[ Taggon] Vampyricon noticed the sparring going on when he came in and sat down to one side. He noticed Tireburn on one side, but ignored him, instead studying the two sparring Autobots. Vehicon. That would be Taggon then. From his visor Vamp could see he only had one eye. Slight problem with judging distance. Fights very well, at least without weapons. Armed combat needs further investigation, but should not be bad in the slightest. Actually, he doesn't have a problem with distance, from what he could see. He took out his sonic device and pointed it at Taggon's armour. It would work identically to a laser pointer, only with sound. He studied the noise that bounced back. Three layers of armour. Conclusion: Good unarmed fighter with probably okay armour. Non-Vehicon. Oh, it's him. Lots of blades, mostly hidden. Always assume he's trying to stab you through the spark. Practically harmless though. "Hi, I was called here by Taggon?" Vamp said. "Sorry for being late, my chronometer couldn't be fixed."

Sydrone felt the hard and firm grip around his ankle. It was at that moment he knew... he fragged up. Sydrone didn't have time to fully register the grip before he was flung with almighty force down into the ground, with his own momentum and some of Taggon's force added to it, any other bot might have been knocked out from the blow. But Sydrone turned his healm at the last minute and the more armoured side smashed into the ground, visible denting the arena and almost knocking Sy unconscious. Sydrone tried to roll onto his back but Taggon still had a grip on his leg. He listened to what Taggon had to say I really need to stop showing my back, I'll admit... Sydrone says shakily, before aiming a brutal kick at Taggon's shin But... I still know how to take apart someone's guard. he says, then he heard Vampyricon, he probably would have seen that almighty takedown Taggon had just executed. Crap. He would be hearing about that later. Sydrone decided to focus on Taggon. If the kick connected and Taggon released his grip, Sydrone would spring to his feet and immediately follow up with a punch to the face, if it missed, Sydrone would try to get up enough momentum for a hand spring to deliver a kick to Taggon's head.

The vehicon felt the slam of the mech’s helm into the floor. The small tremor on the dojo told Taggon that he was perhaps making the level of difficulty too high for his student. Then he recalled how he had once gone through days of suffering due to Ceft’s and Decepticon training, and then the older mech just mentally ex-vented. This assassin was putting up a brilliant fight, and he wasn’t stupid at all. The point of this training was not to make a fool of this mech, not to bring dishonor upon his strengths, but rather, Taggon was teaching him to perfect his skills. The student known as Vampyricon would enter from one of the entrances, and Taggon would notice how the student observed from afar the spar. Taking his educated guess of Vampyricon , Taggon would speak, “Welcome Vampyricon. Yes, I am your teacher. Your task is this: how shall you assist your fellow students?” Taggon asked the student, in the small pause there was between Sydrone getting his thoughts back in line and squirming slightly. Taggon had given instruction, but he wanted this student tested. Vamp had many choices of how to help Sydrone and Tireburn—the blue mech in the corner. Taggon just wanted to see how, and who he would engage first. Taggon’s helm had turned to Sydrone, who was confessing his err before delivering a kick for his shin. The mech was taking the same expenses Taggon had: he was speaking, and in speaking, he was taking precious time---just like Taggon’s other apprentice Airwatcher had. The two would definitely get along if they had been trained around the same time. The kick would hit Taggon alright, and sure enough, the vehicon would let go of the foot. Sydrone’s next series of moves would be what Taggon found slightly repetitive. The mech was going right for the helm, once more with his clenched servo. Taggon would in turn repeat a defense mechanism; Taggon would use his spare fore-arm (the one which had not been previously gripping Sydrone) to swipe across his faceplate with his own strength, battering Sydrone’s blow to the face aside as Taggon took a step back. He continued tot ake another, as Sydrone built up enough momentum to once more deliver a kick to Taggon’s face. Taggon turned to the side so that the powerful kick would impact the broad side of his shoulder, blocking the attack, though it made him take another step back. The kick to his armor would give the vehicon excess energy, as the thin layer inbetween his first and second, composed of microspic and hundreds of pillars, would soak up a portion of some of the blow. The blow’s impact would be transformed into a minor amount of energy for Taggon, thwhich was tucked away for the warrior’s emergency use. The vehicon’s armor was meant to soak up a fair amount of impact from most kinds of blows, though the secret ingredient and designs for such armor would only be shared with his most trusted allies. Taggon himself, in response to the moves, would simply say, “Sydrone, never focus one part of your target for too long. Not in hand-to-hand combat. Your attacks are fierce. Try to build up to knocking me out. Ask yourself: are my opponents own defenses repetitive? Has he been using moves that are nullifying mine, and how can I be ready to counter-them?” Taggon stated, in a slight crouch, readying himself for another series of attacks—with his audios keened for anything coming from behind. ((Working on post for you Tireburn))

Tire swiftly rolls out of the way then putting him self on a Backward position with his servos aiding him on keeping himself still on his backplate he tries doing one Dropkick to the A.I's faceplate. He figured that since the Sword was directly going to give the Blow It might have just already hit the Ground stuck or something due to dodging giving him an Open attack.If that did not work and he caught his Pede Tire would then maneuver himself by trying to reach and to successfully give a Kick to the A.I's faceplate. As Taggon battled on, and spoke some, The A.I. Tobar would continue to engage Tireburn in combat. The A.I. knew he would have to play fair though, even though the body was one that it couldn't feel a nervous system with, the body that it inhabited was one which he would make sure acted realistic in this battle. The drop-kick smash the AI in the face, causing his jump to come to a halt, and him to clatter to the ground, pausing for a moment since he would be 'fazed' if he were to have a nervous system. Tire burn would maneuver once more, endeavoring to give the AI another strong kick to the faceplate--but the machine would act, stirring so that the kick would hit his shoulder pad. If he were a normal Cybertronian, it would be what he would do, since he would be unable to do an elaborate maneuver as to evade the blow after getting a bad blow to the face. After making contact with his shoulder, the AI would be given a chance to have his helm counted out-of-shock, and he would roll backwards until he was parallel to the ground, before he swung his own leg as to kick right at Tireburns exposed ankles, and get him on the floor as well. The AI studied itself by grinding its elbow into the ground. The AI's attack was in quick succession, and the distance would make it rather difficult for Tireburn to elude the AI's kick. Whether it works or not, the AI would shove itself to it's feet as to crouch, and deliver a proper uppercut to Tireburn.

"How shall you assist your fellow students?" Vampyricon started thinking. "Choices, choices. On one hand, it's Sydrone, on the other, I could hold this favour against him.""Why not both?"Noting that Taggon never told him ranged weapons were disallowed, both of Vamp's arms reached behind his back, pulling out a sniper rifle and a crossbow. Meanwhile, he noticed Sydrone's kick. Something was off. He ran the scene through his head again. Conservation of momentum. Either Taggon had shock-absorbing armour or one of the conservation laws were violated. "It's the latter. It's definitely the latter," Vamp jokingly thought. His optics focused on Taggon. Setting the rifle's laser power to a few watts, he aimed at Taggon's head with his right hand. It would be harmless, like a bee sting is to humans, but it would tell Taggon that he's been shot. He fired. A laser seared through the air and would hit within a ten millionth of a second. At the same time, the panels on the side of Vamp's head angled towards Tobar. He set his crossbow to load EMP bolts with his left hand, firing first at Tobar's head. The bolt should reach Tobar within a quarter of a second. Then as the crossbow loaded another bolt in a tenth of a second, Vamp aimed at where Tobar's head would be if he completed the uppercut, and once it completed loading, fired. The bolt was slightly wobbly, though its speed was the same, making it slightly easier to dodge from, but not by much. Only then did he answer Taggon's question, "From afar."

Sydrone would be flung back and land a distance away from Taggon. He would hear Taggon's advice clearly and decided to analyse his opponent. Sydrone recalled how he would attack, always aiming for his opponent's helm to knock him clean out and be done with the fight... Taggon would always try to gain distance from Sydrone or grab the arm or leg that was trying to land the attack, so Sydrone would need to close up all gaps and try to chip away at Taggon's defence until he could land the finishing blow. This whole thought process was completed in less than 5 seconds. Sydrone takes up his stance again, and beckons Taggon with his hand. Then he heard the shot and saw the muzzle flash, it was a sniper, firing laser bullets by shot sound and flash. He then glares at Vamp, this must be him trying, rather pathetically, to gain a debt of gratitude from the Assassins. Sydrone just states, with cold rage, Stay out of my fight Vamp, I won't owe you anything. Ever. he says before turning back to Taggon Boss, you okay? he asks

[Oh, right, I keep forgetting, Sydrone. Quick physics lesson: Lasers are: 1. Beams of light, and therefore 2. Are silent 3. Concentrated in a line, and thus 4. Are invisible Lasers are NOT: 1. Physical objects like bullets]

((Vamp, if you would please keep the sarcasm down to a minimal, or only IC, that would make the ones rping with you more inclined to not return any nasty comments, hence starting an unnecessary fight. I believe when Sydrone was looking at your post, and seeing that you shot a laser, he was imagining your weapon somewhat like this; A line of light that darts from the gun to the target in a blink of an eye--like the ones in Start-Wars, Mass Effect, and lots of sci-fi fandoms. It's not necessarily the laser that would make the sound, I believe it's the gun firing the laser that makes that little chirp sound that Sydrone may be turning his head to. If you want a more detailed version of how Taggon's armor works, then I can send you the link to his app. Posting now to keep this thing moving.)) Taggon had knew he hadn't specified on the weapon variation on Vamp--but he was the question was a test nonetheless, one which Taggon wanted to see the results of. Taggon would watch how Sydrone would hesitate, taking a few seconds to think. The mech was doing something that was wise, and could save his life one day; he was listening. The more he listened, the more he would learn. The back of the vehicon's helm was indeed hit, as Vampyricon hit it. Luckily, Taggon had been smart enough to add some armor there w little while ago--so a shot wouldn't be all that lethal anyways. The laser did give Taggon the noticeable pain that would give him the equivalent of a very painful migraine for a few seconds. He would glance at Vampyricon, before Sydrone would rush over to see if Taggon was alright. Taggon knew his visor had blinked for an instant thanks to the impact of the shot, he had been hit by a gun after all. The stinging was still something. The visor was quite old--he had given it upgrades, but it was still something that hadn't been replaced entirely. Thanks to this--if attacked appropriately, it would flicker. It'd scene many a battle.The vehicon would just hold up a servo at Sydrone, signaling he was fine. "I had a feeling that you would apply such ranged weaponry." The vehicon's calm voice would emit from his helm without much difference in it. That made the student the realist of the group thus far. Sydrone seemed to be the type who wouldn't mind direct combat, and most likely would succeed and continue in the art in the future, while Vampyricon had resorted to modern technology. "Should that have been a real shot, that would have assisted you Sydrone. If we take this up to a level Vampyricon, then it will be asked of you what you shall do if your weapons are no longer functioning?" Taggon stated. The vehicon kept Sydrone in his vision--the spar had never been officially called off, and the assassin was welcome to retry his attempts for victory any time within the arena.

-Thunk thunk-
Rythmic footsteps were heard as two small mechs pounded through the hallways, giggling. Eventually he freqeuncy of footsteps lessened, two sets of footsteps becoming one. Shortstock slid into the training room, having heard the commotion. He needed twice the training to handle his abilities, and he wouldn't miss a session. He chuckles nervously and waited for a proper moment to enter.

Vampyricon hesitated for the briefest of moments. His weapons had never malfunctioned. He sighed. At least he was prepared for a melee fight. "Not much of a choice now, is there?" Vamp said, storing his rifle on his back. They latched on and shifted into a compact storage form. His wings folded down, covering his back and reducing his cross-sectional area so his opponent wouldn't hit him as often. Vamp felt his fangs slide out and he flexed his claws. He walked forth, holding his unloaded crossbow by the stock. He kept one of the panels on his helm trained on Tobar, in case he decided to retaliate. The other panel faced Sydrone as both of Vamp's optics looked at Taggon. "I think you should go first," he said.

((Tagging: Vampyricon , Short Stack )) Taggon would keep the side of his visor angled so he could keep on eye on Sydrone, in case the assassin decided he wanted to try anything new out. The mech was thinking on his next moves, after all. Possibly, anyways. Taggon would keep the front of his visor facing Vamp, never hinting at where he was truly looking; it was an attribute of his visor that Taggon enjoyed. The vehicon would hear the sound of a new comer, arriving through the entrance. He would glance towards it. More and more students seemed to be taking heed to the sounds of battle throughout Feenixfire's school. Taggon would welcome the concept of more students, as long as they would learn, just as he knew the Primal would. Then Vampyricon followed up with his own string of words, which Taggon listened to. The mech knew he might get licked. That was how someone learned though. By getting defeated in combat. Though Vampyricon and Sydrone, when working together, Taggon believed, could accomplish much more than they thought if given the proper discipline. "As today's lesson, we are training for hand-to-hand combat situations. To be specific, when you have nothing but your fists and your wits to guide you on the field. Days like those come every now and then, and when they do, if you are not prepared then you will die." Taggon stated patiently. He did state the last part in a warning tone, and he said the sentence loud enough for the new-comer to hear, or everyone in the room. To the veteran, it was all true. He was not joking when he spoke of death, but he would tell his students the truth in not too much of a stern way. Rather, the unstirred way he always spoke. "Step forth into the ring Vampyricon, and you, new student." Taggon said. He would back up, providing space for them to enter. "Introduce yourself, and then I will tell you your opponent if you are engaging in this training session." The vehicon said to the smaller mech. He signaled Vampyricon to wait. He had his plans for the mech, if this smaller one was entering the 'fray'.

After Taggon had spoken, Sydrone just flips Vamp the bird before dashing forward, keeping himself low, and aims an elbow into Taggon's gut. He then straighten up in a second and aim a kick at Taggon's side, (if this kick was caught, Sydrone would aim a quick jab at Taggon's face before continuing with his assault) before finally finishing off with a huge arcing flip-kick ((Sy bein' all like Scorpion)) directly into Taggon's jaw, aiming to floor the Vehicon. It was a basic one-two-three system of combat Sydrone had learned in Assassin's training, consisting of three attacks, consisting of two attacks designed to chip away at defense and finishing with an extremely powerful attack.

The sparkling grinned, with a sudden and surprising boost of courage, and went where Taggom had told him. He didn't know what it was about him, but it was calming. It made him feel like nothing was going to happen. Mech's like that were in short supply nowadays. He tapped something, and his double edged blade clattered to the ground.

Vampyricon walked forth slowly, and said, "I'm not looking forwa-"Vamp ran forward, closing the distance between Taggon and himself in a few steps. He reached for Taggon's shoulder to pull him forward into Sydrone's elbow. Vamp would then fire his jet engine, propelling himself over his teacher to land behind him. He would then try to jab his clawed digits into Taggon's shoulder and placed his crossbow's spiked tip above Taggon's pelvic region, so Taggon would dodge straight into Sydrone's kick. After Taggon has dodged, Vamp would place the firing end of his crossbow on Taggon's head. Taggon should be distracted for a split second, which Vamp would use to stab his claws into Taggon's abdomen.

Taggon would realize how young Short Stack was as he entered the ring. Instead of considering not including the sparkling-sized mech form the training session, Taggon would decide he could permit the youth to join. The sooner the little mech grades the concept of war and self-defense, the better off he would be. A mech of his word, Taggon would begin to speak, when movement to his right silenced him. Sydrone was making his move, and the vehicon would feel himself pushed into the blow by Vampyricon. Taggon would grunt at the rough blow to the stomach, before Sydrone would endeavor a secondary bow; a kick to the other side. Meanwhile, the sound of a jet engine boomed, and there was a blur as Vampyricon made his move over the vehicon, also trying to maneuver beside Taggon. The blow Sydrone gave was something Taggon had learned to ignore over the time in his combat experience, but today, he would loosen up, and let out a gruff grunt, as the students moved their swiftest to defeat him; Sydrone's kick came for the vehicon's side, and made contact, and was encouraged into the blow once more by Vampyricon's timing. The third blow would come, but Taggon would give them one last difficulty; Sydrone was again aiming for the head, bringing his leg up to swing, as Vampyricon continued moving behind him---Taggon would pull himself to the side, singing his helm out of the way of the weapon-hit, allowing the large kick made by Sydrone to swing right for Vampyricon's weapon, the velocity at which the assassin's kick would go at would likely send the weapon flying out of Vampyircon's servo. Taggon had not just simply pulled himself to the side however. His angle in which he had swung out of the way allowed him to just as quickly sink to the ground, squatting again, and it was there that he heaved one fist each for Sydrone and Vampyricon's own abdomens. These blows would be abrupt and swift, perhaps causing both mechs to stagger or grunt. Taggon could feel the dents in his side; they ached at his use of the part of his body. " Vampyricon. No weapons. Just your fists and feet." Taggon stated. Whether these students had much to learn or not, when this was all finished, everyone might need a repair. The vehicon could only say so much as he was put under the attack. The sparkling would be allowed the display of his teacher getting beaten, and on the medium setting, Taggon wanted to be defeated. He was simply giving them one to two last obstacles. Vampyricon had just entered this fight, and he could stand to have his pride knocked down a peg, as to appreciate the experience of a victory. It was clear Taggon was a little occupied at the moment, and Afterburner and Shortstock would have to wait momentarily~ ((Sorry Shortstock and Afterburner. Can't be everywhere at once. Gonna be available soon enough, if Vamp and Sydrone keep this up.))

Vampyricon allowed himself a little smile. Everything was going according to plan. Then Taggon dodged. Vamp took everything in at once. Sydrone's leg was going for his crossbow. Taggon pulled in both his arms. His YouTube feed updated. He responded accordingly. He rotated his crossbow 90 degrees, so that the blade was in the path of Sydrone's leg. If Sydrone's leg didn't stop, and judging by its speed, it won't, the blade would sink into the armour underneath. Oh, a punch from Taggon. That's nice. Vamp's arm shot down, sweeping across to deflect the blow. Time for drastic measures. Four tentacles deployed from his back. One shot up to wrap around the crossbow, so that it won't fly away. Another swept low at Sydrone's leg, trying to knock him off balance, which should be easy since he only had one leg on the ground, and Taggon was aiming a punch at his abdomen. The last two would try to wrap around Taggon's arm aimed at Sydrone. They would then extend forward and attempt to throw Taggon away from him. And then he started up the YouTube video.

Sydrone feels a stab in his leg and instantly remembers the only one who had a sword out in this arena VAMPYRICON! Sydrone yells, swinging a punch at Vamps head before ducking Taggon's grab and aiming to trip him up. If Sydrone managed to trip Taggon, he would leap up and aim to land on Taggon's head, smashing it into the ground.

Shortstock watched on, not minding. His training in the academy had gone well, and he could virtually control his ability. He'd done it free of fear at least three times, though a good spook still did the trick.
((May I ask how long ago this occurred?)$
