The Battle for the Sandwich

Named had no metal in him except the iron in his blood. He shedded the blue luxin on his feet and replaced it with green. He sprinted towards Ashkaloda, streaming red luxin from his shoulders and heels to propel himself faster.

At the edge of the arena, Sandy appeared. Careful not to interfere with the duel, he picked up one brick from the arena and disappeared again.

~

To make the duel effective in both universes, Clone began to tie the threads of the universes back together. Clone's clone in the other universe helps him. They should be done before the duel is over.

Ashkaloda kindly points out to Named that Bartholomew is participating in the duel, not himself. He snaps his fingers, and Named is now sprinting in the right direction. Bartholomew turns to him, waving his hand, and slicks the ground with Oobleck.

I am disappointed by the lack of interesting comments and steal the Sandwich as a result.

Herr Federflugüberwachungsbehördenleiter von Hochdachfenstersims pokes his head in and looks around. He coos and goes back to whatever a God-Pigeon does. Eating godly bread pieces?

Of course, the only bread pieces suitable for one of his stature come from the most godly of bread—that on the sandwich.

Oops

In a maneuver similar to something a Coinshot would do, Named hurled red luxin downwards from the soles of his feet, and more luxin backwards from his shoulders. He ended up doing a flip mid-air, and diving straight towards Bartholomew, his flaming sword in front of him.

Trout, deciding that methane was very good rocket fuel, started a space program on Titan.

From the stands, I applaud Named for style points. Bartholomew throws up a wall of Oobleck in front of him that hardens on contact with the air. He steps sideways, cracking his whip at Named while keeping one eye on Jerome to make sure he doesn’t try anything. The advantages of having eyes on the side of your head know no bounds. 
 

…wouldn’t the methane in the atmosphere be flammable, or am I just being daft?

Named hurls red luxin at the wall, trying to slow himself down, to no avail. He slams into the wall, though not before the oobleck catches fire from Named's sword. The oobleck combusts in an explosion that throws both Named and Bartholomew back.

Fortunately for Named, his armour takes some of the damage, but it is still painful. Wincing, he gets up and re-drafts his sword, which he'd lost in the explosion.

There's no oxygen to burn it, except inside the rocket. That is how the rocket'll work.

Jerome watches as both opposing duelists are thrown back in the oobleck explosion. He decides to shoot a handful of coins at each of them to test their powers. He doen't know much about what they can do and needs to find out fast.

The coins hit Named in the back. The blue luxin absorbs most of the blow, but Named is still sent staggering forward. Resisting the urge to tap gold, Named spins around, a grin on his face (though it's hidden behind the armour), as he drafts a shield from blue luxin and charges towards Jerome.

Bartholomew, still stumbling a bit from the unexpected explosion, manages to dive out of the way. Too late, though, to stop two of the coins from hitting him. They bounce off his scales, not cutting, but with enough force to leave a nasty bruise. Grimacing inasmuch as a fish can, Bartholomew charges toward Jerome.

I show up again, not quite sure whats going on, soon to re-dissapear, and nom the sandwich in my mouth before running away and depositing it at sanderson's doorstep before running off into the distance. 

 

Hello again! I'm gonna start coming back onto the shard but still not as much as I used to in Oct-Nov. Sorry I've been gone for a few months. You have been missed

Named shot red luxin down, launching him upwards. He hurled more red luxin at both Jerome and Bartholomew

Red luxin is heavy and sticky, the former being why Named uses it for coinshot-like stuff. It is also flammable.

I visit Sanderson's doorstep, politely explain my situation, and he gives the Sandwich to me.

A sandcaterpillar pops up behind you from where it was hiding in a bush and snatches the sandwich from your hand.

I snatch the Sandwich back because I am mad.

Which one's the evil bastard, Herr Federflugüberwachungsbehördenleiter von Hochdachfenstersims or Odium?

I snatch some breadcrumbs from a passing child on the way to feed the ducks and give them some seeds instead.

I am very grateful and immediately break my foot by accidentally dropping all the them.

I have absolutely no idea how much that is. Is it going to break my foot alone, or should I Lash them down to increase the force?
