Spar between a King and a Queen [ Kinoko]

There was no one but then inside the throne room and Nasu was just sitting there on his throne with a very serious expression on his face. When Kinoko opened the door, deep inside his heart he smiled, but his expression remained unchanged as he stood up from the throne and took a few steps towards her. His mate asked if everything was alright and he sighed deeply, gazing away for a second as his brains tried to come up with a proper way to express himself. ”No, it is not.” he said with a bitter tone before staring back at her with his dark eyes.

”I’m torn.” he said, pausing yet again and folding his arms in front of his chest. ”I have the Seed of Might, but I can’t find a proper planet, thriving with life, to plant it. Earth would be too troublesome with those bastards and traitors protecting it, and I can’t do it on Kold because of my word and I never go back on it.” he clicked his tongue. ”I feel irritated for having a huge weapon and nowhere to use it! To make matters worse, my power… It’s not growing as much as it used to. I feel like… I feel like my body is reaching its limits. I know I’m stronger than even my father was at his prime, but… Truth be told, Kinoko, I feel this god form is still incomplete. The energy is too unstable and it’s absurdly tiring once a certain time passes… It is dangerous to use in battle, and yet, that bastard Lagerus could display her godly powers left and right. No… There must be something beyond the Super Saiyan God.” he exhaled sharply, showing his irritation.

”So… I’m pushed into a corner; I can’t get stronger easily. Our forces are reduced and I can’t risk waging war against a strong planet such as Earth without losing people, and that’s something that I, as a King, can’t do. It would make me no different from the bastards I hate, such as Lettis.” he stated, pausing for a brief moment yet another time. ”So… As a King, I’ve came to realize that the solution for that is not within my own power, but yours. Not only yours but all of our forces’ power. Laufey is working hard on bringing Miso back thanks to the information you’ve managed to give to him, but it’s not enough. I need you, Tomina, Carva, Tarro and the others to increase your power level, to ascend beyond a super saiyan. The strength of our Kingdom lies upon you, their Queen, and our elite warriors.” he said, and now his irritation seemed to have diminished. "And because of that I feel I need to train you. So that you can grow not only stronger in body and ki, but in mind. That way you can be truly free.” and he narrowed his eyes as he said that last part.

Nasu had been so concerned with things that he almost forgot how it felt like to be embraced by Kinoko and when she did so, he could sense the shivers running down his spine and that made him crack something that in the distance might resemble a smirk. In any case, Kinoko mentioned the other planets, but then Nasu shook his head. ”No… Weak planets with little life are worthless to the Tree of Might. The planet must thrive; otherwise the tree will die without sprouting a new seed. This test would cost us our greatest weapon for little to no gain.” he stated. As much as he would like to test it and allow the weakest of his forces to get a power up, it would be too dangerous and he didn’t want to end up losing the weapon after a single use. No, he wanted to make the most out of it.

Following that she spoke a little bit more, saying he was busy building a Kingdom, but still it bothered him that he was failing to improve, but he decided to just nod, faking agreement; she was trying to cheer him up, after all, and it would be kind of jerkish of his part to just scoff it off. But she was right about something: his god powers were too hard to control and he was having a very tough time indeed, but maybe, if he could possibly refine his normal and godly ki even more, it would grow to become easier and easier, until he could possibly attain a level of control that resembled Lord Lagerus, and when that was to be reached, he would be able to face the God of Destruction and who knows what would happen? The thought pleased him and made him chuckle.

Back to business, though, it was a good thing she wanted to train and more than that, she wanted to grow beyond her weakness regarding the Demon Queen, which was perfect. Nasu chuckled a bit and, kissing her another time, let go of their embrace and walked towards the middle of the throne room, which was very large, enough for them to go all out without the risk of damaging the palace, and when she teased him he stared back at her with a cocky smile on his face. ”Worry not, we will make it even rougher than our training tonight.” and he meant it.

Then, Nasu slid to the Soy School fighting stance and stood his ground for a moment. ”My father’s school is rough. It uses powerful blows to severely injure the opponents. The stance is absolutely important, because it will allow your body to use the most of your strength. I think this is a style that will match that odd transformation of yours, my queen!” and said in an excited tone. It was amazing that she had the same form Athren displayed, and, truth be told, she would possibly become one of the pillars of strength of their Kingdom, once she trained a bit more.

Kinoko tried to copy the stance and, maybe because of her previous experience with fighting, she managed to get a clumsy, yet not completely useless stance. Nasu’s smirk widened a bit and he shook his head. ”No, that’s not even close, but at least you are not completely open. Don’t worry, my queen, it takes some time to understand the basics of it, but… In the meantime… Let’s try and learn it with our fists!” he said and, with that being stated, Nasu took a very deep breath as he lowered his own energy signature in order to somehow match Kinoko’s own power level, so that this training session could be something more than an one-sided slaughter.

[Ki Suppression On. PL: 180,000]

”Yeah, this sounds about right for now.” he spoke mostly to himself as he opened and clenched his left fist trying to take a proper look on his own power reading; it was hard to sense your own power level because you have to live with it every day, but at least they were somehow even now and he was satisfied. This wasn’t solely for Kinoko, though; Nasu needed to learn how to better control his power, otherwise every time he transformed into Super Saiyan God his energy would be leaking so much that he would be drained in less than ten minutes or so. ”Ten minutes… It’s enough to kill most of my enemies, but against that annoying brat it may not be enough. I could kill him of course, but I don’t want to actually do that. Just beat him senseless.” he thought of his younger brother Komatsu and his smirk faded a bit. ”And of course there’s that power I sensed from the shit and fart duo… They are in hell, that much I can tell… My sensing ability increased absurdly ever since I tapped into the realm of the gods… But Jarvis came back from the dead once and I can definitely see him doing it again in the future. No… Nobody is safe, not even with my godly powers. I need to become stronger!” and that resolution was clear in his eyes and, with that, Nasu burst his ghostly-white ki aura and, dashing forward at an impressive speed, he aimed to throw a powerful hook to Kinoko’s guts.

”Now let’s fight!” he would say after throwing the punch, wondering how she would’ve reacted.

Nasu smirk widened a bit when she spoke to him and he just scoffed afterwards. ”Nobody can die here and places can be rebuilt. I won’t care if we wreck it to pieces, I just want you to go all out against me, otherwise you won’t stand a chance!” and with that being said, their training begun. Nasu’s attack was dodged by Kinoko with grace, a grace she learned with her Demon Arts, but this was the Soy School training, and Nasu would teach her that the hard way and because of that, he quickly turned around to face her yet again. The saiyaness tried kick his side, but the attack was far too obvious and he just hopped upwards, completely avoiding it as if he didn’t even have to make an effort.

After the hop, as he began falling back to the ground, Nasu adjusted his left elbow in a downwards attack, aiming at Kinoko’s shoulder. Elbow and knee strikes were part of the Soy School fighting style, especially because of how hard they could hit and how much damage they could cause. Natto created this style and Natto was known for being absolutely savage while fighting against his opponents, but Nasu took it to the next level; he was far more cruel than his father, being akin to his mother’s battle mode, with the sole difference that Nasu had it turned on most of the time so he learned how to deal with that in a more natural manner.

”If you don’t commit to the style, we won’t go anywhere! Be a brute! Come at me to hurt me! To break me! That’s the Soy School! If you don’t, Kinoko, you will be beaten to the pulp and I’m showing you no mercy! Hehehe!” he teased her as he attacked her, hoping to summon that beastly rage she had within her heart.

Against all odds, after tanking his elbow strike, Kinoko grabbed Nasu and threw a knee to his guts, hitting him right at his battle suit and making him bend his body a bit and grunt. ”Ugh!” in response to that, he aimed to throw a headbutt against her forehead and thus put some distance in between them. Should it work or not, he would flare his ghostly-white ki aura again and dash backwards for a bit, to put a few feet in between them as he fell back to his Soy School stance with a large smile on his face.

”Now we are talking business! This is the sort of attitude we need in the Soy School! And, if you want, go ahead and become a super saiyan! Things will get far more interesting for both of us, hahahaha! I’ve heard you almost wrecked the whole palace last time you were on that form… I want to test it myself!” he said, chuckling a bit more as he felt the thrills of the fight in the form of shivers running down his spine.

Kinoko had managed to dodge his headbutt and he was a bit proud of her skill, but now it was not the time for compliments as they had much to train. Once they were apart from each other, she began transforming into what seemed to be a brutish form of Super Saiyan, far more evil looking the Athren’s version back at the day and that made Nasu laugh a bit. ”True Super Saiyan, that’s what that prick called it. Well, I have to admit, it’s quite strong, but…” and by clenching his fist in front of his face, Nasu’s aura burst in bright golden as his hair spiked and his eyes turned teal; he was now into his fully powered super saiyan state and, while the multiplier in power was smaller than Kinoko’s own, which made her transformation quite a feat, mind you, he could quickly address that by lifting a bit of his ki suppression to, once again, match her own power.

[Super Saiyan Full Power. PL: 3,500,000]

”Yes… Seems about right, a third of my full power.” he announced, teasing her a bit in order to make her a little angrier that he had to hold back so much in order to be a fair match; Nasu wanted her to embrace her fury and come at him with all she’s got because that was the only true way someone would be capable of mastering the Soy Arts. As Kinoko charged against him, aiming to ram Nasu and send him flying towards the opposite wall, he just snap vanished from sight, reappearing behind her, already ready to attack her with full force.

”Impressive power, and speed. Even though you bulk you don’t seem to lose agility!” he took note, commenting about it. ”But I’m faster!” he roared as he rushed towards Kinoko, aiming to strike her face with his elbow once again. However this time Nasu had much more speed and force behind his attack. ”Flash Spirit!” and thus he used the first technique of the Soy School, aiming to, after hitting her with the elbow strike or if she reacted to it, he would follow up with a reverse kick, aiming to send her flying against one of the throne room’s walls.
