Chapter 17: Sword Intent
Kami was looking at the time chamber, as he sighed it has been 4 day's sense Yamcha was in the time chamber and now it has been 4 years inside of the.
Kami sighs as he looked at the time chambers. "I hope you are doing the right thing".
Behind him was training was the rest of the Z fighter and Piccolo the only not there was Goku, as he sent him to other world to train with King Kai.
In the Time Chamber, as he was training, his sword moving in the wind, his hair much longer almost hitting the floor the system was boosting his progress so he doesn't need to do this for 100 year's, as he was swinging his sword he had no beard as he always cuts it he never liked he then made Ki close like Tenshinhan as he started to clash blade with the clone
Yamcha's movements were swift and precise, each swing of his sword flowing with an intense purpose. His Ki-infused blade clashed against the clones he'd created with his own energy. The fight was becoming more fluid, and Yamcha could feel the Sword Intent beginning to take shape within him.
His body was drenched in sweat, but he didn't stop. His long hair now swept around him with each motion as his Ki-powered blade connected again and again with the clones. Each time, the impact resonated not only through the air but within him, as he tapped deeper into his growing mastery over the sword.
[Host, your Sword Intent is starting to stabilize. With more focused training, you will be able to use it in battle.]
Yamcha grinned, feeling the flow of the energy inside him. "So this is what it feels like, huh?" His voice was calm, but there was an edge of excitement beneath it. "I can sense my movements becoming sharper, more precise. This is the real deal."
He broke off from his clones, taking a deep breath as he observed the horizon of the endless white expanse. Time felt almost irrelevant here; four years inside the chamber had felt like only moments. He had gone through countless trials, mastering not just his physical strength, but his mind and soul as well.
The Sword Intent was coming alive inside him, every movement of his blade carving through the air like an unstoppable force. He knew this wasn't just about strength anymore. It was about control, about learning the true essence of a warrior's spirit.
Yamcha concentrated, his hands steadying his sword. He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the blade in his grip as though it was an extension of himself. With a single motion, he slashed through the air, feeling the weight of the sword resonate in his very being. His breath was calm, but his heart was burning with a newfound fire.
"I can see it," he murmured, his lips curling into a grin. "I'm not just swinging a sword anymore. This is becoming a part of me."
His clones, which had been patiently waiting for him to make the next move, suddenly advanced. But Yamcha was ready. With a single slash, he cut through the first clone with ease. His movements were so fast, so fluid, that the next clone didn't even have time to react before it was sliced in half.
Yamcha looked at the remaining clones, his eyes focused. They may have been illusions created from his own energy, but they were perfect representations of the challenges he would face in the real world. They were fast, unpredictable, and relentless. But his Sword Intent had given him a clarity he had never experienced before.
His sword flashed with a new brilliance, energy surging around it. His clones surrounded him from all sides, but Yamcha was no longer overwhelmed. He was in perfect harmony with the blade, with the movement. Each clone fell one by one, dissipating into the air as his Ki sliced through them like a hot knife through butter.
Finally, as the last clone vanished, Yamcha stood in the middle of the empty expanse, breathing heavily but with a sense of profound peace. He had done it. His Sword Intent had fully manifested.
"Time to test this in the real world," Yamcha said, feeling a rush of excitement coursing through his veins.
With his sword still in hand, he stood tall and proud. He had spent years inside this chamber, and now it was time to apply everything he had learned. The Z fighters would be waiting, and the coming battles would require everything he had.
Outside the chamber, Kami continued to watch the time flow. He had seen the changes in Yamcha, but it was hard to predict how much the young man had truly grown. He could sense the power emanating from the time chamber, but there was something different about Yamcha now. A calm confidence that had not been there before.
"I hope you're ready," Kami whispered, as he turned to the rest of the Z Fighters training. They would need all the help they could get when Raditz's allies arrived.
Yamcha stepped out of the Time Chamber, his long hair flowing behind him, his sword at his side, and a calm but determined expression on his face. The wind swept across his face as he surveyed the world around him, now ready to face whatever came next.
"I'm back," he said aloud, the words heavy with meaning.
The Z Fighters, who had been training outside, all turned toward him. Their eyes widened as they took in the sight of Yamcha's transformation.
Bulma's voice broke the silence. "Yamcha... you look different. Stronger."
Yamcha smiled, a glint of confidence in his eyes. "I feel different. It's time to put what I've learned to the test."
Piccolo raised an eyebrow, sensing the immense power radiating from Yamcha. "You've been busy, haven't you?"
Yamcha nodded, his grip tightening on his sword. "You could say that. The real fight is about to begin, and I'm ready for it."
As he stood there, facing his friends and allies, Yamcha knew that the future was uncertain. But one thing was clear—he was no longer the weakling of the past. He had a power and a purpose now, and with his newfound strength, he was ready to face whatever came next, starting with Raditz's allies.
The winds of change had blown across the Earth, and Yamcha was prepared to embrace the storm.
Yamcha then looked at Piccolo. "Rember when we fought the first time".
Piccolo looked at him. "When you said you found Cultivate and I defeated you with one punch".
Yamched then readed his sword. "Now I challenge you too rematch".
[ New mission: Drafted Piccolo with only sword intent, Ki blast and Ki based attack are not allowed, rewords will given to host including a system update allowing host to break through the 5th stage of Cultivation ]
Yamched just smirk, as Piccolo looked at him. "What are you smirking at".
Yamcha looked at, once again remembering that only he can see his system. "Just thinking on how I can kick your ass".
Piccolo's expression darkened, his stance shifting into a more focused and battle-ready pose. "You've got guts, I'll give you that," he said, his eyes narrowing as he sized Yamcha up. "But remember, you're still the same guy who couldn't land a single hit on me last time."
Yamcha smirked, his hand gripping the hilt of his sword. "Things are a little different now, Piccolo. This time, I'm not relying on just brute strength. I've got something you can't even begin to understand."
The wind picked up between them, the tension thick in the air. The Z Fighters, who were watching the exchange, took a step back, sensing the intensity building. Tenshinhan, from the sidelines, grinned. "Looks like this is going to be a fun one."
Bulma raised an eyebrow. "Yamcha, you sure you're ready for this? Piccolo's no slouch."
Yamcha simply nodded, his eyes locked onto Piccolo's. "This time, it's just me and my sword. No tricks."
Piccolo cracked his neck, his arms falling to his sides. "I'm not going to hold back, Yamcha."
Yamcha's expression grew more serious, the smirk fading as he focused entirely on Piccolo. The challenge had been issued, and the stage was set for a battle that would test more than just their physical strength.
"Let's do this," Yamcha muttered to himself as he took his stance, his sword held firmly in both hands.
Piccolo's eyes glinted with anticipation. "Show me what you've got."
With a sudden burst of speed, Yamcha lunged forward, his sword cutting through the air with precision. Piccolo responded instantly, his own body shifting into a fluid motion as he dodged Yamcha's strike with ease. Yamcha's sword sliced through the air, missing Piccolo by inches, but the momentum carried him into another strike—a horizontal slash aimed at Piccolo's midsection.
Piccolo grinned, his eyes glowing faintly. He wasn't going to make this easy. He darted back, narrowly avoiding Yamcha's attack, and immediately countered with a fist aimed at Yamcha's face. But Yamcha was already anticipating the move. His sword came up in a flash, blocking Piccolo's fist midair, sending a shockwave through the air.
"Not bad," Yamcha said, his tone focused. "But you'll have to do better than that."
Piccolo scowled, taking a few steps back as he assessed Yamcha's movements. The Earth's strongest Namekian was no slouch, and he had trained his entire life for battle, but Yamcha's swordsmanship was something different. It was sharp, precise, and unnervingly fast. He could feel the difference this time, the distinct edge that Yamcha had gained in his training.
"I've fought you before, Yamcha," Piccolo said, his voice calm but filled with intensity. "But this is different. You've gotten stronger."
Yamcha's grin returned, his eyes gleaming with determination. "And I'm just getting started."
With a fierce shout, Yamcha charged once again, this time aiming his blade for Piccolo's legs to knock him off balance. But Piccolo reacted swiftly, using his agility to leap high into the air, narrowly avoiding the slash. He twisted his body mid-air, coming down with a powerful kick aimed at Yamcha's head.
Yamcha raised his sword just in time, blocking the kick and sliding back on the ground to regain his stance. He could feel the pressure of the fight intensifying, but there was no turning back now. He had to win this—both to prove his growth and to push himself further.
"You're not bad," Yamcha said, his voice calm despite the intensity of the battle. "But I'm not going to lose."
With a flash of movement, Yamcha closed the distance between them once more, his sword cutting through the air with surgical precision. Piccolo dodged and countered, but Yamcha's attacks were relentless. The sword became an extension of his will, each strike purposeful and calculated. Piccolo was no longer just avoiding the blade—he was being forced to react to it, his movements becoming less fluid as he was pressured into defense.
Yamcha's blade met Piccolo's guard again and again, the clash of steel against ki-infused muscle reverberating through the air. Yamcha's mind was focused entirely on the fight, on the flow of the battle, and on the blade in his hands. It wasn't just about strength anymore—it was about control, and that was something Yamcha had spent years honing.
Finally, after a flurry of strikes, Yamcha saw an opening. Piccolo had overcommitted to a counter, leaving his side unguarded for just a split second. Yamcha's sword flashed, cutting through the air with a clean arc, and with a single, well-placed strike, he landed a blow against Piccolo's side, sending him skidding backward.
Piccolo staggered, catching his breath, his expression filled with respect. "You've really changed, Yamcha."
Yamcha's grin returned, though his chest heaved with the effort. "You're not bad yourself, Piccolo. But I'm not done yet."
Piccolo took a step back, his hand resting on the wound where Yamcha had struck him. "This was just a warm-up."
Yamcha nodded. "Then let's see what you've really got."
The fight was far from over, and both warriors knew it. Yamcha's Sword Intent had taken him this far, but the true test had just begun.
As the battle raged on, the Z Fighters watched in awe at the transformation Yamcha had undergone. This was a side of him they had never seen before—calm, controlled, and unstoppable. He wasn't just fighting to win; he was fighting to grow, to surpass his limits, and to show the world that he was more than just the former joke of the team.
And Piccolo, for the first time in a long while, found himself challenged by someone who was more than just a warrior—he was a true swordsman.
The winds howled around them as the fight continued, each strike, each movement a testament to their strength and resolve. This battle wasn't just about victory; it was about pushing themselves to new heights, and neither Yamcha nor Piccolo was about to back down.
The battle between Yamcha and Piccolo intensified as both warriors continued to clash with speed and precision. Yamcha's sword moved like an extension of his very soul, each strike filled with intent, each movement deliberate and sharp. Piccolo, the seasoned fighter, was forced to continuously adjust, his agility and experience counteracting Yamcha's ferocity, but the Namekian could feel the pressure mounting.
Yamcha's breath was steady, his concentration unshakable. The blade in his hands wasn't just a weapon—it was a conduit for his will, channeling his growth and strength from his intense training in the time chamber. He was no longer the same fighter he had been when he first joined the Z Fighters. This Yamcha was a different animal entirely.
Piccolo, for the first time, was forced to actually consider his moves. He was used to fighting with brute force, overwhelming his opponents with sheer power and speed. But Yamcha wasn't like the others. Yamcha was using his mind, his focus, and his sword intent to control the flow of battle, dictating the tempo.
As Yamcha lunged forward again, his blade coming down with a powerful arc aimed at Piccolo's head, the Namekian reacted just in time, twisting his body and raising his arm to block the strike. The clash was deafening, but Yamcha's sword didn't falter. He had learned to use his Sword Intent in a way that made his strikes more than just physical—they were concepts, breaking through defenses by sheer force of will.
Piccolo slid back, gritting his teeth. "You're not making this easy, Yamcha."
Yamcha grinned, though his muscles were beginning to strain from the constant exertion. "Easy? You should know by now, Piccolo. I don't do easy."
For a moment, there was a brief pause. Both warriors were panting, their bodies covered in sweat, and their minds buzzing from the intensity of the battle. Piccolo's eyes narrowed, scanning Yamcha as he caught his breath.
"Your sword skills are impressive, I'll admit," Piccolo said, his voice lower now, acknowledging the progress his former rival had made. "But you still rely too much on speed and power. What about control? Can you land a finishing blow?"
Yamcha, still calm and focused, tilted his head slightly. "Control? That's the key, isn't it?"
With a sudden movement, Yamcha dashed forward again, his sword aimed straight for Piccolo's chest. This time, he was not just trying to strike—he was trying to read Piccolo, to anticipate the Namekian's moves and control the flow of the fight. He wasn't just using raw speed—he was using his mind, focusing his energy entirely into the sword's intent.
Piccolo's eyes widened as Yamcha's blade closed in on him, but at the last moment, Piccolo's hand shot out, catching the sword by the hilt with his green hand. The energy from Yamcha's sword rattled Piccolo's arm, but the Namekian didn't flinch. With a grunt, he twisted, aiming to disarm Yamcha.
But Yamcha was already one step ahead. In that split second, he channeled the full force of his sword intent, sending a shockwave of energy through his blade and into Piccolo's arm, forcing the Namekian back. Piccolo stumbled, but quickly regained his footing, glaring at Yamcha.
"You're getting stronger," Piccolo admitted, eyes filled with a new respect. "But don't get cocky."
Yamcha stood his ground, his sword in hand, his stance unwavering. "I'm not done yet, Piccolo."
Without warning, Yamcha surged forward again, this time moving even faster than before. His sword was a blur, cutting through the air with pinpoint precision. Piccolo dodged and blocked, but the relentless barrage of strikes left him little room to counter. Yamcha's technique had evolved; his sword intent was no longer just about attacking—it was about controlling the battlefield.
Piccolo's movements became more erratic as he struggled to keep up. Every time he thought he had a moment to counterattack, Yamcha's sword was already there, forcing him back.
Finally, after a flurry of strikes, Yamcha saw it: an opening. Piccolo had overextended his arm, leaving his side vulnerable. Yamcha, in one smooth motion, pivoted and struck, his sword cutting through the air in a perfect arc. The blade landed just inches from Piccolo's side, and for the first time in the fight, Yamcha's sword grazed the Namekian's skin.
Piccolo's eyes widened, a rare moment of shock crossing his face. The blade hadn't pierced him deeply, but the fact that Yamcha had landed a hit at all was enough to show how far the Earthling had come.
"You're... impressive," Piccolo said, a grudging respect in his voice. "But I'm not done yet."
Yamcha lowered his sword slightly, his breath heavy, but his eyes still locked on Piccolo. "Neither am I."
With a determined expression, Yamcha raised his sword again, fully aware that this battle was far from over. But something had changed. He could feel it—he had pushed past a barrier. He wasn't just fighting Piccolo anymore. He was fighting himself, testing his limits, and proving that he was no longer the weakling he had once been.
"I'm ready," Yamcha said, voice steady. "Let's finish this."
Piccolo nodded, his own fighting spirit reignited. "You're on."
The rest of the Z Fighters watched in awe, each of them witnessing the growth of Yamcha firsthand. Goku grinned widely, his hands behind his head. "I knew he had it in him."
Bulma, standing next to him, couldn't help but be impressed. "I always knew Yamcha had potential, but this is... something else."
Krillin chuckled. "I think Yamcha might just be the strongest one here right now."
As the battle raged on, it was clear that Yamcha had evolved into something far greater than just a Z Fighter. His mastery of Sword Intent, combined with his growth as a martial artist, made him a formidable force that even Piccolo couldn't underestimate.
And as the fight continued, Yamcha knew one thing for certain: he was far from his peak. The more he pushed himself, the more his sword resonated with power. There was still much to learn, but this battle—this fight with Piccolo—was only the beginning of his true potential.
