Serious:Satoshis temporary loneliness, the path to strength. (swordsmen only)

It seems that they had finally reached a set of stairs that lead to a temple at the top/Satoshi climbed these stairs all the way up, and opened the big doors to the temple. Inside the temple were many statutes and paintings. Satoshi looked around and then a voice spoke "Welcome young ones....."

Xane followed the person and heard the voice aswell as he looked around, "Who's there?" He asked as he searched and examined the room looking for the location of the voice.

Genshi arrived to a certain point on the mountain, he saw some downed Golems,

"Man, it's cold. Who could have done this?" He looked around and saw a path, He folowed it.

"I hould've brought a coat." he said running up the path

An old man was in the middle of the temple, he was holding a rather interesting looking sword. He loked up "You , children of the blade have come here seeking knowledge yes? or have you been driven here by your greed for power i wonder?...."

Satoshi felt slightly at home with this old man, there was something familiar about him.

Genshi ran up the staircase he had earlier noticed,

"If I run, I'll keep warm." He said, sneezing.

He had almost fallen off, but after a second sneeze, he tripped.

"Is this place even worth the cold? Whats up here anyways?."

he stood up and shouted,

"What is so great about this mountaaaaaaain!!." He held out his ear, awaiting a response.

Satoshi heard a noise, and the old man chuckled "Ho, ho, ho, being young meaning a lot of spirit...."

He heard little. It sounded like laughter.

"WHo is laughing at me! Show yourself." he shouted, Genshi was turning sneezing again.

"This is bad. Hope theres something up here to warm me up." He was slowly going up the stairs.

Satoshi sees someone else enter the temple.
The old man chuckled "Well, well, all the players are here, how interesting...."

Genshi ran up the stairs and made it to the top, he saw a temple with its door open. He walked in.

"Does anyone have anything warm I can wear?" He asked.

The old man pointed to the cabinet "There are some coats in there my son.., go ahead.."

Satoshi was surprised at how hospitable this man was.

Genshi ran to the cabinet and put a coat on.

"Thanks old man. Who're you guys? Is there anithing cool up here?" he asked.

"Shut up kid" Xane said with a little hostility towards the person who had just arrived, he began to walk slowly towards the old man looking a little uneasy. "Quit this charade and tell us who the heck you are" He said stopping close to the old man looking directly at him and waiting for an answer.

"Who are you calling a kid?" Genshi shouted, he fingered his swords.

"Do you wanna fight?"

((BTW Genshi.... Isnt your character in malik's RP? How can he be in 2 plces at once?))

The old man laughed "ho, ho, ho, violence is not the answer my boy...."

the old man was suddenly behind Xane holding a cup of cocoa, he handed the cocoa to Genshi "Here it is quite tasty..."

Satoshi was shocked at the speed of the man, and he knew that technique "Old man, how do you know my lightning beast style?"

The old man walked slowly back to his seat "Because i was the one who founded it my boy......."

Xane turned instantly surprised at the old man's speed "What the-" He then turned towards the man and spoke once more, " You still ain't told us who you are"

The old man caressed his beard "Oh, thats right i havent done that yet have i? I am Sanada Genichirou ...., a poor hermit who lives here....."

Satoshi was not buying somethings "You lie, my father founded the lightning beast style, he was the one who founded the style"

The old man chuckled "And he is right, he gave a name to the style and al the techniques, i never named my style you see, i taught your father who decided to begin the lightning beast sword style....."

Satoshi was shocked at hearing this, he had never asked his father where he learnt the style from, he had always assumed he came up with everything.

Xane was beginning to get confused again, "What is this 'lightning beast sword style' and what does it have to do with anything?"

Satoshi looked up "Its my sword style, i am supposed to be the last user of this style, my father told me to come here on day......" The old man laughed "Yes..., your father was a good fighter, i trained him well" The old man walked to the main area and picked up a vial of dark looking liquid, Satoshi gasped

Xane watched as the man pulled out the vile and he saw the other person's expression, his reaction suggested that the vile was probably something of importance. "What is that?"

((*gasp!? Sanada!? he is gotten old lol XD playing too much tennis for rikkaidai)

Then suddenly the room was getting hot. Then a silhouette appeared at the back of the door. He then produced a ball of magma in his hands. It seems that you finally have found someone that can take your test huh Old man Sanada? . The figure then became clearer. It was Seta.

((lol, well im a big fan of POT and sports manga in general, so i wanted to give a shout out to some characters, its just the name and well, soon this will all make sense))

Sanada looked back and saw Seta "Ho, Seta kun, did you complete the training that you were trying to do?"

Satoshi saw Seta enter, the aura surrounding him was incredible, but he had no time to concentrate on this new person, the vial he just saw "That, that is the secret liquid of Tendo, it pulls all energy and potential out to your strongest form......."

Sanada chuckled "Yes, in my case, it would simply revert me back to the form of when i was younger and much stronger, when i was considered the saint of swords......"
((lol another reference to another anime, im sorry if you guys dont like it...))

A devil fruit user, he was beginning to wonder just how many people were gonna join. Xane stood there thinking to himself for a while with a blank look =_=, he completely ignored everything that just happened just now and reverted back to the main question he wanted answered, "So what's the deal with the golems?"

((its okay. i myself am a fan of PoT. especially Ryoma Echizen. Sanada got pawned by Yukimura in the new manga btw.))

Well yes I have. Fighting one golem was too easy so I took 2 of them at the same time. Same results though. Got melted by my magma. You gonna use the liquid already? I'll watch. Seta then closed his fists and made the small ball of magma explode. He then stands beside Sanada

The old man looked at Xane and laughed "The golems? They are the guardians of the shrine, they belong to the shrine and have been here for over thousands of years, it seems the sun and the moon power them in ways i do not understand, however, they have come to accept me as their current caretaker, they do not hurt anyone i command them not to....however, they do attack people who hurt the peace of the village, that is something i encourage....."

Satoshi was not listening to the golem conversation, he was thinking of another thing "SAINT OF SWORD? THAT IS YOU?? The legendary swordsman who stood at the top of the world a long time ago? This makes sense now....., ((Satoshi draws out his sword)) I challenge you for your title.... as well as the other half of my familys legacy......"

Sanada chuckled again at the sight of Satoshi's sword "The lightning god. Such a beautiful blade, but its full power is only complied with the Thunder god......" Sanada held up a sword which seemed to be jewel encrusted with Sea stone/Kairouseki. Satoshi finally found the thing he was searching for.
