Kain listened as Ryuzu explained that he wanted them to meditate. Kain was familiar with the technique. Some of the other students back in Turtle school did it. About collecting ones thoughts and focusing yourself. Kain stepped back and sat down, his legs-crossed and hands folded palms facing up.
Kain took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He exhaled and inhaled forming a steady pattern. His thoughts slipped to home, to his family. He thought about the Ragna Crew that King Kai informed him of. Kain teeth gritted at that his aura flaring. He was here not there, he was useless and it annoyed him.

"Clear your mind. Whatever you have going on in your head...release it for now only bring up the strongest thought in your head when you feel like your ki has hit an inner wall. Then flare to overcome your hurdle. Allow ki itself to move instead of you and your mind. Be formless." As he preached, he also practiced. Feeling the ki flare up, he knew that Kain could do so much more. Taking another deep sigh of his own, the saiyan resorted back to his meditation. Allowing his ki to take over as he fell down deep inside himself, trying to tap into more of his latent potential. Little rocks and pebbles that were under him began to rose up ever so slightly as Ryuzu progressed on. Though Ryuzu decided to keep that limitation there for the meantime. At least while Kain was around.
Though he was meditating himself, he managed to keep an eye on this younger saiyan to see his progression. Only to repeat himself every now and then. "Be formless like water, allow yourself to be the resevoir in the body of ki as the water. Allow it to flow and build before you release it and repeat."
Kain listened to Ryuzu and took a deep breath. His aura calming down settling into a thin line around him. The world around him went silent. In his own mind space, a projection of himself formed. All around was complete darkness. Slowly it began to light up, a vast ocean of blue Ki, the natural state of Ki.
From next to him a mirror rose from beneath the surface. As Kain looked into the mirror he saw himself. But a much younger version, from middle school. He was shouting at a small group of girls. Turning to see his sister kneeling on floor sobbing, a puddle of blood quickly forming under her. In her hands she clenched her severed tail. The girls had been bullying her and while he was in his class testing they escalated to cutting off her tail, he failed to be there and save her. The surface of the water, Ki, around him began to ripple.
The mirrors surface rippled and changed scenes. The scene was of his house burning, the burned corpses of his mother and father lay nearby. Standing near the house was a shadowy figure, in who's hands was Celes held up by her neck. She was beaten and bloody, her armor in tatters. She looked his way and weakly raised a hand towards him, pleading for help. The figure smiled and gave Celes' neck a squeeze. There was a sickening snap and her body went limp. The figure threw her to the side, her neck snapped. The water around Kain turned torrential as Kain screamed.
On King Kai's planet Kain's body began to float into the air, debris floating all around him. His aura raged like a fire as he twitched in fury. His hair flashed between black and gold as the small planet shook violently. Kain let loose a roar of anger and anguish, a bright light flashed. In it's wake was Kain, his hair gold and his eyes green.

In conjunction with his mental training, Ryuzu caught something off. The saiyan Kain, his Ki was rising exponentially. It was almost as if it was uncontrollable. Ryuzu slowly rose to his feet as he watched the boy float into the air. His ki sparking off back and forth as the area brushed harsh gusts of wind. Ryuzu in total shock stood in amazement at what was happening. He could feel the kid's power. It was going off the scale. The kid's hair and tail flashed back from black to gold before a violent roar rare out in a flash of light, forcing Ryuzu to cover his eyes quickly while it was still bright. The lights finally faded, releasing his arms to see the boy in spiked up golden hair and green eyes. Eyes widened at the change in not just appearance but in power as well.
His fists clenched at such the power jump. He didn't know exactly what that was but whatever it was...it was powerful. His blood boiled. "Well then, whatever wall you were trying to break..it worked." Ryuzu's training with Kain was over but the fruits of the labor definitely blessed this kid.

What a sight to behold from the kid, but it agitated the Saiyan warrior at such a spike it surpassed even him. He couldn't allow himself to stay that way. The Ragna Crew are out there and he can't even protect his home. He had to be ready and needed to get stronger as much as possible. He walked over to King Kai who was also impressed with Kain and knew exactly what that was. "King Kai, please apply the weights again to me as I continue my training. I need to be able to defeat Tonkhūr when I return to Earth." King Kai knew what and why, so without any rebuttal he did exactly what was asked. But with added weight to make it harder. Ryuzu stood back a bit before he began to raise his power up as his ki turned crimson red along with his body. Kaio-ken...times ten!!!" Shooting his power ten times that of his current state, the weights were still a bit heavy. He looked over to King Kai knowing full well it was not enough. Even in Kaio-ken, he needed to be able to push this. The weights gotten larger due to the Kai's power but he feared that Ryuzu may be pushing it. "With the Kaio-ken and these hard added weights. I should be able get faster and be able to last longer as my body and power becomes more accumulated. Gotta do this! Even if it hurts me!" With that, Ryuzu got on the driving lane of the planet and began slowly moving forward. Step by step.
With each step, Ryuzu felt as if his muscles were on fire as in reality they definitely were. Couldn't even muster up a jog yet. Grunting and gritting his teeth, forcing his feet to move forward even inches from each other. Barely got a whole yard forward. Maybe he did bit off more than he could chew, but that didn't matter. Ryuzu forced his body to manuever as if he was running, struggling to push into strides instead of steady walking. He couldn't afford to lose, if he did...all just may be lost.

================ ※※※※※ ==================
Taking simply strides were more than what he had accounted for when it came to the increase in weight and the strain from the kaio-ken technique. He barely made it halfway into his first lap. Frustrating as it was, Ryuzu force himself to dig deep, deep within himself to pick up the pace more than he had previously done. It was more than a desire, he needed to gain more strength. Not only to prevail against that transformation, but to protect his friend holding down the Planet. The movement speed began to get an increase slightly, increasing his motivation to keep up the flow. However, Ryuzu failed to lift his foot high enough for a proper stride. This failure made him fall face first into the road pavement. Thanks to the increase in the weights, Ryuzu fell into his own personal crater though it was rather small. "...Owww..."
Taking a moment to deal with the circumstance, Ryuzu was in motion to rise back to his feet until he stopped in moments. His face all serious and mind in thought. There are other methods to increase his strength, in this new case, apply workouts for every messup he makes. Lowering his body into the ground before pushing himself back up only to repeat about 15 times before getting himself back up. Taking a deep breath before taking his strides once more.
This strain on the body due to the kaio-ken was really getting to him. Didn't quite know why he didn't master all the way to the highest of the technique, more time to make up for the lost he supposed. If it'd be just the weights, it probably wouldn't be as troubling. Managing both the control of the kaio-ken and the added weights is quite the physical hurdle. In time, the strides had gotten easier, before able to minimize the strides into a slight jog-like walk. Now he would incorporate push ups every half lap.

With a few breathers to relax his body and his mind, Ryuzu had started to actually get used to the body strain and added weight. Used to it enough where he can have a casual walk to a slight jog. Managed to knock out 3 whole laps from that elevation as well. Casually stopping for push-ups and sit-ups in the midst of his laps, now that he's being more accustomed to the shift in weight. He started thinking of other ways to add to his training regiment. Especially when his body is getting used to the change which could prevent his growth and he knew that couldn't come to pass.
Coming up on his fourth lap, Ryuzu added leg raises into his regiment along with push-ups, after a while of moving around the planet, he would switch up the regular workout. From pushup with squats to situps with jumping jacks to pushups with burpees to leg raises with squats, and so on. Tricking his mind to something different happening every time he made a stop. Though for now, he let himself take a pause in his running to focus his mind and take a breather...even though being dead he doesn't exactly have to. During his pause, he began to think about something. Something that caught his mind a while back. But before he would let his mind scurry off, he got back to his training which means more laps for the Saiyan.
These laps seem quite endless. It was just from laps to random exercises to back to more running. Oh, wait...he was actually running. Not as fast as a usual run, but faster than a jog with these weights on him. Seems the weight now isn't really getting to him. Able to let himself cut loose. Ryuzu was curious at his current progress about how far he's come. Hopping off his running track to charge a powerful ki blast into the distance. The orbit adjusted the blast's trajectory as it traveled around the planet coming back to Ryuzu like a boomerang from behind. Turning around to face the blast head-on, the collision caused an uproar which he was revealed to have a slight one-armed guard against his own blast. He expressed a soft smirk to himself, expecting to possibly hold up two. Hopefully, with the training soon to be done, for the time being, he would reach some desired results. But for now....back to running, he went.
It's gotten to a point where Ryuzu felt more comfortable with each lap being passed. Not only that, every time he did an exercise, it got a bit easier every set. Now with every passed lap, he managed to increase his speed. What's even crazier was the fact that his kaio-ken was starting to feel quite at ease. Ryuzu's results were definitely showing but he had to continue pushing. He still had to fill some kind of hurdle and push even further.

Practice makes perfect. With time and effort, a goal will be completed. With some time, Ryuzu became fully acclimated to this level of Kaio-ken. He felt it as soon as the body strain just vanished from him. All he could feel was the pressure from the weights...which now didn't really do much to him nor for him.
Of course, he decided to finish up his laps with his randomized exercises. He couldn't hide nor get rid of the grin on his entire face. He was getting far stronger than he had even thought. However, it wasn't much compared to that transformed state of the Saiyan Kain. He'll have to deal with it for now, especially since he is getting closer to his desired state. Making his smooth transitions back and forth from running now turned into a fast-paced run which may seem like a sprint but just simply a litter over half speed and exercises.
Coming to a halt, Ryuzu closed his eyes before shooting his power to its highest with his Kaio-ken ten times higher than his normal state. The power-up broke his weights to pieces. Looking at his hands and body, the powerup was mighty strong itself and it wasn't even the maximum. His legs and arms felt crazy light. With that complete, hopefully, more time has passed for the Dragonballs to have been recovered and ready to wish him back. Until then, gotta create more training regiments and just be ready.

A break was well needed for the time being after his previous training. However once his break was over, time to get back to training. Bringing himself to a calming point in his soul, he stood there awaiting as the wind blew. No need to rush any form of movement. Rushing will lead into a waste in energy. The moment the wind stopped blowing, Ryuzu sprung into action. Using his his body to jump and manuever around before ending the movement with a strike to the air. Harnessing on the swiftness and the power thrown into the strike before moving into a kick.
His attacks had gotten quite faster and more defined. They became more accurate and in fine form In time it adapted into shadowboxing for all his limbs. Keeping his body and feet light, never staying stagnant with movement. Eyes forward, hips straight, rapid movement. Adding kicks into his shadowboxing while manuvering around for added speed. Sweat hopped off his skin as they made themselves more apparent visually off the consistent repetition Ryuzu applied to his training. Stopping for a break and to relax his muscles, he flopped down to the grass and just sat to relax. Laying down to his back, his shut his eyes comfortably and laid himself for a brief rest.

Kain soon dropped from the form, his body yet to grasp the full potential of it. Heaving he looked to Ryuzu training while cloaked in a red aura and his power was great. Kain had only ever trained the Oozaru transformation. So training in the same Ryuzu was using might help his body acclimate to transforming. He looked to King Kai "Kaio-sama, could you teach me as you had Ryuzu?" he asked him with the upmost respect.

King Kai was stunned from the utter transformation into the myth that was passed down for years when it came to Saiyans. The legend of the Super Saiyan. Apparently, Ryuzu didn't quite know exactly what it was as it was expected really, but it seemed to have fueled his fire to keep on his training. Peering through his glasses he couldn't help but be surprised at such a discovery. It left him with a sneaky grin on his face.
Turning around to gaze back to Earth while Kain was caught up in his transformation and Ryuzu in his training. Learning about the entire fleet of the Ragna Crew have been on the move and have pressed on the remaining defenders with only one of them to fall...just for another to rise. King Kai was feeling incredibly uneasy. What's worse, Tonkhūr is actually on the move. He wondered what exactly the two people he contacted before was happening but it seems they're regrouping from their own fight. They need to hurry, if Tonkhūr finishes whatever he has planned, the Earth just may be doomed...
Immediately he heard a voice call out to him. Seeing it was Kain asking for King Kai himself to train him. "Oh..? Train you huh? You want to become my student alongside Ryuzu over there? Hmmm..." Thinking over the possible positive outcomes, having another student can help get Ryuzu a good training partner as they both would grow stronger together...and he wouldn't be the only representative of King Kai's teachings either. He scoped Kain's entire being from head to toe. If I do, taking down Tonkhūr and his crew would grow higher in chances. It seems there may be hope. Facing him with a few chuckles and a swift glare from the glasses, "alright, I'll take you on as my new student. I'll push you just as hard as I did with Ryuzu. And I have a few techniques I can teach you as well. Give you and Ryuzu something unique with being my students." Stating with a proud grin and laughter to himself. "Well get yourself prepared. We'll begin whenever you're ready."
Kain listened and stood by as King Kai deliberated on his request. When King Kai came back and said he would Kain beamed a smile and gave him a a 90-degree bow "thank you Kaio-sama." Then King Kai said they could start when ready. Kain fished a capsule from his pocket, with a click he tossed it on the ground. From it popped a metal crate, opening it showed it was an equipment crate with a good few copies of his armor amd a spare sword. Kain removed the sword and armor from his person and place them inside. He changed the crate back to the capsule and put it in his pocket. Kain turned to King Kai "I am ready Sensei" he said respectfully.

It seems these Saiyans have one thing in common. An addiction to strength. However, the fact that these Saiyans are way too ahead of what they expect is truly nothing but entertaining to him. Walking around the boy after stating he was ready. "Hmmm, a figure-2 close to 3 body type. More of the leaner side with a toning definition...since you requested the same methods as I have done with Ryuzu over there, I'm going to put you under serious bodyweight training. You will become your own lifting weight so we'll work on the individuals before moving up anywhere else. Once your body gets acclimated to the training itself, we can move onto more rigorous training." Walking away looking at his planet letting his mind sort out different routines.

Unfortunately, Ryuzu had gotten quite a bit more rest than what he had planned earlier. Not like it mattered due to being dead. But it seems like since he still possessed his halo, he must've lost as much time as he had previously thought. Standing up for a bit of stretching before going into his thoughts.
Pacing around the planet for a bit, he looked back on his progress, noting how far he's gotten. Though, the Saiyan wanted something to visibly show the fruits of his labor. Not only that but also having to encounter the Ragna Crew, Ryuzu will have to develop more of his arsenal if he had any hopes to take them down. Of course, he did have the mighty spirit bomb, but King Kai did tell him only use it as a last resort so he will have to have something to utilize before even having to take such a risk. This brought up quite a few ideas. "Well time to give it a try. I'll take one of my older techniques and expand upon it." He figured that King Kai must be training the boy himself, so giving them some space should be fine.
Ryuzu harnessed the ki he had gather in the palm of both his hands as it grew in power the longer he held it. It was his kamehameha technique. A move like this can become as powerful as the user wants it to be depending on how much ki the user applies. However, he wanted to expand on that. Spreading his hands wide away from each other, the technique bursts into air, leaving nothing left behind. Immediately shot an idea through Ryuzu's thought. A way to spread out his blast! Alright, now with more focus, Ryuzu charged up his kamehameha technique once more before spreading his hands causing it to burst once more. "This may take longer than I would hope."

With the rough knowledge of how he planned to execute the move exactly, Ryuzu forgone his training. Taking a blast and expand upon it and acquire a change in form. Charging forth the kamehameha like normal, harnessing the ki within the ball of energy. Applying a bit of alteration in its form and like water, move in motion with his hands as the guide. Spreading his hands across it once again bursts into a small bomb, firing off exactly in place of its form. The saiyan blew away some excess smoke with the act like he was coughing. "A pretty straightforward technique for sure, but applying the change in its harnessing nature and directing its traffic will definitely take its time..." Pacing back and forth to give it some thought, he broke it down within steps of what his possible cause of failure might be. If it is going to work, the fluidity from start to finish must be superb.
