Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The sun shines brightly upon the Diablo Desert, brightly lighting up the battle arena. Mokuba stands on his side of the arena, waiting for the fight to start. He has been here for a long time. Far too long, really. He is, simply, excited to partake in this fight. He has made it into the tournament proper, going above what many thought he could possibly do. He smirks, looking around the audience, smiling as it slowly gathers in the shaded stands.

     This short young boy with long black hair is looking for one person. And, a smirk is on his face as he finally spots him. Sitting in a private stand, set to the side from the public? Seto Kaiba, Mokuba's older brother.

     Mokuba's excitement grows. He will /not/ lose in front of his big brother! He shuffles his deck, slotting it into the Duel Disk on his left arm. His cards are drawn. His strategy is planned. And, he knows /exactly/ what he is going to be doing to win this fight.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
"Aaaaa..... how is someplace with so much sand so hot?" Hunched over slightly, with 'hair' hanging limply, a girl about Mokuba's age, perhaps a bit older, trudges out into the arena. "I thought this was like a beach! Beaches are supposed to have water!"

Once she's finally in her place, Ika Musume looks up and squints, lifting a hand to shade her eyes. "Are you the one I'm supposed to fight? Don't think I'll hold back just because you're a kid!" She stands up straight, hands on her hips, and puffs her chest out! ...then slumps again. "But why'd it have to be so inkredibly hot? Muuu...."

Shigure has posed:
    Kuma and four other girls sit in the commentators booth. Tall, Raven-haired Yamashiro being the latest addition, stands behind Shigure, who is seated next to Nowaki. Chitose comes back from getting drinks, while Kuma announces the bout beginning on the radio, before swapping requency.

    Chitose opens up, after giving everyone their drinks. "Mokuba has his cards again... I wonder what kind of monsters he'll summon this time." she muses.

    Shigure mmns softly. "His opponent does not look like much, but we have all seen how dangerous that mentality can be. We should expect a good fight."

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba draws a set of five cards, setting them in his left hand. The duel disk is set on his left arm, and he is /far/ more than ready to begin. He points forward towards Ika Musume, laughing loudly. "AAHHAHAHAHA! You call /me/ a kid? I'm Mokuba Kaiba, vice president of Kaiba Corp! /You're/ the kid! Seriously. What is a little brat like /you/ doing here?!"

     He slams a card down on the Duel Disk, face up. Suddenly, a large, human-sized rat apppears. It is covered in a vast amount of blue fur, and has horrible hideous look all over him.

     "GIANT RAT! ATTACK!"

     And, the rat rushes forwards towards Ika, leaping to try and bite at the blue-haired squid girl before it.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
Taking a breath, Ika Musume reaches up an arm to wipe her forehead, even though there's no visible sweat there. "What I wouldn't give to fight in an ocean or something... that would be a lot more fun."

But then her opponent laughs at her, and she begins to fume, steam rising from her head... or maybe she's just beginning to bake in the hot sun. "I don't even know what a Corp is, so nyeh!" She pokes her tongue out. "And don't call me a brat, you brat!" There, that'll show him!

But then a giant blue rat thing appears out of nowhere, and the squid girl just stares. "What in all the ocean is tha---aaaaaa stoppitstoppitstoppit!" Tentacles begin to flail as the rat bites down on one of them, and Ika Musume begins to run in circles. "Getitoffgetitoff!" More flailing, and she finally thinks to flail the one actually being bitten, trying to whip the rat off and back toward where it came from!

Shigure has posed:
    Kuma hmms. "Opening with the rats again, kuma! I guess it worked for him before." Shigure winces a little, remembering her defeat, but remains silent. Nowaki adds. "He may be using a similar opening set, but his overall strategy could be entirely different... that match was televized, so his strategy would be compromized."

    Yamashiro finally speaks. "Ika Musume does not appear to be doing well in the desert sun... and that rat manages to get a mouthful.... though she is definitely much smarter than she appears, as she flings Mokuba's monster back at him."

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba could have, in fact, made an ocean based deck. But, he's thankful he didn't. Especially due to all of the ocean comments. Mokuba smiles, even as the Rat is tossed aside. And then his face turns into a frown as the rat strikes into him. Mokuba stumbles back, crashing down on his rear in the desert sand. The rat vanishes into sparkles, destroyed.

     "HAH! That hurt, but when you kill my giant rat? It lets me summon another from my deck! And so I summon... A SECOND GIANT RAT! Also, seriously, learn to deal with the heat! If you can't deal with the sun, just give up now!"

     Another rat appears on the battlefield, hissing and gnashing its teeth. At least, Mokuba has a good strategy. Kind of. Flood the field with monsters via card effects.

     "And, to join my rat... I summon.... KROKODILLUS! Now, both of you! ATTACK!"

     The Krokodillus appears. It looks like a bipedal crocodile, with humanoi features for its body. It starts to run forward, while the rat does the same. Attack, with no defense. That is the Mokuba way of things! Both of the creatures do another similar attack, once again. IE, they both try to bite at Ika's arms, trying to get a taste of calamari.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
"Oh no! What have I done?" Ika Musume seems genuinely worried over the fact that destroying that rat seems to have been part of her opponent's plan all along!

But then she blinks in confusion. "...say that again?" Even as another rat appears, she scratches the side of her head. "I don't get it." Arms crossing, she begins to pace a few steps back and forth. "This is weird. Weirder than fighting a tiny cute flying thing." But then another monster appears, and the squid girl takes a step back. "...geh! What is this?!" Both rat and crocodile come charging at her, and two tentacles are snared! A quick wrap of the appendages keeps them from getting teeth sunk into them, but Ika Musume finds herself being yanked from two directions now. "Ow ow ow ow! Hey, I am not for man o'war!" The sounds of tentacles stretching is audible, until she finally digs in her heels and ducks her head slightly. "I said...."

Tentacles suddenly whip inwards, trying to slam the rat and crocodile together over her head. "CUT IT OUT!"

Shigure has posed:
    Shigure mmns. "This is different, large reptile instead of the plants. They don't seem to be very effective, however." Yamashiro gently squeezes Shigure's shoulders. "This may be part of a strategy, though he is currently on the back foot."

    Chitose hmms. "They seem to be playing tug of war with those... hair, arm, things... Oop... I don't care if they /are/ fake... That had to hurt."

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The two creatures slam above the head of the squid-girl, hitting into eachother. There is a roar of pain from both of them, and soon both vanish. A flash of light happens right near Mokuba. And, yet again, a Giant Rat appears. The third, and final, Giant Rat.

     "Hahaha! Again, right into my plan! Seriously, though! It's not that weird! I'm just kicking your ass in one of the most /perfect/ ways possible! Through means of a /collectible card game!/"

     This is a level of nerd beyond what most people in the Multiverse are experienced with. But, Mokuba soon draws his next card, smiling.

     "And... I am going to summon something to /defend/ me! SO! Watch out! I SUMMON IN ATTACK MODE, THE BOTANICAL LION!"

     He places the card down. This animal is a bit... stranger. A large lion made of wood, with a rose for a mane. He stands in front of Mokuba. Though in Attack Mode, he is staying on guard and not assaulting.

     Instead, the giant rat moves to attack forward. Again. At least this time, it's moving to /tackle/, as opposed to bite.

     "--And no I am not just a one trick pony!"

     In the audience, the elder Kaiba brother is just sighing, watching with embarrasment. This is /not/ going to go well.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
Both of the creatures disappear again, and Ika Musume glances up to where they were, blinking in surprise. "I still don't get it." A pause. A blink. "Oh. Ohhhhhhh! You're playing a game! I know about games!" She looks confused for a moment. "Where's the controller, though?"

All these strange terms like attack mode and summon and such go right over her head. But there's another rat coming in, and she's already prepared to pull her tentacles out of the way before they can be bitten! Which.... they're not, because the rat just lands on her. "Mmmph!" The squid girl flails her arms a bit from beneath the rat, tentacles writhing, before they finally wrap around the rat to lift it off her. "Fwa! This thing smells!"

Her tentacle winds up as if to throw the rat, then she pauses. She peers up at the rat, then over to the lion. "Squidn't you rather use something besides this? It's all ugly and smelly." A finger points up to the rat. Rather than trying to throw it, though, she just tries to hold onto it, keeping it far away from herself, and sends two more tentacles out to whip at the lion made of plants. "Is this even a real animal? It's all flowery!"

Shigure has posed:
    "Ah, there is the lion." mentions Shigure. "He seems to be fixated in a single line of action... I do not see how this can end well for him at this time... though his rat does seem to make a solid impact this time."

    Kuma chuckles. "It was a solid impact, but now Ika Musume has a hostage, kuma! And she seems to be wising up, kuma~! A pair of tentacles snap out at Mokuba's flower lion... thing, kuma!"

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The tentacles fling out, whipping straight at the lion. Mokuba lets out a swear that he is far too young to know. The flinging towards the lion causes it to break apart, bursting into pieces. Mokuba reaches for his deck, drawing another card.

     "Okay, first off! This is a game that my big brother is better at. Second, it's a /card game/. See?!" He points ot the cards. "And third... Damnit! You screwed up my deck thinning!"

     A pause. He glances at the cards currently in his hand.

     "...AND I FIND THAT UN-BEAR-ABLE! I SUMMON MOTHER GRIZZLY! ATTACK!"

     A card is slapped down. This time, a large blue Grizzly bear appears. It starts lumbering forward, definitely /far/ larger than both of these two children. And, it actually goes in with a bit more strategy, as well. It rushes in, aiming towards the tentacles that are squeezing down upon the rat. Its claws reach forward to scratch, while its mouth opens up to try and bite.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
"Fwa ha ha! Behold my master strategy! Now you'll never be able to bring out more of these smelly rats!"

So indead he brings out a bear, though Ika Musume tilts her head slightly at the pun. "....I don't get it." But while she's confused, that bear is charging! And it's huge! "Wh.. hey! No squidding fair!" She holds the rat up high, away from the incoming bear monster, and tries to fend it off with a tentacle. The appendage gets scratched up, and the end is caught in those teeth, but she keeps hold of the rat! "I've already ruined your strategy! Don't think I'll let something like this stop me!" Two more tentacles flail about, wrapping around the bear. And despite the difference in size, the squid girl tries to lift up Mother Grizzly and fling it high up into the air!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The tentacle lands on the grizzly this time, but it maanges to avoid being tossed in the air. It is still squeezed down upon, causing it light damage. But, it avoids the grip by moving back. And Mokuba actually swears under his breath again.

     "Oh, the /one/ time you miss!"

     He draws yet another card, placing down another one. At least, he has /a/ strategy now. Tentacle vs. Tentacle....

     "I SUMMON DARKWORLD THORNS!"

     A large blue plant appears, with a strange round mouth filled with teeth. From this orb-shaped base, a large number of blue thorny tentacles come out. They fly forward, trying to hit at Ika's own tentacles. At the same time, the Mother Grizzly moves forward, trying to bite at the tentacles /more/. And Mokuba shouts out, angrily.

     "GIVE ME BACK THE RAT AT LEAST!"

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
Ika Musume has more than just three tentacles! She has ten, which leaves plenty to deal with the vines! Several more whip out to grapple with the plant's vines, striking one against the other in midair! Of course, the plant has thorns, which the squid girl lacks, and she winces a bit as she feels them digging into her tentacles. "Ha ha! Now that I know your strategy, there's nothing you can do to stop me!"

When the bear tries to charge forward again, Ika Musume leans in, shoving it back with her tentacles. "But this is getting so annoying! Gah!" She stomps her foot and flails her tentacles, trying to slam both rat and bear back into the plant creature's mouth!

Then she remembers she wasn't supposed to destroy them. "...oops."

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     All three monsters are destroyed at once. Mokuba frowns a bit, but then turns it nito a grin. A glance is given towards his Duel Disk, and his life points. The numbers don't work /quite/ as well in the Multiverse, between cards and actual attacks. But, there is one thing he knows: The moment the Duel Disk runs out of Life Points, it declares him the 'loser'. And he can't attack anymore.

     But, with all three of the monsters destroyed? He can at least summon two new monsters, using the effects of the rat and the grizzly.

     Specifically, another Grizzly. And, another Darkworld Thorns. But, the Darkworld Thorns, that strange plant monster, won't last much longer.

     "ALRIGHT! Fine! You know my strategy? I'll shift it! I'll go from a straightforward attack while keeping the field full... to A GIANT DINOSAUR! Go, FROSTOSAURUS!"

     The next creature is... bizarre. A gigantic brachiosaurus, except made of solid ice. It starts crawling and lumbering forward in the harsh desert heat, seemingly not minding the sun. Its mouth opens, and there is a sudden blast of ice flying forward from this dinosaur's mouth.

     ...Well, at least it's a /bit/ different finally.

     The grizzlybear stays back, guarding Mokuba.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
"Oh jeez, I messed up! Now you're just going to bring out another smelly rat!" Except he doesn't, and Ika Musume points at the plant. "Ha! That's not a rat at all!" She has absolutely no idea if this is a good thing or a bad thing, though. "Did I get all the rats? Does that mean I level up? You always level up in videogames from beating enough rats!" Because that's how it always works, isn't it?

But then she looks up... and up... and up at the giant dinosaur. "Th...that's not a step up from a rat! Isn't the difficulty ramped too high?" She takes a step back and... is suddenly frozen in a block of ice.

For a moment, there's no movement save for the blinking of her eyes, but Ika Musume sets her jaw and flexes her tentacles... and eventually shatters the ice around her, sending bits flying every which way! "Ahhhh~! That hit the spot, too! It's been so hot here..." Arms spread to the side, and six tentacles whip forward, extending to be long enough to wrap several times around the dinosaur's body. "So I'll let you try it out, too!" Despite her small size, she seems to have no trouble lifting something that enormous, though her feet do sink slightly into the sand. Whether she can hold onto it or not is another question... but she tries to throw the enormous dinosaur toward the general area where Mokuba and all his monsters are!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba is now regretting signing up for the tournament, slightly. It's one of many things he is considering while the dinosaur flies at him. Where did he go wrong? What could he have done differently? How is a squid girl so strong?

     But, the dinosaur impacts. First the Grizzly Bear, which is immediately replaced by another. And then, Mokuba. He goes sliding across the desert sand, prone on the ground as he looks towards his enemy.

     Still, his cards are safe. He can /try/ to turn this around. A card is drawn. And, yet another frown. He wants to play it, but that'll send the Grizzly to the graveyard without summoning a replacement.

     "I TRIBUTE MY MOTHER GRIZZLY TO SUMMON EMPEROR OF THE LAND AND SEA!"

     And so ends his chain of summons. The Grizzly vanishes. In its place, yet another dinosaur. This one is almost certainly based on a T-rex, but with blue skin. It runs forward, tail flinging back and forth. And in fact, it turns its body so that its tail might attack.

     "ALSO YOU DON'T LEVEL UP IN CARD GAMES!"

     Meanwhile, in the audience? Seto Kaiba, Mokuba's older brother? He is standing up. And leaving.

     He has decided that his brother has already lost.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
Never underestimate the lifting and throwing power of the mighty squid!

"E..emperor of the sea?!" Another dinosaur appears, and Ika Musume lifts a finger, opens her mouth... and pauses. She opens her mouth again... and once more pauses. Finally, after some thought, she remarks, "That's a land animal, not a sea animal. I don't get it! And how did it come from a bear?" This game is so confusing! As she's puzzling over what this could all mean, she doesn't see the tail until too late, and it sends her tumbling end over end through the sand!

When the squid girl pushes back up, she spits out a mouthful of sand. "Pwa!" Oddly enough, what she spits is both sandy and black. "I liked the ice one better! It was a lot cooler!"

She crosses her arms in thought. "Are you sure? Because I swear I just leveled up! Here, let me try something!" Several tentacles spread out, then slam against the ground, propelling Ika Musume high up into the air! She flips once, twice, then begins to slowly float downward, until she lands on the back of the so-called Emperor. "If I'm a higher level, I should be able to control this, right?" Don't ask where her logic comes from. She may be making this up as she goes. Regardless, she whips a few tentacles out to act like a bridle, trying to yank the dinosaur's head in the direction she wants to make it start rampaging!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     As the tentacles wrap around hte dinosaur, it causes it some pain. Thankfully, it is a bit more resilient than the previous one. It helps this is meant to control it. The rampaging dinosaur runs around the arena, trying to buck off Ika. And Mokuba runs away from it, trying to hide.

     Another card is pulled. He frowns. All of his /good/ cards have either been used, or not drawn. Nothing quite useful. For now, a simple strategy. He plays another card, a small bipedal dinosaur appearing. It looks more human in proportion, even having a pair of large fists.

     "GO, GIGOBYTE! ATTACK HER!"

     It runs forward, trying to leap onto the back of the larger dinosaur. It moves in, trying to punch Ika in the back of the head.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
This is like some sort of weird rodeo! Ika Musume holds tightly onto the rampaging dinosaur with her tentacles while waving one hand in the air. It's sort of cheating, since she's holding on so tightly without using her hand -anyway-... but she doesn't have a hat to wave, so that makes up for it. Sort of.

"This is fun! Squidn't you like to come join me and do the rest of the fight here?"

But then a smaller dinosaur seems to take her up on the offer. "See? The view is great, isn't i--!"

There's a dustcloud up on the back of the dinosaur, and the tentacles go from grabbing tightly around its head to flailing. "Wa--!" After the sound of several more impacts, Ika Musume is sent flying out of the dustcloud, crashing into the ground face-first. "...mmphrl."

Slowly, the squid girl pushes herself to her feet, tentacles rising up all around her. Instead of going for the smaller monster that attacked her, though, she darts out a few tentacles toward the Emperor's legs, trying to wrap around them and yank to trip the great beast!

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The Emperor of Land and Sea is tripped. It roars out in pain, crashing into the ground. Mokuba glances down, looking at the lifepoints on his counter? He is almost done for. He bite his lip, frowning. There is one thing he /could/ possibly do, but... It won't likely be enough.

     But damnit, he's trying it anyways.

     "Alright... Fine! Last shot... I tribute the Gigobyte, to summon... FAIRY KING TRUESDALE!"

     The tiny dinosaur vanishes from the battlefield. In its place, a tall elven looking man appears. He is clad in green armor, weilds a staff, and has a huge pair of fairy wings growing from his back. He holds his staff forward, towards Ika Musume. He stays within the air, a great power gathering. A massive beam of light flies from his staff, aimed straight at Ika.

     "OBLITERATE HEEEER!"

     It is a desperate plea from Mokuba.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
Tentacles withdraw once the great dinosaur trips, and Ika Musume lifts both arms in triumph. "Fwa ha ha! I think I'm starting to get the hang of this game!" No, she's not. She's totally not. But as the smaller monster disappears, she turns to look at Mokuba. "There's a big one coming out now, right? --ha! I knew it!" Hands rest on her hips, and she puffs up, proud of herself.

Then she hears the command. "Obliter--w...wait, you should ink about this a bit more! Yaaaa!" Feet dig into sand and the squid girl stumbles, hands flailing against the ground as she tries to get away from the beam! It strikes the ground just where she was, and though it missed its mark, the explosion of impact, still sends her flying through the air! "W...waaaaa!"

Arms, leg, and tentacles all flail as Ika Musume arcs upward... then begins to descend. Down, down, down... right toward Mokuba.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     There are several life choices that have lead to this moment. Mokuba thinks back, to an arguement he had with his brother. Kaiba had said, the whole time, that there was no way that Mokuba could win. Mokuba kept denying him. Still, at least, one thing is certain: Kaiba thought Mokuba couldn't get through the preliminaries.

     But, the victory doesn't seem to mean much to him. The squid lands on him. A small crater is pushed into the ground, Mokuba sinking into the sand. He lays there, completely unconcious. Eyes in a daze.

     Seto Kaiba, meanwhile, is flying off to the distance on his Blue-Eyes White Dragon Jet. Mokuba can make his own way home, once the medics patch him up. It's Mokuba's own fault for being a failure.

     And there Mokuba lays, unconcious. Compeltely defeated.

Ika Musume (840) has posed:
"Nnnnfff.. What happened?" Ika Musume is a bit dizzy as well, enough that it takes her a few moments to realize she's landed on top of her opponent. "...oh!"

The squid quickly hops up to her feet, and tentacles whip out, snatching any cards that may have been knocked from Mokuba's hand or duel disc. It helps to have so many appendages, as she quickly brushes the sand off from them before offering her actual hand down to her opponent...if he's consious enough to take it. "I still don't get this game, but I think this means I won?"
