"The Millennial Tournament- Introduction"
To many, it was just a game... To some... It was The Game...
It happens once every thousand years, and it takes the greatest fighters from across the planet to compete in it..
This is, the Millennial Tournament...
The makers of this sport were the gods... Who, many years ago, having much boredom in their celestial dwelling, decide to have fun with the lives of mere mortals by making them fight each other... However, only those found worthy by them were able to attend.
100 elect fighters from a time that spans 1000 years... Some are brought back to life for this very event, and some die for it as well. 50 chosen by the gods, 50 chosen by mortals through the vote.
Though most gods have longed abandoned this meddling with mortal lives, there are a few that still that support it... Though most organization now comes from the most powerful mortals... I.e the Emperors and Kings of the greatest nations.

"Wha!?" Raguna said as he appeared in a room with white brick,
0000000000000
"Ha! Have I been brought back to life!?" Ethelberd yelled as he appeared in a room similar to Raguna's.
0000000000000
"What the!?" Kyle yelled as he appeared in the cookie cutter room, "How!? Where Am I!?"
0000000000000
"Oof!" Micah grunted as he crashed on his floor,
0000000000000
"Woah! Wait!" Frey yelled, "What is going on!? I was just with Venti in Hea- Where am I!?"

"I'm alive!?" Brodik grumbled, "How!?"

"Sweet Turnips..." Mist groaned as she held her head, for she had crashed on her arrival.

The many contestants, alive or resurrected, were startled at the sound great trumpets, and a huge door opened in their individual rooms.
They walked out, all one hundred contestants, into a large sandy floor... the base of a monstrous coliseum... The Great Arena...

"Raguna!?" a voice called out to the young Earthmate, it was one of his best friends, if not his best friend, Camus.
"Camus! You're here too!?" Raguna said in glee, "Do you know what happened!?"
"No!" Camus yelled, "I was just taking a stroll in the golden wheatfields and then I found myself in a white brick room!"
"Look.." Raguna growled, seeing Ethelberd in their midst,
"Not him..." Camus grumbled, "That's the guy that tried to destroy Kardia, right?"
"Yes..." Raguna mumbled, then looked around some more, spotting familiar as well as new faces.

"Aria!? Aaron!?" Kyle yelled as he spotted his two children, however, they were now teenagers.
"Dad!?" the two responded, quite shocked,
"Do you know where we are!?" Aaron asked,
"No..." Kyle mumbled, "Is your mother here?"
"No.." Aria responded, "We couldn't find her anywhere!"
"Oh no..." Kyle mumbled, "Mana..."
"Don't worry, dad.. I'm sure we'll find her." Aaron told his father and patted him on the back.

"Who are you supposed to be?" a Sechs soldier asked Ethelberd,
"Hmph.." the Emperor grunted, "You should know." he commented, seeing his armor.
"I do not know your name, pray tell me." the soldier continued, "Do you know why we are here?"
"Are you absurd? I am Ethelberd the Great! Savior of the Sechs!" Ethelberd yelled in anger, "I stopped the Sechs defeat in the Great War! I drove back the Noradians! Do you not know who I am!?"
"Great War?" the soldier asked in confusion, "Emperor? I thought the Emperor was Claudert..."
"Claudert!?" Ethelberd grumbled, "That was 170 years ago! How do you not remember the Secho-Noradian War!? It took the whole continent to its knees! You buffoon." he grunted.
"Er..." the soldier grunted, "Enough of that... I am Sersius..."
Eltherberd turned around in shock at that moment, "Sersius!?"
"Aye.." the knight said, "Leader of the Sechian 5th Legion... I singlehandedly put Terrable back to sleep to save the Empire."
"That's... Impossible." Ethelberd looked at the man, "How... You're history!"
However, the trumpets once again sounded when three figures entered on a luxurious balcony, then the people started cheering loudly.
0000000000000
"Hello!" the first figure called out and put out his hand to wave, "As the Grand Marshall of the Serad Republic, I welcome you to... The Millennial Tournament!"
The crowds cheered wildly at the man's announcement,
"Serad Republic?" Micah asked in confusion.
"Long ago.." the Grand Marshall spoke, "There were two great nations that sponsored the Games, the Sechs Empire and the Kingdom of Norad... As of Recently... These two great nations combined to form the great Republic that now brings you this new saga!"
"Now.." a second figure came forth, "As the Honorary Curator... I present you... our 100 contestants.. Chosen by gods and mortals to fight for us!"
The crowds cheered even more loudly, and soldiers appeared on the field to escort the fighters...
0000000000000
"Our first fighter!" the third person, the announcer, said, "Comes from a long gone, ancient and powerful race... Give it up for the Last Vampire... Iris Noire and Iris Blanche!"
The crowd cheered as the one in two vampire came up to a balcony.
"Next up... A hero from the Sagas of long ago.. The first man ever to defeat the earth dragon god Terrable... Sersius!"
0000000000000
About 10 fighters later, it was Raguna who came up.
"This fighter also defeated the great Terrable.. Saved an entire kingdom, possibly even the world... His tale is still in the books, sung in taverns across the land... Raguna!"
0000000000000
"And that is all our fighters!" the announcer said, then the Grand Marshall came up,
"In the name of the gods... these games will START!" he yelled, the crowd gave a deafening roar as the fighters all went back to their rooms, except the two first fighters.
"Alright!" the Curator said, "To start off the matches.. this first phase will be the Equality Round! All the fighters will have their power equalized, so this all depends on the skill and experience of each person... Now... To start these battles... I present to you the first match... Brodick vs Raven!"
The two fighters... hearing their cue... Stepped outside...
