[Holodeck]
Ry and Vyynd have been in the holodeck for the past twenty minutes. The room is a plain, simple do`jo type setting. Currenty the boys circle each other, each watching their opponate wearily, swords at the ready, looking for their opening......
Vyynd gazes down the blade of his katana at Rylan. tr`Tuhmek brings his sword in an overhand arch as if to bring it directly over tr`Khaine's head, but suddenly shifts and swings the blade sideways, aiming to lash at Vyynd's throat. Vyynd dives under Ry's blade, and comes up across with his katana at Ry's side.
Rylan brings the sword around in a fluid motion, blocking Vyynd's blade with his own, and steps in closer to the other, pushing against him hard with his shoulder, and sending the other boy stumbling a few steps back. Vyynd catches his balance quickly, bringing his sword at the ready, and asks "Having fun yet?"
Rylan had stepped back, allowing Vyynd time to regain himself. He smirks at the other boy's question, his wrist circling the sword in his hand, "Ie...and au?"
Vyynd shrugs, "Ie...." then suddenly lunges in with his sword low.
Rylan steps to the side and blocks the lunge easily, "What's a matter Vyynd? Au don't look like au'rh having fun...au look downright distracted." Ry slowly circles the boy, then swings low towards his side. Vyynd spins the other way and wacks Ry in the jaw with his heel. Rylan steps back and grabs his jaw, then spits a wade of blood onto the floor. "Ah! There we go!" he smirks again. Then without warning, he crouches down suddenly, and sweeps Vyynd's legs out from under him with one of his own, sending the boy to the ground.
Vyynd had been laughing at the hit he had gotten in on Rylan as he answered, "Ie....distractions aren't hard to come by here..... WAH!!" as he falls onto his back. Vyynd pushes up on his shoulders and plants a foot into Ry's gut, then rolls backwards to his feet. He spins and swings his sword toward Rylan's chest.
Rylan had taken a few stumbling steps back then regained his balance. He blocks the charging sword, pushing it back towards Vyynd's face, then brings his knee up suddenly, hitting the other in the lower abdomen, pushing him back, "Ie....too bad they're na *good* distractions..." he says absently.
"Define *good*....." Vyynd steps back and goes on the defensive.
Rylan lazily twirls the sword with his wrist again, as he circles Vyynd slowly, waiting for the boy's next move. Spitting more blood out onto the floor again, he shrugs and answers, "Better than bad." then obnoxiously smirks, knowing how much that sounded like something Bhy'hie would've said.
Vyynd nods, "Thanks for......" he taps Ry's sword upward and rushes forward, planting his shoulder into the other boy "*clearing* that up!!" he shouts exertedly.
Ry'd been standing too close to the wall, and he's thrown up against it, cracking the back of his skull. Shaking his head to clear it, he suddenly lunges forward, clanking Vyynd's sword violently with his own, moving the other boy's sword out of the way. He punches Vyynd in the face, landing a hard one on the nose, "Well....what do au term *good* Vyynd?" he asks, intent on moving away from the wall.
Vyynd brings his leg around and forces Rylan back up against the wall. Bringing his sword arm around, he knocks the boy's katana to the floor with his own, then brings his fist back across Rylan's face, "There's no such *thing* as a good distraction."
Rylan began calmly enough, "Now that's the second time..." he suddenly launches himself from the wall, throwing himself at Vyynd. Both boys land on the floor, Vyynd's sword out of his hand, as Rylan head butts him one. "....that some io broke my fvadt nose!"
Vyynd spits blood onto the floor, "Why not....*cry* about it!!!!" he yells, putting his knee in Ry's stomach, rolls and flips him off over his head. Vyynd crawls to his feet, "We can always get D'Tarik to fix it!" he laughs, wiping his chin clean of blood.
Rylan had landed hard on his back, then flipped himself over and grabbed Vyynd's sword, holding it defensively in front of him as he regained his feet. "Well..." he spits more blood on the floor, "At east we're having fun!" he smirks.
Vyynd groans, "Ie....." he reaches his hand behind his back and clutches Ry's sword hilt.
Rylan watches the other boy wearily, "Au ready to stop Vyynd?"
"I suppose..." he grins, "if au are...."
Rylan chuckles and shrugs, "Up to au, I can keep going...." he spits out another wade of green blood.
Vyynd laughs at that, "Good then! Shall we fight someone else for a change then?"
Rylan straightens, and lowers the sword into a relaxed position and nods, "Ie....let's try disruptors this time. Practice our aim."
Vyynd stands, dragging Ry's sword up behind his back. "Ie...so what shall we fight?"
Rylan shrugs, "Pick an alien...there's a whole bloody universe of them." he turns towards the wall, intent on putting Vyynd's sword away and picking up a holo-disruptor.
Vyynd chuckles to himself, "Well...I could always just run the Sprinkles-Kill program I worked on during the academy....." he smiles, "but na....."
Rylan hangs the sword on the pegs on the wall and casts a curious look back to Vyynd, "Na.... let's na kill Sprink. He's an alright ...thing." he shrugs, "Once au get used to it." Ry calls out
to the computer, "Pistols!" As they materialize in his hands, he turns back towards the other boy. "Hmmm.....maybe Jem`Hadar...or Cardies?"
Vyynd puts the katana into the sheath on his back, "Computer, pistol....."he turns to Ry with the pistol in his hand, "Ie, let's play with some Jem'Hadar." he grins.
Rylan looks at the two pistols in his hand, then back to Vyynd with a raised brow, then shrugs figuring he'll go double-fisted, "Ie...." he heads towards the panel to select a scene "Hmm.... caves... or mountains? Which suits au?"
"I'm in a bit of a mountaineering mood....we can always spelunk on our spare time." Vyynd laughs.
Rylan nods, "Ie." sounding less than enthusiastic as he rubs the shoulder that held the heavy sword earlier. He sighs, keying the program in. "Mountains it is."
Vyynd raises an eyebrow, "Something wrong Ry?" he asks as the room disappears around them, the sword hung on the wall successfully hidden from view, as the boys find themselves standing at the base of the mountain.
Rylan turns towards Vyynd, hesitates, then smiles "Na....nathing wrong." he shakes his head, then looks up at the holo-mountain, "Ready?" getting the pistols in a comfortable grip to test them out, he then puts one pistol in the belt of his uniform just as Vyynd spoke next.
Vyynd nods, "As always....but, are au going to climb with those in both hands like that?" he smiles sarcastically at the boy.
Rylan begins the accent, "Hehe...io step ahead of au, Vyynd!" he says cheerfully enough.
Vyynd follows quickly after Rylan. "Ie ie, don't get cocky....."
Rylan chuckles again at that. Then after a moment he asks in a lowered voice, "So....How have au been fairing after ch'Vania, Vyynd?" his eyes scanning for Jem'Hadar as he hikes up the steep slope.
Vyynd shrugs, "Better then I was, I prefer the depths of space to those forests...." he let's Rylan lead the charge, "How about ninte-self?"
Rylan grabs the limb of a tree to help pull himself up as the climb gets steeper. He hesitates, then answers in a mumble, "Can't seem to stop thinking......." he trails off to offer a hand to help Vyynd up as well, his eyes always scanning for the prey.
Vyynd grabs Ry's hand, latching the tree with his pistol hand and pulls himself up, "Hann'yyo...." he suddenly reaches his hand over Ry's shoulder and fires his pistol, hitting a charging Jem'Hadar mid-stride. "That's one...." he grins.
"Fvadt!" Rylan shakes his head disappointedly, "Missed that io..." he continues on.
Vyynd laughs, "Well it was behind au." he smiles encouragingly. "So, what do your thoughts trail on about?"
Rylan suddenly brings his gun hand up, pointed straight away from his body and nails one creeping over a rocky slope. He turns back towards Vyynd, "Eh? Oh...." he lowers his eyes a moment and shrugs, "Just....stuff in general..." he answers, resuming the walk.
"Good shot...." Vyynd praises, then nails one in the shoulder, down the slope from the two. "Ie, stuff is pretty thoughtful material....." he faintly smiles following behind Ry's flank.
Rylan chuckles at Vyynd's remark, "Ie....there's *always* stuff to think about..." he shoots one from a tree that had just jumped down, prepared to land on Ry. The Jem`Hadar vaporized on the way down. Pausing a moment, Rylan turns back to Vyynd again, "What do au say.....we give these guys weapons Vyynd?" he shrugs, and shoots another from a distance. He shakes his head as he explains, "This seems.....slightly too easy....."
"Hrm, indeed....." Vyynd slices one in half in mid-air, "It is seeming a mite too simple....."
Rylan nods, "Agreed then.....computer! Set the program 6 levels higher....give these guys some guns!!"
Vyynd shouts, "Ie! Now the fun's going to start! errrr, computer....give me a rifle as well." he smiles at Ry's questioning look, "Just incase I need it." he slings the materialized rifle on his back, sheathes his katana, and looks at Ry. "Ready?"
"Ie!!" Ry exclaimed, getting the other pistol out, not bothering to call for a riffle, a strange gleem in his eye. Suddenly from over the next ridge comes a charging horde of Jem`Hadar....too many to count, it looks like a whole army of the aliens are rushing down upon the boys. Blue bolts of energy fire on the two Rihans. Grinning madly, Ry starts shooting at random targets, vaporizing the ones he hits.... but still the horde charges on.
"*Fvadt!*" Vyynd rails off countless shots into the horde, then dives clear of several shots that blast a rock behind his position. He rolls to his feet again and continues firing.
Rylan runs to dive behind a rock to shield himself, and plugs off a few more targets. But one manages to get through the carnage and dives for Rylan, grabbing him. The two fall backwards and slide down the mountain's slope.
"Rylan!" Vyynd shouts, shooting several more Jem'Hadar, then slides down the slope behind the boy and his newfound friend.
Rylan let go of his grip on one of the pistols, and he grabs his dagger from it's sheath. Without hesitation, he stabs the Jem`Hadar in the throat as the two bodies continue their slide down the mountain, finally slamming into the base of a tree to come to a halt. "Ah Fvadt!!! This guy's heavier then areinnye!!" Rylan exclaims, trying to push the dead carcass off of him.
Vyynd lunges and plows the Jem'Hadar off of Rylan, pounding it's dead carcass, he suddenly looks up, "errrr, good job....." he jumps to his feet and fires up the mountain at the continuing mass.
Rylan gets to his feet, leaning against the tree as a sharp pain ripped up his side. One of his ribs must have cracked. Taking a moment to reclaims his dagger from the throat of the dead Jem`Hadar, then raises his remaining pistol and continues firing on the charging horde. "Hann'yyo!!" he yells an answer to Vyynd cheerfully.
Vyynd looks awkwardly at Rylan, curious of his newfound killjoy, "I'm up to 37...how 'bout au?"
Rylan flashes him a grin as he keeps aiming and plugging, like a kid at a carnival trying to win the big prize, "Lost count!!" he cocks a brow and vaporizes a few more before asking casually, "Were we keeping score?" then suddenly dives behind some cover again as more blue bolts of energy head his way.
"Na." Vyynd kneels behind a rock, the opposite direction that Rylan had chosen, "Just find it hard to not keep count sometimes....." he laughs and lets out a few more volleys of rifle shots. "Nonetheless, this is entertaining!"
[Much Later]
Coming out of the holodeck the boys are bloodied and dirty and look like they've been in the last great war. Rylan clutches his side, and looks at Vyynd, "I think I better see D`Tarik...." he admits, blood still coming from his broken nose, "Drink after?" he asked cheerfully.
Vyynd laughs and swings his arms around, listening to all his bones crack in series, "Ie....I think I shall just rest a bit in my quarters, don't grow anything new in the mean time......meet at the bar after dinner?" he smiles, rubbing the small of his back.
Rylan nods and grins, then claps the other boy on the back, hard, "Ie! See au then Vyynd!" then limps off toward the turbolift to go to medlab.
Vyynd cringes forward, "Jolan'tru rekkhai...." then crawls off to his quarters.
