As Arina steps onto the Port Pad, a brilliant white luminating light ignites from beneath her feet.  It's blinding to look at, and it actually disturbs the air about her, causing her silken hair to flutter momentarily.  In the time it took her to shut her eyes in order to keep from going blind, her surroundings had already changed.  As her eyes came back in focus, the landscape that encompassed her recently was replaced...not so much replaced, as gone!<br/><br/>Peering outward, she could see clouds, and a crystal blue sky.  To anyone with a fear of heights, it would be horrifying, but she was on a levitating ring that was situated several stories above the ground!  The ring itself was set up like any other, three bungee-like cords wrapped around a squared arena, with four padded turnbuckles.<br/><br/>On the other side she could see her opponent, apparently waiting for someone to answer the call.  This "Sasha" did seem quite a bit larger in real life.  Her abdomen was incredibly cut with muscle, and her brown, choppy hair was trimmed short.  Her bountiful breasts were held at bay by a high-collared bright red sports bra-like top, and her taut bottom was covered in a pair of athletic underwears of similar color.  Being that she obtained the enjoyment of having a bit more clothing then Arina, it was safe to assume that this opponent was most possibly of Y, or even X rank.<br/><br/>"All right, about time!  So someone took my challenge.  Hmm...you don't look like much, but I guess you'll do.  I need to start building up my credits after all.  No doubt I'll get some good tips for feeding you to the creatures down there..." the muscular girl said in a most mocking tone.  However, if Arina took the time to look, she would notice that there was...movement below the ring.  Creatures were down there, metal-like beings of some sort.<br/><br/>Before she could think too much, a figure suddenly materialized in the middle of the ring.  Thought it was just a hologram, the figure looked so real that you could just touch her.  It was actually a very scantily dressed catgirl, in a get up similar to a referee's stripes, only the bikini top barely managed to cover her breasts, while the loin-cloth bottom trailed down to her knees.  A thin tail swayed behind her.  "Allllll right everyone, lets have a good, clean match!  Ready?  GO!"<br/><br/><strong>Start: 36</strong>http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=376345
