Ashes [EliteCommander and Vesuvius00]

As Onyx had hoped, Tarentek fell, but as she had not hoped, his grip did not falter and he puled her down with him. She landed on her side, and surprised by the fall she had accidentally let go of his arm that wasn't still occupied with keeping hold of hers. She used her free arm to start trying to get into a crouching position, she had to get off the ground, she couldn't let him pin her.

She thought, only for a second, about flying. If she could get into a crouching position she could use her wings to help her get back to her feet, and possibly drag her arm out of his grip. She was crouching now, still deciding on if she should try her trick, as she had told Tarentek that she would try not to fly. She made up her mind to do it, but by that point she may have hesitated too long.

Onyx wasn't able to get her arm from his grip. She had felt him loosening but he used his other arm to keep his grip and then started trying to trip her. Onyx decided to change tactics as she had to focus more on not tripping. She stepped as close to him as she could, racking her claws up his wrist as she did and turning so that her back was to him and both his arms were in front of her. she grabbed both his arms with both of her own, digging her claws into his wrists but not drawing blood, and slammed her back into him, hoping to knock him over and finally get out of his grip.

Onyx could tell her plan was working, he wasn't able to hit her very hard whenever he managed to hit her, and she was beginning to think she should go a little easier on him when she dashed in again, and he managed to hit her with his tail. She felt herself lose her footing and begin to fall, and she tried to change her momentum in a way that would make it so she would roll away and recover instead. Before she was able to though, Tarentek managed to grab one of her arms.

Now Onyx was kneeling on the ground, mid-roll, but stopped by Tarentek's hold on her arm. She moved quickly, before he could get her other arm, standing and turning at the same time in an attempt to twist his arm and get out of the grip, while with her other arm she started jabbing the pressure pints in his shoulder, or trying to anyway.

He's waiting for me to strike first, smart. Onyx thought to herself as she thought how she should start. He was definitely less agile than her, so she had an advantage there. If she could tire him out with quick jabs she'd have less of a chance of getting caught in a grapple with him. She knew her strength and wasn't too worried if it came to a grapple, even if he is stronger than her she'd be able to slip out, he'd probably be surprised if she used her claws against him, so she wouldn't have to hurt him to get away either.

With her plan in mind she moved. She rushed behind him and got a few jabs at his ribs and sides before she backed away again and began circling, repeating her rushing attacks every so often, aiming for pressure points.

"Not really. There are rules about duels, but not for spars. For example, if this were a duel, we would have to be supervised by a sentry because I am not of age yet, and there would be formalities such as greeting bows and explanations of why the two people are having a duel in the first place. Duels are not training though, they are meant to be a way for two people to solve a problem between themselves, while spars are simple training." Onyx realized she may be over explaining so she kept the rest short.

"The only 'rule' for sparring is that you are not allowed to seriously harm the others involved on purpose. Most spars start informally in a pre-set situation, as if one person is already in a corner, so to say." Onyx thought for a moment to try and remember if there was anything else important to say. "Oh! I almost forgot, if you are stuck in a situation where you are unable to speak, we recognize three taps anywhere on the other's body as surrender and you'll be released immediately."

"No, I've never noticed. When I noticed you weren't wearing anything I automatically looked away, except for the time you showed me your scars, but then I was too distracted by them to notice anything like that." Onyx was still standing with her arms crossed, but with what Tarentek said she was starting to be able to calm down. "I suppose, if you'd rather fight without it on, you could put it on one of the dummies over there." She motioned to a group of wooden training dummies not too far from the sparring grounds.

"What?! Wh-!" Onyx was surprised at how casually Tarentek was acting, she narrowed her eyes at him and lowered her voice. "That is not a funny joke. Why would you say something like that?! Do you have any idea how uncomfortable it makes me already that you don't wear anything when you sleep?" Onyx took a few steps away from him and crossed her arms, waiting for his explanation.

"No I've never fought with any of your race before, not any that I can remember at least. I have fought reptiles before, but none very similar to you." Onyx pointed to a large sandy area a little ways away from the shooting area. "That's where we hold sparring matches and duels. I was thinking earlier that if we spar I would try not to fly, if you thought it would be more fair that way. Our fighting style uses flight and speed to overtake an enemy quickly, but there's a sub-style for when we can't fly that I need to practice more."

Lexi was glad she already had a group of people willing to be around each other despite the strange things that Monokuma had said. She was a little surprised when Drake suddenly ran out the door like a madman, but she supposed he just didn't want to explore with anybody. Three people had decided to join her already, two girls and a boy. Keeping her cheerful demeanor, Lexi smiled at the group. "Nice to meet you all! I'm Lexi. Does anyone have an idea where we should go first?"
