[Nostalgia]

The Pink Vessel idly walked into the arena, looking over her needle curiously. In a bright flash the blade was wreathed in brilliant white licks of flame., The Vessel continuing to stare as they raised a hand and watched as their hand phased through their weapon. As their hand stopped in its path they suddenly yanked their hand back and reached up to hold their forehead, closing their eyes and shaking their head a bit. Whatever it did, it wasn't pleasant to do to them self.

Maybe they should try it on someone else instead. The Pink Vessel started to look around, brandishing their still burning needle. Might as well have some fun with it too then right? The Vessel pulled out their sign and wrote, holding it up for all to see with an excited look on their face, eager to try out their newly discovered power. Of course they'd also be lying if all the talk of competitions and tournaments didn't get them a bit excited.

Would anyone like to practice for the tournament with me? I want to try out some new things and learn more fighting styles!

The Vessel sat happily and waited for someone to take their challenge in silent excitement, the two foot tall bug fidgeting a bit. Time to test the dream nail.

The sounds of light steps would be heard as a girl in a pink cat ear hoodie up. She heard there was some practice before the tournament really set off and she wanted to get some practice in as well. Of course any chance to test her abilities was welcome as she stepped up. Someone apparently wanted to try out some new techniques themselves and well, she was a training partner for Axel for a while, so this would be a nice return to form.

... Still, the one to set the challenge was a tad unexpected. They looked like a small bug creature with pink and a bow. They had a peculiar little weapon by their side as well. "... You're kind of cute actually... I'm Kairi! I hope I will be good enough to help you practice whatever you need to," she introduced... could this thing even speak normally? Still, did not matter much as she held out her hand, light accumulating into an island sunset themed key with a floral unlocking system, the Destiny's Embrace. "I'm ready whenever you are!" she declared as her position got into a lowered fighting stance. Her gloves almost seemed to glow along the pink flower pattern as she did so.

The Pink Vessel perked up at the sound of footsteps, a hand raising to wave excitedly to the other girl in pink. Even the Vessel, with barely any sense of fashion or aesthetics took a few moments to admire Kairi's adorable hoodie. 

The little Bug's cheeks flushed slightly at being called cute, smiling happily as they nodded and pulled down their sign to write again.

Thank you! that means alot considering how well you're dressed. Don't go selling yourself short, but I won't be going easy on you either. I hope that we can both learn and grow from today, and be friends after!.

The Pink Vessel gave an excited thumbs up as they set their sign away, watching the interesting patterns along the girls hands with a slightly tilted head in curiosity. This new girl was so pretty and nice! The Vessel would have to meet her again outside the arena to spend more time together. 

And so, the two foot tall Vessel took a few steps away, pulling their needle off their back and turning on the spot with a flourish, letting the needle fly from their hand, aimed a bit sloppily from throwing it from such a position.
Ph40Bpesp_1d20+5(Nail Spear 1: 9% damage)

Immediately following it however was the Vessel themself, the speedy bug leaping after their needle and snatching it up before it hit the ground, a white light suddenly sparking along the strange blade as it expanded with licks of white fire, swung in a massive arc. Oddly enough though, it caused no pain as it seemed to phase through everything it touched, a sudden pang in Kairi's mind as three voices spoke to her in unison.

Tell me what you see when everything changes

p_1d20+3(Dream Weilder- Fear: Inflicts fear, targets int)

If Kairi does not resist the fear she would suddenly find the world going white, everything melting away into a pure white before re-saturating. A strange feeling came to her, the sudden feeling that she knew she was going to be stolen away from her home, the same way it feels to know something in a dream without reason. She would find herself still standing in the middle of the arena, the walls warbling and shifting unnervingly, in Vessel's place standing a darkened Bowser, grinning wickedly at her before opening his mouth and letting lose a fast moving fireball towards her.

If she resisted, she would see the Pink Vessel throwing her spear at her once again.
p_1d20+5(Nail Spear 2: 9% damage)

With surprising speed the Bowser illusion would suddenly start to run towards her with both hands outstretched , reaching for her as if attempting to grab her in his big dragon hands and squeeze her violently.

In reality the Vessel was throwing out thread around her, suddenly yanking on it and making the thread constrict to try and restrain her.
p_1d20+5(Bind: 5% damage, Afflicts slow for 3 turns)

After the grab Bowser would open their mouth again, another burst of a fireball coming from his maw.

As last time, the Vessel was actually keeping their distance a bit, throwing out their needle one final time.
p_1d20+5(Nail Spear 3: 9% damage)

Haste: -5

And Finally the image of Bowser reeled back and made a massive slash at the girl, giant claws raking through the air.

In reality the Vessel was reeling back similarly, putting all of their meager body weight behind an impressive throw of their needle at truly impressive speeds.

Kairi nodded at Vessel's compliments before standing ready, her Keyblade appearing as she blocked the first needle strike. However she was immediately caught off guard by the bug's sheer speed. She got pricked and started hearing multiple voices at once, feeling kind of dizzy. The area of the arena shifted a bit as she felt this tinge of fear. Like that strange feeling that she was about to get abducted once more.

"Wh-what is that?" She questioned upon seeing a dark koopa. She got hit by the fireball just barely, failing to notice it as another needle strike, falling back. It then came running at her and still a bit too immoblized by fear she was grabbed and squeezed. Then she got blasted in the face by yet more fire, at least from her perspective as she fell back a bit. She struggled to regain her composure before getting raked by claws of severe wounding, the girl clutching her chest as she fell back. Thankfully there was no real deep wound.

"I... I don't know where you came from but I will not let you do this!" she called out, a bit frantic as wings of light that reflected memories bursted forth from her back, she then threw her Keyblade at the giant dragon turtle illusion and then swung horizontally, vertically and finishing by attempting to press down on the illusion of Bowser and try and mold the Vessel into a smaller shape.

Kairi would see Bowser raising his arms as she slashed at him with her key blade, using his claws to deflect the first two blows away before being struck by the third, leaping back with surprising speed for his size as he just barely avoided her shrinking hand. (50% shield - 10 -16 = 24%)

The giant dragon koopa let out a growling laugh, loud and raucous as he glared down at the girl. It was strange he wasn't speaking, but every time he looked at her she felt like she was going to be stolen right off the planet, like she was going to be grabbed at any moment.

What looked like Bowser let out another flurry of fireballs at the slowed Kairi, running towards her at the same time and slashing at her between them.

Finally Bowser seemed to pause in place, letting out a roar as the earth rumbled in a specific area around her, giving her a moment to check where the ground wasn't rumbling before suddenly erupting in green pirhana plant vines, slashing wildly around the area.

In a flurry of dodges and fails, Kairi felt slashes as she dodged the fires. This fight was strange and did not make sense but she couldn't shake the thought as she landed. She then felt the ground rumble as some other trick seemed to be deployed. Deciding not to give it another chance, Kairi raised a barrier of light around her. The false plants would dissipate as they collided with her barrier before she shattered it, letting loose a barrage of shells through the area with it's force in an explosion of light.

She would then dodge around yet another slash before getting clipped by the last one. She could feel herself tiring but she can't give up. She won't. In a rush of determination she threw her Keyblade at Vessel and firing a blast of holy energy out of her palm at him. She then zipped forward to grab the Keyblade and then slash through Vessel, once connecting she would then slash through him from all directions at light speed before sending him flying away with another blow.

"Bowser" stood still and silent as they watched Kairi dodge some and get hit by others of their "fireballs" Their eyebrows raised slightly in curiosity as the vines shooting from the ground hit the barrier. In a rather un-bowserlike fasion their head tilted to the side, standing still and waiting to see what happens. 
QErYDGvIp_1d20+5(Starcracker dodged!)
As the barrier exploded Bowser suddenly lept up high into the air, far higher than one would expect of such a heavy gentleman, successfully going above the sudden blast with amazing speed.

They landed back on the ground with a thud, grinning widely and crossing their arms over their chest, side-stepping out of the way of Kairi's keyblade throw, only to be hit not a second later as Kairi zoomed over to grab and slash with it, the oddly light monster sent flying accross the stadium, though they seemed to not be as damaged as they could have been.

In a plume of dust they crashed into the dirt, standing up not a moment later and shaking their head a couple of times to get it cleared up. It didn't keep them down long though, as the Vessel decides to experiment. Kairi would see Bowser flexing slightly and getting them self pumped up, an aura of blue suddenly starting to form around them, a bit wobbly as it phased in and out of perception. Seems things were still a bit off.(LBS and LBW both activated)

With another flex bowser threw their head back in a loud roar, the earth rumbling once more as random patches rumbled, giving another brief moment to try and find a clear spot. 
p_1d20+5(Call of the void, 30% damage, +2 to hit, targets Wis)

And not long after they lowered their head again, opening their mouth wide as amber flames billowed up from their throat, a series of 3 fireballs shooting out. Although they were hasty, they came out with a surprising boost in speed!

Kairi breathed in and out steadily as the monster was still standing and was surprisingly swift. She could feel she could not stand too much longer, practically hearing a beeping sound. Still, in a moment of clarity she was able to find a way around the attack. She made her way through with a flying hop, dodging two of the fireballs but getting hit by another... That was when she realized something... These fireballs... They didn't burn her like you'd expect fire to. They felt more like a prick. A pink glow of light surrounded Kairi as her light made the fear fade away. She looked around as she realized that the turtle monster was Vessel the whole time.

"... That was a scary trick... Unfortunately now that I can see the light I do not need to hold back anymore! Get ready for I will pay you back now that your illusion is gone~!" she declared as she turned into a pink ball of light before suddenly moving to Vessel in a severely fast fashion. When she reached her target she would attempt to hit him with a side strike, followed by another horizontal swing and ending in a vertical strike downward. True to her word these attacks were hitting a lot harder now that her Heart was cleared.

She would then dash at Hollow, slamming into him and past him before repeating this manner 6 more times to deal heavy damage as the light would blast against his body. To end the series of attacks she would then disappear before coming back down with a strike to the head from above. It would appear her slowness was wearing off as well now.

After her final blow she would jump back with an aerial float as she held her keyblade up. "Thunder!" she declared before a bolt of lightning would come down from the heavens to strike Vessel before she landed and sighed. Her wings faded away as she still held her keyblade. That was about all she had after all.

The Vessel tilted their head slightly in surprise at how well Kairi seemed to be dodging through their flurry of attacks, but from the one hit that did land Kairi could see little particles of white fly off of her and go into the blue blob atop vessel's head, seeming to dissolve away. ((11/3=3.6~4% healed))

As Kairi seemed to come to her senses the Pink Vessel actually seemed to... Perk up a bit. She gave a little apologetic smile and rubbed the back of her head with a shrug. It seems like the move she wanted to test out definitely worked, though not for especially long it seemed. That was good enough for them, their goal achieved for this battle. She bowed her head a bit to Kairi as a silent thanks for the battle before standing and getting back into a fighting stance, a happy smile on their face.

Though the Vessel was fast, they werent quite ready for the renewed energy behind Kairi's attacks, the first strike coming down hard on top of them, the second narrowly avoiding them as they twisted out of the way, and the final one landing hard on them once more, making them stumble down onto the dirt floor and reach up to hold their head.

On the ground she continued to smack her around a bit, the little Vessel trying their best to avoid the brunt of the strikes, and seeming to do well enough at it. 
p_1d20+7((Crit 7 wishes avoided, 35% taken, 17% to LBS))
That final downward strike looked like it was a bout to hit until a wall of blue slime suddenly came out from the Pink Vessel's cloak to stop it in place, her strike causing the lifeblood to splatter over the ground around them.
((Princes of heart mid Blocked, shield broken))

Left dazed by the onslaught the Vessel groggily brought herself up to her feet, just in time to catch a thunderbolt wracking through her body, making her go wide eyed as a sound finally came out, a short high pitched little scream that sounded like it was coming from too many sources for one two foot tall Vessel. But in that brief moment she could also see the blue gel surrounding them a bit, taking some of the electricity for the Vessel.

After the electricity they stumbled a bit and fell onto their face, a couple of smoke trails coming from their pink dress' edges.

With a slow and hesitant stretch the Vessel brought herself up to her hands and knees, patting themself over and pouting a little bit. That really hurt... Hopefully this fight will be over soon. 

She reached down and straightened her dress a little, patting the edges of them to try and make them stop smoking... Shell have to talk to someone about that later. But eventually their eyes did fall back to Kairi, an awkward smile coming to their face as they gave a little salute. Kneeling down once more she placed her hands on the floor, that familiar rumbling starting. For the first time Kairi got to see what was actually happening, the earth yawning open and tearing appart at the seams as massive tendrils that seemed to absorb all light shot from it, reaching high into the air and flailing madly.
p_1d20+5((Call of the void, 30% damage, -3 to a dodge next turn, targets Wis))
And as usual, after the Vessel stands, the spears suddenly dissipate into the light of the stadium, the earth forming back together as it was before. A hand on their nail, the Vessel lifted it and threw it in a quick flurry, keeping their position as their eyes calmly locked onto Kairi.

Panting softly from pain and exertion of the fight, the Vessel reached down to touch the ground again, taking a deep breath as it began to rumble, once more, the spears shooting out once more, but... They didn't spend much time up, immediately pulling back into the ground and stabbing up once more in new areas, like some chaotic rhythm puzzle. It seems they are quite determined to bring this to an end, their pale skull being overcome with the same black as the tendrils as their eyes go a luminous white.

Kairi flinched and fell back as the darkness tendrils hit against her, her body flashed a bright light to make them dissipate but she was still injured despite her heart's natural defenses. Then Vessel came at her with the Dream Nail to which Kairi quickly parried every blow with her Keyblade. It was much easier to do now that she could tell what the attack was and what to look out for. However she was not prepared for yet more of the tendrils. She winced as the attacks wracked her and she fell backwards to the ground. Her body let out one last shine, causing the tendrils to dissipate but Kairi herself was out cold, her back to the floor. She was still breathing and fine but she was much too exhausted that she passed out after the extra strike.

Pink Vessel made a few more cautious circles around the arena, gradually slowing and coming to a stop, landing next to the fallen Kairi. Seeing her eyes closed and unresponsive the Vessel paniced a little bit, looking around for someone else in the Arena for help. Seeing no one readily available they knelt down beside Kairi on their knees, gently placing their hands on her arm and closing their eyes. White energy gathered around them, flickering in the air as blue gel spread slightly over her arm. With two consecutive puffs of white particles flying off of the Vessel Kairi's body was healed to some degree, though not enough.
