Family training Session part 2 [Nasu]

Nasu growled when Komatsu put emphasis on the “me” with that curious face of his. Then, when he sort of apologized for dying and triggering Nasu’s transformation, the older saiyan growled again, getting a quite annoyed and irritated expression on his face, gritting his teeth and frowning his brows much further, showing he was already at a quite common anger point Nasu was so quick to reach.

Komatsu continued to say he wanted to get stronger so Nasu could be proud of him, and that got him another growl, just an angrier one, and finally, when he said that if the super saiyan trigger was rage, then he couldn’t do it. That was enough, Nasu couldn’t hold it anymore and, as he finished speaking, a vein popped in his left temple and he roared as he dashed towards Komatsu, attempting to grab him by the neck tightly and lift him off the titled floor. The young Overseer was deeply enraged, mad even.

– Oh yeah?! Fuck you! You want me to be proud of you, then get a true saiyan attitude instead of this bullshit whining! Fuck you Komatsu! You aren’t even fifteen years old and your power level is over one hundred fucking thousand!! – Nasu’s lips where trembling a bit as he yelled at his brother, showing just how nervous and angry he was. – When I was your age I couldn’t control myself as a Great Ape, my power level was what? Thirteen thousand? I had no fighting technique… I was thug! A stupid unworthy lazy thug who hated to train because I thought I was already blesses by genetics! It was Kimiko who fucking made me want to become really strong and I did that because she showed me just how weak and useless I was! – a tear escaped his right eye, but he fought and won against the others. – I hate that it was what took me to act seriously and push myself to the limit! Do you see this scar here, brat?! I did it on myself when dad died! Because I wanted to be him! I wanted his power and I wanted to be his living legacy and the terror of our enemies! What did I accomplish? Getting my ass kicked against every major enemy I’ve faced?! Even that stupid girl human girl beat me once… Kimiko beat me thrice and even Jarvis beat me! And the only time I had the upper hand briefly, she managed to surpass me and become a super saiyan! And I could only put up a fight because she was untrained! – he roared, releasing Komatsu from his grip in case he managed to get him in it in the first place. Nasu would then gaze away, still afflicted by this unnatural amount of anger. – Now she must be there, mocking me! Together with her little shitty friends and that bitch of a sister who chopped off my tail! And you fucking ask me if I’m proud of you! Piece of shit! You hurt my pride! Every fucking time! – and this time he couldn’t help but let another tear escape his eyes.

– Even mom and dad think you are better than me… Fuck them too! It’s their fault I hate those alien scum! If they weren’t so trusting… They would still be here… I miss them… - Nasu sniffed, wiping his tears with the back of his glove. – Stupid brat. I hate you. But you are my only real brother… I hate you because they are more proud of you than they are of me. Still… I can’t be like them. I’m rotten… I’m evil. Even though Kimiko is our sister I still dream of torturing her and killing her. I won’t do it, but damn I would love to do it! Fuck this life! – he roared again, gritting his teeth.

Komatsu called him an asshole and that just irritated him a tad bit more, making him growl. ”How dare him…” after that the younger sibling began to explain the reason why he grew so strong at such an young age and, to Nasu’s surprised, he said that it was because of his older brother, making him arch his brows a bit and grit his teeth in surprise. – What, me?! – he asked, quite startled by the statement, but then Komatsu continued saying Nasu was too hard on himself, and that was completely true, he really did want to be a perfect saiyan, the ultimate warrior. Actually, in truth, Nasu wanted to be like Natto, but he was terrified of his father’s mistakes that led to his death and that event had deeply traumatized the new Overseer of the Alliance, making him abhor such a soft side and driving him towards darkness a tad bit more. Komatsu even said that he wasn’t a thug, nor rotten, nor evil, and that was what made him his brother and that was slowly putting Nasu’s guard down and making him feel bad and sad, although still angry.

In his own line of thought, Komatsu believed that Kimiko wasn’t mocking him, and that got a grunt out of Nasu, who didn’t believe that at all. Finally he claimed their parents weren’t comparing their kids and Nasu didn’t quite believe that, finally, he said that Nasu could hate him as much as he wanted and that he could never hate him and that was another blow to his face, making him feel like his heart was sinking into a deep sadness and disappointment with himself. Komatsu assumed to have idolized him ever since he was born and that he never gave a fuck about him, which was partially true, but not entirely. Finally he said that he would fight, but he didn’t give a damn about the council anymore, and that Nasu wouldn’t have to bother with him anymore, and that was the last drop of water in a full glass.

– You are such a baby! You understand nothing! You keep making me humiliate myself so that I can explain things to you… Shitty maggot! – he grunted. – Do you really think the death of someone I hate would make me turn into a super saiyan?! Fuck no! It hurt me, Komatsu! It hurt me deeply! The only thing that hurt me like that before was when mom and dad were killed!! – he roared, and Komatsu knew just how much Nasu cared about his parentes, especially his father, who he idolized. – When you died I thought that was the end! That I would be all alone in this shitty stupid motherfucking universe! I can’t lose you. You are the only person I have left that I truly lo… Care! – he almost said that “word”, but he was far too prideful and, even though he was almost breaking down in a hurricane of emotions, he was still as proud as his uncle. – You win the fight, you are in the council! I won’t be sabotaging that nor taking away your merits! The only reason I didn’t want you there to begin with is because you threaten me! You always make me look so wrong… So… Bad! Like I’m always screwing up our parents legacy… It annoys me… Because I’m like that. I… I can’t be kind like them… I can’t be forgiving like them… nor merciful… I like to make people suffer, can’t you see that?! – he stomped his foot on the floor so hard it cracked a bit. – I’m evil. I try not to be… But… Fuck… I am. It shames mom and dad, but… I’m a killer and I miss spilling blood! That’s why I’m envious of you… Because your character is better than mine… Even that bitch’s character… Screw it! – he roared again, wiping the tears pouring down his face once more. – Don’t know why the fuck did you ever idolized me… As much as I train, as much as I try, I couldn’t even surpass a clueless sister who had no formal saiyan education or training… - he said, in a rather lower tone.

Nasu sighed deeply and fell to the floor, sitting down, almost like he was feeling way too tired to be standing on his foot. True thing was he was feeling rather depressed. That was one of the few occasions he opened up about his feelings in his entire life, and this experience was completely annoying to him. He hated every single bit of it, but he couldn’t help it. There was just so much you can hold inside yourself until you have to let it out.

He sighed deeply once again, finally managing to stop crying. ”Humiliating… A Saiyan Warrior like me, to be crying like a baby… Dammit!” he muttered to himself, feeling completely ashamed. Then, Komatsu continued explaining a bit of what he felt, the hollowness of his heart could only be filled after the purpose he gained and he could. Then he told him why he admired his brother: because he fought with all his heart to gain his current strength, and he kept on fighting. Also, to Nasu’s surprise, he also pointed out traces of cruelty he had that Nasu never knew about, making the older saiyan arch his brows in surprise. ”That’s new to me…” he thought, staring at his brother in awe; not because he thought someone liking torture was nice and cool. No. The awe was because they were more alike than he had ever expected and that was generating some empathy he never felt before for his little brother, and empathy he only felt for his uncle Miso.

Then, he spoke about Kimiko, saying he was one million times better than her and Nasu chuckled ironically, as he doubt that. She was stronger and, although her skill wasn’t quite as refined as his back at when they fought, she was smart; Kimiko wouldn’t stay idle while he was away, she was adamant about protecting Earth and would train like crazy to become a better defender, especially because of the attack on the Lookout. – Don’t push it. She is stronger than me. Not by much. But I think she is training hard… While I can’t train as hard with my new obligations. Taking care of the Alliance is tough and I’m training less than I would like too and far less than I did on Earth. Karota is helping me with her style, but, still… I don’t think Kimiko is slacking off at all. – Nasu sighed, getting back to his feet with a thoughtful expression on his face.

– I wonder just how powerful she is right now. It bothers me every day. My pride demands that I defeat her… I won’t ever settle down until I can do it! – and there was a fiery determination in his eyes, something that could push him forward, but, with a closer look, one could notice that there was darkness in it. Nasu was totally committed to that go, and this could possibly push him to reach for darker measures, should he fall too much behind her. It was in his nature; he was power hungry and proud, two traits that could easily lure a person to the depths of the dark side of moral. Despite his claims, Nasu wasn’t evil, not entirely at least. He was more of a self-centered proud person with little empathy regarding others than evil, but he had a toe in there, and a toe could easily become a foot, and then a whole body, shouldn’t he be careful with his choices.

Nasu hmphed when Komatsu said that thing about the back bone, and he was absolutely right, Nasu thought Komatsu was just as soft as their parents, and that was a true relief. Then he stated the obvious: he just needed to train harder in order to beat Atsuko, and he really meant harder. To defeat her was something that would require every ounce of determination Nasu had in his body and even that may not be enough. Nasu nodded to what Komatsu had just said about defeating her, as well as delegating tasks to him as a counselor, should he win his seat position. He even said that he would also continue his trainings in order to not slow Nasu down, and then he made an interesting proposition: why not aim to become a super saiyan two? That would most definitely give him the upper hand, and he could reach it before Atsuko and ultimately defeat her. That thought made him touch his chin with his index and thumb.

– That’s… That’s quite a good plan actually. I doubt she knows much about it, if she knows about it at all… - he spoke, still analyzing his chances. – I know I can’t just train super saiyan two, it requires too much emotion… Much more than super saiyan, but… Still… If I can strengthen my body and my ki energy enough I may just be able to achieve such a furious state when fighting her… - and that made perfect sense: if there was someone capable of getting Nasu to the peak of his rage, it was his sister, Atsuko, the Kami of Earth and the person responsible for his greatest defeat streak. Then, he looked back at Komatsu with a serious expression on his face.

– About your fight, it will be as fair as possible. Whoever wins, I trust it will be for the best. You two are now on a similar skill level, as well as power. Then it will be decided by your ability as a warrior alone. Can’t be fairer than that. – he pointed out, shrugging a bit. – And maybe this will get the both of you angry enough so you could all become super saiyans. The Alliance would be greatly benefited by that. With you and Jie Shan we would have a total of five super saiyans, and we would far surpass the Empire, who only have about two as far as I know. – he said, analyzing the situation. – On top of that I’m having Miso train some guards so we can create a new minor elite capable of defending the Planet from most minor threats. This way I can really go back focusing on training myself. And with that I will be able to recover my honor and my pride! – He said with quite a lot of passion in his tone. He truly wanted to defeat Atsuko, it was almost like an obsession, but, luckily, his sense of duty towards the Saiyan Alliance was stronger.

Nasu folded his arms and stared at Komatsu right into his eyes as he admitted to be nervous about his fight, as it would actually be his first fair duel in life. – Once you start, the adrenaline in your body will make you forget about the nervousness. But don’t get used to it. In life we have just a handful of fair fights. Most people are cowards who can’t even dream of fighting alone. – Nasu said, sighing in annoyance as he once again remembered about his fight in the Timeless Lookout, where all of Atsuko’s allies gathered to try and defeat him. ”If they hadn’t stopped me I would have killed her before knowing she was my sister… I couldn’t be blamed for that by mom and dad… Now I’ve lost this chance for the rest of my life. Those fucking cowards!” he thought to himself, before listening to Komatsu speak again.

– It is important for the Alliance. The more super saiyans we have, the stronger we are. And we need that strength. – Nasu told his younger brother. After that, Komatsu said that he would be taking a couple more hours of training so that he could perfect his moves, and mentioned just how useful the Rebellion Spear would be. Nasu nodded in agreement, but found it wise to warn Komatsu. – Just don’t forget that Jie Shan also knows the Rebellion Spear. The Soy techniques won’t be a surprise to him, but you may still catch him off-guard if you are wise enough. It will be a tough fight, but, to be honest, if you two manage to become super saiyan I can’t even tell who is going to win, but, Komatsu. If you don’t, you will be most certainly defeated. – Nasu narrowed his eyes a bit as he briefly paused. – He is a hybrid and can unleash a very special inner power, almost like a fake super saiyan transformation, about half as strong. You need to transform if you want to have any hope of winning. – Nasu sighed.

– That’s pretty much the reason why me and uncle Miso were betting on him so much. – Nasu admitted. Fighting against Jie Shan without the aid of the legendary golden transformation would be impossible. The hybrid’s power was just too fierce, creating an abyss between him and Komatsu.

– He is not my pet. Just a loyal soldier who deserves to be rewarded for his service. He was the first to pledge loyalty to be even before I had managed to defeat Etorin. He took a leap of faith and, if I had failed in killing the fat bastard, he would be executed. – Nasu cut Komatsu’s sentence when he said Jie Shan was his pet, finally explaining why he liked the hybrid captain so much. It was really frustrating that most saiyans were too afraid to step up for him due to their fear of Etorin, making them accessary to the previous Overseer wrong ways and non-legit rule.

Then Komatsu said that no matter how hard he could hit him, that wasn’t a problem because he could real. Nasu snorted when he said that. – Your healing technique is flawed. It consumes a lot of your stamina. That was obvious when you fought against Miso. It’s a good technique to use in a large battle or a war, where you are fighting with comrades. But in a duel… This is going to be just a waste of your precious stamina and time. I suggest you forget about such a technique in that scenario. – Nasu warned him and he had a fairly good point, otherwise it would be a battle of one side damaging the other and the other healing back over and over again. On top of all that, Komatsu would embarrass himself and, to end it all, Nasu knew that, without Super Saiyan, Jie Shan could most definitely deal more damage per second than Komatsu could heal, so, in the end, his brother would be just ultimately delaying his defeat in the most shameful of ways.

And then Komatsu insulted Nasu, but he didn’t care and just shrugged at it. – It’s not my place to tell you shit. You should be the one making researches on your opponent. I’m doing you a favor in telling about his strong traits, be grateful, you annoying shit! – he roared, back to his normal slightly irritated mood. Komatsu leaped backwards where he started charging his power, trying to finally learn hi transformation. It wouldn’t work, most likely, but he could try anyway. Nasu, on the other hand, would like to try something new, just to finish the training Karota told him to finish before their next confrontation. Then, the young Overseer channeled all of his ki into his body to help enhancing his speed and reflexes and, in the blink of an eye, he completely vanished from sight, using his brand new Wild Sense, capable of allowing him to dodge impressive attacks. Nasu reappeared by the door and quickly left the place, letting Komatsu spent his next hours in his training.

The battle for the seat in the council was bound to happen on the following afternoon, and most of the citizens of the Soy Capital and nearby villages were most definitely going to watch it. A battle between captains was quite an spectacle.
