[u]A wall of tendrils bursts from the ground in front of her, slicing haphazardly at her body. While she's pre-occupied, Po opens his mouth and breaths out copious amounts of black, murky mist. It pours down almost like a liquid, pooling around both of their feet. It spreads out about forty feet before veering sharply up to create a wall. Po moves through the wall before it becomes a solid mass, arcing over Maya and the tendrils. The roof shuts, but somehow light still pierces through the murky depths, illuminating the large room.[/u]
"[i]Before we fight, I want some entertainment. You'll fight a few of my [b]guests[/b] before I'm ready.[/i]"
[u]The arena solidifies, the walls preventing Maya from escape. A small portal appears thirty feet away from Maya, it's surface pulsating with dark energies.[/u]

Edited by Doos: 8/17/2016 8:51:57 PM*Maya slides the tip of both swords into the ground. A recurring pulse starts to fill the room, wave after wave. It picks up speed until an explosion of murky shadowy smoke blasts outward, centering from Maya's position. The smoke clears and Maya is adorned in a full suit of fabled shadow armor. The armor has an odd effect of making it hard to keep track of the wearer.* [b]I have time. Bring them on.[/b]

[u]The sound of Po chuckling reverberates through the coliseum, the sound bouncing off the walls over and over again. As he laughs, the portal widens to fit a being roughly the size of a human through. Slowly, an older man is pushed out, gasping for air. He's dressed in rags, and his hair is long and tattered. Scars from ages of torture can be seen covering his body, the skin tone differentiating in large amounts.he looks around frantically, slightly weeping after seeing the mist walls.[/u] P:"[i]Consider yourself lucky, my plaything. You have a chance to be free![/i]" [u]The old man looks around for the source before realizing it's just an echo.[/u] O:"[b]I won't have anythin' teh do with your games, yeh insane beast![/b]" P:"[i]Silence! Do you wish to go back into my domain?![/i]" [u]The man simply whimpers in response.[/u] P:"[i]I see that's a no. Then fight this lady and kill her, and you shall be free of your bonds.[/i]" [u]The old man stands upon hearing this, visibly excited by the concept of being free. Mist pours in from a small pool, forming a long sword and shield in his hands.[/u] O:"[b]I'm sorry, but I just can't bare to be under his control any longer...[/b]" [u]It appears that he is genuinely sorry. He takes up a defensive stance, holding his shield out in front of him. It is apparent he doesn't know how to use such a weapon however.[/u]
-
*Maya sneers in disgust and steps through her shadow dimension to reappear behind the old man. She runs him through from behind, placing a hand on his shoulder and whispering in his ear. The man visibly relaxes before his body slumps to the ground, a gasp escaping his throat.* [b]Interesting. Is that really the best you have to offer?[/b] *Maya kicks the slab of meat and reaches down, plunging her hand into it's chest. She raises the heart above her head and squeezes it into a liquid pulp* [b]Try again big boy.[/b]
-
[u]A menacing laughter echoes throughout the chamber as the old man falls to the ground. His body is slowly absorbed as a portal emerges under him, it eating away at his flesh.[/u] "[i]Yes, yes! Such brutality, but the only outcome. You have done him a favor, you know. He was one of my favorites, so he got [b]special[/b] attention... No matter. You entertain me, mortal. What I would give to have you as my plaything... Alas, such is not to be. Now, let us test your will, shall we?[/i]" [u]Four more portals appear, revealing four younger children. They huddle together, their skin covered in fresh cuts and bruises from torture. They whimper, but do not speak.[/u] "[i]Kill them. I wish not to keep them in my domain much longer, as they can scream no more.[/i]" [u]Upon hearing Po's voice, tears well up in the smallest ones eyes. The tallest one moves in front of them, creating a shield with his body.[/u]
-
*Maya stares at Po, glaring, as she raises a hand into the air. Shadows from her dimension wash out over the children. A gas within knocks them out and the smoke pours into their throats. Killing them easily.* [b]Bahhh. You disgust me. [/b]
-
[u]Even louder laughter bursts out upon her finishing the sentence. The stadium shakes with his laughter, it seemingly multiplied by the echoey substance that makes up the walls.[/u] "[i]If that disgusts you, then you best not ask what I did to take their voices.[/i]" [u]Silence encumbers the room as Po makes his final preparations for his entrance.[/u]
-
*Maya snarls and starts chanting to the shadow demons in her blade. Allowing them even more access for possession.* [b]So be it. [/b]
-
[u]A large portal opens, and from it comes a beast so evil that words cannot even describe. It's body is covered in armor resembling that of tortured beings, faces of agony covering it's putrid black body. In it's hand lay a massive scythe, and in the other a chain whip soaked in blood.[/u] "[i]Now, let us learn who has the stronger will, me..[/i]" [u]He waves the scythe to his side.[/u] "[i]Or you.[/i]"
-
*Maya finished the chanting, her shadow armor aglow with designs. Her eyes, two blue flames. Her swords, one ablaze in light. The other sucking light from the air around it, gripped in her fists. She steps forward into a low stance, rearing for his first move* [b]Jeeeezuus. Finally you show up. What are you waiting for?[/b]
-
[u]Po swings the scythe too and fro, obviously bored.[/u] "[i]I had to simply get my scythe and armor. It's hasn't been used in such a long time, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.[/i]" [u]He slices mockingly at her, the blade so slow it could be easily dodged[/u]
-
*Maya refuses to move. Placing two access points on either side of her, so the scythe almost appears to go through her* [b]I may be smaller. But don't mistake that for inferiority boy[/b] *Maya closes the access points trapping the scythe head in oblivion, the whole scythe seemingly unable to move* [spoiler]it's still whole. Just half of it's in the shadow dimension. While the other half is in your hand[/spoiler]
-
[u]Po tugs on the scythe, realizing quickly is stuck. Chuckling, he waves his free hand and a wave of bladed tendrils fly towards Maya. They dodge left and right, the tips dripping with putrid acid.[/u]
-
*Maya slams both blades down and released a massive wave of energy from Dulthraki, blasting the tendrils back, she rushes up the staff of the stuck scythe, heading towards the towering figure's face*
-
[u]With a flick of his wrist, the chained whip unfurls into it's massive forty foot length. Black flames burn through the spiked weapon, burning and eating away at what's left of the grass beneath them. He swings it haphazardly at Maya, the tip cracking through the air as he swings it towards her midsection.[/u]
-
*Maya, her senses enhanced by both the skills of Dulthraki, and the demons possessing her, "sees" the massive chain whip before she even turns her head. She somersaults and rolls forward, her body dissipating into shadowy smoke. She reappears running along the chain links, black and black red sparks flying from her feet as the demons battle the burning from the black fire.* [b]Iiiimmm gonna getcha.[/b] *She says in a gruesome, gravelly voice. Smiling with a dark twisted smile* [b]You're too big for your own good[/b]
-
[u]Po smiles sickeningly, as if things are going the way he wants them. The scythe suddenly re-appears in his free hand, and he swings it while pulling the chain towards him to make the slice extremely difficult to dodge.[/u]
