Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryan, who was training in the forest outside the academy, continued to think about the defeat he suffered from Rouge. Doing combos on a tree continuosly thinking about getting stronger. He punched the tree one more time putting a crack in it. The old man appeared again in behind Ryan. "Is there something wrong sunny?" The old man said as he stood looking at the jacket that Ryan was wearing. It had a huge blood stain on it, he had totally forgot. "No there's nothing wrong. I'm just training." Ryan didn't turn to the old man. He kept his eyes forward. The old man turned around and looked at the river flowing straight through the forest. "How about I help you with your training. I can teach you a few new things" Ryan jurked around and looked at the old man,"Really like what! Come on teach me!" The old man smiled and looked at Ryan,"Well then....We better get started." Ryan bowed to the old man as he came and touched Ryan on the head sending them back into his conciousness like before. Ryan looked around at the empty white area. "So where do we start?" The old man looked at Ryan,"Well we're going to see if you can control the Ki sense." Ryan noded,"I've got the jist of it...It's just a little harder to control than i thought it would be. I cant really use it whenever." The old man smiled,"It's actually quite simple. First you have to focus." Ryan closed his eyes,"....what am I supposed to focus on?" "Focus on the Ki around you." The old man said as he looked around. "Try and feel everything using Ki." Ryan continued to focus, he felt small amounts of Ki here and there but nothing big enough or close enough to track. "I since a few things here and there.....nothing to noticable though...." He continued to focus until his Ki became a sort of radar. It happened out of no where. "Wait I feel it. Everything. It's like seeing with my eyes closed." The old man grinned,"Exactly, that's what the Ki sense does. It let's you since the Ki energy around you. Now one will be able to hide from you. Unless they lower their Ki level." Ryan looked confused,"Lower their Ki level? You can do that?" The old man smiled," Yes actually. It's a way of hiding from people using Ki energy to track. It's very helpful. Would you like to try it?" Ryan noded,"Wait I think I can do this without your help." Ryan closed his eyes again and focused. He focused on being unoticed and hidin. He focused on not existing to the enemy, to be unseen. His power level dropped to that of a regular human. The old look shocked that he was able to do that without instructions. "Very good Ryan. And even more impressive without instruction." Ryan noded and gave a smile,"Yea. It was because I saw that move similar to one of the rules of being a ninja. Stay hidden. I just focused on hiding and being invisible." The old man smiled and patted Ryan's head,"Well aren't you a smart cookie. Now I'll teach you one more thing. I'm going to teach you how to make an energy shield. It's a barrier made of your Ki energy. Now I find that this move is similar to the Earth chakra you ninja's know about. Try to block my Ki wave. Focus on defending, being unmoving, and keeping your stance. You can't have fear you have to face it head on like a mountain to the wind." Ryan noded and looked at the old man who was a yard away with his hand pointed at him. "Ready?" Ryan noded and the old man shot a blue Ki wave at Ryan. Ryan saw the wave coming at him. He at first looked unmoving but then jumped out the way. "Dang. Sorry." The old man noded,"There's no issue. Just keep trying." Ryan noded and got back up. He tryed again and again but was unable to do it. He got up one last time and put his arms in the form of an "X". The old man shot one more Ki wave and Ryan at the last second made a Ki barrier. "Wha! I did it. You see me old man?" The old man noded. "That was good Ryan. Now you can defend against the attacks that come to you." Ryan bowed and woke up again in the forest. He looked around and saw that no one was there. Ryan stood up and walked away heading to the academy.

Trudging along through the lowly areas of this West City Academy area, Neo casually flicked a hand forwards and sent it sailing right into a tree. With a rather wavy spectacle as the pink fleshy substance that made up his body wavered and shook all the way up his arm, the flesh of his hand going from pink to red due to the impact. A wicked grin grew across his face as he slammed his first time and time again into the tree, before the entire fist had grown beat red and expanded to show the lines of the back on the tree. With a short yell of "Ouch~!" He yanked his hand away from the tree and began shaking it, soon the pink flesh would rattle and return to it's original formation without much of an issue, the throbbing red appearance going away as well in the process. "Damn trees. They hurt!" Neo screamed before snatching a twig from the ground and flinging it as hard as he could towards the tree. The twig shattering on contact, breaking into two pieces and falling to the ground before the tree. Feeling successful in conquering this giant vegetable, Neo Majin turns on his heel, his entire body wobbling slightly, before he takes off into a run and seemingly clumsily crashes through crowds of people, almost any crowd he could see. Yelling out randomly at those he ran into, telling them to stop crashing into him, and to mind the crowds better. Soon he would find himself turning around a corner, his arm snatching onto a post as it stretches out slightly and then snaps back into place, sending him flying almost like a rubber band off into the distance. His entire mass sailing through the air until he crashes into the meditating body of a lone shinobi. The full impact feeling as if a boulder had just fallen on top of the boy, but at the same time, the Majin would bounce backwards and away from them almost like a kick ball in appearance. Spinning curled up in the air, Neo thrusts his arms outwards and then his legs, before landing upon the ground. Sticking the landing rather well at that, as he begins to applaud for himself and bow towards the most likely startled shinobi. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Please, no flowers, I'm deathly allergic! . . . Just kidding." He says, before falling right onto his back and laughing at his own jokes and stupidity, his gaze staring casually upwards at the sky above him now, it seemed he had completely forgotten about crashing into the male already, which was certainly something odd to believe, considering the circumstances.

Ryan is hit by the flying majin and slams into the ground dizzy. He slowly becomes focused and sees the histerical majin laughing on the ground as if nothing happened. Ryan got agitated and walked over standing over the majin. "Hey what's your deal! You just ran into me you jerk!"

Chikiritīō Bāfurō



Chikiritīō strolled back into the academy with a smirk. 'Let's see what I can learn myself,' he thought. 'It may be tough, but I should be able to manage.' He looked around and saw that just as many people as before were inside. 'Maybe I should take this outside,' he thought. 'There will be more room there.' He then went past the crowd of people and left out the back doors. Chikiritīō saw that the area was, to his surprise, empty. 'Guess they prefer indoors,' he thought. He then walked to the middle of the area and breathed. 'I'll try to master the transformation technique,' he thought. 'Let's see if I can become a we-." He then cut off when a shuriken came his way. Chikiritīō quickly jumped back and scanned the area for the thrower. He then saw a hooded figure in the distance. Suddenly, he disappeared, reappearing in front of Chikiritīō. "What the?" he thought. The man then took out a chokutō and dashed toward Chikiritīō. He quickly fired up his ki and dodged the attack. The man let loose a flurry of sword slashes, which were hard to dodge. Chikiritīō then went on the counter attack when he ducked to dodge the blade. He then aimed his sharp beak toward the man's chest. However, he quickly jumped back. Chikiritīō then went on the attack, not being able to hit him with the beak. He then jumped back and flew into the air. "Let's see how you do with aerial combat," he said. The man, however, stayed on the ground and raised his hand in the air. Suddenly, a blue orb formed in his hand. He then aimed it toward Chikiritīō and a powerful wave of ki came his way. Chikiritīō quickly used the teleportation technique to get out the way, moving behind Chikiritīō. He then saw that the man was gone. Suddenly, he was knocked down by something. He crashed into the ground hard and struggled to stand back up. Chikiritīō then saw the man had hit him with an energy wave, as his hand was steaming. "You seem to be pretty fond of that technique," he said. He then focused his ki into his wing. 'Sure hope this works,' he thought. Chikiritīō then raised his wing toward the man. "Let's see how you like it," he said, firing a ki blast toward the man. However, he effortlessly deflected the attack. A smirk then came onto the man as he suddenly vanished. Chikiritīō scratched his head. "What was that all about," he said. He then went back to training, focusing on his new techniques.

In the far distance contained dark forest trees with an enormous mountain to make the image look even more beautiful. One who stood atop of the enormous mountain could more than likely see what was going on down at the island Jeremy, Calypso, Aynos and Kai were as well as what was behind it. The West City Academy was right behind that island and the teams were planning on staying till night, where they would move out and more than likely reach the island in less than twenty-four hours. And it seemed like nothing was going to stand in their way.

Well that was depending on the mood of the pirates that was swarming the land that would reveal West City Academy after the team’s trip. The majority of the pirates on that island showed no mercy to the ships and boats that were passing near their domain to reach a destination. The majority of those boats and ships never make it to their destination either. Consequences such as death, robbery, forcing one to be a servant for the entire ship crew, or imprisonment and selling to the highest bidder were popular with the pirates if one were to be caught. And that was not even discussing the punishment for those who ran into the pirates who did not have a passion for simple material goods on the ship, or the boat. Nor did they seek a servant or maid to do their dirty work for them. Selling innocents across sea or in different towns in order to get some extra cash to improve their ship, weapons, or armor, didn’t even make it as their top priority. Human meat was all that a few cared about.

One way to fully describe a few of the cannibal pirates was unpredictable. The ones that traveled in other cannibal groups in order to hunt usually ended up turning their backs against one another when he or she became greedy and wanted the spoils all to him or herself. This was usually why they were a small bunch of cannibal pirates. There was a small bunch however that still managed to keep a hold of their sanity. They cooperate with the groups of pirates who weren’t cannibals and when it came time to separate the rewards, he or she usually went for the meat. However the Spectre was one of those ships that managed to not walk into any trouble due to its appearance. The last thing the pirates needed was to raid a ship that had ghosts in it that had abilities that could easily tear the pirates apart or worse.“And what is this place called again?” Reiko asked.

“Paradiso. That’s what others call it. I just call it another checkpoint. When you’re out in the waters as long as me any piece of land is just another checkpoint.”

“How long are we going to be here?” Kai asked.

“We’ll leave at dark. I got to go get some supplies for the ship and it doesn’t hurt to catch a break.”

“That’s fine.”

Kai looked to Aynos, wondering if this would be okay. They could easily reach the Academy if they got some food and continued on their way. Aynos gave Kai a quick nod before he turned back around to see Paradiso.

“Yes, a break won’t hurt.”

If one had to explain the experience to Paradiso to those who have not gotten the chance to do so, one word to explain Paradiso to others was paradise. The majority of the entire island was covered in sand that was white as diamonds. The temperature of the sand was so cool to ones feet that even during hot days around one hundred degrees, people were still able to walk on the sand without any sort of pain. There were a few rumors about the sand such as how it was infused with chemicals; one that was popular for a while was that the island centuries ago was desolated but an angelic figure dropped down and blessed the land. Paradiso was born as a result. What were also marvelous about Paradiso were the shacks and houses. The ones that were on the land had amazing interior and exterior decorations but what really made the island shine had to be the houses and shacks that were near the water. The positioning of the houses and shacks near the water looked very pleasing to the eye. Paradiso’s last features that made this island close to being paradise on the planet were the trees and the crystal clear water. One would think that the water around Paradiso had to be maintained constantly; the truth was that Paradiso was just in the right spot at the right time. It never got dirty which meant noone was afraid to swim in the water and during late hours, the water seemed to give off a soothing glow when the full moon hit the surface. Fruits of all kinds were always being grown from the dozens of trees around Paradiso and being sold at cheap prices to people who lived there and at a decent price when it came to exporting. With delicious fruit made from the purified soil, houses and shacks filled with people who were on a 24/7 natural high of happiness and water so good looking one could drink from it, this indeed had paradise written all over it.

Jeremy stopped the boat at the checkpoint section where other boats were lined up and threw out the anchor to prevent robbery while the rest of the crew was looking in amazement before. They all got off the ship and were seen walking on the docks. Jeremy was first, followed by Kai, Aynos and the platinum haired warrior.this post=959 words

Yumi inhaled deeply. Her body slow in its movements as she entered the Training facility. The walls were adorned with various inscriptions and paintings of elder men and women. A short women with bright pink hair sat a few yards ahead of her. Foot tapping rapidly as an impatient look took over her face. Upon closer inspection, the women was quite old. Wrinkles covered parts of her face, as her vibrant pink hair was pulled up into a tight ponytail. Stern grey eyes looked up and down at Yumi. She wore white robes with orange inscriptions on them.

" My names Karo - San.. And For the moment I will be your sensai.. Your ten minutes late.. Don't let that happen again.." The older women's voice rang past Yumi. Her ? .. But she was so old..

The women led her to an open room. The room itself was very vacant. " So.. Miss Yumi, I've been informed your of Kai descent.. That means I expect much more from you.. And as a warm up.. I want you to.. Fight this gentlemen over here.. " This Karo women spoke. Yumi looked slightly confused. The girl stood about five foot five and had a fairly muscular build. Her beautiful pale green hair was then slowly pulled up into a low ponytail. Her feet were covered by a pair of flat, worn sneakers. Bare legs stretched up to her thighs. Where they were covered with a small pair of white spandex shorts. A rather long white T shirt covered her torso and down some over her hips. A Orange and yellow scarf wrapped around her neck. The trails of the scarf draping over her chest and back.

The man infront of her couldn't have been more then a year or two older then her. His physique was very intimidating. Muscular arms stretched out behind a baggy shirt with no sleeves. Legs hidden behind a set of black training pants. The man got into a fighting position, and dove at Yumi.

Naturally she fought back. Body twirling and twisting as she dodged his punches. She even put a hard left hook into his gut, and slammed her right knee into his chin. This didn't slow him down too much though, as the man began to pick up momentum. Meanwhile, Karo sat on a stool reading a magazine. The man sent a hard punch at her jaw, she would have sworn she herd a bone crack. The hot sent her flying. Her body tumbling to a stop. Coughing and catching her breath, she pushed to her feet.

The man smiled heartily. Now taking off towards her with a vicious speed. Pulling herself to her feet, Yumi inhaled and ran towards him.

The two fought for almost two hours before Karo finally was done reading her fourth magazine. Pulling her head up in time to watch Yumi throw a hard kick to the side of the man's head, and following up the kick with a gut. The man pulled down his body for just a few seconds to stop, and recover before Yumi ran up and slammed a knee hard into his face. Sending the man flying across the empty training hall. The man groaned, but didn't move. Yumi fell down to one knee and began to breath heavily. This was exhausting. Karo slipped off her stool and clapped. " Well, that took longer then I thought. But, HEY! Great job kid. Russ over there shouldn't be able to move for a while.. " The women spoke, waving her hand over at her former opponent.

Yumi pulled herself up onto her feet. " Now, next time you won't be late, will you. " Karo spoke sternly as Yumi's body pured sweat. " In here I will be teaching you the basics of becoming a fighter. The first basic step I will be teaching you will be, Flying !.. Yes, flying.. It's going to take lots of concentration so I want you to take a small water break and meet me here in Ten.. "

Yumi pulled her left arm over her head to stretch it out as Karo stood proudly infront of her. " This technique will take either a very short time to learn , or may take up to a week.. So I need you to close your eyes.."]/b] Karo spoke loudly as Yumi obeyed. Finally catching her breath, she inhaled and exhaled deeply. " Now I need you to find your energy.. I really couldn't care less how you find it.. Just find your self.. Find where your energy comes from.. Then I want you to imagine that this energy, is flowing through your entire body.. " Karo spoke as Yumi stood completely still. Concentrating. " Once you have this initialized, imagine that this energy is pushing you off the ground. That this energy is within you, and is pushing you up off the ground. That your lighter then the air itself... That - " Karo paused as she looked over too see that Yumi was levitating. And quite high. The women had levitated to almost the ceiling of the training fecility.

Yumi opened her eyes and realized what was happening and screamed as her body dropped fast, and she landed hard on her but. " HA HA, fantastic. Now all we have to do is get you to control it..

Chikiritīō Bāfurō



Chikiritīō sighed as he saw his ki attacks were small and weak. He fired another blast, to the same results. It seemed that his attacks couldn't get any stronger. 'This would be a lot easier if I had a training partner,' he thought. 'I should have asked someone to come with m-.' He cut off when he suddenly felt a familiar ki, making him freeze in his tracks. Chikiritīō slowly tuned around to see the man from before standing not to far behind him. "Y-You," he stammered. He remembered how he had brushed off his attacks like he was a harmless insect. Chikiritīō still had some cuts from where the blade had hit, though nothing major. The man stood their with an expressionless face. He then reached for his chokutō and charged toward Chikiritīō. "Not this time," he said, firing a barrage of ki blasts. The man cut through the blasts and the swung his blade at Chikiritīō's chest. He quickly jumped back and flipped into the air, hitting the man in his chest. Chikiritīō skidded across the ground as he landed and the man flipped backward to recover from the attack, quickly going back on the attack. His blade then purposely missed him, Chikiritīō jumping in the air to dodge him. He then sent him flying with a powerful back spin kick. Chikiritīō skidded across the floor and slammed into the academy. He then shook his head and struggled to lift himself off the ground. The impact of the attack had caused him to bleed from forehead. He closed his right eye as the pain seeped through him. This act succeeded in pissing him off, making him raise his ki to the limit. He then dashed toward the man at full speed, smashing into the man hard and sending him flying across the floor. Chikiritīō then flew into the air and threw a barrage of ki blasts at the man. "Die you piece of crap!" he shouted. The stress of the battle then came onto Chikiritīō and he dropped to the ground, exhausted. He lifted himself off the ground and froze in his tracks when he saw the man was still standing. The attack had caused him to drip blood as well, though he didn't get angry. 'This is impossible,' he thought. 'How is he still standing?' The man then charged at him and kicked him into the academy. He lifted himself off the floor. 'This guy is unreal,' he thought. He then remembered the technique he had been working on at the academy before he had been sent here. 'I may not have really practiced,' he thought, 'But at this point I have to pull out all the stops.' He then fired up his ki. "Let's see how you do against this," he said, charging toward the man. He then jumped into the air and flipped foward. Chikiritīō did it again and again continuously until he was spinning so fast he made a ball. It kept spinning and went straight for the man. He reacted by jumping into the air to dodge it. However, Chikiritīō then turned around and slammed into the man's back. He didn't stop there, though. Chikiritīō then cut right through the man. He then stopped turning and skidded to a halt. "Who was that man," he thought, walking up to the body. Suddenly, in a puff of smoke, the man turned into a thick log, to Chikiritīō's surprise. 'Substitution,' he thought. 'Wonder what that's all about.' He shook his head. 'This is just to crazy,' he thought. 'I need to rest.' He sighed and then flew into the air. Chikiritīō then left for home.
