Well friends, I'm officially a homeowner.

With the two fire types getting ready to begin their fight, the three genesects had already began their assault. Charging a steel blast in each of their cannons, the three of them fired off a magnet bomb, each homing for Nine. Focusing inward on himself, the boy charged himself with a dark aura before sending it out in a wave, striking each of the blasts as they came towards him. Though he couldn't destroy all of them, the steel bombs weakened considerably as they struck into him, forcing the Chaser back. As the metal gijinka seemed primed to keep firing, they were then assaulted by a barrage of air blades from up above, as Vita continued to flap her wings and fire off hit after hit. The genesects looked to the sky now, seeing another foe and began to charge the cannon on their back. Firing one blast after the other, Nine shouted, "got you covered!" Charging both of his arms with darkness, the boy swung them in arc, firing two pulses to intercept the techno blasts in midair. With only one to dodge, Vita managed to descend at quick speeds to avoid the third. Looking towards the center of the three, Vita gestured towards them and began to start charging a white glow around herself. Nodding, Nine engulfed his arms in flames, swinging arc after arc of fire as the genesects began launching magnet bombs towards the woman. With his attacks winning out against the creature's, the flames managing to engulf the steel bombs and delay them, Vita seemed in the clear to go and attack. Rocketing forward, the woman charged into the center of the genesects before turning her flight path into an upward arc. The woman then spun, placing her feet on the airborne genesect before kicking off of it and diving straight towards the ground. Turning in an arc again, the woman flew parallel to the ground and turned to face one of the other genesects as she passed by them. With both of them turning towards her to start charging their cannons, the woman took a sharp breath in. Letting loose a blast of fire towards the one she was facing, the one behind her as well was hit with a stream of flame, both attacks smashing through the artificial gijinka before they could explode. Turning mid-air again, her back now facing Nine, Vita lowered herself so that her feet would hit the ground, skidding to a halt as her wings expanded outwards to parachute her as well. As the genesect that she had launched into the air was falling, now side by side with Nine, the two looked to each other and nodded. Before the creature landed, it was met with two powerful blasts of fire, tearing the creature to pieces before it even hit the ground. Letting out an impressed whistle, Nine said, "nice work out there Champ. A shame there's no doubles in the arena," the Houndoom joked before giving a wave to Vita. The two split off, Nine hurrying deeper into the battlefield. After making his way through more of the Genesects, Nine eventually got to a small group that seemed to have formed around, presumably, their destination. With a joke the Houndoom said, "well, seems like I'm the slow one of the bunch here." Continuing to make her way through the swarms of the metal gijinka, Marie's path was cut short as one landed in her path, seeming to lock on to the girl. Grimacing at the creature, Marie took a deep breath, letting loose an icy wind to strike at the creature. The Genesect didn't seem all that bothered by it, though the ice began to coat the creature and cause its movements to start jerking more. This did not stop it, however, from crouching and pointing its cannon at her, charging lightning in the barrel. Diving to the side, Marie hit the ground again, dodging the lightning beam as it harmlessly struck the ground. Letting out yet another stream of icy wind, towards the creature, it again didn't do much but slow the creature down. Working herself up, Marie sprung back up to her feet, firing a blast of water as the Genesect tried to charge up its attack yet again. With the electricity charging in its cannon, Marie fired another blast of water, this time into the cannon itself. The water mixing with the electricity cause the charge to short out, exploding a bit and destroying the cannon in the process. Now missing a part of itself, the creature began to slowly stumble its way towards her, glowing as it did. With a panic, Marie began to run the opposite direction, diving to the ground again, still being hit by the shockwave of the explosion as the creature detonated itself. Rolling on the ground, Marie picked herself back up again with a low, "oww." As she stood up, Marie was about to get back to running, when three more Genesects dropped down in front of her. Grimacing at the trio, Marie back away slowly as the three began to move towards her. Each of them locking onto her, each of them starting to change the element in their cannons as they began charging. "Duck now!" A familiar voice sounded out, that Marie decided to listen to as she ducked. An intense wave of heat followed, threatening to scorch the girl despite being under the main force of the attack, that blasted straight into the trio of Genesects. With one of them ignited and falling to the ground and the two others being injured as well, Marie couldn't do much but stare in awe. The girl blinked a few more times before a look of realization crossed her face. Standing up fully, the girl looked towards where the voice went and stammered out a, "M-Moltres!?" "Fufufu, you couldn't tell from those flames?" Moltres stood with her arms crossed and a cocky smirk. "I should be the surprised one seeing a small fry out here." Wide eyed with mouth agape, Marie was stunned at the sight of the legend before realizing what she said, her expression going to a half pout as a result. "Wh-what do you mean? I'm not small, in fact look," the girl threw her arms out to the side. "I'm much bigger and stronger then last time!" Moltres looked down at her and eyed her up and down before putting a warm hand on top of her head. "Huh, so you have. Maybe once you have one more time you can come and challenge me yourself eh?" She frowned. "But first there's these guys to worry about." She began to charge energy before rushing towards the nearest Genesect, wings spreading out and surrounded in a white light. Grinning from ear to ear as the legend praised her, the girl then snapped back to attention and pumped herself back up. "R-right! Take this!" The girl looked to the other Genesect, taking in a deep breath before going to let out yet another blast of water. The Genesect had been damaged by the blast, being knocked back though still moving towards the girl. Firing out a few shards of metal that peppered the Brionne, the girl grimacing from the shot. "Hey! Over here, dumb metal doll!" Letting loose yet another scorching wind, the Genesect that had struck Marie had been reduced to scrap metal from the force of the attack. "You should try and keep moving; otherwise we're going to be buried in these things." Nodding slowly at Moltres's comment Marie said, "r-right. Yeah." Beginning to move forward the girl stopped again before looking at the legend. "Um...well, I just wanted to say...thanks. Not for right now - well also right now. But, just in general. Meeting you was like...well, it helped me a lot in my journey and uh..." Blushing as the girl was twiddling her fingers she then shouted, "next time we meet I'll be super strong for sure! And I'll be able to show you that for sure! So uh, yeah!" Moltres blushed and her eyes darted away. "W-well, of course it did. I'm a Legend! And you better remember that!" She smiled at the girl. "Make sure you survive to get that strong, alright? Don't do anything stupid. Or else I'll have to punish you!" Nodding with a big smile on her face, she said, "of course!" With a wave the girl shouted, "see you later!" and then made her way further into the fray. After a bit more running, the girl eventually managed to reach a small gathering of others. This likely being the destination they needed to get to, Marie prepared herself mentally for the fights to come. Her thoughts were interrupted, however, as another girl mentioned her arms. Confused, but feeling happy for the girl's excitement, Marie looked to her and gave a thumbs up, "yeah...arms."

Amir Qureshi

Team Showdown Her goal was just in sight, as she slid across the sand on her waterboard. As she zipped through the army of Gijinka, she made sure to trip up as many of the bug bots as she could manage, as they fell over like clanging dominoes, one after the other. With random parts of this robo army discombobulated, they'd be easier for the other legends and fighters to take out. She could see the other side of the army in front of her, as she smiled. She sped up her boarding in an attempt to break the back line, but was met with a metallic clothesline to the gut. In all of her excitement to get to the real fight, she hadn't realized that she had garnered more attention than she perhaps wanted. The water beneath her feet stopped and shot out in front of her, as she fell flat on her back. "Get your breath back..." She thought to herself as her teeth grit. One of the Gijinka made a move, stepping on her wrist, while another mirrored it stepping on the other. She could hear the shifting of the army, as multiple of these lifeless dolls shambled towards her, piling one on top of the other. It must've been ten or more of them until they finally realized it would've been overkill. She struggled, chomping at any piece of metal that was close to her face, but their combined weight pinning her down was really making it hard for the girl to even think, let alone move. Taiga's eyes widened in terror, as each and everyone of the Gijinka on top of her began to glow and smoke. She could feel an energy well up inside of her...but if she used it now...would she have the strength to fight on? Or would she just be a hindrance to Scarlet and Isole? "Geez...if I'm really this pathetic...fufu..." She laughed solemnly, as visions of her friends winning the day raced through her mind. "They don't need me anyway..." A high pitched whirring sound started to emanate from the golems surrounding her. Just as she was about to give up, she felt the ground beneath her rumble and tear apart. In an instant, there was nothing beneath her anymore. She was free falling through a giant hole, the Gijinaks grip on her loosening as they fell away with her. Suddenly, she felt a firm grip grab her wrist once more. She looked below her, watching as the ball of metal exploded. Her head turned up to the sky, seeing Landorus was the one who had just saved her life. "I figured you'd be eager to fight but you need to be alive to do that you know. I still want to see what Gijinka these days are capable of." Taiga looked away from the legend to wipe something from her eye, only to look back with a sharp smile. "Just you watch old timer! I'll make sure these Godslayers know what real Terror is!" "Ha! I'm sure you will." He looked across the field. "But we still need to break through for you to get that chance. So, need me to lead the way or are you and your people ready to set out ahead of us old folk?" "Just throw me, would ya? You got enough strength for that?" The Legend floated in silence for a moment, before bursting into laughter. "You kids come up with the craziest ideas. Yeah, I think I can manage that. Hope I don't overshoot ya." His muscles began to bulge and an aura surrounded his arms as he spun Taiga in a circle before releasing her. "Don't know how you plan on landing but hope it's softer than it looks!" "Thanks, ya old coot! Don't you go kickin' the bucket on me before we get a chance to arm wrestle!" Taiga waved to the man as she flew through the air. Timing her landing as well as possible, she stuck out her foot. A massive jet of water erupted from the bottom of her feet in a giant pillar. She dove into the erected torrent, landing her butt softly on the ground. The water around her flushed away, and before her was a raised, metallic platform. On that platform was a myriad of Gijinka she had never seen before. A lot of them looked incredibly young. She sneered as she walked up to the middle. Looking around, there were no signs of either Scarlet or Isole. She got a little nervous, but she made sure not to give off that vibe. "Well...you lot sure are lucky you made it this far. I don't know any of your names, but you gotta be worth somethin' as fighter, right? Fufufu." Taiga blew the weird lookin' Raichu a kiss. "Just watch your backs and make sure not to get us all killed, 'kay?"
