	"You missed her," Usagi said pointedly. The cat seemed disappointed, but also pleased at the same time? When Diana wasn't giving active instructions, she'd notice that Calamity Ganon seemed to move on his own as well - the great flaming axe was swung at Leah, but it was a direct miss. "If you want to scream at them to not be losers, there's an intercomm button here," Usagi added, pointing towards a big red button. 

[@Blizz][@Forsythe][@BlueSky44]:

	Arcade was silent in his hiding place at the edge of the arena, considering that Vicky said. She was right though - Zari [i]was[/i] a god in this arena. And that wasn't fair. They needed some sort of way to disconnect her from her powers... but what sort of cocktail worked on a demigod? He made a mental note to look more into Thor's weaknesses later - maybe there was some sort of Asgardian kryptonite they could use. 

	Finally, Arcade spoke. He didn't move from his hiding spot, knowing Vicky was well aware of where he was and could hear him too from this distance. "I do, yeah - but I need your suit to interface with the Framework. I don't have any tech on me," Arcade admitted. "I know this place better than anyone else... Spent all summer sneaking up here to use it... But I'm useless without a way to interface."

	There was, of course, another problem with Vicky's goal to take over the Master Hand. The Master Hand was gone, glitching out of existence. A strange entity took its place.

Arcade [i]loved[/i] that game. But to defeat Ganon, they needed... there!

	Jammed into the ground in a forgotten portion of the arena, like a sword in the stone, was the Master Sword. The Sword that seals the Darkness. If they didn't get that, they'd be toast. He hesitated, looking at the others, before Arcade made a sprint for the sword. There were a bunch of koroks as well on the battlefield, floating and bopping around, as Calamity Ganon swung its fiery axe at Leah this time. Its aim was wide and it missed terribly.  

[hider=HP]Leah: ❤️❤️
Zari: ❤️❤️❤️

[hider=Uniform Trim Colors]You can choose what variation of the uniform your character is in - i.e., pants or skirt or shorts. The top is going to be a plain white button up with a tie. In the winter months, people will put on an academy blazer or sweater on top, but it's likely way too warm for that right now. We're heavily drawing inspiration from [url=https://speedcosplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/H7b239b38ba7e436cb76706f75a92e50bX.jpg]the Umbrella Academy uniforms[/url]. 

Green: Diana & Zelda 
Purple: Mary Sue, Ardere, Sabine, Leah
Blue: Andy, Chi Mai, Zari, Vicky 
Red: Percy, Teddy, Dorian, Danni, Mads, April [/hider]

[hr][hr][/center]	April beamed, returning Mads' hug. Tears pricked in the corners of her eyes. She hadn't realized how much she needed that. Her love language was physical touch - and in that moment, she felt loved. Platonically, of course. She blinked back her tears, letting go of Mads. And while she was excited to see Mads performing magic, April couldn't help but feel... disappointed. It wasn't really flashy. More fine tuning of her control was great and all, but where was the pizazz? The flare? The drama? 	

	[color=42A9FF]"Hmm, I feel like we should try to spice things up a bit - like, this is totally cool, and you're totally wicked cool, but like... I think we could put on more of a show?"[/color] April suggested, hoping Mads wasn't too pissed. [color=42A9FF]"Like... Like we should have an Elsa in her ice castle sort of moment. Ooo, wait! Do you think we could make [i]clothes[/i] out of water together, combining your powers with mine? Our own runway couture?"[/color] April added, her eyes sparkling. Maybe Mads' spell was enough to give her the fine control to make that happen, but April didn't think she could make the water turn to actual threads. 

	She snuck a glance over at Andy and Mary Sue. It didn't seem like they had anything to show for yet. April couldn't help but smile a bit smugly. She loved to win. She didn't often admit it, but she was competitive. She wanted to [i]crush[/i] them in this not-contest.

[hr][hr][/center]	Percy found himself suddenly dragged up to his feet, by virtue of Sabine standing up. Those ropes were [i]really[/i] starting to get frustrating. The movement made him feel dizzy and dazed, the world rotating rapidly around him. Usually, he felt better after he had puked. But right now.... he felt sorta the same. He nodded though, trying to focus on Sabine's voice even though she felt so distant. 

	[color=ed1c24]"The fucking assholes threw us back after we already finished!"[/color] Percy shouted. It wasn't a lie. They [i]had[/i] finished all of the obstacles. Dorian Gray had just made sure to force them majorly behind, and in the process, had clearly done [i]something[/i] to make Percy violently ill. There was silence for a moment, before the next thing he knew, a door in the wall opened up. Ser Nemo stood behind it in. In the distance, Percy could see Firestar and his roommate. What were [i]they[/i] doing here?

	Ser Nemo wrinkled his nose. "Oh, my..." he said, taking in the state of the two of them. "Perhaps the reward should have been a visit to the dry cleaner's - rather than [i]pizza[/i]," Nemo commented. "At any rate, congratulations are in order. And a trip to the shower. There should be spare uniforms for both of you to change into." 

	Ser Nemo cut the rope connecting the two of them, and Percy collapsed to the ground, his knees giving out. 

	"Oh! Dear me, I almost forgot. I am sorry, Mr. Novikov. My presence can have this sort of effect on those with similar powers to mine. Here, take these," he said producing a pill bottle from his pocket, and handing them to Percy. The pills looked completely ordinary. There was a label on the bottle indicating it was approved by the TVA. "One a day, taken with or without food." 

	Percy caught the bottle. He barely had the focus in him to glare at Ser Nemo. Or really the conscious mind to protest to being given a pill by a basically a stranger. His fingers mechanically opened up the bottle, and he downed a pill. Like most meds, there weren't any immediate effects. 

	Instead, Percy laid his head back and closed his eyes. [color=ed1c24]"We fucking won. Yay,"[/color] he mumbled. 

[hider=Obstacle Course]The obstacle course is identical for both groups. There are four stages to this course. 

Stage 1: A sheer drop separates you from the rest of the course. The expanse is about 20 feet in length. In the middle, there is a small canoe tied to a rope. The canoe is approximately 7 feet in length. 

Stage 2: There is a wall that you must scale. It is covered in sharp, pointy thorns. The wall is 30 feet tall. No climbing equipment has been provided, but there seem to be handholds behind the thorns, if you could reach them. 

Stage 3: There is a table with a small red box, and three photographs. The photographs are of three men, labeled Sinister, Malcom, and Benjamin. There are three doors in front of you. Inside the red box, there is a tooth. Behind two doors are monsters you must fight. Only one door is clear. Identify the owner of the tooth and use that information to pick the correct door. 

Stage 4: The final stage. There is again a table in this room. On the table is a bomb. Disarm it. If you do not disarm it, it will explode. [/hider]
