Enter The Arena As Your Avatar -- The Spinoff!

Narktus creates more and more walls of stardust, assembling them into a panel formation.

"Yes, it's my fault this is happening. But unlike you, I'm willing and able to prevent unnecessary deaths."

The panels suddenly expand, covering the whole of Skyrim like a blanket.

... Except Fleetway's position.

"The pirate is correct," says Doom, using the Cosmic Power Siphon at a distance to try and maintain his Super state and weaken Fleetway. "You could not possibly hope to pin him down before. You have no chance now."

Sonic is just lying there out in the open.

Triandra sighs.    "Nightmares are simply a kind of dream. Their opposite is a pleasant dream, and the space in between is either completely mundane or surreal nonsense."   

Peony looks over hopefully. "Triandra, can we stay and help?"

   "Sure, fine."   

"Yay! I love helping! And talking!"

"I don't know how much time Lilith will give us to ourselves," notes Refia. "So I say we go right to her and beat her up now."

Tournament of Power Stage, The Wash

Callis sits atop the central pillar of the tournament stage, staring wistfully at the ground below.

Edited by KiriK on Jan 27th 2022 at 6:40:46 AM

"... and if we lose?", PC!Areui asks, now sitting a little less casually in his chair and looking more serious.

Run away, everybody! I'm a water dragon! I'll survive this! Corrin attempts to impale Yato through Fleetway Sonic's left feet before wrapping his tail around his leg and hunkering down one last time, closing his eyes shut.

Don't you dare say nonsense like this, boy! You can't survive the impact!

... Well it does not matter then! I'll die, but everybody else will live. That's a fine compromise.

Whitebeard groans, and look at the Tsunami. For a moment, he thinks of testing his strength against it... but he couldn't gather the necessary strength in time. Instead, he decides to stand firm and point his Bisento at it, though he doesn't stand in front of Fleetway Sonic, instead to the side.

If we had attacked the damn critter instead of arguing about like brats...

...

Thunder echoes behind Callis, but the Thor behind her isn't the one she's familiar with.

ADMIRING THE SITE OF ONE OF YOUR HARDEST BATTLES, SAIYAN?! AH, HOW I REGRET NOT PARTICIPATING IN IT! Thor drops a large monster's severed eyeball, it's the size of a house. WE SHOULD DO A GLORIOUS REMAKE WITH DOUBLE THE CAST, DOUBLE THE REWARD, DOUBLE THE VIOLENCE!

Edited by Bolded1 on Jan 27th 2022 at 7:37:27 PM

Somewhere, a few days in the past

Other!Edelgard sits in a room much too large for her and the other person with her. It is a military strategy room, intended for an audience of dozens, certainly not the two total people present.

Sat to her side is, of course, Other!Hubert◊, looking exactly as edgy as always.

"It seems exactly what you feared has come to pass. We have a situation on our hands that cannot be resolved with merely words."

Edelgard's expression remains relatively unflinching. "It was only a matter of time. The moment I entered the arena, it was practically inevitable that they would find a way there too- I was hoping that keeping a low profile would prevent this entirely."

Hubert examines the device closer. It is a machine displaying a crude 3d map of a large swathe of the cosmos- and upon it, readings for the integrity of timespace. Exactly 22 hours in the past, a large spike was detected in a location that Hubert had known corresponded with a base belonging to what was currently their greatest enemy.

He smiles, slightly.

"Of course, they had no way of knowing we were already in the process of spying on their every action. I would call it lamentable, but they deserve no sympathy whatsoever."

Hubert laughs evilly. "If we act quickly enough, they won't have the chance to make a report on what left their carefully crafted plan in utter ruins."

Edelgard nods. "Then it is settled. Considering how spread out our forces are, we'll have to do it ourselves. Are you ready?"

"I assure you that when we are done, they will be as dust beneath our feet."

Throat of the World, The Arena, current time

Other!Edelgard and Other!Hubert look up the mountain. At its very top, a fell shadow begins to brew, expanding across the sky.

"That's about as good of a sign as I expected."

"A darkness falling over the sky... the telltale sign of the work of Solon. I'd expected something more subtle. Worst case scenario, a trap waits for us up there already."

Edelgard clenches both of her fists.

"Then I'll make sure to be careful. Hubert, give me cover!"

Callis turns to face the approaching GW!Thor, eyes dull and half-lidded.

"If you know about that tournament, you'd also know I exploded there, right? That wasn't exactly fun."

She rolls over onto her belly. "I just came here to think."

Throat of the World

Kirrey is on the scene with his Order of Heroes! "Well now, another Edelgard and Hubert?"

He snaps his fingers, beckoning Brave Edelgard◊ and Fallen Edelgard◊. "Either of you know her?"

Fallen Edelgard nods.    "We spoke once before."   

Brave Edelgard looks at Other!Edelgard. "What's the situation here?"

Edited by KiriK on Jan 27th 2022 at 1:45:45 PM

Gengar snarls at his attacks being totally blocked, before noticing the incoming WAVE.

"Gneg?"

It whisps higher into the air, before extending its arms at Super Sonic and trying to help pin him down with Telekinesis.

A BLAZE OF GLORY IS FITTING, IS IT NOT? AND AYE INDEED! I BEHELD THE TOURNAMENT! WHAT A FANTASTIC MEETING OF BRAWN AND SKILL! He looks at Callis, and frowns slightly.

WHAT A PATHETIC LOOK ON YOU, FRIEND! YOU LOOK LIKE A PITIFUL PUPPY, BEGGING TO BE LET IN DURING A COLD NIGHT! ARE YOU NOT AN EMINENT FIGHTER FROM A WARRIOR RACE? WHERE HAS THY SPIRIT WENT? Thor look around, as if literally searching for the spirit of Callis.

He looks for a long while, making it clear he's not metaphorical or just really committed to the bits. WAS IT A CRUSHING DEFEAT? POINT ME TO THE OFFENDER, THEN! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW I WOULD GLORIOUSLY FARE AGAINST A FOE CAPABLE OF PUTTING YOU IN SUCH A PITIFUL STATE OF MIND! He raises a bushy eyebrow.

...

Sandra teleports into the FE Reunion, using her electromagnetic power to cooly fly.

Yo! I guess you're here to kill the black sky thing?

Edited by Bolded1 on Jan 27th 2022 at 8:47:34 PM

Thor moves in front of Pseudo's monitor, just in case Axonn hadn't made his point clear enough. He then hurls Mjolnir at Fleetway Sonic's hand, hoping to pin his foe's arm with the hammer as he did with the Hulk during their brawl aboard Nick Fury's helicarrier.

"Hub is the least of your concerns right now!"

Wanda attempts to telekinetically grab hold of Fleetway Sonic and keep him pinned in place. With her other hand, she attempts to levitate regular Sonic to safety.

"I've got him, Axonn!"

"No," Callis sighs, "my spirit wouldn't be crushed by a fight. I already overcame that once. It's about the blond Thor and his friend Iris.

"As it turns out, Iris is Navitus - the creator of that staff that the Cyber Angels used to become machines until its power assimilated all but one of them into a giant monster. When she regained her memory, she ran off to a cave in the middle of nowhere. I found her for Blondie; she was hiding in a cave full of crystal grown from her body, hoping to seal herself there forever to protect everyone from her."

She rolls again onto her back, looking up at GW!Thor. "She was just so... depressed. It seemed impossible to get through to her with reassurance and kindness, so I did the Saiyan thing, and I tried to motivate her to act. Told her the weapons she made couldn't be dealt with by anyone other than herself, and presented a way to ensure that if the madness inside them overtook her, we could defeat her without killing her."

Edited by KiriK on Jan 27th 2022 at 2:33:32 PM

... NAVITUS? NAVITUS NAVIIIII... AH YES THE MADMAN IS A MADWOMAN? HOW DISSAPOINTING! I HAD ANTICIPATED THE MANIAC TO BE A TOWERING DARK GOD, NOT A LITTLE GIRL! Thor smack his head hard enough to create a shockwave, and observes Callis.

... AH YES AND THE SMALLER THOR BRIEFLY GOT HIS LIPS OFF HER BOOTS TO TELL YOU THAT IT WAS A FOOLISH PROPOSAL, AS HE SO OFTEN DOES, RIGHT? BUT IS THAT ALL? I THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT HIS STUPID OPINIONS! He widens his eyes in surprise, and put his hands on her hips. I HAD EXPECTED BETTER OUT OF YOU, CALLIS! SURELY MERE WORDS CANNOT DO MORE TO YOU THAN FORCES CAPABLE OF UNMAKING WHOLE WORLDS!

He shakes his head, in a disappointed dad manner. DID YOU AT LEAST DEPART WITH A PUNCH TO THE JAWS?

Edited by Bolded1 on Jan 27th 2022 at 9:37:21 PM

"I mean, I can't blame him, there were a lot of risks. Iris could be killed on accident, Middler might not want to use his power for that... but Blondie didn't just point that out. He got up in my face, yelled at me, acted all threatening."

She spreads her arms up to the sky. "It just felt like he was dismissing my idea as completely worthless. And the way he talked, too... It was as if he was trying to be some kinda knight in shining armor, 'no one dares lay a hand on my lady!'-type.

"Setting aside the fact that those two aren't even a thing, sometimes you just have to fight the people you care about to prevent them from hurting themselves or others. That doesn't have to be a last resort if you know it'll work."

Sitting up, she finally answers, "No. He was still my friend, and I'm not gonna just attack my friend for hurting my feelings. But since he clearly didn't value my input, I left him to deal with the problem on his own."

BAH! LET HIM CRAWL TO SOMEONE ELSE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM, AS HE SO OFTEN DOES! YOUR SOLUTION AND LOGIC ARE SOUND: YES, SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO FIGHT THOSE YOU LOVE TO PROTECT THE REST! IT IS A HARSH TRUTH YOU KNEW AND HE DIDN'T! He then laughs. BUT WITH THE WAY HE'S SO QUICK TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE WOMAN HOWEVER, THE LITTLE FOOL MAY AS WELL SUFFOCATE HER TO DEATH ANYWAY! HAH!

He then frowns, after at first smiling. DISAPPOINTING! WHEN I BECOME EMBROILED IN A CONFLICT WITH MY FRIENDS... WE FIGHT! He hit his own chest. WE FIGHT A LOT! BUT HERE WE DO SO TO RELEASE OUR FRUSTRATION! WORDS ARE FOR PUSSIES! LET OUR FISTS CARRY OUR MESSAGE, OUR RESENTMENT, OUR BITTERNESS! HERE IS A LETTER ONLY READ BY THOSE FLUENT IN VIOLENCE!

UPON THE SMALL THOR'S RETURN TO YOU, CRAWLING FOR RECONCILIATION, YOU SHOULD PUN... AHHH WAIT! He stroke his beard. BAH! HE WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT RUN BACK TO HIS FRIENDS TO COMPLAIN! PERHAPS YOU SHOULD CUT LOOSE ON SOMEONE ELSE?!

Edited by Bolded1 on Jan 27th 2022 at 9:49:52 PM

KiriK

Refia shrugs. Evidently, she didn't think that far ahead.

"I'm not even that angry, though," says Callis. "Just... vaguely upset. I don't want a fight, I just wanna clear my head."

She huffs. "I guess a punch wouldn't hurt, but last I checked, he's on the other side of the Arena fighting an invincible monster. I'd be an asshole to teleport over and hit him before my feelings sort themselves out."

Def

Defense stands firm, smirking at Helryx. "I never said what I was doing was an attack. You go ahead and do your thing."

Azrael and Deus, both laughing wildly, lunge to grapple Fleetway and pin him down with sheer brute strength.

PC!Defense: "Megan. Megan has the power to keep Lilith at bay if we need to run."

HIT ME THEN! Thor grins and spread his arms.

I HAVE FOUGHT PLENTY OVER THE EONS, FROM JOTUNS TO DREAD JORMUNGANDR TO MIGHTY SARAH! COME! USE YOUR STRENGTH TO YOUR LIKING ON ME!

Callis rises to her feet, exhales, takes a long deep breath through her nose...

And lets loose.

"HaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Rapidly escalating through every stage of Super Saiyan she has, from first to Blue Evolution, she launches to punch Thor with all her strength, enough to genuinely hurt him like Sarah could!

Thor did not think that she'd just go to Blue like that and gets blown off his feet by the strike, spitting out blood with a confused bout of laughter.

   "Unlike us? We're literally helping you all fight him!"   , Hub calls out as Fleetway Super Sonic starts kicking him in the face, at least until he gets Corrin's Yato sticking through it, making him yelp in pain. His leg then gets constricted by Corrin's tail.

   "Well, I am, don't know about we."   , Mara grins at Hub as she suddenly moves out of the barrier, grabbing a hold of Fleetway Super Sonic's wrist, torso and head with her six arms. His final arm gets pinned by Mjolnir.

   "What're you doing!? You'll drown!"   , Hub says.

   "Eh, I've survived worse. Besides, I'm not going to let myself be outdone by dragon boy over here."   , she chuckles.

   "Hold on, what's this about drowning!?"   , Fleetway Super Sonic asks, looking alarmed. He quickly tries to force his way free with a burst of speed, but Wanda's and Gengar's telekinesis then takes effect, making it much harder for him to wriggle free from Corrin's, Mara's and Hub's grips. Together with his energy being siphoned, he's suddenly unsure if he can break free at this point. His eyes begin to glow red.

   "God damn you, let me GO!"   

He's about to unleash an explosive burst, but then Azrael and Deus also join the fray, and with this many people on him Fleetway is now completely incapable of escaping.

"Excellent.", Axonn says when Wanda ensures Sonic will be fine too, returning to the safe zone as well.

As for Doom's barriers, they would cover a lot of ground. But not everywhere would it be able to hold out and prevent destruction. Thankfully the populated areas would end up being fully protected. But that doesn't mean everyone is safe...

Folgunthur

Peeking out of the entrance when he hears some rumbling is Basil◊.

"W-what's going on?", he mutters as he starts looking around. Then he sees a shadow cast over the area, looks up and sees the tsunami that's about to engulf him. The boy pales in fear and tries to run, to no avail.

But-

"Oh Hochi Mama Hold On Tight Berdly I Don't Want To Have A Wet CPU"

Queen◊ passes by in her hovering chair with Berdly◊ hanging onto it. Basil sees them and holds out his hand.

"H-hey! Wait! Please help me!"

Berdly looks back at him.

"A human? Ah, here!"

He holds out the hilt of his halberd, which Basil grabs onto. Berdly pulls him onto the chair's side with him and the three speed off as they try to stay ahead of the tsunami.

—

Dead Men's Respite

Leander◊, Sonia◊ and Thaddeus◊, who were on a small trip together, get taken by surprise when the gigantic waves suddenly appear and threaten to drown them. Leander and Sonia pale, but Thaddeus reacts swiftly, pointing his spear at the waves and channeling the power of his Divine Guardian.

"HAH!"

The silhouette of a gigantic, watery creature forms around the three Shinigami, and the tsunami now actively moves around them as to not hit them. Leander and Sonia sigh in relief.

"That was close."

—

The Lord Stone

Perfect Cell◊, seeing the tsunami coming, laughs and creates a barrier around himself while crossing his arms.

He seems to underestimate just how powerful the pull on this tsunami is, because even with the barrier he still gets swept along right after.

It doesn't help that Portuguese Dodoria◊, who got swept along half a minute earlier, gets smacked into his barrier along the way, breaking it and sending them both spiraling into the depths of the tsunami.

"OOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Even when underwater, Portuguese Dodoria finds time to sing the song of his people.

-

Judge◊ stands near the statue as well, chuckling as he prepares an epic counterplay. He flips a coin and calls tails. If it works, he'll be able to just stand there with no worries as the wave just crashes over him.

Beat

It's heads.

"... oh balls."

He proceeds to get swept along immediately. Surely Luxord must be feeling cathartic somewhere right now, even if he won't know why.

—

Dragon Bridge Overlook

Omori, Kel, Aubrey and Hero◊ are walking along, still searching for Basil, when they all pause.

"... guys? Do you hear that too?"

"Kinda. Sounds like my tummy when I'm hungry, but way bigger."

"... I have a bad feeling about t-"

Cue the wave coming towards them. Kel, Aubrey and Hero all screech in fear, while Omori is Omori.

They then get swept along in an instant, helpless and unable to escape.

Beat

Omori did not succumb.

-

Close by where the group just was, Scourge◊ is making a run for it too, the tsunami hot on his trail.

   "ShitshitshitshitshitshitSHIT!"   

Thanks to his speed, he actually manages to stay ahead of it.

—

Vague forest in Skyrim

Bell◊ and Seraphim◊ are running for their lives, with the latter holding onto Azathoth◊.

"Quickly! There's a cavern near here that we can hide in! I don't know if that'll be enough but it's our only chance!", Seraphim says.

The three find it just in time and hide inside. It ends up being one of the places that Narktus's barrier covers, meaning that they end up surviving.

—

Kjenstag Ruins

Zacharie◊ is flying away at top speed to get away from the incoming tsunami, holding onto a giggling and cheering Hugo◊, who's blissfully unaware and is having the time of his life.

—

Vague Cavern

The cavern that Ovarr◊, Psyco◊ and the others live in is one of the areas that ends up getting a barrier, meaning that they're safe. In fact, they don't even realize what's happening outside, as Ovarr just sleeps through the tsunami ravaging the area around the cavern while Psyco, still hard at work, just assumes Ovarr is snoring really loud.

—

Palace of the Kings

Thanks to a barrier protecting the castle, the waves don't destroy it. Julius◊ walks out on the roof, surprised to see what's going on outside.

   "... perhaps we should invest in another castle. This one keeps getting attacked."   , he mutters.

—

Labyrinthian

"Now this is a bit too dangerous for my liking!", Darkwing Duck◊ says as he's making a run for it while looking at the tsunami that's about to engulf him. He then takes notice of something though: now emerging near the top of the waves is Kyogre◊, a powerful drizzle now following the tsunami as well.

"Then again...", Darkwing Duck grins, grabbing his hookshot and firing it at Kyogre's tail fins. It wraps around one of them right as the wave catches up to Darkwing Duck.

He doesn't let go of his hookshot, and thanks to that he would quickly find himself on top of the wave, still attached to Kyogre and basically water-skiing behind it. It looks both epic and ridiculous at the same time, but hey, it's Darkwing Duck, so it's part for the course.

"I hope this beastie doesn't mind non-paying passengers, because I forgot my wallet at home!"

—

Jeritza's Former Shack

The bois

Obese and Shadowman◊ have taken up residence in Jeritza's shack.

"Isn't it a lovely day today, Shadowman?", Obese asks, in a good mood.

"It definitely seems like it, sir.", Shadowman says, equally chipper. Obese walks to the windows, hands on the drapes.

"How about we go for a walk in the sunshine, hm?"

He opens the drapes and the music just cuts out instantly once they see the tsunami coming for them.

Beat

Obese closes the blinds and turns around.

"On second thought, how about a game of Scrabble?", he asks, now somehow holding the game box.

The wave instantly sweeps the shack away with them in it.

—

Whiterun

Darkness◊ has just left the city, having planned on going for a walk. A barrier springs up behind her that protects the city, making her pause and look back.

"Huh?"

She then looks back to the front and sees the massive tsunami advancing towards her, smashing through plains and mountains with no mercy.

Since this is Darkness though, she just looks ecstatic and opens her arms wide.

"YEEEEEEE-"

She proceeds to get swept away by the wave.

-

Inside of the city itself, Sothis◊ wakes up with a start upon hearing the sound of the waves crashing into the barrier and flowing past the sides of the city.

Still, she's too groggy to really see what's going on, and so she nods off again.

-

Ban◊, drunk off his ass, wanders outside the city as well, chuckling a little before he gets surprised by the tidal wave.

Thank god he's immortal, so he'll probably end up half-buried in some rocks somewhere not knowing how he got there when he's sober again.

—

Fort Dawnguard

An invisible barrier spreads over the fort, protecting it from the incoming tsunami.

Due to it being invisible though, it still gives Anna◊ the scare of her life when it looks like they're all going to be washed away, fainting from shock when the wave just seems to go around them.

—

Volunruud

At last, the moment had come. Preparations were finally complete. It had taken months... no, years. But now he's finally ready to conquer the Arena in the name of his glorious leaders' empire.

No more stalling! He opens the hatch to his secret base and jumps up onto the mainland along with his personal assistant.

"IT IS I, ZI-"

Invader Zim and Gir get swept away, Zim letting out a waterclogged "WHHYYYYYYY!" while Gir lets out a robotic little "WHEEEEEE!"

—

Vague Skyrim, nearing the battlefield

The cracked containment red chain orb housing Dialga◊ and Palkia◊ gets swept along as well. The impact of the wave damages the orb even further.

Scorched Battlefield

Scourge suddenly runs onto the battlefield, but halts when he sees what's going on: A bunch of people standing together in what seems to be a protective barrier, as well as another bunch of people piled up on top of... wait, is that Sonic?

Wait, is that another Sonic with the first group? That one's unconscious.

   "What the f..."   

The earth rumbles more violently now and he snaps out of his thoughts.

   "Oh, right! Sorry, peeps, but I am not sticking around to see how this one goes!"   

He laughs and runs off. Axonn just stares at where he was for a moment.

"Who was that guy?"

"That does not matter right now, Axonn. Narktus, brace yourself! We're going to need your barriers to last through this!", Helryx says.

The rumbling becomes even fiercer, and the wave can now be heard closing in. Fleetway Super Sonic tries to force himself free, using his full power for a speed burst. He actually manages to move forward somewhat despite everything that's holding him back...

But it's not enough.

A titanic, monstrous tsunami now bursts onto the battlefield, washing over the group near Narktus. It'll be very tough for Narktus to keep holding on, but he should be capable of doing so.

   "No no no no no no NO NO NO-"   

The wave then crashes onto the spot Fleetway Super Sonic is being held down in, flowing further and potentially dragging along everyone who wasn't protected by Narktus' barriers.

Mara, holding her breath, powers up to the level she had when fighting BVB, her dark aura now tinged with pink once more. She then plants her six arms into the ground in order to withstand the currents of the tsunami and goes on to cast barriers around the area, trying to catch as many of her allies as possible so that they don't get washed away into oblivion. She doesn't bother with Hub because he has extra lives anyway.

Corrin, Azrael and Deus may get caught by the barriers, and if they are, the barriers will move upwards and out of the water so that they won't drown. Mjolnir will get washed away, but that's okay, since Thor can just recall it to him afterwards.

Fleetway Super Sonic gets dragged along the waves helplessly, disappearing within the depths.

The wave lasts for a solid minute before it has fully passed them by, now leaving a damp, mostly destroyed battlefield behind. All of the fire that Fleetway Super Sonic had caused with his destruction is gone. Though looking around would show them that most of the area around the battlefield is now also gone. All of the trees, rock formations and uninhabited buildings have all been wiped off of the face of the earth.

The full power of a Toa's Nova Blast is a terrifying one. If the Arena did not regenerate itself over time, Helryx's single attack would have turned most of Skyrim into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.

With the wave now gone, Mara coughs up a ton of water. She's survived and has managed to hold on thanks to her having put her arms into the ground.

   "God... damnit, that is the third-most amount of seawater that I've ever had the displeasure to swallow."   , she says, now standing back up and looking a little dizzy.

   "Hey, everyone still alive?"   , she asks, looking around. The group near Narktus should all be perfectly fine.

As for Fleetway Super Sonic, there's currently no trace of him, leaving his current fate unknown.

"... wait, who's Megan?", PC!Areui asks, confused.

Hotel del Rey, Whiterun Outskirts

Rhea sees the incoming tsunami and immediately creates a full-powered wall of ki to stop it from reaching the hotel.

Space Battleship Yamato

Samus watches from the sky above. "Jesus..."

"Ah, yes, the barriers."

Narktus swipes his hand, and the panels of stardust merge into the tide itself, letting him take control of it. He grunts, eyes twitching and his whole body shuddering, before with a roar, he hurls all that water from all over Skyrim right into the sky, turning it into a gentle rain.

"Amazing..."

"I told you I could and would minimize civilian casualties."

Refia explains, "Megan is... um... someone Lilith wanted me to kill. You and I met shortly after I... failed to do that."

Oscar ponders, "How are we going to convince her to actually join us, though? She only agreed to the merc missions stuff because it was easy money for her."

"I'll handle it," answers Refia. "I want to be up front with her."

Vera glances nervously at her.

After the punch, Callis lands on her feet, exhales again, and instantly drops to base form. "... I think that did help. Thanks, big guy."

Whitebeard uses his impressive Advanced Armament Haki, Gura Gura No Mi and Conqueror's Haki to create a barrier of his own, holding it up to withstand his own portion of the Tsunami. He struggles really good while doing it, and if it hits, he's dead because he's a Devil Fruit user and they don't fare well in water. But he holds on his own, successfully carving out his own barrier until it passes.

Once it's gone though, he sighs angrily, having tired himself to do so, and walks to Helryx. If this turns out to be a fluke, I'm going to find whatever you have for an asshole and shove this- he points to the Bisento. -up it. Fair warning. He groans, contemplating the devastation. Then he looks up, and see Marco holding up the Moby Dick by himself far up in the air, though he's visibly straining and sweating.

Good kid.

...

Whiterun

Katakuri is eating donuts and drinking tea on the roof of a building he'd reinforced with his Haki, having seen the attack coming in advance and waiting it out.

...

Shepherd Fort

The Asgardian Walls of the Fort hold up well, but Samsara stares mournfully at the destroyed vegetation below them. ... This fort is under attack awfully often, huh. She looks at Gangrel: he stood by a window, allowing water to pour in and knock him off his ass.

...

Tropique

The Tsunami didn't happen here, so the mutants are safe for once.

;)

...

[[Skyrim Random]]

BLGLBLGLBLLLBLGLBGLBLGL Zoro is getting dragged along by the tsunami, looking stoic even when he's being smashed/drowned. He eventually cuts his way free but spits out about three fishes beforehand.

...

[[Vague Skyrim]]

The Ashen One attempts to roll to avoid the Tsunami. For the effort, they get swept along by it, still trying to roll to lower the damage. Once they get smashed into a rock, they get up and spam estus flasks to recover their lost HP.

...

Corrin withstands thanks to his natural affinity and Doom's barriers, but he has to let go because of the sheer force, even if he attempts to hold on to the very end.

He doesn't get up immediately though, instead laying in a pond and appreciating the temporary quietness of it and the comfort of water.

Feels good...

...

Space Battleship Yamato Samus may sees the shape of a woman nearby, spying on the Tsunami below and occasionally protecting a weaker person or so with a electromagnetic barrier.

She doesn't seems to be focused on the ship itself...

...

Thor groans and get up. ARE YOU QUITE SATISFIED? AH! THAT WAS A LOT OF FRUSTRATION AT ONCE! YOU ARE QUITE RELIEVED, I THINK!

He spats some teeth out.

Edited by Bolded1 on Jan 27th 2022 at 10:51:51 AM

Red is probably fine. Actually, do any of his allies even know he' s there? He's basically been a background fighter this whole time.

Gengar touches down, hacking up seawater from its ghostly maw. Despite its phasing abilities, it looks like it got wet before it could really hide itself from the tide.

Reprium

"''So, the Dream World realm is bigger than I thought... I feel like, just by standing here, all what I believe it's crumbling, but... There could have a hope..."

Enzo's thoughts are interrupted by Painty, saying: Enzo, there will be time to think about this. By now, we must help them to stop the incoming danger. It's our duty to protect the Arenagoers too, after all. Without them, there will not be a Dream World to start!

Enzo nods.

"OK. Just for this war, we will be working together."

Tsunami reactions

Vague Whiterun

The Wisedom Tree uses their twigs to take the Nature's Guardians over his top and protecting them against the waves.

Dawnguard Fort

The Pica-Pica are together in their room, guarding themselves.

I hope the other Shepherds are fine...

Vague Riften

Everybody! Get out of here!

Topa and the other members of the Junior Express crew are running, trying to outrun the waves!

Edelgard's aura flares up for a moment, before she realizes she has company- the good kind. She puts up a hand as if to tell Hubert not to worry, before talking.

Edelgard nods at Sandra's statement. "Yes, I have come to stop... that. Being honest, I have no idea what exactly it is, but I do know its source. Does the name Solon ring a bell to any of you?"

Hubert whispers something to Other!Edelgard, something like "Are you sure it's wise to divulge this much information."

She dismisses his worries- she knows herself, she'll get involved regardless of what she says, and will know the truth then and there. Why delay?

...

Of course, saying that, there is a giant tsunami coming their way. Hubert seems to pay it mind, raising his hands into the air and channeling a spell of deep, dark magic that diminishes the coming waves to harmless currents that do not reach the group's elevation. The water below appears ever so slightly grayer as it sweeps on by. Not a single drop of it wets anyone present.

Despite the extravagance of the display, he does not say a word.

Jenna's armor withstand the bullets as she precisely returns fire, with quick bursts of laser fire intercut by her pausing for one second to readjust her aim.
