The Punisher seemed to be able to keep up with Mystique and Toad for a while longer, so Logan decided it could be a good idea to keep buying some time for him while keeping Creed's attention elsewhere.
-Coward?! You're the gutless wimp who waits until I'm wounded and out of breath before coming out to fight... Guess that makes you king of cowards!
Wolverine turned to face him, trying to block all attacks he could, even if he had trouble breathing, still trying to make him focus on him rather than on Frank. He would wait a while longer, and as soon as he felt a bit better, he would try his luck at putting the hurt on his opponent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start: Health:4/5 Energy:6/15
4 stones into Close combat (Weapon X Training)+3 from Claws, all shifted to Defense, plus 1 from Reflexive Dodge (Total Defense: 8), parrying Sabertooth's attacks with his claws.

"Sure."
Frank whipped the rifle off his back and pointed it towards Mystique, unloading a volley of rifle fire her way as he slowly moved towards the downed man, confident that he'd think twice before attempting to remove this gun from his grasp. After all, Frank did still have a knife, and Toad didn't need all that tongue. As he stood over Toad, he continued firing on Mystique, shouting furiously down at Toad.
"You know who I am. You know what I do."
His foot fell on the mutant's throat as he pushed down, just allowing him enough air to speak.
"And you know where you stand. So don't waste my time making me ask questions. You tell me everything you know, starting now, and I let you go." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Health: 3/3 Energy: 3/9
1st; 2 stones into ranged combat to continue firing on Mystique. With my secondary weapon's +3 that's 5 stones into the attack.
2nd: Spending 1 stone on strength to push down on Toad's throat with my foot, trying to get him to talk.

“GET BACK HERE RUNT!” Sabretooth roared, pursuing Wolverine even as he took another step backward and put his lethal weaponry in between himself and the feral monster. A burst of speed put on by his foe again nearly saw Wolverine on the receiving end of a vicious adamantium laced lash, but by keeping a level head and being expertly aware of where Sabretooth’s claws were at all times, Logan again staves off his foe for at least a little longer. Mystique cries out in shock and pain as bullets pepper her upper body, then collapses to the ground like a rag doll, much to the delight of the mostly drunken onlookers. Whether she’s down for good isn’t clear, but the odds of her taking another shot at Frank are infinitesimally low, as she had left herself completely vulnerable in thinking that Castle was unarmed. (That was actually 7 stones with your 2 targeting, so I went ahead and added them for you. Hope you don’t mind ) Frank has much less success with Toad, however, who merely spits on the sand at the Punisher’s attempt at interrogation. “Koechne’d do far worse than ya’ ever could ya’ misguided do goodin’ sap! And if ya’ stop ta’ torture me…” At this point Toad chuckles, his wind pipe pulsating against Frank’s sole, “The guy after me’ll be showin’ up. I’d like ta’ see ya’ use yer precious bullets on the freakin’ Hulk!”

Sweat was covering Wolverine's forehead as he evaded each of Creed's attacks. Sabertooth was fast and as deadly as ever.
Logan overheard the conversation between Castle and Toad and a hint of fright appeared in his eyes. "What?!", he thought, "the Hulk here? Working for them?!! This is gonna hurt if I don't finish off Sabertooth as soon as possible... and it's gonna hurt anyway even if I did! Better switch to offensive tactics."
He knew that to hit his opponent, he would have to expose himself to harm. He just hoped that Sabertooth tried too hard to hurt him earlier and had been exhausting his energy at least a bit. If this was the case, he may have the chance of bringing the pain to him without suffering too much in return... If not, he hoped Castle could hold his own against Victor Creed, because he was next on the list of the berserker.
-All right then... how about some of your own medecine? Take... that!
Logan feinted a kick, but plunged his claws towards Creed's right flank, hoping to tear apart an internal organ or two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start Health: 4/5 Energy: 8/15
8 stones into Close Combat, plus 3 from Adamantium Claws, 3 shifted to defense (for a defense total of 4 with Reflexive Dodge and an attack of 8 against Creed.)
Still using Animal Senses of 7, both to keep hearing any words said between Castle and Toad, and to locate the Hulk were he to enter the battlefield.

Frank didn't flinch, simply looked around the coliseum.
"-the guy after me’ll be showin’ up. I’d like ta’ see ya’ use yer precious bullets on the freakin’ Hulk!"
"You won't."
And with that, Frank slammed his boot down over the throat of Toad, crushing everything beneath as Frank looked around towards the crowd and the walls. If Hulk got in, it'd be a good way to get out, but surviving a full on attack from the Hulk would be difficult. Wouldn't be the first time he fought him, but the best way to fight him was to focus his attacks on someone else... Took a stomach full of C4 to stop him last time. He didn't have that luxury now.
Time to get out.
With Sabretooth dead, they'd have a better chance at escape...With Sabretooth alive, though, they had a better chance to change the Hulk's target. Frank just needed to figure out what was the best way to force Hulk to attack Sabretooth... The answer was to make Sabretooth get the Hulk mad. But, he'd cross that bridge when he came to it. He was sure he had a plan to get both Hulk and Sabretooth out of here, but, not until he caught a breather. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Health: 3/3 Energy: 3/9
I'll go ahead and spend all three stones into strength to crush his neck under my boot with a firm stomp.

Wolverine’s feint didn’t accomplish much, as Sabretooth was far too familiar with Logan’s tactics to be fooled by such an obvious move, but the jab he took at Victor Creed’s side sliced through his flesh and deep into his flank nonetheless. Blood ran down Logan’s hand in torrents as he twisted the claws inside his foe, cutting through vital organs as sure as a surgeon’s knife, though with much less precision or benevolence. Sabretooth’s feral scream was part pain, part joy, as he knew that with one claw buried in his side, Wolverine had but one claw with which to defend. Creed capitalized, his short but no less penetrating claws gouging deep holes in Logan’s stomach, one of the only places where he knew he wouldn’t be met with impenetrable adamantium. (2w damage)
Frank’s stomp killed his opponent as surely as it would’ve a real toad, his boot causing windpipe to meet bone and bone to meet earth. A glance around the arena reminded him that his more powerful weapon was on the ground next to his earlier prey, and then he remembered the sound that had signaled the three mutants’ entrance…steel grating on steel. What could that have been? Surely the Hulk would enter the same way…

Wolverine clearly had trouble standing up, blood dripping from his open wound. He staggered a bit, but managed to remain on his feet, backing away slowly from his foe. He spat blood on the ground, one arm covering the wound to prevent too much blood loss. His previous wounds were gone, and the new one was already starting to heal, but he wasn't in very good shape.
-This ain't a good day...
The satisfying cracking sound of Toad's neck informed Logan there was one more enemy he'd never need to worry about again, thanks to the Punisher. If only the same could be done to Sabertooth... Wolverine got back to fighting defensively, because he would need to be able to get out of the way as soon as Hulk got in. As he was thinking, "I don't need to be faster than the big green muscle mountain, I only need to be faster than Sabertooth..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start Health:3/5 Energy:3/15

Frank could only wince, staring back towards the door. He didn't have the stamina right now to move far, so he began walking calmly, attempting to walk past Sabretooth and Wolverine, far enough away where he wouldn't be completely decimated by Sabretooth. He's save his energy. Hell, if anything went bad, just run faster than Sabretooth. In the end, Hulk was a good guy, maybe he could be reasoned with. Frank couldn't just kill him, because Hulk was one of the good guys in the end. For now, he'd catch his breath, keeping his eyes open for exits as he reached to his much more powerful rifle and shouldered the other back to his back.
"If that's the Hulk behind that door, we don't stand a chance without a distraction. Throw Sabretooth at him." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Health: 3/3 Energy: 3/9

The agents weren’t doing well, certainly not by their standards. Logan was on the defensive way too often, and though Frank’s body count was steadily rising, he didn’t seem to be making much progress overall. The villains just kept coming out of the woodwork, like the heads of the mythical Hydra regrowing to replace their severed brethren.
Logan and Creed continued their violent dance that was their average battle, each of them breathing heavily and favoring one side. They circled one another ominously, but that was all. It appeared that both of them had decided catching a quick breather and staying safe was a better idea than attempting to rust the other’s claws with their blood…
Frank slowly made his way around the outside of the arena, giving the two feral fighters towards the center of the ring wide berth as he grew closer to his rifle. When he hefted it, checking to make sure it was still in perfect working order, he felt a little more prepared for the tasks ahead, but not much. Logan wasn’t holding up against his bitter rival, and if the Hulk came in at this moment, their only hope would be to get Sabretooth to fight him.

Apparently, Sabertooth was also a bit exhausted, which was a good thing. "Time to try something different." Wolverine hoped Creed would let his guard down long enough for him to try some dirty fighting to perhaps gain the upper hand. Without risk, you gained nothing. The battle wasn't going so well, and it needed to change if they were to have the slightest chance of survival. As he kept protecting himself with his claws, he kicked hard in the soil, trying to fill his foe's eyes with sand! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start Health: 3/5 Energy: 4/15
1 stone into Close Combat + 3 from Claws, all shifted to defense (plus 1 from Reflexive Dodge, total Defense of 5)
3 stones into Ranged Combat + (?) whatever bonus from sand gust, aiming for the big guy's eyes to blind him.

Frank saw his opportunity and knelt low, pointing his gun at the back of Sabretooth's legs as Frank pointed towards the opposite side of the stands. "We're going to climb our way out. Go straight through the crowd." As soon as Frank had let out a volley of gunfire, he made a move towards the outside as well, rushing to where he had pointed to get out of the stands. Didn't make a difference to him how this went down, just that all the bloodthirsty killers in the crowd and in the ring died. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Health: 3/3 Energy: 9/9
1st: Spending 3 stones into ranged combat firing at the backs of Sabretooth's legs to make him fall and make some noise. 3 +4 +2 =9 Stones of attack 2nd: Spending another 3 stones into agility to get to the edge of the ring and begin climbing my way into the stands.
