The Rasoul Saga: Chapter 17 (Part 2)



Mancer nodded his head in acknowledgement to Kyle’s very small Rasoul Kick. “Very good. Now you’re making progress on the Rasoul Kick as well, and that is a very good thing. However, now I would like to try to speak to you on the subject of the Rasoul Dimension once madami before we go off on something else again. Also, I don’t want to tell you what my brothers can teach you due to the fact that I would rather it be a surprise to you. I’m sure you’ll find their teachings and way of teaching much different than the way I teach you when I’m finished with helping you. But, that’s going to be a while from now due to the fact that there’s still many basic moves that I would still like for you to learn.”

“I understand that there’s still basic moves that you want me to learn, but then I can’t help myself from being curious, you know? I’m sure that you wanted to know a lot of things, or I’m sure that there’s still things that you want to know madami about,” Kyle said, beginning to charge Rasoul energy into his arm once more.

“Indeed, there is, and I intend to teach them to you as soon as I possibly can,” Mancer sinabi through a quiet sigh, which surprised Kyle slightly.

“Is there a reason why you sighed, Mancer? …Am I changing the subject too much again?” Kyle asked.

“Well, the subject has changed a bit again, but the sigh was for the fact that I had a thought come to me. I just want to be able to teach you everything as quickly as possible, and once again, I feel like I’m not working with you quick enough or I’m not teaching you as well as I should be,” Mancer said.

“But it could be some of my fault as well, Mancer… Maybe I’m not working hard enough, so maybe that’s part of the reason why I haven’t learned anything quickly?” Kyle said, turning his head to look at Mancer once again.

“No, I’m not blaming you at all. You still have school and all kinds of family matters to attend to, so I’m not going to blame you one bit for slow training,” Mancer sinabi as he shook his head slightly. “Like I already said, I’m only going to blame myself sa pamamagitan ng not moving your training along at a quicker rate. I should have been taking you to the Rasoul Dimension and telling you madami about the Rasoul Embodiments and Rasoul sooner than now.”

“Well, I still don’t consider it your fault,” Kyle said, still practicing with his Rasoul manuntok and Rasoul Kick; he hadn’t really improved any madami than he had already at this current moment, though he was still trying and still attempting to improve on his two Rasoul attacks.

Mancer started to speak to Kyle again, but he stopped when the sound of car doors shutting were heard. He turned his head towards the road in front of Kyle’s house. “That sounded like it was in front of your house. Perhaps your parents are tahanan now.”

“Well, I could see it being time for them to come home. I mean, apparently they’ve been gone for quite some time,” Kyle sinabi as he made all of his Rasoul energy that he was using disappear. “Does that mean you’re going to leave now, Mancer? Or do you want to ask my parents if you can stay?”

“I should probably be taking my leave now,” Mancer replied, turning his head to look at Kyle. “Normally I might like to stay and chat, but I would like to be going tahanan and taking a rest. Trust me, when I haven’t been here with you, I’ve had really busy and rough days outside of helping you lately, and I honestly need some rest.”

“Did you just have a really bad araw or something like that, Mancer?” Kyle asked, tilting his head to the side just slightly. He moved towards the backdoor of his house, preparing to go inside. “Are things that rough on you while you’re at home?”

“Well, I do have a job, Kyle. I am an adult after all, which means that I have a job that I have to do,” Mancer replied. “That’s why I can’t stay long or that’s why I’m not here constantly. Like I said, I have a job, and that’s what puts a lot of stress on me… That’s why I sinabi I feel like I need a break.”

“Really? What kind of job do you have?” Kyle asked, feeling curious as to what job that Mancer might have based on his personality and what all he knew about Rasoul and other things. “Do you have a job in the Rasoul Dimension since you told me that’s where you live?”

“Yes, that’s where my job is. I would stay and chat for a bit on what it is if you wanted to know, but, I think I’ll be leaving right now. I’m sure your parents want to see you, don’t you think?” Mancer sinabi as he started off around the side of the house towards the road. “I’ll see you some other time, Kyle. Perhaps we can work on your training some madami when we do see each other again.”

“Alright then, that sounds okay to me. I’ll see you again, Mancer,” Kyle called after his black and red Nighless teacher as he gave a wave towards him; the Nighless simply waved back and then disappeared around the side of the house. Kyle walked into his house via the backdoor and closed it behind him, looking towards the living room. “Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad,” He called, seeing both of his parents in the living room.

“Hello, Kyle,” Kushina called towards her son with a smile. “Were you outside with your teacher? Daniel sinabi that you were.”

“Yeah, that’s where I was. Sorry about that…” Kyle said, coming into the living room. “We got time carried away from us, or so I think… I’m learning, though! Anyway, he left now, so I came back in to see you and Dad.”

“Well, thank you for coming to see us,” Kushina sinabi with a smile. She started off towards the kitchen. “So what are you going to do now, Kyle? Are you hungry at all?”

“No, I’m not really that hungry. I was planning on just sitting down and maybe watching some TV if that’s alright with you,” Kyle said, turning his head to look at his mother. Kushina nodded her head and told her son that this would be fine, so the yellow hedgehog told his mother thank you and then went to the living room to sit on the sopa and relax for a while. He still felt quite happy with himself that he had made slight progress on his two new Rasoul moves, and he was honestly eager to have a chance to work with Mancer again susunod time.


……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...


His long black magsuot ng bata gently blew behind him as he slowly walked through the shadows of buildings in the Rasoul Dimension; he was on the hunt for something that could aid him in defeating the enemies who were stepping into his way and plans. The gentle breeze blew and tugged on the hood of his magsuot ng bata slightly, but not enough for it to pull the hood down; this person lurking in the shadows was none other than the Dark Horses leader Vice himself. He searching for someone or something… but what could it be?

The Dark Horses leader scanned his eyes over the passing crowds of Nighless and other species such as Mobians, keeping his eyes narrowed in concentration as if he was looking quite intently and closely for the person or object that he was intent on finding. He had come alone, leaving the other Dark Horses members behind at the HQ; he hadn’t told them where he was going, as this was his plan, and his plan alone. His team members could find out when the time was right; they didn’t need to know right now.

Vice had thought that Kyle would once be useful in his plans, but that had changed now; his mind was on something else, a greater power than what the yellow hedgehog alone held. However, his plans would not be able to be set in motion at all unless he would be able to find the thing that would give him greater power than Kyle ever could.

Vice’s searching eyes continued searching the sea of faces as many people continued walking sa pamamagitan ng and about, all enjoying their normal everyday lives. The Dark Horses leader’s eyes continued looking until they fell upon a certain Nighless person in the crowd; the Nighless was an average citizen, a male one at that. The male Nighless was tall and fit, indicating that he either played sports or worked out. The male appeared to be around his twenties, which would mean that he was mature, but had plenty of energy, strength, and stamina to go around.

However, there was something that set this Nighless apart, or at least there was something that would catch one’s eye; this Nighless male had crescent moon shaped eyes, and he had very large wings, though the Nighless was not a bat; this Nighless was a Rasoulin Seeker. A grin spread across Vice’s face when he saw the Nighless; he could recognize a Rasoulin Seeker from just about anywhere, due to the fact that he knew their traits quite well. What he also knew was that Rasoulin Seekers had extremely powerful Rasoul energy, usually even stronger than an average Nighless’ Rasoul, and definitely madami powerful than the Rasoul that Kyle Waktini had.

Vice also knew another fact about the Rasoulin Seekers; Rasoulin Seeker Rasoul was also madami powerful when exposed to direct moonlight. The Dark Horses leader looked up towards the sky, looking up at the full moon that hung in the starry night sky; it had gotten much later since Kyle and Mancer had visited the Rasoul Dimension earlier in the day. Vice’s grin didn’t fade due to seeing that the moon was out, but he did know that this meant that he had to be careful; Rasoulin Seekers were powerful fighters, especially underneath the moonlight like sinabi before. Vice lowered his hood slightly before slipping off through the crowd, heading towards the Rasoulin Seeker that he had seen on the other side of the crowd.

The Rasoulin Seeker didn’t think anything, as he didn’t see Vice making his way over to him. The Seeker simply continued walking forward, but he didn’t realize that Vice was following him from a ligtas distance. The Rasoulin Seeker continued walking on his way, and he was able to walk peacefully and quietly until he had gotten far away from the crowds of busy passerby; it was that moment that Vice sped up in his walking until he was right behind the Seeker, and then he attempted to make his move.

Vice reached out quickly and grabbed ahold of the Rasoulin Seeker’s wings, sending a shock of Rasoul energy painfully shooting all throughout the Rasoulin Seeker’s body. The Rasoulin Seeker responding quickly, releasing a yell of pain as he quickly tried to jerk away from Vice’s grip; he did jerk out of Vice’s grip, but painfully so. Due to the Rasoul Shock from Vice, he would himself unable to use his wings at this current point in time, and simply settled with starting to run from Vice.

Vice glared slightly at the Rasoulin Seeker before quickly giving chase, already beginning to gain on the Nighless. “I simply need your help for a plan on mine,” The Dark Horses leader called after the running Nighless. “Don’t attempt to make me use madami force against you than I have to.”

The Rasoulin Seeker released a hiss to Vice, obviously wanting no part in whatever plan that he had. The Seeker quickly turned around and began firing Rasoul energy at Vice, attempting to attack back while he was still running. Vice simply held his hands out, and absorbed the Rasoul energy that came flying at him almost as if it was nothing.

Vice fired the Rasoul energy back at the Rasoulin Seeker, who quickly slid to the side to dodge the blast. Vice released an angry growl as he shot his own Rasoul energy at the Seeker, who continued dodging the Rasoul energy. The Seeker turned back around and continued running forward, before quickly taking a turn and dashing off down a nearby alleyway in an attempt to confuse Vice. Vice nearly overshot the alleyway in his running, but he was able to quickly turn on his heels and dash off down the alleyway in chase of the Seeker. The Seeker ran through the alleyway until he came to a dead end, which made him stop running as he frantically looked around for a way out without getting caught sa pamamagitan ng Vice. The Seeker noticed a large fence to the side, and quickly began trying to climb up the fence before Vice was able to get to him.

Vice released an angry growl, running over to the fence as quickly as he could; the Seeker was about halfway up the large fence when the Dark Horses leader jumped onto the fence and began climbing himself. In an attempt to catch the Seeker, Vice formed Rasoul energy under his feet and blasted himself upwards towards the Seeker, and grabbed onto the Seeker’s wings tightly as they both flew upward and over the fence due to the Rasoul Blast that Vice had done. The Seeker and Vice both fell over the fence and landed roughly on the ground, both of them clawing and punching at each other.

Vice swung a Rasoul-charged manuntok at the Seeker, attempting to knock the Seeker out. The Seeker jerked his head to the side, just barely missing Vice’s fist. The Seeker quickly raised his own hands and sent a very large Rasoul Projectile blasting into Vice, which sent the Dark Horses leader flying back onto the ground, growling in pain from the tremendous power behind the blast of the Rasoul; Seeker Rasoul indeed was much madami powerful under the energy from the moon.

The Seeker quickly tried to get up and start running away from Vice once again, but the Dark Horses member was able to get up quick enough that the Seeker hadn’t gotten that far away. Vice released another angry growl, attempting to ignore the pain from the large Rasoul blast that had hit him. Vice once again used his Rasoul energy to blast himself forward, which sent him flying pasulong at a very high speed. He slammed into the Seeker very roughly, both of them slamming down onto the ground once again.

Vice formed Rasoul energy around his fist and swung a heavy manuntok at the Seeker once again, this time managing to hit the Seeker in the side of the head. The Seeker’s head was knocked down back against the ground, which knocked the Seeker out cold. Vice stood up, looking down at the knocked out Seeker. “There, finally. With power like that, I’m sure that this Rasoulin Seeker will be very useful to me,” He said, having anger in his voice due to trying to catch the Seeker. He formed Rasoul energy around the Seeker, and then used the Rasoul energy to raise the Seeker into the air almost like telekinesis; he was also using this Rasoul to restrain the Seeker just in case he woke up before Vice was able to take him back to his HQ. Vice then snapped his fingers, and then he and the captured Seeker disappeared almost as if they had teleported away.
