Bab 36: New heights
For the next few weeks Alex and Koneko trained together constantly, she was working on her senjutsu and Alex his ki sensing and strength as he used his own gravity to increase to 110 as soon as possible. First they did stretches and workouts, then they would spar for most of the day to increase their stamina and fighting. When it was four days until the games, three until the party, Alex called their training to an end. He had agreed to spend the last couple of days learning etiquette from Venelana before the party.
"Alright, today's the last day of training, I want you to give me your best shot after I release the gravity." Alex planned to spend the last day fighting without the gravity so that Koneko would understand how much stronger she became easier. When the gravity in the room released, she rushed forward, amazed by the increase in her speed but not showing an opening. The two traded blows as they tested each other, Koneko couldn't believe the increase of her abilities, and Alex was satisfied seeing her growth. His main concern was the lack of issei at this point, as his presence was pivotal for the games. So he focused on helping Kiba and Xenovia by adding gravity to their legs, and Koneko by personally training her. He hasn't checked on the other two yet, but Koneko's difference was staggering.
"Enough." Alex said as he called the spar to an end. He didn't want to push her too far, and he had his own goals before going back. Koneko stopped the fight, breathing deeply with a large grin on her face. Alex was surprised that he got her to open up so quickly, but assumed it was because the burden of the possibly going out of control was mostly gone. She looked at Alex and said,
"Thank you very much for helping me, both with getting stronger and with my own problems!" Alex nodded and said,
"Don't worry about it, your strength is Rias's strength. And I thought it would be better if you smiled more often." Koneko's smile only widened at his words. She then started preparing to leave, when Alex said,
"You go ahead, I want to try something out and it's better if I'm alone. If I'm not there in an hour, can you check on me?" Koneko looked surprised at his words, she struggled with something for a moment before saying,
"Of course, I'll be back in an hour." She then left with a worried expression on her face, but she also believed in him and decided to return in exactly an hour. Seeing her leave through the magic circle, Alex let out a sigh and said out loud,
"I'm finally trying this." He couldn't help feeling a little giddy at the thought, he was finally going to try every little boy's dream, the super Saiyan.
<are you sure you need to try this? The boosted gear would be enough for the moment right?> Ddraig said with uncertainty. He didn't agree with Alex trying to rush the super Saiyan transformation, but Alex replied,
'Of course, what will I do when I encounter Samael who is the enemy of dragons, or Rizevim who cancels out sacred gears? Both are your natural enemies so I need to have a back up.' Ddraig didn't say anything back but still seemed to disapprove. Though she didn't say anything Alex could tell that Lauren thought similarly as Ddraig. Alex dispelled the extra gravity as he needed all of his strength for this, and focused. The key to unlocking the super Saiyan was two things, they needed to reach a certain threshold of power, and needed to feel intense rage. Goku managed it when he saw Frieza kill his friends one by one while also promising to kill his son Gohan, Vegeta managed it when he became engaged at the thought of Goku managing it but not being able to do so himself.
Alex hoped that by being able to train in the 110 times normal gravity allowed him to reach this threshold, and he decided to use the same trigger from him attaining balance breaker. He recalled Raiser feeling up Rias and stealing her lips, even now the thought caused him intense rage, and he fueled even more by recalling what Rias told him after he saved her, that Raiser planned to deflower her after that party if Alex didn't save her. He felt the intense hatred fill his entire body, and the urge to kill Raiser appeared once more. Once the rage fueled his body, Alex went to the old Saiyan fallback,
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" (three episodes later.)
He yelled for all that he was worth, and continued yelling. He willed the power to fuel his body, the rage to take over. Several minutes of this and Alex started feeling a sense of power in him. Lightning started crackling, and the structures around him started to fracture.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
He started to feel a sense of lightness to his body, even though he already removed the gravity. The power flowed through his body, and a sudden shockwave blew out from him. Alex stopped screaming, and examined himself for the first time since he started. The rage was still there, he never felt the Saiyan drive for aggression this powerfully. He wanted to smash those who dared to anger him. Alex turned to a now broken mirror, and confirmed what he already suspected.
His spiked hair that none could tame was standing on end and had a golden color to it. His eyes turned a light blue, compared their normal dark brown. And his clothes all seemed to be a noticeable shade lighter than they were supposed to, due to the golden aura surrounding him. His tail as well had turned a golden color to match his hair. Alex lifted his leg, and stomped on the ground with power, causing a new crater to form under him. He looked at himself once again,
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA! I ACTUALLY DID IT, I ACTUALLY FUCKING DID IT!" He screamed with excitement at his new prowess.
<congratulations partner, just don't lose yourself with their new power.> Ddraig congratulated him, but didn't truly seem pleased with his new capabilities. Alex spent the rest of his time before Koneko checked on him testing his new strength. He needed to master this power to make true use of it. He could already feel his stamina draining at a noticeable rate. When there was less than ten minutes left, Alex decided to try an experiment.
<NO PARTNER, YOUR BODY CANT TAKE IT YET!!!> Ddraig's voice roared in his head.
'ALEX LISTEN TO HIM, ALL YOUR PROGRESS TO THIS POINT WONT MEAN ANYTHING IF YOU DESTROY YOURSELF!!!!' Lauren also yelled at him. Alex then told both of them, with more than a bit of annoyance at their insistence.
'You both know the beings I need to fight in the near future, they will literally be gods. I need to know my limits to be able to properly fight them.' Alex said while ignoring their protests, and he summoned the red gauntlet.
(A.N. So with the super Saiyan transformation, I'm going with the most common numbers I found stating that the forms multiply his power by 50, 100, then 200. And I also eliminated the levels for the followers because they were pretty much useless. Alex is the only one with levels now, and they are more of milestone markers for the shop, not a measure of power.)
