It was early in the morning, far too early for anyone in their right mind to be firing off a gun.
Ami wasn't in her right mind, anyways.
The metallic clang as she missed yet another of her targets. The bullet instead decided to ricochet off the target's arm and onto the ground where it would get buried in a premature grave. No funeral was to be had, as Ami was already firing her next shot, wasting the training bullets like they were candy.
At least no one was ever up at this hour. She'd learned her lesson with Lex- never go to the shooting range when people were awake. It was just a headache and a half that she didn't need. So early morning gunshots it was.

A light jog, the cool air was refreshing, Syd thought as she pulled to a stop in the practice field. She hesitated as she heard the sound of a gun being fired, then shrugged, figuring it could be Gale or one of the other gun toting hunters. Absently she dug in her pocket, pulling out her earplugs (why she had those, don't ask) sticking them in and heading for the shooting range.
Wait... huh...
Well, she wasn't about to stop her morning workout just because Ami was a terrible shot, she thought, heading for the dummies and summoning Izy's weapon form. Then she started shooting.
Heart... throat... eyes... crotch... each was dead on, even the knees and elbows that she aimed at.

Ami was reloading the chamber of her gun when arrows came flying out of nowhere. She looked up as the final arrow notched in her target, a perfect quintuplet of its brothers.
Wait a tick. Those were FEAR arrows. Those weren't ...
"Sydney," Ami spat under her breath.

"You didn't seem to be using it," Syd said as she pulled her earplugs out. "Although I fully agree with learning to use the runic weapons, don't you think you're wasting a bit too much ammo?" she asked.
What? It was a legitimate question! She had no idea about Junpei, she'd been too busy dying at the time.

"Don't you think it's rude to interrupt someone's training?" she hissed. Sydney had no idea what she'd been through, why she was learning these. YOU DON'T KNOW HER LIFE, SYDNEY.
A warning shot in Syd's direction. "Seriously, buzz off."

... What?
Wow, she hadn't changed much, had she? Or had she even gotten worse? Seriously, Syd was wondering if she shouldn't have skipped the shooting practice entirely when she saw the other female. But--
Izy was bellowing in the back of her mind.
Oh. Right.

Was it really a spar when the other girl was using a runic weapon? Izy didn't give her much time to think about it, yelling about shooting her--so Syd, even more easily swayed by her weapon in this case, decided that it damn well was!
The FEAR arrow slammed into Ami's shoulder.

Although Ami had shot the first bullet, she was surprised by how quickly Sydney retaliated. Junpei probably would've told her to back off and calm down, but well ... Junpei wasn't here.
To be honest, her blood was boiling. She'd been holding in a lot of sadness and anger, with no outlet but crying late at night, or when no one was looking. As far as she was concerned? A little rustle and tussle wouldn't kill the intermediate. In fact, Ami was certain she'd get her a** kicked. It just needed to happen so she could get the feeling over with.
She reached up and grabbed the arrow, prying it out of the cloth around her shoulder. It was go time.

Why wasn't she summoning her weapon? The question was bugging her--but maybe this was some sort of training too? "I think that it's great you're learning how to work with runic weapons," she told the other girl. "It shows initiative."
Then she shot her again. It was a spar, after all.

Ami grimaced, pulling the arrow out of her leg this time. ******** Sydney. ******** Sydney and her impeccable ******** Sydney and the mocking tone that filled her voice. "Shut the hell up!" Ami screamed, firing her guns with no rhyme or reason in Sydney's direction. "You don't know anything!"

"Obviously I know a lot more than you do about aiming long range weapons," Syd said, getting irritated. She had meant that compliment, but here Ami was, going off again blindly. She still wasn't sure what the other girl's issue with her was, but it was irritating. She shot again, this time only glancing the other hunter.
"I can't see you taking this training seriously if you refuse to even sight down the barrel of your weapon, though," she said coolly.

No. Calm down. She needed to breath. Ami realized she was getting too worked up. She needed to rethink this, analyze it from the outside. Right now she was running around in plain sight- practically target practice for the other intermediate who had more experience.
She ducked behind a dummy, trying to use it for cover while she thought. It would at least delay Sydney for a little while longer.
Really, with her crappy temporary shield and guns she had no idea how to use, Sydney was at a specific advantage. The only thing Ami had was the cover. So what was she supposed to do?
... Maybe Sydney would just succumb to good old baiting into anger. "Yeah because you know all about guns. I know this might be news," Ami called out from behind her dummy, "But crossbows and guns are just a little different."

"But aiming stays the same," Sydney taunted right back, moving silently so she could get another shot at Ami. "You look down the barrel, line up the sights, add in wind speed and trajectory power--and shoot."
There she was, Syd thought, doing exactly what she'd just said.
Even hiding, Syd hit her dead on.

Ami hissed as an arrow whizzed through the arm space of the dummy to get her in the side. How did Sydney managed to do that? Seriously, this girl had crazy aim. Well it was a bit unfair- Ami had had about two weeks with these things, and Syd had had her entire career as a hunter. Ami would LOVE to see Sydney with a glaive.
She sighed and tried shooting a few in Syd's direction. Anything to shut the girl's attitude off. "Please tell me more Sydney. I clearly asked for an in depth DISCUSSION." Ami huffed. She never asked for the lecture, thanks.

"But it helped, didn't it? How many marksmen have you asked for help in your new training? By the way you were shooting earlier, I would say none. You should at least talk to someone that you don't hate passionately," Syd added, glancing down at where she'd been hit before bringing up Izy, aiming, and shooting the other hunter again.
