Indirect Surprise [10x Gravity; Private]

[Frosvite]

[NOTE: Using Weighted Clothing.]

It was another day and another chance for Frosvite to get a little more training to further increase his strength. Unlike the two last times, this time he probably had a little more edge in the entrance process, already knowing how to avoid being spotted and even if he did, Beautiful Bulla would probably not mind one of her close friends using the Gravity chamber. He of course, assumed they were that close. Once again entering the room, the alien had a feeling this time is going to be different, a more effective result than last time's session. There was no need to rush, he had his time there and the more the better, the more he stayed in the room and the harder he trained the more he would have to rest later but on the same term the better the results would be.

Last time he came in the room the Changeling could feel himself wearing out quickly with the rising fatigue in the training process, hopefully this time would be a little easier for him to operate in. He has been exposed to increased gravity twice now and would probably have an easier time adjusting his body and the amount of power required to be expanded to move in comparison and to match the level. This time he had his minds set on a higher level than previously, perhaps even doubling the weight for faster results. "Okay, part one all set. Part two, let's try activating the machine. Around ten times should do this time!!" He declared to himself cheerfully, giving an edge and high spirit before beginning.

Having a little experience with how the machine works, Frosvite came forward and adjusted the level of the gravity to suit him. The level adjusted was ten times and by pressing a single button (and another one by mistake), the gravitation only in the room itself increased and as it did, the orange lizardman's training began with quite the pressure. He was going through it once again, this time on a much harder scale than on the previous two. Steadily rising, he aimed high as the gravity pushed him down.

[Frosvite]

Upon pressing the button and after adjusting correctly, Frosvite could feel the powerful pull of the new gravity pulling him down. He was forced into a bending position, knees half-bent and back feeling heavier than ever. With his hands at his waist level, the Changeling apparently attempted to get back to his balance with only his power supporting him, not knowing yet that this gravity would probably require more than just standing firm like that. "Ack! Ungh!... This is good...!" He told himself, withstanding the power of the pull.

What Frosvite was not aware of though was that when activating the gravity level in the room, he also triggered another device he could might have just used in his previous session, to his advantage really. What he did was activate yet another machine present in the room yet very well camouflaged within the computer's range almost looking like a part of the large metal chunk's body. That machine was made solely for training alone like that in the room, like the orange lizardman himself has been doing at the moment. Purely coincidental, but quite obvious if he was to take a closer look at the control panel.

The machines rose and with a sound of a shot, Frosvite felt his back aching with a sudden burst and burn, a blast sounding very near while the pain began. He withstood the pain yet barely, taking a quick step to his right to avoid yet another one of those apparently yellow laser-like beams that resembled Ki. Turning to look at what exactly shot him, the turbaned Changeling found in the air hovering three spheres with a spikes coming out of their tops and a yellow light in the middle of their body. "Oh boy..." He told to himself, taking a look at the two spheres that just hovered there.

[Frosvite]

As he caught the two spheres in his sight, Frosvite realized that unlike his previous training, this one is not going to be leaving him without scratches. He already had the injury on his back, now he has to try avoiding any more burns like that one. Hopefully he can manage to dodge from their lasers for long enough, for if he were to destroy those spheres instead it would just be an excuse for the Changeling to ease up his training, so he thought. This was a little threatening, but good enough.

When he thought about it a little while dodging yet another shot from those spheres and resisting the gravity with what he could muster out of himself, Frosvite realized this would perhaps be the way you were supposed to train in the gravity chambers in the first place, with a challenge set to accomplish. This would be perfect, this way the orange alien would have to seriously stress himself out if he wanted to get any results, just like back in his earlier days. These laser-shooting spheres didn't seem to be the holding back type either with that shot to his back. If, with his Powerlevel, it hurt that much it's definitely no joke.

The alien did not realize though that those two spheres he saw were not the only things he had to deal with, as one more of those were behind of the zone he could see or more like, on the part of the computer the orange lizardman couldn't quite see, and thus caught him by surprise. Right after making a dodge to his left, Frosvite got struck down by yet another one of those lasers, in the back of the head and barely managing to keep himself on his feet as a result. He was right now, a sitting duck in the face of those machines.

[Frosvite]

Standing there bearing with the weight of his own body, Frosvite was just like target practice for these already incredibly accurate machines, dealing with the burn on the back of his head and on his back. It was odd, but when one of those spheres made a move neither of the other two didn't, or maybe that was just how it was at the beginning until the Changeling began revving it up a little.

The assault was expected but not very easily avoided, forcing the alien to try taking his steps back while still feeling the pain quite powerfully and going against the gravity. Flying would be the solution, but not beneficial enough. As the sphere shot, the orange alien made a quick jump backward, seeing he couldn't quite jump to his full, regular height but still got out of the fire's zone. A successful, second dodge for the Changeling, only he had three of the spheres closing in on him.

Very quickly, the farthest sphere made its move and shot once again one of those yellow, line-like beams towards the only living thing in the room though missing again. Frosvite, trying to follow the movement and pattern of the shots blasted himself upwards with his Ki while keeping a close watch on the spheres' actions and still airborne. He was already feeling the gravity's power getting to him, and he didn't even start yet.

[Frosvite]

The analysis began at last with the Changeling getting a grip of himself, resisting the weight and struggling to remain hovering in the air like that. He watched closely as the spheres changed their placement matching the replacing of the alien, most likely going for a better angle at shooting the young Changeling down. The odd thing about their pattern of movement though was easily the fact the machines didn't appear to be going for a close shot. Were they programmed to shoot from afar?

Maybe that's the solution Frosvite searched for in dodging their blasts in an easier way, figuring if he got close to them they would move in a pattern once again, matching his and thus staying away from him. Deciding to give it a try, the orange lizardman found himself under the siege of yet another ray, deliberately allowing it to get a good strike at him, knocking him backwards but with his eyes still open to keep watch at the floating spheres. If his assumption was correct, they would follow him in an odd direction but remain with the same distance.

His assumption was incorrect, as one of the spheres came from above of him and shot once again, slamming the Changeling to the ground, making him bounce off of it and served for another one of the machines' attacks. They were almost toying with him, and he did not find it funny enough to get hit like that constantly. His assumption was wrong, but it was no reason to just give up and let them hit him, as each of those blasts stings quite a bit.

[Frosvite]

As expected, the gravity affected Frosvite more than the usual and he had trouble recovering as quickly as he usually would from a smash like that against the floor, having to muster most of his power to move away from his position and a wrong estimation of how much got him pretty good as the second blast hit him straight on to the stomach, burning him again in the same place he was before and preventing him almost entirely from moving.

Face-up on the floor, Frosvite wondered if this training wasn't a little too hard for him. If this keeps up, the Changeling might end up dieing in this room unless somebody comes in to save him or if he can outrace the blast's rate and understand the sphere's pattern. It all came down to brains and not brawn when it came to fighting as this guy, and he knew just the thing that would help him get a better perception of the machinery tricks: the Afterimage technique, which would allow him to leave a trace of himself behind and watch the machines.

On the third blast heading, the Changeling struggled to leave an Afterimage of himself laying on the floor behind, also leaving two more on the way to see what happens. Just as he predicted, the sphere did notice the change in the fighter's location and headed off to one of the Afterimages that were created, shooting it blindly and seeing as it disappears. The orange alien used this time to take a perception of how exactly their move, their order of attacks, the distance they take and - to catch his breath.
