 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!"

 Kenji knew something odd happened when he noticed the absence of Cheau's leg against his own. Pulling back his katana as a reflex, he focused back to his right, where the dog should have been. As his head reared in the direction, he caught a glimpse of something above him. Without further need of distinction, he quickly recognized this as this opponent. Seeing him above him meant he must be aiming for his outstretched leg, or even worse, his head.

Kenji realized the danger he was in currently and quickly shuffled backwards, a move that caused his stomach to cry in pain. Immediately after he was out of range, Kenji did his best to ignore the pain and timed a shoulder plow straight for Cheau as he landed down on the ground, moving with strong momentum and speed. He buried his head under his leading right arm in case Cheau made any move for his head.

 He just could catch this guy...

... And considering the kid had a few fatally-huge holes in his gut, Cheau just couldn't figure out why. There was "mind over matter," yes, but now this was just taking matter and burning it in a bonfire- then dancing around it. Cheau let out a very audible groan as Kenji dodged his landing and kick, something that must have sounded much like a lion that had just missed it's hundredth kill on account of a single pebble tripping him up. Now the hellhound was beyond annoyed. Now he seethed and sneered in homicidal way.

He landed and, as planned, used his primed leg to spring backwards as Kenji started his charge, but he didn't go far- just a foot or so "that-a-away" to get his bearings. And, what a view he gathered; Kenji was charging along and, head buried in his arm, not at all looking where he was going. Cheau hopped to the right and around his plow maneuver and, once in position, arced Fenrir around, aiming the blades right back into the cat's stomach. Even if, running blind, Kenji managed to stop in enough time to not run himself onto the blades, he'd have a hard time dodging the swipe in general, if at all.

 Kenji didn't realized what he did was a grave mistake. He had buried his head to keep Cheau from hitting him there, allowing victory, but at the same time it was futile. Kenji watched in horror as "that damn blade" he would later refer to it as was harshly inserted back into his gaping hole in his stomach. He stopped dead in his tracks, almost using Cheau's arm as balance as he coughed up blood, more then the amount he had the first time, onto Cheau's arm.

"God.... f-f***ing.... d-dammit.... The p-pain....." Kenji's face turned from an expressionless defeated look to one of anger. He knew this may be his last moments. "I cant die! Not now! Arhh! If I'm going down, I'm taking someone with me, and that someone is Cheau!" After what felt like ages - In reality it was about a couple moments - Kenji suddenly looked up and took a firm grip on a part of Cheau's upper arm not covered in his blood. He lowered his Katana to the base of his cut and pulled Cheau straight into it, aiming his sword for his stomach, parallel to Kenji's injury as he screamed, "KAMIKAZE!"

 [O3O Okay, there is no way a four-foot tall kid is one-handedly holding a six-foot-long two-handed sword horizontally with enough space between the two to do this.]

Ew blood, Cheau thought (sarcastically, of course) with a grin. Finally, he'd landed another good hit on the kid. He was still two points away, but the blood the cat suddenly coughed up pretty-much sealed the deal. It said "Okay, he's done," in that odd way blood from the mouth always signaled imminent and quickly-approaching death...

... And yet, this kid was still fighting!

It was infuriating. Kenji grabbed his arm, rage overtaking every other emotion that should have materialized on his face. The intent to win still burned in his eyes: it was all nauseatingly noble. This must have been why the samurai died out centuries ago... Cheau scoffed as the kid raised his sword- a flimsy, cumbersome, ungraceful action that was just as painful to watch as it would have been to recieve its outcome. Cheau wasn't about to let that happen, even if it could have. He ripped his hand out of his young adversary's gut (and subsequently, his arm out of Kenji's grasp), and in one fluid motion, reversed it's direction and arced upwards, throwing a bladed uppercut with Fenrir right at the bottom of the kitten's chin.

"Go down!"

 Kenji realized a major problem as soon as he grabbed Cheau's arm: he didn;t have his Katana out as he thought he did. When his arm raised, he could see the sword's tip got past the dog. Before he could redirect his sword and before he could shout his signature battle cry, He felt the claw-like gauntlets slip out of him, raking the sides of his cut causing more pain Kenji had to resist. He was taught from an early age that ignoring pain is your best advantage against the enemy.

Kenji did his best to apply this after Cheau had pulled away from him, forcing his grip on his arm to slip and kicking the adrenalin back into his head. Now pumped, he watched Cheau begin to redirect his hand, now bringing it back towards him in an uppercut fashion. Kenji leaned back, lifting his chin away from the dangerous glove as he somersaulted into a back flip, sending a kick of his own at Cheau's chin. Although this move would be nearly imposable to miss, this ripped Kenji's cut open even more. Now one can stick it's fist a whole 2 inches into the cut without touching the sides. Discussing for just about everyone, Kenji was teaming on the edge of exhaustion, being fueled by his wound and the hits he received before the cut. They where all accumulating, it was all just a matter of time until Kenji would wear out and succumb to his wounds and die.

 The missed uppercut put Cheau's arm in the perfect position the block Kenji's kick. He supported the block with his other arm, so that the cat's foot smacked against the bracers connected to his guantlets. Still, the impact caused the dog to fall back a step, onto one leg. Again, however, he took the energy transferred downward and pushed forward. He was tired of this cat; he took all the fun out of hurting people...

So when Kenji flipped in the air, upside down and back to his irked enemy, Cheau would already be throwing another front kick out. And when Kenji's body finally reoriented to land on his feet, Cheau's foot would be a hair's breath from, and closing in on, where the cat's face should be. Kenji wouldn't have landed yet, would just be able to glimpse the hellhound again, so his options for dodging wouldn't be all that great.

 Kenji's foot met with Cheau's arm brace emitting a loud CLANG on impact. With this, it stopped all momentum of his kick and, now that he let his other foot go, he flopped onto the ground. Luckily Kenji got up to a knelling positions when Cheau came at him with a punch. Getting his Nodachi ready, he thrusted his forearm up to send the punch up with it, effectively blocking. As this happened, Kenji also aimed a fast, deep incision for Cheau's now highly exposed stomach.

 [Cheau wasn't punching in the last post.]

As said, Cheau had planned to kick out as Kenji flipped around, but since the cat fell out of his own move at the original block, Cheau decided that a plan to kick at what would obviously be thin air would do him no good. Instead, he jumped back- and luckily, too: Kenji's nodachi came shooting towards him. It was like the kid didn't need blood or muscle to function...

... And this, coming from a creature of Hell. Cheau twisted to the side, barely missing a horrid meeting with the edge of Kenji's sword, and brought his hands down on the blade; he grabbed it in both gauntlets as it passed by. Even if he tried, Kenji wouldn't have been able to pull all four-and-a-half feet of sword back the way it'd come in time to evade the dog's grasp.

With the most dangerous part of Kenji's repetoire- besides his unusually high blood volume- in check, Cheau raised a leg and again kicked out at the kneeling cat's face. After a forward thrust like he'd pulled, the cat would first have to both shift his weight and momentum backwards to even hope of getting out of dodge, and considering their close proximity as it were, this would be an extremely difficult thing to do- even with one's muscles in tact.

Silv's Score: Grammar and spelling are fine. I liked the fact that despite the fact that you seemed quite outmatched for most if not all of the battle, you did your best to continue fighting to an acceptable standard and didn't just lie down and die. Your side of the match was very entertaining and realistic, until maybe the end of the match, though I could chalk that up to an adrenaline rush and being on your last legs. You did well in using the environment to some sort of advantage.


Lil Avii's Score: Spelling and grammar and fine. However, I wasn't nearly as entertained by your complete beatdown of Silv's character as I was with his attempts to continue despite it. Maybe it was just your character, but I was more interested in reading Silv's posts than yours. I did like the parts in the middle when you two seemed evenly matched, and your character's powers were a factor in my interest. You did well in using the environment to your advantage, I was impressed.

In Short: Both of you did well in different ways. Avii did get the most hits and almost killed Silv's character, but I was more entertained by Silv, so I'm giving him my point.

POINT: 1 for Silv.
i'm actually really sorry bout this

I still can't use this.

 Kenji: A few grammar and spelling mistakes, but overall fine. Your use of the environment was more creative than Cheau's who seemed more relegated to straight CQC. However, expressing no significant change in fighting ability after receiving dually-understood life-threatening injuries was borderline god-modding, making the battle a bit of a chore to read.

Cheau: A few grammar and spelling mistakes, but overall fine. Your CQC and set-ups were impressive, and you seemed to take advantage of your entire repertoire in creative ways. But as aforementioned, you lacked as good a use of the entire arena as Kenji, meaning you were a bit less aggressive than I would've liked to have seen.

1 point to Cheau
