Guardian Special Force Training (I)

[Geurin]

All members are welcome to join in this training and I STRONGLY encourage it. We will have mass group trainings about once a month, maybe twice if I feel so inclined, so dont miss out.

Kami-Tenshu had once again called for an early wake up on the lookout tower, Having fought with Nehan just yesterday, his limbs were still sore, Kami could heal himself, but felt that naturally letting nature take its course would be more effective for his endurance over all.
He watched as the drowsy warriors, and the seemingly uneffected androids, made their way out of the lookout and onto the marble tile, which miraculousely had not taken any damage from any of the fights that had taken place on its smooth top.

Kami was wearing his white robe with a long Blue cape, it came up around him like a scarf to help warm him from the chilly weather. Being at such a high altitude was colder than most places, and so the warriors would have to adjust to it while training. Kami however was already well adjusted, the weather bothered him very little.

On the Kami's right side was a stack of sheet wood, roughly 2X2 feet in length. Kami picked up one of the Boards and without giving instruction jumped to the top of one of his towers, there were 6 towers on the Lookout, with a seventh being the lookout house itself. Kami jumped to the top of the lookout building, and set the board on the very top of it, where there was but a small ball to hold the board. Kami then sat cross legged on the board and balanced himself on it, the board was perfectly still as the Kami got into position, and then spoke to his students.

"Today we will practice meditation. For the entire day we will sit on these boards and think, the first few hours you may not feel anything, but staying focused, and balanced, will help clear your mind, and allow your Ki to flow more readily."

With that Kami's eyes closed, and he remained perfectly still....and silent...

Even the harsh winds that blew would not shake the old Kami from his spot of meditation, and this was a skill that the warriors would need to learn.

Kris got up out of bed groggily. Waking up this early wasn't as difficult as it was yesterday, and he would soon adjust to his new sleeping schedule. He quickly put on his gi (He kept his pants on when he slept) and tied his sash around his waist as he was walking down the hall.

Kris was one of the first ones outside. He would quickly bow to Kami with his arms straight down his sides. "Good morning, master Kami." Kris said eagerly. He was feeling quite anxious today about training, and really wanted to step up his training somehow.

He then noticed Kami picking up a sheet of wood from a pile. Kami took a piece of wood and sat on it atop the lookout's main building. Kami told the students that they would practice meditation today. Kris liked the idea of training his mind instead of his body, but he wasn't quite sure of how much it would help. Regardless, Kris grabbed a board and flew up to one of the towers casually. He tried his best to balance the wood on top of the tower, but couldn't quite get it.

When he finally balanced it as best as possible, he quickly sat on top of it. He used a very steady amount of Bukujutsu to keep himself balanced. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths, clearing his mind as he started his meditation. A few thoughts disturbed his concentration every so often, but he was experienced with this sort of thing, and usually remained relatively focused.

(Come on guys, this is our training)

Ba'alzamon was glad that he was finally getting a chance to train with something less... physically exerting. He had no qualms with fighting, it's just that the rock carrying seemed a little... monotonous.

Kami jumped up and placed his board on the top of the building, and sat on it with the utmost ease, something Ba' would never be able to completely comprehend.

This guy has perfect balance... Ba'alzamon thought. I'll never figure out how he does it. He seems so fair, yet he's so agile...

He used his bukujutsu technique and flew to the top of the tower, and placed the board on the top. It slid off, and he tried in vain to catch it. It slid down the tower and he was forced to go all the way back down to retrieve it.

Ten minutes later, he finally managed not only to balance the board on the tower but to also sit on top of it comfortably.

Anything can be accomplished with another effort. Ba' said, and couldn't help but think back to his time imprisoned.

Cheriko headed out of her room as she pushed her arms through the holes of her mini-jacket, yawning. She blinked a few times as her strangely violet eyes adjusted on her master, and two of his other students. She hadn't met any of them properly, and as much as she felt like introducing herself, she saw this moment as inappropriate. They were here to focus on letting their ki flow more fluently, not socialize.

She grabbed a board from the stack and silently hopped to the top of the tower using her Eahoppu technique, and, after several failed attempts to balance her board on the top, softly sat on top of it, careful to be perfectly still. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath of air, determined to pass her training with flying colors so she could protect the Earth. She thought of Quincy again as the thought of the ruined Central City passed through her mind. As much as she hated to think of it, he too must have been dead from the senseless onslaught of the innocent metropolis.

Exhaling her breath, Cheriko opened her eyes as a chilly breeze sliced the air, making her shiver slightly. Trying to regain her focus, she shut her eyes forcefully and relaxed her shoulders, aiming to complete this task on her long road to become a successful warrior.

As the four of them began to meditate, their Ki seemed to combine, their inner souls align.

The energy began to blow like a heavy wind around the lookout, this however did not cause the young warriors stress, or difficulty. No it rather brought them further into zen, deeper into thought, as each one would experience their own enlightenment, each on would come to a conclusion about their life.

This was a channeling of Ki, a group effort that would help keep one another under control, and keep them focused. As the power grew, so did the wind, and as the wind grew, their focus and resolve grew. With Kami in the center, and his new students on either side, the combined force was enough to bring each of them a boost in power, they inner Ki brought forward.


This was the act of meditation, this is why the kami so often would be found in deep meditation. Looking within thineself, and pulling out the inner power that only you know of. That was the purpose of this days training.

(Each person should post once more, and then it can be graded)

Kris shunned the world around him and cleared his mind, diving deeper into his own self being. He sensed his Ki combining with the others, creating a sort of vortex of energy.

He sensed Ba'alzamon... His energy was powerful, but rather unstable. He observed that Ba' had a somewhat lack of training in martial arts, but possessed a high amount of strength. If he could learn to better control his energy, he would make a formidable warrior indeed. In his fight with Ba', Kris' higher level of martial arts experience was still no match for Ba's strength. Kris would get the better of him someday, though...

Kris then felt Cheriko's energy. Strange... It seemed so plain, so unnatural. It was almost a monotone kind of energy, but still life-like. Kris always thought there was something different about her, but he wasn't quite sure what. He didn't know she was an android, and didn't know what an android even was for that matter. He tried to access her inner Ki, but couldn't even find it. It was like she lacked a soul... Kris tried to ignore it, as the confusion was clouding his concentration.

Next he felt Kami. His Ki energy wasn't as high as the others, but it had a strange feel to it... A sort of magnitude that wasn't present in anything he had ever experienced. It was like Kami's energy was small, but extremely efficient. His Ki was focused so intensely, it made Kami's very presence seem almost frightening.

As Kris had finished sensing his allies, he then focused on his own Ki. He concentrated his spiritual energy, almost as if he was exercising his soul. He again sensed the inner Ki that was locked away deep inside him. He would soon reveal the new technique to his friends, and hopefully defeat Ba'alzamon. Kris saw Ba' as a rival, a goal to surpass. He knew the feeling was mutual, and that Ba' saw Kris as a sparring partner and friend.

Kris continued raising his power level as he explored his inner mind. His senses were also at their maximum sharpness. Though he could sense the world around him well, he ignored it. He refused to let his mind be distracted by any outside influence as he hollowed his mind, condensing his Ki within himself.
