Chapter 007

Overcoming Dangerous Challenges

At the same time The Phoenix comes down racing towards Dai as it tries to use it's talons to push Dai into the lava but Dai punches clashing with it's talons as he says

"I'm not done yet!" Dai clashes with The Phoenix's talons as he's slowly being pushed back into the lava and he's *nervous* as he slowly being pushed into the lava and Dai thinks

"Damn, I have to push this thing back before I burn to death!" Dai catches both of The Phoenix's talons as its fire burns his hands and Dai leans up as he tries to punch The Phoenix but The Phoenix opens it's mouth and Dai is *shocked* as The Phoenix blast Dai in the chest with a wave of fire pressing his back against the lava and Dai *screams in pain* as he reaches up with one hand and slowly closes The Phoenix's mouth as he *screams in anger* and leans up as he punches The Phoenix in the side of it's body sending it crashing into the wall creating a small opening and Dai looks at his as it's burn but he *clenches his fist in anger* as he jumps over to the wall and walks into the small opening as he stands over The Phoenix and he says

"Is this truly all a god has to offer!? After years of looking down on everyone else, it truly must hurt for you to be looked down on by a child!" Dai starts quickly punching The Phoenix as he *screams in anger* as the fire continually burns his hands until Dai clasps his hands together and slams them down on The Phoenix’s chest and The Phoenix's wings fall to the ground as it slowly fades into ash and Dai tries to turn away but he notices The Phoenix's fire starts spinning in a circle as it flows towards him and Dai is *shocked* as the fire quickly starts circling around him and Dai slowly puts his hand up as the fire slowly flows into his hand and Dai notices The Phoenix turning to ash as Dai absorbs more of its fire until The Phoenix is a pile of ash and Dai feels the fire flowing through his body and Dai slowly raises his hand as he notices all of his burns are healed and Dai clenches his fist as fire wraps around it and he says

“This feels…Amazing, now time to kick Sensei’s ass!” Dai walks to the edge of the hole as he leans out and grabs onto the wall as he quickly starts climbing up and Dai looks up as he sees the top of the volcano and he thinks

"I'm already about halfway up, it should take another two minutes!" Dai continues climbing until suddenly a powerful and louder screech shakes the entire volcano and Dai looks down and sees The Phoenix destroys the wall as it flies out and looks up towards him and Dai is *shocked* as he thinks

"Didn't I just kill you!? Did you get bigger!?" The Phoenix flies into the air towards Dai and Dai punches his fist into the wall as The Phoenix flies past him with such force Dai is dragged downward as he kicks both of his feet into the wall. As The Phoenix turns around and fires a wave of fire out of it’s mouth at Dai and Dai jumps off of the wall avoiding The Phoenix's blast as Dai draws out the fire with in him and shoots fire out of his hand as The Phoenix fires another blast from it's mouth and as they clash, Dai screams and starts to push The Phoenix's blast back until The Phoenix opens it's mouth strengthening it's blast and it's launches Dai back as it burns Dai sending him slamming into the lava and Dai tries to move his body but he can't as he slowly sinks into the lava

At the same time Riku is looking up at Fujin, and he rolls on his stomach and pushes himself up onto his feet and as he gets to his feet, he looks back into the air at Fujin until Fujin jumps down and lands right in front of Riku and as there face to face Fujin, Fujin tries to punch Riku and he dodges but suddenly a clone of Fujin appears behind Fujin made out of wind and it hits Riku and sends him into the tornado and the tornado is so fast it severely cuts Riku’s back up as he falls on the ground and Riku struggles to get up as he he thinks

“I have too focus!” Riku gets a flashback of Kingsman saying

“All of you have to training these elements to absorb the elemental powers fusing part of your self with your power to make sure your not damaged by your own power too much” Riku stands up and slows his breathing as Fujin tries to punch Riku and he dodges and Fujin's wind clone reappears and tries to punch Riku as well but Riku puts his hand up and catches the fist of the wind clone as Riku absorbs half of the clone until Fujin jumps back into the air and Fujin starts firing compressed wind shoots from his mouth but Riku closes his eyes and puts his hand in the air and all of them stops in the air with his wind Fujin is *shocked* but Fujin screams sends out an extremely powerful shockwave launching his compressed wind shots forward and Riku jumps out of the way but there moving at such speed Riku is hit in the leg with three of them and Riku drops to the ground and he *screams out in pain*

At the same time Itsuki is on his back and he’s just looking up at Raijin whose standing over him and he slowly stands up and he rushes Raijin and tries to punch him but Raijin dodges his punch and steps back and Itsuki starts chasing Raijin violently swinging at him, but he dodges every punch thrown by Itsuki until Raijin shocks Itsuki making him fall too his knees, and he struggles to stand up because of the lightning and Itsuki punches the ground as he slowly gets up and tries to punch Raijin but he falls too the ground and he doesn’t move and Raijin calls down lightning and it strikes his hand and he grabs it and he pulls the lightning apart making a sword out of it and he tries to stabs Itsuki but Itsuki dodges it and Itsuki uppercuts Raijin as he punches him in the stomach twice and hits him across the face with a right hook and it makes Raijin stumble back and Raijin drops too one knee as he drops the sword and Itsuki rushes up and kicks Raijin in his face making him fall back and Itsuki grabs the lightning blade but as he does the lightning surges across his body causing him to *scream in pain* and it starts to surge violently and Itsuki falls down to his knees as Raijin slowly gets back to his feet and he grabs the sword but he can't take it from Itsuki as Itsuki looks into his eyes and Raijin jumps back as Itsuki starts violenlty swinging towards him even as the lightning still surging across his body but Raijin jumps back in the air onto his cloud and Itsuki starts trying to control his breathing and he starts to draw some power from the blade infusing the lightning with himself as the sword changes from a golden yellow to a light blue and all of the lightning stops surging around him and Itsuki and Raijin lock eyes but Raijin *smiles*

At the same time Kenji is behind an ice pillar that's being melted but when it gets lower Kenji stands up and punches the melted pillar launching it at Kuraokami making him stop firing his frozen blast and dodge the pillar as Kenji rushes him and hits him twice in the body but it has no effect on him and Kuraokami tries to blast him again but Kenji dodges it and Kenji grabs the broken ice pillar piece and his hand instantly starts to freeze but Kenji hits Kuraokami across the face with it making Kuraokami glide back as Kenji runs to a wall and punches his hands into it and hold them for a few seconds as he *screams in pain* and as he pulls his hands out he rushes over to Kuraokami's fire still on the ice and pushes his hands into it as he rushes Kuraokami and punches him in the body making Kuraokami glide back as Kenji starts hitting Kuraokami with a burrage of punches across it's entire body until Kuraokami drops to the floor and Kenji puts his hand up towards Kuraokami's head but the ice on Kenji's hand melt as the fire starts burning Kenji's hand and he *screams in pain* as he jumps back and punches his hand into the ground putting out the flames but as he pulls his hand out there so cold he can't bend a finger as he sees Kuraokami floating off of the ground and Kenji tries to rush Kuraokami but Kuraokami breathes out a gust of icy breath covering the entire half of the cavern in ice and encasing Kenji in it

At the same time Dai opens his eye before fully sinks into the lava he grabs the lava and starts to absorb the heat off of the lava and the lava underneath him hardens and Dai stands up and his fire is surging out of control and he slowly lifts his hand in the air firing a large wave of fire at The Phoenix and The Phoenix fires another blast back but The Phoenix is immediately overpowered and Dai’s fire destroys half of The Phoenix’s body and The Phoenix falls towards the lava but Dai catches him and starts hitting it with a barrage of punches and with every hit Dai absorbs more of his fire but right before The Phoenix burns out Dai pulls The Phoenix close and Dai’s fire starts surging all over The Phoenix and as Dai starts to absorb it fully he says

“This time you're never coming back!” Dai fully absorbs The Phoenix but he falls to the ground exhausted, and he slowly gets up and looks up as he thinks

“After all of that...I still have so far to go” Dai slowly walks over to the wall and slowly starts to climb up

At the same time Riku looks at his leg and sees the wounds as he thinks

"Damn, I can't keep this up much longer" Riku absorbs some wind from the tornado slowing it down and Riku uses his wind to push him off of the ground back on to his feet and Fujin creates tornados around his hands like gauntlets as he jumps down attempting to slam down on Riku but Riku dodges and Riku uses his wind too smash Fujin’s head into the ground but Fujin slams his fist on the ground shattering the ground beneath them and Fujin stands up and rushes Riku but as Riku puts his hand up Fujin uses his wind to control the debris on the ground and hits Riku in the stomach with a large piece of the debris and it launches Riku back and Riku is about to hit the tornado but he uses his wind to stop himself and Fujin tries to hit Riku but Riku uses his wind to stop his punch but Riku kicks Fujin in the stomach him slide back and Riku *laughs* as he says

“Are you supposed to be a god? What a disappointment!” Fujin gets *angry * as he rushes Riku and tries to punch him multiple times but Riku stops all of his punches with his wind as Fujin throws another punch Riku stops his punch with his wind but Riku instantly drops his wind and ducks Fujin’s punch making Fujin punch into the tornado and Fujin *screams in pain* as his hand is ripped and Fujin tries to pull his arm away but Riku pushes his wind into the tornado causing the tornado to spin so violently taking Fujin’s arm off and Fujin falls to the ground as he *screams in pain* but Riku absorbs the wind from the tornado slowing it down as he launches Fujin into the air with his wind and Riku pushes out so much of his wind the tornado spins faster than ever before keeping Fujin stuck in the air and Fujin’s arms and legs start to pull apart but Riku absorbs the wind back stopping all the movement from the tornado and the winds starts surging all around Riku and his eyes turn white and Fujin starts falling down until Riku pushes so much wind out it destroys the ground underneath him sending Fujin out of the atmosphere and then the wind around Riku calms and Riku’s eyes go back to there bright green color and Riku falls on his back and the tornado slowly starts spinning again and Riku *sheds a tear* but then he starts *laughing*

At the same time Itsuki jumps in the air and slashes towards Raijin and Raijin jumps down at him and throws a punch and they clash but Raijin overpowers Itsuki sending him crashing into the ground and Raijin comes down trying to punch him but as Raijin's inches from landing on Itsuki, Raijin's suddenly hit with lightning on it's back and Itsuki rolls back dodging Raijin's strike and Itsuki stands up as he puts his hand into the air and calls down lightning right on top of his hand and Itsuki disappears as another strike of lightning comes down hitting Raijin on the back but Itsuki is inside of the lightning as he stabs Raijin through his back and Raijin *screams out in pain* and starts violently jerking around attempting to throw Itsuki off his back but he can’t until Itsuki twist the blade and pulls it up through his shoulder and Raijin screams even louder causing a giant shockwave of lightning throwing Itsuki into the dark clouds and Raijin falls to the ground unable to move his arm but as he looks up seeing dark gray eyes slowly circling him but as they cirlce him the darkness drains from the clouds leaving them white absorbing all the lightning out of the clouds as Itsuki's voice echos through the clouds as he says

“What’s wrong?...Scarred!” Raijin crawls back in *shock* and Raijin slowly tries to get up but Raijin falls back to the ground and Raijin tries to use his lightning but can't and Raijin looks *confused* as Itsuki's voice echoes around as he says

“What!?...Can’t use your lightning, I think I know why” As suddenly lightning shocks Raijin from behind him causing Raijin to *scream in pain* and Itsuki says

“Lets see how tough you really are!” Raijin gets to his feet and opens his mouth but suddenly a slash appears across Raijin's chest and Raijin is *stunned* as suddenly Raijin's being cut all over his body until Raijin falls on his back bloody and weak and Raijin spits up blood but as he looks up he sees Itsuki is above him standing on it's cloud but Itsuki says

“I guess you weren't that tough after all!” Itsuki jumps down and stabs him in the chest causing a massive explosion of lightning and Itsuki is thrown extremely high into the air and he hits the ground hard but rolls on his back and *smiles* even as he struggling to move

At the same time Kenji can’t move as Kuraokami shoots through the ice with small crystal like shards, they hit Kenji in his chest and his arms, Kenji tries to *scream in pain* but he’s frozen solid but he locks eyes with Kuraokami, as Kuraokami charges a fireball but as he’s about to fire it at Kenji he starts to absorb the ice around him and Kuraokami fires the blast and it starts to melt the ice but as its inches from hitting Kenji's face, Kenji screams and sends ice shards out in every direction but it doesn’t impale Kuraokami and the ice shards miss from impaling him but slash Kuraokami all over his body, Kenji starts moving and walking slowly towards Kuraokami while in the ice and when he makes it out of the ice Kuraokami tries to fire another blast but as Kenji walks he creates a giant ice wall and blocks the attack but Kenji walks through the ice wall he made and Kenji creates an ice sword on his hand, and he stabs Kuraokami with it pinning him to the wall and Kuraokami tries to fires another blast directly in the face of Kenji but Kenji puts his hand up and closes Kuraokami mouth and freezes his entire mouth and he’s just staring into the eyes of Kuraokami and then Kenji creates an ice gauntlet and uppercuts Kuraokami destroying the ice on Kuraokami’s mouth sending the fire in his mouth upward toward the ceiling burning it and making some of the ceiling start to melt and then Kenji takes the sword out of Kuraokami and turns it into another gauntlet and he starts punching Kuraokami with another barrage of punches all over Kuraokami’s body and its so fast that Kuraokami is stuck to the wall with every hit he’s pushed deeper into the wall and Kenji walks away but Kuraokami pulls his head off of the wall and Kuraokami tries to fire another attack but Kenji catches a drop of water from the ceiling and turns it into ice spears and throws it next to Kuraokami face and Kuraokami is *shocked* and Kenji goes back to the bottom of the hole and looks up at the sky and before he can do anything else Kuraokami fires another blast but Kenji dodges it easily and Kenji says

“You still don't learn, i’m not trying to hurt you but you won’t stop” Kenji takes a step towards him, but then he gets hit in the back with a giant fire blast in his back sending him slamming into the wall hard and when Kenji looks up he sees a bigger Kuraokami and Kenji is *shocked* says

“How did?... Damn it!” Kuraokami blast a giant flame blast and Kenji fires a ice blast of his own stopping Kuraokami’s fire but Kenji starts getting pushed back and Kenji is pushed against a wall and Kuraokami is moving closer and Kenji notices the drops of water coming from the ceiling and Kenji breathes out a gust of wind turning all of the water that's dripping into ice shards, and all of them fall stabing Kuraokami all over his body and for a second Kuraokami’s fire slows down and Kenji takes advantage of it and overpowers Kuraokami and freezing everything and even freezing Kuraokami in his place and Kenji falls too his *knees in pain* pushing out that much power but when he looks up he sees Kuraokami using his fire to let him move and Kenji stands up as he punches the ice on the ground and he uses all the shards of Ice and turns them into swords and Kenji picks them up and dashes all around Kuraokami stabbing the sword through the ice impaling Kuraokami.

At the same time Dai slowly makes it to the top of the volcano, and he drags himself overtop of it, and he sees he’s in a wasteland of absolute nothing but fire,smoke,and lave but Dai feels a presence behind him, and he turns around and sees a Phoenix the size of a titan compared too him and he feels like an ant and Dai is *shocked* and starts shaking as he thinks

“W-W-What are you?... No I won't be scared,I can’t, not again! I refuse to be afraid, not this time!” but Dai *smiles* as he says

“Lets go you big bastard!” Dai starts running towards the Phoenix but the Phoenix flaps its wings at Dai, but with so much force it sends Dai flying back and it even knocks Dai out

At the same time Kingsman and Akita are standing in the backyard near where Kingsman opened the portals and Akita says

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

“They have been gone for two week, Kingsman are you sure there ok?” Kingsman says

“No, they knew the risk going in all of them could be dead” Akita is *shocked* and Kingsman says

“But they are my students, I expect them to come back perfectly fine” Akita says

“I just hope–” Kingsman says

“Move!” Kingsman jumps in front of her as a portal opens and Dai is launched from it and Kingsman catches him and turns around as he looks at Akita and says

“See, Dai’s back” Akita says

“Oh my, is he ok?” Kingsman says

“He’s still breathing, he’s fine” Kingsman walks over in the middle of the yard with Dai on his shoulder and Kingsman sits down on the ground and sticks his hand in the ground and then he rips a big chunk out of the ground and says

“This I’ll do” Kingsman freezes the bottom and the sides of the hole, and then he fills the hole with water and puts Dai in it then he sets his hands on fire and sticks it in the pool and heats it up and Kingsman says

“Now we have some place to put them when they all get back” Akita says

“Good, I'm sure they’ll be hungry and tired” Kingsman says

“Maybe, if there even strong enough to move” Kingsman *laughs* but Akita says

“Please don't say that, they’ll be fine I know they will” Kingsman says

“I told you relax, their fine”

At the same time Riku flies up and lands at the top of his tornado but as he lands, he realizes he’s in an even bigger tornado than before, and he can barely see the walls of the tornado because of how massive it is and Riku turns around and looks, and he sees Fujin, but he is a titan making Riku feels like he’s nothing in comparison and Riku *weakly* says

“When Sensei said he created the gods of our elements he meant it” But as Fujin looks down at Riku and they lock eyes as Riku start to back up and Fujin opens his mouth but a hand grabs Riku by the back of his neck and pulls him backwards and Riku’s *scared* by it as he looks around but he notices Kingsman holding him by his collar as Akita says

“Look another one made it...And Its your favorite, Riku” Kingsman walks over to the pool and puts Riku in it and Riku *weakly* says

“Sensei?…Was I supposed to fight that giant?” Kingsman says

“No you can’t beat the gods, but eventually you’ll have to go back and you can ask them to grant you strength and if they see enough courage and power in your heart you just might be granted that strength, but if they don't or they feel as if you have failed them and you already posses there power they will curse the power you hold from them. It will kill your body, but it will make you extremely physically strong and fast but even the smallest hit can kill you. But I gave you a direct line to them, usually you would have to be in the element for years to show your dedication and loyalty to them to truly obtain the elemental power. But I put you all in the domain of the gods to make it an easier process”

At the same time Kenji just pulls himself up and looks at the frozen wasteland he is in, and he turns around and looks at a titan sized Kuraokami, but he *weakly* says

“Another one, fine then lets get this over with!” Kenji starts walking towards Kuraokami but Kuraokami blows an extremely powerful breath at Kenji freezing him and pushing him back and Kingsman is still in the backyard talking with Akita, and he says

“The other two will be back soon enough” But Kingsman *sighs* as he says

“Duck” Akita immediately ducks as Kenji flies over her head but Kingsman grabs Kenji's leg before he could crash into anything and Kingsman says

“See, here’s the boy” Akita stands up and says

“Kenji, are you ok?” Kingsman says

“Here take him to the pool with the rest of them please” Kingsman hands Kenji to Akita, and she almost falls when Kingsman lets go of Kenji but while she's taking him towards the pool Kingsman is thinking

“Now, where are you Itsuki?”

At the same time Itsuki is at the top and looking into the surrounding clouds, and he looks at Raijin and is stunned for a second and before Itsuki could do anything Raijin speaks with a deep echoing voice says

“You are strong…You have my gratitude for a good fight. So take this!” Raijin flicks his finger creating a giant lightning bolt and as it flies at Itsuki it shrinks down and it lands at his feet and Itsuki is amazed by the beauty of the lightning sword and as he touches it his blue lightning surges all over it but as Itsuki clenches his hand it disappears in his hands and he can feel it infuse with in him and Itsuki thinks

“So father, this is what you meant when you said my life would be harder if this is a challenge ill beat him I promise” Itsuki screams

“FIGHT ME!” Raijin *laughs* as he says

“True warrior spirit, good! But you can not fight me, now away with you” Raijin raises his hand and swats the air sending Itsuki flying

At the same time Kingsman grabs his head *in frustration* and says

“Oh my god, will you all just STOP!” Itsuki flies through the portal and Kingsman punches him into the air in *anger* and Akita sees Kingsman do this, and she says

“Kingsman,why would you do that!? They have been through enough pain already!” Kingsman says

“We’re warriors!” Akita says

“I already don't like you guys hurting and killing people, please don't punish them like that” She's on the *verge of tears* and looks Kingsman in his eyes as she says

“Please don't!” But Kingsman walks past her without responding and the *tears* starts falling from her eyes and Kingsman starts walking away but he stops and catches Itsuki as he puts him in the pool and walks back over too Akita and says

“Fine… Just stop crying” Kingsman wipes the tear off Akita's cheek as he puts his arm over her and walks her over to the pool and says

“You have nothing to worry or stress about any more there all back and safe, now go to sleep. We're not training today” Akita *smiles* as she says

“Really!” She hugs Kingsman and Kingsman says

“That’s a lot of touching! But we probably wouldn’t be able to anyways, none of them can really move so let's go take a nap” Akita says

“What about them? What if something comes up and attacks them?” Kingsman opens the door and says

“Tadashi come!” Tadashi walks over to him and Kingsman says

“Protect them, don't let anything touch them. See now they have protection” Kingsman walks Akita in the house and upstairs and Riku slowly puts his head up and *weakly* says

“Look we all made it!” But then his head falls back and everyone starts *laughing* but Itsuki *weakly* says

“It hurts to laugh!” Dai *weakly* says

“I won!” Riku *weakly* says

“I’m second!” Itsuki *weakly* says

“Did I lose?” Kenji *weakly* says

“Yeah your last, I got here third” Itsuki *weakly* says

“Lets go again then, I want to have a rematch right now! Let's go” Itsuki jerks his body forward but he falls back down and nobody else moves as Itsuki *weakly* says

“I win!” Riku *chuckles* as he *weakly* says

“We didn’t even race” Dai *weakly* says

“Lets go now then” Dai and Itsuki slowly start moving and are barely even able to pull themselves out of the pool, Kenji and Riku look up at them both and Riku *weakly* says

“Dai, go!” Kenji *weakly* says

“Itsuki, run!” Dai *weakly* says

“We go to that tree” Itsuki *weakly* says

“Fine” Dai *weakly* says

“3,2,1 GO!” Dai and Itsuki slowly start to move and Dai barely takes a step but he falls on the ground as Itsuki still going very slowly and Riku *weakly* says

“Get up Dai, hurry up don't lose” Dai slowly gets back to his feet and jumps on Itsuki back making him fall as he hit the ground and Kenji *weakly* says

“You cheating bastard, Itsuki don't let this slow you down, beat him!” Dai makes it too his feet, and he moves one foot but Itsuki grabs his ankle and Dai can’t shake him off because of how weak he is and Dai just starts dragging him and as he gets closer to the tree Itsuki grabs his other ankle causing Dai to fall on his face as Itsuki climbs over Dai and crawls to the tree but before he gets to it Dai grabs his legs and pulls him back making Itsuki misses touching the tree by a few inches and Dai crawls over him and Itsuki pushes him off and they both start reaching for the tree and Riku *weakly* says

“Go Dai!” Kenji *weakly* says

“Go Itsuki!” But before either one of them touches the tree Tadashi comes and lays on both of them and Itsuki and Dai both *screams in pain* and Tadashi starts to roll around on them but he stands up and drags Dai back to the pool by his foot and Dai while still being drug away, *weakly* says

“Let go of me you dirty bag of fur” Itsuki takes advantage and grabs the tree and Tadashi drops Dai in the pool and Kenji is *weakly* cheering and Riku *weakly* says

“No that doesn’t count!” But while Tadashi is walking back over too Itsuki and he senses something in the forest and starts growling as out of nowhere one of the Forest Demons walk out of the forest and everyone goes silent but Tadashi growls at The Demon and it rushes Tadashi and it's swinging at him but Tadashi dodges every strike and counters with paw swipes but it bounces off of The Demon's chest and Tadashi roars at The Demon sending him flying back into the forest holding his ears in *pain* and Tadashi walks over to The Demon as he roars again and The Demon falls too his knees and Tadashi hits the demon with a flaming roar shot putting a hole in it and sending it flying deeper into the forest and Tadashi walks over too Itsuki and grabs his foot and drags him back to the pool and drops him in as Dai *weakly* says

“Well you might be stronger than I thought you bag of fur” Kenji *weakly* says

“Wow Tadashi is strong enough to beat those things” Itsuki *weakly* says

“Thank you Tadashi, you saved us” Riku *weakly* says

“He might have beat one, but don’t forget there are hundreds of them” Itsuki *weakly* says

“Riku’s right well be surrounded if we take too long and make too much noise lets go” They all slowly start to get up and climb out of the pool and slowly makes their way into the house and Dai is the last one in and as Tadashi comes through the door and Dai looks into the forest as he's closing the door and sees hundreds of eyes staring back at him and he closes the door but as he turns around he sees Riku, Itsuki, and Kenji are all passed out on the floor sleeping and Dai *weakly* says

“You weak bastards, can’t keep your bodies awake and strong” As he makes his way towards the stairs he has to step over Riku and Itsuki but when he steps over Itsuki he trips and falls passing out

The next morning Hana comes downstairs and sees everyone passed out on the floor, and she looks at Riku, Itsuki, and Dai all passed out on the floor and Kenji is laying on the table and Hana starts poking Riku and says

“Are you ok?” But he doesn’t move and she walks over and pokes Itsuki as he says

“Excuse me?” But Itsuki's also unresponsive and she pokes and shakes Dai as she says

“Wake up please!” She walks over too Kenji and starts poking and pushing him saying

“Brother get up, brothe–” But as Hana is pushing Kenji he falls off the table and he still doesn't move, and she screams and Kingsman rushes downstairs as he says

“What happened Little one?” Hana runs over and hugs Kingsman's legs in *fear* and says

“They're all dead daddy!” Kingsman *chuckles* as he says

“No, don’t worry they're just tired. You have to remember they have been gone for two weeks and this is the first time they’ve gotten some sleep'' Hana says

“Oh, but where did they go when they went through those things?” Kingsman says

“They went to train, and make themselves stronger, and now they get to test out their abilities against each other. Would you like to watch them do it?” Hana says

“Yeah I hope brother wins” Kingsman says

“Ok, then we will have to wake them up” Hana says

“How do we wake them up?” Kingsman says

“How do you wanna wake them up? You wanna pour water on them?” Hana says

“Yes” Kingsman says

“Well have to get them outside first then, lets go I'll pick up Riku, Itsuki, and Dai, you get your brother ok?” Hana *smilies* and says

“Ok” Kingsman picks up Riku and Itsuki and throws Dai over his shoulder and takes them outside and sits them all down and Hana is struggling to pick up Kenji’s legs but she ends up getting both of his legs and she slowly drags him to the door but as she’s dragging him at such an angle they can’t get through the door and she falls down tired as she says

“Father, I need help!” Kingsman walks over and grabs Kenji’s leg lifting him over Hana’s head and walks and puts him with the rest of the team and he walks back over too Hana and picks her up and puts her on his shoulder and creates a force field around them and he says

“Now Little one put your hand out” They both put their hands out, and he says

“Now snap” As they snap the force field files up with water to the very top and Kenji is floating on the left side and Dai is floating onto the right and Itsuki is in the middle and Riku is on the ground and Kenji wakes up in *shock* and starts to freeze all the water but then Dai wakes up in *shock* as well, and he starts evaporating the water with his heat, but they start to clash without knowing it and then Riku wakes up and pushes the water off of him creating an air bubble at the bottom of the force field and as Dai and Kenji are clashing Itsuki is in the middle, but he wakes up and electrifies the entire force field and all of the water and Kenji and Dai are electrified but Kenji freezes the water around him protecting himself from Itsuki’s lightning and Riku is watching and then Kingsman says

“Very interesting!” Hana is just *laughing* and Kingsman puts his hand up and drops the force field from the top down and he condenses all the water to a singular drop as he says

“Good morning everyone, it’s time for training” Kenji and Riku stands up but Dai and Itsuki are *coughing up water* as they stand up and Riku is stretching and cracks his neck and says

“I feel a lot better than I did last night, I thought i'd be sleeping for a month straight. But what's the training for the day?” Kingsman says

“You're elements should have healed your body up to some extent, but I wouldn't advise you over do it today. You're all going to have a free for all using your abilities against each other, to test your control and it gives me and the Little one some entertainment” Dai says

“No problem Sensei, I'll take all of them out quickly” Itsuki says

“I guess now’s the time Kenji you and me right now” Kenji says

“Fine then, let’s go” Dai says

“I guess that leaves you and me Riku” Riku says

“Sensei I don't want to hurt Dai, can I not participate?” Kingsman says

“Well–” Dai *laughs* and says

“Hurt me! You could never hurt me, let’s see about that right now” Kingsman says

“You don’t have to hit him, and plus you very smart Riku I know you’ll figure something out about how to win” Riku says

“All right fine then Sensei, let’s go Dai, lets hope you don’t get hurt” Dai says

“You talk like there's a chance you will win" Riku and Dai go into the clearing in the tree’s and Dai covers his hands with his fire, and then he says

“Are you ready Riku?” Riku *sighs* and says

“Fine Dai, let’s go”
