arrow NO U!
The wave was split in twain by some unseen force, parting and settling down. This was soon understood to be because of the controlled vibrations of the ocean, but how? Areno's domain was not water...
This was all a great mystery and whatnot, but for now, a small section the sea floor below Mado was thrust up, quicker than the fastest bolt. Invisibly, an equally fast spear of pressurized air thrust downwards, the force of Tenchi combined.

Those bolts would meet violently with Mado's circular barrier. At first, it seems like such a thing would be nigh impossible to crack; it's not ice, and not normal water..it's more like gel, only..with an adaptable form that bends and twists rapidly to shift and churn with the blows that come against it. Ultimately, the shield would split apart, and so would Mado; into water droplets himself, only to come back together once the bolts met in the middle and dissipated. The change was near instantaneous, and the reconvergence also as such. Mado's cellular structure was highly unstable, and obviously he could self-transmute into his element. Interesting.
Still, Mado sighs. This isn't the style of fighting he enjoys..this man was a shinobi..not a noble swordsman at all. Oh well..you can't pick your enemies, he supposes. They're only buying time for the owner anyway. He shrugs..
"I guess I should actually take the fighting seriously..man, what a pain in the a**.."

arrow Warp Factor Jesus
Areno was shinobi, and he never gave his opponent time to accomplish what they wished. The earth bolt was the only thing destroyed... the bolt of air expanded and rose skyward as Mado dissipated into his liquid component, attempting to carry him upwards into the clear sky and spread his particles to the winds.
Areno had witnessed this little cellular reformation ability before, and was attempting to counter it.

The problem is, wherever there was water, there was Mado. His cells were magically enhanced, like all of the four great generals. As long as there was water vapor or water anywhere, he could reform there. Scattered to the winds as he is, he still manages to reform..only much further away than he'd wanted to. His consciousness is what's important, not the physical bond. It's what holds the real power. His flesh is really and truly meaningless; It's the will to survive that governs man, not his body.
Still, he doesn't seem to attack. It's odd, it's like he's waiting for someone. He shakes his head..
"It isn't you that fate has chosen for me. You're very skilled, maybe even beyond myself, at least without forcing a change of forms..but..I was trying to attract a different shark than a sand shark."

The wind whispered around Mado in Areno's voice. "Fate is no more than the path and obstacles before you. Predestined or situationally determined, this is all." Mado would notice the air pressure directly around him was crushing in, like it was solid. Attempting to disperse into water in this swirling, compressed barrier of wind would simply result in him being contained as he was now.

"Truly, you do not understand the reality of fate; you are little more than someone who dismisses the notion by saying such things. I will wait, if necessary. I cannot die by the hand of someone not chosen. It is also irrelevant..this flesh is just a memory..a memory of a long time ago. Destroy it if you will, but I will not give you the satisfaction of fighting to the death with you."
Mado shrugs and leans in his new prison of air with a chuckle..
"In the old times, truly, I was a force to behold. In these times, we are little more than a memory of what used to be. To be honest..I'm a retired general..heh..but the owner..he won't let the old ways go.."

"If you have no desire to fight, then leave without further destruction and loss of life. You have no reason to be here if you do not come seeking to destroy or be destroyed." The prison continued shrinking further and further. Around, the clouds bowed inwards towards this jail, bearing witness to just how much pressure was building up and being contained.
That's when the pulse rushed by, followed quickly by high waves and disruption. Half of the clones faded away, and the air prison buckled momentarily.
"Commander Ra'Shiel?"

He feels it too..then his own eyes widen as he feels that..could it be...that power? That attack was..and Mado just closes his eyes..and flicks out his blades, swinging..psychically commanding the ocean and the sky, calling the twin dragons to blast into the prison..shattering it apart when it becomes weaker. He flows down, standing on the water again..
"It seems..that both of our leaders are using a level of power reserved for the gods. They're giving it so much, aren't they..?"

The clones backed away, then, and a single Areno stepped forward past the Junsui Bunshin.
"Then you can either fight or fly. Choose, but I will not allow you to harm others." There it was, an intense pulse of Earth energy flowing out and away from his form... Earth and something else, something not of this plane. Waiting to be released. Sand rose from around him, forming into two barely-shaped arms that terminated in large fingers.

"Would it matter? You and I are the same. We have nothing to prove one way or the other. No matter the outcome, the other would walk away and simply resume their routine no matter what. I was hoping that fate would lead me to meet the one chosen for me..but that is not to be the case. I doubt you and I will speak again..you and I are not meant to fight. You don't have the correct state of mind to satisfy my desires."
He merely stands there..crossing his arms over his chest, with an impassive look..

The boy shrugged lightly. "Nor are you prey worthy of my full power. We are at an impasse. You seem to wish not to leave, and I cannot allow you to come any further. Begone." The fingers on the arms rising from below Areno twitched momentarily, as if gaining feeling.

"You overestimate yourself, lad. Your power is exceptional, but you're a thousand years too early to speak to me that way. The one I was awaiting was worthy..you might be, but you are only mortal. Your fame is not enough to attract my full power. What you sense is only the tip of the ocean's surface..but it's fine. You will think what you think. Perhaps you are stronger than I think..but that's of no consequence. I will remain here..waiting. I will inflict no harm..but I will wait. Wait for what is destined."
He kinda almost sounds like a Hyuuga..

Areno turned his face upwards, sunlight glinting off of starkly white eyes with barely discernible pupils. Hyuuga, huh? How about stolen Byakuugan?
"Your master is departing. Will you stay and fight, or leave and cause no further harm to those my commander has bade me protect?"
The young assassin stood resolute, gathering energy from the earth around him.

Mado simply retreated after all was said and done..becoming as water..for now, all the threats were gone. Still, there was an eruption of water, and from the liquid, there rose a chest. Arrr, a dead man's chest. Still, it didn't look trapped. A ninja would know.

Areno waited some time for Mado's total essence to disappear completely, and then continued to keep watch. After awhile, he dropped his energy levels back to normal and then performed two Kuji-In, Earth and Self.
A relative likeness of Areno rose from the sand and stalked out to the chest, attempting to open it. Perhaps there was some clue inside as to what was going on.
