For those who follow the actual story of the celestial zone, can you guess which part of the story am i at now?

"Wait a minute, you are telling me that you are the son of The Terminator? But why didn't my family database have any records of this?" Mira asked.

"Dad knew it was dangerous for me if anyone aside from the organization found out. And besides, we are not really blood related." J.Jay answered.

"So do you know how he terminates ESPers?" Ryu asked excitedly.

"I'm sorry Ryu, I do know but i am not going to reveal the secret unless Dad decides to tell you himself. He would be arriving to Singapore soon." J.Jay answered apologetically.

"Oh, I see. Well, I respect that." Ryu said.

"Ah, I am sorry to intrude but may I request a match with all of you?" Kakushi suddenly requested.

All eyes were on her.

"Are you sure? I mean, Jay here just treated your injuries last night." Ryu asked worriedly.

Kakushi nodded.

"Of course it wont be now. a few days later I suppose. I will visit soon. But I need to take my leave now." she said bowing. J.Jay bowed back.

After Kakushi left and everyone had settled down, J.Jay asked.

"You all aren't angry I kept this from you?"

"Not at all. After all, something like this cannot be revealed so easily. I understand." Mira replied.

"I agree. I won't have believed you in the first place." Ryu answered.

A few days later, Kakushi arrived for the match. They found a large secluded area and prepared to fight. Kakushi explained that it would be a one on one fight. Naturally it would span across a couple of days. Also, she explained that Achilles requested this match as a test for J.Jay's abilities and also his friends as a added bonus.

J.Jay was up first. Decided to start the ball rolling, he did not waste any time. Instantly, he activated his abilities and the mark of Libra appeared. In a flash, he had closed the distance between him and Kakushi. His right arm poised for an uppercut, he shouted as he executed the attack.

"Rozan Sho Ryu Ha!!"

Kakushi flipped back with incredible agility, feeling the wave of energy as it raised into the sky. Looking up, she saw an image of a dragon rising into the sky. I don't dare to imagine what would have happened to me if it actually connected. But now, a moments distraction could prove dangerous, she quickly counter attacked by firing several ESP shurikens at J.Jay.

Unable to get away in time, J.Jay took several shurikens head on. Shit, Sho Ryu Ha is a move that leaves me open for 2 seconds if the move does not connect. That's what I get for being careless. Getting back on his feet he was met with another onslaught of shurikens from Kakushi. Thinking fast, he activated another ability.

The sign of Virgo appeared.

"Kan!!" J.Jay shouted, placing his palms together.

In a flash of pink light which formed into a giant lotus bud enveloped J.Jay and began to bloom, its petals spreading outwards deflecting the shurikens away. Changing to long ranged tactics, J.Jay opened his palms, a ball of energy forming while the lotus barrier still stood as Kakushi fired shurikens again and again in an attempt to find a weak spot.

Cupping his hands in a meditative stance, the lotus barrier quickly reformed into an energy being shaped like a virgin on a horse. With a sword in hand, it dashed towards Kakushi.

"Tenma Kofuku!!" J.Jay shouted.

Nimbly, Kakushi avoided the attacks of the energy being and managing to swivel to its back, fired shurikens at both the being and J.Jay. Prepared, J.Jay dodged the shurikens while the being got pin cushioned with shurikens. Undeterred, the energy being turned around and continued swinging its sword at Kakushi.

Seeing as there is no other way, Kakushi had to use her Vacuum Sword Play to hack the energy being into pieces. Turning to J.Jay, she launched a full scale attack of slashes every where. Before long, J.Jay, being incapable of keeping up with the speed of attacks was cut many times.

Knowing that this would eventually result in his loss, he changed abilities again. This time, the Mark of Capricorn appeared. Knowing full well by now that a different sign meant some new ability, Kakushi attempted to slash J.Jay from over head to finish the match. In a surprise move, J.Jay raised his left arm as if to shield himself from the attack.

Unable to stop now, Kakushi feared that she would hack off J.Jay's arm. As the attack connected, Kakushi felt her Vacuum Sword hit something hard. Moving back, she saw that J.Jay's arm was still intact where his sleeve was cut by the Vacuum Sword.

"Excalibur..." J.Jay quietly spoke as he swung his right arm in a vertical arc at Kakushi.

Sensing something not right, Kakushi instinctively stepped to one side. Hearing a loud snap, she turned to see the tree standing behind her had split into half. Looking closer, she saw that the split was not natural, it was cut by something.

Excalibur...he has even got a weapon like attack, incredible. However, it has many flaws... Kakushi thought as she turned back to face J.Jay as he swung his limbs, sending waves of Excalibur at Kakushi who blocked them with her Vacuum Sword.

As J.Jay moved for another attack, Kakushi stopped the match.

"Enough. You have done very well in developing your powers but they have many flaws. The biggest flaw is that your attacks are too flashy. Before you begin, if your opponents have seen the attack before, they would be prepared for it. The other big flaw is that You can only use one style at a time and you are too slow in changing styles. Had we fought on, I may have been able to catch your timing and struck you when you were the most vulnerable." she commented.

"Yeah, I am working to speed up the transition from constellation to constellation. But...I never thought of the first flaw at all. All the while I have never had to face the same opponent twice...I have to put more thought to it." J.Jay acknowledged.

Kakushi nodded.

"Good, you have not let teacher down. He had high hopes for your progress and I am sure he would be pleased to know of your achievement."

While heading back, the 3 of them had discussions on how to improve on J.Jay's flaws. In the next couple of days, Mira and Ryu both had a match with Kakushi as well and the 3 of them eventually were able to develop new upgrades to improve their powers.

Then Kakushi said she had to meet an important person and left. The same day, J.Jay received word from Achilles that he had already arrived in Singapore and would try to find time to visit as soon as possible.
