(First match to kick off this once-in-a-lifetime combat event with SFT against VCO, is Gladiatorial King Roman's loyalists; the [b]Remidios[/b] twins, going up against SFT's [b]Yakaru[/b] twins. As the fight officially begins, [b]Idonios[/b] points at [b]Yakaru[/b] twin [b]Ryujo[/b], signaling his shorter twin, [b]Aeriyos[/b], to take that twin while [b]Idonios[/b] takes [b]Ryoma[/b].)

[b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b]
*[b]Aeriyos[/b] lunges at [b]Ryujo[/b], -blam!- by dodging towards the right. He then slides towards Aeri in attempts to sweep his legs, only for him to stomp on [b]Ryujo[/b]'s right leg, then gets on top of him and starts wailing punches, [b]Ryujo[/b] countering by placing his feet on Aeri's chest and kicking him back, sending him back several meters.*
*[b]Ryoma[/b] is evading every swing coming from Idoni, who then goes for a strong side kick, right leg emitting gold and blue energy. [b]Ryoma[/b] presses Idoni's kicking leg, wraps his left arm around his neck, flips him over, then charges up yellow energy for 2 seconds before dropping a downward spin kick that sends Idoni flying towards a pillar within the arena, slightly cracking it.*
[b]Kavita:[/b] *a bit satisfied by the performance of the [b]Yakaru[/b] twins* Wow. [b]Yakaru[/b] Twins have been putting in work with their training since their loss to [b]Karnage Vyper[/b] previous major SFT event.
[b]Vandren:[/b] They said: "We're not taking losses anymore...at least not an embarrassing one."
[b]Idonios:[/b] *standing up and brushing himself off* That was a really slick move there, cyber ninja. Let's bump it levels up!
*He summons a [b]Vaisallian[/b] battle axe, which has a gold glow at the sharp ends, a blue energy core in the middle of the handle.*

*[b]Ryoma[/b] brings out his futuristic, black, gray, and white sword with a glowing yellow hue. Both [b]Yakaru[/b] twins have this sword actually, but digression. The 2 leap towards each other and they clash melee weapons. [b]Ryujo[/b] unleashes rapid-fire, one-inch punches to [b]Aeriyos[/b]' torso and face, then ends the combo with a powerful right fist, yellow energy emitting from it, putting Aeri in a daze. Quickly returning to his senses, Aeri ducks under an incoming flying kick, teleports out of [b]Ryujo[/b]'s view, only to reappear above him, and hit a diving energy kick that knocks him down. Aeri jumps into the air and fires blue and gold, short, consecutive energy blasts that [b]Ryujo[/b] dodges by rolling. As Aeri lands close enough, [b]Ryujo[/b] grabs his right leg, and throws him towards Idoni, who nearly hits a thrust kick on [b]Ryoma[/b].*
*As the [b]Remidios[/b] twins are distracted, the [b]Yakaru[/b] twins hit a barrage of strikes, with the [b]Remidios[/b] twins sent flying back towards each other, but with perfect timing, they manage to avoid bumping each other, as Idoni hits a knee strike on [b]Ryoma[/b]'s mouth, then as he leaned down, he summons his battle axe and smashes it over the back of [b]Ryoma[/b], then hits an upward attack with the double axe head, sending [b]Ryoma[/b] mid-air.*
*Aeri breaks [b]Ryujo[/b]'s guard, and in perfect coordination with his twin, they charge up energy and execute a double superkick, the right move for them as it stuns [b]Ryujo[/b]. They then unleash a barrage of kicks and knee strikes that bring [b]Ryujo[/b] to his knees. Aeri summons his special [b]Vaisallian[/b] morning star, which has glowing gold spikes on a blue head and a long black handle. The 2 then bring down brutal body hits with their melee weapons, just destroying the defenseless [b]Ryujo[/b]. As he drops immobile, the [b]Remidios[/b] twins stand over [b]Ryujo[/b], suddenly, and out of desperation, [b]Ryoma[/b] lunges at the [b]Remidios[/b] twins, and what he thought would be an outstanding way to go out, he just gets clubbed in the stomach by Aeri and his morning star, while Idoni charges up energy for 3 seconds before concluding the fight with a superkick that sends [b]Ryoma[/b] crashing through a pillar. The [b]Remidios[/b] twins are victorious.*

___________________
[b]Auro:[/b] *looking very disappointed but also expected the outcome* Uh, well then, *partially energetic* the [b]Remidios[/b] Twins are your winners!
*Cheers are coming from the [b]Vaisallian[/b] attendees, while the rest of the crowd are either booing or in silence.*
[b]Kavita:[/b] Wow. *raspy breather* 2nd loss in a row for the [b]Yakaru[/b] twins.
[b]Ainotias:[/b] Like Van said, this is a less embarrassing loss.
[b]Shiani:[/b] 1 point for [b]Vaisallon[/b], 0 points for [b]Saitranovia[/b]. *sighs* I'm sure you can do this, right, [b]Saitranovians[/b]?
[b]Casaphne:[/b] The little motivation talk isn't helping much, [b]Shiani[/b].
[b]Sakiro:[/b] *replying to Cas* It could work, if our fighters can study them while in combat and find counterattacks, we could make some good progress.
*As a small break occurs before the next fight, several attendees are getting up, but amongst them, Kav and see [b]Emeliss[/b] Rose, sitting 2 rows down, alongside some of her family and friends.*
[b]Kavita:[/b] Hey, is that [b]Emeliss[/b] Rose down there?
*Rose, alongside her family and friends, turns towards the person calling her name.*
[b]Rose:[/b] [b]Kavita[/b]. Sweet seeing you here.
*Rose's mother; [b]Crysine[/b] Rose, sits next to her. Her daughter has her exact features; rosy red eyes and shiny, long red hair, [b]Crysine[/b] sporting a unique red blazer with long, silver collars. Midnight blue dress shirt over slim, white slacks. She sits cross-legged, tapping her daughter in her shoulder: "Is that the woman you were in a feud with years back?"*
[b]Rose:[/b] Yeah, but it's been resolved. We're complete opposites, but that doesn't make either of us anymore superior or inferior.
[b]Crysine:[/b] *under her breath* Ohhhh..*clear understanding on her daughter and Kav's relationship status*
[b]Cathera:[/b] *to Rose* Sooo, thoughts on our competition?
[b]Rose:[/b] Ehhh, they're quite the battle-hardened savages. "Failure" doesn't exist in their perspective. Hopefully, our SFT fighters will find a way.
*Back over on Sai's side, an uninterested Sai looks around him until he can feel [b]Kizani[/b]'s glare at his way. Staring back at her for a few seconds before she then summons an old-fashioned mixed with modern, dark brown railgun with silver accents around it, and a long, silver bayonet. She places her elbow on the butt of the railgun. Sai then looks up at the arena, where noblemen hunters survey the perimeters. He continues to look up until he spots a familiar nobleman hunter; [b]Kuroda[/b], who despite being many meters down, can see Sai looking up to him. Sai points to [b]Kizani[/b] and makes a gesture that depicts him holding a gun, as if he's telling him that [b]Kizani[/b] is brandishing a weapon.*
[b]Kuroda:[/b] Hey [b]Tarano[/b], looks like Saitonia and his friends are here. Looks like he's trying to inform us of someone.
[b]Tarano:[/b] *walking closer to [b]Kuroda[/b] as he also looks down at the crowd* Yeah, I'm seeing a woman with a large rifle or something. *tapping [b]Kuroda[/b] on his right arm* Let's go.
*The 2 carefully leap down to a walkway within the seating sections. Slowly, they make their way towards [b]Kizani[/b], still with her elbow on her special railgun. [b]Tarano[/b] taps [b]Kizani[/b]: "Excuse me, Miss." [b]Kuroda[/b] suddenly comes in, warning [b]Kizani[/b]: "You might have to put that weapon away or else you'll be ejected from the arena."*
[b]Kizani:[/b] *making her railgun vanish* My apologies. That purple-eyed guy over there *pointing to Sai* he's a future tyrant. Watch out for him.
[b]Kuroda:[/b] If so, we'll take care. It's not your concern. Thanks.
*[b]Tarano[/b] and [b]Kuroda[/b] walk away, back to the top of the arena to continue surveying. Sai then looks at [b]Kizani[/b], shrugging his shoulders in response.*
*Minutes later, some of the attendees are returning to their seats due to another fight ensuing.*
[b]Auro:[/b] *firmly gripping the mic* Alright, next up is a singles match. From the SFT; the sinister, the menacing; [b]Karnage Vyper[/b]!
*As the SFT gate slides up, [b]Vyper[/b] slowly walks towards the combat area. He glares attentively at the VCO gate, wondering who his opposition will be.*
*Another announcer emerges onto the stage; a [b]Vaisallian[/b] woman, who towers over [b]Auro[/b], appearing with dark caramel skin and a light blue undertone. Yellow eyes, medium, spiky dark brown hair with gold streaks, with a spiked ponytail. A silver, black, gold, and red blazer with really long collars, bearing the symbol of the VCO on the back, which the symbol is a shield with the silhouette of an armored figure wielding a massive hammer. The announcer wears slim, white slacks with black and gold knee pads, and long, black and gold boots. The [b]Vaisallian[/b] portion of the crowd erupts into cheers.*
[b]VCO Announcer:[/b] *in Greek, also replying to the attendees cheering her* Thanks, thanks. *to [b]Auro[/b] in lackluster English* I take...I take here, thank you. *in Greek* It's me; your host of the [b]Vaisallian[/b] Combat Organization; [b]Aredeses Kodelphus[/b], here to introduce you one of our best combatants; 4 time VCO [b]Spartiate[/b] Crown Winner; [b]Axenodon[/b]!
*The VCO gate slides up and reveals [b]Axenodon[/b], who is also revealed to be the same VCO fighter from episodes prior, with his maroon tunic and white trousers. He has also added dark gray gauntlets with a burgundy glow and golden shoulder pads, alongside thick, dark gray, [b]Vaisallian[/b] combat boots, bearing the same burgundy glow. The VCO combatant confronts [b]Vyper[/b].*
[b]Saffyre:[/b] Ehhh, "[b]Spartiate[/b] Crown" Does anyone know what level that is?
[b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Continued Below:[/i][/b] [b]Esadius:[/b] That's the highest reward a VCO fighter can achieve. It even involves going on undefeated streaks and winning another major title, only a level lower, which is the Gladiatorial Shield. [b]Saffyre:[/b] Wow, and considering how elite the fighters are in [b]Vaisallon[/b]'s combat industry, there's always better. [b]Esadius:[/b] *gruff, monotonous "hmp"* You wanna know who's won more [b]Spartiate[/b] Crowns? Lemme just say...he's the current King of [b]Vaisallion[/b]. [b]Ainotias:[/b] Roman. [b]Cathera:[/b] How many times has he won it? [b]Esadius:[/b] 26 times. It's not the most amount an individual VCO fighter has won, but it's a hell of an achievement, almost damn near impossible for average VCO fighters. It's not surprising that their top fighters move on to become rulers of [b]Vaisallon[/b]. [b]Virol:[/b] *uneasy whistle* [b]Karnage[/b]'s inevitable loss isn't going to look so pretty. [b]Aredeses:[/b] *to the crowd, in Greek* Let the fight commence! _________________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] [b]Karnage Vyper:[/b] *taunting [b]Axenodon[/b]* Come on! What's your capabilities?! *enters a fighting stance* Wouldn't want you to go all easy. *[b]Axenodon[/b] just stands there, motionless, letting [b]Karnage[/b]'s obstinacy get the best of him. Dark red energy swirls around him, making [b]Vyper[/b] pause, but then just rushes [b]Axenodon[/b]. His attempt does no favor as a large, dark red shard just flies at him diagonally from his right ([b]Axenodon[/b]'s left), luckily evading the projectile in time.* *[b]Karnage[/b] teleports, then reappears above [b]Axenodon[/b], body covered in red energy, ready to slam his armored claw down on him, but then gets hit with a dark red shard shot up from [b]Axenodon[/b]'s body. Just several meters away, [b]Karnage[/b] activates [b]Enygma[/b] Form Stage 3, while managing to keep his unique, armored right claw. [b]Axenodon[/b] then manifests a long, 2-handed mace, made of the same material as the dark red shards, also having a spear-like tip on the other end. He points the mace at [b]Karnage[/b], signaling him to bring it on.* *[b]Karnage[/b]'s armored claw clashes with [b]Axenodon[/b]'s mace. They continue for 7 seconds until [b]Karnage[/b] grabs onto [b]Axenodon[/b]'s mace with his other claw; the [b]Enygma[/b] form one. He tries to break it, but is unexpectedly lifted up as if he were some featherweight, as [b]Axenodon[/b] grips the mace with both hands, then taking his right hand off to command a shard to fire, piercing through [b]Vyper[/b] as he is sent to the ground. He lifts his head up, seeing [b]Axenodon[/b] coming in, slamming his mace down on him, swiftly responding with a powerful, red energy bomb to his arms, causing [b]Axenodon[/b] to lose his balance, then [b]Karnage[/b] follows up with a one-handed kip-up into a dropkick that sends him flying.* *Recovering with a quick, backward roll, [b]Axenodon[/b] summons a wall made of dark red shards, only for [b]Karnage[/b] to bust right through it, delivering an uppercut with the special claw that sends [b]Axenodon[/b] mid-air. Jumping up to his level, the 2 clash while airborne. As [b]Karnage[/b] brings his right claw towards [b]Axenodon[/b], he counters by covering that claw in dark red crystals. As he descends, he pulls [b]Vyper[/b]'s left leg, spins around several times, then throws him afar, [b]Vyper[/b] luckily not hitting the crowd, and instead a barely-viewable, azure-blue force field.* [b]Kyokia:[/b] Whoa! Thank the [b]Arckyve[/b] they put a force field around the arena. *Frustrated and enraged, [b]Karnage[/b] transforms into [b]Dragonus Enygma[/b]. He then fires a dragon created from his own energy at [b]Axenodon[/b], retaliating by covering it in dark red crystals. [b]Karnage[/b] one-ups him by firing 2 energy dragons, breaking through the crystals, and dealing some good damage to [b]Axenodon[/b]. Despite taking some damage, he shows no reaction, just simply stands proudly, perhaps that's the [b]Vaisallian[/b] code in combat.* *[b]Karnage[/b] then just wings it and unleashes a barrage of energy dragon attacks, [b]Axenodon[/b] eluding every attack coming his way. [b]Karnage[/b] punches through a dark red crystal wall and fires a dragon, [b]Axenodon[/b] covering his forearms with shards to guard the projectile, but is being pushed back. To avoid any further damage from the energy dragon, he places a crystal wall before dodging to the right. Consuming drastic amounts of energy, [b]Karnage[/b]'s body is surrounded by energy dragons swirling around him. They then come together to form one massive energy dragon.* [b]Alexa:[/b] *mixture of shocked and scared* Wow. I guess..dragons would be cool to ride...in fiction. *[b]Karnage[/b] commands the enormous energy dragon to attack [b]Axenodon[/b], who begins to jump as far away from the dragon's upcoming assault, using time in hopes that the dragon will disintegrate soon. As the assault begins, the dragon fires beams that cover an insane amount of ground within the arena, and as he dodges it in any way he can, [b]Axenodon[/b] is suddenly struck by [b]Karnage[/b]'s claw. He then brings his mace up to his face, making [b]Vyper[/b] grab it with the other claw. [b]Axenodon[/b] turns around to see the dragon flying right towards him, and jumps out the way just in time as [b]Vyper[/b] is pulled with him.* *[b]Axenodon[/b] sweeps [b]Karnage[/b]'s legs, then delivers a front thrust kick that sends him flying a few meters. He then turns around to see the massive energy dragon flying his way, an intense red aura around it, so he counters with by building up dark red shards on his forearms, then firing those shards, managing to enclose the energy dragon in one massive, dark red shard. [b]Axenodon[/b] then summons a small crystal and flicks it at the large shard enclosure, breaking it into small fragments as the dragon disintegrates. Unexpectedly, [b]Karnage[/b] teleports to [b]Axenodon[/b]'s left, preparing for a brutal claw strike, but counters by grabbing his right claw, and flicking a small crystal at his torso, depleting more of [b]Karnage[/b]'s energy, then capitalizes on his depleted energy by trapping him in a large crystal wall, too tough for [b]Karnage[/b] to break out of, even with energy assistance.* *To conclude the match, [b]Axenodon[/b] covers his mace in an extra layer of shards and sends in several blows. He then backs up, watching [b]Karnage[/b] desperately try to free himself from the crystal wall, even teleportation is off limits. [b]Axenodon[/b] unleashes his ultimate attack. From various directions, large crystals rise from the ground and are heading towards [b]Karnage[/b], coming together and hitting him simultaneously. He then flicks a small crystal at [b]Karnage[/b], causing all the other crystals to explode. [b]Karnage[/b] drops motionless to the ground, losing the match.* [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE OVER][/u][/b] ___________________ *Majority of the crowd erupts into boos while a niche amount, which are [b]Vaisallians[/b], cheer, VCO scoring 2-0 against SFT.* [b]Aredeses:[/b] *proudly, in Greek* [b]Axenodon[/b] emerges victorious! [b]Virol:[/b] Damnit, I knew it. Would y'all say [b]Karnage[/b] put up a fight? [b]Aguiro:[/b] *unsure* Perhaps. [b]Casaphne:[/b] Maybe. [b]Alexa:[/b] Dunnoooo, but them dragons...*eyes widened, facials are a mix between scared and surprised* [b]Kavita:[/b] *breathy chuckle* We really gotta give Alexa here some superpower so she could be a little...*raspy breather* less fearful of the "mystiques" on this planet. [b]Cathera:[/b] Mhm. *turning around and looking up at Kav, who's sitting behind her* We're not looking so good. And even worse, I feel there's some strings being pulled behind this event. [b]Kavita:[/b] I'm agreeing with you on this one. The fact one of the minor SFT arenas was vandalized a while back just proves it. *Sai sits in deep thought, maybe of whom the next contestants are, what kind of sneaky move [b]Kizani[/b] might pull, or even if [b]Liomage[/b] and Roman might confront each other sometime later, he could be thinking of anything. [b]Saitranovia[/b] Fighting Tournament is off to a rough start going 0-2 to [b]Vaisallon[/b] Combat Organization. Hopefully, they will catch up and overcome the arduous odds.* _____________________ [b][u]END:[/u][/b] [spoiler][b]Erased....[/b][/spoiler]
