Master and Disciple- Part Two (Nasu)

Today was the first day of the full moon and Nasu was absolutely irritated. This event just reminded him of the humiliation he suffered at the hands of the earthling defenders, especially that weakling little shit of a sister, Cambia, who managed to chop off his mighty tail even though she was but a fly to him. Nasu sighed in anger with his memories and rushed his pace towards the Soy Training Hall, it was already time for Jie’s training. Power level wise, Komatsu had the upper hand, but Jie Shan could use that power burst and even the odds. Still, with the full moon out, Komatsu could become stronger, but uncontrolled, while he didn’t know how well could Jie Shan control his Great Ape form.

The door opened as the Overseer walked into the training Hall. Jie Shan was already there. He already knew that as he had just sensed him. His power level was suppressed due to his training armor and it was good to see he was fully committed to that training; not even during the battle against Etorin did he take it out, but Nasu found it important to make a comment about that as he walked towards the panel. – You won’t be wise to use that for the thing I have in mind for you in the next couple days. – he said, as his fingers quickly programed the environment to look like Kami’s Timeless Lookout on Earth. As he did that, he sighed in annoyance, but that was training for him too. – This place is the Timeless Lookout, the place where I lost my tail and was defeated by one of our enemies. I want you to get to know this place in case we ever need to fight them again. But mostly because this place is completely boring without the fucking holograms. – he mentioned as he walked towards the titled floor area where Jie Shan was. Then, he folded his arms. Obviously Nasu was in a very bad mood.

– Let’s cut the crap and head straight to the point. Although you are but a newbie, you are earning my trust. It’s rather hasty, but my brother pushed me to a corner. – he paused. – Komatsu is also a Captain now and he wants in to the council. Since other than the Colonels and General you both are the highest ranking officials in this excuse of a faction, I feel it’s only fair to allow you to fight for the position too. – Nasu revealed what he had in mind. – Putting it into clearer terms. We are reopening the arena, and the first battle will be for a position in the council. The only person I’m allowing to compete for that are those who rank captain and above, meaning, Jie Shan, I’m offering you an opportunity to fight my brother for a position in the council. So… What do you say? – he asked the hybrid, staring him right into his eyes.

Jie Shan grinned wide and that was a good sign, Nasu thought, and, as soon as the hybrid captain started speaking, he just confirmed that. He liked the idea and said that such a battle would leave him honored. The battle was going to be really interesting and in regards to that Nasu had no doubts. – Yes! It will be glorious! – he said, nodding in agreement, but keeping his serious expression, almost like he was concerned. Nasu stood there in silence for a while, staring at Jie Shan before he finally spoke again. – Look. – he paused for a second. – I’m also training him under the Soy School. He has every right as my father’s son, so I can’t deny him that. Still, you are more advanced than him, so you may still have some aces under your sleeves using the style. – began Nasu. – Don’t get the wrong idea, I trust my brother and I like that he is back at the Alliance, but we disagree quite a lot, and having him in the council would be annoying. Still… - he paused to sigh. – I don’t like unfair fights, so I will train him just as committedly as I’m training you, so don’t expect an easy fight. Also… - his stare turned into a glare.

– Don’t disappoint me, Jie Shan. I want you to win against him. – he said in a rather serious tone. Nasu put a lot of will into his words and it was clear that he didn’t want Komatsu to be part of the council, but, still, he was a true warrior and had honor, he wouldn’t use any tricks or any strategy to give Jie Shan the advantage. Nasu would play fair and square, and he hoped that the hybrid captain would win with his skill and technique. ”I can’t have him in the council! This will spoil plenty of my plans!” Nasu thought, gritting his teeth. ”As things stand now, I have Miso to agree with me, Karota is always difficult to predict and Kyuri who will most likely disagree. Worst case scenario we get a tie, but I have the casting vote. With Komatsu, Karota will end deciding whenever we reach a stall, and that’s way out of my control.” he thought to himself, believing Jie Shan would favor him if needed due to, at least, gratitude. Of course he could be mistaken and Jie Shan could still prove to be an asshole and a back stabbing son of bitch, but if he happened to be like that, Nasu would find another way to deal with him.

– One more thing. Can you control yourself as a Great Ape? – he asked bluntly.

Jie Shan was proving to have a Strong Will fitting of a true member of the Soy School, and Nasu liked that. He wanted to win no matter what, and now he was at least set at ease that Komatsu wouldn’t have a very easy time in his debut at the arena. ”That shall be enough in a way… Even if Komatsu win, Jie Shan may become recognized as a worthy warrior and that will also be good to me.” he thought to himself. Then, the hybrid said that he could, of course, control himself as a Great Ape, something that was really required from any member of the elite. Then, he said something quite interesting! His Great Ape form was stronger than a normal one, and that made Nasu arch one of his eyebrows, surprised by such a statement. – Really? – he asked, unsure if he believe such a claim or not. Then, Jie Shan explained that it was because of his mixed blood, and that made a hell of sense; hybrids had this crazy ability to power up, and it could also be applied to their Great Ape form in some cases.

Then, he suggested he could probably see it and that made Nasu crack a smirk with the corner of his mouth. ”Hoho… Look at that…” he thought to himself, liking Jie’s attitude.

– Very well… I want you to show me this powerful Great Ape of yours! I will open the hatch. – he said and, without wasting anytime, Nasu leaped towards the control panel, quickly pressing a switch. The hatch began to open and in no time the light of the full moon touched the titled floor. The light was filled with blutz wave radiation, capable of turning any saiyan into a Great Ape. Nasu stared at the moon and sighed in irritation. He was mad he couldn’t transform anymore, and especially mad he had no tail. But, then, he felt something tickling on his back. The saiyan arched both his eyebrows and widened his eyes, turning his head to look at his back; to his immense surprise, his tail had sprouted back! It made a hole on his blue jumpsuit and was swaying from one side to the other, almost like a newborn getting self-aware of its body. – M-my tail! It grew back! – he was so startled that he didn’t even realized he was sounding absolutely astonished with that. He couldn’t even hide his happiness as a large and proud smile appeared on his face.

– Hahahahaha! I’m whole again! Those fuckers may have chopped it off, but it’s back! My pride as a saiyan is fully restored now!! Hahahaha! – he said, laughing loud, almost forgetting Jie Shan was there to train with him.

Nasu was reminded that he was in a training session when Jie Shan spoke to him, congratulating Nasu for recovering his tail. The Overseer blinked twice, realizing he was so focused on recovering his tail that he lost it for a moment. He coughed with his clenched fist in front of his mouth, closed his eyes and spoke. – Go ahead. – he limited himself to say, as Jie Shan allowed the blutz radiation to interact with his tail, triggering the mighty transformation. To be honest, he seemed like just any other Great Ape, but there were some odd sparks of lightning running through his body as he transformed, and Nasu couldn’t help but to narrow his eyes as he noticed that. ”Odd feature… Maybe that’s what he meant…” with his curiosity being teased, Nasu paid close attention to the power he was feeling inside of him. As an elite saiyan warrior, Nasu was well aware that the Great Ape transformation amplified a saiyan’s power tenfold, but Jie Shan was rising above that. Upon noticing it, Nasu arched one of his eyebrows; the Hybrid was telling the truth, he was stronger than the average Great Ape, and that was quite an impressive feat. Truth be told, it was the first time he ever saw a Great Ape that raised above the normal power.

He was now stronger than normal Nasu and that made him smirk with the corner of his mouth, feeling rather excited he could go all out in his base form for a while.

– You were right, Captain! Your Great Ape is indeed stronger! So… I will be going all out in my base form! Hehe! – he informed him and, then, Nasu’s power level rose to its peak, reaching his full base capacity, flaring his ghostly-white ki aura around his body in the blink of an eye.

[Ki Suppression Off. Current PL: 158,525]

Once he powered back up, his flared aura immediately turned light blue as he crouched a lot, almost like he was trying to gather impulse, and that was exactly what he was doing. He chuckled a bit and stared at Jie’s snout and crimson eyes. – The third technique of the Soy School! Rebellion Spear!!! – he exclaimed. Then, like a rocket, he launched himself with all his impulse, heading straight towards Jie Shan. The Blue aura acted as both a shield and as a spear, as it used Nasu’s strength to become a ki technique using the body of the user. It was a technique that could be useful for charging against a single opponent, or even freeing one’s self from loads of enemies trying to tag team on the user. On this particular case, Nasu was using it to attack Jie’s jaw using his body. – Feel it, Captain! The Soy School’s power!!! – he finished by saying that.

Nasu’s Rebellion Spear hit right on the mark, sending the Great Ape’s head backwards with the impact. Still, the damage wasn’t enough to finish the fight, obviously, and Jie Shan was in an almost perfect shape. ”Hope you paid attention to that, Jie!” Nasu thought to himself as he float backwards a bit, to put some distant in between his tiny body and those sharp fangs of the over the top Great Ape. Jie Shan liked the move and said he could feel the power of the Soy School in it and Nasu chuckled in response. – Of course! This is a technique useful both when fighting in single combat, as well as when you are surrounded by enemies. It’s a versatile technique that can save your life one day! You will do well in learning it! – he said, responding to the hybrid’s first sentence.

After that, the Great Ape said he wished to master it soon, but also wanted to have fun, since, well… They were sort of even. Nasu chuckled a bit. – Look who is getting conceited just because his power rose above mine. But don’t you forget, Jie Shan, a battle isn’t determined by power level alone! Skill plays a major role in it! And I’m far more skilled than you and I’m willing to show you that! Watch me and learn, Captain! – Nasu said, with a bit of teasing in it. Then, Jie Shan attacked, trying to swat him like a fly with his huge hands. Nasu moved quickly with his ghostly-white ki aura around his body and did a barrel roll, circling around his hand swiftly and completely avoiding his attack. Then, rose far above Jie Shan, almost hitting the roof of the Training hall.

– Fast, but too clumsy! Won’t be able to hit me like that! – he said, chuckling in a rather cocky way. Then, Nasu dashed down again, clenching both his fists by his torso and, then, put them in front of his body, using them to double-punch the top of the Ape’s head with both fists and using all the impulse of his body. Nasu’s movements were perfect and they didn’t waste a single movement, showing the perfection of a martial arts master, something Jie Shan was only beginning to understand!

Nasu’s jackhammer worked perfectly and gave the young Overseer a joyful sensation of damaging – although slightly – a considerably stronger opponent. As soon as he finished his attack, Nasu rolled back in the air, putting some distance between him and the monstrous Great Ape on steroids that Jie Shan had become. It still impressed him how strong that Great Ape was and, perhaps, he would be able to become some sort of weird super saiyan too, like Athren did? That was both exciting and concerning. ”Will he become stronger than me?! Well… That’s something to be concerned. I will have to keep focusing on my training and can’t allow myself to slack off. Luckily, Karota is about to arrive and start training me into perfecting myself as a martial artist. With the power of the Wolf School tied to the power of the Soy School, there will be but few opponents who can hope to stay toe to toe with me in battle, regardless of raw power or crazy transformations!” he thought to himself, making a brief nod as he reassured to himself the fact that he was doing the best he could in order to become stronger and more skilled.

Jie Shan said that he would be using the Soy Techniques and would have fun by doing that, and warned Nasu to get ready, because he was going to attack right now. The tiny Overseer nodded, and fell back into the traditional Soy School fighting stance, staring the Great Ape right into his crimson eyes. And there it came! The light-blue aura was flared around his body, showing just how easily he had mastered the Rebellion Spear energy coat. That made Nasu grunt a bit. ”He is making it seems so easy… Annoying… And exciting at the same time!” he thought to himself, trying to prepare for his attack. After that, the monstrous Ape launched himself towards Nasu, fully mastering the technique. The young Overseer had to act quickly, because if he was fully hit by that attack, he would be seriously damaged!

Nasu concentrated his inner power and, as Jie Shan closed in, he released a powerful burst of yellow-colored ki energy around his body, in the form of an Explosive Wave. – Super Explosive Wave!! – he roared. His wave hit Jie’s charge, but the Great Ape’s charge was stronger and pierced right through the wave, although losing plenty of its power in the way. Still, that massive body hit Nasu, making him scream in pain. – AARRRGGHH!! – The tiny untransformed body of the Overseeer was sent flying, sailing through the air adrift, until his back hit one of the walls of the Training Hall, making him scream again and spit some blood.

Jie Shan had done it! He had made Nasu spit some blood. The saiyan quickly recovered, putting some distance between himself and the wall. With the back of his white glove, he wiped the blood streaming down his mouth and stared at his opponent with a serious look on his face. – Congratulations. Not only you mastered the attack, but you made me bleed! You are exceeding my expectations! But how about I give you a proper challenge now? – he said, cracking a mischievous grin. By now, Jie Shan knew well enough that, although celebrating every accomplish his student had, Nasu was prideful and hated to be injured or be on the losing side. He had enough humility, as a saiyan ruler, to allow himself to be damaged and hit, so no one could say he didn’t hold that virtue in high esteem, but, he was still a saiyan.

Nasu’s grin widened when Jie Shan asked him what he had in mind. Nasu walked towards the control panel and grabbed himself a set of weighted battle suit. Quickly, he took off his own battle suit and put the weighted one on. Immediately his power level dropped to a fourth of his regular one.

[Using Weights as Flavor. Current PL: 39,631]

– I believe that’s pretty much the same your battle suit weights, right? Well then… Now that we are at a more fair game… Huhuhu… - he paused, chuckling a bit as he, in a slow motion, stared at the full moon from which the light shined through the open hatch. Once he did that, his tail stretched and the fur on it bristled a lot. The Blutz waves radiation was acting on the glandules responsible for liberating the transforming hormones and, once it gathered enough radiation, it started. Nasu’s pitch black irises turned crimson red, and he began to grow at a fast pace. His body got covered in brown fur, his face slowly changed to a snout with sharp fangs and his eyes became completely red. The battle suit stretched with him. Nasu reached fifty feet in height, almost the same as Jie’s own Ape and, although the power increase wasn’t as much as the hybrid’s got, he was still stronger. Nasu’s Ape form had a distinguishing cross-shaped scar on his left cheek, but, other than that, looked like your average ape.

[Great Ape Transformation. Current PL: 396,313]

– SO… LET’S HAVE SOME FUN, CAPTAIN! HAHAHAHAAH! – his voice become much deeper and ferocious, despite the fact that Nasu held full control of his Great Ape form. In fact, the Overseer seemed overjoyed, as he finally recovered his tail. The Great Ape form was no longer useful to Nasu, since he had become a super saiyan, but he wanted to celebrate, especially since the holographic environment was made so it resembled the Lookout, the place where he had been crippled before. ”It’s good to be whole again!” he thought to himself, as he felt that huge power flowing inside of him.
