>>5734489Over the next hour or so, you and Freeza spar in the heavy gravity. Each punch and kick is significantly harder to throw, Freeza's attacks like meteors smashing into you. But you keep working on your Djem So style, deflecting his attacks the best you can and countering with heavy strikes of your own. Some attacks are far easier to stop, the gravity aiding you as you knock his blows aside. But any overhead attack forces you to planet your feet and absorb it, taking those fast attacks head-on. Neither of you can use any fancy tricks or the Su Ma's evasive style in such an oppressive atmosphere, but very quickly the former emperor starts picking up how your Djem So works. Even copying some of your own counters, using them against you and getting in several devastating counters.
Each minute feels like an hour, but once the timer set for just over an hour expires, the heavy gravity starts fading away. By that point both you and Freeza were down on the ground, each struggling to catch your breath as the pressure on your chest starts disappearing.
“That was something else. I hadn't thought much of the Djem So form, when father told me of it.” Freeza says through heaving breaths, the two of you completely exhausted. “But it suits you rather well.”
“Thanks.” I learned it when the Su Ma didn't really work anymore.” you tell him, and now that the gravity's returned to New Salda's normal push yourself upright, walking over to where Freeza fell and offer him a hand. “I'm a bit too big for it when I transform.”
“I'd say you most certainly are.” the emperor replies, accepting your hand and allowing you to help him upright. “This more power-based technique is far more suited to someone of your power and stature. Now, let us wash the day off of ourselves.”
“Agreed.” you say, the two of you leaving the gravity chamber behind and washing up once more. Washing all the sweat and blood off of yourselves, as each of you bloodied the other in that spar. But once you've washed up, realize you still have some time before Silver would have another meal ready.
