 As Dantalus landed on his butt. Soma looked at him with an serious expression. Soma knew that Dantalus would only get stronger if he took this to the next level and made Dantalus release his box weapon. As Soma heard what Dantalus said he just smiled and increased the flames around his hands and the flame on his forhead. With the increase in flames Soma knew he had to make this quick or he would tire himself out to fast.
"Well then Dantalus lets see your resolve."
As Soma said that he was prepared for Dantalus next attack. When Dantalus swung his sledgehammer at Soma from the left side it caught onto Soma's shirt and sent him flying. Soma was fast but, he also had a plan for times like these. When Soma was sent flying away by the first sledgehammer attack. When Dantalus finished his last to sledgehammer attacks, Soma used his hands and dashed towards Dantalus. As Soma headed for Dantalus he started spinning making the flames from his gloves become a tornado like thrust.
When Soma got close enough to Dantalus he dropped low to the ground and started spinning around Dantalus cause the same tornado to now form around him. Yet even Soma knew his limits after taking the attack from Dantalus earlier he was in pain because of one of his left ribs where hit and could have been broken because of it.Word Count: 238 Total Word Count: 7030 (Total Words for Points: 1310= 8.7pts)

 Dantalus smirked because for all of Soma's speed, Dantalus managed to land a hit that actually hurt. As Soma dashed forward, Dantalus held his hammer out to guard, knowing that he had to block this attack. Soma's flames have gotten much stronger than he remembered, especially since after they first fought together against several of Dantalus' previous gang member who wanted to kill him. After all, they lived by Godfather like Mafia Rules: "There is no leaving the family" and stuff like that. Dantalus pretty much curbstomped their rules to the ground and developed a friendship with Soma afterwards. Now he wanted to protect his friend, no matter what the cost was. This translated to his flaming hammer, which was burning brightly.
"I plan to."
Dantalus was suprised by Soma spinning to turn his flames into a tornado like thrusting punch, and Dantalus began to swing at the right time, but completely misjudged his boss as Soma started spinning around and around him, causing the flames to form a tornado around him, seeking to burn him in it's power. Dantalus could not allow that, he just couldn't. So concentrating his might and Storm Flames to the head of his hammer, Dantalus slammed his hammer onto a wall of flames, seeking to utilize it's degenerating power to corrode and destroy the tornado of fire, which is highly unlikely. Even if it corroded enough of a space for him to get out would be enough for him. Which it did, though it was only enough to barely fit his body in. And it was closing fast.
Dantalus jumped through the space between the flames and skidded on the ground, dragging his hammer, which was now not glowing in fire with him. It took alot to get out, so it took a while for his hammer to glow again. A few seconds passed before it bursted into flames again. He then waited patiently for Soma to attack again. Which he knew was going to be soon. Very soon.

 By the time Dantalus got out of the wall of flames Soma was floating in the air. Soma was suprised as the training continued Dantalus was getting stronger. At the same time Soma could tell that Dantalus was getting tired from all of this. Soma decided to see if Dantalus could push himself farther and release his box weapon and maintain his box weapon for the rest of the training. Soma grabbed his box weapon on his belt with his left hand.
"Well my friend lets take this fight up to the next level shall we."
After Soma said that he ignited the sky flame on his ring. As Soma did that he placed the ring inside of his box weapon. As Soma did that out came a large Sky Flame that floated next to Soma. The flame turned out to be Soma's box animal Asom. As Asom stood next to Soma it seemed happy to see Dantalus again. Soma just smiled as he said to Dantalus.
"Well my friend from this moment forward everything will get harder for you. This training battle might end up ending before you think. So are you ready. If not I would advise you to add your box weapon or animal into this fight."
As Soma said that his right hand kept him floating while his left hand was sitting ontop of Asom's head petting him. Soma knew that Dantalus would call out his box weapon or animal for the rest of the battle. What Soma was trying to see was if Dantalus could maintain it for the rest of the training.Word Cound: 270 Total Word Count: 7300 (Total Words for Points: 1580= 10.5pts)

"Okay then, though I will admit I only had him for a few days."
Dantalus knew a two on one was no fair, and he won't survive if he tried to take them on without some help. He had only unlocked his animal a few days ago and hasn't really gotten a chance to let him out and fight alongside him. His ring was already on fire from his Storm Flames and he put his hammer on the ground and held it there by a foot, then took out his box weapon and jammed his ring into the slot and then pulled it out. As the box opened, a burst of flame jetted out and hit the ground in front of him, coalescing into a small minotaur sized beast, with great horns and powerful strength, scraping the dirt with it's cloven hoofs and a mean expression on it's face. It looked straight at Soma and Asom.
"Taurus, I introduce you to my boss and his Box Animal. Soma and Asom, meet my Box Animal Taurus, the Storm Flame Minotaur."
Dantalus proclaimed as he lifted his sledgehammer and held it in both hands to the side as Taurus lowered himself to the ground on his feet and one hand, the other curled into a fist. The fact that his box animal was not an actual animal, but a mythical creature could interest Soma because most Box Weapons are animals not mythical creatures.
"Now, shall we continue? Let's go Taurus."
Dantalus said as Taurus jumped onto Dantalus' shoulders and leaped off them, moving to attack the animal while Dantalus charged forward and leaped in the air, meaning to pummel his boss to the ground with his flaming hammer.

Soma smiled as he seen Taurus. It was interesting that he was actually able to finally see Dantalus box animal. Before they could do or say anything Taurus and Dantalus where coming towards him and Asom. When Soma thought of moving one way Asom knew about it and Soma had his thought of having Asom moving in another way. Soma dashed to the right side and moving out of the way of Dantalus attack.
Asom moved to the left out of the way of Taurus. When both Taurus and Dantalus missed there attacks they where both greeted with attacks from both Soma and Asom. When Asom attack he attacked from above Taurus coming down right on his head. When Soma attack he attacked coming from behind Dantalus. When Soma attacked Dantalus he sent both of his fist at Dantalus. One of Soma's fist was heading to Dantalus mid-back area. Soma's other fist was sent to Dantalus upper-back area. Both attacks would send a shockwave of pain inside of Dantalus body if they both connected.
WHen Asom attacked Taurus he used his claws and teeth to attack. Asom's attack would cause pain but, it wouldn't be something that Taurus couldn't handle. Soma knew that this kind of fight was the only way to get Dantalus and Taurus to work together in true harmony without fail.Word Count: 224 Total Word Count: 7524 (Total Words for Points: 1804=12.0pts)

As Dantalus wheeled around to face his boss, his boss hit him with a powerful two fist punch, causing extreme pain to rocket through his body. But Dantalus bit through the pain and actually swung his hammer to attempt to connect with Soma's side. He had to get a good hit in at least once while Soma was in the range of his hammer. Otherwise, he won't get another chance due to Soma's speed.
A good clean hit is what I need.
Dantalus thought. Meanwhile, his own Box animal got tackled by his animal and was getting clawed and bit at by the Sky Animal. Before the animal couldn't finish it off, Taurus smashed his fist at the dog's face hoping to get it off of him so he can attack back. If that happened, Taurus would get up, then rush at Asom, punching at the dog with all of it's might. It was made for melee combat, like Dantalus, and if they manage to work together, they would be an effective team in combat.
Meanwhile, over where Dantalus was fighting Soma, Dantalus leaped back after he made his attack and landed on the ground, calling his animal to him. As Taurus returned to him, his horns and brow was now ignited with the Storm Flames, ready for what Soma has for him to fight against.

As Soma's attacks connected with Dantalus, he wasn't able to get out of the way of Dantalus' attack. When Dantalus swung his hammer at Soma there was no way to dodge fast enough from this close attack. Soma couldn't do anything but, take the attack. As Soma did that he was sent flying into a tree. As Soma hit the tree it broke in half. Soma was now on the ground his flames where still raging and everything so Soma still had fight left in him.
Meanwhile as Asom attacked Taurus it to was in the same position as Soma and couldn't get away from Taurus attack just like Soma couldn't get away from Dantalus' attack. When Taurus finally stopped Asom was still on all four standing strong even after taking the beating it received. This let anyone know that Asom was a true king of the jungle. Asom the Sky lion was nothing short of the best when it came to fighting to help Soma.
As soma stood up he had a grin on his face. Soma whipped the dirt off his cheek and walked over to Asom. Soma knew that he would have to put both his speed and Asom speed together and take out both Dantalus and Taurus. Yet there time was also coming to a close soon. Since right now this training battle had already lasted over 30 mins. Both Soma and Dantalus would feel the strain to keep fighting in this training match. they where so close to there limits that even they knew this.
"So Dantalus how much power do you think you have left to fight me and Asom off this time."
As Soma said that he waited for Dantalus to speak and even think everything over before Dantalus even decided to make his next attack against Soma. Really Soma wanted Dantalus to think outside of the box in this training.Word Count: 319 Total Word Count: 7843 (Total Words for Points: 2123= 14.2pts)

Dantalus was breathing heavily, having been training hard for as long as he had, it was taking a toll on even his considerable endurance. His hammer was beginning to feel as heavy as it was suppose to be, becoming near impossible to lift and heft it above his waist. The flames on the head was beginning to fade due to the fact he hasn't been trained to maintain it for long periods of time unlike Soma or any of the other people he has to fight. But he had to keep it up against his Boss. Taurus was feeling the same strain, having never really been out of his box for long periods of time. Not to mention they haven't really worked on teamwork yet. As Soma talked to him about his waning power, Dantalus frowned a bit at his boss, it seems he was attempting to tick him off. It made him clench his hammer's haft hard enough that his hand almost bled.
"I have more than enough boss. You know people like me and my Spartan ancestors don't go down easily. Cowardice is not part of our DNA, nor part of our training. You read about the Battle of Thermopalye right? Well just like Leonidas and the three hundred Spartans, I will not give up, nor surrender. I will stand here and fight till I am on my knees. And even then, I still will defy those who oppose me."
Dantalus proclaimed, his resolve powering his flames so that they burned as bright as they've always had, as proof that Dantalus was a man of his word. He would not back down, never surrender, never let an enemy go after Soma unless they defeated him first. That was his dream, to always be Soma's right hand man when he needed him. Even when his body was beginning to feel the strain of long periods of time training. The same thing with his animal, who's horns burned bright as he snorted in defiance of his body's strain. It seems Taurus and Dantalus share a common feature: pure stubborness. Dantalus hefted his hammer on his shoulder and crouched, holding the large construction tool in both hands and saying to his boss and best friend.
"So get ready Nazayuka Primo, Soma Nazayuka, my best friend. For I'm giving this training everything I have. And then some. So I can stand by your side and help you defeat the enemies to our family!"
Dantalus exclaimed with pride for the Mafia Family he now dedicated his life to. As if in response, Taurus snorted again and roared, ready to go and continue this match.

Soma just smiled Soma was getting tired but, he also still had maybe another 25-30minutes left in him to fight or train. It was alot to say that they had already been doing this for a while already. Soma was able to see Dantalus and Taurus' resolve now he knew that he could defeat Dantalus and Taurus without having say they held back. Soma grinned as he stood there cracking his fingers. As Soma placed his hands at his side the flamings on his gloves started spinning and Sky Flames where seen coming from them.
Soma didnt' say a word, his Sky Flames just continued to emit from his gloves and his forehead. The same thing was happening to Asom. Yet with Asom his paws and neck where were also emiting with sky flames also. As Soma and Asom both stood there Asom did a roar that would cause the flames on Taurus and Dantalus' hammer to purify and become low once again.
"Don't worry Dantalus this training much will end and you will get your rest so you can then we can train against the mosca."
After Soma said that he moved forward towards Dantalus and Taurus. Asom also dashed forward towards Dantalus and Taurus. Yet as they moved forward towards the two they didn't make there move to attack it was as if they had another thing planned. Soma was thinking about something and he wasn't gonna let Dantalus figure it out before he could do it. At the same time whatever Soma had planned it involved Asom.Word Count: 262 Total Word Count: 8105 (Total Words for Points: 2385= 15.9pts)

Dantalus watched as not only did Asom and his boss shoot towards them, but he realized the harmonizing power of Asom's roar dimmed his flames down a bit. It did the same to Taurus as well. That can't be any good. Readying himself to attack, he realized that they were not looking like they were actually meaning to attack. This could be his chance.
"Taurus, I got an idea, and you probably will not like it."
His Box animal merely grunted in response before he was suddenly picked up by his legs and held on the palm of Dantalus' hand before he actually threw the Animal straight at Asom. Taurus, now airborned, added in his bit by spinning around and around, turning into a great drill of Storm Flames, which were still on his brow and horns, meaning to skewer the Lion. But that wasn't all. As Taurus went to skewer, Dantalus came from above and smashed his hammer onto the lion, hoping that if he connected, the lion would be slammed into the ground, where the degenerative properties of his flames would do their work, and caused a medium sized crater from where he hit.

Mariko
XXXXXXXX Souma  The short Rain Guardian yawned as she slowly woke up. Sitting up slowly, Mariko stretched her arms above her head, lowering one to cover her mouth as she yawned once again. Still sleepy, she turned her head to look at the clock, opening her eyes widely as she noticed the digits that were glowing on the small screen. Mariko jumped off her bed and ran to her closet, pulling out her clothes and got dressed quickly.
She was never late! Well, not unless… oh. Mariko sighed and smiled. Of course. The meeting they had last night dragged on for too late. This wasn’t new, but every time she woke up late, Mariko went through the same thing. Waking up, looking at the clock, jumping off the bed in panic, getting dressed and finally, remembering what happened the earlier night. And of course, the first few times, The black haired girl did go to school, but at some point she just stopped bothering, finding it easier to tell the teachers why she wasn’t at school rather then why she was so late.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Mariko smiled her usual smile before she walked out the door.
The teen kept on smiling as she passed some family members on her way to the kitchen, once there, Mariko grabbed something to eat and left the room, silently wondering where the others were. After asking a few subordinates and a quick look out of a window, Mariko spotted Dantalus and Soma outside. Still eating her late-breakfast, the Nazayuka Rain Guardian walked towards the closest door that lead to the yard, sitting herself on the porch as she watched the two older men training.‘The Requiem Rain;

Soma smiled and as Dantalus made his move so did Soma. At the speed Soma and Asom where moving this move only made it even better for them to weaken Dantalus and Taurus when this was over with. Well this worked because Soma had Asom weaken there flames in the beginning. As both Dantalus and Taurus came towards Asom, Soma said out loud where Asom could here.
"Asom Cielo Shield."
As Soma said that Asom turned into a shield. When Asom turned into a shield he was able to block the attack from Taurus taking some of the damage but, was still able to keep up the shield form. As Dantalus came down towards Asom Soma stood ontop of the Asom shield and blocked Dantalus' sledgehammer with his hands crossed in an X form. As the sledgehammer was stopped Soma was able to feel the Storm Flames flowing towards him. Yet at the same time just like Asom wasn't able to take all of the damage neither was Soma. Soma wasn't able to take all of the damage since he blocked the attack and his Sky Flames where able to purify the Storm Flames before they could do alot of damage.
As Soma stood there with Dantalus sledgehammer stopped he said to Dantalus. Yet he seemed to already know what Dantalus was thinking before he even asked.

Dantalus sighed. Even now, he could not beat his boss, and Soma barely even tried. And dantalus was giving it his all. Is their levels really that different? Dantalus bowed his head and called Taurus back to his box, which sealed quickly as Dantalus took a step back and sat down. Man was he tired.
"Dang it, I didn't even hurt you that badly. I probably make for a lousy Guardian huh?"

Soma took his box weapon into his left hand and the box opened causing Asom to be sent back into his box. As the box closed Soma started laughing to himself as he sat down on the ground. Soma was beat himself and even he knew this was something he couldn't control after such a long training match. As Soma laughed he turned his head back towards the base and seen that Mariko had finally woke up. She was still in high school but, she was a strong guardian who had a very good heart. Before Soma said anything to Mariko he answered Dantalus.
"No, Dantalus you and all of the other guardians are the best. I couldn't ask for anyone better than you guys. Hey Mariko come and join us over here."
Soma said that knowing she was sitting down watching the training. Soon after they got enough rest they would all fight the strongest Mosca that Nazayuka Family tech department ever created. This battle would be like fighting a Dying Will Flame absorbing machine. They would all have to give it there all.Word Count: 184 Total Word Count: 8537 (Total Words for Points: 2817= 18.7pts)

Mariko
XXXXXXXX Souma Mariko smiled and waved, getting up from her spot, a half eaten piece of toast in her mouth. Holding her breakfast in her hand, the short teen walked towards Soma and Dantalus “Good morning Nazayuka–Sempai, DiMaggio-Sempai” she said, bowing to the two “How are you two doing today?” she asked, taking another bite out of her toast, eating it silently.
The half Japanese teen didn’t like fighting, but she knew that she had to get stronger, not only for herself, but for the family, and her friends too. As much as she wanted to believe in it, she knew the world wasn’t a fairytale and the people got hurt. She also knew that the stronger she gets, the more she can protect those who were close to her.
With that in mind, Mariko looked up again, finishing the last of her small breakfast before looking at the two again “Are you two going to train more later?” she asked “If so… can I join?” she laughed softly “I still have a long way to go” she added, still smiling.
She guessed she didn't have to explain why she wasn't at school... it wasn't new that Mariko had trouble waking up early for school if she went to sleep late. She didn't enjoy it much, yet another factor that made her feel too young or too weak for the family. But of course she didn't want the others to worry about it, it was stupid and childish and making them worry about her for pointless reasons wasn't something she wanted to do.
