Welcome to Gaia! ::

((previous post))

There was a medium-sized puff of blue smoke and when it cleared Razzer was standing in the lobby of the Training Hall. There was a map on the wall that showed what specialty each of the private rooms were. There was a row of Water Manipulation rooms just down the hall, and so Razzer decided to enter one of these and do a little practicing. He strode down the corridor and found an empty Water Manipulation room. He pushed the door open and entered.

The room was, aside from the walkway running around the room, almost completely flooded. There was a small island in the very center of the room, and a large fountain sat on the island.

Razzer walked right off the walkway and across the water to the island, forgetting to close the door behind him. "This room is perfect." he said to himself. He stood on the island for a few minutes and just stared at the water wondering where to start, which technique to work on first. He eventually decided upon working on his water clones, and seeing if he could improve how long he could hold them.

For several hours Razzer sat on that island, creating water clones with the immeasureable amount of water in the room. Finally he toppled over, completely exhausted, but happy. He could now hold his water clones far longer than previous. He lay on the island panting for about fifteen minutes, just trying to recover energy.

"Eventually someone is going to want to fight me." he told himself, and sat up. "And when they do I'll have to be able to take them down."

How he managed to keep going, Razzer may never know. But he managed to continue making and breaking water clones for several more hours. At one point he created four water clones and had them fighting each other, to see how many hits they could take before breaking. Now, nearly ten hours after he entered his training room, Razzer collapsed and flopped onto the ground, and didn't have the energy to get up. He could barely even keep breathing, let alone teleport back to his dorm. And it was on the small island that Razzer fell unconcious, a small draft from the open doorway blowing on his exhausted and worn face.

Kira happen to pass the couple into a new area in the courtyard. Though she had no clue where she was with it being pretty dark there with trees around. She was getting kinda worried since she wasn't used to the place and didn't like the dark much. Kept walking in circle with no hope finding out of there. Suddenly, she tripped and scraped her knee on a small piece of glass. Thinink it was best to rest because she was hurt and that she was tried from walking.

"Ow, that hurts," she wispred to herself. "Geez, when will someone come and help me. I have no clue where I am and to add I am tired from waling in circles," she said with little contepment. "WHERE IS EVERYONE!!" yelling at the top of her lungs, hoping that will help. Kowing that she been walking around for a while and ate a while ago. She pulled her knees up to her stomack for some comfort.

Zasz stood slowly and bowed deeply too her...
"i thank you for the invitation, but i must regretfully decline, i have decided it is time for me to acually do some training here, it is what i came for anyway..." his wings absorbed into his back slowly, he winces in pain once more.....walking over to her he stands next to her...
"perhaps we can speak again sometime, i would enjoy that very much..." and without another thought or word he simply walks away to the weapons training section of the Dojo....

Ananda watched him go, relieved. She was really starting to feel upset about what she had said earlier to Rille, but she hadn't wanted to abandon Zasz. She returned to her seat for a moment to gather her thoughts, then rose again. "I hope we do meet again someday," she said softly in the direction he had taken, even though she knew by now he was too far away to hear her. "I hope I'm still here someday to run into you again." She walked towards the door, and outside, blinking rapidly to adjust her eyes to the light, then began to wander the campus, searching for Rille.

Several bubbles drifting erratically to the surface of the water signified Razzer's return to conciousness. He opened his eyes and looked around. He was surrounded on all sides by blackness. During Razzer's lack of conciousness someone must have thought the room empty and turned off the lights. The only thing that gave Razzer any hint of his surroundings was the gentle swishing of his hair and the slow pulsating of his gills. There wasn't even enough light for Razzer to see his hand tentacle in front of his face, and this meant he had no idea which way was up. For several minutes Razzer swam about in random directions trying to find an indication of which direction he was facing, to no avail. And since he didn't know where exactly he was it was too risky for him to attempt to teleport.

Finally, Razzer came up with a plan to figure out his location. He concentrated and created a large air bubble around his persons. As he expected, he fell to the bottom of the bubble - which was to his left. Now that he knew which direction was up, it was simple for him to swim to the surface. Razzer broke the surface and swam to the ledge running around the room. He climbed up and walked around the ledge to the door, which was now closed. Razzer put his tentacle on the handle, and pushed. To his surprise, nothing happened. He tried again. The door was locked. Razzer shook his head. Stepping out of the way of the door, he summoned up a column of water out of the pool and lifted it into the air. Swinging it violently like a battering ram, the column struck the door and smashed it into splinters. The water broke when it broke the door, spilling out into the hall. Razzer made sure not to step on any of the wooden shards as he exited, and nearly did so when he slipped on the large pool of water outside the door.

He made his way to the exit of the Training Hall and looked outside. To his surprise, the sun was just beginning to rise to the east. "When I entered the training hall it was noon..." he said to himself. "How long was I out?!" Razzer cringed when his stomach gave a loud and angry rumble. He sighed. "Fine, fine, I'll get something to eat." he said to it. Muttering the words, he vanished once more.

Hearing Laurel call *I'm coming, Mi,* Micha stood up, and tucked her notebook back into her purse. A few seconds later, Laurel jogged up, out of breath and panting. "You didn't hafta run," Micha told her crossly. "Yeah, but you've been waiting for me," Laurel argued. "I didn't wanna make you wait more." "Alright. C'mon, I haven't been inside yet." The two walked into the training hall, and stood looking at the sign inside. Pointing silently to an empty practice room, Laurel grabbed Micha's hand, and pulled her inside. "Perfect," decided Micha. "Okay, Lor, you ready?" Laurel nodded happily. The two began to kick and punch at eachother, but because their minds were linked, when one struck, the other would block or dodge almost immediately, so neither one would get seriously hurt...or even hit at all.

The twins sank to the ground at the same time, both tired. "That was..." Micha started. "Yeah. But we..." Laurel continued. "I know. It's no fun. We should..." "Great idea! Lets." The two girls were so linked that they were each able to finish the other's thoughts without needing to hear them out loud. They walked out of the practice room together, hand in hand, and started looking around eagerly for someone interesting to ask for a practice fight.
