Description: The lines between fantasy and reality are blurring as fans of SNF begin to wonder just how much of what they're seeing is planned out 'sports entertainment' and what's genuine -- and the clamor is rising for the Kasagi kids to be interviewed about the experiences leading up to their current perspectives. Because, I mean, come on. Who doesn't want to hear Mimiru interviewed about her opinions on her brother? (Winner: Kain)
Lights are flaring... seats are packed, the every popular Saturday Night Fight is kicked underway! It is possibly the night that everything will be revealed and things will come into light in regards to the source of Jiro's power. Will Super Mimiru come to light! Will Kain finally reveal his true form to be some evil Hindu god? Will the fat guy in the front row finally get knocked on the floor by the angry fans for saying that Mai's breast are too big?
But in any case, the rectangular block of stone reenfored by granite is ving the stage of a weathered, timeless mouaintop. The rocky stage gives some natural feeling behind it. Though the sounds of cheering and roarng, the Stray Dog is on one side, shutting his eyes with a grumble, "Geese must be in a really joking mood..." He snorts, "No matter... gotta fight with sis." He shakes his head, "Alma would had been more useful."
A fake barren setting. Would be ideal if it weren't for the crowds that are in the stands all around. It feels great for an exhibition match, that's for sure. Even better for a main event like this but... From what Himeko, Mimiru's friend and battle strategist, amongst other things, has told her, it seems that she and her brother have gotten themselves into quite an hopeless fight. Why, oh why must fate torture her such! Though there's no way she's going to back away from this, and Mimiru's definately not one to actually surrender before the fight's even started!
When things get hopeless like that, it just calls on some more Super Mimiru-ness, and so long as she'll stay in that mind frame, she's certain that they'll stand a chance! Well that they'll do their very best! She doubts Jiro'll be much help. Heck, Himeko even stated the possibility that, in street fighting like wrestling, they decided to set up a little match for Kain to beat up a couple of nobodies just for the fan's pleasure. Which isn't really super cool.
Still, Mimiru isn't going to go down easily! Though she's hardly in the mood for all of this taunting and crowd stuff and all.
"Man, shut your big mouth, you're the one who'S being a burden on me," Mimiru says, as if she came out of nowhere, appearing up on the stage! She must have climbed up one of those set of stairs that lead to it somehow, "You gonna get all sappy and dramatic and it'll feel like some opera, and then, you'll get wasted the worst possible way, get broken in bits and lie in the hospital, waiting to get some sympathy from some random chicks," Mimiru shrugs to Jiro and she adds as she approaches, "See bro, I'll give you one advice to one this match. Evade-Smash Ad infinitum. No, no, sorry Jiro but... Getting hit harder and harder doesn't make you less pain sensitive and stronger... IT just makes you dumber.."
Geese's sense of humor leaves something to be desired, as far as Kain is concerned. Because what else could this be, except for a joke? No matter. It's his intention to take care of things quickly tonight, and go on his way. He has no interest in listening to a stray dog yapping at him, pretending to have an understanding of the way the world works. Morals, friendship, betrayal... Kain doesn't want to hear it. The only lessons he has left for Jiro involve surviving under attack.
Kain walks out into the arena without looking up at the crowd, ignoring the roar from both fans and those booing him. It doesn't matter. As for Jiro and Mimiru... He doesn't bother to even dignify them with his attention, simply looking at the SNF staff as he waits for them to finish preparing the show.
"Says the one who has always been smashed to the ground," notes Jiro, who's keeping a smirk on his face. Then, the young man grunts at Mimiru, "I will not get sappy, you irritating runt." He peering towards Mimiru, growling. "Any case, I need no one's sympathy. Let's just get this fight over with. Besides, with Kain, my stategy will be different. After training with him mot through my months, well... I recall that his flames hurt -a lot-."
Then, when Kain shows up towards the ring, Jiro has a smirk on his face, "Oh good, our guest of honor has finally arrived." He growls, "I'll show you how stronger I've gotten." He looks towards Mimiru, "Alright, ready to kick his ass, sis?" Sure, Jiro -KNOWS- that they will lose horribly, but... "Or does Super Mimiru consider this hopeless?" But he's going to play on Mimiru's pride as Super Mimiru to fight to her fullest.
Meanwhile, the Stray Dog tightens his fist and slides his right foot forward, keeping good eye over towards Kain. No dramatic speeches, no cry of anger. ..Yet.
Folding her arms in front of her chest, Mimiru sticks her tongue out slightly and she turns her head to one side, "Bah!" She simply answers, "Right... As if," She says. The siblings haven't really seen each other a lot recently, even less gauge each other's strength. Perhaps Jiro's been keeping track of Mimiru's improvement, but the girl hasn't really bothered to follow her brother's advancement in the fighting circuit.
"Just try not to get in my way, if they set you up with me, it's 'cause you're my canon fodder, ya know?" Mimiru says, lips curling into a wide grin. Nothing like the good old sibling rivalry. The weird Kasagi way to love one another. Mimiru heaves a sigh and she lifts one hand to her forehead as Jiro notices Kain, "Whatever," She says in the background, "I'm just going to stand --- over there, see..." Might be best if she doesn'T want things to get messy right at the start.
Though despite her lack of enthusiam right now, the flames of justice and righteousness still burns brightly inside of her! Courage is her shield and Justice is her sword to strike down evil! Though she's straying from her main objectives as Super Mimiru, she cannot ignore the weak being beaten down! "Never! No matter the adversity, no matter their number, no matter their strength and size, Super Mimiru never gives up! Because even in our darkest hour, there's always a glimmer of hope that'll come to shed away this shroud of despair that covers us and vanquish the darkness around us! Be true to yourself and always believe, such is the Super Way of Mimiru! Nothing'll stand in your way if you follow the path of righteousness and if you fight for noble reasons! Such is the way of justice!" Mimiru says, half-striking a pose.
She heaves a sigh and she waves one hand about, "But you know... I'm a little confused here. Since fighting to become more powerful is evil and since, well, you aren't really doing any better and used to be with him, Jiro, I'm not sure if you're really worthy to fight by my side in the name of Justice and all, I never really saw you repent of what you've done, and it's not like you actually fight for noble causes or righteousness. Not to mention you can be pretty mean sometime.. Hum... Makes me wonder if you wouldn't need a bit of Super Mimiru Retribution!(tm) as well..." She wonders, scratching her chin.
Well! Jiro might not have taken care of the speech, but Mimiru certainly has, "Nonethless! Prepare yourself, villain! Confess of all your sins! I know about them all! Defiler of virtue, followers of vice, adorer of carnage, bloodthirsty maniac, and worse... Worse of all... Thief of lollipops from defenseless little kids! Now you have to answer, the Kasagi Yin-Yang Power! With me featuring all that is good, strong and nice, and Jiro all that is bad, sucky and etc. Sooo! Are you ready to meet your end?"
Slipping his left hand into his pocket, Kain simply looks at Mimiru with a bemused expression. "That's right, have your fun now. Because as soon as these loafers hurry up and prepare to broadcast this, I intend to end things quickly. I don't wish to listen to this mindless prattle from either you, or your worthless brother. This is a waste of an opportunity to have a match which will actually require some effort on my part, and I am not amused."
"Now..." Kain turns to look at the staff, a flickering purple flame forming in the palm of his right hand. "Can we get this farce over with?" One of the techs gulps, and looks to his companions. They nod frantically, and he runs off to the announcer. The fight should be starting any moment now...
COMBATSYS: Kain has started a fight here on the right meter side.
COMBATSYS: Jiro has joined the fight here on the left meter side.
You know, despite of the whole thing of Jiro playing it tough, Jiro -is- a bit hurt at Mimiru. However, he merely shrugs while snarling, "Peh, this is what I gave up my quest for becoming more powerful for." Try to be a better person. He snorts, this morality thing has been a bother and a hinderance to him more than anything. So, when Jiro gazes at Mimiru, he wants to see he well she's going to the back, then she makes her dramatic speech.
Sigh. "I think I am regretting letting morality hinder me now." He shakes his head, then he glares out towards Kain as he is called 'worthless'. "...Worthless, eh?" The Stray Dog brings both of his hands outward, allowing the pure, white flames of fury roar into life, "ARRGGHH!" He snarls out, "I'll show you what's worthless!" He growls, then he immediately launches outward as the match begins. Drawing his right hand outward, he takes the aggressive stance in drawing his flaming right hand out to form into a white blade of chi, "SHINING FANG!" He roars, aiming to swing the blade across Kain's side.
"Reeeeeaddddy?" The announcer said. "Fiiiiigggh... What the..." And the announcer's interrupted by the most unlikely thing to happen! Perhaps a very first in the Saturday Night Fight! One of the participant of the fight is attacking him! Well, more or less. More like someone lunged at him to steal his microphone. What to do when a little girl's clinging at you and harassing you to get what you're holding? Especially considering the fact said person is capable of super fighting! It's a little struggle, there's some interference that causes the speakers to groan loudly but! In the end, Mimiru is the victor and she manages to get said microphone out of his hands!
"Sorry! Going to borrow this!" Mimiru explains. She grabbed it forcefully, of course, she needs it! Jiro can start the hostilities if he wants, Mimiru has her own plans!
Perhaps Mimiru's little speech hurt Jiro but she didn't mean too! She never means too. She's just too impulsive. She might regret it later, but right now...! She has the flame of justice burning in her eyes and she's on a streak! No time for regrets, no time to be weak of heart! She needs to have resolve!
"One-two, testing, testing... Oh great, it works, ahah! That's great," Mimiru says with a grin as her voice's being implified by the speakers! Now there's no way none can ignore her and her words will echo in their head during the fight! Ahah! How bothersome...
"Ahem! Proper introductions weren't done! Behold now, the most vile of fighters, pumping his power from the evil that consumes his heart! Who's fighting against two teenagers, the Kasagi siblings! Stare at him, just see the evilness in his eyes!" Mimiru says, spinning around, "And just look how fiercely he's going to try and totally obliberate my poor brother! Look at the pleasure he's going to take from this carnage! Yeah, that's you Kain, I'm talking about you! Have you no shame? Pffft! Beating on kids like me and Jiro! Only someone who's heart is fully rotted can actually do such a thing while being at peace in his mind!"
Of course, Mimiru is getting ready! She may be staying out for now but she's preparing for any eventuality! Sometimes, words can cut through what the sword couldn't!

When Jiro lashes out at him, Kain reaches out and grabs the boy's fist, snuffing out the blade of white chi as easily as a candle. He shakes his head slowly for a moment, then glances out of the corner of his eyes at Mimiru. "Right. Let's make this quick, shall we?" Kain attempts to use his grip on Jiro's arm to yank the Stray Dog down, while at the same time swinging his foot sharply upwards, aiming to slam a fiery kick right into Jiro's descending jaw, launching him into the air through the sheer force of the impact.

Right when the arm is grabbed and the flames ares snuffed out, Jiro is snarling at Kain, before he's taking a few steps back enough to catch the incoming foot that aims to strike him down. He lifts his arms up, trying to guard against the foot striking right at the stomach. Although Jiro manages to guard the flaming leg from striking him, there is a strong force behind it that still -hurts- the hell out of him. At that process, Jiro is staggering backwards a bit, staring right at Kain.
"S...sh...shit. Still not strong enough." He slowly pulls himself back up, glaring at Kain as he rops to his stance and focuses. "It's funny... I remember I looked up to you as a father.." He snarls, "And you never did keep your word. On attacking folks when he fails to kill him?"
He growls, "...The.. abyss.."
~ well, I'd be careful. You know what they say about gazing too long into the abyss. I'm sure you wouldn't want to become a horrible person like me. ~
"....**** it." Jiro gives up on his own quest for self-improvement. It is to this point to where his flames are suddenly blackening, then they shape itself to a violet color, and he is taking his right fighting stance once more. Jiro is drawing upon the one source that he sworn that he would try not draw from.
Hatred.

Thanks to Mimiru's little interference with the microphone and the announcers, nothing can be heard in the arena. There's only Mimiru's voice. While she's not commenting on the fight, she's certainly getting a lot of attention from them for someone who's not participating! "Just look at that!" She shouts, pointing out at Kain accusingly, "That..."
Mimiru's speech halts and she blinks a few times as Jiro's flames change in color, turning into a bright violet color. Gasp! The color of evil, "Oh... No..." She whimpers. Mimiru seems shocked! She was truly right! Jiro hasn't fully repented! He still has evil in his heart! Oh no! "Jiro!" She shouts.
Her eyes turn over to Kain and she growls, "This is all your fault! YOu've done it, you've corrupted him with your darkness! You're the reason why Jiro's such a bad person and has such loose morals! You've done it all, you've tricked him, abused of him, trying to make him into your little slave, servant to commit your evil deeds! Always staying in the dark and all of that! And you're even spreading your corruption further! No, no, I won't let you! Not this time! This time, Sis' here to protect you! I won't let him bring you back to the dark side! Not if I can help it!"
Well! Mimiru sure knows how to spice up the crowd! Who knows, this may be like wrestling, a whole set-up, or it can be for real, but it certainly surprises everyone about this whole outcome! And just as Mimiru said, she's coming to help her brother! She rushes over Kain and she attempts to strike him with Justice! "Stop making my brother evil!" She shouts, "Super Mimiru Punch!" She shouts as her free hand bursts with bright white chi as she swings it for Kain's midsection.

Kain puts his foot back down on the floor as Jiro staggers away, and he gives the boy a look similar to that which one might give the muttering homeless drunk who's drooling on himself in the alley. Even when Jiro begins to draw on the power of his hate it doesn't seem to impress Kain. "You decided to run away from my teachings, and you can't even do /that/ right? Pathetic. As for you..."
He casually turns toward Mimiru as she rushes at him, grabbing her by the wrist and pulling her right out of her attack as he yanks her up into the air. "I really think you're wasting your time trying to do anything to help him. And there are certainly more productive things you could be doing right now." The hand holding Mimiru begins to glow with purple fire, which quickly rushes downward and threatens to engulf Super Mimiru in its unholy darkness!

Growling towards Kain, the Stray Dog is about ready to get in Kain's path as he triggers the flames. He is not happy at all. Sure, Jiro focuses to see that Kain is aiming to grasp his sister. Jiro has a problem with that. Immediately sprinting towards Mimiru's path, the Stray Dog aims to draw his hand out to shove Mimiru out of the way, to keep her from having to deal with the flames. Then, the Stray Dog tightens his fist and he launches out towards Kain's path, releasing the flaming fist to strike Kain against the cheek.
"Pay attention, asshole!" The flames do not even bother to compress to the colorless chi, but there is a wild-like explosion to it. At the same time, however, those grasping flames did catch Jiro, and they are hurting the hell out of him while he's at it.
~ Shit.... too strong.... he's too strong! ~
He is fallng backwards, but he catches himself, a little hunched over and burne as well. "..Sh...shit."
A slight miscalculation there! So much for the fist of justice righting the wrongs! While holding the microphone in one hand, Mimiru's body remains a bit limp. She has a plan, she always has a plan! She can only hope she'll be able to use her nimble body to twist herself out of this. However, before she even has the chance to react, Jiro has to jump in and knock her out of the way, out of Kain's grasp.
Mimiru growls a bit -- it didn't hurt too badly, but it was still a bit painful. The girl falls down a couple of feet away, the movement and the actions of the fight being echoed through the speakers, sometime in a more or less unpleasant cacaphony, enhancing the feeling of the fight or making it more painful to bear, depending on who you are!
Mimiru grunts and she straightens herself up, glaring to Jiro, "Huh! After I'm through with him you're next Jiro -- I'm not going to let this seed germinates inside of you! I won't let it! I still can't believe you've done this! How could you!" She shouts.
Though right now, the bigger threat is Kain, and so, Jiro's spared of all of this and Mimiru lunges at him, trying to get to his side to attack him, so she's not in Jiro's way. She attempts to give him a high kick to his midsection.

Well, Kain probably should have expected Jiro to do something suicidal. There's not much else Kain can do to stop Jiro's attack, but there's not much needed. His head snaps to the side from the impact of Jiro's fist, but it seems like Jiro got the worst of the exchange by far. And then here comes Mimiru, forcing Kain to step to the side so that her kick swings harmlessly through the air next to him. He wants to continue pressing the attack, and he almost does... But then he remembers the blasted stipulation from Geese, forcing him to stay his hand.
Sure, Kain could go ahead and ignore it, but then he might get set up with even /more/ fights like this, completely defeating the purpose of participating in SNF in order to test himself. So, irritating as it might be, Kain just stands his ground, giving Jiro and Mimiru a chance to regroup.

"..." The Stray Dog lifts his hand up, shuttingis eyes as he channels forth his chi. His eyes widen when he looks at the violet chi erupt around is body. It... has been a while since he has seen the manifestation of his hatred. The Stray Dog is just gazing at it for a few moments, calling out the hatred to seep out of hi form and into the hand.
~ What... what am I doing?! ....No. ..This self-improvement bull... Now I remember! ~
Growling ferociously, the hand winds back with the trail of purple flames following suit. The chi erupts around his body and begins spiralling around him until the chi is absorbed all into the right hand. Like a dragontail, the flames behind the hand waves around as Jiro sprints towards Kain, "I'll show you who's pathetic!" He immediately throws his right hand forth, aiming to smash the hand into Kain's chest. "This is for leaving me to -DIE-!" Following in suit of the fist is the explosion of chi blasting outward like a geyser. A multitude of large, violet shockwaves lash out in suit of the punch.
"Snap out of it!" Mimiru shouts. The girl growls a bit, narrowing her eyes a bit. She'S not in the best of situation to call him back to reason! "Stop it! Don't let it consume you Jiro! IT just shows how weak you are! You don't fight evil with evil!" Ahhhh. Well that's not going to help all that much. Just like in the introduction Mimiru gave -- looks like Mimiru'll be the ying and he's going to be the yang here.
Her eyes turn back over to Kain and she glares at him, "You're all responsible for this! You'Ve spread all of this hatred and darkness into him! Why did you have to do such a thing? I bet it just amused you to watch him being consumed and give in to the darkness! Well! I won't let you harm him anymore! Not as long as I can!"
And with that, channeling her own chi, the flames swirl around her legs, gathering down her feet, a pure immaculate white color, the radiance of justice and righteousness! Let the smitting begin!
And right from the other side, Mimiru leaps toward Kain, spinning on herself to try and deliver a nasty kick to his face, "Super Mimiru Kick!"

Jiro's fist crashes into the palm of Kain's hand rather than his chest, and although the waves of energy slam into the German, it's considerably less effective than Jiro might have hoped. Especially when showing Kain "who's pathetic". It does provide a brief opening for Mimiru to take advantage of, though, as her glowing kick drives home into the side of Kain's face, jerking his head to the side. He still straightens back up afterwards, however.
"I grow increasingly weary of attempting to lecture to children about the way the world works. If you wish to live in your fantasy world, in which I am the boogeyman, go right ahead. I wash my hands of you."
And then Kain returns Mimiru's kick in kind, spinning around quickly before launching himself at the girl, intending to drive a flaming kick square into the center of her face. Not exactly a proportionate response, but Kain was never one to go easy on anybody.
At the ineffectiveness of the flames, Jiro's eyes widen, "...Damnit...I'm still not strong enough..." He sees that Mimiru is working her way into the fight. It can't be helped now. The Stray Dog is immediately launching himself out towards Kain, aiming to continue with his pressing of the attack. His right hand extends outward as he seeks to take the Heinlein down with a clothesline. He will have to work with Mimiru on this.
Kain will feel the Ultimate Move: Clothesline.

"You're the one trying to ignore the reality by shrugging off what we say! You're not even man enough to actually assume the responsabilities of your own action! And you dare to call yourself an adult? You're just as much of a children as we are if you can't take those responsabilities!" Mimiru protests, swiftly ducking to avoid the incoming kick. Himeko had warned her about him! And the last thing she wants is to know how hard he hits like Jiro has tested.
The girl stumbles a little from the shift to her defense and she attempts to get right back at him, "How weak that makes you! No matter how strong you are, you'll remain a pitiful boy! Tsss. That's why, unlike you, I have the strength to defeat you, because I'm always honest to myself!" Mimiru claims as she attempts to get sneak up behind Kain so she can get a hold of his body just as Jiro attempts to clothesline him! With a bit of luck, she'll be able to use the force of the impact to simply suplex Kain all the harder into the ground.

"I gave your brother precisely what he asked for, and explained it to him multiple times. If he was too dense to realize what he was dealing with, that is none of my concern, except so far as my time has been wasted." Kain shifts his feet as Mimiru grabs him, moving his weight to prevent her from lifting him off the ground. "I'll deal with you in a second. /You/-" He turns to look at Jiro, "-are being more annoying."
And Jiro does manage to slam into Kain... But not to follow all the way through with the clothesline. Because as Jiro comes into contact with Kain, Kain places his hand on Jiro's chest. And an instant later there's an explosion of purple flame which sends Jiro sailing back away from Kain.
"...Arrgghhh!" Jiro is meeting a facefull of chi against his form, and the young man immediately winds back and crashes against the ground. His head lowers he coughs up a bit of blood. "...Shit... I... I won't lose..." His eyes narrow towards Kain, slowly getting back onto his feet. His right hand bleeds, but he still lifts it up. Then, Jiro straightes himself and lowers his head, drawing forth the chi to start spiralling along his hands. "...Hrmph." His eyes narrow once more as Jiro gathers the chi to engulf his form.
~ There's another reason to be careful about gazing into that abyss. There's another reason to be careful about gazing into that abyss. ~
Within a three foot radius a circle is formed. The glowing circle of light gives off a bright shine, then it spirals out a Jiro growls at Kain. "I suppose I'll take my chances with the abyss, eh?" The fist emits a brighter shine as he ss, "REBEL!" Then, he slams his fist towards the ground, "SPIKE!" All around Jiro, the uncontrollable chi makes its presence known. But instead of the muiple geysers around, the violet chi is aiming to put Kain within its vicinity.
"Impossible! This can't be true, surely he wouldn't...!" Mimiru says. However... There's obviously a bit of doubt into her voice! Jiro had taken the path of redemption on his own, yet he did actually return to his evil ways so easily, and it was only partially because of Kain, right?
Mimiru turns her eyes over to Jiro and she frowns, "Is that true Jiro? Did you decide to do all of his despite knowing what it involved? Answer me, I need to know!" Even now, it doesn't help that Jiro's still using this manifestation of his chi against Kain, using his hatred and evil power against him! That's no good.
Mimiru waits for the good time to strike. With Jiro unleasing his chi over Kain, she waits for all of it to dissipate to lunge at him. Hoping to get an opening out of this, she tries to get a hold of Kain's right arm and shoulder and stride by his side. THen she'll simply sweep his legs off and slam him down.

A thought is all it takes for Kain to summon up his own chi, driving off the energy being blasted at him by Jiro. Some if it makes it through his defenses, but not enough to be a real danger. It is enough to open him up for Mimiru, however, allowing her to grab his arm and knock him to the ground. He falls... And quickly gets back up again. He starts to summon up some power to just crush these annoying kids and then... Remembers that damned rule. And so he falls back, waiting once more.

The Stray Dog looks at Mimiru, "I would had given anything to be stronger. I did not care what the cost was at the time." He glares at Mimiru, "I was so god damn angry of not being able to do anything against Kurow when he first stalked you, so I agreed to learn from Kain, no matter -what- the cost was."He pauses, "Then, it grew to the desire to best everyone... to not be -weak-. I was tired of being the weak one. I was tired of being in the need to be bailed! I was tired of being treated like a damn burden." He looks at his little sister, "...Then, I remember our fight when I almost turned my back." He grits his teeth, "...Then I let Alma, Hotaru, and your advice sink in and but the whole morality..." He pauses for a second, "...Damnit, this is a Saturday Night Fight, bug me about it afterwards!" He growls, then he glares at Kain.
He immediately sprints towards Kain, then leaps up in the air and swings his foot at the man's face with a roundhouse kick.
Mimiru staggers back, regaining her composure a little. Her eyes wander over to Jiro as he gives his explanation and she blinks, "Jiro..." She frowns and growls, "You're being weak again! Now's as good as any other time to talk about it, you're just trying to turn away from all of this! You've got to take responsabilities!" Mimiru says with a grunt.
"The reason you're weak and always will remain weak is because you've always wanted this power for the wrong reasons!" Mimiru snarls, "Even now so, you want this power to best Kain, for what purpose? Why do you use it even now? You've just got it all wrong!"
Still! Despite all of this, Mimiru assists her brother in attacking Kain. She tries to squeeze him from behind and deliver him a hard smack to his midsection while Jiro's taking care of the face.

"If your desire was really ever to not be weak, then I'd say you've failed pretty badly." Even as Kain takes yet /another/ blow to the face, and his jaw is starting to actually hurt a fair bit now, he still manages to shrug it off as Mimiru comes at him from behind. "Can you even protect your sister?"
And with a wave of his hand, Mimiru suddenly finds herself attempting to punch through a rapidly moving wall of flame heading in her direction. Her fist still manages to come into contact with Kain, but it can hardly be considered a clean blow.
"Not in front of over ten million people, it's not!" He growls, twitching a few times. Already, Jiro has the feeling of Daigo, Sakura, and many more shaking their heads at this. He snarls out towards Kain as he growls, "I'm tired of being bailed out, I'm tired of feeling like I'm weak, I'm ---..." Kain's words earns yet another snarl with the fist, then he looks at Mimiru, "Mimiru?!" His eyes widen, then he glares at Kain, pushing back as he extends both hands to the air, forming two white ball of fire. But there is that purple taint on them. "RIOT CROSS!"
Then, Jiro crosses his ams outward, the Stray Dog shoots the two flames outward towards Kain's form. It's similar to Schwarze Flame, isn't it?
The flames of energy are more than enough to blast Mimiru away from Kain. She lets a screech of pain as she's hurled off a small distance, thanks to the force of the energy, but Mimiru still managed to actually touch Kain! A little...
The girl growls and she winces, forcing herself back to her feet slowly but surely, just as Jiro leaps off toward Kain to distract him, "Damn it!" She mutters under her breath. This isn't right! Too much hate and taint in Jiro's own chi! This isn't good! "If you just fight for power and not to be weak, you'll always lose and be weak! You've got to fight for the right purpose, it's only then you'll be able to improve!"
Time to unleash Super Mimiru's Fury on Kain! The little girl's own chi's swirling around her and Mimiru's gathering her own energy to empower herself. And here she goes! Lunging at Kain, the chi in her legs making her dash toward him all the faster! And with those flaming white fist, she tries to deliver a few punches to Kain's midsection, along with kicks! A flurry of chi blows.

Apparently Mimiru runs on Energizer Batteries, because she just keeps going and going and going. And the tiny bundle of kinetic force that is Super Mimiru seems to be able to find the gaps in Kain's defenses. Not that any individual attack is doing all that much damage, but combined they're actually working up to be quite uncomfortable. She actually manages to get a grunt out of Kain as she drives her fists into his stomach. "I'll deal with /you/ in a second."
The incoming flames from Jiro... Well, Kain is just insulted by this. He idly flicks his wrist in Jiro's direction, launching out a fireball which slams right through Jiro's flames and continues flying back toward him. "You seriously thought a cheap copy would work against me?"

Jiro has had enough. His eyes shift towards Mimiru with a growl, "For what reason?! Right purpose?! I don't care about truth, love, justice, and that bull****. I don't care about protecting the world and that crap!" He glares, "I tried to become a better person, I -really- have. But it is growing harder and harder for me to bother of thinking if it's worth it!'" He turns around to see the Schwarze Flame breakthrough his own flames, then he frowns and he sprints straight into Kain's path, "Arrrggghhhhhhh!!" He leans forward, jumping -RIGHT- into the flames, and they strike through him like a spear. His eyes widen,then he collapses on the ground. It looks like that Jiro is down for the count.
"...It's... because of this.. I hate depending on people.. Hate feeling useless... hate feeling weak." He slowly staggers up to his feet, glaring at Kain. "...I... can still fight." He coughs up blood. "...I made my promise... that I would become stronger...Before I ever die..." He hunches his back forward, dropping to his knees. "Haha." He limps back to his fighting stance, glaring at Kain. From underneath his feet, a wave of purple flames draw along his feet as he is trying to draw from the last of his strength. Despite of Jiro's bleeding, "..To..." Jiro doesn't say why. However, the Stray Dog leaps off from the ground, launching over towards Kain. He is sending the right foot out towards Kain's face. Along the way of the kick, the purple flames ignite out to strike Kain, then he draws to release another right spinning hook against Kain.... before he goes limp and collapses to the ground.

After that little pounding, Mimiru staggers back some and her eyes wander off toward Jiro. She frowns a bit and shakes her head at his words, "You're a big dummy, you know that?" She says. Her lips curl into a smile, trying to at least see the positive in the current situation, even if Jiro's bleeding and all beaten up, "See? I told you, you were gonna end up all beaten and broken and gonna go to the hospital and get some sympathy sex from your hot loving fans, ahahah'" Of course, Mimiru'S kidding. A light touch in the middle of a bit of drama! Sure changes the mood a little.
"IT's not being weak to have to depend on others -- in fact, it's all the others who gives you the strength to fight to your fullest! And it'S that strength I'll use to finish this fight!" Mimiru says. Jiro may not hear it, but still...! She rushes over Kain and she tries to sneak up close to him before getting blasted, "Super Mimiru Uppercut!" She shouts, a burst of energy under her feet causing her to leap up real high, her fist trying to connect with Kain's chin as she rises up.

When Jiro leaps toward Kain in a last ditch effort... Kain simply walks forward, striding toward Mimiru and letting Jiro and all of his pent up hate energy go flying past him. The breeze causes Kain's hair to flutter a bit. So Jiro managed to accomplish that much, at least. As for Mimiru... Getting blasted? Oh, how Kain would like to do that. So very, very much. He's just itching to do so. But there's the rules. However, you had best believe that he intends to make up for it. Mimiru gets one more free shot; Kain intends to end the fight before Geese's little torture for him comes up again.

"Now it'S between you and me," Mimiru says, bitting her lips. She straightens herself up a little as Kain staggers back and regains his composure. Alas! It was a little hopeless fight and he's even not using his full strength! Still... It's in times like this Mimiru wishes Himeko was about. She's the brain in the team, and without her, Mimiru isn't really good with coming up with a plan all of a sudden.
The girl'll just have to do her best! Do what Super Mimiru would do... Fight to the very end and never give up! "Time to finish the butt-kicking," Mimiru says, before she adds up to her attack by trying to hit Kain's knee with a sidekick.

Kain gets hit in the knee by Mimiru, but he stands his ground. In fact, he uses it as an opportunity to reach for her, attempting to grab the schoolgirl by the front of her shirt. It doesn't really matter whether he does or not, but making this point blank drives the lesson home harder. If that's at all possible. "Might I recommend that the two of you stop bothering me? If you want to help your brother, get him into therapy. It's not my problem anymore."
And that's when Kain sticks his hand right in Mimiru's face. The rapidly increasing blue glow from his hand is a bad sign, but there's not much time to do anything before it suddenly explodes outwards, a wall of force that'll probably end up launching Mimiru all the way into the audience if it should make a direct hit.

This doesn'T look good! It never looks good! Mimiru's been grasped by Kain and she feels the pain's not too far from her if she doesn'T move! Squirming out of her shirt is out of the question, thanks to the audience, so Mimiru has to rely on some more swift and nimble tricks to break free from this. She does manage to wriggle enough so the bit of tissu of her shirt he's hold get out of his grasp and she quickly swings herself over his arm to avoid the blast of blue energy that's about to explode. That was a close call.
Mimiru'S still shaken and she staggers some after that explosion, trying to actually get back into a good position to attack. She has nothing to say. Kain's partially right, it's Jiro's own fault for all of this, and if he's letting him alone, then it's doubly his fault! She tries to approach Kain and give him a quick palm strike to his abdomen.

Mimiru 1/-----==/=======|====---\-------\0 Kain
As far as Kain is concerned, this fight should already be over. These children are proving to be far more vexing than he anticipated, and this match is going on the long list of reasons for which he is going to destroy Geese. Maybe he'll lock him in a room with Jiro and Mimiru, first. Mimiru barely even gets a chance to approach Kain before he's setting off another point blank explosion, sending her flying off while he receives only a light tap in return.
Mimiru might have avoided the first blast, but the second one... Well she didn't get as lucky it seems. The flames are enough to blast her back away into the rocky formations, and she's stopped by some rocks. Which just makes it all the more painful. She's still standing, but... It's starting to be a little hard to remain standing still!
The girl staggers a little, dazed by the impact. She tries to shake it off but it's hard. IF approching him isn't going to do it, she might as well do it from some distance away! Mimiru takes the time to recover from that blast she got by focusing herself on gathering up energy between her hands, letting it swirl and form a ball of pure energy, which one she hurls off toward Kain, "Super Mimiru Ball!"

Kain's response to the ball of energy which Mimiru hurls at him is to simply swat it aside. One would think that would be difficult to accomplish, but apparently it's quite possible, even if it does sting a little bit. If nothing else, Mimiru has ruined Kain's plans to end this fight before Geese's rule came back to bite him in the ass once again. Once more he has to wait and let her run around freely, when he /could/ be crushing her that much sooner. But it can't take that much longer... Can it?

That's just enough time to give Mimiru some time to recover from the shock. She's still a little bit shaken, but she doesn't take further time to recover. Lack of energy to try and attack him from some distance again, Mimiru dashes toward him and tries to follow up. Her energy flares out from her fist and the bright white engulfts those fists as she swings it toward Kain's chest, "Super Mimiru Punch!" She shouts.

Once again, Kain grabs Mimiru's arm in mid-swing as she's attacking him. "Persistence is an admirable trait, but I do not have time to continue this farce. It's well past time this ended." And with his free end he delivers a downward angled backfist, trying to send Mimiru down to the floor. From which she will hopefully not get back up.

It almost ends just as Kain desired it to! That punch almost knocks her down, but Mimiru uses her last bit of strength to deliver one final blow as she's going down, white flames surrounding her legs as she flips foward and tries to drop-kick Kain, more or less, as she flips about and falls down, mostly for the count.

It really sucks for the Stray Dog, who is slowly starting to come to. Unfortunately, he is witnessing his little sister having a hard time in the fight now. Growling under his breath, the Stray Dog is staggering to get back to his feet, "Damnit..." He coughs up, glaring at Kain. ...It looks like the Stray Dog is still up, Mr. Heinlein. Even if he is not able to exactly fight.

Kain sees Mimiru flying in, and he turns to meet her kick with his shoulder, letting her bounce off with little harm down. He waits a moment until it becomes clear that she's not getting up. And Jiro has already been marked as out of the fight. "And the winner, Kain Heinlein!"
And the moment the announcer speaks, Kain turns on his heels and begins walking out of the arena. He doesn't even bother to look at Jiro as he leaves.

Growling, the Stray Dog extends his right hand out, as if ready to draw upon the purple flames to burn Kain right on the back, but he shakes his head, feeling exhausted already. "****er." So instead, Jiro turns away from Kain to approacj Mimiru, aiming to heft her over his shoulder and take her home.
