Last time we tuned in to our now lone hero, Jutsu had received some incredible news regarding his lost friend, Shibo. He, along with some other residents of heaven had gone missing. Now he must go on a quest to find him, and the other lost souls who have vanished without a trace. Will Jutsu find Shibo before it's too late? Or will he infinitely be searching for something that doesn't exist?
Reunion: Pt. 2
If Jutsu was about to embark on a quest around the world, he would need some supplies first. First he tried begging some of the owners of stores, but they refused. After being rejected from every store in the area, some verbally and others physically, he kicked a can down a street of a road. But as soon as Jutsu touched it, it vanished into thin air. "Note to self: Another problem with heaven: It's perfect, but it's too perfect." Littering is illegal, but if you do it, then it just vanishes. Everything is perfect in every way. "UGH, this isn't fair! Everyone's so HAPPY, but here I am with my best friend gone, and my only hopes of finding him rely on people who won't DO anything to help!" , Jutsu said out loud to himself.
Jutsu then made the rash decision of going on the quest without any materials. "Fine! If they don't wanna help, that's THEIR problem! I'll just do this stupid thing MYSELF! Then, when I'm all famous and stuff and get all those awards, they aren't going to get ANYTHING.", he thought out loud. And so, two days later, he would depart on his epic quest to find and Shibo. As Jutsu prepared his materials, which basically meant preparing himself for one heck of a flight, since you know, he WAS the materials, Rasch had appeared seemingly out of nowhere to wish him luck on his journey. "Hey, there uh, quick question. Are you SURE about doing this thing with literally NOTHING? Heaven's perfection only extends so far, ya know...", he said. Jican turned around and gave a look that obviously meant that he didn't understand.
Rasch sighed and scratched his head while he began to explain. "Look, kid. Heaven may SEEM like a good place, but it...isn't what you think. You see, Heaven is like a beacon. Anyone under it's light can live their lives happily yadda yadda yadda. BUT, if one were to say...be a complete idiot and go AWAY from the light into the darkness, well...". He started to look away from Jutsu, hesitant to finish the rest of his statement. "Well, I guess you could say things aren't as nice around those parts. But, I guess the same goes for hell too. Can't be lava pools and demons forever, y'know?". Jican nodded. In a way,
"Well, I guess you better get goin', huh? Those clouds ain't gonna find themselves.", Rasch said. Jican began hovering in the air before he took his ascent. "Yeah, I guess so, huh. Welp, see ya' later, Rasch!", Jutsu said enthusiastically, as slowly hovered farther into the air, and eventually went full speed. Full speed to where, you might ask? Well, the only logical place that anyone THIS lost could be.
The End of Heaven.

One Day Later
This wasn't going as well as Jican had planned. He was hungry, thirsty, and practically entirely out of ki. And to make matters worse, Rasch wasn't kidding. It was either raining or hailing ALL the time, and regardless of the weather, clouds were always above your head! What gives?! "Well this stinks... out of food... out of water... out of ki. Now i'm stuck to plain old WALKING!", Jutsu said. But it wasn't like anyone could hear him if they were even there. The winds were so strong that any sound would be blown away by the wind. "Geez, could this get ANY worse?", he questioned. Of course, he jinxed it, and a snowstorm picked up. "OH, COME ON!", Jican yelled. But now wasn't the time for yelling. If he spent too long out here, he could catch hypothermia. And if he had that for too long, then...
"I gotta find a place to crash, and FAST.", Jutsu said. He opened his eyes, which were closed 99% of the way because he knew that if he opened them any more, then a rush of snow would basically blind him. When he opened them, however, it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be, but that didn't excuse the rushing, freezing pain that entered his eyes. He couldn't see much of anything, but the one thing he COULD see was a vast mountain. One taller than anything he had ever seen on Earth. "If I could just find the right place...", Jican said to himself. He would begin to charge his ki, and fly up the mountain.
It was beginning to get colder, which was a sign of even worse weather than what was already happening. After a long time of searching, Jutsu finally found a cave to stay in. When he entered, everything seemed to get quiet. Too quiet. He walked along the floor of the cave, both himself and the rocky floor soaked with water created by the snow. "ECHO!", Jutsu yelled across it. The cave seemed to respond to Jican's cries, and his voice echoed across the walls of it. Seems like Jican hasn't lost his sense of humor even after the tragedies he'd been through.
After walking for a while, the monotonous sound of Jican's soggy shoes pressing against wet rocks became a different sound. It sounded...metallic? "What the...?", Jican said in awe. There's no way metal would be in a place like this, right? And even if there was, why in the middle of a mountain? Jutsu knew he had to investigate further. He continued along the pathway, until he passed a metal door with a gaping hole in it. "Where...what is this?", Jican said out loud. There were no lights, so he created a ball of ki to serve as a light source.

Jutsu managed to get through the door with moderate ease. When he got through, he looked down to see a set of wet stairs. He started walking down them, as it seemed tripping and falling down them wouldn't be the best idea. When he got down there, he saw a place he'd never forget. It seemed to be a lab of some sort. Papers were scattered across the floor, made wet by the dripping water made by the stalactites on the ceiling. Or was it stalagmites? Jutsu never really knew. Shattered glass was littered across the ground, so Jutsu had to watch his step.
"What...happened?", Jican asked himself. Why was there a building outside of the good side of heaven? Even more so, why a LAB? He continued to walk around the desolated lab. In his searches, he found a few dysfunctional machines that looked like they were out of a cartoon, two file cabinets, a broken chair, and what seemed to be some testing rooms. But the one thing that actually caught his eye, was a room that resembled a hospital. He was filled with excitement when he saw multiple beds that weren't damp or creepy. For a second, he thought to himself that he shouldn't fall asleep in a creepy lab. But hey, when you're a hero, you need your rest.
Which is why Jican couldn't sleep.
Ever since the incident at South Capitol, Jutsu began to question himself whether or not he was an actual hero. "I mean, yeah, I did help at South Capitol...but I wasn't any use... and besides. Shibo DIED because I was weak...", he thought to himself. But then, he had another thought. One that would change his life for either the better or the worse. One that would give his trip to heaven a meaning. "That's what I'll do. I'll find Shibo, we train until we get stronger."
"And then we'll get the heck out of here."
