"Again!" shouted Joseph Masarsky at his 13 year old son Benjamin who he was attempting to teach sword fighting too. It had been one year since that fatal day that Joseph's wife and daughter died. he got rid of the stress by doing things like sword fighting with his son.
Ben ran at his father and tried to hit him with the steel Katana in his hands Joseph deflected it easily with his two Rapiers, and smacked his son gently across the head.
"Come now Ben, if your ever gonna get me your gonna have to practice harder here I'll make it easier, I'll use a Katana too, after all Rapiers are my specialty!"
"Dad you make it look so easy My Katana should slice those swords in half!"
"Yeah well I'm just that good! Come on Let's try it again!"
Ben ran at him at twice the speed of the last attack and whipped out his Katana and put a nice cut in Joseph's shirt."
"Very good Ben! But I think I did you one better look at your pants!"
"Oh my god where are they!"
Ben looked and saw that his father and shredded his pants to pieces in the same amount of time that it took him to scathe his fathers shirt.
"Dad this is stupid no one uses swords anymore. Hell! They didn't even use the when you were a kid! If you want to teach me to defend my self teach me how to shoot a plasma gun at someone or a shock wave cannon!"
"Oh you think so Benjamin? You think I could do the same thing I did with this Katana to your pants with a gun? You think you could make me bleed with a gun? Then here lets see If your right, but I get to use my rapiers."
Joseph went over to a cabinet in the basement where his secret training room was and took out a brief case. Joseph entered an access code and took out a gun that had bright white bullets that gave off some sort of holy light. He tossed the gun over to Ben.
"Its loaded Ben, go ahead shoot me."
"Dad come on I'm not going to shoot you."
"Shoot me Ben."
"Dad I could kill you!"
"SHOOT ME!"
With a shaky hand Ben pulled the trigger of the gun. Joseph's eyes glowed red and he vanished the next second he had Ben 2 feet off the ground and was holding him by the throat and in his other hand was both his Rapiers and one white bullet sliced in two.
"When you learn to control swords like I do guns are meaningless. This is why I train you in this room of steel not in a room of gunpowder and bullets. I teach you the way to kill anyone and anything. Always remember that Ben. Always."
Ben awoken from his flashback dream and realized that he knew exactly where the room of steel was. He hadn't forgotten the lessons his father taught him. He stilled used blades tot his day.
