Looking up to the gods seeing that timer he would give them the finger as he walked back to his corner of the stage. Smiling and coming back to a warm embrace. "Heh, Zeta is ready I think. His controls are on point and his movement is fluid." Astral spoke as Jaimie picked him up while hugging him. He returned the embrace holding onto her.
"You just need to build a connection with him. You have spent less time programming his personality versus his capabilities. Where for Astrid it feels like you made a child then made the frame for it." Anders spoke up to Astral as Adam was sketching James and Angel who would be watching intently. Alexa would pop out and want to interject but be cut off.
"Astral help!" Astrid was screaming as she was being pulled into the stage, making him act instantly. She was being magnetically pulled by the gods into the stage. Astral saw the next two opponents. A cardboard box as big as a human and a man dressed in pinks and purples covered in candy. Weilding a giant candy cane. He was on course to impale Astrid who would turn to her attacker. Launching a punch straight down the candy cane shattering it making the shrapnel fire off in all directions. Astral at this point caught up and smiled. His paws were ready. Two seemingly fluid like objects floated from behind him. When he got there Astrid looked over to him. "Can I use Nyan for this?"
"Yes, lets show them who they fucked with." Astral pulled out his Murasama. Holstering at his waist. He now was back into his classical hoodie with his tight sweatpants to match. He would rush down the cardboard box and launch a flurry of punches at it. Landing one critical hit into it's gut. Crumpling the box inward. But it would snap downward in an attempt to snap off Astral's hand. Pulling back his hand in time he smiled and looked over to the other fight. Box Lee would try and fight Astral, but his wings would not allow it. Balling up and throwing a counter punch at every punch Box Lee threw.
"Oh I wonder if the robot was made with something sweet in mind. Because I'm getting a little low on sugar." the man would stand as he pulls out a giant lollipop.
"Then have a taste of this asshole." Astrid would pick up a piece of the candy cane from the ground and shove it into the mans mouth. Knocking the man back as a cat would crawl out of Astrid's bag relaxing along her shoulders. Astral would be snickering at her choice of words.
"Name's Candyland miss, it's a shame I have to kill you, you would have worked so hard on my candy farm." He would speak as three other candy clones would come out of him. A puzzled look came from Astrid as she got into a boxing stance similar to Ali. the four of them would all have different candy themed weapons. One had a liquorice rope, another had the lollipop hammer. The third held another candy cane staff, the fourth had a gumdrop mace. All four rushed her at once. She reacted very well. Launching herself forward she would slam a punch into the gumdrop one's face, dropping him. The cat held back the lollipop with its tail while the candy cane went for a hook of the legs. She jumped over it as the licorice man whipped her face, popping loose her new eye lens, she would bite the rope and pull the man over. Punching him into the gut slamming him into the ground before snapping the stem of the lollipop. She backed up a few steps as the two Candyland's swing candy canes at her.
Astral looked behind him and launched three punches at Box Lee's body. Knocking him back several feet as he floated back to the ground. His wings tapped his shoulder and pointed to Astrid and Candyland. There were now twenty four candyland's as Nyan was in sword form now. Astrid would be swinging her sword defending herself from any critical hits. The candy mostly just shattered when hitting her. "Astrid, switch!" She would put her one free hand in a thumbs up. Then they would swap spots with a flash of light. Astrid now would work on cutting down the box with her sword. Each slash she made would sever an arm or a leg. But it would always fold back into place. She was left befuddled and just played defensively while Astral had fun. "If you wanna hide your true body. I'd recommend not using that lollipop as your weapon." The clones all froze, he was tracking them. They all multiplied by ten, causing the arena to be flooded by two hundred and forty clones. Astral smiled. 'Alexa. Please track the main one. I want to enjoy myself a second.'
'Yes but why must you make me work?' She would respond while outlining the original in a red outline in his vision. The click of his katana was heard as he took to the sky with his wings propelling him upwards. He looked down and sliced into the middle of the pack creating a landing spot for him. He would stand in the center and start to slice each one that came at him. He would walk slowly towards the original Candyland. In a panic they would all rush him at once. His wings would reform into fists. Slamming down the ones behind him. Astral would have cleanly sliced the ones in front of him. Candyland fell over with Astral in front of him. "Sir have mercy on me." Astral would grab the man by the throat. As he made two thousand clones to swarm him.
With one stroke of his blade the man came down in two parts. "Ha, I don't show mercy to those who try and hurt me or my family." He would hand his sword to his wings to slice some of the clones as he summoned his sniper rifle. Astrid let Nyan become a cat again. With the main goal of being at Box Lee's feet. Astrid would be gong punch for punch with it. Neither really able to do anything to the other as the cardboard couldn't hurt the metal and the metal can't destroy the cardboard. With every time she punched it. She avoided the pinch due to them being arm or face shots. Some things flew past her ear as three bullets from Astral's rifle set Box Lee ablaze. Astrid looked back to Astral.
"You are a dipshit, what if you hit me instead!" She yelled at him. Walking over to help out with the clones that were left over and slowing down with each second.
"If I wanted to hit you, you wouldn't have realized." He spoke as his wings gave him back his sword. With Nyan walking along side Astrid, it morphed back into a sword and would be useful at killing the straggling clones. Each one would fall and turn into candy corn. After the last one was killed he laughed. "Heh, now this is a candyland." Astrid would just look to Astral in disappointment. Nyan would curl back up around Astrid's neck.
