Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

He's smashed. Ouch. GE!Oca plummets into the sand, kicking up a huge whorl of dust. When it clears, he's buried up to his head.

"Ouch... yeah, GG. I could go on for a while, but something tells me no amount of extra time would let me break through that strength on my own."

"i would totally beat you if I went ultra cheaty tho"

Pikachu leaps into the air, fully intent on, well, "Pi - ka - CHUUUUU!"

Pikachu used Thunderbolt!

/＼｡｡/＼

Meowth, predictably, gets zapped.

"Y-Y-Y-EEEEOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!"

And then he faints, eyes having turned into spirals. Wobbuffet walks onto the battlefield to pick him up and drag him back to Jessie and James.

"Well, that could've gone better.", Jessie says.

"Anyhow, I suppose that means you won.", James says. "The other Pokemon we have on hand are meant to protect us in an emergency."

"Or get rabid around Pikachu.", Jessie thinks to herself.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

He quickly returns Pikachu before it can start zapping random shit.

"You guys did really good!"

"Do you not carry around Max Revives or anything? I figured an organization like Team Rocket would equip their employees with some items like that."

/＼｡｡/＼

"... So you do not know who I am, then. I suppose I am related to the Devourer, in a way..."

There was a sort of dramatic pause in her words, just short enough that Miles didn't get a word in before she continued.

"I am tasked to slay her. And anyone who gets in my way. And you are in my way."

Near Rat God, Vague Hub Centralis

Not too far from the rodent was exactly who she was looking for - Cyan and Blue. And, as it would seem, a few others, as well.

"Woah... Yeah, no joke, this place is pretty rad."

"Told you so. You two holding up okay?"

"U-Uh, yeah, it's a little weird, but... I think I could get used to it."

"Indeed."

"You're st-stumbling, Y-Yellow..."

"I'm perfectly fine. Best to worry about Green, before-"

Splat! In an attempt at a sick backflip, Green wound up eating a faceful of pavement instead.

"... Before that."

"You and Pseudo are just filled with surprises, aren't ya? EN would get a real kick outta meeting you two!"

Nicole flies straight towards Pilly, weaving about through the air to evade the oncoming lightning. Once she manages to get close enough to Pilly, she fires off an Arcane Blast just as a stray lightning bolt sends her crashing back to the ground.

"Argh..."

---

Loki nods in response.

"Very well. I would strongly advise against taking too long to reach a decision, though," he says.

---

Briefly surprised by Linda's Black Widow-level acrobatics, Thor only has enough time to leap back from the flames. As a result, he takes her ensuing divekick right to the chest, and is summarily knocked back.

"Impressive... If Mjolnir does break against your arm, consider your preemptive apology accepted!"

Summing Mjolnir to his outstretched hand, he leaps forward and takes a mighty swing at Linda with the legendary hammer.

Rat God pops into existence over the chromatic ensemble's heads.

There's more of them? It seems Blixer left out a key detail... She grumbles something as she slowly descends.

"He's gearing up for war."

It seemed all of the colorful ensemble were too busy checking on Green's fall and (lack of) injuries to notice the descending rodent. Except for...

"Oh. Hello there."

"Aaaaaaaand goodbye."

Uh-oh.

With a snap of Rat God's fingers, an immensely chaotic song (Ballistic (Retrospecter Remix) - Friday Night Funkin' VS. WHITTY Mod) kicks in.

And she moves in sync with each note of the song, meaning she is zipping and zooming all over the place holy shit where is she CALM DOWN.

Energy balls fly at the group at blinding speed, and by the time they can process them, Rat God is no longer at the place where she fired from.

"He's gearing up for war."

The stray Arcane Blast manages to hit Pilly and forces her to stop spinning, dispelling her electric field.

"That's a weakness I'll have to work on.", she notes to herself, then smiles at Nicole.

"Well, Pseudo probably wouldn't mind her meeting us. Dunno if he'd be comfortable with letting her into the base immediately, but we could meet through the monitor at least. Anyhow..."

The spikes on her spider legs open up, now revealing four laser blasters.

"Can't have all of my attacks be flashy over effective.", she giggles before she starts to shoot laser blasts.

—

"I suppose that is solid advice. I hope I'll feel good enough soon to get this plan done.", Pseudo says, after which he looks back at the fight.

—

A round, metal shield suddenly emerges from Linda's bionic arm, both halves unfolding and connecting in the middle. Of course, a regular metal shield can't fully block Mjolnir's strike, but that's not really Linda's intention.

The moment the mighty hammer's strike connects and sends Linda flying, a yellow cable extends from underneath the shield, attempting to wrap around Mjolnir's head. If successful, it'll send shocks through the cable and through Mjolnir, meaning that Thor will receive said shocks as well for as long as he holds onto Mjolnir. The shocks seem to be generated from plasma instead of actual electricity, which means that Thor won't have a resistance against this attack.

Regardless of the results, Linda will land on her feet a good distance away, but will need a moment to recover from that impact and thus won't be able to perform another attack right away.

The metal shield is also heavily dented, and will probably only be able to take Mjolnir's swing one more time before fully breaking.

"Max Revives are incredibly rare. Usually it's just the boss that has some on them.", James says as Pelipper flies back in to get the Prize Master back.

"Anyhow, where'd you find that Missingno.? It made our, uh, equipment go haywire just now.", Jessie asks.

Wobbuffet, meanwhile, is feeding Meowth some berries.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

"SCATTER!"

Yellow reacted with surprising swiftness, teleporting out of the way of the first barrage before starting to zip around like mad. The others... weren't so lucky, with most of them caught in the barrage and taking a significant amount of damage before they each managed to zip away - save for Blue, who got pelted a bit more before he could put up a shield around himself. From there, all four of the unshielded of them started to flashstep around to the rhythm, dodging rat balls like mad.

Rat God rapidly appears and disappears all over the place, teleporting more times in one second than a goddamn Kirby boss before leaving orbs in the air behind her as she travels.

These orbs, after a startlingly long buildup, detonate into +-shaped waves of unnaturally geometric-looking fire.

"He's gearing up for war."

Blue couldn't really do much to stop his forcefield from being overwhelmed and getting shattered into little bits from the attack.

As for the rest, only Cyan anticipated that the orbs might explode - the rest of the gang were all caught in the explosions and further damaged before they could zip into a safe spot. Wasn't much they could do to counterattack, though.

"Cinnabar Island. The locals were scared of them, but they were just a wittle baby that needed a friend. It lives with me in Pallet Town now."

"I think they're from Ultra Space."

/＼｡｡/＼

Rat God smiles wickedly as she turns to Cyan and, singling him out, tries to just ram him into a building at lightning speed.

"He's gearing up for war."

Yeah, in a stressful situation like this, not even a speedster like Cyan could react to that. Boom goes the shape, scattering even more broken crystalline shards all over the ground. Though that does give Green, Yellow and Orange a moment to gather their senses and prepare for the next attack.

"Huh, that is... surprisingly close by.", Jessie says.

"Wait, Ultra Space? That's the place Hoopa doesn't want to open portals to."

Jessie ponders, hand on her chin.

"So what you're suggesting is that we might learn more about Ultra Space as well if we manage to catch a Missingno. of our own?", Jessie asks Red.

As Pelipper leaves with the Prize Master, Meowth finally awakens, though is still a bit woozy.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

Rat God zips up into the air and all around, looking for Blue (having missed his demise in the chaos) and not really caring about the others. If they have any offensive abilities, this is their opening to retaliate.

"He's gearing up for war."

Red giggles.

"Okay, it's not my area of expertise, but I have a bunch of nerdy friends, so I've got an all right grasp on it."

"'Ultra Space' isn't a location, it's just... everywhere that isn't where you're from. Saying that something is from Ultra Space is about as vague as saying that something is from outer space."

/＼｡｡/＼

As Rat God zips up and around, she's intercepted by... a solid swing from a metal pipe, of all things, with Green having grabbed it and managed to get a read on her movement just about well enough to swing in a place he knew she'd show up.

Rat God is bonked in the nose and her body is riddled with holes, making her resemble humanoid cheese (ironically).

"Ow!"

Out of spite, she rewinds time and just sits there as Green misses. Like Blixer, he and the others will know that time-fuckery happened, but won't be able to prevent it from happening.

"Now you're really in for it..."

"He's gearing up for war."

"Hey, no fair!"

Green goes for another swing of the pipe at her - though while that's going on, Rat God may very well miss that the shards on the ground were starting to come back together on their own.

Rat God teleports out of the way of the swing.

"I just have to make your lives hell, so I get to be as unfair as I want!" She laughs maniacally, her appearance briefly shifting to a much more crazed-looking and menacing one◊ before quickly reverting.

Okay, lady, you have got to stop.

Not really paying attention to anything, she snaps her fingers, and a black hole materializes in the air, rapidly pulsing and pulling the shapes towards it with every beat of the chaotic song. Any that get caught in it will be chewed up and spat out.

"He's gearing up for war."

"Outer space..."

"So it's like those Pokemon..."

"Though it's weird that Hoopa would be against opening portals there when it had no problem opening portals to sp-"

Both Jessie and James flinch for a moment, their faces now filled with clawmarks. Then it sets in.

"AAAAH! My beautiful face!"

"EEEEEH! Meowth!"

Meowth blows a little breath on his claws before crossing his arms.

"Maybe next time you'll think twice 'bout throwing me into a fight without my consent.", he huffs. He then looks at Red.

"So it's lookin' like we might be running into a Missingno. eventually. Do you have any tips on what to do if we find one?"

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.

"Don't worry, she's really nice, if a little quirky! If it wasn't for her, let's just say I probably would've turned out very differently here!"

Nicole begins launching a volley of Arcane Blasts to counter Pilly's lasers, ducking to avoid any that slip past her defense. After one hits her in the shoulder, though, she hisses in pain.

"Alright... are you sure you want me to go Draconic, kid?" she asks, her eyes turning a familiar reptilian green. "Because I don't wanna end up accidentally hurting ya."

---

"Please, you were released near the climax of our war with Galeem and Dharkon, and still managed to regain your usual role not too long afterwards," Loki replies, also watching the fight. "If you can recover from that, I suspect getting over this ought to be simple in comparison."

---

The cable successfully wraps itself around Mjolnir's head, resulting in Thor getting electrocuted by the ensuing plasma shocks. Surprised, to say the very least, he drops his hammer to the ground with an audible thud. Despite the literal and metaphorical shocks to his system, however, he still manage to grin at the recovering Linda.

"Well played, Linda! Should I ever lose a limb in battle, I now know exactly who to see about a replacement!"

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Mar 9th 2021 at 7:54:32 AM

"You what!?"

Before Green, or anyone else for that matter, could go off on Rat God, the black hole swiftly sucked them all in, despite their best efforts - and with the damage they'd already taken, and how fragile each of them were, it was just about enough to shatter each of them into a shower of colored shards. It would seem that Rat God was, in fact, done h-

"It's not over."

Whoop, seemed that Cyan had managed to reform right after the black hole stops. Though, he wasn't attacking, intent on simply being ready to dodge whatever was being thrown at him next.
