Ark 4 Episode 12: To Better Ones Self...

Can't save everyone....
Tetsu would wake up in his and Asami’s apartment in the master bed room, shirtless with a pair of boxers on….he couldn’t tell which ones however. But he was indeed  comfortable. “uhhhh…..damn….what happened?...the court case? Ah….Keyome got free didn’t he.” Tetsu turned on his back and shook his head laughing. “…Keyome’s pretty fucking hilarious for a ruthless guy.” Tetsu laid there while the sun shine on his face. Asami must have gone on to work at the hospital. Heh kind of funny Tetsu ended up dating a mob boss of sorts. She did her job and she did it right however. She was helping people…even though Tetsu did indeed disagree with some of her methods of money making such as,  seeing morphine on the sides and whatnot. Tetsu shook his head…”It almost seems like Yakuza run the world…who knew organized crime was so damn hard to fight.” Tetsu let the events of his and Keyome’s fight run through his head, like a skipping CD. “No matter how many people save, more will die in their place…..” Tetsu winced at that comment. Though he understood this principle, it hurt none the less to know it. The cold hard truth. He can’t. Save. Everyone. Tetsu sat up out of bed and looked forward at the wall. After the court case in District 3, Tetsu’s appeal for better housing for the KPD got denied cold turkey. But why? We have a small shack in the middle of a big city. People have been getting robed, and gangs have been getting uppity. Even the Kagemaru clans drug operations don’t seem to be changing much at all..tetsu busted at least 2 or 3x more than usual, even doing 3 in the same day. Tetsu was trying to do it by himself, but he couldn’t. He needed help. He stood up and looked at the ceiling for a second (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kayr0JyYyuw&list=PLC4854AE5BFD227AD click iiiiiiiiiiit mood music xD) “It’s time…to stop clowing around Ryoji………” Tetsu quickly put on a simple shirt, short sleeves cut off at the shoulder. He then slaped on a leather vest over it, with the sleeves cut off already. He put on a black headband, and let his bangs hang over it ever so gently, and then sliped on some black pants, with his kneck black straped shoes. He was going to head to the lab and get in some trainng before he set off on his new journey. He was going to go the the District 3 KPD, and personally request assistance. For not himself. For the people of the city who can’t defend themselves. More and more people will keep dying…if the people of the city can’t do their jobs right. It’s time for the KPD to stop being second rate bribies…and start being fucking cops.

Learning something new..














Tetsu arrived at the lab 20 minutes after departure. He walked into the lab, and removed his shirt, tossing it onto the floor. Ochigi would look at tetsu, and quickly stand up, witout uttering a word. He’d then follow tetsu to the training area of the lab (http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/341/8/a/laboratory_concept_2_by_cloudminedesign-d5nbtkt.jpg  ) it was wide and expansive, with multiple chambers for different types of trainng. From speed, strength, stamina, you name it. “What will it be this time son? Speed maybe?” Tetsu shook his head as he headed for the destructive chamber. A room composed of four walls: a steel wall, a stainless steel wall, a tiatainuim wall, and an Iron Wall. These walls were designed to test tetsu’s strength and destructive capabilities, as such he could be as reckless as he wanted to be. The room itself is at least the size of a college classroom. Room to attack from a distance or to attack up close by moving to the wall in general. “I’m gonna try and work with my kinetic prowess some more. I think where I’m at is good, but I need a way to start attacking from a distance..” Tetsu crossed his arms and began aloud to himself. “I’ve got to be ready no matter what…it seems like every time I grow, Keyome…..seems to be right there in the same field as I am. As if we both keep growing in power…” Unbeknownst to tetsu, his combat empowernment was always working no matter what. Like a saiyan, he grows stronger with battle he enters, and enjoys it the whole way thought. But this was different. It seemed like him and Keyome were almost “competing” of sorts. Tetsu was determined to keep up, and not loose this race of light versus darkness. “Keyome…” Tetsu balled his fist, as his dad closed the chamber door, and left him in there.”I will keep up with you. Using less power than I did last time. This was how things usually go. Tetsu is shut in the room and his father began to talk to him. “So tetsu, what do you have planned? Hows your kinetic manipulation working out for you so far?” Tetsu looked up, as he walked over to the iron wall, and began to punch at it, but not hit it directly. Tetsu punched a sright forward punch, but left an inch between his fist and the wall. “It’s good. I used it onTasanagi and it worked quite well…I can increase my blows signifigantly by abosorbing kinetic energy, including the strength of blows.” Tetsu had now punched at this wall 20 times. He was gathering kinetic energy by the movement of his punches, and then once he had punched 20 more times, he then finally let his punch flow thorugh against the Iron wall, piercing thorugh it completely leaving a hole the perfect size of his forearm in the wall. “As long as I have movement at my disposal, I can keep myself energized through all means.” Ochigi spoke into the mic “Would it be possible to convert kinetic energy into chi?” Tetsu shook his head. “Nah. Their two different types of energy. I can just manipulate it really. That’s all I can do is redirect the energy by using my own as a conduit…” Tetsu would punch another spot in the Iron wall, using the Inner ki strike, to punch a hole throught he wall, but not perice it with his entire hand. He’d also redirect that force to a spot 5 inches above the spot her originally punched at. “KYAAAAA!!” Tetsu would punch at the metal again and imply the Quake technique, in which the whole wall of iron would collapse inwards on itself, and become a huge dent, encasing the entire iron wall.

After a 20 more Iron walls and Ki strikes in 45 minutes, loud “CLACK” noises were made and the walls fell thorugh some kind of floorway opening. To which machine hands placed another wall of Iron in fornt of tetsu. “Well in any case…why do you feel the need to keep up with Keyome? I thought stoping him was the point. He’s a crime lord. You’re a cop. This isn’t a compition tetsu..this is life. He kills people, and does things, evil things, that leave good people in turmoil..” Ochigi kept silent trying not to think about his own incident. Tetsu placed his hands against the wall, and looked down. “I know dad….but it’s just. The problem also lies within the city. In his own, sick and demented way…he’s trying to fix it. Sadly..he may even be doing a better job.” Ochigi stood up, outraged by his sons words “WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! YOUR’RE THE GOOD GUY! YOU SAVE THE PEOPLE! Y-“ “I CANT! SAVE! EVERYONE DAMMIT!” The room fell silent….tetsu kept one hand on the wall, and the other one over his face. Shadowing his emotion from his father. “Keyome has the bigger basis..he’s organized. Stratigic. Cunning. He’s even built some sort of Secret Army of some sort. Maru Jutei’s or something…I wouldn’t know this unless I hadn’t traced the specs of some of the armors I saw in the sewers. He’s not just running a clan…he’s building a military power..” Ochigi sat back down in shock…”Tasanagi…a military power? In Kasihana city? We…could potentially be the target of the country because of him…but why…why is he doing this? Yakuza, no matter how advanced, don’t run around building world powers..” Tetsu sighed and paced in place for a minute…”I don’t know…but I won’t worry about it until he does something brash. What we have now is time. Time to build. My only hope was appealing to district three but they denied me..so I’m going to personally take a trip there myself, and ask in person.” Ochigi looked puzzled. “Son…you can’t just barge in through the front door. The place is a fortress meant to keep anyone out and everyone in. It’s an entire city of cops. Though you are one, your not of their rank, and the chances of you getting in are slim to none.” Tetsu looked at the glass screen his father was behind. “I’ll get in. that’s a promise.” Tetsu nodded. “However that’s antoher reason I’m training. Fought some guys down at the KPD with some freaky abilities. Briggs informed me they had the watered down super soilder serum, similar to what Donnie Yun once had.” Ochigi was typing things up on his computer to anazlye the conversation at hand. “Ah made by Danchou…the old head of the Soramaru clan. He was killed by Keyome as well was he not?” Tetsu nodded. “So they say….but when it comes to the underground crime world, theres only so much you can trust.” Tetsu would inhale and then exhale. “Back to the task at hand…I had an idea about my kinetic abilty.” Ochigi nodded to show he was listening. Tetsu paced back and forth, choosing his words before speaking. “What if…I could. Instead of manipulating the kinetic energy, hold in place. Like a charge of some sort. I’m trying to figure out the effects of that. From what I concur, it would cuase-“ “Boom.” Tetsu looked up at ocihgi with an eyebrow raised. “Boom.” Ochigi said once again.” Kinetic energy is the energy of movement, i.e acceleration. If you used your chi to kinetically charge a still, non organic substance, you could potentially v-“ “Vibrate the molecules so fast…they’d combust.” As Ochigi nodded, tetsu would begin attempting this new technique.

Gonna be a long one...
Tetsu had been at it for a solid week…..this new training of his was tiresome indeed, but he didn’t want to rest until he had perfected the art itself. “Okay tetsu…renember the steps as we made. Don’t over do it…” Ochigi would look at his sons burnt arms, and wince a bit. Tetsu would be panting, and looking at the solid wall of Steel, and it’s many many burn spots, and open holes. “I can’t…..i-…have to master  it….to the point where it becomes like breathing!” Tetsu would charge his chi again, into his left fist, and strike at another spot on the wall. He’d converted the potential energy in the spot of the wall, to kinetic, and accelerated it’s molecules so fast,t he wall exploded in an outward combustion of air. Tetsu learned that these explosions can be fatal to him to, which is why this move is suited for long range attempts, and close quarter combat surprise. And the reason for the burnt arms…it was also noted that tetsu can charge an object much bigger than himself, but it takes time to do so. The most common thing he can charge so far demsonstrated in the week is small objects like his wire or his shuriken. Even his Adamantium trench blades are a viable soruce for kinetic energy tranferrenc e. Tetsu also noted he can expand explosion and with ochigi’s help calculated that tetsu in his Hadou Kusseit could potentially destroy a city block…but sadly this comes with a cost. The process is complex i.e energy conversion, but can be tire some. “now tetsu renember what we discussed.” “I know dad. No charging human beings, with firey combustion unless threat is iminant.” Tetsu knew he could actually kinetic charge soemones shirt, and blow the smitherines. This is why he’ll only use the low grade fore explosions ones, that cuase bad bruising and break the skin. However it will still hurt as much as a 9mm pistol shot at close range….tetsu finally stoped, and sighed. He then sat down on the floor with burnt arms. He’d preformed the firey explosion and destroyed 20 more walls along with them. He was tired. But he wouldn’t stop. “Dad, toss me the bandages. We’re gonna try something different this time around.” Ochigi would walk into the room with his son, and hand him a roll, and some anesthetic to clean the wounds. The two sat donw together criss crossed, in almost perfect sync. Ochigi broke the silence “You always put yourself this this. Sigh, must you be so harsh on your own body?” Tetsu bit the bandage and held it in place, as he tightened it. “The only way to improve is to endure. You tought me that when I was thirteen, doing martial arts trounements heh heh”. Tetsu grinneds, as his newly bandaged arms folded accros his chest. “In any case, I think I’ve mastred the charging aspect of it all. Now comes what can I do with it exactly…” Ochigi gave tetsu a pencil. Tetsu took it an then asked sarcasticly “What….you want my autograph pops?” Ochigi would facepalm himself at tetsu’s dummer than dumb question. Ochigi would then lean forward a bit and begin to explain his idea. “No son….look what your doing is vibrating molecutes so fast to the point where they combust. But if you use a conduit for say a smaller object, like this pencil, you could vibrate the molecules to a point where they become razor sharp, and become more of a piercing aspect than an exploding one.” Tetsu pondered it. He was able to channel the energy thorugh his trench blade….the sharpness probably increased also, though tetsu never thought to take note of it. Tetsu nodded. “So, in term the kinetic charge has 2 aspects so far: charging, and piercing.” Ochigi noded. “Anything you charge can become a grenade or incredibly sharp tool.” Tetsu liked the sound of that. With his already vast amount of chi energy, simply using it to manipulate a naturally made energy would serve better on tetsu’s physical body, and energy in general. “I have a lot of energy to spare regardless, but this will benefit me even better. More diversity indeed.” Tetsu nodded and hoped straight up, his peak human endurance kicking in to the fullest. “Alright dad! Bring me every single inanimate object you can find, and lets put up that titainium wall shall we?” Ochigi nodded and then snapped as a mini bot entred the room ( what they look like if anyone’s been wondering https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRi_iVMK8z9Mnx9GhkuQ4vvh67Yi85eVegYx3z2jtPfpoNbHonrjQ ). “Bring every useless piece of small solid matter you can muster in your storage to this room. And a cup of coffe.” Ochigi looked at tetsu. “And a red bull. This is gonna be a loooooong night.” The robot beeped, and then left. Tetsu stood up, and thought aloud to himself. “Better watch out Keyome….i’m making waves here.” Tetsu smirked. “And so will the Kasihana city police department by the time I’m done.”

So...Much...Power....


Tetsu stood there prepping his body. Training today was going to be…out of the ordinary. Tetsu stood infornt of a cannon, that was modernized for his height (what it looks like http://images-mediawiki-sites.thefullwiki.org/02/3/1/9/67163024075003432.png Heres info on said beam if one is confused: http://yakuza-mob-roleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Ochigi_Ryoji#Force_Beam_Technology ). Tetsu would stand infront of this cannon, and begin speaking. “You renember the plan right dad?” Ochigi was in the room above, looking at his son through the window. Ochigi nodded and gave a thumbs up.” I’ll only increase output when you think you can’t handle anymore. Now this is risky tetsu….if you get seriously damaged by this, it could potentially perice your being, so make sure your chi reserves are up. Enter enhanced mode.” Tetsu noded. He then charged his being with chi, as he was going to attempt something…pretty stupid. Tetsu was going to attempt to push the limits of just how much kinetic energy he could absorb, and what it could be absorbed form. Tetsu though to himself, as the cannon began to charge..”Everything that moves has kinetic energy..as long as it has to move, it can be made. If I could absorb kinetic energy from hits, and forces…maybe I can do the same for just about anything. As long as it moves however….well no turning back now.” Tetsu would stand ready and firm as the cannon began to create a bright white ball of light. Tetsu was exactly 10 feet away from it. He stood with his legs apart, and crouched down slightly, with his arms by his side to brace himself. “PEWNNN!!!!” would be the noise emitted as the cannon shot a bright vibrant white beam of light at Tetsu. The blast moving over 100mph, at such a speed. Different colored lines of light surrounded the general beam as well. Signifying it was indeed light from the light spectrum. Tetsu stood fast, and the moment before the beam made contact, his reflexes kicked in….he didn’t move a muscle. The beam collided with tetsu head, on directly in his chest. It burned like hell…..and tetsu wasn’t able to preform his procedure as he was sent flying backwards 23 feet, stumbling and rolling on the cold hard metallic floor. “TETSU!!!!” Ochigi would start to get up and rush down there to check on his son. The mini bots even started to mobilize, around tetsu but….tetsu held up a thumbs up. He had a giant black and pink mark in the dead center of his stomach….and claimed to be okay. “Tetsu lets just stop this okay? This is inhumane, it’ll never go thorugh like we-“ “NO!” Tetsu yelled as he stumbled, to get on his feet. He’d been hit by a force traveling at 100mph, with a high impact temperature…he was hurting alright. It would’ve been even more fatal had tetsu not enhanced his being with chi…it could’ve killed him…a testament to the durability perks chi can give a person. Tetsu would shoo the bots away, and make his way over to the same spot he was originally in. “A-again!” Tetsu would proclaim. Ochigi swallowed hard…but  he beilived in his son, and decided to charge the cannon again. The look in tetsu’s eyes was different…he looked dead serious. He needed to be able to hand high levels of punishment and get the timing of his kinetic absorption just as fast as his reflexes were. …the cannon fired, exactly like last time. Ochigi clenched his fist in anticipation….and then ‘KA-POOM!” (kudos to pallas xD click it. Trust me.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpawr06KCpk   ) Tetsu’s body collided with the beam but this time…he wasn’t moving as much. He was fighting it, using his chi? No. “HE’S….ACTUALLY ABSORBING THE KINETIC ENERGY FORM SOMETHING THAT HUGE?!?!” Tetsu grunted in pressure…he was taking in so much energy at once. His chi was increasing….rapidly! His hair began to stand up, as he then nodded to his dad to increase the force. Ochigi turned up the force on the beam, and it grew so big it was taller than tetsu by 2 inches. Tetsu then gritted his teeth, and began to spread his arms around the beam, holding it using kinetic energy alone, to continue to absorb all the power he could from it’s rapid 100mph movement. Tetsu continued to do it, until his chi spiked so high, his body would emit this unbeilivable large blue glow that encompassed the side of the blast he was on. “I-I CAN’T HOLD IIIIIIIIIT!” Tetsu then let go, and chose to be shot. The beam collided with his being and he was sent flying backwards, crashing thorugh the walls of the lab, and out of the base’s interior in general. His body was so superchareged with kinetic energy…he didn’t feel a thing. His being shot thorugh the walls like a razor, and he found himself outside of the mountain, near the beach. He was hovering over it for a second. Tetsu’s eyes were encompassed by a bright blue….as he then started to fall to the ground facing the ocean. He was falling from at lest 30 feet, having been shot out and up like that….tetsu charged the energy in his fist before hitting the ground. “TUYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!” Tetsu’s fist collided with the sand, and the sheer energy stored in his body, shot forward thorugh the ground. This force was so strong, the sea infront of him literally split open. the walls of water shot 20 feet high, and the very distance of this force shot 3 miles in distance. Ochigi had been monitoring tetsu using the camera’s on his watch and outside the base underground. He quickly took the air shoot, and shot out of the mountain himself, falling down safely by parachute…he then arrived where tetsu was, and went beside him, and pated him on the back. He looked at the ocean…falling back into place. The walls stood there for a solid 2 minutes.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvnSYLv_oF4&list=PL414B866281A723C0 more mood music) Tetsu was on the ground, gasping for air….his body broke into an intensive sweat, and his arms wobbled just from  holding his own body weight up. “Tetsu…..d-do you realize….what you just did…?” Ochigi’s eyes were still focused on the amazing distance this single force travled. Tetsu’s body was a living conduit for kinetic energy at that point, so much so he HAD to discharge it or he would’ve been in deep trouble and could’ve cuase the energy to explode from his being….Tetsu laid down face first in the sand as the waves of the water crashed over his forehead…he’d speak once his breath was cought..” I know dad *pant* *pant* I also know…I can’t do that again..” Tetsu knew he couldn’t ever get that much kinetic energy from anywere unless he was in a car or rapidly moving. But a landmark was indeed set, as multiple people saw this wave who lived near the shore. Even some people further into the district would be aware of it’s movement, though only because they were passing by or had been called about it. Tetsu lay unconscious from hyperkinetic exertion…..that kind of power could be rarely obtained, though lord knows when he’d ever have to use it.

A Father and A Son. Everlasting Tag Team...


“SHOOM! SHOOM! SH-SHOOM!” was the noise made as Tetsu threw the inanimate objects threw the solid metal known as Titanium. He’d made a weeks recovery thanks to peak human attributes and little nursing form his loving girlfriend.Tetsu would grab at another object he was going to kinetic charge….this time, it was a dime. Tetsu looked at the dime for a second and studied it. “Alright lets see how something this small will handle it.” Tetsu used his chi to charge the potential energy into kinetic energy within the dime, causing it to emit a bright blue glow. Tetsu then took the arm with the dime in hand, and drew it back, crossing it over his body, and then flinging his arm back wards, releasing the dime, and throwing it a 120mph towards the titanium wall. The dime traveled, and went straight through the wall in a nice clean cut, and stopped dead against an Adamantium base wall behind the titanium wall. The dime then fell down into the pit with the other inanimate objects that were down there. There were pencils, playing cards, even some shuriken, and a pebble.( the mood fits to perfectly xD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRJ40KnjFdo&list=PL01A3B388E49C1F7A ) Ochigi walks into the room and claps for Tetsu, praising his only son. “You did it! In two weeks you’ve mastered the balance to control your kinetic charges in various sizes. This is definitely going to be beneficial to your marital arts style!” Tetsu nodded and smiled, with scratched up fingers, and bandages hands and arms. “yes…I’ve achieved a new abilities indeed. Thanks for all your help dad.” Tetsu hugged Ochigi. Ochigi was shocked. It’s been so long since they actually hugged each other. “Tetsu you okay?......you’ve not hugged me since way before I don’t even remember when.” Tetsu held on to his dad, and then let got, and looked at him. “I don’t know I guess…I just was happy to spend some time with my pops. I mean we always do things together, but it’s usually you know…you make it  I use it.” Tetsu looked down for a second. Reflecting. His dad was one of the people he wanted to keep close…and keep a relationship with. Tetsu then felt a hand on his head. Ochigi would stand and look at his son in eye. “You’ve  got to realize son. What I do. I never mind doing for you. No matter what. I sit in that lab 24/7 and make your gadgets, design special training programs…I do it cause I want to. Not cause I’m forced too.” Ochigi smiled with his cheesy inherited smile. “I’m glad you’re doing what your doing. No matter what happens, your my son. I’ll always trust your decisions, without a second thought.” Tetsu smiled and teared up slightly. “Thanks pops…..” Tetsu wiped his eyes, keeping his voice from cracking. “Well common dad. The chi training is over and, I’ve still got the keep up my physical body. And push it even further.”  Ochigi nodded, as the bot came back with a couple glasses of wine. Tetsu and Ochigi drunk them in unison. Then the two headed to the rest of the training facility. Tetsu was going to better himself before attempting to better others, including this city. The dawn of a new KPD was coming soon…
