Lunaritina remains still, in the same stance, simply watching her opponent.

Suddenly he begins to stagger towards her, his feeting sounding heavy on the ground. He was about ten feet away from her by now, staggering slowly along. Yet, it could only slightly be noticed that even though he staggered, his feet were firm in their steps.

Taking her left hand from behind her back, she waggles a finger at her opponent, beginning to back away from him at the same speed he's using to walk toward her.

Soon after she begins moving she would possibly feel, depending on if she feels through her armour, very large hands close around her ankles. Given that her attention had been on him, and that it was now obvious that she couldn't see through the back of her head, it doesn't seem possible that should could simply avoid them, especially since more were appearing only seconds later. They were made of stone and were attached to the ground, molded from the stone itself, and extended. All around her more hands were forming from the ground and reaching to grab her. Being made of stone and of the same material as the colliseum they were naturally strong, and also rather jagged. All of the hands were, naturally, attached to arms of stone which didn't really fit normal human movement but arms is the only word for them, really. Some of them grew to be even taller than her, aiming to grab her shoulders and head. Their purpose is to pull her deep into the ground, either to have her crushed by the pressure or bring her below the ten foot distance for a ring-out.
Also, the very instant that She had begun moving backwards, the ground would have started getting softer beneathe her, being grinded into sand but clearly not noticable since the arena floor is already covered under a layer of sand. Yet the ground would feel no different until the hands had her.
It should now have been clear that Seshmi was not dawdling the whole time in the smoke and with the gas. Every moment he was stepping on the ground he was channeling energy into it, preparing for this set up.
The moment that the whole thing was set in motion he used his speed, going in circles around her and kicking up the sand in a seemingly dust tornado, another visual shield. What hidden tricks were within this whirlwind?
SUM UP: Hands made of the stone of the colliseum came from the ground to grab her, unless she can suddenly see out of the back of her head she would be grabbed. At the same time tons of other ones are coming to grab her. The ground/sand beneathe her is becoming very soft and Seshmi has starting running around her in a complete blur in circles, kicking up sand to blind her.

The instant she realizes she's been grabbed, she activates the saber she's been concealing in her right hand behind her back all this time, quickly severing the hands holding her with the energy blade and jumping before more hands could grab her, travelling twenty feet up before she starts to slow and quickly using the thrusters to continue her ascent, travelling easily and quickly to sixty feet up while at the same time moving forward to leave the perimeter of the dust tornado. Though she keeps on guard and fires two more shots down with her left hand the same way she did before (even if she misses, they will create holes in the ground in Seshmi's circular path, which are almost certain to trip him), it's unnecessary, as Seshmi would most likely be unable to track her movement with his vision while moving fast enough to continue the tornado - heck, at those speeds, he'd have enough trouble interpreting what's in front of him!
In any case, after moving thirty feet out of the radius of the tornado, she halts at the altitude of sixty-five feet and hovers there. Her left hand now remains in the form of some kind of futuristic gun, and she accurately shoots any of the ground-hands which show signs of reaching up toward her - however, recalling the earlier fake-out, she keeps an eye on the tornado.

Suddenly needles begin flying out of the tornado, the tips covered in a strange black colour, what the black is? No one could give a guess. All his needles fly at near the speed of normal bullets, as through projected with a powerful force behind them. They all were aimed right at her, mainly her vital points. With all that speed it seems like a wonder how anyone could aim so well, but Seshmi wasn't going to reveal his secret just yet.
Also, even though there are holes in the ground Seshmi doesn't trip, as his momentum carries him over them with ease. Hell, given his speed, he is practically floating for half of the circle of motion, although the holes still fill up completely with sand to insure no trips. This done so with the energy channelling.
NOTE: The needles are being shot at about 8 per second, so theres plenty of em. 4laugh

As the needles begin to assault her, Lunaritina activates her thrusters again, beginning to use them like a point-defense system to blast nearby needles out of the air with the force of the thruster output; while doing so, she "drifts" backward and down at a surprisingly fast rate, until she is only at an altitude of thirty feet and a respectable sixty feet from the tornado, at which point she stops, returning to hovering in midair. She does not stop using her thrusters for defense, however, but simply equalizes them with more thrusts from opposing directions to cancel movement. The few needles that do get through the surprisingly effective system bounce harmlessly off the armor, causing brief and dim white sparks where they hit, and she now covers her face with her left hand, in a sort of half-buster half-hand mode and holding the energy saber (inactive).
She is not content with simply standing there and defending, though, and she raises her right hand - now also a buster - and aims it at the center of the tornado. Her arm trembles briefly before a shot eight feet in diameter erupts from this buster, travelling right on target toward the eye of the tornado - however, because of the low angle she fired from, it is almost certain to cross Seshmi's path, and at his speed he'd run into and through it several thousand times before it could reach the ground.

Except, she forgot to take into account the black colour on the end of the needles. Also sine she allowed some of them to hit her, the black colour had it's effect. Powerful explosions, with black flames, would erupt wherever they hit. The fire was specially designed to eat through metals and armour, which would be useful since her body was covered in the stuff. Also, since she had already said that they strike her, she would pretty much be engulfed in the black flames of the explosions.
At the same moment that the needles begin striking her, Seshmi suddenly comes, literally, flying out of the tornado of sand, although for some reason it continues to rotate as a tornado, as though something else is keeping it going. Even if she manages to release her attack he would be well under it, and her, before it came close. As he got under her he release more gas up towards her and spat the black spit, causing another huge explosion, generally right around her since she would already be hit by the needles, although it would still get her if she lowered since there was a stream of fire and explosion from the trail of gas.
Seshmi flew about 10 feet more before flipping over and sliding along the ground, once again in his stance, having watched solidly he is already prepared for any possible couter-attack, that is, if she can survive. Although the needle explosions themselves should have torn her apart.
NOTE: Yes, I have legit reasons for all of this, such as why I don't go flying out at lightning speed and such.

As Seshmi dashes under the blast and breathes the mist before spitting into it, it explodes right in his face, certainly enough to send him flying backwards - right back into the path of Lunaritina's blast, which is about to hit the ground. At this distance and from his new position, it's unlikely he'd be able to avoid the concussive blast completely.

((Since we've discussed I'll just say what'll happen and then we can continue))
Sadly, Seshmi realized he spat a bit too soon and thus the gas exploded much closer than he intended. He was sent flying faster in the same direction he had been going, but falling quicker since the explosion angled him down slightly. Rolling once he manage to regain his ground, holding the earth with his hands and feet, slowing him down to a stop only a few feet from the wall. He begins to dash to the left as soon as he can though, knowing staying in once place will make him vulnerable. A few flakes of burnt skin can be floating off of him, but luckily he was fairly resistant to being burned.
As for Binatica's blast at the tornado, it hits something. It goes flying out of the tornado and right into a wall, making a large cracked indentation from the speed. What is it? It's Seshmi, but how can that be? He's now running around about 100 feet from Binatica.
It's a copy, and bits and pieces of charred flesh can be seen falling off, revealing solid stone beneathe. A bit of the stone on it's face and chest are cracked a bit, but all the same it pulls itself out of the wall and looks up at Binatica, then proceeds to run in the same direction as Seshmi, around the far edge of the arena.
Both are going a fairly normal speed, fast enough to avoid any blasts sent at them, but still fine enough to have completely control and be able to move freely.

The copy would have been destroyed if it were hit by the blast, the concussion having fragmented and broken its body. As Seshmi runs around the arena, starting from behind her and moving toward her side, she backs up while descending toward the ground until she reaches the ground by the wall and places her back against it, holding her left arm in a defensive fashion and her now slightly-shining right arm in a protective way.

((Ugh, whatever))
Seshmi suddenly stops, looking directly at Binatica. Then, using his extra speed to place his palm on the ground in less than a second. He had been channeling energy into the ground as always, and this particular trap had been in planning for awhile, so it was executed with precision.
And suddenly there is no longer ground beneath Binatica, and there are walls. Above her there is a roof, all made of the solid stone of the arena, the wall her back was to was still the arena wall. Each wall is about 5 feet thick, the outside rather messy as though it had just been melted and hardened. Below her is a pit 20 feet deep, and at the bottom is a large amount of stone spikes. The entire box at the top is only about 4 by 4 feet, a tight fit. All the seams of the box are actually melded together, making a solid stone box around her. It would seem the only way was down, as if she release a shot within there, the concussive force would surely kill her. Also, even if she flew to stay out of the pit, the oxygen would soon run out.
As for Seshmi, once it had all been formed he raised his hand from the ground, leaving a blackened hand print. Then he began to dash towards the box, still fast enough to cover the distance but slow enough to keep control.
SUM UP: Basically the attack made a stone box around you complete with roof, and the ground beneath you basically melted away at the same time with a 20 foot pit. Think of it like one of those snap action booby traps where everything happens at once very quickly. So if you tried to fly out or anything, by the time your character actually realized what was happening she wouldn't really be able to escape. I might as well tell you that one of my character's abilities is to mold and move stone/earth as if it was mere water. So basically he was easily able to make the ground vanish by pushing it to the sides and up. Oh and I may not have been clear, but theres no edge or anything to grab on to.
More basic sum up, he made the box around you then ran towards it sweatdrop

Lunaritina merely smiles, and, rearranging her posture, thrusts one arm forward. From Seshmi's perspective, it would appear as though an energy saber of some sort was cutting through the rock at the top of the box, and within mere seconds a full closed shape has been cut out and is pushed out as Lunaritina soars out of the new hole, left arm with saber held defensively and shining right arm at the ready.

As he began to see the cuts, while still running, he had made his back-up plan ready to be launched. As soon as Binatica had burst free, a very large number of thin, long stone javelins, literally, flew from the stands behind her and straight towards her back. Also a couple were launched from higher spots in the stands in case she tried to fly upwards.
At the same time Seshmi began throwing more of his needles, but the substance on the tips were different this time. Rather than explode by blunt contact, they would explode from a chemical reaction with large amounts of oxygen. Another one of his chemical concoctions.
The theory was that if she used her air thrusters as a defence, they would force enough oxygen out to react with the needles and explode.
Seshmi was still running as he began throwing these. The stone projectiles had been triggered by a short incantation that he started when she was cutting through the stone, and launched with the final word when she was out.
SUM UP: He was just running and got his back-up plan ready(which was for incase you escape) which basically he did a small incantation as you were cutting then released them with the last word. And then he basically just started throwing needles.
NOTE: My character has a fairly small knowledge of alchemy but, uses it to create explosive chemicals.

As she leaps down from the box, most of the javelins would miss, since they were coming from the stands behind her - and her back had been to the wall. The few that do even come close to hitting her are no worry, for she pauses only to send a three-foot-wide energy blast at Seshmi before she begins moving to dodge the needles as she detaches two small packs from her sides and fastens them together, ceasing her movement as she notices that the needles aren't exploding. She does, however, keep an eye on Seshmi and particularly on his hands - if he switches to another kind of needles, she'll know.
