Ahh, the Everfree forest. My first month was spent here and now I shall spend another. I do, love the feeling of nostalgia, it makes me feel... Happy, no, I suppose nostalgic is probably the proper word. 'cause, you know, nostalgia makes you nostalgic. "Nossstallllgiiiaaaaa. Hmmhm, I like that word."

Righto, training, do I even need to train, no, but I will because I have the Sharingan and the Rennigan and that means I have chakra and that, means I can Shadow clones which in turn means I can probably squeeze a couple years of training out of this month. Go me.

Pausing midstep I close my eyes and focus on my cells, more specifically, my chakra cells. Forcing Blacklight to do its thing, I make them bigger and more productive meaning I can use them more and gain back chakra faster, honestly, I spoil myself sometimes. Mabye I should produce an artificial heart, it makes chakra as well, doesn't it? On second thought no, a doesn't feel all that appealing and it probably wouldn't beat without actively trying to make it.

Performing the correct hand signs I pump a shit ton of chakra into the shadow clone jutsu and the result was most pleasing. At the very least there was a couple hundred me's running around, it was like Mr Meeseeks or something.

"What do ya need, Mother." Oh dear God, that was loud. What the hell, I really should have expected that, it was about three hundred voices at the sams time.

"Hold up, Mother, fuck's this about?" No really, do I look like a girl... Am I a trap then, oh God.

"We are-" Jesus!

"ONE! One of you speak, not all of you, just one." probably should have just summoned a couple at first, ah well, hindsight 20/20 and all that jazz. A random clone steps forward in what I hope be an explanation.

"Blacklight can make a hive mind, right? So, in a way, we are the hive which makes you the queen because hives don't really have kings. The only person to have a decent hive mind in Prototype was Greene and she figured herself a mother which means your now mother." Ok, what the hell.

"That was the dumbest shit i've ever heard in my life... and I've been to spaz-land." Spaz-land, how I wish I could forget that place, it practically breeds autism. Never again shall I do charity work. "Anyway, this isn't about those disgusting vermin, this is about superiority. Those princesses think they can leash me, prevent my evolution, but they will fail and I swear to all that is holy, I AM going to sing 'P is for Perfect' when I beat them!


*3 Weeks Later*


"Right-o. Glen one-hundred, and Glen two-hundred and seventy four! I need to test something!" At my call, the two identical me's appeared, both awaiting my command, as the other 298 me's continued to train, one was even training how to use a typewriter, trying to re-word the whole Star Wars series. So far, he's gotten to the third movie

"Now, I need you-" I pointed to number 274. "-To stand over there, and 100, I need you to continue practicing, and master the 8 paths on him." I ordered, as the two blinked for a moment, before they bowed, and proceeded to the empty field ahead, as I watched the other 298 join me in watching this show of awesomely-overpowered feats

Right now, the two were staring directly at each other like awaiting my command, then, I watched as 100 stared to glow with a sickening purple glow, before his body flew towards 274, causing a back-draft of air to nearly knock us flying. The Gate of Opening. Then in a flash of purple, 100 flew right through 274, knocking him to his knees.

Next was The Gate of Healing. At the new level of power, I watched as 100 vanished info a moving line of purple, before he struck 274 down to its back with a strike from below, then proceeding to kick him with an axe-kick on the head. When the dust settled, the clone rose from the hole, dusting itself off, as I watched its arm turn to shadows again.

"Shit. One of you replace him..." I muttered, as one took the place at the fading shadow, my mind thumping from the linked pain of being struck with the equivalent of a railgun to the head, chin, and chest. I then watched as 100 grunted, blood leaking from its mouth, before evaporating into red smoke, before I watched its body turn a darker shade of crimson. "Huh, already at Gate of Life."

100 then flew forwards, landing a solid, bone-shattering kick to the clone, sending it flying into the air, before 100 a flurry of strikes into the clone's body, 100's arms turning into nothing but flashes of red, and purple. Before I brought its palm above its head, before decapitating the clone entirely mid-air.

When a new clone took its fate to the battlefield, I watched as the forth Gate was activated, as 100 came crashing towards the earth like a comet. Then, in a flash of golden light, the two shadows being consumed by the massive release of magic power. Then, I nearly toppled over in pain, as I watched my clones all vanish from the intense light, which was now flickering like golden flames? Now that's strange, I don't-Oh fuck...

When the flames did subside, my clones were gone, along with my knees apparently, as I coughed up the equivalent of blacklight blood, before I looked up with a grin at the two Gods before me. Loki looked like a cross between calm, and 'I'm going to put my pain into your souls', and the other....was a girl? Not amused.

She was glaring with a fierce look in her golden eyes, as she moved a strand of orange-golden hair from her eyes. Then I watched as a blade appeared from thin-air, the tip stopping just before my neck. Ok, she's going through that time of the month.

"So, once again this clown's clown has nearly brought his own destruction. Prefect." She spat with a narrowed look, before I quickly stood up, pushing the flaming blade aside, my finger melting from the contact. Ow! "I can control flames, so try it again."

So I did, pushing my hand right through the blade, before I nearly screamed in pain from my hand turning to ashes in an instant. Ok, she was serious, and completely unfazed by that, damn she's good. Then Loki tapped his cane on the dirt.

"Serafin, please, don't provoke him, he's very persistent." Thanks for the vote of confidence Loki. "Shut it, you really fucked yourself this time."

"What Loki is trying to say, is that you nearly killed yourself without your own knowledge." Serafin...wait, the Nether Goddess? Great, another one. Then I watched as the blade was pointed directly at my eye. "Pay. Attention."

"I would, but you lost me at....Loki's name." I answered, as she blinked, before Loki pushed her back gently

"Ok-Ok, chill Serafin, I got this." Loki reassured with a sweat-drop, then he quickly spun on his heel, the Goddess tapping her finger against her arm. "Right, you. I just thought I let you know that even with those abilities, you're body will still be massively affected by the drawbacks. Therefore, stick to anything below 6 paths, if you go higher, I can't confirm you'll get another chance of avoiding Hell."

"So everything else is game?" I questioned, as I thought about it. There's still more applications of chakra that don't require my body to go through a breakdown of cells. So I just shrugged, before the temperature around us seemed to grow cooler. "Meh, I still got alot of other neat things to try, so one ability won't bite."

"Good, atleast he has his head on straighter than most." Serafin grunted, before her blade vanished into a puff of flames, before she approached me, punching me lightly in the chest. "Try that again, and no blacklight is going to fix you when i'm done. Got it?"

"Crystal." I muttered, before adding. "You could loose the blaze-like attitude next time." I don''t know why, but that did something. Now, being highly evolved sociopath, I can see even subtle movements, even down to her eyes reflecting...pain? That's new, so is most of the things ive learned in the last month

"R-Right. Seeya around, Loki." Wait, that's it? Apparently so, since she just up and vanished in burst of flames like a phoenix. I just stood there for a moment in confusion, not before Loki looked annoyed, before he sighed, looking like someone just shot his cat

"Couldn't have phrased that better, huh?" Loki mused, before pointing behind him at nothing. "I hate to say it, but bringing up her dead-husband's name was a near hit-and-miss."

"Wait what?" Shit, feeling rather guilty now

"Yeah you bloody sociopath!" Loki retorted, before grunting in annoyance, pulling on his face. "This is gunna be my weekend, isn't it?" Then he tapped the air behind him, a rift bubbling from the reality around the air

"So...not gunna tell me more?" I asked, being genuinely curious about who 'Blaze' is?

"Nope." He shot quickly, before adding. "Like I've boasted before, i've lived for like...a long time, so expect me to meet people who I hate bringing up, good? Good. Now go do me a solid and head to this location." He then handed me a scrap piece a paper

"Oh, and take this, trust me, it will make sense when you use it." Next came a box, which landed safely in my hands, then he walked through the rift, before tipping his hat, along with my sense of gravity, as I felt the entire planet turn with his hat, before vanishing within the portal

"Well...today was productive, and awkward." I spoke to no one in particular, before I opened the scrap piece of paper. At first, I just read off a bunch of location details, but then a small smile grew into a large, twisted grin, my eyes blazing with fury at the name, but as I did, I watched as an aura of blue completely covered my body, before I watched the chips of blue shatter, revealing a new, royal blue glow to my body's eyes

I felt my eyes turn a new shade of royal-blue too, along with my hair standing up straight again, as I watched for a mere millisecond as red flashed along my hair, before staying on a new, blue aura of power.

"Super Sayian Royal Blue? Something's different, Super Sayian God flash for a moment....ok, now i'm interested." I was nearly the form of a God now, this certainly wasn't planned, neither was most of what's happened, but fuck it. So I turned on my heel, staring towards the vast forest ahead of me, or what was left, as the forest now burned with blue flames

Then I grinned sickeningly, like some deranged animal. This was near the power of a God, how the hell could these mutts possibly compare to me? They want nothing more than to please their God, right me? Well then....

"How's about I give these Caribou a God?" I say as I summon hundreds of super sayian blue shadow clones covered in Susanoo.

To Be Continued...
