Princess smirked to see that her attack had worked exactly as she had planned it. She had landed her attack almost effortlessly. She was able to move somewhat quickly, even in this 2x gravity, but it was certainly paying it's toll on her. She was already breathing heavily, and only after one confrontation. If anything, that was boarderline pathetic, or at least it would have been if it weren't for the gravity.
"Oh, don't tell me you're hurt already," Princess mocked. Though after she said this, she could see that he was already preparing his next attack. Good. So he really was a fighter. This being the case, she charged yet another energy sphere on her right hand.
"Your ball will do nothing against my ki blast!" Prinecss yelled. She then tossed the energy ball from her right hand with all her might at the other energy ball which Jean had been charging. If Princess' aim was true, which it usually was, the two energy balls would collide.
"Take this!"

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try Jean ignored the girl’s mocking comment and looked onward as the ball of ki he had thrown went on to collide into hers. Yet the two were very different, Princess’ could cause damage while his... well, it was only meant to be loud and flashy. When the two collided, he could see that the result of his technique was more or less the outcome he predicted. The white ball fizzled as it hit the girl’s ki blast, made a quick sharp noise and then dispersed, but they were both cancelled out regardless.
Now would probably be the best time to get himself into a better position strategically. Jean stepped away from the wall so that he was no longer as close as he had been, and then moved once more into a stance to show he was ready to continue fighting.
As time progressed, the boy too could feel himself beginning to breathe heavier. Although, he was too focused on the training, and failed to notice that Princess had encountered the same difficulty. Leading to his reasoning for charging after her again so soon, he didn't want her to think that he was no match for her, which meant wasting as little time as possible catching his breath. Jean ran toward the saiyan and threw a fist toward her, followed by a kick aimed at her side.

"Damn..."
Princess continued to catch her breath, though now she was much more upset to see that her attack had simply cancelled out. Surely, Jean was okay now. However, she realized that her blast had not been strong enough. She needed to do something to increase it's power next time she tried it. She hated having such a weak attack that it could be cancelled out so easily.
"Ready for more already?" She taunted him as he came toward her yet again. This time, he threw his fist at her in preparation for his attack. However, as she got ready to block it, she realized that it wasn't the real attack, he was using that as a feint for a kick to follow up. His swift motion and change in mode of attack was enough to catch her off guard and allowed his foot to connect with her side, sending her flying toward the harsh wall of the gravity chamber. Her back smashed against it and she slid to onto the ground where she sat.
"Nice hit... Hmm.. Maybe you could pass as a saiyan," she said with a smirk. Following this, she made her way back onto her feet. She held her hands back down at her side once again, palms facing outward. She began to charge her magenta orb of energy in each palm.
If only I can make... that attack stronger. Then there will be nothing he can do the block it. She cautiouosly began to bring her palms together, and in effect, brought the two orbs closer together. This was until they finally connected and began to fuse into one large ball right in front of her. From here, she began to charge them.
"Get ready! This one's going to be much larger!"

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try This time, the boy felt his leg connect to her body, a successful hit it appeared to be as he finally got her to budge from where she had been standing. After he had gotten that hit off, it sounded as though for the first time, Princess wasn’t mocking him as she spoke. ”I wouldn’t lie to a princess,” he returned matter-of-factly, his tone should have sounded genuine but she could take his meaning however she wanted.
Jean watched as the saiyan girl charged up another ki attack, the appearance of the energy was again in a light purple color. This attack was gradually becoming bigger than the last one, however, so he was going to have to avoid it this time... If he took it in the stomach again, well, then he was certain that he would be down for the count, or close to it at least.
But what would it take to stop her attack, if his only technique he could think to use would only fail and leave him wide open? While Jean was still biding his time, he began to attempt once more to gather snow-white energy into the palm of his right hand. Charging it up as much as he thought he had time for, until the sphere was as big as a softball in his hand. At that point, he got ready to run, hoping to avoid her attack.
He threw the white sphere down to the ground a few feet in front of his own feet, it momentarily gave off a flash of light. It probably wasn't enough to do much of anything, but Jean had resorted to betting on its success in the hope that he could dash away using the flash as a cover. As soon as he had thrown it down, he began to run to his left toward the other side of the room.

Charging up her ki was surely taking a while, but Princess knew that she needed to concentrate and get this blast right. Dealing with such an explosive force could easily blow up in her face, and quite literally at that. She certainly didn't want to allow that to happen to her. As the saiyan princess, that would be quite an embarrassment.
Her attack continued to charge, growing stronger and stronger by the moment. The magenta blast started to grow bigger in front of her, until the radius of the sphere was even bigger than Princess herself, however, that certainly proved a problem for Princess, considering that she couldn't even see her opponent. It was then that she also noticed an odd flash of light.
"Crap... where'd he go?" This posed as a problem. She jumped up into the air and floated a good 4 or five meters above it. She closed her eyes and listened for him. After all, relying on her eyes obviously wasn't going to do any good.
"A slippery little fellow, aren't you?"

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try She hadn't thrown her attack at him yet. That meant that his plan was working, or at the very least, it was working for the time being. It had been a stroke of luck that Princess' attack took so much time to charge, giving him ample time to find a way to avoid it, maybe even to counter if he wanted to risk that opportunity.
Although... the size of the ki she was forming was starting to become a bit unsettling... Enough to force the boy to continue running around beside the walls of the room, with a slowed movement compared to if he was in normal gravity, accompanied by clearly louder footsteps due to his increased weight in the chamber. Despite it all, he persisted in the workout of a run, hoping that Princess would be unable to pinpoint his position.
Jean felt his heart racing, the amount of physical exertion that a simple run could have on a person under two times gravity... it was crazy. Surely he would not be able to keep it up for much longer, he was already beginning to breathe heavily. If the saiyan girl did not throw her attack now while he was still on the move, then he was going to have no chance of dodging it.

Pinpointing her opponent was going to be incredibly difficult. Holding the ball of energy up was a tedious process, but doing so really did leave her open for a possible counter attack. That much she knew. However, it seemed like such a waste of ki energy not to fire it, but she didn't have much choice. She realized that she needed to reserve her remaining ki energy.
Darn... I took too long... The large orb of energy started to flicker until finally, it disappated and disappeared completely from sight. Locating Jean was her first priority now, and in this small room without any visual obstruction, it really shouldn't be so hard. Princess began searching around until finally he came within her sights.
"You can certainly dodge, but is that your only ability?"
Without another second of hesitation, she dashed toward him as quickly as she could and finally, with all her might, aimed to throw her fist into his stomach again. She remained on guard as well, knowing that if he blocked it, she would need to protect herself.

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try Aaand... that was all the demi-saiyan could manage. He needed to take a breather at this point; it was either that or pass out from exhaustion. Slowing down until he finally came to a halt, Jean twisted himself almost completely around until he could see what Princess was up to with her attack. Surprising it was to see that the mass of purple energy had vanished, what was he supposed to make of that? Had the girl decided it was too big to use in a small chamber such as this, and she had decided to cease her efforts?
Well, whatever the reason, apparently the boy still had to worry about the saiyan herself coming after him. A blast from an energy attack or not, he was still tired, strained from the extra forces that made his body feel as though it weighed five extra pounds every minute he remained in the gravity room.
In his present state, Jean could find no time to avoid the attack sent toward him. Grateful for the fact that she had not gone through with her ki attack, but still of course pained by the force of her punch to his stomach. He squeezed tight his eyes, attempting to bare the pain as he choked up spit. Reaching his hands out past the pain, he would try to grab her wrists, arm, whatever he could manage, and attempt to pull her off balance assuming he managed to get a grip on the girl. If he was successful, Jean would bring his knee upward and attempt to knee her in the chest.

The punch had landed perfectly, that much was good, but if Jean thought that he was going to be able to successfully grab her wrist, then he had quite a surprise going. Princess was much slower right now, surely, but that didn't mean that she couldn't just put more energy into her actions. To do this, she began to speed up the rate of her punches. She wasn't just going to do one punch, but instead, to follow up with many more.
"I told you I'm not going to make this easy," Princess preiterated. She grunted with every single punch she threw. The weight was getting to her, surely. A bit of sweat dropped down her forehead. Nonetheless, she attempted to throw more and more punches.
If all of her punches landed, she was hoping for a chance to get to try her technique out again. If I get the chance... I think I can just speed up the formation by reducing the power and size, she thought. Her hopes were to perfect this technique. If she could, she only would imagine how much stronger her other techniques would grow.

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try ”Hnn!” Jean took one more to the stomach... and then a few more, all of which left him dizzy and moments away from reeling backward. No, this certainly was not easy, not in the slightest. Not that he had expected it to be easy, a challenge was always a thing more appealing than if you already knew the outcome ahead of time. Basically, he was here to train, not necessarily to win. Even if he lost, it would still be worth the effort in the end.
Although, his body really wasn’t agreeing with him on that subject. It wanted to give in. Once the assault had ceased, he gave in to his body’s cries, dropping onto his knees. ”You’re pretty strong for a princess...” the boy’s hand moved to his stomach, finding the sorest area his arm hugged against it in pain and he winced.
He didn’t want this to be over yet... not when he still had so many things to improve. The technique he was developing still needed work, and he might have been silly for even considering it, but the slightest sign of concern struck Jean when he had the worrying thought that he might not have fought well enough to have been a good sparring partner for the girl.
That one little thought was what kept him from quitting right there and then. As he was down on the ground, the only thing he could think of to try when it came to continuing his efforts, was naturally to stand back up... And immediately thereafter, Jean swung a fist out toward her, followed by a second more sloppy one.

The attacks had mostly been successful. Her punches were strong, and his belly seemed pretty soft. This training seemed to be doing Princess a lot of good, however, she was still getting tired out, and she could tell that Jean was feeling about the same she was right now. Once her attacks had landed, she quickly jumped back to give herself some distance between herself and Jean.
"That's because I'm not just a princess, I'm the Princess of Saiyans," she smirked. All the while, Princess was attempting to recapture her breath and gain some degree of her energy back. Once again, she spread her arms far apart on either side of her with her palms facing outward. The two spheres of energy began to form over her hands. Rapidly, she brought them together, and began to charge that magenta orb in front of her again.
And this time, a balance of speed and power, she thought to herself. She spent no more time charging it, and simply fired off the basketball-sized orb at her opponent. She aimed to his his leg, but it was likely he may dodge it. If it hit, it would certainly cause a large explosion and maybe even leave Jean some minor burns.
"Cosmic Attack!"

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try Still she was quick enough to jump away from him; his attacks he realized had been avoided due to this. Jean stumbled forward through the empty air where she stood no longer, but managed to regain his balance before toppling to the floor. This wasn’t over, he refused to give up so early...!
The boy took a step to the side and then another couple backwards, his movements were sloppier than ever due to his increased exhaustion. He had but one thing that he wanted to do, knowing that this time around, it was extremely unlikely that he could move fast enough to dodge. Running was out of the question this far down the road. Maybe it was time to try that move again...
Don’t they always say, ‘the third try is a charm’? Well, how about the thirteenth, including his attempts in the gravity chamber and the failures he had tried when he first thought up the technique... Jean had nothing left to lose at this point, his legs felt much too heavy to move, but he still had his hands and a bit of ki left. He began to charge the ki, same as before, into his right hand. White ki formed as a sphere in his hand. Noticing how much smaller Princess had decided to make her energy attack, it gave the boy a similar idea. Maybe it would have more success if he could only make it smaller...
Jean moved his left hand to where he was gathering ki, blinked curiously at the white orb... and then tried to use both hands this time to compress it properly. It appeared as though he was padding a snowball tight together in his hands, hoping that it might do him better good than all the other times. And look at that, it was smaller than before! Perhaps closer to the size of a tennis ball than the earlier softball.
”Crap!” the cosmic attack was upon him before he could blink, the blunt force hitting his legs and knocking him onto his back, and there was an explosion as well that he tried to shield himself from it with hardly any success. But what did he do as he moved his arms hoping to work them as a shield? He dropped the ‘Tiny Surprise’ right between the both of them. Like a grenade, or better yet a stun grenade, an explosion was set off within a second, a blinding bright light filled the entire room. What was more, the explosion would cause a powerful ringing in the ears of whoever was not covering their ears at the time... Jean included.

Success
Princess smirked. Her attack had hit, just as she had wanted it to, but it hadn't done nearly as much damage as she had wanted to do. This was obviously the sacrifice of having to be quick and efficient though. If her attack didn't hit, how much damage it did wouldn't even matter anyway. Even now though, she felt she could have made the blast just a bit bigger.
However, her triumph was cut short when Jean dropped his light ball like a grenade, sending a flashing light into both of their eyes. She quickly raised her arms and crossed them in front of her eyes to help shield the blinding light which had quite possibly subsided by now.
Damn it! I can't see! She cursed. Her biggest fear right now was that Jean could come in for some kind of attack while she was blinded. She was vulnerable, and she couldn't think of a way to protect herself.

[/div] AM I WASTING TIME . . . ? might as well try "Shi-- Gah!" the light had blinded Jean as well, unprepared as he had been all sprawled out on the floor. Although his arms had been attempting to shield his face from Princess' attack, it really did nothing for him in the end when it came to either attack. It was still the case that he had been just as much blinded as the saiyan girl, his arms and legs even felt slightly scorched from her cosmic attack as she had called it.
Not to mention what his own technique had done to his ears. They felt as though they were throbbing with all the ringing vibrations. Ugh, but there was a good side to this... After all, his technique had finally done something other than fizzle out! Not that he could exactly be pleased with himself as he rolled around on the floor with a head aching with pain...
"Nnah... I didn't think it would actually work," Jean groaned. His technique, aptly named 'Tiny Surprise', had for certain surprised him this time. Next time he tried this... he was going to have to be prepared so that the explosion didn't catch him with the same pain it was supposed to inflict on his opponents. He learned from this experience that if this were to happen in a real fight... it would be very, very bad for him.

The crippling attack left Princess dazed, but it was finally beginning to wear off after all of this time. That had been a fun little detour to their battle, as irritating as it was, but she was now glad that it was over. Her eyes still felt like they were throbbing. She was going to need some time to recover. She turned to Jean and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Hey, Jean. Lets take a break," she bid to him. Of course, even a break would be training in this room at 2 times normal gravity. Without waiting for his comply, Princess made her way to the wall by the door and plopped down with her back against the wall. She sat there lazily.
"I have some sandwiches if you want some," Princess said as she reached into her pocket. She pulled out two sandwiches in wrapping paper and began unwrapping them.
"Ham sandwich. Do you want one?"
