Dao Midnight was walking through wonder island when he heard a scream over the horisin, Midnight shot forward, flying towards the chaos, to try to save the innocent.
What he witnessed at this spot of the island was all so beautiful wherever he looked. The water was pure and the land was green with trees and no battle scars at all. With an evil smirk on his face, Dao Midnight snarled, "Humph, this land is far too nice, but, there has to be some warriors who can help my cause. From here on out my plan is to build up the perfect group of warriors. Others skilled like me.. we don't need an army right from the get to go.. but hell, I wouldn't mind having hundreds to thousands... even millions all at my feet.'
Glaring around he smiles as he realizes there is no welcoming party, 'At least I have time to get my things.' Reaching around he grabs a black cloak from the ship and covers himself up with it. The cloak covers his whole body as the hood hides his face. All that you could really see were two sky blue eyes staring out at it's surroundings.
Reaching into the pod again he grabs a sword and starts swinging it around. He was doing spinning slashes and threw in some stabs and lunges as to test himself with this weapon. Smiling, 'This should do just fine.' Dao Midnight glances up to the sky and then looks at his surroundings once more and notices a hill top. Thinking to himself that he could get a better view from up there he heads towards it.
He sees an entire village down below and noticed a kid starring at him. Dao Midnight stood atop the mountain while it was sunny The wind was blowing his cape making it all wavy like and he had his right hand with his blade in it pointing right at the kid. He noticed the kid's mouth drop then a some sound in his head started speaking informing him of danger. (Scouter Voice) 'Target behind'! Dao Midnight flipped his blade upside down in his hand and shoved it behind him under his right arm stabbing something.
Loud sirens rang throughout the village and people started screaming, 'Wolves, RUN'!!! The whole village was running around terrified of these four legged beasts. Dao Midnight decided to look behind himself to see what he killed and sure enough it was a wolf. (Loud booming voice) 'Danger, surrounded'. Dao Midnight glances around and notices 3 wolves all diving at him in the air. Crouching a bit then shoving his hands to his side, he surrounds himself in a ball that shoots outwards as some sort of explosive wave that incinerated the wolves all at once. Wondering about the boy he looks back to notice the kid is in danger.
He sees another wolf glaring at the kid so he rushes down to the village not knowing what kind of trouble this could hold for him. As the wolf jumps into the air diving at the kid Dao Midnight also jumps hoping to intercept the wolf's attack. He takes his sword hand while he is in flight and lowers it from the right side of his body to the lower left and whips it diagonally upwards slashing the wolf right in half out of the air in front of the kid.
While starring at the kid from under his hood, 'Hey kid, how many of these wolves are there'? The kid started staggering to his feet from shock and stutters, 'I don't know, Master Tao never sends the same amount'. Dao Midnight glances around and doesn’t see any people fighting off the wolves, they all just seem to accept their fate and that leaves him clueless. He looks over to the kid again 'Why don't you guys fight back, don't you have something to fight these things off'? The kid starts pouting 'Not since Master Tao killed them all, if there were anyone who could fight off the wolves, Master Tao killed them himself.'
(Draconic Voice) 'Attack from behind'!!! Dao Midnight spins around swinging his sword and sends it right across another wolfs face sending him flying into a house across the street. Quickly glancing back at the kid and asks him 'Did you hear that voice as well'? Completely clueless the kid states he heard nothing of the sort. "Kid, you have to tell me where to find this Master Tao, I will have a word with him.'
The kid looks up towards Dao Midnight’s face but his hood doesn’t let the kid see anything but his raging blue eyes, 'People normally don't find Master Tao, he finds them'. (Draconic Voice) 'Large power level detected, locking in'. Dao Midnight got a huge smile on his face, 'Well kid, I'll see you around'. He then rushes off using some sort of data he had in himself to find this large power level. 'Just within those few minutes I found so many different skills I'm equipped with. Though I don't remember anything from my past it seems something inside me is guiding me to the right answer.' Thoughts of maybe helping the village ran through his mind but he found himself wanting to find this Master Tao guy and maybe have him fight in the organization he wishes to start.
While running Dao Midnight tries to remember his past but his mind stays blank. Then he has to stop trying to remember his past as three more wolves start running along side him. One of the three wolves jump at him from behind on his right side and Dao Midnight elbows it viscously on top of it's head sending it right into the ground while he continues running. Another one tries to hit him from his other side, while it is flying in the air at him he whips his arm at the bottom of the wolfs legs sending it flipping in the air. While the wolf is afloat Dao Midnight roundhouses it sending him flying into the side of the third one knocking them both to the ground.
Dao Midnight stops running as he nears an entrance to some dark woods that renders him without sight. The Draconic voice from before begins to speak once again in a soft whisper, 'Channel your Ki to your eyes and use that to sense out your surroundings.' After hearing that Dao Midnight nodded his head as he thought back to when he sent that massive energy ball all around himself. Trying to control the same type of energy he envisioned it heading towards his eyes. Suddenly all the darkness just disappears and he can see as clear as day.
Once he could see again he scans the area to make sure that the dark didn't hide anything from him before, but nothing seemed to show up. Dao Midnight reaches inside his cloak and grabs his sword out from it knowing there is something near. Thinking to himself, 'I know there is something in there, but how am I suppose to know for sure'? Once again a Draconic voice speaks to him 'Try closing your eyes... in vision your energy coming out of you and covering the area'.
Everything he sees goes red with yellowish, human shaped blobs around his vision and stopping at certain points. There were three different yellow spots, two up in the trees and one behind a tree. (Draconic voice) 'As you can now see three life forms detected, two on the left have power level around five-hundred and one on right has eight-hundred . Which means, easy victory'. Shaking his head Dao Midnight snickers, 'Ya whatever power level means, but alright.'
Having sensed out the enemy he was able to know the exact places where they were so he vanished behind the one on the left up in the tree. This enemy wasn't one of those wolves, this one was actually man-like. Dao Midnight took his blade and slammed it right through the guy's back. When he pulled it out the guy started to fall down where someone was waiting below. So Dao Midnight jumped out of the tree right behind the guy standing below. Dao Midnight held his blade out and spun around slashing it right into the guys kidney killing him rather quickly.
(Draconic voice) 'Danger to your left.' The third guy heard all the commotion and was right behind Dao Midnight already going for a slash at him. Right before the blade hit Dao Midnight he disappeared and reappeared right behind the man. Quickly putting his blade back into his cloak he put the guy in a full nelson. Jumping up high into the air with this guy, he slowly started turning upside down. With great speed he began to circulate with this guy in his grasp and when they met the ground the guys face smashed it with amazing impact knocking him out.
Dao Midnight started smiling 'To bad nobody is here to see this, massacres like this are a rare treat to see. Now let's see if this works.' Closing his eyes he envisioned his ki covering the area, and he continued to focus harder and harder pushing it as far away as possible.' This time his vision didn't go red with a bunch of yellow human like blobs, instead he could just sense what he was looking for. Dao Midnight gets another grin on his face 'I'm starting to get the hang of this.'
Dao Midnight runs right into the direction shown to him getting attacked by a few more people and wolves but they stood no chance to his amazing show of speed and precision. 'This is weird, the more I fight these guys the easier it gets. It's as if I am learning what they do before they even do it.' While Dao Midnight is in these thoughts he is suddenly halted when he encounters a small cave that seems to lead to an underground trail.
Dao Midnight nods his head in approval, 'This is definitely where he's hiding out at.' Closing his eyes to just open them once again he gains his red vision and he detects a lot of different powers inside of this underground hideout. 'If this is where Master Tao is, I really have no choice but to continue forward, looking back and scanning the area to see if there is anyone watching his he notices nothing, so he goes off and enters inside this cave.
Looking around he is completely floored to what he sees is some sort of castle or mansion. 'An underground kingdom is what this is... this is amazing.' (Draconic voice) 'Danger coming, go above them.' Dao Midnight confused, 'How can I go above them?' the Draconic voice replies, 'Like this.' Dao Midnight tries grabbing at the wall as his feet slowly start to rise off the ground, he is stunned by this ability to fly. Laughing to himself though trying to keep it quiet, 'Ha ha, this is amazing, I can fly...
Dao Midnight seen a bunch of guards running below him and he couldn't help but smile as he goes around the area to check this place out some more. As he heads place to place he notices it isn't as huge as he thought it would be, though it is under ground so can't expect anything to big. Though what was in it was very well done and fancy.
Entering what seems to be the main room, a bright light shines over it with chandeliers hanging off the ceiling. Magnificent green carpeting covers the entire floor with a little patch opened revealing a trap door. At the end of the room seems to be Master Tao resting in some sort of throne. He’s a man who looks no older than 35 dressed in a thief-like outfit. Waving his hand two men stroll out leaving him and a younger soldier alone.
Trying to keep quiet he tried to begin to listen in on what they were saying until he notices two wolfs on each side of the throne begin to sniff. Knowing his cover is blown as soon as they bark he lets himself drop before the doors as he turns around and slams them shut. Taking the wood next to the door he places it where it's meant to be when sealing this room off. Grinning he turns around and bows before them.
While in his bow the two wolfs rush at him simultaneously, while both dive at him through the air Dao Midnight leaps up and twists his body so he is facing, and parallel to the ground. Bending both his knees inward he quickly kicks them outward into both of the wolfs face sending them flying back, but not killing them. While still mid air he flips over landing with cat like grace back on the ground.
Rising off of one knee he turns around and nods his head, 'Now, I am guessing the one in the chair is Master Tao no?' As he begins to walk forward the young soldier in front of Master Tao rises up and reaches for his blade. With no care Dao Midnight continues forward, 'Fine don't answer, I am only here to ask you a request that may or may not interest you.
Raising his hand as if to tell the soldier to wait, 'Well I can see you have skill, I'll listen to what you have to say.' Dao Midnight smiles to that and begins to explain his plan to build up a group of people, filled with the most illustrious fighters around. Continuing he explains how it won't be an empire at first, he wishes it to be more of a group of rouges out to obtain all they want.
At this offer Master Tao begins to laugh, 'So you expect me to give up all I have right now to join you?? You have to be joking...' Waving his hand, 'Do away with this man, I want nothing to do with him.' Nodding his head the soldier obeys and tries to cut Dao Midnight down to size.
Noticing the soldier coming at him he sways to his left then raises his right knee into the gut of him. While the man's feet raise off the ground Dao Midnight spins himself to his left sending the back of his left hand across the man's face knocking him out of the fight. Snicker, 'Well I hope you're not as bad as this guy or you are really going to have a bad day.
Pushing himself out of his throne he reaches to the left side of his throne and picked up his blade. Holding his head high as he walked forward great confidence was shown on his face, 'It's alright, you don't have to worry for me at all. I swear, I'll do just fine!' Part way through his sentence he was already rushing in at Dao Midnight.
The Draconic voice began to speak again, 'Careful on this one, he isn't like the rest, he really does know what he's doing.' Dao Midnight swung his blade upwards protecting himself from the first massive swing from Master Tao. Talking inside his head, 'Ya I realize that, he has heavy swings. But as he said, no worries. Heh, I know I can take this guy.'
As Master Tao swung his blade horizontally Dao Midnight leaned back underneath it and vertically swung his sword up knocking Master Tao's blade out of his hand. With a grin Dao Midnight sheaths his sword, 'Let's try this fist to fist shall we.' With a look of confusion on his face he nods as if ready. Though many thoughts ran through his mind.
Master Tao begins to think to himself, 'This is unheard of, someone posing a threat to me, and I've never even seen this guy before. Another thing is, it seems he's holding back, whether I win or not I will definitely be remembering this fight for a long time.' Dao Midnight holds both hands out from his side, 'Well let's get this going already.'
With a nod Master Tao rushes towards Dao Midnight then leaps up in the air over top of him. While directly above him he smiles and shouted out, 'Got ya!.' Rushing down with a soaring punch Dao Midnight smiles and curves his body around the punch and places both of his own hands onto the ground. Pushing off from it Dao Midnight sends his right foot up into the gut of Master Tao.
Dao Midnight begins to laugh as he stays on the ground, 'Got me do ya??' Rolling backwards he pushes off the ground again this time drop-kicking both of his feet into Master Tao's side sending him across the room. Rising to his feet Dao Midnight grins, 'Didn't work out as you planned huh?' As Master Tao slowly rose to his feet with both eyes squinted he sighed, 'No, not quite..'
Instantly wanting the action to continue Dao Midnight rushes in on Master Tao right away shifting place to place at speeds that makes it seem like transportation in Master Tao's eyes. Master Tao barely moves as he shakes his head, 'I, I just can't keep up him!' Dao Midnight then vanishes before him appearing on Master Tao's left side. Jumping to his own right he then jumps right back with his elbow going across Master Tao's face tossing him right back to the ground again.
Standing up above Master Tao, 'Seems you weren’t all I expected, I'm looking for the best and you're obviously not it.' Master Tao angered with Dao Midnight’s words rises back to his feet with a look of pure evil on his face. Dao Midnight continues to look at him then shakes his head, 'Time to end this!' Whipping his fist towards Master Tao's face at full power Master Tao lifts his right hand up and catches the punch. Dao Midnight then spins around sending a backhand from the other side and Master Tao blocks that as well.
Now going at Dao Midnight Master Tao sends punches flying wildly as Dao Midnight ducks and weaves his head back avoiding them all skillfully. Quickly dodging underneath a kick Dao Midnight heads back in at Master Tao with counter attacks until both Master Tao and Dao Midnight dash backwards away from one another. Both glaring at each other sweat shows on both of their strained faces.
As Master Tao came rushing back in Dao Midnight stuck his foot out into the stomach of Master Tao and harshly shoved him aside then away. Leaping into the air Dao Midnight flips backwards away from Master Tao. As Dao Midnight backs away he springs into a defensive stance reading himself for Master Tao's next strike.
As Master Tao was rushing in Dao Midnight leaped into the air and sprung his right leg out once into his stomach, then another was moved up into his chest followed by a straight kick off of Master Tao's leg sending Dao Midnight back up into the air again. While up in the air he swung himself around sending his heel across Master Tao's knee lowering him to the ground once again. Finishing his combo he sent his leg forward into Master Tao's gut skidding him across the ground until he is halted by pushed up mound of dirt.
Master Tao pushes himself up off the ground and staggers a bit as loud banging came off the door. A smile consumes his face as he nods at Dao Midnight, 'Finally they made it.' Dao Midnight shakes his head as he rushes in at Master Tao and flies at his with his leg bent and extends it right into the chest of Master Tao sending him flying back. While still in the air the door gets bashed open as Dao Midnight spins 180 degrees while within the air facing the pack rushing in at him.
As the pack reaches within 3 feet of him Dao Midnight zanzokens out of the air and right behind the lead one and spins around sending a roundhouse across it's head forcing it across the room. While dropping down he pulled his arm back and sent a hay maker dead center of it's chest forcing that one across the room as well.
Jumping back up towards the final one he sends a kick in to the chest to open up it's guard, as he dropped back to his feet he threw a straight jab followed by a left hook knocking it off balance. He then drew back his right arm and swung it low arcing it up high as he connected with a monstrous uppercut sending the guy flying through the air, hitting the roof of the gravitron and falling back to the ground crushed from 400x gravity.
Noticing Dao Midnight was busy Master Tao tried to rest up before he rushes back in. Cringing from every strike Dao Midnight did he was trying to think of any possible way he could win though no thoughts came to his mind. Once Dao Midnight was on the last guy Master Tao rushed in for his own strike though Dao Midnight parried it then sidestepped around him and pushed Master Tao's arm aside.
While staring at Master Tao two more thieves came rushing in from behind him. Smiling to Master Tao, Dao Midnight knew more were coming and he slid back in-between both of them and turned his body facing towards the two. Stretching out his right leg he drove his knee into the kidney to the one on his right. Sliding his body back away from the two of them he pulled his knee out of the one and sent a backwards roundhouse to the other one on his left.
Master Tao trying to take the advantage again, he sends flurries of punches after Dao Midnight took down the second thief. Though it seems Dao Midnight in such a short time progressed, now his movements are much different from before. They are like water, such flow fluid like grace in every dodge.
Suddenly Master Tao blew a whizzle and the wolfs stopped. "I had to test you, you i am the man with wolves, and now your evades have improved. and your wearing light weighted clothing. so for your price...
Master Tao tossed Midnight some money. "Get real strong..." And with that, he threw down a smoke bomb and disapeared
What he witnessed at this spot of the island was all so beautiful wherever he looked. The water was pure and the land was green with trees and no battle scars at all. With an evil smirk on his face, Dao Midnight snarled, "Humph, this land is far too nice, but, there has to be some warriors who can help my cause. From here on out my plan is to build up the perfect group of warriors. Others skilled like me.. we don't need an army right from the get to go.. but hell, I wouldn't mind having hundreds to thousands... even millions all at my feet.'
Glaring around he smiles as he realizes there is no welcoming party, 'At least I have time to get my things.' Reaching around he grabs a black cloak from the ship and covers himself up with it. The cloak covers his whole body as the hood hides his face. All that you could really see were two sky blue eyes staring out at it's surroundings.
Reaching into the pod again he grabs a sword and starts swinging it around. He was doing spinning slashes and threw in some stabs and lunges as to test himself with this weapon. Smiling, 'This should do just fine.' Dao Midnight glances up to the sky and then looks at his surroundings once more and notices a hill top. Thinking to himself that he could get a better view from up there he heads towards it.
He sees an entire village down below and noticed a kid starring at him. Dao Midnight stood atop the mountain while it was sunny The wind was blowing his cape making it all wavy like and he had his right hand with his blade in it pointing right at the kid. He noticed the kid's mouth drop then a some sound in his head started speaking informing him of danger. (Scouter Voice) 'Target behind'! Dao Midnight flipped his blade upside down in his hand and shoved it behind him under his right arm stabbing something.
Loud sirens rang throughout the village and people started screaming, 'Wolves, RUN'!!! The whole village was running around terrified of these four legged beasts. Dao Midnight decided to look behind himself to see what he killed and sure enough it was a wolf. (Loud booming voice) 'Danger, surrounded'. Dao Midnight glances around and notices 3 wolves all diving at him in the air. Crouching a bit then shoving his hands to his side, he surrounds himself in a ball that shoots outwards as some sort of explosive wave that incinerated the wolves all at once. Wondering about the boy he looks back to notice the kid is in danger.
He sees another wolf glaring at the kid so he rushes down to the village not knowing what kind of trouble this could hold for him. As the wolf jumps into the air diving at the kid Dao Midnight also jumps hoping to intercept the wolf's attack. He takes his sword hand while he is in flight and lowers it from the right side of his body to the lower left and whips it diagonally upwards slashing the wolf right in half out of the air in front of the kid.
While starring at the kid from under his hood, 'Hey kid, how many of these wolves are there'?

Dao Midnight glances around and doesn’t see any people fighting off the wolves, they all just seem to accept their fate and that leaves him clueless. He looks over to the kid again 'Why don't you guys fight back, don't you have something to fight these things off'? The kid starts pouting 'Not since Master Tao killed them all, if there were anyone who could fight off the wolves, Master Tao killed them himself.'
(Draconic Voice) 'Attack from behind'!!! Dao Midnight spins around swinging his sword and sends it right across another wolfs face sending him flying into a house across the street. Quickly glancing back at the kid and asks him 'Did you hear that voice as well'? Completely clueless the kid states he heard nothing of the sort. "Kid, you have to tell me where to find this Master Tao, I will have a word with him.'
The kid looks up towards Dao Midnight’s face but his hood doesn’t let the kid see anything but his raging blue eyes, 'People normally don't find Master Tao, he finds them'. (Draconic Voice) 'Large power level detected, locking in'. Dao Midnight got a huge smile on his face, 'Well kid, I'll see you around'. He then rushes off using some sort of data he had in himself to find this large power level. 'Just within those few minutes I found so many different skills I'm equipped with. Though I don't remember anything from my past it seems something inside me is guiding me to the right answer.' Thoughts of maybe helping the village ran through his mind but he found himself wanting to find this Master Tao guy and maybe have him fight in the organization he wishes to start.
While running Dao Midnight tries to remember his past but his mind stays blank. Then he has to stop trying to remember his past as three more wolves start running along side him. One of the three wolves jump at him from behind on his right side and Dao Midnight elbows it viscously on top of it's head sending it right into the ground while he continues running. Another one tries to hit him from his other side, while it is flying in the air at him he whips his arm at the bottom of the wolfs legs sending it flipping in the air. While the wolf is afloat Dao Midnight roundhouses it sending him flying into the side of the third one knocking them both to the ground.
Dao Midnight stops running as he nears an entrance to some dark woods that renders him without sight. The Draconic voice from before begins to speak once again in a soft whisper, 'Channel your Ki to your eyes and use that to sense out your surroundings.' After hearing that Dao Midnight nodded his head as he thought back to when he sent that massive energy ball all around himself. Trying to control the same type of energy he envisioned it heading towards his eyes. Suddenly all the darkness just disappears and he can see as clear as day.
Once he could see again he scans the area to make sure that the dark didn't hide anything from him before, but nothing seemed to show up. Dao Midnight reaches inside his cloak and grabs his sword out from it knowing there is something near. Thinking to himself, 'I know there is something in there, but how am I suppose to know for sure'? Once again a Draconic voice speaks to him 'Try closing your eyes... in vision your energy coming out of you and covering the area'.
Everything he sees goes red with yellowish, human shaped blobs around his vision and stopping at certain points. There were three different yellow spots, two up in the trees and one behind a tree. (Draconic voice) 'As you can now see three life forms detected, two on the left have power level around five-hundred and one on right has eight-hundred . Which means, easy victory'. Shaking his head Dao Midnight snickers, 'Ya whatever power level means, but alright.'
Having sensed out the enemy he was able to know the exact places where they were so he vanished behind the one on the left up in the tree. This enemy wasn't one of those wolves, this one was actually man-like. Dao Midnight took his blade and slammed it right through the guy's back. When he pulled it out the guy started to fall down where someone was waiting below. So Dao Midnight jumped out of the tree right behind the guy standing below. Dao Midnight held his blade out and spun around slashing it right into the guys kidney killing him rather quickly.
(Draconic voice) 'Danger to your left.' The third guy heard all the commotion and was right behind Dao Midnight already going for a slash at him. Right before the blade hit Dao Midnight he disappeared and reappeared right behind the man. Quickly putting his blade back into his cloak he put the guy in a full nelson. Jumping up high into the air with this guy, he slowly started turning upside down. With great speed he began to circulate with this guy in his grasp and when they met the ground the guys face smashed it with amazing impact knocking him out.
Dao Midnight started smiling 'To bad nobody is here to see this, massacres like this are a rare treat to see. Now let's see if this works.' Closing his eyes he envisioned his ki covering the area, and he continued to focus harder and harder pushing it as far away as possible.' This time his vision didn't go red with a bunch of yellow human like blobs, instead he could just sense what he was looking for. Dao Midnight gets another grin on his face 'I'm starting to get the hang of this.'
Dao Midnight runs right into the direction shown to him getting attacked by a few more people and wolves but they stood no chance to his amazing show of speed and precision.

Noticing the soldier coming at him he sways to his left then raises his right knee into the gut of him.

Snicker, 'Well I hope you're not as bad as this guy or you are really going to have a bad day.
Pushing himself out of his throne he reaches to the left side of his throne and picked up his blade. Holding his head high as he walked forward great confidence was shown on his face, 'It's alright, you don't have to worry for me at all. I swear, I'll do just fine!'

Dao Midnight holds both hands out from his side, 'Well let's get this going already.'
With a nod Master Tao rushes towards Dao Midnight then leaps up in the air over top of him. While directly above him he smiles and shouted out, 'Got ya!.' Rushing down with a soaring punch Dao Midnight smiles and curves his body around the punch and places both of his own hands onto the ground. Pushing off from it Dao Midnight sends his right foot up into the gut of Master Tao.
Dao Midnight begins to laugh as he stays on the ground, 'Got me do ya??' Rolling backwards he pushes off the ground again this time drop-kicking both of his feet into Master Tao's side sending him across the room. Rising to his feet Dao Midnight grins, 'Didn't work out as you planned huh?' As Master Tao slowly rose to his feet with both eyes squinted he sighed, 'No, not quite..'
Instantly wanting the action to continue Dao Midnight rushes in on Master Tao right away shifting place to place at speeds that makes it seem like transportation in Master Tao's eyes. Master Tao barely moves as he shakes his head, 'I, I just can't keep up him!' Dao Midnight then vanishes before him appearing on Master Tao's left side. Jumping to his own right he then jumps right back with his elbow going across Master Tao's face tossing him right back to the ground again.
Standing up above Master Tao, 'Seems you weren’t all I expected, I'm looking for the best and you're obviously not it.' Master Tao angered with Dao Midnight’s words rises back to his feet with a look of pure evil on his face. Dao Midnight continues to look at him then shakes his head, 'Time to end this!' Whipping his fist towards Master Tao's face at full power Master Tao lifts his right hand up and catches the punch. Dao Midnight then spins around sending a backhand from the other side and Master Tao blocks that as well.
Now going at Dao Midnight Master Tao sends punches flying wildly as Dao Midnight ducks and weaves his head back avoiding them all skillfully. Quickly dodging underneath a kick Dao Midnight heads back in at Master Tao with counter attacks until both Master Tao and Dao Midnight dash backwards away from one another. Both glaring at each other sweat shows on both of their strained faces.
As Master Tao came rushing back in Dao Midnight stuck his foot out into the stomach of Master Tao and harshly shoved him aside then away. Leaping into the air Dao Midnight flips backwards away from Master Tao. As Dao Midnight backs away he springs into a defensive stance reading himself for Master Tao's next strike.
As Master Tao was rushing in Dao Midnight leaped into the air and sprung his right leg out once into his stomach, then another was moved up into his chest followed by a straight kick off of Master Tao's leg sending Dao Midnight back up into the air again. While up in the air he swung himself around sending his heel across Master Tao's knee lowering him to the ground once again. Finishing his combo he sent his leg forward into Master Tao's gut skidding him across the ground until he is halted by pushed up mound of dirt.
Master Tao pushes himself up off the ground and staggers a bit as loud banging came off the door. A smile consumes his face as he nods at Dao Midnight, 'Finally they made it.' Dao Midnight shakes his head as he rushes in at Master Tao and flies at his with his leg bent and extends it right into the chest of Master Tao sending him flying back. While still in the air the door gets bashed open as Dao Midnight spins 180 degrees while within the air facing the pack rushing in at him.
As the pack reaches within 3 feet of him Dao Midnight zanzokens out of the air and right behind the lead one and spins around sending a roundhouse across it's head forcing it across the room. While dropping down he pulled his arm back and sent a hay maker dead center of it's chest forcing that one across the room as well.
Jumping back up towards the final one he sends a kick in to the chest to open up it's guard, as he dropped back to his feet he threw a straight jab followed by a left hook knocking it off balance. He then drew back his right arm and swung it low arcing it up high as he connected with a monstrous uppercut sending the guy flying through the air, hitting the roof of the gravitron and falling back to the ground crushed from 400x gravity.
Noticing Dao Midnight was busy Master Tao tried to rest up before he rushes back in. Cringing from every strike Dao Midnight did he was trying to think of any possible way he could win though no thoughts came to his mind. Once Dao Midnight was on the last guy Master Tao rushed in for his own strike though Dao Midnight parried it then sidestepped around him and pushed Master Tao's arm aside.
While staring at Master Tao two more thieves came rushing in from behind him. Smiling to Master Tao, Dao Midnight knew more were coming and he slid back in-between both of them and turned his body facing towards the two. Stretching out his right leg he drove his knee into the kidney to the one on his right. Sliding his body back away from the two of them he pulled his knee out of the one and sent a backwards roundhouse to the other one on his left.
Master Tao trying to take the advantage again, he sends flurries of punches after Dao Midnight took down the second thief. Though it seems Dao Midnight in such a short time progressed, now his movements are much different from before. They are like water, such flow fluid like grace in every dodge.
Suddenly Master Tao blew a whizzle and the wolfs stopped. "I had to test you, you i am the man with wolves, and now your evades have improved. and your wearing light weighted clothing. so for your price...
Master Tao tossed Midnight some money. "Get real strong..." And with that, he threw down a smoke bomb and disapeared
