Musashi walked quickly through the predawn city streets, trusting the others to maintain his brisk pace. If they looked around, they would notice that the buildings were run down, some shattered by weapons fire or painted over with varius gang symbols. Despite this appeareance, there was hardly anyone to be seen in the morning streets, and those who could be seen had no apparent gang symbolism. Musashi had taken care of most of the trouble when he had first arrived via some effective scare tactics.
When he reached the edge of the city, the saiyan took off, flying quickly over the outskirts and into the countryside. Approximately a half and hour of flying time brought the warriors to a heavily wooded area seemingly in the middle of nowhere. The saiyan gestured them down into a clearing, approximately 200yds by 400 yds. The area bore signs of heavy usage, with several craters that looked like they were blasted into the earth, and scoring from where powerful energy attacks had ripped the surface.
Musashi landed and spoke to the others, [glow=green,7,300]"We have arrived."[/glow] The saiyan put his back safely behind a boulder on the edge of the clearing, and unstrapped his twin blades, carrying them with him. He moved to the center of the clearing and said, [glow=green,7,300]"Now, let us begin the training."[/glow]
The saiyan drew one of his blades and demonstrated a blocking combination, as if he was catching an overhead strike from his opponent then turning it into a quick counterslash across his opponent's abdomen. He demonstrated similar technique with a cross slash and a straight stab. Musashi then put his blades down and said to Gareeku, [glow=green,7,300]"Either put down your blades and join is in sparring, or work independently on these techniques for as long as you feel you need to. Do them enought that they become reflex, not requiring any thought. Visualize the blade comming at you, feel the impact, and then do the strike at full speed and power, so your body will understand what you are teaching it. When you are ready, I will take a break from sparring and we can work on them together."[/glow]
He then turned to thorn, a dull golden aura glowing around his body as he initiated his energy generating transformation (see my class III on the main page). He spoke to the other fighter, who had obviously not been on Eden long, [glow=green,7,300]"A word of advice, do not try to beat me with pure strength, if you do, you will gain nothing, even if you manage to win the match. You must fight with more than power if you intend to learn anything from this excercise."[/glow]
When he finished speaking, the saiyan walked calmly to the center of the clearing and stood with his hands outspread, almost as a gesture of friendship. His feet were spaced evenly about twice his shoulder lengths appart and he stood with absolute calm noticing everything, the gentle southerly breeze floating through the clearing, the chittering of the animals climbing amongst the trees and the calling of the birds as they searched for a meal. When Torn made his move, Musashi would be ready.
