Anything Goes (PMW/PK/DM, May Open)

[Pink Moon Wolf]

"She will. Don't get her wrong," Cat plainly stated.

Mickey anxiously checked to make sure that Sam's whip hadn't scratched his van, sighing with sweet relief when he found no new dings or dents. Then he frowned at the lion, his sarcasm all but gone. "You know, as much as I love a good round of making things hurt, even you have to admit you're outclassed, fancy boy."

"Hey, he swung first," Cat chimed, reeling Goldenhand back in preparation. "Does that mean I can swing back?"

[ParamountKeymaster]

"Cat, calm down," Rio ordered. "I told you I'd prefer to avoid a fight, and we clearly don't need to start one. This goes for you especially, Sam."

"Look, regardless of locale, I told you guys I would get my dues!" Sam clicked a button on his weapon's hilt, causing the separate metal pieces of the whip to snap together into a sword. "The past hasn't changed, and neither have any of your weirdos!"

"Sure, kill us and risk causing a paradox. Like the End of the World wasn't already imminent."

"Don't get sassy with me, mage!"

[DMis]

Another click. "And you're causing trouble on my home turf. I will warn you one last time. Back the frig away from my frigging friends or I will make you wish you were dead," Yang warned. Her eyes flashed to the red tone that Mickey and Cat had seen the first time they had met.

[Pink Moon Wolf]

"Yeah, Rio. Cat and I are the sass masters here," Mickey agreed. "Stick to your dry wit and sarcasm, boy."

In response to the threats directed at Sam, Cat politely offered, "Or, y'know, come at me and give me an excuse to swat your buns around some more. Could be fun. At least for me."

"And me."

"Just make it quick, though. It's almost lunchtime."

[ParamountKeymaster]

Rio raised a hand, non-verbally reiterating that a fight was completely unnecessary, while his hard scowl remained focused on Sam.

Sam just glared back at them, paw still tightly clenching his sword. "I just got dumped into another dimension that you three just so happen to be in with no means of escape, and you expect me to just let that slide? Frig. No. For all the trouble you've caused me, I think I at least deserve a- YIPE!"

The very second that Sam raised his sword, Rio hit him with a spell that effectively knocked him to the ground, leaving him pinned by blue light with his sword having fallen a few feet away. Seeing their rival trapped like this, Rio just sighed and turned to his allies. "Just make it quick, okay? We don't need a full-fledged ruckus on our hands."

[DMis]

Yang quickly went to retrieve said blade. "Cat and Mickey get first crack at the loud mouth. May the Nescient Trio find mercy if I get my hands on him," Yang called to the others.

[Pink Moon Wolf]

"Sweet." Cat grinned smugly and strolled up to the downed Sam, simply taking a moment to stand over him and slowly raise Goldenhand.

"Seriously, though, it's good to see you again. How ya been?" WHAM! The oversized flyswatter came down upon the lion. "That's great! Glad to know you're doing well." SMACK! "Things back home seem insane as usual, but that's neither here nor there." SLAM! "Oh, and since you asked, I'm doing alright myself!" CRACK! "Got some new friends, been on a few adventures..." POW! "You know. Typical me being awesome." WHAP!

Once Cat was done swatting him, Mickey walked up to Sam and poked his head with his foot. "Just like old times, eh, buddy boy?"

[ParamountKeymaster]

Rio rolled his eyes at the ridiculously one-sided display, his partners' cockiness as apparent as ever.

Sam, half-buried by the time Cat had finished swatting the bejeebers out of him, just stared at the sky, completely mortified, a high-pitched squeak easing out of his slack-jawed mouth. It took a moment, but eventually he was able to convert his squeak into words just barely within a human's capacity to register. "_{Haaaaaate yoooooou... Hate you all...}"

"There. Are we done here?" Rio muttered.

[DMis]

"Actually. Let me get one shot in," Yang offered to the trio. "He did bad mouth my friends."

The edge of her voice meant that she was aiming for damage.

[Pink Moon Wolf]

"Hey. Be my guest," Mickey politely offered, stepping away.

Cat just smirked at Yang and followed Mickey, twirling her flyswatter before stuffing it in her pocket.

[ParamountKeymaster]

Rio sighed and gestured towards Sam, eyes fixed on a nondescript patch of grass. "Fine. But after that, I'm sending him somewhere far from here."

"_{Not... Not fair, alright...? Just... Screw everything...}"

[DMis]

Yang smirked before punching Sam right below the belt and letting a shot fire off as well.

"That is for insulting my friends and allies," she returned as her gauntlets collapsed down to bracelets once more.

[Pink Moon Wolf]

"Ooooooh..." Mickey reflexively winced and curled inward, snickering at Sam's misfortune. Nut shots would never not be funny.

Cat chuckled in a somewhat dorky tone, then she motioned her head in a random direction and said, "Alright, fight's over. Frig off."

[ParamountKeymaster]

"HNNNNNNGGGGGG...!!!" Sam's eyes widened to a painful size and his teeth ground together hard enough to snap his jaw. All he knew was searing pain. Cat's pummeling had made moving nigh impossible, but he was wall and truly crippled now.

Of course, leave it to Rio to take pity on the guy, placing a full bottle of water on Sam's chest before conjuring a portal to send their rival to another location on the island. The last thing they heard Sam say before he vanished was something along the lines of "Headache's back..."

Once he was gone, Rio took a deep breath and stated, "Should've known our problems from home come back to bite us."

[DMis]

"So. That was a thing. Care to tell me what had him so worked up?" Yang asked as she tossed his sword to Rio. She had been holding it in her left.
