Diana

(This will be my first attempt at writing a fight, if I made some silly mistakes I apologize, I will try to get even better at fights as I plan to make this novel one with lots of fights.

Enjoy the chapter and see you in the next episode of Dbz! )

Indra froze when he saw her, although he had seen her the day before he could not appreciate her face well as it was quite far away, but now that he had her in front of him he was quite puzzled as she was very beautiful. ''She just like you has to go through my training to enter Olympus, from now on we will live together until when I believe you both are ready to enter the realm of the gods. '' Ares snapped Indra out of his daze for a few seconds before leaving him bewildered again.

"Are you saying that he will live with us for a few years?'' When Indra could finally think clearly he knew there was something strange about this. Ares is not the kind of man who would be willing to train a person, let alone a girl. He is a special case since it was a favor asked of him by Hades and Aphrodite, Indra felt there was something Ares was hiding regarding this girl.

''Wash your ears kid, I just told you she will, show her the house and then go train, I'll come for you when it's noon.'' Ares commented and left without saying anything, leaving an awkward silence between Indra and the girl.

''Nice to meet you, I'm Indra, I'm 3 years old and I hope we'll get along well.'' Indra tried to fill the awkward silence, although he was a little nervous as she was very pretty, even though Indra used to seeing beauties like Aphrodite and Persephone this girl could easily compete or even surpass them when she grows up.

Her skin was as white as the moon and her face looked like it was carved by the Gods themselves, her eyes that could cause all the stars and flowers to lose their color just by looking at them were a beautiful crimson red color with cat pupils and 3 red dots on the side of her left eye that made her look even more beautiful, she has beautiful snow white hair that reaches her back and she wears a beautiful white sleeveless dress with golden edges with golden sandals.

''My name is Diana.'' Diana replied coldly causing the awkward silence to return throughout the living room.

''Nice to meet you Diana, I'll quickly guide you around the house and then we'll leave for training, Ares might get mad if we take too long to go to training.'' Diana just nodded and silently followed Indra, she quickly took one of the spare rooms and Indra was surprised when he noticed that she didn't bring anything, then he hit his head since he hadn't noticed it until now.

A few minutes later Indra and Diana were walking towards the training grounds. "So... Are you the daughter of some gods or something? You must have enough potential for Ares to be willing to train you.''

''My mother died and I've never had a father.'' Indra was quite surprised at Diana's answer, not because of the content of her words but because of the obvious resentment she showed at the mention of her father.

''Oh sorry, I don't have parents either and I don't know if they are dead or just don't love me.''

Indra and Diana continued walking for a few minutes until Diana spoke. ''I'm 5 years old.'' Indra let out a small laugh as she noticed that her plan had worked. This was something that Aphrodite had taught her recently, she told her that the best way to approach a person who had a problem was to sympathize with them and comment on some problem of your own that tries to give equal status between both people, this way you both will have something in common to sympathize with and form a friendship or relationship. Indra was happy that Aphrodite's advice worked but what she didn't know was that it showed its effect so quickly just because she was only a child.

''I'm 3 years old, I hope we can get along very well.'' Diana didn't notice Indra's strange smile and simply nodded, a few minutes later they both arrived at the training field.

Indra and Diana were about to say goodbye, as Diana was training with a different instructor, but they stopped when they heard Ezio's voice in the distance. ''Hey Indra, she can come with you.''

''Ezio, but she has a different instructor.'' Indra shouted back at Ezio thinking that this was quite strange.

''It doesn't matter, just like you she is talented and can become one of the few warriors born in Sparta, since I am on strongest his warrior among the other on instructors, I was ordered to train you both''.

Indra thought quickly and came to the conclusion that this was the work of Ares. Although he still had some doubts about Diana, he knew that she and Ares were hiding something from him.

'You think well, I can easily sense that they tried to hide her divine power in a similar way or maybe with the same ritual we did on you, if you spend more time with her I will be able to detect half of her divine power, maybe that will give us an idea of who her parents are, keep in mind that you can't befriend or fall in love with her. Possibly she has been sent especially to investigate you, you must not trust anyone.'

Indra had a similar thought to Sirius so she took his words into consideration. ''Alright Ezio, I appreciate you training us both.'' Ezio nodded and then looked at Diana. ''I hope you don't have any complaints towards this because even if you did they would be rejected.'' Diana simply nodded and continued walking beside Indra towards Ezio.

''Today you will run 500 meters as a warm up just like yesterday, then you will do 2 sets of 15 reps. you will do pull-ups, squats, burpees, and dips. The previous break was 10 minutes however today you will only have 5 minutes, today you will also practice in unarmed combat until you are ready to use weapons.''

Indra walked with Diana to one end of the training field with the other kids, then they all did some stretching and then started jogging. ''Today's training will be more extreme than yesterday's, I hope I can complete it at the same pace as the others.'' A few minutes later Indra was sweating a little but he wasn't tired at all, then he turned to check on Diana and was surprised when he noticed that she didn't even have a drop of sweat on her. ''It looks like you really have a lot of potential.'' Diana turned around when she heard Indra.

''I guess.'' Indra could only let out a sigh as she noticed that she was still as cold and indifferent as before.

''I guess you have full confidence in finishing the real exercise, yesterday I almost fainted after finishing the whole training.''

''Maybe it's because you've never done physical training before, you have a pretty strong body and if you get used to doing physical exercise you could do twice as much as we do now.''

''How do you know all that? Did Ares tell you?'' Indra raised her guard a little and stared at Diana. Sirius was right, she could be quite dangerous.

''I have special eyes with which I can see people's souls and I can see little memories of people's past, seeing a little bit of your memories I can deduce that you have a pretty special past, but when I see your soul you confirm my suspicion that you are special, I know you have a divine power but at the same time you have another kind of power that I have only seen in you, not even in my previous world I saw that kind of power.''

'You must kill her, if she tells another God about this they will surely come to kill you.' Sirius didn't keep quiet and quickly warned Indra his was quite nervous.

''Do you come from another world?'' Indra couldn't help but ask since according to Hades he also came from another world.

My world suffered a war in which all existing life forms died, I was the only person who survived because my mother used a spell to send me to another world."

''How did you meet Ares?'' Indra asked noticing that there was something strange in this story, he knew that there was something even bigger behind all this, her having her divine energy hidden just like him already gave him a weird feeling, but now that he hears a bit of her past he is sure that there is something else in all this.

''I can't tell you.''

''Hey that's not fair, you can see my past and you know my biggest secret and yet you don't want to tell me some things about yourself.'' Diana looked at Indra for a few seconds before sighing.

''My relationship with him is quite special, this is the only thing I can tell you. Don't be so nervous either, I won't tell anyone about what I saw, I hate those people anyway.'''

'She seems to have some dark past with the Gods of Olympus including Ares. I still recommend you eliminate her, it's better to act right now and not regret it in the future.'

'Calm down Sirius, I won't do anything to her for now, I don't sense any ill intent in her words.'

'You're getting closer and closer to that future vision because of your stupidity.' Sirius seemed to be quite angry but Indra just ignored him.

''Break is over, you will now continue with the training as I explained before.'' Indra turned to Diana and noticed that she was looking at him as well, Indra smiled mischievously and whispered in Diana's hatred. ''I know I'm quite handsome and you may have fallen in love, but I'm only 3 years old, wait a little longer.''

Diana jumped back as she was quite flushed. ''Stupid, I wasn't looking at you, I was looking at your soul!'' Indra let out a small laugh and then joined the other children.

A while later Indra was panting as he sat on the floor, then he turned to Diana and noticed that she too was gasping for air. ''Can you continue, we're just getting started.'' Indra couldn't help but ask Diana, she was looking quite delicate after all.

''This is nothing, my mother put me through hell when she trained me.'' Diana answered slowly without changing her expression.

''Your mother must have had a similar personality to Ares.'' Diana trembled slightly when she heard Indra, however it only happened in an instant but Indra didn't miss Diana's reaction. 'Just as I guessed, Ares and his mother seem to be related.''

"Now we will engage in unarmed combat, you will follow my movements and then choose a training partner to fight with." Indra nodded at Ezio's words and then turned to Diana, but stopped when she saw all the children surrounding her.

''Be my sparring partner, I'm the strongest of everyone here.''

''What the fuck are you talking about, I'm the strongest and there's no one better than me to be your sparring partner.''

''Choose me, I assure you, you won't regret it.''

It seemed all the kids wanted Diana to be their sparring partner for different reasons, some because they noticed she was stronger than most of the kids and others just wanted to flirt with her.

Indra looked for a few seconds at Diana and then turned and stared at Ezio. ''Ezio, I want you to be my training partner.'' Ezio looked for a few seconds at Indra and then nodded. ''That's something a true warrior would say, no doubt you will go down in history when you grow up.''

When Ezio nodded Indra hit his face with his palm. 'What the hell am I doing, I'm supposed to come here to train and become strong, not to flirt with a girl.' When Indra saw how many boys approached Diana he remembered that he had not come to make friends, he only had the goal of becoming strong enough to avoid that terrible sight. 'Apparently I was distracted when I saw her yesterday, I can't make a stupid mistake like this again.'

'I'm glad you caught on quickly, I was going to give you advice anyway but it's always better to learn from your mistakes yourself.' Sirius seemed to be quite proud of Indra, although this mistake in his opinion was quite small it made his courage increase even more. If Indra could pick up on these small mistakes quickly it meant that when she made a major mistake she would be able to solve it quickly or even not make any big mistakes at all.

Diana, who was surrounded by all the children, looked at Indra. 'She seems to have a big problem, but I can't see what it is.' She had seen when Indra was going to approach her but stopped when she saw her surrounded, then she noticed a small change happening in her soul and at that instant Indra turned to Ezio and asked him to be her rival.

''Alright, quickly choose your partner and then get back in formation.'' Diana came out of her pensive state and chose the boy she thought was stronger than the others and got back in formation.

Ezio got into combat stance and the other children followed his movements. ''These combat techniques at the same time serve as training, you will combine different moves in which you can control the strength of your blows and actions freely, this way you provoke a superior energy drain making it quite effective in intense training.'' Ezio threw a quick punch straight with the forward hand of his guard.

''At the same time you subject your muscles to great efforts without hurting them, this will give you the physique of a true Spartan warrior.'' Then he threw a direct punch with the back hand of his guard.

''It will also improve your breathing making your health improve along with your stamina, it will work your heart making your health improve significantly and you won't have problems in the real intense workouts which you will do when you grow up.'' Ezio threw a horizontal hook followed by a vertical hook.

''You will strengthen your back, abdomen, pecs and core. Your whole body will be strengthened and your posture will improve preventing you from getting tired easily and preventing pains. Also by improving your posture your perception of space will improve greatly and make you more agile and precise.'' Ezio threw a low roundhouse kick and then quickly followed up by throwing a medium roundhouse kick, at stomach level. He spun quickly and threw a high roundhouse kick pointing to the head, then quickly lowered and threw a front kick with the sole of his foot.

''There are other moves to learn but they are more advanced, I will teach them when I think you are ready to learn them.'' Indra who had followed Ezio's every move was sweating like a waterfall. ''What the hell, it was just a few moves but they left me too tired, yesterday's combat training wasn't that intense.''

''You will practice these moves for 2 hours and then you will start combat training with your partner.''

Indra was about to start practicing the moves but Sirius stopped him.

'This combat technique is very efficient, but you won't achieve anything if you don't control your breathing and concentrate perfectly. I recommend that you practice the same movement 8 times in a row in 15 seconds and then continue with the other movements in the same way, when you complete all of them you will go back to the first movement and try to reduce the time in which you finish the 8 repetitions.' Indra nodded and began to follow Sirius' advice.

Indra stood in a fighting stance and calmed her breathing, then threw a direct punch with the forward hand of her guard. 'That was fast, but not as fast as Ezio did, I must try to be faster.'

'Don't try to improve your speed. Control your strength and try to polish the punch as much as you can, when you have perfect control of your strength and the punch is polished enough you can focus on improving your speed, if you concentrate on improving your speed right now you will only wear out your strength and endurance quickly and you will not improve.' Indra nodded and started to control the strength of his punches, after the 8 repetitions he didn't feel that he improved but still he didn't question and continued with the next move.

After a few minutes Indra had finally finished the 8 repetitions with the last move Ezio used. 'Shit, this is pretty fucked up, I feel like my lungs are burning and my arms and legs are not responding.'

''You are doing very well Indra, your training method surprised me a lot, it is very efficient and if you get used to it you will improve at an incredible speed. You better not rest and continue, if you rest all the fatigue in your body will hit you and you won't be able to continue, you better continue while your muscles are burning.'' Indra thought about it for a second and then went back to training.

'Sirius, I know you told me to try to reduce the time in which I can do the 8 reps but I'm not too sure I can do it in my current state.'

'Don't worry about it, just try, your body is as strong as a 12 year old's and if you try I'm sure you can. Besides, right now you are in a state where your movements are relaxed but strong.' Indra didn't understand what Sirius meant by her movements being relaxed and strong, but still said nothing and tried to slow down the time.

'Let's begin.' Indra concentrated and then threw the first direct fist, then quickly retracted his fist and threw the second fist with his other arm. Indra continued but didn't notice Ezio staring at him. 'He certainly has the potential to be as strong as the brave heroes, he might even surpass them.'

After Indra finished the 8 repetitions of the first move he didn't stop and continued with the other moves.

A few minutes later, Indra was on the floor breathing hard and sweating like a waterfall. 'Sirius, how did I do that' Indra had only concentrated on making the movements as best she could and controlling her strength, she hadn't counted the time she had done at all.

'As expected, in the first set your moves were pathetic, but in the second set your moves improved quite a bit, you managed to shave 2 seconds off with the first move and 1 with the rest of the moves. I estimate that in a few weeks you will be able to do 2 sets in only 12 seconds.' Indra was quite excited as his efforts were showing good results.

'However, don't forget that you should focus more on controlling your strength and polishing your punches. It would be a waste of time if you cut your time down to 10 seconds but in your control of your strength and the quality of your punches were crap.' Indra made a mental note of Sirius' words. Although they often fought and thought differently, Indra knew very well that Sirius always guided him in training in the best way.

''This is no time to rest, we will continue with the last part of today's training!'' Indra stood up and walked slowly towards Ezio when he heard him speak.

''Are you sure you can continue? You can't seem to withstand even a little friction.'' Ezio asked looking Indra from head to toe.

''This is nothing, I can continue.'' Indra calmed his breathing and then used a small amount of thunder energy on his body.

'I thought I told you that if you were to slip up a little while using the thunder on your body you would explode.' Sirius couldn't help but comment as he sensed that Indra had used the power of thunder on his body.

'In these days I could notice that I have an almost perfect control of thunder but the best way to learn how to control it will be fighting, there is no better opportunity than this to learn how to use it. I'm also a bit tired and if I don't use it I'm not sure I'll be able to finish all the training.' Sirius said nothing more and simply let it be.

''Alright, I won't go easy on you just because you're tired.'' Indra nodded and got into a fighting stance next to Ezio.

Indra stared at Ezio while waiting for a move on his part. Ezio took a quick step and threw a horizontal hook towards Indra and Indra quickly dodged it. Indra stepped back and threw a quick roundhouse kick to Ezio's stomach. Ezio stopped Indra's kick with his arm and was surprised when he felt the force behind that kick, it was pretty strong for a 3 year old.

Ezio grabbed Indra's foot and lifted it towards the sky, Indra quickly turned 360º in the air and launched a strong kick towards Ezio's head, Indra thought that this kick would not miss but he was quite surprised when Ezio bent slightly dodging his kick and then launched a strong fist towards his stomach which he could not avoid.

Indra fell to the ground as he held his stomach. 'Shit, Ezio wasn't kidding when he said he wouldn't go easy!' Indra got a strange tingling in his head and spun quickly on the ground, then fixed his gaze on the position he had just been in and saw Ezio threw a kick.

''What's the matter Indra, are you tired already?'' Ezio gave Indra an amused laugh as he looked at him with an air of superiority.

Indra gritted his teeth and stood up quickly, he returned to his fighting stance as he watched Ezio run towards him. When Indra noticed that Ezio was close enough he spun around and kicked backwards aiming for the stomach, Ezio jumped and threw a downward kick to the head, Indra crossed both arms above his head and reloaded his arms with thunder power as he prepared to parry Ezio's kick. When they made contact all the dust around them rose up and a loud crashing sound was heard throughout the training ground.

Boom!!

Diana turned in surprise and saw how Indra was gritting his teeth as he stopped Ezio in mid-air momentarily, then she saw how Ezio used the momentum of the collision and fell to the ground on his hands and threw a kick to Indra's side as he spun, Indra leaned backwards dodging Ezio's kick and then spun and threw a side kick.

Ezio sensed a small sign of danger and propelled himself with his hands into the air and landed on his feet on the ground. ''Hey kid, did you want to leave me without offspring?'' Indra's side kick was specifically directed towards his testicles, something that made Ezio sweat a lot, if it wasn't for the fact that he was able to react quickly he couldn't imagine the consequences of receiving that blow.

Indra just smiled and then lunged towards Ezio, he jumped in the air and spun 360 degrees and threw a side kick, Ezio tried to grab Indra's foot again but was quite surprised when he noticed that Indra retracted his kick as he spun and then threw another kick with his other leg.

'I knew he would try to take my foot again, I'm not such an imbecile as to make the same mistake twice.' Indra was sure he wouldn't miss this kick but was surprised when he saw Ezio parry his kick with his elbow, he then threw a fist straight towards Indra's stomach with his other arm, Indra was able to react quickly and parried the blow with both his hands.

''You have a strong fighting instinct, you have the natural talent to be a strong warrior, but you still have a long way to go.'' When Indra finished listening to Ezio he felt a sharp pain in his right side. Ezio had turned quickly and threw a side kick to his side sending Indra flying to the side. ''No doubt you are quite strong and the kids here would be no match for you, but you still have a long way to go before you can take on a true Spartan.'' Ezio stood in place staring at Indra. 'It was quite strange when he managed to stop my kick in the air, I used almost all my strength but he still managed to stop it, either his body is too strong or his strength is superhuman. I must train him in the best way that he can control his strength or improve his body.''

''Alright children, the training is over for today, I will wait for you tomorrow at the same time as usual.'' Ezio commented and then gave a last look to Indra before leaving the training field.

Indra was lying on the ground as his body screamed in pain, that last kick from Ezio certainly hurt him quite a bit. 'Sirius, when do you think I'll be able to bust his ass' Indra was somewhat his resentful of Ezio, he didn't hold back at all despite being a kid and clearly having more strength and better fighting technique.

'He certainly is quite strong, but you showed perfect control with your thunder element and you didn't hurt your own body, maybe in 3 or 4 years you'll be able to defeat him easily. Although he used almost all his strength he was quite easy with you, his reaction speed is many times superior to yours and his fighting instinct is amazing, you still have a long way to go before you can reach his level.' Indra cheered up a bit knowing that it wouldn't be long before he could beat Ezio. After all Ezio is more than 30 years old and has been training for a long time and has participated in different wars, if he can beat him being only 7 years old it will certainly be a great achievement.

''Can you stand up?'' Indra finished her conversation with Sirius when she heard Diana's voice.

''Sure, this is nothing.'' Indra tried to stand up but then noticed that she couldn't really.

'Sirius, what's the matter, why can't I stand up?' Indra was a little frightened at not being able to move his body, he had never felt anything like this before.

'Did you think you could use the power of thunder on your body without any kind of negative effect? I told you clearly that your body is not strong enough to withstand the power of thunder, although you have an almost perfect control on thunder and you can use it on your body without dying that doesn't mean that your body can withstand this power, you'd better not use the power of thunder on your body too much until you are sure you can withstand it.'

Indra gave a glance to Diana who looked at him with a small smile. ''Why don't you get up, are you sure you don't need any help?'' Indra felt a great embarrassment before a bright idea came to her head.

''Wow, that's the first time you've smiled, you certainly look beautiful when you do.'' Diana blushed quite a bit when she heard Indra and then gave her a weak kick in the stomach. ''Get up, if you keep teasing me I'll get really angry.'' Indra only laughed lightly when she noticed that Diana was only pretending to be angry.

''I'm sorry, but I really can't move, I'd appreciate it if you could call Ares.'' Indra obviously wouldn't ask Diana to help him, she also seemed to be tired after the training.

''See how easy that was to say, I don't understand why men always try to play tough.'' Diana whispered softly trying to make Indra not hear her however he clearly heard.

''That's to try to get the attention of pretty girls like you.'' Indra couldn't help but keep teasing Diana. 'Thank you for teaching me all these things Aphrodite.' Indra clearly continued to flirt with Diana, now if she could do it since she could no longer train. At last she felt that some of Aphrodite's teachings were showing their fruits. Ares had taught him that if he wanted to be a real man he should have the most beautiful women in his arms and Aphrodite told him the same so he took that advice quite seriously, even in the future he would take it quite seriously....

Diana turned even redder and simply snorted and walked towards the house leaving Indra. 'Hey Sirius, she's clearly happy, why the hell is she acting like that?'

'That's one of the great unsolved mysteries in the entire multiverse.'

Indra and Sirius continued to banter until Ares arrived and noticed that only Indra was in the training camp. ''Where is Diana?'' Indra finished talking to Sirius and turned her gaze to Ares.

''I don't know, I think she went to the house, you better help me, I'm knackered.''

''Ezio dumped you from the shit, looks like you'll have even more of your favorite food today.'' Ares mocked Indra and then picked him up.

''You better not get used to this shit, I'm not always going to be there to carry you back home.''

''I know, in a few years I'll even be able to beat you to a pulp in a fight.''

''When that happens I will grant you a wish, of course it will be the one you want.'' Indra noticed Ares' mocking tone and knew that Ares didn't believe Indra could pull it off, after all Ares is a very strong God.

'Sirius, will I ever be able to defeat Ares?'

'Stop asking me this kind of stuff, focus on yourself and try to achieve all your goals on your own, never expect someone else to secure something they have no control over.'

Indra took Sirius' words to heart, he was quite right if he thought about it carefully, then he relaxed a little and fell asleep.
