Model Zero zoomed past and around the Ape/Rabbit monster, passing under its arm, over its shoulder, between his legs and under an arm again as the beast attempted to swat him out of the sky. Every opportunity he had, the android took a jab at its thick hide with his energy blade. Passing by the things ear, Zero would yell out his name. "Shun!" The android would attempt to disorient the creature as its large and sensitive ears take in the sound of its name. It was pure speculation, but perhaps it would start associating the word and recognize it as its name. In spite of all, the rabbit spliced Oozaru was considerably more avid than an ordinary one -there was truly none other of its kind. As a result, it was only a matter of time before the beast managed to catch Model Zero and hold the android in its hands. It's sheer power and ferocity was enough to immobilize the android in his current state, but it would only remain so for what appeared to be several seconds.
The jewel on the android's forehead suddenly began to emanate a surprisingly teal glow. From the jewel a destructive barrier would form and expand around him at a five feet radius. The barrier itself could only last for a few seconds, but if the wild beast decided to keep holding it, its hands would suffer significant damage as its fur singed off its flesh. If successful and Zero managed to break free from the monster's grasp, he would immediately level his left hand with palm facing towards the Oozaru's chest and unleash a yellow wave of energy. "Hell's Flash!" The sphere of ki swelled and thickened as more energy flooding into it before it burst into a full out blast of burning ki that illuminated the darkened skies.

The monster tried it's best to get the aggravating man out of the sky. It started to confuse and anger the animal even more as the android was flying around, under and over in quick unpredictable patterns. The monster snarled and growled as the android sliced and cut at him. As the monster swung and missed at an attempt to squash the android, zero had already made his way to the ape-rabbits ear. "Shun!" was shouted out into the monsters huge ears and they were indeed sensitive, it's eye had twitched and it started grabbing and pulling on its ear, stumbling around and whimpering. Regardless it recovered and the juggernaut of a monster snarled and roared at zero, pissed off and getting on all fours, quickly charging Zero, looking at him with its glowing red eyes. The monster slid on the ground like a baseball player avoiding a tag out, managing to finally get the android in his grasps. The monster began to squeeze zero but stops almost immediately.
The ape-rabbit began to become mesmerized by the nice shiny blue-greenish rock on Zero's forehead. As he reached for it with his freehand, a bubble would start to form and enlarge around the android. The creature was curious and kept squeezing until it felt a warm sensation.. now a burning hot sensation. The monster yelped as he let go of the android and punched his hand into the ground, thinking the dirt may cool and make his burned hand better so that he may get back to dealing with the pesky android. As the beast looked up towards the zero, he could see that the android was about to do some serious damage perhaps. As the monster pulled its hand from the ground it was blinded by the bright yellow flashes of ki, covering its eyes and swatting its hand around aimlessly, trying to get its sight back while also trying to get zero.

Model Zero spread his limbs wide as the barrier extended fiercely. The beast attempted to keep him contained, but when you play with fire, you get burned. The android successfully averted the Oozaru's large hands and freed himself from its grasp. Just as it started burying its hands in the dirt, seeking to mend its wounds, Model Zero started preparing the Hell's Flash. Unfortunately, the beast got back up and -in a blind rage, aimlessly smacked the android out of the sky. His energy wave disrupted, the android crashed into the dirt. Model Zero was full of bruises and chipped armor pieces, but he was still far from defeated. One of two things would happen by the end of this; Shun would gain control over the beast within, or he would lay unconscious on the desecrated plains of the simulated Avalon. As Zero climbed back to his feet, AEVA would speak through the intercom, her robotic voice echoing amidst the thundering clouds above.
"Shun! We believe in you, you can do it!" She said, hoping her voice might awaken the young saiyan slumbering within the vile creature.
Whether or not her words were reaching him, there was no way of knowing. Crouching slightly to gain impulse, Zero heaved off the ground and into the air. The area he was standing on soon crumbled from the pressure of his acceleration as a shockwave burst at his wake. The android was headed straight for the Oozaru's center mass at blinding speeds; although not as fast as the ape/rabbit, as he was also hindered by the heavy armor he bared. Would Shun regain consciousness? Would Zero defeat the beast? Or perhaps... was Zero's decision of unleashing the boy's hidden power more than he bargained for?

"Shun! We believe in you, you can do it!"
The rabbit monster went to pounce at Zero but he stopped himself at the sound of AEVA's voice, yanking him out of his rage. His eyes twitched as he fell to his knees, making a loud boom as his arms and ears hung down to the side. His mouth dropped and a tear came out of his right eye. His glowing red eyes spotted Zero again nearly instantly and he snorted. Sometimes things seem so hard to endure.. But things can be interesting if you learn.. Learning is only one thing in life that all living things do.. Just like another thing in life would be death. Some are reborn. Shun had snapped back into conscious and control of his body now. His breathing was still a bit irregular, but his hearing was perfect again, and he could hear his breath rushing in and out. The fire had gone. The fire that urged him to destroy and become chaotic...
"M-miss..........A..EV..A..." The creature said in a deep voice, looking up at the sky. He the looked around and what he saw had wrenched my soul apart.. So much destruction and seeing a scratched up Zero.. The boy's rage had consumed his entire being, making him writhe in anger, He was unconsciously aware at that time. The child had came back to reality, feeling the pain and anger drain out from his body, looking down at his beast hands. Heaving a shaky breath, the beast had risen to his feet and frowned at Zero. "I am so sorry mister Zero... I-I could not control it... I tried my best to make sure not to hurt y-you.." The monster inhaled out of habit, filling his lungs up with unneeded oxygen and exhaling, scratching his huge ears and looking around, still taking in the destruction and chaos he has caused..

No matter what happened, the fight would soon end in just a few more moves, the android thought. He had already anticipated how the beast would reach, and so he was prepared for clawed hand which was cocked back to pounce at him. For all it's worth, the rabbit spliced Oozaru halted at the sound of the robotic voice resounding over the heavens. Model Zero ceased his attack, stopping just above as the beast dropped to its knees, tears streaming from its face as it looked towards Zero. Gazing at the sky, it spoke AEVA's name. The dark storm clouds seemed to part and sunlight beamed down over them, illuminating the devastated lands. Zero's face was stern as he sheathed away his weapon and descended towards the ground.
Ivan would speak soon, "Don't worry Shun, this was all a simulation. You should feel proud actually, I know many saiyans who still haven't been able control their Oozaru transformation. Yet you've done it in less than day! Look around you Shun, this is the power you hold. You once thought yourself insignificant, but this exercise has proven that your actions have an effect on your surroundings -and others. Take responsibility for the power you now hold." As he said this, a few seconds were spared so the young saiyan could study his surroundings before Avalon faded and brought them back into the white training chamber where they had begun their sparring. Shun's vomit was still on the same spot it had been since the beginning. Ivan would enter the training room with AEVA in tow, stopping next to Zero, and looked up at the giant Shun. The scientist smiled. "Why don't you come down here. Training is over. Take a bath, rest, eat, I still have more to tell you."

"Take responsibility for the power you now hold."Shun gently fell to his knees again and brought his huge fists to the ground, lowering his head and staring at the floor that had changed back into the training room. Those words... Ivan.. he always knew what to say to the boy. If someone were to ask on a scale of 1 to 10 how good Ivan and AEVA were to shun he would state that they are both above rating. To him they were perfect in every sense. The boy began to wiggle his huge fingers, he can feel ki resonating.. maybe one day he will learn how to see his own and use it like his mentor did. Today was very painful and yet.. very beneficial... This child would be lost without these people that are in his life. The ape-rabbit looked at Zero, showing no expression, Just as the child thought he could out smart the android, he was forcibly turned into an ape. Zero did what he must because sometimes limits must be pushed to have progress... Shun just nodded at zero and then looked at AEVA, Shun could see his mother in the android woman's eye's. He felt like he had made her proud just by giving it his all against zero. And then he looked at Ivan and smiled, showing rows of sharp, big teeth, "I... I think I would like that a-and I am very hungry... but ummm.." He laughs softly, "How do I get back to myself?"

For once, AEVA and Ivan were completely clueless. The two looked at each other and the scientist shrugged. "That's... a good question." He stated. Nobody within the room had experience transforming into a giant ape monster, so they had no idea how to revert the process. The artificial moon had already expired, so that couldn't have been the solution. And every time Model Zero dragged the bio-android to train, Muneate would have been knocked out cold, transforming her back to her humanoid state. However, knocking out the poor boy was a bit sadistic. There had to be another way...
"Close your eyes and clear your mind of everything," Zero started. Ivan and AEVA glanced at the red android, gawking with eyes wide open. "Take a deep breath, Shun, and as you exhale, feel all your power drift away." If the young saiyan did as he was told, he should have slowly regressed to his base state. The android would notice his master staring at him and explained. "Miss Della." He responded, promptly after turning away and retiring from the training chamber.
As mentioned before, Zero had been receiving special training from Delashano, Headmistress of the Mystic and Martial Arts Academy. The android had picked up many skills and valuable knowledge during the past six months, knowledge that -Ivan admitted- had considerably changed the android's mental state. It was, perhaps, meager and slow, but he was definitely changing. If nothing got in his way, the android would depart. Ivan and AEVA would find themselves alone with the young saiyan. "Let's get you cleaned up."

As the monster closed his eyes, he started to match an equal-length inhale to an equal-length exhale with his breathing.. This started to calm the ape-rabbit's nervous system, lowering his blood pressure, and reducing the stress that he was put through today. Simply the monster just breathed in and out through his nose, maintaining a slight contraction in the back of his throat. Slowly he started shedding body hair and his muscle mass decreased. He would keep his calm breathing up until his monstrous appearance faded away and a little boy appeared, laying on his stomach, looking up at Ivan and AEVA through his torn up sweater. The young saiyan child got up and smiled at them and walked up to them both, hugging Ivan and AEVA tightly before following them, "Im hungry too.. I could use a nice steak... and mmm.. carrots! Oh! Can you make carrot stew, Dad?-" The boy caught himself, "-I-I mean m-mister Ivan?" The saiyan rabbit child stumbled on his words and a wave of silence overcame him... This boy was grateful for everything. Sure, there are lots of people who talk of gratitude… but how often do they apply that to the circumstances and chances that come their way every day? The world could be ending, or we could loose our steak, or our only brotherly figure to look up to is an android which makes you loose your well deserved food and then proceeds to purposely turn you into a rampaging beast, or worrying about if a faerie goddess will notice you again or not, or someone doesn’t love us as we’d like… do these cause anger/anxiety/unhappiness, or can we be just be damn grateful?.. Shun had never made complaint.. instead he just found a way to be grateful, no matter what. And then smile through out all the trials he had to face up to this point and the test's surely would not end here for the little boy.. This unbending habit had always been apart of Shun's persona.. He loved his family to no end.

As the android predicted, the young saiyan would soon find himself shrinking back to his original form with nothing but his ripped clothes remaining from the battle. Shun had sustained significant bruises and wounds, but it was nothing a healing chamber couldn't fix. Surprised was Ivan as the boy promptly embraced him and AEVA so suddenly; more so when Shun called him 'Dad'. Ivan flinched slightly, not expecting to ever hear such a word, but the boy quickly corrected himself. The scientist looked at the boy perplexed, unsure of how to react. Was this a good thing? Should he allow the boy to become so familiar with him? After all, the closer the boy felt to Ivan, the easier it would be to command him. A few seconds must have passed before the scientist realized he had been staring in silence with a stern look on his face. Ivan quickly fixed it with a wide smile, pretending he didn't hear what the boy said and instead focused on the carrot stew. "Carrot stew? Of course! I'll get the chef started! We'll have carrot stew with a big ol'steak slapped right in the middle!" the red man said, turning away as he continued babbling about all the food they were about to feast upon.
AEVA kneeled next to Shun and carefully grabbed his hand, attempting to not injure him any further. "While they get that carrot stew running, you should use our healing chambers. If you don't get treated soon, you'll have big ugly scars all over your body."
The healing tanks weren't so different from the big chamber Ona had kept Shun locked in for so long, however these were not exactly 'test tubes' but large metal contained bolted to the ground. Inside, the boy would be strapped to a mask that allows him to breath and releases soothing gases that help instigate sleep. Wounds healed faster while asleep. He would be submerged in a green regenerative liquid for about an hour or so before he was awoken once more and taken to the dining room. Ivan would be waiting, sitting at one end of the table. The door was guarded by the same hera as before, still bloated from the feast he had. The soldier couldn't believe they were already eating again, he could barely stand! AEVA would stand where she had before, next to the table and in-between Ivan and Shun. Model Zero was absent.
"Nice of you to join us, Shun. How was your bath? Relaxing I hope." By now, the boy must have felt reinvigorated and clean. Word has it that saiyans became stronger after every fight. "Take a seat and lets start eating!" The scientist said as he took a spoon in his hand and began to dip into his carrot stew. Inside the bowl, there were small cut pieces of steak floating amongst the carrots like Easter eggs. There were still important matters Ivan needed to discuss with the boy, but he would wait until Shun ate first as it might make him lose his appetite again.

The child's mouth watered, at Ivan telling him about the food they were about to chow down on later. Though the boy was bruised, cut, and scratched up, all he could think about was food, food and more food. He swallowed loudly and licked his lips as a bit of saliva escaped his tiny mouth. He smiles widely and rubbed his stomach as he walked with the android woman and the red man. Shun tummy rumbled fiercely as Aeva took shuns hand and he looked at her, smiling and blushing, "Y-yes miss AEVA.. I don't want ugly scars!" With his free hand, the boy rubbed the scar on his cheek, having a flash back to when Zero made the cut during their training. His mind started to think that what if zero would have went a step further... the boy had a gravely ill look upon his face as he walked with AEVA to the healing tanks. His frown turned into a smile as he was instructed to get into the pod and she encouraged him to relax and let the green liquid fill up the tank.
The boy fell asleep quickly and it only felt like a quick minute as he was awoken, feeling fresh and clean. Not a scratch nor a scar anywhere to be found on the child as he stepped out and changed into red bathrobes that AEVA had provided him. Man... this kid felt like he was living the rich life now! As the boy followed AEVA out of the tank room, he yawned as he was in fact still tired and ready to call it a night after he ate and would have word with Ivan. If there is anything that makes your muscles go limp and release all the tensions they built up all day, it's a good hot bath! As they entered the dining hall, Shuns ears stood erect and his eyes glistened as he is hit with the smell of a hot steak. He walked over to his table and pulled up his char, looking across the table at Ivan. "That was the best bath ever Ivan! Thank you!" The child smiled and waved at Ivan and began digging in, not using the eating utensils he was presented with on the side of his bowl, he would just use his hands and with a mouth full he said, "I-I love this robe! Its soft and warm!" He smiles and swallows the food, letting out a loud 'AH!' sound, immediately eating more and finishing rather quickly.

The scientist smiled as the boy scarfed down his meal. He was a bit turned off by the boy's ill manners, but that was hidden within the facade of his gentle exterior. Ivan looked to his bowl, not even a quarter of the way done -barely a minute passed- and the young saiyan had already finished. He couldn't believe the boy ate so fast despite the stew's boiling temperature -much less how he managed to do so with his hands. "Do you want seconds?" He offered. If the boy said yes, then AEVA would replace Shun's bowl with a fresh batch of carrot stew. Ivan would sit there for a moment, giving the boy another chance to relax before taking on a serious demeanor. The scientist put his spoon down and rest his arms on the table with hands interlocked. AEVA would remove his bowl, as to reduce distractions.
"Shun, you have come a long way since we first met, and I have to say I am proud of what you have achieved. You are now prepared to go on your very first mission with Zero, now listen closely, this mission is of utmost importance and depends entirely on your ability to make decisions and think rationally. As you already know, AEVA is an artificial intelligence program based on Earth. We believe enemies may track our location by using her central base on Earth; not to mention, she is completely vulnerable and without protection. Anyone could stumble in her hidden base and cause serious damages. Your mission is to travel to Earth with Model Zero and retrieve AEVA's core. Do you feel up to the task?"

Shun nodded very fast, "Another please, hehe!" The child had exclaimed with a squeaky laugh. As AEVA brought him another bowl, he had licked his lips and rubbed his stomach, preparing to devour the next bowl. The boy was so happy that he got to make Ivan proud today.. I guess one could say that the rabbit boy's happiness was determined by how happy and content the people around him are, especially Ivan. he was ready to tackle the next mission and would listen in on what Ivan was telling him, wasting no time as he dug into the next bowl! This time he would focus on using the silverware that was displayed. At first the boy did not notice and now he uses them. Eating at the same pace as before.
With a mouth full, the boy looked serious and held his fork to the sky, his eyes glimmering with hope, "I CAN DO IT MISTER IVAN! I will look for AEVA's core and bring it back along with zero! I-I will make you both even more prouder-er....er..." He swallows and then proceeds to pick up his bowl, tipping it and finishing off the other half of the stew. He set's it down and he begins nipping with his little teeth on the bathrobe. Shortly after, the boy roared out a huge yawn and scratches his neck, "When do I leave for the mission, mister Ivan? I am so eager to get out into the field and get some work in and learn more!"

"I'm glad to see you're eager. You will depart as soon as Zero arrives. He's on a mission at the moment, in Whitewater." Ivan smiled and reached for a glass of wine. Taking a sip, he looks at the red liquid as he swirls the glass in his fingers. "However, don't think this mission will be easy, Shun." As he said the boy's name, the scientist's eyes shifted from the glass to the boy sitting across the table. "Like the Omega Collective, things have changed for the worst on Earth. Can you guess who's the cause?" Ivan set his glass on the table and allowed the boy to consider his question before answering. By now, 'the saiyans' should have been the first thing that popped up on the boy's mind. After all, ever since he and Ivan met, the saiyans were at the roots of everything. "During your absence, Akassa Hattori, saiyan queen of New Vegeta descended upon the Earth." Shun would remember the name. Ivan spoke of Akassa once before. She was the woman who killed her own parents and claimed ownership of the saiyan throne. Apparently, that wasn't enough for her, she needed more...
"She went to Earth, whom were supposedly allies to the saiyans for centuries, and gave them an ultimatum. The earthlings were to surrender to her and submit themselves to her will, or perish. Of course, they resisted and a war broke out on Earth." Ivan lowered his head into his hands with his elbow propped on the table, his face troubled and angered if Shun could see past the strands of white hair falling over his face. "All those people, Shun, killed without mercy. Yet another atrocity committed by those saiyans. In the end, she defeated all who stood in her path and took dominion over an ally planet by force. She claims that all under her kingdom will be protected, but they didn't need protection, Shun. They were fine until the saiyans came along." The scientist lifted his face and looked at the boy with dread in his eyes. His arms trembled slightly as he lowered it on the table. "To be honest, I'm terrified. Now you know why this mission is so important. If she found AEVA's core, she could track us down and cause another war right at our doorstep! Shun, do not take this mission lightly, for it could cause you your life. I am genuinely sorry for placing such a burden on you..."

Shun's licks his lips and dons a face of seriousness at hearing the name "Akassa Hattori". He sets his eating utensils in his bowl and swallows softly, glancing around at the others briefly before taking a deep breath. "I remember.." He said in a low voice, looking at Ivan. The child would take his hands off the table and place them in his lap, looking down at them, trying to contain his anger. There was an apparent frown on his face now as he glanced back up at Ivan, looking unsettled. "I am not scared dad, I am ready to finally get out there... I was tired but now im ready to go, please mister Ivan!" Shun rose up and picks his bowl of finished food up, looking at AEVA, "Buuut i can go for thirds!" He nervously chuckles.
Shun walked around the table, stretching his legs and yawning, "Im not tired, im ready!"

The scientist chuckled and waved at AEVA. The android placed another bowl of carrot stew in front of the young saiyan. "I figured you'd say something like that," he said. "However, do not mistake bravery with foolishness, you should be afraid. Do not underestimate Akassa's power. When you go to Earth, no one must know of where you came from. If they ask, you still live in Alpha Prime. If you meet Akassa, bow down to her and do as she asks until you get a chance to escape." Ivan was very serious when he said this. The boy must understand that keeping their location and his intentions secret were of utmost importance. Unveiling them could very well end them before anything ever began. When Shun had started walking around the table, Ivan noticed the boy had still been wearing his robes. "Zero will be here anytime now. Shun, go change into more fitting clothes and prepare for departure."
