***NoTe
"Wake up NoTe." I hear a voice from behind me say. I look around. My eyes start adjusting to the light. I turn around and it's Legion holding some tea.
" What the hell am I doing here?" I say to him. I notice there are cuts all through my clothes.
" You were killed by Miyamoto Musashi." Legion says.
"Don't worry whatever happens in the time chains doesn't affect actual time. I'm sending you back in now. Try not to die so easily." Legion says.
Was I really killed by him? I don't even remember getting hit. Before I go back into the time chains. I grab two swords on the ground. Then get transported back to his time period. I wake up on the ground and Musashi is sitting there. It's as if he's waiting for me. I didn't notice before but Musashi Is barely 5'10. He isn't a tall man and his limbs aren't abmormally long either.
He's definitely strong. Physically he's at the peak of a swordsmans physique. I try removing my blade from its sheath. However Musashi stops me with his leg. Then brings his blade to my neck.
"Calm down I just want to talk to you." Musashi says to me. He only did two moves. Two simple moves. So why could I barely react to them?
"So who are you and where are you from. This is the first I've met a such a dark colored man." He says.
" My name is NoTe and I'm from North America." I say to him.
" What a weird name and place your from. However, how is it that I killed you and you aren't dead?" He asks.
" You failed." I say to him.
"Yes that's true. Thank you for allowing me another chance." Musashi says. I jump away from him but he already has an attack coming towards me. I block it but it still sends me flying.
" I can cut through anything boy don't forget that." Musashi says while swinging again. I have to dodge this one. As he closes in he stops mid swing and kicks me. It lands right on my solar plexus. It sends me flying into a tree.
" I can tell you've been trained. You almost. blocked that kick. Which means your hand to hand combat skill is no joke. However, were you really trained to be a fighter? It looks as if you were trained to be a killer." Musashi says
I can't keep letting him rush me. I do a downwards strike. Musashi counters and slices straight through my blade. Cutting my arm as well.
" It's easy to see the difference between a fighter and killer. A fighter fights to win. They fight for their pride and a test of their skill. Killers though. They kill for money. They are desperate for it. That makes their attacks obvious and sloppy. " Musashi says.
I trade more attacks with him. Every time he reads me perfectly. Like he already knows my style.
"Fighters are fluid like water. We can adapt to anything. Killers are like this sword. They only have one purpose. To serve their master." Musashi lands one more decisive strike after he says that. I land on the ground after his upwards strike across my chest sends me up in the air.
I can feel myself dying returning back to the time chains. Is he right though am I weapon with no master? I guess he's right. I went from Stitch to Lucifer. Things are different now though. I want to be the best. He says I have to be fluid like water I'll do that.
I start getting up. Loosening the grip on my sword.
" Woah you're getting up. I thought I killed you. For sure this time." Musashi says.
"Flow like water." I whisper. Musashi tenses up. I let my blade fall upon his open chest. I slash straight through it. I release my blade from my left hand then slash back up with my right. Making an X mark on his body. Same as he did to me.
" Let me apologize Musashi. You're right I am a very good assassin but I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to learn and you've taught me well." I say to him.
"Well I didn't expect you to take my words to heart." Musashi says while holding his bleeding chest.
" Don't worry you won't die from that wound. It'll leave a small scar for you to remember me by." I say to him. I exit the time chains returning to Legion.
" You've got new scars but you didn't die. That's good. Where too next?" Legion asks.
" Alexander The Great. I want to meet him next." I say to him.
" Okay I'll send you to his time period. I hope you learn something there too." Legion says.
The king of kings they call him. I wonder how strong he is. Who should I meet next though? Julius ceaser, Lu bu, cleopatra, and many others. I'll meet all of them and learn from all of them. So it doesn't matter the order I do it in.
I wake up in the middle of a battlefield. There's dead Persians all around me. This is Clearly a battlefield the Macedonians dominated. Of course in the center of the army was Alexander.
" Hey who the hell are you?" A soldier from behind me asks. I hit him in the throat to shut him up. However it's too late he made enough of a commotion. To where the other soldiers noticed me. Spears start getting thrown at me. Alexander looks at me then looks away.
He just disrespected me. He thinks I'm weak and not worth the effort. I'll show him he's wrong. I grab one of the spears out the air. I throw straight at his head. Just at an angle to where it'll knock his helmet off.
A perfect bullseye. He turns around clearly pissed about what just happened. The rest of his soldiers rush me as well. This will be fun.
