[Mr. Game & Watch]

The trio of A.I.M., Ragna, and Adell were devoured by the ground underneath, the transport following not too long afterwards. The arms soon switched targets afterwards, the winged one posing the most amount of problems for them. The lanky limbs honed in on the dark angel and began to flail about and whip at him. As Dark Pit was being barraged by the white hands, another set came from underneath and attempted to yank at the boy yet again they wanted him underground with the others.

As for Paula, she came just too late at the scene of the kidnapping. She watched as the man was pulled underground by the creepily pale arms. Once those arms retreated, slightly burned and hindered by the girl’s PK Fire, another set sprouted beside her. These two arms attempted to slash at her with their claws, and as they swung another arm fired out of the earth and attempted to snatch at her face, in yet another attempt to pull her under with the rest.

Meanwhile, underneath the battlefield, Ragna was pulled into some sort of underground cavern. The white hands still had a tight grip around his arms, and propped him up on the floor of the cave. A few things he would notice about this area was that it was entirely made of rock and dirt, no metal or any sort of technology so this was a natural formation, not a creation of the residents. Unless of course they dug this place out, but it seemed to lack any sort of touches that would lead someone to believe it was an unnatural construct. The second thing being that the only source of light was the hole he was forced through not too long ago, besides the gigantic hole that the transport had to be forced through. The light coming from the sun outside was acting like a spotlight above his head. The third, he was alone, unless one were to count the vehicle of course. The fourth was a bit more disturbing however. There was a strange gasping noise, an echoing effect that sounded similar to an old man trying to reclaim his breath, only at a much lower pitch. As stated before, Ragna was alone. There was nobody visible in the area, but the sounds gave off the vibe that they were getting closer. The more time he spent down there, the harder the grasp on his arms became. It was almost like the controller of the arms was getting excited.

Dark Pit was not fast enough to dodge the flailing and got grabbed again. "Oh no you don't!" Dark Pit said as he summoned his Samurai Sword and cut through  the hands, forcing them to release him. "Viridi, got anything from a wiki? Could really help knowing what we are up against!" Dark Pit called to Viridi.



"Okay, I think I got what it could be. It might be a dead hand, from Ocarina of time. Creepy pale hands are kind of their thing," Viridi answered in Paula and Dark Pit's heads.




"Dead hand... Okay, then the best tactic is to force it out of hiding by destroying the hands. If it is a Dead Hand, then we can destroy it that way," Dark Pit said as he took out his Dark Pit staff and shot at the ones trying to grab Paula.

Paula putted her hands to her mouth after losing Adell, now two remained. She was soon attacked by another set of arms. "Uh oh!" she said to herself as she tried to dodge the one slashing at her and the other trying to grab her face and try to bury her with the rest.

Paula nearly got grabbed but thanks to the other arm slashing at her, she was pushed away from it. Although getting hurt in the process. "Grrgh!, thanks arm. You just saved me from your partner!" Paula said in pain yet smiling at the same time. As she stands up.


p_1d20-1

Weirdly..Paula dose not seem to be in pain..why was she pretending to!, I guess she was pushed..

Paula then heard a strange lady in her head. Mentioning the name of these..Arm things as "Dead Hands" from A Ocarina of time. She never heard this lady before but i guess she should take her word for it. "Thank you king lady." Paula said out loud. She then looked at the two arms again. "Sorry about what im about to do..Seeing as though you saved me a minute ago!" Paula said as she suddenly shoots out PSI Frost at the two arms..

Even though the arms had a firm grip on him, Ragna was strong enough to at the very least break loose from their grip, though he would have to start slashing at them with Bloodscythe to render them useless.

"Now this is interesting to begin contemplating, but right now I have a bigger fish to fry... First things first, gotta get those two to know where the source of those arms is located." Ragna said to himself, pulling out the Cracker Launcherthat was strapped to his back like his BloodScythe, and aimed it at the hole he was dragged through.

DEX ROLL{For the Cracker Launcher}: qPAU_c69p_1d20{Poor way to use a Cracker Launcher; Ragna m'boy}

Ragna hoped that the shot would get the attention of Dark Pit and Paula to make them realise there was an underground cavern here, as well as the puppet master controling those disembodied multiple appendages.1d20

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The hands continued to put on the pressure even after being sliced from Dark Pit’s blades. For every arm that was chopped off, another two came to take their place, some bursting from the ground at near Mach speed to deliver a punch directly to the dark angel’s body. There were a few that managed to dodge his onslaught and continued to peck and claw at him in rapid intervals. The hands even attempted to grab him once more, but this time instead of pulling him they tried to throw him to the ground.

As for Paula, their attention seemed to be more on Dark Pit since he provided a slightly larger threat, hence why they were roughly over a dozen attacking him at once. PSI Frost managed to freeze both of the arms solid in the midst of their attempts at attacking the young girl again. Unfortunately, this made her become seen as more of a threat. Thus four arms sprouted out of the ground at once, surrounding her and in sync formation they slammed their white fists on her. One last hand breached from the ground afterwards to attempt at snatching the girl once again.

Meanwhile, under the feet of the other heroes, Ragna attempted to signal the other two of his location by blasting a cracker launcher shell out of the hole he was in. He completely missed, hitting the ceiling instead and blowing a huge hole that rained shards of rocks on top of him. The blast wasn’t big enough to blow a hole through the ground, so that gave a hint to just how far down the kimono wearing swordsman was. There was a slight rumbling on the surface, but overall it might not be noticed unless the group was being very attentive towards their footing, and only half of the team was on the ground to feel it anyways.

The arms that Ragna threw off of himself soon came back with a vengeance, one grabbing the man by the back of the neck and the other snatching for his right leg. Another two sprang from the ground and aimed for his other limbs, one trying to sedate his arm to try and stop him from firing off another rocket shell. Dead Hand’s moans of anguish continued to echo around the underground tunnel. The difference this time around though was the fact that sounded like it was much closer. Ragna could now feel something reach around him, however, there was nothing in front or behind him, nothing visible anyway. Now there was a grueling groan directly next to his ear along with a stinging sensation in his shoulder, unless he was quick enough to react of course.

Dark Pit blocked the punches with his Samurai Sword, absorbing most of the damage of Dead Hand's Barrage. All until he was suddenly grabbed and threw at the ground at which put his hand at the ground and flipped off back onto even footing.


p_1d20(Dark Pit's 1st attempt at deduction)

Dark Pit noticed the hole the Car got pulled through and his brain figured something out. With a short run, Dark Pit
ran at the hole and dived down with his wings strecthed, activating his power of flight to quickly fly through the hole until he was at the bottom after falling at top speed.


p_1d20(Dark Pit's 2nd Attempt at Deduction)

Dark Pit does not have a Lens of Truth to see the thing, heck, he could not see it at all. However, he took a thought at where it would be and took his Phosphora Bow and took a shot of faith, mostly for the brief Lightning Effect IF it hit.

"Sorry.." Paula said to the now frozen Arms..she felt a small fudd from below.."Wh-- Suddenly four other dead hands appeared around her..Before she could react..she was smashed into the ground.."Oh, Ow, EHH!" Was the sounds Paula made as she kept on being smashed by the hands..

Before Paula could try and defend herself she was grabbed from the hair by a 5th Dead hand..She tried her best to get out of its grip but it was too late..She, Like all her other fallen comrades have been taken by the Dead hands that she thinks were possibly sent by Dark Shadow himself!

"Let me g--MMMM!" And in an instant..She was gone..1d20-1·1d20+2

Ragna was quick to react by using enough of his strength to break free of the appendages at least he had a firm belief that his assailent was indeed hiding, in fact... very close to the govornment smashing military hater, that he felt only a sharp pain from being bitten, unfortunately for the Dead Hand however was the fact that it bit into the Azure Grimoire Arm and felt as though it would lose a tooth from the attempt despite being invisible unless it surfaced from the Phosphora Bow being fired at its hiding place.

"I hope this thing knows what it just got itself into, because I am sure as hell gonna kill Hades when I get back to the city." Ragna growled, lobbing a Seithr infused Soul Eater Punch combo at the ground as hard as he could.

STR ROLL: 20+2=22{Natural Awesomesauce Punch; AWAY!}
WIS ROLL(Soul Eater): 8+1=9{11 points off for a natural crit. Soul Eater}

hopefully the combined efforts of Ragna and Dark Pit would be enough to bring the Dead Hand itself out of hiding.

NOTE: This is getting fun.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Paula soon found herself traveling underground at a rapidly fast pace, being torn through the earth itself in a forceful manner until finally breaking the roof of the cavern that the rest of the team was resigned within. With one of the hands still having her well within its grasp, it aimed at the dark angel and then quickly proceeded to launch the tiny girl at him like a catapult.

Afterwards, a collection of the white limbs began to pierce through the floor and implanted themselves into the roof. There was quite a few of them within the area of Dark Pit and Paula, their pattern being peculiar since they looked to be making an oversized and spread out circle around them.

The failed biting attempt caused the invisible force around Ragna to relieve itself, though what happened to it beyond that seemed rather inconclusive. The quite apparent darkness made it incredibly difficult to see anything beyond a certain point. In fact, the shadows of the tunnel disguised any walls. Given that Dead Hand was not visible to those without a lens of truth it was going to serve them even more trouble on trying to spot it.

The light arrow shot into the darkness, lightening the cavern as it flew across the rocky plains. It revealed nothing besides a wall far into the distance that it soon collided with. Though, it flew directly over Ragna’s head, making his pound against the ground look even more impressive. The punch itself made the ground sunder and shake, creating slight tremors and cracking the earth. Nothing more, however, he did make a very precise indentation of his fist into the floor. In the aftermath of his punch, a large bulge formed in the earth he stood on. It gave off an impression that it was some sort of burrowing creature. It began to move, leaving a trail of dirt in its wake and trucking headlong towards Dark Pit, no doubt capable of reaching him within seconds.

Dark Pit did not get out of the way of Paula and instead put away his weapon and catched her, "Glad you could join the party," Dark Pit said jokingly. He then noticed some tunneler speeding towards him. Holding Paula in one hand, Dark Pit used his other to summon his Doom Cannon. Maybe with the right amount of force, he could force it out of the ground. Still flying  Dark Pit  shot his doom cannon at the burrowing figure, not only attempting to unground it but use the recoil he was going to get with no friction to get out of the way of the hands seeming to be trying to cause caveins.

Paula tried her best to kick and spit the dirt that was on her as she was pulled further and further down into the ground to who knows where! Suddenly she was in..A Cavern. "Huh?" Paula said in curiosity as she saw Dark Pit and Ragna fight off some more Dead hands. "Ragna, Dark Pit, Your ok!" Paula shouted at them, before she could try and escape the hand that gripped her she was thrown from it towards Dark Pit! "Look out!" She screamed at him, lucky for her Dark pit catched her and she was reunited with.. Well, half of her group..As Paula noticed that Adell and A.I.M were not with them, but she'll focus on that later!


"Thank you kind angel!" She said to Dark pit as he started to fire his doom canon towards the Burrow figure. Seeing more dead hands flying towards them, Paula fired PSI fire towards the hands, to buy Dark Pit some time.

"Aren't we all?" Ragna said, pulling his clenched fist out of the ground, the indentation as a result causing the ground upon which he stood to form a mound that bagan to truck towads Dark Pit, Hoping to make a meal out of him.

at the instance of Dead Hand relinquishing Ragna however, Ragna would Carefuly follow the moving mound and be ready to strike when it actually decided to shed its invisibility power and reveal its ugly mug. "I wonder if this creature has a soul that can be sucked out of it." Ragna said, pulling out bloodscythe and drawing nearer to the disembodied appendages, if the limbs tried to make a grab for him, they would be cut clean by his weapon.

And of course, he would have to find a way to kick its @$$ without a lense of Truth.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The mound of dirt finally ceased at the area where Dark Pit had been floating above not too long ago. The winged man was right in thinking that the hands were attempting to cause a cave in, but unfortunately for Ragna he threw himself right into the line of fire by deciding to follow the bulge in the ground. In an instant after the mound stopped itself the roof above the swordsman’s head collapsed. Great boulders rained upon the red kimono wearing brawler as the cave itself rumbled from the force that was being applied to bring it down. The misguided bolt from Dark Pit’s Doom Cannon didn’t make matter any better on top of that.

As the roof rumbled, an eerie high pitched scream echoed in from a distance. The feminine cry came from behind the duo that evaded the rock slide. It was difficult to tell where it came from since anything that was decently far away was shrouded in darkness.

There was very little time to actually investigate since the white hands were finally free once their plot had been fulfilled. A speeding bullet punch came through the roof to sucker punch the black angel. Another set of hands ripped through the floor underneath where Dark Pit was floating over and the two of them swung at him in another attempt to swiftly snatch and smash him against a nearby wall.

The PSI Fire caught one of the few stray arms on fire, though as it suffered in the engulfing flames it scrunched up into a fist and slammed at the little girl. A wheezy yet rapid noise arose from behind her, very akin to the sound of the wheezing of an elderly man. Just like before with Ragna, an invisible force took hold of Paula and quickly after that the feeling of something biting her was stinging her shoulder (if she fails to dodge this that is).

Dark Pit was indeed sucker punched by the hand though he took it with a rubbing on his face. He sensed an incoming enemy from the rear as he tossed Paula into the air, thinking she'd be safe up there for a second before quickly slashing the hands away with Pandora Claws as he evaded. "This is getting really annoying! How are we supposed to fight something we can't see?!" Dark Pit said in outrage. And what was up with that scream? ... Anything would be better than fighting this guy right now, but he can't even tell exactly where it came from.


p_1d20

Well, he's getting an idea, but he can't quite pinpoint it and it might not be a good idea to fly into the darkness... Well, either way, time to fry some hands. Dark Pit started flying around trying to set as many Pandora Flames as fast as he can to burn the hands that tried to pop up and maybe the zombie currently being that guy.

"Bingo!" Paula said in glee as some of the hands caught fire from her PSI. She was then suddenly thrown into the air by Dark pit so he could fight more enemy's. "Woahh!" Paula said as she almost hitted the cavaran roof. She then saw another hand flying towards her for possible revenge at which she did to his friends.

Paula failed to dodge the arm which resulted in her being grabbed by it and thrown down to the ground level of the cave. "Owie!" Paula said in pain as she stands up and looked around at the carnage around her. That was when she heard a wheezy noise coming behind her.

Paula yelped in pain as the invisible force bit her on the shoulder or what felt like a bite. "Grah, Get off!" Paula said as she tried to hit anything that was behind her with her Pan.
