"Alright alright alright... for the last time I insist: You... me... spar." demanded Nyota as she dragged James by the hand. Her friend James was a bit reluctant (worried that he was going to hurt her or something, yeah right). Nyota's persistence eventually paid off as he caved in and the two of them where now in using one of the combat rings the school had for practicing with power their power during classes. This one was currently not in use so Nyota pulled James into the combat ring for a little spar.

Nyota was always one for a good tussle or two but this time it was different. Jame recently came to her with bruises on his body one day and after demanding what had happened her revealed that was recently bullied by some punks. Were it anyone but James she probably would have laughed at them and said that he probably had it coming. But.. this was her friend James and was going to be damned if she was going to be friends with weakling whom allows themselves to physically abused as such. Soo... why not have a little spar? Something that will get him to fight back as she suspects that he is much stronger than he lets on. Maybe give him a win to make him feel better about himself... ha... fat chance. She was only going to let him kick her ass if he could prove himself the stronger of the two.

"Now listen dork... just cause I'm both a girl and a cripple doesn't mean you have to go easy on me. If anything... I might be the one who might have to handicap myself." gloated Nyota as she rests a hand on her hip and gives James a look over.

After a quick glance of James, she took a moment to admire herself in her snug fitting gym clothes. It was only now that she could see the effects of easy living was doing as she looked a little chubbier than she remember though it mostly went into tummy, butt and thighs. Then she looked to James once again... he stood nearly half a foot taller than and was probably in a bit better shape than herself but she was confident that she could still knock him to the floor.

"Right so... any little rules you can think of? The only ones I can think of is don't break anyone's bones."

James was humble, incredibly so, he was strong, agile and being trained in combat by a war god. So he had been reluctant to spar with Nyota for a few reasons, one: he didn't like showing off and two: he could legit hurt her if he wasn't careful.

Either way, he let her drag him into the sparring ring, he silently listened to her banter, and despite his humble nature he couldn't help but want to show her. The Shadow sat back in his head, silently watching, as if waiting to see what James did.

Now James always wore loose clothing and long sleeve shirts, it both hid the scar on his left forearm and his his muscular form. So, he pulled the long button up shirt off and tossed it aside, now Nyota would see two things, one being some whip like scars poking out of the collar of the shirt, one of many given to him by Garret, the other of course being James' hidden muscles, which were surprisingly impressive. All in all, he was quite the figure.

Nyota couldn't help but GAWK at how stacked her best secretly was as he ripped off his shirt like a male cover model. She expected maybe half a bicep but... HOLY JESUS ARE THOSE ABS? Nyota glanced down to her own... fab that stuck out a bit from her tummy... was she getting fat? Nyota looked back up and grimaced... this wasn't how she always imagined James to be. It was only know that she could clearly see the scars... scars that James once tried to hide away he now brandished boldly. Nyota was bit intimated but... she could let that show. After her initial shock she tried to hide with a smirk to feign confidence.

"Hee... wow... okey maybe I will retracted that handicap seeing how... beefy you seem to have gotten. Still not going to make this easy on you." chuckled Nyota, doing her best to not sound all that worried. Nyota distracts herself with looking around the small arena, then back to James.

"Right so... how should we do this... be allowed to use our powers on each other or stick to hand to hand?" suggested Nyota, then an idea creeped up on her mind "Or... we could group a couple of poles and battle each to the death just like when Kirk fought Spock in a Kal-If-Fee... you know episode I am talking right?" asked Nyota as she gave a little laugh... though she could now hear that catchy fight music inside of her skull now.

The corner of his mouth pulled up in a very brief almost unnoticeable smirk. It felt good to get such a reaction even if Nyota was trying to hide it.

"Beefy?" he asked with a chuckle, "nah, I ain't that big," he said humble as ever.

He smiled a bit and tilted his head as she starting making suggestions on the kind of combat they'd go for, "any of them works for me," he said calmly his eyes suddenly taking a sharp confident look very few had ever seen. This was a side of James she had never seen. "Ohoho is that a spine I see?" the Shadow asked with a chuckle and then went silent again.

"You brought me here....you pick," he said that surprising confidence there. Perhaps somewhere in the back of his mind he was accepting that not only was he good fighting, he was a damn natural at it. Physically fit and trained by a war god. No cockiness, but maybe new confidence, perhaps it was all a reprieve from his damaged antisocial self, but there it was.

"Hee... suppose that is fair... well alright. Well I have no idea how to fight with a pool so..." Nyota gives one more look over, makes up her mind, then responds with "... why not let loose and use our powers. I remember that time you wanted me to shot you with a bolt of plasma cause you where feeling ballsy but I told you later? Well I guess later has come~"

"Dunno what the school's policy is about us sparring with our powers like this but... screw them. These combats arenas were build for this thing I assume so not like we are going to cause too much damage." stated Nyota as she points to James.

"So any last minute objections my friend? Or concerns? Cause if not were are going to start." she announced, taking a few steps back to edge of the ring to give the two of them some distance.

He knew the Shadow was vulnerable to light magic, but Nyota would have to hit him for it to affect him. "Powers sound good," he said, that calm confidence still present "YES! TIME TO SHOW THE SUN GIRL WHO'S IN CHARGE," James couldn't help but chuckle at the Shadow.

"No concerns," he said fully focused, a strategy already forming in his head, where to attack, when to attack and how hard to attack.

Closing his eyes, he took a breath, letting the calming air fill his lungs, he breathed out. He opened his eyes again, and one could see dark tendrinls on the whites of said eyes. "Your move, my friend."

Nyota couldn't help but look a little smug, she was feeling a little cocky but with the power of the sun behind she felt unbeatable. Of course she wouldn't hurt James too much... just enough to put him in place is all.

"You asked for it dork... setting phasers to stun." said Nyota, she couldn't help but croak another Star Trek reference.

The finger that she was earlier pointing at James with retracts as she holds out a palm. Nyota could feel the energy coursing just in front of her hand as gases in front of her were forced to fused into the beginnings of tiny start. But Nyota cut's its life short as she forced it to collapse early. With the small explosion, half the energy is directed back into her palm to which was readily absorbed by her body. The other half is ejected forward, a ball of hot plasma races to Jame's center of mass at speeds of almost 1000 feet per second. Nyota didn't know how much it would hurt James once it made contact but as painful that would be it wouldn't kill him... plus he had his shadow so this spar was as much as test for Jame's parasite as it was getting James to not be such a weakling.

He watched closely as she readied her attack. He had darkness, she had light, difference being that she could only form pieces of light, he could actually become darkness.

The darkness seemed to explode, fully encompassing James' body. He rarely showed anyone his shadow form, normally only used it while training.

She fired, and he leaped, fifteen feet into the air, as he did, three shadow tentacles sprouted from his chest and fired toward her. Wouldn't hurt her, but it would knock her on her ass.

James evaded her attack with ease as he shifted into his shadow form. As lepted 15 feet in the air, the tendrils of shadow raced twords her. Nyota knew exactly what was about to happen to her as the trendirls drew closer and close.

"Awww shit..."

Well those fine last words, Nyota was thrown back to the far end of the ring flat on her ass. Nyota hissed as her but cushioned her fall, looking back up to James with a nasty looking glare.

"Hrrmpp... shit dude... who exactly did you get in fight with anyway?!" growled Nyota as she holds out her palm to James even as she continues to sit "With that that kind of power behind you you should have kicked their asses."

As she awaits James response, Nyota gives birth to a new miniature star as super-heated gases collapse into an beginnings of a sun.

As he came down he landed on the tentacles, used them to hold himself up like a spider. The Shadow was laughing his ass off in the back of his head, enjoying James knocking Nyota down.

"Does it matter?" he replied, his voice distorted and creepy sounding. In truth he could have killed the bullies if he wanted to, but he saw no point in it. He thought that if they were bothering him, then they'd leave other students alone. The Shadow snorted, "so much power, waisted on you boy."

James could do a number of things when the next star was fired. He could leap again, but no, he had another idea.
