Shiva snapped when she heard Adrian's words. Normally she could get the flashbacks under control, but in a battle situation she had no rein over her emotions whatsoever. Every memory of her parents, her mother's abuse and her father's "playtime" that had continued until she killed them both just after her eighth birthday, came flooding back all at once. She screamed - a sound that was more animal than human - and covered her eyes out of instinct. All of the spikes glanced harmlessly off her skin and nails, and when the last of the strikes stopped she uncovered her eyes and, for the first time since she mutated four years ago completely lost her control.
Shiva started screaming again, this time a high and rage-fueled keening that sounded almost like a whistle with its pitch and tone. Abandoning the acrobatics she normally favored, Shiva charged directly at the creature that was - to her eyes - her father returned from Hell to visit his own special brand of devilry on her one last time. She would kill him again, then, and make sure that he never returned. "Du er en djevel fra den dypeste avgrunn helvete, og jeg skal drepe deg!"
Smith sat down behind Sikes, late for the match and worried at the first thing he saw. Orion was obviously Shiva right now, and had rather stupidly provoked her opponent. Now it was apparent that they were both out for blood. Adrian to drink it, from what he'd said right when Smith walked in, and Shiva to spill as much of Adrian's as possible. "You doped him, didn't you, Sikes. And now Orion's reverted to Shiva and she's speaking in Norwegian. Stop the fight, please, or one or the other will die."

Shiva felt, somewhere at the back of her mind, the feeling of the same blood spikes she had deflected once again glancing off her skin. The last bits of her shirt fell away as she charged the devil, not caring that her body would be fully visible or that everyone would know the secret she had carefully hidden away. All she saw was the devil coming towards her, ready to abuse her as he had so many years in the past. She would not allow that again. She would die first.
As they approached proximity, Shiva stopped on a dime and splayed her hands in front of her. Her nails extended almost instantly to their full five feet, and the devil was close enough that dodging was not an option. His own momentum would all but surely carry him onto her nails. They formed a briar-tangle before her that would pierce his vitals instantly. "Dø!"
Smith leaned back and sighed. "Sad. I wanted to kill Orion myself. Mostly as a matter of professional courtesy. He is the only person I feel able to hold back against, and he extends the courtesy."
((Yes, I deliberately referred to Orion as a male here. Orion is physically male, but identifies as female because of the environment in which s/he was raised. His parents were abusive, the mother physically and the father sexually. He thus came to associate violence with 'traditional' feminine traits. When he killed his parents at the age of nine he came to believe that he would not have been capable of such violence were he a male, and thus began calling himself 'Shiva.'
Also, I think this is probably as good as we're going to get for the fighting. what say Adrian skewers himself, but the nails miss his vitals, and he gets in a fatal strike on Shiva's eyes at the same time. That way, she dies and Adrian gets out alive, though injured.))
