Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Mythra sees it before it happens. She's always looking out for immediately pressing future events, and this was... certainly one of them.

"Everyone get down!", she shouts, throwing both her arms out wide. A far more vast version of her natural blade shield envelops the immediate area, shielding herself, Pyra, Zoro, and the fellow(s?) looking for their box. The bombardment from above smashes into the barrier, but she is a fortunately small target, and the barrier holds.

Pyra forms her own barrier, a smaller one, only large enough to shield herself. It ends up being unnecessary.

"There's a ship... ships, overhead. Spacefaring vessels... of some kind. Mythra, can you identify them?"

Mythra looks up and takes a structural analysis of the nearest ship, before she shakes her head. "I can only analyze physical details. These definitely don't belong to anyone we've run into before. I'll transfer you the specifications I can discern."

Pyra frowns. "Indiscriminate bombardment. What kind of monsters would do this."

Mythra puts a hand against her head, focusing. "I should be able to bring in some help. Don't get caught unaware, I need some time to establish a link"

The trip was long, but finally Catalina and the 2 Mavericks arrived to the Insect Ladies base, located within a secret room in the sewers.

   "Welcome to our base! Maybe isn't the cleanest place in the Arena, but it's our home. We are planning to move our base to another site. Make yourselves a home here."   

Whiterun

Thank you! It's our toy box. (Beat) It's very important for us.

And don't worry for the meat, our town has the best meat in the Arena.

In this moment, the bombardment occurred, and the brothers hides behind the corner of a street, waiting for anything.

"Nice," notes Morph Moth as she looks around for a pile of scrap or a pile of sweaters to snack on.

"Don't mind her," said Commander Yammark as she's nonchalant about her partner's quirks. " She's a moth. She pron't hasgressed past her larval state in area somes... some areas"

" I, uh, h-heard that."

Whiterun

Dragonsreach, Bedroom

Terra is shaken by the explosions and commotion from outside. "What is this...?"

The Sith Lord Jobak◊ walks into the room.    "We are attacking this city."   

He looks at Aqua's unconscious body.

• Ooh, fresh meat! (Attack)
• Get out of here.

   "I see you have someone with you... I will give you a head start if you wish to flee."   

"That won't be necessary. I will stand and fight."

   "A shame. Now I have to kill you."    Jobak draws his lightsabers, and Terra summons his Keyblade.

"I've fought bigger Sith."

Sith Tempest

Izawano exited the building, looking up to the blackened sky full of dreadnoughts◊. The Jawa's silent gaze is soon affixed to Blackbeard, motioning the massive pirate over to him. If he came, the Jawa would begin to speak in Jawaese, certainly absolute gibberish to the pirate as he motioned upward toward the ship.

Fighters◊ begin to fly lower toward the city, circling it like vultures to the dead.

Soon following it is several personnel shuttles◊, landing not too far outside the city. Although one breaks course, heading straight for inside the ruined city's walls.

The shuttle opened up, Tenzen and Ranus stepping out, shortly followed by the large group of twenty Centurions. As they emerged from the shuttle, Wrustoiz came out from the ruined Bannered Mare.

Ranus locks his gaze onto the Sith,

"Laxin wants prisoners Wrustoiz, and you're on the top of his list."

Wrustoiz chuckled,

   "I suspect neither of you can handle me."   

Tenzen remained silent, eyeing the other combatants as they approached. This was more than was expected to survive the initial bombardment, but the Empire was prepared. The walls of the city shook once more, strange walkers◊ crawling over the edges, training their massive blaster cannons on the group from all angles.

"There is no show match, no duel, no fight. You will all surrender, or we only take one of you alive. Either way, we get exactly what we want."

   "We shall see."   

The Sith Lord shot his hands outward, unleashing a terribly powerful force storm in all directions, managing to avoid his allies. The droids atop the wall are temporarily disabled, which should give the fighters above plenty of room to move for awhile.

The Centurions leap forward, igniting their lightsaber pikes and rushing toward Pyra and Mythra. Zeloai leaps into action from nowhere, slicing a pair of the Centurions in twain.

"Come on! Our time to fight is now."

Wrustoiz draws his twin blades from his belt, igniting the two silver blades. He flourished them, Tenzen drawing her violet double-bladed saber, and Ranus drawing his single red. The trio engaged in a beautiful dance of color, Wrustoiz on the defensive blocking blow after blow.

Izawano is nowhere to be found, having disappeared entirely.

18 Sith Centurions

Sith Lord Tenzen

Zehahahahaha! Speak English! I can't get what you're saying otherwise! He says, before looking at one of the Dreadnoughts. He briefly focus and then look down at the Jawa.

You want me to pull it down? Alright, but I get to add it to my float! That fair?

Meanwhile, Zoro frowns when exposed to the destruction, and look at everything happening around him. Thanking Pyra and Mythra with a nod, he wield his three swords and then observes everything happening. When the Force Storm come up, his eye briefly glow red and he leaps out of the way: He's had enough of being blasted by lightning for one lifetime.

Tsk! Like I care to fight some cannon fodder! Zoro immediately leaps ahead with a powerful Rengoku Oni Giri, manifesting as a potent X-shaped slash with his two hands-swords, with a decapitating strike on the mouth-blade. He tries to carve his way through the Centurions with it, but since he's imbued his blades with Haki, they're tough enough that if not stopped, he'll directly try to hit Ranus with it!

I'm fighting you, Leader Guy! He says, before promptly trying to slice him to ribbons with a series of potent yet skillful strikes from his swords. They do not appear to have much troubles facing down Lightsabers, at least with Haki on them. If anything, they seems to be individually stronger than a regular one!

Whiterun, Dragonsreach

A certain young Jedi hurries into the room, his sapphire-blue lightsaber at the ready as he stands against Jobak alongside Terra.

"I would run back to Laxin if I were you."

Outside

Warrick lowers his helmet's Rangefinder, pressed low to the ground at the outskirts of Whiterun. "I knew this would happen sooner or later... the escaped captive was just one more slight."

Jedi Knight Raeii◊ is there with him.

• Every man for himself!
• We have to help!

"It would be wrong to abandon those who would help us to their fates."

"You think I don't know that? Morals ain't enough here."

Raeii opts to appeal to self-preservation. "Listen, Warrick. They definitely know you're on our side. If they kill everyone else, they'll target you next."

"So? I can run forever, they ain't catchin' me."

Cue Face Palm. "They totally are. Now let's work together on this."

"I'd rather have Terra at my back than you."

"I can go get him, then."

"Fine, do it."

Raeii stands up and runs towards the fight, drawing his twin yellow lightsabers. He does a Force Leap slash at one of the walkers, then leaps up and slams down a lightsaber, creating a shockwave to try and blow away any other surrounding forces in order to clear a path.

Siege of Alderaan

Dragonsreach

   "It's a bit claustrophobic here, don't you think?"   

—

Things quickly move towards the main hall of Dragonsreach. Jobak yeets an entire table at Terra with the Force. The Keyblade wielder leaps forward and cleaves through it, only to be blasted back by a torrent of Force Lightning, sending him hurtling through the air. He manages to break free and absorb the lightning with an orb of darkness.

   "Oh...?"    mutters an intrigued Jobak.

Then he casts Ragnarok, unleashing a barrage of light orbs at the Sith like meteors. Jobak simply calls down a Force Storm that cancels the projectiles.    "You may be powerful, but you're obviously inept when it comes to the arcane. Against someone trained in the Force exclusively, you're outmatched."   

He then turns to Ben.    "Care to take a shot?"

Catalina smiles: she had found new friends indeed.

   "Tell me about us. What are you doing in the Arena?"   

Whiterun

Asahi, the oldest of the brothers, dashes forward to sweep some centurions with a kick, trying to avoid their sabers.

Meanwhile, Uozumi, the youngest one, is doing a phone call.

Hi, Sofía?.. A group of freaks from a far away galaxy are attacking us... Yes, all your armament. Thank you, we are waiting you.

Insect Girls' Base

Morph Moth replies, "Well... We don't know, uh, to be honest. We just want to l-live peaceful, um, lives."

Commander Yammark just nods. She has nothing else to add.

Edited by josh6243 on Mar 21st 2021 at 12:26:20 PM

Mythra stays in place, concentrating on her attempt to bring some weapons of her own through to the arena. This leaves her wide open, but Pyra picks up the slack, moving with startling efficiency.

"I'm sorry, I can't leave you by yourself. You're too open, and there's too many of them!"

Mythra nods. The force lightning unleashed upon her is deflected adequately by Pyra, who steps in with her own shield before rushing to meet the centurions on the attack.

Pyra cuts down two centurians rushing towards Mythra, blocking a swipe from another to her left with her sword. The lightsaber staff doesn't cut through the sword instantly, but what it does hit for a prolonged time begins to slowly disform, dulling the physical part of Pyra's weapon.

"Thank you for the help!", Pyra shouts to Zeloai, giving a swift smile. Despite the pressing matter, she seems confident.

Ben flourishes his lightsaber, doing his best to remain calm in the face of his powerful Sith adversary.

"After everything we've been through to save her from the darkness, I'm not going to allow your master to claim Aqua," he says. "Now, let's settle this not through our knowledge of the Force, but through our skills with a lightsaber."

In a manner that Yoda would be proud of, he leaps towards Jobak and launches into a flurry of slashes, his blade a sky-blue blur.

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Apr 9th 2021 at 10:31:47 AM

Jobak stumbles back from Ben's initial strike, but he quickly recovers and parries the rest with his lightsabers before attempting to Force Push Ben away.    "I'm not as powerful as Laxin, but I'm getting there. You have little hopes of stopping me."   

The area grows cold and frost starts creeping onto the interior walls. However, Jobak looks around in confusion, suggesting he's not responsible for this. He holds out a hand and notices snow forming in his palm...

The walkers whirr back to life, beginning to unleash fire from all sides at all the fighters. They would have to be dealt with quickly, or it spelt disaster for everyone present. Raeii manages to take down one walker, and force another to be briefly stunned.

The Jedi forces a few centurions out of the way, leaving them wide open to attack. The wall of Whiterun shakes violently as a portion of it explodes, revealing more Centurions and walkers pouring into the city at an increasing rate.

Izawano◊ reappeared atop Blackbeard's shoulder, giving the pirate a stern nod. He draws his emerald green blade, deflecting any income blaster fire from the walkers aimed for Blackbeard. The Jawa motions to a shuttle outside of the wall, more Centurions and walkers pouring out from it.

Ranus◊ disengages from Wrustoiz to block the flurry of blows, and while the Sith may have struggled, he ultimately escaped from Zoro's blades unscathed. Wrustoiz◊ took the opportunity to push his advantage, unleashing a savage combo against Tenzen◊, then kicking her sternly in the gut to push her back.

Wrustoiz looks to Zoro,

   "I appreciate the assistance but I can handle these two, those droids are going to annihilate us if someone doesn't take them down. The infantry are more impor-"   

Ranus leaped at Wrustoiz, interrupting him and forcing the pair into a deadly dance of white and red. Tenzen leaps back into the fray against Wrustoiz, the trio once again turned into an entrancing blur of moving color.

Zeloai◊ gave a brief nod, deactivating a single blade of his twin-saber, swapping to a single-bladed stance briefly to slash through another few Centurions. He reactivated the second blade to block an oncoming barrage of blaster fire from the walkers.

Asashi managed to dodge the pikes and trip up one of the Centurions, the Imperial landing harshly onto the ground. Although they reacted quickly, swiftly attempting to get back up and slash into the older brother.

Pyra was rushed by a trio of Centurions, hoping to use the sheer number to overwhelm the woman and take her down. Zeloai is too preoccupied to help her this time, even the Jedi Master briefly overwhelmed by the precision and number of blows.

Ben is thrown back by Jobak's Force Push, and he crashes into a nearby wall. As he rises to his feet, the young Jedi looks around at the newly-formed frost, and immediately realizes what's going on.

"I think I'm beginning to like my odds, Jobak!" he retorts, pointing his lightsaber at the Sith Lord. "So allow me to amend that statement: you have little hopes of hauling us before Laxin, dead or alive!"

   "What... is this...?"   

Terra smirks. "He's right! You claim we can't match your control of the Force? That may be true... but she can!"

A woman covered in full-body armor◊ appears in a cascade of magical sparkles, then summons her Keyblade◊.

Aqua

   "Ah, I see. This must be your Master."    Jobak clasps his hands together and spreads them out, creating an arcing torrent of Force Lightning. He seems to be setting up for that explosive blast he used during the mission to rescue Raeii...

until Aqua one-ups him. "You stay the hell away from my friends. TERAFLARE!"

She grips her Keyblade with both hands, raises it high, and a giant fucking death laser rips through the roof, along with a Sith warship overhead, and drops on Jobak. It continues to blast down upon him with no signs of letting up, as he screams in pain.

"... That's going to explode. We need to get outside!" Terra attempts to grab Ben and fly out of Dragonsreach.

Raeii spins his sabers to deflect any shots headed his way as he approaches Dragonsreach... until the Teraflare hits. Then he promptly backpedals away from it.

Warrick's jaw drops underneath his helmet. "What... the..."

More of them, she thought, acting on a very, very long time's accumulated instinct. Doubtless were the centurions skilled, but she had been fighting for longer than their reality existed... probably

"Empty Moment!"

She shouts, the area around her turning frigid cold in an instant as she vanishes, moving so quickly as to become almost imperceptible. She cuts the centurions in half with horizontal slashes, all more powerful than any she had used before.

She stopped where she started, taking a moment to observe the brief carnage she had caused, but she had not a moment to relax, as she was forced to rush to Mythra's side, the walkers on the sidelines forcing her in place with their volleys of fire. As long as they persisted, she couldn't get any opening!

Her attention was briefly taken by the beam of light striking dragonsreach. For a moment, she is confused, Mythra hadn't yet succeeded in bringing over any help, so where did that come from? Answers had to wait, however, as she continued to focus.

... Zehahahahaha! There might be too many enemies! I'm going to need some time! Buy me some, little squirrel, and I'll wipe the board clean!

Blackbeard leans forward as darkness begins to cover him, forming a small whirlpool of it above him. Meanwhile, he smash the air with both his fists, creating white cracks over the air.

I'm still amazed at just how much destruction I can unleash! What a fool! For him to misuse this power that badly! He gloats. The ground begins to quake, as the cracks slowly spread.

He beholds the beam and chuckle. Looks like some of us are having fun as well!

GURA GURA NO MI: 1/3

...

Tsk! I'm a Swordsman! I fight other swordsmen but... He glances at the mechs. Blast it!

Zoro leans forward and raise one arm while lowering the other, putting his leg forward and twisting his hips a little before he spins and send a freaking mini-tornado at the closest gathering of mechs, with the tornado perhaps gathering troops and other mechs because of its sheer windy power!

TATSUMAKI!

Then, he leaps at said tornado once it has gathered enough enemies and spin his two swords in front of him, before unleashing forth a potent whirlwind of attacks all over them! This does destroys the tornado, though! He lands and observes the beam, before smirking.

..... Heh, decent.

Edited by Bolded1 on Mar 21st 2021 at 8:59:36 PM

Ben watches in awe as the now-awakened Aqua completely overwhelms Jobak, the Sith whose mastery of the Force was only eclipsed by the likes of Laxin and Palpatine.

"By the Force..."

As such, he doesn't resist when Terra grabs him and flies them both out of Dragonsreach.

To Sarah

"Yeah but out of a... universe? I guess you can punch through dimensional planes if you manipulate the forces involved just right, but a universe?"

"... Actually. Do they have a healing factor? If they ever leave the Arena, I might be able to snipe them. You know, as an assassin instead of a fighter. ... I can understand if you want to settle things more with you guys being personally involved, tho."

To Aleifr

"Says you, the physical laws of my universe perfectly account for all of my abilities. And... fair enough, I guess. Would they really be able to focus on that with all the monsters around them, though? ... I guess it doesn't matter, the possibility is enough to make it too much of a risk."

"See ya, guy."

   "A peaceful life... Well, here in the Arena it's something difficult to reach because it's, well, an Arena."   

She chuckles, and then sighs.

   "Each one of us are a misfit of the society. And even more since we got our powers. Bugs like us aren't well seen... But we choose to use our powers to protect life in this place, and bring to everybody the peaceful life that you wish."   

   "By the way, I'm the second-to-last newest member of the group. Before you, Mukade, the centipede, joined. She's the youngest."   

Whiterun

Uozumi, after ending his call, dashed to the centurion attacking his brother, trying to grab him and stop his attack. If succeeds, Asahi will dash behind him to avoid being attacked further. If don't, he will result seriously hurted.

...

Meanwhile

Pato, my brother, if your mecha weren't so slow, we could have arrived a while ago.

Pato answers inside his robot, looking akin to a zombie from "Plants vs. Zombies".

Sorry, Sofía. We are almost there. Trust in the Mecha-Zombie.

The Avenger - Bridge

Laxin looked down on Whiterun, a concentrated gaze fixed on the battle. All seemed to be going well enough until the Terraflare completely ripped through a dreadnought. Laxin's concentration broke,

   "HOW?!"   

His dumbfounded expression soon turned sour, the Emperor gritting his teeth and slamming his hand straight through a console. He continued to watch the fight below, Blackbeard's encompassing aura caught Laxin's attention, and so did Zoro's tornado. Much more resistance than expected, but nothing that couldn't be handled it seemed.

He turned to face the deck crew,    "Release Cargo bay four, immediately."   .

He paused for a moment,

   "Prep my shuttle, I only know of one being capable of creating such a blast."   

Izawano continued to deflect blaster shots, disabling some droids completely with the precision of his lightsaber's defensive capabilities. Izawano shouted

"OOTINI!"

He leaped from Blackbeard, swiftly decapitating two Centurions that were poised to hit the Pirate. Although this left him open very briefly to some blaster fire from the walkers until Izawano leaped back onto the massive man and continued defending him.

Zoro's tornado tore through a massive chunk of droids, and while there was still blaster fire, Mythra should now have an opening! She would have to move quickly though, more infantry began to close in at a rapid pace.

A Centurion sneaks up on Raeii, attempting to swiftly dispatch of him whilst he is distracted. Zeloai is struggling to keep up with the Centurions striking at him, the Jedi Master slowly running out of breath.

Wrustoiz, Ranus, and Tenzen have moved far enough away that Zoro's tornado had zero effect on their battle, the trio still managing to keep up their intense speed. Tenzen manages to clip Wrustoiz on his helmet's faceplate, disorienting him enough for Ranus to slash into his chest.

Wrustoiz's Beskaar armor prevented him from being completely dead, but he was soon thrown onto his back by a stern burst of force lightning. The Sith Lord was laid flat against the ground, struggling to stand.

Tenzen attempted to swiftly close the gap, attempting to cleave his right arm off.

Uozomi is able to stop the Centurion, briefly holding the Imperial's arms back long enough for his brother to escape. This does not save them from a now oncoming barrage of blaster fire though. Regardless of if it hits them or not, the Centurion in front of them will be slain.

The Teraflare explodes in a giant mushroom cloud of blue light, utterly demolishing Dragonsreach.

Jobak rises from the rubble, sputtering and wheezing. He doesn't seem insulted or angered, though - quite the opposite, in fact.    "Amazing..."   

Aqua, meanwhile, suddenly appears at Terra's side, though she drops to one knee quickly after, her Keyblade armor dispersing. "That... took a lot out of me."

"You just recovered from a long time in the darkness. You shouldn't strain yourself so hard."

Raeii rushes towards the Sith, doing a big sweeping double-slash at both Tenzen and Ranus.

A shimmery black object comes hurtling out of Laxin's ship like a meteor, crashing into the ground in an explosion of red.

"Ben, go help the others. Whatever this is, Aqua and I can handle it." Terra, naturally, rushes over to be the first responder.

—

There he sees a terrifyingly spiky form,◊ with a metallic luster over its body, burning red eyes, and spikes that emit a smoky red light from their bases.

The monster speaks.

   "You... are strong."   

"What of that?"

Ruiner Nergigante shakes itself. It discharges its fully-grown spikes, which build up with an ominous glow before exploding into slicing shrapnel.    "I eat the strong. And I am very hungry."

Zehahahahaha! Don't worry! The blasters aimed for the small Jedi instead are diverted into Blackbeard's black hole, though as a result, it's unwise for him to jump back into the action.

You're speedy though! Would you mind joining my crew? Oh, and when I say it, jump unto my shoulders! Or else... He laughs, again.

Gura Gura: 2/3

...

Hmph! Zoro notices Blackbeard charging up and decide to run at Mythra. Hey! You! Raise a shield again! That fat guy could doom us all if he fire his move! As he speaks, he tries to cut down the centurions pressuring Zeloai, and then fire a potent wind blade at the closest group of bad guys!

Catch your breath. I'm taking care of these guys! He warns, before attempting to cleave a goon in half. His eye glows red, as a sign that he's trying to assess any surprise attack on him or his closest allies, though he's not skilled enough to see beyond.

The Kazuro brothers blasted away from the blaster fire, not too far from the battlefield.

In this moment, Sofía and her brother arrives: she flying in her jetpack, he riding his 3-meter tall mecha-zombie.

I hope it's not too late.

She gave to the brothers a laser saber each, a weapon created by Sofía, based fittingly in the lightsabers of the enemies. Altough not so strong and resistent like the the real things, will make the cut for a while. The brothers and Sofía then goes charging against the centurions, swiping their sabers.
