Without further delay, I declare Match One of Round One in the official Acmlm's Board Sim-Battle Tournament underway.]

Several minutes had passed since the initial declaration of the tournament's commencement, and participants had departed for their assigned quarters prior to the opening battles. One of the arena's two primary, domed theaters was overflowing with spectators, but rather hushed nonetheless. Spotlights illuminated parts of the main stage, a flat and expansive floor covered thinly with fine soil. The dirt's thickness did little to hinder motion, and the modest padding it offered was a boon to the arena's combatants.

Suddenly, the spotlights jumped from their rest and lit up the massive archway the led beneath the arena, into the locker and dressing rooms below. The figure that appeared caused some spectators to squint, the glare of the lights being reflected at uncomfortable angles off his immaculate, pristinely polished mail-and-plate armor.

Callean Silvershield, Accomplished Member of the Order of the Motley Unicorn, strode confidently down the walkway and continued to a yellow-designated region of the arena floor. He wore a long mail hauberk, covering the length of both arms and extending to mid-thigh. Steel plate covered his lower body and the outer, exposed sides of his arms. Bearing his colors was a long embroidered surcoat, and it stretched to his calves and flowed gracefully as he moved. Upon his back was a sizable silver-and-white shield, and a dagger and longsword were upon his belt.

Strapped to his leather sash were several potion vials. Upon the knight's back, covered partially by the shield, was a flowing and unobtrusive cape. He brushed it aside as he raised his helmet to his head and set it over his mail coif.

The paladin reached beneath his surcoat and set his silver symbol upon his chest. He touched it and then the embroidered unicorn head, aligned to the left on his breast. Finally, completing the spectacle, he placed his hand upon the hilt of his sword. Attention was drawn to the long yellow handkerchief, lashed firmly to the weapon's hilt and waving lightly in the breeze of cooling fans circling distant overhead.

Rad calmly walked down along the walkway, his white robes making no sounds whatsoever. He continued into the arena and to the region of the arena which was to be the Keyper's starting position. His supple leather shoes left few tracks to make his passing.

As he entered his final starting position and stopped, it could be see that the only weapon he visibly carried was a modest dagger on his upper left arm, strapped to the outside of his robes.

Rad then began to strech, as he waited for his allies and oppoents to enter the arena.

"S, J, T, In position...It's Showtime, boys..."

The lights in the arena suddenly dim, and they are reduced to a dark purple hue...

A moment later, foreboding organ music is played, creating an eerie atmosphere...

Smoke begins to emerge from a single point in the arena, right beside Silvershield. Several moments later, a figure begins to emerge from it, clad in a black fedora, and a long black trenchcoat. Once the fighter was revealed, the smoke receded, and the music began to fade as the lighting returned to normal.


"Ahh. I love a good entrance..."

Jarukoth removed his fedora, no longer hiding his Sharingan eyes as they moved about the arena.

"So, the Keyblade team, then?"

His hands then drop to his sides, as his clothes begin to change. They seem to melt into each other, taking the form of a suit that looks closer armor, but does not restrict movement significantly, and still leaves the head exposed for maximum sight. He then draws his EternaBlade sword, and plants it in the dirt, waiting for the other combatants...

"Hmm...they could be a problem, Silvershield..."

Troy calmly walked down the platform, waving to the side of the audience nearest him as he tossed a silver chain up and down in his other hand. He nodded to Rad as he neared his starting position. Glancing back at the other line he tossed up the chain once more before snapping it back. "Present and accounted for."

[OOC: Sorry about that ]

A giant gold figure flies across. It lands next to the arena.

Jin Dogan: Fudge! I'm late!

That person jumps out the cockpit of his large robot friend and runs towards the arena.

*clap clap clap*

Just as he's about to step onto the platform, he trips over his own feet.

Jin Dogan: Crap! Anyone see that?

Audience: HAHAHA!!!

Suddenly, there is a large flash of white light, as Dogan walks onto the platform.

Audience: Ahhh!
Dogan: That'll teach 'em to mess with me...

Jin trips again.

Audience: AHAHAH!!!

Dogan:....Bums...

[Out of character - Alright, we won't wait any longer. Let's start this now.]

The dramatically dimmed lights of the arena returned suddenly to normal amplitude, an understood signal for the battle to begin. Callean was quite prepared, and he moved first: sword and shield quickly brought to hand, the paladin nodded to his teammates and charged ferociously at Rad.

The two fighters had met in the past, and Callean was certainly aware of the white-robed fighter's skill and cunning. He was hardly fooled by the single visible dagger available to his target, and adjusted accordingly; moving confidently but controlled, the paladin slashed in from the right but kept his shield outstretched.

Without warning, a pair of giant keys appeared in Rad's hands, which which he blocked Callean's attack. He then rolled backwards, allowing Callean's sword to hit the ground, and swung at the paladin's head.

"So...I suppose that just leaves us, Troy...Hidden Mist!"

The foglike mist returns thicker than ever, filling the arena. It becomes exceedingly difficult to see through the dense fog, seemingly making it easier for a sneak attack.

After a few moments, Jarukoth seems to disappear from view...

Troy's hand snapped out again. Instead of the keychain he now had his hand wrapped in the handcage of another long key, nearly his own height. It pulsed a bright blue for a moment before Troy cut a swath through the fog, thinning it out as his quickly-summoned, weak cold enchantment condensed the air around him. In the event anyone did manage to get in his immediate vincinity they would be more uncomfortably wet than comfortably concealed.

Dogan looks through the mist with his light powers, cutting through the mist, revealing his enemies' locations.

Dogan: I feel a little rotten doing this.....

Jin unsheathes his sword, and waits for any activity.

Taffy rushed down the entrance into the arena itself, both her Keyblades already drawn.

"Sorry I'm late, fellas!" she shouted. "The bus made a wrong turn at Albequr...waitaminnit..." She slowed her pace as she entered the fog-filled arena, not entirely able to see what was going on, though she did hear metal clanking off to her side.

"Geez, what is this? Guerillas in the Mist?" Taffy muttered. She cast a small fire spell and kept it on the tips of her Keyblades, using them as torches as she continued to move around the arena, keeping an extra watch and listening carefully for any movement.

Callean's shield instantly shot to Rad's oncoming Keyblade, but the force incurred by the block sent the paladin to the ground. He rolled to the side and was able to stand safely, but he saw himself in no position to attack again. Callean could do little but assume a conservative, defensive stance and hope not to be ambushed in the thick mist.

Rad, having lost Callean within the mist, closed his eyes. He could hear Taffy shout, and started towards her voice, slowly turning around to keep an eye around himself.

Either the combatants were too busy fighting, or too far away to notice, but the air around Jarukoth had grown quite cold. He was using the mist to generate kunai knives made of ice, ready to abush the first person he saw through the mist. He had prepared six Kori Kunai by the time he noticed someone yelling something about the bus taking a wrong turn somewhere...

"...The hell? Taffy actually showed up? I'll take her out first..."

The light generated from her keyblades made her an obscenely obvious target through the mist. Jarukoth threw a few ice knives at Taffy, hoping his commentary hand't alerted her to his position...

As soon as Jarukoth threw the kunai, the mist slowly began to recede...

The mist suddenly opened up behind Jarukoth as Troy strode through, holding his keyblade across his shoulders. Its enchantment began to fade as he brought it back down, replaced by a hazy red aura as he lunged at his target. "Ooga booga."

Jin spots Rad shouting for Taffy in the mist.

Dogan(whispering): Now to make my move...

Jin lunges forward and swings his large tiger sword at Rad's keyblade. Dogan puts a lot of his strength into his sword, pushing the keyblade towards Rad.

OOC: Hope this makes sense, I just got back from a long drive. >< Poke me if it needs clarification.

Jarukoth's knives sliced through the air and Taffy's right sleeve, leaving some nasty, deep cuts on her upper arm. But before she could cuss a blue streak, she spied Jin's sword swing. Thinking it was aimed for her, she intercepted it by crossing both Keyblades at the point of impact, nearly losing her footing with the force needed - stopping the blade just inches from her.

"Not a bad start," Taffy grinned.

She then hopped back a bit, then simultaneously whipped her Keyblades downward and released the fire spell she'd been holding at the tips, crying "Superpepper!" as she did so, sending two waves of fire at her closest opponent.

It just so happened that Callean, stumbling through the fog, was the nearest opponent. His shield, naturally protecting his body even as he walked, turned one of the fiery waves aside; it was the second that caught him squarely on the right bicep. The knight dropped his sword, and immediately bent to retrieve it. The fast pace of the battle left the occupied paladin without a chance to take offensive action.

Hearing the ring of a sword hitting the ground, Rad quickly thought, Must be an opponent. Troy and Taffy wouldn't drop their weapons.

Rad quietly pulled out the dagger out of his robes and whipped it towards the sound, testing to see if anyone was there.

He still had ice knives left, so Jarukoth instinctively threw the remaining three kunai at Troy as he lept at him, hoping they would be enough to slow him down...

Unfortunately, Troy was still in midair, and the two collide. Jarukoth quickly rushes to get up before Troy can make his next move.
