Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

"This is... less convenient."

He attempts to knock on the ground in front of him, if there is any ground at all.

Greyface looks surprised.

"Oh, you have a name? Odd, none of Giegue's robots have a name. At least not from my world."

He then ponders.

"Haven't heard about me? Have you heard about the Greyface? Giegue's arms-for-hire?"

He'll find that there is. So he can at least walk forward at the moment. There also appears to be a very faint sound eminating in the area. It sounds like some sort of machine.

The attacker quickly dodges the blue beam, landing right behind Zelerie. If she turns, she'll find that it's Courne◊.

"Hey there. Figured I should greet you the best way you know how.", he says, grinning in a cocky manner, after which he holds out his hand and fires a ki blast at Zelerie.

"At least you act like a Saiyan, even if you're a pussy unworthy of our name !"

She fire a point blank beam to couter his, before using her senses to jump through the smoke, attempting to bury her fist unto his nose.

"Well... it's a long story."

"Haven't heard of any 'Gray-Face' either."

Asura ignores the faint noise and walks forward for a couple of steps before knocking again.

"This is gonna take a while."

Stormwind City

Thor and Loki are currently going for a walk near Pseudo's base when they spot Greyface chatting with Calvin.

"Oh, not that little bastard... Thor, if you even think about giving me a 'give him a chance given the current circumstances' speech..."

"No, no, I'm actually in total agreement with you on this one, Loki. Greyface is just... the worst."

"My thoughts exactly. Mark my words, if I'm present when he inevitably returns to being a psychotic brat with delusions of grandeur, I will rectify Ness' mistake."

"I doubt anyone would complain if you did just that. But come, let's pay our friends in Pseudo's organization a visit instead of dwelling on this... unpleasant subject."

The two behind making their way towards the entrance to Pseudo's base, with Loki in particular doing his best to avoid eye contact with Greyface along the way.

"Ah... um..."

Greyface isn't sure whether or not to ask after that story. After some pondering, he decides not to push on it, since Calvin did say it's a long one, and people usually say that when they don't feel like talking about it. He then glances around awkwardly.

"So then... both of us were minions of Giegue then, huh?", he asks, very clearly having no idea how to hold this kind of conversation.

Thor and Loki will find that the doors are closed, but considering that Greyface is outside, someone is most likely watching the cameras to keep an eye on him, so the doors will probably open soon when they notice Loki and Thor.

Greyface himself notices Loki and Thor passing by though, and gulps nervously, quickly moving closer to Calvin as he isn't on his floating platform at the moment, so he's pretty much defenseless. He drops one of his papers as he does so, and quickly scurries back to pick it up.

If either God spares the paper a glance, they'll find that it looks an awful lot like blueprints...

The same result as before, only the sound is slightly more audible. If Asura tries to do this a third time though, he'll have to quickly balance himself, as he'll find that he's arrived on an edge of whatever he's standing on, and will fall off if he fails to stop himself from walking too far.

Courne blocks Zelerie's punch by holding his arms in front of his face, and is able to stand his ground.

"Allow me to change your mind on that, barbarian.", he says as he spreads his arms and unleashes a Kiai in an attempt to push Zelerie back. If that works, he'll then rush towards her to try to kick her in her stomach.

She gets pushed back but blocks. When he goes on the offensive, she lets herself get tagged in the stomach, her eyes going white and splitting blood as she raises her arm to try to deck him in the torso with similar strength.

"You know what?" He shouts to no one in particular.

He punches the ground with the force to shake it violently.

"I'M TIRED OF THIS ALREADY!"

"Uh... yeah... yeah." Apparently, neither does Calvin.

Loki glances briefly at the blueprint Greyface had dropped and picked up, then looks back to Thor.

"Apparently, Greyface has been drawing up plans for something. Knowing that swine, they're either for a new weapon or another giant war machine like the one those alternate Maximoffs had a part in destroying."

"Hmm... it would seem that he's managed to retain at least some of his usual despicable self following the accident."

"On one hand, I'd rather not have to spend any time in his presence. However, if my suspicions are true, I suppose I'll, as they say on Midgard, 'take one of the team'. Go on ahead, I'll catch up."

After the two exchange nods, Loki walks over Greyface and Calvin, greeting the latter with a wave before turning to the latter.

"Believe me, I'm about as comfortable with this as you likely are. However, I couldn't help noticing that blueprint of yours..."

Thor, on the other hand, walks over to the door to Pseudo's base, waiting for it to open.

"Hmm."

Calvin does not respond.

Greyface makes sure to stay close to Calvin when Loki starts to approach him, looking nervous. Loki might find it an amusing sight considering the usual expression he gets from any Porky is a smug one.

"Um... well... it's kind of a secret...", he mutters. He glances down at it, then ponders a little. Psycho!Ness isn't around, he's gone over to Mystia's place. Claus isn't around, he's out watching Lucas. Ninten isn't around, he's gone home to his family to reveal the good news of getting his voice back. Which makes him remember again that Ninten started hugging everyone in joy the day before. Even Greyface himself. Which he still doesn't get, since he was the reason it was gone in the first place, and there's no way Ninten'd really forgive him just like that, right? Pseudo Porky... would Pseudo Porky even come to his aid? He isn't a part of the organization after all...

He glances down at the blueprints again, sighs, then opens them. It appears to be half-drawn plans for a robot of some kind.

... No, wait, based on the human stick figure he's drawn inside, it'd be a robot suit.

"I, eh... was thinking about creating a protective robot suit... you know... since I'm kind of weak and all..."

He lowers his head as he says that, not comfortable with admitting that he's weak. But Loki might find it surpriging that he did actually admit it just like that.

"I haven't really thought out all the details yet...", he adds.

The ground resonates with the sound of metal being hit. After that, nothing happens for a while...

Until suddenly someone tries to kick him off from behind.

Courne gets hit and pretty much has the same reaction Zelerie just had. He steps back after the punch, then, after quickly recovering, tries to punch her in the face.

However, this is a trick, as he sneakily envelops his fist in a ki aura, and if his fist makes contact with Zelerie, it'll release a ki blast regardless of whether she blocks or not.

She ducks and try to grab his arm before attempting to throw him into a rock, promptly leaping to try to smash into his stomach with both feet if she succeed.

Asura hears the incoming kick and turns quickly to grab the incoming foot.

"Do you want to explain what's going on here or am I going to have to get angry?"

Luke the Shiny, cute, fluffy gamer Mew has been gone for so long, they are seriously out of the loop. When they were LAST here, Porky and Sombra had got done "talking" with each other, and it seemed like an epic boss fight for the future would take place against Sombra.

HOW MUCH did he miss out on during his fun, interesting and at times relaxing time in another dimension!? He was so busy, and just didn't feel like joining this pocket dimension anytime soon. He just sits there, on his floating psychic bubble, with the creeping feeling he is extremely out of the loop.

@Luke The Lucario: You can enter, but do NOT attack Porky.. Also, would you join the Discord? It would make things a lot easier.

@Luke: Greyface and Porky aren't the same character. The Porky Luke heard was basically Future!Greyface. Just so you know.

Loki can't help smirk in amusement at Greyface's uncharacteristically nervous expression.

"Mmmhmm... and I'm assuming that you intend to run roughshod across the Arena with it once it's complete?"

He does blink in surprise when Greyface actually admits to being weak, but he quickly regains his composure before looking at Calvin.

"No one's forbidding you from partaking in this conversation, you know."

Seeing as the base's doors still weren't opening, Thor decides to knock on them.

Someone else is currently near wherever Asura and the other person are, having overheard the former's earlier raging.

"Yeah, yeah, sure..." Calvin says to Loki.

Greyface shakes his head.

"N-no, I... it's not equipped with explosives or anything..."

He glances down at the ground.

"... I can't really blame you for thinking that it is though. And honestly, knowing me, if I ever go back to being myself, I'll probably be turning this into a weapon somehow. ... But right now, I don't want this to be a weapon, I want this to be a shield."

He looks up at Loki.

"... hey... I'm just wondering... if I managed to stay the way I am now forever, do you think we could..."

Beat

"Ah... no, never mind. That's a stupid question. Ness is my only real friend. Everyone else is putting up for me for his sake. I shouldn't complain though... that's better than it was at home."

The doors, meanwhile, start to open in response to Thor knocking on them.

The foot is caught, and it belongs to Dark Megaman EXE◊, who's grinning as he aims his Mega Buster at Asura.

   "Oh, I would, but what'd be the fun in explaining? How about you make me?"   , he says as he starts firing energy blasts right in his face.

His arm is successfully grabbed, and Courne is thrown towards a rock. However, he rebalances mid-hurl, landing against the rock with his feet, then flies up just in time so that Zelerie will likely smash into the rock instead.

Regardless, he'll then unleash a powerful ki blast down at Zelerie.

Asura attempts to flips Megaman over and throws him into the ground while ducking under the blasts.

"Ha. That's funny. Now how about you tell me everything about you and who you may work for."

She smash through the rock and is hit by the blast, promptly riposting with a beam of her own. However, it only explode into harmless light, Zelerie appearing above and trying to dig her heel unto Courne's skull to hurl him into the ground and carving a deep crater

"Were... you actually about to ask me...?"

Congratulations, Greyface, Loki's now at a complete loss for words.

"Just when I thought this situation was incapable of getting any stranger..."

He takes a deep breath, then turns to Calvin.

"You know, I don't believe we've met before. Call me Loki."

Thor waits for the doors to finish opening. Once they do so, he'll proceed to enter the base, close the doors behind him, and head for the dining area.

"Hmm... It's been a while since Kumatora and I last met. Hopefully, she's not too preoccupied with anything at the moment."

The newcomer, Nyriss, quickly brings her wrist-mounted laser cannon to bare before firing on Dark Mega Man.

"Long story short, big guy, that psycho's part of this group called the Assassins, and they're kinda bad news."

"Hmm?" Calvin mutters, as Grayface mentions his friends.

He then turns to Loki.

"Alright. Name's Calvin Riker."
