Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yawn." FubukiT woke up. "Finally, a quiet morning..." Then his door bursted down, waking up Becca too.
"I wanna train!!!" Shouted Kikyo, she had her Soul Weapon summoned.
"Ehh, train with someone else." Said FubukiT, yawning.
"Not with you, your weak! I wanna train with Becca!"
"Weak...?" FubukiT's eye twitched.
"Alright Kikyo, I'll meet you outside the kingdom in a few minutes." Said Becca, rubbing her eyes. Kikyo nodded and disappeared.
"Why are you going to train her? We need to train the weaklings that travel with us." Said FubukiT.
"You train them then, I'll train Kikyo some more."
"Ugh, but I hate training people." Moaned FubukiT.
"Too bad!" Laughed Becca.
"Haha, I finally got a hit on you!" Shouted Zero, as he and Andrew walked from the forest. Zero was covered in cuts and bruises, Andrew had a scratch on his arm.
"That doesn't count as a wound." Said Andrew, trying to walk faster then Zero. Zero saw this as a challenge and began to walk faster too.
"As long as it leaves a mark, its a wound!" Exclaimed Zero, he was jogging now.
"But there was no pain, so it's not a real wound!" Snapped Andrew, running now.
"IT'S STILL A WOUND!" Shouted Zero, he was now sprinting. Andrew began sprinting too. Baltro saw them and joined in.
"Haha! Your both too slow!" Laughed Baltro, she was running backwards infront of them.
"We trained all night, so of course your going to be faster!" Shouted Zero.
"A win is a win." Said Baltro, sticking her tongue out.
"Immature..." Muttered Andrew, he stopped his running and began to slow walk. He didn't feel like competing anymore.
"Roar!!!" Shouted Zero, running as fast as he could. Kikyo and Iruna saw them, and joined in.
Iruna ran and tripped Baltro. "Hehe, 'a win's a win.'" Said Iruna, mimicingly.
Kikyo was running infront of them all. "Your all so slooooow." Iruna got angry and began running at full speed. Running next to Kikyo, she pointed to a mountain. "First one there wins!"
"Ok!" Shouted Kikyo, she vanished. Zero was in the back, out of breath.
"Slow...huff....down!" Zero whined as they ran. Then he fell asleep. Baltro ran after Iruna.
"Pathetic..." Said Andrew, he began kicking Zero. "Get up...Get up...Get up..."
"Shut up!" Shouted Zero, grabbing for Andrew's foot, but missed and punched a rock. "Ahh! Dammit!" Shouted Zero, holding his bruised hand. It was already sore from the training.
Andrew couldn't help but laugh. Kikyo made it to the mountain, Becca was already sitting there, yawning. "How did you...?"
"You yelled the challenge, it's easy to hear you." Said Becca, laughing. "Well, let the training began!" She began firing arrows at Kikyo. She destroyed each one that came at her. Becca began to increase the speed of the arrows. Kikyo threw kunais at the arrows with perfect aim. "Now let's see how long you can keep this up..." Said Becca with a grin. The arrows continued to get faster.
Baltro and Iruna watched the training. "She's scary..." Said Iruna, she turned around and ran down the hill. Baltro sank into a shadow and shift across the ground.
"Ugh, whats going on?" Asked FubukiT, looking infront of him. Iruna was running, Baltro was rising from a shadow, Zero was holding his hand and shouting something, Andrew was on the ground laughing. "I need some coffee..." Muttered FubukiT, going back into the castle. As he entered the kitchen, he found Baltro trying to cook. "Weren't you just outside...? Ehh, nevermind..."
"I'm gonna cook! SO DON'T TRY ANYTHING!" Shouted Baltro, FubukiT shook his head and left. "Let's see...I need a chicken..." She pulled out a raw chicken, and placed it on the stove, the wrapping that kept it from going bad was still on it. She pulled out a dirty bucket she found and filled it with water. She took out varies vegies, she threw everything in the bucket of water. She then added gunpowder, hoping to give it a taste that 'exploded' with flavor. She put it in the oven, and put it to the highest setting. She whistled and left. A few minutes after she left, Typhad walked in, rubbing his eyes and yawning.
"What's in the oven...?" Asked Typhad to himself. As he was about to open it, the oven exploded. Typhad defended himself, he stood in a destroyed kitchen, the oven was now ashes. Chicken meat ran down the walls. Baltro walked in, seeing the mess.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MASTERPIECE?!" Shouted Baltro.
"What masterpiece?! It exploded!!!" Shouted Typhad back.
"Maybe I should of used less gunpowder..."
"YOU USED GUN POWDER?!"
"So I could give it an explosion of flavor! Duh." Exclaimed Baltro, moving her hands in strange motions as she said it.
Typhad smacked himself and walked out . "Your cleaning this up." Said Typhad.
"Easy!" Exclaimed Baltro, she stomped on the ground. Shadows covered the room and when they disappeared, everything was clean. "Hehe, I'm awesome..." Muttered Baltro, walking out of the kitchen.
"So what happened to the meal?" Asked FubukiT, his stomache was growling.
"It exploded, make your own meal." Answered Baltro. "I'm going back to bed..." She then sank into the ground, and the shadow ran up the wall into her room.
"It...exploded? I guess that's what I heard..." FubukiT shook his head.
"When can we take a break!?" Shouted Esan, blocking each of Icon's attacks.
"Once your considered a legend." Said Icon, with an evil grin.
Esan gulped, Icon dashed at Esan. He blocked and summoned a katana and slashed it at Icon. Icon hit the katana, causing it to shatter. Esan held his large sword tightly, he charged in at Icon. Icon slashed his sword, sending a large wave of energy at Esan. Esan slashed through it, and lunged at Icon. Who caught the blade and tossed it. Esan summoned another and continued to fight. "Hehe, it's time to build your fame!" Exclaimed Icon, he head-butted Esan's sword, breaking it.
"But, I don't want fame!" Shouted Esan.
"Fame is a big step towards being a legend! Now follow me, Icon ran off, Esan ran after him. They came to the village Iruna left the dragon at. The dragon was sleeping in the village, the villagers captive in their homes. "Kill the dragon." Said Icon, pointing his sword at the dragon.
"Atleast I have the element of surpri-"
"HEY DRAGON! GET UP, YOU HAVE A CHALLENGER!" Shouted Icon, startling Esan and the dragon. It roared, "Good luck." Said Icon. He then vanished.
"DON'T LEAVE ME TO FIGHT A DRAGON!" Shouted Esan, as Icon vanished. The dragon rose to the sky, and flew down at Esan. He summoned his large sword and jumped at it. It breathed fire at Esan, he cut the fire in half. Esan summoned a katana and shot it into the dragon's mouth. The dragon coughed up the katana. "Thought it was going to kill it..."The dragon slashed at Esan, who blocked it but was sent flying back. He stopped himself, his eyes were glowing. He ran at the dragon, it swiped it's claws at Esan. Who slashed his sword, cutting the claws. Esan jumped up, and sliced through the dragon. It fell to the ground, dead. "I did it!" Shouted Esan, cheering. The villagers were able to leave their homes and cheered along with Esan.
"Good job. His name is Esan! He's a legend in train!" He then picked up Esan by his arm and tossed him. "See yah, villagers." Icon disappeared. Leaving the villagers puzzled.
Esan landed in a tree, Icon was under the tree yawning. "WHY DID YOU THROW ME!?" Shouted Esan, Icon shrugged. Esan grunted and looked around, they were in a strange forest. A tribe of atleast 100 orks were near by.
"They've been terrorizing a major town, killing them and bring the leaders head to them. That should give you some fame..." Icon relaxed and meditated.
"Ugh." Esan jumped down, he didn't feeling arguing. He was tired. He walked to the ork tribe, they all stared at Esan. Esan summoned his sword and stabbed it into the ground. Blades grew from the ground, piercing them. The leader blocked the blade with an iron mace. Esan jumped at the ork, the ork blocked and pushed Esan off. While in the air, Esan tossed a katana at the ork. The quickly summoned katanas behind the ork, the ork swung at the one infront of it, then the katanas stabbed it in the back, it fell to the ground. Esan walked up, picking up the body with ease. He yawned, he was too tired to care about anything. "Icon, where's the place?" Asked Esan.
"About a mile away, run there." Said Icon, still meditating.
"Ok..." Answered Esan, he charged into the forest. He held the ork in the air with one hand, and he sliced any tree infront of him with a katana. He arrived at the town, it was huge. Everyone pointed and stared as Esan walked in the town holding the dead body of the ork leader. He placed it down, everyone gathered around Esan and watched. "I'm Esan, yadda yadda, I killed this thing for yah." They cheered and chanted 'Esan' over and over. Esan hated attention, he waved and ran off. Bumping into Icon.
"Good job, now sleep for about 30 minutes and we shall continue the hunt for fame!"
"Yay!" Muttered Esan, falling alseep. The villagers gathered around Esan again, and began poking him with sticks. They thought he died.
"Alright! Everyone gather!" Shouted FubukiT. Andrew ran in, so did Zero. Iruna walked in with a huge cookie. Kikyo couldn't get through the kingdom doors, the cookie she carried was too big. Becca slipped in. "Ehh, I catch Kikyo up after this." Said FubukiT. "Now, as you remember, the Master Dark Lord talked about the Shadow Lords, well, were going to go fight a small group so get ready."
Iruna's hand shot up. "Can I kill them?!" Shouted Iruna.
"You can try..." Said FubukiT.
"Yay!" Iruna began cheering.
"Let's start our little journey, the walk is a few miles." Said FubukiT, he found Kikyo lying outside , she was covered in cookie crumbs and groaning. "Ugh..."
"Wake up Esan!" Shouted Icon, kicking Esan sending him into the air and smashing into the ground.
"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR!?" Shouted Esan.
"Ahh, good. Your back to your old self, well, there have been rumors of some Shadow Lords being in this area."
"Shadow Lords?"
"Yep, and your going to fight them. We will lure them into a huge city and fight them there. Your fame will skyrocket!"
"Yay..." Said Esan, waving his finger. Icon shook his hand and kicked Esan, sending him flying in the direction of the Shadow Lords. Esan landed infront of them, about ten Shadow Lords stood infront of him. "Hey..." Esan jumped up and ran. The Shadow Lords chased him, he saw buildings. He stood in the center of a huge city. People gathered, he saw Icon selling tickets. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"
"Building your fame! Now fight!" Shouted Icon.
Mine of the Shadow Lords sat, letting one enter. "They're underestimating you Esan! Such disrespect!" Laughed Icon. Esan shook his head, he summoned his large sword. Several katanas were circling Esan. The Shadow Lord dashed at Esan, he jumped to the side and slashed down. Cutting the Shadow Lord's arm off, it suddeny regrew. Esan had a puzzled and frightened look.How am I supposed to kill something like this!? The Shadow Lord summoned a flail, and began swung it at Esan. Esan ducked and stabbed upwards. His katanas were already around the Shadow Lord. Esan's sword shattered the flail, and the katanas all stabbed into the Shadow Lord. It exploded, leaving nothing. "Good job Esan! Now nine more!" Shouted Icon, laughing.
Esan was tired and feeling weak from just fighting one. He decided not to take his eyes off the Shadow Lords, they were dangerous. They all stood up and walked towards Esan, he gulped.

TOO BE CONTINUED!!! XD

"Hey...Nine against one isn't fair..." Said Icon from the back, Icon's sword flew past Esan and stabbed through one of the Shadow Lords. Icon appeared next to Esan, "Alright, continue..." Said Icon, a grin appeared on his face. Four shadows ran at Icon, the other four ran at Esan. Esan jumped to avoid one of their swords. His eyes began to glow, he slashed at one. It was pushing back, the scar slowly healed itself. Esan dashed at it, slicing it in half. One of the others kicked Esan in the back, sending him skidding across the dirt. Esan stood up, he got slashed in the arm. He looked around, he was in an empty space. He was getting slashed at still, he was now barely able to stand. He summoned katanas around him, they began to spin. He heard a shred, like when someone rips a sheet. The gap appeared, like a hole back. He jumped through Icon was relaxed, he already killed his four. The rest attacked Esan, he kicked on into the air. He surrounded it with katanas, they all stabbed inwards, killing it. One of the Shadow Lords seemed strong then the rest, it waited as the last Shadow Lord ran in. Esan stabbed his katana into the ground, blades sprang from the ground, piercing the Shadow Lord. The last one that seemed stronger. His voice sounded strange.
"Those were only Shadow Lord apprentices, you will now face a real Shadow Lord..." It punched Esan, sending him through the air. Esan shot katanas as he flew, the Shadow Lord caught them and through them back. Esan made them shatter before they stabbed him. Esan summoned his large sword and dashed at the Shadow Lord. It summoned a battle axe. It slashed at Esan, who barely blocked it. Esan jumped on the side of the axe, and slashed at the Shadow Lord. This sword cut through the Shadow Lord's head. It reformed, and Esan jumped back. He held his sword in a kendo stance. Citizens watched, they surrounded Esan and the Shadow Lord. Esan summoned a katana in his left hand. He slashed at the Shadow Lord with his large sword. Who blocked it, then Esan lunged the katana in his left hand at the Shadow Lord, piercing him in the stomache. The Shadow Lord hissed and swiped his axe at Esan. Esan had a gash on his left arm, blood leeked. I can't keep this up... Esan took a kendo stance, he dashed at the Shadow Lord. Who swiped his axe again. Esan ducked this time, and pierced the sword into the chest of the Shadow Lord, it growled violently as it backed away. It fell to the ground, dead. The Shadow Lord faded into the ground. Esan heard cheers from the crowd.
"This is the great Esan! Spread the word!" Shouted Icon, waving to the crowd. They chanted Esan over and over. Esan hid his face, hating the attention.
"Too late huh?" Asked FubukiT, squeezing through the crowd.
"Yah, Esan was able to defeat the Shadow Lord." Said Icon, giving a thumbs up.
"Ahh, good job." Said FubukiT, he wanted to fight it.
"Ugh, shouldn't of trained all night...So tired..." Complained Andrew to himself. He was left behind, he could see the village, the group was already there. "Ugh."
"Well, well. Didn't expect to find you, Andrew." Said a voice, the Master Dark Lord emerged the shadow of a tree. He had a cleaver in his hand.
Andew quickly summoned his Soul Weapon, he shattered the orbs so they became knuckle bracers. "I've become powerful you know, I think I can defeat you..."
Shadows came from the ground, restraining Andrew. "You think so? Well, I'm not like your old master. I'm much more powerful, and I don't give up on apprentices..." Said the Master Dark Lord with a grin. "Why don't you let me train you? You can easily defeat that group then..."
"I can't betray them! If I do, I'm no better then my master!" Shouted Andrew.
"But are you becoming stronger from training alone? I'm the strongest being in this world, training under me is the best anyone could hope for..."
Andrew fell silent, he wanted more power.
"Ahh, I caught your attention. Well, if you decide to become my apprentice, you must do something with me...You must help me kill that group you travel with...Your friends..." Said the Master Dark Lord, his grin was growing.
"I can't!" Shouted Andrew.
"This power...It's a once in a life time oppertunity..."
"..."
"I'll take that as a yes..." The shadows faded, Andrew could move again. "Now follow me." The Master Dark Lord began to walk towards the castle.
"..." Andrew pulled his hood over his head. Hiding his face, he followed the Master Dark Lord.
Becca looked at the forest, already the fire began to erupt from her. Scaring the citizens, they ran back to their homes. The rest looked at the forest, they noticed what Becca saw. "You dare show your face..." Said Becca, her bow appeared. "We'll kill you here!" She fired an arrow, to destroy the area. The arrow faded as she saw who was behind him. "Andrew...?" The group was puzzled.
"..." Andrew stood behind the Master Dark Lord. The Master Dark Lord laughed then charged in. FubukiT appeared infront of him. His aura was powerful, the punched the Master Dark Lord, sending him flying back. The shadow faded in the air, then reapearred behind FubukiT. A katana slashed the Master Dark Lord's back. He turned around, his grin gone. Esan stood with his large sword summoned. He was in a kendo stance, his sword was glowing with power.
"You dare scratch my back with a puny sword?!" Shouted the Master Dark Lord, he grabbed the katana in his back and shattered it. He charged in at Esan, Esan took a defensive stance. The Master Dark Lord punched through Esan's sword. Sending him skidding back again. Fire erupted from the ground under the Master Dark Lord. He jumped out of the way, his arm was slighty burned. Becca stood infront of him, a sword made of flowing lava in her hand. She slashed at the Master Dark Lord, he faded and reappeared, making the sword pass through him. A cut appeared on his arm. Kikyo was dashing around him at light speed. The Master Dark Lord stomped the ground, cracks ran down the roads. Kikyo jumped into the air, leaving herself vulnerable. The Master Dark Lord jumped and slashed at her. Becca teleported infront of Kikyo, blocking the hit with her sword. She pushed the Master Dark Lord back. A dragon made of stone smashed into the Master Dark Lord. Sending him hurrdling into the ground. FubukiT appeared next to Becca. The Master Dark Lord laughed and appeared infront of them. FubukiT created his elemental sword then he and Becca fought the Master Dark Lord.
"Betraying us Andrew?" Asked Typhad, with a mocking tone as he approached Andrew. Iruna jumped down, she walked towards Andrew too. She stuck her arms out, trying to resemble a zombie. Baltro laughed.
"Do you really trust the Master Dark Lord?" Asked Baltro, landing behind him. "He can't be trusted, your just going to be used. Though he's not as merciful as I was, he kills his apprentices when he grows bored of them..."
Esan joined in. "Don't do this Andrew, I hate being the youngest of the group..." They all turned to him, then sighed,
"What a stupid reason to ask him to stay for..." Said Typhad, shaking his head. Iruna was eating a cookie now.
"I'll do what I please, your just holding me back..." Said Andrew from under his hood. He stomped, the Shadow Lords Esan and Icon killed were resurrected, they returned more powerful. Esan was getting angry.
"You can't just betray us like this. Do you think this makes you cool or something?" Asked Esan, with a grin.
"I don't need to explain anything."
"The mysterious act...Ugh." Esan grunted.
The Shadow Lords jumped at them. Esan slashed through the weak ones. The stronger one remained, Typhad grinned.
"I always wanted to fight one of them." Lightning struck Typhad, he returned with static aura dancing on him. He disappeared and reappeared behind the Shadow Lord. He punched through it. Static surged from Typhad's fists, the Shadow Lord exploded. Typhad grinned and cracked his knuckles. "Now, do you still plan to betray us? You'll have to fight all of us..." Andrew kicked backwards, hitting Baltro and sending her into a tree. He ran forward, Esan appeared infront of him and slashed his sword at Andrew. Andrew summoned his knuckle bracers and blocked the hit with his fists. Blades branched from his katana, slashing Andrew's arm. Leaving a slash, Esan couldnt cut through. He was weak from his fights, lightning striked Esan, he suddenly felt refreshed. He remembered Typhad's amazing healing alchemy. He grinned and jumped at Andrew. He punched the blade, then dashed to the side. He punched at Esan, who ducked and tripped Andrew. Andrew punched the ground as he fell, sending him into the air. He stood in the air, his arms crossed. Esan's eyes began to glow. He jumped up at Andrew, surprising him. Esan began barraging Andrew with slashes. Andrew punched them off, Esan kicked Andrew in the stomache, sending him back. He bumped into someone, Baltro was behind him. He punched at her, she caught his wrists and tossed him. Andrew punched downward in the air, the force of the air from the punch sent Baltro smashing into the earth. She rubbed her head as she got up. Esan hit his hilt into Andrew's back. Andrew withstood the blow and punched Esan. Esan flew back, he coughed up some blood. Andrew grinned. Esan didn't want to hold back anymore. He disappeared and appeared behind Andrew, slashing his back. Andrew fell but caught himself. Esan stood above him, and stomped on his head. Sending him flying into the earth. Baltro swung her cleaver, Andrew evaded and punched through the cleaver. He hit Baltro, sending her shooting into a house. Esan slashed his sword down, Andrew caught it and slammed the sword, along with Esan, into the ground. Esan rolled and jumped back, slashing his katana at Andrew. Andrew avoided Esan, and rose to the sky once again. Esan was getting tired of this, he summoned his large sword and dashed at Andrew. Esan's speed increased, he slashed at him. Andrew tried to punch the blade, but the sword was stronger then the katanas, his knuckle bracers broke. He was able to raise his arms in a defensive stance and his arms got slashed. He was sent shooting back, he couldn't stop himself, blood dripped from his arms.
"Look's like Andrew couldn't handle Esan and Baltro at the same time. I guess I'll return with a rematch..." Said the Master Dark Lord, as his vanished. FubukiT and Becca looked around for him. A shadow appeared behind Andrew, engulfing him then disappearing. Baltro walked from the building, cracking her knuckles. She noticed Andrew was gone.
"Dam, couldn't get a hit..." Muttered Baltro, she was fighting to just keep from collapsing.
"So I guess we lost a member?" Asked Kikyo. FubukiT and Becca were silent, they just lowered their heads. "Traitor..."
"He put up a good fight, too bad he couldn't stick around. I wanted to see who would win!" Shouted Icon, he watched the whole thing.
Becca punched Icon, sending him back a bit. "WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP US?!" Shouted Becca, barraging Icon with hits. FubukiT was startled, he forgot how much Becca hated slackers.
"Well...You looked like you were having fun! So I thought, 'oh, why interupt their great fun?' It would of been selfish of me!" Said Icon, hoping it made sense.
"Slacker!" Shouted Becca, she turned away from Icon. "You ok, Kikyo?"
"Yep!" Exclaimed Kikyo. Iruna offered her a cookie, and Kikyo began munching on it, like a hamster.
"So what do we do now?" Asked Esan, walking to the group.
"Well, we train. The Master Dark Lord is probably going to train Andrew! I won't let my apprentice be weaker!" Shouted Icon, his face was bruised.
"What happened to you?" Asked Esan. "I could never land a hit, but somehow your bruised?!"
"Well..." Becca gave him an evil glare and cracked her knuckles. "I tripped! The great Icon can make mistakes every once in awhile!" Shouted Icon, laughing.
Esan shook his head. "Well, lets train..." He heard clapping from the buildings.
"The savior Esan!" Shouted the citizens. Esan scratched his head and had a small grin.
"Let the training begin!" Shouted Icon, he kicked Esan. Sending him through the air. FubukiT teleported up and kicked Esan to the ground.
"HEY! I'm not some soccer ball!" Shouted Esan, rubbing his head as he stood up.
"Icon, Esan will never get stronger from your training! I'll train him for a bit!" Shouted FubukiT,feeling left out.
"I'm going to train him!" Shouted Icon.
"You could train me!" Exclaimed Zero, he was cheering.
FubukiT and Icon looked at Zero, they stared for a bit.
"I want to train Esan!" Shouted Icon, again.
"No!" Shouted FubukiT.
"Then we both train him!" Shouted Icon, he was going to ask Esan who he'd chose. But he knew Esan enough that he would just shrug and say 'I don't know.'
"Alright! I train him today! You train him tomorrow!" Exclaimed FubukiT.
"Fine!" Shouted back Icon. He sat and meditated. Awaiting tomorrow.
"Don't worry Zero, I'll train you." Said Typhad. Zero cheered.
"Yes! I shall become a legend!!! BEFORE ESAN!"
Esan's head perked up as Zero said that, he turned around. "I'LL BE A LEGEND FIRST!" He didn't want to lose to Zero. "FubukiT! Let's start the training!" Shouted Esan.
"Good, just what I wanted to hear." Said FubukiT with a grin. He stomped the ground, a crack appeared and Esan fell in. "I'm sending you to the Demon's Crater! If you survive, you'll surely become powerful!" Shouted FubukiT, jumping in. "I'll watch."
Esan face-planted on a rock. "AHH!!!" Shouted Esan, covering his bruised face. He heard huffing, he looked around. He was surrounded by strange, large red beasts. They had giant warhammers in each hand. Esan's eye twitched. They dashed at Esan, he began to fight. They training has begun.
"The first training you'll have is to attack the monks that hold guard the Temple of Fire. If you can defeat all of them, then you will gain much strength..." Said the Master Dark Lord, as he and Andrew walked through the forest. "If you complete this, I'll be able to give you the power to become a shadow. Though, you will be able to switch between human and shadow. Then I'll give you the next test. Do that, and I'll teach you to merge your shadow and human form..."
Andrew nodded, he approached the temple. Beings made of fire sat infront of it. They meditated, their fire didn't seem to affect the grass or trees. "The master monk is in the tempe. Defeat them first..." Said the Master Dark Lord, he had an evil grin. Andrew nodded.
"I shall complete this little training task with no mistakes..." Said Andrew, his tone was cold and dark.


TOO BE CONTINUED!!! XD

Desynji you need to update yours!

im updating??!!

Andrew approached the fire monks, they were still in meditation. The closer Andrew got to them, the more their fire raged. As he stood infront of one, he summoned his knuckle bracers. Then punched, the fire raged, burning his hand. He jumped back as they fire monk stood and charged. Andrew didn't know how to fight fire, so he continued to dodge each blow. He made a swift punch into the fire, he felt something in it. He grabbed it and pulled it out, an Elemental Gem was there. The fire proof robes dropped. So the Elemental Gem inside them is the only thing that keeps them alive... He absorbed it, the other fire monks were out of their meditation, they stood and approached Andrew. He punched the air, causing the fire to shake. He charged in, fighting them as they came. He pulled out each Elemental Gem, and absorbed them. The temple began to crack, the master monk walked out. He looked human with a large flame shaped scar on his face. He teleported above Andrew, then flames bursted from his fist. Engulfing the area around Andrew, Andrew was able standing adminst the flames. He was unscathed, the shadows dispersed from Andrew. The Master Dark Lord protected him, Andrew dashed in at the monk. The fight raged, Andrew's wind pressured attacks versus the monk's fire attacks. Andrew continued to blow out the fire, sometimes deflecting it back at the monk. Andrew was able to get close to the monk and punched his chest. A small crater formed under the monk, the monk was sent crashing through the temple. The Master Dark Lord clapped and walked from their hiding place. "Good job, I guess I can teach you how to become a shadow..." The Master Dark Lord held out his hand, in his palm was a dark orb, shadows swirled around it. He plunged it into Andrew, shadows stretched out from Andrew's chest and engulfed his body, leaving a silhoute of himself. "Ahh, that went well." The Master Dark Lord stomped, shadows rose around them and carried them off to the Master Dark Lord's underground kingdom. When they arrived, Andrew saw other shadows sitting, they watched with curiousity. "This is Andrew, he will be joining us! As my new apprentice!"
"Welcome..." Said a shadow, she had a female voice. Andrew just nodded. The rock hit Andrew, "You have to talk! It'll be boring if the noobie doesn't talk!" Shouted the shadow, she stood and walked over to him. "You can call me Adea. Now let's hear your name, not from the Master Dark Lord, but you."
"I'm Andrew..." Mumbled Andrew, rubbing the bruise on his head that the rock left.
"Good! Now come join us!" Shouted Adea, tossing Andrew over to the group of shadows.
"Ahh, you have fun now..." Said the Master Dark Lord, walking off. He was joined by a large shadow.
"You have another apprentice? How many do you plan to get?" Asked the shadow, it waited for a response.
"Who knows, as many as I want. I plan to attack that FubukiT's kingdom again...And win..." He continued to walk, the shadow still followed.
"When will we attack...?" Asked the shadow.
"Soon, once I feel their ready..." He slowly sank into the ground as he walked. His shadow swifty moved across the flow. The shadow nodded, and walked off.
"So Andrew, what abilities do you have?" Asked one of the shadows, he held a metallic pole.
"Long and close range attacks dealing with wind and time..." Mumbled Andrew, "And I am a necromancer..."
"Ahh, then you will be much help when the time comes." Said another shadow, he snickered. He held a dagger, it was shrouded with shadows.
"When the time comes..?"
"Yes, we plan to attack some kingdom owned by FubukiT and Becca."
Andrew's eyes widened as he heard that. He stood up, "then let's train, you don't think any of you could handle them..."
The group looked surprised, it's the first time Andrew said something without mumbling. "Hmm, how strong are they?"
"Strong enough to put up a fight against the Master Dark Lord." Said Andrew, remembering the fight.
The group fell silent, they stood up one by one. "Then let's test them...." Said Adea, she had a grin plastered on her face.
"Yes...It could be fun..." Said another shadow, she had katar's attached to her wrists. Andrew remained silent, Adea held out her hand. Shadow's swarmed around her, a scythe began to form. She held it in the air, then slammed the bottom of it into the ground. They found themselves a mile away from the group.
"Let's rest, Andrew, tell us everything you know about them...Imagine how pleased the Master Dark Lord would be if we were able to defeat them!" Shouted Adea, she sat and got comfortable.
"Come on Esan, you'll never be able to win against the Master Dark Lord at this pace!" Shouted FubukiT, throwing hot pebbles at Esan.
"Hey! I just had a fight!"
"Too bad!" Laughed FubukiT.
Esan grunted and continued fighting the demons. He jumped over on and lunged his katana into it's skull. The other demons charged in, Esan summoned his large sword and fought them off. One slammed it's hammer at Esan, who was barely able to block it. He was sent crashing through rocks, he could barely stand. They began to close in on him. His eyes were now glowing, he stood up. He was barely able to keep still, he jumped at him. He was able to slash through one, another kicked him into the air. Then threw it's hammer at him. Esan slashed through the hammer, the heavy remains crashed into some of the demons. Esan stood in the air, blocking and deflecting each hammer. He was growing tired. "Expand your aura over your body! It would be much stronger then!" Shouted FubukiT, he watched as if it were a movie.
"How?!" Shouted Esan back.
"You'll find a way." Replied FubukiT, getting relaxed.
Esan's eye twitched, he hated those kind of answers. He held his sword in a kendo stance, then dashed down at them. Slashing at each hammer that came his way, a hammer slammed into his side. He stuck his sword into the ground so he wouldn't fly back again. He slashed through the demon and continued to fight on. As a hammer was about to bash Esan's skull in, he dashed to the side. The blue and green aura was shining brightly, they began to leak out. They surround Esan's body, the green and blue aura mixed, forming a swirl of both. Esan felt more powerful.
"About time..." Muttered FubukiT. Esan's eye twitched, he slashed through at a hammer. Then kicked a demon across the rocky area. Demons ran at him without hammers. Esan's sword shattered. "Try fighting without a weapon!" Shouted FubukiT.
"How!? They're twice my size!" Exclaimed Esan.
"Who knows..."
"..." Esan summoned to katanas. They then absorbed into his hand, the aura on his arm's glowed brighter then anywhere else. He punched one, sending it flying at FubukiT. FubukiT picked up a rock and tossed it at the demon. Sending him back at Esan, Esan kicked in a different direction, the demon collided with several others.
"Ahh, it seems you can dodge my arrows well..." Said Becca, cheerfully.
Kikyo was out of breath. "Yep! Bring on the next training!" Shouted Kikyo.
"Alright..." Snickered Becca, a cut appeared on Kikyo's arm. Becca held her bow out. "Hehe, I can control the speed of my arrows, these are at the speed of sound. Once your able to evade them with ease, I will increase the speed again." Kikyo nodded, she watched the arrow formed in her hand. It flew at Kikyo, she jumped out of the way, landing on her stomache. She looked up, and Becca had an arrow pointed at her head. "Never lie down during a fight..." Laughed Becca.
"I know! Let's continue the training!" Exclaimed Kikyo, jumping up.
"Alright!" Becca rapidly shot the arrows, Kikyo evaded some, while others cut her. Luckily, Becca wasn't aiming for her organs. "Try to focus!" Shouted Becca, still firing arrows. Kikyo jumped into the air, she kicked the incoming arrows.
"Hehe! I'm getting better!" Exclaimed Kikyo, as she landed on her feet.
"Yes! So let's increase the speed..." Said Becca with a grin. Kikyo gulped, arrows flew at her. She barely avoided them, she punched some, wounds were left on her hands. She summoned her Soul Weapon, she began teleporting around. "Ahh! I can increase the speed more now!"
"But you still can't-" A cut appeared on her cheek.
"My arrows can move as fast as light..." Said Becca, feeling proud. "Let's continue!!!" She rapidly fired arrows, Kikyo was hit by some. She summoned kunais to swirl around her, she used her stealth sword to block some. She slowly improved, her speed as even getting better.
"Now Zero." Said Typhad, examining Zero. "You don't seem to powerful..."
"Whats that supposed to mean?!" Yelled Zero, getting frustrated.
"Don't worry! I'll make you powerful!" Exclaimed Typhad, taking a strange pose and laughing.
"Hehe...?"
Typhad slammed his palm into the ground, the earth around Zero caved in. He was able to jump out in time. "Hmm, I'll teach you some alchemy..." Said Typhad.
"Awesome!" Exclaimed Zero, he mimiced Typhad's attack. The earth around Typhad shook. Typhad was startled and quickly jumped.
"Alchemy without an array? That's some talent..." Said Typhad with a grin, he began to crack his knuckles. "This will be fun!"
Typhad began rapidly punched the ground, earth rose around Zero. "A good way to focus and strengthen your alchemy skills is through meditation and practice. The calmer your mind is, the stronger your alchemy. Though sometimes anger can increase your alchemy's power aswell...Though we'll stick with the calm mind! Meditate for a few hours, then we'll test your abilities again!"
"Ok!" Exclaimed Zero, he sat down and began to meditate.
Icon sat with his head down. He was bored, he wanted to train Esan. "A swordsmen should be trained BY a swordsmen..." Muttered Icon to himself.
"I can almost dodge your arrows!" Exclaimed Kikyo, dancing.
"Yah, very good! Though we'll continue to train with arrows, I don't think you could withstand training with elements..." Said Becca, scratching her head.
"I can handle it!" Exclaimed Kikyo, fire raged from Becca's palm. Kikyo barely avoided it, the flames destroyed a building.
"Oops..." Mumbled Becca, as the building crashed down. Kikyo stood terrified.
"Perhaps we should stick with the arrows..." Said Kikyo, her voice was shakey.
"Good idea." Laughed Becca, arrows flew at Kikyo. She grinned and dodged them. It was much like a dance, as she weaved together moves.
"Ehh, looks like you wiped out most of them." Said FubukiT, clapping. They heard a roar in the distance, the leader of the small group of demons Esan fought was coming to check on them. "Hmm, that doesn't sound good..." Said FubukiT.
"Yah, lets go!" Exclaimed Esan, as he slowly began he way to the surface.
"No, your going to fight it!" Shouted FubukiT, teleporting up and tossing Esan to the ground. Esan looked up to find himself staring into the eye's of a demon, this one was stronger. It slammed it's large hammer at Esan, to rolled to the side. Esan jumped up, he surrounded himself with his aura. He summoned his large sword, and awaited the demon's move. It jumped at Esan, he barely blocked the hammer. The force of the blow still sent Esan hurdling back through rocks. He stood up, and coughed up some blood. He ran at the demon, who swiped it's hammer at him. Esan jumped over it this time, and slashed at the demon. Leaving a small scratch, Esan jumped back, he was afraid he wasn't going to win. He evaded the hammer, and jumped onto it this time, he held onto the top. The demon swung the hammer around, trying to get him off. Esan jumped from the hammer to the demon's shoulder, he slashed down. The demon's right arm crashed into the ground, a small shockwave was let out from the impact. The demon shouted something in a different language, it picked up the hammer and swung with his left arm. Esan ducked as the hammer came at him, he thrusted his sword into the demon's heart. It collapsed, leaving a large crater. Esan was rubbing his wound, he used his sword to balance himself as he walked over to FubukiT.
"Can we leave...?" Asked Esan, holding his side. One of his ribs were broken.
"I guess..." Said FubukiT, yawning. He kicked Esan out through the crack. Esan landed next to Typhad, who noticed Esan's condition and healed him.
"Ah! Much better!" Exclaimed Esan, standing up. "I feel so much more powerful!" Shouted Esan.
"Told yah..." Said FubukiT to Icon. He turned his head away.
"Well, Esan, it's MY turn to train you!" Shouted Icon, standing up. He walked over to Esan, he then tossed his sword past him. It swirled and cut down the first few rows of trees behind them. Revealing the shadow's that were hiding. "Or maybe fighting them will be better..." Said Icon, as the shadows walked forward.
"We came to ask for a fight!" Exclaimed Adea, her scythe in her hand. The group of shadow's roared with excitement. Andrew just nodded.
"Is that Andrew?" Asked Esan, pointing at him.
"Hmm, I think so!" Shouted Icon, laughing. "He became a shadow! Interesting!" He turned to FubukiT, Becca, and Typhad. "Perhaps we should leave this to the students? To test their strength!"
"I guess..." Said Becca, she knew Icon just wanted to sleep.
"Fine..." Mumbled FubukiT, wanting to fight.
"It's ok with me." Said Typhad, kicking down the stone barrier around Zero. "Zero, come out and fight for a bit!" Shouted Typhad, Zero rushed out and cheered.
"I'm gonna defeat them all!" Shouted Zero, he cheered for himself. Everyone just stared.
Baltro walked up, "this should be fun!" Iruna jumped down, her mouth was filled with cookies. She nodded.
"Alright! Then let the match begin!" Shouted Adea, power was surging from both groups.
