~The Light In The Darkness~ {Hayabusa}(Sennin Uprising)(Stat Pool)

Hayabusa jumped through Time and Space… or so he thought… as he appeared somewhere slightly familiar. He looked at his skin and it had been the black snake like skin that his alter ego had been familiar to. He had been in the territory of the snakes. He had been summoned here. He looked at the many snakes that stood there before him. He raised his eyebrow.
“What is the meaning of this?” Hayabusa asked.
“Lord Shadow… it is time…” Naxa began. Hayabusa raised his eyebrow.
“Time for what, exactly?” he asked. The snakes began to look at each other.

“Time… for you to undergo you training as the Sage of the Black Serpents…” he said. Hayabusa, once again, raised his eyebrow. But in disbelief. More power? This could’ve been due to the discovery of how to begin using Nature Chakra. Hayabusa nodded.
“Alright…” he said, as he sat with his legs crossed. He performed a few seals and made clones all around him. They all sat as well. Hayabusa looked at the snakes, tentatively. From behind, he could see something slivering in the grass. It came from the far end, and began to get closer and closer to Hayabusa.

From out of the works came a slender looking snake that actually had red hair coming from its whiskers. It actually also had small limbs attached to it a few places along its body.
“Young Hayabusa…” he said. Hayabusa cocked his head to the side. This snake was slightly different. It had white skin, rather than black. And he acknowledged him as Hayabusa instead of Shadow… there was something very different about this one snake.
“Sir…” he said in response.
“I am one of the elders… Yang Serpent. One of two that is.” He said as he moved slightly closer.

“I’m sure you can guess what the other one is…” he said, with a chuckle. “Go on… guess…” he said. Hayabusa raised an eyebrow.
“Yin…” he said.
“AH HA!” he proclaimed. “We have a smart one it seems…” he said. “Now… listen here whipper snapper… Nature Chakra…. Collecting it could be very dangerous if you don’t balance it right. However… we saw how fast you combined your two elements to make sand in a matter of moments. We are impressed… and I think its time for that body of yours to take on an extra ability to make you stronger.”

“Ok…” he said. He looked at all of the snakes around him. Yang did the same, and the lot of them all scattered to handle their own business. He then looked back at Hayabusa. The snake stood up like a being on its middle limbs. With his front limbs, he performed a seal. Right around him, he performed a seal that also made clones. Each of them scurried to each of Hayabusa’s clones. Hayabusa and Yang looked at each other, and said absolutely nothing. The clones began to explain to the Hayabusa clones about the way this works very effectively.

“So…” one conversation began. “You are obviously good at mixing the two. The hard part is mixing the two in a balanced state. You have chakra within you, and you have chakra around you. You have to learn to bring the two together without so much as one percentage off. Or, you will begin to… how do I put this lightly… implode into a more natural existence.”
“What do you mean…” the Hayabusa clone began. “What do you mean by natural existence…” he said.
“Oh…” he began to chuckle. “You’ll see…” This was a very unsettling thing to actually hear.

“That doesn’t sound too good but… ok…” he said. He closed his eyes and began to visualize al the chakra that had been around his body. He sighed, as he felt the chakra within him. As he tried to merge them, Hayabusa could feel the burning of his skin. He opened his eyes and he could see his skin beginning to turn scaled like that of a lizard. He then could feel his bones burning. It was as if they were melting away. He slowly began to limp almost like goo… rather… just skin and muscle like these black snakes.

Just then, he turned into stone. After a long pause, when all looked at him, including the original Hayabusa and Yang, the clone vanished.
“Oh yea…” Yang said, before cracking up in his own laughter. “I forgot to mention one thing…” he said. Hayabusa looked back at him with a raised eyebrow.
“Ya think?” he asked.
“Well yea… there is obviously no coming back from that…” he told Hayabusa. Hayabusa sighed.
“How is it I get recruited to do all of the dangerous things…” he said out loud.
“He he he…. Sorry kiddo. That’s what you signed up for youngling.”

“Yea… what I signed up for…” he said. It was the sarcasm in his tone of voice that made it obvious to the elderly snake with legs.
“Now now… you and Shadow are one… You are the Yang to his Yin and vice-versa… there will come a time where the two must merge… but that will be saved for another day it seems. We have more pressing matters…” he said, as some of the clones began to implode behind them. Hayabusa turned to see only about half of his clones had been left to use for this kind of thing.

Some of them were simply scaled. He felt with these clones that he was losing, their knowledge came back to him, and he began figuring out the difference between what they were doing right and what they were doing wrong. He sat there and waited for the last man standing. None of them mastered this art at all, which made Hayabusa disappointed in himself. He looked at all of the Yang clones, who waited there, looking at the last one. The last one opened his eyes to reveal a red eye with a slit going down it, like a snake.
