A planet sized (as it was indeed once a planet) arena complex, the perfect place to to practice your old fighting techniques and maybe pick up a few new ones... It holds practically everything you could possibly need and more. If there is lack of a sparring partner, drones, artificial lifeforms and creatures of varying strengths will be provided.* If you die here you will instantly be resurrected in a safe location. Any physical limitations like fuel, ammo, hunger, sleep etc. are negated in this thread. Unlimited everything. Characters that are drastically changed in canon threads may disappear suddenly in this thread to start over in a new battle to reflect the changes. This thread may be referenced in canon threads but only in terms of an odd sensation of having fought something before.
*Just because these are provided does not mean that you can close off all interaction with other players, keep it open. ((You can control your own NPCs but as above keep yourself open to interaction))

A portal opens up and Zelth falls through, landing rather heavily on the ground. "Ow..." Zelth gets up rubbing her side. A couple of seconds later Nova follows hitting the ground with a metallic clang.
"Where are we?" Nova says as she lifts herself up running a quick systems check as she does so.
"I have no idea... it looks like the entrance of an arena."
"That would be correct." A hologram of a male alien suited up in armored battle gear flickers into view in front of them. "Welcome, I hope you're prepared for the battle of your life, if not we have all the equipment you could ever need. Will you fight along side your fellow combatants? Or destroy them all in an epic battle for supremacy?" Noticing the very confused look on the irken's face he begins to explain. "We broadcast all matches across the universe. It's your choice of what battle you join, you can add new opponents or team mates as they're brought in if you like. You won't need to rest or eat here and the battles only end if you die. You'll get to re-enter once you've seen your score chart. Fight hard and make sure you die, the fans love it."
"I'd rather leave. I have important work to be doing."
"How unsporting. You don't need to worry about that we're in our own bubble of space and time here. You can't leave anyway, as you're technically not really here. Best you don't think about that too much, we wouldn't want to hurt your brain... LET THE BATTLES COMMENCE!"
"Wait I didn't choose anything!"
The hologram had already gone but it's voice remained this time sounding a little too cheerful. "Oh I'm sorry but choosing to leave auto enters you into a match. Have fun!"
A pale green flash fills the area and the two of them are transported a room in which a 30 foot tall creature resembling an obese dragon with no wings waits. The creature roars and stomps a couple of times before centering it's attention on Zelth and Nova.
"Oh my..." Zelth's antennae droop and her eyes widen, she just about manages to pull herself together in time to activate her pak legs and leap aside as it charges forward. Nova leaps up into flight.
The creature rams head first into a wall.
"PRESENT!" The hologram's voice bellows. A full set of irken battle armor appears right in front of Zelth.
"I guess I'll have to ask for anything else?"
"Yep. Now get yourself sorted while it's still dazed."
Zelth quickly puts on the armor, checking the status of the creature she extends the plasma cannon from her pak ready.
The creature still a little dazed turns around trying to find it's target.
Nova hovers above attempting to analyze the creature.
"What are you doing Nova?! Fight the damn thing!" Zelth fires off a few shots at it as she dodges it's next charge. All of the shots miss.
The creature keeps running until it hits the wall.
"The creature has three weak points, it's tail, it's neck just below the jaw and the back of it's head. It also appears to be unable to stop in it's charge unless it hits something."
"Good work Nova, now let's just keep ourselves out of it's way... I really hope more combatants show up soon, I don't think we have the firepower to hand to take it down alone." Zelth starts to fire at it's tail while Nova extends her laser cannon and fires at the back of it's head...
((The hologram is an NPC btw, it doesn't have to have the same persona or even the same form.))

A portal opens and a mercenary Archon glides through to notice an arena. "Okay, is this place just for show or can I get some entertainment," Pyria asks out loud.
"We currently have a battle against a dragon running at the moment or you can be sent to another area. Unfortunately, fighting is required before you will be allowed to leave," a voice says in reply.
"Any restrictions on that dragon fight?" Pyria asks the mystery voice with a chuckle.
"Nope. Good luck," the voice replies with a slightly sinister tone as Pyria is transported into the battle.
Looking around to evaluate the battlefield, Pyria notices a pair of combatants flanking the dragon while doing no real damage with their weapons. Taking advantage of the way the dragon is relatively immobile, she leaps into the air above before falling into a flame wreathed dropkick aimed at the dragon's spinal cord. Just to further improve aim, Pyria uses her power over flame to create twin pillars of white hot flame on either side of the dragon.

The shots fired by Zelth are absorbed by the creature's scales, while Nova's laser barely even tickles the creature. Zelth detects another pale green flash from somewhere behind her. "I hope that's help coming not more trouble..." She momentarily stops firing as the newcomer dives down in a blur of flames and holds the creature in place.
"It seems your wish has been granted Mistress."
With the additional assistance Zelth takes a little more time to line up a shot between the tail scales and fires.
The flesh of the creature faintly glows where the round hit. The creature roars and suddenly increases in size, thankfully only a little.
Zelth's jaw drops. "Ok, plasma is bad... I really wish I had my weapons stack here but that is back on the ship..." Zelth switches to her laser pistols and aims for the same gap in the scales still doing no real damage.

Looking around as the fight continues, Pyria starts to hope the fight will end soon. Hope proves frail however when a second wingless dragon appears and sends her flying into a wall with a flick of its tail. Impacting with a flash of flames, Pyria drops to the ground and starts sending fire clones at both dragons. Unfortunately, the clones can't really do anything except distract the dragons without risking the same size increase caused by the plasma weapons of the organic combatant.

"Shiiiiit!" Came a very loud male's voice as a rather large shadow appeared over one of the dragons... the figure casting it was a very quickly falling machine of some sort; flailing limbs and firing boosters in an attempt to right itself. Unfortunately, such a task would not be accomplished as it landed full-force on the back of reptile harassing the Archon. "Oof... I need to stop trusting mechanics... wait, where am I?" The machine queried, standing and extending it's battle-rifle's barrel from it's right arm, while the from the left wrist it ignited a sizable blade of energized particles. "... Dragons? Really? Was that mechanic a wizard? Had I the organs to be affected by such things, I'd think myself under the influence of hallucinogens.".

"Where did that other lizard come from?!" At that moment a large machine lands on top of it. "And that robot?" Momentarily distracted by the new arrivals Zelth gets hit into the wall by the tail of the other creature as it clumsily moves around distracted by the fire clones.
Dazed for a good few seconds Zelth regains her composure and has her pak legs scramble up the wall keeping herself out of reach. After watching the scene for a few minutes Zelth notices something about Nova. "How have you not ran out of fuel yet?"
"My fuel simply has not depleted." Nova keeps firing.
An idea suddenly springs into Zelth's mind... "What is wrong with me?! Why didn't I try this earlier?!" Zelth faceplams then powers up her electrical tech. "Let's see how you like a few thousand volts?..." She pushes herself off the wall with extreme force aiming to land on top of the distracted lizard.

Watching as one of the dragons is electrified, Pyria jumps in surprise when a portal of raw Data opens and spits an ovoid space shuttle at the second dragon. "This doesn't look like Earth. Where are we and why is there a dragon decorating the front of our hull," Ellie asks her companion as the shuttle smashes the dragon into the far wall of the room.
"No clue but we should probably help the people attacking the dragons," Ellementiamon replies as she generates a small hydro twister that slams into and soaks both of the dragons.

Zelth appears in another random section of the arena. Just out of view an old battle with another version of herself fades out of existence. "This place is odd, and I have a strange feeling I have been here before but I don't remember, but that's impossible my pak would have recorded all of this if I had..." Nova just looks at her confused as well. A hologram of a male irken in battle armour materialises to greet them. "Hey there, choose your opponent." A transparent display appears showing several silhouetted creatures each labelled according to difficulty. "This is an arena? I want some equipment." "Demanding aren't you?" With a click of his fingers Zelth finds herself suddenly in her armoured space suit. Zelth presses her whole hand onto the blacked out image of a medium sized creature. "Nice choice and at least you're willing to fight this time..." With a green flash the hologram and display vanish and Zelth with Nova are teleported to the creature's section of the arena. "What do you mean this time?!" Zelth receives no response from the hologram. Zelth turns around as something large breathes it's hot breath on the back of her neck. The creature snaps at her thankfully missing her as she leaps back and catches a sword handle as it ejects from her pak. Nova appears to have gone unnoticed by the creature and so begins to analyse it. Zelth takes a moment mid leap to look at her surroundings. The ground is littered with skulls, bones and discarded weapons. "Doesn't anyone clean up around here?" "Nah it all adds to the aesthetic." She swings the now active energy blade at the creatures face as it attempts once again to swallow her in a single bite of it's huge jaws. The creature looks like a reptilian dog but with random clumps of feathers dotted about it's hide. The hound's eyes begin to glow as it powers up what is likely to be a devastating attack...

(Zelth: Restarting here to test a few things...) Zim appears a couple of feet above the ground managing to just about land on his feet. "Where am I? Is this an arena? How did I get here? I demand answers!" Zim looks around and yells at the sky as the hologram host flashes into existence. "You irkens are so bossy. Yes this is an arena, I teleported you here and no you can't leave." The hologram continues predicting Zim's next questions. "Any business you had out there will not be disrupted. You exist in both places at once and as such will have no memory of being here but you can use this zone to test new skills before using them in you universe." "So this is a pocket dimension separate from my own home universe. This could be useful but if I can't remember being here training here is pointless." "You'll remember but not remember. Best not to think about that too much. Now choose your opponent." The hologram gestures towards the monitor. "I see. I assume weapons and armour will be provided?" Zim inquires as he taps the largest icon. "The finest in the empire." "Good." Zim says shortly before being transported to a new arena sector.
(On phone, interrupted, to be continued)
