Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

"So, we focus as much attention as we possibly can on bringing down Calamitas." Miles surmised, folding his arms,"Though I'm not in the mood to play a game of cat and mouse with her."

"Then do we do what Devourer said," Nebula offered,"We wreck everything belonging to Yharim. We cause him so much trouble that he has no other choice but to send her after us. Sooner or later, she'll come knocking."

"I guess that'll have to do," Miles turned to Rhea,"Actually, we do need to ask you a favor, Miss Rhea. We have reason to believe Yharim is gonna try recruiting people from this world to his cause, so we'd like you to spread the word and warn as many people as you can..."

The lad lowered his gaze shamefully,"...I'm sad to say that I myself almost fell victim to his...charisma." Shyna took a seat next to him and placed her palm on his reassuringly.

"You got it." Rhea gives a thumbs-up. "I'll look for anyone else he tricked, too."

Susano'o takes the spear to his chest and pulls it out with his bare hand to make a statement - right before GW!Thor sends him hurtling across the Floating City, nearly falling off of it - except he just floats back in.

In a flash of light, an orange ball of light comes hurtling down from the sun, revealing Ōkami Shiranui Amaterasu.

Susano'o freezes. He lands on the ground, and his arms drop to his side.

   "Amaterasu..."   

"Uh-oh," says Issun. "He's got you mistaken for his Amaterasu!"

   "Amaterasu...!"   

Susano'o hunkers down and comes hurtling towards Amaterasu.    "AMATERASUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"   

He draws an arm back, then throws a devastating punch. She uses Solar Flare to parry it, and the resulting shockwave reduces what's left of the Floating City to ash and rubble.

Susano'o roars, powering up to his Unlimited mode and taking his Primal Stance once again as a Chunky Updraft rises around him!

HAKAISHIN

Susano'o knocks Amaterasu away with a ground-punch that creates a green shockwave of dark energy,◊ then charges at BE!Pietro with a rising kick that produces a Buster Wolf-esque eruption,◊ then leaps up to the Stardust Dragon and performs a falling spin-slash◊ to try and drag it down to the ground, and finally rushes GW!Thor with another shoulder-bite followed by a high kick!◊

Luxord draws five cards. "I summon the Reaper, which has the ability to attack the entire opposing field at once. I then play Moonlit Rampage, allowing the Reaper to attack immediately, which it does!"

The Nobody swings its scythe in a wide arc, scattering cherry blossom petals in its wake.

He then plays cards with Xigbar and himself on them. Nothing happens, so they likely function as Trap cards.

—

Kitten draws Hunting Party. "I can't do anything..."

The Wondrous Wisdomball pops up. "Starting with only one mana is so unfair, isn't it?" It promptly increases Kitten's mana to 5.

"Hmhmhmhmmmmm!" Kitten plays Explosive Trap, and while Bakura can't see that card, a ? appears over Kitten's head, the indicator that he has an active trap.

Edited by KiriK on Sep 12th 2020 at 4:09:49 AM

AYE! CANINE OF THE SUN! THY OVERWHELMING LIGHT WILL CLEANSE THE DARKNESS PRESENT AND OH BY THE DECADENT COURTS OF MIDGARD! THE FOE IS OVERWHELMED WITH BLOODLUST! HOLD FAST, YE FUNKY FRIENDS!

Thor endure the explosion, though part of his upper armor is blown off, but he only laughs, gleeful at the damage he tanked. However, he has to stop to step away from the bite... Only to get struck by the kick!

Sent flying, Thor hurls Mjolnir first, and leap on the air, forming a cone of air as he tries to slam into Susanoo with his two massive fists, lightning trailing along and crashing into the Godworlder after a few seconds!

BE!Pietro whips up a Chaos Riot Shield in time to defend himself from the kick, though the impact still knocks him back quite a bit.

   "Argh... This is for all the twisted shit you've ever done!"   

He dashes at Susano'o, then begins hacking away at him with a Chaos Chainsaw.

   "There's one big problem with that plan."    The Devourer responded.    "Calamitas isn't allowed to leave the castle. I think I mentioned this earlier, but the one at the bar was a fake, being remotely puppeted by her. Same goes for, well, just about any time she's been around in the Arena. You've got to make one hell of a ruckus to draw out the real Calamitas... Enough to convince Yharim that you're a genuine threat. Going around wrecking shop won't necessarily do that - he'll probably just sic his elites on you. Hell, the Keepers are probably already after you, so he'll just send them out. No, you've got to hit him where it hurts. I could see two ways, honestly - go off fucking with Draedon until he convinces Yharim that he needs to send her... Or go after Yharon. The former is pretty much the safer option by a million times."   

Even as the Floating City is turned to nothing but ruins, Stardust Dragon continues charging its attack. It soars back when targeted for a falling spin-slash though, avoiding it barely as it circles around, waiting for a moment when Susano'o stands still.

Then, after Susano'o's attack on GW!Thor, regardless of how that exchange goes, a set of long, spear-like nails suddenly erupts from out of the rubble of one of the buildings, attempting to pierce Susano'o from behind, being strong and sharp enough to pierce through any defenses it may have. As it turns out, this attack is courtesy of Lust◊, who emerges from said rubble.

   "Hey there, Pietro."   , she says, winking teasingly at him the moment she notices him.

If this works, Susano'o will be stuck for at least a few seconds, during which Stardust Dragon attempts to strike. Light now flowing into its energy attack, it launches a massive, multi-colored sonic beam towards Susano'o, intending on annihilating him with its signature attack, Shooting Sonic.

Bakura's monster is attacked, and the card flips, revealing it to be a Skull Servant◊, which instantly gets destroyed by the Reaper.

Kaiba's eyes widen for a moment.

"Skull Servant? That card is as good as useless. ... Unless he's planning to play...", he thinks to himself, but doesn't say anything yet. He wants to see a bit more before drawing any conclusions.

Bakura doesn't seem too distraught about it though.

   "Then it's my turn."   

He draws a card, and a 1 suddenly appears above the Gold Sarcophagus.

   "I now play Pot of Greed◊! This allows me to draw two more cards."   

Pot of Greed appears on the field for a moment as Bakura draws his two cards.

   "I play Allure of Darkness◊!"   , he says, the Spell Card appearing on the field.

   "This card lets me draw two more cards, but in return I must banish a Dark Attribute monster from my hand, or else my whole hand is sent to the graveyard. Luckily I already have such a monster in my hand, which means this is just a free draw for me."   

He banishes Gravekeeper's Heretic◊ to draw two cards.

"What? Why did he play Skull Servant if he had an 1800 attack monster in his hand?", Kaiba can help but wonder aloud. Even in the deck that he's thinking Bakura might have, it'd have been better to play this card and dispose of Skull Servant another way.

Bakura takes a look at his hand, formulating which card he should play. He then comes to a conclusion.

   "I summon Wightprince◊ in Attack Mode!"   

As the skeletal monster appears, Luxord and Kitten may notice that it has no attack power at all. Yet Bakura played it in Attack Mode, instead of doing what he did with Skull Servant by playing it in Defense Mode.

   "Since my Wight can't beat your Reaper, I'll have to end my turn."   , Bakura says, grinning.

Susano'o is caught by the nails, but as he's being bombarded with fists, chainsaws, and death, he suddenly creates a field of darkness in front of himself◊ that absorbs the attacks and destroys the nails.

   "You think you can destroy destruction itself?!"   

Amaterasu suddenly springs forth and smacks him across the face with Solar Flare. He snarls in response, charging at her with a grapple to slam her against the rubble and blast her away with an explosion.◊

He then materializes a sword out of his energy and swings it in a horizontal sweep around himself◊ before dispersing it. Instead of slashing them, this sword will blow his enemies away.

Luxord draws another card. "My Reaper will simply attack again, and I end my turn."

—

Kitten, now with 6 mana, draws Bestial Wrath. He plays Hunting Party, duplicating his King of Beasts. "I end my turn."

Edited by KiriK on Sep 12th 2020 at 5:12:38 AM

Judging by the way everyone winced, it was clear none of them liked the idea of dealing with Yharon just yet,"Yeah, I think we're all in agreement that messing with Draedon is the safer option," Miles remarked as he materialized a couple of sodas for Rhea and Devourer,"So, how you suggest we do that? Just find all his stuff and wreck it?"

BE!Pietro ends up being blown back by Susano'o's attack, and he crashes to the ground beside Lust. As he climbs back to his feet, he offers her a grin.

   "Hey, Lusty! Even when all hell's breaking loose, it's a genuine pleasure to see you,"    he says.    "In case you're wondering who this ugly bastard is, well... let's just say that he's caused me a lot of pain over the years, and I'm gonna make sure that ends today. Permanently."   

He conjures up a Chaos Magic Replica of Hawkeye's bow, takes careful aim at Susano'o, and begins launching explosive arrow after explosive arrow.

YES!

After speaking those bold words, Thor retrieves his hammer and get imploded backwards by the sword. However, he quickly swings back to things and attempts to nail Susanoo with a downward hammer blow, and then attempts to hit him with an upwards attack, potent enough to split the sky and part the clouds way above him.

If it work, then two seconds afterwards, a thunderbolt pop out of the sky and tries to hit Susanoo, bearing the ability to D D DRILL through the ruins of the floating city and impact the ground below with great strength.

Lust recoils when her nails are destroyed, though her Philosopher's Stone quickly kicks in, regenerating them. After that she's blown back a fair distance by his sword. However, even before she lands again, she extends her nails, aiming to strike his sword, though when it dissipates, she aims for Susano'o's shoulder instead, trying to cripple his arm.

   "I can already see why you hate him."   , she snarks.

Stardust Dragon is flung back as well, though not nearly as far. Once it's stable again, it charges at Susano'o and tries to ram him to the ground.

Wightprince gets hit, and then...

   "I activate my Trap Card, Defense Draw◊! This card allows me to negate the damage I'd get from this battle, as well as allow me to draw a card. It doesn't, however, stop the battle."   

As such, Wightprince gets destroyed and Bakura draws a card. Gold Sarcophagus then gets a 2, after which it vanishes, allowing Bakura to add his banished card to his hand.

   "The effect of Wightprince activates in the Graveyard! If it's sent to the Graveyard, no matter through what method, I can send one Skull Servant and one The Lady in Wight◊ from my Deck to the Graveyard!"   

The two cards are pushed out of Bakura's deck and into his hand, after which he discards them.

"I knew it!", Kaiba thinks to himself.

   "As such, it's now my turn."   , he says, drawing a card and grinning.

   "I activate the effect of Plaguespreader Zombie◊ from my hand. By putting one of the cards in my hand back on top of my deck, I can Special Summon Plaguespreader Zombie."   

He does so, then plays Plaguespreader Zombie.

   "I then play this card from my hand! Double Summon◊! This allows me to Normal Summon two monsters instead of one this turn, allowing me to play the Wightprince and Lady in the Wight from my hand."   

He places both monsters onto the field.

   "And now... I remove all three monsters on my field to perform a Synchro Summon!"   

"What!?", Kaiba asks, shocked that Bakura knows what a Synchro Summon is. They didn't exist back during the days of Battle City, after all.

Bakura then removes his three monsters, taking a card out of the Extra Deck and playing it on the field.

   "Darkness caused from injustice and death, corrupts even the purest of souls. From the Pharaoh's servant, he is now my own! I Synchro Summon..."   

Archfiend Skull Zombie◊

A Powerful Lich

The massive skeletal demon appears on the field, letting out a terrifying hiss.

   "And because my Wightprince has been sent to the Graveyard, I can send a Skull Servant and a The Lady in Wight from my deck to the Graveyard as well!"   

The cards appear out of his deck and Bakura discards them.

   "Now, Archiend Skull Zombie, attack the Reaper and avenge the fallen souls!"   

The Archfiend hisses again, after which it sends a bolt of powerful lightning towards the Reaper. Regardless of the result, Bakura then says.

   "I end my turn."   

Kaiba, meanwhile, softly says: "Eight... this could be bad..."

He then glances at Luxord and Kitten.

"Be on the ready. If what I think is correct, the monster he currently has on his field is far from the strongest that his deck can produce."

He then looks back at Bakura and pauses when he notices something. Diabound is gone.

"... Where did that warped fiend go...", he mutters.

Edited by DevilPsyco on Sep 12th 2020 at 12:14:55 PM

Ammy gets blasted away, taking her turn to recover.

Susano'o is stabbed, smacked around, blown away, and spiked by the lightning, being sent hurtling through the sky by each new impact, until he is forced to warp back to the Floating City to get there. And then he gets smashed into a hole by the dragon.

He simply rises up out of it like Broly, though.    "Indeed, your suffering ends today... BY MY HAND!"   

Strike of the Possessed God

He performs a simple standing backhand strike,◊ which looks pretty easy to dodge if you're not right in front of him.

Anyone who is hit, though, will be left stunned and unable to avoid what he does next...

Sundering Claws,◊ Towering Flame,◊ Megalith,◊ Hunter's Fang,◊ Dancing Dual Kick,◊ Inevitable Calamity,◊ Splintering Thrust,◊ Blade of Judgement,◊ and finally a destructive energy wave fired from his mouth,◊ all in rapid succession!

video reference for the full sequence

Bloodsplitter

Then, just in case someone nearby dodged the backhand, he does a staggering gut punch that will lead into a rising spin followed by a downwards slam that creates an explosion!

Luxord's Reaper is oofed, and he loses 700 life points. He draws Dragoon, and proceeds to place it face-down, followed by a face-up Sorcerer.

Kitten draws Kill Command.

"I summon King of Beasts, whose Taunt ability forces all enemy monsters to target him and only him. Then, I play Bestial Wrath! This increases his attack by 2, and makes him immune to all damage and hazardous effects until my next turn!"

He ends his turn.

   "Whoa, look out!"   

BE!Pietro just manages to evade the oncoming backhand by dashing back. In retaliation, he hurls a pair of Chaos Grenades at Susano'o.

   "Wrath must be kicking himself for missing out on a fight like this!"   

Due to Stardust Dragon being up close, it gets backhand-struck, stunned, and then combo'd hard enough to be sent flying into the debris.

While the attack left it a bit too staggered to get back up immediately, Stardust Dragon isn't so out of it that it can't attack again, and as such fires another Shooting Sonic beam at Susano'o.

Lust manages to evade the initial backhand, and as such the combo. But the explosion catches her before she can counterattack, leaving her body damaged and forcing her to spend the turn regenerating.

   "Wrath and Greed both. Those two would love something like this."   , she groans.

Bakura chuckles.

   "Very well. Destroying that monster will be easy. I draw!"   

He draws a card and ponders for a moment.

   "I think I could go with a better hand. I play the card I brought out with the sarcophagus, Card Destruction!◊ This card will force all three of us to discard our hand, then draw as many cards as we had before.   

Thor, unfortunately, endures the full force of the blow, and while not out of the fight, he's smashed enough badly. So much that he's hurled into some rubble, and doesn't quite come back this round!

Susano'o grunts, being forced to raise his arms to block the attacks, and Shooting Sonic sends him skidding back.

Roar of the Mad King

   "The end comes."    He slams the ground, creating an eruption of dark tendrils to try and ensnare his foes and drag them into their impending doom. The first to get hit is the Stardust Dragon, which ensures that the rest of the attack follows.

TRUE-BLUE (Astral Heat Ver.)

He plunges a hand into his chest and manifests a giant fuck-off length of darkness, more of a formless tendril than a sword.

   "You. Your world."    He swings the 'sword' in a circle, creating a whirlwind of destruction to slash away at anything trapped within!

   "And all of its bullshit laws!"   

He swings the 'sword' up, then unleashes a swarm of slashes that blot out the world in darkness!    "CHAOS WILL DEVOUR YOU ALL!"   

When it finally ends, the Stardust Dragon, and anyone else who had the misfortune of being caught in the initial eruption, have been wiped out. All that remains from the attack is Susano'o, brandishing his sword amidst a wasteland.    "Pathetic."   

However, Amaterasu did not get hit by that startup, and she comes rushing in, switching her weapon to the Exorcism Beads and moving with a look of intent.

Luxord smirks. "You have activated Luxord's Gambit!"

The card he played with himself on it suddenly turns into... another of him, standing there in a battle posture.

"A coin will be flipped. If it is heads, your Card Destruction will proceed as you planned. If it is tails, your spell will be negated and the card destroyed!"

The summoned Luxord creates a giant coin under himself and dives into it, creating a 'heads' that is Luxord's face and a 'tails' that is the Nobody emblem. The coin proceeds to flip itself... and lands emblem-side-up, destroying the Card Destruction before it can take effect.

Luxord smirks as his trap card is promptly discarded.

Thor explodes out of the rubble and come forth. He's, huh, just wearing pants by now but it's only to reveal a set of large nordic runes over his chest, all of whom are glowing and unleashing a shitton of lighting. His mouth, eyes and ears are also glowing blue, with the power of lightning.

A thunderstorm form, and lightning strike the ground everywhere as Thor, covered in wounds, hold up his mighty hammer.

THESE VERY LAWS NOW CONDEMN YOU TO AN ENDLESS HELL He says, with none of his usual flippant and cheery attitude. Like Amateratsu, he rocket forth with intent, his muscles bulging with godly power. And he become lightning itself, as he tries to slam into Susanoo. Both to electrocute him and, if he hit, cause an extraordinarily large shockwave, sending tons of rocks and dust flying.

Then, he swing his hammer down, and the entire thunderstorm heed its call, striking all at once with a bolt of lightning the size of several blocks, accompanying a blow that shake the entire Arena to its core. Luckily, the lightning only slimmer down to avoid hitting others.

Poor Stardust Dragon finds itself annihilated for its troubles. Lust had the luck to get out of range of the tendrils just in time, allowing her to survive.

   "Why you..."   , she growls, then extends all of her nails, using five to slash at him and the other five to try to impale him through his head.

Bakura looks surprised at first, then somewhat agitated, as he wasn't able to refresh his hand. ... If it can even be called that, seeing as he only has a single card in his hand.

   "Well then... it doesn't matter. With my Archfiend on the field, I'll have all the time I need to get the cards I want. Seeing as your monster's invincible until the end of your turn, I suppose I'll end mine."   

"You're both doing well. I'm surprised.", Kaiba says to Luxord and Kitten, smirking, then looking more serious.

"I just hope you can defeat him before he summons his ace monster."

Acting fast, BE!Pietro immediately begins hacking away at the tendrils coming for him with a pair of Chaos Hookswords, charging straight towards Susano'o as he does so. Upon closing the distance, he attempts to straight-up impale him with a Chaos Claymore.

   "Go to hell where you belong, shitbag!"   

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Sep 12th 2020 at 4:19:27 AM

Amaterasu lashes out with her Rosary and yanks away the Susano'o Unit, severing body and soul, leaving the bare Yūki Terumi where it stood to take all the attacks.

He gets impaled in numerous places, Lust's nails pinning him down as he screams. Then he gets blown away by Thor, and finally vaporized by the lightning hammer-smash.

Astral Finish!

The sun shines once more as peace falls. Hazama Honoka, Yūki Terumi, Takehaya Susanoo-no-Mikoto... is dead.

Amaterasu lets out a victorious howl.

Luxord draws a card with Lexaeus◊ on it. "I play Skysplitter!" he says, playing that card to summon Lexaeus, who powers up high enough to shake the earth before he vanishes and that power is transferred to the King of Beasts, increasing its Attack to 10.

Thor briefly waits, and then stand up, all his wounds healed all of a sudden. His armor grows out of his skin until it's formed back again.

ANOTHER THING TO BE HELD IN ODIN'S VAULT. He moves to grab the armor.

   "Well, in theory, that'd be a good plan... But we kinda need Yharim to trace this back to us."    The Devourer grabs the soda Miles hands her, downing it in one gulp.    "That's sorta the point. Get his attention, so he sends Calamitas to take us down. That said, getting Draedon to point Yharim our way would do the trick, since tall, mean and golden's already had a personal run-in with all of us except for you."    The Devourer nodded at Rhea.    "He's got a factory in Terraria producing high-tech weapons for the army - pretty deep into the tundra, but I can just teleport us there. It'll be guarded by his robots, but that's not much of a big deal. From what I heard before I got out of there, Draedon had a whole wing of the place reserved to make changes on one of his big AI war machines. Crippling a major weapons factory and taking out one of Draedon's favorite toys is exactly the kind of thing we need."   

"Then it's agreed," Miles downed the last of his drink and stood up,"We set out just as soon as I finish getting that delivery dropped off. Which reminds me..." He glanced at the clock on his phone,"Yeah, it's getting kinda late,"

He moved towards the door before glancing back,"Um...sorry, Devourer, but we kinda need to keep Providence in the dark about you switching sides so do you mind holding up here for another ten or fifteen minutes?"

Letting out a heavy sigh, BE!Pietro drops out of his Chaos Form.

"Like I said, consider yourself lucky... Wanda would've made whatever punishment the devil's got planned for you look like fucking child's play.'"

He goes over to Lust, and he offers her a grateful smile.

"Thanks for the assist back there, Lusty. You might not know my full history with that psycho, but you just helped me get the payback and closure I've been needing for... a long time, really."

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Sep 12th 2020 at 4:37:01 AM

   "Well, I suppose that's one piece of trouble dealt with."   , Lust says to herself, her body still regenerating her remaining wounds. Then BE!Pietro comes to her and she smiles.

   "Is that so? I suppose that means I was able to return the favor for you helping us find Pride a while back."   , she says, chuckling.

   "In all seriousness, you've helped us a lot. It's only natural I help you out as well~"   

   "What!?"   , Bakura says when he realizes the King of Beasts outpowers his Skull Archfiend of Lightning now, and in his panic he completely forgets to activate his face-down card. Not that it would've saved his Archfiend though.

The demon gets destroyed and Bakura snarls.

LP: 7830

   "Shit..."   

He draws a card.

   "It's a bit of a waste, but I activate Allure of Darkness, and banish the Wightmare in my hand to draw two cards."   

Kaiba seems pleased about this for a reason Luxord and Kitten probably won't be able to guess at this moment in time.

Bakura draws his two cards after banishing Wightmare.

   "I play Pot of Greed to draw two more cards!"   

   "My last Pot of Greed... I better get something good from this..."   , he thinks to himself. He draws his cards again, then grins.

   "This, I can work with. I activate Cost Down! By discarding one card, I can reduce the levels of the monsters in my hand by two for the rest of my turn."   

He discards Mezuki◊ as the cost for Cost Down, allowing him to summon Millenium Shield◊ in Defense Mode]].

   "This monster has more than enough defensive power to block your King of Beasts."   , Bakura says, grinning.

   "And it'll hopefully buy me the time I need."   '
