The sun shone brightly down on the forest. The sounds of Chocobo running rampant could only be heard from within. That was until a small airship flew over top of the forest, the wind picked up as the ship lowered to the ground. Once the ship had landed and the motor's cut out the large playful birds came close to inspect the new comer to their forest. As they closed in on the ship a loud bang shot through the air. A door had slammed shut as Galeon had walked out stretching as he looked around.
" Aaahhhh.... Perfect place for a day off...."
He smirked as he looked down at the birds and smiled.
" Always so curious... You know curiosity killed the cat..."
He thought for a second before laughing a bit.
" But you're not cats so I guess it doesn't matter..."
He jumped down off the deck of the ship and the birds sprinted away and Galeon continued to walk away from the ship and found a patch of shade under a tree.
" Ah that's perfect!"
He plopped down under the tree and put his arms behind his head to act like a pillow. He sat and watched the clouds and the birds run around until an hour passed and he finally fell asleep.

As Galeon fell asleep he was transported to a new world. One that he sort of recognized yet was completely different. It was the Coliseum, a place filled with a history of violence and champions. Tournaments were held here yearly as a spectator sport to crown a champion.
-------------------
Galeon looked on at the Coliseum, a modern version of a Roman battle arena. He smirked as he looked at all the people who were there to spectate and some of the many participants. He noticed a group of fighters and laughed quietly to himself.
" I hope they aren't all I've got for competition or this is going to be rather boring...."
He leaned against a pillar as he looked around the front of the building hoping to find some sort of real competition.
The intercom blasted every 5 minutes or so to remind participants of where registration was and when the tournament would begin.
" Good afternoon tournament fighters. Registration is within the front doors on the right. The games will behing once we have everybody registered and ranking completed. Please be registered and ready by 4 pm. Good luck to you all. "
Galeon looked up at a speaker and was glad he had this all done already and could relax for the time being.

::He heard a commotion about a wild animal, fallowed by a tiger roar. He looked and saw it was a white tiger. But what made this one stand out was it had two tails. That was when he heard a familiar voice::
"I wouldn't mess with her if I were you guys."
::Jas walked up to the group::
"Kyran here is not your ordinary tiger."
Guy 1: Is this tiger yours?
"Yes, but I guarantee she won't cause any trouble. She might look fierce, but she's just an overgrown pussycat. That is if you don't give her a reason to attack."
::As the group left::
Kyran: *To Jas* Thanks, though I could of managed them myself.
"And get yourself locked up like a wild animal?"

(OOC: Wow it's been awhile since I've posted. Let's give this a go)
What's this about wild animals?
::Jas' ears tingle at the sound of a familiar voice, and when he turns Iole is leaning against one of the support columns with her arms folded as though she'd already been standing there::
I was hoping you'd be competing today Old Man.

::He inwardly groaned at Iole's choice of a nickname for him. Though he was one of the oldest of the heroes, he wasn't THAT old or at least appeared to be. Then he realized what she said.:: "I take it you registered as well, squirt? Surprised your shadow didn't try to talk you out of it."

::She hid it well, but she too had a dislike of the name he gave her, a dislike he still happened to catch::
You know I never turn down a fight. Nyx tried to talk me out of it. She also tried to talk me out of signing her up. But if I were you I'd be more worried about which of us has to face Auntie.

::He inwardly grinned as he noted her dislike of being called squirt.:: Just like Eva, she could never stand that nickname as well. They really are sisters. he thought to himself.
"No need to worry about me. I'm actually looking forward to crossing blades with her."

::Iole pumped her fist::
Good because I'm taking bets. Nyx and Gideon are fighting that one out in the practice room. Obviously Nyx bet Auntie would take you out in two rounds.

Kyran: Perhaps Nyx shouldn't make bets unless she knows about both participants. She has never seen Jas at a hundred percent so she cannot make an accurate judgement about him.
"Enough of the boasting Kyran."
Kyran: Though I wish I could be a part of this. But rules state an animal cannot participate alone. And that goes double for summonings.

::Iole's eyes go wide at Kyran's statement::
No animals? Does that mean... no shapeshifting either?
|

Post by Jas on Nov 12, 2012 0:37:41 GMT -5
::Kyran shakes her head at Iole's question::
Kyran: The rules stated that any power can be used, including any form of shapeshifting. So there's no need to worry yourself about that.

::Iole wiped her brow, but then looked at Kyran::
Wait, so I can fight as a tiger, but they won't let a tiger fight? Wouldn't you call that a little racist?

Kyran: Just that last time they let a trained animal fight, it went feral and attacked the official incharge of the match, nearly mauled him to death before they managed to knock him out. Full animals like myself, even though I'm a summoning, can never be trained to get rid of our feral side during battle, and they will never know when it will kick in. Shifters like yourself don't have to worry about that because you're feral side can easily be blocked or directed by your human mind.

Galeon hearing a tiger roar began to peer around trying to locate the animal, if it were an animal to begin with. His eyes crossed the crowd until he caught sight of what made the noise and who was with it.
" Would you look at that... Some real competition finally showed up."
He smirked and silently crossed the crowd to his old friends.
" Well look what we've got here... An old man and his p**** cat and a little trouble maker..."
After he finished his sentence he grabbed Iole around the head and started rubbing his fist around the top of her head.

::Iole laughed as Galeon buried his knuckles in her hair, but then he felt her take a firm hold on his arm. Then his legs flew up from under him and over her before he landed on his back. She landed on top of him with her forearm held against his chest::
In case you'd forgotten, I'm not so little anymore.
::Then she gave him a peck on the cheek before she stood up and offered him her hand::

::Jas laughed as Galeon was knocked off his feet.::
"Good to see you too Gal." ::Looks through the crowd.:: "Wonder if any of the others are either signing up or will be showing up to watch. Been along time since all of us were in the same place."

::Iole pointed her thumb over her shoulder::
Why don't we go check the roster?

"Sorry, but they will not reveal the roster." ::The voice caught the 3 of them by surprise. They looked and saw it was Kerion.:: "Been awhile everyone."
Jas: I take it you're also signing up?
"No, not this time. The people holding this tournament hired me for additional security. And to make sure some fighters stay within the rules."

Galeon laughs as he takes Iole's hand as she helps him up.
" Ah, you'll always be little in my books..."
He smirked as he nodded to Jas and then looked to Kerion.
" RULES!?!?!?! WHAT!?!?! THERE'S RULES!?!?!?!"
Galeon smacks his forehead and then slides his hand down his face.
" Guhh... Guess I better play by them... Don't need any bullets in me today."
He poked his elbow into Kerion's side jokingly as he looked back to the rest of them.
" Well since Mr. Security over here says we can't actually see the roster shall we take a look around?"

"Sounds good to me. Perhaps we might grab something to eat while we're looking." ::Kyran's size changes until she's the size of a kitten and jumps on Jas's shoulder::
