LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

[Gabranth]

Gabranth would hear. "Judge Magister, I would suggest you lower the testosterone output for just a little while, and let mommy handle this." Taking this as an opportune time to back away from Hades ominous presence, and put a bit of distance between them.

Slowly backing away so not to lose his stance, he helped Hercules back away as well. Once enough distance had been made for an open attack, he stood up swords to his side. He was awaiting for what Maleficent was planning.

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700] As if magic, the moment Maleficent stepped into the battlefield, her attack dissipated into nothing, as if plasma was never formed. There was no fire marks upon the marble floor, nor anywhere else. The evidence was erased.

"Ugh. Fight, don't fight-- make up yer' minds will you?!" She landed in front of the Judge, poking his chest plate before walking to where Maleficent was, "Lucky punk." she was acting now as a bodyguard if one of the goody-two shoes started acting frisky. I mean, not like she could go unpaid NOW out of all times!

She turned in place, once aside of the Dark Queen, and crossed her arms, holding her ground with a sword in hand, it's blade facing downward. [/glow]

[MeadowSong]

[glow=purple,2,300]"That is right, Your honor," said Maleficent, emphasizing "your honor" with a hint of condescension. She nodded knowingly at Hercules, and smirked. "That's a good pup. Now," she turned the firgure enclosed in her robes to face outward and removed her sleeve from the woman's face. It was Megara!

"I believe, oh great Demigod, that she...is yours." She cackled, and held the struggling girl tight, her nails digging into the younger woman's flesh. The murder high above, led by Diablo, swooped down and began circling the Mistress, her captor and apprentice, as if to be a shield. Diablo returned to her shoulder.

"Now Hades," she said, turning her attention to the God of Death. "I will take Jafar now, if you don't mind. And," with a snap-crack of her sceptre meeting arena stone, Kefka appeared at her side. "I grow tired of having to recruit my allies over and over, through means of your system. I hereby challenge you, Lord of The Underworld, to a Clash of the Titans. You will face off against my servant Kefka, here. Judge Magister, you may settle things once you have finished. You will be the referee." She glared him down, knowing that he'd be wise to play fairly, what with the things she could do to him.

"What say you, Hades? Either hand over your position this instant, and I'll kill Hercules myself, or face off against a psychotic clown."[/glow]

***From Let's See Some More of that Cataclysmic Power, in Cosmos***

[glow=yellow,2,300]Kefka appeared beside Maleficent on her left, while Shego stood on her right. He entered with his signature cackle, and danced around in place while the queen spoke. When she told Hades that Kefka might be able to face off another god for ownership of a domain.

"Excellent! Destruction is not long for this world, just you wait!"[/glow]

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700]She twitched a little at the sudden clown's appearance, even worse when he began to speak. Something about him made the hairs at the back of her neck stand on end. The thief did not like him one bit. She began to questions Maleficent's recruitment strategy.

'This guy ain't right...' she thought to herself, eyeing Kefka carefully. Everything about this guy, the way he moved, the vibe he gave, even the way he dressed made Shego think what everyone close to him, if anyone, thought, '....he's insane!' [/glow]

[kefka]

[glow=Yellow,2,300]Out of nowhere, Kefka summoned eight of his Heartless, two for each of the the four elemental energies. They began dancing around the group of three, similar to the murder flying in circles.

When he noticed that Shego had been taking peeks, he cocked his head inward, and grinned. "Oh-ho-ho! You're looking a little green there, girlie! Mayhaps a bit of pumpkin juice'll cheer you up!?" He manifested a glass in his hand with a strangely putrid-looking liquid. He fumbled with it a bit and walked it over, but slightly lost his balance, dropping the drink. It fell and smashed to the ground, shattering into a thousand pieces. The liquid began eating through the stone, corroding it like acid. Smoke rose only slightly, and he chuckled.

"Oops...?" He grinned again and shrugged it off, walking back to the other side of the queen. "Be that way."[/glow]

[Shego]

[glow=green,2,700] The thief had to back away a little from the fumbling clown when he spilled the drink, only to look down, her eyes widening as the acid ate through the marble, "Watch it!" she growled, her hands tightening into fists. She was... spooked by the clown, even if he WAS on their team. She would keep her eyes on him, trying to control her anger... along with her unexpected fear.[/glow]

[kefka]

[glow=Yellow,2,300]"Come on, come on, come on! I'm growing bored! I wanna have some fun! Show me some destruction! Show me cataclysm!"

Kefka was growing impatient, and even Maleficent was getting annoyed, as well as a bit unnerved. She remained quiet, though, to hear from the others.[/glow]

[Gabranth]

Gabranth could see with a that with a raging God of Death, an injured demi-god that he needed for his overall goal, ALIVE preferably, a sadistic clown, and what could only be a lunatic of a woman for keeping said clown as a pet. This wasn't really how he saw things going. This was a dark and gloomy situation for our Judge.

Gabranth turning his head to the right, where Hercules stood grasping his shoulder. He thought to himself "It would be nice to have a good distraction at this point." He whispered to Hercules. "It seems this doesn't bod well for us. We need to run. I for one can not take all of them. Not to mention I have a bad feeling that clown wont play nice." He wondered what Hercules was thinking.

Gabranth could see Maleficent wasn't as sly as Hades. She had business to do, and was adamant about accomplishing them. He wondered what would happen as to antagonize the old bat, instead he asks why. "Maleficent! I have no ties to you. Your indiscretions with Hades are not my problems. Judge them yourself. I raised my blade not to you." Hoping this would remind her that his fight wasn't with her. Besides, If that sadistic clown was there to fight, who better than Hades! Maybe he'll take care of this nuisance.

[Lilith]

Lilith slowly walked up the stairs to the Colosseum with Lexia, treading carefully to avoid the light. for Lilith this was a very uncomfortable position the entire place was covered in light with barely and shadow, one wrong move and she was dead.
nevertheless she continued on heading into the Colosseum and finding a dark place.
"Lexia? could you find me a place to sit out of the light, please? this place makes me feel really uncomfortable"

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia looked around, finding a spot beside scoreboards. Apparently old, very old. When Sora was around. "Over there," she said, pointing to the spot. She walked over to it, still holding her hand, sitting down the the shade. "Once we find Miiaxra I'm sure she'll have something for you. Something that'll make you less sensitive to light so you aren't hurt as much, mmk?"

[Lilith]

Lilith sat down and watched the events in the arena unfold.

"is that even possible"

Lilith turned to Lexia as she lowered her parasol.

"I thought it was a curse vampires had to live with..."

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia shrugged. "She'll find a way, she's my big sister. She has a cure for like, everything. Sunburn, heartbreak, burns, anything."

[shortpostisshort]

[Lilith]

lilith was thinking about everything that happened. "she sounds good... whats going on down there?".

(yeah its hard to make long posts in a conversation)

[Leckseeuh]

Lexia shrugged again. "I'm not paying attention. I'm like a squirel." She giggled and looked at them, playing with a stray piece of string she pulled from her shirt.
