[Power Level: 31,408 + Heavy Weights on = 7852]The voyage had been rather pleasant. Kaito had an enjoyable time with Gnash, Belle and Beryl on board. If you had these people around you, boredom could never reach your spirits. But Kaito had to note his incredibly hard time to tame this new and odd fellow called Zam-Zam. He was literally a huge blob of pink colour, with a big belly and two horn-like shapes sticking out of his head. Although his appearance indicated that he was just a dumb and slow individual, he was quite sly. Because he couldn't get over Kaito calling him a fatty, he'd try at least 20 times during the entire voyage to butcher Kaito down. And he'd always do this when Gnash wasn't around because he did know what it meant if he disobeyed Gnash. The pink blob would always tail Kaito, be it when he was taking a shower, or a nap. Of course, he didn't succeed even once, either because Kaito reacted in time, or Gnash wanted to have a talk with Kaito. The human was forced to promise Zam-Zam that he'd make up for what he called him when they land on Earth. And you just couldn't shake his doubtful stare off, unless you repeated it for several times. Then like a kid in a candy shop, he began to jump around, his belly bouncing up and down and began to sing an awful sounding melody. Kaito just shrugged it off anyway. Kaito was asleep when the ship landed on the Earth's surface. He had three leather strips on his body to tuck him down and not let him fall should the ship's balance be disturbed. Even though Kaito enjoyed his sleep, he didn't get to see the spectacular view of his home planet from an above arc. He went and complained to his friends why didn't they wake him up. They'd simply shrug and walk away. This pissed Kaito off but he couldn't do anything about it. At least, the ship landed safely, and Kaito was waiting furiously for the door to open. As it eventually did, Kaito ran down the ramp as he jumped right on the green grass of the field they had landed on. Kaito's joy to finally breathe Earth's oxygen again was unparalleled. Birds and all kind of wildlife rushed to Kaito as if they had missed him. But in reality, they were just curious about this enormous object which rested there. The human was reminded that Beryl had offered them his special gravity feature in the ship. "Oh yeah. Well then, time to get to training. Earth can wait..." Kaito enthusiastically thought as he stood up from his earlier position and walked inside the ship again. Kaito knew that he had no time to waste around anymore. He now was part of the Galactic Patrol. With this in mind, Kaito realized that he had new and bigger responsibilities. The galaxies' safety was resting on his shoulders. Inspired by the voiceless encouragements of beings scattered around the whole universe, Kaito put his heavy weights on, as a smile broke out on his face. Kaito walked through the corridors silently before he reached the training room. The cracky door opened and Kaito found himself in the middle of a huge, empty room. If he'd look carefully enough, he'd spot a set of technology devices which reflected a faint light on their screens. "That's most likely where the gravity value is determined... But I have no idea at all...!" Kaito looked around puzzled and decided to sit on a chair. "Maybe Belle should know how to use that." Kaito reached his pocket and dragged out a can and sipped on it while hoping that Gnash and Belle wouldn't be late. ----------------------------------------------------------- Gnash , @orangotto , @hannabelle (NOT IN ORDER)

(Thread PL: 100.014 | Heavy Weights ON | PL: 25.003)
Some days ago, the Saiyan had felt something coming from a distance greater than any other but he couldn’t tell what kind of feeling it actually was but he could tell it felt like a power surging far away from the blue marble but it didn’t take long for the feeling to simply disappear out of nowhere. It was quite a curious matter, but as much as Cornatto tried to find the answer, more questions came up. In the end, he just let the matter shrug off, it could have been anything and he had no reason to waste his time; he had to train if he wanted to be stronger.
He sat beneath a tree in the middle of a forest, lying down against the tree’s branch. It was a peaceful day but it was nowhere what the Saiyan was looking for; action. He didn’t want any evil force to strike the planet but at least he would have liked someone to spar with or something like that, at that point he was tempted to just make his way back to the North and check out if the Saiyaness Tomare was nowhere in their cavern. It had been quite a bit since she invited the Saiyan to live with her and he didn’t hesitate a moment to accept her kind offer; training, food and good company were quite tempting after all.
He stood up and let out a sigh in relief, taking a few steps forward and glancing upwards. The sky was as clear as a baby’s face, he took off and turned to face the North but then he turned and widened his eyes, picking up on a familiar energy. “H-huh?!.. I.. know this aura.. Isn’t it.. Gnash’s? Why would he be here? Perhaps.. Namek was not restored at all..” - he thought to himself in mild interest, the Saiyan knew the Namekian quite well.. after all he had saved that green skin of his. Once the two departed ways, Gnash left the planet and took the first travel to Namek but why would he be back on the blue marble once more?
He cracked a smile, even if he didn’t know why Gnash would be on Earth at the moment, nonetheless it was some good news. He respected the green man quite a lot, at the time he was not that strong but he was definitely a brave one; not many would fight a Demon as strong as the one they fought while waiting for a stranger to charge his own technique.
“Heh, let’s see what he’s up to!” - he said to himself, flying away towards the source of the Namekian’s energy.
It didn’t take long for him to arrive nearby a spaceship, but the Namekian was nowhere to be seen in the surroundings. He raised a brow, descending as he stood on the ground firmly. He looked around and called out anyone who could have possibly heard him. “Hey?! Is anyone around here? Gnash?! Are you here?”
The tailless Saiyan waited patiently for someone to show up, folding his arms across his chest which was covered by his blue Gi.

Thread PL: 10,900 | Heavy Weights: 2,725 | Gravity Training 1/2
Earth looked like a paperweight as they made their approach. Already in her weighted clothing, every cell in Hannibelle Lecta Evensong’s body hummed in anticipation at the prospect of going back to where her creation began. Namek, beautiful and alluring and different, didn’t hold a candle to Earth and she felt that every time she came back. Naturally, she already had a meeting set up with her agent and manager for that evening, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t do a bit of training now, right? Their descent took far less time than Belle preferred, the view changing with every passing second. The giant spherical planet of blues and greens and browns sparkled invitingly the Royal Spaceship made its approach, the sun rising on the other side of their destined planet. Far too early for any sane person to be up, Hannibelle never could sleep on a moving vehicle. Used to odd hours and not sleeping, normally this offered little in the way or setbacks and now she just enjoyed the view from the large window in front of the ship. On the bright side of not sleeping, she almost never felt jet-lagged as a result. Belle headed out onto the grassy field Beryl’s ship landed in, turning in a circle to take in the forest on one side and the way the grass seemed to expand forever in the other direction. Dressed casually, for her, a guitar slung over her back she took off. The song she wrote, she needed to fine tune the melody, make sure all the phrases flowed perfectly both inside and outside of the lyrics. From down here, thinking of how the world went from giant mass and slowly came into detail, Belle walked to the side of the ship not facing the trees. Greens became trees and grasses, Blues became oceans and rivers and lakes, browns became mountains and deserts. So on, so forth, they all gave way to the small houses that felt so big from down below. Namek had enough trees, now she wanted to feel green grass beneath her toes and look at the sky now a lighter shade of blue than her skin. Kicking off her shoes, she started stretching, just because she joined the Galactic Patrol and would be training later didn’t mean she could slack in her daily yoga routine. Soft-looking clouds of white dotted the sky here and there but mostly it brightened in shades of blue as the pop star stretched, taking a seat on the dew-covered grass, bare feet brushing the blades gently. Belle went through the familiar poses, feeling her body loosen up after the somewhat tense ride. She strapped in for the worst of it, but being back on solid Earth always eased her deep in her spirit somehow. Space travel never really sang to her but all things considered, as a necessary evil, it couldn’t really be avoided in her line of work. When she finished with the stretches she pulled her old guitar out, the very first electric one she ever bought for herself, along with the small battery operated amp. Plucking at the strings she started organizing the song in her head, pulling out her notebook and making marks that only musicians would understand. Not knowing her new friends well enough yet, she’d decided to let them sleep in. All things considered, not really one for that herself out of necessity, the time alone felt good. When she did get the chance to sleep in on the rare occasion, it didn’t happen mostly because her body didn’t need as much sleep in general as humans did. That, and even when it did require some down time, her literal internal alarm didn’t let her stay inactive too long. While Arynx was more robot than being, according to his blueprints he didn’t even have the right parts, she’d truly been designed to be his opposite in every way. Maybe he needed less sleep than she did, maybe not, but that wasn’t really something she concerned herself with. The here and now was so much more important. As if on cue, her alarm did go off on her datapad and she nearly jumped out of her skin. Sometimes when she really got into the groove of a piece getting knocked out of it could be as jarring as smack in the damn face out of nowhere. Belle almost completely forgot about her agreement to spar in the Gravity Chamber with Kaito and Gnash. Hurriedly she put everything away and took the route back at a light jog and by the time she walked through the open door to see Kaito there, she was only a couple minutes late. “ Hey, sorry,” she said and set her things down on one side of the room. “ Didn’t mean to make you wait…”

[Heavy Weights Equipped -- Thread PL: 71,218 || With weights: 17,804] -------- [Gravity Training 1/2]
________________________________________________________________________________________
Back on Earth. What an odd feeling it was, being back on the blue and green globe he once called home. It looked to be as if he would name it that once more. He’d completed his mission of going to Namek and discovering what his birthplace had to offer. That was pretty much zilch. Almost nothing of value was to be had there. He’d met a few friends, even two that traveled back to Earth with him. He’d met some fellow brethrens that welcomed him with open arms as well. Two Namekians in particular caught his eye; Cordian and Rock. Cordian was the residential blacksmith of a small village located within the Maima Region called Avishta village. He was the one who crafted Gnash the pair of tonfa that he still used to this day with wood from the Kistan Tree, which had proven to keep up with the strongest of Earth metals. The other was Rock, a darker-skinned and tattooed-up Warrior clansmen. He was a former mercenary with two of his brothers and had been despised among most villages for that very reason. Or it could have been because they thought he was a Mazoku clansmen. Gnash never really figured it out.
Oh yeah, and he’d joined the Galactic Patrol; A space-police-like organization that protected the galaxy from anyone who should show it harm. He was inducted into the faction after sparring with its leader, Beryl Roark. A man who carried the strongest level of power Gnash had ever felt in his entire life, at least that he could recall. The two engaged in a combat-oriented test to gauge Gnash’s battle-experience and skill. After a strenuous battle that left both of them with bruises, Gnash had to chock it up as both a loss and a victory. He’d lost to Beryl, but came out with a verbal acceptance into the elite corporation. Not to mention he was accepted alongside his best friend, Kaito, and a cotton-candy looking human-lady named Belle.
Shortly after saying his goodbyes to family that had wished him the best of luck on his journey through the ranks of the Galactic Patrol, the group had come across an intruder on Beryl’s ship; A fat, jiggly pink Majin named Zam-Zam. According to him, he had lost his parents back on Earth, and stumbled upon Beryl’s spaceship. He snuck aboard and proceeded to gobble down any and every piece of food Beryl had in the refrigerator on board. They’d discovered him upon arriving back on the vessel, covered in all sorts of sweets and crumbs and such. Had it not been for Gnash’s heart of gold, both Beryl and Kaito would have left the young Majins back on Namek and would have ended it there. The hooded warrior couldn’t leave the young one behind, and reluctantly invited him to travel with them back to Earth. He promised to the Majin that they would search for his parents, and he acquire guardianship over Zam-Zam until then.
That summed up the story of Gnash as of late. He was back on Earth with a five month old Majin in his care. The duo surfed along the edge of a creek a few miles out from Beryl’s spaceship. He informed the trio that it was to be their Headquarters until instructed otherwise. He also granted them access to a gravity chamber he had installed into the middle of his vessel with which they could use to train.
Gnash knelt down before the rushing stream, dipping his enlarged hands below the surface. It was cold, for sure. Fortunately for him, he was a Namekian. He held a higher tolerance to colder temperatures, much more than other races. He placed one hand over his palm, bending his fingers slightly to form a ‘cup’ formation. He brought the makeshift bowl gushing with crisp H20 to his lips, sucking back the cool liquid with a satisfied grin. “Hahh… It has been a while since I’ve gotten some of this. Damn Zam-Zam.. Turning all of water into milkshakes..” The Namekian muttered briefly to himself, unaware of the Majin listening in right behind his back.
“Ash? Did you call for Zam-Zam?” His bubbly voice pierced Gnash’s elongated ears, jostling his own belly around as he trot up next to his guardian. His slanted eyes gazed down towards Gnash as he bounced around next to him. “Oh.. Uhm, no. You’re fine Zam-Zam. I was having a few words with myself.” Gnash responded, keeping his yellow hues from the Majin’s stare.
“Why would you talk with yourself? Isn’t that very boring..? That’s what you have Zam-Zam here for right? Zam-Zam can keep you company so that you don’t have to talk to yourself Ash!”
Gnash retrieved another pool of liquid, slapping the accumulation against his face. He rubbed his palms up and down along his emerald features, washing away the small regret he’d had since taking on this responsibility. Zam-Zam was like a little kid. He was extremely hard to care for, especially since his hunger was never satiated. He had to keep a constant watch on him to ensure that he didn’t dawdle about and get lost again. He made a promise to watch this little dude, and he was going to keep it, no matter how frustrating Zam-Zam was. The Namekian stood up, standing a good two or three inches taller than Zam-Zam. He was one of the only beings Gnash’d ever met that could rival his height.
“Because it is nice to reflect upon yourself sometimes, Zam-Zam. Help yourself realize your own faults and such.”
“Oh.. Really? Well then! Zam-Zam, why does Zam-Zam eat so much? Oh, because Zam-Zam is hungry! You’re right Zam-Zam, Zam-Zam is hungry!”
To most, it have have seemed as if the Majin was mocking Gnash. That couldn’t be any further from the truth. Because of his established parental-figure over the young Majin, Zam-Zam literally took every word Gnash spewed between his luscious petals seriously. He took it to heart, and utilized Gnash’s advice in his everyday life. During the flight there, Gnash and Kaito had been joking around, and Gnash used the phrase “When pigs fly, I’ll believe it.” He went on to inform Belle, Kaito and Gnash that he would find one of these things and make it fly so that Gnash could believe what Kaito was saying.
“Zam-Zam... Let’s go. I’ve got a training mission I need to attend, and I would rather not be late.” Gnash’s surged a cloud of white energy around his seven-foot eight-inch frame, pushing himself into the air. Zam-Zam nodded his head with a bright smile and followed his keeper into flight. “Can Zam-Zam eat at Beryl Roll’s ship? Zam-Zam promises he won’t eat it all again! Just.. Just most of it! Pwease!”
The unorthodox duo touched down right in front of the massive spaceship. A huge smile grew across both of their faces at almost exactly the same time. Zam-Zam was happy that he’d be able to eat again, and Gnash was happy that both Belle and Kaito actually showed up to participate. He was excited to take part in gravity training. He’d never experienced being in a gravity chamber before. He had to imagine that it was somewhat similar to the weights he sported on his hulking frame. He took a few steps forward, pressing his feet against each of the metal steps that lead him inside of the ship. He stopped near the top step as he heard footsteps follow behind him. “Zam-Zam, you can’t come. Not inside of the gravity chamber, anyways.”
“B-.. But where will Zam-Zam go?”
“Mmnfg… You can go into the kitchen. Eat whatever you want. I’ll.. I’ll go grocery shopping.”
“Yay!”
As Gnash attempted to take another step into the confines of the the Galactic Patrol H.Q. a familiar voice called out his name from behind. He paused, fingers wrapped around the small metal rods that held the staircase into place. He’d had his mind focused upon this gravity training session, to much to notice the humongous power level hovering in the air right behind him. He turned around, only to see Zam-Zam looking up at the sky with his hand planted horizontally against his eyes to shield them from the solar rays. Gnash needed no hands to protect his eyes, as his hood did the job for him. The figure he saw floating in the sky.. Was none other than the human who had saved his life months ago. The one who had told him about his home planet of Namek still existing in the first place. Cornatto!
“Cornatto-san! Hello! It has been such a long time!”
He trotted his way down the steps, pushing his way past Zam-Zam. “Down here, Cornatto-san! I.. You were correct! My home planet of Name still exists. I was able to go there, and meet some of my brethren.” He smiled, joy overtaking his soul as the combined forces of meeting his old friend and reminiscing worked their way through his emerald features. If Cornatto looked close enough at him, he’d notice the symbol for the Galactic Patrol engraved upon the patch that nestled in the middle of his chest. “It’s great seeing you again! Your power level.. Hmm. It seems a little weak. Are you wearing training weights?”
After a few moments, Zam-Zam rolled up next to them, a wide grin across his bubblegum lips. “Hai!” Gnash nearly jumped out of his boots at Zam-Zam’s falsetto. “Oh! Cornatto-san.. This is Zam-Zam. He’s a young Majin that I encountered on Namek. He lost his parents here on Earth.. So I’m watching over him until we find them.” Gnash spoke in a cheerful tone. It was great seeing his pal Cornatto again. “Oh, right.. Drats. I have to cut this a little short. I have some comrades inside of that space-ship waiting for me. We’re going to train in a gravity chamber together.” He gave a firm nod, backing away from the Saiyan and Majin now. “Why don’t you come in and meet them?”

"What am I even doing?"
Kaito had finished drinking the juice and was just sitting there, peering at the rocky mountains from the window. "Ugh... It looks like I should wait for a little while..." Kaito stood up and decided to jog for two or three rounds around the vast training room in circles. Well, this would be a better idea to wait for Gnash and Belle than just sitting in there and daydreaming. At least, he'd be warmed up and ready for the gravity training. Matter of fact, Kaito was very excited for this sparring session. It will be interesting to see what Belle was capable of, and how much better Gnash got. He recalled their brief spar in Riku's spaceship. Back then, Kaito wasn't at this level he was now. The same goes for Gnash. But even then, both the warriors displayed excellent teamwork and skills against the Saiyan of Darkness, who admittedly said that he had some trouble here and there against them. Now, though, it was different. Kaito had made an agreement with Gnash that they would fight each other, and Beryl had given them this chance.
The human jogged for a little more before he began to punch the air and dodge custom obstacles which were present in the training room. Maybe someone had forgotten to put them in their place, but this worked in Kaito's advantage. He kept at this pace for some more minutes before he'd grab a towel and wipe his sweat off. He didn't want to tire himself that much. He will be battling in increased gravity so his movements will be affected greatly, after all. As Kaito sat on the chair he'd sensed Belle's power level getting closer. "Ah, she's here. About time." The blue skinned bio-android entered the room with that changeless face expression with a faint smile. She put her things down in the corner while apologizing for her lateness.
Kaito waved his palm hastily as in that he wasn't mad. "Ah, no, don't sweat it. Actually, I did train by myself a little bit while you were coming here." The human stood up once again and put his towel on the chair. He reached his pocket and grabbed a red tie. His golden locks had been growing some centimeters and Kaito had to put them in their place. They would only be getting in his way during the spar. The human tied his hair in a ponytail and pointed at the technology devices. "I'm actually not very sure how those things work, and I thought that since you are a bio-android, you must have some basic knowledge of how these devices worked. You're actually our last hope too, haha. I and Gnash basically know nothing of these fancy things. Exchanging fists is the only way we can communicate with others." Kaito paused a little bit to clear his throat. "Actually, I'm glad that you are here with us. You've created a sort of a balance between me and Gnash."
Kaito was grateful to Belle. If it wasn't for her, the blondie would have missed the chance of meeting Beryl in Namek. The influence that people have put on Kaito had just been getting stronger, and he was glad for this. They were good influences after all.
"Oh, it seems Gnash is here." The human sensed Gnash's Ki getting more vivid and closer before it would just get faint again. "Huh? This is weird, did he forget something and went to pick it up?" That made things even more awkward. As Kaito would have to break out another conversation topic to Belle, he sensed another power level entering the ship. "What? Did someone infiltrate the ship and Gnash is dealing with them?" Kaito was feeling a little bit guilty. He, of course, rushed forward the exit door, only to see the green alien and another man at the edge of the ingress. The warrior beside Gnash had a solid muscular structure, black eyes and spiky hair. The blue gi-toted Saiyan was drastically shorter than Gnash, who looked a little bit uncomfortable. But it was clear as day that the new guy didn't bear any ill intentions. Maybe he was a friend of Gnash? That would be the first plausible theory Kaito thought of.
"Hey there Gnash. Who's this friendly fellow you got back there?"

The Saiyan glanced around, looking out for anyone in the surroundings but nobody seemed to be showing up, he knew someone was around but he had no idea of who they were and had no reason to sneak into the spaceship; he was looking for Gnash and he had a spaceship like that himself. Even if it was quite curious.. what was a spaceship doing in the middle of nowhere? It could have been someone who was about to depart or perhaps the person actually lived in there, not everyone had a house after all. “Perhaps I was mistaken after all..” - he thought to himself, slightly disappointed by the impression that Gnash was not there.
He was about to take his leave but then he heard a very familiar voice, which was the one he was looking for; Gnash’s. The green man was actually there, much to the Saiyan’s happiness. It was good to meet a friend after so much time. He turned to look at the Namekian, cracking a smile and nodding in acknowledgement.
The two had definitely gone through quite an intense day last time they met, not everyday one would end up against a Demon, whose personality. was questionable. Cornatto didn’t remember it that well, but that Demon truly irritated him too badly. In the end, even if the Saiyan actually defeated the Demon with his power, it was all thanks to Gnash if the two succeeded to strike him down; by distracting him while the Saiyan charged his attack.
Cornatto landed next to him and rose a thumb up in a friendly manner, actually not taking note of Zam-Zam for the moment.
“Haha, that’s good to hear. I was about to doubt it after I sensed your presence on this planet once again. I was thinking to come check out myself and perhaps look for you and say hi but apparently it won’t be necessary, even if I’d like to see this.. Namek some day. Anyway, it's nice to see you again!” - he told him, taking a look at his robes once more as he spoke up. He had taken note of the symbol in the middle of his chest but he had no idea of what it was about and decided to not inquiry on it at all.
“I guess it must have been great for you, to meet your own kind after so long. But I guess it’d be so for everyone.. or at least almost everyone.” - he said, obviously making a comment on his own situation; he was a Saiyan and didn’t really wish to pay the people of Vegeta a visit, even if he had any kind of family there like an uncle or anything like that. He had no bonds with such people but his own blood.
He seemed to space out for a second but then he looked up at Gnash once more, tilting his head slightly before he nodded. “Ah, aye. This is.. a really low portion of my actual power. I am like.. four times stronger than what you can currently sense or something like that. I’ve never been that good with maths. But yes, I’m used to wearing my training weights even while I eat!” - he paused for a brief moment, forcing out a chuckle out of his lips and showing out a confident smirk on his face. “While.. I can sense you’ve also grown stronger than before. I have no idea if you’re suppressing your power or using weighted clothing, but either way that is a good improvement.” - he told him, looking up and down at the tall green man. There was truly some good progress there, he could tell that much.
He chuckled once more, taking note of the Majin as soon as he seemed to have scared Gnash. He placed his hands at his hips and offered him a nod. “Hey, Zam-Zam. It’s nice to meet you.” - he told him before he shifted his gaze at Gnash, raising a brow for a brief moment. Cornatto knew something about having literally no one, not even your parents with you and really thought Gnash was doing the right thing by watching over him; it was really kind of him. “I see.. it’s unfortunate. Still, I’ve met other Majins around here and they are quite fun to hang out with! Quite strong as well.” - he said, smirking subtly.
“Oh.” - he uttered at the mention of Gnash’s appointment, he could understand that he had commitments with his comrades.. whoever they were. He also thought it would have been great for the Namekian to train inside a gravity chamber, the Saiyan had one himself but he didn’t use it for the moment. He nodded shortly after, willing to leave him alone with his partners but apparently Gnash wasn’t planning that.
“U-uh.. well, sure why not. I was thinking of going home and see if the Saiyan I live with was around for a small sparring session. But she’s usually hunting, so I don’t get to see her around at this time.” - he told him, looking towards the spaceship as he took note of someone coming out of the huge transport. He looked at him up and down, he didn’t seem any dangerous to him but he could tell he could pack quite a punch by his aura. “Ah, hey. I guess you’re one of Gnash’s comrades? In any case, I am Cornatto. Nice to meet you.” - he told him, offering a faint smile.

As Kaito told her not to worry, she flashed him another, grateful smile. Tying her own hair in a ponytail, she headed over to the controls he gestured toward, giving them a once over. She could so, totally do this. Her own DNA held Tyler’s who, aside from her own pop idols status back in the day, also doubled as an incredible bio-engineer. The woman also married another bioe-engineer with a background in actual engineering. The assumption about her being a Bio-Android, and therefore automatically knowing how to operate the machine, stumped her just a little but, hey, there were worse things about her floating around out there, she was sure. At his joke about communication through sparring she laughed and said, “Alright, I’ll take a look...see what I can do.”
As he spoke on, she turned to look up at him. Being under five feet, she was a pro at looking up at people and not being intimidated or feeling inferior. In life, Belle got complimented all the time - by adoring fans, by people trying to butter her up to accept their ‘brilliantly scathing idea,’ or just people who thought it was the right thing to say or do at the time. Those who meant it usually didn’t know her well enough for it to count, and normally she handled it like a pro, but at times like this where it was just the two of them she really didn’t know what to say.
Always more of the introvert, she acted like an extrovert and normally was good at it. Having let her guard down over their time on the ship, Belle got used to the other people as much as she could, glad for the seemingly judgement free zone. She helped people all the time, made a difference in lives across the Universe, so why this one took her by surprise was beyond her. Defaulting to the tried and true, she flashed him the real smile, the one she wore when she thought no one was looking and put a hand on his arm, blue skin resting lightly on his own pale flesh. “I’m glad I could help…” Her green eyes met his for a brief moment before she turned back to the machine.
Waving him off after he said Gnash was around, her attention focused on all the dials and settings the contraption offered. Incredible, how involved and advanced it appeared, she didn’t even hear him going about someone else being there. Sometimes, when faced with a puzzle to solve, she tended to get a bit one-tracked with it. And the Gravity Chamber was like a puzzle. All the pieces were there, she just needed to get the corners first...edges would follow, and then fill in all that crazy middle area.
The woman set herself to the task, noticing the button near the door to seal the chamber, taking stock of each dial and knob, button and screen. By the time the boys came in, she intended to have it all sorted and ready to go. At least she wasn’t the only one late, and she hadn’t been that late, right?

Along the small journey towards Beryl’s spaceship, Gnash heard the hint of disappointment slithering its way through Cornatto’s words as he expressed an interest in going to Namek himself just to check it out. He wanted to go look for Gnash and hit him with a greeting, as it had been quite some time since they’d seen each other. Speaking from experience, Gnash had to warn him about the green globe; “I’ll be honest with your Cornatto-san, there was not much there. The grass was blue.. The water was green.. And the trees looked a lot like the vegetables we have here. Hrm… What do we call them? Broccoli? That’s it! The trees are very thin and tall. It uh..” He paused for a brief moment, swallowing a glob of saliva. He hated himself for saying this. Every time he said it, he could feel a sharp, stabbing pain right in the feels. “It’s boring. I have to be honest. It was very uneventful. I managed to meet a few interesting brothers, one that was able to create these for me,” Gnash pointed down towards the blue tonfa strapped to his left thigh. “Other than that, it was monotonous, to put it lightly.”
“Though.. I feel if I would not have traveled there, I would not be in such a righteous position. I am a part of the Galactic Patrol now.” He spoke rather enthusiastically. Zam-Zam walked beside Cornatto, his cheeks blushing a light red. He was nervous to speak with this new stranger. He poked his index fingers together anxiously, occasionally glancing over towards the Saiyan. “The owner is mean.. He jumped when he saw Zam-Zam! He got really red when he found out that Zam-Zam had eaten all of his food..” Gnash stopped in the middle of the hallway, turning back towards the other two in hopes that they would halt their movement as well. Zam-Zam did. “He just gets a scared a little too easily. Anyways.. Yes. It was very nice to finally see.. Family. Despite its insipid nature, meeting my brothers and this,” He threw his yellow hues around the spaceships metal walls. “Makes up for it. It was definitely.. A good vacation. If you’ve ever got time, I guess I could recommend it. For a few weeks.”
He narrowed his golden saucers in on Cornatto’s frame, pinging his mind off of the power level residing within his old friend. It was small, for sure. A lot smaller than it had been the last time they crossed paths. He confirmed this to be because of the training weights that hindered his full power. Right now, he was only at about a fourth of what he would normally be. He even took it a step further, and commented on Gnash’s own power level, how he has gotten much stronger. “Yes, I am also wearing training weights. With them off, I am able to achieve a power level much higher than this. And with this new form I am perfecting.. I can reach into the hundreds of thousands.” He grinned, that new level of strength crossing his emerald crown.
“Believe Zam-Zam when he tells you this.. Ash is strong! He has been training very hard! He even lets Zam-Zam watch sometimes, and teaches Zam-Zam things!” The Majin threw himself into the conversation once more. He was getting a tad more comfortable around Cornatto. Seeing Gnash so elated to speak with his old buddy caused him to open up just a bit more. Gnash piped in with an angry grunt from the side, but thanked his “son” nonetheless. “It’s Gnash… But thank you Zam-Zam. I have to make sure you’re able to defend yourself, just in case you ever get lost again.”
Gnash’s antenna waved around in the air as footsteps clanking against the metal floor rang throughout the corridor behind them. He heard Kaito’s voice enter his ear drums, addressing him about the newcomer. “Oh! Kaito. Hello! I was just on my way to the gravity chamber. My apologies for being late. I had to go and scour the lands for some food. Zam-Zam had gotten hungry again.” When the hooded warrior finished up, Cornatto spoke up and introduced himself. He turned back to Kaito and took it upon himself to do the same for Kaito. “Cornatto-san.. This is Kaito. He’s a good friend of mine. I met him shortly after we departed. He traveled with me to Namek! He was even accepted among the Galactic Patrol, just as I. He’s a good man. Stuck by my side through.. Some rather harsh times.” He lowered his voice, reluctant to talk specifically about the time in which he was depressed, both Belle and Kaito having to give him a pep talk.
He allowed Kaito and Cornatto to converse back and forth for a few moments before bringing up the training session once again; “Is Belle waiting on us? We should really get a move on. I hope we are still up for that spar, Kaito. I’m interested to see the power and skills you’ve obtained since back on Riku’s spaceship.” It was refreshing to think back on the spar that occurred during that time. Kaito and Gnash teamed up together to take on Riku. Despite their minuscule power levels compared to that of the Saiyan of Darkness, they held their own. They even got Riku to admit that they had pinned him in a corner several times.
The yellow-eyed Namekian turned on his heels and made way for the gravity chamber with Zam-Zam hustling along not too far behind. The further he got down the hallway, the more prominent Belle’s ki signature had become. He stopped right in front of the mechanical sliding door that lead into the gravity chamber, turning to face Zam-Zam and the others. “Alrighty Zam-Zam. You go into the kitchen and eat whatever you want. I will come and get you in about an hour. Do not leave the kitchen, do you understand me?” The Majin cheerfully nodded his head, allowing his rotund cheeks to jiggle around. Like a little kid, he broke off from the trio, scampering his way down the corridor towards the kitchen.
He turned to the door and muttered the word ‘Enter’, prompting the door to slide open. He took a step inside of the expansive chamber. It was a vast room with virtually nothing inside of it. It was shaped into a giant circle, only being skewered through the center by a large, cylinder-shaped control panel. Standing before the panel was the cotton-candy lady that had traveled along Kaito, Beryl and Gnash to earth, Belle. Gnash took a few steps towards her, raising his vascular arm into the air for a friendly wave. “Hello Belle!”

As the human entrusted all the complex stuff to Belle, he abruptly rushed outside the chambers once he felt a foreign Ki inside the ship. Kaito ran through the corridors in case that Gnash was in some trouble down there, however, that wasn't the case, from the looks of it. The blue gi-toted Saiyan had a faint smile on his face, but his look in his eyes was very serious and determined. After introducing himself to Kaito, Gnash explained to him a little bit more of how he had met Kaito. The human had a static smile on his face all the time; it looked good with his golden hair and he'd always show off a positive figure like that. Gnash's friends were also Kaito's, and the human didn't hesitate to introduce himself and let him know a thing or two about him.
"Nice to meet you, Cornatto-san. I'm called Kaito and I am Gnash's friend. As he said earlier we've met each other shortly before we departed to Namek. Fate has decided to knock on our door once again and here we are, in the same organization."
The power Kaito felt from Cornatto was obscurely strong. Was he wearing weights too? But still, his weighted power was over the half of Kaito's full potential. Kaito's brown hues flickered up and down to scan the Saiyan's build; it was pretty firm and strong. This gave the human a very broad idea of what Cornatto was capable of, and he wished that he was here to train with them. Kaito was still getting some familiar vibes to him, which he wasn't very sure of what they were. He had some resemblance with his other Saiyan friend Riku in appearance; their strong build and black facial features, but Kaito just flushed this thought away. His eyes focused on his Namekian friend Gnash, who was in very high spirits from the looks of his face. Kaito was very glad to have finally been able to see Gnash like this. He tried not to remember the green alien's gloomy faces back when they were in Namek. But that was a thing of the past and it should be put behind the shoulders. Kaito listened to Gnash before he'd talk.
"Belle is inside the chamber, she arrived few minutes before you guys. She's probably working on those devices to set up the gravity and all. Let's make sure we don't get too far behind in this kind of stuff Gnash, we may need it in the future when no one is with us." Said the blonde haired human. All he knew about technology was how to set up a simple space pod in its coordinates, and that's all. None beyond that. Kaito felt like studying these devices was necessary, seeing how the times are progressing and leaning more and more in the science and technology side. It would sound bad if strong looking guys like Gnash and Kaito would be empty headed. "Anyways, yes. I've honestly not been able to sleep last night. My brain kept producing different scenarios of how our fight will unfold and those thoughts kept me awake." The human explained, his eyes filled with excitement and heat. Kaito turned his brown hues back to Cornatto and cracked a faint smile in a friendly manner. "Why don't you come with us? I guess that's the reason you're here in first place."
Kaito pointed with his index finger to the training room before he guided them. The electronic slide door opened and the trio entered inside the chamber. In matter of seconds, the door was quickly closed and a layer of a thick metal material sealed it from the inside. It seemed like Belle had been doing her job rather properly; Kaito knew he could count on her when it came to these things. "Alright then boys and girls, the chamber's gravity should multiply at any moment now." Said the human, while giving a hand gesture to Belle as a sign that everything was ready to go. Kaito set some distance between himself and the others, they'd need to move for a little bit to get used to the gravity first. The human remained silent, as he eyed the other three with a determined look which meant that he wasn't going to fall back and disappoint, especially to Gnash.

Cornatto was expecting quite a talk about Namek but it didn’t really seem so, apparently even Gnash was disappointed about it and there were definitely a few issues there if even a Namekian was bored of staying there; his own homeworld. But the Saiyan didn’t really have much to say about that, after all it isn’t like he would enjoy a vacation on Vegeta.. quite the opposite, and he was a pure-blood Saiyan. He’d even get to steal a spaceship just to get off that rocky planet. Even if he was quite curious of what the green man told him, blue grass and green water? “Heh. Yeah, I guess it isn’t that much to look at. But I guess it could have been worse, by what we knew the planet could as well have been still a bunch of rocks in the middle of space.” - he told him, nodding shortly after.
The Saiyan really had no idea of what this Galactic Patrol is, but he had nothing to complain of as long as the Namekian was happy, still he was somewhat curious. “What is this entire Galactic Patrol thing about anyway?” - he asked out of curiosity before looking at Zam-Zam once more. He let out a chuckle, offering him a nod. The Majin was rather childish but the way he spoke was quite fun. “Right, but hey.. you’d tell Gnash how important is for someone to eat, or am I wrong? Hehe. Unfortunately I refrain myself from eating everything myself, you’d rather not argue with a Saiyan woman.” - he said, cracking a smirk.
“That aside, I doubt I’d go there for a vacation to be honest. I don’t like boring places.” - he said. If the Saiyan really had to pick a place for a vacation, he knew he’d pick somewhere he could fight the entire time. He had nothing to do with Namek if it really was that uneventful.
He looked at Gnash once more with an amazed expression, he grinned and nodded. It was quite amazing of how much the Namekian had improved if he really spoke the truth, he could remember how weak he was, but if he could truly reach such power even the Saiyan would have had an issue with fighting him. “Huh, you’re quite lucky. I can’t really take advantage of any other form but my base one after I lost my tail, but I’d rather stay like this than becoming a giant and clueless monkey.” - he told him, but in that moment he was actually clueless of the truth; Gnash didn’t really know of Cornatto’s true identity, but he ignored that. One would expect to realize that from his own name after all.
Back to Kaito, the man seemed like a really good person to hang out with or at least by what Gnash had just told him. He could feel a good amount of power coming from within him, which was rather curious.. he was probably the strongest Human he met in his time on Earth aside from Kami-sama. “Nice to meet you, Kaito. Well, I didn’t really come here for training.. more like saying hi to Gnash but I’m more than willing to spar with you guys.” - he told him, offering a confident smirk.
He stepped inside the gravity chamber, it was definitely similar to his own by what he could see in that room. Not like such chambers needed anything else but the gravity device after all, even if he was not used to take advantage of his own, he was more inclined to train outside in the North or wherever. He shifted his gaze at the stranger who was apparently working on the device, he didn’t approach her but folded his arms, raising his hand into the air in greeting. “Hello there!”

The sound of voices pervaded the hall leading up to the closed doorway. It wasn’t soundproof, but it did muffle them, not that that really mattered to the Bio-Android. More than one hundred percent certain she figured out this shiny, new contraption, she now fiddled with some of the dials to see the different options it offered, if any. At the sound of the door opening she turned to face the boys and realized they’d brought along a plus one. Perfectly fine, and she waved at all of them as they said hello. Not one to waste time, once everyone was inside she sealed the room and with the push of another button the Gravity Chamber whirred to life. Hannibelle Evensong, pop idol and everyone’s ‘sweetheart,’ was also a damned genius sometimes.
The newcomer she took a second look at, just taking his measure, and then addressed all of them. “Hey, I’m Belle,” she said for the new guy’s benefit. “So, what’ll it be? We could probably just train, or run some kind of simulation...this thing’s pretty neat.” Large enough for an even bigger group to spar comfortably, the chamber dragged her down and if she weren’t leaning on the pillar in the center, she’d definitely have made better friends with the floor. For now, until she moved, she’d be fine while they figured out their next steps.
To look at them all, they really seemed an oddly assorted bunch. A Namekian, a Human, a Saiyan and a Bio-Android walk into a gravity chamber - really sounded like the start of a bad joke. On the flipside, it was nice that they all got along despite of these core differences between them. A feeling of unity, of strength and safety in numbers, and the all encompassing acceptance in the room made her feel...at home. Home, an altogether unfamiliar feeling with all the time she spent on a ship or in a hotel.

“I agree completely. I’ve seen some of these giant monkeys you speak of. Back during the Saiyan invasion on Earth.. There were quite a bit of them lurking throughout the cities. I didn’t have enough power to stop them back then.. They were mindlessly destroying cities. Killing innocent people.” Gnash jabbed his pearly white fangs into the tongue that resided within his mouth, keeping himself from ranting on any further. Of course he regretted his own weakness, especially back then. He had to watch millions of innocent people pass on due to the rampaging Saiyans that plagued their home. He’d gone over this several times in his head since that unfortunate day. He’d been told several times not to harp on something he had no power to effect. “They’re monstrous. Should it happen again..” Gnash clenched his fist, yellow hues locking onto the power that resonated within his hand. “I’ll be there to make a difference.”
After making his statement, the Namekian attempted to swiftly change the subject. “Oh, the Galactic Patrol? It is a police-force type of organization that keeps watch over the galaxy. We protect it from anyone who wishes to do it harm. If I recall correctly.. We’re a bit low on members right now. Back on Namek.. The leader, Beryl Roarke.. He arrived to help my people. There was a war waging on my home. I even heard that the battle completely destroyed Moori Capitol. That is besides the point, though. My point is.. Beryl Roarke arrived and allowed survivors to seek refuge from the battle. He saved more people than I could have ever hoped. So when he told me about this whole faction, this Galactic Patrol, and informed me of the actions they carried out. The beliefs that they had, well I got really excited. When he even asked ME to join, I couldn’t pass it up. The chance to not only save my people, but also keep watch over the galaxy, it is quite the honor.”
Gnash glanced down at the galactic patrol symbol plastered onto his chest. He was proud that he’d made the right choice, though he would never had made it had it not been for the Namekian Cordian.
Entering the Gravity chamber with his two friends, they were greeted by the lovely cotton-candy lady, Belle. She was presumably a human who had traveled with them from Namek, back to Earth. She had gotten acceptance into the Galactic Patrol, just as both Kaito and Gnash had. She lacked in pure, raw strength. But what she lacked in power, she more than made up for in her battle strategies and keen intellect. She would much sooner find a much more crafty way to bring an enemy down than to just bash their face in like both Kaito and Gnash would attempt to do. It brought a nice balance into the Galactic Patrol. She was also a great pep talker, too. Whenever the hooded warrior had felt a hint of regret about leaving his own people behind without a defender, she brought his spirits back up to par with the rest of them. She could also sing well!
Gnash sauntered his way into the expansive chamber, throwing the hood back on his cloak. It was all pretty bland. Just white-paneled walls crafted out of what Gnash perceived to be metal. Everything was just extremely bright. A little too bright for his eyes, but there wasn’t anything he could do about it. They needed this more than he needed a perfect space to see. If he wanted to reach the Elite status of the Galactic Patrol and obtain enough power to run with the big dog himself, aka Beryl Roarke, aka the leader of the this faction, he had to train his ass off. The weights were starting to wear off, day-by-day. He figured the stronger he got, the less these weights would have an effect on him. Eventually, they’d become completely useless. The only way to push himself past his limits after that happened was gravity training.
He looked over towards Belle, hands being suctioned to his broad hips. “Have you managed to figure out how to work the mechanism yet? I sincerely hope that you have. If even Belle cannot figure it out.. Then I fear we’re going to call the leader himself. I would imagine he is quite busy.” Gnash gave a soft chuckle. He was about ninety-percent sure Belle would, or already has assessed the mechanics for this gravity chamber. If she hadn’t, they were screwed. Kaito and Gnash were about as helpful in this department as a sack of rocks would be. Cornatto might know, though he was quite the meathead alongside the other two.
The Namekian may have spoken too soon. As soon as he took another step, he could feel the weight suddenly increasing around his body. He was brought down to one knee for a second or two before struggling to raise himself back up. Apparently, Belle had already figured it out, and she turned it on without so much as a blink. As he stood, arms forcefully hanging at his sides, Gnash admitted to himself that this wasn’t as tough as he initially thought it would be. He figured he would have face-planted against the floor already. “This isn’t as tough as I had expected.. Maybe it is because she placed the machine on its lowest setting.. This still halts some of my cogs. I cannot even imagine what a level higher than this would feel like.. Is this what it takes to be strong?”
He contemplated that question with the ferocity of a clawing tiger. Pushing yourself past your limits, undergoing arduous gravity training. This is what it took to become as strong as their leader. Though, Beryl’s power did make him feel insignificant. He’d managed to acquire all of that without the use of ki. He was a fine specimen, an excellent warrior. He was a man Gnash could look up to and strive to surpass. Like that would ever happen, but it was a goal that he could set for himself.

The human assumed his battle stance. Unlike his usual posture, the blondie simply charged his arms forward, clenched in a fist. His eyes, instead of being directed at one of three people in there, were directed above. The human was literally staring at the invisible air. "I will need to deal with this "opponent" first, and then get back to Gnash..." The blondie supposed as he cracked a giggle. This invisible opponent Kaito was referring to, was the increased pressure put against him. It looked like Belle had succeeded and thus, the gravity mode was on. The abrupt force quickly ran through Kaito's body, compelling him to prop his hands against the white tiled floor as he dropped on one of his knees. He lowered his neck and his golden locks covered most of his face. The human remained quiet. His body struggled and started vibrating as he began to go against the gravity's will; Kaito was slowly regaining his normal posture. Blobs of sweat dripped over his face, eventually splashing against the white tiled floor.
The enhanced gravity weight rubbed off the harsh way on Kaito in the beginning. To be blunt it wasn't that much of trouble. The whole problem is when it strikes you all of sudden like that, but the average warrior would quickly adapt in. To put in simple terms, it had the heavy weight clothing nature, aside the obviously stronger pressure and the fact that it affected the whole environment. Kaito was doing pretty good, considering his weighted clothes were on too. "So this is the first step..." The human thought, effortlessly tilting his torso from side to side. "I could only imagine the hardships I will go through as I climb the gravity "ladder". His brown hues quickly scanned; it looked like he needn't worry about the other three. Hell, they might have even been able to get on their feet faster than Kaito.
"Whew, nice enough." He spoke softly. The human moved his right arm in a circular motion, mimicking a helicopter's rotor, except he couldn't generate the sound. Kaito hurled his left fist in the form of a jab, slicing through the air with a potent strike, to only follow up with a back flip and land few meters from his former position. If you'd grasp Kaito's manoeuvres carefully, you'd notice that he lacked in speed. The human was still getting used to moving in these conditions, and the best way to do that was to do some basic training first.
Kaito bounced three times and jogged around the chamber. His limbs clashed against the pressure though his difficulty in running only decreased as he put more steps ahead. He kept his pace on for several rounds and decided to catch his breath. Kaito's scruffy golden strands only got in his way, so he stopped to adjust his reddish headband. He cracked a giggle when he'd reminisce about some sequences of the past, before addressing himself to Gnash. "This sure brings me back, Gnash! I still remember it like it was yesterday, that little spar among us and Riku. This time, though, we'll no longer be on the same team again." He challenged the Namekian, grabbing a firm hold of his sparring gloves. The human started jumping against the walls, propelling himself from one side to another as he performed acrobatic moves in the air. Kaito somersaulted once more and landed on his palms before he started doing some vertical push-ups, alternating his arms. After landing on feet again, Kaito delivered a powerful strike with his heel, which produced air currents across the chamber.
The human narrowed his eyes whilst exhaling furiously. He needed to fill his lungs with as much oxygen as possible, which luckily for him wouldn't run out anytime soon considering the size of the training room. That was more than enough for a warm-up. The main event was the promised spar between Kaito and Gnash, the duo who started from the scratch and becoming warriors that shouldn't be taken lightly of. The human was actually very interested in knowing what kind of new skills Gnash had learnt over his time on Namek. The first performance of Hyperion Buster in Riku's ship was enough for Kaito to realize that Gnash wasn't your everyday Namekian. The guy easily stood out from the rest in every aspect. Kaito recalled the first moment when he sensed a much stronger aura and power level coming from the Namekian, which made him wonder what training did he actually go under. The human obviously trained every day on Namek, but it seemingly wasn't sufficient for him to close the gap between the duo. Kaito was almost certain that Gnash would be the one to win this match, but this only increased the thrill.
Smiling upon his best friend, Kaito's boots tapped against the white tiled floor as he came in a short range distance. "It's about to happen, Gnash. Just promise me one thing..." Kaito's tone got serious all of sudden. "...that you won't hold back even one small portion of your power. Bring it all out, I want to try my skills out against you."
The human's clenched fist tamped on his open palm as he stood straight. He swallowed a glob of saliva down his throat and eyed Gnash once again. "I wish you wouldn't underest-" Interrupted by a beeping noise, Kaito shifted his vision to the lit screen of the computers. On the white background, it showed a title and a small description, with a countdown timer beside it. "O-Oh... God damn it...!"
With a disappointed expression, Kaito put his palm against his forehead. "Gnash... I actually... Beryl actually assigned me a simple task to take care of before coming here... My carefree personality just made me forget it, all right." Kaito grimaced at what Beryl's reaction would be when a patrolman failed to finish his job. The human shrugged while scratching the back of his head, inquiring an apology from his Namekian friend. He only hoped that he wasn't too underwhelmed from this sudden twist, after waving goodbye to Gnash, Belle, and the newly arrived Saiyan. The human guiltily exited the gravity chamber in low spirits.

Cornatto couldn’t be more in agreement with the Namekian’s words, he knew what he felt quite well even if it was probably worse for Gnash. The latter one probably considered Earth as an actual home since he was a child, yet the Saiyan did the same even if he was quite confused at the time and had no real power to even assist the planet’s forces in the fight against the Empire. “Eh, I guess you are right.. they are monsters. Literally, from a certain point of view. You know.. giant monkeys?” - he said, forcing a faint chuckle out of his lips. He looked at him with his wide open, smiling slightly in response to his last statement. “That’s the spirit.” - he told him.
He listened to him curiously as he spoke of the Galactic Patrol, watching over the Galaxy surely sounded like a big deal. “Oh, I see. I take it your comrades are in the Galactic Patrol too, hehe. You’ve surely changed for the better man, that’s pretty good. And this Beryl Roarke guy.. I suppose he’s strong! If he’s the leader he must be!” - he said, smirking slightly. He wouldn’t mind to meet this guy if Gnash praised him so highly.
The Saiyan could tell none of them really was around his actual base power but he felt comfortable among other strong warriors, and quite a group considering each’s differences; a green man, a human, a Saiyan and.. another humanoid? Cornatto couldn’t really tell if Belle was Human or not, but she was definitely a humanoid of some sorts.
That aside, the Saiyan embraced himself and waited for the machine to turn on but it took him by surprise before he expected it to, and was about to fall down on the floor but he was capable of planting his left leg to the floor. He put in as much effort as possible to not fall and sustain himself with that leg only until he began to recover himself from the sudden gravity chamber. It was.. quite different from those weights he wore, he could tell it could be challenging training in there but that was the best part.
“Hehe.. this is pretty tough but.. I can take it.” - he said, almost to himself as he straightened himself up, not with ease but at least he did that much. “Phew.. I didn’t know gravity training was like this. I’ll definitely use it more in the future.” - he said. At that point he simply began walking around the ship with.. a rather slow pace. It didn’t take much to tell how he felt; heavy. His legs were heavy, heavier than before but that’s what he was looking for after all so he couldn’t really complain. But he could feel it.. he was getting used to it! Slowly but he was.
At last he turned to face the others and watched the Human and the Namekian sparring, such sight made him crack a smile on his face. “I guess I’ll have to spar with Belle then-” - his thoughts interrupted by the sudden leaving of the others. “Huh, suppose it wasn’t the day. That’s fine Kaito, I hope we’ll have enough time to have a bout in the near future.” - he told him. Shortly after he raised his hand and waved to the others, making his way out of the ship himself. "I have something to do myself now that I think about it. But I'll see you guys later!" - he said.

Moving her foot experimentally, Belle felt the pull of the gravity. If she moved from her spot so neatly tucked against the wall, she’d crumble to the ground like nothing. As it was, she was doing everything in her power to appear cool and collected rather than let all the internal screaming show on the outside. Always a good actor, she thought she did a fair job at it but really couldn’t be sure. Gnash seemed to be struggling but not as much as Kaito, and she wiggled her toes until she could do so freely within her snug boots.
Sweat began to drip down her back, her yellow tank top clinging to the skin atop her spine as she struggled silently against the gravity. Others seemed so preoccupied in their own version of the same she didn’t mind showing this weakness so much now. Her eyes slipped closed and she focused on her breathing, the rise and fall of her chest, the way the air moved through the large room giving each space enough to maneuver and train without bothering anyone else. For a brief moment she considered doing her morning Yoga exercises in here and then immediately dismissed the idea, unless she really began running out of time to do both. One of the things she loved most about that routine was going off and finding some new remote location to practice in, to stare off into the distance from and admire the view.
As she tried moving it was like walking chest deep through water, sluggish and unresponsive but slowly, oh so slowly, she adjusted to the higher gravity. The girl understood the theory behind this, working in higher gravity to become stronger, but the actual practice of it felt way more complicated. Looking over at Corn she smiled again, it seemed they’d spar and while apprehensive as always due to her own lack of skill compared to seemingly everyone else, she wanted to improve. And like that, she took her time with adjusting to the gravity until she followed Beryl's advice not to move forward until she could move freely.
As she got ready for the fight her phone rang and she recognized the ring tone as that of her manager. “Shoot, I gotta get this, guys…sorry.”
“Hannibelle...yes, yes, no...I mean, I’m kind of - oh, right, well...I suppose I can do that. N-now? Right now? Oh, that’s the only time he can? Really? Sure. I’ll be right there.” She hung up and tossed it in her bag and waved a quick ‘bye’ to the boys. “Sorry, gotta go now if I want to shower before this meeting…” And like that, she was off to this damned meeting her manager set up last minute because her friend Harrison was apparently booked solid through the next two weeks except for, well, now. And they couldn’t plan this movie without the two main stars, could they?
