Trevor stopped the rolling head of a straw dummies with his foot. "Bloodthirsty. Which is good, in a way... Now I think you can fight, your next opponent will be me." He pulled out a sword, from the rack of training equipment, it had a wooden blade, blunt, was the only word to describe it. He looked for a set off wooden claws, but found none. "Okay, it seems that you will have to use your claws... Just remember to play nice with that sharp weapon."<br/><br/>He dropped into crouch, holding the sword before him. Within his mind's eye, Lili transformed into a faceless adversary. He nodded, "You may want to initiate the battle."<br/><br/>******<br/><br/>Marcus stood, waiting as the crowd of onlookers waited silently, "Is there none who can match the power of a Vectormaster?" He spun around, agitated.<br/><br/>Then from the crowd, a young lady stepped forward. She wielded a katana with trembling hands. She said softly, until Marcus had to strain his ears to hear her words, "If I disarm you, can you promise to leave this street and its inhabitants alone?"<br/><br/>"Words of the Noble! Wonderful! And yes, I will leave if you manage to disarm me." He lowered his body, and leered, "Now, shall we dance?" The swordswoman charged forward, crossing the distance between them in three strides. Her katana clashed with his cutlass, a sharp grinding sound stabbed their ears. He swept the cutlass, knocking her back effortlessly.<br/><br/>He lunged forward, intending to impale her but he missed. She slashed at the cutlass, attempting to knock it out of his grasp. The weapon slipped from his grasp, but then it reversed its motion before the girl's eyes. The hilt returned into Marcus's palm, "Vectors. You have challenged me so..." He lunged forward, catching the katana and weaving a web of steel around it, and knocking it out of her grasp. The blade skittered on the floor. In a flash, he was behind her he siezed her hair and his cutlass descended on her exposed throat.<br/><br/>"Stop!" A clear voice caused Marcus to halt and heads to turn. It was Kanzaki.<br/><br/>(wooo... Drew Jasper, I might post him here later.)
