Welcome to Gaia! ::

RUN: BRUTEFORCE.EXE

Throwing his bodyweight counter-clockwise, Shouyin would bring the staff around, timing the swing so as to smash the wrecking ball into the oncoming clone's hip, relying on his own ultra-upperbody strength to attack quickly enough to hit the fellow before he could effectively duck or jump out of the way. The Shadow flame encompassing the ball would flare up wildly as he turned all about as well.

Regardless of whatever happened with the first guy, the half-golem would continue his spin, pushing stone from his palms into the shaft of the staff to increase its length enough that the ball would smash into each of the five surrounding Shadows one after the either, starting with the one behind Shou and to his left. While it was only a 360º rotation overall, the half-golem would use Sokugoku to 'see' what happened to each potential victim as his eyes fell upon the next one.

After the spin Shou would force the ball to smash down into the ground and grind to a halt.

Sadly, the man was way too pumped to notice all the suspicious stuff going on.

::Shouyin would hear a thud followed by the sound of chips hitting the floor. The sound of a staff with a stone ball at its end, impacting a black palm, as the one main attacker caught the ball dead in his hand. The hairline fracture across his hand were visible only by the sound of the broken bits of black hitting the floor. The shadow flames lashed up engulfing the mans arm, and despite the sight of his clothes ignited in flame, he didnt scream our cry out. It was as if he couldnt.

Immediately the four circling clones raised their right hands, and the stone staff found itself covered in black runes very similar to the runes that were placed on the wall Shouyin errected, they flew up the ball and down the staff.::

Heh heh heh...

::A small giggle was heard from a chair a few feet away as the shadow women laughed and gently flicked her wrist.

The 5th clone which had taken to staring straight forward at his own shadow which had stretched to connect to the attacker, pushed down sinking his hands into the shadow turning it thick. And immediately casting runes out to connect it, to each of the other shadows and the circumference between them. With the 6 shadows connected, without warning they splattered outwards.

A 20x20 square of space with Shouyin and the attack at its center was now covered in a very thing black veil, Shouyin was barefoot, that was true, but his feet were no longer on the ground. A thin layer of black prevented contact. It was something about being able to watch the fight from a distance without threat of harm, that let her figure out the trick.

As surprise faded, Shouyin would feel the runes ignite and shatter across his staff, turning it into stone bits which fell down, and found themselves absorbed into the black mat. The main attack, whipped his arms outward casting off the flames, and crunched his crumbled fist, letting each of the loose pieces fall, and then assumed his fight stance. Waving for Shouyin to bring his worst.

Meanwhile, the other 5 clones, had taken to digging their hands up to their wrists into the shadow mat on the floor and staring intensely at the fight going on.::

I suppose its time to see how well much you've payed attention to your studies...your going to need to do more than throw rocks...

::She called out to Shouyin with a giggle. And an innocent smile.::

Oh dear.

Siat, having established that there wasn't anyone in her room anymore, looked for her. It wasn't hard, she was -outside the window- for ******** sake. He decided to do the scary thing, and teleported behind her with a moderately loud VOOMPH sound.

"Hiya."

He smiled and disappeared again, then reappeared behind her, arms wrapped around her waist before she fell over. In another loud VOOMPH sound, both of them disappeared and reappeared in the clouds, and naturally began to fall.

"I said you could keep the money whilst we trained."

"So, let's see how you deal with high-stress situations!"

Siat seemed very much under control, even if they were simply plummetting at an increasing speed.

"In a few seconds, we'll be at our terminal velocity- that means that we'll fall as fast as we're gonna fall. After that, we'll start your training."

"Well, it's to find out the best way to raise the amount of surface area your body occupies, meaning you slow down."

He was smiling, grinning, even. He looked as though he had everything under control which, for the most part, was true. He then noticed that he still had his arms around her, and tightened his arms slightly- he couldn't let go of her, if he did she could be in real trouble.

"Oh come on, think about it. What's the best way to make your body block off as much space as possible?"

He didn't do anything to help her, really.

"Good!" Because he wasn't spread out, he re-latched almost immediately, they teleported back into his flat in another loud, firey VOOMPH.
