As Kazuro descended so did Vegetra, wrapping her tail firmly around her waist as she lowered her gaze to watch him. Her own boots hit the ground with small 'tct' sounds, and she cracked her neck to the left and right before he started walking towards her training ground. Just what was going on? Was there a threat or not? What was the real reason for him being here? There were no answers to her questions however as he spoke, sitting down on a nearby rock. The princess however remained standing, having followed him before stopping a few feet away from where he stopped. Confusion crossed her face, but was quickly wiped away with annoyance as she was unable to piece together his intentions on her mind.
"Why in the world would you be stuck here? Whatever it was you sensed is gone or hiding because the coward knows it can't beat us, so what's stopping you from going back? I can take care of myself," Vegetra then started to walk passed him, dropping her fists to her sides as he started across the training field. "Regardless I do have food in my hut, but why should I share it with you? All you've done is refuse to spar with me like a man and mocked me, I see no reason to show charity to you."

He would give a slight sigh. "In your condition, and without me being here, I fear that the threat may return, if he has merely left or disappeared." He would speak towards the female as he would keep the place he would sit. "My training was not on a ground or in a stadium or arena, it was through a rough life. Slavery and torture were my teachers. My masters were my trainers, and my determination was my strength. I don't fight unless I have something to fight for." He spoke as he didn't even turn his head, but seemed to look onwards, towards the horizon, watching the setting sun slowly sink into the ocean as he was lost in his memories.

"Let him come," Vegetra immediately barked out of reflex, spinning to face him with her teeth grinding. Still despite her anger she knew he was right, it was just a blow to her pride for her to admit it. Shaking a little she closed her eyes and took a deep breath in order to make herself relax, then turned her back on the angel once more. "Tcht, fine. But you owe me," Vegetra relented in a way that suited her. Maybe she'd be able to get some training out of him after all, if he was going to be staying here he needed to do his part. There was no way he was just going to sit here protecting her from some ghost she'd ever even sensed the power of. Starting to walk again, she replied to what he had continued to say.
"Even though I'm achieving power through different means doesn't mean that I'm fighting only for myself. I have the pride of my royal bloodline to uphold, and loved ones to protect should they get in danger. Those are the reasons I train, the same exact reasons why when the time comes I will fight. The stronger I am when the time comes the better able I will be to deal with it! That's why I want to be the strongest in the universe, not only to better myself but to protect my family. I'm sure you can relate to that."

He would nod hearing her words. "I am very familiar with such goals and reasons. Many of such are the reasons on how I was able to attain this strength. I fought for my homeland and family. I fought to protect them. I've fought to try to keep the peace... but in the end.... I've failed. My lands are barren now, and my family has all but forgotten me, leaving me alone to suffer my fate. If it weren't for Ral'Tack, I'd give up on continuing my life." He would withdraw his sword and he would begin to scratch at the ground with his newly forged blade hewn from a single pure diamond as he sat in his thoughts. He clearly frowned as he remembered his heartbreaks, and he didn't do so much as lift his head from looking downwards, trying to look occupied with whatever he was scratching in the dirt.

Coming to a stop halfway across the training field, Vegetra bowed her head and sighed. She couldn't relate personally with his story, but her family history mirrored it in a way. Her grandfather's home world had been destroyed by Frieza, then his new one destroyed by Sauron Broly. After the first major battle with Majin her mother had been betrayed in Hell and had to deal with that accordingly, then Majin destroyed their entire universe. Even though they'd made a home on Arccus it wasn't the same, having to keep themselves weak so they could be babied by the gods... That's why she'd left, to be able to handle threats herself without needing them for protection. Turning to face him, she watched him for a moment as he scratched at the ground with his blade. It really ate at him, and in a way she felt bad for him. She couldn't show it though, not openly at least, so she turned back towards the hut.
"Come on, let's get something to eat. After that we'll talk about what you owe me, perhaps you can help keep me from sharing your fate."

He would sheathe his sword and he would gracefully move to stand from where he would be sitting. "Thank you." He lowered his head in gratitude before he would begin to follow her towards the hut. His armor and swords chimed as he walked, as if he were wearing heavy armor, though it wasn't very heavy for him to carry. He surely didn't want anyone to share his fate, so whatever payment she had in store for him, he wouldn't mind, hearing her purpose and realizing that there may be an ounce of kindness behind that haughty brat.

Once they made it inside the hut, he could see how crudely made it was. It would stand up to the elements sure, but wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination. Inside it was very simple without any walls, on one side was a small bed and on the other an enormous pot with enough stew inside of it to feed an entire extended family at a reunion. This certainly wasn't the setting for royalty, but Vegetra's done what she could with what she had. Besides it wasn't like she was going to take over the Earth, there was no need to try and build an elaborate castle when she'd only be here to train for a while before moving on to find somewhere better. In fact she would've already left Earth if it wasn't for the fact she'd met Kazuro, if he was that strong it would only be a matter of time before she'd find another warrior to train against... That was her train of thought, at least.
"Let's see..." Vegetra muttered, opening a door that led underground before vanishing into it. A moment later she emerged with a bowl and spoon she'd created from stone for him, shutting the door before pouring some of the stew into it and handing it to him. After that she leaned against the wall, crossing her arms over her chest to give him a chance to start eating. She wasn't quite ready to eat herself, that's why she wasn't gorging just yet.
"So, after what I've said do you understand why I wanted you to train me?"

He would watch her grab a bowl and spoon, and serve him some of the stew that was readily available. He would nod in gratitude towards her before he would also take a seat next o her on the bed. He listened to her question before taking a moment of silence to think on what to say in response. "I am half inclined to train you, but the problem rests in my lack of knowledge on how to train you." He spoke truthfully, for he knew how to stay his blade for sure, but accidents may happen, and he didn't want to land a fatal blow to Vegetra, but he also didn't want to give her the false security that he was easily beaten. "My training methods may be a little unorthodox for your taste, but I may be able to come up with something." He spoke once more after a little thought, taking another spoonful of the stew into his mouth. A few minutes later, he would finish his meal. "We'll start training at first light. You will need to be well rested before you can do any training with me."

Watching Kazuro from her spot on the wall, she let him ponder his response while he sat on her bed. It didn't bother her that he sat there, it wasn't like she had tables and chairs for company to sit at. Besides, though it wasn't as comfortable she could just rest in the healing tank anyway. Sure she didn't necessarily need its healing, but it was better to be asleep inside of that than one of them being on the floor. She had to be nice after all, if this was going to work out and he was going to train her. As much as she wanted things her way, she understood his position better now and wasn't going to just try to get what she wanted out of the arrangement without anything in return.
When he started to answer, she tilted her head and blinked. He didn't know how to train her, what did he mean by that? Either way he quickly followed up with saying how he'd try to come up with something then started to eat. She smirked a little then looked up at the ceiling as she enthusiastically thought Yes! Now finally I'll be able to push myself to the absolute limit! Trying not to chuckle, she looked back at him when he told her that their training began in the morning and nodded.
"Of course, the quicker it starts the quicker you're rid of me once I complete it," she teased, walking away from the wall now to the center of the room where she spun to face him again with a grin. "I'll be sure not to disappoint you, after all I'm a lot tougher than I look. Now then, do you need any more food or can I go ahead and finish the pot?" The question may seem odd to him, since there was enough stew there for over 40 people... Was she going to eat it all at once?

He would nod in response to her question. "I don't care." Giving her the go ahead to eat her fill of the food that was prepared. He had seen her eat before, and he wanted to make sure that she was satisfied with her meal. "My training may be a little strange to you, but I'll do my best to teach you the way I've been taught, though, without the slavery, the torture, the heartache that I've been put through. Your road won't be so dark." He spoke to her politely, himself not wanting anyone to have to suffer through what he went through.

As soon as she was given permission by the angel, Vegetra immediately began to scarf down the food and devour more than a bowlful a moment straight out of the pot. Several minutes later she was finishing it, holding the giant pot up while tipping it back to drink what was left in the bottom of it. After that she set it down and promptly reached for a napkin, wiping off the broth before tossing it aside then quickly washing the pot. Once that was finished she immediately threw several ingredients into the pot so she could make bacon and eggs soup for the morning. Making sure the flame was still lit for it to slowly cook overnight, she covered the pot then stretched, popping her neck to the left and right before turning to him as he spoke. She nodded a little, crossing her arms over her chest as she tilting her head a little. Unconventional training huh? Well, as long as it worked who was she to argue.
"No problem, I look forward to it, there's just two things I need to address real quick," Vegetra began, her confident attitude fading slightly with a serious tone taking its place. "First, throughout the training to get the most of out of it I need to be a Super Saiyan, so I can get used to the strain of the form which will allow me to use it without draining energy and allow me to grow stronger quicker. So if I try to drop out of it I need to be reprimanded, dropping from the form can ruin the training. Second, due to the power of the form some tasks may be too easy on Earth due to its low gravity, so if that's the case it might be beneficial to use other planets with higher gravity as well. Those things alright with you?"

He would nod in response to her condition as he listened. "Allright. Those terms are easily met. However, during your training, you must accept to follow my orders under any circumstances. You are not to fight during your training, no matter how strong the temptation. During your training, you are putting your life into my hands, and I will do my best to uphold the other end of the bargain by protecting you. In return, that condition is met by doing anything I order you to do, even if the task seems small and menial. This is the way I was taught, even though at the time, I was actually enslaved, and I won't put you under that due to my own personal feelings about the issue. This is how I was trained, and I believe I may be able to tweak it, so it may be a good way to train those who wish to train under me as well in the future." He spoke in all seriousness as he rose from the bed where he sat and he would begin to walk out of the hut. "Rest well and don't worry about me. I'll be just meditating." He spoke as he began to walk out of the hut and into the night.

No sooner than when he agreed did Vegetra's smirk return, though it faltered as soon as he said however. He laid out a bunch of rules, much of it she agreed with but other parts of it she did not. Of course as his pupil it'd be his responsibility to keep her alive, and she'd expected that the training wouldn't all be on the battlefield but for her not to fight at all?!
"B-but!!" the princess began, then her eyes fell to the ground as she grit her teeth. He obviously didn't mean that they wouldn't spar, but was referring to her going out on her own without his permission right? After all building strength wasn't all there was to training, and there was no way the angel was as strong as he was without knowing that... Right? What other choice did she have though, she was the one asking to be trained and though her pride was hurt by the mere notion of being under someone's control that was the best way to handle the situation right? So, after a moment of silence she let out a long and aggravated sigh before looking up at him and nodding.
"Fine. Whatever works," she said coolly, then watched as he walked outside. It also worked with his next comment as well, so she just nodded then went to change into her nightwear. It was violet silk, loose pants with a button up shirt that had the Coston crest over her left breast. After stretching she curled up onto the bed, burying herself under the covers before falling asleep...

During the night, Kazuro began to work on the area surrounding the two. He would clear the mechanical rigging for the training grounds and enclose the arena with a dome of sorts, putting a magical ward in the dome, making the dome nearly indestructible from physical blows, magical or energy attacks, or what have you. The only way to break down this dome is by removing stones piece by piece. He would also waste no time to move a few heavy boulders around the area, so they can be gathered and moved. He would then grab a few vines and begin making them into rope. He would be hard at work over the course of the night, however, he worked in silence. He didn't want Vegetra to have any clue on what he was doing. He also grabbed a few tools from the shed and laid them in a pile near where there was a spot for a hole to be dug. The light of dawn would soon approach, and Kazuro was showing signs of fatigue from his work, so the angel moved himself to sit down on the ground, crossing his legs. He would close his eyes as he would begin to meditate. He didn't hum or make any noise while doing so. He just let his mind wander in a dreamlike state. A large stick was in his hands and a small knife was laying near where the angel sat, but unseen or felt to anyone except Kazuro, he did keep his electrical aura up in case there were any sneak attacks from either Vegetra or any enemy.

Finally, the princess's time had come! Opposite her in the ring was her grandfather Gullwing Vegeta, panting as he glared at her through the narrowed eyes of the legendary Super Saiyan 5. Her own blue hair swayed gently as she stood tall, various scrapes bruises and cuts across her body not seeming to bother the Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan. Her father was in much worse shape, blood dripping from the various wounds he'd suffered while she basked in the cheers of the thousands in attendance at the arena. With a smirk on her face she rose her hand towards Gullwing Vegeta, a violet ball of ki forming in her palm as she chuckled. "Guess I finally am the strongest Saiyan in history, aren't I gramps?!" Vegetra proclaimed, then fired the ball of ki before the explosion that followed filled her vision with darkness. With a groan the princess stirred in her bed, rubbing her eyes before gazing towards the newly sunlit window. Why did her dream have to end now damn it?! She'd finally been able to experience what the fruits of her training- "Crap!!" She cried out, shoving the covers to the side as she leaped out of bed. She was supposed to get up and out by dawn and it was now the middle of the morning. Not even looking at the pot filled with breakfast she dashed to the door going downstairs, slipping through quickly as she tossed her pajamas whichever direction was fastest. Rushing into her gi, its belt was sloppily tied with one of her pant legs higher than the other as she jumped up then darted towards the door without even closing the door downstairs. Ignoring how her gi was hanging off her shoulder, she ran through the door while closing it with her tail behind her to keep from wasting anymore time. Her rush quickly came to a halt however, as she noticed just how different her training area had become. "What did he..." Vegetra muttered, eyes falling on her dummies that had been laid to the side. A dome was dimly visible, nearly transparent, probably to allow for shows of strength without destroying the area. Various boulders and tools lay scattered throughout the arena, and in the middle of it all sat the "meditating" Kazuro. Instantly Vegetra's hair spiked up into the golden locks of a Super Saiyan, nearly instantly the flash overtaking the area, Running to him, she stood at attention and gulped, trying to hid her nervousness as she tensed herself. She was in for it for sure... "Sorry for waking up late..." she said quietly, trying not to visibly flinch. After a moment she realized... Was he asleep? Blinking, she relaxed and slowly tiptoed closer to him. Sure enough his breathing was the quiet rhythm associated with sleeping, and she reached forward to nudge him to make sure. Before her fingers could reach him however, her stomach roared due to not having eaten yet. Holy crap, if that didn't wake him...
