One week later
Nexus: Nexus blocked a strike from Vanir's blade before swinging his own weapon Kyofu in a broad arc, the variable dust blade wasn't active but the solid hunk of titanium on one side was enough to crush most types of armor. Or in this case, block the massive weapon that Vanir prefered to fight with.
"You've got him on the ropes Nexus!" Ruby shouted from the sidelines, she had recently been following Nexus around, mostly because she was the only other human outside of his team and the rest of LVTN that knew he was an android, and kept it a secret.
"Pay Attention to your opponent Nexus." Vanir said before launching another set of swings that managed to knock Kyofu out of his hands, and Nexus himself received a backhand that sent him to the ground and tasting his equivalent of blood. "Ow." He said while looking up at the ceiling, a moment later he saw Vanir's hand reaching out to him to help him up.
"Dude, I know you think a lot but please try and pay attention next time, we should get ready to head into town now, it's nearly noon." Vanir said to him after Nexus picked up his weapon and slung it across his back. "Yeah, thanks for the practice, the others can't stand up to Kyofu's attacks, too much weight for them." Nexus replied before Ruby seemingly teleported in between the two of them, knocking Vanir backwards.
"That was awesome!" She shouted while quickly explaining the fight play by play and making multiple gestures for each action, Nexus caught most of it but some bit's did not get through. "Your weapon is so cool, making a blade out of dust and using the properties to change the flow of battle is pretty good for plans." Ruby said, finally ending Nexuses confusion. "I suppose it is." Nexus said, feeling a bit of pride at the compliment.
"Yeah, now if only he could get a chance to do so." Vanir said before tossing Nexus a helmet. "You guy's going somewhere?" Ruby asked in confusion as Vanir put on the helmet he usually wore during missions, a black helmet with segmented plates on the back which moved to cover his spinal cord and head, a moment later the visor turned on and lit a downward facing V red. "Yeah, we have to meet the others in town for some time at the festival before the fights begin." Vanir said, his voice changed by the helmet to sound lighter than it did without the helmet.
"We can talk tech later ok Ruby?" Nexus said, his voice was somewhat deeper from his helmet, the two visors were circular and lit up red as well "Sure thing, have fun!" Ruby said as the two of them walked away from the training room and to the garage where Vanir's motorcycle Eidolon was stored.
"Should be a nice day." Nexus said after Vanir sat in front of the throttles and pressed a button to start the engine, which made a low wailing noise as it started for the first time in months. "Yeah, so long as the Knights don't cause trouble." Vanir replied as Nexus sat down behind him and held onto the bars on the end of the motorcycle, he and Vanir had built from some stolen blueprints, the design was sleek yet had plenty of weapons built in to deal with enemy armor and infantry, Vanir had stressed mobility as well as firepower when it was built.
"Send a message to the others to keep an eye out for the Knights by the way, doesn't hurt to keep our guards up." Vanir said as the doors opened and he gunned it, going at top speeds in only a couple of seconds, the Eidolon's low wail sounded like a banshee as Vanir made Nexus feel some terror due to the speed.
