Takinom soared over the volcanic grounds of the underworld colosseum, making sure to keep an eye out for her opponent. She didn't know what Lynn might be planning but she knew she'd have to be ready.
Meanwhile, back in the Port Court, the Loud girls watched with unbridled joy as over a dozen server bots delivered them platters of food ranging from pizza to hot dogs to cotton candy. Once the last plate had been set down the girls dived in and devoured a little from each plate.
"Really glad Lynn's not here now." Luan managed to say through a mouthful of ice cream. "Or she would've socked one of us trying to get to the food."
Luna snorted as she picked up a chicken drumstick. "Yeah, or Lor would've made us all wait till she got some first since she's the oldest."
As she laughed at her siblings quirks, the Luna was shocked when she heard a familiar voice call out. "Luna?"
Turning around she saw Haiku, Polly, Giggles, and Tabby waving at them. They hurried over to their table.
"I didn't know you lasses played Chaotic." Tabby said.
"We just got here today." Luna explained. She gestured up to the screens with her drumstick. "Luce just lost her first match but Lynn and Lori are still going at it."
"First matches are always a crushing disappointment. Either for a newbie losing to a more experienced player or a seasoned veteran losing to a rookie." Said Haiku.
"Are you kidding? I can't wait to see how Lynn crushes it in her match." Polly said, staring at the screen with enthusiasm.
Tabby looked past Luna's shoulders to see the stats of the match. "Well it doesn't look like she's off to a good start."
"What do you mean?" Luna grunted out from a mouthful of food.
Tabby froze in shock for a moment, seeing her friend eating like a wildebeest before slightly regaining her composure and saying. "W-well, Lyssta's special ability pumps up her power and air attacks if she wins the location initiative. But, the initiative for the underworld colosseum is speed and Takinoms Faster."
"Don't count Lynn out. She'll definitely pull out a win." Polly assured them.
Meanwhile, Takinom was still flying, searching for Lyssta.
"I don't get it. Where is she? I sort of figured Lynn to be the jump straight in type!" Ronnie Anne thought.
But then, she heard the sound of a loud engine coming from below. She looked down and spotted her opponent.
And she'd come prepared.
Lyssta was riding in what could only be described as a massive bladed wheel spinning at an extremely high speed. She gripped its handlebars tightly, her face showing obvious delight.
Surprised, Takinom flew downward until she was soaring right next to the vehicle.
"A Mowercycle?!" She shouted over the roar of the wheel. "How did you-?"
"I knew that Lyssta's ability would only work in a location where she had the initiative. So I made sure to stack my location deck with nothing but speed initiative locations and give her piece of gear that would let her haul creature behind!" She explained, still clearly ecstatic. Her smile grew into a wicked grin. "And since I won the initiative, I can do THIS! Cyclone Slam!" Lyssta pointed her hand at Takinom and blasted her with a quickly spinning funnel of wind. The funnel overtook the underworlder and began spinning her around the location, at certain times points smacking her into the walls of the arena. Lyssta had stopped her mowercyle and simply watched jovially from her seat as Takinom was swirled around, laughing meanly whenever she hit a wall.
While stuck in the vortex, Takinom struggled to get out. She tried flying out of the top, but the suction generated by the cyclone was too strong and she was quickly pulled back into the center.
In her head, Ronnie Anne thought. "I have to get out of here! I'm losing too much energy! If I don't do something soon, I'll end up losing to a NEWBIE!"
That thought empowering her, Takinom focused on the mugic she had placed on the board.
"SONG OF FURY!"
The mugic notes rang over the battlefield and the beam of light struck Takinom, empowering her whole body with mugical energy. Her eyes glowed purple and her hands became engulfed in fire. She released a massive burst of flame completely destroying the storm.
On the ground Lyssta smirked. She was worried for a moment that it would be too easy. She revved her mowercycle handles and shot straight towards Takinom.
Takinom flew straight towards Lyssta, hurling orbs of fire in her path, but she easily maneuvered around them. In response, Lyssta realesed a stream of power pulses a takinom but she too managed to avoid the attack.
And the battle raged on. Takinom hurling balls, streams, and waves of fire and Lyssta releasing every last attack she could manage from blasts of lightning to powerful eye beams while zipping around on the ground in her mowercycle. Their attacks were overwhelmingly powerful, Lyssta's due to her ability, Takinom's to the mugic. Each of them managed to land solid blows on each other but neither managed to land a strong enough blow to end the battle.
After nearly 15 minutes of combat, the location had become worn down. The colosseum was covered in small fires and scorch marks stained every wall. An entire row of seats had been completely torn away by a misplaced tornado tackle.
The combatants didn't look much better either. Takinom was completely covered in soot and was barely able to stay in the air. Lysta's mowercycle was as charred, beaten, and covered in scratches as she was, but both were still raring to go.
The glow in Takinom's eyes began to flicker.
Lyssta chuckled. "Looks like your mugic is wearing off. Too bad, cause I'm still just as pumped as when I started!"
Takinom scoffed. "Bring it on Loud. I don't need mugic to beat you!" She dug deep for the last bits of power the mugic granted her and then blasted out an enormous wave of fire.
"Torrent of flame!"
In response, Lyssta use both hands and shot off a huge funnel of wind.
"Tornado Tackle!"
The two attacks collided, the wind blast causing the flood of flames to expand outward and engulf the entire location in it's blaze!
"THE MATCH HAS ENDED IN A DRAW!"
"WHAT!" Both girls cried out.
Here it is! I finally finished chapter 3. I hope it came out okay, I kinda worry action scenes aren't as dynamic as they could be but hopefully they're gettting better.
For Lynn's mowercycle move, I felt it was really in character for her. Some might think she's dumb muscle, but if she's determined enough she'll definitely plan ahead to win.
