The World Begins With Me
I just wanted to this as quickly as possible.
Chapter 4: Existence
Friday morning
As he started to wake up Neku realized he was already at the training grounds.
Neku: The hell? Did I do first gear in my sleep?
Neku thought about what happened yesterday and what he talked to Po about.
Neku: I won't give up I can't not when people believe in me. I'll start training now.
Back in the bedrooms everyone was waking up.
Everyone: Good morning master!
Shifu: Good morning everyone.
Shifu had realized that Neku was the only one missing.
Shifu: Po where is the boy?
Po: I don't know he was here with me last night but when I woke up he wasn't here.
Tigress: So he quit.
Po and Bombo: No way he quit!
Then everyone started to hear music in the distant.
Monkey: It's coming from the training grounds.
Shifu: Everyone hurry!
Po: It might be Neku.
Everyone rushed to the training grounds to see Neku training on his own.
Po: See he didn't quit.
Shifu: I didn't expect him too.
Mantis: What is he doing?
Crane: I think he's dancing.
Crane was right Neku went straight from training to dancing he didn't realize anyone was there since his headphones were on full blast and his eyes were closed. Amazingly everyone liked it but it stopped when Shifu took his headphones off.
Neku: What happened to the song? Oh! Um good morning everyone how long were you guys there?
Bombo: Long enough to see Neku dance.
Po: Pretty funny huh master… master?
Strangely Shifu was distracted by the music coming from the headphones.
Neku: Um can I have my headphones back if you're done listening?
Shifu: Huh? Oh yes but if you're going to wear them turn down the music so you can hear.
Neku: Yes sir!
Shifu: Now what were you doing here?
Neku had told everyone what happened besides the five Po, Shifu, and Bombo seemed happy.
Po: Good to know you didn't quit..
Neku: Who said I quit?
Bombo: Tigress.
Neku: No surprise there.
Tigress: What was that?
But thankfully Shifu stopped her.
Shifu: So why didn't you quit?
Neku: A promise. I promised someone that I wouldn't quit. I didn't say it to there face though I was kind of… scared.
Po knew it was him Neku promised and smiled.
Shifu: So are you ready to train? The best way to learn how to fight is to fight.
Neku: Bring it on yo!
Shifu: Let's get started.
With a snap of his fingers they started Neku first fought Viper.
Neku's mind: Alright I might know what she's going to do so I might have a chance.
Viper: Are you ready?
Neku: Let's go!
Viper went for Neku's legs but he jumped just in time and attacked with a few punches and kicks. But Viper grabbed his leg swung him into the air and slammed him to the ground.
Neku: Alright! Let's go some more!
Shifu snapped his fingers again and the next fight started first it was against Monkey with bamboo sticks. Neku blocked every hit except the last one, Next was Crane Neku tried to hold his balance on the sticks he was standing but fell to the ground, last was Mantis it was just over Neku was unable to see him and got slammed to the ground.
Neku: So who's next?
Shifu: I am.
Everyone was shocked the last time Shifu did this was with Po.
Neku: Let's get started then.
Shifu: Step forward!
Shifu whirled him around and slammed him to the ground.
Shifu: The true path to victory is to find your opponents weakness and make him suffer for it!
Neku: Yeah got it!
Shifu: To take his strength and us it against him! Until he finally falls or quits!
Neku: That's maybe so but I won't ever quit!
Shifu threw him into the air and was about to kick him to the stairs but Neku vanished from in front of him and came right behind him.
Shifu: You did the first gear?
Neku: Nope it's called the blink step. Kind of the same but very different. Now let's heat things up!
Neku used the blink step to move at high speeds he went so fast it looked like there was more than one of him.
Neku: Here I come!
Neku threw a punch at Shifu and actually hit him he kept at it but Shifu blocked some and gotten some direct hits as well.
Shifu: Very good.
Neku: Now to end it!
He did the blink step one more time hoping to get him from behind Shifu turned around. But Neku stayed right where he was and then charged at Shifu with a strong attack when making a direct hit His hand was in a burst of blue energy and when twisting his fist Shifu went flying to the ground.
Neku: I… got… you!
Neku fainted and fell to the ground.
Po: Neku! Neku!
Bombo: Is he ok?
Shifu: Don't worry he's just sleeping it would take something big to defeat him.
Neku had waked up in a room in searing pain.
Neku: Ow! The hell!
Mantis: Calm down I'm using acupuncture to take the pain away.
Neku: Ow it feels like you're giving me more pain ow!
Viper: Don't worry he's done this many times. I must say you are very extraordinary.
Neku: I am? Ow watch it!
Mantis: Yeah she's right the way you took on Shifu was amazing! It was just like Po only you didn't get beat up a lot.
Neku: Where is he and where's Bombo?
Viper: There both in the kitchen Po's making something to eat.
Neku: Oh I am kind of hungry. OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
After the agonizing pain Neku started to walk to the kitchen until he saw Shifu in his room meditating.
Shifu: Inner peace… Inner peace.
Neku's mind: I wonder if he's… well only one way to find out.
Neku quietly went into Shifu's room and reached carefully for his sides.
Shifu: Inner peace… Inner pfthahahahah!
Neku was surprised to figure out that Shifu was ticklish, extremely ticklish he almost laughed himself but he first used first gear to teleport before Shifu saw him. Then he quickly ran to the kitchen while laughing.
Po: Soup's on!
Everyone except Tigress ate Po's noodles and thought it was delicious.
Bombo: More please!
Po: Finished already. Well wait a minute so Neku can have some.
Crane: Once again he's shown that he's definitely weird.
Neku overheard the conversation and was about to walk away instead he listened some more.
Crane: But he seems to be a good kid.
Viper: He's really nice when you get to know him.
Mantis: Yeah that and he can take a beating.
Monkey: You're right.
Tigress: I'll admit he's interesting.
Neku was happy to hear those things. He acted like he didn't hear anything when he entered though.
Po: Neku how are you feeling?
Neku: Well besides just having a thousand needles on my back just fine.
Bombo: Neku try this!
Neku sat down and was given a bowl of Po's noodles. He was hesitant at first since he never tried it before but when trying some he went anime style having hearts in his eyes.
Neku: This is the food of the gods! You are an awesome cook Po!
Po: Glad you liked it consider it a gift for getting some hits on Shifu. By the way was that last move of yours?
Neku: I don't know. It looked similar to Black Stars big soul wave from soul eater though. I guess it's new.
Bombo: What are you gonna call it?
Neku: I think psych soul wave. It was the same but it had the power of a psych so I'll call it that.
Just then Neku's phone rang it was Joshua.
Joshua: Hey there Neku how's it going?
Neku: What do you mean I erased the noise a day ago now you cal me?
Joshua: You thought that was it? There's more coming after you and they'll be going through anything that gets in their way.
Neku looked at everyone worrying if they would get erased by the noise for protecting him.
Joshua: Well just letting you know bye.
As the phone was hanging up Shifu had came in.
Po: Master Shifu want some?
Shifu: I'd love some.
Once getting a bowl he sat next to Neku.
Shifu: I have to say you were a challenge for me.
Neku: That so?
Shifu: Yes you gotten better keep going and you'll be amazed at what you can do.
Neku was happy but then remembered what Joshua said. "I have to leave!" he said in his mind. With that he left with out saying anything.
Po: Neku Where are you going?
He ran down the stairs but was blocked by Shifu.
Shifu: Where are you going?
Neku: I can't… I can't do this!
Shifu: Why?
Neku: I don't want anyone to get hurt. Joshua told me the noise are after me and they'll erase anything that gets in their way. I have to run away from here so nobody gets hurt there's no other way!
Shifu: Yes there is you can fight them! You have the strength to beat them why don't you believe that?
Neku had gotten mad and started talking back.
Neku: Shut up! Stop talking!
Shifu: What?
Neku: You don't know anything about me. My life… my life was hell. I felt like there wasn't a place for me anywhere I felt alone I thought I shouldn't exist.
Shifu: …
Neku: And When I came back to life like this I thought about it even more! But it started to change Po, Bombo, and the five they made me feel happy about myself and kept me going that's why I can't let them get hurt because of my problem. So screw you like you know anything about me!
Shifu: You should still stay. So then I can get to know you.
Neku: … Fine but then I leave!
Neku started walking to his room until he saw Po and Bombo.
Neku: You heard me?
Bombo: *sobs* Yes.
Po: I don't get it if you care about us to worry why do you push us away like that?
Neku could only think of one thing to say.
Neku: Cause I don't get people. Never have never will.
To be continued
I actually used some words Neku said at the beginning of the game chapter 5 coming soon.
