Copen vs Jevil (auto perms received)
Jevil continued his little dance while Copen broke through the cyclone of spades, landing not too far away from the jester. Jevil seemed very entertained by the fight, grin never fading. He clearly enjoyed this 'game'. The remaining spades soon disappeared following Copen's escape, neither fighter making a move for a few moments.
"Piip piip, let's ride the carousel game!" The darkner announced, summoning a series of duck and horse-like toys that surrounded Copen. They moved up and down as they circled around him, slowly closing in. Not wanting to get crushed, the Adept Slayer performed a Bullit Dash directly forwards, a duck attempting to block his way out before being quickly destroyed by the scientist's Twintail Bunker.
Now soaring directly towards Jevil, Copen readied his Border II as he performed a pistol whip once more, trying to place a tag on his opponent. Jevil was quick to swing his scythe and block the attack, the two weapons clashing as a few sparks flew out from the contact zone. Despite the attack being blocked, Copen continued his assault, making use of his boosters and momentum to bounce upwards, Jevil raising his scythe again to slice through the Adept Slayer. Spending another Bullit, Copen delivered a powerful kick to the flat side of the scythe, knocking it aside and leaving Jevil himself wide open.
Using his third and final Bullit, Copen propelled himself directly towards the vulnerable darkner, his pistol finally making contact with the jester's face, the head briefly bouncing off his body, only attached to it by a spring. A triangular reticle appeared around Jevil, signifying a successful tag, the Adept Slayer promptly firing a barrage of lasers that curved through the air and homed in on Jevil, who brought up a wall of spades in an attempt to block them. The lasers simply curved around the spades and hit their mark, a look of surprise plastered on the darkner's face as the lasers struck him.
Copen wasn't done, switching EX Weapons to Vantage Raid and unleashing many disc-like projectiles that homed in on Jevil just like the lasers did. While they didn't do much damage to the jester, they did bind around his body, preventing him from moving around freely. After a few more seconds of this barrage of projectiles, the scientist's tag faded, lasers no longer homing in on his opponent. Despite having taken quite the amount of damage, Jevil didn't seem to be disheartened at all. He laughed maniacally, kicking his feet in the air as well as he could, still constricted by Vantage Raid.
"Nu-ha!! You're really good at this game! I never had such fun, fun!!" Jevil commented, Copen unable to comprehend his excitement. Perhaps he was simply insane. Quite suddenly, a series of bombs with spades in their center dropped from above, covering the area around the scientist to prevent an easy escape. Ten spades shot out evenly from each bomb once they hit the ground, releasing an absurd amount of spades in just a few moments, many of them heading in Copen's direction.
"Watch out, Boss!" Lola warned, switching EX Weapons to Stellar Spark to shoot down any spades coming from behind her creator, leaving him to deal with the ones coming from in front. He placed his arms in front of himself before crouching to become a smaller target, several spades striking his armor, leaving many marks in his White Tiger suit. Even though it had been made for greater mobility but lower defense compared to his Megante Leon armor, it was still fairly durable. It would take more than that to take him down.
Once this wave of attacks ended, Copen got back up, looking up at his opponent. The effects of Vantage Raid were about to fade, so he had to act quick before Jevil could break free. Making use of the single Bullit he'd gained from his earlier tag on Jevil, the scientist performed another Bullit Dash right as the Puppetmaster-based EX Weapon faded, the Adept Slayer scoring another tag on the darkner before he could fly or teleport away. Another wave of lasers flew towards Jevil, who tried to block as many as he could - though most of them still struck him.
The grin on Jevil's face seemed to falter somewhat, his small yellow pupils disappearing, the jester now simply floating in the air and no longer dancing. A series of diamonds emerged from below and stabbed away at Copen's power armor, these ones more fragile yet deadlier than the darkner's other deck-themed projectile. Copen leapt backwards to move out of the danger zone, quite a few diamonds still striking his armor, one of them even leaving a a gash on the Adept Slayer's cheek.
Copen's armor now looked fairly damaged, many black marks and even a few tiny holes now present in it. The few diamonds that had made it past the armor hadn't quite made it all the way to his bodysuit, but it was still remarkable damage. "Enough!!" Jevil spoke, still floating above the Adept Slayer. "You've tired me up!"
"Are you... forfeiting?" Lola questioned. It seemed rather strange for him to be acting like this all of a sudden. Jevil quickly went back to his usual grin, laughing before morphing into his scythe once more and disappearing.
"Kidding! Here's my final chaos!!"
The already dim area dimmed even further, only a few lights illuminating the indoor scrapyard. Out of nowhere, several scythes dropped from above one after another, covering the general area Copen stood on. They briefly created pillars of light once they hit the ground, making the impact area dangerous even after the initial attack had passed. Gritting his teeth, Copen made use of his excellent mobility to move out of the way of each scythe, Bullit Dashing away when several of them threatened to drop directly on top of him. He was holding his own for now, but their pace only seemed to quicken. Something terrible was coming...!
Copen and his partner kept trying their best to dodge the scythes, P-Bits spinning around as they charged a new EX Weapon. Eventually, a massive Devilsknife appeared out of nowhere, making its way directly towards the duo. They wouldn't be able to avoid this one. They had to counter it! The P-Bits fired a large purple prism at the Devilsknife, nowhere near as large as the giant scythe, but still very powerful, requiring almost all of Copen's weapon energy to fire. The projectiles clashed, causing a huge flash of light...
The light soon faded, chunks of Copen's Prism Break and Jevil's Devilsnife scattered along the ground. It seemed their strategy had worked. Jevil reappeared right in front of Copen, grin still present. Performing one last Bullit Dash towards Jevil, the Adept Slayer placed a tag on the darkner, firing a flurry of lasers towards Jevil, who seemed tired after that last attack.
"Time to end this." Copen muttered, still close to Jevil following his tag, having recovered a small amount of weapon energy. With two quick slashes of Hailstorm Blade, he knocked the darkner downwards. Without a moment's notice, the scientist performed an Impact Reload on top of Jevil, falling at incredible speeds before crushing him. The jester disappeared in a flash of light, the world around him fading as he put away his pistol.
- The Winner: Copen!
- The Loser: Jevil!
