Hey everybody, I'm back! I hoped you had a great 2018 while I was away, and while I was gone I noticed I've been getting a lot of reviews lately, some of them about Barney's fighting style and one review from a certain guest saying if I was going to quit this story. Well to answer that review...the answer is no, I'm not gonna quit or abandon this story. However, I have warned you all that I can't promise when this next chapter will be updated since I've been so busy with other stories so far.

Anyway, to answer the next question about Barney's fighting style, some of you have been asking if it bears reference to Fist of the North Star. Well...your only half-right, there is somewhat reference to the Fist of the North Star genre. However, there are other fighting abilities that will be revealed somewhere in the story, but you can guess what it is if you want.

Well, now that's over and done with, I don't own any of the characters from Regular Show, those go to their creator J.G. Quintel. I only own my OC's.

Enjoy this new chapter!

Death Punchies

I was breathing slowly, while my left hand was clutching my already messed-up right hand. I was down on one knee, the ground was already dug when I skidded on it. My right hand really hurts, but I just clenched my teeth and bear through the pain.

I hear the sound of feet walking towards me, while I thought man, I didn't know he could be this good with this style, not to mention the destruction of the park that laid all around me when he used the only attack I know all too well. I was hoping to buy some time until he appeared with the same style he was going to use against him by holding back since he knows little to nothing of the style I have seen before, but I guess I overestimated his ability to adapt to this style that was new to him, and this was the price I had to pay for holding back.

But what choice did I have...he's my friend and I would never go this far until he pushes me beyond my patience so I could actually hurt him.

He stops right in front of me and says, "Heh, looks like I finally beat you. Now, tell me where Mordecai is."

I chuckled at him, then raised my head as I looked at him and said, "Not a chance...Rigby."

Several Hours Earlier…

Several weeks went by after me and Margaret finished watching the most spectacular concert in ages...and I just got it all recorded on my camcorder. But after it came to an end, we literally had to carry Mordecai and Rigby's tired butts back to the park, then I had the privilege to walk her home, but much to my surprise she lives in an apartment...And it was right upstairs close to where my aunt was!

I had thoughts about staying the night with her, but brushed that out of my thoughts because I had to keep this nice and slow and not make it awkward for her.

As the weeks flew by fast, I guess you can say things got pretty boring, but on the bright side, my two friends were happy when I showed them the tape, but left them alone before they gave me a look that said Really.

But anyhow, after those weeks came to an end, let me tell you what's happening right now.

Me and Muscle Man were heading home while I carried a bag that had a cheeseburger and I was sipping on a soda. For you see, after I was finished with work while helping out with Muscle Man, I decided to have lunch at Cheezers, I asked Muscle Man if he wants anything and immediately he says yes. So, I bought two cheeseburgers while I decided to get a soda for myself as we carried out our food.

While Muscle Man managed to finish his cheeseburger and tosses his wrapper in the trash, I decided to wait and eat mine once we got back to the house. But once I opened the door and me and Muscle Man stepped inside, I heard Mordecai make a "wee-ooo" sound as me and Muscle Man also heard him speak in a doctor-like voice, "Quick doctor, both of these butt cheeks are unrecognizable. If we want anybody to be able to recognize this a butt in the future, then we're gonna have to do a complete butt transplant. Stat!"

"STOP TALKING!" We heard Rigby yell, "There was only damage to the one cheek and you know it!"

Me and Muscle Man snorted at that reminder of what happened to poor Rigby. You see, during those last several boring long weeks, Rigby decided to play punchies with Skips, and he hit Rigby so hard, he was taken to the hospital due to the damage on the left side of his butt cheek where they had to perform major surgery to fix some of the damage. But in the end though, his butt was healed but was permanently scarred on the left side.

Mordecai laughed and said to Rigby, "That's right, we used to call you the one cheek wonder!"

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that ever since the surgery came to an end, we gave him the nickname "the one cheek wonder" and believe me...it was hilarious!

"Dude, I'm bringin' it back."

"You better not!"

Me and Muscle Man looked at each other, I could tell he couldn't hold back his laughter anymore, but me, I just had a smirk. We nodded at one another as we went to the couch to where Mordecai and Rigby were as Muscle Man says, "Is that one cheek wonder?"

Rigby looks at him while I say something from behind Rigby, "Yeah, I can see him alright, because there's one cheek from where I'm looking at."

"I hope he's not trying to play punchies with cheeks like that?"

We all laughed as Rigby covers his rear while his tail curled into a ball, trying to hide the scar as he says, "Shut up, don't look at them!"

He jumps off the couch and also says, "I'll win at punchies you'll see!"

As I watched him run up the stairs I said to Rigby, "Word of advice, if you ever want to win at punchies, build some muscles on those arms. Otherwise, you might lose that other cheek."

"Shut up, Barney!" Rigby yelled, "I don't need your advice!"

I heard the door slam as I nodded at him, then turned to look at Muscle Man as he chuckled while I shrugged my shoulders. I went around the couch and noticed Mordecai playing a new game. Looking at the box that I noticed on the table, it was called Dig Champs. Since I had nothing else to do at the moment, I decided to kill some time, so I asked Mordecai, "Hey, is it okay if I play with you?"

"Sure dude," Mordecai says. "If you're okay by playing Player 2?"

"Hey, I don't mind." I said as I took a seat next to him and placed my soda and bag right in front of me.

"By the way," Mordecai says while I looked at him. "I-"

He was interrupted as we heard the sound of squeaking, like a bed being jumped on. "You better not be messing up my side of the room!" He shouts to Rigby upstairs.

He looks back to me and says, "Now, as I was saying, I should warn you though, Player 2 has a sucky pickaxe."

I psht at that. "So, I don't care if it's sucky or not, just as long as I play."

We both hear Rigby scream, making me sigh as I pinch the bridge of my nose and say, "Man, Rigby is such a baby."

Mordecai nods in agreement with me as he takes out a pair of headphones. I couldn't agree with him more if I keep hearing Rigby's screaming, so I took a pair of earphones from out of my pocket that was wrapped up with my IPod and plugged up my ears as I turned into some rock music and hit play, drowning out Rigby's screaming as I played with my friend while eating a good lunch.

After about several hours of playing with Mordecai, I was outside while being surrounded by trees. Spreading my legs out, I took a deep breath and folded my hands while closing my eyes. I opened them, then thrusted a fist forward while shouting "Ha!", wind was thrusted forward on the ground.

Moving my arms in a wave-like motion, I backfisted while grunting as wind hit the trees, knocking a few leaves off the branches. I kicked my foot in the air while also shouting "Wa!", wind hit the trees as several leaves came off the branches. I spun around while backfisting, then kicked with both feet into the air. Landing on the ground, I sweep kicked the ground, going into a full circle, then launched myself into the air, doing a spinning kick as I landed back on the ground. The leaves began to slowly descend around me as my fists became a blur while going around. When that came to an end, my hands had the fallen leaves gathered around each hand.

I tossed the leaves away and decided to end my little exercise, but right before I was about to head back…

I heard an explosion from a distance.

"What the H." I muttered as I started jogging.

When I managed to find the cause of that explosion, my eyes widened and gasped as the party tent was gone. I mean literally gone! All what's left of it was a giant crater, like someone just took a bunch of dynamite and blew the whole place to kingdom come. I heard another explosion coming from another direction. I ran as fast as I could to find out what's going on, but when I heard another explosion, I knew I had to go even faster. So, I vanished while everything around me became a blur.

When I began to smell smoke in the air, I stopped my speed and turned around while I still kept on running. When I got there, I found another crater, but it wasn't as big as the one I saw earlier. Still, who could've done this?

Then, I began to sense something. This...aura. This fighting aura, it felt...dark. It was close by and I could feel it. But still, who is this fighter?

"Oh, Barney." I heard a familiar singsong voice.

I had an odd look when I knew it was Rigby's, but when I turned around...my face turned to surprise and a gasp escaped my lips as I heard him shout and leap towards me, his fist raised to hit me. Reacting quickly, I vanished as I saw a wave of power hit the trees, destroying all of them. I stood there by the side to where Rigby tried to hit me, but my eyes widened in shock at what I was seeing…

Rigby's spiky hair was combed back into a mullet and he wore cut-up jean shorts. I knew right away what that was. But how did he manage to get it, was there a dojo somewhere in town that I'm not even aware of yet? I mean, I've only just moved here about a year ago and I don't know much about this town yet.

"Rigby?" I muttered.

He turns to face me, his eyes widened in shock, probably from what I just did about a couple of seconds ago, but was changed to a glare as he started running towards me, his fist was once again raised and thrusted straight towards me as a wave of power came out of that fist. I vanished and reappeared at the side as more trees were destroyed.

"Rigby!" I shouted, "What are you trying to-"

Rigby sharply turns to me, his eyes were still glaring at me as he grunts and shouts, "Hold still!"

He thrusted his fist as another wave of power came at me. I vanished as the attack tore through the ground, creating a small ditch as I turned-tailed and ran.

"Where do you think you're going, Barney?" Rigby says as I look behind for a brief moment, seeing him running after me on all fours. "I want to play punchies with you!"

Punchies? I thought, The hell does he mean by that?

I didn't have time to think about this for a moment. I kept on running until I saw a tree as I ran towards it, running upwards on it just as Rigby threw another punch. I jumped at the last second as bits and pieces of bark from the destroyed tree came at me as my eyes saw Rigby's eyes, whose eyes widened and followed as I rolled and slid upon landing on the ground.

I jumped back a bit as Rigby turns around and thrusts his fist, sending out yet another wave of power towards me as the ground was tearing up and forming another ditch. I kept on jumping back while avoiding the attack that was moving towards me, then I backflipped a couple a times and launched myself into the air, just as the ground exploded as I somersaulted into the air and landed on top of a lamppost.

Rigby grunts and goes over to where I was, he was pointing at me while shouting, "What are you doing up there?!"

"Staying away from you for the moment." I answered.

I had to take a moment to think while catching my breath, I remember Rigby saying that he wanted to play punchies with me, so I asked, "Alright Rigby, why do want to play punchies with me?"

"Because you and Mordecai are the only ones left I haven't beaten yet." Rigby chuckles as he brings out a single fist. "And I've already managed to beat the others with this."

My eyes widened in shock...I hoped he didn't do what I think he's done.

"Rigby, please tell me you didn't do what I think you've just done."

"Oh yeah I did," Rigby nods while smiling. "I used The Death Punch on them."

While Rigby was chuckling, my teeth clenched and both of my hands formed into fists as I angrily shouted at him, "ARE YOU THAT STUPID RIGBY?!" Rigby stops chuckling as I continued my rant, "Martial Arts shouldn't be used for something as selfish as this! It's only used for self-defensive purposes only for all styles, and that goes double for Death Kwon Do!"

Rigby glares while grunting and saying, "Man you sound like that…" He stops himself as his eyes widened. "Wait a second, how come you know about Death Kwon Do?"

I didn't give him my answer, but I could tell he was wondering how I got such skills, I could see it in his face.

"Do you use-"

"No Rigby," I answered this time, knowing he was going to ask me that question. "I don't practice the style of Death Kwon Do. The style that I use is quite different from that."

"Well, why do you even care how I use The Death Punch?"

"Why?" I point at the destruction that Rigby caused. "That's why!" Rigby turns to where I was pointing as I continued, "If you keep abusing its power, you can hurt someone, or worse, you'll kill somebody!"

I can hear Rigby "Hmph", then turn his attention back at me as he says, "You think I care what you think. The only thing I care about is winning at punchies, and if anyone thinks otherwise. Well…" Rigby chuckles while saying with a dark look, "Someone's going to get punched."

That look on his face, I could tell that the darkness was already starting to take over. But at least he should be lucky that it hasn't swallowed him up.

I nodded at him while saying, "Man, you really are that stupid y'know."

"SHUT UP!" Rigby yelled as he threw a punch and a wave of power came at me.

I jumped off the lamppost, just as it was ripped off the ground while I was up in the air, putting two fingers on the sides of my head as I shouted out "HAAA!" as a flash of light came. When I landed on the ground, I saw Rigby grunting while covering his eyes.

"Ow! Oh, my eyes, I can't see!"

I knew that it'll only last for a minute, which gives me enough time to run, and that's exactly what I did. I had to warn Mordecai and fast. While I was running, I could hear Rigby shout, "YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER! I'LL GET YOU AND MORDECAI, YOU HEAR ME!"

I slammed opened the door and ran through the stairs two by two. By the time I reached the top, Mordecai was already at his room, the door was already opened and he was looking at me while I was clutching my legs and trying to catch my breath.

"Dude, you okay, what's wrong?" Mordecai asked me.

I looked at him while breathing through each word, "Rigby...trouble...he's coming."

"Whoa, take it easy. Take a deep breath and start over."

I took a deep breath through my nose and exhaled out through my mouth.

"It's Rigby, you're in trouble, he's coming to find you."

"Well if he does, he's the one who's going to be in trouble."

I looked at Mordecai, whose eyes were narrowed as I said with a confused look, "What are you talking about?"

Mordecai motions his arm, inviting me into his room. Stepping inside, I had a surprised look as I said, "Whoa…"

Half of Mordecai's side of the room was completely messed-up, a poster was ripped off, the bed's covers were also messed-up while a pillow was on the floor, completely ripped to shreds from one-side, the front board of the bed was broken off from the corner on the right, and a drawer was opened from a small dresser was emptied while a lamp was smashed to pieces.

"He's gonna pay for this." Mordecai says.

Mordecai picks up a phonebook and I hear him say, "Death Kwon Do?"

I quickly snatch it out of his hands as I look at it, and noticed an ad that was entitled "Death Kwon Do" on the page.

"So that's how he got it." I said.

"Where are you Mordecai and Barney," Me and Mordecai hear Rigby say from outside. "I want to play you punchies!"

We go over to the window as Mordecai moves the blinds so we can see. We watched as Rigby goes to a man while asking, "Hey Mister, have seen Barney and Mordecai?"

"Uh, no, who's-"

He didn't get to finish as he blew him away with The Death Punch.

He goes over to another man who was at the fountain and asked, "Have you seen them?"

"Seen wh-"

He too was also cut off as Rigby blew him away along with the fountain.

"How 'bout you!" Rigby says as he blew another man away who was on the bench and crashes at the window while his body slid.

"Oh, so you think you're gonna beat us at punchies. Well I got news for you, we know your little secret."

"Mordecai," I said with a low, but serious tone in my voice. "What are you thinking about?"

Mordecai only smirked while I looked back on the ad, putting two and two together, I said to him, "Whoa, I'm gonna have to stop you right there, before you start jumping the gun at this." I placed my finger on the page of the ad and asked, "Are you sure wanna learn this?"

Mordecai had a serious face and nodded while saying, "Yes."

I sighed as I looked at him and said, "Alright, but you must promise me that you'll only use this style for self-defensive purposes only, and never to use for any selfish reasons. Do you swear at this?"

"O-kay," Mordecai gave me a confused look, probably wondering why I should make him promise at this, "but why-"

"Promise me or else I won't let you go through this!" I yelled.

"Okay, okay!" Mordecai raised both of his feathered hands. "Chill dude, I promise."

"Alright then," I slammed the book closed, "let's go."

It took us about an hour to not only sneak away from the park without Rigby noticing us, but to also find the dojo that teaches Death Kwon Do. Luckily for us, we managed to find it next to a thrift store. However, I didn't follow Mordecai inside, and I remember him saying to me as I started walking away, "Dude, where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy you some time to learn this style, but in the meantime, leave Rigby to me."

"What are you saying?"

I turned to Mordecai and winked at him while saying, "Trust me. Oh, and by the way…" I tilted my head sideways, making Mordecai look that way, just giving me enough time to vanish as I made my way quickly back to the park. But by the time I got there...it looked like a warzone. Trees were destroyed here and there, cars were wrecked when they tried to probably get away from Rigby's rampage, craters and ditches had filled the park, and...The hell, was that a plane that got destroyed?

I didn't have time to ponder as I kept on walking while looking at all the destruction that Rigby caused. When I got to the house, it was slightly wrecked despite all the destruction that's happened to the park, but at least it was still standing. Looking up, I noticed Rigby sitting on a chair on top of the roof, acting all high and mighty when I also noticed my four other friends, but it looked like they were hurt badly. Muscle Man's eyes were bruised purple and swollen shut, Skips had a bandage on his head from probably taking a blow from Rigby's Death Punch, Pops had a sling on his arm and was probably broken because of Rigby, and Hi Five Ghost...well, I'm not sure because I couldn't tell what his injuries were.

Anyway, looking back at Rigby, my eyes glared as I yelled, "Rigby!"

I noticed Rigby snatching a pair of binoculars from Muscle Man and looking at my glaring eyes from those. He smiles at me and says, "Heh, so you finally came back after all."

"I had to."

He hands the binoculars back to Muscle Man and asks, "Where's Mordecai?"

I motioned him to come down while saying, "Why don't you come down from there and maybe I'll tell you."

"Hmph, Muscle Man, Hi Fives," Rigby snaps his fingers onto each of them. "Carry me down."

Muscle Man slightly opens his eyes and picks up one-side of the chair from where Rigby was sitting while Hi Five Ghost picks up the other-side of the chair as they both started to carry him down.

I nodded at this. This was just pathetic the way Rigby was treating them, it really disgusted me to see someone who thinks highly of himself and starts stepping on them like there a bunch of insects. The thought of how Martial Artists treat people like this really pisses me off.

"Don't drop me!" Rigby says as they were carrying him down from the roof. "Be careful!"

When they got out of the house and down the steps, Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost were trying to keep balance while trying not to drop Rigby. "Whoa, whoa," Rigby says as they started to lean after they went passed me. "Leaning, leaning!" When they got to a stopping point they sat him down while he said to them, "Here, here! Set me here!"

After that was done, they bowed to him as they left. When they were away from Rigby, they made a run for it back inside the house as I heard them open and slam the door.

"Now, tell me," Rigby says. "Where's Mordecai?"

"Sorry," I answered him. "He's a little preoccupied at the moment. So you're just going to have to deal with me."

"Well, where is he then? I want him to see this when I beat you."

I could tell from the look in Rigby's eyes that he was desperate to see Mordecai. But I psht at him and said, "You really think I'm just going to tell you where he is? I'll tell you what, if you really want to know…" I gave him a serious look. "You're just going to have to beat me."

"Hm-hmm, that sounds like a challenge."

I smiled at him. "That's because it is a challenge." We started circling around each other. "But know this, I have no intention of using my full strength against you. But since this is your first time using this skill…" We stopped while we haven't taken our eyes off of one another. I moved my right foot behind me while making a C-shape turn that caught the dust off the ground and placed my left arm behind me while bringing out my right hand that was facing the front palm in front of me. "I'll go easy on you."

"Well then," Rigby chuckled, then got into position by bringing his fist back. "This'll be over pretty easy."

"Wait!" I bring out a single finger, stopping him before he begins. "There's one more thing before we begin."

"What!" Rigby grunted impatiently.

"If you manage to knock me down on my knees and give me pain in any way. Then maybe I might tell you where Mordecai is."

"Well then," Rigby chuckled. "I'll just have to end this with a single punch."

"Really, is that so?" I smirked at him, then motioned him to come at me while I said, "Then come at me then, if you think you can beat me...in an instant that is."

Rigby charged at me while running on all-fours and shouting. He jumps straight at me while bringing his fist out and slamming my front palm. We were engulfed in light as an explosion came around us, but I stood my ground. I felt Rigby's fist leave my palm as he jumps back, we see there was a crater surrounding us as bits of dirt falls over us. I could hear Rigby laugh at me, thinking that he's already won against me…

But he got a surprise when the dust settled as I was still standing, unfazed and unhurt by Rigby's Death Punch. "What!" He says while having a surprised look. "Why are you not down on your knees and in pain by now?"

"That's because the style that I use allows my body to be immune to any known lethal strikes…" My eyes narrowed. "And that includes Death Kwon Do. So if you want to inflict any real damage on me...you're going to have to hit me really hard. But of course, you can always take my advice and build some muscles on those arms for those weak little punches of yours."

Rigby shouts as he threw another punch, sending out a wave of power towards me as I vanished and reappeared out of the ditch, watching as the ground tore and created another ditch and exploded.

"Rigby!" I shouted as he turned to look at me. "Let's not fight here!" I pointed to where the others were watching from the rooftop. "I don't want them getting caught in the crossfire. So if you wanna beat me…" I smirked at him with confidence. "You're going to have to catch me."

I started running fast as I heard Rigby shout from behind me, "COME BACK HERE, BARNEY!"

As I kept on running, I looked back for a second as Rigby started coming at me on all-fours. He then jumps as he brings out his fist and sends another wave of power towards me, but I vanished and reappeared on a tree. Rigby sees me and throws his fist at me, sending another wave of power. I vanished and reappeared on a rock, my right hand keeping balance as the tree I was on was destroyed, then Rigby throws his fist again and I vanished and reappeared on the ground while hearing the sound of an explosion coming from the boulder I was on and began running once again. I could hear Rigby grunt in irritation and hear the sound of the ground being torn and coming straight at me as I vanished and reappeared on the side of the wing of an airplane. Rigby was looking in all directions while yelling, "Where are you, Barney!"

I put my thumb and pointer finger towards my mouth and gave out a sharp whistle. When Rigby saw me I waved at him while smiling. He then threw a punch, sending another wave of power as I vanish out from the airplane and reappeared behind Rigby while watching as the airplane was destroyed in a massive explosion. Almost like someone dropped a nuke and created a mushroom cloud when it landed. While Rigby was breathing heavily, I tapped on Rigby's shoulder, making him turn around and face me while I nonchalantly tapped his nose with a single finger and saying, "Boop."

Rigby yelped and jumped back slightly while I chuckled at him. He grunts and throws a punch, making me disappear as the ground tore and created yet another ditch and reappear right behind Rigby as I say, "Boo!" Right behind his ear. He yelps again and throws another punch, but this time it was the left fist. I yelped "Whoa!" as I vanished and reappeared away from Rigby as the wave of power that came out of Rigby's left fist, punched a hole through a cloud.

"Whoa…" Rigby says while looking at his left fist. "I didn't know I could do that."

"Well of course you can. What did you expect?" I said as Rigby looked at me. "You can use The Death Punch on not just one fist, but you can use…" My eyes widened at this realization.

Rigby already got the gist as he smirked at me while I muttered, "Oh crap."

I vanished and reappeared in the nick of time as Rigby threw his left fist, then I began running as Rigby began throwing a flurry of punches, tearing the ground apart as a flurry of destruction was coming behind me. I stopped quickly while sliding my feet as the ground tore right in front of me while creating another ditch from Rigby's attack, but I lost my balance and fell on my rear.

I only had just a split second as I vanished and reappeared in the air, just as Rigby threw a punch from where I was at. However, Rigby throws his other fist as I vanish and reappear on the ground, but then began dodging here and there while vanishing and reappearing here and there as Rigby once again began throwing a flurry of punches, creating a big dust cloud as I hear him laugh and say, "You can't dodge forever, Barney!"

Rigby was right, I can't keep dodging like this. So I had no choice...I had to go in close and use my best speed.

I vanished once again as I sped towards Rigby right in front of him, he threw a punch, but my body vanishes as I surround Rigby in afterimages of myself.

"What the…" Rigby's eyes widened as he couldn't believe what I was doing, but his face turned serious again as he threw a punch...nothing happened as I was still all over him, but the ground tore as it created another ditch.

"Huh?" Rigby was dumbfounded as he threw more punches here and there, hoping that one of these afterimages was the real me, but again and again, he missed.

He started breathing heavily again as I said to him, "What's wrong Rigby, running out of steam already?"

He grunts and stood there for a minute, then looks at his fist as he smirks then hums to himself. My eyes widened in disbelief as I couldn't believe what he did…

He literally jumped then brought his right fist towards the ground while shouting!

As the ground blew while creating a crater, I was tossed towards the air, then came down as I gasped. Time seemed to slow down as Rigby was bringing his punch towards the right side of my face, forcing me to defend it as Rigby came into contact on the back side of my right hand. I was pushed back by such force as I flew straight while backflipping a couple of times, then my feet landed on the ground as I skidded and dug through the ground as I tried to stop.

When I finally came to a complete stop...I was down on one knee while clutching my right hand and grunting in pain. I could feel the bones within my right hand break from when Rigby threw that Death Punch right at it. Looking at it while clenching my teeth to bear through the excruciating pain, it was smoking hot. I hear the sound of feet walking towards me, Rigby stops right in front of me and says, "Heh, looks like I finally beat you. Now, tell me where Mordecai is."

I chuckled at him, then raised my head as I looked at him and said, "Not a chance...Rigby."

"Hm, so you wanna get punched again until you talk?"

I chuckled at him again and said, "Don't count me out just yet…" I narrowed my eyes at him. "I'm always up for round two."

"Heh, fine then," Rigby raised a fist while my left and only good hand clenched into a fist as I focused my power and wind began to surround it. "Have it your way."

Rigby grunts and throws his punch while I threw my own punch and shouted "Wa-ta!" as our two fists collided. We were surrounded in a bright dome, then it exploded while we were thrown away from each other. I sailed across the air, then landed on the ground on my back while sliding for a moment, then came to a complete stop while I grunted and had my eyes closed.

"Dude, you okay?" A voice asked me.

I opened my eyes and saw Mordecai...who had the same getup as Rigby. But I wondered while I was keeping Rigby busy until Mordecai came back...What the hell took him so long?!

"Where the H have you been man?" I said while glaring my eyes at him.

"I had to find a comb so I could mullet my hair."

I sighed and thought sarcastically, well that explains a lot.

I raised my hands for Mordecai to help me up, when he tried to go for my busted hand I said, "No, no, no! Not that hand!"

Seeing what I meant, he took my left hand and helped me up.

"Well, well, well," Rigby says as me and Mordecai turn to face him. "Look who decided to show up, and I was just about to beat Barney a second time."

"Wanna bet!" I said as I went to him to finish my second round, but was stopped as Mordecai grabs my shoulder.

I looked at him as he said to me, "I got this."

He goes to Rigby as they stood facing each other. Rigby looks at Mordecai down and up then says, "Looks like you learned the ways of Death Kwon Do."

"Looks like you know how to say things that people are already aware of."

"Whatever!" Rigby says to Mordecai. "You can't handle The Death Punch."

"That sounds like a challenge."

"That's because maybe it is a challenge."

I sighed and nodded while I thought, don't you mean it is a challenge and not maybe. I stood away from them while I said, "Mordecai, be careful."

He looks at me and nods.

"What move did you learn?" Rigby asked.

"Why don't you come over here and find out."

Rigby charges at Mordecai on all-fours as he stood there while I mentally prayed to God he knows what he's doing. Rigby shouts while jumping and punching Mordecai's arm, making me cover my eyes with my left arm as an explosion came while light surrounded them. When I brought down my arm, I saw a crater where bits of dirt fell over Rigby, but when the dust settled...his eyes widened in surprise as he said, "What!"

Mordecai was still standing, unfazed and unhurt from that attack while I sighed in relief.

"How come you're not dead yet?"

"Probably because I learned…" Mordecai pulls a picture of a guy wearing the same outfits as Mordecai and Rigby. "The Death Block!"

I nodded at this while smiling, that was a pretty nice choice. That was the only move that can block any lethal strikes, but unfortunately there were ways around that move.

"It worked pretty good for a first try." Mordecai's eyes narrowed while he smirked. "Either that or your Death Punch totally blows."

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Rigby yelled angrily as he shouted and threw his fist at Mordecai's arm, making another explosion as the crater widened a little, and yet again, it had no effect on Mordecai's Death Block.

"Hm-hmm, you're never gonna beat me at punchies."

Rigby shouted as he threw another punch, then another and another as a pillar of light was coming out of the crater while the crater itself was expanding.

Seeing it expanding to where I was, I backed up while muttering "Crap!" then I lost my balance from the last blow from that light and landed on my rear, then I began quickly crawling away as the crater was starting to expand and it didn't stop as I said, "Crap, crap, crapcrapcrap!" I managed to get up quickly and run towards a tree while going behind it and watching the spectacle play out.

Seeing the pillar of light shoot towards the sky was one of the reasons I liked Martial Arts. Bringing out your full potential while testing out your skills in mortal combat and seeing yourself bring out the inner strength which no one ever could hope to imagine. But from what I learned, there are many different ways for gaining strength and seeing what you could do with this strength is completely up to you.

Anyway, when it died down a little, I went over to the crater, got down on my knees, and looked down, seeing Mordecai and Rigby still standing while Rigby was breathing heavily from using The Death Punch so many times on Mordecai.

"Are you finished yet?" Mordecai says.

"Not until I smash you!" Rigby says as he shouted and threw another punch, creating another explosion.

While he was breathing, I noticed the wall was cracking and lava was flowing out of-Wait what!

"Whoa!" Mordecai says as he points.

"Oh my God!" I muttered.

Rigby looks to where Mordecai was pointing, then looks back at him and says, "What, are you afraid of a little lava?"

Rigby throws another punch, causing more cracks to form as lava was coming out of them.

"Dude, this is serious!" Mordecai says. "We gotta get outta here!"

"He's right!" I shouted while I cupped my left hand. "This is getting dangerous, you need to stop!"

"Never!" Rigby says. "I've already beaten Barney, I won't stop until I beat you at punchies!"

He punched Mordecai three times, causing multiple explosions as the lava was surrounding my two friends.

"Guys!" I gasped. "You have to stop now or you'll get yourselves killed!"

"Dude, he's right!" Mordecai says. "We gotta stop or we're gonna die!"

"I don't care, I'm sick of either you or Barney always winning!"

My eyes widened as I finally understand, Rigby was always determined to win, this was probably the reason he chose to use the style of Death Kwon Do, even if it was selfish. Thinking back, me and Mordecai had always beaten him with us punching either arm until they throbbed, Mordecai punching him from the side or back, me hitting him in the stomach, and man I even remembered that Mordecai kicked him in the crotch while I stood there laughing at his misfortune.

Coming out of my thoughts, I looked at Mordecai as he looked up at me, then I nod at him as he knows what he has to do. If this was the only way to stop the darkness before it consumes Rigby...then so be it.

"I'm not quiting till I win!" I heard Rigby say as I see him continuously throw punch after punch, slowly exhausting himself. After throwing a couple more punches, he stops as he breathes heavily, clearly exhausted.

Mordecai throws his arms towards the air while saying, "Ahhhh, you got me, you got me!" He lays down on the ground, pretending that he was truly defeated. "Ah, you got me, you win! We have to stop now 'cause I lost."

"Ha! I told you I was gonna win, in your face!" Rigby raises his arms in triumph. "Yay, I finally get to be Player 1!"

"What!" I shouted as I couldn't believe what I just heard.

"What!" Mordecai says. "That's what this is about, you just wanted to be Player 1!"

"That's all I ever wanted!" Rigby says.

I glared at Rigby, after all of this...this was all about being Player 1! Being Player 1 are you F-ing kidding me?! I risked my life for this! "Why that little…" I grunted and slammed my right fist on the ground. That was a mistake as I felt a crack and grabbed my right hand while saying, "Ow! Ooo!"

"Dude, you can totally be Player 1." Mordecai says.

Rigby began crying. Seeing this, I nodded while sighing as I heard Mordecai says, "Dude quit crying, I said you could be Player 1."

"I know, but what good is being Player 1 now, we're just gonna die in this lava!"

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that they were still trapped. How in the H are they going to get out of there?

"Don't worry dude," Mordecai says. "I can get us away from the lava."

"Really, how?"

"You think I'm dumb enough to only steal one Death Kwon Do move."

"Wha…"

Wait a minute, he did what now! When I managed to slowly put the pieces together...I slapped myself as I couldn't believe that my two friends actually stole the pages off a sensei's dojo!

"Now how do you want to get outta here?" Mordecai says as I see him bring out two pages. "The Death Jump or The Death Dump?"

"Ah, sick!" Rigby says.

I couldn't agree with him more. But seriously though, why do the Death Kwon Do users have a technique like that? That's just completely weird.

"Better go with The Death Jump."

"Hold on tight!" Mordecai says as Rigby climbs on.

I stood up and watched as Mordecai raised his arm and took off out of the crater before it was filled with lava. Seeing them soar into the air brought a smile on my face as I said, "Might as well join in the fun."

I spread out my legs, I grunted as the clairvoyant aura surrounded me, then I shouted "HAAAA!" as the clairvoyant aura changed to a blue and the wind started to pick up. I crouched down then jumped as I soared into the air, trying to catch-up with my two friends.

When I finally caught up to them, I placed my left hand with my thumb and pointer finger towards my mouth and gave off a sharp whistle. Rigby's jaw and Mordecai's beak dropped when they saw me flying right next to them as Mordecai says, "Dude, you never told us you could fly!"

"I told you, I got skills!" I chuckled.

I sped up ahead of them and stopped right in front of them while saying, "Alright, let's stop here and-"

Mordecai caught on flying and was coming straight towards me. "Dude stop!"

"I don't know how!"

I sighed and rolled my eyes while I placed my left palm towards me and placed my feet back. When Mordecai collided with my palm, we kept on going until I said to Mordecai, "Put your feet in front of you, it can help you slow down."

Mordecai puts his feet in front of him until we finally slowed down and came to a complete stop.

"Alright guys, we need to talk."

"Talk about what, dude?" Mordecai says.

"Well, there are several things. Because first-off, I'm pissed!" My two friends winced when I yelled at the last part. I then floated side to side in a pace-like matter while I listed off the things and simplified on each finger from each one I counted on my left hand. "Using skills with no guidance, using dangerous moves that destroyed public property and maybe I should tell you two that if Benson were to see the damages that you two have caused, he'll be extremely pissed while we all have one helluva mess to clean-up, using abilities that not only injured some of our friends," I pointed my finger at Rigby, "but would've killed them if you hadn't irresponsibly used that move against them!" Rigby looked down with guilt. "And what's even worse, you two literally stole pages from a sensei, which is not only considered taboo, but you two didn't think of the consequences of your actions!"

"Alright dude, we get it!" Mordecai says. "We won't do it again, we promise. Right Rigby?"

Rigby nods.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose and said, "Unfortunately you don't get it…" I looked at them with a serious look. "Martial Arts isn't something to be played with or used for any selfish reasons. You already know that it's used for self-defensive purposes, right?"

"Well yeah, you did say that to us." Rigby says.

"Well, unfortunately it runs deeper than that."

"What do you mean?" Mordecai says with a confused look.

"Take a look around you," I spread out my arms to simplify the sky that we were in. "We're both flying, and were able to stay in the air. Do you know why?"

They both nodded no to me.

"It's the power that we have. Every living creature has this power. However, whether we are prepared for it or not, we all have a choice in what we do with this power. But to learn it, you have to train yourself by body, mind, and soul. If you don't learn to control it, there will be consequences. For example, Rigby remember when I said I wouldn't use my full strength?"

"Well yeah."

"Well here's the reason why." I look over and see a mountain while pointing at it. "You see that mountain over there guys, pay attention and watch what happens." I took a deep breath and focused my power, energy began to gather at my palm until it formed a sphere. I grunted and shouted "HAAA!", launching my energy sphere.

"Whoa, dude that was awesome!" Mordecai says enthusiastically.

"Wait a minute, Mordecai." Rigby says. "Nothing's happened."

I brought out three fingers and counted down while muttering, "Three...two...one...boom!"

A massive explosion came, creating a mushroom cloud as Mordecai and Rigby covered their eyes while a gust of wind brushed over us. When they brought their arms away from their eyes...they gasped as they saw a giant crater from where the mountain once stood, completely gone in an instant.

"You see," they look towards me. "If I didn't hold back, you would've either ended up severely injured or worse...dead."

They gasped again.

"The power that we have is either given to us or others are just simply born with it. But the first thing you have to do is learn how to restrain it. Do you understand now?"

They nodded yes to me.

"Good, but remember, I will hold you to that promise that you will only use these skills for self-defensive purposes only and never to use it for any selfish reasons. So now…" I smiled at them. "Are you two ready to learn?"

"Heck yeah!" Mordecai and Rigby said in unison.

"Very well then, the first thing I'm going to teach you two...is how to fly properly and land. So are you guys ready?"

"Heck yeah man, let's get started!"

"Wait a minute Mordecai," Rigby says to Mordecai. "I don't know how to fly."

"Don't worry," I said. "That's why I'm here, so let's go!"

I powered up my energy as I was once again surrounded in a blue aura, then took off flying as I heard Mordecai say, "Hey, wait for us dude!"

It only took us about half an hour of flight training, and I'll admit, these guys are fast learners. But after that was done, it was time to call it quits. Even though it'll be awhile before my two friends will use Death Kwon Do again, that doesn't mean I can teach them a few moves that might come in handy somewhere in life. As the saying goes "there's always room for improvement".

We were back at the house, my hand was bandaged up while I was watching my two friends play Dig Champs. When the game came to life, Rigby says happily while he was being Player 1 and Mordecai being Player 2, "Ah yes! It's finally happening."

"Yep," Mordecai says, "for once being a huge baby actually worked out for you."

"You got that right," I said. "Maybe you should start crying like a baby and hopefully you'll get what you want."

"STOP TALKING!" Rigby shouted.

We chuckled at him while Mordecai says, "Dude, just hurry up and play. You're just gonna die right at the beginning anyway."

"Meh-meh-meh-meh-meh-meh-meh!" Rigby says rudely while grunting. "I'll show you."

I tapped Mordecai's shoulder and whispered to him, "He'll probably die in three seconds."

Mordecai nodded in agreement as the game began. When Rigby started playing...his character touched a snail as he died. "Ah what! Snails are bad, I thought snails were good?"

"No dude, snails are bad."

"Oh man, this sucks!" Rigby looks at me and asks, "Barney you wanna be Player 1 while I'll be Player 2?"

"Sorry man, no can do," I showed Rigby my bandaged hand. "Hand still busted. Remember?"

"Ah man!"

So another chapter bites the dust. It took me about several months to get this finished, but like said it'll probably be awhile before I post another chapter for this story, due to my commitment with my other stories.

Well since that settles this chapter, time to answer some reviews:

The Phantoms Wyvern: Ahahaha...no. However, his name does remind me of a certain purple dinosaur that I used to watch when I was a kid.

kival737101: Oh, trust me, that part is gonna be planned out and you'll be surprised how this'll turn out.

Dragon Reader 98: I'm very glad that you like my OC, but if you think your gonna like him, then your gonna like my other OC's that I'll add somewhere in the story. But trust me, somewhere in this story...it's going to be one helluva thrill ride!

Well I'll see y'all later for now!
