 Technique Name: A Hike in the Mountains
Description: The user can run up a wall and flip off of it without taking any damage or falling.
Requirements: None
Post Length: 6 posts
Ariana woke up getting off the ground and looking around rubbing her head. She then saw some guy doing acrobatics the very thing she wanted to incorporate in her fighting style. She watched as the guy ran up the wall and back flipped off of it quick swift and gracefully without trouble. Ariana's eyes were attracted to the action and every moment she watched made her even more eager to learn. Ariana stood up and walked over to the acrobat.
"hi, I'm Ariana. I was wondering if yoou could teach me how to do a few of those tricks off the wall"
2/6
The guy looked to Ariana and smiled extending a hand to shake. Ariana took his hand and shook smiling.
"Nice to meet you, Ariana. I am Cabaji and sure I'd love to to teach you a few tricks."
He said in a very strange way but Ariana didn't think much of it since the only tricks she was going to learn were acrobatics. They stopped shaking after a while like one fo those weird moments where neither would let go.
"So whats first?"
Ariana asked looking up to cabaji ready to begin their session for acrobatics. Cabaji bent over and began touching his toes feeling a stretch.
"First we stretch."
3/6
Ariana followed suit and bent over touching her toes as well. She was flexible but only when she wanted to be. At the moment she wanted to be but she just wasnt. She easily touched her toes but going farther was a tough challenge. Cabaji looked over checking Ariana out as she did so then smiled. Ariana didn't realize what exactly he was doing she just figured he was looking over at her progress, not progressing by looking at her figure bent over. After awhile they stood up straight and Cabaji went into a split.
4/6
Ariana performed a perfect split slowly and smoothly going down. Her legs were feeling the burn but she managed to hold the position. Cabaji on the other hand was yawning. He then reached both hand s out to one leg and Ariana did the same. When he had switched to the other leg so did Ariana.
"Stretching is good but only if you do it right and are stretching the right muscles for the thing you are about to do."
Cabaji explained bringing both his legs in together and standing. He had his fun and was ready to begin.
5/6
"okay this move is rather simple and leads to more complicated moves but they are all fairly easy its just you have to understand and believe. Now when you run up to the way you want to go moderately fast and the first step should be high around chest height. Once that foots on the wall you want to lean forward and thrust a bit and use your other leg by swing it up and giving those little push supports to make it up the wall. As you go higher dont lean forwards as much allow your legs to beat you up the tree. Once high enough usually your fourth step you want to push off and and wallah before you know it you've back flipped and are heading to the ground. Now to land you need to bend your knees to absorb shock and if you can keep it moving rather than sticking it but at a higher level it wont matter which one you do."
6/6
Cabaji demonstrated once running up to the wall and back flipping off of it and sticking it. Ariana smiled watching then thought about it for a moment kind of playing what he did in her head and matching it to the directions given. Ariana then took off to the tree taking a big step with the first foot she placed on the tree leaning forward. A few quick steps later she was back flipping allow her legs to go over head. She tried to land it bending her knees as she landed then pushed off into a roll just for the fun. Ariana then got up and smiled to Cabaji.

Technique Name: Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze
Description: Instead of flipping off of the wall during the Cabaji Hike in the Mountains technique, the user can jump extremely high off of the wall.
Requirements: The user must know A Hike in the Mountains.
Post Length: 1 posts
1/1
Cabaji performs Hike in the mountains running up the wall of the building and jumping off once he was about three stories high. He then landed in a crouch light on his feet sure not to injure himself. Cabaji looked over to Ariana and smiled widely then stood up straight now give it a try. Its basically, "Hike in the mountains but from a high altitude and you have to turn from the wall and push. Other than that its the same. Don't worry about the fall you'll always have time to push off the wall. Its all in how you plan. Also remember to bend your knees when you land to absorb the impact properly. Ariana nodded then ran up the wall going three stories high and landing bending her knees quickly dropping into a crouch light on her feet but afterwards falling back

Technique Name: The Breath of Death
Description: The user is able to emit a small amount of fire from their mouth.
Requirements: None
Post Length: 6 posts
Cabaji smiled looking at Ariana who had just completed the move. Ariana stood up and dusted her self off though she was already dirty she didn't believe in making it worse. Cabaji was fresh out of interesting tricks thinking to himself.
"hmmm well thats it for my cool acrobatics the other ones are basically that and improvising and riding unicycles but that I can't teach its up to you to figure it out."
Ariana smiled then replied not really caring much to learn more acrobatic techniques.
"Its okay I think that's enough I should be able to make good use out of these moves."
2/6
"Make good use? You want to become a performer exhibitionist?"
Ariana laughed in reply and shaking her head as she came to a stop.
"No I want to be a pirate and tour the world with my crew but unfortunately I have to keep up with getting strong or we can't proceed. Its really a draw back to my dreams that I can't go places freely since I lack transportation without my crew and being our crew consists only of two people including me. so I'm trying to incorporate these tricks into my fighting style to get some experience you know?"
Ariana explained
3/6
Cabaji understood completely for he was a pirate himself and these moves helped him greatly.
"Yes, I understand. In that case I have another technique to teach you. You might love this one. Its called, The Breath of Death. Its basically a little circus trick blowing flames out of the mouth. People tend to mistake this technique with the whole alcohol and flame technique. This technique is strictly the human blowing flames no alcohol at all. It comes deep with in the lungs. "
Cabaji explained as he talked a bit of flame spurred from his mouth. Ariana laughed a bit, cabiji smiled slightly
4/6
"well go ahead and try inhaling and releasing. It might seem that you're nowhere near but you can tell by the heat in your breath. You simplify this by using alcohol"
Cabaji gave Ariana a little flask with X's labeled all over it. Ariana took the flask but didn't drink it yet. She puckered her lips and blew how she normally would not expecting to work. She had been blowing her whole life (lol no sexual intentions) and she never saw flames. She tried again breathing out slowler until she was out of breath and light headed
5/6
Ariana stumbled a bit feeling dizzy and out of breath. She caught herself for a moment and waited for a moment. Cabaji laughed looking at Ariana and opened the flask for her and handed it to her. Ariana took it and drank it having a slight headache. She stopped after a little sip not trying to get drunk since her tolerance was really low. Ariana then tried to blow out flames but all she could feel was a burn in her throat and smell alcohol. Cabaji took the flask and sipped half of what was left then exhaled flames loosening his lips and shooting out a stream consistantly.
6/6
Ariana watched amazed as he continued for about a few seconds. Cabaji stopped then looked to Ariana handing her the flask and shrugging again not wanting to encourage her to drink but it was the only way he saw that would help
"Eh I dont want to sound like I'm trying to get you drunk to have my way but I think you need to drink a little more."
Ariana laughed a at his statement knowing he didn't have any intentions to do so. Ariana took the flask and finished it feeling it tickling inside as her body temperature slowly rose. Ariana waited a moment getting hiccups and feeling drowsy.
"Are you okay?"
Cabaji asked catching her as she stumbled back. Ariana sighed blowing out flames towards Cabaji. He moved his head and held Ariana for a moment noticing she wasn't going to be able to stand. She sat down and held her until buggy came and he had to go. He left her someones grass making it look like it was her house and having fun in the sun

Technique Name: 1 Sword Steep Slash
Description: A quick, powerful slash that is hard to block.
Requirements: The user must know 1 Sword Style.
Post Length: 6 posts
Ariana woke on someones lawn realizing Cabaji was gone. All she remembered was the flames which cheered her up through the headache she began to feel. As she rubbed her head she saw a guy walk down the street with a sword. Ariana got up slowly and stumbled a bit then ran towards the guy.
"Hey! Hey, you!"
She called out to the guy chasing after him clearly she would ask him to teach her as she had been doing. She had been doing this all over the place that everyone was expecting her. She was known by this more than her wanted poster.
2/6
The guy turned around watching Ariana approaching him wondering where her clothes were. He looked down then back up but didn't comment and kept a straight face and waited a moment for her to introduce himself and ask him something and here it came.
"hi, I am Ariana, I'm trying to become a swordsman and I was wondering if you were a swordsman."
Tashigi looked down at his sword and then back up to Ariana not saying anything for a long time period. He cleared his throat then replied
"Yes, yes, I am....how may I help you on this 'beautiful' day?"
Ariana was confused wondering what she did wrong noticing the emphasis on the word, "beautiful"
3/6
Ariana ignored it though after pausing for a moment then spoke
"I was wondering if you could teach me a few things. I really don't expect much just a little. Like two techniques and I'm not a complete newb to swords. I have been trained multiple times."
Ariana pulled out her Katana showing it off a bit since it wasn't like any other Katana in size, handle design, and the blade itself. Tagishi rose a brow and looked at the blade a bit fascinated changing his attitude a bit
"What kind of blade is that? hmmm never seen one like it."
Ariana smiled then simply replied because this is the only one like it. I had it custom made.
4/6
Tagishi made a slight sound showing a bit of interest in her blade wanting to see what it was like. He wanted to make a comparison and he was trying to become a great swordsman himself so this would probably do him some good as well teaching her. He was off to train anyway and as he said it was a "beautiful" day.
"Sure I'll show you a few things but I'm not a great teacher."
Tagishi said taking Ariana's blade swinging it a few times loving the control. It wasn't made for him but the small adjustments made for Ariana improved it for most people her size.
5/6
"Not bad...anyway lets go because I have a lot to do today. I'll teach you a very powerful slash that is very difficult to block for it is so strong and fast. With your blade it should be simple. Watch my stance as I perform it. My toes are pointed where I am focusing my power, my hips are squared and my swords out in an offensive long range attack preparation. Now here comes the attack pay close attention to this part"
Tagishi said as it became quiet. Ariana looked observing closely her eyes shifting constantly. Tagishi moved off instantly with a slash bringing the blade back a bit then swings diagonally across the tree trunk slashing into it half way.
6/6
Tagishi never had gotten so deep into the tree before and holding the blade made him feel much more powerful. Ariana smiled looking at the slash catching it perfectly. It was all clear to her at this point and by the look Tagishi received he could tell she caught on. He handed her her blade and let her give it a shot. Ariana pointed her toes towards the tree then squared her hips then pushed off bring the blade back a bit and slashing in the same spot finishing the tree causing it to fall down. Ariana smiled then sheathed her blade as she did the tree behind her ht the ground kicking up debris.

Technique Name: 1 Sword Charge
Description: The user charges at the opponent at amazing speed, trying to deliver a heavy cut to the chest.
Requirements: The user must know 1 Sword Style and 1 Sword Steep Slash.
Post Length: 7 posts
"Okay you've probably heard this a lot, speed equals power especially with swords. Physical strength doesn't matter here though a heavier swords man will have you backing up you'll be much more agile and quicker and with better strikes and better defensive techniques less will get to you no matter who you are against. This technique I'm about to show is basically 1 sword charge except it requires you to be forceful, fast, quick, heavy on hands, arms, and use stiff wrists. You should even have bigger and heavier swordsmen a bit nerved wrecked.
Tashigi explained then took Ariana's blade instead of his
2/7
Tagishi loved this blade and wanted to make the most out of its presence. He held it up before him squaring his hips and pointing the blade in the direction of the tree and took out quickly leavings dust in his place and slashing the tree cutting through it completely. Ariana watched in amusement wanting to get to it and try practicing this technique. Ariana wasn't the most athletic person to walk the earth as a matter of fact she was very weak and not too physically built but she had a great shape.
3/7
Tagishi walked back over to Ariana and handed her the blade. Ariana took her blade and held it out before her looking at another tree. She then squared her hips perfectly emphasizing stances knowing how important stance was to get correctly. Ariana then pointed her toes towards the tree aligning it with the blade and pushing forward chopping at the tree with a heavy slash that was considerably faster and stronger than the last but weaker than Tagishi's noticeably. Ariana frowned looking at the tree then walked back over to Tagishi.
4/7
"what happened? I didn't get it or you are just stronger than me..."
Ariana said as she returned to Tagishi holding her blade to hand it to him. He pushed it back to her and smiled laughing a bit.
"Keep practicing you will get it. I didnt get it my first try either just keep working at it. Repetition...repetition...A good swordsman isnt made over night if it was I would be the best."
Tagishi laughed sitting down on a stump of a tree that they had chopped down earlier. Ariana stood stance again holding the blade out and everything. The wind blew her hair out of her face for her.
5/7
"well go ahead lets see you go at it. I'll point out what you are doing wrong once you do it then hopefully we can get you to perform this right and I can be on my way being the busy man I am I have to keep moving to make time for training."
Tashigi said waiting for Ariana to get moving locking his eyes on her stance. Ariana took off and brought the blade back a bit and slashed the tree cutting into it partially not nearly anywhere as much as last time. She was thinking something was seriously wrong now.
6/7
Tashigi saw exactly what it was that Ariana was doing and stood up showing Ariana as he spoke.
"You brought your arm back to swing. With this move your sword should be back already as you get closer bring it down and make it swift and fluent. You wnat it to feel clean not rigid then you'll know if you have successfully completed this technique."
Ariana stood with the blade before her and squared her hips and stared down the tree focusing her strength to get this right.
7/7
Ariana held tight to the blade stiffening her wrists and muscles and aligned her blade with the tree. Ariana moved slightly which tagishi easily identified as her about to move
"Wait!"
He yelled stopping her in her tracks. Ariana tipped over and fell then looked to Tagishi.
"What? What now?"
Ariana moaned grabbing herself and pushed herself up to get off her stomach and sat on her heels kneeling looking to Tagishi. Tagishi shook his head and sighed
"Set up again and this time point your toe at the target line your blade with it."
Ariana stood up and stared at the tree a bit pissed at it for all the trouble she was going through. Ariana squared her hips put her arm out holding the blade properly then took off leaving a trail of dust and slicing clean through the tree and standing with her head down and the blade sheathed. Tagishi clapped his hands applauding Ariana for doing it correctly
"Congrats"
When Ariana turned around Tagishi was gone. Ariana then headed off

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao eagerly arrived in Orange Town, not sure if he was happier being away from Kuro, or to be closer to Cabaji. Truthfully, anywhere was better than Syrup Village in his opinion. Kuro was just such a cold, mean person. Hisao considered Cabaji to have a similar fighting style to his own, without the swords. The young Swordsman had wanted to learn from Cabaji since he was fifteen; three years ago. He had seen him walking through town one day with his father, showing off his techniques. He was running on walls, spinning his sword around and creating dust clouds, and breathing fire. Hisao thought they were amazing and hoped to one day learn them.(A Hike in the Mountains)
(1/6 posts) Hisao wandered around Orange Town now, the home of Buggy the Pirate and the pirates that used to be in his crew before he was arrested, trying to spot the Acrobat known as Cabaji. The young Swordsman looked all over, trying to just catch a glimpse of the man he had wanted to learn from since he was fifteen. Cabaji had five or six techniques he had seen that he knew he had to learn. He walked all over Orange Town, looking in alleys and bars, and ships and docks, but no matter where he looked, he couldn't find Cabaji the Acrobat. "Come on! Where is he?" Hisao moaned as he continued to hunt for the man.(A Hike in the Mountains)
(2/6 posts) Hisao had given up on looking for Cabaji after nearly an hour of aimlessly wandering around Orange Town; dying a little inside. He went up to a booth and bought a water and an onigiri; taking a big gulp before putting it away and taking a large bite of the riceball. He had had better, but it wasn't that bad. While eating, his eyes stuck on a man. He had greenish black hair with three shaved lines and longer on the left side. He also had a checkered scarf and ripped up vest. Hisao instantly recognized him as Cabaji the Acrobat. "There you are!" He cried out, rice and filling shooting out of his mouth.(A Hike in the Mountains)
(3/6 posts) Hisao was so excited he finally found Cabaji the Acrobat that he threw the onigiri over his shoulder without thinking. He then started running at Cabaji, his arms flapping like a spastic bird as he ran. The Acrobat turned around to see what the commotion was, and saw Hisao running at him. He let out a small yelp and whipped out his unicycle, hopping on it and bursting forward, a trail of dust following the single-wheeled mode of transportation. Hisao tripped on a rock, landing face first on the ground. The Swordsman moaned and slowly got up, wiping the dirt off his face and looking in the direction of where Cabaji had sped off to.(A Hike in the Mountains)
(4/6 posts) Hisao was now covered in dirt but didn't care as he stood up at full height, brushing the dirt and dust off his open black eikogi and black hakama. He then took a deep breath, closing his eyes as his lungs filled with fresh air. "You're not getting away Cabaji!" He yelled at the top of his lungs before running forward at full speed, a cloud of dust following him as he ran. His hair was pushed back by the wind, and his keikogi flapped violently behind him. Cabaji was now on foot, running up onto a ship. Hisao followed after him, determined to catch him. The young Swordsman was right behind Cabaji, and was about to catch him, but Cabaji ran up a wall, and Hisao ran into it.(A Hike in the Mountains)
(5/6 posts) Hisao fell backwards onto the ground, holding his nose and rolling back and forth in pain. Cabaji jumped off the wall and asked why Hisao had been following him for the last five minutes. After the pain ended, Hisao slowly got up and told him that he was here to learn his techniques. Cabaji chuckled and thought he was trying to attack him or something. Cabaji the Acrobat then showed Hisao how to perform the A Hike in the Mountains technique, which Hisao got after the third try. The first two tries were filled with a lot falling, swearing, and bruises.(A Hike in the Mountains: Complete!)

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao rubbed his head after learning the A Hike in the Mountains technique from Cabaji, having a large bump on it from when he had fallen while trying to perform the A Hike in the Mountains technique. Cabaji then taught Hisao the next technique. He called it Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze. It was like A Hike in the Mountains, only you jump off the wall, much higher into the air at the end this time. Hisao nodded and listened, then decided to try it. He got a running start at the wall, getting about teen feet up before jumping, reaching twenty feet, then landing five feet behind Cabaji. And with that, Hisao learned the Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze technique.(Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze: Complete!)

----- イくぜ！ --After practicing the A Hike in the Mountains and Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze, Hisao felt he was skilled enough with those two techniques to learn the next one. Hisao eagerly asked Cabaji what the next one was. "So, what do I have to do for the next one?" He asked. Cabaji smirked and nodded. "Well, you're going to need your sword for this one. It's Called Sting of the Sword. It's just like Fireworks in the Cool Summer Breeze, but at the end, you draw your sword and stab it into the opponent. Quite effective." Cabaji explained. Hisao nodded and listened as he mentally visualized using the technique.(Sting of the Sword)
(1/4 posts) After Hisao visualized using the technique for a moment, he understood how it worked. He already knew a technique similar. One Sword Slicer. Hisao was the type of person that learned a technique better by watching, not listening. "Could you show me?" Hisao asked. Cabaji nodded and took several steps back, away from the wall. He then stopped and turned around, facing the wall from ten feet away. "Certainly. Anything to help you learn." Cabaji said and prepared to demonstrate it. Hisao smiled and watched, ready to see how it worked.(Sting of the Sword)
(2/4 posts) Cabaji the Acrobat ran at the wall, running extremely fast, even for an acrobat, and once reaching it, hopped up and went straight up. He ran all the way to the top before jumping, reaching twenty or thirty feet in the air. He then drew a sword and let gravity pull him down. He landed hard, sticking the sword a foot into the ground. He then pulled it out of the ground and put it away, bowing. Hisao whistled, truly impressed by the technique. It was obviously one of those techniques that would kill people easily, but was hard to pull off. "And that's all there is to it." Cabaji explained after performing it. Now that Hisao saw how it worked, he was ready to try.(Sting of the Sword)
(3/4 posts) Hisao walked back, about ten feet from the wall, like Cabaji had done. The young Swordsman knew he needed a fair amount of space. He then turned around to face the wall, taking several deep breaths. He took a final deep breath and ran at the wall. Once he reached it, he hopped onto it, using the momentum to keep him going up. He almost reached the top before losing speed and jumped then, flipping through the air. He drew Kusetsu and aimed it at the ground. Gravity pulled him down fast. Kusetsu went deep into the ground. Hisao stood up and smiled, then tried to pull Kusetsu out of the ground.(Sting of the Sword: Complete!)

----- イくぜ！ --After several minutes of yanking and pulling, Hisao finally got Kusetsu unstuck. Maybe he had performed the technique from too high up. Luckily, the blade was extremely sturdy, so it didn't take any damage. Hisao chuckled as he pulled out a rag and wiped Kusetsu clean. He started to sheath it, but Cabaji stopped him. "You'll need your sword for the next technique. It's called Murder at the Steambath. You spin your sword around until the wind picks up the dust and dirt around you, making a type of smokescreen." Cabaji explained. Hisao listened, finding this technique very interesting.(Murder at the Steambath)
(1/3 posts) Hisao recalled seeing Cabaji demonstrate this technique when he was younger. It wouldn't be that difficult, he hoped. The young Swordsman listened and decided to try it. He held Kusetsu with both hands and started to spin it. He was very bad at it at first, either dropping Kusetsu or throwing it. Cabaji quickly learned to stand behind him while he practiced. He tried again, but accidentally grabbed the blade, cutting his hand open. After wrapping it, Hisao gave up and asked Cabaji to give him a demonstration. Cabaji said he would. He drew the same blade he had used in Sting of the Sword, and started spinning it, using his hands to spin the hilt around.(Murder at the Steambath)
(2/3 posts) Hisao watched as the acrobat created a gust of wind from just spinning his blade so quickly it picked up any dirt and dust in front of him. He then took a deep breath, flexing his cut hand. Now that he had seen Cabaji do it, he knew he could. He took a deep breath, holding the middle of the hilt with both hands. Hisao started spinning it, slowly at first, but picking up speed as he got faster and faster. Eventually he could do it with one hand, so he drew Kusetsu's sheath and spun both the blade and sheath, creating a large gust of wind. That wasn't so hard. Sure, he cut his hand and it was pretty deep, but on the plus side, he learned how to spin his sword.(Murder at the Steambath: Complete!)

----- イくぜ！ --Hisao smirked, wiping the sweat off of his forehead with the right sleeve of his kiekogi. He had now learned four out of the five techniques that Cabaji had promised to teach him. Now all that was left was that fire-breathing one, the one that excited Hisao the most. Letting out a deep breath, all the training had started to wear him down, but he could keep going, at least for a little while. Cabaji noticed this and let out a slight chuckle, saying he had quite a bit of stamina. The young Samurai laughed and nodded before then sheathing Kusetsu and tucking it into his obi. "Alright, so what's the next technique?" He asked.(Breath of Death)
(1/6 posts) Cabaji thought to himself, apparently trying to think about how to describe the technique. Hisao just stared at him, not sure what to say. Watching Cabaji think to himself reminded Hisao of Shanks for some reason, possibly because Shanks did that too while training him. After a few moments of silence, Cabaji apparently figured out what to say. "Alright. This is the last technique I can teach you. It's called..." Cabaji started to say, but slowly started to fade away and eventually stopped talking. He then started running around, apparently looking for something. Hisao just stood there, watching the Acrobat rip apart the ship, trying to find something. (Breath of Death)
(2/6 posts) Hisao decided to take a seat, thinking it would take a while. He hopped up and sat on the railing of the ship, just watching Cabaji the Acrobat run around the deck of the ship. Hisao's feet dangled from the wooden wall and took turns kicking it's sides while he waited. Suddenly, Cabaji looked up at Hisao and ran at him. "You! I need you to do me a favor. Go to the book store and pick up my order." Cabaji commanded. The young Swordsman just stared at him until Cabaji pushed him off the railing and towards the ramp. Hisao was about to say something, but Cabaji kept pushing.(Breath of Death)
(3/6 posts) Hisao tried to stick his feet into the ground, the soles of his geta digging into and dragging on the earth, but Cabaji kept pushing, regardless of what Hisao try to do to resist, until he was halfway into the road. Hisao spun around, knocking Cabaji's hands away. "Fine! I'll get your stupid book." He yelled. Cabaji smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then gave him a final push, causing the nineteen-year old Swordsman to stumble, trip, and fall on his face. Hisao quickly got up and spun around to yell of the man who had just pushed him down, but Cabaji was already gone again. Hisao brushed himself off and started off, mumbling.(Breath of Death)
(4/6 posts) Hisao started into a run, trying to find the book as soon as possible. He ran all around Orange Town, but he couldn't find a book store. He had to stop and ask three people where the bookstore was. If you haven't noticed already, Hisao is horrible with directions. He's actually gotten lost in a hallway before. Just another one of those perks of being a genius. After an extremely long ten minutes of wandering, he found it. When he got there, he asked for the book Cabaji sent him to get. The book store owner said he didn't have it, and that Cabaji had picked it up earlier that day. Hisao's eye twitched as a growl escaped his mouth and thanked the manager through clenched teeth before slowly turning around and leaving the store.(Breath of Death)
(5/6 posts) Hisao took a deep breath once he left the store, closing his eyes and trying to calm the rage that was swelling up inside him. Calm down Hisao, it's not a big deal. He mentally said, attempting to calm himself, before another, more angry Hisao thought bubble entered the chat. Screw that! He made you waste twenty minutes of training time! He must die! He interrupted. Hisao roared and burst forward, running unbelievably fast and making a wave of dust behind him. He reached the ship in under thirty seconds, where Cabaji was reading the book. He apologized and said he would teach Hisao the final technique. This calmed down Hisao down a bit. After he learned it, he ran off to the docks.(Breath of Death: Complete!)

Yavuz walked on a worn path, with trees covering him from a hot sun. He could see a clearing ahead of him, with a town up ahead.
”Whoa, I didn’t know I would make it this far.” He said as a turned his head, looking at the back of the forest behind through the corner of his eye. Something caught his eye, and he quickly turned back. A man on a unicycle was racing towards him, dust trailing behind. The man rushed pasted Yavuz, knocking him over.
”Hey!” Yavuz shouted as he caught his breath from the fall. The man quickly pulled on his brakes, and turned around.
“Who speaks to me, Cabaji the Acrobat, like that?” The man said, raising his only uncovered eyebrow. There was a long pause between the two men.
”Who?” Yavuz asked confused.
Cabaji turned red in anger. “WHAT?!? I’ll teach you speak to me like that!” He shouted as he rushed towards Yavuz on his unicycle, swords ready.
“Wait! I didn’t know who you were!” Yavuz said, readying himself for the attack.

Cabaji rushed towards Yavuz with his two swords raised. Yavuz quickly pulled out his newly bought dagger, and readied for the incoming attack.
”Heheh. What will that puny dagger do?” Cabaji said, bringing his sword down. Yavuz raised his dagger to block it, feeling the force of the swing push his arm down. Cabaji grinned widely, and struck Yavuz in shoulder with his other blade. Yavuz stepped sideways, grabbing his wound.
His hand felt warm with blood. The man hadn’t felt this rush for a while.
Yavuz gave a wide grin. Cabaji wheeled backwards, readying another attack.

Cabaji put the hilts of his swords together, and began riding towards Yavuz. “Murder at the Steambath!” He shouted, and began to spin the swords quickly, like a windmill. Dust began to rise in the air, and soon covered the area.
Yavuz looked around as he coughed. He couldn’t see anything with the dust covering the area, but could hear the wheel of Cabaji’s unicycle. Cabaji quickly jumped from the shield of dust.
”Breath of Death!” He shouted as flames spewed from his mouth. Yavuz covered him self from the heat with his arms, but the flames scorched his unclothed arms. Cabaji landed behind him, and slowly turned around to view his work.

As Cabaji turned around on his unicycle, Yavuz struck him with a closed fist. A knock like that couldn’t take the experienced unicycler off his bike, but it shocked him.
”Y-You struck me.” He said, touching his bruised cheek. Yavuz gave a sigh of relief, seeing as he could strike the acrobat. As the thought settled in, Cabaji’s anger soon grew, and he begun to ride irrationally towards Yavuz. “A Hike in the Mountains!”
Cabaji rode up the side of a tree. He disappeared in the forest’s ceiling.
”Where are you going?” Yavuz said arrogantly. He heard the breaking of branches, and bushes moving. Under his breath Yavuz said, “He’s coming back.”

All Yavuz could hear was the sound of rustling bushes, then the sound quietly died off.
“The Dance of a Hundred Kamikaze Tops!” He heard shouted. Tops whirled past him from the bushes, slicing into him. He tried to knock them away with his arm and dagger, but the bladed tops came in swarms. Yavuz could soon see a shadow rush by him over his head.
He heard the crash of tree branches again, and readied for another swarm of tops. Through the thick wall of bushes and trees he could see a burning glow. It began to grow, and Cabaji rushed from the flames.
