A Major Surprise

BEEP BEEP

Hearing my alarm I woke up and the memories of yesterday's fight entered my mind. "What was that power I used?"

Looking at my arm it looked and felt normal. "How can my arm be fine I destroyed it yesterday?"

Pushing the thought to the back of my mind and went to eat breakfast. When I entered my living room I felt a strange energy and raised my guard.

"Do not be afraid Ray." said a familiar voice. Hearing the voice I nearly let my guard down since it sounded like my father! "Look at the table Ray." Listening to my fathers voice I looked at the table and saw my fathers book floating in the air.

Stunned I just stood there staring at the book. The book then started moving towards me and stopped in front of me. Without thinking I reached out and touched it.

The room went dark and then I appeared in a strange room that looked like a training space. "Who are you what do you want with me!" I shouted. "Calm down I'll explain everything"

Looking toward where I heard the voice I nearly cried since it was my father standing in front of me. "I know this is alot to take in son but I must explain something first. I'm not really here this is just a projection within the books internal space created by a small bit of my soul power and it won't last long." Before I could speak my fathers projection started talking again. "I have appeared because the book sensed you used an ability that's to early for you and used a bit of the soul power I left in the boom to create this projection."

My fathers projection stopped speaking and looked at me before speaking again. "The move you used yesterday is called soaring dragon, it is the first form of the Dragon Fist skill. Before I speak more of the Dragon Fist skill I will first explain your draconic energy."

Hearing what my fathers projection is saying I push my emotions to the side and start listening attentively. "When you use the Dragon Blade Style you build up draconic energy and send it to your weapon but this isn't an actual part of the Dragon Blade Style, it is mearly a way to train the body to produce draconic energy." Explained my father "Now that you know this I will demonstrate the first form of the Dragon Blade Style." Summoning a sword my father took a fighting stance and said. "Dragon Blade Style: Form 1 Talon strike!"

When Swinging the blade I could see the draconic energy emitting from my fathers sword and forming a dragon claw following the blade.

Striking the training dummy my father nearly cut it in half but following the sword the dragon talon also struck the training dummy sending it flying.

Looking at my father in awe he smiled and said "That is the power of the Dragon Blade Style, since I don't have much time left I'll now demonstrate the soaring dragon move."

Tossing aside the sword my father brought back his fist and I could see draconic energy building up around his fist as he said "Dragon Fist: Form 1 Soaring Dragon!"

Punching a metal wall my fathers fist made ot cave in on itself and then a dragon made of energy erupted from his arm, slamming into the wall destroying it.

My fathers projection turned and looked at me with a serious expression on his face before saying. "I'm about to dissappear but before I go since I'm made from soul power I have some emotions and I can feel immense love for you." I could no longer stop the tears falling from my eyes after hearing that.

Looking at me with a loving smile my fathers projection said. "You can now enter this space to train whenever you want and also see recordings of the two moves I just showed you. Train hard my son one day when your strong enough come find me I can sense that I'm still alive somewhere."

Fading from veiw my father said one more thing. "Make sure to take care of your mother Ray"

Crying I said "Of course I will father just wait for me." Smiling my father finally disappeared. With new found determination I drew Ryuo and began my practice.
