>>5292865As Nox pummels away on Krillin’s turtle shell Ki shield, you notice Ledgic back in the ring again as well. And instead of attacking either of his foes, he flings down several metallic spears around them. As Nappa’s aura starts sparking up around him… you see Nox grin, and for the briefest moment, look at you. As if he’s… thanking you. Wait. WAIT WHAT?!
Nox’s next attack is fueled by Lightning Magic, and as he punches Krillin’s shield… he just keeps upping the intensity, until there are bolts of lightning flying everywhere. Including… hitting those metal spears stuck in the ground, which you realize weren’t just spears, they were snaking around the floor in a spiral pattern. Two metallic rings are formed around Nappa next. And with one further surge of energy…
“SON OF A-!” the you near mom exclaims.
“Language!” Chi-chi scolds.
“Right, right. Still, damn it… Nox copied and even modified that idea I had into something more! He turned the whole system into one big Tesla Coil!” You throw one of your hands out towards the ring for emphasis… and you manage to fire off the MP Buster!
“BLOODY HELL, WHO DID THAT?!” Sala exclaims. “Watch where you’re aimin’ ya daft c-!” Her mouth is hushed before she can let out some further expletives.
…
You guess it works!
The sheer excitement over finally getting it down is almost enough to dissipate the anger at being one-upped by Nox like that. You immediately try to experiment with this, thinking on the counters you could manage. Maybe a backfire, like Chiaotzu did with telekinesis? …No, can’t quite get that down. Oh oh oh, you could have a sort of passive “shell” that works like a barrier against the MP Buster. It can get hit, even look like you took damage, but not actually be connected to you! …And that’s sadly an idea that will take too much time to really flesh out, especially at this tournament. Okay. Keep these ideas in mind.
“NAPPA AND KRILLIN ARE UNABLE TO BATTLE! NOX AND LEDGIC ADVANCE TO THE NEXT ROUND!”
Well. There it is.
>A. Thank mom for the help. You really needed this>B. Check on Krillin and Nappa, they kinda went down hard>C. You should talk with dad and aunt Maple before the match starts. Definitely need to go over some things with them…>D. Something else?
