Welcome to Gaia! ::

Realizing what Noah was referring to the man shouted in anger, "Why you!" he yelled as he charged towards Noah. This guy was too fat to be dangerous, he couldn't be quick and he didn't appear to have any weapons. However Noah had judged him too quickly he pulled out a dial, it was one Noah had seen before. Fearing what it might do Noah revealed his cutlass. He then proceeded to slash forward however the impact of the hit seemed to be absorbed. "What is that thing?" he asked. Before he got an answer it released a cutting power that was equally strong to the slash he had just made.

After finding Wiper again, Ben laughed for a while. He thought about the Reject Dial a bit. It was a bit reckless to buy something like that without knowing what it was. Then, Ben remembered that he had bought something new at Lovely Street. He smiled and brought out the Burn Bazooka. Wiper raised an eyebrow when he saw it. Ben grinned a bit and spoke to Wiper. "Hey, what do you know about this thing?" Ben waited for a reply. Wiper simply grinned. "Plenty." That made Ben smile. He threw one arm into the air. "Yosh! Could you tell me about it?" Ben chuckled a bit. Wiper nodded. "Not only will I tell you about it, I will also teach you how to use it to its fullest extent." Wiper grinned.

Burn Bazooka Tactics: 1/5

"I won't let you leave the Shandian Grounds not knowing how to use a Burn Bazooka." Wiper grinned. He seemed to have a lot of pride in the weapon. Ben simply smiled and nodded. "To begin, the Burn Bazooka is basically a hand-held cannon. But it is quite heavy and requires skill to maneuver well with it." Ben nodded. He understood that much. For some reason, the explanations were easier to understand that the demonstration. Though, that was only sometimes. Wiper grinned. "Now I will teach you the Burn Bazooka Tactics." Again, Ben nodded. He liked the fact that Wiper was teaching him something. It made Wiper look like a good guy. So, Wiper began his explanation. Ben listened intently to what he might say.

Burn Bazooka Tactics: 2/5

"Burn Bazooka Tactics can be used well with Guerrilla Warfare. But only in forest and rocky-type terrain." Ben nodded. He had his hands in his pockets, but he was listening. "If used correctly, the Burn Bazooka can be a powerful weapon that could get you out of many situations. Although if used poorly, who knows what might happen." A bit of nervousness came over Ben. Though he let it pass. "Now, I will show you just how powerful a Burn Bazooka can be!" He laughed a bit, then brought out his Burn Bazooka. It was about the same size as Ben', though Wiper's had different design. "Now, watch." He grinned a bit, then turned to a tree. Quickly, he fired a shot from the Burn Bazooka directly at the tree. Ben watched in amazement as the projectile snapped the tree in half. And it kept going, too.

Burn Bazooka Tactics: 3/5

The Burn Bazooka's bullet was able to snap 5 trees in half before stopping. Ben was amazed. "Wow! That's so cool!!" Ben laughed, happily. Wiper grinned, then turned to the side of the mountain. He took aim and shot a bullet out of the Burn Bazooka. Upon impact, a rather large crater was formed in the side of the mountain. Once the dust cleared, Ben was able to see the bullet stuck in the side of the mountain. Ben, again, laughed happily. He thought that the Burn Bazooka was amazing already. Then, Wiper turned towards an open area and shot one more bullet. It was able to travel quite a distance before coming to a rolling stop. Ben saw how far one of the bullets could travel. Wiper simply grinned.

Burn Bazooka Tactics: 4/5

He put his Burn Bazooka away and looked to Ben. "Oh, and I forgot to mention that the Burn Bazooka can only be used 3 times before needing to be reloaded." Ben nodded as Wiper set his Burn Bazooka down. He reloaded it, then put it away. "Yes, a very strong weapon indeed." Ben nodded. He then turned to a tree, then shot his Burn Bazooka. Again, it was able to level 5 trees before coming to a stop. Satisfied, Ben put the weapon away. "That's a very strong weapon." Ben smiled, repeating what Wiper had just said. Ben looked around and looked at the damage. A crater in the side of the mountain, a bunch of trees snapped in two, and a bit more. Ben smiled. Wiper grinned. "You wana learn more? Find Aisa. She may be young but she has a warriors heart." And with that Ben went off to find the young girl Aisa.

Burn Bazooka Tactics: 5/5

[COMPLETE]

Aisa giggled a bit. "Oh, I have one more thing to teach you. It's another useful technique, that I use often. But it doesn't always work." She laughed a bit nervously. "It's because I don't fight much, and I don't know a lot of attacks." Ben was confused. "What's the technique called?" Aisa smiled. "It's called Mental Block. It lets you temporarily erase an opponent's mind for a while, which prevents the opponent from using techniques known by the user. And that's why the technique doesn't always work for me." Ben understood, and nodded. He thought about the technique for a minute. "How would I use it?" Aisa giggled. "I'm not really sure myself. It has to do with the chemicals in the brain, but I'll just tell you how I do it." Ben nodded and waited for an explanation.

Mental Block: 1/6

"Basically, I just look into the opponent's eyes. I can tell what kind of techniques they know from their looks, personality, and things like that. And then, I blink, and then they forget all of the techniques that I know. It's fun sometimes. I used to do it a lot to my friends, but not so much anymore." Ben laughed. He looked at Aisa a bit and wondered how she could have come up with these techniques. "Sounds interesting." He chuckled. "Oh, it is. And really fun." She giggled a bit. "Okay, should we try it out?" Aisa asked this, in a slightly hushed tone. She looked kind of embarrassed for asking, though Ben simply laughed. "Ah, sure." Aisa giggled with ease. "First, you need to teach me a technique. Because I probably don't know anything you do."

Mental Block: 2/6

Ben nodded. "Sure. That'll be easy." He thought about a technique that he could teach Aisa. He knew it couldn't involve his Cursed Fruit powers, and he probably wouldn't want to teach her something concerning a weapon. Ben thought about a fairly easy technique to teach her. Finally, he came to a conclusion. "Okay, I'll teach you the Sunlight Punch technique. It's really easy, and I learned it, just a while ago." Aisa smiled. "It sounds pretty easy. Sure, teach me that!" She giggled a bit, and Ben chuckled. "Alright, basically, it's a very speedy uppercut punch. Like this." Ben performed the Sunlight Punch technique, not targeting anything. Aisa watched in slight amazement. "That was cool!" Ben laughed.

Mental Block: 3/6

"I know! That's what I said when I first learned it!" Ben chuckled, though he had forgotten if he actually said those words. It was only a while ago, but Ben didn't really remember what he said. Aisa giggled. "Like this?" She attempted the Sunlight Punch technique. Ben chuckled. "Yeah, that's basically it. But try to do it a little faster this time." Ben nodded, agreeing with himself. Aisa just smiled and giggled a bit. She performed the Sunlight Punch once again. "That was perfect." Ben nodded. Aisa jumped up and down and giggled. "Yay! I learn the technique!" This was pretty amusing to Ben. It made her so happy to learn a simple technique.

Mental Block: 4/6

Aisa calmed down. "Okay, now I think you should try that Mental Block technique on me now." Ben nodded. "Sure." He looked into Aisa's eyes. Already, he knew that she knew how to perform the Sunlight Punch technique. Of course, Ben had just taught it to her. He then blinked, and Aisa looked as if she had just woken up from a dream. "Woah." Ben smiled and crouched down. "Okay, Aisa, Perform the Sunlight Punch technique on me. Right here." He pointed to his cheek and and turned it to Aisa. He braced himself a bit for an impact. Though he knew that the punch wouldn't really be that hard. "The what? Sunlight Punch?" Obviously, Mental Block had worked. Aisa had forgotten completely how to use Sunlight Punch. She didn't even know what it was.

Mental Block: 5/6

Ben laughed, performing the technique successfully. Aisa shook her head. Her memory came back. "Woah. Hey!" She looked to Ben and performed the Sunlight Punch on his cheek. Ben was a bit surprised that Aisa had actually hit him. He fell backwards and simply laughed. "Oh, sorry." Aisa giggled. Ben laughed. "It's alright. Haha." Ben rubbed his cheek a bit, then got up. He shook Aisa's hand, though he didn't know why. "Arigato, Aisa." She simply smiled and giggled. Ben nodded and looked around. "Well, I better get going. I want to explore the place a bit more." Aisa nodded. "Well, goodbye." She smiled and walked away. "She's a good kid." Ben chuckled to himself and shoved his hands into his pockets. Skypiea was just getting better and better.

Mental Block: 6/6

When Ben was left wandering the area he again he somehow walked into Upper Yard, though he didn't really know of that. "I really got to learn the places around here and stop getting lost...." Ben thought as he wandered around. Soon after Ben stopped walking. He didn't want to get lost too deep into the area. After a while Ben began to hear footsteps. Facing in that direction and about to unsheath his Kouryuu Moui a voice was then heard. "Let me guess? Your another Blue see dweller," The voice said. "Yeah. Whats it to ya?" Ben said at that direction. Soon after a man came out and showed himself. "Let me guess this then. You must be hear to learn from me?" The man said.

Iron Cloud Weaponry: 1/5

"Well actually...I'm sorta lost..." Ben said as he scratched the back of his head. "Hah. Well your in Upper Yard, and this is where most of we priest roam," The man said. "And just to let you know, the names Ohm," Ohm added. "Okay? Well I'm Ben Takemitsu?" Ben said as he had his right arm rest of the hilts of his swords. Ohm looked over at his swords and said, "Ah. You must be a swordsman, eh? Well do you happen to have the Eison Dial?" Ben nodded his head and then soon after he took out the dial from within his bag. "Good. Then it looks like your ready to learn this technique," Ohm said and somwhat didn't show any emotion.

Iron Cloud Weaponry: 2/5

"Alright then. So what are these Dials supposed to do anyway?" Ben asked. He didn't know anything about the dials and what they do. He just bought them cause he thought they seemed useful, thats if he knew what they could do. "That dial, the Eison dial, allows you to turn your weapon into any other weapon, when attached that is," Ohm explained a bit. "Lets just move onto the technique now, "Ohm said, "This first technique is called Iron Cloud Weaponry. Once you get that Eison Dial attached to any of your weapons you will learn how to transform your sword to all sorts of weapons." Ben just nodded his head and then took out his Kouryuu Moui, attatching the Eison Dial to the hilt of the sword.

Iron Cloud Weaponry: 3/5

"Good. You got that part down now all you have to do is learn how to change your sword into another weapon. Heres an example for you," Ohm said as he then took out his sword. "Eison Hammer!" Ohm said as his sword then turned into a giant hammer. "There, that should be easy enough for you. Now you try," Ohm said as he then turned his Giant Hammer back into an ordinary sword, but at the hilt there was the Eison Dial still attatched to his sword. Ben just witnessing the use of the Eison Dial now had to make an attempt on its use. Though Ben still had to think of a weapon to turn his sword into.

Iron Cloud Weaponry: 4/5

After a while of thinking of weapon Ben finally thought of a weapon to turn his sword into. "Eison Whip!" Ben said as he then turned his Kouryuu Moui into a whip. When it had turned into a whip his sword had first gone thin and then turned loose into a whip. "Hah. Very good. Now lets see you turn that whip back into a sword," Ohm said as he had a slight smirk on his face. Ben just nodded his head a bit and then soon enough his Eison Whip turned instantly back into a sword. "Very good. It seems that you've caught on quick. Now we can move on," Ohm said as he let out a smirk. Ben didn't bother to say anything as of now, and he was still holding his sword.

Ben gained his breath back after that lst technique. Hearing that there was one more technique in store for him he would like to see how helpful and good this technique was. "So whats this technique called?" Ben asked. "The name of this technique is Ordeal of Iron. This technique will take some time for you to master no matter how skilled you already are. Though it may be quick if you get it right away," Ohm said, "The use if this technique is quite difficult for you must take the time to set up a large amount of iron cloud, fasioned into the form of a barbed wire. Once this is done, you send the barbed wire into the ground the can be manipulated to shoot out and pierce your opponent."

Ordeal of Iron: 1/8

After Ohm had finished explaining Ben asked, "Uh...Would you just mind showing me the technique instead of just explaining?...I think it'll catch on quicker for me." Ohm just let out a slight sigh, and then said, "At least this is the last technique so I'll just show you so you can get out of here already." Ben just glared at him for a while. "Just do it already," He said not really pleased. Ohm just nodded his head once and then took out his sword once again. Ohm took some time to form a cloud of iron. It was not too hard for Ohm to create since he had pretty much mastered this technique.

Ordeal of Iron: 2/8

After he had formed a cloud of iron he then thrusted his sowrd into the ground. And soon after Ohm thrusted his blade into the ground. When thrusted into the ground several barbed wires began to pop out from beneath the ground and then were coming at Ben. As they closed in Ben jumped back but since it kept going he just continued to jump back. Having his back hit against a tree he took out his Kouryuu Moui and stabbed it to the tree. Jumping atop it he then jumped into the tree pulling out his sword from the trunk of the tree. The barbed wires still coming at Ben he then jumped into another tree and that was about the last of the barbed wires.

Ordeal of Iron: 3/8

"Was it neccesary to attack me!?" Ben shouted out from the tree he was in. Ohm just merely laughed at this fact. It was almost if this was his whole plan from the start. Ben jumped down from the tree and before you know it Ohm was going to use the Ordeal of Iron again. As Ben came down he slammed his sword to the ground and then a huge crack appeared from the slam. It made it all the way to Ohm and made a wide enough crack to cause his leg to fall into the hole. "Lets just get onto learning the technique instead of using it on me," Ben said as he had he held his sword behind his head.

Ordeal of Iron: 4/8

It took Ohm a while to get his leg out of the but once he did he said, "Alright, enough fooling around! Get working on that technique now!" Ohm sounded quite mad but Ben ignored him for that fact. Ohm just leaned against a tree again with his arms crossed just watching Ben. Ben already had his sword out so now he had to work on the use of the Ordeal of Steal. Ben was now taking his time since he needed to form the cloud of iron. As time passed a cloud began to form. It slowly grew bigger and soon enough it was about the right amount to use the Ordeal of Iron. Ben then thrusted his sword into the ground and then a barbed wire popped out but only one came out.

Ordeal of Iron: 5/8

When Ohm had seen that he began to laugh. Ben just glared at him and said, "Hey! This is my first time so shut up." Ohm slowly began to stop laughing though he was not even scared of Ben. Ben was begining to not like Ohm much now, but since he wanted to learn a few things he was the first choice. "I can't wait till I find some new guy to train with..." Ben thought as he still glared at Ohm. Gaining his focus back Ben began to form another cloud of iron since his last one had disappeared after that last try. Forming about a good amount of the iron cloud Ben then thrusted his sword into the ground again.

Ordeal of Iron: 6/8

When thrusted into the ground more barbed wires began to pop out from the ground. It seems that Ben had gain a bit more control to it but he was not able to make the barbed wires go too far. After it had stopped he then looked over at Ohm who had not been paying attention. Ben then came up with an idea, though it would take him some time since he still had to master the Ordeal of Iron. Forming another cloud of iron that was about enough to make it go further he thrusted it into the ground. The barbed wires then began to pop out form the ground again till it struck a tree. Seeing that he was now ready he then went on with his plan.

Ordeal of Iron: 7/8

Ben took his time with the last cloud of iron to create and ample enough of it to make it go further and be more sufficient. When he saw that it was about enough he then thrusted his Kouryuu Moui into the ground then causing barbed wires to pop out from the ground. The were heading for Ohm, who was not really paying attention as of now. The barbed wires then went around Ohm and the tree he was leaning against. After completely surrounding Ohm Ben pulled his sword from the ground and then went up to him. "Now thats done, I'm out," He said letting out a grin as he then walked away. Ohm looked quite mad but there was nothing else he would do to him, as of now...

Ordeal of Iron: 8/8

[COMPLETE]

Shura gave off a loud rather arrgant chuckle and then said "It would be my pleasure to explain. You see, this here is a string dial. Within it is hundreds of feet of string, invisible to the naked eye. Once I shoot it should you get intwined in it which you just did it will be almost impossible to escape! So now you are mine to with as I please!" Cindy got tired of hearing his constant jabbering soon enough and then said "You have two choices. Either get me out of this string yourself or I will personally escape from this mess and then kick your a** in the worst possible kind of way."

Ordeal of String 5/7

Shura's laughter stopped for a second but then soon started up again. "Seriously now, how does a girl such as yourself expect to escape from the Ordeal of String let alone kick my a**!?" Cind sighed lightly only saying "You asked for it." and with that her body exploded causing all of the string to melt away and snap and untwine. Shura simply stared and then said "Well, she killed herself. I suppose that takes care of that though I had no plans on what to do with her." Though once the smoke cleared Cindy stood in the center of the smoke with her fists clenched

Ordeal of String 6/7

Using the quick pace technique it took her absolutely no time at all to have her hand around Shura's neck. "Try anything and your head will be gone." Shura said nothing, all he did was simply stare down at her with beads of sweat glistening all over his face. "Now, you taught me how to use one of my dials, but who can teach me how to use this one?" Cindy said pulling her Reject dial out with her free hand. Shura then simply said "The Shandians, head west and you can't miss it." Cindy smiled lightly and threw him against the ground and headed West.
