Round Two was shaping up to be really good. Here was to hoping the Realigner was as entertaining as he promised to be.
...Honestly, Capper felt bad for Cipher for being pit against this big bad right away."In the Major League we have Cipher 24 and Realigner Red battling in Round Two!"

The crowd was letting out a mighty roar. Porsalynne had to cover her ears to block out the din, though she couldn't blame them. This match offered to be an exciting one. But for Porsalynne, she only felt anxious. She had no doubts about her husband's combat abilities, but his opponent sent shivers down her spine. She remembered the panic and destruction he had inflicted on the galaxy, having to send Charlene off world for her protection. Just thinking of it all made her nervous. Even if Cipher had gotten stronger since then, he was still fighting aversion oh him.
Then she saw him. Cipher stepped out into the ring, the crowd cheering. Next to her, Charlene lept to her feet. "Go on dad!" she yelled out, "Kick his ass!" Porsalynne couldn't help but nod. If only she had her daughter's confidence.
Cipher 24's face was grim as he stepped into the ring. Unlike his previous opponent, he knew who he would be fighting here. The thought of it all left a bad taste in his mouth. But at the same time, this also provided a unique opportunity. He had a lot of beef with his own universe's counterpart right now, especially with recent events. And now, he was presented with one of the most acceptable targets in the multiverse. On one hand, the android was disgusted with his opponent. On the other hand, he felt almost...giddy?
His expression was set in stone, his four hands flexing as his purple eyes looked at his opponent.
"Realigner Red."

Down from the sky, Realigner Red appeared.
He was fully decked out in battered and war-cracked royal Saiyan armor, which he’d stripped from the corpse of the Vegetan queen in his own timeline.
“I hate this place already,” Realigner Red grunted as he landed spryly in front of Cipher 24 . He straightened, one fist on his hip, the other tapping the side of scouter. "Whoa, four arms? Nerd alert."
“Boop beep boop a doop beeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEP,” The small scarlet-haired android intoned, jabbing the scan button over and over on his stolen scouter, his mismatched eyes glaring dully through the scroll. “HOLY PEPPERONI! YOUR POWER LEVEL IS A HUNDRED GILLIONNNN!" He screeched, eyes going wide and mouth hanging open. Then, his face broke into a conspiratorial grin, leaning forward on the toes of his boots. “That’s what they’re all like, am I right? Right before you KILL THEM.” The last words came out as a mad bark. “They go all googly eyed and hysterical. Huehuehue.”
He pointed two gloved fingers at Cipher, digits waggling, eyes squinting. “You worked for the Blue Boy, didn't you? Still around and kicking in your Universe, is he? Somehow bested me, Bozos Being A-Holes?” His lips twisted into a scowl before a smile stretched insanely wide, and he pointed to a black gap in his white teeth. “In the real Universe, this is the only trouble Earth gave me. Major drag, cause I'm pretty sure I disintegrated the tooth fairy. But it’s okay. I was still able to wolf down the rest of the galaxy. Those Super Saiyans gave me some heartburn, but hey, that's what drinking Majins are for, right?”
Without waiting for an answer he began his attack, throwing himself at Cipher with a mad hurl of speed, body a blur as he stabbed at his opponent with a whirlwind of fists. "DIE!"KP: 3/3 PL: 500,00

It had been a while since Cipher had last seen Realigner Red. He remembered him being a maddened, twisted version of Vipoi, all his negative traits heightened and twisted into a mad abomination. But Cipher had forgotten just how ANNOYING he was. Cipher's expression fell to one of exasperated annoyance. He rolled his eyes, one of his hands even making a mocking 'talking' motion as Red prattled on. Yes, yes, he survived in his universe and went on to conquer it. Big whoop. Other universes had had similar scenarios. Bing, Zucceta, the Mazoku, even Shemha. Red wasn't anything special compared to them, and to be honest he wasn't impressed. Then the android charged at him. Cipher was ready. After all, he remembered how psychotically impulsive the android was. As Red closed in and lashed out, Cipher responded in kind. No fighting defensively this time. Cipher was matching offense with offense. First crashed into eachother as Cipher matched him blow for blow. The equalizing factor of the tournament made them evenly matched, and in a straight up punch up, having four fists was better than two. Cipher began to push back, trying to force the mad android on the defensive. "You know, it's funny," he said, his voice calm despite the violence, "For all your yammering, you either went out like a little bitch, or never even got the chance to exist. I don't know about you, but I consider one out of nineteen to be a colossal failure!" He swung a fist out, aiming to punch Realigner Red right in his smug, irritating face. ------- PL: 500,000 KP - 3/3 Realigner Red |

Realigner Red laughed and snorted each time Cipher’s fists collided with his frame. It felt realllll good to be in mortal peril again. Dead stuff was just too boring.
With each incoming blow, he made sure to trade out his own, firing up-close blasts of electron-converted ki, fighting in the mad and unconventional style of the virus – with a total disregard for himself, a gleeful hunger for murder, and with his body twisting in a herky-jerky juke and jive. When Cipher threw his haymaker, Realigner Red opened his jaw inhumanly wide and bit down on the knuckles as hard as he can.
“I’m the failure? YER THE FAILURE SON! I’m benching you for the rest of the season,” He spat with disgust. “You haven’t hit a homerun in your whole life, even after me and your mah sold the farm so you could buy an extra set of arms!”
He flung himself forward in a wheeling kick, heel slicing through the air at the top of Cipher’s head like a megaton guillotine.

Realigner Red's fighting style was as predictable as his personality. As fists flew between them, the mad android was unleashing ki blasts from close range! Cipher's additional arms let him bat some aside, blowing out chunks of the floor. Others however exploded between them. Nothing too damaging, considering they were both taking hits from the unpredictable android's carelessness. As he swung his punch, his eyes widened as his jaw opened up and bit down on his fist. It wasn't so much the pain (it really wasn't that bad to be honest) as the surprise that he actually modified himself to do that. Well, this was Realigner Red after all. Cipher sharply pulled his fist back, opening to possibly yank some teeth loose. Then followed another string of babbling from Realigner Red, calling him a failure and bringing up his extra arms. Then he lunged to attack... And Cipher caught the leg just inches from his head. He gripped his leg tightly, staring straight at the android in front of him. "I'll have you know, the extra arms were your idea!"Gripped his leg tightly, Cipher moved to swing and slam Realigner Red into the floor like a club. A loud, very insulting club. Sure, it was crude, but Cipher had a lot of frustration to let out. "You didn't even tell me before hand. You just had them do it while I was asleep!" He shouted as he tried to slam him into the floor over and over, "I mean, who does that? What's next? Installing a rocket launcher in Nova's ass? Making Chai's horns radio antennae?"------ Puny Red... KP - 3/3 Realigner Red |

“Me? Meeeee?” Realigner Red exclaimed, his eyes flaring with electricity. "Who you callin ME?" He booted at Cipher’s hand, swatting it away as he tried to grapple it, spinning down to his feet. “I’m N O T the Blue Boy, you daffy loser! He’s DEAD! I WON AND YOU ALL LOST!” He roared, mismatched irises fluttering like police sirens now, the vibrant colors swapping back and forth. The viral lines coursing across his body flared with a sickly vermillion light. “I ANNIHILATED THE WEAKLING, JUST LIKE I SCRUBBED YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC FAMILY OUT!” The voice was now a low inhuman droning, an electric, buzzing groan that rang out across the entire arena.
The virus coursing through his machine heart festered with hate, a billion-trillion digital worms writhing in insane rage at being compared to the life he’d thoroughly extinguished. This was HIS body now. This was HIS world.
Screaming with rage, Realigner Red opened up his arm at the elbow, sending out a fan of pulsing chi from a long, gun-like barrel.

It seemed Cipher had struck a nerve, sending Realigner Red into a rage filled rant. Despite his protests, there was another startling similarity between him and Vipoi. They were both thin skinned. Seriously, one would have expected them to be better than that. And then the demented android mentioned Cipher's family... His expression hardened. He was aware a version of him existed in their universe. A twisted, monstrous caricature of himself. But he never stopped to think about that universe's Porsalynne and Charlene. Now he knew what happened. As Realigner Red unloaded with his machine gun arms, his attack would be met with a wall of pale green ki. A barrier separating the two. From behind the wall, Cipher's eyes glowed with a controlled fury as he glared at him. "You know, I noticed something interesting when we beat you in our universe. I mean, apart from you breaking down like a whiny little bitchling." Cipher's voice was flat, his anger boiling beneath the surface. "Before you went capoot, the REAL Vipoi broke through. That's what's bothering you isn't it? Vipoi still exists within you, and you're just waiting in fear for when he finally drives you out."Cipher snarled, "And believe me, he will. After all, Vipoi is a real, living entity. While YOU on the other hand are just glorified malware, hijacking a body you did nothing to deserve!"The barrier shattered as Cipher burst through, throwing a flurry of rage fueled blows at the demented android. While Cipher had little love for Vipoi, he would absolutely destroy this horrific glitch. Because NOBODY hurt his family and gets away with it! ------ Rodin's Gate [N1] used to negate the attack.

“Real?” Realigner Red laughed. “You don’t know what real is! I’m all there is. It’s meeeeeee.” The words ended in a strange squeal as Cipher burst through his shield and landed a few blows against the android’s hardened frame. Realigner Red fought back with gleeful abandon, thrilled at the prospect of creating his own little universe of suffering.
“You’re pathetic. And I’m one of a kind. Some million-trillion lines of code made me. The Blue Boy was just a little blip compared to me. Incidental! A booger I flicked right out the window of time. The only reason I’m remotely connected with him is because he’s the only Red Ribbon frame left, the only radio that can play my song, the last box of crackerjacks that has my special prize. I’m the master plan, you see.” His eyes widened as bolts of fiery chi leapt from them, screeching at Cipher’s head.
He grinned insanely. “You’re a little puppet, that’s all. A sputtering punchline dancing at the end of my thread. Maybe I’ll make you dance again.”
He began to move with real effort now, the cold experience of a thousand battles against the galaxy’s deadliest foes – Saiyans, Namekians, Arcosians, the last gasp of Earthlings, his trashing of his Universe’s Cipher too – all of this poured out and combined with the shifting labyrinths of broken logic in his mind, those frayed data points expressed in each wild swing of his fist, each cockeyed angle of a bendy roundhouse, each vomit of chi that leapt from his mouth in blood-red discs.
And beneath it all, a dark presence began to slowly shed all of its masks. Beneath the jokes, beneath the hijinks, beneath the thing wearing Vi-Poi’s corpse, below all of the cheeky mannerisms that rubbed off on the virus and twisted weirdly, was the naked truth. Cipher 24 was wrong. Everything inside of Realigner Red was dead. He was a void, his psyche the stuff beyond the edge of the universe, the permanent death or the never-alive, his core not a brain or even a dark heart but a zillion spreading roots born from a seed of unchanging, unwavering malice.
Beneath the raging whirlwind, the red android was as cold and empty as anything ever was. The virus was something that should have never been, an intelligent death, yearning to spread.

"Oh, forgive my error. You're outdated malware!" The rest of Realigner Red's insane ramblings went ignored as the two fought. Every blow met with a defense. Every blast of ki, Cipher avoided as he returned his own. The two were at a stalemate as they fought. Realigner Red was not the only one with plenty of experirnce. Cipher had fought enemies stronger thwn him. Bigger than him. More of them. And he had learned from it, grown stronger from it. For all his life, he had known Vipoi to be one of the strongest in the universe, either being on par, or stronger than most. He suspected Realigner Red had spent his entire existence punching downward, while Cipher had spent his punching upward. But as synthetic fist met with synthetic fist, Cipher began to notice something. All the jokes, all the rage, seemed to melt away from Realigner Red. It was then he could see what Realigner Red truly was. "So that's what you are..."Cipher's eyes hardened as any sense of rage left his face. "You say I'm pathetic, that you're one of a kind. But it's the exact opposite really. I'm not just a bunch of random coding. I actually live. I am life. You on the other hand? You're just a mindless program, running through its functions. You're good at pretending, but at the end of the day you're no different from a computer, a fighter jet or a tank."
"In the end, you're nothing compared to me!"Cipher's upper arms disconnected, floating off to the sides, firing ki blasts towards the hollow android from multiple angles, as Cipher continued his assault from the front. For the longest time, he had seen Realigner Red as some twisted evil. A manic corruption of his friend. The truth was kind of disappointing. ---------- Phantom Limbs [SU1] used. Disconnected upper arms to attack from all angles. KP - 3/3 (+1 from no tech usage) Realigner Red

Realigner Red had enough.
He had enough of this four-armed freak with his stupid birdy hair and his stupid dinky feelings. He’d had enough of the stupid bird-aliens that brought him here – also, you guessed it, they had stupid birdy hair – and the crowd full of jeering chirps.
He’d agreed to do this game because, quite honestly, things got a little boring after you killed everything. And maybe, in his dead machine heart-of-hearts, he really did want to find the Dragon Balls and fulfill his ultimate wish. He never got to in his own Universe. He’d killed everything too fast and gotten a little overexcited and forgotten about them until it was too late.
The insane android let the detached arms drum on him, his pain sensors fluttering red indicators in front of his eyes. The red felt good.
“I can do that with my arms too!” Realigner Red exclaimed, letting his arm unhinge at the elbow after getting clobbered across the face by a particularly hard hook. “See?” He waved the broken arm at Cipher, giggling before leaping forward, closing close and raising the dark bore of the chi conduit. “Seeee!”
The Supa Bazooka screeched out with a loud electric ZAK!, a fountain of red chi as negative as the ass-end of a battery spewing forth and fanning out towards Cipher in a disorderly hose of energy. Even if it was dodged, Realigner Red was happy for the fact that he might get to see some of the audience blown to bits by the huge cannon beam.

Realigner Red wasn't the only one done with this fight, though for a different reason. When Cipher stepped into the ring, he had expected some catharsis for at least beating on a version of his former boss, and a twisted, evil version at that. But this wasn't the case. All he was was a decrepit program, running around in his friend's body. Something that Cipher once saw as an ultimate evil, now something beneath his notice. He just wanted to end this charade, so he could move on. When Realigner Red detached his arm, suddenly lunging forward and firing off a blast of ki, Cipher 24 seemed to vanish, the blast phasing through an afterimage, rocketing towards the stands. From the sidelines, Porsalynne and Charlene watched in horror as the attack shot towards the terrified spectators. And then suddenly it slammed into something. An invisible force stopping the attack dead. As Realigner Red's ki dissipated, she could see the rippling along the barrier before it vanished. The female android breathed a sigh of relief. Of course. In a tournament filled with powerful fighters, including psychopaths, it made sense there was something to protect the audience. Charlene smirked. "Yeah! Suck it you malfunctioning tin can!" she yelled out, before being pulled back into her seat by his mother. Meanwhile, Cipher 24 appeared off to Realigner Red's side, lunging towards him. Green energy formed in his right fist. Though he expected the barriers to be there to begin with, the fact that the demented android showed such flagrant disregard angered him even further. "Get out of my ring!" he growled, swinging the ki charged fist, a technique created for giant opponents, right at Realigner Red's face, intent on sending him flying. Afterwards his dislocated arms would fire off ki blasts, to try and blast this pathetic parody out of the ring. -------- Afterimage [SU1] used to avoid the attack. Atlas Fist [UP2] used, 330,000 PL fist right into RR's twisted face. Intent on knocking him out of the ring. KP - 0/3 Realigner Red |

Ornee blinked awkwardly. The time patroller who'd been commentating the matches had never come back from his bathroom break, leaving the Vargas all alone at the desk.
He squawked nervously as the timer clanged, noting the end of the match. Uncertainty in his talons, he clicked a button, and moved up to the microphone.
"Ahem-- The winner is... Uh... Cipher 24!"
