You gotta aim your attack at one of us, you can't attack all three of us at once.I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE! I grab some lemons, make lemonade... AND THEN MAKE IT RAIN LEMONADE IN THE OTHER COMBATANTS EYES! I personally am holding my glass of lemonade above my head, catching it before it lands. Except, that isn't all! The lemonade isn't actually lemonade, it just LOOKS like it. It's actually highly concentrated power from Excalibur. I drained a little bit of Excaliburs energy, replacing it with my own, and then I concentrated it and made a lot more of the energy. The only reason it's liquid is that it was just that concentrated. I'm still holding lemonade though. That wasn't false. Once it's done raining, I drink the lemonade and Excalibur energy mix. Delicious.
Put something else in. Thought it was a ffa. Lol.You gotta aim your attack at one of us, you can't attack all three of us at once.
pick me! Pick me pick me pick meeeeeeeeeeee

The quiet watcher is only slightly surprised at the fact that the Godmodder had actually been stuck inside of the tribulation the entire time. He leaves the bot he was still standing on alone for the moment as he trained himself for two turns by hanging upside down with nothing but his own powers as he worked on his speed, physical endurance, and adaptability.
Then, he negates [MINOR MINNIE] and lets himself fall into the Giant pit with the sign, certain that out of all the others he was maybe the only one capable of getting back out and making it into training if it was actually a red herring.
Action 1-3: I go to the Flower Field and create a machine that auto cuts flowers and puts them into baskets. It works at a very fast pace
I KNEW we should have scanned for the Godmodder. This is what, the sixth time he's tricked us?
Action 1: I throw the Bigger Fish into the Giant Pit With Sign Outside It Marking It As Godmodder's Secret Location. Since it's so big, it should cushion our fall into the pit. Or at the very least, figuring out how deep the pit goes.
Action 2: I redouble my training efforts with new focus, massively increasing the training bonus I provide with auto-gen.
Action 3: I make a Dream Power Siphon to siphon Morpheus' dream power into our power supply to give us an extra multiplier.
(Action!)
(Action 1)
I take a look at the Pit and simply decided, if it's too dark to light it up, then just develop night/dark vision goggles. Which what I did and distribute them to the rest of the players who's interested in pit spelunking.
/WIP
I cackle as I step foot into the arena.
Time for a quick bout of out-of-character combat application!
First off, no mechanical effect, but I issue all three of the other players a CHALLENGE.
COME AND GET ME YA POOPLORDS I'M GONNA TAKE YOU ALL. DOWN. AT. ONCE.
Time to ruin somebody's day. =)
I think this round I'll target Dragon of Hope. They seem like the biggest threat by far, might as well make sure they don't get a chance to let off a second attack, right?
(OOC: I selected basically at random, though the fact that Dragon has more practice than you other two did factor in.)
It's time to begin.
Piono stares out across the arena at his gathered opponents. Dragon of Hope, Ender_smirk, and Danganmachin. One newbie, one well seasoned member, and another who was somewhere in between. To call this a tough fight would be a rather bold lie, but then again, he himself was always full of tricks and his allies rarely failed to disappoint on that front either. He couldn't let his guard down for more than a second, or the end would likely come swiftly. Especially with all the OOC taunting he'd been doing since the update came out. If all had gone well, he'd have all three of them trying to focus him down, and that suited him just fine.
He hadn't gotten to lay down a proper curbstomp in a while anyways, what better time to remedy that than in a display of mutually beneficial power airing?
There wasn't really.
He idled, as the arena's countdown screen was slowly lowered down from the air above. The other three all looked either unconcerned or slightly nervous. That was good, either way. Both were appropriate responses for something like this, nothing was truly at stake here, all they had to do was put on a show after all.
Of course, that was no reason not to win.
"Good grief can we stop monologuing and get to fighting. I thought merging consciousnesses and player power properly meant we'd actually, you know, get to work doing things."
It's dramatic tension, shush.
"Melodrama and drama are two different things."
Well I suppose it doesn't matter either way, you just tanked the mood.
"Get on with it!"
Fine
The countdown settled, the contestants looking at each other, and then at Piono, then nodding. Piono was fine though, he'd already selected his target.
The buzzer sounded, and suddenly Dragon of Hope found Piono right up in his face, coat flaring behind him, dangerous glow in his eyes.
"No hard feelings, okay?" And then Piono's palm slammed into Dragon's chest, launching him headlong into an inky darkness.
Test Your Mettle
Dragon of Hope tumbles backwards through the inky blackness, head over heels, attempting to right himself. As he's a Player, he does, but there doesn't seem to be anything to land on, or see... He hits the ground with a thud, on his back, because apparently he oriented himself the wrong way. He slowly stands up, and looks around. He seems to be standing on some sort of raised stone platform in the middle of a smallish floating island. He walks over to the side, and looks down. He supposes a purple void is better than the featureless inky blackness that consumed him moments before... but honestly the improvement was rather small.
Dragon turns when he hears footsteps. Piono stands across from him, on the other end of the platform. Piono smiles, it's a dangerous smile. Piono pulls two small black rods from his coat pockets, and clicks the buttons on them causing beams of blue light to extend outwards into curved blades. They're swords. Piono tosses one of the handles to Dragon, who barely catches it due to his surprise. Piono twirls his own blade in his hand once, and then takes up a ready stance. "Defend yourself."
The duel kicks off suddenly, with Piono blurring forward, too fast for the eye to track, and Dragon of Hope barely blocking the first blow, perhaps more out of luck than anything else. Piono's sword becomes a whirling maelstrom of flickering blue light that crashes into dragon of hope's defenses again and again with blinding speed. Though the blade doesn't seem to be a lightsaber or anything, acting as if the blue light is indeed just made of metal, every cut and slice against dragon's skin hurts and burns. All the more because wherever Dragon's sword is, Piono himself doesn't seem to have any interest in being. Whether it be a quick parry that throws Dragon completely off of his balance and his sword out of the way, or twirling around behind him to deliver another slash across his back, Piono is always in the worst place for being hit.
Eventually, one way or another, Dragon manages to lock blades with Piono, and given that barest moments of respite, starts bringing out his player powers to try and aid in the duel, only for Piono to kick him in the stomach and send him tumbling across the platform. Dragon staggers to his feet, and Piono tilts his head, waiting for Dragon to stand.
"I suppose that given backstory erasure is a thing, this style of dueling has no way of being familiar to you... Allow me to explain the rules of the match before you accidentally 'disqualify' yourself." Piono flips his sword around a few times. "The only weapons we are allowed are our physical features, and these blades. No psionics, magic, or similar powers may be used directly offensively, though you may use otherwise offensive powers to aid your own movement or to disorient your opponent so long as they are not used as an actual attack. Shapeshifting is prohibited, but other than that, self enhancements are generally allowed for speed, strength, precognizance... whatever it is you feel appropriate. If you desire a ranged attack, the blades have a gun form, achieved by pressing the button used to turn them on. They are deactivated automatically upon completion of the duel." Piono flips his sword, clicking the button, and it turns into something resembling a handgun, or maybe certain small SMGs. He waves it in the air while pulling the brand new trigger, sending a spray of glowing sapphire orbs up into the distance where they disappear.
Piono transforms his weapon back into a sword and readies himself once more. "I hope you underestand, you may find breaking the code of conduct rather... problematic for your victory."
Piono levels his sword at Dragon. "En guarde."
As soon as Dragon of Hope starts to move Piono is lunging at him, a lightning-quick roundhouse kick catching dragon in the side of the head and slamming him into a rock on the edge of the island. Dragon tries to struggle up only for Piono to slam into him, causing dragon to crash through the rock (shattering it) and skipping off the far edge of the island into the air enough that he lands on another island a distance off. Dragon rolls and stumbles to his feet and looks up. Everything goes into bullet time as Piono slams into him feet-first against, but coming down from a massive jump arc from the other island, so instead of bouncing off the side, Piono sends him crashing straight through the entire bulk of the island they just landing on.
The two fall through the air, amidst small bits of rock that came with when Piono pounded the Dragon of Hope through its surface. Dragon attempts to make attacks on Piono, presumably using a number of different powerups, but Piono just seems to ve everywhere. His attacks punch through defensive barriers, every manuever gets countered expertly and attacks are even less able to hit him than before. It suddenly dawns on Dragon of Hope that Piono is buffing battle-long speed buffs into himself through quick assorted bonuses the longer the fight goes on. Something decisive will have to be done, but nothing seems to work. Something bad is likely to happen if the code of conduct is violated. But it might be the only choice...
No, it's too risky.
But things seem to be going poorly, Piono's speed and reaction time is astronomical at this point and by the time dragon can act on any precognitive abilities he's already seen your movement and changed his plan of attack, turning his attack against him. Dragon tries everything just to get a handle on things. He flips on the gun, but Piono just reflects the bullets back at him before knocking him through another island.
Slowly, but steadily, the two of them draw nearer to the center of the arena, the largest island at the very center of the floating combat platforms in the strange purple void.
Finally, as Dragon staggers around, trying desperately to fend off the string of attacks on one of the islands around the rim, the attacks suddenly stop. Dragon staggers forwards as the attack he was expecting never comes, he looks around.
"Five pointed blow: Projectile Strike!" Dragon spins around, as always seems to be the case for this fight, just too late to actually intercept the attack, this time one of the weird named sword moves that he hasn't used since... wow since he joined the fight on the Hexagonafield actually. Oh well, the point is, Piono draws his sword around in the shape of a five pointed star. Five clean slices. Then he pulses his hands forward with so much speed and forces that the air between his palms and the still-stunned Dragon of hope's chest collapses inwards and then explodes violently, launching Dragon skyward.
Up in the air, Dragon tries to right himself, but he's started to run out of energy by this point, and Piono's basically moving faster than light at this point anyways. Piono slams into him, and as they careen through the air Piono bounces back and forth, pushing off the air by kicking it so hard it makes a miniature explosion and sending himself rocketing back and forth through Dragon, lacing him with slashes and sword strikes and knocking him about through the air even as his arc continues towards the center island. Finally, he soars over the island and Piono grabs him on one of his passes and pulls Dragon's horizontal movement to a stop before launching upwards. Piono bolts upwards with one final motion and performs an omnistrike on him:
It looks something like this but more and faster.
Finally, with the final strike, I rise up above Dragon of Hope, switching my weapon to gun mode for the first time over the course of the fight, pointing it straight downwards and charging it up to full power as Dragon of Hope rises up to the peak of his upwards arc, and then fire straight into his chest, launching him downwards into the central platform of the island below with a crack. I switch black to blade mode, swing it a few times for dramatic effect, then launch off the air above me, speeding downwards at frankly physics-nullifying speeds and slamming my sword into his chest.
Dragon of Hope does... something. There's so many different ways he could try and and break the code of conduct I can't even begin to try and catch them all here. The point is, he broke the code of conduct, and is about to regret it.
First thing that happens is that his concentration is broken, whatever it was he was trying to do, he doesn't get to finish, because a bolt of light strikes him in the head, wiping his train of thought for just long enough to keep him from having any chance of actually counter anything. When his mind refocuses, he is wrapped in glowing chains of light, and the purple void beyond is no longer purple, but a searing white. Almost none of the other islands are visible because of how bright it is. He isn't able to linger on that for long, as the chains tighten up, lashing him in an upright imobile position and burning into his skin.
Piono grabs the end of one of the chains and whips it around, yanking Dragon up into the air, and then slamming him down on the rock below.
"I guess it's time to demonstrate the consequences of failing to meet the code of conduct: having your powers disabled, and your opponent given free reign of theirs."
Piono gestures, and Dragon stares up in horror (or maybe just resigned disappointedment, who knows) as a cloud of massive swords form in the air above him. Piono closes his fist, and the swords launch downwards in a flurry of strikes. 4 sets of swords for every conceivably damage element, and each one is a True Lethal attack applied through extensive shenanigans involving sidequests, hijacking an RPG's save system, and a very angry blonde swordsman. Everyone of these attacks would instantly kill most beings from any health value.
Dragon isn't most beings, he's a Player, so he survives. But the island beneath him doesn't. It doesn't even survive the first one, so each successive strike hits him several more times and deals more damage while also sending him down faster.
By the time the swords finish colliding with his torso, the islands have all disappeared from his sight. The only thing informing him that something might be wrong is the massive ominous hum from far below.
"I never actually got to use the Energy Obliterator's other rounds after that one attack near the beginning of the thread. You get to have it now, lucky you."
Dragon, still depowered by the draining holy chains of law wrapped around him, is unable to do a single thing as the massive collumn of impossibly hot power streams into and past him, burning him away as his very atoms, quarks and further and further below dissolve into sub-quantum goop, and then not even that.
Dragon of Hope stumbles backwards, everything he just experienced flashing before his eyes. He looks around, at Piono, at Ender, at Danganmachin. Wait, he's... still in the arena... was... was it just an illusion?
Piono steps back from Dragon, who is preparing his own attack, pulls out a little dial.
[Street Fighter Power Combo Recorded: play back?]
>Y
Suddenly, a pair of health bars appear over both Piono and Dragon of Hope, like in a fighting game. One big difference is that Piono's super meter is already totally capped out, and Dragon's isn't. Piono presses one more button on his thing, and suddenly the massive string of attacks he launched in the 'illusion' get slammed into Dragon of Hope, knocking him up into the air as hit after hit lands on him in rapid succession.
Dragon bounces all over the place, up, down, off the ground a few times, and suddenly as the last massive hit slams him into the ground and back up into the air he sees Piono, having jump up to his height, pointing his fingers in a finger gun, right at Dragon of Hope's head. The tips of Piono's fingers are glowing.
Piono fires. An enormous blast of light blue energy streaks out of his finger and slams into Dragon of Hope, sending him spinning wildly away between the high power of the attack and the enormous damage% he racked up increasing the knockback even more he goes so fast he slams into the arena's walls so hard that he goes through them and lands up back outside in the main portion of the battlefield.
This is clearly out of bounds.
tl;dr: Dragon of Hope gits rekt
1x action: I poke Suppressor B.
2x action: I grab a large number of pickaxes and distribute them as best I can among the denizens of the Dice Town.
Actions 1, 2, and 3: I bash the Morpheus Heartless and Morpheus Nobody over the head. Hard. So hard, in fact, that they fall unconscious for a moment. While you're unconscious, you can't dream. As such, Dream power spills out of the Morpheus Heartless's and Morpheus Nobody's control, whereupon I collect it.
Ultimo Durana: 100 Energy Stored
3 ACTION FOCUS - FOUL: "But for every yin, there's a yang." I cast Foul over the landscape, obliterating weaker monsters instantly and stealing their power.
x3 Action:
Eyowe goes to the miners as a teacher, here to teach them the most important lesson there is to be taught in mining: "Never dig straight down"
I ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE! I grab some lemons, make lemonade... AND THEN MAKE IT RAIN LEMONADE IN THE OTHER COMBATANTS EYES! I personally am holding my glass of lemonade above my head, catching it before it lands. Except, that isn't all! The lemonade isn't actually lemonade, it just LOOKS like it. It's actually highly concentrated power from Excalibur. I drained a little bit of Excaliburs energy, replacing it with my own, and then I concentrated it and made a lot more of the energy. The only reason it's liquid is that it was just that concentrated. I'm still holding lemonade though. That wasn't false. Once it's done raining, I drink the lemonade and Excalibur energy mix. Delicious. (If I can't attack everyone, then I aim for pionoplayer)
"Okay, so I admit I wasn't expecting this specific turn of events, but I knew the Service Robot was up to no good. I just thought it was like secretly Suppressor C or D or something instead. I'll say that's a half point for me."
MANAGEMENT: The third Hydroelectric and Research II. Still no corner cutting.
(x3)I realise i still have the ziplock bag containing the Sponge containing the Bad Luck...hmm
I render myself Invisible and sneak above the 2 Parts of Morpheus and carefully remove the Sponge of Bad Luck from within it with claws wearing 7 layers of Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Rubber Gloves because after this much Time,whatever Bad Juju in there must have become even worse,fermenting until it becomes a Festering Concept,a Conceptual Weapon of Unluckiness,a Cosmic Anti-force...
I then carefully descend closer to the 2 Presences,invoking the Arcana of Forces to render me invisible,and then,wring the Sponge Dry making the Concentrated Festering Bad Luck rain down on these 2,this makes the Both Very,Very Unlucky,so Unlucky that my next move may work,Also i have a Clean Sponge for Conceptual Absorption again
I then take out the Vial of the Heart Aspect,a Pink/Magenta Liquid that throbs to some unseen Heartbeat...The Nature of the Heart Aspect is to do with Souls,but in this case,it's quite literal,i consume the Vial and then ABSOLUTELY PATTERN-FRAY both of the Morpheuses with Soul-hurty Lightning and some general Soul Shenanigans and for the Nobody,a double-dose Serving of a Keyblade made from Paradigm Breaker in response to the Vial of Heart's Power,i then clean up the Leaked Dream Energy with the Sponge to prevent them from getting the Dream Energy back and put it back into the Ziplock Bag for later use
...you know what? I think I'll just mine. Just me, my pickaxe, and my motorcycle sized tunneling machine. Down and down we'll go into the Desperate Dice Mine, going on a lovely spiral to allow less vehicularly equipped miners to follow on foot. Sensors help look for the dice we seek and help avoid destabilizing the mine and collapsing it.
Fortunately for me, the drill mounted on my tunneling machine uses fictional diamonds, making it a super drill despite the issues with using diamonds. Screw you laws of physics, Player power for the win! (x3)
Straixala wracked their brain. What could they possibly do now? Even all of their efforts combined hadn't reduced the Dream Energy by half! Not to mention the Seeker of Darkness's overwhelming Darkness was just... It was reaching critical levels, he could tell. And to make everything worse, they were being played by the Godmodder... again!
And because they were a Nobody, they couldn't even care. They stood there, passively watching as everything spiraled well out of control. Why should they try to continue? Why should they try to keep going?
But that's when a Red Light surged within them. They were filled with the need... the DESIRE to keep moving forward! They wanted to PERSEVERE... To show KINDNESS... To enact JUSTICE... To have COURAGE... To stand with INTEGRITY... and if they need to be PATIENT, then so be it!
And then, for a brief moment, this DETERMINATION mingled with the LIGHT of his hope and love. This Light engulfed Straixala's vision, leaving them in an entirely different place, even though in reality they hadn't moved an inch.
They were in a reality of Darkness, but it wasn't the malevolent kind. It was the Darkness of the unknown, and of the subconscious, and of Nothing, and of that Darkness that lies beneath the eyes.
In this Darkness was a platform of pure Light, but something was wrong. It was shattered, frayed around the edges as fragments threatened to be swallowed by or fall into the Darkness. However, there was a rainbow of energy holding them together. A rainbow of the that same forward moving Desire from earlier.
"I barely recognized it for what it was, and was only just able to keep myself held together."
Straixala turned around with a start on that platform of Light. The person who said that was but an outline like a thin, blue glass. Their shape, though was distinct.
"You're... You're my Somebody," Straixala noted idly.
"Well, my Light, but yeah," Alastair's Light nodded.
There was a moment of silence.
"So... your Heartless has gone power mad." Straixala said lamely.
Alastair's Light nodded. "That makes sense. I never could handle being powerless."
Straixala nodded. That's what their memories said. The memories that were now suspect. Straixala summoned the Chain of Memories, looking over each link and the memories entwined within.
"What do we do now? This... we might not even exist." The Nobody smiled coldly. "At least for me, that's kinda how this works."
"So what?"
Straixala looked at Alastair's Light for a moment in shock. Then, slowly, they returned their gaze to the Chain.
Straixala chuckled hollowly. "You would think that, wouldn't you? All that matters is living life to the fullest, following whatever faith you have..."
"And doing right by others." Another moment of silence passed before the spectre of Light sighed. "I must admit, I'm not sure why we're here, and what to do now."
Straixala thought for a moment. Then, in the distance, he saw something and smiled.
"Maybe... Maybe it was for my sake." Alastair's Light raised an eyebrow as Straixala walked to the edge of the platform. "After all, there's one dream that all Nobodies have. And I know now... I know now what I need to do."
Then Straixala came back from the vision. They stared down the Nobody of Morpheus.
"Morpheus... out of gratitude for my Somebody, and the Hopes of everyone else, I helped bring you back. But now, all I need from you..."
He summoned the Chain of Memories.
"...is your POWER!"
Straixala leapt at Morpheus's Nobody, weapon at the ready. The Boss Monster lashed out, wreathed in POWER!
Within seconds, Straixala whipped the Chain out and latched onto Morpheus's Heartless as it swung its mighty limbs. The momentum managed to barely drag Straixala out of the path of the swing. Dismissing the Chain, Straixala cast Magnet on himself, using the concept of attraction to send himself to the giant Nobody and stick to its surface.
Morpheus sneered and began surgically swatting at the insignificant insect on its body. Straixaala's mind, however, was unclouded by fear or any emotion, and dodged with extreme precision. The precision gave way to speed, and the speed blurred perception. Soon, the Boss Nobody overreached, and Straixala seized the opportunity.
He leapt into the air, cancelling the Magnet Spell, resummoning the Chain of Memories. He wrapped it around the Boss Nobody's neck and pulled.
Morpheus's Nobody writhed and thrashed, but Straixala hung on with every errant, random twitch and furious heave. The Chain of Memories sunk into the Dream power, entangling itself with the energy deeply. Morpheus's Nobody eventually abandoned its tactic and charged backwards towards The WALL, intent on smearing the mortal upon its back.
But it was too late. Straixala had what he came for.
When Morpheus's Nobody was within range of The WALL, Straixala leaped and stuck themselves to it with another Magnet Spell. Chain of Memories in hand, he ran up its length, letting it go taut and dragging the Boss Nobody up with him!
Once he reached the center of the ceiling Alastair's Nobody let go of the spell once more, letting them both go into freefall. One spell of Gravity, though, allowed him to catch up with the bigger Nobody and impact with great force! The Chain went taut for a moment... then it TORE off the Dream Energy surrounding them! The Boss Nobody, meanwhile, rocketed towards the floor and impacted it with a thunderous BOOM.
Straixala, Dream Energy in hand, landed in the Superhero pose before standing, returning to the vision he saw earlier in triumph.
Alastair stared in wonder. "Why.. why did you do all of that?"
Straixala shrugged nonchalantly. "It was only logical, to do something to fulfill both of our Dreams. And what better way to increase our chances... "
The vision lit up with the Dream energy, Light... and DETERMINATION.
"Than with Hopes and Dreams?"
With a start, the platform of Light began to refuse and grow. The melded light began to take on a myriad of hues and colors, turning it from a shattered platform of pure light into a circular Stained Glass Platform.
In the distance, a bright light shined, revealing another such platform forming.
The vision's name became clear now.
Straixala and Alastair's Light were both in the 'Stations of Awakening.'
Soon, Alastair's Light became filled out with his normal colors and hues. No longer was he just a mirage, but a person.
Alastair proper was revived as a person of pure light in their Heart.
"...you... You revived me. But what about you?"
Straixala smiled, but this time it was different. It wasn't fake or hollow.
"Well... Player power is wonderful at creating bodies." He chuckled. "And that tick thing? As it turns out, Nobodies forming Hearts runs on ticks, not turns."
Alastair's smile grew. "Congratulations! What are you going to do now?"
Straixala waved his hand to the myriad of colors that had held the Heart together earlier. "I think I will try to understand the mysteries of this Will... this DETERMINATION."
Alastair nodded. "Good luck then. I've got some Darkness to get sorted out."
With a parting nod, they both returned from the Stations of Awakening back to Reality. Straixala and Alastair stood side by side before parting with a nod.
Alastair's footsteps lead him to the Seeker of Darkness.
"So, do you want me to call you Ansem, Xehanort, the Seeker of Darkness?" He pulled out the Spirit Weapon he received earlier from Gold Hero. "Or do you want me to call you a Parasite?"
Alastair, Seeker of Darkness, turned around. His face turned into a scowl.
"How do you exist?" He growled, Wrath covering Fear. "I have our Heart!"
Alastair smiled smartly. "I am our Light, from my Heart riven."
The Seeker of Darkness pondered the words carefully. The resulting smile was very, very wicked.
"Then we are a Heart of Light, and a Heart of Darkness? Hypothetically equal in measure..."
Alastair flinched.
"You know what I'm talking about then. But you're still too weak to participate in the grand experiment. To see if we can succeed where Ventus and Vanitas failed."
The Seeker of Darkness floated into the air, bowing with a foul smile. His aura visible, he floated to the side to reveal Morpheus's Heartless.
"Then allow me to mold myself into the role proper!"
Alastair tried to stop him, but he was then accosted by the Heartless, who had been ignored this entire time! The Seeker of Darkness, satisfied with his work, turned towards the Boss Heartless.
"Heartless of Morpheus, I have a dream of power! A dream of strength! A dream of Darkness everflowing! With your help, I can achieve ultimate control over the Plane of Hearts...KINGDOM HEARTS!" He reached out to the fellow Heartless. "Lend me your power, so I may achieve my destiny!"
The Heartless responded with a snarl, lashing out with its special! The Seeker of Darkness was unimpressed. Before the special could connect, four portals of Darkness opened at once! One took the Heartless's special. Another took the Nobody's special, who tried using it in a sneak attack. The remaining portals unleashed the specials... on each other! The specials were redirected, not blocked, so they had no choice but to take their own attacks!
"How pitiful, but I can't say I'm sorry..." The Seeker of Darkness laughed with mad glee. "In fact... I WAS HOPING YOU'D DO THIS!"
Tossing the Nobody aside with a gesture, he grabbed the front of Morpheus's Heartless! Then, as fast as Darkness, he slammed it into the floor, punched him on the rebound, teleported, kicked him upwards, then teleported again to finish it with an ax kick to the floor! He picked the Boss Heartless up again by its front.
"Because now, we get to have some FUN!"
In contrast to Straixala and Morphues' Nobody, the fight between the Heartless was far more reckless. It became a slugfest, both powers uncaring about the hits they were taking and giving. Morpheus attacked with the crushing weight of Nightmares. The Seeker of Darkness converted the pain of the hit into a Spear and skewered them back. The Seeker of Darkness unleashed a tidal wave of Ambition. Morpheus walked through unphased, the Dream Energy acting as the Ultimate Sword and Shield.
However, for all that Morpheus's Heartless was powerful and invincible, the Seeker of Darkness retained his mind. With some trickery, the Boss Heartless soon found himself pined against The WALL. When they realized their error, it was too late!
The Seeker of Darkness, converting all of the pain he received into power, proceeded to beat the Dream Energy off of him with a furious volley of blows! Fist after fist impacted the energy. It deformed and continued to deform, for the hits wreathed in Darkness did not give it time to reform to its natural state. When the bulges were shaped just right, even more punches came in to break it off, grabbing them and collecting them for the Seeker of Darkness' own twisted ideas.
All of this, punctuated by a single repeated battle cry.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"
Soon, drained of his own Dream Energy, Morpheus's Heartless slumped to the floor in defeat. Alastair by now had broken free from the Mega shadows, but it was too late.
The Seeker of Darkness had already transformed from a mere Heartless into something more. A being like Vanitas, who could summon endless tides of Unversed from their emotions. A being who could only be killed by a being of Pure Light.
"Well now... brother." The Seeker of Darkness sneered. "Are you ready to face your ultimate destiny? To fuse with me... and form the X-BLADE!?"

Actions 1, 2, and 3: The box does a quick floating victory lap around the Wall. Onlookers can almost hear the legions of celebrating marching bands that may or may not be inside of it at any given point. It did a thing. It is now immortalized in DefTG as "The Black Box did a thing". Its life is complete. It could quit now and be completely happy. Someone should create a statue of this moment... except it was a failed attack... maybe not the statue then... just stick with the "The Black Box did a thing," thing.
Anyways, the writer is done writing a victory lap, the black box opens up with as much grandeur as it can muster. Confetti explodes out, trumpets blare, a few flashing lights for good measure. And finally, a party hat floats down out of the box. Ooh yay, another inanimate object the writer must magic into something... how about an alien... that sounds fun...
The bottom of the hat grows a small disk that leaves the inside open, and a short antenna type thing pops out of this opening. A small glass disc reveals itself in the front of the hat. Behind the glass is a small, blue tentacle-ish creature. A minuscule microphone pops into view in front of the alien. "Pathetic HUMANS! Why aren't you completing the tasks IN ORDER!" The alien seems to press a small button in the party hat. A laser with a tractor symbol pops out of the hat's disc. "Really? What is even so difficult about riding a minecart!?" The alien points the beam at the cart and fires. A beam of light rolls forwards and covers the minecart in light. The party hat just rises slightly higher, moving the minecart with it. "What is the challenge?! Are there scary jumps? Lack of momentum? Dangerous traps?" The party hat moves along above the path that the rails take. It goes as far as its able. Then, randomly, the black box phases out of... somewhere, and eats the UFO party hat.
Seeing as the Dice Mines are a thing, I break out my trusty enchanted diamond pickaxe and get mining!
I decide to attack Piono and Ender:
1. I summon a monster truck and hop inside
2. I add two machine guns associated with two missile launchers on it.
3.I make so that my monster truck is on fire but isn't damaged by fire
DM: Bring it on !
I Join this game by Falling from the sky
oh and also because i joined this forum just so i can play this game.
After falling from the sky i proceed to Leeroy Jenkins into the Pit.
I'll keep assisting with the mine town by working on getting all the equipment distribution to the miners. (3 CP)
The Heir walks over to his corner of the arena. As he does so, the half that was out luck boosting comes over, and recombines, and their hoodie regains the natural duality it had had before. As he stands there, he looks to the one known as Piono. "I do not think I need a handicap for a training bout. If we were going all in with this fight, I might, as I have seen your full abilities before reaching here. You are... impressive, to say the least. But we are just doing basic training, so we need not worry about overwhelming anyone. Besides," green and purple flames flicker around him in a tight aura, with small lightning flowing all around him, "I don't think I am exactly helpless here either."
With that, he begins to walk forwards, his energy flickering in and out of view. His hoodie flaps dramatically behind him as flickers of green and purple begin to intensify. He pulls out a single sword as he walks forwards, and then pulls out a wooden one. "Do you want to use one of your own, or would you prefer this one? Mine is dulled for this little sparring match, and this one strengthened to not shatter, but it is your choice." and then he tosses the wooden one over to Piono. Whether Piono picks it up or not is irrelevant.
He suddenly vanishes in a red blur. Then, he appears behind Piono, stabbing quickly at him, green fire bursting around the blade as he does so. Then he zips around again, taking another stab, this time consumed in purple flame. He then stops a good distance away from Piono. Before Piono decides whether to dodge, or charge, or whatever, He raises a hand, and a beam of pure green fire blasts out at him. This is followed up by another beam, this time purple, staying on target. This is followed up by a sudden teleport to directly beside Piono, swinging his sword in the process. A barrage of slashes follows, each slice moving too fast for an outside observer to follow. He then kicks at Piono, sending him into a wall. Or at least, he would. The Heir has instead rushed behind Piono, and made a Nether Portal. Somehow, it goes to a closed off instance of the Nether which only connects to the inside of this sphere, and Piono was launched straight through a lava flow or two. One would think that Piono would get a break then, but at that instant, a breeze rushes in, and coalesces into the Heir once more. He pulls out his weapon, which has somehow taken the form of a hammer, and slams Piono downwards into the lava below. He then drinks a Fire Protection Potion with a ridiculous level, and duration, before rushing after Piono. His weapon morphs into a sword once more, and the Heir continues where he left off, slashing at Piono at incredible speeds. As the lava flows round them, green and purple flames envelop the Heir, and he rushes at Piono, putting way his sword for a second. He begins beating Piono up with his bare hands, uppercutting Piono skywards out off the lava, only to then appear in Piono's path, launching him into another lava flow. Then, he grabs Piono by the shirt, before swinging him through the Nether Portal, noting that he managed all that without leaving the cylinder the Arena's area takes up within the normal dimension scaled to here. He then swiftly follows through the Portal.
As he rushes through the Portal, he knows the odds are that Piono would try a sneak attack, but Piono will find that the Heir is less than visible as he exits the Portal to continue the assault. As soon as he locates Piono, he pulls out his weapon, which now apparently has turned into a bow, and begins firing arrow after arrow at Piono, letting him deal with that. Before Piono can rest, a pillar of purple and green fire swirls beside him, and the Heir bursts through it, wielding a chain mace of ridiculous proportions in his hand. He takes a swing, and the mace flicks around, aimed at Piono's face. This is followed by a pretty fast knee to the gut, with a kick in the side following it up. As he rushes around, green and purple flames begin to trail him, and he pulls back out his sword, taking a stab at Piono's arm. The flames continue to flicker as he continues to clash with Piono. Shockwaves kick up mountains of dust, as he continues swinging, and Piono (presumably), replies in kind. They end up moving all around the arena, never staying in the same space for units of time which the human mind can process usually. All the while, the lines of purple and green grow more absurd in their scope, showing a detailed map of where the Heir has been going during this fight.
Then, the Heir stands still for a few moments. As soon as Piono makes any type of move to capitalize, the arena bursts with flames, as the after images become less insubstantial. The flames all snake together to form the shape of a dragon of significantly impressive proportions. The heir then appears out at the top of the dragon, and then says, "Do you like it? It is a simple trick, but I figured it might make things a bit more… interesting." He then sinks back into the shape, before it slightly… crystalizes, almost, into a full dragon made of those flames.
The Dragon roars, and then charges straight at Piono, with a blast of its fire shooting out before it. It then proceeds to slash out at Piono, with paws a bit larger than Piono's whole body. It then beats its wings, and takes off into the air, as if to challenge Piono to have the bravery to follow. Presuming Piono follows, the Dragon then flies straight at him, trying to bite at him with giant teeth. Following this, it breathes out an enormous gout of fire at him, before slamming him with its tail in a quick spin. It then follows him back down to the ground. It tears off sections off the floor to slam into Piono, and then, another portal appears as it rushes Piono through it.
Now Piono and the Dragon are in a small facsimile of the End dimension made for this battle. The Dragon then tosses Piono forwards into a giant column of obsidian. The column collapses onto him, and as he begins to pull himself out of the rubble, the Dragon bears down on him, stomping onto him with one of its paws. It then shoots out some more flames, but these are different. As they reach him, they make chains which attach to the other columns. Knowing Piono, these chains might hold him for a half of a second, since they inhibit teleportation, but the Dragon just needed that long. As Piono shakes free of the chains, a barrage of crystals of a similar type to the ones the Dragon itself appears to be made of try to stab into Piono, and he feels an impressive flame from them, even if he avoided a stab.
Then, the Dragon rushes at him, with the crystals continuing to whirl around him, and uses them to shove Piono through another portal back to the arena.
There, Piono finds more crystals spiraling around. As he gets his bearings, the Dragon bursts through the portal he just got shoved through, and a hail of crystals whirl around to hit him. As the Dragon charges back at him, Piono finds himself under a hail of crystalline fire that dwarfs the crystal supply of some planets renowned for jewelry. Some of the crystals form an enormous broadsword in midair, and slam it downwards onto Piono, giving him quite the challenge to stop. While that occurs, the Dragon doesn't slack off, it continues its onslaught, launching slashes and bursts of flame around it to hit Piono. Then, it all stops for a second, and without any known reason, the crystals all cease flowing towards Piono. Then, before he can begin to question why, it becomes startlingly apparent, as all the crystals are now flowing towards a single point. That point fills with energy, and suddenly, an enormous energy sphere is formed. The Dragon holds its hands over its head, and then swipes them downwards, sending the sphere at Piono. As it falls, the Dragon jumps into the sphere, and increases its size and power immensely, and then, it slams straight into Piono.
It then simply erupts, and as the crystals and energy dissipate, the Heir looks to where Piono is, and asks, "So... what do you think?"
