"Uh, no," Jeff said looking carefully at the lava far below him. "No objections from me. Hey, I won. Why would I object?" He voice grew more uneasy, worrying that Leon would, at any moment, drop him out of spite.

"Very well, then." Leon casually moved Jeff back to a spot on the bleachers (or above, due to the anti-gravity). Sighing, he read the next names from the combatant lists. "Oh, this ought to be good," he smirked. "Up next, for what will perhaps be the second real fight of the tournament: Fan favorite, the reality altering amnesiac Random Girl!"
The crowd that Leon had salvaged from the previous arena all burst into applause. They, too, were eager to see another fight, the excitement from Perish's match having finally worn off.
"And..." Leon raised his eyebrow questionably at the paper. "Hmm. Well, it seems I wasn't provided with a list of adjectives to describe this one. Whatever. It's the Illusive Squid." Pocketing the list and jumping back to his lifeguard chair, he summoned a massive, dangerous looking book in front of him and began poring through its pages. "Oh, yea, you two can find your own way into that prism. I've got some reading to do." He waved his hand toward the ring, almost as if he were shooing the combatants away. "Round 5: Fight."

Immediately after appearing in the arena, the squid started making his way towards the prism, using his beard tentacles to propel him through the air as through he were swimming. Upon reaching it, he turned to face the audience and yelled, "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEE!!!" And then his theme song started playing. With no other discernible source, it seemed to be coming directly from him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lsn2tT5yTc |

Jeff awkwardly seated himself, somewhat disappointed. He was beginning to realize how much he had been looking forward to the fight. Since being pulled here, he had not had a real opportunity to explore his abilities. Heroes' Refuge didn't count because he had only been discovering his abilities then. Although he did make a mech once...right before he assisted in the accidental mass slaughter of quite a few hobos.
Good times...
"Wait a minute." A secret pit in his stomach opened up and dumped his heart into his large intestine along with all the food he's eaten in (how long had it been? He counted on his fingers...a few hours. "Jesus, it feels like it's been almost a year or something") the last few hours. His head snapped right and fixed his gaze squarely on Perish.
"I...I have to fight...that..."
He very nearly wet himself.
"Don't worry," Xeltyr said, suddenly standing on his other side, staring at him. "Perish hates you least. Your death will be quick and painless." Then Zelmon dragged him away, muttering something about not disturbing the dead.

Perish had still played the part of the smouldering corpse quite well, not responding to stimuli regardless of its source, even if she had a couple of slightly intrigued or frustrated thoughts about any given situation -like the match defaulting on its winner, to that annoying Squid that was probably just under Dayman in her ranked list of hated people. Then again that list was pretty big and seemed to change a bit, as she was still uncertain of just how much she hated that Sailor Eros or whatever for even starting this wedding and then subsequent wedding ring side quest -to say nothing of the bright idea of rules-changing for Perish's match.
It probably wouldn't have been so bad if both contestants weren't all-but immune to her newly designed 'Death Hug'. Or her rage-splosion... didn't seem like anyone was hurt except Perish, but she'd sorta gotten over it now.
What she really needed right now was a nice juicy source of blood, and there was an awfully large audience...

As the crowd was cheering, fireworks sprayed out of the entrance to the prism as this beautiful number started playing. www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=A67OAOyJ9DkDancing cats and all. These funky felines formed a tunnel as Random Girl skipped in. She twirled her scarf, and sparks flew off of the ends. She smiled and tilted her hat. "I'm Random Girl, and I'm about to kick your ass! Nice to meet you." |

Ignoring the fact that the two vastly different songs playing at the same time should be giving anyone unfortunate enough to be within earshot a horrible headache, the Illusive Squid replied, "Very well, though I've never found kicks to the hindquarters to be particularly effective." Like he did before hugging Perish, he ate the shit out of something that was in his pocket. He suddenly appeared a foot and a half away from Random Girl and yelled, "GET KICKED IN YO FACE!"
And then she did. By him.

The kick made her do some sort of backwards somersault, and she sort of hopped up on her feet. "Nice to meet you, too. I'm Random Girl, and these are my friends!"
She then proceeded to make a trumpet with her hand over her nose and blow. A big white, gooey looking bubble came out until it was about the size of a beach ball, then exploded. Out came six little puppies made out of marshmallow. They immediately started to run around, tracking marshmallow everywhere, heading straight towards the Illusive Squid. Random Girl smiled proudly. "That's the one trick I know! After that, it's...well, random."

"HOLY MOTHER OF SQUID, MARSHMALLOW PUPPIES!!" The Illusive Squid got down on all fours, and began eating the deliciously fluffy animals as they approached him. After he devoured the last one he stood up and said, "Well that was fizzing delicious. So are we going to fight, or are you just going to keep feeding me? I mean, I'm perfectly okay with either, so it's whatever."

"Well, I can try shooting food out of my hand, but trust me it does not go well. I tried to be a chocolate fountain once, and then the whole building imploded, so I'd go with no...." Random Girl put a hand on her hip and rubbed her chin for a moment. "Am I at a party? Am I supposed to be food again? Hmmm...Oh well, chocolate it is."
She proceeded to spin around at incredible speeds until she looked more like a flowy fountain than a girl, but instead of delicious chocolate, acid splashed out of her, spraying everywhere. "Careful, it's hot," Random Girl said completely unaware of the irony. As far as she was concerned, she was chocolate.

Even the Illusive Squid was at a loss. He knew they were supposed to be fighting, but he was a gentlesquid, and he had moral standards. Attacking this girl just seemed... cruel. As he sidestepped around the chocolate, he gave Leon a look that said, ...Seriously?

Not glancing up from his book, Leon muttered "Hey, don't look at me. You guys are the ones who crashed this tournament and insisted on fighting." He turned a page. "Besides, she's a crowd favorite for a reason...She's a lot more dangerous than you realize."

The Illusive Squid sighed. "Very well then." He drew his guns, and aimed them at Random Girl. "I sincerely apologize if you aren't actually as dangerous as he says, but I have my own reasons for needing to win this tournament." He pulled the triggers, and as the cylinders turned there were not darts that shot out of the ridiculous-looking weapons, but actual .50 caliber bullets, and they were flying straight for Chocolate Girl's head.

Random Girl stared right at the bullets, smiling an almost uncomfortably creepy smile. At the last second, her body turned to jello, and the bullet went right through her. She then melted down and reformed with wings. As she flew up in the air, she looked down at the Illusive Squid. "I should probably tell you a little about my powers. You see, I didn't know I was going to turn to jello, or melt, or grow wings, but I had sort of an idea. My memory is too messed up to really focus my powers, but I can get a vague idea. I know I didn't need tone a solid figure, so I became jello. I knew I needed to get away, and I got wings."
She spiraled downward and slammed into the prism withher feet, creating a shattering shock wave that collapsed part of the prism. "But you wanna know what the best part is? I'm completely unpredictable. You can't project my moves, you can't study my body, and a mind reader couldn't even beat me. The battle field is where my focus is....and I'll probably forget all about it once it's over, but for now, I can remember to win. That's why I'm a favorite."
Fire exploded from her body, scorching her surroundings. She aimed her arms towards the Illusive Squid and fired. "That was actually supposed to be water, but you know....elements."

Just before the fire hit the Illusive Squid, his body suddenly turned to stone. "Well," his voice was coarse, like that of most rock-monsters, "this is... interesting. You talk a lot, by the way." He returned to his gunslinger form, but this time he too had wings. He elevated himself to the same height as Random Girl, held his guns out, and fired again. This time however, the one in his left hand fired a stream of ink instead of a bullet. She had to be weak against something.

Random Girl thought of something solid and turned to steel, falling back onto the prism. She then turned back to her normal self and tried to wipe off the ink. "Talking helps a little bit since just thinking doesn't do much. What was your name again?"

The Illusive Squid grinned. "Prove yourself to me, and I shall tell you my true name. Until then, you may call me the Illusive Squid." He flattened out his body, and flew at Random Girl at the same speed as the bullets he had been shooting. At the moment his head collided with her, it shifted between a dozen different materials within a second. Some of these materials were hard, others soft, some hot, some cold, etc.

Random Girl turned around after Illusive Squid phased through her. "You know, I forgot your name. But I know who you need to meet. MARSHMALLOW PUPPIES!"
Just like before, she blew a bubble, but this time it was a huge bubble. Out popped a hundred marshmallow puppies that leached onto the Illusive squid. As soon as they attached, they began to expand and weigh Jim down.
"Awwww, they like you."

"Sorry, but I'm already full." Landing on the prism, the Illusive Squid laid down and began rolling around at the speed of sound. The marshmallow puppies flew off of him like they had places to go, and had to follow their rainbow. Unfortunately, most of them ended up incinerating in the heat of the volcano, and the prism became covered in a white, sticky mess. Keeping himself afloat just above the deliciously messy surface, he said in a mildly annoyed tone of voice, "I don't suppose you want to make this easy on me and just tell me what can hurt you, by any chance?"
