She couldn't believe the nerve on that guy. He practically ignored her entirely and ran off to abandon their job so quickly. It wasn't like she was going to bite him...Just yell at him a bit more at worse. Maybe he took her threat too seriously. Whatever, maybe she could get some more of this garbage cleared out now that he blasted a chunk of it. "Don't scream or I'll break your neck, and that will ruin both of our days." Her first instinct when she was grabbed was "Oh what now." When the woman delivered her threat Rei considered trying to do something. After all she didn't need to make obvious movements to use her invisiarms. If she could grab hold of the woman's arms herself and squeeze... Wait what the heck was she thinking? That sounded way too risky. For all she knew this was another boneheaded test and she was supposed to show how she could get out of the situation. But in a normal situation she wouldn't want to do something and take a risk that could leave her dead. Can't help anyone from the grave anyway. If it was a test and she failed again so be it. But she wasn't about to fight back against someone in this position. Still, she couldn't help but be annoyed. With a sigh she said, "Unless you want to steal some garbage I don't know what you think you're doing here." A humorless laugh escaped her lips, as she walked her fingers up and down Rei's neck. "Well that's simple, Rei. It's okay if I call you Rei, right? I just came for a little meet and greet. Wanna be friends? I know I do." "Oh, great, you're a creep." Rei said and rolled her eyes. "I'm rolling my eyes by the way. Thought you should know. Cause despite saying you want to 'meet and greet' can't really see my face can you?" In the blink of an eye, almost too quickly to believe, the girl was standing in front of Rei, her grip now on Rei's chin which she used to tilt her head back and forth, inspecting her like a cat would a mouse. "A friend of a friend told me all about you, but couldn't figure out what your quirk was. Did you get it from your dad? My dad gave me mine, maybe we can be sisters like that!" Rei was still unsure whether to be concerned or not at this woman's erratic nature. At the moment it seemed to be keeping her from doing anything too dangerous but who knew when that would change. "This Quirk is all mine. Thank god. I don't need to be compared to anyone on top of everything else." She examined the woman as Rei herself was examined. "Maybe your friend shouldn't be watching schoolgirls. Not a great hobby you know." Without the woman behind her Rei felt more comfortable extending her invisiarms. She hadn't decided to use them yet but she felt much more comfortable having more options. An unnaturally large smile crept onto her face. "Don't worry, they're closer to your age than I am. And there's nothing wrong with me watching you, right Rei-Rei? I'm Towa, by the way." Suddenly, her hand grasped around Rei's throat, compressing her windpipe with unnatural force. "Could I see your quirk, Rei-Rei? I'd show you mine but I don't really know how to use it yet~" Rei's eyes widened. This crazy chick was serious wasn't she? She didn't think even the school would hire someone willing to strangle one of the students. Still, she knew she had to be calm. She might only have one good shot before she was in serious trouble. "You.....can't...see.....it....coming." Rei managed before balling one of her invisiarms into a fist to slam into the side of Towa's head. She stretched the other and, hoping the woman loosened her grip, went to grab onto Towa's waist from behind and pull her off of Rei.

The last few minutes were a wild blur to the two brothers. Not only had this giant group taken on the Godslayer that had destroyed Juyu, but they were taking on a man that had stolen a fragment of Arceus's power. The absolute craziest thing was that they were winning. It almost felt like a dream, but their exhausted bodies told them otherwise. "I served! Anyone else wanna shot?" Randy laughed, causing the two to spring into action, Denku rushing ahead as Kazo dove into the ground, both prepping the final attacks. To Strike Down a False God Denku stopped underneath Kura, his fist pulsing with dark energy once more as he wound up, his knuckles scrapping against the ground as he threw a massive uppercut into Kura's spine, a blast of dark energy launching the villain higher into the air. As Kura fell back to the earth, Kazo burst out of the ground, smashing his head against the Houndoom once more, the two flying into the air. "Alright Kazo, FINISH IT!!" Denku yelled as he held out a hand. Kazo gracefully flipped through the air, landing on Denku's outstretched hand. The rock type gritted his teeth as he spun around, charging the air in his elbow before he threw Kazo up, using the biggest blast of air he could muster to launch Kazo as hard as he could. The dragon flew through the air like a missile, rushing past Kura's side, the force of the flying dragon causing the Houndoom to spin through the air. When the spinning stopped, Kura found himself staring up at Kazo, who had his hands over his head, bright purple energy swirling above the two. "Your new world isn't needed," Kazo stated. "Instead of being a coward and running away from the problems of this world, you should have used your power to help save those around you. If you can't do something so simple, you can't do something as great as creating a new world! That's why people like us, people that chase the light of a better tomorrow, will never lose to the likes of you!" With that, Kazo let out one final roar. "DRACO METEOR!" the tall dragon threw his hands down towards Kura, who could only watch as giant purple meteors of power rained from the sky, crashing into his body and forcing him down, the Houndoom crashing into the floor as the meteors exploded. Kazo landed on the ground, panting and feeling like his body would tip over. But after all this time, they had done it... they had won... right?

Look! A Distraction! In his bright and fervent display of trash removal, Hideyo discovered an interesting and fun piece of garbage: a disco ball. Suddenly, images of a dance hall filled with spinning lights, platform shoes, and wild hairstyles flooded his mind. Though it was mostly destroyed, this was one piece of trash Hideyo would like to do more with. He gently placed it aside and dug a trench around it. Hideyo was getting distracted. His trench slowly evolved into a full blown moat, and Hideyo was now constructing an elaborate sand castle. He was very distracted. The sand castle had been complete with a full battalion of troops, a bridge, and a giant sign that read, 'King of Disco'. There was no turning back now. Hideyo turned his attention to the next bit of detail that would help protect his disco ball: sand cannons. He built them into the walls of the castles in order to fend off invaders. But wait... that would mean he needed invaders. And so, Hideyo began to construct a second castle, providing competition for 'King of Disco'. He would dub this castle, with a giant sign that read, 'Not King of Disco'. Troops were built for the opposing castle, wielding halberds and swords and shields. Archers lined the walls and threatened to rain down death below. And now, Hideyo had begun constructing messengers to deliver declarations of war between the two sand castles and their sand armies as they fought over the ever present disco ball.

reply and ill tell you smash or pass

(full resolution) Not my best, but just thought I'd share. A discord chat was doing a fantasy-based contest and this was my entry. Figured I'd pay homage to my favorite scene from Lord of the Rings. Feedback is appreciated!

Team Paragon  "Maybe after another lifetime you could have beaten me." Randy was already moving towards the trio, just as Ryu was planning to fire off a Fire Blast. Grrrrr...this is going to hurt like hell… he thought, quickly using Acrobatics to move a bit faster, before finally getting in position where he was between Denku and Kazo and a menacing Ryu. He grabbed the Gabite and Pupitar with his back facing the Salamence and it collided with the Fire Blast, which propelled him forward. “...n-ngh...damn...that...” Randy groaned, rolling over and letting go of Denku and Kazo. “...even as a Fire Type...t-that still hurts at point blank...” "A-are you okay?" Kazo asked, looking up to the Incineroar. “H-Heh...nothing I haven’t...dealt with before...” Randy sat up slowly, giving a thumbs up. “...dealt with a Tyranitar and a Lucario Godslayer...hell, even dealt with a serial psycho Zoroark...fought against Yveltal and Heatran...h-heh...this isn’t anything.” "That's quite a track record," Denku said as he cracked his neck. "Makes me thankful to have ya. Although, I'm no slouch when it comes to battling Legends and Godslayers," Kazo stayed quiet, thinking about what he had accomplished with Ari and Mac. "Yeah, I've fought my own fair share too. This guy will fall like the rest of them," Kazo added. Randy slowly got up, seeing the Salamence starting to make his way towards them. “Well...if you guys got a bit more in ya...I got something else to try. Heh, somehow I think it’s going to be a surefire method...seeing as most of you gijinka don’t seem to have any clue about the power we have on Alola...” he stood up, flashing the Z-Crystal around his neck. “Gonna need to do it at the right time though. Think you guys got more in the tank for a bit more?” "I think I got like… one more good attack in me…," Kazo admitted as he looked to his hurt arm. "I'll keep pushing until he falls," Denku simply stated. Randy gave them both a thumbs up. “Good… Denku, you and me...gonna try that little combo one more time.” he said, rolling his shoulder some. “This time...I got a damn good feeling that it’ll do something.” "Alright… let's do this then!" Denku called out as he cracked his knuckles. “...die...die...die...die...” Ryu muttered. The Salamence seemed incredibly out of it at this point, just being completely incoherent at this moment. But it was obvious that he had one thing in mind: “...pieces of trash...I’ll rip each one of you to shreds...” BGM Alright...just a bit closer… Randy thought, watching the Salamence getting closer and closer towards them. He watched the Godslayer finally get within the right distance...and he activated his Z-Crystal. “It’s time!” he shouted, as now underneath Ryu’s feet a bit of a risen floor appeared...and this time, it seemed to take the form of a lot more of a wrestling ring. It might’ve been the locale this time that influenced the outcome, but Randy didn’t know the answer. “Alright Denku...it’s go time!” “W-What...WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!” Ryu shouted, unsure of what was taking place. “...a..wrestling ring?!” The Incineroar psyched himself up a bit, before running into the energy ring and roared before holding up his right hand. “You’re damn right it is, bruddah! Welcome to MY domain!! This hand of mine is pulsing dark!!!” Denku and Kazo were a bit shocked. The man had just made a wrestling ring out of thin air! “That… is so cool!” Kazo geeked out, sparkles in his eyes. Denku chuckled and ran after Randy. It seemed the energy of the ring was infecting both brothers, who despite their exhaustion and injuries, were grinning like madmen. “Its dark grip is telling us to defeat you!” Denku added loudly, holding up his right hand as he leapt over the ropes, hand glowing with dark energy. Randy smirked, his right hand soon became engulfed with dark energy, nodding over at Denku. “And...at this very moment, I finally have a name for this combo.” he said, before rushing towards Ryu. “Then let it roar out from your very soul!” Denku called out as he rushed towards the Salamence as well. “HERE WE GO!!!” Randy roared out, closing the gap between him and Ryu, not giving the Godslayer any room to breathe...let alone fly and escape. “DOUBLE DARKNESS PARAGON...STRIKE!!!” he roared out, delivering a Darkest Lariat straight into the Salamence’s stomach. Denku meanwhile had ran behind the two, jumping on top of the ropes, and with one huge leap, dived at Ryu, calling out the combo attack as he smashed his fist into Ryu’s back. To the Incineroar, this whole moment here sounded awesome. The combination move with it’s new name...how Denku utilized the wrestling ring’s ropes the way he did...everything was perfect! It was like he was back on Alola… He gave off a devious smirk, his gold eyes flashing with determination and excitement at this point. “Heh...now lemme show you guys how we do things on Alola!” Randy smirked, before lifting the Salamence up and slung him towards the ropes, watching him bounce against them and now slinging him back towards his outstretched arm, which clotheslined the Godslayer, causing him to now get slammed on the ground. “Hey, c’mon! I know you’ve still got some fight left in you!!” Ryu no longer spoke, but he snarled with great anger as he started to get back up. However, this was the moment he saw Randy immediately giving Denku a high-five… tagging the Pupitar. Denku grinned as he cracked his knuckles, making a move towards Ryu. However, before he moved too closely, he heard a loud whistle. Looking behind him, Denku saw Kazo tossing a piece of the pillar’s rubble at him, which the older brother caught easily. “OHHHHHHH! The audience just brought in...OH MY ARCEUS IS THAT A CHAIR?!” Randy shouted, attempting to be an announcer, whilst leaning over on ropes. “THAT is going to hurt...someone may want to call the medical team for this!” Kazo zipped over, standing by Randy and leaning over the ropes with him. “Well, that all depends on how he uses---.” Kazo started, attempting to play along, but the Pupitar then rushed at Ryu, leaping into the air and smashing the rock over his head, causing the rock to break. “BAH ARCEUS, HE BROKE THE CHAIR IN HALF!” “Oh damn...I hope they got the deposit Poké on that chair, it was a rental!” Randy winced at seeing the rubble break in the manner they did. “Still, seems like the rookie over here has quite the potential! Oh wait...he’s getting on the top rope?!” Denku had indeed climbed over the ropes and took another leap off, aiming to land a Dark Pulse charged elbow drop on the villainous Dragon, but Ryu managed to recover from the ‘chair’ hit and grabbed Denku out of the air, tossing him towards the other two. The elder brother hit the ropes and hit the ground, groaning a bit at his botched attack. He reached up, expecting Randy to tag in, but instead, Kazo slapped his hand, leaping over the ropes and rushing in. Ryu saw Kazo approach, his pupils shrinking as he let out a growl. With a mighty roar, the purple cloud formed above him once more, raining Draco Meteors down into the small ring. There was no way that brat could dodge all of this! BGM Kazo took in a deep breath as he looked up, seeing the purple rocks come crashing down towards him. With no time to lose, he began to move. Strafing left and right, he avoided the places the meteors would land. The first few were easy to dodge, but as the attack continued, more and more rocks filled the area, making it harder to dodge, until he barely had half a second to dodge each attack. Finally though, as Kazo jumped into the air to avoid a meteor, one exploded next to him, sending him higher into the air. Ryu, seeing this moment of weakness, grinned and launched himself after Kazo, his wings glowing brightly as he went for a Wing Attack. Kazo gritted his teeth, but as he fell back to the ground, he positioned himself into a flying kick. The two collided, and by some miracle, Kazo’s kick prevailed, sending the two into the ground. “Heh...guess it’s time for this to end.” Randy smirked, exhaling as he felt the Z-Energy begin to swell within him and around him. “Denku! Kazo! Launch that sucker! I’m ending it!” he said, now standing on the top ropes. Kazo nodded, picking up Ryu and tossing him into the air, as Denku slid underneath the enemy and fired a blast of his air into the ground, launching him and causing him to crash into Ryu, sending Ryu higher into the air. “NOW we’re talking!!” Randy laughed, before launching himself into the air doing a flip or two, now being above the unsuspecting Salamence. “SIGNATURE MOVE!! MALICIOUS...MOONSAULT!!!” With that, he began to crash down towards Ryu, becoming engulfed in Z-Energy that took the form of dark energy. Finally he hit his target and both came crashing down towards the wrestling ring. “MIGHT WANT TO MOVE YOU TWO!!” The two quickly scrambled away, giving Randy a clear landing spot to bodyslam the poor soul into the mat. To the Godslayer’s credit, despite all of this, he was still conscious, and attempting to break out. “I… I won’t let you… I won’t let you all BEAT ME!!!” Ryu roared. “Tough luck pal!! Not many gijinka walk away from this!!” Randy laughed, the two finally slamming into the mat with quite the explosion. Once the dust and smoke settled, the wrestling ring began to fade, but nevertheless, Randy was currently pinning the Salamence to the ground. “That’s it...” Denku rushed over, sliding next to Randy as he got on his hands and knees. “ONE!” He called out, slapping his hand on the fading ring. Ryu roared, fighting against Randy, but the dumb cat had him in such a way he could barely move. “TWO!!” A sound boom resounded through the stadium as Denku’s hand met the mat once again. He raised his hand above his head, gritting his teeth as his hand rushed back down for the final time. “No, no, NO!” Ryu called out. “I WON’T LET IT END THIS---,” Before his sentence could be finish, Kazo ran over, landing an Iron Head on Ryu’s forehead just as Denku’s hand met the mat. “THREE!!!!” with one final slap on the mat, the Godslayer had finally passed out, and the fight had finally ended. Randy then got up, pointing up to the sky with a loud roar. "AND THAT'S IT!! Ladies and gentlemen, the victors are TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAM PARAGON!!!!!" he said, triumphantly, before falling over on his back with a huge, stupid smile. "J-Jeez...almost every fight in this region has topped my last...hands down...until the next one comes, THIS has been my best and favorite fight..."
