Age five:

Zangetsu

Alex sat down on his bed after listening to his parent's lecture. They had spent an hour going on about how he wasn't supposed to hit people with stick. He floped onto his back and looked at the ceiling, remembering the thrill that came from the fight, the sense of pride he felt when he used the stick as if it were a part of his own body. It almost seemed perfectly natural to him. Suddenly his mother came in the room.

"Alex I know you don't like it when we punish you but if you promise to keep it our little secret I'll tell you something good." His mother offered.

Alex nodded, knowing his mother wouldn't say this unless it was REALLY good.

"On one of the Asteroids in the Terminus System is a hidden sword, one with such power that it's almost as if it was alive. It fires a beam of black light that can cut through almost anything and can never break because when someone hits it hard or light, it immediately fixes itself afterwards so fast it's almost like nothing even happened to the sword." His mother informed him.

Alex listened so intensely as the story seemed amazing, if he could get strong enough then maybe this legendary sword might accept him as it's master. As his mother went on and on about the amazing sword, Alex began to daydream about wielding it, what it would look like. Would it be simple and small, Large and complex? What was this sword of his dreams. When his mother finished the story he asked "What's the sword's name?".

His mom smiled "It's name is ... Zangetsu.".

Alex grew wide eyed, he now new the name of the sword. He decided that he would train in secret and become the best swordsman ever to prove his worthiness to Zangetsu. He finally had a dream, one that would make him greater than anyone else. And Alex knew he was going to see this dream till the end.

Age nine:

The last four years spent in training had gone to waste at the one time he was caught. He had snuck into a prison to test his abilities. Seeing as how they were all convicted mass murderers there shouldn't have been a problem since they were sentenced to execution anyways. His assumption was wrong, he was able to kill off 49 of them before it was time to go home for supper. Just as he neared the edge of the prison he was captured.

However his parents were very important, very famous people, so it was decided instead of ruining the area for a long time by telling the truth Alex was going to tell his parent's that he had signed up for an elite school for the gifted and was accepted. Also that he would be completely unreachable for an unknown amount of years.

After a couple of weeks several men came to Alex with an offer based on his charge. They offered him freedom and as many chances to use his skill as he could take. Alex had already made a place for himself in the prison, The inmates were his friends as they weren't stupid enough to oppose him. He took the deal only on the condition that his inmates sentences were cut at least by half so they'd only be in for another year.

About half a year after he finished training for his new line of work with some fellow named Pein. He grew exceedingly tired of using the assigned blade and went off to find the fabled sword from his childhood. Since most of his inmates knew of his dream and had gotten out of prison, they sent him messages concerning any useful information about Zangetsu. Eventually he had enough info to find the location of this legendary blade and departed immediately.

Age ten: The Asteroid

He had finally neared the end of his search for the sword Zangetsu. After what seemed infinite time since he had first learned it's existence, he was finally about to finish 5 years of work. The Asteroid had an oxygen environment which wasn't abnormal but if hiding it it seemed you'd want a place with no environment at all.

Alex searched until he found a metal cave with a massive door. After he had found the button to open it he was attacked by several hundred droids. Once they were finished off Alex saw Zangetsu in it's sheath behind some sort of energy field. He ran toward the field throwing the Espada sword into the energy field, disrupting it long enough for Alex to get through.

As soon as he touched Zangetsu's hilt he heard a male's voice coming from somewhere within the cave. "You wish to use my power?".

Alex was in shock of hearing the voice "Yes ... YOUR ALIVE!".

"Not in the sense you speak but I have consousness. I am Zangetsu. If you are to wield me then you must prove you are capable." The energy field disabled itself "If you can cut a mountain with me then you shall be worthy.".

As Alex stepped outside and looked at the nearest mountain. He thought back to his mother's story about Zangetsu and the massive blast of energy she mentioned when he was day dreaming. "Zangetsu, I know you have an attack with range ... what is it?".

"Gestuga Tenshou."

"Very well." Alex said before raising the sword above his head and to the right. As he began swinging with all his might he yelled "GESTUGA TENSHOU!". As the blade came down the enormous black light shot straight from the tip of the blade, almost as if the blade grew in size. And as the blade came down, so did the blade of light, going straight through the asteroid's mountain. When the light disappeared the mountain had a massive cut going all the way through and began to fall apart.

"From now on we are a pair, and I will only respond to your commands." Zangetsu informed him.

Alex grinned menacingly "Pein will be pissed that I broke one of their swords but too bad. With you there is no stopping me." This was the beginning of Alex's work with Zangetsu, Their methods may be uncontrollable but at the very least they got the job done, there was no arguing that.
