'... But it's time now finally it's time Leon- to inherit your destiny as the Eternal Weapon- The Iron Fist...

... It's time to accept fate and take up the mantle as the Iron Fist protector of the Mystical World...!'

———_______———

- A Month Later :-

This entire month Leon had gone through the motions, training constantly as he covered the basics once more.

He did everything he could do again as he tried all that he could do.

It was a stressful time to be honest like having an exam in an hour yet you haven't revised for it yet...

For this Leon retrained his fists as he plunged them into hot red sand countless times causing his skin to redeem whilst an intense gleam shone in his eyes.

He was ready- he could do it- he could fight- he was the Eternal Weapon-he was...

... 'The IRON FIST!!'

But his mind was not without training as well- as he shadow battled the dragon in his mind multiple times.

Reading through the scrolls of the previous 65 Iron Fists as their methods on defeating the Iron Fist appeared in his mind.

Clinching was one- Brute Strength another, distractions a triple and finally demolishing the fourth.

It was obvious what Leon was going to do as his mind readied up whilst his body went with the flow.

Ready to take down the obstacle in his path the obstacles in his journey- every day he was one step away from that Purple Yeezy Chinned Cailou.

His face haunted him as the Yeezy grills caused him the urge to vomit whilst his fleshly body caused him to vomit blood.

'Watch out Thanos I'm coming for you!'

'Wait- what if the threat isn't Thanos? And is sone random other villain?'

'I'll worry about that later... For now I'll need to beat that Dragon!'

With a quick motivational quote I headed out from my room in the temple as Master and both Yamcha+Puar wished me luck.

Yamcha and Puar had already hit it off like old friends for some reason but I didn't question it- I needed to get my powers that was it.

"Go on Bro- show that Dragon who's Boss- If I was there I'd kill it myself!"

"Shut up Yamcha-!!"

Said Master with a sharp reply as Yamcha tried to say something to appease Master.

"Buuuut- Master!!"

"Shut up or else you'll be forced to train in the mountains with only pants and only be allowed to eat tree bark!"

This promptly shut up Yamcha-as he gently gave me a high five while I did the same which quickly turned I to a hug as a huge sunset seemed to appear behind us.

While an invisible banner with the words -"Youth and Vitality!" appeared.

With an ahem from Master our hug finished and a year drop fell from Yamcha's eyes.

"You can do it Bro- stay Youthful!"

Master then cupped his fists towards me as he looked sombre before a small grin formed on his face.

"Leon I know you can do this and so do you, your incredible growth and talent to learn has been beyond me...

...But I know you can do anything as long as your focused so stay focused!"

"Yes Master!"

With that vigorous reply I headed to the Dragon's abode ready to win!

Entering the damp cave I walked straight in as I felt another presence.

Deep within this seemingly endless cave with endless possibilities with the amount of tunnels there was a beast waiting to fight to kill to rip and tear to shreds.

But once I'd walked further enough glowing red eyes stopped me dead in my tracks.

As I knew this was Shou Lao the Eternal Dragon- reborn consecutively 65 times and today would be it's 66th.

And I could faintly make out a dragon mark upon its c.h.e.s.t and soon the entire room lit up with light flooding the area i.as it seemed to be early morning.

But the grainy texture of the cave gave it away. It was merely a cave with light.

But now I saw my foe- with huge tall wings and fiery red skin and a dragon marked tattoo on its c.h.e.s.t it looked at me as if a rival.

But with a wake of its jeweled eyes it flared at me with flames as it tried burning me alive.

However I merely jumped up as it missed scorching the already scorched earth.

Leaping high enough to see it's face I punched out a quick blast of golden Ki causing it to cough repeatedly whilst I then shot another blast on its legs.

But after the smoke cleared it was fine as it then began to levitate in the air towering above me again.

On my charge we both rushed towards each other as one fist touched another blowing back numerous shockwaves as the area cracked multiple times.

However as we fought I found the Dragon kept getting stronger similar to me as I finally met a match in power as it's intensity was clearly stro her than when he fought against the original Iron Fist in the Comics I believe.

He was thousands of times above the comic level and was really strong.

But as I battled him I learnt how to utilise my attacks and skills as my fleshly body grew stronger as well.

"RRAAARRRGGGGHHH!!"

"I CAN DO THIS - FULL POWWEERRR!!"

And as we fought against each other my body began to glow gold as an image of a red spiky fruit appeared behind me while a golden dragon coiled around it.

And this seemed to be my trigger as my body absorbed the fruit and dragon before I grew even more.

My black hair glowed lightly whilst my fists grew a golden glow distinct to my aura appeared as my c.h.e.s.t began to form an indistinct image.

Slowly as I gained the upper hand against Shou Lao my c.h.e.s.t began to form even more of the image until finally it was completed.

A marking unlike any other Iron Fist before.

A red spiky fruit with a golden coiled dragon around it was imprinted in my c.h.e.s.t as my body felt even more enhanced as my strength and speed went up.

With another roar I lunged at the Dragons torso as my fist carried an enormous weight from me- my body instinctively let out a giant apes image made of Ki as it roared towards the goal in front.

"Taste... My- FIST... of FURY!!"

Shou Lao was in for a surprise as after my Great Ape formed my spiked red fruit and coiled golden dragon also formed as they rushed at my for together with me.

"... FWOOSHH!!"

"... WHOOOSHH!!"

And finally I went straight through its c.h.e.s.t covering up its Dragon Marked Tattoo.
