Ikari. (1)

Akira decided to stop waiting to see what the Ape would do and immediately struck it in the jaw with a powerful left blow. His sprained wrist had already healed so that meant he could fight at full power without worrying worsening the injury. But, it's not like he was worried about that in the first place. The ape barely took damage from the hit as its head didn't even flinch. Akira saw this and was about to continue piling hits on the beast but he suddenly felt a fist hitting his abdomen, giving him a feeling that his chest was being caved in. The punch was so powerful that it forced him back a few meters until he hit his back on a tree causing his momentum to stop.

'That...punch was so fast! I didn't even see it coming before I felt the hit! Interesting...if this is what I can expect at the front of the forest, what about the middle where the most powerful beasts would reside? Good, this is what I mean by a good fight!'

Akira's black-furred tail shook excitedly at the prospect of fighting an opponent at this level. If that punch hit a human, they would've been screaming in agony from the pain and shock but because of Akira's abominable physiology, the pain was nothing more than a fleeting sting. As he was about to focus his attention on the head ape once again, he saw the rest of the beasts rushing towards him in a stampede like manner, as if they all wanted a chance to trample him down.

'Fools. If only they rushed from all directions instead of coming in basically a straight line. I'll have to combine hyperspeed, which only allows me to go in a straight line, triple kicks, and some triple strikes to take them down. Any one of them who deviates from that line would be taken down by changing my direction of motion by kicking the ground. Alright, time to fight!'

His battle senses were raging at their maximum capacity right now as if he made a mistake, it wouldn't take long for him to get trampled down into the ground and killed. His constant improvements in battle was something martial artists everywhere would dream about. Stomping the ground with his unnatural physical strength, Akira pushed forward into the crowd of apes with no fear, every kick of his hitting a vital spot of any ape foolish enough to not put up their guard.

Of course, some were so focused on his leg movements that they forgot that he also fought with his hands. Those who put up their guard were quickly met with neck snaps and judo throws, some even had their eyes gouged out because of a slight opening in their guard. Even as he was winning this part of the battle, constant improvements were being made to Akira's technique, precision, and even overall striking power. Unbeknownst to him, most of the apes had managed to land powerful punches on his body but his pain tolerance was so high that they felt like nothing more than slight breezes. The pain was nothing even close to what Yujiro would inflict upon him on a daily basis. A downside to this would be that he would barely even know when he was struck in a vital point but he concluded that he just had to get more accustomed to his inhuman body in order to overcome such a vital weakness.

Akira had currently just used his monkey-like reflexes to jump over the grapple attempt of one of the last few remaining apes. He then used his right arm to hold the arm of the ape and by pulling on the arm, he managed to dislocate it, causing the beast immense pain. But he wasn't done yet. Akira then twisted his body in a 180° motion and used his left knee to attack the apes head, causing it to bleed from the immense force. Using the time that the ape was stunned, Akira twisted his body once again and rolled over the head of the ape, landing behind it. He immediately used his right arm to put the neck of the ape in a lock and then he pulled its neck downwards while putting his knee in the middle of its back, bending the beast over it. With one quick motion, Akira broke the ape's spine, causing it to fall to the ground motionless in agonizing pain.

There were finally only two apes left after the battle which lasted about five minutes in real-time. Both of the apes were severely injured but still managed to stand up as they didn't have in them to just give up when an enemy to their livelihood stood right in front of their faces. Akira wasn't fine either as his nose, ears, mouth, and even his now bloodshot eyes were bleeding from the number of hits he took. But it was still nothing to him as even as he fought his body was healing and improving. He knew that if he survived this endeavor he would become even stronger as a result. The white-furred head ape who watching all this time pounded the ground furiously at the fact that almost every ape under his care was defeated by some human.

Having had enough of Akira's arrogance, the ape rushed him, and just like before, his movements appeared as a blur before the eyes of the former. Akira just put up his guard and soon after felt two incredible hits that felt like kicks hitting it, forcing him back even further than the last time. As he hit another tree, he spat out a large amount of blood from his mouth that ended up covering most of his chest and his lower body. His head was down as his guard was still up in an x shaped position across his body. There was no movement, only slight heavy breathing as his long hair was fluttering in the night wind. {A/N: I think I forgot to tell you this but imagine old Broly's hair with new Broly's face.}

The head apes white fur shone under the moonlight as it walked triumphantly towards Akira who it considered to be nothing more than a fickle human. Suddenly, the devilish smile that had been on his face the entire time only widened more as he started laughing maniacally. He then raised his head and shouted into the night sky, saying:

"THIS...THIS IS THE THRILL OF BATTLE!! ONLY IN A BATTLE WITH AN OPPONENT OF THIS CALIBER CAN THIS FEELING APPEAR!! HAHA, GOOD! KEEP ENTERTAINING ME BEAST!"

As Akira was about to charge at the ape, he suddenly found himself unable to remove his gaze from the slightly clouded sky. No matter how much he struggled, his eyes weren't moving from a certain cloud that was beginning to reveal something. He could feel his instincts going crazy and his heartbeat intensifying. As the heavenly body known as the moon revealed itself, Akira finally understood what was about to happen. For a few moments, he started to get a little nervous as he didn't know if he could control the oozaru but that's when an idea hit him.

'If I could control this part of me, then the wrath state will soon be at hand! Then if I master it enough, maybe it can be even more than just a state. Maybe I turn that state into my base form instead...'

Akira focused his mind and allowed the transformation to happen as he planning to bring the form under reigns as soon as possible. Black fur started to grow on his body as his fangs became elongated and his eyes became fully red. His body started to grow and transform unceasingly as a few whimpers of pain escaped his mouth. In a few seconds, the young boy that was just standing there in the forest turned into a massive, hulking black ape that was about sixty meters in height. If one looked over at the forest from Tokyo city, they could see the black silhouette of an ape standing upright in the distance. True masters of martial arts all around Tokyo could feel the presence of a beast that defied all reason and couldn't help but to look in the direction of the forest. The one who was most interested though was undoubtedly Yujiro. With his incredible speed, he had already made his way back to Emi Akezawa's mansion but just feeling the pressure coming from the forest caused him to stop in his tracks. He looked back with his eyes wide open and laughed loudly, causing his voice to reverberate through the entire mansion.

"As expected of one that has the privilege to be called my son!"

Akira had already lost control of the form but it wasn't out of his expectations as it was his first time transforming. The ape beat its chest and roared angrily, causing all the beasts in the forest to feel fear at the destructive aura that was emanating off of its body. The white-furred head ape was already sitting down in a position of servitude as it laid its eyes upon Akira's form. It had never seen one of its kind that radiated such power in its entire life before. But unfortunately, the great ape standing before it was in a state of frenzy that destroyed everything in its path.

With one fist folded, the great ape pounded down on the body of the white-furred ape until it was nothing more than meat paste on the ground. It then picked up the remains of said ape and ate it without reservation, turning its attention to the rest of the dead or injured ones right after. The great ape then started to pound and destroy everything as anything that moved was automatically an enemy to it. When it made sure that the apes were all dead, it picked up their bodies in one giant scoop, eating all of them with no care in the world. {A/N: I feel like I should say that I actually don't hate apes lol.}

As the great ape was about to continue its destruction through the forest, it suddenly stopped moving. The savage expression on its face eventually turned into a calm one and then into a massive demonic grin. Akira had finally taken control of himself once again. He only lost control for about two minutes in real-time so the rate at which he regained control was impressive, to say the least.

'Now that I've succeeded, let's see if I can access the Ikari form...'
