[renegadeprince]

When: Jelly 3, very late night/early morning.
What: Late night training and comparison of skills.
Warnings: Fighting/physical violence.


[It had taken a few days before Vegeta had a chance to get the training gym to himself, having become frustrated at first that the damn room never seemed to be empty for him to get it to himself, then starting to keep track of just when people came and went from it. Eventually he got enough of a pattern to take a chance to get it alone, even if it meant doing it in the stupidly early hours of the morning. He would rather be sleeping, but that drive to get some training in easily overrode that. Vegeta should had also warned the other ki sensers on the train that he had planned to do this, rather than having a chance of waking them by a sudden ki rise from him, but he hadn’t. Hadn’t even considered it, just wanted to make the most of whatever time span he could get alone in the room.

At least he wasn’t going all out, not without knowing for sure the train would be able to take the impact from him being fully charged up. But he’s allowing himself to transform to Super Saiyan, just taking a moment to stand and enjoy the feeling of having it once again. It was so tempted to go further, to push himself the full way to Blue… but he could wait. When they got to a location he would have room to do so without worry of catching others in his path.

Despite going into Super Saiyan Vegeta’s training may seem quite simple to most observers, not using any of the equipment or even being that violent in his attacks into the air. Instead he’s continues on with his training he started from the last year; accuracy. Perfecting his form, overcoming any flaws, tweaking and altering his movement to eliminate errors and defects that for most fights wouldn’t make a different in the outcome. But for serious fights, for ones that pushed his limits, it may make the difference between success or defeat.]

I've been using them a lot against him. A lot of times I'm moving to get him to the ground to negate his strength advantage. Or more accurately, force him to dial it up a little.

[Yes, they can discuss the fighting parts instead of the other thing. She's usually far from shy to talk about it, but she's still not entirely certain how she feels about Vegeta.]

Don't think it's done him as much good as it's done me. I have to push beyond my limits 'til I fall over just to make him break a decent sweat, which means I'm getting better each time. But it could come in handy if he ever needs it.

[light_of_willpower]

We tend not to fly much during sparring; not a lot of room in here.

[Trunks added and clarified.]

She's found other ways to use her ki effectively too.

[There is definite pride in his voice.]

[renegadeprince]

[Of course he's going to latch onto the fighting side of stuff compared to the other subject, partly because Vegeta is much more comfortable talking with something he knows so well, and also because it really isn't his place to comment on whoever his son is interested in. It really doesn't change anything for him, short of if Trunks was with someone Vegeta couldn't stand, but that was a short list and a very unlikely one for Trunks to be interested in.

Instead he focuses on the other part that catches his attention.] And you're training her. [Before wanting to confirm something with Cassie.] You're human?

[nutkrusher]

[Cassie nods.] Yeah. Descended from some kind of ancient war cult that specifically bred human warriors to fight Elder Gods. That's what Raiden told us, anyway.

But my universe doesn't know nearly as much about qi as yours does. Trunks and Piccolo have been getting me up to speed.

[light_of_willpower]

She was training with Piccolo initially. He's the one who taught her to fly.

[Trunks reached up and rubbed the back of his neck. Tired, and also a bit of nerves.]

If she dropped down out of the sky on you, then that's what she did to me on platform day too. Then later that evening we sparred.

[renegadeprince]

[...he can get behind the whole ancestry of warriors, and just because she's human doesn't mean she's not capable to some degree. He's however curious to know how she would go up against other human fighters from their world, not that they will get a chance to unless one of them showed up. That whole 'fight Elder Gods' is also interesting...

At the mention of Piccolo, Vegeta muttered to himself,] He has seem to be collecting more children to adopt. [Thinking to Piccolo's little intimidation act to him about he being in the same cabin as Madoka. He must be missing having Pan around.

Then focused on them once again, mostly the state Trunks was in.] Go and rest, we can arrange a training time later.

[nutkrusher]

It's a pretty good deal for the ones he's adopting. You can do a lot worse for mentor figures than him.

[She turns her attention toward Trunks's current condition. She certainly wouldn't say no to helping him to the showers.]

[light_of_willpower]

[Trunks is pretty much standing from willpower only. He can walk, but he's glad Cassie's there. Both for the help, but also because her presence is comforting. He feels off-balance, and will gladly accept her help watching his back for now.]

Yessir. Good night Father.

[There's another short half-bow, before Trunks is making his way over to Cassie slowly.]

[renegadeprince]

[Like a certain other figure he tends to take over for.]

Night. [There's a chance Vegeta will still be training for a bit longer after this, but also more aware now that he should keep his ki down so to be less likely to wake or keep others awake from it.]
