➟Takeshi grinned. Once she was on his right he would quickly fling the chain downwards at her leg, he was expecting a wrap around, just like before. Only this time he'd need to be successful. She'd probably spot an opening while the chain was far away from his body.

"Ha!" Xuza cried as Takeshi swung his chain. The purpose of moving to the right when Takeshi held the chain in his left hand was to make the trip for the chain to reach Xuza longer. She had plenty of time to hop over the chain, and was on her way in with a horizontal swipe.
➟Takeshi wanted to dodge but he couldn't, he pulled back the chain as fast as he could but Xuza got a hit on him before it returned. Falling back, he cover his minor would which had caused some tearing in his clothes. "Nice one. I should have predicted your movements better, or better yet, predict them period." Takeshi was fighting hard but so far it had been for naught, he wasn't as focused on Xuza's movements but getting a hit in. Hopefully he'd learn from his mistake this time and get better. Once again Takeshi set out, determined more than ever to take Xuza down a peg. Rather then take it easy and with time, he'd rush. First he swung downwards, a strong vertical slash that would require some sidestepping. If that didn't work then he'd send his own horizontal slash at her.

Xuza Uriel: Angel of Death ░═══════════════════════════░══════════════════════════░

"Whoa-jeeze sorry! ... Hey, you've really gotta cover up. I don't wanna hurt you..." A nice sentiment, or snobbery as you like it, but beside it was a fact: Takeshi was charging with much more determination than before. Somethin' somethin', wounded animal, somethin' somethin' dangerous.
Xuza her weight on her back foot and spun ninety degrees to dodge Takeshi's charge. It left him open, but before Xuza could do anything, if she wanted to end the fight, Takeshi recovered with a powerful swing. Luckily, Xuza had her guard up already. There was a resounding clang, and Xuza shuffled her foot back foot away from her to maximize her ground so to take the blow.
"You're gettin' there!" Xuza widened her stance further by shifting her front foot out quickly, this would bring her a quick lowering of her center of gravity with forward motion. She softened her elbow and used her shoulder in tandem with this forward motion to push Takeshi's blade up over her head and slide right right by his right guard. His left was more than likely still holding a chain, a long range weapon, and so once there Xuza would aim to make a point of the match by stopping her blade short at Takeshi's throat/trapezius area. If it worked, the conversation would look like,
"My family has spent generations making sword fighting into an artform... I hope you understand... I kind of know what I'm doing."
➟Takeshi didn't want to admit that he was having difficulty, but he was. It didn't seem like he could keep up with Xuza, there was still more work to be done. With Xuza's sword at his neck he sighed. "I admit defeat." he mumbled. "Way to make me look bad in front of my new friend Xuza!" He stuck out his tongue to show his dissatisfaction with the outcome. "Whatever, I'll get better!" He laughed and scratched his back, he was a little embarrassed. Still, he was taking his defeat pretty well. "Nice job." he said it quietly with a grin.

"Vufufuf, oh~ Takeshi! You gave up too easy." She rolled her eyes and sighed a little, stepping back to regular talking distance.
"Look, I don't know what that dude taught you, but I'll tell you everything you need to know about fighting."
"You ready? Here it is, the big sec--you don't look ready--Takeshi, come on!" She was having fun now, tapping her sword against Takeshi's sickle just to be obnoxious.
"It's all in the feet! Look." She used her turning maneuver to get around Takeshi's back in no time flat it seemed like.
"We have our own style, but it's basically fencing... I could help you out a little, if you want." She sighed a more real sigh this time.
"But I can't teach you the fancy stuff--the 'family' moves-- only the basic fencing part, but hey, that's better than trying to use a sickle like a whip, right?" There wasn't braggadociousness in her voice, just fun.
➟"There goes that laugh again." On his face showed the biggest grin he's had by far. But it was only for a short time before he replied to what Xuza said directly afterward. "Excuse me!? G-Gave in!? Actually, your right. I let you win." Takeshi winked for some extra obnoxious flare. "You'll teach me?" He thought about it for a little while before he nodded in agreement. "You pay attention too Mina, just in case! He called out to her and waved, just to show that he didn't forget about her. "All that fancy footwork is nice, but won't my weapon drag me down? I mean, isn't this weapon not suited to be used in that way?"

"If by 'let' you mean 'had no choice,' then yeah, totally let." She looked back at Mina at that point.
"You're welcome to join us! I'm done being scary~!" Xuza waved Mina over, and if she joined then she would be talking to the both of them. If not, then it was only Takeshi.
"See, that's where you're wrong. You have to use your feet always. Here." She reached for Takeshi's sickle to demonstrate. If he handed it over she could begin.
Mina was quite awestruck. The two meisters fought like they had carefully choreographed each move. She snapped out of it when Xuza addressed her. "Wha..? Oh sorry. Sure, I'll try." She still felt a bit nervous about how her wavelength would effect the two even in a spar. She also disliked fighting if people got hurt but since this was only practice that wouldn't happen right. "So um... How should we start?"
➟"Scary? Not if that adorable laugh as anything to say about it." he mumbled. Takeshi handed her his weapon without objection, he didn't mind some advice. "Teach me well coach." He watched her closely, awaiting her instruction.

And teach she did, but first the winged meister quickly studied the sickle; flipping it over a few times, adjusting and figuring her grip, and finally swinging the ball and chain to and fro a couple times and taking out a good amount of slack in her left hand.
"Ok, I think I've got the hang of it..." She said to herself still studying the weapon.
"If you hold the chain tight, like this, then you should be able to block with both the sickle and chain part. It's a big weapon, so use that to your advantage." Just then a thought occurred to Xuza.
"It's hooked, so that means it was made to trap swords like mine. If you use slashes like this:" Xuza cut a couple of times at sharp angles across her center line, with plenty of bend in her elbow to demonstrate. "You should be able to disable most lunge attacks pretty easily." She looked at her feet quickly.
"Stand wide and flat, like this, that way you can turn easily. Since you have a big guard, you can afford to stand squared off like this, and--well, that's pretty much it." Xuza handed back the weapon to Takeshi and looked toward Mina.
"So, you want to start? You can take on either of us... Or I guess we can go in a free-for-all. Fufuf." Then a thought occurred to her.
"Oh! You said you were a weapon, right? What if one of us wielded you?"
Mina blushed and averted her gaze. "I...I never said I was a weapon. I just asked if you were meisters. But yes, I am a weapon." Mina still wasn't comfortable being a weapon. She had only found out recently and it had had major effects on her career. "You can try using me if you like... As a weapon that is. But be careful. I don't know how badly my wavelength will effect you." Mina took in a deep breath and began glowing pink. Within a few second her body had turned into a spiral of light and then reformed into her weapon form.
She had become a rather girly chainsaw and lay on the ground. Her reflection appeared on the metal of the blade. "I hope this is alright?" Should one of them try to pick her up however it would be like handling a live power line since she had no control over her Scramble Wavelength. __________________________________________________________

"Well, no worries. I have a feeling you're exaggerating." Xuza laugh, and then watched the girl transform into a chainsaw. She walked over to where she laid.
"A chainsaw? That's interesting. I wonder how well I can handle it.'
'Hey, Takeshi, what about this: I'll wield her and since we both have weapons we aren't used to it should be a lot better training for both of us." She proceeded to pick up the weapon and immediately felt a spike of intense pain, and it rippled through her in a truly chaotic way, as if her blood was electric.
"Hrk!" She winced and toughened up quickly. "That's a rush! Let's go."
➟"Thanks for the step lessons." He practiced his stance while Xuza talked to Mina. It wasn't until the weapon transformed that he paid any real attention to the two. "Wow! A chainsaw, sweet. Never thought I'd see a weapon like that before!" Once again he was impressed, but that all changed with Xuza suggested she use Mina against him. "W-Wait! Your insane! You can't be serious! She's a chainsaw, do you know how dangerous those things are?" Personally, Takeshi was very confident in Xuza. It was a weapon she had never used before, and a powerful one at that. If she just swung that around all willy nilly then he could have lost an arm or a leg. He paused and thought about it a bit more. With a sigh he glared at Xuza. "Fine. Just not the face, I'm going to be the charming type of hero when I get older." Takeshi kept his legs spread as Xuza advised, he was waiting for her to be the first to strike. If things get bad then I'll just heal myself, relax. Just because it's a chainsaw doesn't mean it'll kill you with one hit... right?"

As soon as Xuza picked up Mina her chainsaw form's engine revved up. Mina wasn't aware how much her wavelength was harming Xuza or what would happen if she held on to her for too long. Mina had transformed into a chainsaw a couple of times before so she could get used to the change and it wasn't all that nice. The constant shaking of the motor always set her teeth on edge.
