Training Time!

[theblind-bandit.livejournal.com]

Characters: Toph, Terra, Sanzo and anyone else who drops by.
Content: Toph and Terra are going to start training their earth bending.
Setting: Vanaheim area (G3)
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: Appearance of Dan



Terra had first suggested the Elysian fields, but Toph nixed that after hearing all those stories about Lumens. If they were going to train anywhere, it had to be at a place where they wouldn't be bothered. In this "grassy" place, Toph found it acceptable enough to train Terra here.

"Ok, we'll start by taking a deep breath," Toph said. She inhaled loudly, then slowly let it out. "We get ourselves centered: this is so we can take a moment to be one with the earth. We're moving it, but in a way its like a pact with the ground itself. Remember that: NEVER take your power for granted and the earth will always listen to you."

She got up and shook herself a little, extending her arms and legs. "I like to warm up a bit first, just so I don't cramp up or anything. You might wanna do the same."

Once the girls had both done this, Toph stomped softly on her left foot and a rock protruded from the ground, to which Toph promptly sat on. She was maybe two feet up from Terra, and she grinned.

"Ok Terra, show me what you can do."

Terra was pretty pumped about training. Well, she was hoping that things didn't go wrong. Not hoping; more like worrying. "Don't lose control," she kept thinking to herself as they went to the area to train.

When they got there, she did everything that Toph had told her to do. Taking in a deep breath, she began to stretch out her arms and legs -- and felt a few cracks here and there. It seemed that Terra was still sore after that fight back in her world. Despite this, she was ready for training, good as new, when she was done warming up.

"Okay. I'll do that," she said. Taking in another deep breath, she gathered her energy, her eyes glowing a faint yellow. 'Don't lose control, don't lose control...'

She brought her arm up, letting a large rock, big enough to ride on, come up, and she spread her arms out letting out a cry. The rock split in two, and both her arms went forward to shoot the rocks in a different direction. They crashed nearby, somewhere behind Toph.

Sanzo had been walking for what had seemed like ages to him. He was in the middle of one of his nicotine fits, due to trying to ration his cigarettes until he could find a store. The man was lost after leaving the hotel, which he hopped to find again when night fell.

Sanzo had also taken note to the fact that the earth seemed to be shaking and that there was quite a ruckus in the distance. So out of his boredom he ventured over to where all the noise and earth shaking was coming from.

What in the world??, he thought to himself as he saw Toph and her blonde friend. The two girls seemed to be controling the earth themselves, with just thier will. Sanzo stood in shock watching them as Toph threw rock projectiles at Terra.

Sanzo couldn't believe what he was seeing. Waiting until after Toph had finished what she was saying Sanzo walked over to the two girls "What were you two doing?" he asked out of pure couriosity, which was unnatural for Sanzo.

((ooc: i hope this is okay with you guys))

Dan's duplicate had been heading to the centre of Paixao, and had just been floating through the area when he noted two girls fighting each other with rock. Interesting... He flew down to observe, invisible to the naked eye. They seemed to be training....how cute. He frowned, remembering those times he trained with Sam and Tucker down in the Fentons' lab. He pushed away the memories. There was no reason for him to remember his past as that--that mere baby.

While the blonde-haired girl was paying attention to the other, he decided to start off with her. Still invisible, he generated a sharp, painful ectoblast in his hand, letting it loose at top speed. To anyone, that would seem like a bright green flash from the side. For this 'Terra,' she'd be in too much pain (or shock, take your pick) to really notice the flash.

Dan went intangible, allowing all the attacks to go through. Really, did they think that throwing pieces of rock at him was going to work? Did they think that simple bullets would destroy him? Humans were so naive. Dan was grateful that he had gotten rid of his humanity ten years ago. He was better off without it.

He took a good look at Sanzo, the only one who had spoken so far beyond the lines of, "Show yourself!"

"A shikigami, hmm?" he said, his lips parting in a disgusting, sinful smile. "I'm afraid you're mistaken!" And with that, he let his attack do the talking for him, letting loose the widest (but not necessarily) the strongest Ghostly Wail he could. He wanted a good range on these people, since they weren't exactly lobbed together in a chunk.

The noise should deafen them, he thought to himself. Not to mention the intense physical damage... Morbidly, memories of Dan Ghostly Wailing whole slews of the American Armed Forces into oblivion.

He stopped the Ghostly Wail and cackled.
