'Twas going to be quite the fun night within the depths of the Chaya Nation. Skipping, prancing and then just appearing out of a cluster of shadow's; The Demon Queen, Mana Asthavon, had emerged into the rocky mountains of the infamous warrior country of Demon World. Giggling a bit, she'd swiftly move throughout the night's darkness in order to access the area she had just so-casually teleported into. From the looks of it, it appeared to be some sort of Grand Canyon-like valley. There had been large trails of rocky roads that had been grey in color, wide open ranges to take in the amazing view of sky and many sorts of cliffs to make this a perfect spot to make a rendezvous in the dark. Heck, on top of that, she had even spotted a few river streaks that would make for some perfect underwater diving later on for what she had in stored for this wondrous gathering below the moon's intense glow. Though, we may have gone too far ahead of the story to even realize what was occurring at the moment.Why would the Queen of Demon's bother coming outwards to a barren land such as this one? Well, that's rather easy. The purpose for this gathering in the dark was to access the strength of a new member in her Royal Family, Micheal Asthvaon. After giving him an initiation ceremony just a few days prior to this, she had effectively accessed all of his bodily attributes, history, mindset and other abilities to at least make it worth a shot to determine rather or not this guy would be worth digging through the dirt to make one of her royal nights. After all, in her mind, Demon World contained a large mass of grunts who were nothing more then meat shields at this point. They were going to have to start breeding more and more impressive warriors at some point to defend their regale lands; so why not oversee the process yourself and get it over with? Once the male would reach a certain strength, he'd then go on to repeat this process for someone under then and make a cycle of spawning off freakishly powerful demon's for generations to come and ensuring their family's survival in the future.
So, with that sort of logic baring down on her mind, Mana felt she had at least one night to kill with this guy to ensure for herself that he was worth the investment. If he had failed this test? There was a likely chance she'd either make him an enslaved familiar by killing him, taking back the seal she had entrusted to his body or figuring out some kind of use of what would be left after his body if he had disappointed The Queen. Despite this, there was apart of her that did not wish for this outcome to take place and that he would possibly prove her wrong in this regard. The kid made her awaken to the origins the lady of the darkness once had with the world of the human's; not to mention Sir Micheal had made Mana rethink the course of actions she had taken as Queen of Demon's upwards until this point. If his soul length was strong enough to cause some sort of reaction to hers, it was going to be amusing dragging it out in the form of enhancing his power.
Ergo, Queen Mana had requested that newly born Asthavon to meet her in the Chaya Mountains for a little training session. She did not care if the man was sleeping, didn't bat an eyelash at the possibility of him busy or even take into consideration he may be in the middle of a battle that concerned his life. If the boy had any sort of sense, he'd be here in the next five to minutes, or she was so gone. And with her leaving? The chance of him pleasing his Queen, and more precisely, his allotted moments amongst the living. In times like this, the lady was quite a brooding figure. Though, when you are as busy as a ruler over darkness, you to wouldn't want someone to waste your valuable time. Heh, imagine if you had a set an appointment up with a little familiar; only to have that runt flake out on you, and thus, waste your precise time that could have been spent elsewhere in your ever-expanding kingdom which was Demon World. You'd be pretty PO'd to, right? Right.
In any case, she'd go ahead and begin getting the stage ready for their session of teaching. One of the first things to occur? Some sort of barrier. If they were going to be doing such intense training, they were going to need privacy. Thus, the first logical conclusion would be to erect a force-field which had the potential to nullify entry into this field, of say, fifty-five miles, against all beings whom weren't Mana or Micheal Asthavon. If one attempt'd to bypass whom weren't the two included in the proprieties of this shield? Then they'd simply be redirected elsewhere in Demon World by a teleporation spell which was encoded into the makings of this Demonic Barrier. With that taken care of, the next thing to do would be to scan this location to ensure that nothing else had been placed inside of the vicinity of this sorcery. Scanning the area, she had activated the effects of the witchcraft in order to relocate lower-class demon's out from the effected range and take her place upon one of the tallest peaks of the fifty five mile radius.
Taking a soft sigh, she'd then idly wait for him with a rather disinterested expression across her wait. As stated before, she wasn't the type that liked to wait. Thus, as she had "patiently" awaited Micheal's arrival, she had stared idly upwards the sky. Expanding the barrier a few thousand miles upwards in the air, Mana let out a wicked laugh as she had targeted some sort of comet heading towards this land. It was rushing towards the Chaya Nation at a great amount of speed; which had made Mana bat an eyelash. With a few flicks of her wrist, a green energy blast had been forged in her right palm. Judging by her analysis of the damned thing, it must've been roughly the size of a small stadium. Letting out a small whistle, she'd then swiftly release her compressed force into the sphere, launch it at great speeds upwards into the heavens and decimated the asteroid before it had a chance to even phase the Nation.
Now, instead of a massive meteoroid smashing into the country, it seemed as if Mana had succeeded in creating an amazing light show for Micheal's arrival. Thousands upon thousands of burning chunks of space hunk had been disbursed across a thousand mile radius; burning out into ash before they had a chance to really damage anything. Making The Queen rather amused as she laughed a bit at the fireworks; allowing her to sit Indian style and float upwards in the air as she kept herself entertained until her special guest had arrived.
Honestly, this girl really knew how to kill time...

While this was going on, deep in the mountains of Romania, to domain of the King of Blood Michael Asthavon was a rather large lab. This lab was over ten stories in size, all of which were deep underground expect for the top floor which was at the very base of the mountain. This lab was filled to with demons, all wearing the same white lab coats and all of them looking extremely human, as that was the rule around this lab. You had to look human and you had to have your lab coat on while you were working. Every Demon in that place was working at a peak effectiveness and efficiency, like a well-oiled machine or a military unit, which makes sense due to Michael’s former military experience. As the little demons ran around they only had one job, to get results and Michael made sure that every day they got more results then the last or very bad things would happen. This facility was fully run out of Michael’s pocket, which made his punishment even more firm. Michael’s lab was created for a single purpose and one purpose only… to decode the reiastu structure of ALL living beings on the planet.
Ever since Mana injected Michael with her energy, Michael has become more aggressive and outwardly intelligent then before. Michael was not stupid by any means, but this kind of project would have bored him to tears before the seal was put on him. Now it was a completely different story, as he wanted a hour by hour update on everything that was going on and if something was not keeping up with his time table he would let the lab workers know, and they would fix it. Inside the labs were ‘samples’ of every race that was known, from hollows to arrancar to even some rogue Shinigami and Demons. In the sound proof rooms of the lowest levels, they were stored and every day a new shipment of ‘samples’ would come in from around the world to add to Michael’s database of reiastu structures. The process of the reiastu structure draining was far from perfect, as they often had to drain all of the reiastu out of the subject, which was also extremely painful, to finally get enough information about its structure to make a model of it to put into the database. This was made all the more difficult as every single sample had a unique reiastu structure, which made that structure useless once they died but Michael kept them on record for a single reason. They all had something in common. After several hundred experiments like this, Michael realized that every race had a unique structure that all of them shared and made it possible for him to break it down. This, of course, was not good enough for Michael as he did not want to have to kill the person to get a base reading of their reiastu structure. So Michael quickly sent his team on how to make this more effective and how to have the same results with less. At the end of this Michael wanted to be able to get a full model of someone’s reiastu structure with a single drop of their blood or a small sample of one of their attacks.
Michael sat there at his desk, his feet on his desk as he read today’s report on progress.
Subject D387: Has shown that we are making progress in the process becoming more non-lethal and less painful, as he not only survived the process but he only screamed for us to kill him twice. This shows a near 30% improvement over the previous subject, though this may be due to person tolerance but we find that very unlikely. We are currently ahead of schedule on the time-line you have given us.
Subject V102: Has shown that while the Vizard reiastu structure is similar to the Shinigami structure, it is different in a very set number of ways. Its total strength is increased by nearly 50% due to the hollow structure combining with it, this fixes the weaknesses in both the normal Hollow and Shinigami structures but it does create a several new ones. We are currently experimenting to see which is the easiest to break down.

Michael smiled as he heard that they were ahead of schedule, and he knew that if he kept this up he would be able to get a single drop of blood from someone and in a matter of days have a fully mapped out Reiatsu structure of that person. Michael’s smile though quickly went away as a little demon walked into his office, without invitation or even warning and as Michael was about to speak up he realized who the demon was. It was one of Mana’s messengers, come to summon or tell Michael something that is going on. Michael would listen to the request for a moment, and he would nod the small demon and send him away as he got up from his seat and then walked through a portal, that he created just mere moments ago.
Michael arrived just in time to see the firework show, and he would smile for a moment as he knew that Mana had caused it somehow. Michael would also notice that they were surrounded by a massive force field, one that was close to one hundred twenty miles in size and nearly as tall. Michael did not know what it was capable of doing, but he knew that it would keep just about anyone out if it needed to. Michael then smiled at Mana before saying “Isn’t this were we kiss and have really hot sex on the rocks of this place. I also had no idea that you were into doing it outside; I learn something new about you every time we meet.” Michael would wink at Mana, showing that this was not very serious. Once Mana looked at Michael, she would see that he was not even wearing a shirt! Michael’s bare chest was shining in the light of the fireworks, and she could see the many tattoos that he had acquired since the last time they meet, one of which being the Asthavon family seal in the dead center of his chest, right where his heart should be. Michael’s tattoos were all tribal and demonic in nature and they all seemed to come out of the Asthavon family seal, as if that was the root of this tree of tattoos that covered Michael’s chest, abs and upper arms. Michael though was still wearing his black jeans with black combat boots, much like he always has.

Well, wasn't he quite the charming one, eh? As Mana would turn herself around to greet Micheal upon his risky entrance, she could only accompany him with a laugh. Why? Ha, she hadn't met anyone this straight forward with their intentions in quite a bit. After all, once you become an overlord of darkness, not many really bother with the formalities that are involved in seducing such a creature as The Queen of Demon's. Inspecting his body a bit as she titled her head curiously, she noticed that most of the tribal-like tattoo's that had emerged on his body during their first meeting had still been prominently displayed. Furthermore, she had even noticed a new addition in the line of tattoo's on the Royal Knight's body. Zooming in to his torso, The Queen saw the Asthavon Family emblem embedded into the man's heart. Taking a final summary of everything she had gathered out of Micheal's Outward appearance, it appeared, from the looks of things, that he had been very busy since their last encounter and she smirked a bit because of it. "My, my. You haven't even called me up for dinner and you are already getting riled up!" Laughing a bit, Mana would cease floating and drop to the ground; ever-so elegantly landing on her feet. Really, it had been awhile since she had been hit on like this and it was amusing to say the least. "And you'll learn alot more things about me, the night and this grand world we coexist in the more you stick around with me, 'sugah. I am the Queen of Demon's, after all." With that said, she'd then blow him a kiss; as a sign of teasing. Normally, she'd be the one doing the raping in this circumstance, so it was time to switch things up a bit by leading him on bit by bit. "Speaking of learning, aren't you quite aware of why ye' are here, hun?" Almost as if the two forgot the primary reason for this meeting in the dark, The Queen brought up a good point. While this was all fun and games for each of them, the true reason for this demonic duo to be here was to get down to business of amplifying Micheal's strength.
Musing over the information she had compiled about Micheal's body structure, Mana figured she had enough knowledge of him in order to formulate a plan to rise him to power. One of the first steps to that goal was getting down to the basic's of his Demonic Physiology. Though, after musing over it for a second, she may be jumping the gun a bit. From what she had analyzed from his previous fights....this guy was jumping the gun too quickly. Apparently, her Royal Knight had a pretty bad habit of revealing too much of his power too quickly to his opponent. This was a trait that was going to be stopped; for as he reaches new plateaus of power, this isn't going to be a valuable method of combat to retain. After all, if Mana herself went around using the fullest extent of her power, there might not BE a Earth to begin with and her foe would have obtained too much knowledge of her powers as well. Ergo, baring all this mind, The Queen had found the first thing to work on with Micheal.
"We are here to train ya." Snapping her fingers, The Mistress of the Night had gone on to display holographic footage compiled from most of Micheal's fights up until this point and time. "You see, ya' got a major problem, 'sugah. While you possess a potential great strength, you keep squandering it away by releasing too much of ye' power at once. Why do you seek such a need to rush the ballroom dance so quickly?" Rubbing her chin a bit, Mana was a bit perplexed as to how she was going to fix this problem, but it would be rectified soon enough. "So, my dear' lil' monster of the night, you are going to have to drop that. You should learn to endure a fight longer, but make the most of each of your powers at the same time. To help you with this, I'll give ya' a sparring buddy." Chuckling a bit, The Demoness had gone on to conjure up something wicked yet again, as a surge of ill energy could be felt throughout the field; making it clear that something was being summoned to the field at the moment.
Bursting from the shadow's, a feminine figure would burst out of Micheal's shadow. Slithering like a nasty snake, she'd emerge in the moonlight to reveal....that it was a replica of Mana. Yet, if he were to pay closer attention, there would be something seriously off. While she had the general appearance of The Queen, her eyes were entirely white; looking as if she had no soul to begin with. Additionally, unlike the traditional color of black that Mana wore, this creature's attire had been inverted in color. In fact, as more of this...creature...had been unveiled, the more it's colors began to change. The hair of this female was beginning to transition from Mana's jet black hair, to something akin to a dirty white or grey. The same occurred to her dress, pants and high-heeled shoes as it let out small hisses. Furthermore, this...thing...didn't even seem to radiate the same flow of energy as Mana. Instead, there seemed to be some sort of....core...hidden within it? As this thing landed inbetween the two Asthavon's, The Queen would chuckle a bit as she'd go on to explain why this creature was here.
"Ye' are probably wondering what this thing is, right? Well, it's a little spawn of mine, but it has a mind of it's own; seeing how I infused it with it's own core. It's radiating enough power to nearly be above you in power. So, you may have to be a bit on guard, though I don't want to have to resort to utilizing any sort of release form or dramatic powers. Instead, 'sugah, just use what you have. Your physical strength should be fierce when mixed together with your energy reserves; so I'm certain you can harness the power of that loving Death Force in order to comprise punches that can decay straight through beings." Taking flight, Mana would begin to hover over the two as she'd chuckle a bit. "Better yet, just get a feel for your powers and learn what it means to fight like a real demon. I'm a 'gal that works better hands-on; rather then bothering you with boring details. So, as this lil' wrestling match progresses, you should get a sensation from that seal of yours as to what ye' could be doing to ward off this creature."
Now tapping her chin, she'd tilt her head to the side once more; showing a sinister grin across that delightful face of hers. "In fact, if you want to really advance yourself, just begin to use more of it's knowledge; rather then trying to bum rush the power...as alluring as it can be." Licking her fingers, Mana would giggle and add on, "I did not become the Queen of you Demon's simply by power, nay, I required knowledge as well, hunny. Not once throughout your battles with the seal have you seeked the answers of how to overcome your challenges. I believe it's time you became more in tune with it, Sir Micheal" And with that, Mana would clap her fingers; causing a reaction on the seal placed in his neck in the form of a strange green glow emitting from it, eventually making Micheal's body radiate a similar omonimous light. With these preparations made, the only thing left was for the clone in question to act. And, without letting out a single word, it comprised a rusty axe from it's own energy, made not a single noise and charged at Micheal at break neck speeds; hoping to cut his head clean off in a direct attack against him as the wicked laughs of The Queen could be heard in the background.
With the two pitted against each other, would Micheal learn to properly use his seal, or would he be doomed to failure this early in the game? Only time would tell.
(Note: If you are in a fight from this point onward, feel free to call me up and I will give you advice on how to properly deal with it as I train you. Sooner or later, you'll see what both she and I mean.)
