Private/Closed Bootleg Bros. Ultimate - The Muspell Campaign

[Gamingfan]

Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight's attack missed as Navarre swiftly backed off. The Scarlet Sword moved liked the wind, leaving Shovel Knight considering his options. Thankfully, Navarre took a moment to answer his question, but his answer made Shovel Knight feel sick.

"-There is nothing we can do to resist. They tells us to kill, so we kill."

Shovel Knight's grip on his Shovel Blade tightened as he processed the "contract" he spoke of.

"So this is the work of a curse!" Shovel Knight concluded as Navarre leapt back. "Who has you under their spell?"

Navarre leapt forward as Shovel Knight stabbed his weapon into the ground, shoveling out a large pile of snow that briefly obscured him. The warrior swiftly dodged to the Knight's side to strike, but he would find Shovel Knight had vanished. There were no traces of the knight...save for a dug out hole in the ground.
Higher up the hill and behind Navarre, the burrower popped out of the snow. With his left arm, he pointed his Flare Wand at Navarre. The red gem flashed as it blasted a fast moving fireball, and Shovel Knight carefully aimed for a second one depending on how Navarre moved!

Akira Tadokoro

Confidence returned on the delinquent's face, having disabled one of the more imposing threats. And, because luck wasn't going his way today, that meant he got attacked close up right after.
And he couldn't exactly blame his attacker for being mad, what with the low blow.
Wait.
"Wait, you're up-" Akira barely moved his arms up in time, pulling back for a glancing blow that threw Akira off for a second. "Gah!" A grunt, followed by Akira retaliating with two punches. They were rough, marking the lack of a trained technique but rather experience on the streets, with power behind them. After throwing those out, Tadokoro moved to duck past the Ax-Fighter and get behind him.

"I've got you now...!"
Feel The Heat
Within a second, Akira's psychic powers flared up again, waving hands up and down as 4 image copies spread out diagonally from him. In the latter half of that moment, they transformed into a misty ring...
Which BURSTED into a circle of blue flames, attempting to burn through the soldier before the flames disappeared as quickly as they appeared.

After launching this, Akira looked down at his arms. Blood was back.
"Shit..." He'd have to heal that later. Or find a doctor.

 

[Captain Cardboard]

Seeing Bennett charge towards him, Merric raised his hand and performed a quick incantation. Winds whipped around him, creating an area of higher air pressure around the mage. The winds acted as a shield, reducing the power Bennett's explosive attack that struck Merric. Still, the wind mage was blasted back by the strike, sliding back several feet in the snow. He kept his footing, staring down Bennett through the red halo that floated around his head.
"You should have just stayed down." Merric warned Bennett. "I'm sorry."

The tornado around Gazpacho began to die down. The mage opened his tome once more and gestured to the adventurer. Winds whipped around Merric, and he fired another Excalibur attack at Bennett!

Caeda felt the shift of weight as the Crow's hookshot grappled onto her Pegasus. The Princess turned in the saddle, and with a quick swipe cut through the hookshot. She pulled on the reins of her Pegasus, stopping and turning her mount around in one quick motion. The winged horse took to the air, using its wings to leap towards the Crow. Once more, it attempted to crush the Crow beneath its hooves. Caeda anticipated the Crow to dodge the attack, and was ready to have her Pegasus move after the Crow so she could slash at them with her Wing Sword.

Navarre stared in shock at the hole in the snow that was now before him. How was it possible for a person to burrow that fast?! That was no magic. The first fireball struck Navarre in the back, knocking the Myrmidon forwards. He turned to face Shovel Knight once more, easily sidestepping the second fireball. He shrugged at Shovel Knight's question.
"Loki. General Laegjarn. General Laevatein. King Surtr. Were you not listening to what I said before? The leaders of Muspell." Navarre said. He raised his sword, and a green energy began to glow from it. "I've spoken enough. The time for words is over. We settle this with our blades. Blazing Wind."

Navarre raised his Killing Edge, and swiped it in front of him twice. The green energy burst out from the blade, and suddenly Shovel Knight was surrounded in a maelstorm of razor wind. So massive was the storm, a few blades of wind also shot towards Bennett! In an instant the winds dispersed, and the Scarlet Sword was upon Shovel Knight once more. He slashed at Shovel Knight, attempting to overwhelm the knight with sheer speed!

Minerva and her wyvern lay in the snow, still fast asleep. The ax fighter in combat against Akira was blasted back by the ring of fire. This time, the soldier would not be getting up.

From her spot on the hill, Loki continued watching the battle. These warriors from another world were putting up quite a stiff resistance. Her troops were nearly thoroughly decimated, only the heroes were left. Fakemon was nowhere to be seen. Either he was having fun just watching the fight, or had enough fun doing something else. Perhaps he had gone back to torment Princess Fjorm...

Loki's thoughts were interrupted as she felt a constrictive force around her throat. Her eyes widened as she was lifted off the ground by it, it was as if she was being choked! She was quick to locate the source, that smoldering young man with the energy sword and scar. Loki smiled at Anakin.
"My my, so forward!" Loki said to Anakin, her voice clear. It was as if she wasn't being choked at all! "At least take me out to dinner first, dear."
The tactician waved her staff, and a ring of glowing symbols appeared around Loki. The crystal at the end glowed a dark purple. Dark purple mist rose out of the ground around Anakin. It quickly surrounded the Jedi Knight, and detonated in a dark purple energy blast!

ANAKIN SKYWALKER​

His head tilted slightly to the side, conveying confusion at the unexpected response to his force choke. Anakin relinquished his hold, glancing down as purple mist began to rapidly rise around him. The gravity on his body was great, but he would not be overwhelmed so easily.

Focusing the force onto himself, Anakin was lifted quickly from the mist - just as it erupted.

Carried by the force, he left the gravity well and tucked into a roll, springing immediately up from it to close the distance rapidly toward Loki, dragging the tip of his lightsaber through the snow, leaving a glowing trail through it as the snow was vaporized.

“Sorry sister, that wasn’t my intention,” the jedi replied, springing forward over the woman to land on her other side to pull her attention away from his allies. They were making quick work of the nightsister’s lackeys, but if he could keep her from focusing on them...

That frustration still lingered inside, and Anakin found it strange how much easier that force choke had been to access. It was almost as though the dark side of the force... was stronger here...? That was a disturbing thought.

“How about we try dancing, instead?” Anakin asked, spinning his saber as he moved toward Loki.

Little Crow
HP- 6/6
MP- 5/6

The Crow saw Caede's blade wind up, and quickly put together what she was swiping at. With a tug, the chain speedily reeled in just before it was snapped. The Crow came to discover that the gravity effect on him had worn off as he shot past the pegasus and landed face-first in a pile of snow. He soon plucked his noggin from the ice, just in time to witness another attempt on his life in motion. He dodged to the side to avoid an equine end, but the enemy had wised since their battle had begun.

The Reaper was caught by Caede's blade, and a small shower of black plumage dotted the otherwise white landscape- with Little Crow himself being knocked back into the snow as well. He got up, hurt, yet far from beaten. The bird's expression showed that he wasn't pleased, and could be considered agitated. He held his wings to his side, and between the feathered appendages energy began to pool. The spell sucked in the surrounding snowflakes into low orbit around a volatile cyan orb. The power of the magic alone turned the ice crystals it collected into cool water.

Harnessing the (relatively) awesome power of this spell, the crow first aimed this attack at Caede, but, at the last second, spun on his talon to lob the shot at Loki's feet! It traveled quick as an arrow, and upon impact with the frosty earth, it would detonate with stone-shattering power. If Anakin happened to be caught in the blast, he would find himself unharmed, as since this spell was upgraded, it gained the ability to differentiate ally and enemy.

HP- 5/6
MP- 3/6

Nikki Prez
Nikki was huffing as she remained elbow-deep in her bag, cursing herself for not being as organized with her items as Rosemarie. She was navigating around two years worth of trinkets- she had a separate pouch for spare Pokeballs, she really needed to do the same for potions. Climbing back onto Gazpacho, she tried to get a sense of how damaged he was. The slashes of wind had been unforgiving, but to Nikki’s relief, the bird seemed to have fight left in him, spreading his wings once again and staring intently at the wind mage in the distance, beak raised in disapproval.

Bennett was attacking the enemy to protect both her and Gazpacho, but in turn, he was about to be on the receiving end of a second tornado attack. Considering he hadn’t taken the first one very well, Nikki knew she needed to intervene, and she knew exactly how she needed to do it, taking a deep breath. The first part of the strategy had been set in motion already.

“FORWAAARD!” she let out a war cry, prompting the Windrome to rush forth, his talons stomping down into the snow as he hurried in the direction of the mage.

The truth was, Gazpacho wasn’t much of a ranged attacker- in fact, he didn’t have a single ranged attack in his arsenal. But he also didn’t have to- in this moment, all they had to do was intercept this guy’s attention, stomp forward threateningly to bait him- for right behind Merric, something was rising up from the snow in stealthy fashion. It was none other than Skyr, fresh off of bulking up with her earlier Power-Up Punch, the shy Pokemon’s arm pulled back and accumulating frost crystals. A nasty Ice Punch was coming directly toward Merric, assuming the combination of Skyr’s sneaky approach and Nikki’s approaching distraction proved effective.

Akira Tadokoro

Akira glared at the taken down warrior, turning away and getting a good look at the rest of the fight. There was three direct threats still awake and fighting, with Loki in the background against Anakin. Good, kept her off the rest of them. So, Akira had a choice to make - Assist the blue Shovel Knight against a red swordsman, get the pegasus knight off of the little Crow, or fight off a mage, as reaching Loki and Anakin seemed out of the question. The sleeping wyvern knight - Dragon knight? Akira really didn't know - would probably wake up soonish, too, so acting fast was pivotal.

And act quick he did.
A dash forward, first. It seemed the weight was gone, thankfully. The chosen focus was towards Little Crow's fight. Leaping forward, he threw out a blow towards Caeda with a jumping punch! Upon landing, this would be followed by placing a hand on the Crow's head.
"Get it together!"
Healing Touch
Psychokinetic energy flowed, benefitting the Crow slightly with a healing touch. Then, a head turned to Caeda. "Hey! Come at me, asshole! I'll knock you clean out!" It was certainly a boast, one Akira intended to back up. He was prepared to summon his Guardian Angel if harmed again, and went to try and get up closer to Caeda. Unfortunately, seeing as she was on a large steed, this would be difficult at best. So, he'd supplement the approach with a use of Behind You, once more taking a notable second to charge before unleashing copies which turned to sleet cutters - Targetting the mind for a frightening effect.

Shovel Knight

The man seemed to tire of his questions. It looked like Shovel Knight got all the information that he could from Navarre.
"Very well." Shovel Knight agreed with a nod. "You have my thanks."
Green energy built around Navarre's blade, before being thrown forward as he slashed twice. The energy spawned a tornado of harsh winds around the Knight, crescent projectiles flying in from all directions. Shovel Knight reached into his inventory, gripping onto a heart-shaped locket just as they began to whip and strike his armor.
Navarre attacked the instant the maelstrom dispersed, but would see his sword phasing through Shovel Knight, who had become a pale, ghostly white! The effect faded fast though, so Shovel Knight would swiftly punish Navarre with rapid stabs of his shovel before finishing with an uppercut! At the same time, the Phase Locket lost its shimmer, and he turned back to normal.
