Cell prepares to intercept her, only to be taken by surprise by her speed.

   "Huh, what!?"   

He quickly turns around, firing a swift Gallick Gun her way, trying to shoot her out of the air.

The Galick Gun stops against... something, letting the wingbearing girl make her escape. What it stopped against, Cell can't tell due to the beam's light and there being no energy presence.

Wait... no ki signature... could that mean...?!

And then a fist comes hurtling towards Cell's face.

   "Oh, what now!?"   , he growls, looking around and not seeing the incoming fist until it's too late, getting smacked into the side of the tower.

   "Aagh... who did that!?"   , he growls after a brief wince.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

"That went well." Rie says, looking at the downed Sephiroth... until he gets back up. "Or not."

As Rie is left open, Reuben tries to teleport in to switch her out, but she actually holds up a hand to stop him, having seen Sephiroth also use it in their previous round. "Hrrk!" She cries out as he cuts through all of her defensive layers, dropping her to one knee as she's brought immediately to the brink of unconsciousness.

"Alright, that's it." Just restraining his anger enough to plan his next assault, Reuben's dragon head retracts a bit as it charges up a Breath Weapon in its mouth. "Deathflare!" At his command, his dragon head lunges forward and fires off a large, corrosive energy blast. Then another. And another. And another, for a total of four.

With half of her Dreadwyrm Aspect deactivated, Dagrún regains consciousness, though with how sluggish she's moving, she doesn't seem to be in fighting shape either, merely picking Rie up to get her out of the fighting area.

Sephiroth strides through the chaos, doing his signature Unflinching Walk right past the Deathflares.

He attempts to grab Reuben with those dark tendrils and fling him out of bounds. If successful, he won't be 'defeated', but one of his teammates will be forced to do an emergency tag-in for him.


It's none other than just the guy Cell was looking for.

Akordion is watching the situation from very afar.

.... Well it's not my job to handle distortions outside of the 'verse. He contemplate. Curious to see what's about to happen with this stronger 17.

He sit down, being as far away as he can be while still spectating through his hearing and sensing, and drink... a tiny glass of Akordion's favorite drink, ICE (pear flavored)! He doesn't really emote much, but he still smirks slightly. That's the stuff.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Reuben is stunned by Sephiroth completely shrugging off Deathflare, long enough for the tentacles to grab him. That shocks him back into the fight, though, and he glares at his opponent to try and switch places with him. It's a crapshoot, but if it works, he would essentially pull a No, You and get Sephiroth to throw himself out of the arena. If it doesn't, he's thrown instead as expected, though he stops his trajectory in midair before he's out of bounds, which is critical considering he's the only one in his team still in fighting shape.

Reuben's trick works, and Sephiroth hurls himself out of the stage. His expression is a hilariously confused one, but as soon as he gets his bearings he returns to the waiting area as Shaq steps back up.

Now that Reuben is currently within grounded-attack reach due to switching places with Sephiroth, Shaq runs up and uses the Inferno Kick, a flaming roundhouse accompanied by a throaty "Raaaaagh!"

Solitude - Titanic Clash

As Shaq runs in, the dragon head returns to Reuben's side with a reach of his hand, and it actually catches Shaq's leg while he skids back a bit from the force. Now in his grasp (sort of), Reuben attempts to have the dragon head surround Shaq entirely and reform into a sphere. If successful, he'll proceed to turn his shtick on its head and bounce it around the arena violently like a basketball, with him in it. If he escapes before that happens, he'll instead fire off a quick Dark II.

Shaq gets bounced around for a bit before breaking free and landing on his feet. Seemingly more winded than injured by that (albeit still injured), he takes a second to catch his breath and regain his bearings.

Hub Centralis

An exhausted Sanji is crawling towards a wooden table, carrying a tiny, tiny plate with a tiny cherry-tipped shrimp on it. Nrgh... Your... Dish, madame... He barely put the shrimp on the table and then fall over, passing out with a smile. However... Beet is too busy eating a whole pig to notice it, downing the dish first with the help of a quick drink and then moving on to grab some ramen.

Oh, thanks! I'm almost full too!

Sanji's in a coma.

Well, I should investigate but... ah, gotta eat! She down the ramens.

Reuben doesn't intend on giving Shaq that second, as he creates a PK Singularity and throws it in his general direction, which would suck in and hold on to everything around it for a few moments. It would give him enough time to charge up a Dark III to not just blast him, but also combo off the Singularity and create secondary explosions.

Shaq calls in Iris for an assist, hoping she'll use a move that protects him from this sticky situation, like her crystal barrier.

If she doesn't, he's gonna be hurting pretty badly after this.


Hub Centralis

Meanwhile, Laka is just c o n s u m i n g . If Sanji's noticed her, he may not have immediately realized she was a girl for obvious reasons.

She glances over at Beet and starts eating faster, intent on making it a competition.

Beet notices Laka and looks a little shocked at first, before eventually deciding to put that aside when she sees a C O M P E T I T I O N going on. Her aura actually flares up as she begins to eat, reaching for the shrimp to eat both it and the plate it was served on, and moving on to higher dishes.

She says nothing but her gaze has a "it's fucking on" attitude to it.

She comes in for her assist, indeed going for her barrier to block Singularity.

Which sort of results in her being stuck in place for a moment, the attack holding on her barrier. Iris blinks in surprise and confusion inside her barrier and is honestly not sure what to do now.

Then Dark III hits the barrier and explodes. Due to the assist having already been prolonged, the barrier had lost some of its power already, and as such Dark III blows up the barrier, hurting Iris as she's sent flying back out on the sidelines, lying on the ground with comically spiraling eyes.

It's a good thing she was an assist and not the main fighter though, or this would've probably meant a ring out for her.


Cell looks up as he hears that voice, seeing Android 17 and grinning.

   "Ahaha... call this a stroke of luck..."   , he creepily growls.    "Finding you would have been the biggest obstacle, but you just came right to me."   

He bursts out of the tower wall and flies back up to an even level compared to 17, looking him right in the eyes.

   "I see 16 isn't around. So I'd say you're right. This will be much easier!"   

He then charges right at 17, going for a gut punch.

During the explosions, Shaq lobs a basketball into the air, trying to use all the pretty effects as cover so Reuben won't notice it.


Laka keeps eating. Being a Majin, she naturally won't get full, so it's only a matter of time...


17 smirks and moves to the side, catching Cell's outstretched arm and dragging him along before trying to judo throw him into the dirt.

"There's a great many years between us, Cell. Maybe you'll change your tune if I fill you in, hm?"

Much eating ensues

Beet eats the last cherry and kind of go splat against the table, briefly going comatose before she get up and stare at Laka, hoping to have somehow triumphed. She has a bit of a crazy look to her eyes before she shake her head and take on a more neutral face.

D-did I...

   "Wh-GAAH!"   , Cell screeches upon being judo-thrown into the ground below. He quickly gets back up, looking up at 17 and glaring.

   "Don't be absurd. Even if it's been years, how much could you possibly have improved?"

Alt.Demo is sitting on a table, pondering.

   "How will I go about this..."

Riften, The Ratway

Some time after she and Ban had taken the scenic route to Riften, Nicole wanders through the city's underground tunnel system, the sound of her boots echoing across the walls as she walks.

"I know it ain't the most glamorous hideout, but Gravitas hasn't tracked them down yet, so I'm thinking Snake made the right call setting up shop here."

Once she reaches the Ragged Flagon, she goes up to the bar and leans against the countertop.

"Anybody home?"

Laka squats down next to Beet, giving her a smug grin that tells the Saiyan all she'll need to know.


"Enough to be the last man standing in a team tournament to decide the fate of our entire universe," 17 replies smugly. "I got to watch Goku and Frieza ring themselves out to defeat the most powerful mortal in the cosmos. How's that?"


Hub Centralis

The air around Alt.Demo starts to heat up, getting hotter and hotter, until the air starts to shift and distort.


The Ragged Flagon

As soon as the door to the underground bar/safe haven is open, before Nicole can reach the counter, the two are met with an array of sniper rifles pointed at Ban's face, all from different nooks and alcoves in the chamber.

The wielder of one, a familiar red transforming weapon, speaks. "Hands where I can see them! And no sudden movements!"

Ruby does not seem to be messing around.


Lurmea - HEAVY MAD RAT DEAD SPOILERS

A steady heartbeat becomes faintly audible...

then a rat wearing gloves falls out of a ripple in space, shortly followed by a red cat.

The rat looks up and around at its surroundings and squeaks something.

<Heart... are you seeing this?>

The cat replies with a mewl.

<Yeah. This isn't one of that parasite's hallucinations. But that means you weren't doomed to die of a bad heart after all! You get to live!>

The rat... folds its forelimbs, mimicking a human in an indignant pose.

<Yippee-wahoo, but where are we?>

<You think I know?>

Beet refrains from burping and stand back, clearly upset. She even grind her teeth for a while before offering her hand, in what appears to be a genuine attempt at being a Graceful Loser.

Y-yeah good job on that one. She says, with a smile, before quickly muttering to herself. but that was cheating.

Chuckling at Ban's remark, Nicole continues waiting for someone from Breakout Force to arrive... then jumps in surprise when numerous weapons are suddenly aimed right at Ban.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stand the hell down, kid! He's with me!" she yells, gesturing for Ruby and the others to lower their weapons. "He wants to help us fight Gravitas, so maybe don't go blowing his face off!"

Cell pauses for a moment, then just chuckles.

   "Goku would be one thing to worry about, but do you expect me to be intimidated by Freeza? Even in this imperfect form I far surpass him. Any tournament with a 'most powerful mortal' that couldn't even take out Freeza doesn't sound like anything impressive to me."   

He powers up a little.

   "Now, no more talk. It's time to get what's rightfully mine."   

He flies upward again, firing a barrage of Ki Blasts at 17.


The moment Alt.Demo feels the shift in temperature he's already back up on his feet, glancing around as he looks ready to fight. As a Pawn Doll though, the increase in temperature doesn't physically harm him much, but that doesn't mean he can't be ready for a potential attack.


Lurmea

A second ripple appears a good bit above the one that the rat and cat came out of. This one, however, isn't as much as ripple in space as it is one in time.


Ban pauses when there's a rifle pointing at his face. He'd never seen something like this before, but he didn't have to be a genius to know that this is some kind of weapon.

He quickly goes back to his usual smirk though, still looking right at the sniper rifle.

"Well, this is a warm welcome."

While he isn't really afraid, he decides to amuse the people behind the weapons and thus raises his arms up in the air, though he still doesn't bother to actually look afraid. He doesn't say anything else, letting Nicole take the lead on this.

So, is 17 going to tell him about the part where Frieza comes back and get way stronger than Cell will ever be with 4 months of training? Ponders Akordion.

... Bah. Beet is influencing me. He sense her ki from afar. I guess I should check up on her someday. But he keep looking at the fight from way afar. Hope she's not doing something stupid.
