"...GO!" Jack instantly jumps towards Kazama, he manages to dodge, he tries to hit Jack in the back, but Liam hits him with an unexpected kick to the back of the head. "Sneaky…" Kazama tries to return the favor, going to kick Liam, but Jack punches his sides. "Ahh! Fuck!" "Aren't so tough now, are you?" Jack spins and jumps in the air trying to kick Kazama, but Kazama ducks, going to grab his leg. But like a guardian deity, Liam throws Kazma to the ground. "Ahhh! Am I ever going to be able to hit youse!?" "Folks! This is their famous technique for winning so many matches! They do everything in their power not to get hit!"
Kazama wipes the blood away from his nose, "So you guys are pussies?" "What!?" Jack says, flying towards Kazama, Kazama doesn't dodge, he goes to punch Jack. Liam throws Kazama to the side of the ring, but it causes him to get punched by Jack. "Yo bro! Why'd you do that!?" Jack screams angry. Liam just wipes the dust off his shoulders, seemingly undamaged, "C'mon bro! Tell me!". "C'mon Jack, infighting now?" Jack looks to the right, Kazama is about to deck his face with a right hook, Liam punches Kazama away. "Ptoo! Clearly one is stronger than the other!" Kazama says, spitting out his tooth "In Fact Jack is so weak, it might as well be a 1 vs 1!" "HUH!?" Jack blurts out, clearly angry, "what'd you just say!?".
Jack runs towards Kazama, "If you get in my way Liam, I'll kill you! IMMA END HIS LIFE MYSELF!" "Hey, Jack, I developed a funny attack that you probably wont like too much, but I'll still show it to you."

"So, what'd you want to tell me Xavier?" Kazama asks, sitting down on the grass, "I want to power you up… let me draw a diagram" Xavier pulls along a whiteboard, with a graph on it, on the y axis, how much damage dealt, on the x axis, how much heat is used. He then draws 4 lines, each one progressively having a steeper slope up the y-axis than the previous. The one with the least damage dealt but most heat used, was a blue line. "This is Blue Heat, it is the worst type of heat, it is not worth using, especially if you can use better types of heat." He points to the one that does the 2nd least amount of damage, it is a purple line. "This is Purple Heat, it is the second worst type of heat, the worst part is, if you're not used to using it, it can cause you to run out of breath immediately, and pretty much lose the fight." He points to the next one, it is a green line, he explains about Green Heat. He points to the final line, it is red, "This is Red Heat, and I don't know how to show you the difference between Green and Red heat. I'll give you some base multipliers that experts use. Purple Heat is roughly 25x stronger than Blue, Green Heat is roughly 230x stronger than Purple, and red is roughly 4,000x stronger than Green. So Red heat is roughly 23 million times stronger than Blue. But, I'm not done… Black Heat is by far the most powerful, but you will exert so much energy that, if you live, will put you into the hospital for 6, maybe 7, months. It is roughly 10 million times stronger than red heat" Xavier explains, "So, you're gonna try to make me learn these stronger forms of heat?" Kazama asks, "Yup!"
Colosseum
"What technique would that be weakling!?" Jack screams cockily. Kazama balls his right hand into a fist, he cups his left hand over it, he funnels heat from his left hand into his right. His right hand is enveloped in blue heat, Jack envelops his own hand in blue heat. But slowly Kazama's heat slowly changes color, it turns purple. "Huh? Why is it purple!" "JACK, RUN!" Liam screams for the first time, Jack listening to his instincts, jumps out of the way, "DAWN RENDER!!!" Kazama punches the air. The airwaves hit Jack, the only thing left was blood and 3 fingers. Kazama starts maniacally laughing, but it catches up to him and he instantly starts hurting all over. The crowd starts booing loudly, "Contestant Jack Wilis has been eliminated in one punch!"
Liam runs over to the pool of blood, clearly crying, "Jack! No! NO!" He starts viciously punching the ground "NOOOOO!". He swiftly stands up, and looks at Kazama, "you must die". Liam curls up his fist, it's covered in purple heat. "W-wait! Let me catch my breath!" Kazama pleads, still out of breath, and his body still in pain. Liam, clearly not listening, jumps off the ground flying towards Kazama, "wait!" Kazama screams, his body not moving, "Soulwhisper" Liam says his attack name, his fist collides with Kazama's stomach. This attack is most definitely the most powerful attack he's ever felt, all of his ribs are broken, his eyes roll to the back of his head. He is flung into the wall, breaking it, the only reason why he didn't fly through it is because he grabbed the wall. He climbs back through and vomits up a ton of blood, "I'm not going out just yet!" Kazama exclaims, wiping the blood from his mouth and nose. "I'll wipe that smirk off of your face!". Kazama could tell his body was adjusting to the purple heat, the first time he used it, he was out for 4 hours.
Liam charges his fist with purple heat, Kazama the same, their fists collide, the ground breaks under their feet. "FOLKS! DUCK YOUR HEADS! THE BUILDING IS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE!" The announcer screams in fear. Kazama can feel his muscles straining under the pressure, this is the most pressure he's ever felt, he knows if he didn't train with Xavier he would be dead now. Debris is falling from the ceiling, it starts hitting and killing civilians, so civilians start evacuating. Kazama shouts in pain, as his body is about to give up from using so much purple heat, so he tries one last stunt to win, he changes his stance and utilizes a trick that Xavier taught him. If he imagines every fiber in his body being rung out like a wet towel, your attack will use absolutely every piece of heat in your body. Kazama over powers Liam, Liam's fist explodes into a bunch of bones and blood. "AH! BITCH!" Liam screams cradling his hand, but Kazama falls face first onto the ground, he is conscious, but he cannot influence his body at all, it's like he's paralyzed but can't even move his eyes.
"Haha! Your body is so weak! No wonder you got your girlfriend killed!" what? Kazamas world just collapsed, he was so sure his girlfriend was alive, but apparently he got her killed!? Is this like how he killed 100,000 people!? He feels sick. He feels angry. He wants to kill. Kill. KILL. KILL. KILL.
12:10 PM January 29th
"Ok, so this will be very easy to explain. We transform." "What?" "Your first 2, 3 times transforming will be an emotional response, and you probably won't remember it. But. You can eventually master it, once you learn how to efficiently use green heat." "Well, how strong is this transformation?" "depends, see, it changes. The green heat form is the weakest, then you have the red heat form, and the strongest, the black heat form. Thing is, that the black heat form has no drawbacks, you can activate it, use black heat, and be perfectly fine afterwards. BUT! These people are already 1 in 50 million, but there is a reason I'm so interested in you, there are certain people that can go higher."
"Something higher than black heat?" Kazama asks, confused "They have a mystical white form past that. Of course there are certain people who have even higher than that but it doesn't matter as there are only 14 known people with higher than white form, and only 2 known people with higher than that." "Who are they?" "Shijima Teika, head of the Japanese Yakuza Teika Family, the other is, I believe he goes by yung thugga. The C.I.A. keeps on lookout at all times and always has agents following them, as they could easily cause a global catastrophe single-handedly." Xavier scratches his chin "If I'm honest, you'll probably transform for the first time in this fight, as their fighting style is really annoying, and since Liam can transform himself, it could be a problem."
"Oh yeah, do these transformations have a name?" Kazama asks inquisitively, "Oh yeah, forgot about that. Mugenka, Blue Heat, Shinmugenka, Purple Heat, Shuukyouka, Green Heat, Jigenka, Red Heat, Kyuukyokuka, black heat, Eienmugenka, white form, Shin'eimugenka, Gold form, Mutekishinmugenka, Silver form." Xavier informs, a smile constantly broadening his face."I'mma be honest with you… I'm prolly just gon' remember Mugenka, Shinmugenka, and Shuuukyouka. That's a lot of names."
Colosseum
From Liams perspective, Kazama was enveloped in a black orb, almost like a black hole. The amount of heat released knocked Liam on his feet, but after 20ish seconds… KABOOM!!!... Kazama stood there, enveloped in a green aura of heat. "Gulp… so you can transform as well…" Liam says, wiping the sweat drenching his brow. Kazama stood there, his face black, you can make out no features, his hair spiked up from the sheer pressure of the aura. The floor beneath him cracked open. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring Liam was slumped on the ground from the pressure. He stood up, using all his power, and he screams out "Mugenka!". Liam's body gets lifted into the air, the pressure clashing with Kazama's. Liam's clothes were ripped off of him, his body started to morph into a weird shape. The blue heat surrounding him. His body shot out multiple limbs, his canine teeth growing about 3 meters tall, his jaw widening and stiffening to accommodate for the change. His hair spiked up, his eyes turned red. His body elongated, he readjusted his posture, as if on all fours. His hands and feet turned into short, stubby, massive stubs. And finally, with a bone chilling shriek, Liam lands down onto the ground.
Xavier, one of the only two left in the stands, put his hand on his forehead, "Shit, I forgot to mention how if you master a form you get a massive power boost." he mumbles into his hand.
See, at first once you transform into a new form you'll be crazy, but you'll be weaker. If you're able to keep your sanity in that form, you'll unlock it's true power, this is called Mastering. So an unmastered Shuuukyouka, wouldn't be stronger than a mastered Mugenka. They'd be close, yes, but the Mugenka would come out on top.
"Hey! Kazama just focus on dodging!" Xavier shouts out advice, hoping for some reason, it would break through and Kazama would absorb the info. It didn't work. 'Should I just kill Liam and say that Kazama won through brute force. I can't lose this student.' Xavier thinks, but then he comes up with an idea. 'Wait, this is good training no matter what! Ahh… What the fuck am I thinking, he won't remember any of this. It's only his second time transforming, there's no shot he masters his form in only his second transformation!' Xavier finally decides, he sticks up his hand, he creates a ball of Black Heat and is prepared to fire it at Liam in his new form.
"Stop"
Xavier feels a blade on his neck, he looks behind him, his face turns ghastly white like he saw a ghost. "H-Hana? What are you doing here?"
"You need to let them fight Xavier. Or I'll kill you."
Xavier gets rid of the black heat, "Ok ok! I won't do anything to upset you" Xavier crosses his arms as if discontent. Hana moves so fast to the other side of the colosseum that it looks like she teleported to Xavier.
Meanwhile, in the ring their heat clashed causing destruction everywhere. "Hehe! You know you can't win!" Liam calls out mockingly, but Kazama just stands there, unable to process anything. Kazama moves in throwing punches at Liam's unearthly form, Liam easily dodges it without breaking a sweat. He swings his massive tail and it hits Kazama in the face, flinging him into the stands. Kazama jumps back into the ring, he forms a ball of green heat and throws it at Liam. It hits him head on, "Harden!" Liam calls out, he takes no damage from the attack.
Xavier shivers in fear, he has convinced himself that his student is dead no matter what, but he was 100% sure after this. "I didn't have enough time to train that boy." See an even smaller portion of people who can transform, have things called attributes. They are basically special abilities that once activated give them a serious edge in battle. In Liam's case, it seems he can harden his body, maybe it absorbs all damage, maybe it just absorbs a lot of damage, maybe there is a use limit. But no matter what Kazama will be dispatched before his ability runs out if it does have a use limit.
Liam charges at Kazama, "Harden!" The top of his head becomes coated in a shell. He headbuts Kazama, it is a devastating attack, Kazama is once again flung into the stands. Xavier catches him, Kazama is in his human form, nearly unconscious, he is completely drenched in blood. "Xavier, I can win" Kazama says weakly, "What the fuck kid!? Look at you! No you can't!" Xavier screams at him. "You know, I've found a weird attraction to growing stronger since I got here. At first I thought I should join the C.I.A, like you, but you, and everyone else looks miserable. I want to get stronger on my own terms, not following someone's orders all day. So, I've decided I'm gonna be a Yakuza, and I'll be the best one ever, so how about, as a friend, you believe in me for a second Xavier?" Kazama asks, Xavier takes a second to think, why is he in this job? He doesn't enjoy it. The people giving him orders, he could destroy them all in a single punch. The only fun he has is using his superior strength on women, which is cowardly, all because he can't have fun in this job. "You know what, sure." He finally agrees to let Kazama do his thing.
Kazama stumbles to his feet, he squats down and mutters "Shuukyouka." His body starts transforming, his body turning a majestic white, he grows 15 odd feet tall. 4 massive white horns grow out of his head. His arms enlarge, his voice slow and angelic, he speaks "I figured it out Xavier, I had to channel my anger, I was angry for the sake of being angry, but now I'm channeling it to kill him, to honor my lost loved ones. After all, how can I become a Yakuza if I die here?" Kazama jumps back into the ring. "W-WAIT! IT WASN'T THAT SERIOUS! I WASN'T GONNA KILL YOU!" Liam pleads trying to crawl away.
"Odin." Kazama speaks his attribute, a massive sword called Odin spawns in his hands, he coats it in Green Heat. "SKARDR" Kazama calls out his attack name "HARDEN! HAHA! MY HARDERN CAN BLOCK ANY ATTA-" His speech is cut off by him getting cut in half, but the space between his two halves was pitch black. "Odin, is a sword that cuts reality." Xavier is bewildered that his pupil mastered his transformation on his 3rd time, but also has an ability that can cut reality. "Grotheim." A needle appears in Kazama's other hand, he stitches together the fissure in reality
Xavier is speechless, one in 10 people who can transform have an attribute, but the numeric for people who have two attributes is one in 10,000 of attribute havers. And Kazama has two attributes! And they're that powerful! He runs down to Kazama, who has returned to his human form and is drenched in blood, "I lub you Kathama!" Xavier truly hit the jackpot, in Xaviers mind he thought Kazama was truly blessed by the God's.
Xavier clutches his body, but as he looks down, he realizes Kazama is unconscious. "Eep!", Hana floats down to the ring, "What are you doing here Hana!? You left us and me to join them ages ago!" Xavier shouts, his voice clearly angry for some reason. "Ahh, Xavi you clearly aren't any more mature than when I was here~" She clearly says mockingly, "Only my best friends can call me that, you aren't that anymore!" "woah, someone has a bad temper!" She mocks while trying not to laugh. "Ugh! Just tell me why you're here!" Xavier shouts, clearly losing patience. "Well, the Boss told me to keep an eye on him" She pointed to Kazama, "I was~ gonna try to become his girlfriend, but he transformed into a Shuukyouka way earlier than predicted, so I had to drop that. So I'll just follow him in the shadows, and if you tell him about me, I'll kill you." Shivers are sent down Xavier's spine, and he loses his breath for a second.
"I was always your better half, I just excel at everything, and you're just mediocre." Hana teases as she pulls out a lollipop and starts sucking on it. All that Xavier could think about is how he was right about Kazama if he wants someone to follow him. "Well, can you go? I don't feel safe turning around, you'd probably kill one of us." "I'm waiting for my sister, she's leaving the C.I.A. to join us". "I didn't know you had a sister.." Xavier states, obviously hinting at her to tell him who her sister is. "Oh! There she is!" Hana starts waving towards her sister, Xavier looks towards the sister, little did he know, Georgina was walking that way waving to Hana.
"I heard what you did to my sister, you freak." Hana spits condescendingly, "But~ My sister has been ever so kind as to propose a proposal. And P.S. If you reject it, you and that boy will die." This is great, he has to choose between death and Kazama and Xavier living. After contemplating it, Georgina finally arrived at the group, "Well then, tell me the proposal." Hana's and Georgina's faces light up with sinister grins. "Here it is. You train that boy, as you have, but in 2 months, he will fight Georgina here, who I will train in that time." Xavier thinks this over, in 2 months, can he train Kazama to be stronger than a pupil of Hana? "Fine I ac-" "HUSH! I'm not done. If your boy wins, we will teach him The Ability, but, if Georgina wins, he has to marry her." As their laughter descends on Xavier, he feels sick, he doesn't know if he can make this decision on Kazama's behalf. After a long time thinking, and gathering his resolve, he decides he'd rather them both die here, than the option of Kazama potentially marrying a family member of Hana. He stands up and clears his throat "N-" "Yes!" Kazama speaks over him, Xavier is shocked, "I will take this proposal."
Kazama proclaims standing up, besides his leg gushing out blood from the pressure on it. Hana's face turns from distorted pleasure to disgust, "fine, whatever. You'll get destroyed." "Hana-san, Georgina, I thought you two were some good ones. But as it is now, go fuck yourself. I'll continue to grow at this rate, no fuck that, I'll grow my strength 10x faster!" Kazama proclaims, his right leg shaking from the blood loss, Xavier goes in and holds him up. "Well, You're a ballsy one aren't ya. Also drop the 'San' part, I'm full-blooded American. Bye!" Hana and Georgina walk off, fairly pleased with that. Kazama collapses right back onto his face, knocked out. Xavier carries him to the doctor…
