Battle Nexus
Chapter 2: The Tournament
"Whu-where am I?" a dazed Sora mumbled as he looked bleary eyed at his surroundings. At first all he saw was a gray smear, but as his vision cleared he noticed that he was in a gigantic round white room with computer screens scattered across the walls all with black screens and code running down them in a style truly like the Matrix. Sora also noticed that there were several disc like objects giving off an eerie blue glow all over the edges of the room. Though once Sora could see clearly he wasn't looking at any of these features, he was looking at the many people assembled in room.
It seemed that many others were as disoriented as he was, spluttering out the same three words Sora had, and wandering around aimlessly. Of these people he saw a short pudgy man in blue overalls with a thick black mustache wearing a red hat. A figure in a green metal suit-though he seemed completely composed, it was kind of creepy. A blond boy wearing an orange jumpsuit and a blue headband with odd whisker marks on his cheeks. A woman in an orange suit much like the man's but it was bright orange and she held a red helmet in her hands. Sora didn't have much time to check his surroundings because all the screens suddenly stopped showing code and lit up with one face.
As the face blared into sight the man in the picture seemed to come out of nowhere and stepped onto a high platform in the middle of the room. This man was wearing shiny black armor with red trim, and three spikes on his right shoulder. The face that glared down upon them had long, straight, black hair that hung past his neck, parted in the middle of his forehead. Bright orange eyes with dark circles around them that seemed to be haunted were beneath his bangs. A shiny red ruby pendant hung around his neck which seemed to have a sinister aura about it. He spoke in a deep, carrying voice as he announced, "I Nazo welcome you warriors…to the Battle Nexus!"
"In this tournament you will be set on teams and compete against each other for the right to survive, the title of the Ultimate Warrior, and the power of the Chaos Emeralds!", at that point the seven shining jewels appeared behind him and floated briefly before disappearing.
"Anyone who does not wish to compete will be executed at this time. Does anyone not wish to compete?", when no one said anything he gave an empty smirk, "I thought not. I will now tell you all the simple rules of this tournament. Your team will receive points when you complete missions or defeat enemies, though if you're defeated in battle but manage to survive points will be taken from your team. Each team will have its own quarters. Anyone who attempts to escape or sabotage enemies while here at the station will be executed. Now without further delay I show you…the Nexus Gate!", at that moment a huge arch rose out of the ground through which all that could be seen was the other side.
"Although it may not seem like it, if you are on a mission as soon as you step through the archway you will be teleported to wherever you need to go. Speaking of teleporting, those telepads will bring you to your quarters.", he gestured at the disks giving of the blue light.
"Tomorrow starts the first day of the tournament, so the last thing I'll do before I let you retire to your quarters is break you into your four man squads. The teams are: Mario,……." As he listed the names of the members of the teams they each went up to Nazo and were dismissed. Finally, he reached Sora's team and said, "Sora, Link, Sonic the Hedgehog, and…
HAHAHA!!!Cliffhanger! who will be Sora's last teammate? Who knows? I knows!! heheh, so what did ya think? please review!
