A few years ago, back when Kinto was just eleven years old, Kinto and his father, Kito, were in a training field. Kinto had been using a gun to shoot out highly powerful bullets at targets, each shot causing a massive explosion of energy that would turn buildings to rubble. As he did so, Kinto felt bored. He looked at his father who was working on a weapon that looked like a bow and arrow "Hey, dad. I'm kinda tired. When can we stop target practice and just do an actual training?", Kito replied while focused on his craft "We are training. What are you talking about?", Kinto looked at him "No I mean the kind of training we do at the academy. You know? The one's were we fight robots and have to deal with killing drones and stuff.". Kito's eyes glanced upwards "Oh.", before he continued "Well Levi can always help you with that.", Kinto looked slightly confused and annoyed at the same time "So you've just given up on training me now. Is that it?", Kito didn't respond, leading Kinto to sigh "Damn it.", he muttered. The father and son duo fell quiet, non of them saying a thing. Kinto broke the silence "Hey dad. What's it like fighting a crazy person?", Kito paused for a bit before he kept working on his invention when his son asked him that "What makes you ask that?", Kinto explained "I don't know. During training with teachers at the academy, some of them tend to go off the rails. I usually debate whether to act just as crazy or just strategies my way through em.". Kito stopped what he was doing "Haaah.", he sighed, Kinto replied with his voice slightly raised "You know if you don't want to answer my question, you don't have too.". Kito chuckled for a moment before he explained "No, that's not it.", he continued to educate his son on the art of madness, his back was turned to him while doing so "You see, there are two ways to deal with a crazy person.", he raised a finger "You either match their crazy if you can. Or, you try to act smart. When I was still a young assassin, we came across a lot of crazy criminals, some of our classmates were very crazy when it came to missions. Hell, I had a friend who was crazy, still do.". A question mark appeared on Kinto's head "Your point is....?", Kito stood up, putting on some mechanical gloves after putting the pieces of his inventions together "Kinto. When two crazy people fight, two things are going through their heads. Either they want to kill each other, or they just want to have fun while killing each other.", Kinto asked "Aren't those reasons the same thing?", Kito corrected his son "They are different.". He gave his son one more lesson "Kinto, you tend to debate whether to lose it or keep your head intact. But when you're losing it, you tend to express yourself more. So when you're fighting someone crazy....", he looked at Kinto with a soft but devious grin with his side profile "Just enjoy yourself.". The mechanical arrow bursted to life, gleaming white energy shooting around the place like a storm. Just before he was about to shoot the arrow as he held it with his mechanical gloves, the memory fades to Kinto of current doing the same thing. Kinto was holding an arrow of red energy, it's power shot out like a storm as he held them "GUESS I'LL JUST ENJOY MYSELF!", Kinto exclaimed with joy in his voice before shooting said attack. The red arrow of energy shot out at the target, Kenji being the target, shot forward as well with his lightning sword. He ended up clashing with the arrow and slicing it in half, the half's splitting apart and destroying everything around it to ashes. He looked forward with a grin on his face before Kinto appeared behind him "Im over here.", he said to Kenji. Kenji turned back to Kinto, meanwhile Kinto had already created a sword of energy to fight him. Within moments, Kenji and Kinto were running violently, slamming their swords together as they moved. Running, twisting and throwing swings and slashes at each other at violent manners. This exchange went on until Kenji was able to dominate the sword fight by slicing Kinto's sword of energy with brute force, Kinto's sword blowing up on his hand. This stunned Kinto, and because of his momentary distraction, Kenji was able to bang him with his lightning sword. Kinto was sent flying, he was rolling In the air to the ground like an heavy object. Following him were giant spears and shurikens of yellow lightning that blasted everything in its way to ashes as they raced after him. Kinto was able to get his balance, but now he had to perform stunts to avoid the incoming attacks. Kinto scated on the floor and started performing backflips and dives just to avoid the lightning attacks, he even threw explosives of his own and gave himself distance to avoid the blasts. Explosion of both lightning and red energy blew everything to nothing but smoke and choas. Kinto had started running, bolts of lightning chasing after him, he had noticed this and had started to dodge as he ran. But all the dodging came to an end when Kenji swooped in and bashed Kinto the ground. Kinto's body was like a skateboard, destroying the floor as Kenji was above him, gripping him with a face of glee. Both Kenji and Kinto were happy. They both were fighting to the death for sure, but they didn't see it that way. To the two of them, it was as if they were having fun, two friends laughing together after not seeing each other for so long. The look of glee on their faces was unmistakable. Kenji's lightning arm had turned into flames, powerful flames that would probably have destroyed Kinto's face with a single blow. He thrusted down his punch, ten's of thousands of degrees burning through the arm, but then a beam of energy shot through from the side, shooting Kenji away from Kinto with a massive explosion as a result. Kenji cleared off the dust with a swoop of his hand, his dragon like smile only widened when he looked up. What Kenji saw were countless cross explosives In the air, each one ready to shoot down at him when Kinto was ready to give the command. Kinto grinned "Remember this, buddy?", he clicked a detonator "Shoot.", and as their master commanded, they shot. Hundreds of thousands of beams shot down like rain, Kenji only got more excited. A sword of pure flames appeared on his arms, he took a stance, more flaming spears surrounding the air around him. The heat of the surrounding area had increased. This battle had taken a new turn.
