never...
The sounds of bleeps and ticks of clockwork and machinary ticked on through the night, none of which was audible to the victim within the bed. Gabriel Seran had suffered major injuries most of which were electrical burns along with his own case of radiation poisoning. His stomach was pumped and limbs shattered but soon enough he'd be back to full health though as of now he needed rest. Emerald eyes peered over the edge of his bed catching the glimpse of an attractive nurse winking at him. The action in itself brought a grin to his face as he reclined the bed using his good arm. However his left arm was now in a sling being pieced together by the finest reconstructive surgery mney could buy. Gabriel had already lost one limb to his ambitious nature he wasn't about to loose another.
He slept for a few hours waking again to nightmares and dreams, each of which horrified and still caught his attention. The gleaming blue hues of the Lightning Dragon tearing him apart and yet the more interesting thing. The power that came along with it. Morning came along finally and Gabriel Seran sat upright eating his first solid meal in some time. The effects of the radiation poisoning left him throwing up for about a day before he was back to positive status. The nurse came in once again without so much as a word from Gabriel. She fluffed his pillow and left curiously with a flutter of her eyelashes. The grin on his face remained, damn injuries...

It had taken a little while for Leon himself to recover. Burns and stitches in his chin. Yeah it was intact, but not without consequence he had his jaw locked so the crack could heal, it had almost been a clean split. Lucky for him, numerouse poundings from Ark had got him ready for such strength. Though it had appeared very unexpectedly. Finding his way as a teacher from the high school he was bringing Gabriel the homework he hadn't done.
He'd enter the room without knocking... Cause you know... He's Leon. Anyways, he'd walk to a table near by and set the papers and books down.
"Your history home work is due when you get back to school."
Leon then turned half his face towards the kid, a grin there as he'd speak his next little bit.
"Though you've become seen. Nova Dragon."

Sudden shock rippled through him as Leon entered. Gabriel half expected thewrath but did not flinch if he was going to deserve this than he'd face it head on. But then he was given Homework? Gabriel stared a bit confused looking it over it was quite fortunate he was good at history. A small chuckle over the small thing.
"Though you've become seen. Nova Dragon."
Gabriel stared at him for a second not grasping the situation. He stammered openly a bit enthralled. The open mouth replaced by a rebellious grin.
"Thank you..." It was all he could say for the matter, he'd fought and got what he wanted but yet, there was so much more to accomplish. His first act as Dragon, and also his last would be to continue fighting til he'd proven it to himself. Such high standards.

"But do not take your title lightly. Also do not take the position you have lightly. If you give the Dragons a bad name it will come back on you."
Leon said quickly and matter-of-factly. It hadn't been done before, but it was known enough that if a Dragon has done something to displease the rest of them then it would come back on them. Numerous times had this been shown in the Dragons history of combat. But never done as a Dragons activity, just a show of standing between different ideals.
Being the second oldest still living Dragon, Leon was kind of like... An Elder of the Dragons. He had the most experience in being one, and held their ideals above all others in his life besides his way as a warrior.
"I met your true self while in combat, ambitious. Controlled. Though level headed enough to do what you set out to do. There is much for you to learn about self control, and combat, but you are above average already."

Gabriel sat, in his weakend state he felt almost pathetic in comparrison. He had indeed wanted more, his ambition would drive him to do as such, but in the meantime he had to heal, to become stronger and perhaps someday fight Leon again, this time as an equal. Gabriel's glare became one of intense respect for the elder Dragon before him, he was an adversary indeed someone to live up to.
"I will not fail you... nor the Dragons, I want to be stronger.. Can you teach me?"
Gabriel wasn't one to ask for help but this seemed to be a special case, if he were to become truly unstoppable he'd need to learn from the best and of course beat him. Impossible goal you might say? Indeed shooting for such a long goal would deem treacherous but then again Gabriel wasn't one for small things.
"I'm not satisfied with Average..."

Leon's eye brow would raise at the sudden request. This was usually done when someone had caught the guy off guard, though he himself didnt even know he did it. One of those ticks people are said to have it would seem. He would think on this. HE had one pupil already, one being trained. He thought on the traditions of his family. Sudeki where only allowed to have three pupils, and since his son - as is also tradition - was let go to develop as a fighter on his own. There was room for another...
"Even still you are filled with ambition. A drive for power."
Leon had to think on this for a moment, he needed to learn more about Gabriel before making a final descision.
"But is that all you want? Power? Status? Strength? What is most important for you?"
Leon grabbed a chair and sat down folding his arms. This would be a bit of question and answer for now. Leon would make his descision near the end.
~Only one person under my training has ever actually lived through it... I think he could.~

It wouldn't have been the first time his motives were called into question but what Gabriel saw here as opposed to all the others was the contemplative features on the man's face which made it look as though he was actually considering and not simply jumping to chastize him for even thinking of that equation. It was quite incredible in Gabriel's eyes to see such a noble act, something that made him feel even more deserving or at least understood.
"...One's own strength is all that matters, I need to change the world with that power... I need to be strong enough to change it." Gabriel said blatently and truthfully from an aching throat, though he did leave out one thing.
'For her....'

Leon could tell there was something else, a person doesnt show this kind of drive for power without seriouse reason. There was a catalyst in this boys life that caused him to make this descision and it haunts him so that the only thing that keeps his mind from it is the persuit of something better.
"First thing you have to know... True power comes from a need not a want. A want is something you could do without like power to simply have power. A need is something you wont be able to go on without. Needing power and wanting power are completely different."
Leon would let those words pass then move to his next question.
"That being said, why do you need power?"
Leon wasnt satisfied with a simple answer like that. Many people had come before him wanting power to change the world, but thats all it ever was for them, something they wanted. Why did he need Power?

Gabriel's lip tightened shut showing the first sign of being out right angry with Leon. he wasn't sure if it was simply his temper or the fact that Leon was getting close to the root that cause his spike in heat. His body felt an all too familiar wave climb over it and the liquaids around the area started to boil.
"I need it because I have to know she didn't die for nothing... i cannot let that be her end." Gabriel felt himself almost shouting now his voice starting to burn with an uncomfortable itch.
His face had gone red and eyes began to water. Fists clamped shut sending nails to dig into the present flesh in his palms. Breathing began to take control, much like Leon had said, he needed control and power was his medication to the pain. Power was what was going to bring them all to understand even the weak had a place in this world.

Leons eyes sparked new life as he saw the nerve he struck. Reaching out quickly, fluidly and with no intention of harm his aura would over flow the room with charisma. His hand laying apon the boys shoulder. Leon's calm demenstration should be enough to show the boy he meant nothing by hsi proding besides getting to its roots. In return Leon would reveal a bit about himself.
"When I was 19 and going to a school called Public High School 552, in New York city... A close friend of mine was killed by a gang she left a while back... From that day on I became a monster. A beast spawned of vengeance. I taught myself deadly art forms, learning to pick a person apart from the inside without leaving any visible wounds. I took under ground jobs alone and unarmed that alot of professionals wouldnt take with a whole team and heavy weapons equipment. I finally got the job I was looking for. 200 of the gangs members where said to be in a single place and I was hired for very little to take them all out."
Leon would lean back in his chair now and think back.
"I figured it was my only shot. I had been training for 2 years in none stop battle, putting my life on the line every day for an oppertunity like that. I took it. I took down an armed gang of 200 people by myself. All because of the power I had gained learning the fist of vengeance. Becoming the god of vengeance Vir himself... But Celeste never came back..."
Leon would look at Gabriel now conviction in his eyes now. Leons seriouse look was not without reason.
"Are you willing to lose so much of yourself in training that it would drive you mad? There has only been one person to live through my training. And I've had many students."

Gabriel watched his emotions calming focusing under control as he'd heard the tale, it was similar to his own. A school far up north They'd been surpressed by a hierarchy that had no intentions of defending the weak and a school system that surpressed it's students. Gabriel fought for them but wasn't strong enough. Olivia had seen this, that she'd never get away from a world where the masses were put through pain. And Gabriel had been unable to stop them, she comitted suicide in the room beside his. Leaving him so very much alone.
"Yes...To change this world I will lose myself...if that is necessary." Gabriel stared at him boldly and somewhat afraid.
He would see a world devoid of senseless acts, every evil would be done for the better, greater good. He would not become like Blaze and sit idly when change required action. He would not become like Emily and flinch at the moment where peace and evil fought for dominance. He would live up to his own end, even when death was imminant.

"Very well... When you heal. Go to the beach. Your training will start then."
And with that Leon would get up, and leave. There where things to prepare for this young Dragons training. He'd deal with the small issues later now was finding the big issues.
((OoC: Sorry about the small post))
