"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Roos cried in surprise, then grunted in pain as his little red body slammed through one cliff, then another, then he finally stopped as he struck a mountain large enough to end his momentum. As Roos dug himself out of the crater he'd created in the huge grey, rocky structure, he looked around for a sign of his attacker. The entire area ahead of him, however, appeared to be empty. Floating forward cautiously, Roos looked around, and even spun round to see if anyone was behind him. Unluckily for Roos, when he did this, Shuten suddenly teleported in behind him and yelled,
[glow=red,2,300]"SURPRISE!"[/glow] Before slamming both his hands down on Roos shoulders in the form of chops, sending his son shooting down through the clouds below them.
Shuten watched his son's descent, then grinned to himself. Roos wasn't doing too badly. Even as he thought this, Roos suddenly burst out of the clouds behind Shuten, his right fist glowing gold, and fired a huge golden blast of Ki at his father. Shuten casually turned round and raised his own hand, causing Roos' Shinko no Kobushi attack to implode and disintegrate in the air between them. Roos watched in disbelief and yelled,
"'Ow did 'oo do dat?!" Shuten's grin widened, and he clenched his muscles suddenly, causing his bright red aura to explode out in a blinding show.
[glow=red,2,300]"Well Roos, let me explain something to you. You have the potential of tapping into three different forms of energy. The first is the conventional form of Ki; crude, basic, easily absorbed. All Goblins have the same colour Ki aura of red."[/glow] To illustrate this, Shuten raised his left hand and a glowing sphere of red Ki energy flashed into existence, bolts of power crackling along Shuten's arm in an imposing way.
[glow=red,2,300]"Then, there is the Royal Goblin power. This energy is much more sophisticvated than Ki, and impossible to absorb. Only Royal Goblins are able to use it, but if a Royal Goblin possesses a higher power level than another Royal Goblin, then they can easily cancel out any attack using this energy. Like I just did."[/glow] Shuten raised his right arm here, and suddenly the entire right half of his aura changed into a blindingly bright gold colour, his skin, eyes, hair and clothes all becoming a bright gold, in contrast to his natural left side.
Also, in his right hand, a sphere of golden energy suddenly flashed into existence, but, compared to the red sphere, this one was quite obviously more powerful. It was far brighter, and it crackled outwards in a much more hostile manner. Shutne however appeared completely calm while holding this sphere, and then suddenly, he clenched his fists, and the spheres disappeared, as well as Shuten's aura.
[glow=red,2,300]"And then, there is the third form you can tap into. But you can't learn that yet, I'm afraid."[/glow] Roos, who had been struggling to keep up so far, looked a little down-hearted at this news, but he didn't bother to say anything. He knew he'd get to learn eventually, anyway.
[glow=red,2,300]"Now then Roos, whenever you use your Shinko no Kobushi, you're using Royal Goblin energy. Surprised?"[/glow] Roos nodded enthusiastically, eager to keep up with his father and give him the right answers, [glow=red,2,300]"You're also completing the most basic task there is in mastering Royal Goblin energy, of channeling the power into one specific part of your body. The next step is filling your body with it, before extending it into the air around you. Understand?"[/glow] Understanding is such a broad term; Roos had the basic gist of the lesson. But not wanting to disappoint his father, Roos agreed, and listened intently to the next part of the lesson.
[glow=red,2,300]"OK, so focus. Sometimes it helps to imagine a great emotional stress..."[/glow] Roos cocked his head to one side, and asked,
"Wha's stress?" Some people would react badly to such a strange question, but Shuten simply cocked his head to one side as well and answered,
[glow=red,2,300]"You know I'm not entirely sure... WHoever wrote the manual on this is an awful writer. Making up words is against the law. Or it will be when I get home. But you're getting off topic Roos! Just imagine... Roosland being taken over by an evil person... aaaaaand... all your candy being taken away!"[/glow]
"CANDY?!" Roos cried in shock, and his eyes suddenly became distant as he pictured the people of Roosland, being ruled over by... by... by that guy in the black cloak, Mr. Shady! And Roos imagined all his nasty soldiers taking away the candy, and allowing Roos' people perfect teeth, with no fillings. The fiends! Imagine the unemployment lines as dentists lost jobs! The horror! The horror!
...Ahem. By the end of his imaginings, Roos temper had flared up enormously, and with an animalistic yell, his aura exploded outwards in an incredibly bright, golden colour. Shuten clapped appraisingly and said,
[glow=red,2,300]"Well done Roos! That's how-!"[/glow] before he finished, Roos had suddenly leapt forwards and taken a massive swing at Shuten's head with his left fist. Shuten floated to the right by an inch, narrowly avoiding the attack, then blocked Roos' follow up kick with his left arm. Then suddenly Roos was everywhere, all around Shuten, like a golden blur and sending attacks in every direction. Shuten however miraculously kept up and, at one point, grabbed Roos' arm in a vice-like grip; when Roos saw his father's hand, he recognised his higher power level, and suddenly Shuten's other fist piunded into Roos' stomach, knocking the wind out of him, as well as the Royal Goblin energy, which dispersed around him in a golden shower. Roos hung limply from the arm that Shuten was holding, and groaned in pain,
"Dat really huuuuuuuuuuuurt Daaaaaaaaaad!"
Shuten, however, frowned for a moment.
"Roos mastered that incredibly quickly; almost too quickly. He might not know it, but he skipped the second lesson entirely, and has already mastered this skill; but he can't hold it for very long."
Then Shuten smiled and cried,
[glow=red,2,300]"Ah buck up kid! You did well! You surprised me! Now get over there and do it again."[/glow] With that, Shuten shoved Roos out into mid-air, where he quickly gained his balance again and floated in front of his father. Roos sighed; he had seized the power as quickly as he'd felt it, and hadn't paused to think bout attacking his father, afraid he might lose the power if he stopped for even a second. Now, however, he could feel it in everything; there was a kind of warmth at the back of Roos' simple mind, as he was aware of a power he'd never felt before. And now he felt confident he could do it again.
[glow=red,2,300]"SURPRISE!"[/glow] Before slamming both his hands down on Roos shoulders in the form of chops, sending his son shooting down through the clouds below them.
