Alec walked into the training room, intent on getting a few good hours of training in. He quickly moved to a punching bag and began punching at it. He tried a few different combos, along with a few kicks. He loved doing this stuff, the way the body moved while fighting was an art form only the most well trained could respect. He was at the pinnacle of his health, stronger and faster then he could ever hope to become, he loved every minute of it. His father had been the one that hardened him from a young age, but he never understood quite why. But once he became a hunter, he knew why. It required great stamina, and strength to hunt, not to mention a great deal of patience. Hunting vampires, Lycans and demons wasn't a simple find and kill game, you had to watch your foe, judge his strengths and weaknesses then exploit them to your advantage.
He finished with the punching bag then moved on to doing a few push-ups and sit-ups.

Ravenna entered and immediately set to work on a punching bag, releasing the day's stress and strain. She was completely unaware of anyone else as she repeatedly hit the bag until her arms bacame sore.
No longer able to continue on with the punching bag, Ravenna hopped on a treadmill and began to run, as she had so many times before. That's what she did when things got tough. She ran. There was only one thing she could not run from and that was guilt.
That was why she became a hunter. She felt guilty. When her father, the only parent she had ever known, died she was left in charge of her younger brother. She had been young then, only sixteen. It was hard, having to care for him. He was wild and rebellious. So she simply stopped. She stopped caring, talking. She would leave for hours at a time, returning to the house in the early hours of dawn.
One day she came home and her brother was not there. There was no note. There was no goodbye. It stayed that way for a few years; Ravenna alone, wondering what went wrong. Then, in time, she discovered a coven of vampires had taken in her brother. They had given him what Ravenna had not: family.
This was what Ravenna was thinking about as she ran fullspeed on the treadmill, never stopping to catch her breath.
It was not that she did not enjoy being a hunter. It had started out as revenge, but now it was much more. She loved her job and it meant so much to her.

Coming to the end of her Jog around the city, Kate entered the training room and sat down, panting softly. She found a bottle of water and leaned back, drinking greedily before spraying a bit more over her face and hair.
Stretching, she looked around the rest of the room.
"5 minutes, then I'll attempt something," She told herself, eyeing the punching bag.

Eventually, Kate picked herself up and stepped up to the punching bag. For the next 30 minutes, she gave the punch bag hell, unleashing her most furious and spectacular attacks with a fierce growl between each one. Eventually, her last attack threw the bag straight up into the ceiling, causing a large crack and a shower of dust to rain down. Panting, she shook herself free of dust and grunted.
"I need a shower," she muttered, and looked back. Grabbing her kit bag, she headed to get the keys to her new flat...

Will stalked into the training and sparring room, rage barely contained. He'd have to be careful to keep that rage in check. If he wasn't, he could unleash it against Krii'Ouse. Glaring at everyone clustered around the room, Will growled loudly, driving them away from him. "Everybody get out and stay the hell out for at least an hour. And somebody have Gail and Elliot standing by in case medics are needed. NOW, PEOPLE."
As they fled from the room in the face of his carefully contained anger, Will shucked his weapons, armor, and all of his clothing save for his pants. Taking a minute to stretch out, he folded his arms and stood glaring at the door. Now he just had to wait for Sethe to arrive and they could get on with this.
(Illiud, PM me so we can discuss this.)

Sethe walked in, a cigarette hanging from his mouth. For some reason the Hunters outside the room had tried to stop him. He'd left them a little mental sting to warn them not to ******** with him when he's pissed off. Walking in, and seeing Will derobed, he found his thoughts. Will was going to try and convince Krii'Ouse through diplomacy or through violence.
'I'm not so easily persuaded, brother. You should know that.' He then sensed what Reno'd just said. 'Eden... a vampire! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?! MASTURBATING?!' in the state of anger and rage he was in, Krii'Ouse coup;dn't contain much of anything. His inhibitions and usual kindness had gone into a coma, and Krii'Ouse thrust his palms forward, mental energy blasting from his palms, meant to send Reno into the wall.
Looking back to Will, he followed suit, taking his duster off, followed by his armour, his boots, lastly his cowl, now covered only by his ninja gi. He then took off even the shirt of that. His tattoos showing in all their glory now, the Hunter's symbol on his left pectoral muscle glaring at Will.
His glowing eyes slowly turned red, and he glared at his brother. 'Well, if you're going to try and talk me down, better get to it.'

Reno was thrown hard by Sethe's mind blast and hit the wall very hard.He winced looking up at him."I was expecting this from Will but not you."He held his shoulder that had nearly been shattered from that one thrust.

Sethe turned to Reno. 'She's my sister, too. Her family blood courses my veins, and has for a couple of years. He being turned, and your incompetence angers me more. Now, get your a** to the Infirmary to look at that shoulder.' he said, trying to be compassionate. 'NOW!'
It wasn't working... heh.

Will bit his lip hard enough that he found himself swallowing his own blood. Damn it, he did NOT need this on top of everything else right now. He had to keep his calm! He had to stay in control! Because if he lost it... Then only one Hunter would be walking out of this room by the end of the night.
He breathed in deeply, then turned to Reno. "You're not the only one who has failed her, Reno. And she's not the first that we've failed in this manner. Go, we'll talk later. Get your shoulder checked out, then go find Edith. Trust me, she's been alone long enough by now. She'll need somebody's shoulder to lean on. Now get out and stay out."
Turning to Sethe, he growled, as loudly and viciously as any lycan. He'd learned a lot from Tyler's lessons, just like Krii'Ouse had. "Fine, but first tell me who the hell I'm trying to talk down? Sethe, my blood brother? The person that I personally pulled out of his own individual hell and gave him his life back? Am I talking to Krii'Ouse, the Hunter? The person who swore loyalty to me and my cause, who has fought beside me for his entire adult life? Or am I talking to Esou, the lycanthrope my brother became? The one that I welcomed into my pack?"
Will snorted. "Funny, I don't see how I can talk them down when they don't seem to be here. All I see is someone who is hurt and angry, and wants to hurt everyone and everything around him so that they feel just as hurt. But despite, that, I don't want to hurt you. I want you to trust me, to believe me when I tell you that I'm trying to find the best path for everybody's good. So, I'm asking you. My brother, my friend, my comrade. WILL. YOU. LISTEN. TO. ME?"

The Hunter Lycan grinned. 'You're right. None of those three are here. Just a pissed off Lycan. I don't want to hurt everyone, only Kaji. Reno failed to save Eden. There is a certain punishment that goes along with failure.' he said, coldly. 'So, it was dealt. Just as Kaji's punishment will be dealt, and his crime will be repaid in the same fashion he paid it.'
Krii'Ouse looked Will in the eyes. 'The best path... HA! You've grown weak, Will. For God's sake your child was almost dead! You're too kind, now. You're willing to give Kaji a trial, when what he did is obvious, and needs to be dealt with! Everyone say it!' he yelled at his brother.
'You're just going to let him get away with nearly killing two Hunters and your child? He shot at Kerri point blank with a sniper rifle, who dodged, and it hit your lover and nearly hit your child! How can you be so soft as to forgive someone for that! If it were a Lycan not of the HUnters, you'd have them hunted down! You want equality? Then treat him like you would anyone else who attacks the Hunter's Guild and it's members!'
Krii'Ouse's muscles tensed. 'You're not worthy to be called Alpha Male.' His eyes turned black, and his skin paled more. His brows furrowed with rage. 'And if you are...' he began, his voice deeper, '... prove it.'

Reno started sweating as soon as he saw both how WIll and Sethe looked at eachother.He was shaking.Taking Sethe's advice Reno ran out of the room without saying a word for fear of being attacked.He waited outside wanting to at least be sure both left alive.

Will sighed. "I hoped it wouldn't come to this. I'd hoped I'd be able to make you understand that Kaji is one of us, and because of that he enjoys our protection as well. That a trial is nescessary, so that we can all together determine whether or not he still falls under that protection or if he is to be treated as any other enemy. I hoped that you could see as I do that this path leads to war and the deaths of everyone we know and love. I really, truly hoped... that we could talk this out."
His smile turned wistful. "But I guess I knew that wouldn't happen. That's why I brought you here. So that..."
He bit his lip and closed his eyes. When they opened again, they were hard and cold as arctic ice. There was none of the warmth, compassion, or passionate spirit that helped him to lead the Hunters. Just a cold, determined fighting machine. "So that once I beat you bloody I could drag the pathetic carcass to the infirmary with ease."
Anger and supressed rage spilled from his mouth, chillingly cold and fiery all at the same time. "You think I'm WEAK? You think I'm not strong enough to serve as Alpha of this pack? YOU KNOW NOTHING! You don't know or understand my power, what I constantly have to hold back! And if you were still Krii or Sethe... You'd know just how very, horribly dangerous I can be. So now I'm going to teach you a valuable lesson and drive home one simple fact you literal son of a b***h; you're not the top dog here, I AM."
Will snarled and crouched into a fighting stance, teeth bared and eyes locked with his maddened friend's as he gestured the lycan forward. "Bring it, PUP."
((And so the fight of the ages begins!))

((Round One. FIGHT!))
Krii'Ouse smiled. 'Pup?' he asked, spreading his legs out, and bringing his fists up. 'We'll see who's the pup.' He launched forward, bringing his right foot upwards, towards the left side of Will's torso. He followed with a spinning kick, left leg flying uphigh, aiming for Will's head. Landing his maneouvre, he threw his right fist low, to the gut, and whipped his left hand towards the opposite side of Will's face.

The vampiress had come to the hall that lead to the training room, only to find it filled with a mosh pit of hunters and huntresses. As Edith approached closer, she found herself being forced to shoulder people out of her way to reach Gail. For whatever reason the majority of the people were telling her not to go into the training room.
For the moment, she ignored them as she made her way to Gail. "Gail," she asked the medic, practically groveling, "I need a medical blood packet ASAP before I decide fresh is better." The last thing she needed to be doing was killing someone and drinking their blood so she could get shot by UV rounds.
Gail nodded in understanding and as Edith had, shouldered her way through the mob of people to retrieve Edith's packet of blood. The medic knew that the girl had not fed and was reaching her limit of time to feed before she went beserk.
Her enhanced vampiric hearing easily picked up a random hunter telling another that William and Sethe were fighting. Upon hearing the statement, Edith made her way to the doors that lead into the training room. People blocked her way to the door, telling her she could not enter - a very unwise thing to tell Edith what she could and could not do.
Normally she would ask the people to move or shoulder them aside, but she did not have the patience for this right now. "OKAY PEOPLE I'VE CAUGHT YOUR DRIFT NOW GET THE ******** OUTTA MY WAY SO I CAN SEE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON! MY BROTHERS ARE IN THERE! NOW MOVE YOUR SORRY ASSES OUTTA THE WAY OR I'LL HAPPILY OBLIGE AND MOVE EM' FOR YOU!"
All the hunters and huntresses that had been blocking her way had quickly moved to avoid her line of fire. Edith, without hesitation burst into the training room. Right now she was pissed off and did not give a damn what anyone thought about her transformation, her decision to become a shadowstalker, nor that she was interrupting their battle.
As she saw Krii'Ouse attacking William, she applied her vampiric speed to move in front of her brother to take the psychic's blows. She was sent sprawling back into William unless he happened to hit the deck before she impacted with him. However, unknown to her, Edith's own inherited powers of telekinesis and being psychic kicked in without warning and softened the impact of Sethe's blows. Edith would almost cerntainly slam him against the wall unintentionally with her own body. However, her telekinetic powers were being awakened slighty since she was in a small amount of distress and may end up doing her a favor. Whatever happened, whatever the outcome, Edith had served as her brother's non-human shield.
