[b]"Finian, Thomas, You're up."[/b]

'Phantom' Stepped up to the arena and had to bite down on his bottom lip to not laugh as he looked over at the one in the red cape. This was going to be interesting. No matter the powers, he knew that he had to be fast. Sadly, it might be time to let his secret out. Thomas wanted to talk, to tempt, to tease. Get his opponent emotional and flawed, but is what what 'Phantom' would do? 


Finian quickly jumped up but as he did his head banged against the counter. He squealed quietly while rubbing his head before walking over to the center of the room where Thomas and Finian were going to have their spar. Tis was very interesting, they had a very rough meeting back then and now are up against on another. [color=pink]"But wait, I don't exactly know how to activate my powers or anything..."[/color] he told the teachers while staring at Thomas and offering him a small smile with a friendly 'don't hurt me' look. Finian was very scared of Thomas, he looked like the type of person to draw blood on his opponent in order for him to stop. 


Watching the way Finian carried himself, he came to a slow decision. Phantom could be a ghost of vengeance or justice, Thomas was here to be a part of the team. That starts with education.
[color=f7976a]"Then don't use your powers. Use what you know, rely on what is dependable, did you want a staff or a club?"[/color]
It was odd to hear his voice coming out of a psycho grinning mask. Normally he would have taken the hood off, but he needed to get used to the weight and obscurement of the mask. Making it hard for others to see his eyes also meant it was hard for him to see out, he would need to talk to them about vision enhancement if he was going to do this whole 'ghost' thing.


A staff or a club...? Finian didn't know how to use none of those things, but he did know how to use the computers! But that wouldn't really help him out in this case. [color=pink]"I don't know how to use none of that... but I ... don't know if I shou- how about I forfeit and you win the match then?"[/color] he asked while raising an eyebrow as he stared at Thomas with his very creepy uniform. Finian was obviously scared of Thomas and he didn't want his adorable face to be all messed up because of Thomas. 


Thomas make a overly dramatic thoughtful expression, hand on chin with head turned up to the ceiling. [color=f7976a]"Hmmmm...Nope. I promise to avoid your face. Tell you what..."[/color] Thomas fades from sight, fading back in about five seconds later, five feet from Finian with a pair of towels from the bathroom. [color=f7976a]"I'll make this a demo with you instead. You are about to kick my ass with your cape."[/color]


Finian slowly rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he noticed Thomas disappearing for a second before appearing right back with a few towels on his hands. Finian rose an eyebrow with confusement on his face as he slowly nodded his head pretending as if he knew what was Thomas speaking about. But no, this was the only way for Finian to actually learn his powers and to learn them, it will have to be used in this spar. [color=pink]"No, I think we should actually fight and use what we know of our abilities."[/color] he'd say with a nod while slowly getting into his fighting position. This fight was going to eventually and probably end his fear of fighting. [color=pink]"Just not the face, It's too cute for it to be ruined.."[/color] he spoke with a soft giggle.


[color=f7976a]"If you insist... Widen your feet, they should be equal to your shoulders, an 'H' not a 'V'."[/color]
When Finian took the moment to look down and re-examine his stance, Thomas would strike. He throws one towel at Finian's face, letting it open up and block line of sight for just a second as he stepped forward at a 45 to Finian's leading hand as he takes the second towel into his hands like a rope. The next step is another forward 45 behind finian, using his own leading arm as the guide to get behind him so they are back to back in just two steps with the distracting towel. As he has managed to get behind Finian, the next part is easy. He simply throws the rope of a towel over the back of his shoulder to loop over Finian's neck like a loose noose and snaps forward to shoulder throw Finian backwards over Thomas's and onto the mat.


This was a spar but instead Thomas was helping Finian with his fighting position, but of-course that didn't mean that Thomas was going to go easy on the pretty boy. A small smile formed on Finian's face as he did what Thomas told him to do before starting to run towards Thomas but his opponent was too quick as his eyes were blinded by the distracting attack and then suddenly his body was thrown over his shoulder and falling backwards onto the mat. Finian yelped in pain before throwing both of his hands in-front of him as if covering his face so Thomas wouldn't hit him anymore but as his hands were in-front of him, there was an invisible force field surrounding the pretty boy that was on the ground. Thomas couldn't see it, but if he attempted to hit Finian then his body would probably get bounced up. [color=pink]"Youuu win, you win!"[/color]


Thomas was surprised it went as well as it did, but even more so when Finian didn't immediately get back up. [color=f7976a]"Come on pretty boy, I think we need to put a facemask on that helmet for you. Maybe like the one for Vega from street fighter."[/color] One would have to admit how creepy it still was to have a wraith of black tendrils speaking with suck a kind voice reaching out clawed hands to pick up the other off the ground. [color=f7976a]"Note to R&D, can I get some nekode on the palms for this thing?"[/color] As finian took the offered gauntlet, THomas pulled the underclassman up and brush him off before muttering something into the winged ear of the headpiece to make the boy blush.


The force field slowly dispersed as Finian stood up from the ground while staring at Thomas. Why was he being so kind to Finian when this was a fight? [color=pink]"No no.. I just need to uhh man-up and I am pretty sure that I would be alright. I can do this... I promise."[/color] he'd smile at Thomas while his cheeks slowly turned pink because of what Thomas whispered to him. He was obviously blushing because of the whisper, his body froze and all he did was nod as a respond. But, Finian whispered back at him with a nervously tone of voice;
He looked curiously before staring into Thomas' mask as he tilted his head to the side wondering why Thomas was being so nice to him. Even if this was just a spar, Thomas had to win already right? [color=pink]"Shouldn't you win already, since you did just let me fall... and we shouldn't really take our time to fight, so we'll just say you win then?"[/color] he asked while rubbing his bottom,  it really hurt to have fallen on his butt though. 


[color=f9ad81]"Sounds good to me, besides, a twist on the throw and I'd have snapped your neck instead."[/color]
He left that hang in the air as he used the towel to rat-tail Finians ass like a jock since he was already rubbing a sore bottom and walked off the mat, leaving the junior standing there.
