[b]Anumi stands in front of her mirror, observing her old set of gear. It's Atean. It has a brilliant gold head piece and light cloth pieces. She doesn't recognize herself in it. It causes her eyes to shine a familiar purple. Meanwhile, Damien has somehow gotten into her room.[/b]
[i]"There is no shame in who you are. In fact, you are just as pretty as an Atea as when you hide yourself."[/i]
[b]Anumi flushes a deep red in her cheeks. But her voice gives nothing away.[/b]
[i][u]"Flattery. Damien, people don't like who I really am... Not humans."[/u][/i]
[i]"Well... I like you, though, there aren't many beings I dislike. One day, you'll need to accept yourself. I have faith you can coordinate your being to what I know you to be."[/i]
[b]Damien exits the room, this time using the door. Though, he leaves it open so he can keep an eye on her from his brother's room. Anumi sits on her bed with a sigh, looking at her strange apparel. She was different... She knew that. She just wished others wouldn't see her for what she was: a monster.[/b]

-
[b]The Hunter knocks on her door a few minutes after Damien leaves, Raidriar right behind him.[/b]
-
[b]A muffled voice comes through.[/b] [i][u]"Come in... It's unlocked."[/u][/i] [b]Anumi sits, leaned against her bed frame. Her strange cloth armor leaves a lot to the imagination.[/b]
-
[b]The Hunter opens the door, and walks in. He looks over at Anumi.[/b] "Hey Anumi. I was wondering if you wanted to do some training."
-
[b]She shrugs indifferently.[/b] [i][u]"I'll need to change..."[/u][/i]
-
"But do you want to do some training? I don't wanna bother you."
-
[i][u]"Sure..."[/u][/i] [b]She walks into her bathroom and shuts the door behind herself. The gentle thud of motion can be heard.[/b]
-
[b]He waits patiently.[/b]
-
[b]She re enters in her standard purple skirt and shirt. Her rifle is strapped onto her back. She gives him a nod, signaling she is ready.[/b]
-
[b]He begins to walk out of the room, his duster swishing as he turns.[/b]
-
[b]She follows him. When they arrive at the training room she heads over to a preparation station and sets up a simulation.[/b] [i][u]"Want to do something together?"[/u][/i]
-
"That was the plan."
-
[b]She doubles the target amount. The room begins to form into a realistic plane. It's wide open with little cover except the massive wall of opponents. She she unstraps her rifle and looks at the wide open field. There's a cliff face and a jutting rock. Positions where you can get easily pinned... She certainly meant to make this difficult. There's about 29 of them... They all carry standard rifles and shotguns. The sensors overhead as the words 'READY YOURSELVES' flashing.[/b]
-
[b]The Hunter draws his dual-wield .537 magnums, and readies himself.[/b]
-
[b]The sensors pings off and a bright green 'START' beams overhead. Immediately the figures charge forward, shooting blindly.[/b]
-
[b]The Hunter starts a rotation of turning into liquid, then shooting a target.[/b]
-
[b]Anumi fires off a few volleys, hitting some and missing others. The sim seems pretty average at best. That's until a tank rolls up. It's ballistic covered in heavy armaments.[/b]
-
"I'll take the tank! You cover me!" [b]He turns to liquid, and rushes towards the tank.[/b]
-
[b]She blasts more volleys at the surrounding troops, tearing most apart. That's when the Hunter notices that one of them looks less like a hologram and more like a real man. He carries a large bow and his eyes glow in a sinister light.[/b]
-
[b]The Hunter's eyes widen, and he tackles the real-looking man. Raidriar, who was behind them yells.[/b] "Anumi! Get out of here! It's Caldon! He's back!"
-
[b]She blazes a heavy purple. Fear overtaken by anger. The the hologram speeds up, more and more men pour out. It's followed by more men with bows blending in. Anumi fires blindly at the group.[/b]
-
[b]Raidriar runs into the fray cutting down figure after figure without mercy. The Hunter begins to beat the Caldon he tackled's face in with the butt of his gun.[/b]
-
[b]Its followed up by a sim slamming into him. The tank rolls over the hill firing into the crowd. The strange men begin to retreat to the back, all of them have their bows in lock and do not fight back.[/b]
-
[b]Raidriar's eyes glow a strange golden color.[/b] "That's enough!" [b]Everything stops dead in its tracks, unable to move.[/b] "Anumi! You and Trill get the hell out of here! Now!" [b]Anumi is suddenly able to move again.[/b]
-
[b]Anumi blinks. She wants to help, and she's frustrated at the disaster that her time to bond has gone sour. She slowly complies, rocketing towards Damien's room.[/b]
-
[b]The Hunter is sprinting right behind her.[/b] [i]Meanwhile...[/i] [b]Raidriar closes one of his hands, crushing several enemies, Caldons and practice targets alike.[/b]
