Kumatora notices Homura's wave and waves back. That, however, is when she also notices Lucas in the distance.
As she's noting it to Duster and Claus, Lucas notices them too, and, to their surprise, he approaches them.
When he gets to the three... well, four, actually, since Duster brought the Rope Snake with him, things are... awkward, to say the least.
"... h... hey.", Claus mutters.
"... hey.", Lucas responds.
"... how are you doing?", Kumatora asks.
"Good enough, I guess."
An awkward Beat...
Lucas then suddenly digs into his pocket and, to their surprise, holds out his hand, in which he has the Potara Earring Claus lost during the Ridley fight.
"I forgot to give this back when I dropped off Rope Snake, and the time after that... well, you know."
"... ah... well... a friend told me they might grant me power, so... if you want-", he says, about to take the other earring off of his own ear, but Lucas shakes his head.
"I want to fight with my own strength."
Claus nods, then takes the earring back.
"Thanks."
"... no problem."
Lucas then glances at Rope Snake.
"Well, you can come along with me if you want."
"Ooh, I can?", he asks, piping up.
"We have some combo techniques we practiced together. So yeah."
"Right! Sorry, Kumatora, Duster, but I think I should fight with him."
"We don't mind. Go ahead.", Duster says, holding out his arm so that the Rope Snake can slither to the ground, then up Lucas' leg and torso until he's on his shoulders. Lucas even gives him a few pets, which Rope Snake appreciates, before the awkwardness between the groups returns.
"... I'll be getting ready to fight now. I'll see you in the arena, Kumatora.", Lucas says, after which he turns around before she can say anything back and starts walking. Claus lowers his head a little, but Duster puts his hand on his shoulder.
"He spoke to us, and he didn't yell at us... that's progress at least."
"... I suppose so."
"I'll be getting ready then. I'll try my best not to harm Lucas.", Kumatora says.
"I know you will. Thanks.", Claus says.
Anna doesn't really seem to take notice of the people around her. Jake, however, does grab her by her shoulders to turn her around, to assure her attention.
"Remember what you promised."
"Yeah, don't worry. I won't use it just for the sake of winning more gold. Don't you trust me?"
Jake shows an unamused look, after which he holds out his hand. Sighing, Anna hands him some kind of small, weird emblem.
"Fiiiine, better safe than sorry I guess."
Jake can't help but snicker and gives her a kiss.
"Now go get them, honey."
Anna giggles a little, after which Jake lets her go to get ready.
"Maybe a bit of both.", Iris says. "I'd been considering participating, but... y'know, I've never even seen something like this before. It may be better to get more familiar with this sort of thing through watching first."
She then proceeds to boop him on his nose before winking.
"Good luck, Muscles.", she says before flying out of the arena. She lands near it, and finds Tyler
◊ and Tom
◊ walking around with a cart.
"Anyone want snacks?", Tom asks.
"Ooh! Yes, gimme!", Iris happily replies.
A few minutes pass, and Green Jr claps in his hands again.
"Alright, I'm pleased with how many people have shown up, so I'd say, start making your way into the arena, while I recite the rules again, so that they're fresh in everyone's minds."
Lucas, Kumatora, Varik and Anna make their way to the staircase that leads onto the arena, near the column in the middle. As they, and presumably everyone else, walk there, Green Jr speaks.
"As you know, it'll be one big free-for-all, and your rank will not depend on how many people you defeat or if you're the last one standing, but rather if I find your fighting entertaining enough to grant it points. The flashier, extravagant, unique and amazing techniques I see, the more points you get, and the more points you have, the better your rank, and depending on the place you rank in at the very end, you'll be given a price in golden coins. A million for the lowest place, with it increasing the higher you place, until you reach first place, where you'll get one of my personal treasures. Any of the gold prices can be passed down to someone else if you're not interested in it, but the treasure cannot. That way we won't see any sneaky deals between combatants, hm?", Green Jr says.
"But if you break my rules, you'll either lose points or get disqualified, and if the latter happens to you, you won't get anything at all, so be mindful and play nice to the extent you need to."
He gestures to the Arena.
"There are energy walls that'll try to keep you inside, but it is possible to break through them if you're launched hard enough. Falling out does not disqualify you, but any attacks made at someone inside the arena from outside it won't grant you any points, and vice versa. Any prolonged attempts at trying to camp outside the arena will cost you points, so you better not think that'll be a viable strategy to have. I want to see warriors, not cowardly cheats. As such, knocking anyone out when they're outside and you're inside, or, again, vice versa, will result in an immediate disqualification."
He raises a finger.
"Which brings up the subject of killing. I didn't mention this during my initial broadcast, so pay close attention. Killing is allowed. But prolonged killing as a way of torture is an instant disqualification. And, oh, trust me, I can see the difference, and I don't like torture, unlike what some cliches about rich people may tell you. The rule was made this way so that killing in self defense won't force you to drop out, you see."
He then gestures to Comacho.
"Lastly, the bonus! Comacho will represent me in this tournament. If he wins, nobody will get any of the treasures. On the other hand, whoever manages to take him out will have their current points doubled. Keep it in mind: current. So if you want to take the gamble against Comacho, come up with a crafty plan, because simply brute-forcing it from the start won't do you any favors, I can guarantee you that. And, just to clarify to avoid future arguments, only one person can get this bonus, so if you team up against him... play smart about it, alright? Alright."
"The tournament will be recorded by me personally.", Cyber calls out. "To prevent arguments about who did what wrong or right, or who landed that final attack on Comacho. In short, it'll be impossible to cheat."
"Couldn't have said it better myself, my fine peasant friend, ahaha~", Green Jr laughs.
Once everyone else has gathering in the Arena, the platform Green Jr, Comacho and Cyber are standing on rises up into the sky a bit, so that the column won't get in the way of what Green Jr can see. Even then, just in case, he gets a few personal Alubujem crystals to watch through.
Once that's done, Comacho jumps into the arena as well, not even flinching upon landing, despite from how high he jumped.
Varik draws his sword, Lucas tightens his grip on his staff, Anna straps her Levin Sword on her back while bringing out her Shining Bow, and Kumatora gathers PSI in her hands.
"Now, if everyone is ready...", Green Jr says as he stands up on his chair, raising his arm.
A few seconds pass by.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
Prepare for Showdown
Burning Gundam ascends the stairs to give everyone else room to proceed. It's a tight fit, but it manages to get through. Already Domon's mind races with predictions of who's going to be the best opponent, who's going to be troublesome, who he'll probably lose to if anyone...
Kenshiro finishes his trek and stands at the ready. He has seen that X is here. An evildoer who must be punished.
Dark Riku hovers up the stairs, still smirking deviously. As far as he cares, he's already won. Not even the Gundam, any of the Saiyans, or the puffball will be a challenge to him... so he believes.
Callis goes next.
K!Saitama nods to his counterpart. "Yup. Let's just punch each other out right away."
Last up is GE!Morpho Knight.

A great slam and then some!
Rhea retreats to a safe viewing distance.
GE!Morpho Knight brandishes his sword. The Hero Who Guides to the Afterlife (Passion of the Tridental Flashing Mages - Kirby Star Allies)
Domon tightens his bandana and raises up a fist, displaying the King of Hearts brand on the back of his Gundam's hand. I Want to Do This (Kousaku Suru Kitai - Mobile Fighter G Gundam)
Callis roars and powers up to Super Saiyan 2 right off the bat! The Legendary Time Patroller (Beerus' Fury/Sky Stage - Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2)
Dark Riku enters Dark Mode, brandishes Soul Eater, and manifests the cockiest shit-eating grin his face can physically make. Forces of Evil (Forze del Male (Data Dark Riku Ver.) - Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind)
Kenshiro engages in some Hokuto Dragon's Breathing!, literally breathing so hard his shirt explodes and he gains a Battle Aura. REGAIN THE LOVE (Ai wo Torimodose - Crystal King & Masayuki Tanaka (Fist of the North Star))
K!Saitama just... brushes his cape. THE HERO!! - JAM Project
—
Dark Riku sees Callis power up and decides to target her right then and there. He creates a moving splotch of darkness underneath her, then rushes in with a flurry of swings of Soul Eater. She surrounds her forearms in ki and uses them to block his attacks before retreating, launching a volley of blasts as she flies away from him.
Kenshiro paces about the stage, awaiting an opening. He has a counter prepared in case anyone tries to attack him, whether with melee or a projectile.
Burning Gundam rises into the air and goes for a general untargeted dive-kick, using its size to try and hit multiple people if possible.
Morpho Knight takes to the sky, fluttering around the field.
Once the fight starts, K!Saitama immediately lets loose a full-force punch on D!Saitama, hard enough to send him flying straight through the walls if it hits!

"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Neuff returns it. Yep. She says. I get it don't worry, talking with ya later.
The fighters listens to the instructions and set out on the ring. Samsara draws her swords, Lucina pulls out Falchion, Ryoma wields Raijnto, Neuff powers up... and so does Vegeta who, as soon as the game begins, assume his Super Saiyan 2 form!
YARGH! He yells, immediately attempting to go straight for Bayonetta. He attempts to punt her in the stomach to hurl her away and then creates two energy balls. He hurls one at the closest group of fighters, then hurls the second one seconds afterwards, widening the rather large blast and threatening to engulf them if they barely escaped the first blast's radius. It makes for quite the spectacle.
The shepherds scatter as Neuff begins to zip around the battlefield, striking at people with her fists all over the place. Then, she leap up in the air and attempts to smack the Gundam with a large bolt of lightning! Whoah!

Minato, after ascending the stairs, Immediately puts his evoker to his head, summoning his keyblade, Orpheus. As the blade forms, He immediately moves in on Lucina, attempting to slash at her. Mass Destruction
Bayonetta notices the incoming attacks, attempting to swifltly dodge, Timing her dodge just right to trigger witch time, moving quicker than before. She then begins... Break dancing, firing her guns all around, seemingly attempting to take on LITERALLY EVERYONE AT ONCE. She's cackling like mad as she does this. Fly me to the moon.

Pre-fight
Kyoko's Knight ascends much less gracefully than the Gundam, the chaingun bumping against the stairs multiple times on the way up. It makes it through, though.
Xoeur and ZJ go up together, with him squirming the whole time.
Grumio and Waluigi go up in normal fashion.
—
Opening round!
Kyoko (positioned a bit off to the side) cackles and raises her Knight's chaingun, before she sprays bullets indiscriminately. Haha minigun go brrrrrrr. Bayonetta's small arms bounce off the mech's carapace.
Genocide City Zone (Unused) - High Quality Rip
Waluigi bounces around, waving his tennis racket like a madman before he's caught in the blast of one of Vegeta's energy balls. The force blasts him off his feet, and he careens off before smacking into the arena's walls with a comical *thwap*.
Grumio stamps the floor and causes a scalding-hot geyser to erupt from nowhere. The steam clouds a small area around him, making it a bit hard to aim. He winces as a Bayonetta bullet clips his shoulder.
ZJ scampers around, slowly everting from baby into his true form of a horrible little mechanical gremlin. The little dude decides that Kenshiro should be his first target, and the little monster lunges.
Xoeur has no idea what to do for a second and just stands still. Then she decides, fuck, time to start powering up? She hunches over and does so.

Thor spins Mjolnir rapidly enough to deflect any projectiles coming his way while simultaneously whipping up a massive whirlwind, which he launches towards the Burning Gundam before waving Callis over in case she might be interested in a team-up.
"You know, Callis, I've actually been meaning to speak with you since our showdown with Thanos! Heh, a pity we couldn't meet again under more preferable circumstances!"
Spreading her wings, Nicole begins weaving about through the air to avoid Bayonetta's gunfire, though a few shots manage to find their mark. With a pained snarl, she coats her fists with Arcane Magic before flying towards the gun-toting witch, then throwing a series of punches before concluding with a spinning wheel kick.
"Once we're all tuckered out, Neuffie, I'm treating you to drinks to make up for lost time! How's that sound?"
Pietro dashes by Dark Riku multiple times, throwing a momentum fueled-punch at him with each pass before capping off his high-speed assault with an uppercut.
"Coming through!"

Azrael immediately rushes for Comancho.
Azrael: "Let's see if this meal lives up to the hype!"
He moves fast enough to teleport-ish behind Comanco before doing a rapid-fire volley of fists.
X sights Kenshiro and goes for him first, firing off a Meito Keiken Dark Palm in his direction to get his attention.
THE SUCCESSOR (Ruby Illusions)
Turles turns his attention to Bayonetta, flicking away some bullets that come his way.
Turles: "This isn't going to work. Not on people of this caliber."
He fires a Sudden Storm at her, purple Ki blasts weaving their way through the combatants before targeting the Umbra Witch.
Sho'Nuff... gets hit by a stray bullet and dies. Well, guess we know who's last!
Sagat weaves through the Fighters before settling on Ryoma, rushing in with a Tiger Knee.
Jedah meets Morpho Knight in the skies.
He strafes around the puffball with decent speed, almost baiting an attack?
The man in the karate Gi is too busy evading attacks to notice that he's heading right for Minato and Lucina.
Mark Of The Template (Martial Arts)
D!Saitama responds with an equally-powerful punch and they hit each other in a cross counter, sending each other flying right off the stage!

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"
Varik ends up being in the path of Burning Gundam's dive kick, but leaps out of the way just in time. He swings his sword around, sending some psychic sword beam blasts Ryoma's way.
Cynical Bounty Hunter (Earthbound Halloween Hack: 'Megalovania' NITRO Remix)
Anna weaves through Vegeta's blasts and even all of the bullets with amazing speed and agility, though that is the niche of the Trickster class. She then does a stylish flip in the air, being upside down as she shoots some arrows Thor's way. The magical arrows finds themselves not deterred by wind, so Thor will still have to take care of them manually if he wants to avoid them.
Secret Merchant (Stalwart Opposition, Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon)
Lucas pulls his cloak in front of him, surrounding it in a psychic aura that blocks Bayonetta's bullets like a PSI Shield would. The Rope Snake slithers around his arm, ready for some combo attacks.
But first, he'd have to find a target. Until then, he chooses to buff himself first, going for PSI Strength Up and PSI Defense Up.
The Boy from Nowhere (Unfounded Revenge/Smashing Song of Praise Dual Mix)
Kumatora, raising a PSI Shield at first to block the stray bullets coming from multiple directions, then sends a PSI Thunder Ω up in the sky, resulting in four powerful psychic bolts spiraling downwards.
One towards Morpho Knight (and those attacking him if they're close enough to him), one towards Bayonetta, one towards Turles and the final one towards Kyoko.
Lightning Gal (Fate Remix - Mother 3)
Comacho merely glances behind him before turning around at lightning speed, parrying Azrael's punches without moving his legs at all, meaning he's strong enough to stand in place without being forced backwards by the assault.
The moment he sees an opening, Comacho retaliates with a single punch. If Azrael gets hit, the impact will be strong enough to send him flying against the energy wall around the arena (but probably not strong enough to break through said wall).
Green Jr sits back down, looking excited as his eyes sparkle upon seeing the opening moves.
"Oohoo, yes, yes, this is already exactly what I want to see! Even Comacho is already fighting!"
"It'll be difficult to tell everyone whenever they score points.", Cyber notes.
"Oh, I won't be telling them every time. I'll only announce something when it's highly important, like if someone breaks the rules, gets the bonus... heh, somehow, or earns a lot of points at once. Because, if they know how many points they have at all times, it'll affect how fierce they'll fight. This way, they'll always try their best."
"Makes sense, I suppose."
"Oho, indeed, indeed it does."
Cyber Angel Fortress
The Cyber Angels stationed within the throne room are watching the fighting get underway. Even the Queen and the General
◊ are observing. When the General notices Cyber, it turns to the Queen and points him out.
"That's the one I was talking about."
"Hm?", she mutters before taking a closer look. "... now that you mention it, you might just be right. Though I can't know for sure from here."
She raises her arm as she makes an announcement.
"Everyone! We'll let this tournament play out. But once we go out there again, your orders will differ slightly. You may still kill anyone you come across... but not him.", she says, pointing at Cyber.
"I want him delivered to me alive and functioning."
"Yes, your Majesty." , the Cyber Angels respond. She grins, twirling her staff in her hand as she, and everyone, return to watching the tournament.
Hopefully, in a few days, I'll find out what the deal is here..."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
Burning Gundam crosses its arms over itself as it is buffeted back. It pulls a metallic bar from its waist and a Gundam-proportioned Laser Blade projects from one end, like a lightsaber - but a giant katana. Domon rushes through the stage, slashing at Thor and Neuff.
Dark Riku is knocked back a bit by each strike, but then creates a barrier around himself which withstands every subsequent impact. "... Cute." He vanishes and then flies at Pietro with rapid-fire teleporting flying stabs from multiple directions (Dark Aura)! At the same time, giant shadowy talons spring up from the shadow beneath Callis, trying to close upon her. She is sliced and blown against the ground, but is quick to get back on her feet.
"Hey, Thor. A little bird told me about something you need, and if I win I'll make sure to get it - but don't think that means I'll fight alongside you!" Callis rushes off with a flying ki-laden punch at Neuff (Savage Strike), trying to blow her towards the pillar in the center.
Kenshiro's counter is activated, and it's a doozy. With one hand, he catches three of Bayonetta's bullets. Hokuto Two Finger Void Grasp! He flings them back at her. Then, he tries to intercept ZJ's pounce by striking along its thumb and wrist. Hokuto Bone and Tendon Slicer! Normally, this attack would cause the muscles and tendons in ZJ's arm to distort and burst, rendering it useless, but ZJ is an abomination, so who knows what it'll do if it succeeds.
Morpho Knight tries strafing to avoid Homura's sight, but when that seems to be failing, he simply vanishes in a burst of fiery butterflies - through the lightning - and reappears on the ground, trying to break her gun with a sliding slash. He then whips around with a second slash, launching a Sword Beam at Jedah.
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Lucina blocks Orpheus and, noticing that the man in the karate gi is heading right for them, decide to leap back to slash at them both with a great swing of Falchion, dashing forward in a way that'd allow her to hit both. Then she attempts to attack Anna with a Dancing Blade attacks, attempting to keep the pressure on the merchant with a flurry of stylish high speed attack while Anna has her bow.
No hard feelings!
A few bullets clip her though, so Anna can either choose to strike back or avoid her past Lucina's wave of attacks.
...
Samsara deflects the bullets and activates Demon Mode, which prompt her to use a Demon-enhanced Astra. She zips through the battlefield using her enhanced technique, intending to hit Bayonetta, Nicole and Segata, with at least six strikes for the time witch.
Once she turns it off, Samsara keep up the offensive on Nicole and Bayonetta with a flurry of sword strikes, being hard to see even for the nearby superpowered folks. It seems that she's pulling out all the stops for this one!
...
Ryoma chooses to match the Tiger Knee with a sword swing, though the knee inexplicably match his sword swing and hurl him backward, though undamaged. He swings his sword using Astra, causing lightning to fall on Lucas, Kyoko (and hers is a critical strike), Grumio (though it's less accurate) and about two on Homura herself.
...
Vegeta continues to zip around the battlefield and appears behind Thor in a flash to try to hit him in the back with a surprise double knee attack!
Notalkingmidfight! He says, trying to send the thunder prince crashing down on the ground. Then, he notices Turles and decide to beat him up for... reasons. He does that by flying head-first at him, in an attempt to headbutt him. Should this work, then Turles might end up thrown all the way over to Dark Riku and Pietro. And Vegeta, not one to let his pray regain their bearings, attack all three with a
BIG BANG ATTACK!
As for Bayonetta's bullets, he deflect them and fire back at her using a Kiai, which could knock her off her feet and leave her vulnerable to Nicole and Samsara should she get hit.
...
Neuff deflects the bullets and decide to go ham on Kyoko, attempting to smack down on her with her leg. Then, she cast down lightning on her location, with the lightning potentially spilling over to people near Kyoko since she might be conductive.
Then, the red-head sister teleports near Comancho while he's busy with Azrael and attempts to swing her technological hammer, Thundercrusher, to try to see if she can send him flying, though he should still be in the stage if he's hit and land.
As for Domon, she parry his katana strike with her hammer, smirks, and attempts to overpower him with a swing of her weapon!
Hom-OOFFF
She's punt off by Callis's Savage Strike but come right back up, shooting forward like a lightning missile and attempting to tackle Callis. If this work, she attempts to land in the middle of a bunch of fighters, to try to hit them with the resulting lightning Ao E.

Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
Monster Eater Champion
And Now the real fight begins
Bayonetta, seeing as she's pissed almost everyone off, takes a few hits before suddenly dissipating into a swarm of bats, which move away from where she was previously, triggering witch time as she moves away again, out of the way of the attacks. She looks for a target to single out, and decides to move at samsara, attempting to use her pistols as bludgeons in a rapid combo, as some portal forms behind her, hair coming out. She's also hit by a few stray bullets which bounced off a certain noppon. (WOUNDED)
Minato, in the meanwhile, Takes a grazing blow from the slash, moving back as the attack comes in. He takes note of the gi clad man, before pointing his Keyblade at Lucina, yelling "AGI!" A burst of flame comes out of the blade's tip. (LIGHTLY WOUNDED)
Riki's Spike wears off after he's hit by a few of the aoe Clusterfucks, resulting in some energy being blasted back at AOE attackers who were a bit indiscriminate with their targets. And, now, Riki moves in towards Vegeta, attempting to YOINK some of his current buffed status with his Talent art. (FINE)
Homura fires off her shotgun wildly as she backs up, missing morpho knight, with the shots fired resembling roaring fireworks, her shotgun being sliced in half as she brings up her shield to protect her body, some bullets ripping through her in the meanwhile. The shield begins to whirr more, as homura pulls a S&W .500 revolver out from behind it, with homura bleeding out of various bullet holes. Her earlier movements barely saved her from the lightning strike. (Injured?)

Ophelia (the mech) staggers under the impact of the PSI Thunder Ω, but remains standing. The rate of fire drops, however. Then Ryoma's lightning hits, which knocks Ophelia to her knees and punctures the armor. Riki's counter knocks it even more.
"Come on, come on! You've taken worse than that!"
Then Neuff's lightning hits.
"RRRGH!"
As Ophelia falls over, she bursts out of the cockpit and charges, spear out and swinging.
—
Grumio jumps back just in time to avoid being fried, due to his saltwater geyser being, well, ultra mega conductive.
He hits the ground three times in rapid succession, and the geyser explodes into a shower of water. Anyone near will be doused and possibly burnt.
—
On the one hand, Zelerie Junior's flesh shears off his arm. On the other hand, it was already falling off, so the main effect is just knockback.
He catches himself in the air and snarls before extending his claws and slashing.
—
Xoeur, having decided that she's powered up enough, rushes in. She flash steps towards Vegeta and tries to suckerpunch him.
"Hiya!"

Waluigi slips to the ground and curses, before whipping out a can of Pepsi from nowhere and shaking. Wait... no, sorry, now that's a fizzy grenade.

"Your opponent is me, boy. Don't forget that."
Sagat comes down with an elbow aimed for Ryoma's shoulder. If successful, he'll chain it into a Tiger Uppercut.
Turles turns to notice the Prince right as the headbutt connects, sliding him back to the intended destination.
Turles: If it isn't the Prince. Come to clean up the rest of our dying race?"
He clearly isn't quite up to speed.
He fires off a Kill Driver to counter the Big Bang Attack, the two attacks colliding against each other.
X decides to get up close, rushing Kenshiro with a chop that leads into a spinning kick.
Jedah gets hit by the sword beam and staggers back, but then puts up a spinning blade of blood to follow Morpho Knight, tossing it at him and having it home in.
He gets hit by a few stray bullets, and, after tracing it to Homura, pulls up a large hand made of blood to grab her and attempt to crush her- and anyone nearby.
The man in the Gi- henceforth known as Kung Fu Man- directs the blade away from him with his palm and, if Lucina is still in his range, counters with a rising palm.
Azrael gets punched, but manages to recover in the air before planting his feet on the barrier.
Azrael: "Yes! These are the meals I live for!"
He springs back over to Comacho, going for a big kick searing with energy.
"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"
"Heh, it's wonderful to see you as well, Lady Callis!"
After deflecting Anna's oncoming arrows with Stormbringer, Thor brings up both his axe and hammer to defend himself from the Burning Gundam's energy katana, though the impact manages to drive him back quite a bit. Before he can retaliate, however, Vegeta catches him off-guard and sends him crashing to the ground.
"Argh! Odin's beard..."
Shaking his head, the god of thunder pulls himself back to his feet before rocketing into the air, electricity trailing behind him. Once he's reached a certain altitude, he dives towards Vegeta while he's otherwise preoccupied, lets out a fierce Asgardian battle cry, and attempts to bring Mjolnir down hard on the Saiyan prince like this
◊, complete with a truly spectacular explosion of lightning if the blow connects.
Thanks to her initial surprise at Bayonetta briefly transforming into a swarm of bats, Nicole ends up taking several of Samsara's slashes, staggering back with each hit.
"Agh... Jesus Christ!"
After she's had a moment to recover from being blindsided and rushed, she runs towards Samsara before attempting to nail her with a point-blank Arcane Blast.
"No hard feelings, right, Sam?"
Activating his Chaos Form
◊, Pietro whips up a Chaos Katana and begins parrying Dark Riku's strikes as best he can. Just as he's about to counterattack, though, he's forced to leap back from the oncoming Turles before the shockwave from Vegeta's Big Bang Attack colliding with Turles' Kill Driver sends him sprawling.
"Jeez... Wait your turn, Napoleon! There's plenty of asskicking to go around!"
Climbing back to his feet, he dashes towards Dark Riku and attempts to Megaton Punch him into one of the arena's walls with a Chaos Power Fist, regardless of whether or not the latter was effected by Vegeta's intervention.

"Hey now!", Green Jr's voice suddenly rings, intended for Callis. "No conspiring in any way! If I see it again, I'll detract points!"
Cyber turns to him.
"She was just talking to him though."
"She was making a deal in regards to the prizes. That counts as conspiring in my book.", Green Jr huffs.
Anna seems to be well prepared for close combat even with a bow, suddenly grabbing hold of the string instead and making the bow spin around as a small, makeshift shield against the sword slashes.
"No hard feelings indeed.", she says before grabbing the bow normally again and firing some close-range magic arrows at Lucina and the nearby Minato.
She may then remember that the Shining Bow has 1-2 range.
Lucas casts a PSI Magnet on the tip of his staff, then holds it up high to make the Astra-lightning get absorbed, powering its PSI.
He then launches a boosted PSI Love attack towards Thor.
Kumatora charges forward Kyoko, casting small PK Freeze attacks towards the ground, trying to make her slip and fall, which might make her lose points.
Kumatora, admittedly, doesn't know of a lot of ways to score points, so she's figured it can help if she makes other people lose points instead.
Varik gets hit by Grumio's scalding rain, getting some nasty burns as a result. However, he does not let it deter him, and charges an attack with his sword, preparing for Planetbuster's special attack.
Of course, there's no way he'll get 13 turns worth of charging (then again, that attack would destroy pretty much everything around him), but one or two turns should be enough for a potent, flashy attack.
He then whips out a round shield with a star motif on it, holding it on front of himself as he charges.
Comacho glances backwards again and parries the hammer... with his ''elbow'', while also blocking Azrael's kick with his other hand! He does skid to the side though, implying the attacks did have some effect, but not much more.
Narrowing his eyes, he then tries to perform a spin kick against both Thundercrusher and Azrael to send both of them flying out of the arena bounds, the impact strong enough to have them break through the wall this time.
If it works, Neuff will have to crash through the walls to get her hammer back, not only wasting valuable time to score points, but, if Azrael is launched out too, potentially making her a target for him. After all, if they're both outside the arena, then they are allowed to fight each other without losing points.
Green Jr smirks in an... oddly knowing way when he sees Comacho's performance.
"There's already people getting sucked in by the bonus. They've got no idea what they're up against."

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
Dark Riku raises a barrier again to defend himself from the punch, and though it sends him skidding back, he immediately slides around behind Pietro.
"Okay, okay, I get it. See ya." He vanishes and reappears closer to the center. With a call of "Darkness!" he summons a bunch of floating energy mines all over the battlefield. Then he leaps over to Samsara and tries to interrupt her with a falling slash.
Burning Gundam runs into a few of the mines, faltering it and allowing Neuff to topple it over. As it rolls back onto its feet, it suddenly starts glowing red, and becomes more powerful! It grasps its sword and...
"Exploding God Slash!"
With a mighty horizontal cleave, it sends a chain of explosions hurtling towards Comacho and "co". Some of the explosions seem to be snuffed out by Grumio's water eruption.
The Pepsi grenade lands at GE!Morpho Knight's feet.
"Why does this feel so FAMILIAR-" And the fizzy spray in his eyes blinds him, allowing Jedah's blood attack to knock him on his face.
Callis flies at Nicole and does an axe kick, trying to spike her headfirst into the ground.
Lastly, Kenshiro weaves away from X's attacks. "We meet again."
He tries to shove Zelerie Junior in such a way as to redirect his assault towards X instead.
Hokuto Advancement: 1/4
"He's gearing up for war."
Divine Burden
Samsara is hit at first but she begins to deflect Bayonetta's attacks very well, and attempts to place some of her own. She eventually notice Nicole's approach though, so she attempts to slide under Bayonetta's legs and attempts to grab her hair (not the one coming out of the portal) to hold her in place, which would allow Nicole to send the Witch flying. Should that work, Samsara, still in demon mode, then attempts to get back up with a short-ranged acrobatic leap backward, potentially hitting her in the face. If it doesn't work, the kick is meant for Bayonetta's back.
Then she has to deflect Dark Riku, and visibly needs her two blades and her full strength to hold up to his strength! Realizing that she'd at something of a disadvantage, she attempts to break off.
...
Lucina's too far to be hit, though she notices that she's being shot at by two directions. However, she deflects the arrows first, seemingly remembering the bow's property. She smiles daringly.
Then, like Samsara, she attempts to get Minato's attack to strike Anna. Should this work, she activates Galeforce, enhancing her speed by a notable degree, and attacks with a trail of afterimages, attempting to strike the merchant once. If this works, her speed amps further and she rush back at Minato at superhuman speed to try to hit him with a critical strike, leaving more afterimages in her wake!
If this doesn't work, she attempts to do the same, but get an arrow to the shoulder for her trouble, ouf.
...
I haven't! Says Ryoma. He's hit by Sagat's first attack, but trigger Astra in time to attempt to match and overwhelm his combo. If this work, thn he yells and activates a Critical attack, swinging his feet with great strength and then going for a wild sword strike at Sagat! Then he continues the offensive with a bunch of regular but fast sword strikes!
...
Vegeta simply zips behind Riki and attempts to backhand him on the back with such force that he'll be sent to hit... Grumio, if he's struck at all.
Then, he notices Thor, coat his fist in ki and yells, uppercuting his opponent's weapon and causing a large ki explosion to match Thor's electrical strike. The attack causes him to assume Super Saiyan God to truly match, but he doesn't comment on it, opting to try to slug Thor in the face to send him hurtling and then attempting to blast him, Varik, Homura, Kyoko, Kenshiro, Zelerie Jr, X and Grumio with a series of intense red blasts. Looks like he's trying to get people to attack him. This triggers a series of pretty impressive explosions.
... Then Xoeur catch him by surprise and punch him in the face. He draws back, with some blood coming out of his mouth, but take a big step forwards before attempting to headbutt her!
...
Neuff's thundercrusher is sent flying and the explosions force her to back off further. She also notices Lucas absorbing her lightning!
After skidding backward, she opts not to retrieve her weapon and instead creates two fast electric orbs before hurling them across the area. They'll shock and bounce on people, and may also shock (to a lesser degree) the people that they even approach. They are quite fast but not that big and fade out after some seconds...
And to avoid shortening that delay by a long time, Neuff teleports right above Lucas and attempts to elbow him away from her orbs's paths! Then, she looks back at Comancho.
I'm gonna make that guy piss himself soon... She thinks to herself, black lightning crackling out of her fingertips.

Fallout 2? More like Fallout 2 bad.
[PASIO]
Kyoko is running full tilt, so the frozen ground makes her spin out of control. She quickly spreads into a wide stance so as to not totally fall over, though her spear makes a hellish noise as it's dragged around on the floor.
"AW, FUCK YOU!"
—
Grumio has a moment of panic before blasting off the ground (and out of the way of Vegeta's blasts) with a sudden geyser under him. He's thrown into the air, and starts to gather water around him.
"Aah! I need more water!"
He fires a powerful stream of burning water towards Vegeta, and another towards the trio of Kenshiro, X, and ZJ.
—
ZJ is fine with this. He slashes with gusto, trying to rip X's face off with his claws.
His prehensile tail flails around. Anyone who is standing right behind him might get hurt, but they'd have to be right behind him.
The stream of Grumio's water splashes over cooks him a little, but doesn't impede him.
—
She staggers back, but shakes it off. No real brain to concuss, she fires right back with a headbutt of her own.
"Hya!"
—
Waluigi curries into the fray, tossing full cans of soda left and right.
"WAA-HAHAHA!"
He suddenly tosses a primed Bob-Omb at Riki.
/＼｡｡/＼
Monster Eater Champion
Pure Chaos
Bayonetta, noticing the slide, still in witch time, although it's just about to end, attempts to counter samsara's maneuver early with the guns on her heels, attempting to stomp on samsara's chest, firing off her gun at the same time.
Riki is hit by vegetas attack, his talent art meter not being used do the cancel. And... He begins to bounce around the arena like a damn pinball. Riki decides to use this to his advantage by spinning around with his biter, which is, currently, shards of galeem and dharkon on a stick, while using "Lurgy!" Riki spews poison everywhere as he bounces off the walls and floor of the arena, possibly whacking people with the "Shards of gods on a stick" while he does so. Waluigi's bomb likely wouldnt hit riki now, as he bounces around wildly.
Homura's shield finishes whirring as the attack comes in... And, Something happens, as homura begins to pull the trigger of her revolver.
HOMURAS WORLD
Time stops, and homura calms down, moving out of the way of where vegeta's attacks were going to land, simply drawing a mocking drawing of herself where she once was. She unloads her revolver, six shots leaving the barrel before stopping, on a course towards Vegeta. Afterwards, she tosses the gun, and pulls out... An automatic grenade launcher. She sets it down, And aims it at where the crowd attacking comacho, and around him in a way which isnt focused on him, primarily using fragmentation and high explosive grenades, although this is accompanied by the occasional tear gas grenade, flashbang, and Incendiary. She unloads the launcher, and the grenades begin their course.
Time resumes
Six bullets from a revolver in the air fly towards vegeta at the same time, as the revolver drops to the ground, beginning their long, balistic journey. At the same time, a fucking flock of grenades flies towards the crowd around Comacho, not aiming for comacho in specific, but probably doing the most damage to the people around him if they dont make a run for it. Homura starts Blasting the Finale of 1812 Overture Over a speaker as this happens, before getting hit hard by the blood hand, her soul gem barely surviving contact, as she is also sent flying.
Minato, in the meanwhile, attempts to block the oncoming attacks with his keyblade in one hand, while pulling out his evoker with his other hand, pointing it at his head.

After a brief struggle with Vegeta, Thor gets punched and blasted away by the prince of all Saiyans. Before he can retaliate, however, he's forced to unleash a blast of lightning from Stormbringer at Lucas' oncoming attack.
Thankfully, he does manage to hurl Mjolnir at Vegeta during the clash. Regardless of whether or not the hammer finds its mark, though, it returns to the god of thunder's grasp afterwards.
Nicole meets Callis' axe kick with an uppercut, resulting in a shockwave as the Arcane half-dragon struggles with her Saiyan opponent.
"Oh hey... another surprise reunion! What are the odds?"
Thinking quickly, she breaks off from the clash before going for a series of punches and kicks, then capping off her onslaught with an Arcane Blast.
"Hope you've got one of those magic crystals wherever you are, Glali..."
"Shit!"
Pietro conjures up a Chaos Minigun, and proceeds to open fire on Dark Riku's energy mines. Afterwards, he launches a Chaos Spear at Vegeta.
Spooky Scary Boneheaded Man
Skeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel
Skeletor started to travel over towards Skeletor, and said, "Meh, this is why they developed telekinesis."
He pointed a clawed finger at the sword, and a ray shot forth from his finger, constricting the blade and raising it into the air. "Can't burn what you can't touch, foolish sword!"
"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalous
Strongest In History
Grand Slam!
"Doesn't anybody appreciate a one-on-one in this damn tournament?"
X, while saying the above quote, uses a smidge of cheating dimensional warping to move the water stream so it cancels out with Vegeta's blast.
He then changes focus to ZJ, attempting to go for a Purgation Thrust on ZJ; he aims to strike the forehead, knocking ZJ out if it hits.
He also channels a Hiko Fuji, as to not insta-job if ambushed by Kenshiro.
Azrael gets blown back, breaking through the wall while also saying the above quote.
Not that that really stops him. He simply back into the arena, removing half of his Enchant Dragunov.
Azrael: Regardless, this is a feast! I'll just devour you all!"
He rushes in, doing a spinning kick aimed to blow Neuff through the barrier (not even noting her teleport) before doing another rush aimed at Comancho, this time applying Weakpoints upon impact.
Jedah applies a barrier of blood around himself and steadies...
Turles, now without a target, takes the time to... they to remember if items weren't allowed. Deciding against it for the time being, he instead foresaw two Sudden Storms at Vegeta, one from each hand.
Kung Fu Man palms a ball of energy at Anna, before tossing another one into the sky, which bursts into mini balls that home into Anna, Lucina, and Minato!
Sagat gets hit by the Astra, sort of. His Tiger Uppercut trades with it, allowing him to move around the follow-up attacks and throw a knee set on knocking Ryoma back far enough to play the projectile game; if successful, he'll throw out two Tiger Waves: one at should level, one at knee level.
One could note that, while he tries to hide it with his actions, there's a noticeable cut down the arm he uppercuted with.

"DIO is the ultimate being! The being of the future! Dare you not to rival me!"
Anna gets hit by Minato's burst of fire that Lucina managed to dodge, which makes her get hit by Lucina's Galeforce-incited attack as well. She's hurled backward, but, thanks to her great agility, manages to land on one hand and both feet, undoubtedly sparing herself from losing some valuable points.
She takes the time to drink a Vulnerary before heading off further into the battlefield again.
When attacked yet again, she switches weapons to the Levin Sword, hacking the ball of energy into two with its lightning strike.
As a smaller ball homes in on her, Anna suddenly gets a small, golden aura as she activates Aether. She charges right towards Kung Fu Man, going faster than the ball can go, and attempts to hit him with a double stabbing attack.
The first one, mimicking the Sol skill, will restore Anna's health for half of the damage it did. The second, mimicking the Luna skill, will allow Anna to perform a stab that pierces Kung Fu Man's defenses.
Should both attacks miss, she'll be right open for a counterattack.
Varik's shield is, shockingly, strong enough to block Vegeta's attack, allowing his sword its second turn of charging.
Then, suddenly...
HOMURA'S WORLD
During the brief moment when time is stopped and Homura readies her attack, Varik's eyes glow a pure white, bright enough to shine through his long, thick hair that normally obscures them, and a small, dark red aura forms around him as he's suddenly able to move in a wave-like formation
Time Resumes
When time resumes, Varik is standing close to where Homura is flying towards, and attempts to stun and surprise her with a leaping shield bash the moment she gets close to the ground. If successful, he'll follow it up with a powerful, charged sword slash that, if it hits, will send her flying upwards.
Regardless of the effectiveness of his attacks, his eye glow and aura don't disappear until after the attack, and he appears confused at how exactly he just moved while time was stopped.
Lucas ends up getting elbowed by Neuff, landing near the edge of the arena... and near Neuff's lost hammer.
As such, Lucas smirks and uses the rest of the absorbed energy to blast a hole into the wall, then has the Rope Snake extend to get Thundercrusher. Once it's pulled into the arena again, Lucas makes it float around with his PSI along with his scepter, dual wielding without needing to use either of his hands as he casts PSI Speed Up, completing his plan on making himself stronger before starting to fight seriously.
He then randomly finds one of Waluigi's soda cans, and proceeds to throw it right back at him.
"Sorry, but it's everyone for themselves!", Kumatora yells to Kyoko. Well, at least she doesn't take advantage of her slipping, choosing not to attack her. Instead she blasts a row of PK Fire towards Minato, Waluigi and Vegeta.
She ends up getting hit by one of Neuff's spheres immediately afterwards though, and falls on the ground.
Comacho, after landing from his kick, leaps to the side to avoid the chain of explosives, the light they create reflected in his pupils for a moment before he suddenly leaps towards Burning Gumdam at blinding speed, landing in front of him, then trying to perform a three-hit combo of a stunning punch, an destabilizing kick, and an immensely powerful uppercut to try to send Burning Gundam flying into the air - and potentially into some mines.
Regardless of how this goes, this does result in Azrael being able to rush and hit Comacho at long last.
However, after being flung up, he spins in the air and performs an outstanding landing, after which he proceeds to try a knock-out punch against Azrael.
Should the attack miss, Azrael may instead get bombarded by Homura's grenades.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.
King of the Monsters
Papyrus and Super Agitated Skeleton's tussle continues.
"Leave them. We have what we came for."
As Skeletor turns away, he asks Skeletor, "Why do you insist on taking it with and not sending it elsewhere? Not like either of us can wield the accursed thing."
Kenshiro backhands Vegeta's blast, dispersing it, but he feels its sting on his hand.
"My power is wasted on conceited scum like you." He leaps past the water for Vegeta and tries to strike him on the chest in seven vital pressure points in the shape of the Big Dipper.
Hokuto Seven Stars of Death!
If successful, there will be a slight delay before blood (ironically) erupts from Vegeta's body in a manner similar to Goku's Ultra Instinct backfiring.
—
Callis smirks. "Heh. No time for pleasantries." She flips away after the clash, then performs a speed vanish before trying to catch Homura in a multi-spin kick.
—
Dark Riku rises into the air and... "You like it?!" casts Dark Firaga, trying to take out Waluigi with a swarm of homing purple fireballs. At the same time, he casts Dark Thundaga, causing lightning to strike randomly throughout the battlefield and leave pools of darkness which erupt powerfully after a moment.
—
GE!Morpho Knight wipes the Pepsi off his mask. "Alright, time to deal with the one who decided to bring a giant space-obstructing mecha to this on-foot battle."
Burning Gundam looks in his direction while fending off Comacho with its sword.
Morpho Knight raises his sword and gathers in light energy, transforming his armor and sword into a bright-colored inversion of Morpho Knight EX's palette!
Guiding Hero's power has been unleashed!
"... Crap."
The Guiding Hero zooms towards Burning Gundam and slices a gash across its front with an uppercut. Eventually, his blade stops against its upper chest, but he keeps heaving upwards, carrying the Gundam up high into the sky with him. he teleports all over it in a violent frenzy of fire and butterfly-particles, slashing every joint, every surface, everything that looks like a weak point. Then he swoops up above it, does an aerial shuttle loop, and dives straight into it, smashing it to pieces as he hits the ground with a Sword Plant.
Domon falls out of the remains of the Gundam's cockpit, but he reorients himself in midair, his whole body bathed in red light. He draws his non-laser sword as he's falling and flips into position, raising it over his head as his fall seems to slow. "This hand of mine glows with an awesome POWER!"

"He's gearing up for war."
Thor greets Iris with a grin.
"Have you come all this way simply to wish me luck and cheer me on, good Lady Iris? Or merely to see if I end up losing my shirt or not?"
Nicole walks over to Neuff, smiling as she offers her a Predator-style handshake.
◊
"Long time, no see, Neuffie! Sorry I ain't talked to ya in, like, forever, by the way. I've been busy with a whole crapload of stuff."
Pietro simply looks around at the other combatants.
"Lucas, I really hope you're not planning on picking a fight with someone like the big guy heading for the stairs. Or whoever's driving that big-ass robot."
