”why does everything I love die“
Telekinesis ~ Confuse Ray ~ Endeavor
Zona is battered and bruised, barely keeping her coating together in mid-air; her psychic powers are waning from exhaustion. But from fatigue can come moments of clarity, moments of determination. With a yelp, Zona flings herself upwards, using raw physical motion to get her mental gears working again. Na’ar, who had been sitting by the wayside, waiting for the Solosis to make a move, yelps as her arms begin to move of their own accord. She throws them around, but they fight back and she slowly moves upwards, making it look like the Machop is climbing an invisible wall. The ascent stops several meters off the ground, about level with Zona, leaving Na’ar queasy enough to not attempt any sudden physical movements.
She scrunches her eyes shut and tries to improvise. What can she do? What move would work up here? High up here, so…very high, very. She shakes her head, ridding herself of the creeping vertigo. She thrusts her hand out at Zona, a single finger pointing directly at her. The greyish blue tip sparks and crackles before a small orb appears at the end. The orb winks out of existence for a moment, emitting a circle of quickly dissipating light. Once it reappears it balloons to thrice its normal size, firing a massive beam of green light. Zona shrieked as the brightness struck her, and attempted to thicken the gel around her eyes. But the burning seeped in through the very shell that protected her, the gel doing nothing to muddle the onslaught’s intensity.
Na’ar grinned, this would do nicely, and brought down her palm. Instead, she raised her other arm, in the exact same pose. Zona’s vision was still clearing when the second beam blasted her, slightly to the side this time, leaving her spinning wildly for a moment. While it was somewhat disorienting, she knew she could use this to her advantage, and began to send pulsing signals dancing across her gel covering. Na’ar, viewing her handiwork with pride, was caught by the flashing colours and shapes dancing across Zona’s form. Mesmerized, she dropped her arm. Her own involuntary drifting in the air almost added to the effect, leaving her dizzy in more ways than one.
She attempted to raise her other arm, ready to fire another blast. But she was still floating in midair, and had lost some of her senses for a moment. In attempting to recollect herself, she raised her foot instead, high enough to knee herself in the chest. It wasn’t much of an injury, but it was enough to set her spinning backwards in place, much like the psychic type that besieged her.
Zona sighed, thank god she wasn’t hit again. That would have been brutally painful, and even moreso for the Machop. She wiggled in place, preparing herself for the tackle of a lifetime. It wasn’t something a psychic type was used to engage in, something to physical, so raw. But damnit, she was drained and definitely tired, if there was ever a time to brute force something, it was now. She cocked her head back in, which was her whole body, so she just moved back a bit, and lined her forehead up with the Machop’s prone form. She charged, ramming through the air, she could feel the air tunneling around her, wrapping herself and throwing lashing whips of wind at her. She was ripping through the battlefield. Na’ar came round to the correct position mid-float just in time to see a ball of green rocketing across the battlefield. Zona smashed into Na’ar’s chest, sending them both flying into a nearby wall. The smash of bone on metal echoed through the stadium, followed by several cracking sounds and the damp thwap of a gelatinous creature disengaging from its victim. Zona bobbed up and down in front of the Machop, smiling weakly and looking straight into the fighting type’s eye. Na’ar gulped, the adrenalin had soften the crushing impact, and the smash that followed it. She still felt the air whistle as they flew through it, and the initial smack of her back onto the arena wall. But now the pain was beginning to flare up, as the numbness receded. Sharp twangs begin to tear across her innards, and she screeched in pain. What was that? How could something so little do something so…so big? She gasped for air. Zona shook her head about, rearranging the bits of gel that had molded itself into the shape of a Machop against a wall.

”Hah! Hurts, doesn’t it?“
Telekinesis ~ Confuse Ray ~ Endeavor
Rolls:
Secret Power: Crit Chance(99/100, NO CRIT), Effect Chance(71/100, NO SLEEP)
Secret Power: Crit Chance(70/100, NO CRIT), Effect Chance(42/100, NO SLEEP)
Confusion Rolls:
-Action Three(47/100, CONFUSED)
Calculations:
Na’ar’s Health:
80 – 2 (Hit self in confusion) – 40 (Endeavor, Capped) = 38%
Na’ar’s Energy:
44 – 5 (Secret Power) – 5 (Secret Power) = 34%
Zona’s Health:
37 – 7 (Secret Power) – 7 (Secret Power) = 23%
Zona’s Energy:
66 – 4 (Telekinesis) – 4 (Confuse Ray) – 28 (Endeavor) = 30%
Notes:
-Alright, the conditionals and their relation to speed were a monkey to decipher. So, on the first action, Na’ar would wait to see if Zona would make a move, and then react. Zona used Telekinesis, so Na’ar switched to Secret Power after Zona made her move for that action. After that Na’ar just spammed normal speed Secret Powers.
-Secret Power turned into a grassy green beam with a sleep chance. Astroturf is grassy enough, and we’re outdoors so it almost defaults to that.
-Endeavor did 55% damage when uncapped, and so cost 28% energy(rounded up) to perform, as Endeavor's energy cost is half the amount of damage it would have done if uncapped.
-Endeavor hit pretty damn hard, so I cut 15% from Na’ar’s confusion chance. Along with Na’ar hitting herself in confusion, which dropped it by 5%, the total reduction was 20% this round. Na’ar has a 30% chance to get confused on the next action, which I would consider moderate.
-Initial confusion roll required less than or equal to 50 to hit, got a bit close with 47.
-While severe confusion would cause a bit more damage, I lowered it from a possible 3% to 2% because Na'ar was floating from Telekinesis, and would be hard pressed to hit herself very hard.
-I didn't dock any energy for Na'ar hitting herself in confusion, it seems like a pretty huge drawback to lose an action and hurt yourself already. Probably doesn't cost much energy to do 3% or 2% damage to yourself anyway, since doing 5% damage with an attack costs 1% energy on average.
-Telekinesis did drop Na'ar back to the ground on the third action, but for flavour purposes I more or less put that into the description for Endeavor. It was a pretty big hit and sent them both rocking to the ground, so why not let Na'ar stay there?
-Kinda tired today, so bear with the description (Comments are still appreciated, though).
-Wargle posts commands next.
