As any other regular day at Final heaven, the young Okran was training near the dojo, while Chi-Chi was not there to teach the young one about more techniques and ways of fighting. Although so far, the only training he received was that of balancing books on his head. The boy was a little disappointed at the same time was feeling too underestimated by his teacher. Maybe it was not that way, but as she said once, kid these days tried to fly before they could walk. The child did not want to stand down and put books on his head for balance trainings. His patience was very short, and his mood energetic, as any other child, an hyperactive of full time. Be quiet and still, meditate, think about breathing. All those things that the child has passed by while he rathers ran, fought and used to carry rocks 20 times his own size in the wastelands of the planet Vegeta . In the garden of the dojo, the young boy hoped his personal training would give results to pass all these trivialities that his master imposed upon him. The child imitated those learned moves of soldiers, recruits and teachers of Final heaven. He have been spying on them for a while to learn how to master different classes of martial arts, postures and moves, since all he knew was frontal attacks, pure brutality and 0% strategy. While training on his own, his senses are sharpened and managed to hear sounds coming from the dojo, or perhaps closest around that area. '' Maybe it was just another one of those recruits who is lost out there, it happens very often ''. The child relaxed and returned to his training ignoring the steps that he was listening nearby. ''19 .997 ... 19,998 ... 19,999 ... 20,000 !! Ahhh .... my stomach !! Ugh ... '' After making so many crunches and and before that the same amount of push-ups with a huge rock on his body as weight as well as his own weight training clothes seemed that the child was burning from inside. One might even say that he would skip a tear from his eyes in pain. '' Ok ... Ok is the last time I do it .... next time will be only 5,000 ... '' The boy got up from the floor after his warming and continued kicking and punching the air, copying those learned moves while spying the Final heaven army. [WC] : 411 |

Anju sighed softly as she walked through the military base of Final Heaven, nodding her head to every cadet that seemed to pass her by, and even ensuring they got to the right areas when they were lost. All and all, the peach haired princess was quite content today, though she had yet to really get to training herself. Aside from running a drill or two for a few cadets early this morning, she had yet to really do much for herself. Sure, she had run the course herself, but the course was beginning to become easier and easier for her to run everytime she did so. If it wasn't her father providing the example for how that course was run, it was usually his best soldiers,her being one of them. She had lost track of how many times she'd officially run the course within her time of being a General. But by now, it had already become second nature to her. She could practically auto-pilot the course. Of course, that would mean that the course would get changed at some point, knowing how her father was. The teen rolled her eyes at the thought. {If it's still challenging for the recruits it should just stay the same for now. He can challenge me later with a course built for me. ....Then again, knowing how my dad is, he's probably using me as a sort of gauge point. If the course isn't challenging for me after....oh I dunno....ten times of running it? fifteen? Then it would probably be best to change it. But not until they can run the course that many times. Much less, beat it within a shorter amount of time each time. } She nodded once to herself. {This is something I'll have to address to him sometime. } She grinned to herself as she began to pass by her mother's dojo, glancing at it. It had been quite some time since she had trained with her mother. And the training she did receive had helped her greatly. It was tough at first, but what she had given her routine wise wasn't too bad. {Knowing mom though, she's probably over loaded with students right now....I'd hate to give her more to worry about. } She thought to herself. {Still, maybe if I peak in....? Get a gauge as to how much she's dealing with? Then I could go from there as to whether to ask her for training or not!} She grinned to herself, walking up and into the dojo then as she threw the door open, about to ask for her before realizing the dojo it's self as empty. ".....Oh....hm...." She mumbled to herself, going to turn and head back out, until her ears caught the sounds of what almost sounded like someone training outside. {.....Well maybe she's out in the garden?} The peach haired princess curiously wandered outside, peaking her head around the corner. Her curious gaze was set instead on a young boy, training by himself in her mother's garden. {....Hm...? Must be one of mom's students if he's here.} She thought to herself, watching the child count as he was doing crunches. The child was quite powerful and obviously used to a routine of vigorious training, from the sounds of it. She continued to watch him train, despite the fact that it was quite disrespectful of her. 565 Words 3240 Characters |

Slamming the door aggressively, he pressed his hand alongside his girl's face before she could leave the office where he called her in for official business. His pressed himself into her tiny frame to keep her from moving. His official business was reminding her who the fuck she belonged to. His lips devouring hers before she could complain about shit that didn't matter. He knew all about her needing to go train a student. Having Anju distracted with errands and a course run he had her doing repeatedly because he could, he . He be changing it once he felt like it. The drills that mattered were the ones where freaks had to survive and get through it. Knowing his offspring, she'd get through it. She'd complain, but he'd put her back in the trash if she tried pulling that daddy's girl shit on him. His offspring had what it took to be at the top, but there were no free rides. It was all about earning it.![]() What got him in the mood was thinking about what his girl said to him just before he began boot camp that morning. His wife calling him General Gatz earlier was stuck in his mind and he was in need of showing her how true it was. Smirking down at her devilishly, he traced his thumb along her cheek bone watching her obsessively. ![]() "The hell do you think you're going? Nowhere that's where. You will be here with me and that's final. Generals orders. The other freaks you got to train can wait. You're mine and if anybody got a fucking problem with that, I'll give them a talking too...with my fists." His chest rumbling with a growl and shaking against her curved figure reminding her who the boss was. Running his hand along her side, he lifted her skirt to her upper thigh to get her going. He liked trolling her too knowing she hated being reminded, but he didn't care finding it fucking funny. WC: 354 Edited by Gatz, Apr 22 2015, 10:41 PM.

Ooc: (I hope you don't mind us joining.)![]() It was a mistake she regretted. She should have gone to her dojo instead, but of course she respectfully followed the "General's" order to meet him at his office. When she entered, she was met with a shocker. She saw the expression on his face and in his eyes. Since she knew him well, she immediately made her escape to the door before he could do what he had in that troublemaker's mind of his. She was too late. Before she could leave, the door was slammed, and she gasped in annoyance at what he did. Her back rested along the door that was the only escape she had. Her head turned when her husband rested his arm alongside her. Then, without warning, she was kissed. Her hands rose into the air as a reaction to the rugged passion he decided to display moments before she needed to be at the dojo. His timing was terrible. With a firm tone, she expressed her dislike for his sense of timing. "The hell do you think you're going? Nowhere that's where. You will be here with me and that's final. Generals orders. The other freaks you got to train can wait. You're mine and if anybody got a fucking problem with that, I'll give them a talking too...with my fists. "My word Gatz! What has got into you? This is no time for this! I have to train my nephew. He is waiting for me you know." She told him before he kissed her lips once more. She grumbled when he kissed her because even though she was irritated she secretly enjoyed the passion. The private affection warmed her heart and almost caused her to blush. It was hard to resist, yet she managed. ![]() Gatz told her what he would do if someone tried to take her away from him. She was reminded of another reason she came to the office, and it was not originally because he ordered her too. She had a genuine concern. While she cared not what others thought of her, the initial idea was her to get an outside opinion and one she trusted. A master always needed improvement. She slapped his hand that tried to lift her skirt. Then her hands rest along against his shoulders to stop his advances. Her expression changed to a more bothered one because she wanted to know the truth. What if she had trained her students wrongly? She had experience from training Goten who is a formidable fighter in his own right, yet was that enough experience to train others? The question lingered in her mind, and her confidence was strong enough to handle the truth. "Gatz do you think my training is boring?" She asked him in seriousness and abruptly. Her pure eyed gazed rested on him. Since they were alone, she wanted his honest answer. He was the one man who would give her one. "I always notice my students watch that boot camp of yours. They think you are cool. I mean they complain about how bad it is, but generally they think you are the coolest guy on the planet." She mentioned what cadets often told her or her students that traveled to her dojo. While they did train with her because she was a knowledgeable master, she never received compliments "I am cool aren't I? I know I am cool." She tried to convince herself that she was indeed cool.

( '' Ok ... It seems like Chi-Chi is late for the very first time, hmmm i wonder if i could punish her as she does with me, wanting to make me read all those books ... '' ) Okran though to himself while training. Suddenly He stopped his stolen martial art training and stood completly still and took a deep breath. For a moment it looked like the kid was going to take a rest and stop for a break while stretching all his muscles. ![]() The young purebled saiyan now stood steady , clenching his hands into fists and beginning to develop an astral aura surrounding him which begins from white transparent color to golden and so on growing while the kid was stepping into all his transformations until reaching his super saiyan 2 transformation. He didnt want to destroy that garden, someone must had taken care of it careful and almost obsessively, to make it look so perfect. He rose up in the air , flying up t a distance of 150 feet on the air, carefull to keep his distance from that garden and the dojo. Okran pulled out his favorite technique as he charged both hands with shining sphere which 50 other spheres were shooted from them, making it 100 Ki spheres surrounding the kid. The trick was using his speed and guard to avoid or deflect those Ki spheres that were trying to explode on him. He moved his fingers as 25 of those spheres begins to move and charges towrds the kid as He easily dodges them, not moving from his position, shifting his head to the side to avoid some of those spheres to hit his face. It was time to get the difficulty level higher as the 100 spheres were involved into that restless chase , as the kid begun to develop his full speed at that rathe his movements were almost invisible to the ordinary eyes, while those sphere were doing a messful show up in the sky while keeping the kid trapped in a radius of about 15 meters. The spheres went front and backwards trying to impact the kid , moving all at different timing, until they start to get their timing one with another, making it harder to avoid or dodge. Now the situacion got delicated as the kid knew it was an awful idea to put himself between all those Ki sphere. He was not going to die, although he knew it was going to hurt. He develop another technique to avoid that extreme level, using his zanzoken to move even faster, leaving rails of his path with every fake image. This time the whole pack of 100 sphere moved forth while surrounding the kid as there was no space to maneuver or a clear space to escape. The kid protected his head and chest, crossing his arm and flexing his leg , curling up into a ball as all those spheres finally hit their target, beginning to explode and pull out a show of light and explostions in the air. Once all of them had accomplish their commitment, the only thing left in the sky was that smoke screen. A few seconds later the kid fade away all that smoke clouds away, while charging his Ki, and pushing his power level to break it's limits. His brows begun to fade and his whole face was changing, his hair was getting even longer than it was, and those flashing lightnings on his aura got larger, like thunders as the kid press his teeth tightly as vains full of blood shows on his temple and body, forcing his power out, until those changing details dissapear , brining him back to normal, and after using all that power, the kid was completly empty, as he went back to his normal state and went back down to the ground, and fall on his knee and hands, while having problems to breath heavily. The kid fists the ground , punching the floor. '' Ahh....Ahhh.. Argh...Damn it...Im never going to make it this way...'' The kid was commited to push his limits without thinking in consequences. He rolls around and fell completly on the ground face up, looking up to the sky and those clouds with weirds shapes. The kid rested down for a moment , taking a break and placing his arm on his forehead to cover his eyes from the sun. '' Ima wait until aunty Chi-Chi comes back...and as a punish for making me wait , ima ask her to train me with some real fighting....That should work to push my limits and finally reach a whole new level... '' [WC] : 781 [TWC] : 1192 Edited by Okran, Apr 23 2015, 12:10 AM.

Anju continued to watch the mysterious boy from the safety of the Dojo, her curiousity keeping her still, as she stood there, her face being the only thing to peak out from behind the doorway. {Huh....he's just....standing still now. I shouldn't interrupt him yet.} She thought to herself, figuring the child deserved a break after all the training he was doing. She continued watching curiously, even as the child rose up into the air. The peachy haired princess didn't let him out of her sight as she stepped out from behind the doorway, until she was able to see him again. She wasn't quite sure if he would be able to see her, but at this moment, she cared not. She looked up at him with a small smile, she had to admit, the kid had some moves. With her hands on her hips, she continued to watch as the child transformed, his hair turning blonde suddenly. She tilted her head a bit, her smile fading then as she watched the child pull out some kind of crazy Ki trickery, her large innocent gaze centered on him as he used the technique to practice dodging. Her eyes widened slightly as her grin returned. {Well would you look at that. That's pretty crafty.} She thought silently to herself. Her arms crossed across her chest as she watched the kid with amusement glittering in her eyes. The Ki Spheres seemed to be gaining speed as they tried desperately to hit the kid but to no avail, as he sped up. {Dang....if a child can be this good, I better start stepping my game up.} She thought to herself. Until finally, the kid was hit by not one, by all of the ki spheres present. She turned her eyes away from the sight, mostly due to the light show that was caused. She lifted her hand to block out most of the light and once it faded away, she watched as the child seemed to struggle. Perhaps he was hurt? His hair was beginning to grow. {What the heck is he doing?} She thought to herself as she watched, her eyes bright with concern now until the child fell back to the ground, on his hands and knees. Grumbling about something, she tilted her head as she listened. The kid had yet to notice her, as he flopped onto his back, mentioning something about her mother and that she was his....aunt? The teen blinked in surprise, and before she could stop herself, her mouth was already running wild. "Aunty Chi-Chi?" She asked, her voice loud enough for the kid to notice. "I wasn't aware my mother had a brother, or siblings or any kind. Unless you're from her ex husband's side of the family. She sputtered out as she stepped out of the shadows. "Relax kid, I'm not here to hurt you." She said, a soft smile gracing her features as her eyes softened. "If my mother is your aunt, then that would make us cousins." She said, grinning as she wandered closer to him. "My name's Anju. You've got some really cool moves lil guy!" 521 Words 2920 Characters Running Total 1086 Words 6160 Characters |

Hungering for his girl wanting her to ache for him, he pressed her firmer into the door so she couldn't get away. She got to complaining like he knew she would. None it mattered though because in a matter of seconds he'd make her feel so good she wouldn't know what was happening. Lowering his lips to her neck, he kissed the territorial hickie he gave her to warn fucks that she was his. He nibbled on her neck breathing and growling along with it. His hand was halfway up her skirt when she slapped it away. Pulling back a bit, he heard her question if she was boring. "Someone called my girl boring? Who the fuck would dare? Gotta start regulating. Who dun it? Let me at um so I can snap their neck." He smirked devilishly and took a hand full of her breast while telling her what he'd do to the freak after he was done taking what was his. His lips hungrily savoring her lips like a piece of chicken. It was hard to stop what he was doing, but he did when she started pointing out how bitch freaks thought he was cool and how she thought she was cool too. Looking down at her, he was having trouble making sense of what she was going on about, but she was fucking adorable doing it. What she was doing was causing him to lose it. Trying to be the gentleman he was, he answered her question. "I don't give a fuck if those freaks think I am cool, but I got an idea why they want to be like me. Who the fuck wouldn't want to be me? I'm the ultimate beast and they know I got something they can't have. " He was eying her devilishly when he said it too. "Don't know what I'm talking about. Go look in a mirror. I own the sexiest female,got the perfect offsprings since we got two being a pain in my ass when I am trying to bang my female, and I am at the top calling shots. " Knowing how she was naive and not up to date with terms, he didn't think anything of it by being blunt with the banging term. He knew she wouldn't know what the hell he was referring too. Seeing her still not convinced, he would demonstrate. "Don't believe. Just watch." He pulled back from his wife and turned to the window. "You fucks!" He yelled out the window to the cadets that were doing push ups. They got up looking at one another in fear. They got to pointing to themselves like they were "Ya you! Get your asses in here." Watching the cadets run like dogs with their legs between their legs, he waited for them to come in. They were in fast because they knew the General didn't like waiting. They were smart for stupid. "At your service General!" The three cadets saluted Gatz. Gatz skipped the small talk and the formalities. "I called your pathetic faces in here for . I want you to tell your Secretary of War what you think about her. I'm giving you one chance to tell her what is on your mind." He folded his arms expecting them to listen to his order without questioning it. The cadets knowing the rules that the General laid out were nervous about . They were thinking it was a trap and so none of them answered like they were supposed to. The Android Terror hated disobedient cowards. "That is a fucking order." He repeated commanded in a booming voice. WC: 649 TWC: 1,003 |

Tenderly, her hands rest along her husband's broad chest. Her back lined against the wall. For the moment, she was trapped until Gatz took what she said seriously. The answer to her question was not what she expected. He inflated his ego more. She narrowed her eyes momentarily because this was not about him. He already had an ego the size of the Universe. She imagined it could not get bigger. There was a part of her that believed she was call, but at the same time, why were her students constantly curious about her husband. He stopped his affectionate advanced after he nipped her neck in the area where he left his mark on her. She winced with the ache to give in to his advances, but she could not. "Stop it you." Then forcefully pushed him to get some separation. When he pulled away, she gazed up at him with need to know the truth. He responded to her, but with an answer that was filled with metaphors. What she gathered from what Gatz said was that the cadets though he was cool because he had her. He did not say those words directly, but she understood "Banging? Do our daughters think you are hurting me? I hope not. I don't want them to believe that their father is abusive. I will talk to them when I am done with my training session today." She questioned what Gatz said when he reasoned to her why the cadets thought he was cool. He used a term called banging. Her head shook because she did not get it, but she thanked him for his answer regardless. "Thank you Gatz. I do need to go. My student is waiting for me." She told him truthfully. While she did want to spend more time with him, she knew that Okran required more training. The books had begun to bore him. What she planned for the day was to up his training with a harder, more technical type of training that would get him disciplined. He had the power, but in her mind he lacked the discipline to control it. "Don't believe. Just watch." "No, I believe you." She answered when he questioned whether she believed him or not. Why would he lie? {Oh great here we go!} She thought to herself because she predicted what Gatz had planned would not end well. "I'm fine Gatz. You don't need to do that." The cadets were forced to enter into the building. Then, as her husband often did, he put them on the spot and forced them to answer a question they were not allowed to dwell on. It was the General's rules after all. The General did not see how she pinched the bridge of her nose in embarrassment when he forced them to express what they thought of her. She shook their head no at them to keep them silent. When Gatz demanded a response, she issued a request to ease the cadets' fears. ![]() "You have to promise not to hurt them General." Since they were in the presence of the cadets, she talked to Gatz formally. She did want want the boys to be hurt regardless of what opinion they had of her.

The kid continued to lay down on the ground, while recovering from that last effort for pushing his limits, Until a voice broke in that quiet and calm atmosphere where only the gasps of the young saiyan were making noise, recovering his breathing. The same words he said before was echoed by some other voice different from him, in a question intonation. Okran turned around face down now, and pushed himself up with both hands and rose back on his feets. '' Who's there? '' The young kid did not see her until she spoke again, denoting her position as she got closer and closer. Okran now spotted that peach haired girl, with such harmonious, beautiful and familiar look. He stared straight into her eyes as she speaks. "I wasn't aware my mother had a brother, or siblings or any kind. Unless you're from her ex husband's side of the family.'' '' Wait what? '' Okran didnt not understand what she was talking about , since he wasnt considering the first words that the girl said before showing herself from the shadows. "If my mother is your aunt, then that would make us cousins. My name's Anju. You've got some really cool moves lil guy!" '' Anju?... Oh yeah Anju!, Chi-Chi told me about my cousins!. Im Okran! hehe, Im the only son of raditz, so we are kind of related somehow. '' Okran wanted to reach for a hug of his cousin, but he recalled the time that Chi-chi taught him manners when introducing to people, and he stopped his way and lowered his head, in a respectfull bow to her. ''It's really nice to meet you Anju, i always wanted to meet my family, that why i came to this planet after all.'' Okran's genuine smile come from the bottom of his heart since it was always nice to meet new family after being all alone all those years, training on planet vegeta standing by himself alone. Okran felt really happy at that moment as he now recognized that familiar and cute look that Anju had. Her face and eyes were exactly like chi-chi's. ''So..umm.. do you wanna help me out training? I would appreciate some help since Chi-chi seems to be busy somewhere. She was supposed to be here a while ago. '' Okran scratchs his head a little uncomfortable about this situation, since he felt a little weird infront of his new family member, not knowing what to say or do . [WC] : 408 [TWC] : 1600 |

Anju gave Okran a wide grin as she closed the distance between them, bending low so that she was eye level with him. "It's nice to meet you too Okran. Even cooler knowing I have cousins around!" She replied, patting Okran gently on the head as he bowed his head in a respectful manner to her. {Guess mom's already been teaching him to be respectful.} She thought to herself, as she pulled her hand away. Already, her motherly instincts were beginning to flood her senses again. She had to keep them in check however, even as he explained that the whole point of coming to earth in the first place was to meet family. Her heart felt flooded then, as she reached out and, unable to stop herself, wrapped her arms around Okran, hugging him close. "Aw! I'm sorry Okran! It's okay though....now you've got plenty of family to meet and hang out with!" She assured him, squeezing tight before releasing him, patting him on the head again. "I promise, no one should ever have to be alone. Especially not a child, what the heck was that father of yours thinking?" She asked, puffing her cheeks slightly.![]() Her eyes softened once more when her cousin mentioned the absense of her mother, and requested help from her for training. She blinked her eyes curiously. "Oh yeah huh....I came here looking for mom, and....huh. It is kinda weird that she's late. Usually she's always so....puncutual, but sure!" She grinned again, finally rising to her full height and bouncing a bit. "What would you like for me to do? I'll help in whatever way I can Lil Cuz." She nodded her head. "But...then after, if Mom doesn't show up soon, I'll have to go looking for her. If you've been left here waiting this long, chances are other students of hers have been too, and we can't have them coming to me for training too....since that really isn't the point of the school." She laughed a bit. "That, and I can't be kept around too long either...unfortunately, I've got to report back to General Gatz. Can't keep him waiting either, he gets so rude whenever someone does." She complained a bit, pursing her lips as one hand slipped to rest on her waist. "That man can be such a brute....but he's my father as well so....there's no use in me complaining too much about it." She gave a sheepish grin. "But enough of my banter, what would you like to practice lil guy?" 420 Words 2442 Characters Running Total 1506 Words 8602 Characters |
