OOC: Come on, Seph. You wanna fight? Let's go.

Janus: "I need this, man! Let me take him on! Let all of us take him on!"

The place? User Grey's office, just down the hall from the door leading to Sim Battle Arena A in one direction, and right outside the Acmlm's Board cafeteria. It WAS a converted Janitor's closet, after all. After the attack of the NNPC bots during the Tournament, there was a little bit of peace for all of the fighters, save for one...

A few fighters had been getting into existential quarrels with the one called "Seph". UGrey had tried to keep things under control, but it didn't seem to be helping. Finally, he decided to settle things the only way he knew how...


UGrey: "You want him? Fine, just remember to keep things civil. I don't want my own characters to be getting into fights about rules and regulations, it sets a bad example and damages my own reputation as the enforcer of the rules around here."

The whole roster was here: Detective Grey, Red, Green, Blue, and even Kalar and Dark Grey had joined Janus in User Grey's office to discuss the problem. There needed to be a confrontation, and that was how it was to go.

"Take the keys to Sim Battle Arena A. Remember to follow the rules."

He then looked back and forth between Dark Grey, Kalar, and Janus.

"You three aren't restricted by any kind of story in this fight, so you can unleash your power as you wish. Use what skills you have, but try not to hurt anyone accidentally. I'm expecting a lot of spectators for this fight. People need to see this going on."

He leaned back in his chair, as the two unknown battlers spoke up.

Kalar: "What power are you talking about, here? I'm not aware..."

Dark Grey: "I know what he's saying, man. If it comes to you having to fight, then you'll get it eventually."

UGrey: "Just go. I'll be watching the fight. It's sanctioned under the standard SB arena rules. If any of you gets in trouble, I'll save you from serious harm."

All: "Understood."

A few moments later, Janus burst through the doors of SB Arena A to the roaring cheers of a pumped audience, followed by Team User Grey. This was it, the fight was on!

William ran into the arena stands. He really wanted to watch this fight, so he went into the middle of the stands, front row center. He could see the fight in all its glory from where he was sitting. He reached into his sack and pulled out a Dr. Pepper and some popcorn.

William: "Alright! A whole bunch of fighters! ON A TEAM! This is going to be good."

William pulled out a air horn and pressed it down. The horn made a loud honking noise. He was excited and hyper. The battle was getting under way!

OOC: You said that spectators will be here in bold print, so I figured I would be one of them... hope this isn't a problem...

"I understand why...."

The Drow Elite Wizard steps out from a few shadows...ring level.

"It's because there are people who are *too powerful* to fight here. I, personally, am fast-approaching that mark, if not already having past it. My only doubts come from the thought of facing somebody like Hirryuu...who has no magickal prowess and excellent physical attacks...canceling my strongest defenses and focusing against my weakest..."

The dark elf shudders.

"...and then there's the upper Kirbies...KirbyNite in particular, that I fear...80% of attack spells are delivered on a ray...I've seen a Kirby-type gobble up a spell's ray, swallow it, and then start pitching it back over and over...I couldn't take repeated shots of Flare from him, let alone anything more potent.

"The point remains...I'm probably too strong to be fighting here...it's not exactly fair for the bulk of the pool of combtants. Yet the imbalance I create doesn't hold a candle..."

He backflips upward...landing in the first row of seats."

"...to that of certain others."

The dark elf takes a seat, and signals for a box of crackerjacks.

OOC: Am I incorrect?

Meanwhile, in UGrey's office, a wavering figure appears. In 3 seconds, it's Schwa. He stares at UGrey.

"Dude! You could start a riot! Aren't you supposed to keep these things down? You know how Seph gets like in battle, how his style makes other's PO'd... My job is to keep Evil under control, and you just found the way to unleash it! What gives!!?"

Schwa breathes hard. He's one mad puppy.

OOC: Seph, you're goin' DOWN! Nobody messes with Grey! You pick personal fights with Grey and you're messing with Aspie Hunter Schweitzer. Understood?

Boy, it felt great to get that out.

Jarukoth, Ada, and Shino, now recovered from their tournament match with Grey, take a refreshing walk around the Arenas. As they pass by Arena A, they quite a bit of commotion coming from it. They peek in carefully...

Ada: "The sucessor is picking a fight...with Seph?"

Shino: "Huh...might be good to kill time, I guess."

Jarukoth just smirks, and makes sure he is the first to enter. Shino and Ada follow close behind...

As they take thier seats, they notice Jarukoth has been grasping his sword the enitre time.


Ada: "...something on your mind?"

Jarukoth: "It's Seph...I hope he loses this. I don't like his style at all."

Ada: "What do you mean? With the BioArmor, we could go even with him no problem..."

Jarukoth: "Nah, not like that. If there's one quality I can't stand, it's arrogance, and Seph is cocky as hell. Hopefully, this fight just may take his ego down a notch..."

OOC: Ditto.

OoC Hmm...

Star: "This should be interesting, but... is this really the right way? Have I missed something?"

Star was in the arena stands looking around, a few others had already made it, and he was wondering what could really be going on. Sure the fight between Odin and Seph was messy and was never resolved, but how could a simple argument escalate this much?

Origin: "Worrying about the same thing?"

Star: "That this is a horrible idea and so far no one has it right in this thread?"

whisper from seemingly no where: "HEY! You aren't supposed to know that, let alone tell everyone that."

Star: "Oh right, sorry."

Origin: "Insulted at some of the comments from the dark elf?"

Star: "No one is to powerful, power is unlimited in this universe, we both know that with~"

whisper: "Stop that!"

Star: "Well, you see what I'm getting at."

"Just a sec, UGrey..."

Schwa sends a telepathic message to Origin and Star. "This ain't just about you, it's about me too. Yeah, Seph and I may have resolved our little conflict, but THEN he had to go at it with my friend UGrey... I don't mind others picking fights with me, but I say to my enemies: Leave my friends outta this!"

"Okay, UGrey... You were saying?"

Kyle floated down to the stands from wherever he was before and picked a seat close to everyone else, but still at a distance from them. The only person he recognized was William, who was seated a few rows in front of him. He also recognized UGrey down in the arena, having spoken to him for a brief moment while defending the arena from the NPCs.

Kyle: So, I get to see them in action, huh? I better pay close attention, I could learn a lot from this. Supposing, of course, that this Seph character actually shows...he doesn't seem to be well accepted around here. Must've been some bad stuff he done.

He kicked up his feet and rested them on the row of seats in front of him, and passed the time be floating a nickel over his palm.

"Scuse me, is this seat taken?"

A girl, 18 years in appearance, in a medium-length gold dress with a magenta stripe down either end, stands close to Kyle.

"Guess not. I'll sit here then." The girl places herself in the seat next to Kyle. In her left hand she holds a softball-sized, cream-colored ball of gel, which seems to be glowing dimly. The girl stares at the arena.

"I'm Yiusi," she casually says to Kyle, still staring at the arena. "Who are we waiting to show up? ...Or do you know?"

William: "Well, if it isn't Kyle. Well, come to watch the fight too?"

William gobbled up the rest of his popcorn, a few kernels though...

He then pulled out of his sack a jawbreaker and was about to put it in his mouth. He stopped and pulled it away for a second.


William: "Now, I am not too sure what is going on with Seph or anything... but here is what I have to say

"There is no such thing as absolute power, as the old saying goes 'Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutley'. This means, to me, is that no matter what opponent you face and what move they use, there is always a way to counter. No matter who you are. We all have weaknesses. If you say you don't, your weakness is arogance. So... you probably don't care anyway..."

He shoved the jawbreaker in his mouth, awaiting for the battle to go under way.

Kyle looked at Yiusi for a second, then back at the arena.

Kyle: Hey Yiusi, I'm Kyle. We're waiting for someone named Seph2k4, and from what I know he wasn't too big at following rules. He must have done something really wrong to get UGrey upset like this. I think.

Kyle looked around the arena in a bored way.

Kyle: I haven't seen you around here before. Do you fight? Or are you more of a spectator?

Here's where William made his appearance.

Kyle: Hey, William. I didn't expect to be meeting you so soon. How's the hero biz treating you? Oh, by the way, you should meet Yiusi here.

Kyle introduced the two.

Kyle: About that saying of yours, Will. If power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, then theoretically having no power would not corrupt at all. If this is so, then would having no power in a battle be the biggest advantage of all, since you could not be corrupted? A bit of a paradox there, I think.

"Power is subjective," Yiusi says. "If I believe I am strong, I am."

Pause.

"Yes, I fight. I fight using the bond with my weapon, the Yiusi Ball." She holds up the orb of gel. "It's pure Oracle energy. Every time I hit the foe, I gather more data about the foe, and after enough hits the Ball adapts it's energy structure to automatically hit the foe where it's weakness lies. If I were fighting a giant octopus, it would become electricity. Or if I were fighting a one-eyed demon, the Ball would zero in on it's one eye. Oracle energy is pretty interesting, but you know how we Oracles are." Yiusi leans back in her chair.

Suddenly, a rather dark, murky voice could be heard in the backround, with no inhibitor to voice it.... yet.

Elite Seph's voice: "Well, well, well... if it isn't Janus, the Master with power... too much power, as a matter of fact. It's plain to see that amany seem to have a problem with authority... a problem with none other than me, over that last battle... and UGrey as much closes it and gets on me when *I* was the one trying to be reasonable... how unfair, but if there's one thing fair about all this controversy, it's a shot at redemption!"

Seph paused for a moment, expecting to get an instantaneous reaction from the crowd

Elite Seph: *telepathy* "It's obvious that UGrey wants to put an end to my streak, and if he REALLY thinks he can do it, then here's his chance!"

Finally, an instant transmition... looks like Seph finally decided to reveal himself, robotic form and all, while one could literally sense the atrosity gleeming throughout his metallic yellow eyes... looks like he meant business.

Elite Seph: "At last... the time... has come... here I am, fully-loaded and ready! As a rule, I always let my opponent get the first shot at me, so if you please... (mumbles), oh, and don't even think about hitting the close button on this one... to close is to forfeit the match."

Elite Seph: *thinks* "I don't care if I get "booed" all the way to Hell for this. In the old days, I could show off my skills without anyone getting all up in my face, and without any complaints about how "cheap" I am. Now apparently, I'm 'above everyone's league', so they think I'm some lousy stinkin' cheater! Well, to that, I say I've been screwed over once, infact, twice, but not again! I'm not holding anything back this time... and if any one of them has anything more to say about me or my style, they can tell it to my face... it a 1-on-1, sanctioned match, just the way UGrey likes it!"

The dark elf in the front row stands up...points near the feet of Elite Seph...and a thin carmine ray bolts from the fingertip to the ground, burning a line in the sand in front of Elite Seph.

"Careful, son...place any shots poorly...if anything comes up into the stands, be it from off-target strikes or deflections...we will retaliate...and if that is your true form...a robot...you wouldn't last against me...robots have a critical weakness. You'd be gone in three rounds...no more, no less."

Steak defiantly crunches on a crackerjack, very loudly.

Kyle: Y-yes, right, them oracles. Mm-hm.

Kyle leaned back in his chair as well.

Kyle: Hey, look, here he comes!

Kyle jumped forward and pointed to Elite Seph, who had just walked into sight.

Kyle: Now this will be action!

He sat back down and reached to his left, grabbing for a bag of popcorn. It took him a moment to realize that he hadn't bought one yet.

Kyle: Guh-what? Oh for crying out - save my seat, will you Yiusi?

He dashed off to purchase a snack as fast as he could so he could get back to the fight in time.

The trademark explosion rocked the ground around him, and User Grey appeared in front of Seph. He's dressed in some rather odd attire today: A turtleneck composed of cloth strips buckled around his limbs, a pair of dark green hiking boots, and black punk-rock pants. Unusual for him, but he spoke as though nothing were wrong...

UGrey: "Seph, you're wrong. I make the rules here. This thread won't be closed until it's over..."

He steps aside, allowing Janus and his crew forward.

"But this isn't my battle. I didn't want it. Janus did."

The entire User Grey crew came alongside the white-haired warrior to confront Seph...

Janus: "That's right. However, this isn't just my fight. It's all of ours. Everyone in this stadium came here to see the conflict between us resolved once and for all..."

Janus looked at User Grey. User Grey looked at Janus with a stare of disapproval. Kalar, Dark Grey, the Detective, and the Agents all stepped backward as User Grey stood to the side of Seph and Janus. He snapped his fingers, and disappeared.

UGrey: "Keep it civil. Remember that. No personal attacks, no cheap shots, and keep the rules in mind. This will not turn ugly, or else I will step in..."

Janus: "Perfect."

A loud klaxon sounded, signaling the start of the battle! Janus jumped backward and into the air, flipping a few times as Satchel turned from duffel bag to deadly hammer, and slammed downward on Seph's location with a ground-splitting earthquake blow!

"Let's see what you can REALLY do!"

A wavering figure appears in Kyle's spot while he's gone. It's Schwa.

"GOOOOO JANUS!!!"

Yiusi stares annoyed at Schwa. "Um, that's not your--"

"Sorry, can't here ya. JANUS, KICK HIS TUSH!"

Yiusi sighs. No way he'll listen now. She hopes Kyle won't be too mad... Meanwhile, Schwa sends a telepathic message to Steak.

"Hey Steak, you seem pretty confident about your abilities. I can tell you are very old, wise and experienced in life and battle. If you have telepathy, would you share your 3-turn strategy against Seph with me? I'm on your left, in the white robe-clothes and the blindfold."

Schwa also makes a mental note to spar with Steak later on.


OOC: Yes, Steak... That is a challenge! However, right now I have four threads going here, so after one or two of those die down, I'd love to go at it with you. I've always admired your character's wisdom.

Schwa's telepathic message never reaches Origin or Star. Something was keep Schwa out of their minds.

Star: "Well its starting."

Origin: "Yes, but do you think we should try and contain the power so no one in the stands gets hit?"

Star: "No. No one here is stupid enough to get fried in one shot. No matter how strong Elite Seph thinks he is, all he is doing is drastically over estimating his enemy. That is why he complains when things get hard, if he can't be the most powerful, then the other person should die immediatly and he be declared the victor."

Origin: "Not going to go well for Janus then if this guy boasts about his strength so much?"

Star: "You already know that Janus isn't the most powerful in brute strength, yet he can go toe-to-toe with anything Dracoon throws at him."

Origin looked back towards the arena, finding Elite Seph's aura. Sadly, it wasn't working, Elite Seph didn't use the same kind of power as most of the other fighters did, judging him would only be possible after witnessing the fight.

Kyle sprinted down the hall as fast as he could, in desperate search for a concession stand. If he hurried, he still might be able to catch the first moves of the battle. He made a right turn, and found a shop open...but something else caught his attention first.

Kyle: What? Did I just see - ?

He looked backward for a moment. He could have sworn that he just saw someone behind him. Someone with a bluish tinge to them
