Akira Tanaka

Name: Akira Tanaka
Alias(es): "BG"
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Race: Human (was once a half-demon-angel)
Height: 5'07"
Weight: 110 lbs.
Armor (if any): None
Weapons (if any): Sword that has two sides: a Light Side (which allows it to use Light Attacks), and a Dark Side (which allows it to use Dark Attacks). The side chosen depends on the mood of the user. Sword will glow white for Light, and glow a deep crimson if Dark.
Physical Attacks: Can throw powerful punches and kicks; was trained in the ways of martial arts when he was young.
Magical attacks: Sword can create reactions in the air that allow attacks to travel distances -- normally a good 100 feet -- without the sword ever touching the opponent. (Sword can transfer magic powers through the air. Powers differ on strength of wielder.)

Weaknesses: Almost anything a normal human would hate (though he has more resistance against them). Light attacks do fair amount of damage, as do other magical attacks (except those related to Darkness).
Appearance: Of decent height; charcoal-black hair that is somewhat untamed; emerald-green eyes that seem to glow at night; wears a black shirt with a simple white "bolt" streaking down the middle, and matching black pants.
Personality: Quiet, but enjoys engaging in conversation; prefers not to fight unless circumstances allow no other options; hates people that enjoy causing pain on others, and will bring justice to them if need be; somewhat naive.
Family (if any): Father - Keiji Tanaka (deceased); mother - Serena Tanaka (deceased); Noll Tanaka (older brother, deceased); Boswell Tanaka (older brother, twin of Noll, deceased); Sari Tanaka (younger sister)
History/Bio: Akira Tanaka has a long history behind him -- and was once regarded as the Earth's savior.
Akira was the third born in the family known as the Tanaka's -- the father being a demon, and the mother being an angel. During the period when his parents met, Angels and Demons were at war on the Earth. However, this pair fell in love, and as the war came to an end with no victor proclaimed, the pair married and settled down together. Eventually, the couple had two sons -- the twins Boswell and Noll. Almost fifteen years later, the couple would have another son: Akira. And, finally, one more. Akira's sister, Sari. During Sari's birth, Boswell and Noll had grown to become troubled young men, getting into things that brought their parents pain. Because of this, Sari turned out to be a half-demon, and she was so ruthless towards her parents that she was set up for adoption (during the adoption period, Sari calmed and the demon supposedly left her).
During this time period when Akira was growing up as a child, his father -- Keiji -- was going through a life crisis. Demons had learned of his whereabouts, and were going to kill off his entire family and torture him for the rest of his life for marrying an angel (something that was strictly against a demon's code). Akira's mother, Serena, found out about this, and dropped off the young Akira at a begotten dojo in Tokyo, Japan, where her son would spend the next several years hiding from the maddening father.
To prevent his inevitable punishment, Keiji killed Serena. Boswell and Noll were on vacation during this time, and when they heard news of their mother's death they came running back home. Keiji deceived them and told them she had been murdered by an unknown perpetrator. Keiji consoled his sons, and went in secret to look for the lost Akira. Finally finding him in the dojo, Keiji allowed his son to live as he couldn't find it in his heart to kill him. As a memento, he gave Akira a "birthday gift" -- his sword, the same one used to kill Serena.
Years passed, and Keiji was again founded by the demons he had been running from for years so to escape trial. This drove Keiji insane, and he was forced to find Akira again. During this time, Akira was being trained by the man he would come to know as "Sensei."
When a certain night fell, Sensei ushered Akira out of the dojo to run away, as he saw Keiji (along with Boswell and Noll) approaching the house with the intent of killing Akira. Needless to say, Sensei and Keiji fought, but as the fight was near conclusion, Keiji killed Boswell and Noll, and proceeded with burning the dojo down to the ground, bringing Sensei down with it. With more fuel added to his unquenchable fire for death, Keiji sought out Akira, who had traveled to the outskirts of Tokyo. Lost and bewildered, and seeing his Sensei die before his very eyes, Akira collapsed just outside the city, his sword still in his hands...

By morning, he was in a house, being cared for by a happy, rich young couple. The man's name was Greg, who was well-known in Tokyo for being a retired miner, while the wife was known as Bianca. Akira quickly formed a relationship with the couple, and would stay with them for several more years.
At this point, Keiji had been captured by his fellow demons and was standing trial... but had managed to redeem himself for killing off a majority of his family. He was released several years later after completing his term, and went out again to find Akira...

When Akira was 17, he received a gift from Greg. It was the sword he had had with him as a child. Greg told Akira that he had hidden it off for years because he wasn't sure if Akira was ready for it. But, in the end, he gave it back to "the rightful owner". Then, as an added gift, he brought Akira outside and whistled. With that whistle, a giant, half-man half-bird creature flew down from the skies. Greg called the creature "Garuda," whom he had found during one of his mining expeditions. He explained that when he found Garuda, it "clung to him like a kitten" and would not allow anyone else to harm him. Because Garuda would never leave him, and as it was an ancient creature and would possibly be a threat (unless tamed), he was given big bucks to keep the creature a secret (which explains his wealth). Only three people know of Garuda: Greg, Bianca (before they were married, Greg shared his secret about Garuda to her, but she learned to accept it), and now Akira.
Greg gave Garuda to him to be a new "pet" (but Akira saw him more of a friend), and Garuda has seen Akira as his new master eversince.
A tragic day fell Akira, and that day was the same day after he received the sword. It had been wrapped in brown wrapping paper, and after unwrapping it and holding it for the first time, the darkness within Akira (as he was a half-demon, inherited by his father) finally awakened. The demon took over Akira's actions, and by doing so it killed Bianca and Greg, and destroyed their home. This also beaconed Keiji, as he was able to sense Akira's newfound demonic powers.
After gaining control of himself, and seeing the bloodshed he had caused to his family, Akira fled the world. He found himself on a mountain (Mt. Fuji), and was followed by Garuda. Taking precautions for Garuda's safety, Akira sealed Garuda away within a chamber in the mountain, telling the guardian "not to answer to anyone except him, whenever that would be", "do not mention a word of my past whenever... if I ever wake up and find you unless I ask you to speak," and to "wait for him no matter how long it takes." Garuda did as he was commanded, silencing himself and sealing himself inside the mountain, awaiting the day his master would return to free him.
Akira traveled higher up the mountain, and after finding a suitable cavern, he, too, sealed himself. Then he prepped for a meditation that -- he hoped -- would erase his memories, and rid him of the demon.
Before he started, he pulled out of his pocket a picture he had always carried with him, a picture of Bianca and Greg that he treasured. On the back of the picture was written:
BIANCA
Greg
in their handwriting. Akira could not look at their faces, so he flipped the picture and kept it beside him. The sword he had placed right beside the picture would also remain idle.

Then the years began to pass...................

One scream from a nightmare and many years later, Akira Tanaka reawakens from his slumbering state. Suffering from amnesia and not knowing what to do with himself, Akira tries to get himself together as he notices by his side a well-crafted (but aging) sword, and... a picture. The front of the picture was completely erased (due to age), and the back of it was slightly smudged. There appeared to be handwriting, but the only letters Akira could make out were "B" and "G". Not even knowing who he was, from that moment onward Akira referred to himself as "BG", not knowing that the letters stood for two people he loved.
Escaping the tavern, he made his way down the mountain -- picture and sword in hand. He eventually stumbled across a cave (as he was directly above it to begin with), and by a stroke of luck, resummoned an old friend he didn't remember: Garuda. The divine beast took to Akira lovingly, although "BG" did not know who Garuda was. Because of this, Garuda never spoke as he was ordered to.
After guiding his master away from Mt. Fuji and towards civilization, Akira (or "BG") found himself at an inn in the outskirts of Tokyo, and because of his loss of memory the manager of the place let him live there (in exchange for daily duties).
About a year later, BG was adopted by a kind old man he called his "uncle." And since then, BG's new life had been leading pretty good. The uncle was rich, and had miraculously managed to get BG into college (though he was picked on by other collegues for a time for such an awkward name).

BG's life went pleasently. Garuda would stop by occassionally at night and check on his master, then depart. The uncle, too, would make frequent visits, as he had lost his wife some years ago and was alone by himself in Tokyo. And the manager of the inn checked on BG now and again. For some reason, the boy never left the inn, even when requested by his uncle to go to his place.

At the age of 22, almost 5 years after he awoke in the mountain side, BG was preparing for class the following morning (as it was the weekend) and he had just started up his computer to chat to some college buddies online, when out of the blue a portal formed within the monitor and sucked him in. Unbeknownst to him, an amazing new adventure would unfold, and his life would ultimately change from then on.

BG, after awakening from his transportation (and coincidentally hanging onto his sword), found himself on a vast, beautiful island in the middle of an endless ocean. There, he met many people. One of them, named Warrier1 (or "Eric") befriended BG after taking a dislike of him, as Warrier1 thought of BG as "the enemy". What BG didn't know was that on the island, a war was going on between to sides: the side BG was on was led by a young man named Demon Eye, and the other side being led by Husher, a confused but honorable man who only wanted best for his side.
One death of a leader and the freedom of his captives later, BG was on a morning walk up a mountain of the island (the only mountain of the island) to visit the graves of those who had fallen... when a strange old wizard appeared, and gave him a "gift." The gift happened to be a stone made of ice, which BG dubbed the Ice Stone. And after a freak accident some days later left him in a coma, he found himself in a mansion, where people who have lost themselves on the road of life come to retrace their steps and follow the path they were destined to follow.
In his stay, BG gained the trust and love of eight beautiful women (and the strange companionship of an alcoholic man), and during this time period he enjoyed himself, but missed his new friends on the island and back home in Tokyo. When the time came for BG to leave, he used his Ice Stone to bring the women -- and the mysterious mansion -- out of wherever it resided (what the mansion owner considered a "parallel dimension").

And that's where his adventures truly began.
BG found himself in scheme after scheme: A notorious alien from the reaches of outer space had come to Earth to collect the "Elemental Stones", which had been scattered across the world by the old wizard -- the old wizard that gave BG his Ice Stone. After all the stones had assembled -- coincidentally on the island, and inside the mansion -- the mansion returned to its other-worldy realm, where the alien gave chase. (During this point in time, Garuda had managed to find the island and escape with BG and the rest of the mansion's residents.) The alien sent two powerful monsters into the realm of the mansion, where a stronger BG and many of his companions (SlimeyX, Muigi, Warrier1, M.O.A., Neo Link, Dark, Master Yoshi, Elio, Garuda, and a mysterious masked warrior from another world... just to name a few) clashed in a bloody battle... and during the battle, Warrier1's sword unlocked an awesome power: when all the stones were placed in specific openings in the side of the sword, they would fuse together their powers and unleash a devastating surge of energy! In the end, BG's side prevailed, and the plot of the evil alien seemed to come to an end... But, in fact, this only fueled the evil alien's desires to regain his lost Elemental Stones, and recreated an army of clones of his fallen monsters...
Before the alien entered the realm of the mansion, however, a dark entity known as Dark Boss had come to the mansion to find a lost "friend": Muigi. Muigi's darker self, dubbed Dark Muigi, had originally killed off Muigi's family, and Muigi had been running from his darker embodiment all his life. Only recently when coming to the island and the mansion was he able to rest. With Dark Boss, Dark Muigi, and an assassin calling himself Dark Spark came to murder Muigi and the rest of the mansion residents, Warrier1 stepped in to the challenge, to face off against the assassinator Dark Spark. The duel went on, and it ended in a tie -- with both Dark Spark and Warrier1 killed in an explosion. Hearing the mourning of their strong ally, a god-like force from above allowed Warrier1 to return to the world of the living, and he was allowed to bring another with him from the dead. Warrier1 picked Husher, and Husher was transported back to the island (as Warrier1 and Husher had been the best of friends before they became brutal foes during the war).
With Warrier1 alive and well, an unwary team of mansion residents thought the defeat of Dark Boss would cause him to run off... Instead, they were greeted by an old friend: the evil alien, and he had brought his army of cloned monsters with him! Luckily, unknown to the alien, a band of people had infultrated his alien ship and had weakened the clones "by accident." The team consisted of a gorgeous but hot-headed young lady, her bodyguard (whom she called a "military maniac"), and a wandering swordsman who was once a ruthless killer. The three joined forces with BG's team against the clones, and the clones were defeated easily. Not one to give up, the alien sent out his trump card: a massive crystalized beast with telekinetic powers, brought in from a black hole...
As a handful of the fighters took on the space beast, Warrier1 (leading a group of the fighters, including BG and the mysterious masked warrior from another world) breached the alien ship, and reached the core to destroy the aliens once and for all. However, they were greeted by none other than the ship's commander, and he and the masked warrior fought on another. But a certain mishap caused the core to malfunction, and the ship was due to self-destruct! Pulling out all his friends, BG watched in sorrow as the ship exploded with the masked warrior still inside... however, a lone pod managed to escape just in time!
As the team reassembled (because the space beast had been knocked unconscious due to the massive explosion), the lone pod opened and revealed... the alien commander! He taunted BG, stating how the masked warrior was a coward and lost to his might, and in the end the alien commander had won. Fueled by nothing but rage, BG began a startling transformation: he became a demon! With his half-demon side awakened at last, BG killed the alien commander in a short and brutal battle. BG even went so far as to take down the space beast with his tremendous power! However, when BG saw the sword of the masked warrior in the debris of the ship, he blacked out...

Some time later, after the space beast was killed and BG had gone back to his senses (not remembering a thing of his transformation), two more women entered the scene: both were sisters, and one of them was actually the lover of the fighter Master Yoshi. (The other sister eventually formed a relationship with Neo Link, one of BG's closer friends.) And during this same time, another event occurred: an overweight plumber and his brother, followed by a blue hedgehog and a fox, had entered the mansion... along with a yellow-capped man who was accompanied by a skinny, purple-capped man; an enormous turtle with an attitude (and a grudge against the plumbers); and an egg-shaped, scientific genious (with a grudge against the speedy hedgehog and fox). The odd group of individuals made their reasons for being in the mansion clear: there was a rip in the dimensions, and someone -- or something -- was throwing all realms out of whack! By finding the mansion via the eggman's equipment (they homed in on the mansion due to the strength of the Elemental Stones), they hoped to find the reason... but all of them were left pondering once again, as it wasn't the mansion ripping the dimensions apart.
As the days went on, one of the mansion's women discovered a hidden room in the mansion. One lever pull later, the mansion became infested with horrible creatures that BG and his team fought valiantly against. Their only hope was to untrigger the flow of creatures by putting the lever back to its rightful position, which they were able to do, and by doing so, the blue hedgehog, the fox, the plumbers, the capped men, the turtle and the eggman disappeared...
But that wasn't the end of it. Before anyone knew it, a huge black tower came out from under the ground, and stood erect before the mansion. The tower was owned by none other than Dark Boss, who made the tower specifically for the fighters, and requested that they come, or else "everyone will die." Not backing down from his challenge, the band of warriors -- BG, Warrier1, Muigi, Neo Link, SlimeyX, Dark, Master Yoshi, and Elio -- made their way into the tower. There were rooms for each of the men to separate into, and each had to fight their own individual battles.
Before long, the group was rejoined (and they were even rejuvenated by a certain nurse and an pink, egg-hoistering creature)... and together, they conquered the tower till they reached the summit, where Dark Boss and Dark Muigi awaited them. Little did any of them know, another person was with them...

Reaching the tower's peak, a storm brewed, and a new battle was about to begin. Dark Boss explained the reason he wanted to fight the fighters: he wanted to retrieve the Elemental Stones. In secret, he had been watching them during their many battles against the alien, even going so far as to spy on them when fighting the monsters! He saw what powers the stones possessed, and he craved such powers. He also explained that he had been in contact with a certain man, who had been a "friend" of the alien. If it weren't for that man, Dark Boss would have never found the stones. The man... turned out to be BG's long-lost father! Because he was a demon, BG's father -- Keiji -- still looked as young as he did in the past... over 70 years ago! Keiji stepped in and said he had been searching for BG for almost 70 years, but had no luck as he couldn't trace his powers anywhere (because BG was trapped in the mountain). Only when BG held his sword again from reawakening from his slumber was he able to pinpoint his location... but even then, it was almost impossible to find him, as BG's powers had faded due to all the years of meditation.
After BG had reached the island, Keiji "joined forces" with the eager alien commander, and the two tried to get the stones -- and BG. However, Keiji found the alien commander unsuitable for such a task (when he failed against BG's crew when his monsters were destroyed), so he made an allegiance with Dark Boss. Keiji served both sides -- that is, until the alien commander was killed by BG. Then Keiji took to hiding, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
After the death of Dark Spark, Keiji became the new replacement, and suggested that they lure the mansion's fighters into one final duel. Using his dark powers, Dark Boss created the tower -- and that is where everything connected.
Keiji even went so far as to explain BG's past, being born of an angel and a demon, and what happened to him -- even mentioning he had a sister somewhere in the world! Then Keiji said his name: Akira. And at that moment, both BG and Keiji's powers began to awaken... and both started their demonic transformations. However, because Keiji was used to using his powers, he was able to transform first, into a twenty-foot-tall behemoth with is eyes set on killing his son, and taking his powers once and for all! As Akira struggled to complete his transformation (even battling himself in his mind against his demon), Keiji used an incredible beam of energy against his son, to steal his powers...
Then Neo Link stepped in.
One misdirected blast and the sacrifice of Neo Link later, BG snapped. He grabbed his sword, which began glowing a deep crimsion, and fought against his father. The other fighters went against the team of Dark Boss and Dark Muigi, and the epic battle ensued... Blood was spilled, and Dark Boss was eventually defeated, with Dark Muigi retreated. BG continued to battle against his crazed father, and as each side began to weaken, BG was able to find an opening in his father's defenses -- and killed the power-hungry demon once and for all. Upon doing so, his sword shattered, and the gateway to Heaven opened... where BG saw his mother for the first time in many, many years. After a touching reunion with his mother, two older brothers, Neo Link and the masked warrior, and even Bianca and Greg, BG forgave his father for what he had done against him, as he saw in his father a good that had been clouded by his demonic lust for power. Keiji's soul was set free, and he was able to enter Heaven. Also, BG's mother -- Serena -- gave him a special orb, tellling him that the orb held his powers, both demonic and angelic (though BG had yet to tap into his angelic side). BG treasured the orb from then on, and saw his family off... but was unable to find out who, or where, his long-lost sister was.

A funeral was held for Neo Link and Keiji, and life continued for the heroes...

Finally, a day came when BG -- Akira -- was once again allowed to leave the mansion once and for all. The first time BG was allowed to leave, he had used the Ice Stone to bring everyone out of the mansion. But, as the mansion's caretaker put it, "the mansion wasn't going to be as careless as before." Fighting against his thoughts, Akira ultimately chose freedom... but he had forgotten a gift he recieved from one of the mansion's residents! (The same resident whom had pulled the lever earlier.) Going back into mansion grounds before its gates closed forever, the mansion grew impatient with Akira and had him swept out by force... but when Akira continued to refuse, the mansion struck down Akira with a bolt of powerful lightning... Akira eventually made it back into mansion grounds, but at a cost... His life... He died in the hands of one of the mansion women, the first woman he befriended there.

Almost a month later, Akira awakened... in his old room of the mansion! Piece by piece, it was explained that Akira was saved by the mansion's caretaker, but her condition was unknown.
Almost a month after escaping death, Akira confronted the mansion's caretaker once again -- the "mistress" of the mansion -- and was shocked to learn that she still wasn't fully recovered. As the maid put it bluntly, "she should have been okay by now." In a rage, Akira spitefully cursed the mansion... to which the mansion's caretaker was able to respond. And by doing so, her recovery picked up.
Some time later, Akira devised a plan to free everyone -- everyone -- from the mansion. And as the plan was set into motion, he was able to leave the confinements of the mansion... leaving behind the caretaker, one of the mansion's women who was once cursed by a demon, and the no-more-alcoholic man.

After over a month, Akira had built himself a new home in Tokyo, where all his fighter friends and mansion women could rest easily. Also, he became more into a relationship with one of the mansion women (named Yukina).
But his duties were not yet over. Akira managed to find the mansion once again (with the help of an old resident), and he was able to set free the once-demon-controlled woman resident, named Sari, and the mistress from her pact from the mansion. The three left the mansion with a new caretaker -- the sober, once-alcoholic man.
Upon their return, the person who had led Akira to the mansion (a man who had actually been in the mansion once, and formed a relationship with the mistress) became a frequent face among everyone. Eventually, some months later, the mistress and the man were wed... and some months after that, after Akira finished up his classes in college, he, too, was married to Yukina. All the women were able to find their families... except for Sari, and another woman named Yura (whom Akira's uncle adopted).

And life... continued..........

((Bio post was too long... Had to separate into two posts. Sorry!))

....continued......

As Akira's new life continued with his family and wife, one of the men from the island had managed to find Akira's new home, and kidnapped one of the men -- M.O.A. As a result, the fighters went off to retrieve their reckless friend... and were led back to the island.
And to their horror, they found that Dark Boss had enslaved the population of the island! Dark Boss was still alive and well (stating that the Dark Boss they faced in the mansion was nothing more than an "illusion"), and by his side was the not-so-loyal Dark Muigi, who was becoming fed up with Dark Boss's plans for power and world domination.
Akira's team fought their way across the island, and made it... to Dark Boss's resurrected tower! However, because of their heightened abilities over the past months, they easily made a "short-cut" to the top of the tower, and began the final showdown against Dark Boss. Even Muigi was willing to fight against his old nemesis, Dark Muigi, for the final confrontation.
But Dark Boss had other plans. He knew of Akira's orb (the one Akira's mother, Serena, had given him before she departed back to the afterlife), and seeing the powers it possessed, he scrapped his plan for the use of the Elemental Stones and instead redirected his attacks... towards Akira! But as Dark Boss explained his plans, he completely excluded Dark Muigi from being his second-in-command, even going so far as to say "I wouldn't need the help of lower-class fighters." Dark Muigi's alliance with Dark Boss broke, and Dark Muigi attacked his master.
But not if Dark Boss had anything to say about it.
Dark Boss then began a sudden transformation... into his most powerful form: Dark Lord. And with his newfound powers, he killed Dark Muigi almost as quickly as he had attacked. However, as Dark Lord confronted the fighters, Muigi pulled out one of them -- Elio -- and the two perfected a technique they had been testing while residing with Akira in Tokyo... Fusion! With a perfect style, the two became one powerful fighter: Muilio! And with the help of Akira's orb (which they absorbed some of the power of, as Akira was unable to tame its immense powers), they -- along with two monsters that had been residing on the island, hidden away -- struck down Dark Lord. But Dark Lord wasn't about to give up. And as he started to create an energy that would utterly annihilate the island and the fighters, the Spirits of the dead -- the lives that had been lost due to the war, when Akira (known as "BG") had just entered the island -- awakened, and they absorbed Dark Lord's powers. Because of this, Muilio was able to defeat Dark Lord once and for all, and the Spirits of the island were laid to rest.
Out of nowhere, two meteors fell from the sky... and in each meteor was brought two familiar faces: Dark Muigi and Neo Link were brought back to life! But everyone's celebrations were cut short when a liquid beast ascended from under the island's mountain, and attacked the fighters! However, a new group of fighters -- led by a man named Coulbe -- brought down the liquid beast, and saved the islanders from a dreadful creature. It was then explained by Coulbe that they had been in "suspended animation" for several months, and that the only reason they were alive and moving now was because of Dark Boss and his tower. In fact, Coulbe and his group were the first ones on the island to begin with!
However, just when all introductions were completed, a massive, god-like monster appeared on the island. It dubbed itself "Obelisk," and fought against the fighters -- none of whom knew why the god-like creature was attacking them! Just when all hope seemed lost, a psychic being appeared before the fighters, and struck down the blue menace. The psychic being, a scientifically created creature brought to life from the fossil of an extinct monster and cloned from it, stood by the side of the fighters. It explained that it came from a different world, and also stated that something on their planet was causing dimensions to rip apart. By doing so, he was brought to their world... But before the genetic being's story was completed, a new monster arose -- a red serpent, similar in power and status of Obelisk. It dubbed itself "Slifer," and once again a new battle ensued. But as the fighters once again began to fall, a new ally appeared... in the form of a green dragon! The powerhouse dragon single-handedly brought down Slifer, and the fighters were once again safe. But, staying on their toes, they kept watch for anymore creatures to appear. (They took this time to find out the genetic being's origins, and also to know that he had connections with the green dragon, as both were from the same world... The fighters also used this time to replenish their energies, with the help of Akira's orb.)
And, as they all thought, one last monster appeared: it was a gold-scaled winged beast, and it dubbed itself "Ra". Attacking without any mercy, Ra proved to be the strongest one out of its two predecessors and even took down the psychic and the dragon, but it was suddenly destroyed when a great warrior wearing gold armor ascended from the air. After the attack, the warrior split into three warriors, each of whom were from the realm of the "gods". The three warriors said that they didn't know what they were doing on the island... but that they had been "transported" there.
Due to their "lack of power" to fight against Ra, the psychic one and the dragon set off together for training. And because the psychic could foresee some of the future, he gave them a warning: "From what I have seen, there will be a Destroyer, cloaked in red, whom will wreck havoc upon your world... then, a child with horns... after that, a man with one eye... and the last thing I see is a Winged One ascending into Heaven... Please, heed this. Return to your homes. Tell the ones you love how you feel. And prepare for the worst... The apocalypse will soon be at hand."

After finding a way off the island, and bringing along a majority of those who had been trapped there, the fighers did as the psychic told them to. They underwent strenuous training, but at the same time kept in contact with one another and the ones they loved.
And during this time, Akira found his long-lost sister, with the help of the three warriors. It was Sari, one of the women Akira had saved from the mansion. And because she was part-demon (prior to Akira releasing her from her demonic spirit), she didn't age like a regular human being. Knowing this, Akira was able to fully concentrate his time into training, his life feeling quite complete...

Then the final days of Earth came.

A Destroyer, cloaked in red...
The green dragon, whom had set off with the psychic for training, went mad and was possessed by an evil spirit... and, by doing so, its color changed from green to a blood red! It began to wreck havoc in Akira's home of Tokyo. The lives of most of the women he knew from the mansion were killed, and Akira had no choice but to take down the vengeful dragon. But before doing so, the psychic one stepped forth, and, using his newfound powers from the training, was able to kill the possessed dragon... releasing the spirit! The spirit formed into a disfigured form of a woman wearing a mask and tattered dress, and she called herself "Chaos." Chaos then proceeded into sending the psychic one into oblivion, and stated that if Akira dared, he had "better catch her... if he could."
From that point on, scattered news reports began to arise of three beings with supernatural powers. The three beings began to take out major cities in minutes, and the world was at their mercy.
The team of fighters assembled, and they formulated a plan to bring the "three beings" together. Using all the power they could muster, they brought up their power levels to their peaks. This drew the beings in like moths to lightbulbs, and the three beings' identities were revealed: one of them was Chaos, but the other two were her "sisters": Havoc and Destruction. Chaos, Havoc and Destruction then began their battle against the fighters. And with one lucky move, Chaos was able to kill Akira... but because this all happened above the skies of Tokyo, the once-mistress of the mansion -- now known as Mikae -- gave her life for Akira, as she did back in the mansion, and he was once again resurrected. By this time, the Three Sisters had fled from a humiliating defeat, and Akira vowed to avenge Mikae and all those the Three Sisters had killed.

Before a plan could be formulated, however, a new enemy approached.

...then, a child with horns...
It was in the form of a young boy, with two small horns jutting from his forehead, who called himself "far superior to the Sisters in every way... My name is Enigma." But this boy was definately not to be underestimated, as he was able to take down all the fighters with the use of one hand. However, he was forced to retreat when Muigi and Elio once again fused into Muilio, and used Akira's orb to stop the child.
With all things falling into place, the group of fighters prepped for one final round. After defeating the child Enigma, a mysterious voice from the depths of the ocean emerged, and beckoned the fighters that if they wanted to bring back humanity and save the world -- and the universe -- they would have to face one last challenge.
A stairway opened from within the ocean, and the fighters had no choice but to enter, lest humanity would forever be destroyed... and the universe taken over by whomever this new enemy was.
The fighters began their descent into what would be their toughest challenges yet. After decrypting a door, they were led into rooms, one after another.... Each room would have a unique challenge, almost like a test. The rooms would shift into familiar stages, and their "tests" would commence.
Their first "test" was against two familiar foes: the monsters from the mansion! The fighters took down the beasts easily (though everything in the room but themselves was in black and white, like a faded memory).
The next challenge was against the space monster.
Then they entered a tower... Dark Boss's tower... and faced all their challenges from inside that tower. Even at the summit, Akira had to rebattle his "father."
After that, they went against Dark Lord. Then against the manipulated dragon.
Finally, after so many harsh challenges (but luckily being able to use Akira's orb to replenish most of their energies), they came to another door. Decrypting the message, they entered... and, in the center of a darkened, vast battlefield, was their worst nightmare: the thing was in the shape of a man, but its power was so incredible that it was impossible to truly tell how much it actually had.
This new enemy called himself "Oblivion," and went into explaining that he was responsible for the ripping of dimensions... and for creating the island. He said that the reason he looked like a man was because he "wanted to manifest himself into the form of what is the most evil, corrupted, distgusting thing in all the galaxies I've ever seen."

Oblivion's story started when the world was at its youngest. When Eve plucked the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, Oblivion was born. Over time, after the flood ("...with the ark and that old man"), Oblivion became progressively stronger and stronger. But his powers were far from complete.
Millenia later, he was finally able to control his powers, and he started by making the island, and transporting selected people there. He explained his reasons, that by sending the islanders there and turning them against each other ("...that is how your war started to begin with"), he would absorb their evil spirits, and become even stronger at a faster rate. However, because his powers weren't complete, he "accidentally" ripped a portal open in different dimensions... which is where the alien and the old wizard (whom gave Akira his Ice Stone) came in. By manipulating this new power, he was able to open more and more dimensions, until he had the universes in utter chaos. At the same time, after every battle Akira and his team fought, he would absorb their hatred and evil (primarily Akira's, during his demonic transformations) and he would become more and more powerful.
Then came the day when Oblivion was complete. He created Chaos, Havoc, and Destruction, and sent the three Sisters to reap the world for him... and to assemble the fighters. After that, he created Enigma -- a mockery of Christ -- to fight the fighters, so he could have even more energy. Then, at last, the "tests" to take in more hatred.

And then their battle would prove to be their last.

After finishing, Oblivion opened a crack in the earth, and he brought up the battlefield which they were on (as Akira's team had gone to nearly the core of the Earth), and made it their "final fighting ground." But before the fighters went against Oblivion, he brought back three resurrected gods: Obelisk, Ra, and Slifer. And with his powers, Oblivion transformed the three into even stronger beings: Slifer became known as "Uria"; Ra became known as "Hamon"; and Obelisk -- now the strongest of the three -- became known as "Raviel".
The fighters fought well against the three lords, far better than Oblivion expected, and eventually the three lords were brought down. Then Oblivion summoned Chaos, Havoc, and Destruction, and the three Sisters fused into one being -- Obliteration. Now as Obliteration, and with the aid of the summoned Enigma, the fighters fought their best. And prevailed.

Oblivion, seeing how "pathetic" Obliteration and his son, Enigma, were, he absorbed both of them -- body and soul -- and took matters into his own hands. With the swipe of his hand, Oblivion "kidnapped" all the ones that the fighters loved... and hung them on crosses. Akira was shocked to see Yukina unconscious on her cross, as was Neo Link with his lover, and all the other fighters. Oblivion stated that if "you want to see your loved ones live, I suggest that YOU better live... because when you die, I take the life of the one you love... And, if two share the same love, and one of you falls before me, your love will suffer until the other dies."

Then the battle against Oblivion began.
Surprisingly, Oblivion was brought down to his knees rather quickly by the combined might of all the fighters, as well as Warrier1's Stone-sealed sword. But, snickering to himself, Oblivion added, "This is only my first form."
One brief transformation later, "Oblivion2" arose, and fought, but was again defeated, this time by the hand of Muilio and Akira's orb. However, Oblivion2 stated, "Prepare for my next."
Another transformation, and Oblivion3 went all-out against the fighters... but, like the two previous times, was shot down, this time by the fused form of the three warriors, whom had defeated Ra back on the island. However, Oblivion3 cackled and, with an evil grin, screamed, "Then I suppose I will have to become stronger."

...after that, a man with one eye...
Oblivion3 transformed into a cyclops-like creature, and easily overthrew all of the fighters... and took the lives of two: Dark, and Coulbe. Because Coulbe loved the same woman as another fighter, SlimeyX, Oblivion cursed that woman -- Misao, the same woman who had pulled the lever back in the mansion -- into a state of immense pain. In order to save her, Oblivion4 tauted SlimeyX into "just giving up and dying."
When the enraged SlimeyX and fighters once again proved valiant, Oblivion4 once again transformed... into Oblivion5, a basilisk-like creature with six legs, six wings, six horns, and indescribable powers. With that might, he crushed SlimeyX as if he were nothing. And, one by one, the fighters began to fall to Oblivion's might. Muigi and Elio, after an unsuccessful counterattack against the basilisk with fusion, were both individually slaughtered.
Seeing how weak his challengers were to him, Oblivion transformed into his final stage: True Oblivion, or Oblivion6. It looked just like his basic form, except with six wings and six horns, and a power so great that even the aura was enough to cause injury to anyone standing by. He gained back all health and power whenever someone was killed, and demonstrated this by lifting a hand and sending out a shower of aura spheres... wiping out the rest of humanity.
With single punches, fighters were obliterated... one of whom was Master Yoshi, and another being Dark Muigi, who had teamed up with the gang to fight this menace. Even the combined might of the three warrior's fused form wasn't enough.
Warrier1 and the other fighters who hadn't been killed were either unconscious or unable to continue fighting.
Falling to his knees, Akira lost all hope. Evil had conquered Good. There was nothing left to live for... All his friends were dying. His family was gone. Humanity was dead. And no matter how hard he tried to fight back, he was struck down harder and harder.
The apocalypse had indeed come... in the shape of man, in the power of man's evil. But just before Akira surrendered himself, he remembered Yukina. He remembered the friends he had that were still living and laying beside him, who had not given up hope. They were... good people. They were the reason he kept living. And if it meant dying for them, he would.
With goodness swelling in his heart, Akira absorbed his orb... and underwent a stunning transformation...

...and the last thing I see is a Winged One ascending into Heaven...
Sprouting angelic wings, and being surrounded by a white aura, Akira finally transformed into his Angelic form. Because of the amout of goodness he had, and his fire fueled not by hatred but by justice, Oblivion6 could not touch Akira. And because humanity had been whiped out, and all the other fighters except for Akira were unconscious, Oblivion had nothing to feed off of... and his powers began to decline! Using such an opportunity, Akira destroyed Oblivion... but was unable to save the lives of millions. Had he been able to motivate himself before, he could have been able to save his friends, and humanity... In agony, he released himself from his angelic state and stood in the bloodied battlefield, where in just so short a time man had been completely erased from existance.
With Yukina rushing to his side, and the other fighters consoling him and each other, humanity would... somehow... find a way to start again.

But that was when Garuda stepped before Akira. Because Akira had fulfilled his destiny by "saving" the world, Garuda spoke to his master for the first time in many, many years. Garuda was destined to await the day the world would enter this stage of life... when man's evil would rise up and engulf the universe. Garuda then knew that Akira was "the one," because of the great powers of above... the same powers that had brought Warrier1, Dark Muigi, Husher, and Neo Link to life again.
With that, Garuda stated that by sacrificing himself, along with another entity, they could bring back humanity and save the lives of so many that had been lost. Akira came to accepting the offer of Garuda, when Warrier1 instead stepped up and stated that he would rather go than Akira. But then Neo Link, another of the survivors of the fight, pushed away Warrier1. Then another after him, and another, and another. In fact, everyone would rather go in replacement of Akira. Moved by their friendship and love, Akira gave them all his best wishes... when a new thought came to mind.
Holding out his orb, Akira asked to Garuda if his orb would suffice. Garuda stated that if Akira gave up his orb, he'd be an ordinary human, and his demon and angel sides would forever vanish. Akira approved this, and said that if it meant saving the lives of many, it would be more than enough... though it wouldn't be the same as giving up his life.
Grinning to his master, Garuda and Akira said their farewells.......

Some years later, Akira is living happily with all the people he had known: Warrier1 was married to his sweatheart from the island, Anna; SlimeyX was engaged to Misao; Neo Link and the woman he loved, Sakura, were still a "work-in-progress"; Master Yoshi and his lover, Meiji (the sister of Sakura), were living together in their own home elsewhere; Coulbe had moved on from loving Misao to finding another woman in his life; the mistress, Mikae, had had a child named Kumiko; Sari, Akira's sister, had found love in a man very much like one she had many years ago; and Yukina, Akira's wife, was pregnant.
With humanity back to its old self, life went on... peacefully... for the retired fighters and their loved ones.
But... should anything come to harm mankind again, Akira and his friends will be ready -- always ready -- to fight in the name of what is good.

~~Occasionally, Akira will wander into "tournaments," to test out his human-based powers. Though he lost his orb to save mankind, he still had in his blood some of his demonic-angelic cells, and is thus slightly more powerful than the average human.
...Which brings his reason for being here... so that he can continue to push himself. (And don't worry, Yukina is fine with it... so long as he comes back to her.)

Sure thing.
Fixed.
