Chapter 7

Tournament Powerhouses

As Michael and Voltrax took their places on the arena, Voltrax glared at Michael, "I was hoping to face Ibaraki in this round but I guess I can settle with battling the guy who took down Takeshima…"

Voltrax held out his hands and both of them let out a huge blast of fire. Michael quickly punched the ground, making a slab of earth appear in front of him that protected him from the fire.

"You think a rock can protect you from this?" Voltrax said.

The slab that was protecting Michael began to melt! Michael quickly drew a transmutation circle that began to glow, "Transmutation Shield!"

As the rock was fully razed, Voltrax stopped firing and saw Michael was protect by his transmutation circle.

"Not bad…" Michael said, "That's a pretty strong fire attack you just used."

Voltrax's eyes started to glow a bright green, "So you think you can hide behind you pathetic little alchemy circle? I don't know a lot about alchemy and I seen how you fought against that other alchemist…"

Michael dashed forth, dodging all of the fireballs that were being shot at him by Voltrax. Michael tried to throw a punch at Voltrax, but due to Michael only practicing alchemy, failed to throw the punch fast enough. As Voltrax dodged the punch, he crouched down, and punched Michael right in the gut, sending him several feet back. Michael then drew yet another transmutation circle and this time it caused the energy emanating from his hands to become blades of energy, "I know I'm not allowed to use this next technique, but since you work for a bad guy I guess it won't hurt to use it. Plus I'm still exhausted from my last match, so I wanna end this quick."

Michael quickly used the blade of energy on his right hand to create a deep crevice in the arena as he ran around Voltrax, thus forming a huge circle. Michael then used his blades of energy to try to attack Voltrax…and he missed.

"Your aim is terrible!" Voltrax exclaimed.

Michael just grinned, "Yea, but look around you."

Voltrax did just that and seen he was standing in the middle of a star that was inside the big circle he made, "What the heck is this?"

"You are currently standing in the middle of a pentagram." Michael said, "You are pretty much finished from here."

As Voltrax knew what he was standing on, he started to panic and move. But as he began to make a move, he notice that his legs felt like two-ton cinderblocks. Voltrax surprisingly grinned as he softly said, "I guess this is it…"

"What's a pentagram?" Gregory asked.

"A pentagram is a very powerful alchemy move that will kill anything that is in the middle of it." Kane said, "It's one of the most deadliest moves in existence."

Then, five narrow pillars of electrical light shot up from all five points of the star. Michael's eyes then glowed as he yelled, "Pentagram of Death!"

The pillars of light quickly made their way to the center of the star. As the pillars collided, Voltrax just grinned as his body started to disintegrate, "I may have lost and failed my mission to defeat Ibaraki…but Galatrax will be here to kill every single one of you very soon. So enjoy the rest of this tournament while you can…because those will be your final moments alive…"

Then huge pillar of electrical light vanished with the star remaining. The announcer was silent and said, "Well…uh…I guess that's it. The winner of the first quarterfinal match is Michael Hiroshima."

The crowd cheered as Michael walked off the arena. Reagon looked at Kane, "I guess we'll need to save our energy before we battle Galatrax."

Kane grinned and said, "So we're gonna have to exert more force on these guys and end the matches quick, right?"

"Exactly…but not enough to kill them." Reagon said.

"Alright, we will now begin the second round of the quarter finals! Izuna Tsukuyoma vs. Reagon Ibaraki!"

Izuna then glanced over nervously at Reagon who had a funny, yet shocked expression on his face, I have to face Reagon next? If I barely beat that Jiramaru person in the first round…there is no possible way I can beat a member of the Ibaraki Clan! Unless I can use something else to beat him.

"Hey, Reagon," Izuna said innocently as she walked onto the arena, "You're gonna go easy on me right?"

Reagon just stood there flabbergasted, "Well…uh…"

"Don't let her good looks get to you Reagon." Gregory joked as Reagon began to take his place on the arena.

"I'll try not to." Reagon joked back.

"Let the second match of the quarterfinals begin!" the announcer yelled.

Izuna moved her right hand through her flowing pink hair and said, "So Reagon…have you ever fought a girl before?"

Reagon started to get in his fighting stance and said, "Not that I know of…but you know I can't lose, right?"

Izuna's hypnotic eyes then glowed as she said, "Yea…but it'd be pretty nice if I could win a match against the legendary warrior. I'm gonna show you my psychic abilities as well as my lightning powers."

Izuna's glowing eyes then shot yellow waves and they it Reagon, he started to feel a tingle in his body. Reagon then felt himself falling asleep as he started to stagger back and forth, "What the heck is happening to me?"

Izuna let out a small grin as her hands started to generate electricity, "Well I just hit you with one of my hypnotic spells. If anyone gets hit by it, they are temporarily put into state of wooziness and paralysis. I also like to use this technique to get the upper hand on my opponents."

Reagon had a grin appear on his face as he regained his stance, "Clever…but it'll take a lot more than hypnotism to get the best of me."

Izuna was shocked as she realized the attack had almost no effect on him whatsoever. Gregory and Ryota's eyes widen at the fact that Reagon just pulled another stunt; first he did not get a scratch on his body when he battled Alpha and now he was just messing around when he got hit by Izuna's hypnotism.

"This is awesome!" Gregory said as he seen Reagon grinned at Izuna for her failure.

Michael looked inquisitively at Kane, " So I didn't get to see how Reagon battled the first round. Care to fill me in on the details?"

Kane continue to focus his eyes on Reagon and Izuna picking up the pace in their battle as they began exchanging energy blasts, "Well…Reagon faced a guy who worked for Rayclopsalon named Android Alpha. After Alpha used a powerful technique called 'Hell Storm', Reagon amazingly survived the attack and did not have a single scratch on his body. Reagon then used one of his attacks called 'Final Blaze Attack', punching Alpha, and Alpha used his 'Full Powered Energy Blast' and Reagon used his 'Final Impact'…the blasts collided, tearing up the field in the process. Reagon's blast got the best of Alpha and he disintegrated…and that's how he made it to this round."
Michael then began to study on the fight currently underway, So technically I have to bring everything I have got if I face Reagon in the next round…or if I face this guy. Something just does not feel right about this guy's energy.

The crowd cheered in excitement as Izuna got blasted back by Reagon. Izuna's hands started to generate electricity as she Reagon gave a small, yet seductive look into his mystical eyes, "You know…for a warrior who's been dead for fifty years, you're very strong. I've never seen anyone as strong as you are"

Reagon started to blush as he said as he looked into her eyes, "Well…uh…thanks. And for a young chick you're pretty strong, too."

"Reagon!" Ryota yelled which seemed to quickly catch Reagon's attention and he yelled, "It's a trap!"

Reagon gave Ryota a look of curiosity and said, "What in the world are you talking about?"

"If you look into Izuna's eyes, you are bound to be hypnotized and she'll zap the crud outta you!" Gregory proclaimed as he felt good to be helping the legendary warrior in his battle.

"I'm aware of her powers but don't you think-" Reagon's sentence was stopped when Izuna yelled, "Static Razor!" The electric blade caught Reagon by complete surprise as it rammed him in the face cutting him in the face, and to everyone's surprise, the attack did leave a mark!

"Oh snap!" the announcer yelled, "The young and beautiful Izuna just gave Reagon his first injury! This is a shocker…no pun intended!"

Reagon started to sit up and he noticed blood rushing out of the huge cut on his left cheek. He touched his cheek with his hand, wiped the blood off of his face, and started to tremble when he looked at it, "Mom…"

This word caught everyone's surprise, especially the people he was traveling with.

Gregory looked stupefied as he tried to replay what Reagon said, "Did he just say 'Mom'?"

Kane then went into a state of shock as he said, "No…it can't be! There is no possible way that this guy is actually him! That's the reason why this guy doesn't remember what happened fifty years ago!"

Gregory and Ryota both looked as Kane and were about to speak, but Michael took the words right out of their mouths, "What are you talking about?"

Kane, who was still shocked that he could not believe he did not find out sooner, said, "Reagon said he didn't remember what happened during his battle fifty years ago…"

Gregory's eyebrow raised, "He's probably suffering from amnesia. What's the big deal?"

Kane lowered his eyes on Gregory, "The reason that he doesn't remember anything is because he was killed when he was two years old!"

Ryota then cut in, "Wait so you mean that this guy is not the legendary hero that beat the Dark Leviathan?"

"No…I can't believe I couldn't tell their energy levels apart. The guy who defeated the Dark Leviathan was Reagon Toriyama Ibaraki. This guy is his son…" Kane began looking back at Reagon, "Reagon Mitoshi Ibaraki!"

Reagon went back into a flashback of what happened several years ago…

"Boys, get to safety!" a female voice yelled.

Rygon yelled, "Mom, we're not leaving you behind!"

Roegon tried to pull the mom to the safety room, but the mom was too strong as she broke from his grip, "Mom, why won't you come with us?"

The mom started to tear up as she took them into the safety room, "I'm going to hold off the people who killed our other family members! Whatever happens, don't leave that room until your father gets here!"

The two boys did as they were told and hurried into the secret room under the carpet in the middle of the living room. As the mom was about to close the door, Rygon noticed something and yelled, "Wait! Where is Reagon?!"

But the mom did not notice because as soon as she closed the door, two big and tall figures busted through the door and with serrated blades of energy extending from each of their fingers.

"So I guess this'll be quick and painless! It's two against one." one of the tall figures (Figure A) said.

The other figure (Figure B) grinned, "Actually, I sense three other people here."

Figure A narrowed his eyes on the female, "I see…I wonder if their blood tastes any good…"

Figure B let out a small laugh, "We'll kill her when we figure out where the three kids are."

"Why don't we just trash the place and find them? I am getting anxious to kill the wife of the powerful Reagon Ibaraki. We've killed all the Ibaraki clan members except for Reagon and his little family." Figure A said as he started to hold up his serrated hands.

Figure B sighed as he raised up his hands, "Well I agree…let's have some fun!"

Meanwhile, under the small stack of clothes, little Reagon peeked around the stack when he heard his mom scream and witnessed her being brutally slashed and blood flying everywhere.

"Stop!" yelled Reagon as he emerged from the clothes and ran toward his nearly dead mom.

"Reagon get away from-" the mom ended her sentence when a blade of energy came piercing through her heart. As she crashed to the floor motionless, Reagon kneeled down next to her with tears in his eyes, "Mom! Don't die! Please!"

The mom give a small smile as she touched Reagon's cheek with her blood covered hands, "Please Reagon…protect your brothers and your father. I….love…you…"

As her eyes closed, Figure A looked at Reagon with his blood stained hands, "Well there is one of the kids…and wouldn't you know, he's only a two year old. This is gonna be fun!"

Reagon lowered his head and started to growl while still holding his mom close to him. As black energy started to emanate from his body in the form of what looked like a dragon, his fingernails turned into very sharp claws, all of his teeth became serrated, his slim body began getting more muscular (thus making him as tall as the figures), and to complete the transformation as he looked at the figures, his eyes became more sinister as his round pupils turned into vertical slits.

Figure A started to grin as he stared down the dragon-like Reagon, "Aw…isn't that cute? We made the little kid mad and now he made himself look like he's possessed by that legendary ten tailed dragon demon that was said to have been sealed away two years ago!"
As Figure B looked deep into Reagon's eyes, he started to tremble, "It's because…he is possessed by the dragon!"
Figure A looked into Reagon's dragon-like eyes and began to laugh manically as he began to attack Reagon with his right hand, "Well it looks like he is! Oh well…he is just a kid with a dragon inside of him! We can still kill him with ease!"

"Wait!" Figure B yelled. But it was too late, as Reagon let out a bloodcurdling roar as he gently put his mom's body aside, Reagon caught the guy's right hand and tore it right off of his body! Figure A then tried to attack Reagon with his left hand but it was ripped off of his body as well! Figure A was then disarmed (here is a good pun). Figure B then nearly broke down in tears as he witnessed the next thing that happened…Figure A then tried to head butt Reagon, but Reagon caught the figure's head in the palm of his hand, and crushed the figure's head and tore apart the remains of Figure A. Figure B quickly dashed for the door but was intervened by Reagon as he used his claws and gouged out Figure B's eyes. As Figure B started to scream in pain with blood flowing out of his eyes, Reagon quickly shut him up as he shredded Figure B's head into millions of pieces. Reagon then, using his bloody claws, ripped up the rest of Figure B's body, leaving the place a gory mess. As Reagon let out another blood-curdling roar as he began to revert to his normal self.

The Father Reagon burst through the entrance and his eyes widened in disbelief at the sight. He seen the entire room covered in blood and what looked like body parts on scattered across the entire area. Father Reagon looked up and seen little Reagon kneeled next to the mom, "Reagon what-" Father Reagon stopped and a cold shiver went down his spine when he seen little Reagon look at him with the sinister dragon eyes and blood caked all over him, No…I am too late…

Then the door to the room underground burst open and Roegon yelled, "Dad is everything-" Both Rygon and Roegon began freaking out when they seen the room covered in blood in the body parts of the dead figures and the body of their mom in little Reagon's arms as his eyes returned to normal.

Reagon began to stand up still eyeing the blood on his hands. Kane then said, "So I'm guessing that the massacre of his mother caused him to have hemophobia; or the fear of blood."

Gregory looked at Reagon and yelled, "Reagon, snap out of it!"

Reagon shook his head and regained most of his senses. Reagon made a menacing look at Izuna and said, "I'm sorry Izuna but you just forced me to play rough!"

Reagon's eyes began to glow as he started to raise his right hand up towards his face. Izuna was about to dash toward Reagon, but when Reagon took a small step, he was already less than three inches away from Izuna!

"Whoa…he's fast!" Ryota exclaimed as he looked like he was on the edge of his seat.

"Actually, he's using the true Final Style techniques. He just warped space and made it look like he was moving fast, but he stepped into a portal and zipped his body to its current location." Kane said.

"That is awesome!" Gregory said as he we awed by Reagon's signature abilities.

Izuna was about to step back, but Reagon landed a powerful punch on Izuna's face and sent her crashing into the arena floor unconscious.

The announcer pointed in Reagon's direction and hollered, "And the winner of the second quarterfinal match is Reagon Ibaraki!"

The crowd cheered as Reagon carried Izuna towards the infirmary. Gregory and Ryota rushed over to Reagon and asked, "Is she ok?"

Reagon nodded, "Yea…she's ok? I only hit her hard enough to where she would only be knocked out for a few minutes. I'm gonna take her to the infirmary and let her get some rest."

As Reagon headed towards the infirmary with Izuna in his arms, Ryota looked concerned, "So is Kane serious about this being the young two year old Reagon and not the legendary Reagon?"

Gregory shook his head, "I'm not sure…he looks exactly like the legendary Reagon."

As they walked over to where Michael and Kane were and noticed that Kane, the martial arts fighter named Android Beta, Gregory, and Ryota still have not battled yet!

"Alright everybody, it's time for the third match of the quarterfinals!" the man yelled as the crowd roared in excitement. Kane, Android Beta, Gregory, and Ryota all glanced at each other as the announcer then yelled, "Our contestants for the third match will be the young freshmen from Jordansville High School! Gregory Sendai vs. Ryota Hayami!"
