[Seikyu Kiba]

Rules of the RP:


1. No God modding...if we see you God modding so help you.
2. Please limit your posts to at least 4 a day.

8. Have fun!


Note: I will be taking control of everyones characters in this post and this post ONLY, Oh and Nobody you will be starting inside the building with the announcers and Rock Howard...so my announcer will tell you to get the Healer army and yourself and start spreading out.

SPECIAL FIGHTERS: If you noticed in Tetsano's and My posts we have been referring to somethings in the building. Well, in Tetsano's post a person called Gallows was released. These are Special Fighters, Special fighters are those that are fighters that are fighting for Rock Howard to give the challengers a hard time. These special fighters are powerful and cannot be beaten easily if you lose a fight the special fighter returns to the building, same as if you win. There are MANY special fighters, Gallows is just one of the many that I have in store for you. Beating a special fighter gives you nice bonuses that can help you on the island. Tetsano, Shobu, Maru and I all pick the targets these special fighters will go after, however it's random so be on the lookout.

NOTE: GALLOWS IS ALWAYS OUT ON THE FIELD, MYSELF, TETSANO, MARU AND SHOBU WILL BE TAKING CONTROL OF HIM UNTIL WE PICK OUR TARGET!



IC:


Talus Island sat in the middle of the Great Ocean, awaiting something...something big, in the distance a Helicopter was on its way towards the island. Inside, were some of the greatest fighters from around the world, itching to fight for their own personal reasons.


Once the helicopter landed on the island, the back opened up, and each fighter stepped out cautiously. Confused to see, absolutely nothing around them except trees and sand...and the occasional shell. Startling everyone a large tremor shook everything around them, and with that tremor came a stage with 5 people standing on it: an old man, a pretty young girl, a hermaphrodite, a strange mech type thing and the current Champion of King Of Fighters: Rock Howard.


The old man stepped forward towards the microphone, he spoke in a loud and booming voice as the song "Oh Angel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9s_fB3hrU4) started to play loudly the old announcer said:


"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 10th annual King Of Fighters Tournament located on Talus Island, though the previous King Of Fighters tournament ended with Rock Howard becoming the current champion, he is now wanting to pass down this title to someone new, but this won’t be easy Talus Island you must survive the wilderness, Snakes, Crocodiles, Poisonous spiders, poisonous frogs, and other deadly things. Do you have what it takes to win? First off let me explain what the tournament is about!

The King of Fighters Tournament is showing everyone that you are in fact the strongest fighter to ever exist, by defeating as many opponents as possible, and eventually working your way up to the current King of Fighters champion. If you lose, then you will have to wait and compete next year, but if you win, you earn the title The King of Fighters, plus 1 million dollars.

Point System: Each fighter will be given a point for each match they win, along with each match they lose. If you receive more points then anyone else by the end of the tournament, you are chosen to fight Rock Howard.

Now onto the rules:

1. You must continue fighting it doesn’t matter if you lose a fight or not, go to the nearest healing station and get medical attention (Healers have the ability to heal all wounds of the body.)

2. No killing your challenger, if you kill them it's automatic ejection from the tournament, and possibly other bad things.

3. Each fighteris given a watch, when the watch goes off, press the orange button on the side, a holo projection will appear and your opponents will be and their current location. If your watch breaks...well then you will have to wait until your opponents finds you.

4. Weapons are allowed however, no fire arms, swords and blunt objects are allowed.

5. There is no rule on what style of fighting you are able to use.

6. No cheating, an example of this would be...if you're on a bridge and you set explosives under it so your opponent falls into the water. That's an automatic ejection.

7. If you are unable to fight on (becoming unconscious, dying etc.)…we aren’t responsible for that."



The old man smiled as a black and red stripped Kangaroo came hopping out at what seemed like the speed of light. He stopped and stared at everyone with his shining golden eyes. He turned towards the announcers. The old man tossed the Kangaroo a collar..it looked like a communication collar. When that was out of the way the announcer spoke into the mic and said "Ladies and Gentlemen my name is Hadou Kenshin, and next to me is the lovely Chuumi but you may call her "Chuu" and next to her is Kamakiri Shinsengumi Tom, but you may call him Tom. Standing next to Tom is Samuel Knowles our leader of the Healer unites, and next to him who needs NO introduction is the legendary champion of the current king of fighters...Rock Howard!"



Rock Howard waved with an eger smile, it looked as if he was burning for a good fight he of course was wearing nothing like he orignally had in the previous tournament. His hair was longer and he was wearing a yellow jacket with black stripes, blue jeans and a white t shirt underneat the jacket.



Hadou smiled and spoke again "Please everyone, once I call your name please come up and get your watch, and then you are free to move throughout the island, HOWEVER, located somewhere in the forest is a large building, fighters are not allowed near that building." He then took out a list with everyones names and begane to name off each person:


1.Ives James
2.Dyne Locke Ordon
3.Grey Winters
4.Zakai Varna
5.Alvaro Ambrosio
6.Talon Winstrate
7.Armondo Velazques
8.Mizer
9.Alice
10.Jace Olka
11.Trish Lovegood
12.Lady Scorpio
13.Kissa Kokubo
14.Odion Kokubo
15.Sidhe, Rathnait
16. Riku
17.Nilhelm Kafka

After the announcer called everyone and recieved their watches he said "The tournament will start in two hours, everyone you will chose who you will be fighting, but please be aware of special surprises, so pay attention to announcements you are now free to move through out the island, good luck."

At that a burst of light blinded the fighters and everything was gone, the stage, the announcers, the healer, and Rock Howard. All that was left were the fighters.

Enter: Ives James
Ives stood examining the fighters, after what the old man said he smiled lightly and calmily. He took a step towards the jungle. He noticed the kangaroo, apparently that was Riku, and then at the strange bangaged girl who was known as A.B.A but was Alice. Then at the masked on Mizer. He was curious to know everyones powers, including from what rumors stated Dyne trained with Rock Howards mentor and previous champion Terry Bogard. He took a deep sigh and walked into the jungle, this was the start of the King Of Fighters Tournament. "Well, lets get this show on the road." He said in a calm, spine tingling voice. He got out his bottles and looked at them "Let me show them the Art of Spirits, father...I will honor you in this tournament, so please be patient." He walked carefully trying not to mess up his black pants and white shirt.

Hadou walked along side his fellow announcers, Sam and Rock Howard he thought for a moment and then said in an almost ancient sounding voice, stating that he was older then he was. "Are you sure these fighters will be okay? They are all very very young." He was concerned. Rock Howard said nothing. "Sam our leader of the healers, please inform them that the fighters have arrived and get yourself and the healers outside and ready for this fights...and Tom, prepare them.." He said with a devilish smile. His body started to shift slightly almost as if he was turning a little bit younger.

[Valkarma]

Jace's mouth almost hit the floor at the display before him as he got out of the helicopter. The trip had been a nervous one and he wasn't use to flying. The people there had ignored him becuase of his age. He had just hummed and smiled trying to keep his spirits up. The people looked so interesting, if not a bit scary. One kid was almost his age maybe older. He was so looking forward to seeing all the styles the people had.
He had to quickly shut his mouth tight as he listened to the rules. The bright lights. The sounds. The feel. All of it was new to him and he was almost pouncing in excitement. He gripped his fists and began almost jumping up and down on the spot.
"This is going to be amazing." He thought, "Oh I so hope I do well. To be able to challenge the champion and see the sytle that won him it all. That would be a better prize then the money." He began to ponder. "Oh I wonder what the other fighters styles are going to be like." He smiled in excitement and looked around at them before back at the stage. "This is going to be the most fun ever."
He gripped the stap on his bag as he walked up to collect his watch. He must have been the youngest fighter there. He wonder what they all thought about him. He hoped some could become his friends. As the stage and all the judges and such, disappeared in a flash of light, he kept his eyes open and tried to spot where they went. No luck there but he was lucky enough to not hurt his eyes.
"What should I do now?" He said to himself. Jace flipped up his hood to cover his head and then looked around. He clutched onto his backpack straps looking like a lost kid at school. The place was big and they had to survive on there own. Well he was sure he could make some friends.
At that moment one of the people walked off and began to go into the forest. Jace saw this as a chance to talk with someone and ran after the fella.
"Hey. Hey!" He called out as he followed him. Stepping over plants and stones. "Hey." he said as he ran up next to the person. "It's Ivan isn't it? Or Ives? Yea it's Ives James your name, isn't it? Hi. I'm Jace Olka. You want to hang to together for a bit. I'm sure we could be awesome friends." He began to rant a little. "So what you here for? You after the prize or title? Bet it's going to be fun isn't it? I'm not here for that. I just want to look around and see what other peoples styles are like. So what did you say your here for?"

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

In a flash, the stage, announcers, everything except the fighers were gone. This left Mizer in a state of shock. It happened fast, it blinded him. He took a few moments to take a few steps around, looking at the ground. Trying to figure out where they went. After a few moments he realized how futile his search is. He stood up straight and began to enter a stretch. His hands hold, behind his back he would lift them up to about shoulder level, then quickly let them drop to his side. He then decided he should actually take a look at the fighters (Trying to not look at the kangaroo because that was just creepy to him). He noticed some really younger combatants. Two of them children. "Children....here? Why...will they even last?". It seemed at this moment, it was a moment where veryone jus tlooked around. All were in amazement of how fast the stage left. As it seemed to Mizer at this moment. No one really knew each other, or at least he assumed so. He's heard a few of the names called. But didn't really meet the person.

It was all awkward for Mizer, so he decided to introduce himself to everyone, in a voice loud enough to be heard he stated, "Well, hi everyone! My name is Mizer...I'm from England. And since we have about two hours before the tournament starts...why not get to know each other? I mean...you don't have to. I'm not trying to take charge. I just feel a bit awkard, breaking the ice. Ya know? So yeah...hi." He felt stupid. The stupid nervous feeling you get if you were in school and you broke the ice. Still he was hoping some people would be polite and cheerful enough to respond.

[FaroDomisai]

Grey rubbed his eyes as everything he saw before him was gone, "Huh, interesting" he did notice the Kangaroo that ran off "What is a Kangaroo doing in the island?" he said to himself. Grey looked at the man named Mizer and gave him grin "My name is Grey I came here from Phoenix Arizona, I train under tiger claw" He said as he dropped the suit case he held which was shaped like a pendulum.


Riku hopped around a small pond in the jungle, he bent down taking a drink of the water and letting out a snort from his nose "Those must be the fighters those people were talking about" Riku could speak the human language from the collar he was given, "I can tell I will be having a very fun time with these fighters" he said emitting a little laugh.

OOC: THEY ARE MY PATIENTS, NOT YOURS! 8p

IC:

"Helicopter trip, check. Awkward stares and sizing-up's on the helicopter, check. A small landing... Check. HOLY CRAP--!" Were the thoughts of Mr. Ordon as he'd shift his body open some upon the beach, with his eyes wide open. Bright lights came to his eyes, and the sudden boom of stereo equipment most likely comparable to that of a football stadium- the concept filled his mind. These guys were either very serious about this or just enjoyed flashy aesthetics.

'I wonder if Rock agreed to these flashy things wholesomely, he never seemed like one for such antics back in the U.P. ' Dyne's mind flooded with the times he actually met Rock when he was training with Terry. He never came off as a totally flashy sort of person, at least when it was unnecessary. Dyne would have to admit that there were times when it was necessary, at least to him and Terry-sensei... Master Terry... Blah, Terry.

His eyes combed across the beach after approaching the stage to get his nifty watch-a-ma-gig. It was as expected, more and more 'flashy' in the form of accessories. 'Ouh well, it must've been necessary.' Dyne's thoughts rationalized before stepping down, and the sudden disappearance of the stage made him blink a few times in wonder. Who knew they'd go through all this sort of trouble, on a beach no less.

His caucasian, and well build frame shifted as a man in a mask started to shout to the group- talking about introductions. A small smile played at Dyne's face, not just at that but at the sight of children who seemed to feel accomplished enough to be there. Terry always taught him one should never underestimate an opponent, but children? and a... KANGAROO!?

The sight of 'Alice' as she seemed to be called made him wonder, the masked man named Mizer made him wonder, hell, the children made him wonder! This really was going to be an interesting tourney. With these thoughts in mind Dyne pulled a black baseball cap from his denim jacket pocket, and smoothed back his hair with the arch of his left hand before placing the cap on his head. It was black and white, with the Bogard Star upon it's fore. Yes, he'd wear the mark of his master proudly.

In response to Mizer, he lifted a hand to the group that remained and smiled before speaking, "Dyne Locke Ordon, pleased to meet you all. But if you'll excuse me, I'm going to figure out what I can before the tourney starts. " With those words he waved towards the group and started into the forest, his eyes narrowing as a snake seemed to slither down from a tree branch. With a gentle calm he called to the chi of the earth, and his presence seemed to be accepted by the reptile as he walked by with a gentle and very faint blue hue about his form.

"Mother Earth embraces those who care to ask for her help, and promise not to bite her feeding hand." He thought to himself, those words sounded too old and cliche even for his master, who had told them to him in his seven years of training prior to this moment.

The bishounen figure of Kamakiri Shinsengumi Tom was overshadowed by the caress of the lamp light in the room from above, a sickly sweet smile came over his sharp feminine facade as he listened to his old associate speak with the healer. Suddenly his form shifted to a dramatic pose, his hands tucked at his hips as his head would turn slightly to the left, his eyes seemed to glitter with the shining of his well tended makeup upon his face.

"These fighters BETTER be up for the task! They bask in my glory!" He said proceeding with a small giggle, half of his body literlly coming on fire. After which he'd cackle maniacly at the scene, uncaring to the awkwardness he might've been sowing.

[Blackwick]

Rathnait stood up, flinging her long red hair back away from her face, and looks around. People were walking around, some entering the forest area, a kangaroo hoping place to place a kids running around. She thought to herself, Wow, even kids are allowed in this tournament? Hopefully no one gets too hurt. She looked up into the sky and headed off into the tree infested land, hearing people talking and wondering when it would be time for her first real fight.

[Mr. Nobody]

Sam alongside Rock Howard and Hadou, waiting for an excuse to go out and go group with his team. He didn't mind their company, but he couldn't relate to Hadou and Rock Howard just outright scared him.

"Are you sure these fighters will be okay? They are all very very young."

'Not likely' though Sam, already predicting sprains and bruises the minute he stepped out there. Rock Howard said nothing, so he followed his example.

"Sam our leader of the healers, please inform them that the fighters have arrived and get yourself and the healers outside and ready for this fights...and Tom, prepare them.."

"Yessir." Sam saluted Hadou, and made his way to the room his fellow healers were.

He got there, and many were sitting upright in their cots, chatting away. Most of them were bright eyed and hoping to help.

'"Listen here maggots!" The whole lot of them immediately got up and snapped to attention. "We are here, not as participants in this tournament, but as healers. We have a sacred duty to help those in need, if I see someone shirking their duties to goof around, they will receive a Jet Magnum to the face. Am I clear?!" He punched the air violently several times to show he meant business.

"Sir, yessir!" they all cried, scared to death of their leader.

'Now, get into your suits and move out!"

Most of them stumbled and frantically packed several suppiles to endure the long tournament, unsure when they would get a break.

Shaking his head, he quickly headed to his Lion.

'Ah yes, my Lion.' He ran a hand down the silver paint job. It was an excellent mech for him since it was built to endure long flights and could go up to 100 miles per hour on the ground. Yep, he did an excellent job building this mech.

Sam brought out a key from his pocket and inseted into a hidden keyhole and entered it. Shutting the cockpit, he then inserted the same key into the keyhole. Starting the mech, he flipped a few switches, and then...

"Let's GO!" With a yell, his mech roared to life and surged forward. He quickly made his way to the exit and gunned it.

...But braked immediately, remembering that he needed to wait for Anna, his protector.

'Damn...Oh well, this gives me the time to double-check everything.'

With that in mind, he tuned out the world and waited for his protector.

[The Rogue Devil]

The flash did not bother Talon for he closed his eyes before it happened. Everyone was introducing themselves to each other but Talon figured what was the purpose of telling each other who they are? Why was there a kangaroo(A KANGAROO?) fighting in the tournament? Why are children getting involved with these fights? Talon would rather let his fists do the talking for him ,since he could tell what they do and how rigorous their training was by fighting them, but he would at least let them know what their up against.

" The name's Talon and if you'll excuse me I have to train before the fights start." Talon said retrieving his watch, " See you guys in two hours." Talon simply walked away and into the forest drenched lands of Talus Island and began to clear his mind with meditation.

[MaruDashi]

A.B.A watched without seeming particularly interested in what was being said. She scanned through the crowd, looking for a suitable 'host'.

Her attention was caught by some random fool introducing himself. She listened as the others did as well. She sighed to herself and looked behind her to her 'spouse'. She spoke in a low tone as to not draw attention to herself anymore than her appearance already did.

"Think perhaps we'll find a good one here?"

"I hope so my dear. But for now, play along with the other children."

She grunted to herself a bit, but knew he had a point.

"Code name A.B.A, call me Alice."

[Dr. Hax]

"Listen up, Velasquez. This tournament is to see how you fair in a real fight. You are a government black project, an enhanced weapon with no problem concerning fire. You will have this tag on your suit so that we may monitor your progress and success/fail rate. You have instincts for survival already so use them well. We're still going to be a while before we reach your AO so if you want to sleep for a bit, feel free."

Armondo merely sat and nodded as his general gave him the briefing. He was ready for action but needed to maintain a cool attitude as he sat in the plane. The cushions in it were so horrible to sit on that you could easily get a nice leg cramp sitting for half an hour. The heat was a little much but not much different from Spain's weather. All he had to do was shut up and bear it like all other soldiers.

[Luzifer]

The sounds, the lights... these things flutterby Zakai like a passing dream. He had felt these lights a thousand times before, had touched these tones in a million waking nightmares and his soul had since numbed to their cries. He didn't blink, he didn't fidget, he just leaned against the wind, his hands in his pockets, his hair fluttering light a pale ghost around him. He wasn't happy, not yet. He would be... at least, if this tournament lived up to its name. He would be happy... dead or alive... he would be happy. Whether he knew happiness from the pain that he would inflict or from the pain inflicited on him. He didn't care. Agony was wonderful... in others or in himself. Why else would the great god Mithras have placed him in such a place as the Pits except to revel in the pleasure of misery? The sweetness of the Bitter Mistress' caress lived with him after its searing touch had fled. His broken arm, his shattered ribs and other wounds to numerous to count need merely be recalled and they would fill him with a love so sweet, it could only be the tryst of a mortal and a goddess!

But these rewards... they were not why he was here. He was here because he was told to be. This was just another fight in the Pits for all he was concerned. His chains were gone but their pull remained. His masters back in Turkey were betting on this fight just the same. If he failed, he would die... all the same. It was a difference only in place, and in scale. But such things were minor, mere facade to more real truths.

His eyes barely moved as he stayed toward the back. He understood nothing of the words spoken, he knew no word of english... he knew only the Kurdish tongue by heart, and a few smatterings of Arabic drilled into him by the guards of his Turkish hell. But the Arabic was so minor he didn't understand it as a language so much as grunts of command. Ones he had learned to attach to the action that appeased them.

The words of the others flowed over him as meaningless as the cawing of ravens. He didn't listen didn't care. If someone approached him it would be out of challenge... if no one did he would challenge them himself. But he did not desire to rush things. His guilt prevented him from so openly pursuing his pleasure.

Suddenly his posture flowed gently into a thoughtful amble and a vague sad smile touched his lips. It was sad really. That these people would have to suffer. But it was just their misfortune for ending up fighters. Some might say that it was their choice to be here. But Zakai was not fooled by that delusion. There was no choice, only the will of the gods.


Nilhelm grinned. Oh what stereophonic slipstreams! The sounds! All textured like dreams and moving like water with the soft mix of sunlight and stadium lampposts all mixing with the sent of warm sweat! Oh but it was a narcotic. What act could he do to break this pleasure? None! There was nothing for him but to bow before the ecstasy of the present.

Nilhelm grabbed his watch...thing... who cared what it was! It was what it was and could be nothing else since that would mean it was what it wasn't! Perfect logic! Nilhelm smiled to himself, looked at all the other people. They were pretty much all talking and introducing each other. Well, not all strictly speaking but enough. Nilhelm grinned, but he was already walking towards the jungle.

That building... you weren't allowed to go within or even near it. He had to find out what was in it! Why? He didn't know, but he was sure he'd find out the reason why he had to look when he got a look, the looking would be looking for the reason for the looking! Perfect!

[kei of the flame]

Alvaro stood scaning the lights and sounds barely listening. Once he got his watch/hologram thing, he began to look around at all the fighters as they introduced themselves. "Father, I will show them all the way a matador fights." He said with a smile. Traveling around the world has tought Alvaro multiple languages, his favorite's being Spanish and English. He made his way towards the forest, "Best to know your surroundings than to know people." walking through some brush before making his way into the forest.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

His feeling of stupidity left as others, well few, started to introduce themself. A lot didn't seem to care, they just ran off into the woods to train, know the land. Or whatever drive sparked within them. Most people just stated their name and left. Only one person gave word of where they were from. And an American no less. He would just look, and observe. He tried breaking the ice and only scratched it. He found it a bit rude for others to just walk off without any form of introduction, yet...perhaps introductions could be made before a fight? Yet with this group it is doubtful any are courteous enough to even do that. A bit annoyed, "Oh, I see. Some of us introduce ourselves, walk off. Others play the mysterious fighter. Don't give a word jsut run on off and prepare. DOn't find out anything about who you're fighting, who needs that? Informations, even basic of minor is bad! Some people, if not all are sooo unworthy of lif-" he would stop himself, pause as a nervous chill spinted down his body, "I mean, people are sooo rude. Yes, much better. Anywho, since I guess none of us are really into introductions I guess I'll be off iinto...the wild. Have fun everyone."

After his parting words he would smile, a very futile smile for no one could see it. His mask concealed it. A bit depressing for Mizer, he would like others to know of his nice intentions. As he made is way into the wild he would think again bout the kids who are here. "Who the bloody hell allows children to fight? I doubt their bodies can take much punishment. And if so...those aren't children but two demon-childs! AND I DON'T EVEN BELIEVE IN THAT CRAP!". The forest by far was not Mizers friend. It would only be a matter of time before heat would settle in, or maybe not. Mizer aimlessly wandered about. He had no destination in mind, it was a island of pure wilderness besides a building tha fighters are not allowed in. CUriosity filled Mizer of course, but he would remember the saying "Curiosity killed the cat" however, he also remembered the second half, "But satisfaction brought 'em back". This didn't help the curiosity and urge. He wanted to go see, but at the same time knew that the resutls could be bad. Temptations dripped about his lips. The sweet scent of mystery danced around his nostrils. Not only did the "building" seem mysterious, this whole Island did. It was aplace of adventure. So many places for him to explore.

Not really wanting to wear himself out, Mizer decided to just sit at a rock that just seemed convienently placed. Sitting he decided to look and inspect his watch...thing what-cha-ma-call-it. "How the hell do you work this bloody thing?" He began to tap at it, shake his wrist, look at it, even try to smell it even though he wouldn't get ANY results because of his mask.

[Seikyu Kiba]

OOC: The reason why it's two hours is because I wanted to wait for Shobu to post so we can get the announcers out of the way.

Ives listened to Mizer and a few introduce themselves. He looked down at the one called Jace. A child? What is a child doing in the tournament? Ives heard the boy say something about being friends. Friends? Does he think this is a game? Ives nodded and said in an icy yet calm and cheerful voice that would make the boys spine tingle. "My goal here is simple, to show everyone that my style is the best..." He then thought for a moment, maybe this kid would prove useful to him after all, "Sure...lets become good friends." He said with a polite and elegant smile. He looked like a bartender of course, which was what his occupation was. He said to everyone before he decided to depart into the Jungle. "My name is Ives James it's a pleasure to meet you all." He said as he looked down at Jace "Be not surprised if I decide to challenge you boy." He smiled again with his calming smile. He was ready, and prepare. He looked at his watch and opened up the hologram projections. "Everyone...seems so worthy of my time."

Hadou listened to Tom speak and laughed like a jolly old man "Remember my friend this is to test them in the art of FIGHTING and not bask in your glory." He said they continued walking down the hall. "Sam has already sent the Healers out, we must head to the control room, and keep and eye on everyone. Rock please stay in the building." Hadou looked at gave Tom a evil look and said "I would like you to prepare...the one who is able to know what you are thinking, doing and can possibly read a memory card if he felt like it...in three days we will release him, as of right now...lets watch them fight and see who is worthy of his challenge." Hadou turned to Chuu with a gentle smile "What do you think of that? The fighters have about a half hour before it starts." As they approached the control room Hadou got on the loud speaker and in an old fashion voice said "Fighters, you have a half hour before it starts, please get into the Jungle and into a comfortable location, throughout the island there are bridges, waterfalls, as well as dangers such as poisonous snakes, spiders, mosquitoes and other evil things...good luck fighters, and please try not to die." He laughed as the speaker cut off.

[MaruDashi]

A.B.A let out an annoyed sigh and looked to Paracelsus, as is silently saying 'pleeeeaaseee?'.

It looked off in a direction as if hinting to head that way.

ABA smiled to herself and began to wonder off, dragging Paracelsus behind her. He was a bit on the heavy side, but she didnt mind. She loved him very much, so something like dragging him around only made her happy, as she got to spend more time with him. Still, she hoped to find a host body for him, so that they could be more...intimate with each other. But for the time being, moving him from place to place was fantastic excercise for her.

Once they were deep in the woods, ABA pulled out the watch given to her and looked it over.

"Humans make such interesting things..."

"Well, humans made you Alice my dear, so Im grateful to them."

"Paracelsus~"

She snuggled next to him a bit, with a sappy grin on her face.

[Valkarma]

Ives listened to Mizer and a few introduce themselves. He looked down at the one called Jace. A child? What is a child doing in the tournament? Ives heard the boy say something about being friends. Friends? Does he think this is a game? Ives nodded and said in an icy yet calm and cheerful voice that would make the boys spine tingle. "My goal here is simple, to show everyone that my style is the best..." He then thought for a moment, maybe this kid would prove useful to him after all, "Sure...lets become good friends." He said with a polite and elegant smile. He looked like a bartender of course, which was what his occupation was. He said to everyone before he decided to depart into the Jungle. "My name is Ives James it's a pleasure to meet you all." He said as he looked down at Jace "Be not surprised if I decide to challenge you boy." He smiled again with his calming smile. He was ready, and prepare. He looked at his watch and opened up the hologram projections. "Everyone...seems so worthy of my time."


"Oh awesome. This will be an awesome friendship." Jace said his face beaming with joy. He coughed a little and then smiled again. "Oh it's going to be like super awesome and maybe more. It will be like awesome times ten." He laughed. "Listen me. the guild master always said I say awesome too much. But it is a cool word and best fits most things don't you think?"
Jace was quiet over the moon after finding someone who wanted to be his friend already. He smiled and turned to the other fighters.
"Hey ho everyone!" He shouted up, "I'm Jace! I hope to make friends with you all. This is going to be the best of fun isn't it? I look forward to fighting you all." He waved his hand about, "Don't worry about me either. If you don't go all out on me then you will surely loose." He smiled a sincere grin one that spoke the truth.
"I have to see the whole style for this to be fun." He thought to himself. "So I don't want them to hold back 'cos I'm a kid."
He turned back to Ives.
"Hey if your styles the best then I definalty want to fight you. I bet it's so fun to see. The movements and thoughts that go into it." He made punching and kicking movements in the air. His immature style and lack of skill showing nothing of the truth. None of them would know what he could do and at the same time did. He couldn't wait to copy their style and feel that they felt.
"Do you think I could see some of it now? Not a fight just a single move. A swipe of a hand; or something. Please." He began making puppy dogs eyes. His hands cupped together and a begging look on his face. He was too hyper at the moment to realise how annoying he was becoming.

[Tetsanosuke]

Ninety minutes into the jungle and he managed to take a relaxing hike up the side of a cliff onto the mountain trail. Along the way he'd notice the various brush about the scenery seem to pull away from him, as if letting him through. With a small prayer to the plants as he walked, he adjusted his large bag still hanging at his back held by a durable bit of tied rope.

The bag was waterproof, and somewhat cylindrical with the clothing and various other things packed away inside it. The air was so fine, though, it was much hotter then the Upper Peninsula back in good ol'Michigan. But that didn't bother him, as he could feel the Earth's energy flowing through every vine, every leaf, and every tree trunk. It was soothing like his mother's voice, energizing like his father's old championship matches, and just so 'right'. When Terry taught him the ways of the Hakyoku Saiken, it opened his eyes far further then he could ever dream to see.

Every fine step foreward brought to him another memorie, and more energy for his coming matches. There was no end to the possibilities now, and he was ready to face what he had to in order to make his master proud, and better yet, his father watching from whatever afterlife one may believe in. Training in the harsh snow and heavy environment of the mountains back home had prepared him better then expected for this terrain, which made him feel a little more relaxed and balanced. He didn't have snow to consider, which meant his efficiency should be higher- and his chi intake much easier.

He had made it to what seemed like a hollowed out part of the cliff with a wide open waterfall flowing to his right, and to his left he could see the 'building' they spoke of in the distance. But that building was of little concern, as Dyne's attention came to the base of the cliff near the waterfall, a few steps away from the sturdy wooden bridge just two meters from the actual falls. Deciding this was a fine place to meditate, Dyne brought his body against the rock of the cliff wall and closed his eyes.

' I wonder who I'll face first... ' were his thoughts before the speakers called out that there were only thirty minutes left. Lovely.

Kamakiri Shinsengumi Joe raised a fickle eyebrow to the old man who tossed his 'gloriousness' aside. He just didn'... 'understand' his beauty and his glamerous appeal!

But when the old man told him to prep a special fighter, he giddily shot into the nearest door and down the hallway to room 'MGS1', where his glittering eyes looked into the minimalistic dwelling from the bars at the doors. It wasn't locked, but it seemed like a prison alright. Blinking now he heard what seemed to be someone elses thoughts in his head, before making his signature dramatic pose, 'thinking' his response.

"...!"

In response to that, there was a small cough from the room before Tom seemed to be lifted by nothing, and tossed down the hallway.

" I SAY! HMPH! " He'd stammer before marching back down the hallway, muttering about how rude that being in the room was.

[Dr. Hax]

The military plane began to pass over the island as the General began his second briefing. The motor was loud, as expected. Aircraft was never Spain's forte. Ground vehicles were a different matter though.

"Armondo, it is time for your final field test. Your specialized landing container is ready. Try to keep your mask on at all times. Step inside and we shall paradrop you. Fight for the good of your country. Fight for the good of Spain!"

Armondo nodded and put his helmet on. His entire suit was that of body armor, black gloves and boots and a modern-day gas mask with red sight lenses. He stepped inside the container and got strapped in tight. This container was fresh and looked strangely enough, like a metal coffin with a bulletproof glass window. The now loaded container was brought out to the rear end of the plane and the door opened. The container slid out and fell through the sky only to have a parachute deployed for a safe landing.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

"Beh, to hell with this watch thing...whatever it is! Only roughly a half hour before the tournament starts. I can only imagine which of the fighters I have to battle with." Mizer ceased his attention on his watch, and once again observed his surroundings. Not too far in front of him a rock wall forming a cliff sat. Otherwise around him was pure forest. Thick vegetation surrounding him. Mizer was left at a disadvantage. He has no knowledge about the forest life. No closeness to nature. No care for it. Survival in the forest alone would be his toughest challenge. This gnawed at his morale. Yet he realized in order to win, to become victorious he would have to as swift as wind, as gentle as the forest, as feirce as fire and stable like a mountain. Of course two of these refer to nature. Something he was not used to. "Eh, perhaps using Sun Tzu to boost my spirits isn't the best. I should bloody well face it; I'm at a huge disadvantage in the forest. Well, not in a fight but surviving the wilderness...I really need to get more optimistic."

Mizer pulled out the small bag he carried with him. Inside it he packed a water bottle, one to be reused. A flashlight and a few bags of chips. Nothing else could be placed in there due to him putting his mask in it. "Oh dear...this won't last very long. Who knows how long we'll be here. Way to go, Mizer! At least I can re-use this water bottle. Soon as these bags of chips are gone though...have fun finding food, Mizer." Once agian his spirits started to sink. Placing his bag at his side, he decided to sit there, clsoe his eyes and just rest. HE would take deep breathes. Waiting for the tournament to start. However his moment of silence was put back when the faint sound of what appeared to be a plane reached his ears. The sound was faint to where he was, yet still noticable. "A plane? A random plane just passing through? Or perhaps another fighter? I doubt that...we all arrived together. Oh bother, I have other things to worry about than a bleedin' plane."

[Lemony_M I K O_]

Trish had never even rode in a airplane before so the helicopter ride made her quite quesy. She soon regained her stomach once on land. As the fighters stepped off the plane her mouth fell open. So many different types of people were there. Even kids younger than HER and she was 15. And a kangeroo! Trish accepted her watch-thingy with a small smile. Then that awful bright flash and the whole stage disappered. Trish gasped "Like a magic trick." she whispered. Soon people were introducing themsleves to the group in their own special way. Trish was a little shy on introductions so she just stood back fumbling with her fingers.

Then a anouncement from the loud speakers said to get themselves into a nice location. Trish looked back to to the people conversing and without a placed a blue headband on her forehead. With this done she whispered fiercily "Athena , guide me!" Trish felt her legs gain a metalic sheen to them. Soon she was flitting through the trees at a great speed.

[Dr. Hax]

The descent was quite slow for Armondo. It had to be slow so the metal container did not have it's contents damaged. During the descent, Armondo started thinking about what his General said.

Listen up soldier as this is important. We have run simulation after simulation on you to test your new abilities and you have passed each one quite well. We are going to conduct a final test. The only difference is that you will be placed in a tournament known as the King of Fighters. You must survive and really push yourself to victory. In your left pocket, you will have a bowie knife for survival purposes only, not for fighting. You will be placed in a metal container and airdropped onto Talus island. Descent shall be slow for your safety. Remember, you are a black project...An enhanced human and potential next generation weapon. Fight for the glory of Spain. Push yourself as if you were in the Running of the Bulls. Make us proud, soldier.

Then came memories of his testing.

Inject some anaesthetic into him and "knock him out". Now, let's work on the brain first. Bone Saw...Data chips...Needle and thread...Muscular tissue next. Scalpel...Mechanical implants...Needle and thread...Now for the final portion, making his body fireproof...Syringe, Kerosene, Diesel, Rocket Fuel...

Heart rate's increasing, doctor. Applying anaesthetic...Do you concur?

Concurred...The operation's complete. Place him in a biohazard containment chamber and perform simulations on him after two months, biweekly.

Yes sir.

He still had a long way to go before touching ground.

[The Rogue Devil]

After meditating for awhile, Talon noticed a huge tree with a spring encicling it and flowing elsewhere. He figured that this place was tranquil enough to do some mental training. Talon began to close his eyes until he heard a plane pass through the island.

"What's a plane doing flying through here?" Talon asked himself, "What is that container doing coming down from the sky?" Talon really didn't care what happenend to the container or its contents, So he went back to his mental training.

Talon felt the energies of all the living things in the forest and the other fighters as well. Talon sat in the cool water of the spring as he did his training. Within Talon's mind he simulated each fight with each fighter to see if he had a good chance of defeating them or if they beat him.
"The truth hurts more than the lies." Talon thought to himself thinking of his master's old sayings, " Control your aura and energy flow and only then will you become a true fighter."

Talon opened his eyes and looked at the watch to see he had half an hour left before the tournament started.
" Master watch as I incapacitate thos who come across me!" Talon said with a grin.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Ives, smirked as the boy asked him about his ability, he simply raised his hand and said "Lets wait until the tournament starts, I don't want to ruin any surprises." Ives smirked as his cold green yet calm eyes sparkled in the sun light. He was prepared to fight anyone who wanted to fight. He turned towards the jungle and then said to Jace "If you're going to follow me, then try to keep up." He said. Ives took out a bottle of Rum and removed the cap, taking a small sip he smiled and said "I chose the right Rum to bring." Manipulating it throughout his body and gave a small chuckle. He took one step and immediately came to a fast running pace, faster then the usual human. He weaved in and out of the trees and jumped over the rocks, he was enjoying himself, he never had such a large area to run in when he used the Rum...though he wondered. 'will my rum ever be gone?'

Hadou watched over the fighters on the multiple cameras, Talon was in the water, Dyne was near the bridge with the waterfall, everything was going smoothly. On the air camera he saw a plane flying over and a container falling from it. "That must be Armondo, he cut it pretty close." He said to himself. Hadou picked up his radio communicator and spoke to Tom. "Tom is the subject ready? The fighters have about...well they don't have anytime left.." Hadou got on the speaker and his voice came from the speakers across the lsland. "Attention fighters, I see now that some of you haven't moved from the beach area..time is up, LET THE KING OF FIGHTERS TOURNAMENT BEGIN!" Fire works shot up from out of no where signaling that the tournament has started. "Keep in mind fighters that we are keeping score from the sidelines so make the fighters as amazing as possible." Hadou came off the speaker and smirked, picking up the communicator he contacted Samuel "Sam the tournament has started I hope the healers are all ready for their jobs."


NOTE: Everytime you win a fight put "Winner" Underneath your post, for everytime you lose put "Lost"...or "Fail." one of the two

[FaroDomisai]

Grey wandered through the jungle looking at the trees and everything that was around him. "I wonder what challenge I can find on this island" he said as a snake darted for his face. He quickly reached out his had and caught it by the throat and crushed it in his hand. "I will be the King of Fighters, weather no matter what challenges I have to face." Grey sat down leaning against a tree first dropping his case next to him, he patted his case "We will have our fun, soon once we find an opponent" Grey noticed the fire works come from no where "HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE!?..it seems the tournament has begun"


Riku lifted his leg and scratched his ear "Itchy itchy itchy, damn tics!" he said as a tic went flying into a near by stream "These people don't seem to friendly, all they want is that money and to become a champion, I doubt I will make friends" he said looking down "If I win this tournament I will request to go back home...that is all I want to do" he said sniffling "I hope my momma is okay" he looked up into the clouds seeing the fireworks "This Island....is very strange..."

[Dr. Hax]

Armondo woke to hear fireworks shooting up from the sky. He immediately thought they were SAM Site missile salvos trying to bombard him. He refused to panic as some exploded in front of the small window which showed his masked face. The red lenses were to scan their target and show information only to the wearer. The Gas mask appearance meant he was fond of biological warfare. The mask altogether enabled him to communicate and relay information to HQ. The entire black suit was proof that he was a weapon. He envisioned these things...The properties of his body and the suit when all of a sudden, a firework exploded and burned a hole into the parachute, sending the container at high speed down to the hard earth. The container remained unharmed as it collided into rock after rock, eventually landing in ancient ruins.

From the looks of things, it was a site used for ritualistic funeral pyres that had moss and such growing on it. Armondo took out his bowie knife to cut the bonds as he stayed inside the closed container that lay against a large pile of moss-covered rubble.

[Blackwick]

Bubbles flew up and grabbed her ear. "Did you hear? Did you hear? It beings!" She flew around in a circle.

Rathnait began jumpping up and down. People were still at the beach? She looked around and saw trees and more trees. "HELLO!!!!" She raises her small ear up to listen and hear only her echos. "I guess no one is near me. I'll have to search for the first opponent then."

Bubbles pulled on her ear once more. "There is a small one over here, over here, Rathnait. He looks like fun." She kept pulling until Rathnait started laughing. She headed towards Bubbles and sees a young boy, he seemed to be following someone, a taller man. "Ask him, ask him." She kept giggling out.

"Alright bubbles, I'll ask." She began following them, avoiding the trees that seemed to be wanting her to run into them. And then she ran into a young man in a robe. "I'm sorry." She steps back and looks at his green eyes. "Didn't see you there."

[FaroDomisai]

Grey looked down at the girl giving her a grin "It is quiet alright, you must be careful in this jungle, things can come at you from any direction" he said as he grabbed his suit case lifting it up "My name is Grey, and you are?" he said with a small smile knowing he had found an opponent, he gave a simple laugh and let down his hood, he attracted his claws from his gloves making a SHING noise he scrapped them together slowly licking his lips "You look delicious, up for a challenge little lady?"he said as his green eyes stared directly into her eyes giving him a creepy and gruesome look.

[MaruDashi]

ABA strapped the watch loosely to her wrist. She let out a long, annoyed sigh as she heard that the tournament had begun.

"Well, Im ready to leave."

"Lets not forget why we came."

She pouted to herself a bit. He had a point.

"Well, but I like you as-is..."

"I know my dear, but its frustrating to not be of better...use to you."

She let out a small sigh. She knew he wanted a real body, something to fight with, to walk with, to hold her with. She grabbed onto his chain and began walking again.

"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine" she said in an annoyed tone.

"Dont kill anyone, my dear."

"FIIIIIINE, TAKE ALL MY FUN FROM ME!"

Paracelsus chuckled a bit to himself as they continued to wonder through the forest.

[Blackwick]

She looks over at bubbles. "Did he just call me delicious?" Bubbles trembles and flies up into the trees. "That is what I thought." She turns her head back towards him. "Name is Rathnait." Her voice came out shaky. No one really scared her but it seemed that he sent chills down her spine like if you were about to be killed by a ex-con.

She reached up with her hand and tried to reach above his head but it seemed to be no use, he was just taller than she was, even with her arm up. "You seem to be very tall."

She cocks her head to the side, trying to figure out if the claws on the gloves were sharp or just for show. Then she looked back up to his eyes, which seemed to be looking quiet hungry in a blood bath type of a way.

"Yeah, sure." She stepped back slowly and readied her baton and streamer.

[Tetsanosuke]

Tom had just brushed the dust from his flamboyant tux-skirt combo when suddenly he blinked at his PDA. Apparently the order from Hadou came in through the communication program, and he sent it to his bluetooth. It was weird, but he supposed he could help orders from the old man, so, he simply giggled a 'yes' and went on his way down the tower.

After a few floors he'd find the large 'glass-like' area where a large man was sitting with a giant axe-hammer at his side. He was silent, and a little smelly.. Tom didn't really appreciate his lack of hygene.

"Gallllllooooows! (http://s452.photobucket.com/albums/qq242/tetsanokirikami/?action=view&current=imZfAmNicRa4mtJAZ9dyzusg.jpg) You are uuuuup!" He said, opening the chamber before letting the beast loose. He stomped his way out and leapt literally off the side of the building five stories upbefore smashing into the ground- his visage glowing red through his black cloth mask.

By the time Dyne knew it, it had turned to dusk. He noticed the sun sliding slowly off to the side like a bright glowing ball rolling sheerly down the side of the cliff. Dyne wondered if the setting sun signaled a halt to the fights, but if what Terry and even Rock had told him was true, he wouldn't count on it.

Though he took the time he had to sit up from his position and stretch out, the fireworks from before didn't really grab his attention, only the fact that the tourney had indeed started caught his eye. The ambiance of the falls and the bridge made him wonder whether or not a fight COULD take place there ,as it was just so serene and so tranquil. The falling water would entice his mind into patterns of beautifully rendered waves, the flow of Mother Earth's energy bringing him to an instant high. He felt stronger then ever in that location, in fact, it was the island itself.

But when he turned his back from the cliff side opposite of his seat at his level, he'd flinch at what seemed like a suden scuffle of feet and the wisping of a large amount of momentum through the air. As if instinctually, his frame would jump onto the cliff wall he was facing and kick off into a gentle spinning flip, facing what was 'swinging' for him. To his utter amount of suprise stood a giant man, with an equally giant weapon, and only eyes to peer into. The sheer shock of the sight literally put him on guard, and with the sort of caveman response to this attack he'd start on the offensive.

He'd shift his body to the ground, sweeping his right leg around before pushing his frame upwards, the dust on the stone kicked up with his feet as his body spun counter clockwise. He seemed to become a drill of a sort as he'd send a foot along with the collected dust towards the face of his attacker.

" RISING TACK---" He tried to emphasize the effort in his desperate move, but failed when the creature of a man literally sent his large head into the blow face first, before grabbing at his extended leg.

Dyne was taken off guard, and soon off balance as the large beast of a man literally tossed him down the mountain trail opposite of the bridge, and dyne felt his frame against the stone and dusk of the trail. But he didn't fail to get up as fast as he could, only to find himself as the recieving end of a downward chop with the giant ax 'Gallows' was swinging towards him.

Will Dyne survive this surprise attack? Tune in next time, on "KOF; Dyne's Little Adventure."

(OOC: AS a note, Gallows (http://s452.photobucket.com/albums/qq242/tetsanokirikami/?action=view&current=imZfAmNicRa4mtJAZ9dyzusg.jpg) was a Majini from RE5 originally, but in this appearence he's sort of just a giant, probably genetically enhanced executioner. Hence his name. "Everyone Check the first post for an update" says Kiba.)

[FaroDomisai]

Grey smirked and growled a little and licked his lips "Perfect" he said as he leapt back and began to run around in circles "FOREST OF GREY" he began to make 3 copies of himself as he growled as he then unhooked his suit case, as a large chain with a pendulum attached came flying out of the case, he started swinging it around "Prepare yourself missy!" Grey whispered softly his whispers echoed through the jungle "Which one is which?" two of Greys clones lunged at the young female claws drawn but they didn't have the pendulum

[Blackwick]

She flips backwards and one of the clones claws glaz down her leg. "Ouch." She touches her leg and only feels the skin peeled back, blood on the edge on the inside looking as if it would pour out any second. "That hurt." She looked up to see the three of them gleaming down at her with major pride and hatred in them. Delusion was what it is, she thought, I'm seeing more because he is in my mind, I'm not insane, and you can't make me believe that by that little trick you little scary, big, whatever you are.

She stood up and flung her streamer out. "Streamer Spin." It wrapped around one of the Grey's feet and he fell, and went poof. Then she looks at two of the Grey's that were left. She readies her baton in a upward position, ready to defend against any attacks against either one of them.

[kei of the flame]

"Yay! The championship begins." Alvaro said in delight. "My best way to find someone would be to....Think,think, I got it! Just walk around!" Alvaro started his walking around and not to his surprise all he saw were trees, trees and more trees. After walking through the trees for ten to fifteen minutes he came across some ruins with a pod outside them. "My instincts tell me......NOT to bother that, bye Mr. Pod." He sais waving at the pod he started to walk away to find his first opponent.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

OOC: Sorry it's a lousy post Kiba. It's a little late.

Chuumi clapped excitedly from the top of a tall palm tree when the fireworks came into play. "Oh Hadou! It's so PRETTY!!!" she squealed, then flipped off of the tree, landing on the ground with ease, not evening caring that her skirt had flipped up for the world to see. She ran to the control room were Hadou was and stood besides him with her hands clasped behind her. "Oo~! Looks like Tom released Gallows first! Heehee! Gallows is so cute- the big lug!" she giggled. "Just tell me what you want Hadou and I'll do it for you! Oh wait is Gallows the only one your releasing right now or can I pick another?" she said, twirling some blue hair around her finger.

Kissa and Odion walked through the jungle with little aim. Kissa's arm was linked with her brother's. "Why are we here again Odion?" she asked him with a bored expression. Odion smiled at her.

"It's just something to do dear sister," he replied as he observed the scene. "Besides, I think there was seomthing about prize money involved. If there is then we can expand the shop with that kind of money, if we win of course."

Kissa smirked and brought a hand up to play with her side bang, "I do like a good challenge."

Odion gave her a sly smile. "Oh, that's the only thing you enjoy is it?"

"Looking is legal."

"I suppose."

[Dr. Hax]

Armondo finally overheard a voice. It was familiar in nature so like any soldier, he had to investigate. He started banging on the door loud enough for someone to hopefully hear. The container is quite cramped and had little cushion. Revealed on the front is the flag of Spain but right now, that didn't matter. Armondo had to get out first and ask questions later.

Damn you, military. You just had to lock me in this cramped prison with no way for me to get out. Instead, I get this note saying that you expect me to use quick thinking and instinct to leave the container. Whatever...I'm their project. I have to do this for them to show that I am their success.

Armondo looked about the container and thought for a couple seconds before finally using his knife to pick the lock by jamming it into the crack of the container's door and pushing. Once he heard that click, he pushed the door open and stepped out into the ruin. A bit of a distance off, he spotted the man with the familiar face and threw his bowie knife at a tree next to him. With the black suit and mask ready, he could conceal his identity and hide his secret.

[Luzifer]

Zakai frowned. He wasn't displeased, per se, but he wasn't exactly happy with the current situation. Which was primarily because he had no idea what the situation even was. Everyone kept talking, there was another announcement, and it was, of course, all in some language Zakai didn't know or recognize. He was entirely ignorant of what was happening and no one seemed willing to make clear to him what was happening.

This wasn't what he had expected. He had expected this...tournament, he supposed, to be straight forward. 2 people fight someone dies next to people fight. Simple. However, this didn't seem to be the case... people were standing around... chatting. And Zakai had no idea what he was supposed to be doing. His handlers hadn't told him anything, just that it was a tournament they were interested in running him in. He didn't even know the name of the tournament! The people that had guided him, if they had explained anything, spoke in strange languages that Zakai could not understand so they had been no help. Even this stupid wristwatch like object that Zakai had been given was had writing on it, which even if it had been in Kurdish, Zakai couldn't read because he was uneducated and illiterate.

After the large announcement people began to idle toward the...large stand of trees. Large didn't do it justice, sure this patch of land was small, but this stand was thick and covered so much Zakai didn't know the word to describe it. He had seen trees in the 11 years before he had been taken to the Pits but not in this density or covering this great of an area. It looked strange and foreboding and Zakai, while confident in his fighting skills, had no idea how to approach it. What was in it? Again... something he wished had been explained to him.

In the end he decided to continue to stand their until someone engaged him. He'd figure it out from there. After all, this was a tournament to the best of his knowledge. Therefore, at some point someone would have to fight him. Or at least check on him.

Nilhelm continued through jungle following his instincts along a serpentine path, without any real direction or guide. He wanted only to get to the banned building to find out why he wanted to go there or if he even wanted to go there. He might not actually want to go there but he wanted to go there to find out.

[Valkarma]

Ives, smirked as the boy asked him about his ability, he simply raised his hand and said "Lets wait until the tournament starts, I don't want to ruin any surprises." Ives smirked as his cold green yet calm eyes sparkled in the sun light. He was prepared to fight anyone who wanted to fight. He turned towards the jungle and then said to Jace "If you're going to follow me, then try to keep up." He said. Ives took out a bottle of Rum and removed the cap, taking a small sip he smiled and said "I chose the right Rum to bring." Manipulating it throughout his body and gave a small chuckle. He took one step and immediately came to a fast running pace, faster then the usual human. He weaved in and out of the trees and jumped over the rocks, he was enjoying himself, he never had such a large area to run in when he used the Rum...though he wondered. 'will my rum ever be gone?'

Jace watched in shock as Ives began to speed off. Jace began running after him but he was gain distance and quick. Jace was unsure what to do. He didn't want to loose his first friend already.
"Just see it as a fight. You could match him them." Jace thought that would be something the guild master would say. So he did.
It wasn't easy. The distance growing between them wasn't helping either. Jace took a few breaths and tried too imagine that it was a fight. Ives was just using manipulation techniques to move at such speed. What was his catalyst? He thought back quickly....
"I chose the right Rum to bring."
Rum? Using a substance to replicate these powers. Jace focussed real hard. His bodies functions spinning for a moment. He almost lost his footting. Then it clicked. His body began to react as if he had just done the same thing as Ives.
Jace was so shocked he almost ran into a tree but managed to dodge it with instinct. As he caught up with Ives he turned to him.
"This is amazing." He said, "Awesome man. How did you manage to become this good? It feels like I'm running on air." He smiled, "Your an amazing friend mate. This is just awesome."

[FaroDomisai]

Grey stopped in his tracks, both the real and the fake Grey looking in the same direction where his clone fell "Naughty naughty little girl" he said as he swung his pendulum straight at her, he cracked it on the ground like a bull whip and growled furiously "I will not go down so easily!" he laughed cunningly as he brought his pendulum up into the air again and cracked it again at her this time throwing 3 throwing knives with that crack of his pendulum


Riku hopped through the jungle this time coming across a beach, he smiled and looked out at the water, his ears twitching "Peaceful..simply peaceful," he said as he hopped out of the jungle heading towards the beach, he came across a crab scuttling across the shore, he bent down to look at it "How cute" he said to the crab poking it, "OW!" he bellowed as the crab pinched his finger. He shook his hand vigorously only for the crab to come loose and fly into the air making a DING noise and a little sparkle in the air

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

Mizer would continue on his lone waalk through the islands forest. Talking to himself, and sadly replying back. "Oh dear, I was an idiot for agreeing to this. I know nothing of survival in a forest. Maybe in the bloody city, but not this!" Finally he decided to wack himself upside the head. "Mizer, what are you honestly talking about? Who cares if you never been in a forest? What does it matter?! You're Mizer! The embodiment of misery! City or forest, what difference is there? You are to fight people and to win."

At this point an announcement was made that the tournament started, followed by some flashy fireworks. "Fireworks...well, aren't THEY classy?"
He would continue on his walk, decided to not rant to himself, or at least try not to rant.Every step he took, every direction he looked, forest forest forest. All around. It started to annoy Mizer. However, within a few more paces he heard the flowing of a river. It wasn't much, but at least it was something different than forest forest forest. Instead it was forest forest river! He enetered into a small run until he leaped out from some brush next to the river bank. Looking around there wasn't much in sight. No waterfall, the image of the cliff was faint. Just more forest! Still, it was a nice open spot. The downside was his moments of peace could be ruined any moment by someone randomly challenging him. "Hrmm...I probably should go out and challenge someone myself, but today...I'm just soo lazy. I'll let someone do the work of finding me and challenging me. Maybe tomorrow I'll challenge someone...or something."

He would sit down by the bank, relaxing for the who knows how many minutes, hours or moments he had.

[MaruDashi]

Minako made sure she was on the spot for the releasing of Gallows. A small camcorder floated nearby her, making sure to get all the coverage. She turned to the camera and smiled.

"Mimi here making sure to cover all the *exciting* events! Im here at the release of Gallows, one of the competitions curve balls <3~ Lets see some action~"

She did her cute little twirls and followed Gallows as he rampaged through the forest. She was tickled pink to see he was already attacking a fighter.

"Mimi again with our fighter info! Gallows seems to have targeted Dyne, age 25, American-Japanese, and cute to boot. Lets see how he holds up against Gallows~"


ABA senses heightened a bit. Something seemed off. She headed out a bit in a specific direction and saw a large axe-wielding man, someone who appeared to be a fighter, and a petite girl with a microphone and some sort of floating device. She couldnt help but smile to herself and lick her lips.

"I love the smell of carnage in the evening"

[Tetsanosuke]

The very large momentum of the axe would crush into the stone and dirt of the ground before the swift frame of Dyne jaunted up the shaft of the axe. His hat seemed to fly off and get stuck on a protruding rock at the cliff wall as his fist seemed to catch on fire- Grey and blue fire to boot.

"I don't know who the HELL you are, but have a taste of THIS!" Where his words as he had ascended the ax's shaft, and subsequently came a barrage of 'fiery' furious rocket powered fists to the giant's facade, the black face rag that shawled over his appearance smelling of burning cloth as each fist met it's mark- leaving indentations in the beast of a man's head.

It was at that point Dyne found his leg, yet again, caught by a stray giant hand before tossed into the nearby cliff wall, his body hitting flat at the stone making a gentle indentation in the wall. Slipping to the ground, his body seemed weakened for a few moments before a blue sort of light started bathing him from the ground. what seemed like celestial feathers of gently blue would surround his form as he gathered the chi of the Earth, his eyes echoing this power as the blood from his small facial wound dripped down to his chin.

He was breathing moderately now, as the force of the literal slam had taken another chuck out of his stamina. The aching in his body reminded him of the time back in the cold mountains in northern Michigan, the winters so harsh and the snow so heavy. With that impulse of memory, and with a stern and powerful shout he'd shift all the energies he had gathered into both arms literally surrounding them in shining blue light. "Seems I have to end this fast... Or else I might not survive." The intensity of the light would gently fade, but not without leaving an elegant aura of it's appearance about his arms and then his whole body.

By this time the large man that was Gallows recovered from the burning force of each hit from Dyne, his face seeming to fill into itself again as the rags that covered it smoked with the dying fire of the previous attack. Growling loudly, Gallows brought his axe so it would be firm against his side, sliding one hand to the middle of the shaft before spinning towards Dyne, power was at the height of awe from his display as he became a whirlwind of momentum. Dyne... Wasn't pleased.

Taking a deep breath and summoning the energies that he collected, Dyne sent himself airborne with a graceful and swift jump just barely escaping the spinning top of a giant man- which had carved literally into the cliff side wall. In mid air his hands came together near his side as the chora between them would become filled with yellow-blue light, the cracking of thunder rumbling out from his hands.

"Looks like I'm using this technique.. My first ever self developed technique... Terry wondered about it's utility, but it is my only option now." His memories seemed to drive the intensity of the cacophonous roar that was the energy at his hands wild, before launching the hands downwards with his decent, "THUNDER GEYSER!"

It only occurred to Dyne that others were probably watching at that moment, in the split second that he was at one with the Earth and the air, several energies nearby made him wonder if they really were watching. But it was too late, as he already gathered the will for this strike, and it might be the only opening he really had.

The thoughts passed by as a torrential beam of yellowish blue energy shot down at the center of the spinning top of a beast, his large body spinning into the stone which was literally grinding into his backside as the energy was forced into his front. The ax would ricochet, though, from the cliff wall and towards Dyne while he was still eight feet in the air. His eyes caught the spinning doom as it was possible he couldn't make it in time. But what would happen if he died? What would his master say? Would his father... Accept him in the afterlife?

[MaruDashi]

Minako made sure to move to where Dyne's counter-attack wouldnt effect her, a strong gust of wind being the exception.

"What a fantastic agility shown by Dyne! Lets see what damage his counter attack has-"

She stopped and stared at what looked like the imminent death of the fighter. As much as she loved watching the fights, she didnt like the fighters dying. She covered her hands over her eyes and let out a small shriek, as if the axe was heading towards her instead of Dyne. It wasnt until she heard a clank that she peeked through her hands to see what was happening.


With encouragement from Paracelsus, ABA stepped in. She swung the large key and knocked the axe off its course towards the other fighter. She looked over to him, her expression as it usually was [an odd mixture of bordeom and annoyance].

"Not very fast, are you?"



Minako jumped for joy at the sight of the fighter being saved by another.

"Oh what a treat! Comptetor Alice, codename A.B.A has stepped in and helped Dyne~. Will the two fight it out? Or will they par up to fight against Gallows? Is that even allowed?"

She pulled out her rule book and flipped through a few pages, quickly reading through to see if 2 on 1 of the 'special fighters' was allowed. After a while she tossed the book.

"Who cares?! Lets see what happens instead~"

[Seikyu Kiba]

Hadou watched the camera as Mina was recording the fight, with Gallows challenging Dyne. "Well, this seems interesting, Mina are you sure you're comfortable with getting that close to a gruesome fight?" He asked smirking lightly as he contacted Tom. "Tom, I would like you too report back here immediately." He then looked at Chuu who was as cheerful as ever. "Well my dear sweet girl." He said as he ran his finger across her cheek. "I would like to keep it one until later on..who do you have in mind exactly?" Hadou asked curiously. He also looked on the screen and noticed Grey and Rathnait were fighting as well. "Hmm...this match seems interesting...two psycho paths fighting it out." Hadou contacted Mina again "There is a rule, no 2 vs 1 matches unless approved by one of the announcers...Alice helping Dyne, now that's something I would have never expected however please inform Alice that right now 2 vs 1 matches are not allowed.." He said in an anicent sounding voice. He then patched himself into Armondos radio "Welcome Armondo it's good to see you arrived safely, on the ground you will see your watch, the tournament has started so please challenge who you would like." He smirked lightly again "It also seems like you found Alvaro..nice choice."

Ives noticed Jace had caught up to him, and started talking about how interesting his abilites were. When he asked how he became good he said "running on top of Frances finest buildings." He replied in a tone as calm as his running pace. It felt almost like he was flying, yet his feet were still on the ground. "Young Jace, who is the challenger you want to fight?" He stopped briefly in his tracks and saw what appeared to be a boyfriend girlfriend type pair. He smiled slightly and looked at Jace. "How about these two?" He asked pointing at them. He turned on his holo watch and flipped through everyone. "Riku, Talon, Dyne, Grey, ah here we go....Kissa and Odion there...brother and sister..." He looked at them at more closly and mumbled "Creepy..." He looked down at Jace "You're ability is to mimic people...hence why you were able to catch up with me so fast, this might be an interesting fight." He walked towards the two pair and smiled with a chilling smile. "Hello there, are you up for a little fight?"

[MaruDashi]

Minako looked to the camera, knowing that Hadou was watching. She gave a thumbs up and a wink.

"Of course, being this close gives the best footage!"

She gave a little giggle and nodded to his next comment, showing her understanding.

"Oh miss ABA~"

She motioned for A.B.A to come over.


A.B.A turned to see the young announcer. She shrugged to herself and headed over.

"Im sorry ABA dear, but you cant help Dyne."

"Its Alice. And I was just making sure that...thing didnt violate the rule on no killing the other competitors."

"Ah, but we already have an Al-"

"Hmm?"

"Nothing <3~"

"Mmmhmm, at any rate, I have no intentions of getting more involved then I already have."

[Funny-Bunny]

Amala landed with a splash as she was dropped into the water quite a distance from where the other fighters were placed. She emerged from the water coughing and cursing at the helicopter that was now departing. "You stupid idiot this wasn't the right place! Get back here now!" She sighed and decided to swim the rest of the way to the shore despite her great amount of anger and annoyance for the pilot of the helicopter she boarded. When she made her way to shore she took a hold of her soaking wet braid and twisted the water out it before she began stretching to sooth all the tension that built up over the trip. "There we go." She said sighing in relief as she stretched. After Amala finished stretching she observed her surroundings trying to locate the other fighters she spotted while she was in the air. "I wouldn't have to look if it wasn't for my idiot pilot." She crossed her arms and went into deep thought thinking of ways to punish the man, but she was drawn out of imagination when fireworks went of and voice out of nowhere announced the beginning of the tournament. A smirk fell upon Amala's face after the announcement was over "Well I think this should lift my spirits up. Now all I have to do i.....! OWWW!!! What in the hell just hit me? Amala looked down to see a little crab to scuttle away. "Hmmm... Can crabs fly?" She looked around curious to know who or what caused this since she knew it was a fact crabs couldn't fly. Thats when she spotted a kangaroo. ".... Whats a kangaroo doing here?

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

"Bah, sitting here isn't going to do a bloody thing. I'll just walk up this here river and see if I don't find anyone to fight. Ohhh dammit."
Mizer proceeded to get up and follow the river against its current (Not that he's in the river, just walking opposite of where it's flowing). Occasionally he'd jump in and out for his own personal amusement. Finally after walking what Mizer would call a tedious length he came up to a waterfall. Stumbling to a intereseting scene. Floating in the air with a giant ax coming his way was Dyne. It seemed to Mizer that death was about to swallow him, until a la"rge key parried it out of the way. "Did...a...giant...key....WHAT?!" Then it him him. Miss A.B.A or Alice. "Oh right....why does she have a giant key? No matter, since this is a tournament and well, I have nothing else to do besides fight...all I can do, I'll go see if she's up for it".

Making is way to Alice (Fast forewarding it all =D) he wouldcatch up, "Excuse me Miss.....Alice! Yes, I hope that's right. Nice move you did there saving...Dyne! Yes Dyne, curious since this IS a tournament and we'r meant to fight, would you like to? If you deny, I could understand."

[kei of the flame]

Alvaro stopped in his tracks when the knife landed in the tree infront of him. "WOW!! Great aim! I'm guessing you weren't trying to hit me?" Alvaro said looking in the direction where the knife came from. He noticed a man in a suit and a mask on. "Are you also a fighter?" Alvaro didn't ready his stance, because he didn't here a challange be called and he didn't want to just fight a person who just showed him a great deal of aim. To him it was a great talent and to beat him would be a waste of it. "So, Are you?!"

[MaruDashi]

A.B.A turned to see that she was being approached for a fight. She turned to Paracelsus.

"Well?"

"By all means, indulge."

She turned her attention back to her challenger and smiled.

"I accept, uhhh..."

"Mizer."

She turned to the girl and looked her up and down a bit.

"Very knowledgeable I see..."

"Of course, I have to be <3"

She let out a small sigh and redirected her attention back to Mizer.

"I accept, Mizer."

She shifter her stance a bit and grabbed on to Paraclesus's chain, making sure she was ready to swing in offense or defense.

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

"Oh, well then. That's good. It's a shame we can't kil- I MEAN luckily there isn't any killing. I'd hate to die. BUT I digress, sorry"



He would relax his form. His knees bent, and slightly hunched over, arms at his side. His hands would move around sharply as if twitching, as well as his fingers. His head would slowly tild down and his hands would be placed against his. His head would swing side to side and the sounds of weeping, not just him, but various sounds seemed to echo all around. Quickly he would throw his arms to his side and a cold breeze seemd to blow, nothing dangerous, but a breeze cold enough to be noticed. The hearts on his glove would turn blue. The various weeps and moans would cry out with "NO!", "ALICE!" or "WHY, NO!"

His form would shift around slowly, it seemed his movement was shuffling. Finally he would let out a deep cry and lung at Alice, just throwing in a quick simple punch aiming for the chest, if the blow was a fail or success he planned to follow it with another another strike to the side.

[Dr. Hax]

Armondo looked at the individual before him and pointed to the flag of Spain painted on the front of his container. He then pointed to the man and said in a voice scrambled and modified by the mask,

"Llamo Armando Velasquez. Que estas tu mision, hombre?"

Looking at the knife, he pointed to it and made a gesture for the man to return it back. Hopefully, the man could speak the Spanish tongue. It would make things slightly easier on Armondo.

[Blackwick]

She placed the baton in front of her and the pendulum knocking against it, forcing her back several feet. "Oh, looky, it looks really sharp."

One of the knifes that got thrown sliced her right cheek, the second gliding against her left hip, the third almost hitting her elbow but just barely missing. "That hit me." She narrowed her eyes. He pulled back his pendulum and looked like he was enjoying what he was doing.

"Acupoint." She ran forward to one of the Grey's and began pressing points in the body to make his body go limp. She turned to look at the last one. "Your turn." She lunged forward.


Anna ran up into the building and heard a crash. "What the..?" She continues down the hallway and enters a small room, Samuel is pacing and is looking like he is going to explode. "I'm sorry that I am late." I place my hands on my knees and try to cool my breathing. "Stupid boat dropped me off on the wrong side of the island and I kind of got lost."

[FaroDomisai]

Grey gasped as he was hit by the incoming baton, the other clone on the left dissapeared "Well done young lady," Grey rubbed his forehead when he threw his pendulum it was deflected back, his pendulum went sailing into a tree and stuck there "Blast you!" he said growling "That is it!" he said as he attracted his claws out "Panthers Fury!" he rapidly lunged forward wildly swinging his arms at her his thrusts and swipes getting bigger and bigger "Feel the power of the cat" he noticed her lunging forward smirking knowing this may give him an advantage.


Riku noticed a young girl sitting on the beach, she was wet so it seemed as though she came swimming out of the ocean "What kind of girl comes out of the ocean?" he thought to himself as he scratched his ear "Well I could at least try and make friends, or challenge her" he said as he hopped over towards the girl and called out to her "HELLO!" he said happily bouncing over to her his black and red fur sparkled in the sunlight and his golden eyes piered down at her "My name is Riku...Welcome to...this...island..I don't know what it is called but it is a rather nice place...deadly but nice" he said giving a small smile

[Blackwick]

She was moving backwards, trying to avoid getting diced into pieces. Her shirt had a cut through the lower part of it, her fingers were getting caught up in the slicing. She threw the baton up in the air and hit a tree. His claws entered her skin on her arms as she defended her face. The baton fell down and wacked him on top of his head.

[Funny-Bunny]

Amala stared with her sky blue eyes wide and her mouth gaped in amazement at the fact that a Kangaroo just talked to her. "Crabs can't fly and I know for a fact that kangaroos can't talk. What kind of island has these sort of things?" She thouht to herself."What in the hell are you? And don't tell me your a talking kangaroo because thats impossible."

[FaroDomisai]

Grey looked up at the Baton as it smacked himself straight in the face, he fell down on his butt grabbing his face, he pulled his hand away from his face seeing as his hand was bleeding, he looked up at her and gave a small smile with a glare in his eyes "You..you are a worthy opponent for a young girl," he said grabbing the chain of his pendulum and ripping it out of the tree, he spun it as his side and glared at her "Prepare yourself" he said as he flung the pendulum forward sending it flying directly at her, he twisted it around her attempting to tie her up with the chain.



Riku nodded laughing a little "I can talk because this of this special collar" he pointed to the collar around his neck "If you have any questions about what is going on, please ask the..well the announcers"

[Funny-Bunny]

"Ohhhh..." Was her reply as she continued to stare in amazement, but then something clicked on in her head. Amala bunched her hands into fists and stared down Riku in outrage. "Your the dirty little good for nothing that threw that carb at me! My day couldn't have been any worse then it already was and you just had to ruin my day even more!"

[Blackwick]

"I'm not little." Her anger was getting to her. She ducked as the chain came towards her and it tugged her hair as it wrapped around that tree. "And that is my hair you trapped." Rathnait started to pull her self away from the tree but had to sit back down, her hair was hurting her when she tried to get up.

Lily, at that moment flew in. "Why do you look like you are having trouble?" She barked out at me.

"Watch out, Lily, Grey is behind you." I tell her.

She stomped her foot on my knee. "I don't care who it is, get your butt up or I'm going to make sure you sneeze for the next several days." She spun around and seems Grey who seemed to be preparing to take a final blow. "RUN AWAY!!!" She flew off.

"Told you." Once again she tried to pull away as he struts forward.

[FaroDomisai]

Grey walked slowly over to the girl as he stared down at her picking up his pendulum "If you are hurt, I suggest you go to the nearest healer" he said grabbing her arm and lifting her up off the ground "But I'll spare you more pain and go easy on you with the final blow" he said as his right arm came up into her hip, he then dropped her gently on the ground and turned away from her "You were a worthy opponent, if you want a rematch I am always up for it" he said as he headed deeper into the jungle.


Riku's ears stood up as she screamed at him "I am terribly sorry, but that crab pinched me, I had no intention of hitting you with it" he said as his tail thudded against the ground, "Anyway, you seem to have an attitude"

[Mr. Nobody]

"I'm sorry that I am late." A remarkably young looking girl came running up, trying to catch her breath. "Stupid boat dropped me off on the wrong side of the island and I kind of got lost."

Samuel cast a cool look at her, kind of annoyed she wasn't here on time, but knew it wasn't her fault.

"No matter, your tardiness gave me time enough to rig an attachment to the Lion so you can ride along with me." Samuel then turned to the back of the mech and proceeded to point to some sort of capsule attached. It greatly resembled a motorcycle sidecar, but with several gadgets located in the front. It also had a windshield to protect Anna from any debris that may come along as they soom across the landscape.

"There, is where you will sit, while there, you will have all the comforts I get. A/C, seatbelts, and live feed from the tournament, showing who is fighting whom and at what location." He then got up into the cockpit and fastened his seatbelt. "No time for play now Anna, we got some poor saps to heal."

[Blackwick]

She stares at him as he starts to walk away. "You are just giving up just like that?" She stomped her foot with her bad leg and then flinched from that. "Seems to me that you have a soft side and the might be bad." Bubbles was peeking around one of the trees, trying to hide away from Grey. "I'm not giving up without any real damage." She was trying to show that she was stronger than what she really was, straining to stand up and allowing her arms to hang away from her sides. "Chicken."

"Don't call him names, you are lucky he allowed you to stay." She hollered over at me. Lavender was right behind her, her eyes showing what she couldn't say out loud.

He continued to walk away as she threw her baton at the back of his head. "Are you even listening to me? I'm not finished."


She slowly jumped onto the Lion. "Are you sure that this thing is safe?" She fastened her seat belt and placed her sword under her left leg so it wouldn't fly out. "Let's just hope that someone will need our help.

[Funny-Bunny]

"What are you talking about?"Said while crossing her arms and continueing to stare him down. "I just have a problem with people or in your case talking animals throw crustation at me." Amala looked over Riku reviewing him in her mind trying to figure out if he is threatning in any way. "Riku was what you called yourself, right? Well anyway are you a fighter?"

[FaroDomisai]

Grey stumbled forward and grunted as a lump appeared on his head, he rubbed his head making his hair shine because of the blood, he turned around and walked back over to her "I am letting you go, because if I kill you, I get disqualified." he said licking his lips "But you would be good to kill" he said kneeling down and whispered "Unless you want me to finish you off" he said lifting her up again by the right foot this time dangling her upside down.


Riku laughed softly as boxing gloves formed around his hands, metal spikes shot out of them giving him spiked knuckles "Yes I am, I am going to become the next King of Fighters, the money is not important to me, I have no use of it" he said as he gave a few air jabs "I lived on this island before the tournament I know the island like the back of my...paw


OOC: By the way this is my final post until tomorrow

[Funny-Bunny]

Amala smiled and softly laughed at his comment of knowing the island well, but soon after adorned a smirk. "You really think your going to win theis competition. I'm sorry but your sadly mistaken." She said while putting her hands out in front of her and cracking her knuckles. "Because I know for a fact that I'm going to win."

[The Rogue Devil]

Talon had his training interrupted by the familiar sounds of battle around him. He looked at the watch as the hologram of the locations of the other fighters appeared.
"Hmmmm....Ives,Jace,Alvaro,Armondo......Ok got it." Talon said getting out of the cool spring, " I think it's time to pay any of the four a visit."

Talon chuckled to himself as he began to walk the island in search of a good challenge.

[kei of the flame]

Alvaro threw the knife back at the random Spainard. "¿Usted habla español a?!" He then noticed the spanish flag. "Ah otro Spainard." Alvaro felt confortable knowing someone else was fighting for spain, but Alvaro wondered where he was from. "¿De qué parte de España es usted?" Alvaro said walking closer but keeping his distance.

[Dr. Hax]

"Vengo de Barcelona. Y tu? Yo le veía en el anillo de tauromaquia. Como se llamas? Hablo ingles?"

It seemed Armondo wished to talk before taking action. He liked how his possible target looked. He recalled the memories of going to various bullfights and seeing a younger version of this individual. He never knew the name, strangely enough. Now was his chance, though. If the fellow Spaniard spoke more of bullfighting, Armondo could speak of his role of being a project for the military.

[Valkarma]

Ives noticed Jace had caught up to him, and started talking about how interesting his abilites were. When he asked how he became good he said "running on top of Frances finest buildings." He replied in a tone as calm as his running pace. It felt almost like he was flying, yet his feet were still on the ground. "Young Jace, who is the challenger you want to fight?"


Jace was in awe at the reponses this man gave. He was completly unaware of what seemed a cold aura from him. He was too young to care about those things.
"Who I want to fight?" Jace looked puzzled, "Isn't it clear?" He smiled a broad happy one that was full of childish hopes. "Everyone. I want to fight everyone!" He clapped in excitement. It was so much fun hanging with his new friend.


He stopped briefly in his tracks and saw what appeared to be a boyfriend girlfriend type pair. He smiled slightly and looked at Jace. "How about these two?" He asked pointing at them. He turned on his holo watch and flipped through everyone. "Riku, Talon, Dyne, Grey, ah here we go....Kissa and Odion there...brother and sister..." He looked at them at more closly and mumbled "Creepy..." He looked down at Jace "You're ability is to mimic people...hence why you were able to catch up with me so fast, this might be an interesting fight." He walked towards the two pair and smiled with a chilling smile. "Hello there, are you up for a little fight?"


"Wow! How could you tell what my style was. I thought it wasn't recorded?" He asked. "It's true though. My body is unnaturally adaptive. It can fit itself to whatever it wants. I don't know why. It just can." He smiled, "Thick or thin, fast or slow. It can do what it likes in a fight."
Jace stopped with him and looked at the pair that Ives pointed out. They looked cute together, he smiled in childish ignorance.
"Wait? Do you mean two on two or we pick one to fight." He asked. He looked towards them. He blushed slightly, "I don't want to fight the girl. I'll be too nervous." This was a down right lie. In a fight Jace became different but at the moment his young nature made him nervous.
"But if my new friend wants to fight with me then I'll join him." He laughed, "Maybe these two will become our friends after we are done."

[kei of the flame]

" Yes I was a bull fighter and I also speak english!" Alvaro started to think if he could tell who he was by the voice, but how choppy and robotic it was he could tell it was the mask changing his voice. Being to some many bull fighting rings Alvaro could have met him and not remembered. "Oh, yeah. My name Is Alvaro Ambrosio, also from Barcelona. So are you also a bull fighter?"

[Tetsanosuke]

Dyne's body came into a half-tuck sort of motion and he landed at the ground on his feet, watching A.B.A point out some meager difference in ability. So what if his specialty wasn't super speed? He was fast enough as it was. His training was well balanced, and his Chi manipulation could accentuate any of those abilities if he so pleased. On her comment about him being slow he simply gave a titter of laughter, nothing much.

"Thank you, at any rate, Miss." He said with a small smile, she seemed quite eccentric looking, but as far as he could tell she indeed was female and as such he gave her the required respect. Unlike his master Terry he actually took a more polite forward towards women instead of grabbing rears and acting macho.. Which his master never did on purpose. An amazingly amusing concept, but embarrassing none-the-less.

Dyne realized that the masked man named 'Mizer' had appeared, and he was engaging his 'savior' in a fight. When the man started wailing and crying like some mad-melancholy freak he raised an eyebrow, but his disturbing curiosity cut it short as his body tensed when his instincts told him his own fight wasn't over. Rightfully, Gallows shambled to a stand with his backside ripped of any clothing and scarred over with fresh tissue rending. The remains of his black shirt came fluttering off by gravity, and his neck cracked in several places- quite sheer.

"Ouh boy." Dyne would respond to the scene with a large sigh before lifting his arms nearer to his chest, one arm extended forwards while his body would tilt to a side. Gently the light of the Earth's chi would filter into his legs and around his body while he breathed, and Gallows approached with a large impeding fist rocketing forwards.

Now, Dyne may not have been a speed demon, but he was indeed swift, and surely his body bent with the air around the blow making a complete dodge. The giant fist, Subsequently hit the ground crushing in some more stone as Dyne made his counter attack by spinning his body in what would seem like a reverse round house kick, but at the last second he gracefully pushed from the ground and brought his heel down with a fiery aura of power, "CRACK SHO(O)T!"

The heel seemed to burrow into Gallows' shoulder, bringing him onto his left knee with a roar of anger in pain. Though the attack wasn't without error as A powerful fist came into Dyne's midsection, sending him skidding back several meters into a roll, where he'd land on all fores but with the flat of his feet instead of the knees.

"I've really been underestimating this guy's ability to tolerate pain, I should've figure so much at the King of Fighter's tournament..." He lost some breath from that blow, but Gallows' had to recover as well. Dyne heard the scuffle only perhaps seven or so meters down the mountain trail between Alice and Mizer. Two fights in close proximity wouldn't be a good thing in this case. He had to get around Gallows and bring him across the bridge, but how? "Well I'm not supposed to kill the man, sheesh, and he had a damn ax to boot. He's quite strong to have survived this much punishment..." Then an idea came to mind, it was a technique in the Hakyoku Saiken style of fighting that his Master's brother Andy quite enjoyed. That might give him the edge.

"Zaneiken!" Suddenly his body slid across the dirt and stone of mother nature as though his feet felt no friction, but instead of extending his elbow he'd slide under Gallows' legs with extreme speed, tumbling onto the bridge. As adept as he was at the Hakyoku Saiken Style, Andy's techniques weren't the ones he learned best. But it was alright, for he accomplished his goal. Dyne felt the large footsteps of a bulky bare chested Gallows' trailing at his fore, while he picked himself up at the center of the bridge.

(Tune in next post for moar epic action! This is how a Special Fighter VS PC match should go, just as example. ^^; You could say this is a sort of example for any of the other players who gets to take on a special fighter!)

OOC: Awesome turnament so far. x3

[Seikyu Kiba]

OOC: Indeed I am surprised this worked out well.

Hadou payed close attention to each and every fight as the scene was now NIGHT the sun had gone down, he noticed Riku had challenged the new comer Amala. "Well that's interesting enough..." Hadou contacted Sam and the young one Anna. "Sam, Anna it's good to see you guys are out with the rest of the healers, the healers have scattered throughout the island, it also appears that Rathian has taken a lot of damage from the one called Grey as well as Dyne is fighting Gallows, I suggest two healers move to those locations immedialty. But then again you're the healer and I'm just a decaying old fosslie." He got back on the speaker after he noticed Ives and Jace staring at Kissa and Odion. "Well now it seems a 2 vs 2 match will be on it's way, Jace and Ives V.S. Kissa and Odion, who will be the victor in this fight? Lets find out!" Hadou then noticed Zakai and contacted Sam again. "Sam my friend it appears that Zakai is aimlessly standing because he can't speak any languages or understand any languages." Hadou said with a sad old ancient voice "In the small compartment to your left there is an ear piece and a collar, hook them up to Zakai so he can understand and speak any language he feels." He also noticed Nilhelm walking towards the building that they were in. "I thought I told them to stay away from this area." He said, he got on the communicator with Tom and said "Nilhelm is coming towards the building..release anyone of your liking."

Ives smiled lightly at Jace "I took a wild guess, no none of the abilites or styles are recorded." He said coldly, Ives looked up and heard the announcment about a 2 vs 2 fight. "I meant do we fight together or seperate." He said as he relaxed himself. "But it appears out questions have been answered, it looks like we are fighting together against this brother and....sister duo." He didn't cringe but his mind recieved some very distasteful images. "Don't be so sure about this, remember this isn't about picking up allies it's about winning this tournament." He was in this to win, but his nature was to never let some young go off on their own, so he kept Jace around. "Since you can copy my attacks without using alchol you could be a useful person to take these down, if you can copy their styles and combined it with mine that would make a worth while style." He said smirking slightly.

[Dr. Hax]

"I thought about becoming a bullfighter but I joined the military instead. I was chosen to be a part of their black project. It was to construct a new form of soldier that they consider biological weapons. I had mechanical implants and various chemical mixtures placed into me. After the operation, they performed many training simulations on me. Passing each one, they gave me the task of participating here, against actual opponents to see if there are any kinks they need to work out. These soldiers are known as "specialists"."

Armondo threw his knife at a log, took an aggressive stance and continued.

"Indeed, I am challenging you but it is for my performance test and for the military of glorious Spain. Knowing about you and bullfighting, I can tell that evasion is your best bet. Come on."

[kei of the flame]

"I am no easy target remember I fought bulls." Alvaro said smiling "Yes I am a perfect evasionist!" Alvaro jumped back a little landing on his right foot followed by the left. "You can have the first move, permite comienzo!"

[Dr. Hax]

"I understand you're no easy target however, adaptation can make even the hardest targets easy to catch. That's something I learned. Now for my first field test."

Armondo scanned the ruins to check his surroundings, watching his opponent from time to time. He didn't rushed but instead kicked a good sized rock at Alvaro and then moved in for the strike. The military was nothing short of excellent for Armondo and this training would prove for new learning experiences.

Just match his movement, Armondo. Where he goes, you go. What he does, you counter. Stay on him like a stinger missile locked onto an enemy fighter.

[kei of the flame]

Alvaro jumped in the air avoiding the rock. He started to spin clockwise in the air increasing his speed and placing his feet together, coming down from the sky, he placed his hands to his sides to increase his rotation speed. Bull fighting comes in handy when in a real fight. "¡Yo le mostraré un toro verdadero!(I'll show you a real bull)"

[Dr. Hax]

Armondo smiled underneath his mask and followed underneath Alvaro as he spun in midair. He jumped and grabbed the smallest, most vulnerable part during the spin, the neck area and brought the bullfighter into the ground, readying a spear hand for the solar plexus afterwards. He began to quickly bring it down, thinking...

Sure I'm slowing the speed of this strike to a vital point but he better counter this. If not, he needs to work on speed and skill again. Then I shall look for a stronger opponent. I shall look for an opponent harder to adapt to.

[The Rogue Devil]

Talon, following the energy of the other fighters, could tell that everyone near him were either fighting or either getting into a fight. By the look of things he figured that there won't be anyone for him to fight.
"CAN ANYONE GIVE ME A DECENT CHALLENGE!!! ANYONE!!!" Talon yelled out, "I'LL TAKE ON ALL CHALLANGES FROM ANYONE!!!"

[kei of the flame]

Alvaro came down towards the ground and was taken down with a hand over his throat. "Guess I can't take him easily." he thought. Alvaro brought chi over his hands and before the spearhand hit his face he forced both palms into Armondo's chest stating th name of the move to give him more effect "Toro Doble Palma!", knocking him off of Alvaro. Alvaro started spining on his back to get up faster while creating a defense. "Looks like I will have to stay on the ground to win this one!" He thought to himself " I could take a lesson from this man and use my surroundings more? Okay I will try."

[Blackwick]

Her leg began to feel like it was going to break off, the slice upon the leg was stretching and making it open more. The blood was rushing to her head and she felt as if everything was happening in a slow pace. She swong her arm up to hit him but ended up hitting air. "You tall, gruesome, over darkened, over death filled, little peace minded, totallly over blown, frog smelling person. Just because I'm a girl and that I'm badly injured doesn't mean I want death easily and doesn't mean I want to give up on trying either." She started seeing dots in her eyes.

"Say I quit, Rathnait, said it. He is going to kill you if you don't." Bubbles said, her voice seeming to fade away. "Lavender, find a healer, fast." She ordered.

It sounded as if he was laughing at himself or maybe a bad joke, but she was having a hard time trying to think, trying to keep her eyes open. She pushed up on his wrist with her foot and it seemed to just irritate him more and his grip on her ankle tightened more. The pain going through her wasn't pleasent and she was glaring at him as she could see the moon arising. "All day, and it seems... you've....." Her eyes shut as tiredness began to sink in. "won..." She could feel her watch beginning to vibrate slightly as if warning her about something and then nothing.

OOC: LOSER LOSER LOSER LOSER

[FaroDomisai]

Grey smirked and turned her right side up grabbing her by the jaw, he whispered into her ear "Damn straight I won" he said tossing her aside like a rag doll, before she hit the ground he whipped up his pendulum, snapped it at her like a whip sending the pendulum straight towards her backside, then into her backside, sending her into a tree making enough force to make an imprint of a pathetic excuse for a human being in the tree, he pulled back his pendulum catching it by the ring connecting the blade and the chain. "I defeated my first opponent, now onto my next" he said as he packed up his pendulum placing it in his case, before he walked off he said to her "A healer is on its way," he walked deeper into the jungle to search for his next challenger humming a gentle tune.

OOC: GREY WINS, FATALITY!


Riku beat his boxing gloves together and winked at the girl "I don't think that will be possible" he said as he thought in his mind "The day I arrived here, I was caged in the building where the announcers and the champion hung out, I learned to speak in full sentence by listening closely to what they were saying. showing emotion was a problem though, I wanted to be like a human, the King had me train with the much stronger fighters they had in store for the competitors of the island who have arrived" he got into his boxing pose and started bouncing a little "Let us begin, you have accepted your fate...and your fate...is losing"

[Funny-Bunny]

Amala smirked at his remark with a twinkle in her eyes and whipped her braid to the side so it was resting on her back "I didn't train for 12 long hard years to get my right to be heir of my family taken from me then to top it all off have some little kangaroo thinking he can best me in a fight." She thought to herself while getting into her own fighting stance ready to win and kick his a**. "Bring it on you little Roo knock off from Winnie the Poo!"

[Dr. Hax]

"Very good, countering my spearhand. You barely escaped it although I wasn't going full speed and the face was not what I was aiming for. Since nothing but ruins lay around us, I think I'll change it up a bit."

Laying an eye to the area, Armondo hopped to the side of a pillar and came down from it at Alvaro, attempting a snap to the side of the head with the idea of a feint in mind. His thought was to make like he was going to connect and then give him the underlying pressure by pressing up on one hand from the ground to give a kick from each foot right square underneath the jawline.

[Mr. Nobody]

"Sam, Anna it's good to see you guys are out with the rest of the healers, the healers have scattered throughout the island, it also appears that Rathian has taken a lot of damage from the one called Grey as well as Dyne is fighting Gallows, I suggest two healers move to those locations immedialty. But then again you're the healer and I'm just a decaying old fosslie."

"Yes, Hadou." Samuel said. "I will be there shortly to take care of it."

'I hope your are strapped in tight Anna.' thought Samuel. Flipping a few switches, Samuel then gunned it, sending the mech flying forward at breakneck speeds into the forest. With surprising agility, he managed to avoid ramming into any trees and then...

"Sam my friend it appears that Zakai is aimlessly standing because he can't speak any languages or understand any languages."

'Hm? What concern is it of mine?' I would understand it if he damaged his voice box or some medical reason, but what does him not being able to speak have to do with me?' though Samuel, trying to pay attention while not crashing into trees in the dark.

"In the small compartment to your left there is an ear piece and a collar, hook them up to Zakai so he can understand and speak any language he feels."

'Ah, there goes my answer. Well, i don't want to deny a tournament participant a chance to gloat, so let us hurry to this wounded Rathain. So...'

Allowing a child like grin to slip past his cool facade, he looked towards the 'Lever'.

Grasping it firm, he shoved it forward.

"GO!" Samuel shouted, rare excitement flowing through his body. Suddenly, the mech began to rise and rise until they were about 20 feet off the ground. Letting his cool mask to fall off completely off his face, he then flipped a few switches and gunned it, eager to reach the wounded contestants, give Zakai his Communicator, and try out his mech.

[FaroDomisai]

Riku let out a bleet, ears twitching "Did you just call me Roo? I am flattered but, you're attempts to insult me...you're trying to hard don't hurt yourself" he said glaring at her "Me being your first opponent, was your first mistake" he said going into a sprint(OOC:A really fast hop) straight towards her, he appeared infront of her, looking her straight in the eyes and attempted to deliever a right jab to her cheek, then a left jab, he then pulled his arm back and springed it forward letting out a barrage of straight punches.

[Blackwick]

As Samuel was flipping a few switches, and looking at several others. He better be careful with this thing, it might flip on us if he isn't too careful.
"GO!" He shouted as he gun it, the machine lifting off of the ground several feet.

"Samuel, what the hades is going on?" His mask sliding off as he was grinning like a preschooling finally getting his cookie for snack time. She tucked the sword farther under bother her legs and covered her eyes. "Just don't crash."

[kei of the flame]

As Armondo jumped on the pillar Alvaro began to think "Time for a change of scenery." He started to run towards the forest and hopped in "Come on Armondo, time for a change of scene!!!" He said runnig into the forest coming to a stop where he would wait for Armondo to come.

[Dr. Hax]

Landing on the ground, Armondo merely watched Alvaro enter. He shook his head and thought to himself.

Your clothing speaks it all. I wear black. The only red I have would be the lenses on this mask but they're a dark shade. Let's really see how you perform in jungle warfare.

Armondo ran into the forest and jumped into some trees to stalk his prey. There he was, a man determined to win the match. There was also an altered human who was running a field test on himself for any bugs in his system. He kept a rock on hand and "dropped" it into some bushes.

If he falls for the trap, I can deliver the final attack. I can't kill though. Those are the rules here as well as orders from my commanding officer.

[Tetsanosuke]

OOC: Welp, accidentally did orange last post. eh. Ouh well.

Ressuming his stance again, and narrowing his eyes, the sweet cool drops of water which sprayed from the waterfall brought his focus back into precision gear, the large form stomping its way over to him wasn't intimidating anymore as Dyne felt that he'd read his opponent enough to get a grasp of his style. It wasn't really a style at all- just grabbing where he could and pure strength as well as that annoying ax. Dyne felt lucky that the ax was gone, so very damn lucky.

But he hadn't any time to breathe in relief as the first of Gallows' swings almost connected with his chest, if it wasn't for a quick step back. In response he swept some of the remaining bits of Earth's chi into his palm and lashed it at Gallows' eyes. This temporarily blinded him with the burning of pure energy before he swung his body into a fluent round house kick, the whole thing in one graceful motion. The kick made it's mark, as the large beast of a man slid back roaring out from his burning mask and facade.

The bridge seemed to jaunt some under the weight of shifting forms, and Dyne wasn't as reckless as his Master. Taking that time he ran his way all the way across the bridge to the opposite side from Mizer and A.B.A to reassure his grounding, as well as that of Gallows'. He knew there was no killing, even if that ax could have killed him- he wasn't going to break the rules without much more reasonable motivation. Hence why he awaiting Gallows' instead of destroying the bridge to let him fall.

Taking a deep breath whilst allowing his meridians to open fully to the Earth, his arms spread out and seemed to absorb the feather-like fluttering bits of gentle blue light rising from the ground around his form. He decided it was best to borrow from Mother Earth rather then expend his own 'tanks' so to say, though they were indeed vast. This allows Gallows time to make it across the bridge and literally come into a powerful jack-knife tackle in the middle of Dyne's focus. Gasping out for Air the black-schemed practitioner of the Hakyoku Saiken style hit a nearby small tree down the mountain trail, and slid to his knees. His breath was deep, and the cut at his right cheek was still bleeding.

'There's no end to this guy is there?' He thought to himself before rolling to the left side, avoiding a fist which crushed into the ground- that was almost his body. 'HOLY-' Was his only thought in response as he didn't think the big guy would have gotten on track that fast. But it was his time to shine again as he knew what he could do.

The energy he had gathered was just energy to put a bang on this large menace, and rightfully Dynes right arm lifted and fell with great speed shooting what seemed like a tumbling tidal wave, or a tumbling shockwave of blue and red energy against Gallows' fore, shouting for his focus; "POWER WAVE!"

The large beast of a man was literally carried off and onto his backside at the stone ground, blood staining the surrounding rock as his backside wounds were still pretty bad, even for that seemingly mindless beast of slaughter. When the gentle blood flow stopped Dyne wondered what was up with the guy, as Gallows' started getting up again. But before he could get to a knee Dyne used the ground as a spring board to send his left knee into his solar plexus, the beast coughing out as finally it seemed the pain and damage was getting to him.Though when Dyne tried unleashing a fury of fists at the beast's face a large arm took most of the damage, and the other swung at Dyne's other knee essentially flipping him backwards.

As he'd hit the ground at his upper back Dyne grunted in pain, but he used this to his advantage, "LET'S TRY THIS ONE MORE TIME! RISING TACKLE!" He managed to grunt and shout out as painfully he'd arc his body and lift it by his hands, again using the Earth as a springboard to launch a spinning fury of kickes towards the Facade of Gallows. The beast's body seemed to bobble one kick after the other as eventually the force of the kick and the final push from the ground sent him and Dyne air born.

"GOT YAH!" He'd shout as the giant frame of Gallows flew five meters into the cliff wall, landing only two meters from him at a knee. He stood up holding his side as the large form stayed still, breathing, but still. It seemed as though Gallows' was unconscious.

As though the Earth had it planned, Dyne's hat flew from the protruding stone across the bridge and towards it's owner via a strong breeze, which he caught and placed on his head before saying to his foe; "You're strong.. Although, are you okay?" (Hint, hint, BUSTA WOLF x3)

The darkness came right on time, the end of the fight was marked with sundown, and he wondered if A.B.A and Mizer were still fighting over there.

WINNER: DYNE LOCKE ORDON... HE MIGHT NEED SOME HEALING.

Tom took into consideration which special fighter he should release, and though that perhaps the best fighter should be more like a brawler then any. Gallows was just a murderer, and otherwise it didn't seem like many would suit his fancy. Until he remember the prick of a telekinetic that he just LOVED to death.

"OUH! I think I KNOW who'll be best!" Skipping down the hallway he'd reach the elevator, going back to the previous floor. He opened the door and motioned for the being inside to go on.

"..." The being seemed to speak in Tom's head, and Tom responded back with his signature dramatic pose and some of his own thoughts. "...!"

After which he found himself tossed out of the room, though he back flipped his way to safety against the window before the special fighter floated from the room and out the nearest open window towards his target.

[Valkarma]

Ives smiled lightly at Jace "I took a wild guess, no none of the abilites or styles are recorded." He said coldly, Ives looked up and heard the announcment about a 2 vs 2 fight. "I meant do we fight together or seperate." He said as he relaxed himself. "But it appears out questions have been answered, it looks like we are fighting together against this brother and....sister duo." He didn't cringe but his mind recieved some very distasteful images. "Don't be so sure about this, remember this isn't about picking up allies it's about winning this tournament." He was in this to win, but his nature was to never let some young go off on their own, so he kept Jace around. "Since you can copy my attacks without using alchol you could be a useful person to take these down, if you can copy their styles and combined it with mine that would make a worth while style." He said smirking slightly.


Jace stood wide eyed and mouth open.
"I've. Never. Thought. Of. Doing. THAT!" He suddenly said slowly and annoyingly. "Oh that would be amazing, combining styles into one...I've never even tryed it. I've never even thought of it. Wow! Your smart." He pointed at him as if to enforce his point.
"But you know drinking is bad for you. You shouldn't do it. Might end up with liver damage." He nodded to himself, "Yep liver damage that's what the guys told me. It's why I wasn't allow it. They had already damaged their livers in fighting so they said they could as it would cause no more harm. But mine still a good liver so I wasn't allowed it." he smiled and nodded again to himself. He then pointed to Lves. "So you should try and quit drinking." He smiled oblivious to what he was telling Ives to do.
"Anyways. I will fight with you. It will be fun. Then we can make friends with these two and then all four of us can hang out together and have fun. It will be amazing."

[Funny-Bunny]

"Really? Thats what I was exactly thinking." Amala said while quickly preparing for his oncoming attacks, stareing sternly into his eyes when he came at her letting him know that she wouldn't go down so easily. With practiced ease she blocked the first oncoming jab with her left forearm then the next with her right hand. But when he started to rain down a barrage of punches Amala sidstepped each blow while almost invisibly to the untrained eyes applied pressure to the muscles in his arms making them lax and ineffective compared to his normal stength.

[FaroDomisai]

Riku leapt back as his arms were unable to move, he gave a scuff "Aww and I thought I was gonna be able to play with you, oh well" he spread his legs and crouched down "Shadow of Nature!" his muscles in his legs and arms grew bigger and more muscular than his normal arms and legs, he lifted his arms up to his sides "I will make you squirm!" he said punching forward sending a barrage of spikes from his boxing gloves towards her, his golden eyes changed to a blazing gold like they were burning gold, the veins beneath his fur were clearly visible, he then grabbed her arm and left back leaning on his tail sending a blow to her stomach with both of his feet with such incredible force it could shatter bones.


Grey hummed and sang to himself as he wondered through the jungle "Do what you want cause a pirate is free! you are a pirate!" Grey felt so refresed during that fight but felt sorry in a way for the girl, since she had more damage and all he had was a cracked skull, a knot on his head and his self respect lost because he got his butt kicked by a baton. he then continued his song

""Do what you want, ‘cause a pirate is free,
YOU ARE A PIRATE!
Yar har, fiddle di dee,
Being a pirate is alright to be,
Do what you want ‘cause a pirate is free,
You are a pirate!

[Seikyu Kiba]

OOC: I have updated current rankings...too bad only the GM's can see it. XD Btw I am taking over Kissa and Odion with Shobus permission while Chuumi is with Maru.

Odion noticed the young boy and what appeared to be a bartender he took a deep breathe for the bartenders smile sent a chill up his spine "Eerie." They were asking for a fight, with a sinister smirk he looked to his sister and said "It appears these two are asking for a challenge dear sister." He heard the announcement of a 2 vs 2 fight and heard their names being called "Well...it appears we don't have a choice, we accept your challenge." From his pocket he removed a blind fold and put it on blocking out all vision, yet all his other senes heightened. "I'll take the young boy." Odion did a small hand stand and then cartwheeled towards Jace aiming for him with surprisingly perfect aim even though he was blind.

Kissa noticed her brother getting ready, apparently she was fighting the calm relaxing bartender. She gave the same creepy sinister smirk and stood on one leg balancing perfectly. "Lovely brother I do say that these two will fall before us." She ran towards Ives and went for a spining jump kick right at Ives face. Kissa was determined to get this over with, she wanted to win and pay for the shop they owned and live happily with her brother.

Ives smiled at Jace "However given your current state at a young age switching styles could do some damage to the mind if it's running at a faster rate, so I would recommend you not doing that."Ives looked at the two opponents after hearing it was a 2vs2 match. "Well now Jace it appears we will be fighting together anyway." He said with a smirk. He looked over the two, they appeared to be uncomfortably close. "I'll take the girl, you can take the guy." He was ready, itching to test his abilities out, once they accepted their challenge his smile got wider as he removed a small bottle that appeared to be Burdon/Whiskey. Once he noticed the surprise flying kick he blocked one spin but the other got him in the face stumbling back slightly. "This will take longer then I though Jace." He said wiping the small blood stream from his mouth. Ives took a small sip of Burdon and said "Burdon/Whiskey makes you pay attention." At that Ives's mind focused on everything. He watched Kissa slow down, he was capable of reaching out and grabbing her leg, which he did. He spun her around and sent her flying towards a tree.

Kissa was surprised to be caught with her spinning kick, no one has ever been able to catch her at that speed. But she remembered once she knocked him back he took a sip of some kind of drink. "Does it..do something to him." She was spun and flown against a tree. She slammed against it and coughed, it didn't hurt her to much for she braced herself before everything. She opened her eyes and got up, stumbled a bit but still kept that devilish smirk.

Hadou was pleased once he heard that Sam was on his way. "Such a good boy." He said turning towards Chu. "Back in my day people were complete scumbags...almost like the government but not as worse." He said with a smirk. He continued watching the monitors slowly. Ives, Jace, Kissa and Odion seemed to be fighting. Grey is singing about pirates being free, which is almost true. Armondo and Alvaro were duking it out all Spanish like. It also appeared Riku has challenged the Amala person. Hadou watched Dyne pretty much die. Rathian was..well not in good condition but with the Healers out she shouldn't die. Hadou saw Alice and Mizer fight, which was very interesting because Mizer was crying like a wuss. He realized that Psycho Mantis has floated out of his cell. He contacted Tom, "So Psycho Mantis? Nice choice...however what's with them using the windows...don't they know we have to PAY to get them fixed?"

OOC: I will be taking Gallows now.

Gallows got up from where he laid, rubbed his head and looked at Dyne. He stood up and got down on one knee, bowing in honor that Dyne gave him a worthy fight. Gallows walked over to his axe and retrieved it. He was surprisingly in pain, his body felt as though a million daggers hand impaled him. A true warrior Dyne is, he walked for a few until running into Sam and Anna. He stopped in front of them, and pointed towards the waterfall area, of course Gallows was badly damaged he pointed at his back, meaning that he needed healing as well.


OOC: KEEP IN MIND IF YOU'RE INJURED AND SAM AND ANNA AREN'T AROUND, TAKE CONTROL OF A HEALER, DON'T GIVE HE/SHE A NAME JUST MAKE IT FIND YOU AND HEAL YOU. A HEALER STEPS OF ITS SUITE, YES THEY ARE HUMAN, AND HEAL YOU...You can make them talk or not that's up too you. They heal you by laying their hands over you...thank for your attention. :D

[Mr. Nobody]

Samuel noticed Gallows and his condition and immediately brought the Lion down. He then noticed him gesturing towards the waterfall. Taking this as indication that he wounded a fighter, Samuel hopped out of his mech, grabbed his med kit, and ran towards the falls.

"Anna, you take care of Gallows!" He shouted back, sure she would patch him up nicely.

Spotting Dyne, he rushed towards his side and began to examine him, starting with his torso since he was holding it.

'Bruised ribs, nothing to worry about...'

Reaching into his Medkit, he brought out some pain relieving medication, an ice pack, and a towel. Opening the top off the medication, he held out two pills out to Dyne.

"Here, and hold still while I apply the ice pack. Please, find somewhere to rest as your ribs heal for about 24 hours. Or, do you want to go the quick and painful route and allow me to use my energy to heal you?"

[Luzifer]

Psycho Mantis moved towards Nilhelm not because he was following orders but because he couldn't ignore him. The boys thoughts were... strange beyond belief, almost inhuman, they flowed outward without rhyme or reason, and turned back on themselves. But he knew very well those couldn't be real... its was impossible someone who thought like that would have lived couldn't have survived. There was no way that whatever that was could be a person it had to be a lie.

Mantis moved quickly and Nilhelm was moving toward them so the their distance closed almost immediately. Nil didn't seem aware of Mantises presence but the boys thoughts could not be trusted. After stalking his prey for a short while, trying to fully crack his labrythine network of unborn thoughts, Mantis decided that the only recourse was to directly engage him. His thought was that forcing Nil to act in the moment would would force him into an intentional stance.

Mantis shot a blast of psychic force into a tree causing it to snap free from its roots and hurtle towards Nil. The boy either did not notice or did not avoid the tree (his thoughts gave no indication of surprise) and to the tree hard to his flank breaking his left arm. Mantis smiled, he was at the advantage and would press his luck, picking up the boy with telekinesis and slamming him into another tree full force. Nil coughed up blood, but still his thoughts didn't seem to register Mantis.

Mantis frowned at this. Surely the boy was aware of him. He could see the child's eyes fluttering, could see his hands working against the invisible grip that held him. But his thoughts said otherwise. It perplexed him. But it didn't matter. Mantis had already won. He had to boy in his grip and repeatedly slammed him against ground. "Acknowledge me you fool!" he sneered beneath his mask but the boys thoughts seemed to shift and change around him. The boy was justifying some action he wasn't taking, wondering about what their was in moving, and why the trees seemed so blurry. But the boy refused to acknowledge the pain, the sensations.

Mantis contemplated letting the boy go for a moment, to see what effect that would have. But wasn't confident enough. The boy had gotten in to this tournament, he must have some fighting talent, if Mantis let go, he might never regain control. Instead, he pulled the boy close and once more tried to force his way past the boy's shell of chaotic thoughts. The harder he pushed the more the way into the boy's mind seemed to haze. But then...

Emptiness. Void. Silence. And then a great gale, a gale which blew in a thousand directions, a million thoughts and moments all at once, eternal and dead. And behind them... a smile.

Mantis regained focus to find himself several feet away from the boy who was just standing there uninjured, unharmed. What? Hadn't he... he looked at the trees, all of them were intact. Nothing had happened? He looked back at the boy, the chaos of his thoughts was rearranging himself and then Mantis cursed himself. When he had been trying to reach his mind... 'earlier' (what felt like earlier but what was really just an instant before) he must have made a mistake, the chaos of the boy's thoughts must have snatched him and he had fallen into a fantasy in the boy's ever changing mind. It seemed odd that Nilhelm would fantasize about himself getting beaten up but nothing about him made any sense.

Still, Mantis remembered that smile, and resolved to be more careful in the future.

"I wonder has he found me yet? I went against a military operative before he is most likely hiding." Alvaro closed his eyes. "I haqve used chi like this before lets try again." Alvaro started to see things through ear. Any vibration caused Alvaro to see (Just like the movie Dare Devil) like it was bright as day. As the rock dropped Alvaro saw in that direction a man in the trees. "Come on down the water's fine." Alvaro said laughing opening his eyes.

[Blackwick]

"Anna, you take care of Gallows!" He hollered as he flew over somewhere else.

"You be careful Samuel." She walked carefully over, making sure not to alarm the large and scary, blood stained, person. "Hello, Gallow, I'm here to help." She said slowly, placing her hands on his stomach and allowing the energy around her to flow and heal his wounds. "You're going to be alright, big boy."

He grumbled and his eyes shot open. A slow growl seemed to come out and then he sat up, his head turning left and then right, stretching out his arms and standing up, shaking out his legs and then picking up his larg hammer. She stood up and took several steps back. "Easy." He turned towards her and seemed to look mad, very mad. "Maybe next time you can have a piece of your opponent?" She squeeked out. He moved towards the forest, something sounded like cracking splinters and a tree fell over on the ground.

She started heading towards Samuel, who was near Dyne. "Man, he is scary." The water fall was gleaming and it seemed to show no beauty in it what so ever. THe only thing she knew was that Samuel was alone and she would be fired if he was attacked by anyone while she wasn't near him.



"Sam, found Rathnait and she is going to be up and moving shortly." Moving over and straightening out her body, checking her pulse on her left wrist and placed an cold cloth on her forehead. Placing both hands on her stomach, the healer allowed energy to flow out and into her body. Bruises and scratches start to heal up and close up. Her skin color began going back to its normal color and she began to move around.

Checking the holomap, the healer checks to see who else needs healed at the moment.

[MaruDashi]

ABA smiled to herself. This guy was interesting. She saw the punch he threw at her and leaped backwards onto Paracelsus. She sat on top of him and licked her lips.

"My my, arent you interesting. A bit slow, but interesting..."

She had already lost interest in the fight, her new interest was seeing if he was a worthy host.

"Do tell me about your powers. Or should I beat you first?"

Her pupils flared a bit and her eyes went from green to red. She had shifted into Moroha mode. It made her much faster than she already was, but also made her more susceptible to damage. It was a risk, but usually the hits were never fast enough to connect.


Minako got a buzz on her earpiece about another special fighter being released. Her eyes widened and her smile grew. She turned to the camera and swapped on her PA for the other fighters to hear.

"Mimi here with the latest update! It seems Balisk has been released! He is said to be located by the islands springs. Oh me oh my, I wander what fighters are in that area!~"

She let out a small giggle.

"Oh, this just in~ It seems Balisk has appeared in front of fighter Talon <3. Lets see how this match goes~"

She flipped off the PA and went back to reporting on-camera.

"Lets go head over and see the action, shall we <3?"


Chuumi twirled her hair and listened to the announcement. She giggled with excitement when she heard that Balisk was now released as well.

"Balisk is such a cute lil snake, chuu~"

She pouted at Hadou.

"I still wanted to pick the next one. Can I pick the next one, pleeeaaase?"

She gave him a cute 'hurt puppy' look in hopes that her cutness would win him over and let her pick the next fight.

[Dr. Hax]

Armondo swung from the tree above Alvaro to hopefully land by his side and pull him into an arm bar on the ground. He wanted to end this without breaking a bone but would if necessary. He grabbed the arm and began to pull Alvaro into the ground, wrapping the legs around the length of the arm.

"Give up, Alvaro. You are not in a position to say "no" considering I can break your arm at a moment's whim. Just forfeit the match and I will let you go. After all, I am fighting for Spain and am testing my capabilities for the military. In addition, I could teach you a few things for your next matches."

Persuasion, forced or not, always works. Besides, if he's going to fight in Spain's honor, he should learn from someone with higher experience.

[Tetsanosuke]

Dyne watched as Gallows left, and then a man came from Gallow's designated direction. The man made him grin though, as he thought he must've been one of those famed 'healers'. He only heard of them, as well as a second hand account by his master, Terry. It was his second love, and that story was too vast and sad to think about at that time. Dyne had won, though with his bruised ribs he wasn't sure how much of a happy victory it was. The cut on the side of his face had already started clotting, which was nice to think about while he wiped the blood off his face with a rag from his pocket.

'Huh, what's the damage?' He thought as he didn't get a chance to speak,a and yes it was bruised ribs. His backside was also in a lot of pain, but only sufficient enough to be counted as mediocre by standards of his training. The snow constaly floating down on those long hikes, turning into jogs as the ice built on the sweat glazed hair. It was harsh, but it was worth every ounce of agony and work.

At that time he heard his options from the Healer of a man, listening intently as his hand covered over the ice pack- taking the pills he was 'issued'.

"Here, and hold still while I apply the ice pack. Please, find somewhere to rest as your ribs heal for about 24 hours. Or, do you want to go the quick and painful route and allow me to use my energy to heal you?"

"Doc, you give me no choice. I'm going to have to ask of you the latter, if you please. The tournament waits for no one, as sad and reckless as it sounds." He'd chuckle though at the thought, to think he managed to fight such a powerful opponent in the first round. Dyne could only hear Terry back at home watching the tournament via satellite, saying 'that's it Dyne, that's why you are there'. He imagined his master's face in the future when he returns home eventually, whether winning or losing. It would be priceless he was sure- in any case.

"But thank you in advance, doc. I'd be a goner without you."

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

Predictable, his strike was avoided with a simple leap. When she asked of his power, as well as her remark filled with vanity, his body sharply spun clockwise, then shooting up straight and tense. The blue hearts on his glove would return to a normal white and he would relax. He would slightly giggle, the reason was unknown. Yet by no means what it a taunt, or vanity itself. It's been long since he actually had to fight. The thought of it made him...a bit...euphoric.

"Mm, confident...or vain. Either way it matters little. I will not claim to beat you, or you beat me. For...I do not know. HOWEVER, for your question about my power. I can tell you - thought words are meaningless now. My power is simple, outside a fight I am strictly emotionless. I do not feel anything. I do not care, however I act as if I do for reasons you don't need to know. In the fight I can unleash my emotions and entered a state. If I unleash wrath, I become stronger, however I lack grace or style. I just randomly swing about; yet with each strike you feel from me, you will feel the fire sof flame roasting you. Literally a strong burning sensation. If I unleash my sorrow, which you just saw...I be come sluggish, think of it as a state for you to underestimate me yet once hit a frostbite to the strongest point flies through your body. I can unelas fear and scream about as well as increasing my own speed. Double what I am now, and what I am regularly...well let's just I can almost catch a bullet. My final state is one where I am olbivous to pain. I feel nothing.

I would ask for your power but...I would much rather get this over with. Winning or losing matters little to me. My intentions are well...otherwise from everyone elses."

He seemed different. His voice lacking anything, not monotone, but no color in it. His friendly polite attitude seemed to have died. He would bend over, holding his stomach as the hearts of his gloves turned green. Finally his head would violently lift up facing Alice, screaming bloody murder. Voices of fear rung about, screams of others seemed to fill the air. Screams begging for mercy, screams of apologies, and faintly the sound of his name as well as Alice's. At an almost unimaginable speed he dashed for Alice, posing to strike yet at the last second, as if sending his fist to strike, his body shifted to the side a bit and he slid on the ground, his right foot right in path of collision with her left leg. Upon fail or success of this trip attempt he would spin the momentum of his body to turn 180 degrees to face her back sending his left fist with aims ot hit her; standing or not.

[Mr. Nobody]

"Doc, you give me no choice. I'm going to have to ask of you the latter, if you please. The tournament waits for no one, as sad and reckless as it sounds."

Sam heard Dyne chuckle at some joke or memory. Either way, it was none of Samuel's concern.

"But thank you in advance, doc. I'd be a goner without you."


Samuel grimaced as he heard these words.

"Don't thank me so soon, the procedure I am about to do is extremely painful. Stronger men than you have cried during it."

Placing his hands lightly against Dyne's injuries, he then began to force his own energy into Dyne, directing it to the wounded area.

This was the most painful part. Even though he was healing Dyne, directing the energy and then using it to heal the area would cause an intense burning sensation. As if there was an inferno inside his ribcage.

Samuel hoped Dyne could stand it.

[MaruDashi]

ABA smiled to herself. He really -was- interesting.

She watched as he went to punch her and shifted her weight a bit, only to be caught off guard by him sliding and connecting with her leg. She fell backwards and hit the ground. Without hesitation, she rose to standing on her hands, and pushed off the ground. She landed onto of him and wrapped her legs around his neck. Not tightly, just enough to support her.

"Hmm, seems we have something in common. I have no real interest in winning or losing either. Im looking for a body, and yours strikes my fancy..."

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

OOC: This is my last post until Sunday, just giving a heads up

His trip was a success, however his punch...put hiim in a rather vaunerable position. The moment his fist hit the ground he felt her legs around his neck, there was a bit of straing, yet he could support himself and her for the time being. He slowly rose, not much, still hunched over from her on his neck. Her words though...confused him a bit. Slightly shocked him, he also missinterpreded. Instead of seeing what she actually meant, he thought of it as a sexual innuendo. The fact her legs were around his neck did not help his mental process either.

"Er...uh...I'm 39. I'm too old to part-take in such...physical pleasures. I'm here to fight for what remaining years of a sturdy body I have. For you see...to my understanding, like any aging man, my stamina and strength is well...dwindling. Unless you are implying otherwise in your statment and not what I'm interpreting. Please tell me my interpretation is wrong...and please get off my neck."

With that said he charged at a tree, swinging his body towards one to knock her off, sadly though the force made him slip and fall to the ground. In seconds he got up, facing his foe, "Well, your turn."

[kei of the flame]

"I'm not in a position to say no huh?" Alvaro started to raise chi all over his body and began to lift Armondo off the ground. "You are in a position were you can't say no." Alvaro started to spin using the chi to increase his speed 4x more. "Now, If you let go there is no telling how far you will go and where you will land. Also since you are on your back you won't have time to stop yourself from hitting the multitude of trees around us, and if you don't let go I'll ram you into them myself, checkmate." Alvaro increased his speed more and made his way towards a tree. "Break it and that's your ticket to a broken back."

[The Rogue Devil]

Talon walked around the spring thinking what to do next until he heard rumbling near his location. He looked around and heard nothing as the spring got quiet.......Too quiet. The rumbling started again as a huge snake appeared out of nowhere and started to attack Talon.

" I asked for someone not something!!!" Talon yelled running from the snake, " What to do now?!?!" Talon's watch started beeping as he was dodging the snake's attacks one by one. The hologram showed the 15 meter snake and its name is Basilisk.

"Alright.....Let's fight if you wanna lose!!!" Talon said stopping and turning toward the snake, " You shall crumble before my might!!!" Talon got into his fighting stance as the snake rushed him. Basilisk wrapped himself around Talon and started to squeeze the air out of him. Talon looked into Basilisk's eyes and could tell he was enjoying his suffering.

"Damn if this keeps up, I'm a dead man for sure." Talon said as his vision started to fade, " But I won't give up so easily!!!" Talon's aura started to flare as he started punching the sides of Basilisk. Basilisk hissed at Talon and shot some venom in his eyes. Talon screamed as the venom burned his retinas but he didn't stop punching the snake at all.

"My eyesight may be gone,for now, but it won't stop me!" Talon said as he kept punching and punching. Tired of the attacks, Basilisk let him go and slammed him into a wall. Talon got up and blinked his eyes to find out that the venom had temporarily blinded his right eye. His knuckles were sore from punching Basilisk's rock-hard skin so many times.

"This snake is enjoying this!!!" Talon said holding his eye, " If he's enjoying this I should too." Basilisk tried a headbutt but Talon dodge it and roundhouse kicked him in the jaw knocking him into the spring.
"It's about time I got on the offensive" Talon said with a smirk.

[Dr. Hax]

"Only some things in life can truly be broken. Others can be dropped gradually, like your endurance for instance. Now give up and face the blinding pain of a snapped arm!"

Armondo, as promised, broke the arm at the elbow and hopped off, slamming into a branch in a failed attempt to catch the tree. He hung upside down from it by his legs, thinking...

Blinding pain for both of us in 3...2...1...

Armondo hid his frustration and pain as he said,

"You win this match, you damned spinning pansy. In the battlefield, I would've killed you in a heartbeat. I would've shot you down and had my boys take turns with your sister. I'll kill you. I'll make sure I kill you! I don't care how long it takes and I don't care how many times I have to try. I will eat your innards when I'm done with you!!!"

He put his hand to his ear and reported to his higher ups.

"Commander, do you read? How the hell do I lose!? I was given some implants during the process. How do they fail!? Did your underpaid researchers slip up? Were they too stupid to know how to enhance the body? God damn it, speak to me!!!"

The commander's voice sounded on the belt intercom,

"Soldier, I knew your attitude would occur when you lose or something goes wrong. That's a side effect. They chemicals they injected also caused the creation of a new aggression inhibitor. In short, it's expected that you will have these huge outbursts as if a time bomb went off inside your head. You must also remember though that the chemicals gave you new capabilities in combination with the muscular implants. To be honest, I'm surprised your adrenaline didn't kick in. We've been watching the fight ourselves strangely enough. Now we know what actions to take...Men, commence with the plan and Armondo...If killing were allowed in this, I'd personally instruct you to bring back proof that you killed every opponent, something valuable, preferably. Just try to control your temper for now."


Lose...(Really pissed, IRL. Seriously, how does a spinning pile of crap overtake something modified by the government!? You have no idea of how red in the face I am. So you know what? Screw this for now. I ain't posting until I've cooled off.)

[Seikyu Kiba]

Gallows was greatful that he was healed by Anna. He continued on his way walking at a steady pace, his wounds were already healing from his small regenerating factor. He dragged his axe slowly against the ground squishing bugs, snakes and maybe small children if there were any. Gallows was starting to search for his next victim, and he found him...singing about Pirates none the less! Gallows took off at an amazing speed, running towards the one in the Grey hood. He knocked down trees as he raised his mighty axe, he came bouldering towards the crazy pirate obessed person. His footsteps shook the ground that the small puddle of water in front of Grey began to tremble.

OOC: Your turn Faro....make it good.


Hadou watched the...non existent fight against Nilhelm. "Well...this is, some what interesting." He said as he contacted Tom "Tom my friend you can come back to the control room." He said as he heard Mina say something about going to see Talon and the Balisk fight "Becareful Mina that snake isn't tame." He also heard Chu begging to release a Special fighter. "Fine...you can release one..take your pick." He said as he brushed his hand against her cheek. He got back on the speaker, "Attention Fighters, the time is now 11:00pm...there are caves located throughout the island for sleeping in." He got back off the speaker and contacted Sam and Anna. "Sam, Anna it appears everyone is in good condition." He continued searching the screen, he was careful not to miss a thing. "Tom..." He said contacting him. "If Nilhelm gets past Mantis I want you to take care of it..." He said in a stern voice.

[FaroDomisai]

Grey looked down at the small puddle trembling, he then looked up and behind him only to see a large axe wielding freak of nature "Oh.....my..........god....." he said turning around and taking off into a fast sprint "Why me, why me, why me!?" he said turning his head.

Gallows growled "GRAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Grey said as he quickly turned around and summoned an animal spirit fox infront of him


Gallows's axe came striking down on the fox spirit shattering it "Grunt, gaah, graa"

Grey stood there immediately pulling out his pendulum, he pulled down his hood and said with a smirk "Anger issues much?" he said spinning the pendulum in the air "You will fall at my feet!" he said swinging it towards Gallows as it sailed through the air Gallows caught it, and with one mighty thrust of his arm he pulled Grey off his feet and sent him sailing towards the big lug "AAAHHHH Shiii-" He was then punched in the face and sent into a tree.

[kei of the flame]

Alvaro feel to the ground in tramendous pain. He made a scream as his arm hit the ground beside him. Breathing heavily Alvaro rested against a tree. "Wow....you are the..." Breathing heavily Alvaro could barely speak. "Best I've ever fought.." After hearing Armondo's words Alvaro began to laugh. "Okay, Okay kill me later and a pansy, I think not!" Alvaro stop to take a breath "Right now we need a healer." Alvaro pressed a button on the watch and it sent out a distress signal (I'm guessing the watches would have one) and about a minute later a healer came to Alvaro. "Could you get him down and heal him first." Alvaro said about to pass out from exhaustion. The healer moved over to Armondo and got him out of the tree sending his power though and healing him. He moved over to Alvaro and Started to heal him. "Thanks for healing him first." Alvaro felt the pian surge through him as his arm started to move back in place and begin to go back to the way it was before the breaking. "This is worse than it being broken the first time!" The healer stood up and bowed its head and left. "So, where are we staying compañero de apartamento!"

Ouh Dyne felt the fire alright, but amazingly, but to no surprise to himself- he didn't cry from it. In fact, the burning reminded him of the harsher energy of the Earth. In his seven years with Terry, it took five years to finally feel the true nature of the Earth's energy, and that was only because through his life his body was conditioned through training for kickboxing. If he hadn't that sort of frame, he would still be with his master back in the U.P. training in even harsher (relative to his progress) ways.

He felt the burning energy, and opened his body too it. It was making his face twist some, but that was all the better as a gentle sort of strained grin became plastered onto his facade, before the process stopped. Suddenly he felt pure, clean, albeit a bit fatigued from his fight. But for all intents and purposes, ready to go at the certain degree. His body shifted back from Samuel with his arms raising to the sky, Dyne proceeded to stretch out his once aching muscles which now felt complacent with the burning treatment.

"Yeeeowzah! You were right Doc, it reminds me of my green days." He'd manage to say before systematically cracking his body into realignment. "Thanks a million."

His ears became much more open in their attention, so to speak, as all the noise the fight over the bridge made brought Dyne to a small level of curiosity. From that distance they seemed barely pinch-able at his fingertips from his view. He remembered though, that his bag was across the bridge, and he shifted from Samuel after bowing gently towards him, "Thanks again doc!"

As though on a casual job Dyne made it across the bridge and retrieved his bag, before watching the two- A.B.A and Mizer duke it out. that Mizer was really one.. Piece of work- facing yet another... Piece of work! "Outta be a decent match to watch, though, best I get myself to a more safe location I suppose.. It's already pretty hard to see in the darkness of the night. I wonder if they have flood lights built in around here?"

His wondering and wandering back to the other side of the bridge brought him to a seat next to a nearby cliff side tree, watching the fight across the way as best as he could while letting his bag lean against his shoulder. Contentment brought him to a gentle lull, and he'd play with the ideas of sleep even with the fight across the way going on. He had to deal with blizzards out camping up there for training, it wasn't too far of an assumption that it was more or nearly more loud then the ensuing fight.

"Perhaps in the morning I'll find another challenger. I wonder who?"

Tom reported back to Hadou with his grin unfolded like a red carpet, as he was wearing lipstick by this time. He made his signature dramatic pose after jumping upon the nearby table in the room, speaking gloriously; "Im sure he'd be DELIGHTED with my stunning looks and seductive lull, to turn and join in the fray! Of course he would!"

Which was his response to the old man's request.

[Dr. Hax]

"Well, the are many places a person could "stay" but if you need some sort of quarters..."

Armondo looked at the ruins around him and said,

"This place isn't suitable for living. We will have to build our indoor quarters, have a mode of cooking and something to protect us from the rain. The big leaves here on some of the trees would make great shade and would keep us dry from the rain. Using some of the small rocks here, we could make a small fire pit for our meals and some large, thick sticks could make a sturdy wall, allowing us to create the hut. As for the beds, lay a bunch of sticks and leaves on top of each other in such a fashion, that you get comfortable. We will each make our own bed. We will have to both work on the hut, I will collect the rocks for the fire pit and you collect the extra leaves for warmth. As for food, I don't really know. They gave me my Bowie Knife though. Let's focus though and eat and talk after."

[Valkarma]

Odion noticed the young boy and what appeared to be a bartender he took a deep breathe for the bartenders smile sent a chill up his spine "Eerie." They were asking for a fight, with a sinister smirk he looked to his sister and said "It appears these two are asking for a challenge dear sister." He heard the announcement of a 2 vs 2 fight and heard their names being called "Well...it appears we don't have a choice, we accept your challenge." From his pocket he removed a blind fold and put it on blocking out all vision, yet all his other senes heightened. "I'll take the young boy." Odion did a small hand stand and then cartwheeled towards Jace aiming for him with surprisingly perfect aim even though he was blind.


Jace jumped back too late to avoid the blow but quick enough to not be seriously hurt.
"Hey, hey, wait up I'm not ready." Jace said avoiding another blow. "This isn't fair." He shouted. He had to quickly sling his backpack off and throw it to the side, in order to lose more weight. It landed with a heavy thud against the tree. Jace didn't enjoy this fight. He frowned as he avoided blows. Without the added weight he could avoid him but he couldn't hit him. How was it he could see him while blindfolded?
Jace couldn't do anything but dodge for the moment. He was't happy. This wasn't going to get him anywhere. Ives was having more luck them him. Maybe Jace should have picked the girl. He had no time to think before another attack came him way. He wasn't getting anywhere and shock had prevented him from remembering to fight back.

[MaruDashi]

Mina giggled to herself.

"Im -always- careful while making sure to get the best scoop~"

She skipped her way over to the springs where the fight was taking place. Once there, she made sure to get as close as possible to the action.

Chuumi giggled with delight as she was given the ok to pick the next special fighter. She twirled her hair as she thought if the next opponent to send out.

"Hmm, I bet scarecrow is itching to have some fun too."

ABA found herself flung off as Mizer slipped. She caught herself before hitting the ground and watched as he regained him composer.

"Im afriad you misunderstood. Im looking for a body, not the soul attached to it. That, will be replaced by my Paracelsus."

She gestured over to the large key as she stood up.

"Though, it saddens me to hear that your body is deterritating. My will to fight has dwindled quite a bit now..."

Her face expressed pure boredom. Her attention perked up as she heard the announcement of their 'sleeping arrangements' and sighed.

"Perhaps we should finish this tomorrow?"

[kei of the flame]

"Sure, we will start on it tomarrow." Alvaro hopped in a tree. "It's to dark at night to be out on a random island, you would never know what hit you, If something did...That is." Alvaro leaned on the tree sitting on the branch. "I've slept in worse." He drifted off to sleep.

[Dr. Hax]

"You do that, then. I'll keep watch for any hostiles or fighters."

Armondo went off to get sticks and leaves. He started building a bed and hut all by his own self. He didn't need help at all. Hours passed as he continued to strive on for a makeshift home and bed. Eventually, he did finish and decided to lay down for a well-deserved rest. He closed his eyes and dreamed of the experiments while listening in his sleep for sounds.

[Blackwick]

Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw her five favorite faeries in the world, Bubbles, Lavender, Lily, Petals, and Trixie, floating over her head and seeming to be poking and pulling at her face. "Hey." She squeeked out.

"Get up, you make me want to laugh at your humiliation. You shouldn't have done that, you should have given up easily and allowed him to walk away, he cracked your skull but since that healer came you seem to be doing better." Lily barked at her.

She reached the back of her head and felt a knot there. It was sore but it felt healed mostly. "She looked like a dead rag doll." Trixie bluntly said.

Lavender handed over a smell peice of fabric that was dark gray. "Did this come off of his cloak?" She nodded. "I'll make sure he gets it back later." She smiled and sat down on my knee.

"Who is close by that you can challenge next?" Petals asked. They all seemed to be very hyper.

She click on the watch and several names and locations popped up, few people were near but with other people near them. "I'll have to check all of these people and see who can fight and who can't." She stood up and stretched her legs, she couldn't feel any marks on her body but she did feel really sore. "After I get something to drink first." She started walking towards the sound of water, the others followed.

[Luzifer]

Psycho Mantis decided to initiate the battle, none-to-subtly hurling the trunk of a near by tree towards Nilhelm with a telekinetic blast. He couldn't play this fight like his usual, the boy's mind had too many whirlpools and twists to be read, and he didn't think about his actions, meaning they could not be predicted reliably. Instead, Psycho Mantis would have to win the old-fashioned way, by putting his opponent on the back foot and keeping him there.

Nilhelm saw the tree coming towards him and manage to leap over it before it hit him and began running to the side. Psycho Mantis smiled beneath his gas mask, a game eh? He aimed a psionic blast where Nil would be but was displeased to see the attack miss. Which was something of a misnomer. It didn't so much miss as it was dodged, however the dodge didn't happen. There was no "dodge" so much as the boy's momentum was going in the opposite direction of where it had been. He was running in the reverse of the direction of where he had been. Normally, that would have envolved either turning or stopping but paradoxically it was as if his momentum felt like performing an improbably and immediate switch in direction.

Psycho mantis frown but decided to try something different. Leviatating himself upwards, he vanished from where he had been to appear in front of the boy to fire another psychic blast point blank. Even with another immediate shift in vector, the boy was still unable to dodge and was sent backwards, but somehow his momentum, mid air shifted strangely and his motion stopped as he landed.

Psycho Mantis was starting to feel the strain of using his psychic power in such quick succession and held off advancing for a moment in order to formulate a plan. The boy's abilities seemed to be in someway tied to movement. Or at least he could make them apply to movement. How from his patterns, it didn't seem like he could create momentum, or manipulate that other objects just his own. He wasn't exactly sure what this all meant or what it had to do with the boy's strange thought patterns and mental state but the had to be related.

Still, the boy didn't have any long range attack method so Psycho Mantis felt confidant if he could keep the Nilhelm at range.

By this time Nil had recovered from the blow was standing up. He was bruised and bleeding from the blast but seemed to be otherwise unharmed.

[The Rogue Devil]

Basilisk Hissed as he got up from the kick that Talon had delivered to his jaw. He didn't like it at all and hit Talon with his tail sending him into the cool waters of the spring. Basilisk hissed(it sounded like he was laughing) as Talon laid in the water motionless. Talon felt the water rush over him and he got up feeling refreshed and rejuvinated.

" I've got to finish this quick or I'm going to lose!!!" Talon said to himself, " This snake is strong but I have to be stronger in order to win." Basilisk swung his tail again attenpting to hit Talon but he dogded each attack trying to escape the beast's tail. Talon decided to go on the offensive and attack instead of defend.

Talon channeled his chi through his hands and delivered several blows to Basilisk's body and face. Basilisk slid back a few feet and hissed as if it didn't bother him at all. Talon looked at the giant snake and saw that he had a few dents and bruises all over his body. Talon realized that if this keeps up they both might lose. Talon's own body had bruises and a cracked rib cage.

"Alright Basilisk lets finish this once and for all." Talon said getting in his stance for the final attack. Basilisk nodded his head and shot venom into the sky. Talon ducked and hid under some dead leaves to prevent the venom from making contact with his body. The venom burned anything it touched except,for some strange reason, the giant tree and the spring around it.

The leaves that Talon were under burned in an instant and showed where Talon was. Basilisk started to stiffen his body and started to spin and shot directly at Talon.
"Uh-oh, not good if I don't stop it I'll lose!!" Talon said readying himself to defend against the attack, " Wait, I have an idea that might win me this fight." Talon channeled the rest of his chi throughout his entire body and prepared to repel Basilisk's attack but as he came close enough to repel it, Basilisk turned upward toward the sky. Talon simply watched as the giant snake climbed higher and higher in the sky and headed downward like bullet aiming straight for Talon. As the attack landed, the force of the attack shook the whole island and left a huge crater in the ground. Basilisk stood perfectly still and saw that Talon had stopped the attack with his chi powered punch. Talon knocked him away and hit his Star Killer move on him by rushing forward punching Basilisk in the middle of his body then high kicking him in the face after Basilisk's head lowered.

OOC: Sweet Chin Music

Talon then did His Twin Serpents Merge Combo all over the snake's body and then he fell to the ground with a hard thud.
"That......should.....do it." Talon said panting and breathing heavily, " He better not get up from that attack." Basilisk struggled to get up and let out a low hiss as he rushed Talon but failed as he hit the ground.
" That was one of the best fights I ever had." Talon said fainting from exhaustion. Talon's watch started beeping to call a healer toward their location and within minutes a healer appeared and began healing both Talon and the snake. After the healer did his duties, he left leaving Talon near the giant tree to rest.
Winner:Talon

[Overlord Darth Fluffles]

He was relieved that his interpretation was wrong, yet still he was a bit confused by what she meant. An intrest in souls? Could she really take out souls and place in other containers? As interesting as it was, Mizer really...didn't want to care. Her facial expression of boredom and her comment gave off a hint that...he wasn't much of a fight. Well how could he be? He wasn't KILLING, he was just fighting to win. Mizer would much rather kill them all then with this tedious set up. Oh well, he would play by the rules. Mizer finally looked aroundm noticing it was night. "time flies when you're fighting I guess..."

"Sure, we can finish tomorrow I guess. I didn't hear any rules about puting a fight on pause for a night. And if there are any, they didn't inform us so it'd be their fault. Do you want to lead?"

[Blackwick]

Her ears were straining to hear other things, the water running down the stream seemed peaceful but it looked like it was contaminated by something else. "Petals, is there something wrong with this water? Or is it just my eyes?" She turned to see the five faeries looking tired and exaughsted.

They slumped down onto the ground and closed their eyes. Petals peeped out, "It seems safe..." She yawned. "Enough." And her head slumpted down onto Trixie's lap.

"Sleep well you guys, and thank you for watching over me once again." Rathnait smiled at them and then cupped up some water in her hand, sipping and feeling her raw throat sooth a little. She sat down and opened her pouch, taking out a granola bar and munching on it.

It sounded like a few trees falling and then a large growl was ecoing through the air, not anywhere near her but from somewhere on the island. There was also the sound of someone snoring as well. No crickets were heard, no lightening bugs flying by, just like if the island was actually a set instead of a place that no one has ever heard of before.

As she munched, a tune sprung into her head, one that she heard when she was little, but she didn't remember when. She started humming it and looking around to see if anything might attack her as she tried to reenergize.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Ooc: Sorry guys, I just got a new job and it's been busy..I've been exhausted. Val can you take Odion so I don't have to control 4 people please?

Ives continued to battle it out with Kissa. Ives Burbon/Whiskey ability wore off and everything returned to normal. He ran towards Kissa wish a jump kick hoping it would hit her. His mind was clear and focused, he was ready for anything, he just hoped that Jace could handle Odion. After Ives jump kicked he balled his hand into a fist and upper cutted Kissa. Just to add to it he back flipped and lit a match, took out a bottle of Gin and blew out a small stream of fire. Everything lit fire that was in reach of the small flame. It glowed so nicely in the night. However he was wondering...'were all the others still fighting...is it even a good idea to sleep?" He was slightly paranoid at the thought of what could possibly on this island, Gallows, Psycho Mantis, Balisks....what could possibly be next? After he was done with his little flame attacks he smiled at Kissa and said "Had enough?" He stood in a perfect gentleman like posture with a chilling smile. He was getting pretty into the fight, he never had such and interesting opponent.

Kissa was caught off guard by the jump kick, she stepped out of the way and it sent Ives foot impacting into the tree behind her causing a small dent. "Your kick is powerful however mine is.." Right after the jump kick was the upper cut, and it hit her directly in the jaw. Small drops of blood dripped from her mouth. She still kept that evil creepy smile as she spit the blood out. Once she noticed the fire stream she stepped out of the way, causing the tree to burn. "How lovely.." She glared at Ives now determined to beat him. "You will lose.." Kissa laughed a little and ran towards Ives then went into a somersault almost as if turning into a deadly rotating blade. Kissa was spinning at a very fast rate, she wanted this over so she could get her beauty sleep, but she figured that wasn't going to happen.

Ives was glad he got a few hits in however he watched Kissa somersault and become a deadly blade. "Oh..my.." he said as he was struck right on the head, sending him face first into the ground. He laid there he appeared to be knocked out from such a deadly attack. But, he was conscious he got up off the ground slowly staggering, trying to regain his balance. He looked at Kissa and smiled his chilling smile. He took a bottle of rum and said "This might just be your down fall."

Hadou was a little shocked the Chu would pick Scarecrow. He was probably the most dangerous out of them all, capable of putting Gallows in his place. "You want to send out Scarecrow? Alright then, tell Tom and get it going." Since it was night time and a tournament doesn't sleep...well not this one anyway. He decided that he would be perfect. "Well maybe he can scare the fighters and make them unable to sleep..that guy even gives me the creeps..." He said trying not to think of the last time he met with Scarecrow....he couldn't sleep for a year. That lack of sleep could have killed an old fossile such as his self, but sadly it didn't kill him, much to his dissapointment.

[Blackwick]

After the granola bar was gone, she placed the wrapper back into her pack. "Wonder how many I have left." She searched through it and found two cups of fruit and three granola bars left. "Oh, I should have brought more with me." She stood up and then a large burp exploded from her lips, ecoing through the land for almost a minute. "Excuse me." She patted her lips and went red.

"What was that?" Lily asked, her voice sounding tired but angry. "If I hear another one of those stupid bears again, I'm going to have bear jerky tonight." She allowed her head to fall back down and sleep some more.

"Sorry." Rathnait peeped out second later. She stared up into the sky and wondered if she disturbed anyones sleep when she burped.

[Dr. Hax]

After putting in a few hours of sleep, Armondo woke and wrote down on a piece of paper,

"Alvaro, gone to look for food and a fight. Be back in an hour. Happy Hunting."

It was signed by Armondo and left on the outside of the hut. He put his mask on and walked into the jungle, hoping to find somebody. He needed to improve his body and get ready for the next challenge. This time, he wouldn't lose. He had intention to prove that science will always help in any situation.

[Valkarma]

(OOC: That's fine Kiba, Jace is being outdone anyways.)

Odion couldn't figure out how the boy managed to get here. The kid couldn't have be much older then maybe ten or twelve years old. There was a small amount of guilt in him for fighting with the kid. Each blow he made was blocked but the child couldn't do much more then that. He was even too loud to be fighting. Odion could sense perfectly were he was. He knew this part of the fight would be over soon. It seemed like his sister would need help. Odion flipped himself behind Jace.
"I'm sorry Kid but I don't think you should have came here."
Odion swung a punch in his back as well as a kick to the side. This flung Jace into one of the trees near by.

Jace impacted with the tree and ripped his shirt down the back as it got cut up. He screamed in pain for a moment. Things were not going how they were meant too and this was painful. There was tears down Jace's eyes. This wasn't how things were meant to be. He looked up and couldn't see Odion very clear. He couldn't copy him if he couldn't see him. It wasn't a good fight. Jace tried to stand but he back stung to much. He just began to cry as he lay against the tree. It was his lose and he knew it.

WINNER: Odion
LOSER: Jace

[MaruDashi]

"A fight were you cant kill people isnt a fight at all..."

ABA sighed to herself as she dragged Paracelsus behind her. She gestured to Mizer to follow as they looked for a place to sleep.

Chuumi cheered to herself and did as she was told.

Mina received word of Scarecrows release, and shuddered a bit.

"Well, it seems now the scariest of our special fighters is being released~ Be careful folks, Scarecrow will haunt your dreams for years to come."

ABA couldnt help but overhear the announcement.

"Whats so scary about this guy? I highly doubt this person is all that terrifying. Its all just hype..."

[The Rogue Devil]

Waking up, Talon saw it was still kinda late at night he figured that it was at least 4:30 but there was no sunrise. He heard that another fighter named Scarecrow entered and is looking for a fight. Talon rubbed the sleep from his eyes and jumped pff the branch of the giant tree to search for him.

"This might be an even better battle than the last one with the snake!" Talon said cracking his knuckles. He figured that either he would fight him or someone else will come instead.

[Dr. Hax]

"Come on, give me a challenge...Why can't I find anyone right now?"

Making it to a waterfall, Armondo stopped and sat for a moment, waiting for his next challenge. Hopefully one would show up and hopefully they wouldn't spin so much. The thought of that pissed him off to the point of breaking a rock. He had to record his progress in the fight for the government so he readied a tape and began speaking.

"Day 2, 0430 hours: There's no sun out right now but I have started searching for my next challenge. I have taken a liking to a particular site right now. It is here that I shall wait for a bit for my next opponent. End report."

[Shobu_Shimizu]

OOC: Nuu!!! This rp can't die too!!! And thank you soooooo much Kiba, Maru, and Val for controling my characters while I was gone! You don't know how much I appreciate it!


After the blow she delivered on Ive's head, Kissa flipped backwards a little ways away from him. She stopped and stared at the still figure. He seemed out of it, but she knew that he probably wouldn't be down for long. The thought brought a smirk to her lips. She loves those who are hard to keep down. He was turning out to be a very amusement opponent. She took a long finger and dragged it up blood that trailed down from her lips, then slipped between her lips to suck the liquid off. She was enticed by the determination he had. She was still on guard, just about ready for anything. She wasn't about to lose, but if by any chance she did, she really wouldn't mind. He's a very intruiging opponent.

Odion grimaced, feeling a twinge of guilt as the boy began to cry. He wanted dearly to go over and... oh what the heck, Kissa could handle herself for five more minutes. He ran to the boy and gave him a comforting smile as he offered out his hand. "You can't let this slow you down. Does it hurt?" he asked with sincere concern, hoping he wasn't hurting the kid's pride by offering to help him stand.


Chuumi hummed as she went to give Tom a little visit. "Toooo~m!" she sang, "Guessss what!? We get to release Scarecrow! Isn't that exciting!?" she giggled, "He's so cute! I can't wait to see him in action! Chuu!" She said, twirling around like a ballerina. Of course everything was "so cute" to Chuumi, even is it scared others. She just... saw that good beneath the skin, perhaps? Or perhaps, she was just insane. She never pondered on such trivial things though.

[Tetsanosuke]

By the time Chuumi would grace herself around the corner she was faced with a sleeping feminine man logged literally against the wall, asleep like he was leaning- like a bloody log. Though he voice made him stammer to a shocked awaken state, and he fell on his bony posterior.

"GEEBUS WOMAN! YOU SCARED ME HALF TO--"

He heard her say she was allowed to release scarecrow, and he thought about how lucky he was to only be scared by the cute little muffin of a female chuumi and her cute antics. Tom seemed to raise from the ground like a vampire from his casket, before spinning in place a few rotations and raising his fright index finger towards the ceiling.

"THEN YOU SHALL RELEASE HIM!" He stated, before pointing down the hallway.

"Room 5b, down the hallway. Have fuuuun Chuumi! You little rosalita!" He'd say before tickling at her chin with his feminine fingers.

Dyne on the other hand simply woke to hear that scarecrow was released, and simply went back to sleep. A light, but relaxing sleep nonetheless.

[Dr. Hax]

"To hell with it...I better keep moving."

Armondo mobilized and scouted out some more, heading into a jungle with makeshift bedding. He look at it a bit closer and though to himself.

This makeshift bed looks well constructed and well supported. It sounds like whoever made this really has some good hands. Alas, I fought a man already...I shall try fighting a woman now.

Armondo continued on to see a boy crying. With him was another figure. He had to check this out...

"Entering stealth, engaging in espionage. Mobilizing now."

Remaining silent in step and breath, Armondo crept closer to see what was going on, remaining in the brush to stay hidden.

Poor kid. Wonder what happened that could cause him to cry.

[Seikyu Kiba]

Ooc: Hmm I wasn't sure if it was going to get revived or not, I was waiting to post because seriously I can't do everything. XD Faro your fights should continue, however since Funny has not posted in a while I give the match to Riku


Hadou waited for the door for Scarecrow to open. "That guy is even creepier then me..." He said in a disturbed voice. He looked at the clock, the SUN was about to come up. He smiled his old feeble smile and said "Now...let the fun begin." He pressed a few buttons and got on the loud speaker. "Hello fighters, it appears some of you are slacking, this will not be tolerated..." He said in an evil voice. He turned of the speaker and said to himself "Once Scarecrow gets out there things will get interesting." He wanted to test these fighters, he knew what Rock Howard was looking for...the strongest, so he would do anything to push these fighters and make them give there all. He was tingling with excitement, or possibly having a seizure.

"Well..you're very creepy Kissa.." He said as he gave his chilling smirk. He was prepared for this persons attacks, she entertained him very well. "So am I making the move now or are you?" He asked as he took out a random bottle of alchol. "I hope I can use Snakebite." He thought to himself. Snakebite was one of his best moves. He ran towards Kissa and aimed for her jaw, ready to grab it as though his hand was that of a snake. He hoped this worked so he could claim victory. "You maybe cute but you're still my opponent." He said in a cool and chilling voice.


Scarecrow was sitting in his little room, his red eyes were the only thing you could see in the small dark room.

[Blackwick]

She stared into the forest and saw no movement, she could hear no animals moving around, only hearing the water and her five faerie friends snoring their little heads off. She walks slowing into the forest, not far away and kicks a tree. 'I lost one, lost one fight, what now?' She scratched her head and then got hit on the head with a stick that fell out of the tree. "Ouch!" She grabbed her head and rubbed it. She stared up into the tree and saw lots of branches and green leaves. "I'm sorry, Mr. Tree, I'm frustrated and I just took it out on you, I'm very sorry." It looked like the tree was laughing, the branches moving quickly side to side. "DOES ANYONE WANT TO FIGHT?" SHe fianlly yelled out, tired of trying to think up a way to win the next fight. 'Better just wing it.'

[MaruDashi]

ABA woke up, her arms wrapped around Paracelsus. She stretched and yawned and then laid right back down.

"Wake up"

"No, I dun wanna"

"Its time to wake up my dear"

"Nuuuuuuu.....five more minutes"

"Up. Now"

She sat up and pouted at Paracelsus, as if saying 'meany'. She dusted herself off a bit and grabbed the chain attached to Paracelsus.

"Lets find a spring. I wanna wash my face and all..."

[Valkarma]

Odion grimaced, feeling a twinge of guilt as the boy began to cry. He wanted dearly to go over and... oh what the heck, Kissa could handle herself for five more minutes. He ran to the boy and gave him a comforting smile as he offered out his hand. "You can't let this slow you down. Does it hurt?" he asked with sincere concern, hoping he wasn't hurting the kid's pride by offering to help him stand.

Jace tried to talk through the tears. He tried to stop himself and a stream of sniffing noises was made as he tried to hold the tears back. Even without his screaming it was clear tears still fell down his face. Then Odion came along to offer some help. Jace sniffed up and tried to smile. Maybe things wouldn't be too bad. The boy he fought was kind.
"My..m...my back. It's..*sniff*..all cut up." He managed to stuttered though the tears. "It all hurts. This was..*sniff*..meant to be fun. But it hurts..*sniff*..to much. I only wanted to..*sniff*..have fun and make friends."
The tears began to bubble out now. "I can't fight in the dark. It wasn't fair." He began to cry more again. Both for the pain and because things weren't going right.

[Shobu_Shimizu]

Chuumi squeeled in delight and giggled as Tom tickled her under the chin. "Dont you wanna come and watch Tom? I'm sure he'd be happy to see you-chuu!" she said, twirling a piece of hair around her finger out of habit. Even as she said this she began to skip backwards, eager to let Scarecrow out.

Kissa was quick to dodge the oncoming hand with a side-step and in the same movement, she sent her leg flying into his stomach, hoping it would do some kind of damage. "I'm flattered that you think I'm cute. You're not too bad looking yourself," she said with a sly smile.

Odion did feel bad that he had went so hard on the kid, but he should have known that a tournament isn't a place to make friends and frollic about. "I'm sorry that you were put at a disadvantage, but the sun's coming up soon then you will be able to-" just then Odion sensed another presence.

"It would behoove you to come out of hiding, whoever you are," he called.

[The Rogue Devil]

Talon walked through the forest seeking the fighter called Scarecrow in order to face him in combat. Talon wanted to fight him and others but he needed to find something to eat first.
"There has to be something to eat around here." Talon said looking around the area, " Ah, here's something." Talon looked into a tree and saw some bananas hanging and they were ripe enough to eat. After eating, his ears picked up someone yelling. It was very faint but it seemed as though someone wanted to fight.

Talon pressed his watch, to see if anyone was near him to fight. According to his watch, there were a few people but a girl named Lily was closer to him than anyone else.
"Ok, you ask for a fight you'll get one." Talon said changing his direction toward Lily.

[Dr. Hax]

Spotted, eh?

Armondo arose, climbing into a tree with due speed and hanging on a branch by his legs for conversation to begin.

"You have a knack for spotting that which is in stealth. No matter...I have all the information I need about everyone here after my scanning. You are the man known as Odion, yes? To keep my records properly organized, what is the kid's name?"

Looking down at the kid, he said,

"You alright? I could train you, if you like. Just say the word and it will be done. Who knows? Maybe you'll be able to stand a chance against this guy, no offense. Unfortunately, some things that I can do, you won't be able to do because of just who I am. Still, it couldn't hurt to play teacher once in a while. I have a friend who will also teach you a bit. I have built a small hut and fire pit. My friend and I built our own beds so I'm sure I have space for another one. Currently, I'm supposed to be out for food but I'll give in to my temptation and challenge Odion next. He made you cry...I won't take that hands down."

[Valkarma]

Jace was surprised enough to stop crying as the second person, a man he didn't even feel near him, appeared. He didn't seem too bad and even slightly fathery. Almost like the guild master.*sniff*
"It wasn't his fault. *sniff* I just can't fight in the dark. My style doesn't allow for it." Jace began wiping his tears. His back still stung and was bleeding but he wanted to stop crying. They would keep treating him as a kid if he did. His eyes kept watering though. And he just kept wiping them. He tried to stand.
"Thank you though. *sniff* But it's impossible to teach me and there nothing I can't learn. That's what my old master said." He tried to smile, like it was a little joke. However the smile faded and his legs gave way, so he thudded down again. His belly rumbled and he only just realised that he was hungry. He had to wipe his tears away again but they came on like always.

[Mr. Nobody]

OOC: Sorry for slacking! I was just...being lazy. But be assured, I am back!

Samuel got up and made his way to his Lion, not even looking to where Anna was.

Tingling

His fingers were tingling from the healing experience. Reaching the Lion, he got in, closed the door, and looked down at his hands. He didn't want anyone to see that he was...happy. He was happy to heal someone in need, even though it hurt a bit.

The only emotions anyone Samuel allowed others to see were anger and nothing. Heaven forbid he should show emotion and grow attached to any one.

Waiting for Anna to come, he checked the live satelite feed, seeing if anyone needed healing before he went to give the fighter his translator.

!

The young boy...Jace is injured. Badly.

Happiness gone, he opened the hatch and yelled: "Anna! Get over here, someone needs our help!" He made sure to put as much authority and urgency as possible into his voice to override the panic he felt seep in.

Readying the Lion for launch, he closed the door again and grabbed hold of the controls. No time for waste, there were people that needed him!

He once again flipped the switches sending the thrusters into a fury, flames belching from each, and looked to the sky.

[Dr. Hax]

"What is your name, kid? As I just said, I will be teaching you how to fight. Don't complain, alright. I'll make sure you're properly nourished. After the healers get done with you, I will take you to the small encampment my friend and I made."

Armondo looked at Odion and continued...

"It looks as if we will have to postpone our duel. I've this kid to take care of and train properly. I've also food to look for. Where might I find you next?"

[The Rogue Devil]

Talon only wanted to fight. To battle on this island where some of the best fighters have gathered but for now he would have to settle for Lily. He followed the map on his watch to get to Lily, since he's quite sure he heard her, and challenge her to a fight.
"Almost there....Just a little further." Talon said with a grin. Talon finally reached the area where she was located and saw that she had some weird looking creatures with her.

"You're Lily right? I heard you were looking for a fight so now you got one. You can either accept the challenge and fight or decline and I'll leave it's your choice." Talon said getting in his fighting stance, " So, what do you choose?"

[Blackwick]

OOC: It is alright Mr. Nobody, I'm glad you are alright though, I was about to send a squad out to go and find you. xD

"Anna! Get over here, someone needs our help!" She ran up hearing his voice and jumped into her spot into the vehicle he seemed attached to. Placing the sword she had once again under her legs, but this time, she covered her eyes, fearing to see the heights once again. "Who next, Sam?"

[Seikyu Kiba]

OOC: Figured this wouldn't stay alive long...oh well. :/

Ives was hit in the stomach and staggered backwards he looked at her and nodded "Well that's good." He couldn't help but think This girls movements are fast.. It seemed that Jace had lost the fight to her...brother...still creepy. He was disappointed but he was a kid so he gave him props for trying. "I won't lose to you." He said as he smash a bottle against a near by tree. Blue streaks up what appeared to be ki. It was making the bottle appear sharper. He kicked a tree and a few leaves fell from it. He raised the bottle and slashed, the leaves cut into pieces. He looked at her smirking. "Now lets the get this party started." He was prepared for this battle, it was going to be fun. He took a slash at her hoping it would cut her, but judging by her it may or may not hit.

Hadou watched the fighters, the sun was up and it was about 7:00am in the morning now and he was wanting a fight to start. Some of the fighters seemed to have gone to a halt...and some just disappeared without a trace. He sighed "Well...this is getting stale." He said with a sad voice. He was ready for Scarecrow to come out.

[Valkarma]

"My..my name is Jace." Jace wiped his tears again. "I thank you for the offer but you just can't teach me it's impossible like I said." He looked up at the man with determination. "My mind can't store information like that. It is physically impossible for me to learn normally. But thank you for the offer."
Jace stood up and managed to keep his balence this time. He leaned on the tree and ran his hand down his back. The blood had stopped and cut was healing. He thanked his luck and whispered a prayer of thanks. Then he pulled on Odions sleeve.
"Thank you for the fight. I'm sorry it didn't go as it should have. I'll challenge you again some time ok?" He smiled.

[Dr. Hax]

Armondo grew a bit frustrated...Kind of normal due to the chemicals in him but regardless, he whispered into Jace's ear.

"Who said I was going to physically teach you? I was going to give you advice on learning the lay of the land and actually using the terrain to your advantage. You name an area and I will use everything I can to gain the upper hand by using the environment and my surroundings. Do you see all this lush undergrowth and all the huge trees around you? You could have ran into hiding, caused a distraction somewhere else nearby and struck if the opponent was distracted. Maybe taking the enemy from a tree limb would help there. Where there is a nice, deep body of water, there is a new form of combat. If you've the lung capacity for it, fight in the "drink". Get the enemy in and fight it out underwater. In dry, arid, mountainous areas, use the rocks, loose ones again for distractions. Make traps if you can. It's all about brain power. Use your brain and know your surroundings. Study your opponent's moves and where they specialize in and then develop a strategy. That's called a tactician's foresight."

Armondo finally stopped whispering and said at one's normal voice level...

"Now that I've told you of that, I'm still offering a bite to eat. I have to hunt, anyway. Actually, I'm supposed to be hunting for food but it seems I got sidetracked. No matter. Today seems like a good day for fish. Care to join, Jace? Odion? I feel I should get to know someone I will be fighting in the future. It's proper."

[Tetsanosuke]

"Let him out youuuurseeelf! I'm going to get a few Z's in while I can. Goood luuuuck!" Tom said before jogging down the hallway, looking for a corner to curl up in.

Dyne awoke with a wide yawn at about six A.M., and brought his body to a stand. Taking the time to get himself washed, at least a bit, he'd walk over the bridge near the waterfall ,and focus his energy, and open it to the energy of the Earth. Suddenly the water seemed to sprinkle out and around him.

After washing, he'd simply start warming up in the morning sunlight, allowing himself and his clothes to dry off. "I'm going to need to change, perhaps tomorrow. This isn't too bad for now though..." He thought to himself as he's listen to nature, and possibly any fights happening this early.

OOC: Lost my flow. bleh. @_@

[Valkarma]

Jace grinned and walked slowly over to his bag he had thrown aside before. He opened it and began pulling out various weapons and instruments before picking out a cap. He placed it down on his head and grinned brightly. It would keep the sun out of his eyes. He stuffed the other things in and swung the bag over his back. It stung for a moment and he cringed. But then he walked over to Armondo. He jumped up and landed on his shoulders, sitting down on his back as if for him to be carried.
"Stubbon ain't you?" His voice was alive with childish manner like things were back to normal all of a sudden. He even tapped Armondo on the head lightly. "Like I said it won't sink in. My brain is different to a normal persons. Don't judge me by normal standards." He shrugged, "But if you want to try then try. But your best seeing it as a mirror then a mind. It reflects what it sees." He smiled. "But!! This means were friends now right? Right!? 'Cos if we are then my day just got better." He pointed ahead, "But onwards to lunch first." He laughed a joyful laugh of a child. The pain in his back ignored for a fun moment were he may have gained a friend.

[Dr. Hax]

"I haven't had many friends but yeah, let's go."

Armondo smiled from beneath his mask knowing he had another ally. He wondered something about what Jace had said before. As they were walking to the lake, he asked the question he felt compelled to ask the most.

"Say, about what you said before...about how your brain is different...might I ask what you mean by "different"? You said compared to normal people, it is different. What if I told you that I am different from normal people? You share with me what you are talking about and I will share how I'm different from normal people. Fair enough? We're coming to the lake now so take off the shoes and let's get us some fish."

"I guess not..." Talon said disappointingly walking away, " I thought you wanted to fight but I guess not." Talon was furious on the inside but he didn't let it show as he was walking away from Lily. He punched a tree and it snapped from the impact of the hit.

"I'll look for someone else to fight then." Talon said spotting another fighter, " Well if this isn't my lucky day." He spotted the other fighter and it was the kangaroo. Surprisingly, Talon didn't think he would fight the marsupial at all during the tournament so he would take this chance.
"Hey kangaroo, want to fight?

Jace smiled and jumped off Armondo's back and onto the floor. He stumbled slightly but caught himself. He was a little puzzled by Armondo's question. It wasn't something he thought about. His mind was always on other thoughts. Random things like having custard for pudding, and who would be a cool friend, were what he thought about. Not things like why he was different. He paused and thought about.
"I don't know how to discribe it. You see I've been different as long as I can remember. But I can't remember anything from before I joined my old guild." He looked around sneakly then leaned close, "Don't tell anyone but I don't even know my real age. My family at the guild were the ones to guess it." He leaned back with a smile on his face. "All I knew was my name and what my mother had last said to me. If it was my mother." He suddenly looked down. It was sad for him and his eyes watered again. He wiped them quickly. "She said 'Keep smiling'. So I do. I try to smile and make friends."

He skipped over to the lake and pulled off his shoes and sock before dipping his feet in. It was cold and he laughed as it tickled.
"Anyways. All I know is that my brain processes things differently. In fact..." He looked up as if thinking, "My whole body does. It's strange." He laughed. "It makes me not seem human you know. Like I'm a alien." He laughed more. "Your my friend though. I can trust you. My body. My mind. It fits itself to reflect what it fights. So if my opponent has high leg muscles it will shift my leg muscles to be like that. Then the skills and moves that person can use just appear in my mind. After the fight it all goes away.
If they have an altered body it can even change to match that. I knew someone who had metal implants within their bone. My body tried to create the same ones out of the chemicals within my body." He grinned and slashed the water with his feet. "I remember that one because after the fight I returned to normal and collapsed from lack of iron, calcium and other things. It was fun. I made friends with that person too even though he was defeated." He smiled, "So thats what I'm like. 'Copy Kid White', as my old guild mates would say."

He stood up and part in the water. He crossed his arms and looked at Armondo. "Come on them you. Your next tell me about you..em..em...what is your name again?"

[Dr. Hax]

"My name is Armondo Velasquez. I am a specialist in the Spanish military and I have been instructed to participate in the tournament as a field test for my alterations. I was just a normal corporal before I became altered. The government had begun a program to try and create enhanced soldiers...rather, a form of biological weapon. I was included in the tests and experiments. I have mechanical implants in key muscles and have been given a mix of chemicals that enable me to now exude flammable liquid from my body. It won't go out either when it's ablaze unless you coat me in water. To add to it, I don't get burns, which makes cauterizing wounds much easier. As a result from that, I will less likely need a healer unless it's regarding bone breaks. I'll show you."

Armondo took out a lighter and ignited himself. Before Jace was now a man set aflame.

"This ability of being on fire buffs my strength so that I can hit harder. I also leave burns on the opponent when they both hit me or get hit by me. I have been instructed not to take this mask off as revealing who I look like is kind of a bad thing. I am a black project after all. Now I wonder, can you set your entire body on fire and not suffer third-degree burns? If so, I will be impressed. I strongly advise that you do not experiment with that, either. Anyway, time to put out my flame and hunt."

Armondo jumped into the lake and extinguished the fire. Smoke rose from Armondo when he emerged again as he took out his bowie knife, looked at Jace while holding it to him for him to take and continued.

"This is my knife, Rosalita. We have been inseparable since the day I was punctured by her in a fight with another off-duty corporal. We got court-martialed and received a loss in pay for six months as well as mandatory placing in the experiments. He died after they placed the chemicals in him. For now, you use it. Try hunting fish with it and just let the blade guide your movements. I'm fine with my hands."
