Chapter 4.5: Determination and Fluff
Verde: *he sat quietly by a nearby window in the training room eyes fixated on the outside view with the memories of his battle with jade 2 days before, the thought kept echoing in his mind like a loud horn slowly eating away at what little self-confidence he even had left.*
Roka: *lightly walked into the area and saw him sitting alone…something told her that he wanted to be alone and that talking to him would only make the situation worse, but despite this she knew at heart that was the last thing he needed and proceeded forward* verde…I know it’s hard for you right now but we really need to talk.
Verde: I’m a failure…I let myself down and I let my team down and because of that they were nearly killed in the process I’m not fit to be their leader anymore.
Roka: don’t say something like that it was just one mission…
Verde: IT WASN’T JUST ONE MISSION!
Roka: *she softly gasped*
Verde: it was more than that….to me it was at least, this was the one mission I couldn’t control
Roka: Controls...are you referring to your semblance?
Verde: I want to be able to control my life…to walk my own path and obtain my own destiny not one that is laid out for me!
Roka: life isn’t just something you can control Verde…everything happens for a reason you can’t just sit here and fret over something you had no control over!
Verde: if I had better leadership skills they wouldn’t have been injured like this!
Roka: they were injured because the enemy was too strong!
Verde: !!!!
Roka: I don’t even know who you are right now Verde….I don’t know if you are a leader or a stubborn fool who is crying like a whiny bitch because things didn’t go his way.
Verde: *he remained quiet*
Roka: you lost to someone stronger than you that’s all there was too it yet you sit here drowning in tears as if you lost something valuable but guess what…you didn’t lose anything but your pride that day everyone came back safe and sound and that’s all that matters.
Verde: i-I’m sorry I just…
Roka: you are letting your past eat at you too much…if you keep letting it run your life it will consume you and take you down to the depths of hell with it, instead of worrying about winning petty fights worry about coming back alive…to me to your home…to beacon.
Verde: I just don’t know what to do anymore…
Roka: I know what will help you…fight me
Verde: what!?
Roka: fight me with your bare hands and we will exchange words with our fist to see if we can find the answer.
Verde:….alright I don’t think I have choice anyways * he removes his hooded cloak so it wouldn’t get in the way and careful removes his eye patch not releasing any aura around his body.*
Roka: *she softly glanced at his left dust implanted eye and smiled praising its beauty as she gets in position* come at me.
Verde: * he gets serious dashing forward throwing out a spinning punch*
Roka: *she stands firm and softly leans to the right slipping out of the punches reach and presses her hand under his arm flipping him over into the air.*
Verde: *quickly regains his balance as he lands and dashes right back in preforming a fast punch followed by a roundhouse kick.*
Roka: * she quickly blocks the speedy punch but is swept aside by the kick as she Is flown back a meter*
Verde: *he proceeds to leap into the air to perform a flying drop kick*
Roka: * she gets in stance holding out her hand as she places her hand on his foot letting it pass by her as she grabs his leg in motion and softly spins and throws him back on to the ground.*
Verde: * slowly rises up looking down as his aura accidently started to rise around his body.*
Roka: im starting to get really excited…* her hair began to rise up shortly and pink aura surrounded her body as she breathed slowly.*
Verde: hehehe so we can finally get a bit serious now! *green aura surrounded his body in a burst as his right eye turned the same color as the left and he smirked as they both dash forward at each other performing a series of multiple punches.*
Roka: *their fist clashed with each other’s making slight shock waves shaking the ground, both of them smiling and laughing as if they enjoyed the sounds of battle as she finally ended the exchange by unleashing a swift powerful kick to the chest sending him flying to a wall.*
Verde: * regains his balance by letting his feet touch the wall and bounces off of it charging at her with a flying roundhouse kick.*
Roka: *quickly ducks appearing behind him as she throws out an aura charged palm strike*
Verde: 8turns around using his hand to push her arm up and elbow her as he leaps and uses an axe kick missing her but the shockwave knocked her back a meter as he tries to follow up with a swift punch.*
Roka: *her aura rises as time slowly starts to slow down around verde as she carefully leans under his arm and charges her fist with aura swiftly punching him in the chest causing energy to shoot out from the back putting a dent in the wall and making his eyes widen as he opens his mouth in shock and pain as he fell to the ground.*
Verde: *coughs a bit holding his chest as he rolls over* that freaking hurt for a sparring match don’t you think?
Roka: * softly giggles* well it WAS going to be a simple sparring match but then we got all wild
Verde: you know that sounds really wrong when you say it like that?
Roka: *blushes and holds her cheeks* oh my so lewd! You are so naughty!
Verde: you are one to talk….
Roka: im sorry what was that? *evil smirk*
Verde: n-nothing >w>
Roka: * giggles softly and leans down as she sits and places his head on her lap* don’t you seem much much better now?
Verde: * he looked at the ceiling for a bit and thin smiled* wow…I think you are right I don’t feel sad or angry anymore so all I had to do was hit something? Didn’t think it was that easy.
Roka: its more than just fist fighting silly…you took your frustration out and fought with all you could and accepted the loss and didn’t cry about it this time *she smiles softly*
Verde: in other words…I just have to accept the results and move on…wow roka you should seriously consider being a teacher!
Roka: *blushes and holds her cheeks* so lewd!
Verde: whoa whoa what were you thinking just now? I had a totally different meaning to that.
Roka: *smiles softly as she leans down and kisses his forehead now placing his head on her fluff*
Verde: * he quickly blushes shyly looking away* roka…t-thanks for everything I think I feel like myself again and even more.
Roka: *smiles* you are welcome after all this is the true power of the fluff!
