Narora (Hyper Sourupowa training!) (Closed: Narora)

Narora walked into his training field. Today was the day. He was going to train his ass off and grow a lot stronger.

How?

A new exercise Kami had let him know about. It was very advanced for him though. It was ranked about Mid to High-General Class in training. What was it on?

Sourupowa.

Sure, his other abilities could go up as well, but they were already advanced for his group. Most Mid-Captains were near the lower marks. When graded, his strengths were shown to be over a 10, proficient in his Rank. Any ranked 9 or 10, were normal, and anybody with a rank of 8, well, they were below average.

But, besides that, today, he began his real training.

He quickly set up the materials, training dummies. But not just any training dummies, these ones could be injected with Sourupowa to animate them. Another advantage, or disadvantage, depending on how you looked at it, was it constantly needed a steady flow to stay animated.

This would help greatly with his control, as he was moving, dodging, and attacking them, he would need to also: Keep track of his Sourupowa to his muscles, give a steady flow to the dummies, and should the need arise; stand on a vertical surface.

All of this combined would be a great work out, problem was... most High-General Ranked had problems with it, because it demanded so much.

But he was determined, he would not give up. It was up to him to protect Heaven.

And with that thought in mind, he activated one. Only one, so he could get used to it. No point in going all out from the beginning, and not having a clue as to what the Dummy would do, and to how much to give it constantly.

The Dummy began to move, materializing a Sourusodo from the air, a blank one he guessed so it could hold up to Kyuketsuki's attacks, and watched it charge him.

He felt the drain. Before when it first came to life, it didn't take much, but now that it was moving and using up more Sourupowa faster, it was quite a huge drain. He about fell to his knees at the sudden constant pull, but pushed it to the back of his mind and dodged its swing.

He landed not to far away, pulled out his own Sourusodo, and blocked it's next attack. He felt the force, and could confidently say, it about matched his. He felt the drain spike as the Dummy jumped away from him and fired a blast of Sourupowa at him. Narora cursed, not expecting it from a Dummy, and jumped onto a tree, focusing on all two or three functions of his Sourupowa at once.

Sticking to the tree, and keeping the Dummy moving. He could easily stop one from happening, but did not. He wanted to get the most from this training. So he quickly dodged the Dummy's strike and jumped to another tree, standing upside down on the branch and running to the edge.

The Dummy jumped after him, and he felt the slight pull on a bit more Sourupowa, as it stood on the tree as well. It looked like the dummy could do anything he could... Not good... Or... Not bad? He wasn't sure.

Anyhow, he started hopping from branches, twisting and blocking a strike from the Dummy when it caught up to him, then kicking away and getting a bit of distance, before the Dummy would come back again.

After the 5^th time, he began to grow tired of it, and let himself fall to the ground, back first as he weaved, and blocked the Dummy's strikes. As he hit the ground, he quickly activated his Niban, and took off to the clearing.

He felt like he was doing good so far, so he activated another Dummy...

Bad choice... Now he had two of them, the drain was twice as large, and he had twice as many attacks after him.

He stopped running, knowing it was doing more harm than good, and faced them. As the first one on his left struck, he blocked it with Kyuketsuki, but when the other kicked his ribs, he slid back on his feet and grunted. His Sanban flared to life as he stood ready. He was panting hard now, and they were only about half an hour through the training.

"Damn... This is... tuff(Tough?)..." he panted. "I knew it would be hard, but not this hard..." He dodged another strike from Dummy 1, and blocked the one from Dummy 2. As he saw Dummy 1 sneaking up on him while he had a power struggle with Dummy 2, he flared his Sourupowa, and jumped upward, the extra power from the gate making his muscles stronger than normal.

As he flipped over Dummy 2, he began to run again, hopping from trees, rocks, anything at all. He landed in the clearing, pausing the Dummys as he placed his hands on his knees and panted hard. He grunted, straightened his back, and tore the remains of his shirt off. It was now cut into strips due to the Dummy's assaults.

He tossed it to the ground, and took a stance again, his Yonban flaring to life. He made another Dummy come to life, making the odds 3-to-1. He smirked as he dodged Dummy 2's strike, and kicked off of Dummy 3's chest when it appeared in the air in front of him.

While upside down, he blocked Dummy 1's strike and brought his leg down on the Dummy's head, making it crash to the ground. He landed and looked at all three. They were all in front of him and he grinned.

"Time to break you guys..." He spoke, voice slightly panicked as he thought of loosing to them. But he pushed it aside. Doubt would only weaken him. He grunted, and with great force and will, his Goban bursted from his body, and he let out a mighty war cry.

He looked back down at them, a Dark-silver aura around his body. He took a stance, he was still panting, but not as hard. Now he could fight them all.

As they all came at him, he adjusted his Sourupowa levels, and made each Dummy stronger than the last. 3 was stronger than 2, and 2 was stronger than 1. 1 was the weakest. The drain on his Sourupowa was still the same, but now, he wouldn't know which was stronger, or weaker.

He jumped above one of the Dummy's swings, and landed on its head, sending it to the ground, He blocked a strike from another at his right side, and quickly moved out of the way of the third's strike from the left, removing his sword from their path, and had them each clash blades with each other.

After that, he brought his leg around and kicked them both to the side, his now left as he faced them. When they landed, he gave a powerful kick to the first Dummy's back, and sent him to the ground. He hefted Kyuketsuki into the air and smiled, now panting again like he was not to long ago.

"C'mon... you guys... are better... than that..." He sighed. They all stood up, facing him again. IT was like they didn't feel pain. LIke... oh wait... they couldn't... they're Dummy's.

He laughed at his own joke, and jumped into the trees again. Now holding his ground on one branch, as the three Dummies took up position around him, be it on other branches or the same as him. As they, as one, charged him. he ducked under all of their strikes, did a small hand stand while under them, and kicked them all away as he spun around, legs out horizontally.

He swung around the branch a few times like a Gymnast, and landed on it again, smiling. The Goban felt great to use in a fight! It was like he was super human! And this was only halfway through the gates!!!

He smiled to himself again. He loved being an Angel. He lifted his arm, and made a 'come at me' motion with his hands to the Dummies, who replied by charing him again.

He jumped high, making another Dummy become Animated, and placed his feet on the tree trunk he was standing on. He kicked off of it and back to the clearing, where only one Dummy remained before becoming active. He landed and twisted around, his Sourusodo becoming covered in silver flames.

As he turned, he yelled out the name of the attack, "Getsuga Sendou!!" the attack screaming toward the four Dummies. They all saw it, and dodged, but one lost his Sourusodo in the wave of Sourupowa, destroying it.

So it landed and improvized... by picking up a stick...

He sweat dropped and could have sworn the other Dummies did too. It was actually quite funny as the Dummy with as stick dropped it and took a Hand-to-Hand stance. All the other Dummies, plus Narora, nodded and they continued with the fight.

(Fight will continue in next post, please grade this one before I post the next ^^)

(Such lies Azmot XD)

As the Dummy 1 Charged him, Narora made a jump for a tree branch above him, as he placed his foot on it, Dummy 2 and 3 appeared by his sides, also in the air, and tried to cut him. The boy, with a grunt, kicked off of the Tree Branch he had yet to land on, and planted his feet on another tree, sticking to it with his previous Sourupowa Training.

He lifted his hand up, the one with Kyuketsuki was at his side, and blocked Dummy 4's punch to the face. He was unable to stop the kick however, and it sent him flying up past the tree, and into the open air above the forest.

He floated for a few moments, letting gravity take over slowly, and began to fall. Now his body was streamlined, falling faster and faster. As he cleared the top of the Forest roof, he reared his fist back, and let it fly at Dummy 4.

Said Dummy brought up it's hands to stop it, but about broke as a large crater was created, about 32 feet in diameter. Narora brought his body down, as it was still vertical before, and swung his foot at the Dummy, kicking it away from him and at the same time, kicking backward off of it.

While upside down, he blocked Dummy 2's slash with his blade, and activated the 5^th, and final Dummy.

He pushed off of Dummy 2, and jumped away into the clearing where he started. All of the Dummies surrounded him in a circle. He smirked and held up Kyuketsuki, now panting very hard. "Damn... You guys are... no pushover..." He said through his pants.

"But then again... Neither am I!" he called and charged at Dummy 3. He clashed with it, and stopped Dummy 4's punch to the head with his forearm at his right. When Dummy 5, the strongest of them all, appeared with a silver wave of Sourupowa, he growled and jumped away as it struck where he was.

He landed with grace, coming to a stop at the base of a tree. As Dummy 1 charged him, He decided to end the games, and fired a Getsuga Sendou at it, blowing it to pieces.

Next, Dummy 3 was on him, forcing him to jump into the air, and kick off the tree from behind him. While in the air, he fired a blast of Sourupowa at the Dummy, but it proved smarter than Dummy 1 and jumped to the side.

Narora didn't watch as Dummy 4 and 5 appeared on his sides and kicked him to the ground. As he landed, Dust was thrown into the air, obscuring view.

The Dummies waited, watching. The flow of Sourupowa hadn't ended, so Narora was alive, but nothing was happening.

Then, one of the Dummies, Dummy 2, had it's head fly off its shoulders and explode, making the main body explode.

The remaining three Dummies, 3, 4, and 5, turned to look at Narora, but his Sourupowa Aura around him from the 5^th gate wasn't silver, it was black. He turned, and his eyes were small. The actual eyes were wide, but the iris and pupil were shrunken down to the size of a pencil eraser.

He let out an insane laugh, and charged again. He approached Dummy 3, and effortlessly dodged its swing, and punched a hole through its body, forcing it to explode.

He twisted his head to the side, a sickening crack heard as it dodged Dummy 4's kick. As it flew forward, time seemed to slow as Narora turned its head slightly, and moved its eyes around to it, letting out a small, coughed laugh.

He grabbed it's foot, and smashed it into the tree next to him, but it did not blow. It held, and twisted it's body against the tree. As it turned fully, it launched a kick at Narora's head, but missed as he leaned his head back with another crack, and sent his own kick at the Dummy's head, kicking it from it's shoulders and making it explode as well.

Dummy 5, stood there. It was the strongest, and by far, the smartest. It held back as the others attacked. When Narora turned to face it, it held it's ground.

Narora grinned evilly and charged, an inhuman roar coming from the back of his throat. It clashed with the Dummy, and sent it flying. As it landed, the boy was already on it's tail, and sent a black Getsuga Sendou at it.

When it failed to move, it's left arm was removed. It landed, unbalanced, but held firm and kept his Right arm out with the Blank Sourusodo in it.

As Narora appeared again, it swiftly cut off it's other arm, leaving it only with legs. But it seemed to only slow the Dummy down, because it was able to land a solid kick to Narora's face, sending him toward a tree in the air.

But, Narora in his insane, but powered up state, twisted and jumped off of the tree, and flew at the Dummy. As he passed it, the Dummy saw a flash of light, and exploded.

Narora landed, and let out a laugh, but it was at that point the Goban lost all of it's power and the Darkness went with it, giving Narora back his control. The boy fell to his hands and knees, eyes wide as sweat dropped off of him and onto the grass.

"What... the... fuck...?" He panted as he rested. He mentally checked his Sourupowa reserve, on instinct, and found they had grown stronger... Even when he was controlled by the Darkness, he was still growing stronger?

Well... not really a bad thing. And that was what he last thought, as he fell to the ground out cold from his training.

I'm not going to write down the criteria. You passed them perfectly, lest word count. You get...

770 Sourpowa. Live with it. I gave you an extra 25 so you'll hit even.
