[There is an extremely loud fight going on in the coliseum. Or, to be more exact, the two Aries Saints are sparring with each other. Neither is wearing his Cloth but there is a faint golden glow flickering around them as they exchange a blows. They seem even until Shion's next punch slams into a Crystal Wall that has appeared around Mu. Ignoring the pain of the impact, Shion teleports behind Mu and the protection the wall offers.

Before he can start his counter attack, a very large wallmaster scuttles toward the both of them. Shion gives an annoyed growl, meets Mu's eyes briefly...then both of them let fly with a cosmo blast the tears the wallmaster to pieces. They two Saints move away from the small crater and the remains of the wallmaster.]

Why don't they ever learn?

[Mu only shrugs in response to Shion's question, then they begin again. Several more craters dotted around the coliseum floor show that isn't the first time their sparring has been interrupted by the wallmasters although curiously the stands seem to have been spared the destruction. It's only when someone gets close enough that they will see the faint shimmer of the crystal wall that's keep the stands, and innocent bystanders, from being caught in the crossfire.]

[In a beat between attacks]

Shion, you're slower than usual.

[Tries to ignore that dig] It is only your imagination!

Oh? I'm sorry to shatter you, but I'm telling the truth.

[Going to kick you now Mu] Then you are mistaken, I have been practicing while we are trapped here!

[A kick which is not only blocked, but caught, Mu grabbing at the leg and trying to throw Shion]

I cannot mistake my own experiences.

[Shion is barely able to land steady after that] I am not growing slower, I cannot afford to!

Then land a blow!

[Attracted by the noise, Jade walks in, then taps on the crystal wall to see what the barrier is made of]

Don't let me interrupt you.

[He'll just examine the barrier until they're finished.]

[Its made of psychic energy. Any force he applies to the wall, he'll find applied back to him, as well. Stuff rebounds!]

[From below, during a small pause in the battle, Mu calls up without looking]

Just don't strike against it.

[calling back down] I'll do my best.

[But that reflection of force is very interesting, and though he doesn't strike against it, he does keep examining it.]

[It's incandescent, solid, but seems to waver whenever the fight below becomes particularly intense.]

[Which is also interesting. But there isn't much to be done there, so he sits down to observe the pattern and wait out the fight.]

[Shion sense that in a distance sort of way and pauses to shout] Don't touch that!

[Jade holds his hands up] So sorry.
