"I never really liked football. And so you know, I'm already on my way as we speak. My final life will have the benefits of a newfound power, so you may want to try and convince me to leave before then. Or do I have to destroy this entire forest?" The Damon who spoke grinned softly, while the other two stood idly by. "Besides, it would be rude of me to leave without letting our new friend have a turn in the fun. Right?" he asked, turning back to look in Dimor's direction. "Don't be so frightened, there's no need to hide."

Rei's eyes flickered tensely in Dimor's direction, some of her regular vision returning with the loss of a Damon; though it was still shaded and cloudy, so she stuck with Estrik's way of looking at things. She had been hoping the other person would simply stay where he was and be content with watching, however creepy that was, and not participate; she doubted he'd be of any help to Estrik or herself. This strange person definitely creeped her out, but in a very different way then Damon; the guy in black looked creepy, Damon just was creepy.
Dimor's hands clenched into tight fists and his own shadow seemed to quiver with eerie life. Frightened? Hiding? Why that ignorant little pest... In less than an instance, Dimor was reduced to nothing more than shadow. And in another moment, he had reformed from that very same darkness just behind all three Damons. He stood darkly, but held his place and did nothing, deciding how far he would let himself go. Maybe releasing some excess energy would be alright... he just couldn't kill them, or that would cause future problems.
The shadow Dimor's figure cast squirmed and weaved, reaching out the shadows cast by Damon and company. It seemed to infect and consume them, though this had no affect on the actual people; it was just something that happened when you were around Dimor.

"Well, for rudeness sake, I won't let him come out. It's just a pet peeve not being in control of my own flesh and blood," Estrik said, "And so I must bid you adieu." "I'm not exhausted, just tired, Rei. Just get me out of here," he said to Rei. Estrik did what might be called the most retarded dive of the day, then. He simply propelled himself forward with his legs and his mind straight into a tree, colliding into it with great force, effectively knocking himself out upon impact. The crimson nectar dripped down from his skull onto his face. Estrik's expression was one of madness, because, in essence he had won for at least another month.
Despite his slight incapacitation, his mind still sent out the signal; energy was abundant enough and the activity had been mostly an involuntary one. It didn't even shut off when he tried to sleep, so how would this be any different?

Before Rei could even reply to Estrik's thoughts, she was staring wide-eyed at his limp form. Utterly dumbfounded, all she could do for a moment was stand there. Just get me out of here... Rei shook her head to bring back her focus, now being forced to use her regular vision; it was more or less back to normal. As quickly as she could, Rei bent down and retrieved Estrik- her body morphed once again in the process- and slung him over her back, much like giving someone a piggy-back ride. His weight wasn't a large issue in this form, but flying would be awkward and difficult with the dead weight. 'Estrik... this wasn't the best situation you could have put me in... some warning would have been nice'
Warily, Rei backed up a few steps away from the Damons and man in black. There was only one thing left she could do; run. Literally. She spun around quickly, and the moment before running, said over her shoulder quietly "This isn't a surrender." Then she was off, sprinting with unnatural speed through the trees back toward the Academy.
Dimor's eyes narrowed on the retreating figures and then locked onto Damon; the one in the middle. He said nothing, simply held his chilling gaze on the ninja, as though awaiting to see what the child would do.

"Call it what you want. You tried to beat me, and now you're running away." Though none of the three visible Damons were actually speaking. The voice came from behind, and the three nearby Damons faded away, mere illusions. "You're only making it harder on yourselves. By the time we next fight, each of my lives will be well-rested and able to use the Nine Lives Jutsu themselves. It could get interesting with fifty-four of me to beat." He squinted at Dimor's back. "By the way, where's your mouth?"

The very tip of Dimor's fingers twitched and jerked randomly. This little show hadn't been worthless, but it was pretty darn close; Dimor despised those who wasted his time. His head turned to the side slightly so he could look at Damon when he spoke. Actually, he didn't speak, and didn't intend to; Damon didn't deserve the answer he wanted. His fingers jerked again, more obviously this time, and Dimor's shadow rose up from the ground. In only seconds, the darkness had changed from a shapeless figure to a demonic beast. It didn't appear to have any legs, simply melting into the shadows on the ground. It's jaw opened to reveal dark rows of teeth just in front of Damon. "Right there."
Of course, this creature was hardly a threat to anything. Dimor hadn't given it power, only form.

"How quaint." Berstunic glided over and landed on Damon's shoulder, inspecting the shadow creature. "I bet you get all the ladies." He placed his hands into a simple hand sign, used to build up his energy. It was for show, mainly. It usually gave the impression that he was doing something ominous, rather than simply gathering his willpower. "You can stay if you like, but I'm about to destroy this section of forest, so unless you have some sort of barrier, it's probably not a good idea." A chunk of purple stone formed in the air and fell to the ground, growing rapidly.

With another twitch of his finger, the Demon froze and then seemed to crumble down into shadowy nothingness. If one were to examine Dimor's shadow, one would be able to see long tendrils sprouting out and reaching for any shadows around it. Most of them never really got anywhere and simply weaved back and forth on the ground. Dimor turned to face Damon fully, arms hanging limply by his sides. He said nothing and went no where; if he really had to, Dimor could retreat safely into the shadows.

"Suit yourself." The mass took the shape of a cube, maxing out at a record of 50 tons. Of course, he had help this time. He grinned, then released his hold on the cube. An earth-shaking concussive wave of air formed, seeming to move in slow motion for a split second before rocketing out, tearing trees up from the ground. It also removed a large amount of the closest earth, gradually forming a crater. When it was all said and done, the nearest standing trees were just visible on the horizon, and the crater encompassed everywhere they had fought. Damon had been lost in the blast, though it didn't matter so much when it was merely a spare life. But the attack had utterly drained his current life and rendered his remaining five unconscious, meaning he didn't come back for the time being.

At first Dimor seemed utterly disinterested in the growing cube, but when it exploded, his white eyes widened by just the smallest degree. Right before the explosion of air hit him, Dimor 'sank' into the ground, becoming nothing more than a shadow that quickly injected itself into a natural shadow and seemingly disappeared. When the attack was over, A dark figure emerged from the scarred earth, very quickly taking on the shape of Dimor. Viola! It was Dimor, safe and unscathed. His white eyes scanned the surrounding area of what used to be forest. 'I'll be sure to keep my eye on this one' With one more look around, Dimor began to idly make his way through, across, and around the large gash in the earth, to measure the damage.

Berstunic formed from the shadows as well, soaring softly through the air to survey the damage. "It gets bigger every time," he thought. "But then, he only does it once in a blue moon."

When Berstunic appeared, Dimor stopped his steady pace to look up at the flying creature. 'I've seen it before... with the child...' Opening his hand, the Drow summoned his shadow blade, Yukemrin. Then with a series of gestures from his right hand, dusty slabs of stone created a makeshift stairway; each step he touch would crumble away after he left it. After going just a few meters from the ground, Dimor recoiled, and then released his arm, sending Yukemrin streaking toward Berstunic. Unfortunately, the blade wasn't aimed to hit the amphiptere, simply get its attention.

Berstunic flipped lazily around, avoiding the blade. "Don't waste your efforts. You can't kill me." He flapped down and perched on Dimor's head for a moment before gliding down to the ground. "Even if I could, I wouldn't be taken out by the likes of you."

Dimor jumped to the ground- choosing to ignore the creature's snide remarks- and let the earthen stairs crumble into dirt once more. Yukemrin simply reverted back into shadow somewhere up in the air. He gazed chillingly down at the winged reptilian creature. All was silent for a moment. Eventually Dimor's easily recognizable voice entered the air. "Where is he." Not a question, like always.

"Who, Damon? Beats me. He doesn't tell me where he's going sometimes. Sometimes he disappears completely, goes into gas form and spreads himself out until he's stretched too thin to be sensed. He may be here right now, but considering the energy it would have taken to produce a blast like that, it's likely he's resting up in one of his places."
