Michael looked at the arena as the next battle started, [color=00a651]"Spirit's have minds of their own. It's the same with animal take over-you can't just control them. Spirits...they need that bond, to be able to work with someone. It's hard to explain, really. But I'm sure I could help you bond"[/color] Michael said, sure that he could help, but knowing it would take a long time. 

[color=00a651]"Which spirit have you bonded with?"[/color] He asked, knowing the Zephyr would probably say that he'd just have to wait and see. Micheal just supposed he still sucked at conversations, because he couldn't think of anything else to say. He sighed softly, thinking [color=00a651]"who do you think will win, at of these two?"[/color]

[@yipeeXD]

Sasha wasn't about to admit that Shujin probably did have her at the end. She had used a lot of magic, a lot of powerful attacks. She just gave a shrug, [color=6ecff6]"A few more minutes, and I would have beat him"[/color] She said instead, not even knowing if that was true. 

She smiled, and said [color=6ecff6]"There hasn't really been any reason to totally go all out"[/color] She pointed out, using ice as bandages on the few cuts that she had, to stop the bleeding as well as on a few sore spots to prevent bruising and swelling. 

She was tired, and so she took the first opportunity to sit down

Tidius chuckled lightly, and shook his head. [color=7ea7d8]"If I unti you,you'll try and flee. Do not deny it. I can see you already trying to figure a way out. As for what I can learn....everything. So many magics, it's intriguing, but you may just be the answer I am looking for. How, for instance, can you have what seems like a combination of magics, despite being of Edolas birth? Is it because of your earthland heritage?" [/color]He mused to himself, his tone thoughtful. 

Tidius noticed her interest in the lacrima, and chuckled again, [color=0072bc]"Answer my questions, and I'll undo your hands"[/color]

[b]Merlina vs Jacon[/b]

Merlina dropped down towards the ground and then heard the boy transform into a hawk. Still falling she stopped as she saw him diving at her.[b] "Big mistake bird boy."[/b] She said her tone suddenly changing. She breathed in deep as her body went horizontal in the air facing his claw head on [b]"Phoenix Squall!"[/b] She yelled and then a burst of green flames began to spew from her mouth towards him. She then flapped her wings toward him and a wave of of green flames fused with enzymes flew along each side of the flames that came from her mouth. She hoped this would hit the boy or maybe that her enzymes would splash on him. The enzymes would burn skin and anything else it touched and when exposed to enough light and heat it would combust. After she produced enough she dove again and then began to run on the ground circling around for another shot. The Captain told them that they could do as they pleased with how they wanted to fight to win but not kill. So it was a good thing that if this boy got hurt she could take care of any wounds he might have.

Jacob banked hard to avoid the shot, and as some of the enzymes hit his wings he was forced to revert to his human form for a moment so that no real damage was done. "Grand Animal Soul: Raven!" He turned into a Raven, and dove directly for Merlina, hoping that the continued attack despite hers would catch her by surprise. He was hoping to knock her down, and then hold her down in a way that would win the fight and prevent her from attacking him. Jacob knew that winning this fight quickly would be the only hope he had, judging by whatever it was that hit his wing a moment ago that is.

Merlina didn't hear a screech of anything so she assumed he wasn't hit and was coming after her. As she was circling around she felt him on her so she took off in a flash into the air. Flying up high she turned and saw him below her now. He was after her and it seemed he had switched to a raven this time. "I see you are quick to change. I used to know someone that fast. It has been a long time since I have had this type of challenge!" She then arced he wings back and shouted as she flipped in the air, "Phoenix Feathers!" her wings arced forward this time and feathers coated in enzyme and flame shout toward him at an alarming speed. Not waiting for him to dodge it she dropped to the ground and vaulted towards him. "Phoenix Claw!" Her fist blazed up as she rocketed towards him. In her own head she began to wonder if she would win this but she wasn't going to be giving up anytime soon.

Jacob continued his dive towards the ground as Merlina began launching feathers at him, pulling up just before he hit the ground, but getting slammed soledly in the chest by the second attack. Forcing him to revert and throwing him into the far wall of the arena. After falling out of the small crater he had made, he stood up and looked at Merlina, that one hit clearly having done a lot. "Damn. You hit a lot harder than I expected." He grunted, looking down at the burns on his chest, and the new hole in his shirt. He shook his head, and refocused on the battle. "Grand Animal Soul: Lion!" He changed into a giant Lion, and charged Merlina again, dodging this way and that to avoid her attacks, still trying to get in close.

Smiling big that her hit connected she jump back as he landed on the other side of the arena. Was he down? No...He emerged scathed from the claw attack. "Well everything beautiful in nature packs a punch!" She said right before he changed into a giant lion. She froze. Cats didn't didn't bother her but this was a really big cat that she had run in with in a jungle before. Horror spread across her face and as he dodged across the arena he came closer to her. She had to shake the fear and quick. There was no escape he was to close. So she did the only thing she could do. She wrapped her wings around her. "Phoenix Aura!" She then glowed green as her regeneration picked up speed and her flames would now burn hotter. She was prepared for a big hit as she could hear him almost upon her.

Jacob couldn't help but be amused at the comment about nature, it sounded something like what Deyja would say, but he pushed the thought out of his mind as he continued to advance one Merlina. He could only revel in the clear fear on her face, this next strike would decide who was the victor of this battle. Once he came within striking distance, he shouted what he hoped would be his final transformation, "Grand Animal Soul: Cobra!" He turned into the giant cobra again, and launched himself the last few meters at blinding speed, trying to pierce Merlina with one of his comparatively small fangs and inject a paralytic venom into her. He put out of his mind how much the fire was going to burn him and his mouth, and hoped that the infirmary was equipped to handles those kinds of things.

She heard him shout his transformation and the fear was gone, but it was too late for her to move so she ignited herself. Which was the only thing she could do in a split second. The enzymes that covered her wings and body burst into flames and it was almost like a small explosion had gone off. He was going to bite the hottest bird he had ever sank his fangs into. Finally she felt it. Fangs pierced her skin and she felt a sort of paralysis fighting against her own healing. Damn that shit was powerful. It made her slow to move. As her muscles grew stiff but not unmoving she reached out with a burning arm to grab his snake body. "you won't take me down without going with me beast boy..." She said loud enough for him to hear. She wasn't going to loose. She would make it a draw but not loose unless he made a killing blow that was.
