[When the camera clicks on, it first pans over to what looks like a desolate wasteland. There are bodies and body parts strewn everywhere, craters marring the landscape, and the only thing breaking the erie silence was a strong breeze occasionally cutting across the land.

Suddenly, the camera shifts, giving an up close and personal look of someone's purple iris. It then pans back, revealing Haru making a skeptical face at the journal, as he tries to get it to work. He uses it so infrequently for making posts he still barely has an idea of how to use it properly. Thankfully, he takes notice that the thing seems to be working.]

Ah, cool! It's working! [He flashes a big grin at the camera as he puts the journal down on the ground.

He pauses for a moment, contemplating what exactly he's going to say now that he's got the chance to say it. It's really something he should have considered BEFORE turning on the journal, but, ah well. Spur of the moment ideas and all that. Finally, he opts to speak up.]

Hey, some of you guys out there use the Battle Dome pretty regularly, right? I was wonderin' if I could borrow some of your training simulations? I had one that was workin' out pretty well for me there for a while, I guess it's gettin' to be too easy for me now. That's probably a sign I need somethin' different now, right? [Another big, happy grin.] So you got any cool ideas?

[He ends the recording there, and sets up a few (poorly done) filters.]

[Filtered to Shuda | 30% unhackable]

Hey Shuda, I was wondering if you could give me some help with my training, too.

[Filtered to Vegeta | 30% unhackable]

Hey, Mr. Vegeta! I got the hang of that thing!

[Filtered to Elie | 30% unhackable]

Hey Elie, umm...

[he cuts off his sentence early on that last one.]

[Haru stands up straight, relaxing his guard--and leaving himself wide open, if Shuda dared take the opportunity.]

I toldja I wasn't slacking on his training.

[When Vegeta launches him into the air, at first, he's full of smiles, a huge grin on his face. He's flying, he's really flying...! He can do it! He can really do it...!]

[...Until he realizes he's not actually flying. He's falling. His grin turns into a look of horror as he crashes towards the ground and leaves a human-sized crater in the earth from the impact.]

[He's Rock Lee, that's what.]

We can move on to the action portion soon! Ah, but it's a shame to slow down when we're moving at such speeds!

[And take the opportunity Shuda will, striking out with a lightning-fast slash aimed at Haru's shoulder. Yeah, Haru is still as predictable as ever when it comes right down to it.]

[As he watches Haru start to fall toward the ground, he shouts-]

Do what I told you, idiot! Use your energy!

[-and then Haru meets the ground with a loud crash. One one hand, there's a small amount of satisfaction to see Haru failing so miserably, but on the other, he's internally facepalming at the attempt. He walks over to the edge of the crater, arms folded, looking down at his 'student'.]

Well, well, what do we have here. Didn't I hear you say this was going to be a piece of cake?

[Action! Maybe there he'll be able to keep up with Lee without feeling he's maxing out every fiber of his being.]

Got it! I'm ready for some action!

[Whoa! Haru manages to dodge out of the way at the last, but not before getting nicked pretty badly by the slash. He reels backward, clutching.]

Couldn't you wait until we were done talkin'?!

[Haru manages to peel himself out of that crater, rising to his feet.]

I guess it's a little harder than that, but... I'll just keep tryin' until I get it!

Do you really think an enemy would wait for you to finish a conversation?

[Haru pls. You're not that naive.]

Yes, you go ahead and keep trying. I'm going to stand back and have myself a good time watching the show.

They always did before.

[And he says that completely seriously. Come on, Shuda, you're a culprit in this too. Just think back to the days when you were enemies.]

Alright, then launch me again! As high into the air as you can!

Then that makes them just as stupid.

[WE DON'T THINK ABOUT THOSE DAYS, HARU.

But Shuda will give Haru a break this time, lowering his own sword slightly as a signal that he isn't going to attack again for the time being.]

But that's the best way to get to know who I'm dealing with. [You'd understand if you were actually present for any of his big battles, Shuda.]

And the best way to get killed if you aren't careful.

[Not that he really has much room to talk given how much conversation went on during his fight with Deep Snow...]

I'm always careful. [He hasn't died yet, right?]

[Just gonna bonk Haru on the head with the flat of his sword here.]

Ow! What was that for?! [fucking rude Shuda.]

[Damn right.]

For not being careful. Improvement means nothing if you still make basic mistakes.

[He just sulks now.]

Okay, okay... Fine.

But you have improved. You're finally thinking before striking, which is more than I could say for you earlier.

[Praise from Shuda! It's all almost worth it.]

Thanks! But I'm far from done in showin' you what I can do!

[Now Shuda can't help but smirk, because it's been far too long since he last had a satisfying spar against a real opponent.]

Then don't just talk about it-- show me.

Right! Then here's something new I've been learning!

[Rather than switching to a different form of the Ten Commandments, or even just charging at Shuda with the form he has now, he instead stays right where he is and tenses up his free arm, energy flowing into it and gather into a visible form.]
