Cacao regained her senses as Shiro took off after Mister Popo, blood dripping from her nose. Seeing the genie evade her associate again, the hybrid noticed him reappear quite a distance away from the human. Of course, she immediately went on the offensive.
Kicking off the ground, she launched herself at Popo, only for the genie to evade a jab to the face. But she didn't stop there, quickly spinning and preparing herself to leap after her target once more...only to run right into Mister Popo's fist. Then it disappeared and he flicked her in the back, sending her to meet the tree once more.
But she wasn't stupid enough to let herself taste bark again, catching herself feet first on the tree, her glow fading for the moment.

Ace got up from the ground, an uncharacteristically angry expession on his face as he charged forward at Mister Popo. He neglected to even lift off from the ground, just sprinting forward with all the speed he could muster. As he neared Popo, he started swinging wildly, raining out punches. But Mister Popo moved so quickly, he seemed to be in three different places at once. The genie wasn't after imaging, he was just too damn fast!
And then Ace overbalanced on a punch, stumbling forward, and Mister Popo took his legs out from under him and then used him for a golf ball, sending him flying.

Shiro quickly turned to find the genie, his arm swinging around to fire a volley of ki blasts in a wide arc. Not one of them hit, the closest ones seeming to simply pass through the genie as it after imaged AGAIN. How can he move so fast so easily? Shiro wondered even as his topic appeared in front of him. Mr. Popo reached forward, resting his palm lightly on Shiro's face, and fired a powerful but silent beam of ki. The young teen was sent flying back, and skid to a stop several yards away.

Cacao flung herself off the tree once more, tearing across the tiled flooring of the Lookout as she closed in on her target. But as soon as she drew close, Popo disappeared once more.
/Where the...?!/ She froze as she realized something, turning around in time to see Mr. Popo grab a hold of her arm and immediately begin spinning at insane speeds, causing the two to blur in a mix of black, red, white, and dark blue. And then he'd let go, sending the young hybrid on a direct flight...towards Shiro.

Ace watched as Mister Popo grabbed Cacao and spun at ridiculous speeds. He got dizzy just watching it, actually. He stumbled half a step, then shook his head. I've got an idea... He slowly hovered upwards with that thought, stopping at the height of the palm trees, his hands glowing with ki as he did. This worked the first time...

Shiro sat up, groaning, only to have something crash into his chest, sending him sliding back several more feet, his head slamming back into the ground. He groaned again, and looked down to see Cacao. "You alright?" He'd ask, waiting for her to get up.

Cacao's face had gained a rather nice green hue, obviously not too high speed spin tolerant. But she just struggled to get up, her legs nearly buckling a few times before she found herself back on her feet. Holding back the urge to throw up, the hybrid once again ran towards Popo without a word.
He spared her the trip by appearing in front of her, grabbing onto her head and immediately lobbing her over his shoulder at Ace.

Ace drew back his hands to start firing ki blasts at Mister Popo when he vanished. "Aw, come on..." he groaned, turning to his new location in time to see him lob Cacao at him. "Oh crap..." And Ccao collided directly with his torso, the ki in his hands dieing as a result. His first reflex was to hold his gut in pain, but his arms ended up closing around Cacao as he did so. Well...this is...awkward... He realized this and quickly descended to the ground of the Lookout and released her.
"Sorry about that..." he mumbled. Then, "Jeeze...Popo should play sports..."

Shiro stood and follow after Cacao. As Popo tossed her away, Shiro flared his ki and sent a punch towards Mr. Popo's deceptively large stomach. The genie simply grabbed said punch and tossed Shiro at the other two.

Cacao broke away from Ace, noticing Shiro flying towards them. The hybrid simply smirked as an idea popped into her head, grabbing Shiro by the arm and turning full circle before launching the human at Mister Popo. Of course, she didn't just stop there, immediately taking off after the human projectile to catch the genie off guard.

Ace scratched the back of his head. "Hmm... We attack Mister Popo...he evades and counter attacks... Repeat unto infinitum..." he mumbled. "Hmm... That gives me an idea..." He grinned slightly, gathering ki into one hand, and placing two fingers from the other to his forehead. LEt's see if this works...

"Not again..." Shiro found himself thrown right back where he had gone and immediately activated Final Impact, just as he had against Ares. He drew his fist back to punch, but again passed through an after image. "THAT'S REALLY GETTING OLD!" He yelled, twisting around so he landed feet first against the building's wall.

Skidding to a halt, Cacao swore under her breath, looking around to try and find the genie after he disappeared once more. Of course, once again, he was right behind her...hand held up to pat her on the back of the head. The pat had far more force behind it than one would think, sending the young hybrid flying towards and past Shiro...and then over the edge.

Ace watched as Cacao was sent over the edge. Over the edge...great, Mister Popo....just great. We can fly, you kno... His mental sentence trailed off there. He hadn't actually seen Cacao fly. And the first thought in his mind? "...Shit..." And he immediately took off over the edge himself. Assuming Cacao didn't suddenly learn how to fly herself, Ace would catch her...rather awkwardly, as he wasn't exactly used to catching people.
"Come on, Mister Popo...seriously?" Whether or not he caught her, that would escape from him in exasperation as he headed back up toward the Lookout.

"Cacao!" Like Ace, Shiro didn't know if Cacao could fly or not, and was a little worried. But when he saw the Kai jump over, he relaxed somewhat, and returned his attention to Popo. He leapt off the wall, landing in a crouch at Mr. Popo's feet, and immediately sprung into an upper cut, followed by a Wolf Wind Attack. Popo easily deflected or dodged each attack, before spearing Shiro again, with his staff, sending him crashing back into the wall.

Ace didn't have very far to go over the edge, Cacao holding onto the edge of the lookout like a frightened animal. Eyes wide, body tembling a bit, a whimper or two here and there, she managed to pull herself back onto the tiled flooring. And after a few seconds of shaking and crying a little, she got back on her feet...and immediately took off in a wild dash towards Mister Popo.
"YOU FAT FUCK!" She roared at the top of her lungs, the fear replaced disturbingly quickly with a shitload of anger...

Ace blinked once, then chuckled. "Hehe...that could have been a lot worse..." he said, mostly to himself. But he shot straight forward at Mister Popo, immediately after saying this, right behind Cacao. Alright, mister 'shove people off the edge', let's see how you like getting double-teamed... You are gonna take some ki blasts to the face!

Shiro leapt out of the hole he put in the wall, joining the other two in their assault. Alright, let's see if the three of us together can take you, tubby! He brought his left arm up to his ear and swung it forward, releasing a hail of ki blasts, before bringing his right arm up for a punch.
I just hope this doesn't turn into another Heater situation.

Cacao leapt at Mister Popo as she closed the distance between them, ignoring Shiro and Ace for the time being. Balling her hand into a fist, she punched right towards where the genie's head had been, only to go through a fading image of the rotund man and strike the floor. It left a nice dent in the tile...before the effects of the Megaton Punch kicked in and shattered it completely, lodging the pieces in place.
"GET BACK HERE!" She pulled her fist out of the ground and quickly looked around, almost seeming like she wanted to kill Popo...but that wasn't gonna happen.

Ace immediately changed course, coming to a dead halt and going straight up, well out of reach of Popo, unless he decided to throw Shiro or Cacao at him. Once there, he came to a halt, gathering ki into his hands and searching the Lookout. "Come on, you fat man...where are you..."

"Where did he go this time?" Shiro looked around, checking his back several times to make sure the genie didn't sneak up on him. He saw nothing, and so took this time to gather his power.

Cacao uttered another obscenity under her breath, fists practically aching to pound the living daylights out of the pudgy bastard. Stomping her foot into and threw a section of tile, she really seemed pissed off beyond belief at the genie. But if only she knew just how bad things were going to get, the fourteen year old punching the air just in case Mister Popo was hiding somewhere near her.

Ace scanned the Lookout several more times, then let out a frustrated sigh.
"Looking for something?"
Ace turned around in time to see Mister Popo on his magic carpet, before a swift strike from his staff sent Ace flying straight down and into the tile of the Lookout, cracking it under him, and leaving him dazed. A few seconds later, when the rotund genie landed on his midsection, he had any breath he might've had left knocked out of him.

There! Shiro shot forward the moment he found Mr. Popo, his body flickering as if he'd used after image. But it was a feint, one that apparently didn't work as when Shiro tried to punch him, Popo just jumped up a few inches over the punch, then slammed back down, landing on Shiro's back and sending Shiro down into Ace.

Cacao was right behind Shiro, immediately going for a wild barrage of palm strikes towards the genie. Of course, Popo dodged them with a simplistic ease before grabbing onto the hybrid's leg as she went for the finishing kick and dragged her up and over his head to slam her back into Shiro into Ace. This only managed to add fuel to the fire, of course...

"GAH!!" That was the sound, more or less, ace made when Shiro was stomped into him by Popo. "Well...hello, Shiro..." he mumbled. And then when Cacao was slammed into them... Nothing. He tried to scream something, but no sound came out. Okay...this is seriously getting old...and painful...

Shiro grimaced. "Hey there, A-Argh!" When Cacao was added to the heap, Shiro snarled. "I don't think we're getting anywhere..." he muttered, again waiting for Cacao to get off of him.

Getting to her feet rather quickly, Cacao glared at the genie. Mister Popo just watched the fourteen year old, seemingly not thinking about anything...or feeling anything. Quite the opposite of his 'opponent', who reached backwards to grab onto Shiro's leg before doing a quick spin and chucking the human towards the portly man if she had managed to get a hold of the limb..

Ace got to one knee, coughing slightly. After having the wind knocked out of him three times in rapid succession, he wasn't exactly in the best condition to do much else. Okay...breathe...breathe... Physically, he was trying to get to his feet. But mentally, he was trying to discover just HOW Mister Popo could be so damn skilled, strong, and fast.
It just made no sense...

What is it about me that just screams "Hello, I'm a walking projectile, please THROW ME AT YOUR OPPONENT"!? Shiro mentally complained. As he flew, he brought his arms up in an X over his head and forced himself to fly faster. However, instead of passing through an after image like he expected, Shiro felt the genie's staff slam down on his head, sending the young human crashing into the ground again.
