"Tommy hurry up, your bein' a pain," Techno called to his younger brother, as they were forced to stop for the fifth time since leaving the house, since tommy had once again fallen behind.

"ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU HAVE LONG LEGS," Tommy yelled back, already out of breath.

Cypress chuckled at the brothers argument. She was having no problem keeping up with techno, but she was perfectly fine with keeping that a secret to protect tommy's ego. She also hadn't just woken up like he had, it was already noon.

The three had been walking for about ten minutes and tommy had complained for nine of them. Currently they were navigating through the forest. Techno taking the lead since he was the only one who knew where they were going.

Techno pushed a branch aside for him and cypress to duck under. He had once again assumed tommy was lagging behind, not realizing that the boy was right next too him until the branch he had moved hit tommy in the face.

"OWWWW, MAAN," Tommy whined. Cypress struggled to stop herself from laughing.

"Stop whining were almost there," Techno said rolling his eyes.

"You sound like Phil," cypress contributed, giggling slightly at the comparison.

This statement apparently spurred tommy into action once more.

"DADNOBLADE!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs before dissolving into wheezes.

Cypress winced at the volume of the boy before joining him in laughter. Techno just sighed before taking a few steps into the clearing that was now in front of them.

Cypress and tommy joined his side quickly after regaining their composure.

The three stood at the edge of a large clearing lined with trees, with one side of the clearing was up against the side of a mountain. The ground was coated with a thick layer of snow, except where there was a circle of rocks laid out resembling some sort of fighting area. In the farthest corner of the clearing was armor stands, racks of weapons, and training dummies.

"Welcome to the training grounds," Techno said. Pride lit up his face as he gestured to the area in front of the group.

Tommy's eyes grew wide, his mouth hung open with shock before he snapped it shut. His face morphed into one of pure excitement. He rushed over to the gear, possibly ecstatic. Cypress and techno followed the boy to the stands, taking a considerably longer time.

Cypress had already known that such a place existed, although she was impressed at the sheer size of the place. Techno had mentioned the training ground to both cypress and tommy before, tommy just hadn't been paying attention. One thing he had mentioned too cypress only was the room hidden behind the fake stone of the mountain. That was gonna be a surprise for tommy.

Techno had before explained his plans of destruction to cypress. It was another late night meeting of theirs, something that had become much more frequent, when techno had spilled his goal of a ruined l'manburg. Cypress had listened, she admired how much thought he had put into his plan, not to mention all the preparation he had done to get enough wither skulls. While cypress didn't necessarily hate all governments she certainly hated that one. She had seen first hand how corrupt and in-just it was, and they were perfectly fine aiding in its destruction.

Tommy grabbed the first sword in sight and began swinging it around, while taunting invisible enemies. Techno walked around the boy to the weapons before turning to face both cypress and tommy.
