WMAT AQ1 The Desert Marvel, N'raha Tia vs. Mokuba Kaiba
Date of Scene: 19 August 2015
Location: WMAT Arena - Spinach Wastes
Synopsis: N'raha and Mokuba have it out in round one action on the WMAT
Cast of Characters: 623, N'raha Tia


N'raha Tia has posed:
    If you were expecting a flighty, haggard, anxious catdude here today, that is not what you are getting.

    After his victory the other night, his work with theScions and the Union and more and more practice, the young Miqo'te is at least getting used to this side of things, when it comes to being in the public eye.

    He sits near to one of the sets of stands, red armor slightly dull in the passing clouds. There is a massive axe next to him along with his helmet, and he's calmly waiting for his opponent.

    The crowds aren't that large today, at least on N'raha's side of the 'arena'

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba walks into the arena. The crowds aren't huge for him, either. He's not a huge name in the Multiverse. His brother? Sure, he'd bring in a crowd. But, at least, a handful of people are watching Mokuba. This group watching does not include his brother, though. Instead, it's mostly a handful of people in suits. Bodyguards, just in case.

     Mokuba's duel disk is on his left arm. His deck is slotted. His left hand itself has five cards already draw. The right? Free to draw and place cards.

     He smirks at N'raha, chuckling a bit. Mokuba actually looks a bit bratty and egotistical. Everything about this ten year old child with long black hair screams 'brat', really.

     "Ah man, this is the Desert Marvel? You aren't all /that/ cool looking!"

N'raha Tia has posed:
    The catman's tail swishes a bit, and he grins. "Well, we'll see at the end of this, now won't we?" He chuckles, slips up to his feet, and hefts his axe. "Right then, let's get this started! No sense in wastin' time."

    The Marauder levels the axe to point right at Mokuba. "My name is N'raha of Eorzea, the Desert Marvel. LET THE FLAMES OF THANALAN TAKE YOU." And with that, he-

    Well he's not fast by Multiversal standard, but he's sprinting in platemail, a trail of aetheric wind gusting behind him as he closes the distance. About 30 feet away, he whirls in his motion, huring a bolt of aggravating energy at the Card Kid, testing the waters.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba, for all of his ego, is still just a ten year old kid. Being hit dead on, right away? That would be bad for him. He has to act differently than most, summoning forth monsters to take the hits for him.

     And so he acts fast, drawing a card. The fact that Mokuba had an early chance to look at his hand, and the fact that N'raha isn't supersonic fast, help give him a bit of time to act. He plays a card quickly.

     "NIGHTMARE PENGUIN! IN DEFENSE MODE!"

     A Penguin appears. A penguin wearing a tuxedo, vest, and tophat. It has a brilliant pair of yellow eyebrows as well. It stands in the path of the attack. Mokuba is a bit too slow, though. The burst grazes the penguin, but it still hits him. He stumbles back, frowning forward, "...Bah! You won't get so lucky twice! I made this deck /specifically/ to beat you. Going around, bragging about being used to the desert? I bet you've never even /seen/ a fish, let alone know what a penguin is! You're completely out of your element! AND TIME TO MAKE IT WORSE! TERRAFORMING!"

     He slaps a card down on the Duel Disk. A card is pushed out of his deck by an automated function, and onto the field itself. A special slot, for 'Field Cards'. The entire battlefield suddenly /changes/. Holographic water, about a foot deep. It rolls and moves, making it look like the two are standing in the ocean. Various stone ruins appear around, with various platforms. Mokuba himself is lifted up onto a stone platform, mostly by chance.

     "AND SEE IT NOW?! The Legendary Ocean! You won't even stand a chance! ATTACK, NIGHTMARE PENGUIN!"

     Holograms appear in the air, showing the creature's attack and defense. It started as 900/1800, but the attack immediately shoots up to 1100. And then, once the ocean appears, both stats increase further. 1300/2000. These numbers mean little to Elties, though. Instead, the Penguin rushes forward, moving straight into N'raha. It moves along the water, swimming elegantly despite its suit. And then, it moves to tackle into the Desert Wonder.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    N'raha awks a bit as the place suddenly changes and... and now it's an ocean. He looks around confusedly a bit at 'why the crap am I in the water' when Penguin thing decks him in the face and he flops back on his ass with a splash.
    A grunt of confusion. Wizards. Bluh. Astrologians even, weird ass astrologian. He spins in place and growls. Okay, we're summoning crap. He can't do that forever. He plants his feet, waiting for the thing to make its next pass and- The Miqo'te's axe raises up and he delivers a heavy lumbnerjack's swing at the critter, aiming to evaporate it or whatever is going to happen to Magically Appearing Fishbirds.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     As the axe comes in against the Nightmare Penguin, it is split straight in half. It bursts into various shards of light, which rapidly dissipate into the air. Mokuba bites the side of his lip in anger, a scowl on his face. Last fight, he was willing to go ahead and fake being somewhat good of a kid. But, he already heard that his last opponent lost to N'raha. And his last opponent, as loathe as he is to admit it? She was as strong as him.

     "You got lucky!" He draws his next card, grinning wildly. Yeaaah, this'll turn things around. He plays it, face up on his Duel Disk. "I PLAY ORCA MEGA-FORTRESS OF DARKNESS! ATTACK!"

     An Orca appears. A rather /large/ orca. Its back is cvoerd by a metal sheet, and various spikes are on the front of htis platform. In fact, on closer inspection, it almost looks like it is actually a ship. It even has a crane, for sea salvage. This whale stays still, though. Right in front of Mokuba. The spike-like torpedoes on its head begin to fire out, flying through the air and aiming to hit N'raha Tia.

     It's attack and defense, currently, are 2300/1400. If it even really matters.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    Now he's summoning Boatshipfish things. It's certainly not the Primal Leviathan, but it's a big fish. THough, there's a theme here that he's finally catching on to.

    there's a fangy grin on the catman's face as he spots the frustration on Mokuba's face, and starts to charge across the stones.

    He's spry, even for the armor, and makes dashing jumps to clear the distance. He takes one of the missles in the shoulder but there's a flash of aether and he barrels through it, to get up and on top of the fishboat, howling. "You realize, Mr. Kaiba, what this axe means, right?" He lifts up the fire branded axe and growls, as he heads for that crane. "It means YARRR I BE A PIRATE NOW." He once again plants his feet, and this time launches a series of strikes against the crane, aiming to bring it down off the orca. "ARRRRR ME HEARTIES!" Wait is he mocking the kid?

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The crane is chopped straight in half, slamming into the whale. It cries out in pain, somehow managing to still stay up despite that hard hit. A look of shock is on the boy's face now. He planned this! He planned this /so well/. How can this Desert Marvel be /so good/ with water, and sealife, and know what a pirate is? In fact, Mokuba even shouts out a bit, while drawing his next card, "...WHY IS THE DESERT MARVEL SO GOOD WITH WATER AND FISH?!"

     He slams down his next card, swearing a bit under his breath. If the catman can hear him, he'll definitely hear a few f-bombs. Another creature forms. A large white fish, with plates over its entire body. It almost looks like a salmon, but more hardcore.

     "TERRORKING SALMON! ORCA MEGA-FORTRESS OF DARKNESS! Keep it up! RELENTLESSLY ATTACK HIM! NO DEFENSE!"

     The Orca tries to attack by swimming towards a stone holographic building, trying to slam N'raha into it. Even if N'raha isn't hit into the building, the building will still collapse. The Terrorking Salmon leaps out of the water, moving towards N'raha. Aiming to bite with his crushing mouth.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    "AH hells, did he really think..." Yes, yes he did, and the catman is not about to let the point of advantage go to waste. "Ya gotta know in the future, Mr. Kaiba...." He wheels in place and slams his axe down, unleashing an aetheric wave of heat and pain to buffet those missle launchers on the Orca. "That it's a good idea to get a fill idea of who yer gonna fight!"

    Ah crap, demon salmon and ROCKS FALL. There's a flash of light, and then N'raha is swamped under the rubble...
    The light builds and flashes over though, and the catman can be seen in the beak of the salmon axe raised his cross ways to block off the critter from biting all the way through. "AND NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A MIQO'TE!" He shoves off the fish and then launches into a flurry of strikes, aiming to harass and murder the armored fish.

    Mmmmmmm, lox.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The Terrorking Salmon is struck into by that flurry of blades. It shifts and cries out, struggling as it is hit. At this point, Mokuba has realized. Oh /fuck/. He /completely/ messed up. This guy /is/ used to fighting fish! Though, with that axe, he highly doubts even his plant/reptile deck would hold up well.

     There is only /one way/ he can win. Taking advantage of how /many/ fish he and penguins he can summon.

     He draws his next card, smiling, "...Well. Even if you /are/ good with fish, and even if the idea that you being the Desert Marvel meant you sucked at ocean stuff is wrong... Well... I CAN STILL WIN THIS! With /this/ card!"

     He sets a card in attack position. The Great Emperor Penguin. It looks much like a normal Emperor Penguin, except larger. And it has /teeth/. But, it's not there for long. "I USE ITS EFFECT! Tribute him, to summon /two more/ penguins from my deck!"

     Two penguins appear on the battlefield. A new Nightmare Penguin, suit and all. The second is blue, with eyebrows that almost look like wings. The Flying Penguin.

     And, because of the Nightmare Penguin, the Flying Penguin and the Orca Mega-Fortress of Darkness are both stronger than before. This is in addition to the boost from the Legendary Ocean.

     A biologist who focuses on artic animals is probably crying, as the penguins and orca work in tandem with eachtoher. The Orca moves in to tackle, while the two penguins dash through the water to leap and tackle into N'raha. The penguins are moving faster and faster, and trying to leap and hit N'raha multiple times.

     "I'M GONNA SINK YOU NOW!"

N'raha Tia has posed:
    And now this is where we are. Well, if N'raha really wanted to put his Pirate Chopmans skills to the test, this kid was doing it. He growls as the penguiny assault starts, dodging and weaving as best he can but to no avail. He staggers and shakes and that armor is tested pretty hard as he it buffetted by beaks and bulk.
    And for a moment, he vanishes under the weight and waves of the ocean.

    SLAM. There's a terrible noise as one of those stone pillars rumbles and falls against another one, and the Marauder comes barreling out of the water, howling mad and steaming from the force of his aether buring off the damp not-salt of the ocean. "THE SEA HASN'T SWALLOWED ALL YET, MOKUBA KAIBA!" That tail lashes furiously as he aims for the biggest thing here: The Orca. Not content with simply choping pieces of it away, he outright heads for a decapitation attack, axe lashing up and STRAIGHT DOWN at the front of the critter. Biggest threat first.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba is left speechless. His mouth simply hangs open as he watches the feat of strength performed by N'raha. He understands that the Elites of the Multiverse are impressive. But that axe, cutting into the neck of this whale? Bisecting it, right then and there? this is impressive. The whale's head flies off. Instead of gore, it bursts into shards like the other destroyed monsters.

     Mokuba is in /way/ over his head. His big brother was probably right.

     He pulls his next card. And immediately plays it. "MORAY OF GREED! Two of my water monsters go back from my hand to my deck! And then I draw a card!" He slots in two monsters. This is a risky manuever. But, there is a certain card he is looking for. A certain card that could help him turn this around. Maybe.

     There is a glimmer in his eyes. And Mokuba smirks.

     "This? This is where you /lose/. I tribute the Flying Penguin to summon the /most powerful/ monster in my deck! LEVIA-DRAGON, DAEDALUS!"

     The Flying Penguin vanishes. The Nightmare Penguin moves back, to defend Mokuba. Where the Flying Penguin was, a new monster has appeared. It is a massive, serpentine sea creature. Its body is blue in color, and mostly played. A red fin trails along its back. It opens its mouth, letting out a massive roar. A sparkling is within its mouth, and it fires out a massive beam of energy, straight towards N'raha.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    WELL NOW. He called up a Primal, and the primal is trying to Temper him. Or at least roast him where he stands. He settles himself square on the pedistal, and calls out. "I HAVEN'T FALLEN YET, KAIBA. TAKE YOUR BE-"

    Oh hey, that's a pretty good shot. The barf of energy engulfs N'raha, splintering the pedestal he's on and driving it into the 'ocean'. But in the ceter of the blast there's a wave of energy and a spark of light. A bubble, just enough to hold back the flames, protects the catman as he stand resolute.

    That isn't to say he's not feeling it. There's pain and rage in those green eyes, as he swings that axe forward again. "I AIN'T LOST YET, MOKUBA. THIS HASN'T EVEN STARTED." Oh yeah, he's feeling it now as the fury builds up, and he simply charges again. This tanking business tires it out of a fellow, eventually. Not today though, he's running on spunk and Mad. That axe glows, his whole body shimmers red, as he starts taking shots at the bulk of the Levithan. That axe flares white-orange with aerther as he hurls himself into it, a spinning whirring dance of pain and murder.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba swears to himself. That didn't do it? How did that not do it! And now, N'raha is rushing in towards the leviathan. Full of power. There is only so much Mokuba can do in this situation. That axe will be hitting, no matter what. And Mokuba just swears out loud, towards N'raha. "FUCK YOU! YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" Mokuba is not a good sport.

     "I TAKE UMI OFF THE FIELD TO ACTIVATE HIS ABILITY! HEY, GUESS WHAT? ROCK FALLS, EVERYONE DIES! Or... TIDAL WAVE FALLS!"

     The ability activates. There is a surge within the ocean, caused by the Levia-Dragon. The waters rise up, forming into a massive tsunami. An all destroying tsunami. Were this the game itself, there would be a very simple effect right now: Destroy all cards on the field but Daedalus.

     Unfortunately, Daedelus is burst in half the very moment the tidal wave coems crashing down at N'raha. The entire ocean vanishes, and Mokuba even falls to the ground. He is ready for this, at least, landing on his feet. But the holographic ocean is no longer present.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    Till the sea swallows all. It's something the Yellowjackets and the Maelstrom live by. Loyal until the very end. But now the sea is swallowing all. Everything the whole battlefield in fact. N'raha can do little here, save for just... he closes his eyes and lets it happen. Just plants his frame behind his axe, kneels down and leans into it, as best he can. This is what he's been training for.

    and then there is only water, only ocean.. and him. He's slammed into the stone pillars as they vanish, as they too are swallowed by the card's effect...

    But then there is nothing but the Spinach Plain again, placid and calm and idyl as ever... And there is him and Mokuba and that damnable penguin. He shakes water out of his ears that isn't there, plucks up his axe and starts stalking over towards the kid. "This ain't very sporting, I know, but you gotta understand that you can't plan for everything, you know. And now it's time to take your lumps, and be calm about it." He charges in, that axe whirls at the Penguin, once, twice three times, a full combo chain on the Defender, before N'raha takes the final strike at Mokuba himself, aiming for that holo-deck of his.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    And then he drops the sharp of his axe against the kid, and hisses. "NOW STAY DOWN."

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     The penguin tries to strike back as it is attacked. Without the Legendary Ocean, though? It's a lot weaker. It's cut into shreds, vanishing again. Mokuba's own life points are nearly depleted as well. Meaning, just a bit more, and he'll be defeated.

     And then, the axe cuts forward. It breaks into the Duel Disk. The duel disk is destroyed. Mokuba is still concious, though. He's not out for the count yet. But really, what /can/ he do, at this point? Waht can he do rather than give up? He tries to look meek and innocent. It's a look that doesn't suit him. He reaches into his pocket, somewhat casually.

     "...Well. I /guess/ you have a point...."

     And then suddenly Mokuba pulls out a taser. He shoots it forward, straight for N'raha's face. An insane amount of electricity is being shot through it.

     "OR I COULD DO THIS!"

     Mokuba is laughing like a madman all the while.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    The electrical energy slashes through the catman, the prongs cutting into his skin and bleeding him. He just twitches for a few moments as the voltage shuts off his face mucles for a moment...

    But there's another surge of aether, and the catman howls. No words, nothing, just a kick to the face. Metal boot on kidface.

Seto Kaiba (623) has posed:
     Mokuba is kicked in the face hard. That metal boot bashes in his head, and his skull hits the ground behind him. What is left of his Duel Disk falls off his arms, and his deck scatters around the battlefield.

     He'll definitely live, but he is currently in a puddle of his own blood. Unconcious.

N'raha Tia has posed:
    And with that done, N'raha just plucks his axe out of the dirt, lifts it to the crowd... and stalks off towards medical. He's going to need it after this.

    What a little shit.
