Earthquake, Disaster!
Ace reached the next floor to find a man in a green uniform stood. He was making pillars rise and drop all around the room. Ace walked towards him. He held a staff in his hand and had his eyes closed as Ace continued walking towards him.
"Rai failed to kill the traitor?", the man asked without opening his eyes,"Just like the contest for who would become the next leader, eh?" The man opened his eyes and stared at Ace, uncaringly.
"Lao?", Ace asked.
"Yes", Lao said.
"I command you to stand down", Ace said, thinking of a new plan.
"You are no longer a leader to me, Ace", Lao said,"I will kill you before you reach the next floor." Ace let his keyblade appear and sighed.
"If its the only way", Ace said,"I will beat you." Lao spat on the ground and got his stick ready. Ace immediatly charged. Lao slammed the ground with his stick, causing several spikes to erupt from the ground. Ace dodged by jumping, but was struck in the chest by a jab from Lao. "Where are your students?", Ace asked,"I noticed Rai's werent there either."
"Our students were taking a break. They went to some world using a ship and are taking a vacation", Lao said,"You shall find no ones' students are here except Jin's and Yin's because they wanted to train for vacation. How unlucky for them."
"Well, they arent dead", Ace said,"Just asleep." Lao went foward, summoning some rocks to fly foward as well. The rocks were blocked and Ace clashed with Lao as their weapons met. Lao sank into the ground, grinning. Damn it! Where is he? Suddenly, Ace felt two hands grab his ankles. He was dragged into the ground, but then Ace saw something.
Ace and Lao stood in an arena similar to the one he fought Rai in. The leader stood, watching like last time and the crowd was there as well.
Now!", the leader yelled out,"The first round of the tournament to see who will succeed me in leadership shall begin! Ace of the Fire Regiment VS Lao of the Earth Regiment! Begin!" Ace charged foward instantly, but the same thing that happened just moments before happened here and the earth spikes came out. Everything went the same up to Lao going into the ground. Ace looked around for him, but was then grabbed by the ankles and dragged down, but Ace stabbed the ground to stop.
Ace stabbed the ground and stopped moving down.
Lao came up from in front of him and jabbed him in the face, but as soon as that happened, Ace moved back and grabbed the stick. Ace threw Lao to the left and let himself come out of the ground. Lao got up panting.
"This is annoying...", he said,"Ace, back down now!"
"You're kidding, right?", Ace asked with a grin.
"Fine, one attack", he replied. He dropped the stick and held both arms out.
"Fine", Ace said, doing the same.
"Earth Dragon!", Lao yelled as a giant dragon made of earth shot forth.
"Fire Dragon!", Ace yelled and an identical dragon except of fire shot forth. The two met, but then Ace yelled,"Inferno!" The dragons both burst into flame and exploded. Then an even bigger dragon shot forth made of fire. "Inferno Dragon!" The dragon crashed into Lao, but he still stood with a wall of stone up.
"You're strong", Lao said, panting.
"Same to you", Ace said, panting as well.
"I give up", he said. Everyone gasped, including Ace.
"But you clearly have enough energy to go on!", Ace yelled.
"Yes, but you defeated my best attack", Lao replied,"There is no point."
Lao came up from in front of him and jabbed him in the face, but as soon as that happened, Ace moved back and grabbed the stick. Ace threw Lao to the left and let himself come out of the ground. Lao got up panting.
"This is annoying...", he said. Ace grined at that. He dropped the stick and held both arms out. Ace did the same.
"Earth Dragon!", Lao yelled as a giant dragon made of earth shot forth.
"Fire Dragon!", Ace yelled and an identical dragon except of fire shot forth. The two met, but then Ace yelled,"Inferno!" The dragons both burst into flame and exploded. Then an even bigger dragon shot forth made of fire. "Inferno Dragon!" The dragon crashed into Lao, but he still stood with a wall of stone up.
"You're strong", Lao said.
"Same to you", Ace said,"Gonna give up again? This is how our battle to see who would become the next leader went."
"Yes, but this time you didnt defeat my best attack", Lao said with a grin. He held out his hands again and called forth his energy. "This new attack will most likely kill me, but it is worth it to let our Elemental Regime go on! Earth Sacrifice!" Lao's entire body shined and a giant green blast came at Ace. He pointed his keyblade at the blast.
"Inferno!", Ace yelled as a blast of fire came out,"Flame Trail!" The blast grew bigger and met the green blast head on. It exploded in the middle.
"Thats it", Lao said,"You stopped my best again. Go ahead." Lao sank to the ground, but was still alive, just knocked out. Ace sighed again.
"How many more before they realize they have no chance?", he asked himself as he went foward up the stairs.
---
"Sir!", a man with blond hair called out,"Lao has been defeated as well! We cant stop him!" Asukara sighed.
"We have to!", he yelled,"The machine is almost ready! Touya still stands in the way of fire!"
"So?", the man asked,"How is that gonna help?"
"I have given him permission to use his...special attack", Asukara said with a grin.
"You mean...", the man asked, surprised.
"Yes", Asukara replied,"If he survives that, he will at least be weakened." The man nodded. "Get the tank to the fire floor. We will stop him there." The man bowed.
"Yessir!", he yelled as he ran out the door.
"My old friend...Do you still have what it takes to beat Touya?", Asukara asked with a slight grin.
