Which won't kill him, as per the rules, but he'll simply become a part of you. And when the tournament's over, and everyone else's eliminated, you'll spit him back up off the stage. “But now you'll be-!”
And right as you're about to devour him, suddenly a powerful blow lands straight in your guts, AGAIN! Causing you to gasp in pain at the much-stronger blow, dropping Cooler and staggering back, clutching your guts as you see his brother, now also gilded has joined the fray as well. As you take a moment to adjust, the little brother helps the taller one, breaking free of your paralysis after a few seconds. You lowering your hands from your guts, smirking as you raise your head up towards the newcomer. Who, unmistakably is stronger than his brother. And you can <span class="mu-i">taste</span> that he's holding back, there's something more to his power. And, even better, he doesn't seem able to shield himself from your energy draining, feeling his energy begin to flow into you.
“Well well. Looks like another appetizer has come to offer itself to me.” you say, grinning.
“Appetizer? Ohhhh hoo hoo hoo hoo hoooh! You could barely best my brother with a cheap trick!” he taunts, spreading his arms wide in quite the arrogant stance, while Cooler posts up behind him, fists clenched and ready for battle. However, as you watch, suddenly you feel your ability to drain this one's energy disappearing as well, as coldness radiates from them both now and not just the taller one. What the hell is he doing, how is he making himself and now others immune to your slow energy draining? You MUST figure this out! “But now you face the full might of the Cold brothers, the true rulers of the Seventh Universe!”
As you stare the brothers down, back to the edge of the arena, you have to figure out what he's doing and how to best it. Else, this could prove troublesome. If he's just as skilled as his taller brother, or worse they're USED to fighting in sync, this could be a problem. You might have to escape this team-up and wait for a better chance to more actively start taking peoples' energy. Ones not under the effects of whatever it is Cooler is doing.
