(August 18th, around 11 A.M. A pro-[b]Liomage[/b] rally is taking place on the cusp of [b]Sakrisen[/b]'s most popular intersecting city hub, like a Times Square, known as [b]Saitranovian[/b] Arc Junction. From on top of a building, [b]Clockshot[/b] looks down at the activists.) [b]Clockshot:[/b] *to himself* The pro-[b]Liomagers[/b] and Euchrons are pushing back, it seems. *Out of nowhere, [b]CYOKONA[/b]'s personal army emerges through a pink portal, pointing energy rifles and shotguns at the activists, in a way to tell them to end the rally. The activists become reluctant, even going as far as advancing closer to the personal army, but some of [b]CYOKONA[/b]'s personal soldiers fire in the direction of the activists, causing them to step back while still maintaining resiliency.* [b]Clockshot:[/b] Oh, they intended to miss. If whoever this army is wanted to massacre the activists, there would've been a bloodbath seconds ago. *A screen cuts to a broadcast of the commencement of Roman's and [b]Molgorath[/b]'s historical battle at the [b]Vaisilithion[/b] Coliseum, catching Clock's attention.* [b]Clockshot:[/b] Hopefully, I wasn't away for too long. Haven't heard the name "Roman [b]Deiphamos[/b] in years. ___________ (Seconds later, at the group mansion, with the twins, [b]annihilator[/b] twins, Cat, Kav, Van, Kyo, [b]Sakiro, Kaburo[/b], Anna, Alexa, and the newly-invited [b]Shiraita[/b].) [b]Cathera:[/b] *holding the door open for [b]Shiraita[/b], whose the last to arrive* We're glad to have you come along, [b]Shiraita[/b]. *to the group* I'm sure you remember [b]Shiraita[/b] from the SFT/VCO collaboration event. So, why not I'd invite her in? Get to know each other a little more. [b]Vandren:[/b] *suspiciously* Yeah, I remember her, a little too much to where I almost called her by a different name. [b]Kyokia:[/b] Thought I was looking at a ghost or something. [b]Shiraita:[/b] *breathy, repressed chuckle* I'm all too aware. I went to the same academy. *Some of the group reacts with low gasps upon hearing a tidbit of [b]Shiraita[/b]'s history, strengthening a coincidental connection between her and the late [b]Himeki[/b].* [b]Anna:[/b] That's insane. You don't have to tell us, at least for now. We don't want you bringing up any past traumas. [b]Shiraita:[/b] *looking down at Sai, saying hesitantly* And...I finally get to meet you, Saitonia. Heard some very notable things about you. [b]Saitonia:[/b] Honored to meet you, [b]Shiraita[/b]. Not letting eerie resemblances define who you are, it seems. [b]Kavita:[/b] *turning to a Channel Starseek broadcast of a VCO broadcast displaying the commencement of Roman vs. [b]Molgorath[/b]* It's King "We're [b]Vaisallon[/b]!" vs. a former [b]Vaisallon[/b] king. *raspy breather* About to begin. [b]Kyokia:[/b] Oh yeah, it's like 6 or 7 P.M. over there (in [b]Vaisallon[/b] Regions). [b]Saitonia:[/b] What tricks will Roman be pulling in his mainland? I know he'll do something that'll dishonor it. ___________ (The live VCO broadcast, inside the [b]Vaisilithion[/b] Coliseum. It's absolutely enormous, at 850 ft long and 760 ft wide, it's easily noticeable when flying over [b]Vaisilithius[/b]. Up to a million spectators came to watch this legendary battle.) [b]Aredeses:[/b] *in Greek* (Evening...) *in English* "motherlanders". (After an amazing lineup of battles, we finally bring to you a prestigious one that will be boasted on in the history books for all eternity!) *The native [b]Vaisallian[/b] crowd cheers intensely.* [b]Aredeses:[/b] (This is a battle that determines who claims the throne tomorrow. Could we see the throne be retained or shifted to the other? Why now I quit rambling and bring our contestants down?) *Behind one of the entrances, Roman stands in the middle, with his loyalists all around him.* [b]Roman:[/b] So Grandmaster, what exactly did you and Queen [b]Thesinia[/b] conspire to? [b]Grandmaster Riuno:[/b] *sly chuckle* In that contract, your signature failed to register, meaning [b]Molgorath[/b] won't have anyone at his aid. You won't need outside assistance anyway neither, let's just ensure [b]Molgorath[/b] doesn't try to call for any. [b]Aeriyos:[/b] *adding to the conversion* That implies he even has any allies left. [b]Aredeses:[/b] (I bring you the challenger, the former [b]Vaisallian[/b] Gladiatorial King; [b]Erodos Molgorath[/b]!) *The massive entrance door slides upward, revealing [b]Molgorath[/b], all alone. He walks slowly, yet confidently to the battle zone. Technicians don't rely on mechanical systems for fireworks, just their natural energy manipulation to fire a sequence of explosive, red energy beams, which conclude right as [b]Molgorath[/b] steps right inside the battle zone.* ________ (Same time, back at the group mansion. Sai is hyper fixated on the TV, just waiting for [b]Aredeses[/b] to introduce Roman.) [b]Ainotias:[/b] You're a little tense, brother. You do get pretty vengeful. [b]Sage:[/b] Sai, please don't blast the TV when you see Roman. These display 16K resolution, which costs like 100,000 [b]zepiks[/b]. _________ (Back at the [b]Vaisilithion[/b] Coliseum, the crowd goes silent, and the atmosphere gets heavy.) [b]Aredeses:[/b] *in Greek, with pure precision* (And now. 26-time Spartiate Crown winner, the most indomitable force amongst leaders of [b]Terranoviatia[/b]; an untitled [b]Arckyvus[/b] Divine, most surely on a higher level than any divine. If [b]Terranova[/b] or [b]Dyavolo[/b] ever stepped up this [b]Vaisallian[/b] godliness, they rather sink to levels below and go fight some mere peasant from [b]Saitranovia[/b]. His presence alone rewrites realities upon realities. If there was an incarnation made solely for this deity, the [b]Arckyve[/b] would give up its entire power, making HIM the new [b]Arckyve[/b].) _______ (Same time, back at the group mansion, Kav is clearly getting annoyed at [b]Aredeses[/b]' over-praising, which is still continuing.) [b]Kavita:[/b] Oh my [b]Arckyve[/b], shut the *intense voice cracking* f[b]uUUuuu[/b]ck up, b[b]iiiiIIIIiii[/b]tch...*heavy, raspy exhale* and introduce him already. [b]Alexa:[/b] Sai, was she throwing shots at you when she mentioned "mere peasant from [b]Saitranovia[/b]"? [b]Saitonia:[/b] You can guarantee. She's lucky I didn't punch through this damn screen. Ugh, I can hop in the time pod, teleport over there, and claw her throat out, but I'll be patient. _______ (Back at the [b]Vaisilithion[/b] Coliseum) [b]Aredeses:[/b] ROMAAAAAAAAAAAAN....[b]DEIPHAMOOOOOOOOOOOS[/b]! *The crowd bursts into loud cheers in support of the current Gladiatorial King. Roman's entrance opens up, and he emerges, walking down the walkway as his loyalists and armored dogs surround him. Technicians use their energy abilities to fire creative blue beams and explosive blasts throughout the sky, where neighboring mainlands can also see, and it's a clear bias that Roman is more favored, seeing that more effort is put into the energy fireworks, which conclude as Roman steps into the battle zone. [b]Molgorath[/b], arms crossed, signals Roman's loyalists to go away, and while they do step back, they don't leave the zone entirely.* [b]Roman:[/b] No! No! *in Greek* (You don't give them orders. They don't listen to you, they listen to me!) *to his loyalists* (Okay. I got this, you all. Head back to the seats.) _________ (From the throne room in the [b]Vaisilithius[/b] Dominion, Gladiatorial Queen [b]Thesinia[/b] sitting elegantly on her throne, watches the broadcast.) [b]Thesinia:[/b] *in Greek, to herself* (My king doesn't even need assistance in his battles. He never really did. Them [b]Saitranovians[/b] were just such jokes. [b]Molgorath[/b] will see TRUE [b]Vaisallian[/b] spirit.) _________ (Back at the group mansion:) [b]Saitonia:[/b] [b]Molgorath[/b], you better not fail. Give him some hell while I'm away. [b]Shiraita:[/b] *hearing what Sai said, replying lowly to Cat* Oh, so is he the type to enact unyielding revenge. [b]Cathera:[/b] *replying back to [b]Shiraita[/b]* Mhm. It's amazing how it kept him alive for so long. _________ (At the [b]Vaisilithion[/b] Coliseum) [b]Aredeses:[/b] *in Greek* (Let....this...match.....BEGIIIIIIIINNNNN) _______ [b][i]*Continuing Below*[/i][/b]
