EPISODE 3: "THE UNSTOPPABLE"
ENGLAND, PRESENT DAY.
Monkey Fist opened the huge doors of the main hall of his castle and slowly walked carefully observing all his possessions, the entire place was plenty of paints, carpets, books and other things, many of them not very communes or expected to be seen in a old castle like that, many of them belonging to his family by centuries and others "acquired" more recently of museums and private collections around the world, but all them shared one thing in common, the obsession of his owner, his obsession for strange and ancients forms of magic, especially, magic related with an old cult to the monkeys, for most of the people that idea was hilarious, believe that a sect which adored the monkeys could promise power beyond the dreams to their believers was stupid, but not for him, he knew that that promises were very real, himself was the prove of it, but now, he had another matters in mind.
Slowly Monkey Fist approached to one of the booksellers that were in the bottom of the room and carefully pushed one of the books, then the sound of machinery filled the place and slowly a section of the stone wall behind him slip back and laterally leaving to the overdraft a hidden stairways.
"# You're late, lord Monkey Fist #" - the soft voice of a little girl could be heard while the sound of naked feet made echo ascending from the bottom of the stairway.
"# In fact, you are early #"- Then Monkey Fist could see the voice's owner as she left the shades of the hide stairway, was a little girl dressed in old Japanese clothes, her hair was wither as her own clothes with a flower adorning each side of her head as she hold an strange mirror in her hands, even her skin was pale, finally she stopped front of Monkey Fist, observing him with an inexpressive look -"# Kanna #"
"# Naraku sent me to see if the bait was ready #."
"# I don't know why he is so anxious, after all, I've left him a very capable person to resolve any problem that could happen #"
"# Yes it is, but you know that make this travels consumes lots of energy #"
"# Yes I know, but this one was very necessary, I have to be sure that this will work perfectly, now is just matter of time to he fall in the trap #" - Monkey Fist assured with an insane look of joy in his eyes - "# Then, the last piece of the key will be our and both, Naraku and I, will get what we want and the energy won't be a problem #" - he replied her.
"# Are you sure he will come? #" .
"# Trust me this one #" - he replied with a serious expression in his face - "# I know him very well, in fact, I bet that actually he suspects something's happening, both of us are linked by the Mystic Monkey Power, but he can't know what exactly it is, BUT NOW, I think it's time to bring this to the temple #"- then Monkey Fist grabbed a brown bag from his clothes and kindly he deposited it front of her - "# I think this will be very useful to get the others attention #".
Without say any word, Kanna took the bag and put it inside her clothes, once she did it, as soon she did it a flash of red light appeared behind her forming a red and yellow spinning vortex, once this was stabilized the small girl proceeded to pass through it and as soon she entered with another flash disappeared, leaving an smiling Monkey Fist alone. – "Let's the game begins".

JAPAN, XVI CENTURY.
"# Are you OK, Sessomaru-sama? #" - The small lizard demon wear in brown and hanging a staff with two wood heads in the top asked -"# Why did we stop? #" - said as he looked up his master, he was tall with long withe hair and no expressive face, their clothes were withe adorned with red figures and a long withe stole in their right side, finishing off the whole group with a black armor that protected their chest and two swords in their yellow and blue belt.
"# Mr. Jaken, what's happening? #" - A little girl of black hair wearing a yellow and orange kimono approaches to them with a bicephalous huge lizard behind her.
"# You can't feel it? #" - Sessomaru said avoiding eye contact with his companions.
"# What master? #" - he replied but suddenly he realized how both swords in his master belt started to shook themselves. "# Master look, your swords are……!#".
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"# Inuyasha, what's going on? #" - the young monk yelled to his friend after followed him from where they was passing the night.
"# I don't know Miroku #" - he responded as he centered his look to the night sky – "# But something is happening, something really strange #".
"# Why did you say…? #" - then he cut his words when saw Inuyasha's sword.
"# GUUUYS, what's happened? #" - then two young girls approached to them, both of them had long black hair, one was wearing a withe and pink kimono with a huge boomerang in his back and an creature like a cat with two tails on her shoulder, the other, lightly younger than the first, dressed a cute withe and green Japanese sailor uniform, she had a bow in her right hand and arrows in her back and a little fox demon with brown hair and a tail over her hair. – "# Inuyasha, what's wrong with you, why did you run! #" - Kagome angrily said to the withe haired youkai (is the Japanese word to half demon) front of her, but Inuyasha just shook his dog-ears - "# I'm talking to you Inuyasha! #".
"# Kagome #" - Sango interrupted her - "# Look! #"- she said pointing towards Inuyasha's
sword, then she could see how Tetsusaiga (that's Inuyasha's sword name) was violently shaking itself as he held it
trying to keep it in his belt.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"# Kanna, I see you've brougth it with you #" - the deep voice of Naraku was the first thing she heard when left the vortex behind, she arrived to a dark and huge cavern illuminated by the red light of brands in the rocky walls.
"#Yes, here it is #"- responded at the time she grabbed the bag she had received from Monkey Fist and slowly put it on Naraku's hand, then he opened it and took a black sword's grip which one made shook hardly Naraku's hand.
"# Aaaaaaaah, you can feel it#" - Naraku said to the grip - "# Don't be impatient, soon you'll be join with your other half, and then you'll give us the power we want, Kanna. Could you take it to the main chamber please? #" - said as he retuned it to Kanna's hands, then she lost herself in the shades. – "# Hakudoshi, I know you are there come here, I need you make something for me #".
Then from the shades behind Naraku appeared a young boy with long withe hair and a sinister cold look in their eyes, dressed in withe and a long spear in one hand – "# What do you want? #".
"# I need you to watch over Inuyasha and their retinue and stay informed of all their movements, I need to know if they come toward here #"
"# If they don't? #"
"# Well, you can push them to come, even, you can make their trip, will say, more interesting #".
"# That's will be fun #" - he smiled.
"# You can take Kohaku with you, now go #" - and then Hakudoshi give his back to his "father" and went to complete the assigned task.

JAPAN, PRESENT DAY.
That was one of the most interesting days that Master Sensei could remember, amazed for the events and reports he constantly was receiving sit on his chair inside the school's communication center, that morning when Ron began his final test and the school's helicopter dropped him on a remote place of the forest which surrounded Mt. Yamanochi, he had 12 hours to reach school's main hall passing different stages, any stage designed to prove every specific Ron's part; speed, agility, dexterity, forces, genius and resistance, besides one more quality that Master Sensei think test at the end.
"# What time is it? #" - he asked.
"# Almost 2 o'clock sensei #" - Yori answered from her chair front a computer terminal with Rufus on her shoulder.
"# Where is Ron now? #".
"# At two miles to leave the forest #"
"# Amazing, he's running 100 miles of forest without stop and ninjas trying to stop him in less of 6 hours #" - he whispered - "# Turn on the audio please #".
Then Yori hit a button on her console and a series a frantic voices could be heard thought the speakers #WHERE IS HE, WHERE! - HE'S OVER US! - LOOK OUT! – BOOOOOOOOYAAAAAH! - (noise of branches breaking and blows) – TOSHIRO, WHAT HAPPENED! – HE IS OUT, I CAN'T MOVE, HE USED MY SOWRD TO HANG ME TO A TREE, ARE YOU SURE HE IS HUMAN! – DON'T THINK THAT, HE IS COMING TO US NOW, BE READY!#.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The trees passed like a blur at Ron's both sides, although he had 6 hours running, he barely feel some fatigue in their legs, even when he was running at that speed.
"That was close!" – said to himself – "The forest is less dense now, I can see the Mt., well that was easy". – then he saw a shine from a bushes front of him, a shine that became bigger at each moment. – "Shit!" – he said when could see what it was, then, without stop, he dodge a shuriken which passed flying very close over his head, quickly he down his left knee at the time he extended his right leg and put both hands on the ground to this way stop his career with a long and slow spinning slip, after did that, he remained that position a few seconds trying to find where there was his attacker.
"Well Ron, that was impressive" - then he could see Hirotaka rising form a bush front of him - "But don't think that all this test will be easy".
"I wouldn't, ninja boy" - he said - "The last two almost catch me back there"
"Well, then maybe we'll have more luck now" - then a dozen a black gi's appeared surrounding Ron, all of them with shurikens ready to be throws. - #"And Ron, don't fool me, I know you're not using your full, I'd like you fight with all you have!"# - he said as he took a fighting stance.
"# Well, Hiro, if you wish #" - then Ron dropped the gray jacket he was wearing with a hard thud on the ground – "# You know, have an 160 pounds weight jacket over you all the time could be tired #" - he smirked while slowly he moved his left hand inside one of the pockets of his utility belt - "# Just one thing, if I've understood well, like ninjas we must to be able to do anything to reach our objectives, even if that means cheat, right? #"
"# Yes, why you say that #"
"# Because I'm leaving, cya guys! #" - then without say anything else Ron quickly took his grapple gun and pointing over his head shoot, once he felt the hook hit a branch pushed the retraction button to pull him up, once he climbed the tree he moved himself putting a branch between him and the rain of shurikens that flew against him - "# HA, you've fail suckers! #" - but the sound of a dozen of air shots made despair the smile of his face – "UUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAH, THEY HAVE GRAPPLE GUNS TOO!" – said while a dozen of hooks and ropes passed around him and quickly all the ninjas climbed surrounded him again.
"# Like I've said, won't be easy, Ron #" - Hirotaka said stood on a branch next Ron, then Ron took his trade mark Monkey Kung Fu fighting stance and the hell fell over him, Ron moved himself like a real monkey jumping between the tree's branches at the time he avoided and blocked all the air kicks, swords blows and shurikens that the ninjas sent to him, he didn't have time to respond the attacks, all their moves were so fast and them too many that was difficult followed them.
"# HE'S TRYING TO LEAVE THE FOREST, DON'T ALLOW HIM DO THAT! #" - Hirotaka yelled, then, when Ron landed on another branch, one of the ninjas used his grapple gun's rope to swigged himself towards him, when Ron saw him he ducked to avoid the attack, but, he wasn't the objective, the ninja used his sword to cut the branch where Ron was making him fell.
Think Ron, think! – thought, then, an idea hit his brain, in fractions of second he controlled his fall and hits tree's trunk with both legs using them like a spring impelling himself to fly away, then, when he touched ground rolled many yards to absorb impact's force, finally when he stopped realized that at last he was leave the forest behind - "I can't believe it, IT WORKED!" - said while did a victory's dance. - "Yes, who's the man, who's the man, me, Ron's the man!".
"# Not so fast! #" - that froze Ron on his tracks.
"# What, I'm out of the forest #" - replied when saw he was surrounded again.
"# Not yet #" - Hirotaka said pointing towards a lonely tiny little tree behind Ron.
"# Oh, come on, I'm beginning to think that you just want to mock me! #" - answered him puckering the frown at the same time he crossed his arms when he saw the tree.
"# Honestly…yes #" - said with a smile as he took his fighting stance - "# Come on Ron, stop to avoid us and show me what you can do, like you promised me! #"
"# OK, no more Mr. nice guy, you wanted it, you'll have it! #" - responded taking his fighting stance and the look of his eyes changed to a very focused one, a few moments later a blast of upward wind appeared around Ron and then he made his movement - "# FISSURE! #" - then Ron hit with his foot the ground creating an small earthquake and a series of small cracks around the place he hit, that suppressive move made that the group of ninjas lost their balance and then Ron began his attack, like a flash Ron ran towards the three men behind him, when he was close enough the first Ron made him fly with a double open hand strike in the ribs –"One!" - immediately he makes a 360o spinning sweep kick to the other two making them spin in the air before they hit the ground –"Two, three!"- then he ran to the three ones of his right, when one tried to respond Ron's attack, he blocked his fist using his left arm and immediately hits his stomach with his right, when the ninja bends himself of pain Ron took his arms and used ninja's body like a weapon to hit the other two that were trying to take their swords –"Four, five, six!"- then he realized that a group of four came running behind him, when the first one throws him a right to left blow with his sword Ron dodge it at the same time he hold him of the arm and threw him for the air, then when the other two tried to hit him, Ron jumped making that their swords hit only the empty place where he was, then Ron treats them a double air kick on their faces making them fly hitting the fourth one that was behind them – "Seven, eight, nine, ten!" – Ron whispered at the moment he landed with a cold look in his eyes. –"Just two more!".
#"ENOUGH!"# - then Hirotaka's voice made Ron blinked returning him from his trance.
"Hu?" - then Ron who now was heavily breathing and with sweat's drops rolling from his forehead turned to see how Hirotaka started to walk towards him and also how the remained ninja began to check the fallen ones - "# Now what, are you surrender? #"
"# Yes, doesn't have case to continue an unnecessary fight, you won #" - he said indicating Ron to turn his face and see around him, then a surprised Ron realized the carnage he was made, he could see several ninjas groaning in pain and others completely unconscious, he couldn't believe that in matter of seconds he was defeated all those men.
"# Also, you'll need the rest of your energy to finish the test, now, go Ron, go and full us of proud #"
"# Thanks buddy #" - Then without think it twice Ron continued his race, as soon as he despaired of sight Hirotaka fell over his knees.
"# Thank you Ron, thank you for show me the Power of a Monkey Master, for show me the unstoppable, it was my honor see you fight like this, and I'm glad too for don't have to fight with you #" - he whispered and then he pushed a button of his comlink device - "# Yori, tell Master Sensei that Ron has finished this part and he is on his way to the school #".
"# Roger, the transportation will be there in 30 minutes #"
"# Thanks, Yori #".
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"# Any signal of Ron? #" - asked Yori to one guard of the main gates of school.
"# No, we didn't see anything #"
"# It's strange, Ron left the forest many hours ago #" - said while searched with her eyes trying to see if Ron was crossing the hanging bridge. -"# At the speed he was coming he must be here hours ago #"
"# Yes, the sun is downing now, he has to reach the main chamber before the sunset, if he won't, he won't pass the test #" - said the young ninja to the tanned teen.
"# Don't worry #" - then Yori turned to see Master Sensei approaching to them - "# Remember he has to reach the chamber without been see, that was the condition to pass #"
"# Yes sensei but honestly there are many students and teachers dispersed around mountain's roads, he couldn't pass without been see for any #"
"# Little girl, you really care for him #" - Yori nodded - "# don't worry, he's fine and I'm sure he will do it, now, please come with me, I need you do something, now come #" - he said as he walked towards the main building at the bottom of the campus with Yori behind him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yea Ron, like a trip to the beach" - Ron groaned while he climbed, now he really felt pain with any move he did, unerringly supposed that all the roads to the school would be watched and he won't take the risk of to be spotted, so he decided to take an alternative route he was sure nobody will watch, the 90 grades rocky wall at the other side of the mountain.
"Come Ron, just a bit more and you'll be there" – Ron was really thirsty, his body was fill of scratches and bruises and his ripped clothes full of sweat seemed to be more heavy with each foot he ascended, then with great effort finally he reached the edge of the mountain, it was a three of four feet wide space between a massive man made stone wall and a 3000 feet deadly fall, there he stood himself for several seconds taking deep breaths, luckily for him, his target was exactly over his head – "OK, this is it Ron, all or nothing" – then Ron took again his grapple gun and shoot towards the farthest window of the huge vertical Japanese building.
Once Ron enter through the window slowly move his head to see if someone was expecting him, at the beginning he had problems to adjust his view to the dimness of the place but gradually his look was more clear allowing him see a person front of him, there, stand up on the border of the opposed window of the hall was Yori. – "Yori?"
"Hi Ron, I'm glad to see you did it"
"Yes Ron" – then Master Sensei's voice could be heard it making Ron change his attention from Yori to Master Sensei – "I'm very proud of you, the sun almost down, but you must do one more thing before it happen"
"No, not again!" – Ron replied in frustration – "You was talking with Hirotaka, right?"
"You must defeat me to get this" – then Master Sensei give a side step allowing him see the Lotus Blade behind him – "Hurry Ron, the time almost end, you must do it at any cost" – then Master Sensei took his fighting stance.
"When you said the hardest training ever you wasn't joking right" – then Ron took his own accepting the challenge but when he was ready to attack an scream grabbed his attention, then turning his face Ron saw Yori hanging of the window where she was – "YORI! (she must slipped), HANG ON!".
"What's the matter Ron, FIGHT ME, she doesn't matter" – Sensei said.
"What!" – Ron replied, he can't believe what he heard, and a light of doubt fill his mind.
"RON FORGET ME, I'M NOT IMPORTANT, YOU MUST GET THE LOTUS BLADE!"
"Bu-but...?"
"YOU'VE HEARD HER RON, NOW COME AND DEFEAT ME, JUST OF THIS WAY YOU WILL GET THE LOTUS BLADE, IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE, DON'T WASTED IT!"
Then all doubts in Ron's mind disappeared – "Sorry Sensei, but I can't do it, not of this way" – and with that words Ron ran to help Yori.
"# Yes Ron, not of this way #" - Sensei whispered and smile appear on his face.
Then, Yori couldn't hang herself longer and her hands slipped and started to fall to her death with a scream – "YORIIIIIII!" – Ron yelled at the time he jumped to try to save her.
To be continue…
