ITSY VS. TIZE
“It’s the final fight of the quarter finals. And we’re also down to our last two Fiends from the Fiends For Hire. That means only one of them will be moving forward to represent their group in the semi-finals. Which will it be?”
“We’ve seen how stubborn and vengeful our first competitor can be, but all she’s itching for is a proper fight. The Wrathful Wrecking Ball, Itsy. And I wonder if our next Fiend will try to walk her out of the arena as he’s done before, or if she’ll be able to dig in her heels once more. The Reliable Refuge, Tize!”
《Xard: You know, I’m surprised that more of our group hasn’t made it past this point.》
《Drim: Well I’d mostly chalk it down to bad matchups, especially because we’ve had some of our own group fighting each other. Luck’s definitely not on our side so far. But we also don’t own the monopoly on strong Fiends. That’s never been more prevalent than now.》
《Xard: It really doesn’t help that it’s one-on-one fights either. Most of our members play off of each other's strengths. If this were group vs. group, I’d say we’d win soundly.》
《Drim: And I’d agree with you given recent events.》
《Xard: It also doesn’t help that you didn’t let Kada or I participate. We’d certainly at least have the two of us in the quarters or semi-finals. And if we never faced off before then, I have no doubt we’d be the last two in the grand finale. Okay, I can see why you didn’t let us participate.》
《Drim: And who do you think would win between the two of you?》
《Xard: I mean, well… obviously me, right?》
《Drim: I bet Kada would refute that. And I bet that if we keep talking about it, she’ll be melting down the door any second and call it slander. But maybe we’ll have to have an exhibition match in the future if you really want to back up your words.》
《Drim: Though for now, we should focus on the fight in front of us. Good luck to you both.》
Tize started off the match swapping his gun into a sniper rifle and shooting Itsy right in the forehead before the woman really realized that the fight had actually started. Not much happened. Itsy’s head whipped back slightly, and then she rubbed away the paralysis ammunition like it was a bead of sweat.
The man had expected the outcome to be as much, but he needed to prove it to himself so that he wouldn’t waste any more time in the match trying to gun her down. But Itsy did take that as an act of aggression and hopped into her monster truck. When asked by Rallie if she still really needed it, the woman answered, “Tize is too quick for me, even if I got longer legs. Gotta use this to keep up!”
Once inside, the engine revved, and the truck lurched forward. Tize pelted the vehicle with shots as it sped towards him, dodging out of the way just before he was about to get rammed. Itsy ramped up the speed for the next round, skirting all the way to the edge. But thankfully, she’d tweaked the handling to such an insane amount that the vehicle could spin around entirely in just a few feet.
But for their next encounter, Tize faced her head on and didn’t try to dodge. Instead, when she was just a few feet away, the man slid forward down onto his legs, slipping under the front grill. He kept his shield above him, to keep from getting any metal clonks to the head. But as the truck zoomed over him, he fired his gun.

The back of Itsy’s truck launched upwards when one of the tires exploded. It was sent tumbling forward, crashing out of the arena. But the giantess managed to free herself from it just in the nick of time. She was launched out the door, flung by the momentum. So she landed back on the ground with a thud that shook the entire arena. And if she hadn’t been a Fiend, her knees would have shattered to dust.
“Welp, let’s get on with it then,” Itsy just looked more annoyed than anything.
“Get on with what?” Tize asked rhetorically, but was a bit surprised yet proud that Itsy had understood the outcome.
“I got nothing left to hit you with other than my own fists. But you’re not gon’ let me do that. Your guns don’t work on me, though. So you’re gonna try to take over my body and walk me outta here like you did with Roque. No point pussyfootin around it.” She held out her arms, welcoming the parasitic entity to take hold.
And Tize did just that, he dissolved into light and wrapped around her, forging into armor along her limbs and onto her front and back. 『Synchronization Rate: 50%』 The man immediately tried to take a step forward, but unlike his last fight, Itsy wasn’t so easy. That much had been proven against her fight with Whill. The woman wouldn’t be moved if she didn’t want to be moved.
And even though the giantess had invited the armor to take hold, she wasn’t just going to let it enjoy a free ride. With one hand she grabbed at her other arm, her fingers digging into the metal plating that was fused with her skin. Once she had a good enough grip, Itsy pulled back with all of her strength.
Her skin pulled away from the rest of her arm at first, making no clear signs that the armor could be removed. But once the skin was as taught as it was going to get, she pulled even harder. Flesh started to tear, chrome blood squirted, but the woman finally managed to wrench the plate free of herself. She went to crush it in her hand, but the metal dissolved instantly back into orange light, and it didn’t reappear back on her arm.
The Wrecking Ball went to rip off another plate, but Tize hadn’t just been idly letting her fiddle with him the whole time. He may not have been able to get her to take a step forward, but he’d been working on bending her knees. Eventually, he got it lowered just enough that the wheel mechanisms of one side of the wrecking ball form would lock into place. He then spun the wheel forward.
Itsy jerked ahead a few feet, sent tumbling onto her back and the wheel went jumping into the air. As soon as the woman regained her balance and the wheel touched back down again, Tize spun it once more, but in reverse, sending Itsy flat on her face into the arena.
The Refuge took the opportunity to lock the other wheel into place and could now properly drive around. However, as soon as he tried to zoom away, he found his wheels bounce up into the air once more.
Itsy had dug her fingers into the arena floor, grabbing hold. Tize tried to reverse and floor it a few times, but the woman wouldn’t budge. So instead, he began spinning around her, twisting up her body until she was finally wedged free.
The pair zoomed forward, headed straight for the edge, but Itsy wasn’t going to accept defeat so easily. Even though Tize had entirely commandeered her legs, she still had her arms. So she flung them forward, letting the wheels run over them, acting as bumps in the road.
They went flying, and Itsy angled her body so that the one side of the wheels slammed into the ground. That certainly slowed down Tize’s movement, but it only delayed their momentum. As soon as he could get reoriented, they were moving again. This time, Itsy tried grabbing the wheels to stop them, only to recoil from the damage to her fingers that were now ripped open and bleeding.
That was just the advantage that Tize needed. Since the giantess could no longer try and rip off his pieces, he just needed to time everything right. They made for the edge again. And when Itsy tried to use her body as a bump once more, Tize was ready, quickly reversing to forcibly keep her upright.
It became a balancing act—trying to make for the arena’s edge while also keeping the giant woman’s torso from becoming a hindrance. There was a lot of starting and stopping, reversing and sudden sways, but they eventually made it to the end.
Both Itsy and Tize were sent flying forward when the man unsynced them. The soldier managed to catch himself with his feet, stumbling a bit, but stopping just a step short of falling out of the arena. Itsy desperately tried to grab onto the floor, but her bloody fingers simply slipped and caused her to tumble out of bounds.
“Tize wins, and with that, we’re moving onto the semi-finals tomorrow morning. Just two more fights to go and then we’re headed straight for the grand finale! It’s going to be an exciting day tomorrow. We’ll finally see our victor crowned and their wish granted. Who will be the lucky winner?! Stay tuned to find out!”

Itsy: For my family to be taken care of, and to start a monster truck rally that I can never be banned from!
