The bear like guardian raised a paw, slamming it hard on the ground. A crack spread in the ground, jagged rocks beginning to shoot up through the ground as it made its' way towards them. He thought for a moment then smiled. "Leo use the rocks" the guardian jolted forward, jumpping ont the rocks as they shot out of the ground one by one, making his way towards the other guardian. He listened to what the other guy had to say and nodded, though he never took his eyes off of the battle. The bear like guardian moved up on its' hind paws, raising its' claws for another strike. He needed to think fast, he had to avoid the claws and get in a good attack. "Charge, dodge and then dischargee Leo" he said, his mind working quickly. He was a lot like his dad here, fast pace battles and thinking on his feet were mostly the strategy, along with avoiding getting hit, a lot of luck, and winging it.

He had a lot of fun with this kind of strategy, even if people thought he was foolish for doing it. Leo began to charge energy, pulses of electric energy began to flow through his coat. The guardian brought its' claws down with a crash on the rocks, breaking them into pieces. That kind of power would do a lot of damage if it landed a solid hit. As Leo jumped out of the way, he gave a roar. The energy he had been taking in is unleashed in a flash of yellow light and electric waves hitting the guardian hard. It slid back, flinching and growling as the currents rippled through its' body leaving behind ripples of electric energy on its' body. Lexus smiled, as Leo landed down by him "that was great Leo." The guardian looked up at him, and gave a happy growl. So far things were going well, he looked over at the other male, and slightly blushed. He probrably looked like a rash child, and for a moment he had forgotten about him being there. Now he was a bit self concious.

Devin still had her eyes closed. She was frowning and her eyebrow twitched. She wasn't just about to let this dragon make a fool of her and if she didn't get him under control now, that's exactly what he'd do. Maybe she could have Rama put him in his place. She sat up and stared angrily at the dragon. Devin had had him locked away in his capsule for so long, he was probably just hungry, and mad. She could understand that. Though he still pissed her off.

She stood up and put her weight on one leg, cocking her hips to the side as she crossed her arms. She didn't feel like going back into town, so she figured she'd let Nash stretch his wings and hunt for his own food. What she didn't know about Nash was that although she'd seen him eat large animals, he preferred other guardians. She frowned as they stared each other down. "Well, go on. Go find something to eat."

Nash looked at Devin with fierce golden eyes. In that moment, they seemed to finally connect a little. She understood he needed more freedom and he understood that if he didn't return, he'd have hell to pay. In the next moment, Nash was off the ground and soaring over the trees. He cast an ominous shadow over the grounds below as he flew, searching for a heard of ox, or other easy targets, possibly small and new guardians.

Devin shielded her eyes from the sun as she watched him disappear over the trees. She huffed. Stupid dragon.

Anastasia free fell through the air and was still watching as Tangea chased after her as her green hair fluttered up around her face. She laughed as she broke through the clouds and then spread her arms and legs out as to slow her fall slightly. She as she did so Tangea broke through the clouds after her and went past her and levelled out under Anastasia. Anastasia had turned around to face down and once she saw Tangea was below her she shifted herself so that she would land on her feet on Tangea’s back.

Landing softly onto Tangea’s back while bending her knee’s as to not hurt herself Anastasia laughed and smiled saying “That was great, Tangea! You did great!” as she walked up to her head and sat down on top of it and looked out. Tangea let out a soft moan and Anastasia smiled and said “Yeah, Yeah I get it, but hey it worked didn’t it.” She sat there and petted the top of Tangea’s head.

Looking out at the shy and what it looked like beneath the clouds Anastasia smiled and said “It is amazing out here Tangea, that man really was right.” She brushed a stray green hair out of her amber eyes and looked down at what the world looked like below the cloud line. She was thankful though for living up in the clouds, to her it was peaceful and she felt safe there. She was just glad that she could get out and see the rest of Terra.

He clapped, watching the dragon vanish out over the trees. He wore his cloak as usual, fixing the hood a bit as he stepped down off of some rocks. He had used Rah to teleport himself to Rōmu, and had used the mutated guardian to obtain his cloak. He stepped over to the female as she trained, placing his hands behind his back. "Having a bit of trouble are we?" he spoke calmly and monotonly. His voice a bit deeper, and his face fully hidden by the hood. This was how the others in NOVA saw him as. They had no need to know who the man benieth the mask was. They were well to do as they were told, and got much in return. He looked back at the female for a moment and he noticed her every move. She was stressed and annoyed with the guardian, for it did not seem interested at all in following her orders. It was still very much wild, and it would prove not an easy one to tame. Its' kind was not easy to tame normally anyways, but it would be interesting to see if the female could do it. If she could, perhaps he would reward her.

Ronan watched the fight, taking in it all, it was clear that monkey like wolf and Lexus were in sync. Not may were, much like him and Silas, they were in sync all the time even when not in battle, though he had to admit that he was very impressed. Sure it seem like he was being rash and just charging in but it wasn't like he never done that, in fact he still does that sometimes but things had changed for him and he had changed. He could see the strategy playing out, smiling as he watched the battle ensue. When it seemed to come to a stand still, he moved over towards Lexus, clapping slightly as he grinned, pulling the male close to his chest as he looked down at him.

"Your rather talented though you should put more thought into your plan before you go charging in." he chuckled to him as he caressed his face with his fingers before he let him go, turning towards Laila whom had came out of her capsul, growling at the guardians that were around them, he instinctively reached out to calm her down only to fall through her.

he gave a sheepish smile before he looked up at Laila again, chuckling to him self as he looked towards the other guardians before he cursed to him self, whispering into Laila's ear, telling her to move around the bear-like guardian and keep him occupied for Leo. Though all he got was her snapping at him again before she ran around the creature, teasing it as she flicked rocks into its' face, ducking into trees when it charged at her.

Lexus looked up at the male, then at Leo when he backed off. This guy was a strange one, he was shy and out there, and cocky and bold to. Lexus shook his head, calling Leo back into his capsule before stepping back. He would allow the other to finish, seeing how he faired in the bettle himself. The bear guardian growing more angry. It reared uo on its hind legs once more, slamming its feet into the ground so the ground shook with a strong force. Lexus stepped back against a tree, looking at the other male "careful" he says. The guardian roared, the shaking getting stronger. Large sharp rocks jolting out of the ground, blocking off many of the trees and spiking around him. Lexus wondered what the other would do in reaction to the quake attack.

Raven had just landed on Sōru. He was headed towards Battle City, the tournament was coming soon and he was looking to sign up. Marlow would be a fine flying guardian, but if he needed to find another, he would do as needed. He stepped off onto the ground, and looked around. Ruins were around the ports, and many were already hitting the trails to go up to the city. He leaned against a rock, waiting for his bike. He needed to find a place to stay as soon as he got into the city. He needed something to keep him busy until the other competitors arived. He was interested to see who his competitors were, if they were even worth his time. He figured most of them would be to afraid to go up against him. Even now, people were staring at him. He siged, and shook his head. He waited for his bike to be brought down.

Ronan glanced at the male as he called his guardian back into its' capsul, he sighed slightly, he had wanted to see how well he could work with others but it was clear that he was not that type of surger. He then called out Silas, scratching his head as he watched the bear creature cause a earth quake again, he quickly spread his legs out more slightly as he could keep his ground. "Laila, weave and then NightingGale. Silas, bite." he said to his guardians as he smiled, his wolf companion howled to the sky before her eyes begin to glow bright blue before she howled even louder, it was an ear piercing howl that did her ghost class proud. While the bear, growled and tried to make the sound stop, Silas ran over to him in a blur, pouncing onto his back before biting the back of his neck rather hard.

Luka narrowed her eyes as the other teleported. She then put a slim smile on her face. "Pleasure...you can see the link right? Follow it. Teleport!" She said as Pleasure smiled and took her hand. Luka closed her eyes as they shifted to the other. She hated teleporting. It always made her dizzy and sick in the stomach. She saw the girl trying to train a guardian. She simply smirked at the other girl. She then saw Cronos. She walked forward and stood behind him. "How long was this so called walk you were going to take?" She asked as she kept her eyes on the girl and her Guardian.

Tyr tilted his head and stared at the male with a confused look on his face for a moment. "You're coming with me?" It was a rhetorical question. He'd needed to reaffirm with himself that he'd heard what he heard. Part of him wanted to say no, but as they walked he said that information was something he specialized in. . . so maybe he could be useful. Then he said something useful. Tyr paused for a moment as an eyebrow raised, "A race huh? So you know where can I find a strong and fast riding guardian dear Haru?" The surger was a little skeptical as to whether or not he should trust such a whimsical person but he'd proven that he was more than a competent surger so why should he doubt that he knew what he was talking about? "Lead the way," he finally said conceding to his thoughts. He thought about what type of guardian he would be willing to ride. It would need to be strong but mostly strong spirited. It needed to be an aggressive fighter and have that competitive spirit. Valtyr would accept no less nor would his other partners.

Lexus watched the male as he battled. It was a bit..rough, but then again so was Lexus. He watched their movements, and how they acted together and as a team. He smiled, this guy was not so bad, it may be a good idea to travel with him. He had herd about a tournament, and probrably should mention it to the guy. Perhaps he would want to enter it as well. If he did, it would be even more fun. Lexus was looking forward to see what the male would do next against the agrivated guardian. He watched as it swung around, before grabbing the guardian on its' back with its large paws and throwing them. Lexus could see it was getting even more aggrivated. "Um, maybe we should back off" he says, "we got in some training, there is no need to hurt it, and aggrivating it more could lead to trouble." The guardian pawed at the ground, and prepared itself.

Haru giggled, turning to walk backwards so he could watch his companion. "You want something strong and agressive right? Fast and powerful..then to the valcanos we go" he said without skipping a beat. He led him back into town to the docks, asking when the next boat would be leaving the two were in luck, one was leaving soon. He paid for both tickets, money was not an problem. He pointed to a big black hulled ship "that will take us to Taiyō, there you will find a strong one in a special place I herd about. If your strong enough, you may be able to tame one, fail and well....your toast" he giggled at the pun, and turned to the ship. He felt excitement rising inside of him. He was going to get to see the world and to do something out of the ordinary for him to. Travelling with a partner was going to be fun, and they would both need eachother if they were going to survive in Terra. He had a feeling that a lot more dangerous things waited for them then his companion knew about. A slight chill ran through him, yes, something bad was deffinetly out there....

Devin's arms were still crossed and her hips still cocked. She was still frowning as the man appeared. They'd met before, when she joined NOVA, not too many weeks ago. She was clearly annoyed, though not with Cronos, with the guardian. Currently dark grey eyes moved from him to his assistant, then to the skies after her guardian. She sighed heavily, still frowning.

"I grew up with Rama," she started. "Training hasn't always been a cake walk, but we've always gotten through it together. Ignatius," she shook her head, "he's a pain in my ass." She looked back to the man again. It bugged her that she couldn't see who was under that cloak, but it really didn't matter. She moved towards him, readjusting her tiny armored outfit. She absentmindedly noted the location of her Pudao, not too far from them. She didn't think she'd need it, but she wasn't stupid. She knew nothing of Cronos but that he stood for all things evil.

When she reached him she crossed her arms again. Devin was a solo kind of girl. She didn't like to be bothered, and her and Cronos weren't exactly buddies, so what did he want? "Why are you here?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. Her heavy breathing had calmed but her dark blood red hair still strayed about from her long braid and around her face. Dark grey eyes seemed to narrow, challenging him to try something funny. She didn't trust anyone.

He watched the female, a smile forming under his hood. "Always to the point.." his eyes shifted to the assistant as she came down next to him. So she had followed him..nothing of the matter, she was under his employment as well. He slipped a flier out from his sleeve, it was for the upcoming tournament. He held it out to the female, and smiled. "This is something you may be interested in, that is if you can get a hold on your guardian that is" he stepped past her to the sword, running his gloved fingers over the hilt of it. "It is going to be...eventful....We're going to make a big.....impression" he smiled a bit more. He turned back to her, and looked at her "can we expect you to be there? You may be able to find some opponents worth your while" he says, giving a slight wave of his hand "that is...if your interested." He slowly walked back over to the two of them and stood, waiting for her answer.

The blonde surger nodded as Haru described what he was looking for and then smiled at the result his newfound companion came to. "Taiyō," he said aloud before the male mentioned it. It was the hottest region of the world so that was the only place that they would be headed. Following the ghost surger's lead the two of them went back into town and then straight for the docks to secure a boat. He looked at the large black hulled ship that he pointed out then back to him as he explained things. Tyr stared at Haru blankly for a moment still trying to come to terms with his sarcasm, but maybe what he said this time was somewhat more of a warning. There was at least a hint of truth in what he was saying. Still, being in adverse situations only brought out the feral beast inside of him so it was fair to say that his adrenaline increasing the more he thought about it. "I'm won't fail," he said confidently. "I plan on winning this tournament. So let's get going." Now that they had their tickets Valtyr went ahead and jumped on board. He was eager to see what he'd find.

Luka looked at the poster from the back. She looked back at the girl then scribbled on her notpad that she had brought with her. "And when were you going to tell me about this...plan?" She asked softly as she closed his notebook. She ran a hand through her hair and looked at Pleasure who shrugged. She checked her watch as she walked towards Cronos. She leaned next to his ear. "You have 15 minutes until your meeting." she whispered softly.

Anastasia sat atop of Tangea’s head for a while as the sored through the air. She occasionally moved a stray hair out of her face and kept looking around, it was all so fascinating and she wanted to absorb it all. When she had had enough of that though she stood up and stretched her legs and walked back to the bag and grabbed an apple; before walking back to Tangea’s head. She looked over and smiled saying “Hey Tangea! I think that this is Sōru!” She dropped the half eaten apple into a bag and smiled saying “You know what that means! It’s our last chance to do some training before we sign up for the tournament!”

With that being said Anastasia began running yet again and jumped so she was free falling towards the ground yet again. She watched as Tangea turned around to come back and get her. Anastasia turned her head slightly to see how high she was a realized that there was not going to be enough time for Tangea to catch her, well not unless she had suddenly gotten ten times faster in the short time they had been flying. She instantly spread her arms and legs out to try and slow her fall and yelled out “Tangea! Tangea please speed up!” and then she just went into just plain screaming as she watch Tangea try her hardest to catch up and how fast the ground was approaching.

When she realized that Tangea was not going to be able to catch her Anastasia closed her eyes tightly and waited for the impact. She knew that she should have looked at how high they had been before she jumped, but she wanted Tangea to get faster. She kept her arms and legs wide open to tru and give her the best chance at being caught by Tangea but kept her eyes closed.

Haru followed the other on board, ready to get going as well. He was interested in seeing more of what this guy could do. The thought of it was quite intriguing. He looked around, not many people were on the boat, and even less looked friendly. He watched the ship pull away from the dock, and move off into the open water. He was excited to get out there and now to see a new place. It was a great day for exploaring in his opinion. They would get to their destination by late afternoon, they could get some food and sleep then head off by tomorrow morning. If all went right, they could be setting sail for the tournament by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. He was excited, he didn't think he would enter this tournament, but he could gather information on those who did. Either way, it would turn out in his favor. Following this guy around was a good idea. He had a feeling they would make a good team. He turned looking at his companion. "Do you have a team name? If your a surger and now we are working together, should we not make it official?" he smiled. Building a team would be benificial, it would open the opportunity for more and stronger tournaments down the line, and for access to more appealing parts of the surging world.

Raven moved to start up the trail to head into town, when he herd one of the people on the docks shout. They were pointing to the air, and everyone was looking up at the sky. Glancing up, he noticed a female falling. She looked familiar, it couldn't be...could it? He sighed, it was, the girl he had met in the shop earlier. He shook his head, and slipped off his jacket so it wouldn't get torn. In the back of his shirt two long slits were cut out for a specific reason. His tail twitched as he began to take off towards her. A pair of wings unfurled from his back, and spread out to catch the wind before he pushed off into the air. He herd some gasps and some words, but he ignored them, now was not the time to get self concious about other people seeing his wings. He flew up into the air, he was fast on his own, for he had trained a lot in using every part of his body. He made sure to position himself below the girl, swooping up under her before catching her against him. He sighed, flying up a bit more before slowing down. He looked down at her "what were you thinking? That was a very stupid thing to do. " He thought he must have sounded like his father back when he had been learning to fly and fight, he sighed. "Are you alright?" he said in a softer voice.

Ronan looked at the scene before him with calculating eyes, he wasn't worried about Silas when he got thrown off the bear's back, watching as he slid across the ground before coming up on his paws. He whistled to the white tiger, whom had ran off towards the side, going around before he spread his claws out and jumped on its' back again, digging his claws in before he clamped down hard on the back of its' neck once more. "A fight or a battle is just that so is the same for training, backing down when you can still win is not something i can do." he said to him, pushing his classes up his nose as he turned his attention back towards the fight, he had a rather serious look on his face before he looked at Laila. "Laila....Moon song." he said to her bluntly, he understood Lexus' worry about it, after all it was getting dangerous and the guardian could figure out that they were the reason it was getting attacked. Laila soon began to howl in a way that it could put anyone to sleep, Ronan couldn't help but smirk as he pushed his glasses up his nose once more as he saw the bear guardian slowly start to drift off, along with Silas.

Lexus gave a slight look. This guy was turning in to more of a jerk. "There is a fine line between training, battling and overdoing it" he shook his head, and turned. He would not be a part of this anymore guardians were not tools or anything. That guardian did not deserve that, and if he did something Lexus would not hesitate to stand up to him just like his father would have done. He walked away from the male, not waiting for a responce. It was already clear they had won, they did not need to fully knock out the guardian. They had come into its territory and decided to battle it, it was only defending itself. He felt a bit bad now, was he right just forcing into a battle like that with a guardian who did nothing to him? No, there had to be a better way, and he would find it. He looked at the bands around his wrists and nodded, moving back towards the town. He was now annoyed and deep in thought.

Ronan tilted his head back and looked at the male, sighing before he called Silas and Laila back to their capsuls, thanking them as he left the sleeping bear where he was at. "You call having him focus on one guardian that maybe injuring him and the other putting it to sleep so that he wouldn't come after us over doing it?" he said to him in a serious voice as he caught up to him, grabbing his wrist as he turned him around so they could face each other, looking at him seriously. "I showed you what you wanted to see. If i had not put that guardian to sleep he would have figured out we were the threat to him not our guardians....and then he would have killed us. It is clear that he has a thick hide and Silas did not real damage to him that he can not heal from." he said to him as he kept him from walking off, they clearly needed to talk about this, they may have been two completely different people and battle differently or similarly but it did not mean they had to leave on bad terms, they needed to see each others' point of view on the situation that had just happened.

Anastasia hear all the people yelling below her and closed her eyes even tighter, she knew the ground was coming. It was just a matter of time until she actually hit it she still didn’t even hear Tangea’s low moan yet which to her meant that she was nowhere near catching her. When she felt arms come up under her and lift her up into the air she kept her eyes closed until she actually hear someone talking. Hearing the first comment she opened her eyes and was ready to tell him off when she heard him ask her if she was alright.

Brushing the stray hairs out of her face she looked up at the man and noticed that he was the guy from the store and then looked down over her shoulder before back up at him and said “Yeah, I’m alright. Better then what I would have been, umm thanks for saving me.” She looked down at the ground again then said “I really mean it, thanks.”

Once Anastasia felt she had apologized enough and well, felt relived she looked back at him and said “And what do you mean stupid! I was training… it just happened that gravity seemed to win this time.” She crossed her arms over her chest and continued on by saying “Plus since when did you have a caring side? I mean back at the shop you seemed to be pretty cold and I was only trying to be nice.” She looked up and finally saw Tangea come into view and would just have to wait for her to finally catch up.

Anastasia paused for a moment then sighed saying “Sorry, that was mean, you just saved my life and here I am being mean.” She looked up at him and said “The names Anastasia, it’s finally nice to have a proper conversation with you mister. Well the best it can be under these circumstances.” She looked up again and then said “And that is Tangea, my guardian that I was training with.” She smiled as Tangea finally levelled out beside them and let out a small moan.

Anastasia roller her eyes and said "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine... thanks to him... no need to worry." She smiled up at Tangea and then looked back at the guy and asked "So when did you get your wings? They are amazing!" She beamed up at him and continued on by saying "I mean they are just beautiful plus they make you unique and being unique is always an amazing thing, you must love your wings."

He pulled out of the male's grip. "I mean the fact that...nevermind. We intruded on its territory, we don't need to go overboard" he sighed, "enjoy your day." He needed to be getting home, Jargas would probrably be angry with him at this point, and talking right now was getting him nowhere. He turned, heading back in the direction of his home for now. He didn't care at the moment if the male followed him, if he did he did, if not then he could go back into town. He ran a hand through his hair, a slight pang in his heart hurt him. He paused to lean against a tree with a sigh. He looked up at the sky, and tilted his head a bit. He wondered what he was going to do now. He sighed, and continued on his way.

Raven listened to her words, she liked to talk a lot. "My name is Raven" he said "it was foolish and rash, you always need a back up plan, incase someething ended up happening....which it did" he looked her over. Slowly the two made their way back down to the ground, and he slowly let her off onto her feet. When she began talking about his wings he became a biut unsure. His wings made him different, that was true, they were unique and made him him. He sighed a bit, she seemed to be the only one who thought that it was interesting and cool that he had wings. He nodded a bit, and moved around her. "I think my wings are...different, though most people would think that they are....strange"

He sighed, looking at her for a moment. He wondered what she was doing here. She had been rash with this guardian. Most people would know better then to jump off without a back up plan, or at least to do it low enough over water and to know how to swim. She had not, but he was glad she had not been hurt. A part of him wanted to smile, but he didn't. He was known for being cold and a jerk, she had pointed that out, so why start now. His wings folded back into his back, and he walked back over to where he had left his stuff, slipping on his jacket. He picks up his bag and moves over to his bike. He looked back at her as he got on. "Are you coming or not?"

Devin took the flyer and looked it over. A tournament huh? She 'hmpfed' at his comment about getting a hold on her guardian. She had Rama and that's all she needed. Though Nash had so much more potential than any guardian she'd ever met. She watched him now as he picked up the Pudao. His very voice and movements caused her a chill. She rather appreciated it. She hadn't met many like Cronos.

When the girl moved to speak into his ear, Devin watched her. There was something familiar about her. She'd seen her somewhere before. She shrugged it off. Probably trailing Cronos. Devin moved to grab her Pudao. "I'm in," she said. "What impression are we supposed to be making?" She wondered what he meant by that and if there was anything in particular he expected her to do. Either way it sounded mischievous, and she was always in when it came to mischief.

Once on the ground Anastasia smiled at him, now knowing his name she could actually use it. Plus it was very suiting for him, a dark mysterious creature that was supposed to be the keeper of he soul. Think about it she smiled then thought to her self 'he wears almost all black, is defiantly mysterious and for sure keeps his would under lock and key seeing as he is so cold and jerk like'. She rolled her eyes at his comment then said "Alright, it was rash, but it was training, you have to expect the unexpected. Plus I didn't think gravity would win." As he walked around her she followed him with her eyes listening to what he was saying. When he had mentioned his wings being different or strafe to people she smiled and said "Sure they are different or strange, but they are inspiring, and incredible, plus they are the complete symbol of freedom! I just think that people are jealous because you have wings and they don't."

When he walked off back to what appeared to be his bike she looked over at Tangea and said "Alright you need a rest, you can return to your capsule now, and thanks for all your hard work." She had been about to start walking when she heard Raven and looked at him in shock and said "Umm, yeah, sure. I'll come. She walked over to him and said "So, where are we heading to?" She didn't know what else really to do, normally she walked everywhere or flew, and it looked like he was going to be riding his bike somewhere bust she had learned better then to presume to get on it just incase. Plus he was being nice now, not that she didn't like it or anything but what she had gotten earlier compared to now just seemed so opposite.

Ronan groaned and rubbed the back of his head, this was not what he had planed, he wanted to get to know him, and let him get to know him, he just could not take the fact that the male was pissed at him and wanted nothing to do with him. He followed after him silently, not knowing what to do, watching as he leaned against a tree before he went over to him once more, pinning him to the tree. "Look...i am sorry if it seems like i went over board with the training. I....I lost my twin sister a while back to a guardian because she stopped like you had wanted me to stop. It killed her and since then.....no matter what i at least make sure the guardian is a sleep before i leave it. I can't have one come charging at my companions. If i was alone i would have stopped and not care if it killed me. I just don't like losing people near me....even though i had just met you i consider you a friend and your safety was my concern. Think what you want about me.....i just wanted you to know why i did what i did." he said to him as he let his head hang, the thought of what happened to his twin made tears spring to his eyes, his hands griping at the tree for a few moments before his arms drop, letting Lexus walk off. He felt stupid to think that he could make friends with out her around, to try and live on, with out Rowena around to help balance him out, just left him lost.

Valtyr leaned his back against the edge of the boat resting on his elbows as he allowed the gentle breeze to flow over his face and through his hair. It was a beautiful day, and it was turning out to be more eventful than he'd originally thought it would. Smiling inwardly to himself he thought about the adventure that was awaiting them across this large body of water. Taiyō. Home to some of the meanest and most aggressive surgers around. Maybe he could battle some people there before they left the island. It would be a good warm up for the tournament since there would be surgers from around the world there.

The blonde stared up at the sky as he listened to Haru's proposal to form a team. Was that what they were now? A team? Maybe. Maybe the real question here was, was Valtyr ready to be on a team? So long as he was the leader he could deal with it, and it seemed to him that his ghosty companion seemed content to play his part. Shrugging slightly he thought about a list of possible names, "Phantom, Omega, Rage, Aftershock. . ." Then a really good one hit him. Grinning devilishly he looked at Haru, "Eclipse or Genesis?"

After hearing his reply a question hit him, "What exactly are the benefits of being on a team? If I'm going to be on a team I want to be more famous than my team." Not that he dreamed of being overly famous, but it would bother him if his team name was more renown than his own.
