Shokan and his Nakama are all currently at the Park, training. It's mostly them training Shokan. He was doing some pretty exhausting workouts, and was doing pretty poorly because he's out of shape. Mizu used her powers to spray some water on him to cool him off and refresh him.
"Ughh...wh-why do I have to train??" He said, a bit breathless. "I'm not the one with special powers…"
"While that may be true, there's two benefits. Obviously you being in better shape will help you escape or fight weaker Teki." Mizu said, as she helped him cool off. "The second relates to us. When you get stronger, your spirit gets stronger as well. The stronger your Spirit is, the stronger all the Nakama you've linked with become."
"This is just a simple way for you to help us get stronger!" Uma said.
Shokan nodded and went back to training, but he had to stop within 5 minutes, due to exhaustion. It was just him, Uma, and Mizu at the park. Kyojin's back at Home, since she doesn't wanna be around Shokan. Shokan went over and sat on a bench, tired. He noticed some weird yellow ball on the Bench and tried to pick it up, but when he did so, he noticed a black tendril connected to it.
".....SHIT-" Shokan started to say, when a giant Angler Fish-like Teki burst from the ground, trapping him in it's jaw!
"God dammit!" Mizu shouted as she shot a powerful blast of water at the Teki, which dodged at high speed.
Uma appeared behind it and kicked it down, seeming to knock it unconscious.
"Don't worry, Shokan, I've got you!" She said as she pried the Teki's mouth open.
"UMA WAIT-" Mizu tried to warn her, but the Teki grabbed Uma with it's jaw, trapping her inside, as well!
Mizu surrounded the Teki with a ring of water to try and hold it in place. She then gathered water around her hands and made it spin rapidly.
"AO KAIYO!" She shouted, then fired a huge torrent of Water at the Teki.
The Teki suddenly opened its mouth, where Uma and Shokan were tied up by its tongue! Mizu had to redirect the attack to avoid hitting them.
"Shit...this thing's clever…" She said, trying to think of a way to fight it.
While she was thinking, the Teki closed its Jaw up again and dashed at her! Mizu tried to dodge to the side, but it rammed its head into her, sending her flying back-first into a nearby tree! She started to fall down when the Teki tackled her through the tree and then hit her away with its tail. She got up, not too injured, but still with no idea of how to fight the Teki! Just as it charged at her again, she saw something leap over her, in the direction of the Teki, while laughing joyfully. Suddenly, a familiar Nakama landed in front of her. It was Sun Wukong! She aimed the palm of her hand forwards and air gathered around her hand.
"Bā Shānshén Fēng!!" She shouted, as she fired a large blast of gold Wind at the Teki, bursting its body almost instantly, without seriously harming Uma and Shokan!
"I...I feel slightly violated…" Shokan said, covered in black goop.
Mizu ran over and helped Uma and Shokan up.
"Would've been nice to have Kyojin here…" Mizu mumbled as she healed Shokan.
"Wukong!" Uma said, upon noticing her. "You can use your powers! Did you Link with a human?"
"Yes, she did." A voice said, as someone approached them. It was Liliang, Shokan's classmate and Neighbor. She had a pretty intimidating appearance, plus she did Martial Arts, so Shokan, who's a wimp, never interacts with her. "I found her in my Dad's dojo, and I linked with her."
"O-oh...hi Liliang…" Shoken said, nervously. "Uh...I'm a new Summoner, too!"
"Hmph." She said, coldly. "I only Linked with her because a Teki was attacking the Dojo."
"But you STIIIIILL kept me around!" Wukong said, teasingly.
"Maybe you can actually help us." Mizu said, lifting Shokan up. "We're trying to train him, but it's not going well. Think you can help him?"
"Hmm...probably…" Liliang said, looking Shokan in the eye. "Might be fun~"
Shokan gulped. He knew he was screwed.
