Opaleye Assault IV

"Cool" Kale nodded, he looked at the bat in Bruin's hand. He felt like jumping up and down while doing back handspring's "This should be an experience. I haven't really played much quidditch here. My cousins and I would play a bit at my grandfathers farm...it's not going to be anything like this though." Kale looked up at the goals high in the sky. "Not like at home at all.." he muttered.

Kale let out a small laugh when Estrella brought up the death eaters situation, "Yeah, death eaters.." he shook he head, unable to keep the thought of how crazy her father was out of his mind.
 
Bruin tossed his Beater's Bat to Kale lightly and smile. "Alright then Kale...batter up!!!" Bruin paused and then headed over to the equipment shed and returned with a bag of old quaffles. "Alright, let's start with these. You start doing laps and Estrella and I will try and hit you, Sam or Lily with the quaffles. Your job is to defend yourself and your teammates. Got it?"
 
Estrella grabbed a few Quaffles, and jumped onto her broom, taking off and grinning wickedly at Kale. "You ready?"
 
Kale caught the bat when Bruin tossed it to him and observed it for a moment. At Bruins request, Kale picked up his Sienna Storm that was resting against the broom shed.

"Alright then.." he mounted his broom and got a hold of the bat, shooting up into the pitch Kale began to take a lap around the arena.
 
Bruin took two quaffles and mounted his broom, launching himself into the air after Estrella and Kale, firing a quaffle at Kale's backside as he did so. "Incoming!!!", he yelled, in case Kale wasn't paying attention.
 
Estrella shot straight up in the air, hovering over Kale to attack him from above. "Watch out!" she bellowed, chucking a quaffle at him and hoping that he was paying attention, grinning evilly.
 
Trying to stay aware of his surroundings Kale kept his guard up. At the sound of Bruin's voice from behind him, he maneuvered his broom and brought his bat up to hit the oncoming quaffle. He let out a loud grunt unaware of where he hit Bruin's quaffle to. Kale then heard another warning which caught him by surprise when Estrella came up from over him, he did a twirl motion with his broom and nearly dropped the bat. "Crap!" he yelled just missing the incoming quaffle. Kale managed to just barely get away from the quaffle that Estrella had thrown, and went into another lap around the pitch.
 
Estrella followed overhead silently, and then tossed another quaffle at him. Most of the time, no one would be screaming that a bludger was coming his way, so it was a good strategy for training, or as she supposed, anyways.
 
Kale was in the middle of his second lap when Estrella threw her second quaffle at him. Fully unexpecting it coming overhead, he was still waiting for someone to yell a warning of some sort...since they both had the first time. Suddenly the quaffle came toward him in full force hitting his shoulder WHAP! At the blow to his shoulder he cursed loudly and dropped the bat, Kale grabbed a hold of his broom with both hands and turned it around, "...wasn't expecting that one.." he muttered while looking at Estrella.
 
Estrella laughed. "It's okay! I'm just being sneaky. The other teams' beaters will be worse than me, I assure you."

Throwing another quaffle at him as she was still speaking, she hoped that he would see it and hit it with the bat.
 
Nodding at Estrella, Kale let out a laugh "I guess you're right.." he said looking at the quaffle. As Estrella threw another quaffle in Kale's direction his eyes widened, "Didn't you see me drop me bat?!" he said about three octavies higher than his usual voice. He managed to dodge the incoming quaffle by swooping down to the ground and grabbing the bat without even having his feet touch the green grass of the pitch.

Now Kale really had his guard up, since Bruin had been quiet longer then usual.
 
Bruin nodded off unexpectantly as he did on occasion, and almost flew straight into the hoops. I really should get that checked out, he thought to himself... Once he regained his balance and sense of surroundings, he quickly turned back towards Kale and fired a high, hard one at the young Slytherin. "Here's a little sweet chin music for you!!!", Bruin yelled demonically as he made a bee-line for Kale, trying to throw another curve at him.
 
"Oops, sorry," Estrella laughed, and chucked yet another quaffle at him, laughing evilly.
 
These two are really serious about this training thing...! Kale thought to himself as he saw Bruin's quaffle flying maniacally toward him, getting a good grip of his bat he hit the quaffle long and hard. "How is this for chin music!" he yelled as he watched the quaffle soar through the hoop. A mischevious smile danced on the sides of his lips as he watched Estrella's quaffle coming toward him as well...hitting it in Estrella's direction, "Watch out!" he cackled villianly.
 
Estrella easily caught the quaffle, grinning wickedly. "Now you're asking for it," she laughed, "Keeper, remember?" She veered her broom around him quickly, hurtling it towards Kale's side.
 
"Oh! That's right..keeper!" he yelled sarcastically while trying his best to get away from her. "Nice try, maybe next time." he sticked his tongue out at Estrella and laughed evilly. Kale took another lap around the pitch, not looking back if she was following him or not.
 
Sam swooped down, trying a small roll on her way to get more of a feeling for the broom. No one had tried to catch her, which was perfectly alright with her. She pretended to loose control over the broom, and she bumped into Kale's side. She gave him a mock surprised look, clapping two hands on either cheek as her mouth fell into a perfect, comical 'O.'
 
Estrella followed Kale, grinning maniacally. "BOMBS AWAY!" she bellowed, and threw a slew of Quaffles at him.
 
While in pursuit with Estrella, Kale was going very fast...much faster than usual. As Samantha came soaring to his side he wasn't expecting it all and spun around in a total 360. As soon as he knew it, quaffles were pelting his body and he was cursing like his Grandfather. "I think you guys are going to kill me before first practice is over!!" he yelled toward the three. Getting a grip of the bat and his broom he was beginning to get more frustrated, "I really am going to learn how to keep my gaurd up.." he muttered to himself, looking around the picth.
 
Estrella laughed at Kale's language; under pressing situations, she talked like a sailor also. He seemed to be having trouble, however, so she let up for a bit. "You're doing good, Kale!" she encouraged cheerily, grinning.
 
Bruin decided that Kale was doing a fine job at defending himself, especially considering that it was his first time with the Beater's Bat and he was breaking in a new broom. Samantha also appeared to be fitting in just fine, the Opaleye Assault were bound to become legends for their good looks and great sense of humour. Bruin smiled, this experiment with adding some new blood was going to work out just fine. He also figured it was time to even things out a little and tossed a quaffle at Estrella, not sure if he would catch it or if Kale would intercept it and slug it with his bat.
 
Zoe rushed down to the quidditch pitch with her Scarlet Streak, and immediatly mounted her broom and flew to Bruin to apologize, "I'm so sorry, to everyone. I was so caught up with all my work, I totally forgot about the practise!" She said with a serious look on her face, hoping they could forgive her.
 
Estrella caught the Quaffle with ease, smiling broadly at Zoe. "Hey, Zoe! Haven't seen you in a while."
 
Sam released a great, goofy, crooked grin to Zoe, and then quickly dove down, picking up a Quaffle from the ground. Zooming upwards, she faced Kale, and gave him a michievious smile, one that mirrored the troublesome and slightly evil glimmer in her eyes. "You ready?" she called, tossing the red ball up and down in her right hand. Without waiting for a response, she shot forward, and, seemingly aiming for the left hoof, she did a fake from behind her back, and the Quaffle went zooming towards the right one. She swerved to avoid the tall hoops, and went behind them, waiting to see if she got the Quaffle through or not.
 
Kale was beginning to have very high hopes for the team and a positive attitude to match it. After that hard 'warm up' he was beginning to break a sweat in the chilly air. Wiping a drop of sweat from his brow, he stopped his broom and took a quick breather, "Hi Zoe" he nodded as she noticed her walk up a bit later than the others.

When Bruin threw the quaffle toward Estrella a silly grin formed on his face and before he had the chance to whip out the beaters bat and wallop it fiercely...Strella caught it. "Daaaamn.." he murmmered with a sour face.

Kale watched Sam as she strategically got the quaffle through the hoop, "Show off!" he yelled sarcastically with a smile and a wink.
