'He's pretty much seen everything I can do... I don't know what else he's looking for...'
Tomo thought to herself, her eyes searching his face as if she was a predator stalking her prey. Her closed fists opened up and with a deep breath, Tomo's own ki flared up around her. She was about to take off from her position when Natto's own ki surrounded him. The man took off from his position with ease, parting the sand as if it was water as he bolted it directly for Tomo. There would be no way to dodge his speed, so she would have to take the hit as best she could and hopefully surprise him. As the strike came, she focused her ki into both of her hands, bringing them down to catch Natto's punch in her hands. While she wasn't able to fully stop the blow, she was able to soften the impact by doing this. She winced as she was hit in the stomach, but was quick to retaliate by bringing up her knee to catch him in his own gut. All the while, her hands were clamped down onto his fist, hoping to keep him from dodging her.
"I can't say that... that I have any new tricks... but I'll do my best."
She said with a smirk, whether her knee connected or not.

Tomoroko flared her fiery-red ki aura, showing that she was ready to fight, which was exactly what Natto wanted to see, as he dashed forward with full-speed, more than twice her own. The girl went to intercept the attack with both her hands, reducing the damage output of the elbow attack to her stomach and was quick to counter with a knee strike to his own stomach, while still holding his arm, in order to stop him from avoiding the blow.
The young saiyan took the strike on his stomach, and growled as his body was bent due to the impact. – Ugh! – following that she said that while she may not have anything new up her sleeves, she was going to do her best, which made Natto’s smirk to come back to his face, taking the place of his pain expression. – Good! But you either beat me to the pulp, or you better get the hell away of melee range! – he said.
Following his words, he would release his right hand from holding his left fist that was giving sustenance to his elbow strike, and, by spinning his body to the left while stretching his right arm, moving towards Tomoroko as fast as he could.
His goal was to wrap his right arm around the young girl’s upper chest and neck and then force her to the ground. Should the arm hit her, he would immediately swing his leg forward, using his momentum to pull Tomoroko down with him to the ground, in a lariat with all his strength. He would fall to her side, but stop his fall with his other arm and landing on his knees, giving him some advantageous position, but would then wait for her reaction to see how she was about to behave. He knew she had some crazy battle instincts and wanted to see how she would handle herself when he started using his best moves. Word Count: 326 |

'I can definitely try beating you to a pulp...'
She thought to herself as she watched Natto react to her hit. It boosted her confidence in herself to see him actually get hurt in some way by her attack. Maybe there was a way she could beat him, she just had to be exceptionally smart about it... It was like back on Garea, she had to be the predator, and out maneuver her prey. She had to understand how he acted before she could track him, she had to see everything before she could form a plan of attack . Easy enough right? When Natto's arm suddenly came flying towards her, her brain shouted at her that she might be terribly terribly wrong. However her instincts were suddenly lit on fire as Natto's arm slammed into her, knocking her off her feet and sweeping her down onto the ground in one clean movement.
The girl gasped as the hit made it momentarily difficult to breath, and forced stars to flash before her eyes as she was quickly disoriented. However, as the predator she could not let her prey see that it had the advantage. She smirked as she moved her hands to grab the arm holding her down and quickly leaned forward to bite the offending arm. She hoped that the surprise of her action would cause Natto to let her go, in which case she would take the opportunity to fly back up to a standing position and use her Atomic Strike by channeling her energy into her left leg and round house kick him in the head.
However, if Natto did not react to her strange attack, she would reach out with her left hand, charge her key into it and then repeatedly blast the sand, kicking it up in both of their faces. However, as she did this, she would shut her eyes tightly and tilt her head away from what it was she was doing.

The lariat hit Tomoroko perfectly and he quickly threw her to the ground, taking out some of her air. To his complete and utter surprise, as he held her down with his arm around her neck, she did the unthinkable: she bit the shit out of his arm, making his eyes widen and his brows to arch. Dammit! He even dropped his jaw as he couldn’t believe what the heck was going on. As a reaction to that annoying pain, Natto pushed his arm away from her, back stepping as he got back up. – Ouch! What the heck, Tomoroko?! – he asked, as he was completely startled by her action. He never saw that coming, and to even think that someone would bite him, made him rethink about how much time it was interesting to keep someone on a lariat hold. ”Damn… Now I will have to take such a weird possibility into account!!” he thought to himself. However, his distraction would have a price. When he looked back at Tomoroko it was already too late as the only thing he saw was her foot infused with her red ki energy, aiming for a powerful roundhouse kick.
Natto was hit right on the face by her attack, that sent him keeling over himself, right through the ground, before he jumped back up, staring at her with a rather angry look on his face., with frowned eyebrows and gritted teeth. – Dick move, Tomoroko! Dick move! – he said in an even angrier tone. Natto flared his ghostly-white ki aura and immediately rushed forward. He was decided not to use any ki attacks, since he didn’t want to beat the young girl, he wanted her to improve, but he was starting to get tempted. ”Chill out! This is not about winning or losing!” he reaffirmed to himself.
Natto would approach close quarters again with his full speed and pretend to punch Tomoroko to the face. However, as his fist came close to her head, he would pull it back and propel his body forward with a hip trust to land a very powerful knee strike to the stomach. Should the attack hit, Tomoroko’s body would probably double, leaving her back open to a sledgehammer to the ground with quite a lot of strength, and he would definitely go for that. ”Don’t get cocky! You are doing great! But let’s see how you handle this now!” he said to himself, as he waited for the result of his attack. Word Count: 418 |

After hitting Natto in the head Tomo would have summersaulted backwards before pushing herself up into the sky again, avoiding the rough terrain that the sand provided. Not only because it made it more difficult for her to fight, but also because she kept thinking of one radical plan after another. The eyes she looked at Natto with seemed to be on the verge of her 'battle mode' that he had encountered the other day. She was focused, seeing only the battle but she wasn't out to kill him. She brought both hands in front of her, focusing her ki once more before she got ready to unleash a flurry of ki blasts down on Natto. However, before she even got the chance Natto flew up, closing the gap between them with incredible speed and swinging towards her face.
He looked incredibly angry, to which Tomo only smiled as she brought her hands up to try and catch his fist once more. However, the strike never connected with her face, and instead Natto's knee was driven deep into her cut. She would of gasped, or even cried out in pain but all of the air was quickly taken from her lungs as she doubled over, instinctively placing her hand over her stomach before taking in a large breath to try and regain her oxygen. The next strike was more expected, but she could hardly retaliate as both Natto's fists struck her back, knocking her straight out of the sky and towards the ground.
'Don't focus on only one thing girl... use your environment...'
A voice she didn't even remember penetrated her mind, a voice that felt so familiar she wasnted to cling to it and never stop listening to it. The voice was right though, and she had to act fast as the ground quickly approached. She brought her right hand forward and began firing one ki blast after another towards teh sandy ground she was headed towards. She was sure to close her eyes tightly and use her left hand to cover her head. The striked forced the sands to rise up high into the air while parting just enough to absorb Tomoroko's impact. However, whenever the blasts stopped, and the sand seemed to settle around them, Tomoroko was no where to be seen.
The young girl had burried herself alive, having taken in a large breath to last her until Natto came to investigate. Her right hand was still extended in front of her under the sand, and as soon as her scouter beeped, alerting her to Natto stepping over her, she would fire her Rail gun like it was a land mine and fly straight up through the sand to engage Natto in melee combat once more.

His attacks landed perfectly on the young saiyan girl. His first knee strike made her double and put her hands on her stomach, making her even more vulnerable to the powerful sledgehammer Natto threw at her. However, to his immense surprise, before she was about to hit the sand, she managed to recover and started firing ki blasts to it. ”Is she…” he acquired a thoughtful feature as he analyzed what she was doing and it was exactly what he suspected: she was trying to use the sand as cover. ”Clever!” He thought to himself, as he looked towards the mess of sand flying all over the place. Finally, after a couple seconds, the mess started to settle and there was no sign of Tomoroko on his sight, except for the point on the red lens of his scouter, pin-pointing her location, making him smirk to the corner of his mouth. ”I think she forgot about the scouter… And since she can’t hide her power level, she is still trackable.” he thought to himself.
So, instead of landing there to look at her, Natto put his left hand forward and started charging a blue energy sphere. When he was done charging it, he drew his arm back and then brought his hand forward and fired his energy sphere at the place his scouter indicated. It wasn’t exactly one hundred percent precise on the location, but close enough for it to cause damage when it exploded, if Tomoroko didn’t try to avoid it.
– Let’s see if you can hide! Spirit Cannon!! – he shouted, as he fired his ki attack. After that he would wait to see her reaction. If she was to charge against him, he would be ready to block her attack and prepare to engage in an exchange of blows. If she was unable to avoid the attack, he would wait and see how much damage was caused before deciding what to do with the training, following that. Word Count: 331 Tech PL: 8.646 Spirit Cannon [N1] Natto puts his hand forward and charges a blue energy sphere. Then he draws his arm back, and then he brings his hand forward and fires the attack at the opponent, inflicting a great deal of damage. |

Her scouter indicated that Natto's power level was moving, but the beeping noise she was expecting was very different from the one that she heard. Instead of a proximity warning, it blared out an alarm at the oncoming energy. Tomo would have cursed if it wouldn't let all the sand roll into her mouth. Her only way out, was exactly how she had planned to attack Natto in the first place seeing as she couldn't freely move in the confining sand. She fired off her Rail gun, the beam burning at the sand as it was created before launching forward towards Natto's beam. While it didn't hit the beam head on, it had collided just enough to connect.
Tomoroko had to quickly use the time her beam gave her to escape the confines of the sand, slowly flying up out of it's depths as she focused on maintaining her beam. Her rail gun hissed and whined as she pushed it as far as it would go before it was over-taken by Natto's beam. That's when Tomoroko took her chance and flew up high into the sky to dodge it, flaring her ki so that she could push herself as fast as she could go. Once she was safely away from Natto and his attack, she stopped, needing a moment to take in a few deep breaths. Her breathing was heavily labored, and she had to dust the sand from her face so that it wouldn't get in her eyes next time Natto came at her.
"Your attacks... are crazy..."
The young girl panted as her eyes darted from left to right, trying to figure out her next plan of attack. Sadly however, nothing immediately sprang up to mind, and her energy was quickly decreasing. She couldn't fire off any more beams as she had been told to try and keep those in reserve for their practice on beam struggles, and getting up close and personal would be foolish of her without a plan to immobilize him.
"I can't say I ... have any more... dirty tricks up my sleeve..."
She stated though just in case she shifted her body into a battle stance, hopefully ready for whatever Natto could dish out.

Tomoroko was really something and Natto would never cease to get impressed with her. She fired her Rail Gun agains Natto’s Spirit Cannon. Of course her blast wasn’t nearly enough to stop the Spirit Cannon, or even weaken it enough to make it less dangerous, but it was enough to buy her enough time to escape the explosion area, which she did by flying upwards as fast as she could, with her fire-red aura around her body. The explosion made a huge crater on the sand below them, making it fly towards all directions. Tomo could notice that if she was to be hit, she would be into some serious trouble. ”Very good!” he thought to himself, proudly smiling to Tomoroko.
She said, as she reached a good enough altitude that his attacks were crazy, and he smiled even more, responding her. – Well… That was the weak version of my planet buster technique, so you did a great job there! – he said. To be able to avoid a planet buster tier technique was quite a feat indeed, even if it was handicapped or weakened. The young saiyan girl was panting, and that was probably pretty much all she could manage to do on that training session, to save enough energy for a beam struggle. She admitted it when she said that she was out of aces up her sleeves, to which he nodded, chuckling a bit.
– That’s okay, Tomo… You did amazing! For real! – he said, proudly as he slowly flew backwards. – Now… Get ready for a beam struggle, okay?! Charge your attack as much as you can! When you are ready, I’ll fire my attack! – he said, with a smile on his face, as he stared at the girl. – By the way… The energy wave I’m about to use… I managed to create it thanks to meeting you… - he said, blushing a little when he said that. He didn’t prepare for it yet, as he was waiting for Tomoroko to charge her attack to its full potential. ”Come on… I want to see your full power!” he said to himself. Word Count: 358 |

"Thanks Natto... but I still... feel so sluggish... I can do better... I know I can."
She breathed, taking another deep breath and stabilizing herself so that she could stay hovering and not start dropping her altitude. She listened to what he had to say when he continued speaking, and tilted her head at his comment. Apparently he had a special beam attack that he had developed thanks to her? Had he copied her Rail Gun? Or maybe found a way to incorporate her Atomic Strike? No it wouldn't be anything like that... why copy a weaker technique? She guessed there was only one way to find out what it was....
She gave Natto a nod, indicating that she was ready to start their practice. She brought her right hand outstretched in front of her, and her left hand came up to support it, almost as if she was bracing her arm for the attack. Her hand was shaped as if she was pointing a fake gun at someone, but at the tip of her index finger a small red ball of energy began to form... growing and growing until it reached the size of a tennis ball. It wouldn't be enough though... he wanted her to fully charge her beam, to put in as much energy as she could to stand any sort of chance against his. Therefore, with that in mind she began channeling more and more energy into the beam, watching as the small ball continued to grow. The aura about the beam seemed to quiver and shake with the sudden addition of more power.
'Still not enough... I need to put more energy into it...'
She thought to herself as her left hand tightened its grip to hold her right arm steady as it prepared the Rail Gun.

Tomoroko was too hard on herself. Natto wasn’t nearly a quarter her strength when he was her age, and was still on Argavat, trying to survive in order to be able to conquer it with the full moon, while the young girl was already reaching a level far beyond the average elite saiyan warrior. And he knew she would grow even more. – Don’t be so harsh on yourself… You are doing great! You are great! – he said, blushing a little bit when he noticed that he had complimented her as a whole, instead of complimenting only her development. ”Stop blushing!” he criticized himself, scratching the back of his head while she prepared her attack.
Natto stood there, watching as she charged it quite a lot. It reached the size of the regular tennis ball, but she kept on pushing forward, making it grow larger, but Natto was not satisfied with it yet. – Come on! You can do better than that, you know it! – he said, as he slowly drew his right hand backwards to his right side, starting to charge an energy sphere that was surprisingly red in color. That was quite odd, since most of his attacks were in a bluish hue and red was a quite different color when compared to blue. He smiled when the energy sphere appeared on his hand and stared at the young girl. – See what I meant? – he chuckled a bit, as he waited for her to charge it a little more. He was slowing down the charge of his attack in order to give her time to finish, but by the looks of his attack, he wouldn’t wait much longer.
”Come on, Tomoroko! I want to see you surpassing my energy wave! I know you can!” he said to himself, as he anxiously waited for the beam struggle to begin. Word Count: 313 |

'No... he's wrong i'm not great... There's so much I can't do yet...'She thought to herself in frustration, pushing more and more energy into her rail gun as time went by. She eventually began frowning as her arm started to shake slightly with how much energy she was pumping through it. 'Stop holding back... I need everything... not enough...'She told herself once again as, for a brief moment, her red ki flared around her dangerously before disappearing back into her body. It was a waste of precious energy, energy she needed to channel for this attack. As she prepared her attack however, she soon found that her mind would suddenly swirl in a white mist as a voice seemed to enter her mind, a vision of a younger Tomoroko would stand there in the mist.... 'Hold it steady kid... no don't be an idiot and concentrate. You can't just flail your hand around like a toy gun, the Rail Gun technique can be extremely powerful if you learn how to use it. First you have your... hey are you even listening... Tomoroko!' The younger version of herself was suddenly smacked harshly onto the floor, a red beam firing off into the sky as the young girls eyes filled up with tears at being hit. She couldn't be any older that 6 or 7 years old....
'You'll get it one day kid but you have to stop being such a big baby. Stop holding back, be a true saiyan!' The white mist in her mind faded and as Tomoroko focused on her beam once more, it had suddenly tripled in size! Tomoroko stared intently at it as she kept pushing the beam to the limit... she didn't even realize that the memory that had just gone through her mind had caused her eyes to begin watering, assuming only that she was reaching her limit.

Tomoroko was finally being able to fully charge her attack, harvesting the maximum output of her potential, and Natto was proud of her for that, making his smile to widen while he continued to finish his basic charge for his attack. Natto, then, when Tomoroko’s attack had just finished charging, brought his right hand forward, firing the red-colored energy sphere that immediately took the form of an energy wave, heading straight to Tomoroko. If it was to hit at her, it was pretty clear that it would inflict a great amount of damage, even though it only had one third of Natto’s current power level.
– Fight me, Tomo! Shine Trigger!!! – he shouted as he fired his new ki attack, that scratched the skies as it approached her. Tomoroko had plenty of time to fire her ki attack against Natto’s energy wave, the only question being: was her attack strong enough to overcome Natto’s Shine Trigger? That question would be answered soon.
The young saiyan stared at her with a smile on his face, since he had plenty of faith in her ability to break through her limits. ”Don’t show me what you’ve got… Show yourself, Tomo! Become more confident in yourself!” he said inside his mind, cheering for the young saiyan girl. Word Count: 214 Tech PL: 8.646 Shine Trigger [N1] Natto draws his right hand back to his right side and charges a red energy sphere. Then, he brings his hand forward and fires the energy sphere in the form of an energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage. |

The tears that had begun to form in Tomoroko's eyes now slowly began to fall down the side of her cheeks as she brought her hand up higher to face Natto. She could almost feel as if a second pair of hands were holding her steady, and that was the feeling that caused her tears to fall freely. "Rail Gun!"She called out before releasing the energy bullet towards Natto's Shine Trigger. She was hearing everything he was saying to her, but she found that she couldn't answer, or wouldn't answer until this beam struggle was done. As her Rail Gun soared forward, it soon slammed into the similar red beam thrown at her by Natto. The two beams clashed with a loud bang before each beam attempted to over take the other. She began to doubt herself very quickly however as she watched the beams struggle, how was she expected to beat any form of attack thrown at her by Natto? 'Stupid kid... stop being a cry baby. You're a lot stronger than you think you are, keep it up.'There was that voice again, silently cheering her on, the invisible grip tightening around her wrist as if to reassure her she would be okay. Gritting her teeth, Tomoroko took an airborne step forward, pushing her beam further into Natto's until it finally pierced through the center of Natto's beam. It cut through it like a bullet passing through the air, soaring through Natto's energy beam with ease as it now sought out it's true target, Natto's chest.

The young saiyan girl was putting her everything on that beam struggle as she fired her Rail Gun putting quite a lot of emotion in that. ”I can feel her determination! It’s… Amazing!!” he thought to himself, as he kept on pushing his Shine Trigger forward, in hopes to sustain it for a bit longer, but Tomoroko’s power was quick to overcome his energy wave, piercing right through it. Finally, when she took an airborne step forward, she unleashed all her power, pushing the energy attack right through Natto’s ki energy wave. ”It is coming!” he thought, preparing himself for the impact as he quickly pulled back his hand that was firing the Shine Trigger, to cross it in front of his chest.
A big explosion took over the place, covering Natto in smoke. He scouter would still detect him there, he was still flying, meaning that he didn’t take a lethal injury, but he was indeed injured. As the smokescreen began to fade away, there he was, panting a little bit. His gloves were gone, due to the impact of the blast and his arms were moderately scorched due to having blocked the attack. Slowly Natto uncrossed his arms, bringing them to the side of his body. He had a concerned feature that slowly changed into a smile as he looked at her eyes.
– You did it… You pierced right through my attack… You managed to overcome my technique with your own power! – he said with a proud smile on his face as he slowly hovered towards her. – Phew… That was a quite intense training session, wasn’t it, Tomo? – he said, as he got close to her, up until he was no further than a couple feet away. – Can you see how much you are improving now? – he asked her kindly.

At this point Tomoroko was panting heavily, her altitude already starting to drop the minute her beam had connected with Natto. She brought her arm up to wipe at her eyes as he approached to erase any evidence of the tears that had shown up there. She forced a smile up to her lips, however you could definitely tell that she was exhausted.
"Yeah... that was pretty crazy... thanks Natto... I don't think I'll ever have another... chance to charge it that... much though."
She said with a light chuckle before slowly flying back down onto the ground where she sat down and sighed lightly, leaning back to try and catch her breath.
"I didn't think... I had that much power really... it was strange..."
she pondered the thought of just how much power she had channelled into the attack. Had it really all been her power? What about that voice she had heard? Wasn't part of her strength thanks to him? and thanks to Natto too? She started to feel like her whole life, she had been brought up to where she was thanks to others influence, never on her own strength, her own power... maybe this was the first step towards something different... She became determined to keep climbing in strength on her own power, she wouldn't just rely on others like Natto to help her... she had to push herself too.
