Welcome to Gaia! ::

He turned to her. "Got all that?" He didn't give her time to answer, as he turned towards her. Kale moved over to Zeff and stood with him, taking his stance. "Begin." He ordered and Kale jumped into the air, shooting her leg out for a kick, but loosing balance, and hitting the ground roughly. He watched her, "Balance!" He yelled. "Do it again!" He demanded. Kale nodded and got up, a slight limp; and repeated it. Jumping up, and kicking, this time, landing, on her feet; loosing her balance and falling forward. She caught herself and looked up to him. He was looking back at her. No emotion on his face. Pausing he turned towards her; she knew what that meant.

"You're in the home stretch," he told her; releasing her foot, and towering over her again. "You've got 2 more things to learn." He said. Kale shifted lightly, and saw him twitched, as she brushed herself off. The smile came back to her face. "Okay!" She clapped her hands together. "The next move is going to take a bit longer to learn, but you're going to think it's simple." He said to her. She nodded and wondered what he had in mind. "Okay!" He twitched again, annoying girl. "It's called the 'Gut Stuffer Surprise!'" Kale imagined that there should have been sparklers, and fireworks going off after the announcement of the next technique. That alone made her happy. She'd have to get some fireworks.

The flame was back, he seemed passionate about this move. He showed her slowly, once more and then turned to her. "Still." He ordered. "I'd hate to knock the food out of you." He laughed, and it seemed as though; he would be more than happy to do what he had just suggested! Kale rubbed her tummy and stood as still as possible. He walked up to her; he was calm, and she waited for him to do it; but he hadn't yet. Then it came, the woosh of air, and his foot was just barely touching her gut. She felt sort of sick, like even the air from the kick had caused her pain. Her eyes welled up; "Amazing!" She shouted, like she had earlier; thrilled.

He glanced to Kale, "Together now." He said; and fixed his stance. Kale copied the action and took a breath. She could do this, she had gotten this far; and it was the last two techniques this great master could teach her. She was fully thrilled by this. "Kale!" He snapped at her, noticing the glazed look in her eyes, as she thought about the techniques. "Focus." He demanded. Kale nodded and slid her foot, back; her posture was good; near almost perfect. She had learned a good bit for the last hours. He was almost proud. Oh no, wait. That was just annoyance; that edged him into a false sense of proud-ness for this girl. Stupid girl. He remarked silently.

"Your final challenge." Zeff began, telling Kale. "Is a powerful kick to the chest." He continued. "It's something that can be used quickly, in all situations. Often causing push back; if not just knocking the air out of them. Add enough pressure and he can do so much worse." Again Kale looked thrilled, her eyes wide; like a child on Christmas who had just gotten the toy he or she had wanted more than anything. She nodded, "Yes okay!" Kale was pleased beyond compare. She could not wait to finish. She was thirsty; and tired -- and could go for a good old fashion rub down. She sighed outwardly at the thought.

Zeff took a breath and re-took his stance, looking to Kale; who didn't need to be told again to pay attention. Her eyes were already on him. Already full of wonder about what this next move would look like, and how amazingly cool it was going to be; executed. Zeff, prepared for what he was about to show her and stopped. "You sure you can handle this, girl?" He called; if he was going to be annoyed, so would she. Kale's eye's seemed almost to water. "Yesss!! Please show me!" She begged, which he hated. "Fine." He said, raising his leg again. The begging tone, was ringing in his ears. He questioned himself on why he was doing this, anyway?

"Come and show me then." He said, standing away from her. Kale nodded. "Yes Sir!" Zeff watched the girl, as Kale tookstance; a stance he would have to fix; to keep balance for this kick, you had to move your center. He would correct her after she tried however, he had to admit, seeing her fall was -- amusing to say the least. Kale took a breath and went for the kick, jabbing forward; but because of her stance was caught off balance and she hit the ground, landing on her butt. "Oww.." She whined slightly, and then stood back up; rubbing her bum on the spot where she had landed. It wasn't a very attractive thing, but no one else was around.

Zeff walked forwardly quietly, he said nothing. "Good; but as your final challenge..." Telling her, he stopped walking and took stance. "You have to hit me; with that attack." He said. Kale looked towards him, and frowned. "But I --" She was cut off. "Begin!" He shouted and Kale headed towards him quickly, attempting and failing more than once to hit the other man.

Finally, she took correct stance and looked towards him, switching it up and using her other foot and finally landed the hit. "Ha!" She said, getting him in the chest; again, she could tell he couldn't feel it. He stepped back. "You're finished here." He told her simply.

Kale smiled, "Sure you don't want that back massage?" She questioned him. He turned his back to her. "Goodbye Kale, come see my anytime; if you forget what you're doing." Kale watched him go and sighed quietly to herself, slumping to the ground; she took a deep breath.
