Smokey landed on the black floor outside the ring and, supporting himself with his shovel, rose to his feet. Turning to face Pyros and TBMoro, Smokey laughed briefly before he charged back toward the ring, readying his shovel for another attack.

Noting the situation, Rei dropped to the ground next to the obviously disappointed duo and, patting them on the back supportively, informed them of the flaw in their plan.

"He's, um... He's not a contestant."

Blue nodded and began searching for the scientist while Red and Green began smacking ineffectually at the receptionist. As they continued striking, though, the power of their strikes began to grow.

****************

TEN glanced sideways at Amalgam, and then vaulted over the bars which were probably intended to keep spectators from entering the arena, and Amalgam followed after him. "Non-contestants can enter the fray, then, is what you are saying?" The Mesden look-alike and the disturbed triplet began advancing menacingly on the real Mesden.

POS Industries · 06-04-2007, 05:18 PM

TEN and Amalgam suddenly found themselves hurtling through the stratosphere with rocket boots strapped tightly to their feet. Had they not jetted off so fast, they might have caught Rei explaining that Smokey's presense was the result of a summoning spell, which is acceptable as opposed to people just leaping from the stands and accosting the competitors.

PhoenixFlame · 06-04-2007, 05:39 PM

Raven, the ECS Isparlian's avatar AI gave a "idle script" yawn as she gazed out the viewscreen of a very empty bridge. Most of the crew were going about their daily lives as Phoenixcorp employees, but it came to her attention that two target beacons had recently lit up in low orbit over the Pedrodome.

"Ah, our little rocket boots have found their victims..." Fleet-Command Raven (not to be confused with KP's Raven) yawned, bringing "herself", if a large corporate dreadnaught-class vessel could be considered a body, into position.

Meanwhile, outside...

Amalgam and TEN floated blissfully in the sea of stars, only to be met with a colossal lumbering form of Phoenix's capital ship "above" them. Paired points of bright red light appeared over the hull, as a pair of anti-fighter beam cannons powered up to vaporize their remains.

Bailey · 06-04-2007, 05:41 PM

Amalgam's golem form, indestructible as always, opened his chest compartment and began digging through, looking for a specific item... ah, yes, an item which embodied the total absence of rocket boots. Putting the not-rocket-boots on, the rocket boots ceased to be on his feet.

TEN, meanwhile, having already died from atmospheric friction, seemed to be trying to be three different people at once; Pedro, Rei, and PF. He finally settled on PF.

The two Newbs slowed, no longer being propelled, and then Amalgam pulled out an escape pipe, looped his arm around TEN, and activated it, teleporting the two of them to the ground outside of the stadium just as the Isparlian's weaponry fired through the space that they would have been occupying.

"Well," TEN said, blinking, "THAT went well. What say we go get some donuts and come back later?"

PyrosNine · 06-04-2007, 05:45 PM

Pyros got back up. He was ticked. He was pissed. He'd been attacked in the back by some guy named "Rork" or something. They would pay. They would all pay. Not even Smokey's anti-flame abilities would keep him from burning in hell.

Pyros started scratching at himself it was as if his skin alone was another hindrance to him. He scratched, and peeled, and then finally, ripped off his skin to reveal something so horrid, so hideous, so elongated and snake like that it wa..wait a tick! I was promised something worse! Pure Chaos pyros! I was expecting that....that over there...It's just Asheth in a bunny girl costume holding a microphone!

"Check it!"

Outside of the arena, encircling the tower, a dozen enormous Speakers erupted from the ground. They were outside so they were not weapons or tools summoned into the arena, but the sound from them was so audible it could be heard within the arena, and then some.

Asheth is now totally here,
Asheth's gonna make it clear,
Asheth's gonna sing a song for you,
Specially if you're feeling bluuuuuueee!

To all those watching, it would seem as though Pyros/Asheth had merely lost his mind, and was singing as a show of defeat.

But to those who knew and feared it, (Mesden, Raiden, Incendius, ...Krylo (who didn't fear it all that much)) it was obvious and terrible what was happening. Pyros himself only used it as a last resort. Using the great scope of his madness and chaos, Pyros shifted the very scope of reality dangerously, with the power of funk! or Country. Sometimes Rap. Never Techno (unless there's a strong lyrical track)

To put it plain, whatever Asheth sang, would effect the very nature of the world around her with the chaos powers. It couldn't summon anything into the arena (despite what the bear did), but it could create a phantom universe where those things existed temporarily and were able to interact with the real universe.

For instance, if Asheth sang a tragic song about how it was so dark and cloudy, and the rain was almost as tragic as the heavy rain pouring in her heart, then the weather would become pouring rain. Also if she sang that you were gonna be eaten up like as if by a hungry hungry hippo, you'd be mauled by a chaos created phantom hippo.

It was truly terrible, and it had happened only a few times before....

"Now, for my first song, a lively school fight song!"

"Oh, we've reached summer, It's summer!
With nothing to do We can just lie in bed!
Bears working for the man are a bummer!
If they boss us, we'll punch them in the head!"

A horde of unruly sophomores charged towards Smokey, who now seemed to be wearing a mix of a police officer's uniform and a generic teacher's outfit.

POS Industries · 06-04-2007, 06:02 PM

As the schoolchildren mobbed toward him, Smokey had no other alternative but to begin strumming on his shovel, somehow producing the sound of an acoustic guitar as he began to sing his song...

"With a Ranger's hat and shovel
and a pair of dungarees,
you will find him in the forest
always sniffin' at the breeze.
People stop and pay attention
when he tells 'em to beware,
'cause ev'rybody knows that
he's the Fire Prevention Bear."

Mesmerized by his tune, the sophomores began to join Smokey in a sing along...

"Smokey the Bear, Smokey the Bear.
Prowlin' and a growlin' and a sniffin' the air.
He can find a fire before it starts to flame.
That's why they call him Smokey,
That was how he got his name..."

As the song continued, the children fell further under his thrall, learning the basics of fire prevention and promising that they would do whatever they could to help their new friend Smokey fight forest fires.

Starting with the total obliteration of Pyros Nine.

PyrosNine · 06-04-2007, 06:24 PM

"I see your song, and raise you fifty decibels!" Asheth wowed, as an awesome out of control electric went along.

"PUBERTY!"
*insane guitar riff*
"CHANGES EVERYTHING!"
*insane guitar riff*
"Don't trust anything, ANY MOooooooooooooooooooooooRE!"
*long heavy metal guitar screech!*
"I just wanna break, I Just wanna break! I just want..... aaaAAAOOOOOOHWWW! EXPLOOOOOOOOORE!
*Madness fueled Guitar Solo!*

The students proceeded to discover the strange awkward changes that came when you were midway on your way to adults, which led to much wildness and fraternisation.

The majority started smoking, drinking, and breaking beer bottles dangerously close to the bear they stood by, while others started exploring each other's bodies on the ground. A few even joined groups and wore black because the world didn't understand them.

Only two still remained with Smokey, vowing to fight fires, but one of those two was also interested IN smokey, and was seductively rubbing his back.

Asheth sniffed and rubbed her eyes. "They grow up so fast....oh, and aaaaaaaAAAAAOOOOOOOHWha!"
Damn, she thought, the power screech was so cool!

TheBlindMime · 06-04-2007, 07:45 PM

TBM decided to start backing away slowly when Pyros changed into Asheth in one of the most disturbing and potentially messy ways possible. He started running away when the dance magic began. Fortunately though he had the time he needed to regain his breath but now who to attack.

Rhiya looked to in trouble... but attacking her now would be dishonorable, also kinda mean. IC seemed to be sailing high into the sky to face his destiny of KO or ring out also dishonorable, Pheonixbot was a giant now. Then he saw his rival for this match, a man nay, a beast with unrivaled fighting abilities. Re-tying the end of his yo-yo thanks to it being cut previously TBM now had to deal with a much shorter attack radius. He'll have the advantage again, just like always.

"Hey BEAR!" TBM called out, pulling the bear away from his pie yet again. TBM then did a few Michael Jackson-esque pelvic thrusts, high pitched laughs and kicks, before grabbing his crouch and demanding, "Com-On-Uh! Lets dance!" His strategy obviously more then a little inspired by the battle many yards behind him.

No music started, no lights fell upon him, it was almost as if that kinda stuff didn't happen normally when you called out a dance battle. As the BEAR drew a confused look upon his face TBM sighed, "Screw it." He threw his yo-yo straight towards the BEAR's face hoping to strike his ugly mug in the nose.

POS Industries · 06-04-2007, 08:14 PM

And so, the kids had grown mostly into apathetic teenagers, and thus ceased to care about anything because, psh, whatever. Seeing the path before him altogether cleared, Smokey took a running charge and, striking his shovel upon the ground in front of him, vaulted through the air toward Asheth, swinging the shovel back around over his head to strike down the girl once and for all!

Elsewhere, the BEAR swatted away TBM's yoyo attack and raised onto its hind legs, roaring in answer to the challenge presented before him. A funky beat echoing from nowhere in particular, the electric boogaloo began...

If getting served was grounds for elimination, TBM would be off fighting fembots right about now.

--------------------------------

Meanwhile, Pedro was off fighting fembots right about now. Using fallen droids as shielding, he had managed to avoid the hallucinogenic darts fired by the receptionist. However, the sheer number of fembots and the new cannibalized zombie variations was creating too much of an impediment for him and the red and green Keymen to push through.

"Rei!" he called out into the air, "Find the hobo! Tell him we need to punch a hole through the floor in here, pronto!"

"You got it, Pe-chan!" the voice answered happily from wherever.

Suddenly, Pedro noticed a couple zombie fembots coming for him and tried to dodge their attack, getting cracked across the jaw by another fembot to his left.

...looks like you zigged when you should've zagged...

"What...?" Pedro muttered as he stumbled backward, quickly trying to regain his balance.

--------------------------------

Back in the spa itself, a holographic image of Rei appeared next to Fenris as he continued his own battle. "Mr. Hobo, Pe-chan says he needs you to come down to the control room and punch a hole through the floor, if you have a moment..."
