He feels as if his body is nowhere near the level it should be at for a great fighter. He has the skill... he has the power... but he lacks something... he contemplates what he is lacking while he continues doing pushups on the tiled flooring of the arena.

"What is it? I know there's something I need to acquire to make myself in to an even deadlier warrior. It's so obvious... I know it... but I can't put my finger on it... damn..." His expression shows his focus as he tries to think through his little problem, all the while doing pushups on the ground.

Cajabe pauses, and raises his feet up in to the air, doing a hand-stand. From this position, he continues his push-ups... only slightly more intense this time. But he seems to be coping well enough. "Think, Cajabe... think..."

Cajabe starts to think over what he has learned in all this time, still push-upping... "So I have four techniques... one of which I created myself... and one of which I may alter some day or other in to something unique of my own, too. But my techniques are not where my fault lies... plus, I intend to learn more when the time comes..."

He watches his arms move as he lowers and raises himself in his hand-stand, with feet pointing up to the skies and held together. "I see strength in these arms... I feel strength in these arms... so what's missing?"

He takes one hand from the ground, and places it behind his back, with fist clenched. Now on just one hand, Cajabe continues working out on his push-up routine. "Well, the longer I spend thinking this out, the more pumped my upper body's gonna get... so no loss, really... I can think all day until the tournament starts."

His expression tenses to show minor frustration... "Damnit, I still can't understand what's missing... how long have I been here thinking and training? And yet I still don't understand it?! Gah!" He lets out a quiet 'tsch' sound, and carries on with his one-handed hand-stand push-up routine.

Taking a break from thinking about his problem, Cajabe just focuses on his training... and soon decides to switch arms... and to do this, he throws himself up slightly and switches while in mid-air... before catching himself with the new arm... and then continuing from there on.

After some more time, another switch... and then another switch... Cajabe decides to think about his conundrum again... "What is it? Cajabe... come on... you know it's simple... it's so simple... but why can't you see it? If you don't see this, how will you ever become the greatest?"

"There is no room for weakness. I will become the strongest... I will become the greatest... I will become absolutely, totally and utterly, unstoppable! All shall fear me for my power!" He smirks a little, motivated by his little thought process, even though it got him nowhere toward an answer.

"If only there were more time to test my abilities in battle with somebody, before I faced these idiots here. They may probably all be idiots, but I'm sure one or two might actually be a decent challenge." He thinks as he continues his work out.

Cajabe pushes himself up, and claps his hands together twice before switching to catch himself with the other hand. "That made it slightly harder..." He comments, having stopped with his previous train of thought.

"Maybe I should try something different..." He lowers himself down... takes a moment... and then pushes himself up to do 10 backflips before landing back on his hands again. "That was cool." He grins.

He prepares for another, and pushes himself up for it... and just like last time, he did about 10 backflips before landing to his hands again. "Hehe..." "I should stop playing around, though... even if this does make me stronger. Training's not a game."

Cajabe returns to his good old one-handed hand-stand push-up routine, and all the while he considers just what he needs to work on next. If only he could figure it out... if only... no matter how obvious it is... he just can't see it! "Damnit..."

"Wait..." He pauses mid-push-up... eyes slightly widened... he thinks he may have realized it... "My speed!" He throws himself from the floor and lands to his feet. "How could I have missed that?!"

Gozu has been flying on his Nimbus for a while now. Enough to recover most of the energy he lost while training. Gozu surveys the arena as he approaches and sees Cajabe training by himself on the arena. Gozu squints. "Is..that a tail?" He asks as from this height all the can see is something brown wrapped around his waist much like his own tail is wrapped around his. Gozu slows down his nimbus and moves in a for a closer look. If Cajabe were to look up he'd see Gozu easy.

Cajabe lowers his position toward the floor, crouching... and dashes from one corner of the arena to the other. "Exactly... too slow!" He knows that it's possible to move so fast you disappear for a split second... his speed is not at that level, sadly. Cajabe did not notice Gozu, with being wrapped up too much in his training.

In the corner of Cajabe's vision, he spots what seems to be some yellow cloud thing, but ignores it, and continues paying attention to himself. "I'll need to somehow raise my speed immensely before the match starts... which will be tough..." He looks down at his feet, disappointed.

Gozu still can't tell whether or not Cajabe is Saiyan or not. "Where am I?" He wonders as he does a circle of the arena seeing other fighters just milling around. Then he sees the 2 statues one of some guy with a fro and the other someone with hair like Gozu.

Gozu flies over to the statue and hops off his cloud looking up at the statue with the hair like his. "Could this be?" He looks around for a name. There on the base under the feet it simply reads "Goku" "So that means I'm at the World Tournament Arena. I've heard stories that means these fighters are contestants."

Gozu walks over the other statue of the guy with the fro. "So now who is this?" Gozu asks he looks for the name plate. "Hercule?....Isn't that the goofball who said he beat Cell? Why is he here?" Gozu asks as he can't remember a story that would rate Hercule a statue.

Gozu surveys the area surprised that no on had asked him to leave yet. "I can't believe that I missed out on the World Tournament." Gozu says disappointed. "Would have been amazing to fight in the same tournament that Goku fought in." Gozu says with a look towards his ancestor.

Cajabe looks back toward the corner he just dashed from, crouches, and dashes straight back at it. But sadly... he wasn't fast enough to 'disappear' during his movement. Skidding to a halt, Cajabe cursed his inability. "This is a major weakness indeed..."

From the Hercule statue still. Gozu turns his attention to the fighter in the arena dashing back and forth and then skidding to a halt. Man that guy's hardcore. He'd better be careful otherwise he'll be tired for the tournament.

Gozu stands there for a few more minutes before getting bored just watching some guy run around. He walks over to his nimbus which had been patiently waiting by the Goku statue. Gozu hops on and flies away the wind pushing his hair back as he leaves the arena.

Cajabe quits dashing for a while and rests, to regain his stamina. He doesn't intend on wearing himself out much before the tournament... this training is supposed to be 'light' last-minute stuff. He simply stands there, contemplating how to gain speed in such a short period of time. Sadly, he thinks of nothing.
OOC: Leaving later than I thought, but only staying for a few minutes more.

Still with absolutely no idea how to raise his speed, Cajabe starts dashing around from corner to corner of the arena again. He would sharply change direction and immediately dash the opposite way each time he hit a corner, so there would be no gaps, and the activity would be more stressful on Cajabe's body.

Backwards, forwards, back and forth and back and forth, but Cajabe's speed was only rising in the tiniest of increments... barely noticeable at all. This frustrated Cajabe, and only made him wish to push on for longer, and to exert himself harder.

It just never seemed to work... Cajabe forced hismelf on and on, probably looking crazy for doing so, but he just couldn't master the 'after image' technique at all. "Must I be so SLOW?!" He raged within his mind at his weakness.
