When the others began to arrive and make their questions, Nazo sighed a little and stopped playing, looking in Valdis' direction with a slight chuckle when asked about how he learned how to use the guitar.

"I cheated...using my abilities to emulate the ability to operate this quickly. It is just an exercise of trial and error repeated in thousands of thoughts per second to make certain I hit the correct chord." he says, then standing up and watching as the group would assemble one by one. When everyone, or most everyone was finally there, he would stand and look at them, sizing them up.

"Valdis asked me to help train you all. This field is a precaution..to conceal the energy signatures and make certain that a horde of youma don't simply come to eat each and every one of your respective faces." he says calmly, looking at the black cat then chuckling audibly.

"It is simple when you can access the manual to it. It is less powerful than the one on the moon kingdom, but unless Sailor Mars has the power of an aircraft bomb suddenly, then I feel like it would be more than enough to keep the training exercise under control." he says, then stretching a little and then looking at the others. His masked eyes narrow, more intensely becoming focused. Those who have come to learn how to sense energy would feel his energy begin to grow more active.

"I can't tell you how to use your own powers, you should know that better. What I can teach you is how to use them to defeat opponents more powerful than you individually. This will be a constantly occurring theme over the course of your...herohood. Your enemies are always going to be stronger than you one on one, which is why you must work together more effectively. You have been lucky so far, but I know there are those of you who want to kill Scorpio, and when one that powerful goes down, then you will gain the attention of the Covenant." he says as he then looks at the hell hounds.

'Pack of Cerberus. In ten seconds, attack." he states coldly, as the hounds mechanically turn around and look at the various knights and senshi.

"Get transformed and prepare yourselves. Do not hold back, you can't permanently kill the hounds of the underworld." he says, while the hounds, compelled by the command hold back their growing fury.

After Keitha had arrived and said her greetings she lapsed into silence concentrating on everybody and what they were saying. It was a lot of information and events to process in a short amount of time. She grimaced as she heard about the death Kishin and the state of the other. She hadn't known them well, but they were all becoming friends in a sort of way that upon discovering the new made her sad. She sighed realizing this is what they were not invincible, not that she ever really thought that they were, she just never expected anyone to die, even though it would have been more realistic to think that at least one of them would die considering the dangers they would face.

Keitha looked up at the sound of the music as the others did and followed along with them to find the one they called Nazo. He started to speak of training and she couldn't but agree with the fact they needed training. Especially if they were to fight in a group. This had just registered when he said they had ten seconds and the awfully large doggies would be attacking them. "Oh bloody hell." She said as she jumped back and transformed the sound of thunder rumbling as she did so. Sailor Jupiter now in her untattooed and unpierced form unsheathes her sword getting in her instinctual fencing stance. Her aura sizzling like lightening in the air.

Sophia sighs at the fact her efforts aren’t going anywhere. She then takes out a pen and writes on Kenny’s arm: We went outside. My number is… - Sophia. She then leaves to rejoin the others. She arrives just in time to see Nazo tell them to get ready for fighting his hounds. “Glad you were the only playing guitar and not some random stranger,” she says before taking out her transformation pen again.

“Venus Power, Make Up,” she says. For once, she looks somewhat excited about fighting. Probably because she didn’t have to worry about serious injury or casualties, and she could focus on improvement. Nazo wouldn't let anyone actually get hurt... no way. The team could do this, and it would bring them closer together. “Bow of Eros,” summoning her weapon to her side. She aims at the pack. She keeps to the back of the team, not wanting to get in the way of their close range fighters.

Amarissa nods at Nazo's explanations. All of this made sense to her and sounded about right for both Nazo and Valdis. They seemed to have some sort of relationship thing going on. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she continued to focus and listen. Then her eyes widened at the new that they were to be attacked by hell hounds. "Moon Power make up," she said, holding her locket that she always wore and calmly stepping back a bit. Once transformed, she took up her archer's stance and her bow and quiver appeared naturally. She glanced impressively at Kietha's transformation. Even Ama had to admit the thunder and lightning parts were kinda cool.

Once everyone is ready and the dogs start their way she takes aim at the ground at the paws of the beasts, she calls "Moonlight Silver Arrow" before firing. The light from the arrow should temporarily blind the hounds, which could only help.

Valdis just tilted her head to the side when Ama asked why she was so happy to see Nazo, was it odd that she was happy? This made her think for a moment, was she so distant that a normal spout of amusement would make people think it out of character for her? She always viewed herself as a consistent ball of amusement....then again when it came to new people or those she just didn't care for she could be viewed as distant and unamused.

"Is it so odd I'm happy to see one who amuses me so?"

Valdis swung off the dog and onto her feet, giving it one last pet on the head. Her smile leaving her face as the soon to be Chinese food snapped at Nazo. She didn't like the snippy cats tone towards him and instantly grabbed her by the scruff and brought her up to eye level. A scary smile crossing her face as she stared the cat down.

"I don't believe you ever gave me the chance to loooove you"

Her wicked smile showed teeth, she had her costume fangs in giving it an extra kick to the creepy factor. She walked over to one of the hell hounds dangling the cat in front of it.

"Perhaps they would like to love you to?"

Seeing how she probably gave the cat a good scare she dropped it, and walked back towards Nazo. Her good humor returned to her as he explained how he learned. It just confirmed what she had found so funny about the whole subject. He had learned simply for the wtf factor it would bring. Valdis only grinned as the fight got ready to commence...She turned and hopped back onto the dogs back.

"TO BATTLE"

She pointed the dog to a random Senshi.

Luna didn't feel easy about the answer that was given, but before she could protest she was pounced upon by Valdis. Her eyes bugged out as she was suddenly turned into dog bait and her hair raised as she tried to squirm.

"LET ME GO!" she shouts with an annoyed cat howl, eventually getting way and then running behind Amarissa when Valdis unceremoniously dropped her. Fortunately, the dog decided not to help itself to cat jerky.

"...I will find a way to get her for that..." Luna muttered under her breath, perhaps only loud enough for Amarissa to hear.

Kail sees the training session in front of himself and the others. "Mars POWER UP" he called out and transformed into his knightly alter ego. He draws his sword and calmly assesses the situation. To the best of his memory his fire attacks would be useless against these creatures. So he would have to use his own mind and might against these creatures. "Everyone focus fire on one hound and then move on to the next one" he knew that it would come with a small risk against these things. But if they could take them down one by one. It could make there lives a bit easier on these things. Since again one could not truly kill them but put them down for a limited amount of time.

"Strike the one's I am attacking" he said again and charged in and slashed at the closest hellhound that was attacking the group.

“Focusing fire, gotcha…” says Sophia aiming and shooting at the same hound. However, she is reminded with the fight with the wolf that attacked Kenny and considers an issue. The wolves would attempt to surround them all. “Everyone, keep them huddled together. Don’t let any of them break off from the group!” She moves around to the opposite side of Kail in an attempt to help encircle them.

She keeps glancing at the others to see if they need back-up. However, so far, they were off to a good start it seemed.

Yuki followed behind the others. At first she seemed somewhat confused, not sure what was going on, but as she began to realize that this was turning out to be a training exercise she began to grin. Well she might not have the power of an aircraft bomb yet…but she could still have some fun and go all out.

”Mars Power Make-up!” After transforming, Sailor Mars positioned herself in between Amarissa and the wolves….she wasn’t much of a strategist but it made sense to try and protect their archers.

”Just tell me which ones I should hit,” she grinned, small flames dancing around her boots as she prepared to attack. Since her main attack was a slow, big hitter even Yuki was beginning to realize she needed to wait for the opportune moment to release it. Turning her head slightly towards Sailor Moon while still keeping an eye on the enemies she added,

"Since there's a lot of them I'll try and help keep them off of you while you focus on attacking. Just watch my back."

The hounds, once attacks began to be released at them quickly disperse from a cluster formation. With a cacophony of growls and grunts, possibly reflecting some sort of communication. The one that Killian had charged waited for him to get close, and once it got in close range, it opened it's mouth to release a spew of fire and rock at the Mars Knight with little room to dodge. He would have to abandon his attack completely to get out of the harm, and even then he might be grazed in the process.

The other hounds were delayed slightly by the light arrow, but the blinding effect was minimal, perhaps by virtue of the fact their eyes were orange and glowing naturally. Two break off and try to run around Yuki's left to attack Sophia, while two more try to run by Yuki's right to go after Amarissa.

The hound that Valdis was sitting on calmly walked to where Nazo was and then teleported away a few feet, unceremoniously dropping Valdis on her butt in the snow, before charging to join the battle with it's pack.

When he woke he noticed the note on his arm, he blinked and stood up the awkward feeling of a frozen pant leg only confirmed he did indeed wet his pants....how embarrassing.......Well there was a fix for that. He took his pin and transformed into his knight form. He ran a white gloved hand through white snowy hair. That was better and dry, and he looked so sharp in a white suit with a white cape. He walked outside and fallowed the trail of foot prints to the others. His eyes warily watching out for the dogs. Oddly he couldn't see anthing.

And then...POP...there was every one suddenly right in front of him....he blinked. That was a neat camouflage trick. He tilted his head as the group suddenly had their weapons out and pointed at him. Did they really not like him that much? Though then it slowly dawned on him they weren't aiming at him but behind him. He turned around only to see the large hounds he had missed suddenly come charging at him.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!"

The girly high pitch scream pierced the battle field, as he turned around and ran for his life.

Amarissa laughed quietly at Luna before turning her attention back to the battle. The arrow didn't quite do what it was supposed to and Amarissa sighed in irritation as she nodded absently at Yuki. The girl had placed herself in front of the Moon senshi and the black mau. No sooner had Sophia suggested not letting the pack split up, it did exactly that which was more annoying than anything. Kail was also giving off instructions and the Moon Senshi just shook her head. So many people shouldn't be giving directions, though at least they were somewhat on the same page.

"Attacking one at a time when they're split up isn't exactly the best option, it leaves our backs exposed," she offered helpfully, though it was more advice than any really combat instruction. Taking more careful aim at the hound headed for Mars and herself, she fired off another arrow at its feet in distraction and then a second aimed at its eye. It was pretty close so the chances of a miss or dodge were slim, she thought.

Sophia groans as the dogs broke off in different directions. This made life more difficult, and now two hounds were charging at her. She moves and stands back to back by Yuki. “We have each other’s backs, right?” Mostly, they’d be at a disadvantage if the dogs decided to flank one of them alone. She waits for the moment the hound begins to lunge before firing an arrow at it.

She then hears Kenny’s scream. Evidently, he woke up and joined them. She feels a little bad that it was at a terrible time though. “Kenny, you took down the wolf, remember? You can do this! Aim a spear at one of them.” She could use the boy’s help as she starts to get swarmed by the two hounds.

Valdis blinked as she was suddenly dropped on her butt, she scrambled back up to her feet.

"WAIT THEY NEED TO LEARN TO HIT STUFF WITH ME IN THE WAY YOU NEEEEEEEEED ME"

She chased after the dog, only to be stopped and surprised by the sudden girly shreak and white blur that ran past her.

"Damn he can run fast....."

Seeing how she wasn't going to get back to the hell hounds she went and took her place by Nazo. She really didn't think she would be doing much, so might as well entertain herself.

"You were right about the music thing affecting people, covenants been altering my cd's....apparently I'm part of the cause for covenant gaining new members."
