Trellis disperses his bubble as he attempts to swat Schezo down mid-kick with a tendril of magic.

Dark Pit shakes his head in disgust at the Ginyu Force. Then he turns back to the man in the crater.
"My name is Dark Pit. Now that we've introduced ourselves, it's your turn. Wouldn't you agree?"

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Red's bulk just barely misses Mystia, but the realization that the beast was capable of moving at this speed all along, and just as they were so close to the exit, definitely crushes her spirit all over again, causing the Fear effect to strike true. Flightless once again, she scrambles towards the exit even as she fully expects Red to catch up and finish what he started.
44/50 meters
Tarboy, on the other hand, is well and truly entrapped. He attempts to turn his body to amorphous tar in an attempt to free himself. If Red has not suppressed his power, he should be able to keep moving, reaching 39 meters. Otherwise, he will remain trapped. He was seemingly able to resist the Fear effect, perhaps his collective mind has something to do with that.
Trellis staggers back across the floor. The shockwave makes his knees buckle.
The floor then collapses, dropping the elf prince and the dark mage down to the ground level of the library.
"Idiot," Trellis scoffs while pulling himself up. He fires a large blast of magic at Schezo.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."ARAIDO SPESHORU ! he says, creating and stabbing a dark rune upon the ground, with dark bolts of magic seeping forth. If he's hit, Trellis will be sucked into the rune and trapped inside a pocket dimension, where Schezo will barrage him with numerous repeated bursts of Areiado blades before shattering the rune with a final strike, releasing him.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterTrellis gasps yet again as he gets sucked into the rune and sliced up by dark blades. The violent ejection sends him flying into a bookshelf, knocking it over - and starting a domino chain.
The entire library building starts to tremble.
From down on the floor, Trellis growls, "ergh... You... What have you done?!"
He starts to create another shield around himself.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."The entire library falls on the mages' heads.
...
The dust has settled. All is quiet.
Trellis emerges from the rubble, kept safe by his shield.
"Well... I suppose that's Schezo taken care of."
He wanders through the ruin, checking to see if there's anything important he might not notice once the Arena repairs the damage.
And he notices a strange thing.
A glowing blue chunk of beryl, perfectly cut, radiating power.
Take it.
"!"
That stone's power could dwarf even yours if you accepted my aid. Take it. Take it and fulfill your desires!
"I-"
Take it take it take it take it take it!
"SILENCE!" Trellis punts the blue Chaos Emerald away before collapsing from his injuries.
It happens to clatter to the ground near where Schezo ought to emerge from the rubble...

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."MINE ! he says, leaping out and grabbing the stone. He looks damaged by the fight but still look upon the stone in joy, seemingly forgetting about the debris sticking out of his hair.
Hahaha yes, this thingy will satisfy me more than yours ever could !

Leona looks up at the clash before darting off; She avoids crushing so closely that she's able to assist Tarboy's escape, both of them reaching
39/50
Yeah, that.
Bandana Doo fires a small shot of BEAM at Captain Falcon, but not to harm him; It instead imbues him with the ZAP Friend Ability, making his punch that much more powerful. He then dashes riiight out of RED's range, but can't move much beyond that due to lack of paying attention.
36/50
The ZAP-imbued Falcon Punch staggers RED a great deal, him landing on his feet and crushing Tarboy and Captain Falcon before falling backwards, freeing them almost as soon as they were crushed.
However, the augment vanishes as quickly as it appears, for Bandana Doo hasn't quite perfect the whole "Friend sharing" thing.
RED is stunned! Quick, to the exit!
Sylvalum
Ginyu: "That would be correct!"
The rest of the Force nods in unison, them now standing in a five-point formation; Ginyu in front, the shorter members by his side, the taller ones standing behind.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"Upon seeing Red collapse to the ground with a great thud as he is struck by the Captain's tremendous punch, Mystia receives a boost of hope and quickly covers the last remaining meters to the portal. Tarboy, crushed by Red's massive bulk, is unable to get moving quickly enough, but if the rules of the chase are upheld, none of this should matter anymore, as...
50/50 meters
Mystia has reached the exit!
Land Of RED: Ground Chase
Leona grabs Bandana Doo and bolts.

RED has Tarboy in his grasp, ready to cheat again, and claim his first victim, when Solomon's Spirit appears once again.
Solomon: "Hello there."
Tarboy is warped to the exit, which starts moving towards the fighters; It forcefully swallows Marie, Leona, and Bandana Doo, leaving RED, Solomon, and Captain Falcon.
Solomon floats down to Captain Falcon.
Solomon: "Run."
Solomon will follow Captain Falcon as he moves until they through the portal, which is still moving closer due to his influence.
"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"Captain Falcon leaps up and jumps into the portal.
As each one exits the vortex, its hue on all sides (Dark Realm entrance, internal exit, and exit on the side it leads to) edges a little more into the blue spectrum. With the last fighter safely on the other side of RED's pocket dimension, the vortex in both the Dark Realm and this new pocket dimension has fully changed colors to a bright aqua blue, and has begun to spin clockwise.
The Dark Realm, Sacred Land
The vortex is now safe for instant transit.
An enraged rumble becomes audible throughout the Dark Realm.
The runners now find themselves in a land completely blanketed in fog.
The first step into the unknown causes the fog to suddenly blow away, revealing a landmass shaped like a giant triangle made of other triangles. The top area and the space in the middle are still shrouded by fog, but the bottom two are both cleared away, revealing a small town with a plaza ringed by torches and a forest still filled with mist, but not nearly as dense as the fog covering the rest of the land.
◊
For the record, they're on the east end in a miniature ravine-like path, near an owl statue. You can see a bright purple-and-white dot around the tip of the east triangle on the map - that's the vortex.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Sacred Land
Bandana Doo does the cutest victory dance ever.
Leona sits, breaking the cold military facade to let out a shaky sigh of relief; she was afraid the whole time, both of RED and the darkness letting out the Riot; No matter what side Orochi is on, she's afraid of what it might do to her.
Solomon laughs a hearty laugh, like if someone fed the Troll.
Solomon: "We won't be seeing him for a while! Sayonara!"
He calms down and addresses the group.
Solomon: "So, I'm Solomon, Kaiju, former associate of Tiki mask back there, and STILL THE BEST! And I've come to realize that I'm not exactly material, and that I can boost the power of other fighters. So, uh, who wants it, I guess?"
Wow, he's talkative.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"Mystia breathes heavily as she practically collapses to the ground, still trying to recover from both the physical and mental strain of escaping Red.
"I should probably question why you would ally yourself with such a crime against nature in the first place, but you know what, whatever. You saved us twice back there, so we owe you our thanks. I really would not have enjoyed becoming food for that thing. As for who you should empower further, I suppose the answer to that question lies in the type of powers you can grant us."

"Tch. This is taking too long for my liking." Dark Pit stands back from the conversation.
Captain Falcon shudders as he breathes in and out, but he looks like he's never felt more alive.
After Mystia's inquiry, he slings Marie over his shoulder and gives Solomon an inquiring look.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

He glances at the holes but seems unaffected by their sight, instead going for a... kick, of all things;
DRILL KICK

Marie sees everything coming and pick up the pace, small marks appearing over her legs.
