Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Your friend here thinks im trouble....never did like Mediums, and they never like me." He said slowly and calmly, no longer bothered to hide behind the 'happy voice'

"until the beads are down there's no way im dropping my guard....and how would you know of my family?" he asked Neko, his hand slowly reaching towards his Enja, "i have no such 'nice' side...it died years ago, when i was employed by my father.....such a side is a weakness."

"If you think that so then prove it...do battle, if it is truely a weakness then i will lose...if it is a strength then i would be victorious." Andrew said, drawing his Enja silently, the blade shining in the light, "Azuris, get ready" he calmly ordered Azuris, who just stood there, his face no longer the child-like picture of happiness and innocence, now it was like the calm before a storm. Andrew reached for the collar of his coat, and threw the entire coat to the floor, revealing that his suit had been custom-made to allow for great manuveurability, and that the back of the top had a symbol of a black skull, symbolising his dark heart and ruthless profession, "Not an official match...just a quick sparring session to prove who is right...if i lose i will change my ways...but should i win, then i get to stay here until my next match" he said with a smirk, it had been some time since he left home, and had not had a decent place to stay for a while....but all that time he had trained hard, almost killing himself through exaustion several times.

"Very well...i shall wait outside, don't worry about the rain" he said, then walked out, heavy rain beginning outside the very instant he walked out the door, though on closer inspection it could be seen that the raindrops dodged him, so he stayed dry and ready to battle.

"Azuris, Spirit form!" Andrew called out, and Azuris turned into a small shard of ice, floating with electrical energy surrounding it, floated there before being ordered into the Enja. When he merged with it the blade seemed to go cold, the air around it misting up due to the extreme difference in temperature. "When our opponent exits the builiding i want them cold and soaked...let them see what true power over nature is." Andrew said, smiling.

((The heavy rain, which was dodging Andrew, did not do the same for thoe around him ya know))

"Then lets go for it." Andrew said calmly, then charged towards Neko, the enja held ready for a horizontal slash. "Azuris, TEMPEST STRIKE!" he shouted as the blade glowed, now it was not only freezing cold, but also sheathed in electricity....a dangerous combination for anyone to encounter.

Andrew stopped, standing still, his eyes closed as he listened, even an invisible foe makes a sound, "Azuris, i want this area colder...MUCH colder" he whispered, and the area got colder, the rain turning to snow, breath turning to mist, Wherever my opponent is they can't be untouchable, next time i see them they're going to feel my full force, no-one has stood up to the Storm of Anilation and stayed concious he though to himself, then shouted out his challenge, "Come out and fight coward! Even a fool like you knows that this cold will kill us both eventually, since it will continue to get colder until i give the word to stop!" This was a half truth, it would indeed get colder, but Azuris would not let it get too cold, he would not kill his friend, but this would not be known to his opponent, and they would have to make their move eventually....which is exactly what andrew was waiting for.

The moment Neko appeared it was as if Andrew sensed the approach, but he was still surprised that his opponent could get so close, "AZURIS, GLACIAL SHIELD!!" he shouted, his tone showing his main concern...such an attack would be too much for his current defenses. While he shouted this he began swinging his enja, his grip slightly softer, so that the segments would not be held together in sword form, rather the enja would be in whip form. When the whip struck the blast both were stopped, his enja's blade freezing and snapping in half, Azuris still in the hilt, which Andrew held onto, as long as he held part of the weapon and his guardian was in THAT part technically he hadn't lost. Andrew jumped away from Neko, landing far enough away that he would have time to think should another blast be fired, "That was almost the end of it...Azuris, are you hurt?" he asked, a tone of caring for his old friend.
"i'm fine...just my pride. But why aren't we fighting at our best?...we are bearly fighting at 10% furioku" Azuris said, his tone showing that he was surprised...it was rare that Andrew fought at any level beside 100%...it was as if he was going easy on Neko...either that or holding back his strength from an observer.


As this battle was going on a young boy no older than 7 appeared on the roof of the house, watching the fight. The boy was dressed in a pure black, hooded robe which completely concealed his features, "Looks like my toy has his mind on other matters...perfect, wouldn't you say?" the boy said with a slight laugh, beside him a huge jet black snake appeared, its eyes blood red and its head surrounded by numerous floating skulls, "Perfect milord....perhapss we sshould attack now...wipe out the last of the Pariuss family?"
"Not yet my impatient friend, he still has potential, he would be a powerful ally if we could change his mind...unlike those weaklings 2000 years ago" the child said calmly, his left arm being revealed from under the robe, the razor-sharp throwing knife with silver blade shining in the light, the engraved image of the serpent beside him glowing with some dark power.

"Why should i? this match is over, you can't continue, and i have no weapon to continue either" Andrew responds, lowering his damaged sword, the segments of the blade falling from the wire.
"Weakling!" the child on the roof shouted to Andrew when the deathblow was not struck. "Spirit form" the child said calmly, and the large snake turned into a black flame, before entering the throwing knife, "Plague rain!" he shouted, throwing the knife, which multiplied while on route to both Andrew and Neko.

"Out the way!" Andrew said quickly, and threw Neko away from the knives, blocking several with metal armlets hidden under his sleeves, though a couple got past his defenses, cutting deep. The boy jumped down, and slowly walked towards Andrew, "You could have been a great ally Parius....but you dissapoint me, first you spare a fallen foe....then you throw them out the way of my attack.....you do not deserve to exist in my world"
