E-1: Hello there. If you have any ideas on how I can improve training montages in this series just comment and I'll definitely check em out.
*Back at the training cube*
*Yumi, Homura, Miyabi and Ikaruga can be seen going all out fighting one another in a separate area of the fine distant from everywhere else, using their various abilities and attacks to try and get the upper hand on one another as well as to learn new skills and to improve on the skills they already posses*
Yumi: Hmph, take this! *She raises her fans and creates a spike of ice infront of me*
Homura: Too slow! *She cuts through the ice and rushes towards Yumi*
Ikaruga: *Clashing with Miyabi* Your not all that bad afterall!
Miyabi: And I can say the same with you. Although I shall be the one who will prove to the strongest between all of us.
Homura: Huh!? Not a chance! *Swings at Miyabi*
Ikaruga: Don't be so reckless! *Moves out of the way*
Miyabi: Oh really? Then I'd like to see you try and keep up!
Yumi: *Swings her fans at Ikaruga*
Ikaruga: *Spins around and blocks them with her sword* Not a bad surprise attack.
Yumi: The same can be said about your skill with the blade.
*The 4 of them continue to fight, growing and improving every passing minute as they all seem to be neck a neck at one another until they all collapse out of exhaustion and fatigue*
Homura: Huh... How do we go about this then eh?
Miyabi: Well I was the last one that fell down, so I'm the winner.
Ikaruga: Well I fought the most so I think I won this one.
Yumi: Why don't us four just count this as a tie?
Homura: Huh!? No way! I'm not settling for a tie!
Miyabi: So will I.
Ikaruga: I have no complaints with a tie but it'll be difficult to convince them...
Yumi: Yes that is true. I suppose we can just continue on then. *Readies her fans*
Ikaruga: Yes. I think that would be fine. *Readies her sword*
Miyabi: Let's settle this. *Readies her sword*
Homura: Once and for all! *Readies her swords*
*The four of them then continue their bout and continue fighting until they fully run out of energy and fall out of exhaustion*
*Meanwhile on another part of the training cube*
Reed: So your paired with me Roy?
Roy: Mhm. Just like always. Paired up with each other even back in our high school days.
Reed: When you still were a jerk?
Roy: *Chuckles* Yeah. I guess that's a good way to tell how long it's been.
Yagyū: So what are we going to be doing?
Reed: Mike paired us 4 all up. So we can either do a free for all like what the leads are doing or-
Roy: Have a tournament, or-
Reed: Fight as duos.
Asuka: Hmmm... I think fighting as Duos will be much better. Doing a free for all and a tournament would just end up being you against Roy.
Roy: Yeah I guess that's true. So how do you wanna split us up?
Reed: Well I guess I'll pair with Yagyū here.
Roy: So I'm with Asuka.
Asuka: Woohoo!
Roy: This feels like introverts vs extroverts.
Yagyū: I'm not sure if I should laugh or be irritated by what you said.
Reed: You can be both at the same time if you'd like.
Yagyū: Yes I think I would like that.
*They all start warming up, loosening their bones and muscles and getting ready to go head to head*
Reed: So? You two ready?
Roy: Ready as I'll ever damn be!
Asuka: Same here!
Yagyū: We won't hold back you know.
Asuka: And so will we!
Reed: Haha! We know that very well.
Roy: So who's doing the count-
Asuka: 3!
Yagyū: 2!
Reed: 1!
Roy: Wait hold on a moment- Nevermind. Go!
*The two pairs then rush at one another and strike each other with thier weapon of choice at the exact same time*
Reed: Roy! I'll end this tiebreaker right here!
Roy: Oh!? Is that so!? I think I'll be the one doing that!
Asuka: *Kicks Yagyū and Reed in the chest* Roy is not the only one you two have to worry about!
Yagyū: *Blocks her kick with her umbrella* Don't worry. I can deal with you.
Reed: *Dodges the kick* And I can deal with Roy! Have at us then!
Roy: Your both on then! *Dashes towards the both of them*
Asuka: Hey! Don't leave me out of this! *Rushes towards them alongside Roy*
Reed: *Pulls out his Katana in a swift motion and swings at Roy*
Roy: *Summons his trident and blocks his Katana* Too slow-
Reed: *Pulls his katana out and strikes Roy in the side*
Roy: Tsk! Still as good as ever-
Yagyū: *Kicks Roy in the side of the head* Again, don't forget about me.
Roy: Oof! *Rolls on the floor but quickly rebounds and stands up*
Asuka: And me too! *Kicks Reed in the stomach*
Reed: *Blocks her kick* Yeah, yeah. We know that.
*The four of them then continue on to fight each other in their area, growing in power with every time they clash with one another*
Reed: It's time we kick this into hyperdrive! *Charges up into U.I*
Roy: Two can play at that game. *Charges up into U.I*
Asuka: A- We can't even keep up with them anymore!
Yagyū: Then I guess we'll have to fight each other then. *Readies her umbrella*
Asuka: Yeah! Right! *Readies her swords* Here I come! *Dashes towards Yagyū*
Yagyū: The same here! *Dashes towards Asuka*
*The two pairs then clashed at one another for hours on end with their weapons and their hand to hand skills at their side, ready to win the match at the end of it until Reed and Roy ran out of steam and reverted back into their base forms*
Reed: *Panting* Geez, I'm winded. Yet still not out for the count.
Yagyū: *Wipes the dust and brushes the pain off* I can say the same for myself.
Roy: Good, cuz I ain't out for the count either!
Asuka: So am I! *Readies her swords*
Roy: *Readies his trident*
Reed: *Takes a deep breathe and readies his Katana*
Yagyū: *Readies her umbrella* Round 2?
Reed: Mhm. Let's do it.
Roy: Game on then!
*The four of them then continue to spar with one another until they eventually collapse out of exhaustion and in injuries*
Reed: So uh, a tie again?
Roy: Uh-huh. A tie it is.
Asuka: Hehe! I'm fine with that!
Yagyū: Yeah. I think I'm too tried to continue on anyway. Plus, I think I want to see Hibari again. I need to make sure she's okay.
Reed: Sounds like an overprotective sister thing you've got.
Yagyū: H-huh!?
Asuka: *Chuckles and laughs* Hahaha! That's true!
Yagyū: N-No it's not!
Roy: Sounds like it is true!
Yagyū: S-shut up. I'm just trying make sure that she's okay... *Stands up flustered and walks off*
Reed: Eh, okay. Whatever ya say. *Shrugs*
Asuka: Be careful!
Roy: Yeah for sure. Mike is pretty hard when it comes to his training!
