It was only about a week after his bout with Jorlaxl that Zach returned to the 'super dome' for a bit of training on his own. The outcome of their match was 'interesting' and had reawakened his need to push himself to make sure he was as far above his peers as possible. It wasn't out of a sense of competition that Zach had to keep ahead but rather it was so that he could be the best protector possible. The people of Earth deserve the best and the best they would get. To do that of course Zach had to make use of the dome's gravity equipment as well as it's combat simulator. Between his recovery from the bout with Jorlaxl and his duties at the school Zach hadn't the time to improve the facilities there so the dome was currently his only option for advanced training. Putting aside his duties for the day, Zach departed the school just after breakfast and flew to Satan City where the dome resided and entered through his preferred means, the rooftop helipad access. From there he proceeded downstairs to the arena and then to the control interface. The system had been setup to respond to his voice commands but Zach still preferred to use the manual buttons, switches and levers when ever possible, there was just something a little disconcerting about talking to a computer.
Approaching the panel, Zach dialed in the settings he desired, specifically a barren landscape with temperatures in the high nineties. Then came the gravitational setting which Zach uncharacteristically bumped up in an increment of ten rather then his usual five. Slowly the artificial landscape raised in both temperature and gravitation pull, reaching a punishing intensity of ninety plus degrees and seventy five G's. The air was stifling and between the intense pull on his body and his ever present training weights, Zach very quickly found just standing to be a challenge. His chest rose and fell laboriously as he trudged away from the panel and a moment later the interface vanished, leaving the blonde teen alone in the middle of the barren dessert. After a few more moments to try and adjust to the oppressive environment, Zach rolled his shoulders and started to ascend into his first transformed state. His second was still for the moment out of reach, at least consciously. He also wasn't sure he wanted to make use of it as during his only experience with it he'd done things he wasn't exactly proud of. While he was completely justified in ridding the galaxy of that accursed city of barbaric apes, he regretted that so much life had been lost. Additionally there were the gaps in his memory after having transformed into the rage like state. for no, his first transformational plateau would be sufficient.
Ascending into his first state, Zach's red aura flared up around him as sweat started to roll down his sculpted form. Muscled flexed, skin rippled and joints quietly cracked as he limbered himself up in the intense heat and gravity. Once he was loosened up and ready, Zach concentrated on forming his clone. He was still unpracticed in it's formation so it took a few moments before a second shirtless blonde materialized beside him. Like the first time he formed his clone, Zach imbued the second young man with a will of his own. The two looked at each other, grinned and then took up ready stances. Both looked completely identical and even fought so, both throwing their opening punches at the same time. It was like a man battling his own reflection as both young men pounded their left fists directly into each other's abs. Both grunted a forcefully exhaled breath and then lunched a second and a third punch. Zach had never fought with someone as physically strong as him that solely targeted his midsection before and this fight was looking like it was going to be brutal. Sure Nam, for the short time he was stronger took Zach down with a few well placed shots, but never did he just bash the blonde's guts exclusively. The same was true of his fight with Suki, the end of which he still preferred to forget.
The two traded punch after punch, wrecking the other's abs and cutting their labored breath shorter and shorter until both were literally leaning against each other landing punishing slugs into their midsections. Finally though the clone took the initiative and kneed Zach in the gut. The boy's eyes went wide as his breath was completely knocked out of him and his innards started to ache to the point where his knees get weak. Giving Zach a shove the clone managed to topple the boy onto the ground. Before the teen could react the clone lifted his leg and stomped down on Zach's stomach. Zach gagged and his arms dropped out to the sides as his innards were further brutalized. The clone lifted his foot again and once more slammed it down into the poor boy's midsection, drawing a loud groan out of him. This went on for a good minute or so until Zach's abs completely gave out and his body went into convulsions. Knowing exactly what was happening the clone pulled his boot out of Zach's gut and knelt down, helping the blonde to roll onto his side a moment before he started to vomit onto the dusty ground.
"That was pretty good. Just tell me when you're ready to go again." the clone said, padding his originator on the shoulder and stepping away.
Zach laid there for a few minutes just trying to get a handle on his breathing before he finally huffed out a response to the clone. "The whole point... was for you... to kick my butt... not play mister nice guy."
Chuckling at his original's bloody mindedness, the clone strolled back over, at least as best as he could in the oppressive gravity and walked around to the Zach's front side. "If that's what you really want." he said cheekily before drawing his leg back and kicking Zach in the stomach. The impact was tremendous, thudding into the boy's guts like a freight train and launching him across the dirt. Groaning Zach rolled to a stop once more on his back but the clone gave no quarter, leaping into the air and coming down like a missile, landing one boot on the blonde's chest and the other in his already destroyed midsection. Zach howled in pain as his guts took the punishing blow and a smattering of blood sprayed out of his mouth. That was the clone's queue to take things up one more notch just to get that extreme edge to the already intense training. Stepping off of the defeated boy, the clone directed his right palm down at the teen and let loose an energy punch with all the power he could put into it. The smooth sphere of kinetic energy plunged into Zach's ruined abs, and shoved it's way all the way to his spine. The teen coughed up more blood and then when the full shock of the ball settled so deep in his body hit him, he cried out in absolute agony. Only once before had he ever felt something so penetrating, so deep inside of him, the day he was impaled on one of Suki's horns. This though was easy compared to that short-lived torture. Unfortunately for Zach though, this would last much, much longer as the ball continued to try and push through his body.
The scene remained unchanged for minutes, long enough for the clone to start to feel bad for his doppelganger. It was a race now between how long Zach could remain conscious with the ball trying to burrow it's way though his guts and how long the ball's energy would last. Having directed a massive amount of power into the ball it had lasted far longer then any other and eventually the race was decided. Gasping for breath and suffering from both the heat and continuous strain on his smashed body, Zach eventually passed out. His mind no longer able to sustain the clone, the second blonde vanished as did the ball sitting deep in his stomach. The boy's midsection filled back in and he started to breath again as the clone's energy returned to his body. Eventually Zach came around, his body aching in more places then just his guts, every muscle in his body was killing him given the continuous punishment put upon him by the environment. Once he felt strong enough, Zach dragged himself back to his feet and called out for the computer to materialize the control panel. It appeared not far away and after quite some effort, the blonde teen managed to trudge his way over to it and shut down the program. At once the gravity fell to normal and the artificial landscape returned to that of the arena interior as well as the temperature falling to normal. Still feeling like he was going to throw up again but knowing that was impossible as his breakfast was left back in the artificial dessert, Zach made his way to the helipad and then lifted off, gliding back to the Victory school for a quick visit to the medical section to ensure he wasn't bleeding internally anymore and then a long day's and nights rest.
