Practice, Practice, Practice

[Linkara]

Linkara noddedd to Critic "Then I have only thing to say to you. Enguarde!" With that he thrusted his sword gently at Critic's sword. He grinned madly, now glad he was back in his good humour.

....

Paw grinned "Both of you are doing very well. Now then, let's try defending." He pulled out a plastic sword and turned to Chester "Now, try to block my attacks, it wouldn't hurt if you miss!"

....

Harvey grinned at her cheefully "Nice shot Lottie. You're getting good. Now then-" he pulled out a stick of chalk and painted a small X "See if you could hit this from here."

Maleficent watched Grimhilde’s progress through critical eyes. She was getting a little better with dodging attacks, but it was clear that this was taking a toll on her body. The fairy shook her head.

“You can’t make it obvious that you’re tired!” she called to the queen. “If you do, your opponent will only increase their attacks and may even attempt capture. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth. I know it might sound difficult, but you can never stop moving to breathe on the battlefield.”

Grimhilde’s next words brought a smirk to Maleficent’s lips. So she wanted ice, did she?

The next second, a sheet of glimmering white frost oozed from her emerald-tipped staff – the same frost that so often brought an end to Flora’s precious little flowers. Within moments, the frost hardened into a multitude of pointed icicles, each one directed at Grimhilde.

[Queen Grimhilde]

Grimhilde nodded.

"I know. But I haven't exactly done this before. Once I get used to it that won't be a problem." said Queen Grimhilde.

When Maleficent sent a blast of icicles at her Queen Grimhilde dodged the few she could and swiped at one with her sword breaking the icicle in half and showering snow over her. She ducked another one narrowly in time as it smashed to the ground behind her. She knew Maleficent probably wouldn't directly hurt her but this was a training session. There wasn't time for making a few mistakes. Once the icicles were all gone she was proud she'd avoided getting hurt aside from a couple bruises when she'd shoved herself to the ground to dodge the barrage of iciciles.

"Well at least I'm improving." said Queen Grimhilde.

She then charged at Maleficent with her sword raised. She doubted she'd get far enough to hurt her but she knew in a real battle she couldn't just dodge and defend. She had to counter attack as well if she hoped to succeed. And as powerful as Maleficent was she could unleash any of her magic or turn herself into a dragon if necessary. She doubted many of them matched Maleficent's power but they were strong enough to cause damage to anyone. She had to be prepared for anything Maleficent might throw at her in this training session.

[Nostalgia Critic]

90's kid smiled "Radical notion dude!" Then he stated to Paw in a friendly manner "Thanks dude. Hey! Do you have any martial art signature moves maybe you wanna show us dude?"
XXXX

Sherlock nodded "Follow me to the woods" Sherlock then walked to the forest expecting linksano to join him. He then replied looking to a gun sherlock actually borrowed from the practicing weapons part of the training site "Get ready to aim dear doctor"
XXXX

Snob nodded "Alright. Don't expect much out of me though, swords are not my talented knack" With that he struck at her pretend sword with ease
XXXX

Critic smiled at Linkara and replied happily, as if with a old friend "En guarde is right, good sir. Take this!" With that he made a pretend hearty laugh as he aimed his sword at linkara's
XXXX

Spoony looked to the practice dummy and replied "Aw cool!" He smiled at his gun darkly and said to his own dummy "Yo! Move! Wanna piece of me?!" The dummy moved side to side and spoony just shot his gun right at it, somehow still being successful
XXXX

Bambi seeing IHeart no longer accompaning him, went over to the trees by his lonesome and pretended to train in order to pass the time
XXX

Kiara replied to Sarafina with happiness and determination "OK grammy! I'm ready for anything!"
XXXXX

Lottie nodded and pointed the gun straight at the X. She closed her eyes then BANG! The gun went off. She looked to Harvey and asked "Did I get it?"

[Deleted]

"Okay Kiara , first of all in the pinnig trick , the other lion have to run while he jumps at you , You should put your back paws to press his tummy and you flip with the other lion and then you pin him hard on the ground like this ." Sarafina tried to pin Kiara on the ground , the older lioness smiled at the cub .

xxxx

Rachel tried to still practise with her knife , she tried to poke , stab , swing and slash and Rachel said to herself :"God why I can't do it really good , hmm maybe I need more practising ." Rachel said to herself.

[Marzgurl]

Chester nodded raising her sword preparing for Paw to attack him.

"I'll do my best." said Chester.

He heard 90's Kid and nodded.

"Yeah. I'd love to see some cool fighting movies." said Chester.

XXXX

Linksano nodded following him as he picked up a gun and nodded.

"Alright. This should be a great way to start out." said Linksano.

He then fired his laser gun firing at the targets.

XXXX

"Well I'm not that great at this either. But that's what we're practicing for." said Nani.

When he swung his sword at her she smiled.

"You're not as bad as you think you are." said Nani.

She smiled as their sword fight continued.

XXXX

Goggles smiled before shifting her laser blaster into a sword.

"Well I think I'm going to take a break and start on my sword fighting." said Goggles.

She moved a bit away from the training practice seeing Linksano and Sherlock Holmes had joined them off to the side. Once she was clear of anyone else she began swinging her small sword trying to get used to it.

Marzgurl kept firing her laser pistol at the moving target. This was kind of fun. She saw Goggles had left and Sherlock and Linksano had joined them a few feet away. She waved to them and kept firing.

[Deleted]

“That would be the whole point of this little session, now wouldn’t it?” Maleficent muttered under her breath, watching as Grimhilde dodged icicle after icicle. She was even using her sword to cut some of them down to size. It was quite an improvement considering a few minutes ago, the queen had stared blankly at a lightning bolt coming straight at her.

Maleficent had just given a small nod of approval – an impressive feat in and of itself – when Grimhilde suddenly bore down on her, sword drawn. The fairy reacted purely on instinct, firing a bolt of lightning at Grimhilde – again, not one powerful enough to actually kill her – and dodging out of the way just in case the queen thought to do the same. The dragon within her began to stir, aching to come out and remind her opponent who was in charge.

Not long now, Maleficent thought to herself, watching Grimhilde carefully. Not long now…

[IHeart]

Kiara was suddenly pinned down by Sarafina. She smiled back and replied "Ok! I'll try now! I'm ready for it!" Excitedly, Kiara got out of Sarafina's grip and aimed for the old lion's front, trying to tip her so she can pin sarafina herself down
XXXX

Sherlock, not used to the technology of the world, immediately jumped in fear. He turned to Linksano and replied nervously "Was that one of your inventions? What was that thing? Do forgive me but as you can tell I do not know what it is" He hoped linksano would understand and explain. He felt like a boy, completely childish. He did smile again when goggles waved, he in turn waved.
XXXXX

Spoony grinned as goggles got the sword out. Wow. Honestly tough women are really hot He thought as she saw her fighting. He turned to Marzgurl who was firing at the practice dummies. Heh. He needed to start again. Aiming his anti-magic gun straight at the farest target, he clicked the trigger and BOOM! The practice dummy's head went clean off
XXXX

Snob smiled "Hey! Thanks! I think I am getting better!" With that he carefully but firmly went for nani's bottom half of the training weapon. He tried to be as careful but tough as possible.
XXXX

"Enguarde indeed! Champion!" Critic mocked as he aimed his sword again to Linkara. He was pretty much in a better mood now. He believed that maybe things were turning up
XXXX

Splinter and IHeart were in the medical bay and splinter spoke before leaving "Stay here alright. It is dangerous to you medically to move so quickly. Stay please"

IHeart nodded and with that Splinter left to go back to Donny. Splinter then replied "Now donatello back to your training" Donny nodded and aimed his stick again at Splinter
XXXX

Bambi looked around for the others. He then saw Chester, Paw and 90's kid. 90's kid while on the sidelines looked to Bambi "Hey little animal dude! What's up?"

"IHeart's sick and I just want to be around training. Mind if I join you?" Bambi asked

"Totally! Hey guys! Bambi wants to train with us! Is that alright?" 90's kid asked
XXXXX

Lottie turned to Harvey "Um dear? Did I hit it wrong or something. A bang is what I'm supposed to hear right?" Lottie kept asking worried that she did something wrong

[harv]

Harvey had been examining the tree while Lottie fretted, but he turned around quickly to reassure her "No, your supposed to hear a bang. Very good, in fact-" he looked at the tree "You are extremely good at this. Are you sure you haven't done this before?"

...

Linkara nudged Critic's sword upwards, and then parried again and the Critic. Things were indeed looking up.

[Deleted]

Rachel still practised with her knife , poking , stabbing , swinging and slashing , She thought in her head :"Maybe I'm improving but I need a partner to practise with ."Rachel thought in her head as she still practised the moves with her knife , the spoiled woman sighed .

(OOC : Poor Rachel can some will practise with her please ?)
xxxx

"Yeah okay I'm ready too ."Sarafina said to Kiara .

Sarafina felt that Kiara tried to aim at her and felt Kiara 's pinning and she fell on her back and she smiled and said :"Very good Kiara ."Sarafina said as she looked at the cub above her.

[Elisa/Maven Of The Eventide]

Grimhilde raised her sword to deflect it. It did bounce back but the force from the blast shoved her backwards as well. She frowned realizing she miscalcuated how strong it was. She got to her feet and charged at Maleficent again. She didn't want to have to rely on the others or on Maleficent whom she'd started to consider a good friend. She wanted to be able to useful in this war aside from making potions and she hoped with a few more training sessions she would be. She picked up a potion tossing it at Maleficent. If it hit or not it would be a distraction she'd need as she got closer to her trying to aim for her staff. She doubted she'd get far today on her first try but if this was a real battle she knew removing a sorceror's staff would weaken them. Although she doubted it would weaken Maleficent that much.

XXXX

Linksano smiled waving at Goggles before turning back to Sherlock.

"I recreated these. They're modeled after ones on a tv show used by super heroes." said Linksano.

He glanced at his laser and paused realizing the laser said Zyuranger. He sighed. He most of forgotten to not copy the letters when he'd made them.

"They fire beams of energy which you can fire at the targets. But for close ranger combat..."

Linksano paused as he pressed a button on the side as he folded the blaster down and it became a sword.

"Now you have a small sword to defend yourself with. It's a close range and long range weapon rolled into one." said Linksano.

He returned his Blade Blaster to its laster form as he began firing at the targets again.

XXXXX

Marzgurl applauded him.

"Impressive. Good think you have a lot of practice with weapons. Between you and Linkara I think you could teach us all how to use these a lot better." said Marzgurl.

XXXX

Nani pulled back in time trying to remember what Morpheus had taught her.
She smiled and swung back at Snob's sword trying to push him back or at least knock him over. She wanted to get better and figured they shouldn't go easy on each other just because they were friends. The enemy definitely wouldn't and she wanted to be prepared for her next battle or the rescue.

XXXX

Chester turned to see Bambi join them. He nodded feeling a bit sorry it had recently lost its mother.

"Sure. You're welcome to join us. I guess you can't train with a sword though. But there's enough trees around for you to practice on." said Chester.

XXXXX

Elisa saw Rachel training by herself and walked over to her.

"Do you want to train with me?" asked Elisa.

XXXX

Goggles gathered Jasmine, Roses, and Tender Heart into a group seeing they didn't have partners as they began training as a small group to avoid bumping into one of the others fighting. They began practicing with their swords while Tender Heart practiced his Care Bear Stare.

[Spoony]

Sherlock looked at the blaster/sword with great interest. He grinned happily completely intrigued with the technology that Linksano. Linksano's explainations to him about said invention and was impressed. He then smirked asking "I suppose you want me to try it out?"
XXXXX

Spoony bowed to Marzgurl "Thank you thank you. I am awesome. Anyways, sure. I think I'll help you out now if you want" Spoony then gave a kind and voluntary gesture for Goggles as well, knowing about her being there as well.
XXXXX

Critic blocked Linkara's attack. He couldn't help but smirk "Well now warrior with a pretty hat. Think you can handle THIS!" With that he aimed to tap linkara's stomach. He laughed while attacking.
XXXX

Lottie blushed "No. I swear. Never done it before. Thank ya. Glad I did good" She was pleased she didn't hit anything serious and was glad Harvey was impressed with her.
XXXX

"Thanks! So uh what do you want me to do?" Bambi asked looking to 90's kid, Paw and Chester. 90's kid ruffled the deer's head and replied gently "Pretty much charge into things and use weapons if you can little dude"

[Marzgurl]

Linksano nodded.

"Have you used a gun before? It's similar. It just fires a laser instead of bullets. Just aim for the target and pull the trigger and it'll fire at it. Just try it out. Spoony's been doing this for years so he's a lot better than most of us." said Linksano.

XXXX

Goggles turned seeing Spoony wave to her rejoin them. She said goodbye the to others heading back to try practicing her aim again.

"So you giving out lessons?" asked Goggles.

"Thanks. Well she can go first. I'll just watch." said Marzgurl.

She smiled slipping away giving them time together as she resumed firing herself. She knew something had happened between them. They didn't confirm or deny anything yet so she'd have to wait and see.

XXXX

Jasmine & Roses kept swinging their swords while they trained. Tender Heart shot his Care Bear Stare at them and they deflected it with their swords as it struck a tree instead.

"Nice job. Tender Heart. I think you're getting better." said Roses.

Tender Heart smiled. He knew his stare was powerful with more Care Bears but he hoped he could at least protect his friends with it.

XXXXX

"Maybe you should just stick to charging at things. I suppose he could carry something in his mouth but it'd be harder for him to use it with hands." said Chester.

[Deleted]

A smirk crossed Maleficent’s dark lips as the lightning bolt pushed Grimhilde away from her. The blast was redirected well enough, something that pleased the dark fairy. Her pupil was learning.

Blinking at the odd choice of words, Maleficent almost didn’t notice when the queen charged her. Surprised, she had no time to dodge the potion that was tossed at her. The bottle landed inches away from her, shattering on contact with the ground and sending thick smoke everywhere.

How ironic. The weapon I helped design is now being used against me.

In the confusion, Maleficent felt a pressure on her staff and quickly realized that Grimhilde was trying to get it away from her. Gritting her teeth, she pushed back with as much force as she could.

“And just for that…”

When the smoke cleared, a dragon stood in Maleficent’s place.

[Deleted]

Rachel heared Elisa asking her to train with her and Rachel replied :"Uh sure why not ."Rachel replied to Elisa , similing at her and green eyes looked at Elisa . Rachel still held her knife , she needed to train with another girl .
