Jack opens his eyes and sees he is on top of a hill he sits upwards and looks around at first all he could see was a blossom tree and a sunrise he looks around some more and he hears voices. He backs towards the blossom tree where he sees a little boy fighting a girl. The boy was small. He appeared to be at least 12. The girl was older in her 20s at least, she had long red hair, a jacket with a big hoodie, fingerless gloves, long boots and a hat that he had seen before but couldn't remember where. As Jack watched he could see the girl was only fighting with one hand as the boy was throwing everything he had at her but was still getting nowhere. The girl grabbed his wrist and spun him onto the ground as he hit his head "No fair you're so much stronger than me," the boy said. the girl then leaned down and patted his head "When it comes to fighting strength isn't the only thing that matters there are many ways to defeat a stronger opponent" "Really?" "Of course the way of the uppercut is more than just knowing how to fight and overpower an opponent there's so much more" "Will you teach me, please Jacqueline?" "Yeah what are super cool older sisters for" the two smile and laugh. Jack stood up and was confused. He walked over towards them "Excuse me could you tell me where I am?" He tried to reach out but when he did his hand went straight through them. Then everything disappears and suddenly it was night time he looked around for the boy and the girl when he looked at the edge of the hill a giant ray of red light appears from the ground as a figure was floating in it Jack couldn't see who it was but he could sense the rage from it as he started to fly towards him wanting to consume him but before it could Jack woke from his dream. "AAAAHH!" He shouted waking from his dream he placed his hand on his forehead scared for his life he was dripping with sweat. He looked up and around and saw he was not in his apartment room but was instead in someone's house he was wearing different clothes as well along with a different pair of underwear "Who put these on me who changed my underwear?" He said, making this his number one priority he got out the bed and started to look around the room. He looked on top of a nearby dresser and it had a note on it saying "When you're done wondering about who changed you come on down we'll let you in." He put the note back and made his way downstairs from the room he was in. The house was huge. He started to find his way toward what appeared to be the main room.
As he walked into the room he saw many children walking around, sitting down, and eating what looks like breakfast as one boy approaches him. "You must be Jack, I'm Tucker, welcome to our home" he says with a smile."Where am I? What is this place?" Jack asks. "You are currently in the living room in one of many of Fighters orphanages." Jack was confused about why he was in an orphanage. While he was thinking three girls run-up and grab onto his legs "hello I'm Anne" "I'm Annabelle" "and I'm Bella we are the cooks of the house,come to have a seat and eat" the three drag him to a table and sat him down. "Look I appreciate you cooking for me and everything but I'm honestly still confused why am I in an orphanage and who is Fighter?" The three girls put a plate of food in front of him "look I'm no-" .Before he could finish his sentence one of them shoved a cookie into Jack's mouth and chewed and swallowed it. He was surprised it tasted so good that he grabbed another one and ate the rest of them. "Thank you it was delicious" the three girls smiled and runoff. "Okay now that's taken care of can you please tell me where I am?" The boy smiled "Follow me Jack". He got up and followed him into what looks like a training room. Where he saw the woman who knocked him unconscious last night, she was fighting two boys as she easily defeated them. "Nice try Loki, Dani but even together you couldn't take me",the two got up rubbing the back of their heads. "Next time old lady" said Loki "Dang nabbit." said Dani. The two walk out of the ring as a girl runs up to Sierra and gives her a water bottle. "This is a training arena Fighter asked me to bring you here","OH YOU AWAKE HOW WAS YOUR NAP SLEEPING BEAUTY!" Shouted Sierra Jack chuckles. "WELL IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT YOU THINK I'M BEAUTIFUL LET ME GUESS YOU LOVE MY HAIR AS WELL!" He shouted back towards her as he grinned, she then gave the cup back to the girl and walked towards Jack. "Don't flatter yourself," Jack started to walk towards her as Tucker tried to stop him "Let me show you what this newbie can do". Just as the two were about to lock fist a man appeared between them. "Now Sierra what did I say about fighting newcomers".The man asked her, "Nothing you literally said nothing about fighting newcomers"she said with her hands on her hip. "Really I could have sworn I said something all well FROM NOW ON ALL NEWCOMERS MUST BE HIT IN THE FACE BY A WATER BALLOON!" The man shouted at everyone. "Wait for wh-" before Jack could finish he was hit in the face with a water balloon. "Good job Loki," the man said, giving the boy a high five. Jack wiped the water off his face frustrated as he walked toward the man "Okay I've had it up to here with all the confusion are your fighter?" He asked "Sure" he said with a shrug."What do you mean sure it's a yes or no question"Jack said frustrated "Well fighter is only one of the names I go by most people would know me as Spencer Nine richest man alive, richer than your lame clockwork family "he said with a smug. "Ugh never mind are you at least the man I met the other day?"Jack said, running out of patience. "Yes, what can I do for you?" "You can tell me why I'm here," Fighter smiled. "Let us head to my office Sierra continue with the training". She gives him the finger as the two-head into Fighter's office. " Uppercut Jack your quite famous around here you know the kids love watching your matches" He said leaning back into a chair."Really there's usually pretty short".
"They may be short but with my training, they have a higher understanding of your technique, but there was one match against what was his name, oh yes Zack Riptod, kind of a lame name if you ask me but anyway, went by Downercut people called him your exact opposite you barely pulled the win"
"Just barely I'm sorry does this have a point?" Fighter smiles and pours himself a cup of something Jack didn't recognize in sight or smell. "Do you wanna know why Zack was the only one who could match you,why all your other fights have been so easy, simple you Jack have developed a core" He said taking a sip of the drink."A core?" Jack curiosity grows. "Yes, a core is like a power source everyone possesses one. By training your core you can do a number of things. Enhance one's own skills,be able to control fire at will anything is possible,but depending on what ability you're aiming for it may take longer decades perhaps you, however, you have already slowly begun to grow a core as it has increased your strength, speed, and stamina however you have not developed a power for it yet, once you do that it'll be difficult to change that power you must focus it, master it" Jack was quiet for a moment as he looked at his right hand. "I could always feel something was different about me that there was some power inside me". Fighter took another sip from his drink and continued his explanation "As of right now the world is just now beginning to discover the core abilities, thanks to a little nudging from well me, and what better way to respond than to throw a tournament although it will be a small event, it's just a test to see how people like it,you know the whole sha bang." Jack looked up at Fighter. "Fighter you said you could tell me about my past who am I where do I come from" Fighter tossed him a note Jack caught it and looked at it and read what it said, "The one who opens the door will face the 7th and receive his gift of change,I don't understand what does it mean?" Fighter sighed "No idea but only one race could read that language a Core-Night, and they all live in the kingdom of Seikatsu" He said, taking another sip,"REALLY!" Jack said as he stood in excitement. "Settle down, unfortunately, they've closed off their borders to both outsiders and outcasts". Jack fell back into the chair as if all hope was lost. "Now here's where things get interesting if this 1st tournament goes well, all nations across the world have agreed to enter in their own strong fighters to represent their countries, some of which already have powers like the chosen five from Zetania they're a story for another day, though no need to overload ya, and yes this does include the people of Seikatsu who all already have core abilities themselves unknown to the rest of the world." Jack smiled realizing there was so much he didn't know,fire returns to Jack's eyes as he gets excited, and looks forward to this challenge. "How long until the tournament?" He asked with Excitement. "One month till we announce it and then six months till it starts and a year between each tournament after that, so about seven months for the first one then a whole year, which gives us plenty of time to get you ready." He said, pouring himself another drink, "Ready?" Jack was confused by this. "YES READY FROM NOW ON I WILL BE YOUR MASTER AND TRAIN YOU ON HOW TO USE YOUR CORE. Stick with me kid and I'll help unlock your hidden power and help you learn about your past." Fighter says as he sticks his hand and offers him a handshake. Jack reaches out and shakes it "Deal."The two shake hands and smile."Ooh, now go break this to your trainer for me. I hate awkward interactions".
