Day one training.
Zaks entered the gravity chamber that lady Maycair no master Maycair had pointed out to her when she had given her a tour of the ship. The chamber was pretty big, probably one of the biggest on the vessel considering all that it needed to run and room needed to train with it along with weights and equipment. Slowly she walked over the weights, her eyes running briefly over her own masters weights before she came to a stop before them. Standing before them she hesitated before she tried to pick up the equipment and as she expected it was far too heavy for her to use in her current state. Growling in frustration, the young hybrid marched over to her own set and put them on, only taking a few moments to marvel how such small things could weigh so much. The master had suggested what ones for her to buy and she had done so without a second thought and she did not regret it as it was hard to move in them. Marching with some visible strain over to one side of the chamber she started doing some pushups that normally came very easy to her but with the weights made her struggle considerably.
**Alright Zaks you can do this its nothing different then training with mother and that was the hardest thing you have ever done. Alright start with 1,2,3 ... .998,999, and 1000! That was so much harder after the first 100 holy luna I think my heart will leap from my chest.**
Zak,s fell to her back to catch her breath as she landed with a loud thump that probably traveled the ship. Zaks couldn't help but wonder how long till she caught up to master? She didn't want to be a burden to her hell her entire life; she had spent time protecting her people and wanted to keep doing so. Maybe one day she would be the one protecting the master instead of the other way around but for now it was do what she needed to become stronger. Muttering under her breath she began the next set of exercises and fell into a steady routine as her body strained under the combined weight of the gravity machine and her own weights. As she worked out a little thought crept into her head that she would never be strong enough to protect the tribe before she quickly squashed it and used the anger to push even harder at her training….
Several hours later and countless exercises later Zaks stopped for a moment of her training to catch her breath just for the moment of doubt to creep back into her mind. This time she couldn't squish it easily and started to become agitated at the thought of failing her tribe. She had thought she was strong when she left the shell days before but was immediately proven just how weak she was by the very first people she came across. Suddenly she remembered that Maycair was here helping her grow stronger than she ever thought possible. She knew maycair was strong though as she dwarfed everyone on an entire world on planet full of warriors.
** Stop being a child, little Zaks. Remember ignorance can be forgiven but inaction to remedy a weakness can't. Remember you are Zaks now not a child**
Pulling herself up the hybrid started a run around the room picking up the pace constantly going faster until it felt like her lungs were burning and then she pushed herself even further until her vision started to blur. Zaks suddenly dropped to her knees sliding a few feet before falling all the way down onto her face in what she no doubt looked comical if anyone had seen the little mishap. But she didn't care about anything but getting air into her burning lungs that even gasping huge breaths seemed to help stop the burning. But eventually the pain receded and Zaks recovered enough to sit then stand up.** I must go further than ever before. Come on, let's see what this gravity machine can do.**
Moving up to the computer she examined the data on the screen and found the setting was set to 10x earth. Maybe she could raise it even further. She was getting used to the 10 times earth gravity so maybe she could raise it to 20 times. Biting her lip she finally starts pressing the buttons on the machine then hesitates only a moment before she pushes the engage button. At first nothing happened but a soft increasing whine of the machine until suddenly without warning the gravity jumped all the way to 20x gravity instantly. Unfortunately for zaks she had stepped away from the machine when it hit her. Suddenly she found herself face first on the ground crushed underneath the weight of the gravity. She felt her bones creak as the slamming to the ground knocked the wind from her lungs. In the distance she thought she heard a scream of pain but then it dawned on her that it was her own scream. Finally she started to adjust to gravity that smashed her but only enough to breathe again that came in deep pain filled gasps. Much to Zak's dismay it would be a few hours before she was rescued from her own mistake.
—few hours later–
Zaks was sitting down on the floor of the ship's living room. Her left arm and head were bandaged tightly to help with the healing until the morning. She growled at herself for being so impulsive she was over 200 years old for kami sake! Turning her fury in word she focused her attention to the book she was reading about mechanical engineering and it was exciting to learn what the people of the galaxy had learned to do with their minds. Ways to get food easier and travel all throughout the known galaxy. Zaks had big dreams and being an idiot or ignorant of modern day culture, and things the people took for granted. —several hours later—
** Now what that changeling said actually makes a little sense about being a monkey even if they were rude.**
Shaking her head she evenly got up from her spot stretching her stiff body out before reaching for yet another book from. Her collection and this time she grabbed a history book of the USD. Slowly she understood many things about the USD and was disappointed with the organization as a whole. It had set the path for its own destruction by planting any seeds of discontent amongst even its own members. Planet frost had been its first test yet it merely expelled them from membership and did nothing to save the worlds under their attack or already enslaved by them. USD in short was a noble dream in the open but the reality of them was probably closer to a weak agreement for peace with no force enforcing that peace. At one point they had the two strongest races in their ranks yet did nothing when they were finally tested and even further weakened their power. The saiyans ruled with might and if she were to become as strong as her master then she could take control of vegeta. From there she could help the saiyans become the warriors that everyone looked up to and not feared mindless brutes. But at the same time everyone will try to curb the power of the saiyans and she doubted any sort of cohesive government would draw the attention of every other power in the galaxy.** If i were to take over vegeta or free it I would need someone else strong enough to back that movement no matter how strong i become. More than likely they will try to embargo the planet from what limited trade the people there do get so in order to get around that i need some sort of backing. Maybe this organization that Master Maycair is a part of will help? They seem to be after their own profit and having a planet to trade with will only benefit them in the long run. Hmm maybe I can even get them to help with the reconstruction of the planet? ** Reading through the history books some more she learned that the saiyans have had many revolutions, coups and even long brutal civil wars for their world. But reading into the books some more a plan began to form in the mind of the young hybrid.*** So the kings of vegeta all haven't been successful in their rules or takeovers of the throne. Hhmm according to the pages 114,607 and 801 all the successful rules have always been rules filled with nationalism. The saiyans literally must find pride in their lives or they become discontent and they must have some way to release their aggressions or they dissolve into infighting. So maybe I can hire them out as mercenaries and protect other planets? I also need to get them new worlds so that they can see their people grow and spread. Hmmm Maybe create them an empire perhaps ohhhh! Frosts invasions have displaced a lot of people and the USD did very little to help the people that lost their worlds. Maybe the saiyans can offer them a new place to live under their protection?** Setting aside the book on Saiyan history she picked up a book on a much smaller size then she would have liked a book on the planet's frost's history before letting out a sigh.
Soon the time turned from a mins to a few hours Zak's eyes scanning over the information quickly as she took in all the data from the countless books she read. Luckily for zaks she was used to learning quickly and long ago gained control of her thoughts to keep herself from falling into boredom while studying. Thanks to that she had learned much about the different species that excited out in the known Galaxy.** The main races I must be concerned with are the Changelings of planet frost and the Humans of earth. Changelings have the battle power to enforce their will and probably tie or even beat the saiyan race in combat. While humans have the highest economy and technology, the changelings are not far behind them. Hmmm I wonder if war will be the only way? Hmmm well i guess i will cross that bridge when i get there.** Finally after hours of reading and planning in her head zaks stood to take a break and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat.
—a full meal and stomach later—
Zaks went back to her room with a content smile before she sat back at the small desk in her cabin on the ship and wondered just how lucky she was to be on this journey. What was the luck that she would emerge from the literal hole in the ground and run into not only a very strong master but also one that had their own ship? The luck didn't stop there though that same master saved her people from the tree of might that threatened to turn her world into a lifeless husk. While it had been Ike that had nearly destroyed her world they also were connected in Maycair and that connection might help her return to planet vegeta with enough support to control the world.** If I can return with their backing I will be able to truly make a better world for the Saiyans and rebuild their broken pride. While in truth the plight of the saiyans is a bad thing it might not be for me.** suddenly Zaks realized she was going in circles with her thoughts as she literally was thinking the same thing she was a few hours ago.it was pointless to think any more of it and it should be time to turn in for the night so that she could get back to training in the morning. With that the hybrid went to her bed and laid down for the night.
—day two—
The next day, Zak realized that she was lucky that most of her wounds had healed enough during the night that she could do more training on the ship without hurting herself again. Wandering back into the gravity room she immediately went back to 10 times earth gravity. She felt already lighter then she had the day previously and started with agility exercises running and doing fall drills that worked well with the heavier gravity as each roll felt like she was slamming into the ground. But despite that it hurt the hybrid she kept up the practice as a fighter she had learned from her mother that you get knocked down a lot. Coming to a stop, Zaks gathered her KI around her center before shooting it from her palms in both directions, each blast locked onto Zaks Ki signature. Suddenly zaks started to dodge each blast over and over as they passed by her at a slowly increasing speed.* Oh My Kami this is getting hard oh SH!!!* Suddenly Zaks made a mistake while trying to jump over one of her blasts and slipped straight into the blast heading to her face. With a surprising quick reaction Zaks blocked the blast but got stalled long enough for the second one to hit her square in the back! **AGHHHHH!! THAT HURT!!!** while the blast had not been very strong it still hurt as she had fired it with the intention for it to sting and as her mother used to say “”no Pain no Gain”” reaching behind her she rubbed the spot that had been hit and noticed her training shirt now had a nice size hole in the back.** DAMNIT! I did not buy that many spare clothes before leaving Vegeta! And there is no way in hell I will fit into anyone else's clothes on the ship.I guess i will have to learn to sow my clothes otherwise go around looking like a darn bum.**
With a deep sigh Zaks moved on to the next stage of her training and sat down crossing her legs and placing her hands on her knees in a relaxed position. Slowly she used her Ki and placed it underneath herself and started to levitate in the air while she also swirled four large Ki blasts around herself in a complex pattern. The Point of the exercise was to increase Ki control and test her mental endurance at the same time in the higher gravity. While it seemed like the blasts swirled around herself in a safe pattern the reality was that she was using small bursts of ki to constantly push them in the patterns like separate little hits so that she could learn precise control. If she hit it too hard they would fly off the pattern or fly into zaks herself. Luckily these blasts were not meant to hurt anything and were harmless. ** ok it is time to start to Ramp it up and I cannot hold back my training so here is nothing.** suddenly the amount of blasts doubled as she raised her palms up and released them into the room making a beautiful light show if anyone came into the room. The exercise was getting drastically harder not just by the amount of orbs in the air but also from the strain of fighting the Gravity in the room that pushed on her and the blasts themselves. Sweat started to pour from Zak's body along with several small grunts as she exerted herself when she suddenly reacted too slowly and missed an orb. Thankfully she had been able to catch them further out but it did not mean that she was not at her limit yet and she knew it would not be long now until she dropped. *come on ... .just a little more Zaks …you can do it. You are the daughter of Zak's the first and the strongest person of the Elayis tribe. Come on DAMMIT!** she suddenly screamed as a chain reaction Zaks dropped to the floor and the orbs flew in every direction before fizzing out on the training rooms boundaries. Leaving zaks on the floor exhausted from the practice before and motionless for a short time.
After what seemed like a good break she was back on her feet again adjusting her weights of her weighted clothing and thinking to herself what to do next. What was it that her mother used to do when she was out of ideas for practice? Suddenly she remember that her mom loved to work on her core and recalled her mom telling her that ** Everything you do goes through your core! When you swing a fist your core turns with the shoulders! When you throw a kick you pivot your core to deliver a much stronger kick! When you dodged you pushed your core there for your entire body into motion. ** Mom was totally right when she told me never neglect your core. And to be truthful i have not devoted enough into it as it stands. So let's remedy that shall we?**
A few hours later and countless exercises zaks literally felt like her stomach was filled with spider webs of pain and she could barely move her legs as her hips and thighs constantly burned and straight refused to obey commands from her brain. Slowly she stood straight up with a grunt of pain. And took a seat at the one piece of furniture in the room ** Mom I know you were right but this freaking hurts! At least this way I will be in the best physical condition I can be when master Mayfair is ready for some hands-on training.** The hybrid rested as she suddenly began to remember training with her mother and before she knew it Exhaustion overtook her and she was asleep in the blink of an eye dreaming of the past.
–Zaks dream—
Zaks junior had been training with her mother for about 3 years now and could control her Ki fairly well now Zaks the first decided. It was time that she showed her how to sense other peoples Ki and forever give up her advantage in the rare times she had to play hide and seek with her new daughter. ** LITTLE ONE!! GET DOWN HERE NOW!!** she bellowed at her student and new daughter. Once her student was in place she began with the basics of learning the technique. ** I believe it is now time for you to start learning how to control the key that runs through your body into practical use. What I will be trying to teach you today will have many practical uses in your life. It can help you find people that are trying to sneak up on you or it can help you judge how strong a particular or foe is before you fight them. But it will also have uses when you are trying to lead the tribe. Do you know how I choose who will lead or be on what team when they go hunting? Partly by their power level as each team must be strong enough to be able to kill what they are hunting. It would be really bad if we sent a group of hunters out and they got killed?** She looked her student directly in the eyes as she spoke to make sure she was paying attention. Her mind slowly took in the child's form during the brief pause and she could never get over just how big she was for being a child still. Already at 11 years old she was as tall as the males warrior in the tribe and still did not show signs of slowing down her growth.** Well, are you not going to reply when your teacher is talking to you? SPEAK UP!!** she shouted when the student hesitated to answer her question.** IT WOULD BE A VERY BAD MASTER! EVERYONE COUNTS ON YOU TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE SAFE!** with a node of her head Zaks the first spoke much calmer then she had before.** Good answer now. I want you to close your eyes and just feel around you. If you focus you can feel the shift of everything around you! The wind! The sounds! But you can also sense the Dispersal of Ki. The reason you can do this is that most people always release a small amount of Ki regardless of what they are doing. Another thing you can do is Focus on your own Ki as it is released for when it comes in contact with something else you will feel it being disturbed.** as she spoke she intentionally released a very small amount of KI at her student to try and give her a little bit of help to feel KI while she walked in a slow Circle around her. Much to her dismay this sort of practice for several weeks until one day after losing her patience more than once with her student she noticed her following her movement with her head even though her eyes were closed. She could not help but smile softly and whispered softly to herself ** That's it, focus on that feeling you are feeling. It i…** she was suddenly interrupted by her pupil when they cut her rambling off with a wisecrack** Master, you should know these ears are not just for show! I can hear you talk to you “CRACK” OWWWW** Zaks wasted no time swatting her smart mouthed student over the head with her hand affectionately with a little more force then she probably intended but despite disciplining her she was pleased that she finally understood more about sensing other KI besides her own. She figured that her pupil had a harder time about it since she had been born very strong to begin with. ** now. You must learn to use it to Dodge attacks while blind**
—end of flashback–
Zaks could not help but smile at the memories of her long dead mother. She wished her mother had been her biological mother and carried her blood then she would still be around and Zaks could have been taught even more then she had been by her mother. *mother…i hope that i am living up to your name well. You were so strong back then and I wish I had realized sooner why you tried so hard.** swallowing a lump in her throat as she remembered her mother even though she had died over 200 hundred years ago.** I never knew you tried so hard to just stay ahead of me since I was such an unruly child. I am glad I grew into the Woman you were proud of before old age took you.** with a deep breath she remembered the times when the woman had to literally fight with her to do the most basics of things like taking a bath or even wearing clothes. If her mother had not been there she would still be living like some feral animal stocking the shell and attacking everything there. Mother had told her she had been awakened far too early for her from her Egg. Now that she thought about it, why was she born different from everyone else? Everyone else was born through a mother and father and not a single one of them was born with a tail though she did admit that she did control the mayko power that they did as well. So if she had to guess she was a demon saiyan hybrid. Now wasn't that a surprise for she believed Maycar was also half demon Saiyan Hybrid and if that was true it seemed demon liked the saiyans a lot probably for their power if she had to guess.
Slowly she got herself into a fighting stance and began to fight an imaginary opponent in her own mind. This was what she was sorely lacking. It was an opponent to actually practice with and fix the flaws in her fighting style after her mother had passed. No one had been able to fight her to any degree that she needed any sort of style and it had been over two hundred years since her mother had passed. She slowly tried to make each move more complex to test her strength vs the gravity and weights that adorned her body each trying to drag her to the ground. Each blow was meant to be a fatal blow to her bodiless opponent that she always made a little bit faster than she was. As she trained she suddenly remembered the shell she had left behind and the people that were waiting on her return. It pulled at her heart that she was not there with them but this was for the best of her people otherwise they would be leaving themselves vulnerable to another outsider like before. Had someone else not stepped forward they all would be dead and she would never see the people of the tribe again. This set off some anger in her heart and her blows slowly became heavier as she remembered why she was training to begin with.
She slowly began to remember everyone from the tribe, slowly etching each one into her brain one by one so not only did she not forget them but also to remember who she fought for. Like Little Maya who was the great granddaughter of Zak's the first who Zaks spent a lot of her time with in the village. She could not forget jelly and butter who were always plotting the next prank on the village like the last one that had painted Zaks purple for over a week. She could not forget Lilith who had a child on the way and was the sweetest person as long as she was not mad at you. Her Meat pies were the best she had ever had! Even the food on the surface was not as good. She hated herself now as she realized she had somewhat distanced herself from the rest of the tribe as she did not want to get too close to them as eventually she would have to watch them die of old age unlike her that seemed to live forever with a sign of aging. When she had returned to Vegeta she would fix that as soon as she could and if she succeeded in taking over as the queen of planet vegeta then she would bring them all to the surface and to the palace so they could all enjoy the life Zaks herself had discovered.** I will do better, everyone, I swear! I will be even greater than my mother and protect everyone.** With that final thought she stopped fighting her false foe and exited the Gravity room. She would Shower and then head to bed for the night so that she could train even harder for tomorrow.
—lunar spear training to level O2 That night in her Dreams–
Her dreams were chaotic and filled with Clashes that she could not even comprehend the power they emanated and yet it felt like it was her memory as she caught a brief glimpse of beings fighting a Giant figure. These beings each felt terrifying to Zaks as she somehow could sense their power level. But the figure who was sharing their eyes with zak was so much stronger and bigger than their opponents that swarmed them but even then that power paled in comparison to how many of them swarmed over there Frame suddenly she spoke! No not her but the Giant in the dream did. ** BEWARE! MY CHILDREN WILL FINISH WHAT I STARTED! YOU ALL WILL BE CAST DOWN!! HEAR ME IDISO!! AND CARRY OUT MY WILL!!!** Even as the giant called out to Idiso to finish what he started she knew deep down she was Idiso and it was her true name. This figure was her father, her biological father, who was fighting these beings that stood before him. Then suddenly it was all gone as she woke up to the real world with a sudden feeling of ice water washing down her body. She sat there in confusion as she could not remember the nightmare she was having except the name of Idiso bouncing around in her head. She looked slowly and sluggishly to the clock on the wall and saw the time was to get up and head back to the training chamber, a task that she moved slowly to finish as her body still hurt from training yesterday.
Today Zaks was going to focus on her most basic attack she had been taught growing up by her mother, the famous lunar spear. It was an attack that had been passed down from her mother’s family that was known for its ability to pierce even the strongest barriers of its foes. That being said only herself and Maya still knew how to use the Technique effectively but today she was going to hone the ability even further than she ever had before. First off she was going to work on the efficacy of the speed and power she gathered her power to prepare to use the ability as taking too long to power the ability up was a death sentence. She was likely to fight powerful foes in the future and she needed to be able to harness her full power much like master Maycair had done at the tree of might effectively destroying the tree with her full power. For Zaks to be able to pull the same power at her own level it would take her three times as long to do so and she was sure that was far too long if she wanted to be good for the battles ahead. She once again found herself in the gravity chambers as she slowly started to power herself up to prepare herself for perfecting her ability even further. A small smirk crossed her face as she prided herself on her gentle powerup in order not to disturb the rest of the ship's occupants. Finally done with powering herself up Zaks began to draw her power into her right arm until it started to form into a spear of Silverlight that looked deceptively small for how powerful it was. but zaks wanted to further improve her charge time and instantly reabsorbed that power to just repeat that process over and over again until slowly her speed in which she could pull the power into the palm of her hand increased and kept slowly getting better and better. With a loud sigh she began to focus on the second part of her training and put more power into the spear at the same speed all the while sharpening the spear even further. She needed to get it to the point that not only pierced her opponent's defenses but somehow increased the damage it did once it did so. Zaks constantly kept experimenting with the spear for the rest of the day without much success. Her frustration led her to neglect her other training until well into the evening and she struggled to move her focus to other Activities until it was time to turn in for the night. ** i will Keep this up until i perfect this stupid spear.** she swore under breath as she laid down for the night.
—day4 part two of lunar spear training—
Waking up and dragging her tired body back to the gravity chamber for another night was hard for zaks but she did it anyway. She had far too much to do to be lazy and plus she had already swore that she would finish that spear training as soon as she could. She followed yesterday's steps almost to the letter, her powering up was the same as was her training the speed of how long it took her to charge up for the spear. After spending the day practicing she suddenly had an idea that made sense to her! Why not make the spear spin like a drill! She had read about that in a book that she had read while she was injured just a few days ago and it was the best way to improve the attack with actually adding more energy to it. ** HAHAH I GOT YOU NOW!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! How did you not think of this before now? Well actually it was probably since i didn't even know what a drill was a few days ago** with a smile on her face that was soon to fade as doing what she planned proved to be much harder then she had thought and much more tiring then she had thought as problems emerged with her idea. First one was she actually had to throw the spear and lose energy to practice spinning the blast. Second, she never realized she had practiced the spear so much that she had to force herself out of the old habits of just chucking the spear as hard as she could. But before long with much trial and error she managed the basics of her new idea. The results were amazing like she had thought and very painful when she tried to catch her own attack that had shredded her hands up a little bit. But she was ready for the next step in her testing. First she gathered a spear in both her hands and took a deep breath and threw one spear in one direction before quickly turning and throwing the second in the other direction both spears sailed through the air quickly until they collide with each other with one blasting through the other easily and to no surprise it had been the new one with its spin on the blast. A smile spread across Zak's face for only a moment until she realized she was about to take that exact spear to the face!!!** OHHH SH!!! ARGHHH** Zaks did not even get to finish her curse before the spear crashed into her shoulder as she at the last second had turned to the blast in a panicked reflection to avoid a blow to her face. The result was a shredded shoulder and a very wounded ego as she cursed herself for making such a rookie mistake. She had predicted what would happen when the spears would hit and still did not figure out where that spear would go!
Letting out a grunt of pain and breath, Zaks slowly unbraced her body from the attack, examined her shoulder where she had taken the wound and growled before she wandered over to a small bag she had put in the corner. This bag contained several minor healing supplies that were meant to help with small wounds like this with bandages and ointments. It did not take Zak long to treat her own wound before covering it with a bandage and returning to her training. With a deep breath she returned to step one with how fast she could charge her attack and to put the spear into a spin as she launched the attack at full power! When The attack left her hand this time it formed a sliver blast in the shape of a spear that one could see a spin on as it sailed through the air at zaks command and circled the room several times before zaks reached out and caught in the air only to proceed with reabsorbing her own KI back into her body. She had tested it and now she could keep practicing what he had learned . this practice would keep up for the rest of the time she was on the ship after she had done her other practices and further increase the difficulty zaks with actually performing this new attack.
She slowly wondered how well would her attack compare vs what Maycair had down to the tree of might if it had as much power behind the blast as she had. Overall she could easily see that her attack would be weaker even if she did not want to admit it but she hoped that her ability would still be a good attack and maybe one day she would have it just as strong as Maycairs own attack. She could picture it now her and Maycair attacking slamming into each other and the struggle between the attacks shaking the ground just like what happened at the tree of might but she released a sigh. The only way that would ever happen is if she could catch up to Maycair and she was a long way off from doing that. She knew that for several reasons one was that she could barely pick up her weights much less actually train with them and secondly mayfair power level was higher than her maxed power even when she was relaxed. ** one day I will catch up to you master one day I won't be such a little warrior. I promise you that I will catch up to you.** With that Declaration Zaks turned back to Training by going back to fighting her Mind opponent but this time she added her spear being used in direct combat vs this foe to practice doing it on the fly and even pulling the spear back to herself before resuming the swings that her practice required of her. Her jumping around and kicking at this opponent would often be followed up with a spear that would pull back to herself until it hit and she practiced her own endurance until she was exhausted and turned in for the day.
Training Lunar spear to level (OT2) The Lunar spear is a pointed tip; the blast is in the shape of a spear that is thrown from the user's hand. By spinning it with such force that it not only tries to pierce its foes' defenses but also keeps trying to drill even further into its defenses.
