				<div align="center">(http://i48.tinypic.com/1zbb4o0.jpg)</div><br><div class="floatleft">(http://i46.tinypic.com/oidg5i.jpg)</div><div style="text-align: right;">The arena was abuzz with activity, demons filling the stands and chanting for blood. There were no humans to be found in the stands. Anyone 'in the know' enough to have access to The Dark Tournament was also rich enough to afford a box seat. It was just as well, as the crowd didn't care much for humans. Like the hotel, the arena didn't want for amenities. Numerous shops and snack bars selling treats both normal and bizzare lined the concourse. Each team would get it's own locker room, though for the fights they'd be standing right next to the ring as their comrades battled. The ring itself was circular and made of solid stone; no ropes, no mats, nothing at all. Just a solid surface and nothing to stop a fighter from going flying out and onto the grass (or through a wall). It didn't take long for Koto, the foxgirl emcee sitting by the sidelines to pipe up.<br><br>&nbsp;"Greetings violence lovers and connoisseurs of concussions! I am, as always, the lovely Koto and I'll be bringing you the beautiful blow by blow of this years Dark Tournament! We're back, baby! Our mysterious benefactors have restored the island good as new! Though I really hope we'll get to see some wanton destruction just as we did last time! Sadly, I'm still relegated to the sidelines, but the capable Juri will be officiating the matches! Today's match proves to be an exciting one, as we've got some real superstars in the lineup The returning Chu and Rinku have fans all over Demon World and the newcomers Team Genkou have some serious buzz! But enough of that, I bet you all are thirsty for some blood! Say hello to the boys, Juri!"</div><br><br><div class="floatright">(http://i49.tinypic.com/208a8oi.jpg)</div><br><br><br><div style="text-align: left;">Attention turned to the aqua-haired lizard girl standing in the middle of the ring. She smiled to the crowd and lifted her arm in the air, inviting the audience to cheer her on more, which they promptly did. Juri raised her mic and shouted out to the crowd, "Hello Demons are you ready for some violence?" the question was answered with another thunderous cheer. "Welcome back to The Dark Tournament! Let's go over the rules! Five members per team, match victories are decided by team captains, though best of five is traditional. If you die, you lose. If you stay down or out of the ring for ten seconds, you lose. If your team cannot submit an eligible fighter when required, you lose. As always, the winner of The Dark Tournament will have any wish they desire! One for each (surviving) team member! Now, without further ado.." Juri made a sweeping motion to her left, "On my left, Team Chu!" The rowdy Team Chu posed for the crowd, their leader grinning and cheering himself on the loudest. "And on my right, Team Genkou! Captains, get in here and decide match terms!"</div><br>

				<div class="floatleft">(http://oi45.tinypic.com/359n4o4.jpg)</div> <strong>Senshin Genkou, Team Genkou</strong><br>Senshin had joined his team and stood silent through the introduction, not caring much to make a pose like the other team when they were introduced. The spectacle in this show hadn't shrunk in the slightest. When the captains were called to the arena he met Chu in the center and offered his hand before he thought of what kind of fighting they were to have. "The best of five sounds the better option to me", he said shrugging. Looking back at his team he didn't doubt they could handle team Chu, and he was more than interested in Chu and his child companions powers. And more so, gaining those powers. He looked around at the arena and couldn't help but wonder if it was going to be in good condition when the new tournament was over.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i49.tinypic.com/2jbr3vk.jpg)</div>Chu reeked of booze. It was an aura that hung around him. He brought a bottle containing some kind of clear liquid with him up to the ring and listened to his opponent talk. He laughed and raised the bottle, "Fine enough by me, kiddo! It looks ta be a real ripsnorter of a contest! Go figure out who you wanna send up first, I'm gonna go get good and drunk!" Chu turned and strode back across the ring, halting at Juri. He grinned and leaned in, looping an arm around her waist, "Hey, baby! How's about after I win this thing you an' me go out for a drink?" The ring girl shrieked, plugged her nose and smacked the drunkard across the face. Chu straightened up, grinning. He clapped a hand to his cheek. "I think she likes me!" Outside the ring, Rinku rolled his eyes. Chu hopped out and swaggered to the back wall where he settled into a lazy slouch and resumed drinking. The rest of his team talked amongst themselves a moment before deciding to send up Souketsu. <br><br>"Best of three are the terms! First fighter up for Team Chu, Soketsu!" She waved to the approaching fighter, whom grinned as the crowd cheered. Juri motioned to Team Genkou, "Team Genkou, your fighter please!"

				<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Nicodemus</strong></span><br><br>Nicodemus soared in shortly from the ceiling shortly before most of his team had come out.&nbsp; He quickly looked over his opponents for the match not deciding if he wanted to challenge any person in particular. When the opposing team announced their opponent Nicodemus decided that he was not going first and quietly waited on the side lines for the match to begin so He could see what his teammates could do.

He pulled, from his sleeve, a small die that only had five numbers on it that he'd had specially made for this occasion. "Whosoever's number this lands on will fight, no objections", he said as he glanced a look to them all. He tossed the die on the ground and waited for it to settle, "2", he said glancing to Lilith. "Seems you'll be kicking us off, my dear. If you win...", he began. "I might just make it worth your while", he smirked to her and stepped to the side, waiting for her to head out and not expecting a hard fight. She was more than capable.

He wasn't wasting time. He leaned forward.. and was gone! After-images of the demon appeared en masse as he darted around the ring at super speed. All of the images seemed to be laughing in a taunting manner, "Hah! I've heard of you, Lilith! But if you think I'm going to let some seductress with nice cans sway me, you're sadly mistaken!" All the images suddenly seemed to disappear and the real Souketsu was suddenly in front of Lilith, unleashing a rapid barrage of punches at the demoness' stomach and face. <br><br><div align="center"><strong>2d20 Results: Miss</strong><br>At 2012-07-11 18:37:23, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 14 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39458)<br>At 2012-07-11 18:37:16, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 9 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39457)</div>

Souketsu growled and pulled himself up to his feet after a three count by Juri, spitting blood. The demon launched himself from the stands, growling with rage. He attacked Lilith from seemingly every side, feinting blows left right and center before finally slashing out at her chest with his claws, aiming to scar that lovely bosom of hers.<br><br><div style="text-align: right;"><strong>2d20 Results: Up (3-count)</strong><br>At 2012-07-11 19:45:45, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 19 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39467)<br>At 2012-07-11 19:43:35, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 11 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39466)<br>At 2012-07-11 19:43:29, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 7 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39465)<br><br><strong>2d20 Results: Miss</strong><br>At 2012-07-11 19:47:33, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 2 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39468)<br>At 2012-07-11 19:47:39, Souketsu (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 9 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39469)</div>

"..two! ...three!" His clawed hands gripped at the arena floor and the demon gritted his teeth as he pulled himself up - but the earlier wound Lilith had made ached and burned, causing him great pain. He passed out on the arena floor, out cold. "...FIVE!" Juri waved over at the fallen Lilith, "Winner... uh... despite falling... Team Genkou!"

He even let a small smile cross his face when she through his into the stands. Lilith was surprisingly fun in a fight, he'd made an excellent choice bringing her with him. Though the man she fought was no doubt the weakest of the team, though it was still no small feat. When she came over to him he gripped the back of her head and brought her into a hard kiss, feeling a bit of power leak into her mouth, though it was a barely noticeable amount. During the kiss he moved a hand down and grabbed onto her butt cheek, which the crowd had gotten a great view of earlier. "A deal's a deal", he said when he broke the kiss, she would get what she wanted and if she continued to win she would continue getting it.

				<span class="bbc_u">Ri'Staraa - Team Genkou</span><br><br>Ri gasped as Nicodemus went down. This fight hadn't gone at all as expected - the little demon brat must have had some tricks up his sleeves. He ran to his teammate to make sure he wasn't mortally wounded and then turned towards Senshin, a veritable fire in his eyes. He hoped that his team leader would chose him to go next, though he wouldn't say so unless asked. A lot of pressure was riding on this next battle and he knew better than to rush blindly out and claim it for himself when Senshin might have other plans in mind.

				Rinku grinned and waved to the cheering crowd as Juri announced, gesturing towards the child, "Winner of round two, Rinku!" Koto was beaming with excitement over in her little area, "Wow, folks! That one was a real nail biter right up until the end! I looks like Rinku's managed to carry home the win for his team and tie things up! Let's see who's coming up next!" His part over, Rinku started walking out of the ring while casting a little healing upon his wounds. He hopped out of the ring and re-joined his team, the other demons congratulating him. The victory had been needed after Souketsu's poor showing. <br><br>"Next fighers to the ring please!" said Juri. Enki's hearty laugh filled the air and his voice boomed, "Let me handle this round! I can bring us another win, I'm sure of it!" He laughed joyfully, lumbering up to the ring. The gentle giant came to the center with a big smile on his face, hands upon his hips. He called out to Team Genkou, "Hey! Take it easy on me, whoever's next! I haven't fought in a while now!" He laughed.

He assumed it was either his elemental affinity or speed, but until the fight began, he couldn't be sure.

This puzzled the young middle eastern boy and he turned to his teammates, Senshin and Lilith, specifically. "So I take it Enki is more then he seems?" He asked, looking back to the other people in team Chu. "What can you tell me about... her... then?" With only the leader and the female left, it was fairly obvious to Ri who he might be going up against and he was hoping to get some advice from his well-seasoned teammates. <br><br>Knowledge was power, no matter your race. And it looks like the team that Genkou was fighting against today had reputations abound. If he could tap into some info and prepare for his fight, he would be far better off coming in to things. Being a newbie also played to his advantage, as hardly anyone in the tournament even knew who he was. He hoped to use this first fight to make a thunderous first impression and leave any others later in the tournament with opponents cowering in fear. Then again... it was also wise to keep at least a few more tricks up his sleeve...<br><br>He rubbed his boyish chin thoughtfully and kept his eyes on the two locked in battle.

His attention was drawn though when Ri started asking about the other two. "The woman is Enki's wife, she is very strong", he said looking over to her. "I hear she has strength very similar to that of her husband and is even faster. She's very powerful to say the least", he said folding his arms. "Chu...Chu is incredibly strong. Though he acts like a lecherous fool he carries a massive talent for fighting while intoxicated. It's suiting to who he is if you ask me", he said shrugging.<br><br>"If anyone you would have a better time fighting the woman", he said as he looked over at Chu, who was still asleep against the wall.

He took the wind slash full on and the impact knocked the big demon back a few feet, bringing his heels to the edge of the ring before he managed to stop himself. He gritted his teeth a moment, then grinned. "Aha! You're fun! I think it's time to get serious now, what do you say?" The massive demon let out a roar and stood up to his full height, his demon energy flexing, surrounding him with a devilish aura that made him glow red. Simply flexing his power caused the stadium to rumble uneasily. Enki raised his club, swung it over his head and brought it down with earth splitting force upon the arena floor, the ring cracking and slashes of Enki's red energy splitting free. If Tatsuya didn't evade the attack the energy would slice him neatly in half. Demons in the crowd were starting to panic a little, getting a tad scared of the energy these two were throwing off. <br><br><div style="text-align: right;"><strong>2d20 Results: 2 Hits</strong><br>At 2012-07-14 20:24:03, Rinku (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 16 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39658)<br>At 2012-07-14 20:23:57, Rinku (uid: 35718) rolls: 1d20 Result: 18 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=39657)</div>

The man was amusing to say the least. Without looking to his teammates he walked onto the stage as well, "I suppose I can entertain you, Chu", he said as he stood parallel from the inebriated man. He drew his sword from it's protective sheath and held it pointing towards the ground, "I'm looking forward to seeing how well you do against me", he said keeping an emotionless face throughout. <br><br>Some demons were laughing as Chu wobbled around but Senshin was well aware of how he fought and didn't let his guard down.

She was sitting on the railing just in front of the first row of seats, umbrella open and shading her from the sun. She was also blocking the view of a number of demons behind her, but they knew better. She announced her presence with a low whistle as Tatsuya left. "Bloody shame 'bout you lot, innit? Always breaks me heart to see a team start ta fracture like that. Ain't gonna make it to the finals like that. 'Specially with so many people out to take the head of yer Captain an' all that." She grinned impishly and gave her umbrella a little twirl. Under the shade of her umbrella and hat her eyes were practically hidden from view, but there was a dangerous glint there somewhere.

				Juri blinked. "That was weird. Well, there's only one person left so.. the winner is Team Senshin!" She raised her arm, but the team captain was already walking off. Some people were just poor sports like that. From the sidelines came Koto, "That's it for this team folks! Check 'em out during the next round! Please bear with us as we bring out our next two teams! We have some rubble to pick up! After the arena's cleaned up we're going to have Team Temple versus Team Shinobi!"<br><br>As Senshin walked off, he'd probably feel eyes on him. Enki and Rinku in particular didn't seem too happy with that performance. He would doubtless be seeing them later on.. and not separately, like he'd probably planned on. In fact, the entire arena seemed to be seething with rage, hurling boos and hisses and taunts at Team Genkou. Chu had been an arena favorite. Seeing him lose was one thing, but seeing him murdered was another. Senshin's team wouldn't find the rest of their stay to be easy.

				An hour later, the arena had opened up again with the ring fairly repaired. They'd filled in the holes, at least. Koto's voice announced over the loudspeaker, "Alright people! It's time to get back to the bone-crushing violence! The ring is back in action and we've got two new teams to fight for the championship! Let's take it back to Juri for some introductions!" Gazes shifted over to Juri whom was still at her job despite all the danger. She must get paid quite high! The lizard girl stood in the center of the repaired ring, arm raised. "Welcome back! Let's get the next round underway! On my left, Team Temple!"<br><br>The crowd erupted into a chorus of boos and taunts as Mona's team exited the gate and came to stand beside the ring. The demons were heckling the humans and the so-called 'human lovers' that accompanied them. Team Temple seemed relatively Un-phased by all of this, though Jack was blowing kisses to the crowd. Juri spoke again, "On my right, Team Shinobi Sect!" and on cue, the doors opened to reveal all the members clad in their hooded robes, identities a mystery for the time being. All five members strode out to thundering applause.<br><br><div align="center">(http://i46.tinypic.com/34i62ph.png)</div><br>"Captains, to the center!" announced Juri. Mona strode up to the ring, still clad in what looked like business attire. She calmly stood in front of the Team Shinobi member, the figure clad in a black robe and hood, the hood sporting a green cross upon it. "Standard best of five is fine with me. No need to get fancy." said Mona. "Agreed," the robed fighter replied. They made their way out again and Juri called it out to the crowd, "Standard three win victory conditions! Teams may send up whichever fighters they choose! Teams, please send up your first fighters!"<br><br>"I'll go, allow me." said one of the smaller robed members, his hood sporting a blue circle. A nod from their leader. He discards his robe to reveal a young man, a teenager perhaps, and human. He has short blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The blonde makes his way to the middle of the ring as the Shinobi leader offers a warning, "Be careful Mitarai. I know how much you've trained, but the fighters in this tournament are not to be underestimated." Mitarai smiles and nods in response, "Thank you. I know it's dangerous, but I have to find out how strong I am. I'll never be at peace unless I do." <br><br>"Fighting for Team Shinobi, Kiyoshi Mitarai!"<br><br><div align="center">(http://i45.tinypic.com/mwtzzc.jpg)</div><br>On their side, Team Temple had waited to see who their opponent would bring out before selecting their own fighter. Mona looked over her group with a casual glance, her hands stuffed into her pants pockets. She bobbed her head at Jack, "I think you're the best choice here. Bring home a win." The jolly demon grinned and trotted towards the ring, hopping up onto it. "Bloody hell, I been lookin' forward to this!"<br><br>"Fighting for Team Temple, Jack The Ripper!"<br><br>

				Tatsuya stayed as well as he walked around the stadium to find a seat now that he was clad in full armor once more.&nbsp; He needed to get a clue about the competition and so this was the place.&nbsp; He noticed an empty seat next to Ri and moved to sit next to his team mate.&nbsp; With Senshin's actions it was not wise to be isolated for too long.

				Ri noticed Tatsuya's entrance but wasn't sure how to react after their exchange in the bathroom. He slid his gray eyes up his teammate's now armored form and wondered where exactly his eyes were behind the faceplate. With a sigh, he looked away, knowing that the man's gaze would be likely as unreadable as looking through what he could of the helmet.

				<div align="center"><strong>Team Shinobi Sect vs Team Temple, Round 1</strong></div><div align="center">(http://i50.tinypic.com/v324hy.png)</div><div align="center"><strong>Jack, The Ripper</strong></div><br>"...BEGIN!"<br><br>"I should warn you, if you've heard anything about me... I'm much... much stronger. I've been training. I don't even need the rain! I can make it!" Mitarai smiled and opened his arms wide, the sky over the arena darkening at his command. The clouds opened up and a downpour came over the ring (oddly, just the ring) and soon the water was running off it in little rivers. Juri yelped a little and covered her head. She looked fairly miserable. Jack just watched with a smile, unphased by the bad weather, "Cor blimey. You ain't been to London, have you? This is pretty much the weather there. It's like bein' home. You ain't tryin' to kill me with homesickness, are ya?" The Ripper grinned. Mitarai just shook his head and smiled. "That's not all!" The young fighter drew a thin bladed knife from a sheath at his hip and pricked his finger. He squeezed his hand and blood ran down, falling onto the slick surface of the ring. From that small drop sprouted a little skull-faced creature of water, about a foot high with a rounded body and thin limbs. It was followed by another. Then another. And another. Soon, he had about a dozen of the little creatures surrounding him.<br><br>Jack whistled, impressed. "Neat trick. It's gonna take a little more than 'ard water to beat me, short stuff." said Jack. "We'll see!", countered Mitarai. Driven by the aquatic fighter's own impulses, the tiny creatures launched themselves at Jack as a team, trying to tear at her and claw at her flesh. The Ripper stepped out of the way of every blow, dodging and swaying to the side to avoid each swipe as it came near. She lashed out with her umbrella, scattering one, but it just re-formed and came at her again. Jack grinned and lept backwards, pressing a hidden button on the handle of her umbrella. A massive gout of flames shot from the tip, boiling over the water sprites and evaporating them quickly. <br><br>"Wow! Looks like Jack's umbrella is more than just a keen fashion statement! She totally fried those little water sprites!" announced Koto from the sidelines. However, more just surfaced to replace their fallen comrades. Jack cut them down like a thresher mowing down wheat, multiple sprites falling to every blow or blast of flames. "Bloody 'ell, these things don't give up!" Thinking quickly, the ripper dashed to Juri and hooked an arm around the fish-girl's waist, "Ey, love! Don't mind us! Just keepin' yes from turnin' into a fish fry!" Juri shrieked, Jack leaping high into the air. Above the arena, the Ripper pointed her umbrella down and pressed a hidden switch. The tip shot out at high speed, three claws extending from it and planting into the ring floor. An electric shock ran through the heavy wire connecting it, sending jolts of electricity through the arena floor. All the little sprites burst and disappeared as Mitarai too was shocked. The blonde fighter was knocked off his feet by the blast, sent sprawling onto his back. "I have <strong>GOT</strong> to get me one of those!" observed Koto as Jack came back to the ground and set Juri aside. "That's done. Be a good girl luv an' count the boy ou-"<br><br>"Not yet! ...I won't... be beaten! I can be... stronger!" Jack stood aghast as Mitarai rose from the ground, seemingly on his last legs but unwilling to give. She twirled her umbrella and grinned. "Hell, you should get a medal fer livin' through a shock like that. But don't worry, luv, I can finish ya proper like." She raised her umbrella, a dangerously sharp blade sliding from the tip. Just how many gadgets did the thing contain?! Mitarai tried to launch one final attack, but as he began to summon a larger beast of water a fog began to roll in, courtesy of Jack. It shrouded the ring completely, hiding both fighters and Juri.<br><br>"What <strong>IS</strong> it with this competition and people blocking my view?!" <br><br>There was a sound of fighting from within the fog, blows exchanged back and forth. It was nerve-racking to just listen and not see what was going on! But as the fog cleared away it would reveal Mitarai on his back and Jack pointing the blade of her umbrella at his throat. She grinned triumphantly, "Nobody escapes The Ripper, luv. I could finish ya here right now, but I promised the Detective I'd not to kill 'less I had to. Be a good lad an' surrender, ey?"<br><br>Mitarai looked down with defeat in his eyes. He knew he'd been beaten. He'd grown much, much stronger, but he'd met his match. He looked up, however, with a smile and with hope. Now that he knew the limits of his strength he felt a sense of peace. He nodded his head to Juri, "I yield." The Ripper twirled her umbrella and brought it to rest on her shoulder, striding out of the ring as Juri held her hand high and announced, "Winner, Jack The Ripper! Team Temple takes the point!" <br><br>

				Tatsuya saw the one, Jack, fight, and was clearly impressed with that umbrella, however, he knew that there would be more.&nbsp; He also knew that Ri was still flustered and confused so the armored figure looked at Ri and said one word, "Come."

				Ri'Staraa cocked an eyebrow at Tatsuya's single word. He tossed his head back proudly, clearly challenging him at what seemed to be a command. All kinds of indignant responses ran through the boy's mind then, but he waited to see if his teammate would clarify before doing anything drastic.

				Ri stood up slowly and looked around at the others to see if they understood what was going on. The few demons that were paying attention to the two of them seemed only peeved that they were in their way or causing a verbal distraction. He put his hands in his pockets and cracked his neck to either side; his eyes were closed and he maintained that perpetually annoyed look before he opened them again to stare at Tatsuya. <br>&nbsp;<br>"All right..." he said with a slight nod. "I'll bite." He finished, that mischievous look returning to his cool grey eyes before he walked to the nearest exit. After the sudden stop in the bathroom, he was left wanting to be sure. But he wasn't so certain that he would want to pick up where they left off. He'd have to see how his teammate handled things.

				<div align="center"><strong>Team Shinobi Sect vs Team Temple, Round 2</strong></div><div align="center">(http://i48.tinypic.com/29pp1s1.jpg)</div><div align="center"><strong>Gale Barrows, The Sureshot</strong></div><br>"....BEGIN!"<br><br>Juri announced the start of the next fight, both opponents squaring off against one another in the center of the ring. Jin, the wind master versus Gale, the sure shot. The flame-haired demon was as happy-go-lucky as he ever was, grinning at his opponent while he hovered cross-legged, "Finally another shot at a place of our own! A little piece of heaven it is! No Urameshi here to go boom all in my face, either! Should be excitin' if I say so meself! Well, if'n ya don't mind me, I'll get a wee bit of fresh air before we go round 'n round!" The demon grinned and shot straight up into the air, high above the stadium. Koto looked on and announced, "And there he goes! Jin sure loves heights! I wonder... wait! What's Gale doing?"<br><br>Gale grinned and squinted up into the sky, "Just like she said he would. I'll be damned. C'mon back to earth, little birdie." The marskwoman raised a hand to the sky, squinted into the distance and then snapped her fingers twice. Two tiny energy orbs, barely bigger than a bullet, went screaming into the sky. Jin snapped out his reverie just in time to see the spiritual gunfire headed his way and dodged off to the side, "Good god, the woman's takin' potshots at me! That's hardly fair!" He streaked through the sky, dodging more 'gunfire', each shot seeming to get closer to it's mark. It was hard for Jin to close in, but his agility helped him stay just out of the reach of the shots.&nbsp; "Gale's a living flak cannon! Jin's fighting to stay ahead of those shots! It's like a duck hunt! Albiet the duck is very handsome." <br><br>Down below, Gale grinned again, "Got'cha." She murmured, aimed, and fired. A direct hit! The flame-haired demon dropped from the sky like a stone as the shot passed through his leg. He hit the ring hard, putting a crater in it upon impact. Though like all fighters of his caliber, he was up shortly. "The hell was that! Unfair it was! Ye don't shoot a guy tryin' to get a little sun, missy! It's not sporting!" shouted Jin. Gale shook her head and smirked. She prepared to fire again, but the demon was on her in the blink of an eye, charging in with a hard punch to her gut. The impact knocked Gale back and she went tumbling, obviously unprepared for such a shot. As she rose to one knee she saw Jin charging up his Tornado Fist, the demon forming a miniature tornado around his left arm. Gale aimed at Jin and began to fire, but the demon simply held up his left arm, the shots deflected by the rampaging wind wound around his forearm. He continued to come at her. Gale managed to pull herself up at just the last moment and leap back, but true to it's nature, she didn't need to be close to get hit. The wind generated from the attack launched her backwards and she barely landed on her feet. "God damn!"<br><br>Jin grinned at her, "How'd ya like that, missy? Ain't so fun bein' the one chased is it?" Gale grunted, "Nope. But I'm not done either." The markswoman pulled off her long coat and tossed it to the side. It landed with an impossibly heavy thud, burying itself in the ring a few inches with it's sheer weight. Jin boggled, "You wearin' weighted clothing?!" Gale nodded and grinned, the woman rolling her shoulders a little to loosen up. Undeteered, Jin launched into another attack, soaring at her from across the ring. "That's right, come right at me!" Gale yelled, planting her feet firmly and intercepting the demon head-on. "She's crazy!" marveled Jin as he closed in, aiming to deliver a solid punch!<br><br>It never landed.<br><br>Miraculously, Gale grabbed the redheads arm at the bicep and held him at bay, her sheer strength keeping the demon pinned where he was. The force of wind coming off the tiny tornado whipped up her own red hair, making it flutter behind her. She pulled back her other fist. "Here we go! I heard about this one a few years ago, tell me if I'm doin' it right! Spirit..." The woman's hand glowed blue with spirit energy, particularly bright between her fingers. Jin seemed to blanch as he saw what was coming.<br><br>"SHOTGUN!"<br><br>The explosion was immense. The close-up impact send the demon soaring out of the ring and crashing into the opposite wall. He stared up at the sky a moment, in a daze, "..Dammit.. I thought I got away from that... kid. What's he got... a bloody sister?" And then promptly passed out. Gale grunted and shook her left hand where she'd been holding Jin back. The entire left side of her body ached from the miniature twister she'd practically been kissing. "Damn, that was rough. The Detective's tips worked though, gotta give her that." As she moved to yank her coat from the rocks, Juri finished her ten count and announced the next winner,<br><br>"Winner... Gale Barrows, Team Temple!"

				<div align="center"><strong>Team Shinobi Sect vs Team Temple, Round 3</strong></div><div align="center">(http://i45.tinypic.com/2ynqfxj.png)</div><div align="center"><strong>Reiko Gozen, The Surgeon</strong></div><br>Mona watched Toya take to the ring as she'd expected. She nodded over at her green-skinned ally and remarked, "You know the plan, Reiko. No death. I'm counting on you to win this one. I've got business to take care of." The Detective slid her hands into her pockets and started walking out of the ring. Medusa grinned and tapped her nails against her chest, "If you fail, Reiko, let me take care of him. He's rather cute." The darker-skinned demon shook her head and stuck her tongue out, "No failure. Plan is perfect." She lept into the ring and stood across from Toya with a grin on her face. <br><br>"...and fighting for Team Temple, Reiko!" Juri raised her hand, eyed both fighters, then stepped backwards. "BEGIN!"<br><br>Toya started as he always did; by concentrating and turning the entire ring to ice. The air around the ring was even chilled and little flakes of snow danced in the air. "I'm not taking any chances with my opponent this time. Prepare to die." The shinobi remarked as he raised his left arm and ice began to form over it, freezing in the shape of a long and deadly blade made of ice. Across from him, Reiko seemed to grin. "Oh? You have a weapon? Good. Now it's fair," the demon remarked, "won't feel bad about hurting unarmed opponent." Reiko summoned her own weapon out of thin air; an enormous blade that resembled a hand saw. It was almost as tall as she was and had unnervingly large teeth. She grinned and dropped into a defensive stance, "Bone Carver is ready!"<br><br>Toya started at the strange weapon, but he never broke stride on his dash across the ring. The ice ninja was exceptionally fast and he started attempting slash after slash with his ice sword, but the green demoness' strange weapon was large, flexible, and she was skilled with it. She parried and countered strike after strike, the center of the ring a maddening blur of slashes and slices. From the sidelines Koto narrated, "I've never seen such skillful use of such absurdly dangerous weaponry! You just know someone is going to get sliced and diced any moment now! I want to see some blood, people!"<br><br>"I've got you now!" announced Toya, the ninja disappearing from sight, leaving Reiko wondering at where he'd gone. Suddenly, he appeared behind her and dashed in for a strike. She turned and raised her arm to block but it was too late. Toya's strike connected and took her arm off at the elbow, both it and her saw clattering to the ground. Purple blood spurted from her stump in a torrent. She screamed and hopped from foot to foot, "OoooOoooOOowww! Owowow!" The shinobi turned and flicked the blood off his blade before closing his eyes and murmuring, "One down."<br><br>Koto gasped and stood up, "Full on amputation! Now that is<strong> GLORIOUS,</strong> people! This is what we came here for!"<br><br>"Hahaha! Hah! Ah, I got'cha!" came Reiko's voice.<br><br>"...What?!" Toya turned, wide-eyed.<br><br>Reiko was picking up her arm again, grinning. "Did you like my performance? Perhaps I should take up acting as well. Or do you think I chew the scenery too much? I watch too many human soap operas, perhaps." She pressed her arm to the stump and the cut seemed to heal itself in an instant. The surgeon rolled her shoulder and flexed her fingers, then bent to pick up her saw. <br><br>"Whoa! I haven't seen regeneration like that since Elder Toguro! Let's hope Toya doesn't know how to make a fly swatter out of ice!"<br><br>Toya grimaced and narrowed his eyes. "One cut won't do? Let's see how you handle a thousand!" He raised his free hand, cupped it and blew. One of his signature attacks; Shards of Winter. A thousand razor-sharp ice crystals flew at Reiko at high speeds. She didn't dodge and instead walked through the storm. Cuts opened all over her body, but they healed nearly as soon as they were inflicted. Reiko closed in as she endured the hailstorm, droplets of purple blood spattering the ring the entire way. Toya ceased his attack as she closed and raised his ice sword to strike, but it was too late. Reiko lashed out with her saw in a whirling strike that shattered Toya's icy weapon and sent the shinobi sprawling. She stood over him and pointed her blade down at him, "Surrender."<br><br>Never one to give up, Toya vanished from sight and re-appeared in the air, sending more shards at her. The demoness looked up at her airborne opponent and charged her free hand with demon energy, then flung tiny, scalpel-like shards of energy the ninja's way. Shard met psychic scalpel and collided in mid-air, the area filling with tiny blue and red explosions. As Toya landed, the surgeon met his gaze evenly and spoke, "You cannot win. This matchup has been planned perfectly. Eventually, you'll tire. You don't have anything that I can't out heal."<br><br>Angered, Toya lashed out again. He charged in and formed a sword around either of his hands. In rage, he slashed at the demoness, hoping to do enough damage to kill her. Reiko countered every attack with a dodge or slash of her own and for quite some time the two went back and forth on the ring. Toya landed the occasional slash but, as always, it would heal within moments. He eventually started to get sloppy and made a mistake, leaving himself open. It was enough time for Reiko to get in a long and grisly slash, opening up a diagonal cut across his chest. Toya went pale and toppled to his knees as his blood spilled on the ring floor. The surgeon willed away her weapon and leaned inward, "I kept my promise to the Detective, Toya. You will not die. I missed your vitals. You should pass out from blood loss in three... two..."<br><br>Toya collapsed. Juri counted to ten.<br><br>"Winner of the third round, Reiko Gozen! Winner, Team Temple!"<br>

				From the stands a black cloaked figure kept watch with emerald green eyes that glowed only slightly. He seemed to almost blend to the surrounding shadows near the exit into the deeper parts of the arena. He gave little hint, but the approval at such a method was there. Eiriander, known only as Meirick to anyone that didn't know him personally, actually smirked, whisps of his pure white/ice hair trailed out, to catch the light&nbsp; and glint it back.

				<div align="center">(http://i46.tinypic.com/oidg5i.jpg)</div><div align="center"><strong>The Dark Tournament: Semi-Finals</strong></div><br>"Twenty minutes until the Semi-Finals! All fighters please report to the arena!"<br><br>The announcement came over the loudspeakers, giving the remaining two teams a chance to get to the ring if they had any stragglers. The stands were already filled and the crowd was abuzz with excitement as the climax of the tourney rapidly approached. This round would decide who went to face the final team in the championship match. This time the match was held in the late evening and so the stadium had enormous flood lights pointed at the ring, sure to illuminate every action taken. Koto made a grand enterance, backlit by the massive lights as she lept down from on high, did a front flip and landed upon her table with style and grace.<br><br>"Aaaaaaaaaaallllllllllright all you demons out there! This is Koto, your hostess with the mostess! My ears are perked and my tail is tingling with excitement! We're here to witness the semi-finals of the Dark Tournament! Team Genkou and Team Temple have both preformed admirably in the ring so far so this promises to be the most exciting matchup yet! Without further ado, let's get right to the carnage! Juri, take it!"<br><br>"...going to go back to my waitress job after this. I don't care how much they offer me. This is too dangerous."<br><br>"...Juri? Juri, you're on, girl!"<br><br>"Oh! Um.." Juri blushed and cleared her throat. She waved to her left, "On my left, Team Genkou!" <br><br>As she spoke the stadium doors opened and the members of Team Genkou made their way to the side of the ring to a mix of cheers and boos, some of the demons in the crowd still obviously disliking their leader. Still others seemed to enjoy the way they fought. The stadium seemed split. On the other hand, as Juri beckoned Team Temple forth the entire arena exploded in a chorus of boo's. Humans and allies of humans were certainly not favored. Despite the rain of jeers Team Temple seemed unusually confidant, their leader actually smiling for once. <br><br>"Team Leaders to the center of the ring please to decide terms!"<br><br>Mona nodded to her team and stepped up into the ring. She strode across the cool stone floor, her steps echoing in the suddenly hushed arena. Everyone in the stands was on edge, eager to see what was going to be decided. She halted, stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked at Senshin with contempt. "Before I make my proposal for fight terms, I'm going to give you one chance to surrender peacefully. Submit right now and I'll kill you quickly, with no pain. I'm not without mercy. Even for a monster like you." She smiled and lifted her hands, "But if you want a fight, I'll give it to you. So which is it? Surrender? Or do you want to hear my fight terms?"

In all honesty he wasn't surprised that the human team was booed even worse than they were, humans were hated. He walked to the center of the ring with an oddly fitting calm smile on his face as he spoke with the human woman. Senshin dropped his head and laughed just a bit, "A noble offer, but I'd rather die in as much pain as possible. I assume you wouldn't be one to surrender either, so this should be a fun time", he said shrugging his shoulders. "I hope your team is as strong as I heard they were", he said as he looked to her team. "I can hardly be called a monster, detective. The weak die constantly, what's the difference how?", he asked in a blatantly unattached tone. "I should hope whoever has the pleasure of fighting me...", he started looking her up and down, "Will make a good addition to my collection".

They easily bested Team Shinobi Sect, and im willing to bet that they have information on all of us as well. It would be wise to not underestimate them." Nicodemus said before his team captain had gone to the middle of the ring.&nbsp; Nicodemus took his spot at the edge of the ring studying the team&nbsp; across from him. Nicodemus had wished Team temples battle against the Shinobi sect had lasted longer so he could have had a better read on them, as he was listening to the radio broadcast of the fight while training. <em> I need to put&nbsp; what Senshin did to Chuu out of my head until the match is over.&nbsp; Ill have to deal with him later.</em> Nicodemus thought to himself.&nbsp; "Perhaps a 5 on 5 battle royal might work to our advantage in this round. They work well as individuals but we might be able to over power them together."&nbsp; Nicodemus says as he listens to the conversation between the captains.

The grinned a touch, "That's right. I saw it. I also saw Enki and Rinku there, but I managed to stop them from tearing you apart because that's <strong>my</strong> job."

Mona took a step back and slid her hands into her pockets, getting that serious look on her face again. "But as for my terms. Let's not keep the audience waiting. I propose a three on three match, last person standing takes the win for their team, and the match. The caveat is this; I get to pick your other two members and you get to pick mine. Agreed?"

"Ha!" He yelled proudly, stretching out with his unused hand to point at the teammate who thought so little of him. "People who assume I'm not strong don't know much about me. If she's banking on the same nonsense you just spouted, she's got a big surprise coming her way!" With that he winked at the bird demon and turned away, growling as he stepped up into the circle.

He'd seen the brit's fire and the aliens regeneration, he was thinking that regeneration like that would be useful to him and she wouldn't be able to stop him from absorbing her, though he would need to think of a way to make her weak enough. "I'll select miss Reiko and miss Medusa", he said pointing to one then the other. He only hoped that Ri would be able to fight against them well enough, he had complete faith in Tatsuya fighting either of them though.

"...If you think that's going to stop me, you're sadly mistaken. I've taken worse, far worse than you can dish out." The Detective stood up straight as she bled on the floor. Amazing, really, considering a normal human probably would've passed out from blood loss by now. But spirit energy has a way of making even normal humans impossibly tough, especially when their determination bolsters their defense, as Mona's did. Reiko was soon at her side, the green-hued surgeon lifting her left hand and making an imaginary pair of scissors with two fingers. "Psychic thread!" shouted Reiko, and as her fingers glowed, she mimed stitching up the gaping wound. Miraculously, it actually closed, stopping the bleeding.

He walked out of the arena and began to stumble, needing something to hold him up. Some weak demon went over to him and began mocking him. Even in his weakened state he could feel that this demon was nothing to him.

After that he didn't need anything to hold him up, but he still had a limp. When he got to the coast he found a small boat, no doubt someone who'd gotten there late and on his own, he managed to start it and began to motor it back to his home, letting a loud, yet difficult, laugh follow him.

The demons in the stands had been confused at the way the match had started off but had really gotten into things once the blood started flying. They wanted it to keep going until one person was left standing. The announcement continued, "Investigation by the Tournament Comittee has determined that Team Temple blackmailed key members of Team Genkou into fighting their captain. They have ruled that Team Temple is to be disqualified from the tournament. The winner is Team Genkou."<br><br>"Wow! And here I thought this match couldn't get any stranger!" cried Koto, "Doppleganger dolls, stunning sword swipes, blood, betrayal, and now surprise announcements!

Team Genkou!" said Juri, her arm waving towards the demon team. She looked just as confused as everyone else.<br><br>Mona's team didn't look upset or surprised. Mona herself just stuck her hands in her pockets and smirked, "Blackmail? I figured we'd get disqualified, but I didn't think they'd go that far. Well, I don't really care. I came here to do a job and it's done." The Detective nodded to Reiko and then motioned to Tatsuya, "Go ahead." On cue, the green demoness stepped forward and twirled her saw around her finger before passing it over to Tatsuya. "Bonecarver," said the surgeon, "is now yours. Take care of her." She seemed to sniffle a little bit, sad to part with the weapon. At that, Mona and her team turned and started to walk away.

				Ri threw his hands in the air, clearly confused by it all. None of the attacks he had launched against Team Temple had been meant to hit. In truth, he was biding his time to strike at Senshin from behind but had never been given the opportunity. And yet Mona had reached the false conclusion that he had turned against her after agreeing to help take the soul-stealer down.<br><br>Being on the winning team now gave him a prickly feeling of being watched and hunted. He hadn't a clue who his allies were now. All that work bringing Tatsuya onto his side meant nothing in the end if the lawful demon would constantly act in ways that were very much against Ri'Staraa's own work ethic. Take him aside and he was left with the weapon master's old friend, likely just as aloof and hard to place .... and the succubus, who's only tie thus far had been shown to be Senshin.<br><br>In part, he hoped they'd not be able to find another person to join their team, considering he'd fear getting stabbed in the back just as much if not more than dying in the ring.
