Majima ducks forward. "Whup!"
He turns around and puts a hand over his chest. "Beating kids over the head - that's a jerk move. My touch is a gentle one."
He then tries to dislocate Claus' knee with a kick.

Giygas begins building up power.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Knowing just how lethal this Final Smash would be if it hit Pietro, Thor opts to meet Areui's charge head-on, an Asgardian battle cry escaping his throat as he clutches the now-sparking Mjolnir with both hands and aims a mighty, momentum-enhanced swing at the oncoming angel.
Regardless of how effective the god of thunder's counterattack proves to be, the ensuing impact results in both a truly massive shockwave and an explosion of fire and lightning that's nothing short of visually spectacular.
"Pot calling the kettle black, much?"
Pietro throws a one-two punch at the currently trapped Claus, followed by a thrust kick.

Heaven's Bow
Edea would smile, using her spell fencer subclass to cast Firaga on her sword. She'd then suddenly turn around, Using a brave point, To rush at the newcoming foe out of the way of the new attak. "You know what, Someone else handle the child, We've got bigger problems!"
Meanwhile, Fiora would be building up tension, But would simply go in for a basic combo of slashes at Claus. Her blades would be the same metal as her cybernetics. Nothing much else to say. She'd shout furiously as she does this.

Claus is just fast enough to have some of that mysterious energy cover his knee, chest and back. It looks like it has defensive properties, because it allows Claus to take Majima's, Fiora's and Pietro's attack with only a flinch and a grunt of pain.
Majima, Fiora and Pietro, however, upon coming into contact with the energy, should feel physically ill for a few seconds, and Claus tries to take advantage of that moment to bombard them with PK Love, dispelling the mysterious energy to do so.
Regardless of how that goes, Lucas then charges towards Claus, his Franklin Badge protecting him from the lightning, and rams him to the ground with his head.
"OW! Ow, that hurt!", Lucas says, holding his head.
"No s***!" , Claus replies, rubbing his cheek, where he was hit, and he hops back up, responding by punching Lucas in the face.
Not with powers, or a hidden blade or anything, just a simple punch, one not even strong enough to knock Lucas to the ground, but still strong enough for it to hurt.
Areui's attack connects with Thor's, and the two will briefly be in a struggle of what appears to be equal strength before the shockwave and explosion occur, sending Areui falling downwards.
Iris' Spirit then glows though, and Areui's burnt wings heal completely, the recoil of his Final Smash being nullified.
He turns in midair and is about to launch an attack on Thor, only to get assaulted by the Masked Man, who's swinging his sword wildly at Areui, while the angel backs off, his mobility in the air greater than the Masked Man's because Areui can naturally fly.
Areui starts spinning around fast, turning into a pseudo whirlwind that sends sharp feathers all around, threatening to hit all airborne enemies. The masked Man uses his arms to shield himself, though the feathers make some deep scratches in even his metal parts, while drawing blood from his biological parts in the places they hit.
Ninten tries to help out here, casting Defense Up on Thor before he has a chance to get hit, just in case he does get hit.
Masc, meanwhile, looks like he's focusing, eyes closed. But on what?
Due to still being in the air, Areui subsequently avoids Edea's attack.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Giygas spreads his arms out, points a single clawed finger at each enemy, and fires a PK Beam Ω at both of them.
—
Majima staggers back as he is bombarded by PK Love. He pauses for a second. He looks at the scene in confusion.
Then he looks around, shrugs, rips his entire jacket off in one clean flourish, and draws his knife again. "Ikuzo!"
The Mad Dog lives up to his moniker by jumping at Claus while screaming like a maniac, trying to body slam him.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."AIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ! yells Arthur, descending from the heavens above, attempting to slam into Areui with great force, Killer Axe at the ready.
O-oh ! You're pretty strong, prince Garon !
Aye, thanks.
Having followed the way to the party, three sheperds emerge : Arthur, Cynthia and Garon.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterThor begins spinning Mjolnir in front of himself to deflect the oncoming razor feathers. While some feathers do manage to leave cuts and gashes on him, as well as elicit a pained growl from the blonde-haired Asgardian, Ninten's Defense Up prevents these wounds from being as grievous as they'd normally be.
"Enough! I'm putting an end to this bloody madness!"
With that, he raises his legendary hammer above his head before sending an absolutely enormous blast of lightning arcing through the air towards Areui.
That brief instance of what at least felt like some kind of illness leaves Pietro open to the PK Love, which staggers the silver-haired speedster.
"Okay... I'm starting to feel like there's a lot about this Ken Tahn punk you might've left out, Thor!"
He dashes towards Claus in a zig-zag pattern in the hopes of confusing or disorienting him, then attempts to deliver a high speed kick right where it hurts.
Flying and Counters and Clusterfucks oh my
Edea would Start swearing profusely, Putting her sword away. "God damn flying Fucking bitch mother fucker! Flying, Of FUCKING course." She'd Swap out equipment, Taking out what looks like an intricate Bolt action rifle. She'd take aim now. Her skills chosen would allow her to use this at full proficiency.
Fiora would feel woozy all right, her attack would be interrupted. But, on the flipside, Fiora opts out of attacking in this situation to reply with, as she shouts out the name, "ETHER DRAIN!" This attack would debuff Foes magical attack capabilities, while buffing her own. This would make the hit a lot less deadly, but she'd still take a good hit.
Majima's screaming actually frightens both Claus and Lucas, the latter of which stumbles back and falls over because of it.
Claus, on the other hand, brings up a PSI Shield to try to protect himself. It barely holds out against the body slam, but PK Beam breaks through it with ease.
He gets back up, ready to keep fighting. But then Pietro's attack hits him, and he falls down with a soft, painful shriek.
"T... that's... cheating..." , he whimpers.
The scene turns serious again immediately though, because Claus's aura... well, it's Final Smash time again.
Grinning weakly due to still being in pain, he quickly raises his hand before anyone can stop him.
"P... PK..."
The skies turn dark.
"Starstorm!!!"
PK Starstorm descends from the heavens above, the powerful psychic attack targeting everyone save for Claus himself. Ninten, noticing that Masc is still focusing, heads over to him and casts a Power Shield above the two of them.
Lucas starts to float using telekinesis, still unaware of his Metatron's abilities, or even what it is at all, only knowing he can somehow make a spike appear on his arm, and does his best to dodge the huge blasts.
Thanks to Arthur's loud entrance, Areui notices him coming from the skies above, but is slammed down regardless. This does make PK Beam and Thor's lightning miss though.
Areui hits the ground, but gets back up easily, even though he's bleeding from his head a little now, seeing as he got hit by an axe.
Then he gets hit by a blast from Starstorm though and gets punted on the ground, face-first. Getting back up, furious, he then starts glowing too, his Final Smash appearing yet again, and the moment Starstorm is over, he uses Heaven's Arrow, launching himself towards Claus, who isn't in much of a state to move right now.
And while that normally would be an easy victory, Heaven's Arrow might actually be powerful enough to outright kill Claus instead of defeat and free him...

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."Oh what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fU-" Majima's profanity is cut short as he leaps to avoid a Starstorm meteor that hits the ground behind him and explodes.
Giygas looks at Areui. Dammit, you all owe me for this! He teleports in front of the Heavenly Arrow, taking the hit, and gets sent flying, carving a scar through the ground as he skids to a stop.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Cynthia spots Claus in danger and rush forth, to the best of her speed. She even activates Galeforce, greatly increasing her speed (to the point of making after-images appear behind her) in an attempt to snatch the spirit out of the final smash's path. Enemy or not, she knows that he could die and thus be lost.
However, even if she succeed, she has to let go and is unable to attack, being tired to heck.
Garon just start jogging after her, completely uncaring of the chaos around him. He doesn't react to the Final Smash or Majima's seeming-sacrifice with anything more than " "ooh".
Arthur, meanwhile, is still stuck in the ground.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterAs Mjolnir sparks and crackles with lightning, Thor launches himself straight into the air like a goddamn missile before swooping towards Areui, taking his hammer in a two-handed grip, and attempting to bring it down hard on the angel with a fierce yell, putting all of his weight behind the blow.
"Yeah, says the- crap!"
Pietro begins darting about left and right to evade the PK Starstorm as best he can. That is, until the meteor that Majima dodged explodes, lifting the silver-haired speedster off his feet and sending him sprawling.
"Jesus... If this little shit weren't a Spirit, I'd be very tempted to throttle him, alternate Ninten or not..."

As the starstorm is essentially centred around claus, Fiora would take the full brunt of the attack Bombarding the battlefield. The incoming projectiles from the sky would tear her appart, Leaving her at near death. But fiora would be at her most motivated, and would refuse to go down without doing anything of use. "Everyone, get behind me!" With that out of the way, Fiora would position herself to trap both Areuri and Claus in an attack which she's Charing... A red trinangle on her chest would begin to glow.
Edea would listen to fioras advice after surviving the starstorm, Taking a potshot at lucas as she moves. "This fight's been really annoying, you know!"
Giygas' noble deed doesn't fully stop Heaven's Arrow, but it does slow it down and weaken it a little, allowing Cynthia to snag Claus away right on time as Areui ends up hitting the ground, with Claus dodging the potshot in the process. He gets back up again, growling and turning to Giygas. Seems like this angel holds grudges.
He puts his left hand on the ground and his tattoo starts to grow, slither off of his arm, and head towards Giygas, attempting to grab him by his tail so that it can pull him to Areui and into range of a follow up attack.
Ninten, however, using the 4th-D Slip to get to Giygas in an instant, slams his bat down against the tattoos, making them shudder and retreat to Areui.
"This fight's crazy. How is this guy getting so many super attacks?", Ninten mutters.
Claus would be grateful to Cynthia for saving him under normal circumstances. Hell, maybe even Tahn would be. But they're both possessed, and as such Claus is about to try to stab Cynthia's pegasus in the thigh.
It doesn't come to that though, because Masc unleashes what he had been building up. He casts a powerful illusion over both Areui and Claus, with the latter gasping and stopping his attack, almost dropping his knife in the process.
Areui, stuck in his illusion, then gets hit dead-on by Thor's charging hammer bash, sent flying so far that he almost falls off of the cloudy battlefield. He hits the ground hard and doesn't immediately get up. But his Galeem aura isn't dispelling yet, which means he's not down just yet.
Due to both Claus and Areui being taken away from their position, they're not trapped by Fiora. However, both are in a state in which they're unlikely to immediately move. If Fiora can close the distance towards either of them, her next attack is very likely to hit.

I just gotta remember which side is the one that kills.
Milord, even the... blunt side of the axe may be painful for them.
Oh... well. Still gotta try.
He quicken his pace once more and drag Bölverk with him, with the axe carving a deep line unto the ground. Meanwhile, Cynthia is still tired out but able to recover.
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterAiming readjustments
Fiora would run over to now face Areiu, or however you spell it, With her attack's charge being completed. Fiora would smile as The red energy begins to spark around her... And then a massive cone of red energy would be released, headed straight for her target. This attak is known as Final cross. It hits hard, It hits four times, and if it hits, the foe is toppled over. This is Fiora's ultimate attack aside from her talent arts. She'd finally yell the name. "I'm not going down without taking at least one of these bastards with me! FINAL CROSS!"
Edea, in the meanwhile, Would bolt her rifle and fire another shot at Claus, with her bullet currently being enhanced with the Wind element. "Just die already!"
Thor lands just near where Areui had been sent flying, approaches the downed angel, and immediately attempts to just straight-up whack him in the face with Mjolnir, not wanting to risk the possibility of him getting off yet another Final Smash. Regardless of whether or not his blow connects, the shirtless, burned, and wounded Asgardian warrior prince lets out a long, heavy sigh of exhaustion.
"By Odin's beard..."
Once he's had a moment to climb back to his feet, Pietro dashes towards Claus and attempts to pummel him with a series of high-speed punches.
"Lucas, Ninten, um... other Claus... no offense, but for a bunch of little kids, you can sure be a massive pain in the neck! I think that says a lot about either you guys, your world, or both..."
Edited by IchigoMontoya on Jul 8th 2019 at 4:38:03 AM
Areui is already kinda toppled over, so that doesn't really matter. Still, Fiora's attack does hit him, as does Thor's Mjolnir whack afterwards, the two attacks knocking him to the side some more, now looking seriously wounded and not getting up yet.
Adding to that is the Masked Man, who, as ruthless as ever, strikes at Areui with a powerful PK Thunder despite his wounds.
And still Galeem's aura persists, so that was probably the right move to do.
Claus falls off of Cynthia, and is woken up from his illusion by the sudden knife that lands in his shoulder. He winces, but doesn't scream. He doesn't pull it out either. Tahn knows better than to pull a knife out of a deep wound. He learnt not to do that from experience.
Trying to do his best to focus, he catches the fired bullet with telekinesis and launches it back, though it's aiming for Giygas instead of Edea, as Claus notices that Giygas is planning something. Luckily Ninten comes through again, using a Power Shield to block the bullet so that Giygas doesn't get interrupted.
Claus is then about to try to dodge Pietro's assault, but is suddenly struck by Lucas' PSI Paralysis, stopping his movements long enough to bear the full brunt of Pietro's attacks, ending up on the ground.
With the illusion broken, Masc needs a moment to breathe.
When paralysis wears off, Claus growls and slowly gets back up again, coughing up some blood.
"Y... y'think you got me down? Y'think I'm scared... just because you're bigger than me?"
He shakily holds on to his knife as that dark energy now surrounds it.
"I'm gonna... I'm gonna kill all of you... or die trying."
He unleashes a bolt of PK Thunder around him, the attack spiraling, and then leaps towards Lucas, trying to stab him in the chest. Lucas, in a panic from the sudden movement, raises his arms to protect himself.
Which allows that Metatron spike to emerge from his arm again, blocking Claus' knife, to Claus' surprise, and to Masc's as well.
"Huh!? Pietro, I thought you gave him some kinda serum or something to get rid of his Metatron!", he calls out, really confused.
Lucas, upon realizing the attack was blocked, lowers his arm and looks at it, then looks freaked out.
"AH! N-not THIS again! What IS this stuff!?"
Claus, seeing a chance, now tries to sink his knife into Lucas' neck.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Giygas turns into wallpaper again. Interestingly, he seems unable to expand into Galeem and Dharkon's fields of control, as his form is limited to a dome around the immediate battle.
"WHY"
You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack!
Edited by KiriK on Jul 8th 2019 at 6:44:53 AM
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Cynthia tries to save Lucas but Garon has a shorter range to deal with, and he attempts to punch Claus in the face. If it work, he then attempt to punch him once more.
Hey, stop. he asks, calmly enough. Arthur seems shocked but rush to side with Lucas. When Gigyas appears, he's pretty horrified, and even Garon looks pretty worried.
Cynthia, for her part, is not, and raise her spear, intend to fight on !
Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitter"How... the Hel... is that blasted aura still not gone?"
Gripping Mjolnir tightly with both hands, Thor attempts to bring the hammer down hard on Areui's goddamn head with all of his Asgardian might.
"I did!"
Pietro immediately darts towards Claus, then attempts to deliver a momentum-enhanced kick right to his face.
Fiora Down!
Fiora, depleted of energy, would go down, dead.
In the meanwhile, edea would simply default, planning something out, Trying not to, you know, get killed in the ensuing clusterfuck.
Frontier Village
Chris would look up towards thranix, smiling. He'd be sipping a cup of a strange brown substance. Due to the humid environment which surrounds Frontier village, and the ammounts of rainfall being reasonable in this part of the arena, the plants necessary to create chocolate would likely be available in this reason, and seeing as the nopon would have access to sugar due to knowing what sweets are like, The logical conclusion is yes, Chris is drinking hot chocolate, and that makes sense. Chris, after taking said sip, Would say "Mornin Thranix. Or whatever time it is. I already paid for some food." He'd then note the changes to his equipment and his face. "What the hell were you up to when I was asleep?"
Meanwhile, Geralt would get the run down of last night from riki. Riki would finish off by saying "Scar Man's Friends are in inn. Riki go in inn with you. And strange contractferret." Otto, the strange kyubey, would not communicate yet, Just going in the inn with Riki and geralt.

SI Gang
Dylan looks over to his book, a rather quaint looking tome with crossing fists on the cover.
Dylan: "Thanks? Looks interesting enough."
He picked it up, feeling the power emanating off of it and nodding with approval.
Dylan: "Sweeeeeeeeet."
"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"

Claus gets caught, but right before Majima is about to hit him some strange energy appears in front of Claus, close enough that Pietro and Majima may have to close their eyes.
Regardless of whether they do, only a moment afterwards Claus is suddenly gone.
"Not the most moral person around, are ya? Anyone okay with hitting kids with a baseball bat is probably a total jerk." , Claus says, now standing right behind Majima and about to try to stab him in the back of his shoulder.
Masc intervenes though, trapping Claus' foot with a puddle of tane fuel. It won't last for long, but it'll last long enough that Majima can escape the attack.
Giygas' PK Freeze protects him successfully.
Areui gets ready to fight back against Thor. In a very brief moment though, Iris appears very impressed by Thor's physique. Even possession can't stop her enthusiasm for Thor's looks it seems.
This doesn't stop Areui from fighting though, as the tatoos on his left arm swerve around both of his arms, acting as protective gear, and he raises said arms to intercept Mjolnir. He gets bashed and send down quite a bit, but he doesn't appear to be very damaged.
Lucas senses Eada's panic and turns to her.
"Don't worry, miss! I'm sure we can win this, but we all gotta cooperate with each other! If we do so, nothing they can throw at us can stop us, I'm sure of it!"
Enemy: Sudden Final Smash
Areui's aura turns colorful, and a sharp sound emits from him. Lucas stares at him.
"... is that..."
"Look out, Final Smash incoming!", Ninten yells.
"What!? But Thor hit him once!", the Masked Man says, swinging his sword to hit Areui with a bolt of lightning. It doesn't stop the angel from unleashing his Final Smash though.
He changes his position in midair, now looking like he's flying right at Thor, but in reality floats in place. His wings extend and catch on fire as holy energy surrounds them, forming into the shape of a bow. Areui himself glows as energy surrounds him as well, becoming something like a life sized arrow.
"Heaven's Bow!", he calls out with an ethereal voice, after which he fires himself right at Thor. If the attack connects, Thor will receive a ton of damage.
If Thor dodges though, Areui will continue on his path, headed downwards and threatening to hit Pietro instead. And if this attack can seriously hurt Thor, who knows what it would do to Pietro.
