Gravity Pressure Training: 10,000 leagues under! 2

[Kattix Krashnos]

After a decent rest, Kattix stretched and went down a little bit further. Not too far of course but just enough to keep up with the difficulty of the training. Basic katas were performed at a moderate speed, punching, kicking, poses, all to exercise his skill under the weight of the pressure. Even the simplest motions became difficult...but that was the angle, if it were too easy there would be no gain from it all. Kattix stayed focus, centering his strength to push through the water as much as possible with each strike. His mind drifted off to think of his old home on Vegeta, that damned Frieza, and the loss of both parents when Vegeta blew up.

The mere memory of it all fueled him with rage and he found himself striking harder, and harder, ever since that day he transformed into a Super Saiyan, he hadn't been able to transform again. Maybe it was a one time thing? Perhaps a fluke, or even just a flicker of his power outreaching to him? Whatever the case was, he was determined to bring it out again. It all seemed to stem from the memory of his parents passing away, though lately he hasn't allowed himself to become that emotional. Kattix floated backwards and threw a series of rapid punches, kicks, and tail whips in variations of heights.

At this point his muscles were throbbing, and hour strait workout of katas could make a person sore. Kattix decided to lay back and take a nap for recovery, this way he would have plenty of strength for the serious workout. He slept undisturbed for a few hours, dreaming of his days back on Yardrat. In this dream he felt more at peace than he normally would be, then he woke up confused before he remembered what he was doing. A few hours had passed and his body was feeling better, not all the way restored but enough to not feel as sore.

His fists clenched and he gave off a pulse from his power level, then began to power up. His teeth clenched and the area around him began to rumble. It was an odd sensation because the water around him amplified the bass from the rumble. All of the sea creatures in the area fled or swam around in a panic for the most part. Kattix suddenly felt the water around his body pull off of his skin and separate away from his body slowly. Given a few more seconds the water forcefully created a spherical gap around Kattix and continued to spread. This was a method of weight lifting for the power level, to push away the water and hold it away as long as he could.

Soon the ten foot spread turned into twenty, followed by thirty and held. His body gave off a single surge of ki electricity which passed over his chest and faded away. The walls of water shook and rippled in every direction before closing in a few feet in struggle. Kattix dug deep within himself and pushed the water back out and held it again. Kattix held it steady for five minutes, then let it go allowing the water to crash back in and surround his body. He rested for five minutes then pushed it back out again this time holding it for ten minutes and resting for the same amount of time.

Each time he would push the hold time by five minutes and rest for the same amount of time. After holding it for an hour strait he felt exhausted from the inside out and could barely move at all. The only thing left to do was sleep longer for the time being and allow himself to rest up with the hold of the ocean's gravity around him. He smiled as day one's training was complete, thinking again how fortunate he was to not need to breathe air.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Kattix woke up on the second day, not that he was able to tell but he did. His body felt fully recovered and much stronger so there was only one thing left to do, move deeper down into the sub-depths. Kattix swam deeper into the dark void, feeling it's crushing pressure build but bared with it for the sake of his training. On the way down, something rather large swept by and swallowed him whole...this was convenient for him because Kattix was hungry anyway. He swung a brutal punch into the inside flesh of what he assumed to be a fish, it was too dark to tell, and knocked a massive chunk out of it's skull from the inside. He followed suit and fired a light blast of ki to fry a large mass of meat and ate his way out.

Lucky for him the fish didn't go far, when he climbed out the pressure was still the same. He flexed his power level and pushed the water away from his body creating a fifty foot radius of space around him and held it for an hour without difficulty. He let it in and pushed it away like he was lifting weights, pushing the water back and forth up to a set of two-hundred. He relaxed for a half hour to regain himself then began his endurance training. He fired off a large ki ball and re-directed it to collide with himself. He only took half damage because it was his own ki but it still proved to be effective.

He continued to blast himself over and over, putting more energy into each energy ball to effectively use all of his power level and rested for a few hours. When he awoke his body still felt sore but he recovered enough to keep training. Next, Kattix would work on strengthening his ki power. Kattix held his right hand out and fired a blast from his palm, pushing the water away with his blast. The water pushed away only slightly the first few times but eventually the water parted further from the sheer force of his energy. This exercise was quite exhausting but he wouldn't get stronger unless he pushed himself like he was doing.

Soon his blasts became wider, alternating left hand, right hand, and both hands, even his tail. He continued the blast exercise until he ran out of ki and closed his eyes. The pressure was squeezing his body tighter now that he was exhausted but he would eventually adjust to it. It took him a while to push passed the discomfort but he eventually fell asleep again to begin his recovery, day two was now complete.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Once again Kattix woke up to the dark void around him, he could hear less creatures in the surrounding area. It must have been from all of the commotion of his blast training yesterday. He flexed his muscles and felt the increase in his strength, he was fully recovered once more but still a little sore. It was nothing he couldn't push past to say the least. His high intelligence let him know that he wasn't ready to proceed deeper just yet, the current crushing pressure was well enough for now.

Now it was time to test his speed, flexing his power level Kattix would create a gap in the water only ten feet in radius. He released his force and began moving around at high speed punching and kicking the water all around to keep it at bay. He managed to manually hold the water off for thirty minutes strait before he began to get tired and the water collapsed around him. Kattix rested for an hour and tried it again, he at this time couldn't hold it off for more than a half hour but his speed was making progress. After a good rest he tried again and held the water off for forty minutes and relaxed again.

His muscles were throbbing at this point, that ever so familiar feel of burn under the skin. He decided to practice his kata formations while his body was sore just to push the limit of his physical development so he would have a stronger recovery. When the crushing pressure made it impossible to move, he would stop moving and rest for four hours. This was passing the day well and he wasn't hungry just yet, but he knew that he would be eventually with as much as he was working out.

When he awoke, he wasn't fully recovered just yet, but even through the near exhaustion Kattix could still push himself more this day. Kattix aimed his palm out and fired off a ball of ki, then flew through the water as fast as he could and caught it between both palms. He held the ball of ki for a moment then let it go to collide with his body. He gritted his teeth at the pain but didn't want to stop, so he did it again, and again, and again until he couldn't bare the endurance or stamina any longer. Now his third day of training was complete and would doze off into a sleep to gain a full recover for tomorrow.

[Kattix Krashnos]

When he awoke, he gave a good stretch and leaned his neck left and right to pop it. His speed training was next up again, wasting no time he would sit up and fire a ball of ki from each hand, one-two! Then flew passed them and stopped in front of each one. Left-right! he would slap each one away. His speed was much faster than before and the crushing pressure felt a little easier this time around. Kattix acknowledged the change but didn't stop to reflect on it, he had to keep going. One-two! Left-right! Kattix zoomed back and forth firing off ki balls and slapping them away, the sound of exploding ki echoing in the underwater distance.

He felt the drive within him, raging and urging him to become stronger. He wanted to become a nightmare by the time he was ready to rise up from the sub-depths of their ocean. He was curious to know if any of the other warriors of this planet could sense all of this commotion going on. It had been three days of this training and surely someone had to notice. But even if they did, he doubted that anyone would be able to come this far down into the ocean without drowning half way to Kattix's location. He wasn't tiring out, over the last few days his body was tuning and adjusting to stronger heights and still getting stronger.

Soon he began putting more power into his ki balls, becoming bigger and denser with energy. Still he continued to zoom back and forth firing them off and slapping them away to explode in the distance. He began firing them off harder in order to force himself to fly faster in order to reach the other side in time. His hands were on fire in a sense, he was fine with that because they would only callous and become stronger for defense in the long run. He began using his feet and tail to even it out, using clever styles of kicks and flipping tail slaps to parry the ki balls away.

Next, rather than just slapping them away, he would hold them in place for a moment then throw them upward. If there were someone out in the middle of the ocean, they would see ki balls flying out of the ocean and exploding in the sky with a blast radius of fifty feet. He was almost out of ki for the day and most of the day had been passed seeing as the sun was about to go down. Kattix pushed himself a little bit more and relaxed for a half hour before he went to sleep thinking about his mother. Day four's training had come to a halt and was now complete, resting up to begin a deeper dept of the sub-deep.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Kattix's Saiyan appetite demanded food, and down here it wouldn't take long. After about a half hour of searching Katiix found a large fish to eat, resting for an hour to prevent cramps. He found an area to use the restroom (as if the audience needed to know that) and went down deeper. The pressure as expected was much stronger than before, but he could bare with it in increments. Though he felt as if he were about to break, he didn't want to come this far just to give up on the matter. He just kept focus and thought of how proud his parents would be to see his strength and pushed on.

A good warm-up was in order, starting off with kata formations and attack strikes. One thing that made his style so unique was his grace and elegance in combat to match his strength. Though with the extreme pressure going on, he was moving really slow. He didn't think that extreme workouts would be done this day so he just stuck to basic motions and swam around until he managed to tire out. Once he was tired, Kattix rested for four hours as to regain a little strength to keep pushing on. Even with the four hour rest, his motions didn't increase speed but at least he could still keep moving.

A few times during the training Kattix had to stop in order to regain focus. With the extreme pressure, the water around him resisted even the slowest motions like pushing into a really thick rubber band but without the recoil. He didn't give up though because he knew that every motion would pay off. If he were on dry land with this kind of workout he was sure that he would be sweating a rain forest by now. His tail flicked in irritation but it came off as one sudden motion and his tail stopped in an upward position due to lack of strength to pull it back down with that little flick.

His training was broken down into subtle segments with frequent periods of rest in between. This pattern alone took most of the day because of how many naps he had to take. If he needed to breath air, his ribcage definitely would not have the strength to push out...surely he would have suffocated long by now. It was a good thing that he had a stead source of protein down here, or he wouldn't have any strength to train. Kattix moved slower the closer he came to exhaustion, like lifting that final set of weights and barely being able to make the last push without a spotter. For now he would sleep to end the day, curious to see he level of strength after his recovery.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Opening his eyes, Kattix felt slightly stronger from his recovery. But he had to see how much of an improvement was made against the slow of extreme pressure. He sat up and swam around, he could move slightly faster but even still extreme training was out of the question. He returned to basic kata formations and it was a little easier to move but he was still pretty slow. He threw various punches and kicks for an hour then practiced solely tail swipes to strengthen his prehensile muscles. He gritted his teeth as it became a struggle, the best thing he had learned down here was that when it became too tough just relax for a while and don't fight it.

He rested for a few hours and began swimming laps in a circle to gain a full body workout of all of his muscles. As simple as it sounded, each motion was accompanied by struggle, though he continued to push himself. A part of him wanted to go up to the surface to see the sun for a bit but in actuality, it was no different than sailing through the dark void of space. The only difference was that there were no stars and he was surrounded by water. His arms hung low in front of him, soon his head began to hang as well. He was losing focus and was becoming irritated.

Without a gravity training room the work was a little bit more manual than anything but it was just the same as a gravity room. Kattix aimed his hand down and fired off a ki ball below. Watching as it lit the way, he peered down to see how much farther until he would reach the bottom. The ki ball drifted for a while, although it lit the area, it took a second before it hit the bottom and exploded sending a disturbing pulse his direction. kattix still had a long way to go but that was good, that meant he still had multiple levels to train himself on.

Once rested up again, he continued to swim full stroke motions in a wide circle, not even bothering to count his laps because he couldn't see where he started of finished. For the most part he was just pushing his body and reading his own levels of exhaustion to tell when he had done enough. With a semi accurate count, he managed to do two-hundred laps before he couldn't move at all. Kattix rolled over onto his back and stared up at the dark void, thinking of what his father would look like today if he were still alive. Eventually he drifted to sleep and dreamed about Frieza. Day six was over and he was sound asleep with minimal discomfort.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Kattix awoke in a rage from the series of dreams he had, fists clenched tight his eyes snapped open and awoken to the sight of his own white aura flared and rippling. He moved his left arm a few times then rolled his shoulder twice. He was sore, but his quick recovery allowed him to move. Motion came much easier than two days ago at this level of depth, he even swam around at normal speed. His punches were much harder than before, the water rippled and pulsed with each thrown blow. He smiled at the feel of it and was ready to begin an extreme workout for the first time at this depth.

Both hands were aimed forward, his hands gave off a dim glow of a surge being a bolt of ki electricity. The bolt swam between his fingers before sinking into his palms and a small ball of energy formed in front of his hands. A frown crossed his face before releasing a massive wave of ki, then using Instant Transmission he blinked away and appeared in front of the wave a good distance away. His adrenalin pumped rapidly as he watched it approach him at high speed and held both palms forward waiting for it. In mere moments the wave of ki slammed into his palms and pushed him back a good fifty feet.

Kattix used his sense of flight to push into it, slowing down until he came to a stop. He held it there in place to see how long he could hold it, with the effect of crushing pressure and the ki wave pushing into him the task was pretty difficult. Kattix just closed his eyes with an expressionless face and held it there for a minute...then threw it upward. The blast soared up until it rammed through the surface of the water and exploded high up into the sky. The blast couldn't be seen by Kattix but he surely heard it even from way down there. It was like listening to an exploding volcano on tv with the volume all the way up....but the shock wave sent a series of disturbances through the water all the way down to where Kattix was.

The power backed into that blast took a chunk out of his power level but he managed to pull it off three more times before he was flat exhausted. The pressure of the water around him was just too great and was using up a lot of his stamina just to remain conscious to be honest with himself. He left himself with just enough energy to find something to eat and just enough to defend himself with if he were attacked by anything down there. He spent the rest of his time eating and went to sleep. Day seven was now over and his body ached for sleep, at this point he didn't even have to try...he just clocked out.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Kattix snapped awake and sat up, this time he didn't dream but it wasn't like he was counting on having one. His hands felt tougher and more calloused from yesterday's training...either that or sore it was hard to tell. When he moved his arms he was moving very slow from the pain, all those days of training must have overworked his muscles. Today would have to be a day for physical relaxation but in the meantime he would train mentally to keep the pace going. Kattix closed his eyes and began to focus his energy, one had to know themselves in order to perform at optimum capacity.

A dim white glow surrounded his body, pushing ki through his blood, muscles, bone, and his mind to reverberate the energy off of his spiritual third eye. He could feel the cold water all around him, soothing his sore body in all directions. He focused on the cooling sensation to relax the pain out of his muscles. Slow formations in his kata were performed, soft and elegant was once again the key. In his mind he wasn't surrounded by darkness of the sea void, but rather floating in the sky above the clouds.

To resist the pressure is to think beyond the pressure around him, fluid motions to bypass the resistance. His eyes snapped open and he could see his hands due t the fact that they were surrounded by glowing white energy from his aura. He spread his fingers then switched hand into a snapping punch, the water was pushed away by the momentum and the force carried on for twenty feet. Kattix shifted his arms up, over, and to his left side sending a flat kick in the same fashion. The water parted and carried the momentum twenty feet in front of his foot. Without a doubt, his strength had increased a tremendous amount since he started his training seven days ago, he was curious to test it on something physical but that wouldn't come until after his underwater training was complete.

Kattix didn't plan to surface for another seven days, only then would he go to test his strength on someone. Just the thought of it made his heart pump with anticipation, he continued slow motions and snapping attacks to tone his strength with segmental actions. This exercise allowed him to keep training but remain relaxed enough to recover. Something came to his attention soon enough, he could sense all of the creatures around him, not like before when he could just hear them making disturbances in the water, but their ki signatures...as small as they were...lit up and outlines them visually.

His time down here in the darkness must have opened up a new sense for him. There were many creatures of many shapes and sizes swimming around and going about their business. He could see their detail perfectly, ugly things some of them were, but he didn't seem to care about that. Kattix smirked as he looked at a rather large one, thinking to himself that he planned to eat that one later. Suddenly he took notice of something that seemed to stand out in his eyes almost right away. At a certain distance all around, he couldn't see the fish anymore, he knew for a fact that he could see much farther than that with ease. If he had to place a distance on where they disappeared, it had to be at least one-hundred feet in radius around him.

The only thing he could think was that his body must have projected an energy signature that allows him to see things in perfect dark, maybe a darkness of his own. That would explain why they would be there then suddenly not being able to see them anymore. It was a dividing margin between the darkness he was projecting and the natural darkness of the sea. Closer glance brought to his attention that the fish in range of him were scrambling around in a panic, as if they could sense someone but all around them. It must have been because of the energy surrounding them in that area, they could feel Kattix but didn't know where he was or what direction to run.

Technique learned: Naitokage Denpatanchiki (Nightshade Radar): Kattix projects a 100ft sphere of perfect darkness all around him. In that darkness Kattix can see everything inside of it but his enemies cannot see anything but pure darkness. In this zone he cannot be located by sensing his ki because his ki is surrounding them so densely that it scrambles his exact location. Enemies caught inside this technique must flee from the darkness zone to recover their sight and senses.

[Kattix Krashnos]

After a day of relaxation, his sleep recovery brought his body to a suitable level enough to train hard. The question in his mind was if he would rather perform a hard training, or go down deeper to increase the pressure of his surroundings. Kattix gave it some serious thought before he decided a hard training would be best for now. That meant that he would need another day of recovery before he would be able to proceed down any further in order to withstand the crushing pressure to the slightest tolerance. After all, he was there to get stronger through the gravity pressure, not kill himself.

Slow and easy would have to be the course for now and he was fine with that at the moment. Kattix too about a half and hour to stretch his body for a good warm up, by the time he was ready he felt a little more flexible and less stiff from the soreness of days in training. Kattix turned over onto his back and began doing sit-ups, not stopping until he reached one-thousand. With each crunching motion, he would hold the crunch every five to maximize the effectiveness of the build and tone. When he reached his goal, Kattix relaxed his body and laid still for a half hour then went again for another thousand.

Building and toning the abdomen was crucial for stamina and physical reaction. Next he would stand himself up and twist from side to side to loosen up the burning sensation. Next up would be full length squats, every time he would squat down he would swish his tail side to side ten times. He performed five-hundred squats and stretched each leg out when he was finished, pulling each leg up into an axe-split position while holding the feet with both hands to optimize the stretch. Kattix was very flexible, it helped that he started doing splits and stretches when he was much younger, keeping up with it ensures that you don't lose the stretch.

Next, Kattix would hold his arms out strait to his sides and move his hands in small circles forward one-thousand times, then reverse it the same count. After a short rest he would do the same again but with wide circles forward and back. This exercise works the entire shoulder and middle back to increase the punching capacity in strength. When he was finished, he would use his new technique, Nightshade Radar, to find something to eat and drifted off to sleep after he was full.

[Kattix Krashnos]

When Kattix awoke the next day, he flexed his muscles to see how mobile he would be that day. It was a little rough but manageable, today he would work on his ki. He formed a ki ball in his left palm, then absorbed it back into his body and transferred it into his right hand...then crushed it into a spread of white sparkles. Control, this was the focus of this day's training. Kattix turned and fired off a small ki ball, then redirected it to head back in his direction. Kattic clenched his fist and punched it to disperse the energy. He did it again but this time making it bigger, when it came back he switched fists and slammed into it to disperse it once more.

With each time he fired off a ki ball he would make it bigger, then fire two, then make them bigger, then fire three. The pattern continued between making the energy balls bigger and increasing the numbers in order to practice attacking multiple targets, even switching it up by controlling what direction they were coming from. The next part of this training exercise was to absorb the ki back into his body once he came into contact with it rather than punching it. At first this was difficult and the first forty tries ended up with the ki exploding against his body.

Even still, Kattix continued until he learned to take the energy back into his body at a faster rate. But the more exhausted he became, the more difficult it was to make the timing correctly. A few times he had to use Instant Transmission to cheat his timing but after a while he stopped doing it to increase the difficulty for himself. When he sensed that he was almost out of energy, he would use ki waves instead of ki balls to push himself that extra mile. He would send off a ki wave and redirect it above himself, holding it off and absorbing it as fast as he could to prevent it from pushing himself deeper into the pressure increase below him.

Soon enough he ran out of energy, training this way all day would surely give him the needed workout. Leaving himself just enough energy to defend himself with, Kattix laid back with a smile and listened to the sound of the surrounding ocean deep. He allowed himself to drift off into a deep sleep and dreamed of having dinner with his mother. Though it was kind of depressing, he was still happy to see her even if it were only in his dreams.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Opening his eyes, Kattix rubbed his chest to gain a feel of himself. He could feel the muscle increase and when he focused he could feel that his energy had increased after his sleep recovery. He felt his arms, legs, back, stomach, they had all increased in mass as well strength from the feel of it. He was now ready for the next level of pressure and flew down deeper using his sense of flight. Kattix went much farther down, feeling the crushing pressure squeeze his body tightly, although he could fly through it, moving his limbs was nearly impossible. He stopped flying and tried to lift his arms. It took him almost a minute to lift his arm all the way up, this was perfect.

He balled his fist and tried to throw a punch, it was no good, he couldn't move his body fast enough to perform an action of strength like that. Like before, he would have to start off with simple motions until he could build his strength enough to move around. Kattix limited his actions to a few inches at a time, moving his full body all at once he would spread out and close in. Although he wasn't very fast, he still gained a brutal workout from all of this. To make it easier for himself, kattix talked to himself within his mind to talk himself through each action performed. In, out, up, down, even opening and closing his fingers. He had to make sure he used every muscle as much as possible before he exhausted though at this rate he was getting close.

The time it took to make one full action seemed to be getting longer and longer, it was like watching a snail cross the road. Lucky for him there were no larger creatures around to pick him off while he was in such a slow state of being. He curled his arms and legs, then uncurled them all the same. He had to stop a few times to regain his strength as much as he could, his muscles from the feel of struggle felt like they wanted to pop. It was quite evident that Kattix had reached his limit on how far down he could go without hurting or even worse...killing himself. Though discovery of limitation was not enough to get him to give up, every second in this hellish training was going to pay off when he surfaced back up.

His teeth clenched in what was clear to be anger of it all, he knew what he wanted to do and it all seemed so simple, yet his physical restrictions seemed to prove otherwise. He struggled to move more, he had to keep going, but it seemed that he was already maxed out for the day. He relaxed, and when he did it was not comfortable at all. Kattix forced himself into a meditative state to push passed the discomfort in order to get to sleep. It seemed like a few hours passed by before he was relaxed enough to fall asleep. But at least he made it through today's gravity pressure training without killing himself.

[Kattix Krashnos]

When Kattix awoke it was still difficult to move, but he did have the strength to move around slightly faster. He attempted to push his limits by desperately trying to punch and kick as hard as he could...though it was like moving through a pool of thick syrup. His teeth gritted in struggle but he kept at it. Each motion almost seemed like a struggle for his life and he was overdue for a meal to keep up with his energy. He decided it was best to hold off training until he ate something, using Instant Transmission he blinked up higher where the pressure was less.

He searched around for a larger fish to eat and killed it off, not even bothering to cook it this time he ate it's remains until he was full and let the food settle for a while. When he was ready, Kattix flew back down to where he was before and resumed his training. Physical motion to gain a feel for the pressure was the angle this time around. Rather than sticking to slow motions, he pushed himself, driving harder, and harder to overpower the extreme pressure all around his body. Punches and kicks were still slow but now that he had eaten something he at least had the energy to keep up with the struggle.

One attack at a time, he punched left and right, elbowing, and kneeing into the open water. When he threw a knee blow, he felt all of his muscles constrict brutally, not because he was flexing that hard, but because the pressure was putting a lot of force on his tendons and muscles alike. He pretended he was kneeing a wall, just so his mind would have a general picture on how much pressure he needed in each strike to do crucial damage. After a few hours passed by he was starting to speed up due to the adjusting period, though even though he was getting more and more used to it, it proved to be a challenge to keep at it.

Hours passed by and he was still keeping in motion, though he could feel that he was drawing closer to the point of exhaustion. A smile crossed his face as he though of how close his training was coming to completion as a whole. In three more days, he would be ready to surface...though a relaxation period would be wise to complete his full development. There were a few power levels that he had sensed long before that he was eager to try out for himself, though his time down here in the sub-deep of the ocean was rather calming and he couldn't tell if he was getting closer to his peaceful side, or if he still desired the path of evil which lurked deeply within his heart.

[Kattix Krashnos]

Once again he awoke from his recovery slumber, movement came with much more ease and his strength amazed him. His palm thrust forward and released a high powered blast without charging it up first, using his sense of flight, Kattix rushed passed it and sent a brutal kick into the center of it's attack point. The impact sounded off hard with a thundering echo and was partly dispersed but held together enough to be recoiled and redirected off at an angle before exploding into the distance with a very bright flash release.

Within a few hours, Kattix was flying around at high speed, punching, kicking, and flipping around as if he were taking on multiple opponents. His health was amazing as so was his strength and speed, it had become sharply tuned and honed but he had to stay focused because the pressure around him wasn't completely disregarded by his new-found ability. He was just keeping sharp to prevent the pressure from overcoming his movements. He lined his body with an offensive brand of ki and threw brutal strikes into the water. The sheer force and density of his ki caused the water around his body to heat up to a boil, spreading off into a beautiful mist.

He flexed and his body gave off a raw pulse of power, immediately after he began throwing a rapid series of punches and kicks, blurring around in a circle with the visualization that he was breaking apart a thick steel bar. The mental focus was good, smooth, and driving for him to keep up pace. Whenever he had to stop he would only pause for brief seconds at a time before he continued his kata. He passed most of the day in a solid, fluid training session, his stamina over time had increased enough to allow him to continue on without getting tired. He loved it, the power he possessed was far greater than when he had first arrived, and it had only been a week.

When it came time for him to rest, he rolled over and finished off the rest of his stamina by doing crunches while floating on his back in place. He counted off steadily in his head, not stopping until he reached two-thousand. That was much more of a number than he was able to do before, when he stopped he figured he would be exhausted but he wasn't done just yet, he tired himself off by doing another thousand crunches and laid back as he felt a full body burn. The pressure was still squeezing him tightly and that was a good thing. That meant that he could still gain a workout from this level and he planned to take advantage of that as much as possible.

He drifted off to sleep and dreamed of soaring through Earth's skies, oddly he saw a tower in the distance, and odd place for a tower to be seeing that it wasn't standing on anything at all. Kattix flew toward the tower in his dream but no matter how fast he flew, it seemed to move away from him. Kattix continued on with a series of dreams and this tower was always there to taunt him, curious...what does it all mean?

[Kattix Krashnos]

Kattix awoke with a deepened frown upon his face, head hanging low he slowly floated his position upright and leaned his neck from left to right. He was tired of those stupid dreams about the tower and was annoyed at it all as a whole. Stretching his arms out wide, he waited for his body to wake up fully then let out a thundering roar which was accompanied by a massive power output. Water all around him stretched out and pushed away up to one-thousand feet around him. His eyes took to bright red glow, manifesting his inner anger and hatred as his body gave off pulses of energy that passed off as wind at gale force pressure.

Bolts of ki electricity surged around his body every ten seconds as he held the water at bay. He could hear the titanic rumble from the area all around him, quaking violently in Kattix's wake. The very edge of his extending force caused the water's edge to boil heavily in heat of his ki. He thirsted for blood at this point, the push off exercise came at much more ease this time around, he didn't even have to struggle to keep it at bay. Suddenly his hair started to lift up and began flashing gold, he felt it near, he wanted it, needed it, then as soon as he felt it's warm embrace again his body shut down and his hair dulled out into it's original color of black.

It seemed that his body didn't have the strength to make the full transformation but his Icer blood allowed him to know which direction to move in order to achieve it. Kattix was trying to achieve power that his body couldn't support nor did he have. He would have to keep training to raise his power enough to push himself over that gap...the door was open he just couldn't step through just yet. His left eye twitched in anger as his hold on the water was released, it all came crashing back in. His body had wasted all of it's energy trying to achieve his first transformation, this was humiliating because other Icer's could change at will. It must have been because he was half blood so a little more manual work was needed.

It took a moment for his body's energy to put itself back in order, pushing his body to transform without the proper energy source only caused it to short out for a moment. It was nature's way of saying you're not ready, but it was hard because he had tasted the power before back on Yardrat and he wanted to control it. He could feel the monster dwelling within him, it was begging for release and Kattix wanted badly to let it out. No matter, he was strong now, the beast within would have to wait. He practiced holding the water off and pressing it around like weights until he tired out, then drifted off to sleep.

This was it, the final day of his gravity pressure training! His eyes snapped open and he felt great, Kattix used his flight to zoom around long distances...quite used to the pressure now. He summed up all of his skills he had been training with over the last two weeks. He threw out various balls of ki, heading them off and kicking them up into the sky to explode with brutal force. He turned and threw off a massive ki wave, much larger than before and used Instant Transmission to appear in front of it. He lined his arm with rippling, spiking ki, then threw a very audible impacting punch into it. The sheer impact of the blow caused the wave to turn inside out before dispersing into a backward explosion.

He gave off an evil grin, moving from side to side punching and kicking the open water creating large pulses of water that parted away from his strikes. He had become maddened with excitement from his new found power, firing off rapid blasts then using sheer speed alone to appear in front of each one and slapping them away. The next time around he fired off much larger blasts and headed them off to absorb them back into his body through his palms. His aura snapped open and rippled from his feet all the way up to the tip of his head, then expanded to represent his new power output. He stared at his hands glowing with primal force, lighting the area up around his body.

the light from his body lit up the area to a sight of millions of sea creatures scrambling around, coral reefs, and seaweed. It was a beautiful sight in his eyes and it even made him smile...before he started making pot shots at every target he could see. Kattix fired thin beams of energy at the fish around him, bursting them into splatters of blood puddles, some to ash under the water. The destruction felt so great, firing down below and raising a multitude of explosions to light up the area. By now the fish were shitting bricks at all the chaos, dirt and rocks being knocked around by the unnatural force caused by Kattix.

Kattix stopped and looked up at the pure void of darkness and crossed his arms over his chest. His power level flexed once more and slowly the water began to part into a towering funnel all around his body. The funnel continued to drift upward until he broke through the surface of water above. It took a few moments but it allowed air to come down the tube of water along with a dim source of light. Kattix frowned and with a jolt of pure speed he flew up that created tunnel of water and appeared as a flashing blink high above the sea. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing hard, Kattix took in a deep breath of air just for the hell of change. It was the first breath of air he had taken in two weeks.

His body felt very light after spending two weeks in the sub-deep of the ocean, surrounded by twenty levels of crushing gravity pressure. He moved his arms around, even let his tail swish around for a moment. His chin lifted up with a lean of his head to the left as if his neck had no bones. He could sense the power levels of three individuals a great distance away. One was vastly stronger than the other two which seemed to be nearly even with each other. The stronger one? Well Kattix was slightly stronger than that person. Now it was time to drop in for a little fun.
