Regaining The Best Version

Blue Winter pressed his stance that caused an icy shard to shatter on the left feet, revealing a glimpse of the fresh human skin. A heated smirk widely opened before he catapulted himself like a missile. A left foot took the lead and at the same time, washed away icy shards on his feet, revealing his human skin too.

Windy yellow energy wrapped around his leading foot with other cracking lines slashed his icy shell's bodies and The Dragon Knight lifted the heavy sword with ease in a defensive position. As Blue Winter was closely landed his empower kick on the flaming body, the living construct penetrated down the sword to the sandy ground.

Therefore, the sword morphed into staggering lava that abruptly caught Blue Winter's upcoming kicks. Furthermore, The Frozen Warrior floated inside the lava similar to a person that lost the sense of gravity due to the flaming waved wildly showering him.

He screamed in agony while being trapped inside like a being thrown in actual magma even though his flesh or icy shell didn't melt or burn. While The Dragon Knight bravely called forth a small flaming hammer from ashes of nothingness to its grips as Sparror distance away, sharpened his locking eyes.

Afterward, The Dragon Knight leaped off from the ground and with no hesitation, pounded the flaming wave. It gave an exploding reaction that bounced off Blue Winter, incinerated the active wave in an instance.

In hurried, The Frozen Warrior knuckled the sandy ground by using the icy fist, safely landed on the ground. The freezing shell on his fist suddenly shattered revealing more of his raw, human flesh.

A persuasive hand was soon initiated by Blue Winter to get The Dragon Knight striking attention. The living constructs immediately felt for the persuasion as it cast a blazing twister on the open grip that morphed into a very thin staff.

"Come on, show me more." Blue Winter taunted.

The Dragon Knight was swallowed by a human-sized, flaming tornado and respawned on Blue Winter right. Furthermore, the living construct lifted the flaming staff in a stabbing position right at The Frozen Warrior.

Blue Winter's right foot engulfed a cloudish yellow aura, followed by the cold bluish aura. The Frozen Warrior swiftly struck The Dragon Knight rib with his wind-covered foot. As a result, the living construct was thrown away due to it couldn't endure the smashing pain that nearly broke apart from its limbs.

However, a rocket launch fist from the stomach latched on Blue Winter's stomach, causing him to puke out saliva after The Dragon Knight left from his sight. While Sparror raised his other squeezing molten hand above his head as he witnessed the living construct in an injured state.

A flaming twister came to the rescue of The Dragon Knight before vanishing together into nothing. Blue Winter held his hurtful stomach with one hand before he giggled out loudly in the thrilling excitement of this match.

A match that made him more lively as a Shaolin Warrior, especially the love to fight a strong, almost tireless opponent such as Sparror. Blue Winter hearing sensed an incoming presence on the left before he turned right, meeting The Dragon Knight's attempted to land a punch with a bulky gauntlet.

Blue Winter hopped from the ground and tilted his body like an icy shell shoulder prepared for land. The Frozen Warrior immediately jabbed The Dragon Knight with its shoulder that soon wiped away a lot of icy shards, turned into dust as it fell to the ground, and opened up his human skin to see the outside world.

The bulky gauntlet attack was prevented as a mixture of yellow and blue aura rounded up his barefoot Afterwards, Blue Winter swiftly flipped back at the same time, landing a direct kick on the living construct face with ease.

As a result, The Dragon Knight has pushed further away and revealed a face similar to being squashed. A soaring flame burst out on the living construct as Sparror put his molten hand in front of his eyes.

The squashed face spun around like roulette with the healed face popped out in an instance for prolonging itself in this ongoing fight. The Dragon Knight lifted the flaming hand before it summoned a chaining twister that transformed into a dragon head, hand cannon.

"More tricks, more fun to fight." Blue Winter was praised as he placed an open grip in front of his eyes in anticipation demeanor

Sparror switched his attention towards his frozen opponent that slowly shattered his icy shell piece by piece. A bright idea shone inside The Flaming Hero's head from a short observation after he took one last glance at the living construct who have been keeping up with Blue Winter.

"I guess….I am going to keep the construct more offensive." Sparror exclaimed his idea within the mind, "So it will be more effective to bring Blue Winter's old self."

The Flaming Hero commanded his molten hand to the left and The Dragon Knight aimed the hand cannon towards Blue Winter. A flaming particle vastly merged into one blasting flaming ball on the dragon mouth and The Frozen Warrior showed a spirited grin to the incoming attack that he awaited for some time either he dodges or not.

A flaming twister swooped from below and devoured The Dragon Knight who busied charging the blast. Then, the living construct popped out on the very top of Blue Winter with a blazing string that rounded the dragon head.

The Frozen Warrior gazed above The Dragon Knight that quickly released a scornful blast similar to a tsunami when comes to the movement. As the moment of the blast about landed, Blue Winter smoothly leaped to the left for evading the blazing force.

Therefore, the blast vanished in thin air as the living construct spawned in front of Blue Winter and struck a molten fist to his chest. The Frozen Warrior lunged the punch with his icy shell that tore apart into dusty pieces, revealing his human hand.

As a result, The Dragon Knight's striking hand exploded due to it couldn't endure the hurtful block by its opponent. Moreover, Blue Winter clenched his fist and landed a straight line punch to the living construct.

A follow-up was made with a tightening finger pushed on The Dragon Knight's chest that pushed it away from Blue Winter sight and created a thick punching mark. The living construct called forth the flaming twister on one of its opened grips. The twister itself in less than a second morphed into a giant sword, with dragon tooth on the whole edge and nailed right at the sandy ground like a landmark from preventing to fly further

Blue Winter glanced at Sparror who lifted his molten hand to move his puppet-like living construct. Moreover, he smiled excitedly towards his flame opponent who kept convincing him to land his forgotten Shaolin technique.

Southern Shield began to take notice of the hidden intention to Mistress Foreseen in suspicious eyes. The Female Shaolin smirked in a joyful demeanor especially towards Blue Winter who slowly opened himself from the cold, icy shell and slowly got excited with the match.

"Mistress Foreseen, was this your plan all along?" Southern Shield asked in smug annoyance.

"Correct." Mistress Foreseen exclaimed in a sheepish tone before she explained in a soothing voice, "I just wanted to see his old self back again with this fight."

Southern Shield shrugged off as his arrogance still stood tall especially the longer he spent watching this fight. Mistress Foreseen slightly saw her spectator partner with her white eyes shining like a lamp. Furthermore, She shook her head and giggled with a high pitch that brought The Arrogance Shaolin attention.

"If you want to keep up with Blue Winter, stop merging yourself with The Golden Shield." Mistress Foreseen suggested and prepared a harsh explanation to her Shaolin friends, "It's not good to fight not to like yourself."

The Arrogant Shaolin furiously gritted his teeth as he felt his heart was stabbed deeply by a sword. His steaming anger arose within a pissed-off stare sharply locked onto Mistress Foreseen.

"I knew the Xan Xiang tragedy was only just a cover." Mistress Foreseen said in a deep tone, "The real reason you had that kind attitude and behavior was you never let the thought of Mayuri Sekai and your parent's death, flew away freely."

Southern Shield breathed heavily as his burning anger almost couldn't contain anymore and clutched his bold tight fist that was ready to punch Mistress Foreseen in anytime soon. The word "Mayuri Sekai" brought him a picture of a jet-black, long ponytail woman with a green explorer uniform.

A cheerful smile was the most memorable thing that Southern Shield captured on her and transported his mind to a moment when he carried her by the back. The moment when her left leg was unable to move.

"I am here to tell you that you had to accept thise trauma and pain." Mistress Foreseen advised in a concerned tone.

"I know it's hard, but do not let that thought affect you fully, Southern Shield." Mistress Foreseen added.

"Let's just watch the match." Southern Shield bickered in deep anger, "I didn't want to talk further about Mayuri or even my parents."

"Remember, I am just trying to help you."

The nearly smoldering conversation ended as The Shaolin spectators continued their observation again in silence from both sides. The potential bickering argument was prevented when Mistress Foreseen didn't presume more counterpoints or bringing more about the loss of Southern Shield's most important person in his life.

Meanwhile, Blue Winter rebuked The Dragon Knight with his anticipation for future attacks. He raised his hand as a radar again and continued to inspect all the four limbs of his flaming opponent.

Sparror gazed at The Frozen Warrior too and placed his molten hand closer to his yellow eyes. Therefore, The Dragon Knight illuminated by a blazing light throughout its body lifted the giant sword that was being directed towards Blue Winter.

In a surprising term, Sparror raised his yellow eyes in fiery exhilaration of this match, especially the more time he focused his stare on the enthusiastic Blue Winter. Afterward, The Flaming Hero nodded in acceptance before he gave a tiny sound of a chuckle.

"To be honest, this fight made me want to see the full potential of this power." Sparror exclaimed within his mind in a gladful tone. "So, I could be more efficient and effective as a Superhero in Neo Tokyo."

"Mom, Dad, I hope you have time to see this..moment," Sparror added in a delighted tone.

Hence, Sparror's molten went up to see the sky above that lightened up the whole hand brighter than the dawn sun rising. Therefore, The Dragon Knight was convinced by the light presence and swiftly dashed at lightning speed towards Blue Winter,

With the excitement that kept heating up, Blue Winter rushed closely to meet the striking Dragon Knight before he drew his fist with a yellow and blue energy mashed into one right on the knuckle. The Frozen Warrior was indeed ready to make a collision clash with the living construct and Sparror quickly flicked his molten finger-like holding a match with sharp shot eyes.

Thus, The Dragon Knight self-destructed itself into a roaring explosion wave that caught Blue Winter in an instance, not giving any escaping gap for him. Moreover The Frozen Warrior legs numbed a sense of movement due to the enormous force given by the explosion.

Blue Winter for now continuously endured the smoldering flame by biting his lips and took a very long deep breath, holding back an agonizing scream. He heavily struggled to move his muscles as if the heat also tried to melt his limbs.

The Frozen Warrior closed the blue eyes to find another means of escape. A sweat of tiredness spilled over his forehead and he clenched both of his fists tightly for trying to endure the undead scream.

"You….will…...not….become…...him…..again." A raspy voice cried out loud through Blue Winter ears.

He opened his eyes and witnessed a sea of lying down rotten undead with void-hole eyes and dropped their jaws in begging demeanor. A sorrowful scream pierced through the Blue Winter ear like an arrow as he bit his lips till a single line of blood dropped by

The Frozen Warrior calmly realized he wasn't in the arena fighting Sparror. Instead, he stood on top of the beach with blood-red sands whose surface resembled quicksand as his feet sluggishly drowned inside.

Blue Winter sighed in relief before he gave a refreshing smirk after his eyes observed the sea of corpses for a longer time. Even though his body was being absorbed by the quicksand, he was unfazed by that revelation.

Distance afar from the corpse, golden sunlight arose blindingly on the violet sky and raised his eagerness to approach there especially with the light soothingly touched his fast as guidance. Therefore, a yellow aura illuminated within the quicksand that made his feet broke free from the absorbing grasp.

After he got the escape chance from the quicksand, The Frozen Warrior rushed to the sunlight and ran over the sea of corpses with ease. Each of the corpses that made contact with Blue Winter, turned thousand yellowish sparkles that only convinced him to go forwards.

Moreover, the sparkles from the undead flew willingly as it became one with a Blue Winter body. As a result, his running speeds got a rapid boost that made the sea of corpses similar to a soil surface. As each of the corpse's sparkles continuously flew and went to Blue Winter due to his feet' rapid clutches, a shining yellow light divinely emitted through the whole body.

Furthermore, Blue Winter smoothly jumped in sky-high scale when he was closer to the sunlight. He gracefully grabbed the light with his bare hand that created a blinding yellow wave in front of him.

The Frozen Warrior arrived on the cloudy-white, space with a tranquil wind passing by that made him close his eyes to get the complete calm atmosphere. After that, he opened his eyes and saw himself, wearing a blue Shaolin Gi and long white pants, being trapped in a meditation state.

Blue took another sigh of relief before he started to approach his other self in a slow, but polite demeanor. Few steps were taken, his other self noticed a person approached him by awakening his ocean blue eyes.

The other-self stood up in a firm demeanor and turned around to see his frozen self walk closer to him. Hence, he greeted with an open hand that caught a fist and bowed respectfully.

The frozen self replied in the same position as his youthful self for embracing the welcomeness. Afterward, they locked stare at each other in resilience, bravely standing like a comrade of war who hasn't met each other for a lot of years.

The frozen self politely offered a handshake which made his youthful self surprised at first. However, he swiftly accepted and shook their hand together in placating admiration towards themselves.

A yellow and blue energy ignited through the whole white space that originated from the Shaolin Warrior handshake. As they were caught by the ignition, his youthful self gladfully smirked with his frozen self-presence, who soothingly grasped a sensation of the fight by glaring at his old self and reminded a glory days as a Shaolin Warrior.

Therefore, an overwhelming blue and yellow wave emerged from inside of the explosion wave that had been heating Blue Winter, to the sky above. Furthermore, the emerging wave smote the while explosion into dust when it suddenly went down to Blue Winter direction.

Sparror covered his yellow eyes with the molten hand from the shockwave wind that caused his cape to float like a ceremonial flag. As the wind blew over, The Flaming Hero put down his hand before he gazed upon Blue Winter who was recently wrapped around by a blinding, yellow aura on the whole body.

The yellow aura dissolved into million pieces of nothingness and left a special gift for Blue Winter. He now was regained his human skin back looks with little change, his jet black hair completely replaced by a glacier blue color.

Moreover, he also received a new battle costume which was an icy blue Shaolin gi with two separate artworks on each side. The left side picked a frozen-like mountain with lime color. While the right side had a bald head Shaolin monk who was in the fighting position with white as the dominant color.

Even the back of his gi, there was another artwork placed on the middle part. It was an artwork of a golden monk peacefully meditated inside a coin-silver circle. His wrists were covered by ocean blue hand bands and his waist was tied by a heterochromatic color belt which was blue and white.

His long pants possessed a greyish rising fist on the left side as a motif, while the right side was blank. He also had snowy white kungfu boots that were tangled around by golden strings only on the upper part.

Sparror raised his eyes in uncontrollable shock with Blue Winter's new appearance. Not only the appearance, but the atmosphere in the fighting arena also changed with a tranquil, yet very tough presence that sent shivers to The Flaming Hero spine. At last, Blue Winter's old self returned once again from the long guilty slumber and Sparror was about to witness in the true might of the real Shaolin Warrior.
