[Thread Power Level: 328.480] ”Gheez… That was some tense talk with Kyuri back there!” he sighed heavily as he left the storage room, leaving Tomoroko’s mother behind. With the back of his hand, Natto wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, closing his eyes for a while. ”I mean… I understand her concern and stuff, but she should’ve known me well by know… But I guess that’s what a family is… I’m just no used to be taken care of like that and stuff… I wonder how I will feel when I have my own kids… I don’t think I could do it like Toma and Ninjin and leave them out at such a young age! It seems fun and stuff, but, still… It’s dangerous and I believe I would like to make sure they grew well enough and past their third year of age before taking them out of the incubator… Also… She mentioned that she lost most of her power due to holding them inside her body. I don’t want that happening to Tomoroko! I know how hard she fought to reach such a power, and we still have a big road ahead of us!” he thought to himself, opening his eyes and walking back towards the central area of the Star Javelin, where his training hub with the gravity chamber was located.
As soon as he got inside, he reached the control panel and pressed the button, increasing the gravity from 1G all the way up to 80G. That amount of gravitational pressure was already familiar to his body, and didn’t bother it much. It was still annoying to some extent, but he could fully train under such tremendous gravity without the need of transforming into his Super Saiyan form, and that was the proof that he was getting really mature on his gravity training. He smiled with pride as he realized that and walked towards the intercom near one of the doors that led to the training hub, where he pressed the button to send a message to Tomoroko.
”Hey, you lazy girl! Time to get up and train! I already set the gravity to eighty times Earth’s gravity, so be careful when you step inside, okay?! Don’t take too long! I’m getting all fired up for this training session! Hehehe! Over!”
And, as soon as he released the button, Natto started stretching his body, followed by a little warm-up session consisting of sprinting across the hub, crunches and push-ups while he waited for Tomoroko to arrive. Word Count: 417 Tomoroko |

Tomo stirred in the soft, warm bed, bringing natto's pillow over her face as his voice seemed to suddenly boom over the intercom in an attempt to wake her up. She simply grunted as she curled up into a tighter ball ball for a moment. A large yawn escaped the young girls lips as she took her time stretching under the sheets. She moved one hand to scratch as a nasty itch on her backside and smiled softly as she felt the familiar fuzz that once coated her lengthy tail. She knew she still had some of her tail still remaining after the original incident, but lately it just seemed to grow longer and longer with each passing day. She would continue to keep it a secret for as long as she could, hopefully until it was back to 100%.
With a happy thought now in her mind, she pushed the pillow aside and sluggishly stepped out of bed, reaching for the same set of under armor she had worn before and slipping into them. She might as well finish her stinky training in the same stinky clothes. She could wash them later and rejoice in having some semblance of a decent training outfit. She made sure to tuck her tail away, doing her best to keep it, or any evidence of it hidden away from sight.
With that done, she stepped out of the room, making her way back towards the gravity chamber. When she reached the door, she tried to rub the last remnants of sleep from her eyes as she pushed the button to have it open and carefully stepped inside. Instantly, she was assaulted by the added gravity, and Tomo let a huff escape her lips as she clung to the side of the wall to make sure she didn't fall flat on her ass once more. She fueled ki into her legs and throughout her whole body as Aspa had shown her to give herself better control of her body in the increased gravity.
"I forgot you said it was already on... you could of waited..."
She whined sheepishly as another yawn escaped her lips before she tried to push herself back up so that she was standing straight.

Took Tomoroko a while to get to the training hub after Natto sent the message over the intercom and that bugged him a little bit, but he shrugged and got back into his training. Natto had already done plenty of exercises and was already quite sweaty, even though he was already used to that gravity, when Tomoroko finally arrived. When he heard the automatic door opening, he immediately stared towards it, only to see the young saiyaness clung to the side of the wall, showing that she wasn’t ready for that gravity. Natto sighed and got back up, staring at her.
His expression was somehow disappointed, since he didn’t like to see her getting inside like that, with her guard lowered and with that tired expression; he wanted her with fiery determination inside her eyes and ready to train like crazy, but he couldn’t demand all that much… He was a training junkie, after all. But he couldn’t just be quite when she actually whined about it, yawning. He clenched his fists and approached a couple steps. – You are slacking off! Throw this laziness aside and get ready to train! You had an hour to rest. That’s more than enough! We still need to conquer this gravity and learn how to sense ki energy! – he said in a rather stern tone.
– Here, take it! And you should better transform! I want you getting used to this transformation and mastering it before the end of this next week! – Natto threw a piece of clean black cloth, very similar to the one he used on the previous training session. It was obvious that he wanted her to blindfold herself, in order to restrict her sight, forcing her to develop the necessary skill to sense energy signatures. It wasn’t going to be easy, but since she had already mastered the ki suppression skill, the first step was already done. Word count: 322 |

As Tomoroko stood back up straight finally she huffed, and even went as far as sticking her tongue out towards the older saiyan as she swiped the blindfold that he had offered her. Could Natto really blame her for being so tired? She was always training, or working... She had spent quite a few nights in the rejuvenation tank after tough training sessions and her body was simply really starting to feel the effects of the exhaustion, regardless of how well the tank worked to replenish her energy.
'Gravity training isn't the easiest you know...'
She thought to herself in mild annoyance at his words as she brought the blindfold over her eyes and tied it tightly behind her head. He was acting like the bossy military commander again and it always bothered her when he treated her that way. She understood her promise to him, that she would continue to get stronger to stay by his side but, she hated being treated like she was so inferior.
"Yes sir~"
She said teasingly as she played along with his attitude, flaring up her ki around her into a hard push towards her super saiyan transformation. It was as easy as lighting a candle this time. One moment she looked like your average saiyan, and boom, the next she was bathed in golden light, her hair spiking up high above her head while her teal eyes remained covered by the blindfold.
'Really... it's not like I ever slack off... I've worked my ass off getting here... tch...'
Now that the anger was flooding into her mind again, it was a lot easier for her to grow angry with him for treating her like such a slacker. She huffed again as she crossed her arms, already finding 80x gravity easier to bear now that she was in her super saiyan form.
"How does Ki sensing work anyways? Was I right when I mentioned that feeling I got when you transformed earlier?"
She asked now, a little more serious about the training.

Natto folded his arms as Tomoroko blindfolded herself. As soon as she did that, he managed to crack a grin. He was playing tough because he wanted to throw her off her self-control, and it was working quite well; controlling one’s ki energy when mad was hard, but if you can accomplish that, having the same control when calm is much easier.
– Yes, it is related to that. You have to focus on expanding your senses. You can already feel your inner energy, that’s why you can suppress it. But now you have to be able to feel it around you… To feel the same burning power that lingers within other creatures. It’s not that easy, but when you manage to do it, you will be able to measure the power of a person with your intuition alone and… - he paused. – When you get really used to it, you will be able to even recognize the energy signature and that will help you determine who’s the owner of that power you are feeling. – he finished, and then took a deep breath.
Natto didn’t suppress his power level, in order to help her feeling him and, after a couple seconds, he fired a simple ki blast aiming at her stomach. He wondered if she would be able to react to it at all after his explanation. ”I bet she won’t…” he thought. Word Count: 236 |

Tomoroko nodded, still seeming lazy as she listened to his explanation. The only indication to her finally paying any attention to the lesson, as well as the gravity, was the fact that the young girl clenched her fists tightly. She took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes, even though she was already blindfolded. She payed close attention to Natto's voice, as that was her first indicator as to where he was, then attempted to focus on that over-whelming power. However, since he wasn't currently transformed into a super saiyan it was a lot harder for her to sense him.
'Just like feeling out my own ki hunh...'
She thought to herself, bringing up her right arm as if she would look it over. She focused her golden aura into the limp as if she was charging up her Atomic strike, then dissipated the energy again, testing it. She was able to feel the flow of ki move into that specific part of her body, now all she had to do was extend it passed her own physical limitations and...
"What is..."
She paused as a sense of dread washed over her as Natto's ki blast approached her. However, by the time she had been able to feel that sense, she was barely able to do more than seize up her muscles as the ki blast exploded against her stomach, causing the young girl to wince and grit her teeth.
"Ow... What the hell was that for!?"
She growled, her head shifting to 'look' in Natto's direction. She knew that he was testing her, however the ever angry part of her was pissed that he had hit her.

The young super saiyaness was caught by surprise by Natto’s ki blast that hit her right on her stomach, making her grit her teeth in anger. Natto didn’t expect anything better than that in reality, since she would still need to attain a greater focus and concentration in order to start tapping into such mastery over herself. Tomoroko also got angry and, in response, Natto chuckled in a quite mischievous way.
– What was that for? What sort of lame super saiyan are you?! Getting hit by a simple saiyan warrior, who have yet to tap into the legendary golden transformation! Hahaha! – the chuckle became a teasing laughter. – Come on! Don’t disappoint me like that! You get all angry and you won’t feel anything at all! But let me make things a little easier for you… But I warn you… Although it will get easy, it will hurt way more if hits! – he warned her and then started to focus his ki energy on his left hand. ”Now… Let’s try adding some property! Never actually tried this before... Hope it works!!” he thought to himself, feeling rather excited with his new idea for a technique he had been thinking for a while.
Then, by creating sparks and concentrating the oxygen around his palm, the yellow fiery energy that engulfed his hand became pure crimson flames. Natto smiled in pride when he managed to create the fire and stared back at Tomoroko.
”Great! I did it! Now, for the name…” his cocky smirk widened as he threw his hand forward launching a powerful flame wave towards Tomoroko, once again aiming at her stomach. – Heat Phalanx! – he shouted as he fired the attack, that scratched through the air, heading towards its target. This time she could at least feel the heat of the technique approaching. Word Count: 310 Learned Heat Phalanx [V2] Tech PL: 108.398 |

"...lame? You are such a jerk. Don't treat me like an idiot."
Tomoroko growled as she rubbed her stomach where she was hit. She huffed angrily before attempting to concentrate on her ki again, getting a feel for it before reaching out to sense Natto's. Again, she could feel that slight sense of dread building up inside of her as Natto charged up his next attack. Only as he got an attack ready did she really get any sense of energy coming from him which she found odd.
He was right about it being much easier this time, as she could literally feel the heat from his attack as it approached her. This time though, she was ready for it. As the attack drew ever closer, it would look like the flames would collide with her for a second before her body vanished from it's spot, re-appearing behind Natto. Being unable to see, she appeared much further behind than she intended, so whenever she went to kick at where she thought he was, Natto would of had plenty of time to avoid her hit. She could still only barely feel Natto's ki, but had been able to pinpoint where his was due to his voice and the origin of his attack, having been able to at least sense that.

The Heat Phalanx was way more predictable than any other technique Natto could use, and it was a little tiring to use it, since he had to focus on both ki manipulation and converting his ki into an element of nature. He took a deep breath shortly after firing the flame wave, only to see Tomoroko vanishing, which surprised him. He didn’t expect her to manage to dodge so efficiently already, but he was sort of used to the young saiyaness surprising him in a good way.
”She actually did it, but I can’t lose my focus right now! She is overly pissed! Haha! This is not gonna be just some cheap dodge!” he thought to himself, cracking an excited smirk on the corner of his mouth. Natto turned around in time to see Tomoroko reappearing behind him.
She wasn’t nearby and that gave him enough time to dodge her attack. It was a dangerous attack, since she was much stronger than his base form right now, but he wouldn’t let she have it right now. Natto dodged the minimum necessary for her kick to graze by his chest as he spun his hips to his left side and, immediately after that he clenched his left fist, raising his elbow and aiming towards Tomoroko’s face. He was silent while doing that and he intended to use both her body movement and his own in order to increase the damage output.
Still, it wouldn’t be much more than an annoying pain, since the difference in power levels was quite considerable, but it would probably still irritates her. If the maneauver succeeded, he would laugh a little bit, somersaulting backwards and, upon landing back on the floor, he would tease her again.
– Hahaha! Lame super saiyan indeed! Can’t feel me, can’t hit me! What’s the advantage of being both stronger and faster?! Hahaha! – he said in a teasing tone, chuckling afterwards as he fell back into his fighting stance. Word Count: 331 |

'I'm too far away... shit... this stupid blindfold is pissing me off...'
She thought to herself angrily, screwing her eyes shut tighter as if it would help her concentrate on Natto's ki so that she could feel what he would do next. Everything happened so fast between them however, her heel just barely scrapping against his chest before she felt him get closer to her. As he brought his elbow up to her face she swung her fist forward to hit whatever part of Natto she could. This ki sensing thing was proving to be extremely difficult for her... something she realized rather quickly at his elbow connected with her chin, causing her to stumble backwards some and raise her free hand to rub the spot he had hit.
If she hadn't been angry before, she was definitely pissed off after his little speech. She knew he was trying to get under her skin, and frankly, it was working like a charm. She grit her teeth and gave an angry cry as her golden aura flared up around her body again, raging like the flames Natto had thrown at her moments before.
"Shut up, shut up, shut up! You're making this impossible! ARG"
She shouted angrily, her power spiking to it's maximum before she took off from her spot to attack Natto who was waiting for her. She could still only faintly feel him, however the angrier she got, the clearer her target became in her mind. She wanted to hit him and she wanted it to hurt, she wanted to prove to him that she wasn't lame, that her super saiyan power was as strong as any other! if not better!
She felt his presence much more clearly all of a sudden, and bolted it directly towards Natto, her fist aimed towards his chest. As she got closer to him, she would also get ready to turn into a spin kick if Natto attempted to dodge her, following the movements of his ki.

His elbow strike connected and although it didn’t cause much damage, it was enough to piss her off even further, and that made him chuckle. Tomoroko stumbled backwards and rubbed her chin. – Itchy, right?! – he teased her even more. Tomoroko grit her teeth and that made him laugh as he knew that if she managed to hit him, it would hurt like hell. The young super saiyaness told him to shut up, saying that he was making the ki sensing training impossible, but he just shrugged. – If you can’t handle this little pressure, you won’t ever be able to use energy sensing in a real battle, girl! – and he was quit emphatic on the world “girl”.
Then she charged at him with her full speed and that was almost overwhelming as things were. ”Hahaha! This is bad!” he thought to himself, as he tried to get some sort of control over the situation. In a blink of an eye she was already there, throwing a punch towards his face. Natto gathered all of his available strength and the moment the attack was about to connect, he left his afterimage technique that was just barely able to save him from some severe damage.
Natto reappeared behind Tomoroko, but not very close. The use of his technique cost him quite a lot of stamina, and he was panting a little bit; he would need some time to fully recover. ”Fighting against a super saiyan… Even blindfolded… It’s hard! But hey… I’m handling it more or less, right?!” he thought to himself, feeling quite proud of this accomplishment.
– Slow! Super Saiyanslow! Hahaha! – he teased her again, before getting back into his fighting stance. He knew she would come at him again and she was getting better at pinpointing his location. Soon enough avoiding her would become impossible, but, for the time being, he would keep on doing his very best. Word Count: 323 |

"Girl? Really? That's not the impression I got last night."
She retorted, her own smirk crossing her face as she fought the desire to just throw energy every which direction to ensure she hit him one way or another. He was right, it was an insane task to try and control her anger while also trying to pinpoint his location through his ki. However, she felt like the angrier she got, the easier it became. Even now, his ki signature was slowly becoming a beacon, one that the girl woman really wanted to punch in.
Tomo finally spun on her heels when Natto's energy seemed to vanish for a moment. It took her a couple of seconds before she could pinpoint it again but then pushed off from her location and charged Natto again, this time fueling Ki into both of her fists as she did so. She would swing her fist forward to hit NAtto in the chest once more, while her left fist stayed by her side, ready to strike out if he attempted to dodge her. If she could follow his ki, she would release the pent up energy into a ki blast towards the new location.

Natto arched both his brows with her comment and, after a brief second of surprise he chuckled. – Nasty girl… I mean, woman! Haha! – he teased her back, cracking a mischievous grin on the corner of his mouth.
”Here she comes!” the young saiyan warrior watched her charging towards him, channeling ki energy into both her fists. ”This is dangerous and she is getting better at finding me! I must be careful!” he said to himself inside his mind, as he waited for the perfect moment to dodge. He knew he would have to move before her attack was thrown, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to dodge at all due to the absurd difference in speed they had now. ”There!” Natto narrowed his eyes as he noticed her body movement ready to attack and that made him flare his ghostly-white ki energy around his body and leap backwards, avoiding the punch by mere inches.
Tomoroko’s fist even grazed by his nose, cutting it a little bit, but he didn’t relax. Quite the opposite! Natto arched both his brows as he saw the next attack coming: a ki blast! There was absolutely no way he could avoid it now and, therefore, he just crossed his arms in front of his chest and doubled his body to reduce to enhance his defense. The ki blast hit him right on the mark and he screamed in pain. – Argh!!! –. The young saiyan warrior plummeted to the ground, with countless injuries on his body, especially on his arms.
The attack of a super saiyan against his base form was too much, but he was resilient, and he wasn’t defeated yet. – Y-you… h-hit like a… Kid! L-learning with E-etoru?! He… He… He… - he teased her, but it was quite obvious that he was in severe pain due to his tone. Nevertheless, he stood up again, falling back into his fighting stance.
 [Ki Suppression On. Current PL: 150.000]
This time, however, his energy signature dropped more than half. ”Let’s see how you handle a more average energy signature! Although I cannot possibly take another blow!” he reminded himself, nodding.

"I know you're trying to get under my skin... damn it Natto..."
Tomoroko growled softly as, for a brief moment, it felt like Natto's power vanished. No... that wasn't the case, the light she had been able to feel earlier was still there, it had just been dimmed. She clenched her fist tightly as she waited, and listened. He wasn't coming towards her, there was no build up of ki to indicate a ki blast, there was no disturbance in the air to indicate that he was flying. No... he was just standing there.
Perfect. That gave her the opportunity she needed to hone in on the energy signature once more. It was harder, since it was fainter, but she had been able to find it as he hadn't yet moved, and his earlier taunts only made her want to punch him more. If her earlier strike was any indication, she also needed to tone it down when hitting him... as much as she wanted to hurt him right now, she knew she would regret it later.
Slowly, she exhaled before quickly moving from her spot, for a moment almost seeming to disappear completely as she charged towards Natto, her fist aimed squarely for his chest once more, this way he would know, that she knew exactly where she was hitting.

At least she knew he was teasing her on purpose, and it was working to some degree, but finally she was getting a better grip over her own emotions, meaning that she would be able to develop this degree of ki control much better right now. To deal with one’s emotions during a fight is the key towards victory, and he finally understood that and tried to teach Tomoroko in a friendlier environment; to learn in battle is far worse, and can come at a very high price.
Anyway, the young super saiyaness charged towards him again, and he knew that it would most definitely settle the fight if he was hit by her attack, but, once again, he knew he could maybe dodge it if he used all his remaining energy and stamina, and that would show Tomoroko that, even though he was on his base form, he was far from an easy target, and, should that work, he would do his best to suppress his power level, in order to make her job even harder.
When she got close to him, he noticed that the attack would come towards his chest, showing that she knew exactly what she was doing. ”Good job, Tomo! You are mastering it at an amazing speed! You have such talent! Hahaha!” he couldn’t help but to feel proud of his mate, but that only motivated him to try his best in order to make her proud of him too and, when the fist was about to connect, Natto used his Rapid Movement technique to vanish and reappear a couple feet away, on her left side. As soon as he reappeared, he would harvest whatever was left of his strength to fire a single energy blast that was so weak that wouldn’t even harm her, being nothing but a mischievous poke, if it was to hit.
– S-still… S-slow… T-urtlomo! Ha… Ha… Ha… - he teased her again, while dropping his power level even further below.
[Ki Suppression On. Current PL: 10.000]
Now he was done. He had nothing under his sleeves anymore, without resorting to his super saiyan form, that he was adamant on avoiding. The only thing at stake now was Tomoroko’s ability to pin point his location at such low power level, but the odds were in her favor. Word Count: 388 |
