Now inside the tower, the Namekian guard would approach Guru as Nai stood beside him, taking a knee in respect as he speaks....
"Father Guru.... There is some alien female outside who claims that you sent for her.... She also claims to know the mighty Nai.... I know it is some form of a trick.... But brother insisted I ask you for your guidance on the matter...."
Meanwhile, outside the tower, Ava just floats in the air in a crossed leg position, about 3 feet off the ground...
"Wow... I guess there's one in every bunch.... Even the Namekians..... At least he didn't have a scouter... Haha.... Or he would have really been pissed...."

Shen dashes up to the chamber, but he's so focused and excited about getting money that he notices Ava and waves with a huge smile on his face, she might think he's overly excited to see her. He bows to the bodyguard who recognizes him. He proceeds inwards and steps onto the platform and it raises, bringing him face to face with Guru, Nai and a few bodyguards. He takes a few steps forward.
"Nai!" Shen waves, enthusiastically. "How've you been?"

"Hello Shen," Nai responds, wondering what brings him up here. "I'm doing fine. What brings you up here?" He remains standing, arms crossed.

"I need money..." Shen just says, with a little less enthusiasm. "Could you spare me just a little bit? I need a sword to cut my food with but I'm far from affording one right now." He scratches the back of his head, showing his guilt for asking money.

Nai nods. "This'll keep you occupied for awhile. Come back if you ever need more. Don't be afraid," he then says, his voice still lacking any sort of emotion. He throws 5,000 zenie at Shen.
Guru then interrupts. "For being my bodyguard, you get paid 5,000 zenie a day for every day I am safe. Here is your pay for yesterday." Guru then gives Nai 5,000 zenie.
"Also Shen," Nai continues, "if you need something sharp, take this." He reaches into his sash and pulls out a small metal rod. He tosses it to Shen. "It's a sword. Press the button and a strong blade will come out. It'll be better than anything you find in the shop."

Shen catches the money. Realizing how much it is, he jumps, shouting in joy. He puts the zenie in his jacket pockets. "Wow Nai! This will last me forever! Thanks!"
But then Nai tosses him the laser sword. He follows the directions and presses the button, watching in awe at the laser coming out. He swings it around and it leaves traces of energy behind. He touches it and feels a very painful burning sensation. "OOOOOWWWWW!" he shouts. He blows air on his finger.
"Thanks Nai!"
Shen goes back into the platform and it sinks. He dashes out, waving to Ava along the way looking even happier than when he came by. He heads right for home.

"Nai," Guru looks towards him. "Do you sense that?" "I am afraid not, Guru. What happened?" he responds. "The threat on Earth has been eliminated. It seems that your Saiyan ally transformed and was able to finish the fight." Nai nods and smiles. "That's good. It seems like my work wasn't for nothing. It also seems like I've found a permanent ally in the days to come." "Indeed Nai."
Guru looks back in front of him. Nai remains standing and looks straight as well.

Nai appears, inside of Guru's chamber. "How did you enjoy your recent training Nai?" Guru asks. "It was helpful. Piccolo taught me what I needed to know, and I learned kaioken from Goku himself. I learned a useful move in demon world as well." "Good, Nai. You're almost ready."
|

Post by Nai on Jun 6, 2009 11:18:51 GMT -5
"Almost?" Nai asks. "I'm still not done?" "You need to refine your moves, Nai. You must also teach Shen kaioken, and any other arts you feel he should know. Once this is done, you can stand by my side until you think you need to leave." "Ok, Guru." Nai senses for Shen's ki. As soon as he finds it, he flickers out of view.

Nai flies to the entrance of the chamber. He does his usual bowing routine before going up into Guru's chamber. He stands off the platform and he simply waits wait for Shen.

Shen makes it to the guru's chamber. He bows as well and he works his way up into the chamber. He steps off the platform, now next to Nai. Guru then speaks.
"Shen, you are now ready for your next step. It is time you learn the kaioken technique. I will not have Nai teach it to you however. I will have the inventor of the technique, North Kai himself, teach it to you. He will be able to tell you why you need to know it."
Shen nods.

"Guru," Nai then calls for his attention. "What do I need to do?" "You are all set, Nai. You may do as you please. I will inform you that you still have not unlocked the full power of the Ancient Way. You still have a habit of killing. You must only kill if you know your enemy will come back to destroy you. Otherwise, you must learn to disable your opponent from battle."

Shen still remembers how badly Nai killed those Saiyans that terrorized him. Guru then speaks further,
"Nai, I will need you to lock onto North Kai's ki signature. I told him to reveal it so you can sense it. Nai, Shen, come closer to me."
Shen then walks forward, within arm's reach of Guru.

Nai also walks forward within arm's reach of Guru. Guru then places his arm on Nai's head. "Close your eyes, Nai."
Nai does so. He can sense a strange ki signal. "Take Shen with you and teleport to that ki signal. Then come back here. Then, once he's done, take him to yardrat so he can use your spaceship to travel." Nai nods. Grabbing Shen, he teleports to North Kai's planet.

Hearing Guru, Shen waits patiently as Nai grabs him. Within the next instant, he disappears. He'll be on north kai's planet in the next instant. The kaioken technique... What is it, and how will it save me?

Nai lands at the entrance of the chamber. Him and the Namekians bow to each other, and Nai proceeds into Guru's room. "Hello Nai. How may I help you today?" Guru asks. "It's about the power the Ancient Way is giving me," Nai responds.

"Ah, I think you're just about ready." "What do you mean?" Nai asks, now curious. "These past few months, you have shown great progress. You truly are different from before." "What do you mean?" Nai asks. Change is so gradual that you don't notice it; someone has to point it out for you.

"You have taken full responsibility for training Shen, and you continue to work at it when you can. You have stopped acting like a brutal killer, and you don't pick fights you can't win. I was very impressed with how you handled yourself on Earth," Guru says. "Thanks," Nai responds. Any ordinary person would blush.

"You've served me the best you can, and that's all I ask of you right now. Soon, I will allow you to make your own decisions. But for now, I absolutely need you. I don't know when I won't need you anymore-" "I'm always willing to help. Because of you, I have not become just a thing of the past like my ancestors."

"Not only that," Nai continues, "but it was you who suggested I go to Earth to become stronger. At Earth, I learned many important things, and above all, my experiences there have allowed me to conquer the Ancient Way, which only Nail has done. I am his successor, and for the time being, I believe I have no other goal," Nai plainly says. Too bad he can't really put his heart into it because he's not very emotional.

"Excellent, Nai," Guru applauds. Suddenly, Nai's cape seems to weigh almost nothing. He can feel his ki level suddenly skyrocket but... he's so relaxed. Just like Couric when he was a Full Power Super Saiyan. But... he's actually stronger! Just by a little bit, but that could make the difference.
"You have remastered the Ancient Way, Nai. I believe that now, you no longer need my guidance. It is up to you to find new power, and more answers to your history and ancestry."

"Very well," Nai nods. "Once the answers to the questions of the Changelings' intentions have been found and their plains are foiled, I will go on my own quest to discover the history of my ancestry." "Excellent. Nai, allow me to pay you for this week."
A Namekian bodyguard hands Nai 15,000 zenie. He accepts it.

"What will I do with all this money?" Nai asks. "Update your weights. You can wear heavier clothing now. But remember, should you choose to truly restrict your movements in your current state, you need to make sure you win your battles, no stalemates," Guru warns.

Post by Nai on Jun 9, 2009 21:55:33 GMT -5
"I suggest you buy another article of clothing to make heavy, that way you can effectively choose your training strategy." Nai nods. "I believe at my level I need fifty tons. But this is too heavy... where can I find this weight?" "Not in our galaxy. Only otherworldly fighters become this powerful and require weights."
Nai nods. He leaves the chamber and flies to the shop to get some more clothing.

Gozu transmits just outside of Guru's chamber in front of armed guards who tense up seeing Gozu appear out of nowhere. "What business do you have here?" Gozu speaks in the most nonthreatening voice he can muster. "I'm here to request an audience with Guru."

Post by Gozu on Jun 11, 2009 23:45:16 GMT -5
The guards look at each other and then a voice speaks out from the chamber. "Let him in." The guards open the door and Gozu walks in and sees an elder Namekian on a throne surrounded by guards. Gozu walks up and kneels on one knee. "Guru."

"Arise my child and speak." Gozu stands up and looks at Guru and in a very respectful tone he says. "My name is Gozu and I wish to become on your body guards." Gozu swears he see Guru smile. "Ah yes Gozu descendant of Goku. And the current Savior of the Earth."

Gozu bows respectfully. "Thank you for your kind words Guru but I had help. Without Nai, Julia, and Shiro's help I would have gotten creamed." "And modest to. So tell me young warrior. Why do you want to become one my bodyguards?"

Post by Gozu on Jun 11, 2009 23:59:55 GMT -5
Gozu is silent for a moment before answering and he looks at his the ground. "I need the money. Nai told me I could get a job protecting you." Then Gozu looks up. "I'm ashamed to say it really, but if Namek was ever under attack I would have protected it anyway for free. I feel it's my duty."

Guru is silent for sometime. "You have a good and pure heart Gozu not unlike your ancestor. I deem you worthy of becoming one of my bodyguards and I know you would have protected me anyway." Gozu kneels again dropping to one knee. "Thank you Guru."
