Side Story Cell Games Reincarnated

"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."

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

"Before life, after death, it's an absence, an absence of something... something bright..."

Asuha ponders as she brandished her blade with a smile.

"... darkness."

@Lucky @AsuhaVSStiles
​

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

The lanky, jumpy form was swift to evade. At one point, when she got close, he used his head tendrils to cling onto her legs, ready to swing her about and away!

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will was just as fast, and quickly used one of her katana to slash at Ben's tendril, while shifting the other blade into an Ice Spear and hurl it at his exposed body.

"Hey! This ain't that kinda fight, buddy!"

@Crow @BenVSWill

"The who to the what now- AGH!"

Feedback was pushed back even as he caught the other blade with his hands, his tendrils releasing Will's legs. As he rolled across the ground, he starts his offense off by firing electrical blasts at Will from the tips of his fingers!

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Lucky]

"Stiles"

The Nogitsune once again felt that he had picked an easy riddle for a younger girl though.

The creature looked over at her with a smile and nodded to confirm.

" Your hit now."

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will quickly rolled into a defensive stance before realizing the projectiles were electricity. Instead, she shifted stances and simply held up her hand in a 'Stop' motion, causing all the bolts to freeze mid flight and drop to the ground harmlessley.

"Really? You're gonna shoot LIGHTNING at the LIGHTNING GOD?"

"To be fair, it'd be one of the rare mistakes he's made, Keeper."

"Shh! I'm trying to sound intimidating!"

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

Asuha charges forward to unleash a combination of slashes. Any slash after the first had a chance of inflicting stun upon the opponent. After the final slash, whether it had hit or not, the field changed. It began to flood and smell like seawater, and the illusionary forest area began to shrivel into nothingness.

Asuha conjured some kind of float as she stood on it, sword out and ready to slash. This float was bent on homing into Stiles' position as it maneuveured about the waters.

@Crow @BenVSWill

"Yes. Yes I am."

Feedback keeps his signature grin as he says this.

Just then, something was felt on the planet, whatever it was, it seemed to create a great fissure between the areas where Will & Feedback stood, as well as throw Feedback off.

"Woa- woa- woah! Sounds like we're not the only ones on this planet. Or it's just an Earthquake."

Looking down the fissure would allow one to see the other side of the sky.

"Achoo!"

"Fuuran, are you alright?"

"Yeah, must be the seawater."

"Where did you take us!?"

Will snapped as she flew up into the air to avoid the fissure. Just where exactly were they? Was that the sky on the other side!?

@Crow @BenVSWill

 

[Lucky]

"Stiles"

"Stiles" didn't teleport this time, using his reflex to dodge out of the way of each of the slashes and doing his best to keep up. He noticed that his forest was disappearing, but he was fine with that as he noticed that everything was going around and he had to be smart in his plans. Pain, chaos and strife were what he needed.

The Nogitsune looked over at her and teleported to the side of her and made sure to reflex himself out of the way and remain on the float if he could. He wondered what would happen now that he was on it.

@Crow @BenVSWill

"Hey, don't look at me, I just picked a random Star System!"

Just then, someone ran towards them at extreme speeds - a young girl, it seems?

"KIIIIIIIIIIII-"

"OK, how did she get here?"

"HEEEEY, LET'S PLAAAAY!"​

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

Asuha takes a great jump, causing the float to flip about its centre of gravity to throw Stiles into the waters, controlling the float the same way one would control a skateboard.

If he somehow managed to stay on as she jumped back on, she would prepare to repeatedly slash at him as the float maneuveured about the waters, engaging in combat as they surfed.

"You're a bag of tricks, but how many tricks can you pull before I know them all?"

@Lucky @AsuhaVSStiles​

Will's eye twitched as she watched the litle girl run amok around the planet. "What the-HEY!"

"Keeper, Ben is telling the truth."

"We can't fight with that little girl here! She'll be hurt!"

"I can't seem to read her vitals. It's like she's more of an object than a person."

"So what, she's a walking obstacle?"

"Not exactly. Try and work with Ben to figure this out."

"Great..."

@Crow @BenVSWill

 

[Lucky]

" Stiles"

Stiles did a teleport as she did the flip and would teleport back once the flip was over. He knew that she was going to expect him to use all of his tricks, but he hadn't even used a fraction of them.

He would use his enhanced reflexes to dodge out of the way and to make sure that everything was going fine and he looked over at her with a smirk as he looked at her before he dared to speak while dodging

" Here's the thing with me. My tricks are ever changing and not constant at all," he replied, summoning flies that seemed to fly towards her ears. What harm could this do?

"She says she wants to play. I left my copy Sumo Slammers 4 back at home, unfortunately," Feedback shrugs.

"I have an even better game!" the girl laughs, then turns to Will. "Hey! Hey! You wanna play?!"

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

"So are mine," Asuha says.

There were two ways to go about this next trick. Asuha decides to go about this particular path as her float dematerializes and she falls into the seawaters to avoid the flies going into any part of her body.

She begins to swing her sword towards Stiles' location. Asuha herself seemed to be a little faster in the waters than she was on land, as if she had an affinity with it. She herself didn't seem to realise this.

Will rose an eyebrow, gently landing on the ground and placing her hands on her hips.

"Look, I don't have time to play, okay? Me and my friend here are....talking."

"Must be a very destructive conversation."

"Not helping, Xing Jin."

"You know, you and Ben would make a great couple."

"W-What!? NO! He's like, fifteen!"

"You humans are so finicky about age..."

"Not helping!"

Will then turned her gaze to Ben. She fixed him with a 'What the hell did you do?' look. Clearly, she was at a loss for words.

@Crow @BenvsWill

 

[Lucky]

"Stiles"

The nogitsune wished he had said more than two riddles.

He growled, annoyed that once again his flies sucked at their goddamn one job and he took a deep breath before disappearing himself before she could attack him, teleporting to just above the water before he casted a second illusion.

He made this particular illusion to look more like a high school than anything else and once he had finished it, he would lean on a desk, dodging out of the way of the sword in case the illusion didn't hold against the water.

"Hmmm, if she won't, then I might have a way that you can join in," Feedback suggests to the girl.

"Yay!"

"Well- waitwhat? WOOOOAAAAAH!"

The girl smacked Feedback with a headbutt, sending him flying as she dashed off into the distance to pursue them.

"ARALE KICK!"

Before she could give chase to catch up to them, Will would feel herself get kicked behind with a force that was unbelievably powerful. If she turned, she would see the very same girl, except her overalls were black with green wirings all over them, as well as an Omnitrix emblem.

"Arale, was it?" the wiring on the overalls flickered as a voice akin to Ben's spoke. "As long as we're fused, you can play with her! She's leagues stronger than I am, after all! I'm sure you'll have fun!"

"Then let's do this! Come on, lady!"

@Crow @AshuavsStiles

Asuha continued to slash at him as he continued to evade, but she had a surprise attack coming as she took a capsule out and unleashed it, causing it instantly turn into a large hammer that smacked right into Stiles to push him back! All this done with great agility and reflexes that were preparing to match Stiles' in this aquatic environment that the school-based illusion ended up materialising itself into. Asuha was more than overcoming water resistance.

She continued to slash at him as she dashed forward...

@Lucky @AsuhaVSStiles​

 

[Lucky]

" Stiles"

" Stiles" was hit by the giant hammer, but was careful to teleport after it, just in the nick of time, knowing that they were evenly matched which meant killing us wasn't possible, but it was certainly possible to push her out of the ring and he had an idea on how he could, remembering where the stage ended and making sure he was still on the stage as he did something drastic that would hopefully be the other girl's undoing and get him to win his match after all to be smart.

She continued to slash at him as she dashed forward...

He parkoured onto the nearest desk at the very last second to avoid the dashing slash, hoping she would stumble out of the arena.

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

Will growled as she picked herself up off the ground. Getting caught off guard was no fun. And now it seemed this was a handicap match.

"Two on one, huh? So this was your plan all along. Pretty low, Ben."

"Calm yourself, Will. We can handle them."

"So NOW you're going to help me?"

"I'll do what I can. This Arale isn't from any universe I've seen. But her powers rival even your own. So watch your back."

"Is this even fair? Ben can't use outside help!"

"We aren't on Earth anymore, Will. Anything goes here. And given the circumstances, you're going to need all the help you can get."

"Right. So what's the plan?"

"Don't rush in. Study Arale and Ben and see how they fight. If we learn, we might be able to shut them down early before they can build any momentum. "

Asuha, feeling that something was off as she tripped but regained her balance, taking a few rolls back into the supposed inner area of the ring and stabbing her sword into the ground.

"This is Fuuran-senpai's signature. Feel its power!"

The entire water-based environment began to bubble and heat up as Asuha stands in one position. The entire seabed-turned-school setting was transforming into magma, and the school setting illusion melted from the heat.

As a start, the boiling seas took action, gushing out to the surface with anything that swam or stood in it as a great pillar of water filled the air above the arena. Following that, great pillars of burning flames rose up, no longer oppressed by the waters, filling the entirety of the arena!

Asuha stood in the middle this whole time, unaffected by her own attack, panting, and her clothes moist as steam filled the area.

"Upgrade's all about improvising the environment, Will. The moment we stepped out of Earth's atmosphere, that's when we got more environment to improvise. Truth be told, I didn't even realise I would be using Upgrade in this tourney at all. Save for maybe against Armstrong or Aigis, but those guys are out."

Upgraded Arale generates vacuum cleaners from her back and sucks air into her mouth. Will could feel the planet's atmosphere thinning, disappearing fast as time went by.

"Arale..."
"Arale..."

@Hahli Nuva @BenVSWill​

 

[Lucky]

" Stiles"

The Nogitsune wondered how many more tricks she had up her sleeve and he wondered if there was a way he could win this fight without getting burned or getting hurt in the process.

"Stiles" knew that as soon as she mentioned it that it was going to be powerful.

He knew that he had a power move to make and he had never tried this before, but desperate times called for desperate measures. The Nogitsune teleported into the air and then followed it up by summoning the flies again.

However, unlike before, he had summoned a small army as they and used them as skin akin to a hoverboard in which he would guide them around the flames at each moment, making sure to dodge the flames on his body and summon more flies as he would lose the ones lost to the fire.

" I have the high ground, Ashua, it would seem," he said. It was definitely a Stiles thing to say as he had been known to watch Star Wars.

Will thanked Xing Jin for coating her organs and other parts in Quintessence to stop her body from collapsing into itself .

"Never took you for the coward type, Ben. I'm disappointed."

The Keeper conjured up Quintessence in her palm, the magic flickering inand out of her hands.
