"No ladies first? Okay, I'll oblige I guess." Renault's smile faded to a simplistic gaze that held some seriousness in it. He was still smiling in his psyche despite his almost stone visage. "Alright. Here goes!" His defensive measure was only to form his forearms and hands into sand. His first offensive measure of a slide of his foot forward. This action shot a jagged trail of ground slicing quakes and sandspouts toward the girl. If struck of course she'd suffer something less, but equally painful.

Elizabeth watched the ground crack towards her, her fingers held out towards Renault as she whispered a spell, enabling her to see her fingers. She rose into the air as she spoke, trying to minimise the effect of the quakes. As soon as she stopped muttering, strips of light spread out from her fingertips sliding around Renault, trying to trap his body. She was thrown to the side slightly by a sandspout, the surprise hidden by her cool facade as she rose into the air again, just inches off the ground.

Renault watched the light spread around his perimeter and smirked. He morphed his body completely into sand and sifted through the openings that were left by the strips. Appearing on the outside now, he became sand once again and flowed at her in a dazzling storm appearing behind her in his flesh state soon afterward. Not facing her, he stomped and two stone columns made a grab for her feet.

"This is... Quite idyllic", Elektro stated plainly, it was all he could think of to say. He couldn't be sure if Natalie's revealing of this place was a significant leap of faith on her part, or something else.
"So then, what did you have in mind for training?"

The light from the strips died as they turned into ropes, her vision blocked by the sand storm as she blocked her face with her arms. A spell worked its way out of her mouth as soon as she could see the ropes draped on the floor, a blue orb flowed around her and grating against the stone columns behind her. She spun around at the noise, taking a step backwards in the air letting the orb fully surround her before she landed on the floor. Blue shards from the temporary shield crashed around her, before her mutterings led to a chain of fire forming around Renault, completely enclosing him but not harming him.

"Oh, that's not good." Renault couldn't become sand because it would just get silicated. Instead, he chose solid rock and then rested against the ground. A wave of Earth pushed him forward at a good speed. A rocky ramp formed before him propelling him up toward Eliza. Hit or miss, he'd still have a following plan to both attack and remove his firey bonds.

Elizabeth smirked at his words, but her face quickly turned into a frown as she saw what he was trying to do. She paused for a moment watching him before moving away from his line of fire, looking down at her fingers for ideas. A smile rose as she glanced back up to the chain of fire, whispering and creating another ring of fire where she thought he was going to land. She made sure the flames weren't high enough to reach him, stepping back to see what would happen.

Renault once glossy smirk was now tarnished by the dirt and rock his body had become. Nonetheless, the smile meant he had some form of idea. He lifted a large plume of compacted dirt from where Eliza had made the ring of fire. Crashing through it, the fire of the whips encasing him were doused and instantly, Renault passed through them in the form of sand. Because he was still a plume, he floated down safely passing the ring of fire set for him. His eyes met the girl's hovering figure and he smirked in his sand form. Though she was formidable, he figured that he'd found her weakness finally. Getting to it would be the task. He stamped the ground again and a obelisk like protrusion thrusted him into the air where his ascent slowed and parallel to her. Renault manuvered his body upside down and shot his left arm forward sending three solidified fan-shaped blades at his opponent while, from the right side, sending a simple curved stream of sand at her torso.

Elizabeth's eyes widened ever so slightly as she watched Renault's actions, watching what he sent towards her. She frowned at his smile, losing height suddenly to try to dodge his attacks while muttering under her breath, sending a burst of air towards the pillar trying to knock him over. Her eyes flicked up to the blades still flying towards her, flying backwards to buy herself some time as she summoned another burst of wind, finally knocking them away.

Renault's pillar was smashed, though it only provided him smaller projectiles for the future. During his free fall, he spotted his opprotunity to strike what he thought was Eliza's weakspot when the sand blew backward, giving him some form of cover. He shot a small, pike-like stream of sand at the girl's mouth in an effort to seal it shut. He could somewhat see through the cloud of sand before him and thus could aim it as precisely as the sight would allow.

Elizabeth's gaze shifted from the blades to the sand she'd blown away, knowing Renault was behind it. She quickly dropped to the ground, knowing she didn't have enough energy to stay levitating while still using her spells. As she flew to the ground she kept her gaze on the cloud hiding Renault, starting to mutter again, her words speeding up as she saw the stream of sand heading towards her. She quickly rolled out of the way, her words disrupted as she looked up again to see if she'd dodged it.

Nasrin grinned darkly as she caught sight of the Mad Man. She never met him herself before, but she recognized him from Evie's memories of the night they became two in one body. "Mad Man...at last we meet." Nasrin purred, as if speaking to a long lost lover. "Twelve years ago you granted the wish of a girl named Evie, who wished for a constant compainion. I was that companion." She explained. It didn't surprise her that he did not remember creating her. If the numbers of Eden and Cleanse members were any indication, the Mad Man was a busy man. Pitty his gifts were not more fully appreciated. "I have waited twelve years to be released from my prison, so that I could find and serve you." Nasrin bowed her head lightly to the Mad Man breifly, before looking up at her creator. "What would you have me do. Or shall I prove myself first?" With her love of torment and death, surely there was someway she could help spread his madness in this world overrun by weak humans.

(God I wish my mp3 player would play my Plastic Beach album.)
Because there wasn't a counterattack, or at least an immediate one, Renault now knew what he had to do. He closed his eyes and allowed himself to land on the ground in a loud, deep thud. Seconds later though, he arose, his body covered in a slick, razor sharp shell of diamond. "Say hello to speed mode. If i'm right, then you have to speak to use your spells. If I'm wrong, on to the next plan." His white crystal teeth glinted in the sunlight, but his pause was shortlived for in seconds, he stood before the girl with his driving toward her chest. Due to his new design, there was very little wind resistance making him and his physical attacks much much faster.

((Lol at least yours didn't become corrupted for no reason whatsoever.))
Elizabeth was too surprised to hide the shock on her face, forgetting her spells to try to fly into the air before he reached her. She held up her arms defensively, managing to fly up before he slammed into her legs, forcing her to sumersault in the air and land roughly on the ground, spinning round to face him. She flew into the air once again, ignoring the new pain in her legs, staring down at him suddenly at a loss of ideas. She didn't have any spells for diamonds, and knew that her current spells would be useless.

(I just now realized that there are too many songs on mine. I don't get why that's stopping it from working.)
Looking at his hand, Renault found himself frowing. He didn't condone hitting females, even if the punches were pulled. He'd dwell on it later as he lost sleep. He finally admitted she had something over him though. She could leave the ground at will. He could only do so in his sand form. This provided a challenge. Using his terrakinesis, he lifted himself into the air atop a boulder and began to fly after her. He took aim and lifted his hand to shoot numerous diamond spikes at her.
