The Ancient One and Training

*February 2004, Knight Mansion*

It has been a month since since I turned 10. It seems sometime ago the news of my awakening got to the media and they started to ask for interviews. It had turned so bad that I had to ask Oracle to create nanites to lay the mansion with traps and security. Tony really pestered me because of it and I ended up giving him some plans but made him promise only to use at his own home and not for sale.

Obadiah Stane did not like this one bit and kept pestering Tony to weaponize it after seeing it once. Thankfully Tony told he himself made them rather than using my name and also started to have doubts toward him.

The Storm siblings managed to graduate and are working with Reed Richards himself under, of course, Victor Von Doom. I met Reed when he came with Sue and Johnny for the graduation party which I let host at my mansion since Doomy had to go to his home country for something. What? I have no hand in what happened in Latveria. Sooo he missed the party begrudgingly and went back, perfect for me to meet Reed without Doom around.

We hit of pretty well since he met a kid who could somewhat understand his work and question him back. Johnny just called us nerds, but whatever. He doesn't understand the beauty of portals. Reed had the same opinion as me. Sue had a weird face watching us nod in understanding.

Anyway it is time for them to get powered up, I have no way to integrate cosmic energy in me due to elemental body. Still looking for ways to harvest it though. Suddenly behind me in the study someone spoke to me startling me

"It's nice to finally meet you Alexander Knight, chosen of Gaia", spoke the strongest human on Earth standing in front of me in all her bald glory.

"It's an honor to meet you too Ancient One, please just call me Alex" I said.

Suddenly Alfred comes in with 2 cups of tea and gives it to both me an TAO, while I just stare at him as if he just grew a second brain. Like HOW??

"My apologies to not coming sooner but some demons managed to sneak in so I had to handle them myself. I met and told Sir. Alfred I will be coming today. As for your training, you have to finish all language books behind you after which I will take you to learn to channel Dimensional and elemental energy you possess, along with your willpower. Your combat training will take place when you learn everything, so I will take my break for now and return when you have finished the languages"

I turn around to find out stack of grimoire like books and turn back to find her gone. Then I turn towards Alfred with a raised eyebrow, to which he replied, "You kept a secret from me and I kept one from you, now we are even." and he walked out. I just sighed the turned around excitedly for my TRAINING ARC BEGINSSS!!!

*Timeskip no jutsu, 3 year later*

Slave Drivers. That's the one word I would use for Ancient one, Mordo as well as Wong. My study in mystic arts was very fast because of both menu and elemental body. So they decided to push me to my limits and here I am.

Though all the training and learning really did pay off.

I was now very good at both, channeling dimensional energy and speed casting. I absolutely love Mirror Dimension. The sling Rings were an extension of Time stone so there was no way to replicate them. My martial arts training with Mordo constantly beating me up made me quite durable. My muscles were like that of Captain America. The bigger the strain taken, the stronger it gets when healed. I still call it child abuse. I am 13 for Gaia's sake.

My chi training with Wong was the most lenient because it was literally life energy and bioelectricity manipulation. It still took me 2 months to get a good base and it was still not nearly enough as Wong or Mordo, but my learning speed was Quite fast for my peers. Cheat body for life. Elemental energy took a while but when I found it in me, It felt like a dam which was holding back water just burst in me. It took me two whole days of meditation to just control it. About a year to finally learn. It was September 2005 when I became good enough at controlling all my energies. My body also kept evolving in the strength department, so I had placed seals on myself to keep my energy and power levels a certain barrier, which could be opened when required. It was a new spell I created and TAO was impressed as placing a similar seal on others could prove useful in a fight.

I finally became a master of mystic arts. The Ancient One agreed that it was time for me to completely connect to the Twilight Realm. She opened a portal in the mirror dimension and I followed. Lo and behold, I was at SHIELD's Pegasus branch, where the Tesseract was kept.

Apparently due to Twilight realm I could hypothetically control space but it was the hardest to learn, so she brought me here to harvest space energy which would be filtered out with multiple spells. She was using a very small amount of time energy to accelerate the process as well as the mirror dimension was unstable around the tesseract. I started meditating to absorb the energies and after a while I found myself in a beautiful realm. It was littered with stars like jewels complementing the dark night sky. The Twilight Realm. I almost went into shock when I saw the owner of the realm. It was Midna from Legend of Zelda twilight Princess. She found my expression amusing telling me my poker face broke. Poker face sensei, why did you abandon me?. Oracle was laughing it out at my inner monologue. She was a godsend and helped me a lot in my studies and practice. Midna gave me a permanent connection with the the task of entertaining her in the overworld. Well, that was the plan anyways.

When I woke up I found my connecting to both light illuminating the room and shadows in the corners. But what got my attention the most was the Tesseract. It looked like it was calling to me but Oracle managed to snap me out of temptation. I analyzed my surroundings and found TAO surprised I managed to stop myself but I told her it was Oracle. She nodded in understanding. The scientist outside the mirror dimension were panicking all over the place because the found Tesseract leaking energy on their equipment but couldn't stop it. Even the the pirate kin-AHEM, I mean, the badass spy of spies Fury was here staring into the tesseract as if he would make a hole in it. I laughed and just took a pic of him and left with master.

The next 2 months I spent connecting to my powers and mastered many elements in it. What I did have problems with was using them in tandem because even my energy reserves start to run low. So we decided to absorb energy from the solar flare that will pass earth. My light armor negated the heat in space because of the sun while my connection to earth was giving me a constant oxygen supply.

Sue and Reed were with Doom in the control room. Yea, everything about him screams bad guy. The way he looks at her seems more like obsession if anything. I really wanted to punch him in the face. Huh, wonder if Johnny ever did it before. I'll ask later. Johnny was in the exit hatch while Ben was doing some maintenance when suddenly the cosmic storm appeared. I really wanted to save Ben but somethings were necessary to happen. I already got permission to help him after the events of the first movie so I just closed my eyes and focused on absorbing as much energy as I can get.

First I felt like my whole body was burning, but casually my inner energy came forth and started devouring it greedily while I circulated it around for better control. It took 2 minutes for the storm to pass but it felt like hours. Master managed to whisk me back to earth on a magic circle where I meditated for about a week to completely turn that energy mine.

Because of the increase in my internal energy, my bigger spells started having problems in control so I spent about another half a year learning control. During this time The F4 finally learned of their powers and Reed was helping them control it. The whole accident on bridge happened and they were seen as heroes. Ben was not happy with it and Doom tricked him to giving him his power and neutralizing everyone else but they managed to stop him turning him into a living statue.

Both the US govt. and SHIELD tried to get them under their wing but failed. Fury was able to get Coulson sign them a treaty to help them in some cases. At that time I got my clone to get to India, by a private flight of course. Being rich has it's perks. That flight was supposedly purchased from airbus but I completely modified it in the null void to make it one hell of a plane. This one would work as a carrier.

So because of that Sue and Johnny couldn't meet me and agreed to meet once I came back.

It is now the end of February 2007. I was able to complete my course to become one of the top sorcerers. Even though I was like a cheat in this department, they still treated me with respect of a master than jealousy and I respected every single one of them for their experience and valuable lessons I learned from them. There was one important lesson I did learn under them.... All sorcerers are slave drivers!!

Anyway I am to leave Kamar Taj today back home. I am to only called upon if necessary. I have grown a lot here. Both mentally and physically. It was 1 and a 1/2 year ago I killed someone for the first time. The horrible scene of sacrifices and the blunt of killing the dark practitioner was depressing. I had nightmares about it for the month. Not being able to save them and being weak enough to only resort to kill. This was my first time seeing the dark side of this world.

But by the support of my teachers, Alfred and Oracle I finally overcame it . Oracle showed how both my gamers mind and power of will had strengthened.

The Antient One agreed I was finally ready and took me to the sanctuary where all magical items are stored.

"All magical items chose their masters themselves. Spread your energy and find one that suits you."

I spread my energy calmly looking for an reaction when I suddenly found a strong one and apparently it came flying at me. I caught it midair to see a sword with a blood red color with blackish tint, with many symbols engraved emitting light energy.

"It really is the best one to suit you. That's the sword of souls, it can emit both light and dark magic. It's main specialties are it's edge that can cut through space, a magical poison that can fit your needs as you wish and it can coat itself with hellfire. Be careful while handling the hellfire. It's name is 'dark moon'. I suggest you use the cave in the back to synchronize with it for a while."

I took me about 3 days to understand dark moon, but the capability of this sword surprised me. It was as if it was made for me.

Suddenly the system rang

'*DING*'
