A junkie and a pile of junk on a junkyard island, The Ultimate Mandventure! (Blaezey)

Charles stood on the soil ground of the largest island of the archipelago, turning his head around in confusion. He had been looking for Blaez ever since arriving at the island... Where exactly were they even supposed to meet? Huh, was that pile of brown filth the river he had heard about? Charles approached the 'river' rather carefully. He was definitely not enjoying himself glomping through this island. If it indeed was the river, then he was at the right place. The issue was that he could not se Blaez anywhere... Was he late?

In any case, he was also wondring what was up with Blaez. He once again invited him to met up with him, but this time he mentioned something about training. Well, if it was going to help the team, Charles was always up for it, even despite his unwilligness to enter any of the Parallel Worlds ever since that day...

He continued looking around...

Standasen,the island condition didn't bothered Blaez in the slightest,it did had a few interesting places like the skate parks and baseball courts,but they weren't the reason for visiting the place,he has been wanting to do some training after the last time they visited the alternate Zela,and from what he could gather there were some tears around Standasen,it would be perfect for him to train but he couldn't go alone it would be dangerous,unfortunately Charles was the only one with the schedule open,but for something quick they both should be enough.

It seems that Charles arrived there first"There you are."He said as he walked towards his friend"I'm glad you showed up...I've been thinking about this for a while and i thought it would be a good idea if we trained so we could have a better chance when fighting stronger opponents."He explained to Charles"There should be one of those tears somewhere around here..."He looked around for a while trying to spot it"There is it...Should we get going?"He said once he found it"...By the way i have one of those gems Kazuya had last time,so if i get knocked out you know what to do,right?"

Seriously now? Has he really arrived too early for the meetup or was it that late after the appointment that Blaez had already left after waiting for hours for Charles to arrive? Geez, he should really get himself a watch... and a mobile phone, for that matter. "..." In any case, Charles wandered around the river for a while longer before Blaez's voice finally broke the silence, just as Charles was investigating a pond full of curious orange frogs. Huh, were there even frogs on these islands?

"Oh." He turned to the direction of the voice and waved at Blaez. So he was early, huh? That was good. "Why here, though?" He nodded at Blaez's explanation and asked. Seriously though, this whole island smelled like bad news. He couldn't really imagine what would be waiting at the other end of the rift... Hopefully not a swamp, though. It would take hours for him to clean all of the parts of his body if he were to fall into some muddy marsh. He followed Blaez over to the rift he apparently knew about from before. The fact he also carried one of those curious gems Kazuya used last time to get them out was well apreciated, as well. He nodded at Blaez's final remark. If anything bad happened, he was ready to knock Blaez out and use the gem himself.

"Mind if I take a look?" Charles glanced into the rift and his face suddenly turned twisted... It was exactly what he expected and feared... a swamp. He had to maintain his composure, though, so he shook his head and frowned. "I'll go first." He leaned through the tear, holding onto a tree branch as he tested if the ground was hard enough to walk on. Thankfully, it was, so he jumped inside with a relieved glint in his eye. Once inside, Charles looked around himself. The parallel Standasen island was... well, a barren, dead-looking swamp area. What he found especially curious was the purple hue of the sea he could see far away, along with something that seemed like a very tall and huge purple wall of... water? almost at the horizon. Well, no point boggling his mind over it right now. They were here to train, not investigate. Besides, the last time they tried investigating a parallel world, it ended up rather badly...

Charles shook his head and turned back to see if Blaez has entered. After making sure he did, he nodded and waited for Blaez to give him a sign and get used to the new surroundings before dashing off. "Let's go, there are Shadows over at this side."

Movement:

A swamp,he definitely wasn't expecting something like that,last time was a desert,it seems the parallel worlds were always an ambient that would bother most people,but for Blaez,that was nothing,he was willing to fight no matter the condition of where he is fighting"This should be interesting."He said to himself as he quickly glanced around"First a desert and now a swamp..."He chuckled before summoning his weapon"...Oh yeah,did Jack told you about our new team member?Probably not,her name is Nagisa,she is a third year...And her persona is different than ours,it's not fit for combat...I can't explain,she is the best person to explain it."He nodded once he was done talking.

"Shadows...?"The teen grinned,he was eager to fight and with any luck he would grow stronger,although Charles must be hesitant,Nilo's death affected everyone on the team but him,he wasn't sure if that was a bad or a good thing,why he should morn over the death of someone who he barely knew?It was a bad thing,but it didn't concerned him...maybe he was being too cold"Don't worry Charles,this time it's just shadows,we will crush them with no problem."When fighting,your mind should be clear of any doubt or distraction,things will go wrong if the fighter isn't mentally fit for combat,or at least he thought like that,Blaez didn't fought much before but he was starting to like it,it was definitely the rush it gave him,maybe this persona thing was a blessing after all,he never felt so good before"Let's get going,those shadows need to learn their place,right?"And then he started to move towards the shadows,he looked extremely calm,considering what he went through,most people would frown at the idea of fighting again,but Blaez...he was aware of the danger,he just didn't let it get to him,he wouldn't allow himself to be scared by the bad things that happened.

After they got close enough to the shadows,Blaez stopped and said"There they are,i hope you're ready Charles."He tightened his grip and dashed towards the shadows,he was ready to fight,and he would give his all,even if it was just training"Come at me!"He didn't flinched or hesitated,he knew he could beat the shadows without much struggle.
