Breaking Point [Nasu]

Karota was lying down on Miso’s arm after… Well… A mating session or something like that when her scouter beeped on the nightstand of her bedroom. She shuddered a bit in a lazy tone before she managed to grab the blue-colored advanced scouter and put it over her left ear. Miso muttered something indistinguishable, probably complaining about the noise and rolled to the other side, going back to sleep. Then, upon placing it on her ear, she listened to the message Kyuri had sent, about Komatsu, saying he was in some serious need of learning to suppress his power level. The hybrid saiyaness sighed in annoyance and stretched her limbs, yawning loudly.

– Right now? I’ve just… woke up! – she said in a little complaining tone, but then she sighed and, before Kyuri could even answer, she spoke again. – Alright, alright! I will put by battle suit on and I will be there in… a couple minutes! – she said, turning off her scouter and leaving it in the nightstand again. The hybrid saiyaness then got up, naked as she was born, with her tail saying from one side to the other. She reached her clothes and put on her pinkish red jumpsuit, her baggy battle pants and her simples white battle suit. Then, she put on her red wristbands and her black boots and wrapped her tail around her waist in a belt-like fashion, before flying away from the window of the bedroom, leaving Miso there to sleep for a couple more hours; he was always lazy after mating and so was she.

The saiyaness yawned a couple more times on her way to the hospital, but it took her less than a minute to get there and, upon getting there, she headed straight towards the chamber where Komatsu was being kept. Once there she stared at the scene and immediately understood what was going on. The folded her arms and sighed in annoyance, rolling her eyes in her orbits. – Really? Is that what I think it is? He is getting poisoned by his own ki? – her tone was of complete disapproval, but at least she seemed to get what was actually going on there, which would save quite a lot of explanation. In fact, Karota was probably the most knowledgeable on ki of the whole Saiyan Alliance, and that was a bless.

Karota stared at Komatsu on that sorry state and then turned her eyes to Kyuri, who began to explain how she had found him, with some cracks on his skin, like his ki wanted a way out. The hybrid saiyaness shook her head and a subtle grin cracked on her expression. – I dunno why that happened to him, to be honest, but that’s not completely unheard off. His body is failing him. He is too powerful. Way too powerful and his body is now struggling to keep up. You could blame his stunt on zenkai for that. He is still a kid after all. – she said in a quite light tone, which made a heavy contrast on how severe the situation seemed to be. Then, the liquid in the tank began to drain and the saiyaness decided to save more of her explanation for when the kid could participate in the conversation, which would be happening shortly.

Komatsu stared from Kyuri to Karota and said he must have done something stupid, which made the saiyan Colonel to giggle a bit. – You didn’t! Your body did! Your body gave you more power than you can handle! But that’s nothing to be truly worried about, kiddo! I can help you with that. – she said, with a subtle smile on her face. – Allow me to explain. Since you are still a kid, there’s a small chance your body will began to lose the grip over your ki in case you don’t learn to control the energy output. If you don’t, it will start tearing you apart from inside out and you will end up dying a terrible and absurdly painful death! – she said, chuckling a bit as she teased the kid, letting him muse for a brief moment with that scenario before speaking again. – Luckily for you, there’s an easy solution to that problem. Learn how to suppress your ki energy! This will allow your body to naturally handle your energy and grow at its own pace, being able to keep up with your new power level. And for your salvation, I’m quite skilled at controlling ki energy! It will be piece of cake teaching you that! – she said, giggling a bit more before shrugging. – But it will hurt like a bitch! At least, there’s another bright side! It will help you also tap into the fullest potential of the super saiyan form, so it’s pretty much an all-in! You either control it and grow even stronger and your body learns to handle it, or you die! – and then she put both her hands at her waist with a mischievous expression. – Your call! – she ended by saying that.

Karota didn’t bother to answer when Kyuri said she wasn’t the one pushing him to grow stronger; growing stronger was a must and the Alliance needed all the power it could gather. Komatsu burdened that responsibility too, even more than most, since the Alliance was a legacy of his parents and he had to do his best to live to their memories, and he was doing great, despite this small inconvenience that could easily be tended to. It was good to see that he was determinate to overcome that small weakness of his and that was the determination she needed him to have in order to be able to learn to suppress his power level, at least to a basic level. When he said that he must have become a real pain in the ass, she giggled quite a bit.

– It’s quite alright. You and your brother are quite a bucket loaded with trouble, but you two remind me of my two kids. Maybe that’s why I even like you too! Hihi. – she said with a highly spirited tone, but, deep inside her emerald-colored eyes, there was a tad bit of sadness. Komatsu wouldn’t know that, but Kyuri most definitely would have heard about it: Karota lost her husband and her two kids during the Alliance-Empire War, when she was fighting alongside Natto and Tomoroko. They weren’t nearly as strong as she was, but still, Totoma, her husband, was a super saiyan. Her kids were Nasu’s age today, a male and female twins and both brave and decent saiyans. After the war she was quite depressed and it made her lose quite a lot of her power.

In fact, Karota used to be able to ascend up until super saiyan two during her war times. Right now she was but a shell of her prime form. Still, she managed to work around the adversities, even managed to have another kid, but she was very estranged with the baby girl named Tamari, who happened to be Komatsu’s cousin.

– Then, no time to waste! Tell me one thing, Komatsu, can you sense my power level? – she asked, keeping it suppressed at her minimum, a power level of just 5.

When Komatsu said that she would put them into their place just like a mom would’ve, Karota gave him a saddened smile and giggled slowly, almost without a true happiness behind it, but other than that, she didn’t allow any other feeling to arise to surface. People say that parents never forget the death of their child and that losing a child is far worse than losing parents. It may be true because of the natural flow of life. Then, Komatsu said that he could sense her if she is close enough and paying attention. She nodded and stared at Kyuri. – Uncuff him. – she asked.

Then, she stared back at Komatsu and cracked a smirk with the corner of her mouth. – Now, tell me what you feel. – she said and, as soon as the cuffs were taken away, Karota flared a faint golden ki aura around her body. Her hair grew considerably and became spiked and light gold in color. Her emerald-color eyes turned teal as she ascended to her Super Saiyan Full Power state. But what was surprising in her transformation was that her power level didn’t change a single bit and she giggled upon finishing her transformation.

[Super Saiyan Full Power. Current Power Level: 1,357,768]
[Ki Suppression On. Current Power Level: 5]

– So, Komatsu, what do you feel? – she asked with a cheeky tone. Her faint golden aura disappeared, leaving her at a super saiyan state but with such a natural look, that it seemed almost like it had become her base form.

The boy was injured but he was getting a grasp of it and slowly but certainly he was managing to suppress his ki energy output and, with that, the damage would cease. Komatsu kept on going until he reached around a power level of five, just like Karota. The hybrid super saiyaness nodded and giggled a bit. – That’s it Koma! Very good! – she complimented him as he finally learned how to suppress his power level to its bare minimum. It was clear to her, though, that it was just a basic level and he couldn’t use techniques and keep it suppressed, but learning this technique was enough to fight against the ki poisoning and, from this point onward, his body would be much more used to his new level of power.

– Try ascending without flaring your rage. Try to do it by carefully tapping into your full potential in the most natural way possible, just like you did to suppress your power. Don’t let it go loose, but with caution and in a good proportion. With that, you will ascend to a Super Saiyan Full Power. Maintain that form for a week, sleep on it, and your body will get used to this new power and you will be totally free from this condition of yours. – Karota explained, staring at the boy with her teal eyes, waiting for him to do what she had just said.

Karota watched as he struggled a bit before finally managing to fully understand how it worked and ascend into the fully powered super saiyan form. The hybrid Colonel clapped once and giggled a bit, feeling rather proud of the kid. – Great! That’s it, Koma! That’s exactly it! I bet you feel pretty good, right? No pain and stuff? – she said in a highly spirited tone. Then, she looked towards Kyuri and winked at her, happy that she had helped Komatsu.

Following that, she sighed as she returned to her base form. Then, Karota spoke again, this time to Kyuri. – I’m happy I’ve helped. It’s good to see him controlling his form. My son, Mato… He was so close to ascend, during the war. It’s like… I’m seeing him through them. I wonder how he would be today…. If he was alive… - Karota sighed with a much more saddened mood now. Then, she turned around, without waiting for thanks or anything, and flew away from the medical chamber. Although she was tough, she was still a mother, and she missed her deceased kids quite a lot.
