Elseworlds Story: Darkfire At Spirit Academy
By: Zorbak the Ebil Moglin Date: October 19, 2021, 4:46 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
( Elseworlds Story: Darkfire of Spirit Academy)
Prologue:
This story takes us to Spirit Academy, in a world that is
protected by two major academies. In this universe, the Spirit
Academy was one of two academies that were set up to help people
defend against dark spirits, after a major war between death
wraiths and dark spirits devastated the death wraith population.
After the death wraiths were unable to guard the path between
the Shadow Realm and the living world, dark spirits were able to
make their way to the living world far more easily than in many
universes. As such, humans learned from an early time to defend
themselves. Spirit Academy was established to teach humans how
to reach into their spiritual energy, and teach them how to
harness it in order to use it. In addition, this academy teaches
students about the power of spirits and how to use spirit arts.
Students who graduate from this academy eventually go on to
fight dark spirits and become Spirit Police after they graduate.
By fighting dark spirits and taking on other corrupted spirits,
humans have become quite skilled at fighting spiritual threats,
to the point that dark spirit and other corrupted spirits taking
human souls is usually rare since the Spirit Police are so well
trained to take on dark spirits. The students of spirit academy
also learn purification of spirits through spirit arts, thanks
to training from teachers who can call on spirits to grant
students purifying spirit power. Between Spirit Academy and
another academy, the world stays pretty safe. Our story today
follows a student of Spirit Academy and his friends...

Kindron vs Milan Battle Theme: Hurry Call (
HTML https://youtu.be/a6QBDPiro_s
)
Kindron: God... I wish I'd brought a game to play or something.
I'm bored out of my mind. He says, leaning back in his chair as
the teacher, Cassius Corello, was teaching a class on how to use
spirit lightning. He watched as Corello demonstrated the spirit
lightning, with a sigh.
After he fires the spirit lightning at the dummy, Corello looks
to Kindron. Corello: I'm sorry my class is so boring, Kindron.
He says sarcastically to Kindron, overhearing him with his
enhanced wolf spirit hearing. Perhaps you think you can do
better with spirit lightning?
Kindron sighs and looks down from his table at Corello. Kindron:
I've been firing better spirit lightning than that since I was
five years old.
From beside him, his childhood friend, Mizu Luna, looks over to
him with a glare. Mizu: Just because you're the headmaster's son
doesn't give you right to disrespect the teacher.
Kindron: It's true though... He says to Mizu. Mizu had trained
with Kindron from an early age, as both their families were
close friends. She would often hound Kindron when he started
getting disrespectful to people, as she didn't like Kindron
being a sarcastic jerk to people.
Corello: Well... Why don't you come down and show us how to do
it then? He says to Kindron.
Kindron: Alright then... If it will liven this class up a little
and keep everyone from falling asleep. He says he walks down to
area where Corello was standing. Watch and learn. He says as he
steps in front of Corello as Corello stands behind his desk.
Kindron: First... Your form was pretty pathetic... If you want
to fire spirit lightning like a spirit gun, you need to channel
it into your fingers to fire it like a spirit gun, not form it
outside the body. He charges the spirit lightning. Sparks of
spirit lightning form as he holds his index and middle fingure
out, appearing like he was charging a spirit gun. Secondly...
You don't get much striking power out of just blasting it. You
need to utilize the proper change in form. He demonstrates,
vibrating the spirit energy to generate static and heat which
charges the spirit energy. I'm doing this slow so you can see
the build up. Normally you'd want to do this quick before an
opponent stops you. He then fires it at the dummy.
Where Corello's spirit lightning barely singed the dummy,
Kindron's spirit lightning blew the dummy to bits. Not only was
Kindron's spirit lightning stronger, but the intense vibration
had released sound waves which could be felt throughout the
room. Anyone close to the striking point, even if they weren't
hurt by the attack, would have likely been stunned by the
intense sound waves at the point of impact.
The students look in horror at Kindron as Kindron puts his hand
down, admiring his handiwork. Kindron: THAT is how you fire
spirit lightning like a spirit gun. And if you do it fast, you
can hit an opponent before they have time to regret their life
decisions. He says as he walks back to his seat, with everyone
look at him.
Corello: Very impressive... He says, as he couldn't even say
anything. He was used to Kindron outshining him since he did it
a lot, so he didn't complain. You know, Kindron... Instead of
complaining all the time, maybe you should do something
productive. Like tutor some of the struggling students. If you
put that kind of effort into your schoolwork, you'd be top
student, not down at number 3. Even though Corello called
everyone Mr. or Mrs. and used last name out of respect, he
called Kindron by his first name since Mr. Darkfire was what he
called the headmaster of the school.
Kindron: Not likely... Most of the people in this class are
jerks I don't really want to spend time with. He says as he sits
down. He looks to Mizu and Nightbane Shiraki, one of his
friends. And no... I'm not including you two in that count. He
says.
Nightbane: I hope not... I work pretty damn hard to be the
loveable guy I am. He says sarcastically.
Corello: Well... I suppose that will be all for today. He says
as he puts his books away.
Kindron: Thank you... Finally... He says with a sigh as he grabs
his bag.
Kindron goes out, followed by Mizu and Nightbane.
Kindron: So... We're done for today, right?
Mizu: Yeah. We shouldn't have anything else for the rest of the
day.
Kindron: Good, I can't sit through another class.
Nightbane: Corello has a point Kindron... If you wanted to, you
could be number one student. And I think our group could learn a
lot from you. Not most of us were born with your natural talent.
Kindron stays silent as he walks, not wanting to talk about his
natural talent. Most people never saw him as someone who worked
hard, mostly because no one really ever saw him train except for
Mizu.
Mizu: Well... I don't really see the point honestly in aiming
for top student. It's not like it's a big secret Kindron is only
number three because he hates ethics tests...
Kindron: Hey... It's not my fault those teachers teach their
ethics... I memorized the school's ethics, and I could recite
them at the drop of a hat. I just don't know what these stupid
teachers believe.
Mizu: It's not that hard if you just listen. She says with a
sigh to Kindron.
Kindron: I don't even care about being number three... I mean.
What's the difference between number 2 and 1? Just a three point
difference total between us?
Nightbane: Speak for yourself, I wanted to surpass you in
ranking, but I'm still stuck at number four.
Kindron shrugs as he turns to Nightbane. Kindron: Just work hard
and I'm sure you'll beat me in scores eventually. Beating Mizu
is the real trick since I doubt she'd let you live it down if
you did. He says sarcastically.
Mizu: I study hard... And I trained with Kindron since I was a
kid. So I know the material inside and out since I grew up on
it. Plus trying to match Kindron since I was young made me a lot
stronger than I would have been otherwise.
As they talk, they head to the cafeteria to eat. As they sit
down and start eating, talking amongst themselves, someone walks
over to the group.
Kindron looks over with a glare, recognizing the presence.
Kindron: Milan Karus right? Please tell me you're not here for
another ass kicking. He says as Milan looks to him with a glare.
Milan: Meet me in the training ring in two hours... I'm not
gonna lose to you a second time. And this time you won't catch
me off guard. He says to Kindron. He then leaves.
After he was gone, Nightbane looks to Kindron. Nightbane: Guess
he still dislikes you...
Kindron: I was hoping he'd straighten out, but I guess some
apples just stay rotten. He says with a shrug.
Mizu: You're not really gonna fight him again, are you?
Kindron: I did tell him he could challenge me anytime he wants.
He says with a sigh.
Begin Flashback.
It was a day like any other. The people from Kindron's dorm were
hanging out in the living area where most of the students hung
out after hours, usually having different living areas depending
on the dorms they lived in. Kindron was laying on the couch,
with Mizu sitting not far away and a few others present. There
were 10 people per dorm, five boys and five girls. Normally,
Kindron would just relax and listen to the others have fun, but
tonight was different as the number 1 ranked student in the
school, Milan Karus, was hitting on girls in the dorm. Because
Milan was the top ranked student, and known as the strongest in
the school, no one dared to oppose him which had left him
overconfident.
As Milan came over to the members of Kindron's dorm, he looked
over at Milan.
Milan was harrassing the captain of the tennis team, Toriko
Blaine, who was trying to get away from Milan.
As Milan tried to inch close to Toriko, Nightbane stepped in
(before Nightbane and Kindron became friends) and tried to grab
Milan's wrist. Nightbane: Back off man... She's not interested
in you.
Milan smiles and turns to Nightbane. Milan: There's no girl that
resists me. He says coyly. He then gets serious and tosses
Nightbane aside with a spirit enhanced throw. Nightbane tries to
get up, as a few students go over to him. One heals his broken
bones.
Milan: Damn... Didn't know you were so weak! He says with a
chuckle.
He then turns to Mizu, walking over to her. Mizu panicked for a
moment before Kindron glared at Milan.
Kindron: Hey. Don't even think about it. Go home... Before you
get hurt. He says with a seriousness in his voice. He was
already tired of Milan, but wasn't about to tolerate Milan
trying anything with his best friend.
Milan goes over and puts his hand on Mizu's arm, almost like he
was taunting Kindron. Milan: And what are you going to do about
it? Tell your daddy, Mr. Headmaster kid?
Kindron glares and jumps over the couch, making his way over to
Mizu and causing Milan to jump back in surprise.
Kindron: No... I'm gonna cut your arm off. I'd cut your d*ck
off, but that seems to be where your brain is. He says
sarcastically.
Milan smiles darkly. Milan: Oh this will be fun! I can't wait to
feed you to my familiar! He says as he gets ready. Summon!
Dragon Spirit Mira! He says before he notices Kindron was no
longer in front of him. He looks around frantically, not only
realizing Kindron was behind him, but realizing his familiar
didn't summon as he looks over to Kindron who had his arm behind
his back and his spirit sword, Kogetsu, in his hand.
Milan: Why didn't my familiar summon?
Kindron: You don't remember the basic rules do you? You can't
summon when your body is in peril. He says with a smile.
Milan: In peril? He says, confused. I'm not in peril. But you're
going to be! He says with gritted teeth.
Kindron: For the top ranked student, your not the brightest bulb
are you? He says to him with a coy smile.
Milan: What are you talking about?! If you're going to attack,
then attack! He says to Kindron angrily. By now he was noticing
a horrified look on everyone's faces, though he hadn't realized
why, just assuming that they were horrified of a fight about to
break out.
Kindron: Idiot... I already did. He says as he reveals the arm
behind his back was holding Milan's severed arm. Kindron tosses
the arm to the ground next to Milan.
Milan's face goes pale as he realizes that Kindron cut his arm
off, and notices that he was bleeding heavily from where his arm
was cut off and starts screaming.
Kindron calmly walks over as he picks up the arm. Kindron: I'll
reattach this on one condition... You don't mess my dorm mates.
They're mostly good people and they're among the few people I
tolerate in this school. He then smiles. But you're free to try
your luck challenging me at any time. He says.
Milan: Fine! You win this time! He says, in pain. Kindron
responds to reattaching Milan's arm, healing it. Kindron then
used his family's alchemic spirit art to dissolve the blood on
the ground.
Milan leaves, his face pale still. As Milan leaves, Kindron goes
over and finishes healing Nightbane.
Kindron: That was pretty ballsy, standing up to someone stronger
than you... But you stood up for the girls, and that's pretty
respectable. He says as he helps Nightbane up.
Nightbane: Thanks, man... I just wish I was strong enough to do
something.
Kindron: Then get stronger. Train harder. You'll get there. He
says to Nightbane.
Nightbane: I don't get it... How did you beat the number one
ranked student?
Kindron looks to Nightbane. Kindron: I'm only number three
because I'm lazy. If I tried hard enough, I'd be number one
pretty easily by a large margin. It's mostly the written tests
on ethics that are the reason I'm not. He says as he goes and
sits down.
Toriko looks over to Nightbane and the group. Toriko: You
know... I'm starting to feel like Kindron isn't as much of a
jerk as he pretends to be.
Nightbane: I agree.
End Flashback.
Kindron finished his food, and went to the place that Milan had
told them to meet. However, when he got there, he noticed his
dorm-mates to the side, with Mizu and Nightbane sitting with
their group.
Kindron: What the hell? Why is everyone here?
Milan smiles. Milan: I want them to see me tear you apart. He
says darkly.
Nightbane: Well that's not creepy at all. He says sarcastically.
Kindron: This is a challenge fight... No killing. He says
sternly.
Milan: I can do what I want. He says with a glare. Let's make a
bet... If I win, your friends become my friends become my
servants.
Kindron: No deal. He says simply.
Milan: What's the matter, afraid you'll lose? He says with a
chuckle.
Kindron: First... Not falling for that cliche... He says with a
sigh. Secondly, my friends lives are not mine to bargain with.
Milan shrugs. Milan: So you're just a coward after all. He takes
out a vial, in which the spirit energy inside was bubbling.
Kindron, realizing what Milan was about to do, gets ready.
Kindron: Is that... What I think it is?
Milan: That's right... Hollow spirit. Taking this, I'll become a
hollow. He says as he takes the vial. Even though Kindron tries
to stop him, hoping to stop Milan from corrupting himself, Milan
changes with his spirit energy pushing Kindron back. The spirit
energy grows as Milan grows in power as his spirit becomes that
of a hollow, and he takes on the form of a vasto lorde hollow.
Milan: Haha! I'm finally stronger than you! He says with a
laugh, echoed by his hollow mask.
Kindron: You can't beat me! Not like this! He says as Milan
attacks. Milan tries to hit Kindron, but Kindron jumps the
attack and punches Milan's hollow mask. However, while Kindron
knew the mask was the weakpoint for a hollow, Milan's mask was
harder than he expected, so Kindron did nothing but break his
bones trying to punch Milan's mask. Kindron jumps back,
regenerating his hand in bursts of dark flames.
Kindron: Damn... That mask is hard. He says as he finishes
regenerating.
Milan: I told you... I'm finally stronger than you! He says with
a chuckle.
Kindron: If I were any other warrior... Maybe. But look what it
cost you. You've turned yourself into a monster. He says to
Milan, his voice no longer harsh, but sorrowful at Milan giving
up his humanity to become a hollow.
Milan tries to attack again. Kindron catches Milan's fist as
Milan tries to punch him, and then catches Milan's other hand
when Milan tries to punch him with the other hand.
As they try to overpower each other, Kindron skids back, not
able to fully hold Milan back.
From the side, many of Kindron's friends look in surprise.
Toriko: No... Even Kindron can't compete with that power! That
thing is stronger than Kindron! I remember measuring Kindron's
power, and Milan's is stronger than Kindron's spirit power! She
says in a panic.
Mizu, who was the only not worried, just looks at Kindron. Mizu:
He's not. You took his power reading when you first met him.
He's a lot stronger than that now.
Toriko turns to Mizu. Toriko: Wait what? I thought he didn't
train. He's always relied on natural talent and his childhood
training.
Mizu smiles. Mizu: If you think that, then you don't know
Kindron at all. He trains every day, and when he naps, he uses
his family's disciplined mind training to do mental image
training. He works harder than any of us at getting stronger.
Kindron turns his head and smiles to Mizu, holding back Milan.
Kindron: Listen to her. She's the only one that truly
understands me... He then turns back to Milan. But... What I'm
about to do might surprise even her. He says with a smile as he
closes his eyes and focuses.
Kindron starts to glow blue as he powers up. His hair spikes up
and turns dark blue, and his eyes change to yellow. He gains
wings of spirit energy and a halo made of flames above his head
as he seems to power up into a transformation unique to him.
After powering up, he starts pushing back Milan with ease who
tries to overpower Kindron but can't.
Milan: Impossible! How is this possible?! He says angrily as he
tries to overpower Kindron.
Toriko: What is that? She says as she turns to Mizu, but notices
Mizu is as confused as she was.
Nightbane: It's a divine state... He says, studying the form
Kindron was in. I heard about them, but I didn't think Kindron
of all people had one.
Kindron punches Milan hard in the stomach, sending him flying
across the battlefield. Milan gets up, regenerating the wound
with his hollow regeneration.
Kindron: Remember that field trip we took to that village? He
says to his friends, his voice echoing due to the form he was
in. When they all nod, Kindron continues. I mentioned they were
all almost as strong as me, with some being stronger in spirit
power than me. I went back and talked to them after the field
trip. And I figured out why the Spirit police don't have to
operate there. It's because those people in that village
meditate and learned to unlock their abilities through
meditation. They taught me how to unlock this form. It wasn't
easy, but I trained there for months before I unlocked this form
through meditation and a good heart, which wasn't easy for me.
This is my own divine state. And this is only my enhanced normal
form. If I use this with my Darkfire released form, I could
probably release 8 times as much power as this form does...
Roughly. I haven't fully tested it, but that's my estimate.
Milan looks at Kindron with a look of suprise. Milan: This isn't
right! You're supposed to die! He says angrily. And now you're
telling me you have enough power to beat me again?!
Kindron: I didn't even have to use this power... If I'd used my
normal state with my divine energy, the amplification from that
alone would have been enough. He says to Milan. But I wanted to
show you what you gave up when you became a monster... He says
as he walks toward Milan, who backs away.
Milan: I can't lose again! He says as he summons a sword and
tries to attack Kindron, but Kindron simply summons his spirit
sword, Kogetsu to block the sword. Kindron appears to vanish in
a burst of Sonido and after he reappears behind Milan, slashes
appear in Milan's shoulders and his mask shatters from Kindron's
attacks.
Nightbane, watching the fight, rubs his eyes sarcastically.
Nightbane: Seriously... I missed every attack. It was just too
fast for me. I must need glasses... He says with a sigh.
Milan falls to the ground, as he is forced back to normal as
Kindron uses his spirit power to purify Milan of as much of the
corruption as he could. After he was done, he sighs. Kindron: I
guess I'm going to have to call the old man. He's going to need
more purification than I can pull out for him.
Kindron powers down, and was getting ready to pick up Milan
before Kindron was forced to jump back to avoid two new people
who had just appeared.
Kindron jumped back, having sensed the two newcomers. One had
appeared in a burst of flames, riding in on automated roller
skates, while the other had moved in what appeared to be similar
to a burst of lightning. Kindron could immediately tell the two
weren't from Spirit Academy, and almost immediately recognized
the darkness he felt from them. It wasn't till the two were
right in front of Kindron that the others had notices them due
to how fast they had moved in. Kindron's reaction time had
allowed him to react in time, but Kindron's friends hadn't even
followed the afterimages of these two new arrivals.
Kindron looks at the two with a glare. Kindron: I'm guessing you
two must be from the Dark Academy right? I recognize that
darkness.
The man with the fire power smiles. Man: Well... Nothing gets
past you, huh mate? My name is Spitfire Hazeldine. My friend
here is Nue Hazeldine.
Nightbane: They're from Dark Academy? And they're Hazeldines? He
says surprised. I thought the Hazeldines weren't allowed in our
territory!
Mizu: They're not... Them being here could spark major
conflicts... The Darkfire/Hazeldine relations are fragile. Last
time a falsified murder of one of the Hazeldines almost sent the
Darkfires and Hazeldines into their fourth war. She explains.
Kindron looks at the two Hazeldines. Kindron: Were you the ones
who gave Milan that hollow energy?
Spitfire: We were. It was a gift from dear old dad. He says with
a smile.
Kindron growls and attacks Spitfire and Nue, but the two combine
their powers and knock Kindron back, sending him flying back.
Kindron gets up. Though he wasn't really too hurt, he looks at
them.
Nue: You're not bad. Show me that divine state again.
Kindron powers up again, fully motivated to defeat the two.
Nue smiles. That's it... I just needed to see that one more
time. He closes his eyes and powers up, almost as though he had
copied Kindron's actions to reach his divine state. Immediately,
Nue's hair spikes up and turns white with his eyes turning blue,
while lightning around his body seeming to boost his movement.
Lightning energy seemed to make lightning marks across his
clothes which seemed to generate lightning.
Kindron looks, surprised. Kindron: Impossible... It took me
months to learn that.
Nue smiles and looks to Kindron. Nue: Let's go a few rounds. He
says as he gets ready to attack. But before he could attack, his
divine state deactivates, as he couldn't hold the form. His eyes
widen as he realized what happened.
Nightbane: God I wish I could play a record scratch... It would
have been funny as hell. He says jokingly to Nue powering down,
causing their friends to chuckle.
Kindron looks to Nue. Kindron: I take it you can copy my power,
but you haven't trained so you can't maintain it.
Nue: So it appears this time... But next time, I'll do better. I
guess I'd better leave for now.
Kindron: No way... You are going to explain to my father why you
showed up here! He says angrily as he goes to attack. Nue and
Spitfire dodge Kindron's full speed, and manage barely manage to
avoid Kindron. However, while Kindron can beat them both
individually with ease in their current states, the two together
seem to get the better of Kindron as they outmanuever him and
then they combine their powers and hit Kindron again, knocking
him back.
After Kindron recovers he gets up, but notices Spitfire skate
out in a burst of fire, while Nue seems to fly away in a blast
of lightning.
Kindron powers down as well.
Mizu: Are you alright, Kindron? She says, rushing over.
Kindron: I'm fine... He then turns to the group. Is everyone
alright?
Mizu: We're fine.
Nightbane: That was so cool, man! You got to teach us that
divine state thing! He says excitedly.
Kindron: I might have to... He says with a sigh.
Toriko: Why? She asks curiously.
Kindron: I can beat those two on my own, but I can't beat a
group of them. I'm pretty sure those two were two of the eight
kings of the clan. And they weren't even the strongest one. He
says as he looks to where Spitfire and Nue left to. It seems
Corello was right... I may have to start that study group after
all. If the Hazeldines attack us, we're going to need everyone
to be at their best. He says to the group.
Nightbane: Can't you just use your Darkfire released form? You
did say you'd be a lot stronger that way.
Kindron: I could... But I can only stay in that for a short
time. If the 8 kings gang up on me, I don't even known if that
will be enough. I'm actually not even sure I can beat their
strongest child who's Dovelthain's second in command.
Mizu: I agree. I hate to say it, but I think we had better start
training harder. The Hazeldines don't come this way, and them
being here is not a good sign.
Kindron: If they're here, then they're planning something. And
I'm betting the head of the Dark Academy is behind it... If they
wanted me dead, they might have been able to pull it off. This
was about something else. He says with a serious look. Go back
to the dorm. I need to report this to my father right away. He
says to the group. The group nods as they head back to the dorm.
Kindron makes sure they make it back to the dorm and then starts
heading to the headmaster's office.
Kindron: Why do I feel like my shitty day is about to get even
shittier... He says, knowing he was likely in for a lecture from
his father about how he handled the Milan situation. But all of
his friends were okay, and that was enough for Kindron. Kindron
only hoped he could train them enough to fight the Dark Academy
if they decided to attack. The Hazeldines were known for
purifying darkness based dark arts, and Kindron knew better than
anyone how dangerous they were since he'd met the family before.
However, Kindron knew that his strength would likely be
necessary to help his father take on Dovelthain.
When he gets into the office, he sees the last person he
expected and gives a look of surprise to his uncle, Qrow
Branwen.
Kindron: Not who I expected. What are you doing here?
Qrow: Hey kid... Came to see your old man.
Kindron: If you're here, it can't be good.
Qrow: No. It's not. Kuo needs to hear about this. I found
evidence the Hazeldines are here in the city.
Kindron sighs and rubs his chin, thinking. Kindron: I just saw
two of them in the training area where I was fighting Milan.
They gave him something that turned him into a hollow. And
before I could bring him to be purified, they ran off with him.
He says.
Qrow: They were here in the academy?! He says in surprise.
Kindron: Yeah... I fought two of them, and they almost
overwhelmed me. I'm still a little pissed that they're almost at
my level. I know they're vampires, but I still feel like I
should be stronger. I might have been able to beat them if I
used my Darkfire release form, but I get the feeling they were
just scouts. If they wanted me dead, they'd have gone full power
on me. They didn't even use those regalia they have.
Qrow: Then they're up to something. Rumor was that Dovethain was
mobilizing the Dark Academy for something. And now it seems like
they're scouting out our strongest warriors.
Kindron: Yeah. It's been a long day. He goes and sits down. He
then smiles. So... Can you give me some of your whiskey? He says
jokingly.
Qrow: Nice try kid. He says jokingly back.
Kindron: Worth a shot... He says with a shrug.
It was the end of another day, and Kindron had a feeling more
was to come. But for now, he'd chased off the two Hazeldines
that appeared, even if it felt intentional that only two of them
were present.
End.
