| Wantene awoke to the sound of Knifes training. He heard the punching of the tree and the tree came crashing down to the ground right in front of Wantene as he stood at the door. His hair was matted on one side from sleeping on it. He was still in his night clothes and had a cup of Jawa Coffee. He looked at Knifes. Knifes was sweating so much it was a mystery to Wantene why his clothes were not soaked with sweat.
�How long have you been training?� Wantene, in a half yawn, asked Knifes. Knifes replied, �All night. Can you feel my power? It�s increased a lot. There was truth in what he was saying. His power had increased 70% since Wantene last felt it. It was growing at an enormous rate. Knifes had now become his equal. Wantene did not like the sound of it either. He did not like the idea of becoming second rate to a boy. He would have to train even harder than the boy or he would become the second strongest fighter in the universe. �We will have to stop training because we need new equipment. I�ll go and get some of it right now, so you just stay here while I go buy the equipment. Wantene said suddenly one evening. Knifes looked at Wantene suspiciously. �We need better training equipment in order for you to move on with your training.� Wantene explained. He gained all of the money he had and went to the equipment store and bought some heavy duty equipment. He bought a 12� solid rock pole and some other stuff. He had used at least half of the money in just those things. When he got back he spent the rest of the day putting everything up and making some adjustments or modifications here and there. He had just got the pole in the ground when he noticed something peculiar happening to the ground. It was softer than usual. The pole sunk into the ground. He tried to pull it out, but it had sunk too far into the ground. �No! Now how am I supposed to train Knifes?!� Wantene said, half shouting. He began to try to pull the poll out of the ground. The poll was stuck; no something was pulling on it. Wantene watched in horror as the poll was beginning pulled at a faster pace and by the time knifes came out, to see what the commotion was about, it was almost all the way in the ground. �What is going on?� Knifes asked, watching the polls� progress. �Why aren�t you pulling on it for?� As he said this, the poll stopped moving and Wantene said, �Demons.� He muttered in one breathless moment. �There are Demons down there. They came from the well. They like to cause mischief and destruction of important material, it is what they do, besides eat humans.� �You go back inside and I�ll take care of them.� Wantene told Knifes. �No. I want to see your true power. I�ll stay out here and watch you.� Knifes said, suddenly interested, to Wantene. �Alright, but stay out of the way. I have a tendency to over do my self when I�m fighting.� Wantene said to Knifes. Wantene blew a hole in the ground and five gigantic Demons came crawling out. They were armed with clubs and rocks. Wantene was about to attack them when the ground started to shake. Out of the hole came a master Demon. It was armed with a gigantic sword. It screeched at the others, �Shaarrrla Sweesah Neffa!� (Destroy those who disturbed me, The Master Demon of Green Underground Passage!)(Roughly translated.) At hearing this all of the Demons attacked Wantene, who unsuspecting it, got the full force of the attack. He was thrown back behind Knifes. �I�ll handle them.� Knifes said as he charged the closest Demon. He pulled a sword out of no where and began to slash at the demon. �Demon Killer Slash!� he said. His sword turned white and his speed increased. With several flashes he had disposed of the Demons. He rushed back to Wantene and asked, �Are you alright? Wantene replied, �I�m ok, but you. How did you do all that? That Master Demon could have made mincemeat out of you.� Knifes told him that during his training he had encountered a High Master Demon and that he had made a deal with it. That if the Demons were to have left them alone that he would not hunt them, but if any should show them selves that he would destroy them. �Well then, you killed those demons, but can you handle me.� Wantene told Knifes, who had a puzzled look on his face. �What do you mean?� Knifes asked. Wantene said, �Haven�t you wondered how I was so strong? Well if you have here is the answer, you haven�t seen my true power, the power of an Ultra Demon. Your Father, Triasha, Reached a Hyper Demon, but I was always one step ahead of him.� Wantene said this and then told the boy to stand back. �Here is the true power of an Ultra Demon!� he shouted as he powered up and became an Ultra Demon. Knifes had never felt such evil. It was as though evil was his power. �H-How is your power possible. It defies all that has been proven about nature. There could never be this much evil in this world. How, how is it possible!?� shouted Knifes, asking him self how the evil power that Wantene was generating could be possible. Then he heard something, like a voice in the back of his head. It was saying, �It is possible because he is feeding off of his fear of you. He is terrified of your power and the threat you could cause him. His training is to making you lose your power not unlocking it, but the one thing he hadn�t thought of is what if during your training during that night you met up with a strong creature and beat it. Your power would increase drastically if you would just train on creatures instead of objects.� �Who are you?� Knifes asked, saying the words in his mind. �I�m your father Triasha. Kynoto, Rouin, and I will be there shortly to get you. We have come back to save you from this heathen of a soul. Just remember he is pure evil and your power could destroy him and he will do anything to prevent that. That includes killing you. Do nothing he tells you and don�t let him take you anywhere. We will be there in five minutes.� |
