Torvek: *walks along the 8th floor, the shadow-like creatures streaming from his coat to etch neigh invisible runes into the floor. The creatures number in the thousands and get the job done in mere minutes before retreating back to Torveks oversized coat.* alright, the dimensional bubble should keep all stray attacks in check and serve as a barrier to the contestants. Now for the floor he kneels and deftly preforms involving a candle, a basin, and his own blood. His low chant is a pervasive whisper, heard by all on the floor despite what other noise might drown it out. After a while, the floor vibrates and grows still. Torvek stoically picks up his tools tucking them back into his coat.* the floor in here should be able to regenerate itself now and feed on your ambient magic problem. Its technically alive, but dont expect to hold any conversations with it. *Torvek crosses the room and raises the floor into a high chair for him to sit on.* Shadowblade, the arenas barrier will respond to your commands; it should be opened for fighters to enter and closed when they fight. Ill only step in when things get too out of hand. I predict that should be about fifteen minutes by your standards.

SB: well its good to see that your taking such high precautions. 15 minutes for a for a fight to get out of hand? please. These finalists might be powerful but they know restraint.(well most of them) Still, I thank you for setting this all up. Could I get you anything in the meanwhile?

pico:(so many strong opponents…)sigh

Mia: don't worry pico. you can do it just go out there and give it your all.
Jasmine: Best of luck master.
Mia: come on let's head down.

Torvek: *looks flatlyat SB* I should be fine. Thanks. *notices Zack staring at him. And sighs* Tell your mutt that he can have a grudge match with me after he washesout of the tourney. He looks like thesort that respects strength and itll mean at least one mook off the revenge-against-melist.

SB: will do. And with that I'm going back behind this wall to begin the draw once they all arrive. Some of them seem to be running late.
*an hour later*
MB:sir, they're here.
SB:*watches as pico runs in*(and that's everyone.)Wonderful let's go and start the drawing for the fight setup.*heads to the back* alright let me just give you the rules real quick for these final 8. You guys do have acess to your weaponry, and more advanced spells. you win if your oppoent yields or is knocked out. No death or instant knockout spells, no healing items, and No attacking the Ref. even if he did try to kill us. And Zack, he's willing to go a round after the tourny.
Zack: I heard. Mutt he says, I laugh at it. Good humor for a man on a high horse.

pico:im ready when you all are

SB:Alright then let the draw begin!*several minutes later* and the order has been deternined!
Round one: Rupert vs Pico, Ann Vs Valary, MB vs Frank, DN vs Zack

Rupert:…not yet!*pulls himself up* We aren't finished here! *runs in*
Pico:*readies himself*come and get it!
*the 2 start to have their fist collide. each blow hitting the other. their fists move so fast it makes it look like there are multiple arms on them. Eventually their fists colide with their targets. low for blow counter for counter. non stop fighting for hours on end the crowed watching in anticpation*
SB:*watching the match*(geez I knew i had stubborn soldiers who won't go down, but this is just crazy.)

pico:lets end this*charges up a aura sphere* Rupert:i told you you shouldnt just stands their*Rupert charges in about to punch pico..until he teleported* Pico:AURA SPHERE! *Rupert feels the full impact of that move finally passes out*

SB: I belive this is the part where the ref. need do his ten count…
*after said ten count*

Val:what do you mean? I could fight right now.
SB: I know you could but your opponent has a certain limit she can remain her current shape.
Val:I see… alright then. I'll wait. I don't want to win due to a copout.
SB: good to know.

pico:..tired but happy*grins widely*

Dr. Light:*smiles* well of course. you just fought.*notices his arm* you also have a new arm I see How did you manage that?

pico:*points at jasmine* you can thank my favourite nanobot for that*smiles at jasmine showing his apreciation by hugging her with 1 arm* she just injected a few of her nanonbots into my system now i can do this*makes nanobots appear turning them into his buster*

Dr. Light: hmm impressive…well pico I wish I could stay longer, but its getting late. and I feel rather sleepy I wish you a goodnight.

Jasmine: come master its getting late. we best head back let's get back and restup.

pico:*wakes up and sees that jasmine was already awake and mia was gone*yawn good mourning jas-*pico was cutted off by jasmines lips the kiss lasted 3 minutes before he needed air* what was…*breaths* that for? jasmine:i just wanted to thank you for yesturdays compliment*she then winks at pico and gets up getting breakfast ready* *blinks a few times*biopico:(woo! nice job) demonicpico:(well..that just happened… how does this happened to you and not me?) pico:i hate you both so much right now..

Mia: *walks in* hey there. how are you doing? sleep well?
*down on the 8th floor*
SB: once again the seats are filling. good. now I believe today's match is Val vs. Ann.

pico:yeah demonicpico:(he even had a hot wake up call) pico:(…i hate you so so much)*gets up and grabs mias hand and kisses her cheek you want to help me cheer for Ann&Val?

Mia:well pico of course. but we'll be cheering from the audience seats. Fighters have thier own spot to cheer from and watch the matches at. its easier that way the competerors don't have to take forever getting through the crowds.

pico:*smiles* if you say so dp:(whats the point we all know Ann is gonna win) pico:(we dont know that besides we both know that we havent seenval fight before so do me a favour and shutup) mia:pico you ok? you seem spaced out pico:apparently my evilself is a dirty minded asshole that wont shutup.

Mia:but, wouldn't that mean-
Jasmine: brunch is done.*sets it in front of the 2* enjoy.
*elsewhere*
SB:huh, if this keeps up we'll have a full house. Morphblade is everyone here?
MB: all but 4 comperterors.
SB: who?
MB: well pico, Ann, Val, and Zack.
SB: give them some time.
