Yue and Gao both walked into Roshi and Gao's dorm, waiting for the former in silence, both of their eyes clouded over.

After a few minutes, Roshi staggered in, and leaned against the wall.

Immediately, both Gao and Yue leaped towards him and entrapped him in a great hug.

Speaking simultaneously, Gao and Yue whispered, " If you ever even dare do that again, you'll have a lot more to worry about than physical pain."

Funnily enough, both of them activated revelation for some unknown reason, giving their eyes an orange red tint.

After finally stopping the hugging, they all sat down. After a few moments, Gao broke the silence saying, "We could have died. Died. It's all fun and games till your life's on the line."

"We're gonna have to be way more prepared. If it wasn't for me having the weapon I had, we would have died in the first 5 secs."

"So more training or what?" Yue asked. "Wasting time theorising isn't going to help anyone."

"And what will blindly rushing into it all do. We need more knowledge about absolutely everything. The person who came to kill us, what the pillar organisations are, what that glowing blade was all about, even where our powers truly originate from."

"And will getting heated at each other or angrily venting do anything?"

Yue and Roshi flinched.

"I'd suggest we become more integrated with this guild. Until we are stronger, we have to stay safe. This incident proves how small our specks are, with the only reason for both mine and Roshi's survival being we had a weapon that was effective against our enemy."

"I'm sticking trackers on you guys now so I can keep track of you fools." Yue grumbled

Both Gao and Roshi blinked, before bursting out into laughter. Yue laughed as well before saying "I researched improving our resonance reservoirs, and found out adrenaline will help

increase it. Thus, I have some pills that will help with that. I'm not sure of the full extent of it all, but we should just try it out when we go to train tomorrow."

Gao shifted backwards "I don't want the tracking device to dissolve into my blood. No way. Not happening."

Yue's smile turned unnerving, as she took out a pill, leaned her hair to the right, before leaping forward towards Gao, and trying to throw it into his mouth.

Gao immediately put his hand in front of his mouth and caught it, before scrambling up and jumping for the door.

Roshi, seeing both of them in the air, smiled, and pulled both of them down from the sky.

They all lay on the ground chuckling, before they all lifted their hands and punched the air.

A few years ago.

"Let the three way match begin!" Hirokoshi exclaimed.

All three of them dashed forward, two with cold expressions, one with a focused smile. They all approached the middle and; A punch! A kick! A leg sweep! And, all of them fell over.

Hirokoshi slapped his face. "Reset."

The trio stumble upwards, before returning to their positions.

Hirokoshi rubbed his temples before once again saying "Begin."

This time, Gao and Roshi both rushed towards each other. Gao was slightly faster, and was able to obtain a well balanced start. Roshi, seeing this, jumped towards Gao with his full body weight, and grabbed his torso clothing, and tried to slip his foot behind Gao's front leg. The two of them tussled for a moment before both of them were hit with two swift quad kicks, giving them great pain, resulting in them both rolling backwards, Gao rubbing his leg, Roshi gritting his teeth. Yue smirked, and ran towards Gao.

Just as she got in range, Gao started to twist as though he was going for a wheel kick to the face. Yue reactively blocked in front of her face, but Gao swang down towards the legs, knocking them out from beneath. With the ground quickly approaching, Yue twitched, and performed a backwards handspring, landing back on her feet in fighting form, or as close as she could be to it.

Suddenly Gao was kicked viciously in the ankle. He buckled before rolling forward, away from both Roshi and Yue.

The three combatants all stood facing each other. They simultaneously ran out towards a relative center and...… they were all on the floor again.

Hirokoshi rubbed his forehead vigorously.

"I'll have to work on taking on multiple opponents more. To win those tournaments and stuff." Roshi mumbled.

"That was fun!" Gao said, smiling ear to ear.

Roshi chuckled.

"Towards Greatness." Yue stated.

They all lifted their fists and shouted "Towards Greatness!"

Lucaria, Natasha and Katlyn, were dragged into a dark room, completely dazed.

Havoc looked at the "receptionist" and nodded. Trails of energy were exuded from his body, as he put his tapped his finger on the table and said, "Let's begin."

A field of energy enveloped the room, and those outside its reach could hear no longer.
