Trial by fire. Rise of the turtle

by Kurai Makataka (my new pin name)




Chapter 0: The road to power.

“I have decided to leave the anime club,” I said with a straight face. The others
stare at me in disappointment.

“What are you saying sempai?” Na-na said to me.

“I can't be apart of this club anymore. I'm sorry,” i said hanging my head. Jo walks up and slaps me across my face.

“You fucking traitor!” she said glaring at me. My face is turned to the ground. I turn my head to face them. They all have a look of disgust on their faces. They couldn't phathem what I'm going through.

“Get out,” Soto said.

“Jon don't do this,” Tom said to me.

“No. This can't be helped. I must leave,” I said.

“You're not a maverick, Jon. Get over it,” Yujie said.

Then i must cut the ties that bind with the blades of hate, I thought. I snear went over my face.

“Well I guess I'm just a asshole huh? I mean its not that hard when you have such a wide spread of morons in one room,” I said.

“What did you say?” Soto asked enraged.

“You heard me, you stupid bastard,” I said looking at him with a grin.

“Your not worth the effort. You think your so supirior to all around you when I can grind you to dust in an instint,” I said glaring and smiling.

“There is no use to for that kind of talk Jon,” Yujie said.

“Oh yes. You are the honorable President of this club arn't you?” I said directing my gaze at her.

“What are you driving at?” she said.

“I'm glad I didn't face you for the position. Governing a bunch of naïve underclassmen in the first place. You're just as bad as him. Your smarter than anyone in this room and you act like a freakin' saint. It's stupid,” i said shruging my sholders.

“I guess I'd be like you if I had your wonderful bliss and knowledge,” I said.

“Why don't you leave already,” Alysha said.

“Fine,” I said turning my back.

“Winfield!” Soto called from behind me. I turned to see his fist in front of my face. My glasses gleamed. With lightning reflexes I grabbed his fist and throw him to the ground. He coughed and looked up at me.

“Take that pillow bitter,” I said staring down at him. I walked over him and opened the door. He got to his feet and ran at me.

“You stupid son of a bitch! I'm part dragon and you cant beat me!” he shouted.

“Stop you fool,” I said turning to face him. He cocked his fist back ready to throw it. I ran and caught his stomach with my knee. He gasped in pain, but I wasn't done.

This will ensure that they'll never seek me out. I thought. I clasped my hands together and struck his back. He let out a yell so ear splitting that even the deaf would cover their ears. He dropped to the ground in pain. I stood over his body.

“JONATHAN WINFIELD!!!! YOU ARE BANNED FROM THE NASHUA NORTH ANIME CLUB!!!” Yujie said. I turned to look at her. She saw my eyes full of sorrow.

“Good,” I said walking out the door. After I had left Soto regained his senses.

“That little prick. Who dose he think he is? I'll show him that I am half dragon,” he said.

“I don't think thats the whole story. He's hiding something,” Yujie said. “Something big. That would make him do this.”

“I'm sorry you guys,” I said while walking out side of school.

“But this is too dangerous to let you guys know about,” I said as my hand burst into flames. I stared at the flame.

“If I stayed with you guys it would only mean you deaths,” I said.

Chapter 1 Know your place

My name is Jonathan Winfield. Age 18. Race African-American. I'm a senior this year at Nashua High North. I'm now a maverick. But it wasn't like that a couple days ago. It all started when I was in my room.

“JON!!!” my mom called.

“YES!!”I called back.

“Take out the trash before I beat you!” she said. She's so violent. I was playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 on my old Sega Dreamcast. I walked into the living room to be greeted by my dog Diamond. He walked up to me, tail wagging. I grabbed the bag of trash and walked out side. It was raining hard. I quickly ran out to the trash can and opened the lid. Lightning was streaking across the night sky. I was walking back when I saw something in the sky. It looked like a big turtle. It looked down. It saw me. Then it burst into a huge light. Then vanished.

“What was that?” I said.

Maybe a trick with the light, Shadow said.

“Shout up. That stuff only happens in anime,” I said to him. Shadow is my other personality. My smart and tactless side. I kept walking. Then the rain stopped. I looked up to see a bolt of lightning 2 inches from my face.

“Damn,” I said. It struck me. I yelled in pain. It was as if my entire body was being torn apart.

“YOU ARE THE ONE....” it said.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“A DIVINE ONE...... YOUR DESTINY CALLS...... KAJI KAME” it said.

“What? Fire turtle?” i asked.

“I BESTOW ON THE THE FLAME OF POWER.....MAY IT PROTECT YOU......ALWAYS...” it said. I opened my eyes. In front of me was a Bo staff with the kanji of fire and the kanji of turtle.

“6 OTHERS WILL JOIN YOU WHEN THE TIME COMES...... UNTIL THEN IT IS YOUR DUTY TO PROTECT THIS TOWN......GOODBYE....BRAVE JONATHAN....” it said “NOW TAKE THE BO.....” I extended my hand and grabbed it. My body was transformed. I had a red t-shirt on. On my left breast was a badge that read Fire. My pants were red jeans. My shows where black and red combat boots. On my back was the Bo that I had taken. There was red paint around my eyes to make it look like a turtle's eye. My glasses were gone and I had perfect vision. The light faded and I was back in the front yard.

“WHEN YOU NEED THE POWER CALL KAJI ARASHI.....” the voice said. Then it faded completely. I went back inside.

“What took so long?” My sister said.

“Shut up Allison. I don't want to deal with you right now,”I said walking back into my room.

“You don't talk to me like that,” she said grabbing my shoulder. She instantly pulled her hand back. It was burned. Not to badly, but burned none the less.

“I'm taking a shower,” I said to my family.

“He seems kind of different,” my mom said.

“Al what happened to your hand?” Gage asked.

“It got burned from touching Jon,” she said looking at me while i walked to my room.

So what are you going to do? Shadow asked me.

“I have to cut my ties with the club,” I said

Why?” he asked.

“If they get mixed up in this and get hurt then it will be on my head. I can't subject them to that,” I said.

A wise move. But what a bout Yujie. You have a crush on her, he said.

“It'll pass,” I said coldly.

Fine then. I'll help you, he said. The water ran down my body. I looked up at the shower head and spaced out. Later that night I stole away from my house to the park near by.

“Its apparent I was given these powers for a reason. So lets test them” I said out loud to myself.

“KAJI KAME!!” I shouted. My body burst into flames and the outfit from before returned. I looked at myself.

“Damn. These are some nice cloths. Ok time to focus,” I said. I closed my eyes and concentrated. I held out my right hand. I began to glow with a red light. My eyes snapped open and a blast of fire burst from my hand. It soared over the park in a blaze of glory.

“Hmm. I wonder if I could use this Bo like a zanpaku-to?” I wondered pulling it around to the front of me.

“Umm what is your name?” I asked it? Nothing. I asked again. Still nothing.

“Aw man,” I said. then i heard a giggle come from behind me. It was a bird. It giggled some more.

“Who are you?” I asked.

“My name is Kaori?” it said.

“Kaori?” I asked. Then my Bo began to glow. It changed to the shape of a sheathed katana.

“What the hell?” I asked.

“Oh goody you released me!” its said.

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“I can change shape when you call me. From a staff to a katana and other weapons. I am your fighting partner Kaori,” the bird had change into a woman.

“So you are like a zanpaku-to,” I said.

“Sorta,” she said. “Anyway, we can get to know each other later. I feel a demon. Its one of the wolves. Coming from......down town. We have to hurry!” she said.t

“Got it. Do I have super speed?” I asked.

“Yep,” she said with a smile.

“Cool. Lets go!” I said dashing twords main street. I jumped onto the telephone poll and jumped from one to the other. I could feel the wolf. I landed to the right of it. It was about go into the comic book store.

“HEY!” I called to it. It turned to face me.

“Stores closed,” I said dashing at it. My sword was a Bo again. I bashed the demon over the head and did a flip over him. Getting in his way.

“KAORI!!” I called. Nothing happened.

“Why won't you transform?” I asked.

“You have to say the activation key,” she said from my hand. I looked up. The wolf was about to strike me.

“BURN THE SKY! KAORI!!!” I yelled. The Bo turned to the sheathed sword. My eyes closed then snapped open.

“HITEN MITSURUGI STYLE! Ouki Ama Kakeru Ryu No Hirameki!!” I drew the sword at a blinding speed. Cleaving the beast in half. Its body faded out into a cloud of smoke.

“WOW! That was amazing master!” Kaori said.

“Kaori,” I said.

“Yes master?” she asked.

“Don't call me master,” I said looking back at her.
