As the dust from the blast cleared Shadow stood seemingly stunned for a moment. After several long seconds chips of what appeared to be skin and flesh fell from his body revealing that he had used his earth magic to make a very dense layer of carbon over his actual skin. The layer was thin however and could not stop the actual shock of the blast from hitting him. He was slightly disoriented and as he looked around the carbon shell fell apart becoming dust that was carried away by the wind or fell to the ground. His eyes focused slowly as he said softly. I really should have accounted for that. He staggered backwards slightly while shaking his head and looked around as his ears continued to ring.

Of course. Now, is there anything else bothering you?
*Capitalizing on the oppurtunity, one sword bot and two hand combat drones dart towards the man. As they come within a few meters of him, the two hand bots jump to each of Shadow's sides then right at him, their fists heading toward his sides in a crushing, pincer fashion. At the same time, the sword bot slashes erratically in order to try and makes Shadow jump into the path of the spiked fists*

Shadow's normal senses may have been hampered from the blast but the same cells that allowed him to release charges of electricity also created a steady low intensity field of electricity for a couple yards around him. As the bots moved into it Shadow's body reacted by jumping backwards rapidly by pushing off of each foot separately and allowing the other to drag lightly over the ground as he did. Shadow smiled to himself as the body began to do what he most needed from this testing. His entire purpose was to begin forming reflexes and remembered physical behaviors. Shadow worked frantically to return his normal senses to their usual capacity as he moved. For the moment he would dodge and see how the speed of the body worked with the electrical based sense.

*The bots stay back for a moment, calculating a tactic. One of the fist bots moves forward, then the sword bot jumps on top of the first. The first uses its hands to launch the sword bot into the air and into darker viewpoint in the sky. As this happened, the sword is throw like a frisbee diagonally at Shadow's head, more or less forcing him to move forward or to the sides and forward a bit. The second fist bot had now launched the first in a spinning "rocket fist" like motion toward Shadow*

Shadow saw the sword moving rapidly towards his head and also saw an opportunity to take out another bot. He stopped his backwards movement by jumping towards the blade moving at him. and blocking it with the blade on the back of his right arm. As the blade hit his arm however it broke the bone he had intended to block with and cut into his arm. As it severed muscle Shadow moved his arm against it so that the thicker bone of his radius knocked it off course and towards the ground. Six pairs of wings burst from Shadow's back as he reached the peak of his jump and with several flaps he increased his rate of ascent towards the bot that had thrown the sword. He intended to rise above it and dive into it, to knock it off balance before pulling up once more into the air.

Yes.... I suppose you could say that neutral *He's a little perplexed by her smile*.... something you find amusing? *He said lightheartedly*
*indeed the bot was shot to the ground and smacked it hard, sitting up but unable to move. The remaining two fist bots look up and can't do much but wait, they didn't stand much of a chance against an airborne opponent*

Well, it's just that I haven't seen you for an entire day... you said so yourself. It's just always nice to see you.
*She smiles warmly*

Shadow smiled slightly as he looked down at the bots and nodded to himself. He had planned the design of this body better than he had expected. It wasn't quite the ideal form yet however. Suddenly he felt blind on his right side as the electrical field on the that side of his body faded. Random currents of electricity also pulsed up his arm and caused the muscles of his back and wings to spasm. He sent an amused thought to Mastema as he fell towards the ground. It appears that I didn't take into consideration some of the side effects one of my modifications would have should the cells be damaged. Thank you for this test it has been most insightful. I shall however have to leave so that I may correct this error. As Shadow's body reached the ground instead of the painful impact one that didn't know him would expect he instead seemed to melt into the ground. He shifted himself rapidly towards his labyrinth as the arm continued to discharge at random.

*Nana could see Mastema was thrown off; it was cute. However, she decided to change the subject for his benefit*
You.. were going to go check in on Thanatos too weren't you?
*Almost as soon as she finishes her sentance, a loud hollow sounding stomach grumble is heard*
o///o
Ah...
--///--
I...
*Her words trail off*
