Roleplay:Cosmic Championship

Once in every existence, a mysterious force calls upon powerful fighters from across the multiverse to compete in a tournament of epic preportions. Sixteen fighters will compete in a four-round tournament, and the last one standing will challenge the reigning champion for the true title. To avoid users fighting themselves, only one character will be allowed per user. Once your character is registered, you will enter your info in Fighter Stats. Fight stats requires: Upon doing so, I will observe the character's page (if he/she has one) and set up the matches based on their moves and other information. Godmodding will not be tolerated. Compatability will be based on the character's backround information, and whether or not the character has a super form/access to chaos energy. If I see a character to be acting in an unfair/illogical manner, it will be dealt with immediately. The match-ups will be determined once all sixteen fighters have entered their stats. Spectator chat is limited to the Stadium (Audience). Fighters who are not currently in a match will talk in the Locker Room. Other basic rules are as follows: With all of this in mind, fighters and spectators alike are now free to enjoy the Cosmic Championship
 * one to five moves
 * one or two finishers
 * one to five super form moves (optional)
 * one or two super form finishers (optional)
 * swearing is to be kept to a minimum. Excessive swearing will be censored
 * sexual content is not allowed. Kissing, flirting, etc. will be restricted to the Stadium (Audience). The arena is no place for being romantic
 * no trolling or harassing other users
 * out of character talk is restricted to the talk page
 * no controlling your opponents actions. This is common in roleplays and I don't think it's very fair Example: He threw a punch and it was a direct hit.  He threw a punch.
 * there is no plot, so don't try to make one. You can back up whatever storylines you want in the Stadium (Audience) or the Locker Room, but other than that, it's just fights. No villain, no threat, just fights

Stadium (Audience)
Voice: Welcome one and all, heroes and villains from across the universe, to the Cosmic Championship! I've brought you all here to test your skills in the art of fighting, and hopefully to pass on the title of Cosmic Champion. Unfortunately there have been some... technical difficulties, so not every fighter has arrived. Take this time to get to know your opponents and prepare... for what is to come.

Inferna: i wonder how Tendril will do.

Tsunami: he's strong. and smart. i dont think we should be worried.

Cyclone: you sure about that? his new powers have made him a little.....arrogant.

Quake: like you?

Cyclone: i dont know what you're talking about

Flare: oh please. of course you're arrogant. it comes from your ability to suffocate people at will.

(Soro seems nervous)

Soro: I hope she'll be okay...

Inferna: who?

Soro: Huh? Oh, my friend Nora... She tends to go into things that may cause trouble... She always does...

Quake: Nora? as in Kouba? i think i know her.

A pink echidna with purple hair walked in and took a seat. "Looks like I won't be watching TV, then..oh well, this is much more exciting." She said to herself. She looked around, waiting for everything to begin.

Inferna: *to the echidna* what's your name?

Soro: Oh really? Well I'm her...

(Hears the large thud caused by Nora punching through the wall)

Soro: *sigh* The 1st round hasn't even started yet and she's already causing trouble... That's Nora for you!

She looked over at Inferna. "My name's Pearl. What's your name?" She said brightly.

Inferna: Pyra. but i prefer to be called Inferna.

Flare: *to Soro* could've been Tendril. he's been a bit arrogant lately.

"Nice to meet you, Inferna." She smiled. She then looked down in the direction of the locker rooms. "Gosh, I wonder what happened down there..."

(Soro's feathers ruffle up as he got a chill)

Soro: You probably don't want to know...

Pearl looked over at Soro with concern, then looked back down not saying anything.

Tsunami: no worries, no one's hurt down there. and it was Nora by the way.

(Soro looks up at Pearl)

Soro: Hmm? What is it? Something on my face? Or you just never saw a winged hedgehog before?

(She wasn't still looking at him, by the way.)

She looked back at him. "Oh, no. That wasn't it." She said. "I've seen a winged hedgehog before..come to think of it, why do you have wings, anyway?"

(Soro looked away, it shows that wasn't the first time he was asked that)

Soro: Well, I don't know... My parents didn't have wings, nor my grandparents... The doctors presumed it as a birth defect...

No normal birth defect gives you wings...whether they work or not. She thought. Something must have happened to him. She then noticed him looking away. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

Soro: Nah, it's okay. Infact, the thing you said about another winged hedgehog kinda made me feel a little better... Like, I'm not... so different.

"Hehe. I'm glad." She said. Poor thing. She thought. ''I'd better not talk too much about her here. I might cause some trouble, mentioning Cymbeline's origins.''

Soro: Eh, I don't care about it that much though... The only thing I care about right now, is Nora making it out alive!

Teal: *peeks over the railing* When are they gonna start?

"Don't worry, I'm sure she'll be alright. I doubt they'd allow killing in this tournament." She said encouragingly. She then paused for a few moments. "....Do they?"

MHF: No. Upon dealing a successful finishing blow, the loser is sent back to the immediately Locker Room. That, however, does not prevent fighters from becoming fatally injured.

Soro: O_O;;;

Pearl fell silent, with a large sweat drop rolling down the side of her face.

MHF: ...But then again, I don't run the championship, so I shouldn't be the one spewing out information. *looks to pearl and smiles*

Pearl gave a fake laugh, but still felt uneasy. "Y-yeah..Of course." I hope Smash will pull through alright...

(Soro does a facepalm)

(Soro then heard a explosion, and then he sighed while his wings drooped)

Soro: If you had a list of people you least wanted to meet, Nora in her Anger Mode will be on the top!

Inferna: i might be able to think of a few scarier beings

Soro: What's scarier then a Short-tempered seedrian who carries a over 200lb EX guitar on her back who also can blast mulitple lazars?

Teal: And took down the lord of darkness!

Soro: She didn't take down a lord.... it was a god... >>

Tsunami: how about the ancient beings Ultima and Hypra who, with their constant conflict, have caused insane amounts of chaos ultimately destroying each other, all happening once every hundred years

Flare: *adds* since the dawn of time itself

Teal: Well, I was captured and starved for a week, so maybe I wasn't thinking staight, Soro! So kill me.

Soro: I must admitt, Nora did tell me it was really the shadow of the god Loki she fought before... But none of the less wanted to destory the world... She also told me the real Loki was sick because his shadow was using him... But that happened around a year ago, she probably won't say anything if you ask her, she tends to leave the past behind! That, or she has memory as short as her temper...

(Soro looks down, his feather ruffled again)

Soro: But, I know Nora is strong.. but.. I can't help but.... worry about her safety.....

(Soro started blushing)

Teal: I can just SENSE that you're about to launch into a speech about how you and Nora aren't "together" and that you're only friends. Trust me, I've memorized it.

(Soro glared at Teal, and then covered his face with his wings to hide his blushing)

Pearl just giggled at how easy it was to read Soro's feelings and mind.

MHF: *walks over to Soro and examines his wings* Hmm, apologies if I am making you uncomfortable, but I couldn't help notice these magnificant wings of yours. Quite a gift you have.

(Soro lifts his wings from his face)

Soro: Well... that's... uh... a first!

MHF: I fail to see why. You shouldn't be ashamed of them, for they are truly a thing to be admired. Healthy, too, by the looks of it. Do you fly often?

Soro: Yes, quite alot... But I still think it's rather freakish for a hedgehog to have wings... and that other ability...

MHF: Freakish? Heavens no! Anything that can be put to good use is a wonderful thing in my eyes. I also happen to know a hedgehog with wings just like you... or rather, knew a hedgehog. And you said something about another ability. Would you mind sharing?

Soro: Well, I also have the ability to fully control wind... Unlike my wings, my wind ability does have a background because my grandfather also had the same ability. My father said it skips a generation, that's why I have it, and he doesn't.

MHF: Well then... why don't we play a little game of catch. *raises hand, it glows red. A rock from down next to the ring flys into the air* Hmhmhm... Catch!

(Soro lets out a sigh, but then practically vanished as he bursted into the air and snatched the rock and then quickly went back to his seat)

Soro: Is that what you wanted me to do? I don't like showing off much...

MHF: Well, I wouldn't call it showing off. If you can do it, then do it. If you maybe looped around the rock a few times first, that would be showing off. What I'm trying to say is... you shouldn't be afraid to embrace your gifts.

Soro: I only use them when I have to, unlike Nora. Her entering this championship is a example...

Tikala: *a tanish echidna heads out to the front near Soro with a small child by her side* okay Espiata now dont get mad if daddy losses okay?

Espiata: okay mommy. i hope dad can win.

Tikala: i hope so to honey. i hope so.

Pearl gasped softly. "Look! They're starting!" She leaned forward to see Darkness stepping into the ring. "It sounds like your friend Nora will be fighting this one." She said, looking Soro at the corner of her eye.

Tsunami: *looks up at the tournament board* Tendril's in the third match.

(Soro sat up looking unfazed about the anoucement, but the fact he's sweating a little couldn't be avoided)

MHF: *gazes at Soro* Ah... you have feelings for her, don't you?

Tikala: *sitting close to Soro and over hears the MHF* dont worry there both good fighters. Darkness knows when he can or cant win and he knows when to stop. so no worry right?

"He's going unarmed, too." Pearl added. "Unarmed against a giant....Is that a guitar?"

Inferna: looks like it.

Locker Room
Voice: Welcome one and all, heroes and villains from across the universe, to the Cosmic Championship! I've brought you all here to test your skills in the art of fighting, and hopefully to pass on the title of Cosmic Champion. Unfortunately there have been some... technical difficulties, so not every fighter has arrived. Take this time to get to know your opponents and prepare..... for what is to come.

(Nora lied down with her eyes closed, but was smirking)

Tendril: what do you have to smile about?

Eclipse: She's probably happy that she doesn't have to do anything yet. I, on the other hand, am not. *walks over to the corner and watches the door*

Tendril: heh. we're just eager to show our strength.

Smash walked through the entrance right as the voice began to make the announcement. He took a look around the area, the locker room made him feel almost at home. Feels almost just like the Blitz Pit. He thought to himself. He listened to the rest of the announcement, and rose his eyebrows. "Techinical difficulties? Hm..." Well, I might as well make myself comfortable, and get ready like the man said. He then set his shoulder bag of stuff down beside a chair, and started to do a few stretches before sitting down.

Krinkinko: Hey Smash! Long time no see!

Tendril: Smash and Krink. i remember you two.

Aero:(Shrugs then walks in the room)What is this place I just got an email there was fighting here so I came.

Smash smiled a little. "Hey Krink, Tendril, How've you guys been?"

Tendril: pretty good, you?

"Ah, I've been alright. So, you guys happy to be in a real tournament this time?" He asked, referring to the events of the Shadow Crystal Cloud tournament.

Tendril: yeah. Nightfall and i are eager to show our new skills. *grins*

Krinkinko: (Grins) What do you mean by real this tournament has a sponsor! (playing dumb)

Summer:*hanging by his feet on one of the pull-up bars* This is harder than it AH! *falls*

"Yeah, A sponser with no intents on universal domination." Smash said in a sarcastic tone. He then heard a thump on the floor, and looked towards the pull-up bars. "Hey, you okay over there?" He called.

Voice: What's the point in dominating the universe when I am already a controlling body in it?

Tendril:hey. whats your name?

Summer: Summer. Hey.... you look kinda like someone my dad once told me about. *stands up* Have you ever met a 'Static the Hedgehog'? And yes, I'm ok.

Smash looked at Krinkinko. "Static The Hedgehog...Hm, I know I've never heard of him."

Tendril: no. my name's Shade Nightwing. but i prefer to be called Tendril

Krinkinko: Smash, how's Pearl doing? She saved our skins last time. If your wondering Rachel's doing just fine.

Summer: Ok... so, Tendril, you said you know Nightfall?

Tendril: yup. in a way, your looking at him.

"She's doing great." He said. "She couldn't come, but she said that she'll watch us on TV. And that's also good to hear."

Voice: *Sigh* I suppose I'll televise it.

Summer: *to the voice* Hey buddy in the roof, tell me WHY exactly you had to kidnap me again?

"Huh?" Smash's eyebrows rose high. "Was this not already going to be broadcasted? I'd expect something as big as this would have at least someone recording it all. And what's this I'm hearing about a kidnapping?"

Voice: It wasn't a kidnapping, it was a summoning. You should be honoured to even be in this sacred place.

Summer: You mean nearly getting killed by ninjas and being responsible for the death of about 10 civilians? Yeah, TOTALLY a summoning!

Krinkinko: Who said summoning because I have a new summon!

Voice: I had nothing to do with such things. I brought you here, and I brought everyone else here. You don't want to make me angry. You can finish this squabling amoungst yourselves. Even the omnipotent get stressed...

Summer: *sighs and thinks* Yeah, because your ninjas did it.... *out loud* alright. *turns to Tendril* I feel like I can only relate to you. You use darkness too, right?

Smash frowned, looking a little confused. "Uh, I don't think there's anything to finish between us three, I mean I didn't have anything to do with that either. I just wanted to know why this wasn't being broadcasted before..And where exactly ARE you, anyway?"

Tendril: yeah, im an umbra.

Summer: Nice to meet you. Anyways..... *sits down* what next?

Tendril: not sure.

Smash sighed and sat down back at his seat. "I just want to have a normal tournament. No evil overlords, no ninjas, just..plain..competition." He said, sounding tired of it all.

Tendril: So, Nora. how are you doing?

(Nora acts asleep)

Summer: *picks up a stick he found randomly on the floor and begins to poke Nora* Wake up, sleepyhead.

Voice: (to Smash only) You will have a normal tournament. Whatever ninjas were there, they were not my doing. However, this is not exactly a common tournament. I can bring anyone you wish to observe your fights in the stadium, but to televise it across the multiverse is a large feat, even for one such as myself.

"Hm, I suppose that does make sense." Smash said, nodding. Since this won't be televised, I'll ask you to bring my sister. But first, just who exactly are you, anyway? And where are you?"

Voice: (again only to Smash) The deed is done. Now, you are aware of the multiverse, correct? All I wish to tell you now is that I am a being who can not exist soely in one Zone, but in all of them. You are a great warrior, and I have a feeling that you will go far in this tournament. At that time you shall learn more...

"The Multiverse...Yes, I have a pretty good idea what that is." Smash said. I've had some experience in the past with such matters... He thought. "Yes, I see. Thank you for the compliment. I will do my best, and won't disappoint you."

Tendril: *chuckles softly* oh Smash, you can't possibly hope to beat me with my new powers.

(Nora snaps Summer's stick, she didn't look too happy)

Nora: Do you poke everybody who's taken a nap with a stick? I'm not worried about this, unlike you blokes, I don't give a care if I lost or not! I lost many times in the Grand Prix, so it's not a big a deal in this championship either. I'm just entering because I'm darn bored....

(Nora knockes her headset's glasses down covering her eyes, but you can tell she went back to sleep)

Smash rose his eyebrow at him. "Maybe, But we don't know that yet!" He said. "I may not have any "Special Givings", but that ain't gonna stop me."

Eclipse: Just hope that neither of you are in the same half of the bracket as I, or else you won't make it far.

Tendril: you really believe that? ha. i've got more up my sleeve than my last tournament. you know what im talking about, dont you Smash?

(Nora raises her glasses revealing her deep blue eyes)

Nora: Ya thinkin' because I'm some flower, I'm suppose to be weak, huh? Well, be careful dude, because some flowers have thorns!

(Nora places her glasses on top of her head again)

Eclipse: Look, *gazes at each fighter* I don't plan on losing. This tournament showcases the great. I will not fall to anyone, not even... flowers.

Tendril: *chuckles* ever face part of the ancient villain Ultima and an umbrakinetic at the same time? didn't think so.

Smash folded his arms. "I'm not saying anyone in here is weak, I know you're all strong. Words alone will not prove your strength, so save it for the tournament." He eyed Tendril at the corner of his eye. "That means you. I know you're powerful, but I still remain unphased."

Eclipse: An umbrakinetic is nothing. I've faced the spirit of a psycokinetic, the strongest in the multiverse, and one. Did you do that? Didn't think so.

(Nora swings her heavy guitar right next to Eclipse's head with one hand)

Nora: I'm stronger then I look, so watch your mouth or I'll just go ahead and remove it!

(Nora draws back her guitar and places it on her back)

Nora: But I do have a reason to win... But it's not a big deal!

(Eclipse stared at the guitar, chuckled, then stayed silent)

Tendril: still never faced a part of Ultima. i'd know. *to Smash* you haven't seen my new powers.

"So?" Smash said, raising his eyebrow. "I'm not saying I did. What I'm saying is shut up with the gloating."

(Nora heard Eclipse chuckle and knowning she can't attack till her round, she took her anger on the wall and punched a hole right through it, then she yawned and went to "sleep")

Tendril: someone's got a temper

Smash sighed, holding his forehead. "This'll be a long day."

(Nora woke up lifted her head towards everybody)

Nora: Uh, when's the round gonna start again?

Smash just shrugged. "I don't know. Sponser said they were facing technical difficulties, last I heard."

Tendril: we're probably just waiting for the other competetors

Nora: Oh, well okay then...

(Nora placed her guitar up against the wall and started really sleeping on it)

Smash, out of curiosity, walked towards the hole in the wall and peeked out.

(a small flame appears in the hole and starts laughing)

"Hey, I can see the-UURRGHII!!" In an instant, Smash threw a nearly lightning quick punch at the flame out of fright.

flame: *keeps laughing, growing bigger*

(Nora goes evasive and appears on the other side of the locker room staring at the flame)

Nora: Uh... What the heck is that thing?

Flame: *grows and becomes Tendril*

Tendril: *sitting in the hole, half of him was red and orange instead of his normal black and purple* im the fire in the hole.

Summer: Oh, ha ha ha, Tendril. *looks at broken stick* .....sorry stick.

Smash performed a backflip, getting away from the flame. "I don't know, but I don't like it!" he then saw as it changed to Tendril, and rolled his eyes. "Gimmie a break, man.."

Tendril: *becomes shadow and goes back to his seat, back to normal now*

Summer: *one of his quills begins twitching* so, what are we gonna do while some people are sitting around drinking soda rather than get over here?

Tendril: *shrugs* dunno

"Yeah, it's painfully obvious that some people are getting bored, right now." Smash sighed, sounding a bit annoyed.

Summer: *goes over to the bars and begins to hang from his feat again* Wake me when I need to wake up. *closes eyes*

(Out of boredom, Nora starts doing graffiti on the walls with a spray can)

Aero:Thats it!I'm taking a nap.(Lies on the couch in the locker room and starts to snore)

Liger: What up, various species?

Aero:(Woke up then quickly lifted his head towards Liger)Who the heck are you?

Tendril: *eyes Liger*

Liger: I am Liger Moyasu. My tail flame speaks for it self.

Tendril: a pyro eh? hmph. you wont go far if you're fighting me.

???: Enough! *the voice came from the wall behind Tendril*

Liger: Is that so?

Eclipse: Hm? *looks towards the voice in the wall, seemingly interested*

Tendril: *looks at the wall* what did you say to me?

Tendril's shadow: *climbs off the wall and looks Tendril in the eye* i said enough! i've had it with your arrogant atitude! you've had it since Nightfall sealed his soul inside you and i'm sick of it!

Smash glared towards Tendril's direction. "Yeah. Whether you're as good as you're boasting, no one wants to hear you brag and gloat about how badly you'll beat them before the tournament even starts! You're just grating on everyone's nerves, hence that hole in the wall! So CAN IT!"

Tendril: *ignores Smash. stands and faces his shadow* you will not talk to your master that way!

Tendril's shadow: i'll talk to my master anyway i want!

Tendril: i made you loyal to me and me alone!

Tendril's shadow: you also gave me a brain! and with that came free will!

Nora: Wow, a animated shadow... Now doesn't that remind me of someone I know...

(Nora spoke sarcasticly, and finished putting her name on the wall)

Tendril: *rolls eyes* i dont have to take this from my own shadow! *walks off*

Tendril's shadow: *sigh. turns to the others* hey. could you guys do me a favor?

Smash sighed and then looked at the shadow. "What is it?"

Tendril's shadow: if your first match is with Tendril, give him one heck of a fight. even if you cant beat him, at least give it everything you've got. knock him off his high horse. show him that just because he's two beings now, dosen't make him a god.

"Oh I sure as heck WILL!" Smash said, cracking his knuckles. "If I don't win, I'll take him down with me. Of course, that's only if I do end up fighting him."

(the spray paint shifted to say "Nice Try" and splashed onto Nora's face)

Tendril's shadow: thank you.

(a clank was heard and Tendril was thrown back in the room, tiny cuts on his cheek. a black hedgehog with glowing silver streaks and sharp knuckle spikes walks in.)

Nightfall: Tendril. your shadow is right. your out of control.

"No proble-" Smash was interrupted by the clank, and then looked over at Nightfall. ''This guy looks pretty tough. Especially if he's going at Tendril outside of the tournament. But hey, he deserved it.''

Tendril: *to Nightfall* i dont know what your talking about.

Nightfall: yes you do. im talking about you acting all high and mighty just because you have me to back you up! you need to cool it with the attitude.

Aero:(Finally he flashed his eyes open and sat straight up)All of you your strong but there is no need for bragging like little kids who won a basketball game unless you are just kids.

(Nora's fury showed more intense then before, if she could control fire, the whole building would be burnt! But instead, she started blasting lazars at the wall until she did a Complex Lazar and blew the whole thing up)

Nora: WHEN IS IT MY ROUND SO I CAN BEAT THE CRUD OUT OF MY OPPONENT!?!?!?!?!?

(the lasers are held suspended at their end-points. Nothing is blown up)

Voice: Please, Miss Kouba, save this... fury, for the battles. They will begin as soon as the remaining four fighters arrive.

(the lasers disappear)

Smash looked at Nora. "Cool it, will ya? You're not making this any easier for the rest of us." He turned and walked to sit back down in his chair.

Tendril: *smirks*

Nightfall: *to Tendril* you too!

Tendril: why should i?

Nightfall: simple. *glares into his eyes* you don't cool it, and maybe i'll go hang out in Flare for a while. got it?

Tendril: right. sorry.

Nightfall: good *nods to Nora and Summer. opens his mouth and a silver mist pours out and into Tendril's mouth. body collapses into a pile of metal dust*

Aero:Hmm witch one would be the best to rob (looks at Smash)That should do!

Voice: Ah, another challenger arrives...

(nobody enters the room)

Voice: ...Four remain. The moment of truth approaches

Smash sat down at his chair, and waited patiently.

Eclipse: *looks up* What are you talking about? There's no one else here. Still the twelve of us. *sigh*

Voice: *chuckles*

Tendril: *closes his eyes and begins to focus*

The doors opened, and a cyan hedgehog walked inside slowly. Strapped to his back was a sword with 6 gems on the handle, and a blue backpack with red straps. He looked around, seeing most of the fighters inside. "This must be the Locker Room..." He said softly. He then noticed the hole in the wall. "What happened here?"

Tendril's shadow: *gestures to Nora* she got mad

He looked over at Nora and frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Kyle?" Smash stood up from his seat, looking at the hedgehog.

"Smash! Hello there, friend." Kyle walked towards him, and the two shook hands. "I did not expect to see you here."

"Likewise. How have you been?" The two began chatting like old friends.

Tendril: *ignoring them. opens his eyes and at the same time says* Dark Eye. *his eyes reverse colors, each one becoming it's opposite. his pupils became white, the whites became black, and his red irises became green. looks around. his gaze stops at Aero. points at him* you. bandit. dont even think about it.

Summer: Nightfall! How's it been going, buddy? *adjusts a device strapped to his wrist*

(Nora fell asleep again, she seems to do that after every time she gets mad)

Nora: *snores*

Tendril: *to Summer* you know Nightfall left right? i can release him if you want to talk to him

Aero:Heh hehe I know I'm a bandit and trust me if you got any gold hand it over or your not gonna like where your going to Die!

Tendril's shadow: *rolls eyes* and i thought Tendril was acting like a jerk.

Aero:I heard that!(takes a deep breath)The only reason I became a Bandit!Is because people treated me as an outcast!Do you know what thats like huh huh!

Tendril's shadow: in a way yes. until the Shadow Crystal Cloud Tournament i could've sworn i was the only living shadow in existence.

Tendril: i haven't but i bet i can top that.

Nora: I can't, I'm just a run away who likes to spray "tags" on walls...

(Nora woke up)

Tendril: i've had an experience far worse than anything you've gone through, bandit.

Aero:Really you have been sent on fire and had all your fur burned completely grey other then a few brown stripes!

Tendril: ever lost a family member? well i've lost my whole home town! and on my sixth birthday too!

Aero:I lost my whole village everybody died except me and my brothers!

Tendril: yeah, lucky you. i had no one! everyone in my home town was killed by a random army of light beasts! I was all alone until i met Tsunami.

Eclipse: Will you two SHUT UP! Your lives suck, we get it! It's not a contest to see who's lamer! Now please... I'm trying to concentrate.

"Thank you." Smash said, sounding aggravated. "Don't you guys have anything better to do? I mean, really?"

Tendril: not until the fight starts.

"So until then, just keep your bickering to yourself." He said. "That goes for all of you. I'm tired of hearing all that crap, it's an endless contest to top eachother! 'I'm gonna win the tournament!' 'You won't get past me.' 'I've beat an army!' 'I've beat a navy!' 'I'm an outcast!' 'I'm wanted in 15 countries!' 'I'm the only one that likes me!' Just stop. No one wants to hear all of that." He then looked at Aero. "And if I catch you stealing anything in here, that will be it. Do I make myself clear?"

Tendril: *shrugs*

Eclipse: *grabs Tendril by the neck* I'm not one for rules, and I don't feel like waiting for four other fighters to kick your ass. Do I make myself clear?

(Nora just goes back to sleep, but heard everything)

Tendril: *becomes liquid shadow and falls to the floor. reforms and walks back to his seat* you've both made yourselves crystal clear. im done arguing with you guys.

Voice: Would Nora and Darkness please report to the ring. Nora and Darkness to the ring.

Darkness: alright. il head out. *comes out of his portable coffin* time to get started! *heads out to the ring*

Smash looked up. "Well it's about TIME!" He said in a snarky tone. "The first match is finally getting underway."

"Has it really been that long?" Kyle asked.

"You were only here a  third  of the time we were waiting." Smash said in a chuckle. "Anyway, They must have their tournament board written out now. Lets go take a look, shall we?"

Kyle nodded. "Yes, lets." The two of them walked to check out the tournament board. i.e, seeing who was facing who.

Round One
Voice: Welcome one and all, heroes and villains from across the universe, to the Cosmic Championship! I've brought you all here to test your skills in the art of fighting, and hopefully to pass on the title of Cosmic Champion. Unfortunately there have been some... technical difficulties, so not every fighter has arrived. Take this time to get to know your opponents and prepare... for what is to come.

Voice: Would Nora and Darkness please report to the ring. Nora and Darkness to the ring.

Darkness: yeah im going.*grabs shimato and himako (twin katana's of opposite powers) and heads out*

(Nora gets up while not saying a word and slung her guitar on her back as she heads out)

Darkness: *sitting on the ground all casual as Nora heads out* hmmm the first match and i get picked to fight Nora. im glad to fight someone like her because i never got to fight her before nor have i seen her in actual combat.

Nora: Okay, lets get started...

(Nora sounded rather casual)

Darkness: *pulls out his swords and tosses them to Tikala* i fight fairly. *takes his king's cape off (Vampire Kings and queens are recognized by there power and cape) and just throws it aside which floast just outside the arena showing a scared body on his right arm and a metal left arm but his body is covered by a black shirt* ready Nora?

(Nora takes out her guitar with one hand)

Nora: Yep, is there a ref. or someone that counts down to start or somethin'?

Darkness: i dunno. *takes a coin out of his pocket* wanna flip a coin and hen it hits the ground we start?

Voice: There will be no need for a coin toss. You may begin whenever you please. Also, a very bold move on your part Darkness. Fighting unarmed is quite honourable in some cultures. Anyways... Begin!

Darkness: i have no intrest in attacking first.

Nora: Okay, since I have no patience for back-and-forth talk... I'll just start first!

(Nora puts her hand in a two-fingered gun pose and shot many lazers at Darkness)

Darkness: *dodges some but not all because his natural powers allow him to control blood*
