[Kuro enters from Science Facility]

Kurotsume ran into the course, which looked much different than he expected. It was basically a huge colosseum with a glass roof elevated maybe 500 some odd feet above the ground by the walls. It didn't look dangerous. But then he took a closer look at the surrounding walls, and the floor. Sealed hatches, where something would come out, all over the walls and ground, hidden in the tiles. He got his scythe ready. "Okay, bring 'em on!" "Error..." "Say what?" "The rest of your party is not present. Training connot commence until they arrive." "Son of a b***h! You people are killing me!" "Beep... beep..."

Kuro smirked mischiviously as his scythe appeared again. "Remember who you're talking to Mata" he said as more robots came from the floor hatches. One leapt at Kuro, and he swung the blade in its direction. He appeared to miss and the robot spun back around after landing and threw a punch at him. Just before it hit, the robot's arm split in half, avoiding Kuro's face, and then its entire body fell in two. Now for the others. He threw the scythe like a shuriken, and it hacked through the six other robots running in to attack. The weapon then came back around like a boomerang, and was caught by its master. Kuro rested the scythe on his shoulders. "Has it been two minutes yet?"

"So basically" Kuro said before a robot threw a scythe at him. He backed away an inch or two to where he could grab the hilt and send it back. It flew at the robot twice as fast and dismembered it, removing its left arm, and separating its upper and lower torso. "Anyway, so they copy whatever we do, is that it? Maybe these guys will be more fun than I expected."

Another leapt up onto the wall and sprang off into the air. It was coming down at Kuro, and swung its scythe down, only to be deflected and parried by Kurotsume's own. Kuro spun and sliced that robot in half, getting a little pissed now. "What do they want me to use, a freaking Kuragiri?! Enough with the scythes already! That's MY thing!"

Kuro bent backwards to avoid laser fire. As he saw a robot coming from behind, he flipped up onto his hands and brought his foot down through it. He spun and took another's legs out from under it, all the while deflecting lasers, some at robots destroying them. They were getting smarter, and a lot more annoying, like Kaoru level annoying. If they were copying their data and using it against them, that meant Taijutsu was the best way to go.

Great... if Envy was around, the brainiac would probably have found away around this already. And Kaoru? She'd keep smashing until one matched her strength and finally took her out. Kuro threw a punch into a robot's chest and his fist came through the other side. He dropped to avoid a scythe attack from another, and spun. When its legs were kicked out, Kuro followed up by shooting his foot upwards. The machine went lifeless as his foot held it up, then threw it on top of another robot, immobilizing both. He crushed the scythe and it disappeared; Taijutsu would be easier without it. The only weapons he had on him -or ever has on him- were the roses, but he wasn't about to let them copy those.

A turret on the wall fired a shot at his head. He jumped slightly, and the laser hit the headband around his neck, deflecting off and blowing another robot to pieces. Then one got a dig in, punching Kuro halfway across the training area. He got up quickly and brushed off where he had been hit. It was on now. He reached across with his right hand and gripped the shoulder of his jacket. He spun and took it off, throwing it over the head of a robot. He jumped up and kicked the blinded machine and it went limp. He flipped through the air and landed back to back with Mata. "I see what you mean."

Kyouran/Mata saw that the yamikage appeared in front of him and talked. Kyouran instantly thought of the dream crystal. He sighed. He wasn't apart of Kage anymore so why was he still ordering him around. He took off three robots heads. It was fun while it lasted. "Computer. Shut down simulation." There was a beep and the Robots disappeared in a flash of light. "Shall we head back? Apparently, your kage has a mission for you. What are you going to do, Kazuki?"

Kazuki jumped down. "Well, we have to go back. Lets go find Taroro or Rikikyu." Kyouran nodded and they both left to go look for either Taroro or Rikikyu.
