Entry tags:
first bout [open]
WHO: Akihiko Sanada and whoever is out during the Dark Hour.
WHEN: June 25th, Dark Hour
WHERE: Wherever there's shadows.
SUMMARY: Resolution and awakening.
RATING: PG, maybe PG13?
WARNINGS: None.
After the initial surprise of arriving in Prospera wore off, it's been business as usual for Akihiko. He spent his first full day on the island, talking to the locals in an attempt to gather information. The only thing different about his person was the cellphone he was carrying, but that wasn't really something he was worried about anyway.
The locals didn't seem to know much and were mostly unhelpful in just about every respect. So, Akihiko enrolled himself in the high school in Prospero and applied to live in the local dorms. Regardless of where he was in the world, he needed to stay on top of his studies. Studies also included training and practice, and until he could acquire his own equipment, he would have to rely on the local and school gyms. So it was back to boxing whenever he had a spare moment.
Unfortunately, the seventeen-year-old boxer isn't much for socializing, so he's kept to himself since that first night he arrived here. He knows there's others here like him, but he's too focused on keeping up with his training to offer anyone his attention. However, it wasn't difficult to notice that the city changed at night, when the clock struck midnight, and once the weekend rolled around, Akihiko decided it was time to investigate. He never expected what he would find...

Akihiko is running through the streets of Prospero in an attempt to avoid the shadow-like creatures pursuing him. He's fit and fast on his feet- as a boxer should be, so keeping ahead of the monsters isn't so difficult. He'd taken more than a few hits before realizing he wasn't strong enough to take them on with just his fists. He was forced so flee for he couldn't die tonight. Not in this place. It's no different from that time. I'm still not strong enough. Feelings of the past swell within his chest as he runs and visions from far-off memories flash before his eyes; a burning building and crying children.
This isn't how it should be. I shouldn't be running away! I've been waiting for this! For a chance to put my skills to the test. How can it not be enough? I have to do something! I need more power...
As these thoughts plague his mind, he rounds a corner to cut through an alley when an intense pain shoots through his skull triggering him to stagger. "What the- hell..." He says as his hands come up to hold his head. "What's happening...?" And then a voice rings out:
'I am thou, thou art I.
The time hath come.
Open thine eyes.
And call forth what is within.'
"Who-" he begins to speak, but the sound of the shadows rounding the corner to enter the alley cuts him off. "Tch, damn you. No more running." He turns, ready to try to go another round with the monsters. No matter what happens, he won't run. "I'm ready, you bastards! Come and get it!" In that instant there's a flash of blinding light and a loud screech can be heard along with the clank of a sword; the sounds of tearing flesh fills the air. When the light fades just a lone being is before Akihiko, floating ominously above him.
'I am Caesar... I was born of thee, and I shall walk by thy side... Experience is the teacher of all things.'
And then the manifestation is gone.
