The Stadium was unusually barren today as no one was in the stands. Instead there was nearly no signs of life aside from a rather muscular man with no shirt sitting in the center with his coat wide open, holding and swirling a glass of red substance... hopefully wine in his hand as he was impatiently waiting. A woman with cat ears and a labcoat was checking a device in front of him. "When is the meat going to get here already?! You said you would hire some people to sate my hunger!" the man called out to the woman who gave an irritated eye roll before continuing her work.

"You'll get your 'feast'. Just be patient, Mad Dog," Kokonoe said in exasperation before muttering "Where's Tager when you need him?" before fixing a few more things. "The request has probably gone through by now so you don't need to wait much longer to eat or whatever," she added before looking at the entrance. "Hope they provide enough of a distraction to stop him from wanting dessert," she said as Azrael's glare was on her back before he went back to absentmindedly swirling her wine glass.

The device was almost like a really miniture tower with a satelite on it as she finished doing some touchups. "... What are you building, anyway?" He asked after a moment. "... It's a surprise," the scientist answered simply as she finished setting up. "... Hm..."

[Dark Witch, Harbinger of Death]

A young lady on a broom landed in the stadium and stepped off, holding out a finger as if to ask for patience and reaching into the sleeve of her dress, pulling out ... a book. She promptly popped it open in her hands, looking up a few 'recipes' inside it. “...I've got to admit. When I heard you wanted me over for dinner I was a little skeptical. Dinner dates are kind of lame and cliche. But when I heard you were inviting me to the stadium, well... That's definitely an interesting way to ask a girl out on a date. I respect it. So what's a hungry boy like you see in someone like me, anyway?” Dark Witch asked, in a tone of playful amusement.

Haseo had felt a familiar air about this arena as he entered it. This feeling this wild sensation that was throbbing in his heart. This was the sense that he was about to get a real fight and Haseo reveled in it. "Well if you want a hardy meal I'll give you a taste!" Haseo said as he readied up for battle. Currently he was in his 5th form raring to go. "Nothing more satisfying than a real fight! I'm going to enjoy this." he said with a toothy grin as he drew his sword and had it right next to his side waiting for their last person to show up next.

And finally, from the entrance of the arena came the echoes of heavy metal stepping on the floor. The seven foot tall figure of Alphonse stepping out into the arena with the other two, the sun glinting off the smooth metal armor. They came to a stand besides the others and struck a pose. And then a 14 year old boy's voice came out, awkward as can be "U-uhm... Yea! Get ready to taste steel!" They took up a fighting stance, silently glad for once that their embarrassment couldn't show on their face. This was a fight right? Alphonse was less sure after hearing the other two.

Kokonoe and the Mad Dog both look to the competitors as the first to enter was a.. witch looking fellow. "..." Kokonoe raised a brow at the flirting before shaking her head and continuing her work. "A fancy dinner is boring. It's only a feast when you feel your heart pounding and the blood coursing! I got to say, traditional magic users are rare back home. It's been too long since I've had an opportunity to taste witch meat!" he declared as he got up.

"Hahaha! Now you're speaking my language, tattoo guy! No meal is more satisfying than an intense battle!" he commended Haseo's enthusiasm... Kokonoe just kind of facepalming before she lifted her device up with concentrated gravity.

And the finally dish of the full course was a large... armored man? Why did he sound like a kid then?... Screw it, doesn't matter. "Steel, huh? Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, now that I can't wait to try!" he declares. "... Right, I'm getting out of your way. Have fun with your dinner party," Kokonoe waved as her and the device vanished to the announcer's both. "Alright, now that pleasantries are out of the way... Come at me! Show me what the menu has to offer!" he declares as he held his arms wide out, a powerful red, visible energy flowing off of him and filling the arena with a distinct pressure. He then tossed his wine glass at Alphonse's face... Whether that was an honorary trophy or not to who won the flirting contest is uncertain.

Gothie listened carefully to Azrael's words, his threats igniting the magic in her blood like a wildfire. A fight or flight response was achieved. “...Witch meat? What a curious turn of phrase.” Gothie replied in amusement. “But I think you'll find that I do not go down smoothly. Boys?” Gothie went on to remark, before requesting the attention of her two companions. From her sleeves, she produced four potions, two pinched between the fingers of each hand. “Do this fair damsel a favor and crush this man.” she went on to request in a lightly sugary tone. Without warning, she spun turned and whipped the potions at her companions!!

((Gothie is tossing a couple of potions at Haseo))

((Gothie is tossing a couple of potions at Alphonse!))

((Since she's tossing 2 potions each, each character takes 10% recoil from potion overuse. She's throwing the same potions at each of them. Namely:

• Potion of Giant's Strength: This specialized potion of essence afflicts the Mega Status on the person who drinks it, raises their STR and CON stats to +5 for the purposes of rolls, and grants then 5% damage resistance for 3 turns. Additionally, they gain the ability to make an improvised crushing attack for 30% damage at a -2 accuracy penalty and the ability to devour enemies, afflicting the digestion status. However, the drinker suffers the severe fatigue status on the turn following this potion ending.
• Potion of Maddening Power: This potion of concentrated mana and energy is basically analogous to drinking a glass full of hot water mixed with dangerous narcotic stimulants. Due to the raw nature of the energy in this, even robots can absorb it. Grants a +2 to the drinker's offensive rolls and a +8 bonus to all damage done. Additionally, the user may be afflicted with berserk at their/Dark Witch's discretion. Lasts 3 turns. However, the drinker must make a CON roll each turn. If by the end of 3 turns, their rolls add up to less than 40, they take the difference as recoil damage.

))

Gothie then shifted back behind the others and pulled off her hat, shaking it in front of her a couple times before an impractically heavy looking cauldron popped out of it, landing with a thud in front of her. She then set about beginning to brew a new potion, making eye contact with Azrael the entire time she was working.

((Gothie is brewing a new potion!))

Alphonse was more unnerved by the idea of the beast trying to eat his armor than he'd likely let on, shifting uncomfortably at the idea. They didn't have much time to think on that though as the beast suddenly threw a bottle of wine at him.

Before the bottle to crash into them directly, Alphonse protected himself with his arms (50+10% taken to shields)

It wasnt long after that that two potions crashed and broke on his armor, seeming to seep into it for a moment as Alphonse winced (10% damage recoil)

---

When the mixtures seeped away completely Alphonse seemed invigorated, raising their fist infront of them again "Will do miss witch!"

And with that Alphonse ran directly at the beast, intent to take them head on it seemed!
As soon as Alphonse got close, he found himself even taller than the mad dog! Both of his arms suddenly coming up, almost like he was going to clap, just with someone's head in the way ((30+8)*1.5=57% damage if hit, -2 to hit, target Dex)

Haseo would take Azrael's words with excitement as he readied himself in a battle stance. "Now we're talking! Let's make this fun for both of us." Haseo said drawing out his Sword of Ouroboros. The Eight Segments of the sword all colored red and ready to be used right away. Before starting however Haseo was hit with two potions from the Dark Witch which empowered him just then. 

"Oooh now things are going to get good!" Haseo said with a toothy grin. 

He felt the power rush through his body as he readied his first attack to Azrael, he grew bigger but not as big as Al had. "Hope you can handle this because the Terror of Death is about to sate his appetite!" Haseo said before making a mad dash at Azrael with his Sword. 

STR Roll for Sword Mode: 12% base if it hits. 8% extra thanks to the potion making it 20% damage x 1.5 = 30% damage.

Haseo then shifted his sword into a pair of twin blades.

"Let's go! Bloom of Destiny!" 

Haseo backed up and shifted his sword once more into a large scythe. 

STR Roll for First Gate: Does 15% Damage plus 10% chance of Mortal Wound. 8% damage added to the base damage if it hits for 23% damage x 1.5 = 35% damage.

"Merciless Decapitation!" 

Haseo would not end it there however as he took a Haste action and would shift his Sword back into it's normal form and attack him once more with it. 

STR Roll for Sword Mode: 12% base if it hits. 8% extra thanks to the potion making it 20% damage x 1.5 = 30% damage.

p_1d20+2

Taking his battle ready stance Haseo would back up after all these attacks and prepared himself for more of a retaliation to come. 

"Oh don't you worry. This is only just a taste of my power." Haseo smirked as he kept his eyes on the man in front of him.

"... So you made them bigger? Fine by me! That just means there is more to munch on!" he declared as he cracked his neck in preparation. However as he mocked the large armored man he felt himself clobbered by the heavy fists. Ow, that hurt. And again. And again until he backed off a bit.... Seemingly unhurt despite the damage he accumulated, giving Al a.... hungry look that fit the name mad dog. Yeah he knew who his target was.

Azrael dodged the first sword strike by deflecting it with his arm. He then took the twin blades head on, not even flinching before he blocked the scythe swing as well with amazing precision before he took the sword head on... But did not move... instead he grabbed the sword in place and looked Haseo dead in the eyes with an ominous smile and glare as a red energy coursed through the demon. "Oh, I want more than a taste, I always make sure to finish my plate, so give it all to me!" he declared before going to hit Haseo with an extremely painful jab, followed by a just as hurtful palmstrike after releasing the sword, ending with a kick to send him reeling back.

(Azrael has taken over 200 damage! His damage goes up by 10 for this turn and the next and all damage he takes will be reduced by 10 for the same length of time. Sentinel Dump, Valiant Crusher/Hornet Bunker and Patriot Apocalypse unlocked)

p_1d20+8(Scud Punishment on Haseo, deals 110% damage and applies 2 Weakness)

With a jump into the air with impressive height for a normal man he would attempt to come down upon Al with a powerful sit upon him, attempting to pin the massive armored boy to the ground with only his weight and bottom.

p_1d20+8(Sentinel Dump on Al, deals 90% damage and grapples him, leaving him wide open for Asriel's next attack...)

"So, fancy yourself a knight, do you? Let's see how strong that tincan is shall we!" he threatened as he would get up to leave Al stunned from his fall or hit the ground if Sentinel Dump did not land to stun him with flames from the ground beneath him.

This part only plays out if Patriot Apocalypse lands

"Patriot Apocalypse!" he declared as he began to lift the very earth from underneath Al... which was impressive given how much the armor must weigh at it's current size. He would then throw the chunk with Al on it into the air. "Well, you're in luck, because I am going to show you...." He declared, hitting the chunk of earth with potentially Al still up there with a punch that caused a towering explosion of red energy igniting skyward as he caused the air itself to explode from power alone, covering the arena in red clouds as the explosion would blind and still leave the area covering in a red fog afterwards from the heated attack "WHY NONE SHALL RIVAL MY STRENGTH!"

ASTRAL FINISH!

“...Uh-oh.” Gothie remarked, ducking down behind her cauldron and using its sturdy steel body to protect herself from any wayward debris. After the blast cleared, she stood back up. “...Hey! That's my schtick!!” she challenged. “Big BANG!!” she incanted, directing a finger out at Azrael. Suddenly the air ignited as a series of chain explosions enveloped him! Do note, there is no projectile. Just sudden explosions.

Alphonse went wide eyed and gasped as the Mad Dog suddenly lept up into the air above him, Alphonse only having the time to raise up their arms and protect themself as much as they could from the blow (25%-10%-90%=75% damage through, 5%dmg reduction=70% damage taken)

They were barely able to hold up any of it before Alphonse came crashing down to the ground at a slump, disoriented as they reached up and held their head. "W-wha--" was all he could let out before the earth was suddenly lifted below him, making him flail slightly and panic as they were raised into the air, clinging tightly onto the chunk of earth for some semblance of stability. And of course, there was no dodging the massive blast from the Mad Dog, Alphonse only able to wince before everything went white in the explosion.(150% damage taken-5% dmg reduction=145%)

The massive suit of armor fell out of the sky with a loud clang, completely motionless...

Until a potion flew past and smashed against it, the fluids inside once again seeping into the armor as a massive gasp came from them, the entire suit of armor shuddering to life (13% total health restored)

---

Alphonse sluggishly brought themself up, clutching tightly at their chest and taking deep breaths, every breath catching in their throat as they choked up a bit. Finally their eyes turned to the mad dog. Alphonse could only accept it. Mad Dog had killed him and he had gotten another chance.
Why was the Mad Dog suddenly attractive?...
SX7knUmUp_1d20+2(infatuated with... Everyone, for 4 turns)
Alphonse's massive armored body ran over to the mad dog, letting out a frustrated scream as they lifted their massive metal boot and stomped with all their weight behind it, likely breaking the floor in the progress. The wretching pain of death combined with the confusing feeling of attraction was a lot to take in for them.(Stomp:57-10%=47% damage each, Targets Dex)

As the man who was clearly enjoying the fight as much as Haseo was grabbed his sword then attempted to attack him point-blank with a few jabs and a kick to knock him back. 
Haseo would use his shield to block most of it. Activation: 85 - 10 - 110 = 0 Shield left and 30% damage taken to Haseo! 5% Damage resistance kicks in as well.

Skidding backward from the kick Haseo wiped his cheek as he felt that punch head on. "Not bad. But I'm nowhere near satisfied enough to count this as a full course meal!" Haseo was reveling in this battle as he then noticed that Alphonse wasn't looking too good. Taking out an item he had he would throw his Team Healer at him in hopes he would be okay. 

Alphonse you are being healed for 25% health + 2x CHA Mod. Haseo has +1 to his CHA so that's a total of 27% health recovered. Haseo then turns his attention right back to Azrael. "Time for your crushing defeat." Haseo said as he then attempted a Crushing attack on Azrael.

Azrael was blasted in the back by the sudden explosion, nearly falling back as he grimaced. 'Oof, I almost felt that," he said as he looked to Dark Witch, a red glow in his eyes as he started walking towards her. However the tin can he thought he crushed got back up and came at him in a fit of rage. Falling over by the first stomp Azrael shielded the other stomps until his guard was broken, he then vanished to a standing position in movements faster than the eye can see.

Before he could focus his rage however he start getting crushed by Haseo's strikes, coming down to his knees and breathing in and out. It looks like the titans managed to topple Terror itself as he seemed in no position to keep fighting on.

Technical Boss succ-"Hahahahahaha!" just then Azrael stood back up with an even crazier look than before. "That was great! I haven't feasted this much since the Grim Reaper! i say it's good as time as any to end the warm-up!" he declared, hinting he wasn't even using his full power this whole time. "Enchant Dragunov Level 2 unleashed!" he declared a powerful red energy flowing through the area as the entire stadium quaked and Azrael's presence grown way stronger than it was just five seconds ago. "I usually keep a limiter on because if I go all out my meals tend to die before it can get fun. What do you say we go a few more rounds, huh?" he explained before suddenly disappearing and then reappearing in front of Al with his fist ready. "As for you, this time STAY DOWN!" he declared before going to swing his fist... only to stop short as he seemed unable to move. "H-huh? What is... You damn beastkin! Kokonoe!!!" he called out before disappearing.

"Thanks for keeping him occupied. It should take him a while to break out of that dimension... I'll go get your rewards for helping me put the dog back in his house," the cat eared scientist explained before turning around and going... Well, looks like they managed to beat the Mad Dog.
