Once again the flurry of exchanges took place. Cipher Red throwing them, and Shemha blocking and parrying them. But Cipher Red knew he held a bit of an advantage. Shemha must have burned up plenty of her stamina with her Final Flash, and her injuries would wear on her. Cipher Red by comparison was in much better condition, and the unlimited energy module in his body would ensure he kept going.
And it seemed to be the case, as one blow got through her skilled guard and connected with her jaw. For a brief second he smirked, before watching the majin's body suddenly stretch, using the momentum from the blow to snap around behind him. Before the android could turn around, he felt a sharp blow to the back. Cipher Red managed to catch himself from falling forward, giving a small growl from Shemha's words.
His arms suddenly swung back behind him, firing a set of ki blasts downwards towards Shemha's feet. He didn't expect the attacks to hit, only for the blasts to kick up plenty of dust and smoke. Suddenly Cipher Red launched himself backwards, twisting his body to where he sensed Shemha's energy. He didn't need sight to find her, unlike others. He swung out a fist, aiming to catch the majin in the face, but would be content to hit anything.

The connection was a solid one, the double axe handle blow smashing into the androids back. Unfortunately it was not enough to send him to the floor, but it did cause a slight separation. Shemha’s original plan was to follow up when he was down and unleash a barrage of strikes. However, with him still standing the layout of the battle changed. He definitely wasn’t a push over.
Twin blasts exploded at her feet, the arena below them durable only to a point and as a result of the explosion, dust choked the air. Familiar with the strategy and the complication his untraceable signature provided, only a fool would stand their ground. With a kick of her powerful legs the majin was airborne. Breaking free of the cloud in a burst of red energy, trails of dust followed in her wake. The quick maneuver avoided his swing, letting the powerful blow do little more than scatter the particles his blasts tossed into the air.
Flight activated in conjunction with the backwards leap, she put distance between them again. Seeing his lack of signature for the advantage it was, she took action to counter it. A hand shot for the left side of her tunic and in one fluid motion she plucked the scouter there from its resting point and slapped it to the side of her face. As it chirped to life, Cipher Red’s energy was clearly displayed. His days of sneaking about the fighting grounds were over. Her path continued to take her higher and as she rose above the battleground, she felt her energy levels finally back to normal after that wasted Final Flash. Now he as in for it.

Cipher Red grunted in irritation as his counter attack missed her. The majin was definitely no slouch. As the majin put some distance between them, he saw her pull out a scouter and slap it onto her face. Now that was more like a saiyan. How many scouters had he seen on their soldiers? Good thing Cipher had no intention of hiding from his enemy. He was going to end her.
He thrust out his palm and began firing ki blasts at her, remaining in place. He'd keep her moving, keep her on the defensive, while at the same time keeping her at arms length. But he wouldn't go all out. He needed to conserve energy. He didn't get to where he was by being stupid, and although her final flash was a disappointment, he was smart enough not to write her off just yet.

A string of blasts shot forth from android’s hand and with precise movements, Shemha began to dodge them. Wasting little energy as she limited her movement to only what was needed to narrowly avoid the blasts, she couldn’t help the feeling that he was stalling for something. Head snapping aside as she avoided yet another blast, she spoke.
”For someone so disappointed in their opponent and confident of his previous feats, you are rather hesitant to act. Don’t tell me that confidence was all bluster. I would hate to be disappointed with an opponent who is incapable of offensive maneuvers now that I can track him.” She observed with a matter of fact tone.
As she saw it, the moment she was able to track him with her equipped scouter was the same moment he chose to hold back. Maybe part of his strategy was to play himself up, elevate his potential so that she might make a mistake. She was curious how long he might keep this up for she was capable of defending herself all day.

Cipher Red watched as Shemha rather efficiently dodged his blasts, but provided no counter attack of her own. To be honest, it was really getting annoying. Finally, when she did respond, it wasn't with an attack, but with words, calling his pride into question. Her words annoyed him, but no for the reason she had intended.
"Ok, first off, you having a scouter doesn't intimidate me. I'm at war with the SSE for crying out loud. Scouters are part of their uniform! Hell, the Arcosians used scanners and look how well they ended up. Honestly, the fact you didn't put it on until now when you knew I was an android says more about your intelligence, not mine."
"Second, I've gotten a little tired of having to lead this fight because my opponent is too chickenshit to throw a fucking punch! Seriously, you have done nothing in this fight except counter attack and defend yourself! I've been having to lead the entire time. Listen, I get you're embarrassed over your failed Final Flasirritate on. Don't tell me Universe 15's SSE is so timid, that they'd have to outsource the command position to someone like you!"
He threw his hands up in frustration. "I mean, give my universe's Habana some credit. She went down like a bitch, nut she at least tried to fight back." He sighed in irritation. "So, if you're not going to bother putting any effort into this fight, then why should I?" He glared up at the majin. "So, what's it going to be? We either stand around doing nothing until someone calls it?" His energy flared around him, "Or are you going to come down here and fight me!?"

Perspective drove everything. Shemha mocked Cipher for his lack of current offense, yet he saw her defensive measures in the same light. Ultimately the pair of them both played to win. Defensive, offensive, passive and aggressive, no matter the strategy used, it was just that, a strategy. Deceptive in her approach to the fight at this point, Shemha’s neutral expression did not hint at the enjoyment it masked. His reaction was exactly what she wanted.
”Have I struck a nerve?” She questioned after he shouted up to her. Accompanied by a spike in his energy levels she assumed she had. The information he presented revealed a bit more of this Universe he called home. Habana was defeated, yet he was still at war with the SSE. Did other powerful warriors live? Was there a version of herself in this place and if so…was she even part of the Empire? With the realization that other versions of individuals exsisted in separate realms one could easily get lost in the endless questions that presented. With a blink she saved herself from further distraction.
”Fine then, I’ll give you what you want.” Shemha conceded as energy began to pool around her. Still in the air though, the majin’s red aura roared with new life. Expanding around her as the energy within her magical form grew, her eyes remained locked on the android. Despite his rant he did make a point, these fights were only allowed a limited amount of time to conclude. She would be damned if a judge’s decision was to decide her fate. In this tournament Shemha wished to lose or win by her own hand.

Cipher Red's eye twitched at her comment. She had indeed struck a nerve. The woman had committed an unforgivable sin in his eyes. She had made their fight boring.
At least she was rising to the bait. Whether it was his own charging energy, or the reminder that there was a time limit, it seemed to have goaded Shemha into charging along with him. As her energy crackled along her body, his own surrounded him like a swirling maelstrom of malice. Through the chaotic energy, Cipher Red smirked. "See? Now that wasn't so hard was it? Next time we'll see if you can do it on your own." He wouldn't act just yet. He was waiting to see just what she'd do.
------ Ki Control [SU3] charging. 200%-300% next turn.

”Hard? No, not in the least. Perhaps I was just waiting for you to make your move? Don’t tell me chivalry lives with you and you wanted to give me the first move.” Shemha mocked from above him. There was clearly no love lost between them, the pair of warriors from different worlds and different environments. Shemha had to wonder, if the creators of this tournament weren’t so powerful, what chaos might they have invited here? The thought of the various warriors that populated the tournament going wild was more than she could truly imagine.
To match him, her energy levels continued to raise, slender figure bulging slightly as a result. Sparks of red danced around her, decorating the air within her aura as her energy continued to flare. Earlier she attempted to take the initiative with her Final Flash…now it was his turn to make the first move. He may have been bored, but a fight consisted of two people and both contributed to its intensity.

Cipher Red's eyes narrowed as the surging energy between them grew, effectively filling the ring with a storm of energy. "I thought we discussed this already. I've been making the first move this entire time." A smirk then spread across his face, "But then again, I should have expected this. After all, I'm the guy leading an empire, and you're the queen's pet Majin." He slowly lifted his arms out, the red energy surging around his palms. "So enough stalling, let's get back to the action!"
"Blood Rain!"
He threw his palms out in front of him, the energy combining briefly before bursting. Streams of blood red energy fired out, all of them surging towards the charging majin, filled with all the malice and frustration the android felt towards his opponent. Cipher Red expected a counter attack, but at least this was better than standing around charging all day.
------ Blood Rain [MD3] fired. 1,500,000 PL of rage heading for Shemha, intent to knock out.

Impatience appeared to be this version of Cipher’s biggest weakness. She understood fights needed aggression and when the time right, taking the initiative could win you the day, but like he had done before, she baited him. Power surging around her as she maintained her elevated position, she let him spout another one of his accolades. Leading an empire? Perhaps he was more like Vi-Poi than she originally thought. Then again, Vi-Poi tried to skirt the line, holding absolute power while wishing to be viewed as the hero. At least Cipher Red had gone beyond that and let his confidence support his true character.
As the android released his gathered energy, Shemha watched the red Ki descend towards her. Charge maintained she dropped towards the ground, looking to get close enough to the arena floor before enacting her plan. Milliseconds felt like minutes as the engorged blast came ever closer. Then it collided with her still charging frame and devoured it. The explosion from the resulting blast engulfed a large section of the grounds along with her, a collective gasp coming from those gathered. For a moment the mystery persisted, what had become of the red warrior?
A moment later the answer was revealed as her slender form phased into view behind him, right arm drawn back. In a clear mockery of his earlier tactics Shemha’s after image technique saved her from the fight ending blast and only the image left behind suffered the hit. While she utilized the enhanced speed to get behind him, she also allowed her body to shift. No longer did her right arm sport a thumb and for digits. Instead her fingers had fused and her forearm grown, the combination of molded flesh forming an organic blade. One that drove forward for the small of Cipher’s back.
”Disappointing, right?”

Cipher Red had expected a number of things. For Shemha to counter his attack with one of her own. To try to dodge or defend against it. What he didn't expect was for her to do the exact same thing that he had done! He could feel her energy rushing behind him, and the android tried to spin around to defend himself, just in time to get the majin's organic blade in his side, rather than his back like she intended. Pain shot through the android's body. At the Majin's mocking words, a twisted smile spread across Cipher's face.
"Hardly. This is the sort of thing I'm talking about!"
He gripped the arm that was embedded in him and tried to pull it to the side, tearing the blade from his side. The android ignored the pain, infact relishing in it. Still holding onto Shemha's arm, he tried to yank her towards him, lunging forward to try and sink his teeth right into the majin's throat.
------ Got stabbed in the side, now going for a taste of majin.

Shemha’s bladed arm bit in, not into Cipher’s back as she intended, but into his side. The glancing blow held its own satisfaction even if it did not strike its true target. Sharpened by Ki, the edge of her weaponized arm cut through metal and components like a hot knife through butter. Her next action would have been dragging the blade across his midsection, but before she could complete the disemboweling swipe he was able to get a hold of her wrist.
Arm jerked to the side, the tip of her blade ripping free of his metal torso, she was trapped in close quarters. Unexpectedly though his next strike came not from his free arm or a raised knee, but a wide open mouth. In almost animalistic fashion his maw widened and dove for her neck. If she hadn’t known any better, she would have thought him one of those rare vampire-like creatures.
Thankfully she was not limited like many organic creatures to the appendages her natural form possessed. Just like with her weaponized arm, the Majin’s body was capable of astounding reshaping. The two arms she currently possessed shifted down and from the area of above them, two more shot forth. Fingers and all formed as the extra arms grew and both hands reached for the underside of his jaw, stopping him short of latching onto her neck. With a low audible hiss she began to shove his head back.
”I have to admit…I’ve never seen an android try and bite anyone before.” Shemha said through gritted teeth.
Right arm restrained and with her two newest ones keeping his head back, only her lower left arm remained unoccupied. It should be all she needed. In similar fashion to its twin on the opposite side, Shemha’s left arm shifted into another blade, the edged appendage stabbing for his left side. If she was lucky, he would soon have matching gashes on both parts of his abdomen.

Taking a bit out of the majin would prove to be a bit more difficult than anticipated, especially since two more arms sprang free from her body to restrain him. As his head was being pushed back, he caught sight of her last free arm morphing into a blade, ready to stab him a second time. Unfortunately, Cipher Red also had an arm free. His remaining arm shot out, catching the bladed arm by the 'wrist', holding the weapon back.
The mad android looked Shemha right in the eyes, giving a cruel grin. Gripping both her arms tightly, he tried to pull her forward, bringing up a knee to strike the majin's stomach. He then suddenly pushed back on her bladed arms, hoping to use the momentum and distraction to stab her with her own blades.
--------- Knee to the gut, followed possibly by majin blade arms...to the gut.

Shemha's newest weapon barely grazed it's target as Cipher’s remaining hand clutched her wrist, not enough contact made to inflict any sort of damage. Even further locked into the struggle between them, the sudden impact of his knee into her stomach caused the Majin to jolt. Jaw clenched in response, she was almost caught unawares of her own redirected blades when the tips bit into her skin.
Cipher’s maneuver was quick...but Shemha's thoughts were quicker. A single thought is all it took for the blades to melt away and her returned fingers poked to her belly instead.
The Commander's eyes narrowed with determination as he held her hands towards her stomach, but those were not the only appendages he needed to concern himself with. Wrists rotating on her lower arms, she clasped his in turn, locking their arms together.
A moment later the hands that gripped his jaw and neck shifted. The right turned in wards, fingers across the front of his throat as they melted into a long thin blade. Her left lifted to point to the side if his head as that too reshaped into her standard weapon, point stabbing for the side if his skull. With this he would not be allowed to bring his head forward unless he wished to push it into the one blade and at the same time, the other stabbed for his head, her lower arms locked tight to keep him from escaping.

His little trick had almost worked. His knee had connected, but her hands morphed back to normal hands before he could impale her. Darn. And he so wanted to say "Stop stabbing yourself," too.
But it seemed Shemha was still in a stabby mood. Gripping his arms to hold him near her, one hand morphed into a blade pointed at his throat, while her remaining arm, turning into another blade, was ready to stab him in the head. What a sadistic woman! Cipher Red actually found himself approving it all. He made a mental note to find some way to turn his limbs into blades. But right now, he needed to avoid getting a hole in the head.
As her left arm swung for his head, his head suddenly went down to the right, just as his legs were coming up from the left as the android flipped his entire body. The result would by his legs kicking the back of Shemha's blade arm, pushing it along further as they flew where his head had been seconds ago.
It also would have forced his arms together, twisted by the sudden movement, right in front of Shemha's sternum as red energy began to glow in his hands.
"Pale Lance."
The attack from close range should accomplish at least two things. One, it would force gummy mcstabby to let him go, and two, the blast should push him back, giving him some distance from here.
And there was also the lovely possibility of blasting a hole in her pretty red torso.
------- Sweet gymnastics followed by a Pale Lance [N1]. 165,000 PL aimed at Shemha's stomach.
