Darkness Lurks and School Sucks

"Alrighty, let's get this assessment underway. Now that you and Marco are both healed up and fully energized we can get right to this. Marco Vs Arbeya, who will win?" Daisuke said as he used a stick as a makeshift microphone, trying to sound like a commentator at some sort of wrestling match.

Marco and Arbeya stood facing each other inside the forest behind Bubblegum mountain.

The forest was being boxed in by large mountains on either side, just like before, and filled with wildlife. The two were surrounded by countless tree's as well as grasses. The thick leaves of the trees creating a cover for the two, the sunlight just barely squeezing through to illuminate the inside of the forest.

"Now remember you guys, this place is filled with wildlife; so don't go too crazy" Izanagi(Daisuke's Surname) said, but the two boys didn't hear him. The two were fixated on the person standing across from them, their temporary enemy.

Both seemed to glare at each other, intent on settling the score.

The whole week they had both gotten into arguments with each other, both claiming that they'd beat each other bloody if they could.

Daisuke, getting sick of the constant fighting, suggested that they spar with each other as training.

Though the shaggy hair ronin would be lying if he said he didn't know that they'd treat this as a real fight.

Arbeya balled up his fingers into a fist and brought it up to his chest, placing his other hand over it, he cracked his knuckles.

Marco watched as Arbeya's physique visibly changed in front of him. It was subtle but, depending on the multiplier, Arbeya's body would change. He'd become slightly taller, as well as buffer. His muscles would grow, only slightly, and some of his body fat would burn away. Making him look more lean and cut up than he did before.

Arbeya then switched hands and cracked his knuckles on the other hand as well, his power only rising even more.

His multiplier now sitting at a comfortable 9×, just like before against Ray.

Arbeya looked Marco up and down and Marco did the same. Marco had on a pair of grey sweatpants that reached his ankles, no shoes on, as well as no shirt. Bandages were wrapped around both his hands, except for on his fingers, and he had on his earrings. Two black diamond earrings that were no bigger than the size of his earlobe. A menacing scowl adored on that tawny brown skin of his.

Arbeya had a pair of black sweatpants on, as well as a grey shirt and no shoes.

His outfit was simple, but showed off his physique well.

"Alright! you ready...?" Daisuke asked as he threw his arm around a passing deer's neck with a large grin. As if the two of them were old drinking buddies.

Arbeya's skin immediately began to disappear with a puff of smoke, showing off his metal bones as his biceps grew larger.

☆◇Bare Knuckle Form 1 Activated◇☆

Marco raised both his hands to his chest while spreading his legs shoulder width apart. His one leg moving slightly behind him; his other moving more in front of him.

It was then that Arbeya understood what the bandages around Marco's hands were for. Marco was a boxer.

"Begin!" Daisuke yelled out. The boys wasted no time, Arbeya throwing the first punch aimed at Marco's face.

Marco took a step forward and ducked under the punch, his hands staying at the ready as he stared up at Arbeya.

The orange eye male seeing this switched stances, facing downward and punching down at Marco with a glare.

The tawny brown skin males hands quickly lit on fire and he sidestepped right to dodge the punch, flames drifting out of left eye as he did.

Rocketing upwards, his fist cracked against Arbeya's face in a powerful uppercut. Knocking the boy into the air and off his feet. Marco seized this chance and brought his arm back to release a barrage of heavy punches at Arbeya's chest.

The boy getting blown back and crashing into a tree. His heavy body breaking through the tree easily and disappearing in a pile of the trees leaves. The sun entering the forest more once the thick leaves had been moved aside.

The tree sat still on the ground for a moment, before it began to shift. Marco watched as Arbeya lifted the tree off the ground and held it above his head. Winding his arm back and throwing the large tree toward Marco.

Marco's foot stomping down of the ground, making a large wall of ice appear to block the tree. That's when he felt a pair or strong arms grab him by the waist and pull him backwards, lifting him up and off of the ground.

"☆Back Breaker Suplex☆" Arbeya said and pulled Marco back and slammed his back into the ground with a powerful suplex, making the top half of Marco's body get barried underground.

A chill suddenly going up Arbeya's spine as his entire body had been frozen within an instant.

Marco shooting out of the ground while Arbeya stayed stuck in his suplex position.

The ice covering him suddenly turning a bright red colour.

Arbeya felt the temperature of the ice rise and get hotter, but it didn't seem to melt away.

"Confused, my ability isn't just fire and ice control. I can make my ice as hot as fire and my fire as cold as ice" Marco said and pulled his arm back with a grin.

His arm being coated with a thick ice gauntlet, flames bursting out of his elbow. Rocketing his fist forward as it smashed into Arbeya.

Knocking the boy back and through even more. trees but this time, Marco put up chase.

Dashing after Arbeya and finding him in the forest rising to his feet.

Cocking a flaming fist back, he pounded down on him with an intense glare locked in those baby blue eyes of his. Only to find Arbeya's arms over his head, blocking the attacks. His metal bones heating up, becoming a bright orange colour. Waves of heat rising from the bones as fiery red ash flew off of them.

Shooting up, Arbeya grabbed Marco by the neck and slammed him into the ground. Pulling his arm back and punching down at him, busting Marco's nose and making him bleed.

He brought his arm back for one more punch, when a pillar of ice formed from Marco's chest. Ramming into Arbeya's chest and knocking him into the air. Smoke accompanied by fire burst out of Marco's heels, shooting off into the sky and gut punching the orange eye male. Arbeya winced in pains he got launched further into the air by Marco's gut punch.

Large fists of ice, the size of an average office chair, forming and floating next to Marco as the boy stared at Arbeya's body flying off. Flames blasting out his feet to keep him in the air.

Marco threw a fist forward and the ice fist reacted immediately, flying forward and punching Arbeya higher into the air. Throwing the second fist forward, Arbeya got punched across the face. The rough ice cutting his skin and smacking him hard on the side of his head. Blood spewing out the side of head and running down his face.

Marco began throwing combination after combination with his fists, the large ice fists mimicking his action and attacked Arbeya.

Till Marco brought both hands together to form an even larger one, double the size of both of them. Bringing it down hard on him and smashing Arbeya into the ground with it. Dust and dirt flying into the air as the ground shook on impact.

The baby blue eye male smirked, but felt a force pushing back on his ice fist.

Arbeya stood below the giant fist and pushed against it to get it off of him. A glare set in those orange eyes of his directed at Marco.

He began to push back harder, throwing the fist off of him and leaping into the air toward Marco.

The baby blue eye male began to weave his body in the shape of an infinity figure. Fire blasting out his side to speed up the rotation.

"☆♡Dempsey Roll Smash!♡☆" Marco said and threw a flaming punch forward at Arbeya's fast approaching body. The orange eye male kicking Marco in the chest as soon as the attack landed.

"☆◇Ripple Effect◇☆" The boy said as the shockwave of Marco's punch traveled through his body. Making his bones shake as the wave of shock moved from his chest, to his leg, then to his foot, the once more into Marco. Making the other boy cough up blood as the power of his attack got redirected to him, plus some, from Arbeya's kick.

The tawny brown skin boy flew back and crashed into the ground with a loud thud. His body tumbling and turning once he hit the ground, but he managed to stop himself by blasting flames out the back of his feet. Stopping himself and landing himself one knee.

Arbeya did a backflip in the air and landed safely onto the forest ground, blasting forward once he did. The ground below his foot cracking and fragmenting from the force of his push forward.

Marco had just risen to his feet once more, getting back into his classic boxing stance. That's when Arbeya burst out of the forest trees and rammed into him with his muscular shoulder like a powerful linebacker.

Knocking Marco off of his feet with his shoulder bounce, as well as knocking all the air out of Marco's system.

The boys body was about to fly away, but Arbeya wouldn't let him. His boney arm shooting forward and grabbing Marco's arm, before he could fly away, and pulling him back in his direction.

"☆◇Bone. D Hazard!◇☆" He said and his arm got visibly larger.

The extra muscle from his bicep in his other arm shifting over to make his arm larger. His metal bones getting larger as well, smacking into Marco's chest full force.

The boy coughing up spit as he flew back and broke through 2 trees. Arbeya's arm then shrunk back to normal size, his muscle shifting back to his other arm.

Marco didn't stay down for long though, his body being covered with fire as he blasted through the forest toward Arbeya. His fist c****d back and ready for a punch.

Arbeya raised his block to guard his face, but felt no impact. Lowering his guard slightly, he looked down to see a bright light below him.

Marco stood before him, squatting down low. Flames drifting out his eyes as he glared up at Arbeya.

"☆♡Flaming Neko!♡☆" Marco said and leaped upward, flames bursting out of the soles of his feet. Using both legs to jump upward and stretch out both arms, twisting them at the same time through the punch. Creating a little rotation air flow around his fists that quickly ignited with flames.

Both Marco's fists connected and smashed into Arbeya's chest, knocking him into the air and rocking his entire body with that punch.

The boy's body flew back and through the air, crash landing into a large boulder. Leaving an Arbeya sized dent in the boulder as well as scaring off a few of the surrounding animals.

Wincing from the immense pain he felt on his back, he opened his eye and looked up to see Marco coming down on him with a c****d back fist and a flaming gaze.

"☆♡Rocket Time Fist!♡☆" The tawny brown skin male said with a deep scowl on his face as he descended upon Arbeya. Flames igniting on his back to push him faster.

"☆◇Bone Bone Pistol!◇☆" the orange eye male said and pulled his arm as far back as he could. Throwing it forward once Marco got close enough. The two moves getting closer and closer to connecting, when a hand gripped onto Marco and Arbeya's fists.

Both attacks went off, sending off large amounts of air flow on impact after landing on the persons hand. That person was Daisuke. He stood on the boulder next to Arbeya's body with a bored expression on his face.

Blocking both attacks effortlessly. "Alright, alright that's a little too much don't you think" He said and threw Marco's fist back, making the baby blue eye boy fly back and land on the soft grasses of the forest.

"You guys really went and destroyed the forest like that even though I said not to" He said and the two looked around them to see piles of destroyed trees, disturbed earth and ice scattered everywhere.

"I think we're done with the training for today" He said and the two nodded.

Arbeya's arms returning back to normal, his body beginning to shrink slightly as well.

"Alrighty, we're heading back to the top of the mountain. I need a nap, just watching you guys fight made me tired" Izanagi said and both boys had a large anime sweat drop roll down the sides of their heads.

"I mean alright I guess" "Whatever" Arbeya and Marco said respectively. Marco stuffing his fists into his pockets as they followed their sensei.

A white and black striped snail deep in the forest watched the trio walk back over to Bubblegum mountain closely, its large white eyes followed their every move while it's long grey moustache flowed in the wind.

"So that's them? They seem reasonably strong. It would be unwise of us not to underestimate them" Diego spoke as he stared into the dark green orb on the table in front of them.

"Yes sir, but now that we know their strength. It should be easy" Basil said, standing right next to Diego in the dimly lit room.

"Yes your right, we should attack them soon. Then, we move on to take on Iron Claw and end them"

♡UN☆C~A◇N~☆NY♡

Inhaling deeply, he took in the Japanese air. "Flight number 117 has just docked. Passengers are exiting" A voice rang around the airport on the speakers. Countless people walking on by the boy and his luggage, either meeting up with family or walking outside to get a taxi.

"Air around here isn't that fresh but, it's aight" the boy said with an excited smile. He wore a simple navy blue T-shirt, some black jeans and a pair of black sneakers.

His eyes were a simple brown, but his milk white cornea made his eyes pop.

His hair was cut into a short fade with curls, the hair on the top of his head being a curly mess, while the hair on the sides was cut extremely short.

Grabbing his luggage, he began to walk toward the exit of the airport.

Walking outside to hail a taxi, one soon stopped in front of him. Getting inside, he put his suitcase in the trunk. He looked toward the driver and told him "Iron Claw Inc building, I came to see my brothers. Wonder how those dipsh*ts are doing?" The boy said and smiled, looking out the window of the car as the cab driver began to drive forward.

"Iron Claw, you got a brother that works there or something?" The driver asked, trying to make small talk.

"Yeah, his name is Tré Meiwa, I'm his younger brother, Tyrne. Wonder how my other brother is doing too, Arbeya"
