SOLO
Purika sat on the soft couch in his living room, watching some intergalactic television so that he wouldn't die of boredom. An occasional laugh came out as he watched a comedy show. As the episode he was watching finally came to an end, he picked up his television controller off the table which rested in front of him. He switched the television off, setting the remote back on the table and lifting himself from the couch. Now he stretched, wondering how long he was watching television.
After he was done stretching, he walked out of his living room and into his hallway. Now he wondered what he could do besides watching television, scratching the top of his head as he thought. "Well... I could go pay a visit to the bar." Purika thought, nodding to himself and deciding on it. As he walked down the hall, he wondered what he could do after that. "I should go and train again, I remembered seeing a higher setting in the gravity option in Shemha's dojo." He thought to himself, deciding on yet another thing to do.
Without further though, he walked down the hall to his room. He entered his room and quickly grabbed his expandable armor, sliding it down over him and his black extendable jumpsuit. It bore the symbol of the saiyan empire on the upper right side of his armor, right in front of the right side of his chest. Now Purika was almost ready to go to the bar and train immediately after, looking forward to it all. The last thing he did was grab the capsule for his training robot out of his capsule box, shoving it in his pocket.
Now that he was fully ready, he exited his room and headed down the hall towards the door. His hand on the button to open the door, he suppressed his power level to the above average saiyans power level. Now he pressed the button which triggered his door to open. Purika exited his home, the door sliding closed behind him and locking. Now he was walking down the busy and crowded streets of the capital.
After a minute or so of walking, choosing not to fly there, he would make it to the entrance of the bar. He pressed the outside button, the door sliding open. He walked in and the door closed behind him, his friend, the bartender, greeting him as he walked in. "Whats up Purika?" Itake asked, watching him as he walked to the counter and sat on the swivel stool. "Nothing much, just swinging by here before I go to train in the commander's dojo." He said in response to Itake's question.
"Alright then, what'll it be? The usual?" Itake asked him while a smirk came to his lips. Purika decided he was going to mix it up a bit today, planning to eat a little bit more than usual and burn it off while he was training. "Not this time." Purika said while laughing a bit. "Give me 5 slabs of (insert lizard name here) meat and a soft drink." He said, requesting of his friend. "Alright, coming right up." Itake said.
Itake turned and walked over to the window which led into the kitchen, where the kagami cook was located. Itake would give the kagami his order, the kagami nodding and immediately starting to prepare his food. Purika now turned his focus to the television on the wall, watching it while his order was prepared. Minutes later his meal was done, Itake grabbing it from sitting on the window that led to the kitchen and putting it on the counter in front of him.
"Thanks." Purika said to Itake, grabbing some zeni out of his pocket and placing it on the counter. "No problem." Itake said as he grabbed the zeni and deposited it. He grabbed his fork and immediately started eating, occasionally picking up his drink and taking a sip out of it. He watched the television which was placed on the wall while he ate, finishing his meal in only a few minutes. After he was done, he rose from his seat and stood, leaving his plate and glass for Itake.
"I'll be off! See you!" Purika said, walking off with his hand raised like he was waving. "See you!" Itake said while picking up his plate, glass, and utensils. Now that that was done, Purika exited the bar and began walking to the edge of the capital. It took him longer than it did when he walked from his home to the bar, but that was logical since the bar wasn't that far. Finally, he would arrive at the entrance of the dojo.
He pulled one of the wooden double doors open, having been the only wooden parts of the structure. He walked in, releasing the door for it to close. Purika's tail unwrapped itself and started to swerve around as his excitement to try this new level of gravity increased. He put his hand in his pocket, rambling through it for the capsule that held the robot he was going to train with, finally feeling the capsule and grabbing it out. Once the capsule was out of his pocket, he pressed down on the top of the small capsule and placed it upright on the ground.
One or two seconds later the robot would emerge, having been unleashed from the confined spaces of the capsule, which all things inside shrank down so more space could be used. Purika walked up to the robot at a steady place, raising his arm towards the robots activate button on its side and pressing down on it. The robot's AI activated and started to get the body it was placed in functioning, waiting quietly for Purika to give it an order.
Purika didn't slow down after activating the robot, he immediately started to walk over to the panel on the wall that controlled the gravity settings and all while the robot booted itself up. Once he was there, he pressed around on the panel and went straight to the gravity settings, preparing to enter the selected amount of gravity. His previous limit had been 120G but he planned to go further than that this time, all the way up to 130G. He placed the amount in, seeing that the setting he put in was still not the maximum the chamber could produce. He pressed the activate button, the gravity starting to build up.
Purika couldn't feel the earliest stages of gravity settings, his body having trained under much higher levels of gravity than that on more than one occasion. He had to train to keep up with the best, so this gravity training would keep him in top shape and help him get stronger, getting him closer and closer to the best. From his assumptions, he assumed that Shemha had yet to train up to this high a level of gravity. That was certainly a good accomplishment for him. Gravity also was a good way of training the body as his weights started to get less effective than they used to be.
He planned on selling them soon as they started to be more of a problem than a benefit, only reducing his amount of strength for such low results. Now he started to walk over to his robot as the pressure in the room started to build up, his robot starting to adjust to it too. He needed to lend half of his energy to his robot so that this training session would be a fair one, not wanting it to be too easy for him. He knew that robots could absorb energy to get stronger, so that was good. He approached the robot, preparing to give it a command.
He stood still in front of it as words started to emerge from his mouth. "Command, absorb half of my energy." Purika said with a grin on his face, the robot starting to reach its hand out. Purika showed no resistance as the robot's hand landed on his chest and started sucking away his energy and using it as its own. Purika could feel that the energy was being ripped away from him, it gave him a tingling feeling. Now he felt weaker, but that was no problem, he wanted to get the best results out of this training.
He would have the robot transfer the energy back to him after this was all said and done. Now the gravity had started to reach the setting where Purika designated it to go, him and the robot starting to be weighed down by the gravity in the chamber. The heat also rose as the pressure went up, making it more difficult to fight in such a situation. The gravity had brought Purika to his knees, him gritting his teeth as he tried to lift himself. The robot was quicker than Purika in getting up since it was a machine and the heat pretty much had no effect on him, also being able to adapt quicker.
Purika was a saiyan, though, he could not lose to a machine. He knew he could fight this machine on an even level and win, couldn't he? If he couldn't, that would make him less of a saiyan and that would be an insult to the race he was. If he couldn't beat this robot, how would he transform into that legendary form, the super saiyan, again? Purika's grunts started to grow louder, his crimson aura roaring around him as he started to lift himself from the ground slowly.
In one final push, he rose from the ground with a determined look on his face, determined not to be outdone by this machine. This machine may have won the battle, but it hadn't won the war as the saying went. Purika, brimming with confidence, wanted to begin the fight already. "Begin Sparring Session!" Purika said, ordering the robot to fight him. The robot entered his combat position, and Purika did also.
He wasn't going to hold back, that was for sure. This time Purika wasn't the first one to throw a strike, but it was the robot. The robot launched itself at Purika at intense speeds, Purika putting up his defenses as the robot threw out his legs as it intended to send a devastating kick to his chest. Something like that wouldn't be allowed, Purika started to smirk. The gravity made the robot a bit slower, but it was still fast as hell.
Purika had to get stronger for the upcoming tournament too, he wanted to make the Empire look good in front of the ones they were previously defeated by, the fighters on Earth. Purika's smirk turned into a toothy grin as he thought of the possibilities, but quickly snapping back into reality as the fight was still going on. He had to focus on this fight just as if it was a real fight, his guard being up as the metal foot hit his arm. The robot sent him sliding back a bit from the force of the impact. Purika quickly countered this by swinging his foot back and then forward in a blur of speed, sending it straight for where the robots bottom would be.
The robot looked down at his foot, but it was already too late as the foot had drawn so near him in such a short amount of time that if it attempted to dodge it wouldn't work. His foot collided with the bottom side of the robot, sending it flying up before it gained control of its body again and halted itself in the air, looking down at him. Purika, in turn, looked up at him, sending ki into his fingertips. Purika lowered his forearms from its guard position, raising one arm and pointing it towards the robot. His fingers aglow with ki, five beams of crimson ki fired from his fingertips and headed straight for the robot, Purika floating back and following up with more beams.
He floated back about 5 times, the robot getting his by some and dodging some others. Purika laughed in anticipation as the robot right arm slid to the side and exposed the barrel underneath, planning on firing a few rounds of energy at Purika. The robot aimed its arm downward as energy started to build up in it before a decently sized ball of energy fired from its arms. Though they were small, they were packed with a lot of energy and were set to detonate upon contact with anything unless properly dealt with. As the round drew closer, Purika did a few flips back as the round impacted the ground where he was, causing an explosion to rock the dojo.
"That was close." Purika thought to himself, looking up only to find another round had been launched at him. He continued to flip backward as more and more shot at him, exploding as they touched nothing but the ground. Purika wasn't quick enough, though, as one of them impacted the ground close to where he was. He was caught in the explosion, throwing his guard up to take minimal damage. Of course, Purika survived the attack, steam rolling off of his crossed forearms as he peeked from behind him to find the robot charging straight for him.
His arms would be a bit sore for a while, though, blowing at them as they stung. There was no time for that, though, Purika quickly stopped doing that and jumped out of the way of the robot. The robots head trailed him, Purika forming ki in the palm of his hand as the robot tried to slow itself down to land precisely. Purika threw his arm forward, ki exploding from his hand in a wave that headed straight for where the robot was landing. This attack was successful, managing to hit and damage the robot quite a bit.
That was some revenge for the robots last attack. Purika was starting to tire out a bit, but he figured he could hold on for a bit more. As the robot started to approach the wall of the room, it regained control of itself and flipped, sliding against the ground with support from its hand. Purika looked over at it as steam emerged from its metal body. Purika's muscles tensed as the gravity weighed him down, he had to put more effort into this fight than when he was fighting under normal conditions.
He was getting used to the gravity step by step, though. The robot had no trouble with it, but this meant that Purika just had to try harder and be more resourceful. The robot leaped towards Purika yet again, Purika doing the same as both of their fists were out. But Purika had better things in mind than throwing a punch, a sly grin coming to his face as a thought came to his mind. Putting his plan into action, ki transferred to his right arm yet again which gave it a crimson hue.
Ki slowly started to emerge out of his arm, first appearing as a blob of ki but then starting to sharpen and appear as a blade that encased his entire forearm. The robot realized what Purika was doing, but he wouldn't be able to stop now, so he tried to shift himself upwards. Purika's crimson aura flared around him again as he attempted to boost himself with the help of his ki, the gravity also working in his favor as the gravity made the robots ascent slower than it would've usually been. Purika raised his right arm which bore the blade of ki, slashing it near the thigh of the robot. Purika managed to slice halfway into the robots metal body until it shifted to the side to escape.
The robot quickly started to repair itself and started to gain some distance from Purika to do so, cords starting to attach to the other end of the severed cords in its body. Purika grinned as it did so, him redirecting ki to both of his arms this time and reabsorbing some energy from the blade back into his body. Ki would then pour out of the palms of his hand to form two ki balls that started to expand at an alarming rate. When they reached a desirable size which was way bigger than Purika he launched both near the robot but not directly at it.
As the two balls hurled towards the repairing robot, they started to split into multiple other balls. Purika had a plan, and he was sure it would be a good one. It would be to surround the robot with multiple ki balls and then detonate them all at one and create a huge explosion, possibly putting it down for the rest of the fight. The ki balls moved around the robot, up, under, and behind it creating basically a minefield of explosive ki balls. Purika held both of his hands out, the robot starting to guess what he was going to do.
The AI in the robot would figure out what he was trying to do as Purika quickly balled his fists and detonated all of the balls at once. The robot quickly formed a barrier of energy around itself to protect it, slowing down the repairing process as a result. A large explosion rocked the dojo, Purika placing his arm above his eyes to protect his eyes from the blinding light caused by it. Purika also squinted his eyes, looking up and down to see white all around him. In less than a few seconds it started to clear up, Purika starting to lower his arms from in front of his eyes.
What he saw next would make him a bit frustrated, an almost unscathed robot that had an energy shield surrounding it. "The bastard figured out what I was doing before I triggered my attack... I'll have to be faster." Purika thought to himself, a serious look on his face as he started to breathe faster. The heated oxygen entered his lungs, he was almost at his limit and the robot was fully repaired. No, he couldn't loose to a robot, he wouldn't let himself be beaten by just a machine. Now he was ready to get up close and personal with the machine, possibly regaining a bit of energy while he was going at it.
In a burst of speed, he launched himself at the robot which had started to put its energy shield down. As he drew nearer and nearer to the robot, it got in its combat position in preparation to retaliate in response to what Purika would throw at him. Now Purika was doing what the robot had previously done right before he decided to form his blade, get up close and personal and try to have some effect doing that. When he got near the robot, he started to slow himself down so he wouldn't crash right into the robot. Now he threw a barrage of punches and kicks, the robot reacting quickly and doing its own.
Now they started to disappear from normal lines of sight, darting across the room and producing shockwaves as they clashed, going from location to location in the massive dojo. They would occasionally pause and return to the normal line of view for one reinforced strike before returning to their normal fight around the room. Purika finally slowed down and threw his leg forward to strike the abdomen of the robot's stomach as a surprise, using a seemingly reinforced punch as a distraction for this attack. His attack successful, the robot flew back into the wall of the room from his mighty kick. Now he flew backward to gain even more distance, saving his energy up for a finishing blow.
The robot dropped to the floor, not sliding down the wall as it was curved and not flat. The gravity also made the uncontrolled descent of the robot go even quicker, making it hit the ground harder. If he were close to the robot, he would've heard a loud CLANG noise come from the metal robot as it hit the ground. Now this would buy Purika some time to gather a bit of energy, enough to end the fight hopefully. Even though the robot couldn't be defeated by him unless he vaporized it, he could call off the training when the robot would've logically been killed if it was an actual person.
Purika lowered himself to the ground, descent made faster by the gravity. He crouched on the ground, taking a few breaths of air in and blowing it out. Even though the room was hot as hell, he could at least try calming himself even if he didn't get refreshed. He watched as the robot slowly got up, its internal injuries being repaired as it did. Now it was finally up, and it was planning to get its hit back on Purika.
The robot darted forward at Purika, Purika not needing much time to react from how far away he was. This distance would still be closed quickly, though. Purika now got to his feet, getting into a stance to prepare for when the robot attempted to strike him. Now he was going to attempt to deliver the finishing blow. The robot neared him quickly and was right on top of him, Purika thinking and reacting quickly by redirecting a lot of ki into his arm and hurling it forward to the robot's chest.
With the force put behind this attack, the speed of his attack would cause any potential attempts for the robot to dodge to be unsuccessful. As it shot forward, it impacted the robots metal chest, digging into it and ripping through it. It easily ripped through the inside, his fist and part of his forearm coming right out the other side. "End Sparring Session." Purika said, commanding the robot. The robot paused before doing anything else, Purika pulling his fist out of its chest as it still stood upright.
Now he would crouch down, regaining his strength. If the robot was a normal person would've been dead, so that would count as a win for him since he didn't want to completely destroy his robot. Now the robot stood there, repairing itself and grabbing its fallen parts off of the floor. After he regained a little of his strength back, he stood and floated over to the panel on the wall which he turned on the gravity with. He raised his arm to the panel, turning the gravity down back to normal.
"Transfer Power." He shouted out to his robot as it finished repairing itself. The robot walked over to him and placed its hand back on his chest, transferring all the energy Purika gave to it back to its rightful owner. Now that he had his energy back, he could deactivate the robot. "Deactive." Purika said, ordering the robot. The robots AI turned off, standing with no movement at all.
Now that the room started to cool off, Purika could relax. He sat on the floor, taking in a breath of cool air finally. He sat down for quite a while, finally getting to his feet a few minutes later and pressing the button next to the robot's activate button, the capsule button. In less than a second, it would be capsuled. Purika picked up the capsule on the floor and shoved it into his pocket.
Purika sighed a bit before walking to the exit, pushing open the wooden door in which he arrived in. The strength he now acquired would now help him succeed in the upcoming tournament, possibly putting him ahead of some of Earth's fighters. Purika grinned, he also thought about the Mazoku. The empire had such strong forces, there was no way they could win. Even if the arcosians decided to help them, he was sure they wouldn't be much of a threat.
The Empire put down the arcosians pretty easily before, so why not again if they attacked. Purika was certain that the Empire would do the same for the Mazoku scum, the thought making his grin widen a bit more. Now he stood on the steps in front of the wooden double doors, preparing to go home and take a nap. His crimson aura flared around him before he shot into the sky, headed back towards his house. Before he took a nap, he decided it would be best for him to take a shower.
He could smell his odor that was produced from the intense training and heat. Once almost directly above his house, he floated down to the ground, landing in front of the entrance to his house. He unlocked his home and walked in, the door sliding open and closing behind him as he continued down the hall. He made it to the bathroom door, entering and removing his armor and spandex, turning on the shower and getting in. Now he washed away, thinking about the things to come.
