Tinyplot: WMAT 2015


Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    The Spinach Wastes. A rather idealic location with its rolling green hills, sparking lakes and clear blue skies. This makes it sort of a shame to be chosen as a location for WMAT matches... Especially with today's combatants, both known for their destructive powers.

    Vivio is already on site, already in her Adult Mode and already wearing her Barrier Jacket. She's currently doing some stretches in preparation of the match, warming up and taking the opportunity to observes the sights of this beautiful place... Before it turns into a field of craters that could make even the moon jealous.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Though it wasn't too long ago that Kongou had already been within the World Martial Arts arena, here she is again! Thanks to some quick repair work and perhaps the use of a mysterious repair bucket, the warship maiden strolls out from the causeway beneath the stands opposite of Vivio's position. One hand rests on her hip as she approaches, the motion causing her Land Fitting to bob from side to side, which only ends when the woman stops walking.

    "<Good Afternoon!> I'll be your opponent--" Her free hand raises, forming a fist, "You'll be facing Kongou, first of the Kongou class fast battleships!" She then fistpumps twice, as if pulling down on something, which is accompanied by two short blasts from her foghorn.

    Immediately, both sets of guns start to rotate into a ready position, barrels elevating with metallic sounds.

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Vivio stands straight as watches as Kongou walks out into view. The Mage is grinning in anticipation of the fight and can't help but giggle at the foghorn.

    As Kongou finishes introducing herself, Vivio raises a hand to wave in greeting and says, "Hi, Kongou!" Giving the other woman a friendly smile, Vivio continues, "I'm going to hit hard, okay? So do your best and good luck!"

    One of the camera hovercars floats over to a point near the two combatants, this one also carrying the referee for the match. He holds a hand in Vivio's direction and asks, "Ready?" Vivio taps the tips of her boot against the ground, magic flaring to life on the bottom in the shape of wheels. She does the same for her other boot then settles into a ready stance on her mana skates, nodding to the referee.

    Swinging his hand around to Kongou, the referee once again asks, "Ready?" And assuming Kongou gives her confirmation, he swings his hand down and shouts, "FIGHT!"

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Kongou simply lowers her hand to her side, opposite hand still resting on her hip while her gun turrets emit a series of internal clicking sounds. When questioned, she smiles brightly, "<Always Ready~!>" And then he's prompted to fight.

    Kongou takes a step forward, swinging herself side-on to Vivio and pushing her hand out. Her main battery starts moving, swiveling around, though the initial attack comes instead from the smaller secondary guns protruding from the sides of her rigging and hip mounting. Rumbling thudding sounds and puffs of gray smoke announce the reports, as small caliber shells are thrown across the distance between battleship and magical girl.

    "Hit as hard as you like~!" she teases, "I can take it, and I won't be holding back in return~!"

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    As the referee announces the beginning of the fight, Vivio doesn't hesitate. Energy flares up behind her from her mana skates and suddenly she's off, speeding across the ground fast, though still easy enough to track with the eye.

    Tracking with turrets though is another matter as the Mage doesn't head straight for Kongou, but rather at an angle to her as she circles the battleship. The result is the fired shells often hitting the ground where Vivio was moments before, rather than Vivio herself. A few rounds get close, barely grazing the girl, but it does little against her Barrier Jacket.

    Raising her hand to point towards Kongou as she skates, magic quickly gathers at the tip of Vivio's finger. It soon blasts off as a bolt of irridescent light, streaking towards Kongou and causing a small explosion against whatever it hits.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Battle is where Kongou fulfills her purpose, as such while the woman whirls in place to keep her eyes on Vivio, she still has that warm smile on her face. Her feet dig in and she gets moving in her own right, veering away. The incoming magic bolt comes in at a shallow angle, striking the deck-like top section of her rigging and glancing off with a spray of sparks, leaving a scorch mark behind and shooting off under the woman's arm and beyond.

    As Kongou turns, her main battery turrets also traverse, turning on Vivio faster than they otherwise would due to the way Kongou maneuvers her body to bring two of the four turrets to bear. The foremost guns elevate slightly, tracking Vivio's faster movements and then opening fire with a cacophanous report that puts the rumble of her secondary battery to shame. Smoke obscures Kongou, while a pair of high explosive shells are hurled out on an intercept course, not where Vivio is, but where she should be by the time they arrive.

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    BOOM! The shells explode the ground just as Vivio reaches it, creating a blast of dust and debris. It looks like a direct hit! Is that it for our heroic fighter? Psh, of course not. Why would you think that? This fight is just getting started!

    Vivio comes skating out of the dust cloud, Barrier Jacket a little scuffed but otherwise still intact. She's changed her course though, no longer circling but now heading straight for Kongou. She darts towards the battleship, hand forming a fist and throwing a punch on her way past, a small blast of magic lighting up on contact as Vivio quickly turns. She speeds back at Kongou again, another rapid punch unleashed during the hit and run.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    With her foe now closing distance, Kongou abandons the idea of ranged combat at least for a moment. She digs her heels down and arrests her motion, twisting in place. The radars on her headband swivel during the part of the turn that Kongou can't directly see Vivio's approach, and she presents her back and her rigging for the girl's magic-powered fist to strike.

    When Vivio comes about for a second run, Kongou leans into the approach, permitting a hit against her surprisingly solid body. Her own arm shoots out, hooked, to try and catch the smaller woman by the shoulders and shove, with the intent of slamming Vivio against the ground using a combination of her own momentum and Kongou's strength.

    "You're speedy, like a certain destroyer, but~!"

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Vivio oofs as she's shoved, losing balance and meeting the ground rather hard. She bounces across it a couple of times before planting her hand on the ground, spinning on it and landing her her mana skates once more. She twirls around to a halt and then stands again.

    Kongou appears to be a tough opponent! This should definitely prove to be a challenge for Vivio... If she's going to win, she has to find a weakness somewhere! Vivio grins and replies, "I'm just getting started!"

    Magic flares up again from Vivio's skates as she launches herself forward. She's heading straight for Kongou once more, but not for any mere hit and run. She brings her fist around once for a solid right hook, a bit more power behind it than her last hits.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    "Good, Good~!" Kongou cheers on her foe, "That's enough for <Warm Up> then~!" With Vivio winding up for another charge in, Kongou plants her feet down and hunches forward, hands out to either side in a braced position. The blow strikes her face solidly, pushing Kongou's look aside in a motion that she transitions down her body, shifting her stance. There's a noticable black mark on her cheek from the impact and the magical burst, though it almost looks more like a scorch on metal than skin.

    She did say she was a battleship!

    Speaking of that, the twist Kongou put through her body has shifted the position of her rigging, which is now shockingly close to Vivio's side. The twin barrels elevate to fine-tune their aim in that split second opening before firing at what can only be described as point blank range, surrounding both girls in a burst of smoke both from the report as well as the immediate blast of high explosives.

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Vivio skids out of the smoke cloud, arms crossed in some form of protection from the point blank shot. Her Barrier Jacket is a little more scorched than before, but the Mage is still standing strong. As she finally stops, she grins at Kongou and nods in agreement, "Sounds good!"

    Vivio lets her mana skates vanish, returning to standing on the ground. She moves into an attack stance in preparation, eyeing the battleship closely. She starts, "Revolver-" Her foot shifts just ever so slightly as she pushes off, moving up right in front of Kongou in the blink of an eye with her Jet Step. Her leg glowing with magic comes up in a roundhouse kick to Kongou's side as she finishes, "-Spike!"

    The blast of magic unleashed by the strike is much more impressive than what Vivio's been using so far!

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Kongou's smile is ever-present, much like her battle against her previous opponent (at least, until her face was no longer visible). As the smoke dissipates, she reaches behind herself, adjusting the rest of her rigging against her hips. Vivio opts for another rushdown attack, something that Kongou is growing accustomed to from this fighter. Small, fast, but having trouble finding purchase against the battleship's heavy armor.

    The destroyer comparison might not be so far off after all! Internally, Kongou notes to watch for big attacks. Even the humble destroyer carries torpedoes, after all.

    As Vivio gets close and swings a magically-enhanced kick into Kongou's side, the battleship twists her hips and the blow slams into the end of her rigging instead, bashing a dent into the armored belt and sending scorch marks down both sides with the blast of magic. There's a loud metallic clang from the impact, followed by a similar sound when the rigging suddenly moves independent of Kongou's body.

    Weilding her Land Fit-out in one hand by its mast, Kongou swings the heavy steel rigging around in a swift arc like a hammer, trailing smoke from where the Revolver Spike had impacted, "Ey~!"

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    They don't call her a battleship for nothing! Vivio continues to find it hard to break through Kongou's impressive ability to take a hit. It's looking like light, quick strikes may not be the best method of attack against this opponent... And the swinging rigging-hammer seems like a good opportunity to start!

    Recognizing an opening and quickly formulating a plan of attack, Vivio ducks down into a crouch just in time for the rigging to sweep right over her head. Gathering magic into both her hands, Vivio waits until the danger has passed and then counters.

    The Mage pushes up from her crouch, using the strength in her legs and arms and the mass of her whole body to strike both hands against Kongou's chest with yet another impressive blast of magic.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Not striking anything throws Kongou off balance somewhat, as she had expected to hit something and failed to compensate appropriately in case she whiffed the strike with her fitting. This leaves her open for Vivio's close range magic burst, which explodes against Kongou's torso with a blast of smoke and magical light, an impact solid enough to stagger the warship back a pace. She's not down yet, though.

    Kongou had been expecting Vivio to pull something bigger out, as per her own experience that big things are often fired out of small packages!

    Still weilding her fitting like a hammer, Kongou corrects her balance and swings it in a backhanded arc intent on knocking the smaller girl away. An immediate follow-up tucks the fitting against her forearm while leveling the two turrets for a follow-up attack, "Fiyah~! FIYAH~!"

    Obscured in smoke with the thunder of her main battery, Kongou sends two salvos, a total of four high explosive shells after Vivio before she draws her rigging back to reattach it to her hips.

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    The swinging rigging strikes true, smashing into Vivio and sending her flying. She crashes down into the ground and groans quietly... That hurt... Unfortunately it's not over yet as the group of shells rain down on her position. The explosions rip apart the ground, throwing up dust and debris.

    As the smoke from the attack fades, Vivio can be seen lieing in a large crater, several holes in her Barrier Jacket created by the explosive fire. Vivio climbs to her feet again, swaying a bit, but soon steadying herself. She wipes a bit of dirt from her face but then grins at Kongou, "You're definitely turning out as tough as I expected."

    A triangular spell circle appears on the ground beneath Vivio as she sweeps her arm out to the side. A dozen orbs of irridescent magic appear floating in the air around her, crackling with energy. Vivio finishes with, "I guess I'll just have to try hitting harder!"

    Vivio swings her arm around to point at Kongou, the orbs blasting off towards the battleship with trails of light. They arc through the air, approaching from multiple directions but combining on a single point that is Kongou's current location, exploding with an impressive blast size.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Barrels de-elevate, ejecting smoke while the turrets click internally, reloading for the next volley. From her experience with other foes, though, Kongou knows that smoke doesn't mean victory as it often does in ship-to-ship warfare. Once she sights Vivio rising up again, her smile returns, "You can take a hit~! That's very good~!" Her heels dig in and push her into motion again, approaching at a steady pace while the guns on her rigging draw their beads, "I'm not going to stop until one of us can't move anymore, though~. <Total Knock Out!>"

    Magic orbs converge on her. One or two glance off against her rigging's armor, exploding in places where they do minimal damage. A great many more impact her body and armor belt more directly, peppering her with explosions and bursts of magic that leave dark marks on her outfit and dents in her rigging. There's the odd tear here and there, but for the most part she simply keeps up her advance.

    "But this is where I get serious, okay~?" Though the smile is ever-present, she sounds sincere. With a stomp, she halts herself and draws up an arm, then thrusts it forward, "Ready! Aim~!"

    Immediately, all four turrets open fire at the same time, hurling out a cloud of black smoke and flame from which a total of eight shells soar forth.

    "FIYAH~!"

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    The large explosions are pretty hard to escape... Vivio can be seen flying out of the blast area... Well not so much flying as thrown, by the force of the blasts. She hits the ground hard, bouncing a few times before coming to a stop.

    There's still smoke rising from the blackened parts of the Barrier Jacket, which is getting burned off more and more with each attack. Vivio's strength is also obviously getting sapped more and more as she struggles to get up onto one knee this time. But it still looks like she's enjoying the fight as she smiles... Or maybe that's because she has a plan? Vivio flicks her wrist, two fingers waving as she says, "Phantom Smash."

    So that last attack of Vivio's? Turns out not all the orbs had reached their target. Two took an alternate route, hidden amidst the barrage. They now come around, called by Vivio to strike Kongou from behind, aiming for what Vivio hopes are critical parts of the battleship's equipment.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    With her guns reloading, Kongou lowers her hand and resumes her approach, closing distance once more with where Vivio has landed as a result of the earlier barrage. Her radars shift, alerting her to unexpected incoming fire, but the alert comes too late for her to angle. The first shot slams against her rigging's armor belt, smashing through one of the secondary gun casemates and detonating the ammunition inside, causing a wince. The second shot impacts the back of Kongou's left-side superfiring turret, striking it so solidly that it throws the rotation off with a metallic squealing sound. As it tries to correct the traverse, the motion is much slower, emitting a grinding sound of damaged internal mechanics.

    Clearly Kongou will have to keep a better eye on the battlefield for tricks like that! From her banged up rigging, a crane arm swings out behind her. There's a hiss of steam and a small green aircraft with pontoons takes to the sky, banking sharply into the ascent. Within, a tiny fairy manipulates the controls while a second leans over in her seat with a camera, snapping pictures and squeaking into a radio handpiece.

    With the aft turret damaged, Kongou swings her hips to bring the forward two guns to bear instead, ignoring the complaints from the #3 gun's traverse mechanism for now. The guns elevate, and Kongou thrusts her hand forward again, mid-step, "At this point it's been all Type 93 shells! Let me introduce you to Sanshiki-san~!"

    The two abreast turrets fire, one after the other and slinging red-painted shells. Kongou's hand clenches and she yanks her fist back with a shout, and the shells burst in midair, hurling out cones of shrapnel and magnesium rods wreathed in crimson flame.

    "<Burning Love~!>"

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Well, that's something at least! Vivio does appear to be doing some more serious damage to Kongou now... Though it looks like there is still a lot of fight left in the older woman!

    Watching the shells carefully, Vivio's eyes widen as they explode into shrapnel. She jumps, trying to clear the majority of the metal rain. While she avoids much of it, she is still caught on the edge as the metal rips into her Barrier Jacket and in some places, drawing blood.

    Vivio lands again, a little unsteadily, but she manages it without falling over. She giggles quietly and says, "Nice! Now let me show you something my mama taught me!" Vivio begins to run towards Kongou again. Another frontal attack? Perhaps not, the orb of irridescent light forming in her hand slightly different.

    Vivio doesn't close the entire way, just close enough that when she jumps into the air, she's soaring over the battleship, "Flash Strike-" She thrusts her hand forward, holding the orb of light towards Kongou, "Divine Buster!"

    The orb of light bursts, forming a large cone shaped blast of energy. While not as strong as the one Vivio used against Bardock, Vivio is a lot closer and the blast more concentrated! Even if it doesn't hit Kongou, it blasts a large crater into the ground~

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Vivio takes to the air and Kongou's radars adjust, tracking the girl's trajectory. Though she's too high for Kongou's main battery to engage, the various anti-air emplacements on her rigging open fire, filling the sky with bursts of flak and machine gun tracer fire. It doesn't do much to dissuade the girl's attack, enveloping Kongou in a pillar of magical light that bores a crater into the ground around her. There's a shout of surprise and the scream of strained steel from within the blast that only abates when the spell ends, leaving Kongou obscured in smoke.

    by the time Vivio lands, it's clear that Kongou is still standing, obscured by dust and smoke, her rigging damaged. The battered #3 turret has caved in, its barrels mangled. The #2 turret on the other side is also damaged, missing a barrel entirely. Her outfit is tattered in places and even one of her radars is missing, shorn off. Slowly, she turns, her smile still present, though a bit strained by the damage.

    "Your mother taught you well~, that's quite a cannon~!" Her foot lifts and then slams down, putting Kongou side-on with Vivio, shattering the heat-fused floor of the crater she occupies.

    Overhead, Kongou's observation seaplane banks, circling at a respectable distance while the woman digs her foot in and kicks off. This time her approach is not simply a walk, but a dash, displaying her true nature as a Fast Battleship. While her guns reload from the latest barrage, the woman draws her arm back and kicks off the ground, giving herself a little height-- Not as much as the smaller, lighter Vivio-- just so she can bring her fist down in a vertical blow, "So long as I have engine power, you still have an opponent!"

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Vivio grins happily at the compliment, "Thanks!" She recognises the seaplane observing from above, which is fine with Vivio. After all she too is observing, though only with her own eyes since she has no one else...

    Well, Vivio does have Chris, her Device. But so far Kongou hasn't been launching much in the way of surprise attacks, so Chris has been focused on mitigating the punishment that Vivio has been receiving. Which is a good thing since it lets Vivio concentrate on observing her opponent... Identifying their attack: An overhead blow. Reacting to it: Vivio dances out of the way, the fist coming down through empty space. Then countering: Vivio continues her movement, spinning around Kongou's side, jumping and bringing her leg around for another magic-boosted kick to the back of the battleship's head.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    Kongou's remaining radar swivels and, in the observation airplane, the recon fairy squeaks into her radio. Immediately, Kongou shifts herself upon landing to take Vivio's kick against the back of her shoulder rather than her head, blasting off a good chunk of her outfit, which dissolves as if it were utterly destroyed. The woman kicks off, throwing herself forward rather than sticking to the melee with Vivio. Getting herself a few yards, Kongou slams her feet down to arrest her motion and turns, side-on to her foe once again.

    "A <Strong Fight~!>" she compliments, raising a hand, "But this is the end of it, I think!" Rather than point, she holds her hand up overhead, as if pointing at the sky. Silvery light gathers around the woman, then bursts outward into a sphere. There's a pause, a rumbling sound, before she emerges once again--slightly different. Kongou's form has changed, erupting forward from the sphere as the fully formed hull, superstructure, and gun turrets of the full-sized battleship, angled forward and then striking the ground and sinking in, plowing a furrow in the soft soil. Her remaining turrets, the aft gunhouse as well as the forward two, all traversing, the barrels lowering with noisy metallic clicks until Kongou's full remaining battery of five 35.5cm guns are appropriately leveled. Amidships, the 15.2cm single guns that hadn't been destroyed also swing out, the ship's hull bristling with firepower.

    "This is the real me~!" the woman's voice sounds through the ship's PA system, "I'd show you around, but there's a time and a place for everything! Ready! Aim!" ... "FIYAH~!"

    If the blasts of Kongou's battery was loud before, at full size, it's downright deafening. The report echoes for miles and fills the entire cordoned-off arena with black smoke from spent cordite.

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Vivio turns to face her opponent who looks to be getting a little space. The Mage doesn't immediately chase, instead watching carefully. She does no in agreement with Kongou, "It's been a great fight! No matter who wins, I've had a lot of fun~"

    Kongou then begins to gather energy... An attack? No, it looks more like a transformation... Vivio's eyes go wide and she can't help but take a few steps back as the large battleship emerges from the light. She wasn't actually aware that this was a thing that the ship people could do!

    As Kongou's voice comes out over the PA system, Vivio oooooohs in awe, "That's so cool~" However, now is not the time to admire Kongou as the large ship's turrets start to turn towards her. Vivio decides upon a plan, crouching down as she summons a Round Barrier between herself and the large ship. Then the massive guns unleash their fury.

    Vivio and the ground she's standing on are engfuled in the massive fireball of all that firepower. The smoke quickly fills the air, making it hard to see. The ringing aftermath of the thundering cannons finally passes and things begin to clear. There's no sign of Vivio at ground zero.

    In the air above Kongou a light grows, streaking down towards the ship. Sure enough, Vivio rockets out of a particularly thick cloud of smoke. Her Barrier Jacket is in ruins, parts of her skin burned and her face is strained... But she's still fighting! The glowing light comes from her fist, which is only gaining in intensity.

    Vivio angles her flight towards one of Kongou's larger 35.5cm turrets, moving her glowing fist back in preparation as she shouts, "AXEL-" Vivio swings, fist meeting armored turret. Magic flares as Vivio tries to punch her way through the heavy metal plating, holding back the majority of the blast in the hopes of penetrating the armor and unleashing it within. Either way, Vivio finally finishes, "SMASH!" The resulting explosion of magical light is quite the sight!

Kongou (637) has posed:
    "<Yes~!>" Kongou declares, clearly agreeing. It's been a fun battle! Though unexpectedly difficult, elites are really something else compared to the Abyssal Navy's rank and file! The bridge-mounted radar adjusts, and even though eyesight is obscured by all the smoke from her barrage, the anti-air guns suddenly open up on the airborne girl. This time there's quite a lot more danger, as the guns are all at their full size. Quickly recognizing that they might not shoot Vivio down before she hits, the heavier 40mm flak guns adjust and attempt to fence Vivio's approach into something more favorable.

    Vivio impacts the roof of the #1 forward turret, caving in the steel armor with the power of her magic and forcing both guns upward sharply. A grinding sound echoes from inside as they shudder, revealing the guns are unable to aim and, likely, unable to fire at all with the apparent damage done to the interior of the gunhouse. But she fails to penetrate into that vulnerable, vulnerable magazine.

    Beneath Vivio, the armor suddenly shines silver and then disappears, dropping her towards the furrow carved into the arena's landscape by Kongou's bow. The air is filled with smoke and sparkles of light from magic, from the Ocean fitout, and from the earlyer barrage. And from the middle of it, Kongou dashes forward, low, arms sweeping out and her damaged rigging held nearly vertically off her hips.

    Kicking off as she gets closer, Kongou takes a page from a previous opponent's handbook and uses her head, combined with a running tackle.

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    Vivio is a little surprised that there is no large ship beneath her suddenly. She falls to the ground, barely able to land properly, falling to one knee. She's breathing a little heavily after that last attack, her body complaining about the injuries it's received so far. But Vivio can't give in yet! She's so close, she can feel it... Or maybe that's still the defeaning thundering of Kongou's cannons still rattling around inside her head. Whichever it may be, Vivio stubbornly gets back to her feet and turns to face Kongou once more.

    Vivio watches Kongou run towards her, leaned over, apparently trying a tackle attack. So Vivio decides to take a page from one of her opponents too... This one, in fact.

    Timing her movements, Vivio shifts to the side at the last moment. It's not enough to completely avoid the tackle, getting clipped by Kongou's shoulder. It hurts, but Vivio continues turning, reaching out with a hand to try and grab Kongou, to push her, using her own momentum combined with Vivio's strength to faceplant the battleship into the ground hard.

Kongou (637) has posed:
    The difference is that using Kongou's weight against her requires one to be able to handle something that's heavier than it looks. With her metal rigging in place, grabbing and shoving on Kongou barely adds to her momentum. But she does find herself in a disadvantageous position. So, she uses a trick she came up with out of the blue weeks ago.

    Two steps past Vivio, Kongou's rigging lets out a loud metallic sound and disengages, dropping from her hips entirely to slam into the ground behind her. It doesn't even bounce, it just impacts and stays there. The girl herself digs a heel in and promptly stops herself, than kicks back and up.

    Her feet touch the top of her own rigging for the briefest of moments, before Kongou hurls herself right off her rigging and back-first at Vivio. It's not some bizarre backwards bellyflop, though!

    In midair, Kongou arranges herself so that she comes down elbow-first, putting her full weight to her own advantage..!

Vivio Takamachi (737) has posed:
    It's a solid hit! Kongou slams down onto Vivio, who crumples under the heavy weight and impacts the ground beneath. The Mage looks to be still for several seconds... And more as the referee on his hovercar floats over to observe closely.

    Finally the referee anounces, "Competitor Vivio Takamachi is no longer able to fight! The match victory goes to Kongou!"

    There's cheering in the stands after the fight's outcome is decided. Medics rush over from the side lines to see to the two competitors. all the while, Vivio is out cold!
