Volk had been keeping busy as the days went by. Before he knew it two weeks had already passed since he was told of the trials set forth by the Elders of the Darkwood pack. He had kept taining his body every other day and then would follow up by solving random puzzles he would think up whether it be making to identically tall piles of rocks using different sized stones to make each one or figuring out some way to divert water along a new path to create an offshooting branch.
All the while he built is mind and muscle he never left the waterfall as it was the easiest to train around. He even found himself climbing up the waterfall as the water fell down on him. This was one of the days he decided to scale it and found himself at the top sporting a new record in climbing time.
"Well looks like from now on I can only perform conditioning to keep my body in this powerful state. I guess this should work for whatever trials the Darkwood Elders have in store for me", he said looking down the river below noting that this area perfectly suplemented who he was.

"I don't believe we've met before..." A particular cyborg being intoned, drawing Volk's attention to the armor clad figure of Kyokan.
The Eva stared intently at Volk, wondering why the hell he was here. While he wasn't exactly miffed over seeing the other person, the Eva was erring to the side of caution, given the last encounter he had with the locals.

Volk didn't bother with diverting his gaze when he heard this being speak to him. He merely nodded and gave a response.
"You would be correct about that. Though by what I can smell from you, you don't exactly have a wonderful history with my kind. Is there something you need help with", he states in stale manner displaying his distaste for the mild interruption.
He stood at the edge of the falls waiting for an answer wanting to limit his interaction with whoever he was talking with and get back to his training.

"Yeah... they were really pissed when I dropped in to stop a senseless murder. Had to fend off most of them in a fight..." Kyokan replied.
The Eva then scratched the back of his helm. "I'm sure they'd try to kill me on sight if we ever met again... that one elder, Zahn I believe was his name, was more pissed then the rest of them. I don't want any trouble, but I'll defend myself if I have to."
Kyokan mentally sighed, then continued to stare at Volk.
"Anyways, what brings you here?"

Volk remained in his place taking in the story of the armored being behind him.
"Well I'm here readying myself for a trial. I don't exactly condone thee way many elders work no matter the pack. So I'm currently working up to the point of having a place to stay safely until I can take out the elders from the pack I left behind", he mused.
He finally turned to face the being behind him and saw it was covered in silver plates. He took a defensive stance upon the sight of the beings armor knowing full well that one mistake with such a material present could end his life.

"I see we have similar views, seeing as I fully disagreed with the elders of the pack... the idiots refused to try and take another root. While its rather hypocritical coming from me, a being made for war, death is not the only answer... those elders wouldn't see that though..."
The Eva sighed to himself, then noticed Volk's stance, and realized quickly that it was his armor's coloration that was causing such a reaction. He decided not to comment on this, incase things turned sour and a fight broke out for one reason or another.

It was then that Volk leapt backwards off the falls giving a slow and exaggerated flip landing in the water below. He picked up a large boulder using his Gauru form and hurled it at silver being above.
"You've got a lot of nerve approaching lycans wearing silver like that. No wonder they tried to rip you apart", he snarled.
Not wanting to let his opponent have easy access to his body he jumped up several stories into the trees and waited for the silver one to respond.

Kyokan merely caught the boulder that was hurled at him, and tossed it aside, drawing his Progressive Knife. Now he was glad he had withheld that bit of information, but why it was a good idea boggled his mind.
"What IS it with you guys and silver!?" Kyokan asked incredilously, his tone conveying both his annoyance and curiousity.
Kyokan jumped into the trees, landing on a much lower branch and jumping further up, finally coming to Volk's level, knife held before him and humming dangerously.
"As much as I'd rather avoid conflict, it seems that's not an option anymore." the Eva mused to himself, before lunging at Volk. The Eva swung his knife, but Volk skillfully dodged before it hit him. The branch he was standing on wasn't so lucky, it was severed from the tree instantly, leaving Kyokan to cling to the trunk. This didn't bother the Eva, as he quickly leaped off and onto another branch.
As soon as he landed though, he jumped again, this time catching Volk's shoulder with his knife, shredding the flesh with frightening ease.

Volk quickly turned himself im the air landing on a branch below and shot towards a branch that Kyokan was about to land on he grabbed the branch and swung upwards kicking Kyokan in the gut knocking him out into the open space above the river. Volk quickly launched himself from the branch and clasped his hands together bringing them down onto Kyokan's helm sending him flying to the ground and impacted him in the bank by dropping on top of him with his full weight and momentum before sprining off him and to a low lying branch.
"Apparently you know very little about Lycans Silver One. Though that name may not fit you since you really aren't made of silver at all. Even a slight amount of this substance is fatal to a lycan so from natural reflex we become defensive at seeing your armor based on its coloration", he hissed at the being below.

"Well now I know why you guys freak when you first see me..." Kyokan snarled, prepping his AT Field so that he could guard against Volk's next attack. The Eva jumped, slamming against the trunk of the tree Volk was currently in, shaking. Kyokan jumped again, hitting another tree, before jumping onto the branch Volk was standing on, causing it to creak from the weight. Progressive knife still in hand, Kyokan charged at Volk, missing the first slash, the cutting into the lycan's chest.
"But don't think that because I don't have any silver on me that I'll lose easily!" the Eva roared, grabbing Volk by the muzzle and quickly tugging the lycan off balance, before spin kicking Volk into the trunk of another tree.

Volk pried himself from the tree and dropped into the waters below. He remained there for a minute out of sight as he allowed his regen to kick in. Once he finished he began to freeze the water around him building his ice armor but modified it this time so that when anything would come into contact with it it would be torn up the longer it was in touch.
A large ball of ice shot from the water and snapped the branch Kyokan landed on sending to the water of the river. Volk had rapidly cooled the waters by using his Aspect while submersed within them. As he neared the point where Kyokan lay the popped as it crept closer and closer to the Eva eventually reaching his body. The ice started to encase the body and slow the movements of the silver foe.
Volk leapt over the top of the titan and launched two ice balls at him below one shadowing the other.

The two spheres merely slammed against Kyokan's AT Field, causing the Eva to grunt and turn towards Volk.
"Now that just isn't fair..." Kyokan complained as he noted the fact that he was slowed down by the ice that Volk had generated.
'What I wouldn't give for a gun right about now...' he thought angrily, backing away from Volk as he tried to break out of the ice, knowing it was suicide to try to keep fighting like this.

Volk loosed a loud unnerving howl and charged at Kyokan not wanting to give him the chance to remove the ice from his body. He rammed his shoulder into the AT Field multiple times knocking the Eva off balance into the water. Volk pounced and was attempting to pin him in the water as he continued to build the natural ice upon the Eva's body focusing on the joints like the knees and elbows forcing him into a fixed position.
"You may be able to avoid my physical contact but the ever encroaching ice shall swallow you should you choose not to concede here and now", he said snarling at the Silver One.
Volk remained in place putting all his weight against the Eva under the water. His icy grey eyes remained locked on the Eva with the intent to kill shining brightly and making his purpose clear should the Eva not concede.

'damn it... this is a crappy way to die...' Kyokan thought as his body's organic components started to shut down from the cold. The Eva's eyes slowly drifted 'closed' as death seemed to descend upon him...
However, it was not to be, Kyokan's eyes snapped back open, red with rage as he suddenly broke Volk's grip, shattering the ice on his left arm as well as punched the lycan's face, the force of the punch launching him into another tree, creating an indentation of Volk's body on it.
The now berserked Kyokan surged from the river, shattering the remaining ice on his body and granting free movement, as the jaw restraints shattered and the Eva let loose a blood curdling roar. Taking a bestial stance, Kyokan snarled at Volk and charged at the lycan, roaring again.

Volk smirked as he released himself from the tree. Not one to be outdone he roared back and rushed at the advancing Eva. As he closed within striking distance he shot under the water extending his gauntlet claws and raking them across the Eva legs building up ice again tripping him into the water.
He grasped the Eva's helm and hurled him towards the falls knowing that he could easily take advantage of the environment there and limit the Silver being's actions in the process.
"So this is what rocked the Darkwood pack that long night ago. Was wondering if I'd ever come across this creature and as it turns out it stumbled upon me. This should make an nice presentation to the Elders", he mused lowly to himself.
He closed on the Eva wanting to keep him cornered in an environment he new better than any other did. He waited a few yards from the falls waiting for his foe to leap out not wanting to risk nonvisual contact.
