CHAPTER 3 (SAVING THE OLD SAGE)

Yoshida got home,his mom sees his wounds and is concerned ”yoshida what is this all about is it fujita,I thought that was taken care of” from behind the scene ”yuki is yoshida home,*what!!!*,what happened if fujita so much as laid a finger on you so help me,what happened and where is your fancy stick don’t tell me he stole that too” yoshida thought to himself “he couldn’t tell them what really happened cause if he did his family will get involved besides would they even believe”so he replied saying “0h,I ran some drunkards and they were pretty mad when I bumped into one and didn’t apologize,it was dark I couldn’t see their faces so they ganged up on me “ “I have told you so many times afterschool at least come home first before we start worrying ,for now please stay off the streets, I will still inform the police about this incident.

Yoshida on his bed after dinner just thinking of everthing wukong had done for him,if not him he will still have been the defenseless boy ,now he training to savethe world.he stood up and went back to the river were it all started and he jumped in the river and said to himself “wukong if you are out there hold on I’m coming” and as tears began to develop in his eyes he hit the river bed and felt something,so he began to dig frantically there was a book relatively big but sizeable enough he grab it and swarm out ,he opened the book and recgonized the old sage’s writing and he scanned through the title which was apparently “A Monkey King Tale”,it told of wukong’s entire life and all his misadventures but it centre piece was all the techniques he had gathered through out his journeys and even the one’s he learn’t while exiled in moutain castore. He knew he what he had to do,then raced home and began to train with immedaite effect,he didn’t need to worry too much,the cult will probably try to destroy the staff and the monkey king’s soul would be lost in the abyss,but only the venom of rizu a snake god could destroy the staff, but rizu hated odafang as much as odafang hated wukong as a result it would be difficult to get it, thus yoshida stii had time.

Hence our young protagonist would teleport to castore back and fort training for the next two month,until one day at mountain castore yoshida had just perfected one of his technique then he realized that even with all this training he didn’t even know where the black orchids were based,or even how to go about his plan. He really needed some help then a mysterious vioce could be held “who is there”said yoshida “a friend”replied the vioce “so you are the one wukong chose to succeed him hmmm!(impressed expression)I couldn’t have chose one better myself,do not let him down”,”you will need this”and a small pocket journal was tossed at yoshida,he caught it with speed,yoshida shouted”when can we meet” “soon!!!!!”as the mysterious vioce vanished,

And so it began on Friday the 19th may at dawn would be the battle that would prove yoshida’s worth as a cultivator,as he looked at what seemed like an abadoned power plant “well this is were the journal said they were based. according to this (looking at the book)outers are in charge of guard duty,wherever it is they are holding the staff is somewhere in this plant,I’d better get moving they probably have guards watching out for intruders, I’m gonna have to be extra careful”he leaped into the plant and was on the move

It took up to an hour but he finally saw it the temple of the black orchid,to build it in a secluded area to draw less attention,yoshida mustered his courage and went in he had to get past a bunch of guards and knock out a few,he was looking for some thing that resembled a throne room, “yes!!!” said yoshida quietly as he saw a very wide diminutive room with just a throne and “there it is”,the staff was in his sight within a cage that seemed to limit’s it’s movements “I have to think of a plan” then three inner gates walked in,one holding a container of a strange liquid “finally,what happened” said odafang looking at his disciple with one arm(shiu) “sir ,all the outer gates who came with us along with two of the inner gates ,zeen and yanti were killed along with my arm,but it was all in your service”and as shiu bowed odafang looked at him and said” it is a shame you will die along with the rest of your kind ,I could have kept you as a lowly servant” “sir anything would do if me and my family survive” odafang simply ignored him,taban and melech simply bowed in distress as they would die even as his most loyal subordinate “now” said odafang comes closer and closer and closer to the staff to apply the venom “shall we get started” *zoom!!!* “we shall!!” yoshida racing out of the room with the staff in hand “ahhhh!!! Human,this is why I will like to eradicate them,shoubjen aura!!! and a black beam of light eminates from odafang’s hand and collides with the inners granting them new found power. Odafang pionting at the inners“if you want to renew your right to life bring me that staff!!!” and with a *boom!!!* the inners were in strong pursuit,yoshida was already being chased by the outers before he could counter them and run,shiu out of nowhere grabbed the staff “No!!!,cmon”still trying to fight the inners,taban attacked him launching our hero several meters in the air,yoshida couldn’t react fast enough. “jenhku blaze!!! And a mass beam of red energy heading straight,yoshida reacted interlocking his fingers coating himself in a protective seichi(spiritual energy) but even that couldn’t withstand the strongest attack of an experienced cultivator such as taban,yoshida was bruised and batteredand could barely move “you survived that because of the tengen(protective seichi) that you manifested” taban beganto unsheathe his dagger to land the killing blow “you should have just let the monkey gahkkah(coughing blood)*thud!!!*went taban’s motionless dead body, “did he just die from what seemed to be a flame covered hand going through his chest, who was that” and a man of average height with peach skin dressed in red jump suit,his eyes seemed to glow scorching with fire, “your pyros aren’t you” “how did you know”pyros enquired “wukong told me stories and besides I recognize your vioce from that day in the mountains,thanks for that anyway(pionts at taban’s body)” “don’t sweat it kid”,malech with a colossal war hammer in his hand about to smash pyros,he dodges effortlesly destroying the ground beneath him,”get out of here,go get the staff”.

Yoshida ran off hestitantly,pyros facing the battle at hand ”let us see the power of odafang’s disciple” melech with the combine force of the outers attacked pyros.

Yoshida made his way through more rubble and wreckage but he could sense shiu and the staff, “oh there you finally,*trrgh*(painfully grabbing his shoulder)that your fiery friend sure does pack a punch,odafang has decided you’d be a threat none the less with or without the staff so my new objective is, KILL YOU!!!” and suddenly several outers coming out with broad swords dashing towards him, “I can do this,hidden moon earth tier time(blue translucent spheres encompassed seceral outers) lapse(the sphere forcelly imploded crushing them)” another tried stabbing him from behind but yoshida manages to counter with a blade he grabbed from one of the dead ones and slashed at his neck slicing into warrior after warrior, “I’ll finish you all(in the tone of a true warrior{shouting})hidden moon sky tier Amenary bikoiri” suddenly massivewaces of ice started to pulsate from his body freezing all the outers trying to attack him.

Yoshida with in anger is now holding two bladeswalking and searching almost completely worn out “shiu come out and fight ,you are nothing but a coward” *boom!!!* shiu blasted him so hard he began to bleed “thats the end of your capabilities ,the hidden moon is strong but you’ve completely drained your stamina and spiritual energy,your finished(menacingly)” “not so fast*cough*cough hidden moon heaven tier stuomen!!!” “huh!!” yoshida’s arms had been covered in gold armour his new blue aura had healed his injuries and renewed some of his strenght “you were saying” “although it is impressive you can use this level of the hidden moon but I will show you why I am the stronfgest disciple of the black orchids” the same black energy from the shoubjen initially used covered hi regenerating his arm “Now die now”,yoshida grabbed the staff at lightning fast speed*zoom!!!* “huh! Have your stinking staff you’ll be dead soon anyways” with a sword in is hand he attacked yoshida “rulling spirit hailberd”(summons a golden hailberd for a limited amount of time)

Shiu slashes at yoshida pulverising him with the hailberd.yoshida is sent flying “dammit”*arrgh(painful cry) “c’mon kid embrace the stoumen focus your strenght into the technique concentrate and crush this guy!!!” wukong heatedly speaking to yoshida.*deep breaths,the next set of attacks coming from shiu's first was almost completely blocked "let's get serious",and yoshida and shiu began exchanging blows basically on par with each other and with a massive battle cry yoshida slams shiu with his staff sending him into the air and then shot upwards sending him right back to the ground but before shiu could even hit the ground yoshida delivered a cartwheel fujin kick releasing an intensely powerful shockwave on impact shattering shiu's mask sending him metres away, yoshida landed to look at shiu's face but he could see a gentle man who threw away his life for the black orchid to protect his family,and yoshida walked more determined than everyone stop odafang,shiu began coughing violently and shouted "you are really bent on stopping odafang you should know it won't be easy, I'm counting on you so please don't let them die" and those were shiu last words *boom!! a loud noise could be heard from the distance "huh,pyros" yoshida rocketed off to find him "pyros,pyros,pyros,py_ _ _" yoshida looked in shock at a severely injured pyros,they seemed to be small black rocks that had stabbed him in almost every part of his body. "What the heck happened" pyros slowly loosing his breath explained he was ambushed by something, he said he felt paralyzed,wukong then manifested again "pyros you were the only father figure I ever had,I pray I have the strength to carry on your will", "I was willing to give up my godhood to help because I trust that the boy can win and I still do" placing his hand on yoshida's chest, a strange fire energy passes through him placing a fire emblem on his chest "use it well" and then pyros died. "Let's go home kid,things just got a whole more personal.

Scene change

We see odafang on top a sky scraper "do you understand" then a mysterious purple eyed figure replies from the shadows "consider it done" squeezing a stolen picture of yoshida's class picture.
