He pushes as hard as he can and slowly begins to push the zombie further down the hill. As he does this, sharp bones start to protrude from certain parts of his body. Mainly across his arms. These arms also gain a lot more muscle mass than before. He then begins to win the power struggle with ease. He kicks the zombie down the hill with his new power and he says "I've got father's power now!" He has some claws as well as new razor sharp fangs.
8 YEARS EARLIER
A man, at least 7'10, and about 330 lbs or 130kg stands with his arms tightly crossed. He has brown hair with slight grey strands as well as a very burly figure. He also has many scars and piercing blue eyes. He stands, looking at his smaller son. Alden.
Alden clenches his fists and makes a childish snarl. All that occurs is a small trickles of fire and a flash of pure white in his eyes.
His father looks in disappointment and says "You will never become a wendigo and avenge the Na'este name if you can't even do simple shifting at this age! Can you not even grow some bones?" He opens his palm and a sharp bone extends from his palm. "Like this? Can you seriously not make bones like this?!" His son's eyes begin to tear up as he shouts and he replies. "N-no, I can't father.." He looks away in disgust and says "Our family name has been dying away for centuries and you dare to say that you can't use our power?! Your mother's powers has rotted away mine. You might as well take her name too!" Alden shakes his head and says "No I want your's father!"
His mother arrives to try and stop his father. She has luscious and wavy white hair with pale skin. She also has a lean figure and stands at 5'6.
"Stop this, Leo! So what if he has a lot of my power. He can still be called a Na'este!" She says in anger towards him. Leo turns away in annoyance and says "Whatever."
Alden looks down and declares in his head "I will gain your power! One day I will become a true wendigo! A fire wendigo!"
His skin has also gained a drier colour. He snarls at the zombie with his new power and waggles his fingers in preparation.
He runs forward but doesn't punch the green beast. Instead, he slashes right up its body and reveals its dark blood. With this momentum, he hits the zombie with a front kick so he can gain some distance.
The newly powered wendigo takes a step forward then swivels around to try and land a heel kick. This attack is easily dodged then he is stricken in his chest. He falls back but lands on his hands before flipping onto his feet. He zooms forward then slams into the zombie. He stabs into its arm with his new sharp bones that run all the way down his arms. This gives him an extra advantage and he shoves it away as he has the advantage.
The burly zombie rushes right back in with a punch but Alden blocks with his boney arms. This causes some deep cuts on the zombie's knuckle. It cowers away from the pain then Alden hooks it across the jaw. He follows by slashing across the gut of it before finishing with a deadly side kick.
Tanji says to himself "I need this quest!" He runs forward and lands a powerful and coordinated kick with the Dire Slam. This hurls the zombie right over Alden's head, much to his surprise. Tanji then uses Brownout, while he is mid-air, then dives down for a punch to its back. He snaps the zombie's spine right in two and paralyses it. "How am I supposed to kill it with my knuckledusters?" He asks in confusion. He throws a barrage of punches with the weapons and just opens up the back of the zombie. As this happens, he uses his True Power Fist to strike its heart and he kills it once the heart just pops and crushes from the impact.

"What sort of art is this?! I could break literal bones with this! I'm sure my punches would be stronger than Alden's too!"
He turns back to his friends and says "There are 150 - 200 beings here. We've taken out like 20 of them maybe. We've got maximum 180 to go and its been so long!" Alden says "At least we get rewarded for it. I'll take the left side of the forest." Silvan says "I'll take the top." Tanji says "I'll take the right then."
Tanji runs forward and while doing so, he opens his stats for his weaponry.

"Oh yeahh! Bone-crusher! I need to evaluate myself more before jumping into battle. I can't remember all of these powers as quickly as I should." He says to himself while running.
He arrives a good distance from their starting position then uses Dire Leap to soar to the tops of tops of the trees. He dives down and slams an open area. The ground below just completely destroys and crackles. There, he hears bones rattling and moving around. 5 skeletons as well as 15 zombies are revealed from the ground. He bangs his black knuckledusters together and his eyes glow golden. "A combination form should be able to handle them." He says with confidence. His qi aura engulfs him and he puts down his arms.
He examines the surroundings with his new eyesight and says "Let's begin!"
