Cain felt the pain, but his reaction time kicked in first. Instinctively he created a miniature whirlwind around himself, blowing everything nearby aside like they were made of toothpicks. He rounded on Hitosu, now angry. He raised his hand and encased Hitosu in a cage of earth. He then brought his hand down, bringing down a torrent of lightning that struck the cage with full force.
Hitosu took the attack and some damage from his attack he got up from the rubble with his guarding him "Damn oh well I need another angle here it comes then " Hitosu threw the Dagger in the air turning it back into an orb now here "Orb Close-Combat Spiked Knuckles" The orb turned into knuckles giving him the best close combat prowess ever made by the 7th gen hero who couldn't make a weapon rumored he can break through anything with these Hitosu Rushed to Cain and ended up facing him in a strong close-combat match He pummeled him then Attempt to kick him in the air
Cain tried to block as best as he could, but the power of the knuckles was impossible to overcome. When the kick came however he grabbed Hitosu's leg and froze in in place. He then started to retaliate with blows of his own, each individual punch and kick aided by a random element. With the final blow Cain placed his palm on Hitosu's forehead and blasted him with holy, sending him flying across the forest arena.
Hitosu suffered alot of damage from the blow to the head he got up once again his orb started glowing in reaction "You just dug your own grave" Hitosu's Black wing started to fade into a white wing and Hitosu's eyes glowed blue his orb turned into the BoA the last hero's weapon and Hitosu's damage completely healed from all the earlier attacks Hitosu used the power of BoA to make his arrows "The legends says the Previous Person can make 10,000 arrows i may not be able to make as many but feel my strength" He shot 1,000 arrows at Cain made all from his aura"
'Oh, sh*t' Cain thought. He Created a stone wall, but the arrows were so many that they tore through the rock with ease. As a last resort Cain teleported away. As if was, he still got hit by a few arrows. "Dammit! That's gonna leave a mark." he quipped, feeling the spots where the arrows struck him. Venting his anger, Cain shot lightning mixed with fire from his hands at Hitosu, setting the forest around them on fire in the process.
Hitosu started to use his Chains from the BoA he then clanged the chains onto Cain the chains had smalls bumps can slice slice through about anything Hitosu forced the chains to squeeze him out "Just one more you got that you have one more move left no matter what you do this match is over" Hitosu squeezed more on the chains causing them to pierce him slowly and painfully
"One more?" Cain countered, even as he was being crushed. "I don't think so!" Cain froze the chains in their place, stopping them from slicing him. He then created a powerful blast of wind around himself, forcing the chains away. Cain teleported an instant later behind Hitosu, and with a newly formed stone fist, punched Hitosu as hard as he could in the back of the head. "I have much more fight in me yet!" he shouted, grabbing the angel-demon with the hand and throwing him into the air, catching him with lightning on the way down. He then held out his hands, leeching what little moisture there was left in the burning trees, and forced the water through Hitosu's mouth and into his lungs, effectively drowning him. "Let me see you suffer." Cain spat as he forced Hitosu to the ground.
Hitosu was struggling trying to grasp for air *I can't let it end like this not by drowning not like this NOT LIKE THIS*he then used Kido around his body and just like the rocks once more but stronger forcing Cain to get blown back he got his breathing back seconds later he then swooped in front Cain and glared at him with intensity with the bow ready and fully charged " I told you now its game over" Hitosu released the arrows point blank at Cain Blasting the radius area of the point he shot at from a green area into a giant mess of dead trees and turned over grass
The dust settled. Where Cain was standing, a shield of bright light was glowing. The shield dropped, revealing Cain. The elementalist was utterly exhausted. Never had he created a shield like that in such a short time. It spent nearly all of his energy. He stood up slowly. "You have given me the best fight I've ever fought." He gasped. "Well fought." Not having the energy to produce his own elements anymore, Cain drew on the fire from the forest around, engulfing his fist in flames. He punched Hitosu square in the jaw, creating an explosion of fire that hit them both, knocking the pair of them to their knees. Whoever got up, it didn't matter. Either way, this fight was over.

Vane waited until the perfect moment to spring the trap. Instantly, the spears exploded, reverting to their former states. Namely, the mist. Where the crystalized spears had been, small clouds of the white mist appeared, spreading over the areas behind and above Xanatos. Their vapor trails hung in the air and began filtering down slowly. When the hybrid spread his wings, several were dispersed, but a few remained. It was all that was needed. The rock struck the center of the cloud, passing through easily. A moment later, a massive hole opened in the cloud, not from the impact, but the air the rock displaced.There was little to indicate the change, but for the sudden glint of a crystalized blade. There was the flash of a pure white humanoid figure, nearly invisible in the white mist, and Vane appeared from the mist behind Xanatos, slashing with a sword formed of yet more mist.
Xanatos felt a smirk creep onto his lips. Any human child with a decent education would know that attempt to fight gas, even semi-liquid gas, with a solid was folly. Unless, of course, that gas solidified. The moment he had launched his projectile, Xanatos had been focusing, sensing the subtle vibrations of the air. So he knew when the inanimate was reared to strike, and the hybrid was ready as well. Stepping forward and aside, Xanatos spun on his heel, wings spreading to disperse what loose fog remained. His hand rose from his hip, a dim gleam of metal flashing near his palm. The hybrid's empty eyes stared at the solid form of Vane as the white blade ground against the silver of the dagger Xan had pulled from the pouch at his side.
His counteract was swift as well. Driving the white blade upwards, he slipped into Vane's guard and drove a second dagger into his abdomen. Did the demon of mist bleed red, or white?
Originally posted by Regelion1Donny was five steps ahead of Deathstar. Donny read the attack a minute before he acted. A fireball with a desire to intimidate him and keep him guessing by dissapearing through pure speed. The motive to the entire movement? The use of a foreign object. He formulated his whole control of mimicry as he laughed at the last attack of a foreign object attack.
Deathstar knew Donny wasn't going to attack first so he had to. A giant smile grew across his face making him seem some what demented. Deathstar then dashed towards Donny and in an instint his body disappeared and in his place a fireball flew at Donny. Deathstar appeared behind him with a shuriken in his hand ready to slash at him while the fireball flew at Donny from the other side.
As he sat, he anticipated the fireball, but by half the distance, he extended both hands and initiated the same fireball into the fireball as they both collided into an explosion. With the correct timing, he rolled backward in the meantime of the explosion and drew his sword. The motive of the sword? To block the attack at any possible direction. If he were to get near Donny, he was able to read an open motion for him to lock onto Deathstar in order to disarm him. He had the reading that he was going to throw the foreign object. Most likely a shuriken blade. It was obvious since he was a ninja and throwing a sharp object. Donny laughed as he stood anticipating the attack at the correct direction.

There was a cracking sound, followed by a loud hiss that might have been a gasp of pain in a human. Fractures spread along Vane's physical body, seeping with white mist, until it gave way entirely and reverted back to its original form. Vane's body faded, replaced by a vaguely humanoid cloud, albeit lacking a midsection. At the sudden lack of resistance, Xanatos' dagger plunged through the mist, followed by his hand. When flesh touched mist, a reaction occurred. It grew cold, not so much physical as the cold feeling of loss, as the mist attempted to drain the life from Xanatos. It couldn't possibly get much from one hand alone, but if that hand could be weakened it might present an opportunity.
Vane swept back, retreating to the mist. He couldn't have seen him, Vane thought, not in this cloud. If Xanatos could somehow sense him, it wouldn't pay to be within melee range, given that Vane's swordsmanship was lacking in comparison. Vane drifted further back, still spreading mist, and repeated his earlier attack, with a slight twist. More points crystalized, but this time on both sides as they sped toward their target.
The speed Deathstar moved at was incrediable it always made him feel like he was invisible. A breeze blew through the dessert area and from the breeze flew shuriken towards Donny. He then stopped a distance from Donny so that they could view each other. The most evilist smile shown over Deathstars face as he waved towards Donny to come get him " So lets dance pretty boy ha ha ha ha."

His dagger had found purchase, and it did appear that Vane was indeed vulnerable to physical harm, though Xanatos was unable to discern just how badly he had injured his opponent. The inanimate's dispersing was not a surprise to him, and he was ready pull back the blade no longer bit into solid matter. Still, for a brief moment, he was in contact with the mist, and the hybrid braced himself whatever effects its proximity would bring.
Is it possible, one must wonder, for those beyond life to have it drained from their being? Xanatos pulled back his hand, feeling no change. Whatever the mist's power, it seemed he was immune, and this presented a unique and likely rare opportunity. The blade dropped from the mist covered hand, as though he had lost the strength to wield it. The hybrid sensed more mist weapons forming, and he threw himself back against the wall, watching as the spears sailed on a collision course with each other.
Originally posted by Regelion1The Shuriken smacked against the sword perfectly without having to track the weapon. If it weren't for his psionic powers, the wepon's target would have never swift into the sword. Donny sighed and the put his sword away, getting pretty bored already. He even began to shake his head at this individual for his pathetic attempt at intimidation with a forced wicked smile. Donny thought this guy was a joke.

"Heh, you think i'm pretty. Well i'm pretty flattered, babe. How you give up the gimmick and show me a challenge already. You're just warming me up."
Donny crossed his arms, not even getting in any fighting stance.At this point this bit of incredible defense is giving him the lead in this battle so until then, he would end up the victor of this battle in the end. He felt like making up for his lack of show in offense.
Donny began walking towards Deathstar, aware of his next movement and his abilities. He read his interior process and was aware of his clones and god like speed. He was steps ahead of Deathstar and he was going to keep it that way. By the impression so far, there was no way this ninja will figure Donny out...Donny wanted to keep a weak impression until it was too late for Deathstar. He wanted to make this much more interesting now. How would he react to weapons like guns?
"Come at me."
Donny pulled out both Magnums and pointed them at Deathstar.

Vane saw the blade drop, and would have smiled if he had a mouth. A weakness had presented itself. The mist had done its job, he thought, though the payload drained was so small Vane was unable to detect it. In fact, he felt nothing from Xanatos; there was no radiation of life that most creatures usually gave off. This Xanatos must not have much power to begin with, then. He'd gotten lucky with that first strike.
Vane's own spears were no threat to him, being essentially made from his body, so he was unconcerned when Xanatos dodged. With a thought, he detonated them again, throwing mist in all directions. Soon, there would be nowhereleft to hide. Vane decided to take his opportunity. He couldn't attack while dispersed, and so reformed his solid body. The damage inflicted before was trivial, easily replaced with the special mist crystal Vane created his weapons from. It wasn't his true form, after all. He formed on Xanatos' side this time, aiming for the side with the drained hand. He knew that hand would be sluggish, as well as unarmed. Vane reformed his White Blade, striking quickly and as quietly as he could, trusting that the drained hand would hinder the senses that allowed Xanatos to detect him before.
Deathstar laughed at Donnys guns directed at him he had trained himself im millions of ways to deal with guns. He then lifted his thumb on his right hand and on his left. As soon as he did that kunai came from the left side of donny and shuriken from his right. Deathstar winked his right eye and both the shuriken and kunai set a blaze while flying towards him. Deathstar was moving around so fast he was able to booby trap the whole area with donny noticing but just encase he had other things set up to stop donny.

As the mist washed over him from the exploded weapons, Xan quickly began pondering how best to now deal with Vane. His immunity was a clear advantage, as it seemed to be the mist lord's primary method of controlling the battlefield. Still, while physical attacks were possible, he had no guarantee they were truly effective. Regardless, it would have to end quickly; the more time spent in battle meant more time for his capabilities to be revealed, which could eventually give Vane the counter it might need.
Xanatos felt a sense of satisfaction as the inanimate met his expectations. It had been a long time, but he had not lost his battle edge, correctly predicting that Vane would take the bait of a faux weakness. The mist-blade cleaved its vicious arc in the air. Now was the time. Xanatos grabbed the sword by its hilt with one hand, and his "weakened" hand shot up, clutching at the head of the inanimate. He swung Vane around, slamming him against the wall. As he did so, his wings spread out, and a howling issued from beneath their cover, twin whirlwinds forming and quickly dispersing the idle mist nearby.
"Yield," Xanatos murmured to the inanimate, "or be scattered." Vane could likely reform himself after being dispersed by high speed winds, but it would take much time and much energy, something Xan would bet the demon wouldn't be willing risk.

It was clear from the beginning that Vane had made a grave mistake. Xanatos had been completely engulfed, yet nothing was happening. No life being drained, no additional strength granted to Vane. He'd even touched the White Blade, even more potent than the mist it was formed from, yet there was no more reaction than before. Vane realized too late that Xanatos was immune to his power. How many more could claim such a thing?
When Vane's body hit the wall, more cracks formed in the white crystal he was formed of, leaking mist. He didn't dare disperse for fear of the great winds, from which the crystal was his only defense. But with much more damage, he wouldn't be able to maintain it, and would indeed be forced to scatter. Vane made a choice.
"The Death Mist ignores you," he hissed, "I cannot consume your life." There was no more mist nearby; Vane was unable to restore his fractured body. He struggled to maintain his solid form as more cracks appeared. His eyeless face stared down Xanatos. "I cannot harm you," he said, "and without life, I have no reason to try. I yeild."
Xanatos folded his wings, and the wind howled no more. He took a step back, releasing his hold on the inanimate. "You were unfortunate to have me as your first opponent," he mused, turning away from Vane and making his way back towards the waiting room, "Any other contestant would have felt your hunger."
