The first day of training had proved to be rather strenuous. They weren't exactly lying when they said they'd do their best to pummel Maycair. It was three on one, which was a bit unfair but it taught her quite a bit when it came to combat reacting. It wasn't her first time, but normally the people who jumped her were significantly weaker. This was the first time, the combined strength of the people she fought had surpassed her own. Sure that didn't mean much if you could outsmart them, but they developed a rather good strategy pretty quickly. The main focus of their plan of attack was to have TD focus on Maycair, the bot would provide a useful distraction while Logan and Razz could focus on different plans of attack. Razz would stay back, using his mastery of ki in order to use long ranged attacks to pressure May. While she had to fight off metal fists and bombarding blasts Logan would occasionally intercept. He stayed on the fringe, stalking and helping defend the best he could. Whenever there was an opening he would strike, hitting her weak points. It was an occasional jab, a small blast to the ribs, it wasn't much but it accumulated rather quickly. She was only able to be on the defensive the whole exchange. She thought sarcastically to herself about how fun of a day it had been. They didn't quite put her in the dirt like they might've wished but it wasn't exactly kind treatment either.

She sat in the training room for a bit after the match, the weight of the extra gravity put her in the prone position. She already fought for a whole day under it. The strain was burning, she needed to get out and eat but a few moments of rest wasn't going to kill her. TD was already cleaning up, Razz and Logan would make themselves at home once they had learned about the stockpile of food she kept. That must've been the accommodations Braccus was talking about, Saiyans did seem to have quite the appetite. May could eat quite a bit, but with four people eating her food for half a week well that would certainly set her back on groceries. She could think about buying new food at a later date. For now May just needed to enjoy what rest she could get.

"Well looks like you're still alive, you did well but there's going to be plenty of times you're outnumbered, It was a lot harder to even get one of your clones out wasn't it? Pacing is important in a fight, an opponent will often try and set the tempo in order to hold what advantage they have. You need to learn how you're gonna do that as well, a saiyan does what they can to win. So find that pride you have within yourself and show I made no mistake in taking you on for training. I said it before, and I will say it again. You are as mighty as any full-blooded saiyan I have seen it for myself. You need to own it, act it, and show that prowess to your opponents so they know they can't walk over you. If they underestimate you because of your small size well then I'd use that to your best advantage. Now you can rest here if you wish, it is your ship but I'll be joining the other two in raiding your pantry. You better have something good to eat, I'm sure there will be some anger if all you have is hard tack and jerky." The king said, it was almost uplifting but as usual it felt just as demeaning as it was helpful. It always felt like people were talking down to her, maybe they were, or just maybe there was something he actually saw within her.

Maycair had rested, getting a decent amount of sleep for the night. There were no nightmares, no dreams either. The only thing that resided in her heart was the desire to grow. That wondering, the waiting for strength was an agony that burned through every vein. Her ambition could be her undoing, yet she was getting better. This madness she was lost in, it was getting better, she wasn't thinking of those days spent in pain anymore. The journey was far from over, it was really on the first step but it felt rewarding to notice progress, to notice the change. Maycair was growing into the woman she wanted to be, that she hope to be.

Bright and early, that was how they had all surprisingly been, she expected such rude people to want their sleep but their desire to fight was overwhelming. When Maycair had walked into the Gravitron chamber she would see them all waiting, the king was sitting just taking the force while the other two sat there with TD between them. It gave her an uneasy feeling to see them all so close, who knew what they were planning?

"Glad you could join us May, I hope you enjoyed your rest as there is no time for rest today. I expect you all to keep at this till the sun sets. Of course, I'll be here enjoying my meal, a good king needs his breakfast after all." He said, biting down on some of the fruit Maycair kept stocked up. Well, there went her snacks for the day, but she doubted any of the four fighting would have a chance to eat. Well, TD didn't need to eat but she would have to give him some oil as a nice treat later. That would be for then, now it was time to focus.

"Come on, let's see if we'll break you today or if you'll be able to actually throw a punch. You got all that power and the only thing you could focus on was keeping your guard up. You have good martial training maybe you need to stop showing so much fear when you're not angry that would probably do you some good." Razz would say. Was that actually some advice he was offering? No, it just had to be more teasing, he did have a point she often relied on the power her anger brought. She had thought, of using her demon blight today but maybe it would be better to fight just as standard May.

Still, the moment of thought would be interrupted as Logan decided to share his piece as well. "Yeah no need to be an overemotional loser about it all. Throw some punches, show off that strength before we break you to the point that you aren't doing anything. I'm sure your robot friend over here is more of a challenge than you are. He can throw some good punches, but your bruises show that well enough don't they."

His taunts weren't clever, they had been a bad influence on TD as he had been pointing his thumbs downwards, followed by him dragging it across his throat. Great now even the machine was taunting her, that made her really feel like this was going to be a fun fight. There wasn't much time to think about that though. She had other things to worry about, such as how she was going to deal with them.

"Alright, Gravity chamber is turning on, hope you enjoy the feeling because as soon as the weight hits I want the punches to start flying." Braccus would say biting into a strange apple-like fruit. It was a great starting bell, the crash of all that gravity at once caused them to brace for a moment, but TD as usual would be the one to initiate. That was his attitude, and what seemed to be the linchpin in their plan. His rockets boosted, a blast of Ki charging into his hands. May would launch a blackhole bomber to meet him but Razz had started a long-range assault in order to break up her attacks. That would give Logan his opening, allowing him to come from the side with a strong right kick to her ribs. May took it, she took it well enough to grab him, slamming the saiyan into the machine, It was hard to approach Razz, even without the defense he had two blasts of Ki already ripping their way towards May. She would jump up, it wasn't a high jump. It made her vulnerable, she was launched into the wall but a stray blast he fired. They were good, they had learned well. There was a small cloud of dust as she hit the wall, so she hid in it for a moment sending out a blight double.

The double was more than enough of a distraction. She had gotten good enough at making images of herself to fool even the best of eyes. That wasn't the best part about it, while the clone could generally do her techniques this one was nothing more than something to grant her just a bit of extra time. Maycair would hock an egg from her mouth, just by her feet so as not to alert the enemies before it was too late. She had summoned Heart, the strongest of her children. Before he had the chance to leap out Maycair gave the beast a simple command, he too would create a blight double. Though, his wasn't meant to be a distraction for him but rather a part of her strategy. Once the smoke had cleared it was obvious they managed to defeat May's Double, but now they saw too raging apes and a halfling ready for her chance to strike.

May charged forth, flying with apes on each side. Heart, the real one would head towards Logan, hoping to keep the close strikes off of his matriarch. The clone of Heart was going straight for Razz, keeping his line of sight focused to try and stop him from providing continued pressure. As long as he could avoid the blasts the plan would work, it would give Maycair the chance to focus on her good buddy TD. He managed to get a few blows in on his master, but now it was her turn to have fun with him. While the other two were distracted it was time for the retaliation to start,

TD would feel a Black Star Striker hit him across the robotic chin he had. The time he had spent using her father's face had put a sour taste into May's mouth. She couldn't control it but every now and then it provided the extra force required to really rock the training dummy's world. Then another blow would come, this one a black hole bomber focused directly on his chest, launching the robot up into the ceiling. "Well buddy, you always wanted to be a star I guess now you can join them huh?" She joked, May needed to have fun in moments like this. If she didn't then what was the point of enjoying a fight? The banter was half the battle!

She would've continued making jokes but TD was down for now, and Logan had managed to get in a corner with Heart putting him in a bad position. Though, Razz had blasted away the Blight Double of Heart, now focusing his attention directly onto Maycair. A long, orange blast of ki would fire from his hands towards her. It was a bit stronger than his previous attacks so to meet his force she would use a Black Hole bombardment. At first, it was a bit of a struggle but her attack would overcome his. It wasn't enough to take him out of order but it granted just enough time to turn it into more of a melee brawl. "Well Razz, just like before you're not too scary once I actually get the chance to play around." May taunted, hitting him with a roundhouse kick, then a left hook followed by a right uppercut. The blows were solid, resounding out through the training area from the force of impact. He was knocked out, granting another point for May. There was still one more, she had to take care of the loud-mouthed Logan.

Logan was having a little bit of a tough time with Heart, the ape taking most of the blows. Still, now the Berri brother would feel the same sting she felt when he attacked her weak points. It wasn't wrong of him, May just wanted to give him a taste of it since during most of their training it seemed to be his preferred plan of attack. He threw a punch at Heart, who grabbed his fist, raising him higher into the air. That, was the perfect chance, May dashed towards the pair, a swift sidekick would fire from her legs. The Saiyan would yell out but she wanted more, so she would hit him with a Black-Star Breaker. The black and gold ki exploded against his ribcage which was followed by a rather resounding crack. If that didn't take him out, Hearts' next attack would as he treated Logan like a ragdoll by smacking him against the ground back and forth.

"Well I think today has been going fairly well so far." The king would say, Braccus continued as a sort of cruel joke "Well with such good progress I think that's a good start for the day. We're gonna need more sparring sessions so once everyone wakes up let's get ready for round two!" He seemed rather excited about the match up. Though such fights were always more exciting when you weren't the one getting your teeth broken for someone else's entertainment. Maycair couldn't express that though, she was lucky to be learning the techniques that Braccus had offered.
