And, it begins

(_Deep within a forest, not too far from Slade Hyuga's home. It was quiet, no sign of life in any direction at all. It was so quiet, that you could hear the towns going about their regular everyday routines.

This silence would continue until from the sky, would erupt a massive thunderbolt. As it touched the ground, it crashed hard sending the surrounding trees in arbitrary directions. A massive crater was also formed. The lightning bolt's energy continued its barrage on the earth for a short while before it retracted back into the dark, cloudy sky.

In the middle of the crater was a man, a man known as, Edward Steingard._)

"And now... The waiting game..."

(_Edward knew full well that Slade could feel his massive power within the area. There was a reason he didn't go directly to his house._)

Slade would be out on a mission, but his pupil would feel the strong presence and ran out side with his Zanpakto, and nth katana in tow.

"Who are you?"

Matsuo would ask as he saw the man standing among the smoldering ruins.

"If you are looking for Slade he's not here"

-With a whistle, Axel fake applauded Matsuo and Edward.-

"Wow, I can see this is turning out to be a good show. Ohoho, don't mind me. Continue."

-Axel nodded to them before turning and walking into a Corridor of Darkness. He knew Slade wasn't home and had come to talk to Matsuo. But now that he seemed busy, Axel had other plans in mind. Not even a few seconds later would a loud explosion be heard and smoke start to rise from where Slade's house was.-

-Telsa had been on her way back to Slade's house to begin her training with Matsuo when she heard the explosion. Her eyes widened and she pulled out a pokeball on instinct.-

"Go Houndoom!"

-She brought out the Dark Fire pokemon and jumped on its back, running full speed to the house. As she got closer, she could see smoke bellowing into the sky.-
