"Shut it!" *Seifer was pretty slow when compared to Xerx. Seifer was in over his head, but that wouldn't stop him from proving himself. Seifer would then jump in the air and the rocket down at Xerx.*

***Rocket: 90***
Brandi
With Seifer taking to the air with intentions of going for a direct attack, Xerx had a slight advantage in speed and knowing Seifer's target, what goes up must come down right? Unless Seifer was holding back in the speed department, Xerx would bait the attack in hopes of closing out the match with a combo that wouldn't only deal a massive deal to Seifer's orbs, but it's also fill the area with orbs which would hopefully get Seifer to prioritize orb retrieval over fighting. Though if Xerx was quicker than Seifer then he'd probably be able to go on the defensive avoiding the hometown"Hero" While collecting more orbs. 

"Hope you're ready."

Counter

Xerx would give some condolence before springing his plan. BOOM!! A slight plume of smoke/dirt/debris would kick up around the struck area from Seifer's attack, but it seemingly grew? Where was Xerx? Had he been hit? Only one person would know in the moment; that being Seifer. After baiting out the attack Xerx attempted to dodge via dodge slash, a quick burst of movement to avoid the attack and hopefully land a horizontal counterattack on the potentially recovering Seifer.

If landed, the attack would immediately be followed by a rotation of Xerx's wrist rotating the struggle back clockwise into a diagonal "2 o'clock" Position before being brought diagonally downwards swiftly with Xerx's shifting his off leg and foot forwards he'd attempt to deliver the finishing combo. With his bat now by his side Xerx would attempt to deliver a swift Slapshot to close the distance if Seifer had moved or avoided the first two attacks, but the final attack would be an attempted knock back via finishing plus. If this combo landed it'd hopefully put the match heavily in Xerx's favor, but would it pay off? If all went to plan the crowd would only see struggle orbs liter the field with the smoke settling revealing Seifer moving backwards. Obviously the attacks were heavily restricted as again no one was seriously trying to kill people... Hopefully. But throughout the match Xerx's face would've been revealed to Mizi who may have still had memories of their time together on the island; he, her, and ika all training under Master Aria. Though that aside, would Seifer have counters? Would Xerx's fail his finishing combo attempt? What would happen next?.

*Seifer didn't really expect his attack to be dodged so easily and would wnd up going being confused through the dust that was kicked up. Before he knew it he would be stuck in a combo of strikes before being sent to the ground, multiple orbs flying everywhere around the arena. The the small amount of dust cleared, Seifer would be laying on the ground on his back, staring to the sky.*
Emma
"W-what happened? Well, it seems Seifer has taken a very powerful blow! He would have to work incredibly hard if he wanted to win this in time!"
Donald
*Seifer stood up, looking over at Xerx. He'd shrug and toss his struggle back to the ground and begin to walk out of the arena, quitting the rest of the match.*
Emma
"Oh! It looks like Seifer is letting Xerx have the win! The winner of the first round is Xerx!!!!"
Stephanie
*The crowd around the arena would cheer now for Xerx, being impressed with his fighting skills.*
Lydia
Pinkie Pie and the others had watched the whole match happen and gulped at the sudden way Seifer had given up after many attacks. "This guy means business!!"
Ann
"You better win this Pinkie Pie, we are routing for you!" Rainbow Dash slapped Pinkie's back softly and laughed. "But your unpredictable too! Just think about your tactics!"
Lydia
"Right!! Lets get this party started!!" Pinkie Pie stood up, before bending her legs down and up in excitement. She couldn't wait much longer.
Ralph
*She didnt remember his face simply staying in her seat, that match was interesting but it was a shame that it was over so fast*
Doug
"Way to go Xerx." 

Suke wasn't sure how people reaxt in this scenario, but she tried to cheer him on like she figured Ikazuchi would in this situation.
Brandi
Xerx honestly felt bad for Seifer as Xerx didn't want to just beat him, he wanted the match to be enjoyable for both parties, but unfortunately things didn't go that smoothly thus Seifer marched off in shame which was understandable and before Xerx could say anything the announcer and crowd would erupt into cheers leaving Xerx to wave hesitantly before stepping off to allow the next match to begin. Throughout the crowd he heard a familiar voice and attempted to find Suke where if he did, meaning if he found her and she wasn't called up, Xerx would make his way over with a stunned but relieved look on his face to see a friend after so long. 

"SUKE! I can't believe you're here! It's great to see you!"

He greeted her sincerely as what he said was true, but it was still surprising to see her here
Crystal
He nodded slightly in appreciation of Xerx's fighting skills, waiting for the announcer to call his match.
Emma
"Next match we have Pinkie Pie against Micah! Both participants, please prepare yourselves and make your way into the arena!"
Crystal
Micah walked up to the arena, struggle bat in hand, sizing up his opponent.
Lydia
Pinkie Pie began to stretch out her body a bit, before equipping her Struggle Suit and Struggle Bat, which afterwards she began to jump into the arena with a big leap and landed gracefully onto the platform with her knees bending down a bit after the landing. She slowly stood up and smiled brightly.
Crystal
He raised an eyebrow, but said nothing and stepped into the arena with her.
Emma
"If both participants are ready then, Let's Struggle!!!!" *The crowd yelled along with the announcer, thus starting the match.*
Crystal
*Micah got into a defensive position, watching and waiting for her to make the first move.*
Lydia
Pinkie Pie would of began to run towards Micah, but as she got close to her opponent, Pinkie then tried a strange ideal plan. The first thing she tried to do was smacking the ground hard enough to make a dust cloud occur into Micah's face to not just make him blinded, but to try and distract him before she went to the right side of Micah and tried to perform a Quick Blitz towards the right side of Micah's body to try and knock orbs out of him. Pinkie wasn't a force to be messing with.

Quick Blitz: 16 x (1 + 1.5) = 40
Crystal
*Startled by the dust cloud and unable to see his opponent, Micah would dodge away and try to get out of that area.*

Dodge roll: 25 x (1.5 + 2.5) = 100
Lydia
Pinkie Pie would of seen Micah dodge the attack but slid to a stop and changed her feet movement in order to run at him again. This time she went with a Quick Slash towards Micah with an added Finishing Plus to attempt an uppercut motion into Micah's chin.

Quick Slash: 16 x (2.5 + 1) = 56
Finishing Plus: 16 x (3 + 1) = 64
Crystal
*Micah would dodge again, this time using sliding dash to not only avoid her attack, but try to hit her back as well, aiming for her legs.*

Speed: 100
Strength: 60
Lydia
Editing message:
Pinkie smirked as while she was hit by her legs, her open hand landed on the ground as Pinkie jumped back onto her feet. She then used the brief time to use Thunder Surge to try and zap him and get some orbs out of his suit.

Thunder Surge: 32 x (1.5 + 2.5) = 128
Crystal
"Ugh!" *Knowing he couldn't dodge this one, he would take the chance to grab a few of the orbs she had dropped. Then he jumped into the air and used magic pulse.*

Speed: 100
Magic: 63
Orbs: 95
Lydia
Pinkie Pie smirked as she ran after some orbs Micah had dropped on the floor to grab them. She then saw the incoming Magic Pulse and realized something. For now Pinkie chose to block the incoming Magic Pulse as hard as she could. Afterwards, Pinkie Pie made her Struggle Bat glow yellow before trying another Thunder Surge to try and knock Micah away from her.

Block: 23 x (1.5 + 3) = 103.5
Thunder Surge: 128
Orbs: 95
Crystal
*Cursing as he was hit again, Micah used another sliding dash to get in and hit her, then backed away to grab more orbs.*

Speed: 100
Strength: 60
Orbs: 90
Lydia
Pinkie Pie then inhaled softly and exhaled before she slammed her Struggle Bat against the Sliding Dash in the form of a Block. Her eyes glow brightly slightly as Pinkie tried to retaliate with a Quick Slash towards Micah's legs to try and trip him while running around to get more orbs as well.

Block 1: 103.5
Quick Slash: 92
Orbs: 90
Crystal
He quickly dodged out of the way again, and used another magic pulse after grabbing a few more orbs.

Speed: 100 
Magic: 63
Orbs: 95
