『"Please, just give me a reason to punch your face in!"』
Celes had watched Pars try to catch Kami, following their movements the best she could. It seemed Pars had a few tricks up his sleeve, and was able to lay a finger on Kami, although she wouldn't call that actually catching him, it seemed to be enough to actually allow them to learn both techniques Kami had in store for them. Right now, they were going to learn one technique. That would be enough for her for now.
Without warning, Celes allowed her ki to explode as she began to try to utilize the flash step. Like everything, it was a matter of control. In this instance, she theorized it was muscle and ki control. Celes began bursting around the lookout, trying to nail down exactly what it was going to take.

When we scream, our lips don't make a sound We march, with feet on solid ground We walk, where no one wants to go, on this untraveled road
xxxVeera listened as he decided that he was going to teach them the technique he was using. Well, it seemed that it was interesting at least. Could give her a very large advantage when fighting against those powerhouses in the ragna crew. She just had to be able to learn it and master it. She watched Celes start to train that move and tried to copy her movement, but found that she was unable to. Groaning in frustration, she turned back to the old man. "Alright. So what will I need to be able to train that move? Something just isn't right when I try to do it myself." She growled as she crossed her arms, frustration clear in her expression as her tail tip flicked back and forth behind her.

So hold on for a moment, if we're not scared of opponents Then with what we have we can own it, we'll just plant the seed and keep growin' it And when that light shines in the mornin', they'll still be waken' up yawning But we'll be smilin' like we expected, with sweet victory one method
Seeing Kami swiftly move out of the way was enough to pique minor interest in Rawber to give this technique a try. "So we make ourselves seem faster than we actually are. Not really sure how that works, but I guess I'll give it a shot."
Rawber tried moving as fast as he could, back and forth, side to side, and zigzagging, but nothing felt right. There was something he was missing. How do you make yourself seem faster than you actually are? "high speed movement by the matter of simply skipping". It can't be so simple as just changing how you move. There had to be something more. He then saw the other saiyan girl struggling with it too. At least he wasn't alone in this undertaking.
Yeah, I'm with her. What are we gonna need to get an idea of how to do this? You mentioned skipping, but it can't be just that. I've never felt that skipping made me faster.
|♢| Universe 7 |♢| Android |♢|BP: 310|♢| Ki: 190/220 |♢| STA: ∞ |♢| |♢| Current Theme - -|♢| ✚ Seeing the girl's belts become functioning tails was quite the shock to Sev! This is like a dream come true in her science field! There were many questions she wanted to ask, with mouth agape. She also wanted to maybe...touch one of them, but that would have to wait. As Kami would proceed to show them a technique with the big guy's help. The Android watched and analyzed the display, making notes and calculations in her head. Afterward, he would insist they give it a try; to learn this technique that would give them an edge in the upcoming battles. Sev was quiet for a moment before she turned to Runi with her observations. "I've calculated we won't be fast enough to use this move. S-Should we train...together? All of us, I mean! If we work together, umm...it would be like a team building...exercise?" she mumbled the last few words. It felt like all eyes were on her and her nerves were going through the roof.
｡｡｡[ENERGY SKILLS] ✧ Voltaic Blitz - A variation of the Power Blitz, Android #7 draws her hand back and charges a swirling red energy sphere with electric ki. She then brings her hand forward and fires the sphere in the form of an energy wave at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.
｡｡｡[MARITAL (PHYSICAL) SKILLS] ✧ Hydraulic Press - With a rising knee kick, Android #7 launches herself into the air. Should this attack connect, the opponent will also be launched into the air; however it is not necessary for the technique. Taking aim, she launches a powerful dive kick at her opponent. When it connects, Android #7 activates the hydraulic pressure device in her leg, creating a second impact. Other races can replicate this technique by releasing a surge of ki in the kick.
✧ Autonomic Assault - Android #7 stands on one leg and side kicks "at the speed of lightning", with her other leg extended out. The kicks come out with incredible speed and power, and can land several hits, doing substantial damage if not blocked. This technique can also be used mid air; each kick that lands propelling and keeping her afloat.
｡｡｡[SPEED & MOVEMENT SKILLS] ✧ Flight - The user manipulates their ki energy so that they can levitate or fly. How this technique is described, one would assume that the flyer is putting their ki underneath them, forcing it down similar to an engine or helicopter pushing air down to rise from the ground.
✧ Afterimage Technique - An ability to move so swiftly that an image of the user is left behind. The image itself cannot perform physical tasks, as it fades through everything. Most often, it is used to dodge an incoming attack and get behind the opponent to perform a counterattack. Its usage is not limited to just counterattacks, though, as it can also be used to confuse enemies: the image is used to distract the enemy, forcing them to think it is the actual fighter and giving the user a chance to perform the actual attack.
｡｡｡[ULTIMATE SKILLS] ✧ Bionic Frenzy - Sev will crouch down before delivering a sliding side kick and then standing on one leg, delivers side kicks "at the speed of lightning". The kicks come out with incredible speed and power, and can land several hits, doing substantial damage if not blocked. She proceeds to deliver a barrage of vertical spinning kicks while rising into the air. At the peak of this barrage, an upside-down double-legged kick upwards will then be followed by an axe kick that knocks the opponent down. Teleporting to land before her opponent, she then follows with a spinning back kick to the exposed back of the falling fighter, finishing by kicking them aside.
✧ Termination Storm - Android #7 creates two large electric energy spheres in each hand, strokes of lightning lashing out sporadically. If the opponent is too close to her when she is charging up the energy spheres, they will be damaged by the aura of energy that surrounds her. She can launch these orbs individual or combine them into a massive lightning bomb. Even after this attack this ends, her body will still be temporarily covered in sparks.

Runi would look at the game of cat and mouse end as the man said he was going to teach them a technique to contend with the opponents, speedwise. His eyes would blink at the display while the others began their attempts, though while they were doing so, his hand would scratch his chin beside Amber. His hips poked to one side while he sighed, thinking of the point of this technique. His finger poking his glasses up while it seemed that the people around were having a great deal of trouble using the technique. His feet stepped forward , while Amber spoke. It seemed she wanted group training to increase the efficiency of the training for all of them. His mouth would form a light smile as his hand would move up to her shoulder and he shook his head. "These Saiyamen could use the help with the technique, it's a good idea." He'd tell her while walking forward and looking to the vast temple grounds. "But I don't need this technique. . .I need to work on another technique." He'd call back to her as he walked through the crowd and blinked slowly. "Head on combat wouldn't be an intelligent move for me. For I wouldn't be directly in combat with someone that much stronger than me, even with my Kokoro no heiwa. . ." He'd mutter to himself while rubbing his chin as he stopped a bit behind the group. "So I'll practice a technique I've been thinking of mastering for a while. Have fun with the jog guys." He'd say with a hand wave and a chuckle.
✧The Saiyan had failed to catch the old man, his attempts apparently having ran out. It was truly annoying that he wasn’t able to, but that just showed that he still hadn’t reached his peak, something that made Pars feel happy in a weird way. It simply meant he had more reason to improve himself, to get stronger, or faster in this case. Though he did see the use in such a technique, he didn’t necessarily wish to use it, rather he wanted to surpass it with either brute speed or his own iteration of the technique. It was likely his Saiyan pride and power hunger speaking, but that’s what it was for him, he wanted to surpass something he could not beat, and it felt as natural as breathing for him. If he failed to surpass the technique, he would submit and accept learning it, just as he would accept a defeat from a strong opponent, he wouldn’t do it without giving his all. However, that would be difficult to do so alone, after all he could not gauge his speed by his lonesome, especially if his aim was to surpass high speed movement. The answer to this was simple, get someone to help him. While the Saiyans certainly interested him, as did the redhead, there was only one person who appeared to not be too interested in learning this technique as well, perfect. Smirking a confident smirk, he walked over to Runi “Yo, you’re trainin’ with me.” He said straight out, not bothering with small talk of any kind. He did not seem to care at all what plans Runi had, all that mattered was he trained with Pars. "Old man, we're trainin' somewhere else, don't want to mess your place up." He said to Kami, walking over to the edge and looking down it, thinking on where to train. He'd look towards Sev with interest however "Wanna come along? I could use a backup partner in case this one taps out."
R ứ n i ▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ ❝..Sleeping a bit longer..❞ ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
Runi's eyes would peer back while he put a hand in his pocket. His mouth gave a slight smirk as he rolled his shoulders. The man behind him was going. The big Saiyan would be intimidating at first, though his eyes showed that he was interested in getting better, and faster. The greatest way was to train with someone who clearly outmatched him. Even with the light steps of his feet to the edge, he would chuckle and stare to the clouds. "Ya know, maybe having a sparring partner isn't such a bad idea." He'd say trying play it cool. "I haven't tested my abilities against someone in a long time. Maybe it'll put me back in fighting shape." He'd say to the young man as his body turned back seeing that it seemed he was contemplating. Though the comment to Amber would make a tinge appear on his forehead. "Hey, I won't tap out early, I never tap out! I'll show ya, I'm gonna take you through the ringer kiddo." He'd call out before scoffing and looking down towards the land below. His mouth sighed while he shook his head. "Nevermind, just. . .Follow me. Amber, you can find me if you need me. Don't worry." He'd call to her while he jumped downwards towards the land below. His eyes blinked a few times as his hair fluttered upwards and he felt the pressure move his cheeks around as he opened his mouth. 'Why did I try to act tough? Damn it, now I've gotta get my a** kicked.' He'd think to himself while he leaned forward and pushed a rune back and stepped on it. The Rune's green glow would apply pressure to him as he would let his eyes glow green and mutter the word that would send him forward. "Gale!" -exit-
✧The more this human talked, more interested Pars felt in fighting him. With a chuckle, he'd turn to the others, smirking, and then waving farewell with a peace sign before leaping off of the Lookout and flying after Runi. He truly did feel excitement on sparring with him, while there was certainly a gap between their power, that didn't matter the slightest to Pars, Runi was still stronger than most Earthers and that meant enough to the Saiyan. This was especially so with the fact that he and the redhead were the first two notable people he's met in a long time. As such, both of them earned a spot at the front of the line for who the Saiyan wanted to spar with. If the redhead did join, then that would make things even more spectacular.
Kami watched as a couple of the warriors attempt to try out the technique, though they just didn't possess the proper amount of speed just to ignite the technique. He looked up to listen to Runi and Pars deny the offer to train under him for now. Of course, he wouldn't stop them. If that was their choice, then he would respect that.
The old man left a nod. "Very well, good luck. Steer clear of the Ragna Crew members in the meantime." Kami looked back to the rest of the group who was still trying to be taught. It was brought to his attention that they didn't know how to exactly perform the skill. "It seems you all do not necessarily have the set speed standards to do the technique properly. Ok, let's focus on getting your speed together first, before going into the technique." Lifting his hands to magically create weights around the ankles of each warrior. About 50 tons on each leg. "This should speed up the process more efficiently. Start with walking until you start getting acclimated to the weights. From there, gradually increase your speed. We'll start with this for now." Kami stated as he watched his temporary students begin their training.
Celes watched as the others that stayed tried to move for the technique. They were slow, but trying. Runi and Pars had elected not to learn the technique, deigning to instead travel elsewhere and train. She hoped Runi knew what he was getting into with Pars. But before she could think on it more, weights appeared on her ankles. "What the...?" The weights were incredibly heavy. Heavier than she cared to admit as she struggled to move them.
However, Celes wasn't at the extent of her power. With a quick roar, her hair spiked up and turned golden, her eyes shifting from black to a bright green. She was now much more able to lift the weights and move around. She picked up her legs and kicked a few times before turning back to the others. They too had the weights. They looked to be just as heavy as hers. They would have far more trouble than she would, which was unfortunate. But it would help in their training in the long run.
Now that she was powered up and could move more freely, Celes continued with learning the technique they had been showed. On top of that, she would work to get faster. These weights still added to her effort, even in her Super Saiyan form. They were certainly heavy.
|♢| Universe 7 |♢| Android |♢|BP: 310|♢| Ki: 220/220 |♢| STA: ∞ |♢| |♢| Current Theme - -|♢| ✚ It was a good idea, or at least it sounded like one in her head. However, neither Runi or that big guy held any interest in learning the move. The big guy, in fact, was insisting the bespectacled man train with him off the Lookout. He was even "nice" enough to invite her, which she would hesitate and shy away. She'd seen what the man was capable of and honestly...was a little frightened to spar with him. Yet here Runi was, going along with it so casually. And before she knew it, he was off with the large Saiyan to train elsewhere. He said she could find him later, but how? Was he really going to be okay? What if that man went berserk again? Sev shook her head and finally came to a decision to follow after them. The girl ran for the edge of the temple, leaping to take to the skies. Once she was airborne, her feet high off the ground...Kami's weights would latch themselves to her ankles. She gasped at the sudden heaviness that knocked her off balance and quickly dragged her to the ground.

Rawber
A team building exercise. Not a bad idea, he thought. It would definitely be a good idea for each of them to learn how each other worked if they were gonna fight together. Didn't want to get in each other's way during a fight. It would be bad if they bumped into each other during an evasive maneuver.
He started approaching the girl "So when you said train together, what exactly did you have in m-" He suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at the new weights around his ankles. "ind?" He tried moving only to find he was having no real success. "Okay. This is new..." He then noticed the girl fall off the lookout. "Oh. That's gonna hurt come winter..."
When we scream, our lips don't make a sound We march, with feet on solid ground We walk, where no one wants to go, on this untraveled road
xxxVeera watched everyone as they also tried and failed or succeeded at the technique. So it all had to do with their speed level. She frowned in annoyance. What would she have to do to be able to catch up? She watched Pars, Runi, and Sev all leave to train elsewhere and shrugged. Good for them. Then came the weights. She blinked as she looked down at them, frowning. They were supposed to use these to get faster? "Well here goes nothing." She muttered as she started taking the first steps, looking annoyed as it was a lot more difficult then it seemed. Growling, she spiked up her power levels as she started taking slow and steady steps. She just needed to take the first steps around the lookout. One foot in front of the other. Like any other time she was training. [1]

So hold on for a moment, if we're not scared of opponents Then with what we have we can own it, we'll just plant the seed and keep growin' it And when that light shines in the mornin', they'll still be waken' up yawning But we'll be smilin' like we expected, with sweet victory one method
The sight of Sev leaving as well to do her own kind of training was kind of expected. Seeing how the human male alongside herself managed to be somewhat close to each other. Though he didn't expect for her to be casted with the chains as she was leaving. The amount of weight forced her to fall staight to the ground. Walker was left speechless at the sight and realization. "Good thing she's somewhat mechanical...she may have a higher chance of survivng a fall like that...at least I hope."
Turning his attention back to the three remaining members who stayed to pick up this training. The last among the living saiyans. Seeing how all three of them are in a bit of trouble getting used to the weights. "Fret not my children, it really is the simplest things that help produce powerful results." Watching and guiding the three over the training course. All he knew was, the quicker they can learn this, the easier of a chance to put an end to the Ragna Crew. But what worried him the most...was what they could be doing with no one defending against them. "Brute force is nice and self needing yes, but what good if you can't catch up to your enemy. You saiyan may be a race of warriors but it takes more than strength to overcome these opponents. Those weights are modified to give you trouble and make you uncomfortable. Try and gain the feeling of walking normally with them, then gradually pick up your speed under such tribulations. For once you take them off, your feet will feel lighter, making you move much faster than you originally were. [1]
Celes stopped to listen to what Walker was saying. The Earth's guardian was correct in that brute strength wouldn't win fights alone. Some enemies would be faster than others. They needed to be able to catch those enemies. These weights were going to be better than just for increasing their speed. It would also teach them how to move.
Celes continued to move around the lookout, faring better than Rawber or Veera. That was mostly due to her Super Saiyan transformation, but she was still faster at a base level than the two. She was hoping the two of them would be able to catch up enough to learn the technique that Walker had to teach them.
Taking one final step forward, Celes turned to the Earth's guardian, and began to speak. "I think I've had enough of the speed training for now. We don't have much time, and it's better for us to go ahead and get to work on the technique." Time was of the essence, and they needed to get to work. Not to mention the fact that they still needed to get the final Dragon Ball and revive Ryuzu.
