Emperor of the Court: Kurai Vlast

A few dudes just sit in the gym. A volleyball net was set up but no one was using it. It was just a simple basketball gym that was lended to the falling apart Boys Volleyball Team for the University. 

The door to the gym opened as the 5 men that sat in there looked over to see Kurai standing there in his 6 foot 11 inches tall glory. His gray hair was now only a few inches long. His blue eyes still shine with a glint of determination. A burn scar all the way down his right arm. Kurai now sporting a trimmed and short goatee.

"This place is a mess…" The men watch as Kurai walks over to the net. Feeling the old strings and rope of the net beginning to dry rot. There were holes in the unkempt net. Kurai looked down at the old wooden court. Scrape and slide marks cover the old surface. The paint marking the borders of the court were beginning to fade. One of the men spoke up.

"Hey! Who are you!? Why're you here!?" Kurai towers over them. Standing in front of the net.

"I'm here to revive this volleyball team… Take you to nationals to get the recognition you deserve." The man laughs. He had dark skin and his black hair was curly and a mess, unkempt.

"HAH! You wish! This team's been decrepit for forever now! In your fever dreams buddy!" Kurai smirks.

"Fine then… take me on… One versus five… let's see just how far this team will be able to go" the man smirks.

"You're on buddy! Prepare ta' loose!"

"It's only fair we let you serve first buddy… it IS a five on one!" Kurai exhales.

"I'll make this a simple first to 5 point game… beyond that wouldn't be fair…" The man jumps a bit.

"What!? Are you saying we're-" Kurai exhales and tosses the ball.

"A jump serve!? Everyone step back-" suddenly, the ball dysmorphing on the court in front of him. The ball flew past his face and into the ceiling of the gym. Landing as his eyes glow ominously. The man gulps. 'W-wait a minute… I remember this guy-'

"Good serve…" Kurai tosses the ball really high and runs forward. Jumping high into the air and slamming the ball over the net. One of the men leans to the left and gets under the ball. Not strong enough to bring it up as it goes flying and he hits the ground. The man's eyes widened. 'He almost brought THAT serve up… there's no way we're actually playing with-' He points his finger at Kurai.

"Y-You! You're Kurai Vlast! Setter of the Monster Generation and Emperor of the court, THAT Kurai Vlast!?" Kurai nods and stands tall.

"Yes… that's right… and I'd like to know your names as well… since you already know mine… tell me your name and position…" The man grits his teeth with a smirk, pointing to himself. Trying his best but failing to make his black curly hair look decent.

"Names Jaden Ramirez! I'm a wing spiker!" Kurai looks over at the one who almost received his serve. He had long blonde hair and purple eyes.

"Carlos Maverick… Libero" Kurai nods, already impressed by Carlos. Looking at the rest a tall man with a muscular build and orange hair speaks up. Brown eyes and an undercut hairstyle.

"I was the team's middle blocker! Name's Jazz King!" another boy points to himself.

"Opposite… Liam Gray" he had black hair that covered his eyes. Pointing to the man standing behind him.

"This is Owen Willsburough… he doesn't talk much but he is also a blocker and was the brain of our team" Kurai nods, looking at Owen with his short dirty blonde hair and gray eyes.

"Well… ain't you a ragtag group of nobodies…? I like you…" Kurai tosses the ball and slams it over the net.

"Better step it up boys… score is 3 to 0"

Jaden grits his teeth and smirks. 'I can finally revive the team as you'd always wanted… Brother!' Kurai tosses the ball and jump serves it over the net. Carlos jumping forward and receiving the ball but getting sent back. Jaden appears under the ball and underhand sets it into the air as Owen appears. Kurai smirks as the ball goes flying and hits the court with an echo. Kurai capping as Jaden takes deep breaths 'it's been a while since i've felt like this… thank you, Kurai… for returning me to my purpose!' Jaden turns and glares at Kurai. Kurai smirking. 'State of flow, eh? He doesn't seem to have lost his touch' Kurai grins as an aura pours from his eyes. Kurai enters a state of flow as well.

Carlo thinks to himself. 'All this yip yap about being a prodigy and a state of flow?... I don't care about stuff like that' Kurai lands another jump serve over the net. Carlo taking a deep breath and falling forward, pancaking the ball and sending it into the air. 'I could care less!' Kurai smirks as an aura pours from Carlos's eyes, Carlos was in a state of flow. Jaden runs over and sets the ball backwards to Liam who's already jumping, aura also radiates from his eyes as well. Spiking the ball as it lands behind him. Kurai lands with aura pouring from his eyes having blocked the ball. The score was now 4 to 1 in favor of Kurai who was at match point.
