(ooc: In continuation from The Problem; this thread is open to those involved in that thread) Gabriel had left his card with people, told them to meet at the specific address listed on his card. For this would be the longest week in a long while. A small smirk appeared on Gabriel's face feeling entirely confident in his abilities to fight off this menace, in fact he felt incredible for getting another challenge so soon. The only one's he'd be willing to fight were Leon and David and the two had all but disappeared. Two fists fired out into the bag sending it eloped to the side before momentum brought it back around toward him once more. He'd be patient and train alone should no one join but then again he'd be having a certain feeling that there'd be more than one opportunity at this. The gravity chamber weighed him down significantly but in that weak state of mind and body Gabriel could achieve wonders and press his body beyond their old limits. He'd test his prowess and those of the people who'd join him. (ooc: Grav Chamber all stats x0.10 Strength: 10 Dexterity: 10 Constitution: 10 Intelligence: 10 Wisdom: 10 Charisma: 10) |

YOU'VE GOT MAIL BITCHES! An alert had startled her whilst deep in thought designing clothes, she had her headphones on while she listened to low music. Her speakers were loud, where she connected her head phones, but the player was quiet. BADOOOOOPPP!!O__O LOUD NOISE!!!!! Addie had to go meet Gabriel...D: To train some more! WHY GOD!? WHY!? It was an email alert from her calender. She had to meet him and the others at some place disclosed on a card. Fun, right? Time to chill with people? YA RIGHT! It was training time.... Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive Leaving from her apartment, Addie would once again steal her neighbours bike and race off to the destined meeting place. FUNNNNNNNN... Arriving at the destination, the brunette would lean up her bike against a wall and head into the mystery building. "Hallo?" Calling out, she'd continue look around. So, where was Mr. Fancy pants? >__> <___< He wasn't cutie anymore! So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive Nope, no one cute could ever die, come back from the dead..WITHOUT A SINGLE WORD TO THEIR FRIENDS D< Yep, she was still annoyed by it all.... Who wouldn't be annoyed by such things? Maybe having friends like him wasn't such a good idea. Wait, they were friends? There was a frown on her face as she looked around, waiting for someone to catch her attention. The distance sound of movement from beyond a door, and the banging of things. Perhaps she had found him? Walking towards it, she'd open the door and walk in...HOOLYYY FRUCK! Closing behind her, Addie felt....HEAVIER!?..... I DIDN'T EAT THAT MUCH AT LUNCH! Spotting Gabriel, the girl couldn't help but wish for an explanation.

Drea had been surprised when her phone had informed her that she had a message as she'd been studying.
And that message was from an unknown person. She guessed that it was Gabriel. While several of the five that had gathered probably had the resources to find her contact information - which was usually well-guarded - only he seemed to find the concept of training to be useful...
At least, he'd been one of the few that had admitted it.
So, naturally, she accepted that invitation. At the arranged time, she presented herself to the area he'd allotted, geared in stretchy pants and a large T-shirt. She wore, instead of her usual leather cuffs, sweatbands on her wrists. Their uses were the same, but one fit the theme better: training, but still concealing the scars of her attempted suicide from some time back.
Upon entry of the room, she flinched as she felt herself being weighed down.
"Ugh..." she let the sound out before turning towards the two that were already there... Which meant that she made three. Where were the other two...? Assuming they were coming, of course.
But... she wondered if she'd even be capable of training efficiently with her own range of abilities cut down so drastically by the demanding gravity of the room.

Alex sat on his bed, reading a book for English, his headphones firmly clamped onto his ears, when he suddenly felt his cellphone in his pocket begin to vibrate. Pulling his headphones off, Alex pulled his cell out, and saw the reminder he had put down for himself. That's right, Gabriel had left him a card, telling him to meet at the address listed on it. Pulling out his wallet, Alex flipped it open and pulled out the card, staring at it, before placing it back into his wallet. He guessed it was time to go. Pulling his jacket on, Alex walked out of his apartment, and heading to the address on the card. Minutes later, he reached the location, dressed in a plain black t-shirt and loose black track pants.
Once he entered into the room, his eyes flashed in mild surprise as he felt himself being weighted down. Sure, he wore weighted anklets almost all the time, but this, this was on a whole other scale. "!?" Was the expression on his face, as he turned and saw Gabriel and Drea were already here, the third person, the brunette, he didn't recognize, and no matter how much he searched his memory (Which wasn't all that much, considering what little information Kyoko had told him), he just couldn't figure out who she was. No matter, that wasn't really important right now. Training was training, even if his own abilities were reduced this drastically. He would just have to get used to it, he supposed.

Gabriel sighed sitting to the side as the others had joined him in slow progression, 4 out of the 5 wasn't entirely bad. He smirked knowing that he could still get a small gathering together regardless of his past affiliation. A small vibration on the hone he had set aside in the bag, he'd read the text over breifly finding that it was Saint. Unfortunatly he wouldn't be joining them. Gabriel found that to be quite concerning, oddly enough after just one conversation he found a great amount of respect in the man.
"Altight, so unfortunatly Saint won't be joining us today but I intend for us to spend a week of training before these behemoths attack us, and I expect your best, there will be no restraints here beside the additional weight you feel around you."
Gabriel exhaled feeling the hard time breathing with the pressure on his bones. It was all quite incredible this machine, the power it held and the force it gave back.
"Now time to pair up, Drea with Addie; Alex you're with me." Gabriel said before stepping back raising his arms ready for a quick bout, though under the pressure of the room he suspected this to last quite awhile.

SO SHE WASN'T GETTING FAT!?
Heaving a sigh of relief, Addie looked to Gabriel as he explained the happenings. They were to spend the week together, training and prepping for the oncoming attack....Like Dragon Ball Z.. There was no doubt about it, they were going to smell, hopefully they had showers. Listening carefully to the instructions, which by the way weren't much. She was to spar with Drea, how fun.
The cute little girl.
Fighting her....
But...
she was
soo
CUTTTEEE....
Her bright blue eyes looked down upon the girl, she was supposed to fight someone cute? Thinking on it for a moment, Addie gathered that she'd probably get her butt kicked. Even the cutest of people could be deceiving. There was no doubt about it, especially with the school. Drea was crouching cutie, hidden ninja. Perhaps, it was just paranoia, it didn't matter.
Moving slowly, Addie would walk in a weird fashion, making her way off to the side. Taking large over dramatic steps, the brunette would try her best to be serious about it. But the fact of the matter was, everyone probably thought the same thing: AM I GETTING FAT!? Trying to mask her snickering she'd look to Drea and nod in the direction of their area.
D<
ADDIE WAS NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.....
Even if she felt like a fat kid in gym class.
Moving was difficult and breathing was strained a little.
FFFFFFFF~~~
Girly was going down.
<3
Even if she was cute.

Drea raised an eyebrow at the directions Gabriel gave. She didn't particularly have a problem with him since she didn't know him. She did know that he was helpful to Kevala. That was it.
But she didn't like the tone with which he gave his orders. It wasn't a matter of would you or could you - it was more along the lines of 'you will' and that really rankled her. She didn't like taking orders from anyone that she didn't need to.
Still, she obeyed, much as it rankled her. Not because she felt that she had to or that she feared him or anything of that sort. Rather, she obeyed because she recognized that his directives were reasonable.
She lifted an arm and moved it just a bit to check her motion - her new limitations were irksome. She felt even weaker than she normally did. Drea was a bit slower. It took a bit more effort to move, too.
She smiled a bit as she watched the girl coming towards her. She walked awkwardly, and Drea prevented herself from raising an eyebrow. At least she wasn't the only one having difficulties with the gravity of the room.
"Hi," she said, "Nice to meet you."
Drea smiled, almost cheerily. She was getting excited. She hoped it would at least be fun.

The only reaction Alex gave to Gabriel's instructions was him simply folding his arms across his chest. Nothing more, nothing less. Despite everything Gabriel had put both him and Emily through, a part of Alex still considered Gabriel his good friend and ally. No matter what their past differences were, they would have to put those aside, to take on the more important task that laid in store for them. Alex may not like the tone of voice Gabriel gave the orders in, but it's not like he was going to ignore him either. He was just going to do it, because they all needed to train either way. Unfolding his arms, he took note of how slow his movements were inside the room.
Somewhat slow, but nothing he wouldn't get used to after a little while. Facing Gabriel, Alex took no stance, he just stood there, his arms held loosely by his sides. Though it seemed like Alex wasn't ready, in reality, he actually was preparing himself, he was just taking a different approach to the fight. This room was almost akin to the room featured in Dragonball Z, the hyperbolic time chamber. If he was going to get through this entire week, he would have to conserve his energy, because any move he normally could do, would be harder to pull off inside here. "Heh... Just like last time Gabe." Alex said, as he looked right at him. "C'mon, show me what you can do Gabriel Seran!"

A relevantly slow and courteous nod in admission to that, what they all probably hadn't accounted for was the relative reduction towards their timing and reactions, consequently Gabriel had been hit the hardest by this effect. What was the old saying, the stronger you are the harder you fall. Yes much like that, in relativity he was weaker than the rest of them, though by sheer will he'd excelled beyond a basic intrusion.
"Alright then.." Gabriel said in a low yet husky voice taking to swift burst with his speed tearing across the room without the time to falter even a note.
First a left fist would fire in aimed directly below Alex's rib cage where following up his right fist would fire down and across his face only to end in Gabriel reversing on the back pedals of his heels all assuming he wasn't held up by anything nor deterred by any of Alex's actions.

Nice to meet you?
Addie knew the girl, it was the cute one. The one with Katsuri, right? It didn't matter, the only thing that did...was to become stronger. She would have to get used to the gravity difference, get used to it all. All to be able to help, she didn't want to be useless.
"Lets have fun with this." The German-Japanese girl laughed a little as she slowly moved into position, she was going to take the defensive side for once....FOR ONCE!
shessh...
No running in head first....this time.

"Lets have fun with this."
Drea nodded, observing as the other girl fell into a defensive stance. Perhaps... It seemed this meant that she would have to go on the offensive.
She smiled slowly. It was something she didn't typically do, but attacking instead of defending would be an exercise worth working at.
She leapt at the other girl, as though she were going to punch her. At the last moment, though, she dropped to the ground in a perfect squat, a leg kicking out to hit her.

Alex's eyes focused completely upon Gabriel as he tore his way towards him, though considering the weight exterted upon all of them, it looked more like Gabriel was running in slow motion.
From there, a left punch was fired just below Alex's ribcage, as Alex barely managed to catch the Gabriel's arm, as a bit of Gabreil's fist was sent slightly into his torso, but not enough to make him wince in pain, which was a good thing, because Alex barely had enough time to catch Gabriel's right punch. With both of Gabriel's hands captured in Alex's grip, that effectively stopped Gabriel from backpedaling and trying to get away. It was just like the first time the two of them had fought. The two of them locked in a wrestling match of sorts, Alex would yank Gabriel forward just as he released his right hand on Gabriel's hand and proceed to swing his right arm in a underhand hook.
But considering how much his abilities had been cut down, his strike was really 1/10 of how fast and how strong it normally was. This would prove rather interesting. Very interesting indeed...

Gabriel smiled with a sort of contracted retort his power flowing, though at the current rate he couldn't see the adequate difference at full potential but he could feel it nonetheless. He wanted these rounds to be over so they could proceed on quickly without harm. At some point they'd need to test their Qi's and go far enough to say that they were fully prepared.
Gabriel shifted slightly so as to evade the punch feeling it graze his chin briefly. He'd jerk in taking a hold of of his own fist and spin so his shoulder was facing Alex. From there he'd raise his elbow and project it into Alex's face.
(ooc: I find it funny how these two are constantly close quarter wrestling and their kids are fighting like acrobatic ninjas. Lulz)
