Thunrian: ( http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=paPFl5WMZqs ) " PUSH!" Keyth would have been pushing a large boulder infront of him, everyone else in the class had been pushing there boulders with ease, But keyth still couldnt get his to budge. His hands pressing against the large stone before he slummped down panting. The day passed ( For me. You guys are on your pace XD ) As night fall hit he'd still be the only one pushing his boulder, refusing to give up. Mamoru continued to watch Keyths efforts all throughout the night from a distance. As mourning hit, Keyth had fallen asleep and had been awaken by a cool breeze. He stood eying the massive rock infront of him as he pulled up his Gi pants, his dead set focused on the stone he closed his eyes finally. Allowing his mind to center itself around a focal point... concentrating on his angers so when he began to open his eyes... his eyes had focused into a bright blue before they both shifted red, and then settled into an orange. " Focus... my anger. I control my anger, it doesnt control me. This is the same thing my dad showed me. Though what he taughed me was to force my anger into my brain to create a better level of focus and analyzing. The raging hadou kussei... something that was self taught and came to me the angrier I got. My strength doubled but only because I was so mad. Its the penecale of uncontrol. And although its a level of chi mastery... I still havent fully mastered my anger...and I see that now..." Keyth said getting flash backs of him raging out on people in his past. " And that's ok.... Because that's who I am. But..." He said putting his hands on the stone, allowing his hand to glow briefly, the frown on his face had become apparant as Keyth attempted to push. " I wont... let that be a Handicap..." He said pushing again. "...Anger isnt a weakness... It's simply the slash of the blade....and I'm that blade. I am a blade.... a sharp blade that....just... needs... Directionn..." He said as the boulder began to move, allowing all of his anger within to focus itself around his body, he was now truly using anger empowerment. Allowing him to push the boulder with a slow and steady pace as he continued to grunt. " UNNNGGH.....Calm... focus..."He said to himself as he slowly pushed it to the other side across the finish line. He collapsed and hit the ground before taking a few minutes to get back up. Mamoru smirked before walking off himself, taking the time to leap high into the air elsewhere. The sun had started to come up and Keyth watched as it began to rise. "...Lets do it again." He said to himself, and so he did. Slowly pushing it back, and forth on the racing lines. By the time the rest of the class finally made it over to train. They'd all stand with there jaws dropped as they watched Keyth from a distance. All they'd see was a massive boulder racing back and forth through the boulder racing lines. The boulder had been moving, though they couldnt see who had been pushing it due to the dust. " Wow master Mamoru's so awsome look at how fast he's pushing that thing!" Jonah said as he fist pummped. " Hm, nope not me out there." The large cat sensei said with his jaw dropped as all of his students turned to eye him shouting his name at the top of there lungs. " MASTER MAMORU!?!?" Jonah blinked and looked back at the smokey racing track, "No way only you could do that! Wait if thats not you then who is it!?" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0A9aEOt4MM) " AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!" Keyth came blasting out of the dust with the clouds exploding around his body like a fighter jet blasted out of it. The boulder sat on his shoulders as he filpped twice with the large rock on his shoulders, landing infront of his class mates with the boulder on his right shoulder. A Smirk on his face as he tilted his head to the right, he was sweating up a ton, a big smile on his face as he gave his Sensei a thumbs up. " Hahah...How's....that.. for learning huh...." Keyth said with a big grin on his face. All the other students had scowls on there faces, sheer jealously...espically Jonah. "...Tch..." He said eying Keyth with gritted teeth. Mamoru began to laugh and then he nodded. "....Phase two, your ready now." Keyth launched the boulder off his shoulder, allowing it to fly a full 15 feet distance crashing into the ground. " I've been ready! Lets do this shit!" Jonah watched Keyth walk off with Mamoru. "How could he with no chi! That things weighs over 18 tons...THAT BASTARD! ...None of us... who's been here for over 15 years of our lives have gotten to Phase to, yet this newcomer has! UNGGHH!" ( http://www.videogamesblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/dan-in-street-fighter-alpha.jpg ) Flicking his nose Jonah tilted his head down. " I wont...accept this..."

Thunrian: "You are not like me, I am Oni. But you are Kin to me, you are Onihourda. I wish to teach you a technique, the Key to my grappling style as a whole. I'm sure you already know what grappling is but i'll also be giving you my description to the following as well. But before I get into further detail with that. What I'm about to teach you is an ability only Onihoruda's can use. It is called the 'Akuma no honshitsu'. Or Demons essences. Within the Demons essences, you wil be able to utilize a multidue of things, and it wont be something easy to learn. The reason why my other students cannot use it is because they are indeed Human. But, you...are not. I can teach the others the powerful grappling techniques, but you I can teach the full ability to. While releasing your Akuma no honshitsu, you will release the demonienergy within yourself. This is not your chi, rather your inner hadou. So in your case, your Dark Hadou. When it begins to radiate..." Momatsu said as he began to pace. Allowing his to show. " When using this ability the user is able to rapidly heat the air in a large area and generate hot air from around their body. The air is significantly hotter, making it able to blister, dehydrate, and damage away targets. Using this will allow you to destroy any potential threats that may linger in the air, and will allow you to detect anything around your aura for a further disturbance. This aura can hurt those within it, or not. It's your choice, but with it constantly pumping around your body. No one will be able to see it ever unless they too are Onihoruda. Or possess a strong enough chi mastery to sense it. With this aura the user can nest any form of organic substance or creature onto oneself like a leech. The user can use this as a means of attack be attaching to the opponent and acting like a leech to drain their life force or other energies. Another kicker with this aura that with it, the user is immune against any sense suppressing or sensory attack abilities. The user may unintentionally/intentionally make themselves immune to such sensory attack abilities. And once you are in a hostile situation, weather your aware of it or not. It will activate due to your Hadou feeling the disturbance rather than yourself. And activate automatically which will then aleret you of upcoming dangers." Keyth blinked, listening intentively before scratching the back of his head. " Now how do i use this within my grappling techniques you ask? well lets give a description of grappling first like I said I would earlier. The Art of Grappling is the ability to use certain techniques, with a varation of counters which can be used and applied to an opponent in order to gain a physical advantage during a fight. This is only achieved if one is truly calm in combat. If angered, you will not possess the control to become a grappler. But anyways these abilites include such as improving relative position, escaping, submitting, or injury to the opponent. Grappling is a general term that covers techniques used in many disciplines, styles and martial arts that are practiced both as combat sports and for self defense. Although Grappling does not include striking or most commonly the use of weapons." Keyth nodded his head folding his arms and tilting his head to the right. " I know a bit of grappling tactics though excuting them is the hard part." The cat like Sensei nodded circling Keyth with his hands on his chin. " I see, and I understand but with the Auma no Honshitsu... your aura once someone enters it slows down your time perception by three seconds. Allowing you to kind of expect what the opponent will do. ( Unless they have http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Unpredictability <- Or something along those lines. ) Now with this three second gap, it will allow you to take advantage of the time frame. And to do what you need to do to incorporate your attack into a grapple." The cat like Sensei had guided Keyth into an Open plain where he walked away from him. Activating a device that allowed silver Manicans to appear out of the ground around Keyth." I want you to simply focus on grappling, every time you strike them you will be shocked horribly. And enough times... will kill you. Focus on your surroundings... and pay attention." Keyth looked around at the Manicans before looking back at the Sensei. " How do I activate my Akuma no Honshitsu?" Keyth said confused at the Manicans approached. " You'll learn. Or die... begin."

ChairmenRyoji: A stare down. In simpler terms one could put it. Between Densuke and Jake. Class ended yesterday, and it became the dead of midnight. The students who stayed to watch, only folded their arms with scowls on their faces, wondering why Densuke hadn’t been defeated quite yet…some wondered if Jake was going easy on him, but the realistic conclusion many didn’t want to face, is that Densuke was perfectly capable of fighting on par with Jake. Densuke eyed the man down, blood running from his forehead over his right eye, so he shut it. Jake had a bloody chin. Mainly because at one point to escape a triangle choked Densuke had him in, hit bit through his own tongue and spit the blood in Densuke’s face to escape. His arms had blackish red blotches on them showing that the infection of the broken bones was starting to spread. Densuke’s knee had been compensated, so now he fights with a bloody right knee. Jake nearly bit his kneecap clean off. “Getting real…*pant* tired of*pant* your shit Jake…” Densuke limped forward for a moment. “This is supposed to be a training exercise! TRAINING! I’ve been nearly killed 6 times! By you, you freak! What kind of style is this is??? Is this even marital arts?!?” Densuke pointed and looked at Takeshi, who never left his spot from the start of yesterday’s class. “Stop complaining…you and jake can push each other here.” “What is this some best in the class versus the newbie with potential bullshit? I have other things to learn! Better things to do-AGK!” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h90Xtq5nI64 ) Jake lunged at Densuke, biting into the very meat on his right shoulder. Densuke gritted his teeth and shut his eyes, grabbing Jake by his hair, and plunging him off of him. “FUCKING ANIMAL!!!” With Jake’s hair his grip Densuke would attempt to chop Jake in the throat, completely crushing his larynx. Jake too the hit, and using his chin and chest, he’d trap Densuke’s hand in that space, and launch his leg upwards, hitting Densuke square in the face. Densuke took a step back, but not before a horizontal 360 degree kick from Jake made its way into his ribs. “KA-KA-KRACK!” Three broken ribs..no…5 on the spot. Blood gushed from Densuke’s mouth, as Jake landed from his kick, and then preformed a leg sweep, spinning around backwards knocking Densuke off of his feet and onto the ground. Densuke hit the ground but quickly kicked up from it, landing on his good leg, he’d spin around in a pivoting like fashion and launch a devastating roundhouse kick at Jake’s jaw, leaving his mouth dropping, as the force completely dislocated it from it’s hinges. Jake slid back, in a squat, only to glare at Densuke’s precision. “I’ve broken you Jake! Your arms, your bites gone…..just….stop.” Jake growled and charged at Densuke his broken arms flailing behind him. Densuke out of sheer spite and agitation decided it was finally time to end this. His perception slowed. He watched Jake run towards him at a stunning speed. Like a beast….slobber drooled from his mouth. Sweat beaded from his head. He could die at any moment. But it seemed like he’d only die when he wanted to. Densuke had deduced the most interesting way to Take Jake down. As Jake launched a flying kick, Densuke dodges the opponent's attack by falling backwards and laying on the ground to double kick them into their stomach. The impact digs the feet into the gut, also effecting the rib cage to a degree as well, pushing it in. Jake’s rib cage may as well be nonexistent, as it would crumble under the weight of Densuke’s feet. The Force of this attack sends the opponent up into the air. Then, he backflips up onto his feet rather quickly to keep pace and attempts to leap up into the air above the opponent, putting all of his physical muscle into his legs to make sure he can leap faster than they ascend. Finally, Densuke tucked his body forward in a flip, flipping 5 times before knocking the opponent down to the ground with an axe kick to the very middle of his spine. Jake’s eyes seemed lifeless, but even in his angered state, Densuke made sure not to kill him..he never wanted to kill again.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3-JO3JgXh8 ) Jake fell to the ground, and didn’t move. Didn’t growl. Not even a snarl. Densuke turned to look at Takeshi, and shrugged. “So what? What now? Do I advance to the next lesson?” “No. You failed. Miserably. You’re arguably the worst recruit I’ve had in a while. Get out of my sight, you are no warrior.” Takeshi stood up, and began to walk off. Densuke snarled, and chased after him screaming. “Hey!...HEY! no fucking way man! I did the mock battle, and I won! Cut this mysterious teacher crap, and tell me what'’ going on!” Takeshi folded his arms, refusing to look at Densuke. Only his stern voice penetrated the night air. “You’re hesitant. So much so It’s a disgrace to the art of “fighting”. You take to long to attack, which is why this match could’ve gone either way in the first place.” Densuke had a confused look on his face.-C- ChairmenRyoji: “Hate to be the barer of bad news? But I wrecked him. My martial arts was BY FAR better than his, I had every counter timed to perfection, every foot technique, every move I made! And all he did the entire battle was flail! Like some psycho ward patient!” Densuke dropped his arms in frustration. Takeshi turned to look at Densuke, with a look of resentment. “Combat is not about “martial arts”. The art of “fighting” is merely to train one’s body to complete martial perfection. Fighting from your body’s instinct, and not your mind’s design. You can’t put a label on something as formless as air, or fire. But you can hone and harness them into fierce gales, or raging flames.” Densuke pointed to his own head. “It takes the MIND to preform these things. I like your thought’s on fighting, but keep in mind our brains control our functions. We memorize different arts, and find effective ways to utilize them, which in turn separates the good fighters from people like Jake here. An effective body is important for combat, but how do you plan your moves, when you only focus on the COMBAT aspect?” Takeshi held his fist in front of Densuke’s face. Only to extend his finger, and flick Densuke in the forehead sending his body thrashing backwards through the marble and concrete, until he collided with a another pillar in the area. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbxOc82xK4Q ) “you feel that don’t you Densuke. That’s a concussion. Right now I’ve rattled your brain, so your motor skills are decreased, your vision is blurred, and you probably can’t feel a thing in your body right now.” Densuke only had a dazed look on his face. Takeshi walked over to him and grabbed him by the hair, lifting him up and speaking in his face. “What would you do if I attacked you in this state? Your brain…can’t register anything. What would you do if someone took away your ability to think? To plan ahead? Strategize…what’re you left with?” Densuke groaned and tried to speak, but it was to no avail. He could hear though. Every word that was being spoken to him, was clear as day. “You’re a Koikonjitto…THE…Koikonjitto…I want to see you reach your fullest potential. Because from here on out, you’re going to be on my shit list of fighters I want to defeat. But not like this. Not until you get your head out of your brainy ass and LISTEN..to what your body has to say. How it feels. What it can do. You think just because your smart you can know everything about yourself but nah…sometimes you just gotta Feel it to understand.” Takeshi dropped Densuke back to the ground. “Consider yourself, my bitch Densuke. You’ll no longer be participating with the rest of the class. One on one’s with me every day until you can learn to fight free of mind.” Takeshi grabbed Densuke by the leg and began to drag him, and Jake’s bodies back to a the medical huts. Both of their bodies were encased in a green leaf that came out of the seams of the wall, and after a few minutes, the leaves removed themselves, completely healing the boys of their injuries. Takeshi returned to his rock, and sat down crossing his legs and folding his arms. He’d take one last look at the night, before closing his eyes and getting some rest himself. Tomorrow as not far off and he had plans for Densuke before planning to let him advance in anything.-E- Diversity: The game continued. It took hours not because they were slow, but because they both used such complicated, well-placed movements of the pieces across the board, that it was consuming daylight. They were battling wits and yet he was teaching and observing her at the same time. Isamu was pleased what with he saw too, as at last Michiko walked to the Queen piece. She tried to move it but this one, no matter how she analyzed it, wouldn’t move. “The Queen piece is stuck.” She finally said. Isamu chuckled. “Not quite. The Queen piece, is not a piece at all. It’s the Queen.” She would think of it as so, and stare into it with her blind opal eyes. But she could see its chi, and it reflected her in its image. “I don’t… get it.” Michiko whispered. “You are the Queen.” Isamu said in a newfound seriousness. “So do not move the Queen, let the Queen move /you/.” Michiko took in his words oddly as she then stepped closer to the piece. The chi of the Queen piece began to break apart and encircle Michiko as she stepped upon its square on the board. As she did the chi sank into her body, becoming her own. And thus, Michiko became the Queen piece. She looked over the chi-board which to others would be faint compared to Michiko’s enhanced chi sensory and sight. She began to walk across the tiles, her footsteps causing them to light up until she came across one of his pieces and smiled. “Checkmate.” Michiko had won. But she glanced to Isamu who appeared so clearly in her otherwise blindness. “You let me win though.” Michi continued. Isamu chuckled and nodded slowly. “You noticed that? Anyone else would’ve been convinced that they’d won fairly against me.” He stepped towards her as the chi dome and board around them dissipated, but the energy of the chi piece remained within her, as if her own to have now. “I did notice it. You are wiser than I am. But I still know when I am beaten or outdone.” Michiko confessed. “Modesty. Humility. It’s a nice trait to see in the next chosen.” He said, but she would find herself suddenly perplexed. “The next chosen?” Michiko said as Isamu stood right in front of her. But he didn’t speak again on it. Instead he would whisper, his body only a foot in front of hers, his voice a barely audible gust of syllables. “React.” A burst of overwhelmingly powerful chi rippled out from his body, and she had no time to think about it. She saw it well briefly inside of him before it came at her, and she jerked her hands up and the chi wave was stopped. She squeezed her eyes shut, but soon opened them when she realized she wasn’t hurt. She watched as in front of her hands the chi had frozen in place and was being eaten away, deteriorated, as if by an invisible force. But it had a light, white glimmer of her essence, as if she had just countered his chi with her own energy. “Good…” Isamu stepped back as he kept his hands neatly behind his back. “This is no fight. This is simply another game. This one though, is far simpler. Think of it like catch. I want you to catch my attacks. Every single one of them.” The wind kicked up around him and suddenly he launched a blast of elemental wind chi at her, and Michiko quickly drew up her hand as she analyzed it, so that when the gust of wind struck her palm it stilled, a storm held in slow motion in front of her as soon it simply… melted away. Dissipated. She prepared for his next blast, and this one was a utilization of fire. The heat hit her palm but the fire did not scorch her because the fuel of the fire, Isamu’s chi, began to deteriorate in front of her hand. The gust of wind of his attack blew out behind her and tugged at the white fabric hung loosely around her body as she would brace herself. “How long will we play this game?” Michiko said, as if she was tired. Isamu chuckled. “Until I have used my most powerful move on you.” That… did not sound promising.

ChairmenRyoji: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yYMicbSf98 )”HIYAAA!” A different set of students were fighting today. This place reminded Densuke of some form of sacred high school where people rotate classes and what not. Kind of a cool concept for a martial arts institute..or whatever this place actually was. Densuke was walking behind Takeshi through the crowd of students and giving Densuke key pointers to go by. “Take a look around Koikonjitto. They all fight based on their bodies natural structure and basis. These forms look like familiar martial arts to you don’t they.” Densuke nodded. He saw one girl attacking a series of stylized kicks, that resembled tae kwon do. Another person was throwing fellow students left and right using advanced forms of CQC and Judo..but all this was just them “fighting.” Densuke looked around, and observed how some of the most effective and deadly martial arts styles, are already hardwired into the systems of the body, but the body itself can express them via impulsive movement. Instinct…that word rang through Densuke’s head for a moment. “Yeah I see…so what’ll you have me doing today?” Takeshi took Densuke to another place on the sky island, where there was only a stone floor, and a stone golem, about densuke’s height. Takeshi taped it, and sent a flourish of white chi into it, causing runes on it’s body to momentarily flash white. “Now you.” Takeshi instructed Densuke to touch the statue and as he did, the runes on it glowed yellow for a moment before maintaining that color. “I’ll start you off basic. Fight this dummy without thinking about your next moves. I want you to simply “feel” what your body want’s to do next.” Densuke furrowed his brow trying to take it all in, but he was still somewhat baffled. He’d take a step back and take his HHS stance. The golem mimicked his stance, and rushed at Densuke with a haymaker, swung with proficient speed one might add. “Hmph!” Densuke prepared to counter, but suddenly his body froze up, like someone gripped him by the spine and held him still. The stone golem then decked Densuke in the face, with such a force, that his cheek rippled from the blow, and the ground beneath his feet crackled a bit as he was send skidding along the ground 25 feet from where he was. “Ah….Ow!” Densuke rubbed his cheek.” “The hell…what sorcery is this!?” Takeshi folded his arms and closed his eyes. “I forgot to mention, every time the golem senses a voluntary signal in your brain, your body will instantly be frozen in place, opening you for an attack. To fight this golem, you can’t, and I mean can’t, plot any of your moves, takedowns, or counters. It has to be an action all of your body’s own accord. A simple reflexive movement rather than a well timed one. Keep in mind..” the golem clapped its stone fist together. “This thing, can shatter a mountain with a jab….take to many hits like that, and it’ll break your body into pieces. I’ll be leaving you two alone now, try not to get to much blood on the grounds.” Takeshi walked away and Densuke would pull himself to his feet. The golem took a stance similar to jake’s his arms outspread, and his legs bent at the knee. Densuke took his HHS. “Tch! This is gonna be a painful learning process!”

Thunrian: ( http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=h90Xtq5nI64 ) All 10 of the silver manicans empty faces stared at Keyth as they charged at him. " GAHH FINE THEN! I'LL FIGURE IT OUT ON MY OWN!" He managed to pivot backwards, allowing one strike to duck over his head when he dodged the blow, twisting his body to the right to dodge an axe kick. Keyth did a capirea like ducking manuver to dodge a kick, allowing his body to move on his own through sheer instinct as he flowed from each strike, though when he got hit occasionally a blasting shock would surge through his body making him spazz. His eyes slanted out of sheer anger as he retailated with a punch at the manican, but when he sent it out it simply shocked him to bits, blasting him back by 15 feet into the ground. Keyth landed on his right knee only to get axe kicked in the top of the head and blasted into the ground. Then booted by his ribs and sent flying elsewhere. As Keyth had been in mid air, two of the manicans blasted into the air after him, there attack started with the manican to the right and the one on his left starting to relentlessly beat him together, the one on the left smashed its fist into the sides of keyths body, each strike knocking him into the other one, which the one to the right sent out knees and punches to his mid section. Both striking up to 34 times a pieces before they attempted to knock him into the ground. Once Keyth was crashed into the ground, he'd rebound back up like a basket ball only to catch his footing. His face brusied up on the chin and left side of his head. And the rest of his body had been litered in gashes, cuts and brusies as well. " Tch..." He said flicking his nose as he began to anger. "...Control...control... I can do this... I can.." One of the other manicans rushed in with its right arm pulled back. Using a typical rush attack it soared at Keyth with inhuman speed his eyes struggling to Keep up without his precious chi. It zig zagged left to right, one of the other Manicans gripped its arm and spun it around four times before it lunged its comrade right at Keyth. Soaring at him with its left arm pulled back. " You are the Legendary Onigami, a cursed Onihoruda. Back in the realm of Dark Hadou. It was once said that the Lord onigami was King there and none could touch his might. Are you afarid of becoming Onigami once more? Dont you understand?" Keyth pulled his arms up to block. " NO I WONT GIVE IN TO THAT MONSTER AGAIN... I DONT WANT... TO HURT MY FRIENDS EVER AGAIN!" He kept his hands up only to get a powerful punch to his arm, capable of severing it, but due to his Onihoruda durability it simply caved snapping like a twig. " G-GAAAHHHHHH!" With the strike a powerful lightning burst surged around Keyths body which shocked him to add insult to Injury. " You are wrong Keyth, It is apart of who you are. Dont you under stand? You must accept that..." The other students had been watching in sheer horror as Keyth struggled to fight against the Manicans. "...T-This is phase two!!?" Jonah said watching from afar in utter fear. The Manican managed to knock Keyth into the air and delivers a brutal assault of physical strikes, 34 punches and kicks to his body before it finishes by kicking round house kicking him to the ground. Keyths eyes buldged with and his lips quaked with blood as he hit the ground. Another Manican caught him right before his body hit the ground, five feet away actually, sending a right-hook into his jaw, and proceeds with a double axe handle with both of its hands right into Keyths spine before it booted him away to get thrashed on by the other Manicans.

Thunrian: ( http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=txvpvHYjCDQ ) One of the Manican charges, going straight at Keyth in a beeline and elbows him 10 feet out Then, it dashes behind him spins rapidly about 20 times as the wind around its body broke the ground up as it travled over to Keyth, it then hook kicks the him in the stomach causing him to barf out projectile vomitting as he cringes under the attack. Soon right after it attacks with again out a punch and a barrage of kicks before roundhouse kicking Keyth away by 5 feet into the air Finally, another Manican flies after the young man and hand chops him in the back of the neck causing his eyes to roll to the back of the head. A Surge of lightning flaring off his body from the manicans accumilated strikes which soon sends him down to the ground. Keyth frowned, catching himself as he landed on his right hand and pushed off of it and darted elsewhere gaining some distance. With his right arm broken, he ducked his body left to right while holding his injuryed arm. The Manicans with there enhanced intellegence picked up on the injury and all began to dash towards keyth sending blow after blows into his broken arm, he grunted in sheer pain, trying his hardest to dodge and weave through the attacks with his broken body but it was no use. " It is not giving in, if it is who you are..." The cat like Sensei said pacing. " You must be aware of yourself and your flaws to truly becoome stronger..." The other students began to shake as they continued to watch it all. "...How is... that guy still alive...." " How could sensei do this to him..." " Oh no... he's gonna die..." They said amongst one another, but Jonah remained silent... continuing to watch Keyth from afar. "...." Another Manican rushed sending out a flurry of punches at Keyth, each making a crushing landing right in the face. Then,it hits him with a barrage of punches and kicks before kicking him into the air. Keyth's eyes were half lidded as he tried his hardest to endure it all. From a distance another Manican dashes after the other manican knocked Keyth into the air. It rushed Keyth while in the air and performed two kicks. Then it flips in the air and kicks him hard in the face, causing his body to twist rapidly. To those watching from afar they'd see Keyth brutaling getting beat by the manicans in swift sucession. " It's who you are, accept it." Mamoru said crossing his arms before closing his eyes as Keyth continued to get the thrashing of a life time.

ChairmenRyoji: (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=kXIuj9mpBcw ) “KA-THOOOM!!” A roaring noise like thunder clapped, from the very deph’s of the area, as Densuke found his stomach being crushed beneath the boot of the stone golem. Densuke let out a mixture of spital and vomit, as his eyes rolled into the back of his head multiple times. His face looked like he was about to momentarily seize at any minute, as he hurried and pushed the golem off of his person. Densuke rolled backwards, only to remain leaned over gasping for air. “I can’t *Gasp* keep this *Gasp* up!” the golem was relentless, running towards Densuke like a linebacker, and punting him right in his chest, forcing his body in a upwards arch. Densuke looked, down, about to retaliate, a front flipping axe kick. His body froze up in mid kick however, and the kick had literally no power behind it. His foot merely bounced off of it’s body, leaving the golem to do even more dirty work to denskue’s person. First, the golem charged at Densuke and punched him square in the mouth and nose, the blow casuing an instant concussion to end all concussions. Then, he flipped upside down in the air and vertical kicked Densuke down on his shoulder, nearly shattering the shoulder bone. “AAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!” Densuke bellowed in pain. His body was beginning to surcome to this things strength. Finally, The golem lands on the ground and throws a haymaker right at densuke’s jaw. The hit connects, and Densuke could feel himself blacking out to a degee, as his body flew into the air, lifeless. Like a rag doll it twirled around for a moment, before he finally hit the ground with a loud Thud. Dust arising and spreading out from his descent. Takeshi merely shook his head from a safe distance away. “He’ll..never understand.” He prepared to walk away and forget about the boy he was beginning to deem a failure. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gcshz4lBJPQ )Densuke groaned loudly, placing his right hand on the ground. He looked at the golem and it only pissed him off more that the thing remained standing in place. “!!” Densuke stood himself up, and squaqted down low, swaying in place for a moment. His glaring eyes never leaving the golems sight as he began to run..it was slow at first, but once the golem began to run at him as well Densuke picked up the pace. The golem drew it’s right arm back preparing to deiliver another earth shattering hit. “no….” Densuke uttered. “FUCK! YOUR! PUUUUUUUNCH!!!!!” Densuke reacted in a mannor different for him as withouth thinking he reared his own right hand back, and collided with the stone golem in the dead center of the stone circle, the result forming a rather long winded burst of wind from the both of the figures. The golems fist dug deeper into densuke’s face however and sent him flying backwards into a nearby boulder, his body shattering the rock on impact. Takeshi turned around just as he felt the wind. Densuke pushed the rubble from his body, and gritted his teeth. Felt like he’d been run over by a train..”Calm down Densuke…keep your cool..you have to..tch..read this thing, but attack without attacking!” Takeshi clenched his fist a bit. “No you idiot…don’t think…” Takeshi murmured to himself watching Densuke. A few more students, came over to watch the show as well. “You’re almost there..” Densuke decided to go on the offensive, rushing in head first, with a flying kick. Again his body was frozen and the golem would drive it’s stone forarm into the chest of Densuke, slamming him to the ground, and nearly caving it in on impact. “Sensei San. Did you have to use the mountain shattering golem on the guy? He is a beginner…” A student in a Gi spoke to Takeshi. “I think the Koikonjitto can handle himself…I think.” The students began to whisper amongst themselves. “Koikonjitto? Hey that’s the guy that” “Uh huh, the one who lead the nations in a charge against the Onigami fellow.” “Hey but isn’t that other guy?..” Jake’s voice bellowed as he broke through the crowd of talking students to watch. “Quiet. I want to see for myself, what this guy is made of..”Jake placed his foot on a rock, and leaned over a bit carefully observing. Takeshi thought amongst himself: ‘I did the same for you Jake…don’t tell me envy has struck you? Hmhmhmhm. Funny.’

Thunrian: Hours passed, and the beatings continued... Keyth had started to reach a level of unconciousness. " HEY COUSIN!" (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=mNk88EaxiL0) Keyths eyes darted wide open, to see Kai. His cousin who had given his soul to release the seal from Keyths body and gave him life once more. " He's...right. Your afraid. And I know it to. Remember... I'm this generations Onigami... Just like you were last generations. They knew I was useless because I at first wanted the power, to prove others wrong. They never knew why the Onigami's spirit chose me to. But when they heard you'd be returning... they put all cards on you. And left me... But by that time I was aware of what the Onigami had been..." Kai said speaking to Keyth within a room of pure white, as they both floated through the air. "You must be aware of what's going on here. Yes the Onigami is a monster of sheer destruction. But it's who we are. It's not giving in. Dont be like me, and run from your responsibilites. I ran to you instead of facing them myself. With the Onigami's power... you have the power to stop them. And I know you can. I trust you, It's who we are Keyth..." Keyths half lidded eyes looked at Kai as he floated through the space of pure white. ".... It's our responsiblity..." Kai said, which made Keyths eyes go wide. "...Responsibility..." Keyth said back. Kai smiled and nodded his head. " The Onigami... is like your anger. It has always been your most prized weapon. But now it's time to grow up, beyond and over that. Your new power from here on out. Is control. Control your anger, control your fate, control your responsibilites.... control your Onigami." Keyth blinked before staring back out at Kai before he began to speak. " Oi, Kai...." " Hm?" Kai responded. " Everytime I die... well. I'm about to... how come I always end up in this place.. talking to someone.... and they help me?" Kai put his hand on his chin and began to think, tilting his head to the right. "....I dunno... It might be an Onihoruda thing. Though for the big bad Onihoruda Onigami. You dont have any souls in here besides me... You keep the others within your blade. I dont know how you did that... But it's pretty clever. But with me in here, I can help you control it." Keyth nodded. " Alright then...." Kai smiled before he began to fade. " It's who we are....accept it. Oh and...Cousin?" Keyth looked back at him in question as he continued to float. " Your to stupid to die anyways....Zetsui said...." And with that, the flash of light ended and Keyth had still been in mid fall of the previous attack. The manican knocked him down to the ground, only for another one to appear before he hit the ground. soon grabbing Keyth by the back of the head and attempting to smash him head first into the floor with inhuman brute force. But...( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uesqhy9kwcA ) Keyth caught himself with both of his hands in a push up postion. Blood leaking from his lips. " In order... to unlock it. I get it now..." He said under the manicans grip, His eyes closed. " To Unlock it, I have to be aware... that my anger is not a weakness, it simply me. I figured that out...Anger is not weakness, because I'm the blade... and with my blade... My angry strikes will decimate everything.... I am...a Onihoruda, I am the Onigami. And I am a monster.... I have problems and that's ok. But it's who I am... It's who I'll....always be. So the Key to unlocking this technique isnt through anger. It's through acceptance... it's through accepting... who you really are..." The cat like Sensei smirked and watched as the heat like aura began to surface around Keyths body. " Your not as stupid as you like to play Hm?" He said laughing. The manicans hand almost melting away as it gripped into Keyths hair. Keyth had his eyes closed, a calm look on his face before he frowned. He managed to roll away from the Manican as the orange aura seaped around his body. He took a deep breathe as he got down into his stance, spreading his legs before whiping the blood off his lips with both of his hands. "...Now I'm pissed off..." He said to the Manicans, he had tapped into it, his Onihoruda horns finally truly resurfaced and his tattoo's began to glow. He accepted what he was, and he had accepted his flaws with anger. He had accepted that he wasnt perfect... and he accepted that it's ok. "... Now. Let's try that again...." Keyth said flicking his nose as the aura burned a brighter this time around.

ChairmenRyoji: (http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=U6ZaveGVdXU ) “KRACK!” Another hit for Densuke, as he lunged, and launched a double handed palm into the golems face. He was leraning…but he wasn’t quite there yet. The golem pushed against densuke’s hands, forcing him down to the ground, and now in a position where he had to think of his next move to get free. Which was the worst part because now his body was frozen in place, and the golem amassed a full mounting position on Densuke. The golem began to launch a series of rapid punches across Densuke’s chest, abdomen, shoulders, forearms, and biceps, face, neck, and forehead. Each blow made densuke’s body jolt and jerk. He was constantly looking for an opening. Doing the opposite of his training. His mind…is too hardwired to try and figure things out rather than going with the flow of things. Takeshi scolwed. There appeared to be hope. Jake, fixed his hair, and smirked at the battle. He felt special to be the only one to pass something with such a difficulty. The rest of the students watched, some in horror. And some in amusement to see what would happen to this “Koikonjitto” everyone speaks of. “BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM!!!!!!” Each blow left a chilling thunder to it, as it happened. After 50 more punches the golem stopped, and backed off of Densuke. His shirt was literally beaten off of him, and his body could literally be called “Black and Blue” Bruises was an understatement, as he had stone debree logged into some of his skin. He’d been knocked out most definitely…unconscious…unable to properly function. It was over.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKp40NacgSg ) “Welp! He tried. Guess I’m special after all eh master Takeshi?” Takeshi held his hand up. “A few more minutes, before we put a stop to it.” The students fell silent. Not even a whisper made itself known. An eerie wind blew through the area. “Master he’s unconscious…I think maybe he doesn’t need any thing else but some healing tim-“ “Don’t question me.” Takeshi snaped. “I know…I’m right. This child. Can still fight. It’s no where near over..He knows it. He has too.” And with that something did happen. Densuke’s hand twitched, but only for an instant. Suddenly densuke’s body rose up, like some sort of wind pushed him from beneath. A shadow fell over Densuke’s eyes. His head hung lower than usual. There was a chi coming from him that was different in feel..it was there. But then again it wasn’t…? It was odd. Densuke shook his head and woke up or so he thought. When he lifted his head, his eyes were dilated heavily. “I knew it.” Takeshi couldn’t help but feel superior in knowledge right now. Jake’s eyes winded. He was astonished. “N-no way man..NO WAY! THAT’S BULLSHIT!” Jake stormed off into the crowd, sulking like a child of the sort. Densuke too his HHS stance, and looked ready to fight, but he wasn’t all there. In his mind however Densuke was awake. And able to sill feel see and hear. “Huh….what the?...my body is moving…so why can’t I control it? Grr! Agh! C’mon, c’mon! do as I say body!” Densuke’s body stood there, in It’stance. In a sense it was completely impervious to densuke’s control now. Densuke took a moment to realize what was going on. “Wait..is this..my muscles fighting on it’s own? This must be..what Takeshi sensei was talking about..” The golem clapped its stone fist together, and made a straight forward lariat clothesline right for Densuke’s chest.( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VkOUgpA3nI ) Densuke’s body gripped the golem by it’s stone head with his right hand, and scooped it into a clench of sorts. Densuke then began throwing knee, after knee, after knee, into the golem’s head. Each blow sending a few cracks of stone and what not shattering from its head. The golem pushed away, and leapt into the air throwing a two piece kick combo which consisted, of a forward roundhouse kick and a reverse side kick. Densuke’s body merely jerked on it’s own, moving from left to right to avoid both of the kicks easily. Once the golem landed Densuke kept his left hand hanging down, whilst he stepped in, closing the gap of space between him and the golem and began launching a repeated amount of one inch punches deep into the golems rocky chest piece. Each blow caused a massive force to be lightning bolted from the back of the golem. Each punch could literally be clocked in at a millisecond, and each force could be measured as a punch from Bruce lee himself. “Teacher, teacher! What’s going on? His didn’t deliver power like this before!” “with his brain not in the picture, his true aspects emerge…there’s nothing restraining his body from delivering the full extent of his capabilities. He’s a Koikonjitto…he’s got the body of a Greek god in mortal form. The extent of what he can do is limitless in potential.” Takeshi smirked one more time thinking to himself. “Now do you see? I know you’re watching yourself fight.” Takeshi spoke to Densuke’s subconscious mind. “I see it!” Densuke’s body backhanded the-c- ChairmenRyoji: golem, causing it’s body to spin around, before the moved in and began throwing a 3 piece combination, of a right and left hook, with an uppercut. Only Densuke threw this combination 15 times, before throwing a low kick, knocking the golem off of it’s feet, and proceeding to repeatedly stomp the thing into the ground like a made savage of sorts. “this his my bodies natural fighting instinct. It’s like how I fight, but with no restraint…look at it. It’s combining everything I’ve learned, and hardwired it into my nervous system.” he attacks the opponent with a hook punch and uppercut to the opponent's stomach and chin, both attacks having enough impact to micro fracture the chin and bruise the muscles of the abdomen, but in this case Densuke’s fist left literal holes in the golem. The punches had enough force to send the thing flying backwards 7 feet in a tumble usually. “This…is instinct combat Densuke. And when I’m done, you’ll be fighting like this when it really counts.” Densuke will luanch a boxing style uppercut, though with this particular uppercut it's much more deadly and potent, simply because of it's posture and speed. The punch itself is between a hook and an uppercut. It is also known in boxing as a three-quarter uppercut, or as a shovel hook. It strikes from an unexpected angle and can catch a fighter unaware. The Smash is best suited for in-fighters, that relies heavily on sheer power to destroy opponents who come in contention with it. In this case densuke's body would bend itself towards the back angle in which case densuke simultaniously takes a step inwards, pushing off of what ever foot he chooses from his posistion. With that he then thurst not only his attacking arm, but his upper body into the smash like punch, aiming at not the chin, but the curve where the neck and the very base of the jaw meet, other words the beginning of the throat. His body impulsively using the savage shoryuken, once his fist met the golem’s head, not only did it explode, but the entire assembly of the golem’s body would go soaring into the air, over 40 feet none the less. Densuke’s body stood there for a moment as the rocks dropped down in various places over the arena. Digging into the ground. Densuke regained consciousness and came to, looking at not what he had done, but what his body had done. On it’s own. The true pontential of his fighting instinct. “. . .” he stood speechless, but the students gave a loud cheer, and applauded for him. Congradulating him on his success. Takeshi gave Densuke a nod of approval and walked up to him patting him on the shoulder. “You’ve done well tapping into the first st-…are you okay?” Densuke shed some cartoonish tears as his voice squeaked. “Yep! Just! Everything hurts! Bad!” takeshi would laugh and pat Densuke on the back in a sickening sense of hilarity. “Well go lay down for 3 hours, and then come back. Next we begin training in how to tap into your physical bodies ultimate peaks.”-e-

Diversity: Michiko and Isamu continued back and forth as his blasts grew more and more powerful. The heavy booms started to echo across the sky as the day turned into early evening. At last Isamu held out his arms and closed his eyes, breathing in deep. Michiko was panting on one knee as she would slowly push back to her feet. The chi radiating off of him was blinding to her, all she saw was what looked like a supernova in preparation. “This is it.” Isamu whispered. “Will you save your friends?” He opened his eyes and they were burning with a colorless but all-colored chi, like white and yet it was darkness. It was perfect balance, it was full unlocked potential revealed, and it was an energetic pressure that made the temple stone under his body crack. Suddenly the supernova erupted, flowing outwards in waves. Rings of unexplainable, almighty chi as she would hold up both hands. She survived the first blow, eradicating a hole in his chi attack though it knocked her to her knees and slid her back, scraping her knees up. Michiko grabbed the ground with one hand, but as the second wave came her opal eyes locked onto it and she threw up both hands and leaned into the attack. His energetic pressure was causing her body to feel compressed and tight, almost causing her to feel claustrophobic. But Michiko pushed her hands against this wave. Her fingers began to bruise and crack as she grit her teeth and roared. And as her hands pushed into his energy which was being cycled and thrust at her repetitively, she eradicated it. Every ounce of it. Finally only a little bit of it was left and it was dissipating like a piece of paper being eaten by the last embers of a flame. Michiko collapsed upon the ground then as she panted and curled her knees towards her chest while lying on her side. “Ugh…” Her head tilted up fast and she heaved- but did not vomit. She only made the sound and dryly shivered in disgust as she would bury her face in her hands. “I’m very sore…” She whispered, as Isamu came forward and put his hands on her shoulders, revitalizing and unlocking some of her powers. “That attack… Would’ve destroyed miles upon miles of land, and hundreds if not thousands of people, with total ease. Do you realize that you countered it, something that could’ve likely destroyed your friends?” He whispered with a smile. Michiko just nodded, though she didn’t really grasp what she’d done as Isamu picked her up in his arms. “It is time to rest.” He carried her down the steps and soon to the temple guest room where she, Keyth, and Densuke had been. On her cot he laid her down and she shivered again as she felt a strange energy in her gut. Isamu, while she was alone, then put a hand on her head. She felt something in her head unlock as she replayed a memory of having shot the Yakuza man’s wife, and countless other memories of saving people. Then finally the memory of injecting Keyth with her blood. Grafting her own skin to repair his organs enough that she could take him and Densuke home to heal them… When she opened her eyes, they were briefly her own and she saw him and the real world. “What did you just do?” She whispered as he would smile and drop his hand, starting to backpedal towards the door. “Unlocked something. You’ll see eventually.” He left her with a strange note as she would find her blindness returning, causing her pupils to disappear in the milky haze. She wrinkled her nose and laid back into the bed as her hand swept out to the side. Her slender lithe digits began to curl as she formed a snapping gesture. “Dino, you here? Come lay down.” She waited for the little creature / pet to jump up on the cot and relax with her while she hoped maybe Densuke and Keyth would finish their training at the same time.

Thunrian: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOGkZsuFILU ) Keyth kept his eyes on the ten manicans that began to approach as he readied himself for the worst. His aura burning brightly around his body before it then vanished from all eyes. 'He made it invisible to even my level of sight...' Mamoru said to himself. Keyth's beat up body pulled his arms up in the 'Horse' Stance for Karate. His eyes closed when the first Manican lunged, pulling its leg around attempting to kick him atop his skull, he opened his eyes and the flow of time began to shift into a slow. Opening his eyes he saw the leg coming and ducked to the right, and pulled his left arm around it's chest as he caugt it in mid air, Hip tossing it to the ground, allowing it to crash amongst the surface into ton of smaller pieces. Once he slung it to the ground he rolled, soon now on one knee, another came from above with an axe kick. Once the silver Manican came into his auras space his perception slowed again, and he managed to lunged himself right under the manicans head as it had its leg pulled up. With his right hand reaching up to it's shoulder he caught it in mid air, it's crotch area would be on his chest where he'd then dropp down, spreading his legs as he smashed it into the ground back first. This process continued and before long, Keyth had slammed and smashed them all into tiny pieces throughout the battle field. To the other kids... it'd look like Keyth had been doing all of this within inhuman speed. Jonah clenched his teeth, soon walking off from the fighting completely. Keyth began to make his slow walk past Mamoru and pat his shoulder. " Hey...cat man.... I'm... gonna go take a nap....for awhile..." Keyth said patting his shoulder. Mamoru smirked watching Keyth make his way to his hut where the rest of his friends were. " Hahahaha THATS THE SPIRIT! KEYTH... TASANAGIIII!!"/////( http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=tmtOxvPsFt0) Meanwhile.... within the Jade city. Grim would have been sitting in his throne room, his hand resting nicely on his skin as he watched the jester infront of him. " Emperor Grim... is bored with you now. Begone peasent..." The Jester stood and nodded his head before he walked off. " Next..." Grim said as he looked boredly down at the ground infront of him. What came next, had been a man cloaked in a brown rags. His body massive in comparison to the others. Hanz, Grims right hand man and now royal advisor stood with his arms crossed, looking at white tiger from the other side of the throne. The Dragon sisters turned as well. And then smiled to see and spectate on the man in rags. " And what can you do?" Mr.Grim said. The man in the black robes began to take black sand out of robe pockets, throwing it along the golden floors of the palace that sit in the middle of the Jade city. The robbed man spoke... " I tell... stories..." He said with a strong and booming tone. The black sand began to make a city and then it created an Image of a young man, and then three other young men. ".... Within a city, far from here. There were three men. Who's powers...were unrivaled by many...and all. One, who had a chaotic nature... he didnt have a place. He simply had chaos. Thought to be a hero... his ways were all dark, he simply put an Armoured suit over it to hide his scars. Though he was powerful. And there had been no doubt about that. The other... Lawful, and strong. His richiesouness had no bounds. It was for justice....then he fought for it. He was the light. And the other... the Darkness. But he was a Darkness that vauled the light.... but a Darkness none the less. His morals were fed by the thought of the strongest. These fighters protected a city from all that came to face it. Protecting a secrect that they hadnt even been aware of...." The cloaked man looked up. His eyes dead set and focused on the emperor who looked at him with a smirk on his face. " Oneday... these three men all passed away, and over time there sons grew to take there place but by then it was to late. Evils beyond those that ever exsisted began to pray upon the city during its weakned state. And during the time.... they slipped through undetected. The legend states that these evils would one day take a land that isnt theres. And then attempt to take the world. But one man... Would shut them down...and make them pay...for there crimes.." The cloaked man said as his golden eyes simmered into a bright red. " And who's...Idotic...legend... does this belong to..." Mr.Grim said with that cold smile on his face.-c- Thunrian: " MINE!" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pSu2ip5Hu4 ) The cloaked man threw off his robes to reveal golden armoured bottoms and boots, cladded in thick yet slim armour that gave off a godly glow. He was shirtless, the Dragon yakuza tattoo on his back made his dark hair cascading off it an omnious look to it. Hanz eyes went wide and so did tigers but Grim had a smile on his face the whole time. " I was wondering when you'd come and see me....Keyome." Keyome's arms glowed with a bright gold as he eyed the men before him. The Dragon sisters and the rest of the Grimoire hopped up ready to defend there leader. "...Dispose of him..." Grim said closing his eyes. " You'll pay....for hurting... my SON!" Keyome said as the utter force of his chi caused the top half of the palace and the walls explode from the sheer impact of his power as he flexed it. The Grimiore all stood on the ready, eying him and waiting. ".....Haaaaaaa...." Keyome said getting into his Thunderous boxing stance, his staff still missing ( Thanks Densuke XD. Non theif catchin ass.) Though he did have a necklace that had the same abiltiy of his staff. " Show us then... what your vengeance is composed of..." White tiger said meeting Keyome in the middle of the room. " C'mon old man.." Tiger said as he charged Keyome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcLPL8cPQ-8) Keyome watched as he attempted to attack, and before he got there, Keyome had anaylized over 50 ways to take him out upon the time three feet had been there only distance. White tiger attacked sending out his blade towards Keyomes head, but he ducked under the strike, hitting Tiger in the stomach with such a godly force that it caused him to pass out and puke blood. "....." Keyome kept his eyes dead set of Grim as he continued his walk forward. The Dragon sisters leaped into the air, trying to attack from above, but Keyome simply looked them in the eyes as he forced them into an Illusion and they hit the ground like a sack of bricks. Koi came in with his strongest blade technique, and Keyome gripped his blade, back handing him through the broken walls of the palace. Now faced with Hanz. Keyome stood there... looking him eye to eye as he got into his stance and Hanz did the same. They both rushed each other, and within 2.1 seconds, to the both of them the battle had been over 30 minutes. Hanz hit the floor... completely unconcious, his right side ofhis skull caved in. "....Grim." Keyome said as he made his way over to him, only for a bright light to appear before keyome, making him stop in his tracks as 4 figures appeared before him. "....Dont get in my way....Ameteratsu..." He said to her, Hachiman, Susanooo, and Inari. " Stand down...Keyome..."-E-

Guest_Keizumai: -Akuma would have been following Keyth and the others for sometime tho they were pretty far ahead of him. They were about an hour ahead of him tho he was still on their trail"What type of shit is this always leaving me the fuck behind"he said grumbling to himself as he trended on, His purple-ish blue eye seemed to glow brightly as the sun reflected on his eyes. Eventually he ended up in the bandit plains, Akuma would simply continue to follow their trail, leaving footprints in the sand as he walked on. Eventually akuma stumbled upon what seemed to be steps? in the middle of nowhere. Akuma just stood there standing at the steps before he shrugging"well they seemed to have went through here"Akuma would then walk forward stepping up the steps though there was something weird about them like the fact that there was so many he couldn't even see the top of them not to mention the seemed to almost not be there even as head stepped on them it seemed as if his foot would phase right through one of them at any moment, Akuma simply continued to walk up the tranlusent steps which seemed to never end it was like one of those endless hallways you see in scary movies, no matter how far you walked you never reach the end"The fuck is going on here just how many steps are there"Akuma said as he gritted his teeth((http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=zhbwOd2ETsM)) Akuma would stop, he was thinking about turning around but when he looked over his shoulders his eyes widened as he stared down into a black pit"the fuck"the stairs behind Akuma would begin to be swallowed up by the black pit that was now working on it way to swallow him as well, Akuma would begin to run up the steps tho the black pit seemed to be moving faster than he was running and was gaining on him, Akuma would then begin to charge his chi into his legs and would begin to preform a series of quick jumps forward covering about the length of a football field with each jump when akuma stopped he be a good distance between the rapidly raising black pit"well there no turning back no i guess" Akuma aid before turning around and activating his "Devil Trigger"((Strength Increase: This surge of power focuses on the physical aspects of chi rahter than projetiles as such the physical body of the user has its aspects pushed beyond what regular human limits are capple of. The energy can render a mans fist with the ability to dent or smash any object that isn't equivelent to his own force or pressure like stone, metals, etc. This is completly dependent on the user however, the more trained the body, the futher said limit can be increased. As far as actual lifting, strength will be well in the over 2 tons area, but again this ability adds to a persons already viable stats, not gives them a set limit. Hightened Reflexes; The user possess an extraordinary reflexes that does not uses their reflexes for defense and to retreat but uses reflexes to attack and counter. The user may use judgment along with reflexes, allowing them to dodge attacks even in a weakened condition. Because the muscles of the users fight without the use of his brain, this allow the user to strategize. Since body moves on reflex and not reactions, feints and illusionary techniques are useless against the user. Speed Increase: User can perform a burst of speed that allows the user to move so fast it appears as if they have teleported, many users can sustain only short dashes. In most cases the user is able to maneuver at the high speeds accurately and does not cause any shock or disturbance to the surface they stop on. Could be difficult to use, for the movement would be so fast they cannot be seen. For the movement would be so fast all one would be unable to see anything of the world except one big blur. But someone could be able to see while moving that fast, they would simply have to train to able to see while traveling so fast that they vanish for a moment. The person's body could adjust with these powers, allowing the person to use these powers safely. This speed is also accorded to combat speed as well, enabling the user to throw blows as blurs, and it appears as multiple hands instead of just regular thrown punches. Users can move far faster than the average member of the user's species, some at or above supersonic speed or even faster.. This power is not without any ill effects however, as it can strain the body, but some users may be resistant or even immune to the effects of high speed travel including friction and inertia. The user is able to accelerate themselves to high speeds, often transforming themselves into destructive projectiles in the process. This speed can be spanned over an overall distance or short burst. The speed one travels. * Anger Empowerment: Users become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger, rage, hatred, and vengeance whether their own or others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able draw Guest_Keizumai: Some users may be able draw sustenance from the elements or even slow or stop aging.)) Akuma would be glowing a red colour now tho this time his hair stayed the same colour instead of turning white. Akuma would then take off like a bat out of hell up the step Sprinting at full speed he'd look like a streak of red as he ran. The stairs ahead of akuma seemed to have broken off into pieces ahead of him. A smile would then appear across his face"Your Gonna Have To do Better Than That" Akuma called out as he jumped from the platform he was on towards one of the broken up pieces of steps/platform upon landing he'd jump off instantly to to another one, he repeat the process till he reached the other side which took him for ever and as soon as he did it'd feel like the gravity around him got heavier not to mention that the stair that the stair case he turned upright and spiralled around in like a strand of D.N.A. Akuma Would look down as he gripped onto the staircase, The Black Pit didn't lose a step in fact it looked as if it was moving even faster(( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFXB5ksbUH8 )) Akuma would grit his teeth as he began running"HYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"Akuma would then begin sprinting though the pressure around his body made almost made it feel like he was moving in slow motion and it took just about everything out of him to force himself up them tho he continued to push even when he could no longer maintain his "devil trigger form". Akuma slipped down the steps a few times thought each time he caught himself and pushed on. The Black Pit at this point was nipping at Akuma's heel's as he forced himself to keep moving. Akuma's body would be drench in sweat by this time, he would then take off his Shirt throwing it down behind him,The Black Pit Swallowing it up.The Black Pit Would Now be almost literally right underneath Akuma's feet as he ran and before know it he found himself being swallowed up by the Darkness and tho he tried harder he couldn't out run it and soon it was up to his chest and still raising"No Way...No Way IN .....NO WAY IN HELL IM DYING IN SOME GOD FORSAKEN STAIRCASE!" Akuma's body would then burst with an purple chi around him and he fly out of the Pit like he was shot out of an cannon even with the increased pressure on his body he was running almost at full speed and just when he thought it couldn't get any worst their'd be an unbeliveable amount of Demons ahead blocking his path which made akuma burst with anger causing his chi to explode even higher((Anger Empowerment: Users become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. through anger, rage, hatred, and vengeance whether their own or others, possibly unlocking abilities related to the affinity and enhancing the existing powers. Some users may be able draw sustenance from the elements or even slow or stop aging.)) "Get...The ...Fuck.. OUT OF MY WAY!!" The demons/onis would charge at him Though Akuma would simply BullDoze he way through them ((he'd look like a running back pushing his way into the end zone with guys onto of him)) Eventually all the oni's would force him to the ground and they'd start piling on top of him like an overly huge dog pile. There'd Be A Flash of light streaming through the bodies followed by and explosion sending all the oni's flying, Akuma would be standing there with his hair waving upwards his eyes would be all whited out and his body would be engulfed in flames along with the area((http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/80652/unknown-o.gif )).The Explosion of chi was strong enough to blast all the oni's around him to fly back and catch fire, he'd then take a few steps forward before he began running through the sea of demons like a giant fireball, again The Black pit was once again threatening to swallow akuma up as he ran"Shit" just as he said those very words he'd blast into the sky above some palace which looked like a temple, Akuma would Then plummet to the temple floor with a Loud THUDD! noise and a small clouds of dust. Akuma would have passed out on impact,if anyone saw him they'd see that his Body would be breathing heavily along with some smoke coming off him, his body would be burning hot and would have a slight red-ish tint to it.-E-
