Challenge The Icer Lord. [Grav Training, Fin]

[Jaxine Caulie]

Activating the Gravity to x10eng (Earths Normal Gravity), Zeke took a few minuets to get used to the new gravity. It was twice that of the x5 he had trained under before. He dropped down and did some push-ups and then spent some time throwing some punches and kicks to get used to it. He then ran the outside of the chamber and then up the wall, across the ceiling and dropped down onto one knee with a slam. He panted heavily, wiping sweat from his brow. The heavy Weights and the leather coat didn't help either. Kazu walked in the room and over to Zeke, handing him a bottle of sports drink. 'Iceraide, Blazing Punch' flavored. He raised an eyebrow. Was this somehow tied to that Slate guy?

"Training hard, or hardly training?" Kazu asked.

Zeke took a long drink. "Hardly training." Zeke said, jokingly. Then he realized... "Kaz, how the hell are you standing there like this gravity is nothing?"

Kazu's expression changed to confusion. "Grav- oh, uhh.... I... spent alot of time on this one high-gravity planet before. Was around a hundred times earth gravity, I think."

Zeke nodded. "I see. Explains why you don't use this for training, you wouldn't gain much from it." he said. Never mind that a hundred times gravity should have crushed Kazu's body, but chances were he would have another explanation.

"Yeah, sure." Kazu said. "Well, you better get back at it, you got a long way to go yet." he said, walking out.

Zeke swung around. "Wait... a long way till what? Kaz!?"

Then the door sealed and the simulator kicked in. Zeke had a bad feeling as the area turned into a ship floating in space. He could feel the massive power coming towards him... he felt it before. "Oh damn... not this guy again."

He turned around.

Zeke was smashed through the wall of the ship and hit the ground in a roll as workers and men in armor scattered in fear. Through the hole in the wall came a shorter figure, floating in the air clad in violet and black armor of a high tech look, consisting of the torso and shoulders, hip guards, shin and forearm protectors. Like he needed it. Zeke looked up into the red eyes of the Acrosian Overlord as he threw his crimson cape behind him, the light reflecting off of the midnight purple dome like section of his head. He smiled. "Yes. This guy. Again." He said. He flicked a button hon his black scouter, a purple holographic lens appearing as he scanned Zeke.

"To think you could challenge me again so early on in your training is futile, Saiyan. I should kill you for your stupidity."

Zeke growled, jumping up and tore the sleeves from his coat. He reached for Muramasa... he had already lost his sword as well!? Maybe he should just drop the weights and attack... but then the Acrosian would follow suit and remove his own. At least, Zeke hoped the plates attached to the shin and forearm guards were weighted.

"I am stronger than last time, and this time I've caught you in your most lesser form with your weights on. If I am ever going to beat you, now is the best time."

Zeke was determined to get stronger. The best way in his mind was to keep fighting the strongest force he had access to, and that was this guy, simply known as Overlord Suki. It was a simulated program that Slate had given him... apparently both he and that Ren guy had trouble defeating this one. He must be quite powerful indeed, especially to shrug off x10 Gravity.

Zeke was about to charge forward when a sudden blast of energy hit him in the chest from nowhere. Suki smirked. "Instant Explosion." He stated, and moved forward. He could attack Zeke without even needing to move!? Zeke stumbled and charged successfully this time with a jumping spin kick. The man floated there with his arms crossed, and vanished in a blur before the kick could connect.

Zeke knew he would appear behind him, but then the man appeared in his face and slammed Zeke with a powerful headbutt before he wrapped his tail around Zeke's neck and twisted sharply to slam him into a wall. He didn't let go. He continued to hold Zeke as he turned from the wall to slam him into the floor and finish by throwing him down the hallway. Zeke hit the back wall and slumped to the ground. The gravity was too much for Zeke in his current state... The Acrosian landed on the ground and walked towards Zeke slowly. He came about ten feet away before he rose a single finger from an outstretched arm.

"Goodbye, foolish Saiyan." He said.

He fired a beam of violet Ki at an alarming speed. Zeke's body exploded into a puff of black smoke as the beam punched a hole through the wall the size of a baseball. The man tilted his head, then glanced over his shoulder. Nothing there? He turned back... Zeke stood inches from the man, looking down on him with glowing white eyes and jet black hair. The Acrosian cursed and tried to strike, but Zeke had already been charging up magical energy under Suki's feet. Before he could throw the punch out, he was slung into the air by a small pillar of matter. Zeke jumped up below the Acrosian and hit him with a strong uppercut.

With his Overdrive initiated, Zeke could match the man's power! The Acrosian didn't seem used to fighting an equal force. He actually did not take it well. After the punch, he grabbed onto Zeke and tossed him aside before throwing both hands out. "Punisher Cannon!"He roared, releasing a wave of Ki at Zeke. Zeke turned to see a wall of purple energy coming at him... Suki released the full power of the attack and then stopped it at its limit. His eyes widened. Zeke stood there unharmed with an energy shield composed of hexagons.

"This is my Aegis Shield. How do you like it?" Zeke asked, as the shield cut out from its use.The acrosian growled and fired a blast from his eyes. Zeke took the shot and fell. He hit the ground... then spied his sword. Zeke jumped up and moved to grab it, but it moved on it's own and flew away. Zeke turned to see Suki holding it. He shook his head and threw it away. Zeke charged the man and threw a punch that he dodged. He returned a kick at Zeke that he blocked and grabbed his leg, turning and slamming him down. He followed with a downward punch but Suki rolled and spun around to slam his tail into Zeke's head. Zeke stumbled and Suki took the chance to swoop in and deliver a blow to the gut and a follow up hook to the head, and then a kick to the shin. Zeke fell to a knee as Suki brought both hands up to axe-handle Zeke, but instead took an uppercut to the chin so hard that it threw him airborne and through the ceiling into another part of the ship.

Zeke sprang up through the hole, landing with a slam in front of the recovering Overlord. and cracked his neck. "Round 2?" he asked the Acrosian.

The acrosian threw out one hand and released his Punnisher Spread, a series of Ki Blasts in a repetitive volley. Zeke turned to smoke and funneled between them, appearing offside Suki and slammed a knee into his gut. He then grabbed his horns and slammed him face first into a wall. Suki's tail slammed across Zeke's chest and threw him back as Suki landed and spun around. Zeke had recovered and was holding his hand out to the side. He smiled as Muramasa came up through the hole and into his hand. Zeke stood, clipping it to his hip and charged Suki with a new technique he was

working on.

"Force Slash!" he roared, putting his full body's energy into one powerful downward Ki slash. Suki threw one arm up and there was a massive clash of Ki that set off a shockwave and collapsed the floor below them. Electricity radiated between them as Zeke noted that Suki had created some kind of Ki Armor on his arm in defense. With another flash of energy, Suki hit Zeke with another one of those Instant Blasts, only at a charged rate this time. Zeke was recoiled back, landing choppily on his feet. Then out of nowhere, the gravity increased dramatically. Zeke fought to resist it, thinking that the chamber must be malfunctioning. However, he looked up to see Suki with an outstretched arm.

"Annoying cur! Hold still and die!" he roared.

He held his other finger over his head and a small ball of Ki appeared. Zeke could feel the energy in the little golf-ball sized energy, and it was massive! If he fully charged that attack and threw it, Zeke could die! Zeke clenched his fists and gathered all the power he had into his body, his aura flaring up as it all drew in.

"Ill show you... a REAL Instant Explosion!"


At that, Zeke drew his arms in and then threw them down at his sides as he threw his head back with a terrifying roar. All the built up energy released and ripped up the entire floor below him, the walls around him, and slammed into Suki with such a force that he lost his attack and was thrown away by the blast. The simulation began to flicker and deteriorate, then shut down completely. Zeke fell to his knees, then onto his side after being completely drained. He was left in just a white walled gravity chamber now. Suki was still there, and approached Zeke.

"Better. But still not close enough." He stated, turning his back and walking away before the simulator orb above sucked his holographic image back inside. That's when Kazu entered again and looked down on Zeke.

"So... training hard, or hardly training?" he asked. Zeke closed his eyes and chuckled.

"Hardly training, Kazu.

[[Training Fin, x10 gravity, Simulator 2.0 and Heavy Weights in effect as well. PL please.]]

[[Requesting techniques:]]


Force Slash: Charging energy into the body, Zeke releases a blinding fast, powerful slash that always requires an x1 charge or more. Along with superior cutting damage that can divide almost any object, the slash itself has enough power to stumble powerful foes, knock back equal powers, and can send weaker opponents flying, along with making the ground shake once and the air pressure divide from the sudden release of the slash, resulting in any object or person to be atomized into debris or paste, respectively. If charged to x2, it can possibly slice an equal power or less in half. Works in motion, and can be coupled with Zanzoken for devastating results.

Instant Explosion: Similar to whatever it was Nappa had, A technique allowing the user to trigger an explosion of pure destructive energy around heir body. Causes a storm of debris to swirl around them to temporarily defend against attackers as the user charges up Ki on their body before releasing it in a massive explosion that devastates the surrounding area. Excellent to use against infantry or structures, and is usable during a transformation.

Any charged techniques cannot be maintained during zanzoken and a debris storm would only offer marginal defense (vs. people who can level mountains). Other than that, techniques approved.
