The Binary man cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. "So as you are all now aware, The Game-for lack of a better term- is literally going to simulate a Battleground similar to a virtual reality fighting game would. The closest thing I can think of is the Brain Burst game from the fictional anime show 'Accel World'. For those of you who don't know what the heck that is, think Street Fighter with a level up system where the fights are set in a simulated reality."<br/><br/>JD couldn't help but ask a question at that. "Wait... a level up system? what would we acquire for leveling up?"<br/><br/>"Another ability to add to your own at present. you will all be allowed to spectate these matches, and frankly if you want to place bets, that's not my problem."<br/><br/>"Hey... um... sorry about... you know... trying to kill you before." Rukia suddenly apologized to the GM. He smiled at her. "Considering the circumstances, I don't blame you. And I am sorry you had to go through all this."<br/><br/>"Now then, shall we draw straws to see who goes first?" HellMaster Phibrizzo asked. "This should be fun!"<br/><br/>In the end the first to go was the Hellmaster, and all of the people present found the glass breaking effect show up like it had during the Arcomovani game servers. Phibrizzo found himself facing off against:<br/><br/>None other than Alexander Anderson. "Praise to our Lord! Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We are nothing more than dust, and to the dust we shall return. Amen!" The regenerator said, pulling his swords from his sleeves and raising his arms to a T as he walked slowly towards the Monster Lord.<br/><br/>Phibrizzo visibly paled, but otherwise smirked and chuckled, which was an odd combination. "Well well well... the dog of the Vatican! Do you even know who your up against?" the Monster Lord asked.<br/><br/>"A wee pint sized lad with power over death itself. Quite an opponent I would say. Considering we both know that body of yours is just a farce, I don't think you realize what exactly it is YOU are up against!" Alexander said, edging ever closer. Phibrizzo raised his hand and snapped, a small golden orb in his hand. "Tell you what I'm gonna do. I'll give you three seconds, and when they're gone, one of us walks out of here with a new soul in their collection, or we both walk out and you agree that the world imploding is a bad thing even with all the evils it possesses."<br/><br/>"You are sorely mistaken ya little pint. You think there isn't a reason we want this world to die? There's more than one way to kill something with kindness! Besides, if there wasn't a reason, we'd all be stupid enough to help you heathens! Now then... BURN IN HELL YOU HEATHENISTIC MONSTROSITY!" Anderson shouted as he charged. Hellmaster Phibrizzo vanished into the Astral Plain and reappeared in the air out of reach as he summoned none other than the Greek Hellhound Cerberus.<br/><br/>"Now then, If you can regenerate," the Hellmaster said, "I guess I have to incinerate all of you at once... repeatedly! OH CERBERUS! be a dear and annihilate this bastard for me?"<br/><br/>Several screams later as the unquenchable fire burned Alexander alive, and a large "Winner, HellMaster Phibrizzo!" appeared in the air as they were all sent back to the cabin. JD slapped Lucile aka Phibrizzo on the back. "Congrats, ma-gir-uhhhh... what do I even... I'm sorry... heh."<br/><br/>"Awkward!" Ichigo joked to Rukia. Rukia wasn't paying attention as Lucile backhanded JD and said something along the lines of, "If I didn't know better, I'd say you were sexist." then proceeded to glow and when he was done he had what looked like a flying fish crossed with a machine gun floating around him. "Woah! This is one awesome familiar!" Hellmaster laughed. JD recognised the animal as a 'Magicka 2 familiar' that could actually protect you by firing bullets in situations where you would normally take damage during the game.<br/><br/>"What did he mean by 'there's more than one way to kill something with kindness'?" Rukia asked. Knowing Doce's strength in the past had been her wisdom and overly complicated thought process, she went over to her and asked again as a whisper.<br/><br/>Kirito decided he'd ask the most obvious question everyone was probably already thinking. "So who wants to fight next?"
