Not to far outside the dome a bit of a fight seems to be going on. The very ground itself is in upheaval as the two combatants clash. Upon closer inspection its pretty easy to find out why. Two elementalists were fighting each other at the moment. One young and furious the other old and amused. It seemed that while Brian was still getting training from his older alternate reality self that the older one decided to make it a bit public at the moment.
Young Brian panted for breath as he stood in the middle of a ring of scorched earth having just managed to defend himself from the explosive fireball with an earthen barrier. He currently had all his powers sealed off besides earth manipulation. It was an annoying situation.
Old Brian merely smirked before sending a furious gale of wind at his younger self, sending the young adult flying. He smiled slightly as the ground bent itself to the will of his younger self to catch him gently. At least till he decided to piss the kid off by usurping control of the earth and sending him flying again via a suddenly grown rock pillar. Though on reflection the kid was already pretty pissed off due to the failure at stopping the great beast and the fact that his older self hasn't really helped beyond training him.
The younger Brian cursed loudly as he was once again airborn. It was rather annoying having his control of the ground being wrested away with such ease when it was the only aspect of his power he still had at the moment. He still wasn't sure how his older self had sealed off the rest of his powers but it was certainly quite infuriating. Summoning up his power once more he managed to gather a platform of earth to meet him at the peak of his ascent. He sat down on it for a moment as he pondered his next course of action. Not that he had long to ponder when another ball of fiery death was flung at him. He dove back towards the ground at high speed landing quite roughly in a roll. The ball of fiery death was then intercepted by his stone platform and exploded prematurely saving the younger Brian from getting roasted.
((Feel free to interrupt the training or assist it on either side. Or whatever.))

Visher watched leaning on a tree as the two fought, He knew both of the fighters well. He knew a few of their moves, here and there, Even bested them with their own moves. Though he's not one to talk, not one to use magic in the least. He just enjoyed watching... ".. I remember that move." Visher said before he yawned and sat himself down under the tree's shade. He thought to himself for a moment.. Oh, I wonder if this'll work.. "Oi! Brian!!" He yelled laughing and scratching his beard.

The younger Brian's head whipped around in surprise at the sudden calling of his name. "What?!" He seemed rather startled about it as well. He had apparently been quite focused on the training and now that was all shattered.
The older Brian on the other hand had known Visher had been sitting there for a while. He might not display it often in the dome but the 5000 year old elementalist had perfect awareness of his surroundings. Mostly thanks to his connection with the air and earth. While his younger self was distracted he flicked a chunk of rock at the lad's head sending the youth flying head over heels. He chuckled a bit at the turn of the events before turning to face Visher. "Sup."

Visher let out a quick laugh before he sat up. "Ah.. Sorry, That never gets old. I just wanted see what you two were doing out here, causing all the noise. Though, don't mind me, I'm merely watchin'." With that Visher set his blade up against the tree and leaned back, his tone became serious. ".. That battle with Malberith was quite the turn out, eh? Just before it I was planning on going to Hell to visit a very close friend.. but Hell came to us it seems.."

"Oh you know, this and that. Mostly me beating combat skills into his skull." Old Brian tilted his head towards his younger self as he spoke. He then turned to face the lad entirely. "You can't let yourself be so easily distracted my young padawan."
The young Brian growled in anger as he got back to his feet and thrust both hands into the ground summoning up as much power as he could muster. He then flipped a rather sizable chunk of stone over in order to squash his other self with it. The mention of the Great Beast and the reminder of their defeat only added to the young elementalist's anger, fueling his powers.
The older Brian whistled in appreciation of the show of force but then flicked the incoming shelf of stone. It split asunder violently falling to both sides of Brian and leaving him unharmed. "Not bad but a bit of a waste." He turned back to Visher for a moment. "I suppose so. I'm actually rather surprised that you lot didn't win that fight. Of course it probably didn't help matters when a bunch of them started trying to kill each other."

Visher looked back at the older Brian. "Win? Win what.. That wasn't a battle, that was a game. He was toying with us. Brian. We didn't stand a damn chance.." He sighed and calmed himself. "Though you're right, the whole fighting each other thing didn't help either.. I hit that son of a b***h with Lightning and he just shrugged it off."
".. God damn we're lucky, We almost lost Ms. Chambers in that.. Trust me, I know how close it was. The Reaper that saved her is kinda my... Nevermind, how have you been? Besides the training, of course."

The younger Brian was panting as he was once more out of breath. He didn't even have any juice left to throw a decent attack at the moment either. He kneeled for a bit as he attempted to regain some energy. He winced at the verbal reminded of how close Eunica had come to death. He didn't like the idea of anyone he knew dieing at all. Except demons.
Old Brian glanced over at his weakened apprentice and shrugged. He snapped his fingers and released the seals on his powers to speed his recovery. "You can take a break." His attention was once again turned back to Visher with a contemplative expression on his face. "So he's really that strong huh? Hmmm... I guess it'll be awhile till I'm done training my younger self. Ain't gonna leave him alone till he can take the Great Beast solo. As for how I've been. Well I've been fine. I've mostly just been training the other me for the past several months."

"Of course." Visher almost laughed again as he sat up. "Though I doubt it, Not without help, Even I know this. So both of you, take my word; No matter how god damn hard-headed you are or how powerful you are.. You should always have allies waiting and wanting to help you, through Heaven or Hell. Trust me, I'm one of them."
"Heh.. I've just been wandering around for awhile, made great friends with a Death god." He scratched the back of his head for moment before he let on. "Haven't seen much of anyone else lately.." He said looking up into the sky. ".. Heard some things about Mars though.. I thought that place was long dead."

"Ya hear that lad? You best not piss off potential allies if you aim to take on hell." Brian flicked a small pebble at his other-self and smirked a bit when even in his tired state the younger him managed to dodge it. He was paying attention again.
As his other self rested, Brian 'ported to the tree Visher was sitting under. He looked down at Visher from the branches he decided to nestle in and frowned. He hadn't really paid much attention to anything but the Great Beast and training his student. "Not quite sure what you're talking about man. But I haven't been paying much attention to things besides the Great Beast and training."
((So I'm guessing that means the going ons on Mars despite being several hundred years after the GRE went down are now effecting the present? Huzzah for time travel? ))

"Ah, don't worry about it, We got enough problems down here." Visher leaned back again and relaxed. "Haven't heard a peep from the b*****d too.. Did he just want a Hellish chess game and then poof! He leaves, No after War, No burning down a Town?.. What's up with that." He asked. "Have you seen anyone else lately even?"
((Man, It's the Battle Dome. Anything happens here. Most likely some time s**t, Who knows what the hell is up there. Plus, I'm talking to two Brian's! Time travel is the norm around here.))

((Well mostly just wanted confirmation in case I want to bring future Alex in. *maniacal laughter* ))
"He's probably just consolidating his power now that he's free again. I wouldn't be surprise if he launched an attack soon. Hopefully, the younger me will be up to snuff by then. But probably not to the point of taking him on single handedly. He's probably got a while longer of intensive training before he can do that." Brian glanced up at the sky and frowned. He seemed to be searching for Mars with his eyes wondering what might be going on up there. He shrugged before turning his gaze back to his younger self who seemed to be taking a nap. A grin split his face as he had a sudden idea.
"Hey Vish. You want to give the other me some combat training against a weapon's master? I'm a fair hand with them myself but I figured it might be good for him to go up against someone else for a change." He looked down at the immortal weapon master and smiled cheerfully hoping he would accept.

"Probably.. But hey, We'll give'em the old one-two, eh?" Visher laughed, He sat up and looked up at the older Brian. "Hm? Gladly."
Visher stood up and grabbed his blade, flipping it around for a better grip. "Beside's the battle I haven't had a lot fights lately.. I'll give'em a warm up for starters." Visher walked on over too and loomed over the sleeping younger Brian, casting a shadow. He placed two fingers on his lips and whistled loudly. "Alright, nap times over. Boy." He said with big grin as he looked down at him. "It's my turn."

The younger Brian shot awake at the high pitched whistle coming from the weapon's master. He stared up at the looming figure for a moment before rolling backwards and back to his feet. He wasn't quite sure what was going on but he was prepared for a fight if need be.
"Oh and Vish don't worry about going easy on him. If he dies I can just bring him back." The older Brian called across the field.
The younger stared at his mentor in some degree of slight disbelieve. He then gave an exasperated sigh knowing that that wasn't exactly out of character for him.
