OF course since his return Gabriel spent a boatload of change putting his money into a massive assortment of facilities primarily to give back to this comunity perhaps open some doors along the way to new talent. It was something in particular he enjoyed. Fighting was his birthright as the great Nova Dragon but he was also a descendent of Militia. He remembered his routes well, always out for those under the oppression of the strong. Though now he was the strong, but he wsn't forcing an idealist society based solely on strength like the new hierarchy sought to do. He chuckled at the thought of their society. A funny mockery, they even made Matthew AMtrum's Hierarchy look good.
The sound of swooshing punches buzzed in the air. THe bubble house training building shook with each punch. He'd been in there only a few minutes. His Gravity chamber. Altering the weight of the EArth by x10 he hoped that people would use this as a way to grow and develop at a point where natural means couldn't. As for any competition he welcomed it.

Okay so this voice in her head was really getting out of control. It was getting her into some strange shit lately. Like now. Where do you think Kevala was? Well here of course. Entering into some form of chamber where she knew Gabriel would be. She had come by to check it out. Why? Cause he had asked her to of course.
Though why she had chosen now to do such she would never know. But none the less here she was and as she entered she would look toward him.
Oh no! Not here to fight him. Just here to sit quietly and watch. Sure that somebody would show up to take him on and it would be good for her to learn, if not really freaking funny.
So, with a small wave in his direction she found a spot out of the way, for now, and sat. Yes, she was fine just taking a side line seat for now.

He smiled briefly at the sight of Kevala, always a warm sense of friendship seeing her in good shape. Though quite a while since their awkward moments and even longer since Katsuri had gone. Yet again what was left in the past should die there, Gabriel was a man of the future never tied down to one place and consistently growing.
Here he would testify that now, showing that he was clearly superior. 10x Gravity training was for those who could handle themselves anyone who felt crippled beneath the weight would certainly not be ready. But in time it'd become a thing of the past, Gabriel was building something big that would make him flawless in battle. Perhaps he'd even defy what David and Leon had dreamed. Because it was something that Gabriel had dreamed of, The Lord of Dragons.
Naive indeed but he could never settle with being simply sub par, always he'd remain that dreamer, and eventually he'd ascend them all and continue to grow far beyond simply the imagination.
A quick set of thrusts into the air, each javelin brought him a coat of sweat, warmth mixed with dampness made him burn up faster and faster. He wanted proof that there was to be no limit, that these things were in his power to alter and control.

Did I just suddenly get fatter or is that just me?

"Who turned up the earth in here?" Matrim asked and then looked over to Gabriel, "Gabriel, it's good to see you're still alive," Matrim said, walking toward him, he noticed Kevala, but decided to focus on the person in front of him, "However I'm sure there's a Blaze out there who is probably really sad he didn't kill a former dragon. I on the other hand am pretty psyched. So, this is nifty huh? I feel like... I feel like I'm back at Paragon in this place... it's actually quite nice.
"So, is a dead man like you out of practice? Or have you been floating around creeper style? Either way you're out of practice huh?" Matrim said, cracking his knuckles, "Why don't you show me what you're capable of?"

(ooc: Oh look! I can finally post again! )
Kev watched Gabriel, her mind going over things she had to get straight, but she was not in the mood to deal with them today. No, she would just watch, feeling the weight of the room and shaking her head. That man had some strange ideas every now and then did he not?
Then came another. Oh looky looky....her brow rising slightly as she looked toward Matrim as he spoke. Gabriel? Out of practice? She could not stop herself from laughing at those words. That was a really good joke.
Finally regaining herself she would fall silent, letting those icy hues shift now to Gabriel as she waited for his response. This was going to be....interesting to say the least. Perhaps she would learn something today afterall. And to think she had almost given up hope.

Gabriel's movements didn't stop as the sheer force the room processed carried his fists all the way through, he didn't even stop to reply simply muttering with a quick smile.
"I wish I could say the same." the amused grin lit his features remarkably for such an interaction.
He'd had his of and on moments with Matrim at times and oddly enough he could pick out the little details that irked him. But of course that was simply being picky, rather he had qualities that were decently good that simply pushed himself to attain one way or another.
The title's for one, noting their first meeting when Gabriel had struck out against a crippled man probably set his future in stone that they were to be enemies perhaps. Or maybe it was that chess game. Certainly Gabriel had been naive and too forgone on the offensive looking towards the future rather than what lie out before him but regardless they'd come to stand here now. A feeling of uncertainty as to how the events would play out. At each other's throats? or at an easy ceasefire?
Gabriel made a mock grin at the comment about Blaze, "I'm sure he has mixed feelings on the matter.. I'd bet his more high strung than ever."
Gabriel cued in the comment about him being out of practice, normally that would have made him laugh but then again he wasn't sure of his own full potential. He'd been fighting against relativity new faces and under the radar as to avoid detection while he trained. The nearest thing he'd come to were David and Leon and each of them hadn't used tactics as he did. So in the end Gabriel's full potential was certainly unrealized at this point. Maybe somehow he preferred it that way.
"hmm... I don't know for sure..." A small shrug going back to hitting a heavy bag magnified by the force of gravity, "If you want to go at it I'll give you the choice of all out or bare necessities..." Gabriel said tilting a head to the wall where his equipment had been laid out. Quite honestly he didn't care if he was outmatched, perhaps it'd give him a reason to work harder, maybe even grow beyond. Because he had indeed wanted to be the strongest of all the Dragons.

"If you want to go at it I'll give you the choice of all out or bare necessities..." He said and Matrim laughed looking over at it. He wanted to go all out of course, no matter how much.....
It's just the... bear necessities...
God damnit Gabriel now it's stuck in my head....
"Full out," Matrim said, "Wouldn't have it any other way."
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam, I couldn't be fonder, of my big home....
Matrim reached to his back, grabbing his quarterstaff, spinning it around his wrist and twisting his wrist so that it ran across his forearm and stuck out a bit.
The bees are buzzing in the tree to make some honey just for me....
"Bring everything Gabriel," Matrim said, "It'll be interesting to see the kind of work out routine dying is." He'd say, and with the pull of his hand the quarterstaff would be diagonal in front of him in his right hand, his left hand coming out to grab onto it at about shoulders width from his right, "But we better not use Qi if we want this place to survive the tumble."
When you look under the rocks and plants and take a glance at the fancy ants... and then maybe try a few....

She could not help but roll her eyes lightly. Men and their need to prove which one was better. It was sickening. Shaking her head she would push herself across the floor until she was a sufficient distance from the two. Her icy hues scanning over the pair as she drew her knees up and settled her arms across them. This should indeed be interesting to say the least. Though she was unsure how long she would be able to sit here without getting hit with something. Heh.
Why had she come here?
Oh yeah, to watch and learn of course. Well she supposed she was going to be getting her little wish. With a little sigh passing her lips she would glance from Matrim to Gabriel. The tip of her tongue running slowly over her lips as she thought about the last comment Matrim had said.
Yes, Qi was probably not a good idea. She did not really wish to get hurt today and if these two went all out and started with their Qi's that was a very likely possibility.

Gabriel took his time, as much as he had a fascination with fighting with powerful foes he didn't look forward to this, limits being set up in the first moments or so was the initial agreement. Gabriel was normally one to keep up with his word but he'd made no promise here. Besides since last they'd fought his Qi had grown and become more focused that before. Even using his power at this point would have a controlled design.
He tool a grand amount of time slipping into the ties which he'd built for himself, years of his own labor without the assistence of others, he'd been alone in this existence but he'd see that his hardwork would be an everchanging effect unto this new world.
As he set the gauntlets on last Gabriel slouched back on the seat breathing deeply before standing. Yes he'd take his time with this, no sense in rushing this. Gabriel stood sending a fleeting glance at KEv before focuing forward.
"By all means bring it." He smiled sending Matrim the first jesture of their bout, hands forward and stance spread.

"By all means bring it." Gabriel said, and Matrim did. He got ready to attack, he would be using his weapon the quite a lot of skill, having trained with it quite a bit. He would side step forward, his left hand going forward would send the left side of the staff toward Gabriel's face, and just before committing to the strike and before a grab could be made on it he would change the direction, pulling back on that left fist and snapping the right forward to make the strike faster with the strength and speed of his movements, aiming to catch Gabriel behind his knee caps and sweep him off of his feet.
If that did not work Matrim would push against the upper part of the staff to bash Gabriel in the nose with the metallic object before pulling away completely, returning to his defensive stance with his staff. Eyes staring into Gabriel's eyes but his peripheral's keeping complete guard for the movements he may make.

And there she sat, watching, noting the fleeting glance from Gabriel and simply grinning ever so slightly. Then they were off...Matrim going after Gabriel.
Her eyes followed the attack, taking note of every detail, she was content to watch, cause yeah...these two would tear her apart and she knew that.
She may have been weak but she was not stupid!
~You gotta admit that Gabriel looks hot!~
~What the fuck!? Where did that come from?~
~I just wanted to say something~
~Well pick something else to say damnit~
~Well its true~
~Thats beside the point~
Shaking her head. Oh yeah! She was supposed to be paying attention. Damnit! Icy hues once more returning to the pair as her mind fell silent.....for now.

Gabriel had done weapons training before but they generally refered to that of blades, staffs however weren't his strong point. He figured he'd have to be careful the first bout till he got a feel for the way Matrim handled himself. Gabriel also was cautious as to how his own body reacted under the rooms altercations. Having less power then normal his reactions would be a bit skewed from the ordinary.
Watching closely Gabriel kept close notice on the staff as Matrim had used it almost like a club, at least from first interpretation so that is how Gabriel moved to defend raising his right arm to guard the left close behind to bolster that block should it fail.
Unfortunatly things change, as did the momentum of the strike. Shifting the alternate direction Gabriel didn't move fast enough to counteract the strike.
*Twack*
Falling backwards from the hit Gabriel tried to recover in something of a flip so that he wouldn't be adversy effected by the ground. Alternatively the gravity of the room shifted his weight and movements off par from their normal field forcing him unto his chest. USing his hands Gabriel would thrust up on his feet in a ready stance to block the next blow. Raising his hands he'd grab the staff mid thrust towards him dulling the hit against his face so that only his own kuckles smacked him in light comparrison to his wood (sexual pun intended). Gabriel would pull from his abdomen and go ariel still holding onto the stick and use MAtrim's pull momentum wise and extend his feet to kick him in the face upon the return, of course in the last second he'd use muscle's from his torso to thrust into the kick as well.

(OOC: Just so you's knows the staffs metal. It's an item and such, but sexual pun was appreciated nevertheless =P)
Gabriel went to grab Matrim's staff and seemed to want to kick him in the face. Well, better time than never for Matrim's extra arms to come into play, coming out and going inside of his upper arms which remained grabbing the staff, his hands would catch Gabriel at the ankle and grip down so that now kick could be performed. Matrim would wink before bringing his right knee up into Gabriel's lower back along the spine.
Once he did that he would lower his knee, his hands would not, however, let go of his feet, nor would his upper arms let go of his staff. If Gabriel did nothing, he would continuously knee him along the spine of his lower back until he did.

Okay so yeah, she was watching and she was really learning but she could not help but get a little angry everytime Gabriel got hit. Oh come on! She loved the guy! Despite what type of love it was she did love him. But that was beside the point!
~I want cheese!~
~What the hell are you talking about!?~
~Well what else was I supposed to say?~
~Fuck! Go back to talking about Gabriel's ass or something~
~Well he does have a nice ass!~
~Gah....cheese...I swear...~
Yeah she was having fun in her little world. Not like anyone noticed. Hehe

(ooc: Damnit...coulda said stick but that loses edge psh) Everything was going fine until Matrim became Goro which was received with an OMGWTF face the instant he suddenly had four arms. There was little that could be done from that position other than to be throttled to the ground and have his next attack. Only an instant before being knee'd Gabriel would shift so that the knee drove into his side rather than the spine. Still hurt, but at least it wouldn't permanently impair him for some time. "Gah." He breathed turning over now so that Gabriel was in prime position to grab the next kneecap driven into him. Hands elongated Gabriel would grasp the knee rammed into his chest and pull close to him first off then twist. While twisting his legs would plant into the ground behind Matrim and Gabriel would pelvic thrust so his weight would come from beneath the man and attempt to throw him off balance. If that was achieved Gabriel would slide under his weight and pull himself together behind him aching slightly. He was fairly impressed that Matrim had pulled a few tricks out now. But of course he was still interested to see more of the man's power, or at least what he'd learned in Gabriel's stead. Last they'd fought it was cut short by blood lust, now here on less serious terms at least in Gabriel's mind.
