''That scared the crap out of me!'' Dhanthas started, audibly catching his breath. ''God, that face... aaagghhh, it nearly gave me a heart attack!''

''Incoming attack!''

Dhuradhan's warning immediately made me forgot about the pain in my back, which came from me, crashing into the the wall, probably a hundred meters away from the old man. Thankfully, the beam which caught me off guard, had no Side Effect, After Effect and it only served as a quick way to push me away from him. I didn't even have time to acknowledge the fact that I was flying towards a building! No wonder why I had a hard time at rolling away from his next attack...

There are moments, when you have to ignore the pain and survive. Well, this was a similar moment, as I made my way over to the abandoned houses to my left and collapsed onto the ground. My back hurt and I felt that I couldn't lean forward correctly. I can only thank Dhuradhan, for reacting in time and activating my Primary Armor. This caused my landing to only sprain my spine at a lower part and not fully break it. Also, as I mentioned earlier, beings like me have two or three times more than Mortals. So thanks to this little bonus, I was actually able to stand up and not waste my energy on blocking that next beam.

But even without that, I was so used to the pain, that I could live with a broken leg and get used to the agony in my leg over time. There ARE actually beings, who killed out the nerves in their bodies, so they can become the perfect fighting machines. And since I had my Golden Cross, these never-ending battles, physical influences, The Observers Eyes of the Sinner... yes, I am pretty sure that I could try to kill out the nerves from my body... at least from my fists.

But back to my situation. Dhuradhan helped me with the healing, since I wasn't good with that. Even with his help, I ended up using a lot of Light energy. I kept in mind to NOT make anymore mistakes, or I will run out of energy and the old man wins. I wanted to win! If not for the Mortals' freedom and The Balance in this world, then for proving that fool wrong! He thought he can kill me, now look at what I just did with his teammates. I know, Benders weren't for combat and they did their best to stay out of violence, but still...

They joined to this bad soul's plan and they deserved the death, no matter how weak they were against me...

I stepped out from behind the houses and saw the old man looking really pissed. He was my opponent, just as strong as me, if not stronger. I knew that if I will kill him, then there will be no shame in it, nor pity. Our fight will be fair...

Well, considering what YOU find fair in a fight, when you're in this world...

''God damnit, boy!'' He shouted, sounding somewhat clearer than the last time I heard his voice. Probably the healing on his neck... ''Do you have any idea, how much time I spent on finding these students of mine?! How hard it was to bring them in here?! I do not care about formalities anymore! Fuck you! You hear me?! Fuck! You!''

I let out a short laugh. ''Mahhahha, I take you don't want to tell me how the Hell did you manage to bring FOUR FUCKING Benders with you! Though... I feel special because of this! That, and their special powers will serve me great advantage in the near future, because YOU, TATTER, are going to HELL!''

''It is Markhar for you, you worthless bastard! You are a dead person!'' He pulled down his hood, revealing his bold head.

Maybe it was my imagination, but his head glimmered once, as it reflected the sun. I found this amusing enough to let out a short laugh and get into fighting stance. ''Hahha! I'll gladly send you to the Grim Reaper!''

And that was that moment, when the fight started...

Markhar, as he called himself, was the first one to move. A regular beam, which I avoided by running to the right. But that beam was just a distraction, to trap me with another one, which was visibly stronger. But I still had enough time and space to roll to the left and resume running towards him.

He sent two beams, both the size of his hands and parallel to each other. They came too fast to move to one side, so I went through between them, doing a cart-wheel and keeping my momentum. His next attack was a purple line, which would have hit me in the chest, but I went down to one knee, leaned back and closed the distance between us, by sliding up to him and on the dusty ground. As I stood back up, I grabbed some dust from the ground and blinded him with it, before he can do another swipe with his hand, sending another line of energy at me.

He staggered backwards and I launched myself up, delivering a precisely aimed punch to his left cheek. Due to rotating my fist inwards, he grunted, as he felt his jaw moving out of its place slightly. There, I got to know that he has a Primary Armor too, but at least I dealt him some damage. Also, it brought me a bit of pleasure, since I really wanted to punch him like that...

I jumped towards him, turning my body into his direction with my left leg, as I was about to kick back his jaw to its place. But he had collected enough energy inside him, to let go of an Outburst, which sent me flying away from him. I landed on my feet, swiftly crouched down and stood back up, so the landing won't damage my leg muscles. He just cleared out his eyes from dust, when right in front of him and in the air, I was delivering him a finishing blow, with my right hidden blade.

He surprised me, when he leaned away and delivered two hits to my back. He probably thought it was still damaged from my crash-landing. But I still felt it, though. It would have dealt some damage, if not for my Primary Armor. Then again, he surprised me, because he didn't just countered my attack, but tried hand-to-hand combat! Either he thought big about himself, or he didn't take my protection into count...

I interrupted him after his second punch, by spinning around to him, right Combat Blade slicing towards his face. He jumped back, only managing to make a small cut on his face and getting blood onto my blade. While he placed a hand onto his cut face, checking how deep the cut was, I moved the blade to my lips. ''This should come in handy...'' And I licked down the blood, not wasting any time on memorizing its type, nor its taste. I soon felt a small energy refill, after my body processed the newly received liquid and energy source.

If I haven't told you, blood is a source of energy for me. Since that vampire girl turned me into one and my Dark powers turned the vampirism into cannibalism, meat serves me as a healing method. Let it be an animal or a Humanoid, both does its job...

I grinned at Markhar, who frowned at my grinning expression. Blood tends to make me grin, letting the world see my sharper-than-a-Mortal teeth.

He let out a battle cry and sent another line of energy with both arms, making an X shaped attack coming towards me. The taste in my mouth gave enough bravery, to fall back down onto my back, letting the X shaped projectile go ever me, cutting up the ground next to me. I was laughing, taunting him even further.

My tactic was to make him use away his energy, before I start using energy to attack him. Meanwhile, he would reveal more technique, so I can memorize them and MAYBE use them one day...

I rolled to the left, avoiding another line of energy, which was a vertical slice down onto the spot, where I originally was. Just as I stood up, I leaned away from a smaller beam, missing my head and backflipped away from a square shaped object, made out of his purple energy. He tried to crash me with that thing and I felt the energy inside it. He put a lot of it into his attack, just as I wanted him to do.

He snarled and created a small orb in his hand, which he threw into the air. I readied myself, keeping an eye on him too, if he tries something while that orb in the air activates. The orb exploded and out came several other small orb, falling down onto the ground. A Timer as a Side Effect and Crumble for the After Effect. I was impressed with his amount of energy. Timing the moment of an explosion on an orb, filling it up with energy to create that many piece out from that small orb? It requires a LOT of energy and concentration. And even if he had a LOT of power, it still required focus.

Either he wasn't that angry to lose his focus, or these tricks are coming out from his little finger like nothing...

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

The area around us was a mess. The otherwise wide and clear area, with nothing else but some old and broken-down buildings on the side of that free area, now became twice as a big! My plan on 'getting to know him better' started to take its toll on him, as he just lost TOO MUCH energy. I kept on dodging and evading from his attacks, which were mostly the same and he didn't really show me anything new. Only combined Side Effects with After Effects, using that line of energy - which I think it was some sort of Slice - and that was pretty much it.

Now, he was panting and looked worn out. Like last time, when I first saw him. I had no idea how he managed to stay on his feet after like... 30-50 attacks maybe? And when we first met, he was exhausted from just three beam. Maybe he got tired of finding me? I don't know, but he used away his powers and that was what I was waiting for...

I was leaning against the wall of an abandoned building. Even if he kept on getting closer to me, as we made our battlefield larger, I was the one who moved the most. Even if I don't count the dodges and evades, I probably made a 2 Km long distance, with all the jumps, rolls, running and flips. While he? He just casually walked towards me, which lead us to one end of our fighting area. Behind him the free area and my back against the wall of a building, which haven't received any damage from us, since we just arrived there...

I was grinning at him, even after all this time. But seeing that he doesn't get angry anymore from that, I let my mouth to go back to its normal form, showing that signature line, which greets everyone who sees me. ''Why don't you go and take a nap, grandpa?'' This came out rather hard, since I'm not used to speaking like those teenagers, so I changed back to my normal speech. ''You were already defeated, when you just THOUGHT about taking over this world. Look me in the eye and tell me if you cannot see the energy inside me. You are exhausted and alone. You are NOT the type of soul, who does not require the help of someone else. I won on my own and still have a backup... which is pretty much this whole planet and world.''

He didn't say anything, just kept on catching his breath and frowning at me. I sighed and folded my arms before myself. ''You chose the wrong world to mess with... and the wrong soul to fuck with. I am The Avatar, The Balance in this world... and YOU, disturbed The Balance.'' I lowered my head, glaring at him. ''The fight is over...''

He stayed silent for a few more seconds, before straightening his back. When he started smiling, an unfamiliar energy appeared inside him. I couldn't tell if it was his original, Dark, Light or any kind of other energy. It was something that I have never encountered before. Hell, even the amount of energy of that power remained unknown for me!

''No, it is not.''

My head felt like it did a backflip and I couldn't find any directions to look towards all by myself, because something else decided for me where to look. I didn't know where was up, nor down, but a moment later, I felt the hard floor under me, along with some debris. At the same time, I thought I was going to say goodbye for my last-eaten food from my stomach, thanks to something really big, hitting me on the stomach. Actually, after hardly remembering back to what happened, for a short second, I could see four limbs, made out of earth and literally turning into me. They came so quickly and without enough space to get so much momentum to break me through the wall of that building, that I found it impossible. I couldn't dodge it, nor block it...

Dhuradhan quickly started to easy the pain in my bones, while I regained awareness. Looking up from the floor, I heard the wall falling apart above that spot, where I once stood, thinking that the fight was over. Quickly crawling backwards, it landed in front of me, creating a bigger hole on the building.

From behind the dust, I noticed some faint light and heard the sound of flames erupting from somewhere. And with that, two flame ball destroyed the remaining of the building's under side, the only two spot which provided stability and prevented the building from falling apart. The whole thing started to lean forward, the walls behind me giving out and the building started to collapse on top of me.

Primary Armor drastically increased, I moved to a more stable position and braced myself for impact. Rumblings all around me, preventing me from hearing under the process of the demolish and blindly standing under the two-story building, I waited for it to stop moving.

Surprisingly, I had enough room to make my way up to the top of the building, crushing bricks, boulders or slipping through some tighter parts. My clothes got cut up at a few places and I think even my eyes had a massive layer of dust too. The dust was simply everywhere and I had to double-check everything, since my eyes couldn't make out a difference between a pipe or a chunk of wall. But I didn't care about where I placed my legs and hands, nor how far was I from the surface, I just ignored my blindness and kept on going up.

I was forced to bash the last chunk of wall with my head, since it's prevented me from reaching the top of the demolished house and getting to the surface. This, of course, took me some extra energy and not just physical one. Thankfully, I had experience with channeling the energy in the Primary Armor to a certain point, so I didn't have to use THAT much energy for a whole stronger armor. This also makes me more than the average powerful beings, because this little trick usually proves to be difficult for them.

And that also meant that I was forced to do these, which meant a lot of dangerous moments... that's is my life, pretty much...

I picked myself up and took in some well-needed breath, then cleared my eyes. That simple motion reminded me about that time, when I threw dust into his eyes. Now, he repaid that ''favor'', three times worse...

This caused me to quickly turn towards him, as he stood near the remaining of the building. I had to narrow my eyes to see him, when he started to move. Pointing his shaking arms towards the debris, he suddenly raised it up and pointed it towards me, which looked like he was dragging something. I felt the building under me moving slightly to my left and I turned my head towards that direction, just to see some sort of big worm emerging from the debris.

My eyes widened in surprise, when I saw what it was made out of. Two plane piece of wall making up its mouth, while many bricks and chunks of wall creating the rest of its body. I started running down from the debris, as the worm raised its body and tried swallowing me, by pouncing at the spot where I stood. After some time, I started sliding down the building, the earth worm chasing after me, as it launched out of the debris and sinked back. It was like a dolphin, doing jumps out from the water... but this dolphin wasn't even alive and wasn't even in the water!

I landed and rolled away from the incoming worm in the air. It shattered to pieces of debris, as it hit the earth ground. Before I could just stop and try to came up with the answers about the previous events, I heard the water moving, like I heard it when the Water Bender was using it. Turning to my left again, I couldn't believe it...

A water tentacle, with the width of a car and the length of a lamp post, was moving behind Markhar, its ends facing towards me. The old man's hands were raised up and the tentacle reacted to the motions of his arms. Again, my thoughts were interrupted, as the water tentacle came towards me, with surprisingly quick movement.

I ran towards it, then dodge it by jumping over it. Landing with another roll, I was about to reach him, when I found myself slowly sliding back. I tried fighting against it, but Markhar and his wind managed to win this round. I was on my heels, when he pushed the air with both hands, making the already harsh wind to blow me away violently. I rolled a few times, but not on my own this time, but where the wind blew me and how it blew me. Let it be on my sides, on my back or head, I couldn't stop it for a long time. Only after a hundred meters away from Markhar, I managed to plant my limbs on the ground and launch myself into the air.

In the air, I prepared for a shot with my Sniper-Mode on my right bracelet. An earth wall stopped the bullet from my headshot, but at least I managed to put a short break before his next attack and allowing me to think up a plan...

I landed and quickly refilled my lungs with air, as I raised my arms up while inhaling and let them fall down while exhaling. I dusted myself off, adjusted my gear on myself and I was glad that my rifles were still with me. Gear checked, hidden guns, rifles and pistols reloaded, I let my mind race through my few or less options...

''All. Four. Fucking. Element... are you fucking kidding me?!'' I cursed inside my head, voicing out my opinion about the situation for my two selves.

''He better not be a fucking Bender!''

''Benders could only bend one element and their additional elements. Markhar must be a Mage, who learned to bend the nature, but with the cost of his energy. And I take it you noticed how his energy level remained the same... his elemental attacks will not exhaust him any time soon...''

''Without tuning the Benders powers, I can't use those abilities. I only have their amount of energy... which I already used away, thanks to him.''

''Alright, you showed him how fast you are. Now show him how dangerous you are with offensive techniques. You used away your energy by just ''getting to know him''. What the fuck are you waiting for? For the perfect moment to ask him out? Fuck him already!''

''Think about Dhanthas' words as metaphors. You played around enough... the time has come to finish this fight. You have urgent matters to take care of anyways.''

The earth wall before Markhar was lifted up from the ground and got sent towards me, flying at high speed...

I hung my head for a second, collecting my thoughts. Dhuradhan was right, I had more important things to take care of. Just thinking about how many Mortals had fled from the area, watching the fight in shock from the distance... indeed I had other important things. And the only thing stopping me from worrying about those, is an insane, old man, who won't be just sent into Hell, but get tortured ten times worse than any other being!

''The date of your death has been marked, Markhar...''

I extended my right arm and my fist crushed the earth wall, creating enough dust around me to hide myself. It was time to bring out the big guns and not just literally...

I released 10 bullets from my rifle, put it back to its place and extended my right arm. I felt a little tingling sensation in my right shoulder and I knew that the shadow-like marks appeared under my clothes. Soon, black smoke, which look more like shadows, slowly started to seep out of my shoulder and through the clothes. They twirled around my arm, crawling up to my wrist and finally reaching my hand. There, they spread to two direction and soon my Ultimate Weapon merged together in my hand.

The Scythe...

This is that certain scythe, which I acquired from Death itself. The Grim Reaper, who is now the Ruler of Hell, let me keep it, since I found better use of it and I willingly freed him from his misery. He never asked for such destiny... taking away souls and seeing the sadness and suffering in the eyes of his ''victims''. And well, back then I was pretty sure that I was going to kill a lot, so I became Death itself. But, I wasn't really into that destiny and simply ignored my ''duty''. And actually, Lucifer forced the Grim Reaper to drag innocent souls down to Hell as well, so when I freed him from those ''chains'', Lucifer had no control over me and I used the scythe on my own will.

The Grim Reaper actually helped Celestia to pull me back from death. He was supposed to bring me before Lucifer, to make sure that I won't be next to The Light. He would have tried to make me side with him and destroy the Mortal life, then The Light. And I'm pretty sure if I would have said no, then he would have locked me away and wouldn't let me die, but make me suffer.

If an Avatar dies, a new will born somewhere in the world and that would have been a problem for Lucifer...

So not only for Celestia, but I owned my life for the Grim Reaper... if only I could pay them back...

Back to my situation, I grasped my Ultimate Weapon tightly and brought it to my right side, preparing for a rush. Its handle was made out of a larger spine, which allowed my weapon to bend slightly. Therefore, it was possible to use it as a hook and to make it longer a bit, since the bones could become flexible if I wanted. After all, that scythe was a part of me...

Between the joints and the vertebrae, shadowy looking Dark energy pulsed, worked, moved and added some faint light around it. But since I was in the sunlight, I couldn't see its light, only the glimmering of the silver like color on those clean bones...

The head of the thing was where the fun stuff happened. Indestructible, flexible and metal like attachment at the meeting point of the blade and handle, with silver color. That combined with the front side of a skull at the base of the blade and the whole head was turnable in a 90 degree. Therefore, it wasn't just a scythe, but a spear too if I wanted! Also, that skull on the base moved with the head of the blade, acting like a gear and it symbolized a situations' certain scene...

When the weapon was a scythe, the skull could be seen vertically and that meant the presence of Death, which meant the waiting of a soul's death. And when the weapon was a spear, the skull was in a horizontal position, which meant that Death will strike soon...

Also, there were some ancient carvings on the base, not letting the area around the skull to be plain. The blade had no decoration, only a deadly and plain blade. And at the handle's lowest part, a slightly pointed attachment, which could stab something with some more strength.

''Yeheeesss, I can make love to that baby.'' Dhanthas simply loved that weapon and not just because of its look. No, he enjoyed watching me when I used it and in a way, I can understand him in that... the weapon was a beauty of destruction...

''Later. This girl is going to have a wild round with THAT soul!''

''Changing to offensive, Dhanthas!''

''With fucking-pleasure!''

I wasted no more time and stepped out of the dust, only to see an earth wall again, shielding him away from the bullets I had sent. Also, the water tentacle had the head of a dragon. I assumed he was showing of what he can, trying to make me uneasy.

Well, it didn't work in the slightest and only made me want to acquire his energy, his powers, killing that water dragon as well and him, in the most terrible ways and finally... stealing his soul and locking it away in The Scythe.

With increased speed from my energy and didn't spending my focus on keeping it invisible, I started running towards him. This time, my legs gave out audible sounds, not like when I was fighting against the Benders or when I was dodging his attacks. No, this time, I was a tank and I WAS going to crush him!

He sent the earth wall at me and I jumped up into the air. I had enough momentum to make my jump big enough, to land on top of him. As I brought the scythe up above me and held it with both hands, I saw him looking around and finally spotting me. I could clearly see his eyes widening and him visibly twitching once in place, due to his shock. But he came to his senses quickly and brought an earth layer around him, thinking that it would protect him.

Hehh... it didn't.

I brought my weapon down onto the layer and it crushed under the force I put into that hit. The energy from my scythe sent a wave around the area where I slammed the blade down, clearing away the dust. I got a clear view of the old man, but he avoided from a swing from the left side, by sliding himself away on the ground, using Earth Bending and Air Bending to keep him on his feet.

I was still in the air, but I knew better than landing on the ground, probably missing the opportunity to attack and to let him hurt me with the ground itself. After all, everything was dangerous around me, even the air itself...

So, sending a bit more energy behind my Primary Armor, I Dashed at him. And what do you know, the man fell onto the ground, cut in half from a swing from the right with one hand!

But I wasn't about to celebrate already, because after I checked the corpse, it slowly cracked and turned into an earth man. Then, as its skin was replaced with sand and earth, it fell together, leaving a pile of dust in its place.

''Are you fucking kidding me?!'' Dhanthas pretty much voiced out my opinion, while I started to get annoyed from my lack of progress...

I looked around and soon found it worthless. Being a bit impatient and instead of struggling with simple eye sights, I activated the Soul Window for my eyes, making my right eye to turn green and my left one to turn blue. Also, I focused on feeling his energy as well and before I knew it, I felt where he was...

Underneath me...

I started to have a new-found hate towards a thing, which never betrayed me in my life. The ground...

Again, I found myself in a tight place, this time actually not knowing where I was. I tried looking up to see which direction he was dragging me by my legs, but the brown textures gave me little information and blinded me even further. Also, I couldn't look down to catch a glimpse of him, so I can search for a solution for my situation. But no, he did unexpected turns under the surface and I felt like the walls were getting tighter, squeezing me.

Suddenly, I was out in the sunlight again and I didn't waste time on spotting him finally. I was upside down and in the middle of a throw, as he grunted from my weight. I waited for the moment to let go of me and when he did, I used Dash to slow down myself and sent the scythe out towards him. I wasn't about to hit, I just wanted to have my scythe attached into the ground.

I fully stopped in the air and pulling once on the out-stretched scythe, I sling-shotted myself towards him with both legs. I stomped down his breath back to his lungs, by planting my legs on his neck. I audibly heard him struggling for air and I used this for my advantage.

I held the scythe to help myself land on my feet and skipped right in front of him, bringing the scythe from my right side. I made it spin around in front of me in a horizontal position, dealing one slice to the old man's chest. I used the scythe's centripetal force, to accelerate it up above my head and delivering several more cuts to his head. I haven't seen blood after those cuts, but I kept going. I knew he received the damage and only his Primary Armor prevented the cuts to get deeper than a small scratch.

I brought down the scythe's blade, as it was just about to be next to my head, giving it more speed to deal more damage. And using the momentum of the head, it proved to be effective, as the old man cried out in pain, a really long scar left behind after my attack. From above his left eye, all the way down to the right side of his waist, it let the blood to get out and distract him. Finally, it was a more serious blow...

Bringing the scythe up and starting to spin it up, I changed its position from left to right and repeated the process, cutting him at several other places in an 'X' shape. After that, I stopped it and swiped him from the left and right, before spinning it around me once to speed it up. When it was in front of me again, I span around and sent him away with a momentum-gave, powerful swipe, adding extra energy into it.

As he landed on his back, a few meters away from me, I was already above him, penetrating his skull. I even twisted the blade for good measure, but that did nothing, but made him turn into water and survive with those cuts I gave him a moment ago.

And suddenly... water dragon...

I didn't have time to breath in before its impact, so I was left with my current oxygen inside its mouth. I decided to struggle for a few seconds and act dead, so he would let me free and I can spare some energy too. I could have just done an Outburst or hardly swim out from its body, but I needed my energy. My energy level was about halfway down and the physical injuries required energy to heal them up. That meant less than half way energy level when I get out of the dragon's inside!

Also, situations like these tend to drain your energy as well, so either way... I was losing both my energy and the battle...

It finally spat me out and I was forced to harden my Primary Armor to not break my bones. Again, energy wasting and I had no clue how to damage him. My speed rarely worked against him, since after dealing too much damage, he would just turn into earth or water. Hell, I was pretty sure he could turn into other elements... and just pretty much anything, considering that he was a Mage...

I know little about other kind of attacks, like Illusion or such tricks and my physical attacks didn't help me. Yes, I could have tried using my speed against him and slowly making him weaker, or letting him use away all of his powers by trying to dodge his attacks. But he wouldn't take the bait, he had a slowly-decreasing energy level, I had much lower energy level and the whole area was against me. Everywhere I turned, I saw danger. Earth, water, air, these were against me.

I felt worried about this fight's outcome...

''What the fuck is wrong with you?!'' I heard Dhanthas, knowing how I felt about the situation. ''You were usually a die-hard, unstoppable mother-fucker, who cared less about how stronger the enemy was. YOU KILLED TWO LEADER FOR FUCK SAKE!''

''I may have not been here for too long and I have not seen what you did, only heard it. You indeed defeated two powerful beings in a row. And they were not just any kind of beings, but godlike ones.'' Added Dhuradhan, helping out Dhanthas.

''I have no approaching path for this man. My energy is running out... let me think...'' I told them, then tried to think of a way to defeat Markhar. I went through many cheap attacks and tactics, but all of them got thrown out of the window, when I ended up at the same thought.

His ability to turn into an element...

''Well you better be fast or be dead! I would say you should release all Hell and outright break him with all your energy. I still can't believe that you're trying to save energy... back then, you just went through anything and now all of these tactics and shit...'' As Dhanthas said that, I immediately got an idea.

And idea, which was rather insane...

''Dhanthas...''

''What?''

''Your turn...''

Side Effect: Timer

When you let go of a shootable or separable attack, you give it a 'Timer'. this timer only works, if the attack doesn't make contact with anything and doesn't have a destination. When the Timer reaches that moment, when it has to activate itself, this Side Effect brings the attack to its next phase. If the attack doesn't have an After Effect, then it vanishes, since the next phase of it is nothing...

When you prepare a Timer, you have to place a certain 'layer' into your attack. As the attack loses energy, there will be nothing left but that 'layer' and inside that layer, the intact After Effect. When the layer has nothing to be covered with, it disappears and lets the After Effect to activate.

The longer you want to delay the After Effect (Or the end of that attack, which is energy wasting and you can't do any harm with harmless layer...), the more energy you have to use. If you want to make sure, that your Timer wont activate sooner (Something touches it accidently.), then bury it inside more energy. (This is also a way to increase the time before it activates...)

***

After Effect: Crumble

Send out a shootable attack and give this After Effect for it, to split it into several small pieces. It is useful to make the target confused, since a falling object falls uncertainly...

REQUIRES: Side Effect - Timer

When the Timer activates and lets out the timed energy, it will fall to pieces. The more energy you put into it, the more pieces you can separate it/ the bigger the pieces will be or stronger/ or both! (You can separate the energy to two big pieces or into ten smaller ones.) Also, the more energy you put into it, the more damage they deal and the harsher objects they can survive, if it gets in their way...

How to make it: When filling up the shootable object with energy (An orb, beam etc...) , you fill it up in parts (Easier, but slower process...) or you can imagine the energy to split up inside the Timer's layer. (harder, but faster process...)

WARNING: Using it in a beam, which is moving fast, the crumbles won't follow after the beam's previous path. The beam disappears and the pieces will fall DOWN, not forward!

***

Slice:

Using your energy and swinging your arm, hand or leg, you can send a sharp projectile towards your enemy. The length and width depends on how much energy you put into the attack and you also have to make it strong, so it will actually SLICE the enemy and not just hit them. You can make a really long and really thin line, but that needs to be strong, so it will actually cut the enemy. (And you can make a really short and really tight line, to make it look like a square or something like that, if its ends aren't curved. Warning: making it too short [No more than an inch.] tends to end up as a Bolt!)

And because of these, you just have to imagine a blade coming out of your limb and going towards your enemy with its sharp side...

Using a blade and sending a Slice from that makes EVERYTHING easier! You don't have to really imagine the shape of a sharp edged something, going towards the enemy. The blade already just made up the shape! (Only works with sharp weapons! Hammers and other blunt headed weapons just makes the whole attack harder...)

Ultimate Weapon:

Every being like Balance has a big weapon, which they use for great fights. The weapon is part a of them and it needs to be summoned to use it. You can either find a weapon to your fancy, earn it or make yourself one. (Making yourself one requires Binding! It also takes energy to summon those weapons!)

Dash:

At any position, this technique allows the user to change position without moving. Using the energy from inside you, you shift it to one direction with high speed and pretty much pull yourself to one direction. It can be used to push you too... (Example: You want to Dash forward. You shift the energy forward at the front side of your body, that means you pull yourself. Or, you can shift the energy at the back side of your body, to push yourself forward. Both can be used at the same time and if you use both, then you won't feel sick after a Dash.) Since a friendly, but still sensible force makes contact with your body and INSIDE the Primary Armor, it can deal damage to YOU too. So if you're not prepared for a Dash, it can cause you to vomit (If you pull yourself.) or hurt your back (If you push yourself.). Using both is the safest option, (Push and pull yourself at the same time.) since your body stays still inside the Primary Armor and your organs won't feel like you're on a roller coaster.

Warning: Be careful where you use it and how much energy you put into it. If you're lying on the ground and Dash to one direction, which is not upwards, then it hurts your skin, as you drag yourself or slide yourself on the ground. But if your Primary Armor is strong enough, then it won't do any harm, just absorbs energy from you, since the Primary Armor takes damage...

Using it in mid-air is advised, since its easier...

And be careful how much you put into that Dash, you don't want to slam yourself against a wall by accident...
