Mass Destruction [Elrick/Open]

[Lagunamov]

Every Day's Great at Your Olympus Coliseum~

Well, that was a weird reaction. Axel allowed Elrick to hit him with all his strength right in the middle of his chest, flinching at the pain from the blow. Of course, he had dodged the sword instants before, but it was still something that caught him off guard. It was also surprising that despite his physical appearance, he had barely moved back, simply lowering his stance and moving his disc weapons a bit. He, however, seemed to be relatively tired. It was a relief to know that even creatures not meant to exist in the first place still suffered from such mortal ailments such as fatigue.

“Yeah, sure,” he stood up properly, tying the sheath to the side of his waist, even if the sword was still missing. “There’s not much more room to up the ante before we start killing each other anyway,” he joked, moving to his side and past him. He carelessly made his way around the arena, moving right through the middle of the other fight that was taking place as if it weren’t even there, and reached the stands. After climbing up the first two or three steps, he looked at his sword right in front of him. After not hitting the scarecrow it had continued its path all the way over there, and impaled itself on the stands.

“Good thing he dodged. And it wasn’t even all the way,” he thought to himself, noticing how half the blade was not visible. Either way, he pulled it out after a minute of struggling with it – and almost falling back when it suddenly detached from the stands – and sat down, motioning Axel to get out of the arena and onto the spectators’ seats. “Come on, lets enjoy our friends’ show until they get tired too,” he commented as he leaned forward, his hands on the hilt of his sword as if it were a cane. He rested his chin on top of them, thinking for a moment. “You know if the lobby here sells food or something?”

Sorry, I Can't Afford Grilled Steak

It was true. Had they continued their little sparring match, it would have quickly escalated into killing within the next few seconds. And since there was no need for killing here, there was no point in continuing to exchange blows. Spectating the fight that was still happening, though, sounded fun.

Axel plopped down next to Elrick in the stands and watched Ava fight that new girl that had shown up. It was a bit refreshing seeing two non-cloaked people fight. That made thoughts about ditching the Organization cloak skitter across his mind again. Maybe he should. They weren't going to take him back, even if he wanted to rejoin. And besides, dressing in all black got depressing after a while. Well, as depressing as things could be for a Nobody, anyway.

Friends, huh?

"I have no idea, honestly. This is the first time I've been here." Of course, his default response to anyone asking about food was to offer sea-salt ice cream. But he doubted there was any of that here. He was aware of it being available only in Twilight Town. And Radiant Garden.

I'm gonna have to go back there, eventually. Can't keep avoiding it.

"But if you want to go back in there and deal with the goat guy..." He chuckled. There was no way the Flame was asking the satyr anything. That was a headache he wasn't willing to endure.

Ava slashed his blades at each of the energy bullets, deflecting most of the shots, but taking quite a few of them in impact. "Trading blows is no good. No good at all!" Ava cried as he charged forward, wading through the multitude of shots fired upon him and sprinting to where the girl was shooting him from. It was only a matter of taking the hits and dealing out more damage than her now.

As he approached, Ava ducked down quickly and stabbed forward, hopefully catching her in the stomach. As soon as he either achieved impact or she avoided the blow and made to move, Ava dodged to the side, slashing with his other weapon and moving into a speedy flurry of blows that she wouldn't make it out of without a few bruises if she turned and ran. He was close to drawing his real weapons and ending this fight.

"Why run when I'll just chase you down and get you anyways?" It sucks the fun out of it, he thought to himself, a slight frown showing itself on his features. The creature of Chaos mentally shrugged and continued his onslaught, trying to disarm the girl in the middle, aiming each sword for a wrist and swinging with all his might. He wanted to hear the resonating smack, feel the slam of his swords against her. He wanted that rush. And if he didn't get it, he was tempted to try just a little harder.

[Fate]

Let's End This, All Right?

Well, that didn't work. Shoot.

Lillian kept up her firing, but that Heartless just took the hits and came at her anyway. She kept her aim on him while he closed in, having a faint hope that if she kept up her shooting and kept hitting him, he would back off. It wasn't really rational thinking, but it would have to do for now. Unfortunately, that hopeful thinking didn't work out too well when the Heartless tried to stab her in the stomach. She made a motion to dodge and successfully got out of the way of that, but the Heartless wasn't finished with her and almost expected her to do that. This wasn't going to turn out well.

The creature gave her a flurry of blows after her dodge. She managed to not get hit by a couple of them, but that was about it. The rest of them made contact when she tried to make a run for it. Tomorrow was going to suck now; she was going to be feeling all of this. Great. She kept up her quick onslaught on the Heartless, but it didn't seem to be backing off. She hated to admit it, but this would probably be a fight that she couldn't win. It was quick and it was taking her blows a lot better than anything else she had fought before.

Heartless thing seemed to change where it was attacking in particular, now aiming for her wrists as she kept trying to shoot at it. Close-range wasn't her area of expertise and this thing had her cornered. It was trying to disarm her by aiming for her wrists; since she wasn't wearing any protection on those wrists, that wouldn't be hard to do. Her guns were flung elsewhere as the swords made contact. She figured that she probably could have done something to prevent that from happening, but it would have just made the fight go on longer.

"All right, you've got me," she said, "We can stop now." Anorexic redhead and Elrick had stopped now anyway and were just watching; she didn't need to continue.

Not much ado at all. Not at all.

Ava's swords dissipated, turning into a liquid and flowing back into his chest-hole. "Okay," he said, turning to the stands and running up them a little bit and sitting. He really didn't have all that much to do, now, so he turned to look up at Axel and the other guy. "What are we gonna do now?" he asked them, as if expecting them to provide him with entertainment.

Of course, he could still feel that burning in the back of his mind, that feeling that let him know where Axel was at all times. It was kinda hard to sleep sometimes with the burning there like that, but he had grown more used to it than when he first had gotten it. Not that it wasn't a little annoying having the burning there in his head.

Ava lay back a little and watched the others. Maybe one of them would do something so that the person on the other side of the fourth wall would have something more to write? Who knew?

I’m regretting giving that soda and takoyaki to that girl in the park. Now I’m out of snacks.

Still pondering from the sidelines as he observed Lillian’s fight with… whatever the freaking flying hell Ava was supposed to be, it was hard not to wonder why such a coliseum as this had no evident place to even grab a goddamned snack. Did they just allow people to bring food from home to the games, or random people set up business at the door whenever a big event was happening? "You think a half goat, half human creature tastes good after grilling it?" The thought slip his tongue and accidentally asked Axel aloud.

It was weird seeing Lillian fight whatever Ava was. Despite Elrick’s hatred of guns, he couldn’t help but secretly cheer on for her, if only because Ava ticked his ‘thing needs to be killed, maimed, destroyed, and strapped on a table for examination, all in that order´ senses. More so than even Axel. But the anorexic red-haired was easier to deal with, at least he looked like a regular human if you didn’t count his waist-shoulder proportions. Unfortunately, it seemed his travel partner was having difficulties dealing with that thing, eventually prompting her to call the fight to an end. Quite possibly in order to keep her head attached to the rest of her body.

“I wouldn’t mind if you went off to fetch us some food,” his mind was still on the same damn track as minutes before, answering with almost an order when the creature asked them what they were going to do next. Of course, killing it was not an option, first because it still hadn’t attacked him, and second and more importantly, because it was at the very least an acquaintance of Axel, and that would have been just rude.

From Now On, Always Carry a Matching Persona

The other fight didn't last much longer, either. Ava quickly made it obvious that, with his superior speed, he could easily kill the girl with the guns. This prompted her to surrender and end that little bout. Now that no more fighting was going on, Ava turned toward them, looking for something to do. It was clear from the tone of his voice that he was bored now, and Axel couldn't help but share the sentiment. There wasn't much else of interest here unless you were fighting. It was time to move on. To where, he had no idea.

Elrick's comment about frying up the goat guy elicited a laugh from the Flame. "I'd be more than willing to help with that if you're that desperate for food." Of course, using his method, the goat-man might very well end up inedible cinders rather than anything remotely resembling a snack.

With a bored yawn, Axel stood and ran a hand beneath his shock of red hair to adjust his hood back into the middle of his shoulders. "Well, it certainly has been interesting, Elrick. Thanks for the fight. Needed that." He passed on acknowledging the girl and instead looked to Ava. "Hey. Try not to follow me around. At least not everywhere, okay?" With that, a Corridor of Darkness enveloped him.

[Fate]

Okay, I'm Leaving Now. Please Don't Stalk Me.

To her surprise, the Heartless stopped attacking and its swords disappeared into its chest hole, which was sort of gross. Well, at least it wasn't going to try and kill her anymore. She went and picked up her guns, putting them in their proper holsters before walking over to the rest of the group. Elrick wanted food and Anorexic Guy almost seemed ready to help burn the goat. Then that very red-head disappeared into some dark portal thing after telling the Heartless to not follow him, making Lillian raise an eyebrow. How was that even possible? It was probably better that she didn't bother asking in this case.

"And no following us either," she told the Heartless, "I've already got something hiding on my ship and I really don't need something else." Oops, she probably shouldn't have said that. Now she probably gave the creature ideas and she was going to get another stalker. Well, at least Elrick knew why she had been hiding out on his ship now and had been so off lately. She wouldn't push his hospitality anymore though and would fly her own ship.

"Anyway, we should probably get something to eat and get out of here," she said to Elrick, "But you're probably a much better cook than I am. Trust me on that one, okay?" Yeah, that wasn't something she had time to learn when she was a pilot and not something she wanted to learn right now when they were both hungry. "Goodbye weird Heartless... thing." She took her leave and started walking back to the ships and get the heck out of here; no more talking Heartless and no more anorexic red-heads for a while.
