Ch:58 – Magi the Labyrinth of Magic Intermission – 5
Seeing that I was the last one done I went over to the others to see how they did, surprisingly like me Jade told them not to say anything about what they got. Apparently Jade wanted us to do some training ageist unknown enemy's, AKA we will have a couple of one on one fights first where we don't know what the other can do. We were not even allowed to say what our opponent can do to one-another.
Jade lead everyone to her room, passing through all of it she leads us to her basement, all of our jaws dropped to the floor. May and I had a training room, Reaper had a engineers room. Jade had an island, it was massive and divided into 4 different areas.
The first was a flat desert, sand dunes, quicksand and blistering heat. The second was a frozen wasteland, ice and snow covered everything. Besides towering mountains of ice the only other thing in it was wind's so cold it was like being cut by a blade. The thread was a vast rain forest, hummed air, tall trees and vines all over the place. The last was a modern city, tall buildings streets and all.
Jade:''All of you are wondering why I brought you here, on top of that wondering why I stopped you from sharing your upgrades right?''
We all said yes.
Jade:''The reason for both is the same since we will end up in team battles and we will not know our opponent's powers we are here to train. Today we will train by our self's to master any new skill's, power's or weapons we picked. You can train here or in your room. Tomorrow we will all fight one battle, then after that one more. I will tell you about that one later, Jess you will not need to fight. You will watch all the fights, I will tell you why later.''
Jade then took Jess and headed to the city, the others started to go there own way's to train. I was about to head the frozen wasteland when Reaper stopped me.
Reaper:''Can I borrow your Lawgiver ll?''
I didn't know why he wanted to borrow it but I didn't mind. Giving him a reminder not to try and use it I hand it to him. After taking it from me he left Jade's basement to heat to his place. Looking around I see that everyone has moved on I head over to the frozen wasteland.
Chris:''It really is cold here.''
Cold didn't even do this place justices, even with my stats and close I'm still cold. It wasn't at the point I was unable to Handel, but still. Sighing to myself I got started on my training. First thing I did was try out the Vajra Asura form. My eye instantly turns white, then my arm's got covered by golden armor going from the tips of my fingers all the way to my back shoulder bones.
BOOM!!
Throwing my fist out I sent a Mantra Blast into one of the towers of ice after the snow faded I could see a fist-sized hole. Smiling I throw another one, only this time I charge it up for a bit.
BANG!!
The tower of ice crumbled down, only a couple of seconds of changing was enough to bring the tower down. Seeing the power made me wonder why it was only a rank C skill. Feeling happy with my new skill I try something new, I make my arms dragon form. Still covered in golden armor my arms now took on there dragon form, golden scales, elbow spikes and nails. The strength in my arms felt like it had dubbed, I had a smile on my face for only a moment, then it distorted into pain.
In my body, I felt the Draconic energy in my heat move to the Mantra energy in my navel when the two energy's touched it sent a wave of pain through my whole body. Throwing up blood I fall over on my side as I shack in pain. In my body I feel the Draconic energy trying to devouter the Mantra energy, they were like to animals. One angry that an intruder was in its mist, the other angry something dared to challenge it.
Tama pov
Reaper:''I need to thank you for all your help, if I'm right we will be able to increase our team's strength and the chance of servile greatly.''

At the moment Reaper was looking at a Desert Eagle and Chris's Lawgiver, he was inspecting them and trying to do something to another gun. Tama was standing behind him, trying to explain things to him.
Tama:''No need to thank Tama, Tama's glad to hel...MASTER!''
Through the master-servant link, Tama was able to feel the pain Chris was in, yelling she tried to run to him but was stopped by the blast door in Reaper's basement.
Tama:'' MASTER IN TROUBLE! I NEED TO GET TO HIM!''
Reaper:''WHAT!!!''
Unlocking the door, Tama and Reaper ran as fast as they could. When they fawned Chris there was a puddle of blood by him, his eye's where bloodshot and he was shaking all over. Tama ran over, putting her hand on Chris's heart it started to glow a watery blue.
Tama:''THE TWO ENERGY'S IN HIS BODY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY EACH OTHER! MASTER, YOU NEED TO CONTROL THEM! IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL DIE!''
Chris pov
Tama:''...YOU WILL DIE!''
I herd what Tama said, but it was so hard to do. All I could feel was the pain, not even unlocking the second stage matched it. Closing my eye's I try to work through the pain. As I felt my life in danger I tried to force myself to go into the first stage, it worked. Using the control the first stage gave me I looked into my body, where I could see the two energy's fighting. Getting a feel for them I could tell it was the Draconic energy picking the fight, it wanted to remove the Mantra energy, but the Mantra energy refused to move. Surprisingly both were either ignoring or approved of the mana in my body.
As the two energy's in my body where fighting my mana was holding it together, trying to heal it. I could tell if not for my mana I would have died before Tama got to me. With the help of the first stage I was able to slowly pull my Draconic energy back into my heart, the whole time it would fight me but surprisingly my Mantra energy didn't. As soon as it was left alone it quieted down.
It took 10 hours to force the energy back into my heart when I opened my eye's Tama, Jade Sakura and May were siting next to me. After making sure I was ok Jade told me that the fight was moved to the day after tomorrow so I could rest and still train. Thanking her and the others I head to my room to get some sleep, I could tell they wanted to come with me but they were able to restrain themselves' and go back to training.
Going back to my room only Tama was still with me, as soon as I closed the door she jumped into my arms and started to cry. She kept yelling at me that she would stay by my side whenever I train from now on, then she kissed me. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep that night.
The next morning Tama was very happy with herself but when it was time to go train she would stay in spirit form whenever the other girls where around, I had to say it was cute. Going back to training I only took a moment to master all my Asura forms' and skills, you could say like Asura himself they were simple and straightforward. Pandora on the other had was hard, no worse then hard it was nearly impossible. I was able to use all 13 forms but I still have yet to master it, after seeing how hard the 13 forms here I now understood why the stage 2 and 3 Pandora had lower ratings. The 13 forms where.
Form 1 – Bow and energy arrow, the arrow has auto tracking so it's good for sniping and running enemies. The arrows are also strong enough to pierce through walls.
Form 2 – One armed Gatling gun, with a fast firing speed and perfect accuracy. The bullets it fires are explosive, not strong enough to blow an arm off but strong enough to triple the damage.
Form 3 – Shield, instead of being for blocking, it's ability is a light it shine's. Besides blinding the opponent I also purifies what it touches.
Form 4 – Bazooka the size of half a man, as big as a barrel, it can shout 4 shots at the same time. Can only move in a straight line and needs 5 seconds before it can re-fire.
Form 5 – Giant energy cannon, being the size of a beetle(car) it takes 5 seconds to change. On top of that, it takes 5 minutes to be able to re-fire.
Form 6 – Giant shuriken, the size of a pizza tray. Spins at high speed and always returns.
Form 7 – Turret, circled by 12 cannon's that fire homing missiles at targets.
Form 8 – Giant hammer, a height of 4'3'' and the hammer head as big as half a full grown man, the hammers head looks like it is mad from the skull of a giant(Think Wuchtblick from MH4 but black and yellow). Can increases and decreases the size and weight at will.
Form 9 – Spear, long and black with circuit looking lines with yellow energy moving through them. Spearhead is yellow and can be changed to any shape at will, can extend without end.
Form 10 – Giant two-handed battle axe, has a rocket on it's back to launch it forward into a target.
Form 11 – Twin daggers, glow with a yellow light and can cut through anything.
Form 12 – Air shotgun, mid-range weapon. At the greatest dissent's can puck a target back, the closer the target the more damage can be consed ranging from brooking bones to ruptured organs. At close quarters can even blow a target apart.
Form 13 – Air sniper rifle, can see and hit any target up to 1,500 yds.
The power and forms of Pandora were beyond my expectations, knowing that I only had a little more time left before the sparing I got down to as much training as I could.
