As stated once before, Ragna had decided to give the arena another go, his loss to Hazama clearly causing him to think more logically.

Many of the stadium regulars were curious to see ragna pull out a victory; like that was ever going to happen, especially since he had some of the worst luck in opponents, first that gerudo No-Show Ganondorf, then his long-standing nemesis in Hazama, he never could get a break for a solid victory, and hopefully he might have some fun with this one.

So here he was, back in the arena, doing practice swings with his BloodScythe, and waiting for his opponent -and the referee- to arive in their prefered fashion.

Hades had found himself being called by a little koopaling to the arena, as he had somehow been signed up to a fight with a man he had never heard of yet. "What a utter pain...Fine, fine ill be there." Hades swatted away the koopa with large amounts of force, then teleporting off as the skies around the Colosseum turned black, and from no where at all orchestra's began to play "Hades Infernal" To his call, and as a super amazing intimidation factor.

A black hole began to open from the ground, Hades slowly rising from it before it closed from under him.



"Greetings, mortal. If you don't know who i am...You obviously arnt going to win this."

Hades laughed, looking Ragna down. Hades had a bit of over-confidence with this. "Your name is Ragna, right? Quite the name. Sounds like your mother stubbed her toe while coming up with it." Hades took a similar troll-faced smile to hazama.

Hades stepped closer, standing a little over ragna at 6 foot 1. "Well, while we await our ref..Put 'er there partner!" Hades put out his godly hand, ready to shake to show some kind of sportsmanship to ragna. "I would not DARE pull any kind of devilish tricks here. Just you, me, and the dirt your face will soon be acquainted with."

While the two combatants got to know eachother, a red goomba was making his way to the stadium. His name was Goombattle and he was supposed to ref this match... However someone else had other plans. As a surprise fireball instantly turns the goomba into a trophy. "Random acts of murder are so fun. Now I got me a stadium to get to," the magical assualter says, vanishing from the scene.

A few seconds later a thunderstorm seemed to started over the stadium that was also accompanied by Meteors falling from the sky along with great beams of energy and fire. After a half a minute, one final beam came down and a certain psychotic mage appeared from the beam.



"Hello, fellow possesers of evil power. Your other ref could not make it so I took his place. I'll get the boring stuff out of the way so we can get to the glorious violence. Five turns to smack the hell out of each other. Do not begin to beat each other senseless until I get a good distance. Finally, do not attempt to... Oh, who am I kidding? Fight to the death for all I care as long as you do not waste my time. Do you two understand all that?"</font>

Ragna was clearly impressed by the fact that a god of hell would so easily show intimidation. "You might even give Tager a run for his money. But I digress, things might not go well for any of us." Ragna said, giving Hades the handshake though in retrospect, he was only intimidating as Bowser once Ragna gets that errand done.

"I understand the rules, so let us have ourselves a brawl to remember." He added, nodding to what he clearly knew as a Black Mage.

Ragna knew he might not win, but he had to try, and then he'd settle the score with Hazama by decapitating him.

Hades looked up to the skies, raising a brow as his entrance seemed to grow more hectic with meterors and beams of energy. "Strange, i scheduled setting fire to the rain for next Tuesday. Must be another master of dark arts, huh?" Hades gripped ragna's hand with enough force to crush any normal mortals bones, before giving a firm shake and letting go. "So, our ref is a little man in a blue cloak. My, bet you get all the ladies with that get up." Hades snidely said that as he rolled his eyes to the black mage as he listened to the rules. Hades himself started mouthing in mimick of black mage. 


"That all? Then i think were ready to duel, Blue mage." Hades smiled, laughing to himself before crossing his arms with his big Troll grin plastered on his face. The crossed arms deal was hades normal battle position, to give a sort of smug confidence for further intimidation.

[Coolshaymin]

Black Mage merely stared at Hades for his comment. Before stating "Sorry to ruin your parade, but Snake Boy already did the 'Blue Mage' joke," Black Mage replied. After giving his reply, Black Mage jumped back with some aide from the wind to safety. "Now, start the devestation!" Black Mage says as he held his hand that wasn't holding his staff into the air and fired a bolt spell to signal that he wanted the violence to start.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Ragna got into his battle stance, his weapon at the ready, assessing the situation and weighing his options...

"Ok, time to think, what best to use against someone who lives in hell...Physical attacks might work, but I want to make sure that I refrain from going totally ape on this guy, may as well try the passive-aggressive approach and see how it pans out with this guy, because he ain't no Hazama, he don't have counters to get into my mental state to drive me mad, and I can see that he can easily kill off someone like Azrael with no problem. OK, break time's over, time to get the carnage started." Ragna thought to himself, clearly noting that the Black Mage had started the battle.

Ragna decided to start off with a SOUL EATER, which was immediately chained into a combo with his BloodScythe Spin Attack, if this hit, he would be ready to see what his opponent would throw at him.

Hades yawned, letting ragna go ahead and assault him with his combo. "I could see that your thinking hard about how to fight me. What your strategy is, i cant begin to wonder. I plan on playing fair for now, so i wont bother trying to telepathically speak to you. Besides, who wouldnt like to just hear my lovely voice??"


p_1d20+1=21

Hades smiled wide, standing straight as if the attack had never happened. "You done pretty boy? Then its my turn!" Hades said happily, then pulling a M.Bison and suddenly moving forward to ragna with his arms crossed and delivering a fierce punch to ragna's jaw, then changing his left arm into his Devestation Drill, stabbing the drill into ragna to try and get into his core. Hades ended his heavy hitting combo by delivering a fist attack into ragna's stomach. Then, once it hit Hades fist burst into a darkness explosion. Hades then lifted his severed arm up, dark energy reforming his fist back into its before-explosion form.

"Hello, Life Sphere. None of that overly enthusiastic Ballyhoo or those robots and Hipster Kong or whatever his name was. This match will be commentated by experienced Bob-omb Sailor, Bobbery and my commentator,"Admiral Bobbery started.

"Red Mage! And may I start off by saying that these guy's rolling skills are awful. Except Hades' constitution roll, that was amazing."

"Rolling skills? Constitution Rolls? This is a battle between real men, not some DnD tournament for pansies that do not know how the experiences of real adventure."

"The dice determines everything, Admiral. Everything."

"... Alright then. Let's just talk about the match instead of your imaginary dice. Ragna performed some fancy combo on Hades who stands there and takes it like its nothing!"

"That would be because he failed his dodge roll but aced his constitution roll."

"... What did I just tell you? Anyway, Hades is now performing some even fancier combos with his fists. I wonder where that guy learned to change his fist into a drill and make it explode. Either that man's a god or part Bob-Omb. Neither is very likely though. Poseidon is the only god sailors need."

"... You do realize those are from the same mythology, right?"

"What do you know about religion, Dice Boy!"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

EVASION ROLL: 8OYbQVSbp_1d20 + 0 = 15

Ragna was quick in thinking that the Passive-Aggressive Route would aid him in this fight, but Hades was not toying around, that attack was for real, and ragna dodged that initial blow with ease. The explosion only giving him a minor suntan as he dodged the first strike entirely.

CONSTITUTION ROLL: p_1d20 + 0 = 4

Though the second hit quight literally forced him to block, sending him a good 10 feet away from the king of Hell in the process. "That was a good refresher course, I'd have to admit that you are one tough nut to crack when it comes right down to it." Ragna said mildly, charging into the fracas once again, this time unleashing a BloodScythe Spin Attack to close the gap, and following up with Devoured by Darkness to seal the deal.

STRENGTH ROLL: p_1d20 + 2 = 7

Hades snickered, suddenly putting his GODLY THIGHS to use and beginning to turn tail and sprint away from ragna while he is attacking. "Oh raggy, i have someone you might want to meet~" Hades said in a oddly seductive tone as he turned around to look ragna dead on after his failed attacks. Hades then stabbed his claws into his chest, grunting as he opened his body wide to let loose what some may call a ungodly atrocity of annoying bosses.



"Awww, look at him! He's so cute, So happy, so filled with insatiable blood lust!" Hades said, then pointing directly at ragna. Hades heart hopped up and down, and suddenly charged like hell at ragna to knock him up into the air. In fact, the heart was more like a chicken without a head, as it only seemed to run about the arena like a crazy spaz until arriving right behind ragna. And then, it exploded bomberman style, releasing four fire bursts in four directions in a + sign formation

"Oh look Red, Ragna is going for another combo. This guy is starting to get predictable, Hades merely stepped back to avoid it."

"That Dex Roll sure was close though. Hades is really getting this down. That block by Ragna had a terrible Con roll though."

"... Anyway, Hades is clutching his chest. Did he get a bad case of Heart Burn?"

"... Woah! He just pulled his heart out of his chest! That is awesome! I need to put that move in my games."

"... Yeah, you do that. His heart won't stop running though, he must drink a lot of Soda... Did it just explode?!"

"..."

"... WILL YOU STOP WRITING NOTES AND PAY ATTENTION!"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

DEX ROLL: iQTyQbA|p_1d20
CON ROLL: p_1d20

Ragna certainly felt that one, he couldn't believe his luck that he was unable to evade the attack, so much so that he was litterally feeling his blood rushing in excitement from the battle as though he wanted more of that to help the monster inside him get out and make merry with wanton chaos and discord. he did however block the worst of the damage

"That packed quite a punch, I certainly did not see that one coming. Looks like I'm gonna have to get quite serious here..." Ragna said, charging to hades and getting up close and personal to be the precise manic hunter of NOL facilities that made him the man who was the most wanted threat in his realm. and what he would do was something that not even Red Mage or Black Mage could place in the Final Fantasy Games, because it was already in their game series through the Monk.

STR ROLL: p_1d20 +2 =18

Ragna hauled off and landed a punch that was point blank and made sure to follow up with a Grab & Stab, hoping to weaken Hades greatly before the the grand finale of this match.

To be honest, it wasn't the attacks that surprised hades, but more of the fact ragna was able to lift the god into the air to perform his stabbing attack.


Constitution:p_1d20+1=14

Hades had stumbled back, tapping his chest to show the stab wound ragna had left before it was replaced in a stream of fire. "Hm...Well, seems weve made some progress here. Too bad your looking at a final boss pal.  I lost my legs once and that didnt stop me from running across a whole continant in one sprint." Hades said, smiling. Hades had then begun a slow walk over to ragna, using his charisma as a way to intimidate ragna to keep him uneasy in the fight.


Charisma:p_1d20+2=6

Hades then slammed his two fists onto both sides of ragna's head, pushing all of his godly strength into the head smasher move. Hades then rammed his knee into ragna's chest to push him back as hades then seemed to ascend into the air. "Since i like this little battle of yours...Ill let you see something i only use for special occasions!" Hades said, then curling up in the air before letting lose a yell of power as he uncurled and revealed his Devastation Ensemble. Hades looked something akin to a rainbow apocalypse at this point. "Well, how do you like it? Does it catch your eye? Make you shed tears of pain? It should. Especially, when this is coming at you!" 

the cape of the devastation ensemble began unleashing hundreds of black arrow missiles, Hades body unleashing several red and blue energy orbs, his hands unleashing energy rings. But, the most fearful would have to be his head, as it glew bright with a yellow energy. Right before hades gazed down on ragna and unleashed a gigantic purple and black laser beam that slowly went across the stadium's ground like a excavator looking for precious minerals. The missiles and energy projectiles left very little room to breathe what so ever, but the laser beam made the barrage even more claustrophobic for ragna. It was more like sunshine stadium became a Bullet Hell. As hades assaulted ragna down below, he laughed and yelled out to him. "This is nearly as fun as pitty pat! Well, not nearly as much. Pitty pat at least knew how to dodge once or twice, and didn't look like bad hair day inuyasha. And yes, the god of all things evil did just reference anime. Eat your heart out skeith!"

"Now Ragna is resorting to his fists... And grabbing and stabbing. Hades seems to be back to not dodging..."

"Black Belt is much better with in fighting. Just do not ask him for directions."

"... Not going to question it. Does not seem to be much to commentate on anymore."

"Really? Not going to be impressed by his regeneration?"

"Bob-Ombs in my part of the Marioverse do it all the time... But we can not do THAT for sure! Hades just turned into what seems to be a living Military Weapon Fire Display Show!"

"You have those in your world?"

"Of course! We Bob-Ombs are very enthusiastic when it comes to using Military Equipment."

"Interesting..."

"... Your jotting down notes again, aren't you?"
