As Ezekiel was cheering to the crowd he didn't sense it until people in the crowd started making weird faces with one pointing at his back, he wondered... He turned back and out of nowhere a lightning fist was coming straight at him
Right before impact Dan thought to himself "What is going on... I never had this much power before, where did I get ability to generate lightning?"
Ezekiel looking at the bright sparkling blue lightning fist coming straight at him, he didn't know what else to do; he couldn't think fast enough. Dan's fist collides with his face smashing straight to the wall of the battle group of the arena
"What a twist folks" the announcer said while looking in shock as the rest of the audience "The chi-less boy is actually from the Lightning nation!"
Dan looks at his hands as he sees small blue lightning sparks around it "What is the hell is going on?"
Ezekiel comes out of the rumble with vicious words as he throws down his cracked glasses "You useless chi-less bum, what trick do you think you are pulling on me huh?"
Ezekiel continues with his brutal assault, he launches several Sonic wave blasts at Dan but Dan dodged them with speed and efficiency, he appears right In front of Ezekiel, he landed multiple blows on his stomach and face
The audience are in awe with Dan's flashy moves. Dan stretches his arm back and discharges a heavy punch to Ezekiel with the words "Go to hell, asshole!"
Ezekiel's body is blown away to the other side of the battle ground, but this time his body has no power to get up
The announcer shakily picks up his mic "T-t-the winner is Dan... From the Lightning nation"
The arena went dead silent, everyone stunned with what they had just witnessed, on the other hand Dan is still in shock
"What the hell happened to me?"
Immediately, glowing yellow chains appeared around him from the ground, a black woman with long black hair with her sharp red armour appears Infront of him, she is Vixen, a vice-captain of the fire nation and a chain chi user
"Talar I've held him down, now do your part"
A white male with purple hair also with his sharp red armour appears beside her, his name is Talar vice-lieutenant of the fire nation and an empathy chi user
"Good job"
He places his hands on Dan's forehead which makes Dan feels drowsy, ultimately making him sleep
Talar turns to the crowd"Sorry for the mess, enjoy the remaining fights today, this matter will be handled.... Privately"
Dan is asleep in big room lit up by candlelight and covered everywhere with the banners of fire nation mark-The red flame. Dan is tied to a black chair with the glowing yellow chains. Vixen and Talar look at each other, they nod their heads in unison signifying it's time for questioning
Talar places his right hand on Dan's head while saying the words "Wake up"
Dan's eye lit up as if waking up from a shocking experience, he sways his head slowly from right to left, he remembered he just defeating Ezekiel with his lightning power he didn't know of.
He also remembers the last thing that happened to him before he was asleep, two fire nation knights came to him, one with chains and one to make him sleep
"Hello-"
"Shut it. It's not time to talk" Vixen sharply interrupts Dan
Few minutes later the black door in the room is opened from the outside and Two men in red armour come in, one is DG that Dan met yesterday, the other is a big white man with black hair and a white streak in the middle of it, he has a cigar in his mouth, he introduces himself to Dan
"My Name is Greg Denver from the 13th main branch of the fire nation "The Denvers". I am the Captain and the knight coordinator overseeing this exams"
"Wow a powerful knight in the flesh" Dan whispers to himself
Greg takes a chair and sits close to him, he stares straight into the eyes of Dan "I have only one question for you.... Are you a spy"
Dan's body began to shake on the chair and questions start to move across his mind
"Spy?"
"I can't be"
"I'm just a normal boy that learned Karate"
"I have to choose my words carefully"
Dan replies "I am not a spy... I just learned about my powers just moments ago"
"Bullshit!" Screamed Vixen
Greg raises his hand to keep her quiet
"I believe you"
Greg's people look in shock
"The bracelet we found at the battleground was a Chi-Blocker"
"A what!" Dan says in shock
Greg adds "It's simply a tool used for blocking someone's chi making them powerless.... Where did you get that from"
Dan hesitated"My mom gave it... To me"
Greg nodded "That's fine" he puffs his cigar "We can't kick you out, no rules broken as far as I'm concerned, you can complete the exams"
"But Sir!" Vixen sharply responds
DG, the lieutenant cuts her off "Vixen that's enough.... The captain has made his decision"
Vixen growls in her corner of the room, she releases her chain from Dan, letting him go. Talar walks up to Dan and apologizes for the minor inconvenience
Greg smirked "Your next is in 3 days, good luck"
Dan gets up and leaves the room. He leaves in curiosity and he knows where to get all his answers
Dan heads home later that evening
Dan enters from the front door, he looks at all of them, seats down on a chair
"I want to talk to you guys about something"
Sofia places her hand on his shoulder, "Looks like you have found out"
Mrs. Zaki starts to tear up, Mr. Zaki embraces her
"It's fine love, I will tell him"
Mr. Zaki looks at Dan with a warm gaze, saying "Dan, your mother wasn't from this nation, she was from the Lightning Nation, she had a child with the lightning king and that child is you"
Dan scratches his head, as if he hasn't already had a day full of reveals about himself that he didn't know about
"My father is the lightning king?"
Mrs. Zaki cleans her tears and pushes herself to talk "Your mother didn't want you to find out about your true origins, she believed it was best for you to remain the way you are, not to be involved in the whole knight life, she loved you the way you are"
"So that's why she put the Chi-Blocker on me huh?" Dan says while lowering his gaze
Mr. Zaki comes close to him, pats his head saying "She never wanted you to be in danger and become a knight, even though it was your destiny"
"She really loved you Dan... You were her world" Sofia adds
Dan raises his head and shoulders high "Fine then, i had a tiring day after all. As long as what i heard is true, i will move on from it. I'm going to aim higher"
"What could be higher than being a knight" Sofia said
Dan smiled and responded "Becoming the lightning king"
Dan goes up to his room and sleeps off
During the three days span of his training, Dan went back to the dojo and refined his skills, he went out of the city to a small village and went to the forest nearby to train his speed and strength, He also jumped across several huge buildings in the city to test his jumping power
Three days later
Dan heads to the arena, on his way there he starts to ramble to himself
"So this exam has 20 pots and five rounds in each one , I'm done with the first, four more to go. I'm so hyped"
Dan sees Ezekiel with some bruises on his face complaining to DG
Ezekiel screams in the face of DG "What the hell! I had to fight someone who was registered as a non-chi user, he now used his lightning abilities to win, how was i supposed to win, he lied, he's a cheater, i deserve a rematch"
Immediately yellow glowing chains covers Ezekiel's body
"Thanks Vixen, sorry Mr.Ezekiel but as an aspiring knight as you were you don't need to know your opponents powers before to know how to best him, you were clearly not up to par" DG says to him
Vixen release the chains, walks straight to Ezekiel's front "Get the hell out of here before i mess you up pretty boy"
Ezekiel lashes out at them "Screw you all!"
He spots Dan
"You!"
Ezekiel charges at Dan, but Dan easily grabs his hand and flips him over with ease
Dan stares down at him "Didn't you hear them you were clearly not up to par, we are of different worlds, so long loser"
Ezekiel is carried and thrown out by some knights in the arena
Dan's match is about to start
The announcer picks up his mic "The match you've all been waiting for The whip chi user Icar and the surprise competitor from the lightning nation Dan"
The crowd start to erupt in joy
"My money is all on Dan"
"Dan! Dan! Dan!"
Dan comes out to the battle ground and sees the huge support he has gained, "Wow I can't believe they are cheering my name"
Across from Dan is his competitor "Icar", the man with his malicious grin and glowing chi whips
"Just to give you a heads up i don't care where you're from but know that your going to lose to me today"
Dan smirks "Alright then, let's see who comes out on top"
"Match begin!" Cried the announcer
Immediately as the match begins Dan attempts to charge towards Icar but Icar brings out a chi whip from his hand lashing Dan across his chest.
The attack gets Dan down to one knee
Icar laughs
"Ha i told you you're going to lose"
Dan channels his lightning all over his body and charges at Icar hitting and kicking him all over his body
"As if" Dan said
"Let's go, Dan!" the crowd roared
Dan got distracted by their support he doesn't notice Icar's whip at him from behind
"Got ya!"
Blood splatters fly into the air
"Woah what an attack" the announcer said
