The Will of Fire

20...Family Bonds Severed

*Streets of Kujaku*
"Alright children, everyone follow me in an orderly fashion! Straight line, remain calm!" a male voice said.
This was Pakun Namikaze, a teacher at Kujaku Academy who taught seventh grade. About twenty students were being walked in a straight line by Pakun, being escorted out of the academy and to a safer place. But students did not know the reason. Within this group was Koshinmaru, who was annoyed by not being able to see the tournament due to school, and then being disrupted by the evacuation.
"Mr. Namikaze, where are you taking us?" Koshinmaru asked. "This is a drag!"
"This is uh..a slight drill! This is just practice in case of an emergency. Keep quiet, Koshinmaru!" Pakun responded.
Pakun knew he couldn't reveal why to the students. It would freak them out completely, and with Koshinmaru being the marital nephew of King Tskune and biological nephew of Kokoro, it would worry him to know that his aunt and uncle were against eachother. Pakun thought of when another teacher at the academy had pulled him out of the room earlier in the day to notify him of what was going on, and that Kujaku and Japan as whole were in distress. Keeping calm and level headed is the teachers jobs. Never frighten the children.
"It's okay, Koshinmaru. At least this takes us out of class!" said a kid girl behind Koshinmaru.
"Yeah, that's true" Koshinmaru responded. "Still, I'd rather be watching the tournament! One day, I'll join that tournament and win!"
"Koshinmaru! Sarai! Be quiet!" Pakun said with a finger to his lips, signaling to be quiet.
Koshinmaru pouted and kicked a rock while walking. Koshinmaru was startled by something in the sky. A quick jolt of lightning shot from the sky in the distance, followed by rumbling thunder. He stared in amazement.
"A lightning bolt." He said slowly.
"Maybe it's going to rain soon" said Sarai. "I hope we get to the shelter soon, I can't handle my hair getting wet!"
Koshinmaru, walking and still looking at the sky, shook his head.
"No. My uncle King Tskune always told me that when a single jolt of lightning falls from the sky, it means he's in combat. What the heck is going on..." he said.
"He's right, the entire sky would've flashed if it were about to rain." interrupted a boy in the line, who was placed behind Sarai.
"You saw that too, Iwabe?" Koshinmaru asked.
Iwabe nodded his head.
"This is a serious matter you three, be quiet!" said Pakun.
"If it's such a big deal, why did you say it's just a drill!?" Koshinmaru snapped at Pakun.
"Because in drills we act accordingly to how we would in the actual event of an evacuation, you pest! Quiet down!" Pakun yelled back, as Koshinmaru rolled his eyes.
"In actuality, this is no drill at all...I just don't what any invaders to hear us" Pakun thought to himself. "I can't have twenty kids in danger. I pray we get to the shelter safely. If not, I'll have to fight alone..."

*Imperial Rooftop*
King Tskune's lightning had struck him and formed sparks around him. Kuan walked in front of Kang, Kokoro and Orihime.
"Allow me" he said. "I'll bring him to his knees right here in front of you, King Kang. Please, no one interfere."
"As you wish." Kang said while snickering.
"Sir, let me-"
"No, Jin'ichi" King Tskune interrupted. "A one on one is what he wants. If I need you, I will let you know. Let me take this miserable sorcerer down."
There, King Tskune stood across from Kuan.
"This won't be easy, foolish sorcerer." King Tskune said.
"Of course not" responded Kuan. "I'm glad you know I don't give in easily."
Quickly, King Tskune ran at Kuan, as Kuan ran at him. King Tskune formed thin disc like lightning bolts and repeatedly threw them at Kuan.
"A stupid attack like Lightning Disc Attack won't work!" Kuan shouted, jumping in the air, dodging the discs.
"Striking Majestic Dragon!" Kuan shouted from the air.
An eerie, smoky, green dragon flew from the sleeve of Kuan's garb. It swirled around, body long like a serpent. It then flew directly at King Tskune, biting and latching onto his shoulder blade.
"My lord, are you alright!?" Jin'ichi shouted.
"What a pity, your reflexes have become bad over the years!" Kuan laughed, as he landed on the ground. Suddenly, King Tskune disappeared in a shocking flash of lightning in the blink of an eye. This had caused the dragon to fade away. Kuan didn't even get the chance to register what had happened, because he was quickly struck in the side by a heavy punch.
"Damn you, Tskune!" Kang shouted from a distance.
"He used the Quick Flash of Emergence! Good work!" Jin'ichi said.
"Shocking Push!" King Tskune yelled, pushing Kuan with one hand.
Lightning from his hand blasted Kuan back a distance.
"Time for the follow up!" King Tskune shouted. "Metal Coat Stream!"
From his hands, King Tskune released a stream of what looked like silver water. The liquid shot at Kuan and collided with him as he still flew back from the Shocking Push. The silver liquid coated Kuan as he hit the ground.
"I'm not done!" King Tskune shouted.
King Tskune stomped the ground once with force. Lightning jolted on a zig zagging fashion along the rooftop from his foot. The lightning reached Kuan and shocked him severely.
"Incredible! He combined a Metal Type attack with an Lightning Type attack!" Jin'ichi said. "By covering Kuan with the liquid metal, the lightning attracted to him more, causing the lightning to be more effective! Brilliant!"
Kuan screamed in agony, as the lightning still shocked him.
"Damn it!" Kang thought to himself. "As long as he's covered in that metal liquid, he'll continuously be shocked. His internal organs can become fried right along with his skin. Damn you, Tskune. When did you learn a secondary Type?"
"Kokoro! Orihime! Kuan is down now, that attack was too severe! It's time you two step in!" Kang shouted.
"Yes, my lord!" Kokoro and Orihime said in unison.
Kokoro ran to left as Orihime ran to the right.
"My lord! Do not be confused! Hold nothing back on those two! They will kill you if they find an opening!" Jin'ichi shouted.
"I'm aware, Jin'ichi!" replied King Tskune.
He watched as Kokoro and Orihime closed in on him from each side. Suddenly, Orihime stopped running and from a swipe of her hand, she shot a gust of wind which slammed into King Tskune. Bringing his weight to his feet to avoid being blown away from the gust with his arms covering his face in front of him. During this, Kokoro closed in and strikes at King Tskune with a kick to the face, but was blocked by King Tskune's arms. She then began kicking wildly from different angles, causing King Tskune to dodge swiftly. He tripped her after dodging with a sweep kick. This knocked her off of her feet, and King Tskune followed with a heavy punch to her chest, knocking her back far. Orihime rushed in, delivering chops and palm strikes. King Tskune blocked every attack, but then was quickly thrown off when Orihime jumped and did a spin kick towards his head. Quickly, he ducked down and caught her leg and began spinning around. He then let go after seconds, throwing her. Orihime countered the momentum of the throw by channeling wind beneath her, allowing her to gently land on her feet. She stood next to Kokoro, who took out two Bladed Tessen fans from her bosom.
"Now the battle truly begins" King Tskune thought to himself. "I know how strong of a Kunoichi Orihime and Kokoro are. Together, they serve dangerous. They're good enough to even kill me if I let my guard down. Not ever did I think I'd live to see them battle side by side, especially against me."
Kokoro opened both Bladed Tessen, revealing it's gold color and golden bladed tips. King Tskune shot the metal liquid from both hands.
"Funneling Winds!" Orihime shouted, as a funnel of spinning wind formed in front of her from the rising of her hand.
The liquid metal collided with the funnel of wind, which scattered and separated the liquid metal. It flew off of the rooftop as the wind funnel kept spinning towards King Tskune, ripping the tiles from the rooftop.
"By the heavens, Orihime's wind abilities are as strong as I remember!" King Tskune thought to himself. "I can't use lightning against it, it'll just absorb it. It's growing larger as it approaches me. I have to think of something!"
Suddenly Jin'ichi jumped in front of King Tskune.
"Do not worry, my lord. I'll cease her winds." he said.
Jin'ichi shape shifted into a large stone wall. The wind funnel slammed into Jin'ichi. King Tskune felt the force of the wind from behind Jin'ichi. After seconds, the funnel faded, which put a bad taste in Kang's mouth.
"Tessen Dance!" Kokoro shouted.
She threw both Bladed Tessen at Jin'ichi.
"No matter how strong I am in this form, the sacred Golden Bladed Tessen will still do damage to my body!" Jin'ichi said. The Bladed Tessen flew around the wall of Jin'ichi, slicing at many different angles. King Tskune could hear the grunting of Jin'ichi. The assault lasted a total of fifteen seconds before the Bladed Tessen retreated back to Kokoro. Jin'ichi returned back to his normal primate body. His clothes had rips and tears in them. His arms were cut and bleeding, along with his body.
"Jin'ichi, are you alright?" King Tskune asked.
"Yes, my lord" he responded. "I will do anything to protect you."
"What a pity, you for sure would've died in your normal form when that attack hit." Kang scolded. "Kokoro! Orihime! Quit wasting time and finish them!"
Kokoro whispered something to Orihime, who responded with a head nod. Kokoro quickly jumped into the air, back flipping. Orihime released wind under Kokoro, and upon landing, Kokoro surfed the wind towards King Tskune and Jin'ichi. Jin'ichi shape shifted into a cannon, and started firing balls of flame. Kokoro blocked every flame with her Bladed Tessen. Kokoro hopped off of the wind current and directly in front of Jin'ichi who turned back into his normal form. Kokoro then quickly delivered a diving kick from the air onto Jin'ichi's blocking arms. Orihime quickly rushed in and swatted her arm, delivering a gust of wind to Jin'ichi's face, disorienting him momentarily. King Tskune drew his fist back and swung it forward for a punch to Orihime, but Orihime quickly intercepted with an attack called Airpalm, a shot of forceful wind from the user's palm. This hit King Tskune directly in the face, causing him to stagger back. She then twirled quickly, allowing her hair to release a wind that lashes like a whip. The lashing wind stung Tskune's face and neck. She followed with a double Airpalm to King Tskune's chest, blasting him back far. Kokoro capitalized off of the disoriented Jin'ichi and delivered two kicks to his face, one on each side. Followed by a curving downward slice from her Bladed Tessen, cutting Jin'ichi's face. She then turned quickly, facing her back to him. She then executed a rear hip strike of pure force, knocking Jin'ichi back hard. Jin'ichi screamed and went soaring, landing next to King Tskune. Kang laughed maniacally. Kuan finally got up from the ground, burned from the lightning from before. He began walking towards Kang.
"Nice of you to finally join, Kuan" Kang said sarcastically. "The women are doing a better job than you."
Kuan's face, full of sorrow.
"Forgive me, King Kang. But make no mistake, for I am also a king of my country, Vietnam. I have fight left in me." he said.
Kang leaned and whispered in Kuan's ear.
"You better. Or the deal is off, and I will see that your beloved country falls under my rule as well. Remember your purpose."
King Tskune and Jin'ichi​ stood from the ground.
"They're...quick. And as strong as ever." Jin'ichi said.
"For sure, Jin'ichi. We mustn't fall to them. I think it's time you shifted into the ultimate weapon." King Tskune said, breathing heavily.
Jin'ichi, breathing labored as well agreed.
"I warn you, once I transform into this, I will be close to no power energy left. Close combat will be all I can do." Said Jin'ichi.
"I understand. Worry not, this will be the last move we make. This will be the trump card. This will slay them!" Shouted King Tskune.
"No matter what you two do, you will both die here!" Kang said laughing.
"Shut your mouth!" Jin'ichi screamed.
"Quickly, Jin'ichi! Blades of Jade transformation!" King Tskune shouted.
"No! Stop that damned ape, now! Do not let him transform into that!" Kang demanded.
Kokoro, Orihime and Kuan went rushing towards King Tskune and Jin'ichi. Kuan first, drew his hand back which glowed a smoky green.
"I'll break your neck with this! Demonic Pointed Strike!" Kuan yelled.
Before Kuan could even attempt to swing his arm to strike with the Demonic Pointed Strike, King Tskune intercepted with a downward hammer strike from his shocking fist.
"Rai Hammer!" he shouted.
The hit connected to the top of Kuan's head, sending him down face first through the rooftop. His screams faded as he fell through the air and got closer to the ground. The thud from him hitting the ground beneath them echoed the air. This angered Kang indefinitely. Orihime delivered Airpalms as Jin'ichi dodged them. She jumed and attempted to deliver one from above. Jin'ichi then stood on his hands upside down and popped up into the air, planting both feet into Orhime's stomach. She gasped from the kick. Kokoro rushed in, rolling in a tucked ball through the air at Jin'ichi, Bladed Tessen flying around her quickly. King Tskune threw one single lightning disc which shocked her in midair, uncoiling her from her ball she was tucked in, and causing her Bladed Tessen to fall to the ground. She screamed in pain.
"No! She let her guard down with him!" Kang shouted.
King Tskune then jumped into the air in front of Kokoro. He flipped forward, driving both heels of his feet to Kokoro's head, sending her screaming and an slamming down into the rooftop on her face. Jin'ichi, midair, turned upright again and grabbed Orihime by the waist, digging his ape nails into her. He then turned backwards, putting her on top of him.
"Uzumaku Saru!" Jin'ichi yelled.
Jin'ichi turned upside down and began spinning at incredible speed while spiraling down with Orihime head first.
"One of his strongest attacks!" Kang shouted. "The damned Uzumaku Saru!"
Uzumaku Saru means Spiraling Ape in Japanese. This attack is unique to Jin'ichi, only he has used this. After all, he created this attack. In the matter of seconds, a huge crash occurred upon the rooftop from this attack. Jin'ichi had slammed Orihime into the rooftop head first.

Dust and smoke went everywhere. A huge crater was left in the rooftop. Within, laid Orihime, not moving a muscle or making a single sound. Jin'ichi ran over to King Tskune and grabbed his wrists.
"Let's do this, my lord!" He shouted.
Suddenly a puff of smoke emerged from Jin'ichi and King Tskune. When the smoke cleared, there King Tskune stood. He held a chain in his hands, which had two jade green blades attached, one on each end. The chain was shackled to his wrists.
"At last!" King Tskune shouted as lightning struck him from the sky.
Kang grunted in aggravation.
"On your feet at once, Kokoro and Orihime!" he shouted.
Still, Kokoro and Orihime laid there unconscious.
"Damn you!" Kang yelled.
Kang reached in his back pocket, revealing wooden Nunchaku (Nunchuks). These Nunchaku were a shiny black and gold.
"The Adamantine Nunchaku, eh? I never thought I'd see you use those again." King Tskune said.
"Desperate measures, fool." Kang said.
The two kings stood apart from eachother, glaring with pure anger and hate for one another.
"You will die here!" They both screamed together.
