"Teams, please send out your next fighter!" Koto instructs, gesturing between your team and that of your opponents.

Bruce drags Aalgan away from the ring, while Kasai steps towards it, her cloak billowing her behind her as she hops up.

"I'll go," she tells you.

Across the ring, you can see the old man on team Tatcheburu hop up as well, moving with surprising ease for someone who appears so old.

"Good luck," you tell her as she begins walking towards the ring's center.

The old man smiles as he moves to meet her, and the crowd goes nuts, shouting curses down at your friend, who doesn't give any indication of having heard them.

"Human loving filth!" one shouts. "I hope they rip you apart!"

"Yeah, come on, let's see some blood!" another agrees.

"From team Luke, we have the fire apparition Kasai!" Koto announces. "And from team Tatcheburu, we have Panthos!"

The old man smiles up at the crowd. Kasai puts one foot back and holds her arms at her sides. As you watch, her body erupts into flames, the heat so intense it makes Bruce sweat from his spot behind you. You find yourself oddly unaffected, and Kara seems to be using her Spirit Energy to shield herself from the heat.

"Kasai's covered herself in gorgeous flames before the battle's even begun," Koto informs the crowd. "I think it's safe to say she won't be holding anything back."

The old man chuckles. "I would like it no other way."

Something about him seems off. If you didn't know any better, you'd say he's worried, where he wasn't a second ago.

It looks like Kasai has this in the bag.

"Let the match begin!" Koto shouts before leaping backward to avoid any flying fire Kasai might unleash.

Kasai drops into a somewhat sloppy guarding stance, waiting for the old man to attack. He doesn't, and instead takes a step back. Kasai thrusts a palm towards him, and a jet of flame shoots from it.

Panthos scurries out of the way, looking over his shoulder and crying out in fear as flames continue to pour from Kasai's hand, changing direction to chase him.

"So, what do you think?" you ask Kara.

"Something doesn't feel right," she answers. "Kasai stepped into the ring first, and they had to have known who she was. So why would they let this guy fight her if he's this unprepared to do it?"

Kasai holds out her other hand, creating a second torrent of flames that pursues her target relentlessly, soon trapping him between the two arcing fires.

Panthos quickly produces a box, and dives out of the path of the two fires while opening it. As he lands on his stomach, he throws a small vial at Kasai. It shatters on impact, covering your friend in a strange blue powder.

Kasai stops fueling her flames and takes a surprised step back, the fire on her body dying as well. Panthos, catching his breath, stands back up.

"That was close," he admits. "I was actually worried there."

Kasai looks at him in confusion, then thrusts her hand towards him. Her expression only becomes more confused as she stares down at her hand, which is not producing any flames. She tries using her other hand, but with the same results.

"Are you getting the hint yet, young lady?" Panthos asks with a laugh. "That powder covering you prevents any outer manifestations of your Spirit Energy. That means no more flames."

Kasai looks down at her hands, and futilely attempts to create more flames. You see uncertainty, and even a trace of fear appear on her face as she lowers her hands to her sides.

Can elementals shed their form, like how snakes shed their skin. Can Kasai just shed from the powder?

>>42225664
Just that they can eat anything, but prefer trees or dry wood.
And that she probably has a ton of sisters out there.

She just needs to light her blood on fire and she'll win

Like a mecha pilot
>>
>>42225422
"He said external uses!" you point out. "Focus your inner fire and beat the shit out of him!"

Kasai nods, removing her cloak and tossing it to the side. You're pretty sure you can hear Bruce's jaw drop as she steps forward in nothing but that leotard of hers.

Panthos smirks. "Yes, that's an excellent point. With your level of Spirit Energy, you're still very dangerous."

Kasai sprints towards him, leaping into the air and spinning as she prepares to kick him in the head.

"Luckily, I have something for that as well."

He reaches back into his box, only to be kicked in the head as he removes his hand. The box drops from his grip as he slides out of the ring, landing with a grunt out of bounds.

"Panthos is out of the ring!" Koto announces. "I'll start the countdown! One!"

Panthos pushes himself to his feet, standing just outside of the ring by the count of three. Yet, as Koto continues the countdown, he doesn't make any move to step back in, until she hits eight.

"That should be long enough," he says as he hops back in.

Kasai throws a kick at Panthos, but he ducks out of the way and runs towards the ring's center. Kasai whirls and runs after him, throwing a punch that, to your surprise, he catches quite easily.

Smirking, he pulls back his own fist and punches Kasai in the face, sending her sprawling onto her back.

"Now, now, my dear, you really shouldn't try to fight me any longer," Panthos tells her as he looks down on her. "Just stay down and wait to die."

>>42225773
You don't know why Kasai has suddenly found herself unable to fight back against her opponent. You can tell that, in normal circumstances, Panthos would be unable to overpower her. And, seconds ago, she was able to knock him right out of the ring.

So why the sudden change?

Looking closely, you notice what looks like tiny lumps littering her leotard. And, as you look closer, you can see that they're starting to wriggle around.

The movement gets Kasai's attention, and she looks down at the tiny things in shock. She reaches down and grips one, only to wince in pain as she tries to pull it away, ultimately releasing it.

"They're called Spirit Leeches," Panthos explains as he enjoys Kasai's futile gesture. "And, as you might guess, they're a type of creature that suck the Spirit Energy from their victims, not stopping until there's nothing left, and their victim has died."

Kasai pushes herself back to her feet, and feebly throws another punch at Panthos, only to stagger backwards as he backhands her in the face.

Cursing, Kasai leaps into the air, her ascent much slower than it should be. You immediately sense something strange about her energy, and Kara's eyes go wide.

"No, she wouldn't!" Kara cries.

Kasai hovers in the air, slowly turning upside down and bringing her hands to her sides.

"Fireb-b-agh!" she grunts as she falls from the sky, crashing hard to the ring below.

"I don't know what just happened, but Kasai has fallen right out of the sky!" Koto shouts. "At this rate, she's going to be a bloody mess in no time! I hope you're watching carefully, folks!"

"Perfect," Panthos says as he steps towards your fallen friend, who desperately tries to push herself up.

Kasai groans in pain and frustration as she lifts her upper body, struggling to stand.

"Let me help you with that," Panthos tells her before kicking her in the face, sending her sprawling once again.

>Continued
>>
>>42226063
He laughs, stomping on her stomach and causing her to spit up blood. He does this again, and again as she cries out in pain, soon being drowned out by the excited cries of the demons in the audience.

"Well, she may still be getting pummeled, but she is down!" Koto announces. "So, I have no choice but to start the countdown!"

"No need," Panthos assures her, grabbing Kasai by the hair and pulling her back to her feet.

Kasai feebly tries to punch again, but Panthos punches her in the face with his other hand before she has the chance. When he pulls his fist back, it has blood on it. You can see the substance dripping down Kasai's face, her nose not looking like it's supposed to.

Panthos knees her in the gut before spinning and tossing her back towards his team. Kasai tries pushing herself up again, and appears to attempt to crawl out of the ring. But, Panthos doesn't let her.

Grabbing Kasai by the ankle, he pulls her back towards him before firmly planting his foot on the back of her head. He grinds his foot on top of her, and she screams, much to the delight of the audience.

At your side, Kara fumes, shaking with anger and looking about ready to jump into the ring and kill Panthos herself, rules be damned.

"Kasai is down again!" Koto calls.

"No she isn't," Panthos insists, grabbing Kasai by the back of the neck and picking her back up.

>>42226264
"Kasai, just give up!" you shout.

"I-I give-" she starts before Panthos claps his hand over her mouth.

"Sorry, what was that?" he asks before punching her right in the kidney.

Kasai's body jerks as he strikes her again and again and again. The crowds roars of approval have grown less intense, and even Koto is beginning to look uncomfortable with all of this.

"Look folks, I love suffering as much as the next girl, but this is just too much," she comments as blood hits the floor in front of Kasai.

"Somebody, make him stop!" you hear Lucy shout from the audience.

You glance back and see Kaya getting up, her oar appearing out of thin air as she jumps down from the stands and rushes towards the ring. After a moment of hesitation, Lucy follows.

Sighing, Kara moves between them, blocking their path.

"Get out of the way, Kara!" Kaya demands, tears in her eyes as she watches Kasai continue to get pummeled.

Kara shakes her head, and Bruce walks to her side.

"There's nothing either of you can do," he tells them.

"But she'll die!" Lucy protests, trying to rush past Bruce, only for him to grab her by the wrist.

"Let go of me, Bruce!" she shouts, kicking him in the groin and rushing towards the ring.

Kara sighs, running and grabbing Lucy as Bruce writhes on the ground. Meanwhile, Kaya takes to the air, only to have her ankle grabbed by Kara, who pulls her back down.

Back in the ring, Panthos continues to mercilessly beat your friend.

"Tatcheburu, make him stop!" you shout to the captain of the opposing team.

"Now, why would I do something like that?" he asks. "This isn't my battle, and I have no place interfering."

Panthos looks over his shoulder at you, turning and holding out an unconscious Kasai.

"What's wrong?" he asks. "Don't like seeing your little friend get hurt?"

You growl. "If you want a damn bloody show, then I'll give you one!"

"What do you mean?" Panthos asks.

"I'll fight what's left of your team all by myself," you announce.

"Now that could be fun," the small, clawed creature tells his teammates eagerly.

"And an easy win," Panthos remarks, looking back to you. "You know that, when you lose this fight, you're going to die, right? And I'm sure plenty of other demons here will kill anybody on your team that we don't."

>>42227126
They'll probably expect that from the start. If anything we have to outwit these guys by doing some unexpected things. Like make it seem we are aiming at Panthos by charging at him from the start, even though I want to kill the guy, then switch targets at the last second, probably use the spirit blast to gives an extra push in our charge and fire kick the second demon. Make a fireball taking aim at Tacheburu then switching targets again. Stuff that they can't see coming
>>
>>42227075
"I'll fight," you insist. "Now drop Kasai."

Panthos looks at Tacheburu, who gives a nod. The old man drops your friend, and Koto quickly counts to ten. The instant the count is over, you rush into the ring and retrieve her, carrying her gently back to your side.

"Give her here," Kaya tells you, taking the demon from your hands. "I'll do what I can to get her fixed up, but these leeches are going to be trouble."

"I'll help you out," Kara tells her, and the two women leave the stadium, leaving you alone with Bruce and Lucy.

Tatcheburu jumps into the ring, and the clawed creature follows. The trio you'll be fighting slowly walks to the center, and you move to meet them.

"Hold on, guys," Koto says. "This isn't up to you to decide, we need to wait for the committee to vote."

"Oh, by all means, let them take their time," Tatcheburu tells her, smiling at you.

"So kid, are you ready to die?" Panthos asks.

Laugh at that comment then
"Funny, when I first became a spirit detective and heard what I had to do in that job I expected that I would really die from one false slip up. And I was right, the cases I'v been I nearly died in, even when I was fired from being a detective I ended up dragging myself further into death's door by working with Koe, sending me on even more tougher missions and harsher training that I had to endure. But I can't help, but laugh at something so stupid coming from demons that haven't seen a real hell as I'v had"

"Nah, I'm gonna wait a while," you answer. "But why don't you let me know how death is once I kill you?"

"You're going to die," the little creature sings. "Going to die, going to die! We'll rip you apart."

"What our friend here said," Panthos confirms. "Fighting us three on one is not a very smart move. I have all sorts of surprises left that will be great for handling you."

Tatcheburu remains silent, the grin not leaving his face.

The crowd begins to grow impatient, screaming for the fights to resume so that they can see some blood.

"Well boys, good news, the committee has voted to allow your match," Koto announces. "John, in order to win the round, you'll have to defeat all three of them."

"Four, actually," Panthos corrects. "He promised to fight what's left of our team, and Wanisob is still alive."

"True," Tatcheburu says, glancing over his shoulder and frowning. "Where did he go?"

"Who cares? the clawed thing asks. "Let's just kill this human!"

"Sounds like a plan to me," Panthos decides.

"FIGHT!" Koto shouts.

Fake charge at Panthos, then switch targets to the Clawed demon, Spirit blast the ground to give us a boost in speed and flame kick from the ring. Then create two fireballs and toss them at Tacheburu who is going to avoid them, but they were just a distraction anyways since our target was Panthos who is probably getting something from his box, spirit gun that stuff and dodge the incoming Tacheburu from the sky.
>>
>>42227898
>>42227884
I'm changing to this because it is super badass.
Also lets have those fireballs double back and cover our 6.

But seriously fuck this old dude and his box
>>
>>42227838
You thrust your hands towards your foes, unleashing torrents of flames and ultimately catching them off-guard.

Panthos shrieks in pain as the flames engulf him, and the tiny alien howls in retreat. Tatcheburu scowls and leaps back to avoid the fire, and you rush towards the clawed creature, thrusting your hand towards the ground and using a Spirit Blat to launch yourself at him.

Your foot becomes surrounded by flames as you kick him in the throat, sending him flying out of the ring and crashing to the ground beyond.

"Unreal!" Koto shouts. "John has already knocked one of his opponents out of the ring, and put the other two on the defensive!"

You hear some dissatisfied noise from the crowd as you land and spin, conjuring a pair of fireballs and throwing them at Tatcheburu. As he leaps out of the way, you turn towards Panthos, who, as you expected, is reaching into his box. You point your index finger at him, and it begins to glow.

"SPIRIT GUN!" you shout, firing a thin beam of your Spirit Energy.

It strikes the box, causing it to fall apart. But, your attack doesn't stop there, and hits Panthos in the chest, sending him flying from the ring and crashing into the stadium wall hard enough to crack it. The demon slumps to the ground, going till.

You leap back to avoid a kick from Tatcheburu as he descends, quickly falling on the defensive as he rushes after you and attacks with a swift barrage.

Meanwhile, the clawed creature has climbed back into the ring, and looks awfully pissed at you. He spreads his hands apart, lowering the left and raising the right. He lifts each one up and down, and they begin to crackle with electricity.

Tatcheburu leaps back.

>A. Chase Tatcheburu
Block any of his attacks and try and get him in place so the Clawed guy's attack hits him. If anything we have to make it hard for the Clawed guy to hit us with his electrical attack, unless he isn't afraid to shot his friend, then it might be a good idea to prepare a spirit gun to make our dodge even faster by shooting at the ground or at the attack to swerve us.

You rush after Tatcheburu as Claws thrusts his hands towards you, shooting a yellow bolt that strikes through empty air as you rush after your fleeing foe, who dodges you just as you dodged claws, resulting in you similarly making a useless hit at the air.

You spin, taking aim at Claws as he prepares another attack. Before you can fire your Spirit Gun, however, you feel a stabbing pain in your right leg, which soon gives out on you, causing you to collapse to one knee.

Claws readies another attack, and you hiss in pain as your other leg is hit, and collapses under your weight, leaving you face-down on the ground. You look up to see Claws thrusting his hands towards you.

Kasai is fine, she just got fucked over by that stupid box. Next time we need to agree on no items for the next team. Bruce is okayish since he did win his match, just that he acted a bit to cocky and let the himself get ensnared by that demons ability. And Aalgan needs to stop show boating and just fight smart instead of trying to show off.
>>
>>42228836
>A. Shield yourself with Spirit Energy
I wish this quest had rolls so it was less about making sure Som agrees that our plan is good
>>
>>42228941
Alright.

More fire training is good too.

Will we use a phoenix like Kasai or make a different flame animal?
>>
>>42228877
>implying we will win this fight and survive to train
we just lost the use of both of our legs
>>
>>42228987
yea
yea
>>
>>42228987
Shield with spirit and fire?
>>
>>42228873
You handspring into the air, narrowly avoiding getting zapped. You take aim at Claws with your index finger, gathering your Spirit Energy.

"SPIRIT GUN!" you shout, firing a beam of your Spirit Energy at the creature.

He scurries out of the way just in time, and your attack instead puts a large hole in the ground where he was a moment ago. Cursing, you crash painfully back to the ground, sliding towards the edge of the ring.

You wince in pain as you feel a stabbing pain in your left arm, which goes limp at your side.

"John is down, and he seems to have lost the use of his legs, and his left arm!" Koto shouts. "And, since he's down, I'd better start the count! One! Two!"

You glance around, seeing Claws preparing another attack, but waiting to use it. Tatcheburu stares at you, his index finger pointed at your right arm. His eyes convey a silent warning to stay down.

"Five! Six!" Koto continues.

>A. Stay down

>B. Handspring

>C. Spirit Explosion

>D. Spirit Gun

>E. Activate your suit

>F. Flame Jet

>G. Set yourself on fire

>H. Something else
>>
>>42229161
>E. Activate your suit
Then we set ourselves on fire and make a big firey explosion by expanding the flames
>>
>>42229161
>C. Spirit Explosion
>E. Activate your suit
What the fuck is actually paralyzing us? This is bullshit
>>
>>42229161
>>C. Spirit Explosion
Shit i don't know
>>
>>42229161
>>E. Activate your suit
more defense? maybe G? I don't know guys
>>
>>42229199
>Tatcheburu stares at you, his index finger pointed at your right arm. His eyes convey a silent warning to stay down.

He shoot fucking needles or something at our nerves in our arms and legs
>>
>>42229199
It's the other member they mentioned. He's probably invisible. Also why weren't we fucking wearing the suit already? Is John just retarded?
>>
>>42229161
Does activating our suit have any sort of regenerative or defensive effect? I don't remember what it does besides look cool and have magic pockets
>>
>>42229161
What the fuck, I thought we already had our suit on, man
Why the fuck wouldn't we put our suit on before going on? How stupid do you think john is?
Shit wasn't even an option.
>>
>>42229161
>>B. Handspring
>>C. Spirit Explosion
>>
>>42229161
>C. Spirit Explosion
>E. Activate your suit
I bet it will also take us off the ground for a bit, restarting the counter.
>>
>>42229253
This. We'll send the other member flying.
>>
>>42229222
Yeah you're probably right. Shit.
>>
>>42229233
>>42229222
He never had the suit on since he wasn't fighting, then Kasai started taking a beating similar to Videl vs Spopovich, making John's mind not somewhere along the lines "Better get my suit" but more "I'm going to kill this guy for what he did"
>>
>>42229296
It should just be a reflex any time he fights at this point
>>
>>42229224
It has a slight defensive effect but it's too fucking late for that now.
>>
>>42229296
Reiterated. How stupid do you think John is?
You don't go into a fight with 3+ people WITHOUT PUTTING ON YOUR DEFENSIVE GEAR.
You have to be LITERALLY RETARDED not to, especially if you have a history of brawling with people, and you recently have been fighting things that would otherwise kill you.
The fact that there wasn't even an option to do so makes this doubly fucking retarded.
>>
>>42229199
>>42229239

You yell loudly, sending your Spirit Energy flying everywhere, sending Koto screaming from the ring, and knocking your two assailants away. You say the word, and your body erupts into flames as you handspring into the air, slowly becoming covered in armor as you descend back to the ground, crashing hard once again, but being hurt less this time.

"Hey, warn a girl next time before you do something like that!" Koto yells as she climbs back into the ring. "Well folks, John is down again! I'll resume the count!"

"Don't bother," Tatcheburu says, stepping back into the ring. "He won't be getting back up."

He slowly approaches, kneeling in front of you and looking into the eyes of your helmet. "Listen very carefully, John. If you get up or make any move to attack me now, I am going to kill you. Stay down, and I'll let you live."

"Uh...I have to start the count," Koto informs him. "Sorry. One! Two!"

"Look, this was not a fair fight," Tatcheburu tells you. "You managed to kill two members of my team, even with me here to stop you. If this battle had been one on one, I'd probably be dead right now. Killing you is really no fun when I know I couldn't do it on my own. So I'm going to let you live for now, so I can kill you when I get stronger."

"Five! Six!" Koto continues.

"Stay down, or say you give up," Tatcheburu instructs. "I don't care which."

>A. Stay down

>B. Give up

>C. Spirit Blast

>D. Spirit Gun

>E. Spirit Explosion

>F. Something else
>>
>>42229467
>E. Spirit Explosion
>>
>>42229350
It's pretty much the equivalent of a DM saying "You never said you took your stuff from the inn before you left, it's still there!"
Which, as I'm sure we all are aware by now, is the shittiest possible way of handling the situation.

>>42229467
>Try to cover him in a Flame Jet while he's kneeling.
>>
>>42229467

>E. Spirit Explosion
>>
>>42229467
Spirit explosion doesn't give any sort of warning right? He won't be able to tell we're about to use it or anything?
>>
>>42229529
Nope, you're fine
>>
>>42229467
>E. Spirit Explosion
i can't believe he got close to us again right after seeing our spirit explosion
>>
>>42229467
>E. Spirit Explosion
>>
>>42229467
>E. Spirit Explosion
Vent pretty much everything. Its best of five. Can't afford to be eliminated like this.
>>
>>42229467
>E. Spirit Explosion
Make sure to get up off the ground again somehow too
>>
We can't combine our flames with the spirit explosion and pull a saibamen on him can we? Then again John only has one good arm so he wouldn't be able to hold on tight.
>>
>>42229607
And no, I don't mean a suicide attack. I mean us basically making sure he can't escape as we roast him in a fiery explosion.
>>
>>42229607
No for some reason Somnius said we can't combine fire with our other spirit attacks. He never lets us come up with any new moves ourselves.
>>
>>42229501
With a yell, you unleash another Spirit Explosion, hearing Koto curse as she's thrown from the ring a second time. Tatcheburu yells as he's blasted from the ring again.

You see him crash onto his back outside of the ring, and, as Koto nears the end of her count, you spring back into the air, forcing her to start over for you. Soon, the count of ten is reached, but, as Tatcheburu hit the ground before you got back down, his time expired first, making you the winner.

"The first match of the Dark Tournament goes to team Luke!" Koto announces to the jeers and boos of the crowd.

Bruce jumps into the ring and runs over to you, picking you up and carrying you back to your side. As the crowd continues to go nuts with anger, your friend carries you to a medical wing, where you find Kasai being treated by Kaya, Kara, and a pair of demon nurses.

"Oh, for pity's sake!" Kaya yells when she sees the state you're in.

She rushes over and helps get you into bed as Kara barrages Bruce with questions about what happened. As Bruce does his best to explain, Kaya instructs you to deactivate your suit so she can see your wounds. You oblige, removing your armor. As Kaya gets to work, Lucy looks at you in disbelief.

"They...really hurt you..." she says softly.

>A. You've had worse

>B. You'll be fine

>C. Ask how Kasai is

>D. Dialogue writein

>E. Something else
>>
>>42229694
>B. You'll be fine
>C. Ask how Kasai is
>>
>>42229656
Yeeeah, so far we've gotten pretty basic moves. "Spirit gun". "Spirit blast-not-shotgun-i-swear". "Spirit explosion". "Fire hands oo". "Fire kicks i swear they're diff". "Fireball, exactly like every other fireball in fiction". "Flame jet, definitely not like every other flame jets you see out there"
>>
>>42229694
>C. Ask how Kasai is
>>
>>42229694
>D. Dialogue writein
"Yeah, but I'll be fine. I'm tougher than I look. How's Kasai doing?"
>>
>>42229694
>B. You'll be fine
>C. Ask how Kasai is
I'm doing better than those guys I fought at least.
>>
>>42229694>>42229694
The dark tournament has wonderful medical team.

Totally not the next team of demons we swear..

Time to talk to the bosses.
>>
>>42229694
>C. Ask how Kasai is
>>
>>42229694
>>D. Dialogue writein
I'd say you should see the other guys but, there isn't really much left to see.

>C. Ask how Kasai is
>>
>>42229759
"Yeah, but I'll be fine," you promise. "I'm tougher than I look. How's Kasai doing?"

"She should be fine," Kara tells you. "She's just lucky we were able to get those leeches off of her when we did."

"She'll probably need a few days to fully recover," Kaya tells you. "And it looks like you might need even more time. You seem to have serious nerve damage."

"Great," Bruce comments, "So that mostly leaves the next round up to me Kara, and...oh shit."

"What's wrong?" Lucy asks him.

"We left Aalgan out in the stadium!"

Meanwhile, out in the stadium, Aalgan lies on the ground, being endlessly pelted by beer cans and peanuts. Though not fully conscious, he is able to form one persistent thought.

"I hate you guys..."

>To be continued

That's it for tonight guys, hope y'all had fun. Next update should be sometime this week. Follow me @qmdralo to see when it's up. In the meantime, I'll stay here a while to answer questions and discuss the quest
>>
>>42229908
so how big was the pot on us loosing the three way fight?
>>
>>42229908
What did everyone think when we volunteered to fight them all to save Kasai
>>
>>42229908
What was paralyzing us? Is the next thread just gonna be watching more fights?
>>
>>42229908
Team Beliels thoughts on watching the fight?
>>
>>42229908
That's what you get for not dodging.

Also was his poison mahou's or his own?
>>
>>42229908
Why did you decide to make John retarded and not put his suit on before entering?
I recall you've done this with a few other previous fights, and it's really irked me.
Stop that. We're a trained fighter, and john definitely should know better by now than to not wear the suit into what OBVIOUSLY will be a fight.
>>
>>42229921
Bruce: Man, he's whipped.

Kara: I hope he knows what he's doing

Kaya: Be careful...and make them hurt

Lucy: Kick the old man in the dick!

>>42229920
Many people lost money

>>42229935
Projectiles that hit nerves

>>42229936
He doesn't have a chance
>>
>>42229944
Mahou's.

>>42229956
>Seen me do it before

>Surprised when I do it now

I'm not sure I follow
>>
>>42229971
Stop fucking doing it. John isn't retarded. You aren't even giving us the option to have him put it on beforehand.
It's shit QMing.
>>
>>42229959
>He doesn't have a chance
Was that during or after we won?
>>
>>42229971
How often does our team have to fight? Is it daily?
>>
>>42230001
Both
>>
>>42230007
Rounds are usually every two days
>>
>>42229998
Apparently we just need to never take it off
>>
>>42230022
We are going to get "bad" touched by the nurses aren't we?
>>
>>42230025
Apparently.
Let's have koe weld it onto us, since otherwise we'll find ways to stupidly leave it off before every potentially challenging fight for the sake of getting much more injured than we otherwise would be.
>>
>>42230022
Is Bruce the only one who suspects that we have a thing for kasai? What did Koe and koenma think about our fights today?
>>
>>42230028
You might have to turn your head and cough at some point.
>>
>>42230043
Whats the opinion of our team mates towards each other?
>>
>>42230039
No, Kara's pretty sure you do too.

And Aalgan

Kaya and Lucy haven't been paying very close attention.
>>
>>42229959
lmao Bruce
>>
>>42230057
Bruce is pretty cool with everyone, though Kara scares him a bit.

Kara respects you, and somewhat respects Kasai, but she doesn't really trust Aalgan. She's pretty indifferent to Bruce.

Aalgan's indifferent to pretty much all of you

Kasai cares about you, and to a much lesser extent, Bruce. She's indifferent to Aalgan, and doesn't really like Kara.
>>
>>42230090
Koenma and koe's opinions?
And everyone's opinion on them, of course.
>>
>>42230090
Which demons did we kill?
>>
Well if anything our being out of the fight with Kasai means we more bonding team with team mates that aren't fighting or bonding time with Kaya, get some more background on our gang.
>>
>>42230108
Koe sees you as his most valued ally, and is often impressed by your courage and skill. He sees Aalgan as a valuable follower, but doesn't care for his attitude. He believes Kasai is very helpful to you, and likes her for that reason, similar to his feelings towards Bruce. He's wary of Kara, but respects her strength.

Kara doesn't trust Koe

Aalgan kind of respects Koe, but doesn't like taking orders

Kasai respects him

Bruce doesn't know what to think about Koe.

Koenma is impressed by how far you've come, and trusts you. He's pleased with how far Kara's come, and trusts her greatly. He thinks Kasai is a good ally for you, but is somewhat suspicious of Aalgan. He likes Bruce.

Bruce thinks Koenma is strange

Kara respects him, but feels weird when he takes his older form

Kasai respects him, but doesn't like him

Aalgan doesn't like or respect him

>>42230129
Panthos and Claw.

>>42230133
Way to be half full.
>>
>>42230180
So can John finally do that Spirit fire gun now that he's stronger with fire magic that it won't back fire on him?
>>
>>42230180
Do any of the demons know that we're working with Koe?
>>
>>42230214
Kasai and Aalgan do, of course.

Belial does, as does his master.
>>
>>42230180
Did Bruce and Aalgan become friends at all while they were training and fighting together alone?
>>
>>42230231
I meant any demons fighting in the tournament
>>
>>42230206
ultimate technique?

any chance we can recover in time for the next match? even if not at full strength?
>>
>>42230231
What does Koe dream of when he goes to sleep?
Kasai?
Aalgan?

Koenma?
Kaya?
>>
>>42230233
Sort of.

>>42230257
Not if Koe can help it
>>
>>42230272
You don't want to know

Burning forests and houses

Money

Being bigger

Hamburgers
>>
>>42230292
What does lucy dream about?
John and bruce, right?
What do they do in those dreams?
>>
>>42230292
Why are you so opposed to letting us combine or modify spirit attack techniques
>>
>>42230311
Homework
>>
>>42230338
Yeah he could at least give us some options to choose from during training. It's kinda been bugging me.
>>
>>42230338
I thought we needed more training in both aspects.
>>
>>42230344
How much did we injure the demons we didn't kill today
>>
Oh geez, SOM.

Forcing your fights to be one sided again.

Look, spare us the artificial difficulty, it's getting stale.

I go away for a while and I get a buncha bitching about the suit.

Surprised no one bitched about getting hit by projectiles without any warning, or hint that we did, just "WELP, MY LEGS DON'T WORK! THAT'S NORMAL, NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HERE!". I mean, sure, it was obvious one of our opponents was doing it, it was obvious who was doing it because you continually neglected to bring up said character.

Really now, SOM. I'm floored that you didn't have Gator-fag pop in and bite us at fucking random "HAHA! I have paralyzed you!".

Ah hell, SOM, I'm actually getting inured to your shit! It's not even frustrating anymore, it's just tiring!

Maybe we need to see different people.
>>
>>42230660
>inb4 "H-He did point it out towards the end with Tsublahblah pointing at you"

Yeah, at the end. Let's also take note, where did we feel the pain in our legs, hmm?

>Oh, at the back

So you're going to tell me we turned our back on an enemy, and didn't make sure we were positioned in a way so we could see them both. Which is "Fighting multiple people 101". Riiiight.

>No, it was in the front!

And we didn't notice him flicking/throwing/doingfuckinganythingwithhishands? Pls. Just, PLS.

You're silly, SOM. You can say John is a good fighter if he doesn't even have the basics of being a good fighter down.

Just for argument's sake.

Ya fuckin' control freak!

Gib waifustuff nao pls.
>>
Nerves do not work that way.
Goodnight!
