Celebrating victory over the Colosus!! (Featuring ScylliasExtorer)

[MappleMan7]

"Diet? Hm... mostly meat, if I have to be honest! A little bit of chicken, a little bit of beef- but mostly beef. Honestly, more chicken should be the way to go but I've always liked red meat more. Besides- with all the cardio and stuff I do to stay in shape I figure it balances it out evenly"

Oscar happily talked about his died and means of keeping his impressive physique in form with Drake before looking over at Moria, listening to her talk about fried food and having a laugh along with Drake about his crass humor.

"Aw man... dude. Let me tell you this- friend food is one of my BIGGEST food-based weaknesses. Right up there behind baked goods. Seriously- Mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, honestly if it's served at a bar I'm going to demolish it. I could totally go for some of those right now..."

[ScylliasExoter]

“Yeah let’s do it! Could we please get some chicken wings and mozzarella sticks, please? Or whatever the Japanese version of that is? Oh and another round. Thanks, Aurora!”
Aurora paused for a tense moment and then smiled.
”You got it.”

She then went to the kitchen. Drake checked his phone.
“Holy shit our girlfriends are still getting ready?!! What are they DOING?”
“They’re probably dolling up extra special for us. Aren’t we lucky to have them?”
”You’re absolutely right. But at this rate we’ll be sloshed by the time they get here!” exclaimed Drake as he finished his beer, clearly trying to establish his drinking street cred with the others.

Aurora returned, but not with beers. She came back with a steaming sake bottle and four sake cups.
”This one’s on me. We are righting wrongs today, after all.”

[MappleMan7]

Oscar grinned as the order for the appetizers were put down, already looming forward to devouring the fried snacks when they came out. Oscar's attention turns to Moria and Drake as they mentioned their girlfriends being late- causing Oscar to check his watch as well to notice Katrina was also quite late before chiming in.

"Knowing Katrina, she probably is trying to find the best outfit to wear. Roads might be busy too. Ah, well. I'm sure it'll be fine"

Oscar chuckled at Drake in particular aa he finished his beer, watching Aurora bring out the sake with a curious look in his eye.

"Oooh... I've never had Sake before... I've only ever read about it. Thanks, Aurora! You're the best!"

Oscar would pour the sake into the cups, if he was allowed to, and raise one of the cups in his hands for a toast.

"Here's to a fresh, clean slate! Welcome to the club, Drake!"

Oscar let out a hearty, joyful laugh before drinking up the sake!

[ScylliasExoter]

"To a fresh start!"
"To new friends!"
"To righting wrongs."

The four of them raised their cups. Three of them drank. Aurora did not.
She stopped the cup short from her lips, smiled grimly, and put it down.
The patrons in the bar almost at once stopped talking and before the group knew it, everyone was looking at them. And in one smooth motion, the bar patrons pulled out creepy lucha-style masks and put them on. Something was eerily wrong and Oscar's party could feel it.

[MappleMan7]

After drinking the sake, Oscar caught on to the sudden quiet in the bar. All the chatter going on from the other customers stopped in an instant and when Oscar turned around to see what was up, all he saw were all of the patrons putting on creepy luchador masks- making Oscar's hair stand up on the back of his neck. The Barbarian Prince's fight or flight started to kick in but he couldn't warn his friends. Oscar wanted to say something but his mouth wasn't listening to him- he couldn't feel it as his jaw went numb... along with the rest of his body slowly following suit. Oscar tried to look at his friends as his face started feeling numb- a scared expression soon drooping away as control of his body left him.

Oscar felt a hand cup his chin and turn his head. He found himself looking at Aurora. The Latina was noticeably not struggling to move and had a sadistic smile on her face.
”Me querías. Estoy aqui.”
She paused.
“You wanted me. Here I am. You’re going to wish I stayed in the shadows Oscar.”
She then spun around, delivering a savage spinning back kick to Oscar’s face.

Meanwhile Moira also began feeling the numbness from the drinks.
“What the f-“
Suddenly two dark blurs were on her. The twins, Oria and Jade Phillips had come out from the kitchen and began wailing on Moira.

“AURORA WHAT THE FUCK?!”

[MappleMan7]

Oscar couldn't even feel it when Aurura cupped his chin to look at him. But he did feel the spinning kick connect with his face- sending him out of the stool and onto the Bar's floor. The numbness faded- but Oscar still couldn't move. It was like having sleep paralysis but Oscar didn't know what was worst at the moment. Being unable to move, or the pain he felt on the inside as what Aurora said clicked with him.

The presence of Oria and Jade showing up only confirmed it- it was Aurora who was targeting him and his friends. It was Aurora who sent Drake and the twins after him. It was always Aurora. Oscar wanted to ask why. He wanted to yell. To demand answers on why one of his longest friends would stick a knife into his heart like that but he couldn't thanks to the Paralysis. Oscar could only listen and feel. At most, a single tear managed to make it out from his eye at the realization; helpless to help Moria as the twins beat her down.

[ScylliasExoter]

Moira, having a really high CON score (and a higher tolerance for foreign substances in her body) took longer to go down. She took the twins’ blows and even threw out several desperation punches before going sluggish and collapsing. The twins picked her up and slid her across the top of the bar, sending her flying off the end into a table.

Meanwhile, Aurora sadistically glared at Oscar, relishing his tear. She knelt down and straddled Oscar to say,
”Don’t worry. I’ll explain everything soon. For now, I hope he’s watching.”
Aurora clipped a GoPro on Oscar’s collar.
”Because I want him to see this and know es su culpa.”
Aurora then proceeded to pummel Oscar mercilessly with her fists, the camera catching her savage ground and pound while Oscar was helpless.

Before she could do any serious damage, a hand came in view of the camera, grabbed Aurora’s wrist, and yanked her off of Oscar. She came face to face with Drake Benton.
“¡Que idiota, trabajas para mi! I am the one who hired you and this is your last chance to make up for your FAILURE!”
”Man you’re fucking crazy, bitch, I dodged a bullet with you.”
“Your services are no longer required. Don’t worry. I’ve already found a suitable replacement.”

Drake felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up. He turned around to see a bulky woman standing before him.

Oscar's eyes did their best to follow as he silently processed everything going on as Aurora straddled him and secured a recording device to the front collar of his shirt- making Oscar more confused. Was all of this just a means to be a stepping stone to get to somebody else? Who? Oscar hadn't a clue what Aurora was talking about before she started beating him. Aurora's fists landed like hammers to a nail on Oscar's face and although he couldn't react to them, he felt it. He felt everything. The pain, the urge to defend himself and fight back, the bruising and welts forming on his face, and the inability to do a single thing about any of it. Thankfully, Drake stopped Aurora before she could do more harm and watched the two get into an argument- leading to Aurora introducing another fighter that Oscar wasn't really familiar with. In any case, it was bad news for he and Drake- and Oscar silently prayed that if not he, then it'd be Moria who'd recover first so that they could all get out of this mess.

Given the situation they were in, Drake threw decorum out the window and a punch to the woman’s face. The woman ate the blow and slugged Drake right back. The two had a brief exchange of punches before Aurora interrupted with a low blow on Drake. The Colossus roared in pain and crumpled to his knees clutching his family jewels.

”Oh I’ve wanted to do that for so fucking long! By the way, I intentionally fucked up your sushi order Drake. I knew Drake would be an asshole and Oscar, ever the gentleman, would come to my rescue and want to be my friend. You all are so fucking predictable it was too easy!”

Aurora sat Oscar up against a table leg while she talked so he could see everything.
”Allow me to introduce you to your next opponent, Magna Bjorg! Magna, show Oscar why you’re called The Jötunslammer.”

Magna walked over to Drake, grabbed him, and lifted him up on her shoulders. The Viking-looking amazon then pressed him up high overhead in an impressive feat of strength. Holding him there in Oscar’s view to show off her power, she then brought Drake down onto a table with a press slam. The table smashed to pieces and Drake was laid out starfished.

Meanwhile, Moira was beaten down but still not out. Oria decided to switch things up and dragged Moira from the end of the bar into Oscar’s view. She put Moira in a camel clutch + sleeper hold combo and proceeded to choke her out in front of Oscar. Moira’s eyes were open, but they had that dead look in them signifying she was unconscious. Oria then picked Moira up and locked her in a bearhug.
This is gonna be your girlfriend when I’m through with her, Oscarrrrr!” she mocked.

Jade then came into Oscar’s view with pool sticks in hand, tossing the two extras to Aurora and Magna. Anyone who was still conscious knew exactly what was coming.
