[Maverick Hunter Zero]

(Mari, to ensure that the fight don't drag out too long, please use one of Iris's Pokemon. You may also bring some members of the MGS to enjoy the fight.)

Fourth time in the arena, Shantae could be seen doing some dancing, there were very few people in the stands as a result of the most recent fight, most likely because of what happened the last time, and partly because they felt that they were nervous about what might come if something similar happened again, there were however some of the citizens were there, and even some Kremlings were there to watch Shantae fight against someone that Wasn't Captain Falcon.

Aside from the Kremlings, There were a few Koopas, and quite a few Gerudo as well, they were all patient and we're calmly chattering amongst themselves.

As for the Half-Genie herself, She still danced in silence, waiting for her opponent to arrive.

[Mari]

In the stands, Black could be observed in a pretty magical girl princess dress wearing what appeared to be K. Rool's crown. The kremlings all bowed before her, and in turn they received head pats. All was good. Valorie watched in confusion Elsewhere, Lyndis and Arle were sitting next to each other discussing something. It looked like they were sharing a bowl of nachos, and judging by the way they fed each other it seemed like they were a bit close. Either that or they were just having a bit of fun at each other's expense. A green book of wind magic sat open in Arle's lap. ...Hopefully, neither of them got nachos on it. And ... Where are those gerudos from?! Hyrule had like a 99% fatality rate what the f--

Iris rushes into the arena with a flying Draco trailing behind her at a leisurely pace. She attempted to hop into Draco's arms all of a sudden, taking the half-dragon off guard as she struggled not to get dragged to the ground after catching Iris. A brief leer was given as Iris spun around and landed on Draco's back, riding her like a flying horse.  "--H-Hey! Get your butt off me! Wha'do I look like, huh??" Draco protested, wriggling a bit before collapsing onto her hands and knees. Leaning forward on her back, Iris responded without hesitation. "The cutest dragon I've ever ridden~!" Iris replied in a matter-o-fact tone. Draco became slightly flustered. It would be accurate to say she had some mixed feelings about that. "...C'mon! I'll try carrying you." Iris offered, hopping off Draco and scooping her into her arms. A repeatedly flustered Draco clung to her in response, even her tail curling around Iris. She was confused but flattered as Iris awkwardly waddled the rest of the way over to Shantae, grinning brightly at her. "Hi, Shantae~! Are you ready for a battle? Peach taught me a little love magic, and this is my pokemon Draco!" Iris greeted. Draco pouted slightly. "...But we haven't even gone on a date!" Draco protested.

Shantae would stop her dancing the moment Iris addressed her, though she was only slightly bewildered by the sudden appearance of Draco in Iris's Pokemon roster than anything else. "Didn't I see you in a mission where Me, Arle, and a sentient glove faced off against you, a talking fish who likes to dance, and a Jester?" Shantae asked Draco out of curiosity, especially since it was the Half-Genie herself who once called Draco a 'Kung-fu Chun-Li Lizardman'. "I guess people can be mistaken for Pokemon too... I think." Shantae mused as she placed hew newly gotten Beast Ball in her hammerspace inventory closet, not wanting to use any items since she knew it wouldn't be allowed.

She then got into a combat-ready stance, wanting to enjoy herself in a fight with a friend she knew, as well as to see how her skills match with others.

She would first and foremost test the waters by trying to hit Draco with a fireball, hopefully to see if she could Playfully tease her.
WIS ROLL A: 8-3=5(Bad fireball @ Draco, 5% dmg and 100% burn chance if it connects)

Then to make use of her magical nature, decided to try buffing up her perception, since her Fireball would most likely miss.
CHA ROLL: 7+5=12(Wish used to buff WIS stat by +1 for three turns)

Then tried again with another Fireball attempt.
WIS ROLL B: 19-3=16(slightly better Fireball @ Draco, 5% dmg and 100% burn chance if it connects)

Then did a twirl like a ballet dancer for an appeal.
Appeal roll: 18+5=23(Holy cow that appeal is going to be good!)

"--Oh yeah! That jester. He was weird, and he smelled like food." Draco thoughtfully replied, seemingly forgetting about everyone else. "Did that fish smell like food?" Iris asked. "Sugigaedora?? ...Kinda. He smells like seafood." Draco replied. "...Do I smell like food?" Iris asked. Draco became flustered. "--What're you suggesting??" she asked. "I'unno..! It was just a thought. Lots of dragons munch on people!" Iris replied. Draco just kinda blanched for a long moment. " . . . We do?" she asked, daintily leaning in and ever so cautiously hovering her head over Iris' head to get a whiff. "I've never thought humans smelled like food." Draco added in confusion, pulling back. Iris pondered this for a long, long moment. "...If we didn't eat food, would it still smell like food to us??" Iris asked in mild alarm. "What?!" Draco asked in disbelief. "What if things only smell like food because we eat them?!" Iris blurted out in a panic. Draco blanched rather hard, giving Iris a rather blank stare in response. " . . . Howwww--That's stupid!!" Draco replied, holding her head in frustration and apparent headache. "But what if it's true?? Our noses are just tasting the air!! They're long-range mouths!" Iris replied, moving to grasp Draco and shake her. "--Gross!" Draco replied, holding Iris back by her forehead. "Stop tasting me with your nose." Draco irritably remarked, eliciting a little giggle from Iris as the sheer absurdity of what Draco had said pierced her minor freak out.

"People and Pokemon are just roles! Nobody's born with their role already chosen for them. I could be a pokemon if I really wanted to." Iris remarked. Meanwhile, Draco leapt into the air using her wings to give her extra height to dodge Shantae's attacks!!

"Gao!!" Draco challenged from the sky, fluttering down toward Shantae. She then conjured a magical pink heart in her hands, launching it down at her! It would explode rather violently on contact with her or the ground.

p_1d20+2 (Draco's Love Magic; Does 18% Damage)

"That was pretty cute, right??" Draco eagerly asked. Iris then followed up, dashing at Shantae and bouncing into the air with a competitive "Yeah!!" Draco caught her by the arms and helped her raise further up with some great difficulty, grounding herself in the process of tossing Iris further into the air. She then turned about, drew her legs up and attempted to drop on top of Shantae backside first!

It sure looked like they were having a lot of fun, and the crowd seemed to like it too.

{Mari, I recently had to change Shantae's stats slightly so they could be a bit better than they were, don't worry as it was only a minor setback, also changed wish to Genie Magic.}

Shantae was quite surprised that Draco could eventually avoid the fireballs, and deliver a counter to how pathetic her attempt was in trying to burn her, and was just as quick to try to dodge the explosion of a pink heart.
DEX ROLL A: 19+1=20(almost a crit-dodge there...)

But what she did not expect however was for Iris to follow up with a butt slam after Shantae avoided the explosion, thankfully she decided to dance out of the way in time.
DEX ROLL B: 18+1=19(wow... this reminds me of the time I fought Captain Falcon as Shantae)

"Hey, not bad. Now I need to learn this Love Magic and see for myself how good it is." Shantae said as she gave Iris a headpat in respect. She would have to get a little more serious if she wanted to survive the fight. "Guess I should be happy that I carry something to drink in the process." Shantae added, pulling out a bottle of vitamin D rich white milk and downed the entire contents in a few gulps.

(Shantae uses Monster Milk, boosting her STR modifier by 2 for 3 turns)

Shantae then jumped skyward, possibly slightly higher than Draco, and pulled out the Cutlass, then entered a state of freefall hoping to knock Draco out of the air by blade point
STR ROLL A: 16+1+2(Monster Milk)=19(Downward Sword Strike @ Draco Centauros, 12% dmg if it connects)

Then on landing, sheathed the Cutlass and cracked the whip... Quite literally in Shantae's case since her hair WAS the whip!
STR ROLL B: 18+1+2(Monster Milk)=21(Hair Whip @ Draco Centauros, 10% dmg if it connects)

Shantae would then walk up to Iris and plants a kiss on her forehead for the appeal!
Appeal roll: 15+5=20(This is good.)

Draco yelped in alarm as she was struck from the air and whipped, hitting the ground with a thud and a soft whine. Meanwhile, Iris stared up at Shantae as the taller girl walked up to her and kissed her upon the forehead. This confused and flustered Iris. She could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks and she gently touched where she'd been kissed. "H-Huh..?" Iris murmured, trying to wrap her head around what was happening. "Did you just... kiss me?" she softly asked, squirming a bit where she stood. Now her feelings were all messed up! She hadn't really known what to expect when Shantae approached her, but definitely not this. "I mean--Yeah! Love magic's pretty cool. You can use it to do all sorts of stuff! Like um... This!" Iris offered, conjuring up a pretty lavender heart and tossing it over to Draco. The heart seemed to absorb into the fallen dragon girl, healing the wounds Shantae had caused!

p_1d15+2 (Iris' The Power Of Love; Heals Draco for 17% Health)

Draco got up and bounced to her feet with a rather combative "Gao!!" as she retook a fighting position. "You can have all the kisses you want, but first you have to beat me~!" Iris enthusiastically remarked, dismissing the fluttering in her heart and returning to her combat eagerness. It wasn't the easiest to keep her flustered. --Well, maybe harder than Arle anyway. Was that really saying much? Following up on this, Draco rushed Shantae and attempted to deliver a flaming uppercut to her gut!

p_1d20+2 (Draco's Draco Upper; Does 14% Damage and has a 50% chance to burn if it hits)

She then followed this up by furiously throwing a great many punches at Shantae, ending with a kick that broke the sound barrier and would explosively launch Shantae back with its force!

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Shantae was impressed, though she was now going to be wishing she had stronger attacks on hand, as Draco decided to go on the offense with an uppercut which Shantae would be able to avoid.
DEX ROLL A: 13+1=14(Draco Upper dodge: Success!)

That wasn't all however as the dragon girl promptly unleashed some rapid-fire fisticuffs ending in a powerful kick, and although she could see it coming, Shantae didn't get out of the way in time and was punished with the attack.
DEX ROLL B: 6+1=7(Draco Hurricane dodge: failure! Shantae takes 30% dmg)

Shantae would be sent careening into the wall as a result, but since the arena walls were made of refined Nintendium, an impact sillouette was not possible. Shantae would have to catch her breath at the very least and once she did, she unleashed a fireball that could almost scorch someone easily!
WIS ROLL: 18+1=19(Powerful than average fireball @ Draco Centauros, 5% dmg and 100% burn chance if it connects!)

Shantae was also at optimal range to pull out and use the Flintlock Pistol, which she would take aim and open fire on the dragon girl.
DEX ROLL C: 19+1=20(ruthlessly strong Flintlock Pistol @ Draco Centauros, 5% dmg 3 times if it connects!)

She would then get back up close and personal to deliver another Whipping with her ponytail!
STR ROLL:12+1+2(monster milk)=15(Above average hair whip @ Draco Centauros, 10% dmg if it connects!)

Shantae would then dance without any worries until the next wave of attacks from her opponent.
Appeal roll: 12+5=17(decent)

...!! Seeing a fireball coming toward her, Draco reflexively recoiled! She then spat a glob of flame at the fireball, killing its momentum and preventing it from hitting her. "Hey, watch the clothes!" Draco whined, not wanting to ruin her clothes during this fight. She needed those to be cute! She then raised her arms in confusion as Shantae pointed a gun at her, only for the bullet to bounce right off of her arm. She'd inadvertently blocked it! She similarly met Shantae's hair whip with her arms, keeping it from striking her somewhere more vital.

((Draco bubbleshields all of Shantae's attacks!))

"Gao!!" Draco roared, somewhere between a dragon and a girl. ...Pretty close to a smaller dragon though! Her wings fluttered and her tail swayed somewhat twitchily in anticipation. She then abruptly charged Shantae, throwing herself through the air with arms outstretched, attempting to tackle her to the ground!

VH0xGmKmp_1d20 (Draco's Grapple! Will prevent Shantae from dodging or bubbleshielding Draco's and Iris' attacks!)

Draco then went about bouncing atop Shantae, kicking her in the process, before pulling her legs out from underneath her and performing a butt slam upon Shantae! Unfortunately, without the aid of love magic, it was no more effective then her kicks. But it was probably more humiliating!

Iris then rushed over. "Don't forget about me! There's enough room for two~!" she light-heartedly blurted out, bouncing into the air and carelessly falling on Shantae bottom-first, butt slamming her! Unlike Draco's, hers was empowered with love magic such that a heartsplosion promptly occurred on impact!

p_1d20+3 (Iris' Butt Slam; Does 14% Damage and afflicts infatuation)

She and Draco then both remained seated on Shantae, attempting to pin her down to the ground with their posteriors! Aided, of course, by their body weights bearing down on her. "Sorry Shantae, butt we plan to come out of this match on top~!" Iris chirped, giggling at her own joke. "Yeah~! Hope you like my tail!" Draco added, and the both of them would wiggle atop Shantae for emphasis, laughing like dorks.

Shantae was indeed close to her opponent, but she didn't know how close until Draco Centauros grabbed her and landed some hits, then pinning her to the ground with her butt, and it got weirder when Iris did the same thing, only this time Shantae was unable to avoid getting hit.
INT Check for Infatuation resistance: 5(This is a literal fail)

"Oof... Now I know how a Goomba feels when it gets stomped on, doesn't matter though because you're still gonna be my friend due to how adorable you are." Shantae said while she blushed, ironically, not even the Half-genie was immune to infatuation, while the two had pinned her down by their body weight on hers, they failed to notice that Shantae's arms were still free and had managed to find an arm each and gently pull them in for a group hug. It was then that Shantae would whisper "I yield." in Iris's ear, letting the dragon trainer know that she couldn't keep up with her. And promptly snuggled the both of them.

Iris yelped in alarm as she was pulled down, giggling as she returned Shantae's embrace. "Thanks~" Iris replied, content to stop now. Draco on the other hand, seemed kinda flustered. "--Hey! What's... What's with all the hugging?" she softly whined, confused as to the change of tone.

((Battle Complete!))
