Chapter 1 Rio Punch

In 1992 after the death of Dj Santos our main protagonist's family moved to Rio De Janeiro Brazil since having family members there would be safer than not moving and fearing for their life that the killer of Dj would try to murder them too. But every once in a while they seem to visit America to discover the death of Dj and how it happened and now The year is 2011.

Meet The Santos Family Our main protagonist Xavier Santos a man of color he is a Brazilian african american who always wears his jacket that is green and has an Purple star on the back and his weird power of bending air and using air to his will with his abilities he has become an Martial arts fighter who is trained by his Uncle Bobby and his Grandpa Carlos. His mom was named Fara Santos and he had an older sister that was two years older then him named Ayana. Xavier was 19 and the year was 2011.

Xavier had just finished school and was getting ready for college Xavier was walking down the street filled with vibrant Football fields near him with bees and butterflies flying all around he saw a huge mountain and he was walking past the area where he fought for money the tournament was in a couple of days from then. Xavier’s friend Frank and Paul showed up behind him, slapping him on the back.

They walked to the huge Christ the redeemer statue and prayed there then they walked to the bus loop that would take them to Sugarloaf Mountain Ski Lift.

When they got to Sugarloaf Mountain they looked down at the peaceful view watching the nice sunset.

Paul says”Yo take a picture for me man!” “Alright jeez” Xavier responds as they all take a selfie. It had become like a friend bond for them to go to Sugarloaf mountain the week before the Martial Arts tournament and then the following week Xavier would train his butt off with his Uncle and Grandpa.

Uncle Bobby was a world known Martial artist just like Xavier’s father who was a boxer. Grandpa though was far fiercer and scarier than them knowing the abilities of zen and martial arts he was fatal. They trained at a high mountain point where Grandpa owned a dojo. Grandpa versus Xavier the test battle started. Grandpa hit a stance showing he was ready for a battle Xavier was floating using his air zen and showing he was ready. Grandpa moved first by putting his thumb in the middle of his palm. He went with a backhand slap. Xavier took the blow and couldn’t concentrate on his zen so he fell down.

Landing on his hand he is doing a handstand with only one hand. Then his leg comes crashing down on grandpa’s arm. Then it looked as if he was break dancing spinning and kicking. The grandpa took an onslaught of attacks; this was his fighting style, the Brazilian fighting style Capoeira. “I’ve trained you well,” said Grandpa. He crackles as he says this and then shows a technique new to Xavier but a technique we all know and love. The grandpa’s limbs looked stretchy as he unleashed the Stake technique.

“This move I taught to some old person I knew named Mr.Steel yet he could never pull off the full power of this technique the Infinity Stake” Grandpa’s arms started flailing around and getting quicker and quicker smacking the ground and making a huge sound, a rhythm of its own. Then grandpa raised his arms and slammed them into Xavier. The attack was the perfect defense and perfect offense. “Air wall!” Screamed Xavier as a desperate attempt to block the attacks but it was ineffective as Grandpa had seen this attack multiple times and easily broke through.

“I just needed to slow you down” said Xavier with a smirk on his face he condensed some air zen and then he propelled himself like a cannonball and in the air he swung his leg quickly strong enough to knock his Grandpa down.”Good now you fight your Uncle Bobby and some trainees” Some men in Ninja suits jumped out and Uncle Bobby hit his fighting stance.

Xavier put his hand down and a gust of wind blew away some ninjas who attacked first. Uncle ran up to attack. Using some air zen Xavier clapped his hand and pushed it in front of him making a wind arrow.

The uncle smashed the wind arrow above him.

Then a punch with zen in his hand hit Xavier directly in the stomach sending him flying. A ninja snuck up with a blade “Hey what I’d say about using blades You know the ninja could get hurt more” Xavier vaulted over the blade and all the force that was swung into the blade caused the ninja to stumble over. Air zen pressured causing Xavier to jump and kick the Uncle causing him to almost fall off the mountain. “Whoa almost died there good match” said Uncle Bobby. Xavier had finished his training and gotten the weekend off the next week the tournament started that Thursday.

Xavier was tired and slept in his own house.

That morning Ayana made him some coffee.

He went out with Paul and Frank again to talk about his worries about the tournament. “Bro with the techniques you have shown me in those videos of you practicing your fine” Frank said. “Well, let's be analytical about it. There are some opponents with styles we have never seen. He might have something to worry about” said Paul. “You shall not doubt the almighty Xavier” Jokingly said Frank. They all had a laugh with that joke.Xavier points to a football field and grabs his ball. “Let’s go,” Xavier says.

3 other teenagers were playing so the match was a three versus three. Frank passes the ball to Xavier and in mid air he does a bicycle kick and lands on his back with the air comforting him. The other team's goalie punched it away. It hit the cage where the ball bounced and the other team’s striker kicked it in. 1-0 Frank hit a Trivela pass and Paul then scored. 1-1 the striker on the other team took a shot and Frank blocked it since he played as the goalie. 3 minutes left in the game and then after the block Paul shot a long shot it was saved but

Xavier hit a volley shot and it went in.it was 2-1

Finally the third and quiet player of the bunch came out and was ready to show his awakening.

The striker passed the ball to his teammate.

He then rainbow flicked and hit a volley shot.

2-2 the final goal awaited as the kickoff started

Xavier started breakdancing with the ball then he did an cutting motion with the ball which flicked the ball forward then Xavier jumped forward heading the ball near the net but it was launched above the goal Paul launched over Xavier and kicked it the other teams striker blocked the shot with a kick sending the ball to the other side. The third mysterious player's only obstacle was Frank.

The third mysterious player chipped the ball almost into the goal but Frank fell back smacking it away and Xavier was quick to fall back and block the second shot that came from the third player.

Xavier then dribbled through the team with the striker attempting to take the ball but he lifted it over now it was Xavier versus the goalie.

Xavier sombrero flicked the ball up and jumped up and kicked it in. Xavier knee slides as he wins.

The serene areas of Brazil as Xaiver and his friends ran to an open field and laid there as he seemed relaxed and blasting music. The bees buzzed the area like something from a dream.

The green and lush grass, the scenery of sunsets and mountains full of ice and snow felt like a normal summer day.

The tournament would come by soon but before Xaiver would go visit a person we may be familiar with drinking at a bar was a familiar face he had his cowboy hat on alongside his jeans and belt with a normal t-shirt.

“Mexican cowboy what a fake name anyway scoot out you have drunk way too much!” Screamed the person who owned the bar.

Caesar walked out holding a smoke as he lit it he walked down the road “Mister Caesar hey!” Said Xaiver as they met at the road “oh child of prophecies and shit!” Said Caesar drunkly. “Huh” Said Xaiver “you entering that tournament?” Asked Caesar.

“Where do you go wrong in your life to cause you to become wanted and drunk” Asked Xaiver “Ouch that hurts I would say probably after an long hard rejection lost more faith in the world than ever had” Said Caesar “That’s corny even for you” Said Xavier “I guess so still kinda stings though” Caesar said.

“Yes I'll be entering that tournament” Xaiver said

“How much for a ticket?” Caesar said “You're gonna go watch?” Asked Xaiver “gotta do something for my bro so yeah” Said Caesar

“Have you ever got an infinity eye yet?” Asked Caesar

“Nope, still only a zen master,” said Xaiver.

“The tournament will start very soon so stay in tune to watch it” said the sports announcer.
