Lore

As Sjikonji drew his everchanging stick for the last time, he readied himself for anything. As his opponent finished his drink, he cut it up, pointing at Sjikonji immediately after.

"That'll be you right after this duel, you moron." his opponent grinned.

"Why, I am prepared for anything, young one." Sjikonji replied as he tightened his hold on his necklace. His opponent laughed at his words.

"Huh, maybe you could bore me to death with your speeches, old man." His opponent grew serious, poising his blade. As did Sjikonji with his stick.

"What do you want to be killed with? A sword, a club, or an axe?" Sjikonji said as his stick began to warp.

"How 'bout an axe, I'd like to see if you can even hold it upright." As the young oppressor said those words, Sjikonji stabbed a small hole into a tattoo depicting an axe. He fingered at the blood, gathering some to smear on his stick. As he did so, the previously harmless wooden object became a hulking two-hand metal axe.

"So it begins." Sjikonji growled.

The two opponents sprinted to the center of the battlefield, clashing their blades. Sjikonji slid his giant axe down the side of his opponent's longsword, hooking it in the crevice. He swung his axe overhead, taking the sword, along with his enemy, down with it. He readied his axe for an attack as his dizzied duelist gathered himself, and his sword. He charged at Sjikonji with all the force he could muster, as he skimmed the blade over the front of Sjikonji's chest, causing a small wound to appear.

"Hah! Is that the best you've got? I thought a swordsman with wind techniques would have at least injured me severely already." Sjikonji laughed.

"What? You little-" the swordsman yelled as he charged once more, the wind infused with his blade. When he neared Sjikonji, he stopped, sweeping his blade. Sjikonji was knocked back by the force of the impact. He slammed against a pillar, snapping it in half.

"That's what I hoped for! Hah!" Sjikonji smiled as he wiped blood off his lips. He got up, facing a charging, crazed man. He applied more blood to his weapon, causing it to grow in size and strength. His enemy screamed an unintelligible verse, but got his blade stuck again in the crevice of Sjikonji's now even more enormous axe. Sjikonji raised his eybrows before slamming his enemy back on the ground. He raised his axe to end the battle, but his opponent created a blocking wall of wind before rolling out of range of Sjikonji.

"You put up a good fight, old man," Sjikonji's enemy paused, "but if you want to kill me, you better have brought friends." His oppenent now had a glowing blue blade, signifying that his power had grown. He charged once more toward Sjikonji, but this time he unleashed a tornado before reaching him. Sjikonji, unprepared, got caught in the twister. Before he knew it, he was one hundred feet in the air with his enemy.

"Yasuo..." he realized. Yasuo smirked, then began cutting through Sjikonji, as if he were silk.

"Sorye Ge Ton!"

When Sjikonji awoke, he was faced with a giant being.

"I've been expecting you, Sjikonji Ryukuta." It said.

Sjikonji looked around, realizing everything around him was an eerie crimson, except the blackened monster in front of him. "Where am I? Who are you? I've cut down things bigger than-" He felt around for his weapon, but it wasn't there. "Where is it?" He asked.

The monster laughed before speaking. "You mean this pitiful thing?" It laughed as it plucked the stick, with its tentacles, out of a red bubble floating nearby. "A demon blade that can only become three different weapons? I laugh at those modern reinventions. What you need is the first demon blade." The monster said as it created an image of it in Sjikonji's mind. It looked like a snake, but it could turn into so many more weapons than his current stick. A flail, a mace, a dagger, a shield and a sword, a spear, and countless more. The monster snapped its fingers, removing the images. "It's so much better than the one you already have, why don't you get it? Just say you want it, and I can give it to you." The monster said as it held out an oversized tentacle, to make a deal.

Sjikonji thought about it, nearly overlooking one important factor. "What's the catch?" He asked. The monster looked repulsed, slightly taking its tentacle back, then repositioning it, as if it were only a twitch.

"I'm so glad you asked. The price for the blade, is your humanity," the monster paused to let it settle in, "not to bad a deal, is it?"

Sjikonji began to think about it more closely. "Well, I never was quite human, was I? I guess it's a deal." The monster shook hands with Sjikonji.

"Oh yes! Yes! YES! Never in one thousand years have I recieved such a dumb mortal as you, Sjikonji. But thanks, you're allowing both of us to have a second chance."

"Second chance? Wait, what!?" Sjikonji screamed as he was posessed by the overwhelming force of the monster inhabiting his body.

You see, Sjikonji, when I said "the price of the blade is your humanity", I meant EVERYTHING that made you human! Now you can't control yourself, because that would still make you somewhat human, yes? Why yes, yes it would. So now I'M the master of this body. Boy does it feel good to have four limbs again, and not one hundred thousand flailing around everywhere. Now, it's time for a makeover! The monster telepathically spoke to Sjikonji. His skin became redder, his tattoos growing darker. His hair whitened, as it grew longer, to his mid-back. Horns sprout from his head as they wound around it. His blade appeared in his hand, sheathing it in his now too-short sheath.

Everything is ours now, Sjikonji! Just you wait, you won't regret this!
