''And you're sure about this, Bulim?''
''Heh, why do you ask?''
''Hmm, I just can't help but think you might hurt yourself, fighting at your age.''
''HA! Funny as ever, Rhytid! Nothing beats experience, and I'll prove it to you!''
''...Alright then, it's been too long since we sparred anyway. But where are you taking me?''
The elder Warrior grinned amusedly, treading through the dirt roads with Rhytid by his side. ''I asked some local Dragon Clansman if they could aid us in our training with their magic.'' Bulim explained, sending a glance toward the much taller, and bulkier Rhytid. ''Magic? Like what the Guru did to me?'' The Namekian raised a brow, returning the glance toward Bulim. ''No, no, nothing of the sort! The place we're heading is a village of mystics that specialize in gravity enhancement!'' The elder raised a finger in a know-it-all manner, an innocent yet arrogant smile on his face.
Rhytid was quite lost for words! ''Gravity enhancement?'' He paused, ''How come I've never heard of this before?'' Rhytid pulled a difficult face, continuing to follow his former mentor. ''You've spent all this time training with other Warriors, or in solitude. Magic has its values, you know?'' Bulim chuckled, putting his hands behind his back. The Warrior's leader grinned amusedly, unable to help but think of the amazing boost in power he received from Helix. ''Oh trust me, I know all about it.''
They reached the top of a small hill, overlooking the beautiful plains of Namek. Patches of Ajissa plantlife, flowing streams that lead to beautiful lakes, and finally...A small village, with a few dome-shaped houses all linked together by a dirt path. On the northmost point, a larger building stood proudly, spaced out enough for fighters to train inside of.
''I'm going to assume we're here?'' Rhytid crossed his arms, glancing down at Bulim with a smirk. ''My, truly an observation only a leader of your stature could make!'' Bulim spoke aloud, totally not sarcastic whatsoever. ''...Are you mocking me?'' Rhytid, as oblivious as he was, could only guess.
''Maybe.''
The two went on their way, traveling down the small hill and into the Dragon Caste village. Both Rhytid and Bulim were greeted by Namekians left and right, garnering more attention than he figured he'd receive. Was the word of Rhytid's leadership finally starting to spread further than the Warrior Caste?
Standing infront of the training dojo's double doors, Rhytid and Bulim exchanged friendly glances, challenging eachother with their expression alone. It was obvious that both were looking forward to this quite a lot- just like the old days, where Bulim trained Rhytid day in day out. ''Well, what are we waiting for?''
''What are YOU waiting for?''
''I...Let's just go inside.''
The doors swung open with a mighty creak, and the two Namekians stepped in eagerly. At the end of the hallway, the head of a young Dragon Clansman popped out, a smile beaming on his face! ''Ahh, mister Bulim, and master Rhytid, you're here!'' His prepubescent voice piped up, waltzing down the hallway eagerly, a wooden staff held in his hand. ''Good to see you, Athora. Have you made the preparations?'' Bulim asked, shaking hands with Athora in a friendly manner. ''Yep, all done! We can start whenever you two like!'' The mystic smiled, moving his sights over to Rhytid. ''Greetings.'' The Warrior Clansman smiled, extending a hand to the younger mystic. ''I assume you're the one Bulim has told me about. Athora, was it?'' Rhytid asked, immediately receiving an excited nod from Athora. He took hold of Rhytid's hand, and shook it firmly. ''That's me! It's great to finally meet with you, Rhytid! Bulim told me allll about you!'' A toothy grin formed on the young mystic's face, letting go of Rhytid's hand and tapping his staff onto the floor. ''Did he now?'' Rhytid spoke curiously, sending a glance toward the Namekian elder, who could only chuckle. ''He's an eager one, I'll tell you that much.''
Bulim stepped forward, passing the two Namekians with a calm stride. ''Come now,'' He spoke, ''We can talk later.'' Bulim beckoned the young one's to follow, and so they did. They could have small-talk later, there was training to be had!
The hallway lead to a big, open room, with a short set of stairs that lead to a giant, rectangular fighting ring in the middle of the room. At the opposite end of the room, a large, aquamarine crystal was set atop a pedestal, shining faintly with mystical energies. ''OKAY!'' Athora shouted, scooting past Rhytid and Bulim over to the other end of the large room. ''Welcome, welcome! You two enter the fighting ring now, I promise this'll be great!'' The Namekian clapped his hands together excitedly, taking position next to the large crystal. Rhytid raised a curious brow as he stepped into the ring with Bulim, sights locked onto the crystal. It looked a lot like the crystals Helix and him found in that hidden cave...
''Excuse me, but...-'' Rhytid gazed at the Dragon Clansman, a slight look of confusion on his face. ''How does this 'Gravity Enhancement' work? Just...Curious.'' He blinked questioningly. Athora raised a finger toward the ceiling, a know-it-all look on his face. ''Good question, your Warrior-ness!'' He chirped, before gesturing toward the large, humming crystal. ''I'll be using this beauty, along with my neat magic, to intensify the gravity inside of the fighting ring! It'll help with your training, since everything is MUCH heavier!'' Athora smiled proudly, trying his hardest to impress the two stoic, strong fighters.
Rhytid hummed curiously. ''Sounds promising,'' He paused. ''But how d-'' ''All I have to do is extend my hands like THIS, and activate it with my magic, like THIS!'' Athora suddenly interrupted, and with a flick of his wrist, the crystal hummed...
...A dull 'Vwooomm!' sounded through the training area!
The gravity had suddenly been increased tenfold!
''G-GhAA!!'' Rhytid yelped, losing his balance under the sudden, increased force! His posture stammered, and the Namekian had to catch his own fall by placing a palm onto the wooden floor. ''You could have warned me!'' He complained loudly, an irritated look sent towards the Dragon Clansman. Athora quickly put a hand infront of his mouth, striking a guilt-ridden face. ''Oh P-Porunga I'm so sorry! Do you want me to turn it off, Master Rhytid?!'' The mystic asked quickly as Rhytid climbed back to his feet. But before he could anwser...
''No, no, Athora, this is fine as is.'' Bulim spoke calmly, not even losing the tiniest bit of his balance under the intensified gravity. The elder laughed briefly at Rhytid's unexperienced stumbling, sending him a teasing grin. ''What's the matter, Rhytid? Too heavy for you? I figured you tougher than this...'' Bulim shaked his head in a mocking, disapproving manner, clicking his tongue twice. Rhytid tried to stabilize his breathing, the strain on his muscles quite obnoxious and painful. ''To be fair...-'' Rhytid muttered, ''It wouldn't be so heavy if i wasn't already weighted down by this training Gi...'' The Namekian sighed, trying to move his arms against the force pulling him downwards. It was like he was lifting dumbells, without even lifting dumbells! ''We haven't even done anything yet and I can feel my muscles aching...You weren't lying when you said this was effective...!'' Rhytid grinned amusedly, already looking forward to the results of today's training.
''And you know what the coolest part is?!'' Athora suddenly chimed in from outside the gravity pocket. ''This is only ten times our normal gravity! It's the lowest amplification!'' A nerdy smile beamed on the mystic's face, his fingers intertwined with one another. ''This...is the lowest setting...?!'' Rhytid's eyes widened slightly in shock! If this was the lowest it could be amped, and he was already feeling the burn...Then...?!
''I told you, Rhytid-'' Bulim chuckled lowly, moving around in the intensified gravity as if it were nothing. ''Nothing beats experience!''
''We'll see about that, Bulim!'' Rhytid said aloud with a tad more confidence in his voice. While his body had not gotten used to the gravity quite yet, he felt himself able to move somewhat easier. He could stand around and wait for an eternity until his body got acclimated, but what better way to do that than getting into the thick of things? The Warrior Caste leader got into a low crouch, raising his arms into the traditional Warrior Caste fighting stance. His gaze lowered and intensified, fixated on his elderly mentor. Rhytid was ready.
Bulim adopted the stance with a nod, gazing up at his much taller comrade. Although Rhytid appeared to be much more powerful, the elder oozed with confidence. He was an experienced fighter, and had seen to Rhytid's training since his early years. He knew everything about Rhytid's fighting style, surely he could best him once more!
''Come on then, Rhytid!'' Bulim clenched his hands into tight fists. ''Show me what our leader can do!''
''Gladly...'' Rhytid smirked, muscles bulging in anticipation...!
''FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!'' ''RRHAAAAAAA!!!'' ''GRRHOOOOOO!!!''
The two warriors flung themselves at eachother in a blitz of speed! The air tore and shred between them, intense gazes locked as arms were revved back in preparation! When they met, both unleashed their might, throwing strike after strike at the other in a mighty flurry of blows! Zooms and cracks, blows and shockwaves, Rhytid and Bulim continued to exhance blow after blow! Their fists clashed with a mighty strike, a heavy shockwave booming through the arena. Rhytid locked his grip onto Bulim's fists, and the two Namekians found themselves stuck in a power struggle! ''I'm surprised! You're not half as rusty as I thought you'd be!'' Rhytid grinned as he pushed against Bulim's force, both their arms quaking under the intense pressure. ''I see you've grown yourself as well, Rhytid!'' Bulim chuckled, before putting all of his focus into their battle once more.
''DOHYA!'' The elder shouted, pulling Rhytid's grip downwards with a fierce tug as he raised his leg! A swift kick was sent straight towards Rhytid chin, the top of his shoe impacting the young Warrior with a mighty blow! Rhytid flung back with a pained grunt, quickly backflipping and landing back on two feet.
Suddenly though, Rhytid's eyes widened, seeing an elastic arm thrown straight at him! He instinctively dodged Bulim's elastic fist with a sidestep, and took hold of Bulim's arm with a tight grip, claws digging themselves into the elder's skin! ''HOOAA!'' Rhytid bellowed fiercely, pulling Bulim's arm back with all of his might! ''W-what?!'' The elder Namekian grunted, pulled from his feet and on a collission course straight towards Rhytid!
''Right where I want you!'' Rhytid let out, clenching his free hand into a tight fist and pulling it back! The Namekian's muscles bulged and throbbed, and when Bulim was close enough, he unleashed it with a fierce strike! ''GHRAA!!''
'BOOSH!!'
Bulim let out a loud groan of pain, blasted backwards and helplessly tumbling across the floor! Rhytid relaxed his posture for a moment, a satisfied grin creeping up on his face. He got a direct hit in, one that held some actual force behind it! The Namekian was panting heavily, beads of sweat already dripping from his forehead. His muscles burned with a necessary pain, every movement he made sending a sharp sting of pain through his limbs. Good, he needed this pain, it was a sign of progress!
''G-...Good shot!'' Bulim muttered painfully, already having climbed back to his feet. A large bruise was embedded on his left cheek, yet he too carried the same satisfied smile Rhytid had. ''Maybe I've underestimated you, Rhytid...'' The elder wiped away a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth, raising his guard once more. ''I know you're hiding your full strength as well, you're holding back, aren't you?'' Rhytid asked in a curious tone, raising his guard as well. Bulim chuckled lowly, eyes closing into thin, intense slits. ''Why don't you find out yourself?''
But right when the two were about to go at it again...
''Now hold on for just ONE teensie tiny minute!!''
Athora gestured the both of them to stop with raised hands! Both the Warrior Clansman dropped their guards, gazing at the mystic with a curious look. ''Wh-what is it...? We were just about to-'' Rhytid, of all people, was silenced by this prepubescent Dragon Clansman! He raised a finger, 'Shhh'ing Rhytid! Quite disrespectful, but considering how quirky the mystic was, it was probably okay...?
''Alright! First of all, cool fight! Give it a solid 7 out of 10!'' Athora nodded, giving the two of them a thumbs up. ''Only seven?''
''BUT! I stoped you two since I noticed something!'' Athora paused, gesturing right at Rhytid, who simply stood there with crossed arms. ''Master Rhytid, you, my friend, are ready for the next level!'' He let out enthusiastically. Rhytid however, only raised a curious, quite confused brow. ''Wait, already?'' He muttered lowly, figuring it'd take longer for him to be 'ready'...
''Yep! Looking at your movements, and your posture, I can see that your body has perfectly acclimated to this level!'' He gestured at Rhytid's stance, and it was a solid point, considering Rhytid had just been standing there, not even paying any attention to the gravity anymore in the first place. ''Hm, I suppose you're right.'' The Warrior Clansman shrugged, yet he held an eager grin on his face, wondering what the next level had to offer...
''Besides, it won't be good training if you don't feel any strain.'' Bulim smirked, putting his hands behind his back in a casual manner. Rhytid nodded in response, adding a light chuckle. ''You speak my language, Bulim.''
The elder's smirk grew slightly, ''Well, you were my student, after all.'' He said, glancing toward Rhytid. The Leader snickered, glancing toward Athora and giving him a nod of approval. ''Okay, the honor is yours, Athora.''
''Alright, it's decided then! Time to crank it up to TIMES TWENTY!''
