Round 2 Match 4: @em-sta vs. @shinyspooks
Writer: @dannyphandump
“Oh look, it’s the winner of the bake-off round,” Tali said as the next two phighters entered the ring.
“Bake-off?” Technus scoffed. “You could have a bake-off, but no video game tournament?”
“I think one of the rounds was a video game tournament, kind of. Pretty sure there was Mario Kart involved. Which personally victimized Nick somehow.”
“F,” Technus said.
“F,” Danny agreed automatically, before realizing what he was doing.
“Anyway! First up in Match 4, from the Far Frozen, she’s a kindred spirit with good taste in instruments: it’s Em-sta!”
Em-sta dooted her kazoo as she waved to the cheering crowd.
“Oh no, there’s another one.” Danny groaned, but Tali just laughed.
“And her opponent from the Temporal Domain, bringing her Time Scarf and airpods back into the ring: It’s Shinyspooks, aka Lyna!”
Lyna threw her scarf over her shoulder with a flourish.
“PHIGHT!”
“GET ‘EM!” Lyna said. Get-em. Get Em. Because she was getting Em… Tali laughed too much at their own incredibly stupid pun.
The time scarf obeyed the command, unfurling to wrap around Em’s neck.
“No!” She pulled at the soft fabric as the colors around began to fade to black and white. Because that’s what happens when you get sent back in time, obviously.
But Em still had one trick left up her sleeve. She managed to raise her kazoo to her lips.
Every Time We Touch buzzed from the tiny instrument. Sparks flew from Lyna’s airpods.
“But… but that’s my song!” Lyna wailed.
“Not anymore!” Em cackled as the scarf loosened. Color bled back into the stadium.
The airpods exploded, bathing Lyna in smoke that knocked her unconscious.
Em dooted her kazoo at the same time Tali did to end the match.
“Shinyspooks is unable to battle! Em-sta wins!”
