Umeko's POV
'Now I'm ready to face my father thanks to the extra training Machiko and Miyuri gave us'
I tightened my fists and got excited.
~~~flashback~~~
"Ugh, my Dragon Force and Drive aren't cooperating well with the Elemental Amulet..." Hatsumi whined.
It's already been a week and both Hatsumi and I were still making no progress.
"Have you tried trying to be one with nature instead of trying to fuse those two powers together," Machiko bluntly asked.
Both Miyuri and Machiko were staring at us.
Silence...
Me and Hatsumi immediately crossed our legs and tried to be one with nature, me connecting with the element of lightning and Hatsumi the element of earth. I got red from embarrassment and Hatsumi must be feeling the same thing. I even remembered when my dad abandoned me in a forest just for me to get 'stronger'.
I cringed at the memory. I calmed down and inhaled and exhaled. Lightning began to circle my body and I felt its power. The same thing was happening to Hatsumi.
"Good, now release that energy of your element," Miyuri instructed.
We both released our energy and opened our eyes.
"Good," Machiko said with a grin.
Miyuri giggled.
"You should be ready for trying to fuse those two powers together now, start with Dragon Drive since its a lot easier," Machiko said.
"Easier?" Hatsumi questioned.
Machiko nodded her head, "Yes, I used Dragon Drive before to at least give you an idea how powerful you can become and to not get too cocky."
She smirked and winked at the last part and both Hatsumi and I sighed.
"Dragon Force is an ancient technique that requires a lot of energy, time, and practice and if you're going to try and fuse it with the power of the Elemental Amulet, try to fuse Dragon Drive first," Machiko explained.
Both me and Hatsumi nodded and summoned our Dragon Drives. We crossed our legs and took deep breaths.
I was feeling lightning shooting through my very insides but not inflicting any pain in me whatsoever. I concentrated even harder but eventually stopped and fell back. I panted heavilly and opened my eyes. Machiko looked over at me with worried eyes and Miyuri did the same. I felt humiliated and disappointed.
"Umeko, you have to be one with your element," Miyuri explained.
"That's what I'm doing," I bluntly said.
"No you're not, you're concentrating on fusing those two powers together," Machiko face palmed.
*Swoosh* *Crash* *Bang*
All three of us looked over to Hatsumi who had her appearance changed like Machiko before. Oh! Do I envy her.
She had a light brown robe connected to a buckle on her tight brown shorts, small leather boots that covered her ankles. Her top was a brown bikini top with a chocolate brown ribbon above her right arm. She also had white ribbons on her hands that covered half of her arm. She had small daggers with a brown cloth from the handle on her waist on both sides. Her hair was down and had a white headband with gold swirls, and in the center of the headband, Hatsumi's copy of the Elemental Amulet was on it.
Hatsumi looked at her new form and yelped in glee, "Yippee! This is so awesome, and the power, it feels amazing!"
She had stars in her eyes and I simply laughed.
"Good," Miyuri complimented with a smile.
"But can you try and use it," Machiko questioned with a smirk.
She pointed at a small part in the mountain and Hatsumi nodded eagerly.
"Well let 'er rip," Machiko grinned.
Hatsumi closed her eyes and flew up to the sky. She stumbled a little but kept her posture straight. She took a deep breathe, "Soil from the earth, rocks of the underground. Thou shall come forth to me, lend me your strength, CRASH!"
Hatsumi opened her eyes and yelled.
"Chi ryū no tsume!" (Earth Dragon's Claw)
An Earth-like wave rushed out from Hatsumi's legs while she was doing a flip in the sky and the attack went directly at the edge of the mountain. Pieces of the moutain was falling and sliding down. Machiko looked impressed, Miyuri smiled, Hatsumi giggled and cheered, and I sat there with my face looking retarted as ever.
I started to feel a little down and Miyuri noticed it, "Don't worry Umeko-san. This training is different for everyone."
I smiled, "Hai, arigatou for your concern."
I resumed to what I was doing, feeling a little bit more confident. No, I am sure I can do it.
I clentched my fists, inhaled and exhaled, and became one with nature.
I felt lightning strike throughout my body and I felt power, immense power. I felt invisible and then I was enveloped in a bright yellow light.
Normal POV
Machiko, Miyuri, and Hatsumi looked over to Umeko who was covered in a bright yellow light in the appearance of a tornado.
"She's finally done it," Machiko smiled.
"Yep," Miyuri giggled.
"YEAH! WOO-HOO! YOU GO TEHRE UMEKO!" Hatsumi cheered from above.
The lightning went away and Umeko walked out from the smoke, her appearance changed and determination flamed in her eyes.
She wore a yellow bikini top with a white cape covering her back attached by a round, silver buckle on her left shoulder in the front. She had a yellow bikini bottom with a brown belt hanging loosely around her waist, and attached to that was a whip with a white handle and a yellow ribbon attached. She also had the ribbon on her right wrist and that was accompanied by a pair of short, white gloves that exposed her fingers (Like Ash from Pokemon ^0^). The original Elemental Amulet was on her right glove and her hair was braided to a side braid. She wore white slip-ons and looked up at her friends.
"So watcha' think?" she said filled withe excitement.
"You did a good job," Miyuri compliemented.
"Now try it to make sure," Machiko smirked.
"YEAH UMEKO! TRY IT!" Hatsumi yelled from the sky.
"Why is she still up there..." Umeko wishpered to Machiko.
"I don't know, she's got the power thing all over her head," Machiko smirked.
"HEY! I HEARD THAT!" Hatsumi pouted rather loudly in the air.
The girls laughed and Umeko flew up next to Hatsumi. She stumbled a lot and accidentally did a flip. She got her consciousness back and tried to fly again, without stumbling.
She regained her posture and looked at Hatsumi with happy eyes. Hatsumi did the same.
Now Umeko was ready and she took deep breathes, "Sparks from the skies in the clouds above me, may thy command you come forth thou and rays of light. STRIKE!"
Lightning covered and sparked all over Umeko's arms and she opened her eyes, "Kaminari ryū no tsubasa no kōgeki!" (Lightning Dragon's Wing Attack)
Two beams of lightning was shot out of her arms and you could still hear the static in the static elentricity~ ( Oh ho ho ho. Pandalover, you jokester you *sarcastic* xD ). The two beams intersected and formed an X which directly hit the mountain. Huge chunks of rocks came crashing down from the distance and you could hear them crash.
"Waoh, CONGRATS UMEKO!" Hatsumi congratulated.
Machiko and Miyuri cheered below and Umeko felt proud.
"Come down now, you can't stay up there forever you know," Machiko laughed.
Both girls giggled and came down. They returned back to their original clothes and group hugged.
"Come back tomorrow," Machiko instructed.
Both girls nodded their heads and went home.
timeskip to the next day after training...
"Well, it seems like you two have been training hard enough and it looks like you two mastered it too," Miyuri giggled.
Machiko nodded her head in agreement.
"So are you ready to face your father Umeko?" Hatsumi asked with concerned eyes.
The atmosphere around the girls suddenly darkened.
"Yeah, thanks to you, Miyuri, and Machiko, I can face my father now. Arigatou for the support you guys," Umeko thanked her friends, meaning every word she said.
The girls smiled softly and group hugged.
"But use your increased strength and magic power without the amulet," Miyuri warned.
Umeko looked confused.
"Remembered when those Dark Wizards of the World appeared before you Umeko-san?"
"Yeah..."
"Well, the last person who possessed me was a member of your father's dark guild. And I believe that your great-grandfather was my former master," Miyuri darkly said.
Umeko seemed shock and nodded her head.
"So use the Elemental Amulet during times of need," Miyuri said again befire she disappeared.
Umeko seemed quiet for a moment, "Well, I'm gonna head home. Bye guys, arigatou for the help."
"Bye Umeko," Hatsumi waved.
"Good-luck," Machiko smiled.
~~~end of flashback~~~
