Chapter 1

My name is Kenichi Shirahama I have been a victim of bullying all my life. I have been beaten up, made fun of and literally spat upon all I would do was wear a smile and take the beatings however I have been secretly bottling my hatred and my anger deep within my heart. If I didn't do something about it soon I may die or worse.

I sat down on a bench as I took a deep breath trying to regulate my heartbeat. I looked down at my school uniform it was a navy blue button up shirt and a pair of pants along with a pair of white shoes, such a bland uniform. I was going to go back to the school where my bullied life was never going to stop, unless I did something about it. However I don't know how to stop it!

"Hello Kenichi Shirahama"

I turned towards the direction of the voice that uttered my name, it was man dressed in a large cloak that covered him entirely the only thing I could see were his boots that were brown in both shades of light and dark along with its original tone. I stared at this man and wondered what he wanted from me?

"Who are you? Are you another person here to beat me up and make my life a living hell?"

"No Kenichi I am your friend and I'm here to ask you a simple question."

"Yeah and that question would be?"

"Do you desire power?"

I looked at this stranger with confusion and skepticism I didn't know how to answer this question so I gave him the only answer I could give him.

"Listen I don't know what you are trying to sell but I have to get to school."

I get up from the bench, grabbing my bag and kept walking onward to school I walked past him or at least I thought I did as he stood in my way like a wall.

"Why do you wish to go back to a place where you are constantly bullied Shirahama?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I can see your rage, your sorrow, your envy, your regret, and your hatred deep within you it's tearing you apart. You wish to have a way to let all of those emotions go but you don't know what to do. I however have solution to your predicament."

"So let's just say that I believe you? Which I don't! Why would you offer it to me why not some big muscular guy that would benefit you?"

"Because Kenichi I believe that you can be made into a powerful warrior. All I ask is for you to trust me."

He stuck out his hand and I looked at it, could I really trust this guy? I mean he comes out of the blue and offers me power should I accept this offer? Well what do you have to lose? I stuck out my hand and grabbed his hand.

"You have made a wise choice Kenichi Shirahama."

"I guess so, so may I ask what happens now?"

"Well Kenichi we must leave Japan."

"Wait what you're talking about is nuts; why should I leave Japan?!"

"Well you see we must leave this place so that your training may begin."

"Okay I understand however I have one request."

"You wish to inform your school sensei and your family that you will be gone for awhile."

"Well just my family they will probably let the school know of my absence."

"Cool so all we have is one stop. Wait right here for second."

He walked off as I sat back down on the bench I waited for a few seconds and before I could blink he pulled up next to me on his motorcycle. It was a beautiful bike the entire body of the bike was a combination of both brown and tan that seemed to have a soft glimmer, the rims along with the handlebars were a medium toned blue green that had some sort of translucent glow about them that seemed to pull me into a hypnotic state. On the side of it I saw spray painted the words Earth Shaker.

"I know she's beautiful isn't she; I call herEarth Shaker."

"Hmm that's an interesting name. So it's a sports bike right?"

"Yeah you can tell?"

"Yeah since you are leaning forward to drive it that and I can tell its been custom made"

"Ah you got a good eye. C'mon let's go." He said to me as I caught the helmet he threw towards me. He pressed a button on his bike and his bike's rear stretched back giving me some room to sit. I sat down as he revved up the bike, the engine roared which made me jump a little this thing had a lot of power.

"Well here we go!" He launched himself back popping a wheelie as he sped off. I squeezed the bike with my legs holding on tight as everything sped past me becoming a blur.

"You might want to hold onto me Kenichi! It's going to get a little crazy!" he shouted at me I did as advised and held onto him, I'm glad I did he lifted up the bike was now riding on top of the wall! This guy was insane but I had to admit this was badass. He jumped to another wall and kept his speed up until he jumped off the wall and was now on the power lines! This guy was absolutely insane! We kept going on the power lines until he finally jumped off of them and pulled to a screeching halt in front of my house. I got off the bike quickly my legs wobbling uncontrollably I could hear him chuckling.

"It's not funny; you psychopath!"

"Come on man there is nothing like good adrenaline to get the blood flowing."

"You are seriously insane! Well it looks my mom is the only one home so do you think you can wait out here for about five minutes?"

"Yeah I can wait."

"Thank you."

I walk into the house to see my mother fooling around in the kitchen she was as mom like as usual. She had a gentle exterior that could calm any savage beast, and yet her interior was that of a genius able to analyze any situation and calmly react to it. She was a true angel of a mom. I came up behind her and gave her a hug she didn't jump or flinch all she did was chuckle.

"Hello Kenichi"

"Hey mom um can I talk to you?"

"Of course son; just sit down on the couch and we'll talk"

"Okay."

I did as instructed and waited for a few minutes she came out of the kitchen drying her hands on her apron and sat herself down next to me.

"Now what is it Kenichi?"

"Well um I don't how to say this so I will just say it I am going to leaving for awhile."

"Oh okay where to?"

"No you don't understand mom I'm leaving Japan." I said to her with determination in my eyes.

I froze waiting for her reaction all she did however; was get up and smile as she walked to me. She pulled me into a classic mom hug my head resting on her stomach as her hand ran itself through my hair.

"Oh Kenichi my son please be careful I feel like that something absolutely dangerous will happen to you. So promise me that you will be careful."

"I promise mom and thank you for understanding." I hugged her back as she kissed my head which filled my body with kindness and warmth. I let go and got up from the couch walking towards the door I grab the knob and turn it I looked back at her as she smiled at me.

"See you when I get back mom."

"Goodbye my son please comeback safely."

"I will."

Opening the door and closing it behind me as I walked out to the stranger as he leaned back on his bike with his arms crossed.

"I'm ready."

"Good lets go."

He hopped back on his bike and started up I hopped back on it too putting on my helmet and without a second delay we were off. He immediately picked up speed and we were moving really fast so fast that all I could do was look at the sky trying not to get dizzy. The stranger came to a screeching halt throwing me off guard as I held on tightly as we barely just missed getting hit by the wall.

"Wait why did we stop?"

"This is where we travel on foot."

"Where to?" I asked as I got off the bike.

"Just you wait Kenichi."

All of a sudden I hear electricity crackle and pop as a pink portal appeared before us, he walked towards the portal and held out his hand inviting me in.

"Are you ready Kenichi?"

"Yes I am let's get going."

I take his hand as we both stepped into the portal and my world changed in a flash. I looked at my surroundings to see I was in some strange world that could have been the very representation of hell. Large fireballs rained down from the sky hitting various places around us, the sky was blood red I looked on the ground to see real lava flowing downward off of the cliffs.

"Where are we?"

"This is where you will prove you're worth Kenichi."

"What are you talking about?"

"Over there next to the cliff you will stand and you will take you to that floating platform there you will be tested."

"What tested for aids?"

"No dumbass!" he slapped me in the back of the head and gave me a scolding look or at least that's what kind of look he would give me if I could see his face.

"As I was saying you will be tested; if you fail you will die."

I looked at him and I could tell there was nothing but seriousness in his voice. I felt fear course through me but I pushed it aside and looked at him with confidence.

"Alright I accept the test."

"Good then I would like to ask you to stand near the cliff."

He pointed towards it and I walked to it just standing here and before I could ask any questions the ground beneath me rumbled. It lifted itself off the ground and was now floating I almost lost my balance but I quickly regained it. I looked down at it to see it floating above an entire volcano the heat from the lava wasn't uncomfortable, for some strange reason it was soothing to me as if it was inside of my very being igniting an inner flame deep inside of my soul. The platform stopped and I hopped off of it landing on the half orb of a platform I had to admit it was huge, plenty of space everywhere no trees or other rocks just blank space. I turned around as the rectangular platform left I looked forward and saw something I never thought I would see a horde of demons.

They were everything that I would expect: large and muscular, their skin was as red as the sky itself and their hands and feet were monstrous even though they had the anatomical resemblance of a human hands and feet. Their fingernails and toenails were pointed and look sharp; their horns were a pale tan as they pointed upward. Their last feature that was truly demonic were their teeth it they were neither white nor yellow but blood red meaning they just have been fed but were hungry for more. Without any warning they charged at me I shook off my shock and ran towards the horde as they sped up I did the same but at the last second of collision I went left making them stop as I quickly turned around to face them.

"Don't move"

For some reason I listened to that voice and ceased all movement as the demon impaled me with his grotesque claw I could feel myself slipping away bit by bit into the cold arms of death.

"It is time for you to awaken your hidden power!"

That voice had returned and for some strange reason I felt stronger even though I was losing a lot of blood but this strength I was gaining back for some reason I was getting angry there was no fear hindering this feeling nor logic trying to reason with me to rid myself of it. My anger continue to rise I felt like nothing could make this feeling any stronger than it is.

"Hm it looks like he is nothing more than a weak mortal."

That was the last straw the very thing that made me explode as I let out an angry scream but when it escaped my lips it was a primal roar of pure unrelenting rage. I looked at the demons as shock had plastered itself on their faces I took this opportunity and chopped off the demon's arm he screamed as I threw punch knocking his head clean off his grotesque body. Blood exploded from his decapitated area as it splashed my face I closed my eyes and opened them feeling the warm blood on my face fueled my rage. I immediately charge at the other shocked demon and grabbed his arm pulling it off his body as if it were paper he screamed but it didn't last long as I dug my hand into his chest, pulled out his heart and crushed it instantly. He fell down like a sack a bricks but I didn't waste time as I spun around and charged at the last two demons.

They shook off their flabbergasted looks and came at me they had their hands raised and they struck down fast however I was faster as I was already on their shoulders performing a handstand. They looked up only for them to make contact with my feet as I let myself fall into a flip which allowed me to kick them as hard as I could in their faces. They flew back off the edge of the platform and screamed until they hit the bottom. I looked around me to see more demons appear before me literally dropping out of the sky like damn rain. I clenched my fists as the ones that landed came at me, their teeth baring ready to chomp a piece of my skin out of me.

All I could do was smile as my rage didn't even settle it did the opposite it kept building until I could feel it bursting out my eye sockets!

"Come on! I'll take you all on!" I shouted as I charged at them using my own claws and ripping through their flesh as they did to me. One turned into two, two turned into three, three turned into four, and before I knew it I was ripping them apart in groups of ten.

They threw in a couple of good punches, kicks, scratches, and bites but I just kept going until this whole platform was covered in their blood! As I continued to tear through the hordes of demons I could feel a strange amount of power swirling around my left hand, I kick a demon in the chin propelling myself up into the air in a dynamic set of flips till I stopped and looked at my left hand to see a glowing golden ring appear on my hand. Then suddenly a straight beam of light appeared in front of it, I grabbed the beam and it materialized itself into a strange looking blade.

Suddenly a flash of images started to invade my head it was me! I spun the blade so fast that it became a flat circle I let go of it and it began to glow with hot intensity as I grabbed it when it was at its hottest. And as soon as they came they were gone.

"I don't know what that was but it's time to end this nonsense!"

I grabbed the blade and began to spin between my fingers whilst switching between hands as I did that my entire body felt like it was on fire as I could feel the heat of the blade. I stopped spinning it and began to spin myself as I plummeted towards the platform. Some demons tried to jump up and stop me but it only got them shredded to bits and their remains burned to a crisp. As I reached the platform I stabbed the blade into it and began to let out a scream as I gathered my energy.

"Harumagedonodon!" (Dawn of Armageddon)

In a sudden burst all of my built up energy was released in powerful heat wave I shut my eyes but even with my eyelids blocking my sight I could see my vision turn red from the light. After about fifteen seconds I open my eyes and see nothing but the smoldering ashes of the demons. Each one in a different position than the other, I look around to see no more demons I even check the sky but there was nothing but red sky.

"Truly amazing Kenichi-san" I turned around to see the stranger that had brought me here along with five other strangers in robes. I grip my blade tightly ready to fight but suddenly I felt light headed, my vision as if it was put on a seesaw was going side to side, I grabbed my face and stabbed my sword into the ground to keep steady.

"Who are you? What is this damn place! What the fuck do you want from me?!"

They looked at each other as I tried to keep my balance but before I could get an answer I fell backwards my blade had vanished and I was on the ground staring at the red sky as two bars of darkness began to take over my vision.

"It seems that he is the one" that is all I heard as I faded into unconsciousness. I slowly wake up and as I did I tried to look around but all I saw was darkness as far as the eye can see. There was nothing not even a sound this was creepy am I dead?

"Trust me kid you are not dead"

I turned around to see a man who at least four inches taller than me, his hair was short reaching just barely past his neck, he wore a shirt that was black around the sleeves and cut the rest of the white in front of the shirt in half giving the shape of a T, he wore a black belt that held up his tan pants and a pair of flimsy sandals. Who is this guy?

"If you wondering who I am I'll tell ya. My name is Jin Kanzaki and I'm your ancestor."

"Wow so that means I am dead if I am talking to my ancestor."

"No you idiot!" he smacks me upside the head almost knocking me off balance but I quickly regain it.

"Now as I was saying you are not dead you are unconscious from what you did I have say I am impressed."

"What did I do? I mean all I remember doing is yelling at six cloaked strangers and passing out."

"Well let me show you what you did."

He snapped his fingers and a flat circle appeared lighting this dark place and it began showing me getting stabbed in the chest which made me jump a little but that wasn't even the tip of the iceberg it then showed me transforming into some strange creature. My skin was black as the darkness in this room covering my entire top half of my body from my head to my fingers, then it was overlapped by crimson sleeves of skin that covered my arms, abdomen, and gave me some very sharp looking horns on my head that pointed upward and to the side. I had become something indescribable as I kept watching I had a mixed feeling of shock and awe as I saw myself ripping through horde after horde of demons then I kick flipped off of one and was at least seventy feet in the air!

A strange blade appeared in my hand and I spun it around as if I have done it before, the blade shined brighter than the sun as I held onto it, spun myself so fast I looked like a spinning pillar. I crashed on the ground but was unaffected by it and I shouted something summoning a giant dome of fire and burned the demons to ash. The picture vanished and I merely stood there trying to contemplate how in the hell did I do that?!

"You are probably wondering how you were able to do that."

"Yeah obviously you have the answer right?"

"Indeed but before I explain do you know what an atavism is?"

"The reappearance in an individual of characteristics, traits, or genes; that have been absent in intervening generations or the reversion to an earlier type."

"Impressive thankfully that will make this conversation a lot easier. Simply put Kenichi that transformation you went through was an atavism from me."

"Wait a minute you mean to tell me that because of you I was able to do all of that?"

"Yep pretty much."

"So wait if that was because of you then why haven't been able to do that before?"

"Kind of figured you'd ask that; well Kenichi since you understand what an atavism is its time for me to explain to you a rare occurrence that happens in a few individuals and that occurrence is called the Atavism of the Mazoku"

"Atavism of the Mazoku?"

"Yes what it's like an extreme example of an atavism except the being that causes it can deliberately transfer its DNA excessively until it reaches an heir strong enough to succeed it creating a demon sleeper."

"So wait a minute if you can transfer the DNA excessively to me wouldn't that mean you did the same thing to the rest of my family?"

"Hmm you catch on quick that's true I did transfer the DNA to your family members however they weren't strong enough you however were and because of that the true heir aka you has been found."

"So what does that truly mean exactly?"

"It means Kenichi that I will remove my DNA from the rest of your family and place them inside of your DNA helix which will make you complete."

"Okay wait I'm not complete?"

"No not yet but rest assured it won't take me long maybe around three days."

"Alright so what happens now?"

"Now you wake up."

I woke up gasping for air I looked around frantically studying my surroundings. The walls were a medium toned crimson and four pillars covered the four corners of the room. The door was made of a well polished oak which was decorated with marble that made it really nice looking. I looked down at the floor to see it was carpeted the color of course was red. The bed had black sheets along a black pillow case, I noticed that I wasn't restrained as my breathing had calmed down, however I was missing my shirt and button up shirt that must mean that it has been stained with my blood since I was impaled. I pulled back the cover and swung my feet off`1 the bed and was about get up until the door opened and in walked in a very beautiful woman.

She wore a dark pink veil over her mouth and wore some sort of long sleeve shirt that did not cover her breasts completely and some sort of loin cloth that was behind her and was tied together by two long black cloths and circular iron belt. She wore long black heeled boots that had seven buckles on them one big square one and three other square and circle ones that got smaller and smaller when they reached her foot. I didn't know who this woman was but I had a feeling I had to keep my guard up even though I would never hit a woman.

"Are you feeling better?" I was thrown off by her voice it was sexy almost seductive sound of her voice I half blushed but quickly shook it off.

"Yes I am did you fix me?"

"No your wound healed however you were unconscious for a while." that shocked me that a wound like that healed on its own but that was something to think about later.

"So I guess I should be going?"

"Going where?"

"Well I was brought here by those cloaked strangers so I believe I am in some sort of danger."

"Oh you aren't in any danger Kenichi."

"Really? What's the catch?"

"No catch whatsoever."

She walked towards me her hips swaying she wrapped her arms around my head at first I jumped figuring she was going break my neck but she started to pet me which was weird. She then pushed me down on the bed and before I could blink she was next to me she removed her long sleeve shirt and was now topless I immediately turned away but she turned my head around and pulled me into her breasts.

"Don't look away Kenichi it's alright"

"But you are naked Ms.?"

"Mileena my name is Mileena"

"I don't want to be rude Ms. Mileena but I was always taught to respect a woman and that means not to look when she is naked."

"That's alright because I want you to look Kenichi."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes I am now look at me"

I opened my eyes and I could see her breasts they were incredibly soft I rubbed my face in them and sighed. Mileena pet my head some more as I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Hmm you are strong Kenichi you will make a great disciple."

"Wait you mean you? Are a martial arts master?"

"Yep."

I let go of her and slip out of her grip as I hopped out the bed quickly and before she could blink I bowed to her.

"Please forgive me for not showing you respect Master Mileena!" My vision was still fixated on the ground I felt two arms wrap themselves around my neck.

"There is no need for that Kenichi Shirahama; although I do appreciate the respect."

"No problem Master Mileena"

"Now before we go into the main chamber why don't we finish what we started?"

She let go of me and she removed her boots and circular belt and even her veil which revealed her razor sharp teeth. Man! Those teeth looked sharp enough to chew through steel! Strange I am not afraid of them nor her instead I was intrigued by this woman of incomprehensible beauty. I got up and walked to her as she backed up against the wall opening her arms to me.

"Come to me Kenichi-san. Come and I shall remove your virginity"

I climbed on the bed and I felt immediately I felt it being removed from with each passionate kiss she gave and for every sweat covered movement we did I could hear her whimpers, moans, groans, and screams as I was able to give her pleasure as she gave me pleasure. She panted as she tried to catch her breath I planted kisses all over her body which made her giggle.

"Even though I would like to stay on this bed with you Kenichi; it's time we go to the main chamber."

"Of course master but what is in the main chamber?"

"You will see when we get there."

She got up from the bed and bent over to get her clothes which made me excited again. I grabbed her hips and she gasped a little bit then giggled again.

"Well someone is energetic."

"Sorry I can't help it. Would it be okay if we went another round?"

"Sure we got some time anyway let's keep going till you are satisfied."

Kami knows how much time had passed all I knew was that master Mileena absolutely perfect I was completely synchronized with her body and I that I could feel my burning lust being satisfied. After the incredibly satisfying session between me and master Mileena; we were able to move from the room and towards the main chamber she had been talking about. I was amazed by this place it was like a palace or some kind of fortress. Its walls were the same color as the ones in the room bright crimson red, the carpet beneath us had a long rectangular carpet extending out to the end of the long hall. She opened the doors revealing a large room that had a lower level in it, I look down to see a giant map and figures this room must have be a war room god knows whose. We made a right and a left and passed through another set of doors then another until we finally were in the main chamber.

I looked around and I saw the room was pretty big and spacious; I looked forward to see two windows in the shape of eye holes and a throne between them and a really big guy sitting on it. His most noticeable feature was his crazy looking spiked helmet it looked like he removed the skull of a demon and customized it to make it into his helmet, however that wasn't the only spiky thing on his person. His shoulder guards that held his cape in place, the large button that held the X strap wrapped around his torso, his crazy looking wrist bands and fist guards and lastly his mahogany leg guards that matched his cape had three spikes on the knees. This man must be a psychopath or something because he is scary looking as hell.

"Kenichi meet Emperor Shao Khan my father" my heart stopped for a minute as I looked at Mileena and looked at the Emperor Shao Khan they was related! And I just- I mean I just- oh crap. She laughed at my look of shock and the so called emperor let out a light chuckle as he got off his throne and walked towards me until he was staring down at me with his crazy looking red eyes. I immediately shook out of my shock as I stared back at him with my strongest stare.

We kept at it for a minute until he nodded his head and put his large hand on my shoulder completely enveloping it.

"You got some guts kid and I respect that. Welcome Kenichi Shirahama to my fortress."

"Whoa this is your fortress?"

"Indeed it is."

"You have a very impressive fortress Emperor Shao Khan."

"Please call me Master Shao Khan."

"Wait I thought that your daughter would be my master?"

"Now Kenichi one person can be trained by more than one master."

"Oh okay so um if I may ask how many masters will have? Master Shao Khan?"

"Including me and Mileena you have sixty-two masters"

"Sixty-two masters wow."

"Seriously"

I had to sit down as I tried to comprehend this situation I was in. I mean sixty two masters! That was a lot of training I guess this would be my way of gaining power. Wait a minute where are those six cloaked figures?

"Um Master Shao Khan may I ask you a question?"

"You are wondering who those six cloaked figures are that you met on the platform"

"Yes I wish to know who they are so I may thank them."

"They are right behind you."

I turned around and his statement was correct they were indeed behind me I didn't even hear them come in! Who are these guys? Now that I got a good look at them their were two who were the tallest one that was near to their height, two of the same height, and one shorter than the rest but not by much.

"Now why don't you all introduce yourselves to your new brother in arms?"

They all nodded their heads and pulled back their hoods revealing four guys and two girls the tallest one had brown hair that reminded me of a lion's mane and aquamarine eyes. Going down the line the next one had long white hair that spiky as much as the last guy his eyes were light green. Next was the female who was red head her hair stopped at the sides of her face and her eyes were a gentle burgundy. The guy standing next to her right had a lighter shade of brown hair and his eyes were a strong blue. Now the last two was a girl and the boy, the girl had a mixture of light and dark blue hair the light on top and the dark underneath it, the guy next to her had a medium toned tan hair and his eyes were lighter shade of green.

The brown haired one stepped up first and stuck out his hand and I shook it.

"Hey Kenichi glad to see you are awake and alive"

"I don't really know you sir"

"Oh right I am the guy who picked you up the name is Terra" suddenly realization hit me hard as his voice came flooding back to me in memories then I looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks for not leaving me on that platform"

"No problem oh let me introduce everyone. That guy is Riku, the red head is Kairi, the squirt is Sora, the blueberry as I call her is Aqua and the second squirt is Ventus"

"It is nice to meet you all masters: Riku, Kairi, Sora, Aqua, and Ventus" I bowed my head to them in sign of respect they all came over and patted me on the back and just smiled. They told me there was no need for that and that it was cool just to call them by their names. There was no need to add master to their names, master Shao Khan coughed to get everyone's attention as he explained to me that these six were trained by masters of their choosing and that they were also all master swordsmen or women in Aqua and Kairi's case. He then explained to me that where was an alternate dimension and because of that time was different here than from where I was from so I would be able to train with these sixty two masters including him and Mileena.

"So do you have any questions?"

"Well two actually. One how long will it take? And two how soon can we start?"

"Well it will approximately take five thousand years but like I told you before this alternate dimension is separate from yours so five thousand years here will be five regular days and nights in your dimension"

"So you mean to tell me I can get really strong in just five days?!"

"Yes you can and to answer your second question the training starts as soon as you are ready."

I looked at him with determination burning in my soul as I was ready to transcend this weak form of mine into a higher form of power I was ready to become one with the power to no longer tolerate the idiots who abused power on the weak. As I took a deep breath I opened my eyes and allowed eight words to leave my lips.

"Teach me and I shall learn my master" After those words left my lips I began my training,
_

I had to admit it was absolutely insane but I didn't complain not one bit. My mind, body, and soul were pushed to limits that made me almost question my very existence. However I didn't give up I merely pushed through the pain and suffering also when I had some free time the gang told me about what my weapon was and that I had summoned it when I fought the demons. Apparently it was a powerful weapon known as the keyblade a blade that had the attributes of both a key and blade thus the name. It could unlock any lock no matter what key it belonged to so it was like a bad ass skeleton key but that was sharper than average steel. They told me that the keyblade chose me for some reason and it was because of that I was able to wield it.

They also said they would teach me how to wield it but it was up to me to develop my own style with it for that was the true power of the keyblade. So with their training on how to wield the keyblade along with the martial arts training and weapon training I went through with my masters I was pretty busy. Now seven thousand years later or seven days back in my dimension I had completed my training with my masters along with the gang. I have to say even though seven thousand years passed I hadn't really aged like I thought I would; instead my body, mind, and soul felt different but I didn't feel any older.

Although I have to say I had become unrecognizable to those who knew me before i.e. my family. My hair had grown nearly as long as Riku's reaching down to my back which I tied into a ponytail; my face became a slate that showed no emotion but calm calculative serenity. My eyes were no longer light brown they were now a polished dark mahogany. My entire body was muscular down to the last fiber it was that of an athletic physique.

My outfit had changed as well I no longer wore a simple class uniform when I got here I discarded it and modeled my new outfit after my ancestor Jin. A pair of tan pants that clung tightly to my waist but dangled loosely when it reached my ankles, they had the style of jeans and the comfort of sweatpants. I wore a black long sleeved shirt that possessed a white torso design that left a black stripe in the middle it hugged my muscular form but allowed me to breathe easy, and lastly a pair of sandals flimsy sandals but hey they were comfortable.

My intelligence exceeded that of a super genius I was now able to think on levels that I thought were nonexistent. My soul was now strong and unwavering thanks to masters Ermac, Quan Chi, Shang Tsung, and Shao khan. I was now ready to take on anyone who dare challenge me disciple or master class fighters however I decided to limit my power with a particular piece of technology that was given to me by my ancestor Jin.

It was an armor that was worn by a friend of his known as Kouga Amagi. When he showed it to me for the first time it was nothing more than an image but thanks to my new found intelligence and the technology provided by my masters Sektor and Cyrax along with the science department of Tekunin clan I was not only able to construct this armor but succeed its original design. I also constructed a very powerful and deadly suit named Sogaizai Gantoretto it acts as an inhibitor for my true abilities; this suit allows me to adjust my body's fighting level to that of my opponent so I won't destroy him or her. Also the Kouga armor as I call it; has super computer that can compete with the Tekunin Warship's computer allowing me to store info into it, contact my friends, and a lot of other things. The best part about this armor is that it's very compact when I put the wing sunglasses on my eyes it becomes my full armor and when I take them off they go back into the glasses.

I kept looking at myself in the mirror and I just couldn't believe how much I changed. I mean just wow I was a million times stronger and a billion times wiser. Now I had power and I could make a difference in the world. However there was a change I didn't really expect or should I say counted on the powerful primal instincts that have become a part of me I mean these instincts made everything about me so different and yet I wouldn't show it. I put my hand out and focused as I summoned my keyblade Akegeta.

It appeared in a flash and when it did I got a real good look at it. It was a very intricate blade; the colors the blade consisted of was blue, yellow, black, and white, the tip of the hilt had a chain attached to it with a little sharp triangle shaped container hanging on the edge. The hilt was cylindrical and had been a median for the broken square that was attached to it by the top tip of the hilt also in the middle of the square was another crown. On the bottom of the hilt was a little clamp like device that kept the two crowns that didn't even budge. The blade itself was hollowed out as blue lines outlined the innards of it. At the bottom of the blade was heart with two pointed blade tips on its side. I followed up the straight path of the blade as it lead me to two connected hearts that had four pointed blade tips on the bottom of the hearts.

I focused my Ki into the blade and just like how it appeared it flashed but instead of disappearing it became a normal katana however the colors of its original form didn't fade. The Tsuka bared a crisscross pattern of black, blue, and yellow in that specific order. The Tsuba was the same variation of color as the Tsuka the sides were black and yellow while leaving a pillar of blue to divide the two colors. The Saya was pure white to the point where it could compete with snow or a cloud. I drew the sword and it too was as white as its container. I had to admit this was a beautiful katana in truth it wasn't my only one. For as I was trained by the keyblade masters in ways to wield the keyblade I had discovered through the help of master Shang Tsung and Ermac other masters of the art of the sword. So I squeezed their training in with the other sword masters and with time and effort I was able to create my own sword style which allowed me to wield four swords at once. However I would never told my friends however I believe they suspect my style. I sheathed my katana and sat down on my bed I placed it next to me running my hand through my hair letting out a troubling sigh.

(A/N: The Tsuba and Tsuka are the names for the handle and the guard. The Saya is the scabbard i.e. it's container.)

"You seemed troubled Kenichi-kun." I looked up to see master Mileena in all of her glory she would always find her way to me and shower me with her infatuation.

"Nothing is troubling me master I was merely contemplating."

"Are you really trying to hide something from me?" She made her way to me, turned around, and sat on my lap she grabbed my hands and placed them around her waist as she got comfortable. I tightened my grip around her and inhaled her scent; damn she smelled nice which made me get a little excited.

"Okay now what's the matter?"

"Well I was just thinking that about the future that's all."

"You need not worry about the future Kenichi remember what we always told you Kenichi."

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift that is why they call it the present."

"Exactly so ease your mind my disciple, plus your final test isn't for another couple of hours. This gives me time to give you my gift to you."

"Really what would that be?" she turned around on a dime and looked me square in the face as we fell down on the bed.

"What do you think?" She kissed me pulling me into a state of bliss as we did many things on the bed that wouldn't leave this room. Before I knew it two hours had passed and it was now time for my final test to see if my all of training was for nothing. I was in the main chamber and there master Shao Khan sat on this thrown as he looked at me with the utter seriousness on his masked face.

"Kenichi are you ready?"

"Yes I am master Shao Khan."

"Shirahama Kenichi for your final test you must escape fight your way up from the bottom of Shinnok's spire then you will be transported to my coliseum where your true final test will await you."

Shisho Shao Khan snapped his fingers and a portal appeared beside him and I steadily walked up to it preparing myself for what lied ahead. As I stepped into the portal I was immediately placed at the lowest level of Master Shinnok's spire I looked around confirming my assumption with the red sky and fire that could be seen out the windows to the stench of blood and demon breath as they approached me from behind I turned around and immediately took my stance as I prepared myself to face my final test.
