Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

"... Yeah, I suggest you let him explain." Chrom walks in.

"Well..." Awkeff gestures to the rest of the Forest Hill. "Remember what I said about making this place into a resort? I don't know if it'll last now that the boss tied to it has been vanquished, but we may as well make the most of its presence while we know it's still here."

"Huh-!"

He barely manages to skid out of the way of the full power energy wave, cursing silently as he can while constantly broadcasting his thoughts. The triclops flips around and starts to power up.

The red aura of the kaioken fades as he gets into a wide stance; his power starts to bubble for a few seconds before exploding outwards in a brilliant blueish field of genki-derived light.

"Seishinken."

"Right. Then let's set up camp here tonight and perhaps exchange a few stories, plan our eventual assault on Galeem, treat ourselves to several bottles of mead..."

Gesturing for Awkeff to follow him, Viserys heads off to find a suitable campsite in the Forest Hill.

Good fight/scene, Kirik.

Training Room Gravitas

X recovered to the sound of Klaxons; He's halfway out the door when GLaDOS speaks and calms his nerves.

X:    "Sorry; shall we continue?"   

He walks back to where he was before and actually assumes the Meito Kieiken stance.

X:    "I've pretty much got it down; Now teach me the cool stuff, pretty please."   

Travelers Towers, NLA

The Travelers had just recently invested in a multiple-story tower in NLA, and it's alarms went off when Master Hand showed up. Before Defense, in the company of Cheelai and Phoenix, could thank Glover's big cousin, he snapped off to the next.

He picked up the Smash Ball and examined it, curious, before it absorbed into him as a Spirit. His built-in HUD now displayed a Final Smash Meter on the bottom.

Defense: "That's curious. I've got a meter now."

Phoenix: "Welcome to the club! We have jackets."

Cheelai: "That was a nice one."

The three of them chuckle before Defense calms himself down.

Defense: "I oughta let Thanos know about this."

Phoenix: "Good idea."

And like that, Defense put two fingers to his forehead, tracking Thanos's energy as the other two put their hands on either shoulder.

And -POP-, Defense, Phoenix, and Cheelai arrive in front of the Sanctuary.

Callis is caught off-guard by the Seishinken.

"That's... erm... Oh, right, it was on that pamphlet Oca made, but I don't remember anything about it!"

Well, she's left herself wide open.

Awkeff dutifully follows.

"Heheh..." Targa makes the devil horns shape with both hands and jabs himself in the sides of his own fucking throat with a total of four knuckles. He stumbles about as a blood-crimson aura manifests from him, lines of burning light begin to form all over his body, and two small horns made of solidified electric energy sprout from his helmeted head.

   Meito Hateful Rebirth!   

Targa has taken on the Meito Kieiken equivalent of Burst Mode. He re-assumes the basic stance, then makes the devil-horns shape with his 'front' hand instead of his 'rear'.

Then he does a quick upwards-hooking jab, like a mini-uppercut, at X's chest with his front hand. Being hit by this Meito technique will cause him to hallucinate the presence of additional enemies based on whatever it is he fears.

   Meito Flickering Shadow Nightmare!   

Edited by KiriK on Feb 8th 2019 at 7:41:46 AM

"This technique disrupts my genki's very flow in exchange for significant power boosting. It is to the Kaioken what the Tri-Beam is to the Kamehameha."

Always the teacher, even in the middle of a fight.

He proceeds to flex his four arms before rushing Callis, going for a barrage of Machine Gun Punches (plus one Machine Gun Shank).

"... Well fuCLAUGHBRGHL" Callis gets swiftly overwhelmed by Trigo's Seishinken, ending up face-down in a snowbank... pollen-bank?

She powers up without transforming and returns fire with a simple Meteor Crash.

Training Room Gravitas

For X, everything goes blank. Everything blanks out except Targa, and his hearing is completely shot. He is isolated, alone. Everything lost again.

A single bloody tear runs down X's cheek as he rushes Targa, doing the "devil horns" motion with his rear hand as he attempts to strike Targa with a Dark Stopper.

If it's successful, he'll then hold Targa in air with some mystical force; Although it's for science, it seems a button's been pushed.

Trigo enters a clash with her; he's able to hold his own, but is knocked and staggered under the assault.

He tries to hit her with a psionic Combustion Beam.

Callis goes flying back from the explosion. She promptly counters with a technique that looks almost identical, except it's a remotely-produced explosion centered on Trigo's current position instead of some kind of invisible projectile that explodes on impact.

Targa gets hit by the Dark Stopper, caught off-guard and stumbling. That being said, his helmet logically shields his pressure point from being struck - perhaps that was the purpose of Kyo-oh's armor all along? Still, he lets X lift him off the ground. Right, I should've known a technique that makes you hallucinate your fears is a touchy subject. Should've started with Pressure Point Seal, to be honest.

Unfortunately for X, Targa's Burst Mode is still running. It gives him enough demonic strength to thrust one hand in devil-horns shape at X's forehead.

   Meito Purgation Thrust!   

If this technique connects, X will instantly lose consciousness.

Training Room Gravitas

The world comes back to X, and he widens his eyes almost in joy, not realizing the devil horns coming at him until they whack him in the head.

He goes reeling back, losing consciousness.

Trigo is caught off guard and blown back, seemingly surprised. He just smirks after he recovers, though.

”Nice move.”

He then proceeds to dash at her, ready to dodge at a moment’s notice.

Edited by Rbade on Feb 8th 2019 at 7:06:19 AM

Callis' first reflex at seeing Trigo coming closer is also to dodge, even if he didn't attack. Kinda funny, that.

Targa waits until X wakes up, then apologizes for the use of Flickering Shadow Nightmare.

"I believe it's time to cover something we probably should've gone over at the start in case this very thing happened - a way to undo all struck pressure points on your body at will. I theorized that Meito's mind-affecting abilities were originally intended to make it a companion to Hokuto Shinken, as most of the effects prevent you from using such a technique. However, Flickering Shadow Nightmare is one of the few that leaves the victim well enough to undo it themselves."

Targa extends only his index fingers, then crosses them over himself and jabs himself in the sides of the chest, pushing through his own armor plating. He is surrounded by a pale blue rippling aura as his horns break and his Burst Mode ends.

Pressure Point Seal!

"… Huh."

Whatever, this just means he has an opportunity to attack. Energy starts building up in his body once again, as he tries to tag her with a quick four-armed "Kikoho!"

Training Room Gravitas

X wakes up, holding his head. He listens to Targa before jumping up and trying the same maneuver, successfully blocking his pressure points.

X:    "Ah, that's nice."   

"OHSHIT"

Callis rebuffs it by turning Super Saiyan Blue.

"I suppose if Oca was trying to determine if skill can get you this far against strength, you'd have won. But I won't be satisfied until one of us is on the ground."

"And, there's one more technique, but I don't trust you with it yet, for it is the central skill of Meito Kieiken. I'm not saying I don't think you can learn it, I'm saying I don't believe you should. Don't take it personally, but I'm sure I'll be teaching it to you in due time."

"And with that, today's training is complete."

Training Room Gravitas

X smirked.

X:    "Well, thanks for the vote of confidence there, buddy. Now, if only there were someone to test this on; Someone who doesn't know the technique, or that I have it..."   

He just looks at her, and smirks even harder.

"I fully expect to lose against a Divine being, but I think that my experience will carry me on for a little while further."

The triclops paladin raises a hand and attempts to smite her with a lightning bolt out of the sky before immediately tensing up to counter her inevitable next move.

Edited by Rbade on Feb 8th 2019 at 8:23:48 AM

Callis sees it coming and blocks it with her presumably-rubber-insulated glove. Then she puts up a Counter Burst shield.

   "Request accepted."   

"Oh fuck."

   "Executing Space-Time Transport... Extra-dimensional road... Booting... 3... 2... 1... ...BEGIN!"   

Swarm of Horrors (Death Egg Robot Phase 1 - Sonic Forces)

A hole in spacetime opens up in the ceiling of the training room, and... Slenderman wearing sneakers?!... drops out of it, landing feet-first while remaining in a standing position, almost like he's T-posing.

City of Alien Geometries

A star-shaped portal opens up, leading into Space Fortress Gravitas - specifically the hallways within Cellblock D of the prisoners' brig, which is located above Cellblock C, and the training room is down the hall from Cellblock C.

Travelers Tower

Another gateway opens up right in front of Pinkamena's face. The portal leads to the Observation Deck, a hallway of inter-dimensional camera monitors and defense turret operation seats - which is on the literal opposite side of Fortress Gravitas from Cellblocks C and D.

The Dark Realm

A fourth and final stargate opens up underneath Red... but since Red is a kaiju, he fails to fall through it. The fact that the portal is slowly widening to accommodate this fact may change it. Anyway, it will drop him into the fucking Throne Room, the only place large enough to fit him in it unless he shrinks himself down.

Edited by KiriK on Feb 5th 2020 at 3:22:48 AM

Unfortunately for Callis, Trigo is closing in for some melee action. Fortunately for Callis, the strength difference is high enough that a direct attack probably wouldn't do much real damage to her.

Unfortunately for Callis, his ki flares for a second as he dashes before attempting to drive his leg into her crotch at maximum power.

Training Room

X:    "Oh, what the hell Star Dream?"   

X assumes the position, attempting to catch Slendy in a Hand Of Hatred, push him against the wall, and sustain the technique, holding him there.

He then turns to Targa.

X:    "Check for any further breaches, I've got ol' No-Face over here."   

City Of Alien Geometries -> Cellblock D

Ash, Xion, and Springtrap all peer into the hole, but Suicide Mouse casts Magnet to pull them all away before jumping in, the portal closing behind him.

Ash: "How rude!"

Travelers Tower: Bakery -> Observation Room

Pinkamena simply falls in face first, blinking as she looks around, the portal closing behind her.

Pinkamena:    "Maybe here I can cut loose on some bad guys!"   

The Dark Realm -> Throne Room

RED simply looks under himself to see the star-shaped hole. He grumbles to himself before shrinking down and falling through the hole and into the Throne Room before growing back to about a half of his normal size.

RED:    "Hello there."

????

Nyalarthotep would sense the chaos of a massive new asshole being ripped in spacetime. A flood of what most lesser beings would consider horrors... An interesting time indeed... Nyalarthotep would travel to the Training room Gravitas, and would cloak their presence, Observing the fight... This is going to be a fun time... Actually... why just watch one fight? Nylarthotep would reach outside of the three dimensional plane, Appearing in The city of alien Geometries, The travelers tower, and the Throne room at the same time as well as at the training centre. The crawling chaos would watch, cloaked to most beings, staying still.

Edited by ReynTheLord on Feb 8th 2019 at 8:09:10 AM

Callis lets out a squeak of pained regret.

Not having male genitals only makes a Groin Attack slightly less painful, but it still stings.

Slenderman is pinned against the wall.

"Right!" Targa sprints down towards Cellblock C.

Then Slenderman's entire form turns to television static and he disappears with a quick burst of the same horrible mechanical screech that plays when someone is in proximity to him.

—

Cellblock A

Relatively close to the Observation Deck, Slendy materializes in a hallway full of armed guards. They immediately raise their guns at him and start spraying, and he just goes full Teleport Spam until the hall is suddenly completely empty - not even bodies are left. He spares the prisoners trapped in their cells for reasons unknown, and dusts himself off with one arm. There are also a lot of tentacles left sticking through the floor and ceiling in his wake.

—

Cellblock D

A similar situation to what just happened with Slenderman happens over in the cellblock across the station. All the guards in the cellblock go on high alert and aim their weapons at Suicide Mouse, but unlike with Slendy, they do not immediately fire.

—

Observation Deck

There are indeed some bad guys. The turret gunners jump out of their control seats and turn to face Pinkamena, revealing these ones in particular to be Yautja. Explains why they weren't packing rifles and shotguns like the human guards in the cellblocks, at least.

—

Throne Room

Narktus is holding the Smash Ball spirit with one hand when Red enters. He immediately slams an alarm button, sending the entire space fortress into maximum alert yet again, and this time it's not a false alarm. Four Magnaguards wielding electro-staves emerge from the walls nearest the exit. They may not stand a chance in Hell against Red, but they have a chance to lure him out of the room.

Edited by KiriK on Feb 5th 2020 at 3:28:05 AM

Trigo attempts to keep the pressure on with an Leg Sweep followed by a quick burst of Soul Cannon fire.

Seelengewehr!"

If she manages to counter he'll try to cross up with a slide before doing a Flip Axe Kick to the neck.

Somewhere in the vicinity of the Counterassassin Base, one of the last remaining members of Pseudo Porky's once powerful organization receives Master Hand's present. It doesn't take long for him to puzzle together that this item was supposed to be addressed to the organization as a whole, and the implications of him receiving it send a chill down his spine. If he, of all people, has received the item - he, the newcomer who has barely even had a chance to prove his worth, then the situation is exactly as bad as he feared it was.

Still, anything that can help him prepare for the battles ahead is welcome, and Sombra senses great power coming from the spiritual orb. He reaches out to touch it with his hoof.

—-

Mystia too receives her spirit ball as she relaxes at the top of the Noctilucent Sphere, the very same place where her corrupted Jamba self was defeated a while ago. She is honestly not entirely sure why she in particular received this item, but if the Hand sees her as a particularly valuable ally in the battle against the Light, then the greatest diva in all dimensions will gladly accept this gift from a devoted fan.
