It had been a long few weeks for kenyari. Through a series of fights and bouts to long days and nights training with his beast companion uzziah when he could. Kenyari tried to work in as much training as possible but he found himself too busy with fights to really get a good old fashion work out in.

This was the first day that he was able to get a good training in a very long time. He trained from sun rise to nightfall with uzziah. He trained this way for three days straight. The entire time while he trained though he would always feel something waiting to burst out of him. It had been that way ever since the first time he fought a man which he called Az. Az had pushed his anger limits like nobody else ever had and ever since it always felt like a beast was in him waiting to be let out.

Kenyari woke up the next day to the drool of uzziah running down his face like it had rained a few moments before. "Time to continue our training huh" he said as he grunted and sat up wiping the drool from off his face. Kenyari had set up his small training place with mini tree stumps everywhere. The tree stumps served as "little training men" as he would call it. He used them to work on his technique, fighting stances, and strike positions. When kenyari trained he liked to make sure he was not wasting his time.

Kenyari stood up as he grabbed his sword. His sword had been used ever since the first day he got it but it still looked as if it had only aged a bit. Kenyari looked around at the beat up and tattered and burnt training dummies. After three days it already looked like he needed rebuild his training arena. There was still small scattered fires from when uzziah was practicing with his fire breathing skills, which he started to get really good at. Kenyari sighed as he put on his cloak and looked up into the sky. The sky was an odd color that day. Not really blue. It looked almost red. Kenyari shook his head as that was a sign of something bad to come. He picked up his sword and walked a few steps towards the training grounds. "Uzziah go scout and get some more wood. Time to rebuild this" he told his beast companion. Uzziah answered with a roar and in a flash jumped high into the trees. The whole time he stood watching the field the feeling that something deep and dark was going to erupt from him came back. It was only a matter of time.

After a few days of leaving the camp after his event of wings, he returned to the training arena to train a little more with his wings. They were something he couldn't train with in the open like in the woods or in the city. Too much attention would be drawn to him. Though the training arena had people there, they were all there for the same purpose, and he fit right in.

Not flying to the arena, he walked instead. As he approached, he saw that it was practically in ruins and almost deserted. The only person he saw was a recent enemy of his, Kenyari. He lost their last battle, and didn't plan on a replay of last time. Then again, he didn't plan on seeing him again for a long time. Whatever. The sooner the better really.

As he got closer, he heard Ken say to his familiar to go get some wood to rebuild, and found it pointless. If the two were going to fight, it should wait and the both of them could rebuild it if it called for that much damage. Well, at least Az would, and it seemed like Ken would too. He came up to him and said, "Let it wait until we're done." He said it challengingly, standing 10 feet away. His wings were retracted at the moment, waiting to be broken out and flaunted basically. And he knew he was going to have an advantage with them.

He had a subtly different appearance. He didn't change dramatically, but his posture had straightened out a little bit, and his build even got slightly bigger or more toned out. The look in his pure black demon eyes became more determined, and his facial expression hardened and became ever more stoic and strong.

Kenyari heard a familiar voice behind him and wondered if it was who he thought. Kenyari kept a grip on his sword tightly as he turned around slowly to see who it was behind him. Kenyari backed up one step after he had realized who it was. It was az. The man he had completely beat in the last fight already fully healed. Plus something else. He looked a bit stronger and more confident. He looked as if he had changed since the few days that had gone by since they fought.

“Its been what seven or eight days since our fight” kenyari said gruffly. Kenyari closed his eyes and lowered his head as the thought of how badly he beat him popped up in his mind again. Kenyari opened his eyes slowly as he let out a small sigh. This man Az wanted another fight after losing the first one. “I have to admire your spirit. You kept coming back then in that fight and even after it’s over you still want more” he said in a low tone.

Kenyari was not the type to hold grudges on everybody. Only a selected few had the honor of being held on his grudge list. Kenyari backed up two more steps breathing lightly as the cool morning wind brushed against his face and rustled his long black hair. Kenyari looked back at the man with a smile. Kenyari did not hate this man. Kenyari actually liked him for his spirit and confidence. “Most people don’t come back looking for rematches so quickly. You have. I like you. You have the makings of a very fine warrior about you.” He said as he looked up into the sky.

The tree leaves were moving lightly in the breeze making light rustling sounds. Kenyari looked back at Az with a smile. The first time they fought it was for a test. “So this fight is just a friendly rematch I presume” asked kenyari. Kenyari didn’t want to turn this into a negative blood bath of a fight for he saw a good alliance amongst the two of them. He wanted the rematch to be just a friendly duel amongst, not leave them hating each other for all eternity.

He shrugged at Ken inquiry with a smirk. "It can be whatever you want it to be. Its just a rematch for me. Simple as that." He said. He didn't find it friendly, nor did he find it vengeful. He just wanted a rematch, and someone that could fight well that could put up a challenge with his new wings. Ken could call it whatever he wanted, but a friendly fight sounded nice knowing they weren't going to tear each other apart.

He then sprouted his wings as he stood there. The full 6 foot demon looking wings came out of his back and shot straight up in a total flaunt, and came down to blow wind in all directions. He flapped them a couple times to get them a little loosened up, and rested them behind him. "Be cautious now, I'm fast." He said with a twitch of his eyebrows. He then leaned forward, threw up his wings and flung them down, launching himself forward at an incredible speed. as he approached, he pulled up his feet and launched them out in a drop kick towards Ken's chest. He didn't know how much better Ken got himself, but he hoped he could make a new impression.

Kenyari squinted his eyes as the wind from Az's newly formed wings. "Nice wings" kenyari chuckled to himself. It wouldn’t be the first time he fought someone with wings and from the looks of it it wouldn’t be his last. Kenyari was just about to mutter something when he saw Az come rushing towards him at speeds faster then what he saw at their last fight. Kenyari quickly braced himself as he put his arms in a quick "x" shape pattern as the kick landed hard in the middle of his arms.

Kenyari flipped backwards through the force of the kick. Kenyari figured that the wings gave him the added thrust. KEnyari quickly drew his sword as he tried not to lose his temper so quickly. -this may be difficult- he thought to himself as he looked at the very long wings of az.

Kenyari lowered his body into a defensive state as he had thrown his sword to the ground. He decided to fight with fists this time and not swords. Kenyari knew that he would have to fight smarter this fight fore he knew with the speed of az one slip up could mean the end of this fight rather quickly.

"Teleport" he said quickly as he re appeared behind az. Kenyari rotated his body in a very fast 360 degree rotation as he aimed a kick for the back of az right at the end of the turn. Kenyari kept his arms up in a manner that could fend him off against counter strikes but he wondered how much use it would be with this new found speed of Az. The whole time this was going on Kentari held something inside that was deep and dark. The fight got his adrenalin pumping and it also got something inside of him stirred up and want out but he fought against it.

Az took the recoil of Ken's block to throw himself into a backflip, and land on the ground sliding back a few feet. As he landed he saw Ken did the same thing as he landed at the same time. Seeing the sword was drawn again, he grinned and got himself in his own low back stance, his wings propped up. It gave him a sinister look, and from there they easily could give him more force in his actions. He knew he had the upper hand at the moment, and was going to take every advantage of it.

Suddenly noticing that Ken disappeared, he listened until he reappeared again. He didn't have to wait long at all. He heard the rushing wind of a fast oncoming kick behind him. Having another cool advantage, he slammed one of his wings down into Ken's leg to block it, and spun around to come around with another kick, this time it being a roundhouse kick. As soon as he felt his kick pass over the spot where Ken's face should be, he flapped his wings hard, sending him backwards a few yards to get away, guerilla warfare style. Landing again, he slid a few more feet and stopped in another low back stance with his guard up and out. He may have felt his kick pass the spot, but he didn't know if it made contact. There was only one way to find out.

Kenyari as halfway through the turn when the long wings of Az stopped him short. The wings had stopped his rotation and utterly stopped his entire attack. Kenyari then had soon noticed that Az was launching a roundhouse towards his face. Kenyari quickly put his forearm up blocking the attack but being completely thrown to the ground from the force of Az's kick alone.

Kenyari hit the ground with a loud thud. Kenyari had been losing in a fight before but if the fight keeps up like this he would lose completely without even getting one hit on the guy. Kenyari snarled as he saw az land. He took that as a major insult. Kenyari got up to a standing position as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

Kenyari looked deeply at the Az as he flapped his wings. Kenyari tensed up as anger started to overwhelm and overcome him. "blur" kenyari whispered. Kenyari let out a small chuckle to himself as he started running towards az. He was faster than what he normally was thanks to his spell. Kenyari got halfway towards Az running full speed as he jumped into the air. Kenyari was moving at very high speeds as aimed his attack at the chest of Az. Kenyari was starting to slip out of control of himself through frustration of feeling helpless. He wanted to torment Az like he had last time but for some reason this new found power in Az stopped kenyari from doing everything. Kenyari felt as if he had already lost this battle.

Az saw this move last time he faught Ken, and wasn't going to fail to it again. Last time he got smothered by it, only because he couldn't see it. Knowing what it was fast, he thought of a solution fast. If he couldn't see it, he needed to be able to hear it. Seeing only half of the blur, he closed his eyes, and wated for a signal.

He didn't have to wait long. The increase speed threw Az's timing off only slightly, but Az adjusted quickly. He heard rushing air coming at him quickly, and it was coming from above. He didn't quite expect that either, but he knew he could get out of it. Still having his eyes closed, he listened until the blurred kick got too close and flung his hands to his chest, standing up in the process. He clamped his hands around Ken ankle, catching the kick. The force of his kick though caused Az to slide back a few inches, but Az maintained forward force to keep balance.

Once the energy was gone and Ken about to fall, he twisted Ken's leg. If Ken was really fast, he'd throw himself into a barrel roll to prevent his leg from twisting out of the socket. If had never fought Ken before, he would have been hit, even with his newfound speed. But now he knew most of his tricks, and could quickly adapt.

Kenyari quickly felt the force behind his kick fade but the spell blur was still active. Az had completely grabbed his leg mid air and stopped his attacked. Az had also decided to twist kenyari's leg. Kenyari quickly mustered up enough to move his body in the direction Az was triting his leg. With blur still active he turned quickly while still in the hands of Az but threw his leg up at the end of the very fast rotation for a back hand heel kick towards the side of the face of az.

His rotation had broke kenyari free from the grip of Az but weither the kick had landed or not he didn’t know. Kenyari was still in close enough range to where he could launch attacks that were very fast thanks to the sill active blur skill. Kenyari launched himself verticly into the air and did a very fast round house kick. The effect of blur made his attack faster and the force behind it would shatter the jaw bone of a normal untrained fighter. Kenyari quickly followed up with two more of the same kicks as he then finished it off with a leg drop aimed at the top of Az's head.

Kenyari knew he would have to fight very different in this fight if he wanted any chance to win. Kenyari tried to clear his mind of the frustrations that he was undergoing but the harder he tried the more anger was brought to him. He wanted the anger to stop but it was hard for him to let it all go. Kenyari fights best when angry and part of him wanted to unleash it in full and the other half wanted to fight clear headed. Either way he fought he would have to change everything about the way he fought so that he could beat Az this time around.

Az kept his eyes closed the whole time until he was sure Ken's blur spell had worn off. And it hadn't yet. He knew Ken's spin put him out of his grasp, and left his open for a kick. He heard an extension of Ken's body rushing out towards his head, and it sounded like a kick to the likes of it. He took a small step back, and brought up his forearm to block it, and managed to block it. He felt it back off, and heard another set of three come at him.

For each kick he put up a forearm and blocked each one of the side of his face. Right after the third one he felt a longer pause and noticed a kick coming from above. Taking that split second timing and ducked low and thrusted his wings behind him. It sent him flying under Ken, then he switched his direction with another quick flap of wings, propelling upwards a few feet just behind Ken. In the air he threw himself into a front flip and came down with him own axe kick to Ken's head.

Az, being an experienced fighter, expected nothing less of this fight. He knew Ken had tricks, and a lot of them were old tricks in the book that Az had progessed long before now. Now that he had wings, Az could pull out better tricks than before, and even modify a few. He didn't know why he couldn't win last time, since the only thing different about this fight was that Ken wasn't using his sword, and the terrain was easier to fight on. Must have been a bad day, but he still lost. And he didn't plan on losing this one.

Each attack that kenyari threw at az missed or was blocked. Kenyari had been a great fighter but without wings of his own there was no way to physically match the speed of az. Az had another advantage to kenyari, He could fly high into the air costing kenyari more energy just to match his amplitude in the air. Kenyari saw this as Az having the upper hand since he had wings which kenyari saw as a major disadvantage.

Kenyari was growing more and more angry with each passing miss of highly planned strikes. The strikes would have more than likely been able to shatter Az’s jaw if they had connected. Kenyari had mixed equal brains to his physical prowls but Az prevailed simply because of the added speed with his wings. Kenyari could throw punches all day but until he could match az in speed and technicality then the match would be in the hands of az.

Kenyari refused to give in as he let out a loud roar but was cut short when he noticed Az had flew above him for an attack. Without thinking twice kenyari quickly rolled out of the way of the attack easily. Kenyari could fight just as good if not better than kenyari but the speed factor was always something.

Suddenly an idea popped into Kenyari’s head. The answer had been in front of him the entire time. Kenyari smirked as he stood back up to his feet. “You are stronger than me because you are faster than me. What happens when you lose most of your physical strength, speed, and other things? What do you become.” He said boastfully as he let out a slight laugh. “Weaken” he said. Weaken was a spell that would lower Az’s speed, strength, stamina, and dexterity. “Unlike most of my skills you will see that this spell does not need me to touch you for the effects it has. You feel the effects of the spell in a few seconds of the mere uttarence of the spell” he laughed as he had finally figured out a way pasts Az’s strong speedy defense.

Kenyari was still frustrated at how Az wouldn’t take a single hit but he turned his frustration into a deep concentration. His anger still present he rushed in towards az. Blur was still effective but it wouldn’t only last a few more seconds. –all I need- he thought to himself as he jumped into the air. Kenyari did a front flip followed by a four hit bicycle kick aimed for the chest of az finished off with a whirlwind kick aimed for the side of Az’s jaw. Kenyari’s blur spell wore off right after the final attack but it was all he would need at the moment thanks to the spell weaken. If az managed to dodge it wouldn’t matter for the effects would still be there and kenyari could still act upon that. Kenyari managed to make a heavy turn around offensive with just one spell. Now all he would have to do is connect these chain of hits and follow through with it and the match will be taken to new heights.

His axe kick kept swinging after its predicted damage point, and made contact with the ground, breaking the ground in a small radius. He stood up and watched for Ken's next move, expecting more of his blurry kicks coming straight for his head. But, instead, he got a spell....

Az sudden felt like lead. His wings were hard to raise, he wanted to sit down, he had a protein craving then too. Ken's weaken spell worked, and pretty good at that. He almost fell back and stepped back in reflexes into a backstance. It was bent out of shape as Az used more energy to maintain the stance. He started using his smarts again, finding that his wings just added weight with theit 6 foot range. So, he retracted them, making things a little easier, but still felt like lead. His stance improved slightly, but was still hard to maintain.

Then Ken came at him again, still just a blur. Knowing he wouldn't be able to block anything, he let the hits come on his chest, throwing him back. It hurt a lot, and he just laid there on the ground, waiting for the spell's effect to wear off. He could take a beating, and knew Ken couldn't last forever when the spell wore off.

He stood up shakily, watching Ken with a hard look. As soon as he had his strength back, he would go all out, no matter what Ken had in store again.

Kenyari’s blur went out but not before it took its toll. Kenyari’s hit right on point and Az did nothing to try to counter. Az didn’t even move when he saw kenyari coming. He stood there and became the personal punching bag for Kenyari. Kenyari smiled as the big offensive break that he has been wanting this entire fight finally reared into play and gave the opportunity he needed to end this fight.

Kenyari guessed that Az would do nothing to try to stop any of the attacks that he would throw so he figured he would take advantage of the good situation. Kenyari charged at Az as carefully watching seeing if he would do nothing to try to defend but when he saw he didn’t kenyari let out a loud resounding roar as he charged in with a heavy punch aimed for the face. Kenyari quickly followed up with a rising knee to the chin of Az followed by a hard elbow to the nose of Az.

The body of az rolled as he took each and every blow. Kenyari had also just noticed that his wings had retracted but he didn’t worry too much on it. He walked slowly to the downed body of Az. -If things keep up like this the fight might be over rather soon- thought kenyari. Kenyari then aimed a kick for the stomache of the downed Az. Kenyari was releasing his anger and frustrations on the body of Az as a rush of confidence overwhelmed kenyari.

“Thought I would be easy” he said mockingly as he backed away a few feet from Az. Kenyari then rushed in for one more kick as he sat down on a small tree stump behind him. Kenyari wanted a challenge but he saw this as a chance to even the odds a bit but kenyari was not going to completely destroy him like this. Kenyari had a sudden change of heart. The arrogance of him made kenyari want to wait until the spell was over and then destroy him. Just to show him who the better fighter really was. Kenyari sat down on the stump and looked into the trees. “Dark regeneration” he said as a dark mist crept from his mouth surrounding his body. The dark mist healed any minor cut, bruise, or gash that he had suffered so far making him in an even better shape to fight. Kenyari waited patiently until the spell wore off. Only way he would know is when Az decided to stand back up and try to keep going.

Az took the hits, letting his body be toyed with until the spell wore off. He didn't really feel the hits, since turning off his body also meant turning off his mind. He laid on the ground, waiting for his body to feel full with life and strength again, and it came soon. As soon as he felt as if he could stand up, he snapped up to a standing position, ready to go again. And now that his mind was up and going, he felt the tingling after effects of the blows. It felt good.

Not bringing out his wings again, he charged at Ken again. He was still fast, just not quite as fast as with the added boost from his wings. He came with a fist raised at his head, and let fly with it as he came near aimed at his head. "Round 2 buddy." He called as he approached. "Time for me to take control again." He suspected that it might be a repeat of last time without his wings, but he still knew how to take hold of the fight even without his new wings.

His new speed from his wings helped him with his training a little bit. His reflexes had to be faster than before in order to react to the immense speed, and now everything felt slow without them, making it easier for his mind to react to it.

Kenyari smiled as the weaken spell finally wore off. Kenyari stood up as he watched Az stand to his feet as well. Az seemed to be bursting with more vigor than last time as if he was not even effected by the spell a few seconds ago. Kenyari brushed it off as he stopped his dark regeneration spell. The black mist that surrounded his body faded quickly. Kenyari seemed ready to take this fight to another level and from the way Az had started running towards him he seemed ready to take it up too.

Kenyari waited patiently as he wanted Az to get closer to him. Kenyari was a good solid fighter when he used his head rather than his anger and he decided to rely on his head and make clear decisions to take this fight home as a victory. Kenyari waited a few seconds more as he finaly acted. He charged towards Az matching his speed quickly. Kenyari lifted his left hand up as he quickly knocked down Az’s punch. Kenyari then followed up with a right hand hook aimed for the bottom portion of Az’s jaw. Kenyari then jumped into the air rotating quickly in a 360 degree turn as he brought his leg down for a heavy leg drop aimed for the side of az’s neck.

Weather the attack landed or not it was still a good lead off attack for the combinations that Kenyari was planning. Kenyari could be a hell of a tactics person, if he used his head more often and he was about to prove it. He was about to show that he had already planned out the next few moves in this fight and defeat Az .

Az took his momentum that was pushed into his punch punched down and threw it into a spin, putting his back again Ken. Before he looked away he saw the right hook coming and put up his right arm and blocked it. He felt the punch move away from his block and quickly knelt down onto one knee looking up. And just in time, seeing the kick coming down for him. He flung up his arms in a crossed arm block and caught it.

Thrusting up with his arms, he spun the rest of his body on his down knee a 180 degree turn to face him. He bent over and planted his hands on the ground under Ken's body in the air and flipped himself into a handstand. From the handstand he put up a kick aimed straight up Ken while he was still in the air. If it was to hit, Az would have held Ken there in perfect balance until one of the moved to get out of the hold.

Kenyari saw Az take a handstand position but it was too late for kenyari as he landed onto Az’s foot with the middle of his leg. The force of kenyari hitting his leg on Az was close to bone breaking. Kenyari rolled off of the leg and rolled two more times on the ground gaining some distance from Az. Kenyari had hurt his leg but it was not too serious and he would be able to keep going just as hard as he had been.

Kenyari quickly rose up as he thought about something to do while Az was in his small handstand. Suddenly he thought of something. “Crimson lightning” he called out. He pointed his finger not at Az but next to the ground right by his head as a distraction. He then ran up to Az at fast speeds. Kenyari aimed a small kick aimed for the back of Az. Then kenyari knelt down and turned quickly letting out a leg sweep followed by a rising upper cut and lastly ended with a round house aimed for the chest of Az. Kenyari had planned a bunch of prep attacks as he tried to draw out Az for some of the more brutal attacks.

Ken moved after he was kicked by Az, and Az finished through the kick with a handspring, and just in time as Ken's Crimson Lightning attack just missed his head. "Ahh!" He yelped a little as it surprised him a little. His yelp not only meant surprise, but also relaxation. He kept himself relaxed as he fought, since tenseness kept him from being flexible. He didn't know it was intended not to hit him, but Az took it that way.

Az landed on his feet with his back to Ken, and felt a kick land on his back. He stepped forward and bent forward to absord the blow, feeling his spine crackle and pop a few times. Then a sweep kick caught his back leg, causing him to fall to the side. An uppercut sent him back into the air spinning. Thinking fast, he used the spin to bring his chest to face Ken, and throw his own uppercut. His uppercut knocked Ken's kick up out of the way, and let his fall take effect. He landed on the ground in a crouching position, then launched himself into a barrell roll.

In the barrell roll he threw his legs up and around towards Ken's head in the air with both feet together. He went through with it, hit or miss, landing on both feet, back to Ken. With the force still in motion, he snapped out with a backfist to Ken's face. He followed up by pivoting his body towards Ken, moving down into a low front stance and throwing a punch to his gut, hard fast and accurate.

Kenyari watched as the kick from Az’s barrel roll completely hit nothing. Maybe it was a misjudgment or maybe a feint attack. Kenyari closed his eyes as he fell to the ground with a soft thud. He reopen his eyes only to see Az had launched a punch. Kenyari tried to reach his hand up and block it with his fore arm but it was futile. The attack was too close to block and kenyari took the hit directly in the lower part of his jaw. The punch sent kenyari into a small 360 degree spin. Kenyari stopped, feeling the daze of the aftershock of the hit as he looked at az. Suddenly a fist crashed heavily into the stomach area of kenyari’s body. Kenyari fell to the ground as he coughed up a bit of blood trying to keep from choking on it as t came up.

The hit to his stomach was a direct and crushing blow. Kenyari lowered his head as he tried to drown out the pain from the two heavy hits he just encountered. Kenyari smiled slightly as the anger in him swelled. He was losing himself in his anger. No longer thinking about fighting tactical to win he was thinking more on how to brutally maul this man. Kenyari’s eyes turned black as they normally do when he gets mad but this time was like no other. His eyes’ turning black this time around was a sign of what evil was inside of him and wanted out so very bad.

Kenyari stood back to his feet staggering to get up. Once he was finally fully on his feet he jumped back a few feet as he looked at Az with a new found anger inside of him. This anger inside of him felt like a beast was waiting to be let loose and he didn’t start feeling it until the day he nearly killed his own brother in combat. He had gained something horrible that he didn’t know about yet that would soon want out more than ever.

Kenyari looked around as the time felt like it was rolling by slowly. The cold chill of a breeze swept by as it ran up the spine of kenyari. Kenyari quickly acted as he ran forward towards Az. Kenyari knew not to just go in head on anymore because that what gets him hurt but rather do some tricks. "Teleport” he said as he instantly appeared above Az. He lowered himself with a falling quick to the top of the head of Az. Hit or miss he didn’t care. He was in a blinded fury. After the kick he launched two punches aimed for the top part of az’s body and a jumping round house kick. When he did the kick He jumped into the air and kept both legs together as he turned his body in a 360 degree rotation. He ended his combo with a heavy punch towards the upper body of Az.
