Fight Saiyan Fight! Training in the Soy Arts Again [Closed]

Cornatto’s arrival on the planet had probably be sensed earlier by Tomoroko or any other entity on the planet, if there were any, he didn’t know what the place was. But it was still above the realms of the living from what he could tell; he couldn’t even sense anyone from the other side, which said most of it. Then again, he guessed that there was no reason for Tomo to be elsewhere since she was dead and for how long? He wondered why both Tomo and Natto never tried to escape before, it wasn’t like it took that much effort from what he had heard-- apparently people escaping left and right from the Afterlife, but whatever. Cornatto was currently enjoying himself in the realm of the dead and wasn’t probably going anywhere.

Tomoroko had already been training before the Earthling Saiyan arrived on the planet, for reasons to him not unknown but probably not something that Cornatto believed would have had such a significant impact on the Saiyan female for her to be that frustrated. He could sense her ki when he had first arrived, and while it was pretty big, she wasn’t nearly as powerful as she used to be before her death.

When Cornatto could finally see Tomo, his eyesight allowed him to see the woman in a torn manner; not only regarding attire but also physically and mentally. He had seen it before, that other Saiyans would push their limits but without success to become stronger than ever and yet it would never go anywhere because it was useless if one would just set their goal right to their final destination. Of course, Cornatto was also excited to reach the Super Saiyan Three transformation, but he was taking it gradually given how it could have made him turn out-- it was one of the most stamina draining alterations for a Saiyan, and he couldn’t certainly risk it.

Then it was also true that the long-haired Super Saiyan transformation was supposed to be more comfortable to achieve in the other world and he wished to see it happen as soon as possible. So he could perhaps understand Tomoroko a little, but their motivations and situations were widely different, but he was going to do his best to help her! Not to mention that training with another Saiyan was undoubtedly going to benefit him too.

Cornatto rubbed the back of his neck and cracked a playful grin as he giggled. He knew that he had taken a while to reach out to her, but he had indeed been busy with the whole recruiting business, not to mention the fact that he also had to look after his progress and training on King Kai’s planet. His growth there had been quite outstanding, and he still had a lot of latent potentials to bring out from both King Kai and also something he had decided to look into, but it was a little bit too soon for that.

He wanted to get stronger, very much stronger than he had ever been. Ever since he had witnessed Lagerus’ strength, he also wanted to reach that level, but it was going to be difficult if he didn’t push himself over the limit once more for him to go beyond and transform into something further than the regular Super Saiyan Three. It was true that it was a big thought for someone who hadn’t even hit his last transformation, but that was exactly what was driving him to get even better; to get stronger and keep making sure he wouldn’t lose and always break his limits. At the moment, Lagerus was the strongest being that he knew of and only soon he’d also find out what sort of people the Universe Four guys are-- he was so excited for this tournament! A competition with another Universe sounded incredibly fun to him, less the erasure thing but in a certain way, he wasn’t even worried about that because he was confident that his Universe would win. He couldn’t possibly know more than that at the moment, but he was sure that even a Saiyan could stand up to the gods!

“Hehe! Sorry, Tomo! I have been busy with the Tournament of Power… but hey! It’s time for us to get started, yeah? Training with another Saiyan will benefit both of us, I am sure!”

The man tapped his chin for a few moments as he looked at her up and down. “Well yeah, you sure look like ya' have been at this for a day! Are you sure you don’t want to take a breath or somethin’?” - the man asked curiously, but he already knew what her answer was going to be, so he simply just tightened his belt around his waist and proceeded to switch to his fighting stance with a faint smirk on his face. “Let’s see how far I can get you to break your limits…”

[Super Saiyan Full Power [x16] | Power Level: 5.801.568]

The Earthling Saiyan powered up in his Super Saiyan form, with a light hint of blonde in his hair, although they were decidedly brighter than a newly found Super Saiyan, sign that he had long since mastered his form and no longer wasted energy over nothing. He recalled that Tomo too could at least still access the mastered power of the legendary warrior, so that was already something, but she could not also transform into a Super Saiyan Two.

The man had spread his legs ever so slightly and bent them, with also his fist placed right in front of his face, half-clenched while the other arm was inclined at a ninety-degree angle next to his hip with his fist wholly closed.

“I hope you still remember this! Try to mimic me and this pose-- for this is the Soy fighting stance, if you want to get back on track, you’ll have to get used to drawing upon this stance when you fight!”

He was almost glad that he had died there for a second, it felt like they had gone back to the times of the Alliance for him to train with another Saiyan such as Tomoroko. Most of his training had been spent with Natto regarding the Soy School, but it was more or less the same thing given Tomo had been one of the founders of the school as well! He couldn’t help but wonder if she wasn’t just going to surprise him for a moment despite her inferior power, he was sure that someone who had managed to muster up all that strength in the past could somehow pull a few tricks out of her sleeves.

She didn’t have sleeves, but that was what he meant; although he couldn’t picture her ultimately defeating him in a one on one, their power gap was too large, but Corn wondered if he could just take her back to the level of the Super Saiyan Two. She wasn’t too far from it; she would have only needed to work hard and let her emotions drive her training. Given the fact that the superior transformation could even be achieved through training, but of course, the latter method was the hardest way to accomplish the stage more significant than a regular Super Saiyan who had learned to control their energy.

Tomoroko herself was apparently some Guardian. So, Universe Seven needed her to watch over the realm while the others would be out there, battling for their survival in the Tournament of Power. If it hadn’t been for the current situation-- with Natto lost and Tomoroko that had also lost control of her power, it’d have indeed been easier, though. But, he guessed they would have had to do with current circumstances and available warriors. It wasn’t like they could do anything else.

The woman immediately decided to step up to the game and begin their training. It made him happy that there was someone else who had been looking forward to this, personally, just like Tomo was relieved that she had found a little spark of the former generation within Cornatto, the latter also felt like that. Natto might not have been there, and it hurt him. Once the Earthling Saiyan wouldn’t have cared for a Saiyan life when he had first begun his journey within a world that as a kid, he wasn’t even aware that extended that much. But after he had met Natto and the Alliance, it shaped his individual into a different person, and as far as he progressed within his power, it felt almost like Natto had passed onto him and the others he had led, the willpower to save the life of all Saiyans.

No matter how evil one Saiyan may have caused, he always spared them. Cornatto simply spared anyone out of kindness, but perhaps a little space in his heart had opened up for the others of his race.

In the end, he had concluded that what Nasu did was primarily reserved for the Saiyan people not to suffer anymore. Although their ways weren’t exactly ones that the man approved of-- he couldn’t certainly blame him to be like Lettis at all, not any longer.

Perhaps, that was the purpose of the final technique of the Soy School. The Spirit of the Saiyans.

The Earthling Saiyan nodded his head, given the fact that she had decided not to rest first, although it looked like she might have used some rest. When he had first issued her to mimic him, a reasonably simple instruction, she did so pretty nonchalantly, and it would have been excellent if she hadn’t assumed an entirely different stance. The Turtle Hermit himself couldn’t muster up the necessary words to call her out on it at. First, that was why he had just limited himself to staring-- that pose, he hadn’t ever learned anything close to the Vegetean Fighting Style, but he had fought people that used it.

He did obviously see through it; she was using the same style that certain people such as the Saiyan General and that Android used. But why was that? Cornatto hadn’t even told her to just switch to a fighting stance; he had told her to mimic him.

“Uhh…”

Cornatto was aware that the Soy School was born out of a variation of said school, but the Soy School eventually got further off the roots of the Vegetean Style and instead became its own thing. But that stance was utterly wrong. It was almost hilarious for Cornatto to see her do that but he didn’t entirely take it too much as a joke as they were supposed to be training at the moment.

The Turtle Hermit blinked, and before he could say anything, the woman noticed her mistake and corrected herself as she finally imitated the taller male. Cornatto quirked an eyebrow at her reaction, it didn’t feel that natural, but he guessed he didn’t have any reason to inquire any further at the moment.

The male smiled and chuckled. “Alright, be serious now, though! You reminded me of our old foes and their amazing power back then… you will excite me like that! It’s true I gotta push you to your limits, but I don’t want to go all out just yet either, hehe.”

The Earthling Saiyan was sure that he would have accidentally let out a little too much power like that other time on Kaio-sama’s planet. He had undoubtedly learned to contain himself, but he couldn’t help it at times but unleash his full power when his Saiyan Blood would make him experience the vivacity of a good battle!

“Get ready… because we fight now!”

Without further warnings, the man immediately stepped into the challenge as he fired up his golden ki and charged at the fellow Saiyan with a haymaker that aimed to hit her. That haymaker, though, wasn’t just one hit that she expected to block, as he would only follow with a flurry of seemingly random but aggressive blows that weren’t exactly as swift as the Turtle School’s but they were meant to hurt the foe.

That was the Soy School.

Cornatto giggled softly as he caught the glimpse of Tomoroko blushing at her mistake, that was something he didn’t actually expect from someone of her caliber, but he guessed that everyone could do an error every now and then. Tomoroko herself had always been one of the strongest Saiyans alive and to see here do a mistake like that was actually kind of funny, he wondered just how confused she was at the moment. It wasn’t little to forget a fighting stance, at least for Cornatto. It was something that Saiyans regularly did, so it was just like forgetting how to ride a bike for an Earthling.

Cornatto still remembered when the man met most of the old Saiyan Alliance members and in a certain way, Tomoroko was one of the most impressive he could not forget. Her battle power and Natto’s were already that much high, so it was difficult not to notice him, although he had to admit that he was disappointed that she had lost her powers. He was still happy that he got to meet at least her again, it was a peaceful sensation that he would have never felt if he hadn’t even met her on his way to the Afterlife. It was a genuine and well-appreciated surprise that brought the Saiyan back over the years, that had probably never passed for the female, while the male lived them a bit! It wasn’t too obvious from his looks, of course, he was a Saiyan, they didn’t age as fast as Earthlings did.

Yet again, the two were faced with the fact that there was indeed something wrong within Tomo but as if she had completely disregarded reality and went off in her own world. The man didn’t know what was up with her but he stared at her silently without saying much the whole time. He thought that maybe she was trying to focus or anything, but she looked like she’d basically just put aside the whole sparring and decided to focus on something else instead.

It wasn’t certainly the most suitable thing for a fighter to get distracted, there were so many openings and it was someone else, they’d have probably landed a blow on Tomo so hard that she would have regretted it. But Cornatto waited for her to come at him, he wanted to give her time to muster up what she had lost— her finesse. It was something that she had lost long ago, Corn saw that when they sparred briefly on King Kai’s planet. She had lost her power, but her moves weren’t also as refined as they used to be back in the days.

Still, the man decided not to say a word and perhaps that was the best choice as the female suddenly snapped out of it and transformed into a Super Saiyan. The Saiyan male watched with awe as his mouth opened ever so slightly before he tightened his teeth together and smirked. “Not bad… I’ll come at you with everything I have got, Tomo!”

The Earthling Saiyan charged with his fist head-on at first, as he had aimed to hit Tomoroko right in the face with it and he did as his tough skin met with the Saiyan female’s and was a clean-hit too. Cornatto didn’t seem to react in either way to that, as he wasn’t having too many expectations but it was when Tomo turned her head towards him, which left Cornatto surprised to see such a sudden mood change and her fist easily struck the Saiyan in his face as the man’s head was forcefully turned to the side from her Super Saiyan fist’s force.

Before, his cheek tightly pressed against knuckles and the man looked at the fellow Saiyan in the eyes for a few moments before he cracked up with a smirk.

“Hehehe.”

Cornatto was glad to see that Tomoroko seemed to finally be on the right planet— she looked pretty much distracted that far and was sincerely scared at first for her, maybe she had trained too much and was having a breakdown. He wouldn’t be surprised. Corn had seen it happen before to a dear old friend of his, who had so desperately tried to achieve the Super Saiyan transformation that he had slowly turned out to lose all of his fighting spirits, and only Corn, in the end, managed to smack some sense into him.

The Turtle Hermit could only hope that the same wasn’t happening to Tomo, at the moment, but now… Did she just look quite lively? Their brawl continued as he had planned onwards, with hits that wouldn’t probably cause Tomo to be knocked out too easily but they still hurt because of how aggressive his stance was at the moment and left it to the Saiyan female to watch and remember the school’s signature moves. One of the first was the Flash Spirit, it was the most basic move of them all, so he was pretty much sure that Tomo could handle it. Not only to resist it, given that Cornatto’s form was stronger than hers, but also to learn it and give it a try herself. It was pretty much how he expected her to run through their training sessions; if she could still remember the school’s skills, they’d probably be over it in no time!

And, if they were lucky enough, perhaps Tomo could have managed to retrieve a huge chunk of her power in the process. That would have surely been beautiful, especially for Cornatto who longed for a spar either with his old friend or Tomo, too.

“Not too bad, Tomo! You are actually doing it! As expected of you, haha! But let’s see if you can handle this...—!”

The man slid in between the flurry and aimed to hit the black-haired girl with his elbow right into the face before he’d turn around his frame and try to kick the girl away. “Try to remember and do it on your own!”

The more and more they fought and what the Earthling Saiyan had earlier assumed seemed not to be true any longer— Tomo was quite in the spirits appear, as she stuck her tongue out and winked at Corn, he was glad that she was finally into the flow of things! Now, Corn could not help but also smile himself in response to her attitude. It made him feel a lot lighter now that she was apparently enjoying it, either that or she loved to stick her tongue out! Cornatto felt a lot lighter in her sudden mood swing, from an unexpected paralyzed self, she had finally snapped out of that wall. Or so he hoped.

It wasn’t something enjoyable. The male could only feebly recall something similar that had happened to him once but it had been so many years ago, he didn’t think he was even that much tall when it happened to him. When he thought that he couldn’t do anything. But it was all senseless stuff! There was no reason for someone as strong as them not being able to make the difference, but although the Saiyan male’s own power was already leaps and bounds beyond what he used to be— it wasn’t enough for him!

Cornatto wanted to become much stronger. He didn’t exactly know why he didn’t have a purpose or he simply didn’t know about it. It wasn’t something that he could just explain but that’s how he felt like; his desire to grow stronger and burn his raw potential into potent battle power. For the moment, he aimed at the power of the Super Saiyan Three— something that Tomo had once achieved and that he aimed to now unlock and then surpass it and reach the Saiyan’s strongest evolution. Super Saiyan Blue. Only the mere thought of that form and Nasu’s power got him excited, he was so powerful that he couldn’t even believe it was possible at first until he had met both Lagerus and later Nasu once more, in Hell. Either way, the man was just equally excited. Tomoroko could probably push herself to the power of the Ascended Super Saiyan in no time and also find back her finesse. The more the two went on, the more she improved. Not to mention the fact that Corn too was finding it difficult to hold back like that— she was still a remarkable fighter, of course! Cornatto’s gratitude was probably not something that needed words, as their species usually released such thoughts and expressed themselves through their fists! They were still having quite a lit training despite their big power difference and while Corn wasn’t fighting some all-powerful monster, he had to say that Tomo too, could get his muscles working.

Of course, though, the martial artist couldn’t just be too easy on her either!

The man’s elbow connected to her face and possibly hurt like a bitch indeed— Cornatto had reached a level of strength that was way beyond her own and what she could take up, but he had to say that in the end that was how one could actually learn the martial arts! It was controversial but the martial arts were also violence and he hated to admit it, but Tomo would have likely felt sore later. But it was fine! He was sure she could handle it, then at best he didn’t mind lending her a hand if she needed.

Once the man’s elbow connected to the other Saiyan’s face, Cornatto turned around and kicked Tomoroko away and it was that powerful that Tomo just found herself with the face in the dirt. The Earthling Saiyan grimaced a little before he chuckled in a goofy manner and rubbed the back of his neck. “Whoops! Haha, are you okay over there?” - the man asked, inquiring about the female Saiyan’s health. He hoped that he didn’t hurt her way too hard.

But after a little while, Tomoroko pushed herself back up, causing the Saiyan to smirk as he prepared himself for the incoming blow. The Saiyan girl charged her energy into some sort of energy ball, a blue sphere of sorts as he simply watched with a blank gaze— he had just asked her to do the Flash Spirit, didn’t he? Soon enough, though, the Saiyaness switched her pattern and quickly aimed the elbow strike which struck Cornatto in the face and caused him to reel his head backward in a sore sensation of pain before he was kicked away as Tomoroko continued her assault on him.

Quickly, the Saiyan flew away but in a short time, the man recovered himself and halted his flight in mid-air before he simply lowered to the ground once more. The man lifted a fist up to his lips and rubbed it against his face a few times as he wiped off some debris that had flown over his face before he cracked a wide smirk.

“Amazing, Tomo! You are getting back into it… hehe! You will be back at full power in no time if you continue like this,” - said the man until he drew his arm back with his palm wide open. “I have to say that I was right! Training with another Saiyan— with you— is absolutely the best! Let’s keep it going!”

The Turtle Hermit poured his power into a sphere of energy above the palm of his hand, its bright, blue light touched his skin with a faint silvery tone.

“Right after the Flash Spirit! The Spirit Cannon! You pull your arm back like this and charge your ki in this sphere. And then you unleash all of its power!” - exclaimed the man as he expected her to do the same.

The man gave her some time to charge her own attack before he tightened his posture and launched his hand forward, unleashing a powerful, red energy cannon aimed towards Tomoroko and planned to clash with her own!
