Enter The Sandman

Huge Showoffs

"I've... had an element the entire time!? What do you mean they lied!? I thought you officials always kept the truth between everything, no matter what the cost!?" I yell out.

"Well, maybe 'us officials' thought that this situation was completely drastic to let a young one like you deal with. Or perhaps... they were just scared of you." Sahve replies.

I clench my hand into a tight fist and get an angry look on my face.

"What do they have to be scared of!? I am no where near anything scary!" Sahve gets a small grin on his face and puts his hand on my shoulder.

"It isn't you they are scared of... it's your ability. Come to think about it, Kiruh, when you were in the room looking for your partner information, did you see any kids that seemed... strange?"

"The only ones I saw were the kids that weren't in the elemental testing room with us."

"Ah yes, those were the kids. Here's something you should know Kiruh. Those kids, they were also lied to. Only difference between them and you, was that they were put into a completely different group. The higher-ups decided that they would move them with you guys, to keep from drawing suspicion towards you."

"How could they even lie to me like this though... what exactly is my element? Why is it so dangerous?"

"Well, The one thing I truly cannot risk telling you, is why your element is so dangerous. Though I will tell you what your element is..."

I open my eyes wide and lean in towards Sahve awaiting anxiously for my destiny carrying answer. I feel sweat drop down my neck as I sit there staring at Sahve.

"Sand"Sahve says.

"....Sand? What is that, a rip-off of the earth element? How in the world is sand dangerous in any way? What am I going to do, blind them to death? Oh I know, i'll create sandcastles for them and make them smile as I show them to them, then kick the sandcastles down to make them cry!"

"Well look at this! Little one has got some humor in him. This won't make me describe exactly why your element is so dangerous. But anyways, enough with this little chat here. Let's cut to the chase, and get to both of your training!"

Suiyomi gives out a small chuckle and says, "Well lucky for me I already know some of the basics of elemental control..." I glare at him and think to myself "What a showoff..."

"Well!" Sahve says. "I do believe we have an over achiever here! I'm assuming your family had taught you some of the basics of elemental control while they were experimenting with you! Seems like a lovely family to have."

Suiyomi looks at at Sahve with a blank expression and says "I do not know whether you are being sarcastic, or serious."

"Thats up to you to decide, Suiyomi." Sahve replies.

"Now then kiddies, let's go on out to training field 2880!" Sahve turns around and heads out of the door signifying for us to follow him. We walk through a bunch of hallways and training dummy centers. We go through three different cafeterias and pass by four locker rooms. Eventually we make it outside to the training field.

"Well then, let's begin by teaching you how to retrieve Beta! If you cannot master this, then you cannot become an elemental user!" Sahve says with his back turned against us.

He then turns around with a big smile on his face and says "Notice my hand here."

Sahve sticks out his hand and motions for us to get in closer.  "Nothing you see except a plain hand am I right?"

Suiyomi and I both nod.

"Well, here is what a hand looks like when you gather Beta to it."

Sahve's hand suddenly starts to glow, and Suiyomi and I see his hand start to glow a grey fiery aura. I could actually feel his immense power from just this little amount of energy he was gathering in his hand.

He suddenly quickly swipes his hand upwards, greatly startling me. "Now that I have gathered Beta to my hand, I will show you the simple Beta blast I was telling you about earlier."

Sahve straightens out his arm, keeping his hand pointed towards a target dummy about 50 meters away.  Soon after we see a dimly lit energy ball appear from his hand and he quickly shoots it out at the dummy. It quickly goes all the way to the dummy in around a second, and hits it with a hard impact. Dust appears around the impact area, so we wait a few seconds for the dust to clear.  Soon after it clears, we see the dent where the energy ball had hit.

"Whew, I had to hold back a lot! basically that is one of the weakest elemental moves of all time, however it can be the most useful due to the quickness of its sprout time, the amount of Beta it takes out, and how quickly we can shoot it." Sahve says.

I look at the dent on the dummy in pure awe.

"Wow! Amazing! You're telling me we can do stuff like that with our abilities!?"

I look over at Suiyomi, blanking staring at the doll. I get a evil grin on my face and say, "Hey Suiyomi, I bet even you can't do something like that!"

Suiyomi looks over at me with the same emotionless face, then puts on a smile.

"Boy you sure are a pest Kiruh. You really think I can't do something as simple as this? You have a lot to learn."

Suiyomi very quickly turns towards the dummy, and very quickly raises his arm the same way as Sahve. Suddenly the same energy ball appears from his hand and he shoots it in less than a second.

It impacts the dummy, and after the dust clears we see a same sized dent in a different area of the dummy.

"But i'm not done yet..."

Suiyomi quickly jumps very high in the air, points his hand at the dummy and shoots out multiple energy blasts at a very fast pace. All I see is multiple energy balls impacting an area filled with dust. Suiyomi finally finishes and drops down to the ground. I was in pure shock at how much control he had over Beta. When the dust finally cleared, the dummy was in pieces.

"Oh my" says Sahve. "I do believe i've been outdone. Well then, I guess I will have to fix that."

Sahve raises both of his arms and we see both of his hands glow. All of a sudden a huge amount of Beta surrounds his entire body. His entire body was surrounded by a glowing grey aura, which was sending out a strong wind all around him. Then, his hands are surrounded by a bright glow, and he fires.

It was a Beta blast, around 50 times the size of the baseball sized energy blasts we had seen. This time, even Suiyomi was in complete awe. The pure power of this blasts had me unable to move, and the wind was forcing me into a defensive stance.

Finally Sahve finishes his blast, and the pieces of the dummy that were laying on the ground were completely gone. As a matter of fact, the entire area that the blast hit was gone.

"Don't worry" Sahve says. "I made sure that the blast stopped at the end of our training field." Suiyomi and I stand there completely unable to move, in pure amazement from what we just saw. "This guy... is incredible!" I think to myself.

"Now that I have that off my chest, why don't we continue with our training?" Sahve says, with a huge smirk on his face, and his hand behind his head.
