|Poses=:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     Oh HAPPY DAY! <br /><br />     After weeks of waiting after signing up, twitching with barely contanticipation, the day has finally arrived for the WMAT Tournament to officially start! The strongest fighters in the Multiverse, all lined up ready to get punched! <br /><br />     It is the day Beelzebumon, now an old hand at the World Martial Arts Tournament, eagerly awaits all year. <br /><br />     Already he is on the scene, standing atop one of the high plateaus of Yunzabit Heights, oblivious to the chilling wind that forever blows through this cold landscape. As he paces back and forth awaiting his opponent, he pauses to twist his head around and is rewarded with the cracking of his neck. <br /><br />     This is gonna be goooooood!<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>      Marie Mjolnir knows Stein well. <br /> <br />      That's why, even though she's somewhat of a pacifist, she managed to cajole him out into joining the WMAT Tournament, allowing him to bring her with him to work as his weapon (and his Weapon.) The Meister and Demon Hammer eventually scale a platform, before Marie waves a hand and waves it cheerfully at Beelzebumon, Stein putting out his cigarette and sliding it into his box of smokes as he reaches out to take Marie's hand, who, after her wave, immediately disappears in a burst of electricity/lightning themed yellow energy, turning into a tonfa in Stein's grip. <br /> <br /> "Heh." Stein says, giving Beelzebumon a nod. It's the closest thing he'll get from the doctor-meister as they wait for the fight to get started.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    The roar of the crowd is already overpowering as Mizuki strides to a red and gold, throne-like seat brought in by two women in maid uniforms that now stand to the left and right of it. She gets into position in front of her future resting place, accepting a hand held microphone from the girl on her right. After a few taps of the device and a clearing of her throat, she begins.<br /><br />    "Goooooooood afternoon, ladies~and~gentlemen~!" She raises her hands up toward the crowd, eliciting a shrill cry from the audience and a cacophony of clapping hands. "TODAY, we are gathered here to watch the fiery fallen angel BEELZEBUMON give his all in a stunning duel against MARIE MJOLNIR, a death dealing death scythe~! When two mythical figures collide, WHO will emerge the victor, and WHO will go home with their proverbial tail tucked between their proverbial legs~?? My dear audience members, we are about to find out~!" There is another roar of the crowd, and several large groups fly out of their seats. On one side of the stadium, Marie would hear her name being chanted. On the other, Beelzebumon! The chanting fuels the fire, creating the psychological boundaries on either side. Already, the energy of competition is forming two huge spheres on the playing field, creating an electric dividing line in the heart of the arena. Eventually, though, the chanting calms, and Mizuki begins again.<br /><br />    "ARE YOU READY... to see these two decimate this arena with their quaking hearts and cataclysmic strengths??" The crowd roars a 'Yes'! "ARE YOU READY... to see these historic names carve themselves into another golden slab of legend??" The crowd roars again! "Then hold on to your SEATS, dear viewers! Sparks will FLY! Blade and bullet will CLASH! AND NOW, contestants!" Mizuki pauses, looking down at the field with a fist on her hip. "GET READY," Pause. "GET SET!" Another pause...<br /><br />    "BEEEEGIN!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     Beelzebumon smirks a mirk as he sizes up his opponent, then reaches down to pull the shotgun strapped to his leg out of it's holster and assumes a very loose fighting stance. <br /><br />     Then the announcing begins, and a big old vein pops out of Beelzebumon's forehead as he turns, then yells up at Mizuki. <br /><br />     "HEY! I ain't no fallen angel! I'm a demon, god damnit!" <br /><br />     Stein won't have a better opportunity to get the first shot in than this.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> "Of course they forget me." Stein mutters. Marie's voice emanates from the tonfa, somehow, similiar to the way an Abstractum talks. "To be fair, I did sign us up under my name..." However, even while the pair is arguing (and they argue a lot, mind-) Stein is moving, showing a almost unbelievable burst of speed for someone who is built to be tall and somewhat big. <br /> <br /> He slides off of the platform, landing nearby Beezlebum before she aims to slide down in and under his arm, in anticipation of a potential shot from his pistol. <br /> <br /> "Demon weapon versus demon. How appropriate! Hah! Hah!" Stein laughs as he brings Marie-tonfa around in a swift motion, aiming for his gut.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    Mizuki plops down into her seat and crosses her legs, putting her hands together. When Beelzebumon shouts back up at her, she narrows her eyes slightly and brings the microphone back to her lips. "What's THIS, ladies and gentlemen? It seems the DEMON GOD Beelzebumon has taken his eyes off of his opponent? And what is the first rule of war, ladies and gentlemen??" She rockets back out of her seat, lifting her arms again. "NEVER turn your back on your opponent~!" As Mizuki finishes her statement Beelzebumon is SLAMMED in the gut by blow from Marie! The crowd emits a low, disappointed 'Oooohhh...' on one side and a loud cheer on the other. "Loooooks like a rough start for Beelzebumon, but this battle is just getting started! WILL the demon lord be able to put the demon blade and her wielder back in their place??"<br /><br />    The audience resumes their chanting, the side shouting for Beelzebumon louder than ever. "BEELZ-BU-MON! BEELZ-BU-MON!!" They pour their zeal into him in an effort to give him the burst of strength he needs to make an early comeback! Meanwhile, Marie and Stein's side is too busy clapping and shouting to do anything so cohesive as a group chant.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     Beelzebumon knows better, but damnit! Some things you just gotta speak up on, and he ain't gonna let anyone confuse him for a bloody pussy-whipped angel! That's for pansies like Lucemon. <br /><br />     After giving Mizuki a piece of his mind, Beelzebumon turns back to the fight, right in time to see Stein slip under his guard and smack him good and hard right in the gut with enough force to send the demon lord skidding back. Snapping his arm out, Beelzebumon quickly digs his claws into the earth and stops short, then stands up with a grunt. <br /><br />     "Alright. That one you got for free. From this point on, you're going to have to /earn/ it!" <br /><br />     And then with a sudden surge, the demon lord comes charging forward and leaps into the air as his leg snaps out to catch Stein in the face. But even as the first kick lashes out, Beelzebumon twists around and unleashes a follow up kick with the heel of his other foot. <br /><br />     And as a final punctuation to his opening assault, as Beelzebumon lands, he ducks down and snaps up his shotgun, unleashing a blast of fire and lead.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    The crowd goes wild! People jump up out of the stands, cheering loud! The chants for Beelzebumon cease, but the cheers only intensify! Claps resound, and voices ring high enough to bounce off of the gates of heaven themselves! Mizuki gives a nod of her head, returning a hand to her hip. "WHAAAT A COMEBACK! Did you SEE that, my friends~? A KICK, a SLAM of the heel, and a final BLAST from his gun!" Marie's side of the stadium, but even they continue to watch with interest. "Have you ever SEEN such a flourish of unmitigated FINESSE, ladies and gentlemen? Could you even contemplate the AGILITY, the DEXTERITY, and the sheer force of WILL required to execute a maneuver so profoundly elegant??"<br /><br />    Her hair does a dramatic swish as she turns to look at Marie. "Buuuuut what do Stein and his death scythe have ready to give the SHOTGUN TERROR in reply?? Will it be another diabolical slash? Perhaps a jab in the HEART? The suspense is eternal, dear viewers!!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Sometimes, you have to just go for it, and technically the match was started, so both Meister and Weapon felt they were justified in taking that hit. Marie doesn't respond to the comment, although Stein gives his sort of robotic, a bit off of a laugh even as he promptly takes a boot to the face. <br /> <br /> Then another one, although this one doesn't hurt quite as much as the first, but it still sets them up perfectly for a couple of bullets to graze the tonfa and a few to impact Stein directly, sending him staggering backwards before he digs his boots down into the ground, skidding to a stop. <br /> <br /> Stein dips his finger to the hole in his coat, before he looks up, glasses glinting. "Althight." He says, equably. "Marie?" There's no audible response, but whatever he does, he suddenly moves in for a feint - he swings Marie-the-tonfa around in a swift motion, but in reality, she shifts his weight at the last minute, attempting to bring his hand up against their opponents chest again, although this side, instead of being purely physical, things get a bit metaphysical, as a soul built on lightning and love, mixed with one of blood lust and madness both lash out at the same time against the other demon in a concussive soul blast.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    The people in the stands let out another long 'Ooohh', but this time it isn't low at all! There is excitement, there is wonder, and there is surprise! No one had seen /that/ coming! Mizuki spreads out her hands. "What WAS that, ladies and gentlemen??" She pauses a moment. "Was it MAGIC? Was it LIGHT? Or was it the pure, unrestrained power of WILL rocketing forth from the man's palm?? Whatever it was, it looked STRONG~!" The audience is in obvious agreement, their boundless cries of awe emanating from the stands in endless waves. "WHAT ELSE does Stein have hidden underneath the sleeves of his labcoat?? WHAT OTHER horrifying techniques does Marie have hidden away?? I think I speak for all of us when I demand a DEMONSTRATION~!"<br /><br />    Mizuki's words elicit yet another rise in the voices of the crowd. "BEELZEBUMON may have his work cut out for him here! Neither Stein nor Marie show any signs of going down easy! But whatever will he do next, dear viewers?? Will he throw the rusted manacles of HELL upon Stein's WRISTS?"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     The Demon Lord righst himself as he gives his shotgun a twirl, then holsters it back onto his leg before pausing to crack his knuckle... then with a grin of glee, he charges in, aiming to get close up and person. <br /><br />     The feint briefly catches him off guard, but a quick sweep of his hand swats Marie-the-Tonfo away from him as he leans into a fierce right punch, hurtling down his fist towards Stein's face even as he swings up with his palm. <br /><br />     The palm proves to be a hair faster though, as the blast of soul energy sends Beelzebumon hurtling back head over heels mere moments before his own blow could land.. and before he can get himself under control, he disappears over the edge of the plataeu. <br /><br />     Clinging to the side of the cliff face by his claws, the demon lord finds himself shaking the ringing out of his ears and looking down at the scorch on his chest, before taking a moment to think... then he grins as he pulls back his hand. <br /><br />     Many seconds pass as the demon lord doesn't come back up over the edge of the cliff... when suddenly the ground directly behind Stein erupts as Beelzebumon pops out of the earth like some hellish gopher and reaches out to grab Stein, "PEEKABOO!" <br /><br />     And then once he has a grip on Stein's shoulders, he yanks the man back off his feet and drops him directly onto a waiting knee.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    As Beelzebumon bursts from the ground, people in the crowds burst from the seats! People clap, people yell, and some people even turn around to smack /eachother's/ hands! As the fight heats up, so do the applause! The bubbles of will, excitement, and ferocity are pushing up against each other from both sides, but neither one is ready to burst! "WHAT WAS THAT, ladies and gentlemen? WAS that even LEGAL~?" Mizuki looks to the crowd, swivelling about before clicking her heels together and standing stiff. "BEELZEBUMON may not have put SHACKLES on his hands, but he may yet drag Stein and Marie to TARTARUS! We shall have to wait and see, my friends!!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Marie has a lack of true senses when she's in her Demon Hammer form, and indeed, she takes a deep breath as she focuses on Stein again, checking how he's doing as the tall man moves around in a slow but wandering circle around the ground that he can tread on considering the strangeness of the area their WMAT fight is in. <br /> <br /> Stein's back gives an audible crack, but he seems to be OK, not actually 'broken', just... in pain, because oh god, /ow/, does a backbreaker hurt. Even Marie goes "oooooh!" audibly when she hears it, giving a wince that seems to cause the tonfa to shudder across her. Stein, however, laughs again... followed by one large hand reaching up to crank the large screw that resides in his head. <br /> <br /> This done, he stands back up again, slowly turning around in one metal plated bolt, before he shifts his weight again, making a surprise move by hurling the tonfa at Beezlebumons' face, but in reality using her as a brief distraction to be able to move in under his guard again, slamming both of his hands against his chest again, this time just a pure energy soul of madness coming to play, lacking that sense of lightning.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     After landing the backbreaker, Beelzebumon quickly backs away, grinning all the while... and then Stein proceeds to screw in the bolt sticking out of his head, and Beelzebumon can't help but pause. <br /><br />     "Okay, dude. No offense, but that is creepy as fuck." <br /><br />     With a startled cry of "WOAH GEEZ!" Beelzebumon ducks the hurtling tonfu and throws up his guard as he takes the double fisted blow, but guarding can only do so much when your opponent's fists are covered in lightning and SOOOOOOOOUUUUUUL energy that scorch his arms something fierce. <br /><br />     "Ah god damnit! That's gonna sting..." Beelzebumon replies with as smoke comes off his arms, but he bites back the pain and straightens up, rubbing his nose, "Alright, warm up's over. Let's dance for real now." <br /><br />     And then witgh lightning fast reflexes, he slips a hand down and snatches up his Berenjena Shotgun once more before unleashing a blast straight at the center of Stein's chest. <br /><br />     "HEARTBREAK SHOT!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    People in the audience raise their hands above their heads to clap, and now, people start chanting Stein's name too! After a while, Marie's name gets added into the chant, making both chants overlap in a way that makes it sound almost like they're chanting in rounds. "STEIN! (MARIE!) STEIN! (MARIE!)" Whatever the case, they responded pretty well to that last, powerful slam! "My friends, I don't know about you, but I'm starting to wonder whether that man NEEDS a weapon! Marie is a GODSEND for him and it shows, but this is the SECOND time he's knocked Beelzebumon's analogical BLOCK OFF!" The people in the stands go at it, those in favor of Marie and Stein shouting while the others try to beat them out in the LOUD department!<br /><br />    But both sides quiet in unison in appreciation of Beelzebumon's HEARTBREAK SHOT! "Oh, that HAS to sting, my friends!" Mizuki herself claps her hands together for that. "I don't know if my heart is broken, but it is most CERTAINLY quivering in awe of that CATASTROPHIC hit! Let's just hope that Stein has some OTHER way of pumping blood to carry him the rest of the way!!" People in the audience stomp their feet in the stands. When Beelzebumon says that things are finally going to get real, People vault forward to watch as close as they can! Noticing this, Mizuki adds, "This fight is giving EDGE OF YOUR seat a NEW, much more LITERAL meaning!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> "Look, if you think that's creepy, just wait til he-" <br /> <br /> Stein takes the Heartbreak Shot to the chest, turning at the last second so that the shot, while it does hit him and sends him back onto his back, definitely hurt now, and visibly so (Marie is flinching), he still stands back up with that sort of half insane smile on his face, and he gives a low laugh- "Heh. Heh. Heh." As he cranks his screw again - clockwise, as always. <br /> <br /> "... does that." Marie finishes off wearily as she gets picked up. Stein seems to lack some of the energy he had at the start of the fight, but... that's not too much of a surprise. <br /> <br /> Stein flips the way he's carrying his partner (the tonfa), in his grip, before she moves in again, swinging her up as his other hand comes out in three direct blasts again, his hand crackling somewhat with electric and lightning.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    Mizuki bends forward a bit herself, eyes going a little wide. Everyone in the crowd joins her, going dead silent and staring! "For the love of CREATION," Mizuki begins, dramatic as ever, "for the love of the HEAVENS, for the love of every last molecule and fiber making up our wide, wide, MULTIVERSE!" Mizuki raises her hands and bows her head, theatrically resting her eyes. "I did not come here today expecting LIGHTNING to strike this arena, but low and BEHOOOLD, ladies and gentlemen, it would appear that is what has just happened!!" She claps her hands a few times! "Things are getting INTERESTING! I can FEEL the heat of that strike from HERE! My only question is how in the WORLD is Beelzebumon still standing?? It would appear he has the ENDURANCE to back up his CELESTIAL TITLE!"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     Welp, Beelzebumon certainly was looking for a fight. Looks like he got one. <br /><br />     Staggering back as he's struck, Beelz nearly stumbles and falls as electricity wracks his body, but he manages to dig in and stay on his feet, electricity crackling over his body and he steadies himself. Then he takes in a deep breath and shakes his entire body, "Bbrrrrraaah! Man, that'll clear your sinuses right quick, that's for sure! Looks like I found me a tough one right from the get go..." <br /><br />     The Demon Lord grins wildly as he tenses up, then suddenly launches himself skyward as he pulls the second shotgun from his back holster. <br /><br />     As he soars through the air, he inverts himself and begins to spin, laughing aloud as he unleashes blast after blast in every direction... except towards Stein. <br /><br />     Shots begin to ricochet off of cliff faces, whilding zipping around in a frenzy which could very easily lead to getting perforated with bullets if one makes even a single wrong move. <br /><br />     And then almost all at once, all those bullets ricochet together and head /straight/ for Stein.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Well, that is absolutely correct, Beelzebumon did ask for a fight, and Stein and Marie seem intent on giving him one. Although the pair can't do much when he tenses up and launches himself into the sky, both of them lacking a Grigori soul and thus the capability of making themsleves fly. Marie lets out a gasp as all the bullets start ricocheting - and then they all zoom in on Stein, who merely smiles again, and then moves - although not enough, getting peppered with a series of bullets that leave him reeling, leaning against the lay of the land for a few minutes. <br /><br /> "Stein!" Marie says, her voice thin with worry. "Stein?" She knows him, there is no way... then he cranks the screw again. "Right." He intones. <br /><br /> "Marie!" <br /> "Right, let's go!" <br /><br /> <span class=" bold_fg_y bg_n ++ hy">"SOUL</span> <span class=" bold_fg_c bg_n ++ hc">RESONANCE!"</span> The two chorus. <br /><br /> Thin ropes wrap around Stein's wrist from the tonfa, which then start seem to glow yellow and spark a little bit. Stein twists the Tonfa around properly again, before he suddenly speeds up again, swinging Marie around for a direct hit... at the head, because hey, if he falls unconcious, then he feasibly can't fight, right?<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    The eyes of the audience follow the bullets as they strike and bounce off of the walls of the arena. Parents hold their children close, ready to guard them if the bullets make it into the stands, while the more brave and zealous clap their hands together! A few curious people even stick their heads -into- the arena to get a better look! "When Beelzebumon said that he was ready to get this dance started, he WASN'T KIDDING!" Everyone claps their hands together waits with baited breath! "Just look at those BULLETS fly! But watch out - if you put your hands over the line, they might get BURNED! SPARKS - ARE - FLYING~!" And then all of the bullets converge, coming together for an especially punishing strike on the poor doctor!<br /><br />    "My GOODNESS, folks," She smirks, "if you thought he had a few screws loose before, he REALLY might now! Let's just hope those shots didn't do any permanent damage to the man's SKULL~!" But just then, Marie and Stein start talking amongst themselves. The whole crowd quiets again, determined to eavesdrop... before they say something together that -everyone- can hear! As the two decisive words echo across the field, everyone is watching, frozen in anticipation as they wait to see what will happen... Stein and Marie...<br /><br />    ... miss!<br /><br />    There is an improbably loud 'Awwwwww!' from the audience, some more roudy male voices throwing in a 'Hell no!!' here and there. "My GOODNESS, what a twist~!" Mizuki's eyes are wide. "It would appear Stein and Marie have MISSED with their SIGNATURE MOVE! What a catastrophe! What a horribly ironic quagmire!" The back of her hand is on her forehead and she's bending back in lament for dramatic emphasis "-how- will they -EVER- come back from this??"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     Gracefully, the Demon Lord lands from his aerial display, his arms crossed and the barrels of his twin shotguns smoking from the unloading of ordinance. Then with a smirk, he opens his eyes and stands up, pausing to blow the smoke from the ends of his guns before holstering one. <br /><br />     This time though, Beelzebumon is prepared for Marie and Stein as they come charging in with a sweeping swing at his head... only for him to throw himself back like an expert limboer, bhefore backflipping away. <br /><br />     And then no sooner does he land from his flip than Beelzebumon springs forward, seeking to grab Stein's head between his legs, before backflipping and using his hold on Stein to throw him across the arena. <br /><br />     That's right, Beelzebumon just hit Franken Stein with a Frankensteiner.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Whoop. And there they go. Good bye, Stein and Marie. Stein crash lands on the other side of the arena, not that this bothers him... too much... because it gets them a chance to really show up... although Marie /will/ be picking bits of rock out of his injuries with Nygus later, she almost guarantees it. <br /> <br /> "Ow." Marie vocalizes. <br /> "Marie." <br /> "Oh, right!" <br /> <br /> The tonfa distorts, before it disappears completely, and up in the air nearby Beezlebumon's head, a triquetra symbol appears - before it crashe down towards him in a destructive lash of lightning and electricity, because she /is/ Mjolnir the hammer.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    Everyone in the audience vaults together in unison! Parents uncover the eyes of the children just in time for them to see Beelzebumon LEAP over The Mad Doctor, nailing him with a FRAKENSTEINER! "Is there any acrobatic feat this man can NOT accomplish, my friends??" She lays her palms out flat, gesturing to demon lord. "The GRACE! The STYLE! The crippling PAIN! Just when you thought Stein might have had him, he makes one of the most incredible comebacks this Multiverse has ever seen!!" She puts her hands together and claps, causing the entire audience to do the same.<br /><br />    "Bravo, bravo! You have EARNED it, God of Demons! But Stein and Marie aren't done yet, and they most certainly won't let Beelzebumon slide without another dose of BONE BREAKING in return~!"<br /><br />    And then, Stein gets up, grasping Marie. The audience's eyes train on him again, and just moments after the mystical symbol appears on the ground, lightning goes flying! But when the dust has cleared... Beelzebumon is nowhere to be found! Mizuki gasps, holding her mouth to convey her shock! "Can it BE? Did Beelzebumon dodge Stein's attack AGAIN?" She lays her hands out in a shrug. "It would appear that the DEMON GOD has received a SECOND WIND!! His momentum and grit? Astonishing, ladies and gentlemen! But where did he go? And what will he do next??"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     The mighty blow comes swinging down, full of lightning and thunder, but Marie hits nothing but the earth beneath her as Beelzebumon launches himself backwards in a series of backflips, before vaulting himself up onto a heigher plateau. <br /><br />     "There we go, /now/ I'm starting to hit my groove. Sometimes it just takes a bit to find a good rhythm." <br /><br />     Then with a grin, he launches himself off the egde of his vantage point and comes hurtling towards Stein horizontally, his elbow poised to land.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Marie and Stein miss... twice in a row. <br /> <br /> And Stein gets elbow dropped. Ooooh. That one hurt, considering how much he's been tanking with his upper half today. But you know what? That brings him into much closer physical contact... <br /> <br /> And Stein slams upwards with his hands again in that same motion as before, bringing his and Marie's wavelength to bear to throw the Demon off of them.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     The one problem with high flying moves like that is that the recovery time is always a little on the slow side, especially this late into a fight where the rigors of combat start to make themselves known. <br /><br />     Such as this case, where Beelzebumon is just getting up on one knee when he gets blasted off of Stein and is sent crashing down several feet away. After a moment to clear the spots from his eyes after that blow, the demon lord rolls to his feet and stands up with noticable effort, then digs in his boots and tenses up like a wild animal ready to pounce... <br /><br />     And then with a sudden surge of speed and fury, he charges and swings his arm out straight, aiming to clothesline Stein as he rises from the earth.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    Beelzebumon lands another, strong hit... with his elbow! The crowd barely has time to recover and clap before Stein nails Beelze with Marie's TWIN SPEARS! People on both sides of the stadium are going wild, and the the friction between the opposing sides might just have reached a fever pitch! "One SMACK," Mizuki throws out a hand, "and one STAB! These competitors are relenetless, my friends! It just goes to show, sometimes a nice, conventional swing of a scythe works better than flamboyant lightning strikes, and sometimes an elbow to the face can be just as biting as a bullet!" The crowd's roars rise and fall, but the cheering is constant! "But they're both STILL STANDING! Just how much can these warriors take?? Something tells me we'll find out before too long!!"<br /><br />    Mizuki looks to Beelzebumon expectantly... before he leaps up! "... but not just yet! Beelzebumon isn't about to let the bell ring before he jumps up! But what does he have in store for the gooood doctor~?" She pauses, narrowing her eyes... when he throws a clothesline punch! When it makes contact, the audience "Oooh!"s again, watching Stein stagger back. "There is no END to his strength, my friends! No matter how long the fight goes on, he never stops! But they're still neck and neck! Toe-to-toe! Who will win? Who will lose?? Or will this be one of the WMAT's very first TIES??"<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> A tie? Not on Stein's watch. He gets clotheslined, staggering back slightly and landing on his rear end with a harsh 'oofh' of breath. Stein is definitely hurting and staggering a bit as he hauls his lanky body back up, and Marie makes a extraordinarily quiet worried noise from her tonfa shape. <br /> <br /> "Marie." Stein says with a gasp. "That one thing..." <br /> <br /> "But--" <br /> "Now!" <br /> <br /> The little ropes wrap round his wrist again, and the triquetera symbol reappears in the air, but this time there is no immediate direct shot - instead, Stein suddenly bolts across the field at Beezlebumon, as there's a cracking noise and suddenly the bolt emanates, launching down at him - and no matter where it hits, causing a minor explosion.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:132|Beelzebumon (132)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>     BOOOOOOOOOM! <br /><br />     And Beelzebumon is sent flying all the way across the arena, before impacting a cliffside clear on the other side, where he leaves a Beelzebumon-shaped indent in the stop... before slooooowly sliding off the rock face and hitting the ground with a dull thud. <br /><br />     "... Fuck."<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:183|Mizuki (183)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span>    The entire crowd stops, and even the normally haughty Mizuki is struck dumb. She lets the arm holding the microphone hang limp a second as the cheers of the crowd give way to an almost eerie silence. Mizuki holds the microphone to her mouth... but words fail to escape from it. For now, all of the eyes in the entire stadium are on Beelzebumon... and they watch for a good, long time. Though much to the chagrin of his side of the field... Beelzebumon doesn't rise again. A wind of finality blows across the stadium, and without a word, Mizuki leads the crowd in a final clap. The other members of the audience, even those that had cheered for Beelzebumon, begin to clap slowly. As it picks up, some people slowly add whistles, and screams of delight. And then some people start tossing their hats and shirts into the air! H-Hokay, that might be a little much guys!<br /><br />    "BRRRRAAAVVVVVOOOOOOOO!!!" It's quite possible that Mizuki has never risen her voice to be so loud, no held a word for that long ever before in her life. "I think I speak for all of us when I say, to Stein and to Beelzebumon alike, JOB. WELL. DONE!" The whistles are renewed! The exuberance is boundless! Some people even jump out of the stands and rush for Stein and Marie... only to be stopped by security! It looks like they have more fans than they might have thought, huh? "That fight was most certainly one for the ages! There was lightning! There were blades! There were bullets! Oh, the magnificence has overwhelmed even /me/, dear viewers!" She begins to clap again. "Truly, congratulations, both of you! And congratluations Stein, in SECURING YOUR PLACE IN THE NEXT ROUND~!" Over all the other voices, the voice of a single man screaming "YEEAAAHHH!!" somewhat comedically can be heard. And are some people out there... crying? Yeah, okay guys.<br /><br />    "Thank you, competitors, for the incredible show! And thank you, members of the audience, for making this all possible! In this battle of mythological marvels, ONE has emerged victorious, but we ALL have won! This is your commentator, Mizuki, signing off!" She gives the audience a parting curtsey, crossing one leg over the other and coming low to the ground. Then, quietly, she walks down the stairs, followed by the maids she had come in with.<br> <br>

:'''{{#var:315|Marie Mjolnir (315)}} has posed:'''<br><span></span> Marie finally reappears again, golden hair a bit rumpled. "That was interesting. C'mon." She drags Stein across the field, and after a few minutes, they show up next to Beezlebumon. "That was great. Thank you for giving us a wonderful fight!" Stein grunts something that sounds like 'thanks'. <br /> <br /> "Now lets get you both to the healers, and no you can't experiment on yourself Stein."<br> <br>
