Spectating[]

Team Saturn (Schnee Ainekas, Alexia Wynter and Terra Fauna) were all in the stands. Terra and Schnee were having hot dogs, while Alexia was eating a "delicious" tofu sandwich. Why did they have to put their match at lunchtime? Alexia thought, sighing. Her stomach was just torturing her on the ride to the arena, so she thoroughly enjoyed her meal. The reason she wanted to eat it slowly, however, was because she didn't like seeing the battle - she only came because she didn't want to be left without her teammates. Looking back, it might've been smarter to stay home....

Schnee, who was much less worried than the cryokinetic, was humming a catchy tune, excited to see the battle while narfing on her wiener. Though this wasn't as fun as seeing a robotics meet or a football game to her, it was always fun to see her friends battle it out for their lives. Not that the "battle it out part" wasn't her favorite - it was the main reason she liked to come to these events.

Terra was kicking back, enjoying herself but still a little bit stiff. She couldn't help but worry what was going on in the Wild Wind Village - in fact, if they were being attacked, she'd never know until she returned to see the carnage. Schnee is mighty lucky she managed to talk me into coming here.... Terra appreciated seeing these battles a lot more when her village came with her.

AJ, a 13-year old fox, was also in the stands and, like Terra and Schnee, was also eating a hot dog, which he was devouring with reckless abandon. Upon seeing Terra and Schnee, he said (without turning the rest of the way to face them), "Hey, are you two enjoying your hot dogs? I am! I don't get hot dogs like this back in Template:CP-XEE. These are delicious!"

Schnee gave AJ a thumbs-up after swallowing. "I know, right? Hot dogs are awesome!' Schnee then burped loudly, causing her to cover her mouth. "Excuse me. Also, sorry if my friends kill any of yours in advance. They do stuff like that in these battles."

Terra looked at AJ, having Alexia hide behind her. "Hello, Mr. Fox. What is your name? I take it that you have a relationship with the three competitors who we are unfamiliar with?"

"Um...sort of!" said AJ, finally turning to face Terra. "I know Męka Niki. She's my best friend. She won't tell you that, but it's true. Trust me. I think I know the guy with the hood. He showed up the other day and did something somewhere with someone. It had something to do with a cage, I think. And the other person is...I don't know. I've never seen her before. Oh, also, I know my friends might get killed here. But it's fine, because they have indefinite numbers of lives here. It's like they're all in a video game with cheats turned on!" AJ thrust his fists into the air. "YES! Cheats! I love those!" At this point, AJ realized that he was waving around his hot dog and thus not eating it, and promptly lowered his hands so that he could keep eating his hot dog.

AJ stopped eating his hot dog and stared at the stands when he saw Rinnahssiah-5 apparently get hit. "Your friends are really unfair," he said. "There was no way that she could dodge that attack! It's like...if somebody shot an instant death laser at someone else that was so big that they couldn't dodge it!" (AJ hadn't seen Scarlet shoot at Męka Niki, as Scarlet's back had been to him when she shot the giant laser at Męka Niki.) "Oh, wait, is that why you were warning me that your friends might kill my friends? BECAUSE YOU KNEW THAT THEY WOULD DO THAT? THIS IS SO TOTALLY UNFAIR!" AJ comically waved around his hot dog in anger until he remembered once again that he wasn't eating it, at which point he lowered it and started eating it again.

Schnee and Terra looked at the kid and rolled their eyes, now finished with their food. Alexia was about to apologize, but her temmates were drilling holes into the back of their heads, and without even turning around, she knew what they were saying - they didn't want to deal with AJ any longer. Thus, the team members of Team Saturn simply ignored him. This didn't work exactly as they intended, as AJ realized that they were ignoring him and yelled, "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING MEEEE?"

Alexia looked nervously at their teammates, but none of them really made any drastic changes in their behavior. After a few seconds, however, Terra glared at AJ and said, "You're annoying."

"OF COURSE I'M ANNOYING!" yelled AJ. "Oh, wait. Um. I meant..." AJ started giggling uncontrollably at his own in-eloquence. "I meant...um...yeah, sure, that was annoying of me. But seriously, why do your friends get to be OP and mine don't?"

Schnee didn't smile at AJ, now giving him an annoyed glare. "My friends have their power at expense for their power, if that makes any sense. They had to practice their abilities, be able to control them and allow them to manifest without killing themselves. They trained hard, too - that's the only reason they're still alive." Schnee then asked, "How old are you anyway? Your voice is pretty deep for a... ten-year-old, I'd say?" Schnee wasn't even trying to mock him - she legitimately thought he was in fifth grade.

"I'm thirteen!" said AJ promptly. "Add three to that! And sure, I get that they had to work hard for their power, but it just isn't..." AJ's eyes widened as he saw Rinnahssiah-5 get killed by Mac. He started to yell "CH—" but choked on his hot dog and was simply forced to yell through closed lips "MMMMMMMM!"

AJ eventually got his hot dog unstuck from his throat, by which time he had forgotten all about what he was going to yell about. He then remained silent until Bopha summoned a giant lobster made of rock. After staring at it for a few seconds, he said, "Is that a lobster, or am I seeing things? I thought that that guy was a geokinetic, not a lobsterkinetic." Schnee and Terra facepalmed.

AJ didn't talk any more until he saw Męka Niki and Kennedy leaving the arena. "Hey wait, what's going on?" he asked. "Why are they leaving the arena? Oh wait, here's Męka Niki. Hey, Męka Niki, why'd you leave all of a sudden?"

Męka Niki sighed as she sat down next to him. "Long story, kid. Let's just watch the battle, okay? I'll tell you when we get home."

"Umm...OK," said AJ.

Nothing more of note occurred in the stands until Bopha started launching super-fast laser-powered rock spikes in all directions, causing some to float over to the stands (although they were moving slowly enough to be harmless by the time that they got there). Męka Niki, annoyed, knocked some of them back over the wall into the arena with the side of her arm. "Geez, doesn't he have any consideration for the spectators?" she said.

Some time later, Męka Niki had returned to her seat when she noticed Bopha both get killed by Scarlet and kill Mac. "Oh, huh," she said. "Well, good for him, managing to kill that guy...too bad he got killed, though. Oh well, that happens. Now if only he hadn't brought that Rinnahssiah-5 girl in, this could have been a draw...I'll have to talk to him later."

Schnee clapped quickly. "Yeah, Scar! That's a wrap!"

Terra crossed her arms. "Rest in peace for about a few minutes, Mac."

Alexia sighed. "That wasn't h-horrible now. At least they'll all be healed... I-I hope that Mac will be alright though... and those two that Mac and Scarlet killed!" Alexia sniffed as Team Saturn got up and started walking away. "I just h-hope everyone will be safe..."

"They will, trust me," said Męka Niki, getting up with AJ. "At least, they'll be physically safe. Bopha will not be safe from my wrath, but nobody's going to be injured."

The Bloodied Battle[]

3v3[]

Team Mask (Mackenzie Hartley, Scarlet June and Kennedy McLeod) were all standing in the arena, all doing different things to prepare themselves. Mac was pacing in place, Scarlet was stretching, and Kennedy was doing one-handed push-ups. Mac looked at Kennedy with concern on his face. "Hey, Ken, you sure you want to fight with one arm?"

Kennedy smiled back at Mac after his 50th push-up. "Mac, I can transform my stub into a blade, remember? In a battle, it's just as good." He didn't appreciate it when people underestimated him now because he'd simply lost his arm - if anything, they should fear him more, now that he had gained control of his abilities. He'd just have to prove that to his teammates in this fight.

Scarlet looked at her teammates and smirked, rolling her eyes. "You two better not mess around," she said, and in reply they saluted to her. Their thoughts were all synchronizing with one main message - We're gonna try our hardest to win this thing. Since Scarlet's embarrassment with Luna, she'd been wanting to train up to the point that the bunny would cower in fear at the mention of her name. She was only going to be able to do that with practice.

A portal appeared in the arena, and three Mobians walked out: Bopha Channary, Męka Niki, and Rinnahssiah-5. The portal closed behind them as Bopha tapped something indiscernible. "Hello, other combatants!" he said cheerfully. "Do you need me to introduce my team?"

Rinnahssiah-5 cocked her head to the side and stared at Bopha blankly.

"We're not your team," said Męka Niki bluntly.

"Sure you are," said Bopha. "All right, before my teammates can embarrass me further, let me introduce them. I'm Bopha Channary, she's Męka Niki, and this is some random girl with memory loss—"

"Rinnahssiah-5," said Rinnahssiah-5.

"Oh, great, you remember your name," said Bopha, his deadpan inflection making it difficult to tell whether he was being sarcastic or not. "So, yeah, that's my team..."

Męka Niki growled.

"Who're you?" said Bopha, gesturing to the members of Team Mask.

"Mackenzie Hartley, nice to meet you," Mac said with a smile. He gestured towards his teammates, who were now getting in stances. "I'm a pyrokinetic 30-year-old with the ability to turn invisble. I hope you can be able to see in the dark, too, because I can control shadows, and I have all forms of umbrakinesis," Mac lied.

Scarlet, seeing what Mac was doing, played along with his "spill the faux beans" game. "My name is Scarlet June, I'm a cryokinetic, and my power comes from the sun. I mostly rely on swords." If they believe all of this stuff, that'll be hilarious! I have to admit - Mac has his slight genius moments.

Kennedy didn't like the lying, mainly because they seemed so nice, but he decided against not doing it, seeing the false truths as a "tactical advantage." "My name is Kennedy McLeod, I use wind as my main elements, and I heavily rely on lower body strength. I lost my arm in a terrible accident, and this part of my body is totally and completely useless." Kennedy winced at saying the last part, and to add insult to injury, he waved his stub around.

Mac flexed his muscles before pulling his teammates into a group hug, causing Kennedy to chuckle lightly and Scarlet to roll her eyes at Mac's cheekiness. "Together, we form Team Mask, the heroic crime-stopping team!" Technically, that wasn't a lie - it was just not the complete truth. Eh, who gives a crap about morals these days?

Mac didn't say much more than that - he simply looked at Kennedy. Kennedy huffed, smiled, and disappeared in a bright flash of white light, leaving Mac and Scarlet. Then, Mac surged with electricity and dashed forward, turning himself into lightning. He burst into the sky before reverting back into his normal appearance.

However, Mac was only a distraction. Scarlet charged a red beam in her pointer finger and fired it, causing a large beam to be fired at the trio.

Of Team Mask's opponents, Męka Niki was the only one who appeared to be preparing for battle. While Męka Niki unfolded a pair of chainsaws from her arms and started them spinning (producing a loud mechanical buzzing sound), Bopha stood still, internally laughing about how stupid Team Mask's obvious bluffs were while externally looking nonchalant, while Rinnahssiah-5 simply looked impassively at her opponents. However, when Scarlet's finger beam was a few feet away from the trio, a giant spike of rock rose from the ground to meet it. As an extra precaution, the trio got out of the way of the beam, or at least Męka Niki and Bopha did. Rinnahssiah-5 stood still, looking indecisive.

Mac saw Rinnahssiah vulnerable, and he didn't waste any time. Surging downwards like a lightning bolt, he tried to punch her in the face. If he landed his blow, he'd also smash her head into the sand.

Kennedy teleported behind Bopha after having turned his now-gone left arm into a purple energy sword. He attempted to stab him in the back, but Bopha, having heard Kennedy land, dodged (correctly guessing that Kennedy would try to hit his head or torso, not his legs). Bopha then spun around and tried to strike Kennedy with his fist, which now had two rock spikes protruding from it in a style identical to that of Knuckles' fists. Kennedy blocked the blow with his blade-arm, and tried to reverse-roundhouse kick Bopha in the cheek. Bopha dodged Kennedy's kick, dropping the spikes from one fist and sticking them to the other, then tried to hit Kennedy in the back with that one.

Meanwhile, Rinnahssiah-5, unsure of what to do, managed to dodge at the last moment, rolling and banging into Męka Niki, who was still standing in a battle stance. Męka Niki, annoyed, said, "Hey, what're you—" Then, seeing Mac, she abruptly rotated one of her chainsaws in (rotating her hand back up), and, with one swift motion, pulled Rinnahssiah-5 to her feet and swung herself towards Mac with her chainsaw extended. If Mac didn't move quickly, the chainsaw would cut him in half horizontally. Mac took out his sword Angel and blocked the blow, inserting High Tension energy inside of it to give it chainsaw-like edges.

"Well, this was early," he said, not expecting to have to have done that so early in the match. Scarlet jumped over him, and she fired two fast but weak lasers at Meka's eyes, trying to gouge her eyes out with the projectiles. Męka Niki, seeing the lasers coming, dropped to the ground, then used her extra leg-joints to spin around, grab Rinnahssiah-5, and swing at Mac's legs with her, simultaneously launching herself into the air and swinging her chainsaw at Scarlet.

Scarlet smirked. Well, that was a dumb move. Now that she had someone charging straight at her, she decided to fire a very large red beam downwards at the rising Meka Niki, the beam threatening to consume Meka Niki.

Mac was knocked onto his back into the sand, but he quickly got up and growled. Now that Rinnahsiah was alone, he conjured two lightning bolts in his hands and fired them at her, trying to fire her. If they landed, he would run up to her and try to stab her in the stomach. Rinnahssiah-5, however, just stood still, waiting for Mac's lightning bolts to almost hit her, then dodged just in time to avoid getting hit. Mac, annoyed, leaped low and tried to rapidly deliver fast kicks to Rinnahssiah's face. Rinnahssiah-5, in return, scooted slightly to the side and tried to punch Mac's leg, simultaneously bringing herself into a position where she could stand up to the side a second later if Mac didn't intervene. Mac's legs were hit and he was turned upside down, but he landed on his hands and tried to breakdance kick Rinnahssiah in the cheek. If he missed the first time, he would then try to trip her with a breakdance sweep kick.

Męka Niki knew that she couldn't dodge Scarlet's beam; Męka Niki was just too heavy and couldn't move fast enough. Męka Niki, resigning herself to her fate, moved her chainsaws into a position where she hoped that they'd keep going once the beam dissolved her torso. If her trajectory was right, the two would move into an X shape around the time that they'd hit Scarlet in her current position, making it difficult for Scarlet to avoid being killed or at least injured by the chainsaws. However, Męka Niki's chainsaws moved a bit faster than Męka Niki expected, providing an effective block for Scarlet's beam. The beam pushed them back slightly, but it wouldn't hold them for long. Scarlet saw what was coming, stopped firing her beam, and fell onto the ground while Meka Niki's chainsaws flew past Scarlet.

Męka Niki, surprised at having not gotten hit by the laser beam, managed to re-position her chainsaws into a convenient position and roll upon hitting the ground. "BOPHA, STOP FIGHTING THAT GUY AND COME FIGHT THIS PERSON!" she yelled. Bopha, hearing Męka Niki's yell, promptly dodged past Kennedy and threw a shower of five tiny, but pointy rock spikes, aligned in an X-shape, at Scarlet. Kennedy teleported in front of Bopha and took all of the rocks to the chest, picking them out of his skin one by one.

While Meka Niki yelled at Bopha, Scarlet tried to roundhouse kick her low in the calf, attempting to disable her leg. Męka Niki simply stayed still and took the hit, which connected with her leg with a loud, metallic clang. Męka Niki stood up. "Ever fought a robot before? I'm 170% metal, you know," she said, poking fun at Scarlet's bluff. Męka Niki then tried to slice horizontally through Scarlet with her right chainsaw while holding up her left chainsaw vertically, making it difficult for Scarlet to avoid getting hit just by moving to one side or the other (although Scarlet moving up and to her left was still an option, just one that Męka Niki hadn't thought of). Scarlet backflipped, dodging the attack, and then jumped back.

Chainsaws are hard to fight against. I'll have to find a way to distract her and take them off. Scarlet reloaded her gun with cryokinetic bullets and fired them at Meka Niki's feet, trying to freeze her to the sand.

"Y'know, I thought you'd be able to do more than give me splinters," Kennedy said, unimpressed with Bopha's quite boring attack. Throwing rocks? Really? He charged a small orb of Chaos Energy in his palm and fired it at Bopha, aiming for his stomach.

Bopha dodged, sliding to Bopha's left. He then threw two small rock spikes—the ones that were formerly stuck to his hand—at Kennedy; however, this was just as a distraction, as Bopha was simultaneously creating a giant rock spike to hit Kennedy from behind Kennedy and to Kennedy's left (which would be directly behind Kennedy if Kennedy had turned to face Bopha when Bopha got out of the way). Kennedy didn't react to the small rocks, and saw the spike coming - as a result of this, he teleported behind Bopha and tried to stab him in the back again.

Bopha dodged to the side, again having heard Kennedy land. He turned towards Kennedy and opened his mouth to make a snarky response to Kennedy, but was promptly forced to duck as Męka Niki, who had jumped out of the way of Scarlet's bullets, nearly hit him in the head. About to yell at her, he again closed his mouth as he realized how incredibly convenient this was, as it allowed him to fight Scarlet, which was what he had realized would be most convenient. Bopha focused, causing a rock spike to shoot out of the ground and launch him far over Scarlet's head. As he flew, he yelled, "HEY SCARLET, OVER HERE!" and rained down projectiles at her. Męka Niki, realizing what Bopha was doing, sliced at Kennedy with her chainsaw, trying to engage him so that he wouldn't interfere with Bopha fighting Scarlet. Kennedy blocked Meka Niki's attack with his blade-arm, and with his other blade-arm he attempted to stab Meka Niki in the heart, through her armor.

Scarlet quickly leaped back, able to dodge Bopha's projectiles. She fired static bullets in the air that'd paralyze Bopha if they hit. Bopha countered by using his geokinesis to shoot what were essentially beams of dirt in the right direction to dodge midair, then destroying the dirt with his geokinesis before the dirt could impede anyone's progress. Scarlet, not seeing a way to reach him without spending energy, simply waited for his next attack. If it was a projectile, she could dodge, and if it was a melee attack, she'd go on the offensive. However, Bopha didn't make a next attack; after landing, he turned around to face her, waiting for her next attack. Scarlet knew this was going to drain her a bit, but she dashed forward, stopping right before Bopha. Using quite a bit of energy, Scarlet created a red energy clone of herself in front of Bopha while the real her rolled past him. Then, the clone exploded.

Rinnahssiah-5, completely unaware of what was going on with her teammates, was having her own problems with Mac. She managed to avoid his kick to her cheek, but his sweep kick knocked her off of her feet. As she fell to the ground, she turned into a makeshift ball, quickly forming a Spin Dash, which she used to accelerate up a nearby wall, drop back to where she was before, and charge at Mac (while still Spin Dashing) at high speeds. Mac, seeing no other way to avoid the move properly, unleashed a small burst of electricity around him, emitting a small explosion.

Męka Niki, seeing Kennedy trying to stab her in the heart but knowing that she couldn't completely dodge, instead moved to the side slightly, causing Kennedy to hit her shoulder. Just like when Scarlet hit Męka Niki's leg, the struck part of Męka Niki emitted a loud, metallic clang upon contact. There wasn't much that Męka Niki could do with Kennedy's arm hitting or stuck in her shoulder, but she was able to raise her arm, threatening to slice open Kennedy's chest and thus severely injure him if he couldn't find a way to dodge it without causing the arm that he was parrying to fly forward and hit him. Kennedy used his other blade-arm to block that blow, then turning one of his legs into a sword and trying to stab-kick Meka Niki in the chin. Męka Niki dodged to the side to avoid getting kicked in the chin, using the leg that she wasn't leaning on to try to kick Kennedy in the back (using her several leg-joints to turn her leg into a boomerang shape, making it go around behind Kennedy's back).

Bopha, seeing Scarlet's exploding clone, created a rock spike underneath him, once again launch himself into the air, although this time, it was to get him out of the way of Scarlet's attack. Meanwhile, Kennedy was hit in the back and knocked forward a bit, but then he looked into the air. Seeing Bopha attacking Scarlet from the skies, he realized that Bopha had the right idea. Kennedy started levitating into the air to a height where Meka Niki would have to have a super jumping ability to reach him. Then, Kennedy created a large purple orb of Chaos Energy, and he fired it at Meka Niki, yelling "ERYNSPHERE!" Męka Niki rolling to the side, dodging the Erynsphere. Now I almost want Scarlet back, she thought as she returned to a standing position. Almost.

Kennedy teleported in front of Meka Niki and tried to punch her in the jaw with a sword-arm, attempting to stab through her head. Męka Niki dropped to her right, raising her left chainsaw to try to pull Kennedy down with the flat of it. Kennedy's left blade-arm was slapped down, but seeing as one of her hands was occupied, he tried to kick her in the face.

Scarlet, sighing, waited for Bopha to make a move. What she had just done used quite a lot of energy, so she needed some cooldown. Bopha wasted no time in creating a giant rock-spike—about the length of Scarlet's torso and about half as thick—and hurling it downwards at Scarlet's torso. Scarlet leaped back and avoided the projectile, causing it to hit the sand. She waited for him to make his next move.

Rinnahssiah-5, noticing Mac emitting an explosion around him, stopping her Spin Dash and started rolling backwards. She then rolled up the wall and bounced up and down a bit in a comical fashion before uncurling from her ball and turning to face Mac. Again, she simply waited for Mac to make his move, not trying to go on the offensive herself. Mac snarled and quickly ran circles around her so quickly, it looked like there were twelve of him. They all fired bullets at Rinnahssiah's head.

Rinnahssiah-5 waited until Mac's bullets had almost hit her in the head, then dropped to her knees, clutching her head with one hand. In reality, she hadn't gotten hit; she'd just dropped to the ground to avoid getting hit by the bullets. However, she was trying to pretend that she'd gotten hit in order to make Mac lower his own defenses, giving her a better chance to hit him. Her attempt at deceiving Mac did the opposite thing, though - Mac, seeing that she was now down, decided to pick her off. Charging energy into Heaven, he fired a barrage of vertical blade beams from it, trying to slice Rinnahssiah into pieces while still running, causing the attacks to come from all sides.

With no other options, Rinnahssiah-5 completely dropped to the ground, hoping that she could dodge whatever finishers Mac would try to throw at her once she was in a prone position. However, as all of the blade beams were all heading for the middle, there wasn't much that Rinnahssiah could do to avoid them. Although she tried to scoot to the side, the blades pinned her left arm to the ground, keeping her from either moving further to the side or from standing up. Rinnahssiah-5 sighed, recognizing defeat. "Kill me quickly," she whispered. Finally, all of the blade beams closed in on her.

Neither Męka Niki nor Bopha noticed that their teammate had been eliminated, as they were focused on their own battles. Męka Niki blocked Kennedy's leg with the flat of her chainsaw, trying to kick him in the side at the same time, while Bopha split his giant rock spike into seven long, thin rock spikes and fired them all at Scarlet in a cluster, one that would spread outwards as its projectiles neared Scarlet in order to hinder her horizontal or vertical movement. Kennedy blocked Meka Niki's kick with his hand, and Mac, seeing Kennedy having a bit of trouble, tried to stab Meka Niki in the back with an electric Heaven.

Scarlet, meanwhile, created an energy shield, blocking the projectiles and reflecting them back at Bopha, but she also fired them at Meka Niki, Kennedy, and Mac.

Męka Niki moved herself into an upright position and moved to the side slightly to get at a better angle to hit Kennedy. As a result, Mac's sword's blade hit her arm instead of its point hitting her back. Męka Niki raised her arm to move it at a better angle to hit them with, then noticed Scarlet's projectiles coming at her. Before she could move in response to them, Bopha dissolved the projectiles with a snap of his fingers (as they were, after all, his). Męka Niki took this opportunity to step back and get into a better position to fight Kennedy and Mac with. Kennedy managed to dodge all the rock projectiles, while Mac was hit in the head with a few, stunned momentarily.

At the same time, Bopha, noticing Męka Niki's predicament, yelled "YOOHOO, everyone come fight me!" Creating three small rocks, he tried to punch all three of the combatants in the head with them. The rocks wouldn't hurt them, but Bopha hoped that it would annoy them enough to make them divert some of their attention to him, as he didn't mind fighting two or three of them at once and he didn't think that Męka Niki could do the same.

Scarlet, seeing how obvious this was, leaped in the air to grab the projectile that was made for her - seeing how it was quite weak, she deduced that Bopha was only trying to distract them. She leaped again, snatching the rock projectiles that were heading for Mac and Kennedy, before looking to Bopha with lowered eyelids.

"You're going to have to get through me before getting to my friends," Scarlet said before dashing forward, causing sand to blast forward. Kennedy and Mac, seeing this, decided to also start running around quickly in circle, causing three sandnadoes to form around the arena. If Meka Niki and Bopha didn't do anything, they'd be sucked up by them and thrown to the wall after about five spins.

Bopha laughed at the attack. Using his geokinesis, he caused the sandnadoes to vanish, landing in the arena shortly afterwards. "Seriously?" he said, still laughing. "I'm a geokinetic! What did you think you were doing with that attack?"

Męka Niki took this opportunity to figure out where her opponents were and to run through a few plans for when someone started hitting her.

However, when the sandnadoes disappeared, so did their opponents. Suddenly, with energy charged in them, Mac, Scarlet and Kennedy all burst at Bopha. Scarlet tried to punch him in the stomach and throw him up, Kennedy would would teleport to where he was thrown and kick him down, and Mac would fire a large blue beam of electricity, trying to either disintegrate or paralyze him.

Bopha countered Scarlet's attack by launching himself into the air, but was then hit by Kennedy's attack. Bopha then shot himself to the side, dodging Mac's attack, before encasing himself in a giant rock. This rock then started firing rock spikes at random in all directions. Kennedy teleported to his teammates, putting his hands on their foreheads to teleport into the air. While there were still rocks being shot in the air, Kennedy's less restrictive movement allowed him to dodge them. He decided to form a plan with his teammates mentally.

Scarlet, what should we do? You're the one who suggested that this man would be tougher to beat than the chainsaw woman - was it Niki? Yes, it was Meka Niki. Anyway, does anyone have a plan they'd like to propose? You must hurry up - I can dodge these however. Kennedy was obviously struggling to dodge the rock projectiles, carry his teammates, and form telepathic links to his teammates all simultaneously.

Well, we could wait him out, but we have no idea how long that's going to take. I saw some of his match with Scarlet, and he has means to dodge if I just throw random bolts at him. We could try to rush attack him, but that'd take a bit of planning, Mac thought. Then again, I guess we could just try to finish him off now while he's in his rock thing and he can't see us... Mac added.

Bingo. He can't see us if he's in his shield, so let's try a team big bang blast. If we get him from both sides, then he'll have practically nowhere to run - and that's only if he notices us. Mac, Kennedy, you in? Scarlet asked.

Meka Niki could be a huge obstacle, however. I trust that you will both be able to handle him on your own. Good luck. Kennedy allowed them to flip and stand on his arms before boosting his arms upward, sending his teammates flying up. Kennedy himself fell and levitated an inch above the ground before bursting out at Meka Niki with his sword-arm equipped. He tried to stab her in the shoulder.

Kennedy vs. Męka Niki[]

Męka Niki waited until Kennedy was about to stab her in the shoulder, then used him lunging forward as an opportunity to move her other arm's chainsaw forward, trying to stab him through his stomach. Admittedly, Kennedy's blade would be stuck in her shoulder if her plan worked, but she figured that the cost was worth it for the advantage that she'd be able to get over Kennedy...if her plan worked.

Kennedy stabbed her in the shoulder, but she managed to hit him in the side, for he had used his other blade arm to parry the strike and partially block it. Kennedy retracted his arm from her shoulder and tried to stab her through the heart this time. Męka Niki sidestepped slightly, placing her arm in the way to field the attack from Kennedy's blade. She then hooked her leg around behind his back, trying to kick him forward while positioning her chainsaw (the one that Kennedy's blade was not hitting) so that, if Kennedy was knocked forward, the chainsaw would slice through him.

Kennedy put his blade-arm to block Meka Niki's chainsaw attack (for it was open after he missed his attack), but he still flipped over the attack. For a moment, Kennedy was laying on his back, but he quickly teleported a few meters away from Meka Niki, waiting for her to make her next move. Męka Niki did the same, breathing hard and trying to figure out how to beat Kennedy properly. Noticing her own hard breathing, she rotated one of her chainsaws inward, rotating that hand outwards, then using it to feed fuel to her breathing apparatus, all while holding out one of her chainsaws in a defensive position should Kennedy try to attack her while she was doing this. Kennedy filled his palm with a Chaos Spear and started firing them rapidly at Meka Niki before taking his arm-blade and extending it with enough power to impale through Meka Niki's armor and heart.

Męka Niki quickly closed her breathing apparatus's feeding container, then dodged back and forth to avoid the Chaos Spears coming at her. Upon seeing Kennedy extend his sword at her, she dropped to the ground, using her momentum from doing so to move forward, trying to slide beneath his legs and cut through him from underneath with her chainsaws. When seeing that she was trying to slide underneath the sword, Kennedy slashed downwards, trying to cut Meka Niki vertically in half. In response, Męka Niki moved her other arm (the one that she wasn't using to try to cut Kennedy) to cover her torso and face, trying to block Kennedy from being able to hit her in her organic parts by blocking them with her arm, all while still sliding and trying to cut Kennedy from underneath.

Kennedy simply jumped over Meka Niki until he was behind her before slashing at her neck while charging more energy into his slash, threatening to break Meka Niki's chainsaw she was using to defend herself if it hit. Męka Niki strained, trying to protect herself. Just as she had nearly slowed to a halt, she quickly spun around on her back, placing her legs in Kennedy's blade's path instead of her legs. Still in her defensive position, she started trying to sit up, all while keeping her legs in Kennedy's blade's path so that, if he tried to attack her from her front, he'd hit her chainsaw or her legs. Kennedy continued to try to attack her legs, and if she didn't try to dodge, then he would cut through the armor and her legs would be removed.

Męka Niki moved from a sitting position to a kneeling position, placing her chainsaws in front of her defensively to parry the strikes that Kennedy was dealing to what had been her legs before she moved them out of the way. Then, keeping one chainsaw in front of her defensively, she then tried to stand up sharply, moving her other chainsaw in front of her in the hopes that it would come up under Kennedy's blades and knock him over. Kennedy jumped over to Meka Niki to dodge the attack, and now seeing that she was standing, he turned and extended his blade-arm again, trying to stab through Meka Niki's armor.

Męka Niki turned around to block Kennedy's blade with her arm, causing his blade to go through her arm. Placing her other arm behind Kennedy's blade, she flipped in her chainsaw and flipped out her hand, which she then used to try to simultaneously keep the blade from hitting her chest and push the blade out of her arm. While doing this, Męka Niki continued holding both arms in a defensive position, making it difficult for Kennedy to hit her chest from the front. Incidentally, Kennedy was also held at melee range by his blade being stuck in Męka Niki's arm, so unless he pulled his blade out of her arm, it would be difficult for him to jump over her or to hit her from any direction besides her front.

Kennedy retracted his blade-arm, seeing that Meka Niki was a difficult opponent. He created arrows and darts of Chaos Energy in the air before firing them at Meka Niki, which could go through her armor. Then, Kennedy jumped back and turned both of his arms into swords, waiting for Meka Niki to make a move.

Męka Niki dropped to her knees, bending her lower legs back and swiveling the left and right halves of each of her legs outwards at the same time, essentially turning her legs into treads and allowing her to both easily dodge Kennedy's arrows and darts (which she couldn't have done normally, as the projectiles were too fast for her to dodge) and move to the side, albeit slowly. Once she had gotten completely out from underneath the projectiles, her legs swiveled back into their normal positions, and she stood up, unfolding her chainsaw from the hand-arm at the same time. She then got into a defensive position, holding one of her chainsaw arms in front of her chest and the other outstretched in front of her.

Kennedy smiled at Meka Niki, giving her a thumbs-up. "You are quite the smart opponent. You seem like a reasonable thinker." Turning his blade-arm back into its normal form while still keeping his distance, Kennedy asked, "If it isn't too personal, what do you do for a living? With that armor, I'd assume you were a mechanic, and possibly a blacksmith. Maybe an engineer?"

Męka Niki gritted her teeth. "Nothing," she said. "I do nothing. I'm useless."

Kennedy waited a second or two, hoping she was joking and would laugh before saying something else, but looking at her expression, Kennedy felt hurt. High amount of skill, but such low self-esteem - or, at least, such a strong will to not do something. But... what do I know? "I don't think you're useless," said Kennedy. "You certainly have an enormous amount of ability - you just have to devote yourself." Kennedy then blushed a little. "Er, what I mean is, you be you. Not trying to tell you how to live your life. Just... come and attack me. I don't know what to say." That's a first. I usually would've had some speech ready by now.

Męka Niki lowered her chainsaws, disheartened. "I can't do it," she said, "and you apparently can't, either, so why don't we just leave the arena? I don't think that either of us staying here would help anything."

Kennedy looked at his teammates. They seemed to be faring well. Maybe he could just slip out. Kennedy nodded at Meka Niki. "Agreed. You seem like a kind person - if I got a reward for defeating you, I wouldn't feel too good." Kennedy looked at his teammates again before taking his eyes back to Meka Niki. "I don't think my teammates could say the same."

Męka Niki nodded at Kennedy in acknowledgement, folded her chainsaws into her arms, and left the arena, waiting a moment before doing so to make sure that Kennedy was leaving as well. Kennedy also left the arena, keeping his pride and wits in check.

Mac and Scarlet vs. Bopha[]

Meanwhile, Mac and Scarlet were flying high, with Mac having channeled the energy that was formerly in Heaven back in himself to turn into his High Tension form. Mac and Scarlet were on the left and right of Bopha (Scarlet on the left, Mac on the right), and charged up their projectiles. Mac put his arms in a "P" position and fired a yellow electric beam diagonally downwards at Bopha (named "Taser Laser). Scarlet, on the other hand, charged energy in her gun and fired a green beam of energy diagonally at Bopha (called "Overheat Cannon"). After they fired their attacks, Mac channeled electricity in himself and burst in the direction he fired his beam, and Scarlet charged herself in energy and did the same.

Mac and Scarlet succeeded in their mission of destroying the rock that Bopha had been in. However, they did not succeed in killing Bopha, because he simply wasn't there. He had been spying on them (not seeing what they had been thinking, of course, but looking at them) through a tiny hole in the rock that he had made to see what they were doing, and, upon realizing that they were going to obliterate him, he had used his geokinesis to move himself into the floor of the arena. The downside of this was that he emerged in a random spot, facing with his back towards Mac and feeling a bit disoriented. By the time he had gotten his bearings, Mac and Scarlet had nuked the giant rock. Taking the opportunity to act, he created a needle-shaped rock (about one inch thick and two feet long) and threw it at the back of Mac's head. The needle was dodged, however, for Mac and Scarlet were still bursting with energy, like falcons. Mac burst forward, trying to stab Bopha in the stomach and drag him all the way to the arena wall. Scarlet made circles around Bopha.

Bopha dodged to the side to avoid getting hit by Mac, but then pulled up to avoid getting hit by Scarlet. Thinking fast, he decided to once again launch himself into the air via a rock spike. After quickly dissolving the rock needle, Bopha began shooting streams of rock spikes down at Mac as he flew through the air. Mac was sent flying towards the arena wall instead, but he arced up and stopped in the air. Now at the same height as Bopha, he charged a lightning bolt in his fingers and fired it at Bopha, while the grounded Scarlet fired a laser at Bopha's head. Bopha's response was to dissolve his rock spikes, encase himself in a giant rock, and have that randomly fire rock spikes in all directions as the giant rock (with him in it) hurtled towards the ground. Scarlet leaped back, dodging Bopha and the rock spikes, but Mac was knocked out of the air by one of them. The two started rapidly running circles around Bopha, causing there to look like there were six pairs of Macs and Scarlet. This time, they didn't form a sandnado.

Bopha removed the giant rock, figuring that there wasn't much of a point in keeping it there any longer. Noticing that Mac and Scarlet were running around him, he used another rock spike to launch himself into the air, then placed more rock spikes under a few of their locations, trying to launch them into the air as well and hopefully put them at a disadvantage in doing so. Mac and Scarlet both dodged the rock spikes by being away from them while running, but that didn't stop them from attacking Bopha. Mac fired three lightning bolts at him, and Scarlet shot three static bullets. Both projectiles would paralyze Bopha if they hit.

Bopha dropped to the ground to dodge the projectiles; then, realizing that he was vulnerable, he shot back into the air, creating what appeared to be a bouncy-ball effect that was paused for a second in the middle. Having made himself dizzy, he decided to spin around in what he considered to be "the other direction" to make himself stop being dizzy. While doing so, he shot rock spikes in all directions around him, creating a hollow circle of rock spikes on the ground where the circle's edge would have been some several feet around him, had he been on the ground. Mac and Scarlet continued to jump around, dodging the rock spikes.

"I'm starting to get real bored of this dude," Mac said with a groan. "After helping a megolomaniac, stopping my robot friend from assisting an interdimenional madwoman, getting weird energy out of me, and helping another interdimensional madwoman, I guess dodging rock spikes just becomes boring." Mac then shrugged before bursting around again, making sure Bopha couldn't predict where he'd go. Scarlet followed (not behind him, but with his course of action).

Bopha, who had heard what Mac said, decided that it was time to switch up his plans. "Tired of rock spikes?" he said. "How about..." Grinning widely, he caused a structure to form out of his hands as he dissolved his rock spikes. "A rock lobster?" A giant lobster made of rock was created with Bopha's hands grasping its back. Swinging it over his head, he tried to slam it down. If it hit Scarlet or Mac, he'd swing it around at the, one who he didn't hit; if it didn't hit, he'd land on its back and use his geokinesis to have it start running around the area that they were fighting in, snapping its jaws at anyone who came close to it.

Mac growled when the rock lobster tried to swing its fist down and caught the attack, annoyed. He then looked to Scarlet, who jumped on top of the rock lobster and put two fingers on it, threatening to blow it up.

Bopha let Scarlet blow up the rock lobster. It just made his job easier for him, as it let him have more ammunition without having to focus on maintaining the lobster, plus it distracted Scarlet, leaving her wide open for an attack. While Scarlet was distracted blowing up the lobster, Bopha propelled himself further into the air, then created a lethally thin dart made of rock a few feet away from the back of Scarlet's head and threw it at the back of Scarlet's head. Mac saw the dart being thrown and burst at it, catching it with two fingers before it could hit Scarlet. Scarlet gave Mac a look that said "thank you," and then two waited for Bopha to make his next attack.

Bopha landed some distance away from Scarlet and Mac (in the direction that they were facing), then created a few more darts from behind Scarlet and Mac and threw them at various parts of the duo. Mac's eyes opened wide and he sweeped Scarlet up before inserting electricity into his legs. He then burst around, dodging the darts and coming to the left of Bopha when he was done going in random directions. Scarlet (while still in Mac's arm) fired three lasers at Bopha from her fingertips.

Bopha turned to face Mac and Scarlet, then dropped to the ground and slid towards them, supposedly to dodge the beams. However, when the beams had almost hit him, he created a short rock spike that intercepted the lasers. Bopha slid up the spike feet-first, then dissolved it and flipped around backwards, righting himself. Now at mid-range, Bopha created a large rock fist (slightly larger than Scarlet's head) and tried to punch Scarlet's torso with it. Scarlet punched the rock back with an energy-charged fist, causing it to explode. Mac flipped over Scarlet and fired three blasts of kinetic energy from his Flash Gauntlets.

Bopha rolled to the side, dodging Mac's attacks. He then created a rock shield in front of him. This shield then proceeded to fire rock spikes out of its center at Mac and Scarlet, accompanied by Bopha making machine-gun noises while grinning. Mac growled, annoyed with Bopha's apparent obsession with rock spikes, and fired a bolt of lightning at the rock wall, destroying the wall but not all of the individual spikes. Scarlet created an energy shield in front of Mac to deflect all of the rock spikes. Then, Mac put all of his High Tension energy into his sword, changing Angel into Heaven while reverting himself back to his base form.

"Hey, Scarlet, let's rush him!" he said, accompanied by a nod from Scarlet. The two took off running towards Bopha, who created a rock spike to launch himself to the side. This rock spike was also in Mac and Scarlet's direct path—being where Bopha had been a moment before—meaning that they'd slam into it if they didn't slow down fast enough.

Mac's eyes opened wide and grabbed Scarlet by the stomach before inserting lightning in himself, allowing them to bolt out of the way. Mac then winked at Scarlet and threw her up into the air in the form of a ball before leaping up and spiking her to Bopha. Then, Mac landed on the ground, equipped Heaven, and went running towards Bopha (though Scarlet would hit him first).

Bopha encased himself in a rock, then launched himself backwards out of the rock, still leaving the rock there for Scarlet to bang into. Scarlet crashed into the rock, not knocked out yet but a bit dazed when she got out of her Spin Dash form. Before Bopha could try anything funny, however, Mac jumped over Scarlet and raced to Bopha, trying to slash at his arm. In response, Bopha created a thick rock shield over the part of his arm that Mac was hitting at, then created a similar but spiky one over his other arm and tried to bash Mac in the head with it. Mac had to retreat one of the arms he was using to hold Heaven to push the bottom of Bopha's arm up, and because of that, he lost his grip on Heaven and ended up rolling under Bopha. Then, Mac twirled Heaven around and tried to slash across Bopha's torso.

Bopha created a rock shield just in time to block Heaven when it was a couple of inches from his chest. He then encased himself in rock, dissolved that (realizing that Mac was at melee range and so it wouldn't help), and launched himself backwards, landing on his back. A rock wall rose out of the ground on all sides of him to protect him while he got to his feet. Mac tried to stab through the rock wall and trap Bopha inside it. Scarlet, meanwhile, was walking to the battle.

Bopha scooted backwards to dodge Mac's sword, moving the back of the rock wall further back to accommodate this. Then, dissolving the back of the rocky circle, Bopha calmly walked out the back, then rose into the air on a makeshift tower, where he proceeded to look down at Mac and Scarlet while trying to think up his next plan. Scarlet saw the makeshift tower, jumped off of Mac's shoulders (who was trying to get Heaven out of the rock wall), and boosted herself up to the middle of it. Crashing into one of the walls with a lot of force, Scarlet rolled into the tower, trying to locate Bopha.

Bopha, noticing that Scarlet was inside the tower instead of on top of it, brought the tower down on her, trying to crush her inside of it, while jumping off of the tower and raining down rock spikes at Mac. Scarlet, seeing how the tower was beginning to come down, came out through the hole she came in and landed on the sandy floor of the arena. Mac fired bullets from Zip and Zap at the rock spikes, destroying them, before reloading his gun.

Bopha flew over Mac's head, landing behind him. He then created a giant spiky rock cube (about half Mac's height) and threw it at Mac. As soon as Bopha started to leap, Mac put his guns away and took out Heaven, and when he made it behind him and fired the projectile Mac sliced in vertically in half. Then, Mac stabbed Heaven into the ground, and underneath Bopha, a blue/white circle began to form before emitting electricity above, threatening to consume Bopha. In response, Bopha launched himself into the air again, used a dirt beam to shoot himself out of the range of the electricity circle, and then (because he felt like it) threw rocks that looked like wedges of Swiss cheese at Mac and Scarlet. Mac groaned and took Heaven out of the ground before slicing at the cheese-like rock projectiles. Mac then burst out towards Bopha in the air, stopping when he was only a few inches away from him before using electricity to boost himself up, when Scarlet fired three red lasers at Bopha's chest.

Bopha had dodged backwards to avoid Mac, but Mac had gained on him, so he created a giant rock shield in front of himself for Mac to smack into. When Mac dodged upwards and Scarlet shot lasers at Bopha's chest, Bopha dodged downwards, landing on the ground and leaving the rock in midair so that he could see how powerful Scarlet's lasers were. Before Scarlet could try anything, Mac stabbed Heaven downwards which also sent him south, trying to slice through the rock shield and Bopha .

Mac successfully sliced through the rock shield, but Bopha leapt to the side before Mac could slice through him. In his place, he left a rock about as tall as Mac was, inclined away from Mac, and with several long, thick, and sharp spikes sticking out of the side facing towards Mac. If Mac continued on his current trajectory, one of the many spikes was bound to impale him. Scarlet, seeing the threat that was made, fired a quick but weak laser at the rock, sending it at a different angle. Mac landed on the ground with Heaven before firing multiple blade beams at Bopha, trying to slice him up. In response, Bopha created a rock spike to launch him into the air and to the side, as well as causing him to spin in circles as he flew through the air and out of the way of the beams. As he did so, he launched rock spikes, sending them outwards from his position in all directions (although leaving him exposed in the area directly between him and the ground, and, of course, not hitting anything outside of a certain radius). Mac was almost hit by one as Scarlet raced over and grabbed his arm. Then, the two went behind the rock walls Bopha had made earlier.

"We need a plan," Scarlet said, grumbling. "He's too good at zoning us out. We're going to waste all of our energy trying to get one hit on him."

Mac scratched his chin for a few moments, processing what she'd said, before snapping his fingers. "If I give the energy I put in Angel to make Heaven, you might be able to have a larger supply. I won't be able to go TAI, sure, but if you can keep him busy, we'll be fine." Scarlet smiled in agreement, and Heaven glowed before going back to its normal form, Angel. The blue sparkles that came out of it went into Scarlet, whose aura shimmered brightly.

Seeing this, Mac decided it was time to distract Bopha. Jumping over the wall, he burst into the air as a streak of blue lightning, stopping when he was a meter away from Bopha. He'd then disappear, allowing Scarlet to fire static bullets from her gun.

While Mac and Scarlet had been planning, Bopha had been preparing. By the time Mac charged at Bopha, Bopha had summoned a sword, a shield, and a number of needles. When Mac charged at Bopha, Bopha blocked with the shield, then swiveled the shield to block Scarlet when Mac disappeared. Just in case Scarlet's bullets could penetrate Bopha's shield, Bopha also dodged to the side and threw the needles at Scarlet, swiftly creating more needles to compensate for the ones that he had just thrown. Scarlet, seeing the needles, burst around in speed, dodging them. Meanwhile, Mac reappeared behind Bopha and tried to grab him by the neck from behind and send them both falling to the ground in an electric explosion. Bopha whirled around, but was still grabbed by Mac. However, he was able to use his overall slipperiness derived from being an expert thief in order to slip out of Mac's grasp, then created a horizontal rock spike to launch him to the side, leaving Mac to likely fall on to the flat, harmless side of the rock spike.

Mac fired a bullet, using the recoil to flip him over and land feet-first on the flat side of the rock. Then, Mac put his arms in a "P" position and was surrounded by electricity before yelling "TASER LASER!" firing a large, electric yellow laser at Bopha. Bopha used a rock spike to launch him out of the way of the laser, causing the laser to hit the rock spike, which exploded in all directions. Bopha put up a large rock shield in front of him to shield him from the rocks flying at him, although this would make it harder for him to see who was in front of him. Meanwhile, bits of rock were also flying at Mac and Scarlet, as they had literally gone in every direction in a short range around where the rock spike had been previously.

Scarlet, seeing Bopha focused on Mac, took all of her energy away from her legs and jumped, allowing her to dispel the power and jump on the small rock spikes like she was controlling her weight. Then, she fired three static bullets at Bopha before flipping over, landing on a rock spike with one foot and reloading, though with difficulty. Mac tried to slash at the rock spikes, but they were so small they hit him like hail, and he was sent to the sand.

Bopha tried to dodge out of the way of the static bullets, not being able to create rock spikes due to having to maintain the ones hitting Mac and the rock wall. This inability to launch himself out of the way proved problematic for him, as he was only able to dodge two of Scarlet's bullets, causing the other one to hit him and slow him down tremendously. Realizing that it would be a snap for Scarlet to finish him off, but not wanting to go down without a fight, Bopha dissolved the rock wall, giving him extra power. Then, he multiplied, sharpened, and tried to drive in the rock spikes that were hitting Mac in an attempt to kill him, while waiting to sense Scarlet being close to him. If he could tell that Scarlet had approached him, he'd let off an explosion of rock spikes in a last-ditch attempt to bring Scarlet down with him. Mac, seeing that the rock spikes were sharpening, twirled his sword around in a circle, creating a makeshift shield and blocking them. Meanwhile, Scarlet saw that only one bullet hit, and fired three more at other parts of Bopha's body, hoping to fully stop him.

Bopha, a little surprised that this was not quite the end of the match but hopeful that this would allow him to have a likelier chance of winning, destroyed all bits of rock that he'd left around in order to launch himself to the side. However, upon doing so, he discovered that he couldn't properly get up. Creating a chair of sorts out of rock in order to move him into a seated position, he promptly began sending the chair swiveling at high speeds while he shot small rock spikes outwards in all directions. While he did that, Scarlet fired lasers behind her from her fingertips, blasting her forward, backward, left, right and all other directions, allowing her to dodge the rock spikes. Maybe I should rip off Kennedy for a sec... Scarlet fired a laser upwards-only thing, which never left her fingers, making it look like a large, transparent red energy sword. Scarlet brought it down, trying to slash Bopha in half. Mac kept twirling Angel.

Bopha created a giant rock shield in front of him to delay the sword, then thought better of it and created a rock spike to launch him backwards. As he flew backwards through the air, he turned into a makeshift Spin Dash and spun all the way to the far side of the arena, launched up the wall, then bounced back towards the arena. At this point, not being in the best mental state, he decided that it would be a good idea to make a pair of rock wings, causing him to comically faceplant into the sand. Although Bopha appeared to be down for the count at this point, he was actually still scanning the area to see what Mac and Scarlet would do next, plus he was using this to wake him up enough to be able to deal with his opponents better. Seeing that Bopha was down, Scarlet fired the sword-laser at Bopha, and Mac slashed multiple times and fired blade beams at Bopha, trying to finish him off. At this point, Bopha once again activated his trump card; being able to simply sink into the floor. Bopha then stayed in the floor for a few seconds while attempting to finish recuperating.

Mac was about to use a large-scale version of Infernal Flash when he saw Scarlet looking at him. "Not right now. Plus, if he's done there, chances are we won't-" Mac, not wanting to wait any longer, stabbed his sword into the ground, electrocuting the sand (and though Mac was unaffected, Scarlet had to jump on top of his shoulders to avoid it). The electricity didn't cause any visible change, but it did startle Bopha into moving over into another location a few yards away and accidentally momentarily sticking out his elbow above ground before pulling it back underground. Mac, seeing it, leaped over to where he'd seen Bopha (while Scarlet held tight to his shoulders) and stabbed Angel into the ground again, proceeding to use the same attack.

Meanwhile, Bopha, who wasn't right by Mac any more, wandered around underneath the arena, eventually resurfacing in a distant bit of the arena, behind Mac, but with his back to Mac and a significant distance from him. Bopha then stopped for a second or two to get his bearings. Mac, realizing he'd be wasting his energy if he continued, sighed, and when Scarlet noticed, she got off of him. The two waited for Bopha to make a move, but Bopha, upon turning to face them, waited also, taking the time to make a plan. Noting to no one in particular, "I like waiting," he casually pulled out the static bullet and flicked it to his side. Mac, seeing Bopha a bit distracted as he removed the bullet, raced towards Bopha before Spin Dashing, aiming for a High Tension electric Spin Slash. Surprised, Bopha managed to react fast nonetheless, launching himself into the air via a rock spike. As a bit of an afterthought, he caused smaller, but sharp spikes to launch out of that spike, which then (as yet another afterthought) detached and homed in on Mac. Mac landed on the ground and slip, dodging some of the rock spikes, before twirling Angel, cutting the rest up. Then, Mac burst into the air, disappearing while in front of Bopha before firing an electric laser at him from above.

Bopha hadn't been expecting the laser, and he got hit hard by it, slamming down violently to the ground. A second later, he got up, trembling violently and clearly injured. A red aura appeared near his feet, slowly moving upwards towards his head. In an unnaturally deep voice, he said, "This is the end," then shot a barrage of super-fast red laser beams both ahead of and to both sides of Mac. As he did so, the aura climbed up to his knees. Mac fired multiple homing lasers that clashed with Bopha's, cancelling each other out while Scarlet fired fast lasers behind Bopha, trying to blast through him.

This guy is such an emo, the two members of Team Mask thought simultaneously.

Bopha rose into the air via a combination of his geokinetic powers and his final form's laser powers, continuing to fire lasers at Mac (and incidentally dodging Scarlet's lasers). He then spun around, rapidly firing lasers at everything in a circle around him, as the aura climbed up the lower part of his torso. Mac burst around with electricity in the air, and Scarlet flipped and ran around, allowing the to dodge the lasers. However, one of Bopha's lasers headed straight for Mac, and Mac put Angel up to block it, knocking him high into the air, though he still had control of his body. Meanwhile, Scarlet fired plasma bullets at Bopha's back.

Bopha countered the bullets with some lasers, then rapidly shot super-fast laser-backed rock spikes at in all directions. Because he wasn't paying any attention, some of them shot at the stands, although they were moving pretty slowly by the time that they got there and so would have been harmless to the spectators. Despite that, the ones that he launched at Mac and Scarlet would have been fairly damaging, if not lethal due to how close Mac and Scarlet were to him. While this occurred, the aura climbed up to halfway up his chest.

Mac was actually a bit far away from him, so he had a bit of time to react. Charging electricity in himself, Mac burst around the arena, dodging a couple of lasers while twirling Angel to deflect the rest. Then, to close in on Bopha, he fired a laser at one of his lasers, but Bopha's beam was stronger, hitting Mac downwards. Annoyed, Mac boosted himself to Bopha in what seemed to be an all-out lunge in order to grab him. Scarlet, on the other hand, fired a large, green beam from her gun that was right behind them.

Bopha waited for Mac and the green beam to nearly reach him, then sharply dodged downwards, using his geokinetic powers to go right through the floor of the arena and come up right afterwards behind Scarlet. He then rose into the air, shooting lasers in a circle around him as he rose, creating a cylindrical field of lasers. As he did this, the aura started rising up his face, and he started breathing heavily as it passed his mouth and nose. It was clear that he wasn't going to be able to keep this up for much longer. Mac muttered a curse as he was hit by all of the respective lasers, knocking him into his base form and sending him flying into the sand. He looked damaged, but if Bopha moved a muscle, Scarlet had ten lasers ready at each of her fingertips to shoot.

Bopha, not seeing Scarlet, shot towards Mac at high speed, rapidly firing a barrage of lasers at Mac. The aura climbed up his head at a rate whereby, upon either colliding with either Mac (if Mac didn't move) or the ground (if Mac did), the aura would reach the top of Bopha's head, at which point Bopha would unleash a sphere of red energy that would severely damage or kill anyone in a wide range around him, then pass out. Mac, seeing the lasers, rolled over, dodging them but still damaged. Scarlet, enraged by Bopha ignoring her and going insane against Mac, raced behind him, causing sand to go out in all direction behind him. She tried putting two fingers to Bopha's back and firing a laser through him, which would pierce through his skin and his heart. Bopha hit the ground and was hit by Scarlet's lasers, killing him. However, he had started unleashing the energy sphere just before he was hit by Scarlet's lasers, meaning that, despite his death, the sphere continued to moving outwards rapidly, likely consuming both Scarlet and Mac if they didn't manage to quickly get far away.

Scarlet, seeing this as a threat, burst backwards with energy charged in her to avoid it, sadly acknowledging she wouldn't be able to save Mac. Slightly disappointed in herself, Scarlet got to the wall of the arena before putting up a force field while Mac was disintegrated by Bopha's attack.
