The road was long, and winding, but, ultimately, not very eventful. It had just been a long few hours of flying before Nashua finally seemed to have reached the end. All in all, she couldn't say it had particularly tired her out, though she was feeling a bit sore by the time her feet touched down at the tail of the snake's path. It didn't really seem like anything was here, though, she thought as she looked around at the empty expanse that lay in front of her. The Saiyan's eyebrows furrowed and her lips fell into a frown as she wondered if the 'special training' she'd been offered was just a really long pathway for her to stretch her legs out on by running up and down it. But... She could've just done that anywhere in the living realms, right? Something else had to be here.
And, sure enough, when instead of looking down and around, Nashua looked up, she quite clearly saw something off high in the distance. It almost sort of looked like... Some kind of tiny planet? Her curiosity piqued, she stepped off the end of the Snake Way, and began her flight up towards the sphere. As she got closer, she could definitely tell it was something like a planet, but, well, much, much, much smaller. She wasn't actually even sure how it was physically possible for a planet to be this small, though, as she finally touched down on the orb's surface, she did immediately note that the gravity here was more... Potent than the gravity had been on most other planets in the living realm. It was even a bit stronger than Vegeta's, as far as she could tell, though she wasn't sure by how much.
Convinced this must have been the place that large Ogre had been referring to, Nashua cupped her hands around her mouth and called out, "Hello? Is anybody here?" to see if she could get someone's attention. She couldn't see anyone on the part of the planet she was on, but she was fairly certain her voice would carry enough to fully orbit the sphere. If no one did respond, though... She couldn't really see anywhere further to go from here, as she looked around. All that there were were those big, poofy clouds, and, supposedly, Hell, way down beneath their canopy. If Hell was beneath the clouds, then did that make this area Heaven? Or was that somewhere else, up higher? Nashua pondered idle thoughts such as these as she waited for someone to come by, plopping herself down on the grass and crossing her legs while the time passed.

A cloud of soot shot out from the exhaust pipe of King Kai's illustrious new car. He hadn't thought up a good name for it, but it was a radiant shade of teal, and it came complete with a retractable roof. His old red beater was still sitting outside his house, but this one was at least ten times as fast! That's what that minor Kai had told him, anyways. The one that was always trying to convince him to buy this or that. He was sure he hadn't been lied to, but getting the darned thing to start was proving to be a challenge all on its own.
He sat back and muttered to himself, wiping some of the soot off of his face with his sleeve. It's then that he saw someone sitting there on the grass. A Saiyan of all things! He groaned to himself as he pushed himself to his feet. Sure, Saiyans made good students sometimes, but they also had a knack for making a mess of things. He looked back to his house, trying to dispel his worries. Maybe this one wouldn't be so careless as all the other ones.
"Ahem!" he waddled over to where the Saiyan was sitting. "Yes, yes. You're no doubt here to seek my boundless martial arts knowledge, am I right? I knew you would show up!"
That brought him pause. Wait, he did know she would show up. He was the one that asked for her! With all the stress of his broken new car, he had forgotten entirely that he was supposed to be entertaining some kind of royalty. He cleared his throat again. "Well! I've heard a lot about you, but just because you made it all the way here doesn't mean you're ready to be trained, not at all! You have to pass a series of tests first."
He pointed to the teal lemon sports car.
"Figure out how to make that turn on and stay on!"

Nashua was a bit concerned nobody might come for a few moments, and was considering having another look around the planet, when a strange old man waddled up to her, and her eyes widened in surprise and she stood up so as not to seem disrespectful. This was the, um, 'King of the Kais' that the judgment Ogre had said requested her presence? Nashua would have been lying if she said she hadn't been expecting somebody else. This fellow was quite the short one, and a bit on the round side, too. Was he really the person who'd taught Typha that extraordinary technique that he'd used to multiply his power tenfold in the blink of an eye...? This guy didn't even look like he'd be capable of using that sort of technique. Not that Nashua would say any of these thoughts out loud as she smiled and bowed her head at him. "Yes! I've heard you're an excellent master of extremely powerful ki techniques!" she eagerly chirped.
The Saiyan listened intently as King Kai stated that her mere presence did not mean that she would be allowed to receive his tutelage, and that a series of tests was in order. Ah, of course, that made sense, Nashua thought. Hearing about one's prowess was one thing, but seeing their skills in action was a whole 'nother indicator of their power. Nashua confidently nodded her head as she waited to hear what kind of test he'd have to pass first. Perhaps some sort of ki blast sniping target practice? Or how far she could throw some sort of large boulder? Or, maybe even a race back and forth across that snake road that had led here? When the Kai pointed at his car and asked her to get it to turn on, though, Nashua stared blankly at the vehicle.
"Um... I'm not actually very good with machines," she slowly replied. "There's this other Saiyan, Carro, that I know who's really good, but he was kind of so good that he cheated death with how good he was, so I guess you wouldn't have seen him..." With a sigh, Nashua walked up to the interesting looking car, and opened up the hood. "Yes, well, there are definitely car parts in here," she mumbled, frowning and biting her lip with worry. If she couldn't figure out how to fix this thing, was she really not going to be able to learn that special technique? Nashua looked around in the hood and underneath the vehicle for a few moments, and had quite literally no idea what she was looking at. "Um, how about uh," she said as she pulled herself out from beneath the car, wiping grime off of her face with her cape. "I'm probably faster than this car, so why don't you just have me push you around in that while I'm here, and I can see if I can find someone who can really help you?" She grinned sheepishly, hoping he'd agree to her proposal.

King Kai remained silent as Nashua spoke putting on his best thoughtful but also wise look as Nashua spoke, things were not looking good for her first task as she admitted to having very little skill with machines a fact that was incredibly disappointing to the King, he really WAS hoping to have his car up and running.
And also it was an important test. Right.
The name she mentioned was familiar to the Kai and his antenna twitched much like one would raise an eyebrow “Oh yeah, I’m familiar with him, President of Earth, kinda short, big protective cat robot, always stressed” KIng Kai nodded, it had been a bit disappointing that Carro had not properly passed into Otherworld to be judged. He was another good soul like Nashua. Though training him might have proven a bit more difficult, he did quite a lot of good but it was entirely possible he could not actually DO the training.
The whole ‘become a robot’ thing was STILL a big mess for Yemma, thankfully though it was rarely his problem.
King Kai watched as Nashua DID try to take a look at the car to figure out what was wrong, he poorly stifled a bout of chuckles at her ‘definitely car pars in here’ comment, such deadpan delivery, it was almost like she wasn’t TRYING to be funny.
Impressive.
She managed even to come up with a workable solution, King Kai took a long few moments to think things over really letting the tension build “Ordinarily I wouldn't let someone manuver around a task like that so early on, but you’ve got a pretty good idea so I’ll let it slide!” King Kai said a grin before immediately becoming ‘serious’ once more.
“Now the REAL test! Make me laugh.” He said it with the utmost seriousness, Nashua may have gotten a chuckle before but that was just a fluke! It would take far more to get a master of comedy such as himself to REALLY laugh.

"Y-Yeah, that's the one," Nashua replied to King Kai's description of Carro with a chuckle. Carro certainly did always seem stressed out whenever she'd met with him, though she supposed that that was sort of part of the job description of running an entire planet - particularly one as large and busy as Earth. Even Arcose had been quite stressful for Nashua to run, but that largely had to do with how much of a, well, polar reception she'd received as their leader, her being a Saiyan and all. ...Then again, Carro was a Saiyan too, and he was leader of a bunch of Earthlings, but she hadn't seen many complaints on that front. It was almost like Arcosians were spiteful and racist - who'd have thought a race dedicated to enslaving other races would behave in such a manner? Nashua snorted to herself as she looked at King Kai's car, but in all honesty, she had no idea what she was doing with it.
Luckily, after a pause for dramatic effect, King Kai seemed to agree to her deal, which was good - because if he hadn't they were going to be stuck making no progress for a good while. What was a bit of a problem, though, was his counter offer. Make him laugh? "Make you laugh?" Nashua asked, tilting her head and frowning. "Um, I'm sorry, but what do either of these have to do with..." She then stopped herself and figured it'd be smarter to just go along with it. He was the master who'd been teaching powerful students for thousands, if not millions of years, after all. Nashua would just have to trust that he knew what he was doing. Maybe it was more of a test of character than of strength or skill?
Well, Nashua wouldn't say that her forte was exactly making people laugh, but maybe she could think of something. Problem was, though, if this fellow was millions of years old and was able to watch the living all that time, how could he not have heard every joke in the book by now? Nashua's tail swished back and forth gently behind her as she tried to think of something. She had, uh, something. "Um, okay," she began, a sheepish smile curling on the corners of her lips. "I used to feel nervous all the time when I was alive, but not as much these last few hours." She gulped as she briefly considered whether or not this joke was even funny, but she was in too deep to back out now. "I guess that's because all the butterflies in my stomach were destroyed!" Nashua grinned nervously as she found herself hard pressed to even laugh at her own joke. Would King Kai even know how she'd died? ...Maybe she should choose a different joke.

The North Kai nodded to Nashua’s questioning response to his alternative, like most of his prospective students she also started questioning WHY he wanted her to do it but he kept his expression blank as just as quickly as she started to ask she pushed that away apparently deciding it was not worth asking.
Long ago it had actually been a rather amusing mistake, when the man who would go on to become his greatest student arrived and King Kai had thought he had come to learn how to be a great comedian rather than a great fighter. Oh how things would have changed if that little mistake had gone on too long.
It had become a bit of a running joke since then for the Kai, get ALL of his students to make him laugh. So many fighters were just so dang serious, they NEEDED to learn to have a bit more fun and in a way it was a bit like a good start to training, it helped see just how well they could think on their feet, to see if they could break out of their normal bonds.
Also jokes were always fun.
This young woman, she reminded him a bit of HIM, a rarity among the Saiyans, a true pure heart of good. It was tragic of course for her life to be cut short so soon, perhaps with how active they were she would still get a chance to help the universe like HE had.
King Kai was drawn from his thoughts as Nashua finally made a go at her joke, the set up got a twitch of his antenna out of confusion only for the punchline to hit him like a brick. The Kai took a step back in shock. Grim humor was not his usual forte but.. It DID get a laugh.
“That’s a first for me, usually people dont use their own death like that. Usually hits a bit too close to home” King Kai chuckled at his own little joke there waiting briefly to see Nashua’s reaction before continuing “Not my usual style but you worked with what you had! I suppose I’ll take you on as a student” the Kai gave her a thumbs up, now he just needed to decide how to proceed. Perhaps he’d go with the classic regime, see how she stacked up against what he’d pitted some of his previous students with.

Nashua waited with a nervous anticipation as King Kai's antenna twitched at her joke. It wasn't very funny after all, was it? Well, Nashua hoped that he'd allow her at least a few tries when it came to making him laugh. That technique Typha had used seemed incredibly powerful, and to miss out on the opportunity to learn it just because she couldn't think of a good joke on the spot was something Nashua was sure she'd be kicking herself about later on. Just as she took in a breath to say something in her own defense, though, the King of the Kais bellowed out a laugh, which caught the Saiyan quite off guard. So... It actually was funny? Nashua herself chuckled nervously a bit as the Kai laughed, though fell quickly silent when he spoke back up again. So, it was more of a shock value thing, than anything else? Well... If it works, it works!
The Saiyan's face quickly grew into a smile as King Kai stated that he'd take her on as one of his own students, and her folded hands behind her back clenched in excitement as she bowed her head forward at him. "I'm sure you won't be disappointed!" she eagerly stated, "I'll try my hardest to live up at any expectations you might have for me, I swear!" The promise of new power was certainly exciting to Nashua, but it was something she was going to have to be careful with - if she grew too power hungry, no doubt she'd end up just like Vocado or Boreal had. ...Well, she had already sort of ended up like those two with the whole dying thing, but she meant more ending up like them in terms of character. After all, you can't kill a personality, even if you can kill the body!
Once she'd finished bowing, Nashua stood back up straight and twiddled her thumbs behind her back eagerly, her Saiyan tail visibly swishing to and fro behind her as an indicator of how excited she was, while the rest of her did its best to try and at least seem calm in the presence of this great master. "So, what is the first step, Master Kai? I'm just about ready for anything!" she asked, "I can't promise I'll succeed right away, but I can promise that I'll do my best, anyway!" Besides, if Typha could handle the training when he had been at about half of her current power in his base form, then her odds of being successful seemed pretty high, if she could say so herself.

“King, it’s King Kai” the Kaio corrected, technically he was not actually a King per-se but he certainly liked the title even if his fellow cardinal Kais refused to refer to him by it. He grinned a bit as Nashua said that she was ‘about ready for anything’ with any luck he would be testing how ready she TRULY was.
Though if he WAS going to fall back on the classic method of teaching for her he might need to update it just a bit, she was quite a bit stronger than ‘he’ had been back in the day and a native of Vegeta to boot, meaning she was already condition to deal with gravity of his planet, heck she had not even noticed it was more intense than a planet like Earth!
Dang Super Saiyans.
“That’s good because I expect the best out of my students! Succeeding on the first go rarely REALLY teaches much, it’s the times where you fall that you really learn!” With a gesture of his hand King Kai sent a wave of magical energy at Nashua the wave lacked any clear harmful intent so he hoped she woulden’t go about dodging it, that would just make things take longer.
If the wave struck her Nashua would quickly find a new layer of clothing added to her usual outfit, she would also find that this clothing weighed an incredible amount enough even for her extreme power was not enough to let her stand casually in it, if the wave missed the King would simly redirect it a few times, and perhaps even outright tell her to stop dodging until finally the deed was done.
“Now that you’re properly encumbered, let me bring out the first of your training partners” a quick whistle had the door to the Kaio’s home fling open revealing a monkey, almost the spitting image of an Oozaru scaled down to just a bit shorter than King Kai himself “This is Bubbles! Your first task is to catch him” Bubbles looked from King Kai to Nashua then BACK to King Kai and let out a long suffering sigh before scampering off out of immediate reach.

"R-Right, King Kai," Nashua quickly corrected herself, her cheeks briefly flushing red as she bowed her head in apology. Getting off on the wrong foot with the guy who could teach her incredibly powerful techniques did not seem like the best idea, Nashua had to say. Though, which foot was the wrong one? Well, it'd make sense for it to be the left foot, since the other one is literally named the right foot, but... Anyway, that was something to think about another time.
Nashua furrowed a brow as King Kai sent some sort of odd energy wave at her, and while her instincts insisted she avoid it, she decided to allow the odd energy to hit her - it was fairly obvious that King Kai didn't intend her any harm. "Wuh?" she exclaimed as she suddenly felt herself nearly falling down with how encumbered she'd suddenly become. One glance down at her clothing revealed some very strange, incredibly bulky grab instead of her usual brightly colored armor.
"Er, this is part of the training, I assume?" she cautiously asked as she held her arms out and locked her knees to keep herself upright and balanced. It reminded her a bit of the gravity device she'd used a couple of times around two years prior, causing a similar uncomfortable sensation in her now significantly heavier body. Unfortunately, that thing had broken when she'd tripped and fallen onto it, and she had to say, she hadn't missed it quite enough to bother buying a replacement.
Nashua had to admit keeping her balance even while standing still was a bit of a challenge, but when King Kai revealed her 'training partner', she wasn't really sure how to be going about this without falling flat on her face. "I'll, um, see what I can do," she replied as she started shuffling forward.
This little monkey was fast, though Nashua was quite sure she'd be able to catch up to him with ease if she were able to move unencumbered. The problem was that she was highly encumbered. Each step she took felt like it was heavy enough to shake the tiny planet they were standing on, and beads of sweat were pouring down Nashua's forehead. She didn't even know that spirits could sweat. Well, if they could sweat, could they also go Super Saiyan?
He hadn't said it was against the rules for her to do so, so... In a flash, Nashua's hair turned bright gold,and she suddenly felt more than capable of moving around in these clothes. "That's better," she mumbled, before she took off in a rapid dash, a cloud of kicked up dust and dirt behind her steps as she rapidly encroached onto Bubbles' personal space and dove at him in a tackle.

“Mhm, all part of the training. As powerful as you are, the weight of some things can still bring you down in tense situations. Think of this weight as a physical manifestation of those things.” King Kai nodded, allowing Nashua to acclimate as best as she could to the magical weights. Nashua didn't seem all too confident, but at least she was willing to try. “Just try your best for the moment, and if you fail because it's harder than you thought, just realign yourself and try again! Like I said, Succeeding on the first go doesn't teach you all that much.”
For the moment, King Kai was content to watch Nashua attempt to capture Bubbles to the best of her ability, at least to her own knowledge for now. Bubbles, while not so enthused with assisting, did take this task seriously, and watched Nashua closely as she made her way towards him. He had been told Nashua was incredibly strong, capable of Super Saiyan too. After moments of strain and inability to catch up to Bubbles, Nashua brought out this great power of hers. King Kai watched on, nodding with approval, Nashua was quick to catch on that this challenge would need her Super Saiyan powers. “That's the ticket, Nashua; but catching Bubbles isn't gonna be a cakewalk still!”
Since Bubbles was watching and waiting for the Nashua to unleash her potential, he had some manner of advantage. Since the wily monkey wasn't weighed down at all; along with thousands and thousands of years experience in dodging people, he could stay out of Nashua's reach, but not by much. Bubbles would run towards Nashua, before leaping up and over her, just as she dove for him. Landing on the ground, Bubbles rolled forward and scurried away once more. “Oo, oo-ah-oo!” Bubbles turned to face Nashua, encouraging her to try and catch him once more with a clap, a pump of his fists and a smile. “Well would'ya look at that, he's acknowledged your tenacity! Now give it another go!”
