Welcome to Gaia! ::

Scott's spirit floated back down to earth, he was screaming the entire time. "What do you mean 'not yet my time?' I was gooifyed by a giant with a sword bigger than a building!" The specter lookeddown to the ground, witch was comin up fast. He spotted Takara and a thought crossed his mind. HE floated in front of her and consentraited to let her see him.

The bus pulled up at the foot of a long set of stone stairs that went up a hill. The stairs were lined with plants and two large torii stood at the top and bottom of the stairs. The club walked up the steps silently. At the top of the stairs sat a Shinto shrine. They went up to a priest and the manager and began to talk with him. They finished soon, the priest began to speak to the club. When he finished he led the club to the dojo in the back. He opened for the tryout and sat down to watch the fights. All of the members started preping for battle. Akashi tossed Kyosuke his kendo stick. Kyosuke caught it and with a nod of thanks, finished preparing. The team manager started to call out peoples names so that they would know the order in which they fight.

"Oh, sorry..."

Takara stared off, going through her mind for anything that would help, her eyes refocusing back to reality a few moments later.

"There's a spell that will be able to put your body back to rights, and once that's done, I can reseal your spirit inside. Though I can get the components easily enough from my house, we'll have to wait for full moon since it requires a good bit of power from the earth as well as the caster..."

Jeremiah, we, as in me and Ryan were both trained by an old man that knew about our "firepower" if you will, he taught us how to overcome it, and also how to control it, and everything about it me and Ryan were always competing, and it was believed that me and Ryan were so hell bent on being better than one another that we were willing to fight each other to the death!

I was jealous because in my mind, i figured that Ryan would beat me eventually, i was nothing...i was the loser before our war even started...the point is, me and Ryan are somewhat the same, when we die...we explode causing a last resort when Ryan died, did you see him explode?

there is something i'm always seeing, Noob is coming back, Ryan's not dead, but just resting off of the excess energy from the Jewel of Ages, but he will die, just not in your hands...also your friend Catalyxe will lose someone very close to him and *feels someone else's presence and twitches his head to that direction*show yourself!

Tachi looked over to Takara, who seemed to be staring at nothing. He shooke her out of in and pointed to Scorpion. Shall we?

Tachi teleported down next to Scorpion. "What are you doing on earth?" He tone was flat and demanding.

Kyosuke sat down at the side of the battle ground intent on learning his foe's techniques, to memorize every movement and look for repetitions to gain adavntage in battle. Not breaking his concentration. Akashi sat down next to him and tried to talk to him, but Kyosuke didnt answer. He was in the second bracet(sp?) meaning he would be up after the next fight. He was up against his squads captain. A few moments later the first fight was over. The winner was the girl who had asked him about his scar before they had gotten onto the bus. Her form was well taught but had one major flaw. She was left handed fighting right handed. Kyosuke, who had been taught a left handed form was ready to confuse her. That way she would have to adapt in battle, giving Kyosuke the ad.vantage. The next battle was Akashi and another kid, whos armor looked to big for him. it was sagging about an inch from where it should be. If he won, he would be overtaken with speed. Akashi on the other hand was flawless, he won in a matter of moves. Bring up Kyosuke and Shiohei. Kyosuke stood and loosened up his elbows, shoulders, knees, and hips, walked onto the battle ground watching every move made by his combatant. They bowed and the bout began. Kyosuke snapped to a Chinese from he developed for the Hyakuhekitou, he called the Dragons Flower. A stance with a semi wide leg distance and the sword drawn in toward the left side ready for a thrust. Shiohei charged, kendo stick held high. Kyosuke spun to the right and hit the lowering kendo stick from the left with a powerful blow, causing some damage to the stick. Kyosuke followed up with a downward strick from the left and used the momentum gain to down a sideways tempesteach time hitting the raised kendo stick in the exact same place, causeing fractures in the bambo. He hit a total of four strikes in the tempest and landed smoothly kendo stick drawn in, up to his left shoulder and thrust right through the damagaed area of Shiohei's kendo stick snapping it in two hitting shioheis mask for the instant win. The bout last no more than 7 seconds. Shiohei was sprawled out on the floor. Kyosuke pulled off his mask and walked over to Shioheiand pulled him up by the hand. Shiohei took off his mask he had a broken nose even though the tip of the kendo stick had stopped a few centimeters from Shioheis face. He corrected his nose and went to sit down. Everyone in the dojo was in awe at what they had just seen. Nobody said anything as Kyosuke walked back to his spot and sat down waiting for the next bout.
