"a thing of immortal make, not human, lion-fronted and snake behind, a goat in the middle." (Alani!)
Jubilee should have learned by now. Saying things like "What's the worst that could happen?" when getting roughly man-handled by some three-eyed mutants towards the arena entrance was tempting fate. Granted, fate had already fucked them over yet again, but still. She'd looked over towards Alani, in a similar situation, and tried to give her friend a reassuring grin. "We've dealt with a lot of really messed up things, it'll be fiiiiine." Okay, so Jubes didn't necessarily believe it'd be fine, but she did have faith that whatever this was going to be it was something they could handle.
She kept that thought up even as she was tossed on ceremoniously onto the sandy ground of the Colosseum beside Alani, heard the roar of the packed crowd, and had the big entrance doors slammed shut behind them.
Yup. Totally fine!
You know, until the chimeras showed up.
"Ah fuck." The two story-tall beasts roared, causing Jubes to flinch, upon their entrance from an elevator hidden in the arena floor. At least Mojo was sticking with the mythological version so far as Jubes could tell, with the quadrupedal beasts sporting head's of lions, with a secondary goat's head protruding from it's back. It's long serpentine tails ended with a snake's head. Of course, the leathery wings would allow the things to take flight too as if things weren't bad enough.
"Okay, okay, we've got this," Jubilee said, both to reassure Alani and herself. She raised her hands, and felt the familiar pulse and power of her unrestrained fireworks shooting upwards in a dazzling display the crowd ate up. At least these assholes weren't lying about getting their powers back in the arena itself. The second surge of streaming lights was directed at the leftmost chimera, smacking it in the lion's head and causing it to growl even as it took a step back.
Score one for the good guys! It was all well and good until the goat's head on it's back swiveled, and fired lasers from it's eyes proving that these definitely weren't just mythological representations. Fortuitously, she'd dove to the side that ended in a roll as the lasers turned the sand where she'd been to glass. Great! Just great!
