Earth Training 2

[Carmen]

Having moved away from the other training groups Carman had stepped off to the far side of the Lookout. Carla had gone into a stretching regiment before they had moved away and Carmen assumed it would continue a bit before they actually began their sparring session. The Makaio herself did no such work out to warm herself up, the demon’s body always ready for combat. Little did she know that part of that readiness was from the hours upon hours she had spent training in her past life as Carmen Andorran the human. She had forgotten that full name and that life now though, and good thing or she would be trying to rip the throat out of the girl that now stood across from her.

Smiling calmly, a little more comfortable now that she wasn’t the center of attention of so many individuals the pink haired girl draws both of her Vulcan pistols. Looking over at the girl she waited patiently, not wanting to rush her opponent into their training session, they did have time after all. Personally she didn’t care if they stopped this Kemuri person, if Alexander’s plans went the way he had said they would they would soon be in charge of the Earth, it didn’t matter to her who they had to replace when that time came. Until then she would entertain herself by other means, fighting against this girl and growing stronger was one way. Alexander had said to go along with all of this for now, to feel out those would be hero’s that the trio would eventually need to go against.

”Take your time Carla, I am ready whenever you are.” Still smiling over at the smaller girl she lets her arms hang at her sides, gripping her pistols as she waits. Glancing around the lookout she could see the others had already began, the two of them apparently the last to begin. Nex was struggling to fight against that Azazel woman while Alexander was off training with the chubby black man known as Popo. The Makaio watches the different groups as they fight, simply waiting for Carla to say she was ready to begin.

Carla finished her leg stretches, stood up straight, and walked over to Carmen. Her eyes were not on the others at this point only Carmen the young woman before her. This lady was her sister in actuality but she did not know it either since the woman was twice her age and very different in appearance. She smiled at Carmen who was gripping her pistols and uttered, "I should have you know I'm ready now to fight or spar against you."

Oh you are so ready... Pandora cackled in the back of her mind. Carla had no idea why Pandora was acting this way but her words were getting a bit creepy. She gripped both her katanas though and quickly drew them from their scabbards before twirling them around in both hands by their hilts. When she was ready she pointed the tips of both her blades at Carmen and charged at her.

The fight was to begin now, but as she ran she told Pandora, "If you really want us to fight fair can you boost my power please. I have a bad feeling about this." Pandora answered amidst the sprint. Possibly... But it's hard to charge energy while moving. For now, therefore, Carla would simply attack Carmen with a straight forward double-stab attack with her weapons by first pulling back both arms and then pushing them forward the moment she reached Carmen. It would be swift, hard to read, and hopefully hit the long range fighter before she could pull out her guns and attempt to fire back.

It was highly possible the young blond had hand-to-hand training, however, Carla was confident she was better in this department. The reason being was that she had trained since she was seven years old in this type of combat yet had not gone to master the principles of the AnAn Clan's secret techniques for this fighting type.

[Carmen]

Hearing the girl speak Carmen turns her attention back to her, smiling some since the younger girl was now ready to begin. Rolling her shoulder some she had already assessed her opponent and despite how young she was Carla was stronger than her. Not a fool she realized in her current state that she was going to be outmatched so she figured there was any reason to hold back against this one. As Carla charge and internally debated with Pandora about whether she should power up even more Carmen needed no such debate, instead she unleashes her full power as soon as the blade wielding female starts to come at her.

With her red aura bursting to life around her the Makaio’s power level doubles, boosting up to her true potential. Along with the flowing aura and the increase in power came several other changes. The aura itself kicked up her long pink hair, the long strands rustling as if caught within a strong wind, her hair almost taking on a darker color due to the red aura that now flowed around her. The girl’s eyes changed as well, the soft purple that they normally were replaced by a deep red, closely matching the color of her aura. Lastly, a much more subtle change, Carmen’s canines elongated slightly which made her look a little less human then she had moments before, but not as drastic like the fangs a vampire might have.

At full power now she was equal to Carla’s current state so when the two blades stabbed forward for her side she was ready. Quick to draw her pistols she does not move to intercept the weapons as she twists, turning her body sideways to make her slender body appear even slimmer. Both of the sharp swords would glide by her, one in front of her stomach and one behind her back. In the same motion as turning her right side to face Carla her right arm snaps up, gripping the barrel of her pistol now as she looks to slam the handle of it across the smaller girls face. Young or not she had come right at Carmen with every intention of stabbing her so the Makaio did not plan on holding back, employing her Gun-kata fighting style right off the bat. She was most definitely more dangerous at a longer range, but she had also received training in the past to fight in close combat, her solid guns still formidable weapons when used as blunt striking objects.

[Deleted]

The aura kicking up Carmen's hair is strong and the strange purple eyes and fangs protruding from the woman's mouth creep out Carla for a short moment. Yet when she stabs at her the lady's ability to move inbetween her sword strikes by twisting her body sideways surprises Carla the most. The lady seems quite thin, much thinner then Carla expects as she uses her serpentine body to dodge to strikes, draws her right holstered gun with her right hand and slams the barrel into Carla's face. Carla lets out a painful yowl as she staggers back two feet and feels a bruise former just between her upper lip and below her nostrils. Blood gushes down from the thin fold of skin covering this area and it makes her mad. She decides to make more space between her and her foe and back flips ten more feet away from her attacker.

Kurosanai was not going to like it if she could not heal her mouth at some point. The girl was not expecting the spike in power within the older Carmen's lovely physique to be this strong. She wiped her lip off though on her sleeve before flipping her swords around and sheathing them.

"So... Elders like to hurt kids like myself this badly these days do they? Well, I'm about to kick your butt!" Carla clasps both hands together folding them over each other and allows her ki to flow from within her stomach and brain throughout her body. It is payback time and if Carmen wishes to start a fight in this manner Carla only feels it in her best interest to respond as her own short red hair lengths to half shoulder length and turns brown. Her eyes, are focused and determined as she stares Carmen down and allows a red aura to engulf her. Within seconds she can feel her height increase slightly and her muscles bulge in her arms and legs a tiny bit as well. They feel limber, taut, and full of energy. Her hips and thighs widen as this happens and her chest begins to stick out from beneath her bright kimono far more then one would expect.

To the normal eye she would appear to have simply gained far more muscle and height then a regular thirteen year old would have. Yet the reality was she had tapped into an ancient power. The power of Pandora. A dead spirit who was older then her and whose power she could use if she took on her form in combat a form she appeared as now before the cocky demoness Carmen. It was going to be a fun fight since by doing this and accessing the power of Pandora, allowing the presence of her soul to traverse her body, she had doubled her power beyond her own limits and probably Carmen's as well.

"I'll make you bleed!" she cried in an airy voice as she allowed her left leg to bend back behind her so she was resting low to the ground. She then pointed her right foot out towards Carmen, her target, curled her fingers on her hand and waved them about in front of her before letting one clawed hand rest next to her left ear and having the second one rest a few inches in front of her right eye.

She was read to attack so she lunged forwards after doing this doing this and let out a cry of "Wolf Fang Fist!" The geta she was wearing clacked against the hard ground as she ran at Carmen and the air around her seemed to howl similarly to that of a wolf's cry. Once she was in striking distance her arms would move like springs and strike at Carmen's face, especially her eyes in a mad attempt to gouge her skin with her own sharp nails. The speed at which Carla was moving was hard to ascertain but the trained eye would be able to see that her technique consisted of palm strikes reinforced by her claw like fingers. One could add kicks to the technique but Carla was hell bent on damaging Carmen's face.

Meanwhile, in the back of her mind, Pandora watched as she fed the girl her energy and let her drive her own body's functions. Oh wow, this sister fight is really getting heated up. I wonder if there will be any killing? I really think we should have told someone about Carla's past a bit more otherwise they may not like her ruthless strikes and come to intervene.

With every action the girl made the former warrior goddess could feel Carla's rage and sweat. Yes, feed your revenge, and then you'll free yourself from the real danger to come. The danger and the evil I separated you from. Your sister is a cold blooded killer, far worse then you. Unfortunately, for Carla she was too focused on the heated task of beating the crud out of a woman twice her age, even though she was physically similar in age now to her sparring partner thanks to Pandora's ability.

[Carmen]

Carmen felt the handle of her pistol slam into the smaller girls face, opening her fair face up right between her upper lip and nose. The Makaio had not expected the girl to continue coming straight at her, had even expected her to dodge in some way, but she must not have seen the strike coming. If the younger girl resented her for the strike to the face Carmen didn’t care, they had started their training session and there was no point in a fight in which they didn’t strike each other right? Besides in terms of power level they were relatively even so she had not thought the blow to land so solidly. Surprisingly Carla moves away from her after only taking one blow, the pink haired girl raising an eyebrow as the close range fighter withdrew.

Giving her a moment to gather herself Carman was not at all prepared for what came next. The young fighter released a torrent of power, doubling the strength she had in an instant. That was not all though as Carla’s entire body changed. In a few short seconds the young girl that had been in what almost looked like an oversize Kimono transformed into a girl much closer to that of Carmen, her outfit now seeming tight. She no doubt looked older, her face changing to resemble that of a woman in the place of a child while the rest of her body filled out accordingly. Never having seen a transformation like this one it gave the Makaio pause, blinking several times as the girl’s new form took shape. Then came the cry as the older version of Carla rushed towards her, Carmen having no idea about the power that flowed through both of their veins.

At close to double Carmen’s current power level Carla was hard to follow as she rushed in. The demoness swung with her Vulcan again, but was just not able to match the girls speed. In came a fist aimed for her face, the blow slamming right between her eyes. The blow packed enough force to snap her head back some, eyes watering as the other females nails raked along her skin. A tough girl Carmen maintains her balance and even starts to pull her head back into place when a flurry of blows came in at her, almost all of them directed for her face. Squeezing her eyes closed the Makaio groans as several shots hit her in the face, eyes remaining shut to protect them from the girl’s nails. For an instant the hits stopped then a foot slammed into the side of her head. With a deep groan Carmen gets taken off her feet to slam down hard on her side.

”Uhhh…what the…hell…..” Unsure why she had earned the girls angry fury when they were supposed to be helping each other grow stronger Carmen shakes her head to try and clear it. Still holding her pistols loosely she starts to try and roll over so that she can get up.

[Deleted]

"I'm sorry about striking you," Carla tells her as she pulls her fists back. She can see her nails have raked across her foe's face, especially between the eyes. "I just wanted to use my full power since I assumed you used your." It was quite a surprise that Carla was stronger then Carmen.

"You know sister you should focus on reacting quicker if you want me to take this training more seriously with you." Carla placed her hands on her hips as she watched and waited for Carmen to do a full frontal roll and stand up from the ground.  She said the sister part without really knowing why, but sometimes girls called each other sisters when they were friends so she figured that was why.  She wanted to be Carmen's friend despite the harsh kind of training they were now putting themselves through.

It would probably not take Carmen long to stand so Carla quickly shifted from just standing there back into a low stance in order to strike with her Wolf Fang Fist again.

[Carmen]

Shaking her head a bit more as Carla apologizes the pink haired female looks over at her. This one made no sense... Moments before she had charged screaming she was going to kill Carmen and now she was apologizing as well as giving the Makaio combat advice? Many thought Carmen was a little unbalanced, but this Carla was definitely not level. It was almost as if she had dual personalities,  both of which seemed to be conflicted. Rolling to her feet she levels a glare at the other girl.

"Are you daft? I only raised my power so that I could match yours. It is a little hard to dodge when your opponent is almost twice as fast as you." Blinking some she could tell there were various scratches between her eyes and around them, the woman's sharp nails having made sure of that. Refocusing she takes several steps back as Carla settles into her stance, wanting to put some distance between them. For a moment she does nothing,  wanting to make sure her opponent was ready before attacking.

More prepared this time Carmen's are snap up, leveling both if her Vulcan pistols at the woman. A burst of lazer like shots came from the dual pistols, all aimed for Carla's chest. With the difference in power level she knew they would only sting, but it would let her try and set up her true attack. After the initial volley the Makaio begins to channel more Ki into the grips of her guns, powering them up for a stronger blast. Her hopes was that the first shots would distract Carla long enough so that she could charge this one, perhaps making it strong enough to wound the woman. Glaring over her guns as the female, Carmen smirks...sister....we will about that, Carla was going to have to earn her respect of they were to be sisters on the battlefield.

(Vulcan Pistols - Charge 1, sorry forgot to add this when I posted and your post reminded me XD )

[Deleted]

Carmen's words surprised Carla as she soon found herself having to dodge red lasers aimed at her chest.  Her feet moved like lead, at first, she felt her skin burn, sting, itch as she took a stream of energy to the chest and noticed her footing slide.  Her arms flailed around as she attempted to regain the balance of her extremely low power stance, but she fell over onto her right side instead, cracking a hole into the ground when her elbow slammed into the pavement by accident.  She lay there relatively unhurt due to the power gap between them that allowed her to remain relatively unhurt compared to the woman before her.  Yet, unlike Carmen, Carla knew she could not keep the amount of power she was holding in her body steady forever, so she took it upon herself to rise to her feet with a simple push of her hands off the ground and tried to assault Carmen while she foolishly charged her guns' to full power.

"You know that was all an act," she laughed as she zig-zagged across the stone platform of Kami's Lookout in Carmen's direction.  This time she was not going to use her swords.  "The best you can actually do with your peashooters is knock me down."

By this point, Carmen might have her next attack ready to go, but with all the power flowing currently through her body Carla thought she could endure her coming attack.  That is why she skidded to a halt in front of her and charged a red fireball of energy in both her hands after waving them in front of Carla's face randomly.  She pretended she was going to use Wolf Fang Fist again by doing this, but instead said,  "Come eat my Thunder Flash in a moment."

Then she let the electrically-charged red fireball grow in size in the palm of her hands.  Her fists clenched tightly, making her palms turn pure white, as she did all she could to contain her energy.  For now, she would let her attack condense in her hands as it flowed into her fists before releasing it at some point a few moments or a few minutes later.  It was going to be a standoff and the winner was likely going to blow up a later chunk of Kami's tower with their strongest attack.

Thunder Flash (Charge 1, 1.6 Multiplier)

[Carmen]

Charging energy into her pistols Carmen keeps her eyes on the woman across from her, ready for her to come at her yet again. Smirking some she was pleased when the girl rushed for her again. Carmen knew she was still outmatched, but even so she planned to blast the woman with both pistols in the face, aiming for her eyes. If she could hit here there the blasts might be powerful enough to blind her for a moment. That opportunity might actually buy her a chance to try a real attack; her foe hopefully hindered so that he slower blows could land with relative ease. Of course all of this never came to fruition as Carla skidded to a halt some distance from her.

The Makaio’s eyebrow lifts a little as she suddenly comes to a stop, both of her hands raising to face her instead. Seeing them begin to glow Carmen could sense the energy gathering there, well aware that the girl was charging an attack of her own. A charismatic shout came from Carla next that confirmed the demoness’ assumption. Gritting her teeth some the pink hair girl knew this was going to end badly for her. The charged blast from her pistols was her best chance to actually gain an advantage against her foe, but not if Carla was going to charge her own attack as well. Thinking quickly Carmen decides to propose a challenge to the girl.

”If you want to test your power against mine, why not let me try out one of my stronger attacks? It’s something I have been working on for a while but never attempted in combat. If you want to see if you can handle it abandon that charge attack and let me get set up. What do ya say?” Carmen would keep her pistols up and charging incase the other female did not accept the challenge and continue to charge her attack. If Carla did agree then the Makaio’s hands would drop to slip her pistols back into their holsters.

(Charge Two – Vulcan Pistols or no charge if Carla accepts the challenge and abandons her charge attack for now. Pick either one. )

[Deleted]

"You have a new attack?" Carla pondered aloud as she held her red, hot fireball in the palms of her hands. She could see the pink aura coming off of Carmen's guns possibly getting stronger and pondered if she should let the pink haired woman take the time to prep a new attack.

"It's going to be hard for me to release this energy if you want to demonstrate a new attack for me. I'll either have to blast you with it here head on to get rid of it, or shoot it somewhere else since it's far too late for me to stop." Carla raised an eyebrow at her adversary and then raised both hands in the air. With little effort put into it, she shot her column of fire straight up, ejecting a power level of fifty six thousand, four hundred, and eighty six above the lookout and into the sky, and thereby avoided a disaster of hurting anyone or anything.

The air became ghastly red, but twenty seconds later the flames dissipated and Carla stood there panting slightly on the lookout's white, stone terrace. She pointed her left index finger at Carmen and demanded, "If you are going to use an attack on me I demand I get to use one attack that's completely new on you. You do not probably know much about the techniques I currently have, but in time I will show you them all."

[Carmen]

Holding her ground Carmen nodded in response to Carla’s question, she did indeed have a new attack she had been working on. Holding both of her guns up still the Makaio was not going to lower them until her foe lowered her own. Watching the other girl still she smirks as the sword aims her hands up into the air. Having sensed the power that had been gathering in the woman’s hands Carmen was not surprised when it was released, but it was impressive to see the pillar of fire blast into the air above them. Even from this distance she could feel the heat, smiling some as the warmth of the attack washed over her. She was glad the attack had not be sent in her direction and now she would be prepared for it in the future since she now knew what it looked like when being charged. Grinning Carmen points her own pistols into the air an fires, pink beams of energy blasting off into the air above the lookout as well.

Smiling still Carmen turns from Carla and starts to walk away, wanting to put more distance between the two of them. Sliding her pistols into their holsters she hums a little as she walks. ”Of course you can show me a new technique; I am showing you one after all.” With her back now turned to the other girl she would not be able to see the smirk that had formed on Carmen’s face. This next attack she planned to use wasn’t exactly your normal Ki blast, but her opponent would find that out when it was used. For several more second she walks away from the girl, humming once again as she starts to concentrate. When she was finally twenty yards or so from her the Makaio summons her new weapon.

Out of thin air a large gun would start to materialize in her hands, her advanced item materialization allowing her to summon more than the average demon. Like the pistols she always carried on her the item she brought forth was a gun, although much larger than a pistol. As it began to take shape in her hands she spins, dropping down into a crouched stance(like in my signature) as she levels the large weapon back in Carla’s direction. Gripping it with both hands as she sets it against her shoulder she grins wide as she looks down the sight, other eyes closed. Channeling Ki into the grips of the weapon it began to hum with power. Watching Carla through the scope Carmen wondered if the girl knew she was getting into, the special little ability of her weapon perfect for these sort of scenarios.


(Charge 1 - Tempest Rifle)

Tempest Rifle – Through her advanced item materialization Carmen can summon forth a sniper rifle in similar fashion to the Vulcan pistols that she normally uses. The advantage of this weapon though is the long range at which the Ki blasts from it can be accurate, capable of hitting a target from up to two miles away. In addition the highly concentrated Ki that fires from the weapon travels at a higher velocity then most Ki blasts, this heightened speed giving it the ability to cut through other Ki attacks of similar power. (Anything that the charge PL of the attack is within 80% of)

[Deleted]

Carla could think of no way to dodge the charging blaster cannon on her foe's back. Nor could she think of a way to block it. So the only thing left for her was complete and utter distraction. She looked down and noted that she had assets that men seemed interested in and pondered, "Maybe my transformation isn't so bad," before raising both her arms up to a spot horizontal from the bottom of ear lobes.

She smirked at her sister as she began to swing her hips and sang, "Look at me! Look at me! I'm pret-ty! Look at me! Look at me! I'm pret-ty!" before blowing her sister a kiss. A strange pink heart formed in front of her and she used her mind to direct it at her sister's current location. The technique? Well, this really wasn't one but for Carla now it seemed to be a new one since she could feel ki drain from her when she had. Today was the rebirth of the infamous Irome. The most embarrassing moment in Carla's life.

Irome:

Carla dances in a seductive manner while singing a strange song. Then she blows her enemies a kiss causing a weird heart to hit them in the face. If they fall for this trick they become distracted, may forget what they are doing for one turn, and must reattempt what they were doing if they do.

[Carmen]

Carmen eyes the girl through the scope of her rifle, smirking as she poured more energy into the gun. For whatever reason Carla made no attempt to charge an attack of her own like the Makaio had thought she would. The girl was young, even if her transformed state looked older, she was still a girl when it came down to it, or at least that is the way Carmen saw it. Gripping her weapon as more energy flows into it, charging the gun even more she was caught completely off guard at what the girl did next. Carmen was once in a while a bit flirtatious, but that was nothing compared to what this girl seemed to entertain herself with.

Still watching her through the scope of her sniper rifle, her other eyes closed, she was bewildered as the girl started to swing her hips. It almost seemed like she was trying to flirt with her…did she not realize that Carmen was not so susceptible to such tactics? Her hips swung and she called out to the Makaio as if trying to draw more attention to her new mature form. Snorting some Carmen was not sure how to react, not really sure if she should react as the girl sang. At the end of it she blew her a kiss, a strange heart shaped thing floating towards her. Little did the demoness know that the attacked was aimed to hit her in the face and distract her, but luck would have it that the way she was positioned saves her.

With her gun up against her face, sight pressed to her eye, the heart isn’t able to hit her fully in the face. Blinking some as the dazing effect makes her hesitate a second she then regains her composure, refocusing on charging Ki into her weapon. ”You’re an odd girl yah know that? You seemed so serious before and now…blowing me kisses. Those tactics may work on male opponents, but they will not work on me.” Pulling her head away from the site of her weapon she winks at Carmen. ”Time to get serious hun.”

(Charge 2)

[Deleted]

Carla stopped dancing the moment she saw her attack had partially missed its actual target. Carla's face turned red and she stomped her feet before shouting, "I'm not going to charge some stupid attack! My power and yours will knock down the tower if we do that! So just fire at me because I've not even fully hit you with that last move! It missed cause of your stupid scope!"

She raised her hands as though to surrender, but Pandora had other things in mind. As a ninja you aren't allowed any defensive techniques, but there is one technique you can use in this situation to stop the blast that will be coming at you. It's called Kiai, but at this rate it won't protect you much. The energy coming off the lady in front of us, this Carmen, definitely has enough power to blow up the tower, but what's more concerning is the fact that since it's all aimed at you it could be a leathal shot.

Carla's mouth slipped into a downward cast frown and she realized the situation. She could not feel energy but she could clearly see the threat of this blaster was going to hurt. You have enough time to tell me this, so um, teach this move real quick so I don't die.

Pandora would answer Okay, here's all you need to know. Gather your ki, scream, and release all at once. That's all there is to it, but as it stands I doubt I'll have time to teach you more since after this next attack I doubt you'll be able to move.

Carla brought her arms in front of her chest, after cutting off her thoughts to Pandora, and began flowing her energies into the core of her body. Once ready, if Carmen fired, Carla would let out a dramatic scream and fire all her remaining energy at the incoming attack. It was her only hope to survive but Carla knew she would have to take the next attack if she wanted to be stronger then she already was.

"Carmen! You're going to eat your words!" she cried. "Just fire your silly blaster at me now that I'm certain I have all my energy flowing into through a central point! It's going to be really bad!"
