Heavy Weights On
Kry The Wizard
The poor district had more people doing physical labor than the rich district. These physical labor workers were known as slaves and Aku’s parents were one of them. Aku’s father and mother were finished with their daily tasks for the day and walked together to go home.
”Do you think we are bad parents Jacob?” the wife looked to her husband as she carried a sack of potatoes on her back with a basket made of wood.
Jacob shifting his head to his wife Yena as he released a sigh.
”It's either we give up our first born Aku to the Baron and free ourselves from being servants.. or we continued to do this and raise him to eventually end up like a slave… I know it’s not morally right.. but we have to do this.. with my bad back and your bad legs.. we won't last another ten years until retirement..”
Instead of heading home, both of the parents headed straight to the administration office and after much discussion, the papers were signed off.
The change of scenery took place as the ten year old Aku was in his bed trying to sleep. The doors bust opening and before Aku had the chance to retaliate, the swamp royal guards surrounded him and cuffed him. The ten guards took him back to the palace, where he was briefly spoken to.
”You guys can't do this to me!! I'm just a child! How can I be put into slavery?!”
The guard who was head in charge of the raid kneeled down to Aku and gave a smirk.
”Don't worry. Your parents won't be looking for you. They are the ones who traded your freedom for theirs.”
Aku had become heart broken, teary, and having hate for both of his parents for years to come..
Five years had passed, Aku was physically fit than most children his age, he went from being a slave to a servant, and he was now at the age of fifteen and living in the palace. Aku stood before the baron in a kneel and held the silver plate of fine wine to him.
”My excellency, Is there anything that I can get for you?”
The baron didn't speak and shooed him away with a hand gesture. Aku bowed to the baron and walking out. Upon getting out of sight, his facial expression turned to anger and he threw the silver plate to the ground. While it rolled down into the shadows of a corner, a foot stopping the plate and a voice emerged from it.
”You must be Aku? Parents sold you into slavery… and now you live life as a servant or until you have a child who's able to replace you. I can help you and free you from this life..”
Aku’s eyes began to narrow in on the man as he came out of the shadows. He wore a tattered dusty black robe and his staff clearly has seen better days. This man also had a beard and long white hair and appeared to be a wise old man.
”I tried escaping countless times when I first got here.. it's no use..”
”I need a Vessel.. a body for my monsters to live in.. if you come with me, I can give you the strength to become far stronger than you are now..”
Aku had chuckled, and he walked away with his hands to his pockets.
”I use to like fairy tales when I was ten.. I'm not interested in your lies..”
The wizard pulling out a scroll and Aku could feel the strength that the scroll. Aku turned to the man and looked at the scroll.
”Once I seal this beast inside you. You will have the power to do as you please.. you will have full control of your body.. all I want is for my beasts to have homes.. if you're willing to do, then come here..”
Aku had thought about it and anything was better than this life. Aku walking over to the wizard and the both of them transported back to his home. The wizard placing the beast inside Aku and a loud scream was heard leaving the house of the wizard.
Aku covered in sweat and looking to the wizard as he heavily pants.
”I feel much stronger..”
”Indeed you should.. your beast Jackal is the most powerful among the twelve beast.. you should be grateful that you didn't die.. many your age have died because of Jackal’s rejection to the body.. yet he accepted yours.. I wonder why.. so now that you have this power, what will you do with it?”
”I have thought about it long and hard.. I want to destroy Swamp town and kill the Baron.. in order to free the people from his slavery..”
The wizard had smirked and placed his arms to his back as he turned away from the teen and looked into his crystal ball.
”now I understand why Jackal accepted you.. you aren't selfish like the others. If you want, you can transform into the beast and attack the whole city..”
The wizard turning to face Aku, as Aku looks up at the wizard.
”I want to do it now..”
The wizard opening a portal to the Baron’s throne room.
”Those who plot revenge.. it never ends well for them.. once you do this deed, you cannot erase it..”
Aku walking passed the wizard and entering the portal. Aku now behind a giant pillar and overhearing the Baron’s conversation with a guard.
”Where the hell is Aku?! I want more food!”
The guard scratching the back of his head in confusion.
”Sir we tried looking for him.. every guard has reported he is gone..”
”Go search for him now!!”
Aku revealing himself to the Baron, his wife, and the guard as he has his arms to his back.
”my parents sold me to work as a servant to you rich folks… now I will get rid of you and free everyone!!!!”
The baron had laughed and Aku’s eyes turning red and transforming into his monster transformation. The baron that once laughed was now in fear as he looked to the beast. Jackal had full control over Aku’s body and Aku was in a deep sleep. Jackal killing the baron and his wife, along with the guard. Jackal continued to go on a killing spree and the wizard sending a powerful blast into the town, causing death everywhere and the buildings turning into ruin. Jackal was done with his rampage and going back into Aku’s body.
Aku waking up afterwards and laying down on a pile of rubble. Aku rising to his feet as he looks all around him and seeing the many corpses of the innocent and guilty.
”What the hell happened.. I blacked out and wake up to this..”
The wizard then appearing beside Aku and having his arms to his back.
”Didn't I tell you boy.. Jackal is the strongest.. and the more dangerous of the beasts..if you are going to control Jackal one day, I can train you so that you can fully be in control.. the eleven decided to live their lives on their own and their beasts eventually take control over them that they are just puppets.. however, I can help you control the beast within you.. you just need to accept my teachings..”
The training would begin from then on and Aku’s first lesson was to have control when it came to balance. Aku having three plates on his head, his shoulders, and his hands. He stood there as he profusely sweat and concentrated on not dropping the plates. The wizard stood in front of him and holding his staff.
”Balance is the key to control. Without balance, everything falls apart..”
The wizard took off Aku’s plates from his right side hand and shoulder, this causing Aku to fall to his left side and smashing the plates.
”You need to control yourself when things become unbalanced..without this, you might as well give up..”
Aku sighing to himself as he rose to his feet and the plates are placed on their spots once again. Aku tries again and the wizard striking Aku’s leg and everything falls to the ground including Aku.
”Ignore all other distractions or your balance will be off!”
”maybe if you stop hitting me I can focus!”
”The enemy won't give you a stepping stone, the enemy will seek to destroy you by any means.. and I won't be going easy on you.. if you can't passed this simple test, then you will never control Jackal..”
The training session was over and Aku slept on his bed and Jackal’s red spirit could be seen looking out the window as Aku noticed it.
”you can leave my body?!”
”I am trapped in this body forever.. even if you die, I will remain inside you.. I can only leave as a spirit but not too far from you.. it's my only means of seeing the outside world.. if you so desire, I can help you train..”
Aku started to think, not about himself but about Jackal.
”Jackal.. I have only known through rumors about the monsters who are put into people.. but where do you guys even come from?”
”That I cannot answer, for it's different with everyone else. My eleven brothers and I are born from the wizard, I was the wizard’s last beast created.. I don't know why we were created, I just know that we serve a purpose to him.. and I guess now to you..I killed the baron just like you had command.. but I did not kill everyone else…”
Aku’s eyes being shocked and then looking to Jackal with seriousness in his eyes.
”Then who killed everyone else!”
”I don't know who.. all I did was eliminated the guards… but the servants.. I have no idea..”
Aku was puzzled and rushing out of his bed and heading straight to the wizard. The wizard being on his porch and sitting on a rocking chair and taking a nap. Aku walking him up indirectly by opening the front door fast and the door closing to a slam.
”I have a question for you wizard.. who eliminated the whole town's people during my rampage? You stated that Jackal was dangerous but he told me that he didn't kill the innocents..”
The wizard had sighed and telling Aku a lie in order to cover his tracks.
”yes I did state he was dangerous.. and if he didn't kill them then I don't know who did.. tell you what, we can go check tomorrow morning on what happened.. let's just get some sleep.”
Aku nodding and heading straight to bed. Jackal revealing himself in his spirit form again. Aku looking to Jackal while laying on his bed.
”How exactly can the wizard create so many powerful monsters?”
"myself and my brothers call him Kry.. that's his name.. he created us by splitting his power level and thinks of an image to make and does a spell.. due to his age, he isn't much for fighting anymore.. which is why he created us.. the eleven brothers I have will eventually consume the host that decided to leave without being trained..I also noticed that Kry still has a lot more power to create another monster more stronger than myself.. as to why he hasn't done it yet.. I have no idea....”
Aku ending the conversation there as he heads to bed. The next day the scenery taking place at the hub area where Aku trains at and where the crystal ball is. Aku standing there with his arms folded and the wizard teleporting the both of them to the ruin city of Swamp Town. After examining over the evidence, it was clear that a giant blast had done the deed. Aku looking to the wizard and having a serious look.
”whoever did this to these people, I want answers Kry ..”
Kry had nodded in respect towards Aku and with a simple slam to his staff, animal tracks could be seen all around the area and being faint.
”It’s faint.. but these tracks came from a tiger monster..”
Aku was shocked, he thought to himself that maybe a monster that Kry had created had done this. Jackal had interrupted as he formed into a red spirit and stood by Aku’s side.
”that means that none of my brothers did this.. so if it wasn't your twelve creations.. then what caused this..”
Kry had turned to look over his shoulder and to Aku and Jackal.
”It's what I have been fearing all this time.. the legendary tiger monster, it is said that the tiger only appears when destruction takes place..”
Kry then turning to look ahead as he smirked while telling this lie. He would have a recollection of last night where he sent the tiger beast from within him to walk around the whole city. Aku sitting on his buttocks as he sighed to himself.
”so at this rate we won't ever find this beast..”
The both of them heading back to base as the wizard stands in front of his crystal ball.
”it's time to begin your training.. today I will be teaching you Jackal’s time warp evasive technique..”
After much demonstration on how to do it, Aku finally succeeded in learning it. The wizard continued to look to his crystal ball and spotting an Arcosian Ship landing on the planet.
”we have company.. an Arcosian Empire ship has landed.. I take it that these three aliens plan to take over a nearby village known as Toad town..learn what I had thought you and take care of them..”
Aku had gone straight to toad town and confronting the red and blue brenchian along with their leader who is a Kabocha. Aku standing five feet away from the three with his arms folded across his chest.
”I'm only going to ask this once, you three won't be taking this city or this planet over..”
The leader giving a wide grin as he cocks his head upwards and looking to Aku.
”hehe, and you are the one who is suppose to stop us?”
The two brenchian's charging straight to Aku as he uses his new evasive skill and phases through the both of them. He now stands behind them and transforms into Jackal. Aku having enough training with Jackal to somewhat control him and not pass out. Aku being able to send two straight body shots to their backs, causing the two brenchian's to fly forward and being knocked out. The leader charging straight to Aku’s behind and upon turning around to face the leader, a right hook is given to his face. Aku’s head not moving a muscle from the impact as he grabs the leader by the throat and tossing him back.
The kabochian realizing the strength of Aku, takes his men and heading off the planet. After the three leave the planet, Aku spotting the tiger beast from afar and following the beast. The tiger beast running from Aku and upon reaching a nearby city, Aku discovers that the town known as Sand was completely destroyed by the tiger beast and the tiger beast is nowhere to be found.
Aku reverting back to his normal self as he turns to face Kami who just arrived on scene.
”we just missed it..”
Jackal leaving Aku’s body by using his red spirit form and looking to Kami.
”If the beast does have a host.. there ki signatures wouldn't be the same right Kami? Just like how mine and Aku’s aren't the same?”
Kry nodding as he looks to the both of them.
”that is true.. but what I find weird is why the tiger beast lead us here, if we investigate than maybe we can find something of use..”
After searching for thirty minutes, the both of them find a book, telling about the ancient beast of this planet and the tiger being one of them.
”so upon reading this.. the tiger beast had a host but the host died.. now it lives on and causes chaos..”
Kry tapping his staff and a portal forms behind him.
”let's go Aku, it's time you rest..”
While they headed home and Aku was resting in his bed, Kry was standing over his crystal ball.
”unfortunately this won't be an easy task.. Tiger, I need you to leave my body and obtain me a powerful body so that I can have more energy so that you can do my evil deeds and that I can be normal when you aren't with me.”
”it shall be done..”
After an hour had passed, the tiger beast coming back to the wizard and giving him a powerful body from a town. Kry consuming the energy of this body and gaining back his strength to normal. The tiger beast leaving the base and causing more chaos to the planet as Kry had instructed. Another hour had passed and Aku waking up from his nap and heading straight to the wizard. Kry looking over his shoulder with a worried look.
”I'm afraid it is getting worse Aku.. the tiger beast has wiped out two more towns.. there is a way to stop the beast itself.. the beast is trying to find a crystal which is able to cause destruction to the planet..If we find this crystal.. then we can stop the beast..”
Aku had agreed Kry opening up a portal in which Aku enters first. After this happens, the tiger beast’s yellow spirit leaves Kry's body.
”The yellow crystal is able to seal a being into it forever..
”Once I acquire this crystal, I will be able to seal the king of this planet and then I shall be the king of this planet!”
Aku and Kry are now walking through the first town that the tiger beast had destroyed. Kry having his arms to his back and Aku having his hands on the back of his head.
”So this crystal Kry, why does the tiger want it so badly?”
”This crystal is very powerful that it is able to increase the power of an individual who wields it..”
”So what town do you think would contain this crystal?”
”Coconut Fortress. it's located on the other side of the planet...”
Aku walking with Kry and heading straight on the pathway to Kashvar Fortress.
”Kry, are there enemies that we will have to worry about in Coconut Fortress?”
Kry casually shifting his eyes to Aku and having his arms to his back.
”Powerful sentries yes.. however, I have taught you well enough to handle them.. I will also be by your side aiding you.. I am almost certain that the crystal is here..”
They finally arrive on scene as the entrance to the black 20ft gate and fence appears to be abandoned, rusted, and the double door appears to be coming off it’s hinges. They walk into the entrance, sentries coming out of nowhere and surrounding the both of them. The leader of this commanded fleet looks to them with a smirk.
”Turn back now or suffer the consequences…”
Kry and Aku entering their fighting stances, as the sentries entered their hyena monster state and the leader being a much bigger version of the hyena and more dark brown in color. The sentries heading towards the both of them with saliva dripping from their mouths. The wizard clapping his hands together as he speaks underneath his breath and reciting a spell. The ground underneath the hyena sentries open up and several of them fall into the endless void as the wizard closes it right up. Aku entering his jackal transformation and evading the strikes of the hyena sentries. He would quickly find openings to the sentries after they had strike and rushing towards them and striking their pressure points as they drop to the ground and being knocked out.
The both of them continued dishing out their attacks and eventually the number count was so high that the leader of the hyena started to laugh.
”I see.. I am not dealing with average foes here.. I think it's time I stepped in and handle it..”
The leader dashing towards Aku and impacting his palm against Aku’s chest, causing him to fly backwards and onto the ground. The intense impact causing Aku to cough up blood. The wizard taking his shot and firing a mixture of fire and lighting ball towards the leader. The unexpected strike engulfing the leader and ending his life quickly. Kry walking over to Aku afterwards and healing him from his wound. Aku rising to his feet as he looks to Kami.
”Hehe, don't let age fool you. I am much stronger than I look..”
Aku had chuckled as the both of them continued to walk further into the castle.
”Kry, If I may ask.. why don't we get the other eleven beast you created to aid us in this?”
”these beast are only created through giving another being the beast.. now if that being decides to leave with the beast, there's nothing I can do until that beast fully takes over their body and then they will do as I command..but until then.. I can't call them to help..”
The both of them coming to a complete stop, where the Tiger beast appears on top of the castle. Aku and Kry flying straight to the tiger and landing on the rooftop. The tiger beast looking at them and focusing his main attention on Aku.
”You.. you have a beast inside you boy..”
Still in Jackal’s form, Jackal looks to the tiger beast.
”What’s it to you beast?..”
Aku charging straight to the tiger, the both of them grabbing each other’s hands as they try to outpower the other. The tiger bringing Aku to his knees as the tiger stares into Jackal’s face.
”You are too weak to beat me..”
”Never underestimate your opponent..”
Jackal opening his mouth as a giant ball forms and he fires it at Tiger. Tiger going with the ball into the sky as he grabs a hold of the ball and lifting it up over his head.
”You are pathetic...”
The tiger hurling the ball at Jackal while also firing off his own mouth beam at it. Jackal crossing his arms and blocking the attack. Jackal’s feet begin to dig into the ground and sending him back a bit as Jackal then extends his arms out and unfolds them as he now holds onto the beam. The intense struggle and Jackal being able to hurl the ball away and then taking the mouth beam directly to the stomach.
Aku laying there with a severe injury as the wizard charges towards the tiger beast. The tiger beast standing there as he looks to Kry and begins to phase in and out. The tiger beast Appearance going from a tiger to a lion. The tiger then vanishing from the scenery as Aku reverts to his base form. Jackal’s spirit leaving Aku’s body as he looks to Kry.
”Kry! Don't tell me that the tiger is actually Lion!”
”Who is lion?”
”Lion is the brother of Jackal.. and the second strongest of the twelve.. as to how he got this powerful and taking on a different appearance is beyond me..”
”That's strange because that doesn't sound like Lion.. nor does he have the same ki signature..”
”Not all beast train in physical fighting.. some train on hiding their ki signatures or hiding their true appearance.. it is clear that Lion has gotten more stronger than you Jackal..”
”So what will we do now Kry ? More training with Jackal?”
Kry had nodded and all of them heading back home.
Aku heading to bed and the tiger beast meeting with Kry at a wasteland.
”were you able to do the task?”
”Yes.. I was able to kill Lion.. your strength has returned to you and now Aku along with Jackal believes that one of the eleven did this.. but why kill off one of the eleven? And why not just keep the mysterious tiger legend?”
”Aku is growing in strength.. which means Jackal is also getting stronger. Which means that I have to keep making you stronger than him.. I have also done some searching and the crystal isn't real.. We have to also make sure that Aku and Jackal doesn't go searching for the other beasts..”

Aku had gone straight to toad town and confronting the red and blue brenchian along with their leader who is a Kabocha. Aku standing five feet away from the three with his arms folded across his chest.
”I'm only going to ask this once, you three won't be taking this city or this planet over..”
The leader giving a wide grin as he cocks his head upwards and looking to Aku.
”hehe, and you are the one who is suppose to stop us?”
The two brenchian's charging straight to Aku as he uses his new evasive skill and phases through the both of them. He now stands behind them and transforms into Jackal. Aku having enough training with Jackal to somewhat control him and not pass out. Aku being able to send two straight body shots to their backs, causing the two brenchian's to fly forward and being knocked out. The leader charging straight to Aku’s behind and upon turning around to face the leader, a right hook is given to his face. Aku’s head not moving a muscle from the impact as he grabs the leader by the throat and tossing him back.
The kabochian realizing the strength of Aku, takes his men and heading off the planet. After the three leave the planet, Aku spotting the tiger beast from afar and following the beast. The tiger beast running from Aku and upon reaching a nearby city, Aku discovers that the town known as Sand was completely destroyed by the tiger beast and the tiger beast is nowhere to be found.
Aku reverting back to his normal self as he turns to face Kami who just arrived on scene.
”we just missed it..”
Jackal leaving Aku’s body by using his red spirit form and looking to Kami.
”If the beast does have a host.. there ki signatures wouldn't be the same right Kami? Just like how mine and Aku’s aren't the same?”
Kry nodding as he looks to the both of them.
”that is true.. but what I find weird is why the tiger beast lead us here, if we investigate than maybe we can find something of use..”
After searching for thirty minutes, the both of them find a book, telling about the ancient beast of this planet and the tiger being one of them.
”so upon reading this.. the tiger beast had a host but the host died.. now it lives on and causes chaos..”
Kry tapping his staff and a portal forms behind him.
”let's go Aku, it's time you rest..”
While they headed home and Aku was resting in his bed, Kry was standing over his crystal ball.
”unfortunately this won't be an easy task.. Tiger, I need you to leave my body and obtain me a powerful body so that I can have more energy so that you can do my evil deeds and that I can be normal when you aren't with me.”
”it shall be done..”
After an hour had passed, the tiger beast coming back to the wizard and giving him a powerful body from a town. Kry consuming the energy of this body and gaining back his strength to normal. The tiger beast leaving the base and causing more chaos to the planet as Kry had instructed. Another hour had passed and Aku waking up from his nap and heading straight to the wizard. Kry looking over his shoulder with a worried look.
”I'm afraid it is getting worse Aku.. the tiger beast has wiped out two more towns.. there is a way to stop the beast itself.. the beast is trying to find a crystal which is able to cause destruction to the planet..If we find this crystal.. then we can stop the beast..”
Aku had agreed Kry opening up a portal in which Aku enters first. After this happens, the tiger beast’s yellow spirit leaves Kry's body.
”The yellow crystal is able to seal a being into it forever..
”Once I acquire this crystal, I will be able to seal the king of this planet and then I shall be the king of this planet!”
Aku and Kry are now walking through the first town that the tiger beast had destroyed. Kry having his arms to his back and Aku having his hands on the back of his head.
”So this crystal Kry, why does the tiger want it so badly?”
”This crystal is very powerful that it is able to increase the power of an individual who wields it..”
”So what town do you think would contain this crystal?”
”Coconut Fortress. it's located on the other side of the planet...”
Aku walking with Kry and heading straight on the pathway to Kashvar Fortress.
”Kry, are there enemies that we will have to worry about in Coconut Fortress?”
Kry casually shifting his eyes to Aku and having his arms to his back.
”Powerful sentries yes.. however, I have taught you well enough to handle them.. I will also be by your side aiding you.. I am almost certain that the crystal is here..”
They finally arrive on scene as the entrance to the black 20ft gate and fence appears to be abandoned, rusted, and the double door appears to be coming off it’s hinges. They walk into the entrance, sentries coming out of nowhere and surrounding the both of them. The leader of this commanded fleet looks to them with a smirk.
”Turn back now or suffer the consequences…”
Kry and Aku entering their fighting stances, as the sentries entered their hyena monster state and the leader being a much bigger version of the hyena and more dark brown in color. The sentries heading towards the both of them with saliva dripping from their mouths. The wizard clapping his hands together as he speaks underneath his breath and reciting a spell. The ground underneath the hyena sentries open up and several of them fall into the endless void as the wizard closes it right up. Aku entering his jackal transformation and evading the strikes of the hyena sentries. He would quickly find openings to the sentries after they had strike and rushing towards them and striking their pressure points as they drop to the ground and being knocked out.
The both of them continued dishing out their attacks and eventually the number count was so high that the leader of the hyena started to laugh.
”I see.. I am not dealing with average foes here.. I think it's time I stepped in and handle it..”
The leader dashing towards Aku and impacting his palm against Aku’s chest, causing him to fly backwards and onto the ground. The intense impact causing Aku to cough up blood. The wizard taking his shot and firing a mixture of fire and lighting ball towards the leader. The unexpected strike engulfing the leader and ending his life quickly. Kry walking over to Aku afterwards and healing him from his wound. Aku rising to his feet as he looks to Kami.
”Hehe, don't let age fool you. I am much stronger than I look..”
Aku had chuckled as the both of them continued to walk further into the castle.
”Kry, If I may ask.. why don't we get the other eleven beast you created to aid us in this?”
”these beast are only created through giving another being the beast.. now if that being decides to leave with the beast, there's nothing I can do until that beast fully takes over their body and then they will do as I command..but until then.. I can't call them to help..”
The both of them coming to a complete stop, where the Tiger beast appears on top of the castle. Aku and Kry flying straight to the tiger and landing on the rooftop. The tiger beast looking at them and focusing his main attention on Aku.
”You.. you have a beast inside you boy..”
Still in Jackal’s form, Jackal looks to the tiger beast.
”What’s it to you beast?..”
Aku charging straight to the tiger, the both of them grabbing each other’s hands as they try to outpower the other. The tiger bringing Aku to his knees as the tiger stares into Jackal’s face.
”You are too weak to beat me..”
”Never underestimate your opponent..”
Jackal opening his mouth as a giant ball forms and he fires it at Tiger. Tiger going with the ball into the sky as he grabs a hold of the ball and lifting it up over his head.
”You are pathetic...”
The tiger hurling the ball at Jackal while also firing off his own mouth beam at it. Jackal crossing his arms and blocking the attack. Jackal’s feet begin to dig into the ground and sending him back a bit as Jackal then extends his arms out and unfolds them as he now holds onto the beam. The intense struggle and Jackal being able to hurl the ball away and then taking the mouth beam directly to the stomach.
Aku laying there with a severe injury as the wizard charges towards the tiger beast. The tiger beast standing there as he looks to Kry and begins to phase in and out. The tiger beast Appearance going from a tiger to a lion. The tiger then vanishing from the scenery as Aku reverts to his base form. Jackal’s spirit leaving Aku’s body as he looks to Kry.
”Kry! Don't tell me that the tiger is actually Lion!”
”Who is lion?”
”Lion is the brother of Jackal.. and the second strongest of the twelve.. as to how he got this powerful and taking on a different appearance is beyond me..”
”That's strange because that doesn't sound like Lion.. nor does he have the same ki signature..”
”Not all beast train in physical fighting.. some train on hiding their ki signatures or hiding their true appearance.. it is clear that Lion has gotten more stronger than you Jackal..”
”So what will we do now Kry ? More training with Jackal?”
Kry had nodded and all of them heading back home.
Aku heading to bed and the tiger beast meeting with Kry at a wasteland.
”were you able to do the task?”
”Yes.. I was able to kill Lion.. your strength has returned to you and now Aku along with Jackal believes that one of the eleven did this.. but why kill off one of the eleven? And why not just keep the mysterious tiger legend?”
”Aku is growing in strength.. which means Jackal is also getting stronger. Which means that I have to keep making you stronger than him.. I have also done some searching and the crystal isn't real.. We have to also make sure that Aku and Jackal doesn't go searching for the other beasts..”
