Taking a step forward on the hardened sand, a darkened color emitted off the heel of his boot as the foot touched with the sand. It stayed there, spreading out before reconnecting with his body. This process seemed to repeat over and over again with each passing step. Yet, time after time, the blobs seemed to have gotten less noticable as it became more intone with the grains of the earth. After reaching about five steps, Maximus stopped and viewed the onslaught of opponents again. The water seemed to be intelligent, but he stopped at a far enough range where he was unaffected. As he continued to watch, he started to move his hands from the sides of his body and into the front. Having his arms outstretched before him, he quickly turned his forearms to the inside so one was on top of another. Still looking in front, he slowly pulled his arms away from each other, not to go off path of the opposite arm. Finally, when his fingers touched, a small burst of dark clouds could be seen from the distance, emitting off of his hands. In less than 10 seconds, the clouds vanished and within each hand stood Yin & Yang, his two kodachi's. Slowly putting his arms back down to the side, he began to take the eerie steps towards the center of the arena again, carefully viewing the opponents. This time, the blobs weren't even noticeable, like they were apart of him now....
The sun showed brightly behind him, but no shadow was emitting off of him. Instead, shadows of the other buildings began to move when he moved. Touching where he touched. It was as though he was controlling the shadows himself. In no due time, he stopped yet again, but this time to speak once more so everyone could hear him. Opening his mouth, he let out a small cough and then spoke before the opponents in a loud, rasp voice...
"So, this is where everyone is? Does anyone want to even challenge death itself? I take it as a no because you all are busy fighting amongst yourselves, thinking you are stronger than everyone. Instead of attacking each other, why not combine your futile efforts and attack me? It could actually make me break a sweat," he shouted to everyone so that they could hear him. His face was still tangled in his darkened scarf. One noticable thing was that his hands started to grip Yin & Yang even tighter. Stretching his arms so that they were perpindicular to his body, he let out when final burst of speech, "Well, what do you say? Or do I have to take each of you down one by one?"
OOC: Still a tad short, but whatever.
