"C-c'mon!" A red glow covers the two swords, "Yes I did it!- hold on..." I wondered why it glows red, truth energy is supposedly green. "Hey!" Amar said, "Maybe that's because of the way you used it, you channeled it to the sword like healing magic, either that's healing magic in the sword, or it's actually truth energy." (Hmm, so that's what happened?) "Let's see what happens!" I swung the sword at a boulder... The boulder was split in half! "Yes! I finally did it!"
"Honestly I didn't know you'd be able to pull it off!"
One month of training, and the results? 2 energies mastered.
"Hey, Amar!" "Jason? What is it?" I told Amar that it was time for me to go, the ship is about to arrive bringing in new visitors, and bringing me back home. "I promise that even when I'm not here Im going to keep training." "Are you ever going to come back?" "I will!" Suddenly Aine was calling for my name "Jason!" She said, "I got a message, the ship won't be here, they're going to be late, and will need you to wait for 2 months." (Wait, what?!) "Wait hold on, how did this happen?" She shrugs, and Aine looks at the paper. "They said that they couldn't do it today, that's the only thing they said." (What kind of reason is that?) "There's no way this is actually their reason for cancelling it." Amar aksed, "Well what are you gona do now Jason?" "I dont know." I said, "I'll just wait here, at least I'll get some time training."
"Tomorrow, it's going to be another tournament, right Amar?" "Yes," He asked, "You're going to join?" "Yeah, but first." I picked up my swords and said. "Would you like to have a friendly match?" Amar excitedly said "I would love to!"
The night before the day…
"We're about to stop on that island over there!" everyone heard the man and did what they're supposed to do. Suddenly the people from that island whom planned to invade fiery island circled around the ship. The man in the middle then said, "We are from the island of greed, we have come to use your ship!"* ('*' means they can't understand the language) "What the heck are you saying?" he looked for one of the people in the ship, "You there!" he points the man with a weird wristband, "What'd they say?" "Oh, hold on! They said they want our ship!" "Then tell them no!" The man quickly said to them, "We can't do that!"* the man in the middle responded.,"Then we'll take it forcefully!"*
"So Jason, is that weird wristband the reason why you can understand us, at the same time communicate with us?" I looked at the wristband, "Yeah, when you guys showed up we used minimum time on making this, if the world isn't more advanced as it once were, we would've taken years to make this." Amar was amazed, excited he asked, "how did you guys get so advanced?" I responded, "Oh, its was because of this meteor thingy that landed with some advanced technology inside of it, we've theorized that there may be other living beings in other planets." Amar confused, tried to process everything I said, "I'm kinda losing you here." (Welp, I tried.) "it's natural." (I wonder what happened to the ship, I was kind of surprised that they're not here.)
The next day, also known as the day where I had an actual fight. The sun was yet again the hottest it will ever be, the sound of screams from those who watch as the fight unfolds, and the way fighters use their energies skillfully to be able to win.
"Alright, we're here, I can do this." In the room where we wait, I was there sitting nervously waiting for my turn. Amar doing something else, turns his head to me with a questioning face, "O-oh, uh... I'm alright!" He squints his eyes, "Really, I'm fine!" "I see." And then it was time, before I stepped in to the arena, I stopped and asked whispered to myself a question, a question that I cannot find answers for. "Wait... why am I trying to get stronger? Why did I go all the way here to learn energy? It's not like living without magic is a bad thing?" I came back to my sense. I have no time to question why I came here, all that matters is fighting with my own strength and my own hard work! And there I go, I stepped in to the arena, facing my opponent.
In the place where they watched me fight, Amar and Aine had a conversation. "Hey, Aine!" Amar called for Aine to ask her a question, "You sure Jason won't awaken that spirit once more?" Aine replies, "I hope it doesnt!" Aine thinks to herself, "But you know..." and says to Amar, "If it comes back, that means its not a spirit." Amar was surprised, "Is that so?" "Yes." Aine responded, "The spirits that possessed living beings can't really control the body, nor can they stay alive." Amar realizes, "That means!" Aine nods, "It means that its either Jason having a split personality, or theres two of him in one body." Amar replies "I think I'll go with the "Two in one." instead of the other one." Aine wanted to know why Amar thinks its the most probable one, "Jason told me about "What to do if I've got a clone of myself who's evil." or something like that." Aine is thinking about what Amar just told her.
The fight started, we were at the middle of the arena and my opponent charged at me, but I blocked his fist with my sword. His fists were clean as it is covered in defensive energy, a smart move against someone using a sword. (Okay, my turn.) I covered the sword with truth energy and slashed his shoulder... the truth energy dissappeared before it hits my opponent's left shoulder, and the defensive energy was able to stop my sword with his left hand, and he follows up with a right hook. That punch staggered me, he jumped to punch me from above, but I blocked it and stumbled back. (Hmm... what should I do?) I rushed back to my opponent, I swung the sword in my left to his body, and followed up with a right to the head. The slash damaged my opponent, but the durability his defensive energy lessened the damage. He uses a strengthening energy and goes after me and winds up a right straight, I sent back through the power of that punch, and smoke covered the arena. (Where is he?) Out of nowhere he appeared, and threw a left hook to my cheek. (Ow! That hurt!) I felt that my right cheek had a cut, "it wouldn't be wise to show you this but..." I healed that cut with healing energy, "I have no choice!" My opponent was rather surprised, and had never fought someone who can heal themselves, on the other hand I was growing tired, and had not been used to fighting with energy. (Let me see what I can do.) I ran around trying to not get caught by my opponent's punches that might as well be able to crush my skull. Little by little my opponent was the one growing tired, the crowd was not ammused by my way of fighting, and then I attacked at the right time as my opponent was about to punch me, that's what you call a counter! (Dang it, I countered him but the defensive energy is so advanced it comes out naturaly!) I swung my sword and kept on slashing him, and the fight was back to me being tired. (If only I have more stamina, healing my stamina wouldn't even be enough, maybe there's a way to fight tired.) I kept on going even though I was getting tired, I was close, I was about to win my first fight... but then! *WHAM* my opponent threw a right hook that made me stumble, he follows it up with a left upper! He had me fall to my knees, I was going to lose again, but then... (You don't remember why you're here dont you?) (W-what the?) (You were bored, bored of this life, that's why you came here, isn't that right?) And then, I remembered, the true reason why I'm here, te true reason why I went to this Island to learn about energy, it was all, by pure, and utter boredom...
Outside a school, in recess, my friend asked me,"So... you're going there, that Island?" I responded, "It's the closest here, so it's the best option I have." A friend of mine told me, "Well, you can't stop a man who's got nothing to lose." I raised my hand to embrace the wind, "The cars, the kids, the smell of garbage, the letters we read in textbooks, the news we see in papers and online, one might say that they're the inventions humans made and or accidentally made to make things interesting, but to me, they are nothing and mean nothing, they are all meaningless!" (T-that, that's me?) While wondering, and wandering in the deepest part of my head, the other me took over and fought.
(So, Im back here once again. I have to be careful and not make them realize its me) I stood back up and heals the damage the punch gave me. I then stab my opponent in the chest, he was surprised that I was able to get back up and quickly stab him. The sword did not go through his chest, defensuve energy protected my opponent, however he was still surprised to see me. (Now then, let's see what you got..) He distanced humself from my opponent, he puts truth energy in his fists, he threw the swords at my opponent, and quickly closed the distance to deliver a blow to the head with a right hook, and a punch to the solar plexus. To void the incoming attacks of my opponent, he runs away and takes on of the swords, he then puts truth energy into it, and slashed it in my opponent's chest. This time it worked it did deal some damage, however the rules stated that if you injure someone the battle ends. (What? I'm not done yet!) Feeling down the other me seemed to just walk away trying not to make it seem like he was the one in control.
"Hey! It's Jason!" Amar said, "You did great!" Aine added "I didn't know you'd be able to pull that off!" I myself was surprised I would be able to do that without using dark energy, I wonder... A day where I get to control this body, amusing...
