E: Ok, before this begins, I just wanna point out...the scene where Ikaruga's brother enters her room and their scuffle happens will remain the same. Nothing will change. Let's just get on with it then
*Time resume*
*The next day*
Reed: Why do we have to do this again? There is no point at advancing something that shouldn't be advanced. That can lead to very dangerous consequences in the future. *Sheathes his sword*
Roy: Yeah. Our precision is at it's max and we use whatever energy we need to cut the bamboo. We do not need to pour in excessive force unless we are planning to knock our enemy back which isn't the function of blades rather blunt weapons or fists.
Ikaruga: It may not be the case for you but it is the case for everyone else.
Reed: For the time we've been staying here there was no occasion where we were serious about something but something like this must be stopped. If the keep on training again and again the outcome will not be pretty.
Ikaruga: That doesn't matter. We need to train just in case another attack comes.
Roy: Fine then. If the backs of your teammates give out and they remain paralyzed well congrats, you lost your friends.
Katsuragi: *Lands between Reed and Roy*
Reed: *Moves out of the way*
Katsuragi: Alright, what's wrong?
Ikaruga: Nothing I'm fine.
Katsuragi: then where is this attitude coming from? your acting like a drill sergeant.
Ikaruga: I'm just trying to help you guys okay? There's no telling when the evil ninjas are going to attack us. If we don't get stronger we won't be able to defend ourselves against them.
Katsuragi: I get it. But yelling at us isn't gonna do us anything good. Infact your just ticking us of!
Reed POV: Come on... what would Mike do???
Roy: You have a valid point in your argument yet you lack two key elements.
Ikaruga: Yeah? And what's that?
Roy: Enthusiasm and Enjoyment
Ikaruga: How can those two possibly help us in training?
Roy: If the people in question can't enjoy what they're doing how can they put their heart into it?
Ikaruga: If that is how your trainer does it then he's doing it all wrong.
Reed: Then tell me how can he kick the butts of multiple elemental users and gun wielding marines?
Ikaruga: What are you even talking about!?
Reed: Fine, let's actually demonstrate how I fight and my training against yours.
Ikaruga: Fine I accept your challenge.
*At a battlefield*
Reed: *Creates his own stance* *Smiles*
Ikaruga POV: This man knows nothing. He's just good at regular fighting-
Reed: *Runs upfront* TECHNO PISTOL! *Uppercuts Ikaruga*
Ikaruga: W-what was that- *Knocked out*
*2 min later*
Ikaruga: What happened?
Reed: Futomaki Roll? *Hands he a roll*
Ikaruga: *Bows down* I'm sorry for saying your training is pathetic and weak!
Reed: Hahaha! That's alright by me. Even Mike Techno wouldn't mind it. This style is primarily for people who want to live by their own rules and fight their own way. So it's not hard to call it pathetic.
Ikaruga: I understand that I am not fit for being the class president and representative. I only focus on the fundamentals but you still somehow to find a way to master the fundamentals while keeping the team happy as well.
Reed: Woah, woah, woah, stop being so formal kid. I just use what I was taught.
Ikaruga: This Mike Techno you speak of, isn't he the one who you mentioned many times before?
Reed: Yes, the legendary warrior Mike Techno. By the way before I forget, Hanzō said that you are a fine leader. You're just shaken up at the moment. Which I can understand. Small advice if your shaken up, tell your friends. *Walks away*
Roy: What'd you tell her?
Reed: Nothing much. Just some basic talk and some encouragement-
Asuka: Slow down Ikaruga!
Roy: That won't end well...
Reed: *Sighs*
*small timeskip in another place*
??? 1: Consider it done.
??? 2: Yes madam just leave it to us.
??? 3: I expect you to do as your told.
??? 4 & 5: We were called?
??? 3: You two are assigned for the new bunch. Reed and Roy.
??? 4: Oh yes~ I can finally get some payback for what he did to my poor arm~
??? 5: Fine I'll take on that demon then!
??? 6: May I assist you?
??? 3: If you want to. Eradicate them at all costs.
*Timestop*
E: ??? 5 meant that as a mataphor. Also, Awkward Timing? I know right? The reason I am here is cuz It's hard to know when time skips come. So if you see a weird timeskip and you don't think it's right so do I. My guess is as good as mine so We're moving on-
Mike: SO THAT'S WHY I WAS CUT OFF-
E: TIME RESUME!!
*Time resumes*
*2 days later*
Reed: The sea can be so refreshing! It's been a while since we've been at the beach.
Roy: Miss the sand and the shore side.
Hibari: OW! MY HEAD IS THROBBING! KATSU YOU REALLY HURT ME!!
Reed: What in the Techno is going on-
Katsuragi: Please I took it easy on the two of you.
Yagyū: This is all your fault... *Shaking the card* You're the reason I got this card.
Katsuragi: Don't bring my-
Roy: Guys... Let's not fight here...
Ikaruga: He's right.
Asuka: You know, the salty air is kinda awesome.
Katsuragi: It's that or maybe your spectacular smelly armpits *Sniffing*
Roy: Caught Simping in 4k. *Takes a picture*
Reed: *Bumps Roy's fist* We got more evidence to show Katsuragi is a simp.
Asuka: Would you stop that already? I mean, seriously, it's creeping me out.
Katsuragi: I just want to get a whiff of your intoxicating smell that's all. It's spicy and jam-packed full of pheromones'.
Hibari: I wanna smell to!
Asuka: Stop it already. Guys, stop it!
Ikaruga: Didn't I already tell you to be quiet?
Roy: AYO IS THAT GIANT ISLAND FROM ONE PIECE!?!
Yagyū: One piece?
Roy: A popular comic/manga series.
*The girls look at the large island before them*
Kiriya: Yep, welcome to Shinobi island people.
Reed: AYO WHAT THE- *Falls off the boat*
Asuka: REED!
Reed: I'm fine! *Climbs from the back* Next time, don't do that.
Kiriya: I guess I can't disagree with you.
*At the island*
Ikaruga: Saying this place is dated is an understatement.
Katsuragi: Yeah, this place is Hella old.
Ikaruga: But I guess that is why we're here right? To learn the ways of old.
Reed: So, this is the dojo huh? Looks pretty run down.
Roy: We've seen more run down places than these. So it's not the worst place we've seen.
Hibari: It looks like a haunted house.
Reed: Trust me, real ones are much more abandoned than this.
Ikaruga, Asuka & Katsuragi: *Shaken up* How are you three not shaking?
Roy: We've seen actual spirits, Yokai you name it.
Yagyū: Why would you say that? You shouldn't joke around. You might scare the others
Kiriya: This is still a Shinobi house a place where-
Reed & Roy: *Passed out*
*In an unknown plane*
Reed: What are doing here?
Roy: Isn't this the gate of the inner path?
Scarlet devil: ROY! It's been a while!
Roy: What's up my man!
Scarlet devil: What are you doing right now!? But damn you look weak!
Roy: *Sighs* I know I am.
Scarlet devil: You gotta listen to good guy Mike! You can't rely on him forever!
Reed: But where is-
Scarlet devil: Oh, the nine tailed fox woman?
Reed: *Embarrassed* y-yeah... where is she?
Nine tails: Hi darling~ It's been so long.
Reed: It really has.
Nine tails: The Scarlet devil is right. You need to get stronger.
Scarlet devil: You can't unlock your inner paths anymore. You need to unlock it again manually.
Reed: We understand.
Nine tails: So it's time for us to send you back. Bye darlings~
*Back at the real world*
Reed: *Awakens* *Spits out blood* AW THAT HURT!!!!
Roy: *Awakens* *Spits out blood* TELL ME ABOUT IT!!
Asuka: Reed, Roy are you two alright!?
Reed: Nothing much. We just got home shocked.
Roy: Yeah just that. Hehehe...
Ikaruga: You've finally got your sense back- what happened to you two!? You looked like you've been stabbed
Reed: Well, you probably won't believe us. We'll tell you later.
Ikaruga: Alright then, our first part of training is to clean this place up. So start rubbing until it's spotless.
Reed & Roy: WHA!?!
