Blackclaw's Dark Ambitions

Cyrix walked over and patted his nephew on the head before he asked Syrius "Sharptooth combat, and understanding?" he then folded his arms and said "I thought I was the only one willing enough to travel the Mysterious Beyond and learn from them. It's nice to know I'm not alone in my endeavors....however I am currently overseeing my nephews combat training...."

Cyrix then got a smirk on his face as he continued "However if you would like a 'demonstration'....my nephew would be more than happy to show you!" Longtail's head snapped up from the pile of leafs and he shouted "WHAT?!"

"Oh, please do!" said Syrius with an amused smile "I would love to see what you've learned."

He turned looking at Longtail's uncle

"And it tis a pleasure to see another who shares my field of expertise. Would you happen to do it for sport? I once treated it as a hobby."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #42 on:** December 18, 2007, 08:15:12 PM

Cyrix laughed a bit as Syrius referred to it as a hobby and he replied "Well, I only see it as a necessity...as others will eventually need protection. And someone has to be there to guard them right?" Longtail on the other hand sighed...now knowing with his uncle near there was no way he was getting out of this now.

The young flyer stood up, shook himself off, and spread his wings extending the tips of his claws and tensed his body as he replied "Don't expect me to go easy on you....nothing personal, but my uncle would hate it if I didn't give it my all."

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #43 on:** December 18, 2007, 08:17:38 PM

Syrius nodded thinking nothing of it

"Would you prefer I made it easy or hard on you? I'd hate to do harm on a little one such as yourself"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #44 on:** December 18, 2007, 08:23:20 PM

Longtail just smiled and looked over at his uncle as Cyrix responded "Oh please by all means Syrius give my nephew a good pounding...he has a little bit of an ego when it comes to sharptooth combat and a lesson may be in order."

Longtail's smile widened as he said "Careful uncle I'd hate to drag you into this...you know with your slow reflexes and all." Cyrix face reddened at that remark but he kept his calm demeanor and said "Okay...Syrius you have full permission to use any means necessary to win....just so long as my nephew lives."

Syrius chuckled

"Then come along, little one, let me see what you've got"

Syrius then resumed a battle stance

Longtail gave a war cry in sharptooth and charged! His first attack came in the form of a simple claw attack, followed by a tail whip. Hoping it would throw him off guard Longtail then tried for a headbutt not sure if it would really work.

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #47 on:** December 18, 2007, 08:34:48 PM

Longtail was suddenly caught by surprise, Syrius had executed a tail whip of his own which threw the poor flyer hurdling at a speedily pace towards a large tree

the collision made a nasty crack noise almost the equivalent of a bat hitting a ball

Petrie threw another leaf, almost Ducky's size down towards her. It went down like a leaf would and went a bit away from where she was. She quickly got up and ran after it, soon catching it. She sat down and laughed a abit at the game she had invented for herself. Then the two of them sat, eating while watching what the grow ups and Longtail were doing.

Littlefoot was eating from a nearby bush that he could easily reach. He moved a bit so he could more easily eat while watching what was going on between Longtail and the grownup swimmer.

Mim nods, "Some of us have been learning some sharptooth, but Longtail already knew some. As obviously another young one knew it." She said, meaning Chomper, but leaving his name out since she wasn't sure he wanted to be brought into it and his not being present at the moment he could not speak for himself. "I've learned a little bit by living in the mysterious beyond before I came here, but likely nothing like you folks know." She said. She then get some leaves and set down to watch what would happen while she ate.

Longtail slid down the tree and rolled onto his feet, at first he was a bit wobbly but he quickly stood straight up and shook his head to clear the dizziness that swam about and quickly retaliated. He then took a deep breath...held it for a few moments and screamed....but it sounded more like a soft lulling song, but the effect was enormous! The ground began to shake, and leaves fell off the trees, and a crack formed in the ground...as Cyrix covered his ears from the noise and looked over to the others to see them doing the same including Mim.

Ducky dropped the leaf she was eating to cover her ears with a grimace on her face.
She ran over to where Littlefoot was and to the other side to lay against him so he could, hopefully, block part of the sound with his body.

Littlefoot, lay down with a grimace on his face and did his best to bury his head under his front legs. He lay his head on it's side so the ground could hopefully block one ear and did his best to put one of his feet on his other ear to try to block the sound.

Mim dropped the leaves she was eating also. She grimaced and grabbed one leaf in each hand and attempted to put one over each ear and then her hands over these to try to add an extra layer over her ears to block out the sound.

Petrie, with all the shaking and the sound flew into air, far enough so the sound was not so loud, but close enough so he could still see all his friends and see how they were doing. "What go on. Earthshake not like this before." He said to himself.

Syrius stood there with just the slightest sign of a cringe on his face. He looked at Longtail and waited patiently for the disturbance to stop.

Denton was right next to Littlefoot and in the same position, covering his head with his forearms and trembling at each quake of the disturbances around him.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #52 on:** December 19, 2007, 07:30:08 PM

Longtail finally stopped took another deep breath and collapsed on the ground utterly exhausted. Once the sound stopped Cyrix looked over and seeing his nephew on the ground sighed and stood up and walked over to the young flyer and said to Syrius "He is only supposed to use that move in an emergency as it leaves him worn out and tired. But my nephew is stubborn...." He then noticed that the elderly swimmer hadn't covered his ears and asked "How could you stand there and take that? The others and I were off to the side and had to cover our ears...why didn't you?"

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #53 on:** December 19, 2007, 07:38:26 PM

"Well before I answer that question." said Syrius "I found that very impressive. though I fear it may have attracted certain attention from the others to this area of the valley."

As he said this he looked about the area half expecting Topsy to show his grumpy horned snout any second. but he then turned his eyes upon Longtail and Cyrix "And now to answer your question. I didn't dare cover my ears lest I became vulnerable by rendering my hands useless for battle. If anything, your nephew's attack had successfully given me a nasty head hurt. And for that, I bid congrads for succeeding in inflicting a form of internal damage. No doubt not any Sharptooth can ever withstand such an attack without fleeing."

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #54 on:** December 19, 2007, 07:40:29 PM

Longtail was fast asleep by this point and Cyrix smiled as he replied "Yes...although you should really see what happens after he does that inside a sharptooths stomach! It really is rather impressive."

"I'm guessing Longtail was in another fight...I'm hoping no one got hurt?" asked Grandpa longneck as he came through a set of trees.

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #55 on:** December 19, 2007, 07:46:58 PM

"Oh, of coarse not, my good fellow" said Syrius nodding at the elderly longneck "Longtail here was just showing me a few of his little battle techneaqes. No harm done except to one's eardrum and inner head"

"What is going on here?!?" came another yet familiar grumpy sounding voice. Topsy came into the clearing along with a few others from the herds

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #56 on:** December 19, 2007, 07:57:15 PM

Cyrix immediately turned around and said to reassure Topsy "Do not worry Mr. Threehorn everyone and everything is alright...no one is hurt. This was merely a demonstration." Grandpa longneck looked around and said "Well as long as everyone is safe and unhurt I suppose we can go back to what we were doing before. Just make sure Longtail gets a nice long rest."

AvestheForumFox · **Reply #57 on:** December 19, 2007, 08:02:59 PM

"Such a kind chap to suggest such a thing" chuckled Syrius "We all could use a bit of a rest, I suppose. But then, these treestars simply aren't going to eat themselves!"

He walked over to a nearby tree and started to pull at the branches "I'm about due for a second breakfast then a good mid day's swim."

Ducky stayed in her position for a bit longer to be sure everything had stopped for good before she peeked around Littlefoot. She saw Longtail asleep, or looking like he was anyway, and uncovered her ears. She rubbed her head a bit.

Littlefoot had done his best to keep his eyes on Longtail to see what would happen. Once the noise stopped he uncovered one ear to be sure it was fully over. He slowly stood up when it looked like it was over.

Mim uncovered her ears, eating the leaf she had in each hand before gathering around her the ones she had previously. "A most unfortunate thing to do. Hopefully he'll learn more control in time. Imagine if he was playing a game with his friends and got angry he got beaten and did that." She said.

Petrie waited a bit, but seeing Littlefoot was getting up he flew down to land on Littlefoot. "That like angry longneck stomping ground." He said.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #59 on:** December 19, 2007, 09:08:58 PM

Cyrix gave a short laugh as Longtail began to come to. Longtail smiled as he rolled out of his uncles grasp and right into a pile of leaves and started chewing on several. The rainbow face just sighed and shook his head and looked over to Mim and asked "Would you like to go back to teh cave? Or would you rather go for a mid morning swim?" with a sly smile creeping onto his face.
