It was a hot but windy day on Namek, and all Cargo could do was reminisce of his journey to where he is now. He sat back in the smooth blue grass and allowed adventures past to flow freely through his mind.
Chapter 2: The Fruits of Training
Chapter 2: The Fruits of Training
Cargo has his hand raised with the boulder in his sights. He was so exhausted from his last struggle that water was basically gravitating to him. None the less Cargo had to prove he could compete with the other warriors. Once again he enabled his telekinesis and tries to lift the small boulder.
The boulder begins to shake as it did the previous time before. The other warriors again looked on a bit to see Cargo attempt this again. Cargo again was placing his all into his use of telekinesis. The boulder began to shake with great force as if a tiny earthquake was taking place under it. After a minute or so the boulder lifts off of the ground. Cargo slowly lifted this boulder higher and higher. Once it was obvious that the boulder was well above his head he allowed it to drop, but moments before it could crash into the ground Cargo stops it with his telekinesis. The force of the boulder being stopped brought Cargo down to one knee as he still wasn’t quite ready to handle it yet. He then places it back onto the ground and looks toward a boulder of the same size as the last.
Cargo places both of his hands forward with his left focusing on a boulder as was his right. Right from the start sweat started to drip from his forehead as he struggles to lift two boulders at once. Soon they both would begin to lift only inches off the ground while Cargo grows weaker by the second. Some of the other namekian warriors wondered why this was very difficult for Cargo as power had little to do with telekinesis. Little did they know, but Cargo was training to build the strength of his mind which rendered his body weak when he focused so much. A strong mind is the way to more power and a stronger body. This is why Cargo knew he would one day surpass most of them, because they failed to realize that physical strength is nothing without the mind to support it.
Cargo’s struggle continued as the boulders were now a few inches higher. Everyone thought he was trying to lift them both and do as he did the previous boulder, but that wasn’t the plan. Cargo raised the boulders up just enough and released his hold and as the boulders were about to hit rock bottom; Cargo charged in and kicked both of them to dust. After destroying the boulders he dropped down on all fours breathing very heavily as if out of breath. Fading in and out as his vision blurs while staring at the soft blue grass.
“I…I will not… pass out… again. I will become… stronger… and I will lead… this generation… of warriors. I have increased the focus…of my mind. My…my body has…has gained…strength as a….as a result. Now Cargo…..stand!”
Cargo summoned whatever strength he had left in his body and began to stand up on his own two feet. He inhales and exhales deeply before looking at the other warriors when Fidna steps out from behind them.
“It seems you are improving Cargo and at an impressive rate I might add, but if you want to become even better then you should spar with another warrior. Here, you can spar with him.” Fidna grabs a warrior from the group. “You two are about the same in strength but after your training you are extremely weakened. View this a test of will and resolve.”
It was insane to think he would have to spar when he was obviously so weak after what he had just done. Fidna wanted to test Cargo and Cargo would nod in acceptance as he assumes his fighting stance. He knew that it was a slim chance he could win, but he didn’t care. He knew that this was the only way to gain what he so desired. His opponent wasted no time going after him. The namekian launched at Cargo with a right elbow followed up with a left high kick. Cargo slaps back the right elbow, but the left high kick lands and sends Cargo crashing to the ground. The namekian warrior quickly tried to land a powerful fist on Cargo’s forehead, but Cargo rolled out of the way flipping back to his feet. It was obvious that at this rate Cargo wasn’t going to last much longer, but he refused to give up.
Cargo created some decent space between them and closed his eyes. The namekian warrior seemed a bit confused by this, but charged in anyway. Fidna realized what Cargo was planning on doing a little too late and before he could stop the battle the warrior was already throwing a punch. Cargo quickly opened his eyes and used his telekinesis to throw back the blow following that with a flying kick to the warrior’s chest sending the warrior skidding across the grass. The warrior leaps back up as Cargo waves for him to come again. The warrior runs full speed at Cargo with the intent of hurting him, but he was about to be severely beaten. It took everything Fidna had not to stop the battle, but the namekians were a proud warrior race. Fidna stood and watched Cargo very carefully because one day they will no doubt come to blows.
As the warrior was charging in, Cargo uses his improved telekinesis to stop the warrior and hold him in place. Cargo dashed in with a knee to the gut causing spit to fly out from the warrior’s mouth. He followed the knee with a heavy elbow to the back of the head, but he wasn’t allowed to fall due to being held by telekinesis. Cargo unloaded with left and right punches in rapid succession. Blood was falling down like rain over the face of the namekian warrior. Cargo then went after the body with a massive combo. He landed two jabs, a right knee, a left elbow, a right elbow, two left mid kicks, a right uppercut, a left uppercut, and he capped it off with a small open palmed strike to the warrior’s chest. Cargo felt the strength and life of the warrior begin to fade so he released his telekinetic hold and allowed the warrior to fall over him. Cargo then placed the warrior on the ground and takes a few steps back and falls to the ground.
Cargo had drained himself by not only fighting and using his telekinesis, but using them together. His ki was fading faster by the second. Fidna, astounded by Cargo’s will to fight and survive quickly got Cargo and the other warrior to the healers. Word had gotten to the village elder and he made his way to the now unconscious warriors.
“Fidna, this is the second time he has had to be healed, but now I hear he savagely attacked one of his own? What is this about?
Fidna simply looked at the elder and walked away. It was a message that only the elder would understand. Now what was to become of Cargo? He was drained even more than the first time and his chance of survival was not great. Cargo’s will was too great, but it was unknown if he would make it through the tremendous wounds of his training.
