Showdown (Open)

How long had it been since Negi could truly cut loose? It had been quite a long time and Chamo and Barry were looking out for one another.

Stepping into the sensoriums, Negi looked over at the recreation of the Gravekeeper's Palace floating overhead. He could remember most of it, from regaining his memories of the attack that ruined the magical world and earth in a simultaneous blow, but stepping forward was Fate, the pale haired boy giving him a silent look.

The pair stared at each other for a long moment, and then seconds later, exploded into energy. Fists crashed against each others cheeks in a cross-counter as they skidded backwards.

"Come, Negi. Show me your plan." intoned Fate.

Negi grinned as his form changed, invoking his most powerful ability. His hair fanned out and became a long pink swathe of hair as his body glowed in a brilliant pink light as he shot forward, Fate coming to meet him in a devastating blow. The sound of violence could DEFINITELY be heard from behind the door in the sensorium, as the pair rained blow after blow down in a dizzying volley.

Struck, Negi grinned at her as he pulled away. "Really good," he remarked.

Kaya landed on her feet, jarred, certainly scratched up, but grinning. "You two. Looks like I have a lot to learn from you, Negi."

"Yeah. I noticed you were using chi naturally, so I could probably teach you that movement ability I learned," remarked Negi. "The shundo."

"Well, it did take a long time." And a lot of yelling at her from Sokka for not sticking to her waterbending, but now she was sure Sokka was over it. He DID have his sister back. "And I;d love to know now to do that!"

That reminded her! "Thanks, for being nice to Katara."

"Not a problem. It's silly feeling wrong about it, isn't it?" remarked Negi.

Kaya laughed, shaking her head. "Yes, but only a little. I wasn't sure how I'd react when I saw her honestly. All that time being her, and then finding out she was my trainer and I'd been just acting as her...it was rough to face her, at first. But when I did it wound up feeling a lot better. She's exactly what this ship needs, and the GAang too."

"Yeah. But you're what a lot of others need," remarked Negi honestly.

She flushed. "Thanks. She actually was as sweet and caring as I remember too: I'm really glad we're both on the ship. Rest assured, I will do whatever I can to make sure I help on the ship. And you...well, if I know you, you'll be doing the same."

"Thanks Oneesama," said Negi, smiling broadly. "Want to get a snack now? We've been working out for now."

She grinned, ruffling Negi's hair. It was the funniest thing really: one moment they were battling each other, the next sister and brother all over again, ready to go get something to eat. She playfully bopped him on the head.

"You hit pretty hard, Negi-kun!"

"Heh you do too actually," replied Negi, creating a table and some food. "I'm tired to be honest."

"Me too, that was pretty intense." She sat herself down, looking at the food. "Thank you for the food, Negi. What is it?"

"I was thinking cookies and milk," replied Negi. "I haven't had anything special lately."

"Oh, ok!" Kaya said, looking down at the snack. "Well in that case, allow me to spoil you a little with some real food, ok? I did promise to do it for Matt, but...well...yeah."

She wiped her eyes a moment, giving him a smile. "Sorry. It's still get hard sometimes. You can't really walk around the bus without remembering he was there, you know? That he made it possible."

"I know, I miss him too," admitted Negi. "I know Rein does a lot too since she used to stay up with him talking."

"Poor Rein," she said softly, looking down. "I just...I hate how when someone goes, its like its nothing. Like Matt never mattered, or wasn't here willing to help in anyway he could! It isn't fair, and the worse part is, it happens over and over, and every time I'm never used to it!"

"I know. It's rough for everyone left behind," admitted Negi, sighing as he shook his head.

"It just makes me wonder: will it be that way for us, if we're ever podded? Will we just be forgotten, and everyone will just go abut their lives and all? Will it just be as if they had ever been here to begin with?"

"I don't know. But I'd like to think that we all made a difference here," remarked Negi.

"So do I," Kaya said, clenching her fist. "And its because of that I WON'T stop. We've all gone through too much for me to give up now. I'll train until I drop, I'll help whoever I can, and if I get podded, well, I hope someone continues to try and do the same when I'm gone."

Negi nodded, taking a cookie and nibbling on it. "It's all we can do with such a diverse crew and all."

"I know you would be one of those people who would make sure people would be taken care of. Now that I think of it, people like you and Rein and Matt: you were all great that way."

"Ah, you think so?" inquired Negi, blushing a little.

"Yes," Kaya said, grinning at him, "and I think you know it too. If it ever comes to a situation where you have to keep your head, and you have to risk your very body to protect people, I know you'll be up to the task. I have that faith in you."

"Heh thanks Oneesama," replied Negi, pushing the plate of cookies towards her. "I think we all need to hear that sometimes."
