*I kick back in a spectator area taking Dropping Rebellion as it sticks out of the ground next me ready to watch*

*Gamma walks into the spectator area and sighs* Alright, this is the first match, right? Good to watch for future opponents. Who knows? Maybe I'll find that "Dante" I'm supposed to be working with.

*Aitome walks up to the arena, checking over his equipment as he does a quick stretch Alright, first match! Not much to it! *Aitome then walks into the waiting chamber, waiting for Leader

*I Ready to watching holding Pandora and yamato checking*

*The robed figure approaches the arena.* Is it time already...?

*The robed figure enters the waiting area and removes the robe revealing Lux because that totally could not have been guessed beforehand.* So, guess we're doing this... *Lux yawns.* Long time no see, Aitome.

*Aitome then notices the robed figure, taking a second to figure out who it is, waving over Oh hey! Leader over here!

ATTENTION. DUE TO UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE FOLLOWING COMBATANTS WILL BE REMOVED FROM THIS MATCH: ALICE, MALLORYN. THE FOLLOWING COMBATANTS WILL BE SUBSTITUTED: GAMMA, DANTE. PLEASE PROCEED TO THE WAITING CHAMBERS!

*I proceed carrying pandora and yamato with ebony and ivory and rebellion fully ready*

He he! We should have probably met somewhere more comfortable, a battle isn't exactly my idea of a great place to hang out, but hey! Its good to see you again! We didn't really get to talk much in Mamatoes

Gamma? Huh, haven't seen them in a while either. But who's this Dante guy they're talking about?

Seriously? *sigh* Guess it's a good thing I came along. *Gamma follows the signs along to his waiting chambers*

*I am in my chambers waiting*

Huh, Pinky and this Devil guy are substituting in... no idea who's the second person, I wonder how they'll fight...

*Gamma looks up at Dante and sighs* So you're the asshole I'm paired with? Fantastic... Just be careful to stay out of my way. I don't need anyone in my way.

If worse comes to worse, we'll just have to improvise. *Lux smirks.* I've got a whole new set of tricks that I haven't even got to show off still.

Hey i'm not gonna slow you down if you don't stop me

Dont count me out! You helped me out in that fight and I've got both personas now! They'll never know what hit em with the both of us working together!

*Once all the combatants have entered the chambers, the doors behind them vanish, leaving them alone in the metalic box of a room. As if on cue, the walls begin to slide down, or rather the floor begins to rise, and the ceiling opens up, revealing the large blank arena to them. At the center, Jin stands on a small platform.* Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Tournament of Desires' first match! Now, you may see a blank slate of an arena infront of you. Well, that shall be no longer! I present to you... THE WATERFALLS OF STEEL! *With a snap of his finger, a large tower begins to climb up from beneath him, gradually getting wider as it goes up, before ultimately stopping high into the air. As this happens, the ground begins to shift, creating large depressions in the arena. From the top of the tower, a large burst of molten metal sprays out, and it begins flowing down the side of the tower, before reaching the depressions, where it begins to flow like water through them The rivers of molten metal reach across the entire arena, but a clear path stretches between the two teams.* This is our first arena! Alright, combatants! On your marks... get ready..! IT'S FIGHT TIME! *A gong sounds throughout the arena, and loud cheering begins to rumble the colosseum. Alright players, get going!*

*I ready myself for the fight*

*Lux smiles back at Aitome.* Seems like you're already on a good path. I hope I can still get on one too. *A bit of static flashes in Lux's eyes for a moment before they focus on the situation at hand.*

*I proceed to make pandora form into PF594: Argument forming a mobile missile battery*

*Two kids were going to watch the fight, with her friend having to drag her here from the fight with Roxas.* "You didn't have to do this...I'm too tired anyway." he said a bit dizzy, still not fully recovered from her loss at the gym. "Oh come on, muster up that energy and watch this fight. At least you won't have to participate yet...though I wonder how you're partner thinks of this." she said, taking out two drinks for the both of them.

Whatever kid, lets just get this tournament over with then, shall we? *Gamma sighs* This is simply business, nothing more, nothing less *Gamma raises an arm at the heat the molten metal leaves* Fantastic, my ice can't stick very well near lava. What a drag. Gonna have to change things up, Shiranui, MaEigaon. *Gamma's persona roars into life as a dozen tendrils of darkness form in the air around him, reaching out to grab hold of Lux and Aitome*

*Lux gleams at the tower.* Well, lucky me. *He begins sprinting towards the tower.*

(Homura walks into the stands looking down at the field... A bit worried and not all that excited) Geez I hope this is all right... Some dangerous fighting tournament and people trying to get wishes? Sounds pretty fishy... (The girl bites her lip and shrugs to herself before grinning) Oh well at least I can probably learn something from all this!

*I fire the missles off having pandora in its argument setting aimed for lux*

*Lux stops as the tendrils surround him.* I knew it wouldn't be that easy... Phanes! Creation: Show Steeler! *Two steel tendrils rise from the ground and whip at the tendrils of darkness coming at Lux.*

Mm, lets do this! *Aitome's eyes and hair then go completely red, drawing 2 short swords from its back and getting into a combat position, notice the darkness coming she summons balls of light in her hands, firing at the tendrils to prevent damage Just keep going Leader! Ill keep them distracted!

*I set pandora to PF262: Jealousy and it switches to a chaingun and opens fire on lux*

*As Lux fights back against the tendrils of darkness he spots the incoming missile.* Damn, why is everyone aiming for me? *The steel tendrils burrow under the ground as Lux attempt to jumps out of the way of the blast and using it to clear away the remained of the dark tendrils. The blast knocks him down but he quickly gets back up and the steel tendrils burst out nearby.*

This party's just getting started *I keep focusing the volley of bullets at lux*

*The tendrils launched at Lux are all shattered between the aftermath of the explosions, lasers, and steel, however three manage to latch onto Aitome* Alright, that'll work. Dante, get Ai off the ground, I should be able to take care of the rest. Shiranui, Deathbound. *Gamma's persona roars as a wave of force is launched across the arena. aiming to knock Lux and Aitome off their feet. The tendrils seem to be pulling Ai towards the molten rivers as Gamma slowly walks forward*

*The tendrils wrap around Lux to deflect the bullets though the steel tendrils begin to dent from the out lash of bullets.* You think I'm just gonna stay defensive? Phanes! *The persona bursts fourth with a body like the cosmos and golden wings gleaming in the light.* Creation: Molten Wall! *A metal wall rises towards Dante blocking the bullets as the wall seems to simply absorb them into it and melting them within.* Using metal against a someone made of metal? Seems like a good plan, keep going for it.

*I put away pandora and attack @Aitome_Korichi with rebellion with quick speed*

*Aitome gets hit by the deathbound strike, as his eyes glow even more red as fire and light seems to encompass it Tch! Lets do this! Blazing Star! *Aitome then explodes in a fury of fire and light, incinerating the tendrils and getting back on his feet, as the fire and wave bless wave encroashs Pinky and Devil Guy

*I rush with rebellion at Aitome sword outstreched in an attempt to pierce his chest.*

*The wave of death-bound knocks against Lux but he holds his ground.* Getting this hectic already? *Lux steps back towards the waterfall of molten steel.* Time to change the tides... Phanes! Creation: Modification! *Phanes raises its arms as the stream of molten metal begins flowing around it before spraying out at Gamma and Dante.*

*Gamma sighs and takes out a small, spherical device, pressing a few buttons before a shield forms around him, turning a strange dark-blue tint as it diffuses the fire approaching him* Not going to lose to something that simple. Not anymore anyways. Shiranui, Lets focus on keeping them occupied... *Gamma catches sight of the molten stream.* That's quite a change from the null I'm used to. Shiranui, Ice Age. *A wall of ice rises to meet the stream of metal, rapidly cooling the front and forming a small barrier as the rest flows around Gamma.* Tch... What a pain..

*I quickly dodge the molten lava jacket singed a little bit and left arm looking scorched and i shrug it off*

(The girl looks at the chain gun and winces) Ugh, that thing is brutal isn't it... Geez what are they going to do if someone dies tonight.

*I resume my rush aiming rebellion at aitomes chest with a cocky grin*

Nulling my fire huh? I won- woah! *Aitome then notices Devil guy coming at him, Aitome is late and the strike hits him across the chest, slicing but not going through, as his eyes and hair swap to a blue, being enveloped in a blue flame as his thief outfit appears Wasent expecting that, Tormention! Endless Pain! *Aitome then sends a spike of ice towards Devil guy, traveling fast across the ground and exploding on contact in a blue fury dealing ice and nuclear damage

*Lux grins and sends a metal tendril into the metal in front Gamma.* Phanes! Creation: Modification! *The small metal wall in front of Gamma shoots small metal spikes aimed in Gamma's direction. Phanes begins building the molten metal into his hands as it condenses into a red glowing sphere.*

*I fall back jacket now battle damaged and then retalliate with Yamato* Talk about ice cold amirite?

*Gamma sighs and briefly looks around, a few of Lux's spikes strike him before he manages to create a barrier of ice to block the rest...* Dammit... These arenas must be rigged.. Shiranui, MaEigaon. *A dozen tendrils of darkness reach out towards Aitome, limiting their movement and attempting to grab him once more*

*Far away a voice can be heard.* Infringing on my copyright!!!

*Lux looks forward with an unwavering will.* Alright! Phanes! Creation: Molten Metal Spread! *The red ball of metal begins growing from the flow before Phanes presses it to the floor and it begins to expand on the ground around Lux's feet. A wave of molten steel begins to cover a large area creating a flooring of burning pain that begins to spread toward Gamma and Dante.*

*I swing the yamato cutting through time sending a destructive blast at lux while going to higher ground*

*Aitome blocks the blade with his own short sword, however he seems to focused on the strike as a tendril grabs onto his foot, grabbing onto him as he charges something in one hand Not happening Pinky. Tormention! Atomic Flare! *Aitome then rips off his mask, a black Cthulu-esque creature appearing, striking Aitome with a ball of explosive nuclear energy, evaporating the darkness as he gets up, running away from Devil guy and behind Pinky

*I kick aitome in the gut swinging yamato again slicing through space causing a destructive blast around me no jacket from the blast shirt incinerated and look at aitome with a smug grin* You having fun or just me?

Of course, more stupid molten..... Like the world's got it out for me. Shiranui, Ice Age *Gamma's persona roars into life as a wave of ice spreads from beneath him, matching and solidfying Lux's metal to form a safe around several meters around him* Such a pain.... Knew it was a waste to join up.

*Phanes builds up more molten metal into a burning sphere.* Just keep using your ice, we'll see if it matches my molten steel! Creation: Foundry Steeler! *The sphere is submerged into the ground as the steel tendril from before lights on fire and 2 molten steel tendrils rise from the ground. Two of the tendrils go after Gamma attempting to entangle him in a burning metal while the last of the tendrils stays back near Lux.*

*Aitome luckily dodges the kick by rolling to the right behind Devil Guy, unfortunately getting hit by the destructive blast, being thrown back, hurt quite bad but not extremely, getting up as he evaporates the theif outfit, eyes turning red as he dodges past Devil Guy, using hard light to his advantage and making a path over the metal dropping the light when he gets across, even though he's a fair distance away from Pinky he pulls out a pistol and fire 3 shots into him, aiming specifically for his legs to impair movement

*I toss pandora on the ground putting it in PF594: Argument forming a mobile missile battery and fire off salvos of missles at lux and aitome like 5 airstrikes at once*

*Gamma sighs as the tendrils approach him* You work primarily with molten metal, much harder once its frozen. Shiranui, Ice Age. *A wall of ice quickly forms around Gamma, unintentionally blocking Ai's shots as it reaches to match and solidify Lux's molten tendrils* You're not going to beat me with something so slow and unwieldy. Need to be more creative, or at least closer.

OOC: Since this thread seems dead, I'll just throw this in there: http://imgur.com/25o4cbR.png

OOC: Not really traditional to the original format, but i like it

OOC: We're not dead, it just took me a while, had a few questions.

OOC: Hope you know Lux already had a palace. So... yeah. Kinda not possible.

OOC:Take your calling card somewhere else please

OOC: lel

OOC:GET OFF THE THREAD PLEASE!

OOC: Dude, chill, its just a joke. Loosen up a bit m8.

*Aitome then tries to get as close as he can to Pinky before his eyes glow red, fire forming in his hands, noticing the missles coming at him, Missiles? Well than gonna have to make this even more firey... Hey Leader! I'm gonna melt that ice! Get ready! Blazing Star! *Aitome then slams his hands into the ground as he explodes with fire infused with bless, sending most of the firey wave towards Gamma melting the ice and heating up the metal, blowing up the 4 missles that come at him but not the last one, hurting him badly Tch... Leader he's wide open get him!

I should note that we've gotten onto people for kicking others out of threads before. He can be here if he wants.

**I turn pandora into a laser cannon and aim and fire precisely for aitome**

*The flow of molten steal begins flowing around Phanes and as Lux looms directly forward.* Alright! Phanes, Creation: Foundry! *two streams of molten metal shoot out at Gamma from both of Phanes hands.*

OOC: I 100% do not mind spectators. I just find it funny, since Lux had a palace. Anyone watching is free to post any comments, so long as they don't derail the thread or anything.

*The wave of fire washes over Gamma's forcefield, leaving it practically unharmed as he looks towards Lux's streams* This crap again? You've got to try harder than that. *With most of the moisture gone from the area Gamma goes for a simpler solution, running to the solid steel barrier formed earlier and using it for cover, spreading ice throughout it in order to keep it solidified*

*Phanes maintains the stream of molten steel as Lux begins plotting something else. The final molten steel tendrils burried itself underground.* Just gotta keep things like this for a while...

*Aitome notices the laser canon and quickly forms a hard light wall, preventing the laser from hitting him as he points his pistol at Devil guy, firing again, aiming for his shoulder specifically Sheesh! You don't give up!

I'm just warming up! *I aim again and fire another laser once more after sidestepping the bullet shot then use ebony and ivory and open fire jumping high in the air firing at aitome*

*Gamma remains behind the wall as he looks back to Ai* Well, I can't reach Lux from here... Instead... Shiranui. Diamond Dust. *6 Daggers of Ice form into the air around Gamma and arc around the back of Ai, they're half melted before they even streak towards Aitome, aiming to catch them by surprise*

*The molten steel tendril comes out of the ground nest to Gamma and attempt to wrap around him as Phanes stops the stream flowing towards Gamma and begins condensing it into his hands.*

*Aitome hides behind the hard light wall, blocking most of the shots as he sees the ice moving towards him, unfortunately, 3 icicles hit him before he can switch to Tormention, the other 3 hitting him harmlessly, the hard light then evaporates as he gets up, drawing a second pistol Argh... not gonna last for long at this rate... Tormention! Relieve this pain! *Aitome then encompasses himself in a green glow, relieving himself of the ice wounds as he then takes aim, firing at Devil guy with both pistols, trying to suppress him

*I activate my devil trigger Making me look like a Intimidating demon wielding rebellion and looking badass and dart at aitome swinging rebellion too fast to react to and slashes the pistols in half and kicks him three times and lunges rebellion into aitomes knee*

*Gamma turns and hears the tendril snake out of the ground, it quickly wraps around and breaks Gamma's forcefield before he can summon his persona* S... Shiranui... Freeze it again. Diamond Dust *The tendril comes close to Gamma before it is stopped by 6 daggers of ice, which quickly strike and freeze it, leaving a solid metal snake around Gamma* W... What a bother.... Can't imagine a worse spot to fight in.

OOC: For the record, this is what Dante most likely looks like https://i.imgur.com/UWsVLSx.png

*Lux shouts out to Gamma with a smirk.* What's wrong, tiring out already? I guess the odds have been stacked in your favor this whole time though, huh? Well, you put up a pretty good fight, but I feel we're reaching the closing chapters now. Phanes! *The glowing ball of metal begins to radiate with heat as Phanes passes the condensed ball to Lux.* Creation: Foundry! *Lux runs forward and throws the ball of glowing metal directly at Gamma as it expands into an immense amount of glowing molten Metal.*

*Aitome gets hit and eviscerated by the strikes, barely hanging onto life as he smiles getting up, bleeding all over the place. Sorry Leader... Pinky is up to you... Im gonna take this guy down with me... before I pass out... let's try this Korumi... all together now... Fox Form! *fire then seems to pour out of Aitome's hands as his eyes glow completely red, fangs seem to jag out from his mouth as the fire covers him completely, exploding before forming into a giant 9-tailed flaming fox in the place of Aitome, as it speaks in a distorted voice I'll burn you ash! *The fox then grabs onto the Devil, slamming him into the ground and jumping into the air, casting pillars of fire and bless into the crater before crashing into the hole itself, exploding in a blaze of glory, leaving Aitome unconscious nearby

*Gamma sighs as his persona takes form* You're only saying that because this whole damn place is working for you. Try fighting.... *The ball reaches Gamma and slowly begins to harden, molten metal oozing around the hardening portions as it solidifies* Try fighting me somewhere I can do something back... Asshole.... *The metal slowly forms a sheet around Gamma, leaving him mostly covered in solid iron, barely able to move*

*I take the hit full force and shrug it off surviving the attack and turn my sights on lux*
