he tried hopping on to it and fell straight through. he was trying to see if he could ride on top but was failing miserably for over two hours and decided to call it a day and headed back in as he had become frustrated.
A week passed and Damon was on his final day. all In all because of how the time worked in the space he was in he would only lose two days and a half back at home. the total time he lost outside the space was now twelve days.
Damon had brushed up on his Lightning skills more and learned a good bit. his main challenge was keeping it all in his head. he had come up with many new attacks but remembering all of them was a separate task within itself. some where weak and useless while others were strong and useful. he could have dismissed the ones he felt were useless but his gutt feeling said otherwise which made him believe maybe they could be adaptable or useful in the future.
He prepared for his final day of training walking out the lodge and into the canyon area. waiting for him was a replica of himself which was of course monsoon but the way he was standing was off to Damon. "what's up, you must have been shaking off some rust training or something." he asked looking at monsoon's stance. Damon walked around him curiously because monsoon said nothing at all and just remained watching him in a fighting stance.
"oh so you want me to copy this stance you're in right. he asked. again monsoon said nothing and within seconds Damon felt something crashing down on the top of his head as monsoon disappeared.
he then felt another force hit him square in his face and then his chest. it happened so fast that it felt to be at once. the three blows knocked him on his ass in pain.
it took almost twenty seconds before he could gather himself as he looked up at monsoon in confusion.
Monsoon gestured for him to get up and fight which Damon now understood what was going on and wobbled to his feet getting in a fighting stance. "it's my final day, you must want me to put what I've learned to action in a real fight." he said lowly while his voice rised towards the ending of his sentence as he bolted in throwing straight punch and then using his other arm turning it into a spinning back fist following a low crouched elbow to monsoon stomach.
Monsoon moved his head to the side dodging the straight punch,ducked the spinning back fist and raised his knee to block the low hitting elbow. with the same leg and knee he blocked Damon's attack with, while raised he stretched it out kicking Damon in the head with it and while jumping up with his other leg performing another kick that collided with his shoulders and arms sending Damon skidding and rolling across the ground.
Monsoon leaped into the air attempting to meet Damon's rolling body as it stopped with a knee but seeing this Damon intentionally kept rolling his body. monsoon's knee hit the rocky surface of the canyon putting a small crater in it three times the size of his knee. Damon's first thought was to rush forward as he rolled back up but instead he generated a lightening strike that came out the palm of his hand a move he managed to learn while there.
Monsoon produced a small cloud in his hand as the lightening flew his way. the cloud sucked up the lightening and trapped it within itself and now monsoon had a ball of clouds with Damon's power trapped inside it. Damon's eyes widen with surprise. monsoon threw the ball at Damon as a human shaped cloud descended behind him.
Damon was too busy calculating the speed of the ball and deciding if he could escape it's path and in doing so didn't notice monsoons body was fading. Before the ball could reach him it disappeared as he felt a strong palm in his lower back.
Arrrrg!
Damon yelled in pain as it felt like his spine was shattered. he flew forward and then felt his stomach crash into something extremely solid which was monsoons knee that sent him back tumbling to the ground. Damon held onto his stomach as he began to jolt with pains until he spewed up blood.
"you bastard, why are you doing this. this doesn't feel like training at all." he asked monsoon In a cracky voice. Monsoon said nothing and gestured again for Damon to get up and continue.
"you want to play it this way. fine then." he said licking his bloody teeth and spitting a glob of blood out to the ground while standing back up. Dark clouds appeared with heavy rain as lightening could be seen within the clouds bouncing around inside.
Crackle, he whispered to himself as two lightening whips formed in his hands.
He slung them together with speed while moving forward. monsoon twisted his body to the side splitting the difference of the space between the whips. seeing this Damon flipped his wrists inwardly making the whips close in on him. monsoon grabbed ends of both whips. his hands were surrounded in small puffy clouds.
Coming down fast was a sword of water infused with electricity as Monsoon held onto the whips. Damon had this in motion from the second he casted his rain cloud.
looking up seeing the lightening water blade monsoon smiled as he yanked hard on the electric whips taking them out of Damon's hands like taking candy from a baby. he then swung them up slapping the sword to the side as it came down with one whip forcing the blade to face upside down by the hilt while the other whip wrapped around the sword.
He then jumped in the air with a few turns essentially swirling the lightening water blade with him with the whips and threw it back at Damon. lightning whips and all flew at Damon. Damon's eyes flashed purple for a second as purple lightening came from his legs and feet blasting backwards and up in the air away from monsoon's counter attack. Damon had to add pure demonic ki into a static jump to evade it but while doing so monsoon was on him again with another elbow on the top of his head.
He hit the ground hard as the sword and whips released an electrical pulse explosion in the distance. Damon bounced to his feet starring daggers at monsoon who was casually standing on a floating cloud above looking down on him like he was nothing but an annoying fly. this took Damon by surprise. he knew monsoon was fighting him to test his skills but the look in monsoon's eyes said different. even though he was looking at himself in all reality the face expressions of monsoon made him look entirely different.
His eyes were cold looking and looked to become colder by the passing of time. like he didn't give a Damn about him or life. Monsoon held out his hand and the next second Damon's clouds and rain disappeared.
"the hell. I know it's originally his power but he shouldn't be able to just wisp my shit away like it's nothing. Fighting him using his own power might not work. I'll use my own then, mines, not his. but I will use this though.
Damon took a wide stance gritting his teeth as purple energy flowed around him and within a min and a few seconds he was brimming with demonic energy in his demonic form. he looked up at monsoon who's expression didn't change at all. in fact he looked more disturbed and cold.
A purple lightening shot out the sky that looked like it struck Damon's raised arm but after the flashing of the light a Javalin made of pure demonic ki was shaped and in his hand. he looked at the Javalin for a few seconds and smiled."this is for you girl, if I don't do anything else I'll make this bastard sweat." he told himself thinking about Javalin his soul beast.
Damon blasted upwards heading straight for him thrusting the Javalin forward. monsoon stepped to the side dodging the attack as a small cloud appeared under one foot and then his other. "this fucker is literally walking on clouds." Damon thought.
After Damon's attack he was falling back to the ground. they weren't up high just around 50 meters in the air. but Damon had no method to fighting in the air. so for a few minutes he repeated the same tactics. jumping up with a demonic infused static jump attacking while in the air while monsoon continued to dodge.
"come on. think Damon. what happens if you have to face someone with a flying ability where the sky is their domain what then." monsoon thought to himself hoping Damon come up with something in which he did.
the next time Damon landed on the ground his eyes shined with a purple light. as Dark clouds covered the sky in the area they were in once again. monsoon waved his hands and to his surprise the clouds didn't disappear. "interesting he tripled the amount of ki to make it tougher this time. good. I can still get it out my way easily but let's see what you plan to do with it." monsoon thought.
Damon saw his attempt to get rid of it fail and smiled. "so, the others didn't have enough ki to protect them I see. can anyone get rid of my clouds or just you because it's your power as well." he thought and asked himself.
as quick as Damon told himself he wasn't going to use monsoon power he had to change his tune.
Lightning strikes came out the cloud at monsoon. they were fast but not fast enough as he fluently evaded them. this went on for a minute before Damon added his own lightening strikes from his hands. now monsoon had to deal with dodging these fast strikes of energy from above and below. Damon could now produce lightening from above without the storm clouds but it was harder for him to hit his target especially if they were fast.
he found this out through training as well. with the clouds the control over his lightning seemed to be easier and so for now he would rely on the storm clouds to be his optic sight for firing his lightning while doing it without was much more like using an iron sights.
