Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was still cold in Destiny City despite it being March. Honestly Adonis couldn't understand why, but he was glad his uniform was a bunch of heavy leathers. He wasn't as cold as he could be. Sure his stomach was, but for the most part, he was warm. It was a typical night for him. He had powered up and was now on patrol, trying to find something to do.

Today, however, he was actually ordered to teach a little Dark Mirror senshi the basics of fighting, despite this one being in the game for a bit longer. The blond waited at an abandoned warehouse near downtown Destiny City and just put his hands behind his head.

"He's late," the man complained out loud to no one. He was already very unimpressed with his charge for the night.

Morpheus felt that the weather was an improvement over the strange freezing weather they had this past winter. He was thinking of the huge ice sharps that fell from the sky when he was out with that girl. His memory still had holes in it but he was pulling the pieces together again. It was this past winter that Morph had remember that he was the dark mirror senshi of surrealistic. He needed the energy of mortals so he would be able to help his world he had a vague memory of believing humans were no more than bugs and their health meant nothing to him. They could lay with hardly any energy and die for all he cared. He shook that thought off if he let his energy source die where would he get more? Clearly it was better to be careful and not reckless. Morpheus was a bit distracted and had almost forgotten his meeting with the Corrupt who would be teaching him to fight. Finally he remembered and headed off into the night to meet his teacher.

When the senshi stepped forward, Adonis dropped his hands to his side and looked him over. "I know you're not new. I've felt you around before. I'm Adonis. I'll apparently be teaching you how to fight in the dark. I don't know who's brilliant idea this was, but let's hope it takes," a smirk appeared on his face and Adonis' brow arched as he spoke.

The man shifted then, getting into a defensive stance. "Now. Come at me. Let me see how much power you have behind a punch. No special attacks."

Morpheus nodded "I woke in the hospital with no memory." He said simply and then without warning he attempted to lunge forward to punch Adonis without using any of his magic. His magic was more illusion and distraction anyway. So his physical fitness was very important in battle.

A punch landed. He hadn't expected this one to know about a fake. Not too many did that. He managed to swing his face out of the way and got punched right in the shoulder, causing him to hiss out and lash with long, black fingernails. It was more of an instinct than any part of the training.

"Good! Again!" He rushed at the smaller senshi and swung with his right. He wasn't going to fake.

Morpheus nodded his thanks at the praise from his teacher. The counter strike caught Morph on the chest. He knew the attack was a risk but he was proud that he had hit the stronger person at all. He did his best to dodge the punch coming in, but he felt it would at least hit his shoulder or side. Morpheus's speed was not as fast as Adonis yet.

Adonis made a little noise and shrugged. "I think you just need more fights. Your instincts are fine. You'll be alright out there on your own..." The Super Corrupted senshi pushed a bead of sweat from beneath his bangs and flicked it to the side. "You actually had me sweating." It was hard to impress Adonis too. Slowly but surely, he was becoming interested in these new senshi who seemed to spring up every day.

"So... That's all I have for you. Even in this dim lighting you managed to dodge, throw punches, and take them."

Morpheus bowed his head keeping his eyes on Adonis in case they decided on one last lesson that involved kicking his a** for dropping his eyes. He would continue on his way then head back to his tiny apartment. Morpheus liked the darkness though it seemed Adonis preferred the light.
