Shingeko sighs "... You're biased. Your grudge with Titan and just how much you want to have him be brought to justice have skewed your priorities. The goal is to take down everyone in Neo-Galactic, yes, but we also need to do so in a way that will result in less problems for ourselves, preferrably with less chance of death."

He then takes a moment to look at everyone present

"We already had problems back in that decoy base because of a lack of knowledge. If you're going to guide us while being biased towards your own goal, is it really going to be any different from before? Only this time there are more of us at risk."

Salvador's head tilts slightly downward. Is he saddened by something?

Salvador: ...Very well then...

Salvador starts performing the first few steps of the Panthra exercise. His movements are quick and fast - parrying, sliding, side-stepping and at times leaping as he rotates and swings the staves around him in a snake-like fashion. The whole movement seems more similar to a dance than anything.

Salvador: The secret is to always keep your feet, hands and mind in tandem to each other. Since this is a fast art, you have to react to others actions and attacks at breakneck speed while also being aware of your own space and movements. In other words...

Salvador swings both staves at a tree, giving it a nice big dent. Were it a person, it probably would've broken a ribcage or two.

Salvador: ...It's a thinking exercise as well as physical one.

He stops and taps both staves on the ground.

Salvador: Now we should take it slow, since this is your first time. But show me what you can do.

Salvador smiles underneath his mask.

Salvador: I have faith in you.

"Oh Bassy, I do love red the most. Hair, clothes, lipstick, I love them to be red. The more flamboyant a woman is, the more she's as beautiful as a poisonous flower, right?"

-Lillianna nods, evidently filled with a sense of trepidation.-

Lillianna: Very well then...

-She goes through the motions of the movement, imperfectly replicating Salvador's steps, before slamming both Tsumugari and the stick into a nearby tree... and barely even marking it. The attack does succeed in getting Tsumugari embedded in the trunk, however.-

Lillianna: ...I believe I may have made a mistake somewhere.

-She starts vainly trying to pull her sword out of the tree.-

-The Auric Avenger suddenly slams his fist against the central computer with nearly enough force to punch a hole in the keyboard.-

The Auric Avenger: Fine! If none of you are willing to help me here, then I'm going to go and do this on my own! I swear to you, Titan will pay, even if I have to tear my way through the entirety of Neo-Galactic to get to him!

-He storms off towards the cave's "garage" where the hoverbikes Mr. Fox commissioned for him and Gaia are kept.-

Salvador dissipates his construct and drops his stave before walking over to Lillianna

Salvador: Hmm. Not bad for someone who has never done this before, she most certainly has the potential to be great. If only she wasn't using to pay evil unto evil...

Salvador walks over to the tree and softly places his hand on the hilt of the Tsumugari (and probably over hers as well.)

Salvador: You're using too much force for that. Sometimes all you need is a little less power-

With a few tilts of the hilt, Salvador applies some force and slides the blade out of the tree.

Salvador: And a little more perception and skill. In fact, that is how I would rate your performance. You were focused on the power aspects of the technique and not the flow and fluidity of it, your hands and feet were out of time and your movements weren't as free flowing as they should be. That being said...

Salvador looks down at Lillianna's wrist.

Salvador: Your wrist movement was actually quite good. You were able to rotate both weapons quite well. Out of time and with a slightly sloppy grip- perhaps, but still quite well. That'll help with strikes and blocks further down the path.

-Lillianna looks up at Salvador, seemingly rather confused.-

Lillianna: Less power? Surely my inability to damage the target was the result of a lack of force behind the blow. Anybody could see that.

-Without looking back at the rest of the group, the Auric Avenger mounts his hoverbike, his jaw set.-

The Auric Avenger: (I don't need their help... I should've known that I can't trust anybody. They'd all rather side with a monster like Titan... looks like I'm going to have to confront him alone, the way things were meant to be...)

-He kicks the bike into gear and lets it float above the ground as the teleportation pad warps him to the surface.-

-Titan is pacing up and down in his office, the doors barred in preparation for the coming attack. As such, he seems rather surprised by Shieldmaiden's sudden appearance, though he recovers quickly.-

"I see. Well... Let's make a small change of plans. Emperor, you still do the same thing, but if things start getting out of hand get out of there as soon as you can. Gekkobi... You make sure to draw their attention to BE, but if possible try to stop the Avenger from killing himself, I'm sure Shieldmaiden will have that covered so your priority is making sure the path is cleared. I'll handle the admins, so the less people I have to deal with, the better."

Salvador: Not necessarily.

Salvador angles Tsumugari.

Salvador: If you angle the sword like this-

Salvador then raises Lillianna's arm and straightens it.

Salvador: Then strike-

For demonstration- Salvador picks up a stick, forms a sword with it and holds it in the same position that Lillianna's currently holding her own blade then swing down at the tree with the same amount of applied force that she used and cuts a rather large slice off the tree.

Salvador: -And your good.

Salvador dissipates the construct and looks over to a slightly younger tree by his side.

Salvador: Try on this one.
