[[About a half hour before the events of Bane's post]]
Rajossi got up and stretched, he then ran to the toilet and threw up.
He had just remembered that it was the contest today, the one he had not a chance in a million of winning and quite possibly little more of surviving if the contestants where at all similar to the warriors he had encountered the previous day in the weapon shop.
Swallowing a glass of water down hard when he was sure there was nothing left of his meal teh previous night ready to make an atmospheric re-entry at any point, he looked out his window and sighed.
How was he going to do this?
He didn't even have armor.
And from the look of the armor shop not far away, there was no way he would get in it before the contest started with the amount of people standing outside it.
He started to dress, putting on his black jeans and t-shirt, then putting on the biggest boots he had, only to change then for his lightest ones so he would be able to move faster. He considered his coat, put it would make him an easier target, his opponent could just grab him by it and hold him still.
He ran a critical eye over himself in the mirror. Suddenly, the room started to spin, he was sure he was about to be sick again (or worse pass out) his head felt like it was about the split in two, but oddly, the rest of him felt numb. He was lying on the floor now, clutching his head, then all went black.

Leon continued to train one handed with the scythe, working in proceedingly faster movements so he could get used to the scythe's weight. I need to keep going, I don't want to be put to shame by Jubei and whoever else is on the team. Leon thought to himself, now working in two handed swings as well as switching from right to left handed attacks.
Half an hour later he started to work in kicks, and punches as well as high and low attacks.(He had used almost entirely mid attacks.)
The final attack he used was bringing the scythe around in a quick, low sweeping movement, that was followed by a frontwards, and backwards cresant kick, and was finished by bringing the scythe up as to attack his imagionary oppenent's head. The he collapsed, completely exhausted.
well I went a good long while, so fifteen minutes of rest then back to practicing. Leon thought sitting up.

Chris finished his shower a few minutes after he was finished singing. He realized something though... he had his pants (and boxers of course..) But completely forgot to grab one of his clean shirts. So quickly he put his dirty clothes into a small pile by the sink.
Determining he would be back for them in a few moments. Though.. it would be friggen cold as hell when he walked out the door. So he went ahead and dried off before throwing on his jeans, then with the towel around his neck and his hair a mess (like it always was...).
"... its good to be home..." He softly said as he looked to the mirror... though a lot had changed on him. Every scar he ever gotten in his life... was gone. Including the one Dart managed to give him when they were training. Chris and Dart got into it bad one day during practice. Dart having landed an arrow in Chris' left shoulder... and Chris having landed one of his blades in Dart's waist. They both ended up collapsing.. and thankfully the doctor who cared for Chris found them and patched em both up. Afterwards smacking Chris with a harisen. Telling him not to scare her like that again.
Shaking his head he shrugged. Showing his dismissal of the thoughts. Whether or not he knew what happened for the last two years... what he did know was he was home.

As Leon got up after sitting for fifteen minutes the sun light reflected off the scythe's blade revealing a small imprint on it, Leon saw this and inspected it. Kaze... It must be the scythe's name, weird... weapons arn't normally named unless there's somthing really special about them... as long as it isn't cursed, or harbors a demon spirit I'll be fine, even though the latter of the two would be quite interesting.
Leon started practacing agin, still staying within the circle.

Kormea got up with a hyperactive little skip of a jump, suppressing a giggle at his excitement.
He could almost smell the excitement of the groups leaving Costa Del Sol as he headed for the edges of El Sol for the small bit of the wilds separating them from Ivory del Sol.
He could feel the excitement buzzing around him, radiating from everyone like some sort of sweet body odour.
Next thing he knew he was on the ground.
What the ******** saw a face staring back at him, a concerned face, which was offering a hand in apology to bring him back up ("sorry about that" he said.)
His mood springing to a darker and more brooding suit almost instantly Kormea pushed himself up, and his eyebrows rose, he recognised the b*****d that pushed him over, it was the guy with the crappy ice materia not worth the bother of breaking into his room for.
Kormea was on his feet now, he said, in a low slightly aggravated voice
"It's fine"
Barging as hard as he could into the guy and knocking him to the floor for good measure so he would get the point anyway.
A pang of guilt attacked his insides.
What the hell?
Oh that little...
It was the kid doing this, sighing as he didn’t want to give the conscience a chance to work itself up enough to take control again, Kormea pulled the guy up gruffly and mumbled a "Sorry"(not mentioning his name deliberately as he wisent sure to use his or Rajossi's)
He walked on, the man close behind, almost on his damn heal, it was slightly irritating.
No matter, they where nearly there, and he would kick this guy's arse for pushing him over later.
He could almost smell materia buzzing in the air, butterflies where dancing in his stomach excitement rising...

"that was what we call around here a scrigish and they are very territorial and you wouldnt have sailed anywhere near here if youd know about em cuz thats a scrigish nesting ground" the man said as musa got closer he could tell the man was in his fiftees, he wore dull brown clothes and carried a gun with a strangly large barrel "well... what are you doing out here old guy and whats with the gun?". "I live out here its my job to try and help foreigners that sail over this place, and thats why i have this gun, it shoot flash bombs that blind the scrigish long enough for people to swim to shore" "mmhmm, well that is good of ya old guy, but I need to get going i dont wanna seem rude but ive got things to do so could you direct me to the nearest town?" "no problem! thats part O me job too, the nearest town is kirin it'd be a few miles out that way" the man says pointing off into the distance where the tops of some mountains could be seen "alright! thanks dude I'll see ya around maybe bring ya something for your trouble" musa says happily and starts walking. "its all right I get payed enough anyways...oh and be carful the monsters out their arnt too friendly!" the man says waving goodbye.

Leons eyes flash back to their normal color for a few seconds then went back to their altered state, red puples, irises sining silver, whites black. While he has training. His moves where now extreamly elaborate with the scythe. "Well Kaze, It looks like I will use you after all." Leon said to the scythe.
"Here you are Leon." Nyrra said running up to him.
Leon stopped training and turned towards her smiling. "Did you need something sis?" He asked.
"I couldn't find you... I thought you had left for the mission already." Nyrra answered.
"Nope not yet, but I'm training right now, so can we talk in a bit?"Leon said, then went back to the center of the circle.
"Mind if I watch?" Nyrra asked walking over to a tree a ways away from the minos corpse.
"Not at all." Leon said then continued his strenueous training to get used to the scythe, which he was doing well, but was a long ways off from being a master at it.

Shin's mother smiled warmly to herself. I wonder now... what fate will bring these two...The air seems heavy of anticipation, though the light dances freely now... There must always be a time, for the shadows parade... She straightened up hearing the singing stop and the water turn off. Just below she heard Shin get out of the extra wash room herself. She silently walked off into her room and closed the door behind her.
Shin walked out with a towel on her as she rubbed her hair dry. She wore a simple tank top that tied in the lower back and a pair of baggy short that also tied up at the ends just below her knees. She walked upstairs to go and get her gloves and bow.
"I wonder if Chris'll want to eat out today... I know mom wouldn't mind we bring her something back."
It was a good idea to her. The city itself may be bustling with interest since probably everyone their moms would have noticed the stranger had never left the house that night. Still was a lighthearted and calm town and it's nice to eat out in the fresh glee of the city... Usually.

Chris left the bathroom himself silently shutting the door. Drying his black and silver hair as he opened the door to her room. He realized something though.. She was already fully dressed... and he was only in jeans. Little bit of an awkward scene. Then again he could think of worse situations.
"Did you have a good shower Shin?" He asked smiling a little bit, both of his hands holding on to the end of the towel. After a moment however he took the towel off his neck gently putting it with her usual dirty clothing. And began to dress himself in one of his other sets of clothes. Specifically an interesting black shirt that he particularly favored. It had only one long sleeve on the left-side, and there was a gash across the edge of the shoulder, but it was sewn in there. Meanwhile the neck had a very very small collar, and ended similar to a V-Cut shirt.

From up up in a tree Jubei observed Leons strenuous training, it seems he himself had been up quite early and he had come to train in the woods as well.
Though he could have gained access to the advanced Ennersafe training facility's Jubei preferred to train in the wild as opposed to a controlled environment, also the less Ennersafe knew about his combat techniques the better.
Jubei took his pda from his belt and sent another e-mail to Cathrine
"I know that time keeping isn't one of your strong suits but this is getting ridiculous"
He then replaced the pda on his belt and Jumped down from the tree
"Your getting quite good with that scythe, but training alone will only get you so far"
Jubei took an aggressive stance as he finished speaking.

"Your right Jubei, Training alone will only get me so far but, a good spar with an experienced opponent will help a lot more." Leon said turning towards Jubei, and taking a semi-defensive stance holding Kaze in his right hand so that the blade rested behind Leons legs.
"Well then your move Jubei, and try not to go very hard on me... I've only had this scythe for, well not even a day. And knowing you, being an ex-enforcer, are more than experienced with those katanas."

There was a hint of a smile on Jubeis face as he said
"You'll be lucky if you even see me use them"
Without warning he took off at a remarkable speed and closed the distance between them with ease, just as he was about to come within range of the scythe Jubei cart wheeled left into a tree, using its surface to rebound and strike with a heavy kick from above and at an angle that Leon would not have expected.

Leon rolled with the kick, jolting to the side and rebounding off his left hand landing on his feet and bringing the scythe up at Jubei's waist. "Your fast! So, lets see how fast, schwarze herrschaft!" Leon started to spin violently to the right, stirring up a large amount of dust, Jubei lept back out of the attacks range, the Leon stopped spinning and sent the scythe hurtiling at Jubei, who lept over it. Kaze continued on its path cutting straight through a tree and imbedding itself in the ground. Leon un-sheathed his sword and took another stance.
((sorry i kinda had to move jubei a bit))

Bane smiled as he helped the young man up until he was shove to the ground withh all the man's force. He had bitten a large part of the side of his mouth and could feel a gloube of blood begining to form. He regarded the man darkly this time, he spit the blood from his mouth after the man had pulled him up roughly, muttering a less than half hearted apology.
Something was very different about the man now, this was not the sort of man to get drunk beyond human capability, like he had had the night before and just pass out. But maby this man was the kind who would break into his room, searching for materia. He would keep an eye on him, and most likely confront him in the tournament, but right now he wanted to hurry up and get there to scout the compitition. Right now he only saw a bunch of muscular half-wit's on the road, excluding the man from earlier.
He knew that trying to run while dodging all of the other warriors on the path would take to long, so he quickly jumped up to a branch in one of the large trees in the surrounding area and jumped from branch to branch, gaining an impressive pace. He continued on into the wilderness, making a clean path to Ivory Del Sol, his heart beating with excitement at the thought of fighting a stong opponent.
