Started off strong and determined to get through this first part of training Bakuto had rushed into things head first.  Fresh from his crushing defeat and against the old man hermit Krillian's suggestion for him to wait Bakuto leaped into the ocean to swim at the meeting point.  His goal was to even with his injuries be the first one there and get there faster than expected.   Expectations hit the hard wall of reality.  The hours flew by and the group was swimming after the first eight hours the darkness of night set in.  At this point Bakuto's lungs along with his arms and legs were burning.  The constant swimming, and the salt water of the ocean burned as he swallowed a bit of water from time to time over the length of time they swam.

Lazuli rescuing those who would fall under the ocean.  With Bakuto each time he faltered he refused to let her help. Often going through the lines of 'I don't need your help." or something along those lines.  His pride as a warrior on display.   Quite differnt from his playful side he showed when he fought her.  This was training and things were more serious for Bakuto.  He was here to get stronger.  His body was in its condition because he wasnt strong enough and this would make he stronger.  Expecting help or taking a sort of short cut wouldn't be his way.  If he was going to make it to the meeting point it would be with his own strength and will power.  If he was to drown then he wasnt meant to make it that far.

As things came to an end four more hours later.  Bathed by moon and star light Bakuto finished barely in near the first those who finished in the front of the pack.  Lazuli most likely was first he didn't keep track of her when he reached the beach.  His limbs and body was near its limit but yet he was defiant of his own limits.  Fighting to stand back up to his feet once reaching the beach front he then looks front forward then states in a plain determined fashion while breathing heavy trying to catch his own breath, [color=lightblue]"What's Next?"[/color]  Fully expecting Krillian to already be there even if he wasnt Bakuto stood there against his own limit asking for what is next and willing to go further into this training.[/indent]
