It seemed that the Hunter was a bit weaker than the cloud had expected. His kick was parried expertly, but Pieter's arm was much flimsier than it first appeared. With a surprising amount of speed, Pieter was flung from the Planet, landing painfully on the tail of Snake Way quite a ways away. King Kai and the Cloud Man peered over the edge of the planet, each of them carrying a look of concern.
"I thought he would have turned Super Saiyan right away..."
After a moment, the Hunter returned, looking a lot worse for wear than he did a few moments prior. He goaded the Cloud into attacking him, causing the creature to simply shrug in response. "If that is what you wish."
The Cloud moved forwards slowly, trying to give Pieter a chance to catch his breath. "I'll just... Attack you now."
He pulled his fist back, before shooting it forwards in the most telegraphed way possible.

The cloud seemed apathetic towards Pieter's current situation, his speech hesitant and his slowly encroached punch lazily brought forth. The hunter found it insulting, simply moving his head and letting the punch drill next to his head. Granted, it still required a lot of Pieter's effort to dodge! "Hey," Pieter asked, his face curled to anger, "What the hell are you doing? Attack me seriously or go back home!"Pieter hurled a hook to the cloud man's face, not sure what to expect from his opponent. King Kai didn't seem to be telling him a thing about bringing out the energy within into this... "Kaio-Ken" technique. Something that brings out the soul as combat power? Maybe this was similar to his tribe's 'spirit' techniques, but he needed King Kai to go into detail about it! "I'm trying to bring out my soul, and you're not helping by being lax against me!"( Bing Gan, King Kai, your go! Kinda need ya to tell me how to work the technique out, budd! One step at a time, but steps be needed!)

The Cloud huffed angrily, retracting his fist mid-way through his strike. If Pieter was going to be rude about it, then he would simply not participate. "Fine. Perhaps you should spar against yourself then." He huffed again, folding his arms across his cloudy chest, and turning his back. It was surprisingly easy to offend a Cloud-Man, apparently.
King Kai stared at the two in confusion. This was a new one, for sure. "Well, I was hoping the two of you could spar a bit more, so you could more properly feel the difference in your power, but it looks like you're so outclassed that you'll need it a bit earlier than I thought..."
Quickly sliding in-between the two fighters, King Kai raised his index finger, beginning to explain. "Now! The Kaioken can be activated very simply. You just have to find a need for your inner-most strength. Focus all of your spirit energy on that need; be it a fearsome foe, or just an uncooperative Cloud-Man!" The Cloud-Man turned his head at King Kai, scoffing, before turning his back once more.
"Once you've focused your energy, all you gotta do is simply shout out KAIOKEN!... The rest should come naturally."
King Kai shuffled out of the way, motioning for Pieter to attempt what the Kai had said on the Cloud-Man before him.

The cloudman seemed to agree, actually stopping his assault. He seemed upset about it... Granted, Pieter was the type of guy who wanted honesty at this point. Too many bad experiences had led him there. King Kai seemed to be seeing their side, but he admitted that he wanted Pieter to learn the differences in strength between he and his opponent. That, Pieter already had been in tune with at this point in his existence! A raised index finger told Pieter to wait, as the explanation actually began. "Bring out all the spirit energy inside," Pieter repeated, raising an eyebrow as he held his arm. Aside from shouting Kaioken at the end, Pieter felt this was similar to his tribe's old teachings... Granted, in that case, it was summoning and mixing the 'Spirit Animal' with their energy. The concept actually sounded a bit sensible to him! He told King Kai, "I... Think I might know what you're talking about? Give me a moment..."He widened his stance and took a small breath in, with shut eyes. He let himself go into a trance, letting out a low keyed, but high toned sound from his throat, as he envisioned delving down a starry pit with deep blues, violets, and countless white specks. His body appeared as though the light of the realm was still shining upon him, as he delved down slowly. A white 'shadow,' if one could call that, came to view, and Pieter lightly landed upon it. He began walking forward, but no sound came from his feet touching the strange 'surface.' Pieter was approaching a pair of black masses, two distinct shapes looking down upon him with red and yellow eyes. Pieter stopped within several meters of them and looked at each. He felt a great connection with both of them, but he was not sure which one he sought. The mass with red eyes leaned forward, as if it believed that Pieter was the one he was seeking! The mass with yellow eyes remained observant, not budging an inch and keeping its pressuring gaze one Pieter. "Kaio..."He begun to speak, as his eyes opened up and whitened! In his mind, Pieter touched the mass with red eyes, and felt a great surge of power meld with him! In the real world, his body became golden, as he ushered out, "KEN!"His hair became spikey, even the ponytail that he had, and turned a bright yellow! His eyes became a teal color, as his power flowed through his body. Pieter felt something with this, though, and it was something that he did not seek: The Super Saiyan state. He looked at his body, finding his skin tone lighter than normal and the yellow aura flowing all over him. "Aaargh..! Damn it!"( Bing Gan, King Kai, your go once more!)

King Kai's invested expression suddenly died down, replaced by confusion. The Hunter had somehow tapped into the Super Saiyan state while in the middle of performing the Kaio-Ken! The Kai sighed; dejected but also relieved. "Well, at least you know how to activate that form! You really need to train that Super Saiyan thing. If you learn how to control it, then you should be more than able to use the Kaio-Ken alongside it! Kaula figured that part out in no time, so it shouldn't be much trouble for you."
The Kai floated up, resting at eye level with the Super Saiyan. He stared into Pieter's teal eyes, as he explained again. "The Super Saiyan form is not unlike the Kaioken. It needs purpose to activate; you were definitely on the right track with that attempt! You just need to dig a little bit deeper to get that connection. Once you've got it, it'll be much easier to pull out if you need it again."
King Kai floated out of Pieter's vision. Just to make sure the Hunter would get the hang of it this time, King Kai zapped him in the back with a barely noticeable zap of magic. It would enhance his connection to his spirit for just a few moments; more than enough time to unleash the Kaioken!

"Aaaaah..?! It can be done with-"Pieter was finding it a bit hard to believe, letting the state power down, and with it, let the exhaustion come over! By the time he did that, King Kai zapped him in the back, making Pieter screech, "Hey, you don't need to zap me in the back! I'll get it!"The hunter closed his eyes, and the same scene played out before him, and he was in front of the masses once more. The red eyed mass seemed to show disappointment at the Hunter, whilst the other leaned in and nudged Pieter's face. A different well of energy coursed through him this time, building up in him like shaken champagne in a bottle..! "Guaaaaaaaaaaaah...! Kaio-ken..!"Pieter's body exploded with red energy, and felt like a wildfire! The power was immense, but there was an enormous draining feeling with it as well. The hunter looked at King Kai uttering, "OH MY- WHAT IS WITH THIS WILDFIRE?!"(And then Pieter proceeds to lose his composure..! Bing Gan, King Kai)

King Kai's smile widened immensely, but quickly vanished. Pieter had unlocked the Kaioken, but it seemed he was a bit more than bewildered by what was happening. The Deity rushed over to Pieter, trying to explain. "This is it! You've got it! The Kaioken! You can feel the power right? It's accompanied by some pain, but the power is surging I can tell! Use it, Pieter! Beat the cloud down!"The Cloud turned, fluffy brow raised in confusion. It'd been a while since he'd seen that. "Nope. Still not interested."
Pieter has officially learned Kaioken. Will explain the further mechanics of it ICly once you've properly landed a punch against this guy.

"Ooook," Pieter replied, looking at the cloudman, to see if he was interested. The scoff he gave annoyed Pieter, who replied, "Then back to the clouds with you!"
Pieter spent no time, feeling that pain coming on King Kai was speaking of! He was immediately in front of the Cloudman, hanging low with a fist balled up. Energy had built up in his hand, and with a great heave, sent a massive wave with a wolf head towards the cloud man's chest.
(Straight up going in his face and unleashing Beast's Roar (N1) with the rapid energy build up.)

The Cloud-Man turned just in time to see his coming demise. The Kaio-Ken-infused energy wave tore through the sky like a wave of pure lava, burning through the cloudy golem's body like a knife through butter! He let out a single yelp, before his body dispersed. There was a silence for just a moment, before King Kai let out a pleased whistle.
"Not bad. I think you could have taken it a bit easier though."
He turned to Pieter, raising his hand as he began to explain. "Now that you've figured out how to use it, there's one thing I almost forgot to mention. There are many tiers to the Kaioken, going from one to twenty. The more power you need, the higher number you shout out. Be careful, though! The bigger the number, the bigger the drain. Only use x20 Kaioken in the most dire of situations, and even then it's not a good idea! This is a dangerous skill, so use it wisely."
With a clap of his hands, he created a small gust of wind, blowing away the remaining bits of cloud corpse that dirtied up his planet. "Now! I want you to keep practicing that skill. It will be a big help for the Tournament in just a few weeks."
He gave the Saiyan a long stare. It had been a while since Pieter arrived, but he'd been growing in power quite wildly. When he first arrived he was barely a blip on the radar, but now he was a Super Saiyan! The improvement was truly great. Perhaps he was already ready for the next lesson? With a shrug, he decided to just go for it.
"Now, I think it's time we move on to the next lesson. The Kaioken is simple, but this one might take a bit more practice, so I want to start teaching you now instead of later."

The wolf head pelted the clouds above, as it ripped apart the cloud man! The Kaioken dispersed with the beam, and left Pieter grabbing for his formerly good arm with his injured one. He winced, as he uttered, "Owowowowowow...! WOW! OUCH!"King Kai wasn't kidding on the pain... But there were higher degrees of this technique with even worse pain?! It made him think that it'd put him in a coma, full body cast, as his body ached for about the next ten years. On top of that, King Kai told him that there was yet another technique he had to teach Pieter! "Are you serious," Pieter asked, immediately thinking on guessing it, "The way this one was... What am I going to expect? Honing that energy into a blade or a wave? The idea of it's making think it'll kill me... Again!"( King Kai, Bing Gan, your go!)

King Kai shook his head, hand raising as he began to explain. "Close, but not exactly. What I am going to teach you is known as the Spirit Bomb. It is a powerful technique, allowing you to borrow the energy from all living things-- Plants, Animals, People, even the Earth you stand on! It takes all the energy of those who are willing to share it with you, and combines it into a powerful ball of Chi!"The Kai's antennae tilted back, a beam of bright energy shooting out behind him. Suddenly, a massive Oozaru would appear, his body nearly half as large as the planet they stood on! His power was mighty, and his roar mightier! He sat still, eyes locked on Pieter in sickening anticipation. He wanted to see if the Hunter had what it took to take him down before he squashed him like a bug. "This enemy can only be taken down by the Spirit Bomb, Pieter. Spread your spirit out across the planet, and ask for the help of those around you. I promise you'll get a response!"With a quick motion, King Kai raised his hands preemptively, awaiting Pieter's attempt to summon the Spirit Bomb. Should the Hunter request it, King Kai's energy would flow into the spirit bomb, empowering it greatly!
This is it! Your final lesson! Summon the Spirit Bomb and let it loose on the Oozaru!

King Kai's explanation was vague. Undoubtedly, he wanted Pieter to figure it out this time around, as an Oozaru was summoned before him! King Kai held up his hands, as he told him the Oozaru could only be taken down with the Spirit Bomb, that he'd have to spill his spirit through the planet. "Uh... Ok??"Pieter didn't know how that was to be done! At the moment he was looking at the Oozaru who was sitting there, looking just about ready stomp down on him. He wasn't even sure how it was able to maintain this form in the first place! He held his hand towards the planet, as he asked out loud, "Uh, Planet? Can I borrow your, uh... Energy?"He had no idea what he was doing at all! ( King Kai, Bing Gan)

As Pieter outstretched his hands, he would find that small orbs of blue energy would slowly begin to gravitate towards his palms. The energy in his hands would combine and grow in size, eventually becoming the size of a pea. It was taking its sweet time combining itself, so King Kai decide to speed things along. He offered up some of his own energy, increasing the orb's size in no time flat! It had become similar in size to that of a beach ball now, and it was still getting bigger! "That's it! Do you see now, Pieter? The energy of the world is mixing with your spirit to create an incredible attack!" His eyes traveled up to meet the Oozaru towering above, before turning back to Pieter. "That should be more than enough power to deal with this one. Whenever you're ready, just fire it at him!"The Oozaru simply stared, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the Spirit Bomb. It was so puny compared to him, all he could do was laugh. His chuckling caused the planet itself to tremble...
Pieter has officially learned the Spirit Bomb. Use it now to defeat your Oozaru foe!

Energy flooded into PIeter's hands, becoming only the size of a pea. It was strange for him to see energy flowing to him, but it didn't feel as though it'd be enough... Until it suddenly increased in size by nearly five hundred fold to the size of a beachball! It felt as though King Kai had suddenly given him some strength and had been ecstatic at this. The oozaru chuckled at it, and the hunter found it to be a challenge to him..! "Take this," he shouted, hurling the ball like a dodgeball at the Oozaru! It looked like a chunk of rock blasting from an active volcano into the sky! As this happened, the hunter would be finding the fatigue overwhelming him finally, and he would pass out on the grass. ( King Kai , Bing Gan , I'm going to end up making this the last post. Will be taking power level!)

The Spirit Bomb was launched, shooting through the sky like a bullet coming out of a cannon! It collided with the Oozaru's face perfectly, exploding so violently that it sent the entire, massive beast right off the planet! Before it could fall past the clouds, King Kai zapped it with a blast of energy from his antennae, sending it back from whence it came.
"Well done, Pieter! Just keep practicing that, and you'll be a shoe-in for--"
He turned to his student, only to notice the poor sap had passed out! The Hunter had done quite a bit today, so it was only fair. King Kai smiled, before materializing a blanket above Pieter. "You did good, Pieter..."
Training Complete!
