A-Maiz-ing Training Thread! Two puns in one!

"Hyah! Hah! HYAH!"
Maiz struggles to throw out another flurry of punches out, having been working on physical training all day. Not even a minute had been spent on energy, which was rare for the pony-tailed Saiyan, as he seemed to love working with energy attacks in general.
The last fight he'd had with Onyan, her close combat had essentially managed to negate his power advantage. As a result, he's spent the better part of the day focusing not only on physical power, but technique as well, working on dealing with someone who managed to get even closer than arm's length.
Hooks. Uppercuts. Elbows and knees. All moves he was working on throwing into his regular martial techniques. All moves that were awkward at first, but slowly became more and more comfortable.
Next time, it wouldn't be so easy. Who knew that being tiny was his biggest weakness to fight against?

Try as he might, Maiz couldn't shake this restless feeling.
It was something he'd felt since arriving at Myria, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Just something was... off. Wrong, even. Yet he'd double checked everything on the ship with his limited knowledge, he'd made sure both ladies he'd taken off with were fine.
But still.
He lets out a long breath, then goes into more physical technique training, trying to block out the feeling. If nothing else, it would take his mind off for a while.
Kicks and punches, even a few flips here and there to keep his agility up to snuff. It didn't matter that he could normally just fly and avoid having to do those things, it was good practice in and of itself.
Yet, even as he's starting to wind down, he can feel it still.
Gritting his teeth, Maiz powers up with a shout, pushing his aching and exhausted body to go even further. Every muscle in his body screams in protest as he keeps going, but he refuses to stop.
Whatever this feeling is, all he could do is get as strong as possible in the meantime.

Another day, another training.
This one had a different goal in mind than usual, however. Maiz stands in his transformed state, his replacement for the regular Oozaru form. He takes a moment to become accustomed, even though he'd made great efforts to make the form feel as natural as possible before, then begins to power up.
Higher and higher it goes, until he finally reaches the limit of the amount of power he can bring forth with this form. He holds it, trying to memorize the feeling.
Then activates False Super Saiyan.
The power surges through him, and Maiz can feel his body buckle at first, then grow used to it. He'd mixed the transformations before, but this was the first time he was specifically measuring the power and how it interacted.
After all, it was clear his Oozaru state could handle more power than it currently output on its own. The trick was to figure out how to push out more power out of it.

Time to take it a step further.
Much as last time, Maiz carefully takes on his Oozaru form, measures his power, then becomes a False Super Saiyan at the same time. His power flares up, and he can feel his body strain to contain it at first, then it becomes more natural.
Again. It feels like he can push more out of this form somehow, if it's able to withstand this level of power. He just doesn't know how to tap into it.
To further test, however, he creates the Resonant Enhancement Circle in front of himself, letting it grow larger and larger. Then, he throws himself through it.
He'd tried doing just attacks and singular limbs before, but this was something new. More power flows through him, and the strain nearly catches him off guard before he's able to stabilize it. After a few seconds, it fades away, like normal, and he's left with the familiar strength he was at.
"...definitely room to improve."

Maiz is becoming very comfortable in the combined form of Oozaru and False Super Saiyan, there seems to be something there, just out of reach, forming in this power. The Resibabt Enhancement Circle seems to have triggered something.
But what?

With another mystery unsolved, Maiz continues to push himself. The more he thought about it, the more Maiz thought the concept of combination attacks was a great idea. The very nature of adding things together to make it stronger was easy to understand, but what if someone else wasn't around when he was trying to do a combo? Well, he'd just have to combo with himself. In a move fairly similar to his Power Ball technique, Maiz strains for a moment, then creates a bright white energy ball to hover in front of him. Then, he goes to create another, but pauses. The strain was significant. Pushing it too fast meant he was basically frying his body by shoving too much energy through it. He'd have to take his time with it. After a few more seconds of waiting, he creates a second ball. It was good... but for what he was looking for, he needed more. Seconds pass by again, before he finally makes the third energy ball, letting them hover in a triangular formation in front of him. This was where it gets tricky. Taking a deep breath, Maiz reaches out both hands, using them to focus as he forces the swirling energy balls to collide together. The resulting energy is then channeled forward in front of him in a blinding beam, nearly throwing him on his rear from the sheer recoil. Maiz sits there for a moment, staring at the trail left by the beam with a stupid grin on his face. "...alright. Looks like a Kilo Nova to me." ---------------------- Learning ability: (15%-60%) Neutron Star/Kilo Nova: Maiz creates three small but intense spheres of energy over the course of three posts. On the fourth post, he slams them together and fires the resulting energy forwards in a bright and powerful beam with both hands! Each sphere created adds 15% PL to a maximum of 60%, and takes a full post to create, while the beam takes another full post to fire.

Maiz seems to have lost progress on whatever he had discovered before.

Maiz feels like he lost progress on something, and as such, tries to recreate what he'd done before.
Much as last time, Maiz carefully takes on his Oozaru form, measures his power, then becomes a False Super Saiyan at the same time. His power flares up, and he can feel his body strain to contain it at first, then it becomes more natural.

He'd tried doing just attacks and singular limbs before, but this was something new, he'd only done it once before. More power flows through him, and the strain nearly catches him off guard before he's able to stabilize it. After a few seconds, it fades away, like normal, and he's left with the familiar strength he was at.

Slipping through the magic circle this time causes a rush of power, but the mixture finally became volatile and it finally erupted.
The words of the Resonant Enhancement Circle burn their way into Maiz's Aura causing extreme pain. He loses the red and gold glow of the False Super Saiyan and his body is coiled by the words pulled like super tight rope constricting his mass back down to a normal size... For him.
However the aura has become a dark red and purple mixture.
Maiz loses False Super Saiyan.
Semi Perfect Oozaru has evolved.
Maiz has lost Semi Perfected Oozaru.
Maiz gains access to a new form.
Mystic Oozaru: +75% PL, can only be mixed with Super Saiyan. The Mystic Oozaru covers the Saiyan in fur except for their chest, abs, and hands. At any moment the Mystic Oozaru can call upon their Primal Rage losing some of their self control to increase their PL another +10%.

Truth be told, if anyone was equipped to deal with this new transformation Maiz had been... ah... "gifted" by Kyber, it was him.
Negative emotions constantly bombarding him? Well, that was a lot like dealing with his Semi-Perfected Oozaru, he'd eventually learned to tolerate and push past those emotions. That side effect had essentially disappeared (before the form had recently disappeared).
Constantly transformed? He'd trained himself to deal with both False Super Saiyan and Oozaru both, staying in each form for as long as possible. He'd even managed to sleep in the latter form without reverting. Mixing the two had even been possible without losing his self-control.
He should be fine.
At least, this is what Maiz keeps telling himself as he struggles to calm down, his aura flaring and sparking around him. His eyes close, and he grits his teeth, forcing himself to breathe slower.
In. Out. In. Out.
If he was going to use this form constantly, then he needed to make it actually usable. How else was he supposed to wipe out the Gods?

Maiz's attempt to calm down makes him even angrier and frustrated. The agents of the Gods who place rules on mortals like slaves. Are just as much in need of Destruction. The Guardians and the Kai.

That's IT!
Self-control wasn't working. In fact, it was making it worse. So that was it then. This transformation wanted him mad? He was going to get mad.
Maiz lets the restraint he has normally slip away, letting himself feel all the anger and fury he usually keeps on a short leash. Every single instance of injustice against him, every slight he'd ever had to endure, every instance he'd heard of his stupid people getting killed for being too dumb to fight together.
Every bit of it made him furious.
Maiz powers up as far as he can go, letting that anger flow freely. Maybe this was the path to power that could rival them?
After all, how strong could the Gods be, really?

The power its self finally feels foreign to Maiz, but the Dragon Ball reacts to hsi rage, manipulating his feelings a bit. Maiz now slightly hates Saiyans, they were weak because they were stubborn. They were few in number because they killed each other instead of their enemies. Maybe the rebellion was right. Maybe the King needs to be replaced to change things completely with an iron fist.

The worst part was, aside from the rebellion part, these were all thoughts that Maiz had experienced before. Maybe not quite as strong, but they were definitely there.
Even as he works through that pure, unfiltered anger, there's a small method to this madness. He needs to know his limits if he's going to surpass them. As such, the moment he hits that plateau of anger and power, he holds it for a moment. Then, he shifts into his Mystic Oozaru form.
Mixing transformations was always risky, but this had an additional risk to it. The newfound power wasn't the problem, but the moment Maiz dips into the form's Primal Rage, he feels himself swallowed up in the pure anger of the moment.
This was it. How much anger could he actually, conceivably be able to withstand? Time to find out.

Maiz blacks out. In his mind an endless sea of nothing, except for an echo of his thoughts, until finally he is there. Standing? Floating? Laying down? Who knows, but there is also another Maiz in there, pale skin, black eyes as if empty holes leading to another oblivion.
"You know whose fault all of this really is? The Nobility. Not just Vegeta, or Saiyan Nobility... Maiz think about it. Gods? Thats just another form of Nobility. Anyone who calls themselves nobility is at fault for all this hardship around you. The Royal you met? First thing he did was blast you to teach Onyan a lesson. You could of died. Thats where your true power will come from. Destroying every Noble in the universe."
