Chapter 4: Saiyan Pride
As soon as the light from the sun hit the window in there room Vegeta barged in and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Alright you ungrateful brats you have six minutes to get dressed and meet me in the gravity room or I'm dragging you there myself!" then took his leave. Kaylynn and Hideo, still half asleep searched frantically for there martial arts uniforms. He found everything he needed and changed in the closet letting Kaylynn change in privacy. A task that proved difficult for Hideo in the small cramped space. Especially since they only had about 3 minutes left! He opened the closet door with his eyes closed incase Kaylynn wasn't finished. She gave the go ahead and when he opened his eyes she was wearing a similar dark purple uniform with a black long sleeved shirt underneath. No doubt to help hide her…woman…parts. It was hard to think of Kaylynn or Naomi in that way since they were practically his sisters. Without a moment to spare they rushed to the gravity room they ran inside and stood next to each other in a military fashion.
Vegeta had his back to them and didn't even acknowledge there presence. They looked at each other without turning there heads wondering if they should dare to even say anything. Quicker then they could even imagine Vegeta whipped around and sent a energy blast right at them. Feeling the heat graze there skin they barely made it out of the way in time.
"What the hell!" Hideo screamed at Vegeta his fist clinched tightly at his side. Vegeta chuckled and turned around to mess with the control panel. "Well it's nice to see your reflexes aren't completely shot, with all your cushy years of peace." Then everything changed. Kaylynn felt herself drop to her knees as if she was being pushed down by an unseen force. Hideo managed to stay on his feet but not at all with ease he was struggling just to stand upright. It felt as though his spine would crack under the pressure any moment.
"Now let's try that again." Vegeta said in a purely sadistic fashion. He shot an energy beam at Hideo. He jumped but not quick nor far enough to miss the beam completely. He cried out in pain and landed on the tiled floor with a echoing thud. The tiles beneath him cracked and he just laid there for a moment breathing in through his teeth. Then Vegeta turned his sights for Kaylynn and sent an identical beam at her. Knowing while on her knee's she had no way of dodging the blast she put her hands out in front of her at the last moment.
Her hands felt like they were on fire! She was being pushed back to the gravity rooms wall, her knees scraping on the floor. She bit her lip just to stop from screaming. She wasn't about to let Vegeta have the satisfaction and her mouth quickly filled with blood. Before hitting the wall her used every ounce of her strength and tossed the beam aside and it blew up on the side wall next to her. She sighed in relief and struggled to her feet. When she looked down she saw the knees in her outfit was torn and she felt the blood trickle down to her ankles and the cloth stick to her leg.
Through one opened eye Hideo saw Kaylynn's accomplishment and determinded to not let her one up him he stood as well. Though all he wanted to do was roll back into his warm bed and call it a day. Vegeta seemed assumed.
"Well that tells me a lot about both of your characters. The boy ran from the beam and the girl faced it head on. Though neither of you fret. What your experiencing right now is thirty times earths normal gravity and for you weaklings to accomplish anything in this gravity is impressive." Vegeta chuckled. Hideo gritted his teeth.
"Thirty times earth gravity? You ask the impossible." he grunted as embarrassing is it was he was still struggling to catch his breath. Kaylynn looked like she was in worse shape. He saw her knees shake and her lip quiver. What had they gotten themselves into? Vegeta turned to him with mocking eyes.
"When my son was eight years old he stood a long side me and trained under one hundred times earths normal gravity. It is possible. If anything I am taking it rather easy on you. Your lucky I decided not to force you to train in one hundred times earths gravity from the start in fear your weak bones would crumble under the pressure and gathering the dragon balls for the likes of you, would be a wasted wish."
Kaylynn and Hideo turned to each other and without speaking agreed that no matter what happened they were going to continue this training even if it did kill them both. The only thing Kaylynn regretted was wearing the large pink hoop earrings that Bulma had bought her the night before.
"Now don't tell me, are you weaklings done for the day already? Looks like were going to have to cart off girly to the hospital."
Kaylynn spit the blood out of mouth and matched Vegeta's smirk.
"Hit me with your best shot old man." she smirked. Her mind wondered for a minute and wondered if Naomi's training was as intense as her and Hideo's.
Back at Goku's house they had started at the crack of dawn as well. Naomi thought she looked cute in her little Martial arts uniform. It was the same as Kaylynn's but hers was a sky blue and a cream colored long sleeved shirt. She had spent most of the night before braiding her long raven hair so it wouldn't be in her way. It now reached her shoulders in length. Her bangs were still an mess and stuck out all over the place but that couldn't be helped. She stood outside waiting for Goku to come back from inside. It was beautiful there. There house was a cute comfortable cabin look with a smaller similar built house a few paces from it. Other then that was just wilderness. The hills, trees grass everything was glorious. Naomi was almost knocked to her feet from the new sights. As it was stated they had hardly any grass or trees on there planet.
The smell from the various flowers that Chi Chi had planted outside there house intoxicated her. She could hear in the distance the scurry and chirps from animals she couldn't identify. She could spend her whole life simply in that spot. Nothing but green and the brilliant blue sky above. She hoped her whole training involved being outside. Goku finally came outside and to her surprise was followed by Goten.
"Now are you sure you wanna train today Goten?" she heard Goku say. "You haven't wanted to train for months and were just doing beginner stuff for a while."
"No Dad really I want to fight. I want to help save the earth as much as I can." Goten said not taking his eyes off Naomi. God she had the perfect figure. Makes the girls at school look average. Sure she had a tail but what did he care? He was born with one too even though he didn't remember. All this time together, training together, sleeping under the same roof, he was sure he'd find a way to win her heart. Not before he showed off his strength a little.
"Well that's great, good for you Goten!" Goku said then turned to Naomi and smiled.
"Naomi are you ready?"
She nodded. Next thing she knew she felt Goku strapping weights to her ankles and wrists. It was a big change she was afraid to even attempt to walk with them on.
"I'm sorry, I usually wouldn't start this rough with beginners but knowing Vegeta…well I want to make sure you are prepared. Now, attack me with everything you got!"
Naomi hesitated then looked to Goten. He gave her an assuring nod then Naomi lunged into battle. Normally her speed was something she prided on but now she was still quick but it was nothing like what she normally was. Goku caught or blocked all of her attacks. After a few moments of this she grew angry at her own weakness and poured all of her energy in her punches and kicks. Still nothing. Finally with one powerful punch she broke Goku's guard and delivered a strong kick to Goku's side. She gasped, not only did the kick have no effect but Goku didn't even move. She would have gotten more of an effect on a brick wall. Goku smiled his cheerful smile again.
"That was pretty good Naomi. Your a lot farther a long then I thought you were." Naomi still sighed. Vegeta was right. Compared to them they were weaklings. They were leagues away from the three of them and who knows how long it would take to catch up. The weights on her were only fifty pounds each and it put her this far back. Sensing Naomi's disappointment Goku tried to figure out more about her in an attempt to comfort her.
"Tell me Naomi, what do you want. Over all what are you after?"
She thought about it for a few seconds trying to form the words to explain not only hers but her brother and sister's inner most desires without sounding selfish and power hungry.
"I want to learn more about not only my race, but me. I want to reach the max limit of my power then double it. I want to become a super saiyan. I want to make a difference and be remembered as one of universes most powerful warriors." she said in the most simple terms and still probably sounded conceited but Goku smiled again.
"You know Naomi you sound just like me when I was your age. I still want to get more powerful and it's very possible to achieve that. All of it. But like everyone you have to learn to walk before you can run. Before you know it everything you struggle with will be just a memory. Let's keep sparing. You know us saiyans get stronger after every battle? It may not be a lot since your not near death but hey progress is progress right?"
For the first time Naomi gave a turn smile and nodded. Goku felt his heart flutter for a second then go back to it's normal rhythm. That's funny he thought. Had to have been from the fight. She must have got more out of him then he thought. He signaled for her to continue and the fight raged on. It continued that way for a few hours and each time she got a little better. It was beginning to be fun!
Goku stopped and decided it was time for something else. He looked to Goten and he ran up to them. Still eyes only for Naomi.
"That's great Naomi. Your improving already. Now I want to show you how to use energy attacks. Come on Goten."
Goten stood next to his father and Goku stuck his hand out in front of him. Aiming at Naomi though he had no intention of actually hitting her. He had never really tried to explain how to use an energy attack to anyone. It had been second nature to him since he was just a boy. He hoped everything he said would make sense.
"All you have to do is concentrate. Your attacks are a part of you so just let it flow naturally. Instead of putting your energy into punches or kicks just it all into the palm of your hand. Then gather as much as you need then just let it go. Like this."
Just as he said a ball of light formed into his hand and she could feel the power coming from it. She tensed up as it was aimed right at her. But Goku threw his hand to the sky at the last minute at she watched it fly into the air until it was blocked by the sun. He made everything look so easy.
"Just like punches and kicks energy attacks can be blocked and deflected. Though it's a little different. Watch." Goku formed another attack into his hand and this time intentionally aimed it at Goten. When it was released Goten threw his hand out and sent it flying in the other direction making it hit a tree far off in the distance splitting it and it's neighbors in two. She could hear the splintering wood from where she was. To her surprise the demonstration wasn't over. Goku fired another blast to Goten. This time Goten caught the blast and threw it back at his father. Goku merely stepped out of the way. She was at awe at there movements. A trick like that could definitely come in handy.
"It's a little more tricky but easy once you know how." Goten explained in a gentle voice. Naomi noticed how much they looked a like when there both wearing the same uniform. It was a little frightening.
"It's the same as drawling energy in your hand but instead of using it to attack use it to throw your opponents attack in a different direction. Or if it's enough power for you to with stand you may be able to do it on your own. Don't get to confident though a lot of energy attacks are to powerful to block."
So much to learn she thought. She played back all the scenes into her head trying to memorize everything.
"Give a try at an energy beam Naomi." Goku insisted.
Naomi closed to eyes and did everything Goku had told her to do. She concentrated her energy the best she could. After a while she felt her hand get hot. Trying not to let her excitement break her concentration she tried harder. When she opened her eyes she saw an itty bitty power ball in her hand. It released and knocked down a tree or two. Suddenly she felt light headed and dropped to her knees. The power really did come from inside her. Goku and Goten rushed over to her.
"You did it Naomi. isn't that great?" Goten said in excitement. Sure she had done it but it was puny next to Goku's.
"Yeah Naomi your great! It took Chi Chi much longer to get it right and she didn't have weights on." Goku said picking her up from the ground. Naomi gave a weak smile, partially embarrassed by her poor performance.
"I tell ya what let's stop for some dinner I'm starving. We'll perfect the rest afterwards." Dinner did sound good right about now. Though things were going a lot differently at Capsule Corp.
Hideo knew his heart would pound out of his chest any second. He was surprised his body had any fluids left to sweat. Vegeta had made them do two hundred pushups (switching hands at one hundred) and three hundred sit ups at thirty times earths gravity. Periodically he would stand on one of there backs or chest to add extra weight. Now he had ordered them both to attack him at full force and he had the gravity controls randomly switch from thirty to forty times earths gravity. They were punching and kicking them with as much strength and speed as there bodies had left. All in vain. Neither of them had managed to land a single punch on the cocky saiyans body. He'd block them both with one arm. He elbowed Hideo in the jaw and kicked Kaylynn in her ribs and sent them both flying off into different directions. Hideo hit the floor scraping his face along them tile and Kaylynn hit the wall. Leaving an imprint of her body on the wall. She tried to catch her breath but every intake was painful. If she didn't know any better she would be convinced Vegeta was trying to kill her.
"Get up!" Vegeta demanded looking at both of the broken teenagers. "Were only getting started now attack me!"
Thank god Bulma had entered the room and because of that the gravity had returned to normal and Kaylynn had slide down from the wall and joined Hideo on the floor.
"Come on guys dinner done." she said in a pleasant motherly matter. She spotted her two guests, beaten and bloody on the floor and automatically turned to Vegeta.
"What did you do! I told you to be easy on them!." she made her way towards the two but was stopped by Vegeta's outstretched muscular arm.
"There fine Bulma, I assure you I'm not giving them any more then they can handle. If you coddle them they won't learn anything and think they will always have someone to rescue them when things get hard." Vegeta said turning to them as well. Neither of them had moved a muscle. The cool tile felt soothing on Kaylynn's burning sweaty body. Bulma looked at the determined look on Vegeta's face knowing arguing wouldn't get any where and exited the room with her husband. When the two were left alone Hideo began to chuckle.
"Were still alive." he jested turning his head towards Kaylynn who was above him. She returned the laugh even though it killed her ribs. "Not much longer if that maniac keeps at it the way he is."
"He means well." Kaylynn said recalling Vegeta's last statement to Bulma. "His methods could be a little less medieval though." In the moments of silence both of them had fallen asleep. Every minute seemed like forever Kaylynn wanted to engulf herself in it. They laid there for about twenty minutes then Vegeta came back into the room tray of food in each hand and two bottles of water under his arm. Bulma insisted. He was about to make both of them a sandwich (after his large meal) when Bulma intervened. He cleared his throat and that was all that was needed to wake the sleeping Saiyans from there slumber and they stood as quickly as they could. Vegeta shoved the plates and waters in there hands.
"Be quick about it." he ordered then went to the corner where a weight set was laying and began to stretch and practice on his own. Both of them sat Indian style on the floor with the tray in there lap and began to devour the scrumptious food. Bulma had made steak with potatoes and other vegetables. The nutrition brought them a little more much needed energy though they both were able to eat about four more helpings. As Kaylynn ate she stared at Vegeta in the corner, She knew with the abuse he was giving out she should be angry, maybe even hate him but she didn't. She was entranced in the proud saiyans movements. So proud. Brutal fighting style but he still had grace and cunning in every step he took. Despite his methods and lack of words she could tell they were starting to grow in the proud princes heart.
They both finished there meal then stood for more abuse. Vegeta finally noticed and jumped from across the room to right in front of them. "So far the two of you aren't completely hopeless, but we have a long way to go. Now I see you could fly so I assume you can do energy attacks as well?"
Silence. Flying was easy for them, everyone on there home planet could fly but despite all the sparring they did, none of them had been able to master energy blasts. Vegeta took the quiet as a hint that neither of them knew what they were doing and scoffed loudly. "Surprise, surprise." Hideo grunted. This whole ordeal wouldn't be half as bad if Vegeta wasn't waiting to criticize them at every turn.
"Well you have seen me do it. So do it." he said pacing back and forth. Hideo objected,
"Just because you can do it doesn't mean that we can." he tensed up a waiting Vegeta to attack him luckily no such blow happened.
"You're a saiyan aren't you?" Vegeta asked with the up most confidence. Hideo just nodded not sure where Vegeta was going with this. "Then yes that's all it takes. Our race had a lot of advantages like that. Once you see a move you can mimic it. Maybe not to it's intensity but an effective one none the less. Also your strength will grow after every battle. Also-" Vegeta vanished and then Hideo felt a intense pain course through his entire body. It was mind numbing he couldn't even cry out in pain. He turned his head and saw Vegeta had gripped his tail with a death grip.
"If you plan to keep your tails and avoid this in combat then you need to keep them wrapped around your waist. As your power grows this will become less and less of a weakness but no matter what it's still a painful target of you let it." then he released Hideo from his grip and back on the floor he went. As he laid there he thought Why is it always me? Despite his claims Vegeta did seem to be harder on him then the girls. "Now do it!" Vegeta demanded and while Hideo got to his feet Kaylynn stuck her hand out in front of her and attempted to form an energy beam. Hideo did the same. After a few moments of just standing there feeling stupid Vegeta intervened.
"Focus! Your body is nothing more then an instrument to use your power. Let it come to you naturally don't fight it. Concentrate everything you have in to your hand."
As soon as Vegeta finished his sentence Kaylynn had done it! In her right hand she held a basketball sized blue energy ball. She stopped holding the thing confused on what to do now. She looked to Vegeta and he smirked.
"Good now throw it at me." he insisted. Kaylynn hesitated. "Go on!" Kaylynn released the energy with the mightiest throw she could muster right at Vegeta. Hoping she could get a little revenge for the hell he had put them through on there first day! Vegeta braced but let the attack hit him full in the chest and it exploded on contact. Kaylynn felt her stomach flip. She figured he would at least try and block it and she rushed over to his side. When the smoke cleared there wasn't so much as a rip in his shirt and he hadn't moved an inch from where he had stood. Vegeta saw Kaylynn flying to his side and laughed.
"Your concern is touching girl and I must say rather adorable but it takes much more then amateurs to hurt me." he said. Kaylynn knew that she wondered why she felt the need to check on him. Though that did sting a lot more then it should have for a first time blast Vegeta thought to himself. Thankfully the smoke hid him because that blast actually knocked the wind out of him for a second. If Mohawk boy can do the same these kids could really go the distance. Kakkarot and I may have a bit more of a challenge on our hands then we thought on day. He turned to Hideo.
"So are you just going to stand there all day or are you actually going to do something?"
Just as quickly Hideo had formed the same sized red energy blast and took no hesitation to heave it at Vegeta. Kaylynn jumped back to avoid the blast and again Vegeta just stood there and took it. His stung a little more then Kaylynn's, somehow he was a tiny bit a head of her in skill, or it could have just been he put more energy into his. Though neither of them could tell they both had already done a lot of improvement. Vegeta made his way back to the control panel and they felt the gravity change again only this time it was forty times earths gravity. Kaylynn kept forgetting to take her ear rings out before he did that. It felt like boulders attached to her ears. She could feel the holes where they were pierced start to rip, she feared the needle would merely cut through the skin all the way down her lobe.
"Now let's try blocking them." Vegeta said and took pleasure in watching the teens faces change to horror.
At Goku's house things had started to heat up as well. After dinner every hour that passed Goku added another ten pounds to Naomi's weights. Now she was up to eighty pounds on each limb. Normally it wouldn't be that horrible but Goku had taken her to a lake nearby and insisted they go on a swim. Especially right after they had just gotten done mastering energy attacks. She mastered basic blasts and almost done a perfect Kamaehamaeha wave. Goten and Goku started to strip down to there boxers but Naomi was supposed to leave all her clothes on for the extra weight but oh how Goten wished to see her in a bra and panties. Her delicate ivory skin just seemed to call to Goten. She was beautiful but he had no idea why he wanted her so bad but he did.
As soon as Naomi hit the water her breath was taken away. Even though she had been training in the burning hot sun the water was ice cold. She struggled to stay a float and when she looked below her she could see the entire lake bottom was nothing but jagged rocks. Goku wanted them to circle the entire lake twelve times! But with the current and the all together three hundred and twenty pounds of extra weight strapped on her just keeping up was proving a very hard task indeed. Goku beckoned for her to go faster and she tried her best to keep up but she was a decent distance away from them. After the sixth lap she felt like her arms were going to fall off.
"It's ok Naomi were half way done." Goten encouraged. He slowed down so he would be right next to her and matched her pace incase she needed help. Finally they finished and Naomi used the remaining ounce of her strength to pull herself onto the bank. She was convinced that if she had ran the same distance she would still be just as soaked only with sweat not water. She was drenched though it was comical that her bangs were still sticking up but the rest on her hair laid flat. Laying on the bank she struggled to catch her breath.
"See wasn't that relaxing after a long day of work?" Goku said with his back turned to Naomi, watching the sun go down. The sky illuminating a bright orange color. He turned to Naomi to give her another smile but saw she was still laying on the bank and gave him a dirty look at the word "relaxing." He placed his hand on the back of his head in apology. He had never been on par with normal people and sometimes he forgot that what would be easy for him wouldn't always be easy for anyone else.
"I think you were a little to rough on her dad, it is her first day of real training." Goten said outstretching a hand to help her up. Reluctantly she took it. She didn't want to look weak to her teacher, but Goku merely whined
"Aw, I'm sorry Naomi, it will get easier for you to do with time I'm sorry." Surprised Naomi stammered
"No it's ok Goku I need it." Goku walked up to her. Then she noticed as he stood next to her how tall he was. She reached his chest in height. Knowing the power this man held even in his pinky and to have him stand before you was very intimidating. Then what shocked her further was then Goku pulled her into a tight embrace.
She stood stiff for a moment holding her breath. She never experienced a hug before seeing that her parents didn't even have arms to hold her with. And her friends that she grew up with never really knew the gesture to perform it. They'd wrap there arms around each others shoulders for support but nothing like this. To be so close to each other, she finally relaxed and laid her head onto Goku's chest. Her head moved with each breath he took.
"I'm proud of you Naomi. You have a lot of strength inside you. All you have to do is let it out." then he let go of her and Naomi wished it would have lasted just a few more second. His skin was so warm it heated her cold body.
"Thank you Goku. I'm fine we. What's next?" She asked at that point the sun had gone down and the moon was starting to show (a half moon thank god). "Oh we've done enough for today. Let's get us something else to eat and hit the hay. We will start again at the same time tomorrow, but be ready it get harder at each day." They made there way back towards the house Naomi dragging her feet a long the way. They ate (fish and rice same as the meal before) and she finally changed out of her sopping wet clothes into a different outfit. Just jeans and another sky blue shirt this time it was short sleeved.
When she left the bathroom after changing she was met in the hall by Goten.
"Um hey Naomi…"he stuttered. "Mom didn't have time to clean out Gohan's old room yet so you will have to share my room with me if that's ok. I have a small extra bed in there from where Trunks would stay the night with me, but hey it beats the couch like last night huh?" he said in the most casual way he could without blushing. Naomi just smiled and agreed. As soon as she entered the room she dove under the covers and it was the perfect size for her she still had room to roll if she needed. Goten sighed and spoke as calm as he could.
"You know mom really went overboard when she got me this bed it's kinda huge. I'm sure you would have more room if you wanted to sleep in my bed with me." but his suggestion went unheard Naomi was fast asleep. Damnit Goten thought and jerked the covers over his head. All well he still had plenty of time and it was for the best, he didn't want to come on to strong and freak her out. As Naomi laid there in slumber her body never ached as bad in her entire life. She welcomed the slumber and looked forward to the morning when she could train again. Unfortunately Hideo and Kaylynn didn't have such a luxury.
It was now midnight at the Capsule Corp and Vegeta's training hadn't let up for a second. Now they were training in fifty times earth gravity. All of them doing pushups even Vegeta but he was hundreds a head of them. Finally Hideo spoke out in exhaustion.
"V…Master Vegeta." he changed his sentence as quickly as he could in fear of yet another blow to the head. He hadn't seen a mirror all day but he was sure his skull was full of knots. "Haven't we shown our worth enough today. Whatever you asked we have done but I'm afraid we can't keep up much longer in our condition." It was true. Both his and Kaylynn's bodies felt like nothing but sores. He ached so much he knew at least a few of his bones were broken but the pain was so intense he could not pin point which ones.
"You think the sun dictates when you stop training? Well your wrong kid. Only I can decide when you to have done anything worth while. Needless to say neither of you will be getting any sleep tonight so push that fantasy out of your head." Vegeta said continuing his pushups. Luckily he let Hideo and Kaylynn use both there arms now. Earlier they had master energy attacks and began to make there own signature moves. Though a lot of it was mostly simple exercises proving extremely difficult in such gravity.
Vegeta got up to mess with the control panels, surely to intensify the gravity again. Kaylynn felt a tear form in her eye. There was no way she could take anymore abuse and he just did it without any remorse on the back breaking labor he was forcing them to endure. She stopped and without being fully aware of her actions she saw her self flying across the room to stop Vegeta from changing the gravity. She delivered a powerful kick aimed for Vegeta's head. Without turning around he blocked with his arm and Kaylynn was stuck in mid air. Hideo looked up at the scene and had no choice but to watch. He felt his body drop to the ground. He had to stop even if it were for a moment. Every second was amazing relief.
Vegeta turned his head and gave Kaylynn a evil glare. The look on Kaylynn's face matched. "Enough." she grunted through her teeth. Vegeta pushed her to the side but she landed on her feet. "I'm pretty sure you are not the one to give orders girl." Vegeta barked at her and Kaylynn replied with the same flared anger.
"I am not going to kill myself doing your stupid tasks anymore you sadistic prick. Were not machines we need rest."
Suddenly Vegeta's facial expression changed to a softer one. His tone changed to a soothing one as well. He seemed to ignore Kaylynn's outburst all together.
"Do you know what happens to you when your body is pushed to the absolute breaking point Kaylynn?" It was the first time Vegeta had addressed either of them by name. She didn't reply merely dropped her guard and took a step closer to him to hear him better.
"You find out what your really made of. When all of your natural strength and energy is spent you tap into your real power. Your determination. When each second could be your last and your determination is the only thing that keeps you going you are living for you and no one else. There were times when both of you could give up and called it a night but instead you kept going. That is a warriors spirit and it lives in all of us. Sometimes your not in touch with it until you are forced to be. Look at the boy."
Kaylynn turned to Hideo who was still doing his pushups. Struggling as he may have been, he was still doing it. Then she began to understand what Vegeta meant.
"He stopped for a moment yet despite our conversation he kept going when he could have taken this distraction to rest, and knowing you couldn't really stop me you still tried. Both of you have impressed the hell out of me. I was forced to fight and work under these conditions my entire youth alone. The only thing that kept me going was knowing one day I would make the captors pay. That fire you both share will carry you far but you had to realize it was there before you could tap into. Now anything you do will be all the more easy. You may never understand my methods but what you do need to understand is I would never force either of you to do something I myself couldn't do." Vegeta snatched Kaylynn's right hand and forced it on his chest. Stunned she was afraid he was going to break her hand and then she felt it. His heart was pounding just as fast as hers was and he took just as deep of breaths though it wasn't noticed from the trained expert. She never thought about but from feeling the material of his shirt he was wearing weighted clothing. In this gravity had to weigh a ton.
"But you are never alone. I am right here next to you to sweat and bleed just as you are." Kaylynn felt like a total bitch but could you blame her from his exterior he seemed like an uncaring bastard that took delight in there suffering. There was something deep and loving behind those cold black eyes. "Now come on, there's only six more hours to day break and I have something else in mind for the morning." Kaylynn nodded and obeyed her teachers commands. Vegeta knew if they could last the first two days without giving up they would go the distance. In truth Trunks's waywardness had broken his heart. He wasn't about to teach them everything he knew if they were just going to give up. So far, he was convinced his legacy would still live on.
The bright sun rising the horizon was an amazing sight for the sore eyes of Kaylynn and Hideo. At the moment they were still under fifty times earths gravity and Vegeta stood with one foot on each of there backs as they did pushups and Vegeta was kind enough to lift a four hundred pound weight up and down as he did so. Some how Vegeta sensed it was day and they all traveled outside to enjoy the view. As soon as they walked without the pressure of the gravity it was strange. Hideo's first step brought his knee to his chest and he struggled to regain balance. Kaylynn felt the same. They felt lighter then a feather and it was as if they were taking baby steps out on the front yard. When she had passed a mirror on the wall in the hallway she saw what a wreck she looked like. Sweat drenched hair sticking to her face and stains of dried blood along her chin and forehead, rips in her outfit very much not an attractive look. When they stepped out side and was greeted by the clean crisp smell from the morning dew she could tell they all stunk. Which is to be understood from hardcore training for the last twenty four hours.
"In fear of actually killing one of you we have a very important visit to attend to. Unfortunately we need Kakarot to achieve this goal so we will be going to his house." Vegeta stated staring at the sky. The wind felt good on there battle scarred skin. Hideo felt like new being out of the gravity room and for once was excited to oblige to his teachers commands and jumped into the sky hovering above them.
"Lead the way Vegeta. Were not about to give up now." Hideo said predicting whatever he had in store wouldn't be anything as easy as it would seem. Vegeta looked up to him and smirked.
"Who said anything about flying?"
"But…Goku lives on the other side of the planet doesn't he?" he protested. "Try and keep up." was the last thing Vegeta said disappearing into the distance from his speed and Hideo and Kaylynn followed as quick as they could.
Naomi woke up early so she could hop in the shower before today's training but she didn't want to wake Goten so she crept back into his room where all her clothes were folded in the floor next to her bed with a towel still wrapped around her. With her eyes still focused on Goten hoping he wouldn't stir from his slumber, she reached for her underwear and bra with her tail so her towel could remain on her as long as she could. When they were in hand she walked over to the closet and quickly put them on. In retrospect she thought she should have taken her whole uniform in the closet with her or have taken it in the bathroom with her. Regrettably in her haste sher really wasn't thinking at all. Any minute Goku would be pounding on there door announcing it was time to train. When Naomi closed the closet door Goten stirred. He looked to the spare bed and saw Naomi was gone. He rolled over on his side sure she had just went to the bathroom or something and attempted to go back to sleep. When she emerged from the closet in her undergarments Goten peaked open his right eye then had to bite his tongue from letting out a noise of glee. Naomi turned her head to check that Goten was still asleep and Goten shut his eyes tight before she caught his gaze. When she had her back to him he peaked again. Her body was just as beautiful as he imagined. Skinny but with lovely curves, milky white skin tight ass, Damn that she could change so quickly because he only got a few seconds of a show. When she was fully dressed he pretended to wake up for the first time as well and let out a loud yawn.
"Oh hey Naomi you been up long?" he asked toping off his performance with a nice convincing stretch.
"No, not really just hopped in the shower" she said sitting in the floor Indian style. She brought out her brush and began to try and tame her hair long enough to braid it. This was the perfect opportunity to get to know Naomi and attempt to win her heart.
"Did you have fun yesterday?" he asked starting to slip his shoes on. He had changed into new clothes before he went to bed to avoid stumbling to wake up in time. His dad was rather demanding on that part.
"Yeah I did, I feel like I'm making a little bit of progress." she replied with a smile. Goten returned it.
"Yeah your one tough chick, and really pretty too."
Naomi blushed. That's the first time she received a compliment like that. She found it nice that earthlings looked so much like Saiyans to begin with, but seeing that he was Goku's son that would make him a saiyan too.
"Thank you." she said quietly and continued to braid her hair. When she finished tired to put on a pearl necklace that Bulma insisted would look great on her but struggled to get the latch to snap. "Here let me help you." Goten blushed and placed himself behind Naomi. He moved the hair from behind her neck to her shoulder which gave Naomi a nervous chill. When he had the necklace on he lingered behind her for a little while then got on his knee's in front of her. "You look great." he assured. Naomi felt the blood rush to her cheeks again. "Thank you they are Beautiful aren't they?" she said looking down at the pearls.
"Nothing compared to you." he said. After a few moments of silence he dared to lean in closer. Trying his best to stop himself with shaking from nervousness. He got so close to her he was inches from her face but Naomi wasn't moving away and then…
"HEY GUYS ARE YOU READY FOR ANOTHER GREAT DAY OF TRAINING." boomed the excited voice of his father as he entered the room. "Oh I see you both are already dressed well come on guys let's go." he said running out the door.
"Right." Naomi said jumping up and chasing after him leaving Goten on the floor. Cock blocked by your own father, what a bitch Goten thought grudgingly following them. No sooner did all of them get outside, Goku looked off in the distance with a concerned look on his face.
"Oh Vegeta and the others are on there way, but that's weird why are they traveling on foot?" he said scratching his head.
"You could tell that that's his power from so far away?" Naomi asked wondering when she would be able to do cool stuff like that.
Goku laughed.
"Well when you share a body with someone you get to know there power rather you want to or not."
"Huh?" Naomi was the only thing she could say as her mind raced for an explanation as to how that would ever be possible. Goten ducked his down and whispered "It's hard to explain" he really wished his father wouldn't describe it that way. In time there stood Vegeta before them. Panting slightly to catch his breath.
"Hey Vegeta where are the others?"
When Goku finished his sentence the two other saiyans stopped before. Breathing hard with all there might and Kaylynn was holding her side with pain.
"Slower then Christmas this lot." Vegeta said mockingly to his two apprentices. Hideo gave him the dirtiest look he could muster then went back to catching his breath. Goten and Naomi moved to there side and Naomi put her hand on Kaylynn's back for support cause she was doubled over trying her best to breathe. When she touched her back she could feel how damp her clothes were from the sweat and wondered what kind of hell Vegeta had put them through.
"What brings you here Vegeta?" Goku said also looking to the young saiyans in concern.
"I'm afraid these light weights might be injured to the point no doctor could prepare so we need to make a visit to your friend Korin for some of his senzu beans." Vegeta explained.
"Does he not realize you're here?" Naomi whispered to her friends and Hideo let out a painful laugh.
"No he pretty much always ignores our presence." he said.
"Great idea Vegeta. I think we could all use some until they get more advanced. Ok guys let's all go see Korin." Vegeta and Goku talked for a second which gave Naomi time to check on her panting friends.
"So what's Vegeta's training like you guys."
"Satan!" Hideo said without missing a beat giving the evil eye to the prince.
"No, Mr. Satan probably wouldn't be near as bad as Vegeta." said Goten in a truthful manner. While the three others looked at him with a confused expression.
"We haven't slept since yesterday morning." Kaylynn explained and Naomi's face twisted in disbelief. "And Goku?"
"Actually Goku isn't that bad I'm having a great time." she smiled.
"Oh gooood for yooou." said Hideo in a sarcastic manner.
When they all reached Korin's tower the three of them wondered why they landed instead of flying up to the top, but the relief of flying instead of running was nothing they were going to dare complain about.
"Okay guys we'll see you at the top." said Goku still in flight.
"Try not to keep us waiting to long." added Vegeta and they made there way up to the tower.
"Hey wait what about us?" Kaylynn yelled hands on her hips.
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, the first time you go to Korin's tower you have climb up not fly. It's kind of a right of passage." said Goku with his hand behind his head in an apologetic matter.
"Yeah, I…I had to do it too." Vegeta grunted and they both flew there way up into the blue sky.
"I could stay and climb up the tower with you." Goten said to Naomi and she blushed again.
"That's sweet, but it's ok, you can go ahead really." she replied Goten shrugged and flew after his father and Vegeta. Then the three of them started to climb up the tower. Every bit they climbed they still felt no closer to the stop it seemed to go on forever.
"I…really…hate…that…guy…" Hideo grunted as he moved up the tower. He Didn't see what the point in all this was except yet another way for Vegeta to make them suffer. Naomi was struggling which she immediately felt guilty for considering Kaylynn and Naomi had suffered intense training and they were keeping up with her. She knew for sure they were in pain because when they finally reached the top the two of them collapsed on the floor. Vegeta didn't even move let alone come to there aid.
"These are the saiyans we were talking about, Korin." Goku said introducing them. When they stood they saw the man everyone was talking about was a small white cat who was holding a staff. Convinced he was delusional from lack of sleep and food Hideo looked to Goku for explanation.
"So…why did we come here?"
"Well that's not very nice, you are guests in my home young man the least you can do is say hello." the cat named Korin said and Hideo and the others jumped back.
"What the hell kind of creatures inhabit this planet." Kaylynn said in awe.
"One's with more manners it seems." Korin scoffed.
"Sorry Korin, there all really tired from training. Do you have the senzu beans we asked for?" Goku asked.
"Well if you believe in them that's good enough for me Goku." and Korin fumbled in a different room for a second then came back holding two bags in his hands. He gave one to Goku and another to Vegeta.
"Guys this is Korin. He grows these magical beans that if you eat one all your wounds are healed and you feel as good as new." Goku said and it was music to the tired saiyans ears. Maybe Vegeta wasn't all bad after all. Vegeta placed his bag in his pocket.
"You will get yours after you climb back down the tower." he stated.
"Oh come the fuck on!" Hideo screamed. He felt his blood boiling. Vegeta had to want them dead.
"Yeah Vegeta, don't you think that is a little harsh?" Goku said attempting to reason with Vegeta.
"You train them the way you want to Kakarot, and I will my way. Now start climbing." he ordered his apprentices. They gave a short bow and made there way back down the tower convinced more then ever to make it. "Nice to meet you." Kaylynn said before disappearing. She felt weak. Very weak. Even though they were sliding most of the way down she didn't know how much longer she would last. It was to late. She didn't have the strength to keep holding onto the tower and she fell towards the earths surface.
"Kaylynn!" Hideo cried but he wasn't sure if he could even fly over to her to save her. Kaylynn through half opened eyes saw the ground get closer and closer and she closed her eyes anticipating the impact. The only comfort she had was knowing she had given it her all. Then she stopped. She opened her eyes and saw that Vegeta had caught her and saved her from certain destruction. He landed on the ground. Kaylynn sighed expecting to never hear the end of her sign on weakness.
"I'm sorry." he said in a somber voice still holding her. She rested her head on his chest for support. For some reason the sound of his heartbeat had become a comfort for her. "Perhaps I am being to hard on you two. You don't have to finish. Everything you have done the past two days have proven your worth." he reached into his pocket and pulled out a senzu bean and held it before Kaylynn. In anger she smacked it out of his hand and it landed on the ground. Vegeta looked at her in shock.
"Take me back to where I was." she demanded.
"Didn't you hear me girl? You Don't have to prove anything to me." he said.
"It's not for you." she said. They stared into each others eyes for what could have been a century. "Now take me back." Vegeta nodded and floated her back to the exact same spot she was in and returned to the ground. Watching to make sure she didn't fall again. He would be there to catch her. Goku and Goten landed next to him.
"That was close." Goku said staring up the tower. "What do you think made her want to go back?"
"Because Kakarot, we both share the same thing." Vegeta said.
"What's that?"
"Pride." Vegeta said smiling. Maybe he finally found someone that would really understand him.
