Planet Yeala: 'Hell's' Training Grounds

This god forsaken rock could barely be called a planet as it didn't have enough resources to sustain most types of life. It couldn't even be sold for a low price, the brute saiyan thought, remembering his time conquering planets for the profit of the Saiyan Empire. Miso didn't really know how he felt about his old life, but one thing he knew for sure: the bonds of comradeship only flourished once he joined his brother's utopia and that was when his life finally had a deeper meaning, being more than just about himself and blood lust. In the end, he believed he was in a better path, even if the Saiyan Galactic Kingdom resembled the Empire in some regards, it was still miles ahead of what Lettis managed to accomplish with her ruthless and reckless ways.

But now they had lost their King, the solid pillar that kept everything together. By no means Miso was enough of a fool to think people really loved Nasu. No, the King was hard to love and he was pretty sure that other than his close family, the soldiers, at most, respected and feared him and he didn't expect much loyalty from them, not even from the likes of Tarro and Tomina, even though they were quickly rising through the ranks of the army. However, one thing was certain: in Nasu's absence, Queen Kinoko would have to step out of his shadow and hold the throne with a tight grip, otherwise they would be probably facing mutiny or even a revolution, leading to another civil war the saiyan race couldn't survive fighting.

In the end, he would rather have Kinoko leading them despite her background and lack of experience, because she was the one Nasu chose to share his life with, just like Karota chose to share her life with Miso and now the hybrid saiyaness meant the world to him and it was breaking his heart that she was so depressed after Cornatto's death. But only time could mend that wound and he knew he had to let her go through all the stages of grief on her own and training would also help taking his mind of it for a little while; two birds with only one stone, a rather pleasant stone.

As he slowly walked towards the designated battlefield - despite the fact that pretty much anywhere in that rotten rock would be enough - he saw the Queen and thus he bowed a bit. "Do I have your permission to kick your ass, my Queen? Heh!" and upon saying that, he cracked his trademark shit eating grin and chuckled lightly as he waited for her answer. He was trying to lighten the mood not only for the concerned Queen, but for his own sake as well.

The brute saiyan chuckled a bit more when she told him to break her and he was already enjoying this distraction. On top of that, as far as he knew, she hadn't completed the Soy School training and this could be a perfect opportunity to get her to know the final two techniques of the fearsome style created by Natto. When Kinoko began to power-up, so did Miso, exploding his sparkling golden aura and creating cracks on the ground underneath him. The saiyan ascended immediately to his mastered Super Saiyan 2 form, but as Kinoko continued to grow in size and muscle mass, so did he, pumping his ki energy towards his muscles, sacrificing his speed in order to attain a greater power increased. His already big muscles became monstrous even more so than Kinoko on her monstrous form and that would be enough to punch fear into the hearts of most warriors.

Without wasting any time, the Queen charged against him in a still flawed soy school stance and Miso didn't even flinch, holding his ground as she closed in and aimed to punch him in the head. Against all odds, Miso just threw a headbutt against Kinoko's fist with such a force that it overpowered her punch completely. This movement of his was also enough to show that even though he was sacrificing his speed, he was still a bit faster than the saiyaness and that would put her into an even more dire situation, just like she wanted. Saiyans thrive when the odds are too great and that was exactly what Kinoko was doing and Miso respected her for that. She wasn't a prized mate, but she was a warrior on her own and that was one of the reasons he would follow her despite the fact that Nasu was no more.

"If that's all you got, then by all means, I will fight without using my hands! Heh!" he teased her with a mocking chuckle following his words.

He could feel her fist shaking with the sheer force of his headbutt and that was satisfying as hell, as he could at least feel like a dangerous elite for a change. Truth be told, Miso had accepted his position on the sidelines, being out powered by the younger generation which had so much potential, far more than him or even Natto himself had, as it was clear by the absurd progress of his kids, surpassing even the man who was deemed a legend of his time. He accepted that, true enough, but he still had pride and deep inside his saiyan hard, he still carved to be an elite, even though he knew this task was completely impossible. Still, during this feeble moment he could feel it again, the intense rush, the feeling of importance and overwhelming power burning inside his body and being manifested as the screeching lightning that ran through his body like crazy.

However, the Queen wasn't there to be his plaything and she was more than determined to put up a hell of fight and without wasting any time, she started concentrating her energy in what it seemed like it would be a ki blast and that just made him scoff, mocking her try. "Wanna try your luck again?! This time I will just bite it of... UGH!" but before he could even finish his sentence, Kinoko attacked him with a powerful tail whip that hit right on his chest armor piece immediately cracking it and sending him flying away, sailing through the air adrift until he could muster enough focus to force his body to stop midair.

The pieces of broken armor fell to the ground far beneath him, leaving Miso completely bare chested with nothing but his gloves, boots and his underwear piece, but he wasn't mad. In fact, he was laughing loud now. "When did you become so strong?! I can't even remember the last time I was hit so hard that my armor would break in an instant! Hehehe! I feel I will have to use my arms against you, Queen! Heh!" he admitted, getting back into his fighting stance while he stared her for another second.

And then he darted towards her with full speed, leaving nothing but a trail of yellow energy behind him as he closed in. "Final... REVENGER!" when Miso got close enough he exclaimed the name of his attack, the strongest combo skill of the Soy School and the one technique Natto had used to defeat some very strong opponents back on his day. Miso would first try to hit her with a haymaker to the face, followed by a reverse side kick aiming to throw her up in the air, no matter if the fist hit or not. Should that hit, he would follow with the rest of the combo, aiming to cause some serious pain to her body and maybe crack some bones. He was putting his all into it.

Even though she managed to muster enough energy to be able to dodge the initial punch, that was but a detail, as the rest of the combo of the Final Revenger was where it really dealt damage, finishing it by double axe handling her back to the ground, generating a huge crater from the impact, enough to make the whole planet shake almost as if it was about to be torn in half. Miso panted a bit after finishing his attack, breathing heavy and labored, still feeling the pain from her attack on his chest; Kinoko probably cracked his rib cage and on top of that he had to use a lot of his power in order to follow up with all the strikes of the technique from the Soy School, but in the end it paid off and now she was just as injured - if not more.

"Goddammit! Even Kinoko is catching up to me! Heh! I guess I'm bound to be surpassed by everyone on this generation! Those bastards! Hehehehe!" he thought to himself with the smirk on his face as he watched the Queen getting back on her feet with plenty of rage burning inside her pure white eyes. Then, she opened her mouth and as poetic as it may sound, she told him to go to hell while puking flames from her mouth and that made him laugh out loud.

"HEHEHEEHEHEHE! I'm sorry, my Queen, but I've been to hell and they don't really have flames in there! On top of that, I don't intend on going back to that place any time soon!!! Spirit Cannon!!!" Miso quickly charged the basic version of his trademark energy attack, the blue energy orb and fired it against Kinoko's flames, quickly overpowering it as it made its way towards the berserking saiyaness.

Kinoko flew away as the Spirit Cannon overpowered her flames and knocked her on the ground creating another crater on that godforsaken rock in the middle of nowhere space. Miso laughed at that, teasing the saiyaness with his normal annoying behavior, resting both his hands on his waist as if he had no care in the world. "I'm sorry my Queen, but I was wonder the impression we were here to fight, but as of now I've been punching a struggling hag doll left and right, so, if you please, you can start fighting anytime now!" and almost as if a response to his words, Kinoko came flying at an amazing speed aiming a haymaker to his face. Miso chuckled once more and stepped back just enough so the punch would almost hit him.

His mistake, though, was to not see the Final Revenger starter on that punch and think it was just another mindless attempt at hitting him, thus leaving him wide open to the follow up.

This time Miso was caught off-guard and this bit him in the ass hard and he couldn't help but to scream in pain as he was constantly assaulted by the absurdly brutal Final Revenger, until it was thrown back to the ground and hit one last time, completely breaking his armor and shattering his ribs in the process, making him puke a heavy load of blood at the Queen's face. But still he managed to get back up, back to his feet. With the back of his glove he wiped clean his blood covered mouth and once again cracked a grin on his face, chuckling a bit. "Now that was something... Hehehehe! I guess you are ready after all... To master the Soy arts!" he said, leaping backwards to put some distance in between them and also to buy some time so both of them could catch their breathe.

"Now, my Queen... Once we are done with this next serving, there will be nothing left of this godforsaken rock, so I hope you can hold your breathe in space for long enough so we can get back to the ship, because we can't lose a King and a Queen in such a fast succession! Heh!" and upon saying that he started charging the Spirit Cannon on his right palm. "If you want to attain true power, then you have to feel it! A power that flows through you but that comes from the power of the bonds you formed with your comrades! That's the Spirit of the Saiyans!" he explained enough: Kinoko had seen this technique into play enough times to figure out what he meant by that.

The blue energy orb quickly changed color to teal and the image of a Great Ape could be seen behind Miso for a split of a second as he got his attack ready to be fired at an enhanced power. Kinoko was doing a great job replicating that and he chuckled, proud of her accomplishment of finally mastering the arts that relied on the bonds of comradeship nourished between squad members, faction members, friends and family. That was the true power behind what Natto and Tomoroko managed to accomplish and as much as people tried to see the Saiyan Galactic Kingdom as a carbon copy of the Empire, Nasu didn't forget those ideals and, at least on his upper rank, he held them all in a treasured spot of his heart even though he wouldn't demonstrate it often. They were his family and he died to protect them.

Her Ape appeared and unlike Miso's hers was Golden and that made him chuckle a bit more and as she fired her attack, so did he, screaming out loud like the madman he was. The blasts crashed against each other, even in power and then they exploded, destroying any trace that was left from that planet so nobody else could ever set foot there. The shock of the explosion was enough to send them flying away, but through the sheer power of their ki auras, they managed to survive enough so that the ship could get them. Miso was injured, nothing that would immediately risk his life, but he took a hell of a beaten and was completely sore since, unlike the legendary super saiyan, he felt every ounce of pain that his body was subjected to.

As he entered the ship, he couldn't help but to think about his nephew and chuckle once again. "You chose a good Queen, maggot! Heh!" and with those thoughts in his mind, he proceed to the medical bay so he could heal from his injuries and get rid of the annoying yet satisfying pain.
