Welcome to Gaia! ::

He sort of jumps to the side to avoid the blast, rolling slightly and sending needles the whole way. Yet, he felt it was time to take a different approach with the needles. Noticing that she was watching his hands, he figured she was watching to see if he changed needle types or anything. Clearly she didn't understand alchemy.

The substance did change yet again, but he did not need to change how they looked at all, merely the properties. Given that alchemy is an art of changing the properties of substances, he could do it without any form of obviousness(is that a word?).

So releasing another barrage of needles, and still on the move, he expected to catch her off guard, thinking the needles had stayed the same since he hadn't really move his hands besides throwing. These ones would have his invisible energy wrapped around them so that when he release it, the chemical would react to the air and burst into a spray of pure acid.

Since he was still moving and throwing, he would make them explode into acid about 3 feet away from her, hoping that with the surprise he would spray her with the deadly substance.

SUM UP: He uses his alchemy to change the substance without any obvious thing noticable at all. Then he throws them and makes them explode 3 feet from you, turning them into a powerful acid, the spray is spread out enough to cover half your body. Thats about it, changed substance and keeps running and throwing.

To avoid the blasts as well as to just generally increase the distance between the two, he speeds to the opposite end of the arena from her, just as he fires the last two shots.

Putting his hands together, then pushing his hands palm down against the ground, two large masses of stone begin to, seemingly, melt upwards fro the ground to take shape. They are identical to Seshmi except for the the stoney colour, but that is soon fixed. Placing his hands on either of their shoulders, flesh, clothing, armour and weapons begin to form on ethier surfaces until they are exact duplicates of Seshmi. They would be finished doing all this shortly after Lunaritina had pushed the buttons and whatever it was had started materializing.

He was ready.

Seshmi lucks out and he completes the clones just as the energy blasts are heading towards him. If it wasn't for his, and their, speed they would have been totalled. Seshmi's hands quickly snapped to his sides and the two clones roll to the sides to avoid the blasts.

-------------------------------------------------
Now, I will be doing paragraphs in different colours. Black will be for all three at the same time, Red will be for Seshmi alone, Blue will be for Clone 1(on his left) and Green will be for Clone 2(on his right).
-------------------------------------------------

Now the beauty of these clones that Seshmi has created is that they aren't the usual one hit, destroyed clones. Given Seshmi's special abilties of soul manipulation he is able to break of extremely tiny pieces of his soul and transfer them into these clones, which are exactly like him in every way. They have the same speed, strength, and capabilities. Which is what makes them so special. Also, the three will have constant mental connections and be able to communicate even with the smallest of reaction times to think of a plan.

The down side is that even though these clones are very strong, the most Seshmi can make is 4. Any more and his soul will imbalance and cause him to go into a fit of insanity and rage.

The first thing the three do(shortly after dodging) is throw silver spheres at the ground. Which explode into a massive amount of smoke, more work of alchemy. The smoke is very thick so surely Lunaritina, who before couldn't see through the sand or explosion smoke, would not be able to see through this.

Seshmi himself runs out to the left side, holding four kunai in between the fingers of each hand. He has long since noticed that Lunaritina has gotten on a motorcyle-esque vehicle. He would begin running around the left side, curving to get out just in front of the smoke. He was ready to attack.

Clone 1 stays in the smoke, and begins to slowly chant, his energy pouring into the ground. He has marked a special seal into the ground, and it is a spell in the making. The ground itself around him begins to bubble.

Clone 2 basically follows the exact same route as Seshmi, except on the right side. They are practically mirroring eachother.

They are all of course observing what Lunaritina is doing and are on there toes in case they need to dodge to defend in any form.

SUM UP: Clones barely dodge the blasts, and they throw smoke bombs down a second later. The smoke spreads fairly quickly, and it's only about 3 seconds until they make their moves. Seshmi to the left, Clone 2 to the right, and Clone 1 preparing the ability.

They are about 160 feet away from you, since before I forgot to specify how far away Seshmi ran.

Also, they are identical in every way. You would literally think they were all the exact same person. Even if you scanned their vitals(although they have none) or anything like that, they would still be identical. Which I guess gives you a hint that Seshmi is actually made of stone on the inside with flesh covering. His reincarnation and soul manipulation abilities allow him to control his body with only his soul, no need for vital parts. So I guess before when I said they connect "mentally" their souls are just communicating.

((I hope I made everything clear enough. sweatdrop ))

Unfortunately, she forgot about the Clone 1 not two feet away from her. His spell was completely just as she got into the smoke. So as she braked to change direction, a large amount of stone spikes would come up from the ground, directly beneathe her and around her bike. They moved extremely quickly, as though they melted upwards, but they were completely solid. They were condensed stone so they were about as dense and hard as diamond. This was a result from the spell which not only compresses the stone but enables the user(Clone 1) to move and change it with his energy as though it was water.

The spikes would end up going high enough to be about 3 feet above Lunaritina, and still connected to the ground. Since she had not paid any attention to it at all, and had either forgotten about the clone or ignored it, it would be EXTREMELY unlikely that she could anticipate this attack. As a result she would likely be impaled multiple times, especially given that the condensed stone would punch through even the toughest of metals.

Since this happens just as she brakes and therefore just before she rockets out, it is unlikely that she will get to at all.

Seshmi watches the whole time, still ready in case of some other surprise.

Clone 2 mimics Seshmi.

Seshmi forfeits.

Lunaritina wins and advances.
