Oblivionic stands in the center of the arena, facing the entrance gate for whoever to enter.  

[Tacitus]

A singular location throughout the whole of the greater realm of Gaia began to bend in upon itself, small arcs of brilliant organe and green flowing to and fro. An attempt to extinguish the anomaly of light and energy would prove to be an excersize in futility, the disturbance not one of planar or psionic effect, passing beyond the realms of magic and might of mortal men. The very effect seemed to not exist as but a visual effect, dialated through the barriers of time and space, out of sync with any force that one would try and enforce upon it, a phase shift enacted to keep the projection within this realm of existance. Shifting and contorting the whole would be drawn back into infinity as a corridor of light and energy within this realm.

A singular being composed of a triad of lesser beings would make his pressense known deep within the corridor, hidden from direct line of sight. He only seemed to exist in the slightest degree, the very chains that held him to reality straining to keep him as a being known as a Gaian emplaced by his own will. Without such his very being would slip from the confines of space back into the singular realm of time. He seemed as a construct of verdant alloys and captured flame in the shape of a demon more than a man, the contructed armor that was the key to his greater existance constantly part of his being. An extension of his conviction and another of his anger became apparent as his form was released from the distortion, secured as a wristguard as a component of the armor which seemed to meld with his flesh. His focus behind the guise of armor was to complete a mere training excercize, to sharpen his skills for the missions to come. The corridor collapsed into upon itself to be little more than a ring that leaped to join around his right ring finger as his hand rose. A series of oscilations would come to pass as a greeting was extended to the subject that was to be his opponent.

The Fated came in through a wormhole wearing spiffy green and orange armor with weapons attatched to the back of his wrists. Once he arrived, he waved at Oblivionic.  

[Oblivionic]

The android raises his right hand, index finger extended, and points at the new-comer. A loud boom-click sounds off from his mouth, indicating a switch to a built-in megaphone. It/he yells across the arena, stating his claim:
"If ye be an aggessor, an opponent, make the first move!"
With that done, he returns to a 'stand-by' position, appearing at ease. An inaudible click means his vocabulator has returned to it's normal functioning volume.  

[Tacitus]

The armor bends and contorts around his face, the second skin drawing up into a smile as he looked over his oppnent. As his hand fell once more it met with the left forearm, a panel sliding back as he depressed a glowing sigil. A pulse of orange light flared outward from his body, a Temporal Scan, the effects of which would slowly become apparent over time. The main purpose was much like a Faerie Fire spell, illuminating the android to his shaded eyes in a way that would disallow the beast from hiding in any way. The drawback was that The Fated would also be entirely visible, for the time being.

This fluid motion of dropping his hand shifted and continued, rising up once more in a wide gesture. A burst of sound pulsed from the man as a series of gunshots rang out. The weapon upon his wrist had fired, but the bullets seemed to be suspended in midair before Tacitus. In truth, they were moving slowly, far too slow to do any real damage. A second wave created another similar arc as Tac's body began to blur from the speed that began to infuse his form.  

[Oblivionic]

Oblivionic stands there. As of yet, an actual attack has to be made. The energy within him begins to accelerate and convert into the useable mana he requires.  

[Tacitus]

All at once a surge of temporal energies seemed to suffuse the surrounding landscale as a rain of orange rosepetals began to dance about him. The two waves of bullets thrown in an X formation at Oblivionic are released from their slowed state. Though, not only are they released to normal, they are thrust into a haste, each one putting a guass projectile to shame. A methodical chant began as Tac danced among the rosepetals, his limbs blurring into a continuous line as his speed continued to skyrocket. At this point a ki based fighter would be pressed to match his speed, much less exceed it.  

[Oblivionic]

The artificial mind calculates the trajectories just fine, being fully capable of visually registering such occurences. To seem badass, he moves into a neo bullet dodge. The bullets should fly just over him, and outside his knees as he performs a bullet-time manuver.  

[Tacitus]

As Tac began forward in a burst of speed he seemed to match the bullets themselves, a flurry of rose petals dancing up around his feet with each step. Similar depictions were left in his wake as he tore across the coliseum arena, his body rending the air in two with a viscious thunderclap coming behind him, the vaccuum only growing. From his wrists two long blades sprouted forth, right right tinted green and the left tinted orange. The right was indestructablefor most purposes and the left was sharp indeed, but its cutting power came from the way it cut, stopping the point it hits in time for a brief moment and wedging itself between molecules, pressing past afterwards.

A second pulse passed from his body, and the glow around Oblivionic would only increase. An odd occurance would come to pass from this, the temporal scan producing devestating results. It would notonly begin to slow him in time, but begin feeding Tacitus information on power levels, mechanical structure, and other information, which would only grow each time it updated. Following behind the flash Tac was on Oblivionic in mere moments, the right blade held before him while the left was brought down at at angle, crossing Tac's body as he rushed to pass Oblivionic, the blade in position to tear a line up the android's right side.  

[Oblivionic]

... and when the energy about him becomes hostile, he triggers his barrier. This non-existence bubble extending just beyond his physical self should be enough to disrupt Tac's mental influence, magic, time dialation or whatever. So rather than directly effecting him, it effects the space around him. The initial 'burst' of his barrier would 'dissolve' what energy had been placed on him. If any remained within him, it would be cut off from the mental influence, aka will, of Tac, and become dormant energy to only fuel the android's conversion into void.

While practically falling backwards to dodge the bullets, he still manages to keep somewhat of an eye on Tac. Though fast as he is, the android should be able to 'adjust' and reconfigure his anatomy slightly, so that he could become faster. The artificial muscles begin to tighten and become denser, creating a more efficient muscle design. The downside being thinner, and less 'weight' to throw around.

He continues the fall back in preparation to deal with Tac. Oblivionic brings his left arm back, and slams it into the ground blade first. The creats the anchor for the next part as his back arches slightly, 1.5 feet from the ground(approximately knee-level). As Tac comes closer and positions his blade to slide down his right side, he moves the right arm up to intercept. The intended intercept point located on the inner side of his arm-blade, at the vertex of the base connection and the blade's length. If successful, Oblivionic should catch Tac's blade near the hilt, and be dragged back by the momentum. At the same time, the blade's edge would be dullen, the point of edge cancelled from existence upon coming in contact with his 'void bubble' (Barrier of Cancellation). The blade should be below the androids arm, but above the arm-blade.  

[Tacitus]

As long as Oblivionic exists, he has a temporal signature, and as such can be tracked and manipulated. This pulse originated from a point beyond both time and space, a location in which nonexistance became existance. The Genesis Sphere. Unless Oblivionic could destroy that signature, if he was even aware of its existance, he couldn't disrupt the hold Tacitus was emplacing upon him. Such a signature tethers a being to both time and space, Tacitus merely began reading the exchange and adding a weight upon it, causing a certain slugishness in the being's interaction with the timeline.

The main flaw in Oblivionics plan would be noted by the fact that when he began to retreat he would SMACK his metal a** right into a wall. This, however, was no ordinary wall, but the strongest wall ever built, and all by a single thought. An unseen sheet of molecules had been stopped in time, unable to be affected by any force short of direct temporal manipulation, including nonexistance. Once the effect of stopped time was released the molecules might be obliterated or cease existing, but not until then.

All around the man molecules begin to freeze, a cloud about him to lock him in place with just enough space to slip through a blade, but not nearly enough for a body part. By now the rosepetals seem to have faded, as if consumed in the temporal manipulation. Tac's charge stops short of Oblivionic, spinning to slice across the trapped android's midsection. The blades would not be dulled in the slightest, likewise unable to be altered by anything short of direct temporal manipulation until their duration expired, whereby they would crumble to dust. Such effects upon them would surely decrease the duration remaining. However, should Oblivionic escape the cloud of stopped time this swipe would not occur, Tac's path taking him upwards as he bounced off similar stopped sheets of time. In either instance more rosepetals would begin to dance about him.
