[The blonde man with the killer hair would walk into the spectator seats and claim one for his own, an excited smile on his face.] A tournament? Awesome! With all the training I got from Dio's arena, I think I could've done pretty good!

*Axel sits among the stands with sea salt flavored icecream in hand.* Is Roxas really gonna fight in this tournament thing? Not that I'm worried, there's no way Roxas will lose to anyone. He's got the power of the keyblade and with that he can't lose. *Axel grins snugly as he watches the empty arena in anticipation for the match to start.*

*Laharl rides a meteor down onto the arena. As it makes its approach, Laharl uses his sword to smash it into a million pieces. Laharl then does a flip and lands in the middle of the stadium.* Attention, everyone! Today I debut my powers as an overlord! Those who fail to respect my might will witness firsthand as I overcome this tournament!

[The man would scoff at the introduction.] Heh. Another who would subjugate others to sate their own selfish desires. I pity whoever his teammate is.

*A loud noise blasts throughout the arena.* MR. LAHARL, PLEASE ENTER THE WAITING ROOM AS INSTRUCTED. OTHERWISE, YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED, AS TEMPERING WITH THE ARENA BEFORE IT HAS BEEN SET BREAKS OUR POLICIES. *The voice cuts out in a loud beep, and a portal opens next to Laharl, leading to his and Roxas' waiting room.*

*Alice finds her way into her waiting chamber. Once she's in she tugs on her glove and straightens the ribbon around her collar before taking a look around. She seems to have noticed the loud voice and destructive entrance of a very rambunctious combatant as she thinks out loud about the situation.* It would seem that someone here is quite a show off. Now I wonder where Malloryn is? I certainly hope they haven't forgotten about this.

Tch... *Laharl enters the fucking portal*

[Cloud could barely hold back is laughter.] Pfft! Hahahaha! That was golden!

*My command ship is seen floating there as I sit in the bridge waiting for the match to begin*

*The trap shows up in their metaverse attire, the usual dress, heel boots, mini top hat, and her parasol. They felt like this was a special occasion after all, so they had to dress the part. Right now though, he was just adjusting where his top hat goes on his head and which parts of his hair to curl. At least, not before they remembered to actually enter and go into her waiting chamber.* "It would be a little petty for my partner to see me like this...I hope my opponents are easily baitable...Pourquoi est-ce que j'ai tardé à répondre à toutes ces questions?..." she panicked, mumbling french to herself again.

*Roxas steps out of a dark portal inside the waiting area before summoning his Keyblades and walking through to the battle arena* Alright then finally time to do this! Hope things can go well in this match, let's work together alright Laharl? *He smiles at the Overlord and offers him a handshake*

Ooc: And I hope that I can get rich from all of the times I've posted my intro on that alt.

OOC: Ah, I didn't know Lucius was paying us a visit... and saying "the trap" still works

Ooc: Thanks for your support Em *-*

[Sometime after his excursion into a distorted past, Raidou enters the arena. Seems he came to watch Alice's match. He already missed one friend's fight, and certainly didn't plan on missing another. He leans against the wall above the rest of the seats, waiting calmly for things to get going.]

OOC:Nor did you expect a visit from me in a battleship.

*Laharl ignores Roxas and just responds with a demonic laugh* Hahahahahahahahaha! WIth my power, I doubt you will even be necessary!

*Alice had previously arrived in the waiting room so she's there to greet her partner upon her... his... its arrival. She'd smile and simply give the person a wave.* Ah there you are I was beginning to wonder if you'd show up at all Malloryn. It's okay if I call you that right? Or do you have some other nickname you prefer to go by?

OOC: Gonna be honest, no one really cares if there's a random battleship in the sky. We've seen you jutting into threads enough at this point to expect this.

*The arena arising before the combatants is quite simple. In the center of the arena, a large skyscraper stand tall. The building reaches up high into the sky, but the top can clearly be seen. The ground of the arena itself is flat, and the shape is octagonal, with shimmering walls around the outside preventing the fighters from falling off the arena. The front and back sides of the building On top of the building, Jin sits with his feet over the edge.* Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Memory's Skyscraper! *He looks down at Roxas and smiles, as well as quickly looking to Axel as well.* Hopefully a few of you recognize this building! For those who don't... don't worry about it. It shouldn't hinder you. Oh and before we get started, due to some regulations, all players above level 100 shall be scaled back down to that level for the sake of making this a balanced match. *He stares down at Laharl.*

Now, let the match begin! OOC: DEFINITELY didn't get cut off. Anyways, here's some fitting music.

What!? Unfair! Tch, whatever, I'll likely still win anyway. Let's just make this quick. Tera fire! *Suddenly, a beam of red light shoots into Laharl and causes an orange magical circle to revolve around him.*

*The boy leaps onto a wall of the building looking down at Mal* I'm not gonna let you set up those cheap tricks again sorry! *He kicks off the Skyscraper pointing his blades at the girl trying to slam into her from the air, aiming for her chest in an attempt to hit the center*

*Alice's six-winged angel of a persona descends upon her, Alice's spear in its hands for the girl to take as is her usual by now. She starts off the fight by putting her hands together and muttering a short prayer before Seraph, her persona, places a blessing upon herself and Malloryn as made apparent by a dim glow that they had both temporarily emitted. Her partner might be able to notice the power surge that the blessing had brought about and that Alice was now looking to her, as if waiting to follow up on any counter she may provide against Roxas.*

*Watches in interest as well as my metarex soldiers*

*He opened his mouth to try and talk to Arisu only for it to be interrupted by the actual match starting. Also with the fact that we are now fighting with a building at our side and the fact that Roxas is already targeting her. Fan-fucking-tastic. She decides to just have her ever-so-loyal knight block Roxas for only minimal damage (like, 10%) and use Limbo's Peak as a distraction to get to the top of the building.* Ooc: Limbo's Peak: Guaranteed Heavy Ice damage: Now splits into separate crystals for 8-10 light ice damage.

*Suddenly, two massive spheres of fire well up from Laharl's hand. The explosive flames quickly get launched towards Mal and Alice in a semi-rapid manner.* Now! Feel the dread of my burn!

*The boy feels a spear of ice slam into him as he looks at the split off blasts spinning his blades around himself to block the strikes, although a couple get through regardless as Roxas winces before darting at the building once again.* I'm not gonna let you get away from me Mal! If I can keep you at close range I'm pretty sure I'll have the edge. *Roxas leaps onto the wall running up after her as he points his Keyblades at her, sending one ball of flames right to her back as the other darts ahead faster up the wall circling around to slam into Mal from the front, Roxas speeds up a bit likely being slightly behind her at this point*

*Alice had planned to go airborne once she noticed Mal starting to scale to the building which meant that Seraph was ready to quickly bear her to safety from Laharl's orbs. The persona's hands together, Alice sits on them before the thing goes airborne and over the orbs. It does feel the effects of the ensuing explosion but the persona simply shrugs it off as it would appear fire doesn't harm it an awful lot.* *With Laharl's attack now dealt with, Alice would intend to cover Mal's ascent by commanding Seraph to release quick, small projectiles of bless-based magic in hopes of stopping at least one of the balls headed for her teammate.* Hey blonde kid stop focusing down my teammate!

*Roxas laughs at Alice as he watches the orbs* Nah! She's a real pain in the ass so I think I'd rather do that! Hey Larharl How about you get up close with Miss Bless and show her what a real melee fighter can do!?

Naw, why bother soiling my hands when I can just finish the match from here?

"Yeah, what she said. Stop focusing on me please, just because she's airborne doesn't make it logical to just gang up on me..." *Seeing as Roxas is now near her, she decided to cancel out the ball of fire by using Heaven's Message behind Roxas to try and make him go right above the stake to get stuck by the lightning, she starts by assaulting with her parasol to dash at him and try and stab him-* "Bonjour, sir signifier." *only to open up her parasol to emit the same poison fog and make her escape.* "Au Revoir!" he said to him, with Roxas being positioned for the lightning to strike him.

Stop moving around so I can hit you! That's it, Tera Ice! *A cyan light streams from the sky and a blue circle revolves around Laharl*

*Roxas smirks at her as he slams Oblivion into the parasol blocking her strike, then he raises his hand a blast of wind flies forth sending the fog over towards Mal* Not gonna fall for th *The bolt of lightning smashes into Roxas and he glares as sparks fly from his body* Okay I'm getting a tiny bit sick of all this... Come on then Gather! *He tosses both blades above his head as an orb of strong magnetic force forms pulling Mal towards him as prepares to stab his Keyblades into her chest if she get's close enough*

*Upon witnessing how skillfully, not to mention gracefully, Mal had dealt with Roxas' attack, she figures she might be fine on his own for a while and turns her attention to Laharl. As she did she notices yet another magical circle and decides it might be best to interrupt it this time around. She goes on the offensive and directs Seraph over to where Laharl was before emitting two bright flashes of light back-to-back as if to break his focus and, potentially, temporarily blind him. As this happened she'd be sure to yell down to him as to taunt him.* I must admit Larry or whatever your name is... Your magic is quite easy on the eyes. Your figure? Well not as much~!

*The fog was hindering her from truly escaping from the magnetic force, but she decided to use Hell's Fireworks in the middle of where they were before Roxas could even touch her with his blades. Then proceeds to clamp Tatsuya and try to get him hit by the swinging axe and follow up with the nightmare stomp trap (That is if he gets hit and goes into the building.) as he uses the same (Not Painful.) Ascension trick to get him to where Laharl and Alice is.* "I'm tired of playing tag, can we just fight up here?" she said, panting heavily from what happened back at the trip it took to get her here not minding Roxas at all.

*Laharl dabs to block Arisu's attack* Hahahahahhahahahahahahahah! Now, you're right where I want you! *Laharl holds out his palm towards Arisu and ejects a chilling light blue sphere. The area around the sphere freezes instantly, causing the ground to become icy. The sphere begins to leave a crystallized trail of ice twice its size as it projects towards Arisu. The ice shards that are rapidly spreading begin to inch closer towards her and possibly stab her. Laharl then backflips to a safe distance to avoid this attack being punished against him*

*Roxas groans as the traps pins him down before the axe smacks into him sending the boy flying away and causing the other trap to miss. He then smirks at her and pants heavily suffering from the various blows* Heh you're pretty good there... And sure let's fight up here now! *Roxas snaps his fingers causing a clock to spin above his head and raise his speed, as he darts at Mal in a blur swinging his blades at her chest before darting over to her left side and trying to stab Oblivion into the girl's left arm, simply leaving stuck there if the blade somehow hits* No more games Mal now we're gonna fight for real!

OOC: Stupid autocorrect. I meant blink, not dab. :P

*Noticing that Mal had arrived closeby, Alice had devised a strategy but first had to deal with the icy attack. Having few options as to actually avoiding it completely, she instead focuses on getting to where Mal was. This results in quite a few cuts and jabs along the way but she forces herself forward as to carry out her plan.* *Now next to Mal, Alice's persona would get close and then envelope all three of them within it's six wings to act as a sort of cocoon. Within the confines Alice quickly explains her strategy to Mal as a dim blue light would form from within. Although Mal was covered from Roxas' attack, Seraph was not and took it in her stead. It'll be more than likely that Seraph won't be able to fly after the cocoon opens to reveal whatever had been inside, especially after Roxas' and Laharl's ensuing attacks.*

*As she was enveloped in the cocoon, she started preparing her..."special" attack. Since he was interrupted last time from a conversation, he decided to try and talk with Alice...in a cocoon.* "Is this normal for you? Being in this cramped up space with those brutes waiting for us..." he said to Alice, trying to stretch out a bit.

*Laharl glances towards Roxas* Roxas, was it? You take the offensive and try and interrupt their attack. If they use anything too powerful, i'll assist you.

*The boy smirks at Laharl as he examines the wings* Yo I got a plan here! Just need you to follow up Mr Overlord. *Roxas's blades vanish from his hands before he leaps onto it's head and grabs hold of it's top pair of wings trying to rip open a hole in the cocoon so that Laharl can fire straight into it* Alright I know you can explode people so get on it partner! *He smirks at the demon as his arms strain against the wings of Alice's Persona to hold them open*

*Laharl smirks devilishly* Alright! I'll show you the wrath of an overlord! *Suddenly, several bright orbs of pure energy rise out of Laharl. In a rapid movement, the orbs all gather towards Mal and Alice and explode in a violent burst*

*Usually her opponents would just start harassing the wings with their weapons and magic but upon noticing that Roxas has forced his way in she has to change up the game. As Laharl was preparing his attack, announcing to all of them what the wrath of an overlord is, she had Seraph open up two of its wings to provide an opening for Mal to escape. If he hadn't taken this chance to get out then Alice would deliver a kick as to push him out, leaving only herself within to fall victim to Laharl's attack.* Sorry Mal... I hate relying on others but it would seem that only one of us will be making it out of this attack. How careless of me to have not predicted this. *Seeing as this was probably going to be her last action before being unable to battle any further, she'd release whatever she had stored in the form of a restraint. Even if the orbs could connect with her before the restraints were in place, chains would extend from the blue light she held within the cocoon and go to restrain Roxas as he was the closest, leaving him open to whatever Mal intended to unleash. The chains would try for Laharl as well but chances are he was too far away. Once she had done all she could for her teammate, Alice herself still being enclosed in the cocoon, the explosions would occur within.*

*He stayed silent, keeping a straight face while abandoning Alice as he proceeds to try and finish off Roxas for a 1v1.* *As Malloryn got out of the cocooon, she ran up to Roxas and slowed down time for 15 seconds, striked at him with the tip of his parasol and shot bullets at him, and finally positioned all the buzzsaws around him to trigger them with her last few seconds of slowed down time.*

*The blades slash into him and destroy the chains as well as tearing an arm off as Roxas grits his teeth and glares at Mal. One might expect there to be blood but Nobodies being what they are, have none* Phew good thing that tournament guy came bring back the dead right... I'd probably be done already if I were most anyone else but I'm still up for now. *He staggers over to the girl with a pained look on his face and a cold tone to his voice* So without anymore waiting now I'm ending it for myself, and taking you down with me if I can! *Light forms around the boy's body as he slowly fades away, a huge pillar of holy magic crashing down from the sky leaving a smoking crater, Roxas being seen nowhere when the dust settles* OOC: No I don't actually expect this to be a kill, but I'm going down swinging.

*Axel looks panicked over Roxas condition.* Roxas? You can't lose like this... Dammit!

[He winces at the bright light.] D-Damn! That's some power!

*Laharl grits his teeth and stares at the crater where Roxas used to be. Laharl's fist is tightly clenched.* Why must allies be so USELESS!? That's it, this is what you get for underestimating my power! *A strange red electricity forms around Laharl, as his body tenses up. Laharl then jumps up high and summons a giant meteor. In the blink of an eye, the meteor slams into the building, causing it to collapse and fall towards Mal.*

*Watches the raging battle* .......

* Walks in and sits in the stands to see the remainder of the fight, watching the remaining fighters carefully, especially to Malloryn. *

OOC: Just an FYI we're finishing this at 3pm PST. It's pretty late right now.

OOC: Also whoopie I spoiled the obvious alt.

OCC: Okay, thanks for the heads up.

(Have a basic bump. Finishing the match. Combatants remaining: Malloryn and Laharl.)

*Gamma walks into the specatator's area with a sigh, as he catches sight of the combatants* Unfortunate that I missed the start. Probably missed most of what my future opponents do. Not that it matters of course.

[Cloud's eyes go wide upon seeing the meteor casually tossed down.] Wow. The kid could give the Black Materia a run for its money!

[Raidou looks up at the two remaining combatant, and grits his teeth. He notes that Alice certainly does better with an ally than she does alone, but Roxas and Laharl are both monsters. He adjusts his hat, and considers that maybe his way of doing things may be outdated.]

"Oh, si seulement je me souciais assez d'Alice ... encore, en prenant un pour l'équipe!" she said to herself, facing upwards at the light and preparing her final attacks to try and finish off the fight. *He lets the light hit her in order for Dévouement Aller Commencer to activate and give him more power. Now being in her Désireux Dévouement state, she slows down time once more, and then proceeded to have her ultimate persona, King Absolon, cut through the meteor, making an explosion around them as a portal forms to send out a barrage of poisonous spikes at Laharl. Unfortunately, this is summoned as soon as the time slow stops making it so that King Absolon charges at Laharl while they have a chance to reciprocate.*

Hahahahahahahahahahaha! If you have to rely on a cheap trick, you'll never stop me! *The poison spikes scrape Laharl, but the poison fails to affect him much. Laharl then sidesteps Absolon and pushes his left foot backwards to propel him towards mal. He then rushes forward and comes to a sudden stop before Mal.* Blazing Knuckle! *His fist then explodes into a violent flame as he attempts to uppercut Mal into the air. In succession, he also jumps in the air and smashes her downwards into the ground. To finish the attack, he extends his fist towards Mal on his descend and allows his punch to fall on her like a meteor.* I'll finish you!

*He giggles weakly, lying on the ground. Deciding to just have it so that her poison spikes act as a shield to do their best to protect her from Laharl's punch, the...toxic...aroma healing her at an alarming rate over time as she just awaits for the match to be over.* "Ce n'est pas de ta faute... I'm going to...I'm just going to..." he said to himself meekly. *As this happens though, she decides to slow time for the last...time...and have King Absolon try and do his best to do as much damage as he can before the inevitable happens.*

*Laharl punches through the spikes and attempts to attack Mal as intended. The spikes cut through his skin and leave heavy wounds. The poison seeping into him.*

*After she gets hit by Laharl's punch, the number of her spikes begin to increase as they try to assault Laharl. Though they won't attempt to skewer him, instead, they explode right near the both of them. Normally this would be a Kamikaze situation, but instead, she is fully healed, holding her parasol as always and waiting for Laharl from about a yard away from him.*

"Hey, "demon overlord", are you ok over there? Being at full health feels nice, doesn't it? The aroma of the toxic is so nice." she mocked Laharl, while looking around the field to see where her mini top hat went.

*Laharl gets knocked back from the meteors and is knocked to the ground* Tch, if that's how it is, i'll just heal up too! Tera heal! *Laharl also fully recovers*

Tch, that's it, Overlord Dimension! *Laharl splits into several rectangular plates then reforms into a sword. Laharl then goes straight into the air with the sword and hits a giant sphere of hot gases. Suddenly, several meteors fall from the sky and hit Mal. Then, the giant sphere starts to come crashing down towards Mal.* It's over!

Screw this! I don't have time to waste on a fucking tournament! *Laharl summons a portal and goes into it while dropping a meteor on the stadium*

"Aww, wait!" he said after Laharl leaves. *He decides to inhale before bracing himself for the meteor. But then goes back inside, leaving his mini top hat to burn...he'll get it back once he gets like this again though. So sorry for being an "expert" survivalist I guess. Then again King Absolon did that on his own...this is why I like Morechal better...*

So.... That happened.... I guess *sigh* You know what, I'm not even that surprised. Why not, right?
