>>*Look up into the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Solstice's ship spiraling downward! As expected, Solstice crashes his ship right outside the colosseum. He staggers his way out of the ship with very little difficulty, used to the crash landings at this point.*

"Well, y'know what they say. Any landing you can walk away from, is a good landing."
Helen
*Outside the Colosseum was pretty empty, no one was there and it was just a huge, open space. Nothing was really there, though dark clouds loomed over the actual arena of the colosseum.*
Carlton
"What's this world anyway? Some sort of gladiator world or something?"

*Solstice was a bit weary of this place, especially with the dark clouds looming over that area. But he couldn't help but be curious in all of this, normally he'd rather be home, but this "Other worlds" Business was just too much to keep away from. He took his staff out of its case, and held it over his shoulder with one hand as he made his way to the arena.*

"Let's hope this doesn't go south."
Helen
*Solstice would enter the lobby of the colosseum, which would be... Surprisingly empty. However the entrance to the arena in the colosseum would be wide open, an ominous darkness coming from it.*
Melvin
"Wow, look at this place!", is all that would suddenly be heard shouted out. If Solstalami and cheese were to look back, he would see a snow cone in Chinese clothing. They had weapons by there side, ready to be grabbed at any moment if a battle were to occur. The stranger would say, "Why hello there, you curious about this place too?"
Carlton
"Well if that wasn't the most obviously evil shit I've ever seen in my life... Well I've already come this far, so why not."

*Solstice walked into the arena without fear, looking around himself for any incoming danger.*

"Seriously, what the fuck is this shit? Last time I checked, I don't live in a horror movie."
Manuel
*As the 2 entered, they would see the arena was very dark, the clouds circling over head. As the 2 looked around, the sky would suddenly get symbols and fire down a beam of light, it hitting the other side of the arena and forming a bubbleof light. The bubble would soon clear to reveal a man who had...*One wing.* They would stand and turn, drawing their *VERY* Long sword.*

*Oh and his boss music begins to play as a barrier would appear around the arena, trapping all of you in.*
Carlton
*Who was this man? How did he just teleport here? And WHERE was that music coming from?(twas catchy) whatever the case, Solstice could tell he and Ryu were in some danger. He could also tell when a scrap was about to start, so he summoned his weapon prematurely. Still, he wished to try and strike up a conversation.*

"Hey edgelord, who the hell are you?"
Melvin
After entering the place and seeing a giant light, Ryu knew shit was about to go down. A man who seemed to possess a lot of strength dropped from above, revealing themselves in fancy fashion. Ryu would look to the other person he was with, saying, "Edge lord? That the best you got? Why not try something like..", he would then look back at the guy, saying, "Hey there, darkened light guy, how are you doing this fine day? Say, is this place yours? It looks great."
Manuel
"No... I'm here for someone else... But they don't seem to be here..." *He would point his sword at the 2* "Tell me, where is Cloud... I wouldn't be here if he wasn't."
Carlton
>>*When ryu said "Why not try something like", Solstice was expecting an actual burn or insult. But what he said was rather... Pathetic. Completely ignoring Sephiroth's words, Solstice felt compelled to teach Ryu how it's done.*

"Seriously, is that the best YOU got? I can do better, like..."

*He noticed Sephiroth's oddly cut open shirt, and thought of something.*

" So what are you supposed to be? A goth stripper?"
Melvin
Ryu would hear the question the guy asked, and simply glanced at Solstice. He would raise an eyebrow, saying, "You know anybody named cloud?", he would then look back at the stranger, saying, "Sorry pale, but I don't know anybody by that name. This guy next to me might, but that ain't a guarantee. We both met like 5 minutes ago.", he would then shrug his shoulders.
Manuel
"If you don't know where he is, then you're both useless to me." *He completely ignored Soltice's dumb insult.* "So are you just going to stand in my way or will you move? I have better things to do than talk to weaklings."
Carlton
*He rolled his eyes, Solstice guesses he can up his insult game later. He also takes into account the barrier which formed around him, and tapped the side of it with his lance. It was pretty sturdy, and was safe to assume they couldn't leaved as it stands.*

"Sorry pal, but it looks like none of us can really leave. But this barrier didn't come up until after you showed up, so does this have something to do with you?"

*Sure Solstice was really immature sometimes, but that certainly didn't make him stupid.*
Melvin
Ryu would hear his words, and he would then say with a hand on his hip, "Woah there pale, we are not weak... At least not me, can't say the same for this guy.", he would then point at Solstice. He would continue to say, "And second of all uhh, not sure you noticed the giant barrier around us, which is keeping us trapped. So like... Even if he wanted to, we can't leave."
Manuel
*Sephiroth looked around and just sorta sighed.* "So this is an arena of sorts? Then that must mean... I only need to defeat you both to find Cloud... Very well." *He then prepared his blade, his theme song now getting louder.*

***HP: 20000***
Carlton
*Whoever this "Cloud" Guy is, has one dedicated boyfriend that's for sure. After seeing him get his sword ready, and hearing the music suddenly kick up a notch, (seriously, WHERE was that coming from???) Solstice knew that they wouldn't get out of here without a fight.*

"Hey kid, you wouldn't mind helping me take this guy out yeah? He looks like he'll be after both of us soon anyway."

*With a swipe of his lance, Solstice unleashed a wave of flame towards Sephiroth.*

``` Fire: 120

Melvin
Ryu would start to pick at his ears, shouting, "YO! Turn down that fucking speaker! It's too damn loud for fucks sake!", he would then see the other guy attack Sephiroth... Oh boy, seems they are gonna engage in combat.
Manuel
*Sephiroth would just stand as the fire hit him, the fire not hurting him at all it seems as it simply hit him and vanished.*
Carlton
*Looks like pulling his punches wasn't going to work here. It also looked like this stranger didn't know how much danger the two of them were in. Let's hope he realizes it before the clouds-obsessed maniac starts swinging that sword around. Solstice pulls out the power within his heart, activating his second form. Then he goes for another fireball, with a lot more power behind it this time.*

Melvin
Ryu would see that the attack that guy sent didn't work, and Ryu would start to think. He would go on to say, "Hmm, alright then... We gonna fight? May as well join in...", he would then begin to unleash all he had... For the most part. He would already have his weapons out, preparing to take on this stranger. He however also wanted to wait on some sort of action to occur from the stranger before attacking...
Manuel
*Sephiroth simply smirked and held his hand out, seemingly catching the fire in his hand and dispersing it.* "If that's all you have then this is just a waste of time.." *He would then get into a stance before charge forward, seemingly through Solstice, with his sword.* 

***Flash: 1,575***
Carlton
*After finding out fire didn't work(this some bullshit) Solstice un-summoned his weapon and switched to his basic staff. Then he got into his own stance, calling upon the power of phase 2 as he charges forward, passing through Sephiroth at the same time.*

The sound of someone running into the collosseum could be heard from afar, her black and dark grey adventure-like garb suited well for her, as her white hair would sway with each, lunge-like step. 

Her red eyes soon fell upon where everyone was, and she'd summon her Ethereal Blade, `Despair`, now staring at the beautiful One-Winged Angel. She'd stare up at his magnificence, his soft skin- everything about him- was just perfect. 

But nonetheless, fighting him would be an honor. She watched as he charged towards Solstice, and would stare in absolute ecstasy from simply observing. 

***`"Don't wake up, don't wake up... Don't wake me while I'm dreaming."`***

She whispered out, grinning and then raising her blade as if it were a katana in fashion, her eyes pin pointed on the man as she'd then enter `Malice's Lament`, her eyes widening as a tar-like substance covered her body. 

**`"Let's begin."`**

She said, using the opening that Solstice created to then charge towards Sephiroth and then utilizing Slash Frenzy to try and cause some damage. Her eyes would continue to stare at his beautiful face however, seemingly in a trance.

After seeing the two clash together, Ryu would take action himself. He would activate second form, sparking with a great deal of strength. After he was done powering up, he would watch as the kid and the stranger went in to attack again. They both exchanged blows, and while that occurred, Ryu was charging himself up. He was planning to strike at Sepiroth while he was busy engaging against Solstice. In which he proceeded to do so. After the clash between the two in front of him, he immediately charged at Seph, and aimed to slash his weapon at them, all the while ramming into the stranger. Not to mention the lightning surrounding him would probably hurt as well from Ryu simply getting close. Ryu would then proceed back away if this worked out...

*Sephiroth's Flash was clashed with perfectly enough to save Solstice's life and deal a little bit of damage to him. However he was smart to not focus on a single target, noticing Rai's attack and blocking it, taking only a little damage and him have to jump back. What he didn't expect was this random person to come in staring at him like he was someone's daddy and attacking him. He clashed with Benny but was mainly on the defensive. After he smiled and swung his hand out, summoning dark orbs around the 3 challengers and having those orbs quickly close in on them.*

***HP: 13,675

Kelvin
Now clashing with ~~daddy~~ Sephiroth, Benny grinned and then leapt backwards before seeing the dark orbs. She'd stare at them before beginning to run towards Sephiroth once more- but utilizing `Phase 2` and `Time Splicer`, she'd begin to teleport around Sephiroth, avoiding the dark orbs as well as slashing at them, and would begin to slash at the man from different angles at once before eventually landing her feet onto the man's chest and practically using him as a springboard. Now leaping off of him once more, she'd skid across the ground and would see if the orbs have dissipated due to Time Splicer. 

***`"COME ON! IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT!?"`***

>>*With whatever strength he can muster, Solstice fires at balls of flame that dark orbs to counteract them. However his strength just barely leads to half of that, and his orbs close in and explode upon impact killing (really just knocking him out.) on the spot.*

``` Flame Salvo: 441 ```
Melvin
Ryu would see that an attack was heading his way after he had struck hard at the boss. Although he had another idea in his mind, he would right away spark with lightning. After he did, he would dash around the attack that was sent his way, letting it zoom by him with just some tattered clothes. Ryu would see that Solstice had launched attacks, so as a result Ryu decided to dash in as the balls of flame all kept the stranger busy. Ryu intended to slam into Seph with his weapon held out at them, which if it worked out Ryu would then jump away from them, all the while aiming out a hand and unleashing slow magic to try and inflict slowness...

*Sephiroth saw Benny charge him and prepared for it, seeing her disappear and following suit, entering a teleporting clash with Benny using his Octoslash. At the end he would swing to send Benny away from him as Rai came at him. The lightning would seem to be repelled away from Sephiroth, along with the Slow seemingly doing nothing. Though the slam from Rai would push him back a little.* "Looks like he couldn't handle it. Do you think you both can?" *He was referring to Solstice being down.*

***HP: 13,375***
Melvin
Seeing that one of the three were down, Ryu would think, {"Ah crap baskets... Now it's just... Wait, where did that girl come from again?"}, he didn't remember seeing her with them, but shrugged it off. He didn't have time to dwindle, he had to try extra hard here. Ryu would immediately dash in at Seph, before suddenly rolling towards his left side passed Seph. This would cause lightning to strike and explode around Seph. After unleashing all that while rolling, he would gain a few feet of distance. He would then unleash some more Thunder magic at Seph by creating a sort of ball of Thunder, and tossing it his way like a large baseball.

Benny was repelled back, now tumbling across the ground but eventually rolling onto one knee and skidding across the ground in such a position. Smiling and lifting her head up, she'd stare at Sephiroth. She got up, and would ready herself, swigging one of the Elixirs she had on her- and then throwing it away. With her weapon in hand as the malice inside of her grew, screaming at the top of her lungs in joy, Benny then began to run towards Sephiroth, she'd then begin to teleport around once more, this time with much more ferocity. She was utilizing Time Splicer again, but that didn't mean it was the old trick in the book. This time, Benny teleported all around him before teleporting above him and using Asp's Bite to try and strike him down.

*The lightning from Raiyudan barely did anything to him. Although Benny running in and using Time Splicer again would make him prepare to block until she appeared above him and when for the asps bite, landing a clean hit on him but not doing enough to finish him off.* "It'd be best if you gave up now." *With that he would raise his hand up as several pillars of fire would surround him, engulfing anyone close and dealing massive damage.*

***HP: 12,652
Firaga Wall: 840***
Melvin
Ryu uhh... Well, sort of stayed away from Seph this turn. He would see the fire walls around him, and figured getting close to those? Was a no go... So Ryu decided to start thinking. Nothing he was doing seemed affective, although he did have one thing in mind. Taking a stance, he would take a deep breath, and prepared for his idea. He needed an opening for this to really work out, although there was a chance it wouldn't work out at all. He was gonna just yolo this... 
——————
*Attack preparing...*
Kelvin
Benny was close enough to get hit by the pillars of fire, now landing and skidding across the ground as she had burn marks all over her body. Breathing heavily before looking at Sephiroth once more, she smiled and then passed out right then and there. `Despair` had faded away, and she had K.O'
Manuel
*Sephiroth finished the attack and noticed only Rai was left. He smirked and decided to wait.* "I see you are willing to be struck down instead of just giving up. Foolish."
Melvin
"I mean, you literally struck down the other two...", he would say before shrugging his shoulders. He wasn't gonna go down if he wasn't struck hard enough to do so. Ryu would immediately however charge after the guy, and said, "I got one more thing up my sleeve...", he would start to spark with lightning. He acted like he was gonna charge at them, and slam right into Seph... However that was not the case. The moment he got close, he would immediately slash both his weapons at Seph. He was intending to slash from one side, and end up on the other. The Thunder magic around his body was only a way to try and trick them... 
——————————————
Sonic Blade-

Manuel
"And yet you want to share that fate.." *Sephiroth wasn't going to mess around at this point, already wasting enough time as it is. He would go for a charge like he did on Solstice a while back, the single slash doing multiple slices if it landed.*

***Flash: 1155***
Melvin
Ryu would see that Seph was sending many slashes Ryu's way, so rather then just send one, he sent many of his own to clash with Seph. However, it was clear Seph was too strong, and at the final strike, he would end up behind Seph... Only to fall over onto his knee. He would be panting with his back turned to Seph, going on to say, "You forget... We are both stuck here..", before he fell over, out for the count. Ryu was able to cancel out damage here and there, however due to him not exactly being tanky, it didnt really matter in the longrun...
Helen
*Shortly after Rai went down, it would seem like the 3 of them would be ejected from the arena and back into the lobby, being back at full health on the ground. Sephiroth would be no where to be seen.*
Kelvin
Benny had entered the colosseum, looking around before looking at the back of her hands and sighing. Maybe this was just a floosy. But she didn't know. Looking over at Twilight before looking back at the weapons they had in the area and the potential opponent, the girl would stand there with a monotone expression on her face.
Larry
Twilight has entered second into the ring before inhaling deeply before letting her breath out calmly. She held the hilt of her wooden sword on her back before letting the sword go while it remained on her back. Twilight was slightly nervous, but kept a calm posture before standing with a serious look.
Donald
```Round 1```

Once the two entered, the could see the stands packed and cheering for the fights that were about to take place. A familiar darkness would manifest itself as several Flood Unversed took form for them to fight 10 of them to be exact. They all would twitch an look around before looking back at the two, ready to fight.

No. It's just optional

You can use your own
Kelvin
Benny would crouch down and then place the palm of her hand against the ground, looking upwards at the last 7 unversed as she'd aim to cut them all down at strike 1. Now, she'd close her eyes and would breathe out a black coloured, frigid mist. Opening up her red orbs once more, she simply swing her hand upwards and caused large spikes to ice to go raising towards the remaining unversed for her. She stared at her creation, wanting to see if it worked.

Sorry, didn't get the ping for some reason

The Flood wasted no time in their advance. They zoomed as fast as they could towards the duo, splitting off in 2 groups of five. Twilight throwing her keyblade would immediately strike down 3 of the 10 Unversed in a single shot before rounding back to her. The remaining two would go in for a slash attack on Twilight... Which is what they would have done if it wasn't for the ice shards hitting them and the ones that hit them in the back, just about killing them instantly.
Melissa
"We-well that was unexpected! Not that many get through Round 1 so quickly! Now ready for round 2?"
Larry
Twilight smiled before she kept her wooden sword out. 

"Heh! Not bad for a wooden object... But no time to slack, as I have been through tough situations before... And usually they end badly on my end..."


Twilight got ready for Round two and watched the area where Twilight and Benny were carefully.
Kelvin
**`"... Unfortunate..."`**

Benny sighed and whispered to herself, expecting more of a fight. She'd scratch the back of her neck once more, her dark grey skin turning a bit crimson in that area. She heard them once more- the thoughts of malice, her mother's voice. Closing her eyes, she shook her head before opening her red orbs and simply observing the next enemies coming to play.
Donald
```Round 2```

It only take a few more moments for the 2nd round to commence. From more shadowy portals emerged 10 Blue Sea Salts that floated in the air above the duo. 2 of them would take initative and cast Blizzard, one firing a shard of ice at Twilight and the other firing a shot at Benny. 

`Blizzard: 42`
Kelvin
Benny saw the Blue Sea Salts coming in, and would tilt her head, cracking her neck before raising her hand and summoning her Ethereal Blade. She'd then begin to dash towards the incoming shard of ice, before simply raising her hand and causing a wall of ice to come upwards from the ground. She'd widen her eyes as she then skidded off to the side before leaping gracefully and doing a horizontal version of Asp's Bite to try and kill about 8 of the fuckers in a timefull manner.

The Blue Sea Salt that was struck with the wooden sword would fade away from blow, being defeated and leaving 9 of them left. Their Blizzard spells would be stopped and blocked by the two and when Benny vaulted off and attacked the following Unversed it defeated them all in one shot. One remained and it hovered above Benny and began to spin, kicking up a Blizzard Tornado to try and catch and injure Benny with. 

`Blizzard Tornado: 112`
Larry
Twilight noticed the incoming last Blue Sea Salt Unversed try a Blizzard Tornado and gritted her teeth. She then began to channel electricity onto her blade and body before trying to strike the last Unversed in the air with a electrified small jump spin slash to try and save Benny while clashing with the last foe.

"Oh no you dooon't!!"

Benny looked up and saw the incoming blizzard tornado, though soon saw Twilight coming in to save her. She let out a slight tch, but simply utilized dodge roll to get out of the way before getting hurt.

The ice tornado was dodged by Benny, leaving the Blue Sea Salt spinning in the air. It would stop itself and recover, only to be struck by Twilight's bolt of lightning. Surprise! It had a weakness to Lightning and was defeated in a near instant. The crowd was cheering at seeing these newcomers come in and get this far in the games.
Larry
Twilight looked at the crowd before waving back her arms to show her gratitude for the cheers. 

"Thank you, thank you! I got more where that came from!"

```Round 3```
As soon as it ended, the 3rd round would begin! Black spheres manifested in the arena and what came out of them are 10 Shoegazer Unversed. Their giant boots clicked as they hit the ground, ready to fight.
Kelvin
*Annoying.*

Benny thought to herself, now seeing that round 3 began. She'd look over at the boot-like unversed and simply tilted her head, before then rushing towards them, following the blizzard being cast by Twilight. Soon enough, as the blizzard dispersed, Benny jumped into the air and formed Despair, and would then perform Asp's Bite as she aimed to crash the sword into one of the Unversed. She'd then run around the group of enemies, now utilizing Slash Frenzy in order to try and finish them off.

The next round would begin. 2 Tank Topplers emerged from shadowy darkness and ready to fight. Will the two defeat them and pass on to the first boss round?

Andrea
**`"Got it."`**

The Pure Dark simply replied to Twilight's strategy, now summoning `Despair` once more as she'd begin to run towards the tanker on the left. Utilizing her strength, Benny leapt into the air and then went to crash down `Asp's Bite` on the Tank Toppler's head. She'd see if this would do anything, wanting to know if this was actually going to be a challenge.

The Tank Topper that Benny struck was conked on the head. However, it didn't seem too fazed at first and it's body began to swell in size. In response to Benny's attack, it would point it's odd looking arms at the Dark Being and fire a powerful blast of air at her, trying to knock her down and deal some damage. 

The Unversed that Twilight hit would be even less phased by the blow, puffing up in response to the Magic Pulse. It would do a similar action of trying to blast Twilight away and into the walls. 

`Air Blast: 135`
Larry
Twilight of tried her best to endure the Air Blast, but only a few second after trying she then got blasted into the walls. She fell down off the crater that was made and slowly got up. 

"So... If that's... How it is...!"

Twilight ran at the Tank Toppler she targeted before and jumped into the air. She then made the tip of her wooden sword glow with a strange energy orb on the tip as well. Twilight then launched a flurry of energy orbs from her wooden sword as she used Pulse Bomb to damage the Tank Toppler.

"Taaake this!"

The Tank Topper that fought Twilight would be assaulted by the energy orbs and fall backwards. The gear on it's back would be turned from the fall and causing it to deflate back to it's previous size and vanish, being defeated.

The Unversed that was attacking Benny would notice it's attack be evaded completely though not easily. With the ice piercing it's body, the Tank Topler opted to self destruct, aiming to take out Benny with the blast along with itself. 
 
`Self Destruct: 204`
Andrea
Benny breathed out a slight mist and would watch as the Tank Topper would begin to self destruct. Feeling herself get fatigued, she'd hastily grab a hi-potion and would swig it down whilst running away, but would utilize Air Slide to try and evade the explosion. She would get hit by the shockwave, however, and would skid across the ground- escaping with burns and cuts, as well as some bruises.

The last Tank Toppler would self destruct, not taking anyone else with it, but round 4 was now clear! The crowd was going wild now, throwing roses and other items down at the group wanting to see them go on.
Melissa
"Now here is what everyone has been waiting for! The round 5 bosses! Will these two new heroes be able to defeat them and pass on!?"
Larry
Twilight bowed to the crowd before waving back to her supporters. However she then got ready for the boss round by getting her wooden sword ready.

"Alright, we got a single enemy to focus on this round... We need to think of what to do..."

Twilight then took the brief window before drinking a regular Potion that would be her last healing item. She then placed the empty bottle down before she was done prepping.

Benny found it annoying that the crowd was so loud, her ears not yet adjusting to the loudness of it all- though she kept her composure. Standing there and staring at the ground, she waited for the boss to come. Her eyes would eventually reach up and look at whoever her opponent was.
Tyler
"Looks like we're up..." 

Unlike the other entrances, two people would emerge from the opposite doors that Twilight and Benny entered from. The taller of the two was a brown haired man carrying a large gun-like sword across his shoulder.
Herman
"Man, I can *Hear* The enthusiasm in your voice. C'mon! This is both fun and helps us find what we went to Traverse Town for Squall. Should be a good time." 

The smaller of the two was a peppy black haired woman, wearing a large smile on her face before waving to Twilight and Benny.
Larry
Twilight was surprised before smiling. She didn't expect actual human opponents for the halfway point of the ten rounds.

"Hey you two! May the best duo win, alright?"

Twilight called to the duo that entered in, politely wishing them good luck before going in a fighting stance with her wooden sword.
Andrea
Benny stared as the other two entered the arena, now cocking one of her brows up as she'd cross her arms underneath her chest. She simply smiled and would let out a little chuckle, realizing what this was. A fight to the death- or until someone passes out, ey? Well, this would certainly be fun. She eventually opened her eyes once more, and stared at the two.

**`"I see."`**
Tyler
"Hmph..." 

Leon remained mostly silent and, lower the Gunblade down from his shoulder and getting ready to fight the duo.
Herman
The ninja nudged Leon in the side and took out a Shuriken, one nearly as large as her body. 

"Excuse him, he's not that too friendly to new people. Let the best team win!"
Larry
Twilight then began to focus her power before nodding to Yuffie. She then began to whisper to Benny before doing anything.

"Benny, was it? Ill get the ninja personally. Like the last round we can split them both up and try to knock them off the ring of knock them out... Let's go..."

Twilight then dashed forwards at Yuffie before her entire body glowed a slight yellow as a sign of a heavy attack. Using Ragnarok, she attempted to swing her wooden sword at the ninja before jumping backwards slightly and finishing the ability off with a flurry of energy spheres heading straight for Yuffie.

Benny tilted her head and would listen to Twilight speak, nodding to the girl's words as she'd begin to run towards Leon. She had a monotone expression on her face, one that looked as if she were nothing but a blank husk of what she actually was. The darkness in her body would dispel as she'd summon `Despair`, her Ethereal Blade. She'd skid to the left before delivering fast, consecutive strikes towards the gun-weapon-man wielder. Utilizing Slash Frenzy, she was aiming to try and take him out at square one. Though not yet using her Ultimate abilities, as she wanted to see if he could take it. After doing so, she leapt back, creating a distance as she used another hi-potion to try and replenish her stamina.

Twilight saw her attacks being dodged before smiling back. She then tried to use Block and knock the shurikens off the arena but one hits her barely on the right side of her face. Twilight still smiled however before a white outline glowed upon herself. She activated `Phase 2` as a white aura of light flared around Twilight.

"Now I'm pumped up! Lets see who can keep up! Maybe after this ill come visit you sometime!"

Twilight called to Yuffie before her wooden sword glowed with a yellow electricity light before dashing at Yuffie faster than before. The girl then used Thunder Surge to try and slash Yuffie once and hopefully sent her flying.

Twilight kept her eyes on Yuffie and saw the incoming shuriken come at her with great speeds. Twilight however used a Cartwheel to barely escape the attack and used a Potion to restore her AP a little bit. Thinking quickly, she then aimed her sword before oddly running at Yuffie and when the navy blue haired girl got close enough without entering melee range before Twilight fired a Pulse Bomb flurry at the ninja girl from a closer range.

Tyler
Leon brought his Gunblade down on Benny, knocking her out with one blow. The swordsmen let out a sigh and spun his blade, resting it on his shoulder and looking at Yuffie and Twilight fight. He debated on jumping in but waited to see how it goes for now.
Larry
Twilight then saw the shuriken come at her and was nearly out of energy to continue. With little room for recovering any sort of energy with a Potion or Hi-Potion, Twilight would run at the shuriken oddly enough before giving the crowd watching her one last surprise. She clashed with the shuriken with her wooden blade as hard as her remaining strength would let her with her hair flying backwards due to the wind it produced a bit. Ultimately however, Twilight used every ounce of strength she had before being flung back heavily from the clash and was send out of the ring by 10 feet. She heavily breathed from exhaustion, but slowly lifted her left arm up and gave the crowd a thumbs up.

"Thank you... Everyone...!"
She said to the crowd before her arm fell back on the ground slowly. Twilight wasn't able to fight anymore like Benny.
Melissa
"Well looks like you have it! These new strangers made their way all the way to Round 4! Let's hear it for Twilight and Benny!" 

Phil announced and the crowd went wild for the mysterious duo. The short Satyr made his way up to the arena to go talk to Twilight. 

"Ya did good kid. Didn't think you'd get past those Tank Topplers, they usually explode and no one ever finds the weakness to stop them, but feel free to come back anytime and try again."
Herman
Yuffie and Leon walked over to Twilight with the ninja going to help Twilight stand up if she could. 

"Yeah! Next time it might not be us, but we're usually around in Traverse Town if we do ever see each other again!"
Larry
Twilight would of gotten some help standing back up. She smiled with satisfaction and nodded to Yuffie.

"Yeah... You two are tough people to bring down... But I had fun regardless of the loss...! Thanks for the match you two... I won't ever forget!"

Twilight said before her wooden sword, all battered and scratched, suddenly glowed before it shifted into a new weapon out of nowhere in a slight bring light.
Melissa
"Yeah, the lineup changes everytime someone knew shows up. Gotta keep things interesting each go around, you know." 

Phil added and had some of the medical team pick up Benny and take her so she could be treated also to make way for the next potential arena match.
Tyler
The new weapon in Twilight's hand made Leon blink, not expecting that of all things to happen. 

"That's... A Keyblade... I didn't think we'd find a wielder of it here..."
Herman
"See! I told you if we go where most people gather than we'd likely find it easier. And here you were, only wanting to skulk around Traverse Town Squall." 

Yuffie would reply to him with a cocky shrug and smile on her face.
Larry
Twilight looked at her Keyblade with confusion, but after Leon mentioned the name she understood what it was name wise.

"Huh... Well... Guess we all learn something different today huh...? I can feel some sort of... Magical feel to it..."

Twilight spoke to herself before looking back at Leon and Yuffie.

"Well... If we do meet again, being here or Traverse Town, guess I got some more work to do in terms of sword fighting! See you two next time!"

With that, Twilight walked away with a wave to them while holding her Keyblade as she exited the arena with new found potential to work on.
Erika
After his "Return" Xerx obviously needed to get back to his training as he had slacked off, but thank to his searches he had heard of this place known as the colosseum which is where he eventually ended up. How hard would these fights be? He didn't know, but he also didn't know the rules or where to sign up, but regardless he saw this as his best opportunity to train himself.

*Cough* Yes a repost lmao*Cough*
Larry
Twilight would eventually enter the Colosseum and saw someone else nearby for this. She remembers that teamwork is a necessity for success, and hopes the man nearby would realize that for this upcoming battle.

"I hope that I can go beyond the fifth round this time... I'm much stronger than the last time..."
Melissa
"Well, would ya look at that! Twilight has come back to the arena. Couldn't get enough of me, eh?" 

Phil would say as he walked out in front of the Colossium to meet the both of them. 

"And someone knew joined as well. Guessing you two are going in together for the Games?"
Larry
Twilight nodded. She had gotten decently stronger and this time around she was determined.

"You bet! With a few years of experience under my belt with my strange weapon, I think I can go further than before this time!"

Twilight smiled to Phil before summoning her Keyblade for the battles ahead in the future.
Erika
Now dawning a new cool looking black Coat, Xerx felt a bit motivated aside from the drive to get stronger after slacking off. However, he was surprised to see Phil, but something about the .. "Creature's" "Guy's"? Something about him was instantly amusing, but hearing that he and the female would be teaming up, Twilight was her name? He didn't mind the idea and with it being his first time he could probably use the help and knowledge. 

"Correct, I'm Xerx and I hope to not only get stronger, but to learn as well. Oh, and hope I meet the audiences expectations I suppose." 

He said somewhat brightly with a respectful nod, but wouldn't over sell himself to avoid looking too naive and like a fighting rookie. Though he also knew not to take this place lightly, thus he'd keep his wits about him and avoid making enemies for now.
Melissa
"That's the spirit kid! Who knows if you'll see Leon and Yuffie this go around, but ya made it all the way to Round 5, so I got my money on ya this go around."

Phil would say and then look over at Xerx.

"Well, Xerx. I am Philocetes, but ya can call me Phil. I am a renowned trainer of Heroes, one of our very best here was trained by yours truly. But enough about me, let me explain some of the rules of the Colosseum. There are 10 rounds, with a boss round at 5 and 10. When you win, you move onto the next round. Oh yeah, thanks to Hestia's Blessing. Ya can't die in the arena, but with how strong some of the people here are, you might have wish you did if you got hit by one of them!"
Larry
Twilight nodded to Phil before looking at Xerx.

"Yeah, thats how this place works around here Xerx! My goal for this is time is to surpass Round Five, so we need to figure out some strategy for this."

Twilight informed Xerx about the goal she had and mentioned teamwork being a key part in this colosseum.
Erika
Hearing that this place had something of an emphasis on teamwork, Xerx nodded his head towards twilight's words as he he had been on teams before for combat but admittedly he wasn't the best role/support, however he was good with combat bring a primarily swift and agile fighter with some emphasis on strength and magic with Defense being there, but rarely utilized as why defend something you can dodge? 

"I see, unfortunately I'm not much of a support kind of fighter.. I'm more direct speed blitzer, hope that doesn't hinder us in the long run."

He informed twilight given she'd be his partner and she was the only one between the two who'd have some idea of how things were here and what to potentially expect.
Melissa
"Well, that's one part of bein' a hero. Gotta team up and deal with bigger threats at times and cover others. Oh! Which reminds me, me and some of the higher ups have something in works for the Games later on that'll change things up! Probably won't be out for awhile though."

Phil began to go on before motioning for the two to come inside. 

"Well, without further ado, if ya two are ready. Head on out to the arena."
Larry
Twilight nodded to Xerx about what he said before hearing what Phil said about something new in the works. After that, Twilight would follow Phil into the arena.
Erika
With the the two practically in agreement on being a team for this maybe even afterwards as well they'd remain allies/maybe even friends, but Xerx would be sure to carry his weight to avoid being a liability for them especially with no idea as to what they may be fighting. 

"Ready as I'll ever be, let's have an enjoyable time!" 

He said a bit optimistically as he followed his partner and Phil into the arena.
Donald
As the two entered the arena, the audience would begin to cheer seeing Twilight again. The sound of a gong rung throughout the stage and their first opponents would appear: 10 Flappers that would all dart around the stage, ready to fight.
Larry
Twilight would notice the 10 Flappers and looked at Xerx while running in with her Keyblade in her hands. "This is the easiest one of the rounds!! We just need to split them from ten into two groups of five!!" Twilight called out to Xerx before attempting to attack five Flappers with a Blizzard spell from the tip of her keyblade onto the Unversed. As a follow-up if any Flappers targeting her remained, she slammed her keyblade into the ground as three human-sized orbs of light as Twilight used Explosion as an A.O.E. Move.

Explosion: 28 × (3 + 2.5) = 154

AP: 120% -95%
MP: 120% -105%
Erika
Immediately Xerx's eyes would catch the sight of Twilight's keyblade and immediately, Xerx would summon his own; frolic flames and jump into the fray. With Twilight handling her own group, Xerx closed in on his group with: Applause applause, quickly closing the distance on the heartless and shredding into the first before moving on to the group testing out their durability with normal attacks to save AP and MP. 

AP: 110 -95

Strength: 83

Speed: 149
Donald
The small Unversed began to twitch and dash, aiming to try and go for a slash on Twilight. The ice shards from her Blizzard spell would easily destroy 4 of the Unversed, with one diving underground in the shadow to dodge to avoid it. It came back up *Just* In time for the Explosion to hit it and defeat it as well. 

For the ones attacking Xerx, they would surround him and try to attack at once from all sides. The spinning from his Applause would be more then enough to take all of them out in one swoop and clearing Round 1.
Larry
TS!Twilight would take notice of the 5 Chrono Twisters and saw two of them casting Stop. Twilight tried to dodge the incoming spell by doing a Cartwheel to the right of the Chrono Twister that was casting spell, before she used Thunder Surge to clash with the Chrono Twister attempting to smack her with its body.

Cartwheel: 13 × (1 + 1.5) = 32.5

The first think Xerx caught with the new enemies and something he caught onto last round: these were unversed yet, there didn't seem to be an evil woman in control of them, but maybe she was behind the scenes pulling the strings? It was something he'd have to ask later on as for now the clunky and slow enemy attempted to engage the two. Having never seen "Stop" It was interesting to see the unverse trying to combo magic skills in conjunction in order to overwhelm a target, but with it being round 2 things were still only just getting started. Not even needing to use a speed technique or at least not a fully intended speed technique, Xerx was probably able to dodge the attacks and counter with a fire dash in attempt to blitz the Chrono Twisters and crash into them with a flaming charge before using regular attacks to hopefully deal with any stragglers unless these guys were more bulky than the last, but he'd wager he'd at least take out one in the worse case scenario. 

Speed: 122

AP: 95 -85
Larry
Twilight would of then saw the same two Chrono Twisters that tried to use Stop yet again, as Twilight activated Phase Two and used Cartwheel to try and dodge yet again. After she stopped moving from using Cartwheel, Twilight took aim and tried fire off a Magic Pulse into all three Chrono Twisters that targeted her and Xerx to buy her ally some time to either help out of to escape.

With only three left, victory seemed practically assured, but the three would probably out up a fight and they did to some degree. It was moreso an attempt as twilight's skill was on display as we dodged with little effort and after cartwheeling away, immediately she'd fire off towards the three. With the explosion going off whether all three would be taken out would be soon revealed, but not wanting to take chances, Xerx would cast Aero in an attempt to give himself some level of protection while also dishing out damage.

Aero: 95

MP: 100 -85
Donald
The Pulse Bomb was more than enough to take out the remaining few Chrono Twisters and the Aero protecting Xerx from the majority of the attack, signaling the end of Round 2. The audience started to cheer more at the new people, not many make it this far in the Colosseum.

Round 3 would begin as soon as the second round ended. However, this thing was something far different. It wasn't an Unversed in the slightest having a different feel to them. The numbered in a group of three and moved in an erratic odd manner. 2 of the new monsters would phase into the very shadows on the ground itself to approach the duo. The final one would jump in the air, trying to slash at Xerx from the air in an X shaped frenzy attack. 

`Jump Attack: 133`
Larry
Twilight would look at the new monsters before noticing they can move on the ground but inside of the ground like a shadowy figure. She ran towards the two morphed into the ground and did a Cartwheel to try and get behind them while they were still in a flat shape. Once she got behind the two creatures, She aimed carefully and once they go back to a normal state, Twilight casted Blizzard behind them to try and damage or defeat them.

Cartwheel: 13 x 2 x (1 + 1.5) = 65
Blizzard: 28 x 2 x (3 + 1.5) = 252

Erika
With his aero somewhat still going given round 3 began so abruptly, the first heartless that appeared and attacked at Xerx would be met with the aero before it shortly then dispersed into the air around them. Heartless and unversed here?! Just what kind of arena was this? But before he could really think about it, the blizzard caught his attention with the three heartless now pretty much standing.. Twitching? Next to each other as the blizzard hit, Xerx himself would attempt to slap the three with a horizontal slash from his frolic flame where if successful and assuming the heartless went down, he'd jig over to his partner having seen her use up a lot of energy. 

"How are you holding up? Need me to step up?"

He asked as he had the energy to spare and if really needed he had an item or two that'd help him and maybe even twilight if he eventually offered her an elixir.

Aero: 95

Strength: 45
Larry
Twilight would of course have a brief window of time to consume a Hi-Potion to restore some of her AP. This would however allow the Soldier that was kicking to connect, making her slide back a bit. However Twilight quickly took note of the one using its claws and tried to dodge with a Cartwheel, before using Blizzard to retaliate back at the Soldier that used its claw to attack her.

With Twilight answering Xerx's question by quietly consuming a hi-potion, he'd turn his attention to the incoming three heartless. One even attempted to close in to kick Xerx's in the face as the other two went after twilight who was kicked at the same time the other soldier kicked at Xerx. However, Xerx would seemingly disappear only to reappear around Twilight's side in an attempt to hit the two immediate soldiers, flashing in-between them and the third to potentially save twilight from taking a hit as well as taking all three out with time splicer.

Speed: 81

Strength: 150
Donald
The Soldier's kixk connected with Twilight, giving the Heartless time to rebound and land back on the ground. The claws of the 2nd Heartless barely missed its mark, leaving it open to the countershot of ice shards and defeating it. 

The other 2 Soldiers went in to try and kick Twilight again but were cut down by Xerx's Time Splicer. The crowd cheered at the duo clearing round 4 and tossed them both a Hi Potion from the stands. It grew silent now as round 5 was shortly going to begin.
Tyler
"So... We meet again Twilight." A familiar voice could be heard as the boss of Round 5 showed up: Squall Leonhart. "I wonder if you have gotten stronger since we last saw you."
Herman
"Heyy! It's been awhile Twilight!" The second part of the boss fight would arrive on the stage next, in a cloud of smoke: the Kunoichi Yuffie! "And I don't see that other girl with you, who's the new guy?"
Larry
Twilight would of been happy to see the two of them again after so many years. "Hello! Seems like the other girl had other plans! But anyway..." Her eyes shine brightly and glowed a slight bit. Her Phase Two state disappeared but that didn't make her flinch as Twilight began to close her eyes. Her hair began to flow upwards as high as it can. "Let's see how far we can go in this match!" Twilight called while her hair was remaining afloat.
Erika
Xerx was caught off guard to see actual people here as after all the heartless he figured this place just had some means to attract the heartless to the arena itself meaning he figured all rounds would be against them, but now there were humans or so what appeared to be human who even questioned his appearance.

"Now I can see why you said teamwork would be beneficial. Names Xerx, it's a honor to meet you two. Shall we begin?"
Herman
"Yeah, I have a feeling that I can't play around like I did before. Oh and the name's Kisaragi Yuffie, nice to meet you Xerx." Yuffie would say with a small bow and take out her weapon of choice: shuriken.
Tyler
"I guess I won't be able to either... It seems like we're up against a Keyblade user." Squall added and pointed his Gunblade at Xerx. "And name's Leon. Ready when you two are."
Larry
Twilight all of a sudden began to glow a bit brighter as her keyblade encountered the same glow. Her eyes became purely white before suddenly she began to transform. Her hair grew a bit taller before her humanoid ears changed to pony-like ears. White light particles swarm her back as a pair of wings shoots out from the light. She even gained a tail like her hairstyle does also. After a bit the brightness returned to normal before Twilight's eyes returned to normal.

"Its time to prove myself... Here we go... HAAAA!!!"

Twilight spun her Keyblade around before firing off a Blizzard straight for Yuffie as it glowed brighter than normal. This was due to the form Twilight was in as it made her magic extremely more potent.

Honestly both Yuffie and Squall looked capable; Squall looked to be more strength and defensively built while Yuffie's frame and build suggested a more lightweight agile fighter and with her weapon being a shuriken she was most likely quick on her feet to keep distance which probably meant Squall would be her shield and apply pressure. Xerx himself was mostly a quick agile fighter with magical capabilities just not many spells to his name. His strength was his second best stat but overall he wasn't a big hitter without the set up. With Twilight dashing towards Yuffie, Xerx figured it'd be better to deal with her first before turning their attention towards Squall and almost went at her until noticing the power surge from Twilight only for the female to then cast a massive blizzard that could probably rival that of Master Aria.. If she was still around, but needless to say it was impressive and probably meant she could deal with Yuffie by herself, unless Xerx's speed and agility were needed to catch Yuffie. This meant Xerx had to fight Squall and admittedly, in a one on one Xerx didn't think he'd be able to hit as hard as Squall could, but hopefully the gunblade slinger was slow enough for Xerx to run circles around, but with the match starting, Xerx sprung into action. Vanishing from where he stood Xerx would appear to the right of Squall with a unique glow of his own as he activated both his form and key blade ability, one he hadn't used before. Immediately a strike would come towards Squall before another and another as Xerx popped in and out of view via time splicer.

"I'm counting on it Twilight-" 

Yuffie would say and get ready to start moving when she saw Twilight change form, into something that she never saw before. She was a sitting duck for the oncoming ice Shards until Leon got in front of her, blocking the Blizzard for her with the broad end of his Gunblade.
Larry
Twilight focused on the shuriken and used a Cartwheel to dodge it quickly. Afterwards she smiled before rushing in before Twilight stopped halfway through the dash and fired off a Pulse Bomb attack at her opponent.

Time stood still for a moment as Squall's strength was fucking ridiculous and up to this point he was probably the strongest person he had yet met. Immediately, Xerx noped the fuck out of there or so would attempt to with a fire dash, where was he aiming? Well with Twilight unleashing her attack, Xerx would attempt to "Follow up" After it's explosion (unless Squall's attack would be attempted before then in which case Xerx would just attempt to dodge early but would cast Aero instead to hopefully give himself a minor speed boost from the guest of wind). In any case, Xerx was attempting to avoid Squall and instead focus on taking Yuffie out first since at the moment, Twilight was honestly their only hope of winning and with her power in display it was only a matter of time before it ran out thus the sooner Yuffie was dealt with the better.

Twilight would of used her Hi-Potion to restore some of her power to which afterwards she had seen the giant shuriken heading her way. Twilight smiled before cartwheeling away once more and moments after she stood on her feet Twilight began activating her Keyblade's ability, which was Magic Boost. "Take this!! This is the power of my training! BLIZZAAARD!!" She yelled as she made her keyblade turn pure blue as Twilight fired a blast of ice shards towards Yuffie with all her strength to try and knock her out the arena or defeat her.

Squall had more then a good point about turning ones back to an opponent, but it was also true that in a direct one on one squall easily had the upper hand in terms of strength most likely being able to knock Xerx out in a singular hit thus the immediate next best plan, in Xerx's mind, was to double Yuffie and attempt to knock her out so In the case Xerx did fall it'd still be a one v one between Squall and Twilight. Poof, again Xerx would attempt speed away from the area of nerfed death or rather the fire.Blast firaga as it too would smack Xerx into another deep slumber. With a burst of speed Xerx would seemingly poof, but in reality he had used a combo of dodge slash to well dodge the slash obviously, but he'd combo it into a slapshot in attempt to knock Yuffie out with the main force coming from Twilight.

Yuffie's Shuriken collided with the Blizzard, weakening the shards to an extent that would come into contact with her. She had to crossed her arms to guard herself against some of the ice shards. The kunoichi would then be struck by the Slapshot, not thinking Xerx would attack her again and knock her out. As she went down, she would toss a Shuriken at Leon and fall unconscious. 

"S-Sorry Leon..."

`Clear Tranquil: +40% AP`
Larry
Twilight gritted her teeth before she closed her eyes and opened them as a white aura formed around the winged girl. This would of been Phase Two and Second Form to add on top of her crazy capabilities. Twilight aimed at Leon as quick as she could before her eyes went blank but glowed white. "METEOR... SHOWER..." Twilight's keyblade had a big orb with a fiery aura of red around it. "FIIIIRREEE!!" She roared at Leon before firing her strongest Meteor Shower ability at Leon yet. But there was another thing powering up, as when Second Form kicked in its own ability activated. That power was Light Within to slightly power up the Meteor Shower.

If not for death looming in everyone of Squall's attacks Xerx would genuinely be awestruck watching Twilight in action as she probed herself to be quite formidable. Not .Dishonor the opponent, Xerx had caught Yuffie to respectfully set her down while praying to the gods neither the firaga nor rough divide would've been coming towards him which if so he'd promptly try to avoid, but if Twilight's attack and Squall's attack canceled each other out that'd be perfect. 

"Twilight, hop on my back, I'll be our legs, you be the cannon."

Whether Twilight would agree with the plan was unknown and objectively fight aside they were somewhat still strangers and as such maybe piggybacking her was a bit uncomfortable, which would be a fair assessment to which Xerx would respect, but if allowed, the two would unite Xerx's speed with Twilight's power, but Xerx was nearly done with his boosts so they had to make the next few turns count.
Larry
Twilight with her glowing eyes saw there was no time at all to do a combined attack assault. "There's no time Xerx!" She quickly said as Twilight quickly used her final Hi Potion consumption to restore herself a bit. Twilight then used the brief chance she has left to rush at Leon with an Explosion to try and knock Leon backwards yet again. Whether or not the attack succeeded she yelled at Xerx again. "NOW! ATTACK HIM!" Twilight would of used Blizzard against Leon with hopefully a assist from Xerx to keep the offensive pressure up.

Unlike twilight, Xerx was honestly in a losing battle as with his current strength he was more if a liability than actually any good for assistance given both Squall's/Leon's defense and strength. Sure Xerx had him beat in speed, but speed could only do so much and as such Xerx used his hi-potion before unleashing his own hopeful combo that wouldn't do so much damage, but hopefully it'd keep their opponent in place long enough fo both the explosion and blizzard. Dodge slash, in an attempt to dodge, Xerx would preform a dodge slash to hopefully avoid the first attack, but he'd then try to unleash his own combo. Starting with a quick Aero and slapshot that probably wouldn't do any damage own their own, but it was meant to grab Squall's/Leon's attention while attempting to do some damage, but this action would combo into Xerx disappearing and like earlier he'd preform Time splicer where at the end, he'd try to finish everything off with an ariel impulse by using his acrobatic ability to set it up where if successful; Xerx would use up a lot if energy for a semi respectable attack, but again he was definitely the weakest one standing.

Twilight saw the Fira incoming and looked at all the possibilities of a way to get out of this situation, but due to over analyzing the incoming attack she was hit hard, suffering a bit of burnt skin and her clothes being a bit charred. "Tck... I am not going down like the previous time!! I can surpass this match and move on!!" Twilight slowly got on her feet and gripped her Keyblade tightly. She knew this power in her was gonna run out eventually, so Twilight had one major idea but only as a last ditch effort to knock out Leon if he did something crazy. With Twilight up on her feet, she sipped a Potion to restore her energy, and rushed at Leon but stopped her feet halfway through the dash and aimed carefully before using Pulse Bomb to try blast Leon away. After the attack was finished, Twilight began to breath hard due to the amount of drain her body was taking. "Shoot... At this rate...!" Twilight shook her head from side to side and kept her Keyblade held up strongly despite having a bit of blurry vision.

With his energy spent, Xerx could attempt to dodge, but if he moved now, Squall would just turn his sights on Twilight's attacks and thus with whatever remaining strength he could muster, Xerx would try his best to tank Squall's hit, but easily be knocked away with little effort making it questionable whether Xerx was still conscious or not especially as he laid on the ground unmoving for some time, though thankfully he wouldn't he dead.
Tyler
Leon shot the Fira and saw his attack land on her, half expecting her to have tried to block it with Bizzard or the sort. He watched as she got up on two feet and prepared for her dash, aiming to meet her halfway with a downwards slash. What he didn't expect was for her to suddenly stop and begin to pelt him with the series of magic energy spheres. He ended up getting sent back flying towards the opposite side of the Colosseum and falling flat on his face and dropping his weapon. 

Leon slowly moved a hand and reached for his sword, shakily getting back up and using the Gunblade as a crutch. 

"Heh, you really did get strong-"

He would say and fall to the ground defeated.
Melissa
"Well would you look at that folks! It looks like returning rookie and the newbie have managed to defeat Yuffie and Leon! Will they be able to make it all the way to Round 10!" 

The audience was cheering loudly for the both of them, tossing them flowers and the like into the arena.
Larry
Twilight reverted to her base state, before lifting her Keyblade into the air as it shined brightly. Though weakened, she was standing strong and caught her breath for a moment.

"I didn't get strong on my own, me and six friends helped me along the way through the hard times and tough trials of my journey! Even new friends helped me throughout my struggles whenever i first met them!"

She told the crowd as a small speech as Twilight put her Keyblade to the side of her while holding it before bowing to the crowd. After she got up, she took the time to drink a potion before Round 6 started to use as a somewhat refresher to keep herself from fainting.

Xerx had managed to hold on and keep himself from passing out, but as he laid there in that moment with a "Damn" Look on his face, he could still hear the action going on, but with the cheering and announcement of "Their" Victory, as he sat up the elixir would bonk him in the face, but thankfully It too wouldnt kill him but that said, he'd quickly down the elixir to feel all of his strength return to which he'd pick himself up feeling somewhat different, but he wouldn't know how to explain it. It was like a power hidden there waiting to be called upon, but for now Xerx picked himself up and trotted over to his partner.

"Sorry about that last attack.. There wasn't much I could do."

He spoke in a somber way truly ashamed that he had to out everything on her shoulders in the end in which could've caused their defeat, but with round 6 starting soon and still 4 more rounds afterward, just how much stronger would enemies get or were rounds 5 and 10 special for the match ups themselves? Soon the duo would find out. 

Elixir consumed: AP and MP +100%
Donald
Leon and Yuffie were both taken out of the arena and round 6 would soon begin. What the duo would now see before them were 3 Large Body Heartless, arriving through the portals heartless used so much. One wasted no time and began to run, charging at Twilight with a dash to try and bulldoze her over with it's immense size. The other two held off for now, seeing how the first one would be dealt with before heading into battle themself. 

`Rush: 135`
Larry
Twilight would of seen the Large Body Heartless come out of the portal and noticed the first one rush at her at its maximum speed. She would try to block the attack with a Barrier 2 defensive measure, before firing a Magic Pulse at the Large Body that came after her.

As the fight with Yuffie and squall proved; speed was viable, but only if one had the strength to back it up. That said, these heartless were definitely not as strong nor as fast as the previous opponents and as such Xerx wouldn't have to be as reserved, but with Twilight attacking the one who charged her, with it's target identified and assuming it's leave Xerx alone, Xerx would capitalize on it's tunnel vision. Now being behind or beside the beast and having some knowledge of them, Xerx knew magic and non direct attacks say to the back of side would be effective which is why he'd attack from behind with a lunging attack followed by quick upper cutting motion followed by a twist of his wrist to swiftly bring the key blade back down to deliver a simple 3-hit combo. 



Speed: 178
Larry
Twilight would of saw the incoming Body Slam attack before using Barrier to try and minimize damage, but it made her slide backwards as she resorted to drinking the Elixir she had to fully recover from the past battles however with the markings not changing from the fifth round. With a huff of exhaling, Twilight activated Phase Two once again before using a Cartwheel to get behind the Large Body attacking her, and shoot a Blizzard spell at its back.

One thing Xerx was thankful for was the slower movements of the current heartless, they were an honest breather after round 5, but it wasn't wise to grow complacent as the heartless too could get stronger, and there were many forms they could take on. However for the moment after the last fight, things were relaxing. With the large body closing in and the other going after twilight, it had essentially become two 1v1's. Swerving around the large body with surprising grace, something people wouldn't immediately guess of Xerx as not only was he fast; he was Acrobatic as well. On his way he'd preform fire dash to soften up the enemy by burning it's sides as Xerx swerved around him where he'd then attack into the target with a quick 3-hit combo.

The Large Body slammed into the ground, knocking Twilight away despite the barrier in place. It took some time for the Heartless to get back up, giving Twilight ample time to get behind the large creature and blasting it in the back with the Blizzard, defeating it in one blow. For the one Xerx was dealing with, the Large Body swung its arms and missed its mark. It looked around for Xerx and felt him before it could see him, being defeated by the Fire Dash and 3 hit combo and signaling the end of Round 6!

Round 7 started up not too long after. 5 Emerald Blues spawned in through the darkness with a plan in mind. Air began to spin around the Heartless and kick up a small tornado around them, of which they then launched a powerful blast of wind at both Twilight and Xerx for a mighty team concert attack!

`Team Aerora: 2,100`
Larry
Twilight would of seen the five Emerald Blues and saw them kick up wind. Not taking any sort of chance of holding back, Twilight activated Rainbow Power once more as well as Second Form. The return of winged girl then aimed her Keyblade at the Emerald Blues before sending a Meteor Shower at the blast of wind and the five Emerald Blues with all her strength.

When it came to magic similar to strength, Xerx was a bit out classed, but seeing twilight activate her powers again she once again proved how clutch she was, but rather than ogle, Xerx jumped high into the air to move out of the way of the two clashing magical forces but if Twilight's attack would power through hopefully it'd leave the heartless vulnerable if not outright slap them into the next round

Speed: 297

AP: 100% -65%

Twilight would of continued to keep her fighting power up as her next opponent went for a rushing charge. Deciding to lower her power a bit by deactivating Second Form, she too rushed at the Winterhorn to use Thunder Surge in order to clash with it or overpower the deer Heartless much like last round.

Being in the air, the only place to go was down and with the new round starting off with two deer like heartless appearing with one firing ice up at Xerx, he'd attempt to counter via an aero boosted fire dash turning his body into a falling meteor of some destruction. With his flames and speed increased by the aero, Xerx would rocket down towards the heartless in an attempt to hit it hard if not take it out in one go.

The first Winterhorn charged true right into Twilight... And be stopped in it's tracks by the Thunder Surge and overpowered. It went crashing away from the girl a couple of feet before disappearing. As for Xerx, the Winterhorn didn't move as the fireball came crashing down. It's Blizarra did weaken the impact but not enough for it to survive the attack and the follow up slap. 

The crowd as in full uproar, only ever seeing 1 person make it this far before and the duo weren't even from Thebes. Round 9 soon began and 2 more Heartless appeared in the air: 2 Aeroplanes. They soared high up in the air and began to rain down machine gun fire or magic down at the duo trying to take them out at a distance. 

`Machinegun Strafe: 1,200`
Larry
Twilight saw the Aeroplanes come towards the duo from above. Twilight would of used another Barrier defensive measure to try and block most of the damage, but still was sliding backwards. Once the firing stopped she fired a Blizzard spell straight into both Aeroplane Heartless with icy crystal shards.

Air enemies were Interesting, especially the designs of these heartless, would Xerx be able to keep up with his acrobatics? With the enemies coming in for an air strafe, Xerx watched as Twilight put up a barrier and hoped it'd hold out while he quickly used his hi-potion, reserving his elixir for either the next round for another time. With his energy back, and assuming the barrier held out, Xerx would take into the sky via high jump to follow up on Twilight's icy blast, aiming for the nearest one, unless both had been defeated, Xerx would preform a series of acrobatic combos, hitting the one with a quick 3-hit combo and if the other was close enough and still up, he'd attempt to his it with a finishing plus sending it flying towards the ground if successful. 

Speed: 162

Normal attacks: 30 per hit. 90 successful combo.

The Aeroplanes soared back up into the air, seeing their Machine Gun fire being stopped by the barrier Twilight created. Both planes went their opposite directions to regroup. One of the Heartless' wings were clipped by the Blizzard and went into a tailspin, crashing into the ground. The second evaded the Blizzard completely and went to go for another round of firing, but was caught off guard by Xerx's high jump and barrage of hits. It soon crashed into the ground as well being defeated and signaling the end of Round 9.
Melissa
"Can ya believe it folks! These two managed to make it to Round 10! Do they have what it takes to take down. The final boss and win the championship!?" 

Phil announced and the spectators cheered loudly for the two, throwing things into the stands.
Donald
Round 10 began with the sound of a gong and with that gong, the arena turned pitch black. The very light in the arena vanished in an instant. Darkness pooled from into the center of the Colosseum and began to take a ghastly shape. A malovent dark shadow rose, easily eclipsing both Xerx and Twilight in size and stared down at the both of them without a word.
Larry
Twilight would of deactivated Phase Two and had seen the gigantic dark creature appear which made her legs shake in a bit of nervousness. But then she got her grip together as Twilight knew this was the last round. She couldn't let Yuffie and Lion down after proving herself to them in round 5, so Twilight analyzed the monster with her eyes and exhaled. Running at the giant Heartless as her eyes kept analyzing it, Twilight would of jumped as high as she could as the girl used an Explosion on the heart-shaped hole in the Heartless's chest to not only damage it but to propel herself to the giant's head and finished off her combo with a Blizzard spell to damage the head of the beast before finally dropping to the ground after the assault.

Final round. Xerx too was impressed and surprised; this was beyond anything he had seen before, and with it being the final round this thing would half to be around Squall's and Yuffie's level if not greater. Twilight was the first to act unsurprising as she was more than likely the reason for the duo's success and had been the power house, but Xerx couldn't just sit back and as shown he had tried his best. 

"Can't let her do it all herself." 

He commented to himself as the feeling from earlier returned to him. Was it confidence? Bravery? Stupidity? It was fear and confidence, hope and despair, a balance of light and dark that forced Xerx to make a decision: surpass his limits here and now or "Die" And end in failure. Sure there was some slack given and the stakes weren't world altering, but it was a milestone not only for himself but his new ally; Twilight. The two together would be going through this thus Xerx would out it all on the line. Around his body a light would reflect off of his black coat? No, a grey hue emitted from Xerx himself: Second form (D). However, this wasn't all as he'd conjoin it with second phase as well as Sonic arts and prepare to go all out against the massive mass of maddening darkness. He felt cold, almost freezing, but in his face presented a smile that felt alive?

Imagine standing atop a mountain's peak looking out into the vastness while the wind and temperatures clung to your skin; not entirely uncomfortable, but forcing you to move, yet it's still within your power to do so; a fresh open chilling discovery full of inspiration to jump at life with arms wide. Xerx would vanish from where he was only appearing around the massive beast attacking into it with first an opening of time splicer that would combo into an aerial impulse with Xerx's acrobatiiseeming second nature with how well he could fight in the air. Admittedly he was being very reckless, but this was the wrong to go all out and he had two items that's essentially allow him to do this combo over and over again if he chose, but again there was a lot more. Being launched by the aerial impulse; Xerx would fire Dash into the heartless to unleash a 3 hit combo that would lead into his next two moves: a quick slap shot to the face before a string overhand finishing plus to finish off his devastating combo rendering Xerx with no more AP unless he'd use one of his two elixirs, but he'd wait to see what damage he and Twilight were able to do.

Twilight would of been hit into the ground and the shockwave zapped her a bunch. She was able to get up but ultimately looked worse for wear as her clothing was slight torn in some places while other sections of her outfit were just dirty from the dust. She drank an Elixir to fully recover from such an impact, but her clothes were still torn and dirty. "I guess I have no choice in the matter... If I don't do it it may be the end of the round easily..!" Twilight while in Rainbow Power also activated Phase Two coupled by Second Form to fully maximize her power output. She aimed her Keyblade with one hand on it and decided to go all out like Xerx did. Twilight fired a Meteor Shower at Darkside to try and get its attention to stop it from attacking her ally. Afterwards she leaped into the air and fired a Pulse Bomb into the Heartless's head to continue her assault as to try and push the giant beast back more. Twilight continued her assault by shooting another Blizzard at the beast's legs to try and hopefully make it fall down. Lastly, she jumped over darkside's head and used Ragnarok to clobber it's head to a pulp. Once her attack ended Twilight slid backwards on her feet and stopped on time.

While falling, Xerx quickly used one of his two elixirs while mostly unaware of what Twilight was doing, instead he saw the missive fist coming towards him; would Twilight's attack be enough to save Xerx? Whether it did or not as if all staged: Xerx would vanish from where he was, teleport, he'd appear behind the massive creature and almost as if to pay honor to Twilight's magical prowess the air around Xerx surged with heat with him using an aero boosted fire dash taking off like a like a meteor himself where he'd crash into the being, but to finish his combo, with a thunder surge slamming into the beast before Xerx finally landed in preparation for whatever happened next.

Twilight would of been hit extremely hard by the Dark Punch as she hits the ground so hard she would of coughed upon impact. She drank a Potion as quickly as the girl could and huffed hard. Twilight was starting to get exhausted and on top of this she got inflicted with blindness and looked around and saw nothing but pitch black and nothing else.

"Great... I totally didn't realize this now! Okay Twilight... Just think of something... Wait... That's it! If I can't find that beast without my vision..."

Twilight's hair slightly floated as she began sensing where the giant beast of darkness was at, although she also had sensed three smaller dark energies with Darkside now. While the Shadows were busy with Xerx, she ran after Darkside due to her sensing ability and jumped into the air. She had to finish this here and now even if it means she loses the final round. She aimed at Darkside before shooting a Pulse Bomb at it again with another Blizzard blast on the giant beasts body. Lastly as a finish to her combo Twilight would strike with a Explosion attack into Darkside's chest area. After she landed hard on the ground, Twilight gasped as her Second Form ultimately was forced to deactivate on her due to using so much energy to keep up with the final round battle.

With the massive creature falling Xerx wouldn't want anything to do with the ground be thus doubled high into the air.. A high jump :'D, which allowed him to avoid the shadows (unless they tried to jump after him) and the dark shock wave. He needed to hold on to some energy as after his cool down, he'd be able to unleash his own final attack assuming the heartless still go down even after Twilight's grand display of attacks that still hit impressively making him thankful he wasn't on her bad side.

Darkside slowly rose back up to its feet, recovering from the force of the previous blows that knocked it over. It's glowing eyes stared at Twilight as she jumped, surprised to see her moving so quickly despite having her eyes closed. It raised its forearm to defend against the Magic Spheres and damaging it in the process. The following Blizzard and Explosion were able to land and put the Darkside on it's last legs, falling down to one knee. Closing its hand into a fist once more, the Heartless decided to land its final attack. It punched into the ground hard, phasing its arm into a dark portal and pulled out a sphere of glowing purple darkness. Forcing itself back up to its feet, the dark magic ball would go flying high into the air and breaking down into falling dark bullets, threatening to hit everyone in the area even the Shadows that were just vibing about now that everyone was out of their range. 

`Dark Sphere: 5,796`
Larry
Twilight felt a flurry of dark bullets hitting her rapidly that damaged her continuously. It even caused the winged girl to slowly get pushed downward onto the ground like gravity was multiplying endless just by how heavy the dark bullets were hitting and how much damage Twilight endured up until now. Would this be the end of her second attempt...? Would all her training be for nothing against the final round...? Twilight then heard her name albeit faintly, but knew who that voice was.

"S-Sunset...?! I... I c-can't... N-no... I... WON'T... GIVE IN!!"

That's when deep within Twilight's heart her willpower to never give up made her slowly get up with the dark bullets still pelting her. She used her last healing item available, being a normal Potion, to restore a bit of her strength before roaring at Darkside loudly as a rainbow aura engulfed her. This was her form's extra ability and she also reactivated Second Form to make this last attack of hers come. She began to dash at Darkside despite the bullets hurting her still. She then did a final Explosion attack but it wasn't white, but more icy blue like as she used Blizzard to add more damage as a last ditch effort. However after that she slid backwards heavily on the ground unable to more, but Twilight was still conscious though barely while a icy display of magic damage was hopefully hitting Darkside.

Well the raining darkness definitely didn't look good and as such, Xerx was on the immediate downward fall, but not without a final plan a final gamble. Closing the distance swiftly Xerx would attempt to slam into the heartless with an aerial impulse that would hopefully trigger a three his comb: impulse followed by 2 regular attacks that would end off with a 4th and finally hit being that of finishing plus before once again Xerx would be drained of everything unless he used his last Elixir; he'd land near Twilight and give her a confident grin and smile.

"No matter what happens, you kicked ass!" 

He'd congratulate her with her obviously being the mvp of the show with her magical capabilities exceeding anything he had seen in terms of magical ability. Would they be successful or would they fail after coming do far? Would Xerx use his last Elixir for one ultimate final assault? Depends on how things went.

The Darkside watched as the rain of Dark Spheres assaulted the duo, with no expression on it's face. It's giant hand began to glow with the Power of Darkness once more, ready to destroy the duo with another Dark Punch. Twilight was able to outspeed it however and the ice powered Explosion hit it hard. The Heartless would begin to tumble backwards and with the Arial Impulse would accelerate its fall and hit the ground on its back. It made a twitch with its hand but ultimately faded back into darkness, being defeated.
Melissa
"They actually did it... I-I mean of course they did! Let's hear it for your two new champs!"

Phil announced and the crowd went wild in cheers for adoration at the display and determination the two had, tossing roses and cards into the arena, being the loudest the Colosseum now has two new victors in a long time. The Satyr would walk down to the duo and go to present them both the Phil Cup trophy along with their base winnings. 

"Oh that's reminds me! Since you cleared this cup you also get to choose this next reward. You both can only choose 1 of these however. So choose wisely."
Larry
Twilight would of gotten up slowly and took a long inhale and exhale. She looked at the crowd before weirdly looking at the sky.

"I know I heard her... But... Did she actually travel here too...?"

Twilight spoke to herself quietly before drawing herself back to Phil and listened to him saying about one final reward to pick wisely. Being slightly curious, she tilted her head.

"If I may ask about this next reward, what choices do we have for picking only one of them? I will gladly take what's to offer!"

Twilight smiled as she gave the same warm smile as always.
Erika
Unbelievable, they had actually won? Sure it might have been a beginner's cup, but it definitely tested the two strangers and after fighting alongside twilight, a certain kind of battle bond was created. Walking over to his partner, he'd clap out a congratulations.

"I'd say Twilight gets first nab, she basically carried us to victory and pushed herself A LOT." 

He'd say openly with a smile as he wasn't "Hyping" Her up but rather giving her the praise she deserved as without her, he wouldn't have made it past round 5 so yes, he believed she should have the first choice in the matter.
Melissa
"Since you guys beat Leon, Yuffie and that Darkside. You get these choices." 

Phil would whistle and some other Satyrs would bring out three treasure chests: All of which would pop open and revealing weapons that they could choose from.

Dark Reaper(Lv. 3): An Axe seeped in Darkness, made from the cloth as a Darkside. It's Maddening Darkness makes it unsuited for those who purely walk in the Light. 
STR: x2.5
DEF: x4
MAG: x4
SPD: x1.0
Darkness Boost
Allows the Use of the Dark Punch Ultimate! Stab the Axe into the ground to create a swirling pool of Darkness that spawns 2 Shadows
Larry
Twilight would of been taken aback by the three weapons she had to pick one from. The third option she felt had a great amount of darkness but also it felt like a great source of magic capacity in it.

"Well... As much as I like to use that axe for its magic use..."

Twilight summoned her Keyblade and stared at it and gave a smirk to it. She made it disappear shortly afterwards.

"I think Option One is my final choice if I think about my lacking speed! Combining speed with magic would be a good combination in my personal opinion! Plus taking a thing that that doesn't have Yuffie or Squall's ownership wouldnt be a great idea, heh heh!"

Twilight told Phil as she took the Manji Shuriken as her choice.
Erika
Xerx was happy to see his new friend taking the shuriken and while a bit jealous as it definitely held the speedsters interest, he had already said for Twilight to pick first. 

"Y'know I was thinking about the shuriken as well, but I think I have enough speed, option 2 is better suited for me given my lack of strength."

He was truly Happy for the both of them before taking the gunblade and cautiously feeling it out, almost stunned to actually be holding it as he recalled the fear of god Squall had put into him; Xerx wouldn't take this lightly and would want to honor his opponent.
Melissa
Phil nodded as the two choose their weapons and the other Satyrs would go and return the weapons back to where they belonged. 

"Well, glad you two finally made it to the top! Here I was thinking only Herc and some of the others were gonna past it! If you swing by later you can see some of other Cups we got in store, they're gonna be much tougher than this one here so keeping up training is key."
Larry
Twilight nodded politely about what Phil said. She had fun with the Phil Cup but Twilight knew for future cups she had to train harder than ever.

"Got it. I'll keep going for training and seeing how far the next cup will take me! Anywho, I got to investigate something here real quick so i will bid you farewell for a bit! Later Xerx! Later Phil!"

Twilight would of ran off to the exit and waved before she was no longer seeable from the beginning of the exit.
Melissa
"Alright, welcome to the Games! Today's competitor comes from a place called 'Twilight Town' wherever in all the realms that might be! Can she clear this by herself? Only time may tell! Let the first round begin!" 

And with that, the crowd began to cheer as the first round began. Dark portals opened up and 3 Shadows appeared, looking around before settling their gaze on Xion and ready to fight.
Christina
"Hold up. Just like that? Well... Whatever, I guess... May as well give this a try or whatever! These things don't look too bad. Kinda cute, really. But if they're here, they're probably a threat! So let's go, I guess! Here we GO!" *She says in a perfect Mario imitation before rushing the closest one with a simple basic ground combo*

`Strength: 11`
Donald
~~Sorry, been surprisingly busy yesterday helping people~~

The first Shadow went to leap at Xion, clashing it's claws with her Keyblade, but was soundly defeated. The other two took notice of the Keyblade Wielder and began to attack. The second Shadow would leap towards Xion and try and slash at her with her sharp claws while the third stood idly by for the moment. 

`Scratch: 67`
Christina
*Feeling like being hit by this thing would be bad, Xion throws up a Barrier and summons her Starlove around it, turning herself into a living Beyblade, running towards the Shadow attacking her and then running towards the other one, not dropping the ring of lasers around herself*

```Barrier: 84 Magic 
Starlove: 77 Magic
AP: 90%
MP: 95%```
Donald
~~That's it using a Strong Ability, not a base attack lol~~

The Shadow went for it's scratch, only slicing into the barrier and not reaching the girl underneath. It was going to jump away, but was hit by the following Starlove. The same fate befell the third Shadow, cut down before it could do much in terms of attacking. The crowd actually began to stir somewhat, getting somewhat invested in seeing how far she might go. 

Now Round 2 began to start! What came out of the Dark Portals now were Soldiers, clacking with their metal armor as they landed on the ground: numbering two in total.
Christina
"Ok then... *Less* Cute than the last ones but ok. Let's see what we can do with a Starfall..." *Xion points the Keyblade at the Soldiers and fires a Starfall at them, rainbow stars violently firing towards them* 

```MP: 80%
Starfall: 84 Magic```

*Xion, surprised this thing kicked away her spell, is unable to react to the scratch in time and takes some damage from it* "Tch- Fine. You wanna be that way? Let's do this." *She takes her Keyblade and spins it around a few times before slamming it straight into the thing's face, blade first like she was using an axe* 
`Strength: 34.5`
Donald
The Soldiers' claws landed a hit, making it laugh from under the rattling of its helmet. Landing back on its two feet, the Heartless went to slash once more to collide with the Keyblade. It wasn't strong enough to combat Xion's power and was slashed clean in two, vanishing from being defeated by the Keyblade.
`Strength: 16.5`

Round 3 would begin and 1 Large Body would emerge, landing on the ground with a giant thud. The large Heartless went in for the first strike, swinging it's giant arms wildly in order to try and land a blow on Xion.
`Mow Down Attack: 90`
Christina
"Woohoo! Now that's what I'm talking about!" *Xion exclaims as the Soldier is bisected and then the Large Body comes out and immediately charges her, eliciting a* "Whoa! Barrier Love!" *And as per usual for her standard blocking method, she activates Barrier and Starlove, hoping this would be enough to murder it*
`Barrier: 234
Starlove: 216`
Donald
The Large Body went in for it's blow... Only for its arms to bounce off of the barrier and it be knocked down on its equally large behind. It would try and get back up, but the following Starlove blast took it down in one blow and the Heartless vanished in one fell swoop. Round 4 would then commence and soon enough, 3 Air Soldiers came forth from the darkness and flapped around in the air around Xion. One of the 3 would fly downwards at a high speed to try and tackle Xion full force while the others watched for now to see how the girl would react. 
`Tackle: 90`
Christina
"Huh... That's it? Huh... That was eas-" *BAM! Xion is cut off mid sentence and once again slammed by another attack* "Tch- Alright then..." *She gets up a bit shakily and sighs* "Ok let's... Try... Crowd control. Thunder!" *She raises her Keyblade and calls down a hail of lightning upon these things*
```MP: 60%
AP: 90%
Thunder: 198``

*Xion does what anyone being attacked from 2 sides by flying enemies would do. She drops to the ground to dodge, flopping backwards instead of forwards! And proceeds to drop another Thunder on them from her defensive position on the ground*
```Thunder: 259
MP: 45%```
Donald
The Thunder was more than enough to defeat the two Air Soldiers. Xion's lightning didn't vanish however, instead it and sources of electricity all flowed into the center of the arena. Cheering from the audience grew louder and louder as the 5th round, the boss battle began. Out of the lightning came out a small, squat creature with electric antennae.

"**Hajmha sihkism ziz ziz!**"
Christina
"Aww. Well aren't you adorable, little guy? You give some major gremlin vibes. I kinda wanna tame you and take you home with me. Thunder is definitely out of the question for me. Hmm... Well let's see here..." *She turns to the crowd* "Anyone got any dog treats? Or bacon? Or just rawhide treats?" *Turning your back to something in the Colosseum... That's... A really dumb idea...*

*Whoops- Feeling the air begin to crackle, Xion goes to raise her Barrier but ends up slipping into the Spell Weaver Command Style ~~totally didn't forget earlier. Not used to having access to so much stuff so cut me some slack~~ and then fires back with Starfall, massive, sharp as fuck and actually kinda hot from the sudden power boost. This... Was gonna hurt like a bitch and be absolutely 100% overkill for the next 5 rounds-*
```Barrier/Starfall: 2849
AP: 105%
MP: 70%```

*Ok... LESS overkill it seems. Once he dodges, she cracks her neck as she keeps track of him, her Keyblade beginning to glow as she subconsciously activates its Magic Boost* "Let's dance, asshole~" *When she notices him going above her, she raises a Barrier and then another one around it to create Barrier 2, raising her Keyblade, a rainbow light drawing into the tip of it as it grows. Right as 212 hits Barrier, she screams* "LOVE SIGN: MAGICANNON FINAL SPARK!!!" ***BOOOOOOOSH!!!!*** And so a massive rainbow laser several times wider than Xion herself and surrounded by magical containment rings around it BLASTS the little guy*
```Phase 2: 1/5
Spell Weaver: 2/5
Magic Boost: 1/5
AP: 80%
MP: 45%
Barrier 2: 4774.11
Final Spark: 6178.26```
Donald
"**Ikata!**"

Experiment 221 exclaimed, seeing that his electricity blocked by a barrier. It noticed that Xion started glowing and more electric sparks began to surround the small alien creature, building up another Thundaga. This time, it was shot out as a powerful beam of lightning rather than a ball of lightning and colliding with the wide beam of magic. Its power wasn't enough however and was blasted away, engulfed from the magic and landing on the ground in front of Xion unconscious. The crowd began to cheer in Xion's victory loudly, throwing flowers and such into the arena. 

`Thundaga: 2,760`
Christina
*Xion flops to the ground exhausted* "Thank you thank you! Ladies... If you're interested in a night of fun... We can discuss it after I can actually walk again. Wait for me nearby." *She half jokes. She was completely serious but figured she could make it come off as humorous*
Donald
As Xion layed on the ground, Round 6 would begin! 2 Green Requiems would appear alongside 3 Emerald Blues and they would float around, ready to begin the battle.
Christina
*Upon seeing things continue, she sighs* "Damnit- Fine then. Let's do this." *She drags herself to her feet and groans before deciding to channel her command style into a huge attack, drawing them in to the magical spiral to try taking them out quickly though she does try to leave one of the Requiems alive. Why? She wanted to shake the healing out of it, of course! After the finisher, the Keyblade and twilight colored aura around her shut off, deactivating both the Magic Boost and Phase 2*
```Finisher:

[(37 + 10%) x 11.5x] x ({8x + 4x} + 20%) 6,739.92
Donald
~~Tfw their highest attack was in the 300s~~
Karen
Xion: *Xion sighs and Dark Rolls out of the way before grabbing the Heartless with her bare hands and begins to violently shake it to get something out of it for healing. Why? Green means healing, right? It was the same color as Cure more or less*

```AP: 50
Speed: 52.5
Donald
The Green Requiem would be confused at why it was grabbed and then suddenly shaked violently. Once Xion was done shaking it, the Heartless' gold eyes were in dizzy spirals.
Christina
"C'mon! Heal me already!" *She exclaims as she proceeds to spike it into the ground, again trying to make it heal her by accident somehow*
Donald
The Green Requiem was slammed into the ground, casting Cure and healing some of Xion's wounds and AP.
`Cure: +20% AP`
Christina
"Yay! FOUR!" *She cheers as she smacks it with her Keyblade, using the weapon like a golf club to smack it across the arena* 
```AP: 70%
STR: 36```
Donald
That Heartless went spiralling across the arena from the blow: hitting the edge of the stairs and vanishing as it been defeated. Round 7 started as soon as the previous ended and 3 Bandits would appear from the portals of darkness and brandished their blades about. One started the show and charged Xion with a powerful two handed slash. 
`Strength: 504`
Christina
"Tch. Of *Course* You're gonna do this to me. Why do I always have to be so serious? Ugh-" *She proceeds to activate her Magic Boost and Phase 2, her Keyblade glowing and surrounding herself in a Twilight colored aura, hues of orange, lavender and pink shifting around her. And so she decides she's not going to bother with two separate techniques. Instead she'd just kill his ass with Starlove. And so a ring of rainbow colored lasers appear around her as she floats on an oversized star, Kirby style, trying to obliterate the Bandit*
```MP: 30%
Starlove: [(37 x 2x] x ({3x + 4x} + 20%) = 621.6```
Donald
The bandit that charged Xion was hit collided swords with the Starlove and would be defeated by the relating blast. The other two were relatively surprised by this and both went in for their charge. One of the Bandits leapt onto the air going for an overhead slash and the second one would go in for a stab to her chest at the same time.

`Strength: 504`
Christina
*Well isn't this a predicament? Well let's try out her explosion powder technique! She yoinks out a massive handful of magnesium and gunpowder and tosses it at the Bandit coming for her gut, striking the ground with her blade of her Keyblade, creating a spark to set off the powder! As for the fucker above her... Aero! The whirlwind appears beneath her feet and fires her into the air where she points the Keyblade straight up to impale the bandit coming at her from above!*
```MP: 15%
Aero: 655.2 Magic
Impalement: 72 plus... Honestly whatever you feel is appropriate to add for the Aero physics boost
Explosion powder:???? I have no fucking clue how to calculate that-```
Donald
The magnesium explosion was something of a surprise to everyone watching, let alone the Bandit that was hit in the blast and practically defeating it in one go. The other Bandit clashed with the Aero and ultimately was blasted into the air defeated. The crowd would then go silent as trumpets would sound: the final boss was another to appear. A dark Corridor formed and a sword flew downward, stabbing into the Colosseum grounds. What came next was an Orcus pulling its blade out of the ground and floating in the air, letting out a fearsome roar.
Christina
"Well aren't you a total badass~? I'm gonna take your sword and forge it into something else." *She says with a grin before she decides she wants to blow through her AP so she can go full nuke on this fucker. How? Magic Hour! Pillars of magic shoot down from the sky all around her!*

[(39 + 10%) x 11.5] x ({7x + 4x} + 20%) = 6512.22

*This thing wanted to go for an attack on her? Well I never had gravity kick in from her Aero before and the Magic Hour had stopped the effects of gravity before. Now that that's done, gravity takes over and she fucking drops to the ground, pointing the Keyblade at the Orcus now above her. And hoo boy- Even aiming upwards is going to deal a LOT of damage to the arena. That audience better have the best damn invisible magic barrier in existence cuz if not...? Well... Let's not think about that* "PREPARE FOR MY ULTIMATE SPARK! TWIIIILIIIIIGHT... SPAAAAARK!!!" *And so the entire sky is shifted to her well known twilight colored sky as a massive orange, pink, lavender and black orb grows at an incredible rate at the tip of her Keyblade before it fucking EXPLODES into a Twilight Spark, the spark engulfing damn near the entire area of the arena, only really being stopped by the safety barrier for the audience. The sheer force of it alone completely obliterates the floor of the place. As for Phil? Pray he's behind the safety barrier otherwise there's gonna need to be some serious bargaining with Hades lmao*

Limit Break: Twilight Spark [(39 + 10%) x 11.5] x ({10x + 4x} + 20%) = 8288.28

"Ah crapbaskets-" *She says flatly* "I want you dead for personal reasons!" *She says in a perfect Abridged Baeber imitation as she wipes out her remaining AP with Barrier 3, erecting a 3 layer barrier around herself to block the attacks. But then? She's gonna blow a mother fucker up. A second barrier appears right around the Heartless and is immediately reinforced with her magic containment rings and is quickly filled with rapidly expanding, incredibly hot neutral magic while the barrier and ring rapidly shrink and compress it until it straight up fucking explode in a gorgeous blast of rainbow energy, probably earning her the favor of Iris in the process. If that didn't kill it... Well she was probably screwed-*
```AP: 0%
MP: 0% 
Barrier 3: 7650.72
Starbomb: 8288.28```
Donald
The Orcus casted the strongest magic it had, seeing it be stopped by the barrier Xion erected. It used that chance to get up from it's prone position and swing it's sword defiantly, if it was going to die it was going to die fighting. The Heartless would look around and see that a barrier appeared around itself, guessing that this part of Xion's spell. Raising a hand out towards the barrier, it casted the strongest spell it could muster with it's nearly drained MP that being Thunder. 

The resulting rainbow explosion obscured the vison of everyone present, leaving everyone and the audience in a deafening silence. Once it cleared, Xion could see the what remained of the heartless was a crystal heart rising into the sky, winning the battle. The entire audience went wild with cheering loving the show and the mystery person's performance. 

`Thunder: 2,898`
Christina
*And with that, Xion flops to the ground, completely exhausted. She didn't expect that to be so hard. But it's fine. She could deal with it. After a minute of resting, she shakily drags herself to her feet and uses her Keyblade as a crutch to drag herself to the stands* "That... Was awesome... But absolutely exhausting on my magic..."
Melissa
"Wow! I'm impressed. You managed to clear this on your first run though! Not even Herc managed to do such a thing!"

Phil would say as we walked onto the broken arena grounds, accompanied by 2 other satyrs. 

"Speaking of which, for beating those two, ya got two options of weapons you can have if you want 'em."

__Option 1__
Electric Lash(Lv. 2): A whip created from a spare electrode of Experiment 221. Boasts High Speed and Magic Power.
STR: x1.5
DEF: x1.5
MAG: x2.5
SPD: x3

__Option 2__
Orcus Thunderblade(Lv 2): The greatsword commonly wielded by the Orcus variant of Heartless, it is blessed with the natural power of Thunder. Boasts High Strength and Magic.
STR: x2.5
DEF: x1.5
MAG: x3
SPD: x1.5
Thunder Boost
Christina
"I'll take the sword. Whip has range but its way too much of a pain to get used to. Though I'm curious... Is there a way to reforge the sword to a different shape with the same properties? I have a general shape in mind and can provide the extra materials for it. If I'm not mistaken, you guys have a god of the forge. Maybe I can try talking it out with him?"
Melissa
"Hmm... Interesting. Never really thought about that. You can go an' ask him, but he's usually holed up in that volcano of his working with the cyclops brothers on one thing or another." 

Phil would say and have the sword given to her, while the whip was taken back to the area where the weapons were stored.
Christina
"Neat. You're pretty connected to the gods, right? Think you can get me a ride ot something to his volcano? I'm not really from here so I got like... No idea where anything is."
Melissa
"I can if you're willing to sit in a volcano full o' giant men. Though you may want to come back for that later."

Phil would say and point his thumb at the destroyed arena. 

"I gotta burn some favors with him to get this place fixed up again. Should be fine after a few days though."
Christina
*She shrugs* "I got nothing better to do. Still figuring out the whole Keyblade thing and whatnot. Maybe I can make some kinda sacrificial offering to him that includes the sword and drawing of the shape and size of what I want it to look like? I plan on claiming some kinda trophy from my bigger enemies every time as loot so I'll probably be returning here whenever I can. I also don't really know how the whole sacrifice thing works."
Melissa
"Ehh, I recommend not getting into the whole sacrificing thing. It's a messy process that no one likes to do, unless you like gutting small to medium animals." 

Phil waved it off and thought about it some more. 

"Give me a few days and Hephaestus should be down here himself so you can ask 'em in person."
Christina
*She shrugs* "Alright. I can do that. Not much on the killing of innocent and adorable animals. Guess I'll just chill til he gets here." *She says as she walks off*
Maggie
*Zavius walks around the Coliseum area. He is looking for something of interest here, hearing many stories of many heroic battles taken place here by both hero and villian alike. Perhaps he too would eventrually have his moment in a fight here. But he had came here to find work, not really to fight like a galdiator.*
Judy
"Looks like we got a new person for the Games." 

As Zavius walked around, a black cloud of fire and brimstone would appear beside him and a Lord of the Underworld Hades himself appeared. 

"Sadly, the Colosseum is under... Repairs as one can say. Unless you're hear for something else."
Maggie
"Oh wow, um, well, I am new here. Though I am looking for work, perhaps you may have some I can help out with."
*He says as he turns to look at the figure with the blue hair.*
"I'm Zavius Dark, who might you be?"
Judy
"Hmm... Looking for work huh...? I could give you a few odd jobs here and there..." 

Hades would say and rub his chin and laughed a little. 

"Oh me? I'm Hades, Lord of the Underworld... King of the Dead that whole shebang. You must not be from around here if you don't know this pretty face."
Maggie
"Oh, well, it is not every day one meets you I assume. I should be honored to say the least. Though all my friends abandounded me for my crazy thinking of wanting to gain power on Olympus in my own way. Instead of like, you know, being morally driven to following the light."
*He says with a bit of annoyance.*
"So um, what did you have in mind, King of the Dead?"
Judy
"Well, before we get to what *I* Had in mind, let's see what you want and work from there. I am a people pleaser after all." 

Hades would say with some flare in his voice before putting his hand under his chin and looking Zavius over. 

"Besides you look pretty scrawny for alot of my grander plans."
Maggie
"Well I would tell you my whole life story but I don't think that is what you meant by had in mind. So to cut the story short, I lost my home, I lost my friends, I am currently but a solo soul trying to grow strong so I can become a serious inflence of sorts in the grander scheme of things. Whether that means extreme suffering or doing many simple chores is not really my choice. But I prefer not to die outright if possible, and I don't care what kind of work I do as long as it works in strengthening my overall being."
Judy
"Good, I rather not hear *Another* Origin story, get 'em all the time in the underworld." 

Hades would say and roll his eyes at remembering every sob story in the book he got on the daily. But heaving to Zavius' intentions did give him an idea. 

"Well, I can't have you going out and dying. So I can't give you the jobs I *Really* Need done. So I'll start you off with something small and see if you are fit for the job. You've heard of the Colosseum right? Getting fodder Heartless is an overlooked but essentially detail of keeping the Games in order. So, I will send you to collect weak Heartless; Shadows, Soldiers, Arias, yadda yadda. Think you can handle that?"
Maggie
"Sounds like the best job for a warrior of sorts like myself. I will get the heartless you need for the Colosseum."
*He says this with confidence as he now thinks about how he will find said heartless.*
Judy
"That should give you more combat options to get your feet wet, so to speak. You do know how to leave this world right? Go out and collect some from different worlds, the crowd goes wild for foreign monsters being brought here."
Maggie
"Oh right, I have my own Gummi ship. I just need to figure out how to capture and transport the heartless here after knocking them out."
*He says as he thinks about the idea of hunting down heartless.*
"So how many do you think you will be needing and how much time would I have to bring them here?"
Judy
"Let's see... If you just getting out there... I'll make it easy and say 5 Heartless, they can even be Shadows. As for transporting them, I'll lend you these two morons and they'll bring them back."

Hades would snap his fingers and a cloud of black smoke would erupt near his feet. What stood there were two small demonic looking entities.
Breanna
"W-What do you need Lord Hades?"

The both of them would immedately stand up give a small salute.
Judy
"You two, go along with Zavius here and bring back any Heatless he beats for the Games."
Maggie
"Oh, well, I think that can work out. I will get you your heartless Hades. Though, who are these two, strange creatures?"
*He says as he looks at them a bit from where he was standing. He seems to have a look of curriosity.*
Judy
"These two dimwits are my minions. The corpulant one is Pain and the lanky one is Panic. Both of them are Daemons, not demons so don't get that minute detail mixed up." 

Hades would say dismissively with a wave of his hand.
Breanna
"You hear that? Hades called me corpulant. That means that *I'm* In charge of this operation." 

Pain would say with some pride in his voice before Panic hit him on the head with a fist. 

"That's Corporal you moron!"
Maggie
"I think I might have overestimated my luck a bit."
*He says sarcastically as he looks over the two given to help him with his new task.*
"Pain, panic. It seems we will be working together a bit. Though something tells me you two will be trouble. You best behave yourselves and help me out with handling any transportation problems."
Breanna
"Behave?? *We're* Your superiors greenhorn!" 

Panic would say and stomp his foot on the ground in annoyance.
Judy
"**Yes... Now you all have fun. I have things to attend to...**" 

Hades would say and then snap his fingers, vanishing in a cloud of black smoke once more.
Maggie
"Well I guess I am under you two for the time being, since your more knowlegable on heartless capturing."
*He says not being sorry about calling them trouble.*
Donald
Ah I thought you wanted to end it there
Janice
I need help deciding where to go first with pain and panic. Unless you merely suggest just pinging you at a random world later.

You did say they were in charge

I'm kind of a intern contractor with Zavius.
