He had never formally met him before but they had bumped into each other previously at various tournaments, albeit not in the ring. The guy had a reputation for being a bit reckless and arrogant but ultimately he was a handy fighter. With what was coming personalities would need to take a back seat. Not wanting to leave and awkward silence Sam spoke. [color=6ecff6]"Unfortunately there is no good news."[/color] Sam looked around the surrounding area to look for others, but the pair were clearly alone. Deep down Sam hoped that would change soon. [color=6ecff6]"The power that I felt, I can only assume you felt it too...it's far beyond anything that Master Kojiro has felt in his long life. I have never seen him scared but his voice shakes at even the thought of what this power might be."[/color] Sam approached the seventeen year old and reached out one of his hands. [color=6ecff6]"I am Samanosuke Tanaka although most people simply call me Sam. I know you are Taeto Skyloom... I have seen you at some of the tournaments I have attended."[/color] Sam looked up at the sky once again to see if he could spot anyone approaching. [color=6ecff6]"If more people like us gather then maybe...just maybe we can defeat this threat. We will need to train as if we are fighting for our lives, that is the only way we will gain strength enough to stand a chance. Fortunately Master Kojiro has a small supply of senzu beans that will allow us to go full pelt without risk of permanent damage."[/color] The thought of time and lack of it was an ever present thought in Sam's mind and something that concerned him greatly. Every second not spent training was a risk that he didn't want to take. [color=6ecff6]"We will give the others ten minutes to arrive otherwise we will start without them."[/color]
