Protectors of SOLDIER Honor. (Fate, Sonny, Closed)

[Angeal Hewley]

Angeal smirked at Sonuske's way of taking down the tree, and he noticed that Sonuske made use of the shadows, how interesting. Never in all his travels had Angeal met someone who made use of the one thing we ALL take for granted, our shadows. And once more he used it to make Fate his method, technically he hadn't used a tool, or any weapon. Angeal did have to mentally admit though, it required dome type of critical thinking to pull such a thing off in under 3 minutes, maybe there was hope for the two of them yet. Or at least Angeal thought so until he saw Fate's method, now Sonnuske had used a technique, but the technique he used required skill and tact. But Fate's was just pure brute force, straight forward, much like Zack. And as Angeal trained Zack he would have to train Fate.

Angeal rose to his feet and walked over to the both of them and looked at both trees, Fate's was completely destroyed, and Sonuske's was not. He turned to Fate. ''The point of this exercise was NOT for you to do the first thing that came to mind, but clearly that was a primary attack!'', he yelled and threw a heavy punch at Fate's jaw hoping to knock him senseless. Angeal thought about the blow after he threw it, maybe it was a bit too hard. ''Now! Since you don't want to follow instructions then how about a different more hands on way of training'', he said walking over to his tree and grabbing his sword. ''Sonny, stand down'', he said turning towards and raised his right foot to take a step, but before the foot could hit the ground Angeal in the blink of an eye was in front of Fate swinging the wider non lethal back end of his sword aimed at his sternum.

[Sonuske Asama]

Sonuske grinned as Fate got chastised by Angeal. He found this to be very amusing. That was, until Angeal's fist was slamming into Fate's face. Sonuske was about to say something against it, but didn't want to end up the same way, so he kept his mouth shut. Besides, they had asked for it when they asked Angeal to train them. They'd both just have to deal with stuff like this from now on.

"Don't have to tell me twice." He said sighing with exasperation and plopping down right where he was. He leaned back, keeping himself sitting up with his hands behind him. He watched with interest as Angeal attacked Fate again, this time with his sword. He hoped Fate would be able to dodge or counter or something! That looked like it would hurt, alot!

[Fate Lingod]

Fate looked at Angeal with a blank expression. He would admit that the way Sonuske achieve the goal was pretty smart. But they were both abilities. Fate's electricity and Sonuske's shadows so Fate didn't understand why Angeal was so upset. Fate just smiled slightly at Angeal. "So you tell me how to knock down the tree Mr. Angeal," He said, "Better yet; how about you show me. I clearly don't understand."

"I didn't do the first thing that came to my mind," He smiled, "The first thing that came to my mind was to just cut the tree down with my blades." That was honesty for you. But then Angeal hit Fate in the face which caused him to stagger back a bit. Fate rubbed his jaw and swallowed his pride. He laughed slightly to cover up the fact that he was pretty angry now. Hand on training? He gonna touch us! Shut up...

Fate rubbed the back of his head, letting his crimson orbs follow Angeal as he grabbed his sword. Then with that one step, he was in front of Fate. But Fate wasn't any ordinary boy. In one swift movement, Fate had unsheath his two sword revolvers and blocked Angeal's attack. The force from the impact of Angeal's blade against Fate's own caused the boy to slide back a few feet. "Hands on training. I'm down," Fate said, smiling. He swung his blade in his right hand over his shoulders and extended the other blade out toward Angeal. "I'll tell you now, Mr. Angeal... Speed isn't your ally this time."

[Angeal Hewley]

As Fate brought up his sword and slid back Angeal noted the exceptional blade handling form that the boy possessed. ''Nice, Nice indeed'', he said lunging forward again and swinging once more this time twice as hard and in a diagonal fashion. ''Just as arrogance is not yours young one'', he said swinging again and spinning around to swing in a counter clockwise motion before leaping back and holding his blade poised forward with the tip pointing towards Fate.

Angeal dug his sword into the ground and ripped it out sending waves at Fate.

(Sorry, this is what you get when I's Got no muse ;D)

[Sonuske Asama]

Sonuske felt himself let out a breath of air he hadn't realized he was holding when Fate blocked Angeal's sword attack. He sat up straighter as Angeal continued the assault. What was the point of this? Killing him wouldn't make him stronger, he'd just be dead. Sonuske couldn't lose his best friend training with some guy wielding a large sword, no matter how badly Fate wanted to get stronger, he was sure there were other people around willing to train them.

Maybe he should get involved? He could most definitely catch Angeal in his shadows since he was focused on attacking Fate. He was having an internal battle while watching the two go at it. His lazy side wanted to just continue watching and believe everything would be alright, though another part of him felt the need to jump into action to save his friend from being murdered by a sword wielding maniac. Maybe he'd wait for Fate's reaction before stepping in to help. Maybe Fate didn't need his help anyway.

[Fate Lingod]

"Hey, hey. Now's not the time to be impressed Mr. Angeal," Fate smirked. But truth be told, Fate was happy that Angeal seemed impressed with his swordmenship. As Angeal lunged forward, Fate shifted his body advoiding Angeal's huge blade. Fate knew that they wasn't much chance of him blocking that attack without taking damage. Angeal's strength compared to Fate's was world's apart. So Fate knew he wasn't going to beat him in a battle of strengths.

Fate jumped backward to avoid Angeal's second and third attack altogether. Fate charged forward to go on the assult, but came to a halt as he saw the debris coming toward him. But Fate quickly picked up speed with a smirk dancing across his face. As the debris was about to hit Fate, a bolt of electricity was fire from the boy's chest, clearing the debris and heading directly at Angeal. The bolt would have only been powerful enough to shock then man, leaving him open for a second, if it did connect. Fate waste no time though. He jumped into the air, sticking his left blade into a tree. He pulled himself up and landed on the sword revolver as he placed the other in his mouth. He held his hands out in front of him as a crimson aura surrounded the boy's hands. There was a small crackling sound that could be heard before a wave of electricity was launched from the boy's hands and at Angeal.

[Angeal Hewley]

Angeal's eyes began to widen as the lightning came towards him, luckily he had enough speed to allow the electricity to hit his sword by moving it in front of him. The electricity moved down the metal blade and onto the hilt where if possible it would continue to shock Angeal. The electricity was stopped however by Angeal's rubber/Leather gloves. He jumped up above the second crimson lightning attack and at Fate, where he began to swing his blade at Fate's head hoping not to injure him too badly as his blade was a bit out of reach. ''Come on kid, never take your hand off your blade just because you think you have your opponent pinned'', he said launching a furious barrage of slashes with the dull part of his blade so Fate wouldn't be hurt.

He dropped to the ground and pulled his blade to rip through the tree's trunk hoping to knock it down and Fate with it. ''And also never talk ground on a tree.... They fall easily to the blade'', he said as the tree fell. ''Don't get too comfortable just watching, you're next'', he said pointing his blade towards Sonuske.

[Sonuske Asama]

Sonuske just continued to watch the battle, seeing Fate was clearly capable of handling himself. That put Sonuske's raging brain at ease, and he sighed in relief. He leaned back on his hands again, analysing just how Angeal fought, incase he had to fight him later. Or incase Angeal tried to cross them and kill them, you could never be too careful in an unfamiliar world. So far, it seemed that Angeal had a very aggressive fighting style, it wouldn't be easy, but together they could take him.

He was drawn from his thoughts as Angeal spoke to him, and he looked up, to see a large blade being pointed at him. "Great...." Guess it was a good thing he was paying attention to the fight. Now he knew how Angeal fought, but Angeal didn't know anything about how Sonuske fought. He had the advantage of that atleast. If Sonuske actually applied himself, he might be able to come out on top.

[Fate Lingod]

Fate wasn’t surprised his first attack didn’t work. It was actually meant to stop Angeal’s debris from getting to the boy. But it would have been nice if it did connect with the man like Fate wanted it to. But as Angeal jumped over his second attack, Fate smiled. Fate wasn’t expecting this also, but it turned out to be perfect. ”Not pinned. Just shocked.” Before Fate could take advantage of Angeal being in the air the man went on a barrage of sword slashes. Fate held his hand out in front of him, creating a solid shield of electricity to take the beating the boy was going to receive.

He quickly grabbed the blade from his mouth with his right hand and his other hand he placed against the tree as Angeal attempted to cut it. As the tree was falling Fate released a bolt of electricity, causing the tree to explode. He grabbed his other blade which was now free from the tree’s hold and spun, launching the blade at Angeal. But instead of going at him the blade landed two feet away from his right side. Fate then fired off two bolts of electricity; one heading directly at Angeal and the other at Fate’s blade. Fate expected the bolt aimed at Angeal wouldn’t work so it was just there for distraction. It would have seemed that Fate had disappeared and reappeared beside Angeal. But what really happen was as soon as the bolt connected with his blade, Fate grinded on the bolt at unseen speeds. Yes, he was capable of something like that. He swung the dull side of the blade in his right hand at Angeal’s chest. Using his momentum, he continued to spin grabbing the blade from the ground, readying to block any attack Angeal threw his way.

[Angeal Hewley]

Angeal marveled for a second at Fate's new speed, wasn't he the one who said a few seconds ago that speed wasn't always your friend, or something equivalent. Angeal swung his own blade to parry the blade but was knocked back by the force of an explosion. Angeal's eyes perceived the speed and began to glow his deep blues and in a counter to Fate's own speed he moved in the opposite direction to avoid the attacks and turned to face Fate again as the blue aura still surrounded his body. The crimson and dark blue illuminated the area and seemed to come together homogeneously into a crimson and blue tornado so to speak.

''Well then, for someone who doesn't think speed is an ally. You sure do possess a large amount don't you?'', he smirked and let his blade fall from his shoulder to the ground causing a spark to emit. He drug his blade in front of him sending another wave of blue energy towards Fate.

[Sonuske Asama]

Sonuske continued to watch the fight, silently commending Fate on his efforts and ingenuity, but it seemed Angeal always had some other trick up his sleeve. That fact alone made him frown, but since he was next anyway, he knew it'd be a good idea to keep watching. As long as he could catch Angeal in his shadow, he should be able to defeat him. Now all he had to do was come up with a plan to capture him. He squatted down on one knee, and created a circle with his hands as his head fell downwards and he closed his eyes. He was coming up with a strategy.
