JC's Argument:

Alright friends here goes mercenaries! I apologize for how long this argument is, gotta go big for the first match.

The Terrain I dont think Jungle Japes is particularly worth worrying about. Lots of moderately open spaces, a few more confined ones, but very big in that N64 platformer kind of way. Ideal for medium-short distance fighting, which is perfect for Aigis. Most importantly, Aigis can track the enemies through DK.

Anyways the match starts with several things happening. Just to be clear in case anyone thinks it is happening, Mario has not been mind controlled by Bowser because he is immune to negative effects from first party Nintendo characters. Anyways, the start of battles :

• Aigis is hit by Psychic and a DK Punch. She absolutely no-sells Psychic beyond its effect because steel types are resistant to psychic type attacks. Being frazzled doesnt matter because of the terrain. The DK Giant Punch also doesnt take her out. It wouldnt really matter either way because Crono has revive and would just revive her. She heals herself to full once she is unfrazzled.
• Mewtwo is hit by the devastatingly strong but devastatingly named Burst Smite, which is a combination of Heritage Liberator Palladion (composed by zts) and Luminaire. Here are clips of both moves, but obviously the dual tech looks different so I will try to describe my vision of it the best I can.

• The move starts by Crono beginning to channel his light magic, a glow slowly expanding outward. Immediately in front of him, Aigis summons Palladion (P4U) who is imbued with a golden light. Palladion charges at Mewtwo, impaling them on her spear. She slowly arcs upwards towards the sky, leaving a golden trail. Aigis readies her Palladion Cannon, which is now imbued with the same golden light as Palladion. Lightning bolts fire from Cronos hands through a glittering gold effervescence into the back of the cannon as Aigis charges her shot.
• Aigis aims upwards and fires a tremendous bolt of golden light and lightning upwards at the sky at a sharp angle, maybe like 15 degrees short of vertical. In the distance, Palladion is now flying vertically into the clouds. Aigis shot pierces the clouds. The shot slowly curves down, the flight paths of Aigis shot and Palladion appearing to intersect shortly. Through the clouds you can faintly see the glowing arcs getting closer and closer and closer. They collide. The heavens cry out. What starts as a tiny flash grows into a big one, which emits a burst of lighting that clears the clouds. Through the lightning and dissolving mist, an incredible rainbow fractal effect is created and lingers as the lightning seemingly collapses into the middle, followed by a final explosion and burst of light.
• Sunbeams pierce the sky as the light clears and you can see Mewtwos body suspended by seemingly nothing at all in the middle of the prismacolor glow, and he falls to the ground gracefully, psychically, and dead.

I will address SCENARIOS depending on Mewtwos survival.

Scenario 1 Mewtwo is dead.

The most probable scenario, in all honesty. This dual tech is a combination of Aigis Instant Kill (which as per mercs magic would not have its instant kill effect, Im not that dirty) from P4U and Cronos strongest light magic. Its tremendously strong, and the person straight up gets impaled and then shot. Even if its viewed as a magical attack/summon kinda thing its still devastating.

This scenario is a bit of a rout. Aigis knows where DK is, Mario Cappies into DK when the teams meet, so its Aigis + Crono + DK (Mario) vs Bowser, and then DK remains vs. my whole team.

Scenario 2 Mewtwo isnt dead.

Ive saved more detail for this scenario despite my personal opinion being that it is unlikely. If Mewtwo doesnt survive, he has Recover and self-buffs. I have to admit that. Fortunately, Aigis has team-wide damage, evasion, and defense buffs. She also has a team-wide enemy defense debuff.

Aigis tracks the enemy team and as my team approaches, Mario prepares the Blue shell. When theyre at a safe distance, Mario releases it and my team leaps into action as it explodes on the enemies. It targets first place, so obviously it targets the strongest merc on the enemy team. It goes for Mewtwo. Mewtwo, DK, and Bowser are now scrambling because theyre either getting hit by or getting out of the way of the Blue Shell explosion. My team leaps into action in the panic and DK gets Cappied. Mario realistically goes for Bowser because obviously. I wont even try to pretend he goes after Mewtwo. So Bowser and DK are brawling, leaving Mewtwo all on his own. Mewtwo will struggle to keep up against a fully buffed Crono and Aigis tag teaming him, especially given that hes caught out by the Blue Shell and his inclination likely being to use psychic attacks on Aigis initially, which I must repeat, are 0.5x as effective against Steel types, aka Aigis implicitly.

If Mewtwo can survive even 15 seconds, his allies wont be able to come to his aid. Mario pops out of DK leaving Bowser to confusedly attack his ally. Mario pops out of DK leaving Bowser to confusedly attack his ally. While they untangle themselves, at his ability-designated safe distance Mario uses his Mega Mushroom and then the Lightning Bolt from Mario Kart, briefly causing all of his enemies to spin out, shrink, and move slower. Whether he physically crushes DK and Bowser or blasts them with his now-also-giant Dual Slingers, I trust his judgment, theyre toast to Mario alone. Mario proves that he is the true King of Nintendo.

Mewtwo being spun out, shrunk, and slowed also allows Crono and Aigis to deal the killing blow, thus concluding the match.
