Chapter 8

Sage-'It's been about 2 days since I have been tossed over here, and I have already adapted to the new gravity. The extreme heat, while highly annoying, is bearable, but the real problem is the lack of oxygen in the environment. I am also pretty sure there are some other toxins in the environment, making it painful every time I try to take a breath of air'

Having nothing to do except get my body acclimated to the harsh weather, I sit down and try my best to hide or lower the amount of ki that radiates off me. Since I already have a basic grasp of my ki it wasn't too hard to lower my ki to 10% which is about 4,000 of my current power. Trying to go any lower though has proved to be exponentially harder, and I have a feeling that completely trying to hide my ever-growing ki will be impossible or at least close to it.

After what I think is a few hours I stood up and powered up to 100% and stayed like that to see how long I can maintain full power. After what I assume is about 10 minutes I notice that I have gotten a little tired but nothing that would interfere with fighting. About another 10 minutes later I feel exhausted, but I know I can go further. So after 5 minutes, I am sitting on the ground panting for breath, which hurts, so that sucks.

Sage-'I think that was about 25 minutes that I can go full-power for, without exerting myself. If I was in battle I think I would only be able to fight at 100% for half that time, But with more training and better ki control, so I don't waste ki in ki attacks the time will naturally go up.'

A few minutes later I got up, ate some food, and went to sleep. I was really tired after doing those exercises.

Several hours later I was interrupted from my peaceful sleep by a kick in the back which kinda hurt.

Zucci-"You need to always be alert and aware of your surroundings, even when resting. If I was an enemy you would already be dead."

Standing up and rubbing my back I look at the culprit for waking me up in the middle of my sleep. Looking at my mom with an annoyed expression I just nod back.

Sage-"Yes mom. So why are you here mother?"

Zucci-"What? Did you think this was a vacation for you? Seeing how fast you stood up it looks like you have adapted to the enhanced gravity. Since that's the case, come here and get ready, it's time for your training to officially begin."

Hearing what my mother said I immediately got into a fighting position to not get caught off guard again. Seeing this, my mother smirks and gets into position while smiling.

We just stand there staring at each. Suddenly my mother makes a move and appears in front of me in a striking position. Seeing this I was immediately caught off, knowing I didn't have enough time to dodge, I crossed my arms preparing for the impact. After waiting for a second and not feeling any impact I open my eyes and find nobody in front of me, But a second later I hear my mother.

Zucci-"NEVER, close your eyes in a battle. Keep your eyes on the enemy at all times."

After I hear that I take a powerful hit to the back of my head, almost knocking me out. I skidded across the ground for a while before I pushed myself up. Now irritated at having been attacked from the back, I go on the offensive. Running towards my mother, I throw right hook after left hook, but she just dodges or blocks them all with ease.

While this was happening something of a smile had formed on my face, of course, I didn't know it at the time because I was too irritated and engrossed in the fight to notice. But my mother saw me smiling while I was fighting her.

Zucci-'Smiling while fighting, he reminds me of myself.'

Seeing how my mother seemed to have enough time to daydream while fighting me made me mad. So after throwing a right hook to her left side, which she obviously dodged. After the punch, I jumped and aimed a kick at her chest which she blocked.

Sage-'Just what I was hoping for.'

Kicking off her crossed arms I do a backflip and land about 4 meters away from her. My mother, seeing how I have put some distance between us, seems to get a little cautious. Smiling, I close my hands together in front of me. Slowly my hands start to spread apart but there is a glowing light red ki ball in my hand, it continues to expand until it is about the size of my head. I am also Sweating a lot, keeping the ball filled with almost all of my energy is a very strenuous thing to do, but I am smiling seeing how I pulled it off. I look at my mother who is in a defensive position like she is ready to take my attack. Seeing this I lift my right arm up and then throw my attack at my mother while yelling the name of the attack like everyone in dragon ball z does for some reason.

Sage-"GALACTIC BURST!!!"

My ki ball travels fast and expands right in front of my mother's face, and a split second later a huge explosion erupts right where my mother was standing. Panting, I smile while thinking I might have at least injured her but suddenly I hear my mother's voice from behind me.

Zucci-"That was a pretty good attack, but you shouldn't have poured all your energy into one attack hoping that it would hit your enemy."

After hearing what mother said I immediately felt pain on the back of my head before I blacked out.

After knocking my son unconscious I grab him by the leg and fly to the camp he made and set him down. While thinking of the fight I just had, I must say I am impressed that he not only kept up with me but managed to create and use such a powerful attack at the age of 3. I already know that future fights with my son will become more and more exciting.
