One Piece: The Hunt

Toroi: Well... that didn't follow though according to plan.

.............................................

*Toto had grabbed Kizen just in time to get him out of the attacks way.*

Toto: Damnit, now do you think this was a insane idea. You could of been melted.

Kizan: but...didn't you see?! It responded! It's still in there!!

"Kizan gets himself loose and flies on his own"

Kizan: Come on, lets go again!!
Toto: NO! Enough! That thing is beyond you. I helped you because this is more than a game to me! This is the final test. I need to cross this mountain and reach Draconorium, so I'll be able to join the order I just attacked!
Kizan: Fine!! My job is to make sure that dragon doesn't die like a vermin!!

"Kizan accelerates and heads towards the dragon again, dodging fire blasts from the guards and stopping in front of the dragon. His entire fist turns to fire which then takes the shape of a fist"

Kizan: MERA MERA BURNING HAMMER FIST!!

"He swings down the gigantic hammer and again forces Edroc to stop, hammering his head down. Again he sparks the same effect, and the dragon responds with another huge stream of fire. Kizan is ready this time, and uses a Fire Fist to try and match...to no use. He's completely overwhelmed, and this time Toto does go to the rescue. The fire blast is seen from above as a huge fountain of flames, covering the entire mountain in a bath of light and heat"

----

Toshi: We should get a medic soon...just hang in there...

---

"Meanwhile, as the airship leaves, Tizen and Elen arrive, just barely missing the retreating Erum forces"

Elen: What the hell...happened here?!

Tizen: Looks like we missed a big battle.

......................................

Toto: Your going to get yourself killed if you keep this up.

.....................................

Toroi: Don't worry, I'm hangin in.

"The airship lands, and just as it does, Tizen spots the Kyotarton army, and Yata with them"

Elen: Wait...Tizen wait that's an entire army, do NOT go in crazy just because of the swords!!

Tizen: There not just swords Elen. Besides that Yata bastard could use an ass kicking.
Elen: Funny, it happened the other way around last time.
Tizen: Well not this time.

*Tizen gets ready to go after Yata.*

"Yata notices Tizen and Elen"

Yata: That idiot doesn't know when to quit huh?

Wayder: Want some help
Yata: No, just get the men back inside and do a damage check. Then get the airship ready, we were just stopping by anyway

"Yata heads towards Tizen and Elen alone"

Elen: Is he...coming here alone?

Tizen: At least he's no coward hiding behind his army. But honestly, I'm not to surprised.

*Tizen starts heading out towards Yata, meeting him roughly half way.*

Tizen: So we meet again. You took my sword, now I'm here to reclaim it.

Yata: Yeah, you're a criminal...so I can't let you get it back. Besides...you lost it, earn it back

"Yata pulls his sword out, the slightly broader one"

Yata: Come forth!!

Tizen: And you though I expected you to give it back.

*Tizen draws out both swords.*

Tizen: Lets begin!!

*Tizen dashes forward and the two swordsmen once again clash blades.*

"Again Yata doesn't need to exert any effort to block the blades using just one of his, but for some reason, he then draws his second sword and starts to easily hammer Tizen without effort, driving him back and slashing across the shoulder"

Yata: I see you refuse to back down. Fine then, I'll go at you with all of my power...but if you die here, don't hold me accountable

Tizen: Every battle has either two outcomes, you win or you lose. And I'm not one to shy away from a challenge.

*Tizen readies himself again before darting forward on the attack, the slash on the shoulder not enough to slow him down, he simply go's after Yata harder.*

"Yata easily blocks every attack, parrying each blow and despite Tizen's best efforts, remaining completely uninjured"

Yata: Oh enough of this!

"Yata brins his blade in an upward motion intend on cutting Tizen across his chest and reopen his wounds"

*Tizen wasn't getting caught so easily and avoids the slash, driving his own sword forward to pierce Yata while keeping his second for defense.*

"Yata is somewhat surprise he followed the attack, but blocks the incoming stab none the less and responds in the same manner, with Tizen again blocking and responding leading to the same situation"

Yata: you've gotten good...Two Step Finish: Endsong!

"Yata puts away one of his swords and again follows with the same movement as before against Toroi"

*Tizen reacts quickly using the Two sword style Flash Strike. Somehow catching Yata's strike with the defense sword he launches the strike without a moments waste, looking to slash Yata across his chest.*

"Yata is completely shocked by the fact Tizen blocked the attack, so he barely moves back in time to dodge and gets slightly slashed. As he puts his hand to his chest, he sneers and draws his second sword again"

Yata: Well...you aren't completely useless as a two style fighter...but you're still weak. I can see it. Your style is forced and untrained. You don't have the feel for this type of swords play. Find your own before challenging someone who's mastered his
Tizen: Prove it

Yata: As you wish

"And with that, Yata goes forth again. Tizen starts to easily block again, but suddenly, Yata's movements become a blur to him, his two swords working as extensions of himself. Before he knows it, his chest and left shoulder are slashed as well, his left arm is cut so he drops that sword and he finally gets stabbed through the gut"

Yata: One Step Finish: Warsong

"Yata then moves as a blur again, pulling out the sword he had stabbed, and slashing jumping up, slashes Tizen from his shoulder across his back, before landing behind him. Tizen is covered in blood but doesn't fall"

Yata: This is over

"Yata goes for another slash when he's suddenly interrupted by a gunshot he's forced to dodge. Elen has a sniper aimed right at Yata's head"

Elen: Alright...we get it. Now get out of here...that was just the warning shot
Yata: You think you can hi

"Elen fires two more shots, and Yata only has time to dodge one, the other actually aimed at the point he moved to. He ends up shot in the right leg"

Elen: Yes...I can

Yata: You're a good shot...and that gun. You actually modified it just now to use air pressure instead of gunpowder...

"Yata grins and puts both his swords away"

Yata: Get him out of here...

Tizen: This isn't over. I'm going to retrieve.. what's mine.

*Tizen shows a great deal of focus as his eyes remain locked on Yata despite his condition. His determination to win is much higher then before, to the point he'll fight Yata no matter how strong or skilled he was.*

Elen: NO! Just...stop it you idiot!

"Elen runs up to him and grabs him"

Elen: You're going to get yourself killed! Just step down already!! Please. I've had enough of you guys getting hurt in front of me already!

*Tizen looks at Elen for a second, and steps back.*

Tizen: We'll meet again Yata, be sure on that.

*Elen takes Tizen and starts heading back to the ship. They board the ship and takes off. Along route Tizen remembers Yata's words about finding his own fighting style. We later see them arrive back at Neo's, by now Tizen had lost enough blood to pass out. Elen and Neo get Tizen inside.

.....................................

*Tizen wasn't the only one in thought. Toroi had been going over his defeats in his mind, contemplating and errors he might of made, or how his opponents won. He to however, blacks out as well from his injuries.*

Toshi: We got our asses handed to us...
Konoro: Don't beat yourself. That guy was a commander, so I'm sure his strength isn't normal
Toshi: Still...What did I do wrong...I've been using this style but I'm just copying it...am I missing something...if so what?

"Kizan is seen breathing, being carrying by something. It turns out it's a black dragon, a tad larger than a human, with huge black wings and cat like slit pupil eyes"

Kizan: Ouch...
Dragon: Awake huh?
Kizan: Toto?
Toto: Yeah it's me. I'm flying around trying to find a good place to rest for the night. I can't leave the mountain without crossing it on foot...or I would

"Toto ends up landing in a nearby cave, turning back into a human. Kizan is completely burned everywhere"

Toto: Well...happy now?
Kizan: No...what did I do wrong
Toto: You aren't strong...trust me this was just scratching the surface of what the world can do. And you said you wanted to sail the Grand Line? You really expect to make it with this level...learn to not bite off more than you can chew, train until you can actually improve...and maybe you'll stand a chance. Otherwise...you'll die. You and everyone under your care

"Kizan doesn't say another word, falling silent at the harsh truth"

"Kizan suddenly clenches his fist, determination seen in his eyes, but there is no goofy look plastered onto his face."

Kizan: I ignored Master's warning..that I was a spec, I thought I could win! But I was wrong..at least for now, he promised me to train me if I helped you. So I'm going to get training, I need to be powerful enough to protect my Nakama, I have to have the power to protect them!I want to have power to defeat Edroc, power to bring my crew together! I want to do it now! I want to save them! I'll take down everyone in my way, and I'll keep training, and keep getting stronger, till one day I'll be a fearsome power in the Grandline!

"With Kizan's speech, the screen goes black"

"A week has passed"

"Elen is seen outside messing around with the gun she took. It seems now to be heavily modified"

---

"Meanwhile Toshi is seen training alone, but is soon joined by Konoro"

Konoro: Training?
Toshi: Yeah...I've been meaning to ask...what is those powers you use?
Konoro: Well, they're called Rokushiki. A set of 6 abilities that give one superhuman powers. I'm still a novice with then

(Hey, I'm not in my computer so I can't access the IRC)

*Tizen is seen by himself training as well, focusing on improving his technique, improving his movements.*

......................................

*Toroi seems to be training as well, but more mildly then the others. He still thinking about his matches and what he could of done differently. He also considers his fire form, and being able to make it more easily accessible.*

"Neo comes up to Tizen"

Neo: You shouldn't be exerting yourself. After all, it's normal if you lost to someone like Yata.

(Controlling Neo for this scene alright Justin?)

---

Toshi: We should ask where we go next
Konoro: They say that the Armed Forces have been called to the capital
Toshi: Really? Well this should be a good. The suppose Tower of Light

(Sure.)

Tizen: Yata, is motivation. To be the best, I have to beat the best. And if Yata is a master, then that's what I have to become.
