Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tempests' grin only grew wider when they readied themselves for battle, but it soon turned to a frown when they separated, thinking that he would get a 2 verses 1 battle. "What the...? H-hey!" He shouted toward the escaping sister, catching Ana's sword with his bare hand, the materials clashing against each other causing sparks as the blade travels through his grip, his hand stopping at the guard.

"And you think I didn't hear that?!" He angrily shouted to Ana, his free hand grabbing her wrist that held the sword, lifting her off the ground over his head and right before she hit the ground, the gears on his arms quickly revved and suddenly stopped, the force of the impact being much stronger than expected as the ground cracked under her body.

As he released Ana, he looked onto the escaping Kat, "Get back here and fight!" He shouted to her, readying himself to throw another long ranged attack as the rings revved again, but he paused as the arrows appeared in his line of sight, his hostile stance now calming down, the gears following suit. "Damn, out of range," He rolled his eyes, looking back to Ana. "Get up. Can't take you seriously if you can't stand." He grinned again, taking a few careful steps backward out of range of her blade.

Tempest lays on the ground, letting out a loud burst of laughter. "You want me to take that seriously when you talk smack?" He teased, taking a casually relaxed position, laying on his side while resting his head on his hand and crossing his legs. While looking onto her, his numbers, arrows and graphs appeared in his sight again, a counter quickly increasing in number before coming to a stop. "Pfft, and you're not even that fast anyway! I just hope there's more to you then just 'speed' and 'swordplay'. "He taunted, the wheels lightly revving and levitating him off the ground in his exact position, soon standing on his feet again.

With another grin, he lowers himself to the ground in his starter pose, knees bent and his arms holding him up as the gears on his leg begin to turn, "Now, why don't you try to keep up this time, samurai?" His legs straightens out before disappearing like his opponent, only in a blur of green. The ground below him crumbled from the force, streaks of him appearing before crashing into various parts of the area and creating multiple indents all around Ana, never losing any of his speed while slowly drawing closer to her.

Just as he closed the distance, he dashes straight at her and grabs her by the neck, pinning her against the ground as he ran. He eventually slams her into a building wall, coming to a full stop with Ana being held by his strong, cold, metal fingers with her feet off of the ground. "Fast enough for you?" He asked while he increased his stranglehold on her neck, releasing her and pinning her back again with his other forearm from her neck. Slowly, each ring on his forearm revved to life, teasing to grind at her throat but right before the last one, he punches her in the stomach. He lets her go as she lurches forward, delivering another strong hook to her face, sending her to the side.

Tempest grunts slightly at the sudden pain he felt after the rips that appeared on his clothing. Some of the slashes from her sword hitting against something concealed and hard enough to block her attacks, the marks only being half of their intended length. "Oh my," He said with surprise as he ran his hand against his wounds, rubbing the small about of blood between his finger tips. "It's seems I'm not as fast as her. It's a shame, really, but she's not as strong as me. Both offensive and defensive wise." He said, smiling as he pounded his fist hard on his chest, a loud clang sound being heard as if metal were hitting against each other.

"Now, just one more to go." With that, he begins to walk toward the other sister, leaving an unconscious Ana on the ground and hoping to catch and break to news of her defeat to her twin, curious of her reaction. Just as he takes a few steps, the various symbols appear in his line of sight, zooming closer to catch an oncoming Kat headed back into town. "Wait... why is she coming back? Did she miss the ship? Did they leave without me?" He thought as his smile disappeared. "Aw man! And I wanted to fight some more! But I don't have time for this!" He moves into one of the many alleyways away from the main street and out of the sight of Kat, dash quietly through them past her and to the docks.

(Exits Ryutokai Streets and enters Ryutokai Docks.)

Farther down the street. Fozzil comes to an abrupt stop. Fozzil sniffs the air, before facing down an empty street.

"They'll be heading down this way any minute now. We just gotta be patient." Fozzil said, sitting down on the ground.

His pet darted around across his shoulders, keeping an eye out for the others.

Fozzil looks up the sky, as if contemplating. "Hm, I wonder what that dragon kid is up to right now."

Fozzil pet cawed in response to seeing the group from earlier."Ah! There you all are!" Fozzil said with a smile. That smile switched to a frown as they noticed Ana's wound, around her waist.

"Hm. By the looks of things, you guy ran into that tricky wind abuser as well, eh?" He asked, rotating his finger in a circular motion, mimicking a fan.

"Indeed. I know nothing of this Scale User business. Is that where that false wind came from?" Fozzil added before pulling out a small notepad and a piece of what looked like coal.

"Please, do continue with your explanation. I'm all ears." Fozzil said lazily, but with an apparent vigor to learn.

Paguu skwaked loudly, as if he was attentive to the conversation as well, eyes on the pretty lady.

"maybe we should go find a dinner or something" Miyuki suggests "we mght be able to find information there"

"Well that seems interesting. Dragons you say? You also say you can sense energy?" Fozzil finishes scribbling in his pad before flipping to a new page.

"Please continue. Where does this power to sense stem from?" He asked, hoping to press on in his discovery. Meanwhile, Paguu climb further up Fozzil. She folded her wings, settling on Fozzil wild hair.
