May Sat cross legged outside the grand palace overlooking the cliffs and the steep cliff that was near it. She had been here for hours listening into to the wind blow through the deep canyons down below all the while she practiced balancing a rock in front of her with the least amount of ki possible. It was another Ki focusing exercise meant to increase the flow of her Ki and let her control her power in the middle of battle without losing focus.
After weeks of doing it she was beginning to notice many different things much like Cherros had told her would happen. While he had not explained exactly would happen he had hinted at them and now she understood why he had only hinted. Learning them as she went was more enlightening and if he had warned her she might have tricked herself into those thoughts. First over all she was more powerful as she could control herself on a whole new level and unlike before control her power into points. The second thing she noticed is she could start focusing her Ki into tighter stronger threads or in more commonly known methods blasts. Although she was not there yet to make it worthwhile but that was yet.
This went on for several hours until she could hear a whistling sound from nearby from some sort of instrument that caused her to open her eyes. She found it much easier to control her Ki even when she was not completely focused on her task like trying to exam what her teacher was currently doing with some sort of round instrument. The tune was soothing to her and she suddenly remember something her mother used to sing to her and it made her smile as she remembered Zaks rough voice trying to be gentle. Her mother was many thing but very rarely could the word soft be used for her slowly she kept thinking of other things before the rock trembled almost falling from her hold before she refocused on it. Looking at her teacher she saw the smirk on his face and it infuriated her to no end to realize the songs were Songs her mother had taught her! How did he know them!!! He was deliberately distracting her without her even realizing it!”” Knock that off! DID you think it funny to distract me with my child hood lullabies? “” No one was even around when May was a child how the hell he knew them…Ren. He had watched her the other day tuck little Ren to sleep in the palace after training. How dare he!
She could not stop her grow that came out between her teeth as she glared at him. Her time with Ren was her own and no one had the right to get between her and her brother or twist there time together. Oh she could not even touch her teacher that she knew for a fact. But that didn’t meant she would never get even with him for this and a smile soon found its way to her face that even slightly made her unwitting teacher shiver. She could not help but picture all the ways she could get even with him for this. “” Teacher are you cold? It is a little chilly here and if I remember your home world was temperate planet?””
Cherros Glared at the girl and how impudent she was! Making a comment about his destroyed planet! All the while with that smile on her face.”” You know you’re off tune when you sing to your little brother. Your Maid sings far better. I think you should let her do it from now on.”” He smirked when she let out another growl and preceded to ignore him. She always got touchy if he spoke of anything about Ren even a helpful suggestion to picture the rock as him so that she didn’t drop had angered her. Although he had learned she had a mean streak with those she hated she also had an adorable gentleness about her with those she cared for. Maybe a little bit playful or teasing but you were in or out with her and nothing in between. Anyone else that didn’t belong to those groups were ignored whenever possible or avoided. “” It has been 5 hours I think it is time for a break. Good job keeping your head about you your almost ready to be finished with this training so I can teach how best to apply that sort of training.
He waited until the princess stood up and proceeded to where he was before he kept speaking.”” When we start again I will be teaching you how to condense your power properly so you can fire even tighter beam at your foes. It will use up more ki but it will be more powerful and truthfully when you combined your demon Magic to it will only grow even more so.””
May tried to picture such attacks and the idea stuck as thing small Ki beams that could pierce through larger blast but even then it didn’t seem to fit. “” I do not understand. Sharpening your Ki is not enough otherwise most warriors would use Ki swords much more than they already do. Or other such ability’s. So there has to be more to it than just that. Or did you mean more ki into a smaller area?”” She was surprised when he chuckled at her and raised a single finger up “” Precisely. As you grow stronger this is natural as you gain easier flow of power of KI and a larger pool. What I am teaching you is to force it even higher but without those advantages. It will drain you quicker but you will be able to fight at a higher standard for at least a little while. Combined with your Demon Magic you are going to be a lot stronger than your power level would suggest. Now it is time for you to train your little heart out as your mother won’t be able to protect you from everything out there forever. Now let’s pick back up tomorrow shall we?
The following days fell into a pattern for the two as May was taught new and more challenging ways to channel her ki while he tried to break her concentration. Very quickly she learned to ignore him even with his taunting and constant annoying tactics to distract her. Of course the final few lessons that all changed when his distraction started to be a physical issue. It started off small with small rocks thrown at her or him touching her head or back. To sudden blows to she knew were coming most of the time but she knew exactly what he was aiming for and had to admit it was working. Now she was gaining the ability to control her focus no matter what was happening even sparing she could maintain or summon up her Ki quickly in its empowered state.
But for the Saiyan princess that is also were she met another one of Cherros students another Mercenary named Oats. He at first hated May and gave great delight in some of the harsher training he got to help with to teach the Princess how to focus but that all changed after one little interaction while there master was away.
“”Come on Saiyan Show me how tough you are! Your kind has such an impressive track record of leaving other worlds in ruins and here you are struggling just after a few hits”” Oats didn’t care that he had hit her hard as he could or that those hits were in vital spots. When Natto and the others had destroyed his world they hadn’t cared what they destroyed or who. His mother or brother both perished under their assault. Here was there princess trying to learn there secrets! He would never let that happen. Not to these filthy Saiyans. His anger made him once again throw a punch into her Ribcage while she tried to maintain a large Ki Blast over her head. Her cry of pain made him hesitate for a moment remembering similar cries of his people. “” I Won’t QUIT! I can’t quit! My little brother no... Everyone sees me as my mother’s daughter strong and powerful. I am not yet.I am barely a match to some of the elite soldiers much less the honor guard.”” A Little sob escaped before she could pull herself together”” They don’t see the scared little girl who doesn’t want to die again. I don’t want to go back to hell it’s horrible. “” She looked Oats in the eyes with more then a little anger “” No one deserves that…the Saiyans have a bad history and we made others suffer but we can be better…if not this generation then my little brothers generation will be guardians. They won’t let what happened to your people happen again. I swear if for no other reason to stop my people from joining me in hell. Ill become so strong the Saiyans will have to listen me.””
Her response surprised him. He had expected defiance or anger at him bullying her after all of her other snarky comments. But Fear of her own death was not what he had expected nor was the fact that she had actually been killed on earth and brought back to life. “” What do you mean? Do you meant to tell me you actually died? Then how are you here? Why do you get to come back and not my Family!”” The princess turned away from him and spoke slowly.”” Becuess I am a demon my mother could bring me back… a race called titans if you didn’t notice our size. Mother is more Saiyan than one but…I am almost fully one aside from my tail. I don’t get a heaven unlike your family. Just for being born I get sent to hell”” Slowly she looked up at him sadness and anger were fully mixed with each other or as one would call it frustration. “” My little brother on the other hand is a Saiyan and if I can get him going down the path of a honor bond warrior he can get into heaven… he deserves that so hit me. Blame me I don’t care some other Saiyan killed your world. Why should I? Even dying to save innocents I was condemned to hell. So this? This is pathetic. I never got a choice to be good or not. I can be as good or bad as I want to be and still receive the same reward. “”
Oats could only stare in wonder at the woman in front of him as he stared up into her eyes. Condemned at birth is how he felt every Saiyan should be dealt with but to hear her say it was another. To automatically sentenced to hell with no chance out of it was terrifying and even then she was sacrificing for the others who did have a choice. She was not so pure to do it for the entire Saiyan people but for her brother and the world he would inherent. It was to much for him to handle and he threw another punch this time with enough force to make her drop the focus as he marched off leaving her on the ground holding her face.
There master never asked what happened but the two remained distanced from each other in there training for days until he finally apologized.
