Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Actually I think I’m good on participating, I’m gonna read up a bit more on the setting before jumping in, it’s been a while.

Neuff's surprised eyes soon turn into a nasty glare and she holds her hammer up, charging it.

Argo might be there, be careful. she says. Let's move at it efficiently. proposes Neuff, preparing to go all-out to save Demo !

Hm ? No, not a literal letter, more like thIS he says, firing with his repulsors !

[[spoilers:Good to see you back, Skiller !]]

Wriggle doesn't let him grab her, but instead follows him on her own volition, using the full agility afforded by her insect flight to avoid being in the path of a giant bloody meteor. However, when it impacts and plant life starts growing everywhere, she goes absolutely livid.

   "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!    she yells, completely forgetting about Dark Pit in her sheer rage.    "You can't just drop a forest into this delicate desert canyon ecosystem! Do you have ANY idea how many insect and anthropod habitats you might have destroyed right now?! And people wonder why I hate your kind! If you're not going to do your job and do it fucking RIGHT then what the hell makes you so deserving of worship? Why are we to kiss the very ground you walk on when all you're going to do for us in return is FUCK EVERYTHING UP FOREVER?!

"Um... No ecosystems were in danger. Reset Bombs only put humans at risk. Did you see any humans around?"

Dark Pit grimaces and makes a beckoning gesture. "Let's finish our little game of 'danmaku' first, and take revenge later. I know just the pitstain to rope into helping us..."

"Oh, great, they saddled him with one of that bratty demon's superpowered slaves... Doesn't take a genius to figure out who the other one could've went to."

Sighing, Pietro transforms into his Chaos Form before hurling a Chaos Magic replica of Mjolnir at whoever was behind him and Neuff.

   "Couldn't have said it better myself, Neuff!"

   "Oh? And growing a fucking FOREST in the middle of a desert does not put animals adapted to life in a desert at risk? Are you even listening to yourself? You are so full of shit!"   

She sighs and turns to Dark Pit.    "Just to make things absolutely clear, you're not with her, right? I'll trust your word over hers on it, since she appears to be kind of a basket case. I don't know what I expected anyways."   

Viridi goes silent and starts muttering something.

Dark Pit shakes his head. "I was, when our interests aligned at one point. They don't anymore. Now let's finish this, unless you're going to let your anger leave this challenge unfulfilled!" He aims the Dark Pit Staff. Seems he's all better now.

The biker's eyes narrow underneath his helmet as the repulsor blast impacts against a shimmering dark field that surrounds the puppet fighter like an outline, only becoming visible when the blast comes within impact distance. The barrier absorbs the blast and shatters like glass, dissolving into thin air. His Spirit, Rico Jr◊, appears behind him as he crosses his arms and his aura flares up.

   "Well, that failed horrendously."   , he says.    "Seems you're eager to fight me, old man. How about we see if you can actually keep up with me while we're at it."   

He jumps onto his motorcycle and starts to drive towards the nearby cluster of giant, fallen tree trunks. His wheels noticably change their positions to accommodate for the new surface, so this'll clue Tony in that it's no ordinary motorbike.

As he's driving towards the trees, the biker draws a sword, driving with one hand now, and shoots a bolt of lightning from it towards Iron Man. If Iron Man dodges, he might still feel a powerful wind pass by him as well, potentially knocking him off balance.

Sharing with a Demon once more

Fighter: Alex

Spirit: Rico Jr

• All attacks have a wind effect to them

• Close-range attacks have increased power

• The fighter continuously moves

Demo starts to snicker darkly and swings his chain around himself, with it still sparking from Neuff's attack. He then slams it on the ground to sent the lightning right back at Pietro. And with William's buff, the wave of lightning will badly hurt if it hits.

Meanwhile, Argo◊ leaps up, out of the roots to dodge Pietro's attack. He, as they've figured, has Emelyn, the female Darkling◊ as his Spirit.

Then, to perhaps Neuff's and Pietro's shock, Argo will actually float in mid-air for a few seconds, as if having gained the ability to fly. Then, turning his hands into claws, he dives down out of the air, aiming himself at Neuff and trying to slash at her head.

Duos bound by fate and darkness

Fighter: Demo (+Argo)

Spirit: Emelyn and William (Darklings)

• The fighters strength is greatly increased

• Flight

• Prefers to attack

Hellfire Fly

   "Let's finish this. You're a little bit tougher than I expected, so it looks like I can get a little bit more serious as well! Toxin [Youkai Slayer In Single Sting]!"   

A magic circle◊ composed of glowing green knots squirming like worms appears in front of Wriggle and she thrusts her hand into it. What comes out on the other end is a fat black scorpion tail attempting to strike Dark Pit. Unsurprisingly, if it connects, he will suffer a severe poisoning, deadlier than the earlier illness from the mosquitoes.

Old man ? he says, blinking and then taking off at high speed, seemingly having little troubles flying up. He actually opt to tank the attack, pushing through with the damage being somewhat reduced thanks to some gizmo in his armor. Hell, it seems that his subsequent Beam Spam is actually empowered by the lightning !

That was even more horrendous ! Thanks for the energy, Fonzie !

—

Neuff's eyes narrows and she dodges Argo, before attempting to punch him in the stomach. She then attempts to punch and kick him in the face multiple times over, before attempting to jump and spike him as if he turned into a volleyball, packing devastating power behind her strike.

Let's see if they're as durable as before.

Uprising (Boss Battle 1 - Kid Icarus Uprising)

Now standing on the ground, Dark Pit sidesteps the stinger by sliding left with surprising grace, returning fire by shooting three large bolts from his staff at her as he dives to the right.

Darting aside to avoid the redirected lightning, Pietro dashes at Demo in a zigzag pattern to try throwing him off before attempting to nail him with a momentum-fueled headbutt to the face.

   "Don't you worry, Neuff, he's not gonna be maimed beyond recognition once I'm done with him!"   

Vague Primordia

Metallix-✗ blocks the fireballs and associated explosions, clearly battered but not too damaged. he fires two mini-rockets, this time amplifying them with a FIRE modifier.

The FIRE rockets zoom towards Mario.

Bowser jumps up and attempts to punch Mario to the ground, potentially allowing the other attacks to hit.

Stormcloud Charge: 2/2

Waluigi: "It's ready!"

Waluigi throws up the Stormcloud, pointing to Mario. It flies directly over his head and fires a large lightning bolt.

Wriggle is prepared this time, and deftly dodges around the bolts, letting Dark Pit know that this trick won't work as well anymore. Even more importantly, she forms her hands into jagged scimitars similar to an antlion's jaws and rushes at him in a zigzagging pattern to prevent him from getting a clear shot. Since he is deprived of his blades and his staff seems to be a long-range weapon only, she reasons that if she manages to get into melee range, he will be done for.

The biker growls when he figures it out, and the lightning sparking around the sword suddenly changes into fire.

   "You know what they say though. Third time's the charm!"   , he says as he starts to drive in a circle rapidly, holding up his sword to create a swirling vortex of fire, which is headed right for Iron Man.

Demo is successfully confused and ends up getting headbutted, the force of Pietro's speed sending him staggering backwards into the roots as he holds his head;

Argo gets punched, then comboed into Neuff's powerful attacks, ending up crashing into the ground.

He gets up almost immediately though, cracking his neck a little, and Demo pushes himself up just as easily as he summons forth a chain with a scythe-blade on each end◊, holding onto one side as he chucks the other towards Neuff. Looks like they're not just as durable as they used to be, but perhaps even more than before.

Mario jumps away from D!Bowser and uses a simple-swipe Shining Slash to reflect Metallix's rockets back at it.

The stormcloud, however, finally knocks him into the air, and K!Bowser follows up with his lunging dropkick to send him tumbling to the ground.

He lands on his feet. His hands fill up with flames...

"Oh, yeah! HEE-YAH!" He thrusts his hands forward as two giant golden fireballs erupt forth, swirling in a helix pattern through the air. Unlike the regular Mario Finale whose fireballs spread apart from each other as they travel, this '24-Karat Finale' is much more closely knit, meaning it covers a narrower area but can also rack up a lot more damage.

Dark Pit hunkers forward and takes a step that suddenly sends him skidding forward across the ground at high speed. In the blink of an eye, he is right in front of Wriggle. He attempts to bash her with a combo of Dark Pit Staff hits, showing that he can use it as both a gun and a martial staff.

Vague Primordia

Waluigi jumps back.

D!Bowser tries to block with his shield, only to get knocked back.

The Stormcloud attempts another bolt of lightning, this time stronger, before dissipating.

Stormcloud Charge: 0/2

Neuff begins to dodge the attack and attempts to grab the chain to try and get lightning to pass through it. If it work, she pulls on the chain to try to get Demo to be sent flying and attempts to shoulder-bash him to the ground !

I'll bring you back, no matter what !

—

Yeah, not sure about that ! says Stark, making moves to dodge the vortex, though it prevents him from riposting.

The predatory shine in her eyes is his only warning that he may have signed his own death warrant. Even as his staff strikes her in the stomach, Wriggle doubles over and vomits... a blast of pale liquid, noxious-smelling and sticky as glue. This liquid, similar in composition to the secretions Nasutitermes termites use to defend themselves against attackers, is difficult to dodge at point blank range and presents a heavy risk of completely and utterly crippling the angel's movements.

If this tactic succeeds, before the angel can fall from the weight of his glue-coated wings, Wriggle will catch him with both scimitars as they close on him like an antlion's jaws, with the force of a bear trap.

Seeing as he wasn't being targeted, Pietro dashes towards Argo, conjures up a Chaos Magic replica of Captain America's shield, and attempts to hit him with a Shield Bash before following up with a thrust kick.

Gold Mario dodges the thunderbolt.

K!Bowser appears to have been trophified (i.e. killed).

Mario nudges him over to Bowser Jr. to get him out of the way of the battle, assuming things are going to keep up as they have been.

Dark Pit grunts as he's covered in the glue-like stuff, also making a hilarious exclamation of disgust. He uses his staff like a bar to stop the pincer attack.

"LIGHTWEIGHT!"

There's a brief flash of divine energy from Dark Pit as he yanks his staff free and suddenly takes off like a missile, strafing circles around Wriggle while barraging her with dash shots before closing in for another attempt at a melee combo.

Divine Power: Lightweight - Temporarily makes you faster than Super Speed while also making you immune to exhaustion, but also increases your overall susceptibility to damage.

   "Don't just assume I'm done."   , the biker says, now riding back in a straight line to make the formed vortex follow behind him. He drives onto the tree trunks and turns around swiftly, chucking his sword-carryign arm forward to send the vortex hurling towards Iron Man.

As the vortex is moving, he sheathes his sword and presses buttons on his watch.

   "Let's give him a taste of Shinui's AMSW."   , he thinks to himself.

Iron Man's suit might be able to pick up on soundwaves coming from the biker's watch, and as soon as the waves reach the vortex, it starts to swerve and track in ways a regular attack cannot, trying to get to Iron Man. He'll likely be fast enough to stay ahead, but if that vortex keeps chasing him, one attack from the biker might hit him into it and deal massive damage to his suit.

Neuff's attack is successful, but fails to actually damage Demo, who chuckles darkly as he throws up his end of the chain in time to redirect the lightning up in the air, meaning that Neuff's pulling the other blade right towards her.

Regardless of how that goes, he then rushes towards her, attempting to deliver a powerful punch. However, notably, after Neuff speaks up, Demo suddenly seems to pause and blink. Only for a brief moment, but it interrupts his attack, allowing Neuff a free counterattack.

Argo immediately splits into two, with one of them being bashed and then kicked backwards, and the other one suddenly leaping towards Pietro, trying to bite him. Pietro'll have to use as much speed as he can whip up in a moment to dodge, because Argo's teeth are coated in light green - he's trying to poison him!

   "But... HOW?!"    Wriggle exclaims, shocked that her foolproof combination was foiled somehow.    "Nnnnngh... no matter! Let's see how you fare... against THIS!"    She pulls a card out of her pocket and it disintegrates in her hand.

   "Lair of the Beast [Antlion Vortex]!"   

Curving lines of golden energy bolts, spawning in the air around and spiraling inward towards Wriggle, cover the airspace, dramatically restraining Dark Pit's aerial movement and forming a vortex-shaped maelstorm of bullets. This also creates a mild suction effect that slowly pulls Dark Pit towards Wriggle. As these lines of bullets move inward, Dark Pit also has to simultaneously deal with sprays of similar golden projectiles fired by Wriggle directly at him.

Edited by Arachnos on Feb 22nd 2019 at 4:33:22 AM

Iron Man continues dodging but decide to drop the defensive and several missiles launchers appears on his back, with him swerving around as he attempts to pepper the biker with attacks.

He also creates new boosters on the suit's back and hands...

—

Neuff is actually hit but being a sister, it seems to surprise her instead of really hurting her. She looks kind of sad as she attempts to hit Demo with a strong left hook, before attempting to keep her advantage going, lightning striking as Neuff goes for a beatdown, keeping the blade in her chest.

"Ah, shit, I almost forgot he could clone himself..."

Not exactly in the mood to be poisoned, Pietro quickly conjures up a Chaos Riot Shield for the second Argo to bite instead before trying to fling him aside.

   "Now I'm starting to remember just how creepy you used to be, so thanks for that!"   

Shifting his attention to who he assumed was the primary Argo, he proceeds to lob a couple of Chaos Grenades at his opponent.
