Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shien stumbled a bit, but recovered in time to flip over Albel's knee. He sighed as he landed on the other side of Albel, then turned around to face him. "Yadda, yadda." as he grabbed the katana with both hands. This time, no fooling around.

He closed the gap between them with a quick dash, then slashed downward at Albel, then aimed a up-wards diagonal at him following that followed by Shien pulling the blade back and thrusting forward sharply.

Albel ahd the same malevalent smirk the whole time. Albel watched the man as he presumably ' got serious '. He watched as if in slow motion as the man flew forward in a two handed downwards slash. As the slash was abotu to cleave Albel in half he rasied his clawed hand up and caught the blade with the sickening sound of metal grinding " Should have layed low when you had the chance " With a firm grip on the mans sword Albel brought up his knee in another forcefull knee to the mans stomach.

Shien grinned sharply, and grabbed the knee quickly, trying to hold it back. "Yeah, but where would the fun in that be?" as he gritted his teeth. For such a skinny man, he sure had some force behind that knee. Shien sighed, and said "Besides, that dress of yours just kinda screams 'Whoop my a**!', ya'know?"

Shien spun, letting the knee fly past him, then using the fact Albel had a firm grip on his sword to let the momentum from the spin take him upwards, then aim a rather forceful double-foot slam to the man, not really caring where he hit.

Albel flew forwards and let go of the sword quickly. He stumbled for a second then heard a movement behind him " I rather liek the dress thank you " With this word he swung around his sword spinnign around his body with him trailing energy with it the attack flew from the sword and hit the ground around him casuing it to explode outwards in his shockwave swirld attack. The large explosion of earth blocked most of the attack as a few rocks flew from the attack and hit him in teh chest although he ignored the minor nuisances as he thought of them.

Shien growled as he lifted both arms, blocking his face and chest from the majority of the attack. He flew backwards, landing on one knee and one foot, skidding backwards. "Well, good for you." he said, with a fierce grin. He stood up slowly, and brushed a bit of hair out of his face. He gripped the sword tightly again, his grin fading slowly.

He spun it in both hands slowly, letting it pick up speed, then slashing fowards, three straight arcs of force flying forward, aiming for Albel. Shien himself followed behind the attacks, the sword gripped tightly and held straight out to his right. He was intending to reach Albel, then tilt the blade diagonally downwards and slash point-blank to the man's face.

Shien grumbled in surprise as he tumbled forward roughly, landing on his face. He mumbled something, then pushed himself up, surprised he hadn't ripped open his arm with his katana during the fall. He brushed himself off slowly, then as he was brushing off his jeans, he noticed a small trickle of blood flowing into his sock, from his shin..

He mentally cursed himself. The wounds on his legs ripped more from the fall. He tested his footing, and found a near blinding burst of pain accompanying each step. "Damn.." he said, as he steadied himself. He wasn't going to lose to this wound, no, not to a simple wound.

He growled roughly, then drew the katana backward to the right, the tip of the blade visable on his left side. There was a gust of wind, and the katana shimmered for a moment, before he swung it forward sharp.

A blast of curved wind shot forward at Albel, ripping apart the ground below it as it went. Shien staggered a bit behind the wave, knowing if he fought any longer it would be purely defensive.

Alvel shook his head the same smiurk on " Your finished now Maggot, your just prolonging it " Albel took a few quick steps to the right and the shockwaves flew by him tearing up the ground for a while before dissapating. Albel took a step back and turned to the side, under his shirt a tatto glowed as he summoned the power of fire to his hand. " BURN!!!! " He yelled out before throwing his clawed hand forward. 5 dragon heads with gaping maws made out of fire flew towards the man the first on headed straight towards him, the second made an arch over him and came around behind him. the third and fourth each turned and came at him from the left and right while the final one flew into the air before coming down straight at him. Albels laughter echoed through the courtyard as he watched his spectacular attack " Fool ! Only the strong survive. That''s the law of the jungle! "

Kayla put her book down. She crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at Albel. How cocky could a person get? She didn''t like him, not one bit; and yet someone he intrigue her. She looked at Shien; he was deffidently a gonner. She didn''t just want to stand by and watch as the cocky man think he was superiour over everyone.
