The sun arose the next morning over a whitened landscape. The cafeteria had prepared a light breakfast for those who wished to eat before their fight, and bonfire pits had been dug at intervals into the ground. The snowstorm had largely blown itself out; only a slight flurry floated gently downward from the sky. The door to the arena battlegrounds stood closed, and Auriel stood silently in front of them, his gauntleted hands clasped behind his waist. When all were gathered, he spoke, "There be one o' ye who'll be th' Champion this time 'round. Many o' ye'll fight fer it, but only one'll claim it. Oi pose these questions t' ye: Who then 'as th' right t' call us victor? O' who'll th' poets adore in prose an' song when th' dust 'as settled? 'Tis naught but th' roaring crowd, th' audience who takes note; th' final opinion that crowns heroes an' makes tyrants rot in cold dungeons. D' ye 'ear 'em? D' ye 'ear their clamour?" Auriel raised a hand above him; at this signal, choreographed fireworks soared up from the castle turret in the middle of the battleground, and split the air with thunder and noise. The audience in the nearby distance roared their approval. Auriel let his arm fall to his side, and glanced up and down the group of assembled warriors. "Go, an' win glory fer yerself, yer family, country, or whomever. Yer destiny awaits." The doors behind him opened to reveal a stone passageway, held up by reinforced wood buttresses and lit by brass lanterns. Inside the hallway were doors, next to which heralds were standing, calling out names. "You there! Are you Kenji Bushido? Oh, I should hope so.... And you, you must be Cheau Boucher? Yes, please come here. Come on then, let's get you two in your places." The herald promptly leads you to the arena, the snow crunching under his paws. There as a layer of snow about four inches thick, covering what appeared to be a layer of peat and gravel. Wooden logs were posted up from the ground, seemingly at random and offering a modicum of cover. To counter the heat, eight large iron braziers on metal legs were set against the perimeter of the arena, blazing hot from the fires that had been burning in them since early morning. The snow under them had already melted, turning the peat into a thick, muddy bog several feet out from the braziers. "When I say, you'll head to the opposite sides of the arena, you two. Next to the fenceposts, we've got them marked. You, stand there, and you over there. Now then, you've understood that you've ten blows on your opponent to win. Torso (that includes the shoulders, mind) and thighs count as one strike, the head, two. Only seven points to be counted by ranged. If you've a mind to surrender, shout your intentions, that the judges, your opponent, and myself can hear them. Do you two understand?" After hearing the replies, the herald nodded, and turned to the arena audience. "My Lords, My Ladies, welcome to the first round of the Fourth SB Tournament! Announcing their debut match, I give you Kenji Bushido and Cheau Boucher!" The audience erupted in applause and cheering, and the fanfare blared their salutation. Bowing, the herald turned to the combatants. "Head to your starting positions, salute your opponent, then begin!" Edited by Talancir D'Landior, Feb 12 2011, 07:54 PM.

Kenji nodded at the herald's orders, and bounded over to his side. When he got into the arena, Kenji realized the ground was very muddy and soggy from the blazing heat that melted the snow. This brought annoyance to Kenji. "Uhhh, Now what the--!" Kenji's feet where now soaked in this mud when he stepped out into the arena. Why the **** is it so hot in here!? This he didn't expect and it took him aback for a moment, but he remembered that the Round was to begin now. Kenji unsheathed his katana, placing it in his other palm in front of him as he lowered his body down in the form of a bow. After Cheau Boucher made notification of a salute, he sprinted up to the nearest log in front of him and climbed up it. Once up there, He quickly cleaned his feet off, then returned his attention to Cheau. "You ready, dog! I sure hope so, I dont like to wait!" |

Cheau followed the herald down the stone hall and out into the arena, sizing up his opponent along the way. Young, male, feline, two swords, no armor, barely any clothes... yup. The dog sighed, rolled his eyes, and tightened Fenrir around his wrist, listening to the metal plating clink as he rolled his fingers about. His first match and he was up against a little kid... Of course, he did love making little kids cry. "Right, right," Shuck chuckled to the herald, his tone smooth and thoughtful. He ambled to his corner of the arena, eying the braziers and sloshing through the warm, sticky mud, then turned to face Kenji. He grinned and nodded in salutation, and the match started. Kenji darted forward, unsheathing his sword, and shot up atop one of the smaller logs. He was shouting something or another, but Cheau just raised both hands and shrugged. "Hey, no one told you to climb up there. If you're so impatient, come at me, kiddo. Do I look like the climbing type?" |

Kenji smiled. Although he wasn't one to trash talk before a battle, it sure looked like Cheau was begging for it. "Oh wait, I'm sorry...." Kenji turned to the crowd, an idea in his head. He had only seen this in the few movies he'd watched, but it was worth a try. "Do I hear a coward, may I ask?!" Kenji rallied the crowd to his side as he turned back to Cheau. "Look, I'm not moving, I can wait here all day! So If you're not too lazy, you can start this fight! What do'ya say, huh?!" |

"Oy vey," Cheau sighed, collapsing forward and shaking his head. "Well fine, if you want to be that way-" The dog's form blackened and disintegrated, expanding into a dark cloud, well contrasted against the snow and mud. As suddenly as it had appeared, the spectre shot across the arena, making a bee-line for Kenji's pillar and, upon reaching its base, proceeded to race up the side. It was a direct charge: almost. Cheau kept his eyes on the business end of Kenji's idle showboating- that katana. He seemed ready to meet the cat and his oversized butterknife at the top, but was already priming for his first maneever- if Kenji made to attack him from above, he had a counter already set up... |

Kenji watched the figure of the dog darken unnaturally and disappear. This set Kenji off, suddenly intimidated by the show, but he never let it show. The black mist from which the dog disappeared into suddenly shot for the log, moving fast as it shot up the wooden pole he was on. The smirk dropped from Kenji's face ominously, as if Kenji knew he was done for. "Oh shi-!" Kenji pounced off the log as soon as the dark figure disappeared at the bottom of the pole. Unfortunately because he was in such a rush and slightly terrified, he missed the log he aimed to land on and slipped of the left edge. He frantically dug his claws into the wood in fear of falling into the mud. When he secured a grip on the log, he launched off to the top and landed, this time seemingly perfectly. One thing that did upset him was the diameter of the log; only 2 meters. Dammit! How am I gonna get him if he can just do that!? He turned back to Cheau with this thought in mind. |

Now who's the coward? Cheau chuckled to himself, abandoning his previous plan and reaching the top of the pillar. He solidified out of cloud upon scaling the log, just as Kenji jumped off in a panic... ... And proceeded to miss his own landing. But Cheau followed him, pushing off of the edge of his current pedestal and clearing the distance to the next- the one Kenji had just barely managed to catch the side of: perfect. The cat was probably far to distracted in trying to correct his own mistake; he probably didn't notice Cheau follow him across the logs, so when Kenji finally launched back up to the top of the column, the dog was waiting for him with a grin on his face and a roundhouse to his head. |

Sudden fear shot through Kenji as Cheau appeared behind him. Kenji let out a shout of shock as he reflexes took hold. He jumped, frightened, but before he could do anything else, the dog had sent a round kick his way. This, because of his jump, had struck hard on Kenji's lower shoulder/high forearm, sending him flying. In mid air he attempted to fix his posture so he wouldn't injure himself further more from the fall. This was met with some success, but the mud had sent Kenji sliding for a couple more feet until he was abruptly stopped by the thick wall. Luckily he wasn't moving too fast to be hurt from the impact. Now Kenji had it. "Pull it together, you idiot!" He thought to himself. "Alright, he got control, i cant let him hold it for long!" He took a running start, Unsheathing his Nodachi now, as he launched himself at the nearest log. From there he rapidly shot himself from pole to pole until he reached the log Cheau was at. He dug in his strong claws into the edge of the top of the log, now standing horizontally as he thrusted with his katana at Cheau's tworso and swung at Cheau's legs left to right with his Nodachi deftly. |

Bam: one hit down, nine more to go. Kenji disappeared below the log, and Cheau stepped to its edge, tail wagging, just to watch him tumble away. But all too quickly, Kenji was on his feet, racing up the logs and swiftly maneuvering across the arena. Cats... Cheau kept his eyes trained on the feline, raising both hands and readying to dodge. The kid was going to try to meet him topside, no doubt, but Shuck had no intention of staying within range of those blades- especially now that kenji somehow had both out. He'd jump away at the last minute and- Oop! No, Kenji stopped short, didn't advance to Cheau's column, instead reaching out from its neighbor with both swords swinging. The hellhound had less time to react than he'd planned, no longer able to jump away, now having to twist out of the way on a heel. The katana passed in front of him harmlessly, but Kenji's nodachi cut across the leg he'd pivoted on, causing him to jump back onto his other foot with a yelp. He snarled, one arm lashing out. He intended to sink Fenrir's claws into Kenji's arm, the one that had thrust forward with the katana. It would be easy, in theory: the cat would still be riding on the momentum of both swords' swings, and stretched out across the arena by only his claws, there wouldn't be much leverage to retract his body. He'd be caught, strung out over the snow and mud a few meters in the air. In theory. |

With a successful nick on the dog, Kenji, from years of training, expected nothing less then a counterattack. His karate sensei taught him usually, after any contact resulting in injury, may it be a scratch or an amputation, always expect your enemy to be ruthless and plan ahead for most warriors with common sense counterattack, ignoring the pain. Kenji had already loosen his grip on the log, dropping down it just enough to stay out of reach of Cheau's claw, but only by inches. Very soon after the claw had passed and became of no threat to Kenji, He launched himself at Cheau. Now that he was closer, Kenji aimed for a headbutt towards the dog's midsection, attempting to knock Cheau off the log. |

"Ohgoddamnit-" Cheau snapped as his gauntlet agonizing passed just over Kenji's arm. This guy was quick, but the same battle logic running around in his opponent's head from years in a dojo, Cheau has also reasoned from years brawling in the streets. Nobody took a breather- ever, and neither did this hellhound. As Fenrir slipped above Kenji's head, Chaus halted his swipe, and as the cat leapt up, headfirst no less, Cheau brought the cestus back the way it had come, making to backhand his enemy right across his rapidly-approaching face.

Kenji Needed a strike on this guy, but he needed something to hamper his opponent's ability to fight. As Cheau back-handed smacked him, the momentum of his initial lunge sent him crashing into Cheau. Even with the agonizing pain in his cheek and another two strikes added to his opponent's count, Kenji refused to give him any time to react. As the two fell to the ground, Kenji locked his arms around the dog's back and angled his body downwards, putting Cheau into a downward, head-first piledriver. |

"Hey- hey- hey!!" Well-p: this wasn't supposed to happen. Not the part where Kenji slammed into him, or the part where they both careened off the column, or the part where he ended up on the bottom of their little downward tumble. As the cat latched onto him and gravity decided that neither was allowed to float in mid-air, Cheau barked and tried to break free then and there. He kicked out, his now-bloody foot caught on Kenji's pant leg, the individual claws ripping through fabric as the hellhound's fire-hot blood dripped out. With any luck, it'd hit the cat and start burning. He could still hear sap popping where some of his blood had dripped onto the log... But that wasn't his intent. he meant to punch Kenji in the side of his head, and at least tried, but that was just before the Earth finished playing catch up and slammed into him with a very sick crunch and very loud yelp... And then Cheau saw stars for a while. |

Kenji yelled at the pain caused by Cheau's leg digging into his, but the impact had soon saved him from any further pain. As the dog's body dropped limp, Kenji seized the opportunity. Still a bit shaken from the dislodging punch from the dog, Kenji went from laying on top of him to a full-mount. Sitting on top Cheau's chest, he aimed 2 strong strikes to his head with the hilts of his swords, one after the other. |

Cheau was laid out in the mud and snow, which had, luckily, broken his fall enough to prevent any major damage, but even in a half-conscious state of mind, he knew that things would eventually go sour. ... If only he could convince his brain to put the tournament back at the top of its list of priorities! The hellhound groaned and rocked his head, vision returning just in time to see the raised swords. Damn. It took only one hard smack on his cheek to get him to snap out of it, one hit before his brain jumped back online, and the dog exploded into another cloud of smoke. The miasma surged out from where the dog's body had been, enveloping Kenji and blotting out all light in the immediate area. A sudden gust signalled that Cheau was gone from under him- the hilt would have just smashed into the ground, if even that could be seen. Cheau circled the feline, the smokecreen growing larger until a good portion of the field was caught in the billowing void, and then changed direction, heading for Kenji and solidifying at the last second. He swung Dip around to punch Kenji in the back of his head. [Edited for spelling \o/] Edited by Lil Avii, Feb 13 2011, 12:22 AM.
