Training with Kris (I)

[Geurin]

Kami stood with Kris on the lookout, peering down on the earth below them, as high up in the clouds as they were it was difficult to actually see the ground with the naked eye, although with the right tools, you could easily see half-way around the planet.

Kami Tapped his pole on the ground twice and then turned to Kris, his first challenge was ready.

"Kris, the first thing i need you to accomplish is this, I need exactly 1000 rocks that weigh a total of 10,000lb from the ground, to the lookout we stand on here. You may use any means to get these rocks, and they may vary in size, so long as you only have 1000 of them at the end of this trek, and so long as they weigh exactly 10,000lb. Do you understand?"

Kami, not actually waiting for an answer, walked back up to the top of the lookout, jumping from one building, to a nearby tower, and sitting on the top of the marble lookout in what appeared to be meditations, While Kris would do as Kami said, Kami would train his mind, delving deeply into it. Kami needed his training to of course.

OOC: Keep in mind that the longer your post is, the more succesful you can be, when they grade this later you can get some major gains by putting in great detail.

Kris had just been accepted to train with Kami, the guardian of the earth. He tried to hide his excitement, but his eyes lit up and he found himself grinning in joy. This was his big chance - his opportunity to finally contribute to the safety of this planet. He saw Kami slowly walking towards the edge of the lookout. Kris gladly followed him, looking at his new master with great enthusiasm. Kami stopped at the edge and looked down. Kris joined him, looking down at the view below him. Even though Kris could fly, and there was little danger about the height of the lookout, he couldn't help but feel uneasy about the sheer drop into the clouds below.

He listened to Kami's training request. This request may have seemed strange to some, but Kris was used to the old-fashioned style of training. His master, Sohen, also used similar methods to train Kris... Sohen! That's right! Kris' master didn't even know of his whereabouts!

Kris floated towards Kami, who was now meditating atop a tower-like structure. Kris felt bad about interrupting Kami's deep concentration, but he had a request. "Master Kami! I just remembered something! Please, may I go to see my master? I wish to tell him about my new training. I'll even begin my training by bringing a rock back with me." Kris wondered: "Also, will I be staying here with you?"

[Geurin]

Kami was now in deep meditation, his facial expressions remained motionless, his body stiff, his mind clear.

He would be unable to respond to the young mans questions, however since the training called for him to gather by any means necessary. it seemed as though it would be acceptable for him to see his master one last time.

In addition the giant hall that he had seen did have many side rooms, it was likely that Kris would also be staying in one of those. However none of these were things that Kami would respond with.

[matrixwarsz]

Kris looked at Kami for a moment. He didn't respond. Kris didn't think it would be a problem to see Sohen one last time, because by the looks of the large halls and rooms within the lookout's building, Kris would be staying at the lookout for quite a while. Kris gave a shallow bow to his new teacher, then emitted a faint white aura as he flew up wards slightly, arching back toward the front of the platform and flying straight down.

Kris flew downward at quite a fast pace, excited to start his training. He kept close to the tall, slender tower as he flew downward, keeping his eye out for an area that would be good to retrieve rocks. As he passed through the clouds, his vision cleared and he noticed a small mountain range just a small distance from the tower. "Perfect!", thought Kris, as he neared the ground. He slowed down to regain his sense of direction. After looking around for a moment, he found the direction he came from earlier. His white aura flared as he blasted off at full speed back to his training grounds.

As Kris flew, he kept his senses about him, trying to detect the battle in Central City. He wasn't sure what he sensed, and couldn't determine whether the battle was over or not. He decided to keep his distance from the ruined city as to not alert Meishi of his presence. He changed his flight course to maneuver around the city, staying a few miles away as he flew.

After another 10 minutes of flight, Kris approached his training grounds. It consisted of a small clearing in the forest, with a steep mountain on one side. Several broken rocks and trees surrounded the clearing - results of Kris' prior training. In the center of the clearing was a simple log cabin. This is where Kris lived with his master, Sohen. He slowly descended and landed on the grass below, about 50 feet behind the cabin. He slowly walked toward the quaint cabin as a cool breeze rustled through his long, messy, pitch black hair. He naturally didn't care much for physical appearance, as his life only consisted of martial arts. As he walked around the side of the cabin, he pondered the recent events surrounding him. He took a deep breath... He then thought about his new teacher. Such a wise man... More so than Sohen, even. And Ba'alzamon. A mysterious one... But one with his heart in the right place, it seemed. He couldn't wait to begin training with his new friends... Friends... Kris stood still and sighed. He had never realized how strong fighters were in the outside world. Furthermore, he never made any attempt to meet people, or even cared for that matter. It has always been him and his master, training day in and day out. Friends... Kris smiled and kept walking. He turned the corner to the front of the cabin to see his master, sitting on his rocking chair, the same place he would sit as he watched Kris train. Sohen looked up at Kris and smiled as he said "Ah, you're back! So, can you finally tell me why you left all of a sudden?" Sohen and Kris laughed as Kris walked up to his master and sat down in the cool grass. Kris spent a few minutes explaining what happened in Central City, and how he met the guardian of earth. Sohen's eyes widened as he listened intently to Kris' story. "So you see, master, I will be leaving to train with Kami shortly. I will no doubt be gone for quite a while..." Sohen sighed and looked up into the sky. He smiled and said "Look at my pupil now, growing up so fast..." ,Sohen looked back at Kris, "I remember when you were only a small child. Lost, confused... Now you're preparing to defend the planet, haha... You've made me proud, my boy. I'll sure miss my star student..." A heart-felt smile spread across Kris' face. Kris stood up promptly, then ran to Sohen, giving him a warm hug. "Thank you, master. I'll return someday." "Anytime, my boy. Now go! You wouldn't want to keep the guardian of earth waiting!" Kris stepped back and nodded. He then ran over to one of the destroyed rocks and picked out a basketball sized piece of it. He thought it was only right to use a rock from his old training grounds as his first step to becoming a warrior of earth. He picked up the stone, which weighed about 50lb, which he could hold tucked under one arm with relative ease. He waved to his master, then took off, heading around Central City, and to wards Kami's lookout to officially begin his training.

Kris arrived at Kami's lookout about 15 minutes later. He flew onto the large platform and landed softly. He then carefully placed his stone on the concrete floor. He stepped back and looked at it for a moment. Kris thought at first that this would be easy. After all, the stone wasn't terribly heavy... He could feel it, though. His arm did feel a tiny bit worked out, and he had used up a fair amount of Ki flying all the way home and back. This may not be so easy after all... He looked up at Kami, who was still meditating. He looked back at his stone for a second before taking a deep breath and flying off the tower once more, his white aura flaring brightly. As he flew down, he was trying to think of ways to conserve his Ki... Of course! His white aura flared a bit before going very dim. He then entered a head-first dive, going straight down. Why use up Ki when you can just fall? He used a tiny amount of energy to guide him through the air, but it wasn't enough to affect him too much in the long run. As he neared the ground, his aura lit up again as he flew to wards the mountains he saw earlier.

It was about a 20 second flight to the mountains from the base of the tower. Kris reached a good-looking, smooth area on the side of the mountain, and decided to start there. He hovered in place for a moment to further examine the mountains... Now, to get his hands on some rocks. Kris extended his arms toward the mountainside, his palms open and facing outward. He floated in place a good 400 feet away from the mountain as he started gathering Ki in his hands. It had been a while since Kris used any type of energy attack, as he had mostly been training with the Kiaiho Sutoraiki, a type of melee attack. His aura lit up light blue as a large orb of Ki manifested itself in front of his hands. It was about twice the size of a basketball, and glowed with a yellow/orange light. "Ha!" Kris yelled as the Crasher Ball condensed itself into a small orb the size of a baseball before firing from his hands toward the mountain. The dense ball of energy soared through the air, picking up speed before making contact with the mountainside. A forceful shock wave exploded from the point of impact as debris flew outward. Rocks of varying sizes were thrown in every direction before landing in the grassy valley below. Kris flashed a satisfied grin before descending into the field below.

Kris landed on the soft grass gently as he casually walked through the field, observing the rocks of different sizes. He noticed one incredibly large boulder that was round, and about the size of him. There was no way he could lift that one, but he would keep it in mind. He kept scanning the area as he started to come up with a strategy to take on this training. He debated whether he should start with smaller rocks or larger ones, or perhaps balance it out the whole way through? He considered different possibilities. If he started with smaller rocks, he could warm up into the training, making it easier once he got to the larger rocks. The downside to this, however, was that his strength might decrease too much by the time he got to the heavier lifting. Another option was to start big. He would have to struggle for a while, but as the training went on and his strength decreased, the rocks would get lighter, making it easier. That is, if he has enough energy to lift the small rocks at all... After a few minutes, he made up his mind. He thought it would be best to go with the second option. He would start big and get most of the weight out of the way at the start, making it easier in the long run. He spotted a nicely sized rock that was about as big as a microwave. He leaned over and positioned his hands under the rock as he prepared to lift it. He started lifting it, his aura glowing white as he slowly rose up, the rock held against his chest. The rock was much denser than he had anticipated. He could barely walk with the large stone, as it must have weighed at least 400 pounds. He then looked up and attempted to take off using Bukujutsu... His aura flared light blue as he pushed off the ground, but the rock weighed him down too much. He grunted as he tried propelling himself higher, but only managed to make it 6 feet off the ground before giving up, falling back on his feet... This was going to be a long training session. He then planted his feet firmly on the ground as an idea struck him. His aura then flared a deep blue as he focused his Ki. He crouched down, his feet glowing with a powerful aura as he focused all his Ki beneath him. In one great effort. he leaped off the ground, using his Ki to power up his jump. The technique worked, and gave him just enough momentum to allow him to pick up speed and fly back to the tower. It was challenging to fly while carrying the boulder - he could feel his energy being spent much faster than if were flying without it. He flew upward toward the lookout. As he reached the top, he released the rock, letting it fall onto the platform freely. He realized that he'd made a mistake as the rock crashed onto the concrete floor, making quite a large crack in the tiles surrounding it. "Ergh!", Kris gasped and looked at Jami, who was still meditating. Thankfully, Jami didn't snap out of his concentration at the sound of the rock's impact. Kris sighed in relief, then promptly flew back down the tower to retrieve another stone.

Kris continued this process, carrying smaller and smaller stones to the lookout. After about two hours, he had collected about 60 stones in a large pile. He estimated the weight to be about 4,000 pounds, with each stone weighing about 60 pounds. He was definitely feeling the toll of collecting the stones, now. His body ached and his Ki level was depleting. He found himself breathing hard just by flying down the lookout. To think, he wasn't even half way done. He flew down to where his rocks were still lying. Sweat trickled down the side of his face as he prepared to bring back another rock, when he heard a noise approaching from a distance... It was a low, mechanical sound. He turned his head to see a dust cloud approaching. He was caught off guard when the dust cloud rapidly got closer, revealing a large group of men on hovering motorcycle-like machines. They barely missed Kris as they drove right past him. Kris watched with barely a flinch as they circled around him, slowing down as they glared at him angrily. The motorcycles stopped as the men jumped off of them. The men turned around and returned their cycles into the trademark Capsule Corp. capsules. The men then looked at Kris. They were very tough-looking, and didn't seem the least bit friendly as they stared at Kris. One man stepped from the circle and approached Kris. "Hey there, kid!", the man said in an angry, mocking tone, "You mind telling me what you're doing out here?" Kris then replied: "Um, I'm training. Who are you?" The man laughed and said "You mean you don't know who we are?? Boy, you've got some nerve! We're the Blood Red Riders, the meanest, nastiest, most misbehaving band of thugs this side of Central City!" The men yelled. Many "Yeah!"s and "That's right!"s were heard as they taunted Kris. "... So, what do you want from me?" Kris asked. "Let me explain something to you, kid... People fear us. And do you know why? Because we're the strongest guys around! No one messes with the Blood Red Riders if they know what's good for 'em! Now, we've been watching you carry them big rocks around, fl yin' around with your fancy tricks... And I think it's time to eliminate some of the competition!!" It was obvious that these guys wanted a fight. Kris assessed the situation... There were 12 men, each with a power level around 100. Although they were quite strong for mere humans, they wouldn't be a match for Kris. However, considering their numbers, and the fact that Kris was worn out from training, the fight could be a challenging one... So be it, more training for Kris. Kris slowly put his guard up, stabilizing his power level and taking a deep breath. The men laughed and mocked him. One stupid-looking fellow walked up to Kris from behind and laughed loudly, putting his hand on Kris' shoulder. Kris reacted and back handed the man's stomach with his fist, knocking him out instantly. A hush fell over the group as they were shocked by Kris' strength. All of a sudden they yelled and charged Kris. Kris squinted his eyes with a serious expression. One man attempted a wild hay maker punch to Kris' flank. Kris ducked under the punch and delivered a strike of his own to the man's side, no doubt breaking a rib. The man fell over, writhing in pain. This put Kris at a slight disadvantage as another thug tried a rising kick to Kris' head. Kris kept his body loose when fighting so that he could avoid situations like this. He expertly swayed his upper body, dodging the kick before jumping up and delivering a swift kick to 2 men's heads. They both fell over as they most likely lost consciousness. Only 8 men left... Three more men entered a rage and desperately tried to lung at Kris. Kris simply ducked under the attacks and delivered a sweeping kick that tripped all three men around him. As they hung in the air for but a half second, Kris struck all three, expertly maneuvering above them using Jujitsu as he let loose a small flurry of punches and kicks to their midsections. They all fell limp on the ground. 4 of the remaining 5 charged at once. The attempted to tackle Kris, but Kris simply caught them off guard and knocked them out with a few kicks and punches. The last man remained. He backed away from Kris, frightened. He looked around at the pile of unconscious thugs that were scattered around Kris.

The thug pulled out a handgun and pointed it at Kris. "S-stay away from me, you freak!!" he yelled. Kris went full alert and put his guard up. He had never come across anyone with a firearm before. Without warning, the thug shot Kris rapidly. Kris' senses lead him as he dodged bullet after bullet. The thug's last round was shot. This bullet caught Kris off guard and was on a collision course with his head. Kris held out his hand and caught the bullet, using Ki to help cushion it's impact. The result was a lot of pain, and a rather large welt, but Kris was relatively unharmed. Kris leisurely walked up and punched the last thug in the stomach, knocking him out cold.

Kris took a deep breath. He thought the fight would be a bit more challenging... Apparently the thugs had very little skill to go along with their brute strength. Kris went back to his task. He was running out of rocks, however, and needed to create more. An idea struck him on how to kill two birds with one stone in his training (Not literally...). He approached the huge boulder he noticed before. He took a deep breath and placed his hand on it gently. He took a moment to even out the energy flow in his body. "Haaaahh... YAH!!" In one single action, Kris shot his Ki through his hand and into the rock. His entire muscle mass transmitted it's energy into the point of contact, shattering the rock into several pieces. He could tell he was getting better at the Kiah Strike. Soon, he would be able to use it in combat.

He continued carrying rocks to the lookout as normal for the next three hours. His strength was failing, and he found it difficult to even fly without a rock. His energy was almost depleted. This was by far the most he had ever pushed his body's limits. He struggled to remain conscious as he carried the last rock onto the large platform in the sky. He had collected 184 rocks, equaling around 10,00lb. He collapsed out of sheer exhaustion. He finally did it... He did as Kami requested, collecting 1,000... Uh oh. Kris' eyes shot open. He had collected the right weight, but by pushing his limits with individual rocks, he completely forgot about the quantity of rocks needed! Kris strained his tired mind for ideas about how he could get more stones. He couldn't even fly properly, let alone carry 816 more rocks up to the lookout. He had an idea... There was one way to increase the amount of stones. He took a deep breath - perhaps the deepest of his life - and tried to get up. His muscles burned under the strain of his own body's wright. Every fiber of his being felt as if it wanted to give up and fall apart... But he couldn't give up now, not when he was so close to completing his training! He eventually found the strength to get up and walk over to his large pile of rocks. He focused his Ki, trying to muster enough energy for what he was about to do. He stood on top of the pile of rocks, then started to focus his Ki...

"......... HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!" Kris screamed at the top of his lungs, raising his power to it's limits as he lit up with a bright, deep blue aura. The result was the pile of rocks being sent into the air beside him. As soon as most of the rocks were sent skyward, Kris leaped into the air and unleashed his signature move, the Flash Kick, designed by him years ago. He focused the last little bit of Ki into his right leg, then kicked wildly at the rocks surrounding him. The Ki in his leg increased the speed to unimaginable levels, kicking at 20+ kicks per second. He smashed rock after rock, demolishing them into smaller pieces. His leg felt like it was about to fall off as he kept kicking, using the best concentration he could to estimate the amount of rocks he was creating. After just 10 seconds, he couldn't take any more. His aura vanished as he fell out of the air and onto the hard concrete. He was completely incapable of movement as he slowly lost consciousness, only to be showered by hundreds of small stones.

Kami had since left his post atop the tower, he was gardening in the front plot, pulling weeds, and watering the flowers there, it was a strange action as Kami could just bring these to life without water or sunlight using his own healing capabilities, however at this point he was enjoying the action of gardening all the same.

As the rocks began to shower a few struck Kami as he worked, and even began hitting his flowers, Kami turned, his hands glowing white, and began creating one of his holy force-fields, which was easily strong enough to repel the stones. Ones the barrage was finished Kami walked over to his passed out student and shook his head.

Putting both hands down on the young warrior he began the healing process, it took only a few seconds to wake the young lad from his exhaustion and the moment his eyes opened Kami began to speak.

"Young one you have learned two lessons, the first is to follow my orders without question, this you have passed, the other is to know your power limit, and to never over exert yourself for the risk is to great"

He said this leaning over the young half saiyan, he then stood and looked over the lookout.

"Although something must be said for your partner who has not finished, he appears to be struggling"

[matrixwarsz]

Kris' eyes fluttered open suddenly. He sat up, quite shocked at how fast he'd recovered. He then looked at Kami. Kris assumed that Kami healed him, and listened to what Kami had to say eagerly.

Kris then got up... He took a step towards Kami, who was now standing by the edge of the lookout. As soon as he stepped forward, however, he noticed something... He threw a quick punch into the air. Unbelievable! Kris' body felt much lighter, and more powerful. Perhaps it was just Kris' mind playing tricks on him. Maybe he only seemed stronger in comparison to how beat up he was before? No. No, this was real power. TRUE strength. Kris was amazed at how effective Kami's training had been.

Kris then hovered over the edge and sensed Ba's energy signal far below. He decided to go see what was wrong.

"I'll go check on him, master."

With that, Kris flew down to meet with Ba'...

((End of training, PL please?))

[Geurin]

Kami watched as the young boy flew down to help his comrade, of whom he had only met hours ago and again smiled.

I didn't realize having students would be this rewarding

With that he turned around and began walking back to his garden, which had been thoroughly beaten up in the barrage of rocks from earlier, he then let out a deep sigh and again thought to himself.

I didn't realize having students would be such a pain

Exhaling he got back on his knee's and began to heal the plants as he had Kris, he knew this to be cheating by his own code of Gardening conduct, but it was clear that sometimes a little extra help was needed.

Heh, its funny how excited he gets about doubling his power....one plus one is still only two after all

He laughed at his own cruel joke at his students expense and then went back to work, knowing that this was only the beginning

(We will use this thread for all of his solo trainings with me, but yes lets get PL for the first training, i suspect he may have doubled his PL)

[Deleted]

+1450 for Kris, +100 PL for Kami

Gave you a bit as well since this is your character training Kris'
