Natto was a little nervous as he walked around Cacumber Capital, the heart of the Saiyan Solar Empire on the Universe. His chest almost couldn’t keep his heart inside, as it was beating like never before. Sweat would continuously run down his temples and forehead. He even thought about giving up on that idea and turn around to train anywhere else by himself, probably on the wasteland like always. But at the same time he was absurdly excited with the thought of training there, on the mighty Imperator, the Queen’s spaceship, which had a coveted gravity chamber, the lust of the warriors, the key to greatness.
He gulped as he got near the formidable spaceship. And he should! It was huge and amazing, a true display of the sheer power of the saiyans that would incite terror on the hearts of all enemies across the whole universe. Natto took out of his armor a pass, granting him permission to train in the gravity chamber. His brother’s words echoed inside his head as he approached: ”Take this, maggot. As I promised! Now go there and become stronger, because the next time I will not let you take advantage of such a dirty trick to defeat me!”. Miso had a few passes to use the chamber, as he was an older member of the army, and Natto strived for such an opportunity. With that in mind, they made a bet: every time they fought each other, should Natto lose he would have to pay Miso 2.000 zenies and should Natto win, he would give him one of his passes to the gravity chamber, allowing him to make use of such a wonderful training facility.
As he approached the guards his whole body was shaking and he slowly gave the pass to them, that analyzed it for just a while before giving him an identification card. – Hurry up, brat. – one of them said and Natto nervously nodded, quickening his pace to get inside. The door closed behind him and he was speechless with what he saw.
It was huge! Not even in his dream he could picture such an incredible chamber. After a few seconds admiring the place, he shook his head and got back to reality. ”Back to reality you moron! You have some serious training to do! No time to be daydreaming!” he chided himself. Shortly after that he walked towards the control panel and started configuring the chamber. ”Lets see… Ten times the planet’s gravity should be enough for a first time… I don’t wanna lose this gold opportunity by breaking both of my legs after a first jump…” he thought to himself as he set the new gravity.
As soon as he pressed the button, he felt that huge pressure taking over his whole body, making his posture give in a little. – Wow! – he said, impressed with the new gravity. It was much more than he expected which made him immediately thankful for his humble decision to start with the lowest gravity increase available.
Initially he had to fight against the desire to take of his battle suit, as it was too heavy, but there was no point in doing that as he wanted his body to get used to that gravity in his usual attire. ”If I happened to go to a planet with this gravity I will not take off my battle suit… So hang in there!” he motivated himself, straightening his posture and sighed.
– Okay… Let’s warm up a little bit first! – he said, as he started walking around the chamber. That pressure was too much, hurting mostly his legs and his back as he body struggled to keep on moving. He was sweating as he would in an intense training in the wasteland just for walking around that chamber! It was truly impressive. After a few minutes walking around, he was just a little more used to it and it was time to make things a little harder.
Natto started jogging and within a few minutes he was already panting, feeling really tired about doing that. He felt a little frustration but it only lasted a second as he soon turned it into motivation and will power. ”I insisted to have this opportunity and I will not give up just because it’s this hard! Come on body, don’t let me down!” he thought to himself and, with that in mind, he gathered his ki, making his ghostly-white aura appear around his body and started running around the chamber. It was incredibly difficult to do that, be he persisted, increasing his speed until he reached his maximum.
He ran at his top speed for as much as he could, which was exactly 7 minutes and 12 seconds before he stumbled and roll over the floor. The pain was immense as his body touched the floor with 10 times its normal weight. – Goddammit!!! – he swore as he rolled across the floor, hitting his back against the wall, making him scream in pain. – Argh!
The young saiyan had to use quite a lot of strength to get back up, and he was panting intensely and sweating even more. He frowned his brow, angry with his own weakness and that anger made him reckless. – Screw it!! – he barked, as he concentrated his ki to make his aura cover his body again. He gathered all his strength and jumped into the air, flying with all his power around the place. The pressure was so great that he felt like he was lifting the whole planet on his shoulders, but he had to endure! He had do surpass his limits and overcome everything!
And that determination lasted for 5 minutes and 29 seconds when his body couldn’t do it any longer and he fell straight to the floor like a rock falling from a cliff. His chest hit the ground so hard that his battle suit almost cracked and he was pretty sure that at least a couple ribs clenched. Natto furiously hit the floor with his fists, crawling a little bit as he tried to get up again.
He gave up getting up just yet and, instead, rolled over, laying on his back to the ground as he tried to catch his breath. He was now breathing more calmly, recovering some of his stamina. ”This is not enough… Not nearly enough… If I aim to become a great warrior I need to do better than that…” his mind was churning with thoughts.
A couple minutes passed and he was ready to get back to his training. He rolled over, laying with his chest to the ground and assumed a prone position with his chest down and back up, with both his fists touching the ground. Natto lifted himself up using his arms and the effort of just maintaining his body like that could already be classified as an intense training. But he wouldn’t be satisfied with that. Immediately after his body felt the pressure of the intense gravity on that position he started doing push-ups with both his fists.
His sweat started dripping intensely to the floor like a slightly opened faucet but he kept pushing forward. His muscles were burning, specially his pectoral, triceps and anterior deltoids.
– 497… 498…! 499…!! 500!!! – when he reached the mark of 500 push-ups with both his arms, he stood there with his arms stretched for a few seconds gathering strength and will power and then he putted his left arm on his back and started again with only his right arm. He managed to do another set of 500 push-ups with each arm and after that he laid on the floor to catch his breath again.
When he recovered a little, he got up, which took longer than before, with Natto having to resort to drag himself up with the wall of the chamber. After that he continuous to walk almost dragging himself within every step towards a steel rope that was hanging from the ceiling. He had to use a lot of his ki to float to the rope and tie his feet on it, being hung up upside down by the rope.
– This is gonna be good! – he said, smirking as he started another set of exercises. The young saiyan started curling his shoulders, arms crossed over his chest, towards his pelvis. His abdominal muscles felt like they were going to rip apart but he kept on pushing forward and forward. Giving up was not an option and he was determined to either hit the mark of 1500 crunches or faint trying.
– 998…! 999…!! 1000…!!! – hitting the mark of a thousand crunches made his body shake violently. He was crying in a terrible pain, but his will was stronger than iron. ”I will never give up! I’ll be the strongest! I’ll protect the saiyan race and its future!”
[/i][/color] with those thoughts in mind, he kept going until he reached his ultimate goal: 1500 crunches. As soon as he finished the last one, his body plummeted.He gulped as he got near the formidable spaceship. And he should! It was huge and amazing, a true display of the sheer power of the saiyans that would incite terror on the hearts of all enemies across the whole universe.

Natto was barely able to breath as he felt like fire was burning his lungs. He tried do crunch again to untie the rope, but he could barely move. Gathering the last bits of his strength, he pointed his palm to the rope and fired a ki blast breaking it.
It wasn’t the best idea but it was all he could do. As he fell to the floor, he landed with his back hitting the ground so hard that he spitted blood and fainted immediately.
After a while he woke up feeling all sore. The gravity chamber was still one and his legs here tied by the rest of the broken steel hope. ”That’s enough… I can’t go any further…” he admitted. The young saiyan started crawling towards the control panel and with much effort he managed to get there, dragging himself up the controls and hitting the button which stopped the artificial gravity. As soon as the gravity came back to normal, he fell to the floor again, feeling light as a feather.
– Hahahaha! What a marvelous feeling! – he said in between his laughs. After a little rest, he took of the rope from his legs and stood up. He wasn’t feeling very good, but he was completely able to walk – and just walk.
That was his first time on the gravity chamber and despite the pain that dominated every inch of his body, he absolutely loved it!
