I smile "I appreciate the concern bas long as y life line remains intact I can't die. besides I've lost count of the number of dimensions that I've been to, but every time I go to a new one I evolve. so trust me when I say that I'm a force to be reckoned with. but I never said I was invincible if i did then that was a lie. after all in case you've forgotten I lost an arm but look at it now." I raise my right arm it hasn't finished regrowing but it was 3/4 of the way their.

Ruby smiled "Well welcome back to the land of the living Icestorm. It's no surprise to me that you came too before Frenkenrus did considering that he sustained more injuries at a greater severity then you did. It's a merical he didn't bleed to death before he got back from saving you." the sword glowed brighter and it became golden armor. It made contact with Icestorm she's right. what Frenkenrus did was reckless and stupide but very brave. I only hope that he'll survive.

the peralisis is only temporary. it isn't a fatal thing. only Destroya's venom. you'll be fine. but Frenkenrus on the other hand. Ruby could tell what's going on. but she only pretended to worry since she still hated Frenkenrus.

"I'm going to be strait with you, but do not take it so seriously when I say this. Your healing abilities are quite lacking for such boasting. My own abilities, as far as I cam tell, far surpass yours," he stated with a slight grin as they entered the training room, "I would challenge you, but I feel the fight would be uneven without your sword, because I've been impaled through my heart before, and even that wasn't enough to stop me from protecting the ones I love," Lucien them gestured to his front left leg, "This limb has been severed from my body more than once before(and no, this is not a Raiden reference XD), but my ancestral power allows it to be reborn in a matter of seconds, if the situation calls for it at least," he explained this much about his past combat experiences because he felt he should tell Durza that he was not quick to give up when it comes to combat.

I smirk "same here. I can keep fighting even if i get my head chopped off. and i can regrow my limbs instantly if need be, but the down side is that when they comeback instantly they don't last long since it's a rushed process. besides my sword isn't the secret to my power, but it does help get an extra 10% when i need it. so please don't underestimate me, I find it very insulting." the last sentence I said rather playfully.

"Loosing your head and shaving control of your body makes not logical sense. Your brain, which is placed in one's head, controls the nervous system. If what you say is true, then by my knowledge you shouldn't he alive at all. Your so called life line must be near exhaustion by now, I am sure," Lucien stated as the test tube came floating around up next to himself, "It is just a magical object, the magic will run out eventually. If it doesn't, then you will outlive your own family, and that is something I would be tortured by."

with a strait face i say "it's more complicated then that really. I'm not proud of the meatheds behind how i got it but basically my soul, or at least what would be close to resembing one is stored in my life line. all of the power i have and gained gets stored in it. but your right though. i do fear that i will outlive my family but no as much as i fear for their safty. my very essence is in my life line. if my body is destroyied then my consiousnes will be trapped inside my lifeline where all i can do is just exsist. I knew the risks when i meddled with dark magic and i took it. it was ether that or die before i ever had the chance to marry my wife, let alone go on our first date."

"A noble reason to allow darkness into your life. I was born with it, had no choice," he started, "A Golden God Dragon, like dragons of light or shadow elements, are born with a balanced light and dark element. They are to choose which element they wish to use, and can never switch back. A light dragon still has darkness in them, but not enough to access, and vise versa for the elementals of dark, also known as shadow," he raised his paw, claws pitch black, with shadows forming over the test tube to keep it elevated, "I was born with Shadow. I am not as strong in the light element because of it. I can do so much more with my base elements without my ancestral abilities than most elementals," he swung his paw out in a semi-circle direction. Shadows shrouded the whole room, dark clouds formed about the floor, "With the shadow ability I posses, I can attack from anywhere at any time. My body itself becomes a shadow form, and you cannot touch me physically," he demonstrated by waving his paw into his chest, where it just passed through without restriction.

I study him in his intagable form rather impressed "impressive. even I, with shadow being one of my most primary elements, don't have such extensive mastery over shadow as you do. but i may have something that would come to a close second."

"I am, however, vulnerable to other elements. My ancestral power allows me.to have some immunity to them, just only just," his visible physical form dissolves into dark clouds like the rest of the room. His voice now coming other locations, and moving, "I am, mentally, in one location at a time. I will not talk to my target in combat to keep from being found. Attacking blindly at the shadows will only drain yourself," all the darkness and shadows formed into one solid figure of Lucien. His claws faded a little, but were their natural black, "Now, what would you consider you close second to be?"

I smile and say "just this." then in a puff of dark smoke about 15-20 versions of myself appear. we speak in unison as I say "keep in mind this is only partly an allusion. the clones are real yet their not. held together by my energy they are made out of shadows and can produce the same attacks as me to some extent. if you look at our energy you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the real deal or the copy because we all have the same energy. the clones can't take a hit to well but they can dish it out. also I can summon many more copies. last I checked I could summon up to a hundred at a time but it's been a long time since I've attempted to beat my record. other wise their is my most powerful attack but I haven't used that in like 40 years or so. other wise that's about it for my shadow element. but I can't use my other elements exept for fire at the moment. ever since I arrived in this dimension nearly all of my elements got locked away so now I can only use shadow and fire, and that's not including the powers I gained when I was training with Goku and his friends."

OOC: You made another DBZ ref...

Lucien looked about, "Granted I cannot see, with my ancestral abilities, which one you are, but you haven't made any movements yet, so the original still stands before me. And with my ancestral abilities, you cannot escape my sight, I am only second to my own son when it comes to speed. By that I mean you'll have to travel at speeds greater than light itself to escape my eyes," he then released the test tube into his paw, "We can test each others abilities in one on one once I have made my final analysis on this venom," he then gazed up at Durza, "In fact, I want you to use it against me. I want you to hold this liquid in your mouth and bite me," he sent the vile flying at Durza.

ooc: don't forget he has been in a dbz dimension and is part saiyan.

They all smile "actually none of use are the original." they all melt into darkness even the one standing before him "I'm actually right behind you."

Destroya thought for a minute "do have one idea but I'm not too sure it will work well without some time for me to get used to having a body again."

Lucien did not turn to face Durza, "I will let you know this now. Even though I have the ability to surprise my enemies with illusionary abilities like my shadows, I choose to face my opponents head on. I will never try to trick my enemy," he had the test tube change trajectory, flying around to Durza, "My previous idea still stands. If you will not," he glanced back by turning his head only, "I'll just get Cale to assist me instead."

Destroya smiled "I know you will. Mind showing me to the training room my king?"

I smile "now what kind of nephew would I be if I wouldn't help family out? shame on you uncle and after when I just told you that I find it insulting when others underestimate me, of cores I'll help you out, why wouldn't I?"

Lucien gave a quick smirk, "Then quit biding time," the tube top was removed. Lucien's eyes were currently a golden hue as to use earth to hold the glass tube again.

Cale had returned to his ship after a walk around the Forward Dawn. Taking up a position atop his cabin, he looked over the visible damages that were still inscribed into the surface plating. He seemed a little down, mood wise, like something terrible had just happened. His expression was nearly blank, except for the tilted brows that made him look destroyed. He then lay down, culled up slightly, looking out into space through one of the bay windows.

ooc: i completly forgot what Durza should be doing right now, mind filling me in SD?

Destroya fallowed, feeling eager to get some exersize in.

Destroya grinned "thank you dear. I'll be able to handle things myself from here." She entered the room and took a minute to think. she smiled and said "lets start with my fight with Frenkenrus and his minions earlier. I would like to be ready for my rematch with him next time we meet."

She thought for a moment longer then said "and I'll fight them in a plains battle field."

Destroya looked around a minute "this will do. now lets get started." and with that she charged at her adversaries eager to get started. so the training has begun

OOC: Lucien was going to have Durza take the venom, hold it in his mouth, and bit Lucien. To create a more realistic experience.

Cale shuffled a little as the stars in the distance moved and changed through his eyes. Blinking a few times he lay his head down to, closing his eyes for the first time in a few days now.

ooc: thanks.

I revert to dragon form so the bit could be more life like and put the venom on his fangs carefully yet quickly and bit Lucien injecting the venom.

Lucien winced a little from the bite, he knew he would, but had to keep his guard down in order for the venom to take its full effect. He could have hardened his scales to be as strong as diamonds and broke Durza's teeth, but that would defeat the purpose of the session. Resisting the urge to fight back, he felt his body become weak. He could feel himself falling, but couldn't stop it, "It targets nerves. Forces them to stop receiving information from the brain, but still transmits to it," Lucien lay somewhat motionless atop his limbs. He couldn't use any motion required elements. He could breathe a gust of wind, for it seems the only nerves the venom attacked were those that allow the body to move. He steadily forced his body to combat the foreign substance, and soon he had enough mobility to sit up again. Lifting himself from the floor, "Well, if you would like," he made a scoff of a laugh, "I'm currently close to a rag doll, I haven't necessarily had a good beaten in a while, but," he then turned to face Durza, the bite markings were covered by golden scales for healing, "I want you to fight Gray. I believe you are the only one who can match him in a fight, without the grey element."

Oh you're too much, Lucien. Really, you're insisting on having me challenge this guy. Of all people, him? Really? Don't make me laugh! Its not good for my health. Gray added

I think about it then say "no. the fight would get to far out of hand and it would be disastoruse. besides i want to see how much of my power i can use at once in my ultamite form. and i would like for you to be present for my attempt incase something goes wrong, and with my luck something will go wrong."

Frenkenrus began to grone, he was starting to come to.

Ruby grew uneasy, KaRyu looked at her, he left a pice of the armor on Icestorm so he could hear. touching Ruby's shoulder KaRyu asks is something wrong? with an uneasy look "i don't know i just got a bad feeling is all." if it's Durza i can assure you he is just fine. i have a direct link to him so i'll know imediatly if something's wrong.

Lucien gave a light smile. Slowly standing up, back on all four, "We can have such a battle in a non-real realm. I am sure, if the worlds stay true, there are portals or doorways to locations meant for such conflict," he walked over next to Durza, "But I fear our conflict with Icestorm's brother has yet to halt. I also fear that Icestorm will not have recovered enough by the time we meet the foe again."

I nod and say "if their's one thing I've learned in all of my years of work is that things like this are only just the beginning. That's why I wan't to know what my current limits are so I know were to get started on surpassing them."

Lucien paused for a moment, as if searching for something in his own mind, "I know where we can train against each other, full power. Icestorm and Cale can join us as well. Neither of us will be harmed there," he started for the exit door, about to head for Icestorm in the infirmary, "If you could please fetch my friend, he is quite out of my reach at the moment," he wobbled as he stood in the doorway.

I nod saying "sure thing uncle." and head off looking for Cale

Steadily making his way back to the infirmary, Lucien approaches Icestorm. Take a more stable position against a solid formation within reach(such as a wall), "Icestorm, could I bother you for a moment? I've got an idea that I would like to try. It is a training event of course."

Cale watched as the stars in the distance moved by as the ship cruised through space.

I reached the docking bay to find Cale on top of his ship. I hop up next to Cale and say "uncle Lucien wants to see you in the infirmary." I then hop down and start walking to the infirmary.

OOC: Cale didn't leave. He's just atop his ship in the bay, looking out the nearest window.

Lucien nodded, "Quite the same here at the moment, but what I have to offer is not going to require physical efforts. It is a mental sleep state my kind use to train with our ancestors. I should be able to tap into your neural senses, linking our dreams. It is not a lucid dream where you can do whatever you please. It mimics the natural world, and that includes your personal limits."

ooc: wops my bad. lol. I edited my post so it will work.

Lucien nods, "Precisely. Now it will not make you stronger physically, but you can learn what your body is capable of without first hand effecting it. It is best for mastering ones element rather than one's muscle tone, to shorten its explanation."

Cale had no idea what it was that was about to happen, but figured if Lucien called for his presence, then he shall join them. Cale then stood up, shaking his limbs awake, and jumped to glide down from atop his ship. He glanced back to his craft once before walking away. Following Durza to the others, he thought a little on what it could be he was called for, and he also thought a little on what he was going to do after all of this.

Lucien grinned a little, "You won't need to. With everyone's effort, from what I can gather from you all, we could stay connected for about a day's worth of hours, 24 to be exact." He then turned to face Cale and Durza as they entered the room, relatively just before they entered too, "I will explain it all better when we get there. Or maybe my parents could," he added, "We will more than likely run into some of my ancestors or family members when we get there."

From what Lucien had just mentioned, it became clear to Cale what he was intending to do. Realizing this, he got a little concerned about Gray interfering.

I smile and say "mental training egh? well I should warn you that the last time I did that was back home about ... 62 years ago I think and their were some ... unexpected occurrences in the physical world. mainly if I push myself too hard which I always do so if I vanish in the middle of training, something has probably gone horribly wrong. just for fair warning." Ruby rolled her eyes and said "oh dear ancestors don't remind me."

"This is my kind's special realm, you will not be able to activate any physical world abilities." Lucien turned to face the center of the group, "It would be best if we all lie down," he stepped over close to Icestorm, "I will be stationing myself in the middle of you all. This will allow you to be positioned on a bed, being of equal or lesser distance will make the connection much easier." He proceeded to lay down, keeping his head up to wait for the others.

Cale shrugged, it wasn't the first time he had done this with his friend. It was a long time ago, however, but he was grateful that it worked a lot more than one would think possible. In fact it was the reason he learned he could communicate with his abilities.
