Rock your body! YEAAAAAH![Mission 1&2]

Stepping out of the village near the plainns, Crono looked around the area and smiled as he lifted his arms in the direction of some fallen trees and started to cut them with repeated blows over and over again until finally they were each in the rough form of a very sturdy training dummy. Walking over to them he smiled and looked at them one at a time. Perhaps it was just about time for him to start gaining some real power behind his attacks. If he really wanted to protect those he cared about he would have to get stronger, and faster, but above all he would have to remain wise and observant as he watched the enemy, making sure to keep track of their movements.


Stepping up to the dummies he carefully traced his eyes over them, analyzing where vitals would be and memorizing the locations. With each location that he remembered he was felt that he was able to connect one more deadly strike, one more impact that would decimate an enemy because for the most part, when it came to internals, quite a few creatures had roughly the same stuff. Smiling he looked at the dummies and took an open palmed fighting stance and gathered his strength . And then he unleashed his attack. The tips of his fingers jabbed into the soft, fresh materials on the outside and caught the rigid material on the inside. With each strike he doubled up his efforts, hitting harder and faster, keeping track of every last motion that he made until finally the target seemed to explode from all the damage.


Pausing long enough to catch his breath he turned to the next targets, this time he started out with a slight bounce to his step as he approached and suddenly flipped into a downward axe kick on the shoulder of the first dummy but quickly pulled his mind back into focus for the next dummy. Dashing forward, under any attacks that would have come from a real target he made his way to the dummy, sliding and mule kicking it in the jaw, springing off the ground and slamming his full weight onto the shoulders of the final dummy. Smiling as he did so he unsheathed his blade, unleashing a Do ryu sen into the dummies face, decimating it. But for some reason none of this felt quite right to him. No, he needed to actually fight something; his adrenaline was pumping far too strongly for him to fight just training dummies.


Jumping into a sprint he took off at a new, much faster rate than he ever had before, now completely in control of his own direction. Dashing off to the training grounds, Crono approached many people, looking for a brawler. Hoping to get a good fight he came across an makeshift arena of sorts where Genin could test their skills in a type of gauntlet. Stepping into the ring and looking around Crono smiled as he grabbed attention. ~The best way to grow stronger is by proving yourself ~ he thought and did his best not to start laughing about it. But he was unable to keep his opponent from noticing who quickly looked at him and asked “What are you laughing about?” Crono shrugged and looked at the other Genin, he knew that trash talk would most likely send them into blind rage, but that wasn't the fight he was looking for “ just expecting a good fight” He said, still suppressing the urge to start smiling.


And just as Crono expected, the Genin dashed at him in a fury, and with the first strike it would disappear. Crono ducked under the kid's first strike, and then slipped between his legs and watched as he turned around. The kid went for a punch but with lightning reflexes Crono jabbed him in the wrist and shoved the punch out of the way. The fight could be over in minutes but for the first time in a long time Crono was actually having physical fun. He grabbed the kid's wrist as it zipped by his face and used their arm as leverage to flip them over on their back. As soon as they hit the ground it was obvious to tell that it was damn near over. He knelt on their back, twisting their arm up and behind and then grabbed the back of their head. He leaned down and whispered in their ear “do you yield?” the gennin only nodded, acknowledging his defeat publicly and Crono got off of their back. Holding a hand out he helped them up off of the ground and looked them in the eye, shook their hand and sent them off.

Dusting off his clothes Crono looked around to the gathering crowd and spoke freely “There is one warrior down and there are many more to go, who wishes to challenge me and give me an entertaining fight? I could use the practice, as there are many, many battles ahead of me.” He announced as he slowly spun. No one would come forth to face him, they had all watched how quickly he had dropped one of the genin there and that was enough to strike fear in the hearts of just about any fighter, even if it was only the weakest of the group. Scanning the crowd again he finally held up his hands as a sign of victory “Fine, if no one wishes to come and face me, then you all will never grow stronger.” He said as he walked off the stage towards a jounin that was obviously in charge of the keeping an eye out. But just as Crono reached the edge of that fighting ring, a slightly larger man approached the arena and held up what could only be considered a challenge for battle.

Bowing to his opponent Crono started to focus again, this time being very careful as to what he did to this opponent. If he moved too swiftly or took them down in too rough of a manor he would be out of opponents and that just would be fun, not fun at all. Stepping towards his opponent he threw his first punch, clashing fists with them and making sure not to hit too hard so as not to do any overly serious damage. As the punches collided time seemed to freeze and lowered himself into a guard position. Quickly punching again after each contact the two made contact at every attack, both blocking each other’s attack and then recoiled for another strike. The two fighters read one another’s actions before they had even thought to pull them off and just as the fight started to heat up to a new degree, Crono dropped to the ground, spinning into a full blown heel kick into the man’s jaw. The man stumbled a few steps and then fell back, a loud thud reverberated through the arena and the crowd stared in silence. In battle like that it was often that the victor only won by making a single contacting blow. Crono bowed to his now unconscious opponent and looked to the jounin. “apologize to him when he awakens, I didn't mean to hit him that hard.” With those words he left the area and went off searching for more ways to train when his mind drifted back to the lonely mountain top and he thought of how much his training would increase in results up there.

And so he left the small village, moving his way slowly but surely all the way to where he had ran into the mountain behind the raikage summit. He looked up at the peak and slowly rose to it to begin his practices in balance. He moved up to the very top and slowly set down with his foot on the tip. Pulling his other foot up and crossing it over the knee he slowly and deliberately moved, feeling the energies of the world flowing around him and through him with ever motion that he made. His actions were cool and calculated as he kept his balance with every motion. As time passed he steadily got braver and braver until finally he was doing flips and spinning attacks at full speed. The sheer force of his actions were causing clouds to move in the thin air and as he would slow again the clouds would ever so slowly pull back into the air around him and gather closer than before.

Breathing steadily he moved back into the slow and steady motions that allowed his body to adapt to the flows of the planet and he continued to move slower and slower until finally he stopped in the crane pose at the top of the mountain. He looked around, slowly turning his head as he explored the area in his form until finally he jumped up off of the floor and laughed as energy built up in his hands his training was paying off, he could feel the power. scratching his brow with his hand, he sighed. this was enough training for one day and began to head home.
