[b]Maximus[/b]

Inside of Dr.Briefs lab Maximus was training alone, and training hard, over the course of a month he had finally gotten strong enough to train in gravity up to 500 G's. He was fighting a Cooler clone in a one on one battle, ever since the Cell clone accident there have been some renovations with the clones. The Cooler clones were upgraded making them stronger, thus more of a challenge in high gravity, and the Cell clones were dumbed down, so they wouldn't try to kill the people they were going up against, but they were still way stronger then the Cooler clones.

Inside the observation room of the lab the monitors were all on for every training room, Alice walked into the room with a cup of coffee, a faint trail of steam came from the cup, it was early in the morning. Alice yawned as she sat down in the hover chair and looked to Maximus's monitor, she took a sip of her coffee as she watched as Maximus combatted a Cooler clone.
"being a machine has it's perks" she said to herself with a smile
"no need for sleep or food, he doesn't get exhausted and he doesn't complain" she said with a little grin
"he's been at it all night.... he should take a maintenance break..." she said to herself before she took another sip of her coffee as she watched Maximus fight.

In the training room Maximus was going back and fourth with the Cooler clone, trading blow for blow with kicks and punches, each impact shaking the room violently, their attacks were faster then a human eye could follow as the two charge each other Maximus readied himself, the Cooler clone threw a right punch aimed for Maximus's head, but it was caught in Maximus's left hand, the Cooler clone then threw a left punch towards Maximus's stomach, but it was caught by Maximus's right hand. With both their hands crossing over each other they started to throw kicks at each other, shockwaves erupting from each impact, the Cooler clone grunted as it tried to land a clean hit, but it's efforts were in vain. Maximus's silver aura then surrounded him as he pulled on the Cooler clones arms, bringing the clone towards him, and slamming his head into the clone's head while he let go of it's hands sending it to the ground. 

Alice grinned a little more as she watched
"that's my machine" she said as she finished her coffee, placing the empty cup in a cup holder on her hover chair.

The Cooler clone sat up the crater in made from the impact, it glared up to Maximus as hydraulic fluid began to flow down the clones face, it placed a hand on it's head where the fluid was coming from then looked at it's hand, it grit it's teeth and glared daggers at Maximus. Electricity jumped around the clones body as it powered up, Maximus braced himself as he flew back, the Cooler clone the rushed Maximus, the speed at which it launched itself at Maximus had more of less fixed the crater in the floor, leaving a slightly flat surface. Maximus felt a barrage of punches hitting his arms as he blocked, he was getting pushed back which was dangerous, it he got backed into a wall it could be trouble for him.

"come on Maximus, don't let it box you in..." Alice said as she sat on the edge of her seat, watching in suspense, her hands clutched into fists.

The Cooler clone began to grin as it noticed Maximus getting closer to the wall, but as it took it's attention off Maximus for a split second, it noticed that it's next right punch had missed, it's eye's slowly widened as time seemed to slow down, it looked only to see that Maximus had gotten to it's right side, the clone grit it's teeth as it tried to pull it's arm back to move, but it was too late. Maximus grabbed the clones arm with both his hands, then brought up his right knee with incredible force, shattering the clones elbow, rendering it's right arm useless, it cried out in pain as it jumped back away from Maximus to see the damage done
"You've maimed me!" it exclaimed in anger before it glared at Maximus.

Maximus didn't give the clone any sort of response as he got back into an offensive stance, the clone grit it's teeth as charged, Maximus charged at the clone as well, when the two closed in on each other Maximus vanished from sight, the clone stopped and looked around with angered eye's, just then hydraulic fluid briefly erupted from the clones left shoulder, then it's left arm fell to the floor. The clones mouth was opened wide in disbelief
"but how?!, it was as if he vanished!, I didn't even see him!" the clone exclaimed in shock as it looked at where it's left arm used to be. Another brief splatter of hydraulic fluid was heard, the clone slowly looked in front of itself, there stood Maximus, facing away from the clone
"there's.... no way...." it said in disbelief before it's head slid off it neck and hit the floor, seconds later the clones anti-gravity generator shut down and it's body was crushed by the gravity. Maximus walked up the gravity controls and set the gravity back to normal earth gravity levels, when that was done, steam vented from Maximus's back as his body cooled down, he then looked to the monitor on the wall

"500 G training session complete" he said to it, Alice smiled as she spoke into the coms that was connected to Maximus's room

"great work Maximus, proceed to my laboratory for a maintenance check" she said to him with a smile

"Dr.Briefs, my scans indicate that my all my systems are operating at full capacity, I do not think maintenance is necessary" he protested to her which made Alice frown slightly

"Maximus, maintenance checks are mandatory, no if, ands, or buts, you know this, come on, I'll be waiting for you in the lab" Alice said in a slightly stern tone as she turned off the coms, she then made her way to her laboratory to meet Maximus.

In the training room Maximus watched as the monitor turned off, he looked away from it slightly for a few seconds before he walked to the door of the training room, he left the training room, closing the door behind him before he made his way to Alice's laboratory. When he arrived he seen Alice preparing a maintenance bed, she looked to him with a serous look as he walked in.
"reporting for maintenance check" he droned as he approached the bed.

"you know what to do" Alice said as she lightened her tone while she typed on the panel on the bed, Maximus sat on the bed, then lied down on it. Robotic arms came from under the table and began scanning over Maximus, the readings came up on Alice's data-pad
"...... your progressing well Maximus" she said with a faint smile as she walked around the bed, watching the readings as they appeared on the data pad
"but I'd advise you to stop taking unnecessary risks, you were suppose to be training in 500 G's, not 550 G's.... " she said as she read the G stress levels on Maximus's mechanical muscles. Maximus didn't say anything and looked away slightly
"Maximus, this is serous, you cant put you life in unnecessary danger just because you feel that you can take it!" Alice exclaimed with a stern look, then Maximus looked to Alice with a serous look

"I can "Take It", I have to, the Dark Saiyans will not hold back, so nether can I in my training" Maximus stated boldly in a droned tone
"That aside, I did successfully complete the training session" he stated to her as he looked back up to the ceiling.

"............" Alice stared at Maximus with a slight glare and a hidden pout
"your maintenance check is complete.... your free to go..." Alice said as she deactivated the maintenance bed making the robotic arms go back under the bed, she then left the laboratory. Maximus sat up and watched as she left, he tilted his head slightly before he got off the table and left the room to head back to the training room.

[b]Amber[/b]

In the middle of a desert somewhere on Earth, Amber stood facing a massive rock that was close to half the size of a skyscraper, she stared at it for a few moments before she grabbed hold of it, she grit her teeth and let out a yell as she hefted the rock off the ground. She let out another before she sent the massive rock flying skyward, she glared at the rock as it disappeared into the clouds before she readied herself. As the seconds passed by, the massive rock came barrelling out from the clouds towards her, Amber then jumped and flew towards the rock, she brought back her right hand and curled it into a fist as she quickly closed on the rock. Just as she reached it she threw her punch dead center at the tip of the massive rock, it instantly crumbled and shattered into hundreds on fragments of rubble, sending debris miles out in every direction, Amber triumphantly flew through the dust cloud made by the rock breaking and watched as the rubble fell to the ground, she then grinned as she flew back to the ground
"heh, at the rate I'm training, there's no way the last year champ is going to stand a chance against me" she said to her self as she looked to another giant rock, she walked up to it and picked it up with relative ease
"well, I got nothing better to do" she said as she began lifting the rock with one hand, then swapping it to the next, she kept on doing so for a few minutes before she tossed it into the air and smashed it like the last one. she then let out a sigh out of boredom
"this is going to be some boring training...." she said as she went to go find another rock to use as weights
