Within the Twilight

Kenji Arc 3

Chapter 3: A Light in the Darkness

A/N: After that chapter, we all need a breather. So this chapter is focusing on Kenji and crew on their training. So some much needed fluff, romance, and comedy at last.

Last time on Within the Twilight, we delved into the horrid and despicable town of Farmer's Fields. That's as far as I'm recapping. UGH! That chapter. Now we focus back on Kenji and his crew is up too…I'm off to puke and pray for my soul.

Now going back to Quahog wasn't idea they all had at first, but they agreed it was best for the moment. He did need to train them and plus anything they did elsewhere is a risk at best. Besides, nobody will give a damn if Quahog gets damaged. Arriving back, they all found it a ghost town. Everybody was chased out. Funny, this left our anti-heroes with ample stuff to raid. But first things first with Kenji as he helped created cybernetics to augment Stewie. With them, he'd have to make adjustments along with the telekinesis. Other than that, they were resting and goofing off before they used my BlackTab to see what was going on in Farmer's Fields. Let's just say, they weren't pleased.

Now, he was in the park with Lana and Meg to train. Kenji needed to vent and this was perfect for him. Kenji was changed into a simple grey tank top, black gi bottoms, and white boots. Meg wore the same except they were in her color scheme sans hat and glasses. She opted to wear contacts in training. Lana wore a white shirt with tight spandex bike/compression shorts that reach her upper thighs, black gloves, green shoes, and gold hair clips. While she didn't have to dress like Ms. Fanservice all the time, Kenji assumed she was doing all her life so much, she's too used to it.

So he got to training the two how to control one's ki, and they were all on meditative stances.

"The key is this is channeling it through intense focus. Once you complete this, firing ki will be quite easy." Kenji remarked.

"I thought you were teaching me power up combat." Lana said as Meg was trying to focus.

"Yes, but I at least want you to be balanced in this regard. This way, we can all at least fly, detect others, and shield ourselves when necessary." Kenji said to her. "Now focus."

Meg had to look deep within herself for tapping into a power that shouldn't be there. Meg struggled trying to concrete on making of getting inner power in her hands.

"Come on! How hard is it to channel this?!" Meg raged in her head.

Within her mind, a familiar person appeared. Meg's face grew sour seeing him. Peter Griffin stood here casually walked up to her like nothing was wrong. Unbeknownst to her, she was glowing blood red. Peter didn't notice as he stopped in front of her and he was in his redneck outfit (*you know the episode).

"Meg, I'm a redneck again. And that spook made you hot, I am about to do something to you that you will not remember until you're 40." Peter said with his pants falling to ground. "Now shut up and get to suc-urrgh!"

Meg had punched the fat man right in the gut getting him to spew out blood and his intestines. She had performed this attack fueled with ki.

"Meg, you wouldn't kill you…urghh…your old man. I just wanted to diddle my daughter." Peter said gagging on his blood. "Because comedy."

Meg began to think her dad's forms of comedy and a sadistic smile curled on her lips.

"Sorry Peter, I couldn't find it funny." Meg said extending her index and middle fingers forward and charges a red energy sphere while streaks of electricity surround his body. "But I do find this funny!"

She let loose with her free hand charging the attack, firing it in the form of energy wave completely atomizing Peter Griffin within her mind.

"Meg! Open your eyes!" Lana screamed.

Meg snapped open her eyes and she found herself in the same position as she was firing the attack sweating profusely. Lana explained to Meg that she was sweating heavily and that Kenji was shaking her trying to snap her out of it.

"But you punched him in the gut really hard and you blasted him into what was that building." Lana said pointing to the smoldering remains.

"Oh my gosh! What have I done?! I'm abusive just like my parents!" Meg said beginning to tear up.

"No you're not." Kenji asked walking up to them.

He was messed up from the blast hurling him through an office building. His upper body was cut up from crashing through glass and his tank top was pretty much disintegrated from being at close range. But his body started to heal the injuries.

"You were fighting a mental battle and I was just an unlucky bastard." Kenji remarked dusting himself off. "Other than that, you did great. You commanded a ki attack."

Meg couldn't help but blush at his praise, but she noticed Meg's firm look. He noted he could have done this the easy way while he crashed through that building. Laying a hand on Meg, he telepathically passed on the basics of ki usage to her.

"Wait, you could have just transferred the knowledge?! What the hell?" Meg said fuming.

"One, it doesn't always work. Two, I've never actually tried it. Three, this technique is usually used to read minds." Kenji said to her as his body fully recovered. "And lastly, you still need to at least know how to do it. Even with the knowledge, you still need to get comfortable using it."

Lana couldn't help but side with Kenji on this, but passed it on to Lana using the same method before sitting on the ground wanting to rest for a bit.

"So Meg, tell me what you saw in your head?" Kenji asked.

"Peter wanting to molest me." Meg said bluntly.

"Oh." Kenji said disappointed.

He couldn't joke about it, but suddenly he twitched violently. He fired a ki blast far into the air.

"I don't know where, but some rich prick is talking shit about my family!" Kenji raged. "And why do I have to the urge to call Ryder?"

"Ryder one of your brothers?" Lana asked curiously.

"Yeah, he's my older brother." Kenji remarked calming down. "He's not one to kill a man over butchering our family name. He prefers to break limbs."

Kenji would continue training Lana and Meg in forms of ki combat meaning he had to physical push them to get the ki out. Progress was going along nicely with Meg, who had experience in streetfighting and an insane amount of endurance and stamina from all the abuse. It was easy to get into the discipline styles of martial arts. Kenji opted for a mixed martial arts style for Meg, essentially "Anything Goes". For Lana, Kenji had to take in account her body shape and lack of experience. While he gave her some form of kickboxing, he had to find a solid style for her. However, other than that training went well for the trio on the first day with Lana showing good promise for using fire flowers. The tired triad trio returned to the Griffin house. Brian was polishing his new firearm. Stewie had ripped off Doom to give Brian an experimental backpack to pull out a plethora of murder machines.

"So Stewie, ripped off Wolfenstein?" Kenji said with a smirk.

"Don't worry, they are all laced with electro-plasma rounds. Stewie, even got a bit of ki signatures out of the bodies before you destroyed." Brian said still polishing.

Kenji smiled not because he's seen ki laced weapons before, but because he had an idea. The perfect middle finger to the Frost family. Getting his BlackTab, he spawned a familiar gold-plated Desert Eagle.

"Stewie's in his lab still?" Kenji asked.

"Jillian's feeding him." Brian said as Kenji rocketed up the stairs for Stewie's room. "So Meg, how training go?"

Meg showed him by firing five Ki Blast into Cleveland's home and the bathtub crashed into the ground. And back in Stoolbend, Cleveland twitched.

Within the lab, Kenji found Stewie being fed from Jillian. Kenji cleared his throat asking if Stewie still had the ki signatures. Jillian was excused by Stewie to head downstairs.

"If you're talking about that asshole Frost's ki, it's still here. I used the others to modify firearms and other weapons for the others to use. I had a feeling you'd want to do something special with it." Stewie said sharply.

"How accurate. Here's this Desert Eagle, imbue the ki into it when you get the time." Kenji said throwing him the Desert Eagle. "And how's your training?"

"The cybernetics you provided, I was able to build and create. However, I will need to physically age my body to be a bit old to handle the strain in full. Telekinesis was a snap through, and I even have a start on my elemental abilities." Stewie said a little excited.

"How?" Kenji said actually surprised about his start on elemental abilities.

"Simple, I paid a visit to Konoha." Stewie said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~((Cutaway Gag Alert – Relevant))~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within the Village Hidden in the Leave, Stewie is in a shop trying to buy chakra paper from a ninja store.

"What the hell do you mean, you only sell to chunin!" Stewie asked angrily to the irritated shopkeeper.

"It's pronounced chūnin, brat!" The shopkeeper said bitterly.

It was another person entered wearing a familiar yet somewhat horrid orange tracksuit. ((A/N: Real talk here, I don't hate the tracksuit, but consider there is better things he could wear if the village wasn't suck a dick to him. I had to.)) He had blonde hair, blue eyes, and whisker marks. Upon a closer look, he was beaten up and his jacket slashed.

"Hey Chaka, I need another tracksuit!" Naruto asked the shopkeeper.

"That'll be 5,000 ryo." Chaka stated.

Stewie was stunned.

"Hold on, you charge him five grand for that terrible looking jumpsuit!" Stewie yelled getting on the counter between Chaka and Naruto. "What, do you sell him fake shuriken too?"

"And what are you going to do about it?" Chaka said with a sneer.

"Gun no jutsu!" Stewie said before pulling out a simple handgun and blowing out Chaka's brains all over the counter.

Naruto couldn't believe what just happened, but then he realized he should actually get some real gear. He raided the counters of everything before the ANBU showed up, and Stewie got his chakra paper along with some extra items. Lesson out of all of this, even ninja can fall to a bullet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Cutaway Gag End)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kenji witness the cutaway and he actually had to snicker at "Gun no jutsu!". Stewie explained he used the charka paper to find he had affinity for water and fire.

"Wait, how the hell did you find that out? Don't you need chakra?" Kenji asked.

"Are we really going to question that?" Stewie said rolling his eyes.

Kenji decided to let that go and asked what else he obtained. Stewie dumped open a trove of armored clothes, kunai knives, and explosive tags.

"Maybe I should invest in making tags with ki? If I did, I'd be a hero for ki users all the galaxy. And I've made a killing!" Kenji thought before saying to Stewie, "Good work. Store the tags carefully though. I need you alive."

Kenji had left to gather his thoughts in the main bedroom. Laying back in the bed, Kenji got to his Blackthorn asking the A.I. to gather some information on Fūinjutsu. He decided to find the way. While ki was versatile to use for warpers, the warpers who used chakra bragged about how useful their style was.

"Well, time I even the odds…" Kenji thought to himself.

With Kenji having a new plan in mind, what's next for the rest of the team? And what about Molly and her dilemma? Find out next time on Within the Twilght!

A/N: This one was quite short, mostly due to the amount I put into Sekirei Blackthorned. Don't worry, the Molly chapter won't share the same fate. So look forward to it!
