((I believe what Vamp is trying to say is he did indeed try to trip Sydrone, if you examine the post, he also inflicted damage and perhaps added to the effect of the trip with the point of his crossbow.))
The instant Taggon's arms had extended outward, he knew it would be wise to bring them back in. The vehicon was quick, perhaps quicker even than these students, though today he was lowering his reactions down a level--he would be successful in bringing his arms together, in defense as the mechs before him reacted, aiming to strike him. Vampyrican would be lashing his arms out as to return the grab-and-hit favor, and Sydrone would be intent on landing another kick to him.
The vehicon had thrown up his defenses quick, but his feet were not planted properly, and Sydrone would shove Taggon back, with the combined efforts of Vampyircons own purposeful actions. The vehicon was slammed to the ground on his back, thanks to his arms, his helm woul;d be sparred, but Sydrone would land atop his chest, feet first, in an effective take down. Should both students restrain themselves form trying to dismantle one another, then there would be a silence as the three-second time limit would be reached, and Taggon's venting could be heard.
"Well done. You have successfully subdued me." Taggon would tell them both. Vampy icon had come in early, and Sydrone had indeed put in more effort--there were many things to be said about performance, but first Sydrone and Vampyricon had to accept victory. Assuming both wouldn't engage in their own brawl.

Post by Sydrone on Feb 5, 2016 16:27:48 GMT
Sydrone rolled onto his front and picked himself up. He had his hand on his blade, the weapon stored on his back, and walks up to Taggon Sir. Even though I would be honoured to accept this victory, I cannot. Vampyricon broke the rules of servo-to-servo combat, and for that, I cannot take this victory, without crossing every tenet of the Creed of Honour my father drilled into me. Sydrone then turns to Vampyricon, his expression hardening quite considerably And you. You would do well to obey the rules of your superiors. Lest the Assassins hunt you down for being to much of a rogue element. As we have done before. he says, with nothing but sheer malice in his voice.

Vampyricon switched to his Scottish accent. "You assassins and your rules. This isn't a game, this is war. There are no rules. Plus, if I find myself without weapons, I'd run. I'm clever enough to know I'm not good at hand-to-hand. Staying would be suicidal. And you can obey your superiors all you like. I listen if it's to my advantage." Vamp smirked, switching back to Canadian. "Your team can hunt me all you like. It makes life more fun, especially when they chase me into my explosives lab. Oh, and one more thing. We haven't won. Not really. Far from it, in fact. If Taggs had actually paid effort, you'd be dead in seconds. Actually, make that 4.2, now that I think about it. On a side note, you kinda look handsome with your grumpy face."[ Sydrone, Taggon]

Taggon arose from the ground, never brushing himself off, rather, he acted as if he had never fallen. He watched as two students would begin to engage in a conversation that would undoubtedly yield more destructive attitudes. Or enraged ones for that matter. Taggon folded his arms, as he listened to Vampyricon. tag would have liked to state that in war, there were rules. He had his own, but, considering that they still had to do with the benefit of his team, and he was constantly at his superiors disposal, he believed it was there he would draw the line on Vampyricon's war-philosophy.
"Vampyricon, I advise you do not remain faithful to your postulates on war for much longer. Most teachers will not be able to tolerate it. If you say that in the wrong room, you could receive lots of blows because of that input." Taggon cautioned Vampyricon. "In the meantime, considering you have two audio receptors rather than two mouths, until you have something of relevance to say, remain silent. Snide remarks never get anyone anywhere. Both of you." Taggon addressed both young mechs, at the end sentence. The vehicon had a calm warning in his voice. he wasn't afraid to deal out punishments. If vehicon training had taught Taggon anything, it was how to build character, or how to make people build character. There were plenty of chores Taggon had on his mind. Vampyricon and Sydrone were receiving a warning note, just by listening to the tone in Taggon's voice, that if they pressed on in their rivalry talk, they would have a few things coming.
Taggon could be a sergeant when he needed to be.
"Now students. Your next exercises will be to engage each other in combat. I will name off teams of students who shall duel one another, and I will observe. I must see the best of what you can do." Taggon would say. "The rules are still no toys. Simply servo to servo combat. If one of you eliminates this rule, there will be consequences." Taggon told his students. "Before I begin; any questions?"

Sydrone disregards Vamp's comment, instead, deciding to face Taggon and bow his apology Apologies boss he said, shooting a smug glance at Vamp before hearing what Taggon had to say Hmm... Sounds good to me. What is the winning condition. Do we knock out opponent out, or just pin them? Sydrone asks And what will the match-ups be? he asks, still sounding a little irate, but the respectful tone that Sydrone used when talking to Taggon was still there and very prominent.

"Nope."
Shortstock rolled his shoulders forward once, and moved his arm in a circular motion, prepping up for his matchup.

Vampyricon raised his hand after storing his crossbow. It didn't really matter to him that Taggon doesn't approve. He is a Vehicon, after all. He should be used to following orders. Then again, he did defect.
"What is the extent of injury we are allowed to inflict and just to be clear, we can use our entire body, right?" he asked. "Also, do we get breaks for solving quantum gravity? Or checking up on gravitational wave detectors?"

Taggon would have a knife unsheathed, and the vehicon would begin to sharpen it, sheerly out of habit. He was not going to actually use the blade, rather, he would just keep it in tip-top condition. 'Hmm... Sounds good to me. What is the winning condition. Do we knock out opponent out, or just pin them?' Sydrone asked 'And what will the match-ups be?' "The winners earn their next meal." Taggon replied steadily. He knew these students were healthy, and had more than enough energon to fight. These days, the Autobot base seemed to have an ample amount of energon with the Lix Bar still operating, and considering Taggon had previously gone on three successful mining missions, bringing home waste amounts of energon, there was lots of energon that had been floating around. These students, should they miss a meal, would be able to push through. If they squabbled, then that was just too bad. "How you win is simple. One successful hit to the center of the chest or a blow to the helm is the victor." Taggon answered the next part of the question. By this point, he speculated, perhaps everyone was beginning to have second thoughts on if he really was that nice. " Vampyricon and Supernova Mavrix , you shall be combatants. Sydrone and Short Stack you both will fight." Taggon went on, still honing the edge of his knife. 'What is the extent of injury we are allowed to inflict and just to be clear, we can use our entire body, right?" he asked. "Also, do we get breaks for solving quantum gravity? Or checking up on gravitational wave detectors?' Vampyircon would ask. At this point, Taggon had guessed out what kind of person Vampyricon was. "Vampyricon, there are no breaks until the session is over. I shall inform you when that is." Taggon replied, "No. You cannot use any part of your body. The rest of the students can, as long as that part of their body is not a blade or gun. Since you have decided to say something sarcastic, you can fight Afterburner with one servo behind your back." Taggon instructed, the stillness remaining in his voice, along with the instruction. "If there are no more questions, then all of you and your opponents move to separate squares platforms, and commence fighting on my mark."

"I was serious when talking about gravitational wave detectors," Vampyricon said, while moving to the platform. "One just passed by. Literally. Just now. Come on, Nova, let's get this over with."

Come on, Vamp. I'm ready for you.

Sydrone turns to Shortstock, his face plate raising Come on then, lil' fella. Let's see what you've got. he said, leaping up onto another training ring and calmly waiting for Shortstock to join him

Taggon would just glance at Vampyricon warningly. The mech was pushing his luck. Taggon would continue to stand where he was, sharpening the blade, as the students got into their positions. Once Vampyricon and Afterburner were in place, the vehicon would speak up,
"Afterburner and Vampyricon. Begin your match." Taggon told them, before turning to the smaller student and Sydrone. The small student hadn't replied yet, but Taggon was a patient mech, and could give it time. Still. Hopefully Sydrone would not be too rough on the youngster.

Shortstock giggled. He turned to Sydrone, going over in his processor all the times he'd been overlooked because of his size.
Shortstock: Strength in numbers.
Shortstock did nothing, surprisingly. He simply stood there, his arms in a casual pose, and his weight shifted to his left side. To even the most trained of eyes, he looked naive and unprepared. But they did not know how that was what Shortstock wanted them to see.

Sydrone analysed his opponent. He was definitely inexperienced, but something told him that Shortstock was hiding something. He just seemed so... Naive. He was acting like he wasn't experienced enough to be invited here by Taggon. Basic Logic and Analysis would suggest that Shortstock was never this naive and he was just trying to trick Sydrone into believing that he was inexperienced. Although, "strength in numbers" did puzzle Sy a little. Sydrone was familiar with that premise of fighting like that. He just beckoned Shortstock onto the mat, not saying a word, but his face told Shortstock that he wouldn't be fooled.

The vehicon watched as both opponents took the time to look each other over slightly more closely than Vampyricon and Afterburner had. Taggon decided that their match could hold more of a chance of something quite well played out--both were taking a short time in studying one another briskly.
"Sydrone and Shortstock. Engage." Taggon ordered, with simple calmness. Sydrone had a slight advantage in knowledge perhaps, considering Taggon had just previously taught him some tricks. Short stock on the other servo was smaller--but with his height, he could take advantage of Sydrone in quite wicked ways. Attacks from below were the ones that were a bit more challenging to avoid and counter act. Hence, the vehicon would keep his eye on both matches, making sure he never missed a thing from either. These students were smart each in their own degree, so each fight had good potential, essentially.

Shortstock frowned. Half the time that worked. His back, formerly slumped, straightened, and his center of gravity was restored. His servos clenched lightly, and he took quick, sure strides to his opponent. He giggled again, his posture not changing, and began. He raised his pede barely off the ground and slammed it towards his opponent's pede, the lack of pullback and speed making it a hard move to detect or counter. Usually the chassis at the pedes was a tender point, it had not yet hardened from battle wounds due to it being a rare target. Which was why most humans hated stubbing their toe. Should the attack land, the sparkling would bring his knee up, aiming to hit his opponent's knee. Both maneuvers were performed seamlessly and quick.

Sydrone would notice his opponent's pede lift from the ground a second before Shortstock would fly at him, hoping to kick him in the foot, Sydrone would move his foot over, ever so slightly, so that Shortstock's foot slamed into the armour around the bottom of the foot, and when Shortstock jumped up to try and hit his knee, Sydrone would bring his leg back, for a split second until the peak of the attack was over, before bringing his knee forward again and into the small robot's gut.

"If you insist," Vampyricon said, walking forward with his left arm behind his back. He kept talking, hopefully distracting her. "You know, if we get this done quickly-" One of Vamp's tentacles shot towards Supernova's abdomen. "-we could probably-" Another went for her helm. "-leave sooner and you could grab something to eat."
If Nova made any attempt to grab or even touch his tentacles, he would pull them back quickly to prevent it. It was evident from his attacks that he wasn't good at hand-to-hand combat. At all.
