Snow smirked as he let his attack be overpowered by theirs and dodged at the last second before getting in close before saying to Brachi. "Are you taking this seriously? Cause it seems like you are treating this like a game."
 
Cuki felt the pebbles hitting her across the back and she narrowed her eyes at Demi-Fiend. With the speed she gained she thought she should apply the same technique to her arms. With a quick finger jab to her shoulders her arms were much more nimble than earlier. With all the rocks Demi-Fiend tossed she was able to catch the pieces and hold them between the spaces of her fingers. She tossed them to the side and decided to ignore Demi-Fiend and turn her head to Kassava once more.

"Quit running from me!"

Cuki dashed to Kassava with a smirk on her face as she began to slam her hand to woman's face. The barrier Kassava made to protect herself would illuminate slightly and slowly crack under the pressure thanks to Cuki pushing past her body's limit. As Cuki continued her onslaught, each hit would gradually get faster and faster until her arms were simply a blur. As before she aimed for her pressure points, primarily the ones that control the energy flow for her transformations and ones that keep her conscious. At this point there was no doubt Cuki had gotten stronger and faster than when they first began but she seemed to be pushing herself too rough.

I will get stronger! I have to! There is no room for error! I gotta get stronger than everyone here... I must absolutely show my worth!
 
"Hmm... I see some are more preoccupied with lesser things than accounting for the chaos brewing around them. Looks like I'll have to gently remind them there's no time for needless chatter in a field like this. It's getting boring watching them dodge each other back and forth anyway." Bernkastel scanned the arena with her sights set on everyone that happened to be within Demi-Fiend's attack range. The crystal in her hand grew in size as more manifested around it in the shape of cubes. 

"Let's speed this up." She flicked her wrist upwards and watched the cubes bump into the crystal-- it created a volatile chain reaction, leaving the cubes to 'detonate' into large jagged shards, flying down toward anyone within range of the crater. There were several that were descending in close clusters-- any light blades that had yet to still touch down were accompanied by the crystalline shards. As far as Bernkastel was concerned, nobody was safe from it. "Is merely increasing the force of a punch all you brutes ever think about? Please."
 
"You obviously don't know me well enough." Brachi said, before she spotted the shards and dashed backwards to avoid them, with Majin Bara following suit.

Gervene on the other hand was watching her two friends in their spar with Snow. She knew that both Brachi and Majin Bara were used to working together with their other friends back in their home universe, so being together with beings of different universes did not yield the same result of co-operation in that field. As she watched Bernkastel deploy the shards towards the group, she narrowed her eyes at this as this would likely interrupt Brachi's own tactic of testing her current powers against Snow and the others in her own fashion as she was planning to pull out the stops next. That and given her personal friendship with her made her wonder what Bernkastel was thinking. Spotting one shard about to impale Brachi from above, she snapped the fingers of her lower right hand behind her back, which instantly disintegrated the shard into nothingness before it could even touch her. while the other shards continued to fall down towards the crater.
 
"Hmm?" Demi-Fiend caught all the pebbles that were tossed right back at him, observing Vegetto's sudden change of momentum in his movements. However, one of the pebbles managed to slip on the back, scratching him on the cheek. His eyes darted to the bottom corner before shifting them back to looking at Vegetto, seemingly impressed.

"Don't know what happened for that split second there, but for that second, you actually managed to do something worthwhile." Demi-Fiend crushed the remaining pebbles in his hands, turning it into mere dust. "Let's see if you can do that again." Demi-Fiend smiled before immediately appearing in front of Vegetto, grabbing his head once again and slammed each knee into his face before letting go and went for a kick to the chest as hard as he could, launching him towards Brachi, Snow, and Bara.

He landed on the ground, noticing falling shards raining down the area once more. "So Bernkastel makes her move... He noticed that Gervene protecting Brachi from being impaled. "Tch..." He sounds annoyed. "Now that I'm thinking about it, can you even die in this place? I used Gaea rage on that guy earlier, he didn't get turned into mush... I wonder..." He grabbed one of the falling shards and instantly throw it of what it seems to be the direction of Vegetto--instead, it went past him and went straight towards Brach, striking through her stomach.

"Oops."

============

"I actually hit him..." Spina was surprised. Raune's sword being knocked away, Spina swung his right leg towards the ground, kicking up the dirt to flung the sword further away from the man and created an equal footing. "Don't have to worry about you slicing and dicing me for a moment! Even without my Ki, I can beat you down!" Spina boasted, dashing around Raune to find an opening. When he saw such opening, Spina leaped forward for a kick--however, the falling shards from Bernkastel gained his attention, causing him to abandoned his tactics and jumped backward. "What is it this time!?" Spina said as he tried to break the shards by punching one of it. However, when his punch was connected to the shard, his entire right arm crystallized in place. "S-shit!
 
The lich says still reading the book "A little flashy but effective Bernkastel."
 
Vegetto's scowl returned, grunting lightly and tensing up in preparation for Demi-Fiend's movements. However, his head only whipped back from the knees that struck him square in the nose, blasting backwards through the air from the kick to his chest. He cried out in pain as he soared through the air, crashing into Snow first and bouncing off of his back onto the hard ground below. Blood streamed down his right nostril, his arms wobbling as he attempted to stand up.

C'mon...move, arms. Lift...me...up....

He quietly crashed into the ground shortly after, his limbs responding in kind to his demands and losing all strength. He panted heavily, lying in the dirt with his head to the side as the remaining shards traveled down towards the floor. His eyes fluttered for a moment, unaware of the approaching danger once again as Whis' voice rung out in his mind.

"Your mind limits your potential. When your body begins to weaken and stress, your mind will shut it down to prevent you from doing more damage. Shut off your mind instead...and then your instincts will guide your way."

His eyes began to shut slowly, the voice waning.

"The energy is there, the power is there."

His eyelids fully shut, his breathing slowing.

"Let it take control."

=================================================================================

Kassava grimaced, her arms flowing in an attempt to block the punches. However, her eyes darted to the side, narrowly dodging pebbles and having to avoid the shards while Cuki continued her assault. She grunted in annoyance, faltering and slipping in her defense to block the blows.

Damnit...she isn't even worried about those damn shards...how come none of them are flying her way?!

Her eyes widened, the shield formed around her body cracking further and further underneath the pressure.

No...no no no no-

Kassava finally stumbled back, the golden barrier shattering into light particles and her arms flying up to block the jabs at her pressure points. Her head suddenly whipped to the side, however, the blow aimed for her head missing the initial target but striking into her right side cheek. Stumbling back, Kassava roared as a blue flame like aura replaced the golden hue surrounding her body.

"Damn pest!"

She let out another small roar as a massive gust of wind and energy exploded outward from around her body, pushing Cuki back only a step in order to stop her offensive assault. With the momentary break caused by the wind throwing off Cuki's movements, Kassava launched forward with a flurry of punches of her own. However, her speed and movements flowed slower than her typical power, the fists flying slow enough to be tracked and seen.

However, she suddenly stopped, her eyes darting to the side at another explosion of heat that shook the ground beneath her feet.

=========================

A glowing silver fire began to rise on the edges of Vegetto's still body, growing steadily outward. As if the bare skin was like timber, the flames steadily ignited his body as it flowed steadily across every limb. His right arm shot up first like it had a mind of its own, propelling him up into an upright position. With his eyes still tightly shut, Vegetto's upper torso swayed from side to side, each shard wizzing past his bare chest and striking into the ground below. His legs pushed off the ground next, moving him out of range of the remaining incoming shots.

He landed gently on the ground, now a few feet away from Demi-Fiend as the shards aimed towards him erupted into a massive explosion, the wind gusting behind him and ruffling his still black hair and ragged gi. His body stumbled forward slightly, his limbs still adjusting on their own, but he soon straightened his chest out. The silver flame-like glow receded slightly around Vegetto's body once he stood still, glowing particles of lightly appearing and cascading upwards around his body. The silver glow surrounding his hair seemingly ignited the bundles of spikes shortly after, the black strands now shining brightly with a matching shade of silver, his eyebrows also shifting in color.

Now standing tall, Vegetto's eyes slowly opened, his pupils shining brightly with a silver gleam. His typical scowl had mostly remained, but lessened in intensity from before with his eyes trained solely on Demi-Fiend, breathing steadily through his nose. His right arm lifted up seemingly on its own again, lightly wiping the small trail of blood above his upper lip away.

==========================

Whis perked his eyebrows at the sight, but kept a flat expression.

"Oh my, well, at least one of them has already made a step in the right direction."

His eyes turned to Bernkastel, a small frown forming.

"Your attack definitely did the trick, but I would advise we avoid interfering in Demi-Fiend and Vegetto's battle from here on out. Those two are now more than capable of causing enough havoc to disrupt the others in combat, we should focus more closely on the others to help them reach that breaking point."

Whis turned his attention towards Cuki, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Cuki seems to be moving more appropriately...but there's something missing."
 
Brachi grunted as she was struck in the stomach by the shard, falling to the ground as this alarms Majin Bara, who wasted no time powering up as steam blew from her holes, with Brachi herself trying to remove the shard, but falling back to base form within seconds. 

"N... No... h... how cheap..." She said, grunting as there was a sudden purple glow affecting the shard... before it got turned into a chocolate version of itself, allowing Brachi to remove the shard with ease, blood already pooling from underneath her due to the puncture wound. 

Seconds later, a green glow surrounded her, causing Brachi to blink in surprise as her wound itself closed up and vanished as if there was nothing there, being completely healed, before she was glomped by Majin Bara, who was now quite pissed as she turned to Demi-Fiend.

"DO THAT AGAIN AND I'LL TURN YOU INTO CHEESE!" The Majin snarled at Demi-Fiend, pissed off at the gall of Demi-Fiend harming Brachi like that.
 
I got her on the ropes now but it's not enough... I need more! I must become even better! I cannot fall behind!

Cuki bit her lip. Despite having Kassava on the edge she still didn't seem satisfied with the newly unlocked power she had and hoped to have gotten a transformation similar to the other Saiyans. Her eyes narrowed at Kassava's punches and made sure to dodge by shifting her body and slapping some punches away. As she continued to push forward, her arms and legs began to tremble and for a split second Cuki lost her rhythm in moving her body, giving Kassava a free hit to her face.

Thanks to the punch she got she took a step back and looked confused but quickly returned to face Kassava with determined eyes. She took a deep breath and thought about ending it quickly by aiming for the back of Kassava's neck so she wouldn't have to keep hurting her. As she was about to make her move Cuki failed to notice a shard falling in her direction and instantly felt a sharp and intense pain on her left shoulder. She saw blood running down her arm and the sensation on her left arm was numb and motionless. The shard completely impaled Cuki's shoulder and remained stuck there. Little pain was felt from Cuki's side due to her body having a small boost but it would not last much longer. She gritted her teeth and rushed at Kassava once again.

She was only able to attack with her right arm but it looked as if Cuki was trying to force herself to use her other arm despite being impaled. She pushed herself too hard in her attempts to beat Kassava and small cracking noises were being heard from her legs and arms she boosted. Using only her right arm she attempted to slam her palm right on to Kassava's chin in hopes of knocking her out with a swift blow.

However, the is a drawback to striking your limits... The mysterious voice rang again in Cuki's head. You are not ready for such a technique yet, Cuki. 

Cuki was distracted from the voice again and missed her attack, her palm inches from Kassava's face. The force from her attack pushed both Kassava and her own hair back but she was wide open for a counter attack.
 
"Indeed. I wasn't quite expecting Demi-Fiend to do that either... but it got the job done for what I wanted. Even if the trajectory was a bit off." Bernkastel tapped her chin in thought. "Hmm? Her pattern of movement has changed, but she looks distracted by something even with one of the kakera stuck in her shoulder."

She glanced over at Whis. "What do you suggest we do? Some look ready to topple over any minute now ."
