Cling! Cling! Clang!
A metallic sound echoed across the battlefield every time Logan's Fenrir Keyblade clashed against Sora's Ultima Weapon. Dewey was hanging to Ralph's back as he smacked his steel chair over and over again on his head. Adam and Destiny were exchanging laser blasts and water jets respectively. Rachel, Eight and Ahsoka were still caught in a triple threat fight. Liquorice used her lightsaber to cut through the plants summoned by Vicky. Finally, RDJ was using his jetpack to chase Toren across the air whilst shooting at him with his magic pistols.
"Would you stay still so that I can shoot you down?!" the bounty hunter annoyingly asked whilst trying to aim.
"Let me think... No!" Using his anger magic, the little Jaquin made RDJ's jetpack come to life, making it fly away in panic whilst dropping RDJ. He rolled down upon landing back on the ground.
"Great; now I can't fly over the zone anymore," he remarked before running away.
Adam flew with his hover boots as he shot beams of electricity to Destiny deviated with flows of water. Deciding to change tactics, he got closer to the ground and charged at her with a huge momentum. Destiny created a wall of ice in an attempt to protect herself, but the cyborg easily burst though it and landed a blow that knocked her many feet away. "No offense, but you're gonna need more than water and ice to defeat me, Destiny!"
"I beg to differ!" The whale shark began sending many jets of water that Adam blocked with his robotic shield. Unbeknownst to him, this was all part of a bigger plan: she eventually stopped and grabbed all the water that had fallen on Adam and the ground around him to wrap him in, turning it into ice to immobilize him.
"... Oh, no." Adam could only watch as Destiny span on herself and whipped him away with her huge tail.
Vicky summoned vines from the ground to attack Liquorice from every angle, but no matter what she did, not a single one could touch the wolfess without getting cut down immediately. Growing tired soon, Vicky found herself in lose combat with the Padawan, moving elegantly to avoid the swings of her lightsaber. She grabbed her parasol and smacked the teenager a few times before coating the surrounding zone in a thick mist of her perfume.
"My gosh! The smell!" Liquorice groaned, tears forming in her eyes due to her more developed canine smell. She crossed her arms over her chest and created a Force Explosion to push away the perfume, knocking Vicky away in the process. The countdown ended soon afterward.
('Ten' by WWE Music Group)
As the energetic song played, out of the entrance gate came a little bird. A Spix's macaw who shyly waved at everyone as he made his way into the fighting zone. Logan was the first to notice him and instantly recognized the little avian. "Hey, it's Blu!"
Sora also looked at him, mostly at the piece of dark blue armor on his right shoulder that extended to his wing, the necklace around his neck, and his fanny pack around his waist. "Hey, I recognize that; it's a Keyblade Armor! You're Ventus' new student, aren't you?"
"Yeah, that's me," Blu confirmed with rubbing the back of his head. "Ven convinced me to participate in this competition so that I would learn to fight things other than Heartless. I do intend to try and win the whole thing. For them." He pointed at the audience, where Jewel and the kids were cheering him on.
"Alright, then, show me what you can do!" Sora beamed and ran toward the blue avian.
Blu narrowed his eyes, summoned his Keyblade, Wing of Love, and exclaimed: "Shotlock: Absolute Zero!" Using his Focus on Sora, the avian moved at a tremendous speed as he delivered many ice-elemental charges into him, kinda like Sora did with his Sonic Blade attack on Logan earlier.
"Wow, you can already use the Focus Command?" Logan asked with an impressed look.
"Yeah; Ven told me it was one of the most useful tricks he knew not only for its strength power, but also because it allows me to evade most attacks. That's why I decided to unlock it on my Sphere Grind as soon as possible," Blu explained
"Cool." Logan then gave a serious expression. "Blu, before we fight, there's something I wanna tell you. Your movie is one of my most favorite animated films of all time - in a sense, it's thanks to it that I'm here, right now. I'm really sorry that Blue Sky Studio closed its doors, but know that I will never forget all the amazing products it made over the years."
"Thanks, Logan... It means a lot," Blu said with a sad smile. "I'm really sad that Blue Sky is gone, too, but my friends and I are happy to live here, in the Magical World." He then assumed his reverse grip stance. "Now, let's have a Keyblade fight!"
The two Keyblade Wielders started running all around, clashing their weapons against one another. Despite being the most experienced of the two, Logan struggled a bit to keep up with Blu due to his fighting style being based on speed and acrobatic movements, makin him a difficult target to touch. Blu used his Fire Dash ability to charge into the young man, igniting a fire explosion that burned him a little.
"You wanna fight with fire? In that case, I'll fight with water!" Logan declared. He took out his Magical Sketchbook and started drawing something. "Attraction Flow: Pirate Ship!" He summoned a giant pirate ship modeled after the Disney park attraction, this one being made of magic. He began rolling it on the spot, sending water splashing all around, forcing Blu to dash away whilst also splashing some of the other participants in the process. Destiny didn't even try to avoid the water and happily welcomed it on herself.
"Blu! Over here!" The Spix's macaw noticed his friend, Liquorice, waving at him. He flew to join her.
"Hey, Li! Have you been in the competition for a long time?"
"Kinda; there's been eleven participants after me, including you. I managed to get one elimination," the wolfess explained as she stretched herself. She then pointed a finger at Rachel. "You see that sword girl over there? She's been causing quite a lot of trouble since the start of the competition. Wanna team up and take her out?"
"Fine by me!" the macaw agreed, exchanging a bump-fist with his canine friend.
They launched a double assault on the Sword Mage, who, despite her experience, found herself having quite the difficulty dealing both with the Padawan's fierce strikes and the avian's swift moves. She sustained quite a lot of damage that pushed her back, making her collapse on one knee and taking deep breaths.
"What's wrong? Getting tired, Rachel?" Liquorice asked. "Not surprising; you've been here from the start and had to face plenty of strong guys... But now, you're at your limit!"
Rather than frown and look nervous, Rachel gave a confident grin. "That's what you think?" Pulling Maleficent's Bane away, she summoned the Eight Honors Saber, pulling the dial over to the pink kanji. It flashed and turned into a long sword with a large, white blade covered in red crosses. "Pink Honor: Healsong!"
Liquorice blinked her eyes. "I never saw her using that sword before. What can it do?"
Rachel immediately answered that question when she brought the blade to the few wounds she sustained and made it emanate a soft, comforting magical aura over them. They slowly but surely faded away, almost like she never got hurt in the first place. "Her injuries... They're healing on sight!" Blu exclaimed.
"Yeah, I'm really thankful I bought this sword once I discovered this form," Rachel said as she showed her sword. "Healsong, unlike most of my swords that are made for offense, is designed for medical properties. Not only can it heal my wounds, but it also has plenty of other abilities I have yet to master." She grinned and got ready to keep fighting. "Wanna see all of them?" She charged once more, just as the arena's countdown reached zero.
('Welcome to Amphibia' by Celica Gray)
Sprig Plantar hopped through the entrance and straight into the fighting zone, immediately reaching into his bag to grab a bill and shoot Dewey off Ralph's head. "Watch out, everyone! Sprig Plantar's in the house!"
"Great, we have to fight frogs, now?" Liquorice asked with a roll of her eyes.
"Don't underestimate him; that little guy can cause a lot of damage!" Logan declared from afar.
Remembering his training with Grime, the little pink amphibian began hopping all around whilst shooting bills with his slingshot. When Ralph attempted to squash him, he shot bills that exploded and released little spikes onto which he stepped, making the video game villain yell and jump all around in pain. He then grabbed a few explosive bill that he shot at Destiny, who blocked them with a wall of ice.
"Never thought we'd meet on opposite sides of a competition, Sprig!" the whale said with a smile, remembering the time they teamed up as part of Underdog X.
"Me neither. We're still friends, though, right?" the little frog asked, to which she nodded a yes. they started shooting water and bills at each other until Sprig decided to play slightly dirty by shooting a bill that exploded in a flash, hurting her already bad sight. With her being temporarily blinded, Sprig shot another bill into her face that release some powder. Pepper powder.
RDJ took notice of the scene and approached the little frog with a smile. "You know your way around with that slingshot, mate. Wanna have a little duel while we're here? Special Weapon: Slingshot!" He summoned a special slingshot that wrapped itself to his wrist, allowing him to take aim with a laser pointer.
"Wasn't expecting to meet another slingshot user here!" Sprig beamed before starting his slingshot duel with the bounty hunter.
A little farther from there, Rachel pushed Liquorice and Blu away from her before noticing Eight sitting down in a meditation position. "What's he doing? He's been sitting like this for a while now," she remarked.
Just as this question was asked, the fantasy hero suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, a purple energy emanating from his body. His bandana flew off, revealing that his usually brown hair turned purple and spiked up toward the sky. "Tension increased to a hundred!" he bellowed.
Eight launched an assault on Liquorice, who found herself on the defensive almost instantly. She tried to block the fantasy hero's now more powerful attacks, only to fail and get pushed back. Blu attempted to save her with a Fire spell that Eight broke with a Zap powered by his transformation, shocking the feathers off his body.
From the air, Toren was able to witness the entire scene. "Logan! We have a problem: Eight just went Super Saiyan on everyone!"
Logan saw this happening and grinned. "Looks like it's the perfect opportunity to try out my own new form!"
"Oh no...," Destiny mumbled.
As he focused, an icy wind swirled around Logan, fading away once his transformation happened. He was now an anthropomorphic snowy owl with white feathers that had flecks of black on hi back and wings, black talons and beak, and his eyes that retained their color from his human form. His already imposing musculature seemed to have grown even more, though his tummy seemed to have gained more weight. However, on a closer look, one could see that it was his fluffy feathers and not actual weight.
"... Okay, how many new transformations does he have that I'm not aware of?" Rachel annoyingly asked.
Toren, meanwhile, rubbed the back of his head. "That's weird; Logan did turn into a owl many times before, but never like this. He looks like those guys from Zootopia... And he's got a lot more muscles, too..."
Much to her frustration, Destiny realized that most of the girls in the arena gave attracted looks at her boyfriend, clearly amazed by his new handsomeness. "Why did you had to use it here and now?" she asked, fighting hard to stop herself from blushing.
"What? It's the perfect opportunity to try it out! You didn't want me not to use it after all the work Gabriel, Lena and the others did to get it for me?" Logan asked. A little grin then formed on his beak. "Just try not to freak out like when you first saw me like this, okay?"
"What's he talking about, Destiny?" Rachel questioned.
The whale's face turned even redder as her memories came back to her...
Flashback
Destiny sat outside Logan's house in Animal Kingdom, waiting for her boyfriend to come back from his magical experiment with Gabriel and Lena. Soon, the sound of flapping reached her ears, making her stand up and turn around. "Logan! You've re...turned...?
Her boyfriend had indeed returned... But not in his human form. He was now looking like a mix of his cute snowy owl self and his normal human one. Not only that, but he carried a lot more muscles than before... He looked quite handsome to the lady whale.
"Yo, Destiny! How ya doing?" Logan beamed with a smile.
"... W-What happened to you?" Destiny asked, her cheeks starting to turn red.
"This? Well, it's the result of Gabriel and Lena's experiment," Logan explained. "I thought they were going to give me a curse for fun... But turns out they actually wanted to help me deal with the little flustering problem I have with gorgeous ladies like you." He started flexing his muscles. "So? Like what you're seeing?"
The poor whale shark couldn't prevent the heat from rushing to her face, and her heartbeat increased tenfold. Logan looked so...masculine and good... She shook her head and gave a nervous smile. "Y-Yeah. You're pretty hot-I mean, in good shape... But can you return to your normal form now?"
"Why? I just got this new form."
"Yeah... But I like when you're in your human self, y'know?"
Logan grinned, seeing how she was reacting. "Well, that's too bad, but Gabriel and Lena said that I'm gonna be stuck like this for the next twelve hours before I can go back to being a human or cute owl again. You're gonna have to deal with it." He then sighed and wiped some sweat from his forehead. "Man, it sure is hot here, in Animal Kingdom. I think I need to release some steam."
The anthropomorphic owl began to lift his shirt, making his girlfriend widen her eyes in shock. "Logan, no!"
"Logan, yes!" Carrying on his cruel plan, Logan removed his shirt and tossed it aside, revealing the entirety of his strong, fluffy torso to his girlfriend. "You've been teasing me with your beauty for far too long: it's time I get some payback!"
Flashback ends
Destiny covered her cheeks with her hands and closed her eyes. "I'll never get over those twelve hours of teasing..." Rachel, Toren and Adam all gave curious looks at the whale's reaction.
"Now, let me show ya all what I can do with that new form!" Logan summoned his Fenrir Keyblade and held it forward. "Blizzard Form!" Fenrir glowed blue as his outfit gained a blue snowflake pattern and a cool breeze surrounded his body.
"Whoa! A new Drive Form?! I've never seen that one before!" Sora exclaimed.
Keyblade clashed against sword as Logan and Eight engaged in combat. "Flame Slash!" Logan narrowly avoided the burning blade of his opponent before stepping back and sending a slash of ice. Eight easily destroyed with his fire attack. "Since your form is based on the element of ice, then I just have to use my powered fire attacks to take you out!"
"I hadn't thought about that," Logan admitted.
The two opponents fought in close combat a little bit longer until Eight delivered a powerful swing that sent Logan flying away. "Sizzle!" The fantasy hero sent his fire elemental attack that the Owl avoided by jumping up in the air, from where he shot more slashes of ice at Eight.
"My turn. Ice Spikes!" Logan summoned spikes from thin air and sent them all at Eight, who set his sword on fire to destroy them all. As soon as he landed back on the ground, Logan found himself under assault from Eight, struggling to defend himself against his powerful strikes.
"You have an interesting power, but using only ice against me won't be enough to win! I suggest you use one of your other tricks!" Eight advised.
A grin formed on Logan's face when he heard this comment. "What are you talking about? You've already fallen into the trap that'll allow me to win!"
Confused by this statement, Eight quickly understood when Logan summoned ice wins on his back and wrapped them around the hero, preventing him from escaping. He delivered one Keyblade strike after the other, causing ice elemental damage that slowly froze his opponent. He then jumped back and held his Keyblade forward. "Ice Prison!" Pillars of ice rose around Eight, trapping him into a huge block of ice. Logan finished his combo by delivering a powerful strike that shattered the Ice Prison and sent Eight flying outside the fighting zone.
"Eight has been eliminated!"
"Thanks, man; I was getting annoyed by this guy and his broken spells!" Toren called from the air. The countdown reached zero at the same time.
('Arrival' by All Elite Wrestling)
The lights turned dark, the titantron displaying the video of a lonely owl flying across a snowy forest on its own. This owl had black feathers and landed on a white tree before giving a closeup on its golden eyes. Then, 'Jameson The Black Owl' appeared like a movie title. Some people in the audience noticed a figure standing on top of the coliseum's wall, looking almost like Batman just before jumping into action.
This little figure opened his wings and gracefully flew all the way down into the fighting zone. Standing proudly, Jameson grinned as the lights turned back on, allowing everybody to see his painted face and black feathers. "Watch out, everyone! Jameson the Vigilante has arrived!" When nobody said anything and simply gave him odd looks, the kid raised an eyebrow. "What's wrong?"
"... How old are you, kid?" someone in the audience asked.
"I'm two-and-a-half."
"What?! You're allowing a two-years-old to take part in a competition?!" Silver yelled towards Zeus' stand.
"He's not just a kid; he's capable of fighting on his own! You'll see," the King of Olympus assured.
Looking all around the fighting zone, Jameson decided to go after the biggest one of the batch, this being Ralph in this situation. The video game hero awkwardly rubbed the back of his head whilst looking at him. "Listen, kid, I don't think I'm comfortable fighting someone as young as you. Are you sure you don't just wanna walk away? I mean, you've seen the difference in size between us, right?"
Far from looking intimidated, the owlet puffed his chest out and gave a defying glare. "Vigilantes are not afraid to take on big guys like you!"
"Okay, don't say I didn't warn you." Pressing his huge hands together, Ralph attempted to squash the little owl, who ducked to the side and delivered a swing of his baseball into the giant's stomach. It was actually strong enough to knock the wind out of his lungs and make him curl down in pain. "Ouch! My candies!"
Jameson swiftly avoided every punch and swing whilst successfully landing every strike with his baseball bat. "Balloonra!" He conjured multicolored balloons and knocked them straight into Ralph, stunning him hard. Then, he smacked him under the jaw with enough strength to send him outside the fighting zone.
"Wreck-It Ralph has been eliminated!"
To say that the watchers and participants were surprised to see someone like Wreck-It Ralph getting eliminated by a little kid would be an understanding. As Jameson happily hopped around at his success, he failed to see Sprig missing a shot on RDJ, with the exploding bill heading for the owlet instead. Thankfully, Rachel managed to jump in the way just in time to block the explosive projectile with Maleficent's Bane.
"Huh?" Jameson asked as he turned toward her.
"You should be more careful here, little guy; that could've taken one feather or two from you," Rachel advised as she turned to look down at him.
"Oh, okay. Thanks, Miss."
"Rachel. Call me Rachel." She rested her sword on her shoulder and tilted her head. "Black feathers, a baseball bat... Say, are you that new friend Logan and Lena told me about? Jameson, was it?"
"Yes, that's me!" Jameson beamed.
"Logan told me how you saved the kids at Manor McDuck and also helped in rescuing Sora last summer. You have my thanks for that." Rachel smiled and patted the little owl on the head. "Your magic is quite powerful for being able to take out Wreck-It Ralph. And at such a young age! Can't wait to see what else you can do, little guy!"
As Rachel walked away to go fight somewhere else, Jameson curiously looked at her before getting approached by Logan, now back in his human form. "Jameson, what the cheese are you doing here? This is a fighting competition!"
"I know." Jameson looked down and rubbed his shoulder with a slightly sad expression. "A few weeks ago, I saw people dreaming about this event, saying that some of the greatest heroes in all the Magical World are going to participate, with the winner earning the right to be called the greatest of them all. This made me think that maybe...if I was to win... Then Lena and Poe would see that I'm actually good and not evil like my mother... This might be the chance for me to finally be welcomed into my family!"
Logan stared at the little kid before sighing. "Listen, James, I still don't think you need to go that far to be accepted into your family. But if that's what you wanna do, I won't get in your way. Keep in mind that I do intend to come out of this victorious, though."
"Okay!" Jameson beamed, exchanging a high-five with Logan. He then stared at Rachel fighting with Liquorice from afar. "Say, who's that Rachel girl, Logan? One of your Dream Defender friends?"
"Yes; Rachel's the second-in-command of our group and also one of its strongest members." Logan placed a hand on his shoulder with a smile. "And you know what? She also happens to be the girlfriend of Poe De Spell, your uncle."
"W-What?!" Jameson exclaimed, his golden eyes widening in shock. He looked back at the Sword Mage. "But then, that means...that she's...my aunt?"
"Exactly." Logan patted his friend on the head. "You've got more family than you think." He walked away to go fight on with Sora. Jameson, meanwhile, called Meow Wow to hop on his back so that the Dream Eater could bounce all around the fighting zone with him. The competition's countdown ran out soon after.
('The owl House Theme' by T.J. Hill)
Amity Blight entered the arena wearing her Hexside student uniform. "Let's go, sweet potato!" Luz beamed from the audience, causing Amity to blush cutely just before she got inside the fighting zone.
Vicky was the first one to greet her. "You must be that young prodigy from Hexside I heard so much about. I got the chance to meet your parents a few times; are you as talented as they said you are?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't take my parents' word so easily," the young witch advised. As her opponent made a giant plant creature come out from the ground, Amity summoned an abomination to engage the other in a fight.
Amity's abomination put on a good fight, only to ultimately be destroyed by Vicky's plants due to its fragile structure. Instead, the young witch used a Fire Glyph to conjure a fireball that reduced the plant monster into ashes. With her monster gone, Vicky gracefully jumped closer to Amity and began swinging her parasol at her, prompting the young witch to step back until she received the tip of the parasol into her stomach and beneath her jaw.
"You have a lot of talent, young lady. Maybe we could get to see each other again after this event is over," Vicky suggested.
Coughing a bit, Amity looked up at the lady with a grin. "Thanks... Too bad you aren't the only one who's killed with plant magic. Thorn Vault!" Planting her hand on the ground, she made a lot of vines with thorns burst from below and trap Vicky in their hold, badly damaging her outfit.
"Hey! I spent so much time getting this dress ready!" Vicky complained.
"In this kind of event, you can have victory or keep your dress safe, but not both," Amity remarked with a grin.
Sprig and RDJ were still locked in their slingshot duel, doing their best to land a bill on the other. At one point, the young frog sent an explosive bill that collided with the bounty hunter's magical blast, creating an explosion that knocked the both of them back. Logan, meanwhile, lifted Sora on his shoulders in a electric chair position so that Dewey could plant him on the ground with a double foot stomp.
"Oh yeah! Team Dewgan is dewing it!" the young duck beamed.
"We sure are!" Logan chuckled. "So? Who do you want us to take on now?"
"Actually, I have something else in mind," Dewey said with an unusually serious expression. "I'd like us to have a wrestling match here and now."
This statement caused Logan to widen his eyes in surprise. "Y-You're serious? Why's that?"
"Don't get me wrong, coach; fighting with you is super fun, but I'd like to know what it's like to actually wrestle against you," Dewey explained. "That way, I can know how far I've come since I began training with you. Plus, this competition is supposed to be everybody for themselves, remember?"
Logan hesitantly stared at his student...before giving a little smile. "Okay then, if that's what you want. Just know that I won't go all out on you, okay?"
The coach and his student began walking in circles with the former trying to catch the latter, who used his agility and acrobatics to escape him. Logan eventually managed to catch his webbed foot, but Dewey expertly spin kicked his face to break free and then jumped up to make him flip with a hurricanrana. "Looks like the student is getting better than the teacher!" he boasted.
A chuckle escaped Logan's lips as he sat on the ground. "Don't get too cocky, duckling."
When Dewey went for another spin kick, Logan grabbed his foot and attempted to apply a figure four leg lock submission hold. However, Dewey managed to squirm out of his grip and then delivered a few chops to his chest. Logan briefly smiled at his student's progress before going for a chop of his own that Dewey ducked and then dropkicked him back.
Dewey attempted to catch Logan with a stunner, only for the coach to counter it with an inverted atomic drop followed by a Ura Nage that slammed him hard on the ground. "I hope I haven't delivered the move too hard. Otherwise, Della'll kill me," he nervously thought.
As Logan picked Dewey in his arms and carried him toward the fighting zone's limit, the young duck delivered elbows to his face, prompting him to let go. Logan went for a clothesline that Dewey countered with a monkey flip. "And now, for the big finale!" Dewey walked away and then performed a series of flips and other acrobatics as he got closer to his coach, ready to land on him with a swift splash. However, before he could make contact, he suddenly received a magic blast courtesy of RDJ that knocked him out of the fighting zone.
"And that's three for me!" the bounty hunter boasted with a grin, blowing steam off the tip of his pistol.
"Dewey Duck has been eliminated!"
"Aww, come on!" the young duck complained, mad that he didn't get to finish his spectacular move.
"Don't worry, kiddo; you did great!" Della assured her son from the audience. "I'm still gonna have to ground you for participating without permission, though."
His moral lower than before, Dewey left the arena as Logan summoned his Owl Buster to engage RDJ with the goal to avenge his student. The countdown reached zero soon after.
('La Tortura' by Shakira & Alejandro Sanz)
Ay payita mía
Guárdate la poesía
Guárdate la alegría pa'ti
Almyra crossed the entrance gate whilst dancing. She was wearing an emerald-green dancer's top into which was imbedded a beautiful sapphire alongside Arabian pants of the same color. Bracelets decorated her wrists while a necklace adorned her long neck, all of them made of emerald.
No pido que todos los días sean de sol
No pido que todos los viernes sean de fiesta
Tampoco te pido que vuelvas rogando perdón
The peafowl touched her hands together above her head as she moved her waist to the rhythm of the song, every male in the arena immediately mesmerized by her beauty. Be it her flamboyant feathers, her gorgeous turquoise eyes or the grace of her dance moves. "That's my friend!" Silver yelled from the audience.
Si lloras con los ojos secos
Y hablando de ella
Ay amor me duele tanto
She blushed and blew kisses to everybody who complimented her before stopping, taking a deep breath, and maintaining an air of dignity as she stepped into the fighting zone. The first one to come across her was none other than the Sword Mage herself. "I recognize you; you were that girl dressed as Gazelle during the Hocus Pocus Bash, aren't you?"
"In the flesh and feathers, sweetie!" Almyra beamed, giving a confident smile. "Usually, I'm not into fighting, but winning a competition like this might be a golden opportunity to get Gazelle's attention and get her to see my talent. I couldn't let that pass."
"I respect that; it always take an important motivation to take part in competitions." She raised Maleficent's Bane. "Are you ready to fight?"
A grin forming on her beak, Almyra placed a pair of wireless headphones around her head. "Watch my hips, girl; they never lie!" She assumed her dance stance and began shimmying her hips to activate the power of her Dance of the Mystical Veils. Seven scimitars made of magic appeared around her and floated above the ground. "Sword Dance!"
Through her magic power, the peahen sent the seven swords after Rachel, the Sword Mage finding herself in quite the pickle as she had to deviate attacks coming from every side and angle. Despite the difficulty, Rachel eventually managed to break the scimitars thanks to her more advanced experience.
"So what Logan said was true: you really do have a power similar to Fantasia. Let's see if you can push me to my limit, just like Gabriel did!" Rachel charged at Almyra and began swinging her sword, forcing her to avoid the blade with dance moves.
Eventually, the peahen performed a graceful moonsault to get away from her opponent and then began spinning on herself to create a wall of wind that prevented Rachel's sword from touching her. Whilst the wall of wind started fading away, the avian closed her eyes and began moving her head and upper body in a slow, smooth way, almost like a snake. Then, surely enough, an actually snake made of magic appeared, Almyra sending it to grab Rachel and hold her in place.
"Let me go!" Rachel bellowed as she attempted to break free.
Stepping closer, Almyra built energy with her dance moves before delivering a kick charged with electric energy that knocked Rachel away. "Hope that was good enough a performance for you, sweetie," the peafowl boasted with a proud grin as she dusted herself off. "Now, who to fight with...?! OH MY GOSH!" For some reason, Almyra darted across the battlefield and straight to Amity, whom she kicked away. She then used fire energy to destroy the thorn-covered vines holding Vicky in place, gently pulling her down. "What happened to you, my poor little peanut?"
"I picked up a fight with the wrong person, apparently," Vicky replied as she got on her feet and checked herself for any injury. "But don't worry; I'm alright."
"Sweetie, you're not alright; look at yourself!" Almyra said, pointing at the 1890s outfit that was completely ruined by the thorns. "I can't let you compete like this! Just stay still while Auntie Almyra fixes everything!"
Vicky followed the peahen's directives and tried not to move as she started dancing all around her. With the magic energy provided by her Dance of the Mystical Veils, Almyra brought all them material required to fix the damage done to Vicky's dress, making sure not to miss even the smallest detail. Then, about thirty seconds later, the work was done: Vicky's dress looked as though it just came out of the fanciest shop around.
"Oh my! You did it! I don't know how, but you fixed my dress! Thank you so much, darling!" Vicky beamed, giving a tight embrace to the peafowl, who cutely blushed.
"It was my pleasure, girl; whenever someone's appearance is put in jeopardy, I make it personal... Now, tell me, who tried to ruin an amazing dress like yours?"
Amity felt herself shrinking when Vicky pointed at her. "Huh..."
"You..." Almyra slowly stepped toward the young witch, her face turning a fuming red - she looked ready to explode! "HOW DARE YOU DESTROY SUCH A FINE PIECE OF FASHION ART LIKE THIS?!"
"... I think I seriously messed up here..."
Author's note: Poor Amity. Looks like she got herself in quite the pickle, now having to deal with not one but TWO angry fashion lovers. You gotta admire Almyra and her sense of compassion for being willing to fix one of her opponents' dress in the middle of a fight.
Logan showcased his new anthropomorphic owl form and Drive Form here: Blizzard Form. For those of you who aren't aware, he got them after drinking a special potion made by Gabriel and Lena in the seventh chapter of TheDragonSaver's 'The Dream Keeper Chronicles' story, 'Lena & Logan's Magical Day'. Blizzard Form grants him a greater control over the element of ice...while his anthro owl form turns him into a sight to see for those ladies. *chuckles* TheDragonSaver really wanted to know how Destiny reacted to seeing Logan's new form for the first time, so I was more than happy to show this scene in a flashback. The poor whale had to endure twelve flustering hours of teasing from her boyfriend. Serves her right after what she did to him just before his movie marathon with Toren and Aline!
Rachel got to meet Jameson for the first time in this chapter. This is a more important moment than you realize for an important reason: Jameson is the son of Magica De Spell, who is the sister of Poe. And since Rachel is Poe's girlfriend, then that technically makes her Rachel's aunt. Quite the twist, don't you think? Will Jameson win the Hero's Rumble and finally find the courage to reveal the truth to his family?
