It was the day after the meeting of the warriors on top of Kami’s Lookout and Nemo’s training with the pink demon Zexama. He would still have five more days to train properly until the saiyans finally arrived at Earth. After he was done with the Majin, Nemo headed back to his home in the Eastern Lands to rest and plan his training program for the next few days. He was intending to seek help from the most experienced warriors he met on top of the tower. Like Bing said, not only they would get to know how each other fought, in case they were battling side by side, but also would be a great opportunity for Nemo to learn from those who are stronger than him. Thankfully for the namekian, he wasn’t arrogant; he knew humility and to admit he needed help if he wanted to be successful in his objective. Every day he would seek a specific different warrior to ask for training, based off the power levels he managed to sense. Tomorrow, he would seek the help of the woman who introduced herself as Reikiko. He imagined he wouldn’t be intruding, since she offered her expertise on her own after she arrived on the platform, and also due to what they would be facing by the end of these fateful seven days.
The next day, he woke up early in the morning and focused on the ki signature he picked up from her when they met on top of the Sacred Tower. It was pointing to the west. Wearing his weighted cloak and his other light weights (along with his maroon pants for training and usual shirtlessness) the namekian jumps to the sky, surrounding himself with a yellow aura of energy to jet faster towards the Crane sensei. Soon enough, the scarred warrior would be hovering this huge space station, from where Reikiko’s energy signature was coming from. He lands calmly in front of what seemed to be the entrance to the incredible structure. Being the polite man he was, he preferred not to intrude any more than he was already intruding; he would see if his sole presence would draw Reikiko’s attention. If not, he would try looking for an intercom or if anything, call her by the name she used to introduce herself yesterday.

It seemed Nemo wouldn't have had to wait long, for Reikiko had been rather quick at sensing the Namekian's presence and after a short delay of only a minute or two that was spend wandering down the corridors of the station the nearby hangar bay opened itself, revealing the child-like entity standing within. She still remembered the reason for the Namekian's visit, in the end he had requested for her expertise in his training schedule today. All in all she didn't mind the idea of lending the Namekian a hand, in the end she had offered her help exactly because she wanted to see the strength in the group of defenders as a whole to be increased. Of course few had accepted her offer, either out of arrogance or pride, but the fact Nemo had asked for her aid had left a pleased initial impress for Reikiko. It took a certain sense of humility and strength to be able to discard your pride to ask for training from someone more powerful than yourself, and as a result she would try to reward the Namekian for his efforts.
"Welcome Nemo. I doubt you're here to socialize so let's get right to training shall we?"
A calm smile lingered on her lips as she gestured toward the doorway behind her, and if the Namekian pursued her he would soon be guided into what might have felt like a labyrinth of corridors and hallways. They weren't even alone. Children, adults and elderly people alike were all seen going about their everyday life on the station, refugees of the floating island of Avalon that had decided to remain and rebuild the family they had lost after Reikiko's sister had attacked the island.
"I been considering the best way to prepare yourself for the battles that might await you, so we'll be doing a bit of an unusual training."
Her tone was clearly more soft and gentle than when she had spoken at the timeless lookout, and when they finally arrived at their destination, a large metal door that started to slide open the sight of several specialized training chambers revealed themselves to the Namekian. In some rooms there were people, judging from their attire martial artists actively sparring against each other, in other chambers a man could be seen fighting against a training droid, and in another there was even a woman dodging a barrage of laser beams from some floating drones.
"The problem compared to Earth's last threat is that our enemy is going to be a literal army. Consider the average warrior among their ranks as strong as an average Earthling martial artist who trained their entire life. Their elites will likely force even the likes of Bing and Cipher to cooperate in order to best them. We'll likely be severely outnumbered, so I'm going to try to teach you the importance of what humans call 'Guerrilla Warfare'. Simply said 'Hit and Run tactics.'"
They finally arrived at the end of the dojo, a single large room with a soft-looking woolen carpet spread beneath it. She had been planning to use a technique of hers, and Nemo would be the perfect one to use it on.
"Don't worry about the room, it's going to serve it's purpose... Have you ever heard about the term 'Imagination Training.' If not, it's a practice among martial arts practitioners that involve manipulating the senses of the mind to make it believe you're experiencing whatever you are imagining. Of course such a technique, while useful for learning strategies is flawed due to the body not being trained during the event."
She stepped into the room, seemingly walking over toward the center before turning around at Nemo as she continued her explanation.
"I improved upon this concept, using my species's affinity for magic to create a technique known as a 'Reality Marble'. To explain it simply, I'm going to distort the area around us, and temporarily influence your senses. Why would I plan something like this instead of traditional exercises? Because I been on Vegeta before, I know what we be facing so I can easily imagine what sorts of nightmares we'll have to endure next week. My Reality Marble's influence will make it so that not only your mind, but body will also experience the things that happen. Don't worry, you won't die, at best dying in the Reality Marble would send you into a shock that renders you unconscious for a bit. But in return it will be as if you experienced the invasion."
She smiles briefly as she lifted a hand into the air, her ki stirring lightly as the energy being conjured started to shift and distort the air around them, and soon the room seemed to be starting to turn toward the scenery of what appeared to be the streets of West Capitol.
"I don't know what the Saiyajin plan on terms of their war tactic, but it's likely they will target one of the more populated parts of our planet, meaning a capitol is the most likely target. Fortunately for us this does give us some options. It would be perfect for this type of combat style."
Reikiko smiled calmly as she started to hover into the air, slowly ascending before gesturing at her surroundings.
"For the time being try to suppress your energy. In its suppressed state even the scouters of a Saiyajin will likely mistake your presence for a helpless citizen or an animal. To start your training I want you to blend in with your surroundings and try to ambush me several times, firing a ki projectile at me and retreating before I can properly retaliate. Once you get the hang of it I will be increasing the difficulty. Perhaps if you last long enough I'll let you experience the same type of excitement I felt when I fought my first Supah Saiyajin."
And so she waited for Nemo to respond to her, she hoped this type of training wouldn't make him more of an asset on the battlefield, but also increased his chance of survival.
-Dojo is in use, due to Nemo being a temporary honorary member of Avalon this means a +40% increase in PL gains-

A couple of minutes passed since the namekian landed in front of the magnificent Avalon station when the kid-looking power house named Reikiko came out of the door to meet her most recent guest. ~ “Greetings, Ms. Reikiko…. and thank you for considering my request” ~ The greenie politely greets the young looking homunculus as she comes out and addresses him. Then, following her gesture, he proceeds to walk with her towards the core of the space station where their training would take place. She explains her intentions of providing Nemo a bit of an unorthodox training session. ~ “I see. I will trust your expertise on this matter” ~ Nemo replies to Rei’s statement about her plans for their drill.
Nemo watches amazed the settings of the homunculus’ lair; it was huge, with an incredible architecture and was flourishing with life, regarding the number of individuals inhabiting the interior of the hi-tech site. AS the duo crosses a huge metallic door and proceed further into the heart of the Avalon, Nemo witnesses quite a few warriors training themselves in separate rooms, probably getting ready to face the saiyans as well when they finally came. During their walk, Reikiko provides some insight regarding the size and power of the army of aliens coming their way, saying even someone as powerful as Bing would require team work to take on a few individuals, whose names she left in the shadows, as knowing them was probably not needed for Rei to illustrate her point. ~ “I’ve fought a few saiyans in my career, myself. A nasty bunch, indeed… No one can deny they are fearsome warriors. I am also familiar with the concept of guerilla. Had to study about combat tactics in the Patrol. Although the running part of it doesn’t please me. A true warrior fights until the end” ~ The greenie interjects, pointing out stoically.
Finally, the two reach the intended destination by the dojo. She provides some briefing on her plans for their exrcise together; an interesting reality warping technique called “Reality Marble” the Crane sensei created herself. Apparently, Nemo would be doing a small “astral travel” of some sort, although the effects would reverberate in his physical body. According to the kid-looking sensei, there was no danger of a real death from this however, which would be a good thing. You can say being alive would be helpful against the saiyans. ~ “I understand. This should be interesting” ~ Nemo addresses her as she finishes her explanation. Then… the scenery around them began to change, transmuting itself into a human city after his temporary tutor holds her hand up, conjuring energy to produce their new landscape. Incredible.
It was then that she asked something that would be a little hard for Nemo to do. She asked him to suppress his power. The closest thing he could do regarding that was what he was already doing: use weighted clothing. If anyone used a ki-reading device on him, they would provide a number a close to 3.700 power level units. Without his weighted clothing, he would be at almost 15.000. And at full power, he could reach about 60.000. But those were the intervals of power he could reach. He has heard of martial artists capable of camouflaging their ki to make it feel as low as the user wanted it to appear to his or her opponents. However, he has never learned how to do it himself. He just hoped it wouldn’t make Reikiko think too low of him because of this. ~ “I’m sorry, Ms. Reikiko…. I’m afraid I cannot make my ki any lower than it is already… With my weighted clothing, it is as low as it can get already… I’m sorry if that’s a disappointment to you” ~ The embarrassed namekian interjects, looking down as she finishes her explanation.
