[ The feed begins with Natsu slamming his fist into the wall -- the plaster cracking and crumbling beneath it. Hell. It probably provides a view into Lucy's apartment now. But he doesn't seem to care, dislodging his fist and keeping his gaze away from the mirror. ]

All of these people, taken right under our noses -- and there wasn't a goddamn thing we could do to stop it. [ His words are calm but dangerous, and after narrowing his eyes on something unseen, he finally casts a glance at the communicator. ]

I need a weapon. I'm going to rescue her -- rescue ALL of 'em! And if a weapon's the only goddamn way to unlock your fighting potential in this world, I need one for this mission 'cause I ain't sittin' back and lettin' anything happen again! I'm used to usin' fire, but I don't give a shit what kinda weapon you are. We'll work it out in the training area before we leave. If we got the same resolve, 'm sure we can overcome everything -- even resonance.

[ He pauses, lingering in silence. A look of determination slowly takes place on his features when he speaks again. ]

That BREW thing made me a meister for a reason, and even though I'd wanted to be a weapon from the start -- I'll step up and embrace what I am here, what you guys made me, and fight with everything I got to keep those important people safe. That's the kind of thing you can expect of a mage from Fairy Tail!

.....there's somethin' forebodin' about those words, Erza.

[ He mutters more to himself than anything. But considering his options are train until he dies or get killed by Lucy for putting a hole in her wall, he doesn't have much of a choice. ]

You're right, though. There ain't a whole lotta time. And if we can help figure out my meister ability while we're at it, then we'll be even better off. Been tryin' to unlock it, and after I talked to Quirky [ he means Qilby ] I came to the thought that maybe I can only use it with a weapon. It's worth giving a shot.

That would certainly be useful. Any edge would be welcomed - if they can kidnap a god, these foes of ours are bound to be powerful. [Even if she's not a... oh, never mind.] But regardless of what they can do, we'll find a way to overcome them!

((OoC: Want to skip to them arriving at the training field, or should they talk for a bit longer?))

You bet! Heh, I'm all fired up!

[ And it doesn't take too long before they arrive at the slightly-damaged field. At least most of the targets and training dummies are destroyed and debris litters the field itself from the battle, but it's still plenty of space. ]

Okay...so sword. You just use it like this, right? [ He puts one closed fist over the other, and makes a downward swing -- looking more like he's using a hammer. ]

And s'long as you smack the enemy on the head with it, you're good, yeah?

That's... [She sighs. This is going to be a long day.] If you're dealing with something small, maybe - with a person, you'd be better off aiming for their chest. And swing it diagonally - if you only swing downwards, then your enemy will always know where to block. [To demonstrate, she acts as though she's holding a sword and swings her arm at about chest level.]

So...unpredictable, huh? Got it!

[ Natsu goes over to wrench out a practice sword that's surprisingly not splintered or broken from the battle damage. He moves over to the remains of a dummy and goes into a series of attacks -- from chopping like an axe to swinging like a baseball bat to twirling like a baton. He turns to Erza -- hopeful that his AWESOME TECHNIQUES have impressed her. ]

Somethin' like that should do it, right?
