Erik jumped back from Daniel, maintaining his distance from the blade-swinger. If he stepped on a puddle, the surface solodified enough to hold his weight before becoming liquid again. Come on, one misstep. Just make one misstep!

There!
Daniel's foot brushed one of the puddles. It immediately shot out and adhered to the man's shoe, stopping him fast. The surrounding puddles sprouted pseudopods and started swinging at Daniel, trying to pin him down.

Erik landed on top of ne of the larger puddles. Now how are you going to get out of this one Daniel? If you don't, you're in for a shock.

"Heh." The shoe which had got caught by the liquid was loose enough that, after the first little second or two of trouble, he pulled his foot out quite easily with a jump/front flip, and he mearly continued once he landed on the next bit of arena, making sure not to miss any minute change in the surface of the liquid this time. (Details: He pushed on the ground with his free foot, causing the trapped shoe, which was already loose, to just slide off while he jumped away from the "liquid" (Which I think is a bit overpowering. Super-strength, super-speed, abilities that could seriously hurt anyone with pretty much anything less than demonic power/speed within seconds. >.> Oh well.))

((Well, he was made to incapacitate/kill guys like Matashi and Raphael, so he would have to be pretty powerful.))

Erik smirked as he saw Daniel escape his nanites for the moment. He jumped onto the arena floor, gave a signal, and the nanites resumed dissolving the floor, causing the puddles to grow again. Now there were only thin bridges between the puddles.

He gave the order for them to stop, then stepped back onto the nanites. He looked over to Daniel, currently on what was probably the largest piece of uncovered arena floor in the arena. "Give up yet Daniel? I can keep this up all day!"

(Ok, since you're being evil, I guess I can do something to make Erik second-guess himself. ^_^)

"Oh, you're so nice leaving all this room for me to run along." Daniel said, smiling.

Another small burst of demonic energy flew out, only to sink lower, into his legs. Daniel emit a burst of speed unlike anything before, perhaps even enough to unnerve his opponent.

'can't really keep it up for long, but I can keep going like this until I reach Erik. Then all I need to do is find a way to get him off that liquid.'

(and no, this isn't unfair. He can only maintain this speed for a little while, and look who I'm up against. >.<)

Erik smirked. "You know, there's one problem with moving that fast. It makes it very easy to trip." At the last word, a tendril of nanites shot out right over Daniel's left foot, hardening instantly to titanium strength. Right in front of Daniel was a pool of nanites. I have you now, Daniel. As soon as Daniel would hit the pool, it would engulf him up to the neck and immobilize him. Then I can pull my stunt :grin: .

"That's not nice." he said, stopping himself and then flipping backward and sliding off whatever it was attached to (Sock or shoe, doesn't matter really.) and then shot forward again. "You thought it would work this time? you've tried it a couple times already, so I know how to get around whatever it is."

With that, he jumped once more, landing on a small strip of land just left of Erik. "Now why don't ya fight me yourself instead of having all this here?"

(=P can't make him trip up that easily. He moved his right foot forward instictively when he felt himself starting to fall. and you basically helped him stay upright by having the nanites that hard, sturdying his left leg.)

Erik put his hands in his pockets and gave his opponent a smile. "Why fight yourself when the landscape will do it for you?"

At that moment, the nanites began to rapidly dissolve the spit of land Daniel was on as well as launching a large number of pseudopods at the man and dissolving almost all of the surrounding pieces of land.

"Ah, so basically you're saying 'why fight you myself when I can have something else do it for me?' right? If so, then you really are a kid hiding behind that little trick of yours."

Daniel didn't really like his odds of winning, nor the kid's view on the fight. 'Well, unless something happens that turns this around, I'm not gonna do too well.' he thought, jumping from the disolving land onto a strip of land that hadn't been disolved yet, and looked to see if there were any left besides that one. There weren't many, but there were a few. "Hey, can I get onto the grass, or would I be disqualified? I'll probably get outta here either way, but I just felt like asking." he asked Natascha without looking at her. He knew if he looked, that kid would probably take advantage of it and make it his loss that much faster.

Erik's smile vanished as he pulled his hands back out of his pockets. "I'm a soldier altering the battlefield to my advantage, but if you want me to fight all-out than fine!" Electricity arced along his armored right arm, growing to levels that were almost lethal.

"Eat this!" He slammed his armored arm into the nanites and a potent electrical current began to shoot through the nanites, arcing along the surface and over the islands of rock. As the current flowed he drew one of his swords with his unarmored hand, ready for his opponent's reaction.

"Fine, so long as you don't "Alter" any more. I don't really know if making the arena into an unfair advantage for yourself is against the rules, but I'm pretty sure that making the entire thing whatever this stuff is would be, since not many, if any, of the others can fly, would be." he said.

As Erik slammed his hand down, Daniel jumped high into the air to avoid the electric current. After he lands, his demonic energy shoots outward again, this time entering his arm. The demonic energy, instead of entering his arm, circled it in arcing shapes. "Well, if you're gonna attack me, come on, there isn't all that much land that I can jump towards you on." he said, looking around, and then back at him.

(If you don't know what he's doing, let me explain a bit more. Basically, he's an enhancement-type demon (Increases one attribute by decreasing another). When he's doing a strength-type enhancement, he can't really move very fast. That, coupled with the fact that Erik only left a few areas for standing, doesn't make Daniel's situation very good.)

((Oh, egging Erik on was a big mistake Bane.))

Erik's smile returned as Daniel landed while he was still maintaining the current. Two pairs of nanite columns shot up, surrounding the piece of land Daniel was on. Arcs of electricity shot between the pillars, creating a 'cage' around the landmass. At the bottom of the pillars, submerged in the pools, small electrical generators formed, producing enough electricity to maintain the current at its current levels.

Erik pulled his arm from the nanites and drew his second sword before jumping into the open-topped cage. He landed on part of a nanite pool in one corner. As he did so, almost-lethal levels of electricity could be seen arcing around the swords from Erik's armored arm and the short metallic claws of his unarmored hand. "Let's go." He shot forward, launching a barrage of slashes only visible due to the electricity crackling behind them.

Daniel knocked each of the blows down, albeit it slower than normal due to the enhancement he was using (Which ends in him taking some damage before knocking them away). After a while, he decides he'd not like to be on defence the entire time, launching a number of powerful slashes that flowed into one another (each of which are strong enough to send a normal human or low-class demon flying a couple feet back).

Ths new assault from Daniel forced Erik to back out of melee range. Then he pointed one of the swords at Daniel and launched a small bolt of electricity at the man. In my current state I'm going to have to keep my distance from him. I can't risk getting hit, especially with a blow like that.

An idea came to mind. He smiled again. Let's see how he handles this. He shifted into a defensive stance, waiting for Daniel to attack him.

Tobias sat on the bleachers and watched with extreme interest as the fight progressed "Jeeze, look at them go...They move as fast as someone I knew back in the 1930s..."

Raphael watched with interest as well "Yeah, they're moving pretty damn fast...I may actually break a sweat if I fight them..."

Daniel sidestepped the bolt, then watched as Erik's stance changed to a more defensive one. He saw it as a lure just as he was about to lunge straight at him, and instead tried a more tactical approach. He threw his dagger at Erik (pointing towards the leg, hoping to strike something to slow him down). 'If it doesn't reach him, it would at least break his stance long enough to attack' he thought, moving towards Erik swiftly, slashing downward and angling towards the right shoulder (Powerful enough to perhaps cut to the "bone", but not anything worse.)
