Family training Session part 2 [Nasu]

Nasu was already in the Soy Training Hall. In fact he had been training another thing, and that was the reason he got there much earlier. Being now a student of the Wolf School, he had to commit to his own training if he wanted to master the style, and that was taking all of his time and energy. The young Overseer was already quite sweaty when Komatsu entered the Hall and just finishing mastering one new move from the style. – I finally got it!! Wolf Fang Fist!! – he roared, as he attacked the air with his new rush attack, consisting of a combo of clawing and punches, finishing with a double and extremely powerful palm strike. After he finished that he was panting a bit and finally noticed Komatsu’s words. He stared at his brother with the corner of his eyes, still heavily breathing and arched one of his eyebrows.

– You look like shit. – Nasu mentioned, but he wasn’t supposed to be saying that. With a better look, Komatsu would notice that he was also ragged, with his battle suit scratched on the chest piece and with one of the shoulder guards destroyed. The tight guards were also gone, but there was another distinguishing feature on Nasu: his tail was back and swaying freely. Both siblings were far from perfect shape, but that would be fair to even the odds. Still, it was pretty obviously Nasu was training a new style, and, if Komatsu searched in his memories, he would remember that move from his father too. Natto was also versed in the Wolf School, although not a master himself.

Nasu was really doing his best to follow in his father’s footprints, despite them having quite conflicting and opposite personalities. Nobody could say Nasu didn’t worship and respect his father. His self-inflicted cross-shaped scar was a proof of with, which, by the way, Komatsu never got to hear how he got that scar in the first place.

Nasu blinked twice when Komatsu said something about the Great Ape. With his younger brother’s next comment, he finally understood what he meant, giving a brief stare at his own tail before looking back at Komatsu. – So you finally managed to control your Ape form. About time. – he said, cracking a smirk with the corner of his mouth.

– And indeed it was! – he said, swaying his tail from one side to the other. – I’m whole again! Wonder the surprise on that stupid pregnant bitch’s face when she sees me with my tail again! We will definitely be paying a visit to our sisters soon. Once you finish your little manhood test in the arena against Jie Shan. – he said, folding his arms and chuckling a bit. – Which reminds me. You will be battling tomorrow and you should rest. I’m a little tired myself. Karota is teaching me the Wolf School, and I will be mastering it soon! A feat not even dad, with all his power, accomplished! How does that sound, Koma?! Hahaha… I’m little by little surpassing dad! I will be able to remind all of our enemies of the might of Natto! Only with a little less foolishness in the mix! Hahaha! – he laughed with pride. Nasu worshiped his father, and his death was a heavy blow to him. He blamed his father for being too kind and forgiving, and that was the only part of Natto he despised and kept on pressing on the same matter over and over again, almost like he wanted to convince himself he wasn’t a fool like him. But it was obviously he wasn’t kind and gentle like Natto was. In fact, Nasu resembled more Miso than his own father that being the reason the two of them got along so well. Still, Nasu lacked Miso’s sense of humor.

Nasu sighed deeply because he knew Komatsu would complain upon hearing his answer. His expression became serious and he sighed.

– I want to go there, yes, as soon as I manage to get the Alliance in a better situation with a full council. – he said, pausing for a bit. – As for the reason, you probably won’t like it. But I want to defeat Kimiko. – he answered, being quite honest about his goal. – I don’t want to kill her or cripple her, but I do want to defeat her and show her that she won’t even compare to the true children of Natto and Tomoroko! She may be our sister, but she won’t ever be held in the same regard! And my warrior’s honor demands I defeat her! I’m a true saiyan warrior! She is a buffon in a stupid armor with a sword! I can’t be bested by her! – he said, as his expression became quite angrier, with him gritting his teeth and frowning his eyebrows.

Nasu had plenty of anger inside of him, and was quite obvious he was still really and deeply sore because of his defeat on the lookout, and also because of his previous defeats at the hands of the Kami when they met. Once he had said that, he folded his arms and started hammering his fingers on his arm, staring his brother right into his eyes. – Won’t you say any bullshit to try and talk me out of that?! Won’t you annoy me with any stupid lecture and stuff?! – he asked, throwing some of his anger at his younger brother.

He was so mad a vein popped out on his left temple and he groaned a bit. Nasu truly hated Atsuko and now he couldn’t kill her. It was something that was still hard for him to swallow.

Now that was quite surprising. Komatsu said he wouldn’t try and convince Nasu to drop his plan to go to Earth and fight Atsuko. He even went as far and said he understood that since he wasn’t dragging the Alliance into his personal fight nor endangering Earth. Nasu truly needed to prove himself, his honor as a saiyan warrior demanded that. ”That’s surprising… I expected him to bitch about it. Maybe I’m having the wrong image of Komatsu. He is a saiyan after all. A saiyan to the core. He would most definitely understand my need to restrore my pride.” he wondered , making a brief nod. With that being cleared, he answered. – Good to know. – he limited himself to say.

After that Komatsu asked if he was getting trained or not and Nasu snorted. – Of course. I don’t want you whining that you lost because I didn’t train you. I need to teach you a very important technique today. It’s called Rebellion Spear. It’s quite tricky, but I believe you won’t have a very hard time mastering it, to be honest. – he said, shrugging a bit. Then, Nasu clenched both his fists and started charging his power, flaring his ghostly-white ki aura around his body. Seconds after that, his aura began to change and became light-blue and really fiery-like, almost like it was some sort of power-enhanced aura, capable of being used to attack.

– This technique is useful for both one on one combat and when you are surrounded by enemies! Your very aura becomes your weapon and a quite powerful and fearsome one! Get in guard, brat, because I will show you the power of the Rebellion Spear!! – and as soon as he finished speaking, Nasu lauched himself against Komatsu like a rocket, trying to slam him with his powerful light-blue aura. It was obviously a dangerous attack and Komatsu should better react to it, otherwise he would start his training by getting injured.

Komatsu was quick to move and jumped high into the air, avoiding most of the damage the Rebellion Spear was capable of causing. That was quite an impressive feat and, once Nasu managed to stop after his charge attack, he turned around to stare at his brother, seen him almost unscathed. ”He did it. Damn! I thought I would definitely hit him hard, but I can’t say I’m not proud!” he thought to himself, with a serious expression on his face. Komatsu was still impressed with that attack and it was justified: the Rebellion Spear was quite different from your average technique and that made Nasu nod and fold his arms.

– Yes, it’s a quite tricky technique indeed. Dad was a resourceful fighter. Well… How can I put it into words… - he paused, touching his chin with his index finger and thumb, in a thoughtful expression. – You have to mold your ki energy like you are charging an energy attack… Better… Like a contained explosive wave, but hold it around your body, so that you can sort of contain the energy release and use it a shield sort of weapon. Then you use your impulse and attack your enemy with all your might. Am I clear? – he asked, feeling rather unsure if his explanation was enough to make Komatsu understand how that technique worked.

Komatsu was doing pretty well with his ki control, but then he lost control of it and his ki exploded, making his older brother and martial arts master to sigh, a little disappointed. ”Thought he would nail it…” he thought to himself. – You lack focus. You need to mold your ki energy. Come on, it shouldn’t be that hard! Just think about what you do to fly, how you manipulate the energy to keep it contained. Then, add a little bit of raw power, just like when you flare your ki aura, but a more offensive ki. That’s all I can say to help you. I know it’s trick, but it’s all about focus and concentration in the end. That’s mental discipline, one of the core virtues of our school. Come on, try again! – he said, trying to explain as patiently and clear as he could. It was quite impressive for Nasu to be even behaving like that. – With that you may develop a Strong Will, capable of letting you overcome any obstacle. Now, back to work! We have just a little time ahead of us until your fight, and you need to at least master this level of the Soy School. – he stated.

Nasu just watched carefully as Komatsu tried to concentrate enough to master the tricky technique of the Soy School. After a couple more seconds trying, seemed like the young saiyan was finally doing it. When he smirked, Nasu nodded briefly. – Yes, that’s it! – he said, still with a serious expression on his face. But then something caught Nasu’s attention. ”Uhn?!” he narrowed his eyes as he saw traces of gold in Komatsu’s aura. The aura also became quite fiery like and that could only mean one thing: he was beginning to tap into super saiyan potential. That really surprised Nasu, as he didn’t expect him to be able to call for that power so easily.

Komatsu didn’t transform, but that pre-transformation tension was enough to leave Nasu with his guard wide open and, when the younger saiyan attacked, he couldn’t react in time, and was hit right at his chest. – ARRGH!! – he screeched as he was sent flying, sailing through the air adrift. His chest was hurting like a bitch with that attack, and he had to use all his focus to stop midair before hitting the wall surrounding the Soy Training Hall. Nasu panted a bit, staring back at Komatsu; the boy had successfully used the Rebellion Spear and, on top of that, almost transformed into a super saiyan. Nasu had a quite startled look on his face. ”I can’t even believe it… But that aura… That’s definitely.” he thought to himself. Then, Nasu floated back to the titled floor in front of Komatsu, with, assuming a more serious feature.

– Well, you mastered the Rebellion Spear. Congratulations. But… - he paused, staring at his brother like he was analyzing him. – That power surge. You are tapping into the super saiyan form. Still, you won’t get there with power alone. You need a trigger. Do you know what trigger is that, Komatsu? – he asked. Although Komatsu had seen super saiyans in his life, Nasu didn’t know if he had seen one transform for the first time, so his question was actually pretty relevant.
