Unsung Hero's
"The Departure"
Naim trained for six days strait. Never stopping except to sleep and eat at sundown for a couple hours. On the last day before the departure Naim trained his hardest perfecting at everything that his Master Lightning had time to teach him. Upon finishing his training Master Lightning stood before Naim and bestowed his old z-blade upon Naim.
"What are you doing Master Lightning?"
"Naim you are the most dedicated warrior that I have seen in a long time." "And you have brought new found hope into my world. So I would like to give you my z-blade as a token of my appreciation."
"Master I do want it but I just can't accept it. I don't feel as if I have earned it."
"Ok then well how about you do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Fight me…and if you win I'll give you the blade then."
"Master it doesn't seen fair."
"Ok then I'll make it even easier. I'll tie my hand around my back."
"What!! You're a crazy old man."
"Sounds like your punking out. Chicken." "Bawk..Bawk..Bawk"
"- Ok old man u asked for it."
Master Lightning kept his promise and tied his right hand behind his back. Then charged towards Naim. Then Naim not realizing that Master Lightning still had his tremendous speed didn't even react. Master Lightning yank out his dagger and, using the flat side of the blade, smacked Naim on the side of his head. Sending him flying into a nearby boulder.
"Are you going to make it this easy for me?"
Naim managed to muster enough energy to stand up and draw his blade. Naim was bleeding terribly and started to cough up blood.
"Ok I admit I underestimated you but it won't happen again."
At that moment Naim charged his master. Naim swung his with the flat side facing his master. But Master Lightning was too quick for Naim and easily dodged his attack. Master Lightning was so quick that he had broke Naim's unused arm before Naim could even finish his swing. The shock of pain circulated throughout Naim's body causing him to scream.
"Ahhhhhhh…..hugh…uh….you BASTARD!!!"
"Naim your making this too easy." "I'm not going to hold back anymore if you can't defeat me your not fit to live and I'm going to kill you!!!"
Master Lightning charged at Naim. Naim's life flashed before his eyes and the image of his sister flashed before him. He awoke from his daydream to the sight of Master Lightning's blade striking downward from the air towards Naim. Using new found energy Naim leaped out the way. As Naim leaped the blade of Master Lightning came crashing down to the ground, Causing a ripple in the earth. Then the earth to split and form a shockwave witch started to work its way up to Naim. Then using lower body strength Naim leaped out the way and retaliated with a quick blow to Master Lightning's side, still using the flat side of his blade.
"You will never win Naim!"
"Why do you think that?"
"Because your afraid to die instead of just embracing it."
"You think so? Is that all?"
"No, your also afraid to kill. And your in the big leagues now its kill or be killed!"
With that statement Naim realized he would have to kill Master Lightning to survive. Naim trusted his blade high into the air and rushed towards Master Lightning leaving his blade to begin its decent. He attempted to sweep Master Lightning's legs from under him but Master Lightning saw it coming. But Naim expected Master Lightning's reaction and retaliated with a hard punch to the spine which connected. Master Lightning was sent flying and attempted to recover by flipping but as his back was facing the sky Naim's blade finally fell. Slicing through Master Lightning's back and stomach only stopping when it landed into the earth. Master Lightning was pinned to the ground and the only thing keeping him from bleeding to death was the position of the blade. He still managed to crack a smile at the ingenuity of Naim. Naim, with his head pointed down to show his sorrow, walked slowly towards Master Lightning an then quickly removed his blade from Master Lightning. Master Lightning then tossed his z-blade towards Naim and whispered take care. Suddenly a Master Lightning's lungs stopped and with his last deep breathe he shouted to Naim.
" Kanashimi take care of the boy."
