Enter The Arena As Your Avatar V6: This Time, It's Personal

As Asriel goes for Sephiroth, Malenia appears in the background, surrounded by Rot. Her blade outstretched waiting for an opponent to come at her.

How fortunate that Seek doesn't copy anything, because this character's power gets her killed.

The girl is murdered helplessly.

Sephiroth takes the blow directly and goes stumbling back, seeming winded... until he just stands up straight. His neck seems fine... it doesn't seem like he's been breathing, this entire time.

He tosses aside Masamune and conjures up a new one from thin air.    "Not bad..."   

is the Rot audible from a distance

nah

Malenia stands waiting, though blind she could tell she was surrounded by many powerful opponents.

Hmph! Bastard creature was enjoying this. "Well, I'm not one of your welterweight hair-gelled pansies," Asriel growled, blitzing Sep's already damaged throat in a big to grapple him by it and crack his nose open against his knee. Asriel had references to make, and he was not going to tolerate any form of interruption!

Sephiroth decides to humor this bluster for a moment. He lets Asriel grab and knee him, to get a read on the goat-man's physical strength.

Suffice to say, that cocky smirk goes nowhere. He stumbles back with his nose broken, but calmly fixes it with one hand, still looking smug. He hasn't needed to use hair products ever since the battle at Nibelheim anyway.

He glances at Malenia, but seeing as she hasn't joined the fight directly, disregards her in favor of his more immediate opponent.

~J08 still with us?

Sorry, had to deal with issues. I'm back now.

(Seek continues to try to get more victims. He does his best to stay hidden, as his power is not yet enough to gain more mass.)

Typically speaking, Asriel was strong enough to hurl main battle tanks like pebbles, but the nature of this world fiddled and played with these powers dependent on who fought whom. Getting a reading on strength was thus largely pointless as results would be tainted by this 'balancing' effect. Still, unless the One-Winged Angel had similar power behind his arms he was thoroughly outmatched physically, as would be demonstrated should the Director's roundhouse properly catch his face.

Assume Seek can get his fill from this point. I only had one real character to sacrifice to him, the rest are irrelevant.

Sephiroth isn't going to sit there and take further hits. He ducks under the roundhouse and performs a leg sweep to try and trip Asriel, before rising up to do a heel smash.

Yeah, the idea is that Seek is just gonna slaughter citizens in the background for a bit. Gotta go to bed anyways.

(Seek has followed the evacuees to where they appear to be staying. If he had lips, he would lick them. What a feast.)

Malenia stood still, still waiting. Then she jumped into the air and with an aerial Flash Step struck Seek with her signature move Waterfowl Dance, dealing massive amounts of damage.

Seek says nothing, instead staggering backwards. He has barely any power and is unable to do much fighting, so he does what he does best. Run at prey. He uses his high speed to attenpt to dodge attacks and take enough prey to be able to fight back.

Malenia jumps back by instinct, dodging his strikes. Even blind she can tell his style of combat is sloppy.

Seek realizes he's outmatched, and decides he'll go after innocents instead. He begins his retreat, slaughtering anyone in his way as he runs un the opposite direction surprisingly fast

Asriel growled as his kick went wide. "I could br- UGH!" he tried to continue before being leg-swept to the broken road. He reached out to grab at his foe's downward heel-spike before he even saw it, clasping it in place. "-break Vergil in TWO!" Asriel finished, twisting his body to slam the swordsman into the ground. "With my BARE HANDS!"

Malenia "watches" as Seek runs away, knowing their body has already been tainted by the Scarlet Rot. "I pray the fight continues this way. I hope the Scarlet Flower doesnt have to bloom a third time."

Around two seconds later, Seek melts into the floor. He soreads out his body to create as little vibrations as possible and spread his escape. He's dealt with a blind fighter before, after all.

Realized I should say this now. Seek is from DOORS from Roblox, and isn't given too much context (he's invincible and one-shots in game so I nerfed that). I'm making some of it up as I go.

very cool, also sorry for that long absence the day just slipped by

Sephiroth falls to the ground, lying on his back.

   "... I wonder. What would break you?"   

He teleports again, this time reappearing in the sky above, and surrounds himself in a Beehive Barrier of some kind. Is he gathering power or what?

Malenia feels power emanating from the sky. She jumps back, reading her sword to parry any incoming attacks.

Excellent question, Sep. Sadly it's not one Asriel is gonna let be answered. He's on a street, and streets have cars, and cars are heavy and can conduct Hamon. And so, rolling to his feet, the Director listed a Cadillac clear off the round, channeling his breathing and his magic into it as he hefted it over his shoulder before hurling it like a javelin right at the mass of hexagons protecting this bishie bastard. If that wasn't enough - which doubtless it wasn't - then the goatish giant would leap after the vehicle trident in hands and make to pierce the shield with his Hamon-infused strikes.

Seek sees this, is spooked to no end, and decides that he's slipping into the shelter that the citizens are in. While he's unaware of the Scarlet Rot inside of him now, that won't last long. He starts devouring the evacuees.

The car strikes Sephiroth's barrier-

And activates Scintilla, allowing him to intercept Asriel the moment the goat-man gets in point blank with a barrage of powerful bolts of light!

Seek has eaten enough refugees to regain some of his power. He can sense the unknown entity in him, this "Scarlet Rot." He liquefies himself again, separating his infected molecules from his uninfected molecules. He's weaker now, but the Rot is purged from his system. He begins to sprint back to the building he inhabited earlier, planning a way to consume the other powerful entities he noted of earlier. Delivering this power back to the building will be essential to his success.

Malenia rushes after Seek. Though the Rot was gone from his presence she could still tell he was weak. Easy to finish off given time.
