[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Death was astounded, who knew that his thriller dance moves could make the audience call for a better opponent for him, but in the end he would enjoy it any other way. "I think 'Last Call' would be in order, you were so close and got so far, yet your appeals aren't as useful as your fighting skill. If you continue with those shoddy appeals, you will never tackle Castlevania!" Death said with calm indifference in comparison to the audience who were booing at Tomoko, torches and pitchforks in hand.

Death would then proceed to dodge an oncoming fireball.
DEX ROLL A: 19{don't underestimate the concept of time}

He would then attempt to dodge 2 water balloons coming his way.
DEX ROLL B: 5{first aqua spell hit}
DEX ROLL C: 16{second aqua spell MISSED}

Death was amused, the only people who gave him a challenge were the Belmont Clan, yet he was not in his world anymore, and there were no belmonts here which gave him something to look forward to should one actually turn up. But this was a battle of wills, and death was gaining a good lead over Tomoko and wanted to keep that lead.

To finish up the fight, Death would get in close proximity and hit Tomoko with his scythe spinning like a saw blade thrown by a certain Robot Master.
STR ROLL A: 20+1=21{CRITICAL SPINNING SCYTHE OF DOOM @ Tomoko, 5% dmg and 100% Mortal Wound chance if it connects}

Followed by launching a jet black sphere to chill her to the bone.
WIS ROLL: 18+1=19{savagely powerful Orb of Gahena @ Tomoko, 5% dmg and 100% freeze chance if it connects}

And ending it with the Twin Sickles to chop into the body to further mess her up.
STR ROLL B: 7+1=8{weaksauce Twin Sickles @ Tomoko, 2 consecutive hits of 4% dmg if it connects}

For his last appeal, Death would Attempt to catch Ballyhoo before he impacted the ground.
Appeal ROLL: 17-3=14{a decent attempt at least}

RVM5qQWyp_1d20+2(Ow.)

p_1d20+2(Bad luck Tomoko.)

p_1d20+0(But she dodged the last one.)

p_1d20+0(And she couldn't escape, and so, the match ended sadly for Tomoko.)

Tomoko stood back from Death, not taking his taunts to heart. She got ready for her last part to attack, not even understanding what he said. "I don't even know what a castlevania is, but it sounds like a name of a pachinko machine, and something being made into a pachinko machine is an even worse punishment then being dragged to hell!" Tomoko charged towards Death, ready to unleash her final wave to attacks. Hopefully she will get enough points to beat Death and win the match at just the right moment, she dodged his twin sickles.

But his two other attacks managed to land a great hit on her, one of which stabbed into her side and she coughed in pain, grabbing her side. She failed to prevent herself from getting hit by Death's second attack, which froze her and unlike before, she couldn't escape from the ice this time.

So it sadly looked like that Tomoko will spend the last minute of the tournament sadly covered in ice.

"Well, there's always next time. I guess I can't...Cheat death." Even while frozen, Tomoko still wanted to come up with death related puns, but then she noticed that one of her hands were free and that her spellbook was on the ground in front of her blocked state. Using her hand, Tomoko preformed a final wave of spells towards Death before the minute was up, hoping that they all hit him on time.

p_1d20+5(Mafrelia > Death: If hit, he will receive 29% damage.)

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Note: In the Sunshine Stadium when your character has been frozen, they should receive a -2 to their DEX Mod. This doesn’t influence the results of the match this time, but keep that in mind for future reference considering that Tomoko’s DEX Mod seems to go unchanged despite being Frozen.

As the bombastic duo reached their maximum velocity and were about to make a major impact into the stadium, the stage crew began to wheel out what looked to be a gigantic cake and placed it directly in Ballyhoo’s trajectory, going so far as to pull out a protractor to ensure that they were in the precise spot. The ecstatic announcer began to wriggle with excitement as jiggled around in freefall, but before he could splatter into the baked goods, his freefall was paused. He closed his eyes whilst swimming in place, imagining himself wallowing in its spongy goodness. Unfortunately, as he opened his eyes once more, he found himself safely within the arms of Death. As safe as one could be in Death’s embrace anyway.

“Noo! We spent so much of our budget on that cake stunt! Everything is ruined!”

“…It’s a giant cake, it couldn’t have cost that much…”

“You need to see beyond sight, Big Top! The cake was only phase one! We were going to crash into the cake, then a secret barrel cannon hidden within was going to fire us off over that Chain Chomp Terrarium and into a pool of molten lava!”

“…I don’t see the Chain Chomp Terrarium.”

“That’s because it didn’t reveal itself yet! It was going to be a funny bit where you were going to say something like ‘at least it can’t get any worse’ and then boom! Chain Chomps!”

“Wait, then what about the lava?”

“I say lava, but at the end of it all it was going to be revealed to just be clever trickery! It was just going to a giant tanker of molten cheese!”

“…You do know that even molten cheese would burn us horrifically, right?”

“Nonsense! It was going to be the sideshow to end all sideshows, it could sell Stadium Tickets for centuries! Now its all for nothing!”

“I’m pretty sure more fantastical things have happened than that before…”

“Oh hey, you should probably dodge those attacks by the way!”

Match will be complete when Death makes his dodge rolls

HP: 85% Appeal: 70		HP: 94% Appeal: 19

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Death stood perplexed at the sight of a giant cake appeared underneath him, at least he knew not to fumble and gingerly placed Ballyhoo on top of it. "'I decide who lives and who dies', please refrain from trying to martyr yourselves ok? But hey, what can I say, at least you get to eat cake whereas I'm quite literally nothing but bone, no innards to digest foodstuffs." Death said calmly, wanting to honor the stadium rules by Not letting anyone die on his watch, this would also include Ballyhoo.

"Try actual Castle that appears during an eclipse, child. It's very much real as you and me. Death casually mentioned to Tomoko, chuckling at the thought of his master's fortress being a pachinko machine. So much so that he did his thriller dance moves to dodge the Mafrelia.
DEX ROLL A: 19{Spectacular}

Then the second to last aqua spell...
DEX ROLL B: 10{outstanding}

And finally the very definitely final aqua spell.
DEX ROLL C: 17{All I did was Press A!}

Death would have continued his assault, but decided to slice Tomoko a piece of the giant cake that she could eat, at least to ensure she had something good for her belly. He would also break her out of the ice wit a simple finger snap which shattered the ice, showing that he prefers his victims to still be ready for when they next challenge the original Grim Reaper.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Ballyhoo continued to flail his arms in distraught over the failure of his plans, though he was offered a lift down, courtesy of their boney friend. As he set down on the frosted goodness, the Master of Catastrophe scooped up a handful of the baked deliciousness and stuffed it into his mouth to sweeten the taste of his sorrows. “*MFF* So many coins down the drain! I don’t even like chocolate!”

“… Then why did you order it?”

“Wait, I ordered vanilla!”

“I’m surprised you acknowledged that inconsistency.”

Within a matter of seconds after this profound discovery, a section of the cake exploded, revealing Lt Surge and his Electrode bazooka once more. “Looks like you just got out circused” the Electric Type Gym Leader informed stoically as he placed an eye over his targeting reticle.

Nervously, MC Ballyhoo backed away, though there was no distance he could run to escape the referee’s wrath. Like a light bulb appeared above his head, the announcer’s face glowed with the brilliance of an idea! He rustled his back pocket and pulled out a Pokeball yet again, tossing it at the imposing threat with high hopes. The device merely bounced off Lt Surge’s pecks and began rolling away slowly upon impact with the ground. “…I’m pretty sure that was the wrong Pokeball…”

“How am I supposed to tell the difference!? They all look the same!”

Unimpressed, Surge squeezed the trigger and allowed for the hooligans to rocket into the skies once more. With the façade over, the referee stepped out of his cakey prison and approached the two combatants. His Magnezone came descending from the sky, each eye on the machine closely examining the fighters so that they didn’t catch it off guard and began brawling once more. He held his hands tightly behind his back and sternly gazed back and forth at the fighters. “That was certainly something, but don’t colour me impressed just yet. There’s definitely potential coming from the both of you, with that said though, I can only give out so many Tunder Badges”

“Death, you certainly held your own in this battle. You kept your wits about you and tried to keep control of the battlefield. You might have faltered a bit, but it was enough to earn you an extra Tunder Badge.”

“If I’m going to give anyone style points it would have to be Tomoko though. While I’m sure the audience was impressed by your dance moves, Death, it didn’t add anything to combat. Watching your movements was intriguing, Tomoko, the way you kept going after being constantly frozen and mortally wounded earns you a Tunder Badge.”

“Death beats you in strategy though, hands down. While not every move had a purpose, he proved to be a challenging opponent due to his move variety that constantly kept you on your toes. With Tomoko, it just seemed like you were throwing whatever attack you saw in your magic book at Death, which certainly didn’t seem to slow him down whatsoever. The Tunder Badge goes to Death.”

As he finished speaking, Surge’s magnetized minion levitated toward him. “Now let’s see how good your processing power is” he stated as he patted the Pokemon’s metal coating. “With the results of the match coming in, Magnezone will calculate your final scores, because apparently my word isn’t enough anymore. The winner of this match is…”

	DEATH	TOMOKO
DAMAGE	94	85
APPEAL	70	19
BADGES	60	30
TOTAL	224	134

“Death. I’ve been hearing plenty of disrespect being tossed around during the match, so I certainly don’t want to hear it here. Tomoko was a tough adversary, despite what the audience and final score might say. At the end of the day though, Death got the crowd’s attention and hit Tomoko where it mattered most. I’ll see you at my gym later” he concluded as he walked away from the stadium. Before he exited the building though, he turned back to gaze at Tomoko. “And I better see you there sometime soon as well.”

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Death simply bowed to Lt. Surge, then turned to Tomoko and gave a curt nod just as a thick fog rolled in, the last thing Tomoko would hear were a few words of encouragement.

"Don't feel to sad, you can use that loss to spur yourself on to better opponents than I. And gaining some new skills would not be too bad either." Death said, vanishing along with the fog to add to the mysteries that were of the unknown.

Death end presence

[Deleted]

Tomoko got up after breaking free from the ice and was stunned to find that she lost. She didn't feel this bad at losing since the last time she lost back in the locomotive when she played demonic knowledge with a group of her friends. She was in last place and she had to walk on some agi enchanted coal as punishment while her other friends got lighter punishments, those were some good times that Tomoko had with her friends.

After the results were announced Tomoko got up and looked at the cake Death offered her. "Is it poisoned?" She asked, but Death had already left. Seeing as how she should leave as well, Tomoko took the cake and walked off with her spell book under her arm, deciding to eat the cake another time, maybe when she finds this so called...
