(hey, you guys probably figured this out, but I'm resigning from the roleplay, I'll leave it open so that you guys can continue, and shadowblade, you can officially take the reigns for my character, but yeah, I'm done with the roleplay for now.)

pico:*after stuffing his face and impatently waits for mia to finish* come on we are gonna be late*grabs mias and jasmines hand and starts running*

*at the tourny*
SB:(there they are)what kept you? never mind. anyway I gotta go and do a thing
Zack: you do that.
SB:*runs out* ladies and gentlemen welcome backto the first annual Zot Tournament. otday we got 2 matches today that will rock the house. Our second match is a real show stopper. Our next two fighters are interesting ones. She's a mysterious young mobian with great talent and the owner of the soon reopened amusement park on floor 6. Giveit up for Ann!
Ann:(thanks for not using my actual name, boss)*walks out in the trenchcoat as they cheer*
SB: and the other is a long time member here at Zot. The other the misstriss of Ice: Valary!
Val: (must there be a need for a title?)*heads out as the crowd cheers*
SB: Alright fighters ready? Begin!
Ann: *tosses of the coat geting into a stance*

Pico:WOO! go Ann! show the people a great fight girls!

Ann: alright let's get this started.*goes for a punch*
Val: *intercepts it and feels the impact go up her arm. Her face motionless*(oww… note to self she can hit best end this quick)*freezes Ann's fist and begins to freeze her right leg using her one free hand*
Ann:H-hey what the?

pico:(see what did i tell ya?) demonicpico:(yeah yeah…)

Ann:(S-so cold)*musters everything into one punch and sends Val Flying back* haaa…*after a few tries she breaks her leg free*
Val: seems I underestamated you
Ann: well I do try to suprise people. Shall we continue?
Val: gladly.

pico: nice 1 Ann! come on Val you still got this!

*hours pass as the 2 counter each others blows neither one budges all that much eventualy*
Val:* bruised up and starting to feel tired* well Ann, its been fun, but i got to end this.
Ann:*in slightly worse condition* funny I was thinking the same.*runs in and goes for a flying kick*
Val:*smiles*(your very talented and stong for someone with no powers, however there's one advantage I have over you.)*Freezes her with Ice IV* (and that's range)
*the crowd watches in anticipation as the count as the 10 count happens. Ann struggles but is too tired to break free*
SB:…Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! Valary advances to the Semi-Finals! We'll be taking a small break before the next fight.

pico: great job Val*claps his hands* i knew you would do it*looks over at frozen Ann* hi-ya!*he punches the block of ice freeing Ann but not before catching her* are you alright?*gives her his concearned look*Ann:*shivers* so cold

Torvek: (that matchtook long enough. From what Ive seen, Iwould have expected Valary to win much more quickly. Oh for this to be over so I can leave thesemooks. Not that returning to Ink will beany better. Damn this whole mess. At least the grudge match with Zack will be interestingif short.)

Val: thanks pico. Can't wait to see you in the Semifinals.*turns to ann* you did great. A lot of potential. You just need to focus that power a bit more.
Ann:th-thanks…*heads off to go warm up*
*outside where Torvek is*
SB:…*heads up* you look entertained. Can I get you anything while your up here?

Snow: You did it! *he dashes towards Val, picks her up and swings her around* Congrats, love, I'm so proud of you!
Val: *laughs awkwardly* Snow, lemme down! I'm dizzy enough as it is.
Snow: Oh, I'm sorry. *instantly puts her down and kisses her* You did superior. I really admire your performance, that was a whole new level here, far better than what I could ever do!
Val: Now you're exaggarating. But you know what it means, that I have won, right? *she smiles tired*
Snow: *smiles back* Yes. It means female Snow for you.
Val: I'm eagerly awaiting that day.

Torvek: *lookspatiently down from his high chair at SB, not quite sure how he came to such a misguided assumption.* No, I do not need anything. Evenif I wasnt subsisting off the copious amount of ambient energy in here Ispecialize in summoning. *makes a cageof his fingers and speaks but arcane word. Instantly, a surgery treat appears in his hand.* marshmallow. *he pops the treat in his mouth lazily* once again, Im fine; thanks. He adds sardonically before turning his attentionto nothing at all.

Frank: so I take it we're next eh?
MB: Indeed we fight after one of the sponcers speak.
Frank: Oh? and who is speaking?
MB: I believe its Mr. Bernstien.
*elsewhere*
Ann:(can't believe she gave me a chance to fight her. She could have easily beat me within a minute, Yet let me try…I don't know how to feel)*watches Doc enter* hey.
Doc: everything alright?
Ann: sort of…Doc if we were in a serious bout in this tournament despite the diffrences in our abilities, would you toy with me?
Doc:Toy with you? No. I could never do that. I would try to have as much fun with you as possible having us both enjoy the fight.
Ann: do you think that was Val's intention?
Doc: well, of course. I mean you did have fun didn't you?
Ann:…*thinks about it* I did.
Doc: there you go. I'm glad you had fun.*hugs her*
*outside on the floor as everyone returns*
SB:…(Apparently, sarcasm is a forgin language to you, Torvek . and no need to be a jerk. oop time fo the message) and now former King of Fighter host Rugal now will say a few words.
*The lights dim as a spotlight shines on a figure in Red*
Rugal:…*looks around* First I'd like to say this is one hell of a tournament! are you folks having a good time?!
*the crowed cheers*
Rugal: I knew you would be. Anyway I have to say this is a whole lot diffrent than the days I was holding them. back then we had Loony cults, Mob bosses and hitmen from other countries, Dictators and Gods attacking and interupting us; the list goes on. Anyway, I'd like to remind you all about my recent business with airships. If you need something to go somewhere I'll more than hapily ship it anywhere in the world. Now then, with that said Let's get this fight Started! *walks out of the ring*
SB:One's a veteran soldier, gone cyber ninja and one of the 5 I trust give it up for Frank!
Frank:*appears out of stealth camo*
SB:the other is a powerhouse created for battle igve it up for Morphblade!
MB:*simply walks out from behind*
SB: You may begin!

pico:a ninja vs..whatever morph is i gotta say im on the edge of my seat!

*the 2 circle the ring*
MB: *looks him over*I see you've been upgraded. Tell me, how many songs can you hold up to now?
Frank:…cute remark.*draws his HF blade and within a blink of an eye attempts to strike the morph*
MB:*holding the blade with his bare hands inches rom his face*a sword fight? very well,* tosses Frank to the side, and draws his Mani Katti* now then, let's see what's better a blade of mystic properties or a modern modifed edge.
*and with that the 2 cross blades and seemingly vanish. Their movements quick, only few can watch thier movements while only others see the points where they clash*

pico:(oh thats right i forgot) i,ll be back in 5 minutes girls*teleports to his apartment* now to start decorateing those 2 are gonna be so surprised*smiles as he goes to his closet and grabs a box full of christmas decorations* lets see ornaments checked lights checked tree checked misstletoes…somthing tells me they would enjoy that..check all i gotta do is buy the whole staff presents…which i will do after the tournament

*the 2 continue to clash eventually reappearing*
Frank: your skills are excellent.*his arm changes into an Ion canon* too bad what you have in melee doesn't make up for your range*starts firing off blasts as the morph dodges*
MB: again I say to you impressive. However, do not say I don't have range.*a srong wind cuts through one of the shots like a blade* As you can see I am guided by the arts.*puts his blade away as a circle forms in front of him he darts and weave in and out of the fire getting singed a few times from the near perfect accuracy of his opponent. With one motion the circle turns into 3 orbs forming a triangle and his hands glide. moving the top one to the bottom and the 2 on the sides above. Lightining strikes the cyborg and makes him jump and activeate his music player, and second bolt is fired and knocks him out completely* and with that the cont starts
*one ten count later*
SB:and Frank is out Morphblade moves on!
MB:*picks up Frank*I'll take him to the shop to have repaired.*carries him into the back*
SB: and with that folks we are done! tune in tomorrow for the end of round 1! G'night!

pico:*teleports* im back…and the fights over*sweatdrops*

Mia: pico you missed it. it was so intense! it was probally one of the greatest bouts of machine and magic ever seen!
Jasmine:indeed morphblade fried Frank with 2 bolts of lightining after a impressive sword battle.

pico:*vain pops out of his head* you didnt have to rub it in i was busy doing somthing special for you 2

Mia: oh?
Jasmine:what did you do?
Pico: come and see…
*later at his room*
Mia: oh pico this is…Wonderful!
Jasmine: Yes, its rather festive.
*the 2 both kiss him on the cheek*

pico:*blushes* it was nothing i just wanted it over with decorateing is always a hasstle

Mia: well next time we'll help. for now though let's get you to bed your match might be tomorrow.
Jasmine: yes and mind you that your opponent is Valary.
Pico:good point*heads to his bead and falls over feeling the 2 come to each side*
Jasmine & Mia: night pico.*Jasmine snaps her fingers getting the lights*
Pico: night.
*the 3 pass out for the rest of the night*
*elsewhere*
Val:well tomorrow ends round one. and its likely round 2 will start after.
Snow:*looks into her eyes* I know I'll be there supporting you every step of the way.*kisses her with tender love* Hey um if you on't mind me asking, when do you plan on…you know…
Val:well it'll be sometime after the this tounament. You'll figure out when.*kisses him back* for now though relax.*snuggles up to him* I love you.
Snow: *smiles as he embraces her* Love you too , Dear.
*at the office*
SB: This is actually good. the park is on schedule. If we keep this up it'll be open by next week.
*The following morning*
SB: Today's the day! round one will be over after this last match, and round 2 will start.

pico:yawn good mourning girls both:mourning pico

Jasmine: let me get brunch started*kisses pico*
Mia: so are you ready for today?

pico:oh yeah i cant wait…dont know if i could hurt Val though*frowns*

Mia: oh pico*hugs him* your not hurting Val. Think of it as a extreme sparing match. Kind of like the one you Snow and DN had.

pico:if you say so. demonicpico:(whats the plan chief?) pico:(to win? i guess i will stick with elemental spells theirs a few elements i havent done like wind or earth).
