Like most fights, there was such hype and much excitement to be had, but nothing could prepare the spectators for another fight that was about to occur before their eyes this day.

A samurai girl; taking on an angel, in this very arena. Apparently either YHVH was either out with the flu or the girl just wanted to take on a specific angel in particular.

The audience would begin entering the stadium in droves, some with snacks to eat, some with beverages to drink. The Gerudo who were in the audience as well were in the stands and were maintaining the security of the arena, they were far more cometant than most because they were capable of actually attacking on sight, though it would be to defend the arena from unsavory characters.

As for the samurai girl, she was sitting in 'the' position, waiting for her opponent and a referee.

Down through a parting in the clouds came a bird? A plane? A boy? An Angel! Wings aglow, he glided down in a sweeping circle over the heads of the crowd he excitedly waved to. Upon landing, he finally took a break from grandstanding for his beloved fans, (both of them) to turn around and discover his opponent.
	“…Hold on a sec. She’s a human! And a girl!”  Pit’s face of excitement fell into one of confusion.  “Wasn’t I going to fight some fiendish guy with the powers of lucifers’ or something?” “Well, yes, that’s what the invitation said, Pit.”  The Goddess Palutena replied to him telepathically from the best seat in the house.  “However, for lack of a better term… you kept him waiting.”
	“Oh.”  Pit shrunk sheepishly.  “B-but still. Are you sure I should fight her? I mean she’s…” “…Such a pretty girl~?”  Palutena teased with a giggle. “…I was going to say she’s a Human.”  Pit corrected with a pout. “And what’s wrong with that? You used to be just fine Brawling with humans.”  Palutena shrugged, unable to understand Pit’s reluctance. “Yeah… but things were different back then. We’re on Li now.” Pit tried to explain. “In the Sunshine Stadium. What’s the difference?”  Palutena counterpointed.
	“Huh… I didn’t even think of it that way…”  Pit pondered with a new perspective.  “…Well in That case, the Fight Is On!”  Pit decided, with a new enthusiasm for battle.  “And I dedicate this bout to Lady Palutena and all my troops in her army!”  He waved up at his Centurions watching from the side lines, who responded with cheers and chanting.  “This one’s for you guys!”

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As the combatants settled in the arena, a referee was needed to provide them service. The applause and cheers settled as the beats of a bongo echoed in the distance, becoming louder with every second. A bright twinkle caught the attention of the crowd, a figure leaping from the rim of coliseum. The source was none other than the pearly whites belonging to the Funkiest of the Kong family. “Ey mah Life Sphere bruddahs!” he announced as he descended toward the battlefield.

The guardian Gerudos adapted to a look of offense. In unison, all the soldiers in the area fixed their gaze on the invading ape and volleyed a series of spears in his direction. Before the funky monkey could so much as land, he was struck by one of the weapons, a surprised “OOO!” slipping from his lips. Within seconds, another Gerudo rocketed from the stands, tackling Funky Kong mid-air and causing them to both to crash through one of the hallways leading into the coliseum, a series of guards chasing after them to ensure that the monkey didn’t interfere with the match.

While the two combatants were no doubt fixating their attention on that previous scene, Lt Surge suddenly appeared between the two. “That was shocking” he added in a rather blasé manner.

“Now then, it’s about time the Sunshine Stadium has a real fight. These joke judges have skewered the reputation of this arena for the last time… Knowing that ape though, he’ll probably be back at some point…” the Lightning American expanded on as he rubbed his chin. He gazed upon both combatants and didn’t seem all that impressed. “Couple of babies again” he lamented. “We can work with that though. This fight should roughen you two up. I want a good clean match. No items and no outside help. And especially no toddler tactics like those ‘Final Smashes’ everyone likes to talk about. You must learn to use your basic instincts. The most skilled combatant will walk out of here with even Tunder Badges to enter my gym and I don’t let no babies into my gym. With that out of the way, you have 5 minutes to prove yourself. That starts now!” he drilled like the militant lieutenant he was.

With his speech finished, he pulled an iron from out of his pocket and pointed skyward, waiting a moment before he was whisked away into the air, allowing his Magnezone floating above the stadium to get him out of harm’s way.

The Samurai Girl, opened her eyes and stood up, then dusted herself off, She stood at roughly 5'1" in height, quite suprisingly if one compared her to Arle, though she had different eye coloration as they were hazel.

Apparently the sound of arena fanatics was too much that Funky Kong 'almost' made it into the arena, key word being almost because of the Gerudo Guards who attacked the gorilla on sight, with one even going so far as to use a tackle attack to get him out of the arena. Then the current Referee entered and explained the rules and whatnot, Sakura Shinguji took the rules to heart, but being called a baby? Really!? Oh well, she was still a greenhorn in terms of the military but that was then, this is now.

"That man kind of reminds me of my commander back where I came from." Sakura said to herself, her eyes now locked onto Pit, and drawing out her Katana. Upon the start of the match however, Sakura would strike the first blow, performing a Slash attack with enough power to clip some of his hair, and if pit wasn't careful he would also receive a cut to his ear which would indicate that his opponent would draw first blood.
STR ROLL A: 17+3=20{absurdly strong Wounding Slash @ Pit, 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}

She would then follow up with a burst of spiritual energy to further chip away at his health.
WIS ROLL: 13+4=17{wicked strong Spiritual Blast @ Pit, 5% dmg and 100% Mind Melted chance if it connects}

Then finished up with a regular Jump Slash to finish the job.
STR ROLL B: 11+3=14{decent Jump Slash @ Pit, 7% dmg if it connects}

"I hope I didn't hurt you too much, but all things considered, I will not lose. May the spirits of my ancestors guide me to victory." Sakura said as she performed some basic kendo for her appeal.
Appeal roll: 15-2=13{not bad, but could use a little bit more effort.}

	“Yeesh. The funk was up with That?” Pit winced as the Gerudo guard forcedly extracted Funky from the stadium. “Think he’s gonna be okay?” “With the amount of hit points he has in the new port, I have no doubt.” Palutena dismissed confidently. “He’ll be back to his funky self, faster than you can recite the Monkey Rap.” “So we’re finally here-” “-Please don’t recite the Monkey Rap.” Palutena insisted with a wince of her own. “Especially because He’s finally here, refereeing for you!”  She hypocritically described Lt. Surge, much to Pit’s eyeroll.
	“Babies? I’m at least over…1…2… Over 30!” Pit retorted to Surge’s comment, without recalling his own true age. “Hard to tell with that baby face of yours~” Palutena cooed teasingly. She’d go as far as to pinch his cheeks if he could. “I-I meant in human years.” A flustered Pit insisted with a pout. “Whoops, you heard the man, Pit; no outside help.” Palutena resigned upon Surge’s recitation of the rules. It was not at all angelic to disobey the rules and her providing hints would definitely count as cheating. “Good luck out there, my big brave boy~”
“Uh…Thanks I guess?” Pit tried to answer but was only met with the divine static of a severed communication. “Guess I am on my own…” No guidance, No summary of her origins, no list of her move set and no hints or strategies on the best way to take her down. “…No problem!” Pit smirked confidently as the samurai girl stood up. Standing at 5’3”, he did have two inches on her. Most of the bosses he took down were several times his size.
(z|0cCQDSp_1d20+3 Pit's Dodge of Wounding Slash)
But this opponent may have been several times his speed. For before he could make the first move she had already chopped a slice from his ear. “Shhh Ah! Hey!” Pit yelped as he gripped his ear. shrieked, gripping his ear. “I hear with that!” For a fight like this, Pit needed all of his senses to be in proper working order. Especially since Palutena’s all-seeing eyes weren’t looking out for him. In the breath between blows, Pit sensed the spiritual energy forming, preparing to strike him and he countered by drawing his Guardian Orbitars to deflect it.

And deflect they did! Sakura had to be extra agile to avoid being zapped by her own spirit energy. Preferring to start the battle off with offense instead of defence, Pit put his Orbitars away.

“AH HA HA HA! Now that is some quality entertainment, Big Top! I could watch that ape get tackled to the ground all day long! It’s about time our security team did something about that dang gorilla!”

“Seems a bit petty to hire a league of assassins to stop Funky Kong from getting in here…”

“Me!? I thought you hired them!”

“…No.”

“Huh… Anyways! As entertaining as that was, it’s time for the main attraction! It’s a tale as old as time itself! Samurai versus cupid! Can a well-disciplined soldier ever find love!? Is it even possible for a natural born killer to ever feel emotion for another human being!?”

“So, we’re not going to talk about the fact that there’s an armed militia crowding around the Stadium without our permission?”

“WOAH is the life of the soldier, Big Top! Can even the god of love restore emotion into the human spirit after they have seen the horrors of humanity!”

“…Yeah, I thought not.”

“Do not lose faith, Big Top! Perhaps the mighty cupid will strike her with his love bestowing arrow and her torment will be forever washed away!”

“…I guess we’ll have to wait and see…”

Sakura lightly gasped, mainly because Pit decided to redirect the energy blast she sent at him right back to her, thankfully she had her ability to block, which spell used to deal with the reflected Spiritual Blast.
{Sakura Shinguji bubble shields her own spiritual blast!(65-10(activation penalty-5(her own reflected Spiritual Blast)=50 shield durability remaining)}

Either way one tried to slice it, Sakura promptly proceeded to try dodging Pit's First Blade. She would try dodging the first one...
DEX ROLL A: 12-1=11{You Missed!}

Which was quite successful, then she needed to dodge the second one...
DEX ROLL B: 2-1=1{D'oh I Missed}

But even her performance in Playacting could not prevent that hit from landing. At least it didn't leave her with a Mortal Wound like her attack did on the angel, surprisingly enough, Balyhoo somehow though that Pit was a Cupid, who was often referred to as the patron deity of love, and the mascot of Valentine's day. "Your not half bad, but do you hear what that strange person up there is calling you, because he thinks you are Cupid." Sakura said with a slight giggle, actually complimenting her opponent on managing to hit her, which was not hard to do but almost certainly not easy to pull off without walking away unscathed...
Appeal roll: 16-2=14{Sakura's compliment to Pit before she makes her big play}

Speaking of which... "I guess it's time to get serious." she said calmly as she sheathed her Katana and got into a stance, and readied herself. Before anyone could blink, Sakura vanished, reappearing behind Pit, though they could hear the sound of a Slash that was revealed to have been unleashed, the katana being silently sheathed as though it was the work of a iaijutsu master. Pit wouldn't notice that alongside the slash, which did not hit him directly, some Sakura Petals fluttering down, until he would realise what he would be hit with as the following words spoken by Sakura would be the phrase that would fill anyone with a sudden sense of dread... "A thousand Cherry Blossoms, swaying in the breeze; Cherry Blossom Dance!" Those Sakura Petals would then bombard Pit with the slashes that made this attack far more brutal than anything else Sakura could dish out.
STR ROLL A: 20+3=23{CRITICAL CHERRY BLOSSOM DANCE OF PAIN! @ Pit, 20 consecutive hits of 1% dmg if it connects, 2 actions used}

Sakura would then finish with her basic Arataka slash to hopefully make herself known as someone you don't want to underestimate, especially on the battlefield.
STR ROLL B: 15+3=18{Deceptively strong Arataka slash @ Pit, 7% dmg if it connects}

[TartoonHand94]

“Yeah, yeah. I get that a lot, thanks.”  Pit rolled his eyes, still appreciating the compliment, not so much the comparison Ballyhoo gave him.  At least it’s a step up from being called Stupid.  “I don’t get why though.  I mean, besides the wings and the bow and the boyish charm,  what do he and I have in-”  Pit began to ramble.  This temporary loss off focus would soon cost him dearly.
“-Come On!”  Pit piped, suddenly snapping to attention upon realizing Sakura vanished in front of him.  That’s what you get when you ramble, Pit.  Busy people walk away.  This cupid thing did give Pit an idea—But it’d have to wait. Franticly turning about, he found Sakura behind him… “Nice haiku, but what does it-?”  Pit began to ask only to be bombarded by a hail of razor sharp cherry leaves.  “-Mean.” Pit grunted flatly.
His tunic was going to need so much stitching after this, if any of it is even left over.  Rather, if there was anything of himself left over, as Sakura wasn’t done.  As if the Cheery Blossom Dance wasn’t enough,  she finished off with an Arataka Slash that Pit was too distracted by the holes in his tunic to…  Oh what’s that word again? That technique where you try to avoid being hit?  Oh yeah.  Dodge!  Not being able to get out of the way didn’t mean he didn’t have time to Bubble Shield,  which he did. Good thing he remembered he could do that.
“You’re…Not half bad, yourself! Not half slow either.”  Pit panted a compliment from behind his Bubble Shield that he soon lowered.  “But if you gotta go fast, I should go fast too!” Pit decided, sheathing his First Blade and slipping on two Beam Claws onto his hands.
Suddenly with speed not seen of him before, Pit disappeared and reappeared before Sakura, and proceeded to slice her up with the mini beam swords at the end of his knuckles. (|5WhMAv8p_1d20+3 Pit's Beam Claws @ Sakura. Does 8% Damage) (p_1d20+3 Pit's Beam Claws @ Sakura. Does 8% Damage) (p_1d20+3 Pit's Beam Claws @ Sakura. Does 8% Damage) Combo effect. Finishing off his slice-and-dice combo, Pit slipped one of his Beam Claws off, revealing a tattoo on his hand. It was a Burning Palm which, with a flick of the wrist, flung a fireball at Sakura. (p_1d20+1 Pit's Burning Palm @ Sakura. Does 4% Damage and inflicts Burn status.)
“A thousand French fries, steaming on the plate; Mashed Potato Samurai.”  Pit proceeded to haiku in identical tone to Sakura.

“…See, not cupid…”

“Of course he wouldn’t admit to being cupid, Big Top! Do you have any idea how many lawsuits people file against that guy!? Just look at him! All that squeaky clean boyish charm! If I was a teenage girl, I’d keep a poster of him on my wall!”

“…Creepy.”

“Come now, Big Top! Even you couldn’t possibly resist it!”

“Something tells me that even not as a teenage girl you keep a poster of him on your wall…”

“Have you seen my walls before, Big Top!?”

“…Well no. They’re in a constant state of being demolished due to some wacky shenanigans…”

“Exactly! Now stop distracting us from the match! We still have plenty to talk about!”

“…How rude of me…”

“You are forgiven! At least you can admit to it, Big Top! Anyways, look at those petals! Look at that burning palm! We have quite the match going on in front of us folks!”

“…Riveting commentary…”

“Keep that up Big Top and you’ll be the prize for the next Sunshine Stadium Tournament!”

“…Because I’m sure that won’t end in disaster like the last two…”

“The test audience LOVED the concepts we’ve been throwing around! The next Tournament will be bigger than ever! We’ve already setup the orbiting arena that’ll crash planet side during the action!

Sakura simply ignored the peanut gallery and continued to focus on the match that she was in, despite the close range, she would attempt the try dodging the beam claws...
DEX ROLL A: 3-1=2(ouch)
DEX ROLL B: 17-1=16(yay)
DEX ROLL C: 10-1=9(ouch)

A pity that she managed only one successful dodge out of three, and like with the reflected Spiritual Blast, she had no other option but to guard against the Burning Palm.
{Sakura shields the Burning Palm!: (50-10(activation penalty)-6(Pit's CRITICAL Burning Palm)=34 shield durability remaining)

"Not bad for an angel, but I must let you know this. Love must come naturally, and must never be 'forced', understand?" Sakura said bluntly, brushing the dust off her kimono and hakama, sure she felt the hits but she knew better than that when it came to respecting others. But what she said did have some meaning. It was always best to let love come in a natural way, rather than force people into loving you through other means such as love potions, or weaponised attacks.

Regardless, Sakura was still in close proximity to Pit, and placed a hand on his head and rubbed gently. All while having a point-blank Spiritual Blast surge right into his mind
WIS ROLL: 16+3=19(point-blank Head Rubbed Spiritual Blast @ Pit, 5% dmg and 100% Mind Melted chance if it connects)

Sakura then performed two more Arataka slashes aimed directly at Pit's knees.
STR ROLL A: 4+3=7(Arataka slash @ Pit, 7% dmg if it connects)
STR ROLL B: 11+3=14(Arataka slash @ Pit, 7% dmg if it connects)

Sakura would then perform a swords dance to appease the audience!

“Huh? But I said I’m not cup-head?” Pit instantly became distracted by Sakura rubbing her hand on his forehead. Huh? That was a weird thing to do in the middle of a fight unless it were an—Uh Oh! As fast as his neck could, Pit turned his forehead from Sakura’s hand, pulling his laurel crown in the way of her fingers. He wasn’t gonna get it in the head twice in one day.
(tc3E|ZFBp_1d20+3 Pit's dodge of Spiritual Blast) But as he was not fast enough to dodge then, he was not fast enough to dodge now. And once again, he was struck dead center and his mind was melted (p_1d20-2 Pit's Mind-Melt duration determination.) (p_1d20+2 Pit's attempt to dodge the second Arataka Slash.) In his struggle to resist the Mind Melt status, Pit was stuck in the knee with an Arataka Slash to the knee. Then, sweeping his feet off the ground, Pit did a horizontal axel, dodging the second Arataka Slash and slipping on his Upperdash Arm in the process. He then immediately responded through with an Upperdash upper cut straight into Sakura’s chin. Hopefully this created some distance between the two. (p_1d20+2 Pit's Upperdash Arm @ Sakura.

“And love always comes as a surprise!” Pit blurted out in response, not taking a second longer to think of a better retort. Instead, he took this time to equip and fire his Fireworks Cannon at Sakura. “Speaking of Surprise…” Pit smirked ominously.

“…Is that what’s happening? I thought they were having a moment down there… They’re talking about love an awful lot…”

“Of course they’re talking about love, Big Top! He’s Cupid, the God of Love! That’s all he talks about! When you become a God, you are cursed to only talk about what you are the God of! Have you ever talked to Hades before, Big Top!? All he talks about is the underworld!”

“WE have talked to Hades before… And most of what he was talking about was raising his underworld army…”

“I rest my case!”

“That doesn’t mean you’re right.”

“Is that so!? How about I call up the Goddess of Truth and see what she has to say on the matter!?”

“…How do you call a God?”

“You pray, Big Top! Now, quick, get the scented candles and the prayer mat!”

“First, what are the scented candles for? Second, we don’t have a prayer mat.”

Sadly, Sakura didn't think things through properly, all things considered especially since Pit had a few tricks of his own in store for her.

Seeing this as a near moot point, Sakura tried to dodge the Upperdash Arm...
DEX ROLL A: 11-1=10{Imagine that scene from DEATH BATTLE between Pit and Sora at your own peril!}

Unfortunately, she got hit with a Shouryuuken that knocked her back a few feet, but that was not all that was aimed at her, as she had to deal with a fireworks cannon as well!
DEX ROLL B: 18-1=17{dang, here I thought this was going to be easy. Pit must be here to prove me wrong.}

Sakura was blasted off her feet and she landed with a near-sickening thud on the ground, that double whammy of the Upperdash Arm and Fireworks Cannon really did a number on her, she still managed to stand up though, dusting herself off to ensure that her kimono was kept clean, though she might have to fix it up due to the holes now showing. "That was a nice surprise, however, you limited yourself to dealing with that. Can you say the same for me I wonder?" Sakura said in that calm voice as she picked up her katana and readied herself...

She would then suddenly lash out with lethal precision with no less than three Wounding Slash attacks, showing Pit that while he may be a Captain of his goddesses guard, She was far from defeated due to her ancestors being more than skilled in the arts, her father was in the military before he died, and that katana was more than a priceless family heirloom.
STR ROLL A: 19+3=22{savagely powerful Wounding Slash @ Pit, 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}
STR ROLL B: 14+3=17{ruthlessly strong Wounding Slash @ Pit, 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}
STR ROLL C: 12+3=15{Above Average Wounding Slash @ Pit, 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}

"I wonder how Commander Yoneda is doing these days..." Sakura pondered bowing to the crowd in their seats, followed by performing a bit of ballet... WHILE WEILDING HER KATANA!

“Gosh… It’s sure taking her a while to get up…” Pit stood in anxiously waiting for the dust to settle and reveal any sign of Sakura. “…Maybe I went a little too far with that combo--!”  Pit wondered out loud before being assaulted by a trifecta of savagely powerful wounding slashes.

“Oh mighty Goddess of Truth, I, MC Ballyhoo, call upon you for a most noble deed! I need to prove Big Top wrong! I know you must be busy balancing the falsehoods from the truth, but even you must see how righteous this cause is!”

“I don’t think that’s how you pray to a god…”

“Of course, I have this all wrong! Big Top, get me that goat’s head, I think I left it in the fridge!”

“I told you to stop leaving severed heads in the fridge! It freaks out the other staff members!”

“But Big Top, they’re collector’s items! You never know when you’ll need one! OH! Hold that thought! There’s smoke coming from my prayer mat!”

“…Oh good, we set the place on fire again.”

“Don’t be silly, Big Top! Someone has answered our prayers! See! They’ve left a note!”

“A note?”

“Indeed! And it’s written in that old timey font, so you know its from someone as old as time! Ahem! ‘Sorry, I’m attending another ritual summoning at the moment. If you have disembowelled an animal, please put it back together and try contacting me again in an hour or so.
Yours truly,
Satan.”

“Wait, Satan as in the devil or that guy that lives around here?”

“I think they’re the same guy! I dunno if that was him though!”

“…How did you manage to get Satan when you were trying to call the Goddess of Truth?”

“Maybe she hasn’t made it to Li yet and all calls made to her are being redirected to Satan!? It only makes sense, who better to understand the truth than the devil himself!?”

“I’m fairly certain that it would be the opposite… Also I’m pretty sure he has nothing to do with Greek mythology…”

“Nonsense! You must first understand the intricacies of lies before you can understand the truth! Because what is the truth, if not the least deceitful lie!?”

“That makes no se-”
