Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Thranix's Bizzare adventure

Riki would look towards Iraaxos, smiling. "Riki ready for anything! Riki is jack of all trades, but not master of none. Riki good at all jobs! Riki is ready for any foe!"

Geralt would note what Iraaxos has said, before talking. "I have a selection of oils ready incase we encounter anything nasty. But otherwise, I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Witchers are trained to be ready for anything. If they aren't, they don't last nearly as long as I do."

Chris, in the meanwhile, would look to his kevlar, smiling. A rather balanced armor, resistant to gunfire, slashes, and fire. It doesn't offer any notable protection against electricity or cold, Overall, good. He'd look through his selection of demons, smiling, then he'd look back to the group. "I'm ready to get things done... mostly. Just don't be surprised If I decide to talk it out with some of these things.."

Otto would look towards iraaxos, tilting it's head. "Is this perhaps like a witch's Labrynth?"

Cafe Leblanc

The strange man in the red hat begins to speak to doppio, Smiling. "It's been a while, hasn't it. Too long."

Alice would nod. "Simple enough once you get to know what electricity is!"

Cadence would nod. "Well, There's more to life than weapons. At least, when you aren't fighting."

Intrigue, Thranix's Bizzare Adventure

Iraaxos paused.    "I do not believe I had heard this term before, but... it seems to be a relatively simple — if ornate — stone ruin. Possibly some kind of former mage's sanctum, but I do not feel that the word 'labyrinth' would describe it well. And Chris, you may certainly do so — as long as they do not attempt to interrupt my work of repairing the fracture they leave behind. The closer we get, the better I can get a feel for what's on the other side."   

Thranix peaked up to the canopy. The light suggested early-midday, even through the stormclouds. "Should I scout out above the treeline?"

   "Normally, I would do that myself, but my wings recently sustained some... remarkable damage. Keep an eye out for a path through the mountains, if you would."   

"Understood."

Thranix unfurled his wings, and found a thinner spot of canopy to fly up through, leaving the rest of the group to themselves for a moment while he looked around.

Galeem begins panicking internally as he realizes the fighters have taken note of his gaining ground over Dharkon after RED's defeat, and have begun focusing solely on his own spirits. In an attempt to remedy this, whether by threatening them off or simply taking them out of the fight altogether, he sends his own enforcer down from the heavens.

The Batter stands amongst the clouds, bat in hand, and his Add-Ons floating behind him. Waiting patiently for Galeem's enemies to come his way.

The Batter knows they have to. It's only a matter of time.

The Final Battle

Majima and Kenshiro arrive at the scene. Majima subtly nods in the direction of the Batter way up high, and they both ascend to challenge him.

Nanza, Lucina and Hulk approach this time !

The Batter glances down at those who approach him. He himself makes no effort to move, just looking at them, eyes hidden by the shadow casted by his cap.

Epsilon already goes for an Unrevokable Drama around the Batter, heightening his agility before the battle has even begun. As a symbol to his challengers that he's not going to go easy on them, that he's intending to stop them from reaching Galeem, or that he'll die trying.

Nanza and Hulk, not ones to care, attack first. Hulk is slower but his attack pack more of a punch than the faster (but no less strong !) Nanza !

Majima and Kenshiro stop in front of the Batter.

"My, my, a respectable implement on you. The bat is under-appreciated as an instrument of destruction."

Kenshiro simply cracks his knuckles and gets into his fighting stance. "Your move."

   "My holy bat isn't meant for destruction. Only purification."   , the Batter says.

Then, when Nanza and Hulk charge in, the Batter jumps up, landing on top of Alpha, who, surprisingly, is strong enough to carry the Batter on top of it and remain floating. The Batter taps the front of his cap once, tipping it up and exposing his eyes for just a moment, after which he gets into his signature battle pose, apparently having a very good sense of balance as he doesn't fall off of Alpha.

   "I have been assigned to a sacred mission. To purify all impure beings, whether they be spirits or physical, and cleanse the corrupted world. I have done so once before, and now, under Galeem, I will do it again."   

He jumps off, leaping for Nanza, bat swinging. Alpha does a slow, bracket-like movement (Awaited Bracket) in front of the Hulk, after which it'll try to bash into him. The attack is weak, especially against the Hulk, but there's a chance that, if the attack connects, the Hulk will be poisoned.

Omega starts moving around the battlefield in a radiant-looking blur (Radial Blur), trying to lower their adversaries' defenses.

Epsilon starts moving around as well with an abstract floating pattern that would look rather somber (Abstract Tragedy), after which it'll try to ram into Lucina, then Kenshiro, then Majima, in that order, regardless of whether the attacks miss or hit.

The Enforcer

VS The Batter

Conditions:

• Take your strongest team into this no-frills battle

Cell◊, being nearby, approaches the battle curiously, pondering on if it'd be proper to still help out. After all, are any of these people really worthy of his aid now that he is perfect?

...

Well, no, but lending them his help would, to his knowledge, make him physical all the sooner. So he decides to let it be just this once, and, once he gets there, equips himself to Majima, though purely because he was the closest person to him.

Nanza swings her fleshy sword at the Batter, attempting to clash with him. Should it work, then she attempts to use a Gekka Zenko, at short range, to try to blast him away.

Huh, dude, it's your Sankten and all but why'd you dress as a Batter too ? You're weird !

Her feet glows, and she start to run at a fast pace. However she, without interference from anyone, eventually trip and stumble at high speed.

Hulk, if he's poisoned, doesn't show it, attempting to hit the opposing party with an enormous slap. If it work, then he goes for a powerful shoulder bash ! His physical power is so great that the defense debuff, which applied to the other two, fail to affect him !

NO THING TOO SMALL FOR HULK TO SMASH !

Finally, Lucina uses a technique of Marth, taking a stance and awaiting the right timing. When struck, she immediately lash back out with a mighty sword swing !

Then come at me !

Majima gives the Batter a sour look. "You're no fun."

He and Kenshiro have their defenses lowered.

Kenshiro dodges Epsilon, while Majima gets whacked. Thanks to Cell's timely intervention, the bruise is already beginning to fade.

The clash works, and he's then blasted backwards a bit, but doesn't go very far.

   "I see no reason to change my outfit. I was created this way by my Father."   

He then... just steps aside and lets Zanza stumble past him, not even looking at her as he's already headed for Kenshiro.

Epsilon may get launched a bit by Lucina, but it didn't stop his attack on Kenshiro and Majima, the latter of which ended up hitting.

The Batter is out of Hulk's range, but the Add-Ons are not, and all three get slapped backwards, flying back a good bit further than the Batter did. They do avoid the shoulder bash that way though.

Epsilon is back at it again quickly, floating around the charging Batter in a different way, this time raising his strength (Classic Drama).

Omega starts blurring around the Hulk again, this time moving in snaps, like when someone is rapidly taking photos (Photographic Blur). It then attempts to bash into the Hulk, and if he gets hit, he'll be surprised by the impact, because Photographic Blur ignores the enemy's defenses. Meaning that the Hulk would receive this impact like any other person would.

Alpha charges for Majima when it notices he has healing, and moves around in a bracket-like formation again, though this one has a strangely important vibe to it (Requisite Bracket). It then tries to bash against him, and if it works, there's a chance Majima will be temporarily Blinded.

Hub Centralis

Teddy◊ walks through the halls, carrying a plate of food. Ninten's group had moved here some time after the map changed, afraid that they'd be too close to the portal to the Dark Realm, and that it'd make them an easy target for wayward Puppets. Obviously, they'd taken Psycho!Ness, or Nesley, as Ninten mentioned he's really named, with them. Even if he and Ninten didn't get along, there's no way Ninten would leave him behind, especially not while he's sick.

Teddy can't help but be worried about the little guy. He's been this way for months, and even the Masked Man's tablets, while they made things more bearable for him at first, don't help him at all anymore. His body had gotten used to them, and whatever psychic fever was causing this was too strong to continue being affected.

That's why he figured he could help him out a little by bringing him his food. At least Nesley still had a healthy appetite, so his body is still in decent shape.

He reaches his room and knocks on the door.

"Yo, little dude. Official B.B. Gang Room Service.", he says with a goodnatured grin.

... No response. Odd. Is he asleep?

Teddy slowly and silently opens the door in case that's the case. He instead finds the bedroom empty and the window open, along with a rope made out of bedsheets that leads down the window.

"... oh boy..."

Lucina rush in and attempts to help Majima by slashing at this aggressor. Hulk, meanwhile, attack Epilson before it can attack by clapping his hands strongly to create a shockwave.

Nanza finish slipping, and prepare a come back.

Kenshiro uses Dragon's Breathing, causing his clothes to explode off his body, activating his more powerful Burst Mode (effectively a 3+1/3 power multiplier). He then attempts to roundhouse kick the Batter in the face.

Majima dives underneath Alpha's Requisite Bracket, then tries to stab it with his knife.

A ram-horned oni girl, teetering under the influence of excessive amounts of vodka, stumbles into the dimension where Batter is being fought, apparently by accident.

"Hey guys if you gonna have a bar fight don't do it without me... hic!" she slurs, apparently taking the Batter's choice of weaponry to mean that he's some kind of violent thug.

Edited by Arachnos on Jul 20th 2019 at 2:21:26 PM

The Hulk's counterattack is successful, and Omega is unable to perform its attack, sprawling back and being wide open to another attack.

Alpha gets stabbed, shudders, then gets slashed at by Lucina, falling on the ground, seemingly open to another attack as well.

The Batter, with Galeem's boost and the boost in power he got earlier, manages to halt and block the kick with his bat, albeit strains to do so. Epsilon comes to his aid though, repeating its last buff to raise the Batter's strength even more, and he starts pushing back against Kenshiro.

The Batter is too busy with Kenshiro to notice Okka right away, which could grant her a free attack.

Majima stands up and tries to just straight-up stomp on Alpha repeatedly.

Kenshiro pulls his leg back, incidentally letting the Batter smack him in the knee, causing him to stagger. He retaliates with a quick two-finger jab between the eyes.

Floating City

BE!Pietro◊ enters the room of the inn that he and Lust had chosen to stay at, having just returned from a quick scouting run.

"Well... even though the Arena's setting did a complete 180 from a vaguely alien planet to medieval times and the other Homunculi are still MIA, at least Galeem and Dharkon are backed into a corner now. Only a matter of time until those abominations finally get what's coming to them."

He removes his jacket before stripping off his shirt, revealing his lean, muscular physique in addition to a few scars on his back and torso, then takes a seat upon the couch.

Hulk raises both his fists above his head, and smash down at Omega ! In tandem, so does Lucina, who goes for a downward slash at her downed enemy !

I rather detest attacking one who is caught off guard... but the situation require me to perform such an act !

Nanza, for her part, doesn't notice Okka and attempt to assist Kenshiro by attempting to headbutt into the Batter's back !

A low, teasing whistle can be heard in the room. Though said whistling came from a nearby Greed◊, who's sporting a shit-eating grin on his face and entered from another door.

   "Well now, if I wasn't all for the ladies, I might be tempted to make a move on you, speedster."   

He then gets a dope slap on the back of his head, courtesy of Lust◊, who just entered from that same door. He just chuckles in response.

   "I hope you're not too surprised to see Greed here."   , Lust says as she approaches BE!Pietro, now with her usual teasing smirk that barely falls short of being an evil one.    "He came here half an hour ago to report on Pride."   

Floating City, Inn

BE!Pietro merely rolls his eyes and chuckles at Greed's remark before flashing a slight smile at Lust in return, gesturing for her to join him on the couch.

"Let's hope it's something good. I'd really hate it if the news was that Pride thought he found Gluttony, only to learn that it was actually a boulder shaped exactly like him."

His gaze flickers to the former Homunculus.

"So, Greed, wanna share what you learned with the class today?"

Majima will quickly find out that it was a trap. Alpha bounces back up and does the same motion as before, albeit in a much faster pattern, then proceeds to slam into Majima and Lucina with an incredibly powerful bash (Impossible Bracket).

Poor Omega's condition is not a trap though, and it gets slammed deeper into the ground by Hulk.

The Batter gets jabbed in his eyes and backs up a little, but doesn't appear to be hindered by the pain or lack of eyesight at all, instead still trying to hit Kenshiro with a Furious Homerun with aim that suggests he can still see Kenshiro just fine.

Epsilon notices Nanza coming and wastes no time in trying to down her, dropping all the pretenses of putting drama in its attacks, and violently tries to ram her into the ground with an attack of similar strength to Alpha's (Fauvestic Tragedy).

Lust gladly accepts and sits down besides him, while Greed chooses to lean against the side of the couch in a cool way, arms crossed.

   "Going from what Greed told me, I'm not sure if it's good or bad. It's more confusing."   

Greed turns to BE!Pietro.

   "I don't really know what his deal is either. I saw him yesterday and he was kinda out of it, not focused at all. He looked conflicted in a way I've never seen him look before, he was even less condescending than usual. And now I'm wondering... as implausible as it sounds..."   

He raises his eyebrow.

   "Do you think he may miss Selim?"   

Dark Realm

Dropping in through the portal is Psycho!Ness/Nesley◊, who ends up falling on the ground upon which Dharkon had been fought some time ago.

He struggles to get up, breathing heavily, and picks his cap off of the ground, as it'd fallen off of his head upon impact. Putting it back on, he sees the portal to the Final Battle, and braces himself, forcing himself to walk towards it.

   "I'm... aagh... done with being useless. I'm gonna... help put an end to this..."   

"Hello yeah I'd like to order a bottle of KICK-YOUR-ASS!" Okka calls out to the thin air, raising her hand to finger-paint in the air a primitive sigil representing a cartoonish bomb. With a puff of smoke, a large circular bottle with a ram's head on the label, with a burning rag sticking out of it like it's a Molotov cocktail, appears in her hands and she lobs it directly at the Batter. The bomb will detonate in a devastating blast after the fuse burns out or upon contact with anything but the ground, unfortunately not discriminating between allies and enemies.

Majima gets sent flying into the air and lands on his back.

Kenshiro sidesteps the Furious Homerun, now trying to punch the Batter in the shoulder to dislocate his arm.

Lucina is hit and slammed away as a result, she attempts to get back up, but struggle a little, since Hulk is trying to finish off his own enemy by pounding at the ground, causing potent shockwaves with each strike and seemingly not stopping.

HULK HATE HANK PYM ! HULK HATE THINGS THAT REMIND OF HANK PYM ! THIS IS WHY HULK HATES SMALL THINGS !

Nanza's also ramming, so the two attacks likely cancel each other out. She is thrown back, but her blade flies on its own, and she land on it as it float. This gives her enough ground to throw herself at Epilson, attempting to Megaton Punch it so had, getting hit directly will hurl it towards its own master !
