TIMESKIP #2 Takakashi Spirit Sword App #56286

Key: takakashi z

Character: Kabege

Skill(or transformation): Spirit Sword (t2)

How well do you know the source material?(obviously not relevant if it's a transformation): Pretty well, I watched Yu-yu Hakusho.

Reasoning: Kabege has dedicated himself wholly to further developing his ki-infused blade into something that he could consider a proper weapon to slaughter the mass of beasts and enemies that lay before him. He's become inspired through the battles he's taken part of, from masses of giant beasts, swarms of monsters, and otherwise heated battles that often left him battling for his life. It wasn't until he battled Arsene that he truly realized that in order to utilize his blade properly, he had to 'reforge' it, in order to utilize a weapon that was not as crude as what he essentially felt was a knife. He's worked tirelessly on realizing that dream, dedicating himself to the path of a swordsman, and learning techniques along the way that would allow him to properly wield such a weapon. He consumes himself into taking on the task to realize his singular goal, and to come out with a reliable technique that will carry him through many more battles to come.

What is the moment: During the five years, Kabege sets off on a solo journey in order to walk the path of improvement, and learning. He spends his time out of the city in order to expand upon knowledge in the ways of battle, as well as battling beasts along the way. He focuses not only on the physical aspect of wielding weaponry, but honing the power of his spirit, meditating beneath waterfalls and finding that rare pocket of 'inner peace' that has escaped him for some time. He's become more level-headed through rigorous training of both mind and body, and upon his return to the city, he continues to stride forward.

 Taking the time to humble himself underneath the tutelage of Nippy, he works for her business in order to realize the faults in his attempts to create what he deems the 'ultimate weapon'. The problem laid with the strain that it took to form such a weapon, and it split his attention to the point that he could find it usable in most situations. His lack of innate focus on both the sharpness and length of his blade is his undoing, but through training with Nippy, he's able to realize his short-comings and work to adjust such. Accompanied with such, he then began to train diligently with Gin, utilizing dangerous objects that were launched at him, in order to be able to utilize his weapon in the heat of battle.

 He's inspired to complete his training and developing the technique he's sought after for more than just his satisfaction, and his desire to protect his kin, however. As he learns of Gin's struggle to control himself, he becomes less selfish as an individual, and aims to actually assist the man whom he had bad-blood with, in order to make an ally of him. It is the pressure of his own success that he seeks to make this technique a reality, so that he is the one capable of ensuring Gin does not lose himself to the darkness clinging to him. They train together in order to realize this, and Kabege realizes that he's now begun to fight for something other than himself.

 Updates:

 Having laid siege to the city of Minobu with a small gang of warriors, he had wound up being soundly defeated by Tarok in combat, despite his attempts to prove his ideals to the citizens above. Kabege was among the strongest of Saiyans, and yet he was single-handedly defeated by Tarok, one whom had been crippled for the majority of his time in Minobu. The disparity in their strength has all but disappeared, leaving Kabege to be the one lagging behind the others. The city was breeding weakness among them, yet he was crushed soundly by the efforts of the opposition, and left brutally wounded in the process. He was then cast down from Minobu, where Kudo proceeded to bind him to the world below, unable to travel back up for an indefinite amount of time. It is in the hellish world below that Kabege trains and recuperates from his injuries, in an effort to survive the monster-infested regions laid before him.

 Following such, he engages in battle with the Garuda, siding with Mastema and Chervil in their attempts to work toward purging the world of its disease. As Terra and Yal moved to stop Chervil from inserting the Envy Gem into Kudo, Kabege stepped in to hold Terra off, despite being wounded from his excursions in the sky city. It ends with him having to flee the battle after the duo clash several times, and with Chervil being taken away by the Garuda. With an intent to find his comrade once more, Kabege tirelessly trains in order to prepare for the dangerous journey.

 Making enemies on both sides, the action of Kabege have led him and his small group of comrades to battle a two-front war-zone. And in order to accomplish such tasks, it will require the strength to do so.


...MORE...UPDATES:

 Following the witnessing of Tobias' death at the hands of Mercy the Vampire, Kabege is shaken to his core. He had come to be complacent with his level of skill until this point, but with the experience of TRUE strength, he humbles himself and sets off on a journey through the TS. It will consist of battling a variety of monsters, along with various other tasks that involve trekking new lands and finding even more powerful enemies to conquer. Accompanying him consists of Mastema and Zem, as they make a separate group from the congregating Minobu city and the plains settlement he had helped establish.
