Welcome to Gaia! ::

Manndar had arrived early after just eating his breakfast. As soon as he arrived, Manndar went into the tree covered part of the arena and hid near the water supply. Manndar quickly set up no traps, but a place to hide his backpack filled with trinkets for the match.

Manndar today was not wearing a dark blue hoodie because his last one was damaged beyond repair in round one. So Manndar was wearing a grey zipper hoodie underneath the "bad a**" cloak he took from Dre.

With a surprise in store, Manndar had then secretly made a water clone to go out into the opening and await Forza. In order for it to look even more convincing than it already was, the clone came out running a lap around the treed area and the rest of the arena, making it look like Manndar entered the trees to start a warm up there. The clone then awaited Forza in the middle of the arena.

The clone returned the bow and smiled as Forza dipped his brush into the container.

Manndar's clone ran straight on for Forza, a very Manndar strategy to say the least. As the small amount of paint came toward him, the clone side stepped and kept running. The clone was going to try to punch Forza in the face and take his brush.

The clone dodged one of the blades, but clones are never as efficient as the original. Plus, it was running out of time anyways. So, the second one collided with the clone's stomach. The Manndar cloned stumbled towards Forza for one and a half staggered steps and fell forward in a dramatic fashion before it melted at Forza's feet.

Inside the puddle of water was a plastic bag with three exploding tags in it. The clone was just freshly shattered by the time the explosive tags went off. The explosion is a powerful one, but not deadly at Forza's range from it. The force of the explosion could send Forza backwards and into the air, maybe even cause some minor injuries from explosion debris and a possible rough landing. The main emphasis of the explosion was to separate Forza from his paint brush and ink..... That and Manndar enjoys blowing things up.

In the woods, Manndar was making handsigns.

As Forza smacked into the wall, a small black rain cloud formed over Forza's head and started to downpour black water in order to soak Forza with it. The substance wasn't particularly deadly, unless it was near flames. It is extremely sensitive to fire and will combust almost immediately. It was Manndar's "Black rain technique."

Manndar only wanted to soak Forza in it in case something would occur so Manndar couldn't see he could still hear the sloshing of soaked shoes..... Manndar never expected Forza to literally vanish.

The brush landed close to Manndar. After making sure no paint splattered on him, Manndar picked it up with a piece of a blanket and hid it inside a hole in a hollow tree..... Consider it a souvenir.

Manndar then silently climbed up the tree with his back pack. Manndar was in a rather creative mood today, so he decided to find out why Aona liked hiding traps so much...... Now, it was Manndar's turn to play the spider.

Manndar began to swiftly make his trap. It was incredibly simple. There was a net trap, and a simple trap that when Manndar pulled on his fishing line, it would trigger about a hundred senbon lightly coated with tranquilizer free falling straight down to the ground.

After this was quickly done, Manndar sat down in a tree and began to wait for Forza's next move. But something even more formidable was fighting Manndar at this moment, something he has the most trouble with in the entire village!!!.... His attention span. Manndar was bored by now. Really, really bored. He felt his heart pumping and the need for action began to convulse deep within it. He felt alive out there in the thick of things, not here in a tree. He desperately wanted to go out there and crack Forza hard in the face, but he had to learn self-control at one point in his life. Very, very shortly after he began his wait for Forza's next move, Manndar clenched his fists and his right eye lids began to twitch. He needed to do something...... Boredom is his biggest character flaw. It drives him nuts.

"Come on Forza!!!!" Manndar screamed inside his head. "I'm sooo bored!!!!"

"Now, this is what I was waiting for!!" Manndar yelled with excitement as Forza came near.

As soon as Forza was close enough to Manndar that Manndar could smell Forza's bo, Manndar jumped to the left and rolled. As he rolled, Manndar broke a piece of fishing line. Soon, a barbed weighted net fell down towards Forza.

((shouldn't you have stated before hand that it was just a clone. And if it was, wouldn't it have broken on impact with the wall? Also, how were you in the water. Unless you were underground, I should've been able to see you when I went to its shore next to the trees to make my water clone.))

"I was hoping you'd say something like that, Rembrandt!" Manndar yelled with excitement.

Manndar clearly saw Forza covered with earth, but that didn't matter. Manndar was going to test out this trick of Forza's. As Forza ran to Manndar, did a tiny forawrds hop to get his own momentum and threw a sidekick straight for Forza's chest. Armor may be strong, but it doesn't really do much to reduce the force of impact felt.

((They tested it on the discovery channel. There was this guy who put on a suit of armor, and they smacked him in the chest with a mace. It saved his life, but man did he complain about how it didn't do much to prevent the hurting. I laughed at that guy for awhile. rofl ))
