Allenby rocked back and forth on her heels, frowning at the Great Wall for a couple of reasons. One, apparently the Daligig or whoever had yanked out a big chunk of the Great Wall (or one of them, given how many Earths there were) and slapped it into the City like a cheap bookcase. She wasn't big on cultural heritage preservation, but sheesh.

The second reason was that she was thinking. Next to her feet was a bag of toys: jacks, a gymnast's ribbon, a kite, spinning tops, and a few superballs. Believe or not, she was going to use these to develop a new specialty technique--just as soon as she figured out where to begin.

"Man, Nobel Gundam... I knew I shoulda asked Chibodee and George what they did to figure out theirs." She winced when she caught herself talking to her Gundam yet again, and she wasn't even in the Hangar this time... oh well. Allenby picked up the ribbon and began running, executing a technique she already knew well from piloting.

[ooc: So anyone in the Water Cooler post who wanted to do sparring/training stuff, this would be a good place to do it! :3 Or anyone else who'd like to pop in, of course.]

The Echo Echoes on her legs were knocked aside like ten pins as the third one who was hit by her hands was knocked aside. Down three, the rest of them went for another team attack, moving quickly. "Really. Good. Shot. There!" they chorused.

"You ain't too bad either!" Allenby replied as she jumped back to her feet. It did hurt, but Gundam pilots were nothing if not hardy.

She leaped forward to meet their attack, fists moving in a blur.

A couple of them bounced, two of the Echo Echoes vanishing from the visible spectrum as they rejoined with the main body, parring it all down to 3 or 4 left.

With a grin, they adjusted their approach, leaping from high.

Allenby looked up sharply as the remaining Echo Echoes shifted tactics. Her first instinct was to leap and meet them in mid-air, but no--not this time.

Instead, she made another attempt with the energy attack. There was enough now. Allenby concentrated as hard as she could on sending the green ball of light rocketing from one of the little guys to the next.

That attack struck home, rebounding off the Echo Echoes hard enough that they winked out of existence, the last one bouncing and rolling into his back. In a flash of green light, he reverted to Ben who seemed for the moment, knocked out. But then he groaned and sat up.

"Nice one!"

"Whoa!" Even if it was just for a moment, Allenby was rather alarmed to see him knocked out like that. She hadn't wanted to hurt him!

She started to rush over and then slowed, smiling sheepishly as he sat up. She went down on one knee to look him over. "Thanks--you all right? I don't wanna dent you up too much."

"Oh I'm fine," laughed Ben, rubbing his head. "This just means I'm out of practice."

"Want to try again with a different opponent?"

Allenby laughed. "Well I guess I'd just better help ya get back in shape, huh? It's only fair since you're helping me out."

She straightened back up. "If you got another one in you, sure! I gotta admit, all those different forms of yours seem pretty cool."

"Great! Since you've done the multiple thing, I'll go--" He struck his watch and grew up into a huge form. "Four Arms! Hey, what the heck? I was going for Humungosaur!"

Scratching his head with one hand, he wondered, "Is it broken? Stupid thing..."

"...Broken?" Allenby stared up at the giant red... guy that Ben had turned into. "That ain't good. Can you go back to you?"

"I don't think it's broken," replied Ben, reverting to his normal self and hitting the plunger again, this time getting Humungosaur. "Must have been a slip of the wrist. They're side by side in the playlist."
