“I love my people! I love my world! I love my universe! And I will not allow it to fall!” he declares, posing with each sentence. “I, the Hero of Justice, Toppo, will not fall! I must defeat you!”
“Very well. Shows't me thine resolve, portly one. Have at thee!” you roar, the two of you clashing once more. The two of you trade blows, his giant fists packing considerable power. But you fight smartly, keeping defensively responsible and blocking his strikes. Withstanding his blows and countering with strikes of your own. However, just as you both are building up to a good rhythm, suddenly a blinding light goes off from atop the central pillar. You both hesitate, sparing a glance to see a trio of women transforming. Leaving them to it, you and Toppo resume your fight. For a minute, then two, the two of you clash. But as you fight, Toppo begins losing ground. You driving him back towards the edge of the ring, until he's standing right on the edge. “Thou hast fought well, Toppo. But this fight is over.”
Drawing your right back, ready to send him over the edge, suddenly something wraps around your right forearm. Grabbing you and stopping your strike!
“Hmm?” you ponder, looking over to see some sort of sparkling threads wrapped around your arm, following them back to see another of Toppo's allies, dressed identically has conjured the strings from his fingers.
“Toppo, get clear!” he shouts as another one, an orange dinosaur-looking one shoots a beam of energy around your legs, binding them in place as well. “We'll handle this one!”
“No, stay back Kunshi, Vuon! Neither of you can-!” Toppo shouts, trying to save them. But it's too late, as you turn your gaze upon them. Eyes glowing with crackling electricity.
“BEGONE KNAVES!” you roar, unleashing a burst of lightning. Which travels through the path of least resistance, which is up the energies binding you and into the bodies of those who would have interfered.
“GUUUUAAAAAH!”
“KRYAAAAAAAH!”
The cowardly interfering creatures scream in pain as their bodies are flooded with electricity, ending their binding attacks as they collapse to the ground, twitching and spasming.
“Serves thou right for interfering in mine duel.” you say disdainfully, but as you turn back to Toppo again, suddenly a sphere of pink energy envelops you. “What sorcery is this?”
