Nikolai blinked lightly when Anya grabbed him and pulled him around. He had heard such speeches from Anya before, having traveled with her for a year and a half. He smiled and said, "But Anya, I am paying attention! You should know me by now! Here, want me to prove it?" Nikolai clapped his hands and looked over the people in front of him before pointing out each and every one, "That's Roulin, we came here with him and Cecilia to help him rescue his teammate and his brother from that Owl Raven, the leader of the fallen phoenix. That's Noel Anderson, the god owl and leader of the Night owls. That's Anderson, Roulin's cousin, though they do look a lot alike. That's Amara, that's Aeon, that's Jaylin, that's... the two twins haven't said their names yet, and the recent arrival is Deimos. And You're Anya and I'm Nik. See? I have been paying attention. Just because I act surprised doesn't mean I'm not listening." Nik twirled again, this time stopping facing the direction of all the people and waving lightly as he bobbed to his music. Nik might not have let on how much he was paying attention, but generally he listened to what was needed. Nikolai smiled and thought for a moment before saying, "Sparring? There's an idea. Get a feel for the way our teammates fight, so we can complement their movements when we fight alongside them. If we can judge how they move, we can see what we can do to complement them the most for the best possible effectiveness. Reminds me of my days in the circus." Nik smiled lightly, remembering something that had happened to him earlier in his life, as he still bobbed lightly, his hair blowing around in the wind.

"I didn't mean to insult you, Noel..." Erin said, her smile turning slightly sheepish when she heard Noel's reply. The younger twin held up her hands in front of herself as a way to tell Noel that she hadn't wanted to start a whole argument over this. "I was just wondering what sparring one on one would accomplish. Wouldn't it be better to divide us into two teams and spar that way? Or were you saving that for later?" Erin noticed Roulin's fidgeting and understood why he was doing so. Erin herself didn't want to participate in the hand-to-hand part of the sparring because that sort of fighting was her weakness when it came to not using her powers. Besides, Erin would be able to learn about her team mates while watching them fight as well. "I would be willing to participate, but I don't really want to. If I must though, I really would prefer not to pick my partner either."

Kate did not bother to answer Che's attempt at an apology. Even though she knew he was being sincere in the way he said it, Kate did not react surprised at all. She had, after all, expected an apology anyway. "Apology received." was all Kate said before starting to head for the abandoned warehouse she had indicated. After a moment's pause though, she spoke again. "It was a necessary apology, Che... You did insult me, after all..."

"Don't think you're getting away that easy Roulin!" Anderson said as he pointed towards him. "I've been wondering how I stack up to one of the great four and now I have my chance." He said with a smile. "If I'm going to surpass my father then I need to fight against someone who was on par with his fighting." He laughed a little and looked towards Erin. "Don't worry we don't stick with one training session we'll most likely get to your idea, the only problem is once we start fighting people will no doubt start dividing off into one on one matches anyways, simply out of habit." He looked towards Noel and nodded to her. "But you're right, we get so wrapped up in our own fights, or our own powers we seem to lapse over the thoguht that we can work as a team, it's a little embarrassing to admit but it's a simple truth."

((Oh this is hard, seems like nobody wants to pick so I'll try to pick according to my memory)) Noel listened to everyone speak once again and was glad that Anderson felt where she was coming from. "Okay it's settled....Roulin against Anderson" she said. "I'll pick the rest..." she said observing everyone. "Okay, Nikolai you and Cecilia are against each other." she said looking again. "Um....Elle....you and Jaylin" she said. "Aeon...you and Anya...." she said parring them off. She had to think who else was left. "Amara you and Demios will be paired off with each other" she mentioned. She then looked at Erin who seemed to be left alone. "Is there anyone who would mind doing a three way?" she asked.
Vincent was really into the game he had just received but then paused it when the mysterious lady came in. He adjusted himself to listen to what he had to say. Vincent was only a child but he didn't trust her. When everyone was giving bullshit answers trying to get a wish granted he stood up and walked towards her. "Who the hell are you, you hag?" he questioned. "And what's so damn special about your wishes?" he questioned her curiously.

Jaylin LaQuiel
Jaylin looked to Noel who finally responded shortly after he had, he knew that they were going to help but what he wasn't expecting is the training session the Night Owl leader suggested. "Well come to think of it, Moli did mention that he was so I guess that would make you Italian as well and yes I guess we will have to take the job." He replied to Roulin. He gave the idea of sparring with his teammates a thought as he listened to the group try to figure out why and from the thought came a grim smile, he was getting pumped just by thinking of the combat. "Well since I know very little about any of you I guess I will partake in the event." He stated trying to hide his glee as the smile dropped. "Though it matters not who I am partnered with just as long it isn't one of these pretty ladies." He didn't want to fight any of them in hand to hand combat for the simple fact that sometimes he can get lost in his own lust and sometimes get a little carried away. Though it would seem his leader had chosen against his favor and this didn't please Jaylin very well but as a new member he wasn't going to make a fuss and would only hope that the girl known as Elle will give him that rush and thrill his fiends for. "Well I guess I have no choice and if anyone else doesn't if its okay with Elle even though its her sister I don't mind." He spoke aloud as well as answered Noel's question of a three way spar.

Demios smiled as he was welcomed, most of them he hadn't seen in a long time. He had hoped to get to socialize before combat, but he knew they couldn't afford to procrastinate. When Noel made the sparing pairs Demios was actually happy to hear his, he had wanted to face Amara for some time. He walked over to her "I'm glad we're facing each other, as the former host of mind and the current host of body I think we can learn to work well together" He said. He had to admit when Noel had mentioned hand to hand combat he was worried, it was one of his weak points. He looked at Amara after a second "I want you to know not to hold back, no one should..." He said. He paused for a moment remembering New York. "The Fallen Phoenix are at a point where they wont listen to reason if we hold back at all we're goners" He added. He looked to everyone for a moment "We need to fight as hard as we can even against each other because if we don't then why did we come here" He said. He then returned his gaze to Amara "I know you don't have the phoenix anymore, but I know you are still strong...I want you to fight me like I was your worst enemy" He said. He then got into a fighting stance ready to spar.

Kojiro looked up towards the two with a confused look, however he seemed to be wearing his normal, sleepy-eyed look as usual, any signs of pain or sadness were once again buried deep in his heart. He blinked a few moments as his vision finally sharpened and Nats questions and answers finnaly registered,"...New York?...Other OWLs?" he repeated quietly. As Nat held onto him Kojiro was somewhat caught offguard, for some reason though, perhaps the combination of chaos and sadness in that one day, the feeling of someone holding him seemed to wash the stench away, Kojiro's arms reached back and gently hugged Nathaniel as well,"...I'm sorry for worrying you...I will try not to be so reckless..." he said softly, he looked at Ana and Nat once again and smiled slightly,"..Thank you guys..." he mumbled, "Raven was worried too?...I see...she must be doing something very important..." he figured. Kojiro wondered about his dream, but figured it was not something to worry others with for the time being. His eyes looked towards Ana just as she put her sunglasses on, something caught his eye, however the way she was hiding it, he figured it would be wise to bring it up to her in private. Kojiro took a breath and gathered his thoughts, it was probably best not to cause anymore worry,"...Perhaps I am a little hungry..." he mumbled sheepishly

Amara was surprised when she heard her name. She wasn't even apart of the Night OWLs. A part of her began to worry a little bit. Was she stable enough to even spar? Doubt began to creep into her mind. She doubted anyone else knew about her multiple personality disorder. She looked at everyone else as they began to partner and link up. She then walked over towards Demios and looked at him. She took in his speech, but she still remembered what she had to do to ensure that the world would be at peace, but she would worry about that when the time came. She then took an offensive stance as she began to throw punches very quickly towards Demios, mixing in several kicks. Perhaps if Demios would have stayed with the UNS, his fighting would have improved like hers.

Demios could tell that for a short time Amara's mind appeared to be elsewhere. He knew it probably had to due with a lot of things. Neither of their lives had been that good growing up, they were taken from their homes, raised in the UNS, they never knew what a real life was. While Amara wondered about if Demios's fighting skills would have improved he couldn't help but wonder if she had joined the Night Owls if she would have lived a happier life. He looked around and noticed he and Amara were the first two to enter combat. Once she started attacking he knew it was go time. He was hit by her punches off and on working his best to block, but her kicks caught him off guard and he slid back from impact. He smirked and looked at her "Glad to see your skills haven't slipped now let me show you mine" He said. With that he rushed at her and did an uppercut before beginning his own series of punches and kicks. It was obvious he didn't have the training or skill that Amara had, but he wasn't a push over either.

Amara was hit by the uppercut as she flew into the air and began to fall, but landed on her hands and sprung to her feet. She was able to dodge his punches and kicks because they were slow. She then rushed Demios appearing to throw a punch but used his shoulders as support as she was upside down, pushing off of him, she wrapped her legs around his neck, taking a sitting stance on Demios. She then lunged all of her weight forwards, attempting to slam him into the ground with great impact. In her mind she began to think of the events of her life....but focused on the battle as well.

Demios was surprised by Amara redirecting him and causing him to smash into the floor. He did his best to rise quickly, but it was easier to think than to do. He decided he'd have to be more creative to win in hand to hand against Amara. He rushed at her and went to punch her before doing a sliding kick. It was then that he began to think back to times when they were younger like when they were in the UNS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------Flashback-------------------------------------------------
He remember one time they got into a huge fight, Armand had convinced Demios that it would be fun to pull a prank on Amara. However, what Armand thought was harmless and what Demios did were two different things. He ended up getting bubble gum stuck in Amara's hair just above the neck. He was sure she had nearly killed him before Armand stepped in and saved her hair. It was several hours before Demios could be convinced to apologize.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Demios blinked as he was drawn out from his flashback. He quickly stood up, but something was off his body had a dark blue almost purple glow radiating from it, one he didn't notice, but he still felt strange. He didn't realize it was his abilities triggering from his memories. He quickly rushed at her and tried to elbow her before back handing her. He was trying a less organized style of fighting, but he knew it was his best shot.

Amara looked at Demios as she fell to the ground from the sliding kick. When he threw his elbow at her she grabbed it. "You're still fighting the same way from when you were a child Demios" she said as she twisted his arm backwards, raising her leg upwards and decending it down between her grasp and his arm.
-------------------------------------
Amara was furious. Armand had saved her hair but Laharl still didn't appologize and when he did...it wasn't sincere. She kicked in his door furious. "You twerp, why in the heck did you do that?" she asked him. The young psion was angry. Her mental abilities were no where at the level they were at now. She still relied heavily on her "luck" abilities, which was her body's way of using small amounts of telekinesis to make an event probable. She had a rock in her hand as she tossed it in the air. "Now appologize....NOW!" she demanded.

(Just so no one is confused by the name change who is new to the Owls, Demios formerly went by Laharl, but changed his name smile ) Demios couldn't help but feel annoyed when she blocked his attack and hurt his arm. However, when she went to leg drop him he forced himself back knocking him into her and hopefully screwing up her balance. "You know what Amara you still hit like a girl" he said. He then jumped back giving them some distance "So got any other tricks up your sleeve" He said.----------------------------------------------- Demios frowned as he herd Amara attacking his door, he knew Che would likely ream them out for damaging property and give them some cheesy line about working together. Much like Amara's weakened psionics his magic was pretty low level too, so far all he could do was simple incantations. "I thought it would be funny! and it was!" He yelled at her. He looked away in an irritated tone of his own "Besides Armand said pranks make people smile and your always grumpy with me" He said. He looked at the rock in her hand "Besides your always a meanie!" He yelled at her.

((I just remembered that they all have brands given to them when they were captured by the UNS)) Amara stumbled but regained her composure as she looked at Demios and heard his comment. "Maybe because I am a girl" she retorted back. Looking at her hand memories flushed back into her mind. She then looked at Demios as she began to rush towards him, her kicks nothing but a blur. This was just a distraction as with every five kicks came a point from her fingers. She was utilizing pressure points on Demios, attempting to take out the use of his arms first then the rest would follow if she was successful.
-----------------------------------------------
Amara rolled her eyes. "You're so basic" she said harshly. "What part of getting gum stuck in MY hair was funny?" she asked him. "I'm sorry that I would rather read and better my mind that to wine around like a baby because I don't want to be here and try to pull pranks like you" she said. She looked at the rock and threw it with precise aim and speed, due to her 'luck'. "Sometimes I wish they would send you out into a real battle so we wouldn't have to worry about seeing your useless but back here" she said harshly. Amara was a real b***h as a kid...so her words were like strong venom.
