The History behind
the tragedy.
"Long lost relatives lay close in our hearts, whether alive or gone. We never know the day we are bound to reunite with them. But are we to consider those who have never impacted our lives as blood when they plea? That is a decision made to be answered…One...after the...other…"
Prologue
"Two thousand years ago, war was inevitable. Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Energy. That was all people saw past them with just a small glare. Humans, Aliens, and the "Power-driven People" were up and about nonstop. You woke up and then died. That was the life of the past.
Years later, the elements split into different clans. Nakamorian(Fire), Native(Ice), Cassoule(Earth), Aoi(Wind), Motsubi(Lightning) and Yakuza(Energy). As each clan individually united, they built nations that grew as one. But, one warrior, responsible for the jointure of all species, was the Best 'Human' to live.
However, the aliens saw him as a threat and, as a result, summoned war on all the clans. The humans both had malevolent associations for eighteen years but lost their city and the Best Human. The aliens dominated and ruled over the humans; nevertheless, the Power-driven were exiled to duel among these associations.
Some lived, and some died. Some started to live among the humans. And these power-driven people were known as… "RONINS!"
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”
A scream suddenly arose as if he experienced a horrid nightmare.
"Dammit, the same dream again, and the same ending. What does it all mean?"
He questioned himself. A voice from outside his room called out to him. Still feeling all the fatigue of dawn, he asked for five more minutes to rest. But inside, he knew that the last thing he wanted was to piss his mother off. Without any second thought, he got up from his bed.
Tedashii Katsuno. The fifteen-year-old Ronin lived in a large dojo with his family. Unlike any other human, he was exceptional as he was one of the first Nephilims. Soon, he had to go to the city of death, Legon City, to discover the pros and hardships of his future.
Live to fight
The day proceeded like any other. Wake up, brush your teeth, bathe, do your hair, get dressed, and look forward to the excellent breeze from the open window. Tedashii smiled at the daylight as today marked his final night with his family. He walked down the corridor and was attacked from behind.
WHACK!
He stumbles on the ground and rolls to stop his fall, instantly turning around. But he was relieved after realizing it was just his little sister, Konami Katsuno.
"It's about time you got off your bed. What does it take to wake you up?!"
"Coco! You scared the heck out of me!" He smiled over his serious face. "My bad. I was just about to head to the living room. Did you miss m-"
"YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WAKE UP EARLY! IF YOU DON'T, ALL THE CHORES ARE LEFT FOR ME!"
She complained about how much of a burden he usually is in the morning.
"Wait, if you do all the chores, then why doesn't Yuri help you around?"
"Because, unlike you, I have better things to do."
A voice suddenly exclaims from behind the corner of the room. It was Yuri Katsuno. After being forfeited from the dreamworld, her efforts were erased so that she couldn't come with him to the apprehension.
"Good morning to you, too, Yuri. Yeah, I slept well…thanks for asking…” Tedashii replied with a rather unpleasant expression, even though she was one year younger.
"Regardless of that, you should try to manage your schedules."
"It's Konami's fault for waking me up late."
Konami blinked for a second after realizing she had intruded into the conversation. "Wait, WHAT?! WHAT DO YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES HAVE TO DO WITH ME?!"
"ANYWAYS!" Yuri cuts the tension with her fierce temper. "Tedashii, I think you know why you had to wake up early?"
The smile that illuminated Tedashii's face slowly disappeared, as all that was left was his neutral sense, showing precisely the importance of this day. Without any other thought, only one question came to his mind.
"How long has he been waiting for us?"
"Don't you think there is only one way to find out?" She answered his question with another question. Very ironic…but he got the message.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Tedashii and Yuri walked out of the house and ran to the wasteland at the mountain's edge. Whatever they always went there for, Konami could only imagine it.
Onwards, they walked until an anonymous figure appeared before them. It was their father, Giyora Katsuno, and by the look on his face, he wasn't delighted about being held for too long.
"I assume your late coming is because of Tedashii, huh?"
"Heh heh, sorry for holding you off, Dad, but I'm here now, and that's all that counts." Tedashii slanted before what was his final sparring match against his father. Yuri was also here to back him up as they took their stance.
"Very well then. I hope you've been prepared for this Tedashii. As a goodbye present, I'd like you to show me how far you've grown, mentally and physically." The intensity of the word physically held depth, reminding them that this would be a severe battle.
"Father, I hope you're ready," Tedashii vigorously dashes toward him. "Because this time, I'm GONNA WIN THIS!"
And without any hesitation, the battle has already begun. He rushed in for a kick but was easily evaded.
"Not bad! Let's get serious then!"
WHOOSH!!
Tedashii went for a roundhouse kick to his face, but Giyora blocked it and threw Tedashii away. Yuri came from behind Giyora to sweep his legs.
SWOOSH!!
Giyora balanced back on his arms but was now open for a free attack from Tedashii. Immediately, he set for plan B. Concentrating his spiritas together, he used his prowess and fired his first attack.
Wind Prowess: True Raven TORNADO!
A tornado flew away from both of his palms towards his father. But it was no good as Giyora derailed the storms with his hand, and all Tedashii could do was watch it vanish from his palm.
"Is that it, Tedashii? What was the first thing I taught you?!"
As he said that, Tedashii smirked while Yuri appeared behind him and launched a Raven Tornado.
"IT WAS TO WORK AS A TEAM!"
By surprise, Giyora got caught by the attack. They regrouped to see the result of their plan.
Smoke still surrounded the place. Yuri was eager to celebrate their first win, but Tedashii was used to this. He took a deep breath, and it clicked.
~Sniff.
"Not yet; his spiritas is still around in the air."
One roundhouse kick is all it took to blow all the smoke away. There their father was as he slapped the dust off his clothes.
"Nice try, but it will take more than a sneak attack to get me."
Yuri got her to guard up, again knowing the battle wasn't over.
"Yuri, I'll take it from here," Tedashii said confidently.
So she held her position and gave him the stage.
"I guess it's time to show you how strong I've become."
Tedashii says before he takes his stance, 'Surge,' the regeneration stance. And then blue wind wavered around him as if it was there as his cloak. The ground began to shake as he prepared to go all out finally. Constant inhaling was the key to the perfection of Surge. He shouted out the name of his prowess to begin his power up.
HAKURAA!!!!!
(Surge: The energy system used when any ronin, or sometimes humans, stores all their spiritas to burst into an infinite or limited flow. Depending on the user, it may be successful and last long, or be fixed and help with that ONE chance in a MILLION.)
BWOOSH!!
The spiritas release was successful as Tedashii used his 'Immortal Prowess of the Blue Wind Hakuraa. His father was not phased as he fought to counter Tedashii's attacks.
"HIRAGANA!"
His sword appeared in his palm while emitting a considerable amount of spiritas.
"TAKE THIS!"
Wind Prowess: True Raven Raining Bird!
Multiple tornadoes formed around Tedashii as he homed them toward Giyora. The spiritas in the air were unlike before as his attack was much more specified to end the fight in one blow. So Giyora had to dwell on defense and use his prowess.
Wind Prowess: Storm Seal Sphere!
Tedashii's attack was all in vain, as his father used it to generate a barrier that kept him safe. But that move came with the cost of a lot of stamina. And so the two kids saw this as a chance to regroup again to try out the one action they'd rehearsed countless times.
"REVERSE!" Hiragana vanished.
"Are you ready, Yuri?!"
"Just don't mess up, Tedashii."
Joining their palms together, they prepared the Wind Prowess' strongest sync!
Wind Prowess: HIGH SPIRAL VOLLEY
A colossal aperture of wind was formed, and without any time wasted, it had already launched itself toward the target.
The blast traveled to Giyora, and he was amazed that they finally succeeded in its formation. And so, he was ready to accept defeat.
("You guys finally did it. Well done.")
