As I start to summon my energy, I feel several energy signatures behind me. I look back and see 3 people behind Azura. Zen is one of the people. "Hey I remember that bitch! She threw me through a moon!" Zen yells as he points to the girl in the middle of the elder spirits. She teleports to him and throws a punch. I see Zen take the punch to the chest and get knocked back a few feet, but he doesn't fall back. "You do annoy me, Zen." The woman says as she teleports back to her spot. Azura coughs and I look to her. I notice everyone else is too. "Kai, let me introduce you to 2 people that will be helping you. Kai, meet Azazel and Dialgo." Azura says as they both smile. "We've heard quite a bit about you." Azazel says as he summons a black sword. "I would love to fight you, but currently I have convince those guys to let us train." Azazel says as he points his sword toward the elder spirits. Suddenly a overwhelming energy flows last all of us. I barely keep standing. I notice the same is true for Zen as well, but everyone else seems to be unaffected. "Hm." The elder spirits all speak once more. "You remain standing. We shall help you, but only if that one, Azazel can take on all of us. We have taken interest in his energy." They all say as I see black energy surround Azazel's feet. "If you want to fight, so be it." He says as he vanishes. Ceraphine suddenly appears in front of me and summons a white energy wall. "For your protection." She says as suddenly pure black energy goes around the wall and rushes past all off us. The energy keeps flowing for several seconds before it stops. I notice cracks in Ceraphine's energy shield. She sighs as her shield crumbles. My eyes widen as I see Azazel standing over the unconscious body of the woman who punched Zen. "That one was for hitting my friend." He says as I see his long black hair shorten to the back of his neck. The woman opens her eyes then stands up and stares at him. "Well, that was....enlightening." She says as Azazel teleports back to Zen. "So when can we start training?" Azazel asks as the Ceraphine laughs. "So I guess that proves his power?" She asks as all the elder spirits nod. Azura steps forward. "We need you to create a pocket dimension that warp time in a way that years there are only seconds on earth." Azura says as the elder spirits all raise their hands. "So be it, you will be trapped in a pocket dimension until you can overpower our combined energy and break out of the dimension." They say as suddenly a world forms beneath my feet. As I blink an entire planet comes into existence. I look up to see moons above me. A lush forest grows up around me as I feel a heavy pressure pushing down on me. I hear the elder spirits voice booming. "To get truly strong, you must learn once more how to walk." They say as I get forced to my knees. I enter my 1st then 2nd release and barely stand up. "The weight of all of our energy is pushing down on this world. This world is a perfect manifestation of all our strength. You will only escape when you can overpower this world." They say as I see Azura and Ceraphine walking towards me in their base forms. "I didn't expect them to go all out." Azura says as I stare at her. I see Azazel, Zen, and Dialgo walk over to me, all glowing with black energy. "This is a pain in the ass." Dialgo says as I see him rub his neck. Azura claps her hands and a small energy burst knocks us all back to one knee. "Alright, to start your training, stand up." She says as we stand up. Suddenly red energy discharges from her making my body feel hundreds of times heavier than it was. I fall onto my hands and knees and so does Dialgo. Azazel is still just on one knee. "Now stand up." Azura says as I struggle to stand up. I enter my 3rd release and barely stand up. I see Dialgo and Azazel slowly make their way to their feet. Zen follows shortly after. "Since this is so hard for you 4, just stay standing for a while. Once it starts feeling easier, go back a form. When you can stand in base form, you'll be ready to really train." She says as I close my eyes and stay standing. After hours of grueling pain and boredom, I realize I feel a lot lighter. I revert back to my second release and instantly feel a huge weight push down on me. I fall to one knee but slowly stand back up. I see Azazel's energy decrease but he keeps standing. The same goes for Dialgo and Zen. After what feel like hours of this torture I finally stand up through the pressure in my base form. As I slowly start feeling lighter I sigh. Azazel speaks up. "This training is boring." He says as I nod. "Yea, but this is the only way to get a whole lot stronger." I reply and Dialgo laughs. "Just imagine fighting in this pressure." He says as I look at Azura. She smiles and pops her knuckles. "So how are all you feeling? Good enough to fight?" She asks as we all take a single step forward. "Not yet, but we're almost there." Azazel says with an evil grin. Azura laughs. "Don't worry, you won't be able to fight me until I can see you jumping up to there." She says as she points to her left. As we turn our heads we all see a mountain nearly a mile high. We all stare at it and sigh. "This is gonna be a long training session." We all say at the same time.
