The next day, first thing in the morning, Gavin is seen waking up, before quickly taking a shower, eating a quick snack as he goes outside, warming up as he prepares to go for a run.
After about 30 minutes of running, he stops by a local gym as he continues his workout; 10 minutes of jump-roping, 5 minute planks, arm-curls 25x4, reverse arm-curls 25x4, squats 25x4, pushups 25x4, sit-ups 25x4, and he did this everyday, every morning and every night, for the next week or so.
As Gavin struggled during one of his pushups, he felt one of his muscles start to ache, as he internally screamed in pain.
Gavin drops to the floor, panting in exhaustion, when the picture of Courtney once again returned to his mind, his eyes burned with motivation as he forced himself up, groaning with pain as he does,
"I have to get... urgh S-stronger... Gah! This... is... f-for...C-Courtney!!!"
Gavin yelled to himself internally, as he completed that one pushup, and kept going, pushing through the agony, motivated by love.
One day, during the weekend, he just finished a workout as he takes a sip from a water bottle, when news suddenly flashes on the gym TV,
"Breaking News, since the arrest of Courtney Magni, aka The Solar Phoenix, almost a week ago, the World Government has already decided to publicly announce the execution date of the criminal."
These words caused Gavin's eyes to widen, as he almost chokes on his water in shock.
"What the fuck? Execution date, already? I mean... She is one of the greatest, most dangerous criminals in the world... But damn, execution, these guys are straight to the point..."
Gavin thinks to himself, as he switches his focus back to the TV as he continues drinking his water,
"The announcement states that The Solar Phoenix's execution will be live, due in 1 month."
These words alone, caused Gavin to spit out his water in even more shock , as he then gets up from his seat,
"WHAT!?"
Gavin yelled out in shock, causing the whole gym to stare at him as he heard the date of execution, his heart beats faster as he begins to panic,
"Jesus Christ... I have to get stronger, fast!"
Gavin declares to himself as he went straight back to working out, even more motivated than he was before.
For the next week, he bumped up his workout plan by a notch, now running at least 20 km everyday, doing 10 minute planks, pushups, squats, sit-ups, arm-curls, reverse arm-curls, each workout 50x4, everyday, twice a day, for the next week, nonstop, as his workout gets exponentially harder and harder each week, abandoning all rest days.
For the third week, Gavin bumps it up to 30 km runs, timed to be done within 1 hour, 20 minute planks, now adding pull-ups and chin-ups, practicing long jumps, and every other previous workout now weighted, with a 10 kg weight on every limb and his waist and torso, while also bumped up to 75x4.
Gavin felt his body slowly start to break as he did these workouts, every muscle in his body aching, his bones stiffening, but he didn't give up, he kept going, not giving up until he's strong enough to rescue Courtney from such a high-security military base.
And besides, the pain is only driving him to go even further.
For the fourth week, he bumped up his track up once more to 40 km runs within 1 hour, all other time related workouts up to 45 minutes, and maximizing all other workouts to 100x4, now weighted with 25 kg, twice a day, everyday, as he also started doing powerlifting and learning martial arts.
At this point, his body was numb, but extremely strong. Every muscle in his body was aching, but extremely tough, powerful and durable.
It makes no sense but he did it.
Gavin has officially broken the absolute limits of his body, as it continued to grow despite the overwhelming pressure placed upon it with such intense workouts. The pain only fuels his drive and motivation each time to keep going, to rescue the one person that he loves and loves him. All of these factors together continuing to keep him up and running the entire time to go even further than before.
For the final week before the execution, Gavin, being a very quick learner, has almost mastered three different martial arts, that being Kung-fu, Taekwondo, and Jiu-jitsu mainly, practicing his kicks and punches with brick walls, trains, and those cargo boxes.
He also continued to do every one of his workouts as usual, except the body weights now being bumped up to 50 kg. This man was way over superhuman at this point, with only his drive and willpower alone. His runs are still 50km, but are also now weighted by 30 kg, and is to be done within 1 hour, and the other time based workouts now to be done for 1 hour, now also weighted with 30 kg.
At this point, Gavin's body was extremely fit, ripped and chiseled, the peak physique for a human being at only 19, with perfect, chiseled abs, and nearly reaching 2-3% in body weight, in only 1 month with such extreme workouts.
His chiseled abs, his huge pecs and biceps, his beautifully detailed back, and his beautiful thighs amaze everyone around him, everyday, every time he goes out.
This feat is normally impossible within the normal world, our world, as of course, the human body would be completely destroyed by then. But Gavin, he is no normal human, not anymore at least...
He is, as they say, "built different", as his body's limiter has already been broken, as one-shot manga, "One Punch Man" by ONE, states, the one thing that keeps the human body, human.
With that, Gavin's body can go even further than any human could possibly go only through training or experiencing, he can no longer feel any type of aching or pain from these extreme workouts, all through willpower and drive.
If we were to compare Gavin's abilities to inhuman feats in the real world, he would be able to carry cars at full strength, he can tank explosions and shots from... well, a tank. He can dodge bullets with ease, and he can run at speeds of over 50-70 kilometers per hour.
He did all of this, only with the motivation, the drive, and the determination to try to rescue his girlfriend.
I apologize for the glaze, but anyway, back to the story...
Then one night, just a few days before Courtney's execution, Gavin gears up, "buying" a bunch of equipment and tools, such as a multitool, some tape, a bulletproof vest, and some camouflage clothing and a mask, all to prepare for one epic rescue. Gavin then went ahead and searched for the military base where Courtney would be kept in, in which he succeeds. He was able to find and locate it thanks to the news, Google Search, and other sources, such as the fact that you can literally just look it up, and this is where the lava general's station resides.
With all this information at hand, he drove thousands of miles, spending many days alone, into the rainy, storming, hidden forest area of the military base. He parked his car on a nearby trail, as Gavin finally stands in front of the military base, the alarm and all sensors immediately activating as soon as he is seen by the cameras, as Gavin holds his multitool, prepared, as he looks around the base (like an idiot), ready to find a way to break in.
