Indistructro landed on the ground with force, his audacious landing carved another crater once more. He looked around and found his fellow Guardian's devouring the remains of a Buffalo. They all glanced him, "Such a dramatic arrival, though I find it not necessary for you to do such," said Kuhn Lau. He rolled his eyes and centered his focus towards Yung Fu. "Really Yung Fu why have you not awaken me from my slumber while you are training. Yung Fu arose to his feet and pottered towards the wood fire. He grabbed a kettle subsiding of steel and poured its liquid content inside. He then took a sip and answered him. "To ensure that your body obtained enough rest to heal. I presume that you left your bed unattended." "I am Indistructro, a might warrior. Rest is for the feeble! I owe Slicer a beating of his life." Yung Fu furrowed his eyebrows and inquired, "how do you suppose you do such. After all his lightning bolt has harrowed through your flesh." He clenched his fist and stepped forward, "Like I said before, rest is for the feeble!" "My such a witty tongue, I suppose adeqaute training will not be such a bad thing after all," said Kuhn Lau with his arms folded. "Have you devised through a plan yet, that when he return we should put him to his knees?" inquired Indistructro. He took another sip and answered his inquiry, "We don't have a plan yet, however we all training not only to go stronger, but to groom our bodies so that they may find some immunity against his lightning bolts." Viper than added, "I agree. That was not like any lightning bolt our natural traits as Utopians is to resist forces such as lightning and other elements. But Slicer's lightning bolt proved to be one of a kind, after all it knocked you out for merely 2 weeks. The next strike won't be so noble." Kuhn Lau then said as drew close to the conversation, after arising from his seat. "Indeed, I think have a suggestion to our device. While I was training Pete with vigorous internal exercises, he awakens his chi. In doing so he was able to heal from all the blisters and wounds that he endured. To wrap this up, one of our flaws as Guardian's is that we prioritize external methods above internal methods. Ii think this all started upon each of our arrival on Earth. This planet's illustrious customs has cost us of devotion to our full training, for this reason we fallen into a trap where we see no use in prioritizing our internal exercises." Ace then shrugged and inquired, "So what are you trying to say." "That if we all prioritize our internal exercises, our chi will grow thus giving our bodies immunity to hostile attacks." They all agreed with one another while nodding their heads in agreement. "Sounds reasonable, enough" said Indistructro. "Then let us proceed with our trainings shall we," said Kuhn Lau.
Throughout the entire month the Guardians progressed gradually with their training, not only did they all grow physically but more so internally. During the period of the month, Pete was able to fulfill his goal. Which initially was to dig a well that was 60 feet deep. He used buckets to draw water inside it from the river. He also learnt various techniques such as throwing different kinds of blows utilizing his fist, and countering adverted attacks. Yung Fu also influenced him with leg exercises, with due time he learnt different kinds of kicks and how to manouirve each kind. He lost a lot of considerable amount of weight, though he still had a potbelly but it was not as significant as it once was. His self esteem improved vigorously so did he learn to forgive himself by cutting ties with his past and progressing onward. He started eating vegetables and fruits more often
this lead to a new form of emotional balance.
A month and 2 weeks later
They Guardian's returned to the Sihuyean, were they so jubilant to return to the modern world, a world that faciled their lives in comparison to indigenous livelihoods. The only people that were filled with jubirance where Pete, Viper and Ace. With delight Viper gentle inhaled the very waft that salutated them with ecstatic energy, while she raised her hands, "The modern world how have we forsaken you. You truly have been a shoulder to lean and hath not dared to disappoint my expectancies." Kuhn Lau turned around and furrowed his eyebrows. "Forget not miss Bloom for comfort will cost you your strength." She furrowed her eyebrows with offense, like a drama queen her right hand postured into a form resembling a cobras stance. "Oh darling don't be such a drag. You as well have fallen victim to this trap as well. Now if you may excuse I have bath to indulge in." She then wrapped her arm around Yung Fu's elbow. "Come now handsome, show me where bath would be." Yung Fu's cheeks fluxed red. "Ehhh." She then glanced at him. "Do not dare think of anything dirty." "No I wasn't." She pulled him towards the zouling (corriders). Ace was beyond speechless. He placed his hand on Indistructro's left and said, "Why she's a feisty one." Indistructro replied with a drone distorted voice, "You have no idea." "And I like that, feisty woman intrance my blood."
Houzhaofang (North hall)
Kuhn Lau and Pete began sparring but before fighting. They both stood on a mattress and bowed before one another. Thenafter Pete pivoted and utilized a turning kick, Kuhn Lau responded by pushing his leg away with the surface of his palm. He once again used another turning kick, this time around Kuhn Lau evaded the attack by negotiating under his passing leg, just as limbo dancer would by going under a bar. Kuhn Lau then launched an attack of his own by throwing a roundhouse kick. Pete blocked the kick by using the under side of his elbow. As soon as he block the attack, this reverberated an echoe throughout the hall. Pete then tried to kick him under his chin, he responded by flipping backwards twice. Pete rushed in for the attack and tried to punch him on the bridge of his nose. Kuhn Lau evaded the attack by moving to the side. He grabbed his elbow and sunk his elbows through his flesh. Anguish hovered around his body, he would react to it when he remembered Yung Fu's words. "Whenever you are compromised in a duel never give in to your anguish. Rather repress it and find an alternative out of your predicament."
When he returned to reality; Kuhn Lau's hand still sunk into his flesh like an eagles claws. He then sunk his other hands onto his right shoulder. Pain hovered through the particular spot, he repressed his emotions and pushed Kuhn Lau on the chest utilizing the buddhas palm. The palm attack repelled him backwards, he was on wobbly legs. Pete quickly responded by lowering his posture and sweeping his leg in a 360 degree angle. He then sweeped of the ground and placed his foot on his chest. "Do you yield?" Kuhn Lau responded with a chuckle as he grabbed his hand which was pointed at him. He trapped him in a gogoplata foot choke. "No Pete, do ye yield." He tapped on his tigh and Kuhn Lau released him. Pete arose to his feet while holding his neck. "What the hell was that?" "That was a gogoplata foot choke, though traditionally it does not fall under Kung fu. But I utilized to ensure that you do not tap your own master. It would be such a shame." Pete then pointed at him. "I tell you, one day I will surpass you and Yung Fu." Kuhn Lau smiled, "Oh is that a challenge? My your testosterone levels has increased haven't they?"
Yung Fu entered the hall with a gold staff, Kuhn Lau turned to him and inquired. "Did you help madam Bloom with her bath." Yung Fu rolled his eyes and tossed to the staff to him. He grabbed the staff and looked at its exquisite design. Yung Fu then said while pottering towards them. "After incling mine ears to our conversation, you once told me about your liking to yin shou gun. It then came to me , I realised that I had a staff back at the Sihuyean. Thus I have preference to hand combat in comparison to yin shou gun." With a smile Kuhn Lau bowed his head and said, "Xie'xie' ni."
Pete's phone began buzzing from his right pocket, he reached for his pocket and placed the device on his ear and answered the call. "Hello." A voice then said, "Mr Atkinson do you still remember me?" He further his eyebrows and inquired. "No I'm not. Who are you." The voice chuckled and answered his inquiry. "Its your old pal Peterson. General Peterson." He was delighted to hear his voice once more and said, "Peterson old pal is that you?" Peterson rubbed his chin with a smile and placed the edge of the mug between his lips. He then a sipped the content of the creamy coffee inside of his mouth, "Yes of course. Do you still remember the medallion that you once released to me?" "of course why do you ask?" After taking a sip he placed the mug aside and continued,"It has come to my attention that after doing research about it. I realised its significance. Do you still have it strapped against your chest?" He "No." Peterson raised his eyebrows with bewilderedment and inquired. "Why? I thought that you bluntly stated to me that it was the only treasure you had." "Look something uneventful took place General..." Peterson then intervened while he spoke. "Please care to tell me how lost it." He gulped and stuttered thereafter as he scratched his hair. "well you see...umm...Here is thing an adversary by the name of Slicer snatched it from my grasp." Peterson sat back on his chair and relieved a deep and prolonged sigh. "My fears have materialized." Pete raised his furrowed his eyebrows with bewilderedment. "Wait?! How have your fears materialized?" Peterson took another sip, after swallowing the liquid content he placed the mug aside and continued. "Here's the thing Slicer nearly cost one of my most decorated soldiers their lives. To add on to that according to the manuscripts if all medallions were to untie in harmony. Their powers would help the wielders to travel to the Dark Realm and unleash Death Wrath." "Yeah about that there is nothing to fear.' He took another sip and inquired with intrigue. "And why is that so Mr Atkinson?" "It turns out that the medallions only adhere to their original wielders behest." He exhaled heavily and carved a smile on his face thereof. "Thank goodness." Peterson then held his wrist up high and glanced at the watch. "Tell you what? I'll pay you a visit within an hour or 2. Plus I've dragged along a special guest." "You may do so but how do you intend on finding me?" He fixed his coat and let out a smile, "Oh don't worry about. Such information I hold with high regard." He dropped the phone and logged onto the GPS. The GPS materialized his (Pete's) coordinates, "There we are, it seems as though his current location is down town, just minuets away." He said as he fixed his eyes towards Max, who sat across the table while shoving his fork on a slab of pan cake, supported by a chocolate cream on top. He set then knife to separate the a piece from the main body and devoured the portion of waffle inside his mouth. After meshing the piece of waffle to pieces, he swallowed and grabbed a saviet which was neatly placed next to booklet. He wiped his mouth and placed it aside once more. "What did he say General?" Peterson took another sip and answered his inquiry, "Nothing much. But brings forth good news." He skewed through the other end of the waffle with the fork and carved out another piece, as a portion of the chocolate cream slid off. He engulfed it afterward he inquired, "Really? That sounds fascinating." "I'll fill you in along the way."
An hour later
At the Sihuyean
A black Austin Martin vulcan parked in front of a Damen, which was the main gate. 2 gate keepers held both knows of the gates and opened it. The car drove inside and parked at the Walyuan (The first courtyard) It resembled the an original parking lot though the only difference was the design of the floor. The ground composed of plastered bricks; Peterson and Max walked outside of the car and entered the inner premises of the Sihuyean. They then pottered through the grounds of the second court yard, which was the inner courtyard. The courtyard was outstanding with its exterior. It subsided of a 2 path aways that were lined against one another, initially forming a crucifix. 4 small grass fields were established exterior to the crucifix and one had a fountain. Pebble stones were stationed to the sides of the pathways. The 6 Guardians stood aside from one another all geared up for another duel with Slicer. Peterson bowed his head and walked towards Yung Fu. "Master Yung Fu. It is a honour to be graced by your presence." They shook hands. "Pete has told us of your visit. We are pleased to welcome you." Kuhn Lau then inquired while Indistructro and Ace folded their arms. "Tell us General what brings you here." "I have brought here one of my trusted soldiers Max. He is a meta human and I ask that he may form a temporary alliance with you to take down Slicer on his return." "What abilities does he possess?" Inquired Viper. "Magnokenisis. Since Slicer is composed mainly of dark metal. It only struck me late that Max has what it takes to prove much of a force for him." Ace then shrugged. "I suppose another addition to the team won't hurt. Plus the more the merrier am I right? Whose with me?", he said with smile. They fixed their eyes at him sternly while he felt humiliated. He the whispered to Pete, "talk about a tough crowd." Yung Fu then said, "Even so but wouldn't put you in a compromise, after all some us might not get out of this alive." "I have faith in him." "Then if take responsibility of any misencounter. I shall not impede you."
Suddenly the sky morphed into a grey pigment as the clouds began to integrate into a one group. They clashed into one another and hurled out a lighting bolt, which streaked across the sky. They all looked up at the same time. Indistructro clenched his fist and said with a deep distorted voice. "His here." A fleet of scout ships entered the troposphere. The fleet of scout ships entered the premises of the city.
Inside the city
The citizens tilted their heads upwards and bore witness of scout ships. A force of wind soared around the city with force blowing particular objects away. Objects such as street poles, cars, mailboxes and e.t.c. Many citizens started flooding the city blocks with panic and hurried to find shelter for safety. Slicer landed his scout ship im front of the tallest building in the city. He climbed of the ship and fixed his towards the roof of the building while the fleet of scout ships soared individually across the city causing panic. A group of troopers of each ship and climbed off the scout ships and soared down onto the city blocks through the use of a rope of a flexible, Black rope that helped them climb down. When they feet sunk onto the grounds, their aimed their plasma cannons on the citizens that they encountered. "Freeze hands in the air!" One group said, out of terror they raised their hands in the air and abided to their commands. The troopers captured the citizens that they could find and returned to their scout ships.
Meanwhile
Slicer transitioned to the roof of the building and looked over the city. He stretched his hand towards the dark, grey sky. He closed his eyes and connected himself with the lightning bolts. He opened his eyes and stretched his hand forth towards a nearby building. In doing so he summoned a powerful lightning bolt that struck the building. The lightning bolt polverished the entire 54 building go crumbles. To make matters worse, the lighting attack did not only end there. Rather the lighting bolt continued the ground, harrowing through the dust. When it reached a vocal part of the city, it reverberated a massive shockwave abroad the entire city. The shockwave caused several more buildings to topple over one another, while over 500 vehicles topple over as well and imploded into an explotion. The lightning bolt soared through the ground, in doing so many streets in the city split in apart.
