Amaya returned just as Sakura finished speaking.
"What she say, brat?"
Yukio pinched his nose bridge as Amaya chuckled. "Gonna say something, kid?"
"We're training." The boy said simply, eyes not leaving Amaya's face as a smirk formed.
"Looks like you're stuck with me, shorty!"
A groan was heard. Of all things, she's training him? Argh.... At least Sakura spoke what he thought, that they shouldn't just have rushed in. Man, what were they thinking?
"So, what happened while I left, hm?"
"The rest decided to head of to Fola's capital and attack the gang's base." Yukio whispered. Snorting Amaya rolled her eyes, disbelieving. At Yukio's stern face, Amaya nearly face faulted. Really? With no plan? Never mind then...
"Yeah, I see why we're training now..."

"Er... Akari... You aren't going to...?" The air tribe member trailed off, remembering the bruises he got the last time he sparred with Akari.
"...What do you think?"
Immediately, Arashi tried to run, but predicting those movements, Akari swept her foot in an arc on the ground, kickking her friend's legs from under him. Grabbing him by his collar to keep him with them, she turned to the rest, waiting to see their reactions, though glancing at Sakura out of the corner of her eye.
She'd make a good strategist one day...
((Last sentence referring to sakura ><))

Peace "Akari you need to teach me how to do that". Shane kinda rolled his eyes at Peace's response. Ladia "anyway, training may be a good idea (glancing at Sakura) Peace, Shane I want you to train seperately". Shane "but...". Peace looked at Shane, Shane looked at Peace and then they both looked at Ladia shivered and went in separate directions (not scared at a knife at there throat just a 15 year old they know). Ladia "there we go".
Shane
"Might as well study this thing". He said staring at his knife, he scanned it looked at the carved in runes and did motions with it trying to see if he could trigger something. "How come I have so much trouble with this when Peace figured out his in a matter of seconds".
Peace
"I can try out that move I've been working on at least". He stabbed his staff in the ground and focused his ability, the ground below opened up and he went in. "did it work?". He said as he grabbed his staff and found his rock landmark, and realized. "I only traveled a foot, okay lets try again".
Ladia
She unsheathed her sword and made a single movement, and 2 seconds later her target tree fell over. "I think I can handle myself". She said choosing her next target.

>:( had a response then accidentally shut tab
But I'd hope she'd make a good strategist too Soltra XD if only she shut up.

Sakura nodded at Akari who had beaten Arashi before they began. She was good, but she knew Arashi too well. It was a nice move though. Sakura headed towards the friends, hoping to make their training more productive. She noticed that Shane, Peace and Ladia had split up. Shane was just standing there staring at his knife, looking troubled. "Oi Blue Boy," she called out to Caldwell, who was leaning against a tree and looking as though he didn't know what to do with himself. She nodded towards the younger of the two brothers. Caldwell seemed to catch her drift and went towards Shane.
"Sweet move Akari," Sakura said, coming to a stand still in front of her and Arashi. "Maybe you could teach me... although... it does seem rather easy. I'm sure almost anyone could master it." Sakura raised her eyebrow at Akari. She hoped that she'd take the bait and engage in a fight with her instead of Arashi. She moved her hands up and drew two relatively sword sized sticks from the grounds with her powers. Oh boy, I love practice fights, she though, chucking one of the sticks to Akari. She grinned and got into a fighting stance.
~~~~~~~~~
Caldwell dragged himself off of the tree, not wishing to have Sakura come after him. He supressed a groan. When he agreed to help these guys, he didn't think there'd be this much socialising. I just want to go home, he thought, before realising that he sounded like a child. He barely managed to wipe the bitter look off of his face before reaching Shane. "What's wrong Kid?" he asked, before noting that he was preoccupied with his knife. Ahhh, he doesn't know what it does still. Caldwell glanced at the runes on the blade. "You don't necessarily need to know what it does currently. You just need to know how to use it in a fight," Caldwell said, as softly as he could. He smiled at Shane.

"Hey, brat, you want to wait or...?" Amaya asked as she watched the rest of the group split off.
"Heh." Came the reply. "Let's see what happens next. We'll practice afterwards."
Giving a nod to show her acknowledgement, the taller teen leaned against the nearest tree, fiddling with one of her daggers. Glancing at his companion for a brief second, the white-haired teen turned his attention back towards the main 'attraction' - Akari and Sakura.

"Heh, sure, I can teach you, and you know what? You're right. It's an easy move, but not when you have to pull it off in a battle and have to do a 360!" Akari s******ed, remembering the last time a bunch of trainees went up against her father.
"Hey, Shane!" She called out, remembering Peace's request. "Tell your bro I'll teach him!" Not looking to see if he heard -she could always tell Peace herself- she called out to Arashi to watch closely, and learn a bit of close combat. Standing at a 'ready' position -body sideways, weight on back foot and the practice weapon held akin to that of a billiards player- she awaited the shout from Arashi that would signal the beginning of the match. Now, she wondered if she could pull of her spinning attacks...

((LOLIIIIIIIII HELP!!!!! How do we write a fight scene like this? D: Also, I'm passing Arashi over to you so you can get him to shout start XD Other than that.... Is the fight gonna be 1-4 sentence long per user?))

*sorry back tracking a little*

Unfortunatley for Sakura, Shade did note that her comment was pointed at her. "HEY! I wasn't being reckless. If I was being reckless you'd all be dead. Ask Dmitri." Dmitri chuckled and nodded. "Seriously guys, she is right."
She made a face to the others which said 'Told ya so, you...'. "Anyway, I'm happy to do training. Me, Dmitri and Harry have some stuff we could work on. Oh, and if you think that was reckless then would you like to explain how all of you are unaffected by the whole ordeal? If I was being totally reckless, surely you'd all be running around screaming because I'd accidently scolded your asses?!" With that, she turned and headed to a spot near the edge of the clearing to start training with her friends.

Shade and Dmitri stood side by side, facing Harry. "Right, to start off with, I was thinking we could make a combo between you two, that way it makes it easier t owork together and knock out multiple grunts." Harry said. The other two nodded in agreement. "Well I suppose we could do a booster...or!" Shade motioned for Harry to move. She set fire to her blade, the others could see that was not easily done, and she threw it. "DMITRI!" He crouched on the ground and they could feel a slight gravitational pull as the Dagger swung back into Shade's hand like a boomerang. She smiled. "I don't think that's quite what you meant...But still, could be useful." Harry nodded in concentration. "No. That's not completley useless, we could use that with your fire. It could be used as a distraction. You have a flamethrower pointed at the grunts, it distracts them as they run away from the flames, you let Dmitri run down the middle, unseen and unharmed, then he can go in for the kill." Shade and Dmitri nodded.
Shade flipped forward and did as harry had suggested. When prompted, dmitri sprinted down the middle then stopped when he was out of the flames. He looked at his hands, slightly burned. "Sorry." Shade said. "We need to work on that. Great idea Harry." Harry smiled determined. "Again." He ordered.


From the sidelines, Shade's family watched. "She'll be good. I'm sure of it."

Shane

"thanks Caldwell, but I would like to know what it does I mean Peace's gives him powers just look". He pointed to Peace who was still trying to teleport through the ground. "I guess I'll find out later". (yelling) "Peace, Akari said she will give you a lesson".

Peace

(yelling) "thanks for the info". Peace ran to where Akari was and saw that she was fighting Sakura. Peace ended up deciding to join in. Peace made a rock wall in between the two. "surprised, you should be ready because when we fight it is never one on one" (3 way training battle initiated).

Ladia

"I hope the boys actually did what they were told". She walked out of the woods to see Shane and Caldwell looking at the knife and saw Peace about to fight with Akari and Sakura. "I didn't expect them to do that". She said thinking that Peace is finally doing a battle by himself, she sat on a nearby boulder curious how it will go down.

((So... We can attack each other now? I'm just gonna kick it off... So my other chars save Akari are just watching us >< Also, what weapon is peace using? A wooden stick like us or...?))

"Heh." Smirking, Akari shifted her back foot sideways, leaning towards her right and she dashed towards Peace in a wide arc, aiming for his neck. "Careful, or you'll be the first one out!" She shouted in a glee. Heh, not like anyone would catch her anyway, she was one of the fastest in the army of course, and also the strongest.

"If anyone of you are tapped in fatal areas, you're out!" Came a shout from Arashi, as he shifted backwards, finding his way to Amaya and Yukio.

(Can Amaya just randomly jump into the match later?))

(and soltra he did not hit you just made a surprised entrance)

Peace
Peace"I can't catch you but you can't catch me " he said grinning. As he disappeared from view (his transport only works about five feet now) and tried to get Akari with a stick right next to him.

Ladia
(thoughts) "That's new"

(yeah, anyone can join in I suppose! And you can make your other characters be doing other stuff if you don't want them just watching)
"Hmmm, interesting," Sakura said under her breath. She stood in a defensive position, purposely a bit away from the group. Hopefully they'll tire each other out and then I'll join in, she though, keeping a close eye on Peace and Akari fighting.
"You're part of this too," Caldwell whispered from behind her, pushing her towards the fighting. She stumbled within a few metres of Peace, who was trying to sneak up on Akari. She gave Caldwell a very dirty look, but he just smiled at her. Idiot. Sakura casually swung her stick down low, hoping to trip Peace over on his way to Akari. Then he'd be open, and hopefully whilst Akari went for the fatal hit, she could get her as well.
(Peace, you can decide if Peace actually trips XD )

Ladia
"Peace Wake up there's more than one opponent!".

Peace
"whoa". He says jumping to dodge Sakura's attack and hits his stick on the ground to push him away from his two opponents. "nice try, but I basically been using a stick all my life". He says pointing to Ladia who has his staff at the moment. "This is fun". He says grinning and takes a step back and goes into a defensive position.

Shane
He slips his knife back into his belt, and tries to practice his archery skills. He takes a single arrow, and aims at a target. Arrow "whizz". The arrow goes sailing past the target entirely. Shane "(deep sigh) I better go get the arrow back". He puts his bow back over his shoulder and heads to were the arrow went.
