AN: Hi
The woman kept laughing, unnerving Eclipse…
"Who are you?" He asked, recognising her face from somewhere…
"Hmm… Oh! You're one of his aren't you! Who'd have thought that such a freak could have a child this beautiful…" She said, ignoring the poor boy and looking Tina in a way that made her want to hide. "Looks like he was right, increasing genes does make children more impressive!" She noted, cackling again.
"I know who you are…" Harry muttered, getting the woman's focus.
"Oooh! Both of them in one place! This is amazing! I've never dissected family of freaks before!" She exclaimed, unnerving everyone…
The gladiator sighed as he snapped his fingers, getting her attention. "You're here to fight, not molest them." He reminded her, as she sighed, before perking back up.
"Can I do that once I fight them?" She asked, eyes widening excited.
"… I guess." He agreed, very nervous now.
"Let's get ta fightin' already!" Gem growled, stepping forwards towards Eclipse.
"Alright then…" Eclipse grinned, taking a fighting stance, before the two rushed at each other, matching move for move, blocking and hitting at exactly the same time.
Tina stared down the madwoman, reaching for her Morpher.
"Tina, that's..." Harry tried to warn, gulping and trying, but failing in panic.
"Zip it cutie! Can't have you ruining the surprise!" The woman said, grinning horridly before she and Tina both slapped down on their wrists, doing different motions.
"Stars align, sting of Scorpio." She called out, gaining her bronze suit, and preparing to fight…
"Chameleo Morpher, ready!" The woman called out, pressing a button on the thing on her wrist, getting enveloped in a purple light, which faded to reveal a suit, similar to the others, but without the Zodiac symbol, and the helmet looked like a mouth of some kind… "With the stealth of the Chameleon, Purple ranger!" She announced, rushing at Tina as Tina summoned a spear, which she used to vault over the madwoman.
"This be a lil' dull" Gem complained as he and Eclipse exchanged blows.
"Yeah, kind of a mood killer." Eclipse agreed, flipping back and landing next to Tina. "Swap?" He offered, being forced to hold himself back…
"Sure." Tina agreed, as she went to go face Gem, who gave a wicked smirk.
"Now this be more like it!" He cheered, as they began to fight, this time, actually doing damage to each other.
Eclipse flipped over the madwoman. "So Harry, who is she again?" Eclipse asked as he dodged another attack.
"SHE'S YOUR FAMILY!" Harry shouted, distracting Tina and causing Gem's hook to rip through her arm, unnoticed by everyone…
"And that's one fighter out!" The gladiator announced, freezing everyone in place as Tina started to glow a shining white… Before she shattered into shards of Light, a scream of agony bursting from her as the shards faded…
"Scorps!" Eclipse shouted as the light vanished.
"Welp, who's going to take her place?" The gladiator announced, looking everyone over…
Everyone exchanged fearful looks, until Twilight and Kage both stepped forwards.
"Eclipse, you're tagging out." Twilight announced, with Eclipse nodded and getting out of there.
"Stars combine, kin of Gemini!" They called as Twilight morphed, Eclipse's suit vanishing soon afterwards.
"Twas a pleasure ta fight ye lad." Gem called to Eclipse who looked at his hands in horror. "Sorry about ye lovely lass as well." He added, getting a tiny response.
Eclipse stared at his hands, closing his eyes while the others stood alongside him, giving silent support.
"Ah well! Wanted to dissect her!" The woman complained. "I guess I should introduce myself, huh?" She noted, sounding even more insane. "My name is Kendall… AND I'M THE REASON YOU'RE ALL ALIVE!" She shouted, laughing madly before Twilight stabbed her in the gut with Tina's spear, which had lay on the ground until that point. "Hrk! Y-You… You… YOU LITTLE NOBODY! YOU INJURED ME! HOW COULD YOU, A NOBDOY, HURT ME, A GOD?!" She screeched, grabbing his throat and throwing him around angrily.
"That was for Tina." He said, using the spear to push her away.
Kage turned to Gem, activating her Morpher. "Stars align, Aim of Sagittarius." She called out, gaining her own suit, before giant bird wings sprouted from her back, tearing through the suit as she soared into the air with her crossbow. "TRY AND GET ME NOW!" She shouted, aiming at the pirate with her weapon and firing at him.
"Yargh! Stop that! I can't reach ye!" Gem complained, before pausing. "Yargh? Did I really just say that?" He questioned, sounding genuinely confused.
"YOU ARE A NOBODY! YOU DON'T DESERVE THE PRIVILEGE!" Kendall screeched in rage, before a crossbow bolt found itself in her throat. She stared at the metal bolt in confusion, before she started to glow like Tina had done… Before she shattered into shards of light, gurgling in agony as they faded…
"Round three!" The gladiator called, as Kage and Twilight found themselves with the others again…
DeeDee and Harry found themselves inside of the square, facing their opponents…
Gem stepped to the side, revealing a new fighter, with smoke curling around her fingers, hair curling into ram horns as she grinned at the two.
"Name's Ries, I'm gonna be holding back so I don't kill you all in one hit." She said, stretching her arms and back as she did so.
"Ries? Gem? Hmm…" Harry frowned, an idea forming inside her head.
As if that were a trigger, Ries rushed at Harry, the two vanishing from sight as they shot around the arena, running incredibly fast, colliding and bouncing off of each other every few seconds.
DeeDee stared down Gem nervously, eyeing the hook he had. "Uh… Any chance you'll swap the hook for a sword?" She asked hopefully.
"Aye, ye be right. Sword'll be better for this here fight" Gem agreed, his hook morphing into a cutlass, which he held with a grin.
"That's better…" She sighed in relief, before they ran at each other, never actually making it…
Before they could stop, Harry and Ries appeared in front of Gem's blade, the sharp metal going straight through Ries' exposed flesh and going into Harry, who was on the other side of Ries… The two started to glow in sync as they screamed, shattering and fading…
"Harry!" DeeDee cried out in horror, stopping and staring at where the girl had been just a moment ago…
DeeDee was ejected from the square at that moment, being replaced by Felicity and Dani, who quickly got ready to morph, as Harry hadn't…
"S-Sis?" A voice said as the next fighter appeared, missing an eye, bleeding heavily, black hair matted with crimson stains.
"… Mark?" Dani whispered in horror, staring at the opponent.
"Dani… What's going on?" He asked confused, looking around.
"This be an arena battle, ye've been picked as me partner an' their opponent." Gem explained, patting him on the shoulder regretfully.
"I have to fight her…?" He asked, upset by that.
"Aye, if ye want, I'll fight her, and ye can fight 'er partner" Gem offered, sounding genuinely regretful that he had been brought back from the afterlife just to fight his sister.
"… No… I… I can't do this…" He whispered, almost in tears.
"Oh for… That's it!" The gladiator shouted angrily, snapping his fingers as Mark was wrapped in a golden light, before stepping forwards.
"D-Dani… I can't stop my body…" He told her in fear.
"THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST FOUGHT HER YOU IDIOT!" The gladiator roared, as Mark's body shot towards his sister, holding a blue sword in his hands.
Dani flinched, and closed her eyes, unable to get out of the way…
"Ngh!"
…
…
Dani opened her eyes to find Felicity in front of her, the sword buried in her gut, while she held Tina's spear, which had cracked in half while burying itself into Mark's gut, cracking through his skin, which had been almost impossible to break through…
"T-Thank… You…" Mark muttered, smiling at Felicity.
"I-It's… Nothing…" She replied, smiling at him as the two shattered without a sound…
"M-Mark…" Dani whimpered, falling to her knees in shock… She didn't even notice as she was teleported out of the arena, with Alfie taking her place…
After a few moments, a wall broke down, revealing Kira, who was teleported next to Alfie.
"So! Who's next?!" Dani/Ellie asked, trying to push through the horror, feeling sorry for the girl.
"You are…" The gladiator hissed, as Alfie suddenly slumped a little, getting disoriented…
"Whoa! I... I don't feel so good…" A girl said as she appeared, falling flat on her ass. She had pink hair with blue eyes, with a small bust, around the size of Kira's.
"D-Dani?" Alfie stuttered in shock.
"Yeah? Wait… Why are you…" The girl asked confused, looking at her hands in confusion. She had pink hair and blue eyes, with a small bust, around the size of Kira's.
"D-Dani?" Alfie stuttered in shock.
"Yeah? Wait… Why are you…" The girl asked confused, looking at her hands in confusion.
"This be goin' too far." Gem said to the gladiator, who shrugged.
"Time to fight!" He announced, as the girl's eyes rolled into the back of her head, before returning, with her right eye a crimson red.
"Watch out!" She warned, voice returning to that of when she was inside Alfie, as her body shot forwards, getting knocked away by Kira.
"What's with you Ellie?!" Kira asked, holding her sword in worry.
"It's not me! Alfie, six O'clock!" Ellie called out, causing the boy to twist round and dodge the attack from Gem, who had thrown a single punch.
Kira frowned, trying to get a focus on Ellie so that she could stop her, hopefully without killing her…
"T-This is bad…" Alfie said, morphing quickly as Kira tried to get a focus.
"WATCH OUT!" Ellie shouted, as she shot straight towards Kira.
Kira flinched, activating her sword out of reflex, just as Alfie got in front of her, planning to push Ellie out the way, causing him to be skewered, while Ellie slammed into him, being stabbed in the gut.
"I'm sorry!" She shouted, horrified by what she had done.
"I-It's… It's ok…" Alfie told her, unable to breathe.
"Yeah… T-Thanks…" Ellie agreed, before the two shattered.
"No!" She cried, as she was flung from the Arena, Gem starting to look uncomfortable…
Dani pulled Kira into a hug, as the two started crying, devastated by what had happened.
Kage and Twilight walked into the square before anything else could happen, morphing quickly and getting ready to fight.
Gem sighed as he prepared, waiting for his partner.
"Nnngh… Hey Gemi!" A girl said as she walked over, stretching out a pair of large reptilian wings, which Kage scowled at.
"Don't be callin' me Gemi. It's Gem." Gem told her. "Or should I start callin' ye Aqua?" He mocked, making her scowl at him.
"It's Quari!" She snapped, glaring at him. "And you'd do well to remember it you no good scoundrel!" She warned him, holding a large axe to his throat.
"Fine." He agreed, rolling his eye annoyed.
Kage scowled as she morphed, Eclipse morphing with Twilight before his morph deactivated…
"Let's get this over with." Twilight muttered, feeling terrible.
"Aye… I don't know if I can keep doin' this…" Gem agreed, looking down quietly.
Kage stepped forwards, glaring at Quari. "You're mine." She growled, extending her wings as the two took to the sky, getting ready to fight.
"Heh, you think you can take me on? You can't even spit it out!" Quari mocked, dodging a crossbow bolt as the two flew around fighting.
Twilight stared at Gem, before rushing the pirate, punching him in the face and knocking him back.
Gem grinned at Twilight as he charged him with his Cutlass, slashing and thrusting, with Twilight knocking the blade away and dodging with only his fists.
Kage growled as Quari dodged her shots, firing more and more, faster and faster, until there was just a blur of metal bolts shooting from her crossbow.
"Whoa! Jeez, watch it!" Quari shouted, dodging them all, a wingbeat causing some of them to shoot downwards… Going through the heads of Twilight and Gem, cracking through Twilight's helmet and being embedded there…
The two looked up in confusion as they started to glow, unaware of what had happened… Until they shattered.
"Gem! GEM! Damnit Gem!" The gladiator shouted angrily, slamming his fist into a wall, causing it to crumble, sending Kage flying into a wall with a snap of his fingers, and pulling Alice and Sophie into the field. "Let's see… How about… Lee." The gladiator decided, as a girl appeared from smoke, her hands burning in crimson fires.
"Hi! I'm Lee!" She greeted cheerily. "You can call me Lee though!" She told everyone, as Alice and Sophie exchanged confused looks.
"But… You just said your name was lee." Sophie pointed out.
"Yep! You can call me Lee if you want though." She agreed, her hands moving as she spoke.
"…" Sophie sighed, before she and Alice morphed, not even bothering with the call.
Lee charged at Sophie, hands pressing into her face, overheating her systems quickly, making her bug out and spark, as well as causing her morph to fail.
Alice rushed Quari, blasting through a wing with her blaster and confining her to the ground, while Quari attacked with her axe, swinging it easily.
"Stay still so I can kill you!" Quari shouted angrily, swinging at Alice multiple times.
Sophie had her mouth open in a silent scream of agony, trying to get Lee off of her, face melting and covering her eyes, circuits starting to fuse together…
Alice turned to Sophie, deciding she needed to end it quickly, pressing a switch on her blaster which turned it into a whip, using it on Quari, pulling her towards her, the axe flying up into the air. As she approached Alice quickly switched modes, preparing to fire… Until…
Shink!
The axe fell down on top of them, slicing through them, as the two vanished instantly.
Sophie was shot out of the Square, landing next to DeeDee, who looked at her in horror, trying to help.
"This is getting boring… Let's see… Who's next…" The gladiator muttered, before turning his attention to the ground behind the team. "Ah… Those two will do." He decided, as a glowing door appeared in the air, spitting out Baku and Caleb, who slammed into the ground with thuds, already morphed.
"What… What's going on?" Baku asked, as he stood up, looking around. "And where is everyone?" He added, noticing that many of the group were missing.
"T-They're… They're dead…" Kira whispered, looking at her Morpher like it had betrayed her.
"Dead? How?!" Caleb asked, taking a step back in horror.
"They lost their fights and were eliminated." The gladiator said, snapping his fingers and summoning Lee's partner.
"Hey, I'm Lee! But you can call me Lee though!" Lee said, introducing herself as the smoke began to clear.
"Who the hell are you?" A girl asked confused. She had long red hair, which went down her back, and red eyes… She was tall, with an impressive bust… She looked a lot like a mature version of Harry, though she was wearing what seemed to be a Japanese school uniform, instead of wizarding robes.
"H-Harry…?" DeeDee asked hopefully.
"You know my sister but confused me for her? Really?" The girl asked amused. "Sorry, but I'm not her. Where is she anyway?" The girl asked, looking around for the petite girl.
"She… She's dead…" DeeDee whispered, prying Sophie's face off and working on the circuitry.
"… What?" The girl asked quietly, horrified.
"She… She got stabbed in the gut… And… And she died…" DeeDee told her.
"WHO DID IT?! WHO HURT MY LITTLE SISTER?!" The girl roared, enraged.
"The guy who did it's gone now… He got killed… A-Along with my twin…" Eclipse said quietly, looking at his hands in sadness.
"Who got him?" She asked, noticing Kage sitting next to Eclipse, looking horrified. "Right… Then why am I here?" She asked.
"You're here to fight them! If you don't I'll just make you fight!" The gladiator announced.
The girl scowled. "Fine… My name's Mina, by the way." She introduced herself, glaring at the gladiator. "Let's get this over with." She muttered, grabbing something in her pocket.
"So… You're Harry's sister…" Baku muttered, looking her over, while Caleb glared a little.
"Yep… Can't believe she's dead…" Mina muttered, giving a sigh.
"Did you know she thought you were one of the three hottest people she knew?" He asked, trying to delay the inevitable.
"Huh, really?" Mina asked, smiling a little. "That's cute…" She muttered, before swallowing. "Let's get this over with then." She told the two, glaring at Lee as she pulled something out of her pocket, holding it up in the air. "Virgo Light!" She called out, being enveloped in a violet light before it faded, revealing she was now wearing a violet ball gown, holding a rapier in her hands.
Kira froze as she heard what Mina had said, breaking down into tears.
Mina pointed her rapier at Baku, giving a sigh of regret before she ran at him, Baku summoning to metal Sickles that looked somewhat like Crab claws.
"I'm really sorry about this, I really am." She apologised as she battled Baku, the two exchanging blows before moving back and repeating the cycle again.
"It's fine." He told her, slicing her arm slightly with his sickle.
"Fuck! You're going all out aren't you?" She asked, wincing.
"Nope." He told her. "All out would mean overloading." He explained quickly as Caleb tried to melt Lee's face, who tried to do the same to him.
"Ah, alright then." She accepted, thrusting her rapier forwards, hard.
Baku winced as the rapier dug into him, going through the other side, as his sickle tore through Mina's gown, digging into her flesh.
"… Ow… That… Ow." She muttered, as she started to glow. "What's going on?" She asked, as Baku did the same.
"I think… We're dying…" He muttered, as Caleb turned around trying to get to Baku, before they shattered, Caleb just barely missing him…
"Let's see… Who's next?" The gladiator wondered, looking everyone over curiously…
"I am!" A voice rang out, as everyone turned to the new arrival…
DeeDee gasped in shock as she saw the speaker…
