Woe was the man or woman who dared to challenge the duet of beautiful women proudly marching their way onto the battlefield. First came Peach, carrying Perry over her shoulder. She wasn't normally a fan of the stadium, but ... well... Raffine's attitude had made it difficult for her to find a partner, and Peach couldn't leave a sister hanging!

The mushroom princess waved politely to the crowd as she entered the arena!

Following at a modest pace behind her was Raffine, who turned her nose up at the crowd and smiled proudly in response to the amount of attention she was getting. Why, it was only natural that she was the star of today's show. Who else could hold a crowd this large? ...Probably anyone, but you wouldn't want to tell Raffine that.

"I look forward to seeing if you can actually fight in those heels, Princess Peach~"

[Coolshaymin]

Link walked towards the Stadium in it's glory. He was a big fan of competing against other people. He was a Hyrule Warrior and a weapon prodigy. He was ready to test his strength against the others that wished to fight here... The Hero of War courageously stepped into the ring with strong looking gauntlets that carried a Chain Chomp behind him to show his strength. He lost his last fight but he was not the type to refuse or be bitter from a challenge.

... Of course, Link needed a partner to fight doubles. A very bitter mage luckily agreed to help him with this task... Even if he gave him rather mean looks. The mage seemed to just be hating everything for some reason. Regardless, he was given the chance to harm things without punishment and that got his attention. The mage stood next to his partner and did not say much. He simply stared forward. He definitely identified the blonde in pink. Him, Ninja and White Mage did invade their sports tournaments a few times. Might and Magic unite in an attempt for a team.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

As all the combatants entered onto the battlefield, the crowd roared with joy. It was a big event after all. Two paragons from two of the largest societies that populated the Life Sphere was quite the ticket seller. Hylians, Deku Scrubs, Toads, Goombas, and whatever it is that lives in the other combatants universes were all accounted for and eager to see how this blood bath would play out. So much so that they began to do the wave.

Something went wrong though. The lights radiating from the artificial sunny sky soon went dark. The entire stadium was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible for those with diurnal oriented eyes to see much of anything past their own hands in front of their faces. As the crowd began to panic a very ominously familiar, yet obnoxious, laugh began to echo throughout the arena. The audience continued to stir, anxious and unknowing to what was going on and hoping that this day wasn’t their last.

A series of spotlights illuminated the areas in which each of the opponents were standing. The laugh echoed once more. “Welcome to the Sunshine Stadium! AH HA HA HA!” the voice announced as a series of brightly coloured lights flashed and danced around the stadium, a platform lit up with bright neon pink emerging from the ground at the center of the fighting pit. Who else but MC Ballyhoo was atop the multi-coloured eyesore of a stage? Keep in mind, the entire Life Sphere was still pitch black, the only light source around was Ballyhoo’s assault on the optical senses.

“Man, we are sooooo getting sued for this…” the goblin creature’s sentient hat mumbled.

“Shush, Big Top! This is our moment! We’re finally reffing a match! And what a match, I should say!”

“The Princess of Peach” he bowed “the, uh, her friend! VERSUS! Link of Hyrule and, uh, Mage Man! Give them a round of applause, ladies and germs! Oh this will be a match for the history books! Just you wait and see! Now, the brawl shall commence!” the big lipped being exclaimed as his platform began to sink back into the ground and the lighting of the Life Sphere returned back to normal.

As the stage continued to sink though, “…You forgot to state the rules…” Big Top stated blandly.

“Huh, I did…”

“How have we not been fired yet?”

Peach

Princess Peach waved to Link and Black Mage ever so cheerily, smiling brightly to the two of them. "Hello boys~!" she remarked lightheartedly, giving Perry a little twirl as she spoke. "It's so nice to see you again! I just wish it could be under better circumstances..." Peach explained, striking an enthusiastic pose. "Because right now..." she continued, trailing off for a moment as she took a moment to fix her hair, a rather futile gesture considering what was to come. "It's time to put on... my game face!" the princess would finish after the moment passed, closing her eyes for a moment and tapping into her vibe powers.

The princess abruptly burst into flames where she stood, a massive fireball consuming her visage. If one looked past the flame they would see that her expression had twisted into one of restrained anger. When the princess eyes' opened they too were filled with an intense fire of a different nature.

...Talk about a one eighty mood swing, huh?

(Peach has activated her rage vibe! If anyone makes or is hit by a melee attack directed at/from her they will be burned.)

The princess then began making her way towards Link at an intimidatingly slow pace, just kind of commanding his attention with her massive presence on the battlefield. As Peach continued closing the distance she abruptly burst into a sprint, leaping into the air and allowing Perry to carry her higher into the air, soaring over Link's head. Without warning she turned and pulled her legs up from underneath her, attempting to drop down on Link bottom first like a literal flaming meteor!

After landing, Peach would push herself back to her feet and rhythmically swing her hips to clear herself of any lingering lonks about her person, potentially hip checking Link in the process.

Raffine

(Raffine just kind of gets distracted for a moment as she watches Peach's display, utterly stunned)

The princess had always seemed like such a kind, gentle and reserved person in the few times they'd had the pleasure of interacting. To see her flying into a literal fiery rage and throwing her ... weight around was something spectacular to behold. Yet, she could not stay distracted like this for long. Y'know, combat situation.

"Ohohoho~ Oh la-ti-da~! It seems it's you and I then, Unfamiliar Mage~" Raffine remarked in a rather proud, even smug tone of voice. The way she said the word unfamiliar suggested she was poking fun at Black Mage. "Prepare to feel the legs of a proper lady!" Raffine then proceeded to call out unironically.

The 'proper lady' then proceeded to rush Black Mage, her dangerously short mini skirt trailing in the wind as she set out to show him what she meant by that remark. With her fists. ...Huh. Raffine pulled back a fist as if to strike Black Mage, only to feint the blow and reach out to apply an open-palmed strike with her other hand. On contact her palm would emit a burst of electricity, shocking Black Mage if he were hit.

"Décharge!"

p_1d20+3 (Raffine's critical Décharge! Does 8% Damage and paralyzes Black Mage if it hits.)

Raffine then followed this up by shifting on her heel and swinging her leg up to try and pound Black Mage with a mighty roundhouse kick! Oh right. There were those legs of a proper lady she promised. Right there. Her body shifted with her leg until she was left facing away from Black Mage after landing, only to immediately use her momentum to throw herself into another sweeping round house kick!

Link and Black Mage paid little attention to Ballyhoo and Big Top as they focused on Peach and Raffine. They were already focused on the battle and the same seemed to apply to the girls. Peach seemed to suddenly get angry which surprised Link... More than her catching on fire due to rage. That fire looked burning hot and Link definitely did not want any part of it. Getting burned would make putting physical might into his attacks harder which would ruin this weapon's strength.

With this observation in mind, Link knew putting priority into blocking these attacks would be helpful in the long run. Link put up his hands in a defensive stance as Peach came down on him. A green bubble shield covered his body as Peach's burning fury bounced off along with her followup attack as Link's shield and guantlets took the burn for him. He already felt his blocking start to wear but those strikes were important to the warrior to deflect. He was not as agile as he usually is while wearing them afterall... Speaking of agility. "Wow! You really know how to get things heated up!" Link said as his scarf flowed and rose with the heat.

Black Mage meanwhile seemed to have his own girl to deal with. He analyzed as she came at him with a punch.... And he immediately flinched from the feint before the real blow landed... And hit a blue bubble instead of him... BM slowly opened his eyes and noticed he deflected the blow... How long was he capable of doing that? It was awfully tiny now though so he doubted he could pull that off again. Oh right, better play it off. He jumped back to dodge the followup kick before giving a taunt. "Hah! Your physical powress is no match for a Black-AGH!" the sinister mage began to taunt until he fell for the sweep kick and the frail wizard fell back and landed on his bum.

"... Right... Take this! Bio!" Black Mage called right before firing a poisonous venom... Right at Raffine's feet? Was he even trying to hit her? "Stone!" Black Mage continued as he raised his hand and a Stalagmite suddenly attempted to launch out of the ground under her feet and skewer her with the Bio he contaminated the ground with.

p_1d20+5(Bio on Raffine does 9% damage with a 50% chance to poison if it hits)

Link looked back from Peach for a moment as he heard stone rising... Sounds like his partner gave him an opportunity. "Your firey rage thing is pretty cool but let me show you some real power!" Link stated as he put his Chain and Chomp along the ground and then sweeped it in a sweeping motion to try and knock Peach off balance. The Hero of Hyurle then jumped back against Black Mage's Stone Spell and held his hands back as he tried to pull the spiky rock out of the ground. After exerting enough strength he proceeded to try and throw the poison tipped Stalagmite with his throwing power.

Raffine's face just kind of twisted in disgust as Black Mage deposited a glob of grossness at her feet, blocking the nastiness with her orange bubbleshield. She was honestly not so much afraid of the attack as she was afraid it would ruin her shoes. Ick. What was this, some kind of insult to nature? Was Shaymin in the audience and he was trying to bait her into reflexively solarbeaming the ground she stood on? Raffine just kind of shook her head at Black Mage, leaning forward gesturing to him as if to ask what exactly that was supposed to be.

As if on cue, a stalagmite abruptly burst from the ground and struck her from below, which is a polite way of saying it jabbed her on the bottom. A loud shriek was heard as Raffine abruptly shot into the air in cartoonish fashion. One could see the rage and indignance in the way she flailed, protectively guarding her bottom with her hands as if afraid another rocky spire might invite itself out of nowhere. Luckily for Raffine's Dignity, no such second spire came and she soon landed nearby. Only after she regained her senses did her eyes finally lock back onto her opponent, now filled with a newfound rage.

"What's the big idea, hitting me below the belt like that?! You creep!" Raffine shouted.

Her lip trembled with anger as she considered her options. She could A, develop a newfound fear of the ground, or B, beat Black Mage until the ground stopped frightening her. Her heart, and her bottom, was telling her to go with B. Shifting back into a fighting position, Raffine rushed Black Mage and leapt into the air, twisting her body in mid-air and sending herself into a spin. A coating of frosty magic surrounded her legs as she attempted to pelt Black Mage with a flurry of kicks.

p_1d20+3 (Raffine's Grêle; Does 8% Damage and has a 10% Chance of freezing the foe)

Raffine almost seemed to float in the air in defiance of gravity as she moved, an illusion caused by the sheer speed of her strikes. She then finished off her flurry of kicks with a heel drop, attempting to use the extra power behind this last kick to stagger Black Mage, making it more difficult for him to dodge what she was planning next.

p_1d20+3 (Raffine's Heal Drop; Does 16% Damage)

Following this, Raffine sassily strutted her way up to Black Mage, closing what little distance she'd built and moving in to grab him! "Let's see how well you fare without your magic." Raffine remarked rather sassily. She was, of course, assuming that Black Mage couldn't cast spells if he couldn't speak. That was how it worked for most of the mages in her world anyway.

Raffine would then shove his head down betwixt her knees if she managed to get ahold of him, wrapping her thighs around his neck and dropping him by throwing her weight to the ground, putting him in a scissor hold! The magewould find that his breathing was being restricted by Raffine's hold--or more accurately he wouldn't be able to breathe. Panicking and struggling would probably deplete his oxygen supply faster, while submitting to the hold would likely give Black Mage's partner some extra time to give him a hand.

Meanwhile, Peach had a lot better luck not making a fool out of herself. The question was whether she could execute a plan that matched up to her partner's. Peach deftly danced out of the way of Link's attack, the flames dissipating from around her body as her rage vibe wore off. In the wake of her rage was left a pleasant smile, as if she'd never been angry at all. ...Talk about mood swings. Her vibe powers were, of course, artificial emotions. They didn't actually reflect her own feelings, but it was still a bit of an odd transition to make. "Thanks~! Perry and I make a good team, don't we?" Peach asked, winking at Link disarmingly.

The moment would pass however and the princess rushed Link in her high heels. She honestly wasn't very fast, probably because of aforementioned heels, but she seemed to move through life at her own tempo. The princess ran right at Link, stretching out her arms and evoking a heartsplosion from her palms! A burst of pink, girly magical hearts burst forth, threatening to bowl Link over.

p_1d20+5 (Peach's Critical Heartsplosion; Does 27% damage)

Peach then attempted to take advantage of the force of the explosion by rhythmically spinning on her heels and attempting to hip check Link while he was off balance. She didn't seem to be taking the fight seriously. ...Did she ever?

[Mr. Game & Watch]

“HOO-ah! That was quite the intense intro! Welcome, bros and not-so-bros. Seems the match has already FALCON kicked itself off! It’s only begun and already robe man’s taken a major hit to the glutes! Guy’s gonna need to do some mad squats to build that muscle back up! HOO! Just thinking about it makes me want to do some myself!”

“Oh please, that small fry doesn’t have toned muscle on his entire body. Just look at him, he’s a magic user, a baby that uses flashy tricks instead of raw power. Pft, he wouldn’t have lasted a single day in the military. Just look at that performance, taunting his opponent just as she’s about to hit him. I bet you that chucklehead Ballyhoo’s not even going to doc that guy on points for being a moron on the battlefield. I’m telling you, all these other judges are jokes. Funky Kong? At least that grinning gorilla’s got military experience, he’s still a loud mouthed idiot, but there’s… would you please stop squatting.”

“No way bro, gotta work on those glutes. I could be sitting in that chair, but this match is reminding me the importance of my rear on the battlefield. If I’m gonna be falling on my buttocks I need it to be toned enough so that I’ll spring back up! They won’t see it coming!”

“That is an… interesting tactic.”

“As you were saying though, I think we gotta give Ballyhoo the benefit of the doubt. He’s watched enough matches here to tell the difference between a good and a bad fighter! Sure, he might not get this first one right, might not get the second one either, but life is about trial and error! The true way to become the best is to start by being the worst! Let me tell you all a story about 7 year old Falcon!”

“This is a fight, not story time. If Ballyhoo can’t do my job right, the least I can do is do his job right… Which he never did right in the first place.”

“C’mon, man! This is a good story!”

“Look at the flurry of those cold looking kicks. That Raffine girl looks to be handling her own very well. Her technique of putting the pressure on that frail magic man seems to be really working out in favour of her team. Seems more like two fights going on simultaneously rather than a team fight so far, but at least that girl knows where to hit first. Wouldn’t you agree?

*Pouts*

“I said how’re those kicks?”

“…Yeah, they are really cool.”

[Coolshaymin]

(Due to the sheer number of rolls, I rolled off site and will say the results for every roll)
(Rolls for first Light Combo hit is 4+2=6, third hit is 15+2=17, and Heels of tenacity is 20+2=22)

Black Mage got hit by the first impact of the chilling strikes of the kicking girl hard and stepped back just as he was getting used to standing. It's not like he intended to hit her booty, though that was a nice bonus. Still, she was really mad with the act and BM had to dance through the blows. That second blow was coming too swiftly however so he bought some time by projecting the blue bubble shield once again. He took it with the shield before sweeping past the final strike. He swiftly jumped back to dodge the final followup... Or at least so he hoped. Brutal girls were a pain.

(12+2=Not escaping the hips)

Black Mage got grabbed as he was not swift to dodge that in addition to the barrage of strikes. He had to deal with the embarrasing hip position. It was not like he had the strength to overpower this girl to get out of it. Besides, she seemed to forgot this was a DOUBLES fight. Holding him still like this would make her an incredibly easy target. As dumb as he was, he doubted the Hylian would allow him to be out of commission too long. So, he was going to enjoy the moment while it lasted.

(19-2=Impossible, 8-2=5)

Link looked back a little distracted as his partner was put into a leghold. Well, this was not a one on one so only one half fighting would make this a boring match. "You sure are. However, there is more to you in this team. Same here," Link pointed out. He allowed himself to be hit by the Heartplosion coming from Peach's palms. Sure, he could of blocked it with his bubble Shield, but the force would of most definitely broke it and he wanted to keep it on hand just in case. The Hylian instead used the momentum from the blow to catch the ground and backflip back and closer to the other two combatants. Link went against the current flow of fighting by making a grab for Raffine to pry her off his partner and toss her at her own partner.

(12+5=17 Playing with Power grapple and throw to toss Raffine at her partner and off his)

[Mari]

Black Mage's thought process was pretty accurate. Raffine wasn't going anywhere in a hurry with his head trapped betwixt her thighs. Yet, there was ... a far more important detail he probably should have been more privy to. She had a hostage. Raffine smirked in amusement at the mage's struggles, quite literally lounging there King Dedede style as she continued squeezing the life out of him.

((Continued Ciseaux; Does 16% Damage))

It might not be doing much for Black Mage's ego, but it was doing wonders for hers. "What's the matter? You like this kind of stuff~?" Raffine ridiculed in response to Black Mage's rather weak resistance. She was trying to goad him into struggling even harder, which would quickly exhaust his currently limited oxygen supply. It would take maybe... a minute for her to knock him out? A little less? Unfortunately, that wasn't to come to pass.

PAOPyW96p_1d20+2 (Raffine's Reaction Speed)

Raffine's eyes snapped to Link and she moved quickly, summoning her unexpectedly great strength and very respectable dexterity to lift herself into a headstand, bodily dragging Black Mage in a frankly comical manner as she demonstrated a blatant disregard for maneuvers safe to pull off in a mini skirt. It was all good, right? She had a mage there to protect her modesty, after all! The warrior lass then pumped her arms, throwing herself through the air to juke Link's attack! She then pulled her knees close to her body and ever so gracefully... butt slammed Black Mage as she came down. As if to rub salt in the wound, Peach abruptly decided to start playing for the team and bestowed a rage vibe on Raffine upon her landing.

p_1d20+3 (Raffine's... Posterior Pummel; Does 16% damage and has a 100% chance of burning. Black Mage is freed from the Ciseaux grapple following this attack)

One of the unintended side effects of Peach's rage vibe, however, was that Raffine was no longer satisfied with stroking her own ego. She was mad, and the (seemingly) helpless and probably scorched mage underneath her no longer felt like a satisfying target. Raffine got to her feet, her gaze locked on Link, only for Peach's voice to grab her attention.

"Oh Raffine!" Peach called, waving to her partner from not far behind Link. Apparently, she had simply followed Link over when he'd split to chase down Raffine. "Let's get him, sister~" Peach quickly continued in a light-hearted tone, striking an adorably improper combative pose.

((Peach's Sis Moves; She and Raffine gain a +2 to their attack rolls and 3% bonus damage when working together to take down an enemy.))

...Raffine's gaze locked on Link again. Hurting him? Yeah, that was something she could do. She was going to do it anyway, honestly. The flaming bruiser bumrushed Link. If ever an intimidating battlecry had ever left a teenage girl's throat, it was the ferocious yell that left Raffine as she charged Link. Could the triforce of courage really prepare you for something so delightfully absurd yet terrifying? Raffine pulled her arm back to strike Link, but rather than punch him directly she aimed to hook her arm around his neck and clothesline him, violently flooring him in the process!

p_1d20+5 (Raffine's Critical Clothesline! Does 29% Damage, has a 100% chance of burning and knocks Link over if it hits)

Peach would then follow this up by attempting to step over the fallen hero, smiling knowingly at no one in particular. She was actually quietly musing to herself that she would actually enjoy hearing the rest of Captain Falcon's story, butt--See what I did there? Butt, she would have to save her curiosity for another time. Peach promptly pulled her legs out from underneath her to try and perform a butt slam of her own on Link!
