The next few weeks was a trial of patience for me. From going to school, dealing with homework as well as Logun training me into the ground. To be fair the rest of the X-teens were going through all of that as well, but unlike then I demanded more training from Logun. It goes without saying; I was getting my ass kicked over and over. Wolverine decided that I needed to strengthen my body before he got anywhere near an actual martial art. In the time that I had been here there had only been the events of two episodes of the show take place. The first was Rogue reliving Mystique's memories as dreams merely told Mystique that Magneto would find out and have Pietro disrupt their meeting. As such Mystique had Kurt port them somewhere else to talk. Kurt came back with a higher sense of determination and desire to get stronger to confront his father. The second was Sabertooth trying to break in due to Evan's camera report. I just told Charles and side stepped the whole thing. It left me feeling like shit that Wolverine still wouldn't train me in any actual martial arts though. On the upside I had gained a great deal of training in my endurance.

Thankfully I had my own past training in a few different martial arts to fall back on. Unfortunately, these were the most basic of basics. Stances and a few blocks and strikes. So, I did the only thing I could think of. I spent ten minutes each day throwing punches with twenty-pound weights in my hands. I spent another ten minutes doing kicks. Without a teacher to give me actual instruction I would only develop bad habits, and that could be just as bad as not knowing at all. Not that ended up helping me in what was to come.

I got out of the last class of the day feeling tired and annoyed. I hadn't enjoyed High School when I was a teen the first time and it wasn't looking like I was going to enjoy it anymore this time around. Luckily it was a Friday and that meant that I'd be able to get out of the stress for a while. I was happily listening to music on my phone from my home. I was beyond glad to have it considering that it was 2006 here. I'd have really missed the last twenty years of music otherwise. It took me about half an hour to get from the school to the mansion. In that time, I focused so much on the music that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. Which is my only justification for why I didn't realize that there was a screaming teen flying towards me. I was caught completely off guard by the flying tackle that hit me like a truck. My body was sent rolling off to my right. I felt like I'd been kicked by a draft horse. And considering that I had in fact been kicked by a shire horse I can confirm that I'm not exaggerating.

I heard someone talking standing over me. Not that whoever it was talking was doing themselves any favors. I was working too hard on trying to breath to be able to hear their words. I could feel my eyes watering and my nose was running. It was through blurry eyes that I looked up to see the person that hit me. I could barely make out ripped jeans and a brown shirt. When I could finally hear the words coming out of his mouth, I realized that the bastard was trash talking me.

"So like I said." He said scowling weakly at me. "I ain't getting left behind. Now get up so I can prove my worth yo."

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I roared angrily. "Motherfucker the only reason you hit me was because you blind-sided me!"

This caused him to pause and look at me thoughtfully. "You think so huh?" The boy asked negligently running a hand through his greasy hair. "Cause from where I'm standing, you're kinda pathetic."

I felt my anger spike at this. And I admit it went to my head. I leapt up and jumped towards him with a straight right punch. Not that it amounted to much. The boy crouched down like a frog then leaped to the side and grabbed a tree limb. I glared at him as he hung from the tree limb with one hand while his legs pressed into the trunk of the tree. That was when I realized who this was. Todd Tolansky a.k.a. Toad member of the brotherhood of mutants.

"You're just so slow man." He said almost like he felt sorry for me. I could feel my anger rising until it was abruptly shut off by a flying kick to the chest. I'd barely registered that he had moved. I could only just barely make out the leap from the tree, and the arial front flip, before I felt both of his feet plant themselves in my chest. Then I was sent flying backwards only to slam into one of the oak trees on the mansions grounds. The precious air that had only just returned to my lungs was forcibly expelled once again, along with a bout of dizziness from my head slamming into the tree's trunk.

"Ya know I feel like I shoulda fought you and just not even tried ta fight red." Toad said conversationally. "Maybe before you try to fight again you oughta learn how."

Those were the last words he said before a metal sphere dropped from the sky. As I watched him climb into Magneto's retrieval device my mind latched onto what he had said. He was right. I hadn't been able to fight off the Toad. He wasn't even a STREET level threat without a weapon of some kind. What hope did I have against people who were actually dangerous. Wolverine had done a great job raising my endurance, but I had no ability to fight against the monsters in this world, or any other for that matter. Maybe if I had woken up in dragon ball on Roshi's island, or maybe in the village hidden in the leaves. 'Hell' I thought to myself as blackness began to take over my vision. 'Even if I had managed to go to Ryouzanpaku.'

Akisame Koetsugi was a man of philosophy. He'd spent his whole life studying the martial arts, as well as every other discipline he could get his hands on from science to art. So, when a small blonde teenager appeared in a beaten heap in front of him; he was intrigued by the randomness of it.

"Well, this is certainly a new experience." He mumbled to himself. He gazed intently at the young man in front of him. He casually began to give the boy a medical before narrowing his eyes and sending out a burst of KI while lifting the boy up. He quickly made his way towards the living quarters of Ryouzanpaku. By the time he arrived he was flanked by Kensei Ma as well as Hayato Furinji. Kensei was a fellow doctor, while Hayato was the overall master of the Dojo.

"Kensei this boy appeared on the grounds in front of me." Akisame began without preamble. "He has fractured ribs and possibly ruptured organs get your medical supplies." With that said he placed the boy on an unused futon and began to strip him of his shirt. He then began to get bandages as Kensei rushed from the room to retrieve his own supplies. Hayato looked on while stroking his long yellow beard thoughtfully. Kensei returned with his supplies and Hayato's granddaughter Miu followed worriedly.

"Miu it would be best if you go and get ready for dinner." Hayato said soothingly. "I'm sure this young one will be up and about soon."

"But Grampa Akisame said that he was really bad." Miu said worriedly. "Will he be...?"

"I promise I will let you know as soon as Akisame and Kensei are done." Hayato said gently placing a hand on his granddaughter's shoulder. While this was taking place Kensei and Akisame were busy bandaging the young man's chest tightly. It took them only a scant few minutes to have the boy bandaged up.

"He needs to rest now." Akisame said with a relieved sigh. Kensei nodded resolutely. "He will be awake within a day at most."

"Then should I have Miu prepare an extra meal for our young guest?" Hayato asked, stroking his beard again.

"Hm." Akisame sounded thoughtfully. "Perhaps it would be a good idea, only soup and perhaps fish. Nothing heavy."

"I shall inform her now." Hayato said with a playful grin. "For now, however I believe it is Kensei's turn to train our new disciple."

The gleeful light that blossomed in Kensei's eyes was enough to bring darkly amused smirks to Akisame and Hayato's faces. Oh, how good it was to have a disciple again.

P.O.V. return to first person

I came to with a wheezing breath. My chest ached and my head was ringing. I looked around to find myself in a small room with a wooden floor and paneled walls. Once again, I have found myself lost in my new life.

"Just great." I muttered to myself. "First, I get my ass kicked by the Toad of all people. Then to add insult to injury I'm lost again!"

Raising to a sitting position hurt like hell, I'm secure enough to admit it. Once I got to a sitting position, I was left breathing hard. I couldn't really think I could see spots of color exploding in my vision. It took all my willpower to stay seated instead of slumping back to the futon.

"Hey now." Came a playfully reproving voice. "If you continue like that, you'll just hurt yourself all over again."

My eyes cut towards the man standing in the door. He was wearing dark blue hakama pants with a white Gi top. He was casually leaning in the door frame looking at me with a hooded but amused look.

"Yeah, I can tell I'm beat up." I growled through gritted teeth. "You the one that patched me up then?"

"One of two." He admitted easily.

"Thanks." I ground out roughly, but sincerely. "Got my ass handed to me."

"So I saw." He acknowledged gently. "Were you attacked by a master then?"

"A master?" I asked slightly confused. "You mean like a master of a martial art? No Toad probably doesn't even know them. He's a mutant."

"A mutant you say?" The man asked intrigued. "What do you mean by that?"

"A mutant." I said, looking at him perplexed. "You know, a human with an active X-gene?"

"You say that like it is common knowledge." he said thoughtfully. "Is this common wherever you are from."

That made me pause. "Where am I now?" I asked confused.

"This is Ryouzanpaku." The man said calmly. "Home of many masters."

That statement made my eyes widen and me draw a sharp breath in. The latter turned out to be a mistake, because my ribs flared in pain.

"Easy I'm a highly skilled doctor, but I can't do magic." The guy said gently. Yeah, I thought wryly to myself, it's not like I have any healing magic... wait, I could totally do that. There is healing magic all throughout the multiverse. But it pretty much all depends on training. Elder Scrolls, terraria, dragon age. I mean potions are everywhere, but actual magic that I could use? Magic that anyone could use?

"The horse talisman." I murmured to myself. I could remember that they had been thrown to Shendu and disappeared into the demon realm. Hm better to just steal them for myself. I focused on the various talismans. As the J-team threw them towards the demon lord. I focused on each of the twelve and caught them in the air. When I opened my eyes and then my hands, I saw the man's eyes widen then narrow in focus. I looked through them placing all twelve on a blanket in front of me before squeezing the horse talisman in my fist. I was kind of surprised when nothing happened. That made no sense though. It was the healing talisman. Why wasn't it working? I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I failed to notice other people joining the man at the door. It clicked for me though. When Jackie was poisoned and being turned to stone, Jade sneezed on the Talisman activating the powers. With that in mind I squeezed the Talisman and forced myself to cough on it. Then the world disappeared in a blinding flash of light.

My mind was drawn back to the present by two cries of surprise. I looked up past the clearing light to see five people. One monstrously tall man blond man, easily eight feet tall in a large green robe. Another was small, barely five and a half feet tall, wearing a green and blue kung fu outfit. Then there was the Doctor who was already there. Finally, there was a pair of teens, a boy in a white karate gi and a girl in a purple leotard. That was when the Docter's words hit me. 'Ryouzanpaku' he had said. Holy shit! I'm in History's strongest disciple Kenichi!

"Young man we have a few questions for you." stated the blond giant. I looked up at the man who had to be Hayato Furinji, the Invinsible Superman.

"Yeah ok." I said with a look of awe of both the man in front of me as well as the fact that I was now fully healed from an injury that should take months to recover from. "Lay it on me gramps."

Hayato burst out laughing. "My but you are an irreverent one." He said jovially. "Tell me young man, how did you come to be here?"

I shrugged my shoulders and felt my ears twitch. I opened my mouth to speak then was interrupted by a high pitched, excited squeal. Then I was glomped. I had to blink away at the confusion. It was easy to guess that the blonde girl hugging my face to her breasts as she pets my hair and ears was Miu Furinji. I tried valiently to process this but just couldn't think of what I was supposed to say. So, I finally went with. "Please get off of me."

Miu leapt away as if I'd burned her. I could make out three distinct male laughs, and the sound of who I assumed to be Kenichi gritting his teeth in jealousy. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry!" Miu said quickly. "Your ears just reminded me of a cat, and I really like cats."

"That's fine." I said looking at her slightly uncomfortably. "But please keep in mind that I'm, mostly, human."

"Would that be why you have feline ears and a tail?" Akisame asked thoughtfully. "Does this have something to do with the X-Gene you were talking about?"

"No I'm something else." I admitted softly looking at my hand thoughtfully. Honestly besdes being a catboy I didn't really know what Schrodinger was. I know that the crazy doctor created hi somehow, but not how. "I used to be a regular guy." I started thinking back on my life. "But something happened. Something caused the death of my entire world. But between that happening and it being rewritten, I was reincarnated in this body. The being that destroyed then revived my world wrote me a letter of apology and gave me a magic weapon to try to make it up to me. But I can't control this body's power. It was artificially given Omnipresence. I am able to be literally EVERYWHERE and NOWHERE at once. By my mind is human. I am incapable of processing it. I accidentally glimpsed ALL of the multiverse and gave myself an aneurism. When that happened, I reactively took myself to the school of a man who teaches mutants to control their powers. I was there for about a month, in that time I learned how to pull whatever I wanted from other universes. I still can't control my ability to teleport though. Anyway, I was on my way to the mansion from the local high school, something that Charles insisted on, when I was blindsided by one of the mutants who believed that mutants should rule over humans. I have a pretty good idea what caused the attack, but it doesn't really matter. I thought I could take him, but in the end it didn't matter. Todd Tolanski kicked me fifty feet into an oak tree and left as he thought I was either incapacitated or dying. As I passed out, he made a passing comment. 'Before you try to fight maybe you should learn how.' It made me think of a couple different places to get training. Roshi's island, the village hidden in the leaves," I paused to look at Hayato. "Ryouzanpaku. Then I blacked out and woke up here."

"You already knew of this dojo?" The elder asked, stroking his magnificent beard.

I nodded then added. "Everything in the Multiverse is entertainment for somewhere else." That caused them all to look at me stunned. Then I turned to look at the teenaged boy. It was unmistakable who he was. Even though he looked very little like his anime character. He looked very ordinary. Almost stereotypically Japanese except for two things. One was that instead of black, his hair was a warm chocolate brown. The other that instead of dark eyes, his were purple that seemed to shine with an inner light. He was honestly kinda cute. In a dorky kid brother kinda way. But training in Ryouzanpaku would take care of that. He'd be a sculpted muscley hunk one of these days. He was also oblivious to why I looked at him, but the other people in the room weren't. I turned back to Hayato and asked. "Would you all be opposed to adding another disciple for the foreseeable future?"

Hayato looked at me thoughtfully, while Miu tried to calm down Kenichi who was having a panic attack at the thought of my future immanent death. "Tell me something young one." Hayato spoke softly, but even so all sound and motion stopped. I looked at the strongest man on this planet with all the respect and fear he deserved. "Why do you want to learn the Martial Arts?"

I opened my mouth to speak, but then paused. Honestly there was no reason for me to learn here instead of somewhere else. There was a plethora of amazing teachers throughout the multiverse. But these masters, these six teachers were the best humans in the multiverse to teach me. They took, or will take, Kenichi, a boy with no talent for the martial arts and made him a true warrior. Not to mention there was a lot here to hone my possible skill against. "I want to be strong enough to go to any plane I want. Strong enough that I don't have to kill everyone who decides they want a piece of me. There are many martial artists and warriors I could learn from, but they are all more likely to train me only to kill. But you are all able to train me to be strong enough that I don't have to kill people just to beat them."

Hayato merely continued to look at me stroking his beard impassively. "And you want us to train you to become strong then?"

"Well like I said there are lots of trainers across the multiverse, but in the story, I saw Ryouzanpaku in," I began being careful not to mention the name of the easily riled up Kenichi. "It was apparent that you could teach people to be the best they could, in a small amount of time. Don't get me wrong." I amended it quickly. "With the Dog talisman I guess I'm technically immortal, so time isn't a concern. But I want to travel all across the multiverse. And it is full of people fighting. I mean I could go to a low-level world and train to get stronger, but I don't want to be a weakling who has to kill everyone to learn to fight properly."

Everyone in the room was looking at me with a different level of intensity. Hayato, Kensei, and Akisame all had expressions of stone. Miu looked like she was still fighting off the urge to pet me. And Kenichi looked like he was torn between thinking of me as a god and wanting to kill me over earlier with Miu.

"So if we were to train you what would you do then?" Akisame asked, looking at me thoughtfully.

"Well, I want to find a way to get back to the world I was on before this." I said with a wry grin. "If I can I want to be able to fight all the villains there, and then I'll just bounce around and find adventure. There are literally billions of worlds out there. I want to hang out with Rimuru Tempest, I want to fight against Ranma Saotome. I want to annoy the literal fuck out of Batman."

Hayato grinned conspiratorially at me. "And possibly manage to get a girlfriend in some far-off world?"

"Well I wouldn't say no." I said studiously avoiding the old man's glittering eyes.

"We will allow you to train." Hayato said with a grin. "And if you are aware of our training then you don't have to worry about a warning. But about the tuition?"

I snorted at that last statement, clearly remembering the scene where Kensei was trying to get money from Kenichi. I grinned before looking through my memorys for a treasure that gets lost. Then my grin widened as I thought of the perfect treasure. I reached out my hands and grabbed a double handful of space pirate treasure when I opened my eye and let the gold and jewels tumble from my hands.

"How's this?" I asked cheekily grinning like a maniac. Only stunned silence followed.
