A few days later after learning about mana control, alchemy, and elemental spells; today is the start of combat training. I was standing in the middle of the arena, while Eraqus, Aqua, Terra, and Xehanort are at one side of the walk towards me as he shouts lightly "for this training you will learn how to not only defend but counter against your opponents"
He gave me a wooden sword, then turned and called "Aqua". Aqua walked slowly toward us and grabbed her own wooden sword. "She will be your combatant for today." I was in shocked and said "wait i can't hurt a woman, it feels a gentleman"
The moment I said that I felt a strike at my abdomen which made me fly all the way to the wall and crash creating a small crater on it, I immediately breathed in and out and pain shot through my mind on my abdomen. I look up at the person who hit me, Aqua who is holding out her wooden sword. Aqua chuckled and shouted "Here is an advice Migeru, in every battlefield there is, either on house, street, kingdom, and city even as girl and women, anyone fight you? *they are your opponent HAVE to fight*!" Aqua takes a Stance.
She then used Mana Burst Dash and did a Quick one-hand downward strike at me, I quickly raised my own wooden sword and blocked the strike that Aim for my Head in time, but despite holding the Wooden Sword with BOTH hand while she was only using ONE! And she was smiling this whole time! Jesus, just how strong is this Girl is!? Than out of a sudden She relax and quick short step back which I fall forward, She Spin around in elegantly and she grab my shirt with her free hand and spun around with her AND Toss me at the Middle of the Arena!
I accidentally dropped my weapon as I slammed to the floor. I look up and everything is spinning but I can blurry see Aqua rushing toward me so I quickly shake my head to get rid of the confusion that is on my mind and focus on the Wooden sword that is a couple of feet away from me. Tried my might to reach for the wooden sword, but Aqua is too close now and will reach me first before I grab the weapon. So my only option is to dodge and weave and throw her strikes the best I could to gain distance from her. When Aqua uses mid strike i ducked down, but for some reason my instinct tells me to sweep her feet off so i quickly did it and the moment she lost her footing I quickly gather the magic at the both palm of my hands and did my own Mana Burst at her which she quickly brought up her weapon to block it which only Blast her away to the far end of the room back where the crater that I once was.
Realizing my instincts helped me a lot during past times, I decided I should try to follow it more often in the near future. Now, what is front I see between me and Aqua is my wooden sword. Aqua gets up and shows a confident grin on her face as she says " good job, you've gained distance from your enemy; now let's see what you can do when they attack from the far distant." She aimed her sword at me and launched shards of ice right at me. I roll to the side to dodge the ice shard and quickly Dash toward my Sword, yet Aqua still has a smile on her face and casts lightning at me. I gasped and quickly jumped back till and heard a faint splash behind and Felt something warp around my leg. I looked down, it was water tendril and I looked behind and saw the shard ice that I dodge earlier turning into water. she must have turned those into water and slowly creeped behind me without noticing it until it wrapped around my leg! she controlled her whip to launch me around in a circle and slam me down close to my wooden weapon.i crawl my way to the sword, and slowly get up. I could feel the pain all over my body as I breathed heavily. As i lift up my wooden blade, Aqua rush toward me with mana burst and coat her wooden sword in Water magic enchantments to make her slash even more longer range to strike me
i crawl my way to the sword, and slowly get up. I could feel the pain all over my body as i breathe heavily. As i lift up my wooden blade, Aqua rush toward me with mana burst and coat her wooden sword in Water magic enchantments to make her slash even more longer range to strike me.I quickly reach out my wooden sword and coat in Fire enchantment which increases the size of the sword that look like a Board sword while Aqua look like a Claymore. And I black her attack. Once our has clash it created steam sound when Water touch Fire.
so as Aqua gathers the steam to form water. I quickly decided to cast fire at aqua creating 3 blast of fireballs.
It was close range so she had nowhere to to luckily for me that will give me the advantage. Aqua showed a smirk as soon the fire balls came close to impact creating explosions. mist created from the explosion she must have cast a water wall in front of her.I was shocked seeing her use a spell that quick, She then pierced the wall to launch barrage of ice bullets. All i can do now is try to slice my way through but some of the ice bullets hit my limbs and torso.I kept going as i move feet by feet, reaching my way to aqua. She then look at eraqus to see if she could finish smile and silently nod turn face me with slightly serious face which caught me off guard her sudden change. Than everything happen soo fast in a last few second which I made a biggest mistake i ever done while fighting against Aqua. I blink just for a second.
And that one second of blinking she disappear in a instant from my field of vision, and next I felt a Heavy strike impact my Guts and I quickly heave over; saw Aqua sticking against my Stomach. she quickly step back and did a reverse roundhouse kick on that same area she previously kick me in.
I rocket launch back toward the wall once again.
"GAAAH" I shout out in pain and spite out a bit blood of the damage my back taken smash against the hard wall without the protection of my mana armor that protect me from serious harm.
Aqua cast dozen of ice shard at me, i look up and saw the ice shard heading toward me in fast pace. In strong instant will to survive, i struggle to raise up my left that holding tightly The wooden Sword just to make sure I wouldn't loos my grip on it. i quickly coat the wooden sword into back to Flaming Board sword while face the flat side of the flaming forward, and i finally cast reflect spell on myself.
As the ice shard impact against my reflection and Board sword. But I made one crucial mistake, my Flaming board cover my view which i don't know that is Aqua continue casting her Ice attack at me? But then I felt something poke the back of neck. Which confused till I realized now as I turn my head to look behind me there Aqua holding her wooden sword pointing at me with Her Thunder spell ready cast at the tip of her sword. Which lead me that I Lost this fight today. Again. "Okay that will be enough for today" Eraqus said
After the spar we go to the hill where we relaxed and enjoy the view as we make a conversation. "So what did i do wrong?" I said as I eat an apple. Terra let out snort "Pft, what did you do wrong? More like how you mess up from the start? hehehe, well of course since you going up against Master Eraqus first student." he looking up at the loud with both behind his head. I showed a grumpy stare at terra as i then said "anyway what did i mess up?"Aqua take out her note and pen from her back pocket. where she got those from? "Well, you got your stance just right, but there to many open which allow me easier to strike you in those area, you were mostly holding back which is bad idea by the way, and-" terra then interrupted "You too focused what is in front of you, which drag you to her own pace to get push around easily that you don't get enough breathing for you to cast your own offensive spell against her."
I take a bite out from the apple I ask "Do Keyblade wielders Master hand to hand combat?"Terra think a bit before answering " Not really, when come to our fist, it didn't do a lot of damage against the Darkness or A creature that has Hard shell like a diamond. But it the only useful using our hand is Grab, toss, and throwing the Keyblade."
Both Aqua and Terra look at me With Deadpan look on their face like I said something the most idiotic thing they ever heard. Aqua let out a sigh.
"Migeru, Me and Terra both know we don't have martial art is because the Keyblade doesn't have one, and it completely formless and no style. Trust me, we both thought of it many years ago, so we visit other world so we could learn some that fit well to use the Keyblade, but." Aqua look down in sadness "we quickly learn that Martial Art only hold back using the Keyblade to it Full potential which almost got us kill couple of time."
Terra finally spoke up " And we discover is not How to WIELD the Keybalde like sword or Axe, it how to VISUAL the Keyblade with your mind" Terra tap his temple to emphasize it what he trying to tell me.
I look at my hand and thought of his words which made me think about how I was able to land blows with my fist and kicks from the fight. I then got up and got a lightbulb of an idea and said "I think I know how to improve"
Terra and aqua looked at me confused as I lead them to that very same room where those golems are.I then explain "these golems attack when I hold the sword, has anyone done this?"
"Terra can you make bits for the golems?" Terra widened and said "why?!""For learning to evade and block long range attacks , Aqua, can you created some ice blade, but not too sharp, around the Golem abdomen for them to have an rotation attack?"
Aqua look confused "Sure I can that, but mind I ask what you trying to show us, Migeru?" She created ice blade on The Golem I pointed at
I smiled and said "now let's turn them on!"
Both Terra and Aqua look at each other then turn to me "All of them?" Terra ask I chuckle and nodded like a goofball Aqua smile "Alright then" she quickly skipped over there and start turning all of them and Terra? Some how and some way, he's disappear out of thin air. We both looked at each other and Aqua gave me a good luck as she walked off. Leaving me alone with the golems.
It's been 3 months as I gotten used to my new skills and magic. I even started to get the hang of using Magic and Sword-like skill to the point that I could do My very own Combo (Which a Dream come true that I get make my very own combo back Home!) Ahem, with the help of Nights training with the golem, of course Terra or Aqua is there to make sure I didn't overboard like last time, but I have to make sure I sleep well for morning training with master Eraqus. But everytime I'm spar against with Terra or Aqua I couldn't stand against Those two. They are a WHOLE other level! Which make me realize there a Gap between me and Them is very far. So far that I can I really able to walk beside them on Equal footing?
Though, it's almost reach my One year training limited with Master Eraqus, Terra, and Aqua and at this rate I won't able to feel satisfied with my training If I couldn't land a single hit on them so I can able to handle real combat once I returned to my original timeline. As Terra and Aqua sparing against one, while I swing my Old wooden stick o cut higher difficulty clay wall which fix itself in crazy fast pace! I turn around and saw a green hooded that cover his whole figure that I can't get glimp of his finger or his feet. He coming up the step into the court yard training ground.
" You still stuck on cutting clay wall, young lad?" Hearing the Voice that distorted mix between kid and adult. "eh" he/she shrug it shoulder " Just visiting my fellow "acquaintance" since I been walking through to one dimension to another that all than I show this realm." It Air quote "acquaintance" like He/She in the neighborhood just wanted hey, what a Weird person. He/she snorted "A weird person, huh?" huh? "Well you came here I thought keyblade Wielders do that"I stomp on the ground like a child. "That right migeru, ONLY the keyblade can enter this realm!" Aqua shout out in warning Both Aqua and Terra summoned their Keyblade get into a fighting stance to face this unknown stranger.
The green stranger like out a disturbing distorted chuckle I ever heard. "Took you that LONG that realize that, huh cutie? As expected." The Green stranger shook It head in disappointment "You Keyblade wielder has gotten sloppy over the years since you haven't fought ANYTHING danger while the creature of the dark and light has gotten growing in number and stronger.""Creature of Dark and light?" Terra mutter and quickly look at the Green Stranger and question It identity " Are you a Heartless!?" I then slowly summon a popcorn out of magic and slowly eat it. The Green Stranger let out a hum "hmm, Maybe" Then a Dark Aura appear around his figure. Than Both Aqua and Terra quickly launch themselves at the Green Stranger .
Aqua quickly cast the middle-grade spell Blizzara and Green Stanger counter with Beginner spell Fire . But the Fire spell broke though Aqua Blizzara and quickly heading straight at her, Aqua gasp in shock and quickly created water wall to block it, when the fire spell hit her water wall it explode blast of her off to pound . "Aqua!" Terra shout his friend "I wouldn't worried about her if I were you". Terra was shocked at the his/her speed and got a kick right at the abdomen. I was standing there eating my popcorn watching the fight. In my opinion Terra should join the drama club and Aqua should be school president. But as I was in my thoughts I noticed now it's just me and the green figure.
" . . . . . . . . . . may I have some of that popcorn?" The Green stranger Ask nicely. I shrugged and share the stranger popcorn as I get scolded by Aqua and Terra "Migeru what are you doing?!" Aqua shouted. "Yeah what if he kills you?" Terra said. He/she quickly appear in front of me The Green Stranger crouch down a bit and grab a little handful of popcorn, and I saw His/her black armor-clad hand. The Green stranger quickly toss the popcorn into his/her Hood where the mouth area should be, The Green stranger nod It head at me "Much applauded"Both Aqua and Terra appeared behind The Stranger to Strike his/her back "Haste, Slowra"The Green stranger mutter those quietly, but I'm heard it those words since he/she standing right in front of me. In blurred motion, The Green Stranger blasted both Aqua and Terra away with a Wind spell. "A wind spell?" I confuse of this unknown element spell. Yet I was amazed by the two spells as I said to the stranger "how did you do that?!"
The stranger chuckled and said "interested to learn are you? Tell me what do you think Gives me the advantage to be able to beat these two?" I was unsure trying to figure out the answer to his question.
The stranger chuckled and said "Interested to learn are you? Don't worry, soon I Train you after you learn the basic with Eraqus, hehehehe" He let out a sinister laugh and his distorted voice make me feel disconcerting of him. I wasn't sure that I should feel excited, or concerned how he going to train me. Wait, Does he Know I that could only train with Master Eraqus for One Years? Who is this guy "Well sounds awesome but right now I'm stuck. You see I have to fight one of these two and win to pass"The green Stranger quickly turn around blocking Terrra heavy overhead strike with. . . . . . . . . a Blade Tonfa?.
"Ok, how do you do that." I said with a bit of nerve. Usually, the Blade tonfa has a Wooden grip and the Main body cover mostly the side of the arm with blade at the tips both end but this one It has the tonfa grip but a metal handle that cover in leather and small main body but the Blade cover over the main body and the blade length reach pass the tip of the Finger and the Elbow ! "wow, never seen a Blade Tonfa like that" I notice something strange about this weapon, there a small glowing letter on the edge of Blade. The Green Stranger quickly notices Aqua charging at him with her Keyblade coating in Ice from the Left corner of his perceptive. As the symbols begin to glow he was able to block the ice coating blade and uses the second tonfa to block a strike of lightning coating keyblade from Terra.
Then I heard a single a feet slam against the ground I quickly notice the ground beneath both Aqua and Terra starting to shift and created spike pointing Both Terra and Aqua back! " Gasp Guys behind you!"! Terra and Aqua look behind and saw The Earth Spike pillar shot toward them. Terra and Aqua broke break free from their against The Green stranger barely dodging the Earth spike, but they do not successfully Dodge that surprise attack as it leave Gash cut on Terra's right arm, and Aqua left leg.
Seeing both Terra and Aqua have deep injuries on them, I felt Uncontrollable Rage boiling raising deep within my heart and felt my magic starting to swirl around like a wildfire. The Stick I holding broke- no, the Stick is disintegrating blast by raging magic and Form flaming sword on hand. I Rush toward the Green Stranger back in a blind rage, when about I about deliver a Deadly attack on him. I was suddenly engulfed in Protect spell.
"Huh?" I snap out from my rage and quickly replace with confusion.
Then a Flash blind me and hear an explosion . . . . . . "Wa- . . . . . el!"I slowly gain consciousness and start getting my sense bit by bit.
"wake up-" started hearing someone shouting and yet sound far away "Migeru- " Clash that was the sound keyblade clashing against something "C'mon kids wake up-" I Finally snap out from my trance and quickly look around. The whole backyard Training ground is completely destroyed.
The tree is on fire The whole field fills with Crater The water in the pond is no longer clean water instead fills with dirty water. I felt a strong hand grasping on my right should and shaking me which help snap out from the confusion that I was in. I turn face toward the person and I smile to my BIG relief it was Terra! But my smile turns to Frown when I notice Terra is full of injuries all over his body. Terra who has deeply worry on his face quickly changes into a relief when I finally wake up.
"Finally you're awake, C'mon you have to get up!" Terra didn't waste a second and quickly grab my hand to quickly get up on my feet. As I finally back on my feet, I almost lost balance, but Terra grasped my shoulder tight which help prevent me to fall.
"Arrrgh my head" I held my head as it pounded around in my skull which not help lessen the pain I look at terra and question him "Terra? what happen, why the whole backyard is wreckage destroyed beyond recognition?" Terra's face quickly shifts to serious, which I never thought I get to see a Terra make that kind face which is Spook me a bit.
"You don't remember? We're attacked by a person in Green Cloak, which he put up a Nasty serious fight and managed to hold his ground against me and Aqua together. Seriously, who is this guy?" Terra had grim look and look to the side and turn back to me. "He hit you with a blast from it Tonfas which somehow turn into a mid-range weapon type."
I remember a flashback when I rushed toward The Green Cloaked stranger for hurting my friends, This person combined his two Tonfa with the short tip blades facing me. I quickly notice some runes glow brighter that is on the blade, and the energy gathered rapid pace formed an energy ball right in front of the tip of the blade and Fired at me. Luckily Aqua who was all ragged and tear as Terra spoke as she was fighting The Stranger.
"Luckily I manage to cast Protect on you and This guy fire his blast at you in Point-blank range" As I turn to Aqua and saw She clash blades Between Her and The Stranger, DAMN, this person is not letting Aqua room breath when this guy is relentless attacking her blow after, and Aqua doing her best struggling block all of them. Terra Cast Cure on himself to heal some wound he receives fighting against The Stranger.
I then thought up an idea "Terra can you help Aqua to distract him, even just a little bit?" Terra looked at me confused at first and said "why?". I lean in whispered to him "I need you to distract him long enough to hide my presence so I could sneak attack his blind spot from behind." Terra's eyes widen, he looked like he finally understood. He nodded and rushed to attack to help Aqua, The Stranger who manage to block Terra's quick surprise attack. As I then concentrate to lower my magic much as I can to make myself undetected.
I could feel my magic flow as if it was water cooling down being frozen and sealed in ice. As soon as my magic flow is lowered I then tried to avoid his view. Clang! Clash! The sounds of blades are heard in the field and there were grunts and yells of both Terra and Aqua striking against the mysterious green stranger with all they're got at him. While I wait for the right time to sneak attack
The battle between Terra, Aqua, and The Stranger increase intensifies to the point that My heart started to feel Fear, Will I ever pull off the Sneak attack? Or the most question Would I survive? I look at Aqua to create three huge shards of Ice the size of a Tree and launch them toward The Stranger. Terra has been waiting for that used this chance he quickly created 3 Three giant Fireballs and shot toward to the Aqua Ice shards.
Boom!
An explosion almost destroys my Eardrum. As the clash between Fire and Ice Element Created Mist covers The whole field which blocks my vision I hardly sees what is in front of me. I quickly slap myself to shake off the fear within my heart, I don't need to worry now, RIGHT now all left for me is to Trust Terra and Aqua.
"Terra why did you do that?! You're supposed to attack that guy not my ice shard" Aqua shout at Terra in Confuse and angery.
As She pant ragged from Long Battle against The Stranger holding off her own. Terra quickly close to Aqua by following her voice and his put hand on her shoulder and tap in rapid Morse code to deliver the message to her of the plan "Calm down Aqua, Migeru needs the Mist so he could strike that guy without Noticing him, now tell me Aqua, could you sense Migeru in the mist?"
Aqua looked confused so she take a couple of deep breaths to calm down her heart and close her eyes to search for her other Friend . . . . . . . . . . . She shook her head in No. Terra smile "Good now, All we need to push that Guy to Migeru Direction since Migeru can't move much while trying to hide His presence."
I slowly walk through the mist step by step while maintaining the Concealment of my presence the best I can. Then I hear that guy voice "Hmm, Those Two good did play smart to creating this mist and quickly hide Their magic, and the plans are good and all, but kinda sloppy on their part. Now what next you two can do." CLANG! "Ah there you are cutie oh how I miss you."
"Oh thank for the fluttery, but I hate REALLY hate that carefree attitude while HURTING MY FRIEND!" Aqua? Damn, she sounds REALLY Angry now. I follow the noise Both Aqua and The Stranger fight each other. "RAAAAAAAARGHHH" Hear Terra Sudden loud War Cry out that almost burst my heart in shock. Jesus, those two are not making this easier for me!
And felt the ground shake Violently and I almost lose my footing. "Jesus freaking Christ man, you scared the crap outa me with that shout that almost stop my heart, just a bit." Huh? Did that guy say Jesus freaking Christ? Heard laugh out a Laugh "Hehahahaha, I was Hoping your heart burst from that" Huh? Terra?
" . . . . . . . . For a Young handsome young man with a kind face, You're one sick sadistic bastard, huh? Hehehe You and I will get along really well." I shiver hearing the exchange conversation both Terra and The Strange, and I can literally FEEL This Guy Grin within his Hood. Now I hear Terra and Aqua resume their fight against The Stranger. I notice the Mist started slowly to disappear as time passed, I better move quickly before I Lose the Element of surprise. As I come closer to the fight my view becomes clear.
I finally get a good look at that Stranger. His green cloak is tattered from the fight against Terra and Aqua revealing His black color Armor Arms and legs, but his hood still intact. As the Fight continues and the mist around me slowly goes away that Aqua and Terra quickly notice where I am. With serious determination on their face, they give one last hard push to The Stranger toward me. Now Aqua and Terra stood side one another and point their Keybalde at The Stranger. Then they gather their magic-
Huh?
W-Wait what?
are you joking right?
they ARE Keyblade right?
THEN HOW DOES THEIR KEYBLADE TURN INTO A FREAKING CANNON!?
THIS IS A LOAD OF BULL-
