As Seraphine's Kaioken training began, her mother, Lyra, took on the role of both mentor and guide. She led her daughter to a corner of the gym where the strange generator sat. It was a technology passed down through generations, a piece of their family's martial arts heritage.
With a deep breath, Lyra began to explain the essence of the Kaioken technique and its origins. "The Kaioken technique," she began, "was developed by a deity, and our ancestor a legendary Saiyan named Goku passed it on us. He used it during a pivotal battle with the Saiyan prince, Vegeta."
Flashback:
Goku, in his desperate struggle to match the overwhelming power of the Saiyan prince, had unleashed the Kaioken technique. The fight was a fierce clash of titans, with Goku's power surging to incredible levels, but at a great cost – the Kaioken was an unstable technique, and the strain on his body was palpable.
End of Flashback:
Back to the present story, Lyra activated the generator and entered "10x" on its panel. The machine began to hum, and the gym's gravity field suddenly intensified. Seraphine felt the weight pressing down on her, making her movements sluggish and labored. It was as if the entire world had become a heavy burden.
Lyra watched her daughter with a determined gaze. "To master Kaioken," she said, "you must first acclimate to the gravity of ten times normal Earth's. It will be a harsh trial, but it's essential to the technique's mastery."
Seraphine struggling to even take a step in the increased gravity. Her determination, however, remained unwavering. She looked at her mother with fierce determination and said, "I will learn Kaioken, whatever the cost."
With those resolute words, Seraphine embarked on a grueling journey, ready to face the trials that lay ahead as she sought to unlock the power of the Kaioken technique, a legacy passed down through her family's generations.
