Welcome to Gaia! ::

Talus would quietly enter the arena, not using anything flashy to hype up the audience. He just walked in. He would show what he could actually do later on in this match.. He wanted to have some fun. He hadn't had a good opponent in so very long and he didn't want to wait any longer. He hoped this man was worth the wait.

Talus would smirk and shake his head. "Nope.. Nothin' to say." He would state. He would open his mouth and breathe outward, a stream of white mist being expelled from his mouth. The temperature would noticably drop to minus fifteen degrees celcius. The arena would begin to frost over. Soon, the whole arena would be covered in ice. Not the type of ice that can be melted with fire or broken with brute focre either. This ice was special. It dissolved or broke when Talus wished it so. He would raise his right arm toward the man and he would open his hand, the surface of his palm facing the man. He would keep his fingers held together for now. After a split second, a wave of ice shot outward from the palm of Talus. The ice would have an effect on the man known as Ianex for if he took the time to look down, he would notice that a layer of ice had encased his feet. This ice was weak enough to be broken, but it would take some time. It would automatically break within five seconds of the man's presence in that one spot. The wave of ice would be at the man in seven, leaving him with two seconds to properly counter. The wave was about two metres wide and as high as a ruler. It would be aimmed for the chest of the man. If it contacted with the man, It would freeze his torso, moving from front to back, ultimately freezing his heart and killing him. If this was the case and the man had died, Talus would dash forward, sending an uppercut with his left hand toward the man, knocking his head off of his neck and leaving it to fall somewhere within the arena. Regardless of if the man died or not though, Talus would immediately dash forward, moving at an astounding speed of 475mph. He would keep his gauntlet focused on the man. He would barrel roll to the right afterward and jump into the air. He would close his palm and clinch his fist because by that time, the wave had already been shot and he didn't want to waste time by keeping a needless wave held. He would punch his fists together and click his heels. Out of his gauntlets, a massive flame would erupt from them both. The flames would engulf the gauntlets. He would throw two punches toward the man. One to his head and one to his chest. His legs had greaves upon them, but when he clicked his heels, they were consumed with electricity. He would kick with his right leg, sending a small wave of electricity, about the width of a ruler, doubled by two toward the man. He would aim that toward his legs. The flames would burn him severely if they hit him and if one managed to hit the area of his chest where the heart was, it would end up boiling his blood. In the rare event that he was frozen aswell, the heat would move to the heart and with the sudden mixture of heat and cold, his heart would explode. The wave of electricity would stun the limb that it was aimmed to if it hit. Since they were his legs, they would stop him from moving.

Talus had already been airborne within three seconds of the wave. Instead of letting himself fall to the ground, he would point his gauntlet to the ground once more and Shoot another wave of ice. This one wasn't headed toward the ground though. It was placed just below him and it would enable him to stay airborne. He would make different floors on the arena, the ground level beign the floor and the roof being seven feet away from the boundries of the arena. He was six feet, so if he placed himself up there, he wouldn't be able to jump. There were three floors in between the ground floor and the roof. This would help Talus move around much more. it would also give him control of the arena. Since the swallow would now be frozen from the massive energy of Talus' ice capabilities, Ianex would have little possibility of escaping this iced building Tal had created. He would be on the first floor at that time. He would close his gauntlet, seeing that his work was done. Using his gift of Biokinesis, he would alter the properties in the ice to make each sicle razor sharp and with his ability of telekinesis, he would break each one off, sending them downward from the ground floor roof toward Ianex. They were covering the roof, leaving mouse sized gaps between and the ramp to head upward was in the middle of the arena. He would have to move fast if he wanted to escape this. Talus would smirk as he had mide this his own winter wonderland.

Talus would smirk and spin on his heels to the left, avoiding both attacks. "Look at your feet." He would say. The thing about all the ice that Talus used was that anything it contacted with would freeze, just like the mist that expelled from his mouth. He was very lucky that his back wasn't hit deeper or esle that would have frozen his spinal cord, killing him. Since his legs were left inactive when he reached Tal, he would duck and sweep his leg from right to left. It would be in this man's best interest to fly or else Tal would shatter the legs of this man. He would most likely be screaming in pain, leaving Tal with the time to speed up to he third floor and create more of the sicles. Regardless if the leg connected or not, Tal would be upstairs, his next arsenal being rained down on the man.He would point his gauntlet to the ground and reinforce the ice again to make sure that he couldn't burst through it anymore. And since his ice couldn't be affected by fire[Stated in first post], Ianex would have to run, or fly up the stairs to avoid being impaled by the ice shards and dying. The ice freezes whatever it has contact with, depending on how badly the contact was. If it was a little bit of contact, like the hit with the back, it would freeze the area a bit, causing numbness. Since that was such a tender area, this would put him at a great disadvantage as his senses would be dullened as would his reaction time be since the spinal cord is the center of the nervous system. If the contact was major, like the sicles that flew into his legs, they would completely freeze the area. "Elements don't matter if one doesn't affect the other!" He would call out and laugh. He would stay by the corner of the floor since the man couldn't break through the floors anymore. If he did, the sicles would penetrate his head and move into his brain, killing him. He had learned from past mistakes. He would leave tiny little sicles at the tops. They would stay there even when the bigger sicles fell. This was a life or death situation for Ianex. Either make it out of the second floor and live, or die down there. Talus pretty much had Ianex on the ropes as he had full control over the arena.

Talus would smirk as he saw the arrows speeding toward him. He had nothing to worry about because he had a plan. A great plan indeed. He would duck and punch the ground, breaking the ice. He could do this since he was in full control of it. He would then lift both of his gauntlets and send a stream of ice to the broken holes, reinforcing everywhere with ice. He would make sure that the man couldn't get through this time. Since the building took up the whole stadium, Talus decided to be an a*****e in the situation. He would use his skill of biokinesis to make sicles on the ground and the left/right walls of the third floor where Ianex was. Since that was the last floor, he would make the sicles fly upward, left and right. Ianex would have to fly upward if he wanted to live. If he flew upward though, he would be caught in a Ring - Out. Talus would then let the flames engulf his arms once more. He would punch holes down to the ground floor. He would then expell his flames, reinforcing all of the broken areas with ice once more. He was on the ground floor while Ianex was at the top of the building, caught in a virtual death trap. Sink Or Swim was the case, yet there was little possibility of him surviving if he tried to swim. The ice couldn't break anymore and it was coming at him every angle except for up. And once again, if he went up, he would be caught in a Ring - Out. Talus would chuckle and wait in the corner top right corner of the ground floor. To make things worse, Talus would then get a simply marvelous idea. He would try and force the man to Ring - Out. He would use his ability of telekinesis to lift the third floor, making Ianex have to fly upward to avoid being impaled and crushed at the same time. If Ianex managed to escape this, Talus would have to give some respect to the man because then, it would be deserved. Talus' rule was to give nobody respect until they earn it in his eyes. And Ianex would get a lot of respect if he managed to avoid this.

Talus would notice that something was behind him.. Oddly enough though... He was in a corner, so the figure must have been outside. If it was outside, it would be in a Ring - Out. Since Ianex would already be eliminated, Talus would decide to seal the deal. He would duck and pull his legs to his chest. He would then push off of the wall, straightening his legs in the process, and speed toward the other side, dodging the slash. He would do this sequence of movements so fast that it would leave an after-image of him. It would possibly leave Ianex to think that he had actually hit Talus, but he hadn't. He would have his hands out in front of his head so he wouldn't suffer any damages. Once he pushed off with his hands though, he would arch his back so his head was facing upward. He performed this action so speedily though, that he would backflip and land on his feet. He had just dodged Ianex's last move. This time, Talus would make sure that Ianex couldn't pull anything out of his a**. He would lift his gauntlet to the wall and expell a beam of ice. It would strengthen the wall and make sure that there was no way for Ianex to make it back in. He would do this with every wall on the floor. Since there was no second floor anymore, He would have iced the whole building. He would then jump into the air and curl himself into a ball. An amazing show of mental and physical strength would keep him suspended five feet above the ground, still curled into a ball. He would rapidly release himself from the ball though, taking the shape of a star with his body. All of his limbs were streched out fully. Once he did this, The whole wall would push outward. It would keep the demolished floor above him at bay though, his mental strength acting as a barrier. This would push Ianex outward even moreso, since he would have to be pressed against the outside of the buildings to slash his blade, and send him speeding toward the walls. Ring - Out. Talus would then release the masive show of strength, moving downward to the ground slowly, landing on his feet. He would use the gauntlets to create an entirely new building though, just in case. He knew that was the real Ianex. The only way he could be behind him was to be outside, since he was in a corner. The building took up the width of the arena and the height save one foot. Talus was pretty sure he had won becuase Ianex would be out there, flying toward a wall and Talus would be in here, safely consumed by his ice building. Not in the form of dodging, eh?

Talus would feel the kodachi's thrust into him, but he would know what to do immediately. He would first pull the blades from his back. He would then use his ability of Biokinesis to mend the wounds. He would use it to multiply the blood cells and skin cells, repairing the skin and restoring lost blood. He would feel a slight sting every now and again, but he was now in no danger. Since the man would be against the outer wall of the arena, Talus would make sure he was gone. He would duck and pull his legs to his chest. He would then push off of the wall, straightening his legs in the process, and speed toward the other side. He would do this sequence of movements so fast that it would leave an after-image of him. He would leave his hands out in front of his head to avoid further damage. Once he pushed off with his hands though, he would arch his back so his head was facing upward. He performed this action so speedily though, that he would backflip and land on his feet. This time, Talus would make sure that Ianex couldn't pull anything out of his a**.
