The Wolf's Den

[Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!]

James watches Craig's simple killing manouver, then hears his comments about flash killing moves, James simply replies "Practise..." As he thinks about his upcoming mission in Nastyas,

James retakes his position leaning on a wall nearby as Ashley comes over to him "H..How di...Wh.." James interupts her "It's your turn" Ashley turns a little pale and stutters "O..Okay" She withdraws the simple combat knife she wears on her belt and walks up to the dummy, she takes a basic defencive stance and lets loose a few slashes which are not very well aimed, none are killing points on the body, then she does an uppercut stab through the neck and into the head, she returns to the spot she was standing at before looking a little ashamed and embarresed.

Viktor aproaches Ashley, Kris in hand.
"Remember where the vital organs are." Viktor points to the throad .
"Slice this, and your enemy will suffocate from his own blood".
Viktor points to the liver.
"Strike it, and you leave your enemy for a slow and painfull death"
Points to the lungs.
"They are protected by the abdomen, it needs a heavy strike to penetrate through it. Two hands are needed, making it look like hammering a nail into a wall, only it's one brutal strike. Strike it, and your enemy will suffocate too. But there is a way around the abdomen, takes a longer blade. A dagger works here, you need to go from the stomach into the tip of the lung. This move is best done from behind your enemy".
Shows the deep cut.
"Goes from neck to groin. The combined damage of the neck, lung, stomach and groing will kill your enemy quickly".
Then shows the uppercut.
"When you have a longer blade, and are a strong person like James, you can penetrate the skull and stab the brain. Instant death. All these moves require only one secodns each. Now try it again on my mark.
Common. One, two, three, four, five six."
On the second time, Ashley is still not so good at it. On the third its slightly better, on the fourth it's better, on the fifth she does it perfectly.
"It took me a month to remember all these in medical school" - pointed out Vik.
"Use these six attacks if you need to quickly kill your target without raising too much suspision. You don't have to do all six, only one is enough."

[Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!]

James watches as Viktor teaches Ashley how to perform killing techniques and how fast she pickes them up, James lights another ciggarette as he listens to Viktor's heavy Russian accent, James thinks to himself I knew she had potential....I would still have prefered it if we did not have to deal with her though...oh well, too late for that, I suppose we have to teach her now James silently puffs on the smoke in the dark corner, his light silver hair and the end of the ciggarette all that is visible from the middle of the room.

James lets his mind wander to tonight and what he would be doing I suppose the OG wont miss a few more of it's officers. James muses to himself, he never was one to take life lightly but he knew the nessecity of killing.

James wanders over to where Viktor is teaching Ashley and unsheathes his Black Machete once more handing it to Ashley "Try it this time with this blade, It may look cumbersome but im sure you can handle it, it is not as heavy as it looks" Ashley takes the blade examining it, it has been polished black through endless hours of work, on the side there is an inscription Dea Draconum Spiritum Obscuritatis, BD

[CrazyHobo]

Viktor watches, as Ashley suprisingly handles the machete good. It truly was a beutifull sight of a dancing blade.
Then Viktor has a memory, that is connected to the sabre he keeps with himself all the time.
He unshealthes it, looking at the engraving, written on it. It's written in russian, it says "For the Empire". This sabre is roughly 116 years old now. It first belong to his ancestor, that was a brave russian officer during World War 1. It became a family relique. Then his great grandfather used this sabre to kill 15 nazis during World War two. Then his uncle, that was in the spetznaz used it in Afghanistan. Now it's in his hands. The familie's warriors are supposed to keep it, and Vik was at first just a doctor. But the day came. Vik's uncle tried to hold of the zombies, when they first came. He was old, and not so powerfull as he was before. Never the less, many zombies found their second death, when Vik's uncle held them of to save some civilians.
Before succumbing to his wounds, he gave Vik the sabre, saying, that it goes only to the warriors of the family.
Ever since, Vik's been putting his knowledge in medicine and anatomy to be a better warrior.
116 years. So much blood on this blade.
Once the zombie crisis is over, he will pass it on to his off spring, that will be a soldier.
Vik always believes, that the crisis will end.
As long as humans live, there is hope.

But time to return to the present.
Vik congratulates Ashley on her nice handling with the machete, but then says.
"It's rather easy to hit a dummy, that is not moving, it's much harder to kill someone, who actually moves. A lot harder to kill someone, who knows how to blade dance".

[Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!]

James steps foreward at Viktor's words "Ashley, I want to teach you the importance of dodging in hand to hand combat, any fool can learn to block but dodging takes alot of skill and training, something Im willing to teach you if you are willing to learn" Ashley lookes at James in disbelief, here is a Zero Agent offering to teach a Cliath combat techniques "I want you to try and kill me with that machete, I will not be fighting back, only dodging" Upon seeing the expression on Ashleys face James said "Don't worry, you wont be able to hit me, and even if you do we have a doctor in the room" He points at Viktor "I want you to try and follow my moves and learn from them, now, go" Ashley hesitates for a moment, then swings the blade at James who sidesteps out of harms way, Ashley then does a vertical slice toward James who jumps back out of harms way "These are simple ways of dodging an enemy, if you really wanted to you could dodge untill the enemy has no strength left to fight and just finish him off at your leisure" Ashley charges foreward and in a stabbing action lunges at James who quickly steps to the left and lets Ashley fall off balance after the attack "Between Viktor and myself we can make you an efficiant part of the Fang"

[CrazyHobo]

Vik remenicices about the talon, that the longarm left in him, during the testing into Fosterns.
It's after it, that he learned the importance of dodging.
"But blocking is also essential, when fighting a smart enemy or a zombie. A smart opponent will predict your dodging moves to his advantage. Zombies never exhaust" - pointed out Vik.
"Look at James's patern, remember it. It's a rhytm, it changes slightly. Make a few more attack and memorise it. Then you can counter it. Though don't expect to succeed for your first time on James. Took me three tries to finally lay a scratch on him back in the old days"

   The door behind the 'dancers' could be heard slowly creaking open. A figure strolls silently into their midst. With a near silent *schling* the figure unsheathes a large blade, whilst assuming a low stance. Suddenly, he lunges forward with startling grace, relieving the dummy of it's arms and legs, too fast to visually notice. Jump-kicking off of the target's head, he lands in a flowing back flip, dispatching it efficiently with a .45 to the head.
   "Guess who..." Carter calls to the training party, "I'm back from my trip. Anyone got any requests?" He settles onto the floor, laying out a decent run's spoils. Various assorted ammos, and some decent guns. "Looky here..." he states, sliding out something from his coat, "It's a Barret M82A2... I prefer my Draggy though," he gently pats his favorite gun. "Any takers?"
   Also, dodging is a very important skill out here in this hell hole, look at me. I'm a sharpshooter, I was never very good at avoidance skills, ask Hobo. But one I got my hands on this baby, *Pulls out Amputator proudly* I realized how much more efficient it is. Now, the only thing I've got to worry about are those damn cheap-ass crows, *laughs*.

[CrazyHobo]

"I prefer big firepower, rather then single shots. If I want to do it quickly, I'll pull my knife. Now then, while our friend check the assortment" - paused Vik, only to then pull out his sabre. "I'd like a real blade dance. Care to join me, Carter?"
The sabre is light and deadly, so Vik can use it in one hand, making his other one free to either grab his opponent or toss his kris at him.
Vik stands into a defencive stance. Carter is loud, he prefers to go first. Vik uses it to his advantage.

[Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!]

"Ashley, the guy here who likes to make a flash entrance is Carter, Carter this is Ashley, now that introductions are done" James turnes back to Viktor "Zombies may never tire, but humans do, constantly blocking a longarm attack takes alot more effort than simply dodging it, as you know well." James turnes back to Ashley "Dodging is very important, but like Viktor here just said blocking an enemy is also a vital part of staying alive, sometimes you are faced with attacks you simply cannot dodge and blocking is your only option" Ashley noded slowly to show she understood James put his hand out to signal he would like his machete back, she gave it to him "I want you to watch how Viktor and Carter fight" James says to Ashley "This will make a good demonstration"

[TRHeadshot]

  Darting forward, Carter feints to the right, rolls back over, bringing his blade upward.

[CrazyHobo]

Vik already predicted how Carter will go.
He's predictable. All loud people are.
He still stands in his defencive stance.
He can finish it in 3 steps, but Vik decides to put up a good show for James and Ashley.

[TRHeadshot]

Nearly instantly, Carter pulls away, this time adopting a calmer persona. Flipping his Ampy to face downward like a dagger, he pulls his right arm to the top left of his left shoulder, so that the blade is angled in front of his face. Assassin style. He then crouches, prepared to strike or defend at a moment's notice. ((I fight like this IRL at times, it works well))

[CrazyHobo]

((ok, me and TR are gonna make short parts to make it look like a turn based fight, instead of writing huge paragrahps about each other))
Hmm...defencive too? I hate to be on the offensive, but looks like this guy aint going first this time. Let's see, dagger pointed downards, so there will be a lot of slashing from him.
Vik charges Carter in a quick pace, saber pointed for a stabbing action.

[Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!]

James and Ashley watch the almost beutiful swishing of blades, Ashley being much much more interested in it than James, who looked bored, But then again he always looked bored, Ashley was struggling to follow the movement of the two expert swordsmen "Wow..." She muttered silently James light up another smoke and said more to himself than anyone else "I could use a beer..."

[TRHeadshot]

Carter holds his ground, like a statue.
