Cain had been pounded thoroughly into the earth, but that was ok. For Cain, this was merely a new strategy. He calls on the earth, completely covering himself with rock. He looked like the huge earth golems that shambled around the canyons of his home world. The magnums bullets simply bounded off the armour, and Cain teleported, rock and everything, behind Donny and began hitting him with his earthly fists, causing far more damage than his normal h2h attacks.
This supernatural fire was becoming bothersome. Sinistar, retaining it's giant mouth of a body, was involuntarily breathing in the flames, causing more internal pain. But Sinistar realized something. As it could manipulate the fires of the volcano in it's last match, so too it would be likely that it could control these flames as well. The giant mouth grinned at Balan and then suddenly, it spat the fires back at him. At the same time, the face became smaller and smaller, twisting and turning until it resembled a flamethrower, hovering in the air.
This concentrated the fires so that they would be unbearable on contact. This of course was hurting Sinistar as well, but pain was irrelevant. What was more important was the fact the the flames were slowly destroying it's body. The fires were stopped, and the flamthrower turned into a missile, which flew a distance away, in slow circles, as if taunting Balan.
Balan finally regained control of himself, pulling himself back to the fight at hand. That psionic attack had very nearly ended his life, and Balan didn't know what would've happened if Jerixil hadn't been there. Even now, looking at Sinistar caused a spike of fear to shoot through Balan, and while he had managed to get it under control, Jerixil threatened to take over again. The Binding held, however, and at least Jerixil could still use the fear to their advantage.
Jerixil watched as Sinistar removed his flames once again. Quite clever. As the Sinfire roared towards him, the one armed demon made a gesture, splitting the stream of flames around himself. He noted with annoyance that the monster had managed to concentrate them to the point they would even harm their creator. This Sinistar was truly an opponent to be feared. But there were still a few tricks left.
Jerixil raised his only remaining arm, and instantly his second weapon was grasped in it. At first it appeared to be a simple staff, but a closer observation would reveal the nearly invisible blade leaning down the scythe. When Jerixil swung it, shadows danced across the battlefeild as he simply ripped the life from the fires that surrounded him. Rather than wither and die, however, the flames turned black and reversed their earlier behavior: the flames now drew heat from their surroundings. With a second swing, the flames congealed into a solid mass that no longer even resembled fire and launched themselves at the circling missile that was Sinistar's current form. Balan vaguely wondered, as Jerixil launched the attack, whether the shock of rapid cooling would have any affect on Sinistar's recently burning body.
Xanatos lowered his hood and spread his wings, tossing his hair. With no one around to look at him, he would take the opportunity to stretch out and not be so mysterious. The large blast came from one direction, and out of all the contestants still in play thus far, the hybrid was certain of only two individuals that could have launched such a strike, though their methods would likely have been very different: The summoner, Balan, and the metallurgic creature known as Sinistar. He wondered how his newfound ally was holding up against the extraterrestrial terror, and he had vague interest in the battles between Cain and Donny, and Zero and Jackie, though there was less concern for either result of those matches.
"Let's just take a look-see," the hybrid murmured to himself, and he walked towards the wall that blocked the area of the massive attack. His fingers glided over the surface, as if searching for imperfections in the design. A smile passed over his lips for a moment, and he pressed his hand against the wall, dragging it across surface at eye level. The wall was wiped away like so much dirt under a napkin, and Xanatos laid his eyes upon a very peculiar scene. It appeared as though Balan, or what he assumed to be Balan, had taken on a demonic form, and seemed to be manipulating some sort of objects, while a familiar metallic missile was soaring around the arena.
Xanatos reached behind his back and withdrew one of his two Desert Eagles, raising up to the clear screen of a wall. It took only a moment to track the trajectory, and to conemplate just how things would play out afterwards. Pintar hadn't really been specific in laying down rules, after all. He fired the gun in three quick successions, three bullets leading the circling missile. He activated the psionic trigger within each bullet, and the slugs boosted forward, on their predicted trajectory, each ready to slam into Sinistar at speeds thrice past the sound barrier. The hybrid was curious to know if the metal monstrosity would be able realize that he was struck through the solid wall behind him, the translucence only apparent on Xanatos's side.

Pintar zapped the bullets away like he did with his contestants then opened a strong barrier around Xanatos to make sure he does not attack and aim at someone again "Have you lost your mind this is a fight between these two fighters have you no respect for the other fighters
__________________ The pain grows when you know you've done good for your whole life and to balance it and for the rest of your life you must live with being cursed and filled with darkness
He spun the Desert Eagle on his finger for a moment before holstering it and giving a small shrug and a scoff. "Oh come now, you don't really think I would do something that could dramatically alter the match, do you?" he replied to the bodiless voice of Pintar as he observed the barrier, "Doubt it would've done anything to him anyway, guy's pretty strong." With little else to do, Xanatos folded in his wings once again and donned his cloak and hood. If this was how Pintar wanted his little game played, then he would play nice. For now, he thought to himself, and a smirk passed over the hybrid's lips, the kind of look that comes from knowing something others don't. I'll becoming for you soon, Pintar...

She started moving slower than normal and Jackie didn't understand why but he chalked it up to her being merciful and for that Jackie would enjoy this fight much more knowing that his opponent had a sense of honor and good heart. She chucked a piece of the floor at him to gain his attention but he kept his eyes on his opponent and decided to roll with the attack as she disappeared from his front. His head flew back once the floor made contact but at the same time he jumped off the ground and did a hurricane kick (Street Fighter style!) to cover all sides of him in case she would attack from whatever angle.
Zero couldn't believe the man jumped over her attack and whats worse he used a move straight out of a video game...Here I am trying to be nice and not chop his freak'n head off and the arrogant punk doesn't take me seriously, she thoughtto herself. The feline girl jumped up with Jackie and swatted away his kicks like a cat swatting away a snake strike, Zero caught the edge of the wall and kicked off of it building even more speed, she flipped her blades back to the sharp edge and made a light speed slash at the guy, aiming to take a piece of Jackie with her. Zero landed gracefully on her feet, she turned to see if she connected since the man had a remarkable way of dodging her attacks but this time it would be harder for him to dodge in mid air. She in all honesty wouldn't be surprised if the man sprouted wings and was able to simply move out of the way. Jackie had surprised her the whole fight and although she was taking it easy on him she did enjoy her opponent much more then she could say for the angel in her first match.
Jackie felt his leg knocked away and it was beginning to feel like his training has failed him, but he was unable to even form a thought as he fell to the ground on one foot but quickly fell on his stomach when he lost balance. He couldn't see her coming this time and she lured him in with her trickery to gain his respect. His limb was spouting out blood from where the foot was removed. Her actions weren't that much of a shock, Jackie was too trusting and way to slow to even perceive such an attack. The middle-aged fighter bit his tongue and continued to breathe heavily through his nose while trying his hardest to show no sings of pain although it hurt like Hell and he would soon die from blood loss if he wasn't attended to as he crawled towards the nearest wall in order to gain somewhat of a vertical base.
Zero turned around and started walking back to the waiting room, her body was shaking she'd used her max speed for one attack and on a human no less. The feline girl was not proud of this victory but Jackie was getting annoying. Zero's ears twitched as heard the man breathing hard, she knew he would bleed to death soon. She didn't owe Jackie anything, he was a full grown man and was giving the chance to leave peacefully this was his own damn fault.
"F***," was all Zero said. She sprinted to the fallen warrior and ripped off the remaining pieces of her shirt leaving only her bra and tied it around the mans ankle tightly. "Medic! Medic!" she cried hoping that there was some sort of healer here in case something like this happened.
This one was very random and she constantly changing her intentions from trying to hurt him to showing mercy to severing limbs and back to helping him. He was thankful for her aide if it was real but he wasn't sure if her concern for his life and health was genuine or not. They were still in a fight and Jackie would not give in or give up until his body ceased to breathe. He didn't have much strength left in him but she was close to him and he saw this as his last chance at doing something. He took his two middle and index fingers and aimed at the pressure points in her inner thighs. If he connected then it should paralyze her body, but that would require her to have pressure points which wouldn't surprise him given her unique species. It would also require him to actually land this blow but that was highly unlikely in his mind.
Zero was in the middle of wrapping Jackie's wound when suddenly Jackie attacked, however Zero was fast enough to move out of harms way just barely then jumped to a safe distance. "You son of a **** stupid *** mother ****** what the ************!" Zero yelled losing her cool for a second. "Fine, if you want to die go head it doesn't matter to me if you live or not..." the cat girl flicked the blood off her swords then sheathed them, she lend against the arena wall and glared at the dieing old man. "Now we wait, you either pass out or die either way you lose." Zero crossed her arms over her stomach and waited.
Pintar saw the match between Zero and Jackie he went down to there match to help Jackie "Stand back competitor and let me at least fix this wound" Pintar's hands glowed green he then placed his palms on Jackie's wound and how Zero cut it that damage reduced to a perfect healing repairing what Jackie making his damaged foot healed "That should do it do you want to continue this match Contestant"

Sinistar was slightly disappointed, for two reasons. Firstly, it had been almost attacked by another person other than Balan. However, before the attack could even reach Sinistar, a great power had drawn the danger seemingly out of existence. Pintar had overstepped himself. Sinistar wouldn't have minded at all if the attack hit. It would have merely redirected it, and perhaps forced a possible opponent out of action early.
The second reason - It had wanted to use the exact same trick Balan had just used on it. It whizzed around the battlefield in it's missile form, out manoeuvring the freezing flame bolts and soaring high in the air. As it moved higher and higher, becoming harder to see, It started summoning random projectiles. first it was a volley of steel arrows, blanketing the arena like a cloud. Then some spears, swords, axes, and other melee weapons spun earthwards whirling through the air. The objects become more and more bizarre. Boxes, columns, bricks, even pianos, all made of the same metal as Sinistar, starting falling, crashing into the arena around Balan. all according to plan. The last few items to fall were some more weapons, a missile, and an exact replica of sinistar's Bipedal body. It was Balan's choice, who - or what - to attack. One mistake, and this match may as well be over.

Zero was bored of this already, she won and that was that if the guy wanted to continue she'd just take his head and would like to see Pintar heal that. The cat girl jumped up on the wall and sat down looking around at the other fights, she then noticed Xanatos was trapped in a ball. "hmm...I thought Daniel's power was wind," she said with curiosity. Zero jumped down on the other side of the wall and decided to check it out, walking over the the bubble she took a sword out and poked at it, "Hey Xan-a-toes," she pronounced remembering the name on the screen. "what is this some sort of shield?" The sword touched the barrier and energy was sent up the metal but it was quickly absorb. "Is this one of you moves or something?"
"Xanatos", the hybrid corrected her with a hint of annoyance clear in his voice, "just call me Xan if you can't say properly". There were few things that really got to him, but saying his name wrong was one of them. He turned his head towards the catgirl so she could see that he was looking at her, and contemplated whether or not he should bluff. He'd had time to study the makeup of the barrier, and determined he could create a replica of it easily enough, but he hadn't gotten annoyed enough to try and disperse the field himself.
Finally he said, "It's a barrier, yes, but not one that I created. Pintar, in all his glorious wisdom, thought it best I be unable to interfere in the battles of others." The sarcasm was clear in his voice, as well as his contempt for the entire situation. "He and I will be having some words about this little time-out of his...penalty box, indeed."

Balan glanced in the direction Xanatos' attack had come from before Pintar stopped the interference, able to see through the wall thanks to Jerixil. He gave a quick nod, and then returned to the fight. With his remaining arm, Jerixil hurled the scythe forward, allowing it to spin through the cloud of objects. At Jerixil's direction, the scythe swept , attempting to sever Sinistar's connection to the the objects. If they were separated from his will, it would be easier to deal with them. At the same time, gesturing with the now free hand, Balan once again began to Banish the weapons, sending them simply elsewhere. There was no way he could get all of them, however. With a laugh, Jerixil sprang forward into the wall of metal. He grabbed an axe and made several quick slashes at nearby objects before discarding it and grabbing another weapon. He never held on to one object for more than a second, wary of any surprises they might have. All the while, Balan Banished weapons or opened portals to the Void, removing all the metal he could. When Jerixil reached the center of the cloud, he recovered his scythe, made one final sweep, released it, and disappeared. After a moment, several hundred weapons turned and flew toward Sinistar's missile. Jerixil hadn't bothered possessing anything without a blade, and his scythe still flew within the storm of metal. With a thought, the scythe targeted the copy of Sinistar's humanoid form, seeking to slash it to ribbons, or cut it off from Sinistar, whichever came first.
Zero couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation and ignored his attitude completely , "you got a time out for not playing nice...what are we in kindergarten? Anyways that hypocrite healed my opponent and asked if he wanted to continue," she finished annoyed. Zero continued to poke at the barrier because it made a funny noise every time she stabbed at it. "so Xanatos ," she said his name in a sarcastic tone, "you beat the wind guy already and got bored and started messing with the others?" she said still stabbing at the barrier making the funny sound, her tail curled up and loosened every so often. Suddenly she stopped poking and slashed the barrier releasing the energy she absorbed at the same time, the surface of the barrier looks like it cracked a bit. "guess it wasn't that strong..." She took out her other sword and rabidly started to stab at the barrier then slashed at it again with both swords the same way as before, the barrier started shattering. Zero sighed, "well I'm bored again..." the cat girl said putting her swords back to her sides.
Sinistar had, naturally, chosen the falling piano as his body. While Balan was sufficiently distracted, the piano flew towards him and slammed into him from behind, knocking him clear across the arena. The piano began to melt, revealing the Sinistar everyone knew and feared. It flew towards Balan's soaring body and delivered a massive give to the head, sending Balan into the ground. For the final touch, Sinistar formed a classic spike in its hand, and charged, hoping to skewer Balan and end this fight. He summoner could only have so many trick up his sleeve.
"I only interfered because my competitors was close to death I'm responsible for you guys since i brought you here you have to understand it doesn't matter anyway me asking if he wanted to continue is a rhetorical question you've already won Zero there's nothing he can do to win this if anything this would probably happen again I would have done the same for Daniel but Xanatos showed great sportsmanship by healing his own opponent from death this barrier was created to separate the match's that way its fair thats why I interfered with Xanatos's mischievous scheme because Its a fight between 2 strong competitors at their might not a triple threat now Zero you win now you and Xanatos please take a seat" Pintar smiled like a good host

Xanatos watched silently as Zero tested the barrier around him. He was mildly surprised at the strength of her weapons, since it seemed Pintar had put at least some effort to keep him interfering. The hybrid resisted the urge to spread his wings once the barrier was brought down, as he had not yet faced the catgirl in battle and was still cautious as to what he wished to reveal of himself. Fortunately, Pintar provided him with a distraction as he appeared in response to Zero's complaint and to comment on Xan's intervention again. A smirk passed over his lips as he spoke to their host with a scoff, "Again, I tell you I did nothing that could not dramatically alter the match, I know better than to truly interrupt those in heated battle."
