"Rising From Beyond The Ashes, A Big Dragon Emerges, As It Dances Through The Scorched Earth… And Realizes It's True Purpose"
Their Training Begins!!!
Inside Of The Main Dojo Of The Flame Faction's Village, Jason And Kaida Begin Their Training.
They Both Stand Facing Each Other, Determination Etched On Each Of Their Faces… As They Get Into Their Fighting Stances.
Kaida(Serious, Focused): Close Your Eyes Jason… And Try To Picture A Flame Inside Of Yourself.
Jason Then Closes His Eyes, As He Pictures A Flame Inside Of His Body… Big And Uncontrolled.
Meanwhile, Kaida Ready's Herself… As She Makes The First Move.
She Slides On The Floor, Flames Igniting Beneath Her Bare Feet… As She Summons Flames On Her Right Hand's Palm, And Throws A Slapping Punch At Jason… Which He Parries, And Attempts To Do The Same.
He Closes His Eyes, And Summons Hellfire Flames In His Palm. He Throws A Slapping Punch Back At Kaida, Which She Grabs His Wrist And Holds It Up As She Swirls Behind Him And Plants Her Other Hand On Jason's Back While The Other Continues To Hold His Arm.
Kaida(Serious, Firm): Your Flame Is Uncontrolled. And Wild, You Have To Clear Your Mind In Order To Control It.
Jason Then Sweeps His Leg Right At Kaida's Leg, In An Attempt To Sweep Her Off Her Feet. As Kaida Quickly Lifts Up Her Leg And Picks Up Jason By His Arm And Slams Him On The Floor.
Kaida(Impressed, Coaching): Your Adaptability To Your Opponents Fighting Style Is Impressive… But You Have To Learn Not To Overwhelm Your Mind With Too Many Strategies, And Try To Just Block Out All Outside Distractions, And Just Focus You're Entire Being, Mind, Heart And Soul Into The Fight Against Your Opponent Alone.
Jason Sweeps Both His Legs Around In A Circle, And Manages To Sweep Kaida Off Her Feet…
As She Lands On Top Of Him, Their Faces Inches Away…
Jason(Curious): How Was That?
Kaida Smirks, As She Scoffs.
Kaida(Impressed, Smirking): Not Bad…
Kaida Then Pushes Jason Backwards, And Gets Up…
Kaida(Serious): You're Flame Is Still Small… But It's Very Powerful, Let's Go Out In The Training Fields… The Next Step Of Our Training Is Gonna Get More Intense, And I Can Teach You How To Use That Technique I Used At The Tournament.
Jason Grins…
Jason(Curious): By More Intense, Do You Mean That You're Going To See How Well I Do In Keeping Calm In Intense Situations?
Kaida(Nodding): Yes. Flame Dancing Does Require You To Be Calm… And I know You're Well Aware Of This, But In A Real Battle. Your Opponents Are Obviously Going To Pressure You And My Father Is Definetly Going To Overwhelm Us With His Army Of Sorcerers.
Kaida(Looking Off, A Slight Frown On Her Face): When I Fought Against Him Two Days Ago, I Panicked And That's Why I Lost… I Have To Make Sure That Doesn't Happen Again… Or At Least, Keep Control Of My Panic.
Jason Nods, As The Two Make Way To An Open Field… As Kaida And Jason Stand Face To Face On Opposite Sides.
Kaida(Serious): We're Gonna Fight For real… I'm Going To Fight You Now As If I'm Fighting An Enemy.
Jason Nods, As Kaida Summons Flames At The Bottom Of Her Feet And Slides Right Toward Jason…
Jason(Internally, Analyzing): So Quick! I Didn't Even See Her Move!
Kaida Then Opens Her Palm And Plants It Into Jason's Stomach…
Jason(Internally, Grunting): Damn… I Knew Kaida Was Stronger Than Me, But I Didn't Realize How Strong She Was When She Got Seriou-
Before Jason Could Even Finish Thinking, Kaida Rapidly Spins Around, With Fire And Smoke Rapidly Encasing Her Inside A Barrier…
Stones On The Ground Begin Floating Inside Of The Flaming Barrier, As They Then Make Their Way Toward Jason…
Kaida(Focused, Serious): Stone Storm Technique!!!
Jason Swiftly Dodges The Oncoming Stones, And Jumps Into The Air…
Jason(Overwhelmed, Eyes Slightly Widened): ?!
The Smoke And Fire Then Get Pulled Into The Center Of Inside Of The Barrier, As Kaida Puts Her Hands Over Each Other… And A Swirling Ball Of Fire Forms In Between Her Palms.
She Extends Her Arms And Pulls The Fire With Her Index And Middle Finger, Back As The Fire Lengthens Into An Arrow Shape.
Jason's Breath Catches In His Throat…
Jason(Internally, Analyzing): The Heat She's Generating From Her Body, Is Overwhelming Me!
Kaida(Internally, One Eye Closed, The Other Slightly Open): Inferno Technique: Maximum Output…
Kaida(Internally, One Eye Closed, The Other Slightly Open): Shooting Star.
Kaida Then Releases The Arrow Shaped Fire, As Jason Quickly Summons A Black Hole In Hovering Over His Hand…
Kaida(Internally, Serious): This Is The Second Time I've Used "Shooting Star" At Maximum Output… It Moves At A Speed Faster Than The Speed Which Light Travels… He Should Be Able To Dodge This With Ease.
Jason Then With The Black Hole Over His Right Hand, Fly's Straight At The Shooting Star Attack And Aims His Black Hole At It…
The Attack Then Gets Absorbed By The Black Hole, As Jason Then Quickly Gets In Front Of Kaida… Their Faces Inches Away From Each Other.
Kaida Then Grabs Jason's Arm And Pulls Him Down, And Behind Her… As She Then Spins Him Around Herself.
Jason Then Summon's Hellfire At His Feet, And Pulls Himself At The Ground…
Kaida(Internally, Impressed): He's Beginning To Subconsciously Utilizing Flame Dancing And Incorporating It Into His Own Fighting Style?!
Jason Then Sweeps Kaida Off Her Feet, And Then Launches Himself Into The Air…
Jason Then Descends Down At Full Speed, And Focused His Chaos Energy All Into His Feet…
However Kaida Then Focuses Her Soul's Flames At Her Feet And Blasts Herself Backwards And Out Of The Way…
As Jason Stomps The Ground, And Destroy's A Part Of It.
Kaida(Perceptive, Unfazed): ?!
Jason Appears Behind Kaida And Before She Can Even Turn Her Head, Summons Hellfire Engulfing His Entire Left Arm…
Meanwhile Kaida Then Does The Same And Engulf's Her Left Arm In Flame's, And The Two Connect…
A Sum Of Smoke Then Seeps Through The Field, As Jason Jumps Back…
Jason(Internally, Focused): That Was Smart, She Immediately Thought To Copy What I Was Doing So She Could Use Smoke To Hide Her Presence… And Now I Don't Know Where She Is.
Kaida(Internally, Serious): It's Clear That Jason's Holding Back Against Me Right Now, He Could've Ended The Fight Already By Now If He Wasn't…
Kaida(Internally, Serious): We're Both Going To Get Stronger Together… So I'm Gonna Use My Full Power Into This Attack, And You Do The Same.
Kaida Then Shoots Up Fire Into The Air… And Clears Out A Small Part Of The Smoke In The Air… Revealing The Sun!
The Sunlight Then Hits Kaida's Skin, As Let's Down Her Upper Clothing… The Bandages Covering Her Chest Showing…
As She Inhales All Of The Smoke, And In An Instant… All The Smoke Vanishes From The Field.
Kaida Gets Down, And Puts Both Of Her Hands On The Ground… As Fire Blanket's The Ground Beneath Them.
Jason Then Instinctively Fly's Up… His Eyes Focused On Kaida.
Kaida(Internally, Serious): Use You're Full Power Jason… Not Malum's, But You're Own Power.
Kaida(Internally, Focused): You Said It Yourself, We're Gonna Get Stronger Together… Show Me You're Resolve!
Jason(Internally, Eyes Widened): This Is-
Jason's Chaos Energy Output Then Skyrockets… Kaida Squints Her Eye's At The Amount Of Chaos Energy He's Charging…
Kaida(Grunting, Internally): This Chaos Energy… It's So Heavy! How Can Someone Have This Much Energy, And Not Destroy Their Body?!
Jason Then Summons A Black Hole And Stretches It Around His Body… While Simultaneously Engulfing His Body With Hellfire!
Kaida(Internally, Surprised/Impressed): He's Using And Offense And Defense Simultaneously… The Black Hole Wrapped Around His Body Is To Absorb As Much Damage While The Hellfire Is For Attacking… That's Just Ridiculous.
Jason Then Begins Charging Right At Kaida, And Un-Percievibal Speeds… As Kaida Launches Her Attack!!!
Kaida(Internally, Serious): You Said You Wanted To Learn This Technique, So Watch Carefully!
Kaida(Chanting, Calmly): Fire Release: Raging Mountain Of The Five Flame Gods!
Then A Massive Sum Of Fire Erupts From The Ground Which Covers The Entire Area, The Size Of A Mountain!
Jason And Kaida's Attacks Clash And Cause A Nearby Mountain To Blow Up, And Splits The Sky!
Moments Pass, As The Smoke Disappears… Revealing Jason Lying On The Ground Heavily Breathing With Minimum Damage Done To Him…
Kaida Lies Next To Him, Bruises On Her Stomach And Arms As She Breathes Heavily…
Kaida(Head Turned, Nonchalant): I Think We Overdid It A Little.
Jason(Curious) Are We Gonna Get Scolded For Destroying That Mountain?
Kaida(Shrugging, Yawning): Probably… I Dunno.
Suddenly Selene Shows Up, Laughing At The Sight Of Jason On The Ground…
Selene(Laughing, Nonchalant): I Get Out Of That Infirmary Bed To Find You Laid Out Like A Dead Fish… Ha!
Kaida Giggles, Before Bursting Out In Laughter.
Kaida(Laughing, Eyes Watering): Miss Selene's Right… You Kinda Do Look Like A Dead Fish, Ha Ha.
Jason Yawns…
Jason(Shrugging): Can We Go Eat Already? I'm Hungry.
Kaida(Nodding): Yeah Sure.
Kaida(Applauding, Impressed): And You Did Really Good Today… You've Shown That You Can Defend Pretty Well Against My Technique So It'll Be Easier Teaching It To You… We'll Start Tomorrow.
Jason Sits Up And Stretches His Arms, And Cracks His Knuckles… As Does Kaida.
Jason(Curious): How About You Join Us Selene?
Selene(Nodding): Sure, There's Something I Need To Talk To You About Anyway.
To Be Continued, In Chapter 69…
