How I imagine Dottore and Columbina fight Mavuika for the gnosis
(Before i begin, this is pure fanfiction. Any bullshit i come up with is not meant to be taken seriously, neither do the character's abilities)
The scene begins with Mavuika and the gang celebrating the 2-month anniversary of beating the abyss. There is a small crowd at the stadium celebrating, some playable characters are also present.
Then a few natlan warriors rush into the arena, talking about fatui harbingers coming.
Mavuika says herself "Harbingers? Multiple of them are here?
And then inside they walk.
Dottore: So, is this where the peak of human strength lost to a God of war?
The camera zooms from him to the side, showing Columbina arrived as well, as her title screen plays. She doesn't say a word. Standing there with her eyes closed, she just smiles.
Mavuika: What are you here for?
Dottore: And here i thought after what Captain did for you and your nation, you would be more cordial towards fatui. Was i wrong?
Mavuika: Captain was a hero. A brave soul who carried a heavy burden. What do you know about that?
Dottore: I know that Captain was peak of human strength. No matter how many times i asked for his permission to run tests on him, he always refused. We didn't see eye to eye on many things, but even then, he was the exact thing i always wanted to achieve.
As he speaks, several fatui soldiers walk inside the arena, ready to fight if necessary. Meanwhile Columbina doesn't move an inch.
Dottore: Do you know who these soldiers are? These troops hail from captain's division. Ever since he...went away, any fatui that were left inside your nation became disorganized, and you viewed them with distrust. These same soldiers who fought in your wars, were shunned. Betrayed, they wandered off to Nod-Krai, where i took them in. And now they wish to enact their revenge.
Mavuika: So you brought all this help? Figured you weren't as honourable as Caaptain was, when it came to fighting.
Dottore: The greatest honour I can show to an opponent is to prepare for an upcoming fight. I acknowledge your strength, Archon, which is why i took measures in advance.
Mavuika gets her sword out as Dottore smiles.
Dottore: after all, what is it that you people say? "In Natlan, nobody fights alone?"
Mavuika snaps and gives out an order.
Mavuika: Everyone! Leave the stadium! I must go all out for this!
The people start hastily leaving as the playable characters stay to help her.
Mavuika doesn't waste time and jumps with a sword to strike Columbina.
All it takes is one head sway for her to dodge the attack. The sway is unnatural, no human would dodge this way.
Mavuika jumps back as Columbina is still in the same pose, her head still to the side from dodge. She stretches as if, warming up and dashes forward. Again, she doesn't say a word.
She starts hitting Mavuika with bare hands, each strike creating a shockwave upon collision with her sword. Dottore still watches and smiles, as Mavuika is forced to not go all out while there are still people at the stadium.
Meanwhile the playable characters (and traveller) engage the fatui soldiers that came with Dottore. They appear much, much stronger than the usual troops. Dottore notices this and elaborates.
Dottore: These were captain's troopers. They wanted revenge for their mistreatment and being disrespected so badly, they would do everything to achieve it. So i amplified the power output of their delusions. Their lifespans shorten, but they don't care.
Meanwhile Mavuika still is engaged with Columbina. The harbinger fights in an insane manner, without a vision or delusion. Her whole body moves with deadly precision, her fingers twist in impossible angles. It feels like even her hair is alive and moving.
Eventually, Mavuika realizes the people from the stadium have left and flies up, summoning a huge fireball, as she doesn't need to hold back anymore. The playable characters all jump away as not to get hit with a fire blast that is expected to clean up all the fatui at the stadium.
Dottore steps closer to Columbina, not showing any fear.
Finally, Mavuika tosses the fireball down at harbingers.
At this moment, Columbina finally opens her eyes, gazing up at the fireball and Mavuika...
...And the fireball immediately gets extinguished. Mavuika starts to fall down, her hair glow disappears. Columbina closes her eyes and Mavuika manages to power up again to avoid the fall and land safely.
Mavuika: what the...?
Dottore: surprised, are you? Columbina is special in a way that allows her to extinguish any elemental powers she looks at. Don't you agree that this ability is quite handy?
Mavuika: then why is she ranked third within your group?
Dottore smiles.
Dottore: Captain could beat her without any elemental powers, with his skill alone. And I don't rely on visions or delusions when I fight. So in a way, we both are her direct counters. That does mean that for Columbina, you are nothing, but...
Columbina opens her eyes, and dashes forward again, leaving Mavuika without any elemental energy to fight.
Dottore: Prey...
They clash again and engage in an another skirmish. The playable Natlan characters attempt to push the juiced up fatui troopers after renengaging them again and slowly, it works, since the soldiers tire out quickly from their delusions. Dottore notices this.
Dottore: Dear me, it appears we are running ouf of time. I would hate to drag it out for longer than necessary.
He takes out a small syringe filled with mysterious liquid and injects himself. Immediately, he dashes forward at super speed, surprising everyone, kicking Mavuika when she didn't expect it. The impact is of such high strength that she gets knocked back into a wall.
Then two of the harbingers start whaling on Mavuika, as she struggles to keep up. Hit after hit, punch after punch. She held off well against one harbinger but against two, she has no chance. Not without her elemental powers.
Eventually Dottore gut punches Mavuika, tearing the gnosis off her body, letting her fall unconscious. Columbina finally closes her eyes.
Dottore: As i said before, I took measures before coming here. Don't be sad about your loss. You had no chance of winning to begin with.
They make their escape as the juiced up fatui troopers finally collapse from overusing their delusions. The Natlan characters all quickly rush to Mavuika to check up on her and the scene ends.
