The Arena
Deapstove Canyon
Deep inside the giant canyon, the rocks tower out above as gigantic walls, almost blocking out the sunlight. The walls are un-climbable and the top of the canyon can only be reached through flight or teleportation. The inside of the canyon is a small, but long stretched battlefield, covered in shadow and has many rocks lying scattered on it. Swords, shields and broken spears do sometimes appear to the sandy surface of the battlefields. Rumor says that there was once a huge battle. Even now, the Persian gold lays untaken, since Deapstove villagers name the place cursed and dare to go up there.
The cave lies near to the shore, where huge cliffs separate the battlefield from the sea. Falling off those cliffs will result in a -5% HP loss and a trip on the beach. The beach is cut off from the rest of the village or country by a huge wall of skeletons and Greek stone. So that means that everyone down's only option is climbing back up again (this is fairly do-able), but can be booted back down again, again resulting in a -5% HP loss, meaning, once you got the lower battle-position, you're screwed.
The battle starts on the regular place of battling, the inside of the canyon, 'where numbers don't matter'.
Ready! FIGHT!
Little birdies still flying around it’s head, Libra begins to glow with a faint aura (-9) as the weapons that it had crashed into start to float and swirl around it, like the asteroid belt of a star-shaped planet, before they blast forward towards the spasming Slowbro. However, in it’s confusion several chunks of weapons, shields, and rocks hit the Staryu in the back of it’s… head? (-4, (Hazards plus throwing them)). Athene can’t do much but stand there as she’s pelted with swords, shields, rocks, and a random gold coin or three (-10). With a gold coin bouncing off of her head, Athene tries to use the pent-up electrical energy trying to paralyze her, releasing it into the immediate area (-5), of which the Staryu was knocked too far back to be affected by it.
Annoyed, Libra tries to shriek and disorient its opponent, however it only succeds in shrieking so sharply that it hurts itself (-3, -2). Then from the stream of time, comes a psychic blast, knocking Libra back again (-8). Athene, closes her eyes and several hexagonal spheres surround her body, floating around her like options from Gradius III (-8).
Shaking its… head. Dang I shoulda paid more attention in Zoology. The Staryu shakes itself back and electric energy starts to charge up along its body (-7). It discharges and slams into the Slowbro (-9). Athene starts to move towards her opponent, much faster than a Slowbro should be able to move. Reaching out to grab Libra (-5), her muscles lock up, over-exerting and causing paralysis to take hold.

Ref Notes: Future Sight attacked Libra just as predicted…. Then forgotten by Athene. Sound waves can cause pain if too high pitched. Competitors can still attack despite having no energy, only health is used instead for 1 Health = 2 Energy rounded up, so 5 Energy would cause them to lose 3 Health.
Also Note: My Reffings are how I see the fight playing out. I will not re-do any other Reffing post that I make, and if you don’t like that, then you can get another Ref, which due to our seemingly shortage of such Refs, this battle might not get finished for a few months.
MGL attacks First.
