friends-

years later, Akumi is now a teenager he laying in bed dreaming about a woman one he had never seen before, and every time before he could make out her face he would always wake up. It was the two last days until his graduation, and he had been laying in his bed thinking about what he would do with his future, when his father called him downstairs. He walked down the steps only to see a girl with long light brown hair, her name was misaki, and a teenage boy who was slightly taller than her his name was jozu, or that's what they called him his real name was tetsu, they were his friends he had known since he was in the second grade.

Akumi said," oh dad i have to go i'm helping prepare for the third year graduation ceremony"  his father replied, "ok just be back by 8:00 i have to go to  renzek corp i won't be here so get yourself something to eat or fix something, if you do feed Haruto food too. As the three had been part of the athletics club it was common for them to hang out together, but the club disbanded as it was in the last days of school, they also only had three days left together until they had to start applying to college, meaning they would have to venture off on their own and learn new things since they were applying to different colleges.

future-

Now in the auditorium the three had set up podiums for the third year's speech, and the banners, and signs, so they decided to go out and get something to eat, so they went to mr. conalds burger farm. They ordered their food and they sat there discussing their futures, misaki said that she was going to attend kinci university,in osaka, after that i'm coming back here to get a job jozu what will you be doing jozu, he replied saying that he was going to go to a school that specializes in computer graphics but he was stuck in between two of them. Shortly after the three parted ways, as he was walking home, he saw a girl across the street crying. Before he could get to her cars rushed past him he watched them rushing past going up the street when he looked back to where the little girl was, she was gone. A few seconds later he dropped to his knees, feeling warm liquid run down the back of his legs, he struggled to look back and that's when he saw it there was a dark smokey spider with fangs as sharp as knives. As it crawled toward him he pulled himself forward with his hands, it lunged at him, as it did so he screamed, " get away" the alley way ground turned a molten reddish orange and formed into a spiked wall slicing the creature in two before he could realize what had happened he passed out, when he awoke his father was changing his bandages his father told him," i knew this would happen someday or another i'm going to heal your wounds so you can go to your graduation tomorrow before his father could say anything else he fainted again.

father-

i knew this would happen eventually i should have suppressed his powers while i could i guess i'll have to wait and see what happens i'll erase the memories he had from a couple of hours ago, he then left Akumi's room and then went into his own he looked underneath his bed he pulled a ember stone out and broke it on the ground," there that should open his abilities and potential a bit more" from behind him there was a voice," do you really think that you can protect him" he turned but no one was there he fell to his knees and screamed as he held his head he had become so distracted that he didn't notice that shadow beasts had invaded his home," stay away from my son" in that moment Haruto, Akumi's pet wolf, had awoken it dashed up the stairs and at the top of them let out a echoing howl and when Haruto brought its teeth down they rubbed together causing sparks, the air in the house ignited and when it cleared the voices of the shadow beasts disappeared Hideki walked out of the room and stared at Haruto.

graduation

in the mirror tightening his tie he looked at Haruto, and smiled Haruto came up to him and nudged him with his head he pushed him to the window where he could see his friends Akumi rushed downstairs and told his father," bye dad see you at the graduation" he grabbed his lunch and left with his friends they talked, and laughed as they reflected on their old memories misaki told jozu," that he used to be a dork" then she laughed and said," now you're our dork" they arrived at school, they mostly hung out in the halls or in class talking to their other friends when the schools voiceover chimed ,the halls flooded with people as they filled into the auditorium misaki,jozu, and Akumi went into the auditorium and they gazed, and marveled at the decorations they put up, Akumi looked for his father but couldn't see him, misaki cheered him up being the oldest and the one who initially started the friendship with Akumi and jozu, she was a very sociable person and a natural student council president, she told the two that she was going up on stage to give her speech she walked out of the row and up the stairs and stood at the podium and spoke into the microphone saying," i'd like to thank you all for attending midoku today, whether you are a student or a teacher today is a very honorable day because we get to honor those who have worked hard this year, since this is the last day that day that i will be here i want to thank all of you for allowing me to be your student council president and for allowing me to listen to your problems and better the school with them now i turn you over to the vice president of the student council or now i should say student council president kazuma'' as she was about to walk off stage the room went quiet Akumi looked around and the room was completely quiet it was then that he realized that everyone was frozen as soon as he came to that realization the door to the auditorium suddenly burst open he ducked between the seats as weird men in armor and beasts on chains ran into the room forming a circle in the openings of the seats a hooded creature came into the room and with a deep but raspy voice it said," hold your formation we are here for the one" it drifted over the ground over to the steps where misaki had been going down he commanded one of the beast handlers to come to him and said," we must take this one with us too she is a perfect specimen" Akumi heard the creature say that and before the handler could pick her up he yelled, "let her go" the beast handlers turned  and opened their mouths which let out a faint glow then a beam of light blasted from them forming a white hazy bubble around him they then released the chains on the beast and they surrounded the white haze.

sense

as Hideki rushed from his job to his son's school midoku, he sensed bloodlust he then stomped his feet on the ground two times and lightning flashed from his feet in a second he dashed to the school, when he tried to enter the auditorium there was a barrier that kept him out, he punched and kicked as he pushed his body against the barrier, his hair and suit became disheveled, there was nothing that he could do.

everything around Akumi turned black and white it was as if he was floating to the bottom of the ocean," i don't know what's happening, am i going to die, who are these people" his life flashed before his eyes and with every memory a small spark occurred instilling power into him the final memory was the woman without a face from his dreams and his younger self running up to her calling her mom suddenly his mind went into peace and around his body a flame appeared the ground beneath him crumbled and rose up to his body forming a armor that looked like stones forming around lava his hair turned into flames and his eyes turned a dark black with a ruby red pupil he had transformed into something that he never knew possible he walked forward out of the flames and the white haze disappeared, condensing his body he released all of the stones on his body making them fly through the air like bullets towards the handlers ripping through them in seconds they fell to the ground the flaming rocks flew back to him like a boomerang and orbited him seeing that all of the handlers and beast had been killed he pulled the stones back to him only for a handler to grab him from behind grunting," i have you now" he condensed his body and flames roared into the handler and turned turned into ashes, the hooded creature backed away as he walked towards him whimpering, " please let me go i've done nothing wrong they've forced me to do this me being a strong guy such as yourself you know rightful judgement right please i beg you" he didn't say anything but his flames grew the ground cracked and the air around him started to wave he lifted his right arm and a stone floated upwards it shifted into a ball with spikes, before the hooded creature could say anything it was sent flying into his chest Akumi then said," now die" clenching his hand the spike grew in his chest ripping him to pieces as he let out a wail a burst of energy released from him as he powered down he was incredibly weak all of the monsters disintegrated into nothing and time began moving he stood there weak in front of misaki telling her you did a wonderful job but slumped onto her as he tried to give her a hug jozu then walked up and said that she did a great job being president, Akumi's father stood at the doors of the auditorium fixing his hair and tie, he cleared his throat and walked to where the other parents were, he looked over and saw Akumi resting in his seat when the principal called him up on stage his friends had to nudge him awake after he shook the principal's hand and took his certificate he looked out into the audience and saw his father and smiled, after that the friends later went to the amusement park to celebrate their graduation on the ferris wheel misaki said solemnly," i can't believe that i have to pack up and move tomorrow" they all looked sad but at the end of the ferris wheel there was a bracelet stand, jozu went over and bought three of them," now we will never forget each other this is a sign that after we finish college we will come back here" they agreed and they left the park and parted at the entrance.

as Akumi returned home he walked past the living room his father called him in and what he had seen shocked him his father's clothes were ruffled and hair disheveled he had never seen him like this before his father told him that he had to tell him something but he was going to summarize it Hideki said,"son when you were 4 years old i took you to your aunt's house and left you there to go on a journey that would better your future" he looked puzzled as his father spoke to him, " this may sound hard to believe but believe me i went off to a land  that was quite odd the land was grassy but if you walked a little further it turned into a desert there i found a man who trained me in the secret ways of shido fist you will be going there to train with him, you may want to ask questions but there is no time your teacher is waiting", "what are you talking about wait" his father grabbed Haruto and his son and threw an odd crystal on the ground when the smoke cleared he was in the desert, " there it is the door to your future go in and greet you teacher" when he had turned around his father was not there he looked at Haruto and said,  " let's go in" when the two opened the door cold air blasted from the doorway the two paced slowly to the two large doors that had been slightly open. What they saw was a wacky old man with snow for beard Akumi said, " how is this possible we are inside, aren't we" as he said that the old man stood up and disappeared as snow whipped and flashed through the air and he appeared behind the two," hello my name is master shido i will be your teacher no questions only tea" he shut the doors and opened them again, when he did it had turned into a bamboo forest with a waterfall he pushed the two into the room saying, " here sit down now is time for tea we can train later, every time Akumi tried to say something the old man interrupted him, " the old man filled the cups and a bowl with tea and handed it to Akumi, and placed the bowl down for Haruto," ok so before you ask any questions you are a demon","what" he gurgled as he spat out the tea the old man said," sorry is the tea burned i'll fix that" no you just said that i was a demon old man, correct, " and call me shido or just Dragon and yes i did your father came to me fifteen years ago and he told me that your mother was demon and that he did not know that she was, she had told him years after you were born so if i'm correctly speaking your half human half demon if you want to know more we will train and then i will tell you about your past and your mother, you want to know do you not, Akumi nodded, dragon replied saying," good now drink your tea and let's go we're going to a place called the dark continent" shido extended his hand in offer for Akumi and Haruto to be his students Akumi shook Dragons hand and Haruto gave him his paw Dragon nodded his head and with his scraggly voice he yelled, " change now " suddenly the room had whirled into a spiral and it had turned into a classroom and Dragon was wearing a scholar's cap Akumi asked where are we and why are you wearing that Dragon replied, " this is the classroom where you will learn everything you need to know about survival your powers and how to fight- Akumi interrupted, " my powers what do you mean my powers i may be a demon but i don't have powers " Dragon pulled down a screen and said, " roll the film " it showed Akumi fighting off the creatures that had attacked midoku, " on to the next one" shido said it showed Haruto protecting Hideki and Akumi from monsters Akumi looked baffled, Haruto and Akumi turned and looked at each other, " now that we are off of that we will take roll is there a Daiki Akumi here say present " Akumi answered unsurely of himself with a low, "present" Dragon checked him off and started up again saying, "ok next is there a Daiki Haruto here " Haruto barked after that Dragon spent 2 hours telling them about what the dark continent was and how they would be training Dragon changed the room again and tested their physical abilities after he was done he said, " ok now that we've done that let's go Akumi tried to get the words wait go wh- but Dragon had already said, "change now" the group appeared in a jungle and Dragon was nowhere to be found suddenly a booming and echoing voice came from the skies saying, "this is where you will stay for the next 4 years since this room is outside of space and time we could stay here for a month and time would have only progressed into a couple of days now hold out your hands" from the sky a 4 leg bracelets appeared, Dragon said,“these are for Haruto put them on they will amplify his abilities and yours as long as both of you are alive, also make a shelter quickly it changes from day to night every 30 minutes and make a fire that is all i will tell you wait no i forgot to tell you that everything is bigger on this island so that means that there are giant monsters here, and if you try and cut down certain trees they will attack you and watch out for boomshrooms they are like little land mines".
