Blackmask had just found a particularly pleasant-looking vase, probably quite worth converting, when Syvex made his debut. The pirate thrashed and shouted in vain attempts to throw the lizard of shadow off, but to no avail, and his claws dug deep into Blackmask's back. After a few mostly-futile attempts to punch him, the ringing in both of their ears became more pronounced and they dropped to the floor.
Both contestants winced in pain, invisible tears coming to Blackmask's eyes as the sensation increased. Realizing Syvex was equally incapacitated, and wishing to take the opportunity as it came, the pirate muscled up the willpower to flick the switch on the jetpack. Gouts of flame enveloped the lizard, their light reflected off the various precious metals surrounding them, and Syvex proceeded to shriek in a manner that only enhanced the pain Blackmask was in.
Eventually, the pincushion's hex grinded to a halt, at which point the withered body of Syvex cast itself back into the shadows. Blackmask, after the shadowy beast had vacated the premises, wiped the mask's insides free of vomit with a handkerchief, then replaced it, shut off the jetpack, and let out a cackle of victory. "Godspeed, and let that be a lesson to you, y'coal-sucking reptile piece of trash! Mess with Ripper Blackmask, and you'll be getting the very flames of hell tenfold!" Satisfied with this boast, the pirate proceeded to shatter the vase and feed the scraps into the Endorphic Core, muscles imperceptibly swelling-- a drop in the bucket, to be sure, but Blackmask knew well that drops add up.
