Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( gonk you dont say kk to my misery! ))

Taizen could see that Daniel had resurfaced, and was periodically stomping his feet, the fir ground beneath his feet tingled, he wasn't an earthbender, so why was his feet so tingly? "The water is underground..." he said aloud, the hail of ice stopped, and ice shard were strewn all around, "Lets take Kazuki for inspiration" stooping low he made a circlular motion with both of his hands, then turned on his leaft heel, waving his hands in one direction, the ice crystals in that direction rose and followed his hand, his fingers were rigid and unmoving, his wrist and arms directing the course that the Ice moved. turning on his opposite heel, he raised the other hand and made another sweeping motion in the opposite diirection, picking up the ice shards there. left and right, back and forth, for every action, there is an equal and opposite, reaction, the same goes for waterbending, when you do something, later, you must make a movement that will complete your previous movement.

Taizen breathed in slowly through his nose, he wasnt very fast, but after the training hed done previously he was limber, and Taizen reasoned that if he could hit Daniel from all sides... The ice shards, several 'attached' to one finger, hovered around Taizen, immobile for as long as his arms were, every movement causing the ice to move, his hands were in mantis style, and the shards were pointed in Daniels dirction, waving his hand left, right, left again, and then striking with two fingers on either hand, the ice shards swirled in the air and select ice shards shot out at Daniel, As soon as the ice had shot out, Taizen dashed to the east of Daniel, and began making the motions to strike again with the ice shards still in his possesion, after he shot these he'd dash for the north of Daniel, and strike him again, he couldn't make walls of earth that fast, could he?

Daniel had not stoped his circlular motion haering the ice shars move as if getting ready to attack. he would spin his body with both palms out and his hands moving up and down as he spun encaseing himself in a spherical ball of earth thick enough that he could block the isce shards and if any broke through he could simply repair the wall.

By the now the he had almost fully sealed the pool, all he needed to do was wait for this attack to end and he would force the lid shut on the pool with devistating force. Incase if he opponent tried to escape from the pool while he was closeing still his body would be crushed by the earth his upper half abouve ground while the lower half of his body would fall to the ground as the impact would split his body from were ever he was hit. However this would only happen if he tried to escape.

His opponent had done well but forgot that Daniel could hear very well, and would be expecting the attack ment for him. and since he had already been moveing in a circular motion it was easy for him to continue this motion sheilding himself from any kind of attack that his opponent might try.

[lol, just letting you know i understand.]

Daniel could tell from the sounds that his opponent was trying to find a flaw with his sheild this gave him the perfect opportuninty he would wait till the water would turn to ice again, getting his his horse stance curiling his body into somewhat of a ball crouched on the ground. once the water would turn to ice he would sand up with all his mite causeing his sheild of earth to explode like a bomb; the explosion would expand though makeing all of the ice surrounding his little ball to be forced most likely out of the areana from the massive disruption he had caused.

Now with no more distractions he would stomp on thr gound and punch forward forcefully with both hands in closed fists wich would force the lid to slam shut on the pool, his opponent had one last chance of escapeing but it was doubtful; if he could conjure up enough water he could create a thick wall of ice to keep the pool from being sealed completely. Then again daniel had removed his main source of water and the rest of what was left was just blasted out of reach. It would take a true miricale to help his opponent win now.

[and i belive that ends it, unless you can somehow think of a way to wriggle out of this one. lol]

[yah i am sorry about the mixed messages too but you did good! ^^ not many water benders would be able to hold their own against a earth bender like you did.]

Daniel waited and he herd his opponent gasp for air signaling to him that the battle was over. he figured from the gasp of breathe that his opponent could not go on. it was indeed a good battle, and Daniel had planned on faceing him again someday.

Daniel merly stood there as if waiting for someone to declare that he had won, or to haer on on comeing attack that his opponent might try as a last resort.
