*Twilight town is a buzz with crowds if people all over talking, laughing, having a great time. And why wouldn't they? Not only is today the big Struggle tournament, it's a festival!! The main event of the tournament hasn't started yet, however organizers are setting everything up and are waiting for the participants to arrive.*
Emma
*Awaits the participants*
Ralph
*Mizi was standing at the sandlot with a large coat and hood covering her shadowy body. She had grown alot over the years and taken alot more hearts now it's time for her to take some time to relax*
Brandi
Hearing a tournament called "Struggle" Was a bit alarming at first, but after looking a bit more into it Xerx had found that the tournament was a lot more family friendly than he originally thought and thankfully it was. However, being that it was a tournament that'd bring people from all over, this would be a good chance for him to test his mettle against variously skilled fighters, but also made the tournament exciting in of itself given some people would exceed expectations, some would fail to meet expectations and overall a tournament was good fun. However, with Xerx dawning a cool yet potentially somewhat edgy back coat and the potential reach of the tournament; would he be able to see his friends? Would they recognize each other? While the thought of regrouping with Ika and potentially Mizi and Suke was exciting, Xerx wouldn't hold his breath. They all had gone their separate ways this there was no way of knowing what the others were doing or even if they were still around outside of a slight indescribable internal feeling from the heart almost said through their memories and hearts were they connected in some level. Well philosophical thinking aside, all that was to do next was find where to sign up.. Unless it "Magically" Already happened.
Doug
Suke arrived here as well, she was on her journey slaying Heartless but heard of something going on here. It was a tournament of sorts, so it be interesting to say the least. Since Xerx was wearing a black coat, she didn't recongize him at first and decided to keep to herself for now.
Lydia
Meanwhile, a pink haired girl was seen running into the sandlot before arriving with a bit of exhaustion. "Sorry... Just saw this... Last minute..!!" She said while catching her breath.
Ann
Behind Pinkie were five other people who had entered the area who saw the commotion unfold. "I hope Pinkie Pie knows this has to be taken seriously..." Said the rainbow haired girl who had her hands in her pockets.
Mary
"Don't worry Rainbow, I'm sure she's able to handle the rules of this tournament! Besides what can go wrong?" Said a boy with a green jacket with a black t-shirt.
Michael
"A million things can go wrong Louis... Since she wants to do this alone..." The girl with a cowboy hat and a red button-up shirt mentioned as she crossed her arms.
Crystal
*Micah would arrive and stand off to the side, watching everyone else as of he was scouting the competition - which he was.*
Emma
*The announcer called all the participants over, going over the rules and how it works for those who didn't know them.* "Okay, that should be all. I will say that two participants had to drop out, but that's fine because plenty of others had been waiting and hoping for a spot. Remember at any point if you are not available for your match or wish to drop out you can be disqualified. Now to the brackets. It looks like first we have... Xerx against Seifer!"
Lydia
Pinkie nodded to what the announcer said before getting back to her friends that were spectators in the tournament. She sat down and smiled. "As Twilight would say, study your opponents movements and skills first—"
Ann
"And plan a strategy against them. Hope you can make it through the tournament Pinkie... Because Twilight put it in your hands for us..." The rainbow haired girl said as the girl sighed.
Jeff
~~here is the bracket btw~~
Brandi
Seeing that he was up first against a man named seifer, all Xerx could do was prepare himself and for the most part he was ready he had come here ready. After suiting up, he'd make his way to the arena where the match would start.
Ralph
*Mizi stayed quiet as she prepared to watch the first match, the tall heartless girl would wait and study her opponents*
Crystal
*He would quietly watch, listening in on those around him.*
Donald
*Seifer would suit up as well, walking up on the arena and staring down Xerx.* "Outsiders should learn to stay out! This is our town, not yours."
Brandi
Hearing his opponent call him out, Xerx was a bit confused, but decided to not hold it against his opponent, but he would egg him on a bit. 

"Outsider or not, let's have fun and kick each other's asses " 

He paused And pointed his had at Seifer.

"Show me your moves."
Emma
"Looks like Seifer is out to prove he is the best in this town. However Xerx doesn't look like he is going to let that scare him! The match is about to begin! Let's Struggle!!!"
Donald
*Seifer stood and waited for Xerx's first move.*
Brandi
With the match now beginning and Seifer unmoving, it was up to Xerx to make the first move which he'd oblige. Fire erupted from around his.Body before the male lunged forwards with his struggle bat at the.Fmready to not only crash into.His opponent via fire dash but also to jab or whack Seifer unless he could dodge or block the attacks.

Strength: 53

Speed: 122

Struggle orbs: 100/100
Donald
*Seifer didn't expect the dash to be so quick. His own reflexes would be too slow as he had to take the hit, orbs flying from him to the ground off of his suit. Seifer quickly would retaliate though, swinging at Xerx rapidly.*

***No Mercy: 48
Orbs 90/100***
Brandi
"You're too slow!"

Soni— er Xerx would playfully taunt as he watched the attack coming towards him and quickly attempted to avoid the attack to instead collect the orbs scattered around unless he was unable to in which case he'd just switch back to more offensive tactics. Even if he were to drop orbs from a hit, this game was about giving a hit without taking one and then leaves you vulnerable when tryng to collect said orbs.

Basic dodge: 81
