Michael and Alice followed the Clubba and the, in their opinion, slightly bizarre Alien to the woods just near a movie theater.
Michael, slightly unnerved by the silence, decided to play a little background music before the match. He motioned with his hand, and a favorite tune of his started playing.
Alice pulled her grimoire out of her bag, preparing herself for the upcoming fight.
Michael thought to himself, 'Hopefully Marisa saw us flying here.
As she ran her fingers on the spine of her grimoire, Alice thought, 'I hope I don't have to use this...

The purpose of Chip's rather odd sleeves became rather clear upon the arrival to the forest, as Chip immediately lept up into the trees and began using his sleeves to swing from branch to branch. After they reached a clearing, Chip swung to the top of a rather large oak and sat there, seemingly enjoying the breeze before swinging down.
"Oh yes~~~ This is perfect!" Chip said happily. His leechsleeves nodded accordingly.
"So it's going to be me and Dale vs.... Ooh, Miss Alice!" Chip clapped his hands together. "Yes, perfect. And to make it fair Miss Alice, you can use your dolls when fighting me. But only me!"

Chubba roughed it behind the rest of the group, not weezing besides his large, flabby physique. "Man, these woods ain't half bad," he grinned, looking around. "But right now, it's rough housin' time." Knowing full well it wasn't his turn, he got to where Micheal was, then brought out his spiked club from wherever he kept it, twirled it around, then speared that heavy thing into the ground by his seat.
"Hey Mike," Chubba began, shooting him a look. "Don't worry about your friend. it'll be fine." Grinning big, he returned his attention to the two about to start fighting. "Good luck, you guys! I don't wanna be fighting a default winner!" he laughed, grinning huge.

Michael smirked back at Chubba.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right. Alice can handle herself; I'm probably just being paranoid." Michael turned towards Alice and Chip.
"Now then..." he began. He snapped his fingers, and another song started playing.
Michael shouted, "Border of Duel!"
Alice tensed, preparing her danmaku.
"Round 1: Fight!"

At the start of the music, Chip's antennae began to twitch, and lept into the trees above. Unlike before when he'd been clearly visible upon leaping into the trees, Chip had disappeared the moment he entered the boughs.
He'd been playing with them before. But now... he really didn't like little girls that played with dolls. He'd dealt with enough little girls in one life time.
"If you're that hungry, Schriiphrus, you should go back to eating pigeons like you usually do."
Chip didn't even need to look behind him to see who the voice was coming from. A boy, wearing a cloak that shielded his whole body and a magician's hat, stood at the very top of a tree.
"I'm busy," Chip said to Ford. "Now, whatever it is you're gonna bother me about can wait."
"Fine. I'll just watch," Ford said. Chip nodded and swung down from the tree behind Alice, aiming a kick at her back.

Chubba twitched. "Nnngh, there's someone up there with Chip, I'm sure of it..." he whispered behind grit teeth. "And this someone said something... disturbing..." Chubba began twitching, almost to the point of finding a rock and relieving his stress. Exactly what he heard, though, made it justified.
"He mentioned something about hunger to chip..." He quickly gave Micheal a look. "Mike, I have a bad feeling this fight might be rigged, and I don't like rigged fights." Putting it down, he looked to Alice again and cheered. "Be careful! There's something up with this guy!"

Alice's eyes widened. Acting quickly, she threw two dolls above her, and, turning around, she threw another doll forward. The two dolls above shot a flurry of danmaku and the third started spinning around with a sword outstretched.
Michael turned towards Chubba with a tense look on his face. "Yeah, I heard it, too. I thought there was something weird about that guy!" Michael then relaxed a little. "Well, I'm still not too worried. Alice is a powerful mage, and besides..." Michael gestured towards the sky with his shoulder. "Marisa's here. She'll Spark that guy's behind if he tries anything."
Said magician was flying on her broom above the treetops. She had followed them by listening to the music Michael made play. On her back, she had a backpack with supplies, a magic tome that she "borrowed" from Patchouli, and more spellcards for all three of them. Marisa saw the fight, and was about to swoop down, when she heard Michael's voice "Hold your fire, Marisa. Get Stardust Reverie ready, just in case." Scowling, Marisa pulled out the spellcard, muttering "Alright, but I don't like it..."

Chip laughed and jumped back from the dolls. His antennae twitched, and he began to agilely jump between the danmaku bullets, using his leechsleeves to grab onto branches and pull himself out of the way.
"You're not trying hard enough!" Chip yelled. He ran toward the spinning doll and span around himself, his leech sleeves extending out and whirling much like a helicopter. The speed of the spin meant that the blade didn't do much damage, and managed to knock the doll out of the air.
-----------------
Ford snapped his head toward the magician. He'd expected her arrival soon. A large, ornate magical circle appeared under his feet. He pulled a book from his cloak and held it open in one hand. With his other hand, he pulled a knife and cut just above his cheekbone. The blood from his face fell onto the open book.
"O evil tree... I call upon thy pact and present this offering of blood and paper in exchange for thy servant..." Ford said in a low voice. "Bring forth thy servant, born from the unholy union of alchemy and ink, and allow him to wreak havoc upon those who I call my enemies... I summon forth thee... Black Cat!"
A black mass appeared from the magic circle and hovered in the air next to Ford, changing into the shape of a black cat. It grinned and laughed, but Ford did not seem to hear it. He looked up at Marisa.
"Do not interfere with this battle," Ford said. And to prove his point, he pulled out a few spell cards of his own.

The red clubba frowned. This was baaad. "Grr, nothing left to do but cheer, now!" he roared, slamming his foot into the ground. "Fight as hard as you can, Alice! Don't give up, even when things look bleak!" Then he gave chip a look and yawned. "Oh, and you do well too, dip."

Marisa jolted in surprise, not having noticed the other mage. She glared at him, but didn't do anything. 'Besides,' she thought, 'I know Alice can smack that weirdo down.'
Alice grimaced. 'I didn't want to have to use this so early, but...' a Spellcard appeared in her hand, and she declared it, throwing another doll at Chip. "Demonic Control: Return Inanimate!"
Michael bit his thumb, as if thinking. 'That other guy is an alchemist... Chip probably is one, too. That would explain those freaky sleeves of his...'

(OOC: Hey Shade, mind either describing the spell cards or linking them being used? I'm not very familiar with most of the spell cards because I've only played a couple Touhou games, and I need that description for Chip's actions.)
Chip wasn't going to play around with this doll. Instead, he extended his leechsleeve out, maw gaping wide, and let the sleeve eat the doll before it could fire off any danmaku. Chip made chewing motions in his own mouth before spitting out the battered doll.
"Yuck." Chip spat the doll from his leechsleeve, and it landed on the ground.
-----------
Far above, Ford watched Marisa, his black inky familiar cackling all the while.
[glow=purple,2,300]"Blackstaff,"[/glow] the Black Cat hissed. [glow=purple,2,300]"I want to feed. Let me feed."[/glow]
"No," Ford said, quite simply.
[glow=purple,2,300]"I feel him. He's in this world. Let me go..."[/glow]

(OOC: Yeah, Sorry about that. Return Inanimate is a more powerful Artful Sacrifice, i.e. a bomb doll. it's from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.)
Alice gagged slightly when her doll was chewed up. Not even thinking about why it didn't explode, Alice pulled another spellcard out. "Curse Sign: Hourai Doll!" A doll flew in front of Alice and fired three lasers, curving at slightly different angles, towards Chip.
Michael's eyes widened further than he previously thought possible. 'Son of a- what the hell!? Things could go very badly, very quickly here,' Michael thought. Returning his calm facade to normal, he slid his left hand into his shorts pocket, reaching for a spellcard, just in case.
Marisa gasped slightly at what Chip had done. Her mind briefly wandered to thinking about what could happen if Yuyuko could do that, but it then snapped back to reality. 'Damn it... I want to help Alice, but with this midget here, I can't risk it...' Marisa thought to herself.
All three of them then shared a thought. 'Ugh... this is bad...'

All Chubba could do now was slam his feet on the ground repetitivly, causing small tremors near him. "GrrrAAAAH! This is getting me psyched like heck! I wanna fight now! Right now!"
That's when it sparked up. His unstable energy wavelength, though unnoticeable earlier, was sparking like nuts. Anyone who knew how to sense energy of any form would notice this unusual pressure, and also notice how bad an idea it was to put a large amount of power into him. "Ggggrrr, GRRR! I Can't take much more!"
(OOC: is it possible to since when someone can become a berserker? As in, they're a berserker in a sense, but not always?)

(OOC: Ryo, I'm really not sure what you're trying to say there, but I think you're asking if Chubba can start to go into a berserker state and people would sense it. I'm going to have to say no to that because it wasn't on his app, and the way you have it set up very clearly makes it sound like an ability.)
Chip grinned and lept in between the lasers, moving nimbly between them, even with his long leech sleeves. Every movement was matched with a twitch of his insect-like antennae.
"Yeah! That's more like it!" Chip yelled. He slid under the lasers as they swooped overhead and ran toward Alice, aiming a kick at her legs.
-------------
[glow=purple,2,300]"Let me go... let me feed... I feel him... I feel the me inside of him..."[/glow]
"This is why I never summon you," Ford said. "Your dimension is gone. You're delusional."
[glow=purple,2,300]"No... no, he's alive again... I need him... I killed him once but now he's back and I need him..."[/glow]

Alice acted quickly, launching a set of dolls armed with spears towards Chip. She then jumped back, prepping another set of danmaku.
Michael glanced over at Chubba, and thought, 'Ah, crap. Him going into a frenzy would be the last thing I need right now...'
Marisa just looked at Ford and his familiar, slightly creeped out.
