Chapter 2: The First Round
Alviss' POV
It was the day of the first round of the War Games. I woke up and quickly changed into my usual clothes not caring if I woke up Bell or not. When I was finished getting dressed, Bell woke up, and the both of us headed to the arena.
At the arena Ginta and the rest of the team were already there waiting for Pozun to appear. As we waited for Pozun I continued to stare at Ginta. As I stared at him my heart began to beat faster. Why was that happening. I snapped out of my trance when Pozun came out of the castle. He began to explain the rules of the War Game. Ginta was so clueless, so we all had to explain it to him piece by piece.
Eventually Pozun said that we had to choose a captain from the six of us and to choose wisely.
"Based on Pozun's explanation, the captain is the key." The monkey Jack stated.
"I think Alviss would be good." Ginta began. "He experienced the previous battle, and understands the rules clearly. Right?"
I was flattered that Ginta wanted me to be the captain, but sadly I turned it down as I glanced at the blonde. Everyone else was doing the same thing. Ginta was confused at first but soon got the answer to who was going to be the captain. "M-Me?"
"I'd liked to make either Alan or myself captain, but Alan is inside the dog right now. And you have a common trait with Danna: you both come from a parallel world." I said. Half of what I said though was a lie as I really didn't want to be the captain.
"Are you sure I'm the right choice?" The blonde asked in a serious tone.
When he said that the witch Dorothy pushed Jack out the way and told him, "That means everyone has high expectations for of you Gintan."
With that she bent over and kissed Ginta on the cheek. Ginta blushed as the princess Snow got angry at her. (You could tell because there were flames behind her back.) I shouldn't really care about this stuff, but why was my heart hurt just seeing Dorothy kiss Ginta? It's not like I like Ginta or anything…
I didn't want Dorothy's kiss sink into him, so I quickly said, "I'm filled with anxiety, but I guess it's just superstition."
What I said worked as Ginta popped up in my face and started yelling at me. "Then why don't you do it?! Stupid!"
"How you dare say that to Alviss! Stupid Ginta!" Bell yelled.
Ginta's talking ÄRM Babbo began to say something about Ginta being chosen as the captain. The two began to argue over something stupid again as I thought to myself, Can I really trust this guy?
Within a few minutes our captain was decided as Pozun declared that the War Games have begun. The princess of the castle Princess Reginrave appeared before us and threw two dice in the air that landed on the ground. The dice showed a 3.
"The first three means the battle will be 3 vs. 3. The second means that the location is here, Reginrave Field!"
A battle field then came out of nowhere as well as the opponents. They called themselves the Rodokin Family.
Pozun then asked us who was going to be participating in the match. Since all of us wanted to fight Ginta decided that the three people to fight would be decided by rock paper scissors. We played the game and the three people participating would be Ginta, Jack and me. Unknown to myself I turned my head toward Dorothy and Snow and smirked evilly. Why I did that…I may never know? As long as the two girls and Ginta didn't noticed I could care less.
The teenage male of the Rodokin family complained about not being able to fight a girl. He was warned by the big muscular guy to not underestimate us, but the boy didn't listen. He stepped up to the field as he was going to be the first opponent.
"Good luck Ginta." Snow cheered from the side lines.
"Leave it to me!"
My heart was beating faster again. What was it this time? Was it because Ginta agreed with Snow? If it was then I won't let Snow have her way.
"Wait."
Ginta stopped dead in his tracks as he turned to me. "I'll go first."
I jumped into the arena as I face my opponent. This is the perfect chance for me to impress Ginta! I thought to myself.
"Alviss…" The blonde haired boy mumbled.
"Ginta, I'll show you what a real battle is."
Pozun then started the refereeing. "Rodokin Family, Leno. Cross Guard, Alviss…"
There was a long pause before Ginta shouted, "Alviss, take it easy! I'm still on the bench!"
"Shut up."
The crowd began to judge me about my appearance and how I was just a kid. That was just as irritating as Ginta wanting to be tagged in.
"Ginta, watch closely. I'll show you what a real battle is about." I repeated to him.
"Take it easy…" Ginta mumbled.
"Round one, begin!" Pozun declared.
The battle didn't begin yet, as Leno taunted, "Wasn't that a speech slut?"
A red vein appeared on my head. If these Chess Pieces are going to insult me, then say something that isn't so embarrassing in front of Ginta!
"Weapon ÄRM, Stone Jamadhar!" Two blades then appeared on his left and right arm.
"13 Totem Poles. Rod Version." I got out my trusty bow.
There was a pause before Leno charged at me. We clashed at each other as I continued to block all of his attacks.
Normal POV
"What's wrong with Alviss?" Ginta asked. "Is he having trouble against a guy like him?"
"He's just staying composed." Babbo answered.
"Really?" Jack asked.
"Well, I guess the second servant wouldn't understand yet." Babbo said with a sigh.
"I'm not your servant!"
Alviss' POV
Leno grew tired of me running away from his attacks. "Damn you, running around like that."
I grinned evilly again. My plan of making my enemy angry was working.
"But this one won't let you. Nature ÄRM, Flame Ball!" Fireballs appeared behind him as they were launched at me. "Try dodging these things!"
I did that, but the fireballs were aiming toward Ginta and Jack. They ran out of the way just as the fireballs exploded.
"STUPIDO! Don't make them come this way!" Ginta screamed.
"Protect yourself on your own, moron." I told him.
Ginta began cursing at me, but was stopped by Bell who told him that I would be ending the fight soon.
My bo disappeared as I asked Leno, "Would you like me to give you a choice?"
"Huh? A choice?"
"A painful loss, or a painless one. Which do you choose?"
"Huh? Where's the opinion of where you die?"
"I won't kill you. I don't want to become like you guys, and I'm only after one person."
I think I upset the Rodokin Family, but that didn't matter to me until I heard Leno say, "So who is the guy you're after?"
A red vein appeared behind my head, but I maintained my posture, "The Chess Pieces should already know."
Leno was obviously confused at what I just said so he points his hand toward Ginta and ask, "Do you mean that guy?"
I snapped. How dare he say that I was after Ginta. A totem pole appeared underneath him and rose him up in the air. "You chose the painful loss…"
The totem pole disappeared and Leno fell on the ground head first. The audience gasped as Pozun declared me the winner.
The crowd cheered as I turned toward Ginta and Jack who stared at me in amazement with cat ears and tails.
Normal POV
"One hit?!" Ginta and Jack asked at the same time.
"That's my Alviss." Bell said with relief.
Alviss did a little pose as Ginta quickly said. "That's nothing, right, Jack?"
Jack quickly backed him up, "Right!"
"I dodged all 13 totem poles that came out, right?"
"Right!"
Alviss glared at the two boys and yelled, "I wasn't being serious on that day!"
Alviss' POV
I got down from the battle field as everyone congratulated me for my win. I could only blush when Ginta commented me of my skills.
Eventually the second match started with Jack vs. the girl Pano. Jack seemed to be losing, but turned it around when he caught her in his beanstalk attack. He was about to finish her off when she screamed, "DON'T TOUCH ME!"
The crowd was shocked (even Jack) as she screamed PERVERT.
"She just said pervert," Ginta began, "Did he do something to her?"
"I couldn't see anything from here." Babbo told his owner.
"Did he really touch her?" The dog asked.
"I don't think Jack is that kind of person..." Snow mumbled.
Dorothy glared at Jack and said, "He was peeping in the shower when we were in the Gate of Training."
"SO HE DID TOUCH HER!" Snow yelled with a change of heart almost immediately.
"I think he did..." Nanashi grumbled.
"Although the one that he ended up seeing was Bumoru..."
"I see," Bell began, "Must be what Babbo taught him."
It's clearly amazing how everyone turned on you Jack. I thought to myself. Where's the justice there?
"You're no longer my second servant!" Babbo declared.
Pano continued to scream pervert as Jack climbed the beanstalk and shouted, "I didn't touch her!"
"PERVERT! PERVERT! PERVERT!"
The audience and Team MAR started calling Jack a pervert…even Ginta was calling him a pervert. I was the only who wasn't calling him a pervert because I was the only one who saw that he didn't touch her. I didn't tell everyone to stop calling Jack a pervert because I didn't want people thinking of me the wrong way…
Jack couldn't take it anymore and exploded, "I'm not a pervert! I said I didn't touch her and I mean it!"
I couldn't agree with you more Jack.
"PERVERT! PERVERT!" With that the ball that Pano was using as a weapon came off of her staff and went straight toward Jack hitting him in the…umm…sensitive part…
Ginta, Babbo, Nanashi and I were shocked as the men in the audience were holding their groan. That really got to hurt.
Jack fell down face first as the beanstalk disappeared that was holding Pano, and Pozun declared Pano the winner.
The medical team took Jack away as Snow looked at him with a worried expression.
"Jack…"
"It's better if you leave it to the medical team..." Nanashi told the princess.
Snow glanced at Nanashi, then at Jack before asking, "Nanashi, does that attack really hurt that much? Is it that painful?"
"Yeah. It hurts..."
I glanced at Jack and thought to myself, This is why I hate women. People always take their side…wait did I just say I hate women? That came out wrong again...
The match was now 1 to 1 so everything was up to Ginta…
Ginta jumped to the arena and so did the big muscular guy.
"For the captain's match, from the Chess Pieces, Gallon! For the Cross Guards Ginta!"
"I'm with MAR! Don't you forget it!" Ginta shouted.
"R-Right…For MAR Ginta!"
The audience began talking about how Ginta wouldn't be able to win and that their fate is sealed. Snow and I were hearing this and started to get rather irritated on how these people lose there trust in Ginta that easily.
"We should all cheer him on!" Snow shouted.
"That's right!" I shouted after her.
Snow gave the audience her smile as the two men in the crowd who were talking about Ginta the most looked at her with a worried look and agreed. That was enough to encourage them to cheer for Ginta. I looked at Ginta to see his evil grin. He must really like the audience cheering for him…
"Ginta! Good luck!" Snow cheered. God she's so annoying!
Dorothy gave Ginta a thumbs up as Jack and Nanashi cheered for Ginta too. I didn't want to the only one left out so I shouted, "Ginta, if you lose, I'll regret having you as a captain!"
Ginta glared at me as I ruined the moment.
"First battle, final round, begin!" Pozun shouted.
Ginta attacked first by transforming Babbo into a hammer like object and hitting Gallon on the head. It had no affect as Gallon punched Ginta in the stomach pushing him back. The bishop then showed him the five nature ÄRM on his left hand that gives him physical hardening and the nature ÄRM on his right hand that gives him strength enhancement.
"Putting on that many…It's cheating!" Jack yelled.
"No it's not..." I told him. That guy is on the higher end of the bishop class. His body is like metal and has enormous strength. What will you do Ginta? Show me a battle to win my trust.
Ginta then turned the hammer into a gun like object and began firing bubbles out of it. The bubble bombs didn't work either as Gallon attacked Ginta again and again. I was starting to get worried if Ginta really was going to lose or not.
Ginta was down and it seemed that Gallon won. Just when Pozun was about to declare the winner Ginta gets up with a huge aura coming out of him.
Dorothy, Nanashi and I noticed the Chess Pieces gathering around to watch the fight with Ginta.
"Let's go old man. Version 3 Gargoyle!"
Suddenly a Guardian appeared in shape of a gargoyle. (It was huge!) You could say that we were all stunned by the enormous power the gargoyle was giving off.
"Go get him Gargoyle!"
The guardian then charged at Gallon as he attempted to block Gargoyle's fist.
As Gallon and Gargoyle were clashing at each other Ginta mumbled, "I won't forgive you. You kill people just for entertainment. How could I forgive that?!"
When Ginta said that the ten ÄRM shattered as Gargoyle picked him up and threw him to the ground. Ginta was exhausted as Gallon got up from the attack breathing heavily. Gargoyle was going to have the finishing blows when that girl Pano got in the way.
"Stop! We forfeit the match so please spare him! To us…he's our precious pops!"
Ginta being the softy that he is, let the Gargoyle disappear. Pano told Pozun to declare the winner.
"Y-Yes. The first stage is over. Ginta wins, so the winner is MAR."
The crowd cheered for Ginta's victory.
"Yeah!" cheered Jack.
"You're amazing Ginta!" cheered Snow.
Good job Ginta. The power of the new ÄRM that you've created is really amazing, but…
"Gintan!" Dorothy ran over to Ginta and was about to pounce on him when the other members of Team MAR got in the way.
Might as well join in too! I thought to myself as I ran toward Ginta.
Me: TBC with 2707 words. More editing except Dorothy's pet name for Ginta because Gintan doesn't have to be a Japanese thing and can just be her being cute and removal of that embarrassing commentary...I swear me now is so different from me then...ha hah...-sigh- Reviews are appreciated. Ja ne.
