Chapter 28: Chapter 4 Episode 25
"Salutations!" spoke a slender man materializing in the center of the amphitheater with a wave and flip of his hair. "Today. We the City of Tajir and my fellow dignitaries invite you to a grand event in the likes few have seen and few will ever witness. The execution of the Elegant Seductress Nutri The Acquirer or for better connotations Nutri The SouBe." Watching the awe and shock in the audience's face as a light screen picture of Nutri appeared behind him. "Don't be fooled by this woman for she is a devourer of souls, destroyer of homes, and the cause of the downfall of a whole city. Tonight justice will be held and our city Tajir will be the authority ensuring the safety and peace of not only our beloved city but the entire balance of all things. Monsters like this only plagues the world and must be dealt with accordingly." Grinning at the cheers and applause coming from the crowd. "Tonight we will become legends for tonight will brand its mark on all of us for the rest of our lives." Peering off at the soft wonderful glow coming from the sun he turned to his right. "With that being said I hope you enjoy the rest of the day Spokes I leave them to you,"
Waiting until after the official digitized like data and disappeared the announcer turned to his crowd. "Hello Tajir, the moment is finally here. It took seven days to wait but make no mistake, we wish you no pain but only to entertain. Since we are here we might as well bring out Lyr." Growing out of the ground like a plant a man with the complexion of wet sand sprouted into the ring with a wave followed by a laugh. "Now let's not forget the man who always sticks to his code Mono." Teleporting into the coliseum a man with a bull head, top hat, bowed then did a little dance while tugging his sleeveless coat.
"Grandswan Lyr!"
"Mono The Obstacle!"
Smiling at the hooting, hollering, and cheers coming from the crowd the commentator raised his arm to silence the crowd. Pausing for dramatic effect the speaker's eyes slid across the audience sensing, feeling the anxiousness radiating off them. "Sit in your seats and don't squirmish because now we reveal our challenger, the Skirmish."
Becoming wide-eyed at the appearance of a golden pentagram forming on the ground the crowd leaned forward to the edge of the seats at the ascension of a red and blue three horned beetle head of a Quintessence into the coliseum.
Roaring while yanking at the chains that held its Kangaroo body in submission the Skirmish went quiet. Rolling its eyes and neck to the side, the quint locked in on the two officers. Raaa roaring with utmost animosity the quintessence began to snap and jerk once again before unleashing a reddish orange beam from its mouth.
"And the battle has begun." Said the announcer at the crumbling and evaporation of chains followed by the Skirmish launching itself across the arena with one kick of its kangaroo feet on the earth.
Lowering himself to the ground with utter laziness, Lyr called forth a vine wall with a press of his hands the dirt. Woosh in a wave of his cape Mono teleported above the Skirmish. Pulling a hundred foot sword out of his hat the bull-headed evol slung down with all his might.
Side-stepping the attack the Skirmish launched a flaming jab at the flat of its opponent blade, repelling a second strike. Reeeik tossing its head back and screeching to the skies toosh four torch like wings burst to life.
"Where are you going?" spoke Lyr, lunging a legion of tendrils from his vine wall. Enveloping itself in an ice blue transparent flame the skirmish didn't wince. Fawoooomsshh, bounding backwards with his arms covering his face, the Arcadian jaw grit his teeth. "The flames turned to ice." Pivoting past a rocket punch the sand colored Evol body began to transmutate.
Making an u-turn with a whip of its kangaroo tail a blue ring emanated from the center of the Skirmish outwards extending out nine feet.
"Fascinating." thought Mono with a toss of his cape and a teleportation in front of his comrade. Whipping a gatling like gun out of his hat he glanced over his shoulder with a grin. Nodding his head back, Lyr hunched his lion-like body at the light up and hum of the weapon. "Raaaa!"
Reeeeik! Screeching at the hellfire of lasers heading his way the Skirmish unleashed a storm of icicles which met the lasers head on.

Tsssssh. "Hee, hee, hee, you can't catch me" hollered Sarai as she splashed through a sparkling cold stream in full sprint.
Leaping from one tortoise size stone to the next releasing pulses of electricity with each footstep Samson pinpointed Sarai. "Got ya" tossing his arm forth, manipulating the water around the Warrior Princess, The Undead smiled as the ice commenced to formulate.
Sliding to a halt Sarai waved bye to Samson before transporting out the way in a glittering trail of light. "Touch."
"Woah!" Spinning around to an onslaught of fireballs and blocking them with an earth wall Samson sunk into the earth.
Floating through the air as if on a cloud the Warrior Princess head spun around. "Where he go?"
Poom, erupting out of the ground like a human cannon ball, The Undead spread his arms out grinning at the revolving princess. "Got…" flying through an illusion psssh Samson hit the water with a hard splash.
"Ha, ha, ha, hee." Rolling through the air in giggles Sarai made multiple illusions of herself. "Catch me."
Shaking and wiping the water off his face, Samson took a deep breath inhaling the fresh smells of pine, flowers, dirt, all of the critters surrounding them but most importantly. Taking another sniff, The Undead clamped his hands with a grin. "Aah." Slipping and falling into mud the Warrior Princess began to laugh uncontrollably. "How did you know it was me?"
"I know your scent." Said Samson with a tap of his nose. Lifting his head up The Undead head turned. "You smell that."
Sniffing and wiggling her nose like a little mouse The Warrior Princess sprang up in a snap. "Time to eat."
