Kazi watched as one more straggler made his way to the arena, Zero's brother Rhyme by the look of it. It would seem that the reptilian had grown slothful in the shadow of his much more proactive older brother, his power ranging SO LOW, Liari could have blasted him away with a glance! ...It was kind of sad, really... Almost as sad as this tough-woman act Zerori was INSISTANT on enacting! She spotted a RANGE of emotions flash across the halfbreed's face from shock, to confusion, to resignation, all because of her own actions and stepping up to the Majin. Oh, the twisted grin that flashed across Liari's lips... She would have felt sorry for Zerori, REALLY, she would have, if the halfbreed hadn't allowed her temper to grip her so. 

"I'll do what I want." Kazi scoffed, bowing her head slightly and grinning a sharp-toothed grin. "...But maybe I'll play a LITTLE bit... Go on then. TRY me."

...It was amazing how quickly that small glint of anticipation was STOMPED OUT as Zero RUSHED between the two before the battle could even begin. Kazi's smile FLIPPED around into a disdainful, borderline HATEFUL SNARL as the changeling, so self-important and egotistical was he, DEMANDED he get attention first, NOT EVEN WANTING TO FIGHT, BUT TO ASK HER STUPID QUESTIONS! She... She couldn't believe he was THIS stupid... She had laid down the ground-rules... he KNEW the risks... and yet.... He STOOD THERE, DEMANDING TO KNOW WHY SHE WAS HERE (after she explained why BEFORE ON THE NEWS) and IF she was the majin he was looking for! 

...Zerori would take this opportunity to step past Zero as she STARED RIGHT INTO HIM, restating her desire for a kinda-decent fight before throwing a SHARP DOUBLE-KICK towards her face... Which wouldn't budge. The sweep would stop DEAD against Kazi's legs... and the majin didn't even seem to notice! She only GLARED, SEETHING wordlessly at the changeling as steam ROLLED out from the holes lining her body, her eyes glowing RED in the center where her pupils would have been! A SECOND punch, an otherwise QUICK SWEEP TO HER LEGS would SMASH into Kazi's shins... the only likely effect being the ache of Zerori's muscles as AGAIN, the Majin simply didn't move!

"You... You........." Kazi hissed, her aura starting to BOIL around her jaw TREMBLING with how roughly her teeth ground against one another, the edges of her lips twitching with sheer WRATH! Less than a MINUTE after her rules were established and they were already broken! She... WHY did she even DO ANY OF THIS if they weren't going to follow the rules!? 

Zerori would try one last time (and granted, this was her best attempt yet) to put a dent in her target, SWINGING a MASSIVE ki-charged fist towards Kazi's gut... only for a hand to shoot out and CATCH THE FIST, stopping it dead! It was Kazi... who STILL didn't break her wrathful stare with the changeling, instead FLIPPING a tentacle over towards the half-breed... and firing off a MASSIVE BEAM from its tip, COUNTER-ATTACKING the woman and smashing into her chest! Unless Zerori could counter, she would ROCKET towards the edge of the arena!

"Heh... You know..." Kazi smirked... but there was no joy in it. Her voice had dropped an octave lower and the temperature in the area seemed to drop several dozen degrees. "...I don't know why I bothered with this. All this plotting and scheming... What a fool I was... I should have done THIS from the beginning!"

Slowly, Kazi's form would stretch and twist, her limbs almost DOUBLING in length, then her body, each one swelling to proportionate girth, her skin-tone and eyes starting to darken! SUDDENLY her hand would shoot out and GRAB at Zero's head, her fingers CLAMPING around the crystal that rest upon it, their skin... becoming BLUE!? Her eyes faded to black... before two red glowing irises flickered to life in their sockets, the combed-back tentacle-hair of Kazi unraveling into a much more wild... and familiar style resembling a certain sayain's long, chaotic mane. Her clothes melted away into a black monk-like shirt with a black-strapped, yellow-buckled belt resting beneath. Her pants swelled into baggy rolls before turning the color of white, her boots becoming black-and-yellow slippers.

...Liari towered above them all, the 8-foot majin LIFTING Zero up off the ground by his head... if she had managed to grab a hold of him in the first place. 

"Paparapapa." She muttered tonelessly. SUDDENLY, Zero would feel a hand PLUNGE into his brain and soul, RIPPING out the DARKEST, MOST HATEFUL and SPITEFUL emotions it could find within him, DRAGGING them to the surface whaler pulling ashore its mark! A Black "M" would etch itself slowly across the changeling's forehead as Liari dropped him, his aura suddenly SWELLING with a new, malevolent energy...

"Zero. Your life is MINE now. Be a good little minion and kill Quash." Liari muttered dismissively, waving a hand at the captain with nary a glance! "...You too, Rhyme. Purge that saiyan filth. ...Unless you want me to throw your body on the pile with the rest of these idiots." She GLARED at the weaker brother, DARING him to say ANYTHING in protest. She would then turn back to Zerori... and smile with sinister anticipation. "Let's skip the pretense, shall we, Zerori? Do me a favor... and drop dead."

She would then level her hand at the woman... and FIRE A MASSIVE PINK ENERGY WAVE AT THE HALF-DEMON, THREATENING TO CONSUME HER IN A BURNING PINK LIGHT! Despite Liari's claim... she didn't WANT to kill her. Yet. No, she needed a witness and out of ALL OF THESE USELESS ANTS that had scuttled up to her party... Zerori appeared the most lucid. She DESERVED to break under her hopelessness, to understand how USELESS she was... May her blood BURN in shame... before Liari came to claim it for her own.

The audacity of these damn peasants! Before he could even get an answer to his inquiry Zerori knocked herself into his shoulder, this action adjusted his lips in a snarl as he began to point a finger at her as he channeled his Ki into his finger though she quickly bounced around and he noticed something that troubled him even if it was only slightly. The green majin woman was just staring at him, she was paying no mind to Zerori and her infective blows it seemed. Had his words caused her brain to burst? Was she that much of an idiot? He was not sure, and then he watched as she would attempt to handle Zerori and put her in her place. At first, it seemed as if the big dogs were going to fight it out. Kazi had different plans however as the steam started to pour out Zero lowered his hand he had seen this before and knew that the majin was angry. What a difficult thing it must be to have one's anger so openly displayed and not manageable. Following the steam, some changes started to happen to the majin. His focus changed from her voice and her skin darkened quickly as she tried to grip his head of all things. As if he would allow someone to do something so demeaning to him, especially in front of the others.

As the arm stretched out towards him Zero sidestepped out of the way watching the arm grab right by his face but getting nothing but air, but ass Zero even thought of making a move against her, he soon but then he saw who she was true. Zero perhaps for the first time had been at a loss for words, Liari? But why would she pull something like this and not tell him? If she was playing around because she was bored then telling him should not have been an issue. However, if she was being serious then the facade of Kazi had made sense. Like Ryme, Zero was wondering the same thing, had she been playing them all along? The difference was that Zero had watched her change forms twice that day in the western city as she had absorbed Callion and Kombu. He then felt the magic of his master reach into his mind as it would pull his hate and all the evil within his heart to the surface.

When did she have time to learn this? Zero knew this spell, he was learning it himself but had not yet reached the ability to control the magic of the spell fully. Zero felt the magic coursing through him and heard Liari's voice echoing through his brain. Zero gripped his head as he let out a shout of pain as he fought against the spell. He knew it could be beaten, he knew he could resist and it would be hard. The thing was, he also knew the benefits, the power he would gain perhaps enough power to finally return home to Frost and Kill his father.

Already his hate was building, overflowing even as Liari commanded him to fight as a minion and fight Quash. Though Zero shook his head battling the spell as his will of submitting or pushing the spell off was in an influx battle. Zero felt himself falling more and more into the clutches of the spell, the magic was too great. He needed to face this with more power, so he stripped the weights from his body letting them hit the floor of the arena. A yell of agony lifted into the air as he moved his hands to his side as he stumbled closer to where Zerori had stood before he let his power swell from within and explode as a red aura covered his body as he burst with power.

His body would shift and morph as he grew taller, and his head became longer. He skipped the 2nd form his brother had entered and jumped directly into his third form. Perhaps a small part of him felt bad for the saiyan he was told to face as his power skyrocketed. Yet still, he struggled, and then his shoulders would bounce up and down as a manic laugh began to push out from his lungs and the red aura around his person would calm. When he lifted his elongated head up a Large M with covered ends was found on his forehead, the Majin Mark.

the laugh calmed into a chuckle as he looked at Liari, he was still not keen on being a minion after all he had fought his entire life to prevent things from happening to him and Ryme, so they would be free of Chiller's grip but had now placed himself into the hands of Liari. For now, she had control as he turned to look at the saiyan she had pointed at, though her tone and words to his brother really seemed to push him to his limit but ended up only fueling the mark on his head which kept him in line.

"Well, little monkey time to put you back in the barrel! Hahaha. " Zero taunted as looked at the male saiyan. It was time to show this want to be saiyan why he was not even close to the power of Zero or the Ika Empire. It was time!

Everywhere he went, she was there.

Kazi's body began to morph and change into something that was all too familiar. She grew taller, her ki changed, and her skin turned blue. Kazi, the host of this entire tournament, was actually the one and only Liari.  Quash's eyes widened at this sudden reveal, but the more he thought about it, the more he figured that he shouldn't be all that surprised. When they had last fought, the majin had mentioned that she was going to do something even crazier to this planet soon. It looked like this was it.

"Liari, you motherfu-"

He froze when he saw what happened next. She had taken one of the changelings and done...something to him. She say some strange chant, and suddenly an "M" formed on his head, and was sent to kill the saiyan Captain! Liari had yet another trick up her sleeve. Where was she learning all these new moves anyway? Was she just absorbing more people? He supposed it didn't matter, especially now he had even more on his plate with these changelings. Whatever she did to the red one, his power had gone up. On top of that, his green look-alike looked like he was about to join the fight too.

Seeing that they had begun to transform, Quash realized that this was no time to play around. With his new form on an incredibly short time limit, he was hoping he'd be able to save it as a last resort. It looked like he wasn't going to get that option. Quash's own energy began to surge drastically as his aura turned yellow and pupils disappeared. He had to end this fight fast, then find a way to deal with Liari and end this once and for all.

Hearing the taunt that came out red lizard's mouth. Quash couldn't help but smirk a little as he continued to power up into his False Super Saiyan form.

"You want some? Come get some."

Action 1: Transforming into FSSJ

PL: 125,286

HP: 216,103/250,752
KI: 125,286/250,752
STAM: 250,572/250,75

Liari... Knew not how Zero was able to avoid her hand so easily. With his power as weak and utterly meaningless in the face of the majin's own, he shouldn't have been able to process her FACE before her hand had clasped around his. ...Ultimately, though, it mattered not as Zero succumbed to her mental manipulation. She sensed a DEEP well of darkness UPSURGE from the depths of his soul like a spout of chilling water as his reptilian shape writhed and twisted as in sheer AGONY! The majin smirked, quite proud that she had taken her shackles off and slapped them on Zero, Quash muttering something in shock and distaste in her direction, something that caught a glance from her!

"Oh, come now Quash. You don't have any love for Arcosians, right? You should be LOVING this!" Liari snorted! "C'mon, look at him! The way HE'S going now, he might just blow up! Don't tell me you don't like fireworks!"

...She wasn't entirely joking either. With a surprised, yet darkly gleeful face, she watched as Zero began SWELLING UP like a fleshy balloon, growing out, then UP, his head following suit as it elongated RAPIDLY backwards! Liari couldn't help but CACKLE with amusement, clapping her hands slowly in pseudo-applause as a new and improved Zero stood before her! MUCH taller, MUCH more powerful and FAR more sinister than his previous form! He looked almost like a futuristic space vehicle with how sleek he now was... able to cut through space and bodies... with a gesture. 

Rhyme followed his brother's example and took to a SECOND form, his body ENGORGING like Zero's... but not growing NEARLY as much nor taking on as an intimidating shape... though he was now nearly as tall as the majin herself! 

"Well, Quash? What will you do against my little entourage?" She spread her arms to either side, gesturing at Zero with one and Rhyme with the other! "Do tell me you've unlocked that golden form of yours. Without it... I'm afraid you won't stand a-" 

...Quash transformed into his manic FALSE-SUPER SAYAIN form, much to Liari's disappointment, her smirk degenerating into a frustrated scowl. "...chance. Well, at least I still have Zeror-" Liari turned back to her target who had SURVIVED that point-blank blast, surprisingly... but what was more, she now had her hands up near her face, fingers spread wide on either side in a fan-like shape! What the hell was- Liari's eyes widened as she brought her hands up to cover her eyes... but she was just a second too late!

SOLAR FLARE!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH!" Liari SCREAMED as BLINDING LIGHT FROM BEHIND AND AROUND ZERORI SEARED THE MAJIN'S EYES SHUT! She clutched at her face, HOWLING AND CURSING as she REARED BACK and HUNCHED over, blood slowly ebbing out from between her fingers and down her hands/cheeks in long purple streaks! 

"MY EYES!" She ROARED, bringing a bloodied hand up in a WILD arch, firing WIDE, FRENZIED beams in the vague direction of the half-demon but never getting anywhere close to hitting her! "YOU BURNED OUT MY EYES! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS, ZERORI! I. WILL. KILL YOU!" The majin ranted and raved for another minute before crouching down low and cradling her face in her hands, her wails of agony slowly dying down into enraged heaves... Just as Zero started flinging taunts in Quash's direction, Liari would rise back up, her hands away from her eyes to reveal the flesh around her sockets seared BLACK... and slowly regaining its color... and deep within the sockets, two enraged scarlet lights glaring out amongst the still-flowing purple tears. By the time she had regained herself, Zerori's energy had just about vanished! It'd be WAY too much trouble tracking her down! ...How dare she... HOW DARE SHE DO THIS TO HER AND THEN RUN AWAY!? Slowly, the majin would RAISE up a hand, her face contorted with abject HATRED as a MASSIVE sphere of energy coagulated within her palm! It PULSATED and SWELLED with wrathful energies, voltage arching across its surface like an unstable generator!

"...I have had enough of this! ALL OF YOU!" She HISSED, her bleeding eyes flicking from Quash, to that stupid namekian, to that weird creature thing hiding amongst the rocks. "ALL OF YOU WILL DIE! YOU WILL ALL..." ...Liari's maddened face would FREEZE... then VERY SLOWLY relax, the orb she had created beginning to shrink back down to nothing as she lowered her hand slowly. "...No... You know what? I think I'll take my time ripping you apart. Go ahead. RUN, if you'd like." She waved one hand at the Namekian and Bioandroid while the other wiped the blood from her eyes. "...I'll hunt you down in time. If you'd rather stay, I invite you to stay and watch. Get an idea of what I'll do to you later."

The stronger of the brother Zero Ika had taken his third form, his appearance had changed. His head had become eggplant like shaped, growing elongated and his horns Morphin his two small spikes, the gem in the center of his head matching that of the size of his head. His body grew taller and more muscle bond, not as bulky as Ryme in the second form that they could use but this form was built for speed and aerodynamics. The only reason Zero had taken this form over the second was not that he thought anyone here warranted it, but because his no is master Liari had given him an order, an order that was playing into a vice of his—because of this Zero had entered the third form to play more with his prey, this Captain Quash. He was no Callion, just another Monkey Muppet here on Earth because he was likely too weak and a coward to take back his own planet. So he had fled to Earth, of course, this was just Zero's analysis of the situation he had no idea.

By the time Zero had entered his form Quash had entered a new form too. Zero saw the power affecting the area and could feel the pressure of the power coming from Quash. Though Zero could not feel how outmatched he was, he could also not sense how beaten Zerori was or how much weaker Ryme was to most of those around them in his most reserved form. The fact that either brother left their most reserved form for the first time since they had left Planet Frost was a tell in itself. Either way, it was looking like across the board everyone was starting to enter their strongest forms for the battle that was to come, sadly for those around them brothers they had no idea the brothers were still holding back. Zero still had one form to go to enter his true form, or what was his Base form. Ryme still had three forms to enter, though he doubted that anyone here would tell the difference between Zero and Ryme's forms meaning they probably thought each form the brothers were in was each of their next forms. The knowledge of their races was limited information after all.

While Zero might have been someone who lacked mercy, he did not lack honor and would not prevent Quash from entering his false super saiyan state, he wanted his opponent to know that everything they had was not enough to beat him. Now that both parties were willing and Quash taunted Zero the fun could start.

Zero gathered energy in his fingertips, and the veins that popped out from his flesh would enlarge in his legs as he pressed off the ground taking a flight to rocket himself up into the air about 3 meters before firing 1 on the red spheres from his hands, this time it was the right index finger that fired the ball of red energy that was about the size of an old earth styled coin. The ball of energy hurled at the Saiyan Quash attempting to blast him in the center of his chest. If the Saiyan would block it, Zero would fly down to Quash attempting to close the distance with flight. As he got mid way towards Quash Zero would extend his left arm out as he fired the other blast from his left index finger allowing that red sphere to sail through the air as it too would attempt to hit Quash in his chest again.

Once Zero got about 2 meters away from Quash, Zero swung with his right fist attempting to land a clean blow into the midsection of Quash. All three attacks on Quash were aimed for the same place on the Saiyan's body for a tactical reason, Zero would be setting up his combo. First, he needed to test what the Saiyan was capable of though, there was no need to go all out on the first attack. In fact, Zero wanted to beat his superior status as the monkey warrior.

Unknowingly Zero was facing one of the very Saiyans he had been looking for, one of the ones who were responsible for the destruction of Orange City, the very ones he had been publicly speaking out against, and the ones that he had used to form an alliance with Red Ribbon Army's Robotic Doctors. If only he knew he could use this moment for more media attention. Though at this current moment, Majin Zero did not care about that. While the Mark of the Majin Mind Control spell bore on his forehead the only thing Zero was thinking of was taking out the saiyan he had been told to kill.

He was so focused in fact that when his little merc that Liari had disposed of with little to no effort had shouted when he had fired off his second Ki blast he did not even turn his attention towards her. Liari would be more than fine he had groomed her well and his brother was also there to protect Liari. He had to admit though when the screams of Liari came when he was lowering his body towards Quash to strike with his fist, he had wanted to look to make sure his master would be okay. If he did not know how fast the majin would regenerate her limbs or body parts he perhaps might have turned to the Blue Monster and seen his brother's attacks on Majin Zero's keeper. At last, Majin Zero had been given an order, and he would be damned if he was not going to follow it through. Not out of fear or respect, but because it was given and also fulfilled his need to kill the Saiyans.

Hearing Ryme's voice however made Majin Zero wonder who his brother was speaking to and he risked a foolish glance over to see his brother firing upon his master. What was he doing? Majin Zero thought. A moment of uneasiness passed through him, he had known Zerori was about as strong as Ryme was in his reverted form, but if she had been dealt with so easily, did that mean Ryme stood any chance?

For the first time ever Majin Zero was wondering if he and his brother were not as strong as they had thought. He had not fought with the blue Majin since he had discovered her on an outing, but when he had watched her fight in West City he had known she had improved, but he did not think she was stronger than him. Even at this moment, he was confident he could beat her, but Ryme was, well just a bit weaker than him. So if Zerori was only slightly weaker than Ryme, and Ryme was slightly weaker than Zero then how much stronger was Zero than Liari, or had Liari surpassed him?

Quash's transformation was complete! His power skyrocketed as he faced down the red changeling, the green one surprisingly having decided to attack Liari. He had no idea what made him decide that this was a good idea, but he couldn't help but respect his courage. In any case, it looked like he was going to have to be a one vs one. He was a little letdown. Sure, it made the situation easier for him, but the saiyan in him was kind of excited about taking on two opponents at once, so it was kind of disappointing. It could've been fun! Zerori sounded like she had let off some kind of a technique toward the majin, but Zero's power increase kept the Captain's gaze on him. There was no time to sightsee, the clock was ticking and he couldn't afford to let his guard down against a species like this. Knowing them, they'd probably use the opportunity to sneak attack him somehow.

It wasn't just Zero's power that looked different, his appearance had changed as well. This larger, more monstrous appearance likely struck fear into the hearts of the weak. Quash, however, didn't waver in the slightest. Compared to Liari's energy which was currently radiating off of her, Zero was more like an appetizer to the main course. As the changeling went to attack, Quash wanted nothing more than to skip the grunts and head straight to the boss fight. This whole saga with Liari had gone on long enough.

Quash was struck in the midsection by the first energy attack! The energy exploded against his body and forced his feet to slide back as he took the damage as best he could. While Zero's attack certainly had some respectable power behind it, being stronger than the blast Liari had sent at him earlier, his body was a lot tougher now that he was in this state. As a result, Quash hadn't received too much noticeable damage. If only there was a way to make this form last longer...

There was no time to dwell on that, as another two attacks were currently being sent his way! He raised his arm to block the second ki blast from his approaching opponent! Quash could already feel his power gradually beginning to slip! This was no time to play defense, and definitely, no time to play with his food! As saw him get closer and get ready to throw a punch, Quash brought his arm back and conjured up a very familiar energy ball. What he was about to do was quite the gamble. It was either use up all of his energy now and try and finish off Liari as fast as possible, or to try and play it safe likely run out of time, reverting back to base form and falling before Liari yet again.

Only one option gave him a chance to put an end to her to begin with.

"BOK CHOY BLAST!"

Quash threw his hand forward and met Zero's fist with his strongest attack! A large, spiraling energy beam that would almost certainly overpower a normal punch was released from the palm of the Captain's hand. If it landed, it would engulf the changeling in energy before sending him away!

He didn't stop there. If the attack had landed, he'd fly off after the lizard, throwing a punch of his own towards his face. He'd keep the pressure on after that, continuing to throw a flurry of powerful punches that would be aimed at the changeling's torso as well as his face. To end his short combo, he'd perform a quick spin and carry that momentum into a backfist aimed right at his jaw in an attempt to send him back into the ground.

Despite the aggression in his attacks, he was mainly aiming to knock him unconscious. His viciousness was mainly to make sure he’d be down long enough that he wouldn’t be able to interfere for the rest of the fight. Before he could kill him, he needed to know the full extent of his group’s plans. This little tournament couldn’t have been it. There had to be more… right?

[H3OT3] Bok Choy Blast!: A large red ball of ki now surrounds Quash's entire hand. He throws his hand forward and launches a considerably large energy beam from his hand. In addition to the red spiral around the beam, a black electricity surrounds the beam as well. Now, if he misses, he can redirect the blast to try again!

100% energy to direct an attack with 85% damage towards your opponent on the first post, if it misses you can use an addition 5% Stamina each turn to guide it back towards them.

Action 2: Uses Thunder Trash! 33% PL! 496,132.56 Damage and reduces stam by the same amount!

[OT1] Thundering Thrash: Using his Three Section Staff, Quash wields the two ends like batons as he throws a flurry of close quarter strikes at his opponent's body. If he, for whatever reason, doesn’t have the weapon on him, he uses his fists instead.

Action 3: Uses Lightning Lash! 33% PL! 496,132.56 Damage and reduces stam by the same amount!

[OT1] Lightning Lash: Quash, using his Staff, strikes his opponent with a spinning side strike! If he doesn’t have his staff, he does a spinning back fist instead.

(If Zeros health goes to 0 here the intent is for KO, not death)
