A Man Of Vision (Raven's Training Thread)

Raven dragged himself through the rubble of the Tuffle gravity room slowly, inching ever more toward the gravity chamber. His determination was amazing. His legs were completely immobile, and his fingers could only twitch. His arms did all the work as he climbed, struggling over pieces of debris, until he finally reached the hallway leading to the gravity room. He was exhausted after constantly training in the gravity and simulation room.

He stopped for a moment to catch his breath. What was he doing? Was he trying to kill himself? All of these thoughts crossed the young tuffle's mind, but moments later, he picked himself up again and continued to crawl toward the chamber. The enemies of his people were growing stronger every day, and he had to stay ahead of them. He had to train to stop all that would stand in his way.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, Raven's hands clanked on the metal floor of the gravity chamber. Just a few more feet until his training could resume...the last of his physical strength brought him to the console and propped him up against it as he punched the keys to engage gravity times forty.

Raven let his body fall to the ground as the gravity turned on. The strain was more than he had before experienced, but due to his great power he withstood it with little difficulty. He prepared to do as all of his race could--to engage in a mental training session. It was truly an amazing ability, to be able to gain more power by having a purely non-physical battle. The best part for Raven was that the gravity would have the same effect on his mental projection as it would on his physical body. He might just have the strength he needed to recover from his wounds after his training.

Raven closed his eyes, feeling the gravity working against his body and causing his mental faculties to experience quite a bit of strain. Finally, his consciousness was transferred to his mental projection, and he found himself standing on a vast plain, stars littering the sky. The mental Raven jumped around a bit and tested the gravity slightly, finding that it made him feel as though he weighed tons. The pre-teen found that his speed was slowed a great deal as he turned to face his opponent.

The warrior that Raven created was a Saiyan; in fact, it was a mirror image of the warrior he had longed to face. It was a fight Raven could count on that really could pushed his limits, and learning to combat this fighter's style would greatly aid him in dealing with the rest of the Saiyan population.

The warrior took a fighting stance, while Raven stood completely still. Angry at his nonchalant behavior, the Saiyan charged, sending a flurry of punches and kicks that Raven dodged easily. With every feverish blow, however, he was losing speed, another effect of the gravity--it took a bit off of his edge. Finally, the Saiyan connected with a punch that sent the boy skidding backward a few feet.

Raven smiled. It would be a valuable training experience, this one. The teen rushed his opponent, fist raised for a strike, as the Saiyan prepared a block. At the last possible moment, Raven disappeared and reappeared behind him, driving a fist into his back that sent him stumbling forward. Raven disappeared and appeared again in front of him, kicking him in the chin and sending the warrior onto his back on the ground.

Smirking, Raven leapt high in the air and landed on the Saiyan's rib cage full force, chuckling at the loud CRACK he heard upon impact. The warrior screamed in pain at his broken ribs as Raven jumped into the air, whipping his foot at the Saiyan to send him rolling across the ground. The young tuffle took a few steps back and began to study the Saiyan's pained moves.

The blow from the fist had hurt quite a bit, leaving a bruise on Raven's chest. Now, though, he clearly had the advantage as the Saiyan climbed to his feet painfully, a small yellow orb in his hand. Raven knew what was coming, but waited anyway. He needed to know how to fight this form the Saiyans changed into, seemingly at will. He watched with interest as the fighter's body expanded, grew harrier, and erupted into the body of a giant ape.

Raven took his fighting stance now as the monkey charged him, laughing voraciously. Raven's eyes widened before, the warrior hadn't had the presence of mind or even focus completely on him in battle. Was it possible for these apes to control themselves?

There was no time to wonder. In a second, the ape had snatched him up and was squeezing tightly, before casting him to the ground, followed quickly by a huge blast of ki from its mouth. Raven was bruised and then hit hard by the attack, and his body bounced as he hit the ground. He recovered as fast as he could with the ape charging for him once more. He sat up, and fired a quick, ki blast that connected with the monkey's big toe. In pain, the ape grabbed his foot, growling angrily.

Raven quickly took his chance. He charged a ki blast while he could, using all the time he had with the ape occupied, and jumped into the air toward the yellow ball burning in the sky. As the monkey grabbed the teen's leg, he threw his attack straight for the Power Ball, smiling as it connected, dissipating both energies into nothingness. Then, he turned his attention to his foe once more, laughing as he shrank back down to normal size, his horrible wounds reappearing. Raven kicked the Saiyan in the face while he was still halfway between Oozaru and normal, sending him skidding across the ground as he finished his regression.

Raven laughed cruelly as he walked up to the pained Saiyan, who was panting feverishly, scarcely able to breathe. Lifting his broken body into the air, Raven brought the warrior's back down with crushing force onto his knee. The resulting crack caused a wicked smile on Raven's face the Saiyan's spine had been snapped in two. The boy let the Saiyan roll off his knee, then walked away slowly, the warrior writhing, unable to move effectively, and choking on his own saliva.

Raven's eyes opened in the gravity room. He sat up instinctively, realizing that his training had done the trick. Though he was wounded heavily still, he could move. But now the young warrior knew of a more pressing problem the Saiyans were learning how to control their Oozaru form. Raven silently vowed to find the source of this, and to crush it. The last thing he wanted was a monkey stronger than him.

The boy stepped into the gravity chamber and pressed a few buttons, cranking up the intensity from his previous session. At this point, he was the only one using the machine with any regularity.

Raven had grown rather familiar with the Saiyan language at this point, and he now knew just what to press. In seconds, the gravity engaged to forty times what he was normally accustomed to. He felt the pressure, as he before, and he found that he was quite sluggish compared to normal. He was still much faster than any normal warrior, but he was obviously slow.

In order to compensate and adjust to the gravity, the pre-teen began with meditation. He sat on the floor, closed his eyes, and began to utilize his ki to levitate. He channelled his energy to feeling the flow pass throughout his body as he focused on calming his mind.

The process was truly invigorating, and in an hour, Raven felt that he had achieved the level of familiarity with the gravity he needed to do some intense training. He immediately brought his meditation to an abrupt halt, uncrossing his legs and using the small space of time he had before landing to the throw several powerful punches and kicks through the air.

Raven smiled as his feet hit the ground, before letting a hush cry escape his lips, charging a quick little ki attack and then firing it. The teen then leaped into the air, throwing fast punches and kicks before curling into a cannonball and spinning through the air several times, landing on his feet once more.

As he landed, he stumbled slightly. The gravity was obviously having an effect on his equilibrium that he hadn't expected, and the strain on his muscles, already tired from his fight with the Oozaru, was great. He was already sweating buckets, despite the fact that he had just begun training. Nonetheless, he continued with determination, throwing attack after attack through the air. He practiced all of his best moves, using his leg to its full potential, as well.

Winded, the tuffle took a breather, before raising up on his leg and doing a basic exercise that all wariors done. It bettered their health, as well as strengthened their limbs, the legs. Raven raised himself up on his leg and began to push his entire frame upward, then allow it to fall. The exercise ached horribly, the gravity putting intense strain on the powerful muscles of the leg. It was an awkward position, and that added to the gravity's effect of resisting everything Raven did.

Finally, he reached the point as which his leg could bear the strain no longer. He collapsed on the floor, but quickly jumped to his feet, throwing punches and kicks at insane speeds. His leg, at this point, could hardly move; it was essentially just dead weight. Raven's arms and legs became heavier and heavier. He felt at any moment that he would black out and be unable to continue. His muscles burned with the intensity of his workout, but he refused to allow himself to stop.

Finally, panting and drenched, he could no longer even lift an arm to throw a punch. The soreness of his limbs was horrible, but regaining strength was necessary. He had promised himself an all-night training session, and that was just what he would do. He sat on the floor again and crossed his legs, using his reiatsu once more to lift him from the ground.

His leg hung behind him lifelessly as his ki surged through him once more. He was tired, but the meditation was doing his work in restoring his strength. It was a successful training session, to be sure it had worked off his frustrations about the opponents, who were getting stronger by the second, and he could already feel new power surging through him. And he knew what he would do for the present to deal with any upstarts who might try to rebel.

Raven quietly meditated, finally becoming strong enough to stand once more as he stopped his meditation and landed on his feet. He left the gravity room, still tired and exhausted. He was pushing himself too hard, but it was necessary to him. He slowly walked back to a chamber, ready to lay down for some well deserved rest, only to get up again later and continue training all over again.

Raven entered the chamber and flicked the switch to 60x gravity. The room turned a light shade of blue, and then the gravity pushed Raven down to his knees. He would not over exert himself rather he would master gravity.
He pushed hard with the muscles in his legs, and his body rose away from the floor. He stood still for a minute, concentrating on staying up, then started to walk around the room, speeding up with each step. After an hour or so, he thought he was ready for intense training. He started with throwing punches and kicks at the air, stretching his muscles. After another few minutes of this, he started push-ups and sit-ups. 250 of each, then he got to his feet. He set the control panel to let out a droid every thirty seconds, and then waited for the first to come out.

It came out of a compartment in the wall and threw a small ki blast at Raven, who dodged and threw a ki blastl of his own at the droid. The attack hit the droid and pushed it back. Raven drew in for the attack and let off a volley of punches into the droids stomach. At the end of the barrage, Raven's hand was surrounded by a red light. Raven's hand shot forward into the droids face, knocking the head clean off, just as the next droid came out.

He decided that these droids were too easy so he destroyed the droid with a quick but strong ki blast. Later the air around him seemed to weigh a lot more than usual, and Raven was brought down to all fours. The gravity was getting harder to get used to each time he went higher. He spent ten full minutes trying to get up this time and after he did, he fell straight back to his knees again. He thought that in 60x, just staying up and reaching the gravity machine would be more than enough practice.

He pushed up once more on his legs, but this didn't work, so he tried again, and again. On the fourth try, he managed to reach full height. He pushed further, but this time, not through his legs, with his body, and he entered the air. His feet were off the floor, and Raven was flying. He found it extremely hard to stay in the air. After a few seconds, the pressure became too much, and he dropped to the floor. The weight of the gravity pushed down upon him, but he managed to get up first try this time.

He stood and waited. After a minute, he walked around the room once, then sped up and made another lap, then sped up for another lap. After about ten laps he was sprinting at full speed. He was going too fast to stop himself and hit the wall, falling to the floor. He rolled backwards and pushed himself to his feet, nearly fell to the floor, and steadied himself.

He walked around the room and got used to gravity again, then started to punch and kick the air. He punched and kicked the air for a few hours, until he dropped from sheer exhaustion.

Raven flicked another switch on the portable gravity device, and the gravity in the room multiplied instantly to 65x that of earth's normal gravity as usual. Raven was forced to the floor, and stopped his face hitting the floor only by raising his hands above his face. The bones in his arm felt like they had shattered, and he could hardly move them. He tried to lift them from the floor, but couldn't, partly from the gravity. He rolled over onto his back, with difficulty, and looked out the window. Raven was not sure, but was sure he would be ready. With this as motivation, he placed his unhurt hand on the floor, and pushed hard. He was lifted up from the floor. He lifted his knee and put it under him, then the other knee, and pushed.

He was standing. He had used this technique to get up under gravity several times. He went to power up by releasing his ki, but found that he was somehow already powered up. He stood still, and waited, waited for the gravity to push him down. The time did not come, and Raven was able to stay on his feet. He laughed with excitement, and nearly lost his balance, but caught himself at the last second.

He started to walk, then jogged, then ran, then broke into a sprint. He was dripping with perspiration by the time he started to slow down. He punched and kicked the air, wishing once more for a fighting droid. After a while of punching and kicking nothing, he decided to try an imaginary opponent. He sent a kick into the air, back flipped, flew in again, and sent a punch at the imaginary fighters stomach. Raven ducked and twisted, spreading one foot out in front of him, knocking this opponent to the floor, then backed off once more, and fired a large ki blast into thin air. He flew in and landed a punch into the imaginary face. Invisible blood spurted everywhere, and the imaginary fighter was beaten. Raven tried out the imaginary fighter a few times, until he began to grow weary and left the chamber to get some rest, forgetting about the gravity.

After a few hours rest, Raven went back to the training room. As he walked in, he was forced to his knees He had forgotten to turn it off as he left the night before. He forced himself to his feet, and started walking, without making sure he could stand still. He was once more sprinting round the room in a matter of seconds. He stopped, only when he could run no further, which took about an hour. He took a short rest, and started push-ups and sit-ups, 250 of each, then started training with another imaginary fighter.

He brought a right fist into the fighters stomach, then spun away from the fighter, dealing a backhand blow as he came round, then another punch in the stomach, then a large ki blast appeared in his hand. Raven punched the imaginary fighter in the stomach hard, and the ki blast exploded, creating a large cloud of smoke, and a large bang. Raven back flipped. A large ki blast shot from Raven's hands and hit the imaginary fighter hard in the chest.

He was sent flying into a wall and collapsed. Raven tried the imaginary fighter technique a few more times, then went back to normal and hit the floor as he was tired. Couple hours later, Raven got up and left the room. Raven was ready for more training, and he would train until the very end. He looked up at the ceiling, and entered the chamber in front of him. He flicked a switch on the control panel to 68x the gravity of earth.

He was forced to the floor, with enough force to make a visible crack in the floor. Raven felt a bone crack in his ribs, knocking the air out of his lungs. He placed his hands under him and pushed up. He pushed as hard as he could, but could not get up from the floor. He tried as hard as he could, but he could not move. He focused his energy and charged an ki blast. His muscles bulged and this power up gave him just enough energy to push himself off the floor.

He powered down as soon as he was standing. This strain on his legs almost forced him to the floor again, but he stood straight. He ran round the room, getting used to the gravity. After a while he started to punch and kick the air for a while. He gave this up, and programmed the machine to let out a droid with the same Pl as Raven. It launched itself at Raven almost as soon as it left the chamber, knocking Raven backwards.

He sprung off of his hands, back flipped and almost stumbled, from the weight the gravity was putting on him. He regained his balanced himself, dodged a blow from the droid, and brought his own fist up into the droids stomach. The droid was forced back and Raven sent a kick at its head, missed and was knocked back by a punch from the droid. He regained balance again and threw a ki beam punch into the droids stomach.

He back flipped and his hands started to move very fast in different directions. A large ki aura grew in his hands, and fired down at the droid. The droid somehow dodged the blast, at surprising speed, sending a flurry of punches kicks and ki blast at Raven. He blocked some, dodged a few, but most hit, forcing him back. When he opened a gap in the droids attack, he darted forward, but was hit back by a punch to the face each time. He soon gave this up and focused fully on dodging.

After a while of this, he got bored, and was starting to get worn out. He placed one hand behind his back, and although it had been hard to block all even with two hands, he could block all hits easily with just this one hand. In the hand behind his back he was charging a ki blast. When the ki blast was large enough, he brought it out from behind him and jammed it into the droids stomach. There was an explosion and the droid was destroyed. Raven dropped to the ground next to to the control panel, and turned the gravity to normal, and left the chamber sweating heavily.

Raven flicked the switch in front of him and hit the floor. Several cracks spread from the point of impact. He rolled onto one side, and rubbed his bruised chest. He lay in this curled position for a few minutes, then tried to push himself up off the floor. He could not lift himself more than a centimeter off the floor. He tried again and got no further. He tossed pushing himself up off the floor. He reached just high enough to place his knee underneath him, but before he did, he thought about how hard he found it to get up every time he tried higher gravity levels.

He decided to get used to push ups in high gravity before he went into max gravity. He lowered himself to the floor, and pushed up once more, with enormous difficulty. He dropped to the floor this time, rather than lowering himself, then tried another push up. He dropped back to the floor just as he reached around halfway. He rested his muscles for a minute, then tried again, reaching three full pushups, and collapsed on the fourth. He rested his muscles again and the next time he reached five pushups, collapsing without even trying the sixth.

He decided this was enough, and after a rest, he pushed himself once more off the floor, and flew into the air. He threw several hundred ki blast around him, and sped up, flying in and out of the blasts. He sped through the large red balls hanging in the air around him. He spent half an hour doing this in the air, then half an hour on the floor. Eventually he decided that he had spent enough time devoted to speed, and would spend the rest of the time training his stamina and defense.

He ran at one of the ki blast and leapt straight at it. He was engulfed in energy, and pain rushed over his body. He nearly dropped, but made sure he stayed up. He ran into the next ki blast, and felt the pain again. He dropped to his knees this time, but got up and ran into the next. He did this until all of his energy was gone, which took about twenty minutes, and by which time he was bleeding from the lip and his left eye, with many dark burns over his body.

He looked around to make sure there were no more droids in the chamber, and seeing there weren't, he dropped to his knees out of exhaustion and pain. He awoke about half an hour later and lay where he was. After a minute or so, he tried pushups again. He placed his palms on the floor and pushed. One ... two ... three ... four ... five... six ... seven ... eight ... nine ... te-! He hit the floor, after collapsing halfway through the tenth. He got to his feet and massaged his arms. His arms shot off in every direction for a few seconds, then stopped.

A large shot of red ki shot from his hands towards the floor. He placed his hands in front of his body, and ran around to the front of the blast, to continue raising his defense against ki attacks. He shot several more shot of red ki blast, which were made stronger in such gravity, and used his speed so that he was hit, then switched off the gravity. Without the extra weight of the added gravity, Raven felt as light as a feather, and with all that training, he felt bruised, but ready to beat anything as he changed back to normal as usual. He walked out of the room, tired, sweaty, and exhausted just like always. His arms and legs felt like jelly.

After healing and resting up from his last go in the gravity chamber, the young tuffle finds himself getting up once again, bandages and all and trudging to the chamber once again. He wanted to become stronger and stronger. He got in and felt his lungs trying harder and harder to get the required air. Raven decided to spare most of his oxygen and wanted to get out, but the other part of him wanted to train to survive in this chamber. Raven stepped in further and saw signs which said 68x gravity, however, the first goal Raven had set, was getting to 70x gravity. That should have a similar sign though. With every step that Raven took, he felt the need for more and more air. Eventually he got to 69x gravity and almost fell to his knees. But, forgetting that he had new powers, decided to power up to the max and could stand upright again.

Upon reaching the sign that said 70x gravity, Raven immediately saw some sort of city. He figured he could train here and dropped to do some pushups. When he felt he was ready, he tried climbing a building and attempted to jump from roof to roof, until he mastered 70x gravity, along with this simulation build into it. In a short period of time Raven learned how to move freely in 70x gravity. Now he thought that if he actually wanted to gain exponentially in power he had to raise the stakes, he wanted to try 80x gravity. He desperately looked around for any signs of 71x gravity, but he didn’t find one. He went in a certain direction and noticed, because the air he breathed got thinner, that he was headed in the right direction. He passed a small number of buildings that were half collapsed by the free running Raven did. He remembered this area; he refrained from this earlier just because the air got thinner, now he was walking in it.

As soon as he hit the 71x gravity sign, he told himself that after this experience in the gravity room, he would never do this again. Maybe he should go on to 800x gravity, he began to think. He also found that he had to strain himself more and more to breathe. Noticing that he decided to do some kick free running to gain the upper hand over 71x gravity. He soon found the ability in himself to breathe without a problem, stand up right with no problem.

Within the blink of an eye he found himself in the 73x gravity zone. He mostly noticed because the air began to thin again, and as Raven had to put more and more force onto his lungs, he decided to do some sit-ups, followed by some free running. Within the shortest time he also had no problem with 73x gravity. He smiled briefly at his own achievements and continued onwards to 80x gravity. At 73x gravity he thought that the best thing he could do was to free run again, but this time, doing the most complex movements, as to make sure he got everything he needed for everything beyond 73x gravity.

After some time of having strained himself to the utter limits of his strength, Raven was disappointed. Not so much by the obvious fact he mastered living on 75 times gravity of the earth, but he was rather disappointed by the fact his stamina an out very soon. He decided to stay a while on the 75 times gravity border to train his stamina level, and in the meantime, he would look in his surroundings for odd and out of the ordinary things. But first he had to get through the night, which, ignoring the fact he was still in someone’s basement, could be quite chilly, as Raven noticed the few days before.

The night slowly fell, and Raven was still heavily involved in his training. As he was too busy, he did not notice the falling of then night, nor did he notice the footsteps behind him, silently sneaking up to him. Sweating heavily with leaving drips of red hot sweat on the floor, which, because Raven's body was different then humans or saiyans, burned a hole in the ground, he did not notice anything and was ready to collapse to the floor. Now it happened to be that his willpower told him to go on, and so he did, making his senses work properly again, giving him new energy. He turned around immediately after he heard the footsteps, behind the footsteps he saw a man, with his entire body wrapped in a black cover, and he was holding a knife with the size of a small sword.

Raven noticed all that before the man even began to notice he was being watched by the person he was supposed to watch. Raven ceased his training and lunged at the man in black robes, aggressively beating on the mans face. The man tried to fight back by grabbing Raven's head with one hand, and then he twisted his other hands wrist, revealing a sliding blade the size of two index fingers in front of each other. With Raven's head in one hand and his other hand free, he decided to take action and stabbed Raven in his arm. Raven responded by immediately letting go of the man and jumping back a bit, with which he hit a wall with the back of his head, and was stunned for a bit.

After Raven got back into reality, he took note of everything that was going on around him. The wind blew softly against Raven, gently stroking his arm, where the wound was where the man had stabbed him, it was gone now. The wind also seemed to unlock new escaping routes, such as right across Raven, behind his attacker, was a building with an open window that was wide open now, and it looked quite sturdy for a window.

Raven threw the man aside and to his surprise, hit the 78 times gravity marker. Raven thought before taking a sprint and running up the wall of the house he just noted. He ran across all rooftops, waiting for the assassin to follow him, and so he did, and he ran faster then Raven did, because at that time, Raven had passed the 79 times gravity sign and had trouble breathing. Raven decided to ran the last part and took a sprint towards 80 times gravity. And by the time he reached the 80, the assassin, as Raven noticed, couldn’t cross the 80 times gravity border. So Raven was safe, for now…

Standing behind the 80 times gravity sign was the man, who nodded in Raven's direction once. It was then, that the demon noted why the assassin kept on standing there. He wasn’t held back, he was merely giving the demon a breather. As soon as Raven noticed that he didn’t have much time, he also felt a big power in the man, almost on par with his own. Following suit, the assassin rushed at Raven, who wasn’t ready for him yet. Raven got surprised and was thrown into the 32 times gravity sign. Having skipped 80 times gravity, Raven knew for sure he had more then a match on his hands. As Raven made that statement, he was ready for a fight and taunted the assassin to come over. So he came over and immediately let loose a barrage op punches on the demon. He flinched, but firmly held the assassin by his shoulders, and began to intercept and block punches, redirecting them to the assassin. After a while of punching each other they started to lift into the air slowly. Giving more and harder blows with each passing second, the surrounding fell down.

The two fighters quickly broke off from their intense lock-up with the assassin looking worse for wear and Raven looking merely a bit annoyed. It was improbable for the assassin to keep up with him in a one to one bout but yet here it was happening as if something other drove on this strange creature. Bending his knees Raven quickly reached his hand out and began charging up his energy into one ki blast. In this moment the assassin closed his eyes and began to power up himself. Flames encompassing his body as his aura shifted from purple to green in a matter of a second. The two fighters energies collided as the ground they stood on began to shake. Dust particles and bits of rubble began to rise into the air as the two fighters looked each other straight in the eye.

The assassin began to leap a good yard away from Raven while his power began to, possibly in a last attempt, rise heavily. With one loud yell the assassin threw out one big green ball that was obviously too powerful for Raven to hold.
Raven re-appeared above the carnage happening below satisfied that the Necruin would be non the wiser when... Above Raven the Assassin hovered having seemingly followed his Path with his strange blind senses. A Double handed Slam coming into contact with Raven's Back lurching him right into the epicenter of the destructive explosion.

The energy tore at him and singed his demonic flesh as he yelled out in pain. Raven was defiantly confused by this as the dome vanished and he stood there glaring upward at the hovering form of the fighter that had actually caused pain to him. Slowly floating down to the ground the assassin began to breathe harder and harder as his energy slowly left him. This fight was too much! He knew he couldnt hold out much longer and at this state he was bound to die of exhaustion! As he gazed back up toward the sky with his blind eyes, He sidestepped a quivering palm strike meant for his chest and threw a kick up that missed with miles to spare. Blows were exchanged once more as both fighters aura's combined into one white orb of fire that had the remaining buildings crumble to bits. With a Kick, Raven sent The assassin hard, back first, into the one remaining building in the whole area, landing he began charging up one more attack when he noticed that he hit the 79 times gravity border.

The assassin, flipping back to his feet held up his hand in a weakened stance his body reacting as he retreated running back but Raven followed him, hoping that he would gain some information. But instead he found the 80 times gravity sign. Raven was relieved to see that the training had helped. He flicked a switch, turning off the gravity and simulation that when along with it. Raven sighed as he was panting, blood on his face here and there and sweat pouring down, dripping all over his clothes. He headed back to his quarters for some rest.

As Raven slowly walks through the gravity chamber doors once again, he looks around for the switch and dial to set the room to his liking. When he spots the gravity dial and the start switch he sets it to 80x since he has mastered all the way up to x70 now it was time to take it on to the further step. He threw some punches at the air. Then he practiced his combos he did three punches and two kicks then when he pictured his foe falling back from his combo he did a back flip kick and finished it off with a desert flash as the image in his head fell to the ground. Raven grinned but then frowned in anger it was true that the tuffle training has greatly improved his strength but in that same breath it was known that there were many more warriors out there that still seemed to surpass him regardless of his growing strength.

By this time Raven was furious he started to explode with anger and he let out a barrage of punches, kicks, energy blasts all around. As he trained harder and harder with each passing second he noticed how much he has improved since the day he entered the strenious gravity chamber. He got back in his fighting stance then he spun three times and in those three spins he launched 9 kicks. He tried the aerial barrage again but didn't accomplish it that time either when suddenly he felt a burst of ki just rushing through his entire body. He put his hands out in front of him and looked at them. He went for the aerial barrage this time he accomplished 10 strikes.

This time he was determined to land it the second time. He started his regular aerial blast but after every kick he added a ki blast. When he was finished he nailed it but Raven got careless and he forget to count how many he did. The young warrior jumped up and started to spin then suddenly he kicked then shot an ki blast. He continued this until he got up to ten where he floated back down on his feet.

Raven walked into the chamber setting the gravity to 85x times normal and the scene shifted and blurred till Raven was in a small forest the blue sky loomed up above Raven flexed his power to his max. Raven flew at the trees smashing the trees in front of me the splintering of the bark as it flew out from his impacts Raven flipped over and landed on his feet again readying a fist for another blow until the earth began to tremble. Raven leapt as a stream of magma shot up. Raven dashed away as the magma flew into the air. Then another shot up as Raven weaved between the streams of magma. Then another flew up hitting him in the chest Raven was knocked backwards but quickly regained his composure and blasted the rising magma.

Raven got back to his feet readying for the next magma shot Raven leapt away just as another one shot out where Raven had just been. His gaze drifted to the spot where the magma had been. What happened here to make the magma so active. Raven flew into the air and saw a giant mountain range. Raven flew over to the mountains and landed Raven figured a good way to test his new strength would be to climb the highest mountain without the use of his tapping into his ki. Raven grabbed onto the ledge and began to climb up pushing himself up with his legs and his hands pulling me up as Raven climbed up. After several hours Raven reached a small ledge and Raven walked into a small cave and began
laying down against the wall. Raven closed his eyes and began to sleep. When Raven woke up Raven heard a small growling noise beside me. Raven stood up to be face to face with a giant black bear. It swung its massive paw at the teen only for the boy to parry weaving backwards.

The bear charged forward and knocked into the tuffle knocking both off the ledge. Raven watched as the bear sprang into a panic. Raven shook himself free but the bear continued to fall. Raven rushed down guliding smoothly grabbing the bear as Raven slowly began to descend towards the ground holding the bear up. It took up a great deal of his strength as Raven set it down on the ground. As it scurried into the forest Raven looked back at the mountain Raven was a great deal out of his way. Rave began climbing again it didn't take the teen as long as the first time. It took ten hours for me to reach the second ledge and the air was extremely thin causing his lungs to struggle to take in enough air. Raven began leaping around flipping over and landing on both hand and feet and repeating that process. Raven began to take a rest. Raven woke up again and began climbing up gritting the ledges in his hand and pushing himself up till Raven reached the top. His lungs were burning from the strain but Raven forced himself up even though his lungs felt like they would burst. Raven began firing a ki blast out into the horizon and then took to the air again. Raven looked down as the ki from his rise created a crater, then flew across, and dove down. Raven turned around and blasted a Dark flash into the sky.

The blast began weighing the tuffle down until Raven quickly barrel rolled aside and took back to the air. Raven continued pushing himself higher into the sky. Raven flew back onto the ledge raising one foot and kicked forward several times. Raven leapt over and punched out as his fist swung through the air creating arcs through it Raven landed on his feet again looking out. Raven looked down into the forest below Raven could see magma streams shooting into the air. Raven flew down shoring through the magma shots. Raven looked into the air and blasted a Raven blast into the sky. Raven began to focus on his health to replenish his ki that was expended. Raven kicked into the air knocking the magma streams away.

Raven landed in the center as Raven began concentrating on his ki raising it up to its max. His fists clenched drawing blood from his palm. Raven landed on one hand pushing himself up with one hand holding the other behind his back. Raven lifted himself onto his fingertips holding himself up with his fingers. Raven then tossed himself up doing a kick over his head so Raven landed on his feet Raven wrapped his legs around a tree branch holding himself up. Raven began doing crunches. The strain of hanging on with his feet began to get to the teen but Raven continued until Raven couldn't take it anymore. Raven leapt off the branch landing on his hands and feet and rushed forward. Raven began blasting his red ki into the air and then quickly landed on his feet. Raven looked forward seeing a magma stream shoot by him grazing his hair. Raven quickly moved out of the way and blasted back into the air to smell sulfur emanating from the air.

He finished up his gravity training, exhausted, covered in burns, bruises and cuts from falling and hitting himself and taking things above and beyond in order to master it all. He sank into the cool water of a nice bath after slipping his sweaty bandages off and just sat there and relaxed, letting the water work on his wounds and sore muscles as he drifted off to sleep.
