([b]Saitranovia[/b] Fighting Tournament has finally picked up a win, with SFT's [b]Avalion[/b] defeating VCO's [b]Imorigaia[/b], the score is now 1-2. [b]Avalion[/b], despite her eyes still glowing and is in a combative state, she still refrains herself enough to lend a hand for [b]Imorigaia[/b]. Slowly opening her eyes and managing to lift her upper body up with some struggle, [b]Imorigaia[/b] stares at [b]Avalion[/b]'s hand, then slowly extends her left hand, all just to get cut off by 2 VCO combatant coming in, the male one instantly grabbing [b]Imorigaia[/b] as she stands on her feet. A shameful display of bad sportsmanship.) [b]Male VCO Combatant:[/b] *decked in dark green and bronze armored suit and a mask, with the only skin revealed are his arms, saying to [b]Imorigaia[/b] in Greek* (Don't you dare shake the filthy hands of a [b]Saitranovian[/b].) *The female VCO Combatant has a modernized supersoldier type of outfit rather than the ancient theme most VCO combatants have. Appearing with dark brown, long curly hair with golden streaks. Face is covered by a menacing, sci-fi gladiator mask bearing an ash gray and a sandy tan, along with a deep scar engraved on the left side. Attired in a camo gray, long-sleeved tactical shirt over tight, black leather pants, and long, black combat boots with camo gray and tan plating in the front. Extra accessories consist of metallic black, tactical chest, shoulder, and knee pads, and sci-fi, white and blue knife flails attached to both sides of her hips, held by law-defying physics. She stands in front of [b]Avalion[/b], hands gripped on her flails as she blocks her view of [b]Imorigaia[/b] being pulled away by the other combatant.* [b]Imorigaia:[/b] *in Greek* (Comrades, there's no shame in displaying a little benevolence.) [b]Masked Female VCO Combatant:[/b] *walking back before fully turning around to escort [b]Imorigaia[/b], replying back in Greek* (Benevolence? Towards [b]Saitranovians[/b]? F[b]u[/b]ck that!) *[b]Avalion[/b] does nothing but watch her opponent get forcefully escorted away. Their sportsmanship thrown away by discourteous and xenophobic combatants from one side.* _______________________ (Inside the office of the [b]Vaisallian[/b] base. Roman looks down at the arena, seemingly furious that [b]Imorigaia[/b] broke the winning streak. Grandmaster [b]Riuno[/b] walks in, quizzically looking at Roman.) [b]Grandmaster Riuno:[/b] Gladiatorial King? [b]Roman:[/b] *deep, disappointed sigh* [b]Imorigaia[/b] screwed it up. [b]Grandmaster Riuno:[/b] Gladiatorial King, we'll still win this, perhaps not so untouched. [b]Roman:[/b] No. We are [b]Vaisallon[/b], damnit. Losing doesn't exist within us. We'll have to start over with [b]Imorigaia[/b]. _______________________ ([b]Avalion[/b], still in her combative state, is accompanied by fellow SFT fighter [b]Shiruno[/b], who has a slight appearance change since she was last seen. Her white hair is longer, nearly touching her shoulders. Her white jacket is slimmer, looking more like a blazer with a hood, and has silver and golden details. Her armory has been upgraded, as she now has a harness on her back carrying a machete, and her holsters now have grenades that can disable energy abilities and generate gas that weakens opponents, and her small knives and shurikens are explosive. The 2 are walking through a corridor, back to the SFT base, but they are stopped by 3 VCO combatants, 2 of them being the ones that escorted [b]Imorigaia[/b] off the arena, and the 3rd being a returning female VCO combatant, with the dark blue, cropped chestplate and dark brown shorts from episodes prior (14).) *The VCO combatant in the dark brown shorts places her arms in front of the other 2, signaling that she'll confront the 2 on her own. Slowly approaching [b]Avalion[/b], the combatant unexpectedly comments in English, with a Greek accent: "Such tough sh[b]i[/b]t you are, aren't you?"* [b]Avalion:[/b] What?! Antagonizing me?! [b]Female VCO Combatant:[/b] Yes am I. Call yourself lucky defeating [b]Imorigaia[/b]. [b]Shiruno:[/b] Who are you, and what's your statistics? You're getting pretty smug, that you might not realize you're stepping outside the bounds. [b]Female VCO Combatant:[/b] [b]Ziressa[/b]. 1 time a Spartiate Crown winner, and a 2 time Gladiatorial Shield winner. I say again; you are lucky, "[b]Avalion[/b]"- [b]Masked Female VCO Combatant:[/b] [b]Ziressa[/b]! [b]Female VCO Combatant:[/b] *in Greek* (Quiet, [b]Iotrix[/b]!) *2 male SFT fighters, [b]Ivarien[/b] and [b]Kobaya[/b], walk in, wondering what is taking [b]Avalion[/b] so long, and the 2 got their answer; a squabble with VCO combatants. Starting with [b]Ivarien[/b], whose main colors are navy blue and yellow. He's of [b]Euphyarian[/b] descent. [b]Euphyarians[/b] are pure [b]Terranovians[/b] mixed with half of Europe, while [b]Casavatians[/b] take the other half, and [b]Vaisallon[/b] Regions take Greece and its 4 ancient ethnic groups. [b]Ivarien[/b] has very strong and defined facial features for [b]Terranovian[/b] standards. Light skin with a normal blue undertone, green eyes, dark blue, medium wavy hair with white streaks, also swept to the left. His outfit is a light-armored, navy blue combat suit with a yellow glow around his shoulders, chest, knees, and calves. He also has metallic, yellow gauntlets that can shape into blasters.* *Then [b]Kobaya[/b], who's shorter, and his colors are gray, tan, white, and teal. He's a pure [b]Terranovian[/b] who is half Asian and half Caucasian, with a purple undertone to his face. Short black hair covering some of his forehead and ears, and he appears in a white tactical jacket with gray and tan details and a faint teal glow around the torso. Under the jacket is an untucked black shirt, and his bottoms consist of fitted gray jeans and mid-length white boots, with glowing teal lines and black at the toe area and under the boots. He also has a mechanical plate bearing his 4 main colors, resting on his back.* [b]Kobaya:[/b] Avali-*paused due to the dispute he walked in on* *[b]Ziressa[/b] steps closer to [b]Avalion[/b], looking to push her buttons as she's still in that combative state, which [b]Ziressa[/b] doesn't realize is a stupid decision.* [b]Ziressa:[/b] I see you got backup. Not surprised, you [b]Saitranovians[/b] prefer to fight in groups. Maybe next up, me and these 2, fight your 3, and we just might show you [b]Vaisallian[/b] fury...*lightly shoving [b]Avalion[/b] with one hand* to see how you like it. [b]Avalion:[/b] Oh really?! [b]Ziressa:[/b] Yes! [b]Avalion:[/b] Really?! [b]Ziressa:[/b] Surely! *[b]Avalion[/b]'s eyes brighten, sensing [b]Ziressa[/b]'s weak spots around her face highlighted in yellow.* [b]Avalion:[/b] Here's a [b]Saitranovian sensitor[/b]'s fury you snobby b[b]i[/b]tch! *[b]Ziressa[/b]'s arrogance gets the better of her as [b]Avalion[/b] clocks her with a clean, energy-assisted, right punch, delivering small, continuous energy waves for extra damage, as that's all she needed. [b]Ziressa[/b] becomes limp, slowly collapsing and becoming unconscious while [b]Avalion[/b] exits her combative state and angrily walks off, and the other 3 SFT fighters follow. [b]Iotrix[/b] comes to [b]Ziressa[/b]'s aid, lifting her upper body off the ground.* [b]Iotrix:[/b] *replying to [b]Avalion[/b] in Greek, irate* (F[b]u[/b]cking b[b]i[/b]tch! Go to hell! *turning back to the other VCO combatant* [b]Desdimos[/b], get [b]Ethedro[/b], next fight will be a trios.) *[b]Desdimos[/b] nods and walks off.* ___________________________________ (Later, outside the office of the [b]Vaisallon[/b] base, the door opens as a fuming [b]Iotrix[/b] exiting, [b]Desdimos[/b] and [b]Ethedro[/b] just standing outside.) *[b]Ethedro[/b] stands a bit smaller than [b]Desdimos[/b], but taller than [b]Iotrix[/b]. Dark green eyes with golden flecks, short and spiky dark auburn red hair with a dark brown, centurion officer helmet with a vertical, orange mohawk lightly glowing. He wears a sleeveless, dark red hoodie under a black, armored vest, detailed by orange lines. Black and dark brown forearm armor pads and gloves, light blue trousers, and medium greaves that are also black and dark brown. What comes next is an entire conversation in Greek.* [b]Ethedro:[/b] (What did the Gladiatorial King say?) [b]Iotrix:[/b] (It's official, but there will be a fight before ours. Damn! I really want my hands on those 3.) [b]Desdimos:[/b] (What's the next fight?) [b]Iotrix:[/b] (From our side, it's [b]Tenionum[/b] against [b]Saitranovia[/b] Fighting Tournament's [b]Takmis[/b]. Is this "[b]Takmis[/b]" any good?) [b]Desdimos:[/b] (He's ranked in the top 15. That's all I remember, but that's backed by low standards for SFT fighters. I care just as less as the other combatants.) *[b]Iotrix[/b] sighs out of frustration.* _______________________ [b][u][FIGHT SEQUENCE][/u][/b] (The match between [b]Takmis[/b] and [b]Tenionum[/b] has been commenced, several minutes in that is. [b]Tenionum[/b] appears smaller than the average [b]Vaisallian[/b] male, having a more lean build in comparison to the hefty most of them have. His main colors are white, brown, and green. Dark blue undertoned face, golden eyes, brown, unusual spiky hair with yellow streaks, swept back, looking like some spiky helmet. His outfit is best described as a bird-themed combat suit. Short-sleeved and detailed in a very unique pattern. Long, fingerless dark brown, green, and gold gloves with 4 spikes sticking from the forearm, and long boots of the same colors as the gloves, with 4 spikes sticking out from the sides of the boots.)
