Not this time, brother (x130 gravity)

It had been a day since that huge mess at Icarus laboratory, where the queen herself had to come and avoid that something regrettable was actually done. Natto almost killed Icarus with his Final Spirit Cannon on his base form, and the tuffle android almost retaliated with an even stronger blast at him that would’ve probably catch Tomoroko on the way if it wasn’t for Zucceta, who brought the young saiyan warrior back to his senses, even though she had to resort to a little convincing and a little threatening. Luckily, everything was alright now and they were about to go to war against Earth, and that was going to be a much harder and deadly war than the one-sided war that waged against Arcose. Wyntre’s army didn’t even tickled the saiyans elite and with nothing but a single squad with the topnotch of the army they conquered it. After that, only Icarus and Mayze defeated and destroyed the second largest planet of the previous enemy empire, Kanassa.

Natto had only a couple days before marching to war and he needed to make the most of his days by training. Due to that, the young saiyan warrior was on his training hub on the gravity chamber of the Star Javelin that had just been repaired after he made some damage on its walls using his final explosive wave. The saiyan was more careful now not to screw things over, since he didn’t want to spend any more money repairing the ship, but it was getting really hard not to damage it with the constant increasing power of his and the absurd gravity he was putting himself through. To endure the gravity of a hundred and thirty times the normal one, Natto had to turn super saiyan from the beginning, and so, the bristled golden haired, teal-eyes warrior was there, doing all the forms of his fighting style to keep it sharp and his reaction as natural as possible. He would repeat it over and over again, as a daily exercise, only with the difference of the gravitational pressure now.

His mind was focused on his body movement and that was also something he wanted to do, since thinking wouldn’t help him. It was true that Zucceta’s and Tomroko’s words made him feel more at peace, but he was still feeling rather unease about this whole war idea. It seemed premature to do it right now. If only they could’ve waited a little longer he was pretty sure he could keep on pushing Tomoroko and Aspa beyond their limits and even – who knows – make them unlock the potential to achieve the legendary super saiyan state. He was sure they had it in them, but didn’t know if they could find an appropriate trigger even if they had to wait another month. ”Yeah… Maybe waiting wouldn’t help much… But still… I need to fight this uncertainty… As the queen said, the earthlings are just like the tuffles! How could I’ve failed to see it?! They are tricky and treacherous! Just look at Reikiko! She is an earthling who devoured a saiyan! And she even made Kaula betray us! Now I can’t help but to think that she made it on purpose, willing to hinder our strength! Damn! I even almost doubted my resolve towards my empire…” he gulped, as he threw a spinning roundhouse kick on the air, with drops of sweating flying away from his body as he kept on doing the movements. He wasn’t tired at all and due to his mastery over his super saiyan form, he could keep up with such a training for ours as his body got used to the enhanced gravity.

Natto remembered about Beryl and Rose Snow, the later who he hadn’t seen in quite a while. They were good people, but they could very well be exceptions, since Virtual Poi seemed like a quite big figure down there. The young saiyan shook his head and jumped high into the air throwing a sledgehammer onto an imaginary enemy while vanishing and reappearing back on the floor, throwing a knee strike upwards and the somersaulting back into his fighting stance. ”Can’t take them as the core of that race… Just look at what their blood do when it gets mixed with ours! The earthlings are scary! They can’t be trusted… Like Kaula couldn’t… She even made Radasha betray her own kind and she will most likely fight for the earthlings since she is there… And after that she will probably be eliminated by them, like the queen said… And what Reikiko had done to the very first super saiyan in a thousand years, that Athren guy… That cannot be overlooked and I knew it since back then! I knew that it wasn’t something to be alright with!” he gritted his teeth and he threw a lariat on the invisible enemy he had been facing endlessly.

”She will pay for that! If I happen to come across Reikiko, I will do my best to defeat her… I hope she is my enemy… But I don’t want to encounter Kaula… I wouldn’t like to have to kill her and I don’t know if in a fight I could afford to avoid killing her… She is quite dangerous and I can’t even grasp what sort of training she had been up too with that monstrous alien scum of a girlfriend… To face both of them together… Gosh, that would be hell! I can’t let Aspa and Tomoroko to face such challenges… They aren’t strong enough… Talking about them…” Natto gulped, crouching and sending a spinning low kick, before rolling on the air and landing with his heel on the floor, where it would be the neck of an enemy, to break it and kill the foe by making him chock to death. ”I can’t help but feel scared… They can’t handle the top dogs… And I don’t know about the power of the other warriors on Earth, but I can only imagine that they would be too much without relying on the power of the mighty Great Ape… And if we don’t have a moon there, we will need the power ball… I truly hope the queen will teach us that… Still, I would rather not be the one taught that… It would make me feel much safer if it was either Tomo or Aspa… They need it much more than I do since I’ve unlocked the super saiyan transformation…” he thought to himself, as he stopped for a little bit, to start over the whole attacking series again.

– Maybe a couple more rounds of it and I can call it a day… - he said to himself, as he slid back into his fighting stance, ready to go all over again with his movements, when the door of his royal spaceship suddenly opened, making him stare at it with curiosity. ”Who the hell is here?” he was so focused that he didn’t feel the ki energy approaching and he didn’t have his scouter on. Truth be told, he wasn’t wearing anything but a black underwear and his tail was hanging loose. The power he felt seemed familiar, but it was quite strong and he didn’t relate it to anyone. It was possibly around the hundred thousand. The light from the outside didn’t allow him to see the person who was there just yet, but the guy was really tall. – Hey you! Be careful! I’m at 130G and if you walk in you will break all your bones! – he said to the person while he tried to look at his face. But then, out of nowhere, the person’s power level skyrocketed in a flash, going beyond the mark of one million, and that made him back step and widen his eyes while he also arched both of his brows. – W-what the heck?! – he exclaimed, as the men charged at him with a bright gold ki aura around his body. – Shut up, maggot!!! – the familiar voice said as he punched Natto on the face, sending him flying towards the wall of his spaceship. The young saiyan warrior had to use all his reflexes to stop in mid-flight in order not to crash against the wall and damage it. Still, he was completely awestruck to finally realize what was going on: Miso, his elder brother who he hadn’t been in touch for weeks just appeared on his ship and, even more impressive: he too had become a super saiyan.

– M-miso?! Y-you are a super saiyan?! – he asked in disbelief. He was feeling a mix of both surprise and pride towards his elder brother. – Of course! If you could manage to do it, I would definitely be able to, you stupid ass! And now I’m gonna kick your ass so badly that you are going to need a new life to get back on your feet! Hahaha! – he laughed in a cocky tone that preoccupied Natto, as he seemed to be really serious. The young saiyan took a step back. – Why would you do that?! I thought we were good since the last time we talked! – he said, in an anxious tone, to which Miso answered by laughing and charging again, trying to land a barrage of punches on Natto’s face. Due to the surprise, the younger saiyan warrior had trouble to dodge it even thought he was almost four times faster than Miso and more used to handle gravity, which only gave him a greater upper hand on the battle. The punches almost hit Natto’s face as it grazed beside him. – Yeah! I was, douchebag! Until I heard you almost killed the freaking scientist! – he said in a jokingly tone, making Natto even more surprised he knew that.

– How do you know tha… UGH! – when Natto stopped to ask him about it, he seized the opportunity to land a powerful uppercut on Natto’s chin, making him stumble backwards, almost losing balance. Before he could finish recovering, Miso was already close enough and landed a powerful knee strike to Natto’s gut, making him moan a little bit and then jump away from him and back into some sort of fighting stance. – What the fuck Miso! I… I had my reasons! You should understand that! Dad always said that… - he started to speak, but Miso fired a barrage of ki blasts, that got Natto occupied blocking, since he didn’t want his ship damaged by them, especially not the gravity control. – Wanna know why, stupid little brother?! Because if there’s anyone who can tell us who killed mom and dad is that fucktard of a Tuffle! He is the freaking database of our empire, you moron! And you almost killed him! – he said, while throwing a roundhouse kick aiming at Natto’s faced, which the younger saiyan swiftly dodged by crouching and landing a low kick that dropped Miso with his back on the floor, making a loud noise.

– But he is a tuffle! Dad told us the evil they did when we trusted them! I… I just wanted to kill our enemy! I thought he was poisoning the empire… You saw the war images, right?! They were terrible and I… - but before he could finish, a blue-colored energy wave was fired at Natto’s face, making him growl in pain and take a feel steps back. His eyes were burning due to the attack and he was temporarily blinded, and that gave Miso the opportunity to land a barrage of punches, elbow strikes and knee strikes on Natto’s face and stomach as he spoke. – That’s why I keep on telling you that you are too weak! You are soft! That was war, asshole! You don’t know anything because you are only part of a squad on the paper! You never actually had to fight on a real war, just those conquering missions! War is cruel and that’s the fun part of it! We are saiyans you maggot! And bloodlust is part of what we are! Dad was soft like you too! That’s why he said such things, but you should already know what we are! That’s part of being the greatest warriors of the universe!!! Hahaha! We feed on our enemies blood! You should stop moaning like a little bitch and start enjoy the marvelous taste of their flesh and soul!!! – Miso said with a sadistic tone on his voice.

The worst part of it all was that Natto knew it to be true. Zucceta also mentioned that she loved that sort of fighting. Saiyans were savages in battle. They would often rip their foes apart and even go as far as to eat them alive, and that was something Natto couldn’t get himself to do, and that he liked to think that it was just motivated by deep rage, but he wasn’t a kid anymore, he knew that the saiyans weren’t all that good as his father made him believe. Don’t get the wrong idea! Natto still thought the saiyans were mostly victims of fate and that some traits of them were enhanced by that, but he was coming to realize that it wasn’t enhanced all that much. His race was fierce and ruthless, much like the Great Ape forms they had. That was pretty much their true nature and he had to come to accept it. – To think that you had the guts to almost defy our queen! You are either stupid or you have like… Five balls! Hahaha! And that just makes me want to beat you even further!!! – he said laughing while he tried to throw a haymaker at Natto’s face, but the young saiyan warrior was ready to react and he grabbed his fist with his left hand before he could manage to hit him and, for the first time since this battle started, he countered, landing a powerful elbow attack on Miso’s face, that only didn’t send him flying because Natto didn’t let go of his hand. Weirdly enough he didn’t bleed and that only motivated him to pull him back towards him and start punching him on the face.

– I! I! I had my reasons!! I’m not like you guys! But that doesn’t mean I’m not loyal to our kind!! I’ve done all of this for us! I’ve became a super saiyan in order to protect my friends and our planet! I was left in charge of this place and, from a hopeless guy I’ve grew with the burden that was placed on my shoulders! I know I was wrong on defying the queen’s ways, but I had too, otherwise I would be forfeiting who I really am! I had to hear from her the reasons of declaring war on the universe! – he said, while he charged a fiery-like blue colored energy on his right fist. He threw the energy punch on Miso’s gut and with that the older and taller saiyan was sent flying towards the wall of the ship, damaging it a bit as he hit it, but nothing really serious. Natto sighed with that since it meant that he would have to spend money again and really quickly to have it repaired before departing, but that was necessary.

The young saiyan warrior used half of his Tyrant Lancer, but that was more than enough to defeat Miso, as his transformation vanished and he growled and moaned on the floor. The intense gravity was making him suffer now that he couldn’t tap into the legendary power and to realize it made Natto sprint towards the control panel, turning it off. The gravity lowered from the 130G to 1G and that made Miso sigh in relief. Then, Natto approached his defeated brother and crouched beside him. – You alright? – he asked with some concern on his voice. Miso laughed a bit and then moaned again, due to the pain on his ribcage that had been broken. He nodded and then Natto took him on his arms. The older saiyan spoke again. – Still seems like I’m a way behind you, little maggot… but I’m proud you had the guts! It was something pretty stupid to do… But you had the courage… Just… Just don’t do anything as stupid as that again… Or you may die for sure… And… And the only person who can fucking kill you for being an annoying pest is… me! Hahahaha! – he said laughing before fainting on his younger brother’s arms. Natto sighed and then a subtle smile appeared on his face as he understood the whole point of that: Miso was concerned with him, and that touched him profoundly, going as far as to make him cry a little bit. ”Thank you brother… You… You really care about me now, don’t you? And you really had been training hard this past weeks, haven’t you? To achieve the state of super saiyan too… That was incredible! You are really strong brother… But, even still, I can’t let you come to Earth with us… I’m still not sure we will definitely win… I don’t know what is expecting us there… But I know of at least three powerful enemies to be defeated… And two of them are even stronger than me…” he thought to himself, as he walked towards the exit of his spaceship. ”I will make sure they take a while to heal you so you don’t do anything foolish… So… Forgive me for that…” Natto held Miso so tightly that he broke both of his arms. The older saiyan woke up with that, but as he did that, screaming, Natto hit him hard with a pound to the back of his head, making him black out again. Now it would take about a week for him to fully heal, since all of the most advanced healing pods were being reserved to the spaceships that were goint to Earth.

It pained Natto to do that, but it was necessary. If everything went wrong, at least his elder brother would still be alive, and that would give him some peace of mind. With that, the young saiyan warrior flared his ghostly-white ki aura and flew straight into a low class healing facility, where the healing would be good but not fast. Miso was now completely out of the war and Natto had one less person to be concerned with during the fights. He wished he could do the same thing to Aspa and Tomoroko, but they would never forgive him for that. ”And, unlike Miso, they are part of my squad! We are on this together!!” he thought to himself.
