[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Well, this was a rare occasion for many people as they gathered in the stands, it was intriguing to all that the dapper dandy who bested Pit in the stadium the first time was returning to the battlefield to fight once again was legitimately astounding, but to be facing off against a group was unpresidented in of itself for everyone in attendance.

As was usual for the people, the only hint that the opponent would know of who they were facing, was the shadowed appearance of the person they were about to square off against.

As for Mamoru Chiba, he was calmly preparing for the fight by waiting for his opponent and the referee, all while pulling out a rose, the only thing that was another clue to the fighter. " Time for me to get the blood pumping, maybe my opponent will be capable of giving me a good workout." He said honestly to himself.

She just couldn't understand it...that she was summoned for a duel? Why? Why would anyone challenge her? She's not exactly a fighter...per se. She mostly fights as a means of defense. But someone must've thought otherwise, and Lupe did tell you to respect the challenge. She just wished that she joined her in this fight, or anyone else. Bunnie was all she could bring who didn't have any plans or work...so she also had to settle for Antoine, who she believes in his potential, but well...he's Antoine right now...

It took Sally some time, but she managed to find a way to register her friends on missions...as urm...companions...

As they stepped onto the arena, the southern rabbit took a glance at their tall opponent. "Mah mah, he sure has that mystery gentleman hero air to him. Who is he again, Sal-gal?"

Checking her smartphone, "I believe that is Tuxedo Mask, the love interest of Sailor Moon."

"Ohhhh yeah! Dhem dames ya had meh you yuh dress up as them Sailor Scouts or whatever they called on Halloween."

"Senshi, a-and it was just for...research purposes!"

Knowing that Sally became a bit of a fangirl for them, Bunnie gave a coy smile. "Uh huh..."

Look all stoic, but in a silly way, Antoine adjusted his gloves. "I am to be...ow you zaaay...test ze waters for you, my preeenzes! Let moi have ze first blow."

"Antoine, are you absolutely sure? We can't underestimate him, and I don't know the full capa-"

Now looking smug, "I laugh ze feet of danger, my preezees! Ha ha ha!" Stepping onto the arena to meet the caped man, Antoine drew his rapier and pointed it at him, trying to show such bravado. "Ungarde! You vill face ze royal guard of ze Preeenzess of ze Acorn Kingdom you dare challenge!"

She wished Antoine would stop mentioning her kingdom and title to everyone. She just doesn't like to spread it around in a world that means nothing here.

He's only doing this to try to impress Sally, like he always does. But he rarely does, for his cowardice rears its ugly head. For his sake, she hopes he at least lasts long. "Oh, brother..."

[Mr. Game & Watch]

There was much fanfare on display from the audience, the mask wearing gentleman most notably garnering much love from a young female demographic due to his returned gracing of the Sunshine Stadium’s battlefield. Uproarious applause erupted from the hundreds of fans, thirsting for glorious combat as the French fox drew his rapier and squared off against the man of mystery. What more could these adrenaline junkies ask for than an early start to a match that’ll go down as one for the books? Well, a certain renowned duo could answer that.

From the other end of the arena, a rolled up red carpet began to unfurl, racing toward the location of the two fighters like a snowball slowly losing its mass. It travelled quite a distance, almost half of the stadium’s diameter before completely unfurling. The end of the roll went unseen as a puff of smoke erupted from it, like a smoke bomb had gone off. When the dust settled it was revealed to be- no one. Shortly there after, MC Ballyhoo came sprinting onto the scene from some other direction, arms flailing behind him in a desperate flurry of motion. As he set his feet down at the end of the red carpet, he huffed and puffed, wildly trying to catch his breath. “WOAH! I over estimated the distance!” he gasped between breaths.

The hat atop his head, Big Top, looked rather unimpressed. “Under estimated. You under estimated the distance” he corrected.

“Under or over, it was the wrong estimation!” Ballyhoo boasted, adjusting his tie. As his head raised, he noticed Antoine’s rapier already pointed at Tuxedo mask. “AH HAH HA! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet, chum!” he announced as he scuttled over to edge of the fox’s blade and waved his finger at it. “As an officially sanctioned match, I, your Master of Catastrophes Ballyhoo, must read you both the ruleset of this match!” he added, producing an official looking document from under his hat. “WhichisanonverbalagreementthatallinjuriesherebytakingplacewithintheSunshineStadiumarenotlegallybindingnorareourresponsabilityshouldanyclientsoraudiencememberresultininjurysicknessordeathshouldbothpartiesengageincombatafterthereadingofthisstatement” he stated in last minute infomercial lingo. “Ahem, Big Top, if you would please!”

Rolling his eyes, Big Top did his best to imitate a trumpet with his mouth.

In accordance, MC Ballyhoo unfurled the document and held it out in front of him like a town crier. “In this Sunshine Stadium match, there will be no killing, no Ultimate Attacks, no outside help from the use of restricted items or any parties or individuals outside of the ring, and this fight will only last five rounds! And just a reminder, kids, you’re not just fighting for yourselves, you’re fighting for the folks at home, so make sure you’re showing them some love! And remember! We have three mystery judges rating your form and tactics, which will affect your score at the end of the match, so don’t get sloppy!”

With all that said, a propeller popped out of Big Top’s top, whisking both up into the air instantaneously. “HA HA! Now let’s bring on the catastrophe!”

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"I don't think that is how that particular phrase goes." Mamoru would say as he casually turns around to face his opponent, which was a group of three people.  "Well, now that we're all here, perhaps I should..." he added as a brilliant shining light envelopes the arena, temporarily blinding everyone in the vicinity as Mamoru Chiba spontaneously transformed.

And once the light had subsided and people's eyes had gone back to normal, standing before all was the Dapper Dandy himself...

Tuxedo Mask

"Having fought here once before, I have a good understanding of the rules, and if you have watched my first fight on the SBBN, you would be right in not wanting to underestimate me as doing so leads to trouble.  After all, I'm probably the only human not from your universe that you have so graciously honored with your presence." Tuxedo Mask would say as he calmly pulls out, of all things, a Yo-yo and proceeds to use it against Antoine!
STR ROLL : Yfw6AGKEp_1d20+1(Rather bad Yo-yo attack aimed at Antoine, 20% dmg if it hits)

However, this was the distraction as once he finishes with the toy, he chucks one of his many roses, this time he was going for Antoine's cheek.
DEX ROLL A: p_1d20+1(Pretty Decent Rose Throw @ Antoine, 10% dmg and 50% Flower chance if it hits)

And with a sufficient amount of distraction for the coyote mobian to deal with, he would simply chuck another Rose to further demoralise him...  only to once again show as a distraction.
DEX ROLL B: p_1d20+1(see the first Rose Throw for details, only this time with a 50% chance of Mortal Wound should it hit)

As for the appeal...
Appeal ROLL: p_1d20+3(not bad...  but not good either)

"Ha ha!" In such a boasting way, Antoine slid away from the yo-yo, then batted it away with his sword when it came back at him. "Do not ze...hue-milk-e-ate yourself, bien monsieur (good sir)!" Swinging his sword up, batting the rose away, he caught it...

...and held it by his face in a 'suave' look. "For I ze elite of her highness' guard!" Tossing the rose away, "Now moi attacks!" Leaping at him, he rapidly swung his rapier...

"Have at you!!" But then, his anxiety began to surface as he leaped at Tuxedo Mask, trying to strike him down with a heavy swing.

Fed up with Antoine [Heavy DEX DMG 22%] - Antoine summons all the courage he has to strike down a foe...unfortunately, he's very clumsy and may trip over himself, slamming onto a ally or trip. Antoine has a 50% chance of striking the foe, otherwise he hits a nearby ally...unless that ally rolls against his DEX stat to dodge (But in this case, Antoine takes 10% recoil damage and the attack doesn't happen). When Antoine has 3 Bravery tokens or more, disregard this drawback. 2-turn cooldown

p_1d100 (Attack failed)

La la la la la la la la le laaaaaaa!
In comes a friendly harmless bee just flying by...

"ACK!!" And it accidentally hit Antoine's foot while he was in midair, "WAAAAAAAAAGH!!" causing him to spin wildly past Tuxedo Mask...

WHAM!!

...and hit the ground, hard.

Leaving the girls to wonder if they could convince the crowd that they don't know him.

“AH HAH HA HA! Good evening, ladies and blokes! This is MC Ballyhoo coming at you live from the commentator’s booth! Do Big Top and I ever have a match for you today! The mysterious masked tuxedo man versus the princess’s elite guard! It’s the aristocrat against the enforcer! The proletariat fighting the bourgeoise! A classic match up that will leave you all at the edge of your seat!”

“… Who is this now? Fifty percent of the Life Sphere’s population is made up of princesses.”

“Big Top! Could you not recognize the princess of the Acorn Kingdom!?”

“… Acorn Kingdom? Is that the place by the Mushroom Kingdom with the Super Acorns that turn people into flying squirrels?”

“The very same!”

“… You only know that because they mentioned it earlier.”

“Poppycock! I’m knowledgeable of every fighter that steps into the Sunshine Stadium!”

“What’s the name of the princess of the Acorn Kingdom?”

“WOAH! Look at that form, Big Top! Going in for the strike onto our masked stranger, only to make a last second dodge at the sudden appearance of a bee! That’s going to throw Tuxedo Mask off! He’s going to think lesser of his opponent now, and then, our foxy friend will move in for the fatal blow at the last minute! No wonder he made it into the princess’s elite guard! He’s a strategic genius!”

“Uh-huh. And which princess is that?”

“The one down there, obviously!”

“And her name?”

“Well naturally! That’s, erm, Princess Acorn, of the Acorn Kingdom!”

“… I’m upset that you might be right.”

((Ant, your opponents roll the d100 to resist status ailments, not you.  Also, there was no DEX ROLL for Fed up with Antoine so it automatically misses because of the lack of said roll.))

---

Tuxedo Mask simply chuckles at Antoine as he manages to dodge all of his attacks, and responds in kind, although what Antoine forgot was his opponent not being helpless as he blocks the oncoming sword strikes.
Tuxedo Mask Blocks the Sword strikes!: (50-10(activation cost)-18(Swordsmanship Combo)=22 shield)

Then cam a sonic thrust style attempt...  And Tuxedo Mask simply pulls off the Bullfighters technique to dodge the strike!
DEX ROLL A: MuJzzcnFp_1d20+1{Heh... OLÉ!}

As for the third  attack, Tuxedo Mask watches and simply steps aside as Antoine takes a heavy swing to try striking him, only to fail because of a bee and the smack onto the ground.  "If Pit was watching this fight, he would be embarrassed at you for humiliating yourself.  And that was an almost successful attempt at that particular attack, just lacks a little something called focus." Tuxedo Mask would say with calm analytical critique while drawing out his own sword, one that actually has some weight to it.

"In the name of Endymion, you must train harder." Tuxedo Mask uttered as he takes a swing with the Blade of Endymion...  only to barely hit the coyote.
STR ROLL A: p_1d20+1{Blade of Endymion @ Antoine, 24% dmg if it hits, 3% recoil to Tuxedo Mask}

Then tries again...  and this one was marginally better.
STR ROLL B: p_1d20+1{see the first one}

Then pulls off his own sonic thrust style attack, but rather than use the Sword of Endymion, it was with his classy cane...  and if Antoine didn't dodge this one, he would be sent crashing into the Nintendium Wall!
STR ROLL C: p_1d20+1(Brutal Cane Thrust @ Antoine, 15% dmg if it hits)

Then calmly tried another appeal...  by doing the sickest riff with an imaginary guitar to get the audiences cheering on the roll.
Appeal ROLL: p_1d20+3(And now for a Guitar Riff!)

"Whoa, that there is a fancy sword!" Bunnie noted. "Sure Twan would love that if it wasn't used against him."

Checking it on her phone/Nicole, "...I believe that weapon is named after his incarnation, which wields incredible magic."

"Yeah well, it--Sugah-Twan, watch yurself!!!"

"We are Doomed!!" - Adds +5 to his DEX to avoid an attack for one turn, but not for attacking. However, Antoine inflicts Fear and Paralysis onto himself after this turn. However, if his Bravery has 3 tokens or more, disregard the status infliction. 3 turn cooldown.

"Uh?!" Getting back up, he saw his very tall opponent towering over him with a majestic sword high in the air...like he would be his intimidating executioner. "AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

Though tensed, Antoine ducked under the first sword, bent his back away from the second attack, and when the magical gentlemen rocketed at him with his blade aiming forth, Antoine dived away from it, but now he huddled on the floor, covering his head to cower from danger.

Antoine has Fear and Parayisis.

"...oh for goodness..." Bunnie's robotic arm stretched, grabbed the coyote, and pulled him to the girls' side. "Mah turn!!"

Antoine 'switched' to Bunnie.

“WOAH! I can’t believe it! I won’t believe it! I am shocked to my core, Big Top! I have never seen a match go this long without either opponent even hitting the other! This is true skill and craftsmanship on display here!”

“Or complete dumb luck. That guy down there, I think they call him Twan, is clearly out of his depth. Tuxedo Mask isn’t getting hit because the guy’s an amateur, and he’s not getting hit because… well, look at him go. You’d have an easier time catching a cheep cheep with your bare hands.”

“That’s because of the skill, Big Top! He’s a slippery and cunning fox! He wants you to underestimate him!”

“… You know, you keep calling him a fox, I don’t think he’s a fox.”

“Of course he is! He looks like he could be Tails’ father!”

“… His tail isn’t really fox like.”

“Obviously! He’s a swordsman! A big bushy tail would be too easy a target in close quarters combat! They all get them trimmed down, some even cut off, for the benefit of glorious combat!”

“I think you’re giving this guy far too much credit”

“SHHH! Big Top! They just performed the ultimate tag-team combo! Our foxy guard just tagged in the robotic bunny, this is sure to stir an upset! Tuxedo Mask was just getting a read on his last foe, how is he going to transition to this one!?”

“I’m going to hazard a guess, it’s going to be very easy.”

“Pray tell, Big Top!”

“Well, you see, he came here looking for a fight and now he has an opponent that’ll actually pose a threat to him. If anything, that collection of misfit animals gave Tuxedo Mask an early lead because their first fighter roughed himself up worse than Tuxedo Mask could.”

“Oh, Big Top, you’re going to regret those words once we get to the fifth turnaround! This is a tactical move! He’s retreating so that he can study the match, and then when he comes back in, that’s when he’ll unleash his true potential!”

“I’d say I’ll believe it when I see it, but I doubt I will, and I will remain skeptical even if I do.”

"Space Zorro...  Quite catchy, but..." Tuxedo Mask would say as he deftly dodges the incoming Martial Arts technique.
DEX ROLL: tXH56c8Xp_1d20+1(Bunnie Rabbot missed her chance to land her first clean hit)

"Flattery gets noone anywhere, especially when on the battlefield.  I'm quite pleased with the effort that your compatriots put in, though to be on the safe side I do feel that Antoine should muster up his courage and not be afraid of anything." he finished, before looking at Ballyhoo and Big Top, and chuckling at the complete theory of him being a fox.  "I'd be more Roserade than fox, but heh...  Whatever you think, your jaws will drop when I get serious." he would tell the two politely, a clear indicator that belied what Tuxedo Mask is capable of.

"Midpoint of the match, time for me to show you that I wasn't using my full potential, I should warn you; you're gonna be in for a rough time." Tuxedo Mask would say, to which all three mobians would bear witness to the sudden aura of power flaring up around their opponent.

Tuxedo Mask's battle aura activates!
For Three turns, Tuxedo Mask exhibits the following:
+1 to all STR, DEX, and CHA rolls
x1.5% dmg multiplier to all attacks
1d5 dmg reduction to all dark attribute attacks
1d15 earth attribute healing from opponents
Full immunity to Charmed/Infatuated, Berserk, Poison, and Paralysis ailments

And to exemplify the boost in power, Tuxedo Mask would use his cane...  Mainly to keep Bunnie Rabbot on her toes.
STR ROLL A: p_1d20+2(Poorly timed Cane Thrust @ Bunnie Rabbot, 23% dmg if it hits(the dmg multiplier had to be rounded up by .5))

However, that was the distraction... For if Bunnie wasn't careful, she'd be cut into by some sharp thorns that might cause some bleeding.
DEX ROLL: p_1d20+2(Rose Throw @ Bunnie Rabbot, 15% dmg and 50% chance of Mortal Wound if it hits)

Then came the appeal...  A very polite bow aimed directly to Sally Acorn!

Bunnie hopped away from the cane, but indeed it distracted her from the shooting rose that scratched her cheek. "Yow!!"

"BUNNIE!!"

Rubbing her cheek, barely any blood was found on her glove. "Now that ain't how a gentleman gives a lady a rose, darlin."

As the gentlemen bowed to Sally, she gave a sheepish smile, waving to him...all while trying to keep his attention at her.

However, Antoine believed she was genuinely flustered, kicking off his jealousy. "Cease ze...suave posing to ze preezees, monsieur!"

Of course, Antoine's jealousy helps alot to keep him from noticing her communicating. Whispering in her earpiece, "Bunnie, get him while he's distracted with a charged shot."

Sally's Leadership- Sally uses her leadership skills to guide her team or and her allies to victory. This increases the FF's and all allies’ MOD by 2 and additional 2% damage for one turn. For each allies, Sally must roll a CHA dice, and if it rolls over the ally's CHA stat, the buff is successful. 3 turn cooldown.

Smirking, her robotic hand shifted inside her arm, which transformed into a cannon. Aiming at his back, Bunnie charged energy from the Red Ring that powers her robotic armor...

BLAM!!

...and fired a massive purple blast at him.

Chaos Cannon [DEX DMG 12 ~ 22%] - Powered by a Red Ring, Bunnie fired energy bolts from her robotic hand by 12% damage. She can sacrifice an action to charge this attack for 22%, and the attack DMG is increased by 5% against magic-based foes. If that's the case, this has 2-turn cooldown.

“AH HA! See, Big Top!? Even Tuxedo Mask thinks he’s a fox!”

“No. No, I think he thinks that we think he’s a fox.”

“But why would he think that we think that he’s a fox!? I think that he thinks that we think that his opponent’s a fox! At least, I think that’s what I think! What do you think, Big Top!?”

“… Please stop.”

“I think I will! We can’t be hung up on the species of the combatants for too long! After all, we’d be here all day trying to figure out each of the challenging opponents!”

“One of their names is literally Bunnie.”

“And that could mean anything! Do you have any idea how many residents we have named after dragons and they’re just regular humans!?”

“About as many princesses I would presume.”

“Don’t be absurd, Big Top! That’d be statistically impossible!”

“Put a pin in that for a second, my drama senses are tingling.”

“GAD ZUKES! I feel that as well! It seems to be the wafting aroma of the rose bearing gentleman himself! Oh, Big Top! How we could all wish to have such a dashing rogue sweep us off our feet!”

“Looks like you’re not the only one falling for his charms, the young princess seems to be playing a bit coy with him.”

“Abominable! A human and beast pairing! Disgusting! Doesn’t Tuxedo Mask realize that it is us that are meant to be!?”

“Yeah, stop the presses. Man and animal, revolting. Man and eldritch goblin creature, a-okay.”
