Class today was back in the Danger Room again, which today was set up to look like a rather large, empty warehouse. Squall was sitting in a comfy-looking office chair by the wall near the door, with his feet propped up on a desk, reading a trashy romance novel and scowling.

The only other notable thing nearby was the table full of all different kinds of swords, from two weeks ago.

"Hey," Squall grunted from behind the book, his voice echoing in the empty room. "Today you're learning about self-defense." He shrugged, and lifted his eyes from the pages to look at them, briefly. "Grab a sword," he instructed. "And don't die, because that would suck."

And with that, he went back to his book.

A few minutes later, he set the book down for a brief moment and closed his eyes.

A giant ice crystal shot out of the ground, and within its depths appeared a beautiful, nearly naked woman with pale blue skin and far too much hair. The crystal shattered, and she rose a few feet in the air and shot a swirling cloud of ice shards -- so fine they looked like dust made from diamonds -- at the students, covering anyone slow enough to not get out of the way with what quickly became a thick layer of ice.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Shiva.

Or whatever. You know the drill.

Jenny Sparks

Ronan Nolan

Feel free to try to get Squall's attention.

Oooh, pointy!

Jenny picked up her old friend the scimitar and made a few experimental swipes through the air. She hoped they didn't have to use only the sword to defend themselves.

Ronan grabbed the claymore again; at least, he figured, if they were going to be using swords, he should use something with which he had some familiarity.

Shiva may not be as strong as some of the other Guardian Forces, but she's wicked fast and all ninja-y. Also? Prepare for some nasty frostbite.

When Shiva appeared Jenny ducked and rolled away from the shards, trying not to cut herself in the process. "Well, bugger me gently," she muttered as she scrambled to her feet.

Shiva smirked, and threw some large icicles her direction.

Jenny ducked and tried to parry with her sword while sending some lightning flying back at Shiva as a test run, since she wasn't quite sure electrocuting her outright would work.

Shiva grunted in pain when the lightning hit her, and then shook her head to clear it. She did a series of handsprings in a zig-zag line toward Jenny, trying to present a harder target to hit, followed up by an ice-covered punch.

Jenny turned with the punch to lessen the impact, but it still hurt like bloody hell, and she held one hand over her jaw as she said, "Right then," and sent a couple of thousand bolts right towards ice princess.

Shiva screeched and tumbled backward, twitching violently from the lightning coursing through her body. She rolled a few feet and then, slowly and painfully, tucked her knees underneath her and pounded on the ground. A dome of ice rose up to encase her, the lightning crackling over its surface.

It's a good thing Ronan had taken to carrying a few mostly-finished defensive spells around with in his head; he released one of them, a mid-strength forcefield, even as he was dodging to the side, hoping that the shield would protect him from at least the worst of the ice cloud.

...And it did, even after Shiva snapped her fingers and the layer of ice coating the forcefield exploded. Of course, that would be about the time that she came at him with a flying spin kick in the direction of his head.

Ronan's concentration was broken slightly by the exploding ice, and so the forcefield was wavering a bit when the kick came towards him; while it would be weakened slightly in force, the kick did still connect, sending Ronan to the ground. He did still manage to keep his grip on his claymore, however, and as he got up he spoke three words in the Speech that sent fire dancing down its length as he slashed at Shiva.

She screamed as she dodged the flames. Shiva backed off to a safe distance and fired off another freezing cloud to try to coat the sword (and Ronan) in ice.

Thrusting the sword into the ground, accompanied by a few shouted words, sent a wall of flame up in front of the incoming cloud; Ronan hoped it would be enough to block the attack while he prepared his next move.

He held up his right hand, outstretched, speaking in the Speech all the while, and a spear-shaped flame formed above it. Throwing his hand forward, the spear flew towards Shiva.

Shiva dodged the spear of flame and circled warily, trying to get around the wall of flame.

Ronan grabbed the sword from the ground and spun it overhead; the wall of fire moved towards Shiva, encircling her.

Shiva vaulted over the flames, turning a few somersaults in the air before landing in front of Ronan. She bowed to him formally, signalling that she considered the match over, and at the same time sending a wall of ice up behind her to protect herself from the fire. When she straightened up, she smiled and winked at him.

After she pings in.

Jenny was here. Smoking, as she does.

Talk to Squall after "class", if you must.

Because the characters, we are out of them.
