Goku smiled at Meria's awe struck response, he got this quite often with those who happened upon his hut and was thus quite used to it. Most people tended to calm down rather quickly once they got into the training so it rarely became an actual problem. "Alright then, why were you looking for me? You 'wanna train or spar?" Goku asked hoping that this would kick start the girls brain.

Meria took a deep breath a decided it would jsut be better to be normal, Goku likely got this a lot and probably would get rather exhasperated with her if she continued acting line a star struck child for too long. "I was hoping that I could meet someone who would help me with my training, I want to become strong enough that I can return to life because when I died I left a dear friend of mine behind."

Goku gave Meria a knowing smile and nodded, he had a lot of experience with that, first with his fight with Raditz, then against Cell. Twice he'd died and left his family all alone. It hadn't been so bad after Raditz as he'd been so driven to get stronger to fight off Vegeta and Nappa but after fighting Cell, he'd only ahd his normal drive to become stronger. "Oh, I know exactly what you mean. Alright then, I'll help you out, now do you just want to do some training or would you like to learn a few of my techniques?" Goku would ask.

Meria was a bit confused about how Goku would know what she meant but then guessed that perhaps maybe he had died and been revived at some point or perhaps he simply knew what it meant to die and leave someone behind. "If it would be possible I'd like to learn one of your techniques after a bit of normal training, if possible I would like to learn something that will make me stronger, even if it's only for a little while." Meria would ask.

"Alright, a bit of training so that I can see where your at and hopefully help you improve a bit and then I'll tech you the Kaioken." Goku said with a grin as he cracked his neck, he knew he wouldn't exactly be getting a workout from training Meria as even using less than one percent of his full strength was about enough to kill most all of the people that came to him for training but still it would be rather awkward to cramp up while training some.. wait was it even possible to get a cramp while dead? Seeing as Goku was preparing for training Meria began stretching a bit, she was already a bit interested in just what this 'Kaioken' was but she assumed that once she was done training with Goku that he would explain everything she would need to know about the move.

"Oh yeah, before we fight. What's your name? You seem to know mine but regardless I'll introduce myself. I'm Son Goku." Goku said with a laugh, back in his youth he probably would have gotten about halfway through sparing with her before he suddenly realized he didn't even know the name of his opponent. "My name is Meria." She said stifling a laugh of her own as she finished stretching. "Alright then Meria, I want you to come at me with everything you've got. Don't hold back anything.. wait.. can you sense energy?" Goku said getting momentarily side tracked, it was a rather common ability amongst his friends but often he needed to remind himself that not everyone was like his group. "Oh.. yes, I can." Meria said earning a grin from Goku as this would make things a lot easier for him. "Good then you know I'm strong enough to take a lot. So just come at me."

Meria nodded stiffly before taking up a fighting stance to which Goku responded with his own, she doubted that Goku would be doing very much fighting back in the beginning most likely with his power he'd just block and defend and at best use highly weakened counter attacks that would send her flying across the battlefield. Meria let out a laugh at the idea of just how little power Goku would need to destroy her. It was a bit of morbid humor but she found it funny none the less. All personal jokes aside it was time for action, deciding to start things off fast Meria would let loose with an explosive eye laser aimed for Goku's chest. The blast flew forawrd only to be countered by Goku putting out a ki covered palm, essentially forming a beam struggle between his most basic use of energy and her strongest attack.

Goku would not as the blast hit his hand, her ki strength was pretty good as at the very least he needed to use a bit of ki in order to hold back the technique. "That's pretty good Meria, now how about putting some more enegy into it, try to focus the beams strength enough to push my arm." Goku would say as he adjusted himself slightly essentially turning his arm into a target.

Meria almost laughed at Gokus chosen way of helping her become stronger. Something like this would only work because she and Goku had such different levels of power but she had to admit it might be a pretty good way of training. "Alright" She said as she began focusing even more energy into the laser causing it to pulse slightly as i increased in power, the attack had still yet to actually explode as per it's name but Meria simply assumed that Goku was able to hold that part back with his energy as well. Idly she wondered if he even knew the technique was supposed to explode upon impact.

"Very nice Meria, do you mind me asking what your style of fighting is? I'm mostly an up close fighter but I usually like to throw in a good mix of my ki attacks. What about you?" Goku would ask as he kept his arm steady, Meria's lasers hadn't quite gotten it to move yet be he could tell there was an improvement with the attacks strength. "Erm.. well In a fight I tend to like to keep my distance and pummel my opponent with energy attacks. I'm not exceptionally strong but I'm incredibly fast and I'm pretty decent with my energy attacks when I'm fighting someone at my level of strength." Meria said feeling the need to add the last part as she tried focusing even more energy into the attack becoming determined to make Goku's arm move.

"Ah alright then, so unless you really want me to work on something else I think for now it would probably be best to keep working on making your energy attacks stronger. When you have time on your own you might want to try working on strengthening yourself physically, energy attacks are great and usually do a lot of damage but they can take a lot out of you and most are much easier to avoid than a punch." Goku said as he felt Meria increase the energy in her laser, he was glad to see that she seemed so determined to achieve the task he'd given her. Suddenly Goku felt even more energy pour into the attack as evidently Meria was focusing even further after his mini-speech.

Were her eyes no the source of her current attack Meria would have nodded her agreement to Goku's suggestion, for the most apart he was probably right and at the very least Meria would make some time to work on being able to take more hits, so long as she stayed strong overall she could allow her physical hits to suffer a bit especially since she could throw a lot more of them with all of her speed most other people. For a moment Meria thought she saw GOku's hand waver slightly when she had sent a sudden burst of collected energy into the laser and that had renwed her vigor for this little training exercise.

All too suddenly Meria felt her laser falter as Goku moved his arm sharply causing the laser to be sent off course, the blast kept on doing until it hit a tree which was vaporized upon impact from all of the energy she had collected into the attack. Rather impressed with her handiwork Meria stared at the ash coating the ground where the tree had once been. Goku too seemed a bit impressed having only meant to have Merias attack fly off elsewhere so they could work on soemthing new. "Alright, I know you were pretty determined to move my hand but we cant spend all day on that. Perhaps after I teach you the Kaioken you can give it another try?" Goku said with a grin to which he received a nod from a slightly diasapointed Meria.

While she disliked the fact that she had to end the training that she felt she had just started to get good at Meria knew that Goku probably knew what was best and now had a bit more food for thought as apparently the Kaioken was just as she had requested. Now she could only wonder what it did? Did it make her overall more powerful or simply strengthen her energy? Regardless she couldn't wait. “Alright, now I want you to just keep firing energy blasts at both of my hands. any blast you form in your right hand will be sent at my right and the left to my left. This is going to be about speed so once you get a good flow going I’m going to start up also and your going to have to keep up with me.” Goku said giving Meria a grin as she seemed to realize just what that entailed.

“A..alright.” Meria said rather nervously, it was rather obvious to her what Goku was planning, him attacking back meant that she would have to go even faster to keep up with him for fear of being hit with one of his ki blasts which in all honestly could probably kill her(again) by accident if he didn’t keep his power in check. Taking a deep breath and shaking her shoulders slightly Meria would take up a comfortable position a few feet back from Goku as she prepared for the next step of the training. “Whenever your ready.” Goku said as he too prepared himself though all he seemed to do was put out his hands like targets.

Meria would take a deep breath and then slowly begin launching blasts of ki, she decided it would be best to start off slow so that she could eventually work up to shooting faster, all she really needed was for Goku to give ehr the time to build up speed.

Goku watched patiently as Meria began slowly launching her attacks, he was a bit glad she chose the way she was doing as it meant she was far less likely to hurt herself by accident by launching a blast at her own arm. “Just tell me when you want me to start.” Goku would say as he watched.

Meria grinned slightly at Goku’s words, they were exactly what she had hoped that he would say as it meant she had all the time she needed to get herself to a point where she believed she could handle trying to match up with Goku’s blasts.

Post by ~/\Meria/\~ on Mar 12, 2010 0:58:37 GMT -5
Slowly but surely Meria's attacks began getting faster and faster as her confidence grew more and more, eventually she was launching more attacks than she could properly keep up with and was forced to slow herself down a bit.

Post by ~/\Meria/\~ on Mar 12, 2010 0:58:58 GMT -5
Once she got back to a point where she was going fast but was still able to keep up with herself Meria took a breath, now was the time to tell Goku to start. “Alright. I’m ready.” She said preparing herself for the worst as she continued attacking relentlessly.

Goku was a bit impressed with how quickly Meria had decided she was ready to start going up against him, he was also a bit impressed with her speed, while he could rather easily see everything she was doing someone on par with Meria might not be so lucky. “Alright then!” Goku said cheerfully as he began lobbing very weak(for him) energy blasts at Meria.

Meria groaned slightly at the fact that Goku’s blasts were not initially matching up with her own but with a few quick reactions Meria was able to begin matching up her blasts to his however once she had done so Goku’s smirk seemed to only widen further as he started speeding up. Evidently his starting speed was her comfortable speed. Perfect.

Meria sighed as she was forced to increase her pace to match with Goku, already her arms were beginning to tire from the amount of time in whcih they had spent doing all of this training but she refused to give up. This is what would make her stronger and so she needed to put her all into it or else she’d never find a way back to the land of the lving.

Goku grinned as a determine look flashed across Merias face as she increased her pace to keep up with his own, he had worried for a moment that perhaps he was going a bit to hard with her and maybe he should slow it down a bit to give her a bit of a break but evidently that was not needed and thus rather than slowing Goku just kept on speeding up.

As Meria and Goku continued there training Meria felt an odd pressure building up inside herself, it was a very strange feeling as if some of her energy was just blocked off from the rest of herself, not wanting to unintentionally hold back against Goku Meria began attempting to access this energy while still trying to maintain her concentration on Goku.

Goku raised an eyebrow as Meria seemed to be a bit distracted, it wasn’t exactly an obvious distraction but it simply seemed as if she wasn’t putting her all into matching him, not wanting to lose her interest Goku kicked up the speed a bit getting Meria's almost immediate full attention.

Meria scowled slightly at Goku’s rapid increase in speed, she didn’t want to pause the training so she could attempt to access the energy but evidently it seemed that Goku had noticed she was splitting her attention, with a sigh Meria continued focusing on Goku while at the same time still trying to access the energy.

Rather suddenly meria found a way to get to the blocked off energy and in a rush the energy exploded around her and with it came an adrenaline boost like no other, Meria found herself able to more easily keep up with Goku who also seemed to note her new increase in power. For the next several minutes Goku would keep on increasing his speed until finally he got to a point where Meria could no longer keep up even with her new-found power.

After the speed training was complete Meria released the new power and then promptly collapsed onto the ground no long able to feel her highly overworked arms and her supply of energy sufficiently drained.

Meria would groan slightly as she slowly began to awaken several hours after having passed out. Thankfully for her Goku had taken pity on her and moved her closer to the hut before going out to do a bit of training with Vegeta.
