OOC: A character introduction, yay! No more Prime.
BIC: "Tsuuuu, kiiiii, yoooo, aaaaaa, KEEEEEE!" A beam of purple light ravaged the forest, traveling down the path of a stream and impacting against a cliff wall, the water boiling off the beam. Sin stood in stance, his right arm held forwards, his left down by his waist. Sweat slowly began to drip off his skin as he maintained the beat, every formidable muscle in his body straining the maintain the output. He green eye's slowly began to cloud over, unseeing, focusing all of his energy into the attack. His black hair was blown back, its usually spiked length unable to hold against the strength of the attack. The beam slowly began to flicker, Sin's beam slowly growing weaker as, once more, his body failed him. Finally, the beam flickered out, and he collapsed in the water.
He pulled himself upright. "No." He said, his dark voice echoing hollowly. "I won't, no." He said. "I won't give up, there are to many example of power in this world for me to give up." He pulled himself to his feet. "I won't." He said, pulling his arm back. "I won't!" He screamed. "Tsuuu! Kiii! Yooo! Aaaa! Keee!" His arm flashed forwards and the renewed beam of violet force slammed into the side of the cliff. "HaaaaaaaaaAAA!" He screamed, the beam flashing between low and high power with the rise of his anger and determination. "HAAAAAA!" The beam flash into high power, then went out and Sin fell to his knee's. "Shit, I can't...can't maintain it..." He stumbled over to his feeble fire and sat down hard. "I need, a trainer. My father can't teach more no more, now that he's pass on." He sighed, and closed his eye's for a moment. A shooting star shot past overhead, just as he made his wish.

Aurora stood watching as the young man, tried and tried again to power his beam to an acceptable level, almost reminding Aurora of himself, when he was a child growing up on his home world.
He approached, and leaned on a nearby tree in the shadows “Your strength of will will not help you with this type of power,” Aurora drawled, “You need to train your mind, and body for the strain that the power will deal on your body.” He continued, straightening himself up and walked forward, revealing himself. His blood red halo shining brightly, his red eyes gleaming, his black silk uniform completing the look.

Sin looked at the newcomer tiredly. "You...are..." He said slowly, then scrambled to his feet and bowed before Aurora. "You are Aurora! Forgive my disrespect!" He cried, touching his forhead to the ground. "Forgive me sir, but it was not my strength of will I was training. My father taught me that through the complete loss of energy, your body will cultivate and provide a greater amount. " He said. "But if this isn't the correct corse." He said slowly, "Than what do you suggest?"

“So you know me, eh?” Aurora smiled; he had been on television quite a lot recently. “Get up, you don’t have to look up to me, we are equals. And I suggest we spar.” Aurora said, as he peeled off his top, revealing his shapely chest, and two massive reddish-black chains tightening around his chest and back, he motioned for Sin to have the first move..

Sin frowned, thinking that, most likely, the two of them were far from being equal. He noted Aurora's physique and the chains on his chest as he peeled off the robe. He mentally shrugged, and took off his own shirt, as he didn't want it to get in the way. He took up a fighting stance, left arm down by his waist, right arm held aloft in front of him, open handed, two fingers pointing towards the sky. "You'll excuse me if I'm a little nervice, its not every day that one has the chance to spar with a god." He said, and, indeed, his voice was almost choked. Sin shuffled forwards a step, and went for a straight jab to the chest, followed by a power punch, he side stepped, then dropped to the ground on one leg, swiveling for a sweep, then stood up, lifting his leg high, a brought his foot down to where Aurora had (supposedly, but not likely,) landed.

Aurora smiled, and spun out the way of the two punches thrown at him, Sin proved to be fast, which was a good thing. Aurora jumped smartly over the sweep to his feet, flipping and landing behind Sin, evading his final attack. He threw a quick flurry of punches, before swinging his foot, and body round for a kick to the head.

"Shit!" Sin squeezed out, he managed to block the punches, but the kick landed square in the side of his head. He flew off, a trail of dust left out behind him, before slamming into a rock formation, shattering it into pieces. "Ouch!" He said, climbing to his feet. Aurora was waaaaay over by the stream, Sin couldn't make out his facial expression. "Well, let's see." He muttered, lifting himself off the ground with the aid of his energy. He shot forwards at high speeds, spinning for a kick to the kidneys, then three quick punches before he shot up into the sky and came back down with a blow strong enough to shatter the rock below them.

Aurora threw out his hands and caught Sin’s foot, but he didn’t manage to block it all, as he was thrown back a couple of metres, not enough to throw him to the floor, but another to wind him a little. The next three punches came fast, but Aurora knocked them away, he never had been good for hand to hand. Aurora watched as his opponent travelled to the air and then shot back down at him; Aurora lifted his hand, and muttered a few words, the air, became thick with moisture, almost ice like, slowing Sin down enough for Aurora to dodge out the way.
“Well, you can use hand to hand, but can you use a sword?” Aurora asked, motioning next to where Sin stood, a sword, imbued with fire was impaled into the ground next to him. Aurora lifted his hand, and his katana, Odinthrana materialised from no where. “Shall we begin?”

"Oh I know all to well of imbued weapons." Sin said, remembering the Ice Brand which his father had used to punish his failures. He took up the fire sword, and flooded it with his energy, causing its aura to flare up to something the likes of a bon fire. The longsword felt good in his hands, he shot forwards on foot, bring the blade around in a complex array of patterns that his mother had taught him, being something along the lines of a blademaster in whatever world she'd origionated from, his father had never told him, and he could never hear his mothers voice. Which is why he had come to call the style the Voiceless Sword. The blade left afterimages of bright light in his eye's, but he ignored them, instead focusing on his sixth sense to zero in on Aurora's position and inclination. "Its been a long time since I held a blade that hasn't shattered immidiately from such a pounding." He said.

“My blades are all good quality.” Aurora said, as he lifted Odinthrana, “Like this one, cannot be broken, can slow time itself, my favourite blade, a present from my fiancé.” Aurora explained.
Without warning his shot forward, his image blurring as he circled around Sin, he stopped, slashing down, attempting to cleave Sin in two, before adding a powerful cross slash into the mix.
“We now begin your real training.” Aurora shouted.

"Ok!" He said, whipping the blade around behind him, as though sheathing it, then spun around with a burning cross slash himself. He tossed the blade into his left hand, and brought his right down to waist level. "TSU! KI! YO! A! KE!" He yelled, the purple beam lancing out towards Aurora. Sin cut the beam, letting it travel in on its own, and flew in beside it, cross cutting the the flame blade. "Then no holding back!" Sin yelled.

Aurora’s hands were a blur as he blocked the first attack easily, he had just been told not to hold back, Aurora liked that idea. He swung his blade down at the beam, cutting it in half, it shot of past him on both sides, impacting with tree’s and rocks blowing them apart, he again knocked a cross slash away and backed up a little to assess the situation.
“No holding back, as you wish,” Aurora ran towards Sin, but at the last moment teleported, a signature move for Aurora, luring the enemy into the wrong kind of defence, leaving them open, from behind. And of course, he reappeared behind Sin, his blade slashing at the small of his back, he followed through with another slash, this time to the back of his neck.

Sin cursed, jumping away. The first slash missed him, but the second managed to put a gash in both of his calves. He flipped and landed behind Aurora, his sword flashing in with a stab. He twisted it to the side, and spun for a cross slash, then jumped off the ground and hovered several meters in the air, aware that he was more maneuverable there. He threw the sword into the ground, and took careful aim. "Tsu! Ki! Yo! A! Ke!" He yelled, the purple beam once again lancing out, but this time down at the sword. The sword began to glow with purple flame, slowly overloading with power, until finally it could no longer contain the power, and the flame burst out in all directions, burning the grass and leaving black burn marks on the tree's.

Aurora, dodged out the way of the stab, and ducked the cross slash, before jumping away again, watching Sin to see what he would do. He was slightly surprised when the explosion of fire came at him, but it didn’t stop him being ready, Aurora swung his sword down, it impacting hard with the ground, an of explosion of ice covered the flames and stopped the attack.
“Playing with the magics eh?” Aurora laughed, “I can do that too.” And he did, he thrust his hand forward, a three separate beams of ice fired from it, all heading towards Sin.

Sin held his hand forwards, focusing for a moment. "HA!" He yelled, a purple force screen momentarily flared into existance, eliminating two of the beams, but the third was to slow, and by passed the force screen, it flew into his left arm, cutting it to ribbons. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Sin screamed, he fell to the ground and propped himself up with the sword. "Shit, that fucking hurt." He growled, the wounds slowly began to close over, healing before his eye's. He flexed his arm slowly, sometimes the pain didn't go away completely, but it seemed alright now. "Ok, that's better." He turned towards Aurora. "TSUUUUUU, KIIIIIIIII, YOOOOOOO, AAAAAAAA, KEEEEEEE!" He yelled, slowly charging the beam in power before unleashing it. It barreled across the ground with the appetite of a dragon, its only desire to consume.

Aurora, jumped high into the air, he his body spinning, his halo gaining light, it flashed, then beamed out in pure white light, a massive beam of energy fired out of straight into the attack, stopping it, but exploding at the same time.
“Holy I command thee,” Aurora muttered as he held out both hands and concentrated, a glowing orb appeared in his palms, and it slowly grew, its white light shining and blinding anyone who looked into it. When Aurora was satisfied, he threw it, a massive orb now, straight at Sin.

Sin waisted no time, but flew up several hundred meters into the air the avoid the giant ball of holy energy. It exploded below him, knocking him off balance before he caught himself, thankfully just before hitting the ground. "Dammit." He flung the fire off his sword at Aurora, then following it with a quick jab, and several slashes, followed by a cresent kick to the head.

OOC: This a private topic, or can somebody else jump in? I want to try out my moderately recent power up from the Divine Dragon hunt with Zebby some time, but I can find somewhere else if you want me to. Don't feel pressured by me.

OOC: Your welcome to jump in, of corse, but I should probably point out that Sin is a total pussy, so it's not like he'd challenge you much. Aurora would be a better bet, of corse. Accept try not to start centering this around Zeb and Aurora, I want to get some training in to. I'm not gonna go Super Saijin in one topic, but a moderate increase would be welcome. As well as being able to form some bonds with the other characters. I'd like a storyline with some real interaction, instead of making shit up as I go along eh?

Aurora quickly threw a ball of ice from his still outstretched hand to quench the fire, and braced him self for the follow up, he dodged to the side of the jab and brought his own sword down on Sin’s, plunging it into the ground, and bounced backwards on his feet, ready for what was about to be thrown at him next.
Sin came at him fast with slash’s all parried or dodged by Aurora, but the kick caught him by surprise landing neatly on the side of his head, he was sent to the ground, he rolled as he hit it straight, lessening the impact, it still hurt though, shaking his head Aurora raised his sword.
“Shiva, vado,” Aurora called, his sword burst into life, it glowed a sudden blue and then erupting in icy flames. He ran at Sin, again his image blurring from anyone that might be watching, then with his sword in a blur of motion he, slashed once, then twice, then a third time at Sin, following through with several jabs.

All three icy slashes hit Sin in the chest, a quick crust of ice covering and sealing the wounds. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Sin yelled, falling to the ground. Luckily for him, Aurora's jabs had impacted on his own ice, leaving Sin free of grevous injury. He hit the ground hard, and the fire sword flew out of his hand. He looked at the wounds on his chest, hands trembling. His regenerative powers wouldn't work well on magical wounds like these, inflicted by such a powerful object. He silently thanked his ancestors that they'd been frozen over, preventing blood loss. Those his breath was visibly steaming on the air as his chest cooled. "A little help?" He asked.

Aurora bent over his quickly, his hand waved towards where he had tossed his robe and with a wave of his hand it was summoned over to him, he rummaged through the pockets for a second and he produced a blue gem.
“Hold this, quickly.” He added, forcing it into Sin’s hands he knew he didn’t have long, the ice would melt soon. He backed up a little and closed his hands, muttering Latin under his breath. The gem glowed blue for a second, and covered Sin in a bright light. Aurora’s native magic set to work, melting the ice and knitting the wound back to how it was originally in a second. The light faded, having done its job. Aurora took it back.
“Lesson number one, pain, you need to feel to proceed.” Aurora stated, holding his hand out for Sin, to help him up.

"Then let there be pain." Zebedee muttered from off to the side. He was certain the other two had noticed him at some point. He had been cloaked nearby, but both beings obviously had enhanced senses. One resembled his old acquaitance, Aurora. Probably him, just with a few changes since they last met. The other one was totally alien to him. Probably somebody who had trained in private up to this point.
"Mind if I join in? I haven't had a good brawl in ages." Zebedee let his solar aura appear, surrounding him in a blossom of light. He looked at his wrists, the skin flickering and revealing that each one was heavily bandaged. He began unwinding the bandages, a small ammount of blood trickling to the ground as he undammed the flow. He held up his left wrist, inspecting the stigmata that passed clear through his wrist and out the other side. "Excuse the bleeding. I find it easier to handle holy energy with these things out." He smiled slyly, and gestured, brilliant lights shining out of either wound.

"Pain, well, nothing new here. But its not often then you get your chest slashed open...and frozen on top of that." He said shakily. "And its also not often that you spar with someone who could rightly veiw you as a doll." He blinked as Zebedee made himself known. "Ouch, hey, would you mind turning down the light level a little bit? I pefer dim myself, especially during the night time eh?" He said, eyeing Zebedee's wounds. "I've always wondered why you don't bleed to death." He said slowly, getting to his feet. He shrugged, and turned towards Aurora. "I think now would be the time for me to...vacate to minimum safe distance. The sparring matches between denezins of cherrygrove are actually classified as natural disasters, and insurance companies refuse to even give rates for coverage." Dust and dirt swirled around his feet for a moment, and then Sin shot off into the sky, to what he hoped was a safe distance from the two.
Who knew, he might learn something from watching the two of them.

Aurora pivoted around on one foot to face the newcomer, Zebedee. He hadn’t seen him in awhile, well not since before he had been imprisoned. Aurora smirked, Zebedee wanted to brawl, a challenge sure, but fun in his eyes.
“Nice to see you again, Zebedee. How have you been?” Aurora asked, “You can join in if you wish, but I don’t believe Sin up there would want to come near us if we fight.” Aurora chuckled, saluting to Sin who was now high up in the air.
“You may have the first move.”

Zebedee glanced at his wrists, smiling vaguely. "The Lord works in mysterious ways, eh?" He gestured, his racquet forming in his hands and gleaming with an ethereal light. He flipped his hair out of his eyes, adjusted his glasses, and jumped into the air. He vanished in a cloud of sparks, and there was a loud blast from behind Aurora. Evidently just an explosion of large scale air displacement. No damage to anybody, probably just a distraction of some sort.
Clouds of dust flew up from the ground on all sides, obscuring sight. Three Zebedees appeared, all lunging in at once. They harmlessly disappeared in a cloud of sparks, and the dust clouds all fell to the earth once more. Zebedee stood at the far side of the battlefield, twirling his racquet effortlessly. "Once I learned to use illusions with my feather, I found them to be almost addicting. Force people to constantly second guess everything. It's the ultimate enhancement to my combat style." Zebedee grinned widely. "Watch your flank. Or don't. It's your call."
