Chapter2. Training.

"Vladimir, I strongly recommend you to land now."-Angel's voice sounded in my head after about twenty minutes of flight. She was really concerned.

"Why? I feel fine and…"-then I felt it. My body twisted in an unimaginable pain. It was almost impossible to bear. I made rough landing near some cave in a jungle, turned to my normal look and clutched my chest, hoping that pain will go away soon. "It seems I can't use this power well yet."- I gasped in pain.

"I doubt you'll be able to use it soon. Your body didn't transform completely."

"What do you mean? There will be other changes?"- I asked.

"Yes, right now your body can't handle all the new energy in your body. It to grow and expand in right places."

"So I'll have bigger muscles. Got it". – I laughed quietly.

"Yes, now sleep".

"Wait, I didn't get inside the cave yet…" And then I fell asleep right at the place where I stood at the entrance of the cave.

"Two weeks have past, several dozen martial arts learned and my transformation is still incomplete. Any particular reasons, Angel? ... Angel?"

"Ehhh, it seems I made a mistake."-she says confused.

"What mistake? I won't make a gender-bender thing, right? Please, tell me I won't turn into a chick. PPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLEEE EEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSSSSEEEE EEEEEEE!"- I started to begging, crying and rolling on the ground.

"WHAT?! No, no, it's nothing like that! It's just… Well, it becomes easy for me to feel your emotions and read your mind."-she assures me.

"Hm, that's why … And I thought that I was getting crazy."-I murmured.

"What do you mean?"-Angel asked.

"It seems I can read your mind too…".Then I started counting. "3, 2, 1".

"WHAT!?"

"Today is a good day for exclamations and revelations, don't you think?"-I voiced my thoughts. "I think it's actually good. We won't have secrets from each other, our mutual understanding will be better. Plus, I think I'll be able to make you open up a bit. You are a bit too serious. So, what will you say, partner?"- I stressed the word partner, hoping to get some response.

"Well, that sounds good, partner."- She answered back.

I smile. "I think it's a start of a beautiful friendship, Angel."

Another two weeks passed, and finally I could say I was ready. Four weeks of survival came to an end. As it turned out I was somewhere in the jungles of South America. Using some sharpened stones I was able to make a wooden spear for hunting, and a bo-staff for training. There was a lake of fresh water in the cave, so I didn't suffer from thirst.

Training was another thing. Angel "downloaded" the moves in my head. Yes, like in MATRIX. Yes, all fighters. Except Kuma, Panda, Alisa, Ogre and Gon. Kuma and Panda were too big. Gon was too small. I couldn't replicate Alisa's exploding head. Yeah, that simple. But I knew all other styles pretty well. Before you say it was cheating, you must realize why I trained one month. I worked over the muscle memory, drilling every move in my body. Yes, one month was really small time to learn all those moves, but thanks to Angel's body transformations it wasn't impossible. Just really hard. Thanks to the constant workouts I became more muscular and more agile. the real problems were footwork and balance, but thanks to Kick-Boxing, Boxing and Capoeira training helped a lot, so I got them down soon enough. Then on the fourth week I started creating my own style, in order to improve as a fighter. When Angel saw first moves she asked whether I was stupid, drunk or on meds. But soon she realized what I was trying to do and started helping me. But at that moment of leaving it was still not complete. There was also two moves from another universes I was able to use. First one was "Izuna drop" from DEAD OR ALIVE franchise. The second one was created by me together with Angel. She taught me how to concentrate my inner energy in any part of my body making it stronger. At that time an idea came to me. I thought about releasing all this energy at once. Thus "Mystical Shockwave" was created. It was strong it had great range, but it was very taxing. Really taxing. After the first use I nearly fainted. This is my ace in my sleeve.

I couldn't transform into, as I dubbed it, wraith form yet. Physically I was ready, but not mentally. Angel explained it was not the right time yet.

I was ready for the big world outside the cave. I wanted fights, adventures. But suddenly I realized I didn't have a reason for fighting in this world. I didn't have any friends or relatives in this world. I was alone. Angel didn't count. "Well then"-I said. "I'll find my reasons, my dreams, my place in this world, and when I'll find what I desire, I'll never let it go!"-I proclaim proudly.

TEKKEN world-here I come!
