19 Awakening the Force Within

Throughout the entire week Pete was able to advance just a bit further in his training. Though he had dug a pit that was 7 feet deep, through the corse thick soil, had to 30 more feet. He continued doing push ups and was able to accomplish his weekly goal, that goal was to do 10 push ups and beyond. He was able to complete all 10 pulls and reached 20 minutes approximately of doing a horse stance. During the course of the week Viper did as Yung Fu adviced her to, she stop transferring her chi to increase his health stature.

The Following day

Kuhn Lau and Pete went to the bank river where Yung Fu took him a week ago, Kuhn Lau then sat down on a beach of smooth, white pebble stones. He crossed his legs as both of his feet reached for his thighs. Pete squanited his eyes when he fell into this posture. "What are you doing?" Kuhn Lau raised his glance at him answered his inquiry. "Waiting for you to join me." He was hesitant, though he joined in the posture by crossing her legs and placed his feet on his thighs. "This is the next phase of your training. The core function is to enhance your chi further, to point where it awakens from its slumber and physically manifests itself." "Oh? How though?" "When one practices Kung Fu, it is not only vital for them to focus on combat utility, but it is vital that they groom their chi. In doing this, not only will they be powerful with technicality but so more internally. One will find immunity against hazardous diseases and sicknesses. Yung Fu said that Viper will no longer transfer her chi to you. Therefore it is now your responsibility that your groom your chi and allow to flow around your body freely without the stoppage of outflows." "Kuhn Lau what are outflows?" "Outflows Pete are intangible road blocks inside of you that block your chi from flowing all around your body. An example of intangible road blocks includes hormonal imbalance like depression, anxiety, excessive rage, chronic stress and many other emotional factors."

Kuhn Lau's words struck him with a blow of genuiness. He let out a sigh and said, "I fall under that category don't I?" Kuhn Lau turned to him and said, "Not until you let go of the past and self exonerate." He looked down as a tear drizzled for his eye. "Pete the deaths of Bianca and your father lye not in your grasp. As long as you continue to hold yourself responsible for their demises, then shall you keep living in a pit of grief. Its time for you to forgive yourself and focus on building a new you." He nodded in agreement and said, "you are right. I cannot shackle myself because of their demises. Its time I chose to leave the past behind me and focus on starting a new chapter afresh." Kuhn Lau placed his hand on his back and gently rubbed it. "Lets move forward shall we." He nodded in agreement and awaited for his instruction. "Rest your hands on your hands on your knees, with your palms facing upward. Then bring your hands into Gyan Mudra." He did as he was instructed and joined both of his index fingers with his thumbs. He then extended his fingers while ensuring that stuck close to one another.

"Close your eyes and breathe..." He closed his eyelids and directed his concentration towards the flow of his breath. He slowly inhaled air and expelled it. He kept this process constant for 30 more consecutive seconds, in doing so his body responded greatly at this process, enabling him to hear the utter pump of his heart. The endless beat of a vein pumping on the top right side of his head. He acquired tranquility as his mind began to stray away from his physical environment. Suddenly his mind regulated unwanted though processes.

Flash Back

Slicer sauntered towards them ( Pete and Bianca) take the necessary time just as to prolong their fears. "Peter Xavier Atkinson," said Slicer. "Whats it to you?" "I believe you have treasured something valuable Mr Atkinson." "Look! I have no idea what you are talking about?" Slicer aimed the sword at them. "Fine! Have it your way!" He propelled the sword towards him. Bianca responded by pushing him out of the way while the sword pierced through her body and attached her to the wall. "Bianca!" He yelled.

He then broke his concentration and opened his eyes. He was breathing heavily as his heart beat increased its speed magnificently. Kuhn Lau opened his eyes. "Pete whats wrong?" He crawled up to his feet, "I'm sorry Kuhn Lau I can't." Kuhn Lau grabbed his wrist and pulled him back down. "Speak to me, what is wrong?" He tried to calm himself, though at first it was difficult. He eventually found the keys to calming his nerves. "I'm sorry its not my fault. I tried to concentrate but... the mere memory of witnessing her death really daunts me." "Perhaps this is the first to step to forgiving yourself. Lets try this again. Confront your demons and embrace them, after all this is the first to healing and forgiving yourself." He nodded as he continued, "However do not let this be your focus during your mediation, focus on your breathing then the the thought will come on its own. And once it does Confront and close the page of this dreadful chapter." He crossed his legs once more and placed his feet on his thighs. He placed his hands on his knees and joined his index fingers with his thumbs. His palms were facing upward while his fingers stretched out further just aligning next to one another. And finally he closed his eyes and directed his concentration towards his breathing. After a minute of meditating his past started lingering from afar.

Flashback

Slicer propelled the sword towards him, Bianca pushed him out of the way as the sword struck her by piercing through her body and attaching her to the wall. "Bianca!" He yelled as blood dripped from the sword.

He started fidgeting, however he found the courage to continue forth his meditation up until his meditation was complete

2 hours later

He continued digging the pit with his left hand, keep in mind. His right hand was engulfed inside an arm brace. He was able to dig few more meters into the ground, though it would take an entire year to dig the well with his bare hands.

The following morning

Before breakfast Kuhn Lau and Pete progressed further with their training exercises. Before breakfast they began with another internal exercise whereby they both went back to the river bank at sat at a comfortable posture. Pete started shaking vigorously due to the intense temperature ascending to the orifices of his skin. He responded by embracing himself to sustain the warmth in him. He glanced at Kuhn Lau who moved not a single finger. "How come you don't feel cold." "I have reached a part of my training wherein I lack vulnerability towards temperatures and sicknesses," he responded with a gentle calm voice. "Are we going to meditate once more for this exercise?" "Nay we going to work on different exercise. The purpose of this exercise is to stabilize your health and protect you from any disease nor bacteria." He then scratched his hair and inquired, "But Kuhn Lau, it so happens that I'm not sick." "Even so Pete, doing this exercise invigorates your chi in ways that your mind cannot comprehend. For starters if this exercise is kept constant you will become invulnerable to all kinds of sickness and viruses. But for you are to partake in it to further heal your bruises and blisters." He nodded in agreement as he instructed him. "Now brace the starting section of your alimentary canal by chattering your teeth and swallowing any liquidity." He did as instructed while Kuhn Lau continued, "Now pronounce the 6 rules of the hieroglyphics which are as stated. HE,XU, HU, SI, CHUI and XI." He repeated the stated words but found difficulty in pronouncing a couple of words. "HE, Zu or Tu, Hu, SI, CHU and ZI," After pronouncing his words he scratchet his hair and let out a smile. Kuhn Lau gazed upon his eyes sternly and he felt humiliated afterwards. "Lets try this again. HE, XU, HU, SI, CHUI and XI." He repeated those words but thumbled upon his tongue. After 4 attempts he was able to pronounce the words. Then after they proceeded to breathing exercises whereby Pete had to channel his breathing techniques and concentrate on the them to enable his chi to flow further throughout his body. After indulging in breakfast he continued meditating for 20 minutes, he kept meditating at a total count of 7 times until it was it was dawn.

Throughout the week Pete partook in numerous breathing exercises before indulging in breakfast. He also meditated 7 times a day , daily. Not only did he invest his time with internal exercises as well as external exercises such as doing 50 push ups, 50 pull ups, 50 bench presses, 50 sit ups and jogging at a distance of 20km's. There was progress internally, although he still had the entire globe to journey aboard.

One Night

He returned to the river bank and removed his shirt, he placed his hands inside the current and cupped a portion of water from his hands and soaked his face. He reached out to the current once more and cupped out portion, he poured it on his hair. He then looked at his right hand (the hand he used to dig), all bruises and blisters were healed within a weak. "Whoa," he removed the arm band and the bandage wrapped around his entire arm. It was the same result, his arm was renewed and this referenced a butterfly that hatched out of its hideous cacoon. His arm was blissful and very youthful, it was as if all that digging had not fractured it before. He moved his left arm around with exetric energy as smile glistened from his face. He then brought his hand closer towards his eyes, he moved his fingers conveniently. He then clenched his fist and closed his eyes. He concentrated deeply on harnessing his chi. Kuhn Lau then appeared from behind just a kilometer away and watched from there with curiosity. After a couple of seconds harnessing his chi, he slowly opened his hand as a ball of energy floated from his palm. He slowly opened his palm as his eyeballs caught attention of the yellow glamor that shone from energy ball. "Is this what energy looks like? Its so benolvent." He then lost concentration as the ball faded away. "No no no! Great it seems as though that I have a long way to go." Kuhn Lau smiled from afar and walked away while he continued bathing.

Across the Multiverse

Death Wrath's Mother Ship

Slicer parked the scout ship inside the port, the port was situated on the 200th flour of the ship.He stepped outside the scout ship and took a step further, before him stood an army of troopers (The Dark Raiders). There were all rallied into one group, there over 1 000 of them. As soon as Slicer locked eyes with them, their knees kissed the floor and bowed their heads in return. Agent D.R.2, led the entire 999. He walked through his men and knealt before Slicer. "Commander Slicer, we are here before you gracefull presence." Slicer's right limb morphed into a sword, he tapped the edge of the sword above his head and said, "Agent D.R.2" He arose to his feet and spoke. "Lord Havoc has been awaiting, have you fulfilled your duty sir?" "Slicer's sword morphed back into his right limb and said, "Only weakling will fail to accomplish his mission. Now stand aside."

The Control Room

Slicer placed his knees on the floor before the great Havoc. Havoc was seated on Death Wrath's throne. The throne design was midly terryfying for a mortal to sit on. For who ever that sat on that throne and had not enough will would perish to dust. Havoc was 700cm's tall, he wore a black, heavy juggernaut armor. Slicer's average height measured up to his thighs. Since his entire armor covered his entire body, none knew of his identity behind the armor. He then addressed Slicer in a deep distorted voice while the Dark Raiders (1 000 troopers) surrounded. "Have you returned with the medallions?" "Yes Lord Havoc, I have them in grasp." He reached for his pockets and took them out. He opened his hands while the precious roundal glistened thorough through the screen of his helmet. "Now that I've proven my worth to you and the great Death Wrath. I humbly ask that you assign me with an armada so that I may follow in my breathens footsteps and become an Overlord." "Such determination, however to become an OverLord your power scale is still nothing but insimal. You are current at level 5-C. At full power, you only able to poverise a moon. You still have a long way to go." "I beg of you, I have proven myself after past flaws, should this not be justible enough as to groom to become an OverLord." Havoc then pointed his finger at him. "Thats your problem boy! Your flaws have cost you this opportunity therefore you will still have to wait another century awaiting until I groom you to reach an unstoppable power scale! Without wasting more time. The time has come wherein we welcome Death Wrath!

An hour Later

A sorcereress by the name of Melisandre was brought forth. She had long blue dreadlocks, and very enthralling at sight. The medallions were placed on the on floor in front of the throne while everyone else surrounded her from behind. Her eyes turned into an orange pigment, which this adventedly caused the medallions to levitate. While levitating they began to hover around in an orbit, then a powerful wind began to pull them furthwr away from the previous stances. A breach opened towards the Dark Realm, while doing so the medallions were exhausted of energy as the breach closed. They then fell on the floor. Infuriated by this Havoc clenched his fist and grunted, "What is the meaning of this!?" "My Lord please calm down," Suggested Melisandre. "There has be a logical reason behind this!" Havoc assended to his feet and fixed his direction towards Slicer. "There is no meaning to this Sorcerer. He has failed me once again!"

Before Havoc could engage Melisandre then said, "I think I know the reason behind this my Lord. Please calm down!" He calmed down and sat on the throne once again. "I have encountered quanderies such as these before. If not mistaken a spell was cast unto the medallions to prohibit any form of transportation towards the Dark Realm."

Havoc growled further, his anger shook the entire Mother Ship, while everyone on board began thumble upon the ground. "Calm down my Lord! Or else you shall refracture the ship's interior design!" Suggested Melisandre as she arose to her feet. Havoc then inquired. "Then how do we do set Death Wrath free, if the medallions rendered obsolescent?!" She then offered a suggestion. "Perhaps the medallions are not so antiquated. Perhaps if we capture the Guardians, they will sing with grace." "Be that as it may!" He then fixed his glance towards Slicer and said, "You! This is your last chance to redeem yourself. Otherwise I will use your body parts as my own arsenals!" Without fear Slicer nodded. He returned to the port to aboard his scout ship. This time he was accompanied by his subjects, the Dark Raiders. They climbed aboard on their own scout ships and followed him to Earth.
