Dominique was surprised thats Balan would do such a thing inside water he even knew it was dangerous. From this one move Dominique knew Balan was serious. He charged up one blast to try to shoot it a balan quick but he wasn't fast enough. His body started to tremble again right when the lightning fried the water. Dominique knew he had no way to defend himself not in this state he hoped that the attack wouldn't kill him. The electricity surged through his body as he tried to scream not only from the lightning but from the painful trembling. Oxygen pushed its way out of his body but he tried his best to hold on to a little. Dominique stopped moving and floated face down in the water his eyes closed he felt he was done and couldn't go one. He then started thinking back to what the Demons and Angels told him if it would have been different if he went with one of them. " You should come with the demons without use you be dead in no time your worthless without us you'll never even get your full powers." " No Dominique come with us we understand you we can help you you don't want to be a lonely half breed all your life now do you." The voices started echoing in his head over and over " Worthless""Halfbreed" "WORTHLESS" "HALFBREED" just then his own voice told the others "Ill sown you what a worthless Halfbreed can do without your help Because i chose my own path I am Dominique Poole Part Demon Part Angel and Part ME!!" Dominique's eyes opened his eyes glowed one red the other Yellow but this time something different happened. For outlines appeared behind his back and encased him in a yellow and red light dome this one way different then the last one. The dome began to crack exploding open producing a pillar of light that shined through the water. Dominique's body was different He appeared with razor sharp claws on his hands, a long Yellow tail, His teeth where sharp and small yellow horns on the top of his head that barley stuck out. But that wasn't the only thing different on his back stood 2 pairs of beautiful wings the top pair where Red on the right wing yellow on the left. His eyes where even different one was red and cat like while the other was his normal type I but it was yellow and seemed more pure. But on the bottom pair on the left side was a black wing and on the right a yellow wing. Dominique full tapped into his full power and he had him and Balan to thank for that. Dominique opened his mouth no longer have need to hold his breath under water he flet powerful. But Dominique was still injured he wasn't fully sure how long he could hold out eevn in he current form. " Thanks for helping me reach my full form Balan with your help I've changed and become stronger thank you Balan. Dominique wasn't fully used to his new form but he liked the form and the abilities it possed. But the only problem was he was still hurt and he could not heal himself not during the match.
It seemed it had finally happened. Balan expected something when Dominique began to shake, but he'd never thought something so drastic would occur. Just then, Dominique's earlier comments clicked into place. What kind of being would an angel lie to? And both angels and demons would wish to harness? If Balan had to guess, he would say Dominique was some kind of divine being, possibly a hybrid. But that could wait; there were more pressing matters.
"Ifrothrax," called Balan's voice, "are you well?"
In response, a growl rippled through the water, louder than the throat that produced it would suggest. "I am quite well," Ifrothrax rumbled furiously, despite her great injuries. A red glint flashed in her eyes as the aquatic form rippled in time with the water, holding together only barely. "Your electrical attack seems to have worsened our situation considerably, however,"
Balan's voice replied, "I sincerely apologize for hurting you, ma'am."
Ifrothrax roared, her form shifting chaotically. "As if I'd be hurt by one such as you." Suddenly, Ifrothrax' form shifted completely, reverting to her original, draconic form. The dragon reared back, roaring again in excitement and rage, unfurling her wings in the water. Her injuries were still evident; burn marks blackened her scales, spread out over her body, though she paid them no mind. This was her original form, the one her magic resided in, though her strength was fading fast. She couldn't breathe underwater, but it wouldn't be long now. "Let's end this," she growled.
"All right, then," Balan said, turning his attention to Dominique and raising his voice. "You're welcome, my friend. Glad I could help, but I think it's time we concluded this match."
Ifrothrax roared and dashed forward, her wings propelling her through water just as they would in air. With her form restored, she could draw on more of her power, sheathing her claws, and teeth, in magical energy as she rushed forward. Without the water adaptations of the aquatic forms, she wasn't quite as graceful, but her loss in speed was minimal. Her loss in strength was non-existant.
Dominique nodded at Balan when he seen Balan change back into the dragon form. Dominique was able to move quicker in his new form but he didn't know if he could last too long in that form. Dominique acted quickly to Balans dash towards him he reached out with his right hand. Red and Yellow light energy formed in the palm of his hand charging it aiming it at Balan. "get ready for this my Friend ." He reached for his sword with his other hand he then released the light energy blast. Dominique acted quickly dashing behind the blast his sword glowed red. He reached the blast right before it came close to hitting Balan he slashed his blast in two. The light energy separated it in two with him going down the middle. He then used the same hand that launched the first light energy from to luanch one last blast. Dominique didn't know how much damage his attack would do but he didn't really have too much in him.
Sinistar was laughing, both at Adrian's reaction to it's power, and the sheer thrill of the hunt. It was no freak of nature. For that would involve being a part of nature, and Sinistar simply did not fall into that category. It was above and beyond any form of nature "At last!" it cried maliciously as it floated above the suddenly very active volcano. "A worthy opponent! Show me your power! Bring me a real fight!"
Without warning Sinistar dived into the volcano's depths, burying deep into the lava. If it stayed here too long, it could be damaged, but for the time being, the lava wasn't a problem. For now, Sinistar had no choice but to channel the full force of this volcano before Adrian could do the same. When the Android re-surfaced, the lava was rising with it. Using it's own power and the energy gun it had used on Adrian, Sinistar had fired deep into the volcano, pushing it over the edge. Sinistar's limited control over reality was barely enough to redirect this deadly force. A huge tidal wave of lava rolled over the lip of the volcano and towards Adrian.
Ifrothrax nodded, at Balan's insistance, and continued her charge. She began to bring her claws to bear, but flinched suddenly as a flash of pain went through her injured limb. Moving it too quickly caused the burned areas to flare up. With Dominique so close, there was little she could do to stop him, at least without her arms. Instead, Ifrothrax opened her mouth, and unleashed the Dragon's Breath. Tinged with arcane power, the breath became an almost solid bolt of magic flame, spreading out before her despite the omnipresent water. Ifrothrax closed her eyes when the attacks collided and exploded in a bright flash. This would be the end, then. The Dragon's Breath used most of the rest of Ifrothrax' air, as well as her energy, and neither of the combatants were in fighting shape anymore.
(OOC: I think that's the cue for judging, correct?)
Dominique was blasted backwards from the colliding attacks. He was basically reaching his limit and he knew it but he also knew Balan was at his. Dominique tried to slowly move towards Balan with his he had taken a lot of damage from the fight but he was a fighter. Right when he seen Balan about to drown he used his energy to make a dome around Balan to try to keep him from drowning. Dominique didn't like to kill people even if he had to but if he could stop it he would fight to.
Sinistar made the exact mistake Adrian wanted him to make...by trying to break through the cursed barrier that was in further and further range from Adrian as his body began to change total appearance and built. Adrain was in his proper attire for battle with a weapon. Once Sinistar made his depending attack from the lava, the tainted, haunted souls charged at Sinistar and not only disarmed the simple elements making lava possible, but they charged the being down through the volcano, and through the lava. As the souls slammed Sinistar down, they all scattered over Sinistar's lying body. The taineted souls irritated Sinistar and would keep their cursed presence locked around Sinistar throughout the battle. The souls would be completed into physical spirits and rips through Sinistar if possible. Maybe Sinistar's armor was impenetrable.
Meanwhile, Adrian landed on his feet. He then lifted his demonic blade over his armor's shoulder pad as he lifted his face mask over his face after letting out a sigh. He began walking towards the direction of Sinistar as every step clapped due to the sound of his new armor. The one summoned to him was pretty heavy, hence why his built was most necessary. As Adrian came closer to his presence, he slams the demonic blade down towards the rocky surface and dragged it as he went along the path. The lava reacted to the eruption of the Volcano, hence how it was being blown upward through the ground. The lava missed Adrian completely but the river of lava flowed through Adrian without affecting his armor. It was made to take on most materialistic and elemental forces...there was no way a mixture of rocks and flames would make a difference here. His speed, agility, endurance, and all around attributes were top notch and his entire built was made for the most grueling universal wars.
"This battle is now even." Adrian said out loud to himself.
Adrian made the next turn below the stalagmites as he sees Sinistar being surrounded by the tainted souls...It seems like he has made the mistake of disturbing them. He smirked under his face mask as he kept his eyes on Sinistar from a distance.

"No." Sinistar's reply was simple, but forceful. Even though it was inside the volcano, it's voice could still be heard clearly. "This fight is not quite even. I still have the upper hand. This statement, at first, sounded totally ridiculous, even to Sinistar itself. How can someone who has been tossed in a volcano and is being hammered by souls and lava have an upper hand against a being who stood calmly, and more powerful than he had been only moments ago? But it was true - Sinistar did have the advantage. As long as Adrian kept exposing Sinistar to dangerous conditions, Sinistar would turn the situation around, and force the danger back onto Adrian. In this case, the answer was simple, but it would require some real power.
Sinistar slammed his fists together, creating a pulse that covered all sides of the volcano. The lava instantly exploded, turning into a bright red light that shattered every soul, breaking their forms and utterly obliterating them. In just a few seconds, the volcano was emptied. What few drops of lava that were left had been converted into energy and stored into Sinistar's body. "Your army was nothing." Sinistar stated calmly as it floated above the lip of the now hollow mountain. "My body. My soul. They are both illusions. I have no true form, no state of being to call my own. As it spoke, a dozen blades of different shapes and sized appeared above Sinistar, surrounding it. Many more appeared out of thin air. "I can be one being, or many - one destroyer of worlds, or a million of them. It makes no difference to me. Hundreds of blades were now swirling around Sinistar live a vortex of steel. Some were of designs billions of years old. Others had never been seen before - Sinistar had designed them itself. "Join your pathetic army in oblivion!" Sinistar shouted, and with those words said, the blades shot towards Adrian like missiles, and in no time at all he was obscured from view by the whirling weapons. Sinistar touched down not far away, and formed its hand into a spike behind its back. The final blow would be a complete surprise to Adrian. With all the blades tearing at him, he would not see it coming.
Ashford sensed another person making their way. A portal opened up and Adrian fell from it. "Well, what do we have here? Another person?" Ashford helped him up. "What is your name?"
Sinistar Charged! It broke through the whirling cyclone of blades and trusted it's spike-tipped arm forwards. Adrian's armour had been weakened badly by the blades, so the spike Impaled Adrian with relative ease. But Sinistar was not finished. It threw Adrian high into the air, and like a thousand sharp missiles, the blades followed, cutting every inch of the demon they could reach. Sinistar turned and walked away, melting slowly. It didn't even look back as Adrian's defeated body crashed into the ground, and the blades disappeared. The mechanical monster once more transformed into a tiny missile, and flew towards the waiting area. It had won this match.
Xanatos stepped onto the grounds of the arena, scanning to ground for any sign of the previous rounds' defeated. Not surprisingly, he saw nothing, and so was not too disappointed. All that left to remained, then, was his current match with Daniel, who seemed to be coming at his leisure. The hybrid gave an internal shrug. It wasn't like he had anywhere to be right now, and with no new leads on Pintar, he could afford to wait. So he did, though not idly, oh no. Xanatos pondered what his next battlefield would appear as, and in what ways his opponent could take advantage of it. His previous battle ended quickly, and perhaps this one would too, but he would not be so foolish as to let overconfidence cloud his actions.

Danial arrived on the battle ground his smile was as cocky as ever, thus for hes been playing naive but it was time to get serous. Danial knew little of his opponent but what he did know is that he won his last match very quickly and his opponent was no push over.
Danial put his hands in his pockets to appear defenseless, "When ever your read," he said giving a wink. Danial was not defenseless though and he'd already started the fight by manipulating the air around both of them, now he will feel any signs of movement Xanatos makes.
Zero awaits her opponent in the arena, she takes a deep breath and calms herself. All the girls wounds were healed and she was happy to be fighting with a clean slate. Zero thinks back a few moments ago about what Balan had to say, she only walked away telling him that it wouldn't matter if she lost anyways so just save it for later, she shook her head trying not to think about it, "Damn it stay focus, now is not the time to think about that." Zero puts her hands on the hilts of her swords ready to take down any opponent that gets in her way.
Xanatos was aware from the moment Daniel had stepped out onto the arena that the battle was underway. The hybrid felt the subtle changes in the wind currents, and knew it to be for the purpose that he had used them for himself in his first match. Now the windrider would be able to sense when he made even the smallest of movements. A good defensive maneuver, to be sure, allowing Daniel to prepare for any attacks that might come his way. Xanatos wondered, however, if his opponent was fast enough to react to to every movement tha he was able to sense. The best way to gauge that, he decided, was to perform for the windrider an action faster than most individuals could react to.
"Then let us begin," the hybrid replied. With the same speed shown in the waiting room, Xanatos reached behind his back and once again unholstered the Desert Eagle that he had pointed at Daniel before. He squeezed the trigger once, the barrel pointed at Daniel's left shoulder. He was here to fight his opponent, not kill him, and this should prove adequate to test the windrider's reflexes. The gun went off with a crack of thunder, and the battle was joined.

Donny was within the vicinity of the area where he would have to scrap it out with an even more potent and dangerous opponent that has no remorse to even kill him. Donny kept a that cocky look on his face, knowing he was about to struggle and trying to keep himself maintained as he was was not intimidated at all. He kicked some dirt out of the way and fell on his bottom as he awaited Cain, trying to take the time to calm himself until the battle would begin. He began reading the the area for any traps, holes, and mines. He then tried to read and find signal of his opponents first actions as much as he can.

((What arena are we fighting in now?))
Cain teleported so that he was back to back with Donny. "Funny." he quipped. "I was expecting someone different. Then again, who can expect anything in this whole damn thing, right? None of this sh*t makes sense."
The bounty Hunter flipped agilely away and got into a fighting stance. Cain had barely recovered from his first fight, and already he was being shoved into the arms of this next opponent. But it didn't matter. Cain knew he could win this one.
Pintar put up an intersecting wall in the Colosseum dividing the contestants
Xanatos V.s Daniel
Sinister V.s Balon
Zero V.s Jackie
Donny V.s Cain
You may now begin

Balan walked into the arena, fresh from the healing portal. What an interesting little area, he'd thought. He'd opened a portal to Ifrothrax from it, and without a word simply dumped as much of the refreshing power onto her as he could. And now that he knew the location the portal traveled to, Balan was sure he could access it himself. But that would have to wait until later. It was unfortunate that the battles began just as Balan was getting to know Zero, but there was little to be done for it.
Right now, Balan had to focus on the metal creature, Sinistar. He'd wished to avoid it, as freindly conversation was to all appearances lost on it. What's more, Balan could sense the spatial disturbances surrounding it, indicating control of space to a degree. This thing was, without question, a massive threat to anything near it. So it was only fitting to fight with another threat. Balan lifted a hand, said, "Jerixil, our agreement calls! The power of mortals is not enough!" and then took the form of the demon.
