Welcome to Gaia! ::

yamick used his speed to rip away from oni "so you can dematerialize for a short time"he said. "then lets use a skill tht just might make you s**t your pants!"he said the he pointed at his feet and lightning struck them when the light had cleared the shoes were completely solid "lets dance........Thunder Tap!" he said and he began to tap dance and his steps became faster and faster with every beat. after a few second oni looks up and a thunder storm had appeared over head then all of a sudden lightning began to strike the ground for every tap yamicks shoes made. As yamick was tapping he was also moving at high speeds around the arena to avoid his own lightning bolts because these were the only forms of lightning that could hurt him off his own attack. he was moving at such a speed he pretty much looked like a blur and the thing that was most anoying to most oppents is the constant clack clack clack of his shoes and the sound of thunder after each lightning strike "have fun with this one if you can dodge this and don't take it lightly no matter what you do if you get stuck by lightning in it's purest form it's still gonna hurt like hell, it may not kill you but it's gonna hurt like living hell" he said and he increased his tap speed even farther so that his feet were just a bunch of blurs and the clack, clack, clack got louder and faster.(5)

tommorow if im on

"Like a living Hell, you say?" Oni asked, just pondering at the irony in this. If Noroi were here, he were surely have a pun for this. Oni realized the perfect strategy for this. Defend a dance, with a dance. In fluid, almost poetic movements, Oni would sidestep, bob and weave his way through the lightning strikes. Some did come far too close for comfort, but Oni made sure to keep a general figure, and did so with his eyes shut. He could sense the heat changing in the air, and could somewhat tell where the next lightning strike would hit. And with the changing breeze, he could tell that Yamick wasn't staying in one spot. It was either to avoid Oni's attacks, which wasn't happening, or to avoid his own. Which means, Yamick's using a two bladed sword here, his own attacks could harm himself. So Oni just needed a way to use the attacks against the user.

And in plotting this, Oni realized he made a grave mistake. He distracted himself for an instant, and miscalculated the next lightning strike, which blasted him right in the back. "Gaa!" Oni shouted, stumbling forward, holding his smothering back. The pain was immense, but a sudden rage engulfed Oni, that he refused to let it affect him. His inner demon didn't like this. His eyes flashed white, erasing the pupil. He snarled, looking around. He couldn't see Yamick, he was moving to fast. But Oni could tell where he was. In an instant, Oni stopped the dance, and stood straight up. He didn't have as powerful a control of Lightning as Yamick did, but he atleast knew the characteristics of Lightning. "Let's see how you like your own medicine," Oni said, drawing the Shadow Blade, and gripping it tightly. He raised the sword in the air, and the following events happened exactly as Oni expected. The metal in his sword attracted the lightning to it exactly like a lightning rod. So all of the electricity poured pure power into the metal, supercharging it, instead of shocking the ground in random places. Oni held the sword high, glad to no end that the handle wasn't metal, thus it didn't conduct electricity. Infact, the cloth wasn't fully electric-proof, but enough to do the job.

"Here," Oni said, waiting for a break in the clouds. He swirled his sword around, and actually used his own abilities of lightning to force the electricty down faster. Once the clouds and sky just didn't have any electricity in them, Oni drew the sword back, as it charged and sparked at an incredible amound. "I believe this is yours," Oni said, looking around but not finding Yamick. So, Oni just made sure to attack everywhere. He swung the sword around at an incredible speed, slashing at all directions, creating a solid dome of energy. Not normal energy, but Yamick's own electricity mixed with Oni's Shadow Energy. (5)

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Oni wasn't moving particularly faster than normal, but he could just see things as they moved, almost like in slow motion. He saw Yamick as he spun, piercing Oni's wave of black energy. "Interesting," Oni said to himself, watching Yamick's strategy closely. Oni didn't expect Yamick to be able to pull it of, but his spinning and Electricity actually repelled a good portion of the attack. But Oni could still tell Yamick felt the pain from both the lightning, the sheer friction of the spinning against the opposing force, and of course, Oni's own Shadow Energy. "Let's see what you do, when you've got nothing to help you," Oni said, watching as Yamick slowly spun into the dome. "When even lightning has reached it's limits. ETERNAL DARKNESS!!!" Oni roared, bracing his body. He stepped outward, keeping his feet far apart, doing what he could to remain standing. And this is why: from his hands, darkness streamed out with the force similar to a real firehose. It was powerful, even for Oni. It rapidly filled the entire area, each and every crevice. Yamick couldn't see a damn thing, but Oni could. He saw through it as if it weren't there. And to demonstrate the thickness of this shadow, Oni held out his hands after the darkness was complete. In one hand, fire erupted brightly, a white hot flame. In the other, a ball of lightning sparked, as bright as it could be. Both of which, only Oni saw. None of Yamick's own Electricity would be visible, let alone Oni as their target.

"Let's see you hit this," Oni said. And while surrounded in darkness, Oni could merely warp to another place at will. He could only travel through shadows, whether it was someone elses, or his own created ones. But shrouded in darkness, it was a simple task. Oni held his Shadow Blade tightly. It didn't have any charge left from the massive attack he released, but that didn't mean it wasn't still strong. A simple repair job with the swirling shadows fixed the metal back to it's glory-condition. Oni was ready to strike, and Yamick wouldn't even see or sence it coming... (6)

Oni could tell Yamick was trying. He may not have been thinking attacks through, which would explain the headfirst attack into the ground, and then the Arena wall. Oni almost felt bad, it's like taking a fish out of water, Yamick was just out of his element. But Oni wouldn't let up. If he did and Yamick got the best of him, it would be a hollowed victory, which wouldn't be right to Yamick.

Oni let out a flash of black energy, the new wave overtaking the old. It was exactly the same color and darkness as the other, but this dark matter didn't conduct electricity. Oni held his blade tightly, holding it next to his face. In his demon form, Oni could influence the power of his Shadow Blade, controlling it's level of energy. And while in this form, Oni did what he commonly did. With a small amount of energy, the blade of the Shadow Blade turn a transparent black color, and held it up much similar to a person holding a baseball bat. "Let's do this," He said, gripping the handle tighly. Now his sword was so sharp, there was no limit to what it could cut. It was so sharp, it would cut through things without leaving a mark. It could cut someone without physically injuring them, but actually slicing their soul in half. And the second Yamick was close enough, Oni swung his blade, aiming for Yamick's soul. (7)

((OOC: Dammit, Noroi isn't here, so I have to make up for it. In regards to the ending of Yamick's last post: Yamick, go torward the light!))

Oni looked up, actually pleased to see something was happening. "Well, Yamick. I knew you had some power left in you. This fight might just beginning," Oni said to himself, getting ready for the next event to happen. "I see your God of light. And I challenge his power!" Oni roared. His body floated up, but the darkness swirled around him, although it wasn't visible to anyone but himself. Oni reared back his left fist, but it wasn't just that anymore. The darkness had created an extention of his body, so now a large, powerful fist of shadows extended past Oni's normal arm. He trust the fist forward, and it stretched as far as neccessary, knocking this 'God of Light' out of Oni's domain. Oni was sure such a common attack didn't hurt a God, but he didn't need it to. Once it was out of sight, Oni was ready. It'd take it a minute to return, and by then, I wont be able to.

Oni grinned evily, landing softly and soundlessly on the ground. A second later, Oni was finished with the preparations. "Go ahead, Yamick. Resummon your God. You may be able to resummon as many as you need, but he can't be summoned inside here. Thus, they must be created outside of my darkness to be born. And therein lies the problem. Because my portals can transport not just me, but anything that walks through then," Oni said. His voice echo'd throughout the black air, making Yamick unable to pinpoint him. "And so, with a simple focus of my energy, I can make the area holding my energy in a portal itself. Anything touching the outside will merely be transported to the other side," Oni explained. The large God outside tried to enter from the top, but it's hand merely continued through the dome to the bottom, unable to even feel the contents of it, let alone give any light into it.

"Face it," Oni said. "The Shadow will swallow the light, engulf it into nothingness. Let the despair surround you. Feel the night's cold embrace. Feel Death's cold fingertips, grasping at your very life!" Oni said, letting his inner demon take over once again. He was now more powerful than ever, and wasn't willing to let his reign go without a fight. "Bring it on, Yamick. Bring the strongest fight you've got. I'm ready..." (8 )

Oni watched, almost impressed by Yamick's determination. This was why he enjoyed to battle above all. Not to win, or lose, but to see people determined in something they want. See someone giving it their all and then some. So, Oni decided to help Yamick out. He lifted his arms, and drew them down to his side with his elbows bent. In both of his hands, a black orb began to form from the Darkness surrounding it. Then, it began to absorb all of the surrounding darkness, sucking it in like a vaccume. This didn't actually pull Yamick off course or anything like that, but the pressure was enough for both fighters to know what was going on.

This pull of darkness energy made the surrounding barrier** weak enough for Yamick's attack to actually connect. Oni watched as Yamick's drill struggled against the weakened wall, and cracked it. As white cracks formed on the wall, they spider-webbed out, and Yamick pierced the wall in holified glory. Oni was almost proud to see Yamick accomplish such an incredible feat. But Oni was still fighting him, and couldn't take it easy just yet.

As the rest of the shadows swirled into the two small orbs, Oni grinned. He held two, highly concentrated, powerful weapons of destruction. These were pure Shadow Energy, formed into two small balls. Oni struggled to combined them together, and held it in his left hand. "I can't use this just yet, I'll just store it," He said to Yamick, as the blue energy still coarsing around his body began to pulse into the orb. It would hide the orb among Oni's energy for a short period of time, until Oni needed it again. But until then, Oni was ready to hold Yamick off.

"Let's see how you fair against my signature attack," Oni said, drawing back his right arm. In the palm of it, blue energy poured, bathing his hand in a black flame. The fire spread from his hand to his entire right arm. "DARKNESS DRAGON!!!" Oni roared, thrusting his arm forward. From the flame emerged a serphent-like dragon, made purely of this black energy. But he didn't fire it against Yamick, but the Light God himself, Zusus. The energy hit the being square in the chest, overflowing beyond his back. The attack tore and ripped at the light, swallowing it like Darkness often did. This being may have been a God, but even the strongest of beings can be brought down by their opposite. (9)

((OOC: ** Just for future reference, there is no actual wall. I've talked with Yamick about this privately, and decided to ignore this fact for the fight, since I didn't actually specify this. But there's no wall, meaning if you go where the wall should be, you'll just be on the opposite side of this little "dome". All sides are like bottomless pits, that just link to another portion in the dome. Just wanting to clear that up.))
