Tsubasa Chronicle ~ Another Journey ~

"Well that would make sense. I speak and write english but I also understand Japanese. I can read the various writings to but they are to complicated for me to write. You need an artistic flair that I certainly don't possess." I was wondering when these guys would figure out that part. But still why are we able to understand each other? Is it coincidence that we can all speak the same language? Kane looked around himself at all the other people. No that can't be it. That wouldn't explain all these other people that we can understand. Hey wait a second. Kane had suddenly heard something that didn't strike him as right but it was to faint for him to hear. He closed his eyes and channeled his aura into his ears to make them more sensitive. Instantly all the sounds around him jumped up in volume but he ignored the ones that were close by. Instead he focused on the voices at the far side of the room.

"Shinso surey youtake?" One guard asked the other.

"Yaa. Mino shira shu to ridame phew ruda."

I can't make out what they are saying. Almost as if they are out of range of some sort of... Wait! Kane looked over at Mokona and let the sounds return to normal. "Hey Mokona. Are you translating these people for us?"

"Of couse silly. How else would you be able to travel around looking for treasures and things? This is just one of Mokonas special talents."

 

"I am sorry but we don't have very good accommodations for you tonight. We weren't expecting legendary heros here," Leon said.

"No fear. I can sleep under the stars if you like. Just get me a blanket or something as it might get a tad chilly."

"Well if you really want to. There is always the barracks though. Also the generals quarters as well. I tend to sleep with the men anyways, keeps morale up."

"And your partner in crime?"

"He tends to sleep on a roof believe it or not. I guess the generals quarters isn't all that big a deal for us here."

Weird guys. Well Rai Den and I will sleep outside. Guess these two can have the beds. I need to get a feel for the winds here anyways so I might as well get started. "You guys can have the beds. I'm fairly dead set on sleeping outside." Without anything more to say, Kane began walking towards a likely spot that was fairly clear while the others were led to the generals quarters. Kane drew his sword out and sat down with the blade at his side. Before to long he was sound asleep though his senses were still on red alert for any suspicious activity.

 

>Its fairly simple. Ok I am skipping ahead to morning.<

The sun was just peaking over the horizon when Kane's eyes snapped open. He didn't know what had awoken him, but he did know that he felt threatened. Eventually he calmed himself and stood up stretching. "What a nap."

He began walking towards the barracks to go see if everyone else was awake. It wouldn't surprise him if they were still asleep as his comrades had always poked fun at his early rising habits. He didn't mind that though.

 

"I am never gonna be ready to fight a real live fire breathing dragon." Kane sighs as he stops in front of Dune. "Truth be told my powers have their limits. They work off the energy inside of my body. If i over do it then I could end up to weak to stand, or worse. I could die altogether." Kane shrugs his shoulders around to loosen them up. "That said I also have another problem. Fire beats out Air so i won't be near as affective against his dragon breath. And my skills at water manipulation are less than mediocre. If only I could make a void but I'm more the wind type of guy. Anyways its up to you and Dune to take care of the actual killing of the thing. I'll do my best to keep it grounded so it can't get a height advantage." And if I have to be the one to kill it I'll have to use the razor ball technique i've been practicing. Still, I don't know if it can stand to a dragons scales. They've been said to be able to stand up to the sharpest steel. Guess I'll have to try.

>The Razor ball is a technique similar to the rasengan from naruto except he doesn't have to form it in his hands, and it doesn't rely on energy but more on compressed wind shooting in a hundreds of directions at once. For now he hasn't mastered it so he can take some accidental damage from his own attack (cutting his arm up and stuff if it blows back full force). When he masters it he can throw it but for now he has to get in close to use the technique. Actually it could pierce through a tanks armor and out the other side but the force is incredibly unstable for right now so it's doubtful that Kane can use it's full force adequately.<

 

>I won't spoil the surprise =D<

"Mokona won't tell. You'll know when you see it."

Kane sighed to himself inwardly. Little rodent is becoming a pain. Aside from transportation he really doesn't seem intent on helping us at all. "Alright we won't get anything out of the cream puff ball so let's get going. I suggest we try and find a wide open area to lure the dragon into. If we get backed into a corner it'll roast us and we can kiss our journey good bye." Kane looked down at the sword in his hands then decided to tell them. "Just so you all know my sword has one more form. The final form were the blade becomes pure white and my speed is increased to the point were I can create and maintain speed clones. I don't want to use it unless I have to because that is a form of last resort that requirs a tremendous amount of my power but if we need it I'll use it. If I do though stay out of the way because when I move it is easy to acciedentally hurt someone. It happened once in the past." And Zerieth almost murdered me for it. I don't think he's forgiven me yet either judging from the nasty look he gave me at work last month.

>To recap on that I wrote a chap which combined Zerieth and Kane as a partner team. I will never do it again. Zerieths power requires him to stand still in his final form while the water in the air is harnessed for his use. Kane's on the other hand requires that he move constantly. So when Kane tried going around Zer he instead rammed into him and knocked him flat. They still won but Zerieth was really pissed prideful man that he is.<

 

>ok didn't think about this. If someone does direct interation with another character that characters turn comes up first and then the cycle continues.<

"Not the faintest idea. I'm to busy thinking of ways that won't get me boiled. I mean I know someone who could make water and stuff from the atmosphere but aside from him I dunno who could possibly have that kind of power." And Zer still would have had a run for his money. "We are gonna have to rely on a lot of team work and blind luck if we are gonna walk away from this with all limbs attached."

 

"Sounds like as good a plan as any. I was always known for my speed so I can probably make him follow me if you guys don't mind me doing it. I've learned how to do something my colleagues call the warp step. It basically lets me move faster than the eye can see temporarily. If I do that it would be like dragging some beef from a starving dog." As unsaviory as it is I don't think we got the options. No clue how long gerik can use his abilities or what the limits are, and I haven't the faintest idea on Dune's limits either. I know mine and I know I can do this.

 

"Then I guess I will see you guys soon." With that Kane vanished.



Kane sat just above entrance of the dragons lair. He was having a lot of misgivings, after all he certainly wasn't the type to enjoy teasing a dragon, and was really hoping he didn't end up getting baked. Ah well no use stalling. Kane had already drawn his sword, and lightly jumped down from his perch. The dragon was right there. "Oh shi-" He back flipped out of the way as the dragon yawned and fried the spot he'd been standing on. Kane began warp stepping his way down the mountain, and the dragon was hot on his heals. "THIS WAS A VERY BAD IDEA!" Kane yelled as he narrowly dodged another stream of fire. "THIS WAS A REALLY STUPID IDEA TO!" He only hoped his energy could last him down the mountain. Those three idiots at the bottom better be ready.
