Welcome to Gaia! ::

Day 2:
As Protagoras had promised, they started bright and early the next morning. Protagoras was wide awake, in fact, he had already gotten in an hour of warm ups and another hour of strength training. Zenith, in contrast, had not remembered ever being up this early and was still half asleep. Protagoras, for reason unknown to Zenith, believed that it was a good idea to give Zenith an hour of what he called 'warm ups' which consisted of all sorts of moves that pushed even one with the physical ability of Zenith to the limit. Then, Protagoras went right back into yesterday's lesson, firing the beam at the practice dummy. Zenith was so tired that it took him a couple of tries to even get the flame started up, and still, he was unable to turn it into a beam. After at least another hour of watching Zenith try and fail, he decided another tact was in order. Something that had always helped out Zenith back when he was in training the first time, he explained the technique to Zenith again, this time, he used a much more condescending tone, as if talking to a small child, this time. Zenith grew angry, then, Protagoras shouted, "fire the beam at that dummy NOW!!" Zenith's rage exploded and he was able to fire a strong beam to take down that dummy, not only did he do that, he blew it up entirely. Protagoras had Zenith try the beam a few more times until he could hit it 5 times in a row at a perfect energy level. Protagoras did not even take the slightest of breaks and went for a more complex maneuver, he fired a pulse of energy from the gauntlet, entirely unseen, but it cause the training dummy to wobble as if it where in the middle of an unbelievable tremor. Zenith could not manage to come even close to what Protagoras could do. Protagoras tried provoking Zenith, but still, Zenith could not manage the complexities behind the technique. Eventually, Protagoras decided to break for lunch. He gave Zenith some odd food from his home planet. Upon taking a bite, Zenith suddenly could remember things from his home planet, not much, but it was a start. When they got back to training, the energy from the gauntlet recoiled on Zenith and knocked him down. Then he realized something, his memories came flooding back and he remembered the move. He perfectly imitated Protagoras's move on command. Protagoras then moved on to one more move that added to Zenith's great strength, a sort of aura-empowered punch. Zenith immediately picked up on the move, he remembered how to use the gloves entirely. Protagoras moved on to another item, a strange mechanical device that attached to his arm. Protagoras used this to amplify his powers. Zenith, however, could not get the hang of this move. The sun was going down, so Protagoras called it quits for the day, making sure Zenith knew they where starting at the same time tomorrow.

Day 4
This day, they once again got up a dawn, however, Zenith was more prepared this time. They went through some more rigorous training, but this time Zenith showed much better response and much better preparedness. They reviewed everything they had gone over in the past few days with ease. Then they returned to the circuit system. Zenith tried time and time again to get the exact range to use this until, after more than an hour or so of trying, he found the exact range of energy to put into this device and it caused the ground to shake. He did this a few more times, increasing the focus of energy until the shakes evolved into large tremors. Then, Protagoras moved on to another use of this item, this was to create the pulses within something to break armor and destroy even some of the most powerful barriers. Zenith tried the range that he had used before, but due to how precise this technique was, he could not get the exact concentration or the exact range to put into this. Zenith was trying at this for quite some time to no avail. Protagoras then got an idea, since Zenith had seemed to master the previous techniques with such ease by actually associating it with something in his past, maybe he could do the same thing here. Protagoras ran off and grabbed two large metal swords, one of which was broken in half. The one that was broken was actually something that Zenith had done in his past, the second was taken from a recent conquest and was of the same construction of the first. Protagoras carefully placed it in an odd position in the hands of one of the training dummies. Protagoras then ordered Zenith to break the sword using the pulse. Zenith tried a couple of times, every time he failed, the sword bounced back, sometimes hitting Zenith, sometimes missing. Eventually memories came rushing back to Zenith and he placed both hands on the sword after dodging its path once more. He shot the pulse into it and it broke perfectly in half. Zenith then repeated this technique on varying targets to show his mastery of it. Protagoras was pleased, he had nothing more to train Zenith in, and it was still fairly early in the afternoon. They decided to go back to the Black Light Bar and show his new found power.
