Chapter 7 War, War never changes part 7

=He removes his hand=

We should prepare.

=He heads off to the Pelican he came in on=

(Dormii)
=i follow him=
Hey, think I should use the new armor in my fight with Rain? Help him train? You know, "Fight off your hopelessness. Steel yourself from insanity. Hold back your destruction. Fight your way out of despair" or something similar.

=He nods=

That sounds perfect.
However. This match will be standard.
No armor.
Just you, your fists, and your blades.

=He shrugs=

Work our way up

=They board the Pelican and lift off to the Trophaeum=

(Dormii)
Me and a blade? Don't know if that'd be fair.

=He shakes his head=

He will have his Katars of course.
And I know what you mean.

=They land in the Trophaeum's hanger=
=He opens the back and steps out=

Let us find my idiot.

(Dormii)
=i call out, jokingly=
Oh idiot. Here idiot. Come 'ere boy.

=He chuckles=

I would not be surprised if he answered.

=He begins walking to the pool room=

He will most likely be in the pool

(Dormii)
Probably with Talfie. Knowing him and her.

=i look around=

...

(Dante)

Most likely

=He sighs=

(Rain)

=I look down to her=

Well, hey there.

=I smile=

=i look up at him=

(Dormii)
=we get to the pool=
Well, let's find out, shall we?

=i open the door and walk in=

(Dante)

=He looks around seeing Rain and Talfie=
=Talfie with no top=
=He shakes his head=

Kris, you have training.

(Rain)

=I sigh=

Alright...

=I look back to her=

Ill see ya later.

=I pull away and get out of the pool=

=i hod my top up=

=i use my umbrella to cover my chest=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle. to Talfie=
We'll get you a new one, don't you worry.

(Rain)

=I wave and head off to my room=

(Dante)

=He nods to her and heads off to the hanger=

(Dormii)
Sorry, Talfie. Got training to do.

=i smile apologetically and leave, heading for the hanger=


(Lana)
Hey...you awake?

=i raise an eyebrow=

Scythe:

(night guys)

(Rain)

=I change into mt combat clothing and head to the hanger=

(Dante)

=He arrives at the hanger and boards a transport=

(Dormii)
=i get into the transport with Draco=
I'm all set.

(Rain)

=I enter the Pelican and sit across from Dormii=

Set...

=I remove my arm from my sling. Still a bit weak=

(Dante)

=He starts up the Pelican and heads off to Transcending Soul, instead of Repent=

(Dormii)
So, what are the rules to this fight?

(Dante)

First one to say I quit

(Rain)

=I look at Dormii=

Great...

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
Okay. I can work with that.

=He lands the Pelican into the hanger and opens the back=
=He heads off to the observation room=

A nice change of scenery is always good

=He nods to the soldiers=

(Dormii)
=i get out and follow Draco=
So, where is this fight going to take place?

(Dante)

An area.
You are too curious Dormii

=He laughs=

The set up in here is the same as Repent

=They come across a fork=
=He points left=

Locker rooms.

=He points right=

Observation

(Rain)

=I had been tailing the two and went to the left=

(Dormii)
=i laugh=
I knew it. You are throwing in a few twists.

=i head off to the locker rooms=

(Dante)

=He chuckles=

Is it that obvious.

=He enters the observation room and takes a seat=

(Rain)

=I sit down on a bench and wait for the pad to update=

(Dormii)
=i take off my Spartan armor. i stand there in my shirt and pants, waiting=

=checks on the ships repairs=

=He updates the pads=

Code:

One Versus One. Normal Gravity. No weapons except knives or blades. First one to say "I quit" is the loser. Watch for changes

(Rain)

=I take the pad=

Hmm...

Interesting....

(Miranda)
=I was on the Serenity for a bit, before I decided to head down to the planet for some freash air=

(Dormii)
=i look at the pad. I decide to take my shirt off, for more freedom of movement. I go over to the weapon locker and take out another knife and sheathe. I attach this on to my wrist. I wait for it to start=

(Jason)
=I had walked onto the bridge of the ship, and took the elevator down to the crew deck. When I got off, no one was there=

(Rain)

=I grab my Katars and stand=

(Dante)

=He speaks into the microphone=

To your stations

(Rain)

=I head out the door onto one side=

(Dormii)
=i walk into the arena and go to my spot. I wait=

(Miranda)
=Before I had left, I put on some warm clothes, and brought some water. Then, I took the lift down to the surface=

(Jason)
=I headed down to engineering. I had to find Miri. We needed to talk. When I walked in though, I found Gabby and Kenny working=

(Gabby)
=I was working on the engines, and talking with Kenny=

Engines are good to go. I rebalanced the Gillbourne coefficiants and adjusted the anterior intakes on the second tier stabalizers.

(Kenny)
=I grinned=

I love it when you talk dirty.

*Ward, Lance, Nolan, and Marines*

Lance - NO! Stay with us Ward!

Ward - Uggggh.

=Lance pulls Ward to cover=

Lance - Is anyone a Medic?

Marine - I am sir, He looks fine, just a bit, You know, Shooken.

Lance - Lets get him to the Vulture

Marine - Yes sir.

Nolan - We are on the rooftop. It looks like there is a tower a building away. If we get there we can see the whole base.

=They get to the tower=

Nolan - There are two rebels on one side, two on the other, One is reloading an RPG, Marines, I would get out of there. The warthogs are shooting at something. It looks like 25+ rebels. Next to the warthogs are some marines. Behind us are the falcons with Black aces. I'll comm them for support.

=Nolan comms Black aces=

Nolan - This is Nolan. We need some support, Rebels with RPG's attacking, Some more on the other side of the base.

Black aces - We will help as soon as we can.

(Rain)

=I stand there. Facing down my trainer=
=I go into a stance=

Whats taking so long


=Up in the observation room=
=He had fallen asleep=

(Dormii)
=i walk over to the observation window. I unsheathe a knife and through it at the window. It hits handle first and makes a loud thunk. I catch the knife as it falls=

=i get out of the pool, change and then head to the mess hall=

(Dante)

=He wakes up, shaking his head=
=He speaks into the microphone=

My apologies.
Begin when you see fit.

(Rain)

=I stay in my stance, waiting=

(Dormii)
=i chuckle=
Thought so.

=i turn around. Using the momentum, I fling my knife at Rain. Once it leaves my hand I start running at him=

(Rain)

=I raise up my Katars, The knife flinging away=
=I run at him, full force=

(Dormii)
=i draw my second, and now only, knife and continue the sprint at him. Once I get close enough, I jump=

(Rain)

=I slide as he jumps=
=Coming back up=
=I watch him=

(Dormii)
=i land and spin, throwing my last knife at him, this time faster. I run at him again=

=i grab something to eat=

(Rain)

=I block the knife again=
=The force of the throw sending a pulse through my right arm=
=It is screaming in pain=
=I push it away and stand my ground=
