Jorey didn't have to wait long for the individual who owned this property to show themselves. When the door opened up, he didn't expect to see this particular individual waiting for him behind it. To see Quash and be pleased about it would have also been a stretch. It's not like Jorey didn't want to see him, but it would be incorrect to assume Jorey's excited to see anyone, really. He's not on good terms with quite a lot of people, races, and territories. He wouldn't be used to seeing people and being excited to see them, but less people being excited to see him. Yet, somehow, Quash was excited to see him. In fact, he said he was "looking all over for him." The Saiyan immediately became skeptical, confused as to why Quash wanted to see him again. Did it have anything to do with the Orange City attack? If that was the case, Jorey would have to point out that this Saiyan was also a culprit in that incident. If that didn't get to him and Quash somehow wanted to start a fight with Jorey, he knew he was going to have to pull some quick thinking to either win or make it out unscathed. Why was Quash looking for Jorey? What the hell was the point of him being here training too?

The questions just kept on buzzing through Jorey's head as if it was a beehive. This Saiyan was acting overly friendly with him, despite their last interaction being them destroying a whole city. There had to be some sort of mistrust Quash and for Jorey, because Jorey definitely didn't trust Quash with this friendliness. The other Saiyan's arm was extended, reaching for a handshake. The lone wolf simply looked down, staring at his hand for a bit, then looked back up at Quash, glaring at him in confusion and skepticism. If that didn't spell out how much he didn't trust this interaction, he didn't know what would. Quash was visibly sweating, a signification of him training. Maybe, at this point in time, Quash was too exhausted from training to really fight Jorey or try to take advantage of him. From that perspective, it would be fine to take Quash's hand to shake. However, this could also be a clear sign that he's all warmed up and ready to react at a moment's notice. What the hell should Jorey do right now in response to this greeting? For now, Jorey would elect not to shake Quash's hand. Instead, Jorey put his hand over Quash's to push it away temporarily. He wanted some answers first before he went to any formalities with this soldier.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean, 'you've been looking everywhere for me?' How'd you know I was in this area, too?"
Jorey crossed his arms, waiting for answers. He wasn't going to be satisfied with any half-assed answers either. He was on edge ever since that incident with Orange City, and as such, Jorey was very wary of the situation and what Quash could be here for. Maybe he's a delusional Saiyan with a fucked up sense of justice? Maybe he wants to take revenge on all those lives lost and decided that killing Jorey and Athren would be where to start? Maybe he's trying to turn in Jorey and Athren to the authorities, to try and make up for his blunder on Orange City? It could be anything.

Jorey was just about as untrusting and delusional as anyone. When you worked as a mercenary for so many years, doing deals with the PTO and other shady organizations and people alike, you tend to become more paranoid about the sort of situation Jorey found himself in. When someone's looking for you, it's probably because they're out for you. If someone wants to meet you, it's either because they need you for something, or they want you dead. Sometimes, it's both. Either way, this didn't spell good news for Jorey, and he needed to be shown that this other Saiyan wasn't out to get him. With how Athren treated the both of them, it wouldn't be a surprise if this Saiyan also had it out. The concept of Saiyan pride was probably a foreign one to so many Saiyans, being thrown out the window at a moment's notice if it meant getting what they wanted. Jorey knew that for himself, pride wasn't something he held onto that much. He was learning how to embrace it more, though.
"You know how this looks, right? After everything that just happened, do you expect me to be all happy-go-lucky about seeing you again? I can't exactly trust that you're really happy to see me, and you're not tryna take my ass down. Pause, not like that; you know what I mean."
Jorey hoped that this at least spoke out to Quash. It was a shady thing to want to see someone, or be happy to see someone, after an event like this occurs. Hell, Jorey would be skeptical if anyone wanted to see him in general. He knew what kind of business he was in, and the kind of people who would be looking for him. The only time he wouldn't be skeptical about someone wanting to see him is if it somehow involved Ayu. Every time Jorey saw that girl, he could only think of innocence. She didn't have a single corrupt bone in her body. So, meeting someone from Ayu, or Ayu telling someone about Jorey and them coming to meet him in response to that, didn't seem like all that bad of a thing. Well, maybe the latter would be shady in some instances, but overall, Jorey would trust her judgement.

Jorey kept on waiting for Quash's different explanations and reactions to his questions. He wasn't going to comply with doing anything else until the Saiyan was able to prove his trustworthiness, at least for the time being. There was the off chance that Quash was actually here for something important. In which case, Jorey wouldn't have a problem with listening to what his "acquaintance"—if you would call it that—had to ask of him. A request is a request, and if it involved money, then it would definitely be something worth looking into.

In the eyes of Jorey, being skeptical, even in the slightest was pretty normal in this situation. Anyone who is approached by someone they just met would be at least a little concerned. Why would they be looking for them? Curiosity would well up inside that person, and if they knew they didn't get off on the right foot with the individual who is looking for them in the first place, curiosity could change to worry. Fortunately enough, it didn't seem like Quash was here for Jorey's head. He was able to figure that from one thing, primarily: Quash's mention of Ayu. Immediately, Jorey's eyes widened at him hearing the mention of her name. He tensed up, but relaxed at the same time. He was stunned, yet relieved altogether. He wanted to run away, yet also didn't feel like there was a need to. The last time Jorey was with Ayu, she made him feel so many different things that he hadn't felt before. As a result, there were some parts of Jorey that had changed. He was more compassionate and thoughtful of others, especially to Ayu herself. Seeing as Quash knew her, and that she put in a good word for him in the first place, Jorey reluctantly let his guard down. He sighed and glanced down at his handkerchief briefly, the one that Ayu herself gave him for keeping her safe that day.
Well, if Ayu talked to him, then it can't be all that bad. Whatever. 

Furthermore, Quash did make a good point based on the trust aspect. Honestly, Jorey was just waiting to here Quash explain the situation. From there, he could judge whether or not Quash had any hostility. Plus, he could just sense if he had any malice or bloodlust in his Ki, and there wasn't either in it. He took a deep breath in, and let it out, signifying Quash had passed and that Jorey would trust him.
"That's fair. Aight, I honestly wanted to see what you'd say, see if you said something suspect. If Ayu met you, then I'll put my trust in you, too. For now, that is. I haven't gotten to know you, yet, Quash."
In response to the comment about Athren, Jorey would laugh, not just because he thought it amusing, but he also kind of thought it pointless to try and go after Athren. It was obvious Quash wanted revenge for what happened. That's great, but to Jorey, that was something that didn't concern him.
"Hey, if you wanna go after Athren, that's fine by me, but I'd rather stay outta it. Sure, he did both of us dirty, and it pisses me off that he took advantage of me like that. But, I don't wanna take revenge on him for that. That can be a you thing, and I'm fine with being there or not being there for it, but I'd rather not get involved. 'Sides, if I knew where he was, I wouldn't exactly wanna see him willingly, right now."

Quash invited Jorey to come inside his weird chamber thing. Curious as to what it was, the lone wolf walked in. He came all this way in the first place; it wouldn't make sense to make this trip for nothing. The inside was pretty spacious, and was very interesting and complicated. There was a console in there, with a lot of buttons on it. The Saiyan didn't understand what they were for, so he paid it no mind for now. He could also see in the distance a cockpit, complete with everything you would need to fly a ship.
Oh, so this is some sorta ship? That's interesting...What the hell is the point of making it look like this then? 
Jorey had a lot of questions, and he wanted them answered quick. Not in an arrogant kind of way, but more so in a curious kind of way. He walked to the middle of the ship, looked around a little bit more, and then coiled his tail under him so he could sit on it. He crossed his legs as well as his arms to complete the look. Addressing his attention back to Quash, he proceeded with his questions.
"I felt your Ki fluctuating in here. Were you training or something? Why are you training in some weird looking ship like this? Also, speaking of your ship, why the hell does it look like this? I've never seen anything like this before. It seems very...not aerodynamic."

With everything that happened lately, it was hard to really settle back down and wrap his head around things. There was a lot Jorey needed to do. He needed to get stronger, and control his Oozaru form, to prevent another Orange City disaster from happening again. He didn't care much about the Earth, but it wouldn't be ideal to get more flak on him than he already had because of the aforementioned situation. Of course, he did care about Ayu being safe, though. If he were to transform into an Oozaru suddenly and start attacking her, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself when he woke up. Maybe, in that aspect he could relate to Quash? What if Quash had someone there that he was trying to protect, and transforming into an Oozaru put them in danger? Jorey would be able to understand that feeling, in that case. He would think about it a bit, coming to the conclusion that he would try and seek revenge on the person who made him transform. Maybe that's what Quash was getting at? Was someone he cared about hurt in that attack? Is that why he was seeking revenge? Those were all questions that Jorey felt he couldn't ask at this point in time. They were too sensitive, and too random at that. Asking them at this point in time might trigger Quash, or have him become hostile to Jorey in a matter of seconds. Stuff like that was better left unsaid, and kept in the back pocket until a much opportune time arose. For now, Jorey would be more than satisfied finding out what this ship is, and how Quash was even getting his training in the first place.

After responding to Jorey's slur of explanations about the Orange City incident, Quash followed him inside the ship. It wasn't long before he also answered all of Jorey's questions. Things on Earth really were strange, or at least unique. There was the situation of their diplomacy. There was also the police force. If you wrote a statement or had a statement, you could actually decrease your interaction or threat level with the police. That was something Jorey only saw on a few other planets. Most of the time, there was corruption hidden deep inside the police system, kind of like that one time he dealt with Dyve's group past North City. A thought randomly occurred to him while he was thinking about that specific group.
Oh, shit, are their bodies just chilling there, dead? 
The answer was, yes. They were all definitely still there, not taken care of in the slightest. The Saiyan again relaxed, apathetic to the whole situation in general.
Eh, not my problem. 
It was something Jorey could agree with, when it came to the statement about Earth having some weird stuff. He let out a breathy sigh while he replied to Quash's first answer.
"Yeah, tell me about it."

Quash then explained what this whole ship really housed inside of it. Interestingly enough, this was a gravity chamber. Jorey had only ever heard of those kinds of chambers, and he'd always wanted to try them. He never really had the chance to before. He either couldn't afford one, or he wasn't able to stay on a planet too long for him to really be able to use it. In the end, he didn't get his chance either because he couldn't find a permanent residency, or due to lack of funds, or for whatever other reason he couldn't really get one. Mercenaries like him didn't have the best insurance policies for a lot of reasons, and bills need to be paid. Well, whatever "bills" he had weren't actually bills, just things he called em so other people wouldn't be too suspicious of him. Regardless, this would be Jorey's first time using a gravity chamber. The thought was more than enough to excite him, but he didn't show it on his face at all. At least not yet. Determination set into his eyes, and he readied himself for the training of his life. Quash's offer was way too good to pass up. Jorey's eyebrows narrowed, and his face got deadly serious.
"Let's do it."

Fifty times gravity sounded pretty intense, let alone seventy-five times. Was this all something Jorey could handle at his power? It might be even more difficult to manage just because of the weights he was wearing under his training suit, but he wasn't going to back down from this challenge. If he could manage just fine with the weights on him, at whatever weight Quash could put on, then that would serve as a surefire way to get stronger quick. The excitement flooded through Jorey's body, and he wasn't able to contain his smirk. It was obvious Quash was much stronger than himself; he could feel it in his Ki. However, that was no reason to back down from this challenge. If it meant getting even more of a workout in, and getting even stronger quicker, then he'd be more than happy with taking a loss while training with this other Saiyan. Jorey adjusted his fingerless gloves, tightened the handkerchief on his left hand, and then readied his hands by his side, as if he was about to charge his Ki. This Saiyan wasn't playing around, and he was ready to get started with the training.

A gravity chamber, here in the flesh. This would be the first time Jorey ever trained inside one, and he was more excited than ever to get started on training. How effective was this gravity chamber training? How long does it take for the training to really show some progress? How dangerous was this training?
Oh, is it possible I could die from it? I'd rather not die, buuut dying from training in like five-hundred times gravity does sound pretty badass...or maybe it'd be even more badass if I died while fighting someone at five-hundred times gravity. Yeah, let's go with that. People in the afterlife—if there is one—would judge me if I said I died while "training." 
Now was as good a time as ever to start training. With these added weights on Jorey's body, he could really get some serious mileage on his power gauge, if he trained correctly. Overtraining himself would obviously have detrimental effects, and he'd have to be wary of that. He wouldn't want to break every single bone in his body and make him unable to train until he heals from a rejuvenation chamber.
And last time I checked, Earth doesn't have any rejuvenation chambers. Great, what would they have? A magic bean that heals all battle woulds? In their dreams. 

The lone wolf braced himself. With a serious mug on his face, fists clenched tightly, and every single muscle flexed, he prepared for the sudden change in gravity that would come. The lights changed colors, and everything about the room seemed to come to life. There was a humming coming from the walls, that seemed to remind Jorey of a space microwave for a second. He noted the similarities this room had to a microwave, for that matter, and continued bracing himself. He felt the weight of the gravity taking hold, and smiled as he registered the change in his weight. However, he quickly went back to frowning once he felt that this change in gravity was way too much for him to handle. Jorey's eyes widened, and his body was sent straight downward to the floor, with almost no chance to get his arms out. The Saiyan had his hands on the ground, but wasn't able to push himself up, let alone keep his chest off the ground. His face strained in pain and struggle, only to realize he had no chance of maneuvering in this environment. In a layman's terms, he was fucked.

Jorey's whole body shook as he struggled to get breaths in and to his feet. Each attempt to push himself up or stand up was met with such tremendous resistance, that it looked like he wasn't even trying to get up at all. Keeping his head and face off the floor was as much as he could muster. It felt like he was under five spaceships, and he didn't mean the small kinds like this one. Sweat dripped from his forehead and nose as he looked up to Quash. He needed him to turn the gravity down, and he struggled to get the words out. Just like his shallow breaths, his words were even more weak, and he choked up a bit with each breath he let out to utter a single word.
"Ack...Quash...turn...down...too...much..."
That broken sentence was the most Jorey could muster in this situation. His Saiyan body loved combat and his spirit wasn't one that could be deterred by a challenge. However, this was suicide. There was no challenge in it at all. He could only hope to survive this encounter if they were to train with this.
Hell, forget about "our" training. My training this whole time would be to either get used to this gravity, or not die from it. This is way too much for me. How the hell is this guy so strong that he could walk through this no problem... 
Jorey's thoughts trailed for a bit, fueling a rage deep inside him.
When...did I get so weak!? 

Strength was necessary to survive. If you weren't strong, you would only get used or eaten up by the strong. Either that, or you were cast away, left to fend for yourself. Strength wasn't everything to Jorey, but he knew he was strong. He knew he had strength because he was able to singlehandedly take out armies, soldiers of many different militaries, and even societies. He was able to frighten people with his strength, intimidate them into surrendering, or even killing them outright in the blink of an eye. He knew he was strong because he lived the life he led and made it this far in it. He was still alive and kicking, and for that, he knew he had attained strength, but this, this display of fatigue and helplessness wasn't strength at all. Ever since he came to Earth, he found people who were stronger than him, and he'd work towards catching up by fighting them. He knew he wasn't weak, but he felt weak. He wasn't used or eaten up by those stronger than him, and he certainly wasn't cast aside for being weak. He was an anomaly, because his existence was unconfirmed and uncertain. He was a ghost that everyone could see and interact with, that was able to slowly get strong and intimidating as time went by. He was a child that everyone paid no mind to and let do what he wanted, and when that child grew up and proved his worth, they respected him. That's how his life essentially went, but not once did he think he was truly weak. This, however, was a crude awakening for sure.

Quash would walk over to the buttons and panels Jorey had observed beforehand and did something to make the gravity not as intense. Jorey could still feel a very evident pull on his body, since the gravity was obviously higher than Earth's. He'd already became used to Earth's gravity, so this change was still foreign. However, this was manageable. The lone wolf's face relaxed, no longer as tightened up as it was before. It wasn't a struggle to breathe or lift himself, anymore. While it wasn't a struggle anymore, it was still a bit difficult. The Saiyan was able to get a grip on the ground, putting both his hands out in front of him and pushing himself up slowly. It was like he was doing a pushup with weights on his back. Well, weights on top of the ones he was wearing at that moment. He figured that if he wasn't already wearing weighted gear, he would be able to manage a lot better in this kind of gravity. Jorey was able to push himself up completely, putting his legs under him and standing up. Once he stood up straight, he let out a relieved sigh and looked at his body. He threw a few jabs at the air in front of him to gauge how his speed and strength was. He definitely felt like he wasn't as strong as he normally was, but this was to be expected. After all, he was definitely on a higher gravity level than Earth's. Jorey would then open and close his hands, observing once more how much his body was affected. After acknowledging the strength of the gravity, Jorey also got into a fighting stance. He still needed to get used to this strength, but he figured that would come in due time. Best case scenario, by the end of the day, he'll be used to this gravity.

Jorey could tell that Quash was already leagues above him in strength. If they were going to train, it would be nice for him to be able to catch up first, and then they could really get to training. As such, the lone wolf didn't see a need to display all of his tricks from the beginning. He would use them all within due time. If anything was certain at this point, it was that Quash wasn't planning on absolutely destroying his training partner, nor was he planning on killing him. Jorey could be comfortable knowing that. There was no point in overdoing it in this gravity chamber, but there was no excuse for him to leave anything on this training field. He had to give it his all so he could get everything out of this workout. No excuses, only combat. He was already angry at himself enough for being weak, and realizing how weak he was all of a sudden. If this didn't serve as motivation for himself to get as strong as he could as quickly as possible, he didn't know what would. Maybe someone so ridiculously strong that they could be worshipped as a god? That was highly improbable, considering how strong people on this planet were. It was true that Quash was very strong compared to Jorey, but he didn't meet anyone that overwhelmingly strong on this planet, yet. He didn't expect he would find anyone like that, anyway, considering the average power levels of the people living here.

it was time to commence the training. Although Quash implored him to commence, Jorey didn't know where to start considering the weight of the gravity. An idea did pop into his head, though. It would be nice to get further used to the gravity, but still make it training for both of them. The lone wolf took one more deep breath, focusing his Ki through his body, and hopping up and down a little bit to loosen himself up. He then spoke up and went into action afterwards.
"All right. Let's get started, then."
Focusing his Ki through his body, Jorey used Rapid Movement to make himself circle around Quash multiple times. It's true that his Rapid Movement technique could use quite a bit of Ki and stamina, but he made sure to pace himself the whole way through. His Rapid Movement was a little slower than usual. Instead of making it look like he straight up disappeared, it looked like there were multiple clones of Jorey moving around Quash. He'd continue this for a little bit, then suddenly stop to Quash's left, shooting a Ki blast at him. Immediately afterwards, he would use Rapid Movement again, reappearing in front of Quash and firing off a Halo Buster at him.

The trickiest part about this battle, well this training, was trying to knock Quash on his ass. Jorey knew it wasn't going to be easy to go up against this Saiyan with their difference in power level. If he were to take off his weights, he could get the upper edge on his training partner. However, if he were to do so, there's no telling if Quash would do the same, if he had any. The lone wolf knew this captain was holding back, especially since he was able to take a gravity level much higher than Jorey himself. Also, Jorey wouldn't get that much stronger by taking off the weights. Keeping them on was a part of the training. He could get more experience and more out of it this way. All in all, it would hurt more than help to take off the weights. In light of all that, it was necessary to keep in mind that he couldn't just slouch around in this training. Doing so could make Quash not into it anymore, or it could make him react negatively. There are many different outcomes that could come forth from him training like that, and they all flew through Jorey's head as if they were bees buzzing around their beehive. The only best way to go about this situation is to give it his all.

When you shoot out half-assed techniques at someone who is much stronger than you, it's expected to have those half-assed techniques just end up doing nothing. That's exactly the effect Jorey's first attack had on Quash. The other Saiyan casually gripped the Ki blast like it was a basketball, catching it and stopping it in his grasp. It wouldn't effect the captain at all, which proved to be quite annoying. The difference in power not only made Jorey upset, but it annoyed him. He needed desperately to bridge the gap between himself and Quash, or else he would forever be disappointed with himself. Being so weak wasn't something he was used to feeling. As a mercenary, he was always hired for jobs that could very well kill him or make him permanently in a vegetative state, or anything else that could possibly be deemed worse than that. He survived each and every time, but here he was, backed against a wall against Quash's power, which was much higher than his own. Sure, it wasn't like Quash was out to kill Jorey or anything, but the fact of the matter was that he had a lot of catching up to do. He wouldn't rest until he could not only catch up, but to go above and beyond those who pose a threat to him.

After reappearing once more behind Quash and firing a Halo Buster, it was anyone's prediction as to how the captain would react. Regardless, Jorey was ready for anything. As it turned out, Quash simply threw the Ki blast right back at his Halo Buster, but that Ki blast wouldn't stand a chance against the technique Jorey put out, and the result was an explosion that made Jorey put his hands up for cover. Then, he sensed two energy signatures coming straight from the smoke, from Quash. The two Ki blasts hit the lone wolf with his guard still up, and he took them as is. They weren't too painful, but they were still a lot stronger than the Ki blast he shot out originally. The Saiyan couldn't allow himself to get hit by too many of those. As the smoke continued to dissipate, Jorey decided to take the offensive. He held out his arm once more, and instead of firing a Halo Buster from it, he channeled his Ki into it and fired off a Shatter Beam. The Ki beam would travel just a little bit towards Quash, and then break off into many pieces, continuing their pursuit onto him. While this attack went off, the next part of the offensive would ensue. Jorey left his post and sped to his left, sliding against the floor to change direction towards his opponent. Then, he launched himself straight at Quash, his feet heading right towards the other Saiyan's side.

His objective here was to distract or keep Quash occupied enough with his Shatter Beam bullets. If they managed to hit him, then that would be great. That wasn't the objective; while they were traveling towards Quash, Jorey would use this chance to take some more advantage of the situation, attempting to send another attack at the distracted Saiyan to really make up for the difference in power between them. If he couldn't be as strong as Quash, then that's fine. Well, obviously it wouldn't that fine, but it was tolerable. He would make up for the difference in power between them with battle senses and tactics. He wasn't going to let himself be outdone in every single part of battle. Jorey would somehow make sure that he could find pride in some part of his fighting style, in some part of this training today.
