Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Napari floats away from Hisoka, though he tries to maintain his position.

"Seihshihnkehn!"

His red aura flares before being replaced by an exponentially stronger off-white one. He convulses for a second, and his geisterwand barrier expands by a huge amount.

He raises a hand through one of the few gaps between the barrier components.

"Dohdohnpah!", he shouts as he fires a brilliant purple laser from his claw.

The Ruined Dragon flinches and blinks again. It makes no attempt to get Reyna off its back, instead opting to just slam a claw down on top of Nyr's current position.

Agent 8 holds up a hand and rises into the air, surrounded in a layer of protective ink like a bodysuit. "This'll sound weird, but I need all of you to start yelling 'Booyah!' as much as you can!"

Reyna notices that the Ruined Dragon's crown is fastened to its head by two pins in its snout. She promptly shoots her remaining Slinger ammo at those pins in an attempt to dislodge them. "Oh! Uh... BOOYAH! BOOYAH! BOOYAH!"

GE!DMK gets pushed away by the Striking Venom's gunfire, ending up on the edge of the Halberd deck. He promptly kicks off and lets himself plummet, preparing for a more complicated maneuver.

Meta Knight stops the hammer with his sword, taking chip damage but still dropping down. He feints another attack to try and make Mr. L pause, then changes course and charges at Assassin!DMK.

He performs a Galaxia Calibur, attempting to uppercut the Assassin into the air and strike him with a barrage of teleporting slashes before finishing with a spike into the deck. Of course, if the uppercut misses, he won't even try the rest of the attack.

Back with the Hollow Knight, said character had descended on the mob of Hubs and upon seeing them group together channeled his Soul energy and rose his arm, generating a large spray of swords formed from light that flew towards them. Recalling a technique Miles and company had shown him, he then gathered energy into the Pure Nail and ran forward, unleashing a powerful Charged Slash.

__________________________________

Over with Nebula, the Spider lady clapped her hands and began generating a miniature blizzard in the area around Hisoka to hopefully hinder his movement. Following this up, she conjured several ice constructs in the shape of wolves before sending them out after him as well.

__________________________________

Narrowly dodging shots from the Striking Venom, it was clear to Miles that things were only getting worse. Regardless, he knew he had to focus on what he could do right now. As such, he raced towards Assassin DMK as his arms morphed into goo again and he leaped into the air, sprouting multiple arms and reinforcing them with Ki Energy before unleashing a relentless barrage on the fallen knight.

Mr L falls for the feint, and drops back down to the ground without being able to send another attack Meta Knight's way.

Not expecting Miles' attack, Dark Meta Knight gets taken by surprise, hiding inside a mirror and having it deflect the blasts.

However, once Meta Knight's flurry of attacks joins Miles', the combined pressure becomes too much, and the mirror shatters, sending Dark Meta Knight hurling towards the side of the ship, unable to retaliate immediately.

The Blizzard starts to slow Hisoka down, and allows Napari's Dodonpa to hit him, making him stagger back as he'd dropped his Nen Aura to start using his Bungee Gum, but didn't get a chance to use it due to the blizzard.

Mr L quickly lands besides him, then fires green lightning at Nebula's attacks to shatter them on sight.

The Striking Venom Hub glances as GE!DMK seems to fall over the side of the ship. Chuckling darkly, he then sets his sights on Meta Knight instead, and fires plasma shots from the sides of the machine's head.

The Hubs are starting to look worried about Goku now, though they also remain wary of the Knight. The ones with swords fly up towards his attacks to block them with their own swords. However, when the Knight charges at them with its nail, he manages to strike and kill three of the Hubs, upon which the remaining 12 sword-using Hubs try to charge him from multiple sides, attempting to stab him.

Meanwhile, Mara attempts to land on the dome, and if it works, the impact will surely send it, with Goku inside, crashing all the way down towards the ground.

26/35 Hubs

Cyber awaits while the currently invisible Jack Frost◊ fazes into the ship (as he's a spirit), and tries to find a way for Cyber to enter the ship.

Meanwhile, high above the sky, three figures are flying, one of them holding a card.

   "Wait for Cyber's signal..."   , one of them says.

Meta Knight gets battered back. His arms go limp and his wings droop down, indicating that he is heavily injured.

He does a Shuttle Loop, gliding up onto the Striking Venom's back, and attempts to sever the turret from its base with a Meta Spin Slash.

Meanwhile, GE!Dark Meta Knight uses a Blade Burst of his own while underneath the Halberd, sending gigantic silver blades erupting through the Halberd from bottom to top, aiming to stab them into Assassin!DMK and Hisoka.

Jack Frost may also see one of these blades tearing through the floors as he searches the inside of the Halberd.

Something green with a hint of red is rapidly approaching the Halberd, moving like a blur...

Edited by KiriK on Oct 14th 2018 at 1:53:20 PM

Goku is sent flying down....

... And then teleport towards Nabari with his instant transmission, still charging up his Kamehameha.

"Sorry !" he says, before bursting downward to try to surprise the Hubs + Mara and then...

"HAAAAAAAA !" he says, unleashing a gigantic Kill Sat of a Kamehameha, illuminating his surroundings in blue as he unleash a True Kamehameha, the blue beam tearing through the arena and blasting a very large crater into the ground below, travelling screaming through the void and illuminating all the way down, through several kilometers before eventually fading out.

It has no friendly fire, so everyone is in danger if they get engulfed by the beam.

Goku, hands raised, sighs and goes back to Super Saiyan, waiting to see how affected they were by his attack.

"No one was down there." he says. "I'm grateful about this place's power limiter... if it were on Earth, it'd be bye bye the solar system!"

Edited by Bolded1 on Oct 14th 2018 at 8:54:36 PM

Napari looks down at Goku in awe.

"I see why so many consider this man a god…"

>crisisoffaith.jpeg

He takes this time to inspect his left arm and amputate it. The off-white Seishinken aura still flares around him, sucking up pieces of his life force.

Apparently, the Hubs had finally taken notice of the Knight as now he found himself being surrounded on all sides. Not backing down though, he raised his weapon and began deflecting the sword strikes of his opponents, his other arm lashing out in the form of Void Tentacles to sweep aside and strike down those in his way.

He took a slash on the chest...only for him to not even feel the pain as he leaped into the air and stabbed his sword into the ground causing small circles of light to show up all over the area before giant swords of light would shoot up to impale anyone caught on them. _________________________________

Nebula's eye twitched at the idea of facing Luigi of all people. She liked Luigi, but even so, she had a job to do. Wincing as her ice constructs broke and she narrowly dodged his lightning blast, she sighed, "Sorry about this, Luigi..." She conjured ice all around her forearms which then took the shape of crossbows as she started skating sideways along the ice while shooting rapid-fire frost bolts at Mr L. ________________________________

Seeing that their enemy was stunned for the moment, Miles turned to see Meta Knight assaulting the Striking Venom. He ran towards the machine as his body grew larger and more powerful, overflowing with the green lightning Raijin had lended him. "Meta Knight! When you take out the turret, jump! I'm gonna try and fry its circuits!!" With those words, Miles, now getting closer to resembling Void Termina, would reach out to grapple onto the thing and unload all his stored electricity into its system.

Mr L jumps over as many of the frost bolts as he can, and those he can't jump over, he bashes away with his hammer.

   "Luigi? You must mistake me for someone else. I am the Green Thunder, Mr L!"   

He then starts bashing the bolts back Nebula's way, trying to have her get hit by her own attacks.

Hisoka sees the blade coming and barely manages to jump back, taking a moment to breathe afterwards, but then throws some Nen-infused cards at Napari.

Dark Meta Knight is not so lucky though, and he gets cut through his wing as he's trying to dodge. As such, he ends up on the floor, badly wounded.

A small dome appears around the Striking Venom, shielding it from Meta Knight's slash and Miles' electricity, and Hub snickers darkly.

"Well, turns out I can still use regular Data Chips with this thing. Whatever it is, it's some pretty advanced technology."

The Striking Venom turns towards the both of them, but adresses Meta Knight in particular.

"Get ready to face the consequences of your actions. For causing us trouble, you and your ship will burn!"

The Striking Venom fires at Meta Knight and Miles from its gattling gun, plasma cannons and the energy disc shooter it has on its turret, dropping the dome to do so.

Neither Mara nor the Hubs see this attack coming, and before the latter can even continue fighting the Knight, they, as well as Mara, are all engulfed by it, sent all the way back to the ground. Their fates are unclear at the moment.

Jack Frost flinches when he sees the blade. He may be invisible, but he's not untouchable.

   Right... gonna have to be extra careful.   , he thinks to himself as he continues to search.

Cyber swiftly flies over the silver blades, as he was in their path as well. Turning to look at Meta Knight for a moment, he then raises his arm cannon up and shoots a blast up in the air.

   "There's the signal!"   , one of the three up in the air says, and they drop the card, which starts to glow and take form.

It lands on the Halberd's deck, in front of Dark Meta Knight, the landing hard enough to potentially cause the deck to shake. The Black Knight◊ has arrived, and brandishes his sword.

The Black Knight

   "I think that should be enough of us to clear the job. If not, Cyber'll message for us."   

The three then leave the area.

Meta Knight gets thrown off the Striking Venom's back and engulfed in a barrage of projectile fire.

He collapses.

As the Black Knight lands, the Halberd rocks significantly, listing heavily to port side, and Meta Knight's body goes tumbling off the deck, plummeting into the dark jungles below.

GE!Dark Meta Knight notices. "!!!!!"

He flies back up to the deck and conjures a small army of Dark Mirror bodies, which all rush the Striking Venom's legs at once.

The green blur stops in front of Napari, taking the hits of the cards for him.    "Kekekeke... You tried to uproot the leader of our tribe! Now, I, Saibaking, the cream of the crop, am here to defend him!"   

The Saibaking rushes Hisoka, his arms and legs a flurry of claw swipes.

Noctilum

Meta Knight's body falls through the canopy and hits the ground with a thud.

A silhouette approaches.    "Found him."   

"Condition?"

   "Dying, but still currently alive."   

"That's all we need. Bring him on back."

Weiss Schnee, brainwashed agent of Gravitas, picks up Meta Knight's limp form before disappearing with him.

Edited by KiriK on Oct 14th 2018 at 2:37:54 PM

He grins.

"Hail, Saibahkihng!"

"Shohw thihs rohtten piehce ohf meat the pohwer of the Saih!"

He raises his remaining arm and fires a few magic pulses to boost the Saibaking's stats.

Edited by Rbade on Oct 14th 2018 at 12:56:58 PM

Even though the Knight wasn't caught in the epicenter of the blast, the blast waves themselves were still powerful enough to send him flying, smash through a wall and get partly buried under some rubble for the moment. ________________________________

"Come on, Luigi! I know you're in there! Think about your brother, Mario, and-" She never got the chance to finish as the ship suddenly shook and tilted wildly, tripping her up and allowing her to get hit in the face with one of her own ice chunks, sending her tumbling along the ship and grabbing onto a half-busted pipe to stop herself.

_______________________________

"A barrier? Seriously?!!" Miles gave a frustrated groan before he saw the mech starting to charge up and backed off in time to create a shield...only for said shield to break apart as he screamed in pain while being hammered by plasma blasts and he found himself knocked off his feet as he slid towards the edge of the ship, grappling on for dear life...only to see his friend fall over the edge, "META KNIGHT!!! NOOOOO!!!"

All he could do was hang there and watch his friend vanish beneath the clouds...

Goku heads for the knight first and foremost, attempting to bring him out of the rubble. If he succeed, he attempts to give him a senzu : the nerfed healing effect won't bring him back to full health but it'll still be one hell of a vitality boost.

"Sorry about the attack! I assumed that this place would have... friendly fire." he says. "I'm going to try and help." says Goku, his aura flaring as he flies back towards the Halberd. Upon seeing it flipped over, he powers up a little and attempts to ram his fist into the nearest assassin's facial features !

Mr L, who's unfazed by the tilting because he knew it was gonna happen, approaches her, hammer in one hand and sparks running across the other. He looks down at her with narrowed eyes.

   "I don't know anyone named Mario. Sounds like a jumpy guy. The only brother I have is my metal bro-"   

He then gets rammed into a wall by Goku.

Hisoka blinks at the arrival of the Saibaking, then braces himself when it attacks him. He brings out his cards and wields them like makeshift daggers in order to parry the Saibaking's slashes, and is forced to stay on the defensive.

Hub grins, and sends an electronic message to Cyber.

"The clones I took with me have been destroyed, but I managed to kill Meta Knight."

He glances at Miles when he notices his reaction.

"... Knowing these people, there's about a 50% chance he's gonna fly into a rage anytime now. I best take him out before he has a chance to-"

He's then caught off guard when the Striking Venom's legs come under siege, making it stagger and flinch.

Dark Meta Knight takes a moment to try to recover.

The Black Knight approaches Miles, but surprisingly, he doesn't attack him.

"Why are you making yourself vulnerable on the battlefield?", he asks.

Mara suddenly leaps up from the ground, using an explosion to propel her all the way up into the air and landing back on the Halberd, now pissed and having transformed into her armored form◊.

She immediately targets Goku, attempting to grab a hold of him and slam him into the floor.

Jack Frost pops back up near Cyber.

   "I think I found an elevator that's linked to the deck."   

"Good.", Cyber says as Jack starts leading him over to it.

Edited by DevilPsyco on Oct 14th 2018 at 10:07:09 AM

The Saibaking leaps back, looking over at Mr. L.    "You look like a prime target. Brothers, to me!"   

A Tennenman, Jinkouman, Kaiwareman, Kyukonman, and Copyman appear around him, then rush Mr. L, all attempting to cling to him...

The real GE!DMK flies at the Striking Venom and attacks with Dark Drill into Dark Spiral up to its central body, then attempts to spike a gigantic blade through it with the Meteor Edge finisher.

He continues boosting his followers, raising his arms and yelling something about the power of The Cultivator.

"Power, embed!"

Saibaking should acquire a sharp raise in attack power.

"You look like a pretty nice guy !" says Goku, gathering Ki in his fist and attempting to punch/blast Mr.L towards the Saibagroup, just in time to get caught and slammed to the floor, reacting with a started yelp. He attempts to quickly gauge Mara's power and take the adopted form. If he can't, he stick to Super Saiyan and kick at her cheek, attempting to free himself.

"Whoah, you took my Kamehameha !" he comments. "This is interesting !"

Edited by Bolded1 on Oct 14th 2018 at 10:16:47 AM

The Knight stood up after being freed and took the offered bean, but as he had no mouth, he just stored it away before seeing that the clones were no more. As such, he turned and leaped off towards the main part of the ship.... _____________________

Nebula pulled herself up and wiped the blood from her face. It was becoming clear to her this wasn't the Luigi she knew, and she was starting to doubt she would get through to him with words. As such, she stood up and spotted Miles in the distance, injured. "Miles!"

He'll be fine. We have a job to do, remember? Corona's voice reasoned in their shared mind. With a sigh, she nodded and turned to focus on Hisoka, tapping the ground and causing a wave of ice to shoot forth to try and at least trap his legs. _____________________

"Huh?" He looked up at the Black Knight, "What are you.." The sounds of battle seemed to bring him back to reality. There was still a fight going on, and he was needed. As such, he hauled himself up, Meta Knight...I won't let you down...

Gnarling his teeth but remaining focused, his Ki suddenly spiked heavily before taking on a type of Tranquil Fury. Aiming it at the source, he suddenly would vanish from normal sight only to reappear a few feet in front of Striking Venom, his fist supersized and overflowing with energy before he swung it forward to smash through the machine's defenses.

Edited by GamerXZ on Oct 14th 2018 at 1:30:40 AM

Mr L wobbles back onto the battlefield, kinda out of it because of Goku's punch.

He then gets punched towards the various types of Saibamen and gets clung onto, looking very confused about what's happening.

With the Saibaking now no longer his issue, Hisoka turns around to see if he can target anyone else. He then notices Nebula, and is able to partly avoid her attack, only getting one leg caught in the ice, up to his knee. He looks down at it.

   "... well, that won't do, will it?~"   

He then, likely to Nebula's horror, slashes his trapped leg off with one of his cards, without even a moment of hesitation, not even flinching.

Now standing on one leg, he looks back at Nebula and motions for her to continue attacking him, as if losing his leg doesn't mean a thing to him.

Hub is unable to get the Striking Venom to defend itself against the two warriors, and just before the Meteor Edge lands, he 'ejects' his data from the machine, reappearing besides it as it turns off, not willing to potentially explode with it if the attack causes it to.

He turns to Miles with a sneer on his face.

   "You've got no right to be angry, that little batball did us a nasty trick. We simply came to return the favor."   

Taking on his Hub Soul mode, he then prepares to fight seriously.

The Black Knight, after having watched Miles rejoin the fight, approaches GE!DMK, sword at the ready.

"Come at me, fellow warrior."

Mara is too fast for Goku to gauge immediately, and keeps a steady grip on him despite his kick landing, which'll tell him that Super Saiyan 2 isn't enough.

   "There's no way I'd die that easily, brat!"   , she growls, then attempts to grab his mouth with her other hand. If successful, she'll trigger an explosion in said hand.

With nobody stopping Jack and Cyber, they make it to the elevator.

"Now how do I activate this...", he ponders, perfectly calm despite being in the middle of a hectic battlefield.

Saibaking nods to Napari.    "Thank you, O great Priest of the Cultivator! Now then..."   

He holds out a hand which contorts into two fingers pointed straight up with the third tucked in, and an explosion erupts underneath Mr. L at the same time that all of the subspecies Saibamen use their self-destruct attacks.

Meanwhile, the Striking Venom's body gets spiked hard enough to sever it from its legs, and it collapses in a heap, not yet totally destroyed but now pretty much useless.

GE!DMK wordlessly rushes the Black Knight with a Dark Multithrust.

Edited by KiriK on Oct 14th 2018 at 3:45:23 AM

"Thahnk you, Saibahkihng. Nohw, however…"

He turns his attention back to Hisoka. Another small piece of his genki is consumed by the technique as his power flares. He sticks his left arm in front of him before starting to pull it slowly back, as blue energy sparks.

"Ka… Me… Ha…"

Goku's hit by the explosion and end up reeling, though he focuses and unleashes Super Saiyan 3, IT'ing behind Mara and attempting to elbow and kick her way up in the air !

He roars and appears above her, attempting to bash her down towards the Halberd. However, she won't be able to make it to the ship himself, since Goku appears in front of her beforehand and attempts to blast her with a point-blank

"KAMEHAMEHA !"

Edited by Bolded1 on Oct 14th 2018 at 10:51:30 AM

Nebula gasped in horror at Hisoka cutting off his leg. Either this guy really was sick in the head...or he had some sort of plan. "Sorry, but I'm not letting you get back that limb..." She sprayed some more ice in the direction of his chopped off limb before seeing Hollow Knight land next to her, "Nice timing."

The Knight nodded and began channeling Soul energy which caused both the area around him to flash with a blast of energy, but the air in several places around them would suddenly have the air distorted before an damaging flash would go off in them.

____________________

"M-Megaman??!" Miles was caught a little off-guard before baring his teeth, "What happened to you...? You were a hero! Not just to me...but to lots of other people!!" Angered by this betrayal, he focused said anger into his bladed limbs as he leaped towards the fallen Blue Bomber, releasing several deadly rapid slashes before leaping up to turn his leg into a giant spiked mace and bring it down on his head.

The explosion hits Mr L point blank, and afterwards he lies on the ground in a very specific pose, completely out cold.

Hisoka then raises his finger, and his chopped-off limb suddenly breaks out of the ice, propelled into his hand. He smirks.

   "Unfortunately, I'm a little attached to my limb. ... Well, not literally right now~"   

He then narrows his eyes when the Knight is about to attack and Napari is charging something up, and instead of sticking around, he actually jumps off of the Halberd to avoid the attack.

And through a string of pink Nen that's attached to Mr L, the defeated green-clothed mercenary is pulled along with him.

   "Have you been living under a rock, kid? I haven't been a hero for quite some time now."   

Turning his arm cannons into swords, he parries Miles' attacks, not having too much trouble in his transformed state, and then skids around his mace to dodge it and appear right to his side.

   "Get with the program."   

He then attempts to stab Miles through his neck.

Each hit from GE!DMK hits the Black Knight, but it seems to do little, if anything at all.

"Hm..."

He then raises his sword and tries to slam it down onto the smaller warrior with great power and impact.

Mara gets elbowed up into the air, though blasts herself to the side with an explosion before Goku can bash her back or fire his Kameha, landing on one of the Halberd's wings and throwing swords at Goku.

And despite his toughness, he'll find that these swords can hurt him if they hit.

Cyber taps his foot.

"... it's not opening."

   "Maybe only Meta Knight can activate it."   

"... well, that wouldn't surprise me. In that case..."

He snaps his fingers.

"Get a Hub to ready the SC. We killed Meta Knight, so we did what we came here for. We're done here."

Jack Frost nods and vanishes, and Cyber spreads his mechanical wings, apparently planning to leave the battle.

He gets slashed in the cheeks and part of the arms as he speed forward, going for a powerful kick. Mid-kick however, his aura... dims and becomes red, with his hair instantly going back to their original size and shape. His body adopts a weird red hue and gets somewhat slimmer, though the strength of his kick is way amplified !

Closer observation will reveal that he's somehow wielding the power of a god !

"Whoah !" he says. "Those other guys went down to my regular transformations ! Are you the strongest of the group ?" he asks, landing several meters in front of Mara if he succeed.
