Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
Some generic multiverse sports analysist is droning on, until he's abruptly shoved away by ... a pony? "Dude, just... just... shut it. You're way too boring to be doing this." She hmphs, and sits down in his seat. "Yo, fighting fans, listen up. This chump can't be the least bit interesting, so instead I, Bramble Patch, am gonna handle this shtick before you all get talked to death. Which ain't gonna cut it because we're gonna have GIANT DINOSAURS VS BATTLE GIRLS as King of the Tyrannos GHENGIS REX dukes it out with TOMOE THE IRON LILY. So either get your flanks down here to watch the throwdown, or if yer too lazy to get off yer couch at least tune into this frequency (900.3) to listen to me tell you how much awesome you're missing!"

Of course here all you have to do is say 'fight' and the crowd goes up in roars of anticipation.

Genghis Rex (114) has posed:
As "The Devil's Dance" begins to play (http://youtu.be/aKQTWq6ZbTc), a dark shadow falls over the arena. Looking up, all that can be seen is a massive form blotting out the sun, the only light that can be seen is the powerful blue boosters jetting from the "feet" of this massive battle station. Did I say feet? I did!

As the shadow ebbs and the war machine settles to the ground, the spectators are beholden to a 30 story robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's armor plating painted a bright crimson. The machine opens its jaws and emits an ear splitting roar!

A hatch, just under it's jaw retracts, and an organic red-skinned T-rex descends on a beam of yellow light, setting down on the ground and glancing around smugly. As he turns his head to the crowd, the machine moves in sync with him. He bellows a powerful roar, but it is drowned out by the echoing roar of the battlestation.

"I AM GENGHIS REX!" The Tyrannosaurus roars, the monstrous battle station amplifies his deep growling voice, "TREMBLE IN FEAR, YOU MISERABLE MAMMALS!"

With that, the Tyranno commander dinovolves back to his primary form, that of a mere 12 foot anthropomorphic T-rex, clad in light armor and draped in a black trench coat. He waves a claw and the giant metal T-rex ascends into the air and begins hovering over the battle arena - his loyal Tyranno crew watching from far above.

Rex smiles a toothy grin at Tamoe, a cruel glint in his green eyes.

"WAIT!" a voice quacks out from behind him.

Rex turns his head annoyedly and sees his communications officer, draped in a white lab coat, rushing to his side.

"Quackpot, what is the meaning of this?!" Rex snarls.

Quackpot waves his arms around, "Well, you see, Bossasaur, I'm sponsoring the WMAT this year and I really need to endorse you for the match, QUACK, heh!?"

Rex growls, "Get away from me, I want no part of your silly endorsement."

Quackpot runs in front of Rex and falls on his knees, "Oh please! Oh please! Oh please! Just wear this T-shirt for the fight! You're the only Tyranno whose participating this year and it's gonna look really bad if you don't help me out! QUACK!"

Rex leans over Quackpot and glares hatefully, then straightens up and pulls off his coat, folding it nicely, then handing it to Quackpot. He holds out a claw for the t-shirt. Quackpot gingerly hands the t-shirt to his King, quacks loudly, then runs out of the arena.

Rex unfolds the shirt and grinds his teeth upon reading it. He huffs, "The things I do to make my loyal moronodons happy."

Rex pulls the shirt on, displaying a caricature of Quackpot in his doctor getup, with the Phase "Doctor Quackpot's Youthenizer! Get Youthenized today for only $24.99"

Rex glances over Tamoe, "I guess I'll just have to take my dissatisfaction regarding this humiliating scenario out on YOU."

Tony Stark (301) has posed:
"Whew, just in time," Tony Stark states happily as he ushers his father-and-daughter guests on into the reserved seats. He whistles over an attendant to take some snack orders, because screw three meals a day, this is the WMAT, he just grazes all day. He orders one of the local fruit drinks for himself and adds, "And whatever my guests would like too--"

Just in time indeed, as Rex's entrance music hits and a giant robot dinosaur descends from the sky. Stark snorts and mutters, "Compensating?" as if he never commits the sin of grand entrances himself. But he doesn't /like/ Rex and that's the main thing. The billionaire grins broadly as Quackpot ruins the effect, though. This is already off to a wonderful start as far as he's concerned.

Tomoe has posed:
So here Tomoe was again this year in the World Martial Arts Tournament, the Salamander took a deep breath and looked out at what was to be her arena this time. This year it was not Staren that she was facing. No she was facing something perhaps far more serious than she normally might. She had her Naginatta Moon Cutter on her back as she entered.

She looked out over the Diablo Desert she looked around for her foe wondering just what this guy looked like in in person. She'd seen reports in her time with the union, well she gets her answer now as they enter her field of view. She narrows her purple eyes a bit to get a look and also makes sure FRAPs is on.

Tomoe looks to the alien dinosaur for a moment and smiles oddly at him as he makes his comment.

"...You know I'm actually almost sympathetic to you for having to deal with them on a daily basis. However if you want to take it out on me? I'm going to have to protest I think."

The Six foot Salamander looks up at her huge opponent and then grins.

"You need to replace a bit hum least your actually a challenge for me. Haven't found jack in ALO lately myself."

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
"And here come our contenders now... Damn, that Rex knows how to make an entrance. Maybe a little too loud.. and a little too sold out. Youthenizer? Lemme tell you people, I'm an alchemist, there is n -- oh here comes his opponent as well. Not nearly as specatular, but it looks like she's at least gonna give Big Rex somethin' to deal with." There's a high pitched chittering next to her. "Nah, I got this covered Cupule. Go get me some popcorn." Squeak squeak. "Yeah, fine, and a bag of peanuts for yourself." She hffs as he scurries off. "Squirrels." Pause. Then shouts after him. "AND DONT GET IN ANYONE'S PANTS THIS TIME!"

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
Tony's quests have become usual figures at the WMAT, though one of them have been a bit more procative as a fighter and commentator. Toph Beifong heads over to the seat and claims the middle one, flopping down happily. Her father Lao can't help but wonder /how/ many reserved seats the Union Major has. "Ah, some jasmine tea..." he idly says and gets seated, all while Toph perks up. "Mango flavoured iced tea! And some chips."
Rex's arrival does make the blind girl frown and reach up to shield her ears a bit though, and Lao just goes pale as he stares. What is it with these horrible reptiles in this tournament?! The t-shirt display is... something else. And Toph blinks, tugging on Tony's sleeve. "What's going on?" she asks in a hushed whisper.
Tomoe however earns a loud cheer from the earthbender.

Tony Stark (301) has posed:
Keeping his eyes on the spectacle before them because he doesn't want to miss a /second/ of it, Tony leans over to explain for Toph. "A dinosaur in a lab coat just made Rex put on a really stupid t-shirt advertising that melon gun thing I keep hearing about around the tournament. Wonder how much he had to pay for that sponsorship..." he sits up straight again, and adds his voice to the chorus of cheers for Tomoe. "Make him wish he was Youthenized!" he catcalls.

Genghis Rex (114) has posed:
Rex cocks his head at Tomoe, narrowing his eyes, "The day I require sympathy from a mammal is the day I turn in my scales! You're looking for a challenge are you? We'll you've come to the wrong place. I'll dispose of you like a sand tick!"

Rex winds up his tail and makes a wild half hearted swing at his much smaller opponent.

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
"Oh." Toph blinks and then nods in understanding. "I... heard about that." Seriously, what were they thinking? Of course she can't help but snicker at Tony's call to Tomoe, making Lao look down at her with a disapproving look on his face, then at Tony. Though that is quickly less worthy of his attention than when the dinosaur creature assaults his opponent.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe hears all the calls from the stands, she was a bit surprised to hear the number of people she knew, that she did. Okay it was time to put on a show as best she was able. She heard. Tony, Toph and she thinks some others but she's caught off guard a little bit as the sail swing comes fort she's able to take the hit pretty well.

"Heh Tyrant King indeed, though with a name like yours why don't you do mounted combat?"

Tomoe's weapon is now ready and in hand, it's clear she knows how to use it as she launches into several quick swipes with the weapon across the burning sands!

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
Bramble Patch leans forward a little to watch as the fight starts. "And Rex starts things off by basically telling his foe off and giving her the equivilent of a bitchslap with his tail. I bet that means something nasty in Reptilian. Just think, for equines raising our tail as we walk away from you is like one of you biped flippin' the b-- and Tomoe ain't takin' none of that sass, retorting with some fancy sword work. But is she gonna be able to cut through the tyrant's thick hide?" Pause. "Or his thick ego, for that matter."

Genghis Rex (114) has posed:
Rex absorbs the swipes expertly with his armor and flips over Tomoe, quite light on his feet for such a large being. "Mounted Combat?!? Only mammals and cowards ride beasts of burden into battle! You want to fight someone, you do it face to face, and eye to eye!"

He draws his scimitar and parry's Tomoe's final blow, then presses his attack, slashing at her with powerful, bone rattling strokes.

Tony Stark (301) has posed:
Tony's head twitches back in surprise as Rex displays uncanny agility for his size. And laughs. "Okay, that was pretty impressive. Who knew Twinkletoes had those moves?" Of course he doesn't know (or has forgotten) that Toph has already assigned that nickname to someone else. "Too bad for him Tomoe's faster," he adds, quite pleased with the way this is going so far.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe is fast on her feet, and that's what saved her.

"Genghis is the name of one of the most well known human militaqry minds on my world. I just figured ya know. Well is that it? Come on keep up with me!"

She's only been grazed as she slipped out of the way and Moon Cutter strikes out again as she attemps to make use of it's reach against her larger foe.

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
"Looks like Rex decided to answer swords with swords. Might want a few more lessons though. Or maybe just eat her ... oh, wait, you can't actually -kill- anyone is this tournament. Well that's.... well, anyways!" Bramble Patch pauses to stuff her mouth with some popcorn after her pet squirrel returns with the snacks. "Tomoe takes advantage of being a small target to wisk herself out of the way of major injury." Cupule chitters sharply a few times. "You're right, it looks like she's trying to keep out of his personal space with the reach of her weapon." To which Bramble holds up a hoof to her mouth, kind of forgetting she's got the microphone right in front of her. "COM'N YOU TWO I WANNA SEE SOME BLOOD OUT THERE ALREADY!"

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
Toph sighs. "Don't call him Twinkletoes, Goldie." After all, she is the ultimate nickname authority here. Mental note. Come up with a fitting nickname for the oversized reptile. From these seats she can't 'see' all that well, but she does hear enough. "No matter how quick he is, he can't beat Tomoe!"
Lao sighs as his tea arrives, offering a polite nod to the attendant that brings him his tea, then glances away from the combatants to look at Tony. "If this is how round one is... then I dread how the finals are. Toph, sit up straight." Cue a sigh from the blind teenager as she shifts in her seat, then reaches out to take her bottle of drink as well as the popcorn.

Genghis Rex (114) has posed:
"You speak of Tem�jin? You speak of a human military mind as if it were something to be proud of! He's just another miserable mammal who could never live up to the might of the Tyrannos! I don't care what he calls himself, he's not even the palest of comparisons to ... ugh!"

Rex is silenced as Tomoe's blade clashes against his chest plate, sending him backwards (and slicing through Doctor Quackpot's smiling face on the t-shirt.)

Rex snarls, backing away from Tomoe and furrowing his saurian brow. He slides his scimitar away and pulls out his sidearm.

With a great sweeping motion he swings his tail down into the sand and scoops up a torrent of sand that flings in Tomoe's direction, but and he pivots around, he blasts the flying sand with his weapon, flash frying it into superheated tiny shards of glass, thousands of which are now zipping through the air at Tomoe.

Tony Stark (301) has posed:
"No?" Tony replies to Toph with amusement. "Well normally I call him Clifford but he was so light on his feet there I thought it warranted mention. --Thanks," he adds to the attendant as he takes his own drink and steals some of Toph's snacks. "Poor Doctor Quackpot has a slash through the middle of his face now," he keeps up the commentary for her benefit, since she can't see that kind of detail.

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
"That nickname is /taken/ already," Toph informs her supervising officer with a serious look on her face. Though she does hold up the snacks for him so he can take some, and then she offers the bag of popcorn to Lao, who politely declines with a shake of his head. "Well, it did sound like an ugly T-shirt anyway... GO TOMOE!"

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe is quite awar eof how to use it abnd she has a history of fighting things larger than she is. This helpes her for the most part as the saurian comes gor her. She moves but then comes glass? What what? Okay that's not what she was expecting she's caught buy it and it leaves a strange pepper pattern of bright red where the grains impacted with her body.

"Lunar cleave."

She throws herself at Genghis Rex sliding by kicking up sand and making a slice for what might be his thigh as she goes.

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
"And Tomoe slices up the promotional material. THANK YOU. That smile was just creepy as all get out." Bramble Patch would make a gagging motion if she wasn't eating. "Looks like she still hasn't cut through the tyrant's will though. He's.. throwing sand? Why is he--" Pause as Rex shoots his gun. "-- Okay, that was pretty cool. Rex shot the sand hot enough to make it glass. Sharp tiny bits of glass. Nasty. I'm startin' to like this big lizard after all." Cupule chitters sharply at her. "What? I said I liked his trick, I didn't say anything biased. Not like Tomoe is stopping because of it. Though she's still using sword slashes. Com'n, I know I said I wanna see blood, but get some variaty down there."

Tony Stark (301) has posed:
"I have to admit that was pretty clever, superheating the sand like that," Tony concedes Rex a grudging point. "/Sometimes/, I actually see a glimmer of intelligence behind all of the Rah Rah Stupid Mammals bullshit." Drinksip. "Hey Toph, think you could bend glass?"

Genghis Rex (114) has posed:
Rex staggars back as Tomoe's blade tastes flesh. A spray of red rips out across the sand and the King of the Tyrannos clutches at the wound. He realizes how close he is to her now and her blade, which she relies so heavily upon ... and like a 900 pound viper, he strikes with his massive jaw, not at Tomoe, but at her sword, intent on ripping it from her hands.

Toph Beifong (20) has posed:
Let Rex rave on and on about how he thinks mammals are stupid. Toph slurps her drink, only turn her face slightly towards Tony and away from the fight. "Huh?" Next to her Lao turns his attention to Tony as well, giving him an exasperated look. Not /this/ too? Wasn't it bad enough with the metalbending? Whether Toph notices it or not, she doesn't say. "I dunno, I haven't tried." That is something to ponder on though, but for now there is a fight going on. "Show that oversized reptile who's the boss!" she hollers, then makes a face when she realizes what Rex is trying to do.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe looks at Rex for a moment as she's scored a hit and she's dancing back on the snad.s He comes down at her intenidng to get the japanese spear and rip it out of he rhands, but that's left her far from helpless. OR is she? She seems to push back on the sand, then without warning she forms her red transparent wings and takes flight hoving somewhat off the ground kicking up sand as she does so.

Runes then appear about Tomoe as she utters some strange words and certain ones light up, that's when the beams of light start flying at Genghis Rex.

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
Bramble Patch leans a bit farther forward from the commentator's box. "And Rex decides to do something about that sword! She's lucky he didn't take the arm with it. But in return the girl is... is that laser or is that magic? Buck all, I can't tell, but she's making it look like one of DJ PON-3's raves out there with the light show."

Genghis Rex (114) has posed:
Rex so impressed with having taken away Tomoe's spear, doesn't see the sudden rune attack coming. He is knocked to the ground heavily, and covers up, and the blasts shower down and around him. When the attack subsides, he stands, clutching the spear, frustration and anger on his face.

He stares down at the spear is his claws for a long moment, then tosses it to the ground under Tomoe's feet, "I concede this match to you. My head is not in this fight and I will not subject myself to further humiliation. Congratulations, mammal, you have won."

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
"Ooof, looks like Rex ate a bit of a turf with that attack in taking cover. But he's getting back up. He's approaching his foe and... what? Did he just QUIT? Whaaaaaaat?!" She's too awestrucked to say more than that.

Tomoe has posed:
Tomoe is hovering there and isn't expecting something like this she'd not aimed to cripple her foe in such a manner. She hovers down from the skies and moves to land after all is said and done and she goes to recover her weapon before she speaks.

"Very well then. Genghis Rex, that is your choice."

In the back of her mind there's an old gaming term popping up and she's left a bit stunned here.

Bramble Patch (278) has posed:
Bramble Patch recovers. "Well, I guess that's it folks. Gengis Rex decided this wasn't worth his time as a ruler and conceded the match to Tomoe. So I guess she wins. Sort of. Kinda anti-climatic, but that sort of thing happens. Com'n Cupule, I've still got half a bag of popcorn here, maybe there's another fight to watch."
