Part 1: Post Preliminaries
The Mythic Knights and Remnents all sat in a large plush room inside the Colloseum, both Neo and Kala wearing the purple suit assigned to the members of the tournament team. It had only been 24 hours since they won the tournament and a total of 3 weeks before they were betrayed. The room was silent except for Celia's electronic voice, that came from the temporary implant she had given to everyone. "Mercury and I are working on curing Trinity as fast as we can." She reported. "Her power level has grown exponentially since she was first with us. Once she's cured, she's gonna be a powerhouse."

"What's going on outside?" Neo asked.

"No activity yet." Celia told them. "A lot of energy in the air though. Fire, Water, Chaotic, you name it, it's up there. Foxtrot's probably eating like a king wherever he is."

"Anything on Zero or Apollo?" Neo pressed.

"You could lighten up, you know." Celia told him. "No, neither of them seem to be in the area right now."

"I don't sense either of their aura's in the area." Kala noted. "But, I feel like something really big is about to happen, that or I ate too much..."

Zapor, also in a purple suit, sighed. "You think there's a suit in blue? Purple really isn't..flattering."

"I don't know what your talking about, kid." Eclipse said, looking at Kala. "Purple is goood." Eclipse got a questioned look from Leo, but ignored it.

"The money's gonna be all mine~ MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!" Saren cackled out, he's been like this ever since he heard about the reward.

"You realize the reward isn't money." Kala said. "He just said it was something really valuable. I hope it's a rocket!"

"I...doubt that." Leah told the genie.

"Either way.. It will be mine!~"

"Maybe its a tiny floating whale." Zapor said enthusiastically, which caused Lexi to scream.

"Lex, are you still afraid of whales?" Leo asked, which Lexi answered by punching him in the face.

Rose seemed to be looking around. "Hey soldier girl, didn't you say you were bringing some friends of yours along? Where are they?"

Masako shook her head. "They're here, but for all intents and purposes they aren't in the same room with us right now. Something else came up recently involving the tournament. I missed the briefing, so I'm sort of in the dark while they're off investigating the area."

"Hey." A man in a black suit called, while opening the door. "The matches is about to begin soon." He told them. "Your team will need to be out there, with everyone present. Good luck in the quarter finals."

"Expect to find them after the final match." Celia told them. "Remember that the Leo tournament will be changing the group dynamic when you get out there, it's the only thing that makes the Leo tournament different from the Aries tournament."

Neo rose. "I'm ready." He approached the door and walked out.

"Master doesn't seem to be very happy with Zero and Apollo." Kala noted sadly. "We should hurry and follow him." She left far Neo.

"We have a box near the top of the stadium." Fey noted. "Everyone else will come with me, Leah, and Echo."

"And me." Era inputted. "I'm here too, not that anyone cares about the best thing you have against Zero."

"Don't argue." Red told her.

Moros looked at Era. 'Still here as well..'

Saren went to follow Neo.

Zapor ran to follow Neo as well.

The team exited where they found one of the announcers, a pink wolf girl in a dress designed to look like the Lwo constellation awaiting. "There you guys are!" She said. "My name is Ursa I'll be the announcer for the competition!" She looked over the group. "Alright, well as you know we have a new rule every year for the tournament. This years rule adds and person to your team!"

"That's it?" Kala asked. "That's the new rule?"

"Yes!" Ursa told them. "It changes the group dynamic and adds another person to battle with when you go up against another team. Your new member should be coming soon, and if you have any questions, I can answer them!"

Saren shrugged. "Well, that might make things less boring... Oh well."

(You guys can talk, and interact and basically do whatever, but we can't start the tournament until MHS posts. -Neo)

A gray-quilled echidna walked into the room. She wore a cloak, which seemed to shift between the colors of the rainbow, "This looks like the place."

"Hold on... are you here by invitation, by any chance?" Masako asked the echidna.

"Why, yes. Yes I am!" she replied, grinning, "The name's Plat- er, no. The name's, uh, hmm.... Could you give me a moment to think about this?"

"You need to think about you name?" Neo asked.

"I like her!" Kala asked.

"Yep, this girl is now apart of the Mythic Knights team!" Ursa announced. "Now that everyone is here, we can start the tournament!"

"Um, my name is... Uisu! Yes, that's right. Uisu~Hyper's the name, but you can just call me Uisu!" the echidna, apparently named Uisu, replied.

"How does Hyper drop the nickname Usiu?..Meh." Zapor muttered.

Saren looked at Uisu.

"Wait... A team means I have to share..." Saren muttered.

Masako was obviously suspicious about the echidna... but then again, what's new?

"Just start the battles." Neo told her.

"There are still a couple of rules to go over." Ursa said.

"Like what?" Kala asked.

"First rule; you cannot kill each other!" Ursa told them. "Second Rule; you cannot step out of bounds, that means you cannot go anywhere past the first row of chairs. Third Rule; in the case of a knock-out, you cannot make a replacement, so do not get knocked out!" She pointed over to sign with all the teams on a bracket. "You will battle in two matches, and then the finals.If  you triumph over all of those you will earn the valuable reward!"

"Which is a rocket?" Kala asked hopefully.

"It's something you can't even imagine!" Ursa told them. "It could be anything, except money."

"So it could be a rocket?" Kala's eyes sparked.

"Maybe!" Ursa excitedly announced. "Now let's start the tournament!"

Part 2: The Quarter Finals; Mythic Knights vs Dungeon
"Ladies and Gentlemen!" Ursa called out from the middle of the tournament. "Welcome to the 76th Leo Tournament!" The crowd roared in excitement, nearly deafening anyone in the area. "Today we'll be handling the quaters, semis and final matches of the tournament, and have we got some special teams for you tonight!"

"Yes we do." Called a high-pitched woman over the intercom. "My name is Minor and I will be handling any commentary from up here."

"And my name is Major." Another voice, this time male, said. "My name is Major and I'll be working with Ursa and Minor to give you all the report of what is happening."

"So, any thoughts on the tournament teams?" Minor asked.

"As always, we have Team Battle, a returning champion looking to defend their title, which I think will make for an interesting match, but we also have a lot of new teams appearing as well, I think that it might be a little early to say that Team Battle is going to successfully defend their title, but they do have a really good chance." Major told them.

"Well, on that note, let's begin the first match of the day!" Minor called. "Our first match will consist of the Mythic Knights vs Team Dungeon!"

Neo and his team walked out into the center of the tournament opening. Across from them were several interesting individuals. One wore heavy white chainmail, another wore a green and white pirate outfit, one was covered in blue robes with a giant yellow hat, another was in a red outfit complete with a cap and luxerious hat, one had on white robes with a hood, and another wore a taditional ki.

"Neo, Saren, Zapor, Masako, Kala, and Uisu vs Knight, Rogue, Black, White, Red, and Shaman!" Ursa called out. "Live and let die, fight!"

(Quater finals vs theme!)

Kala quickly jumped backwards and began dancing, putting a ward of magic on everyone. Neo quickly jumped at Rogue, easily locking the man in combat.

White jumped back and prepared to cast magic. Knight went straight for Masako, Black fired flames at Saren, Red quickly took his light sword and tried to hack at Zapor, and Shaman tried to punch Uisu.

Zapor rolled back and tossed a large fireball at Red.

Uisu caught the punch, and kicked him in the stomach.

Masako formed a glacier in front of her to intercept Knight, which exploded into a cloud of frost, obscuring vision.

Knight quickly flipped back, took his sword and went around, trying to flank Masako.

Shaman, doubled over, before punching the ground, causing the earth under Uisu to open under her.

Red quickly took his blade and stabbed Zapor's flame, covering the sword with fire and continuted to slash at the red hedgehog.

Rogue went for Neo's shoulder, but the green fox wasn't having any of that. He dug his claws into Rogue's arms, and jumped off of him. Then took a metallic round object, and kicked it towards the boy, who didn't stand a chance against the explosion that the roundel grenade caused. Rogue, got back up and once again locked himself in combat.

White managed to heal Rogue for most of the damage he took.

Uisu's robes changed to a light green, and she began to slightly hover. "Heh. Nice try. But I can do this!" She then pointed her had at him, and began to charge up an attack.

"Funny that you mention that." Shaman said, standing up, charging his own attack.

"Funny that you mention me mentioning that!" Uisu replied, firing a beam of white energy.

Saren just focused on interconnecting all of team dungeon's shadows with his own without them noticing.

Zapor jumped, dodging the fire slash and tackled Red in the form of a fireball.

The white beam fired, and went directly for shaman, only for it to be met with a barrier that White had put up. Which gave Shaman enough time to fire a blast of water at Uisu.

Black continuted to fire flames at Saren, unknowingly causing their shadows to get larger.

"I'm still capable, aren't I...?" Uisu muttered to herself. Her quills began to glow, and then turned blue. "Perhaps they won't recognize my talent yet..." She absorbed the blast of water, and reflected a slightly larger wave.

Shaman slid underneath it, covering his feet in sharp air, and going to kick towards Uisu's feet.

Saren snickered at black before sinking into one of the shadows, however, a good portion of his fur was singed along with the majority of his coat.

"Come on~" He muttered before Black's shadow spawned tendrils that attempted to wrap around his feet.

"Let's get this show on the road.."

Black, being the incompetent mage that he was, had no idea what to do and was taken by the tendrils.

Saren willed the tendrils to start squeezing after they continued on to his ankles, intending to shatter the bones in Black's feet and ankles so Black would otherwise be incapable of walking.

"I got you, pearl!" White called out, casting a pearl spell which caused a large orb of holy mage to cut through the tendril, which caused Black to flop onto the floor.

"Try not to hurt them too much..." Kala told Saren in concern. "They aren't bad guys..."

"Whop." Uisu's robes became a slightly more intense green, and she hovered above the ground even further. "Kerpew." She pointed her arm at him once more, and fired a small red sphere, that would explode on contact.

The sphere hit him square on the chest, he didn't even have time to stand up, but there was one problem in that calculation. Shaman was really close to Uisu, so the explosion would have been in range of both her and him, and the explosion managed to knock him out.

Seeing as Knight's vision was obscured, Masako was nowhere to be found where he tried to "flank" her. Instead, there was a blade of ice flying toward him.

"I'm not Kala, well.. Alright fine.." Saren whined.

Knight quickly was slammed with the blade of ice, his armor held, but it still hit like a truck. Knight doubled over, before trying to look for Masako.

Knight didn't have to look very far for Masako. She was already just steps away, opening up with a series of weak, rapid slashes. Her movements were controlled, and her strikes were focused on his abdomen. Her plan was to weaken his armor's defenses so that her next attack would penetrate. She finished by blink-dashing through with a glorious slash... one could swear there were cherry blossom petals in the wind.

Knight was knocked onto the floor, the strike took his breath, and he fell, helpless onto the ground.

Black quickly tried another trick, he charged a large fireball in his hands.

(Um, not to be hasty or whatnot, but what happened to Red?)

"Whoops." Realizing her mistake, Uisu could only just attempt to throw her arms in front of her in a pointless attempt to soften the blow. She got hit by the explosion, got sent flying a few feet, and fell over.

(Whoops)

Shaman was knocked out, bringing Team Dungeon down to five people.

Red was knocked down by the fireball, quickly trying to stand up and strike Zapor with his blade.

Masako turned and knocked Knight's weapon away, sheathing her blade. "Sorry."

Zapor got hit with e strike, getting a cut on his arm. Zapor then exhaled smoke from his mouth, which would cover Red's vision.

knight could not get up, he was defeated, leaving Tema Dungeon down to four people.

Red, with his vision all kinds of messed up now, looked around desperatly trying to find Zapor.

Zapor ran from behind Red, coming at him with a fiery spin kick.

Between the smoke, and the fact that he couldn't see behind him, was hit by the kick, knocked out, and leaving only three members of Tema Dungeon left.

Masako didn't mean to disgrace Knight by defeating him so quickly, but she couldn't risk a drawn-out battle in the arena. The less power that Foxtrot gains from the tournament, the better.

Saren willed the tendrils to raise up, taking black with them by the ankles in an attempt to repeatedly smash black into the arena floor hard enough to give him a moderate concussion.

"Pearl!" White called, sending the tendrils back.

"We need someone to take out White!" Kala called.

Neo threw a roundel grenade onto Rogue, causing him to be blown onto his back, knocking him out, and leaving Team Dungeon down to 2 members.

Saren sighed in the shadows, he was getting aggravated. "Someone wants to play fire with fire? Fine.. I'll give them something to think about.." He muttered as he took out a small scalpel from one of his coat pockets before lunging out of black's shadow, intending on severing one of his achilles heels.

Kala quickly through a fire ball toward's Saren's hands, and also Black's feet, causing him to trip and fall on his head, leaving him unconscious.

"If you hurt him too bad, we'll be kicked out!" Kala warned him. "I want my rocket!"

Zapor looked at Kala with a confused look. "I'm pretty sure it would be more classy. It probably be a bounce house!"

Neo looked over to White. "Well..." He told her. "Let's get this over wi-"

"Surrender!" White called out.

(Victory! theme)

"And our winners are, The Mythic Knights!" Ursa called out.

"Oh man, you guys are good!" Shaman exclaimed.

"My sword..." Knight moaned, in a nearly crying voice.

"I say, that was certainly an interesting battle." Red agreed. "I don't have a doubt that you all will make it to the finals."

"I lost 'cause I tripped? Man..." Black sighed.

"Do good guys!" Rogue told them. "We'll be rooting for you."

"Celia." Neo said. "Got anything?"

"Yeah, I think so." Celia said. "It's weird, I'm getting...something coming from outside the arena, pretty far away..."

"Zero's around." Kala noted in a hushed tone. "I can sense his aura. Apollo's not though."

"I'll have some of the others check out the weird signal I'm getting." Celia told the group. "It's not Zero, but my computer doesn't really know how to handle it."

"How's Trinity?" Kala asked.

"Stirring." Celia said. "Besides the fact that she's constantly gaining power, she's also beginning to wake up, and we don't have a cure yet."

"That was an amazing battle!" Ursa told the fighters. "If you take a quick rest, we'll be ready to begin the semi-finals battle!"

"Ok!" Zapor said. "Someone wake me up when we're called!"

 'Phew.' Uisu thought to herself, getting up an walking over to her team. '' 'That quick change wasn't enough to give me away, thank goodness. I'm surprised, though. I've been all over the news and stuff. Well, not Uisu-me, but Platinum-me. Ugh. I better just stop worrying.'''

Part 2 (A): The Semi-Finals; The Mythic Knights vs Team Battle
"What do you think about the battles?" Minor asked.

"Well, we have a lot of very nice teams here. Team Battle's all aggressive strategy has seemed to work for them so far, but surprisingly these other three teams are doing quite nicely despite being all newcomers. The Mythic Knights did well in their battle, as did Resonance's 'battle' if you could even call it that. What strikes me as interesting is Cardinal, the team from Shamar, they're battles are going by fairly quick, and not in the normal way. I think, in the end, it will all come down to who can best utilize their team in the most...creative way."

"Speaking of Creative," Ursa announced. "We have the underdog team, The Mythic Knights vs the reigning champions Team Battle. Neo, Saren, Zapor, Masako, Kala, and Uisu vs Rumble, Flash, Dipity, Arc, Zenex, and Visor. Ready, Set, KILL EACH OTHER!"

(Semi final theme )

Rumble, a man in a leather jacket and jeans, quickly went to punch towards Zapor, sending a fist full of frost at him.

Flash, a woman wearing a large pair of headphones, a hoodie, and torn up pants blasted a large wave of light at Uisu, not to damage, but to blind.

Dipity, in a full red almost super hero-like outfit took her two sai, and tryed to jab them towards Saren's right arm.

Arc quickly unsheathed his sword and swung over at Neo, doing his best to make Neo fall.

Visor stared at Masako with a giant two-handed zweihander, covered in runes and etchings, he pointed his sword at her and stared maliciously.

Kala quickly stepped out of range and tried to start dancing, to make sure her team stayed healed, only for Zenex to quickly follow her, trying to plunge his clawed gloves into her skin, making her unable to dance, and since she didn't have any combat magic, she was forced to dodge as much as she could.

Saren moved to the left to dodge before attempting to slash Dipity with the blade of scythe.

Zapor leaped to dodge the punch, the breathed out a large fire ball that split into 6 other slightly smaller fireballs, coming directly toward Rumble.

Dipity jumped back a couple of feet and began to try a very fast assault on Saren.

Rumble quickly froze the fireball, oddly enough being able to put it out and sent a wall of frost at Zapor.

Neo jumped back several times only to be struck once by Arc, causing him to double over.

"Master!" Kala called out, still trying to find time to start healing, but with Zenex's assault, she would never be able to find time.

Saren snarled, trying his best to block but receiving a few small cuts. "That.. Money.. Is.. Mine!" He shouted before he grabbed a vial from his pocket before tossing it at Dipity.

Zapor tried to block the wall of frost, but was blown back.

Masako simply nodded to accept Visor's challenge.

Dipity was smashed with the vial.

Rumble quickly ran behind Zapor, and tried to punch him again with a fist of frost.

Visor continuted to hold his sword at Masako, nodding back at her, his eyes deadlocked onto hers.

Masako drew her blade. She knew he wasn't going to let her move after him... so she had to strike first. She struck the ground, turning the terrain in front of her into a field of jagged stones.

Uisu simply stared at her. "Seriously? My entire theme is, like, colours 'n stuff. Did you actually think I was gonna get affected by my own element? (I mean, sure, I'm mostly colours, but white is a colour too.) Anyway, I'm just gonna stand here and charge up my attack, if that's okay. Please don't interfere." Uisu took on a semi-meditative stance. It seemed like she wasn't paying attention to Flash anymore, but an expert would realize that she was actually quite aware of her surroundings.

Zapor quickly engulfed himself in flames, trying to get some space Rumble.

Visor quickly jumped into the air, a part of his sword began to glow, and he jabbed it into the ground. Several rocks came up and were thrown towards Masako.

Flash stood in front of Uisu. "I was hoping for that." He told her and did nothing.

Rumble froze the ground skated his way with Zapor. "Going somewhere?"

Arc took the sword and beat Neo down with it, forcing him into the ground, he then conjured some lightning and electrocuted Neo.

Kala bobbed and weaved through Zenex's attacks until his claws caught upon her skin, leaving a large cut on her arm. "Ow!" She called out. "That really hurt."

Zapor slipped and slid on the ground. However, he was skatingin an uncontrollable direction,which would make it hard for Rumble to hit him.

"Well, okay then." Uisu just sat there. Her dress turned a darkish orange.

Flash mirrored Uisu, and his clothes also started to turn darkish orange.

The vial released its contents when it shattered, with glass shards leaving a few cuts on her face, a concentrated dose of rattle snake venom that a small portion went into her blood stream thanks to the cuts.

Saren snickered, he had paid a rattlesnake he knew quite a fair bit of money to inject the poison she naturally creates thanks to her species into a few vials and paid a chemist to replicate the venom in a more concentrated form. Now he would see the result.

"Soooo... You just gonna stand here?" Uisu said, staring at Flash.

"You asked for me to not disturb you," Flash sat down, then said in a hushed tone. "Platinum, why are you here? There are people who are...concerned about your well-being." His tone was simple, almost something you'd expect from teacher. "Not bad people mind you, just one who is concerned."

The poison certainly burned, and that was what Dipity was hoping for. She looked up at Saren and smiled. "Thanks, hun." And with that, she began to channel the poison, recreating it within her veins, after all she did have control of the element of poison.

Arc lifted Neo's battered head up. "Did you honestly think you could beat us?" He asked. "Look, kid, you got skill, there's no doubt about it, but you don't have talent. You see everyone else in your team, they're somethin' special, they got gifts, and powers you can't understand. Training, immortality, darkness prodigy, even the genie girl, and amnesia over there are both more talented than you. The point is kid, your normal. The fact that you made it to the semi-finals is proof that you got something, but it doesn't make you any different than any other mobian in high school. A normal person like you could never stand to defeat us."

Saren looked at Dipity in mild shock before facepalming and letting out one long and loud expletive starting with the letter 'F'.

Now might be an excellent opportunity for attack since Saren was seemingly off guard while dropping the F-bomb.

Uisu tensed up. "Tell me, where did you get that name from? Me, Platinum, the multi-murderer? What are you, crazy!? I'm just a traveller, stopping by." Her robes reverted to a pure white.

"Are you trying to trick me?" Flash whispered to her. "Yes, Platinum, the girl who was convicted and found guilty for murder, escaped jail and decided it would be a good idea become Uisu-Hyper. Not to mention with your robes changing color it's pretty obvious it's you. Luckily most of these people either aren't from around here or have had so much on their plate they don't recognize you." He looked around at the battle. "Platinum, the guy I know can help you, but so can your team, do you trust them?" He smiled a little bit. "Clock-watch worked with them."

Dipity charged up all the poison she could, focusing it all into a large ball of toxic liquid that she hoped would be so corrosive it would melt through Saren's armor, but something was wrong. As she charged up she used so much energy, more than normal, and she couldn't stop. It felt like something was draining her energy, something bad. It took her a while but eventually she had run out, and passed out onto the ground.

"Uh..." Ursa announced. "Major...Minor...you guys know what just...happened?"

"Looks like Dipity overclocked her poison charge!" Major called back, even though it was obvious to anyone in the arena that overclocking was not what just happened. In any case, Saren was now free to aid any of his companions, and considering the state of Neo and Kala, they could use it.

"Three things. First thing, it's not Uisu-Hyper, it's Uisu~Hyper. You need to pronounce the tilde, it adds panache. Second, I didn't think that the robes were that obvious. I've never been seen wearing them. And third, DO NOT mention this to anybody. I can't just magically get un-convicted, believe me," she said, pulling out a spell book, "I've tried. I'm building a new me now. I've moved away from where the incident happened, building up a name for myself here. I don't want to have to deal with this. But sure, I guess I might consider telling someone on my team the truth. Anyways," She said, standing up, now surrounded in a faint, white-ish aura, "we're here to fight, are we not?"

Saren looked at Kala, Neo and their opponents before deciding to aid Neo first. He figured Kala would be able to last a bit longer while he helped Neo. So with that in mind, he tossed his scythe at Arc. Making sure to hold it in a way so the blunt end would smack Arc in the back of the head while he was busy holding Neo's head in a vice grip and monologuing.

Arc was knocked by the scythe, his head was thrown forward, and he rolled with it's momentum, over Neo and opposite of Saren. "Now this is interesting."

Neo stood up, wiping blood off of his face, his claws scuffed up and dirty, for the first time ever, they looked dirty and worn. He took a deep breath, and looked to Saren. "Help Kala." He told him. There was a look in his eyes that reflected how he felt, a feeling he was sure Saren had felt at some point in his life, not the battle lust, or the want to crush an enemy, but the need to completely destroy an enemy, the need to recover his pride, the need to prove himself to everyone, including himself.

Flash smirked. "Why is he always right." He stood up and set another flash of light around himself and Uisu. With the light all around the two of them, he very quickly started to fade out of his old clothes, into his new black chainmail, and hood, with a strange mask on. His height got smaller, and it was obvious now that he was carrying a large mettallic case with him. The rest of Uisu's team would recognize him as Aero, but since they had not met, Uisu would not know him. "You need friends right now Platinum, if you can't find friends, you won't be able to find Safety." He pulled a katana out of his large metal case. "By the way, you may be here to fight, but I'm here to help a friend, that's all."

In the meantime, Masako was hopping from stone to stone to reach Visor. When it appeared she was going for a midair strike, she quickly dropped to the ground and attempted to strike his weapon out of his hand.

Saren looked at Neo and nodded. "Welp, looks like Neo's ready for round two.. Have fun~"

Saren said as he mocked Arc, recalling his scythe and trying the same tactic he used on Arc on Zenex.

Another rune on Visor's blade began to glow, and he sent a large gusts of wind at Masako.

Zenex was hit with the scythe, he quickly looked up and turned to face who he was fighting now.

And that was when Kala, who had no idea what to and had never performed an offensive action in her life, raised her leg and kicked Zenex forward, her shoes charged in a yellow, electrifying aura, almost like a stun gun.

Neo faced off against Arc, his claws ready for anything that was about to come after him. "You're right, I am normal." Neo told him. "I don't have any magic, or special training, or even any rare powers. I am an average mobian, who goes to an average high school, that just so happens to give average training in combat but there is more to it than that."

Saren looked at Kala. "Damn." He whistled as he walked up to her while recalling his scythe back to his hands.

Masako wielded her scabbard-sword as her off-hand weapon, and began twirling in the air with both blades. She commanded Visor's gusts as her own, enveloping herself in a whirlwind. The whirlwind also picked up stones from the battlefield, hurling them at Visor.

The rocks began ot be hurled at Visor, one going straight for his blade, which chipped it, revealing it's weakness; the blade was weak.

"I'm more than just the sum of my parts." Neo told Arc. "I am more than a simple mobian, living his everyday life, and I'm here fighting for something much bigger than that." The wind in the area began to blow much more strongly.

Saren walked closer to Zenex.

"How do you know this? How did you find me? This place is quite a ways away from the incident, and it wasn't that obvious. Who... are you?" Plat- er, Uisu said, the powerful glow intensifying.

Masako dispelled the whirlwind with great force, sheathing her scabbard-sword to cast spells with her left hand instead. She cast a simple, non-elemental attack at Visor, which travelled to his location and exploded.

Zapor breathed a large amount of fire out of his mouth, aiming towards Rumble.

Part 2 (B): Investigation
(Only one character per person in this section, if you please! -Neo)

Era walked through the subway system of Station Square in the oddly quiet city, the farther they got from the arena, the quieter it got, which only made it more errie. "I don't see anything." Era said on her radio.

"My computer is picking up something." Celia announced. "There's got to be something down there."

Lexi followed Era through the subway system, after she told Leo (more like forced him) to stay back with the others.

"Look around." Era commanded. "If there's something here we need to kill it."

The sound of something crawling, like rats, echoed through the tunnel.

"Find it." Era drew her swords. "This is going to be a great birthday."

'You're telling me.. It's like a really early christmas for me.' Moros mouthed as he conjured an ethereal blade.

"''Jeez, is everyone in a murder mood?" ''Lexi thought to herself, getting her spikes ready.

"Wait, it's Neo's birthday?" Celia asked.

"More importantly it's mine." Era smirked. "But yes, I suppose it's his too. Now if we're all done with that..." Era bashed the side of her blade on the wall, causing a very loud sound to echo throughout the tunnel. "Come out!" She demanded.

A sound of scuttering followed as an abomination of a creature entered the room. It was large, and smelled awful. It's scent was akin to that of rotting meat in 90 degree weather. It had five, slanted and mutilated eyes on it's face, and no mouth to speak of. It's body was obviously composed of it tanned flesh, all stretched and pulled to fit over a pile of meat. It's claws were made of bone, and even though it was humanoid, it did not resemble anything mobian or human.

The worst part, was it's scream.

With no mouth to speak of, this beast screamed out, but it didn't sound like one beast. It sounded like thousands of people, women, men, children, it was perfectly able to replicate it all, not every voice said the same thing, some called out for other people, or 'mom' or were just screams of terror. It gave ablood curdling scream that even made Era flinch, it gave off an aura of unease and almost made Era sick. In fact, it's aura of fear resonated to everyone within the group.

"W-what is that...?" Era stuttered, stunned to move.

The abomination roared again.

"What is what?" Celia asked. "Did you find anything?"

"C-C-C-C-C-Celia..." Era moaned. "It's...a monster..."

"What do you mean?" Celia called again through the radio.

Era didn't get a chance to say anything, the beast, in an almost inhuman speed, forced it's giant stump of a hand onto Era, smashing her into the ground. The sound of flesh meeting concrete, the concrete breaking, and bones being snapped in half all blended together into a chorus of pain as Era was defeated in a single blow.

"What do you mean?" Celia asked, talking to someone outside of hearing from the radio team. "Guys, if that is Foxtrot, do not engage! There is no way we can take him on yet!"

Ciel, being at the back of the group, said nothing up until now. She opened a portal underneath Era and transported her into her arms. "Right, I'm convinced. Move! Now!"

"Oh my..." Lexi started to say, but then tried to take off running.

Foxtrot roared once more at the group and began to charge with inhuman speed, it was going to catch up and quickly too.

Being chased by Foxtrot was bringing a bad memory for Lexi. Reminding her of a baddream, being chased by killer whales, which would usually end in her getting eaten. "Crud, crud, crud."

Moros fired his ethereal blade at foxtrot while running, his aim being erratic since he was running and all.

Moros's ethereal blade was very interesting to Foxtrot, so much so that is began to replicate it and fired the same blade back at Moros.

Moros ducked under the blade, somewhat surprised, but he guessed that foxtrot's replication ethereal blade followed the same principals and limitations of the ones he can create with the key difference of the replication being slightly weaker than the original.

"We can't outrun it... if we hide somewhere, it might buy us some time! What about the utility tunnels?" Ciel asked.

Era moaned, and the radio played static, it seemed that Foxtrot was able to cut communications with anyone else.

And then there was a large surprise. A strange looking man, who looked mostly like a mobian, but you could not tell what kind exactly. He wore a grey jacket, with matching grey pants. His eyes were deep blue, and seemed to beam with knowledge. His fur was silver and unlike most mobians, whose fur and hair seemed to be the same color, his hair was brown. He carried a rapier, with a strange looking rovolver on the hilt which held four different colors on it; red, blue, yellow, and green. He spun the rovolver, having it land on blue and quickly stuck it into the ground, creating a wall of frost.

"Vitality." He said with a hint of an accent (I imagine gypsy) in his voice. "We got a girl here who is really hurt, she need some help, now."

"Got it." A girl in a red cloth suit, that looked sort of like a ninja's quickly ran to the group. "This way." She said. "I can heal her."

Lexi wondered who these people were and was about to ask l, but figured she should ask later and followed the girl in red.
