Battle Royale Round 1(2nd Stage)

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

(The ones in this thread shall be Jay and Basil)
The roars of the army crowd had flooded the arena as the warriors of the several districs, towns, and villages piled up on different gate entrances. To the East stood Gator and Amber, the strongest warriors of Croak Town. To the North stood Reid and Weid, brothers from the village of Oil, and to the South stood Jay and Basil, members of the Gold Dream Pirates. Finally to the west stood the Enforcer divisions.......this was the first time in the history of the Royale that Enforcers had participated. Now the battle would begin.

Suddenly the bell rang and the warriors flooded into the arena. The grounds imitated that of a fallen kingdom, destroyed buildings and wastes of towns were shown as the giant arena shook. Warriors had already fallen and more and more were becoming wounded. The one known as Gator had already taken down 12 warriors out of the total 88 warriors that flooded into the arena. From the notes that Wilson had prepared, Gator was ranked the #1 top fighter of the entire Kingdom. A fierce warrior indeed as he had taken down several warriors in an instant, using his giant fists to pound them down and his sword to bring down any opponent.

Now only 10 warriors will remain to enter the next round....

Basil quickly pulled his rapiers out of their sheathes, allowing them to fly into the air before grabbing hold of their hilts. He flourished the blades around until he was holding them properly. He exhaled breifly, ready to defend himself. He wasn't planning on over-exerting himself in fighting, but was rather going to defend himself until the final moments and take out the stronger enemies while they were tired, possibly strangling them under when they weren't paying any attention to him.

"See you on the other side, Jay. Let's try to keep an eye on eachother's backs." With that, his pupils dilated and he ran towards the crowd. It would be important for him to avoid using his devil fruit abilities so that he would have an edge in the later parts of the competition. He had 3 minutes to remove as many people as he could without killing them; Simple enough.

Instead of making his way to Gator in the center of the arena, he weaved in between the crowd members at an incredible speed. "Touchez de L'Morte!" As he ran, people next to him sustained moderate damage. Cuts and stabs formed on their bodies in non-vital locations. It almost appeared that he wasn't doing anything, but any trained eye would see the faint movements he was making, incredibly fast strokes with his blades to cause damage and incapacitate his opponents.

Jay and Basil stood ready to do battle. This was a elimination round that they had to survive, and make it to the top ten. He cracked his knuckles and did some stretches. Basil unsheathed his rapiers, they both were ready to go.

"See you on the other side, Jay. Let's try to keep an eye on each other backs." Basil said to him.

“Sounds good to me, see you on the other side.” he replied. Then Basil dashed out into the arena. Jay was planning to keep his weapons as trump cards. He would just use his strength and speed to stomp anyone who got in his way. He tilted his hat to the side and clenched his fists. “Lets Go!” he yelled as he dashed out into the arena. Dust kicked up into the air as he dashed out.

There was a big guy in the middle so that was his target. Jay was always one to go after the big score. First he had to eliminate the competition around him. He made sure to stay in sight of basil so he can watch his back. There was a group of enforcers that approached him from the crowd. They were all running at him. He cracked a smile as he ran at them. A enforcer swung his sword at Jay but he dodged and grabbed his face. Jay crushed his helmet and launched him into the other enforcers. They were knocked over like bowling pins.

Some of them began to get back up but Jay wasn't gonna let them recover. “Titian-Tonic Shift!” he stomped the ground hard. A large rectangular piece of the arena stood straight up. It seemed to eclipse the enforcers. “Maha-Cannon!” Jay slammed both of his fists into the block pushing it forward. Everyone in front would be pushed backwards and flattened by the falling debris. The Block moved forward knocking the enforcers back, then the slab broke into smaller pieces raining on several of the other competitors. This battle was far from over as he continued to make his way to the big man in the middle.

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

Gator had now noticed the immense power of two specific combatants and thought it would be wise to eliminate them as quick as possible, therefore he quickly called up Amber so that they could corner the two. 8 enforcers and 3 Villagers from Mountain had charged at him with their special paralysis bullets, and the Mountain Club-Guns that were so famous. Gator only stared at them blankly as he pushed off one Enforcer, suddenly the Enforcer just shook and then stood still as in an instance was pushed back and slammed into several combatants. Gator himself had taken out over 33 competitors already. The number one ranked fighter was still pushed onwards as Amber joined him.

"We need to eliminate the duo who entered from the South Gate immediately.......follow my lead."

Gator then jump up into the air and took out axes that were tied to his back. One for each hand the swung them hard as two craters appeared on the ground. Then Amber ran forward quickly and played a tune on her flute. She then swung the flute around as the ground began to lift up. Now with the tilting ground, many warriors were now defeated, leaving only 27 warriors left, Jay and Basil would be sucked into the center where they would have to fight Gator and Amber.........

As he was running, Basil had downed several opponents while they weren't paying attention. On his way, many tried to take him down on his run, swinging their weapons or trying to trip him up. When he ran past the trippers, he simply jumped over their legs, slowing down slightly but still cutting them without being seen. As swords and axes crossed his path, impacts from his rapier pushed and guided the strikes away, covering the offenders in cuts and small gashes.

Soon after he had started, the ground began to reshape. Out of the corner of his eyes, Basil could make out the movements of the larger man Gator to be the instigator behind the grounds structuring. Losing his footing at the sudden shift, Basil began to slide towards the center of the arena to where Gator and Amber were. He stabbed Lasher into the ground and regained his footing as many others fell past him, into Gator's death trap. His heart started beating again, the shock causing him small pain and discomfort which was quickly discarded, recovered from. He frantically searched the arena, trying to make out where Jay was after the crater had formed.

He pulled Lasher from the arena floor, spectating what was happening. For now, he should be safe, what with all the action now taking place at the arena's center and himself perched on higher ground away from the present danger.

They all began to advance on Jay from every direction. He jumped high above the mob, he was suspended in mid air for a second. He took out his right gauntlet. He snapped it onto his hand. Still floating in for a second he began to snap his fingers together, that set off a spark. A flame followed that engulfed his right arm. The mob was confused at what was going at the time.

Jay began to deceased at a highspeed. “Lets see how like this!” he yelled at the top of his lungs. Jay pulled his arm back and prepared for a attack. “Burning Rave!” he yelled as he slammed his fist into the ground. The ground shook and broke apart as flames traveled outward. A explosion followed causing fire and debris to go everywhere around him. The ground pulled upwards, sending opponents flying everywhere.

Jay stood up and shook the flame off his arm. He tipped his hat upward and looked around. “Too easy.” Then the ground began to shake and crumble as it reshaped. He saw Basil being pulled into the middle also. “Good he is alright, but now we have a bigger issue to deal with.” Jay stabbed his gauntlet into the reshaping ground to stop himself. “Hey Basil! I think this is our formal invitation!” Jay yelled at him.

The guy who was beating opponents was at the epicenter of this reform. He had someone with him but Jay ignored her. There was some others with them but Jay figured he would just crush them if they got in the way. He let go of the ground and began to run down into the middle. “I call dibs on the big guy!” he yelled as he snapped his left gauntlet on. Jay dashed into combat ready to take on the world if he had to.

[.::Haseo On The Clouds::.]

Gator once again witnessed the defeat of the warriors as his hands simply threw them back.....leaving them still ....but alive on the battlegrounds. The earth continued to tilt for several more moments before Gator once again slammed his axe into the side ground, where Amber began to tap with gently with here flute. The ground ceased to shift form. Cracking his knuckles and massaging his shoulder, Gator's eyes fell on the ready opponent, the one he had been seeking to defeat. Rotating his head and neck counterclockwise, Gator swung his axe upwards again and again, slowly approaching the fast target.

The other was more slower to arrive, finding sanctuary on higher ground. With a smirk Gator motioned Amber to do her work.

Amber shifted her focus onto Basil, twirling his flute like a baton, the wind passed through the holes, creating beautiful whistling noises. Gently touching her lips onto her instrument, she played a soft, saddening tune. The ground shook once more and the ground where Basil rested at began to crack. The outer layer began to shift to the side, and the ground began to return to a flat shape. Amber jumped high into the air, floating for several seconds and then landing on the high flat ground, where he faced Basil 1v1.

Just as Gator and Amber readied themselves for battle, a loud shriek filled the air. There was a gong and then Gator and Amber stood down.

"THIS ROUND OF BATTLE HAS CONCLUDED! ONLY 10 WARRIORS REMAIN!

With this Gator and Amber both sighed accordingly and exited the arena along with the other warriors, leaving Basil and Jay to do what they wanted to.

[White Mimic]

"That was fast." Basil looked around the arena. For the most part Gator and Amber took care of the majority of the combatants. At the very least it meant that he didn't have to do anything to stay in the game but he didn't feel particularly useful. Sliding Lasher into it's sheathe, he slid down into the crater to Jay. "Guess we get to fight next round then." He looked at the arena again this time kicking at the ground lightly. "Hmmm. I doubt they'll use such destructive techniques later on in the 1 on 1 fights. A confined area like those would only survive one of those attacks and if they miss, it makes it harder for them as well."

He rubbed his shoulder a bit. It might have been pulled a little from sticking lasher into the ground and using it as a gripping rod. He swung it back and forth before grabbing his shoulder and pushing it against himself. There was a cracking noise as it popped back into place. He moved it around to make sure there was no damage before looking at Jay again. I think it may be dislocated a tad, but I should be able to fight next round. You get any injuries?"

[Masta Deltron]

Jay stopped running and just stood in the crater for a while. He was not the least bit happy. “Damn it, just when things were starting to get good.” He said pouting for a moment. Gator and amber just began to walk off the field. Jay took his gauntlets off and placed them back on the holster that was located on his back. He let out a deep sigh and saw that Basil had slid down next to him.

"Guess we get to fight next round then." Basil looked at the arena again this time kicking at the ground lightly. "Hmmm, I doubt they'll use such destructive techniques later on in the 1 on 1 fights. A confined area like those would only survive one of those attacks and if they miss, it makes it harder for them as well." He explained to Jay.

“That doesn’t mean I won’t,” Jay said with a cocky smile. He scratched his head and looked around the cracker. “Let me create away up this hole.” he said raising his foot backward. “Seiryu Spada!” he yelled kicking extremely hard. Following the kick a blade of pressurized wind followed the kick ripping a path up the crater. Rugged but it would have to suffice. Jay began to walk up the rugged path and turned around. “Well let’s get out of here.”
