Iris finally got her dad to talk with her after so long. She knew he was a busy man, but this was important! "Iris, why do you even care? He trains just about everyday. And he always has to do extra labor because of your antics."
Aran rolled his eyes at his daughters tantrum before him. " But dad! A pebble caused a crack in the ground."
"Leave it alone Iris!" Aran shouted behind his back as he walked off. Iris grumbled as she began kicking some rocks around.
After calming down ,Iris walked past Sora's tent and saw him in his oringial purple gi-like outfit. He seemed to be going somewhere.
"W-where are you going?" She barged in to ask Sora.
"I have to leave for a bit, but I might come back." Iris became frightened. If her only true friend was about to leave she would be alone again.
"Please stay! I'm sorry for freaking out about your strength!" Iris began shooting off appolgies one after the other. "Just please don't leave!"
"Iris, Iris! Calm down this has nothing to do with you. I promise. This is just something I have to do." Sora said reassuringly as he clasped Iris' shoulders. "Do you want your claw necklace back?" Iris shook her head telling him that it is his and smiled at him.
"It's been almost three years and it feels like we have known each other forever" Iris hugged Sora tightly. "Please come back soon..."
Zephyr was searching for Sora's energy for almost three years now. The demon had gotten better at moving around this prison. Half his power is sealed away here, God ki is almost imposdible to build up in this forged universe. It took three years to build up enough to able to scan the whole land, and he was already almost out. 'Damn...'
Zephyr had years of demonic ki saved up after centuries of God ki at easy disposal. His demonic energy began forging it's own surface. Three years turned a cave in the side of a moutain into what some would mistake as tge enterance of the first circle of Hell. Bones that have evil oozing from them, layered the floor and walls. Zephyr drug his tail along the wall sketching a map of where the half-breed ki as been, and the direction it was moving. 'North...East...North...West?' Zephyr was not sure why the directions varied so dramaticly like this but he was sure that is was Demi-God ki.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!"
About two days had passed since Sora had left the Jord-An Tribe . He missed Iris and the others terribly, but the danger he was about to cause was bigger than the Tribe alone. Growls came from some bushes as Sora got into a fighting stance. He could "see" an attack coming but is was just enough to evade it. Right before his eyes was a something that looked like a bat. Or a Hyena? A bat-hyena? It had this evil aura and corrupted appearance. 'It that two heads?!' Sora built up some energy and sent a kai wave pushing the creature back. The creature didn't move but sent a wave of air back that followed by a claw.
Each roar sent a beam like blast from this demonic hybrid. Sora barely managed to dodge each one. The creature's eyes went from a white rage to pure red. The bat wings grew larger and the hyena's legs had bones shooting out of the joints. "It's...transforming?!" Sora jumped out of it's claw way too close of it hitting him. The claws dug deep into the dirt, exploding a crater from a dark purple sphere of energy. "Wh-what's going on?!" Sora knew little to nothing about ki, he learned to 'push' his soul out as a enhancement or an attack. This Bat-hyena...thing was shooting light rays and causing explosions everywhere!
Sora focused his energy and lunged forward to the Bat-ena. Right as he was about to punch it, he sent a Kiai threw his fist. Sora's kiai-intensified jab, even further powered by his demi-god strength, landed in the Bat-ena's face and caused the creature to slide back a few meters. The demi-god smirked. He had finally found a way to fight this thing. He threw a Stone Bullet one after another distracting the Bat-ena. 'Roar, claw, explosion...' "Jab!" The Bat-ena shook it's head to get rid of the daze. "Jab!" Sora appeared out of no where using a Kai Jab again. He kept his combo of Kiai Jabs at a steady flow. At last minute Sora slashed downward with his staff. As soon as it hit the Corrupted Creature, the staff glowed hitting the creature harder then Sora could on his own.
But he's not on his own.
Iris was sulking, pouting, and angry all at the same time. "You just HAD to prod didn't you!" She huffed as she laid back. The skinny boy who would send jabs at Sora for being an outsider popped up. This time he had more defing muscles and he 'supposedly' got stronger too. Iris didn't care enough to pay attention really. "You're still out here?" Iris just glanced at Eret.
"Well the Chief needs you. Now, according to his yelling." Iris sighed and got up. She had to please her father. Or she'll get stuck with chores Sora did for her.
'Damn he did alot of chores'
Iris and Eret made it back to the Tribe's hall. The young tribesmen were forced to stay in. The strongest warriors were preparing for battle. "What's going on?" Iris was confused at the state of the tribe. "Get in the hall." She shook her head. "What's going on?!"
"Iris, now is not the time!"
"Well when is? You and the others are putting on Armor! Something isn't right, and I wanna know!"
Aran sighed. "There are Corrupted animals and monsters headed towards us." Iris tensed. She was ready to fight and she had the experience of fighting some other worldly creatures. But was she ready for the Corruption that killed her mother?
Aran looked at Iris. "No you stay here. You're not allowed to fight." Iris was about to throw a fit but an evil aura filled the air. What looked to be once monkeys were now some corrupted create with red eyes, bone guantlets on, and a dark aura oozing from them.
Savagery is all this was. The Jord-An Tribe has strong ties to Apes. Orin Jord-An was told to have had a monkey tail and a God form that resembled a monkey. He had defeated many evils and created many safe havens. The Jord-An Tribe follows a great many of his ways of life. The fight was as primal as it gets. The Four Elites and Chief Aran's hair turn gold as did their auras. Their strength increase and their speed rose. The other warriors sent shockwaves as the Five Sages started wiping out waves at a time.
Aran was going one-on-one with a corrupted gorilla. Aran held his hands close together building energy inbetween them. The gorilla charged at Aran with a leap into the air. Aran released his attack as the gorilla was in mid air. The energy sphere shot out like a cannon ball right into the Gorilla's chest. Aran jumped back a few meters to repostion himself for the upper hand. The gorilla swung it's corrupted bone gauntlet and an energy wave like a fist flew towards Aran. He jumped as fast as he could out of the way and sprinted in. Footsteps couldn't be heard but what sounded like paws padding the dirt. Aran had spirit running threw his fingers and started clawing and palm striking the Gorilla. "Fury Palm: Wolf Pack!"
