DIMENSIONAL TOURNAMENT SAGA
EP.19 TRAINING
Charge punched in the air. He kicked upward and punched again. Charge sat down on a bench behind him and wiped he sweat off his face. He wondered if he was ready, he knew that in order to win he had to reach the next level just as Shock did, but how. As it would seem the anger inside Shock brought upon an instinct for him to burst through the barrier between levels. Charge thought and then began to do something that he’d never done. His arms tensed, his power increased and he transformed. He rose his strength as far as it could go and then he started to go farther until his power reached its limit, Charge was still trying to power up and he couldn’t go any farther. Charge powered down and yelled in anger.
CD3 was back in the demon lands and he was also training. He was trying to master a technique that he’d been trying to figure out for some time, the hell’s blade technique. In his absence from the regular S.S.F. he went to the demon lands and started a west division containing five members. The leader of the diamond peoples, Ripper 1, the cybersuit (a powerful armor that boosts its user’s power) Guho, her husband Multi, and Yonclearo’s son Vapint. Charge approved a long time ago for there to be a west division and they were helping CD3 train.
The cloaked figure that informed the trio of the tournament was walking toward a pub in the jungle and walked past fights and death there to approach a velociraptor who wore Celtic armor and a Celtic sword. The velociraptor asked, “What do you want?” The figure said, “You are invited to fight in a tournament in five days. Do you accept?” The raptor seemed interested, “What kind of tournament?” A small amount of laughter came from the hooded figure. The raptor just stared.
Shock was in his second transformed state and was blasting into midair new techniques that he was finding out he could do and combining them with those of which he developed before transforming. Shock thought that this form was now necessary in order to fight in the tournament. He was wondering how to explain to Charge something that he assumes involves the tournament Shock reverted back to his original state and walked inside the base and headed up an elevator. He reached the second floor where Charge’s room was located and knocked on the door. Charge answered and asked what it is, “Shock, what is it that brings you here?” Shock walked in, sat down and said, “I believe that there’s something weird about this tournament. Look, we finish a huge battle, practically a war and then we’re asked to fight in a tournament? I think that this is just too much.” Charge said, “I figured that out a while ago, there’s something behind the tournament that we don’t know about.” Shock asked, “Like what?” Charge answered, “I don’t know, gathering the strongest fighters in several dimensions in one place, you’d have to be senile not to think that there’s something weird about this.”
Charge continued, “I believe that we need to keep on our toes, we’re not amateurs. If you or CD3 spot something I want it reported to me. Just because…” Shock interrupted, “I’m more powerful than you that doesn’t change my rank. I respect that; I’m more disciplined than I was years ago. Marcileaya changed me. It was horrible, I never once could get around the fact that I was without my child but I did gain something.” Shock walked out of the room and led Charge to his room. Once inside he pulled out a box from under his bed and said, “I too have a legendary weapon, the Marcileaya sword.” Shock opened the box and inside was a large gleaming sword almost as long as Shock was tall and he pulled out armor that was in a box next to the sword. Charge asked, “How long were you planning on keeping this a secret?” Shock said, “I don’t know but the point of the matter is, we need these now no matter what happens, we are a team. We work together.” Charge said, “Yes, if we are to defeat whatever is doing this we need to act as if we know nothing and be silent about everything we do unless we want something bad to happen. We need to be cautious of everything around us, trust nothing.”
CD3 said, “Yes, We need to be very careful of every move we make.” Charge and Shock were surprised that CD3 snuk upon them so easily. CD3 said, “We are a team and I propose a pact, we don’t die and we do not let any of us die as well.” He held his long arm out and Charge and Shock held theirs to his and then all three pulled their hands back and Charge said, “Very well then, should we train together?” Shock and CD3 nodded their heads and the three proceeded to walk outside for training when they were approached by the cloaked figure. CD3 said, “What is it, the tournament isn’t for…” The figure said, “I have chosen the fourth person to accompany you in the tournament. He’s waiting for you in Starlight City, I imagine that you won’t expect to know who he is. He is not a part of your force so if you want to be a “team” make him your “teammate” for he is a great warrior. He’s waiting by the statue of Richard Owen, be there at ten tonight.”
The figure disappeared and CD3 said, “I thought I had dark problems but obviously not anywhere near the crap this dude has.” Shock said, “I doubt we can trust him either.” Charge said, “We have five hours so does anyone have any suggestions?” CD3 said, “I need some food and a nap.” Shock asked, “Food?” CD3 explained, “I am half organic to help my body function in an organic manor. I get food or nutrients pumped into my vein apparatus three times a day.” Shock was still confused.
At ten the trio arrived at the statue and looked around and saw no one. CD3 pointed and saw something and said, “You, step out of the shadows!” The velociraptor walked into the open and Charge and Shock both were confused wildly. Charge asked, “R-Raptor?” The velociraptor just stood grinning.
