Side Story Cell Games Reincarnated

[Hahli Nuva]

"Does this look like Mr Smoothy's to you?"

The star was gradually getting smaller on the outside as Laservision stood in a spot, crossing his arms. Will would feel slightly less celestial energy flowing into her as time went by.

"... then again, I cannot blame you for believing in such. This place does have rather exquisite cuisine."

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill

Will folded her arms under her chest, eyeing Ben.

"I know you're gaining power from this. Your levels are skyrocketing. That's fine with me, of course. You're going to need every drop of energy. That being said, this blue sun is going to be a problem, so I hope you don't mind if I turn it red..."

In an impressive display of cosmic power, Will gathered some of her Quintessence and fired a bolt of lightning at the surface of the star. The energies pumping into Ben would weaken and he would find his powers start to wane.

"I've been studying your alien form's history this entire fight, Ben. Kryptonians have a history of weakness to Red Sunlight, do they not?"

@Crow @BenVSWill

 

[Crow]

"Stiles"

The nogitsune looked over at the girl and knew that she was most likely a formidable opponent and he was sure to make sure of that. " I'm ready to start whenever you are," he said, walking down to the stage. If she followed or arrived and was ready, he would cast the illusion of the forest to block out the audience, but left an opening for Cell. " So, how do you feel about riddles?" He asked.

@Crow @VsKusnoki

"I had a bad feeling about this, but now I have a very bad feeling about this."

Asuha simply reveals her lance as an illusionary forest was casted among them.

"Not a big fan of them... ahaha... I- I'm ready when you are!"

@Lucky @AsuhaVSStiles

Meanwhile, in the peanut gallery, Asuha's seniors watched in shock.

"The neeeeerve of that guy! That's the same trick he used on the big nanomachine America man!" Fuuran shouts in her usual delinquent-like manner.

"It appears that this... uh..." Itsuki looks at Mason for a bit, then back at the forest zone. "... Stiles person is veiling his tactics so that no one can predict him for later fights. You have seen what he can do, its aftereffects anyways. If he can break someone like that, then..."

"Hey, what's with that empty slot over there? Wasn't the alien guy supposed to be there?"

"I think they flew into space."

"Yeah, of course the alien guy flew into space."

@Alex Azure @Takumi @PeanutGallery​

Will folded her arms under her chest, eyeing Ben.

"I know you're gaining power from this. Your levels are skyrocketing. That's fine with me, of course. You're going to need every drop of energy. That being said, this blue sun is going to be a problem, so I hope you don't mind if I turn it red..."

@Crow @BenVSWill

"How- how did you find out? That cannot be possible..." Laservision says as he was weakened, tossing himself out of the sun and falling towards one of the lifeless planets that the once-blue sun had around its orbit. This one had a pretty toxic atmosphere. He quickly switches to his next form before he could succumb to the toxicity of the environment.

"Teeeeerraaaaaspiiiin."

Terraspin was most nonchalant with the environment as he waited for Will to land. The tortugan life form stood in a combat stance.

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Lucky]

Void Stiles

"I had a bad feeling about this, but now I have a very bad feeling about this."

The nogitsune stared at her and with a swift movement, it dropped its Stiles disguise.



"
He preferred to fight in this form and nobody would know in this illusion what he truly was.

" I prefer riddles to fighting. Fighting is just so savage, but since you prefer fighting, I'll be nice. Two riddles only, three guesses a piece, you get it right, I'll let you hit me. You get it wrong, well, I hit you. A battle of wits and force. Seems fair to you. However, if you don't want to do that, I'll fight you straight, no bars holding back. I prefer the riddles.

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will descended from the coulds like a divine angel, lighting and fire enveloping her body in an aura of power.

"Xing Jin. Can you scan this one, too?"

"I have scanned his entire alien catalog, Will. That being said, I do have some... issues with how you're dealing with your opponent."

"What's wrong?"

"Ben isn't like Phobos or Nerissa, Will. I don't think it's' fair to have me read his weaknesses to you in a fair and balanced competition of skill."

"Don't sugarcoat it, Xing Jin. Tell me the truth."

"You want the truth? Very well. I am not going to help you cheat in order to defeat your enemies."

"How is it cheating? I'm using my abilities, aren't I?"

"No. Ben and the other fighters don't know I exist, Will. Had they did, you would never have figured out Ben's Kryptonian weakness, and likewise would still be fighting his 'Laservision' form."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning that from now on, you'll have to fight on your own. I'm sorry for sounding so callous, but please understand that this has to be a true victory. It's bittersweet if I just give you the answers to every foe. Forgive me, Keeper. But from now on I am a spectator."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Will landed on the surface of th eplanet, the very ground beneath her feet cracking and the air not seeming to affect her much if at all.

"Neat trick. I almost miss the handsome Kryptonian. Almost."

Will cracked her knuckles and got into her own fighting stance. "Ready to get shell shocked?"

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

"Aaaaa! It's a ghost!" Asuha takes a few steps back, weapon by her side. "Th- this is like one of those horror movies, isn't it?"

Asuha ponders.

"I can do this...

Alright, let's play your game. I'm not ready to disappoint!"

@Crow @BenVSWill

"Not ready enough."

Terraspin withdrew his head as his lower legs folded into a single fanblade-like flipper. The three flippers on his body began to rotate and spin about, preparing to ram into Will!

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Lucky]

Void Stiles

" Not at all," he replied, snapping his fingers and going back to the Stiles form, though there was something considerably off about it now.


The nogitsune waited.

" Let us begin then."

" Stiles" grinned. " I am not alive but seem so, because I dance and breathe with no legs or lungs of my own. What am I?"

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

 

[Hahli Nuva]

"Aaaaa! It's a ghost!" Asuha takes a few steps back, weapon by her side. "Th- this is like one of those horror movies, isn't it?"

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Ben slammed into Will at full force, The Keeper barely managing to contain the sheer size of his new form. Luckily, she was fast enough to block his entire body with her hands, trying not to let him cut through her magical shield. Will would have been knocked clear off her feet had she not been prepared.

Will was puched back by Ben until he stopped spinning, at which point Will flew back and launched a flurry of fireballs in his direction.

"Cowabunga, dude..."

@Crow @BenVSWill

"I would say... a flame."

@Crow @BenVSWill

Terraspin had completely devastated this magic shield, bending it, then shattering it into a million pieces as he charged forward, full throttle. When the fireballs came, he simply rotated about with his shell in contact with the ground, creating a hurricane to drain the flames and redirect them back at Will!

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Lucky]

" Stiles"

Simple was the name of the game.

Unlike Armstrong, he had a different strategy in mind.

" Correct, your hit," he replied.

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will dodged the fireballs with an acrobatic display of sheer skill, dodging and flipping over each fireball as it narrowly missed her and crashed into the scenery behind her. Clearly, Ben was trying to play to his alien powers, but Will was prepared.

The Keeper blasted off into the skies and with one wave of her hand, split the smog and gas and toxins like she was parting the Red Sea. She created a shining sun and a clear blue sky with another wave, emulating the effects of their home planet.

"Look at this, Ben. Look at the powers I have at my disposal. Wouldn't this be enough? Even if Cell does destroy the world, I can fix what he breaks. Like a Goddess with a brush..."

@Crow @BenVSWill.

 

[Crow]

" Stiles"

" Correct, your hit," he replied.

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

Asuha strikes the very air with her lance as she continues forward, with the final strike being a direct slash across Stiles' body. This final strike within a line of strikes would complete a combination of strikes, allowing a great, red aura-based Eastern dragon to be conjured, ready to slam down upon Stiles!

"My signature on turn one!"

@Crow @BenVSWill.

"You know what they say - prevention is better than cure."

Terraspin takes a jump and another spin. The tortugan lifeform continuously slashed across Will's form during flight.

"Use your power to prevent, if you must."

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Ver]

"..."

And then there was Saitama.

Standing on his stage with his arms crossed, he looked upon Mordred, holding the same lifeless face as with Lukas and before even the tournament had started at all. There was little fanfare to be had here, no flashy introduction or fancy last-minute exercises. Even with the rule change, it didn't matter all that much to the caped baldy. As far as he was concerned, it was business as usual.

"Well... Let's go, then. Shall we?"

@Gummi Bunnies​

 

[Hahli Nuva]

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will was struck just as she raised her hands to block and was sent tumbling back down to the planet, striking the ground with a massive crash and forming a large crater.

Annoyed, The Keeper used The heart to slash the air, creating a small portal which she quickly slipped into, only for a portal to appear above Ben's new form and bring her foot down against his shell, charged with Quintessence, hopefully resulting in a thunderous boom as she landed a literal lightning kick to Ben's back.

"Then I'll prevent you from moving up the bracket. How's that sound?"

@Crow @BenVS.Will

 

[Lucky]

"Stiles"

The nogitsune had planned this earlier with Armstrong, but the man was much too stupid to figure out his riddles, so he had to do something such as driving him made. He didn't let the final strike to attack. He had promised her that she would get a hit, but he had never promised that he would let it connect though.

He had teleported before the strike or dragon could hit. " Such a nice signature to know about it," he replied from behind her.

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

 

[Kaykay]

"So it's you again. Guess that little spar will pay off then, huh?"

Shiori walked onto the arena for her and Specter Knight, her body seeming completely relaxed. Resting one hand on her hip, she raised the other to beckon her opponent over. The gravity in the chamber hadn't really affected her, but perhaps the normal gravity would aid the knight in some way. So might as well let him show what he had.

"Let's do it then. You wanna go first?"

@CrunchyCHEEZIT​

@Crow @BenVS.Will

"I don't think so."

Terraspin's shell seemed to disperse the charged Quintessence upon contact, weakening Will's kick while blocking her electrifying kick with strong winds. The shell helped with protecting against any remaining lightning.

His next move was another few slashes and charges at Will as he flew about the area!

"What the- did you-"

Asuha was surprised by such.

"I see how it is," Asuha utters, withdrawing her lance and revealing a sword, "let's see the next question."

Will smirked, blocked each and every one of Ben's strikes with ease, not even looking the least bit spent while doing it.

@Lucky @AsuhaVSStiles​

Will blocked each and every one of Ben's strikes easily, not even looking the least bit winded. The Keeper chose another tactic and summoned twin Ice Katana, twirling them in her hands before launching a flurry of sfiwt, deadly slashes much too fast for the normal human eye to see.

"I could do this all day, Ben. You're just prolonging the inevitable!"

@Crow @BenVSWill

@Crow @BenVSWill

Slash marks appear on the tortugan lifeform's shell as he was thrown back into the ground. Yet another flash of green light surrounded him in the created crater.

"Thanks for the Feedback. I'll take it into account."

Feedback, as this form was apparently called, ran about, jumping up and about the mountains and hills.

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Lucky]

"Stiles"

The Nogitsune had expected that reaction.

This was the beauty of the illusion, nobody knew what he could do.

" I am a man of a word, I never promised it would connect. Next riddle it is. It cannot be seen, it cannot be felt,Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, Lies behind stars and under hills,and empty holes it fills. Comes first follows after,Ends life kills laughter."

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will chuckled and followed, katanas in hand. Wherever Ben went, she would follow.

"Ben is constantly changing to the combat situation, Keeper. You may not be able to copy his abilities, but you are able to use the very elements around you. Keep pace with Ben and do not give him an opening."

"He wouldn't GET any openings if you would help me."

"That would defeat the purpose of this entire battle, Will. Ben is not an evil villain trying to destroy the universe. He is a lot like you, actually."

"Right. Because his fancy alien watch is a magical jewel that lets you control the cosmos and makes you invincible."

"It's not the trinkets that make the hero, Will. You know this."

"Will you at least help me with Cell?"

"Should we prevail, then yes. Cell is a diferent matter."

"I still think this would be over quicker if you'd just tell me his weaknesses."

"If you were as skilled as you like to brag, then you wouldn't need me to tell you how to deal with Ben."

"That's a low blow, Xing."

"I only tell you this because I care about you, Will. I know you can do better."

"Hm. Right. Well, Ben's switched forms. Wonder what this one does."

@Crow @BenVSWill
