Previously on... what's the name of this series again? Anyway, it's Hakuna's birthday, and the gang just tried to get water on his head, a practice that is also a way to kill people where Hakuna comes from. And so, some things are gonna happen, a lot of them.
A Battle of Pressures
Hakuna and Freddie are seen in their fighting stances, the air crackling with an almost tangible tension. They stand at a distance, their feet ready to launch them forward, their auras rippling with a contained power.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Hakuna asks, a mix of genuine concern and dramatic excitement in his voice.Freddie, declares, "You're not going anywhere unless you get wet..."
"Hmm, well then..." the prince relents, a dangerous smirk spreading across his face. The glow in his eyes begins to intensify, a tell-tale sign of his power flaring up. Just as Freddie begins to move, intending to rush forward, Hakuna unleashes his power.
"Kihimurra; Atmospheric Burst..."
A large, invisible pressure is suddenly exerted from Hakuna's body, a shockwave of energy that pushes everyone back. The grass flattens, the students stumble, and a cloud of dust billows around them. But something is strange, something is completely out of place: Super doesn't budge. He stands his ground, a calm, unwavering force against the storm.
"Energy Manipulation, way too easy..." Super says, his voice flat and unimpressed. He then releases the exact same amount of pressure as Hakuna. The two opposing forces meet in the middle, a perfect, silent clash of wills. They both disperse, the energies neutralizing each other in a flash of light.
"Is this the fight we've been waiting for?" Hakuna says, the dramatic excitement now plastered on his face."No, that guy's gonna fight you..." Super says flatly, pointing to Hakuna's right.
Hakuna turns, but before he can even react, Freddie landed a punch on Hakuna. It connects with a sickening thud, but Hakuna doesn't flinch. He stands there, his body completely unharmed, as if he hadn't even been touched.
Everyone is surprised, their eyes wide with shock. The first ever to land a punch on Hakuna, and it was Freddie? Was he losing his touch?
"He landed a punch? Unbelievable..." Enzo says in shock, his mind reeling from the impossible sight.
Freddie, seeing his opening, prepares his second attack on Hakuna, a punch aimed at the face.
But before he knew it, Hakuna has already moved. With a terrifying speed, he grabs Freddie's head and bashes it into the ground, a loud thud echoing through the schoolyard.
We still have to remember, Hakuna's energy is always unstable on his birthday, and so he can't really hold back even if he wanted to on this day. He was a ticking time bomb of power. Super thinks to himself frantically, "What in the blazes was that? Is he taking this seriously? Darn, I guess I have to join in..."
He then launches himself towards Hakuna, a streak of light and power. "This is definitely getting interesting, COME ON!" Hakuna roars, a primal challenge that thrilled him to his core. As they were about to clash, their fists ready to meet in a cataclysmic collision, someone caught their fists.
A Subtle Warning
A figure stands between them, their hands held out, their expression cold and devoid of emotion. "Who in the hell are you?" Super questions, a mix of anger and bewilderment in his voice.
Sehloho, dark and monotone, responds, "I am someone who you should never speak to in such a tone..." He then releases a great pressure, an energy that overwhelms Super and blows the dust away, leaving him gasping for air. "This pressure, this guy is just too much," the boy thinks to himself, humbled by the sheer power of the man.
"What brings you here?" Hakuna asks, his voice a calm interruption to the standoff.
"A warning..." Sehloho replies flatly.The glow in Hakuna's eyes starts to fade away, his body relaxing. "A warning? What warning?" he asks.
Sehloho asks, "Do you know why you never train or spar on your birthday?""I always thought it was because, well, it's my birthday..." Hakuna replies, his tone reflecting his genuine belief.
Sehloho begins to explain. "No. On your birthday, your energy concentration reaches an all-time high. In such events, your energy becomes unstable, causing you to destroy everything in your way, unknowingly. So do not fight anyone today, or they will die..."
"Way to be subtle about things, darn Sehloho..." Hakuna says, sarcastically.
Sehloho replies, still ignorant of the sarcasm, "What? I was being subtle..."
No, he wasn't.
"Well, I already figured the unstable energy part out, but 'certain death' wasn't really in the picture..." Hakuna says, now aware of his power's terrifying instability.
Sehloho then warns him, "Hmm, so do not partake in any training, fighting, or like you say, demon killing..."
"How did he know that?" Hakuna thought to himself. He then says out loud, "Alright, fine... I won't be fighting today..."
"Good..." Sehloho concludes, flying away and leaving behind a huge dust cloud.
"Your family has never been one for subtlety, have they?" Super interjects.
Hakuna, not noticing Super speaks, thinks to himself, "He's always so weird, hmm..."
Immediately, a demon appears on the other side of the school, its monstrous roar echoing through the grounds. The intercom system blares, "WARNING! A Level 5 Demon has appeared on the Biology Court. DDF Teams are deployed without restriction effective immediately..."
"Just my luck..." Hakuna blurts out sarcastically.
Super chimes in, "Relax, you dolt, we were taking care of demons long before you were..." That was literally two months ago, what an exaggerator.
Hakuna mentions worriedly, "You said you never dealt with a Level 5 before..."
"Well then, I guess we'll have to make it work somehow..." Super responds confidently.
They all leap in the direction of the danger, and Hakuna stays behind, his mind reeling from his brother's warning. Hakuna sighs, "This is the worst time for a demon to attack the school..."
Psycha begins to speak, her voice echoing in his mind. "No one told you this, but there is a way for you to stabilize your power, or better yet, let me stabilize it..."
"Let me guess, I have to use your power instead of mine?" The boy denotes.
Psycha replies, "Well, yes, but no. I can work on stabilizing your power while you use mine. A win-win situation if you ask me..." Hakuna then sits on the ground to start his meditation.
He sighs, "Alright, fine, let's do this..."
Hakuna's aura is different. It wasn't transparent like before. It has a purple shade to it, the energy crackling with a new, alien force. "Alright, do your thing, Prince Hakuna..." the demon says.
Hakuna declares, "Here goes nothing..." As he opens his eyes, they go from their normal brown to a piercing yellow, with a bright glow.
The Final Showdown
Meanwhile...
At the scene...
Freddie is seen attempting to throw a punch at the demon. It slaps him away with its tail, sending him flying across the court.
"There's no way this is a Level 5. They must've gotten the readings wrong..." Super denies, his voice filled with a mix of shock and disbelief.
The Intercom System then blares once more, "Correction, this is not a level 5 demon. There was a mistake with the readings. This is a level 8 demon, the highest we've ever faced. All students, please distance yourselves. Teachers will now handle the scene..."
"Darn, do I really have to be right all the time?" Super scoffs sarcastically.
I really thought that was a Level 5...
Anyway...
"There's no way I can handle that in the state I'm in..." Master Mokoto says, tired after fighting Hakuna and still having to use more of his power to fix his class.
"It's all just pointless. More are gonna come anyway..." Mr. Muyane voices dismissively.
Everyone stood defeated against the Level 8 Demon. No one knew what to do. The demon then roars, the pressure caused by its sound storming around the school.
Bodega realizes, "Where are Rems and MXO?" They didn't realize that these guys left a long time ago.
The demon charges a blast in its mouth. "What in the blazes is that?" Super stammers.
"We've never seen that before..." Enzo states, his face pale with fear. The demon was ready to fire its blast. It fires...
Just as it lands, Hakuna appears in front of everyone and vaporizes the blast, the purple energy of his aura consuming the attack.
Psycha comments, "What a showoff..."
His aura, a raging purple, his eyes with a yellow glow, and his hands look like they're on fire. Hakuna, recognizing how unstable Daemonium is, mutters, "Darn, this power is too unstable to use without mastery..."
The level 8 demon screeches in response to Hakuna's arrival. Hakuna then launches himself at the demon with overwhelming speed. He prepares to land a punch. Weirdly, the demon also throws a punch.
"Looks like we're gonna see if you can handle my power or not..." the demon Psycha says with anticipation.
Hakuna, almost instinctively, says, "Don't underestimate me, Kihimurra; Fist of Inferno!"
Hakuna's punch, shrouded in flames, destroyed the right top side of the demon. He prepares for his second attack.
The Level 8 Demon groans in pain. "Still standing?" Hakuna questions cheekily. His fingertips then start to glow, as they are covered in energy. He yells out, "Kihimurra; Concentrated Atmospheric Burst!" Hakuna, pointing his arm towards the demon, vaporizes it immediately, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Psycha chimes in, "Great timing. Your energy is stabilized. You can relax now..."
"Oh, great..." the boy says. Hakuna's eyes return to their brown colour and the purple aura fades away.
Psycha denotes, "Hmm, seemingly I underestimated you, not bad given that your predecessor was your FATHER..."
"I'm always so full of surprises..." Hakuna responds confidently.
"Time and time again you skyrocket in power..." Enzo states.
Hakuna, knowing what it was, says, "I don't really think it's gonna be like this the whole time. Remember, my energy is unstable today, so I used that to my advantage..."
Super voices in envy, "Always so humble, it's disgusting..."
Hakuna replies, "I'm surprised you didn't do anything at all. You were able to handle my unstable energy, didn't even flinch, but why do you never attack demons..."
Super warns, "Don't ask questions you don't want answers to..."
The Underworld
Meanwhile...
In the Underworld...
Sparta senses a shift. "Hmm, he has used the Power of Psycha, interesting..."
Merca snarls, "Damn it, I really wanted him to use it against me... I wanted to see the difference in our strengths..."
Sparta then beckons, "Relax, your time will come, my pet. He will know how to properly use The Power of Psycha, and when he does, we will have the chance to fulfil my creator's purpose for me, to kill The Peripheral Psycha and her host..."
Arkhagos, the ruler of the underworld, enters. "Well, my children, from the looks of it, you will have your chance sooner than anticipated..."
Fade out...
