Shitagi Summers
Hyperbolic Time Chamber-Day 1 (less than four minutes of real time)
------
"Alright then. Now it's my turn to show you a trick!"

With that I took up my stance. As I faced off into the distance and began to prepare the attack I told Basawe "When I fire this make sure that you get a power reading on it." As he nodded I began to focus my ki for a few seconds and before long I had fired off the attack.

"KAMEHAMEHA!"

I heard Basawe's scouter beeping as I watched my Kamehameha fly off harmlessly into the endless distance of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Getting out of my fighting stance I wiped some sweat away from my forehead. I had done some minor gravity training at one and a half times normal gravity before. As a result adjusting wasn't too bad. However I knew that eventually the combination of the thin air and the gravity would take their toll. I wasn't going to let that stop me however. Turning back to Basawe he said "Hmm.....looks like that was 5218." Nodding I said "Ok then.....now it's your turn. First I want to demonstrate the key differences in my attack and yours. I want you to use your own beam now. Taking up the same stance that I just did Basawe faced away from the rest area and fired off his orange variant of the Kamehameha.

"BASAWE BEAM!"

Being unfocused the attack flew off in a slightly wider arc as opposed to being a focused beam. I made note of the power level on my scouter and then asked Basawe "Ok then.....if you had to guess the power level of that attack what would you say it was?" Basawe crossed his arms as he thought about it for a moment. After a few seconds he looked at me and asked "Over 3000?" Shaking my head I said "Close to it but not quite. That attack read as 2831 on my scouter. Compared to the Kamehameha it lost almost half it's power. Plus since it was unfocused the attack flew off in a somewhat wider arc." Basawe seemed to get a little down at that. However I made sure to point out that his attack wasn't bad. "Don't think that your own attack isn't without it's advantages Basawe" I said as I put a hand on his shoulder. "Using an unfocused attack does have it's advantages. First off they don't take as long to power up. Plus some of them do have wider arcs. Used at the right time that combination could potentially catch someone off guard. The disadvantage however is that with a wider attack you take out more of the surrounding area. That can potentially be a big problem if your trying to keep the damage to the area down. There's also the fact that in order to power an attack like that up you have to use more of your own power. It's like I said when you first asked me about the Kamehameha. The key to a successful attack is knowing when the right time to use it is."

Stepping away from Basawe now I said "Ok.....now I want you to try it again. This time however be sure to focus your power and ki as opposed to simply gathering it. Take your time if you have to. Now you've never used an actual Kamehameha so I don't expect the first one to be perfect. As a result for this training exercise I want you to try to reach 75% of the power of the Kamehameha I used. That would be slightly over 3900 so that'll be your goal." Once again taking up the familiar stance Basawe drew his hands back. However this time he took his time with the attack......

"Kaaa....Meee...."
1291....2357....
"Haaa....Meee...."
2921....3343....

"HAAAA!!!!"

Basawe once again showed to me that he was a natural as far as learning things went. On his first try he managed to fire it off perfectly. What shocked me and caught my attention however was the final power reading as I watched it fly off. 3891....and on his first try no less. I was expecting it to take him at least a few tries before he'd be able to come close to the goal I had set for him. It may not be exactly 75% but it's close enough! Smiling as he looked at his hands and then back at me I told him "Now THAT is how you fire a Kamehameha! With enough practice and your own imagination you can come up with quite a few variants of that attack." Seeming curious over that he asked "What kinds of variants?" With a smirk I once again turned away and powered up another attack.

"Kame....Hame....HA! HA! HA! HA!"

Instead of one continuous beam I fired off several smaller beams. However I wasn't done yet. Powering down as much as I could without the room killing me I dropped out of my fighting stance. Instantly I felt the pressure but I wasn't about to let that stop me. Basawe seemed curious as to what I was doing as I began to power up again. While still standing in a normal stance I started to chant.....

"Kaaa.....Meee.....Haaa....Meee....."

Then without warning just at my aura flared blue I quickly drew my foot back and thrust my hands forward.

"HAAAA!!!!!"

With zero warning and no sign that I was powering up an attack I managed to fire off a Kamehameha almost as powerful as the first one I used during our training. Finally the room took it's hold on me as I fell to my knees panting and sweating. Looking concerned as he helped me back up Basawe asked "Are you ok Shitagi?" Nodding as I spoke I said "Yeah......just too much power in such a short time. As you saw you can fire off multiple weaker beams or use the attack from either an unpowered or weaker state and charge it up as you power up yourself."

Wanting to continue with the training I attempted to power back up again. However I couldn't bring myself up to even 50% of my max power. Dammit.....either I used far more power than I thought I did or this room is taking more of a toll on me than I expected. For a moment I considered using a Kaio-Ken to boost me back but thought better of it. Can't risk that.....I'm still not skilled enough with it and if I get injured bad it'll only waste more time than actual rest will. Suddenly I had a thought. Then again if I can get more used to using the Kaio-Ken while I get used to the effects of the room.....and then there's the Boost that Basawe just taught me. It's the same general idea as the Spirit Bomb but for personal use instead. Does this mean I could potentially use that as well? Also what if I could combine a Boost with the Kaio-Ken? What kind of power level could I possibly reach?

Starting to chuckle a little I looked at Basawe. "I think I just had a few ideas that may be crazy enough to work. However I'm going to need to wait to try them out. After all that I'm done for today." Nearly falling again Basawe managed to catch me and started to help me back to the rest area. As we got closer to it I suddenly sense a nearby power level and looked up at the roof to see a lone figure watching me. Retasu.....so you were watching the whole time. The only question is are you really on our side?

Ok......that should cover Shitagi's first day in the chamber. Quick note on the Kamehameha's that Shitagi used. He obviously used a normal one but during their training he also used a rapid fire version and the one that Gohan used on Cell when he first turned Super Saiyan 2. It was the one he fired from a standstill as he powered up.

As for the Kaio-Ken and the Boost, Shitagi just got the wild idea to potentially combine them and to see if maybe he just might be able to adapt gathering energy for a Boost into a small Spirit Bomb instead. Then there's the Kaio-Ken training. I had an idea for that which I'll reveal......later
