Royal wasn't fazed by the booth shake, as he wasn't exactly looking there.
He was staring at Maya's hands, waiting for an sudden movements as he entered a defensive stance
English
-
*Maya smirks at your incessant staring and decides to be a tease, she slowly walks forward. Inching, slowly, barely taking any ground. Barely moving. Staying in the low crouch she stalks her prey ever so patiently*
-
"You gonna make me wait?" Royal asked, Almost impatiently
-
*Maya laughs heartedly* [b]Of course. I'm a woman. Didn't your momma teach you about waiting on a woman?[/b] *Maya keeps stalking graciously, never feeling rushed*
-
"In a way, I suppose so." Royal said, shaking his head in dismissal "It was rough."
-
[b]Rough eh? I can relate.[/b] *Maya scowls as she too grows impatient. She launches herself in a pencil spiral towards you. Spear outstretched. But as she gets closer. The air begins to grow hazy from shadowy smoke that fills the air from the edges of her clothing. When you expect her to have reached you, nothing but a light breeze brushes across you. She's seemed to have disappeared in the visibility constricting haze, but without the telltale [i]whump[/i]. A twig snaps behind you, a leaf is brushed in front of you, a bird flies away scared to your left, and a squelch from a boot in mud sounds off to your right. Surrounded* [b]I'm sorry. I too got impatient I guess.[/b]
-
"Is this... Something new?" Royal asked, not moving from the position he was in. He kept his eyes forward, he knew this game all too well

Edited by Doos: 7/12/2017 6:14:44 PM[spoiler]this is the [lack of a better name....] shadow clones. Minimal damage and small health unless reinforced. Fml it sounds like Naruto... But anyways. I can only make ten and can't make any new ones until the turn [i]after[/i] the last one is destroyed. Ex: last clone is destroyed. One turn is incapable of making any. The next turn I have the capability to make one clone. Or however many turns after to regain the strength to make all ten clones, (ten turns after the turn that I can remake clones)[/spoiler] *a whistling noise appears from above and a clone slams into your form from above, the impact causes it to explode into nothing, but the attempt was only made to hopefully throw you off balance. At the moment of impact, ten other versions of Maya come rushing in from every angle* [b]Choose quickly or die Roy. [/b] *they all say in unison*
-
[spoiler]I'M very familiar with yeah shadow clone business. But it's smart to get one each reply [/spoiler] Royal had fallen to one knee, smiling slightly. He leaped forward, stabbing one through the chest before spinning around and decapitating two more. Their shadowy forms disappeared, leaving another seven against Royal. Five [i]whumps[/i] ensued, with another two of the shadow clones disappearing, and leaving Royal a dozen feet away from the others. In mere moments, the ten clones had been reduced to five.
-
*two of the clones, one with a spear and one with dual knives, fell to one knee and opened their mouths in a loud incoherent scream, from their mouths poured a massive amount of shadows from the other dimension, which then turned into tangible whips. They spun out to wrap themselves on Roy's appendages at lightning speed. The three other Maya's somersaulted into the air over the two kneeling. They came down. Two with spears and one with dual knifes. They glared at Roy and launched themselves at the same time. The one with knives disappeared with a [i]whump[/i] and another [i]whump[/i] sounds behind you. You see a smile on one of the Maya's with a spear, the other has a scowl* [b]So far the wrong choices, choose smarter Roy.[/b] [spoiler]thanks. I figured I should put limitations on them. Also. I made the clones all slightly different in this reply so you can make a choice if you choose. Or not if you decide that also. [/spoiler]
-
"The wrong choices? You're the one that didn't notice [b][i]my[/i][/b] clones, Maya." The two clones that had screamed were destroyed, with two clones of Royal standingin their place. Without the two portal openers, the tendrils released Royal and disappeared, allowing him to him the final three down easily. "Now reveal yourself! You're making this fight about the grunts!"
-
Edited by Doos: 7/12/2017 7:04:38 PM*One of the three you cut down stands up and laughs in your ear, as she has a knife to your throat* [b]I don't believe in grunts only. I fight with them. While I've kept my eyes on you the whole time. You've lost sight of me. That was wrong choice numero uno, Senor.[/b] *she throws a flash ball in the air that illuminates the entire arena, shadows gone. She places sunglasses on and then reaches underneath the lens and pulls out shadow knives which she impales the two clones.* [b]I may not know how many clones you can reach. But it can't be more than five or six considering our differences in training. Hopefully you have no other abilities that create clones though. That could be problematic. Now what to do with my caught little mouse.[/b] *she draws a little blood for revenge on the previous nick* [spoiler]I know this one was a little long. Oopsie.. I'm sorry. I got carried away explaining. Lol[/spoiler]
-
[i]Whump [/i] He appeared two feet in front of Maya, with the tip of his blade against her throat "We had differences in our training. Mainly, my light powers were the difference. Seem you've forgotten, little mouse." Royal said, keeping the tip of the blade against her throat "Well fought though."
-
*Maya laughs as the blade tickles her throat. She slams the spear into the ground. The wooden shaft with the symbols falls off, revealing the thin black blade inside, as the spearhead falls off as well. A massive wave of dark aura comes from the weapon, sweeping over Roy and Maya. She gasps and her eyes flicker black before they regain composure, at the same time a green spiralic symbol burns through her clothes on her hip.* *in a raspy voice* [b]You sound as if you think this battle is over child.[/b] *in a normal voice* [b]You stay where you are bitch. Roy, sorry. Having a conversation real fast.[/b] *in a raspy voice* [b]Oh please. You only have shadow realm abilities, you have emotions holding you back. You have only a millennia of experience. I have eternity under my belt, no emotions, and no qualms about using the Shadow Realm to it's fullest extent against this pup. Let me take charge of this one.[/b] *in a normal voice* [b]Now you -blam!- off before I make you -blam!- off. Our agreement still stands. You only get control if you can take it.[/b] *she turns towards Roy* [b]Now let's see how a real fight goes, huh hot stuff?[/b]
-
"What the hell is going on here?" Royal asked, Almost confused as he lowered his blade
-
[b]Don't you worry about it. It's not a problem.... Yet. Not unless I lose control. The possession percent rate is slow. I promise.[/b] *she growls and immediately bashes your sword away, and with inhuman speed, she whips the tip of her sword to your neck instead* [b]Roles reversed?[/b]
-
"Or a draw." Royal said, his sword poking into Maya's stomach. "Perks of being able to summon weapons into your hands."
-
*her eyes become dark again and a raspy voice makes it's reappearance* [b]You think you're clever don't you?[/b] *she walks forward into your blade. Letting it impale through. Quick work of some shadows stunts the bleeding and she doesn't grimace once during the pain. Only stares at you coldly as she quickly whips her thin sword in a circle, whipping towards your wrist in order to cut the hand off*
-
"Woah!" Royal said, pulling his hand back and dropping the blade to the ground, which promptly disappeared. He took a few steps back, as two shadow access points opened behind Maya and tendrils wrapped around her arms, holding her back
-
*she laughed as jumped backwards, using an access point of her own to connect your two together, she fell inside and the access point closed with a solid [i]whump[/i]. She reappears again five feet above your head with her sword aimed down at you, ready to impale* [b]I'm not a nightmare yet. Don't get too scared.[/b]

Royal rolled forward, with Maya landing on the ground behind him. He spun around, throwing a knife towards her back
