Seven Rings of Hell

Previously on Seven Rings of Hell... We've returned with the battle of Fujiro and Kimura for the title of the final holder, and we saw Fujiro decent into darkness and Kimura's undying determination showing their stark contrast in mindsets, and in the end Kimura came out on top and now has become the final Gravity swordsman... Now all that's left is the final day of training... Beast taming....

{It resumes from Kimura waking up after his nightmare}

Kimura: Dang it! Why can't I get a good night's sleep! (Not realizing he's yelling)

Everyone else in the room: Shut the Hell up!!

Satarou: What? you think your the MC or something?

Yanji: Like we're just side characters to you? We have lives too you know!! (As the gents starts a ruckus)

Tokito: Shut you moron! We're trying to sleep!

Onaraka: Yeah!

Yanji: Sorry my princesses!!

Satarou: Shut it you simp!

{As it all begins to settle, Kimura is still left unsettled as he stares at the ceiling}

Kimura: [I don't know how but ever since I awakened my element I've been having these precognitive visions... Like last night I saw Fujiro stabbing me... What the hell is happening to me...

{As it cuts to morning and Kimura is sitting in the kitchen with a lost expression}

Yanji: (walks in) Yo Kimura. (Sees Kimura is lost in thought) Earth to Kimura! (As he shakes him)

Kimura: Oh sorry Yanji, I was just thinking about something.

Yanji: What's been eating at you?

Kimura: It's a long story...

Yanji: I've got time bro, let's talk About it as we make breakfast.

{As it shows Kimura and Yanji just chilling talking it out}

Kimura: Honestly bro... I'm scared about what might happen next...

Yanji: It's okay to feel scared, courage isn't the absence of fear it's the presence of fear but still doing it anyway. Like you did yesterday, you were afraid of Fujiro but you still made it in the end.

Kimura: But what about my vision?

Yanji: Those visions don't determine your future, you do! You can choose to either give in or keep fighting. What do you pick?

Kimura: (As he looks up to him with a confident smile) I'm gonna keep fighting until the bitter end!!

Yanji: That's what I want to hear lil bro!!

Kimura: Technically I'm not your lil bro anymore Yanji were the same age. (both aged 16)

Yanji: Hey, I'm still your elder in status.

Kimura: You think your stronger than me?

Yanji: Yeah I could beat you light work.

Kimura: Is that a fact? Since when did you become so confident?

Yanji: You ain't seen nothing yet kid, after your done with training we're gonna spar and I'll show you just how strong I really am.

Kimura: Alright I like some competition, you got a deal!!

{As they fist bump this gives Kimura the extra push he needed to make through the challenges ahead}

{They finish making a great breakfast for everyone}

Yanji: You see Kimura , if everything doesn't workout, you can always come work with me as a chef, your good at this man.

Kimura: Thank bro, I'll consider that if all else fails.

{As it cuts to everyone sat down eating having Casual conversation}

Itadori: Morning everyone!

Everyone: Morning Sensei!!

Itadori I hope you all are in high spirits, because we're having a tough day ahead of us, so there's been more sighting of Ichiro is the Rengoku district...

Sendou: Wait you mean...

Itadori: Your archenemy is still out on the loose... And honestly he's been getting stronger and stronger with every soul he's consumed...

Sendou: Oh don't worry I've been stronger too! I'll take him down this time!! (As his eyes burn dark blue filled with intent...)

Itadori: That's what I like to hear, because you and Tokito will have to be on patrol for him, but don't kill him, we have to extract the souls he's eaten and if he's killed now , those soul's will be destroyed along with him. So Sendou... Don't give in to revenge...

Sendou: (he calms his expression) Fine I won't take it that far...

Itadori: Anyway, the other tasks are Onaraka and Satarou are going to man the shop, Yanji you'll be coming with me after Kimura finishes his training he'll spar with you to test his strength.

Yanji and Kimura:Yes Sir!! (The spar they wanted has been made official)

Itadori: And with that, let's give it everything we have today people!!

Everyone: Hell Yeah!!

{As it shows everyone going to their respective area}

{Cuts to Sendou}

Sendou: (carrying Tokito as he flies with his phoenix wings) I swear when I see Ichiro I'll!!

Tokito: No... Don't say that Sendou, doing that isn't you... So let's just focus only on the mission and no outside influence okay?

Sendou: Okay, I'll keep it cool... (As he tries to hide it but he still has dark intents)

Tokito: I sense his energy! He's over there!! (As she points)

Sendou: We'll stop him today!! (As they speed off)

{It cuts to Onaraka and Satarou}

Satarou: It's nice getting Restaurant duty when it's a empty day.

Onaraka: Yeah but It's pretty boring...

Satarou: You wanna arm wrestle?

Onaraka: Sure, but let's make it interesting.

Satarou: What do you mean?

Onaraka: Whoever wins gets to dare the loser to do any one thing they want.

Satarou: Any one thing? (As he looks at her lips wanting to kiss her)

Onaraka: Yeah are you in?

Satarou: (tries to act chill) Yeah sure...

{But before they begin it cuts to Kimura's training}

Itadori: Kimura, I'm going to warn you your beast is the most powerful of all the 7 beasts. You have to be careful because if you die in that world your body will be possessed by the beast itself and we can't bring you back...

Kimura: Wait what?! Is that a thing? Could Fujiro have done that too?!

Itadori: Yes, If you lost to him your body would become his. It's always like that, I just haven't told anyone this yet... Your situation is that serious Kimura...

Kimura: *Gulp* The pressure is real!!

Itadori: I know, but i believe in you Kimura after everything you've been through this is just the final step before your path to greatness.

Kimura: (takes a deep breath as he remembers everything he's been through up until this point) Let's do this!!

Itadori: That's what I like hear!!

{As it cuts to Kimura entering the realm of the beast's, as Kuma's domain is a dark pine tree forest under a dark winter night with snow gently falling and the sky full of purple stars}

Kimura: Wow... This is so beautiful... (As he threads carefully through the terrain his breath freezing in the cold)

{Kuma appears through the shadows of the trees his dark furr with purple tints matches the night sky as Kuma's dark purple eyes glow the only visable feature on his body as he slowly walks to Kimura}

Kuma: Kimura I've been waiting for you...

Kimura: How do you know my name?

Kuma: How do I Know your name? I'm the Beast of the Gravity element, the strongest beast of all Seven Elements, my power is known throughout all Japanese lore. I am Kuma The Beast King!! (As he roars this the stars glow bright showing his full 8ft tall body and his sharp fangs.)

Kimura: [His aura is so powerful it's almost suffocating! But there's something familar about him...]

Kuma: Your the mortal that is going to be my final master? Your gonna to prove yourself!! (As he crouches revealing his claws as his breath turns ragged as he growls)

Kimura: [He's about to strike!!] (He puts up his arms blocking)

{As Kuma's powerful blow sends Kimura reeling back}

Kimura: (he reveals his face as that single attack caused his nose to bleed and to cut the inside of his mouth) [That power is unreal!! How am I supposed to fight this?!]

{But Kimura feels something deeper behind the onslaught of blows}

Kimura: [This pain it feels exactly how I felt back then when I first heard mom's passing. These strike I remember I lashed out at Sendou just like this... So full of hate and pain... This is...] (As Kimura makes a deep reveal) [He's a mirror of the pain I've trying to run away from... This challenge is forcing me to confront these feelings I've been hiding!!]

{As Kimura constantly tries to battle Kuma but his blows do absolutely nothing to him}

Kimura: [Is he really... Unbeatable? Am I gonna die here?] (As he's badly wounded and he wants to give in)

{But he sees everyone cheering him on, he holds on}

Kimura: [Now... It feels like I'm just battling me...] (As the Kuma in Kimura's eyes looks like that angry little kid he was in that moment) [What was the one thing... I needed? What one thing saved me from becoming a monster...] (As Kuma comes in dashing ready to deliver the final blow)

{But Kimura hugs Kuma}

Kimura: It's okay... It's okay inner child, I Know... I know it was so hard to lose her it was so hard for everything to change without you knowing it... It has been tough. But it's okay , it's time for you to rest, I needed you to cope with the lose but now I've grown past it, you don't need to have that tough exterior. We're stronger now, I don't need to rely on your anger anymore... (As Kimura says these words Kuma turns to white)

{As the constant winter of the realm finally stops and the darkness of the forest lightens up}

Kuma: Kimura... Thank you... No holder has ever been able to see past my facade of strength... I accept you Kimura Takashi as my eternal master. (As he turns into a two handed Katana, the blade is encrusted with claw marks around the edge, and a creat that reads "Final swordsman, KT" is Japanese Kanji)

Kimura: (as he looks at the blade , sees his face in the shine of blade it shows his younger self wink to him) Kuma... Thank you... (As he lays down in the snow looking up to the beautiful night) I've finally taken that step... (As he closes his eyes and opens in the real world)

Itadori (casually watching Dragon ball with Yanji) Oh your back.

Kimura: Yeah, (as he holds his new sword) and I've come back stronger than ever.

Itadori: Then let's begin the spar...

That epic spar will happen in the next chapter!!
