A large, dark, deep and dangerous crevasse that you would think goes down forever. Tunnels and caves filled with creatures that you would hear from a fairytale. When you each the very bottom not even sound can escape. There is a climbing route to get to the bottom. There is a big cave at the bottom where an ominous glow is emitted. To find it you must explore the thick darkness of the deepest cave.

Jack found himself sitting in a chair when he next opened his eyes. It was rather easy to do so and since he could barely remember why he was waking up here in the first place, Jack determined that he was knocked out fairly quickly. But by whom and why? It is obvious whoever abducted Jack wanted him alive, now it was a matter of finding out who did it and why he or she did it. The room was dimly lit which made it easy for Jack to open his eyes, and he noticed that while he was sitting in a chair, he wasn't tied down. So standing up, Jack checked for missing items and he found that he had everything he owned, even his nano-swords. This was strange, he was abducted yet no precautions were taken leaving Jack to believe that he was more of a forced guest than actual prisoner. He began to look around, but he could at the moment find no exit. For now it was just a matter of waiting to find out who his gracious host was.

A black figure would quickly flash by in front of Jack's face, "Sit down..." a voice would say as the chair would suddenly slam into the back of his knees forcing him to sit. "You can place your weapons down you don't need them yet." A white mask would appear 15 feet away from the front of Jack. The mask tilted side ways as it awaited the on coming barrage of questions

Jack grunted briefly as his legs gave out from under him, forcing him to fall back onto the chair. Immediately he glared at the figure 15ft away from him. His gaze piercing. And while Jack definitely had some questions to throw this man's way, the most important one begged to be answered. Still, the leg thing was a tad unnecessary, and it didn't help Jack attitude towards him. He just had one question to ask, and he said it through gritted teeth. "What....do you want"?

The figure laughed at Jack's expression,"I am your new teacher." he would reply. Suddenly the lights in the room would brighten, changing the blue lighting into white light revealing a large cave with make shift furniture and high quality training equipment."Any questions? Be specific now... We don't want any misdirections."

His new teacher? Since when? He had received no official notification. Still, he was given permission by his captor to ask as many questions as he would like, and he definitely had some. "Fine. First off, I already have a teacher, second, even if you are, why the need to abduct me? Thirdly, where are we? And finally...who are you"? That was pretty much the gist of his questions, having those answered would paint a clearer picture on why Jack was here right now at this stranger's mercy.

The reaper like figure would sigh for a moment,"Well I guess officially, no I'm not your teacher, but I must say that girl you called a teacher is no swordsman. Shes been teaching you the sword the wrong way!" The reaper would take out his Katana and point it at Jack."The only thing she did right was respecting the weapon. I saw her first test with you and let me just say that nearly made me gouge my eyes out... I would have to say the last straw was accepting more students." He would begin pacing back and fourth almost in anger that he was even discussing the topic."Jack, the reason I-" he stopped to clear his throats for a moment"abducted you is because you were learning about swordsman ship the wrong way, you were hardly even learning how to use it let alone understand what it's for. You see I've been watching you for a long time now. Trust me when I say you're better off with me." The reaper figure would but the weapon back in it's sheath and turn to Jack with his arms crossed. The man was very patient and could wait for as long as it took before Jack accepted this new arrangement.

Well, that explanation was certainly....interesting. His expression was one of confusion and disbelief caused by the reasons presented to him. From the sound of it, Jack could almost swear that this mysterious figure was actually his personal stalker. That realization mustered out a small snicker. But once the humor of it all subsided, Jack blew upwards pushing away the bangs of hair away from his eyes. He would play along with the conversation and see where it got him, after all, if he was indeed superior to Razual, he wouldn't mind having a teacher that could teach things to Jack that Razual couldn't. "Alright, let's just say that I have a inkling of interest in what you have to offer me. But why me? There are many other swordsman on this island. Why do you care on how a certain person is taught? What do you gain from being my teacher"? It was a legitimate and cautious question, there had to be more to his explanation other than he just couldn't stand to see Razual teach him the "wrong" way to wield a sword. As far as Jack could tell, he wasn't being taught the wrong way, but they were certainly going at a snail's pace and Razual seemed to be pre-occupied with him teaching him other things than how to wield a sword better, which began to grate on Jack's nerves. He was in the middle of a tournament, and he had to grow in power fast.

The mask shot a glare at Jack for a moment,"You're the only serious Swordsman, you have potential to be one of the best. For what I gain, well that my business." The dark figure would walk closer to Jack and place his hand on his shoulder,"Also if you don't comply with these terms you never leave. This is a good thing I took you in, trust me. However there are rules if you wish to learn under me. " The man would walk away and sit down in a chair while awaiting Jack's response.

So he was a prisoner if he doesn't comply? And his student if he does? That doesn't leave alot of room for choice, and a person who could kidnap him in the blink of an eye could certainly kill him just as quick if he attempts to stage a event of resistance. Still, his answer pleased him. He was a serious swordsman, and all he wanted to do was get better at his craft. It was a compliment he didn't hear commonly, and it was good to hear it every now and then. Jack sighed at the entire situation presented before him, but he figured that this might all work out in the end. This mysterious man might actually be the teacher he needs to grow even more in power and the entire air this man gave off was one of power, a power that demanded respect. Maybe all this could work out, Jack was never the optimist but he saw an opportunity to grow in strength right before his eyes. He does not pass up such opportunities. Looking up at this man, Jack said, "State them".

He looked at Jack and would clap his hands together once before moving on."Well first one, you cannot tell anyone about me. I'll be watching. Second, until I get full devotion from you, you will not leave or show up without being knocked out first. Third, you must do as I say without question, if i say jump you jump." The man would wait for Jack's acceptance before telling him name.

A very predictable answer from someone who is basically forcing him to be his student. He didn't necessarily question the part about wanting to keep his identity secret, there are alot of people on the island who would rather not be known. Still, the rules weren't anything he hasn't heard before. Jack sighed in a slight exhale and said, "Ya...fine. Where do we start"? Jack was eager to see his methods of training which were supposed to be so different from Razual's method.

The black figure would take his katana and unsheathe it."Well, first off my name is Enkidu...Since you agreed I thought you might as well know." He said as he would walk up to one of the high end practice dummies and drag it closer to where we was before."First off, you need to be more brutal in your training. It may just be training but you always need to treat things like a real fight here, i learned that mistake long ago." Enkidu spoke in his deep voice, as he crouched down and began turning the base of the dummy until multiple clicks could be heard. "This dummy will spring up into the air in about a minute, when it does I will show you the Dragon Wind Up Flash Hair-spin, you must do exactly as I do." He would wait in his stance until the dummy would jump high up into the air. In an instant Enkidu would dash off at high speeds and preform a quick Wind Up Flash, he would land perfectly on his feet as the dummy would fall beside him."Don't expect to learn this on the first try, I don't even expect you to get to the dummy in time on the first try and landing perfectly? Well you can try." Enkidu said as he corrected the dummy to it's stand up position."Turn the base three times to make it jump up." He would then go and sit on his chair.
Dragon Wind Up Flash Hair-spin
Rank: B
Description: this is another variety of the Dragon Wind Up Flash. It begins by dashing into an opponent in mid air and at a tremendous speed. After getting into position beside your opponent, a Dragon Wind Up Flash will be performed. The damage is more powerful than the Dragon Wind Up Flash, due to its speed. However, landing poses a problem due to its speed and not only that, even though it is a B ranked skill, its force is C ranked.

(1) Jack wasted no time in trying the move out. It looked fast and powerful, just as he liked. Razual never taught anything like that to him before. He twisted the knob 3 times and waitied. Then the dummy jumped up into the air. Using the cave walls as leverage, Jack jumped besides the dummy and swung his sword in a Dragon Wind Up Flash, however the sword missed, or rather, it didn't hit the dummy hard enough. Not only that but he hit the ground hard. Considering it was rock he was on, the landing wasn't pleasant.
(2) He tried again. This time he hoped to get the timing right and learn to land properly. He set the dummy up and waited for it to bust into the air like last time. Up went the dummy, and up went Jack. Jack hit the dummy this time, but it wasn't hard enough and it barely scratched the surface. Once again, Jack went crashing down into the ground.
(3) He was getting slightly bruised up at this point, but he figured that after 2 failures he understood the trick of it all. He set up the dummy once more and up it went, along with jack. Getting along side it in the air, Jack twisted the sword into the dummy in a fast motion. The speed and strength was right, if it hit it he would have gotten the technique correctly, however he didn't compensate for timing and he missed completely, crashing to the floor.
(4) Alright, Jack was hurting but he understood it completely now. The only thing he didn't get was the landing which he figured he would have to fail and fail again in order to get the feel of it. But the timing, the strength and speed of it all, he got it. The dummy jumped into the air once more and Jack dove right for it, hitting it hard and fast. Had it been an actual person, it would have been dead. Still, Jack couldn't recover from the speed, so he came down on the ground hard. As sad as it was, Jack was gettng used to the taste of rock.
(5) Same results as last time, with one difference, Jack almost landed on his feet. He was just a few seconds off kilter, but now Jack was sure with the next attempt, he would finish this technique for good. He had everything down and memorized, now it was just time to put all he learned together.
(6) Jack jumped as the dummy jumped. Getting beside it in mid-air at a extremely fast speed, Jack swung his katana as it crashed into the dummy. As he went down to the ground, Jack timed his landing perfectly by twisting his body into the air and landing on his feet unharmed. Going up to Enkidu Jack said, "Hm, that was challenging, but I learned it nonetheless", Jack said rubbing his shoulders, clearly bruised. It didn't matter, he was used to the concept of pain, especially when it was necessary to gain strength. "What else", Jack asked

A loud snore could be heard from Enkidu whom was sitting in a chair asleep. When Jack spoke he snorted in surprise."Huh? Wha? Oh you finally finished? I thought you would have been done awhile ago." He said as he yawned,"I apologize, I dosed off. Right. So the next one would be... Dragon Rising Flash." Enkidu would get up and lazily walk over to the dummy to show Jack what to do. He quickly turned the base three times and got into stance, still half asleep he waited for the dummy to bounce up before jumping with it and striking what would look like vital spots on the dummies. He would land perfectly and let out a loud yawn."You see? Like that. Just hit all the vital spots on the body and you should have no problems." He said as he would go to scratch at his face but stop half way before shaking his head and heading to a make shift drawer where he would grab coffee beans and crush them up into a fine dust before putting them into a two cups. He would open up a bottle of water and pour it into a silver kettle that was hung over a flame. "Should be done when you finish... At the rate you learn..." He said rudely. He figured Jack had more potential then this, maybe the training with the woman had weakened him.
Dragon Rising Flash
Rank: B
Description: This move is like a dragon that lifts up into the air with the blade of the sword attacking its opponent's vital points with the force of its jump. It is the perfect counter attack against opponents attacking from above, or even when crouching down.
