Russel grimaced holding his side and nodding. "R-right..." He inhaled deeply. "Beast Soul of the deadly Dragon! Lend me your power! Beast Merge!" He called out weakly. A black dragon spirit emerged forming around Russel transforming him into the Legendary Hero, Komori Doragon. He exhaled a rough breathe holding his side still. "Lets do this!" He growled a large scythe emerging in his hand.

The Dark One snarled looking at Akio. "Akio, the master of the beast knights...I've been dying to fight you." He growled before lunging at him with rage.

OOC: Alrighty

------

Jasmin smiled a bit. "Your quite wise." She commented and looked at the snowy ground. "I...I'm worried." She admitted. "I'm worried about not being strong enough like that others...Like Master Isao, Russel, Eiji....Even Ashley..." She said wrapping her arms around the beast soul gently and embracing her in a hug.

Akio blocked his sword with a twisting motion of his staff. "Your power is great, but your form is sloppy and unrefined," he said, spinning around and doing a series of lightning fast blows. Several of which were just feints to divert the Dark One's attention elsewhere.

"Seriously, why didn't you do that in the first place?" asked Moto, pinning the Chameleon's tail to the ground. "You're not getting away!" he yelled, jumping on it's head and stabbing it in the jaw.

------------------

"Don't worry, my friend," said the wolf. "I will lend you my strength, and together, we will be strong.

The dark one roared a bit before moving out of the way in an attempted not to get hit again. "Tsk..." He muttered slightly before slashing once more at Akio, sending up a cloud of dust. He ran towards Moto and Doragon leaping over them quickly converting back into human form unnoticeable, or so he thought. He slashed down with his sword still having one knicking Doragon roughly in the arm make a deep cut, cutting through the arm. He then disappeared into the nearby shadows.

Doragon growled lowly before lunging at the chameleon slashing his scythe. "I couldn't!" He said. "For some reason I just couldn't do it. Because of that Dark one guy." He stated angrily. He looked up just in time to see as the dark one convert back into his human form and knick him in the arm. He let out a shout of pain before tumbling to the ground. "Ugh..."

---------

Jasmin sighed lightly feeling some what relieved. "I hope we can talk again someday..." She muttered. "Beast Soul...Will you lend me your power?" She questioned looking at the wolf.

Akio walked over to Doragon and put a hand on his wound, fire rushing in and healing it with the power of the phoenix before Akio reverted to Isao.

Moto dodged a swipe of the Chameleon's tongue and then caught a second swipe with his sai, tangling it around it and holding him in place.

------------------

The wolf nodded, flying around her, converting into armor and bonding with her, both in real life and in her vision, transforming her to her Beast Knight form.

Doragon snarled holding his scythe up. "Eat this lizard scum!" He shouted holding his scythe horizontally. "Death's Wish!" The entire area surrounding them turned pitch black. A grim reaper like figure stood in front of the chameleon hauntingly. The grim reaper whom was truly Doragon charged forward cutting the chameleon in two. The chameleon busted in to black ash then floated away. Doragon grunted and kneeled down shaking his head. It had been a while since he had done that. "Who was that exactly Master Isao?" He questioned converting back to Russel. He held his side that was still injured.

Jasmin slowly opened her eyes feeling a new found power surging through her. She looked at the armor getting use to the feel of it. She was hunched over a little to give her a speed advantage in a sense. Through pure instinct she stood in a wide stance and raised her arms and head and let out a werewolf like howl before shaking and huffing.

Misha looked at Jasmin who was know Kumori. He blinked a little frightened by the very vicious looking appearance of her.

"I believe we've just seen the face of our true enemy," said Isao. "The leader of the Black Hearts..."

-----------------------

The Jaguar spirit eased Misha's fears from within.

Russel nodded a little and winced. "C-can we go back home now?" He pleaded.

Kumori looked at Misha and sat down staring at him. She made a rather loud grunt.

Misha immediately calmed down. He looked at Kumori. "Jaz?" He questioned.

Kumori's ears moved forward. "Yes?" She said her voice been rather different. It was deeper, stronger, powerful.

Isao nodded. "Yes, let's head back."

----------------------

Isao walked into the room. "Ah, good," he said. "Jasmin has obtained her merged form," he stated. "Jasmin, what will be the name of this merged form you now possess?"

Eiji looked to her. "My Beast Merge form is Moto, which mean Fierce Tiger."

Kumori looked over her shoulder and stood up being very tall suprisely enough. "Kumori." She stated simply and walked over to Master Isao. She looked at Eiji and nodded a bit.

Russel looked at Kumori and blinked. "Eh two of them?" He muttered not liking the fact there was even more company now. He folded his arms but quickly unfolded them because of his side. He winced and rubbed it. "I think I may have broken a rib..." He grimaced.

Misha walked over to Kumori and touched the armor calmly. He looked up at her.

Kumori looked down and converted back to Jasmin. Jasmin shook her head a little. "Jeez that sure is a weird feeling." She grumbled but quickly smiled at Misha. "Didn't mean to scare you." She said smiling a little more. She suddenly embraced Misha in a hug.

Misha looked down at Jasmin his face reddening a little out of embrassment. "Uh..." He strudded out.

Russel lift his arms up in victory. "I knew it!" He called out but quickly grimaced again.

Russel grumbled lowly before heading off to the infirmary. He hated going there.

Misha looked at Master Isao listening. "Wait so your telling m-" He looked down at Jasmin then back up at Isao. "That there's someone CONTROLLING those things? And there attacking innocent people?" He questioned looking somewhat shocked.

Jasmin looked over at Isao. "The Dark one?" She echoed recalling the name. "I've heard that name before." She said pulling away from Misha thinking. She rubbed her face trying to remember. "Where have I heard that name before..." She whispered trying to recall where she heard the name.

Isao nodded. "A very high level Black Heart," he explained. "We'll need all four of our Knights if we want to hope to beat him, meaning that you two will need to be trained."

Eiji nodded. "But what's troubling is that the Chameleon made an attack in borad daylight," he explained. "They've killed people, but they're normally only one or two murders at night or in a secuded area. This one was in a public park while the sun was out."

OOC: Misha and Jasmin would refer to Russel and Eiji as Sempai (Russel-sempai and Eiji-sempai), it means that they're their senior officers.

Misha and Jasmin looked at each other and nodded. "Understood." They both said.

Jasmin looked at Eiji. A realization hitting here. "What if there trying to wipe out the humans..." She said looking a good bit shaken.

Misha looked at Jasmin. "Wipe out the humans?" He questioned. "But why? What have the humans done to them?" He looked at Master Isao for answers.

Jasmin shook her head suddenly. "No, what if they try to corrupt there beast souls?" She said looking at Master Isao.

OOC: Alright but knowing Jaz she'll probably call them Russel and Eiji still. Or make up a nickname for them.

"That's a troubling possibility..." said Isao. "Killing humans for their Beast Souls..." he stated. "Once more, that's why training you two is very important. There are other temples in the world, but for now, it is up to this one to stop this enemy."

OOC: Skip to after basic training?

OOC: Yeah

Jasmin huffed falling to her knees already exhausted. "I am not fit enough for this!" She huffed with an arm in the arm. She huffed leaning back and sitting down. "And that was a VERY cheap shot whoever did that!" She exclaimed laying down lazily. She was sprawled out on the tile huffing still.

Misha set his hand on his knees huffing a bit. "Tell me about it." He whispered looking up at Eiji, and the others. He looked over at Jasmin and chuckled in between breathes. "You alright there Jaz?" He chuckled a little more, shaking his head.

Jasmin rolled over grunting. "Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm fine hun." She joked getting up huffing still. She looked over at him smirking.

Misha shook his head. His face getting a little redder then it already was. He stood up straight huffing tiredly.
