Fire Chapter
Episode 7: Kel vs. Jin
"Hahahahahahhaah!! Pwahahahaha!!" Jin laughed holding his side with his left hand while keeping a firm grasp on his fire element naginata. "You...beat me...that ain't happenin'."
"Oh man this guy is annoying...hurry up and deal with him." Baku said floating out of my vest. With Bakus' sudden appearance it caught Jin's attention and he raised an eyebrow.
"A Sacred Tome...I see...your a Million Magister. Whoa! I never thought I'd run into a Million Magister." He said pointing his naginata at us. "Million Magisters are suppose to be the strongest Mages alive with over one million magic techniques and spells."
" That's right so you better watch your step bub." Baku shouted.
"Whoa...the Sacred Tome can talk?" Jin asked with wide eyes.
" Of course I can you low classed punk of a mage." Baku replied narrowing his eyes.
" This should be pretty interestin I never fought a Million Magister before." Jin resting his torch naginata on his shoulder.
" Why?" I asked balling up my fists.
"Hm?" Jin raised an eyebrow.
"Why are you torchin' this jungle? Why? The Golmore Jungle is one of Ivalice' great monumental sites...why would you burn this sacred place down?" I asked pointing at him.
"Just followin' orders, the big guy upstairs wanted this place burned so I torch it." He said with a shrug.
"And by the big guy you mean Vayne." Baku said.
" Yup." Jin replied. "I got no idea why he wants it...oh yeah I do...I almost forgot we're building a Nethicite mine here. Ever since Dr.Cid found out about the mist collected here in the so called 'Wood' I've been ordered to see if the soil is rich for manufacturin' Nethicite."
"Nethicite...that must be it." Baku said to himself.
"What?" I asked looking up at him.
"It must by why this prick's magical power is so high. He's using Nethicite to boost his powers...I can feel it." Baku explained.
" Doesn't matter to me what he's using. Alright listen up, we can do this the easy way...or the hard way." I said punching into my palm and cracking my knuckles.
" Oh I'm quite fond of the hard way." Jin said spinning his torch naginata in his right hand as a red seal appeared under him and his body glen with a red aura.
"Crap he's casting..." I said starting to run but then I rememebered Bruno was laid out just behind me and I can't risk Baku getting burned as well.
"KITSUNE FIRAGA! HAHA!!" Jin shouted whipping his weapon out to the side firing off a fire shaped like a running five tailed fox. It ran towards me roaring like a demon, I raised my foot kicking forth.
"Rankyaku" I launched a cresent moon aura blast from my foot to the fire fox. The fox made completely of flames clashed with the Rankyaku and they both stood at a powerstruggle vying to get past one another to hit their targets. "...Double!" I said dropping my right foot and kicking my left up shooting another Rankyaku towards the power struggle. On contact there was a large explosion that cleared out the power struggle completely. When the dust cleared there was a crater in between us.
"Why didn't you just dodge? That technique was mad slow you could have gotten out of the way without using Soru." Baku asked.
SACRED TOME MAGIC TECHNIQUE GUIDE:
Kitsune Firaga: This technique is mix of transformation and a high leveled magic spell. The fire transforms into a five tailed fox, this is do to Jin's blood pact with the Fire Fox that coverted him into a Fire Mage. Most of Jin's techniques involve the Kitsune Demon.
Rankyaku Double: A Rankyaku wave with both feet.
"Hey...not bad." Jin said grasping onto his torch with both hands.
" Baku, I'm gonna try and push em outta here while I get to that I want you to watch over Bruno until a medic team arrives." I said while gazing at Jin. "He's in pretty bad shape so watch him good."
"Ok Ok...whatever...kinda wanted to see this fight but it's whatever." Baku lied.
"Thanks...Soru!" I said with that I phased out and appeared just infront of Jin with my fist raised. I threw a punch towards him but he raised his naginata and blocked holding his staff up horizontally. I drew my fist back and spun around kicking Jin in the side of his arm, he went sliding off to the side and dashed at me slamming the dull end which was the fire end of his naginata into my chest and I went flying back slamming into a building.
"Hot...Ahh...damn that's hot!" I struggled moving around in the dirt. I leaned up to see Jin with a red casting seal under his feet and aura surrounding his body. "Pheonix Fire!" With that he fired off a dozen fireballs in the form of small birds. "Soru!" I phased out and appeared just infront of Jin with my fist cocked again, I let it rip and punched him straight in his jaw causing him to swagger to the side abit.
With my left I came around with a left hook slamming it into his stomach causing him to cough up alittle spit. Jin quickly spun his naginata striking me in the chin with his fire weapon causing me to lift off of the ground temporarily. While I was airborn, Jin filled his naginata with fire then slammed it across my chest. The fire instantly left me shirtless eating through my vest and button up, sending me flying off slamming through a stone wall and straight into a tree.
Jin walked through the rubble of the Boss' nest with his Naginata on his shoulder. I stood tall from the rubble with furry skin, black spots all over my body and standing on reverse joint legs. " Neko Neko no Mi" I said as the smoke cleared revealing me in leopard form.
"Heh...what's this? Some kinda transformation spell?" Jin asked.
" Something like that?" I grinned holding up my claws and showing my jagged teeth. "Soru!"
I phased out and appeared behind Jin. "Shigan!" I shouted stabbing him in the back shoulder causing him to lean forward alittle while gritting his teeth. "Bastard!" He said holding his shoulder. "Soru!" I phased out again appearing just infront of him and kicked him in his stomach sending him flying into the air. "Soru!" I phased out again like something from DBZ and appeared in the air kneeing him in the stomach causing him to fly down towards the ground.
POW!!
I slammed down hard on the ground while growling finding my upperlip shimmering like an angry wild beast. "Not bad Million Magister...but your not the only one with transformations!" Jin said with his skin peeling off. His held his naginata up pointing it at the sky as if to shoot a star, suddenly he was surrounded in intense fire that burned away even thick tree bark that stood around him. The grass quickly disappeared under him and the ground started to turn into hot magma. Flame fox ears appeared atop Jin's head as his cloths began to burn off as well leaving him completely nude.
His lower body was covered in flames and his legs were reverse joint animal like fox legs. Appearing from his lower back were three fiery fox tails with that a rune like seal appeared on his forehead completeing his transformation. "Kitsune no Transformation..." Jin said his eyes didn't have pupils in them they were all white as if he were some sort of spirit. He pulled his naginata apart creating two naginatas with one in each hand.
SACRED TOME TRANSFORMATION GUIDE:
Neko Neko no Mi: Kel's strongest Zoan Type transformation, the Neko Neko no Mi transforms him into a leopard hybrid, giving him increased attack power and speed. He can also use all Rokushiki moves for less than 10 MP each time. And he also has access to the strongest Rokushiki move the Hi Ougi "Rokuougan".
Kitsune no Transformation: A transformation that is only capable by mages whom have made blood pacts with the Fire Fox Demon, Yoshii. The user becomes surrounded in flames giving them the hybrid half form of a fire fox which means their ears and lower body are transformed completely into fox form while their torso and head remain human like. The ears are made of pure fire along with the lower half of their body and the tails. The strength of the user is determinated by how many tails they have.
"What is that..." I said to myself. "I can feel that heat from way over here...shit...doesn't look too good on my part."
"READY MILLION MAGISTER?!" Kitsune Jin roared showing his fangs. His three fiery tails sort of stuck up like three spikes gathering fiery energy into the tips. A red seal appeared under his feet and without any casting time at all he ran his two naginata blades along the ground shooting about ten of those Kitsune Firaga attacks at me. " Rankyaku!" I shot a wide cresent blade out clashing with the first three kitsune fire foxes.
With that the remaining seven jumped on me all at the same time and I could feel nothing but intense heat as they exploded on my body one by one!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
BOOM!!
I dropped to my knees while looking up at the sky feeling nothing but severe burns. When the black smoke cleared most of my cheetah fur was burned to the flesh. I looked down at Jin with blood running from my upper left eyebrow and the right side of my lip. I clenched my fangs hard while staring at him. Damn, it took next to no time for him to cast that spell. FUCK!!
I slammed one palm down jumping to my feet and phasing out appearing just infront of Jin. "YAAAAHHH!!" I roared throwing my fist forward.
"RAAAHHH!!" Jin roared back slashing one of his Naginata's forward as well.
We got into an all out sword and fist brawl exhanging blows left and right without consideration for blocking. Jin slashed me along my cheeks and arms while I punched him in his face and body. The punches and slashes were at such a high speed they seemed almost invisible to the naked eye. We punched back and forth and this speedy punching and slashing session continued for about 3 minutes until Jin slammed the end of his naginata into my stomach causing me to cover my stomach while coughing up blood. I spun around quick and kneed Jin in the face sending him flying through the air.
"Soru!" I phased out and appeared above Jin as he was flying back with my fist jacked back ready to nail hil. He quickly swung his right naginata up and it was ablaze like a torch. The fire hot torch blade struck me across the face and I went spinning feeling intense heat on my cheek. I went spinning into a tree hitting it then falling to the ground.
"It's time we ended this little game Million Magister...heh...heh...eh..." Jin said breathing hard while spinning both of his naginata.
I made it to both two feet myself with the burning scar on my cheek fuming I could smell my flesh cooking. I watched as Jin was covered in a red aura with a red seal under him. He crossed both of his naginata then combined them into one again. "Hi Ougi: FIRAGA DRAGON!!" Jin roared swinging his naginata from right to left launching a huge serpent dragon made completely of fire at me.
SACRED TOME TECHNIQUE GUIDE:
Hi Ougi: Firaga Dragon: Firaga using the power of manipulation to transform the fire into a dragon serpent it is a level 4 Hi Ougi magic spell that can be utilized by Fire Mages and other Adept classes.
"Tekkai!" I said crossing my forearms up while standing completely still. The fire dragon hit me and for the first twenty seconds I was holding my own but somewhere along the lines the heat got too great and I let go of my Tekkai. It was broken by this immense flames and my body was engulfed in it, I felt heat all over that wasn't hot enough to burn my skin completely off but it was enough for me to feel like I was in Hell. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" I screamed aloud.
The fire attack took several seconds to pass and when it did I stood standing there in my human form, my shirt ripped off completely showing my scorched chest and back, my pants were burned up past the knees making them look like shorts and my shoes were completely gone. I stood there with my body covered in ash and soot, I started to fall back slowly.
Is this it?
Is this the limit of my capabilities?
No...I can't give up...I have to take over the world...
I have a goal..I...I can't give up now!
NOT NOW!!
MY JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN I CAN'T LOSE NOW!
Just as I was about to fall back and faint I leaned forward grasping my fists and enduring the pain of the burns and the aching flesh. It was so much that it made me cry, tears were running down my eyes the pain of these burns were that severe. I looked up at Jin who was walking away like he had won already. I looked up at the sky like I was about to pray while keeping my fists clenched. "Neko Neko no Mi!" I chanted and with that I transformed back into my leopard form. Jin turned around quickly with wide eyes and his fangs showing.
"Go back to sleep!" Jin said grasping his Naginata. Even aftat that Firaga Dragon technique he has more MP reserved? Jin is one seriously strong mage! Before he could cast another spell. I used Soru instantly to appear just infront of him. "Shigan" I stabbed him with one finger claw extended in the center of his chest. "Madara!" I shouted with that I started to stab him several times around the point where I stabbed him at high speed. Jin's blood scattered into the air like he was shot with a machine gun as he staggered back. I wrapped my tail around Jin's waist and held him up putting my right fist on his upper chest and my left fist opposite from my right on his stomach.
"Hi Ougi: ROKUOUGAN!!" I shouted with that an invisible beam of force shot through Jin's body causing him to practically throw up blood.
SACRED TOME TECHNIQUE GUIDE:
Shigan "Madara": A multiple rapid fire Shigan attack that leaves many holes in the opponents chest or other regions. It's very deadly and if hit in the right places can kill an opponent easily. This variation of Shigan costs almost tripled the amount of MP it costs to use Shigan.
Hi Ougi: Rokuougan: This is the ultimate and most powerful Rokushiki move that has no current variations. It has the power of crush the opponents insides completely and it's force is equal to that of 9 Ultima Spells. Rokuougan can be used even when you have 1 MP left. The attack saps all MP from your body so you can have up to 4 Guages and one use of the Rokuougan will deplete all of your MP.
With my tail I set Jin down and he slowly walked past me while wavering from side to side blood dripping from his body. I took acouple of wavery steps forward myself with every step I transformed back into a human. The yellow fur and spots disappeared, so did my tail and I got back to my normal size. "MILLION MAGISTER!!" Jin shouted. With that my eyes widened and I turned around seeing Jin standing there with a ball of magma like energy in his palm.
"Y-Your kidding..." I said dropping to one knee. I practically had no MP left. "Damn...this guy...even after Rokuougan?"
I clapped my hands together while trying to summon up another magic spell. "Dammit...it's useless." I said dropping my hands to my sides. With that he fired the Firaja spell at me just before transforming back himself and dropping down to the ground. The ball was off by acouple of inches and struck the ground infront of me blasting me back in a large explosion.
"WAAAHH!!" I screamed hitting the ground and blacking out.
Author's Note: Damn...O.o...Jin is one badass Fire Mage. And the fact of the matter is even after all of that he STILL isn't dead. Yes Jin will return with his kick ass kitsune fire techniques and even newer moves. Even though Jin fell first I'm still gonna give the victory to him having still had the power to fight...if Kel hadn't used the Madara Shigan before Rokuougan, Jin would have stayed conscious longer but because of the Madara Shigan Jin lost alot of blood thus speeding up his blackout.
To get a picture of Kel's Neko Neko transformation just look up Rob Lucci's Zoan form. He looks exactly like that.
Anyway this Arc is over and it's time for the Bios...see the next page for your Bio outline ya buncha impatient bastard!
