Xyran sighed as he walked up to the punching bag and started wailing on it as hard as he could muster, "Not well the losses were far to many" he said disappointingly.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 19):

She was now exhausted and came to a slow stop. She let her lungs recover before she spoke. I cant believe i actually dropped weapons on civilians. This is a first for me. she gave a grim look to the occulty soldier.

Xyran stopped for a moment before responding, "After a while you get used to it as sick as that sounds... you have to remember in times of war its you or them... war isint a pretty thing it leaves scars... ones that never heal..."

In reply to Xyran (msg # 21):

she sighed a bit thinking about it, then leaned up against the wall next to the punching bag to continue the conversation.

Just to think I'm doing all this to get away from my ex.....wow I'm stupid. she then let her thoughts drift. she was somewhat shocked on how easy it was to speak to someone else now.

Well, I'm just going to sit back and observe your technique, OK?
she was exhausted and she kept her thoughts in check usually by improving herself, so learning from xyran was not a far stretch.

Xyran turned to her and said simply, "You do what you have to do Nat to be happy and gods be damned if you see the opportunity... grab it with both hands and to hell with the consequences I say"

"Fair enough" Xyran said as he planted his feet and took a deep breath before in a moment of great agility and technique unleashes a lightning fast flurry of jabs and hooks on the punching bag before finishing it off with a deadly roundhouse kick.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 23):

Nat watched every detail as xyran showed his skill. she was fascinated and could not hope to match him.

so what style do you use and who taught you?

Xyran was still punching the bag, "Its a more advanced form of Occui spec ops CQC, used only by the Elghasek, my mentor... taught it to me" He was then reminded of general Xar and it only served to piss him off further so he did the only reasonable thing and hit the bag harder.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 25):

well, they taught you well.
she said catching her breath. using the near by wall to prop her tired body up. she began to realize merely watching him only served to remind her that her hand to hand was basic defense at best.

"You could learn some of the basics if you devote a little time and effort towards it" after hitting the bag a few more times he stopped and turned his full attention back to Nat.

Natalie let out a slight grin as Xyran turned to her.

I guess this is the part where continue where we left off on the beach?she said crystal clear as her body recovered quite a bit from the bike.

Xyran nodded he then took a few steps back as he assumed a fighting stance, "Absolutely now lets see your form, one you feel comfortable with using and if you wish to use safety equipment for this exercise now is the time to put it on... i warn you Nat im a tough teacher"

In reply to Xyran (msg # 29):

Nat bent her leg slightly and led with he left foot. her left hand led while both  hand remained in a relaxed state.

best way to learn is to get beat first right?

Xyran grinned, "You never know until you try... now have at you!" Xyran rushed forward and lead with a fast leg sweep targeted at the knees.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 31):

Nat tried to take a step back to avoid the attack but the reflexes of a pilot were no match for lightning fast spec ops fighter with years of experience. she managed to get the right leg out of harms way but the left leg was hit and flung into the air knocking her off balance. she flung her right arm back in a desperate effort to stay on her feet. the options for xyran were many at this point.

Xyran let her regain her balance then walked over and corrected her form to help with her center of balance, "Place your feet like this and shift your body like so, that way you can defend yourself properly against being thrown off guard and even counter attack the key is to not exchange blows with your opponent but to hit the correct spots"

Xyran started pointing to various parts of his body, Eyes,Nose,Neck,knee, "Remember these locations... now again" Xyran then preformed the same leg sweep but this time he expected Nat to use her new found knowledge to aid her in blocking the attack and even countering.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 33):

Nat tried the new stance out, it was somewhat strange to her so she adjusted it to be somewhat like the one she learned from basic training. but she kept the main focus of what she learned, stay flexible. when faced with the same kick which she now knew a bit more about thanks to the first strike she put all her weight into her left leg so it would not be moved by the blow. after which she then sent a jab from her right arm to his gut remembering the second thing he said

Xyran took the blow and staggered back but quickly regained his composure, "Very good Nat don't let up!" he then assumed a defensive stance and watched her next moves.

Berkley stayed close, and immediately went on the offensive after xyran encouragement. she turned about 15 degrees to the right and brought her left to her right hand which took grip of her left fist. she then thrusted forward with her left elbow putting all her body weight and all the force both her arms working together could muster into the attack.

From Xyran's perspective it seemed like slow motion as he fell flat to the floor on his back to avoid the elbow being thrown at him but that left him with a near clear shot to her gut which he then thrusted his right foot up towards full force.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 37):

Nat grabbed her gut for a brief second as the pain settled in her gut but immediately took a few steps back out of xyrans reach. she figured speed nor power were in here favor here. she knew this and knew xyran probably knew it to, though the experienced soldier would not underestimate any opponent. she would let xyran get back up if he decided to and used the time to think of her next move.

very impressive, though im not the best sparing partner.

Xyran laid there and chuckled before he responded in a more serious tone, "You have the potential to be an excellent unarmed fighter Nat... but without the desire and will to improve it means nothing... the most important thing you will gain more then anything is confidence and im willing to work with you for as long as it takes to see you achieve that... never doubt yourself"

After his little motivational speech he stood up slowly and dusted himself off curious on what Nat's next move was.

In reply to Xyran (msg # 39):

Nat wiggled her fingers to loosen them up. She then moved her fists around a bit trying to "telegraph" a punch. She then inched forward keeping her fist at face level moving them around a bit.when she got close enough sh stuck her left foot between xyrans and grabbed his right arm with both hands. She then attempted to pull in using her body weight letting her right knee touch the ground, and her left leg tripping his right.she had hoped her deception would work.

Xyran saw through the deception but didn't act on it immediately as he let himself get moved around by her grab, as Nat was ready to make the final trip attack on his right leg, Xyran's left hand shoots out lightning fast to grab her clothing and attempt to pull her down with him to the floor as he was falling.

Natalie was pulled down to the floor with Xyran unexpectedly. in order to take control of the situation she moved legs on top of xyrans and kept a hold of his arm. she had seen the move she had attempted done a few times, it used pressure points instead of strength. however she did not know how it would effect xyran considering it was only proven to work on human, if she could actually pull it off.
she then pulled on the arm and firmed up her legs.

the move nat is trying to do is an armbar from brazilian jiu jitsu. here a pic of it if you dont know what it is.

By the time Gethin arrived, his nerves were starting to reform. The shock he had taken to Hack's sudden cruelty had put him on edge, and shattered his trust in the military. He still trusted them, and hie could still give them his life; however, deep down he could fee, his distrust and anger. He moved to run, anything really, to keep his mind off.
He stumbled, often bumping into others and quickly apologizing before leaving. It was an awkward time for him, he didn't really know where he was suppose to go, and he kept trying to avoid everyone. He finally bumped into what was possibly the seventh person before noticing something to keep him occupied. He apologized, lowering his head in shame, before walking towards the two people fighting, it was a human female and a Occui. It was obviously a teaching lesson, atleast to the more skilled Occui.
