Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

"Thank you, I will.", he says, actually being earnest about it in his own way. He is not the bragging type, not at all, but to have earned the favor of a god, someone on par with Mata Nui himself, is definitely something he should inform the others of.

"SO, DO YOU HAVE ANY ENEMIES WHO DESERVE DEATH ?!"

"The beings from my world who I once considered my enemies are that no longer. Due to the situation of our dying world, we have put aside our difference to help each other survive. We're in the process of moving all survivors to a different world. Once we have settled there, our alliance will most likely end. But until then, they are not our enemies."

He then slightly tilts his head.

"The people I have allied myself with have dangerous enemies in this world though. Mysterious and insane, from what I've seen of them, they aren't just powerful, but have the ability to stop people from being revived."

He pauses when hearing his own words, then ponders about something.

"COULD ONE OF THOSE FIENDS BE BEHIND THE RECENT FAILURE ? THEN I'LL KILL THEM FOR DARING TO ATTEMPT TO OPPOSE MY POWER !"

"I was considering the same thing, but... no, that's not possible. Mata Nui died because the being named Vezon took the only thing that could save him, then fled our world. This happened several years ago as well, while these enemies here have only appeared little over a year ago. Vezon was part of a whole different group of people than them, a group that didn't have this revival-stopping powers. Our current enemies couldn't have been the cause."

"AND HERE I HAD FOUND A BRAND NEW SERIES OF CREATIVE TORTURES." laments ZEUS.

"I'm certain that my allies would still appreciate you using your mighty powers to help us stop our enemies, regardless of them not being guilty this one time.", Botar says.

"VERY WELL. I WILL STEP IN AND HELP WHENEVER I DARE TO HONOR THIS WORLD WITH MY CHARISMATIC PRESENCE !"

He respectfully bows his head again.

"Thank you."

He then tilts his head.

"What will you do now that your pursuer has given up for now?"

"I'LL GET BACK HOME AND I WILL STEALTHILY TAKE AN ANIMAL FORM WHILE SHE RAMPAGES, OF COURSE !"

Botar appears somewhat amused at how certain ZEUS is about what course of action to take, though not in an insulting manner.

"Then I suppose you won't need me anymore for the time being?", Botar asks. "I should return to my allies soon. They rely on me to safely travel between certain places without our enemies being able to intercept us."

"VERY WELL ! CARRY THEM THROUGH VICTORY !" he says. "AND THINK OF ME AND THIS GLORIOUS ENCOUNTER AS YOU WADE THROUGH THE WALLS OF THE UNIVERSE !"

Sarah and Sandra are at a café. Sarah has a simple cup of coffee but Sandra managed to find herself an enormous milk-shake, amusingly enough according to Sarah's smile.

"Who was that mom ?"

"By all accounts, Hera. She's the goddess of women, marriage, family and childbirth so that's why she briefly stopped her rampage around us. Her husband, Zeus, is far from loyal so that's why she was angry. Greek myths are fascinating but really... hm, hardcore though. I'll give you books."

"Wow, so there are gods beside Thor ?"

"They're not as friendly as Thor. If you see a Greek god, you should either leave or be very careful with what you say. They're prideful and wrathful after all. Athena, the goddess of war and strategy, is pretty trustworthy though. Also, you should be careful around the red hair Thor... hm.... I think the Egyptian ones are fine. I don't remember interacting with those. You should run if one has an odd animal head though."

"Why ?"

"He's Set, the god of evil. Like the other Egyptian gods, he has an animal's head but his is either extinct or fictional."

"I see... hm... its pretty weird though. Would you be there to protect me if a god or goddess attacks ?"

"Always." replies Sarah. "I'll always step in to defend you, even if I'm up against one of the more powerful gods."

"What about the weaker ones ?"

Sarah smiles. "I could probably beat them. When you'll reach my power, so will you !"

"Awesome !" says Sandra, pumping her fist up. Sarah smiles and drinks, not catching Loki's smiling, snarling reflection on the surface of the liquid, though he's gone when she finish.

"Should we resume training ?"

"Yeah, I want to get in Zeus's face and kick him around !"

"Why ?"

"No ones like cheating husbands !"

Sarah chuckles.

"I sincerely doubt I will ever forget you.", Botar says, both because of the favor and because he finds ZEUS to be... eccentric, to say the least. He nods.

"Farewell, lord Zeus."

He teleports away.

"FAREWELL, FAVORITE SERVANT BOTAR !" he says.

He then teleports as well.

Primordia

Vulpecula looks a bit disturbed by the fact that most of the Stand Users Puroto has fought were animals. She ponders for a moment, then sighs.

"Have you and your organization been gathering the shards of the Arrow?" she asks.

”Honestly, no. We’re too busy fighting off ‘Standimals’ and tracking down the vampiric mastermind.”

”Honestly, if we DID find them we’d probably try to destroy them.”

"Why not just divide and conquer then? There can't be too many arrow fragments, after all, right?" Vulpecula asks. When he mentions destroying the arrow, she nods slightly in agreement.

"Sometimes, the person I know who has an arrow ponders about destroying it but doesn't go through with the act."

“Even ignoring my personal distaste, keeping those artifacts around may be a mite more trouble than it is worth.”

”And... if I am being honest, we HAVE found a few fragments. But they are ‘’incredibly’’ small, like those microplastics I read about in a scientific journal.”

”Honestly, though, enough about ME. What’s YOUR story?”

"My story? It's nothing much, really. I work as a freelance astronomer for various groups, compiling data and all that. A few months back, I was visiting the person with the arrow and I accidentally, uh... Well, I tripped. Case in point, I have a Stand now, and I now occasionally work with various paranormal interest groups."

She rubs her forehead a bit, pointing out a decently sized scar in the hairline. "There is where I got pierced. Dunno how I lived from it, though."

He looks a little dumbstruck.

”That’s... pretty anticlimatic.”

”So... ‘’none’’ of these groups are aware of the hellhole Australia has become?”

"Yeah... I told you it was nothing much. I do suppose my Stand makes doing some things easier, like cleaning or self-defense. As for the groups I've worked with, if they know, they haven't told me about it." she replies.

”I see... and have they bothered to tell you about the Pillar Men? I mean, they are pretty much extinct, but they were quite important for quite a while.”

"As I said earlier, I have no idea what the Pillar Men are. Could you tell me?" She asks in an inquisitive manner. Man, these groups just don't inform her about anything.

He sighs.

”By Jove, these people really tell you absolutely nothing, do they. You should come down under some day, we probably have better archives than they ever will.”

”The Pillars were essentially the ultimate people. Truly weak only to sunlight and Hamin energy, they could contort their body at will, suck the life force right out of prey, and had intellects higher than the average human. Though the only ones sighted in recent history had already been upgraded by the Stone Masks, by scaling we could say an average Pillar would be as powerful as a full fledged human vampire. Standless, mind you.”

"As much as it would be interesting to visit Australia, I'll have to decline that offer. I don't want to be murdered by an animal with a Stand." she says.

As he describes the Pillar Men, she tries to imagine what they were like. "So they're basically super vampires?"
