The Legend of Kion
Band God arc Episode eight: The most unexpected tag team
----
Kion arrived at the tournament arena with Jasiri, as both of them walked up to the stand. Kion then speaks in a pumped up mood. "Are there still some open placements for the tag team?"
"Why yes, of course." The sign up guy responded, looking down at his sign up sheet. "Just fill your names in right here."
Kion signed his name in and then Jasiri signed in her name, with Jasiri responding with excitement. "This should be a fun one. (Turns to Kion with playful snark) Just keep in mind Kion, I won't lose this time if we battle."
Kion nodded, being ready for Jasiri's challenge, as he then saw two names that intrigued him. The names were shown to be Dogo and Tukio's names, filling Kion with determination. He became somewhat serious and then looked at Jasiri. "Well I know one thing's for sure. I'm not losing to Tukio." Jasiri became intrigued by Kion's vow as the lion continued. "If he thinks teamwork and friendship is pointless, then he'll see about that." Jasiri smiled and high fived Kion, having herself being motivated by Kion's words. Kion then turned to the sign up guy. "What's the date of the tournament?"
"It opens up three days from now;" The sign up guy explained. "So feel free to train all you like."
Kion and Jasiri nodded, speaking in sync as they spoke afterwards. "Thanks dude." Kion and Jasiri then headed off as Kion thought his rematch with Tukio, hoping he could control his body better when using the Kaioken. He decided to put those thoughts aside and train, knowing he couldn't let it distract him.
----
Dragon Ball Z Kai instrumental theme plays during the credits.
Kion was shown to be launching a Kamehameha at the screen as a male singer was heard singing Blazing Spirit.
"This world I see, holds such a deep, energy. (Energy.)"
Dogo was seen standing from a cliff in the Out lands, using an extremally large amount of power out of his control.
"Darkness will come, but I will go, fearless and free."
Simba was seen launching a ki beam at a generator, destroying it with one shot and then he and Kion were seen sparring in the Pride lands, with Kion starting it off in a similar way as Goku in the original opening.
"We share the strength, as well as love, that's how we live. (That's how we live.)"
Jasiri and Nala was seen watching the two spar, smiling at their session, as well as at each other in a friendly way.
"My courage won't fade, if you're with me, then Dark Kion can ne-ver win."
Kion and Simba collided a punch and then Tukio was shown with a ki orb in his left paw.
"Though there's also love and glory."
Janja was shown with a darkness sword in his paw, looking down at the Out lands.
"We shall live on with the story."
Kion was shown having a heart burn, to which Mheetu kneeled down to him in worry, being the only one there.
"There's not a thing we can't live through."
Dark Kion was then shown demonstrating his powers, as well as one where he can slice people in half with his glare.
"Evil won't make us die, we will rise again!"
Dark Kion's eye flashed, making the screen flash.
Kion and the others were seen fighting one at a time in between commas, starting with Kion fighting the blond mohawked lion, and then Simba fighting Chungu, and then Jasiri fighting Janja, and then Mheetu fighting Cheezi, and then Nala fighting another hyena, and then the jackal and Vitani being shown at the end with Vitani giving a Harley Quinn glare, and Dogo giving a child optomistic face.
"Don't stop, don't stop, don't give up now! Don't stop, there's too, much to be found!"
Dark Kion was then shown to be confronting Kion, who gave him a brave and noble look.
"We will find paradise, all we have to do is find that blazing spirit."
Kion sneered as he charged at Dark Kion with a punch, with just then the screen flashed just as that happened.
Kion then jumped back to where the others were standing and they were all then shown on the last lyrics, with Kion giving a peace sign and smile, Simba giving a calm yet cynical smile, Jasiri giving a fun loving wave, Mheetu giving a sneer and crossing his arms, Nala giving a timid yet kind smile, Dogo giving a bubbly and excited smile, and a lion silhouette looking about the same age as Kiara standing on a rock as the title behind them said The Legend of Kion.
"Blazing Spirit!"
----
Kion sparred with Simba, who landed a punch directly towards Kion's stomach. Kion rolled back and launched a Ki beam at Simba, who deflected it and allowed it to hit the lair wall. Kion lunged at Simba and landed a punch on his face, allowing Simba to grab his arm. He then kicked Kion in the side and threw him into the air. Simba charged up a Ki beam and launched it at Kion, who flew and back flipped away from it. Kion then launched his own Ki beam and launched it at Simba, hitting him, as Simba was still in his Ki beam launching stance.
Simba flew up into the air and started colliding punches and kicks with Kion, both of them feeling their bones tingle as they did. Kion then landed a knee on Simba's stomach, sending Simba back a bit. He launched a Ki blast at Simba, who then punched it back. Kion blocked the blast and then went into Kaioken mode, much to Simba's excitement. Kion charged at Simba and kneed him in the gut, back flip kicking him into the air. He rose up and ground pounded Simba into the floor, diving down and landing a kick as soon as Simba landed on the floor.
Kion jumped off of Simba and stayed in Kaioken, with Simba launching a Ki beam at him. Kion launched a Ki beam in his own right, creating a small explosion between the two. Kion and Simba both flew straight into the walls of the lair, getting up and laughing as Kion went out of Kaioken. Kion felt a small strain in his body, but it was nowhere near as big as the Kaioken times four strain, much to Simba's relief. The two brothers walked over to each other and high fived as Simba spoke up. "Nice work Kion."
"Thanks Simba." Kion said proudly, and then he remembered the tournament. "We'll do great in the tag team tournament, even if we aren't paired." Simba rubbed Kion's head affectionately, knowing Kion's words to be true.
----
Three days later.
----
The tournament arena was shown with Jasiri then being shown to be lying down on a bench in the arena. Kion then handed Jasiri a number, surprising her a bit until he spoke with free spirit. "This is your number Jasiri. We get them for signing up." Jasiri became interested by this information and accepted the number, looking at it with slight confusion. "It's basically something (Sits down next to Jasiri) we use so we can keep track of who's fighting who, and who's teamed up with who."
Jasiri took interest in this and gave Kion a quirky look. "Don't know why we'd have to do that, but it's useful I guess."
"I'm guessing they didn't have tournaments back in your day." Kion guessed.
Mheetu then suddenly jumped over Kion and Jasiri, holding his number up to them. "Say hello to the best child fighter's position!" Kion and Jasiri chuckled at Mheetu's cocky expression as he pointed to them. "This is the time that I have to team up with the best of the best, and kick all butt to reach the top. (Crosses arms) So prepare to deal with it."
"I've dealt with it for three years, and I can deal with it now." Kion brushed off Mheetu's cockiness as Mheetu then sat down next to him. "So who do you think we'll be paired up with?"
Mheetu started thinking about who his teammates could be, getting an idea of his own as he stood up and turned to the Kion and Jasiri. "Only the strongest warriors in the land that aren't up to the likes of us. (Leans in and whispers) Also Tukio."
Kion laughed a bit as he pushed Mheetu away lightly. "Don't worry about him Mheetu. I'm more than capable of taking him on."
"If taking him on means using your body to the strains, then go right ahead and do it." Jasiri snarked with a smile, leading to Kion flinching and looking at her. "Don't worry though. Kaioken obviously puts strain in general, so it's natural."
"Natural as in so cool!" Mheetu exclaimed as he went on about Kion's battle. "You had to be there Jasiri. They were flying and using Kamehamehas and Galick guns and so much more. It was so incredible that my brain exploded for a second! (Calm) But I guess their bodies just couldn't take it."
Jasiri took a liking to Mheetu's description as Kion spoke up. "And I'm working on taking better care of the Kaioken technique. No more triple for me unless I can control it, or am in a life or death scenario." Jasiri and Mheetu both high gived Kion, loving his spirit.
----
Kion and the others were seen out on the field as they waited for the announcments to play. Mheetu was seen hitting on some lioness in the stands, who then slapped him across the face. Nala was seen chatting with Simba about the tournament. "So who do you think you'll be paired up with?"
"Probably Kion or someone random. Anything can happen really." Simba looked around at the many contestants competing in the tournament, hoping to be put up with a good match. "You can get paired up with anyone in this case. (Looks at Nala and smiles) But even then, that's what this thing was made for."
Nala giggled as Mheetu then walked over to her. "I just got ditch slapped."
Jasiri jumped onto Mheetu's back, making him laugh. "That's whatya get for playin to early dude." Jasiri and Mheetu started wrestling as Kion walked over to them and watched. Just then, two figured charged at Jasiri and Mheetu, giving Jasiri instinct. She grabbed the figures and revealed them to be two cloaked lions. She then held them up to her face and glared at them. "Name, business, (Shows teeth) now."
The guards looked to see Mheetu unharmed as he waved to them, causing them to unclench Jasiri's paws. "Sorry, we thought you were fighting him."
"It's against the rules to fight before the tournament." The second guard explained.
"It's all good dudes." Mheetu leaned on Jasiri's shoulder. "Just some friendly tumble between two dutch ovening, fun loving, rough and tumble pals." Jasiri blushed while smiling at the mention of dutch ovening, making the guards chuckle as they walked off. Mheetu then stood up straight and looked at Jasiri. "That said, you're a girl. You got any advice?"
"Don't ask a tomboy for girl advice?" Jasiri snarked, giving Mheetu a face that showed how stupid his question was. Not in general, just to who he asked. "Why not ask Simba? He seems old enough to know."
Just then, Principal Audorn walked out onto the stage and up to the peak of the platform he was on. Fireworks errupted around Principal Audron as they exploded in the sky, making the audience roar with excitement. Pun utterly intended. "Everyone in the crowd. It is my honor to announce that the first tag team tournament in five years, is finally underway. This happens every five years, and it's more than exciting to behold. Now. Your teammates!"
The teammates were shown with Mheetu seeing that he was paired up with Dogo. "So I'm with the jackal? Should be fun." Dogo walked over to Mheetu and gave a cheeky smile, giving Mheetu high hopes for their teamwork. "Dude, you're just so adorable that I could eat you up. Literally."
"I don't know why you'd do that, but (Hugs Mheetu) team!"
Simba and Nala saw that they were paired up with each other. Simba looked at Nala, who appeared to be excited. "Let's do our best Nal. That lightning orb is ours."
Nala high fived Simba and spoke kindly. "Most agreed."
Jasiri saw that she was paired up with Tiffu, who she saw walking over to her with a smile of excitement. "So we're paired up then."
"I guess so;" Tiffu said with a bubbly, yet calm voice. "And I won't let you down."
Jasiri walked over to Tiffu and high fived her, feeling the same thoughts as her and speaking with a pumped up voice. "That's the spirit Tiffu. (Puts her paw on Tiffu's shoulder) And if you're wondering, than yes, I'm over the cow mask completely. At least for you." Tiffu smiled and hugged Jasiri, who wrapped her arms around her friend.
Kion saw that he was paired up with Tukio, giving him slight caution. "Tukio? I wonder what he'll do for teamwork." Tukio walked up to Kion with a cold look on his face, walking through the other contestants as if they were nothing to him. He walked up to Kion and stared at him with a cold, yet not too cold look. Kion gave a somewhat cocky smile as he spoke. "So someone as awesome as me in power is teamed up with me, and he doesn't even care for teamwork."
"I'm in this for the Band God orb." Kion became confused over Tukio's words, wondering what he'd want with the orb. "The Band God orbs provide a certain power when used, as well as their instruments. I can use the Lightning Band God orb's power for something useful, something I've been working up for months now. (Points to Kion) Don't get in my way, and I won't get in yours."
Kion growled at Tukio's rudeness as the blonde mohawked lion walked off, giving Kion caution. 'I'd better hold my guard up. Tukio's even stronger than me, so not many others will stand a chance.'
----
Kion and the others were seen talking about the tournament, wondering who they were fighting first. Kion was seen looking at the board, hoping for his opponents to be announced soon. "Can't they just show the fighters already? It's almost impossible for anyone to wait this long."
"Well it's only been ten minutes Kion." Nala said, believing that this stuff usually took longer. "Maybe they're lining up who's most worthy of fighting who."
"Honestly, I don't care who I battle." Kion replied with excitement. "Whoever it is, I'm gonna fight hard and be awesome." Kion then remembered what Tukio said about being able to use the Band God orb and became intrigued again. "One thing on my mind though is why Tukio wants the Band God orb."
"What do you mean?" Simba asked, intrigued to what Kion was talking about.
"Before he walked off, he mentioned that he could use the Lightning Band God orb's power for something." Kion explained. "That's something I wouldn't expect from him."
"It'd for Dogo." Kion became surprised and turned around to see Tukio sitting in a booth near him and the others. "And no, it's not a present. There's something I can see in Dogo about his capability to fight."
"What would the Band God orb do with helping Dogo?" Kion asked in intrigue.
"Well if it wasn't for how we first met, I wouldn't have even bothered." Tukio started to explain his plan. "It all started three months ago. Before the first Band God was found."
A flashback was shown with Tukio narrating what was happening to Kion and the others. "It all started back in the Out lands. I was just passing by, when I saw Dogo." Dogo was shown in the flashback as Tukio saw him running from Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu. "As usual, Janja and his friends were idiots and didn't think Dogo was too much. To be fair though, I was (Dogo stops at a cliff) in a similar position."
Dogo turned around in the flashback and became scared as Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu approached him. He then felt a large amount of power consume him, gaining a strong aura and screaming out as he launched a powerful Ki beam into the air. The beam flew down at Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu, hitting them as well as multiple parts of the area around them. The three of them were seen unconcious as Dogo snapped out of his trance as Tukio became amazed by his power.
Tukio walked over to Dogo, wanting to see his power for himself, just as Tukio continued to narrate for the flashback. "I had to see his power in full force. I just had to."
Dogo saw Tukio walking up to him with Tukio keeping a serious face as he spoke. "Hey kid. (Points to the destruction) Look what you did." Dogo became shocked upon the sight of the destruction, feeling bad for causing it. Tukio held his paw out as an offering to take Dogo in, which Dogo accepted with a smile.
The flashback ended as Tukio continued to speak. "Ever since then, I've tried my hardest to unlock Dogo's power. It could help me a lot, with...reasons." Tukio looked down at the table until the first match was shown, with Mheetu and Dogo seeming to be up against a male cheetah and a male leopard. Mheetu walked off and gave a thumbs up to the others, ready to meet Dogo on the ring.
----
Dogo and Mheetu walked down the hall leading to their end of the arena while Mheetu talked to Dogo about what Tukio told them. "So dude, Tukio told us about this epic power of yours that you used a while back. (Dogo flinches) You have any idea what that means?"
"Oh yeah, that was when I met Tukio." Dogo said, and then he laughed innocently. "I still can't believe it was only four months ago." Dogo began to wonder if his power was truly as great as Tukio said. "Sometimes I wonder if the power's really that great. It's kinda confusing on how much energy I used."
Mheetu became interested when he heard that as he and Dogo walked out onto the arena. The cheetah and leopard were seen at the other end as all four of them went into two leg mode. Principal Audorn walked out onto the platform above the arena and raised his paw. "Let the battle...(Puts paw down)begin!"
Dogo and Mheetu charged at their opponents as Mheetu took on the leopard, with Dogo handling the cheetah. Mheetu low kicked the leopard and put him off guard, punching him in the face afterwards. He then kneed the leopard in the stomach and grabbed his head, only for the leopard to grab his arm. The leopard threw Mheetu over his head, only for Mheetu to regain his balance and launch a Ki beam at him. The leopard blocked the Ki beam and remained to have little damage, despite being hit rather hard. Mheetu jumped up and charged multiple Ki blasts, launching them all at the leopard, who dodged them all except for the last one.
Dogo grabbed the Cheetah's paw and kicked him in the face, landing a solid blow on him. He then punched him in the stomach and threw him into the air. He rose up and charged up a Galick gun, launching the cheetah right into the sky upon launch. Dogo rolled in the air until he reached the floor, landing as he did so. The cheetah back flipped away from the blast and slid down it, jumping off and diving down at high speeds. Dogo saw this and backed away, making the cheetah crash straight into the floor.
Mheetu collided a punch with the leopard, who then kicked him right in the stomach and then punched him in the face. Mheetu withstood the leopard's attacks and grabbed his arm and threw him over him. He stepped on his face and kicked his chest, making him cough blood a bit. He then stepped off of the leopard and kicked his head up, kicking him in the back exceptionally hard. Afterwards, he set the peopard up and did Kid Gohan's throw from Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3. The leopard went flying into the wall as Mheetu finished him off with a Ki blast.
Dogo dodged the cheetah's punches and kicks with ease, knowing that he was holding back. He smirked and struck the cheetah where his heart should be, stunning him for a bit. "Ya know...this is kinda boring." Dogo kicked the cheetah off, finishing him and sending him into the wall. He then walked over to Mheetu with a dissapointed look. "These guys are pretty weak. (Excited) Let's hope Kion's stronger."
"Trust me dude; You won't be dissapointed." Mheetu assured Dogo with confidence.
Principal Audorn then raised his paw on the side of Dogo and Mheetu. "Shana and Mushino are unable to battle! Therefore, Dogo and Mheetu are the winners."
The crowd cheered for Dogo and Mheetu's victory, Kion and the others in particular. Kion shouted in a pumped up way. "Nice work Mheetu! Total knockout!" Mheetu gave Kion a thumbs up, ready to save him a match.
----
Zuri was seen walking through the hallway, hoping to find someone. She looked around looking anxious and she then saw Tiffu, who was getting ready for her match. "Tiffu." Zuri walked over to Tiffu, who noticed her, and gained a skeptical look. "Okay. So I know we've been on lackluster terms lately, but I need a huge favor from my little sister."
Tiffu thought for a moment and figured that Zuri was her sister, looking at her with compassion. "Speak up."
"Alright; So I thought about what happened when Jasiri first came to this school, and we pranked Jasiri with the cow mask." Tiffu nodded as Zuri continued. "So I was hoping that I could make up with Jasiri, but I'm worried she won't believe me." Tiffu nodded again. "And I was wondering if you could, maybe...tell her for me?"
Tiffu found Zuri's attempt to be somewhat pathetic, but couldn't hate her sister. She thought for a moment and came to a conclusion. "I can't choose weather or not she forgives you, or apologize for you, but I'll tell her you're trying to make amends."
Zuri nodded in understanding, willing to take any deal she could get. "Right. Got it. But don't spice coat anything." Tiffu nodded and walked off as she bidded Zuri farewell for now. "Hey. (Tiffu looks at Zuri) Good luck in your match." Tiffu smiled and nodded before she walked off, leaving Zuri somewhat satisfied. She then walked off and looked at the ground, wondering if she even deserved forgiveness.
----
Kion and the others were seen talking about Dogo and Mheetu's match, with Kion speaking first. "That really was a great battle Mheetu. Seeing tag team is really cool."
"Just wait until we get into the later rounds Kion." Simba said with assurance. "That's when the tag team's highlight comes in."
Kion became intrigued and looked at Simba with a smile on his face, more than excited to see what the highlight was. "What is it? I have to know!"
Simba and the others laughed a bit at Kion's excitement and then Simba spoke up. "It's basically where the teamwork really shines in. You'll pretty much have to work together in order to win."
Kion looked at Tukio at his booth with skeptisism, not knowing if he'd cooperate with that. "If my teammate was anyone other than Tukio then that'd be awesome."
"Save your breath." Tukio said, not even impacted by Kion's words. He stood up and gave Dogo a serious look. "Cmon Dogo. We've got some training to do, so no slacking." Dogo nodded and walked off with Tukio, bidding Kion and the others a see you later.
"Judging by what you guys told me about Tukio, I'm wondering what he considers trianing." Jasiri said, interested in what Tukio did for training, as he seemed rather cold hearted in general.
----
Dogo and Tukio were training somewhere in the woods as Tukio spawned some figures for Dogo to battle. "Alright Dogo. You know the drill."
Dogo nodded and went into a fighting stance, getting ready to battle the figures. The figures charged at Dogo, who kicked two of them apart and punched another one into a tree. Just then, another figure grabbed Dogo by his neck and kneed him in the back. "Ow!" The figure kicked Dogo into another tree, sending him to the top branch. Dogo looked down and then became worried, jumping down anyway and fighting off the figures. He managed to defeat some, but got punched and kicked by many more. "Tukio, these feel stronger than normal."
"That's because I sent them up to the max level." Tukio explained, wanting to push Dogo to his brinking point."
"What!?" Dogo got send back by another figure and charged a Galick gun, launching it at the figures. The figures put their palms in front of the Galick gun, blocking it with ease. Dogo became shocked until one of the figures teleported behind him, making him turn around and block his punch. Dogo kneed the figure right in the stomach, only to be kicked to the floor.
Kion and the others were seen walking by while Jasiri spoke about Tukio. "So even though I don't know much about him yet, he seems like a pretty strong fighter. Heck, I couldn't beat you in our tournament battle, and he managed to tie with you Kion. That's pretty impressive."
Kion whiffed his hair and spoke with both cockiness and confidence. "He still didn't beat me Siri. No one can beat how awesome I am." Jasiri rolled her eyes while smiling as Kion continued. "Still, I can see what you mean. If I didn't have to go Kaioken times four in order to win the beam collision, he would've beaten me."
Simba put his paw on Kion's shoulder as they continued walking. "Let's not forget though, that it would've also ended in a tie even if you didn't overpower yourself." Kion shrugged and then he and the others saw Dogo getting pummled.
"Hey, has Dogo always been that weak?" Mheetu asked with confusion.
"No Mheetu. They look like max level battle figures." Jasiri said, sharing her knowledge on the figures. "They don't stop until they've killed their opponent, or they surrender."
"Hold up, what!? Why would he be up against those!?" Nala shouted in a shocked expression, and then Kion became determined and rushed out onto the field, much to the surprise off everyone.
One of the figures punched Dogo in the face, making him bleed from his noce. Kion launched a Ki blast at the figures and made them all vanish, running to Dogo's aid with the others afterwards. He lifted Dogo's head as Dogo looked in a near unconcious shot, fainting afterwards as Tukio spoke. "How weak. (Kion growls at Tukio) And I finally thought he was ready, and you have to butt in to save his life."
Kion stood up, holding Dogo in his arms and glaring at Dogo. "Hey, don't you have the ability to say anything nice?"
"Nice?" Tukio asked as he smirked, holding his paw out to his side afterwards, but not extending his arm. "To who? I don't have the time to say anything nice to a loser." Kion growled again, walking Dogo off to the infirmary with the others as Tukio thought to himself. 'And yes, he doesn't even know how to control that power. And neither do I. (Clenches his teeth) If Dogo's gonna remain of use then he'd better activate his power, because the boss won't be pleased.'
----
Kion and the others were seen in the infirmary, waiting for Dogo's body to heal. Kion was seen punching the air while lying down, trying to get some rest training done. Mheetu was seen walking from one side of the room to the other, turning around each time she reached a wall. Nala was seen looking through the glass every three seconds to see when they were coming back with Dogo. Jasiri was seen sitting on a chair near Kion, making actions that show her worry for Dogo, such as switching her sitting position and having worried expressions. Simba was seen as still as a rock on the wall as Nala looked at him and spoke. "How are you so calm?"
"I figured it'd be best not to leave my worrying too out in the open." Simba explained, seeming rather level headed. "It's best to just chill until he's healed."
Kion ended up going a bit faster with his lying down punches, trying to get an even bigger strain. Jasiri looked at Kion with a smile, giggling at his love for training. "You'll train anywhere, won't you."
"Pretty much." Kion continued to do his lying down punches as Mheetu walked up the wall. Kion saw this and questioned it when he did. "How can you do that?"
"Came with the Band God I guess." Mheetu said, not knowing how it worked either.
Nala continued to look through the room and saw something that brought joy to her. "Okay everyone. Act natural." Nala backed away from the door as Dogo walked through, seeming to be smiling and in perfect condition. "And that's why I said natural."
Dogo sat down next to Kion with everyone else showing joy that he's healed. "You all seem happy to see me alive."
"If Tukio's training (Jumps down from the roof) was any more brutal then you wouldn't have been able to continue in the tournament." Mheetu laughed as he sat down next to Dogo. "Still dude. Against max level figures? Epic."
"Yeah, anyone with that power is really impressive." Kion decided to ask Dogo what he knew about his powers. "So about that power Tukio mentioned earlier. What did it feel like?" Dogo shrugged, leaving Kion to put his paw on his shoulder. "From what he told us, it must have a huge impact on you. (Smiles) Sounds awesome." Dogo hugged Kion, feeling a brotherly affection for him.
----
Kion and the others exited the infirmary with Dogo while talking to him, with Simba being the first to speak up. "It's great that you were able to survive that Dogo. Any beginner would've been put into a coma."
"Or died. Whichever one came first." Mheetu bluntly implied with a grin.
"What's important though is that you survived." Nala said, still relieved that Dogo lasted.
"I'm just glad I DID survive." Dogo said cheerfully. "Just wait until the second round of the tournament. I'm gonna kick my opponent's butt."
"You bet you will." Jasiri said with encouragement. "But don't think I'll go easy on you if we're made as your next opponents."
Dogo nodded and then Tukio's voice was heard. "So you're healed then." Kion and the others saw Tukio walking over to them and greeting Dogo. "What did I tell you about getting help in a battle?"
Kion stepped in Dogo's defense, still upset at how Tukio's treating him. "Hey dude, that was all my instinct."
"Ask me if I care." Tukio shot back with zero remourse. "From what I've experienced, friendship and assistance makes you weaker." Kion growled as Tukio pushed him aside, looking at Dogo coldly. "Let's get going Dogo. We have more training to do." Dogo nodded and Tukio walked off with him behind him, not noticing Dogo turning around and making a silent sorry mouth movement. Dogo then ran after Tukio as Kion looked at the blond lion with anger.
Jasiri put her paw on Kion's shoulder as the cub spoke. "Something about that dude really irritates me."
"Tell me about it dude." Jasiri looked on as well, still amazed that Tukio could tie with Kion. "And I know it's not because of his power."
----
Dogo was seen getting sent back with a punch as he fell on the ground in the Out lands. Dogo got up and Tukio held his paw and clenched it. "Stop holding your power back Dogo. In this state I could beat five of you without breaking a sweat."
"Well I'm not exactly fighter of the century." Dogo said as he wiped the dirt off of him. "Why do I have to unlock that power anyway? I can get plenty strong without it."
"That's just you denying the power you hold from within." Tukio then landed a punch on Dogo's stomach, making him back up a bit. "If you're ever gonna get anywhere in the ring then you have to go all out when necessary. That power you showed could save lives that you care about, even if other people hate their guts." Tukio kicked Dogo straight in the face, giving him a bruise on his cheek. He walked over to Dogo and pulled him up from his arm. "Do you want to protect the ones you care about?" Dogo nodded his head yes as Tukio turned around while still holding him. "Then fight for (Throws Dogo up into the air) real!"
Dogo felt his power surging as he back fliped away and grabbed Tukio's punch. Tukio then landed a punch on his face, making him bleed a bit. He then ground pounded Dogo into the floor, with Dogo barely managing to regain his balnace. Tukio landed and walked over to Dogo, who aimed a punch at him, which was blocked. Tukio grabbed Dogo's paw and twisted it a bit to give Dogo pain, but not to the point where he injured him. Dogo fell to his knees as Tukio scoffed at his weakness. "You're nothing without that power. How pathetic." Dogo gained a sorrow look, and not just because of Tukio's brutal training.

Mheetu was seen exiting Kion's house as he said goodbye to him. "See ya at the tournament Kion!"
"You too Mheetu! And thanks for the new chew toy for Masamune!"
Mheetu gave a thumbs up to Kion and then exited the house, sensing Tukio's power and walking over to it. He seemed rather curious to what Tukio's power could possibly be doing in the Pride lands. Well, at this time of night anyway. He looked around the corner and saw Tukio launching a Galick gun into the sky. He then ran over to Tukio, who noticed him and spoke. "What?"
"I'm just wondering what you're doing out here." Mheetu walked over to Tukio with a curious look on his face. "I figured you'd be training with Dogo like you said."
"He couldn't take the lesson, so I gave him the night off." Tukio turned to Mheetu and spoke harshly. "Anyone who fails is less than worth my time." Tukio walked off and Mheetu walked with him, wanting to get greater info on what Tukio meant.
"I'm guessing he didn't go into his new power then?" Mheetu asked, and Tukio nodded his head yes. "Well it's not a light switch Tukio. You can't expect it to just happen for no good reason. Like, maybe if Dogo had more sparring partners then he'd-"
Tukio grabbed Mheetu by his chest and glared at him. "As far as I'm concerned, getting more allies gives you a bigger chance of betrayal." Tukio let a surprised Mheetu go and then walked off, giving Mheetu some interesting thoughts. The lion cub then looked up to the sky, wondering what Tukio's words could be right for.

Tiffu was seen at the arena the next day, looking at Jasiri from afar. She breathed in and out and walked over to Jasiri, handing her a note. "It's from Zuri. And no it's not a death threat."
Jasiri shrugged at Tiffu's comment as she accepted the note, just as she saw who the next challengers were going to be. "Oh, Kion's next. (Stands up) Let's hurry so we can get some good seats." Tiffu nodded and high fived Jasiri, with the two of them running off.
Kion and Mheetu were seen talking about what Tukio told Mheetu the other night. "So he basically told me that more allies gives a bigger chance of betrayal. He's likely not doing this for no good reason."
"Well obviously not. No one hates friendship for no reason." Kion believed that no one was the way they were just because they felt like it. He knew that there had to be a reason for Tukio's actions, in spite of how much he's annoyed by him. "He certainly does a good job at being MY rival."
"As a competetive rival, yeah." Mheetu began to count the reasons Tukio makes a good rival for Kion to face. "He's as strong or stronger than you, he has different motives and believes than you, and you both love fighting. Yeah, I'd say he's a good rival."
"It's more than that Mheetu." Kion said, not wanting to make Tukio sound cliche. "Even though he's somewhat emo and is obsessed with Dogo's power, he doesn't sound like someone I'd call evil. And I feel like he mentioned himself working for someone either to us, or in private with Dogo." Kion became determined to prove Tukio wrong about teamwork and slammed his paw against the table. "We can't let him prove us right."
Mheetu nodded and fist bumped Mheetu, ready to assist him in his new self acclaimed mission. "Let's start after your match. Looks like you're up against someone else capable of beating you." Kion and Mheetu run off to get to the match in time.
----
Jasiri and Tiffu were seen getting some great seats in the front row, high fiving as they sat down and enjoyed themselves. Jasiri looked out into the crowd, hoping to see some action. "This is gonna be so epic. And not just because Simba's Kion's mentor, and they're batteling in this thing."
"No kidding Jasiri." Tiffu said, getting overexcited about the whole thing. "This is gonna be so cool!" Zuri looked down at Jasiri and Tiffu from the fifth row, seeming to be worried about wather or not she can make amends with Jasiri.
Kion and Tukio walked out onto the field as they looked at each other with cold, yet calm and understanding looks. Simba and Nala stood across from them and got ready for the match. The two teams started each other down as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.
----
D Grey Man ending theme three plays during the credits as a male singer prepares to sing my passion.
Kion walked out onto the screen and sat down on the grass, looking at the stars as the song begun.
"This is the path that I'll forever follow. It's what I love and it will help me to grow."
Jasiri walked out onto the screen and sat down next to Kion as the song continued.
"And in spite of the danger's that I'll face, I'll never, give up on it or my friends."
Simba walked out onto the screen and sat next to Kion on the other side as the song continued.
"No matter who I battle a friend or foe. This is a passion that I hold with me so."
Mheetu walked out onto the screen and sat down next to Jasiri as the song continued.
"And no matter the dangers we face head on, this is what, my life was destined to be."
Nala walked out onto the screen and sat down next to Simba and the friends looked at the stars as the song continued.
"And whatever I face, I'll never fall to the dark side. And my new power, will help me survive the whole ride."
Dogo was seen looking at the stars in the Out lands as the song continued.
"And this passion, that I have, will stay, forever."
Tukio walked up to the Dogo and put his paw on his shoulder, looking at the stars with him as the song continued.
"Me and my friends will work through this endeavor."
The lion silhouette from the intro was seen looking at the stars through his telescope as the song continued.
"Friends last forever, no matter what the others say."
Janja, Cheezi, and Chungu were seen hanging out under the stars as the song continued.
"And when the times get dark, we'll strive to see the light of day."
Dark Kion was seen commanding his troops with Vitani behind him as the song continued.
"And with my friends, we will, make this world, a more pure place."
Kion and his friends were seen smiling at each other and talking as the song continued.
"And I will protect, them as well, as my passion."
The final parts of the song played as Jasiri saw a shooting star and pointed to it, getting everyone's attention, and then Nala pulled out her phone for a selfie. A phone flash happened and Kion and the others were shown looking at the stars in a picture above Kion's bed with Kion sleeping as the song ended.
