*Swallows and runs in front of who I was hiding behind.*
Honey, I'm hooooooooooommee~

*Blinks several times.* Good! Good. Nobody should panic.

And I'm sure you're all ecstatic to learn who it is.
*A strange, clear liquid fills the room of the playground where Storm is to the brim, lifting everyone inside to the halfway point between the floor and ceiling. It feels as if it's in a more liquidic state than even pure water. Despite it, everyone finds that they can breath perfectly, as if it were totally pure, crisp air. The feeling is slightly cold, similar breathing in cool air with little to no humidity. There is the scent of night lilies and spring rain, with a slight hint of something not dissimilar to chlorine.*
*Dark's voice is heard throughout the liquid, despite there being no vibrations in it, even when someone moves* Don't panic. This is just a part of preparing the new avatar for their role as Dark incarnate.
*The liquid slowly heats to a lukewarm state, and as it does it's color changes to a light teal. In a few moments the color seems to bleed into a single location, turning deep red as it converges on itself. After a few seconds the liquid begins to slowly drain, returning everyone to the floor and allowing air back in. Despite this, the color remains, and forms to the shape of a person as it does.*
*When the liquid is totally drained, the color begins to fade, revealing someone below it.*
Congratulations to all winners, but to one in particular.

Waiting on you and blitz.

Not anymore.
*A bell chimes in Dark's game and a voice is heard throughout the area.*
Congratulations to the nine surviving contestants! Please make your way to the winner's circle!
*The lights all go off and arrows light up on every wall, pointing towards a room.*

Darn. Anybody else from the Big X that might be able to help?

Give it five minutes. It should be healed by then.
