Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

This made even Winter feel that it was somewhat inconsistent with Thomas's usual way of doing things.

He then pointed to the walls around him that blocked the view of others on the training platform.

"This technique has a very harsh, difficult, and embarrassing side! You would be making a big mistake if you compared it to the kind of training you know!"

"These walls that I specially erected are the greatest help I can give you, but they don't guarantee complete safety! No one can say for sure what might happen that you don't want others to know!"

"Do you really want to learn this?"

Is a wall a form of help?

This made the people present start to think.

The purpose of these walls is simply to isolate the outside world. Does that mean this technology should not be seen by others? Or is it literally so painful that it's best not to let others witness it?

Tomat spoke with such seriousness that Winter unconsciously swallowed, and at the same time reconsidered why her request as an apprentice had prompted Tomat to produce such a mysterious and seemingly extremely important technique.

Lin Guang nodded, then raised his head and said:

“I am not afraid of these things, so whether or not to proceed depends on Maria’s decision.”

After Nearl's statement, Maria mustered her courage and spoke to the unknown technology:

"If I could really fight alongside my sister, I'd be willing to do anything!"

Thomas suddenly revealed a malicious smile:

"Hmm? You just said... 'I'm willing to do anything,' right?"

"You have excellent talent. In less than two days, you've grasped the ability to sense and manipulate energy. Although you can't yet release it in large quantities or condense it into a form, you've almost mastered the basic upward and downward manipulation."

Under Tomat's direct guidance and through tireless training, Maria quickly completed the essential prerequisites for fusion.

Of course, more importantly, it was Lin Guang's company that filled her with enthusiasm. Her initial skepticism about what Tomat said gradually turned into eager trust under the influence of the various more incredible things her sister relayed.

At the same time, Lin Guang also emphasized that Tomat had never taught them his skills in such a secretive way, meaning that the so-called "fusion" was an unprecedented secret technique.

"Instructor Margaret, and Maria, are you ready?"

The result of Nearl using her family name as Rhodes Island's codename is that whenever someone calls Nearl, Maria will unconsciously respond, leading to misunderstandings. So, during this period, people started calling her by her name to prevent the two from confusing each other.

The two nodded when Tomat asked them questions, and they returned to the separately enclosed space on the training platform.

"We're ready, let's begin."

Thomas nodded in agreement, then looked around to sense the presence of people and confirm that the entrance and exit were closed and no one was watching him. He then said:

"Next, don't miss my movements, and I don't want to repeat myself too many times."

Margaret and Maria held their breath. If even Thomas said so, could it be that this kind of trick was a burden that someone like him couldn't bear to repeat?

But now that things have come to this, even if there seem to be countless obstacles, they are not going to back down easily.

"Fusion is also known as 'dance fusion' or 'medamo fusion'. You should be able to understand what it is just from the name."

Thomas stood in front of the two men, his hands resting steadily at his sides as if he were standing normally, while continuing to introduce himself.

"This is a secret technique developed by a people called the Medarmo, which uses dance-like movements to unite two people into one."

Then, Thomas stretched his arms to the side, parallel to the ground, and continued, ignoring the two people's surprised expressions:

"First, the two people stand six steps apart, side by side, with their palms outstretched, fingers together, and their arms pointing outwards as I do."

Next, Tomat began to move, slowly raising his outward-facing arms overhead. By the third step, he had rotated his arms 180 degrees, turning them inward.

As he moved, Tomat drawled out the words:

“Fuuuuu————”

Then, Tomat continued to make unintelligible noises, and quickly turned his arms to the outside, clenched his fists, and raised his outer leg to form a right angle, with his lower leg facing inward and his foot level with his knee.

“Sion——————”

Upon arriving here, Thomas paused deliberately before the two dumbfounded individuals, then loudly proclaimed:

"Next comes the most crucial step! Don't blink!"

After speaking, Tomat suddenly leaned his body towards the direction of his bent knees, straightened his raised legs to support his body, and at the same time turned his clenched fists around, pointing his fingers diagonally upwards.

"ha!!!!"

Thomas remained silent in that position for a few seconds, then returned to a standing position and said to the two:

"This is the final step; many actions must be completed in the instant of 'Ha!'!"

"And that's all there is to the integration. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Faced with Tomat's question, Margaret seemed still lost in thought, immersed in her earlier actions, while Maria slowly raised her hand and asked Tomat:

"I have a question..."

"Go ahead."

"...What exactly is this?"

"Integration."

Maria withdrew her hand and fell silent again.

"I see."

Just then, Margaret suddenly spoke up, which put Maria, who was in an awkward position and dared not ask or refute anything, as if she had grasped a lifeline.

There are many incredible things on Rhodes Island, but what Thomas showed was definitely the most perplexing thing Maria had seen since arriving there. With Margaret by her side saying something, it could alleviate her doubts to some extent.

No matter what, shouldn't we at least say something to question this utterly baffling action?

But things didn't go as planned. Instead of her sister questioning the fusion dance, Maria received a rather wistful remark from her:

"Do the two achieve a state of 'resonance' through synchronized steps and movements, then connect with each other through their breath, thus creating some kind of incredible phenomenon...?"

"I'm not entirely sure about the specific principles, but it should be... like this."

Thomas nodded seriously at Nearl's analysis.

It's like two people playing a static electricity game, touching their fingertips together and generating an electric current that flows through their bodies.

However, fusion is far more complex than that, and the energy within the human body is far more mysterious than simply generating electrical charge through friction.

A specific posture, similar body size, and interconnected aura—once these three conditions are met, an unknown warrior will be born.

"Alright, now it's your turn—what's with that look on your face? Didn't you say you could do anything?"

Thomas said to the two of them, and it seemed that only Maria showed any resistance.

*In Dragon Ball, Videl only spent an afternoon, under Gohan's guidance, to extract ki from her body. Although Earthlings have the advantage of controlling ki, Shining, as a non-infected and a Pegasus, had strong basic strength. With the constant training from Limbo, she quickly mastered simple ki control as well.

*We'd like to solicit suggestions from readers: should the fused duo wear traditional fusion warrior jackets, or should their individual outfits also be fused together? (Dance fusion doesn't always result in jacket outfits; sometimes it's the two characters' equipment fusing together, like Gohan and Videl's "Super Saiyan 12").

According to Akira Toriyama's interviews, fusion doesn't actually require too many complicated conditions. As long as the steps are correct, it's fine. Size, strength difference, and ability to use breath control are not important. It depends on the degree of cooperation between the fusion partners. In fact, as long as the steps are correct, multiple people can fuse without any problem.

For example, Dragon Ball Fusion introduced a setting where up to five people could perform a dance fusion (developed by the Ginyu Force). However, I think this setting is just a way to patch the game. After all, with this official explanation, the game can release new characters at will to trick players into spending money.

The benefits of fusion are immeasurable, provided it succeeds.

However, the possibilities offered by this tactic will still tempt the young Saiyan warriors to try it out.

Of course, this "attempt" does not refer to confirming the possibility that "the combined strength is enough to defeat the emperor," but simply to confirm whether the steps he remembered were correct.

That's right, although Tomat knew the main movements of the dance steps, he was not clear about the details.

The angle of the limbs, the rhythm of breathing, and the speed of the steps all affect the fusion effect.

Let's go back to the year AGE—to the planet Vegeta, which was still standing.

"Tess, I have a request."

"What's going on? Why so mysterious?"

In the desolate wilderness of the planet, the still-young Tomat sat with another girl of his race, enjoying their rest time after training.

This place, where no one of their own kind would come to disturb them, had long become a secret base for the two to exchange and hone their skills.

Seeing the girl's straightforward expression, Tomat hesitated for a moment before asking:

"How about becoming one with me?"

"...Um?"

For the next few seconds, all that could be heard was the sound of the wind sweeping across the distant land. Tiss's expression gradually went blank—then she suddenly shoved Tomat, sending him flying into a distant rock wall, and then stomped her feet while screaming in panic.

"ah!?!?!?"

Her face turned bright red.

What I mean is...

Thomas immediately climbed out of the rock wall, brushing off the dust as he stepped forward to explain. But halfway through his sentence, Tiss reached out to block Thomas, turning her face away and repeatedly interrupting him, saying:

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"No need for explanation, I understand what you mean!"

"But isn't bringing this up at this time a bit...too direct?!"

Even Saiyans, whose profession and passion are combat, know quite a bit about what they should know—or rather, it's not surprising that they acquire this knowledge early on, given their Saiyan heritage; they're simply very open-minded and have very little sense of shame.

Becoming strong is very important, and so is leaving behind strong offspring to continue the bloodline. Therefore, in Saiyan society, most people actually only maintain a relatively primitive partnership.

I'm very strong, do you want to have my baby?

You're so strong, do you want me to have your baby?

This resulted in very perfunctory and chaotic partnerships among Saiyans, leading to the birth of many unclaimed babies, most of whom were abandoned by their mothers after birth and left in nursery pods.

However, due to the fact that some people have no interest in even this, coupled with the existence of Saiyan-style early childhood education, population growth remains slow.

Ultimately, Saiyans are more concerned with fighting than with creating humans.

No, I meant...
