Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Rin jumps up in fright, turning around in midair. "Don't startle me like that!"

She throws up her hands in exasperation. "You know what, I'm leaving," she says. "Have fun."

Hey, come on, I was joking ! says Nanza, seemingly remorseful. Vivenette looks away, attempting to look more mature than her

Rin doesn't stick around... but she does stick her tongue out at Nanza. She then jumps up and summons her hoverboard.

"See you around, I guess."

Then she flies off.

Nanza sighs, smile, and wave away at her. So does Viv.

Then they promptly fight as soon as she's out of sight.

Hub Centralis, Cafe Leblanc

A certain cafe from japan would be at a corner in hub centralis, Having a rather busy day. Sojiro, the owner of the establishment, wouldn't currently be in the arena, So Ren Amamiya (Joker) And Yusuke would be manning the shop together, serving customers. The scent of fine coffee and delicious pastries would waft through the air. The leblanc cafe would be much bigger than usual, as of it's presence in the arena. Shulk would enter the cafe, Followed by A little girl and her tall, shadowy aquaintance, and a Blonde Hotheaded explorer. Shulk would take a seat seperate from the rest, Ordering a pot of tea, while the others decide on their orders.

Doppio's at the café, alongside Peri and Oboro. Peri's long since drank her strawberry juice, and is not bothering Oboro, who stays stoically hateful.

Cafe Leblanc

Shulk would notice doppio after having the pot of tea delivered, Bringint it over to sit near them, smiling. He'd speak up. "Doppio! Long time no see. Nice job back in that fight, I think... I don't remember much of it, but I do remember you doing well! It's like you also saw the future. I thought I was the only one who did that."

Joker, in the meanwhile, would look over to doppio, currently in a civilian outfit, wearing glasses, saying    "Would you like anything else? or... anything in general? sorry, It's been a wild day today. Not many people came here back at home."    Yusuke would be looking at a painting hanging up on the wall in the meanwhile, As the other group gets some Hot chocolate. The tall black figure with the little girl would stand up and go to the corner, playing the piano, as the Blonde Adventurer goes over to the area where doppio's group is. The tall figure would possibly be seen as a stand, due to definitely not being human, and definitely having some supernatural status.

He jump out of his seat a little when noticed but calm down and sighs calmly upon being told.

O-O-Oh... I didn't do much... it's good to see that you're well ? he says, scratching his ear. Peri, meanwhile, look at everyone involved.

Ohohoh, that's a lot of people ! We could do a game afterwards !

..... Hey... I'm... Oboro from.... Hoshido....

Hotel Del Rey

Tiamat decided that moving was rather boring while she was bound to the spirit that allowed her to teleport, so she decided to move the group to the room, rather than do all that troublesome legwork.

"Ah, the joys of teleportation..."

"HURGK— Ah. Never gonna get used to that," Omega said, before dispelling his Stand and taking a seat on a couch."

Megan finally managed to pound the hatch open, producing a loud clanging noise. The mech went still for a moment, as its internal systems got tangled between an open access hatch, attempting to flee, and attempting to fight, and Megan took to opportunity to crawl inside, but not before saying, "I'm going in. Keep it still, if you can."

It was incredibly cramped, with barely enough room to move, but she eventually crawled her way down towards the piloting chamber at its center, only to find... Someone◊ in a very strange-looking Mobile Trace Suit.

"... Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my mech?"

"P-please don't hurt me, miss! I-I'm Rho, and I.. uhh... I tripped over the railing and... fell in while you had the cockpit open."

Megan's face was stuck between furious, confused, and trying to suppress a laugh, as she reached over to flick the switch back to manual.

Thranix stood up and cleared away the remnants of food from his table. He might have been a heavily-armored dragonman, but he was no savage.

"I suppose that makes us a party, then. We'll meet you at the entrance of the village, Riki. Take your time."

—

The Bounty Board — Frontier Village

Thranix stood, looking over the missives and requests, fascinated by the way that they appeared and disappeared seemingly at random. He started to speak, only to jump back when a rather... imposing missive slammed itself on to the board, causing the entire thing to shake. It read as follows:

Warriors, Travelers, Allies and Enemies from countless realms apart—

I, known to you as Iraaxos the Crimson, request your aid. I know many of you seek to slay me for good, and that few would call yourself my ally, but I humbly ask for your aid all the same. I do not have the strength to do this on my own. Recently, I have begun to detect the start of an incoming Realmfracture phenomena — this occurs when powerful entities are forced out of their original teleportation or planeshift route, and end up elsewhere. The epicenter seems to be over an island on the eastern interior sea of this land, this Arena.

If you would aid me in preventing a possible catastrophe, then I ask that you come to the western shore of the jungled lands. I can take those who arrive the rest of way. In exchange, you shall receive my respect, a portion of my treasure, and whatever you find along the way. If we must slay whatever enters this realm, you may keep what you like from that as well.

If any of you should attempt to slay me instead, I will vaporize you, scorch your homeland to ash, trample your legacy into the dust, and salt the earth where you fell. And Megan, if you see this — it is not an invitation for you to try. I am not above burning the land twice.

"Tiamat's breath, that is one hell of a tall order... Looks like it's all talking about the same thing though. I had a run in with this... 'Iraaxos' once before. He's by no means an honourable fighter, or a good person, but if he's desperate enough to reach out like this... then it's worth a shot. What do you all think?"

Edited by OmegaShadowcry on Jul 15th 2019 at 9:04:16 AM

Rey is similarly confused, but Rhea doesn't mind at all. He plops down on the couch while she walks up to the conveniently-located DVD/Blu-Ray player.

"Oh, right. Which version should we watch first: Original, or Nuclear?"

"I already saw the original version when I jumped back to Earth, but I dunno about you guys."

Domon pauses, and Burning Gundam stops applying pressure with him.

"... Rho?"

His confusion quickly turns to anger.

"Why the hell didn't you just sit still and send out a distress signal?!"

Cafe Leblanc

The Little girl would move to sit over by Oboro, smiling. "Nice to meet you, Oboro! My name's Alice. It's kinda crowded here, but the place is pretty nice. Deemo thinks so too, he's the one who reccomended we go here. What brought you here?"

The blonde adventurer would look over towards Peri and would speak up a bit. "Excuse me, I'm sorry if i'm bothering you, but have you Heard anything about the "Golden Lute", or it's location? My name's Cadence, if that matters."

Shulk In the meanwhile would chuckle a bit. "Yeah, I must've been knocked out cold during that fight though, Thought that attack I saw would kill me. But I'm still here, So it couldn't have. I'm glad to see you made it through better than I did. I bet your boss is proud of you, Doppio." Joker would grin towards doppio a bit.    "What do you even do as a job anyways? I won't judge if you say something illegal. I've been Japan's Most wanted for around a year before my criminal record was cleared once my identity was found out, along with the rest of the phantom thieves."    Yusuke would sigh, breaking his gaze from the painting to shoot joker a look. "Ren, It's rather rude to suggest that customers might be part of a criminal group."

The tall figure, Deemo, would still be playing the piano. Somehow music which shouldnt be coming from a piano is playing as well. If one could notice, Cadence's heart is beating perfectly in tune with the music, and she's making slight movements to the music as well.

Glacial Wastes

Bec Noir kept laughing at the entire situation, using his first guardian powers to keep an eye on what's happening inside the mecha.

   "This is so fucking stupid. I haven't had this much fun for ages!"    His voice telepathically chimed in inside of Megan's head.

O-Oh yeah, he was proud of me. And, huh... I... I never ever heard of you, and why would they just leave you walk away then ? I mean... that's pretty sketchy. says Doppio, not appreciating the attention. Oboro is more appreciative, though.

Team building, and this place looked nice... hm, it looks similar to my home but more... advanced ?

Haha, nope ! Or maybe I just forgot ! I forget a lot, especially instructions not to do things !

Cafe Leblanc, Joker's Social Fuckup

Joker sighs, realizing how crazy that just sounded.    "I challenged a god who was trying to end humanity's free will, and won. Still can't bring myself back to that level of power though, shame too. Sataniel was one of my cooler personas."    Yusuke Groans, Talking to Ren. "That was a one time thing. There's other reasons too, mostly because you didn't do most of those crimes. You should explain that at the very least before making the customer think's he's dealing with some godslaying terrorist, Ammamiya." Ren would sight.    "Yeah... The real reason was probably that the major crimes attributed to us were attempts to frame us, done by a certain traitor. Everyone has a weird story around here, we're far from the weirdest. Sorry if I bothered you, Doppio."   

Shulk would sigh. "So much for a calm conversation.Say, What happened after I passed out in the fight, or was there not much to worry about..." Shulk seems to want to get doppio's mind off of Whatever the fuck joker was just doing.

Meanwhile, Alice smiles at oboro, spinning in a counter seat. "Deemo and I tend to come to cafes a lot for the calm atmosphere. Sometimes I play the piano with Deemo's help if there's one. My parents have to drive deemo and I here though. My brother really used to like this kind of place before... Nevermind."

Cadence would sigh. "You probably haven't heard of it then. Sorry to bother you about that, and thank you... miss...?"

Doppio slowly nod to Joker, seemingly believing him to be lying or insane. He does know that he has a power, but certainly not a god-ending one.

We won, that's... all there is it to it, pretty much. Huh, lots of things happened with those flying things.

Oh, that's sweet... oh... well, what is a piano though ? What kind of musical instrument is that ? I'm not really interested in music but I find it agreeable, sometimes.

Miss what ? Did I miss something ? Or did you ?

Cafe Leblanc

Joker decides to just shut up as yusuke serves a few customers, both being rather busy now.

Shulk would look down after doppio mentioned "Those Flying things". "I've seen a lot fighting Galeem and dharkon, if that's what you mean by those flying things. Things I never thought were possible. But, It's unified people, at least, And it's given me the opportunity to fight alongside some interesting people." He'd sip some tea.

Alice would look over towards deemo, and deemo would stand up, presenting the piano to oboro. Cadence's heart would stop beating briefly and even more briefly adjust to a normal beat, Before deemo goes back to playing, now playing a different piece known as Suspenseful Third Day. Alice would explain the piano as deemo plays. "The piano is Both a string and a percussion instrument. When Hits a key, something inside of the piano strikes a string inside of it, playing a note. Deemo can make noises with the piano that other people can only do with other instruments, they're special. Pianos are conidered to be refined, a sign of status to some, and is very common in more refined music." She'd finish nerding off.

Cadence scratches the back of her head. "No, No, you didn't miss anything. Maybe I should just ask it without being formal. What's your name?" She'd say this to peri.

Frontier Village

Geralt would be shocked at the posting a bit, but he'd remain calm. "Well, that's one rough customer. But, we're not going to be burning down villages in there most likely, and the pay's more than good enough. I'll just have to agree despite the employer's attitude."

Chris would grin. "I'm in. I'm used to dealing with a rough crowd, so i'm not worried about the whole "Burning down my homeland" deal. Enough things try to do it already. All we need is a way over there."

Riki would spin a bit after he runs down from saying goodbye to his wife and children for now. "Riki take Job, Riki go crushpow on enemy, and riki come home hero of makna, and riki feed littlepons for years! Riki go risk life for oka and littlepons!"

Otto would just smugly grin. "And there's the holy grail of a task. Everything seems just about right to me. What are we waiting for?"

"I respect Toriyama. We should watch the original version first."

"i didn't get too yet..."

He doesn't react to the teleportation – maybe that was part of his training?

O-oh, yeah, they're unified but some seems to hate one another, I'm not going to be surprised if they fight one another after this is over.

Oboro does a side-glance at Peri, but observes. She seems surprised at the appearance of the piano and Deemo's appearance, but nod slowly.

This seems pretty cumbersome to carry around, even if it is a nice instrument !

Peri slowly drink her strawberry juice.

Peri !

In the depths of the forests of Falkreath Hold, a shadowy figure emerges from one of the Ancient Leshen's residual portals, quickly scanning the area to find her associate...

A similarly shadowy figure approaches the first, rustling with sounds of pulling skin and cracking joints.

Glacial Wastes

"... Would you believe me if I said that I don't know where the button is?"

Megan looked around for a moment, and then muttered, "... There's a distress signal...? What the shit?

If she had any reaction to Bec's... Bec-ness, she decided not to show it. She sighed, and spoke again.

"Do you know how to right it, now that it's off of automatic?"

"I-I think so."

From the outside, Domon, if he was still holding on, might feel the mech shudder, shakily, as it tried to make it's way back to a stable standing position.

"And Bec? Thank you, even if you didn't really do all that much — although I will add, your commentary has been... grating."

There was a grinding sense of irritation in Megan's voice — like she had worse she wanted to say, but refused to voice it.

"Let's go then. As long we don't try to kill him and he sticks to his word, we should all be good."

Thranix turned around, and, presumably in sync with the rest of the group, put his left foot forward, and angled himself accordingly, while still facing foreword.

"I feel that we are about to embark on a very... bizarre adventure.

—

[JUMPCUT!]

—

The group arrived at the western shore. The island was far, but easily in sight — along with the storm clouds that were brewing overhead. Something about the entire place seemed quietly eerie. In the shade of a mighty tree, leaning against the trunk, rested a draconic figure clad in dark robes. Leaning against the tree alongside him was a most unusual staff — perhaps it was simply some kind of spellcasting implement, or perhaps it was something more.

   "So... I see you've answered the call,"    Iraaxos said, aloof as ever.    "Very good. Is there anything you wish to discuss, or shall we depart immediately?"   

Thranix said nothing yet. He needed a moment to restrain his emotions, allowing others to speak if they so wished.

   "We are lucky,"    Farandare tells Ridley as soon as she sees him.    "This portal leads into a forest - presumably the home field of that creature the huntress called a 'Leshen' - where it should be easy to conceal your presence. I don't think it would be a very good idea for you to enter a populated area. After having located an outpost and spent some time lurking there, I have quickly come to the realization that the hunting of various beasts - dragons among them - is commonplace. And the presence of a speaking dragon is almost guaranteed to elicit confusion and possibly mass panic. We don't want that... YET. Now, if you do come upon some adventurers in the wild and want to have some fun, I won't stop you. Just make sure you are able to finish the job."   

Domon releases the mech and steps back.

Ridley smirks and simply replies,    "Of course."    This is an affirmation, agreement, and compliance all at once.

Thranix's Bizarre adventure, Intrigue

Geralt would shake his head. "I've seen all i needed to see. I'm ready to go. This isn't my first strange quest."

Riki would jump up and down. "Riki ready to gogo. Riki go! Riki See! Riki Crushpow! Riki ready!"

Otto would speak up. "What exactly is our main target... Please tell."

Chris would listen in to the rest of the group.

Cafe Leblanc

Shulk would smile, taking a sip of his tea. He'd speak up about doppio's doubts. "Some people are going to be at eachother's throats after all this is said and done, but I feel like this did make some permanent alliances. I know I've found a few people who I feel like I can trust." Shulk's eyes would briefly flash blue, and he'd grab yusuke's tray when he's bringing over a slice of cake a few cups of coffee, making sure he doesn't spill it on himself as he trips.

Alice would chuckle. "You don't move the piano around usually, deemo can summon one, but usually pianos are kept in one place. They take a good few people to move. Unless it's an electric keyboard. You usually won't see someone hauling around a piano place to place." Deemo would still be playing their piece, moving into the later parts of it.

Cadence would nod towards peri. "It's nice meeting you here, Peri. Sorry to bother you about the lute. It's a powerful artifact, and my mother and father both went missing trying to find it. I'm looking for it again. I almost got it, but then I was sent here."

   Now, that world doesn't seem to have magic in the same way as ours does, so mage robes would be... odd. Fortunately, from observing the huntress' battle getup, I had foreseen this and devised a solution.   

Bloodletter Queen

With a flourish, Farandare casts away her robes to reveal a full Dragonscale set with a pair of Dragonbone swords at her waist. An unearthly chill runs through the weapons.

   This allowed me to present myself in a less alien light to the locals, and with this and my natural charm and beauty, I was able to glean some information in regards to the creatures we're looking for if we want to create a weapon that will draw out the full potential of my overwhelming power. The names of two horse-like beasts came up with some regularity: Kirin, said to strike with the power of lightning, and Oroshi Kirin, a related creature that channels winter's chill. We are going to slay some and tear their horns off. Not necessarily in that order.    She seems to be relishing the prospect a little too much.
