“Sure, go ahead.” she replies, nodding once. “But what are you two planning to do now? You don't look like you can take much more of whatever you did earlier.”
“Don't worry, that's the hardest training of the day.” you tell her, sensing Freeza's immediate relief. “Instead, we'll be sparring.”
“Inside the gravity chamber?” Tatsu and Tomi ask you simultaneously.
“Of course. We'll be at 100x gravity in there, so don't teleport in.” you tell everyone within earshot. “It's tough in there, I don't want anyone getting hurt.”
“One hundred times gravity? That's...” Okira says, counting something on her fingers. “If our gravity's ten times normal, that means... That's a thousand times the average planet's gravity!”
“A thousand?” Maz asks, shocked. “That's a lot.”
“Yes, that is quite a lot.” Freeza says to the children with a smile. “Your father and I both are aiming to be the strongest. And to be the strongest, you must overcome the most difficult of circumstances.”
“Well I'm gonna grow up stronger than either of you!” your youngest, Karn Jr declares. Standing proud, chest out as he points at you both. “I'm gonna work hard and be the best!”
“I know you will.” you tell him, stepping forward and ruffling his golden hair. “And that goes for the rest of you too. We all have to keep working hard, harder than ever to keep getting stronger.”
“YEAH!” your children shout in unity, everyone leaving the mess hall to go to their next training. You and Meloka head off to your waiting students, Freeza telling you he'll stay behind as he has something to handle. As you and your wife arrive, you see your students all waiting eagerly, the oldest students having organized everyone else into groups. You waste no time, getting everyone to work. You and your wife focus on teaching them, the two of you going from group to group, each of you giving advice and help as needed. The hours set aside for their training flies by, you telling them all how proud of their progress you are before sending them on their way. But, as they all start to disperse, Meloka turns to you.
