WOOOOO! I won the Tidbits and Trivia showdown! No one can out do me! I'z iz the greatest!

*takes his official T&TOOC trophy*

((So are we going to do anything or just chat in OOC?))

Hmmm, let's see. The tidbit of tidbitiest trivia about my characters. I don't know why I'm sharing this but I'll do it anyway, maybe because I trust you and love you all....nah, I still hate every one of you guys .

Ian is heterosexual(I'm sure we all knew this) and Jase is...well, not heterosexual but has feelings for Ian all the same. I made them this way for a special reason, because it is, essentially, the love story that is my life in highschool. I am like Jase and there was someone special to me, who is now just a friend, in highschool that I expressed my affections to. We became friends and stuff but in the three years I met him in HS, he didn't return the same feelings which I sort of knew would never come.

So, in short, those two are a testament of a relationship that can never work like the one I have put behind me.

“What’s going on?” Sunako said as he felt himself becoming slower.

Fuijin looked over at the other’s fighting and back to the lich. “You have tricks, I see...well so do I..” She performed a few hand signs and faced Archlich’s magical blasts. “Wind and earth, strike!” She cocked back her arm and punched the air which sent a ball of wind(similar to Namikaze’s Howling Fist attack) at the first blast which exploded in an explosion of wind and earth; most importantly earth. The wind kicked up enough rock and swirled it at the point of impact to catch the second blast as well.

The strong third blast engulfed the whole impact area and continued to blast were Fuijin was standing. When the attack cleared she was no where to be seen.

Sunako, still in the fight, couldn’t help himself but to kneel at the chill that embraced him. He placed a pair of fingers on the ground and traced them in a curve to execute another ninjutsu trick. The ground under 2.0 shifted forcefully to knock him backward and away from Namikaze. Then he quickly turned to Hallucinogen. Sunako, one of the more skills of the three underling ninja, clasped his hands together and sand around Hal swirled up so he couldn’t escape. Sunako changed his hands to set them separated with palms facing and made a snaring motion. The sand around Hal stopped, formed into sharp spikes that were similar in strength to 2.0's and all of them speared together to pierce though Hal from all directions.

Ian stayed frozen in terror and shaking. Even with the clear mind, it just made everything worse for him. He did manage to answer Essex question though. “They....they are the karamatengu....they’re Mistress-Oni’s ninja followers....”

“The boy is right,” Fuijin said, hovering high above the battlefield now. “Too bad you won’t live long enough for it to make a difference.” Fuijin pulled the feathered mantle that was wavering in the wind. She folded it in half, long-ways, then with another motion, spread it apart. It opened up as a large fan, as big as her body and with one mighty wave, it created a huge hurricane force wind directed specifically at Archlich, capable of rending the earth apart with ease.

...and I'll go ahead and add a fourth to the list.

Jing Lei/Yuri (Ling Hun Shou(Soul Fist)/Martial Arts Defender)

Essentially, there is no counterpart for such a combination of powers in CoH. If this set were introduced, It would be full of powers that were buffs and debuffs at the same time. Each power in the set would debuff if used on an enemy and buff if used on an ally.

Yuri obtained these skills from her past life as a priest sage that used his skills to contain a powerful demon that threatened the safety of the entire realm/universe by sending it hurdeling into another realm/universe and would cause both to shatter and mend together to form a new one. She was reincarnated because that threat will soon return and she must meditate to reobtain those skills so she can accomplish the same goal from her past life.

--Martial Arts: She is the most skilled with unarmed combat compared to the other three but has nothing, directly, to augment them. Hyun-ki has kinetic manipulation to enhance the power of his fists, Ian has speed to pull off more attacks with less of a chance to fail, Jase has tricks and magic and a spark of shadow within his fist but she just has pure skill. She has chakra techniques to help her every now and then like Thunder Kick and Storm Strike but mainly relies on skills and mastery of various martial arts.

--Ling Hun Shou: Ah, the thing that makes her powerful/unique/useful. She can attack her opponent internally, which they have no defense against seeing as no one can train their intestines to be more resilient, with spirit energy in her fists. She can do many things from disabling a limb, to causing bloodvessles to burst or to simply put an enemy to sleep. There are pros and cons to this power, of course.
>Pros: If these techniques make even the slightest bit of contact, they cannot be resisted. It matters not if someone is covered in flames, protected by stone, or just plain impervious to any physical harm her Ling Hun Shou will still work. They are universally powerful on all opponents. What she can do to a middle aged man with no knowledge of combat, she can do the the most masterful fighter or the most powerful of super beings. They can all be used in conjuntion with eachother to make the effects greater. So not only can she combine several techniques to achieve a certain effect on the opponent but she can also continue to reapply them debuffs for an even greater effect.
>Cons: Some of her techniques will have a weakened effect on certain foes. And those foes are primarily mechanical in nature or are undead, as they don't have nerves and internal organs or don't rely on them. Some of her techniques have no effect at all on certain opponents. And those foes are primarily creatures without a soul or spirit, do not use energy at all and/or have no actual innards. If I could make an examble, I'd say an animated statue which contains no innards(as it's made of stone or metal entirely) requires no power source and has no spirit.

--Fighting: Being a defener, she has no primary means of protecting herself like the other three so she's dipped into the Fighting pool. This is so when she gets into melee range to attack and debuff, she isn't entirely helpless. She's actually more resilient than Ian but less capible of dodging. She also uses street fighting(which is covered by Boxing and Kick) like scratching, dirt in the eye, groin kick, etc.

After dragging the boy to the small river south of the dojo, Lei sat him near its edge. “Okay, just drink some water and relax. Eventually that technique’s effects will wear off.”

Ian sank his head down and lapped up water but he was anything but relaxed. “You haven’t won yet,” Ian said begrudgingly, “Just because you surprised me with some dumb trick this time doesn’t mean you’ll do it again. You haven’t seen what I can do and when I-GLOOOUHG!”

Lei had interrupted his rant and booted Ian into the river head first. “Why don’t you just relax like I told you? If you want your scrawny body to stop working against itself you’ll do what I say or else you’ll be like this all day.”

Ian sat up in the water and resembled a wet abandoned puppy as he frowned at his reflection. “It’s not working,” Ian whined, shivering in the cool river.

Lei audibly growled and let her soft black hair flutter in front of her eyes. Could this guy really be the student Master Cheng was worried about? Lei angrily pushed the hair behind her ear and leaned forward to pull Ian back out. After resting Ian on the bank, she scooped up more water and fed it to the half paralyzed Ian.

“I think it’s....getting worse,” Ian groaned sitting in a hunched over position.

“Uhg, fine I’ll see what else I can do,” Lei huffed and moved behind Ian. She rested her hands on his shoulders and began applying pressure. With her thumbs rested on Ian’s shoulder blades, Lei closed her eyes and forced her thumbs forward.

Ian arched his back in agony. “AAIIIEE!...”escaped his lips before he grit his teeth together. Lei pulled his shoulders back, with her knee held between his should blades and she held this for a few seconds before pushing him away. Ian fell face first into the dirt releasing heavy breaths and moaning in what might have been anguish or relief, it was too difficult to tell which.

After about a minute, he pushed himself up to his knees and examined his arms. “I think that worked....what did you do?” he asked her.

“Just a little relaxation trick using pressure points. I actually used one in the lower back to-”

“No! I mean that dirty trick you used on me during that fight. I would have won if you had played fair!” His face was veiled in anger at Lei.

Lei was really beginning to hate this Ian boy and was ready to sock him in the face. “You’re just mad because you couldn’t hit me with your dumb techniques,” she scowled right back to him. At first, Lei thought she hurt Ian’s feelings because now he was hunched over the water quietly. When she moved closer to apologize, Ian swung his arm out to the side. Water danced around his arm then spun quickly from his hand. Lei was mesmerized by the small spout of dancing water until it redirected itself and slashed her in the face.

She coughed and spat up the attack after falling backwards of course. Ian began to laugh, “That was for pushing me into the river.” Lei got up and prepared to blast Ian in the face with her fist but the boy leapt into the river, or rather on top of it. “Heh, come and get me if you dare.”

Lei looked on in amazement as this boy stood on the waters surface. “How did you do that?” she asked having forgot about the water he had splashed in her face.

“I’m not telling you,” Ian answered and kneeled lower. He pulled one hand up to his chest to form a simple hand sign while hovering the other hand over the surface as if grabbing something. He began pulling up his hand to form a long blob of water and was prepared to do something with it when...

“Ian!” came his teacher’s voice. Ryjuta was standing on the roof and could see the whole thing. Ian froze, knowing he was caught. Ryjuta pointed a finger out to the boy and water began swirling up around him. All at once, the water surged and forced him into the river and he struggled helplessly as the current pulled him.

In less than a blink of an eye, Ryjuta dropped next to Lei. “There’s a waterfall on the otherside of that hill. You might want to help him out before he falls over it,” the master swordsman said to her. She was still amazed at how he had gotten to her side so quick. “Your training together starts tomorrow so you can leave for the day. And I’d really appreciate it if you showed Ian around and became friends. Once you get to know him, he’s much less impulsive and annoying.” The man ended with a smile and seemingly vanished.

Is he just super fast?

The next day, after her breakfast, doing her morning lessons before her parents went to work and picking up a few things from the market for dinner later that night, Lei was off to her training. Today was the day the new student would arrive and even though she never would want to admit it, Lei was infatuated with Fen’s story. Every now and then, she would imagine this new student as a handsome boy, like Dong Hai or others around town, big and muscular and very skilled. At this point, she wouldn’t mind so much losing to such a person if she could become friends or even more. Uhg, why am I even thinking about such useless things.....it’s all Fen’s fault...all she thinks about now is boys.

When the training grounds were in sight, she was expecting to see Master Cheng attending to his garden just inside of the forested area but he was not. “Oh boy! Sensei’s friend must have gotten here early.” Lei began sprinting.

She slid the front door open as quick as she could, a look of excitement in her eyes. Sitting near the window so they could enjoy the early afternoon sun and savoring some tea was her teacher and two strangers. “Ah, Jing Lei. I’m glad you got here early. This is an old friend of mine, Ryjuta Ishikawa. He’s from Japan and is one of the most masterful fighters I’ve ever met,” said Master Cheng as he motioned to a man who looked rather young compared to her teacher but he still had strands of grey in his hair which was pulled back and braided into a pony tail. Under his loose green and blue silk robes were thick muscles and at his side was a long and straight katana, sheathed of course.

“And this is his student, Ian Kelly. He will be the one you are training with.” Her teacher motioned to the other stranger. He was nothing like she expected, who seemed her age but he was slightly shorter, was pretty scrawny(even compared to herself) and looked like he was American. Ian was lying on his side and rested his head on an arm looking very bored. When he saw Lei walked in, he gave off a look of anger and disappointment.

“Good afternoon, Jing Lei. I’ve heard much about your skills. Your teacher has taught you well. I’m sure there is much-” greeted Ryjuta before being cut off by his student.

“I have to fight a girl!?" Ian whined, pushing himself up on one arm. “I could probably beat her with my bokken....”

“Is that so?” Master Cheng smiled. “Maybe you should have a friendly spar to demonstrate your impressive skills, Ian.”

“Okay, fine by me,” Ian replied with a cocky grin and drawing his wooden sword to face Lei.

“This is who you were worried about, Master Cheng? He's just a little runt,” Lei said with a bit of spite. “What should I beat him with? Wing Chun? Tae Kwondo? Judo?”

“How about Tai Chi Chuan? I believe you need some attention on that style,” her teacher responded casually.

The two backed into the open area of the training building and bowed to each other. “Girls should be playing with dolls,” Ian mumbled to his female opponent when they were close during the bow.

“And I guess boys shouldn’t get their butts kicked by girls that play with dolls,” she mumbled back and they both took defensive stances, Lei with her hands and Ian with his wooden practice sword.

“I’d like to see your Ling Hun Shou techniques,” Ryjuta said before they could begin. “Try one on Ian but don’t hurt him too much,” he added with a laugh.

“Teacher! You have too little confidence in me. If she can use her techniques, I’ll use mine,” Ian replied angrily to his teacher and charged at the girl with a strike to her shoulder.

“Sure....if you think you can,” Ryjuta said as he watched the first attack.

Without much effort, Lei blocked the bokken strike with a fist and countered with a strong palm to Ian’s chin. Ian pulled his upper body back to dodge Lei’s palm thrust and swiped at the girl’s arm. She ducked under the strike but Ian followed through with a swing in the other direction. This time, Lei caught the sword and smacked Ian’s exposed abdomen with her other palm. “Cobra Strike!” she said with a smile which sent Ian staggering back, his head swaying. This technique she gained through her meditations but was still perfecting its use although it was enough in this instance. It sent a burst of her spirit energy to reverberate the enemy’s spirit, simulating extreme dizziness. Ian was seeing triple and could barely orient himself so Lei followed up with another attack. “Tiger’s Claw!” She made a claw with her hand and struck out at the boy. Ian could only see three girls attacking so barely managed to evade her attack but it did still hit him in the shoulder.

“Ah! What’s....going on!?” Ian shouted releasing his bokken and holding his arms. His muscles began to convulse and tighten. He found he could barely move at all for the pure fact that any time he moved one muscle, the muscle responsible for the opposite movement contracted against the other.

“So weak,” she smirked and finished the fight with a palm plus forearm strike to Ian’s torso, sending him flying to the ground.

“Okay, enough,” Cheng said to stop the fight. “Go ahead and help Ian outside. Some water should do him good.”

Reluctantly, Lei bowed and moved to pick up Ian. She was rather surprised when Ian smacked her hand away and slowly pushed himself to his feet. “I don’t....think so...” He was gritting his teeth in pain with his struggle over his own body.

“Enough!” Ryjuta shouted which caused Ian to lose balance and fall to the floor again. “Now, go ahead and take him to the river. He wouldn’t do a dishonorable thing and attack you again.” Ryjuta held a fierce glare at Ian which the boy could feel but didn't have the courage to face. With that, Lei pulled Ian up by the arm and shoulder and dragged outside.

((Just a story of one of my more newer established characters. I wanted a chance to make up a story for her, mainly for myself.))

“Jing Lei, you have to make sure you maintain your stance while you defend,” said Master Cheng to his main pupil. This martial arts master had a few students that he kept up with, but continued to teach this strange black haired,dark eyed girl who he met as a small child who had a strange affinity for unarmed combat.

“Keeping this dumb stance only limits my ability to defend,” Lei responded angrily as she tried blocking the quick palm strikes of her teacher. The 12 year old girl skillfully struck away her sensei’s palm strikes with her own but soon broke stance again and mixed in more kicks.

The old master, with his many wrinkles and nearly bald head, easily countered Lei’s kick by grabbing her ankle and with little effort tossed her aside. “We are working on your defense, which is sorely in need of work.” Cheng said with a disappointed sway of his head.

“Why? I’m good enough. I can defend myself against you and you said you’re a martial arts master.”

Master Cheng walked away from the girl, his ordinary looking brown martial arts robes swaying in the wind that wisped around the trees of the lightly forested area around his dojo. “It’s because I want you to be proud of your skills. I don’t want you to end up embarrassed and giving up on all your training.” Jing Lei quirked her head to the side, wondering what he was talking about. “Someone new will be visiting to train with us. It will be the pupil of a friend of mine so I want you to be at peak performance.”

Lei froze, almost in fear. Was this new person that good to make sensei worried? Would this person totally outclass me or something?... “I want you to focus on your spirit training and anatomy points for a few hours and then you can leave,” the elderly teacher said as he walked away, “Another of those soul hand techniques might reveal itself today. I’ll be inside with the other students if you need me.”

This person can’t be any good. The person is probably no better than the others here....I should stop worrying about it. Jing Lei finally dismissed the thoughts and sat down in the grass to began meditating. As her mind freed itself, she traveled to the place in her thoughts she always goes to during meditation. It was like the world we live in but in the past. It was through the eyes of someone, someone with great skill. This person was some kind of powerful sage with great knowledge of the spirit and she would see glimpses of his life and grasp bits of information. Sometimes it would reveal a means of using her spirit to perform some kind of ability, other times she would just retain the memories of this odd person who seemed distant.

This time, Jing Lei only saw memories that she had seen previously so went straight to her anatomy study. As the other students sparred, she was in the corner staring fervorently at a life-sized cloth dummy with various parts of it divided by dotted lines and a few hundred dots indicating a pressure point. After an hour of setting the areas and points to memory, she systematically struck at each point then repeated this for another hour.

By the time she was done, the other students began to clean the dojo like they often did after intense training. “See you later Master Cheng. Later guys, don’t burn yourselves out on cleaning now,” Lei said jokingly to the group of students which were all her age or older. They all laughed and waved goodbye to her as she sprinted out of the door and off of the training grounds.

She finally reached her home, a run down, old apartment building in the heart of the slums of a small city in China. Her and her family were poor and she couldn’t afford to attend normal school so she was home schooled by her father which is what she would normally be off to do but both her parents were busy at work. So instead of home work, Lei would be hanging out with friends....well, friend. Lan Fen was her three years older, taller, more developed and far more feminine friend who Jing Lei related to somehow even though they were complete opposites.

“So how did your training go today? Did you see Dong Hai? Did he ask about me?” Fen cooed as she brushed her hair in the mirror of her room.

“No, I wasn’t paying attention. Why?” Lei asked while quietly watching her friend working her gorgeous long black hair with much care.

“Why!? He’s the coolest, strongest and cutest boy in town! I talked with him last week at the market and....oooh!” The teen fell backward to the floor and squeezed the brush she was using to her breast, as if it was the boy she fantasied about.

“Well....he’s not really strong at all....I can beat him in a match without even trying,” Lei said with a blank stare.

Fen broke away from her daydream with an angry eye and continued brushing her hair. “Okay, Ms. Tomboy. What did you do today? Wrestle some bears? Beat up more boys?”

Lei stopped and stared at the ceiling while pulling the small strands of her hair that fell about shoulder length. “Nothing really. Just more training....but sensei was a bit worry about a new student that will be coming soon. I guess he thinks this new person will overshadow my skills.”

“What if it’s a really cute boy that could beat you? Would you take him to the spring festival or be all angry with him?” Fen asked, turning to Lei with a serious look on her face.

“Why do you think it would be a boy? It’s probably another girl....she might-”

“Oh stop it. I can already see it now. It will be a nice, polite boy that will easily defeat you. You’ll be sad and cry at your defeat and he will kneel next to you and comfort you. Then, he’ll ask you to go to the spring festival and during the late night fireworks, under a big tree you both will-”

Lei was getting angry with Fen’s prediction and stomped her foot. “I would never cry! And I would never let some boy beat me!” Lei stormed out of her friends room and retreated back to her own home to study without her father although now her focus was divided on the next day’s new arrival.

Watching the fight, Fuijin saw the white dust storm center on one of her ninja. With a very small wave of her fan, a powerful barrier of wind swirled around all three tengu ninja, easily tossing the dust cloud away and toward Archlich’s allies.

Then a bolt of magical energy homed in on Fuijin herself. With a slight movement of her hand, she vanished in a cloud of feathers and reappeared a good distance from Archlich. “Are you challenging me?” she said with a smile.

The barriers of wind would have blocked Hal’s blasts of light if the barriers were still there. The energy blasts smashed them squarely in the back, and knocked them both to the ground. Sunako, began pushing himself to his feet but Namikaze stayed down. Apparently, the toxins within him were still working against him.

((I’ll just take liberties here and say Ess and Ian finally arrived.))

Finally arriving on the scene, Ian saw the battle ensue only to be frozen in fear. He could barely take another step toward the battle and he was visibly shaking.

((Well, welcome to the RP boards! I doubt I'll be able to join your RP cause I'm in too many already but feel free to join in the other threads. Oh, and welcome again .

((...so, how does the Grand Master react to the fog and provocation?))

Yeah, I'm going with Prodiguy here. SJ just seems more 'grappling hook/glide' while fly is just....I guess it would work if you only used fly from a high place.

“Okay, let’s finish this,” Sunako said in his gritty voice. All three of them drew their swords and leapt at the attackers, the grass caltrops bending at their feet due to their special wind powers. Andrew’s attack seemed to be right on its mark until it got close. His weapon met some kind of force which directed it off and missed Akikaze entirely who followed up with a slash from his katana. "Give us that bag!" the ninja demanded.

The phantasm’s blasts of light dissipated across the same force and made the barriers visible as the light faded. Sunako charged at the being of light with Namikaze following. Nami slashed the air with his blade which sent searing wind edges flying at the phantasm with Sunako following up with a lateral strike. If the phantom couldn’t react quickly, Namikaze would continue the attack with an aerial vertical slash.

Up on the limb of a tree, Fuijin watched the battle, her war fan drawn up to her face.

((*sniff* *sniff* Everyone's forgotten about my thread......

You know, I just had a severe case of deja vu when I typed that first line and it wasn't because of you guys....Everything that was happening while I typed it seemed to have happened in my mind already and the only thing that broke it was typing about it....You guys get those kinds of feelings often ?))

“Fine,” Yuri said, rising to her feet and taking the field once again. “I suppose there’s no attacking the opposing team either,” she said, pulling her leg up high to stretch it while balancing on her other.((She had put her clothes back on on the way up to the field.))

“Interesting exercise,” Yuri said, “Call me when you’re done. I’ll be waiting over here,” she called back as she evacuated the field. “If someone gets hurt I should be able to take care of it.” Yuri then sat herself on the sidelines and watched the rest play.

<Leeksoup>(Sorry I've been gone for a bit. My internet's been down. Also, cool! I have a bag full of magic demon tech!))

Andrew stiffened when he realized the demons saw him. Before he could whip his sword into shape, the grass caltrops and fist-shaped air were coming at him. He fired a burst from his boosters on his ankles, trying to dodge into the air. ((Okay, now this is assuming I succeeded in dodging.)) He did a spin, firing his boosters once more to propel him towards the caltrops-thrower. As he sped towards the demon, he pulled his belt, snapped it into the shape of his liuyedao and held it in the Wading Crane position. It left his side open for an attack, but it would do a lot of damage if it hit, especially propelled by his boosters.
((Okay, so, here's the deal with the boosters. They're supposed to be CJ on steiroids, not as much as SJ, but higher than normal CJ. They have a set amount of fuel, too, so eventually unless Andrew can refuel I'll be having him run out of fuel.))

“Uhg!” Yuri sighed, “I can’t be wasting energy on useless games. If I have to grow my own food, I’ll have to scavenge for at least a week before I grow anything and with what little energy I have I need to conserve for the real training.” Although disapproving of the whole situation, she pulled her clothes from the branches and left toward this field without waiting for another word. Her clothes were still damp so she just carried them.

Anyone here read the Chronicles of Narnia when they were younger? I was a fan of that series in 5th and 6th grade and after seeing the movie, I went out and bought the books so I could reread them. I based Ian's general personality on my favorite character in the book series. Can you guess who?

.....Give up?

It was that scrappy sharp-tongued talking mouse with the rapier and a plume behind his ear, Reepicheep. He's honor bound and demands respect dispite his size. He's afraid of nothing and never backs away from a challenge. It just so happens that I joined in SH101 not long after that movie released, if my memory serves me right.

"Ah...." Essex blinked at Linn, and then looked to Ian apologetically. "I'm terribly sorry if it's an inconvenience." she said with a bob of her head.

[/ QUOTE ]

“....yes, I’m sure you are,” Linn said emotionlessly then retreated up the stairs.

Ian turned and waited for him to get out of sight and turned back to the android. “Don’t worry about it. It’s....my fault really....” he paused for a while, staring at the polished floors.

"Um, Hallucinogen just contacted me. It seems that Sir Archlich is here...in the guise of the Silver Knight from earlier. He is following him."

[/ QUOTE ]

“Hmm...Archlich? I hope he won’t cause any problems but if they’re all in one place, I can ask them all at once if they’d like to stay a while.” Ian had no clue why they’d want to stay but there wouldn’t be any harm in asking.

[ QUOTE ]
"...Oh, Ian..." Essex worried. "What if whoever did this is still here? We could all be in terrible danger..."

[/ QUOTE ]

He audibly gulped at her words and grew pale again. “.....yeah..” is all he could say. “Let’s find the others. It’s getting late,” he said to change the subject and opened the front door for her.

~~

Archlich managed to get quite close, enough to seem them far more easily than at a distance, so he could distinguish the colors of their skins and their clan colors. “Just be quick about it,” Fuijin said with a dismissive hand gesture, “If we return with this job only half finished, she’ll have my head.”

Being so close, one could tell the group of ninja were slightly distracted; Fuijin with her back turned, Sunako sitting in the grass rubbing his forehead, Akikaze pleading with their female leader and Namikaze entranced by the beauty of their leader. It was only a short time before Archlich and company’s presence was sensed by the leader. “What was that?” she wondered, her head perking up as she looked about.

Although Archlich and Hallucinogen were invisible, Andrew was not. Andrew didn’t follow behind the group and stayed behind but his presence was still sensed from where he was. “That’s the android that attacked us along with his little group,” Sunako said, rising to his feet.

Fuijin clasped her hands together and vanished in a flurry of feathers. Akikaze stretched his hand toward the android. His fingers were rigid, in a claw shape. “Grass Caltrops!” He pulled up his claw hand and the grass around Andrew, reaching out far enough to encompass everyone else, wafted in the wind for an instant before they became stiff and sharp to cut and slow the android and company.

“Howling Fist!” Namikaze announced as he punched at the air, sending a huge forceful ball of wind in Andrew’s direction.

((I'm guessing 2.0 fell slightly behind so wasn't in range of sight to be attacked.))

Maybe so...I think my AIM is broken ;_;

Tell us what to get then ;_;

I got a BB gun for Christmas when I was twelve. I likes shooting cans but when by step-dad started shooting at birds and squirrels with it I hid the gun in the attic .

Heh, well I just got AIM Pro...dunno if that's good or not. Anyway, my screen name is Leogunblade(can you believe Leogunner was taken?) It'll be fun to chat .
