"Unique skills? Your boss wants a suit!?" Marika's eyes lit up. The last weird rich guy who got a suit from her had managed to encourage her into her best work ever. Weird rich guys were great. "Marika, thank him for healing you." Yuu prodded Marika's back with a stern look. "Oh, fine. Thank you for fixing my jaw and stuff." She said with all the air of a teenager forced to thank her grandmother for a Christmas sweater. Although of course Marika would like a Christmas sweater. "Leave us a way to contact you. I'm afraid the people we clashed with might approach again and I'm afraid I don't really feel comfortable inviting you into our home." Yuu nervously glanced over the hills. "What are you talking about? We're going back and finishing them off!" Marika insisted. "Everybody, get out here!" She opened the kaspa door to yell into it.

Not a particularly good counter-pick? Why does this sound like a backhanded compliment? Sid thought to himself, confused by Goemon's odd disdain for these cool powers. Oh right, this thing will be trying to kill him when in use...not so cool. "Uh...thanks, dude. I'm sure their chick's powers are nothin' compared to these puppies!" He exclaimed, imagining the boots being lighter and...oddly enough, they became their original weight once more! He kicked upward at the air a few times to test their weight, finally beginning to understand how this works. "So I just have to imagine them as heavier...and they are. Sweeeeeeet." Sid said as he did a backflip, more testing to see how aerodynamic these things were compared to his normal boots. "So, do you guys wanna go to them, or wait till they come back?" He asked, not caring either way.
---
Haven and Ash looked at Marika with confusion as she yelled into the Kaspa, the only one left in there being Jane, whom Marika told to stay behind. Cadence, meanwhile, listened in on the group's conversation as she looked over the cliff and exhaled more smoke from her pipe. Just what would someone like this man or his boss need with Marika's seamstress skills? Her clothing wasn't particularly great, and working with this psychopath was going to be a nightmare for them. Then again...perhaps it's not clothing that they want...maybe they want Marika to create dolls for them?
Looking up at the hill, Ash expanded her heat aura and grinned widely at the group, pointing toward the building. "Let's go, then! Round two! I can't have fights ending in a draw!" Ash exclaimed, Haven only shaking his head in response. Ash was always in her own little world.

Ikari handed Yuu a communication device, very similar to a short range radio, but with a much sleeker design and just a single button, shaped like a fingerprint. -This will be your way to contact my boss, the phone is locked to Ms. Arachne’s fingerprint and DNA, so nobody else can use it if it gets lost.- The Agent of Hatred then walked away while speaking ominously. -It would be a good idea to contact my boss as soon as you finish up here Ms. Arachne.- He stopped besides the tree he cut before and turned his neck, glancing at Marika and her Dolls with his eyes, burning with deep purple flames. -A time of great upheaval is coming Ms. Arachne, you either join the guy who has a bunker or you get swept by all the madness and chaos that will lay waste to this planet.-
And with that cryptic warning he vanished in a blaze of Hatred Flames, whirling around him until they suddenly went off, revealing that he wasn’t there anymore.
The door opened, allowing a chilling breeze to enter the room. The Beast Knight moved inside, each step he took displaying how stiff his body became for being outside. He had some natural resistance to heat and cold, but most of it came from his cloak, the same that got torn while fighting against Yuu. -I...I… think we… should… brrrrr…..stay.- He spoke with great difficulty, waging a losing battle against his chattering teeth. His pale skin contrasted against his now is red nose and a small icicle hanging down from its tip were clear evidence of how cold the outdoors were. -If… we… a..a..a..ACTHOO!- Callis sneezed interrupting his explanation.
He cleaned his nose with a bit of fabric that used to be a full handkerchief, but most of it got charred in the previous fight. He placed his hands over the fire, trying to warm up a bit and continued, now a bit less laboured. -If... we try to charge towards them, they... might avoid us and get... here without facing us in.. open battle and if we divide our forces.- A sudden cold-caused goosebump stopped him. He rubbed his hands against each other and breathed into them before resuming. -They might pick each group apart with their full force, so it would be tactically sound that we stay in this location and fortify it to the best of our possibilities.- Callis ended up sitting besides the fire, now looking much better. -At least that is how I see the situation.-

Both Jose and Alex agree that staying here would be the best move, yet unlike the ghoulish man, the earth shaker verbally confirms the idea. "Since we are staying here, I better improve my connection to the earth around us then." He slowly sits down and closes his eyes as he concentrates on linking himself to the world around him. As he establishes a strong bond between himself and the earthly materials, he decides to expand his beyond his previous range and search deeper than before. It could feel the enormous amount of terra energy below their feet, and the deeper he looks, the more potent and massive the amount of terra every becomes. Yet, he hesitates to call forth the power he is currently sensing, as it is far too much for him to handle. Still, with his current connection as it stands, he hopes that it will be enough to survive the next battle.
Alex on the other hand begins to come up with a failsafe plan to ensure that if they should be defeated here, he will at least get rid of the body of the Orge king. Whatever these zombies are trying to accomplish will most likely require the body of the fallen king he thought. He turns his attention to the rest of the group and debates if he should inform them of his idea. After weighing the pros and cons, he eventually concluded to let them know his intention. "Should we be killed tonight, I propose we don't allow them to be able to leave with the corpse," he said while pointing at the body they are suppose to protect. "Also, I think we should destroy anyone's body after they die, or are unable to fight during the battle. Assuming they can make more zombies. we don't want to add firepower to their side."

Yuu's eyes reflected Ikari's flames even after they faded. There was nothing she trusted less in the world. Besides Marika's judgement. "We can handle that later. Right now I want my fucking parts!" Marika snarled, trying to stomp up the hill to assault the hall again. "Hold on, Marika. Maybe it can wait until morning? We have healing to do and they'll be up all night waiting for us." She said with some hope of reprieve. Marika would be more reasonable after some sleep. "No! The longer those parts sit the more they fucking suck! We're going now!" She struggled up the hill, slipping and crawling in the snow. Yuu sighed deeply and waved for the dolls to follow. "Ash, please keep us warm." Why did her little girl have to lead them into disaster?
It wasn't long before the hall was in view again. They were to the back of it, light seeming out the upper windows. The voices of those inside softly carried. Yuu couldn't stop this, she could only try to prevent pain for her family. "Cadence, stay outside the front door. I want you on support. Get vines on whoever's in trouble. Haven, have Cadence get you up high outside the front door. Don't get close to anyone. Ash, Martha... give them a show with me. There's a back door in the kitchen Marika will go through." Marika looked like she wanted to protest, but instead just walked. "Let's go kids. I'm sorry." Yuu led them to the front of the building and drew her sword. "And I'm sorry to all of you!"

Cocking his head slightly when Callis entered the room, Sid nods nonchalantly at the Beast Knight's suggestion. "Sounds good to me. I'll just be over here, if that's cool with you dudes." And with that, Sid made his black boots disappear and kicked off the ground, landing on top of one of the rafters and peering down at the door. If this medal thing worked like he imagined, whatever poor bastard walked in through that door first was going to have a bad day.
---
"Okaaaaaaaay! Heating...now!" Ash yelled out into the empty mountainside, posing as she expanded the field of heat to include the majority of the group if they were within a few feet of Ash, leading to both Haven and Cadence to huddle close to the loud doll. Once they reached the hall again, Haven looked up at the building in despair. Why did they have to come back here, especially when Marika was ready to be down for the next week before that scary guy arrived? Cadence snuffed out her pipe and placed it back into her dress, bringing both Haven and herself up to the assigned positions. Ash beamed at the idea of kicking the door down again, reaching forward and pulling Martha into a tight hug. "Ok! Let's get this show started!" She called out, releasing Martha from the warm hug and turning toward the door, waiting for the signal to start the show.

Light surrounded the hands of the Beast Knight as his sword manifested on them, like white lighting taking the shape of a blade. His acute senses helped him to detect the incoming Dolls, thanks to the peculiar scent they had. Goemon ki surged around him, like a golden coat of flames, he also noticed the incoming enemies, thanks to the activation of Cadence’s Gainen. Callis almost smiled seeing Goemon react like that. He turned to Alexander and nodded. -I agree about destroying the bodies, but trust me Mes Stevenson, we will prevail against the undead vermin and the necromancer that leads them.- The Beast Knight smiled, the radiant smile of confidence as he prepared his swords to attack.
Goemon looked at his apprentice and spoke to him with a serious tone. -Be careful Hernadez-kun, I still have much to teach and I don’t want you to get hurt.- He lost the tone and smiled. -Let’s show these fools how Mountain Killers roll.- He extended his fist to bump it with his student. -We’re going to fuck them up.- His Ki rippled around him, signaling he was ready to fight, filling his eyes with golden sparks.

The gruesome hunter studies the beast knight for a few seconds with an emotionless face before turning his attention back to the corpse of the fallen King. "If we are going to fail our mission, only fair we make sure they fail as well." He moves silently to the side of his allies as he readies himself for a flanking position. His hands begin to become blurs as he readies a wire thread javelin. Once he finish the weapon, he grabs the handle and prepares for whatever is going to happen next.
He bumps his master's fist with a right punch, which Goemon will notice is coated with a thine layer of reddish Ki, which begins to spread to cover the rest of his body. He proceeds to turn his attention to the Orge's body and summons a earth dome over the corpse with a few preparations in place as the earth below the decease body is manipulated for his plan. Finally, he calls on his terra senses to track their enemies' whereabouts along with his Ki senses as he prepare to counterstrike their invasion with a barrage.

Martha sighed looking into the great hall. She saw an impenetrable wall between her sisters and the ogre Marika demanded they get. She only saw hatred and death in their eyes. Martha had no ill will, but beating them was the only way her sisters could survive. She was launched forward, leaving a shockwave each time she changed direction to zigzag over the floor, zipping past the melee fighters to appear in front of Jose so swiftly it looked like she had teleported. Her foot lashed out for Jose's kidney with enough power to shatter a concrete wall. She grit her teeth and snarled as her foot cut through the air.
Yuu's thoughts were much the same as she drew her sword. She pushed these thoughts away and marched forward. "Please... fight me." They were just obstacles. Not people. Like traps that would hurt her family. She prepared to slash apart whatever came near.

Following Martha was Ash, who entered much slower than her sister due to being generally not as quick on her feet...and not to tire herself out too early. "Woohoo, round two! Let's do this!" Ash yells out as she punches a large concrete slab that had been raised in the previous fight, sending the entire section that was 10 feet high at Alexander. "Not done yet!" The loud doll yells out as she punches two smaller slabs of concrete at him, about 5 feet in height this time. Fighting at a distance was way easier!
---
Spotting two people that were trying to hide outside, Sid taps his boots against the rafter he was standing on and summons the black obsidian boots once more. "Welp...here we go." He boredly states, leaping off the rafter and making the boots many times more heavy as he barreled straight for Haven and Cadence. Having already spotted Sid in the rafters(he didn't exactly blend in), Cadence merely steps out of the way, Haven following suit. "Not yet! I got this!" Sid yells as he just passes Cadence and Haven...and suddenly changes direction mid-air and barrels straight at Cadence once more. The plant doll's eyes widened slightly at the revelation that the man could change his direction mid-air, Sid's kick connecting with her stomach and sending the plant doll sailing across the snowy landscape.
"Got 'er! Now for y-" Sid's sentence was cut short by Haven slashing a neon purple sword at Sid's side, the kickmaster barely able to spin his leg upward and have the obsidian boots knock the sword right out of Haven's hands. "Not nice to backstab a guy, rocker chick!" Sid calls out as he spins his body around and uses the outstretched leg to launch Haven back into the building, the purple-haired doll managing to make a barrier behind him to minimize most of the impact. Just as Haven was about to give chase...he spots something out of the corner of his eye. Walking toward Sid was the plant doll from before, the hole in her chest beginning to seal up with plant matter. "Wait...you can regenerate?!" The kickmaster asks, annoyed at the prospect of fighting someone who could heal their injuries. Cadence merely nods her head, sitting on top of a large wooden chair that began to grow and form around the misanthropic doll, tightening around her body and making a sleek set of brown wooden armor with a set of large black needles jutting out of the suit, each needle being the length of an average human leg.
"...you have no range...that's bad..." Cadence remarks, controlling her armor to run at Sid with much higher speeds than Cadence could ever achieve herself. Sid gets ready to kick her with his boots that would undoubtedly protect him against the needles...until he felt a strange presence right next to him. The kickmaster barely leaps back as a wave of superheated yellow smog was launched at him by a hulking monstrosity, burning his arms and letting some of the smog get into his throat, causing him to cough violently for a few moments as he leaped away from both of them. "Ugh...what the fu..." Sid observed Industrial Poison and Cadence standing next to each other, his voice now raspy thanks to the smog that went into his throat. Standing back up, Sid gives a small smile to the both of them. "Well...looks like we both have one of these guys. Guess I gotta try harder, eh?" He remarks, putting his leg back in a fighting stance. Cadence merely stood there, waiting for Sid to make a move. The battle of the Gainen medal newcomers had begun.
---
Haven slowly got up from his barrier, stepping onto a small neon purple surfboard and rising into the air, surveying the battlefield. Just who needed help right now...

-I destroyed undead vermin in my world and I can do it here.- The Beast Knight whispered to assure himself of his convictions as he advanced without a speck of hesitation, charging towards Yuu with his swords shining. Callis didn’t doubt about fighting, but he still had doubts about the nature of the Dolls, still he couldn’t let them win, so he jumped at Yuu cartwheeling mid-air over her while he unleashed both of his swords in a consecutive slash. The first one serving a decoy for the second one. He couldn’t do any feints with his cloak, as he lost it during the first round of this fight.
Goemon looked around, trying to find a target. Finally he decided that he needed to take care of some unfinished business, first with Ash and then with Haven, so he charged towards the Red-Headed Doll as his Ki rippled around his body. Goemon smiled at the opportunity given to him by Ash, since she created the diversion on her own. The Karate Star jumped from the side, performing a Ki-propelled flying kick. Piercing through the concrete slab she threw at Alexander, altering the trajectory. He created a dust cloud with small pebbles flying towards Ash, while his foot was also getting closer to her and he shouted. -CHESTO!-

As the kick approaches, rather than try to simply overpower his opponent, Jose instead aims to redirect the force of the strike away from his body. He launches both of his Ki enhanced arms towards the powerful blow in a form of a crossing block. As he receives the blow, a shot of pain rings through his forearms, yet it is only momentarily as he isn't attempting to stop the blow completely, but rather slow down the attack to create enough time to place his hand by her ankle in order to be in the right spot to redirect her assault. Without wasting any time when his arms make contact with her leg, he quickly makes a scoping motion under her ankle and lifts her kicking leg over his head with a swift and smooth motion. Hoping that the move would unbalance her, his scooping hand switches to grab her ankle and then he proceeds to spin. However, he didn't spin by shifting his feet, but rather by controlling the immediate earth around his feet to spin in a circular motion in rapid rotations. Due to holding his opponent, both Martha and Jose begin to spin around faster and faster until they become a miniature tornado, creating a strong centripetal force rather quickly. A few seconds later the earth shaker lets go of his opponent, allowing the centripetal force to fling her towards the far side of the room.
Using one hand and a couple dozen wire threads, the gruesome hunter slices apart the remaining slabs into tiny dust like particles without much difficulty. With his other hand he prepares to throw his javelin, but the large karate man is too quick. Biting his lip in annoyance as he couldn't just throw it at Ash with Goemon in his way, he quickly studies the room to find a proper target, and spots a zombie on neon purple surfboard. With a twisted smile, he releases the wire thread javelin towards Haven at speeds that are significantly slower than a bullet, but in terms of pure sharpness, there is nothing so far that could stop the tip of his weapon from ripping apart whatever is in its path.

Martha felt the impact of her foot on Jose's arm. It shook her bones, but not as much as it should have. It jolted her just long enough to be grabbed, and her remaining momentum carried her right into the desired spin. She was taken off guard the first moment, but then her foot slammed down through the floorboards and ground into the earth, serving as a brake.
She was thrown, but it was just a brief, floorboard smashing tumble and she recovered to rush Jose again. She threw a feint for his right kidney before using her blistering speed to instead duck around and throw a hook for his left cheek. She only had speed in this battle, and that was what she'd use.
Yuu blocked the first of Callis' sword swings and sidestepped, letting his blade slide away and seeing the other fall right where she had stood. Her blade was much shorter than his, that she knew. She had to close the distance. She sought to take advantage of his near miss to rush in, throwing a foot for his groin. Long term harmless if he put out the flames, but it would incapacitate him. Yuu already saw Marika creeping behind the ogre's body. She just needed to hold him off long enough for Marika to do her job.

Grinning that the concrete slab she had launched at Alexander was destroyed, Ash was delighted to see the big guy from before was back for a rematch. "Hey, you're back! Alright! I'll pummel you into the ground once again!" Ash declared, holding her arms up to block the flurry of pebbles from hitting her face. Rapidly increasing the temperature of the area around herself and melting the snow into puddles of water that seeped around the floor, Ash heard Goemon's scream and grinned. "Soaring..." Ducking down, Ash brings her fist up to try and strike the underside of Goemon's leg as it exited the cloud, infusing her fist with concentrated heat energy that she was releasing out into the room. "...UPPERCUT!" Truthfully, Ash didn't care about the ogre's body or trying to hurt these guys at all...she just liked a good fight!
---
Slowly walking around Cadence and her Gainen, Sid tries to size up his openings...not seeing many clear ones with that armor Cadence had. If he wanted to do any damage, he needed to crush the spikes with his boots...but that limited his positions of attack. "Ya don't seem too much in a hurry to fight. Tired or somethin'?" Sid asked, continuing to walk. Cadence stared blankly at Sid as he stalked around her, staying near motionless. "...don't care..." She stated with a monotone, Sid looking on in confusion. "Huh? Why are ya even here, then?!" "...have to..." She replied, growing a network of plant roots beneath their feet. "Forced? I could help ya out if you stop this fight. What'dya say?" Sid proposed, seeing if this could be solved with diplomacy. The plant doll merely shook her head. "...you're too dumb..."
Glaring at Cadence, Sid kicked off the ground and rocketed toward her. "Oh come on! It can't be that hard!" He yelled, digging his feet into the snow as he approached Cadence and sending a small wave of snow at the plant doll. Twisting his feet against the rocky ground, the kickmaster skates around the pile of snow...and is met face-to-face with the Gainen. Smirking, Sid leaps up and over the monster as it released more smog at Sid, spotting Cadence directly behind it with the snow held back by a wall of networked roots. “Hah, try dodging this!” The kickmaster yelled as he increased the gravity on his boots and came crashing down onto Cadence’s armor, leaving nothing in but a pile of splinters behind. “Wait…” Sid’s realization that the ‘armor’ he was was merely a decoy was too late as the real Cadence delivered a hard right hook with her armored fist that sent Sid sprawling to the ground, rolling with the blow and staggering back to his feet.
“...never take your eye off the opponent…” The plant doll instructs, looking unfazed from the last exchange. Sid leaps at Cadence once more, being blocked by the Gainen once more, who released another superheated cloud of smog at Sid. “Fuck your smog, already!” Sid yells as he kicked another wave of snow at the smog to create a large cloud of polluted steam that filled the area, Sid holding his breath as he used his ki sense to find Cadence’s ki signature...and kick the plant doll into the air with a hard upward strike from his right leg. “Ga-ach!” Sid was about to gloat that he finally hit her, but the polluted smog mixed with the steam around them got into his lungs once more. Holding his breath now, the kickmaster uses the gravity from his boots to continue his upward momentum, each strike sending more and more cracks through the spiky wooden armor that was now falling back to Earth in little pieces. This time, it wasn't a decoy.
---
Haven was about to try and help Ash...until he spots the large cloud of dust Goemon and Alex created when they destroyed the slabs. Moving his surfboard out of the way of the javelin, Haven places his purple goggles over his face and sighs at now having to fight an opponent one-on-one. Rocketing across the room, Haven summons several neon purple knives in a circular formation around Alex, all of them about the length of a human hand. He then sends them all forward, trying to skewer Alex from many different directions...but anyone fast rough could easily dive out of the way.

As he landed the Beast Knight noticed the incoming low-blow, so instead of landing with both feet on the ground one of them fell sole-first over the tip of Yuu’s, blocking the kick and using it as a trampoline to propel himself back to the airspace over the Doll. -I do not wish to destroy you.- He spoke as he flew right over her. -But I will if you do not desist.- Truly he reached to the conclusion of the Dolls being different to the Undead back on his homeworld, still he had to fullfil his mission. From his position he unloaded both swords at the same time towards Yuu’s head, aiming for a quick and painless decapitation.
With Ash’s fist quickly approaching his leg Goemon choose his course of action, shifting his weight to retract the attacking leg, feeling the burning energy reaching his feet as he did. And in exchange he extended his other leg. It wouldn’t carry the same strength as before, but the hit really was meant to gain some distance between him and Ash, carrying enough Ki packed into it to do so. -Too slow!-

The earth shakers attempts to defend his kidney, leaving himself open for the left hook to the face. Yet before the full force of the strike could land, Jose's shifts his head just in time to allow his opponent's fist to slide across his left cheek. Though he avoids the direct hit, the strike leaves a notable reddish bruise mark across his face. However, he did not simply move only his head, but rather he twists his entire body, including his legs, as he attempts a quick spinning leg sweep with his back leg to Martha's leading foot as he tries to get her off balance, hopefully dropping her to the floor. If his foe is successful taken down with his sweep, he plans to continue to use the momentum of his spin to perform a short, yet quick jump, before drops a spinning heel kick to her chest cavity. Consequently, should she remain standing, he will opt for a spinning back fist to the side of her head.
"Interesting...," commented the gruesome hunter as the projectiles head towards him, Alex hands begins to move in a series of motions as his wire threads begin to wrap around the neon knifes until they are completely covered. From there he quickly readjusts the trajectory of the now wire thread knives back towards Haven while still maintaining influence of their direction with numerous wire threads attach to the sharp objects. Even though the redirecting projectiles might not be the quickest attack, due to the sheer number and the control of their movements, it will be a bit more difficult to maneuver around as they travel in an rather unpredictable fashion. Yet, the wire thread knives are not the real aim behind his attack, rather the incredible thine, yet dangerously sharp wire threads attach to the knives are.

Martha grinned just a little at the feeling of her knuckles scraping on Jose's cheek. She didn't want to fight for Marika, but a good fight wasn't impossible to enjoy. She was drawing her fist back for a straight to the stomach, but before she got the chance her foot was whipped out from under her and she dropped. She tried to throw herself back to her feet, but her chest was met by Jose's falling foot halfway.
She just let out a little gag before her torso was slammed back through the floorboards. She gurgled as the resounding crack of her rib cage collapsing ceased to echo. She just twitched in the shallow ditch, trying to draw useless breaths for a few seconds. Then she pushed herself up and stood, teetering terribly. In a whirlwind of motion, she rushed past Jose, smashing up the floor besides him, leaving his weight to collapse it. She spun to kick him while he was in mid falling. Every movement was acompanied by a sickening crack and sandpapery rasp as her crushed bones moved in her ruined torso.
Yuu's foot was smashed to the floor when Callis used it to jump off of. She spun to meet him, seeing his swords coming just in time. A gash opened in her neck as she rolled aside, leaving a trail of flames on the floor. She jumped back through these flames and grabbed for the back of Callis' shirt, trying to get in on his range and thrust her sword through his kidneys. Not immediately lethal, but effectively crippling. "I don't wish to destroy you either. And I'm not going to." She said with wet eyes that were also ablaze.

Ash, not versed in any kind of fighting techniques, widens her eyes slightly as Goemon pulled his leg back and brought up the other, the force of the ki-enhanced kick knocking Ash backwards and into a nearby stone pillar, the world briefly becoming blurry for Ash. However...she seemed to be grinning still. "Nice shot! But I will be even stronger next time I'm over there! Behold!" Putting her hands out, Ash began to rapidly chill the area, making all the snow she melted on the floor turn into ice, Ash hoping that Goemon landed on the ground so the ice would crystalize around his feet and attach to his skin, making it near impossible to move.
"Round two, let's go!" Ash yells out, sprinting at Goemon and winding her right fight back, aiming for the massive man's jaw with a sharp right hook. There wasn't much form to the punch, as Ash wasn't much experienced with fighting, but there was certainly lots of power behind it.
---
Higher and higher, Sid and Cadence climbed into the air, each devastating kick from Sid ripping apart the armor even more. Soon, only a small portion of the remaining armor remained on Cadence's back, while Sid turned the puffy coat she was wearing into a large pile of fluff that fell to the Earth as well. "I...will..." Another kick from his left leg sent them upward another 3 feet. "...beat...you!" Sid yells, delivering one last upward kick with his right leg before grabbing Cadence by the arms and spinning them both in the air, increasing the weight of his boots many times their normal weight and sending both of them barreling back at the ground as a makeshift meteor, Sid's Gainen boots forming a small cone of heat as they rocketed downward, transferring the heat to Cadence and lighting her body on fire.
Strangely though, the plant doll didn't make any grunts of pain, nor say anything as she was being assaulted by Sid. As both of them approached the ground, Cadence's body began to deform and shift, twisting itself around Sid's leg like a snake before making it's way around his torso and binding his arms. "W-what the shit?!" The kickmaster yells out as he crashes into the ground below, a huge crater forming at the bottom that shook the entire mountain peak with the sheer force of impact. Sid rolls around in the crater below, the snow managing to put out the fire Cadence was on...but now he couldn't move! "Hey, get off me you little s-" Before Sid could finish his sentence, Cadence's Gainen loomed over Sid's head, it's blank, inhuman stare looking Sid directly in the face. Several feet away, Cadence's body was beginning to reform, now without her puffy coat, though she still kept Sid's body bound.
Once she was done reforming, the plant doll looked on at Sid, leaning against the outside of the crater. "...your attack takes too long..." She states, snapping her fingers while Industrial Poison brings it's metallic fist up and slams it down hard onto Sid's stomach, causing the kickmaster to cough up blood and a tiny bit of the smog he had inhaled earlier. Things were not looking great at the moment.
---
Seeing that his knives were covered in wires and redirected, Haven takes off on his neon surfboard and creates a small dome around himself to block any knife that got close. "Nice trick! But I got an even better one!" Haven called out, taking off directly for Alex and forming a small neon purple fist behind the crazy man that would punch him in the back of the head, Haven hoping to disorient the hunter long enough for him to get close and let the knives stab him instead of himself. Both seemed to be ranged fighters, so Haven wasn't as worried about getting in close. Just in case...he makes a small saber in his hands for defense if Alex had a weapon on him.

Callis was amazed to see Yuu follow his movements. Even if he was humble when it came to his fighting abilities he had discovered that his overall experience and weapon prowess made him quite effective in this world, as close combat seemed to become less and less the norm with each passing generation. Yuu seemed quite versed in the arts of melee combat and the way she handled her weapons and the level of her footwork was nothing short of prodigious. This surprise turned into shock as he felt the tip of the kunai reaching his flesh. Normally his cloak would have at least blocked part of the damage, but right now, lacking the piece of magical clothing to guard him, the danger was real. The searing pain on his side shot a warning directly to his brain and through sheer flexibility and core strength he moved his body away from the sharp weapon.
-Ugh.- The Beast Knight landed on one knee as one of his Conceptual Blades vanished as he grabbed the wound, putting pressure on it and trying to find out the degree of the damage. Luckily it was a flesh wound, but just a couple of cms away from becoming a very troublesome injury. She clearly didn’t want to kill him, he wanted to incapacitate him, her words were true, if not she would’ve easily aimed for his heart or any other vital spot. Callis stood up in a flash, his weapon still on guard for any follow up attack from his opponent, his left hand still pressing his kidneys. -If you do not desire to kill me and I do not plan to vanquish your undead blight from this world…. Why are we fighting? What are you looking for in this distant location?- The Beast Knight decided to attempt to find out what was their end game and try to dissuade them. Still he was on guard, flourishing his blade back to a guarding stance as he asked with severity. -Is it true that you or your master plan to desecrate this body?-
Goemon noticed that his kick wasn’t as effective as it should just after it connected. The feeling of the impact was off. As soon as he landed The Karate Star reinforced his guard, taking a highly stable Shiko Dachi stance and strengthening his muscles. Her boast was more than enough confirmation that his feeling was correct, but soon he had something else to worry about, as the temperature started to drop and the snow enclosing his feet started to harden into ice, trapping him. -What the heck!?- He exclaimed, confused about this development, as he mistakenly thought she was only capable of generating heat, not controlling the temperature around her. He knew he could take his legs out from the icy shackles, but he didn’t have enough time, his opponent charged forward with a frenzied pace. -Goddammit.- Was the only thing he managed to utter as he hastily arranged his arms in a cross guard over his chin, trying to block the incoming uppercut.
He was partially successful, as his improvised block managed to stop her fist from getting a clean hit out of his chin. Yet the blow was powerful enough to blow his guard apart and send him flying upwards. The lower part of his Gi pants was torn of by the ice, part of his skin as well when he was thrown towards the stone roof. Mid-air he considered his options, he could bounce from the ceiling and connect a kick or a punch. But that might be taking the fight to her speed, last time they fought she seemed to be get tired fast, maybe her weak point was stamina. -Uhmmm I hate doing this…- He muttered as he broke his fall with a graceful backflip, landing on his feet, cracking the ice underneath. -But I’m going to play defense on this one.- Goemon whispered more to assure himself than anything else. Once again he took a defensive stance, but this time around the layer of Ki around his body started to burn, to protect him from any other “cool” tricks.
His forearms were hurting like hell, even with his Ki defense, that roughly worked as Kevlar against incoming attacks, large bruises started to form around the point of impact of Ash’s uppercut. -That didn’t seem as perfect as you said.- He taunted. -Maybe you would like to try again. Show me that so called perfection of yours...- He asked while mockingly gesturing for her to come and fight with one of his hands. His current strategy was to deflect and counter, avoiding a “north-south” fight. He needed to play it smart and wait for his chance. Plus her punches were strong and avoiding them was smarter than trying to block them or match them, even if he believed he might be able to pull that off. First and foremost he was a martial artist, not a warrior.

Marika's kick sends Jose flying through the air for a few seconds until his body hits against the floor. As he makes contact with the ground, he quickly performs a back roll before sprinting back to his feet and reestablish his fighting stance. As he attempts to take a step forward, his hesitates as he suddenly feels a jolt of pain throughout his midsection. For a moment he couldn't help but respect his opponent's strength and tenacity. But at the end of the day, she is still a criminal, he thought. And it is his duty to take her down. He quickly pushes pass the agony and rushes forward to meet his opponent head on with a fury of blows as he throws combinations of jabs, short hooks, quick uppercuts, and sidekicks as he tries to drive her towards the wall.
Alex watches his foe move forward and a big grin spreads across his face. During the wire thread knifes flight through the air, the lingering wire threads attach to them have create a deadly path, which Haven has surf right into. Moving his hands and fingers in another complex manner with insane speed, the wire threads soon warp themselves around Haven's dome until it has been completely covered with the doll trapped inside. With a few more adjustments, the wire threads latch themselves around the the immediate surrounding until they created a foundation to restrain Haven's movements for the moment. With another swift hand motion, the hunter reaches towards his holster as he readies to use his special Colt to end this. A bullet fired by the Colt would easily be able to tear through any supernatural barrier his opponent could concur. The only issue he had was making sure that it could hit its target. And with his prey stopped by his wire thread trap, for even a split second, would give him just enough time he needed. As he is about to pull the Colt out and fire a shot, his head swing to the side and as he the energy fist punches him. He drops to the ground and struggles to see straight for a while.
