Chapter 2
"Alright! Everyone! Grab your entrance cards and move to your sections!" Teachers hollered through microphones. Students rushed to swipe their cards.
"See you guys soon!" Vienna and Kohaku waved, following Akane and her partner close behind.
"Guess I should be going to my section." Lyaki made her way to her section.
"Lets go Kiyomi, the tournament's about to start." The pair headed on over to the Special weapon section. After every student has been divided into the three sections, the screen flashed.
"Welcome to RSMA's 850th Arena Tournament ladies and gentlemen! Like any tournament we've ever held, teams will be chosen to compete for the Crystal Cup. The winning team members will also have their names engraved in the Hall of Valor. However, this year, our Headmaster has decided to make changes. Instead of team pairs, the team will consist of a group of 8. 2 pairs from the Single, 1 pair from the Dual, and 1 pair from the Special. And the team who gets the Crystal Cup will receive an urgent task from Headmaster himself to complete. Let the drawing begin!" The screens above each section began to blink.
"The first team of 8 is... " The three screens stopped shuffling, 4 pictures were displayed. "Team Kazuka, Team Ryo, Team Honey, and Team Mari." A round of applause.
"The opposing team will be... Team Tsukiyomi, Team Alamanni, Team Lyaki, and Team Hanabiki." The audience immediately gasped. A few people started whispering.
"They sure got unlucky... Going up against last year's champions..." A pair from the Dual section murmured. Lyaki took notice of this and glared daggers at them. They hushed up. This continued for a while until all the teams were paired up for different battles.
"Last year's champions, huh..?" Hana sighed. "Guess I'll have to use my special combo weapon..." Kiyomi glanced at her.
"Guess so..." The screen flashed again.
After several matches later...
"It is time for the final round of the tournament! Rankers! Ready your weapons!" Everyone transformed their weapons.
"Scythe/Gun Merge!" Hana swung her scythe around. "Halo's Scythe!" The scythe grew a pair of small wings. A small golden halo appeared just above the scythe handle. The blade appeared as if it were made of a clear crystal jewel.
"Gun/Chainsaw Merge!" Kiyomi threw her chainsaw in the air and caught it. "Diamond Chainsaw!" The saw was sharper paired with a diamond chain. The weapon itself reflected a golden color. Mari snickered.
"Not bad. Now it's our turn. Shuriken/Machete Merge! Spade Shuriken!" The shuriken's blade reflected a navy blue color.
"Knife/Spear Merge! Scarlet Spear!" Satsu transformed his weapon. It shimmered a bright orange. The headmaster watched the two teams transform their weapons. He turned to his advisor and whispered in her ear. The woman stepped out of the small tent with a microphone.
"Everyone! I have an announcement! Headmaster has assigned "Dual" Team Lyaki a partner! The student who will be her partner from now on is... Luna Sakuraba!" Lyaki's eyes widened.
"Congrats!" A girl appeared out of nowhere onto the battlefield. Her harp transformed into twin swords at her command. She smiled weakly.
"Everyone! Headmaster has come to another decision. Another student is assigned to a team." The crowd gasped. Murmurs were heard.
"Although, the rule specifically says only two students are paired per team, but Headmaster has agreed to make an exception. Put your hands together for the lucky student... Tsukiko Kishimoto!" The applause roared through the stadium. A girl walked up the steps with her electric guitar. She transformed the instrument into steel fans.
"This is an outrage!" Satsu exclaimed through clenched teeth. Mari placed her hand over his mouth.
"Hush... Even if they have extra members, we'll still beat them to a pulp." She smirked.
"Now that everyone is ready! Put on your pvp bracelets." A small pedestal rotated around the battlefield. Each student took a bracelet and clicked it on. A blue bubble aura enclosed both teams. ( Kaguya-Hime123: Minna-san! Just to tell you... The blue aura appears then becomes invisible. It also protects everyone outside of the bubble. So, if you accidentally miss a hit and the attack hits the aura, it dissipates in an instant. ^^ )
"Let the arena match... Begin!" Fireworks exploded into the sky.
"Let's get this party started!" Kohaku charged at Ryo with her mace. "Illusion Strike!" Her blue light illuminated. She created doppelgangers of herself. Chains and spikes flew in every direction. Ryo tried to block and dodge with his nunchucks.
"Nice meeting ya!" Kohaku appeared behind Ryo and struck him with her mace. His head hit against the blue aura, hard.
"Ryo Mishi, 4000/5400."
"Yeah!" Meanwhile, her partner, Vienna was trying to dodge Sora's attacks. Ryo's partner uses a machete... Both strong and quick... Vienna was beginning to feel faint. Wasn't there a trick to this? She thought for a moment.
"Ah! I got it! Flame Butterfly!" Vienna's speed increased significantly. A second she would attack the front, and the next she would attack from the side. The blow knocked the machete out of Sora's hand. Vienna slashed through the air twice, delivering the final blow. Sora fell over clutching her chest. Vienna smiled.
"Sora Kurakano, 3600/4700"
"Damn..." Sora cursed silently. Boom!
"Mushroom cloud explosion!" Hanabiki cried out. Sigh... The smoke finally cleared. Akane surrounded herself with a force field.
"Devil Eaters!" Kazuka summoned shadow-like creatures. They grew bigger in size each time the creatures bit. She waved her wand several times.
"No use putting up a force field Ms. Akane-san. Those little guys will eat up every ounce your energy." Kazuka swung her scepter around in satisfaction. Akane broke out in sweat.
"Celestial Beam!" A light beam penetrated through each of the little devil eaters, eating up the explosions.
"Did you realize that move had a loophole?" Akane chuckled darkly. "It's just like a chess game. One wrong move, check & mate. Blizzard Hurricane!" Cold winds launched her across the battlefield. Ice shards cut into her skin. Kazuka bit her lip, cursing under her breath.
"Kazuka Mitani, 4100/5200"
"Nice one Akane." Yuu smirked. He nonchalantly blocked his opponent's strikes without a moment's hesitation.
"I wonder if they really are the champions... With moves like these, I wonder how they made it this far. Perhaps, bribery?"
"Haha, I really enjoy your sense of humor. But playtime's over. Lightning Eradication!" Electricity gathered around the battlefield. A red target appeared under Yuu. Mei shot up high in the air with her rifle. The bullet traveled down to its target as fast as lightning.
"Dragon Fury!" Yuu's sword became large and translucent. He cut through the bullet with ease as if cutting through butter. A flame circle surrounded Mei.
"Burn." She screamed in pain as flames engulfed her. The flames slowly took shape. A dragon, made of fire, held Mei in a death grip.
"Mei Kuroki, 3750/5800" Mei fought to catch her breath.
"Oh my... I'm going up against a little girl. Don't worry, I'll go easy on ya since your cute." Honey's partner, Bruce, grinned while holding his machine gun. A dark aura shimmered around Lyaki. Heh...
"Who'd you say was a little girl, you mangy bastard?! When I'm done with you, you'll be crying to your mommy." A creepy smile was plastered on Lyaki's face. ( Kaguya-Hime123: *sweatdrops* Uh... ^^; ) Bruce's eyes widened.
"Bastard, eh? Didn't know such a adorable girl like you could use such dirty language. I was thinking of going easy you... But after you've said that... I'm having second thoughts. I'll make ya beg for mercy. Better yet, I'll send ya to hell..!"
"Try me... Weakling..." Lyaki taunted.
"Why... you!? Rapid Fire!" Bruce aimed straight at Lyaki. She dodged in an instant. She danced about as the bullets bounced off the ground.
"Crimson Arrow!" The red arrow hit Bruce's arm directly. Lyaki shot one after another. He coughed up blood.
"Damn you..." Lyaki smiled innocently.
"Bruce Thompson, 4800/6120"
"I'm guessing your the rumored exchange student from Spain. Nice to meet you Luna-san." Honey spoke.
"Nice to meet you too." Luna bowed in respect. Her sword instinctively blocked the impact of Honey's katana.
"Leafe Strike!" Green vines wrapped around Luna's feet. She blocked the slash just barely.
"Twin Thunder..." Luna broke free of her bondages. Both her swords were electrified.
"Crash!" Honey was electocuted instantaneously.
"Honey Yamato, 3560/5038"
"Ugh... These two aren't easy to beat..." Hana muttered.
"Yeah, we'll beat them in one hit." Kiyomi replied sarcastically.
"How about one of us fight Satsu? Then the other two of us take Mari." Tsukiko suggested. Kiyomi shook her head.
"Don't take their moves too lightly. Their powers are at the same level. Both alone can take down one of us without a doubt."
"What other choice do we have? If they work together, they'll be twice as difficult to beat."
"We'll go with your idea, Tsu-chan." Hana responded. "Separating the two is the only way to win this."
"Alright. Let's do this!"
"I'll get Satsu. You two get Mari." Tsukiko spread her fans.
"Kay. Kiyomi, let's go." Team Hanabiki separated, running in different directions.
"My, my. Change of tactics?" Satsu fiddled with his spear tip.
"Yep. Anything wrong with that?"
"No, not at all." Tsukiko charged with her fans. Clang! Steel met steel.
"Give up already, won't you? It's already been determined that our team will win..." Satsu hissed.
"Who said?" Tsukiko bounced back.
"Get ready to taste the wrath of Team Mari..."
"More than happy to comply."
"Oni Spear!" He threw his spear with all his might. The spear glowed brighter and brighter. An oni formed, charging towards Tsukiko.
"Tornado Slash!" She cut through the air with her fans. The hit sent the oni reeling back along with the spear. Satsu nearly avoided it though unfortunately, the spear cut his leg, leaving a gash. He collapsed. Satsu glared daggers at Tsukiko.
"Guess I underestimated you..."
"Ya think?"
"Satsu Kano, 6700/7500" The audience gasped.
"Seems as if the legendary Satsu has taken a hit from competitor Tsukiko! This seems to be an interesting match!" Headmaster stroked his beard.
"Angel Wing!" The wings on the Hana's scythe expanded. She hopped on, avoiding Mari's attacks.
"Shining Wrath!" Kiyomi cut a diamond and sent it flying towards Mari. It wrapped around her whole entire body before she could do anything.
"Ugh..." Mari struggled.
"Nuh uh uh... The blades will come out to play if you struggle." Kiyomi called out to Hana. "Hana-chan, attack now!"
"Seraph's Sword!" Hana's scythe glowed. A seraph appeared in front of her.
"Charge!" The seraph obeyed her master's command.
"Strike!" Hana and the Seraph simultaneously sliced through the air. The hit caused a humongous explosion.
"Mari Francois, 4500/8000"
"Nice Hana-chan!" Tsukiko and Kiyomi both high-fived Hana.
"Huh... Fools... Don't underestimate me... Ninja Star!" The shuriken shrunk to half its size, doubling from 1 to 2 to 6. She at first charged at Hana who dodged. Whoosh! Mari's leg swung under tripping her over.
"Ow..." Hana rubbed her head. 5 shurikens were heading straight towards her. Crap... How did she manage to throw the shurikens that fast? It normally would take 3 seconds just to prepare... She really is on a different level... She jumped several times.
"Kiyomi! Look out!" Cling! Clang! She tried to deflect as many as she could. Her energy was slowly draining. Mari dashed from behind. She struck a hit behind Kiyomi's back. Oof!
"Kiyomi!" Hana watched as their health went down a tremendous amount as seconds passed. The screen flashed several times. They must have been going easy on us! Guess playtime really is over... She glanced over at Tsukiko.
"Man..." Tsukiko breathed hard, holding onto her injured arm. I'm getting tossed around by this guy... A second ago, I thought our team was winning...
"Having fun?" Satsu grinned mischieviously. "Cause if you are, I'll make sure you'll have the best time of your life getting your butt kicked!" Tsukiko glared, trying to concentrate and block his hits.
"Take this! Eagle Claw!" Knives spun out at the ends of Ryo's nunchucks. You could barely tell if he was even hitting through the blur of strikes.
"You... can't... surpass me you idiot... I'm a million... times... awesomer... than you ever will BE..! Iron... Spike!" Kohaku shouted, using all her strength to push Ryo back. She hit him with her mace several times into the ground mercilessly.
"Ryo Mishi, 0/5400. Lose!" Huh...
"Don't think you can surpass awesomest person on earth, baka!" She scolded, placing her foot on his now-dented head.
"Vienna... Are you just going to avoid my attacks? You're probably feeling tired, am I right?" Vienna bit her lip, increasing her speed. Sora caught up with her running.
"Spider Bite!" She formed a spider web. A black widow rested on the web. The minute its eyes opened, it pounced at Vienna.
"Is that all you got? Venom Sting!" Vienna summoned a cobra. It swallowed the spider in one gulp. Its jaws were wide open, baring its fangs. The cobra attached itself onto Sora's skin, sinking its teeth into her flesh.
"Yay! I win!" Vienna struck her pose.
"Sora Kurakano, 0/4700. Lose!"
One team down... Three more to go... Akane thought. Yuu grinned. Let's do this, Akane. She nodded.
"Now its our turn! Lunar Solstice!" A crescent carved into Akane's hand. A bright flash blinded Kazuka, sending her reeling back.
"Belphegor's Poison!" The special backfired. A green fog encased Kazuka in a sphere. She was coughing uncontrollably.
"Kazuka Mitani, 0/5200"
"That was easier than I predicted." Akane remarked.
"Atomic Laser!" Yuu shook his head in disappointment.
"Queen's Judgement!" One hit knockout... Mei's head spun in circles.
"Mei Kuroki, 0/5800. Lose!"
"Mega Destroyer! Time to die!"
"Not if I can help it! Guardian Echo!" The collision caused another gigantic explosion. The smoke cleared. Lyaki was still standing while Bruce was out cold.
"Bruce Thompson, 0/6120. Lose!"
"Serpent's Fang!" Honey winced in pain. Luna sheathed her swords.
"Honey Yamato, 0/5038. Lose!"
"Thunder Strike!" Satsu was forced to hit the ground with his "beautiful" face. The continuous strikes ended after he became unconcious.
"Hmph! And you call yourself a champion?" Tsukiko stuck her tongue out.
"Satsu Kano, 0/7500"
"Amazing! Competitor Tsukiko has taken out the legendary Satsu!" She smiled at the praise.
"Crystal Saw!" Mari held in her scream. Her arm bled nonstop.
"Angel Pistols!" Hana's scythe transformed into two guns.
"Death Bullet!" She delivered the final blow. Mari fell over.
"Mari Francois, 0/8000. Lose!" The screen flashed.
"Tournament match over! Victory goes to Team Tsukiyomi, Team Alamanni, Team Lyaki, and Team Hanabiki!"
"Ugh!" Kazuka yelled. Bruce slammed his fist into the ground.
"Damn it..." Satsu gritted his teeth. Mari held up her hand to silence him. He muttered to himself angrily.
"We... won..? WE WON!"
"Congratulations on winning the Crystal Cup. Your names will now be engraved in the Hall of Valor. Headmaster will see you the day after today to give you the task. The Champion this year is Team..." A holographic keyboard appeared on the battlefield. A team name was already agreed ahead of time so they typed it in.
"The Champion this year is Team Electra!" Hats were thrown in the air. The crowd applauded loudly.
"Team Electra... Has officially won the tournament!"
This is where the real journey... begins...
