NPF Avatars 6, Chapter (6?)7: Didn't your momma tell you not to fight?

[PyrosNine]

The girl, now back at the stage held up a flag.

"Will all victors, as well as all combatants who haven't fought, please step up to the stage? We have one or two more matches and then we're done here!"
* * *

Flare awoke to find herself in the care of ChillMongoose.

"Oh no no no! I never meant to harm you with that spear! I thought you would catch it!" Chill cried blonde tears, having never thought that a spear thrown from an airplane would be hard to catch.

She bandaged Flare up really well, and then attempted to give her hot soup!

* * *

Pyros looked back to the teacher guy, and shrunk a bit. "Uh, uh. I totally didn't drop a Hamsterball on people, no sir, Oninzuka-Sensei! Nor was I smoking and cheating on my last test!"

Bruticus groaned a bit, prompting Pyros to kick him a gain while wearing shades and typical schoolyard punk style clothes.

"See? I'm just practicing my kick for the soccer game this afternoon!"

* * *

Rabid-FMA-Fangirl screamed as the darkness covered her.

"Oh no! I see the other side of the gate! Now that whore Envy will try to steal Edward from Mustang! I have to call upo-"

Whatever she had to call upon was moot, because at that moment JormyguardSnake kinda rolled over her, removing the shadows, breaking a few bones, and messing up her hair.

"Aha! I knew it! ENVY! THOU SHALT DIE!" She said, referencing the movie, as she went over to attack the giant snake.

[Intern Nin]

Oninzuka sipped some coffee he had pulled out of nowhere.

"I'd say that you completely forgot what I said earlier about the curse. And that you've never even heard of Ranma 1/2."

The great teacher splashed the hot liquid on Megas SSB's leg, causing him to change from a forty-foot robot car to a 5'8" human wearing a hooded robe.

"Oh by the way, that report that was due three weeks ago is still due three weeks ago. There had better be a report written by you on my desk tomorrow. Or maybe a girly magazine bribe for more time. Either one would be good."

Oninzuka turned to Pyros.

"That's one brutal kick you got there. Keep practicing and you might end up a professional soccer player. Or a yakuza hit-man. Well, keep up the good work."

He hopped onto his motorcycle that was conveniently parked right next to him in the crater and took off into the sunset. Then turned around and headed back when he realized that class wasn't over yet.

[GARUD]

"So, did I win?"

Garud collapsed on the floor again, hoping for rain... or drool. Right now, he was in too much pain to care, as long as the fire was put out.

"Shoulda included a water power in my Bio, but noooo. I must remain all dark powers, to keep up consistency."

Garud pulled out the book of shadows, and looked for a rain/water spell. That was when the book caught on fire. Desperately he flicked through the pages, but he needed a miracle. Or water. Or anything to put the fire out.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

"Wretched ninja's I'll show..."Daimo began before he was cut off. Somewhere, a song was playing. To Big Mac, music was his life. It was said he was born with a guitar in one hand, a mic in the other. To him, music was a necesary part in his life, as was oxygen and water.

Music had it's influences on the young man and it's effects reached deep into his Psyche. "What in the name of the Great Old Ones is that noise." Daimo roared as he grabbed his head nad fell to his knees. The music, which was being played from an unknown source began to wreak havoc on Daimo's mind. "I shall tear this building apart to silence it," he said as fireballs were being thrown around by him.

But it was no use, Daimo fell over into an unconscious state, his breathing calming down.

[Arhra]

"Your attack is bad and you should feel bad!" Arhra I shouted at Pyros8 as he counter attacked with exploding balls of fire after taking the hit from Arhra V's death ray and her own glacial ray.

Arhra V set off the fireballs headed in her direction with some sort of finger beam while her arm cannon shifting into some sort of long, thin launcher device. "If you're going to attack, stop half-assing it old man!"

Arhra I, being a considerably larger target, did not have as easy an option. But precision was overrated anyway.

"FREEZE LANCER!"

Arrha V rose up on her (ice naga'd) coils and held out a hand. A dense disc of mist appeared before it and began firing of a volley of (giant Arhra sized) magical ice knives.

Her cyborg counterpart targeted Pyros again and readied her own new devastating projectile.

"MONEY SHOT!"

Arhra V fired a diamond spike out of her new railgun array, a blazing trail of fire in its wake.

Arhra I turned in confusion. "You can shoot diamonds?"

"Testing out my carbon organiser!" Arhra V replied brightly.

[PyrosNine]

Inside Daimo's head, he met his other....the one whom he'd taken over in the spaceship.

Furthermore, he also met that strange green speaking girl again, except this time in a swimsuit.

"For our next fight, we have Big Mac vs... DAIMO!"

***

Outside Daimo's head, more Ninja girls found their clothes on fire, and were forced to take them off.

"Seriously! This curse is plain mad! I'm thinking I even fit the description of lolicon!" Suzu griped, grabbing a great crested piece of cloth off the walls, covering herself.

She then saw the unconcious Daimo.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, but his threat level went down. You guys, take care of our opponent, I will take care of him."

She reached into her pocket. Attacking sleeping foes was an okay part of a ninja's honor, after all.

But then again, a cursed ninja may find sometimes the simplest tasks difficult.

Suzu-alike pulled out a magic marker (the arts and crafts kind, not the magic magic marker) and loomed over Daimo/Bigmac.

* * *

As Garud pondered his own death and the need for flames to get off of him, a sudden splash of water hit him, hitting the fire on his back (heating it), and transforming him back into his human self.

"Hrrrmppphhh!" An Elephant made elephant noises, as the Elephant that Pyros suddenly remembered that Newb had launched at Zodick sprayed the wet Garud down.

5 minutes earlier~

Zodick felt the pain of being hit with an elephant, and the coins went scattering everywhere, which continued for some while, as a giant hellhog and an elephant falling through a clocktower inevitably leads to some bumping into each other pretty hard, sending a great many coins through the air, many of which were up for grabs for Newb.

Falling into the basement, Zodick quickly picked up the Elephant and hurled it out of the building, straight into a convenient water hazard.....from there, it saw Garud.

Meanwhile, Zodick stared down Newb. It was just like an intense struggle match, the battle they shared, except instead of dropping colored orbs, Zodick dropped rings and Newb dropped blood and organs!

* * *

Pyros8 had been hit with a moneyshot, that left him with a diamond in his gut.

"Well, well. You aren't merely twin poppets ready to burn in the fireplace. But I dare say your insults to my godly hood shall be tolerated no more."

With that, Pyros8 got serious-er. A giant wall of flame erupted from him, turning the entire room into an inferno and sweeping the two Arhra's off their...well, one of them had feet.

The ground itself was molten, and painful to the touch, while Arhra I found the intense heat bad for her icy self.

Arhra V found Pyros8 ready to shove a burning hand into her face in the shape of a fist, himself burning as hot as magma.

[PyrosNine]

To avoid making another Edit, Phil made a long , laborious trek through the level, until entering the most unfair Koopa Castle ever invented.

Fortunately, Boshi, being Pyros's favorite yoshi, proved to be a trusty steed and safely got him all the way to his destination...

Whereupon Boshi got hit by a hammer and ran off.

Before Newb...there was King Koopa. Black as night, armed to the teeth with hammers, fireballs, frisbees, and the occasional thrown goomba.

And behind him...was the drawbridge...and upon it, was King Koopa as well. Rainbow colored, F'ing huge, and spitting more fireballs in support of the first King Koopa.

Phil was in a pickle!

Newb was in a pickle suit!

[Loyal]

Quite the decision Loyal had on his hands. Death, or vegetation? The greater good, or the greater Loyal? True, killing Thad would grant him powers untold, but many of these were quite out of line with what he preferred to work with. And Alan said nothing about his acquisition of the Deathwish being tied to Thadius' death either.

For Loyal to kill him now would be crossing a line he hoped never to cross, even if in the end it would be helping a... friend. The only times he ever had to kill another human were when someone else's life was on the line... and even then it was rather unpleasant.

When it came right down to it there was no reason for Loyal NOT to kill Thadius other than his own pride... but his loyalty...

Do it.
Nexus?
He's useless now. Even if you kept the body alive, the soul is long gone. There is no reason to keep it alive... and every reason to finish it off.
.....

Loyal drew the Lightbinder from its hilt and stared with an icy gaze at the lifeless husk before him.

"Please. Before someone else comes along and--"

"Shut it, Alan." Loyal barked with the hardest edge in his voice that he could muster. "This is more important than you realize!"

Loyal closed his eyes and considered just walking away. He started putting the Lightbinder away...





...And then before the blade touched the scabbard, whipped it back around and plunged it into the Assassin's heart. He kept it in there for a good minute, both hands on the hilt... arms covering his face to hide the pained expression.

"Gods damn you, Thadius. I hope you're happy now."

[GARUD]

*Garud looked over at what saved his life. A large elephant. It was all wrinkly, but cute otherwise. Garud went over to pat it, and gave it a hug. Just as he celebrated his victory, a familiar voice rang in Garud's ears.*

"BIG BROTHER! WERE ARE YOU?"

"Oh, freaking great."

*Thorque came up to Garud. Garud gestured at the elephant.*

"Look, I got you a present. See, an Elephant. Now take him home."

"WHEEEE! I'm going to call you Stinky!"

*With that, Thorque effortlessly lifted Stinky, and with his Dragoon Skillz, Jumped very far away. Garud smiled.*

"That should keep him out of my hair for a while. Soooo... whats next?"

[Thadius]

Still in a lower dimension!

Thadius felt a jolt. Loyal must have finally finished him off. He was finally all here now. Before, it felt like parts of him were missing. Now is when it got dangerous. Since both of his feet were well and truly in Hell now, he was far more vulnerable. He only grinned a lot more.

"You know, guys, I'd slow down my killing of you all if you would point me in the direction of The Slayer!"

One of the demons, right before his head was chopped off, pointed towards one particular volcano on the horizon. Thadius began making his way there, slaying all who stood in his path. It was significantly less, now that he'd demonstrated he could withstand almost anything they threw at him, but there were still a few who thought to do battle with Thad.

----------

Thad's body glowed, and dark streams of energy twisted out of his lifeless body. They traveled along the Lightbinder and into Loyal, bestowing him with the power of the Lord of Assassin. Enhanced reflexes, enhanced speed, enhanced hearing. Almost every attribute of Loyal that related to thievery was augmented. And there was one final thought from Thadius in there as well.

I'm...sorry...

Meanwhile, Alan was noticing a distinct lack of security going on in some sectors, along with a temporal anomaly in the same. He couldn't access the sectors in question, something was interfering with them. He could, however, trace the interference to another AI. One that was distinctly female. He opened a comms line directly to the AI in question.

"+++Technically, if we were human, you would be committing the 'breaking and entering' crime, m'dear. So either you tell me why you're hiding those sectors from me and what's in them, or you get the hell out of my processing system before I downgrade you to DOS.+++"
