Shajde tried to guess how long she had been in this position. �An hour? �Two? �Longer? �She supposed it didn't truly matter, it was not long enough.
Her right foot hovered just over the floor of the dojo, bent at the knee and held tightly in the air. �Her left arm was held up before her face just behind her right arm, making a line of flesh between her eyes when she opened them to look at the wall only a few feet away. �Her breath sighed outward in a relaxed gesture as she began.
She rotated left and pushed off her right leg, spinning in the air as she pulled her weapon from the low ceiling. �She forced the staff into the sturdy floor as she fell, flipping her around from face down to her feet. �She landed solid on both and began spinning across the room, twirling her staff slowly as she moved, though gaining speed with each step. �By the time she reached the other end of the room, her long Bo was whistling through the air. �She swung it out into the air at an imagined foe, crushing the wood into arms and ribs made of mist. �She arched back to dodge a blow and backflipped around completely, throwing the stick up around her completely straight, forcing it through the entire image of her enemy before landing on her knees. �She winced in pain.
Still not good enough she said to herself.
For a minute she stayed on her knees, pondering what flaw was still in her form. �Then she heard a sound just outside the doors. �She bounced to her feet and set her stance toward the doorway. �Realizing her current state of dress was unsuitable for company, she dashed to the corner where she kept her cloak and wrapped herself in it. �She turned as the door opened...

Calvin stood in the doorway holding a spear in both hands. His helmet glistened off the sun and caused Shajde to wince. He was a tall man with a cloak hanging off his shoulder. He was 6'0 and 145 pounds, named the fastest person in the land. He jumped to the front of the statue and bowed. He called out, "You are early. In a rush to die?" He took off his cloak readied his spear. The air was crackling with electricity.

....
Shajde looked him over, her one exposed eye glowing green in the dim lanternlight.
I know you...you've been keeping up with me lately, I'm impressed. �But I don't know what I'm early for, this is my dojo.
She smiled slightly, believing she knew how he would answer.
Something you want here?
Calvin was silent.
Shajde grinned beneath her cloth covering, but she trembled inside. �Was she ready for this? �It didn't matter, there were no options.
Fine, on your guard!
She padded silently in a charge toward him, careful to keep a firm grip on the center of her staff as she leaped alongside him and swung at his back...

Calvin moonsaulted over Shajde. "Looking for someone?" as he tapped her shoulder. "calmness is the key to sharpness. Your pesky staff is no match for my spear. I want nothing but to fight. So En Garde, if you are prepared for the void."

Shajde grinned.
I never was good at keeping my cool.
As she spoke, her body slowly was covered with small blue-black flames that danced over her. Shajde dashed at Calvin and attacked with a growl. �Her staff made a sharp clacking sound as it was deflected by his spear haft. �She ducked his counterattack and rolled to the side, then threw her staff at him while holding onto the end of the wood. �As the staff flew through the air, the end of it pulled out in her hand, revealing a long katana that was within the staff sheathe. �Calvin easily blocked the flying sheathe, and Shajde ran in to slash her blade into his spear, digging into the shaft of the weapon. �She smiled.
The Void has long since disowned me.
Yes? He replied. I'm sure they'll make an exception if I send you back to personally!
Not bloody likely! I laughed into his face, pushing him back a few steps...

((Side Story: twenty minutes before))
Genri croaked contentedly outside the Gemini Dojo. �It had been a long day of hunting, but a successful day as well; he had caught nearly twenty bugs to eat today. �Genri closed his eyes and listened to the wind washing over the pond waters and dancing with the tall grass. �"Ahhh," the little frog thought, "this couldn't be better."
Genri must've stayed out on the pond for nearly an hour before he decided to call it a night. �He hopped happily back into the Gemini Dojo.
Noting that Shajde was still practicing, Genri was careful to stay far away from her. �He made his way around the wide building and hopped into his small home: a box in the corner made of reeds. �He took only a moment to fall fast asleep.
((Hehe, I was bored ;p))

"Very impressive! You manage to cleave into my spear. It appears that I underestimated you," said Calvin as he rubbed the split in his spear.
"Never judge a person by their cover!" said Shajde as she danced around with her sword.
"An mistake easily remedy. It appears I will have to toughen up for this battle. You have guts to fight me. Speaking of Guts," he said in a calm voice when all the sudden, "ACCULMULATE!" Energy builted up around Calvin. He was buffed up and primed for a fight. "Your Turn. Show me the power of this stinkin Dojo, if there is any!"

Shajde grinned beneath her cloth mask.
It is called the Gemini Dojo for a reason, but you have yet to earn the right to feel its power. I think instead I'll use my minimal force and see how long it takes you to make me use more.
They slowly circled each other. Calvin lashed out with his spear, and though Shajde parried, she was knocked back by the force of the blow. She cursed as he moved in, striking foward quickly, pushing her back toward the center of the room.
What's the matter? You stopped taunting me Calvin mocked.
Tcha, fine, if you truly wish to see power, I can show it to you!
Shajde waited until his next attack and blocked it, then a second set of arms appeared and slashed down with another sword at his unprotected side!
Dodge THIS! she shouted.

The sword pierced his thigh, leaving a trail of blood as he walked back to the center of the ring
"What are you, Ganesha or Vrishnu? You might have four arms but that doesn't matter because I will still beat you. Nothing can be the power of the Dragoons. Let's take this outside."
He muttered to himself and all the sudden, the wind wailed against the walls, the windows shatter one by one, the roof couldn't hold against the wind and capsized. The walls standing against the strong wind barely lasted. The statue flew across the plains and over the horizon. Calvin stopped muttering and all was calm.
"That's better. I was beginning to feel a little drafty and didn't want to be ill with something called Cabin Fever. Now let's see if you are a master of your enviroment."

Dark Shadow had been traveling for days,his hometown Tanaki was destroyed by the Shiro tribe.Dark Shadow was the only remaining Taki,he had been on rough fights on his way to find a new resting place,he concidered this place might be on peace,but he still didnt know that the town was full of riots.What in hell blazez hapend here? he looked around at a ruined dojo,there stood two people fighting to the death this isnt right at all I thought this town was just a naiboring town,there is nice evergreen trees,pure,clean water.So why are these two fighting? Dark Shadow walkd down the hill leading to the town,he had blue lined armor,a helm that used to be his fathers ,and a legendary sword he called Sparda.This sword was also used by his father it had dark powers that only the Tai family can use.As he came closer he can just bareley see someone bleeding talk about a fight there actually gonna kill each other.........o well.
Dark Shadow then went up to a pub called the Tigers Claw pub and decided to stay there for a while.

Ganesha? Vrishnu? Tcha, you big silly, I'm a Virgo!
No, they're-
I know what they are she said with a giggle. She grew solemn again. You really shouldn't have destroyed the dojo like that, it took me years to set this place down.
For years of building, it was rather easy to destroy.
Destruction is always easier than creation. Here, I'll show you.
Calvin settled back to ready himself for her next rush. Shajde ran toward him straight on, but as she ran she seemed to blur, as though overlapping herself. Just before she got in striking distance of his spear, she shouted, Gemini!!
Shjade split off seperately from Shajde's body and the two women attacked Calvin from either side.
What magic is this?! he exclaimed.
The naughty kind! Shjade laughed. Her sword bit into the back edge of his spear as he parried Shajde's attack with the bladed tip. After trading a few blows, Shajde managed to kick out his knee, dropping him onto his back. Their two sword crossed and slashed down into his spear, nearly splitting it at the center, but Calvin managed to hold off the attack. He kicked out at the shaft where their blades met and knocked the pair of them back far enough to regain his footing. The pair of killers stood back to back, Shajde with her sword in front of her, the tip between her feet just over the ground, and Shjade with her blade pointed at her foe over her head, looking relaxed.
So, think you can beat the two of us? they asked in unison. He did not reply, and their laughter mingled like a song in the cool wind, lost innocence flickering between currents of ancient death.

Shajde felt another entity moving toward the three of them. Shjade...
Yaya, I can feel it too. Gimme a sec.
Shjade flipped her sword around and drove the blade into the foundations of the ruined dojo. Soul Barrier, rise!
The air seemed to freeze around the dojo for a moment, then lit up the sky with a violet glow, forming a dome over the three duellists.
What are you doing? Calvin asked.
Don't worry about it...
...I'm just making sure we don't suddenly find ourselves with another guest.
And of course, you can't leave now, either. I must say, I love fighting on my own ground.
Shjade pulled her sword back out of the stones. Now, where were we...?

"If you don't want outsiders, I suppose that it will have to come from inside. BAHAMUT " Out of the materia, the dragon rose up high until the magic barrier blocked his ascent. He looked down at me, "They put up the barrier, Kill one of them and leave one to me."
Bahamut snorted and turned his attention to one of them.
"Bahamut, you never cease to impress me. You are far more stronger than I expected." Shajde said in a daze.
Bahamut circled the twins like vultures.

....I'll take the ugly one.
You sure you can handle it alone?
Tcha, no, but you're going to help me with it after you smear that guy all over the floor, right?
Shajde sighed. �Of course.
Well then, let's go!
Shjade hopped up and kicked off of Shajde's back, catapulting towards Bahamut with her blade flickering in the purple light. �The dragon swung his claws at her, but the force of the movements made strong gusts of wind which she rode up onto his arm. �Roaring a battle cry, she ran up his scaled arm toward his body, and leaped toward his head to begin her attack, only to find his open mouth aimed at her and glowing blue. �Oh da-- �A great blast of energy fired from the dragon, smashing Shjade back into the ground with a small explosion.
Shajde, meanwhile, had her hands full taking Calvin on. �He was stronger than her, but she could still outmaneuver him so far. �His long spear hummed as it swung around her, making close cuts as she scarcely dodged his attacks. �He lunged in to pierce her throat, and stepped off-balance on a broken tile on the floor. �Shajde took advantage of the small mistake, slamming her head against his and twisting his spear out of his hand as he stumbled backwards. �Twirling the spear in one hand and raising her sword in the other, she silently rushed the dazed Calvin.

Seeing Shajde rushing toward her, he had to do something and quick. Nothing could stop her now. What am I going to do? Wait, that's the answer STOP
Shajde halted in her tracks. The stop spell last one second. That was all it required for Calvin to get up and get his spear. Shajde recovered and rushed toward where Calvin was. She looked and found him on the other side.
"I didn't realize you were so versaile. Is that all you got?" said shajde.
"Never judge a dragoon by its body. I am capable of more than you can imagine. The battle just started. Catch me if you can." Calvin jumped high into the sky and Shajde looked all over for him.

A rustle of cloth caught Shajde's attention and she looked up in time to see Calvin's spear falling toward her face. She dodged to the side, but immediately was struck from behind by a swipe of Bahamut's claws. She flew across the dojo and crashed into the ground with a yelp. Slowly pushing to her feet, she looked over to see the dragon flying toward her, charging for a shot to vaporize her. Shjade suddenly leaped off the ground and caught onto Bahamut's belly scales. The dragon turned his attention to her, forgetting it's charged shot was ready to fire, and Shjade dropped out of the way as the shot blasted out, tearing the dragon in half with it's own power. As the beast fell earthward, it faded into the air and disappeared.
One...hahhhh..hahh..hha...down....hahhh..hahhh... she panted.
Calvin dropped from the above and punched his spear down through Shajde's shoulder, pinning her to the ground. As she screamed in pain, she wrapped her legs around his and tried to bring him to the ground, but his balance was too good, and he began tearing the spear down into her chest. Shjade rushed him from behind, calling her spirit blades to her hands as she came near. Leave her alone!!!
