Tristan marched out into the Training Grounds, having just met a boy who forgot everything about himself. A way to tell every thing about a person is to fight them, so the hunter dragged the young man who's name may or may not have been Shadow out into the field.
"Come on. This place is just about the best area for combat in the entire world. You have every single environment in existance here." He called back. This place did have EVERYTHING. Environmentally any way.
They were on a plain field right now, but in the distance was a forrest, to the right there were mountains, or more so snow capped hills, and to the left there were swamplands. There was mountainous terrain beyond the forrest, near which was a sort of desert. Then there was a beach with a lake.
The place was assembled by magic, so the multiple climates were easily possible, and maintained.
"Here should be good." Tristan said finally, stopping. They were about twenty yards from the forrest, and closer to the mountains than the swamp, though they were still on an open plain with a couple of boulders. This place held many a fight for the hunter. Some of which heralded victories, some draws, and a couple of defeats.
Tristan faced the amnesiatic boy and took a light stance.

Shadow took a deep breath, "All right, Lets go" Shadow took up Riku's fighting stance after drawing The Elsydion. He took a good look and his opponent looking for any kind of thing that might stab him in the chest. Mountains, forest, swamp. Those always make great Ambush spots however something tells me he likes to jump out of no where.
Shadow walked forward. Perhaps about ten yards stood between them then once in reach he made a quick upward slash toward the man. He might be able to dodge this but maybe not of course, I don't know what I'm up against.
Shadow figured that two things could happen once the man would jump back or block it or counter it with some other weapons.

Tristan watched his new opponent with earnest. Being that it was he who suggested this method of discovering things about the boy, he would have to pay close attention to how he moved, and what he did. It was odd when Shadow simply walked forward, not even in much of an agressive manner, but as though he was idly swinging his blade around for no reason.
Tristan's left foot shot up as the blade began to acend. His boot would meet with the boys right wrist in a perfect manner that would force blade from his hand. "What are you doing? You'll have to do much better than that or I'll just keep disarming you." Tristan would say with a bit of iritation, "You have to use your instinct. Unless you were an idiot who just carried around a big sword 'cuz it looked cool, you can fight better than that." Yes, the hunter was scolding the boy.
All he could glean from that move was that he was either really lazy, or really pathetic. Any one could anticipate that move, not just from the fact that it was slow, but from the fact that it was much too simple. Even for an opener.

Ok yeah bad opening move lets try again I won't give up
"Your right that was bad but." Shadow didden't know what to say "I'll try again" Shadow picked up his sword this time charged. once within range he swung his sword to a dianognal useing both hands. If it connected he'd do a snap kick with his right leg, then do a backflip to retreat from any kind of attack.
"I'll get you somehow!" Shadow yelled.
OoC:am I getting any better? (I'm not going to stop trying until you think it's great then I'll keep going from there I just tried useing spell check and the bottom box was blank

Tristan watched with the same earnest, hoping that this strike would be better. And it was, but sadly was easily anticipated. The hunter lifted his right gauntlet and slid to the left. This would put him to the outside of the swing, with a move known in Ninjutsu as 'Tai sabaki'.
Tai sabaki is actually a series of dodging movements that help you fight against a blade when you are unarmed, or in any situation to get out of the way of an attack with little effort. Right hand up, Tristan's gauntlet grazed the blade and sent it off course, to Shadow's left.
Amnesia boy's snap kick to was anticipated, though less so. But because of the way Tristan had repositioned himself, all he had to do was slide his right foot back, and the move completally missed him. Tristan's response to this attack was more or less a smack on the back of the head by Tristan's gauntleted left hand. That little sparring sort of move was just to let Shadow know that he'd screwed up, and could have gotten nailed, full blast.
"Better. But like I said, Instinct. Feel your moves or I'll never learn any thing." Tristan said, and continued to scold, not bothering to take a stance if this was all the opposition he was going to get.

Shadow felt a wack on the back of his head. Takeing a deep breath he went with his gut to not use his sword so he sheathed it. This time he wanted to try at least strike a blow. Shadow could feel a nice brezze he shut his it was welecoming in a way.
This was when Shadow would have gone to sleep but not yet, he had to show that he was someone who could give anyone the run for there money. So instead of swing his sword he threw a ton of punchs useing both hands but not alternating. Those would end after a back spin kick. No more holding back treat him as if he's going to kill me!

[Well now. He's starting to get serious...Thats good.] Tristan thought, Mess with him a little more. If you get him pissed off he might start using natural moves instead of conscious ones...You know what I mean. Igneus offered from a bit of a distance.
Since they walked out into the Training grounds, Igneus had been flying around, watching them putz about. [Right.] It was a good idea. Moves that had become natural to a fighter could be used while out of control, in a berserker state. Tristan knew that because he'd put many a foe into a rage, and they still pulled off complicated moves.
The punches came, and Tristan saw them. He dodged left and right, making small steps backward.
A left punch came in and Tristan leaned away, and to the right, outside the fist. The Crusnik shot his own left fist up, and in what would be called a 'cresent block' he pounded the back of Shadows wrist with a sort of back fist move. The blocks of Ninjutsu were meant to damage, not just stop a move, so the wrist bones would take damage.
Normally the blocks were executed on the inside of a blow, having the knuckles of the defender strike the tendons that controlled the fingers in a way that would make the attacker not want to use that arm again.
As the spinning back kick came in, Tristan did not move. It hit his stomach, just about where his diaphragm was, though it did little damage. Not only was Tristan a tough basterd, he had his kevlar vest which took part of the impact.
Both of the hunters hands shot up, then. The right hand grabbed the foot itsself, the left grabbed the ankle. Tristan then wrenched his body around, sliding his right foot back, and pulled the boys leg along. He then pulled it through the air, sending the boy, who wasn't all that heavy, flying in the way he was facing originally when he began to punch Tristan.
It was a simple enough move, but effective. It would disorientate the opponent, and give you an advantage while they were in the air.

Shadow did a mid-air flip to put himself into a position where he could land on his feet. Ack! My wrist dammit! Well lets see I'm right handed and this is my left, but I'm almost one handed now and this guys making me look like a pushover, even if I lose I've got to show him that I'm at least above average I've ugh! Keep calm last thing I need is to be reckless.
Wait what the hell is this feeling it's like something that just wants to burst outta me. Maybe I'm just imagining things although my hand hurts I can still use it Shadow dashed toward his well guess he could call him his teacher but none the less. Shadow grabbed his enemies arm twisted it to hopefully trick him, then within a quick second he kneed his opponent in the back.
Deciding to now pretend that this was an Evil Demon or something to get him motivated.
OoC:ok correct me if I'm wrong but when it came to the arm then the back saying I did it doesn't mean they connected hence forth not godding right? if so I'll edit it's strange switching boreds.

Tristan resisted the twist of the arm with relative ease. He performed another Tai sabaki move, stepping in with the right foot, and swinging the left around, which would release his arm, and put him on Shadows left (since you didn't specify which arm, i assumed). That same right hand would then shoot up to the boy's shoulder, gripping it tight with the gauntleted hand.
The hunter's left hand would find a grip of the boys wrist, that same left side. Tristan's fingers would dig into the shoulder as the older man wrenched his new friend backward, off balancing him. Tristan's right foot would then shoot forward from behind Shadow's left foot.
This would effectively, and rather easily trip the boy, and the twin grips would guide him to the ground...Hard. This move was known as Kosoto Geri, Outside sweep. It was an extremely basic technique of Ninjutsu. Something one learns before you even get your whitebelt. Should it succeed (see, close end RPing.), Tristan would release the wrist and shoulder, raising his left arm and quickly smashing it into the ribs of his opponent.
The armored fist would cause a good bit of damage, as well as knock the wind from the boy. He would then jump back a good eight feet, and take a light stance. Normally that type of move would have a jump back, than a koho kaiten, backward roll.
The whole move could be called Kosoto Geri Taihen. Though there was no such move, the Taihen comes from a Yellow belt technique series known as 'Daken Gata Taihen Jutsu.' That series involved a strike, then a jump back, and roll. If Tristan hadn't sweeped his opponent first, and merely punched him, it would be known as 'Tsuki Taihen' But that was a lesson getting into Tristan's martial arts.
"Come on now. I'm getting bored." He said tauntingly, following his partner's advice.

Using his left hand and both feet Shadow slid on the ground "Well it's not easy to even have a single attack connect,"
Shadow said trying to remain calm. right as Shadow had gotten close enough to Punch his teacher in the face something the energy began to make it's way up and begin to take form [glow=red,2,300]AUGH DaMMiT I caN'T cOnTrOlL thIs EneRgY WhAT Is THIs!?[/glow] Shadow was only for a brief second surrounded by a crimson Aura [glow=red,2,300]I'll Destroy You!![/glow] "Augh! What the hell is this? Did you cast some sort of Spell I can't control this stuff.
This wasn't a bluff Shadow clutched his chest in pain Shadow wasn't attempting to get an upper hand or any kind of trick for that matter. He didn't care if his teacher began to beat him this Energy was something that made him want to kill made him want to beat his opponent to death. "God make it stop! What the hell make it" [glow=red,2,300]"StoP FiGHting Me SHaDOW He'lL WIN iF You KEEP TRying To FIgHt HiM LIke you HaVE bEEn."[/glow]
"I'm not trying to bluff" Shadow began to drop to the ground "I can't control" Shadow shut his eyes but when they opened again they were a dark crimson these weren't contacts, he then got up with ease or it got up with ease.
[glow=red,2,300]Finely that puny Part of him is gone."[/glow]
The cross on his Armor turned into a pentagram. [glow=red,2,300]NOW THEN DIE!!![/glow] (I'm naming this energy Mephisto) Mephisto practically flew and the hunter with rapid slashes that would cut anything in half [glow=red,2,300]Quit it SHaDOW I'm NoT GOiNg any WHere![/glow] "stop this
thing.
OoC:when Emotions of negativity (anger frustration depression,Etc get to Shadow Chaos Blast Lashes out a force of Evil that Shadow is having an extremely hard time controlling (with out his memory since he once knew how to) all caps errors in the glowing red are on purpose since Shadows fighting it.

Tristan's jump back had avoided that first punch. Following the taunt, the boy began to have, what could be described from the outside, a spaz attack. An eyebrow raised as the hunter wondered that the fuck Shadow was doing. "Hmm...Things are getting interesting...Pschitsophrenic huh?" Tristan called the new form of the boy a mere second personality.
"Now we're getting somewhere..." He said to himself, begining to get into who Shadow was. As the new form of the red clad boy shot forward, Tristan readied himself. It drew the blade, and Tristan activated his alchemy, making his standard fourteen inch daggers appear from the back plate of the gauntlets.
Tristan put up his left gauntlet against the first strike, sliding the blade to the side like he'd done before. His right leg then shot up and caught Shadow's left knee. That would lock up his movements for a few moments, and leave him fairly open for a quick stab with the right, aimed at the shoulder.

(inside Shadow's mind)
What the Hell are you doing!?
[glow=red,2,300]Killing your opponet[/glow]
He's not going to kill me he's teaching me I think
[glow=red,2,300]so you don't know[/glow]
Just shut up and go away
[glow=red,2,300]I would but ACK! KRATOS WHAT THE FUCKIN HELL?[/glow]
Shadow's body isn't a toy Mephisto Positive Emotions are building from the Dragon and the hunter you won't last much longer.
(outside Shadow mind)
[glow=red,2,300]Die Die Die[/glow] Mephisto laughed insainely as he caught the gauntlet then quickly grabbed the other arm attempting to headbutt the hunter. [glow=red,2,300]Blood GIVE ME BLOOD I WANT TO SEE YOUR BODY IN PAIN![/glow] Mephisto began to laugh then stopped. The crimson aura faded then was replaced by a blue aura. "Well that feels better Shadow said uh, I'll explane that thing that just happened later ok? but for now,
Chaos Control Shadow said. His voice calm and much less hostale like a day where only the birds are chirping and the brezze is soft.
Everything else silent Shadow backed up held his sword with both hands and said "It's not power I seek I don't care weather I win or lose I seek acknoldgement to prove that I am no push over and more off I seek my memory" Still calm Shadow let all this Energy flow then it happened Chaos Control fast movements stabs, slashs, rapid punchs, kicks, thrusts from every direction if a lot of these connected the hunter would most likely be out cold
it went on for a total of Five seconds. But instead of moveing it felt like teleporting (even though it's just really fast steps kinda like Nigies (Naruto) eight trigram sixty four palm but with different moves and a little longer) "Did..........I............Do........................................Well did I do.........a ...............good....jo..b" Shadow said as he dropped to his knees then fell to the ground out cold but with a look that said I hope I did well.
OoC:spell checks not working again plus when it comes to Chaos control Shadow always passes out otherwise I think I'D be Playing Cheap

Tristan's blow had been caught, and the blade dropped in order to grab Tristan's other hand. The headbutt was foresaw, and the hunter returned it. A mere human would have to do better against a Crusnik when it came to that sort of thing. The boy then released Tristan, reeled back, grabbed the blade, and changed personalities again.
"This is getting iritating..." He said quietly to himself. Things were just plain getting wierd. The hunter hadn't signed up for this pschitsophrenia thing, though he was still untouched aside from a scuff of bruise that would form on his forehead, then be gone in a few hours.
['The fuck is Chaos Control?] Tristan thought to himself before Shadow charged at an insane speed. The mans chakra shot forth, activating his double time spell. The movements were matched, if difficultly. A dodge here, a block there, a lightning Tai sabaki the next time, then a grab of the blade, a wrench of the hand, not to mention an ass load and a half of clangs and swishes.
A couple of seconds later, Shadow slowed, and collasped to his knees. Being that both of them were more or less completally untouched by that little flurry, as Tristan was concentrating on defense, Igneus jokingly thought out, Finish him. Then, when the boy fully collasped, out cold: Flawless Victory. and projected an image of Tristan standing over Shadow, with one foot resting on his head, the hunter in a victory position with the left hand chambered and the right hand up with the elbow bent, showing off the gauntlet blade.
Laughing slightly, "I guess I win....This is going to be interesting when he wakes up..." Tristan said, activating his alchemy, withdrawing the blades, and dispelling his chakra.
He then hefted the boy over his shoulder with one hand, and carried the longsword in the other. "To the recovery wing with you."
