Colossus By Design: Entry 0047 - Antics Abound

[November 6, 2145]
[Old Houston, former American continent]

[Blade of the People is being tutored on various martial arts maneuvers by Serizawa's Light]
[Tzar Bomba V2, Freedom of Justice, and Union's Warrior are practicing grappling techniques together]
[Royal Commando is laying down on top of a hill, looking towards the clouds]


(Arthur Roy): You blokes still practicing that hand-to-hand?

(Thomas Scott): You know, you COULD join in. It doesn't hurt to know a bit of CQB, in case any monsters wanna claw your face off.

(Arthur Roy): Thomas, I have the greatest ranged weapon out of all of us, and have cryo-sprayers and British self-defense training for up-close and personal attacks. I think I'll be fine.

(Thomas Scott): Are you sure? Sasha has been showing us--

(Sasha Kalashnikov): HAA!


[Tzar Bomba V2 grabs by Freedom of Justice the torso and performs a suplex on him]


(Thomas Scott): Ughgghh.........

(Arthur Roy): I rest my case.

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Oh, sorry!


[Tzar Bomba V2 picks up Freedom of Justice, dusts him off, and puts him back on his feet]


(Sasha Kalashnikov): But I DID tell you to pay attention and never let your enemy out of your field of perception.

(Thomas Scott): Right, got it.

(Arthur Roy): Though I am interested in what the those two are doing over there.

(Thomas Scott): Oh, them? They've been training together all day.

(Arthur Roy): Why? Is she STILL on about that "Alpha"?

(Karen Marais): AHH!


[Union's Warrior curls up and begins to shake on the ground]


(Thomas Scott): Karen!

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Don't worry, Thomas, I've got this.

(Thomas Scott): Alright. I'll tell you about it after we give them a bit of space.


[Royal Commando and Freedom of Justice walk away; Blade of the People and Serizawa's Light take notice of Union's Warrior]


(Arthur Roy): The hell was that?

(Thomas Scott): Ever since Karen came back after her battle with the Alpha, she's been having fits at its mere mention. I guess because she was nearly killed that day by it. Sasha's been helping her deal with it.

(Arthur Roy): Damn, I had no idea.

(Thomas Scott): Just remember that next time, alright?

(Arthur Roy): Right....


[Back with Union's Warrior, Tzar Bomba V2 is crouched down and calming her down]


(Sasha Kalashnikov): ...Everything will be fine. We're all here, he isn't. Okay?

(Karen Marais): T-thank you, Sasha.

(Sasha Kalashnikov): Not at all.

(Thomas Scott): Are we alright now?

(Sasha Kalashnikov): I believe so.

(Arthur Roy): Karen, I just wanna say that--

(Karen Marais): No need. You didn't know.

(Arthur Roy): Well, if that's the case, I think it's about time for some more training.


[Royal Commando helps Union's Warrior to her feet; Tzar Bomba V2 stands back up as well]


(Thomas Scott): Hey.... why the sudden desire to start being productive, eh?

(Arthur Roy): Oh, you know, shooting practice, and I figured you lot are gonna want my expertise in the field anyways.
