It was a relatively simple request, one Shizukesa easily granted to Leke. Leke knew one way for him to get stronger on his own, and that was increased gravity along with his weights. However, not being on a planet, gravity didn't have much of a concept. There was a way to simulate that though, and the Kai granted him the ability, while he was on Heaven, to "set", in a way, the gravity level in an area around him. In essence, he has a field of gravity control. With his previous experience in gravity with Akassa, this time, it would be a much easier transition. In theory.
Or so he thought. It had been an hour of warming up, and still the prince could hardly breathe. Through stretching and striking air, he still had very labored gasps of air. His weights certainly weren't helping his cause, but Leke knew, he had to do all he could as fast as possible. This was the best way. Gritting his teeth, he struggled to take a knee, looking upward into the heavenly "sky". What Ninjin and Shizukesa and the others had all said to him were getting to him now. Each one, one after the other, wanted him to get better, just as much as he did. They saw something in him, saw what good was in his heart, and how he wanted so bad to make the living world a better place, even if that meant him staying out of it for good. It was his intentions to make peace with his power, not war; unlike some of his relatives.
And for that, he needed strength, speed, stamina - but more than that, the will to move on, to reach new heights. To always look towards his goals, towards stopping his half-sister and saving his people from turmoil. In a flash, he was up, standing on his own two feet against the ten-times-Earth gravity. The former prince flexed his muscles and got to work, more determined than ever to do what he must. His brother, his people... Even his half-sister, they all needed him to do this. "Thank you, Ninjin..." he managed to grunt out between groans and gasps. "But I have to do this alone."
Those words he had said only once before, while Ninjin was still in Heaven with him. All of the training they had done, not only with Shizukesa but with the various powerful inhabitants of Heaven as well, the two trained. Leke saw his brother's immense power, almost rivaling the Kai's own with his Super Saiyan form even beyond what he saw from Akassa before he was killed. As much as they tried and trained, Ninjin could not pull the same results from Leke. He was far weaker than them, there was some strength requirement of sorts, if he was even ever able to transform like them. At least Akassa and Ninjin could, so there was a good chance that Leke could as well. The bloodline was at its strongest, and apparently that was nearly enough. They just had to be strong enough. For the teenager to achieve what his siblings had, it would mean the world to him. It would bring him one step closer to his goals.
With a roar, Leke thrust out one leg, and promptly fell to the ground. He had not the balance to try fighting yet, that much was clear. He painfully lifted his head, and then an arm, raising himself slowly back to a standing position, as painful as it was. It was as if his bones and muscles were paper,or Raditz. "I have to endure," the teen muttered out, slowly flexing and moving his arms and legs, feeling what he could and couldn't do. It was not as bad as the first time he did gravity; the Saiyan knew what to expect, that definitely helped. That still didn't stop him from feeling as helpless as we was. "I just have to get used to it, that's all." He had entered his sister's gravity chamber again after the first time the two trained together, and he had accustomed his body to the increased gravity. Five times was no joke, but now this was ten times. In time, Leke hoped he could advance far beyond what he knew Akassa was at, around forty or fifty. This would only speed up his training; he could take the pain and suffering for the end result.
His bones creaked as he sped up his movements, from something resembling stretching to more along the lines of yoga exercises. The Hattori child pushed himself ever harder to adjust, and once he felt ready, he began to inch forward, sliding his feet across the ground until his feet felt ready to lift. He could walk, barely, and even that was such a strain on his body. Leke's body was covered in sweat from exhertion, just from stretching and walking. "Gah, this is... Gonna be harder than I thought." He resigned himself to take a rest after what seemed like hours of walking turning out to be a fruitless in helping him run.

Leke Hattori had no hint of how long of a rest he took. Hours? Days? Time had little meaning in Heaven. It was daylight always, but rest came easy, and shade and shelter could be found anywhere. However, time still did pass, and with each waking moment, Leke was squandering an opportunity to get better. He quickly rose with more ease than he had before, surprising even himself. He looked at his body and grinned. He had even slept in the gravity, a passive boost perhaps. Leke definitely noticed that it was much easier to move around, he could even run at this point. After a couple minutes of warming up this time, the Hattori was ready to move onto his real training. "I guess I'll have to see how long I can go," Leke stated before bolting off across the meadows.
The thing about Heaven was, it seemed endless. It was like he could run for as long as he wanted and never get anywhere if he didn't want to. On the other hand, if he wanted to be at a certain place or find a certain somebody, just going in any direction found himself eventually getting to where he needed to be. On this day, this run was to nowhere in particular, but the gravity definitely followed him. That much he could confirm now as he increased his pace until he couldn't anymore. At a good running speed but not sprinting, he traveled far and wide, lasting several hours, and at the end of it?
Just huffing and puffing, the feeling of his body deteriorating. It was more than just exhaustion, it was his bones and muscles being torn down by the gravity. Speed... Leke spat on the ground, slowing to a stop to catch his breath now. "Damnit, that's not enough!" he roared as his blood boiled, his aura flared up as he got excited again. "I have to keep going!" The Hattori child immediately dropped to the ground, on his hands and feet, pushing himself up and down again over and over. It was a basic workout, of course, but with all the added weight, it would have a similar effect to a weightlifter. They need explosive power to lift heavy weights, and stamina to lift lower weights for longer. The more he could lift his own body, with the added weights, at ten times Earth's gravity, it was an amazingly strenuous activity.
Five, ten... Leke had only done so little, but his body felt like it was on fire and tearing apart. Strength... Still, he pushed on, determined to push this out until he couldn't do any more. Twenty, twenty-five... Gah! He collapsed, his weight far greater than what his arms could handle. Leke couldn't do more than shake his body, struggling hard to even lift his own head up. His vision blurred, trying to summon the will to get up. "I, I gotta do... One more..." he managed to get out, but his body failed him. He relaxed and let his body go limp. This would be alright for now. He would have to finish this when his body allowed him to.
