"Did someone Uber Eats some Fresh Fruit?"

Orion called out kicking open the door to the top level of the ruined skyscraper with twin bundles of fruit, one in each hand.  The wind shifted and the smell of rot and decay wafted over from the pool, causing Orion to retch slightly as he stepped forward, still brandishing fruit bags like he was the second coming of Billy Mays.  Getting up to their meeting place had been a bit of an ass kicking, no elevator meant it was nothing but flights and flights of stairs between him and his bro.  Normally this would be daunting to any regular person, but Orion was the motherfucking stair master, and nothing could come between him and broing down with Bee.

The venue kinda stank though.

He would set the two bags down, grapes spilling out over drooping cloth and Bananas hanging free for all to see.  Smuggling fruit from one area to another was a complex task, but Orion was always up for the challenge.  "So, what're we gonna be up to today homie?  I was thinking about doing some house hunting, once I find the right place for a secret base I gotta drag my fucking coffin out here somehow, can't be caught lackin in the only region where I can be caught lacking, you know?  Having an HP bar is for nerds."

He would brandish a mango and toss it to Bee's surly mon who looked like they needed a pick me up before tossing a bundle of grapes to Bee and pulling out a mandarin for himself.  "I'm curious about hunting down more quests but I'm not quite sure what rocks I haven't kicked over yet."

"Bungee Jumping?"

To say Orion raised an eyebrow would be accurate, but an understatement.  It would really mute the sheer befuddlement that crossed across his face as the dial tones beeped and booped, and the hellacious siren sound of 90's internet blasted across his mind palace.  Bee wanted to go bungee jumping, okay, that much tracked.  But here?  In the land of Tetanus Shots and Existential dread?  He could think of half a dozen sketchy bridges he would sooner leap off with no rope attached to his legs.

But of course he didn't want Bee to think he was bitchmade now did he?

He opened his mouth to reply, unsure of what was about to leave his lips, but he didn't really know what he was about to say eighty percent of the time, spitting straight bars freestyle was his life, and sometimes shit was fire and sometimes it was flat. A veritable fifty fifty toss up of feast of famine, cool or uncouth.  

But, luckily (or unluckily) for him, destiny had drawn different cards from the Tarot Deck today.  There would be no hanged men just...gigantic muscular flyboys flexing on them instead.  All he heard was a light buzz and then WHAM!  A blur of red and black came out of nowhere, breaking through what remained of the metal fencing that enclosed the pool.  The wind left Orion's lungs as a fist found itself slammed into his gut.

"Fuh-huck!"  

Fighter and fly tumbled forwards(backwards?) through the debris of the platform, Buzzswole still in the air, Orion scraping against concrete as his struggled to his feet to face the flying foe and his flurry of fists.  His foe wasn't taking it easy on him, it had the advantage and very much felt like keeping it.  Fortunately for team Cayge, Orion was just as used to taking punches as he was with handing them out, and soon, like Carl Douglas had once famously sung.

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting.  

"God fucking-" Orion ducked under a left hook and countered with a jab, making sure to bob and weave as the assault came at him with blinding speed.  He was used to throwing hands with mon at this point, but he'd cut his teeth in a region in which he didn't really need to worry about his HP which had led to him forming bad habits.  Plus, most Mon didn't know the basics of CQC, this fucking thing definitely knew what the fuck he was doing.  Gritting his teeth, Orion would do his best to block, parry, and dodge as many of the blows as he could, judging when and where he could afford to let a strike slip in.  

"DAMNIT!"  Orion hissed, feeling his anger build up inside him, he wasn't used to being on the backfoot, especially not in this game.  With a grunt he managed to plant his right foot on the swole bugs chest firmly, and with a mighty kick sent it backwards.  Behind it, Rian and Bee were in the process of getting back into the game after a brutal assault.  In theory this should be easy, it was two one and they had it flanked, but Orion knew better than to think this was clinched.  He was going to take the momentum back from this flyboy and knock his ass into the ground.  The thing flexed it's rippling muscles, almost as if to taunt Orion, before dashing forward.

It knew who the threat was.

Orion let his anger well up, and then channeled that fiery passion into raw energy that seared through his veins.  He dropped into a stance, a small ball of flame appearing over his right palm before his clenched his hand into a fist and charged to meet the creature, a flaming fist met the creatures strike and sparks literally flew as the force of their clash blew them apart again.  

"Careful Bee!"  Orion called out.  "This guy knows what the fuck is good.  We should try and strike his weaknesses where we can!"

Finally, with the blaziken joining the fight they were cooking with cook stuff, and Orion charged forward to capitalize on this new developement.  He'd been many fights in his life, and the general rule of thumb is more dudes on your side means your more likely to win.  He was pretty sure Sun Tzu had said something like that, or something.  The flyboi was busy getting some Kentucky fried kickins, sure he didn't have the time, attention, or ability to possibly block Orion's pu-

The moment he swung, the muscularito raised an arm to block the oncoming attack with a level of ease that would have made fucking Goku blush.  It was like punching a brick wall, and Orion could feel his knuckles crack slightly the force of the blocked blow shuddered up his arm and wrenched into his shoulder.  Orange was still doing their thing, and instead of some sick recreation of that one scene in civil war where bucky and Cap kicked the living shit out of Iron man it was starting to feel a lot like they were dealing with Thanos here.  After a barrage of blows that would knock the jorts off a DBZ fan, the big bug decided it was done playing defense. While still blocking Orange's kicks it parried one of Orion's oncoming jabs with it's oversized elbow before quickly pivoting into a chop into the fighters gut.

"Pha-huck!"  Orion gasped as the wind left his lungs, doubled over with pain.  Like lightning the creature grabbed Orion's face and proceeded to swing him like a meaty flail, beating a motherfucker with another motherfucker as he sent Orion flying into the bird, who in turn was sent flying back to their trainer causing a three man pileup that would surely delay someone's commute to a pokeball real fucking quick.

"I think..." Orion groaned as he scrambled to his feet off of Bee and Orange.  "That you need to have a talk with the devs about the fucking difficulty scaling of wild encounters."  Spitting out a globule of blood he dove back into the fray before the beast could get any ideas about bringing Bee into the brawl.  

Orion's feet pounded pavement as he ran up to catch with Bee and his posse.  He was salty and ready for a runback.  He raised a hand and called out to Bee, letting him know it was go time.  "Y-"

THWOOM.  

Their foe seemed impatient, not ready for them to scale the tower and come back, and thusly dove to the road below, smashing into a wrecked car and sending a cloud of shrapnel and dust into the air.  Orion quickly hit the deck, diving beneath the dust and taking cover.  When he returned, he wasn't alone.  The buzzswole was barraged with a trio of attackers.  On Orion's left was Ares, who came out the gate flinging several discarded tires at the flyboi from a vantage point.  Orion came swinging from the dust, leaping into the air and starting with a roundhouse kick to the torso before pivoting into another to the head.  The Buzzswole blocked the first one, but in the process of batting away a tire took the second kick to the jaw.  Then, out of the shadows came Achilles with a shadow sneak swinging a steel pipe and cracking it across the beasts back.

The beast released Orion's leg and he managed to land on his feet and throwing several punches.  

"PLAYTIME IS OVER CHUCKLEFUCK, IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR SHIT KICKED IN"

The Buzzswole fought till the bitter end, eating knuckle sandwiches like it was a competition, and dishing them out like he worked at a fucked up Jimmy Johns.   Still, despite the mighty power of his rippling muscles, and his intense speed, he was no match for a 6v1.  His movements began to slow from exertion, his senses dulled by the deluge of high powered water blasting into it, and while he'd proven a 2v1 was nothing for him, the combined pummeling of four mighty brawlers left him sorely at a loss for this arms race.  First TKO thwapped him across the back of the head, and he started wobbling, which led to Achilles and Nacho going for his legs while Orion shot for the sky with an uppercut.  He practically heard the bell ring as his knuckles smashed into the beasts jaw, and WHAM, he fell backwards, out like a light.

"WE DID IT!"  Orion hooted as he landed on his feet, wiping a bead of sweat from his brow.  "Fucking whooped our ass but we did it!"  

Ares let out a loud guttural screech as he slammed a tire down into the ground and started doing a touchdown dance, while Achilles simply helped Nacho back to his feet and let out a mighty roar in triumph.  Part of Orion was worried that this would turn into another fight if they made too much noise, but another part of him wished a motherfucker would try something now that the whole squad was here.

Without a second thought Orion tossed a ball to the beast, keen to add him to the team and work on unraveling whatever mystery was afoot with these creatures.  They seemed to be a key to whatever phenomenon was keeping this place free of corruption, and he was dying to figure out a way to forge his way further into Mystra and poke that monster Bee and he had found in the water plant in the eye.  

"You uh, still up for trying to bungee jump?"  Orion would ask Bee with a raised eyebrow.  "Or did you get that out of your system when he threw you off the roof?"
