(Open Challenge time! You can choose any of the Stadium's Special Match rules and it can be either Single or Doubles. The only required rule is that it has to be a Grudge Match. As always my Open Challenge representatives have a theme, and this time the theme is "Brawlers". Masters of the physical art with prime physique although some may be wiser than others they are all tougher than the toughies)

On the Battlefield resting above the Stadium was four girls and a... rather obese man that kind of meshed not well with the rather toned appearances of the girls. One was standing by herself against a wall, just kind of watching Tifa doing practice punches with a young Daisy. She seemed to enjoy the instruction and aide of the other but it's not going to make her come closer to that. They were also the only ones without visible weapons aside Wario but one could assume knowing the man he was stowing bombs somewhere for cheap plays. Meanwhile a girl that was slightly taller than Raffina but looked a lot like her was tossing her sword up and down in thought before sheathing it and looking at the others for a moment, seeming to be in thought... Making sure to keep her distance from Wario a bit. Speaking of Wario, he was just kind of... staring at Daisy who stared at him every now and then... Something familiar about that girl but he can't quite put his finger on it...

[alchefire]

The sound of heavy footsteps would fill the air as tall, armored woman stepped into the Stadium. She'd heard that quite a few people were offering a challenge and she was curious about what would be waiting for her.

To her surprise she found herself watching what she could only assume were a group of pugilists. Their figures and the fighting styles of the two she was watching in the center certainly confirmed it. Now... she had to chose one of them.

Should she go for the squat, yellow man? He seemed small, but stocky, he'd probably be a good test of her endurance. Perhaps the girl with the strange device? She probably had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, it would likely keep the knight on her toes. What about one of the two sparing in the center? They both had plenty of energy and it looked like they were willing to keep going. And then there was the girl with the Sword, she probably had some tricks that the knight wasn't used to dealing with.

Eventually she mentally disqualified each of them until she had just one left. Wario... unsettled her, he was giving off some rancid vibes and she wasn't thinking about the smell. Daisy... made her uncomfortable, she did not like the idea of taking on child, regardless of how strong or capable they were. Chell seemed interesting, she would have to challenge her later, but for now she wanted to wipe off some rust and she had no idea what wacky tricks that device was capable of. Tifa meanwhile seemed to be a good choice. But... she was busy training with Daisy and she didn't want to interrupt their flow.

That left Raffitrois, who the knight slowly approached before extending her hand towards her in greeting. Her soft, kind voice speaking out towards the pink haired. "Hello. My name is Reva and... if you're okay with it, I would like to spar with you."

She gave the brawler that warm smile as she hefted her massive shield. She was ready to go.

As Reva chose her challenger, Daisy suddenly kicked Tifa into a building and followed her. Wario gave chase as well while the silent woman remained watching but keeping her distance from the fight. Raffina just kind of watched her fellow fighters in disbelief for a moment before shaking her head. "Ohoho~, so you want to take me on? Alright, but there is no way I'm going easy on you. After all, we are both warriors from the looks of it, so what's the point?" she deduced as she got into a readied stance. "Careful, Raffina, that shield looks super durable and she probably knows how to use it in unique ways since she is carrying no other weapons," the voice in her head oh so wisely gave advice. "Right, so I am going to need to break through it with all my strength at once," she deduced to herself before standing straight and breathing in and out. At first it looks like she was just doing normal breathing exercises but she was actually regulating her breathing in a focused manner, concentrating all her strength into her offense.

(Focused Breath Offense activated. Raffina gets a +2 to her STR Mod and all her damage is increased by her STR Mod)

"If you plan to be a wall I'll just need to break you down!" she declares before jumping forward to try and kick Reva. She then slashed with her dagger before going for a punch with her other hand, aiming to keep Reva as off balance as she could as she did a concentrated assault with high power behind every swing.

As she did her combo attack she would give a jump up as she pulled out her bo staff from her back. She twirled it around as the winds kicked up her scarf. Yellow and pink energy followed the movement of the staff before she attempted to bring the staff down upon her head. If the Bo Staff connected cleanly Reva would feel her perception begin to weaken and her wisdom based attacks weaken and becoming harder to control with them. "The name is Raffina, I am the Adventurer that slays the Evils of the Barren Wastelands. No Evil in the universe can survive my blades!" she declared as she stood up properly and ready to continue.

Reva hadn't expected how fast Raffina moved, the knight taking both the punch and the kick as she managed to deflect the Dagger with Eschaton. The soldier following her with her eyes as she leapt away. Although she was a bit too focused on where Raffina was landing next to fully dodge out of the way of her staff. The knightly woman taking the full brunt of her assault as she grimaced. Feeling that strange energy shoot through her and disrupt her senses.

Unfortunately for Raffina though, she'd landed exactly where Reva was lining herself up. Quick as a whip, a small blue card flicked out of the armored woman's wrist as she shoved her shield forward. Crushing it in a single motion as a beam of bright blue magic fired forth striking her just as she was about to land. The runoff energy coursing across her body, reinforcing the bright blue barrier that had started to form around her after Raffina had finished landing her hits.

As the beam faded and Raffina's vision was cleared, the armored woman would dash back. Her moments seeming rather sloppy all of a sudden from the disrupting energy now coursing through her form. A small red card appeared in her hand, which she promptly smashed, sending several red, squares of magic shooting across the ground in a strange pattern.

Whether Raffi properly dodged the shots or not, Reva would be following her movements again. The knight's eyes regaining a bit of their sharpness as she focused. Suddenly the armored woman pointed her finger towards where she thought the girl was going to dodge towards next and a bolt of powerful lightning cracked down from above, aiming to strike her as she dodged.

"Well... Raffina. A lot of people back home call me a hero and Shieldmaiden. But those titles don't mean anything to me. She figured she might as well match Raffina's excentricity. "All I care about is protecting people and I'll give everything I have to make sure no one innocent gets hurt!"

".... A card?" Raffina questioned with a brow at her taking out a card of all things in a fight. "... That card has magic properties to it! Raffina, use your bracelets now!" the voice in her head called out.  At the voice's suggestion she held her arms in front of herself as if to brace for an attack. Pink and yellow energy flowed from the gauntlets and projected a barrier in front of her that swirled in a balanced manner in front of her. The energy shield deflected the beam's energies, protecting Raffina. However she looked a bit tired doing it. She did project her life force to prevent greater harm after all and the train was not going to stop yet.

(Raffina shielded the Shield Beam, taking 40% shield damage)

The girl then without missing a beat would dodge around the followup square magic. Her movements were made with precision and skill as she sidestepped and flipped past the blows, attempting to make up the distance. However she was too focused on the diagbeams and was nailed by the lightning. She flinched a bit as the electrical energy coursed through her body. However she stood up after a moment, much sturdier than that.

p_1d20+1(Mjlinor dodge, failure)

"... Protecting the innocent, huh? Well, if you're a Shield of Protection then I am the Legs of Vengance that will do what the weak can not do for themselves!" she declares. "My intentions might be considered less noble but we'll see how long your protection can hold up against my will to take down the unjust even if it costs my life-..." She declares before rushing forward and pulling out both her daggers at once. "This is the power to kill the gods themselves! Nothing can survive my blades when I put my spirit into them. The Twin Slayers, this is Twin Tornado!" she declares as yellow energy flows through one blade and pink through the other as she jumped forward and tried to not only  slash through Reva's guard but leave a fairly substantial wound as her life force attempted to aid in cutting through Reva.

p_1d20+5(Crit confirm, adds 35% damage and increases Mortal Wound chance to 100%)

Not allowing her a chance to breathe after attempting to cut her down with her spinning chi blender of doom, Raffitrois deployed a kick to send her reeling back forward, aiming for any potential wounds left behind. She would then follow this up with a heavy hitting punch before performing a sweeping motion to knock her off her feet. She did not seem even remotely out of breath as her breathing was still done in rather consistent intervals. "So, how does the legs of vengence feel~?" she asked as she pointed her dagger towards Reva.

(Not even gonna bother rolling against that Crit. She can't beat it. 70% taken and she is inflicted with Mortal Wound)
Raffina's blade scored a direct hit on Reva, cleaving through her armor and cutting right to her... A little too far maybe. The knight found herself taking a knee as her blood spilled onto her ground. Her eyes unfocusing a bit as she used her Shield to prop herself up. Reva barely managing to guard herself from the first attack as the other two rocked her. Causing her to stagger again before slowly rising up. Despite those heavy blows, the armored woman had kept her ground, even after they'd brought her to her knees

Her eyes still unfocused, Reva called down a bolt of thunder, seemingly at random. She very clearly couldn't see the warrior in front of her. Her vision was getting a bit cloudy as she called up that bright red card. Smashing it again as those beams shot outwards in a far more predictable manner.

Reva had fallen mostly silent as she stood back up. The mint haired woman calling a second card to hand before smashing it. Sending another beam of bright blue light screaming towards Raffina. She was shaking and blood was pouring out of her side. But despite that, she kept her shield planted in the ground. Even if she was going to lose, she refused to simply fall over and give up. She looked up towards Raffina. Her energy was starting to come back a little bit. She just needed to keep going...

"A lot of good all that armor is doing you, huh? My armor is fashionable and serves it's purpose without being overbearing, you should try it something~," she taunted before getting bolted once more, wincing a bit as she dropped to her knees. Still she managed to deftly dodge two of the Diagbeams before taking the last one and being blasted full on by the beam, getting sent reeling back. "... Heh, not bad magic tricks. You have to share your secrets about those weird cards sometimes. Too bad they won't help you. Here's a secret of my own. I can hit even harder! Let's see if you can keep up!" She declared before charging forward with two knife strikes in succession, grabbing her staff with her other hand before bringing it to try and slam Reva's side in a quick weapon combination as she pocketed both her daggers.

"And now for my full power! Gleaming Force!" she declared as one of her boots started shrining yellow on the gem, the other pink. She would then throw her yellow leg first in a powerful swing, the yellow energy forming a trail that followed her kick before ending in a yellow explosion of energy. This would be followed up by her doing another spin kick, this time with her pink boot swinging forward, a pink trail going to try and blow Reva away with a pink explosion.

She then breathed out a heavy sigh. Her rush of overwhealming strength ending as her breathing returned to normal and she put her stance back to normal. "Ready to admit defeat yet~?" the cotton candy haired lady added one last taunt as she breathed a bit more heavy for a moment. She still had plenty of energy left but her power exhausted her none the less.

While Raffina's first strike would hit home, cutting even deeper into the knight's armor, the other two would end up bouncing off the knight's shield as she swiftly positioned it in the way of those attacks. Pushing her back only for the woman to come rushing in. The first kick rocking her as the yellow burst sent her skidding backwards. Her Shield shoved forward in an attempt to guard the second strike, purple energy forming around Eschaton.

KA-Thoooom! Reva's shield would suddenly crack as both of those strikes hit it directly. Sending waves of power rushing across the knight's body. A loud crunching noise filling the air the blows dented through the center of Reva's shield, striking a small purple gem that laid beneath. The crystal seemed to suck up the power of Raffina's attacks, before exploding outwards! Sending Reva flying back before she slammed into a wall nearby. The mint-haired woman slumping forward a bit as she ended up sliding down the wall. Her eyes falling closed as she crumpled to the ground unconscious and bleeding out.

Raffina gave a shocked explosion before being sent back by the explosion as well. She landed on her rump with a pained expression before looking over to see Reva down. "... Ohohoho~. I guess your armor just was not thick enough. Now, it's about time we end this," she said as she walked over and held one of her daggers up. However before she could bring it down, another hand gripped her wrist and kept it restrained. "The match is over. There's no point in continuing," Chell firmly stated. Raffina looked back for a moment before back to the girl... She wasn't exactly used to giving her enemies mercy. Back home mercy tended to not get anything done. The only way to stop someone was to end them... And so she almost did just that. She gave a frustrated sigh before jerking her hand away. "Fine," she said before turning around to walk off.

"...." Chell watched her for a moment leave.... she clearly needed some advice but she was far from the best person to give it... besides... "You two," Chell called to Tifa and Daisy who were caught in a struggle for wrestling dominance and looked over. "... What happened?! Why did she wound her this bad?" Tifa asked as she looked down with Daisy before looking to Chell. "... The reason is unimportant. I need you two to carry her to the hospital. I'm not exactly good with doctors," she explains  before looking around.

"... I'm not sure how long we have going there by foot we might not make it," she replied but nevertheless signaling Daisy to help lift her. "Then you take a shortcut," Chell answered. Tifa looked like she was about to ask what shortcut before Chell opened a portal with her Portal Gun on the wall... directly to the hospital. Did she plan for someone needing medical treatment? "Alright, we'll make sure she gets there,"  Tifa nodded before going to carry Reva off, under the assumption she did not offer resistance since you know, she was unconscious. Raffina looked back for a moment before going to head out.
