Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Hill in Hub Centralis

So, you living originally in a videogame? That's interesting.

Sofia takes the cheerleader's cartridge, and looks at it.

Sorry for that I gonna do.

Sofia then proceeds to take out the Pokemon white cartridge, and insert the Rhythm Heaven one in her.

Dawnguard Fort

The two musicians chased Belen around the fort, throwing anything to her.

She was cornered against the door, and then...

Smeargle, sing!

Painty opened the door and covered Belen's ears. Her Smeargle began to sing... like a dog, but its song made Orange and Purple sleep. Painty's hair covers her ears.

You... saved me from my friends. Do you know what's happening?

Your friends are under Darkrai's control. We must save them.

What's a Darkrai? And who are you?

We are part of the Vanilla Gang, a special team that fights against the Lord of Nightmares: Darkrai. My name is Painty, he is Milky, and this is Smeargle, my Pokemon.

Belen is familiar with the term "Pokemon"... as a cartoon. She was surprised.

And how we can help them?

We must enter to their dreams... but we need some help. Milky, get out and ask who can help us, please.

Reyna, anticipating a stall strategy, decides not to make any significant moves.

Best Mom used Dragon Dance! Best Mom's Attack rose! Best Mom's Speed rose!

Best Mom was hurt by poison!

Best Mom's health was sapped by Leech Seed!

Red grins, and flips his hat around in a manner reminiscent of his iconic counterpart.

"All right, Espeon! Use Psychic... but don't commit, so you can react!"

Espeon tries to knock some of Best Mom's HP off with a minor psychic attack.

Milky is around the fort, and maybe around the Arena, asking for a person that can help in the mission.

Best Mom fainted!

"Whoops. GG." Reyna recalls the Dragapult.

She smirks. "Next time, I'll bring my OP team."

Kaze closes his eyes and turns away.

nothing seemed to happen.

" i dont know why thats on my shoulder."

she started squinting her eyes

"i dont know why my eyes hurt so bad"

this was because she wasnt built to render 3d

Red blinks, before scratching his head and laughing.

"Haha, I'd love to see it! Honestly, I expected your Dragapult to attack. Good battle!"

He returns the Espeon and goes up for a hand-shake.

Hill in Hub Centralis

Interesting...

Sofia changes again the cartridge for the Pokemon one.

The only thing that I can do for you is try to return to your game. If you want, let's go to my lab, I think to have the perfect machine for that.

she thought about it, she really didnt know. she was confused and scared about being conscious, but was it a gift?

"I...I should uhm"

she tried getting up, a bit wobbly

"I...Maybe?...i need...to think"

Thundercloud Temple

   "Fatalis was a creature of... unimaginable anger and hatred. I need to temper that rage if I want to give this thing a mind of its own. Could take a page out of Bahramos's book and use honor to temper its bloodlust.... Hmmm..."   

He conjured up a pentacle-esque pallet of the various storms, and let the moment guide him for now. If something seemed off, he should be able to rebalance it before finishing...

"Ive yet to see a form of corruption that cant be cured. We might have to beat the shit out of him first, but it should be possible..."

Megan cast her mind back again to the time when Leesarix had nearly killed her in the forests around Riften. His supernatural presence, his 'pressure', had felt... distinctly dark and cold — not in temperature but in mindset.

"At least... I don't have a reason to think that it wouldn't be reversible."

Alright then, we'll let you think about it.

She and Noodle sat down in the grass.

Uhmm... Do you want to do something meanwhile?

Sofia grins at him: she don't want him to overwhelm the cheerleader.

"I misjudged how much damage Leech Seed and Toxic were doing." Reyna laughs as she shakes Red's hand.

Kaze notices something. "It has moved..."

However, with no target to unleash the Magun on, he just continues on his way out instead.

He quickly feeds his mons a share of Max Revives.

"See ya around, Reyna!"

...

Red notices Kaze, and instead of going over to check him out quietly, decides to be loud. Er, as 'loud' as one can be while furiously performing sign language, anyways. I suppose body language can be loud.

"Heya! Didja watch our battle?"

Kaze stops. He looks back at Red.

And he just stands there.

...?

"Are you okay? You're pretty quiet."

"Are you mute too?"

"I'm not mute."

Beat

"My name is Kaze. Your battle reminded me of my summoned monsters, is all."

He turns away. "But they aren't really comparable."

"Oh, that's pretty cool. What are they like?"

"My friend Lucas once found these monsters that start off as little balls, and you have to roll them and then they turn into their true forms. They looked kind of like toys - I think he called them 'bahugons'."

"A demonstration is in order."

The Magun Has Thawed

Kaze draws the Magun over his chest as the shining light orb sinks into it, and a drill pops out. "Soil... is my power!"

The drill projects blades like a rotating fan as it spins, then the whole thing breaks apart into an assortment of floating pieces like something out of TRON, which reassemble into its true form, a three-barreled handgun attached to Kaze's arm, containing a variety of odd parts◊ including a chamber that pulsates like a living heart.

He then points the Magun at the monster. "The Magun... has thawed."

"... Is it ground type?"

Kaze turns to Red. "Can you give me a target to aim at?"

Red thinks.

"MissingNo.! Come out!"

   "Bzzt!"   

"This work?"

"Fatalis is from a realistic setting. I doubt its soul was somehow transferred to the singular eye that you took."

"Still, if you want to get crazy, why not add the Ancient Fire your friend uses?"

"I know. But we can't get close enough to find out the problem without kicking his ass first."

Kaze dramatically points at Missingno. "The Soil charge triad to use on you has been decided!"

Firing the Magun

He reveals his belt of Soil charges, pulls out a charge of a metallic ethereal white-gray mix, then holds it up with two fingers. "The sleep that envelops death, Steel Gray!"

He flicks it into the air and holds out the Magun so that the charge falls perfectly into one of the three holes on the side opposite from the drill, where a pin closes over it to secure it in place.

Next, he pulls out a charge of bright, cherry-red Soil. "Bubbling and boiling blood, Heat Crimson!" This, too, is slotted into the gun and secured.

Finally, he pops a pale yellow charge from the belt, and speaks as it spins in midair. "Finally, the light that pierces darkness, Lightning Yellow!"

This one, he lets fall right into the gun without bothering to catch it first.

On the gun, the weird heart-thing starts beating more and more rapidly, and the drill's spin reaches maximum speed. The triple barrels on the end of it begin to glow with an unnatural light.

Kaze aims the Magun at Missingno.

"Howl! Summoned Creature... IXION!"

He squeezes the trigger and fires three energy blasts of colors matching the charges he put into the gun, which spiral around each other and swirl together in front of the target, forming an epic lightning◊ Winged Unicorn. Its wings unfurl as it rears up on its hind legs and whinnies.

   "BZZZTRZT?!"   

It seems a bit frightened.

"Wowza! That's a neat horse, Mr.!"

He doesn't seem super impressed... but he's impressed enough, I suppose.

"Narktus, he is..." Yahaba pauses, searching for words to describe their lord's enigmatic ally. "Very strong, powerful and influential, for one. No surprise there, he would need to have these qualities for the Master to consider him an ally and not a servant or an enemy. But, he is also... very different. Although he can be merciless to those in his path, he also has a strong sense of justice and understanding. He is a man who has experienced the darkness of despair, and emerged from it reshaped and driven by purpose. He will surely tell you more once you meet him, which should be soon."

If he had spoken this much about Lord Muzan to a stranger, he would already have been long dead, he ponders.

"Lord Narktus! As usual, you were right!" Susamaru excitedly replies to the call from the base. "We've found a new friend! Two new friends, even! On that note, do we have somewhere to house a spider? Of the 'several times the size of a human' type?"

...

A camera drone flies in. Rui watches its movements curiously.

Ah, Rakna-Kadaki. That's a monster from the same universe as the woman you fought for the Red Stone. Most monsters are ordinarily docile. We do have a dedicated wing for pets...

Alright, it can come with.

Thundaga

Ixion unleashes a destructive blast of explosive lightning at Missingno.
