"Huh, the stadium."

The stadium is not much of a unfamiliar place to Takumi, as he has already done a few visits there to watch some of the Life Sphere citizens duke it out. But, this is the first the he is actually one of the person to duke it out with someone else.



Takumi sighed, "I suppose a bit of a stretch for my archery skills could be nice."

However the situation was for the people who come to the arena for a good challenge, none of them were prepared as a certain purple haired 16 year old girl came in from the freaking front door.

"Looks like I came on a good day. The audience looks cheerful and could be ready to get their battle fix... I swear, their being adicted to this is like my RPer being addicted to video games." the girl said subtly lampshading my fond love of actually being a video game enthusiast. At least until she encountered who she was going to face in the arena. "already feeling some form of nostalgia, and I run into somebody who can pass for Bolo. Who might you be I wonder. she added as an afterthought, her eyes locked on the boy before her, the crowd taking notice of the girl almost immediately after they took their seats whilst waiting for the referee to come out of nowhere.

An audience filled with immense hype? Two fighters ready to do what they do best!? Well, there was only one… man(?) for the job, along with his sometimes beloved sidekick. Where were they though? It was almost like it was a game for the audience, from what crevasse would the troublesome duo emerge from in order to set the match up. Little did they know, they weren’t going to emerge from the ground like they usually did, but rather from the sky!

A mismatch of garish neon colours rocketed through the air above the stadium. What could it possibly be? The better question was who it could possibly be!? The object quickly crashed into the dusty floor of the colosseum, scattering dirt around the area. From the crater of the crash site was none other than Ballyhoo himself taking a bow as the audience scratched their heads as they wondered how he possibly survived that landing.

“You’re lucky I keep Heart Containers underneath me…” his unexpressive hat stated in a fairly bored manner for someone who just dropped out of the sky.

“Oh Big Top! Luck has nothing to do with it! Without further ado, we have a show to commence!” the little creature shouted as he performed some sort of jig as he slid toward the two contestants. Without much compare, the two easily tower over him, even with his hat adding to his measurement, but he still made his presence known. His voice was probably bigger than both of theirs combined.

“Well isn’t this a grand day for a fight!?”

“…What makes it different from any other day?”

“GASP! You shock me, Big Top! How could you forget that today is my birthday!? For this special birthday bash, we will be allowing what you kids call Final Smashes! It is never the final smash! So many more things get smashed afterwards!”

“…Man, you must have been saving all your best jokes for your birthday…” Big Top replied sarcastically.

“If you thought THAT was a really knee slapper, wait until you see this match! Let’s get this show on the road!” MC Ballyhoo announced and then immediately fled from the premises.

Wait a second, out of all the people he has to face, it have to be a woman? Dang, she got a good body structure too... but no time for fantasies. Takumi shakes his head and pulls out his Fujin Yumi from his back.



"I'm Takumi, Prince of Hoshido." he introduces himself, "Nice to meet you. And you?"

Takumi starts aiming at Shantae, "I suppose we can introduce ourselves when we battle, but it might not be a fun sight for the audience, so let's keep it short." he sighed. He pulls twice, creating two cyan arrows that is flying to her.

Takumi then run up to her, with the Fujin Yumi held to the front. He let out a battle cry, "Just because you're a woman doesn't mean I will go easy on you though!" He then tackled Shantae

"And I am Shantae; half-genie hero of Scuttle Town." Shantae said while performing a bow to the young Prince... Who then attempted to shoot her with his bow, hoping to score a few hits of chip damage...
CHA ROLL: 7+5=12{my rules are not your rules invoked with the bubble shield special move, Shantae gains temporary immunity to projectile attacks for 2 turns.}

Only for the wind imbued arrows to be nullified by a projectile blocking barrier that Shantae had erected in the form of a large soap bubble...
DEX ROLL: 6+2=8{ouch... Bad roll.}

Only for the half-genie to take the first hit from a bow bash. "I think that would be a polite way to go about this, though I wouldn't get cocky if I were you. Karma can screw people over if they aren't careful." Shantae said while she began to do what nobody else could ever hope to pull off, drink an entire bottle of Sequin Land Monster Milk in one turn.
CHA ROLL: 19+5=24{near perfect, but Shantae downs an entire bottle of monster milk. +2 to STR modifier for three turns}

Followed up with a sudden jump clean into the sky whilst pulling out a cutlass, then letting the laws of sir Isaac Newton take care of the rest in the form of a downward sword strike aimed at takumi's head.
STR ROLL: 8+2+2{Monster Milk}=12{rather average downward sword strike, 12% dmg.}

After that, Shantae started to dance, and no it was not her ultimate. It was a means to appeal to the spectators watching the fight from the stands to entertain them and unnerve the opponent in one fell swoop.
appeal ROLL: 19+5=24{the dance begins to wow the crowd.}
