Sixteen Enters, One Leaves (For Tailsy125)

Across the multiverse survived a species of higher beings larger than any mortal mind can imagine; These Olympic personas thrive off of entertainment, and lately, they were starving. So, in order to quench their thirst, they'd tamper with the many realities of fiction; Placing characters where they didn't belong, creating holes in plots and altering stories.

Poor Cassandra Alexandra found herself victim to one of their little games; A tournament of sixteen fighters across the endless fictional medias, plucked from their home worlds and inserted into others. Of course, she had no idea she was a part of a game; All she knew was that she had woken up in a strange, foreign forest, one she had never seen before, with towering oak trees, distant mountains, and floral fungus strewn about.

"Ugh! What now?" She complained, standing up and brushing the dirt off of her outfit. Of course, in Gravity Falls, Oregon, weird is normal, but an armor-clad, sword-wielding young woman in a tight corset and revealing wear still didn't fit in. She groaned to herself uncomfortably, to be in such a strange place with no recollection of how she got there; Definitely a set back in her quest to find Soul Edge.

Her attention was soon pulled away by the feeling of scruffy little hands tugging at her leg. Directing her gaze towards the strange, small, bearded man pulling at her, she wasted no time with formalities, simply smirking cockily before yanking her leg back and out of his reach, and then launching the gnome far off into the woods with a strong kick. If being stuck here meant a pause in her voyage, she could at least use the time to train.

Wendy was on her lunch break and she decided to eat it in the woods next to the mystery shack. She sometimes comes out here to escape the chaos of the shop, even someone like her needs a few moments of peace. It’s weird, even though she knows this forest is filled with mystical creature some of which that want to kill her, it’s comforting and calm.

She pulls out her sandwich out of her paper bag and is just about to eat it before a gnome come flying at her face. She falls of the back of the log groaning in pain “ugh! What the hell dude? Can’t a girl get a break without weird stuff flying at her?” she brushes the dirt and leaves off her dark green flannel and puts her hat back on that fell off before she picks up the gnome by the scruff of his neck trying to scurry away “oh no you don’t, it’s about time I showed you guys a lesson or two”

she starts walking in the direction of where the gnome was thrown before she sees an ax stuck in a tree. “hope I don’t need this, but you never know. I’d better be safe then sorry” she places the gnome under her foot and yanks the ax out of it. As the ax comes flying out, she falls on her butt and quickly grabs the gnome again “you’re not getting away that easily!”.

She continues to walk breaking leaves under her boot before she sees either a really good cosplayer or dipper messing with video games…again. She whistles to get her attention “you know it’s rude to fling these guys at people, right?” she holds up the gnome “you wanna explain why you almost broke my nose with him?” she places a hand on her hip the ax still in hand.

Cassandra paced back and fourth in circles, wondering what to do with her current situation. Wanting a survey of the nearby landscape, she found a suitable heavy tree and began to climb, putting one foot to the lowest branch and scaling it fairly quickly, making it a third of the way up the tall oak before a voice called out and stopped her.

Giving one stray glance behind her, she caught sight of a young woman holding the gnome she had so nonchalantly discarded before. A perky eyebrow shot upwards, and Cassandra dropped from the tree, tufts of dirt spiking out from underneath her boots as she landed.

She looked the newcomer over; Her dress was definitely not like anything from where Cassandra was from, and covered much more of her body, for sure. But what mostly piqued Cassandra's interest was the axe in her hand; Already on edge from waking in a desolate location, her mind assumed the worst and another smirk crossed her expression.

"So I'm not alone out here, after-all! Who are you?" She asked, her tone oozing with confidence, before she waved with her hand to gesture towards this stranger not to bother answering. "Never-mind, don't care." Then, not giving Wendy time to react, Cassandra spun back around and tossed her sword, narrowly missing Wendy's face, pinning the hat of the gnome in her hand to the tree beside her. "Drop the axe and show me the way back home, or you'll have much more than a broken nose to worry about!"

[Bombay]

Yep, she’d gonna kill Dipper when she finds the little brat. He couldn’t have chosen a shark or something that would die on land? Now she needs to clean up his mess, she groans loudly as she sees the women hop out of the tree. She takes notice of the sword and shield in her hand. She really doesn’t want to fight this crazy chick, but she’ll do what she needs to.

She doesn’t like that smirk on her face, something is up and she plans to find out. Her eyes are locked on her sword giving her a cold glare. She holds tighter onto the Ax and the gnome. He whines out in pain, but she quickly shuts him up by whispering “shut it or I’ll use you as a shield”

Wendy quickly shook her head and was about to reply, before she was cut off. “and I thought Robby was a child, it seems someone else is more of a brat then him” she mumbles to herself. Suddenly a sword comes flying to her face. She braces for impact, but the sword just knocks off the gnome’s hat and gets stuck in a tree. He is screaming and crying as Wendy drops him. He scurries away as Wendy screams at the girl “Jesus! What the hell is your problem lady? You could have killed the little guy or worse me!”

she growls louder holding up the ax “there’s no way in hell that’s happening, not after what you just did. I don’t know where your home is, but I know Rumble was sent back to his game after we defeated Bill, maybe if I defeat you, you’ll go back. That or you’ll run away with your tail between your legs” She charges at her slashing the ax “I’m okay with either outcome!”

Rumble? Bill? Cassandra had no idea what the girl was going on about. Warriors she had fought before from whatever foreign land it is that she was in, she guessed. Either way, a challenge was obviously being made, and being a veteran fighter herself, the blonde had no problem taking it up.

Wendy was on her quickly, and with matching speed, the warrior spun backwards and dodged, holding her shield in front of her as she came to a stop. "Ooh! I could go for a fight right now!" She teased while the redhead dealt with the recoil of swinging a heavy weapon. "Give me a minute to get ready~." Turning around and swaying her hips with her, Cassandra pushed Wendy down to the ground with her backside, before flipping back and returning to recover her sword from the tree it had been left in.

[Bombay]

Wendy knows right from wrong and even if she has better stuff to do then kick this girl’s butt, she needs to protect her town and her family. Even if they may bicker, she still loves them. This girl clearly means a threat to everything she holds dear and, more importantly, she’s not taking any of her BS.

Wendy growls loudly as Casandra easily dodges her swipes. She may have a little skill, but Wendy beat a demon. There’s no way she can lose! “will you take this seriously? And no I’m not gonna give you a minute, this is a fight!” she replies as she pulls the ax back trying to get around this shield. She smiles brightly and aims for her legs, but this leaves her off balance. She easily tumbles to the ground because of her bottom and hisses “oh that is it, now I’m mad” she quickly recovers and sees that she has her sword back. “great, now I need to worry about two weapons” she mumbles to herself. She charges at her looking like she’s about to swipe up with the ax, before she slides on the ground hoping to trip her.

Yanking her sword from the tree, Cassandra back-flipped twice for extra effect to make it back to Wendy, for dramatic flair only. "You're out of your class, child, this is a warm-up!" She laughed, swiveling her sword in her hand as she approached.

Seeing Wendy charge towards her, Cassandra raised her shield in defense, prepared to take the blow, but was caught off-guard as Wendy slipped underneath her and knocked the warrior down to the ground. Yelping as she fell, Cassandra was weighed down by her armor and took long enough to get back up that Wendy was well-able to prepare her next move.

"...okay, good one. Using your best moves first, huh?" She grinned through obvious frustration.

[Bombay]

Wendy chuckles actually getting into it now “I can beat you without all your fancy back flips, that cockiness is going to be your demise little girl~” she made sure little girl stung. She honestly doesn’t know the other’s age, but she really doesn’t care. She knows the only way she can beat this warrior is to get inside her head and play the long game.

She smirks and hops up to her feet as she hears the loud thud behind her. “aw, what’s the matter little girl? I thought you would wipe the floor with me, you such are a great warrior”. Her sarcasm is sickening. she giggles and raises the ax “trust me, that’s not my best move. My best move is chopping you in half like a tree trunk” she brings it down aiming for the shield, she needs to get through her defense as soon as possible

"Hmph!" Cassandra pouted, countering the heavy blow from the axe with her trusty shield. The weapon bounced off, putting little more than a dent in her defense. Curling her legs up, Cassandra pushed Wendy back with her feet, before rolling backwards and reattaining her ground.

She laughed off Wendy's attempts to threaten her. "You think THAT'S a weapon? I've fought way bigger axes than that before!" Cassandra nagged, sticking her tongue out before hopping to her feet again.

Looking behind her, Cassandra flashed a cheeky grin, and ran up towards the closest tree, putting a small clearance between her and the ground before launching herself off the trunk, slinging her sword from her side in Wendy's direction, before rolling back down onto the ground and standing up beside her.

Having drawn her attention with the throw, Cassandra swung her hips out again, and bumped into Wendy with all her body strength to knock her off-balance. "I should've left my weapons at home, at this rate!" She snickered, before reclaiming her sword off the ground.

[Bombay]

She hisses as the ax is parried into the ground. she quickly pulls it out of the dirt and runs away as fast as she can, no way she’s going to be a sitting duck for a counter attack. She doesn’t care if she cares to flaunt everything with acrobatic skills, just makes her an easier target.

She replies with a smirk on her face “it’s not about the size, it’s how you use it!” she blushes deeply “wait…shit…that’s not right” she hisses “you know what I mean” good job Wendy, you’re letting her beat you at your own game.

She goes into a defensive stance when she sees her running towards a tree. The thick wood of the ax protecting her chest and the metal protecting her face. She yelps loudly seeing the sword shoot out from her side and quickly rolls to the side. She smirks “gotta be faster than that to hit m-“ she is cut of when she sees that she landed right next to her

“I would just like to state that I hate you” is all she gets to say before she is shoved to the ground. she groans in pain the ax falling out of her hand “believe me, I would have loved you to leave your weapon at home” she huffs as she stumbles back to her feet “why are you playing with your prey again? You could have beaten me by now” she asks sweat dripping from her brow. Suddenly an idea comes to mind. She starts running into the thick of the forest hopping over branches and zig-zagging off the path. She suddenly plants the ax in a tree about head level hoping to close-line her. she then hops behind a nearby bush to get the jump on her
