Soul Calibur: All-Girls' Tournament

Protagonist: Pyrrha

Theme: Action

Disclaimer: I do not own Soul Calibur or any of its characters.

Author's Note: Been a while since I last did a fic like this. And it stars Pyrrha. Yeah, I know a lot of you hate her and probably the whole game in general, some bashing might occur in the comments….

But…it's MY choice to put her in there. She's the star and I want to prove her worthy in this AU.

And as you all know, there will be a LOT of crossover female characters. Why do all-females? I just felt like it, that's all. No need a reason, right? Maybe.

A-anyways, please enjoy!

It's an ordinary afternoon in Greece. One day, Sophitia Alexandra and her daughter, Pyrrha are walking along town, taking home some food she bought earlier and are on their way home. The younger blonde turns her head to see a flyer that catches her eye. She stops for a moment to take a gander at it.

"U-ummm...Mother?" she says, softly. "What's an...All-Girl's Tournament? I've never heard such things."

Sophitia walks over to look at what her daughter's looking. "Huh. They're doing it again. Their annual 'All Girls' Tournament' has begun already." She looks down at her daughter. "It's an official tournament where girls young and old compete in an all out battle. One against all is what they do there."

"One...against all?" Pyrrha questions.

"The main participant competes in a number of tournaments, facing 5 opponents in each of them," Sophitia says. "The winner of the tournament gets rewarded with gold coins. You can use them to spend on new accessories."

"And...who runs this...official tournament?"

"Two elves. One is a high elven goddess named Celestine Lucullus and the other is a dark elf named Origa Discordia. They always run this tournament."

"Elves...in a place like this?" Pyrrha asks with her head tilted.

"It's complicated, sweetie," Sophitia says.

"Oh..." Pyrrha looks at the flyer again and then up at her mother. "I...I would like to enter. Sounds interesting."

"Huh? But, honey, you don't know the basics of fighting, especially with a sword and shield like me and my sister," Sophitia says.

"Yes, but...I really want to be...s-strong." the younger blonde says. "I've been a weakling for far too long, as some people call me. So...I'm going to prove myself, Mother. To show them I'm more than that."

Sophitia smiles and pets her daughter. She's growing up fast. "I'm so proud of you, Pyrrha! You've grown stronger already, just from saying that."

Pyrrha giggles softly. "Thanks...Mother~"

"Why don't I teach you a few things on fighting before the tournament, hm? That way you'll know a thing or two."

"Ah...that would be l-lovely, Mother! Thank you~!" Pyrrha says happily

"O-okay..." Pyrrha gets into her battle position again.

Sophitia swings right and the younger daughter ducks. The mother goes for another swing, this time diagonally and Pyrrha jumps away to the side.

"Very, very good~" Sophitia praises. "You're getting the hang of it already."

"This is frightening...but also fun!" Pyrrha says, her soft voice a few octaves higher.

"Now then, let's go for parrying," Sophitia says. "It's also a skill for defense. It can disorient your opponent a little, but sometimes, others can still keep going. You have to be smart about where to parry."

"Parrying?" Pyrrha asks.

"Hitting another opponent's weapon back with yours. That's what I mean." Sophitia says. "Here I go."

The older blonde goes for a downward strike by raising her sword high in the air. Pyrrha quickly reacts by striking upward, connecting her blade with her mother's and creating a bit of sparks afterwards. Sophitia stumbles back a little, but then goes for a backhand strike. Pyrrha reacts to that as well by parrying that.

"Very good, my daughter~" she says.

Just then, before they continue, they hear some footsteps coming toward them.

"Oh, Sophie. Teaching your daughter how to fight~?" Cassandra asks.

"Cassie? What are you doing here?" Sophitita asks, raising an eyebrow.

"I was just interested on how you two were doing. And it looked like the little one here is learning fast. Mind if I try it out~?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Just want to test her, that's all." Cassandra says, shrugging. "But that's up to her."

"N-no, I don't mind," Pyrrha says. "I'll...I'll use what I've learned already on you, Auntie Cassie…"

"Then it's settled~" Cassandra takes the weapons Sophitia held and gets into position. "Be aware: I can be really aggressive."

"That...doesn't stop me," Pyrrha says as she gets into her battle position.

"Be careful," Sophitia says.

Cassandra and Pyrrha take their battle positions. The younger Alexandra sister backs away a few steps and then swiftly turns around to take a huge back swing with her sword. Pyrrha holds up her shield, but the impact on the sword connecting with the shield is so great that it makes the younger blonde stumble back.

"Wh-what...power...!" Pyrrha breathes.

"Easy, easy, Cassie!" Sophitia says.

"Not to worry! She's fine~!" Cassandra reassures her older sister with a wink.

The two of them face each other again. Cassandra takes a few front and back swings, both of which Pyrrha dodges. The younger Alexandra sister then takes a back swing from a diagonal point downwards and Pyrrha parries that attack, making it a chance for her to strike her arm. Cassandra yelps in pain, but remains standing, gritting her teeth. She backs away a few steps, tapping her shield with a sword a couple times before charging and doing an uppercut with her sword. But Pyrrha dodges that one and jumps to the side to slash her on the side.

"Ow! Oh, man! This little one's tougher than I thought!" Cassandra breathes.

"I-I've got more!" Pyrrha says. She lowers her arm that holds the shield and swings it backhand,, hitting her on the chest, making Cassandra disoriented a little. This gives her a chance to strike a few times with he sword a few times before Cassie recovers and blocks her attack with her shield.

"Now you've made me mad!" Cassandra takes big swings back and forth and then does an uppercut.

Pyrrha dodges them all, parries one of them and then dodges the other attack before jumping to the side, slashing her leg. Cassandra drops down to her knees from the pain. Pyrrha remains standing in her battle position, making sure that Cassie is still able to fight, but due to multiple hits, it seems that she can't.

"I...I give up. You win," Cassandra says.

Pyrrha gasps happily. "Ahhhh...I'm so happy!"

Cassandra gets up on her feet and smiles. "Wow, you're pretty good, considering that it's your first time fighting. Maybe it runs in the family after all."

"Really?" Pyrrha asks.

"Sophie here entered the tournament before~" Cassie gestures her hand towards her older sister. "She's fought very well and faced some serious opponents. I'm sure you'll do fine in this year's tournament, just like your mother~"

"I'll go watch every tournament," Sophitia adds, putting a gentle hand on her daughter's shoulder. "I'll even help you decide on what to buy for new weapons and shields after you gain awards from every tournament."

"Thanks, Mother! Thanks, Auntie~!" Pyrrha goes in to hug the both of them.

Cassandra and Sophitia return the embrace, knowing that they will fully support Pyrrha entering and winning the tournament to prove herself worthy.
