Callion soared through the clouds, the wind whipping through his spiky black hair as he flew towards Kame's House. As a Saiyan, flying was as natural to him as breathing, and he loved the feeling of the wind rushing past his face as he soared through the sky.


He had been away from Earth for some time now after his death, after only just returned recently to deal with the events that had unfolded at South City, during his time in Otherworld, Callion was now under a new Master of the one figure head called King Kai, where he honed his fighting skills and search for new opponents to challenge. But now, he was finally returning home, eager to see his old friends and reunite with his former mentor, Master Roshi.


As he flew closer to Kame's House, Callion felt a rush of excitement and anticipation. He remembered all the times he had trained under Master Roshi's guidance, learning powerful techniques, and perfecting his combat skills. He could not wait to show his former master how far he had come since their last meeting.



To the unitiated, Master Roshi had been a mentor to Callion, perhaps his first student that the old Turtle Master hadn’t received since the days of Goku and the Gang, it was through Roshi that he started teaching him about honour, respect, and the value of life. Through his teachings, Callion had learned to channel his immense power in a way that didn't just crush his enemies, but protected the innocent and preserved the balance of the world.



However, just as he arrived at the Lookout – He saw something, or someone standing closeby to the Kame House door; a female… With a Tail. He smirked at the sight of the person. A fellow Saiyan like him. “Well, well. This is quite the sight.” Callion spoke softly, with a quite the amount of an tired expression on the Saiyan’s face, looking as though he went through hell and back, happy to be away from the trials and ordeal that was at South City. “Never expected my former Master to be taking up new Students. Hey there newbie.”



Callion greeted the new face, genuinely curious to meet another Saiyan on Earth. He could sense that she was strong, and he wondered what kind of training she had received. He flew down to where she was standing, landing gracefully on the ground.



"Name's Callion," he introduced himself, offering her a friendly smile. "I'm a Saiyan, just like you. I've been away for some time, but I've come back to Earth to visit my old friends and see my former Master, Roshi. And you are?"


He extended his hand towards her, waiting for her to introduce herself. As he looked at her, he couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie. He knew how it felt to be a Saiyan living on a planet of weaker beings, always looking for a challenge and a chance to grow stronger. He wondered what kind of adventures they could have together, and what kind of foes they could face.

He was excited to find out.


Callion decided to quietly get a feel of this new female Saiyan's power level, he could sense that she was quite strong as it is. No surprise being a newfound student under Master Roshi himself, why it felt like only yesterday that Callion himself was in her shoes, eager to learn and improve his skills. As he concentrated, he could feel the immense power flowing through her veins, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement. He had spent some time training and honing his skills in Otherworld, and yet this newcomer seemed to have a natural talent for combat that he could only dream of. He wondered how much more she could grow, and how much more powerful she could become.



"Interesting," Callion said, as he withdrew his hand – provided if she had accepted the handshake. "You're quite powerful for someone so new to our planet... Assuming, of course. I can sense a great deal of potential within you."


He paused for a moment, considering his next words carefully. He wanted to make sure that he did not come off as arrogant or condescending, but he also wanted to share his own experiences with her.


"You know, when I first came to Earth, I was just like you," he said, his voice taking on a more serious tone. "Full of energy and eager to prove myself. But over time, I realized that there is more to being a Saiyan than just raw power. You have to learn to control your strength, to use it wisely, and to protect the people you care about."


He looked at her, his eyes meeting hers.



"I don't know what kind of training you've received so far, but if you're willing to listen, I can offer you some advice. Maybe we can even spar, if you're up for it."

Callion nodded as he listened to Tanya's words about their similarities in thinking. It was refreshing to meet someone who shared his values, especially amongst the Saiyan race. He had grown tired of the constant competition and obsession with power. "I agree, Kuri. It's good to meet a fellow Saiyan who values protection and defense over destruction," Callion said with a smile. He felt a sense of kinship with Tanya, despite only just meeting her.

When Kuri brought up the idea of a spar, Callion's eyes lit up. He hadn't had a good fight in a while, and the prospect of sparring with a fellow Saiyan was thrilling. However, he was interrupted by Master Roshi, who had other plans for their training. Callion turned his attention to Roshi as he explained his plan for Tanya's training. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that they wouldn't be able to spar right away, but he understood the importance of the Kamehameha in their training.

"Of course, Master Roshi. I would be honoured to show Kuri what the Kamehameha looks like in Saiyan hands," Callion said with a respectful bow. He was eager to show off his skills and help Tanya in her training. He turned to Kuri with a grin, "Are you ready to see the Kamehameha in action, Kuri?" he asked. He could sense her excitement and eagerness to learn, which made him even more determined to help her succeed.


But then, he stopped for a moment… An idea – a lightbulb if you will – flickered in his mind. The male Saiyan took a good long look at Kuri from head to toe, seeing that she had recently done a fair amount of working out to get stronger, and there was certainly no denying just how much she has progressed. But he wanted to test her abilities more, and so his brain got to work with a plan. That was when he had it and had a cheeky smirk on his face, he knew EXACTLY what to do with this situation, to really spice things up between the two pure-blooded Saiyans.


“Tell you what… I got an idea, we can turn this into a challenge for you.” Callion proceeded to open his left palm and showed it facing Kuri for her to see. “If you can land five blows on anywhere of my body, I will teach you the Kamehameha…” The male Saiyan proposed to the idea of wanted to see just how far he can push the female student of Master Roshi. He then proceeded to open his other palm and showed it Infront of her with the other hand. “If you can land ten blows on me, I will show you how to unlock a new ability that can be unlocked…”


Callion then put his hands down, his face turned serious for a moment. “But if you can land fifteen blows on me… I will give you a goal to reach. One that will give you the power needed to protect this planet and for you to become the hero that I know you can be…” The Saiyan finally suggested, giving her three challenges in one for Tanya to complete, to see if she truly had what it takes to not only land the blows, but to also reach the ultimate goal that Callion had set for her – to path the way for her to become a true fighter with her potential realised. No doubt his former master had been expecting a simple demonstration of the Kamehameha, but this was something else entirely. The idea of a initiating this challenge excited him, and he could feel his adrenaline starting to pump at the thought of Kuri landing blows on Callion, he really wanted to see just how much capable the female full-blooded Saiyan really was.


Callion already looked at Tanya with a sense of awe and respect. He was basically looking at himself during his first initial visit onto the planet earth. He could sense the power and determination within her, and he knew that she was destined for greatness, and he knew that the first road to self-improvement in order to become such an important figure in the future was to demonstrate ones capabilities in combat, but now it falls to Kuri to take on the challenge, to push through and see if she can land any kind of blows against the former student of Master Roshi. Callion waited, his eyes locked onto Tanya's, his body tense with anticipation. He wanted to see just how she would react to his challenge, and if she was up for the task.


It has been quite some time since he had sparred with a full-blooded Saiyan, and the prospect of testing her abilities to see what she was capable of was thrilling. A part of him assumed that landing one blow was going to be hard, but fifteen? That might be pulling a stretch. But he played with the idea of showing Tanya the way of unlocking a new ability and reaching a goal that would help her become the hero he knew she was achieving, the taste of power, the chance to learn a new technique, clearly this was too tempting to pass up. If anything, if the roles were reversed, Callion would certainly take the offer up!


“So… What say you?”

“Heheheh, now THAT’S the spirit, just what I want to hear from a student of Master Roshi.” Callion said with a mixture of praise as well as pride for the female Saiyan who looked absolutely thrilled in the idea to take part in the damage, and while Master Roshi expected this sort of occurrence to happen with Saiyans being taught under his wing, maybe – just maybe – things won’t escalate too far. Sure a storm here and there, tress buckling under the strain of their awesome power, but hopefully nothing too dangerous that could threaten the other inhabitants within the general area.



…



Well, at least Callion would know to dial it back down.





With a smile on his face, the Saiyan Monk entered into a fighting style just as he watched Tanya bean to power up, seeing the rush of aura envelop all over her body. Well, well, it looked as though this will be quite the interesting challenge match for Callion, at least he knows he won’t have to go TOO easy on her, but just enough for her to earn the precious rewards of not only learning the Kamehameha, but to show her the true potential of what lies in store for her in the foreseeable future. “Hmmm… You got quite the power inside of you, I can certainly give you that. But let’s see if my fellow Saiyan’s bite hurts more than her bark.” Callion cheekily grinned. Honestly for him, this will be the first TRUE enjoyable sparring in session he has had thus far ever since coming into contact with Athren, and this time he was providing the benefits of helping one of his own get stronger and earn her reward in the process.





Callion saw the sparkle in her eyes, that true determination of a Saiyan warrior ready to prove herself in battle, and it reminded him of his own youth and the thrill of combat. He took a deep breath and focused his ki, his own aura flaring up as he prepared to face Tanya head-on. "Alright, let's do this… Ready… BEGIN!" he roared, launching himself forward with a powerful kick aimed at Tanya's midsection, whilst at the same time, he saw her coming in landing in a blow to his stomach and a few to his face. Clearly, the two were completely on the same wavelength when it came to initiating early blows with their opponent, that much was certain in this sparring session. The two Saiyans exchanged blows, their auras colliding with explosive force as they pushed each other to their limits.



As the fight went on, Callion began to see the potential in Tanya. She had raw power and determination, that much was or certain, but lacked finesse and technique. No doubt early steps in her initial beginnings in being trained under the wise and… well… Questionably sane Master Roshi. So, Callion decided to take a step up, motioning his whole body into the attack, Tanya would see Callion going in moving his whole body as he throws two punches towards her face, a kick to her left thigh, and even using his tail to slap her face around on several occasions. Yes, even the Male Saiyan’s very own tail was used not only as a weapon but a fully functional limp of his own body – a third arm if you will. Though Callion assumed that Tanya was a quick learner, the fire that burns in both of their blood, and he could see that the female full-blooded Saiyan was progressing well in the challenge.





“Well now, in that initial starting fight alone, you managed to land three blows on me. Not bad, not bad at al! You’re already two punches away to learning Master Roshi’s Kamehameha. But don’t you think I’ll be going easy on you kinswoman!” Callion grinned wickedly with a smirk on his face, as he began to go on the offensive this time, going just a little bit harder to really add some fuel to the fire that was the challenge that he layed out for Tanya. “Come on now, think of it. Picture that technique in your mind. You are two steps away! SHOW ME! SHOW ME THE POWER OF THE SAIYAN RACE THAT FLOWS THROUGH YOUR VEINS! SHOW ME HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO LEARN THIS POWER!” Callion bellowed, the very air quivered as he shouted, as he charged towards Tanya with renewed vigor. The Saiyan Monk wanted to see Tanya prosper, to become strong and grow as an individual person in her own right, perhaps even stronger than Callion himself! He was going to see her potential to the fullest and push her to her limits.



Blow after blow, their punches and kicks caused the ocean beneath them to quake, Callion giving a little harder punches and kicks that were aiming all over Tanya’s body, and then at the same time, decreasing the sheer force of the punches just enough for her to dodge and learn in her own way. He recognised that for a warrior and student of Master Roshi to adapt in the art of combat, a little force and restraint was necessary in order to see such a pupil blossom and ascend into new levels of power.

Each punch radiated with power, the kicks static with the energy of the ki's combined with Tanya and Callion. Their sparring session and training combination in this moment was nothing short but incredible. Callion was testing every ounce of power that she was giving, and he could see that she was DESPERATE in wanting not just the technique of the Kamehameha, but the very special reward that was teasing her if she could land fifteen blows on the male Saiyan. Her words spoke true with desire, ambition and determination, something he was all to happy to oblige! Was Tanya a Soulmate? Possibly some distant cousin or little sister that he never knew? Probably not, and yet their personality and desire to grow stronger was completely in sync with one another, it’s hard to believe that was the case, and goodness, her assaults were truly something else! Callion had a big grin on his face throughout the session thus far, feeling the blows that she was laying out to him. “Then I better not catch you slacking off, if you want to know what I am offering, then you better make sure you’re giving me one-hundred percent of your effort, and more!”



The Saiyan said with growl in his own right, for every blow he gave to Tanya, despite the small increase of strength he was using in order to make sure she wasn’t slacking off, she was returning in kind, it was honestly so refreshing to see someone wanting to know THIS much about learning the technique and the abilities she will no doubt be able to learn on her own. With his tail coiled around her waist once he managed to use his hands to grab a hold of Tanya’s arms, temporarily stopping her from her further onslaught, the male full-blooded Siyan spun her around and around with a mixture of fast and strong before throwing her with his ridiculously long tail towards the ocean below, attempting to cause the water to erupt upwards, as if a bomb had exploded from beneath the cool ocean waters. If successful, Callion had given him a wide birth from the female Saiyan. “Well now, that’s six blows she managed to land on me so far, colour me surprised. She is already a quarter of way there… I guess she has earned the right to know the Kamehameha…” Callion said, placing both hands on his hips, resting for just a small moment closing his eyes.



“I guess, that means that the easy difficulty can now be switched to medium. Let’s see how good she is with dodging. Don’t want to give her too much of a respite.”



In that moment, once the male Saiyan allowed a few seconds to catch his breath, both ki energy balls formed in his hands as he began to fire a series of ki energy barrage into the ocean below, assumingly where he hurled Tanya downward with his tail.

“ATATATATATATATATATATATAT!!”

Callion yelled, his hands moved like a pistons pumping one energy ball after another, a series of ki Gatling bullets were impacting the water. So far, Callion had deduced that Tanya was quite the exceptional fighter, a warrior with an impressive combination of strength and speed, but now he decided to test the woman’s speed and mobility. Once the ki energy balls made impact with the water and floated down to a certain altitude, they exploded, causing medium size explosions, as if they erupted in the water like mines. One ki ball explosion after another, the male Saiyan continued to fire them straight down into the water to see if she had what it takes to truly go and land fifteen blows.



“The choice is yours Kuri! Either move and get out of the water, or find a way to overcome this attack! The choice is yours, but I don’t know about you, but I am sure Saiyan’s can’t hold their breath forever!” Callion snickered with a toothy grin on his face, he was really enjoying this fight and was eager to see how Tanya would respond to his new tactic.



With this increase in difficulty the male pure-blooded Saiyan was giving to Tanya, he wanted to witness more than just the speed and mobility that she no doubt have, but also her intelligence. To be a warrior – a true warrior – one must have more than just brawn on their side, but the brains in order to determine the best course of action. He wanted to witness her resolve in analysing his current ki blasting attack pattern, to see if she was capable of looking for any weaknesses she can use to exploit her current teacher and fellow Saiyan. Whether this involved observing the trajectory and timing of the ki energy balls whilst she was moving away from when they exploded, to even anticipating how long it takes for them to said explode. Callion continued to fire his ki energy barrage into the water, watching carefully for any sign of movement from Tanya. He knew that this tactic would not be enough to defeat her, but that was not imperative, what WAS important, is the means to test her limits and see how she responded under pressure.



As he fired his energy balls, Callion observed Tanya closely by sensing her energy, looking for any signs of weakness or hesitation. He could see that she was quick on her feet there was no denying that factor in this training session, he wanted to see if she was capable of moving swiftly away from each explosion and dodging with her already established impressive agility. However, he also wanted to witness her taking a more defensive and intelligence approach, focusing on evading his attacks rather than trying to counterattack at this time. He’d only allow her to counterattack when Callion would witness her showing the brainpower to overcome this current obstacle.

Callion felt his blood pumping as Tanya launched a barrage of her own Ki blasts towards him. He smirked as he quickly dodged them, impressed with her quick thinking and ability to adapt in the midst of battle. It was clear that she had trained with Master Roshi and it showed in her ability to think on her feet. He could see the determination in her eyes and he could not help but feel impressed. She was a worthy student and opponent, a true Saiyan warrior. There was no denying at this point, that even now – in this Medium difficulty for Tanya, he still had been holding back on her, but it was clear that she was more than capable of handling more of his power. In Callion’s own way, he could also sense the adrenaline coursing through her veins, and he knew that she was running on pure instinct and reaction at this point. “Aaaah, there it is. There is that intelligence I was waiting to see. So, you CAN think on your feet. By far one of the most important survival skills that will serve you well on this planet, I can promise you that Kuri.” Callion said, impressed by her mentality in the heat of the moment.



As they clashed again, Callion could feel Tanya's power growing, and he knew that she had the potential to become an incredible warrior. He respected her dedication to protecting the Earth and could see that she was a true Saiyan, just like himself and there was no denying that even though the two had only just met and agreed to this challenge, he was impressed with her progress, and he knew that she had the potential to become a great warrior, and perhaps Callion could not help but feel a sense of excitement. He had been looking for someone to train and fight with since returning to Earth from Otherworld, and it seemed like he had finally found a worthy opponent in Tanya. Indeed, there was a great deal and sense of camaraderie with Tanya. She understood the way of the Saiyan, the thrill of battle and the desire to constantly improve oneself. It was rare to find someone who shared these ideals, especially on a planet like Earth where the people were mostly weak and peaceful. Not that there was anything wrong with that, and yet at the same time with the changing of faces both good and evil, there comes a time that there must be people to rise up to the occasion and to become stronger than before.



At this point, their sparring had become more than just a test of strength. It had become a bonding experience between two Saiyans who shared a common goal of protecting the planet they now called home. Callion had been looking for someone to push him to his limits and he had found that in Tanya. He could sense her determination to catch up to him in strength or even surpass him, and he was more than willing to help her achieve that goal. He knew that the stronger she became, the better equipped she would be to protect the planet. As they continued to spar, Callion couldn't help but wonder that perhaps it is time to really take the difficulty up to the Hard Mode. He had been holding back his full power, not wanting to overwhelm her too quickly. But now, as they fought, he could see that she was more than capable of handling it.

Perhaps it was time to show her what he was truly capable of. As they separated for a moment, Callion took a deep breath and focused his energy. His aura flared up around him, the power within him surging to new heights.



“Heheheh… Alright Krui… Enough playing games now… You managed to land ten blows onto me… So, as a reward… Allow me to show you a power that can be unlocked, now that you hit the ten blow mark…”



With that instance. Callion moved with incredible speed away from Tanya. His eyes closed, and his aura Calm, floating in mid-air with stillness about him. He took a deep breath in and exhaled out, in preparation. In order to transform into such a power, Callion dug deep into his emotional and anger state, and what better way to do so than to take an instance of his past on Earth… His own death at the hands of Liari, being powerless as he watched from the Heavens whilst training under King Kai, losing comrades in the South City and goodness knows how many lives lost…



In that moment, Callion roared, his very voice causing a shockwave vibration that causes tress to quiver, the ocean waters to erupt violently, and the clouds to disperse, as though an invisible nuclear bomb had exploded in that general area.



“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”



In that moment, the once pure white aura ignited into a fiery yellow and orange colour, causing Callion’s entire skin to turn into an yellow golden colour. The Saiyan’s hair starts to stand on end and become more spiky, his black lion mane hair remains the same colour, but now with a red tint. Even his eyes have now become fully white. Callion had now just transformed into the Promise power of the False Super Saiyan before Tanya’s very eyes, and if this wasn’t a dire warning that the male Saiyan had just initiated a very hard difficulty, then the female fellow pure-blooded Saiyan was going to immediately realise that going to land the last five blows on this powered up Saiyan was going to be the hardest she has ever gone to face. What she managed to do now was but a candle to the fire that was going to be brought before her.



Steam hissed out from his nose from the intensity of the power Callion was demonstrating before her. He looked at his hands, clenching and opening them several times, before slowly turning his gaze towards Tanya, now having her full undivided attention. Their was a growl that escaped from Callion’s lips, the sharp look of his face glaring at the female Saiyan, his ridiculously long tail flowed freely and violently in the embrace of the power.



“So Kuri… You are at the home stretch… Five more blows to finally complete the challenge…”



Callion spoke with a cold tone in his voice, taking this challenge seriously in order to dramatically increase his power for this final occasion. In a sheer display of speed, power, and control. Callion moved with a frightening pace towards Kuri, landing a powerful uppercut to her stomach and performed a full roundhouse kick to her head, attempting to send her flying towards an uninhabited island that had several mountain ranges.



The male pure-blooded Saiyan slowly descended whilst still remaining in the air, his eyes locked on where he attempted to send Tanya into that mountain range on the quiet island.



“I’m not going easy on you anymore… You want that last reward so badly? Then you better give me everything that you have… Show me what you got Kuri.”

Callion looked on in amazement as Tanya pushed him to his limits. He had been holding back, waiting for the right moment to unleash his true power. And now, as he felt Tanya's aura pushing him back, he knew that moment had come. He could see the awe in Tanya's eyes as he powered up, and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. This was one of the promised powers he had been keeping hidden, the power that only a select few had ever seen. He knew Tanya was strong, but he wanted to show her just how powerful a Saiyan could be. Callion could sense her hesitation as his aura pushed her back, but he knew she was up for the challenge. Afterall, she had the blood of a Saiyan – completely understandable in her position to feel such emotions on her part- and he had been waiting for this moment, and he wasn't going to hold back anymore.



More and more, Callion could feel the kinship between them, and he knew that this spar was pushing them both to their limits. Dare one say, even with such a small time of getting to know one another, he saw a little sister figure in her, and the male pure-blooded Saiyan wanted her to grow as both a fighter and an individual. He watched as Tanya looked at herself, trying to understand the power that he possessed. He had kept this hidden from her, just as by design of this very challenge, the very way Callion had hoped it to be. But now, it was time for her to see what she was truly capable of achieving. The easy gloves were off, and he could tell that Tanya was ready to push herself to her limits.

Callion's new form was incomplete, and he knew that Tanya sensed it too. Though that was the exact nature of the False Super Saiyan form; by design, power and appearance it is a Semi-Transformation to the true Super Saiyan form at best. It had power, there was no denying that, but as it was an incomplete form, it only lasted for so long. If anything, this was the perfect timing at it’s finest, he waited for the right moment in this challenge to reveal the very glimpse piece of his power. He had pushed Tanya to her limits, and he could sense the kinship between them growing stronger. Tanya was far from finished, and he could tell that she was ready to kick it up a notch.



He could not help but chuckle as Tanya let out a brief laugh. This was what he had been waiting for, a true battle between two Saiyan warriors. He could feel Tanya's aura reigniting, and he knew that she was ready to fight. He could sense the determination in her, and he could not wait to see what she was truly capable of. Callion knew that Tanya was a talented fighter, but he also knew that she had been held back by her own doubts and fears. He wanted to show her that she could achieve greatness, just like he had.



As Tanya charged towards him, Callion powered up, his aura becoming even more intense. He could sense Tanya's surprise at his power, and he knew that she was ready to take this fight to the next level. He could sense her determination, and it only made him more excited to see what she was truly capable of. With a grin on his face, Callion charged towards Tanya, their fists colliding in a burst of energy. He could feel Tanya's power growing with each punch, and he knew that she was finally unleashing her true potential. This was what he had been waiting for, a true challenge that would push him to his limits. All the time Callion, power and speed allowed him to dodge each punch that she threw in his direction, not longer making this an easy fight by any stretch of the imagination, and his blows in his False Super Saiyan form were going to be sore in the morning for Tanya! As they continued to trade blows, Callion knew that Tanya was giving it her all. He could sense her determination to push past her limits, just like he had done. He could feel their kinship growing stronger with each passing moment, and he knew that Tanya was destined for greatness.



This was what it meant to be a Saiyan warrior, to constantly push oneself to be stronger, to always be ready for any challenge that came their way. And he knew that Tanya was ready for that challenge, that she was ready to face any foe that came her way. As they continued to battle, Callion could feel their kinship growing stronger with each passing moment. This was what it meant to be a Saiyan warrior, to fight with everything you had, to never give up, no matter what the odds, and as they fought, Callion knew that he had found a true ally in Tanya. Together, they would be unstoppable, ready to face any challenge that came their way.

By now at this current time of events, remarkably enough Tanya landed three more blows, making the grand total of hits to Thirteen. A very promising feature he must admit, but now she was knocking on the very door of victory, the sweet and irresistible taste of absolute power, even as Callion had been dodging, weaving and bobbing through – at least – ninety-five percent of her attacks through the Semi-transformations enhanced speed and mobility alone, and his blows caused the air to vibrate from every time his fist made a connected blow to Tanya, just as how the female Saiyan managed to land three blows to him.



“Even in this form… You managed to land Three hits…”



Callion sounded impressed, like an older brother being so proud of his little sister’s abilities.



“But now the hour is it hand. Two more blows await, and I will reveal to you, your first Goal in life to achieve power beyond comprehension… Can you do it? Do you have what it takes to truly go beyond!? SHOW ME YOUR DETERMINATION TO GO ALL THE WAY KURI!!”

Callion watched as Tanya continued to push herself, determined to see the full extent of this new form. Her determination was admirable, and the male pure-blooded saiyan could not help but feel a sense of pride in her. She had come so far from the soft-hearted girl he first met, and now she was a true warrior, fighting with everything she had. He respected her for her unwavering commitment to protect the planet, and he saw in her a true warrior spirit. Despite his own incredible power, he was impressed by Tanya's tenacity and fighting skills. “Now this… This is true Saiyan pride…” Callion thought to himself whilst in his False Super Saiyan form, knowing deep down that Tanya had earned his respect and honour, and the very thought of seeing this proud woman grow stronger only solidified that feeling even more so, and above all else, even now in this sparring session to prove her worth…


He was proud of her.


Tanya attacked, Callion easily dodged her kick and blocked her punch with his forearm. He could sense her desperation to see his full form and it amused him. But he was not going to make it easy for her. He wanted to see just how far she could push herself. "You're not holding back anymore," Callion remarked, a glint in his eye. As Tanya attempted to land a strong, solid kick to his stomach, Callion blocked that attack with ease, a small smirk playing on his lips. He was holding back, but he could see that Tanya was starting to tire. He knew that she was desperate to see the full extent of her power, and he respected her for that.

"You don't quit, Kuri," Callion said, his voice calm and measured. "It is brave to keep fighting against a stronger opponent, but remember: You must learn to adapt to your opponent, to anticipate their moves and strike when the opportunity presents itself, even when the odds are stacked against you." When she followed up with a punch to his stomach, Callion allowed her to land the hit. He knew she needed to see the full form of his power, and he was willing to let her try… Now, there was only one more hit to go.

However, Callion would not make it easy for her. As Tanya began her aggressive assault again, Callion dodged and weaved, using his superior speed to keep her on her toes. He could see that Tanya was running on empty, but he also knew that Saiyans were capable of pushing beyond their limits. He wanted to see if she had it in her to go further.

As Tanya jumped back, Callion could see the exhaustion on her face. He knew she had given it her all, but he also knew that there was more to come.

"Kuri," he said, his voice low and steady. "You have fought well, but you are not done yet. You have more power within you, I can feel it. Do not give up now, push yourself further. I want to see what you're truly capable of."

With those words, Callion prepared himself for one final round of battle. He knew that Tanya was capable of great things, and he was excited to see what she would accomplish next. Callion continued to block her attacks, but he could see that she was starting to get stronger, her hits landing with more force. He knew that she was close to reaching her goal, but he also knew that she needed to keep pushing herself if she wanted to achieve it.

"You're getting closer, Kuri," Callion said, dodging one of her punches. "One more hit. Just one more and you’re there… Do not you dare surrender on me now… You can feel the exhaustion in you, I can see it in your eyes… This is it, the very moment that can determine who you are…"

As the fight continued, Callion could see the determination in Tanya's eyes, the same determination that he had seen in all the great Sayian warriors he had fought alongside. He knew that Tanya had the potential to be one of the greatest Sayian warriors of all time, and he was excited to see where her journey would take her. “So tell me, Kuri, who are you…” Callion asked a philosophical and meaningful question to Tanya, this right now in this moment became more than just learning the Kamehameha and what awaited her first goal to reach…


This was about defining who SHE is as a person, a woman, a Saiyan.



Callion's eyes never left Tanya's as he continued to speak. "This fight is more than just physical strength. It's about who you are, and what you stand for. Are you a warrior who will give up when the going gets tough, or are you a warrior who will fight to the end, no matter the odds?"

The male Saiyan noticed Tanya's breathing was heavy and her muscles ached, but he could see that she was refusing to give up, pushing her body beyond it’s limits. He was proud that she had come too far to let exhaustion defeat her. Callion could see the fire in her eyes, and he knew that she had what it takes to be one of the greatest Saiyan warriors of all time – at least in his eyes. "You have the potential to be one of the greatest Saiyan warriors to ever live, Kuri," Callion said, his voice filled with conviction. "But that potential means nothing if you don't have the heart to back it up. So, I ask you again, who are you?"


That was the moment when Callion raised a single hand to halt the sparring session for just this one, single moment. Callion stepped back and gestured for Tanya to take a breath. "Take a moment to reflect on that question. Your answer will reveal a lot about yourself and your motivations as a warrior. Are you fighting for yourself, for your family, for your people? Or perhaps you're fighting for something deeper, a sense of purpose or justice that drives you forward. Whatever your answer may be, remember it always, for it will guide you through the battles to come. Do not answer it to me aloud. Answer yourself inside you."

Callion paused, observing Tanya's expression. "I see the answer in your eyes, Kuri. You know who you are, and that knowledge will make you an even greater warrior. Let us continue our training, and may you continue to grow stronger with each passing day." That is when he slowly once more got back into his fighting stance.


“One more blow awaits you… When you are ready… We can end this.”
