"you knew he couldn't control his transformation state AND STILL attempted to have a relationship with him?! has your father not taught you anything?"

[/color] really though, had vegeta not taught her the basics of saiyan heritage? then again nappa knew vegeta wasn't really the fatherly type as king vegeta hadn't been either, actually a lot of saiyans weren't. though nappa was, and as such he decided from her on out he'd be the apparent mentor of princess.

"elite class saiyans do not have relations with low class saiyans, it's as simple as that princess. we use low class trash as tools, nothing more. while they, as being a saiyan, might be still ahead of every other race, they are still beneath us elite saiyans and will never, EVER be our equals. not even in their wildest dreams. just ask raditz, the low class warrior me and your father lug around with us, he might show some worth, but in the end, he's still trash."[/color] rolling his neck around as they neared his favored training area he'd begin to descend through the air at a high speed before landing firmly on the ground below. they were in the dragon's jaw canyon now and training would begin soon.

[Princess Vegeta]

Such anger was something that Princess hadn't bee expecting to be evinced by Nappa. She had never seen him angry with her before. Had she really screwed up that much? She couldn't shake the thought that she should just go back to East City, move in with her mother again, and just live the rest of her life as an ordinary human, or at least as ordinary as she could be with her power level and tail.

She flew quickly behind Nappa. The air rushing through her ears would have almost completely muffled the sound of Nappa's words if his voice hadn't been so powerful as to overcome it. There was simply so much that she needed to learn from Nappa, and honestly, she didn't like what she heard. The way that it sounded was that Kabbar was really her only choice in continuing the race... and if she did so with him, well, what would happen in the next generation? They would be just as screwed. The way it seemed was that the saiyan race had inevitably come to an end. They would simply end up being overcome by humanity.

Princess followed Nappa to the ground and planted her feet firmly on the ground next to him. She stood with her arms crossed behind her back and an obvious expression of nervousness.

"So what? My choices are either you or Kabbar?" She asked him somewhat mockingly, but serious all the same. She wasn't trying to upset him, but the tone of her voice could easily do so.

[Nappa]

[atrb=style, background: transparent; padding 0px; cell spacing: 4px; opacity: 0.9] SAIYAN PRIDE KNOWS NO BOUNDS ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ raising a brow and showing confusion and shock towards princess question he quickly began shaking his head. "i am not an option princess. kabbar is your choice, least there be some other survivors out there that aren't low class. anyways you do not need to worry about such things currently. as i said before, your father has a secure foot hold as the prince...er, king of the saiyans."

[/color] it was at this time nappa began wondering, what if there were no other survivors? were the saiyans going to die out? could the pride that fueled nappa so dwindle away? apparently it was inevitable. then again wouldn't even the slightest trace of saiyan blood be enough? it had to be. shaking his head once more nappa snapped back into reality, now was the time to focus.

"ok, it's time to train. i bring kabbar and ayame here all the time, so do not worry, the landscape is quite durable. it's the only one we haven't torn up yet. so, come at me with everything you've got, we're ganna focus on physical combat for the time being."[/color] grinning he rubbed his chin a bit before continuing. "don't hold back, i can take a hit."[/color] now rolling his shoulders he began doing a few stretches before motioning for princess to rush him. grinning all the while, his former rage towards the thought of a low class trash saiyan intermingling with an elite saiyan especially when it was royalty having finally faded away. all was good at the moment.

[Princess Vegeta]

Kabbar. She hated the thought of it. It wasn't that she didn't like Kabbar as a friend, but the way he would treat her in a romantic relationship, she couldn't help other than to feel as though she'd be nothing more than a piece of meat. Regardless, she was now ready to move onto much bigger and better things in a spar with her new master, Nappa. She'd hold back none of her punches in this spar with him.

"Alright. I'm ready if you are," Princess said with a smirk. She had been training hard recently and was now ready to go all out on someone who wasn't nearly fragile enough to be taken out in one hit. With one dash jump, she flew at him rapidly. Once close enough, she aimed a number of punches right at his chest.

"Hi-yah!"

[Nappa]

[atrb=style, background: transparent; padding 0px; cell spacing: 4px; opacity: 0.9] SAIYAN PRIDE KNOWS NO BOUNDS ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ grinning still he'd watch and listen to princess before nodded at her last words. letting her close in on him he stood strong as he began tanking her punches. as he did to gauge the strength of his children after their own training, he wanted to test how far princess had come. and while the punches didn't harm him, they were far from a simple punch. and with the number of them being unleashed he even took half a step back. she was good. comparable to one of his own, clearly she was vegeta's child, her ferocity was only matched by his. grinning still nappa would quickly raise his left arm before dropping it down, aiming to spike his elbow atop princess's head with about half of his raw power. and should this land and the girl go limp for even a moment he'd rotate his body to the left, aiming to slam his knee into her side and send her flying into the side of the canyon. "good, good, your progressing quickly princess!"

[/color] holding his devilish grin he couldn't help, but feel pride in princess, not only as a mentor, but perhaps even a slight father figure with vegeta hardly being there. that being said he would never attempt to replace vegeta, even if he shunned his daughter.

[Princess Vegeta]

Princess aimed each and every one of her punches at him with full power. Still, it didn't seem as though it was fazing him as much as she would have hoped. She was clearly out-matched, but luckily this fight was a simple spar and nothing else. If it hadn't been, she felt Nappa could have finished her off in but a few seconds.

She landed punch after punch, but in doing so, she was much too concerned with attempting to cause Nappa damage to notice his attack coming from above. His elbow spiked down against her head, causing her quite a bit of damage, and directly following this, his knee slammed right into her side, sending her flying and creating what appeared to be a crater right in the side of the canyon wall.

"Gaaaah." she moaned. At this point she could see stars. The pain caused from his attack was incredible, yet not crippling, luckily.

"Owww..."

"keep fighting, never give up, never accept defeat. that is our saiyan pride!"

[/color] roaring he would tap into his full speed.

with his right hand and arm cocked back he kept his fist clenched tightly and balled up. but, if he was to teach her to press on an assault he'd need to do more. as such he began cocking back his left hand and arm as well as clenching his left hand into a tightly balled fist. he'd unleash a torrent of punches upon princess if she failed to snap out of it and regain her focus.

[Princess Vegeta]

The attack from earlier had definitely left Princess winded. Even now she was having a hard time figuring out what kind of move to do next. However, before she could do that, she needed to stand up. The need was even much more pressing as Nappa sped toward her with such rapid speed.

If I don't move... he's going to hit me again and it's going to hurt much more, she thought. Moving wasn't easy, but she had to push herself. With all the energy she could muster, she pushed herself to move rapidly. To any ordinary person, it would look as though she simply vanished, but an experienced fight such as Nappa would probably track her location to five meters behind him.

"Hiii-yah!" She cried as she charged an energy ball in her right hand before throwing it right at the back of Nappa's head.

"so your done with physical combat aye?"

[/color] his grin never fading nappa quickly fired off his ki blasts, followed by two more, and then two more, and finally even two more.

[Princess Vegeta]

"I find that when fighting someone much stronger than I am, Distanced-combat suits me more," Princess responded to his statement. However, it didn't seem as though Nappa was too interested for the moment, as he soon began to fire some more ki blasts aimed directly for her.

Two ki blasts at a time. It wasn't easy to dodge them at all. It was almost like a dance. Swerve left. Jump up. Limbo under. Sway to the right. Somehow, be it pure luck, she managed to dodge them, though she was certain Nappa wasn't trying his best right now. Still, it left her quite fatigued until finally, she fell forward on her knees, sweating now, and somewhat hoping that Nappa wasn't going to attempt to throw any more.

I can't believe... that I'm already exhausted... She huffed as she attempted to regain her energy, though doing so wasn't even close to easy. Was she going to have enough time before Nappa used his next attack? That was the question on her mind.

"every defeat only makes us stronger."

[/color] sighing a bit he waited to see if princess was unconscious, though that was only if she had taken his fierce kick.

[Princess Vegeta]

Princess grew more and more nervous as Nappa approached her. Somehow she knew that he wasn't just going to leave her alone. She had learned that the Saiyans were ruthless when it came to training and sparring. She was trying to develop into the same kind of fighter, but it didn't quite come as naturally for her. She wasn't nearly so much of a fighter as they were.

The kick came to be delivered for the side of her head. She could see it in her peripheral vision. Her reflexes spun into action as she raised her right arm to help block it and cushion the power of the attack against her head. It was delivered and she ended up rolling around on the ground. She landed on her back.

"Gah... that hurt." She groaned. Quickly, she pushed herself up and sat. She knew this wasn't the end. He wasn't going to leave her alone, but her head was still spinning. The girl used her ki energy and began to propel herself upward. Rapidly, she took to the skies. It would maybe even look as though she was running away, but she wasn't quite doing that. She was only increasing her elevation, not going far away from him. Maybe this could buy her some time.

"go ahead and take a break, thirty minutes should be fine yeah?"

[/color] nodding he folded his arms and chuckeled a bit before dropping into a seated position, closing his eyes, as he began taking a short nap. he couldn't wait to continue their training, he wanted to push princess past her limits when they started up again, he'd mold her into one of the finest saiyan warriors out there.

[Princess Vegeta]

Princess looked down at him in confusion. A perplexed eyebrow stood erect. She couldn't believe that Nappa was already calling this training quits. She knew that he was a tough trainer, and though she was incredibly tired and wanted a rest, and likely would have asked for one soon if he hadn't said it himself, she hated feeling so underestimated and belittled.

Instead of declining his offer though, she let him close his eyes for whatever nap he was preparing to take. Still from the air, she held her palms facing nappa with both arms outstretched. An energy ball began to form, and in only moments, she had fired it at Nappa, aiming it directly at his chest from almost 20 meters above him.

"Take that..." She mumbled to herself. Nonetheless, she was still breathing quite heavily from the strain of this training.

"ok, ok. no break, no holding back."

[/color]

taking a simple stance he began roaring which caused the surrounding canyon to shake, even releasing loose chunks from it's walls. though this was all dramatics, while the real important happenings was the energy surrounding nappa before a single plume of lightning dropped from the heavens and struck him. converting his energy into a constant sparking field that clung to him as it danced about his person. tightening his hands into fists he managed to pop his knuckles without any effort before blasting up into the sky, racing towards princess. only to vanish from sight and reappear behind her, aiming to drop an axe kick upon her in hopes of knocking her to the ground below. where he would begin descending and aim to crash into her full force.
