Team Nav and Team Waber found out there fates. Rogue moving to train with the communion of Gurhol, Kuro to train under a swords master, Cain to train under his uncle, Yuki and Spike to remain with Ethan, Dawn and Carnage been moved to train with Tonnio.

Episode 10 – Starting Over

Kuro and Cain sit in there room, it had been a week since the meeting with Nav and neither of them had had any messages from there new trainers. The door to the room opens and Dawn drags herself in, she had been forced to work extra hard in Tonnio's training group. Tonnio had made Carnage his assistant since he didn't have a clue how to train a cast. For Dawn this meant a trainer who never tried and could keep up with her the whole way. Dawn collapses into a chair and shouts to no one and everyone

"FOOD… GET ME… NOW"

Cain pushes an untouched pot of ramen in front of dawn who devours it without hesitation. Kuro looks over at the Newman and says "You look dead!"

Dawn rolls her eyes at Kuro for pointing out the obvious and starts on a second tub of ramen, Cain asks "so is it true that Tonnio killed his last team for rebelling against him?"

Dawn swallows her food and says "not… true... he only put them in hospital… nothing much really."

The 2 human guys just roll there eyes at there Newman comrade. A computer near the beds in the room starts to beep, Both Kuro and Cain get up to check it, they hear Dawn yell "IF IT IS TONNIO TELL HIM I DIED ON MY WAY HOME"

Both guys ignore Dawn and read the message. Kuro turns round and says "Dawn that WAS Tonnio he wants you to run 5000 laps of the planet Parum in one hour."

Kuro watches as the colour drains from Dawns face and she looks physically sick. Cain continues off from where Kuro left off "yeah, and we sent a message back saying that you would get right on it."

Dawns eyes widen and she faints falling to the floor, the two guys look at each other before Cain says "maybe we should bring her round and tell her the message was for you Tri."

Kuro looks at Dawn then to Cain and says "Ok just let me leave before you tell her, and don't move around to much when she is trying to kill you so the room doesn't get damaged to much."

Cain starts to sweat when he hears what Kuro said "you think that she would really try to kill me?"

Kuro just smirks "yep, most likely you know what she is like when she is angry, she scares me when she is."

Kuro picks up his sword from his bed and walks towards the door before saying "Cain places her on her bed, if she wakes up on the floor she will kill us both."

Kuro leaves the room laughing inwardly; Cain sighs and picks Dawn up placing her on her bed.

(Parum, Raffon Meadow)

Kuro stands ear his flyer, he thinks back to the message that he received

'Kuro, it is time, come to the Raffon Meadow on Parum ASAP to begin your training.'

Kuro looks at his watch, he had been there for nearly an hour, he had seen no sign of life except for a single bird that had flown over head. Kuro stands up straight and stretches out yawning, he stops suddenly when he hears something which sounds like a stick been broken. He turns in the direction to see someone walking towards him, Kuro didn't even need to strain his eyes to see who it was he knew it straight away, it was his brother Kura. Kura was 10 years older than Kuro, and was always the favourite when it came to there parents. Kuro draws his sword and readies himself, but Kura doesn't even attempt to show any hostility towards his brother and stops when there is only 5 meters between them. Kura smirks and says "hello brother, surprised to see me aren't you."

Kuro lowers his sword and says "yeah I am considering the last time I saw you was when you and Father threw me in that orphanage."

Kura takes his beam saber from his belt and activates it, Kuro bring his sword up again. Kura smirks and says "I don't know why you bother, I am a lot better than we were younger, I am now an A rank Ranger. Where as you are just a lowly trainee, but don't worry once you have finished your training with me you will be a slightly higher rank."

Kuro grows angry and shouts "DON'T MOCK ME YOU STUPID BASTARD OR I WILL KILL YOU WHERE YOU STAND!"

Kura says calmly "just try it, if you can hit me once I will say you have no need for any training"

Kuro tightens his grip on his sword before charging in,

(With Cain, Guardian Colony)

Cain sits at the computer, Carnage had been back for a few minutes and had already set himself to recharge, Dawn still hadn't woken up after fainting so he was basically left alone. Cain, bored senseless balances a pot of ramen he had recent finished on his index finger, the pot remains almost motionless until a bleeping from the computer alerted him of a message, he opens it to find it is from his uncle. The message reads

'Cain, I apologise for making you wait but I have been on high demand for missions, please meet me in the central plaza of guardian colony in 10 minutes.'

Cain stands up and shuts the screen off on the computer; he picks his bow up from leaning against his bunk and puts his quiver on his back. He checks on Dawn to make sure she is alright before heading out the door thinking 'that squirt is going to kill both me and Kuro for leaving her like this'

(Central Plaza)

Cain leaving the elevator from the barracks looks around, he almost immediately spots his uncle, he is just as tall as Cain but his muscles are a lot larger, he is wearing a pair of white trousers and a white long sleeve shirt, there is an arm plate going down his right arm, in place to stop the photons from his arrows burning him. On his back there is a Long Bow and a quiver, with a pattern engraved into it, which Cain recognises as the family crest. Cain starts walking over as his uncle turns in his direction, the two stare at each other, finally they both smile and Cain says "good to see you again Uncle Saburo, you are looking well"

Saburo nods and says to his nephew "it's good to see you again Cain. I can see that you have grown into strong man since last I saw you"

Cain laughs and says "it's seems that way cause you haven't seen me in over 10 years."

Saburo becomes instantly serious and says "I think it is time we got down to training, I have a lot to teach you, I know my brother taught you the basics before his passing but I am going to teach you everything else you need to know. This will not be easy, it will take you beyond your limits and there is no backing down once we start."

Cain nods in acknowledgement before saying "I will do anything to become stronger; I don't care if it does take me beyond my limits."

Saburo smiles and says "then let us begin, we are going to are families old archer range." The 2 head towards their destination.

(Hiro Family Archery Range)

Saburo watches as Cain fires a few shots at the targets each time hitting a bulls eye. He smiles at the fact his nephew was as good as most in there family line. Saburo after witnessing another bulls eye says "ok, I can see how far you skills are along, but you need a lot of work, my brother didn't get a chance to teach you are families trade mark Photon Arts did he?"

Cain shakes his head and Saburo continues "Then that is what I will be teaching you during your training. I will also teach you how to hit a target perfectly when you are more than 1000 metres away. But first an explanation of the photon arts we use, They are mainly evasion techniques, because we require to fight from a distance there is the speed step technique, it allows us to move a short distance in the blink of an eye, there is the Photon Shield, it is used to defend us when the speed step fails. There is only one attacking art we use but it is dangerous, it will leave you with nothing left to continue fighting so use the art with caution. The art is an attack that uses a special arrow which has tech power of Newman's embedded within it, it also draws energy from the archer and drains them of most there strength. The result is a shot that can deal a critical hit on any target and engulf them with magic, rarely an opponent can survive the shot, of course it will leave you drained of energy. This tech is called the Spirit Shot, most of the people who have used it in the past have died as a result of it. It is an attack only to be used if you have no other option."

Cain merely nods in understanding at this, his uncle continues "The first thing I will teach you will be the speed step, or as it is also know Fast Step or Quick Step. This can take some time to learn and you must understand that using it repeatedly will wear you out. I only suggest using it 3 or 4 times during any battle. I will show you and explain it to you first."

Saburo vanishes from in front of Cain and appears behind him before saying "very living creature has tec power within them, the key to using speed steps is to dig into that power. This tech is easier for Newman's to learn because of there higher tec powers but humans with practice can use this tec just as well. To focus your energy, you have to relax yourself and clear your mind. Next concentrate only on your inner tec power. Finally draw from that power and think as though you are running, and think of your destination. If done correctly and the distance is not to far you will instantly appear in the location you are thinking of. Give it a try"

Cain relaxes himself and tries to clear his mind, unable to he tries to focus his tec powers but again fails, after a few minutes Saburo says "ok that took to long you would have been dead many times over by now. Every night I want you to meditate and master focusing quickly. I will gauge your progress as your training continues. I knew you would fail the first time everyone does, so do not dwell on it. For now I want you to hit some targets, you have to get 10 bulls eyes in a row on each before moving on to the next, the first targets are 500 metres away, they increases by 50 metres each time up to 1000 metres. If you miss just once you have to go back to the start. That means even if you are on the final one of the 1000 metres you have to go back to 500 metres if you miss."

Cain looks annoyed but agrees to it and starts his target practice.
