A teenage boy and his mentor clash swords as it is the boy's training period. The mentor gives a quick glance around the environment trying to get the jump on his pupil. The boy sees this and mocks him, "what's the matter old man? Has the student became the master?" he says confidently wielding both of his swords. Knowing he isn't expecting to be shot his mentor signal's the boy's father who happens to be passing by with his rifle in hand.

His father shoots him in the leg downing him and giving the mentor a chance to run at the boy and put his blade at the boy's neck. "Do you yield?" "Tch you won by a cheap shot." The mentor laugh's, "That may be so but your targets are not going to care about fair or unfair, it's your responsibility to be aware of your surroundings Raiku." Raiku pushes his mentors blade away from his neck in annoyance.

"I Know La Gudia, I know...I'll never be worthy of my mother's blades, especially at this rate." Raiku bows his head with slight disrespect as he sheathes his swords and walks away. On his way back to his family villa the village alarm sounds, notifying him that it was time for this month's attack by the White Fang. "One of these days my people and family will never have to deal with these scum again." says Raiku with a slight growl.

Raiku pulls his hood up over his eyes, only to where he can see out but the white fang grunts can't see in. Knowing all too well what Raiku is planning, his father calls to him to both check on him and to make sure he doesn't act out violently because if he did there could be serious consequences.

"What do you scumbags want this time?" Growls Raiku. "Well well well, if it isn't Raiku...you've been giving us problems for a while now. Maybe it's time to remove a thorn from our side." Raiku draws his swords, readying himself for a fight. "Raiku stand down now!" his father shouts. "These animals have been pushing our clan around for far too long! It's time we fight back!" Raiku shouted in response.

"You think you can keep up with the big dogs?! Then prepare yourself fool!" says the white fang commander causing Raiku to charge him, blades drawn and anger rising. The commander sees this obvious attack and simply side-steps Raiku, sending him crashing into the group of white fang like a bowling ball hitting pins.

"Was that the best you got human scum? I've seen better attacks from a 5 year old!" mockes the commander. Raiku regain's his stance before using his semblance, "Tempo Rallenta." Raiku whispers as everything around seems to slow. "Heh, now I've got ya where I want ya."

Raiku charged at his opponent while his spell was still active just to have the commander block yet again but this time Raiku took his other sword and thrust it into the commander's stomach effectively killing him. He deactivated his semblance, releasing his spell, thinking he had won this battle. But to raiku's surprise the rest of the white fang charged him and was able to knock him out with multiple blows to his skull.

When Raiku regained consciousness he could hear screams of his people as his were slaughtered around him. He was able to open slightly to see his father fighting for his life only to get stabbed in the back. Raiku reached towards his father wanting to help him but he blacked out again.

Hour's later Raiku wakes up again, still too weak to move so he laid there helpless as he watched his entire village burn. But as he laid there, he saw what looked to be an ursa through the fog and smoke of his burning village.

This was no normal ursa, this ursa was 3 times the size of an ursa major, with beady red eyes that one would only see in a horror movie, and Raiku saw his mentor, trading blows with what Raiku hoped was only an illusion as he fell back to sleep
