Gabe stood in the trainig feilds focusing his mind on just his blade.He held it out in front of his then in a swooshing sound swung it to the right,then the left.
He spent ages slicing his blade in different angles,strengthening his arms and knowledge of the blade.Theres only so much you can learn by yourself He thought.He wanted to fight other people.He needed to keep his sword sharp ready for evil,and if anything evil attacked him now then all the better.He sheathed his sword and sat cross legged and begn meditating.Focusing on all the good in him.He then began reciting his religeuos prayer in his mind.

((ok..nvm mind, just ignore this post, please))

Sakura looked up at the sun, it was almost directly above her causing her shadow to grow short. She looked back down and set off resting her staff on one shoulder so she wouldn't have to carry its full weight, the only bad thing about this staff was that it was taller than her and she didn't want to shorten it. She walked along the grassland taking advantage of the lack of people to spread her wings and take off to gain more ground.
Traveling won't bring back your memories you know Raven said.
Maybe I'll find a way to bring them back Sakura replied.
The answer could have been in Lomedor, the place you just left
Don't you ever give it a rest?
Hey, I'm only trying to help. I'm not evil remember
Well alot of people would get that impression
Hey, I didn't decide what I look like okay
Sakura landed after a while of flying as her wings began to grow tired, she folded them behind her thinking about what Raven had said. She set off walking again and suddenly noticed a short fence around an area of trampled grass, she raised an eyebrow and looked up at the man within it, he was sat in a meditation position. Sakura watched him curiousley.
What do you suppose he's doing?
Training? This looks like a training field to me
Sakura walked around the edge of the arena watching the man and wondering what he was doing. Training was obvious but why, what wouyld smebody like him be training for. She didn't want to wake him up incase he was the enraging sort. She walked closer causiosly.
"Um, excuse me. Are you busy?"

Gabe heard a womans voice peirce his thoughts of virtue."Um, excuse me. Are you busy?" She said.It took me a while to realise my surroundings as i had been somewhere miles away.I looked up at the woman and said "sorry i was miles away.No i'm not busy i was just meditating to focus my thoughts on my mission"He said.
Gabe wondered how old she was as her appearance was around 14 however apearanch meant nothing around here.
Gaberiel stood up at 7ft and expanded his large wings.he then tucked them back in behind his back.
"so this is a training feil,i suppose your here to train?"

After a while the man opened his eyes and looked at Sakura.
"sorry i was miles away.No i'm not busy i was just meditating to focus my thoughts on my mission"
"Oh, right" Sakura muttered.
The man stood up and turned out to be at least 7 feet tall, forcing Sakura to look up at him seeing as she was only 5 feet, he also had a pair of wings, although much larger than her own, he was either a full angel or an archangel.
"so" said the man "this is a training feild, I suppose your here to train?"
"what? Oh"
Sakura glanced around, the short fence and the trampled grass did indeed indicate a training field, and that was after all what the man had been doing.
"Well, not really no. I stumbled across here while traveling, I don't actually fight you know"
You don't but I do
Whatever, incase you haven't noticed your in the back of my mind at the moment.
And I'm not enjoying it one bit either

When gabe found out that she didn't fight he let out a burst of laughter not because he thought that she was stupid but because he was forced to fight and wasn't given the choice."Ah a knoble choice m'lady,knoble indeed.I wish i had such luxuries"
Gabe had a good understanding of magic and magical items and noticed the womans staff."that isn't a normal weapon is it?"
He liked this woman she seemed really innocent though here eyes showed a lifetime of experience.

Sakura was taken abak and felt extremely offended when the angel began laughing
"Ah a knoble choice m'lady," he said "knoble indeed. I wish i had such luxuries"
Luxuries, oh just wait till I get my hands on him
Sakura rolled her eyes at Raven's comment, her desire for fights was going to get her killed one of these days, and she'd onyl found out she existed yesterday. She looked back at the angel and noticed him looking at her staff.
Great, what now?
"that isn't a normal weapon is it?" the angel asked.
Sakura looked up at her staff then bakc down at the angel, it looked perfectly ordinary to her, after all it was just a staff with a pretty design.
"Well it belonged to my grandmother before she died" Sakura replied "I don't know if it can do anything special, I just like it and, I think it suits me"

"Hmmmmm" Gabe said sensing another magical presence he assumed to be the staff."ah well what would you like to do m'lady,train,walk and talk anything?"Gabe liked talking especially about the past as it gave him wisdom and inspiration.
He looked at the sky and sa some birds flying.He envied them Not a care in the world he thought.

Umbra walked down through the feilds of the Grasslands. She was headded to the training arena to practice her new abilities. She followed the way she took all the time and soon came upon the Traning Arena. She soon saw the two in it. One she knew called herself Sakura, the other she had never seen before but she smiled when she heard the words train. "ah well what would you like to do m'lady,train,walk and talk anything?" he asked her. She walked to the three foot end of the fence and smiled. "If she does not wish to train and you do then I would be happy to be your partner." she said. The half demon nodded to Sakura, "It has been a while Sakura. How have you been?" she asked while waiting for the man to answer. She looked around. Luckly Migan was not around to stop her from fighting an Archangel. If he found out he would go crazy, well crazier than usual.

Gabe looked at the new woman and she saidIf she does not wish to train and you do then I would be happy to be your partner."Gabe looked at her then back at sakura,"ill train with whoever,in fact we could alltrain?" he questioned.
He started doing brief stretches he drew his sword and sung it a little bit getting reay to fight.
This should be funHe thought.He wondered what experience these people had with weapons.

"Hmmmmm" the angel pondered what Sakura had said, she raised an eyebrow "ah well what would you like to do m'lady,train,walk and talk anything?"
Sakura shrugged.
"Not much really"
Sakura's attention was changed from the angel to the sound of another voice, which she recognised as Umbra.
"If she does not wish to train and you do then I would be happy to be your partner" Umbra said "It has been a while Sakura. How have you been?"
"I'm fine, Umbra" Sakura replied "nice to see you again"
She looked up at the angel as he replied.
"If she does not wish to train and you do then I would be happy to be your partner. Ill train with whoever,in fact we could alltrain?"
"Well, I don't actually fight" Sakura said as the angel drew his sword after stretching.[I]
No, but I do
Oh give it a rest
Come on let me show this guy what I can do. You hog
Hey, it's my body
No it's our body, now let me show him what I can do.
No, last time you nearly got us both killed
Hey I knew what I was doing.

Zerozaki kicked the dummy one more time, sending it crashing into a bush. He landed on his toes, sweat dripping off his chin like a waterfall. He walked over to his waterskin and dumped it on his head. He felt the cool water glide down his back. He loved to practice on things that didn't hit back. Whoah! His eyes caught attention to a beautiful girl walking into the training area. She had dark hair and an air of sophistication around her. Heheh.. Jackpot... Slightly dazed, he dropped the skin on his head, which he quickly recovered and put with the rest of his belongings. Looks like Zero's on the prowl... What the?! The girl began to talk with a gigantic angel person. He couldn't hear, so he snuck into a nearby bush to eavesdrop.

Oh.. I see how it is... not this time, buddy. Jealousy was boiling through his veins. Just cause you have big, fluffy wings doesn't mean you can nab all the women! He stood up and strolled over to the crowd of people. No fear, Zero, you got this in the bag... He opened his mouth to speak just when the dark girl made eye contact with him. The words faltered and made a wierd whimpering sound. Shaking his head, he tried a retaliation effort. "Heh, sorry, I'm kinda tired. I was wondering if you knew a bit of magic to help me train? I got this cool move and I need to test it on some magic!" He put his hands on his sides and gave her the biggest smile he could muster. Her facial expression didn't change. God I'm such a loser...

Umbra glanced at the newcommer who was also wanting to fight. She nodded her head, "I am a magic user sir. I could help you train if you want." she said placing one hand on the fence and jumping over it. She landed in a crouch position and got up smiling at Sakura. "You look troubled Sakura...Anything you wish to talk about?" she asked her friend as she got ready to train.

She stood in the middle of the arena. "What kind of spell do you need?" she asked him as she flexed her hands ready to use a spell.

Gabe turned to the newcomer and saw through his cheesy smile.
"I also have knowledge of the arcana,if that would be of use to you good sir"He said making an equaly big smile.
He sheathed his blade and waited for the newcomer to reply.This newcomer seemed young and rash and very inexperienced.
Gabe relized he was being childish but this was fun,it reminded him of when he was young.
No,women aren't for our amusmentHe thought.He decided to drop the act."so are we training or not"Gabe asked.

The Archangel bowed up and made a smile that matched Zero's cheek for cheek. Oh, I see, Holy boy is mocking me... The angel sheathed his sword and went back to a serious tone. "so are we training or not?" Zerozaki forgot that he did cast magic; he was too caught up with trying to outsmile the heavenly rival. Before he could say something brash, the pretty girl intervened:

Yes!.. Take that, Saint Nobody! He did a small punch of victory directed to the air, but he caught himself before he made a fool of himself. The girl calmly hopped over the fence and turned back to Zerozaki. "What kind of spell do you need?" Huh?.. Uh oh.. I don't know a thing about spells! Think, man.. THINK! It was useless. He was as ignorant about magic as he was about women. He flipped over the fence for some flash and stood some twenty yards from the dame. "I don't care, pick your favorite! Make it strong, cause I'm a pretty tough guy, ya'know! Put some pepper on it!" He smiled again and took stance. Heh.. I'll just hook kick it into the ground.. piece of cake! The girl began to glow eerily. ..Gulp.. I hope...

Umbra looked in the distance past Sakura. 'This guy has no clue what he just set himself up for.' she thought then turned to the newcommer who was itching for a fight. "I don't care, pick your favorite! Make it strong, cause I'm a pretty tough guy, ya'know! Put some pepper on it!" She gave a smile and closed her eyes. She gave off a red glow, getting ready to use a fire ability. "Pepper? Well if you want "pepper" then I will give it to you, she began and turned to Sakura and the archangel, "Watch yourselves. she told them and shifted her right foot. "Aruke!" she said and she turned into a purple blur. She stopped about five feet from him and lept into the air. "AIT MA RU NASNE CAR SHAO" she said and lashed her hands out in front of her.

Suddenly spots appeared in the sky. Debris from who knows what began to fall from the sky in the Ashen Shower attack. She smiled as they hit the ground around him. After a number of explosions she landed. "Does that have enough "pepper"? Or do you want me to kick it up a notch?" she asked. "Because that was not even close to what I can really do with that spell." she said.

Sakura looked up as another newcomer arrived, this one a stranger, she noticed him looking at Umbra and tried hard to prevent herself giggling at them both. He made several odd noises before finaly saying;
"Heh, sorry, I'm kinda tired. I was wondering if you knew a bit of magic to help me train? I got this cool move and I need to test it on some magic!"
"I am a magic user sir. I could help you train if you want"
"I also have knowledge of the arcana,if that would be of use to you good sir"
Sakura looked from the angel to Umbra, she didn't doubt either of their abilities as they were both more expierienced than her in this form.
"You look troubled Sakura...Anything you wish to talk about?"
"What? Oh, no there's nothing. I'm fine"
"What kind of spell do you need?"
"I don't care, pick your favorite! Make it strong, cause I'm a pretty tough guy, ya'know! Put some pepper on it!"
Well, he's overconfident isn't he
Hey, give him a chance
Umbra leaped into the air and cast ashen shower, Sakura looked about at the firey debri hit all about.
"Does that have enough "pepper"? Or do you want me to kick it up a notch? Because that was not even close to what I can really do with that spell."
Wow, she's good, bet he's surprised
Sakura had absent mindidly leant against the fence and so didn't notice that she'd frozen part of it, she looked around and pushed herself upright instantly.
"Oops" she muttered "sorry"

((OOC hok kicks kick side wards not down wards))
Gabe stood and watched as the idiot was struggling to find a spell.He said "ah well you can train him if you want but i'd watch out he seems pretty arogant"Hoping the man would respond.Gabe flew up in the air and stuck his tounge out to the imbisile.

((OOC: Hook Kick ranges from a low kick to the foot or a high kick to the side. The term is used loosely, seeing as any hard kick with a bent knee is called a hook kick. ))

Zerozaki did a few practice punches, crouched low, and prepared for the hook kick. The pretty girl jumped high into the air, the glow becoming brighter and fiercer. "Aruke!" What?! She jumped in the air!... He switched his battle stance and prepared for an arial attack. "AIT MA RU NASNE CAR SHAO!!"

Little rocks moving at a dangerous velocity began to blast the ground around him to rubble. He jumped up and punched one. BAM!! It exploded on impact and charred Zero's knuckles. OWW!!... He then used his protected feet; twisting midair and landing 6 kicks in rapid succession. He hit the ground, his shoes smoking and gasping for air.

Umbra: "Does that have enough "pepper"? Or do you want me to kick it up a notch? Because that was not even close to what I can really do with that spell."

Between breaths, Zerozaki laughed it off. "Yeah, that was spicy enough for me. Now throw me one big one, just one big one." He wiped off his brow and grabbed his knees. Man, I'm tired... He heard something from the corner of his ear:

This sparked a fire in Zerozaki's heart. Now with a spirit of competition, he caught a 2nd wind. He stood up and prepared for the attack. "Throw it. I'll show you what I've got." He stretched his stance and prepared for another powerful blast from the girl. All the muscles in his body relaxed simultaneously. He closed his eyes. Let's do this...

Umbra smiled slyly at the comment the angel had made. "Ah well you can train him if you want, but I'd watch out he seems pretty arrogant." She shook her head. "No. He is not that arrogant. If you want arrogant find a thunder demon named Barak. He is arrogant. Which is why he looses all the time, he cant focus." she replied turning to the fighter. "Yeah, that was spicy enough for me. Now throw me one big one, just one big one. Throw it. I'll show you what I've got." he said.

She shook her head. 'We will see' she thought and took a deep breath and raised her hands in the air. "One big one comming up! CAIR SUYAO ACT DOAU" She chanted. She threw her hands down and a large chunk of debris came from the sky. It flew towards the man and she watched, shifting her foot and got ready to cast blur to get him out of there in case he could not handle it.

(ooc The energy of a hook kick goes to the side,if it goes down it's an axe kick)
Gabe looked at the woman leaning on the fence and said "so how do you survive your battles then you must have some form of defending yourself?"
Gabe looked at her and ignored the other two,not caring what they do.

((ooc: we already discussed this in PMs, man. You say tomato, I say hook kick.))

Zerozaki looked up and saw something huge part the clouds. Whew.. that's pretty big... Ok, let's do this... He widened his stance and expanded his muscles. He opened his eyes to see that the meteor-like object was closing in fast. No turning back! Hit it!! He crouched to the ground and kicked off lightning fast. His hair brushed from his face and flew behind him like a golden banner. He let his foot lead. Heta was blazing off of the thing, its size was much bigger than what Zero had predicted. AYAAAA!! DRAGON KICK!!!

His body changed in a split second. His leg stretched a foot longer, claws retracting from his shoes. His flying hair now became a giant wing-like fin. His body bulged as at least 100 more pounds of muscle was added instantly. His eyes, still the same burning green color, flashed with fervor. On impact, his body never buckled; but the meteor did. It split directly in half, and Zerozaki continued to fly through. The remains crashed tot he ground below, and Zero landed feet first with a THUD. He returned to his human form, and winked at the girl. "Thanks for the workout!"

San shou walked to the training feilds and saw a group of people standing around.One of them was a martial artist like himself.He walked over to him and said "Hello" And bowed. "Would anyone like to sparr with me,i'm good i promise."
Guenwhyvar the panther not far behind licking her paws.San shou began stretching,doing the splits,putting the backs of his hands on the floor while keeping his knees straight. He then started doing rising kicks to warm his legs up.

Umbra looked surprised. "Not bad. And you are welcome." she said smiling. He had impressed her, the debris was larger then she usually did and he spilt it in to. "Not bad for a half dragon. I guess I should have kicked it up a notch. She gave a laugh and turned and walked over to Sakura. "So Sakura what has happened since the last time we met? You seem a little different." she said to the girl. She laughed realizing she froze the fence. She turned to the newcommer. "Sure pick an opponent. I can spar or someone else can." She replied streaching herself.

Yes!.. Zerozaki returned her smile. ...You better believe I impressed her. He returned to his waterskin when a stranger approached.

The man was warming up. He had high kicks; and by the look of the blur that was his legs, they were hard too. Righteous! It's not everyday I get to test my skill against another fellow martial artist! The archangel looked very bored, and was trying to strike up a conversation with the other girl. "Sure, I'll be your sparring partner. But only if 'The Holy Guy' will join us! It'll be a one-on-one-on-one. As long as your kitty stays out of the fight." Zero laughed. This outta be fun..

Gabe tookthe insult as a challange, " I may be a sword fighter but i pack a hard punch" He lied the archangel only sparred a couple of times with his master,it wasnt his strong point I can fly if it gets to out of handHe thought.
He began doin some stretches trying to act as if he had a clue what he was doing.

San shou was doing the flashieat moves ever hoping to fool his enemies into beleiving that all he did was flashy moves.However when he fought he kept things simple.
He finished stretching and the man said "Sure, I'll be your sparring partner. But only if 'The Holy Guy' will join us! It'll be a one-on-one-on-one. As long as your kitty stays out of the fight." San shou let out a laugh and said "He can sparr f he wants,and dont worry kitty will stay out of this"
He turned to the angel he saw that the angel clearly had no idea how to prepare for sparring "Are you sure you wish to sparr us?" He said as he frowned.
He then stood up and said "Let us sparr"
The thing san shou licked most about sparring was the mass attack in which multiple opponents are fighting.
San shou cleared his mind and focused on the fight as a whole not focusing on individuale things that ould surely mean his downfall.
He stood on guard keeping his back hand by his face and his front arm low so he could strike out and the opponent wouldnt see it until the last moment.He kept on his toe's ready to snap a kick out to someone's shin or knee.

Zero bowed to both partners, and entered his stance. His strong hand lead; his other tucked into his body for defence. His legs moved at random variables, trying to make Zero's movement as unpredictable as possible. He looked at the pretty girl, hoping to catch her eye. She's looking away! I'll have to get her attention...

Zerozaki was already hyped to begin the match. He began to circle the angel, looking for a weak point. Man! I can't see his legs because of his fluffy wings! Better not gamble at it... He dove from behind him and grabbed at San's lead hand to initiate a grapple.

Umbra looked back at the battle and sat down. The two newcommers were fighting the arcangel. She especially watched the human. He seemed strange, like he was trying to show off. She glanced at Sakura. She seemed different than the last time they met. I wonder what is the matter? she thought as she continued to watch the fight.

The man with the panther was ready to go while the angel seemed unsure of himself in the ways of battle. Which was strange considering how archangels are supposed to be great fighters. And the human seemed clumsy, like he could not focus. "A little klutzy that human. I wonder what keeps him from focusing?" she said to Sakura. The man had jumped for the angels hand, she wondered how the angel would react.

((Hm, I got a bit of catching up to do here))

Sakura watched with interest as Umbra tested the man's abilities with an ashen shower spell, he punched the first, decided against it and then began kicking.
Amature
"so how do you survive your battles then you must have some form of defending yourself?"
Sakura shifted her gaze to the archangel.
"Simple, I don't fight" she replied simply.
She turned her attention back to the man training with Umbra and immediatly noticed another person turn up with a panther wanting to spar, she rolled her eyes.
Why must everybody fight, what's the point
The man seemed to show off alot too.
[COLOR=navy]I recon he's trying to impress Umbra rather than train
What gave you that idea?
He far too eager for training or sparring, he's trying to catch her eye the arrogant fool
Oh leave him alone

As zero grabbedt at san shou's hand he twisted his wrist so he couldnt be caught He then kicked at his leg.His opponent stood lead leg first like himself his stance was loose and flowing.He then remembered an important aspect to training Broken rythem
He began looking for oppenings in his guard and realised that because his guard was so simplie there were none.

The newcomer was quick. Noticing his grapple, he flipped his wrist out of grabbing distance. He then raised his knee and tried for a low kick. Oh, going low on me. eh?.. Side-stepping the kick, Zero spun, faking a hard spinning backfist at head level. Though his opponent was well out of range; the move set the stage for Zero's real intention. Gaining the momentum needed from the backfist, he flung his leg out; swinging it lightning-fast and aiming for the midsection with his hybrid roundhouse kick.

San shou saw the backfist but ignored it as he knew it was to far away to hit him.Then noticing a shifting of wait on his opponent he saw a kick come.San shou stepped in close so the kick wouldnt cath him and attempted to sweep his opponents leg whilst palming him in the chest.

Wow! He saw the kick coming!... His opponent had him in close quarters. With a quick sweep and push to the center of his chest. Reluctantly, Zero backflipped over his arm and landed out of reach, then taking two steps back to ensure safety. He was aggrivated that he had to retreat, but intrigued by the stranger's skill. "Good catch, man. Now try this!" Zero feinted a jump kick, allowing him in close quarters again. He placed his foot in his chest and grabbed one of his arms. He brought his other foot high and kicked hard, parallel to his opponent's shoulders. His intention was to knock the man's head for a loop, but that's not what happened...

A small ball of light flew through the sky. It was light blue in color and almost matched the sky itself. Floating over the grasses taking an occasional dip downwards to smell a flower or two was a small lumnia. It giggled as the wind helped it float gently above the grasses being carefull not to be taken too much forwards or it might fly out of control. It carefully floated in the breeze and closed its eyes enjoying the day. Silently it went on caring for nothing at the moment, and just enjoying life.

The sun was bright as it was at the moment of noon and it felt the warmth rain down on it. "The God of Light must be very happy today for it to be this wonderfull." it said as it sat on the ground for a moment. The grasses towered above it and it soon saw a small ant. It smiled and waved at it. The ant merely went about its busness comming closer to it. It smelled it with its antenna and it giggled at the movements.

The ant left the lumnia and it waved goodbye and decided to continue on its journey. A few moments passed and it heared some noise. It turned to find a large arena in the middle of the feilds. It flew in to take a closer look. Two men and an angel were fighting while two females were watching. It flew in closer but was suddenly caught by a swift breeze. Before the small lumnia knew what was happening it flew into a girl hitting her shoulder.

The lumnia fell at their feet. It rubbed its head and looked up at the two females. One had dark hair and the other had what appeared to be light red but it might have been mistaken. It floated up and nodded to the girl with light hair. "My appologies miss. I did not mean to hit you. I was flying when a gust of wind blew me towards here. I sencerely appologise for anything I did to harm you" the small being said.

As gabe saw strange figure fall through the sky his intetions fell on the two fighting they were clearly better than him.He saw that zerozaki had san shou's arm.gabe sprinted up to san shou and threw a punch toward his face.
he decided to use san shou's bad situation against him.
