*POV CHANGES TO KABATAMASHI’S POV* I am so angry right now. How could I lose to someone like Tsuyoi? I need to become stronger, I thought to myself. I had an idea that might be able to help me. I will go to the library everyday and read books about powers that may be able to help me become stronger, no matter how long it takes. The first day I went there, I found nothing. For the next 4 months, nothing I read helped me. It has already passed Tsuyoi’S birthday, and he is now 14. Not like I care, because I need to defeat him. I am just using that as a comperasin for how long I had been searching to become stronger. I finally stumbled along a book that would help me become stronger. ‘There is an artifact known as X, as very little is known about it. What people do know about it, though, is that it can give you unlimited power. It is in a whole nother dimension, and you need the Enshentoai to cross over the dimension, AND be able to withstand the unlimited power and not die from all that power. You only need one of the eyes for all this’ After reading that, I knew I had to get one of Tsuyoi’s eyes, and that was my motive now. *POV CHANGES BACK TO TSUYOI POV* *knock knock knock* Someone was at the door. When I went to open the door, it was Kabatamashi. I was confused, why could Kabatamashi be at my house…? “Hey, what are you doing here Kabatamashi?” He then said, “I wanted to apologize for how I was treating you. Would you maybe want to come to my house and hang out with me?” I was skeptical at first, but would it hurt to hang out with him? Plus, I did want to become friends with Kabtamashi. I responded, “Sure, let me just ask my parents” I ran upstairs to ask my parents if I could go over to Kabatamashi’s house, and they said yes. I was excited to finally be able to hang out with Kabatamashi. While we were on the way to his house, I asked him why he wanted to hang out with me. “Kabatamashi, why do you wanna hang out with me all of a sudden?” He then said, “Well, you’re just so strong, so I was hoping that maybe I can have those eyes of yours.” I then asked “What do you mean have my eyes…?” He then said, “You’ll see.” Before I could run back home, Kabatamashi knocked me out. Next thing you know, I am in a room with locks on my feet and arms, and some type of device on my head. “Oh, you’re finally awake,” Kabatamashi said. I activated my eyes, then tried attacking him only to realize the device on my head stopped me from using my powers. Kabatamashi then said, “You activated your eyes and fell right into my trap!” I tried deactivating them, but it did not work. Kabatamashi then said, “You know, after you beat me in the finals of the fighting tournament, I have been searching for a way to become stronger than you. It took me 4 months, but I finally found something; a book that contained information that was like money to my eyes. It said someone needed to wield the ancient eyes that you so happen to have. I need your eyes to first open the portal to the dimension the artifact was in, and another reason I need your eyes is to be able to withstand the unlimited power the artifact gives you. So, I will be taking one of your eyes, and destroying the other eye. The reason I won’t be taking both eyes is because that is too much power for me.” I then said, “No, you can’t do this Kabatamashi! Just let me go!” Kabatamashi then said, “Oh, yeah I will let you go, after I take one of your eyes and destroy the other.” So, Kabatamashi then used a special technique to swap eyes. Then he picked up a Kunai. When he was about to strike me my powers were working again, so I opened a portal and the Kunai somewhere else. Kabatamashi then said, “You know what, nevermind that. You’re still stuck in here. Anyways, see you later when I have unlimited power!” He then jumped through the portal. I felt like I had failed. Now, Kabatamashi will have all the power in the world, and I could do nothing to stop him. I felt defeated. I then realized I can use my powers to break the locks. So, I did just that. When I opened a portal, I was about to jump inside the portal, but before I did, I had to ask Ichiki for a favor. “Hey, Ichiki. Lend me some aura please.” She then said, “Yes. I know this instance is urgent. Look, I know I said you’re not ready for this, but I will lend you 3 stages instead of 1 as you need as much power as possible.” I then jumped into the portal. All I saw around me was a pink void. There was no ground, yet I was able to walk. “Woah, what is this place,” I ask myself while admiring the area. “Okay, I am getting off guard. I just need to find Kabatamashi and stop him from doing this!” So, I ran all around, looking for Kabatamashi. After running around for 10 minutes, I had no luck finding Kabamtamashi. Just when I turned around, I heard a noise. I turned back around to see Kabatamashi. I then asked, “Kabatamashi, why are you doing this? What are you planning to do with all the power you will receive?” Kabatamashi then said, “I am planning to destroy this cruel world, then make a new one. I will bring back everyone from the dead, and they will be under my command. It will be a world that I rule, and a world that is not power and money driven!” I then asked, “Kabatamashi, has this world ever even hurt you?” He then replied, “Yes, too many times to count! To start off with, I was always bullied as a kid for no reason. When I tried fighting back, I was just tossed around like a little toy that children would play with. Then, I tried to impress people around me, but they paid me no attention like I was some dirty, stinky, old man. Lastly, I was an orphan for most of my life because my parents were abusive and I could not live with them. So you see, that is how this accursed world has affected me! But now, with unlimited power, I may destroy the earth and create a peaceful one, where violence will be destroyed!” After hearing all that, I felt bad for Kabatamashi. But I could not let him destroy earth and take control of everything! I then told him, “Look Kabatamashi, I feel bad for you, really! But you cannot just destroy earth and make a new one, then take over everything. I will not let you!” I then ran up to Kabatamashi and punched him. *POOF* That was a clone.... I then saw the real Kabatamashi walking out a portal with the artifact. I ran to the portal, but then it closed. I made my own portal and ran through it. I searched for Kabatamashi, but I could not find him. I then saw a blue-ish aura come up into the air. I teleported to it, and saw Kabatamashi absorbing the aura. By the time I went in to attack him, he had absorbed every last bit of the aura. I knew this would be the end of the world if I had not stopped him. “Tsuyoi, I am going to unlock my 5th stage and allow you to use it. BUT the cost is most of your energy, which will hospitalize you… and maybe even kill you,” Ichiki said. I then said, “Whatever it takes to stop Kabatamshi.” So Icihki gave me stage 5 of her energy spirit. I felt so powerful, and this combined with my eyes must be able to stop Kabatamashi. I used a darkness ball on Kabatamashi, and it hit him right in the face. I then teleported behind him and used a light ball and hit his back. He seemed as if he did not feel it though. Kabatamashi then said, “HAHAHAHAHA! Did you REALLY think that would work? I have unlimited power, for christ sake!” He then used a powerful beam to push me. I fell down, and knew I could not fight Kabatamashi. Ichiki then said, “Look, I know how to stop him! I will exit your body, go into his, then take all the energy from his body. The only problem is I do not possess your eye, so I will die from obtaining too much power.” I then said, “No Ichiki, I cannot let you die because of a foolish mistake I made!” But she did not listen. She went out of my body and into Kabatamashi’s. He then said, “It looks like your little friend joined my side. Now, I will become more powerful!” Just as he said that, he was being drained of energy and said, “Wha- what’s going on? Why does it feel like I am losing my power?” Then Ichiki went out of Kabatamashi’s body, with all the unlimited power. She said, “I took all the power. Now you’re defeated. Although it cost my life, I saved the world. I am sorry Tsuyoi, it was the only way.” She then faded into thin air. I was crying, and I was super furious that Kabatamashi was the reason Ichiki died, when I barely got to know her. I charged at Kabatamashi and tackled him down. He was too weak to get up. I tried taking my other eye back, but he teleported away. There was nothing I could do about it other than train and hope to meet him soon again. I went back home, sad that I lost Ichiki. She was also a big part of my success, because she had a huge chunk of energy that I also had, so without her I would not be as powerful as I was before. When I came home, my parents were relieved to see I made it home. My dad said, “Son, we're so glad you’re okay! We saw that blue aura beam up into the sky, and we were worried about you! Wait, why is your eye activated, but the other one is normal? What happened…?” I then said, “I don’t wanna talk about it, I just wanna go to bed."
