Rozwel eats fireball, skidding back and maybe being open for a follow-up.

Iris now has a chance to escape, jumping out out the barrage.

Then, she tries something out, to see if how she thinks this works is accurate.

"Sephiroth!", she calls out, asking him for an assist while she lands in front of Rozwel while attempting to perform a sweeping kick to his legs.

Sephiroth comes rushing in from behind Iris, going past her with eight quick but strong slashes - Octaslash - in an attempt to combo off her sweep. After the attack, he quickly dips out again.

Rozwel gets swept and slashed, skidding back before standing up, a little shaky.

Rozwel: "Akuma!"

Akuma subs in, firing three Hadoukens in rapid succession at Iris.

Iris creates a thin crystal barrier around herself, which takes two of the Hadoukens, though she seems to misjudge the timing and drops it too early, getting hit by the third Hadouken as a result.

"Agh... Shaq!", she says, tagging out in favor of him.

Shaq comes in strong.

And by strong, I mean 'raw level 1 super'. His head suddenly expands as giant fast food products rain down upon Akuma to bombard him.

Then, in switches Sephiroth, folding his extra waist-wings around himself all dramatically before transforming into Safer∙Sephiroth and unleashing a flash of light, hoping to combo off the Fast Food Rain.

If Akuma is caught in the flash of light, he will be treated to a vision of a meteor crashing into the Sun and obliterating the solar system in a titanic Supernova, an illusion so real that it causes actual damage and inflicts one of various harmful effects!

The Red Team: Replica Himinbjorg - Backstage

A short time after the announcement of the brackets, and also a short time before their match is due to start, The Red Team visits the Revengers behind the scenes.

The smaller half-orc, Aleifr, is sitting on the shoulders of the larger one. Between the three of them, he's the only one with any actual red on his person, namely on his short mohawk and braided beard, though even that is greying. The only thing covering his green torso is a plethora of tattoos - a mishmash of runes forming both words and more complex diagrams, along with a bunch of more lifelike figures - a jellyfish, a bear's claw, you name it. He and Lambert wear matching blue pants with a few too many pockets, and he's also wearing armored gauntlets and greaves. A rather peculiar combination, all told.

The other half-orc, Martin, is much bigger than the other two, breaking even at seven feet tall. He's a bright yellow with a thinner black beard and short hair, though not cut as starkly as his passenger's, and right below that are a pair of short demon-like horns out of his forehead. He's dressed like a stereotypical Viking barbarian, with a furred cloak and harness accentuating his otherwise bare torso. And a big axe to boot, even for him. He also has a few tattoos, though not nearly as extensive as the one above him.

Finally, next to them is Lambert, is a brown-furred werewolf, similarly greying to Aleifr, and weirdly short - barely five feet. Unlike his shirtless compatriots, he's wearing a vest under a jacket, both sleeveless, along with a bandolier, fingerless gloves and a domino mask tied over his eyes. Strapped to his belt and back respectively are a pair of pistols and a bow - covering his bases, presumably.

"You look pretty different from the last one we met, but we'd recognize that family of hammers anywhere. Thor, right?" Aleifr hops off his companion's shoulders, and the Revengers would see that he's only four and a half feet tall, with a broad build that's almost dwarvish. He scurries in circles, checking out both Mjölnir and him in general. Pietro would probably note his speed in doing so.

"He's always excited to meet more like us. Doesn't hurt that you're easy on the eyes." Martin adds with with a tusked grin.

"Hush."

"Pleasure to meet you. Good luck in the battle." Lambert extends a handshake to Nicole and Pietro. Despite his resting bitch face, his words make him come across as less cold and more professional.

Sephiroth reverts to his humanoid form. He calls in Iris to use an assist attack, aiming to follow up whatever she does with a jumping sword poke into a Hell's Gate.

Upon being called on, Iris appears in mid-air, launching an array of fire balls down at Akuma in a very similar way to Vegeta's assist earlier, after which she returns to her waiting spot.

Replica Himinbjorg - Backstage

The... Revengers watch the One-Winged All Stars' match with the Official Invitation Team on a conveniently located monitor.

"Huh... the pretty boy's a helluva lot tougher than he looks," Nicole muses, stroking her chin. "Why such a long-ass sword, though? Is he, y'know... compensating for something?"

Pietro shakes his head.

"You just couldn't resist cracking that joke..."

Before Thor can add to the conversation or comment on the match playing out before them, the Red Team approaches him and his teammates. Greeting them with a nod, he blinks in surprise when Aleifr starts running in circles around him.

"Well... it seems my reputation precedes me. Yes, I am Thor, son of Odin. It's a pity Loki couldn't join us today, but I'll tell him you said hello after this tournament," he says to Aleifr and Martin. "Before we enter the arena, I have to ask: have either of you ever encountered the other Thor? Red hair, smaller hammer than mine, really bloody loud."

Pietro chuckles as he takes note of Aleifr's speed, then shakes Lambert's hand.

"Right back at ya, man! Can't wait to see if I'm faster than your buddy here."

Nicole accepts the same handshake with a firm grip, flashing a grin at Lambert.

"Good luck, dude! Hey, if you guys win this round, be careful going up against those Saiyans. Trust me, they're really friggin' tough."

Sephiroth gets combo'd and blown away, but he manages to tech off the ground. He starts charging a Gigaflare, and calls in Shaq with a Shaq-uriken.

Shaq stands there, holding the disc above his head. He's not actually throwing it - he's threatening the possibility that he might, to try and force Akuma to play defensively instead of interrupting Sephiroth's charge.

The Red Team - Replica Himinbjorg Backstage

"Kinda oafish, gets even more easily distracted by the prospect of a fight than the rest of us?" Aleifr completes Thor's description. "Yeah, we went on a mission together, actually, breaking into the base of this Narktus."

"Well, the two of us did." Lambert adds. "We've barely scouted out this world when we got the announcement, so we didn't have time to rope the rest of the team in."

Martin grumbles a bit. "Oh, we barely broke a sweat there. You'll get your turn." Aleifr says, neglecting to mention the dimensional crunches and antimatter bombs they faced in public.

Lambert nods at Nicole's warning. "Thanks. We'll see you inside." With that, The Red Team takes their leave.


Replica Himinbjorg

A few minutes later, The Red Team enters the metallic arena, looking around. Aleifr waves and poses to the audience, with Martin and Lambert behind him.

"If he's anything like the other Thor, then I have a feeling we'll basically cancel each other out." Martin discusses their initial plans openly. "The one with the white hair made a remark about speed, so I'm guessing that's his match." He looks to Aleifr. "That leaves Nicole for you, though the symmetry is probably a bit broken there."

Lambert nods in acknowledgement. "They seem smarter than the last batch. Maybe they'll figure out why we're called The Red Team. If we don't out ourselves first."

Within the audience, the Revengers might spot a certain earth & air elemental pair of brothers cheering on.

"Oh, that may be one of the most apt descriptions of him I've ever heard!" Thor replies with a chuckle. "Rest assured, unlike him, I'll not shatter your eardrums on the battlefield."

"So, Snake carried out the raid without me..."

Nicole shakes her head before gesturing for her teammates to follow her.

"C'mon, boys. Unless our plan is to make them wait until they get impatient, we ain't gonna get through this tournament by sitting on our asses."

With that, the Revengers begin walking towards the arena proper.


Replica Himinbjorg

Once the trio have made their way into the replica of Heimdall's station on Asgard, Thor takes a moment to examine his all-too familiar surroundings before addressing his fellow Revengers. While he did notice the elemental brothers in the crowd, his attention was primarily focused on his teammates.

"Right, they don't know about your draconic abilities, do they?" he asks Nicole. "Perhaps we could use that to our advantage here."

"If those two Vikings are familiar with the loudmouthed Thor, then I'd say they have a pretty good idea of what to expect from you, big guy," she replies, removing her leather jacket and tying it around her waist. "I think you should let me and Pietro tackle them while you fight their werewolf pal. And don't forget, this is a tag team tournament, so let's try and stay on our toes out there."

"I'll handle the speedy one. If anyone here can outpace him, it's probably me," Pietro says. "Heh, I just hope the audience won't have a hard time keeping up with us."

Akuma is not the patient type, still going in and going for a flipping air grab, throwing Sephiroth down to the ground if hit and calling in Vegeta to fire his projectiles again so he can try to cover a tech.

Shaq throws his Shaq-uriken, which arcs upwards slightly to counter Akuma's grab by hitting his legs, and Sephiroth promptly unleashes his Gigaflare, which detonates in front of him, consuming Vegeta's blasts and inflicting massive damage if either Vegeta or Akuma (or both) is caught in it.

Sephiroth uses another level 3 super. Everything fades to black, and fades in on his face.

   "Descend, Heartless Angel."   

He performs a singular swipe with Masamune, with a heavy slow buildup. If it hits, Akuma will be left at the equivalent of 1 HP, while Sephiroth will be unable to use this attack for the rest of the fight.

The Red Team gets into their respective stances and positions in anticipation, with Martin front and center.

"Go!" (Blinding Indigo)

The larger half-orc takes the lead, charging straight ahead towards Thor while readying a big axe swing. While their attention is hopefully focused on Martin, however, Aleifr suddenly disappears from view before reappearing a second later, leaping above his teammate and aiming for a Goomba Stomp right on Thor's head. He's surprisingly heavy, too, and would leave a bit of a dent in the metal floor if he misses. Martin, meanwhile, swerves towards Nicole to strike at her with his great reach. "HAAH!"

Lambert observes for a moment while taking out one of his pistols, before eyeing Pietro. He takes aim, shooting a couple times from his standing position to test his speed. Suffice it to say, this was not what they implied during their discussion.

Bringing both Mjolnir and his Nidavellir-forged axe, Stormbringer, to bare, Thor prepares to meet Martin head-on... only for Alefir to suddenly descend upon him. Acting fast, he leaps aside to narrowly avoid being pancaked, eyeing the newly-formed dent in the floor with visible surprise.

"Odin's beard... I'm beginning to see why Snake enlisted your aid against Gravitas!"

With a mighty Asgardian battle cry, he rockets towards Alefir and goes for an uppercut with his hammer.

"For Asgard!"

"Whoa!"

Nicole pulls Olympus' Wrath free from its sheath and raises the Zeus-forged sword just in time to parry Martin's axe, engaging him in a fierce Blade Lock.

"Okay... I guess I can cross 'fought Orcish Vikings' off my bucket list now!"

Removing one hand from her weapon's hilt, she attempts to blast him with a close-range Arcane Beam.

Pietro darts about left and right to evade Lambert's gunfire before activating his Chaos Form.

   "Heh... you didn't see that coming?"   

He dashes towards Lambert in a zigzag pattern in the hopes of throwing him off, then attempts to whack him with a Chaos Mace upon closing the distance.
