This had me in tears! xD Lucy popping her head out of a chocolate eclair was just brilliant! Poor Coral. But to be honest, death by chocolate eclair is how I want to go. ;)

Since the beginning of the tournament, Bethany had painted portraits on a famished and growling stomach, but it would appear that the recent royal rumbles provided her with a buffet of "weapons" to feast on. From starving artist to bloated artist, in a matter of rounds!

The bowl of locusts and French baguettes had been a blessing on these bloodied grounds, but never in a million moons did Bethany expect to be munching on a chocolate eclair at such a violent venue. She could not believe her empty eye sockets when the wind pushed this sleek chocolately delight against her necrophage lips. I feel like I am at the Food Fight Club, she joked to the wind.

Suddenly, Bethany's attention went from her tummy to her ears. Above the crowded arena, an orchestra of cat meows clawed the air, matched by a rude and cocky cock-a-doodle-doo from a boisterous rooster. Fowl and feline, Bethany rolled those words on her taste buds, her mouth watering once again.

"Are you going to reveal your newest portraits?" was the wind's attempt at distracting Bethany from her new-found gluttony. And with that distraction, Bethany's appetite returned to her art...

Galvanized, the homunculi face new entrants to the ring, doing a ritual dance similar to the Haka of Maori culture, including facial contortions, poking out the tongue and other gestures that politeness prevents us from detailing here.

gotta love Doc's prose when he writes sentences like this one:

Love the Rider's portrait! It gives off that Courage the Cowardly Dog's vibe due to the uncanny aspect of it. And ofc the background as well, since it kind of shares the same setting with the show.

I like the rider's portrait. The only thing that would make him better is if he had cat ears.

Drink well buddy, you put up a fight :')

I Like how one foot is attached to his leg and the other to his bike.

Thanks for Muskitos portrait

P-AE00FF rolls 7

The purple entity P-AE00FF drifts in closer to better examine the ursine creature sat in the middle of the ring. While it has seen similar creatures before, the intricate scars on the head of this one points to experimentation and possible alteration.
Vasily stands up to his full 9 feet in height and scratches his arse. As he does, his massive frame blocks the light and casts a deep shadow over P-AE00FF who recoils in horror.

* DICE ROLL *

Borellus de Castres rolls 6
Marge the Mega Mini Cleaner rolls 7

Borellus eyes Marge the Mega Mini Cleaner and licks his lips thinking what a wonderful homunculus she would make. Marge sensing danger slams on the accelerator, honks her horn and barrels through the alchemist and his entourage scattering them like skittles.

* DICE ROLL *

Rude Rooster rolls 7
Captain Whiskers rolls 7

Rude Rooster looks around anxiously at his enclosed surroundings and the large crowd as his Agoraphobia threatens to take over.

Rude Rooster sees the hissing little cat and spits on the floor. He pulls a large salmon from behind his back and slaps
Captain Whiskers across the face, knocking him dizzy.

* DICE ROLL *

Marge the Mega Mini Cleaner rolls 9
P-AE00FF rolls 9

Marge does wheelspins around the ring as she takes stock of a strange purple essence. P-AE00FF is delighted to get to study a being that it has never seen before, dreaming of the accolades he will receive when he returns to his own race.

* DICE ROLL *

Captain Whiskers rolls 2
Vasily rolls 5

Captain Whiskers feels very grumpy after being smacked with a fish. He spots the bear and does a zoomie towards it, ready to deliver a nasty cat disease with one of his bites. As he gets close Vasily yawns and plops down onto his haunches, squashing the little cat in the process.

* DICE ROLL *

P-AE00FF rolls 11
Marge the Mega Mini Cleaner rolls 5

Marge sees an opportunity to knock out both the bear and the strange purple essence in one go. She turns her headlights on full beam and honks gleefully as she revs towards them.
'Oh dear' P-AE00FF thinks as the headlights hit him filling his being with too much energy to contain. A powerful solar blast later and a smoking Marge the Mega Mini Cleaner is seen flying through the sky.

Great writing as always!

Sad about the two fallen fighters, especially a certain little cat I was rooting for. I can't pick a favorite from the five that remain, they're all cool characters, so I wish them all good luck! Can't wait to see how the final fights develop.

Captain Whiskers, noooooo! Our last hope has been crushed. A sad day for the cats, and thus for the whole world.

*shouts Shield Lady from the crowd as she tightly hugs her two shields on her lap*

"Borellus de Castres! You better win or I won't forgive you for using me as your homunculus!"

Also, it is indeed a sad time to all cats around the world as well as all that is clean in this universe. Cheer up, Captain Whiskers and Marge the Mega Mini Cleaner! For having reached this far into the tournament is already a great feat on its own.
