"Wow this is so cool!, Firestar said over the phone, she was watching over Flash swing through the city of Tokyo "Oh Man I've seen videos of Tokyo in a perspective like this but seeing it real time is way more cooler!"

Spider-Man chuckled a little, "Yeah it's kinda cool, so uh when's the next turn?"

"Keep swinging for a while", Firestar was acting as a GPS for Spider-Man, "Okay, and turn right!", Spider-Man shot a strand of web and leaned to the right changing his direction

Spider-Man landed in an alleyway much to his confusion, "Uhhh, Where am I?", Spider-Man asked

"Yeah the school is located near an alleyway, he you see those railings?", Spider-Man looked to his right and nodded, "Yeah there should be some stairs and a door, it should be unlocked, if so find a place to take off your Spider-Man costume, call me after you're done

"Alright, Spidey Out!", Spider-Man took off the Camera and ended the call, luckily Spider-Man carried a spare black shirt in his jacket pocket

Flash took off his mask, put the shirt on and found a pair of dirty Vans which he wore, they were a bit big but they would do, "Note to self, bring a bag next time"

Flash walked down the few steps of stairs and opened the doors to the establishment, there was a waiting area but no intern of any sort ,Wow I am getting some major Doctor Whooves vibes here, Flash continued to walk by when he heard a group of people making "ha" sounds, "Hmm?, looks like class is in session"

Flash walked inside and saw a man at the front of the class, he was relatively old yet he looked in great shape, he had no hair but he did have a long white beard that pointed down to his chest, this was "The Master", Flash looked and saw a bunch of students male and female practicing what he guessed were martial art drills

"Wow, this is way more cooler than what they show on Television", Flash muttered to himself in amazement

The Master must've saw Flash because he stopped the drills, "セッションは終了しました(The Session is over)", He said in his native language

Everybody bowed at The Master and they all walked off to the exit, Flash realized he was standing right in front of the exit and he stepped aside for a minute

A lot of the student's looked at Flash with either a warm smile, disgust or a normal expression, to his surprise a few girls were even eyeing him with admiration and quite possible lust, something he wasn't all that used to in Canterlot, so he just nervously smiled and waived

"You!", Flash turned his head to hear see The Master looking down upon him, Flash was only 6 foot as the man was as tall as his Principal from high school, standing at 6'3, "Why have you come to my school hm?", The man asked with a stern tone in his voice, and a slight accent

Flash cleared his voice and search for words, "Uh Hi!, I'm Flash Sentry", Flash introduced himself nervously, "I uh came here to learn the ways of Marital Arts?", Flash cracked under pressure and said the statement in a questionable tone

The Master looked at Flash with a quizzical look, almost as if he had seen him once before, "Hmm, Sentry you say", The man stroked his smooth strains of white beard until it hit him like an asteroid hitting earth, Sentry was a name of another male student he had, "Come with me", The master gestured his hand to follow him and Flash did

They walked around the dojo until they stopped at a Glass cabinet, The Master opened the sliding door and grabbed a framed picture, "I remember a Sentry once!"

Flash looked at the picture and it gave him goose bumps, In it were a younger version of his Aunt's, his Mom, and Man with Orangish Brown Spiky hair that bared a resemblance to Flash when he was 16 years old, it was his Father in his younger years, before he dyed his hair dark blue to match with his family, but that wasn't all, in his mother's arms was a baby boy with a leaf shaped patch of blue hair, it was Flash when he was a 3 week old baby, I don't recall this, but I'm pretty sure Dad used to talk about learning Karate

"Ah the man he was!", The Master said

**Flashback Sequence**

Italic (Narration by characters)

"You and your family came to me 18 years ago, your father was a kind man, though he was a bit silly"

Flash's Aunts and Flash's Parents, Lucas Armstrong Sentry and Sabrina Thunderstorm Sentry opened the door to the dojo, in Sabrina's arms was a baby boy, asleep and swaddled in a blanket

The Master turned around and smiled, "Ahh! Spark, one of my favorite students, what brings you here?", Spark and smiled and then turned to Sabrina who handed the baby boy to her

"Two reasons", Spark said, "First and for most, I would like to introduce you to the newest addition to The Sentry Family Tree, Flash Sentry, our nephew, and their son", Spark pointed at Flash's parents and then handed the baby to The Master

The Master looked at the baby with a warm smile, the baby had awoken, his cyan blue eyes looked at the man with a blank and somewhat confused, if the baby could form words or thoughts for that matter he would probably say, My Dad looked younger 15 minutes ago what happened?

"So I assume the second reason is so I can watch after boy?", The Master asked

"Actually the second reason is because my brother in-law want's to learn Karate", Thunderstar said

"At the time, you're Aunts were both your age while your parents were in their early 20's"

The Master looked at Flash's father stroking his chin while Flash's Dad had a very enthusiastic smile, The Master finally spoke, "So? what makes you want to learn the art of Karate?"

Lucas just shrugged with a care free expression, "I've always been interested in Karate, I've seen Movies, Tv Shows and some real life competitions when Spark was in high school"

The Master was skeptical of training such a student, but at the same time Spark was almost a daughter to him so he accepted the task of training him

**End Of Sequence**

Flash had no idea that he was in Tokyo in 2001, not to mention the fact that he had just recently heard about this guy and during the last trip that he could remember, there was no mention of some martial arts teacher named "The Master", his parents never really mentioned it to him at all,Wait?, wasn't 2001 the year where my uncle I never met died in a car crash? Yeah now I remember, but that how does that excuse them from not telling me something like this?, the story only left him bewildered,"So did he ever fully complete his training?", Flash asked

The Master shook his head, "He dropped out after Day 5, he had told me he needed to leave and go back to his home country"

Flash nodded a little not knowing that about his dad, I mean usually when he was doing something he would finish it

"So how is he doing?", The Master asked, "I have not seen the man in almost 20 years, Ha Ha!", The Master laughed a little

Oh wow I am really gonna defloat this guy's happiness, Flash sighed and spoke a bit quietly, "Um, well see, he uh, he uh passed away a few months ago", Flash took a deep breath through his teeth, Awkward

The Master put his head down and let out a deep sigh, "Forgive me, I am very sorry to hear that", a few seconds of silence went by before The Master spoke again, "So what type of Martial Arts would you want to learn?"

Flash widened his eyes and then stroked his chin, "I don't really know, oh, how about Tae Kwon Do!", Flash had to think fast but he did have good reason, I'm not much of a genius when it comes to Martial Arts, but it might compliment my powers, well I think

The Master stroked his beard in suspicion, "Too quick of a choice you have made, are you sure?", Flash nodded his head immediately after The Master spoke

"Alright", The Master said, "Your training begins now!"

"Oh Sweet!", Flash exclaimed, "So what's the first lesson? Aerodynamic Kicks and Punches, Tosses, Flips in the air?", Flash was excited but at the same wanted to keep the Spider-Man identity under the rug so he had to say things that he already knew

The Master smirked a little, Flash was no different than his father or even his Aunt Spark for that matter, "Your first lesson, will be patience!"

Flash looked confused, "Patience?", The Master nodded before walking off leaving Flash even more bewildered, "Hey where are you going?"

"To Sleep", The Master said, "See you tomorrow", Flash jaw hung out opened in shock, WHAT!? You're telling me this is my first lesson, lame!

Flash rolled his eyes and headed out of the Dojo, he got out Firestar's extra phone and dialed her up, "It's ringing"

Firestar answered, "Well I assume you finished your first day, how was class?", she asked

Flash let out a sigh, "Well I didn't learn anything new at all, he just told me that my first lesson was being pa--

"Patient yeah I know! Uh quick note my moms are still watching their movie or whatever, but dinner's gonna be ready in 15 minutes so you better Hurry!" , Flash hung up on the phone afterwards

Flash took off those disgusting shoes and threw them on top of a phone line, Aw man if Electro was here he'd be pisssssed, Flash took his mask out and put it on, this time however he didn't put on the camera as he wanted a bit of alone time to think

Spider-Man backed up a little and ran to gain some momentum, when he got just the right momentum he shot a strand of web and swung across the city to get home

What Spider-Man didn't know was behind the window The Master had just witnessed his new student demonstrate his powers right in front of him, The Master sighed however, not in impressment, not in disappointment, not even in skepticism, he just sighed and needed to be in deep thought for a while

*****

Spider-Man swung through the window of his Aunt's home and took off his mask as soon as possible, luckily no one else was in his room so he shut the door and changed into some clean clothes, A White Air Jordan Shirt, Black Jeans and for some odd reason Acrylic Socks and walked to Firestar's room

"So!", Firestar turned her chair to face Flash

"So"

"What Martial Art Style did you choose?", Firestar asked

"Tae Kwon Doe!", Flash replied

"Ooo that's a hard one, are you sure?", Firestar asked

"Look there all hard, uh that's probably what she said by the way, but it'll be fine, I have the patience to learn Martial Arts", Flash gestured his hand as if it were a no brainer question

"Okay, well you did sound pretty pissed about having to learn patience over the phone", Firestar chuckled

Flash smirked, "Touché"

"KIDS!", Thunderstar shouted from the Livingroom, "DINNER!"

Firestar grinned. "Oh man I can't wait and see what abomination My Mom made in the kitchen"

**Day 1**

It was the early hours of the morning 5 am to be exact, Flash decided to sleep in his Spider-Man costume the night before but also pack some extra clothes and take his duffle bag and this time he brought his shoes with him

"Alright, I should be back by 7-8", Flash said to himself, he put on his mask and swung off to go see The Master in his Dojo

*****

Spider-Man landed and took off his mask off and panted for a quick minute, "Okay that is the last time I'm gonna go ham on web slinging in the early hours in the morning!"

Flash ran behind a dumpster to take off his Spider-Man costume and put on a Green Long sleeve Shirt and Black sweatpants stuffing the costume in his bag, after he did so he headed for the Dojo's entrance

Flash walked inside, when he opened the doors to the Dojo he saw The Master watering the plants, "Master!", Flash greeted

The Master turned around and was a bit surprised, "I must admit, I am a little surprised you came back", Flash shrugged feeling a bit cocky, "But at this time of day? Hasty to learn are you?", The Master asked Flash

"Well the early bird gets the worm", Flash said with a care free tone

"Hmm, alright let the training begin, come with me!", The Master motioned Flash to follow him, they went in the middle of the room"

The Master began to explain what Tae Kwon Doe was to Flash so he could better understand what he was in for, "Tae Kwon Doe is an art of Self Defense which relies heavily on Kicks Punches and Blocks, but it will also teach you many open handed strikes, take down throws and joint locks"

Usually People would be bored by introductions but Flash was an eager learner so he took in as much information as he possibly could

"Over time in this class I will show you forms and techniques of Tae Kwon Doe and teach you as much as possible", Flash nodded

"So Than Are you ready!", The Master asked Flash

"Yes!", Flash said nodding his head

"Okay than I must star off with the basics", The Master said, "I must teach you the most basic thing, blocking!", Flash kind of chuckled, How hard could this be? I block people all the time, but I do hate forearm blocks though, they are the worst

"Okay what do I do?", Flash chuckled even more

The Master however was serious and showed Flash what he needs to do, "You must put your legs in an L stance, put your Right leg behind your left leg and put your left forearm out while keeping your whole right arm in", Wow that was kind of a mouthful, but you're the boss

Flash had a bit of skepticism but he was able to put himself in a L stance and he put his left forearm out, I don't why he wanted me to use my less dominant hand?

"Okay you must keep blocking me with you left forearm, also take note in this session I shall also teach you counter strikes as well but pay attention", Flash kept his care free attitude, To Flash's surprise however he saw The Master took a few step backs, "BEGIN!", He roared

The Master ran a few inches towards Flash before spin jumping putting his leg out and attempting a spin jump, Flash immediately got serious and stood his ground

When the kick hit Flash's arm he gritted his teeth in pain as he still was not good with forearm blocks, and now he was doing it with his left arm, Okay I take back everything this is gonna be a lot harder than I thought

The Master landed and then leapt high in the air of the Dojo, "Where'd he go?", Flash asked bewildered, he couldn't move or else he'd have to restart

"TURN!", Flash tried to think fast and he turned to the left, "Okay I think I got th--", Flash's Spider-Senses went off and he realized he was to actually turn to the right instead of the left

Unfourtanetley Flash was met with a kick at the back of his head making him get out of stance and grab the back oh his head rubbing it

"YOOAAWWWW", Flash screamed in pain, "WHAT IS THAT FOOT MADE OF? IT FEEL LIKES A CLOG?"

"Do not underestimate Tae Kwon Doe, it can even develop your strength, speed, and flexibility", Flash still gritting his teeth with a stinging pain at back of his head eventually got up

"OKAY WE SHALL TRY AGAIN", Flash got back into stance and they started their training again much to Flash's skepticism of what he got himself into

Half an hour past and Flash had picked up the Tae Kwan Doe fighting form of Chon-Ji quite quickly much to The Master's impressment

"TURN!", Flash turned to the left and blocked The Masters Punch, "COUNTER!", Flash put his left forearm and punched with his right fist though being blocked by The Master

Flash and The Master both panted, they had been going for a while, "I must admit, I am impressed, most of my students don't pick up a form of Martial Arts as quick as you have", The Master handed him his white belt a symbol for a beginner

Flash bowed to The Master and took the belt much to The Master's impressment, "So what's next?", Flash asked as he put it on

"Do not worry about that now", he said, "I will see you again at 8:00 Tonight, do not be late", Flash waived The Master goodbye and left the Dojo

Flash had return to The Dojo without the Spider-Man Costume or web slinging, instead he took a bus and with Firestar supervising the area and talking to him, "So you already made some progress in Tae Kwon Doe! That's great!"

"Uh Firestar I'm already here I gotta go!", Flash hung up on the phone and entered the Dojo

When he walked inside he saw a class about to begin before The Master glanced at Flash and smiled, "クラス (Class!)", The Master got the classes attention and then he pointed to Flash standing at the doorway, the class all stared at him, "これはフラッシュセントリーです (This is Flash Sentry)"

Flash had no idea on what The Master had just said so he nervously waived his hand at everyone, "Uh Hi?!"

"フラッシュはアメリカから来る新しい学生です (Flash is a new student who comes from America)", Flash only heard the words America in that whole sentence and his name pronounced Furashuu so it left him wondering what exactly the Master was saying, meanwhile at the same time everyone was talking to one and another about Flash, some even laughing at his White Belt, most others in the class had blue belts and up, signifying that they were way more better at Martial Arts than Flash was

"Flash step forward!", The Master motioned Flash to come and stand beside him, "フラッシュセントリーはテコンドーを学ぶためにこの道場に来ました、彼は武道形式で彼の最初のレッスンを過ぎたようですので、今夜は別の武道の経験豊かな学生とフラッシュを組み合わせたいです (Flash Sentry has come to this Dojo to learn Taekwondo, he has seemingly past his fist lesson in the Martial Art Form, so tonight I want to pair Flash with an experienced student of a different Martial Art)"

One of the male students raised their hands up, he was notably younger than Flash being aged 15, he had jet black hair that was curled up, he wore a black ghee and black belt

"春樹、フラッシュと対戦しませんか？(Haruki, would you like to go up against Flash?)", The boy nodded his head

The Master went to Flash, "Okay this is Haruki, he is one of my most skilled students, he is the definition of hard working, but he can be stuck up but he is one of the best students in Kung Fu and though he is stuck up he does help other students with their drills"

Both Flash and Haruki stepped into the small fighting ring, Flash went to go shake Haruki's hand, "Hi I'm Flash Sentr--", Haruki bowed to Flash as a greeting so Flash did the same and walked back to his corner of the small ring, "Huh!? I guess that's how you introduce yourself"

The Master stood between them, "さて、ルールを知っています、リンクから落ちる最初のルールは負け、誰にも怪我をする可能性のある汚いショットはありません、そして最も重要なことは、負けた場合、これを学習体験として使用してください (Okay you know the rules, the first one to fall out of the rink loses, no dirty shots that could injure anyone, and most importantly if you do lose, use this as a learning experience)", The Master then turned to Flash, "If you fall out the ring you lose, no cheap shots or shots that could injure someone and try to use this as a learning experience"

Haruki stood with his feet wider than his shoulder width and made them parallel, he then bent his knees and then he took hi left arm raising it and making his hand point at Flash while he put his right up also pointing at Flash, he was standing in the horse stance, a stance used in Shaolin Kung Fu

Flash gulped, he wasn't afraid of Haruki, he was afraid of himself, he had to keep his Super Strength in check or else if he did something careless, it could be lights out for Haruki

Flash took a deep breath hoping for the best, he put his 2 legs an L Stance and put bent his knees and put his left forearm up and put his right hand into a fist

"3つのカウントで、2つはお互いに行き、リングからお互いをノックしようとします (On the count 3 you two will go at each other and try to knock and each other out of the ring)"

Flash and Haruki both looked at each other glaring, "スリーツーワンゴー! (Three, Two, One GO!)"

Flash looked confused to what the Master had just said but luckily his Spider-Sense went off and he saw Haruki about to kick him, Flash blocked the attempt with his left forearm something that he now got used to thanks to The Master, Flash then counter attacked using his right fist to try to punch Haruki

Haruki cupped Flash's Fist blocking his punch attempt and then he striked Flash's forehead with his hand, a Knifehand strike, "GAH!", Flash clutched his forehead with one hand, Who knew a hand strike could sting!?, Flash shook his head

Flash got back into stance and decided to let Haruki attack, both looked at each other intently and intensely, Haruki sprinted at Flash, Flash still stayed in place however waiting, Haruki even felt confused but had no time to stop and think, Haruki did a cartwheel and was about to attempt a spin kick

But before Haruki could attempt his aerodynamic attack Flash leapt over him making sure not to jump to high but high enough to get close to him and impressing the class, Flash tapped Haruki's shoulder, Haruki turned around and was met with a punch to the cheek by Flash and then to even The Master's surprise, Flash high kicked Haruki under his chin, knocking him back

Haruki stumbled a bit and eventually fell out of the ring, The Master was impressed, he had only ever had one other student who had just as much potential as Flash but even so Flash seemed to be an interesting student to say the least

A lot of the students were having conversations about what they had just witnessed most of them being in shock and disbelief, The conversations lasted until The Master got everyone to quiet down "落ち着く ！(Settle Down!)"

Haruki got back up onto the ring, but he wasn't mad that he lost, he was actually impressed with Flash for taking him down and The Master quickly noticed, "いい仕事をしてくれました。 あなたは潜在能力のある学生のようですが、一部の分野ではまだ少しずさんです。 (Good Job You have beaten me. You seem to be a student with potential but you still are sloppy in some areas.), Haruki gave Flash tough love and gave out his hand to shake

The Master approached Flash, "He has said to you that you can be a remarkable student, but you still need to be trained", Flash turned to Haruki and shook his hand

"Thank you! I have to admit you aren't so shabby yourself!"

The Master translated everything Flash had just said to Haruki , "彼はあなたの言葉に感謝し、カンフーのスキルが印象的だと言います。(He says that he is very thankful for your words and that your skill in Kung Fu is impressive", Haruki smirked at The Master and Flash

The Master turned to the students and spoke sternly, "授業はもうすぐ始まります (Class will begin soon)", He then turned to Flash, "Come with me, there is much we have to talk about", Flash looked confused and followed the Master to the entrance of the Dojo

"What's wrong Master?", Flash asked

The Master cleared his voice and spoke to Flash, "You have done well Flash, really, really well for a beginner", he put his hand on Flash's shoulder, "But I don't want you to create an ego out of it!"

Flash looked confused, "Why is that?"

The Master looked to the full moon, "I have a story to tell", he said, "A story of a student I once had similar to you, not your father, not your Aunt or even your older cousin, this story is of a student who went from being one of my best students to one of the most corrupted I have ever had"

"He was a boy just as you are and he came to me along with his sister with the intent of learning all the Martial Arts forms or how ever many I could teach him, The Boy and The Girl both excelled in their training, one mastering the art of Aikido and one mastering more than one, though his preferred style of fighting was Muay Tai, a very effective style of Martial Arts"

"What happened to the boy?", Flash asked

"The Boy was corrupted by a venom of a snake who had bit him, after the boy was bit he never was the same, his tendencies became either better or worst, he became more arrogant, more cocky, more temperamental, he was becoming a nuisance for the school so I had to expel him from the Dojo, though days after he had left his sister had told me the boy had tragically died"

Flash put his hand over his mouth, he was thinking about what he had just been told, he couldn't think of anything to say, he was speechless

"My point is be more mindful of what you do, or you could end up like that student", I guess this he sees much of this student in me

"I will think about it Master, but I must head off now!", Flash was about head off before The Master gave him something

"Before you go, you can get rid of your white belt", Flash turned around to see The Master holding a yellow belt, "It symbolizes a new found strength in the student", he handed Flash the belt as well as a training ghee

Flash bowed his head in gratitude, "Thank You", Flash headed out the Dojo and made sure the coast was clear, he had to swing to his Aunt's home knowing the traffic around this time, Flash hid behind the same garbage bin from before and took out his Spider-Man costume

**Day 2**

It was around 5:00 Am when Flash arrived at The Dojo, he wore the ghee he had been given and walked inside to see The Master sitting on a big pillow meditating

"Return you have I see!" The Master said while still meditating

"How can you see me? Your eyes are closed", Flash chuckled a little

"Ah! There is more than one way to see a person besides vision", The Master informed Flash, "I can hear you, I can smell you I could even feel you without even touching you", Flash felt a bit weirded out by the last part of that statement but brushed it off

"Alright then, uhh so can we start?", Flash asked still sounding a bit hasty to The Master

"Still hasty I see, why don't you try meditation, it might help your tendency for being impatient", Flash felt a bit offended but he's never actually meditated before so it couldn't hurt to try, but then again Flash was a bit more interested in the lesson

"Yeah I guess I'll try it at some point! So Uh The Lesson!", The Master sighed a little but hoped for the best

"Okay Then!", His tone was more stern than calm, "Than it is time I taught you the second form of the 9 belt training of Tae Kwon Doe, Dan-Gun", Flash listened to The Master intently, "Dan-Gun still focuses on your hands but it teaches you new tools like a Knifehand Strike, new blocks and more useful tools

"ALRIGHT!", Flash exclaimed, Well he is his father's son there's no doubt in that, The Master thought to himself

"Okay let's begin!", The Master and Flash walked towards a punching bag, "Okay you must focus very carefully"

The Master got into a ready stance and then put then got into a knife hand guarding block stance, "The first few steps in Dan-Gun is getting into a ready stance, than you get into an L stance and instead of a forearm block you do a knife hand block, than..", The Master high punched the punching bag and then turned 180 degrees, "The Follow through", The Master stood out of the way motioning Flash to try it out, "Well go on"

Flash walked up to the punching bag and attempted to emulate everything he had just saw, he got into an L-Stance and raised his right hand and formed a knife hand and put his left hand into a fist, he punched the punching bag but wasn't careful with his strength and he punched through it

"Uh Whoops?", Flash said trying to sound contempt, but in reality he was worried and wide eyed, OH MY GOD! THE HELL DID I JUST DO?! I REALLY NEED TO CONTROL MY STRENGTH, "Uh!? I am so sorry!", Flash tried apologizing thinking that was the right course of action

The Master however wasn't angered or shocked for that matter, instead he was interested, interested in Spider-Man's strength because in reality he was training Spider-Man, "Do not apologize, that punching bag was most likely defective", The Master reassured Flash, "Besides we probably wont need it anyways"

The Master went back into stance as if nothing had happen, "Now back to the lesson", The Master did the three steps he already showed Flash and then he turned 180 degrees and did the same steps then after his high punch he turned 90 degrees doing three high punches and then turning 90 degrees to the right, he then got into a Twin Outer forearm block and then he did a high punch and finally turned 180 degrees

Flash widened his eyes, The Master had did all of that all in one sequence without breaking a sweat, "So in addition to the first three steps, you want me to do three high punches, a new way to block with my forearm and a final high punch?", Flash asked

The Master nodded his head, Flash let out a sigh, "Alright let's do this", Flash took a deep breath and attempted to do all of what he had been showed, Flash did the first three steps just fine but he was stopped by The Master after he turned 181 degrees instead of 180 degrees

"STOP!", The Master screamed startling Flash

"What?!", Flash said hastily and a bit scared

"You turned one degree more than you should have!"

Flash looked at The Master very cluelessly, "You yelled at me because I made a lousy overturn?", Flash asked bluntly

"Be mindful of your attitude Flash!", The Master said, "Know, AGAIN!", Flash grumbled a little and got back into position

*****

Flash had been practicing that same sequence for one hour, this was the first time Flash had been struggling with something in Tae Kwon Doe or hand to hand combat in general, he was either over turning, under turning, missing a step or two or even doing more steps than necessary, by the time he mastered it his ghee was soaked with sweat and he was super exhausted

Flash panted, "Alright, is that the lesson for today?"

"Actually there is one more part to that whole thing", The Master took a deep breath, "So after that 180 degree from performing a high punch you then you get back into an Twin outer forearm block, followed by a series of high blocks, then after your final high block you turn 90 degrees to the left and perform an outer knife hand strike followed by a high punch an finally you turn 180 degrees and also perform an outer knife hand strike followed by a high punch", The Master performed everything that he just told Flash whom he left even more shocked and wide-eyed, Ah Man, I'm gonna keel over at this rate

Flash practiced that final sequence of attacks and blocks, he was being very mindful of his actions making sure he didn't over do or under do any major turns or steps and surprisingly he actually managed to do that final sequence

"ALRIGHT I DID IT!", Flash exclaimed in excitement feeling super accomplished

"Well done!", The Master said, "Know you must recite everything I have taught you today until you've completely perfected the form of Dan-Gun!"

Flash exhaled sharply and slumped his shoulders, "Aww Man come on!"

"There is no room to gloat in Martial Arts training, this is the path you have chosen, though you are allowed to quit at any time", Flash not wanting to quit just sucked it up and began that whole sequence of attacks from the top until he could perfect the second form

*****

Flash had stumbled onto the ground super tired panting, Jeez even with my powers I guess I don't have super endurance!, Flash had spent another hour just practicing the whole sequence until he felt he had mastered it and also until he basically collapsed onto the ground, in a pool of sweat

Flash did make a few mistakes during that hour but with the help from The Master he had finally kept a consistent follow through and finally mastered the from of Dan-Gun

"Very Good Flash!", The Master said holding an orange belt, "I think you have earned this!", Flash looked up and saw the Master holding the belt

"Wow....Thanks.....Master", Flash said between his inhales and exhales

"You look exhausted, go home and come back tomorrow at around 9:00 at night", Wow that's the first time he's actually told me to come later than most students

Flash got up off of the ground and was handed the orange belt, the belt that represents the sun, a sun growing in power, "Thank you!", Flash bowed to The Master and walked out of the Dojo feeling more accomplished bur super tired

**Day 3**

Flash had gone 2 days without being caught by anyone in his Aunt's house for sneaking out, anyway it was around 8:46 at night and Flash was getting ready to go see The Master but he was in a conversation with Firestar

"So you've already achieved 2 belts in 2 days, dude that's incredible!", Firestar complimented Flash's growing skill in Tae Kwon Doe,

Flash let out a sigh, "Yeah I.....", He trailed off with his sentence not knowing what he could say

"What's wrong?", Firestar asked, "I thought you said you were eager to learn Martial Arts and take down Serpent!, Remember?"

Flash nodded his head, "Yeah I did, but I'm just thinking about what's next to come, I mean my training yesterday completely sapped all my energy so I'm not so sure that tonight is gonna be a bed of roses"

"Well this wasn't gonna be an easy task Flash!", Firestar reminded him

"I guess I'm just being skeptical!", Flash claimed, he looked at his phone and the time, "Well I better head out!", He put on his Spider-Man mask and jumped out the window

Spider-Man shot strands of webs which wrapped around some tree trunks, helping him swing through the neighborhood, while swinging through the air he took out Firestar's extra phone and dialed her number, when she picked up he was able to listen through the earpiece

"So what? Are you gonna give up on Martial Arts?, Firestar asked further continuing their conversation

"Look", Spider-Man's spider sense went off and he turned his gaze to see that he was about to face first into a wall, "Oh hold on!"

Spider-Man angled himself to go into a different direction dogging the wall and continued his web slinging, "Oh uh where was I, oh yeah. Look I kinda just, okay maybe not kinda but I may have underestimated the intensity of learning martial arts under The Master watchful eye and thought it would be easy"

"WHAT!?", Firestar asked feeling perplexed, "You know there is a reason why they call him The Master, even when you write his name you have to capitalize the 'THE' in his name, dude is respected for his teachings why would you think it'd be easy?"

Spider-Man quickly fired back, "Look in my defense when you have super powers you tend to forget your human sometimes"

"I don't see what that has to do with anything"

"Trust me, if you had super powers you would get it"

"Um-Okay! Uh I have to go take a shower now so uh, your on your own, and remember, this stuff is not easy", she hung up on the phone

Spider-Man continued to swing through the air until he arrived at the Dojo in the nearby alleyway, Spider-Man sighed, "Alright this time I'm gonna be more attentive, or so I hope."

Spider-Man let go of his web line and landed behind a dumpster, Spider-Man took off his mask and started to change into his training ghee

*****

There was no one in the Dojo except The Master, "Must be a break day or somethin?", Flash approached The Master who was in meditation

"Master", Flash stood in front of The Master who broke his meditation

"Sentry", The Master slowly got up, "Okay let us begin", This caught Flash by surprise, The Master would always tell him something wise or question Flash's tendencies but today he seemed quick to get the lesson started

"Master you seem hasty to begin", Flash pointed out

The Master smirked, "I think your tendencies have grown on me!", The Master replied making Flash chuckle, "I have a cold today, I have not been myself, mentally that is! But still we must being our lesson, this is the next form of Tae Kwon Doe, Do-San"

Both The Master and Flash sat cross legged, "Do-San will teach you new tools such as front kicks and wedging blocks", The Master got up and Flash who was still sitting down watched The Master attentively , making sure that this time he wouldn't mess up

The Master got into a ready stance, he performed a high block and then a normal punch before turning 180 degrees, he did the same but after his other punch he made a 90 degree turn and did a knife hand guard block, "Pay Attention to this next part"

Flash looked at The Master intently, "This is a 3 step action all in one", The Master was still in his knife hand block stance but he changes his hand from a knife hand to a spear hand, then he did a spear hand strike before pivoting". That is a supported spear hand release and pivot

The Master finished the sequence, with a 2 high backfists, a 90 degree turn, another high block followed by a punch, another 90 degree turn, a few more blocks including wedging block and finally The Master performed a front kick, something Flash had been anticipating to see, The Master continued with a right left double punch, another wedging block followed by the same front kick and double punch, 2 more high blocks and an outward knife hand strike slid to the right ending the sequence with a final outward knife hand strike

Before The Master could speak Flash had gotten up and emulated everything The Master had just shown him flawlessly, making no mistake whatsoever much to The Master's shock

"So something like that?", Flash asked smugly

The Master chuckled a little, "Very impressive, perhaps you would like to demonstrate in battle?", The Master asked testing Flash

Flash smirked, "I would like to, but this is a self defense art, I don't believe it would be wise to got at someone with no real purpose"

The Master stroked his chin and tilted his gaze a little, "Very good!"

Days had gone by and with that Flash's prowess of Tae Kwon Doe had grown, each day he had gotten better and better, every time he found bump in the road he was able to leap over it and over come it, he had mastered the remaining 6 forms of Tae Kwon Doe achieving the Black belt along with that The Master had taught Flash a few more forms from other belt trainings of Tae Kwon Doe

The Master and Flash bowed to each other one final time, "It has been a pleasure to work with a student who is as skilled as you, but even so, I find my self...troubled"

"Why so?", Flash asked as the two walked around the dojo discussing

"The tools I have demonstrated to you, the powerful tools that you now have in your arsenal, if they are abused and used for sinister things, I feel I bear part of the responsibility"

Flash stopped walking to face the Master with a reassuring look on his face, "That's you are wrong", Flash said, "Even though my dad was a goofball back then and well still kinda was before his death he had told me many words of wisdom that I still look to for whenever I feel stressed"

The Master stopped and put his hands behind his back grasping them while listening to Flash

"My dad had once told me with Great Power comes Great Responsibility", Flash said reminiscing, "I had never actually understood what he meant by that, most of the times those words left me bewildered", Flash paused and took a deep breath, "But I guess it means whatever powerful thing you have, you are responsible for your actions you do with it"

The Master smirked finally feeling at peace, "So the student has become the teacher...", The Master trailed off, he knew what Flash was gonna do with his new skills, he knew that the whole reason he wanted to learn Tae Kwon Doe was to face off against the Gold Serpent, The Master opened his mouth slightly to take a breath before continuing the story he had once told him, "Come with me, there is something I must tell you"

The walked up to the same glass cabinet that Flash had laid his eyes upon the picture with his parents and relatives at a younger age, "Why are we here master?"

The Master opened the small door of the cabinet and took out a picture of two kids, one was a girl and was a boy both whom looked like twins, "Wait?", Flash got a good look at the girl, No that can't be!, The girl had the same hair color that Aunt Spark had and before Flash could say anything The Master spoke up

"This is a picture of your Aunt and his brother a long time ago", Flash looked at his well I guess what he now had to consider, his Uncle Flamewalker

"Why are you showing me this?", Flash asked now seeking for answers

"In the story I told you I referred to a brother and sister, those two were the siblings I was referring to", Flash eyes had widened, "I also had never finished the last part of the story"

Flash arched an eyebrow, "Last Part?"

**Flashback Sequence**

The Master sighed, "About a few years back which was also roughly 6 years after your Uncle's 'death' your Aunt Spark had approached me one day with a saddened look on her face look on her face", The Master said, "She had proclaimed to me that

"What is it?", The Master asked almost startled by Spark

"Master it's-it's, It's about Flare", The Master gave Spark an intense look not expecting to hear about his former student

"What about him?", The Master asked

"He-He's turned to a life of crime", Spark said tears slowly swelling out of her eyes, "He's going by the name The Gold Serpent"

The Master started stroking his beard feeling troubled with the urgent news

**End of Sequence

Flash had interrupted the story, he had heard enough, "He's The Serpent! That's what she told you", Flash asked urgently not even trying to keep his composure, "But you, her, my parents everyone, they told me that, well he died!", Flash pointed out

"Like I told you before when he was intoxicated by that snake venom he was never the same, so when he became an underworld criminal and went by the alias Gold Serpent, the man who was Flare Flamewalker died along with the venom that intoxicated"

Flash was ripped apart, the person who he needed to stop was someone who was related to him, to add on to that his Aunt lied to everyone, unless more people knew and cease to tell anyone

Flash turned to The Master, "Why are you telling me this?", he asked

The Master was at a crossroad, lie to Flash and tell him it's supposed to be a learning experience, or tell him the truth, that he knows that Flash had been Spider-Man all along, but he decided to take the safer route, "I believe you deserve to know your family's history, it's people and what they've done in their life time"

Flash was sweating and had a troubled look on his face, he bowed to The Master not knowing what elese to do, "Good Night Master, I am grateful for what you have taught me", Flash walked out of the building quickly as if something urgent had come up, well in retrospect that was the case, but Flash had no idea what to do or what to say

"The only question that lies is, what will you do now... Spider-Man"

Author's Note

So this chapter kinda the same to Flash's Festival Fiasco

Other than that I wanted to create a character that had some connection to Flash but not to deep of one, so I thought of possible stories in my head of maybe The Master meeting Flash's family at one point, So in this canon I wanted to establish another ongoing father daughterish relationship so I thought of Spark and The Master

Other than that one weird thing I made was the actual name of Flash's Dad, I don't remember actually giving him one so throughout the story I've been adressing him as either "Flash's Dad, or Flash's Father"

Now Finally the big elephant in the room, The Gold Serpent actually being Flash's uncle, this was on accident 😅, That was not actaully intedended for Serpent's character, while I was in class I had some free time to think about what I wanted to do for the story, and for some odd reason the first thing that came up was, Hey woudln't be neat if Serpent and Flash were somehow related, and the idea wouldn't leave my head so I kinda rolled with it and here we are
