Ultimate Crossover Tournament (for Estekapo)

Tatsu blinked awake to the sound of uproar and applause. Only a second previously, she was keeping to herself, in casual clothing and alone. Now, she was dressed fully in her armor and gear, her mask covering her face, with her sword sheathed by her hip. Confused out of her mind, but prepared, her hand drew to her hilt fast and equipped her sword as she observed her surroundings. She had been warped into some kind of auditorium, surrounded by faceless individuals who cheered and whistled at her appearance.

Breathing steadily, she held her sword out in front of her, swivelling in place as she surveyed the entirety of the colosseum. Looking down, she noticed a panel she stood on - presumably one she had been warped in with - and glanced across the arena to the other side, noticing a parallel platform to her own.

Somehow, despite knowing nothing previously, it became immediately clear what was expected of her. Katana’s opponent would be transported to their same location, they would fight, and the loser would be punished. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she awaited her competition.

Jennifer Walters better know as She-Hulk suddenly blinked out of confusion and her eyes traveled all over the place where she was standing and what was going on. Quickly she realized that she was wearing her usual white combat leotard with purple details on the sides, when she was attending to a court meeting and was wearing her usual black suit and skirt, however the sound of cheers and applauses from the thousands of people that were on what could be clearly seen was a big coliseum took her attention, quickly got her attention.

The tall green amazon was smart enough to realize that not only she had been teleported very far away from the court but also she has been teleported out of her universe, to some kind of arena where Jennifer knew pretty well she would have to prove her skills and power fighting against the woman that was standing in a plat form across the battleground, who by the chants of the fans that begin to support their favorite warrior could guess her name was Katana.

Taking a look at the woman that was looking at her with cold eyes, Jennifer could see that her opponent looked like a simple human, but a very dangerous one that she should be careful as she noticed how she held her sword in a professional way and her breaths were controlled waiting for her, but also couldn’t help but find funny how well her name matched with her style as her master weapon was a sword.

As much she would have liked to ask her future opponent some questions and maybe have a nice talk, Jennifer noticed by the roar of the fans that they will not only waiting to see the fight but also see someone win and most importantly see someone lose, and she wasn’t thrilled to find what will happen in that scenario with her so she decided to get ready cracking her knuckles and neck getting ready for what it will surely be an intense fight.

With a great flash of light, Katana’s question was answered as her opponent rose up, and stared around with the same suspicious confusion she herself had had. The wind blew through her messy black hair and short-cut jacket as the She-Hulk eyed her down. Both women exchanged glances, knowing full well why they were here. Katana’s eyes narrowed. Though she had expected a warrior, she was assuming it’d be one of her size, stature, and weaponry - this woman was a titanic beast, only resembling a human by her shape. One that Katana had far too well of an idea of, given the nature of her outfit. It took her a moment of clarity just to understand what she was looking at… some kind of crossbreed between a Jinn and a Succubus.

Though the momentary surprise had her squinting with concern, she shook it off not long after. Killer Croc and the larger members of the Suicide Squad had been feisty before, and she had had little trouble putting them down. This big, dumb brute would be no match for her once she got the higher ground. “あなたは誰?” She asked, watching the expression on her face. “Who are you?” She added after.

The audience settled down, most who were standing sitting in their seats as the sky above them darkened. Then, with no warning, the environment shifted completely. Katana looked around her with uneasy apprehensiveness as buildings emerged from the ground, most torn to shreds, with broken windows and exposed support beams.

By the look the woman was giving her Jennifer could tell that she was studying her just as she was doing with her. The wind carefully played with her long dark hair as her green pupils locked with the cold ones of the woman who now know responded by the name Katana, and she could tell she was hiding very well a small surprise to found her as her opponent, which she didn’t blame her for.

As a minute pass by like a hour, Jennifer could see some sadness and most of all anger in that woman, which told her how dangerous she could actually be, it remind her somewhat to Frank Castel. Suddenly those toughs were quickly snapped as she heard Katana talk to her in what it seemed to be Japanese “Uh?” She muttered with a face that expressed confusion before she talked to her in English “Oh, great you can speak English too, hello I’m Jennifer Walters a first class lawyer, but I’m better known as She Hulk like these people do. And by their chants I can see they known you as Katana”

Suddenly her introduction was cut out as the audiences settle down and the sky turn dark as the environment quickly changed. Many destroyed buildings came out from the ground as some destroyed and abandoned cars and trucks emerged with them, till after a minute all what Jennifer saw was a destroyed and abandoned city.

A demon that spoke English. Exquisite.

Not that that mattered to Tatsu, Succubuses were always rumored to be masters of every tongue. She resheathed her sword, taking the first step down and off of her platform, while the disheveled environment continued to form around her. Flaming cars with crushed hoods, debris and chunks of the sidewalk torn out, potholes riddling the roads; the environment resembled a fierce familiarity to cancelled doomsdays of the past. Still, Tatsu showed no fear as she advanced forward, her silence doing more talking than her words did.

After closing about half the distance between her and Jennifer, she stopped to speak again. “I am Katana.” She muttered, under a distrusting, harsh breath. “I am NOT so easily fooled, ‘She-Hulk,’ what are you really? Some kind of 鬼.”

With an unimpressed glare following her native tongue, Katana added “Ogre.” afterwards, in case Jennifer didn’t understand that either.

[Estekapo]

Just as Katana, Jennifer observed her surroundings looking at what it clearly was an apocalyptic city with no souls or sign of life. Jennifer was no estrange, when it came to fight in cities, most of them had people living in that made her work of fighting a bad guy more harder since they could been take as hostages or could distract her as they could be into pretty dangerous situation, so in a way this new scenario to fight was already a good advantage for her.

Her toughs of the surrounded quickly went to a second place in her mind as she could see the Asian warrior opponent approaching to her in a very silently, cold and fearless way. There was no doubt she would be a very dangerous opponent.

Jennifer remained with a serious expression on her face as her future opponent introduce herself and demanded to know what was she, something she didn’t dare to answer yet since she couldn’t understand that last part. That at least after Katana mentioned the world ogre which made one of her eyes twitch just a bit.

Even if she was a famous lawyer and a recognized super hero, just like her cousin, She-Hulk was seen as a monster to other cultures that didn’t know about her existence when she did some mission near there, and that actually offended her pretty much.

“I understand you may think of me like that due to my skin and my height, but I can assure you Katana, I’m not a ogre, I may be destined to be like this forever but I was born as a human and even like this my continence and ways to be is the one of a human. Like I told you before I’m a very famous lawyer” She-Hulk said with a firm but calm voice.

Katana’s head cocked off to the side. Her eyes narrowed coldly, staring down She-Hulk as if judging her soul itself. Within moments of having discarded it, her hand returned back to her hilt, ready to strike if needed. Again, she spoke no words, only moving forward as she approached Jennifer’s podium. The city whistled quietly as the current blew through it’s many metal scrap holes and broken windows. Shards of glass and stone brushed aside Tatsu’s leather boots. She stopped again.

“A lawyer? You dress like a brothel worker. You insult me.” She spat back, her words hardened and gritty. “I have fought with your kind - Onis - countless times before. And if I have been brought here today to defeat you, then I will do what I have to.” Her hand flew back to her blade and equipped it, swinging the sword up and through the air, swivelling a few times before it rested behind her.

“Tell me, ‘lawyer.’” Katana harshly emphasized her title, with a tone that reeked of sarcasm. “Do you fight with words? Or fists?”

[Estekapo]

If looks could kill Katana would have already killed thousands of people by the look she was giving to Jennifer, however she wasn't any kind of people, much less an ordinary human, she was as extraordinary as a lawyer as she was as She-Hulk when it comes to save people. But it seemed that this woman wasn’t willing to acknowledge this as once more used very hurtful things.

Jennifer resisted the urge to close her eyes to calm her anger from those words, since she realized that it could be a mistake to give the woman who was very close to her podium a chance to attack her, so instead just looked at her with annoyed eyes as she swung her sword, giving Jennifer a small example of what Katana could do with it.

Not satisfied to call her an ogre and a brothel worker, this woman actually dared to mock her with sarcasm; this woman really is a daredevil to insult her like that. “As a LAWYER, I use my words to defend the innocents and punish the criminals; I also use my punches when the life of the people hangs in a balance. However I also use my punches when bad people make me really angry, and let me tell you, you don’t want to find out what happen when I’m angry” She-Hulk said with a slight dose of venom in her voice.

Everything Jennifer said fell on ears that weren’t interested in listening. While Tatsu had had her run-ins with many mutants in the past, they were never heroes, and definitely not civilized lawyers. All she saw this as was a demon in disguise attempting to convince her she was something else.

“‘Bad people.’” Katana spit back. “A hypocrite as much as you are a monster. Enough words.” She began to advance upon Jennifer now, with more speed than before, her short steps soon turning into a faster walk. “My sword will steal your soul and ensure you never hurt anyone again!” She promised, skidding to a brief stop in her approach, where she then bounced off of the ground and wide into the air.

Katana flew elegantly above Jennifer, an insanely high leap that took her over She-Hulk’s head as she spun whilst in mid-air, the beating sun behind her blocking the view of any who dared look from below. Almost in slow motion, she landed on two feet behind the lumbering heroine, and drew her sword, ready to strike.

[Estekapo]

The anger inside Jennifer began to boil, like hot water. She was getting sick and tired of the constant insults she was receiving from the Katana, however unlike her cousin she wasn't willing to lose her cool yet, and she needed to be focused against this dangerous woman.

"The only one who will end up being hurt is you" She Hulk said as she put her fists in front of her chest like a boxer "Time to teach you some respect". Jennifer wouldn't ever though Katana would do a jump with such grace, but most of all she never thought that she would have fall in her trap as she was blinded by the sun. Luckily her ears managed to heard the small sound of the sword cutting the air as Katana drew it with killing intentions, so jumped out of the way just in time to prevent a fatal wound, but not fast enough to prevent a cut on her rib.

The jump she made left her in safe distance of the sword woman, and gave her enough time to see the cut. It wasn't deep or bad in any way, but show her how powerful Katana was with her sword and that elevated her level of anger in her body.

"My turn" She-Hulk muttered as she picked a destroyed car like it weighted nothing and throw it towards Katana with force so the vehicle traveled at a fast speed.
