Like usual the Orion lay stagnantly quiet in most areas. Whether the residents were resting in their rooms or out and about in the outside world was of little concern.
The Kitsune sat in silence atop the Orion's grand stadium floor. All was quiet except for shallow breathing that escaped his nostrils as he meditated. Had this been the windy plains of the arctic tundra he frequented, such circumstances would be ideal, but as it was not, the stark silence was as nerve racking as some dragging their nails on a chalkboard.
Opening his hue-less eyes to the area he frowned. Gritting his teeth he began to almost cough out a guttural incantation. Before long the shadows that existed throughout the room began to gyrate as if alive. Rising from a deathly slumber, several dark cloaked figures rose from the darkness touting different instruments. Lining up about their summoner, the fox sage rose to his feet as if possessed
"Begin it must."
Raising his hand finger like a conductors wand the unearthly orchestra began to play. To anyone within earshot the piece was strong in string instruments especially the violin and cello. Bordering on melancholy, high pitched cry of the Violin crescendo high above the other as if to donate a sensation of urgency.
Raising his hand to the left a fanfare of horns sounded at once creating a turning point in the mood. Perhaps depicting an redemption of sorts. Clearly this unnamed piece was attempting to paint a story all of its own. The normally battle plagued room had surprisingly been transformed into concert hall of sorts.

::Unks was sitting in the bar drinking a bottle of water. He felt the energy level of Kendo in the arena, but stayed where he was. The mage was usually one to keep to himself anyways. Unks finished his bottle of water and disposed of it where it belonged. He stood up off his stool to go out to train, but then heard music coming from the arena?
The saiya-jin boy turned around and began walking down the hallway that lead to the arena and hot springs. He kept moving torwards the arena the music getting louder but sounding better and better as he got closer. As he reached the door way he saw all the people in black playing their instruments and then to Kendo being the conductor::

Pointing to a number of the shadowy figures who seemed to be out place, having not carried in an instruments they at once entered the piece in chorus.
A Gregorian chant accompanied the playing orchestra, making the already astounding piece increasingly epic. By now the Kistune had shifted into flurry of movement conducting each individual musical section.
In most cases the whenever the fox sage summoned forth his shadow minions it was to aid him in battle on a grand scale. During the times of calm (As well as bordem), he many times found himself breaking the monotony by commanding his legion in less hostile ways.
This practice served a two fold purpose. The first and perhaps most obvious was for entertainment purposes. The other was none other to his mind lucid and capable of easily multitasking. In other words a form of training.
Still conducting the orchestra the sage looked toward the entrance spying none other than the beau of his oldest student. Speaking directly into the young man's mind, the Kistune greeted him.
"Perhaps you too are fan of orchestral pieces? I find them invigorating and perhaps better at depicting imagery than mere words alone."

::Unks looked over at the sage as he spoke to him within his mind and smiled. Wanting to get closer to Kendo to really see everything as it was happening. Unks lifted himself into the air and flew over to when it was clear to land next to Kendo. He looked at everyone before looking at Kendo with his ice blue eyes::
"Well I am more of a rock fan, but this sounds pretty damn good to me Kendo. Nicely done."

Being born of the shadow each figured seemingly lacked the features of what would make up a normal individual. Gaze less and unfeeling each figure continued preforming despite their conductor relieving himself of the his duty.
"Ah...a rock fan. It has its moments."
With a simple gesture the Sage caused his orchestra to spread out to the outskirts of the arena ring. Returning his attention to the Saiya-jin he studied the mans face for a moment.
"So how have you been? You and I have not spoken for sometime. But I suppose that is understandable. I've done little in the way to garner any form of recognition or acquaintanceship."
preforming another gesture the orchestra began to play at a softer tone.

"Well Pith and I are still happy and going strong which is a very good thing. And I can understand you having your own things to do so you can't constantly be around."
::The boy gave out a soft laugh as his eyes watched the band move to different directions of the ring but still played even though the fox sage stopped conducting them. Unks' ears listened to their music as he moved his ice blue eyes back to Kendo's::
"Other then that I am sure you've heard about Keno being in trouble with 7 random super powered monsters. Which isn't good for him, but he has all of us watching his back."

"Ah I see..."
Thinking back on the time he had met Keno, the man had been possessed of some sort of malevolent spirit and was at once attacking everything and everyone. After brief battle both of them had separated unscathed. At this point he was still leery of the man, but supposed in normal circumstances he was a nice enough individual in order for people to want to watch his back.
"I suppose since you are not speaking in the past tense, nothing has gone awry.
Already knowing what the answer was he smiled.
"I suppose if they are strong enough to get the entire club worry, then they are quite interesting. If I am about, I may possibly look into things."

"Well there was already one mini battle and lets just say no one left unscratched except for Pith who came in at the end. I think Jade got hurt the worst though."
::Unks never took his eyes off the fox and looked deeper into his eyes. He blinked then looked away so not to be rude. He then cleared his throat and looked at the band once more still listening to their music not sure of what to say next::
"But all I know is the next time they come we will all be ready for it, but then again they will be ready for us as well."

Nodding he took this information down mentally as if already trying to formulate a strategy. Crossing his arms over his chest he smiled.
"I take it you have been training? Perhaps I could be of help in that area. I am always looking for more partners as well. The more honed ones skill, the better off they will be."
Yawning a bit he proceeded to silence his orchestra with another gesture of his hand.

::unks looked at him, was Kendo asking him to spar or be his student? He wasn't sure which. He couldn't be his student he didn't know magic so it must of ment a spar. Unks looked down and then back up and smiled::
"Yeah I am keeping up with my training. I am planning something big to help my training, but I am more than honored to accept your offer."

Pleased with the purple haired man's reaction he patted him on the shoulder.
"Whenever your willing to start I would be pleased to execute the opening blows"
Adjusting his gauntlets the Sage seemed ready to start whenever.
"It has regrettably been a great deal of time since I had my last bout. So I am probably a bit rusty."

"Well a seasoned fighter and mage like yourself you'll shake the rust."
::Unks smiled at the shoulder pat and then did the same to Kendo to the opposit shoulder. He gave it a soft squeeze and then he removed his hand and turned to walk across the arena.
He stopped when he got a good distace away from Kendo and smiled bowing to him before getting into his own stance::
"I am ready to start now if you are?"

Nodding he smiled broadly beneath the many scarves that adorned his face.
"Of course..."
Rocking his neck from side to side he proceed to take a deep breath. In the next moment Unks would send momentary burst of rise in energy level exhibited by the Kitsune.
It what appeared to almost be the blink of an eye the sage had already cleared the distance between the two of them.
With incredible speed the Sage had kicked the ball of his opponent of his opponents feet to spread his stance further and break his center. This thus disallowed much movement in any direction. At the same time the Kitsune had attacked with double palmed blow to the man's gut at almost point blank range.
