[Mimi The Mochi!]

You are Teleos.

And you...Have been getting dragged halfway across li.

No matter how much Teleos would tell Mimi he's fine with coming to help her, the Mochi seemed just intent as ever on dragging him until his arm was threatening to come loose of its socket, That was, until they finally reached the Star Meadows after the long run, Culminating in a blue light that circulated the sky...

"See! Paradox Rift,Right there!" Mimi said, pointing to the glowing Clock-shaped energy in the sky, which pulsed and circulated periodically, as the Clcok's hands circulated on a constant loop. And as the Clock hand's kept meeting each other...



CRRCK!

KSSH!



A Crack in the very reality of the Air, would suddenly burst open, as a little monster, Just as the ones thats have occasionally popped up around Li, quickly appeared and began scuttling around.



"So, Real short lesson on Paradox Rifts, Basically there holes in the timeline that can cause Paradox Fiends, or creatures that dont exist in any timeline, to enter it, Like a portal! And the only way to close it, is to send the person who opened it back through, or knock them out! Sooo, We just gotta beat up there little fiends here, and the big bad oughta show themselves soon!" Mimi quickly explained rushedly, as she looked to see yet another crack, burst through and create...



"C-R-R-R-R-K!"

"Oh, and if you have questions on our enemies, be sure to ask me, since i got the knowhow~ That there's a Castellum! Kinda like if a Turtle and a Frog had a baby, that liked to eat raw time energy"

And suddenly, the Castellum uses its giant ripping teeth to gobble up a close by Sussuri.


"...And other Paradox Fiends! You cant get through it hitting with raw strength, try being selective with your targeting!"

Ow ow ow. That was all of his arm. Mimi had a way of snagging Teleos like this, and hell, he didn't mind it half the time, but this..? This was a little much considering he'd already agreed to help, and how she'd nearly kidnapped him before. Her insistence inspired him to be a little more protective. This girl'd be useful when he made it around to fighting Aki once and for all.

For now, the rift.

Teleos strides into the open, standing among the fields as he watches the rift begin to open. He's stoic, calm. His soul is steeled, and Teleos waves a hand out, that blue-ish phantasm appearing behind him as his other self. It cracks its knuckles, rising. To an outsider, it was another being - to him? It was just a part of his body. No inhibition, no thoughts, no feelings. It was a puppet of his will, a being tethered to its master.

A smile crosses his lips as Mimi explained. Perfect. Time to show her what being a Vessel was all about.

"No worries. We have this."

So Teleos casually strides forward, thumbs in his pocket. The Astral Guardian, however, surges forward like a bat out of hell, surging out to target each individual Sussuri with a whirlwind of blows..!

(Teleos' soul flares to life on the third hit! The third one is targeted by Tendency to Fight again, but combines the two rolls, 8 and 2, thanks to Spirits Are Unbreakable! 1 of 2 Soul Power used this turn.)

As the being tears through the ranks, hit or miss, it throws its leg up, and drops its foot down full force down towards the last one. This being was ready to rock and roll, and tear down whatever stood in its path to the biggest being.

p_1d20+4
(Tendency to Fight - Medium version on the last Sussuri. Deals 16% damage on hit.)

With that out of the way, he stands back, watching as the large being looms before him... That massive beast was ready to devour him whole if he hesitated..! At that? He just wouldn't hesitate. The Saint of Might blasts forward like a rocket, throwing his hands out, ready to throw a myriad of punches out at the large beast, that Castellum.

And all Teleos does is scoff at it.

p_1d20+3
(Ocean of Fists at the Castellum. Deals 4 hits of 5% damage each!)

The blows were coming out fast, like a machine-gun fire. Mimi might sense some time-manipulation here in the attacks, each hit was a burst of five punches, separated into four bursts. He was hitting faster than someone could even see! The blur of winded strikes ends as soon as it begins, and Teleos stands ready to make his move to evade if need be, or to command Saint of Might to move as well.

"Mimi! All yours!"

With each of Teleos's hits, Each of the Four Sussuri were quickly dispatched, as the Castellum's hard shell was smashed apart by a rapid set of blows, Each striking at the White, Slightly soft internal holding pieces of the shell were broken apart with each flurry of  punches smashing it apart, able to easily get inside of the squishy internals within! , as the Beast bellowed out a pained cry of sheer agony as its armored chunky shell fell apart into pieces, And with the call of 'Mimi! All Yours!' The Mochi would leap past Teleos and Try to deliver a Dynamic looking flying kick into the exposed flesh!


eGPbg4E2p_1d20+2=20! (18% Damage!)

And sticking the landing perfectly in the exposed shell of the beast, Piercing the flesh and landing back on the other side, throwing up a 'V' with her fingers as the Castellum, as well was the brutalized sussuri began to evaporate into Etherial Crystals of Time Essence, Floating and fading away into the Ether.

"Awesome work, Teleos! Looks like were just getting weak ones! A few more short moves like that and we'll be home--"

CRACK!

CRACK!!!

T H U M P!!!




And like that, Two Large Lizard-like Monsters suddenly appeared behind Mimi, salivating onto her very shoulder!

"...s-short?"

(Mimi! Tail slap incomin'! 17% Damage or Roll a 10 to dodge!)


p_1d20+2=11 (Just barely!)

Mimi Leapt back to the Side of Teleos, The Giant Lizard Monsters standing up as they began to encircle the two patrollers, There mouth's cackling a Hyena-like chortle at them. "Well, These are called Bellua's!" Mimi quickly explained. "Pretty dumb, but pretty strong physical wise!"

And that was all that Teleos would get, Before one lunged at him, and looked to clamp its teeth into his shoulder!


(Teleos! Roll 12 to dodge, or take 15% Damage from a ferocious bite!)

"Hey! Bad dog!" Mimi would say, suddenly trying to fire a Blast of Blue-colored Energy at the attacking lizard monster!

p_1d20+2=3


...It flies off into the sky. The Bellua laughs at Mimi's attempt.

As you fight...The Heat in the air rises.

(Roll to avoid the bite!)
wrv0qPJ8p_1d20+1
(Success!)

Teleos remains still, but Saint of Might grabs him in a sudden, swift streak and throws its master back, who lands perfectly solid. Saint moves back around into an offensive stance just as he spies the beast laughing at his friend. A scowl returns to his face, and his teeth grit in the face of such a thing. 

"Ever heard of manners, you oaf?!"

He shoves his hand forward, a direct command to his Astral Guardian to surge out and in the direct path of the Bellua. It was time for one of the worst beatings this thing could likely ever receive from the fists of someone. The cerulean warrior commanded by his master winds up..!

p_1d20+3
(Ocean of Fists! 5% in 4 Hits! Good luck avoiding this, Bellua.)

The wild flurry of blows was a hit and run, most likely if it landed. The machine-gun fists came and went, and the stream of blows was likely to cause a few hairline fractures. Teleos wasn't playing around as he commands his Guardian for another whirling movement. He drew it back after the initial strike, trying to reposition his familiar.

p_1d20+3
(Celestial Crusher at the Bellua. If it hits, 16% damage is dealt and its next roll to avoid or resist is a -1 against Saint of Might.)

Teleos grins and points straight up, calling out "WEAVE IT!" to his Guardian. It obeys without question, weaving its position under the Bellua, phasing into the ground before surging out from behind the beast, and performing a two-footed dive towards its skull. Or... whatever its head was inside. Hit or miss, the Guardian surges back around for a finale. 

p_1d20+3p_1d3
(THE WORLD STOPS! If this skill succeeds, the Bellua is briefly halted in time, lowering its next dodge threshold after the two he threw out to be a -3! This means its next attack it has to dodge vs Mimi is at a -3.)
(Adding 11+1 to 12, thanks to Soul Power. 1 of 2 used this turn.)

The world almost halts for a moment, a major power of Saint of Might's is unleashed as it raises a hand, palm open, towards the Bellua. "NOW STAY RIGHT THERE!" Teleos called out, raising his hand as well, and the combined forces of him and his Guardian uttered an incredibly loud time distortion just as he spoke. For a few moments, if the Bellua didn't get out of the way right then and there, it would be locked in time. "Mimi! Give it hell!"

There was a sense of anger in him, and Teleos' burning spirit was manifesting as a yellowed aura around his body. He was in the full swing of his powers..!

[Mimi The Mochi!]

Teleos's Astral Guardian manages to clobber the chortling beast, silencing its Hyena giggle  with a face-full of Fists, as the monster reeled its beaten head back, sent flying backwards, And with the forceful slam down into the ground, the beast slammed back down, its Rubber-like outer skin acting much like the comparing material, as the beast bounced from the floor and maintained a fairly decent bounce, As Mimi watched the bouncing monster flying over her own head, gasping in a 'Wooooww~!' , Before suddenly...

...The Sound of Time Distortions! ...Mimi looked at Teleos with a firm pout.



"Minor Paradox! Oooohhh, your so lucky this is such a bigger thing to worry about, or i'd be givin' you such a--"

...Oh. Right. Should probably hit that thing. 



"You're gettin' SUCH  a talking to when we get back! Im so mad, imma take it out on this Bellua!"

Mimi would Say, Before suddenly flinging her fist back, as the Long Baby Blue Appendage flew past Teleos, barely missing his face, and...


XjzChq36p_1d20+2=18 (Using all three actions on this taffy stretch! Thats 26% Damage!)

WHAM! With a slam of force, Directed more as a Sling right into the monster's head, Mimi's fist flung back into her body and slammed down with all of that telekinetic force, as the Monster slammed into the Dirt, Teeth flying off of it's mouth, as the wounded monster, once free of the Time Division, Stumbled about with its fractured bones and broken body unable to properly help it move about, as it struggled onto its feet, as it could only hardly muster up the strength to try and spit a blue fireball at Teleos!

( Teleos! Dodge Check of 5, or take 17% Damage!)

As for the other of the Two Bellua, It seems this one didnt have much care for its currently broken brother, as it merely chortled once again, and stepped back...Only to run at Teleos full force, Curling up into a Ball-like Shape, And Spinning with its spikey Spine, spinning into him with its sharp Exo-skeleton!

(Teleos! Dodge Check of 12, or take a 20% Damage!!)

(Ouch)

Teleos himself had been expecting the beast to go for Saint of Might, and was unable to recall his Guardian in time as the fireball came hurdling in. "Yeah, yeah! I know, Mimi, I-" He was struck, mid-sentence, sent skidding back as his Guardian came to his aide, swooping to his side and lifting him by the waist before charging backward to try and evade the second strike...


p_1d20+1
(Barely!)

Teleos narrowly avoids the followup from the second Bellua, being whipped out to the side as Saint threw its master overhead, and away from the rolling creature. As he's tossed and lands onto the ground, heels dug in to prepare for the greatest beating he'd likely deliver to any sort of beast, he points his right index finger out, left index and middle fingers to his forehead. The stance of a warrior. A fighter. A Vessel. "SAINT! NOW!"

p_1d20+3
(ORAORAORA! Ocean of Fists at the weakened Bellua, dealing 5% damage in 4 bursts of rapid-fire punches! You know the drill. It's likely to kill.)

Just as he commands this, he begins, and menacingly at that, approaching the other Bellua, clothes still a little singed from the blast he just received. Teleos was furious, and beyond angered by what these two were doing not just to him, but to Mimi. Hit or miss, Saint of Might returns to float behind Teleos. 

"Now you? You're dead."

He cracks his knuckles, the Astral Guardian behind him rolling its neck. The series of pops were daunting, even with the atmosphere of the battlefield so far. An aura of life, of will to live, and of strength, flares to life in his veins, filling Teleos with a sense of determination and power. It wasn't his healing ability, no, but it was definitely motive to give this thing a walloping for laying a hit on Mimi. Was Teleos getting protective?

"Hitting me? Eh, but you hurt my friend there. Afraid you're just gonna meet your maker. I wonder though..."

That surge of energy transfers to his Guardian, who rises up, flexing its arms to display the definition in its form. The pulse sends a small wave through the battlefield.

"...How bad's this gonna hurt?"

With that, Saint surges over Teleos' head, dropping close to the ground as it ducks its right arm in... Then it lets loose! Left left right! Two jabs and a straight right, right at the second Bellua's snout. Teleos was going for rattling blows, in order to set up for meaner hits. Either that or he was just really angry. Likely the latter.


p_1d20+4

(Tendency to Fight x3 at the beast. 6% damage each hit.)

Next came a killer hook. Saint of Might swings its arm out and forward, that right fist swinging out to curve and slam into the Bellua's jaw. The motion was snapped, fluid, and came out like lightning! "DIE, DAMN YOU!"


p_1d20+4
(Tendency to Fight Medium at the beast. Deals 16% Damage on hit)
p_1d5
(Soul Power used! Boosting the attack's damage by the given roll. In this case, 3%, meaning the Bellua will take 19% Damage by this attack on hit.)

With that hook out of the way, Saint of Might surges backward to Teleos' side, swift as the wind as he stood ready. The two quickly are placed beside Mimi, and Teleos gives her a brief glance over, offering simply, yet directly. "Mimi, you good? I'll give it a second dose if you need to take five."

This boy was something else, wasn't he?

[Mimi The Mochi!]

(Bellua 1 Down!)

With the first Bellua sent flying in a clobbering, Smashing mess of fists, The Blue lizard would fly off in a pummeled mess, Smashing apart into a blue-crystaline air upon hitting the ground, as the Second Bella was equally smashed aside by the Astral Guardian's attack, This time bouncing once it had hit the ground with a sizable bounce!, as the Bellua stood back up, Its tongue rolling out and panting.

[img src="https://i.imgur.com/AqzLqMc.png"]

"Hah! Im good, not a scratch on me yet~" Mimi would say, Giving a thumbs-up to Teleos, as she looked down the second Bella eagerly.

"Now then, Time to break out something fun! Bluberry--!"

...And suddenly, The Bella would scream out in agony, letting out an ear piercing screech, As suddenly, Its Back would rip apart, What looked to be the Giant Horn of a Hercules beetle ripping through its body, followed by the giant wings of a cicada had spontaneously mutated out of the monster's flesh, And ripped it back clean open in a bloody display!

(Bellua 2 Defeated!)

"...Uuuhm...I didnt know i could do that." Mimi would say, as the Second Bellua began to separate and evaporate again...


"Ooohh, No no no...That would be me, Novia~"



...A Tall man, Slender, Lanky and wearing some rather sleezy clothes emerged from the tree's, Shrugging his hands. His hair was shaggy and long-- Looking uncombed and unkempt, and his smile was rather sleezy, his ears modified to look like an elves, but the scarring of body modification work was clear.

But most potently, Teleos, Would be able to see something else. This man had an Aura about him, Something powerful and familiar loomed over him, Like the divine arms of a guardian...



An Astral Guardian.

"Ahhh, So you must be the famous Teleos that Aki went on so often about! Honestly, i was expecting alot more....I dunno, Muscle? You just plain dont look the type i was expecting." He would say, Cracking the bones in his neck.



"I know, right? I was expecting him to look like a honey comb when i first smelled him, but now he's just a dude!"


"And you're Mimi! Well, Well, Well~ This is just a great day for me, huh? Two birds in one stone!" The man would say, laughing happily. 

"Ahem...I dislike having no manners, so, I will grant you both my name. I, am 'Enigo Van Chres.' I have orders from my superiors to offer this deal of a lifetime just once, and then we can do one of two things. Wanna work for the Time Crashers?"



"What the-- Time Crashers?! You mean that half-baked Paradox Causing scheme ran by Tower?! Teleos, Dont listen to him, He's a Paradox Causer!!"


"Oh come on now, i havent even wrecked a timeline yet....Still, Sure as hell beats working with Aki. Tower saved my neck...But, Ill tell you right now, If you dont wanna work with the Time Crashers...My next order, is to kill you both. So...What'll it be, Teleos?"

(( Teleos's Astral Guardian Senses are ringing in his ear...If he attempts to attack this man, He will need to make a CON Roll of 15...Or else, suffer the effects of the mysterious astral guardian.)))

[Deleted]

"Mimi! That's a-"

Teleos grits his teeth and stands his ground, flaring his own Guardian to life and back to his side. That pulse of unreal power surges through him, matching his foe's. This wasn't going to be an easy battle. It was going to be a long and grueling fight to the death. He quickly tries to catch Mimi up to speed.

"That guy's a Vessel, like me. Figures, Aki always hires the feminine ones." Teleos spat. "If what he's saying is true - there's more Vessels on Li than I thought. Either he was struck by the arrow, or somehow this sleazeball developed one. This guy's bad news."

The Saint's Vessel squares his stance, and points his finger out to the Enemy Vessel with clear purpose. Saint of Might flexes out, growing ever stronger as he gets ready to clobber this snotball into the dirt..!

"Time Crashers? Lame name, by the way. I'm fine with where I'm at. You worked with Aki, though, so that means you're going down. Saint!"

Saint of Might barrels into range, getting ready to deliver a beefy blow..! Of course, that's when his head begins to ring, and hard. Something was interfering!


MCackGHsp_1d20+1
(Guardian Power resisted!)

Using sheer force-of-will, Teleos breaks through with his guardian, and begins the offensive. Saint of Might moves a swift set of hits first and foremost. Three quick strikes, left right left. Each swing carried tremendous force behind them for mere jabs..!

p_1d20+4p_1d20+4p_1d20+4p_1d5
(Tendency to Fight at Enigo - dealing 6% Damage per hit. The highest hit in the grouping of blows is boosted by Soul Power, dealing 4% Additional Damage.)

Notably, when in this state versus another Vessel, Saint of Might made audible "RAH"s every swing..! Likely some sort of reaction when facing another Astral Guardian. Regardless, Teleos draws the Saint of Might back and digs his heel in, thrusting a hand forward, ordering the Guardian to fly forward for that signature rain-of-blows..! Following the rush was a loud cry, "REYEYEYEYEEYEEAAAAAAGH!"

p_1d20+3
(Ocean of Fists at the same guy - Dealing 5% damage in 4 'hits')

The rain of gunshot-like fists flies out, before, and rather than ending off with a larger hit, Teleos seemed to back off, and draws energy from that incredible willpower..! To Enigo - this is exactly what Aki warned him about - Teleos was fast, unforgiving, and sure of himself.

"Feminine? Well Tonta, You're not exactly the face of masculinity yourself." Enigo would say, As he Smirked. "So come on, Cabrona!" Enigo demanded of Aki, as he pushed through the boundary of Enigo's Boundary, which, Suddenly made the Spanish man gasp in shock! "Oh Hell--"

The Left and Right hook struck Enigo's stomach suddenly, However, Enigo's Astral Guardian suddenly blocked the secondary left fist, Its claw grabbing the left hand, Glaring down at the Saint of Might. However, Teleos's Barrage of fists hit dead on, Clobbering Enigo quite brutally and sending him flying into a Nearby Tree, Where he embedded himself rather deep! 

"G-gAH!!" Enigo cried out, as Mimi let her approval be known loud and clear!



"Yahoo! That was alot of big talk for getting smacked down like that!" Mimi would call out, as Enigo would slowly pick himself up...


...Before Smirking.

"You guys do realize you lost already, right?" He would ask, Letting out a low chuckle as he pressed his hand to the ground. "Maybe if we were in the Hyrule Crater, or your hellhole city, Maybe you had a chance! But, You dont realize...Your surrounded."

"My Guardian, Flatwood Devil, Can Mutate and consume all life it see's...And tell me. What are you all standing in?"




"..Hey Teleos? I think you punched his brain out, Cause, He cant see were standing in Grass."


....


....




"...Oh."


"Bingo, Chica! FLATWOOD DEVIL!"

With that call, Suddenly, 10 or so Individual blades of grass surrounding Teleos and Mimi would explode, Transforming into giant Scorpion Stingers, Which reeled back and stabbed at the both of them from almost every angle besides above!

Mimi and Teleos! A Array of Scorpion Stingers are coming after you! Roll a 15 in DEX To Avoid, Or else, Take 10% Damage, and roll for Poison affliction!

h65SFrvUp_1d20+2=21 

Mimi very quickly struck a very wild and crazy pose, as each of the stingers would not stab her directly. However, Emerging from the ground, Suddenly, Born from the mutated roots and grass, Emerged several Monstrosities from the earth!

2x Chimera Plant-Scoprions Join the Fray!

"Hahaha! And for the grand reveal--" Enigo would say, Placing his palm upon the Tree just a few moments ago, Causing the tree to suddenly Mutate as well, Into the form of a Devouring Tree!!

1x Chimera Tree!

"Now-- Kill the damn Astral Guardian User!"


With that, The Two Scoprions would hop up onto there hindlegs, Jumping at Teleos to try and stab him through his neck!

As the Chimera Tree would raise its roots out of the ground, And Try to slam them down onto Teleos as well!

Teleos! You'll need to make three dex checks, Two of them are 10, and the last one is 12. If you fail the first two tens, you'll take 10% Damage each. However, Failing the 12 will deal 12% Damage, and Grapple you with a STR Check of 12.

"Hey! Knock it off!" Mimi would demand, Suddenly letting loose a barrage of blasts at Enigo in retaliation!
