Day in and day out, Laezi did nothing but punch and move rocks. Anyone with eyes could see that this small corner of wasteland had been shifted at least somewhat to the right, the largest boulders and mountain-like pillars having ground-down bases with long, rugged tracks behind them, indicating that they had been pushed! Smaller boulders, about Laezi's size (four-and-a-half feet) or larger, had distinctive indentions along their faces... So distinctive, in fact, if one looked closely and ignored the cracks spider-webbing out from their edges, one could make out the outline of a pair of small fists drilling somewhat deeply into their faces.
...In essence, this small piece of the Spinach Wastelands had gone through a relentless beatdown... the only question was "Who had done this?" and "Why?"
As for who, A little blue girl could be seen crouched near one of the larger boulders, her fingers dug under its base! Her back tensed, her head thrown back in exertion, her eyes clenched shut as she HEAVED upwards with all her might! Slowly, an inch at a time, the little blue Majin PULLED the boulder UP and LIFTED it over her head, dry, loose earth raining down off her head from above as she struggled against its weight! Sweat rolled down her face as she focused her energy solely on holding up the rock, the muscles on her arms flexing intensely as they struggled against both gravity, and the Majin's waning stamina! For most, lifting and shoving around rocks was hardly an exercise. With a little ki, one could probably make them float without even TOUCHING them! Laezi, however... had very limited knowledge in the use of such things, however. Sure, she could fly and sense energy, but all that was inherent. It was as natural to her as... say, seeing or hearing. Using it to enhance her strength...? That was a little beyond the little blue child at this point! That meant that Laezi was lifting BOULDERS with sheer, raw MUSCLE... but the body, even one as rubbery and magical as hers, had its limits. Already Laezi had dropped to one knee, her lips pulled back in a frustrated snarl. She should have been stronger than this... She KNEW she could get stronger but... why was it taking so LONG!?
With a GASP, Laezi THREW her arms forward at the same time she kicked off the ground, throwing herself back while attempting to throw the rock forward. As the stone came down, SHAKING the ground and kicking up dirt for meters around it, Laezi had just managed to slip away with the soles of her boots mere half-inches from the edges from the rock's face!
"HUFF... HUFF... It not faaaaaair..." Laezi whined, plopping down on her back and FLAILING her arms and legs in frustration! "It all so HEAVY stiiiiiiiill...! Wanna be strongeeeeeer nooooooow....!"
..AAAAAAAAND....
That, right there, was why.
