A/N: Just to let anyone that has read the story so far know, I have made a few changes to the first chapter. Actually the only change I made was to change the line-up of the fights. Also characters from Trigun, FFVII, FFTactics, and Chrono Trigger will be in the audience as well as some people I just made up that have no names. Well I'm gonna try to be at least a little funny in this chapter and I hope you enjoy it! Rember any tips or suggestions would be appreciated because it is my first fic. Thank you and please Read and Review! Just so you know, this takes place in the FFVII world (which is why it's in the FFVII section).

Story: The First Annual Swordsman Tournament
Chapter Two: The Fights begin...
The crowd all hushed as the announcer walked into the center of the ring. "Let's get ready to fight!" the announcer yelled at the top of his lungs, expecting a loud applause. He got a couple of coughs and a lot of strange looks. "Anyway" he hissed out, with a vein appearing on his head (anime style) "The rules to this competion are simple. First, you can't kill your opponent" Sephiroth was heard saying something like "awww..man" and the announcer decided to ignore the homicidal maniac and continue "Second, if you are knocked out of the ring, you lose, and finally, you can use items as long as you wield a sword and know for our first match" annoucner is seen staring at a cue card for a few minutes "uhh...Frog?...and Link!" At this the audience actually clapped out loud and the vein on the announcer's head got bigger (I love when they do that in animes).
His anger building, the annoucner walked off the ring and to the area where the fighters were all gathered, and sat down at the same table as Cloud and Sephiroth, who were busy drinking coffee and didn't notice him (Cloud sitting at the same table as Sephiroth to make sure he doesn't go on a killing spree again). As the fighters walked onto the arena, the four pilliars that Cloud had noticed before started to glow and within seconds the ring was covered in a dome-like barrier designed to keep the attacks within the ring and to register when someone fell out of the ring. As the fighters were getting the ready the short frog fighter who noticed something about his opponent. He was looking him over when he noticed his ears, which were elf ears, and suddenly realized were he had seen them before. He looked into the audience and, sure enough, there was his arch-enemy/ally Magus with those same elf-like ears. "So, thou art related to Magus are thee" Frog said and when Link gave him a confused expression he added "Don't try to hideth it, you will feel the wraith of my Masamune!" and pulled out his sword. (Sorry if I messed up the old english, I was just guessing as to how he would say that)
After hearing the words "my Masamune!" Sephiroth's eyes widened and he spat out his buring hot coffee. Unfortunatley, he spat it out right into the announcers face and the man started to run around screaming as it was really hot (Seph likes hot coffee *evil grin*). Of course, Sephiroth ignored the man's plight and immediatley walked out until he was almost to the ring with a really, REALLY pissed off look on his face. "What do you mean your Masamune!, Masamune is my sword!" and with that he pulled out the eigth foot-long blade to prove his point. The entire audience now were looking around nervously, with beads of sweat running down their heads. They knew Sephiroth reputation for massacres. "Sephiroth!, Calm down right NOW!" someone was heard yelling. Sephiroth was about to yell something back when he noticed who had yelled at him. Standing there was Aeris in her usual cloths with her Princess Guard and an angry look on her face. Sephiroth suddenly looked afraid and hurried back to the table next to Cloud, sheathing his sword along the way. Everyone looked really confused, especially Cloud (not trying to call him stupid). "Since when do you take orders from Aeris" Cloud asked. "Since the planet won't let me hurt her and she can beat the shit out of me with that staff" Sephiroth replied, soundly more like a scared little child then one of the most feared villians ever. Cloud couldn't contain it anymore, and no one else could either. The whole stadium, even the fighters, broke out into an uncontrollable laughter. At least until Sephiroth yelled "SHUT UP!!!" and placed his hand on his sword. Then everyone shut up really quick. The announcer finally recovered from his burns, and noticed the fighters weren't going at it. He realized he had forgot to announce the fight had begun and quickly ran out to the ring and yelled "Ready...FIGHT!!!"
The reaction was instant. The second he said those words, the sounds of the Masamune and Master Sword clashing could be heard. (By the way, I haven't been able to play the most recent Zelda games since I never got an N64 and my Gamecube won't play "Windwaker" so Link's gonna use a lot of stuff from "A Link to the Past" on the SNES) The battle started off even, as the two fighter kept clashing swords and neither one suffered anything more than minor cuts. Then, deciding to end the stalemate, Link tossed one of his bombs at Frog. Just as expected, Frog jumped out of the bomb's range. However, Frog's backward jump to avoid the bomb gave Link the chance to knock an arrow and he let one fly right at Frog. Frog noticed the arrow and deflected it with his sword, but didn't notice Link's second arrow until it went straight into his right leg. Frog yelled in pain, and dropped to his knees. Before he could get the arrow out, Link charged and shield bashed (That's using your shield as a weapon) Frog right in the face. Frog rolled back a couple feet, but managed to get up and pull the arrow out. Throwing the arrow aside, Frog casted a quick Cure spell on himself and it closed the injured on his leg and fixed his now broken nose. Despite the spell, both areas still throbbed with pain and Frog was getting mad at his opponent. He charge Link with a furious look in his eyes and started to hack at Link. Link blocked the attacks with his shield, but when he tried to counter with his sword, the enraged Frog knocked it out of his hand and in the process left a large gash on Link's right hand. Now swordless, Link started to back up, using the shield to block all of Frog's frantic attacks and tried to think of a way out of this mess. Suddenley he remebered one of his items, and when Frog was about to attack again, Link pulled out the Magic Hammer and smashed it right into Frog's side. Despite Link's weakend strength from his injury and guarding Frog's attacks, the hammer did a lot of damage and a few ribs could be heardcracking. Yelling in pain again, Frog quickly knocked the hammer out of Link's hand and started to renew his attacks. Now desperate, Link thougt of a last resort attack and decided to try it since he would lose if he didn't do something. He dropped something with his right hand while he unexpectedley charged Frog with his shield. This time Frog was expecting the shield bash, and sidestepped it and cut Link across his left leg. Despite the injury, Link made it past Frog and turned around just in enought time to see the bomb's he had laid go off and send Frog flying in the air and out of the ring.
The whole audience sat there staring wide-eyed at the battlefield were Link had just won the first match over Frog. Then the entire audinece, with the exception of the Chrono Trigger group, started to appalaud and whistle and all that other stuff happy people do (actually, Magus from Chrono Trigger was cheering too!). Frog and Link got medical attention and Link recoved his lost sword and hammer. Meanwhile something was happening in the audience...
...(What thought I was gonna leave you with a cliffhanger or something) a certain hyper/kleptomaniac teenage thief/ninja by the name of Yuffie was getting really excited. She loved the fights so far, but sitting down wasn't something she usually did (just ask the FFVII crew). She decided to go steal some stuff for the "glory" of Wutai. She was busy picking peoples pockets when she started to get hungry. Then she noticed a guy nearby wearing a red trenchcoat, sitting next to a bandaged up guy in a...spacesuit?!? Shrugging she started to sneak over and was catching parts of their conversation. "Whoa! That was exciting wasn't it Knives!" Vash the Stampede, legendary gunmen and idiot, yelled at his brother Knives (who was wishing he was dead because he was sitting next to Vash) "NO! It wasn't! I would much rather be off killing spiders then watching beat each other up for amumsment!" Knives yelled back at his brother. "Still haven't changed, eh Knives?" Vash said. Then he pused a button on a controller he had next to him and suddenly Knives was shaking in his seat for a few seconds before stopping with smoke coming off of him (Vash put a shock collar on Knives to make sure he would be a good little plant! *Big smile*). While Vash was busy teaching Knives a lesson, Yuffie slowly crept up and did the unthinkable, an act so horrible it will be rembered for all time. She swiped Vash's donuts (the horror! the HORROR!) and quickly ran off while stuffing some donuts in her face. Vash was happy having taught Knives his lesson and reached for a donut and found air. worried he tried again and again found air. Looking for his box of donuts, Vash caught sight of something. Sevral dozen feet away, a pretty young girl was eating a box of donuts. Know usually this wouldn't have meant anything to Vash (excpet he try to get some of the donuts) but on the side of the box read some words that made Vash very angry with this girl. On the side of the box it read "Vash the Stampede's Donuts- DON'T TOUCH OR FACE THE AWESOME POWER OF MY ANGEL ARM!!- Love and Peace!", with a picture of Vash smiling and holding his hands in his traditional V-like way. Vash immediatley rushed after the girl, knockng around audience member left and right. She saw him coming and instanley took off, and those began their chase, with Yuffie hiding behind people and Vash trying to shoot her (only to injure her) and missing while trying to avoid the people. This continued until Yuffie came to a large open spot on the bleachers with no one there (they had all ran off when they saw her coming) and she turned to see an incredibly angry Vash pointing his gun at here. He was really mad because along the way, she had finished off his donuts and now he was gonna get some revenge for his poor defensless donuts.
Everyone in the audience had stopped to watch the chase and now that it was over, Knives had a wonderful idea! (oh shit!) Using his telepathic powers, he removed the pin from the top of Vash's gun and it instanley started to tranform into the incredibly powerful Angel Arm. Normally, Vash could control it, but because of his anger he wasn't thinking straight and he started to aim the Angel Arm at poor Yuffie (shouldn't steal donuts Yuffie! and by the way I don't hate Yuffie I just thought this sounded kind of cool). Right before he could obliterate the ninja, something came flying at Vash's arm and pointed it off into the distance, where the blast shot past the horizon (I know, if he really fired it, it would have destroyed the stadium but work with me here) and traveled to the other side of the planet, shot into the sky and hit the moon (Vash did it again!). Everyone in the audience turned to see who had thrown whatever that was at Vash and noticed an extremley pissed off, and short, insurance girl. Vash quickly went pale and started to back away until he noticed that the thing Meryl (Who you think it was?) had thrown a box of donuts and she started to yell at him to never try to blow up a place over a box of donuts. Then, just as Vash feared, she kicked his ass. During this Yuffie made her way back to the other member of the FFVII crew who were all staring daggers at her for nearly getting them all killed...
Priview for Next Chapter:
The fights continue! and the audience goes even crazier because some guys start hitting on Tifa and pissing Cloud off. You can see where this is going...(I'm starting to wonder if there will be a stadium after these fights get through)
A/N: Did you like it? I hope so! Oh by the way sorry I couldn't get more than one fight in but I thought the chapter was getting kind of dragged out, and I forgot to thank my one reviewer (loud fanfare is heard in the background) so thanks AnnatheAncient for your review and I hope you liked how this chapter went. I have to wrap this up now but I'll try to update quickly okay. Bye everybody!
