Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hmm.... I suppose it's possible I over looked one.... but I can't be sure. I'm glad to see nothing has bothered you however. *He thinks quietly to himself a moment* very well. What exactly are the specifics of what you're testing... I want to choose which cards I want to train

Shadow considered for a moment before replying. Hand to hand combat is prefered at the moment. I wish to see how this body handles. I should probably warn you however that hand to hand for me currently includes electricity and acid. It's always good to have a few diverse abilities after all. As he spoke Shadow shifted slightly and allowed his tail to unfurl from his waist and his ears to twitch.

*nods to her* They are coming along faster than I had hoped in their development. They've improved quickly in a relatively short time. As a matter of fact another test is about to commence elsewhere. Very well Shadow, ten Model 1B drones will be your first wave *He narrows his eyes a bit as he feels 9 nearby*.... stare

*from the citadel, ten regular, multipurpose drones line up in front of Shadow. Some draw their swords while others used spiked knuckles. The first two go for a consecutive frontal assault. The sword comes down toward Shadow's face followed by a stab toward his gut*

As the mecha approached Shadow allowed four bone blades in each of his arms to emmerge. As the blades locked into place, the ones on the sides pointing forward, and the ones on the top and bottom pointing backwards, he narrowed his eyes observing the movements of his opponents. Shadow had started moving his right arm towards his front planning to raise it to block the first attack when he saw the gut stab coming in his peripheral vision. He decided to instead duck bringing his right arm up and around to push the blade aimed at his gut upward to block the one descending towards his head.

*nods* hmm.... by the way, what book was it you found?

*The first bot, instead of stumbling as it would have before at the well placed guard, now launches into the air, pushing off the other bot's sword. The second bot switches the blade and makes a horizontal swipe for Shadow's neck. As this happened, the first came downward with a slash in such a fashion that if Shadow jumped or backed up he'd run right into the sword*

Shadow rolled under the slash at his neck yet towards the bot that had made it. He punched at the bot's right wrist joint with the blades of his right hand while aiming a similar strike at the left thigh joint with his left hand. At the moment he was gradually increasing the speed and strength of his body to work up to it's potential.

Shadow's eyes narrowed as the bot wrapped itself around him but he decided to see how these bots responded to electricity. He channeled through both his tail and arms into the bot restraining him. Thousands of volts would be sent into the bot even as several of his ribs melded and warped before forming an incredible dense bar on his side to prevent the blade of the other bot from ripping through his body. He cut off the pain receptors as it cut into him.

*He chuckles lightly and pats her on the head gently* Do not worry over it. I'm sure it's just something that was over looked when rebuilding the tower. There is a lot of ground to be restored, it would be easy to overlook it.

BZZZT!! *Neither bot responds exceedingly well to the treatment. Both start to freeze up and twitch. Though their electrical protection was far from perfect, they had been programmed with some fail safes. As they continue to fry, both bots activate their self destruct protocols, Shadow sandwiched tightly between the two explosives each equal to 50 sticks of dynamite*
