"Ladies and Gentlemen! We are down to our last two fights of the first round." The colosseum echoed with the ever vibrant cheers of the crowd.They had witnessed several heated battles and while some were one-sided and lacked any thrill, they were wowed by the fiery exchange between all the participants. "This next fight is going to give you the chills, I can guarantee that! Welcome, the Ice Mage, Farou!" A cloak-wearing man descended to the arena. His cloak was pure white and had a picture of a snowflake in the middle. "His opponent, The team leader of the winner of the very first match up today, he's human, he's strong... Please welcome - Storm Walker!" The crowd's cheers were uncontrollable. Storm rises from his seat as everyone's attention is aimed at him."That's him alright." "The one in those videos." "His battle with commander Kaze was fire!" The crowd seemed to unify as they cheered a single word... "Tempest!" "Tempest!""Tempest!" "Tempest!""Well, I'm off."Storm
Farou presses his hands together. "Icicle Blast!"The ice wall standing between them began to rumble. "Trouble." Storm's senses warned as he enters his Glider mode. "Mode One: Glider!" The pair of dark mana wings emerged from his back. Mustang's eyes lit up seeing the System Bearer's new form. "Kaze has improved alot." "That's expected of our captain," Kaze reassures."Heh," Mustang laughs. "You haven't seen anything yet." The ice wall began to shoot out sharp ice shards aiming at the System Bearer. Storm dodges the shards and ascends to the sky. "That wall can't reach me here." Farou smiled. "Of course it can't, but they can." Just then, a shadow was cast above the System Bearer. He looked over and saw a dozen large ice rocks descending at a fast pace. "Tck." He swiftly maneuvers through them in the air. "You're just like a fly, but don't worry, I'll clip your wings." "One more time, you don't want to join my team?" "Why do you think we're called honor students? It's n
"My name is Lee, and I shall crush all of your bones !"The man standing in front of the leader of Shadow Rider stood nearly 8 feet tall, he had a broad chest and was extremely bulky. But he wasn't like that a few minutes ago."What technique is that?" Mustang looks over at Storm. "Beats me." The System Bearer shrugs. "Same here." Kaz states. "I've seen a lot of wacky stuff, but this one takes the cake," Ernie asks as he pulls out a roll of weed and lights it up. "Are you even allowed to smoke here?" Tana asks. "You only live once, Lucy." The guitarist hits a blunt and turns to Lucy. "Hmm..." Lucy ponders for a bit. "I have nothing. He seems to have sucked the mana from the atmosphere to bulk up his body." She starts to explain. "It's like Mana Force yet, it's not since there are no markings." She adds. "It also gives off the vibes of Mana Enhancement." Kaze states. "Is it another Mana Enhancement technique?" "Whatever it is... We'll figure more out once the match starts." "
"Very well, it seems you've lost your mind. I'll oblige to your little challenge and don't you worry, I won't kill you, I'll only crush you!""You get one hit, then. I'll put an end to you!" Neal declared. "Has he lost his mind!" Kaze exclaims. It was unusual for the vice-captain of the Tempest team to be surprised. "The energy being emitted by Lee currently is higher than Storm when he's in his Chaos form!" Storm achieved a new transformation thanks to his shadow and dark attribute mastery. He adds, making the other Tempest perk up. "I see..." They turned their attention to Lee. The giant boxer pulled both his hands back readying an attack. "He wants to end it with the next attack.""But why would Neal taunt him like that?" It was evident that the leader of the Shadow Rider team possessed a cunning strategy. "Brace yourself for defeat!"Lee bellowed, extending his arms wide before forcefully bringing them together to strike the head of the Shadow Rider captain with great imp
Storm, and Lucy were taking a stroll on the streets of The Capital. It was a beautiful city famous for its views and its landmark, the colosseum. "Ahh!" The System Bearer sighed in relief as he hangs his arms around his head. "After being involved in so many none-stop actions for weeks, it's nice to have a day of rest." He adds. "The body needs to rest, even if it's once in a while," Mustang adds. "We still have the rest of the day before meeting up with the guys, what do you two want to do?" Storm asks. Tana rubs her chin. "I wanted to have a date with him, now we have a third wheel! What to do?" Her face lights up as an invincible light bulb appears over her head. She snaps her fingers and shouts "That's it!" Storm paused to address the elf. "Why don't we play a game?" She says with a grin. Storm tilted his head while Lucy chuckles. "Sure." "Let's do this thing!" "We're gonna play hide and seek. Our playing stage will be the entire City. I'll be the seeker since Storm h
It was now the day for the second round of the Valiant games. The seats have been filled to the brink once again as the colosseum echoed with the roaring cheers of the crowds.Some held banners depicting logos of their favorite groups. While others had pictures of their favorite fighters including honor students. "Wowee!" Mustang exclaims looking at a screen depicting the thousands of people that have gathered to watch the tournament of the Combatants."This place is sweet!" The Tempest team have been given an exclusive suit big enough to contain all their members including none participants. It was a rule implemented from the second round upwards whereby Combatants would be given rooms big enough for them to watch the tournament standby until they were called upon for their matches.The room had several beds and resembled that of a penthouse in a hotel. It was located within the colosseum. "This place is solemn!"They all scanned the room with glistening eyes. "So, we'll be watchi
"The Sun Bow..." Kaze scanned his opponent.Mustang tightened his grip on the golden bow as he positions himself and pulls the string of the bow.A golden arrow emerged with flames on the string as Mustang aims at Kaze. "Hahaha! Come, Mustang. Don't you dare hold back!""I don't plan on holding back, Kaze. Sun Purge!" Mustang fired the blazing arrow at the hammer wielder. "His go-to attack eh?"Kaze chuckled as he dashes forward with a broad grin. Without slowing down, he sprints faster as he deflects the fire arrow thus changing its trajectory.Mustang remained unfazed almost as if he was expecting his opponent to deflect his attack with little effort.Kaze closed the distance between them. "I told you, I won't hold back. The weakness of an archer... You're weak when it comes to close-ranged battles!" Kaze roared as he lifts his hammer and electricity gathers around him."The weakness of a brute, they underestimate their opponents easily." Mustang summons an arrow but doesn't pla
Kaze was panting heavily, darting a look at his opponent. The archer standing across him pulled the string of his bow and fired an arrow which splits into multiple arrows. "Yellow Rain!" He shouted. The Lightning User grins as he swings his hammer in multiple directions deflecting all of the arrows that are aimed at him. "Amazing. Ladies and gentlemen, this match-up only keeps adding to the heat!" "It's amazing how Kaze is able to move nimbly with that hammer of his," Mustang says to himself. He smirks as he points at the Lightning User. "Arrow Port!" The several arrows that scattered on the floor of the arena disappeared. It didn't take long before they reappeared in a different spot... The body of the Lightning User. Sticking out from his limbs were dozens of arrows that the archer conjured. Kaze winced in pain as he flexed his muscles causing the arrows to break apart. "Such power..." Mustang said in awe. Kaze bursts into laughter. "That ability of yours makes you the mo
