After finally catching up the the student he sat down to catch his breath. A few minutes later he stood up and knocked on the door, still breathing a bit heavily he awaited an answer.

HE looked at the young man who caught up to him. He began to wonder what took him so long but he didn't bother to ask. Instead, he casually walked by, moving into the main area of the Training Hall. He stretched himself out again as soon as he cooled down and then stood in front of one of the punching bags.
He started by limiting his unnatural strength, and then went at it with various kicks and punches. He was a bit more methodical about it this time around, trying to place and plan his moves according to the movement of the bag. He wasn't going for power, he was trying to gain control.

Dahv walked through the hall and stared in awe. His dojang at home was nothing in comparison to the immaculent art, and the dustless floor. He continued down when he saw the training rooms. He searched through them all until he found a room just for him. "Perfect!"
He ran into the center of the room and just stood there. He stared at all the targets and smiled. "Let's get it on!" Lightning bolts started coming from nowhere and jumped around his body. He raised his hand and focused hard. 'Focus, Charge, Shoot. Focus, Charge, Shoot. Focus, Charge, Shoot!' He thought. As he chanted this in his mind, a few lightning bolts jumped into his hand. He took this chance and began to charge them up.
Suddenly tons of bolts were jumping into his hand, so many he couldn't control it. "SHOOT!" He fired the lightning bolt with incredible power, and it blasted through the target and the wall behind it with ease. Luckily it vanished quickly after.
He stood there panting, angry that he couldn't control his powers. He was supposed to be a legend, and everyone died because of him. "I will gain control and i Will Become the best!"

Dahv shook his head and took in a deep breath. As he let it go he formed a stance. "Relaxsation, Concentration and Confidence make power." He murmured. He slowly began to do a form making various stances as he moved. Sometimes he would kick, punch, or even use his katana. He finished by yelling a kiyah, then returned to his original stance.
"Relaxsation, Concentration and Confidence... I can do this." He raised his hand again and focused on the lightning bolts jumping into his hand. Again the lightning began jumping along his body. He focused more on his hand envisioning the lightning already there. He let out a deep breath and took one in as he formed another stance ready to fire the lightning.
Suddenly a ton of lightning bolts jumped into his hand, but they stopped once at a powerful energy level. "Catalyst!" He thrusted his hand forward and the lightning bolt exploded. The bolts went in all directions with incredible power and speed and hit all the targets causing them to explode.
Through all the chaos Dahv felt peace. He finally accomplished something. He smiled as the bits and pieces of the targets fluttered through the air down to the ground. "I think that's enough for today." He turned around and walked out the door. He laughed as he walked towards the lobby, and kept his smile bright.

For a second or two, his artificial eye reacted to some kind of static. It hurt his head a bit. He shook it off and continued his training.
Taern used no particular set of moves. Some looked like martial arts techniques and others were straight up brawling. A punching bag was nothing to practice grappling on so he just stuck with what he was doing.
He noticed he was now gaining more and more control. He was able to use an increasing amount of strength and still make the bag go exactly where he wanted, and then stop it.
He figured a few more hours of training would be enough. he would rest in his dorm later on, and then start over again the next day.

He stopped the bag with his hand, and decided that that was enough for now. He grabbed a towel and dried off a bit, then grabbed his gear and left the Training Hall.
He wondered exactly where Lena could be. He hadn't seen her in a couple of days but, she did seem like she was having some trouble. Taern knew that when he was having trouble, he liked to be alone rather than having people around to bother him about it.
He shook the thought from his head, focusing more on himself. He started off from the Training Hall to the boy's dorm.

Dahv walked through the doors laughing uncontrollably. He was getting dizzy so he decided to stop. When he reached room 29 (His personalized training room) he walked in and began setting up the targets. He left quite a mess from his last practice session so he left to the custodial closet. He pulled out a mop and broom then walked back to the room.
Dahv began sweeping the clutter into the center from all over the room and he felt the urge to sing. "You're giving me... To many things, lately. You're all i need, hold on. You smiled at me and said..." He sang the song and danced to it smiling while cleaning. He enjoyed cleaning things since he could do it however he wanted as long as it was done. "Hold me, what ever lies beyond this morning, is a little later on. Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all... Nothing's like before!"

Dahv set up the targets to the perfect spots so he could practice chain lightning. He took off the Juzakukana so he couldn't get an extra boost in his powers from it. He moved to the center of the room and formed a stance. "Breathe in... and focus..." He stared at the many targets then focused between the first and last target.
"Okay, envision the lightning hiting the first target then passing through the other to destroy the last one only..." He let out a deep breath and instantly an orb of lightining formed in his hand. He aimed at the first target and stared. "Relaxsation, Concentration and Confidence... I can do this!" He fired the lightning bolt and it created chain lightning... but it destroyed every target except the last one which it passed through without affecting it.

Lost once again, and rather exasperated, Angellea entered a room and flopped into a seated position on the floor. She pulled her knees up and wrapped her arms around her legs. Pitiful she thought, and if she had accidentally said it out loud, she no longer cared who heard. She buried her face in her knees and began to sob. "Oh shut up, stop crying! Why are you crying?! At least this first day was not as bad as all the others you`ve had at other schools!" she whispered to herself angrily between sobs. Why did she feel so foolish? It was true that is wasn`t as bad as other schools, yet making friends was still just as difficult. She gently removed her gloves and placed them in her lap and as she cried she watched a tear hit one and soak into the fabric.
A high giggling was heard and a smaller Angellea ran across a flower field, a man at her heels laughing as well. He scooped her up into his arms and swung her around before placing her back on the ground. He kept his eyes on her as her blue eyes sparkled with childhood innocence. The smile faded from his face. "Your father will be wanting you home soon," he said. She laughed, a high pitched giggle. "You silly, You are my daddy!" she said. The smile returned to his face, only this smile radiated evil. "Today, just call me by my first name," he whispered.
Her eyes darted up yet she saw nothing in front of her. Her past...these images.
Blood. Blood everywhere. "Daddy?" her small voice called , "Daddy where are you?" She walked further until her foot hit something in the dark. "Daddy?" she asked. Dead.....
"Dead!" she said aloud, "Dead!" She let out a high pitched wail, lost in her own mind. "NO! Don`t die please! no no no no no no noooooooo! My fault...I`m sorry!" she rambled, before collapsing on the floor, holding her head with her un-gloved hands. She was suddenly aware of her surroundings, and possibly another person around her.

Tomoro wandered into the Training hall, heading for the room in which she trained in before. Unfortunately, it was occupied with a small boy drinking tea. What the... WHAT? TEA? She shook her head, sighing lightly, wondering if what she saw was just an illusion, and twirled her hair around, heading towards the back of the hall. A girl was screaming nearby, probably trying to gain attention from a few boys or something; pitiful, what a person would do for attention. A few heads turned, some gazing at her scarred eye, others at the fact that she was wearing a kimono with boots, such an unlikely combination. She turned her head, and noticed Dahv training with his electricity, and sighed lightly. That's where he went... Tomoro opened the small paper covered door at the very end of the long hall, and wandered in.
Putting her boots to the side of the door, Tomoro slowly took off her kimono, revealing all of her skin except for the undergarments she was wearing. There was a small white robe laying on a hook, and Tomoro slipped it on quickly, just in case anyone saw her. She still had the amethyst bracelet on her hand. The robe was a bit... tight, and some of her clothing could be seen through it, but she shook her head and began to stretch, first sitting down and leaning forward, then doing the splits... she stood up, and cracked her neck before snapping her fingers, creating a small green orb in her hand. NOW I'm ready to practice...

Angellea sat up, hearing the girls thoughts, trying her hardest not to get rather angry. She watched her for a bit before replacing her gloves and getting up to follow her. "No boys," she said, "Just memories." She did not know the girl, but she wasnt feeling like her normal shy self at the moment. She felt rather....different. She stared at her for a moment, quiet. "What would make you think it was a guy anyway?" she asked.

Tomoro looked at the girl, both eyes shining, and cupped her hands, making the small orb of green instantly disappear. "I never said it was a guy. I was just wondering why you were screaming in a place that was supposed to be quiet, a place where people can concentrate and use their abilities." Tomoro raised an eyebrow, and closed her eyes, forming the orb once again. "A psychic, I see... you'll find nothing in my mind. Absolutely nothing. Now, if you excuse me, I need to train. I haven't done so in a while." Tomoro blew the orb into the air, and tightened her kimono, staring at it intently. Almost instantly, the orb seemed to form roots, and a small sprout stemmed from the top. "Well, at least I can still bring life to plants..." she continued staring at it, the small orb glowing a dull brown, then a pink, as the sprout itself began to grow. After reaching a maximum height of 7 inches, small white flowers began to stem from it. "There.." she whispered.

"Damn it! I failed! I have to do it again!" He turned to the other targets and began to channel his energy. He kept a steady breathing and the lightning came in flux with his breath. His hands faced towards the front target and he focused on the back. He charged up a stronger lightning bolt, hoping that was his problem from failing.
"Relaxation, Concentration, and Confidence make power..." He closed his eyes and calmed down. He let out a deep breath and smiled. "I can do this. I will do this. I will become the best!" With his last word he fired the lightning bolt but kept a follow through with his other hand and channeled his energy to control the bolt. He made it pass through the first target and it passed through the second, third and fourth, but it destroyed the fifth, sixth and last target. He let out a deep breath and calmed his heart beat.
"Damn... I was so close... I'll get it next time..." He stood straight and smiled. "Better start cleaning!"

"I have no control when my memories hit me," she said watching her," besides, I dont even know where I am." She slowly began going back to the normal, shy Angellea. Plant...Thats how she felt. Like a plant.
She continued to watch, somewhat fascinated, somewhat still spaced out. "How long have you been here?" she asked, politely. Her hand instictively grabbed her gloves. Nervous habit. She forced her hand behind her back to clasp each other as she waited patiently for an answer.
