Training Ring 5

[Jim Van]

A room of Normal panels housed a Normal Navi.

[Syn]

Suddenly, a flash of light filled the area: a new navigator just warped in. Once inside, he proceeded to stretch, then walked toward the Normal Navi.

"Hey... You the guy in charge here?" He asked, keeping his hand close enough to the holster on his back that housed his blade.

Syn was ready to prove his worth, so he waited for a response.

[Jim Van]

"Yes." He said. Though unseen to Syn right now, a Kanji was etched into his back. Its meaning was "Amorphous".

[Syn]

~BATTLE MODE ACTIVE~
HP: 500
Dodge: 2
Block: 2

"Right..."

Without further ado, Syn ran toward the enemy, and once by his back, he slashed one of his blades upward, and thrusted the second one toward the same area.

(-(Weapon - Dual Attack - 50 Dmg x 2)-)

[Jim Van]

The Navi's eyes flashed and he morphed into Syn, taking his current form and blade form, he blocked with the exact same attack, then morphed into a pixelized being who unleashed a wave.

<Wave - Mega - 500>

[Syn]

HP: 500
Dodge: 1/2
Block: 2/2

Syn was caught off guard by the sudden transformation, but quickly recovered from the shock. He stood at the same spot as the Wave attack came, but the mega skill did not hit, instead completely passing through him.

(-(S-Skill - Shift - Dodge)-)

However, after the attack was completed, Syn was nowhere to be seen. A few moments later, he rematerialized behind the transforming navigator, and prepared for a counter attack. He quietly holstered his blades, and summoned two guns. A flash of light was accompanied with the weapons, as well as two energy swords that appeared on their edge. He then slashed twice, and before slashing the third time, he said:

"Copy this!"

(-(S-Skill - Rengeki - 10 Dmg x 3)-)

[Jim Van]

Two slash marks appeared on his chest, forcing him into normal form. From there, he morphed into Mettaur and used his Shockwave.

<Shockwave - Standard - 40>

He then hid beneath his helmet.

[Syn]

HP: 500
Dodge: 0/2
Block: 2/2

Syn smirked when the navigator turned into a Met. When the shockwave came, Syn simply jumped over it, not wanting to try too hard or get tired. He then grabbed both his Biosteel blades, and prepared for a stronger attack. He flung them both weapons at the enemy, making them spin on their trajectory. One they reached their area, Syn seemed to simply stay in place. A bit of data noise was present on his frame, for he had slowed down his Ping. Syn was actually approaching the enemy from his back, but he was visibly in the same spot. A few seconds later, he reappeared, and did a spinning attack on the enemy.

(-(M-Skill - Stryker - 100 Dmg + 150 Dmg)-)

[Jim Van]

The Navi quickly morphed to normal to take damage in that form, so he wasn't deleted, and morphed again. This time, he gained a color change... smashing his hand to the ground, a wooden spike would shoot up from beneath Syn.

<Wood Tower - Standard - 120>

[Syn]

HP: 380
Dodge: 2/2
Block: 2/2

Syn attempted to jump away from the attack, but since he was unable to move in time, the pillar shot up, and hit the bottom of his chin, causing a huge amount of lost HP data. Syn rubbed the blood-like data from the corner of his mouth, and then tried something new.

"WIREFRAME WHEEL!"

(-(M-Skill - Wireframe Wheel - Deceit Equipped)-)

A large amount of digital wires shot from the ground, and took the form of two energy blades. He holstered his Biosteel blades, causing them to melt away, and then grabbed both new weapon. He then dashed toward the everchanging navi, and lunged with a single blade.

(-(Weapon - Power Lunge - 80 Dmg)-)

[Jim Van]

"Battle end." In a flash, Syn was in the center of the room, and the Navi testing him in front of him. "You have passed."

Status: PASSED
Grade: 100%

"The officials are looking for recruits. They could use someone like you."

[Syn]

~BATTLE PHASE OVER~

"Heh... Thanks... But I'll pass for now."

Syn gathered the surrounding data, and formed a small ball of data, but seeing as how the enemy wasn't doing his best, he simply left the data behind.

[Jim Van]

"Now your must register as a citizen, then." He unlocked two doors. One led to Ameroupe, the other to Tokyo.

[Kaizer.EXE]

A purple beam of light flashed and fell from the heaven's, colliding with the ground a second later and creating a small cloud of debris.

Moments later, a navi wearing a black leather jacket stepped out from the haze and proceeded to scan the area, finally resting his gaze on the Normal Navi that was occupying it.

Interesting... Only a Normal Navi...? These testers much be taking easy on the newbies... Well, whatever. It doesn't make a difference to me...

"Hey, you. Are you the trainer...?"

The blue haired navi fell silent, partly because he had nothing else to say and partly because he wanted to confirm the other navi's identity before he began attacking...

[Jim Van]

"Yes, but no..." Sitting there, his body twisted and he morphed into Syn, then a short, pixelated being, and finally, his opponent! "You are." The Kanji on his back flashed and faded into his new form, as he began reading Kaizer's move set. "Very nice... but I'm afraid that you chose the wrong tester. You may not get your passing grade at all, now."

[Kaizer.EXE]

Kaizer quirked an eyebrow as his adversary started to shift forms, finally deciding to take the blue haired navi's own image.

Interesting... but that's all. Nothing I can't handle...

"You think you can beat me with my own form and attacks? .... Highly unlikely. But you're MORE than welcome to try."

Suddenly, Kaiser vanished... reappearing a second later ABOVE his opponent, brandishing his signature glaive in his right hand. As he landed in front of his opponent the blue haired Stealther lashed out with three quick slashes, each one creating a watery shockwave that would envelop Kazier's double if they struck.

<<Special Move: Standard: Ghost Phase; No damage, Stealth/support element>>

<<Special Move: Standard: Swift Typhoon; 150 damage (total), Aqua element>>

However, Kaizer was far from finished. As soon as his first attack ended the Blue Crown swung his left leg forward in an attempt to kick his opponent.

<<Action: Non-special attack; Kick, minor damage>>

((BAH! Need to get the hang of this system... And yes, Crim, I *will* post on BNU later today.))

[Jim Van]

"I'm no newbie to fighting. All us "Normal" navis who are testing are by far the most powerful, most customized standard Navis in existence."

Dodge: 2
Block: 2

The Navi moved his head to the side and grabbed Kaizer's kick, [freehit]twisting him mid air and shifting forms[/freehit]. Now in his true form, his arm flashed and he'd reach forward to poke Kaizer, which would send him flying.

"No need to list your damage ranges... this is only to get used to the system. The battle only ends when I'm satisfied. Tile shift!" With that, the floor shifted to tall grass, and the walls into wood. The green Navi was now nearly invisible in the grass. "Lets see how well you track opponents..."

[Kaizer.EXE]

Dodge: 3
Block: 3

As Kaizer went flying he had already thought of his next move.

Seems like this guy doesn't want to get hit. TOO BAD!

Twisting in mid-air the Water Shadow planted his feet on the ground, sliding back a few feet but stopping himself from flying any further. Suddenly the Revenant noticed that the panels had changed into grass and his enemy was trying to hide amongst the grassy panels.

"Not gonna happen."

Throwing his arms out Kaizer formed a few quick hand seals in the air.

"Water Style; DEEP SEA GHOST WALK!"

With that shout a torrent of water burst up from the panels, enveloping the Revenant where he stood and turning a 3*3 part of the grass into water panels, which Kaizer immediately sank into.

Let's see if he can deal with this.

While he was underwater, safe from attacks and hidden from the view of the other navi the Water Shadow once again twirled his glaive and brought it into position.

"Die by my blade."

The voice seemed to resonate from all around the Revenant's amorphous opponent... and suddenly the entire battlefield was field with clones of Kaizer, each one wielding their signature weapon - the Glaive.

The clones twirled their weapons in unison and proceeded to assault their enemy's last known position... If they hit they would rend the enemy navi asunder, dealing massive damage... even more so if the enemy tried to block.

<<Special attack: Giga: Thousand Blade Funeral Procession>>

Once the attack was completed the clones would vanish, leaving just Kaizer (who was still under the pool of water) and his opponent... who might have just been defeated.

((I think that should just about do it. You never said you moved, and because of the free-hit you have to take my attack seeing as how you didn't REALLY turn invisible.))

[Jim Van]

"Substitution!" After the freehit, he was replaced by a log! "Element Shift, Aqua Style. Technique: Thousand Clone." He too sank into the water, and his clones pulled Kaizer's clones under and deleted them. From there, the king of the domain rose, forcing Kaizer up with him. "You pass. Sorry about the godish escape, but I can't let you delete me. I'm here to test, not to kill." From there, his fingers were snapped and as the area shifted to normal, the door behind him opened.

"Now before you're hunted down, I suggest you register as a citizen... the officials are tightening security now that the Black Halo's moving."

((What he said <.<))

[Kaizer.EXE]

(( ))

As Kaizer rose up from the depths he was more than a little disappointed. He was hoping the battle would last a little bit longer.

Ah well, can't have everything my way now can I?

"Now before you're hunted down, I suggest you register as a citizen... the officials are tightening security now that the Black Halo's moving."

"A citizen, huh? I guess... Though I've never fit in with the normal crowd. Although, in the end what I do will be my choice, as it is with everyone. Thanks for the battle... It was fun while it lasted."

With that Kaizer turned around and started walking off... fading into the air and vanishing as he did so...

((Blargh. Time for Antonio to work. Laters.))
