Welcome to Gaia! ::

The entrance of The Avatar is simple. As if from an orbiting pwn cannon, a beam of light and energy falls from the sky, tearing into the arena and filling the entire 300ft diameter expanse. The ground is torn to pieces and thrust up in a tumultuous arrangement of crags and upturned rocks with all the dust that had been covering the area turned to glass. When the light faded a single pinpoint remained, the beating heart of a featureless man built of light and energy.

It was not the kunai that the Avatar saw most clearly, but the streams of chakra connecting them to Dante, as well as his own aura increasing the flows of such energy within him. The form of the Avatar quickly darts straight up, no visible cause behind his flight and his ability to stay aloft without movement. His reaction time was not limited by biological restraints and his speed was to the point where reacting to physical assault came almost reflexively. To any normal person it would look as though he were reacting by means of precognition. He made no direct assault in return against Dante, but the arena did seem to be getting brighter.

With a means of vision in all directions, both in the visible light spectrum and of a sort of aura-sight, detecting the motion of the blades was not difficult. Once again the construct moved out of the way, this time going even higher into the air. The brightness continued to grow to the point where seeing across the arena would become difficult, even more so to keen eyes. His two palms directed themselves towards Dante, each unleashing a laser beam style attack at him from within the shroud of bright light.

((Will do.))

The Avatar waited at his current height of seventy five feet above the normal ground level for the arena. His means by which to calculate height and distances was irrelevant, but he was accurate within two feet. The construct did not seem disturbed by the cloud of life based energies suffusing the cloud. In fact, if the kunai still had the streams of chakra still connected to them it would incredibly easy to pinpoint Dante's position. Even if he could not do so he had another way to flush him out, which he would do even if he could find Dante. Both hands clashed in front of the construct with a pulse of energy, temporarily fusing to form one large projection at the end of the two arms. The air screamed as the level of brightness increased and dozens of small orbs began to rain down into the smoke. It was relatively low damage, but spread out over the entire area such that it would not only create a series of explosions to help clear the smoke, but any contact with Dante would act like a tracer to draw in continued blasts. Effectively the Avatar would light him up like a christmas tree for future assaults.

Despite the lack of sunlight the brightness would remain, the light obviously a magically occurance not directly linked to the sun. Though it would be noted that the sun would have made the next few steps a whole helluvalot easier. Though seeing as the Avatar has other problems, he won't get to bring down massive laser pwning blasts from the sky. The first problem is the trees. Not the limitation of mobility, but the fact that he got speared by a branch as they grew up and beyond him. Whether by being impaled or by simply being around, The Avatar would have a rather negative effect on the trees.

That s**t would burn.

The arena would be painted in a hues of blood as the light shifted in the spectrum from white light to red, and beyond. Infrared began heating up the arena as heat from the Avatar's core poured into the surrounding area. Theheat would remain in the area instead of rising away as normal due to the Avatar's control. The trees and swamp would begin to dry out slowly.

Though, this was when the exploding tags errupted around him. Not only would this tear open parts of his "skin" and release much more heat and laser-blast type explosions, but more than likely create enough flame for him to evolve. The problem with that was the space restrictions, which he would have to clear up first. With so much fire everywhere, one would hope Dante would get away from everything flamable, especially because the Avatar was more than likely going to begin throwing fireballs now that he had flame to work with. Unable to create it by simply willing it into existence he had plenty of ways of creating it otherwise, sustaining it, and using it to blow s**t up.

The whole of the arena continued to rise in temperature, the area right around the Avatar beginning to skyrocket as flames wreathed its body. Flames would begin to lick at trees as the heat began to dry them out, forcing transpiration, the process of water vapor leaving plants to the atmosphere directly. Within some trees closer to the Avatar the sap inside might even begin to boil and cause the tree to split open as the Dominion's rage began to focus.

When the needles were thrown they were lit up to the Avatar like beacons in the night. The energy and heat within them seemed to call out to the Avatar, and as such he received them willingly. Due to their increased heat they slid into his body and did not seem to create much effect on the shell that represented the Avatar's body. Once inside they would be subject to temperatures rivalling that of the sun as any non-heat based energy within was drained away. The construct's hand would fling to one side, towards dante, and from within ten blobs of liquid metal would return. If it could speak he'd likely make some witty remark about returning them or something, but seeing as he couldn't speak, who cares?
