She kind of make an incongruous face, shrug a bit and fold her arms before walking in circles along with his story, before eventually turning to point at him. She prepare to say something, but relent, and nods, putting one hand on her hip.

That sounds crazy but I've seen weird stuff too, so I believe ya! It's even weirder than what I deal with though...

"Well, my adventures have been pretty bizarre. Name's Joseph Joestar, but you can call me JoJo."

Joseph smirks. "I came here chasing a man who de-aged me from an old fart to my youthful self. I caught him, but then I didn't return to normal after he was beaten! Not that I'm complaining."

Joseph Joest-OH. She smack her palm with her other fist. Oh that's why he said Jo Jo when I got there! That's a good name!

She fold her arms, looking weirded out. You know, there's at least one... two demon lords who killed to get the opportunity that you just got granted. She contemplates. It's like a second life! I'd say that's pretty cool. I'd sure like to get one when I also end up old.

She shake her hands. Without the killing part though.

"Being de-aged isn't as fun when the man responsible did it to you in an attempt to turn you into a vulnerable little kid so he could get all 'pedophile axe murderer' on your ass. I was just lucky that I got out of his shadow before it went that far."

Joseph rolls his shoulders.

Instead of explaining, Joseph says, "Hold on, Ms. Beet. You mentioned using something called 'key' to fly. Is that like Hamon?"

Nah. She shake her head and her hair flies into her face, so she shake her head again to get it out and hope Joseph doesn't notice. It's Ki. It's a... an energy I can use to kinda do everything? Well not everything. I can shoot stuff. Punch stuff hard. Fly. Teleport. Raise my physical statistics to "way beyond human", sense other energies.

She start to enumerate with her fingers. Kind of shape it too, huh... It's kind of like a power that you'll see used by a lot of different folks. All that really matter is how high it is, really. The power is what matters, kinda. You won't do much harm to someone with higher ki than you, unless you take them by surprise or they lower it willingly. She put her hands on her hips and stand up straight, before flexing.

You can raise it through training but it's easier to also get techniques or transformations. My people. She says, despite looking human. Also raise their level if they get close to death during a tough fight.

"I... see... that does sound different. With Hamon, you can do this!"

He punches at the air, and his arm extends in a manner Beet will find reminiscent of Akordion's stretchy arms.

"Zoom Punch!"

Her eyes widen briefly as she witness this! Oh wow! That's... weird! How do you even do that? It's like my friend's technique, but his arms are all squishy and stuff whereas yours have like... you know, bones, muscles, all that! Really lots of muscles oh wow She thinks to herself.

She seems truly amazed, to the point where she give a punch charged with ki at the air, as if trying to replicate it. She fails, of course.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

With some of the feathers blasted away, Rie sees enough to spot Sephiroth activating Scintilla, reflecting some of the force back at her in the form of beams. She scrambles for her energy blade, and though the first few beams take out small chunks of her armor before she can act, she manages to slice open a portal to eat the rest of them, nullifying most of the counterattack. "A reflection barrier... are you done yet!?"

"I'm only halfway there!"

It seems this move is only good as a split-second counter, as it starts to close before Iris flies through her own wall of feathers and prepares to blast Rie with her double fireballs. But before she can-

"Counterspell!"

The fireballs fizzle out, as the portal restabilizes for another moment with Reuben's hand sticking out, having waited until the last second to rejigger it so he doesn't eat the Scintilla beams. While one could imagine the skill this takes, considering the number of three-way switches he pulled off in the last match, stitching multiple pathways together doesn't seem that much of a stretch. It then grows to the size of a person as the rest of him steps out, before moving and swallowing Rie, returning her to the standby position in the back of the arena.

"... that was actually kinda cool.", Iris comments before going for a swift leg-sweep, aimed at Reuben's knees.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Reuben jumps up and away using a similar jump-boosting technique as his sister, but powered entirely by telekinetic force. "Thanks." Pointing his lance at Iris, he fires a thin, quick beam at her, training at her continuously for a couple seconds. If she gets hit, she'll discover that Reuben is duplicating Sephiroth's Shadowflare, with grey more energy balls surrounding her the longer she has the spotlight, up to four.

"... I'm curious. Humor me for a moment, would you?"

"Koaaaaaaaaaaaah..." As Joseph taps into his Hamon Breathing, a golden flame-like aura rises up around him. If Beet can sense energy, she'll feel his power level rising. Not by a lot, all things considered, but a substantial amount.

Iris gets hit by the laser, and while she quickly flies up after a momentary flinch, there's still two energy balls spinning around her.

"... I have a feeling like I know what's going to happen. Uuummmm..."

She looks back at her allies.

"No way would it be allowed for this attack to persist if I'm not on the battlefield, so..."

"Shaq!", Iris calls in, tagging out.

She scratch the top of her head but go along with it, noticing the energy flow, and his rising power level, impressive for a human!

uhhh Haha Jo Jo! I am about to... do evil things! And it'll take more than a funny accent and good breathing techniques to stop me! She leans forwards and put both arms up, while trying to sneer menacingly.

Shaq jumps back into the fight and finds the orbs orbiting Iris are now orbiting him. He puts his guard up and braces for impact.


She's a smart one, thinks Joseph.

"Oh yeah? Well have a taste of this!"

He throws a pair of clackers at her.

"... I didn't think that'd happen, sorry!", Iris quickly calls out to Shaq from the sidelines when she sees the attack just gets transferred.

WHAT She get smacked in the face, having thought that Joseph would attempt to attack her with something... like a blast. Because she was on-guard, though, she emerge with just some marks on her face, though she rubs her sore cheek.

That's unique alright! She says, getting up. But clackers won't stop me! Have a taste of my own moves! Having recovered the guise of a villainess of evil doom, she cross her arms and open her hands up, little orbs popping in at the ends of each of her fingers. She doesn't attack yet though, curious as to what he'll do next.

WOOOAHHHHHHH!

"Hermit Purple!"

Joseph throws his hand forward, and purple energy-vines project from his forearm, reaching out and extending...

towards the roof of Candlehearth Hall, which they pull him up on top of, putting him above Beet.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

Reuben's expression gives away his similar surprise, albeit a more pleasant one in his case. Landing back down, he takes a second to cover his mouth while stretching his jaw, before creating a small portal from inside his mouth. As the Ruins close in on Shaq, he combines it with a flurry of sardines, flying at high enough speeds to cause appreciable bludgeoning damage.

Huh, is that still hamon you're using? She waits, before deciding to add some tricks to the fight, using afterimages to spawn at least ten different hers, spinning in a circle.

After a while, all ten of the copies shoot a single finger beam, though it's more like she's just very quickly firing one from each finger as she moves in a circle. If they hit Joseph, they'll inflict a burn, but nothing more than this, assuming that he wouldn't want for the fight to be lethal.

Regardless of success, Beets goes back to normal. Or rather, they go back to her but she's spinning in place! After a while of spinning, she jumps again, and the momentum carries her towards the roof, where she lands triumphantly.

Witness my god sp-hey wait why's everything spinny? She says, as tiny "stars" hover above her head. Oh right the spin yeah Manages to stammer out Beets.

"It's cool, it's cool!"

Then Shaq gets barraged by energy balls and... fish?

His guard is broken by one of the Ruins hitting him from behind, but he managed to weather a fair amount of the damage.

"Nice move. Here's mine."

His head suddenly expands to roughly the size of his entire body, staring up at the sky with a wild grin, as he poses...

"I am KAZAM!"

and gigantic name-brand fast-food products come raining down on Reuben's head.

Visual demonstration.


"Kind of," replies Joseph, moments before getting god-spin-burned.

"Yeowch!" he yelps. "That technique is really something!"

He uses Hermit Purple again, this time trying to grab Beet for real and yank her into the path of a "Rebuff Overdrive!"

She get yanked pretty easily since she's stunned, but she recovers in time, and answers the Rebuff Overdrive with a knee attack, raising her legs to have her knees impact Joseph's muscular elbows! It doesn't negate the damage, but it does lower it, and it may at least hurt Joseph too!

Beet does seems bothered by the fact that her arms are tied up, and look down, grimacing.

Well, I guess that I should get freed! Hrngh! She tries to muscle her way free, even flexing her arms above her head if she succeeds! Yay! She adds, though she tries to remain composed.

Solitude - Titanic Clash

"What." Despite the stunt he just pulled, Reuben is briefly stunned at the similar weirdness Shaq is drawing from, until he glances up. "...Alright, I think that beats mine."

He starts to frantically dodge the first couple giant candy bars that fall at him, then slashing another one. As the barrage keeps on coming, he resorts to casting a quick barrier to weather the next few, until even that fails and he's buried by the onslaught. Under the pile, there seems to be no movement...
