Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Angel nods in agreement. "I don't know who this master is, but I'm sure they've got lots to say. Lead the way."

It seems that she has ended up following them after all.

Perhaps this master will be able to fill her in on the details she's not quite had filled in yet. If what she suspects is true... then this conflict may be more of a danger than initially anticipated.

"Looks like we're splitting up."

"Well, you always know where to find me, Aqua."

Aqua looks at her Wayfinder charm. "That I do."

Terra leaves with Angel, and Aqua points her Keyblade at the sky and fires a beam of light that begins to open a portal.

"May the Force be with you both."

After bidding farewell to the departing Terra and Angel, Ben watches as Aqua begins opening a portal.

The portal widens, becoming a gateway to a desolate, barren landscape littered with ruined Keyblades,◊ stretching out as far as the eye can see. The only end to the horizon is provided by various rock formations that look like they were cut, smashed and blasted into their current shape, rather than naturally created.

Aqua simply jumps through the portal and lands in the middle of the field.

"I don't have fond memories of this place..."

Ben leaps through the portal after Aqua and lands beside her. He takes a good look around at the Keyblade Graveyard.

"It feels like I'm on Malachor V or Yavin..."

Walking over to the nearest group of Keyblades, he raises the one in his grasp and lodges it into the ground beside them, then bows his head.

"Whoever you were, I hope you at least managed to find peace in death. May the Force continue to guide your spirit."

He goes back over to Aqua's side.

"Thank you for giving me the chance to do this, Aqua. I know it mustn't have been easy for you to come back to this place," he says.

Aqua nods to Ben. "I would rather not talk about it... but really, I wanted to pay my respects as well."

She brandishes Master's Defender. "This belonged to our Master and mentor. Xehanort tricked Terra into murdering him, but in Xehanort's own last moments, his spirit emerged to bring them both to the afterlife."

She then plants the Keyblade in the ground. "Master Eraqus... if you're watching over our battles, please give us your blessings and hope."

After a few seconds, she pulls it out and returns through the portal, wordlessly.

Quietly watching as Aqua pays her respects to her and Terra's fallen master, Ben follows her through the portal back to Sky Haven Temple. Upon arriving, he gently places a hand on her shoulder.

"Your master sounds like he was a good man. If it means anything, I suspect Eraqus would be proud of both you and Terra despite everything that's happened."

"Thank you, Ben."

Aqua cracks a small smile.

Ben smiles back at Aqua.

"Now come, I say we've earned ourselves a chance to meditate in peace after all that's happened."

Gesturing for her to follow, he walks off towards the temple's sleeping quarters.

Right outside whiterun

A man exits his tent, picking up a scythe as he does so. He yawns, before looking out to the sunrise.

Sanji walk up behind him.

Surprise, MOTHERFUCKER! He says, before trying to kick him in the back of the head.

Argalia, sighing, quickly moves his scythe into a defensive position, beginning to vibrate, attempting to block the strike.

   "My my! If you didn't announce your attack, you may have landed a heavy blow there. Although it is a bit rude to sneak up on someone."   

Argalia turns around as he moves his scythe into a position to ready himself to attack. Vibrations would likely be felt through sanji's body.

   "Do I know you? Or is there a reason you just had the brilliant idea of attacking someone you don't know from behind?"

Your hair reminds me of a dish done poorly, and for that, I must kick you!

Sanji does feel the vibrations, but prepare another kick, spinning around and using his Haki to see into the future and predict a potential block or dodge. Then, he'll immediately change his kick's path before the strike, so as to try to land a successful kick. He's aiming for the ribs right now, but can strike the head, arm or legs.

If the blow is blocked in some major way, Sanji add Armament Haki to his leg, bolstering his already great strength.

Argalia nods to the upcoming attack, replying with... A slash of his scythe, aimed for the lower torso, followed up by an attempt at a block for a followup...

TRAILS OF BLUE

Die on this page, and the attack/combo clashing with it, are unaffected by strength gain or loss (Buffs or debuffs to outright power or accuracy)

8-17 slashing (Rolled 15) 5-9 Block (rolled 7)

Following this, Argalia brings his scythe to block another upcoming attack, or at least, reduce the damage, chaining the movement into a slash, and a strike from the pole of the scythe...

And the vibrations inside his foes body are exploited.

Lone fixer (Among other things) Gain 3 strength if no allies are present Resonance Something something buff from vibrations, but not adding that in.

Fun fact about boss fight argalia, he has a lot of self buff potential Argalia gains some buffs when fighting alone, Gains buffs from vibrations...

When using a melee Combat page, if the difference between this character's Speed and the target's Vibration is 1 or less, all dice on the page gain +2 Power. At the start of the Act, draw 2 pages.

Resonant scythe: Argalia’s Exclusive Page; If Speed is equal to target's Vibration, all dice on this page gains +4 Power

5-8 block (Rolled 13 because vibrations ) 5-8 slash (nat roll 6, rolled 15 due to strength and vibrations) 5-7 blunt (nat roll 6, 15 with buffs)

"Strange, for a chef, you seem to hesitate to draw blood, or use a weapon. Although oddly, not hesitant to assault someone over their hair."

The Blue reverberation enters battle

No more dice after this.

Sanji block or deflect the attacks with his legs, seemingly going blow for blow with an actual scythe without much issue. He uses his own Haki to negate the vibrations.

I need my hands for the cooking. Anyway, CONCASSE! Sanji goes for a brutal sweeping strike at the legs. Regardless of success, he then leaps above his enemy, and start to pummel away with a powerful barrage of kicks, aiming to tenderize him with sheer blunt force trauma.

Hachis Parmentier!

Argalia, sighing, attempts to move out of the way of the attacks, taking some glancing hits, as he makes another series of swings with his scythe, aiming for his target's hands, grinning as he notices a psychological weakness in his foe.

"I met a proclaimed chef before. They had the spirit, but they lacked... sane ingredients. Do you know how many people would give up having perfectly uninjured hands for better tools, or ingredients which aren't often rotten? And you're worried about your hands."

Sanji receives some blows but does well at preventing anything lethal from coming his way. His hands remains unharmed as he leap above the scythe and attempts to kick it down into the ground by attacking the handle, before trying to kick his enemy in the torso multiple times over with a leg lit ablaze, setting him on fire if he hit!

Hm? No! I need to prevent my hands from getting all grimed up. I don't fear injuries. He says, before trying to send him flying with a potent kick to the stomach.

Argalia nods, as he attempts to maneuver his scythe away from the incoming blows, opening himself up to a few strikes... being set ablaze.

"Then you are dedicated to your art. I see. More so than most chefs in the city I come from. That is at least admirable, outside of your tendency for assault."

However, Argalia begins taking things a bit more seriously, trying to evaluate his foe's movement, going on the defensive for now

Hub Centralis

An average height woman clad in purple was lurking around in the night, trying to evade conversation.

She was carrying a fan, and was using it to hide her face.

She also had moon imprints on her cheeks, very odd.

Hub Centralis

Near where she is, Nacho, one of the musicians, was walking lost around the city.

Hmmm... Where could be the amusement park?

North of Skyrim

Samaleel is chilling out somewhere deep in a snow forest, apparently sleeping. She's observed, through golden binoculars, by Lacia!

Northern Skyrim

Leesarix comes hurtling down foot-first towards Lacia like a meteor, creating an explosion of wind and rock on impact. There is no trickery, no silent approach, no warning. Only incoming death.

Lacia is struck like a meteor, and is sent reeling into a crater. Samaleel wakes up, though she obviously was not sleeping, and look around in a daze, confused.

Meanwhile, Lucia emerges from her hidey hole by trying to blast Leesarix with a huge light wave!

Leesarix stumbles back from the light, but responds by throwing orbs of a light that burns. An unnatural, sun-like light.

For good measure, he rushes in with a simple brutish shoulder tackle as well.

Lacia emerges, bleeding from the forehead, and uses her sixth sense technique to dodge these and the shoulder-bash by flipping over him. While doing so, she tries to stab him through the back with a fiery sword!

Hear hear, villain! Why are thou making an attack on us?!

Samaleel hears Lucia and get worried, approaching fast.
