Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Raijin explains, "It's something relating to or originating from Japan. Japan is an island country... on Earth."

   "Oh, far from it. I'm going to tire you out, bit by bit, just as you've been trying to do to us. See how you like it."    Narktus stands there, wincing slightly but not letting his body flinch, then throws a punch that sends forth an invisible projectile similar to Hit's killing technique.

Gorr is hit by the spikes and recoils, but only darkness flows from his wounds. Over years of butchering, Gorr has essentially become one with his weapon, and the butterflies find no fertile environment to thrive in his body. In retaliation, he lunges at Loki, attempting to just straight-up decapitate him with a black blade surging out of his right hand.

"Yeah, don't get ahead of yourself, Cinke. I'm not sure you're his type."

Thor, having had just about enough of Myth!Loki's shit by now, rockets straight into the air before making a beeline straight towards Myth!Loki, taking Mjolnir in both hands, and attempting to bring it down hard on his head with a momentum-fueled downwards strike. All the while, he resists the Seithr spell as best he can.

"Where the Hel is the other Thor?! Either Baldur's managed to defeat him or he's enjoying that fight so much that we've all but slipped his bloody mind!"

Loki, also doing his best to resist the spell, conjures multiple illusions of himself that rush Myth!Loki from multiple angles. The real one, meanwhile, fires several blasts at him while he's hopefully distracted.

"Huh- wait, what?"

"I was going to ask what planet it was on, but… I've never heard of this 'japan'? There were only… four or five countries on my Earth before the Empire came in and started shooting the place up, and none of them just sort of had 'name-names'."

She sips her coffee, waking up more but still obviously exhausted.

Loki smirks and snaps his fingers, the Seithr start to break off but glows oddly, which means that both Thor and Loki are going to need to shake it off before it blows up !

Confident that it stopped their attacks dead on, he get struck in the head by Gorr and then hit in the chest by the punch, sending him flying through several trees and sending him crashing into a rock. He looks utterly befuddled at first but then snarls and stand up.

"Pffff hahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! YOU ?! CHIP YOUR WAY AGAINST ME ?! HILARIOUS !" he says. "IS THAT YOUR EXCUSE FOR NOT DEALING ANY WORTHWHILE DAMAGE ?! IS THIS HOW YOU JUSTIFY YOUR CHIMPING OUT ?" he says, before looking at the wound on his cheek.

It grows after he pass his hand over to it, and severe worms emerges out of it, dropping out of his bodies. The worm proceeds to enlarge into grotesque Gorr-faced atrocities !

"See, with more times, I would have made close copies of your family to fuck with you... but a bunch of limbless, monkey-faced fucks seems pretty CLOSE TO THE REAL DEAL IF YOU ASK ME !" he spouts out, his eyes turning black as the worms dash towards the quator, moaning as they attempt to slam into them. They are hideously fast and strong but explodes into sticky goo whenever they get struck, getting hit by it would be a bad idea since Loki proceeds to unleash a wave of ice at his foes.

However, the trees catch on fire when caught by the ice, and the same thing will happen to the group if they get hit by the attack, though it'll also freeze them somehow. Loki then pulls his whole hand into his wound and pulls out a bow.

He opens his jaw wide, pulls out his teeth and transforms it into a gnarly-looking arrow, preparing himself to take a shot.

"Steady, steady..."

"Clearly you haven't read the myths."

Raijin sighs. "Anyone want to order dessert?"

Narktus gets pushed back by the ice wave, but smirks under the mask.    "No, it's my excuse for holding back."   

He goes in at Speed Blitz momentum, but he suddenly punches the ground in front of Loki, trying to make it erupt underneath the trickster god and throw him off-balance.

"... Yes, actually. I haven't had custard pie in a long while."

She finishes up her hybrid roast and barely stops a belch.

"I have, actually, and somehow I don't think narcissism is gonna make him find you attractive."

Nicole looks to Raijin.

"Nah, I'm already full from that steak."

Once they've shaken off the Seithr, Thor unleashes a truly massive burst of lightning towards Myth!Loki, which punches through any oncoming ice blasts and presumably worms as well.

Taking careful aim with his scepter, Loki fires a blast at Myth!Loki's bow in an attempt to knock it out of his hand.

Gorr's black cloak turns into wings that flap, taking him off the ground while simultaneously bombarding both Myth!Loki and the worm abominations he created with a shower of black spikes unleashed from the cloak. This simultaneously moves him over the frostfire wave. The attack will hit Thor and Loki if they happen to end up in its way, but curiously, will curve to avoid Narktus if he happens to do the same.

Loki smirks and unleash the arrow. Guided by his godly strength, it flares with an odd power and cut through the lightning, attempting to pierce through it and drill through Thor's shoulder. A thin string of Seithr then attempts to redirect it to pierce through Loki's side. The arrow proceed to go through the forest, carving a huge path of destruction and piercing through several hills and mountains, causing the hills to collapse and the mountains to suffer from the appearance of a huge hole in the center.

He's tripped and hit by the spikes, with the bow getting shot to pieces. Loki grimaces and begins to pull out the spikes, before remembering his cool power and just attempting to eject them.

"Caaareful now, you're not doing that much damage !"

—

Thor and Bald are battling. Thor's every move is visibly knocking Baldr around, but he keeps recovering and is quite faster than Thor, causing a stalemate.

The shockwaves reach the Loki fight, blowing the frozen trees apart.

Nicole continues waiting for Cinke to respond.

Thor knocks away the arrow with Mjolnir moments just before it can pierce him or Loki before sprinting towards Myth!Loki, leaping, and attempting to utterly brutalize him with a swift, ferocious onslaught of strikes from Mjolnir, throwing in a few punches for good measure.

Loki quickly moves to get behind Myth!Loki, where he attempts to repeatedly stab him in the back with his scepter.

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Sep 12th 2018 at 6:00:29 AM

When Loki starts trying to pull out the spikes, Gorr grins and snaps his fingers, causing them all to sprout wicked outward-facing barbs, becoming doubly difficult to pull out. If Loki uses his power to eject them now, he is liable to mangle his flesh quite badly in these spots.

   "Does this hurt, god? Before you die, I wish for you to know the pain of every mortal you have ever tormented within your immortal life, even though I imagine that the worst tortures I could ever devise for the likes of you would be naught but a pale echo of that pain."   

   "The more we mock him, the more he mocks us back! Nothing short of death will give pause to his callous humor!"    Narktus waits for the others to attack, then goes for another Speed Blitz rush on Loki. This time, however, he does not go for a teleporting kick or using the environment as leverage.

This time, he attempts to trap both himself and Loki in a spherical energy barrier, one specifically intended to keep Loki's attacks from reaching anyone except Narktus - although this will also prevent anyone except Narktus from attacking Loki in the next rounds, should the trickster god decide not to escape.

"Custard pie, and... What would you like, sir?"

Raijin says, "Mochi-wrapped ice cream, in three flavors if you could."

"Sure, which flavors?"

"Vanilla, chocolate, and green tea."

"Sure thing." After writing down those orders, Mr. Moneyfists turns to Cinke. "And you, ma'am? Do you want any dessert?"

He gets hit and pummeled at first, but his durability holds up, even though the mist seems useless against the blows. After a moment, he creates a portal on his skin and open another next to Gorr, which would let the hammer strike the god-slayer.

Loki then attempts to hit Thor in the neck multiples times, spreading tiny painful needles all over it. If it work, he then attempts to kick him once but then uses Seithr to make the same kick appears multiple times over, enhancing the strength by a degree so large, it could very well send Thor flying.

Loki then shoots the black spikes out of his back to try to spear Loki and then whip around and attempts to punch him in the face. In spite of his build, he's faster and stronger than his counterpart, moving like a blur as he attempts to jam his thumb into his eye, before attempting to smash him in the neck, punch at his heart and then attempts to kick at his wounds multiple times.

"You're so close to humans ! I don't think you've even a god or a Jotunn, just some delusional breed of superhuman !" he says. "And as for you, Gorr...spikes are nothing to me."

He focus and then all of his wounds proceeds to close, with Loki arrogantly brushing his hair.

"In fact, none of your tricks are worthwile."

Upon seeing a speedblitz, Loki just let himself get caught in the barrier and smile.

"Ho boy you're protecting me from them when the goal is to kill me, nice." he says, the blue fog swirling around him.

—

The mountains truly animate, as a gigantic, block-sized red eye opens and glances at the sky, before roaring with enough strength to be heard all the way over the area.

"Hm... it may take him a while to locate the fight but once he's here, you're all dead." says Loki, grinning.

—

Cinke shrugs and leave.

Primordia

"Alright, Domon, I'll see you around." Megan starts to walk away, but turns back and looks at Domon. "... Actually, could I stay here to train? I'm just accustomed to using this place as my training grounds now."

Bahamut looked on at the conversation. He stroked the "chin" of his helmet, and said "Hm... perhaps I could aid in this training of yours. I am rather intrigued by this martial technique — I have not seen anything quite like it before."

   "I-I might like to stay here as well..."   

"Hey, you two can stick around if you like. I take no issue with that. What about you, Reyna?"

Megan-2 seemed somewhat uncomfortable, possibly as an aftereffect of the Dragonfear Roar from earlier. Perhaps it had brought back some unpleasant memories, or perhaps she merely feared her former master's raw might — as would most individuals normally. Then again, this was the Arena. 'Normally' hardly applied here.

Then the new roar hit all of them. This one was not infused with Dragonfear, but it was powerful enough to give them all another fright.

"Gods fucking DAMNIT, can a woman not get peace and quiet for five minutes?"

"I don't know what that is, but I want to fight it."

Megan-2 merely froze in place, as her spine crawled with cold fear. She was not a fan of this sensation.

Nydarros scarcely even had time to blink before Raijin vanished off to wherever he had gone.

   "... Well, that was different. Hmmm... wonder how I'll find him again...,"    Nyr said to himself, as he wandered back inside.

   "I'm gonna be honest, I have not the slightest clue of what just happened, but I guess I'm now in consideration for being a bearer of the power of a storm god or... something,"    he said to Nats and Thranix, as he re-entered the building.

"... Huh. Can I... have a moment to get back to you on that? That almost sounded like you just offered to be the bearer of the power of a god."

Thranix, meanwhile, went to Warlock Punch the CPU-Robin, who had in the meantime re-positioned and fired off Arcthunder at Thranix, causing... well, Ganondorf just got zapped.

"Oh damn. That looks painful."

   "... Ah. I'd say that you could have knocked but... well, you did — just not on the door, for lack for a better word."   

The Elder Tyrant studied Reyna's appearance a bit longer, then told her,   "Well, if you do not insist on trying to challenge me, I shall not pursue further combat against you."   

Edited by OmegaShadowcry on Sep 13th 2018 at 12:33:33 PM

She waves goodbye to Cinke, before turning to Raijin.

"So… you're a god?"

Azula tries to make small talk.

Domon nods. "You can stay here as long as you want - just try not to make too much of a mess." He raises a hand and snaps his fingers.

Burning Gundam's Core Lander detaches and picks him up. He flies off while the Gundam exits on autopilot or something.

Hunter Reyna looks at Megan, studies her form in the skintight Mobile Trace Suit, and blushes a little again. "... Can you come see me at NLA later?" She immediately sends out Galileo and soars out.

Trainer Reyna muses while looking at the Elder Tyrant. "... Nah. Maybe I'll see you again in the future."

Latios drops down and picks her up.

"So long!" she hollers as Latios Mega Evolves and rockets away...

The needles wind up stunning Thor long enough for the kick to connect, lifting the god of thunder off his feet and sending him crashing into the nearest rock formation. Once he's had a moment to recover, he prepares to retaliate... only for Narktus to trap both himself and Myth!Loki in a spherical barrier, much to his chagrin.

"What does Narktus think he's doing? And other Thor, if you don't finish toying with Baldur and get your arse back here soon, I may just have to drag you over myself..."

After deflecting the spikes with his scepter, Loki's knocked back from the punch, but quickly whips up an illusion for Myth!Loki to pummel in his stead as he leaps aside.

"His realm's Odin truly is an utter moron for allowing this irritant to live."

He frowns when Narktus pulls his stunt, then begins charging his scepter for an attack.

"Well, I should probably get going. Thanks for the delicious food, and I'll see y'all around."

Once she's said her farewells, Nicole leaves a tip before proceeding to take her leave.

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Sep 13th 2018 at 9:50:24 AM

Mr. Moneyfist bows as Cinke and Nicole leave, then he promptly heads upstairs to get the desserts made.

Raijin waves goodbye to them, then turns to Azula. "As a matter of fact, I am. Like Nicole said, I'm the god of storms."

Edited by KiriK on Sep 13th 2018 at 11:51:53 AM

"Huh. The only gods I've seen before were the moon and sea goddesses, but…"

She shrugs.

"I've never seen a humanoid deity, at least, though I guess that Goku person was as strong as one."

Edited by Rbade on Dec 2nd 2020 at 12:19:52 PM

"I see. Say, you wouldn't happen to have some measure of power over the Storm yourself, would you?"

Narktus crosses his arms, then sweeps his hands out, expanding the barrier enough to allow the other combatants in. Then he crouches down, taps his fingers to the ground, and the barrier's light turns from yellow to red. As he rises back up, he cracks his knuckles.    "Let's get real up close and personal."   

Myth!Loki should find his magic negated or at least dampened.

Physical strength and things that are established as separate from "magic" (like mutation-based superpowers or Ki) are not affected by the red barrier, but things that are of an explicitly magical nature are. Friendly fire is also very much in effect here.

"Storm? I mean, I'm a lightning bender, but…"

She shrugs again, before raising a couple of fingers and releasing some sparks of blue electricity.

"It didn't help me much against the saiyans, though."

"Interesting... Let me give you a proposition." Raijin tells Azula about his concept of "the Storm", how he came here to reduce his own power so an enemy of his couldn't track him, and the basics of Keepers of the Storm.

"Would you be interested in being the Keeper of the Blue Storm? Sadly, the other four are already taken."

She rubs her chin, a spark in her eyes.

"My lightning is already blue, so…"

Azula nods readily, clearly excited.

"I'm up for it… as soon as my pie gets here."

"Speaking of..." says Mr. Moneyfists as he comes down the stairs with two plates. Azula's pie is on one plate. Raijin's ice cream, which is in three separate "lumps" held solid by a chewy mochi skin around each, is on the other.

"Ah, there it is."

Mr. Moneyfists sets down the desserts in front of the corresponding patrons.
