(Not sure if Natto has guards for his ship, gonna assume he doesn’t for now. Will edit, those parts out if it turns out he does.)
Aspa was bored, he hadn’t trained or done anything worth doing for a couple days. He wondered what he should do to alleviate the boredom that he was suffering through. The newest potential elites were a disappointment and it was a waste of time to try and train them. Two of them hadn’t been seen in weeks, Brocko is completely fucking crazy, Riku was ok, but he didn’t like his personality and the tolerance to Brocko’s craziness.
‘Maybe, I should just focus on bringing some of the more powerful saiyans up to stuff,’ he thought before getting up from his comfortable sofa that he was laying on. Walking out of the house he was shut in for days, he grabbed the nearest saiyan and took their scouter. Clearing his voice he would send a verbal message to Tomo, if she still had her scouter of course, if not then he would simply blast it to all scouters on Vegeta and tell them to have Tomo go to the Star Javelin for gravity training.
“Tomo, it is Aspa. I am borrowing a scouter from a low class warrior to send you this message. Come to the Star Javelin, for training if you want to train.”
If she didn’t still have her scouter the message be different. He would ask every saiyan if they see Tomo to send her to the Star Javelin for gravity training. After that was done and after giving the scouter back to the warrior, Aspa would fly towards the spaceship in order to access the gravity chamber upon it.
Upon seeing no guards, he would grit his teeth. The Imperator was bathed with them. ‘Damn it you’re far too trusting Natto,’ Aspa thought before deciding to assign guards for the ship. Who knows who could’ve accessed the ship and sabotaged the ship. He would have the engineers look at the ship after the training session.
Walking on board, Aspa would head towards the gravity chamber. It had been a long time since he had used it. He wondered at what level of gravity Tomo was on. Aspa himself had only done up to fifty times normal gravity. He would wait until she got there in order to see to what level of gravity she was up to.
But he hoped that she was at fifty so they could do a spar at sixty times the normal gravity.
Shrugging, he decides to try and learn how to suppress his Ki while he waits for her. Not knowing how to begin, he guessed he would simply have to move his Ki around and see about shrinking it to unsensible levels.
Sitting down near the control panel, Aspa would cross his legs and start to meditate in order to feel the Ki within him. Starting to move it around he would practice increasing the Ki within his body to it’s utmost levels before trying to shrink it to unsensible levels.
He would continue doing this until Tomo arrives at the Star Javelin.

[Thread power level: 49,922, Heavy weights on: 12,481]
Tomo had been sitting at home, still awake after having pulled an all nighter. She was currently working on her scouter since her previous one had broken in her fight against the brat. She had a screwdriver in her right hand poking away at all the different parts within the core of the device while the other held it steady. Her tongue was sticking out the side of her mouth as she focused on her work. Not only did she build this thing from scrap parts lying around her mothers workshop, she had managed to find a few of her programs and modify them (with her moms help) to suit her needs. For starters, she added in the function for the scouter to tell her how far away power levels were from here in a smaller number underneath the power level reading. Another function she had started to add in was a racial recognition. There was so much she didn't know about aliens that she needed some way to help her keep track of them... and while the program didn't fully function, it would at least help her with the basics. A sigh escaped her lips before she let go of the scouter, leaning back in her chair and stretching her arms high above her head. She was about halfway done with the scouter... while it's basic operations were available, there was still so much more she wanted to do with it. However, just as she was about to bring her arms down, she heard Aspa's voice blare through the speaker. She jumped and dropped the screwdriver which fell from her hands and knocked her in the head, tip first. It left a slight cut on her forehead before clattering to the floor uselessly. Obviously, Tomo hadn't fixed the volume on the stupid thing, causing her to grunt loudly before grabbing the scouter and dumping it into the drawyer of her desk. "I should really just get some sleep..." The girl stated with a light grumble as she pushed herself up from her seat, yawning again before rubbing at her face, leaving a couple of oil marks across her cheeks and nose. "Gravity training isn't easy... but I guess... If I'm going to catch up to Natto I should... no rest for the weary..." She eyed the heavy armour sitting on her bed and walked over to it, slipping it on over her head and adjusting it around her torso before stepping out of the room. She peered around carefully, not wanting Etoru to know that she was finally coming out of her room and quickly tiptoed her way out of the house. Once she was outside, she took to the air, flaring up her ki and speeding off from the home as fast as she could back towards the star javelin. When she got there, she landed on the ground with a slight tumble, another yawn escaping her lips as she approached the ship. She walked up the ramp and inside, glancing around to see if anyone was there. No one was waiting around, except for ASpa who was sitting in the gravity room, meditating. She raised an eyebrow at the scene... Hadn't she just walked into Natto doing the same thing the last time she had come here for training? "Is there something about meditating I'm just not getting?" The girl asked Aspa as she stepped into chamber. She looked much more sloppy than normal, simply because she hadn't slept the night before. Along with the oil on her face, there were dark lines under her eyes, her hair looked spikier than normal and her clothes just over-all ruffled, and not like she had just been in a fight either. ----------- Word count: 622

Aspa continued to manipulate his Ki growing it before slowly shrinking it in order to suppress it. He continued to shrink it, until someone with Ki Sense or a Scouter would see that Aspa was barely at a three hundred in power level. But he couldn’t hold it there for prolonged periods of time. After a few seconds, Aspa lost control of it making his power level soar back to the sixteen hundreds. That’s when he felt her enter the ship.
He continued to manipulate his Ki in order to make him more proficient in it. But Aspa knew that he needed to be better at holding a specific level of ki in order to truly master the technique he was trying to learn. He however continued to meditate until he heard her speak.
“Meditation calms the mind, and it makes it easier to manipulate your Ki. I am attempting to learn how to suppress my Ki, so I can sneak up on the enemy easier. It would also be useful for sparring with weaker opponents. What level of Gravity is next for you? The next level for me is sixty.”
Aspa said that in a calm voice, while meditating. It didn’t make him lose his concentration on the task at hand however. He started to shrink his Ki once more back down to what the scouters would say was a three hundred power level. He knew he would fail again, but it was the effort that was important. Aspa knew he would eventually succeed in this endeavor.

"Not sure my mind could stay calm long enough to get anything accomplished..." The young girl admitting, both of her hands moving to the back of her head as she stepped into the room and walked towards the gravity machine. She was always thinking of something... how to get her memories back, how to get stronger, how to develop new programs with her mom to make a new advance in their technology. Sure it was strange for a saiyan to be sitting behind a desk thinking of technology but her mother was really good at it, and it turn she hoped that she could help her out.
She shook her head and brought her hands down onto the machine, programming it for 20x gravity. This way it wouldn't be too much of a shock to her body or to the meditating Aspa's. Even though he was far ahead of her in the gravity training. She really did plan on coming to use the gravity machine on her own at some point, but it seemed any time she had to do it, she was summoned for another form of training.
"Well... anyways I just finished up 20x gravity training with Natto recently, so I'm sure I can up it to 30x... you sure you want to be training on such a low level?I'm sure I can catch up sooner rather than later if you wanted something on a more even plateau?" Tomoroko asked him before turning the gravity machine up to 30x. She had to grip the edge of the machine as she felt like something suddenly wailed into her shoulders and was attempting to drag her down to the ground. Her knee's very nearly buckled under the sudden gravity increase, both due to being very tired, and the new pressure of the gravity. She found that the air around her got thick again, finding it difficult to truly catch her breath in the new gravity. ---------------- Word count: 325

Aspa smiled while he started to suppress his energy and hold it. It seemed like he would be able to do so for as long as he wanted. Upon opening his eyes, he still felt a sense of calm. Like his normal inner turmoil vanished while he suppresses his ki completely. He wondered why that was so, If Tomo were still using her scouter, he would completely vanish from it. It seemed like Aspa has found a technique that allows him to go unsensed by scouters, and people that could sense.
“I feel calm, for the first time in years. Tomo, all you need to do in meditation is clear your mind and let your mind wonder. It’s a good calming technique.”
Unsuppressing his Ki, Aspa would stand up. He felt the gravity increase to twenty times normal gravity, but he could barely feel the pressure from it. Watching her turn it up once more, he would smile.
“So you’re up to thirty times normal gravity. I’ve only done up to fifty times myself. Take your time to get use to the gravity, Tomo. I have all the time in the world. Maybe work on a technique, before we spar. I can wait.”
Directly after saying that, Aspa drops forward catching himself on the thumb of his right hand. His left hand behind him. Spreading out his legs beyond the width of his shoulders, he would start doing one finger push ups. Planing on doing this for a thousand per finger, he could wait. It wasn’t like he was going to get bored watching her train on her own. Besides, he could give her advice on what to do.
“One… Two… Three… Four…”
And so it began, his long arduous training session of one finger push ups.
Ki Suppression learned!

'I can't just let it wander... i... maybe I could give it a try sometime... when I can pull away from my training...' Tomo thought to herself with an inward sigh. Outwardly however she smiled at Aspa and the calm look he had on his face. While Aspa wasn't the most agitated person she knew it was nice to see him actually relax for a change.
"I'll definitely give it a try at some point, but no guarantees. I'm a busy girl~" She stated while taking a deep breath to steady herself before stepping away from the gravity machine sluggishly. It seemed every time she stepped into the gravity machine and turned it on, her body just slowed down in a much different way than she had seen the gravity affect others. She was determined that she wouldn't let it beat her though, she would work through it and come out stronger for it in the end.
"Alright! Hey... you know this is technically the first time the two of us have had a chance to be alone? It's kind of strange not having the others around..." she noted, quickly shutting her mouth as she noticed that she was starting to ramble, much like her annoying younger brother. This thought made her frown as she braced herself into a running stance and then pushed her body forward. Though she didn't take off into a full fledged run, it was definitely a good start for someone working under an intensified gravity that she wasn't used too. She was speed walking around the gravity chamber in laps, working her way up to a slow jog. If she was going to spar against Aspa, who was already used to the gravity, she needed to be able to move. That meant, she needed to run, and she needed to take to the air as quickly as she could.

Aspa continued to do his push ups while watching Tomo do her own training in order to master the gravity within the chamber. Aspa was already on the thumb with the other hand. He did push ups quickly and effectively in order to reach the maximum workout.
“Five hundred… Five hundred one… Five hundred two…”
He listened to Tomo talking while she did her routine, and found that she was correct. They never spent any time alone with each other. He wondered why that was. Mentally shrugging it off, Aspa continued his training regiment.
“Don’t know, but I’ve wanted to hang out with you for a while now. Get to know you more, since you’re a fellow Saiyan.”
Aspa continued with his push ups not really paying attention to the number he was on anymore. He was watching Tomo, while sensing what she was doing with his Ki sense.
“If you put Ki into your muscles, it’ll strengthen them and allow you to adjust to the gravity quicker.”
After a while, Aspa would flip over onto his back and begin the next set of work out. High intensity ab crutches. Every time he did a crutch he would do a ki blast at the ceiling, or did a ki manipulation exercise and continued to rotate them.

"I know that... using my ki will help but... what's the point if... I have to focus it on moving... if we're going to spar... I need to concentrate it on... other things" She said through gritted teeth, shutting her eyes tightly for a moment as she jogged. She had done just that in her training with Natto, fueled her legs with enough ki to get her moving... however that kind of felt like cheating to her, like her muscles weren't truly getting used to the increased gravity pushing her down. With a determined grunt, she pushed herself to go even faster, much to her muscles screaming against the intensity of the gravity. She soon began to full out run around the gravity chamber, going faster and faster with each rotation. Soo, she stopped running altogether to change her direction, starting to run once more as fast as she could.
Soon, she took off from the ground ,lifting herself off of it and soaring through the room. If she wasn't careful, she could easily miscalculate her flight and go slamming into a wall, so that added onto the list of things she needed to concentrate on while fighting this gravity.
300 flying laps later, Tomoroko landed back on the ground, except she landed on her hands instead of her feet. Her left elbow began to buckle slightly and she had to push herself back up into the air before she collapsed onto the ground underneath her. She then put herself back down more carefully, and started walking about slowly, upside down until even her upper body would start to become used to the gravity.
"Hey... Aspa... Question. Do you really think... that uhm... that I'm a good addition to the team..? I mean... I don't just want to be here because of.... Natto." She said through heavy pants and breaths as she continued her upside down walk, soon pushing her arms down and up to flip herself back up onto her feet, and then once more onto her hands, and back up once more.

Aspa continued to do his extreme ab crutches while listening to Tomo’s comments about it wouldn’t help her and distract her from sparring with him. Standing up, he would look straight into her eye from across the chamber.
“Tomo, it will help you adjust to the gravity easier. By putting the ki into your muscles, you strengthen them. Once you’re able to move freely, you slowly take the Ki out of the muscles while continuing to work out. This way, the strain will lessen on your muscles and you get stronger. I do it for each level of gravity I undergo.”
He would fall backwards and start to work on his crutches, while sensing her progress. It was very good, but slow doing it her way. The method that he had explained to her, would speed up the training to get use to the environment greatly, but it was a cheat method and still would help her out.
He wondered why he called her out like this, he didn’t really get it. He would rather train on his own instead of helping others train. He felt like a mentor, he supposed he was one of the most experienced warriors on Vegeta. He was starting to feel like it was his duty to help the less experienced warriors train.

'I guess I could try that... No harm in it I guess...' She thought with a silent sigh as she fueled ki into the muscles of her arms. She instantly found it much easier to support her weight, and it was almost a joke whenever she flipped herself forward and back onto her feet. She shifted her manipulation into her legs, feeling the muscles infuse with the familiar energy. She skipped and brought her right leg up into the air, beating an invisible enemy with a barrage of side kicks. She fired a roundhouse kick before following through with it to begin another barrage of kicks with her left leg. She put her leg back down and began punching at her invisible enemy while throwing in a few kicks here and there, testing her accuracy and reflexes as she continued fueling ki throughout the different muscles that she was using.
"You're right this is a lot easier... focusing my ki so quickly though is kind of a challenge." She admitted, fueling it back into her legs once more. She used it to kick off the ground and move into a series of flips throughout the chamber. She landed on her hands again, and then pushed herself into a back spin, soaring above Aspa and landing next to him. She let herself fall back to her butt, sweat already pouring down the sides of her face as she grinned at Aspa.
"Thanks for the tip Aspa... that did work a lot better. I think I should be okay now." She stated as she wiped at the sweat on her face with her arm cover. Seemed like they were good for more than just fashion.

Aspa smiles while watching Tomo try his little cheat method for gravity training. He, would stretch slightly and yawn like he were tired. He wasn’t close to tired, but she didn’t need to know that.
“Now that you’re use to the gravity while your muscles are infused with Ki, slowly take the Ki out while getting use to the gravity. Once all of the ki is out of your muscles, you’ll be able to fly in here without having the Ki in your muscles all the time.”
It worked, it just wasn’t a common training technique in Gravity training with most people simply walking around while trying to not collapse from the gravity, that puts more strain on the muscles which could cause more damage. His little cheat method puts less strain on the muscles but the benefit of making getting use to the gravity quicker and easier.
“Now, I want you to do push ups how I was doing them. You do not have to do the one finger ones. You can start out with both hands, if you want to do so. This will help your arm strength.”
Aspa would watch her while she gets ready to do the push ups. Once he sees she’s doing them easily, he’ll sit on her back to make it harder by making it heavier, but giving her more results during the training. The sparring can come later.

"Alright..." She said as she let out a breath, exhaling just as she would take the ki out of her muscles. She could feel the gravity start to set in once more, but at this point her body was already quickly making adjustments to function properly within the gravity. she would bring her arms close to her and stretch them out, feeling her muscles contract under the loss of ki and sudden exposure to the gravity. She then reached down to stretch her back and legs by touching her toes. She would do a couple of those repetitions before stretching her legs out then doing as Aspa suggested. She brought herself to the ground and immediately began doing push ups. The look in her eyes slowly changed, her eyes becoming much more determined as she pushed herself up and down, then up again. At first, she would just do regular push ups, never having been the best at this exercise to begin with... but she would soon move one hand behind her back, spreading her legs out at an appropriate angle before attempting the push ups again.
These were much slower and much harder, however Tomo knew she had to keep going. She had to keep pushing herself as fasr as she could go, regardless of how much her body protested against her. Whenever Aspa finally made his way over and sat on top of her, she couldn't help but smirk at the action, never protesting as she pushed herself even harder. Her arm would shake under the pressure of his body weight, along with her heavy weights, causing her to have to slow down every now and then. However, only after a couple hundred repetitions on her right arm did she switch to her left arm. She sucked in a deep breath before she would push herself up and down again.
Sweat would drip down from her forehead, making the surface she was trying to work out on much more difficult to work with. Every now and then her hand would slip, but she would push herself up just enough to adjust her angle so that she didn't face plant. Aspa was taking time out of his own training to see that she would push herself even more... she couldn't disappoint them... she couldn't keep dragging their team behind, she had to become stronger.

Aspa would watch Tomo’s form while she did the push ups he had assigned her. Nodding while watching her go to one hand. It seemed like she was doing ok with them, he wondered when he should make it harder on her even though he was wearing his heavy weights he wondered if she could handle the extra weight from his set as well as her own set.
Staring at the young woman he sighed while his thoughts drifted off to Hana. He felt a ache in his chest whenever he thought about her. Pushing them aside for now he would concentrate on the woman in front of him.
Walking over to her, he would turn around and plant his small butt on her lower back before bringing his legs up so they’re resting upon her butt.
“Continue your push ups, until I say stop.”
Closing his eyes, he would start to meditate while she continued doing her push ups. He would let his mind wander while he meditated. ‘I wonder how Hana is doing now,’ he thought while letting his senses go past the chamber in order to find the star that would indicate her. He would know her presence by heart due to him using his senses to find her near daily, sometimes multiple times a day to just make sure she was alright.

While Aspa's added weight was a lot for her to handle, she continued her push ups none the less. She was a lot slower doing them of course but she refused to let her brother figure see that it was too much for her. Her face was going red from the pressure of both his weight and the heavy weights that he was wearing, and she had to stop herself after just 30 push ups to give herself proper time to breath. She put her second hand back down on the ground again, keeping herself up before hesitantly bringing up the arm she had been using during the 50 Aspa was sitting on her.
She sucked in another deep breath before she started doing another 50 on her other arm, shaking and trembling until her muscles were able to adjust to the weight and properly hold herself up. She glanced back over her shoulder whenever Aspa continued to not make a peep, or even move raising an eyebrow. She continued her exercises until she was 500 push ups in, and finally decided it was time to do something else, she was used to this.
Her tail wiggled it's way out from underneath Aspa, reaching up until it was face to face with Aspa's nose and began tickling it with her fur. On one hand, she was curious to see if he could maintain his meditation with such a distraction, on the other, she hoped she couldn't to see his hilarious reaction to her interruption. ------ Word count: 254

Aspa continued to meditate on Tomo’s back, while gently wrapping his tail around her waist. Aspa subconsciously did it, he didn’t think about it. It seemed like Aspa was protective of Tomo without even thinking about it. Feeling Hana’s ki, Aspa would smile gently. ‘She’s ok. That’s very good,’ he mentally sighed while feeling Tomo going up and down with her push ups.
After a while, Aspa would stop sensing Hana and focus on his meditation. He needed to be calm, after a bit he felt fur on his nose and Tomo stopping with her push ups. Smirking a little bit, Aspa would pretend he would be ignoring the little tickling of his nose.
Aspa continued to mediate through the tickling of his nose, before moving his tail slowly. Opening his eyes, he would look at Tomo before smirking widely. Turning over he would aim his hands at her arms. He was planning on tickling her armpits,
"So you think you can initiate a war without consequences!"
He didn’t care, she needed to be punished for thinking she could interrupt him! But the punishment would be more in good humor than anything else.
