Robert stood there as nothing happen. Miraiko raised his eyebrows at this, the boy was clearly putting prana and channeling his origin, but nothing was happening.

"Maybe you have a dud." Nicola said sticking her tongue out and rubbing her hand across her bracelet. 
Vincent looked at her with his face that said, 'why do you have to be an ass?'
"Ok you test him out then Vincent, attack him." Nicola encouraged. 

Vincent looked towards Robert, who just shrugged and then to Miraiko.
"In Asian folklore, Suzaku the red bird was the symbol of the south, maybe it is your duty to activate the Turtle of the North." And then turning to Robert. "Genbu is also a snake, young warrior." He said with a smile.

Vincent turned back to Robert. "Ok here I come." Vincent said sighing. He clenched his fist around his pendant before Miraiko interrupted. "Try wearing the necklace." Vincent looked down at his fist and opened it, stared at it for a while before putting it around his neck.

Ok he took a deep breath, and everyone stood back. "Burn!" Vincent thought but also shouted aloud for effect. Instantly he was coated in a red fiery flame-like aura.

He stepped back, took a look at his arms burning bright and deep red flames of ethereal energy. 

"Ok I'll start off slow." Vincent said, he opened his palm and concentrated a ball of flame into it. He then threw it at Robert.
For a while nothing happened and then as the ball of flames was a second away from hitting him the glove expanded it's scales and a deep blue water, sparklingly clear almost mystical shot forward to dose the flame.

Vincent looked at Robert who just shrugged again and went back to concentrating. 
"Hit him Vincent!" Nicola shouted. Vincent then unsheathed the sword Miraiko had thrown him earlier and instantly the aura extended to the sword. Vincent nodded at Robert, who responded with a similar nod before he darted off. 

Vincent jumped into the strike, it was a simple side strike which he aimed to cut him just slightly on the arm was blown out of proportion. The flame aura had made him lighter and faster as he ran and jumped through the sky, but the weight on the strike heavier pulling him deeper into the strike, it would be fatal now if it hit. 

As the strike came closer, the water started to spiral creating a shield, but as it hit the flaming sword there was an explosion of prana taking the form of steam, but the air felt heavy with the force of magical energy, but like steam sight and senses were temporarily disabled. Noone seeing what happened directly after the sword hit the water. 

Soon the steam dissipated and standing there was Vincent hands held firmly against grip of his sword, but connected to this sword blocking the sword from Roberts body was a bone like turtle shell that floating between Robert and Vincent's sword.

"Seems as if his weapon can only defend. Try and attack Rob!" Nicola shouted she was really getting into this. 
"Go on attack me." Vincent said to his friend.

Robert looked at him "Erm...Attack." he said, sending out a slight offensive signal Vincent's way, instantly the turtle shell collapsed into smaller bones and started to coil round and down Vincent's sword until it reached his hand, connecting again forming a snake like bone creature. The bone creature, seeming to ignore Vincent's flames as if it just slipped under the surface bit him in the hand and Vincent dropped the sword and withdrew his hand. Instantly the sword dropped on the floor and Vincent was unarmed and Robert hadn't even moved.
