— fearsome collective had all set eager sights on two particular teams— both of which in separate brackets— but it’s not like they’d go easy on these guys, either. Though the reasons driving him were closer to pride, Marvelous was right when he said that they wouldn’t lose. —

— 〝 I’m Jin Mo-Ri. 〞 Started-he, omitting all titles of Kingship, as well as his status as the Supreme Deity, in order to instead present the pastel-colored majin with an introductory wave of his hand, before challenging him to come, and make the first move with —

— a second hand motion to boot, this one crafting the aforementioned message; ‘ Come here, ‘ and … 〝 Show me what you’ve got ! 〞 [ #POWEREDTOURNEY x #MBA2 x #ARENAEIGHT ]

Dark eyes watched vigilantly as each of his teammates paired off with whomever they decided to, leaving Tsukasa with the oddly dressed being with a tail (which definitely seemed better than whatever that pink being was). A single digit extended towards @FusedSxng, then curled——

——backwards, motioning for the fusion to approach and to initiate battle. #POWEREDTOURNEY

“Hmm…” Raising a digit upwards, the Kamen Rider lightly scratched at the tip of his nose. There’d been an itch there for a while and it absolutely needed to be alleviated. There’s a certain dispassion for having to deal with the type of people that act unnecessarily cocky, no—

——matter the situation. There was no need to boost his ego any further by playing into any theatrics that might’ve been planned. “No thanks. You can have it.” #FORTHECLOUT X #POWEREDTOURNEY

MARVELOUS. Tien's attempt to gain some time from the other's attacks hadn't turned into a success, but it wasn't a complete fail either. He managed to get back into a defensive stance, so that was something. As for the other's attack, the Triclops rapidly moved his forearm up, using it —

MARVELOUS. — to protect his vital areas from the kick. ( 𝘉𝘖𝘔𝘍 ) He couldn't notice the second kick in time, so he rapidly moved his shoulder to his opponent's foot: it did some damage, but again he made sure not to hurt his vitals. But, the third attack —

MARVELOUS. — of the other's was totally unexpected! Tenshinhan's hands moved as fast as possible, opening right where the kick was aimed at: his abdomen. ( 𝘛𝘊𝘏—𝘒 ) Although he was pushed back by the attack, Tien managed to grip onto his opponent's ankles, swinging him around and —

MARVELOUS. — throwing him away. ( 𝗪𝗢𝗢𝗦𝗛❕) Exploiting the opportunity, Tien would throw a stray energy blast right at the other's face. Had it gotten him off guard, the blast would've pushed him even further away. #𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘛𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺

Having the awareness to dodge once the fusion’s palm was directed his way, Tsukasa’s torso ducked inwards, leaning towards Gogeta’s left in order to cause the blast to soar over his shoulder. From this position, the incoming elbow would harmlessly soar over his head. Before——

——Gogeta had time to retract his arm and transition into another attack, the Rider’s open palm rocketed upwards to aim a devastating blow to the very tip of the fusion’s chin. Carrying both the force of his body’s upwards momentum and weight, connecting with this would not only——

——cause his opponent’s head to violently jerk backwards, but it would force a discombobulated feeling to take over his senses. This, of course, ranged from short-lasting dizziness to full on unconsciousness. Aiming to capitalize off this potential opening would lead to Tsukasa——

——to opening up an Aurora Curtain (a dimensional wall that can be used to transport beings to different times, universes, etc). Upon engulfing the two combatants, this would transport them near the edge of the stage so that eliminating Gogeta via ring out would be a much more——

——viable strategy. Which he would promptly attempt to do. While still within close proximity, a foot was planted against Gogeta’s abdomen and strength was put into the corresponding leg to push the opponent off balance and teetering towards the edge of the stage. His aim was——

——to make this fight end as quickly as possible, rather than to waste energy fighting just one man. #FORTHECLOUT X #POWEREDTOURNEY

Being a Gokaiger is serious buisness.
