(Ever since Cloak was a kid, he's wanted to be a famous swordsman. He would watch cartoons of ninjas fighting with swords and wanted to be one of them. It was a dream his father never encouraged nor anything he did. His father was a butcher and didn't believe cores should exist. He thought all of it was too much for this world. Anytime his father would catch him practicing for his core, he would beat him...mercilessly. To get your core, you must meditate and do many different practices. People have made books and websites on all the different ways you can get it. Some are easier, some are harder, some faster, some slower, but Cloak never cared. He just wanted one to help him be a better swordsman. He would take his father's butcher knives and pretend those were swords, and if he was caught, he'd get beat. His mother and father were divorced when Cloak was only four. His mom took his sister and his dad got him. After the divorse, his dad started to drink. He took his anger out on Cloak, but Cloak never seemed to care about the yelling, but the beating was another story. No matter what happened though, Cloak always followed his dream of being the best swordsman. If his dad didn't stop him, Reo won't stop him.)
Cloak: "Die damn it!"
Reo: "Never!"
(Cloak and Reo were slashing swords at each other, clanging the blades together. Reo's heart was in tons of pain, but if he slowed down, that blade would cause even more pain. Kazu was watching from across the street. He was watching the battle from a distance. He could easily teleport Cloak to jail if things get too out of hand. He knows Reo likes to fight on his own without help, so Kazu will let him do so till it gets too crazy. While Kazu waited he played games on his phone. Kazu had a few games about him, so he likes to play a few of those once in awhile. 'Portal jump' has to be his all time favorite. You just kind of jump through portals to get to the next level. It's pretty simple, but Kazu loves it. Mostly because he's good at it. Most heroes have games and movies all about them. It's mostly bigger heroes though. Like him, Mr. Clone, Captain Amazing, and others. Kazu has gotten to work with those two before. They are fairly powerful, but when it comes to the end, Kazu believes he would win in a fight.)
Kazu: *sigh* "Reo, win this please. I don't wanna deal with your crap if I have to save the day."
(Kazu knew exactly what Reo would do if Kazu saved him. Reo would yell and yell and yell about how he had it and Kazu got in his way. Reo would say how he was so close to winning the fight, and Kazu should've given him a minute. Kazu made a tiny portal and put his hand in it. He grabbed a soda and started to drink it. Just a little something to pass the time. Reo was still clanging swords with Cloak. Reo's sword was really damaged from the fight and Cloak's sword wasn't any better. Reo didn't know what would last longer, his sword or him. He needed to think of a plan before his sword broke or he passed out from the pain of his core. Reo didn't even think about his own core killing him. It is a possibility, but he had no time to think about that. Apparently Kazu can't help him in the fight due to the Cloak having a power type core. Kazu probably could take this guy out with his portals easily though, but Reo doesn't want Kazu getting all the credit. This is Reo's fight, and he'll get the money for the catch. He had to do something, and he thinks he has an idea. Reo jumped back for a second and stopped swinging.)
Reo: "Hey Cloak, so what's with the long hair? Do you not have money for a barber shop or do you just not know where to go?"
Cloak: "I will not be mocked by some garbage swordsman. This is just some excuse to get a break from swinging! Now come here and finish this fight."
(Cloak charged at him with his sword, but Reo jumped out of the way. It hurts to even dodge attacks now, but it's better than swinging the sword forever.)
