Dominic and Sarada we're walking into a forest for what she was told was going to be training. To be honest she was very excited to spend some time with her father

Sarada:~I can't believe father is going to train me! Finally I can learn from the best!~

Dominic: This looks like a good spot.

Sarada hums and looks at her father. She didn't know much but she knew he was fast, very fast, faster than even light itself. Though that's what she read about from theories about him and her uncle Dante.

Dominic: Well? Put your stuff down.

Sarada: Huh?

Dominic: Sit down Sarada. Your training will begin but not right now. So rest.

Sarada sighs and puts the backpack she had on down and sits on the grass

Dominic: Hm. Okay resting is over..

Sarada looks up and gets in a fighting position

Dominic: Go grab some firewood while I set everything up.

Sarada: H-huh..?

The young ninja was confused. Why would he not start her training immediately? She knows her father has skills than any ninja in any village. In fact he told her about Dante defeating Mundus who had the power to take over the universe. Now she's being asked to gather wood... perfect

Sarada:*sighs* Yes papa...

Dominic: Excellent. I'll start dinner when you get back.

Sarada nods and walks away from their campsite a little disappointed and sad that she isn't training right now.

The young ninja gathers wood by using her raw strength to cut down a tree with a swift and hard chop at the base of it. Ever since she found about her true lineage she's been training harder to unlock her Devil Trigger just like her father and her siblings. She took pride in seeing how far she's come in so little time. On her way back she notices some of the trees had claw marks on them, even one of the logs she held has the same marks on them

Sarada: There must be a bear in the area. I hope we haven't disturbed it..

A rustle in the bushes gets Sarada's attention and her immediate reaction of throwing a kunai into the bush and waiting for something to be there but nothing happens

Sarada:*sighs* I'm getting worked up over nothing... perfect

???: Greetings daughter of Dominic Sparda.

A voice calls out to Sarada which then followed to her being knocked onto her back by a large and fast moving object. She held her shoulder in pain as the sounds of something flying around her echoes

Sarada:*strained grunt*

???: I have dislocated your shoulder. Surrender.

Sarada stands up panting and she grits her teeth as she popped her shoulder back into place with a short scream

???: Impressive.

Dark red glowing eyes stare at Sarada and she stared right back at them with a piercing glare

Sarada: Who are you!

She shouts into the darkness and then was answered by the eyes coming closer to her and in the light revealed her attacker

???: I am the ex-decepticon designated as Ravage.

Sarada: Deception....

Sarada heard stories about the Deception army and their battles against the Autobots and how they fought on the side of darkness years ago during the battle of the dimensions. But to see one now terrified Sarada

Ravage: Fighting me is unwise and will lead to your death young demon. I have lived for eons in battle. My intelligence far surpasses yours in this fight. You won't survive.

Sarada: If you are so smart then why did you attack me if you know who my father is? Do you know what he could do to you?

Ravage: It was he who ordered me to attack you.

This revelation shocked Sarada. Why? Why would he do this? Why would he get this beast to attack her

Sarada: P-papa...he..why?

Ravage: You are weak. Weakness is to be culled. So says he!

Sarada wipes her eyes and looks at Ravage

Sarada: You have a one track mind for a robot.

Ravage: Your insults do not affect me. Prove your worth by using your skills in battle. I am the guard dog of your family and have been since the original child Sarah Sparda. Though I have failed in protecting her when the One Winged Angel Sephiroth took her life, she had proven she could fight. Prove your worth to me and your training will begin.

Sarada: Okay....I'll prove I'm worthy! To you and to my father!

Sarada tightens her headband and gets in a fighting stance while Ravage curls down and growls.

The first move was made and Sarada retaliates with a flurry of throwing stars at Ravage, the metal weapons bounce off his steel skin and he laughs

Ravage: Did you think traditional means could harm me?

Sarada scoffs and runs away from Ravage. The robotic cougar growls and chases after her. The girl is young and inexperienced with her demonic powers but she has tapped into them nonetheless. Her speed was fast enough to make her seem like a blur to Ravage but this was nothing he hasn't handled before. He activates the rocket boosters on his hind legs and he flies at blazing speeds towards Sarada growling and snarling

Sarada pants from the running and she looks behind her seeing him coming in very fast. Her mind races on what to do and then Ravage stops chasing her so she stops running

Sarada: Why are you stopping?

Ravage: A warrior flees when they know the fight cannot be won. You do not know you can win but my scanners say otherwise. Your father thinks the same too.

Sarada: You're calling me a coward?

Ravage: Yes. Chasing you wouldn't merit a challenge and that makes you unworthy of his training. And his time.

Those words cut through Sarada like bullets. Seeds of doubt growing into despair. Was her weakness the reason her father did not visit often? Is it her fault her mother goes to bed alone every night?

Ravage: You hold yourself back with doubts. A weakness I easily exploited. But what will happen when a true threat comes and you are not ready to fight? Will you run..or die..?

Sarada took her time with her answer. What would she do? Would she run like a coward? Or die like a warrior? She looked at her open palm and closed it into a fist and looked at the panther with determination

Sarada: I'll get strong! I'll show you and my father that I have strength! Strength that will help me become the Hokage and someone who's worthy of holding the Sparda name!!

Ravage smiled at the girls newfound determination and kneeled down

Ravage: Then you have my acknowledgement Sarada Sparda. Now show me this power you have!!

Ravage roars to the sky and charges at Sarada to which she does the same and the two engage in battle once again

Sarada's fist came down on Ravage's head but he pushed back and broke free from her incredible strength and went for a chomp on her abdomen. Thankfully she dodged his attacks but the panther wasn't a Deception for nothing as his rockets opened and barrels popped out of them

Sarada: Wh-!

Two blasts fired from the barrels and as quick as a camera flash Sarada dodged the bolts as if they were in slow motion to her. She then gave Ravage a hard kick to the jaw sending him off his feet and then with another kick, send him into a tree. The impact dazed Ravage for a second but he wasn't out of the fight yet. He gets up and takes notice of the kunai in Sarada's hands and notices they have begun to radiate demonic energy

Ravage:~Her abilities are growing faster and faster. But what will they be?~

All of Dominic's children had an aspect of his abilities birthed with them. For Nero it is his ability to create physical constructs like swords or his Devil Bringer arm and Sora's commander over lightning. But what would Sarada be gifted with? Thinking would have to wait as Sarada threw one kunai at Ravage so fast that it disappeared from sight and on a very high gamble he moved out of its way, barely missing him leaving only a scratch in his skin

Ravage:*panting* Excellent. Show me more!

Sarada crossed her arms and darted towards Ravage. Ravage reacted by locking onto Sarada and open firing on her with a barrage of laser blasts and though lasers are essentially light speed, Sarada dodged them with ease. She then leapt into the air and reeled her fist back, gritting her teeth and eyes glowing red

Sarada: CHAAAA!!!

Ravage growled and released a powerful roar from his mouth that knocked Sarada away and onto the ground again

Ravage: Excellent work. But we are not done yet. Fight!

Sarada grunts and pushed herself to her feet

Sarada: Yes sir!

Ravage rockets towards her again and raised his paws up. As Sarada saw this she saw that his claws were glowing purple. Another attack that she avoided but to little success as she felt a burning sensation in her chest and saw three claw marks on her shirt as well as the smell of singed flesh

Sarada:*grunts and falls to a knee* Gn...gah..!

Ravage: Upgrades. Courtesy of your half brother Koro. Will you submit?

Sarada:*pants* Never!

Ravage: Then die!

Ravage sprints at Sarada again, going for another attack but she dodged it with little effort but the panther was more than meets the eye and he uses his momentum to dig his paws into the ground and front flip onto the trunk of a tree and then bouncing off it with a quick burst from his rocket boosters quickly getting back into the fight.

Sarada evades his first attack and she catches his attempt to chomp down on her leg with her hands and holds his mouth open, struggling to get him away from her

Sarada:~He just doesn't give up! Why did papa do this?~

The two roll on the ground. One trying to get the upper. Thankfully Sarada inherited incredible strength from both her father and mother and launched him off of her and into the sky before he came back down and was greeted with a strong kick to the side, crushing many internal parts and bending his metal skin.

The panther crashed into a tree and laid there trying to get himself up. Whining like an injured animal considering Sarada just crippled him.

Sarada:*pants* I'm ending this..now!

Sarada charges at Ravage, reeling her fist back as chakra channels through her fist, glowing a bright blue with a purple hue around the aura. She goes in for the killing blow with eyes filled with bloodlust. The demon was begining to take over her and mere feet from striking down Ravage, a shadow gets in her way and her fist goes through straight the person

Sarada:*panting*

???: Ahem..

Sarada looks up and all the color recedes from her face as her father was there with her hand in his stomach

Dominic: That could have gone bad. Now....

Dominic glides a finger across Sarada's arm. Her skin crawls at the feeling of his ice cold fingertip

Dominic: Get your damn arm out of me before I take it.

Sarada gasps and tries to pull her arm out of her father while he stood there tapping his foot. With a loud pop Sarada freed her hand from her fathers insides. The young ninja looked at her bloody hand as the wound Dominic received healed almost instantly

Dominic: You felt that huh? That bloodlust.

Sarada: Yes..what is it?

Dominic: It's your inner devil. Maybe it's your lust for battle in your human side. Humans are such complex creatures. They fight each other for stupid reasons like religion or what anime is better. What I'm trying to say is that your killer instincts will be harder to control the more you delve deeper into your demonic heritage but they can be controlled.

Sarada: How did you take control?

Dominic: Years and years of training, meditation, taking my anger out on the world. But I'm here to lead you down a different path. A better one...

Sarada looks down holding her arm. She was frightened about what she is just by tapping into this small fraction of her power.

Sarada: What happens if I lose control?

Dominic: That will never happen. Not as long as I am here. But I'm not always going to be there so you have to promise me something; don't tell anyone what you are.

Sarada: Why?

Dominic: Because humans won't understand. And what they don't understand they fear, and whatever they fear, they destroy. If there's one thing I fear, it's humanities unpredictability.

Sarada: Do you hate humans?

Dominic sighed and bit his lip before he opened his mouth to answer her question

Dominic: Not as much as I did. Though if they continue to provoke me and my family, I will sick Alucard on them.

Sarada: Who..?

Dominic: Ah it's nobody important just Dracula.

Sarada: Drac-who?

Dominic: We'll talk later.

Dominic turns to Ravage and kneels down to him and touches his side feeling the creased metal and Ravage's steady breathing.

Ravage: I quit...teaching your kids...

Dominic: You mean you quit getting your ass kicked old man?

Ravage growls and coughs. Dominic's hand glows a small shimmering light which slowly heals Ravage

Dominic: You're okay.

Sarada goes up to her father and Ravage and pets his head

Sarada: I'm so sorry..

Ravage: Don't be..I've done worse.

Dominic: As have I. When I was your age daughter. But that's a tale only for me to know. Now go back to camp and set everything up while I fix up your mess.

Sarada: Yes papa.

Sarada leaps away into the treeline leaving the two veterans of war

Ravage: She's strong for her age..

Dominic: Indeed. She'll need extra training and much more discipline if she ever hopes to control her powers.

Ravage: Hm did you tell her the truth about your distain for the humans?

Dominic: Not the full truth. To be truthful though, I'm scared about what will happen to her if I'm not there.

Ravage: You need to loosen your grip on your children. They have each other and Sephiroth knows not to trifle with you anymore.

Dominic: Yes yes I know. I just worry too much.

Ravage: That you do. Go. I can get up on my own..little boy.

Dominic:*smile* Hm. You know technically I'm older than you.

Ravage: Technically you need to run before I bite your leg off.

Dominic: You know it grows back.

Ravage: It would still hurt.

Dominic: For a moment.

Dominic stands up and leaves Ravage by himself to his thoughts. Though we are not lucky to learn them for now.

Coming soon...

A small triangular machine floats around the ruined streets of a destroyed city. It shines a light around destroyed cars and buildings then shutting it off with vocal disappointment

Machine: Where are you?

The machine continues scanning the area before it stops and looks at a patch of grass while it scans what's in it

Machine: Finally!

The machine utters with glee in it's vocoded voice as it's parts separate and a bright light shines from it and an energy forms around the outline of something.

???: AHH!

The machine darts away as a person shoots up from the grass panting in shock

???: Where...what...

The person looks at their hands seeing their skin was blue. They look around and scuttle to a puddle of water in the ground and they gaze at their face seeing their blue complexion and golden yellow eyes. Running a hand through their snow white hair, the person sat up and looked around

???: What's happening to me?

Machine: Our destiny!

The person turns to the voice, seeing the small machine float towards him with a happy expression on its singular eye. The person says nothing and holds his hand out and the machine floats above his palm looking at him

Machine: I finally found you...my Guardian.
