Welcome to Gaia! ::

The pebbles all jabbed into him, and he puffed away in smoke. A mere moment later, three shuriken were being hurled toward her from her right side. There were now two of the man, each one charging at her with kunai's in both hands. One was infront of her, the other was behind her.

Trip and the frog just stood there, starring at each other. There were about three meters away from each other, with their raised so that they could strike, or parry with ease. The frog made the first move. It dashed towards him then disappeared, then reappeared behind Him. Trip instinctively created and air wall behind him to block the blow. He then whipped around, the sword extended. This caused an Air Cutter to go flying towards the frog. It jumped over the Air Cutter and landed gracefully, then charged once again.

Unfortunately, there was no thoughts that were actually words too look onto. The only thing they were "thinking" were growls. They both disappeared in a puff of smoke, and a slightly rumbling in the ground could be heard. Tow hands shot up from the concrete and attempted to grab onto Ana's ankles. That's when two more of him appeared at her left and right again, charging at her with a kunai in both hands.

Trip let down his air wall and jumped back, using air to practically let himself fly. He landed on the ground and slashed several times with his sword. the frog managed to dodge them all fairly easily, and locked blades with him.

The frog jumped back quickly and knocked Trip off balance. The frog sheathed its sword and made a few hand signals, then looked Trip in the eyes after he regained balance. He charged at Trip again, and he tried to put up a wind wall, but nothing happened. He managed to raise up his sword in time to redirect the jab, but was not fast enough to stop three more. One to the leg, one to the arm, and one to the stomach. Trip twisted around and slashed at the toad with a single powerful swipe, and managed to scratch its side, but it was too fast. He raised his hand to his mouth and started coughing up blood.

In reality, Trip was just standing there, in the same position that he had been in when he looked into the toads eyes. The toad was now sitting down, panting. Apparently, it was a good soldier, but lacked stamina. It had put Trip into some kind of comatose state when they had locked eyes. Suddenly, a little blood came from Trips' mouth.

The hands that had grabbed onto Ana's ankles were now attempting to pull her into the ground, to immobilize her. That was when four more clones appeared, and three got stopped by the psychic walls as they walked into them, but one made it through the cracks in her wall. It drew a kunai and continued to walk towards her. Its eyes were wide and it was laughing maniacally.

((I'm gonna be off for a bit. Maybe an hour. Probably no more than that.[unless my mom stays up late]))
All the clones completely stopped doing everything. Literally, the did nothing, and puffed away, even the one underneath Ana that was pulling her into the ground.

It looked like the frog got punched in the face when Ana's mental power hit it. It's head craned towards Ana 's position. It just smiled and and closed its eyes. It then attempted to force Ana out of its head with all its might.

Everything seemed to get slightly blurry all of a sudden. The frog lunged at him again, and he seemed to have better reaction time. Trip blocked all three lunges, and four swipes almost with ease. They locked swords, and both attempted the same disarming maneuver. Their swords went flying away, and neither knew where either one was. Trip punched the frog twice in where he thought the ribs would be, but hit nothing. Because the frog was to his left. It kicked him with tremendous force and sent him flying into one of the apartment buildings.

((lol, one more post, waiting for my bro to get off teh Xbox >.<))
Trip pulled himself out of the wall of the apartment building and looked inside. It was a black void. Trip appeared to be standing his ground when the frog jumped at him, his hand balled up into a fist. At the last minute, Trip dodged to the side. The frog almost fell into the void, but managed to stay out of it. He then jumped towards him again. Trip got nailed in the short ribs. Trip grabbed its arm and slung it around and threw it into the wall. It landed on the wall and jumped back towards Trip, and nailed him in the face. He was knocked several feet back and slid on the ground. The frog made a few hand signs and slammed his hand down on the ground. A katana appeared in the frogs hand. He walked up to the disoriented Trip and stabbed him in the chest.

The frog was some how fighting Ana. Its power was matched with hers. The decay of the illusion was halted, and her advance into his mind was also halted. Though, his progress in the battle inside Trip's mind was coming along swimmingly.

Trip coughed a little, more blood coming out of his mouth, with a few drops flying into the air.

Trip grabbed onto the sword and twisted his body a little, removing the sword from the frogs grip. He kicked it on the chest from the ground, then stood up. He pulled it out of him and looked down at the frog.

Trip coughed up a little more blood.

He held it to the frogs throat and plunged it into its throat. The frog gasped as the world around Trip began to fade and darken.

The frog flinched and bled from the mouth slightly as Trip killed the illusion. He made a dash towards trip and slammed the butt of its sword into his short ribs, not strong enough to break them, but bruise the tissue around them, then fell down. "In the store. A poster. A secret button. A secret stair case. Find it" He said before Trip came to and instinctively stabbed him with his sword. He pulled the sword out of the frog and blew it into the building with a powerful wind blast. Trip dropped to one knee and gripped his left side. Where were his wounds? Was that whole thing an illusion? Well, what ever it was, where the wounds had been in his head still hurt, a lot.

Trip nodded and stayed there for a moment, watching its body move naturally for the last time as it bled out. Trip stabbed his sword into the ground and forced himself to stand up. He spat the blood in his mouth onto the ground and wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve. Using the sword to balance himself, like with a cane, and started following Ana. Trip was about a minute or so behind Ana. He followed her into the store and looked around. He started walking to the back of the store And picked himself up and sat down on a counter. He put his sword next to him on the counter and sighed, grabbing his side again as pain shot through it.
