Chapter 1: Humble
Beginnings
The Plane of Torment. Not so much a
reality as a nexus, it rested in the very core of the Memory
Pools, powering them with the energy at it's very edges. In
the centre floated numerous land masses, covered with a
variety of envioments, each one adapted from a number of
realities. Only here could one find the teeming jungles of
Kurast, the towering skyscrapers of Esthar, and the vast
savannahs of the Veldt in such close proximity to one another.
The seven islands slowly circled the centre of the Plane, a
gleaming sphere which cast the daylight of a million realities
onto the lands surrounding it.
Mian and Volnes floated
above the jungle-covered island, and watched as the
contestants they had gathered roamed around aimlessly. "Well,
Ayin, shall we begin?" Volnes asked.
"Yes, Keir, it is
time to set our plan in motion," Mian replied, and prepared to
cast a spell to magnify her voice.
"Don't bother,
Ayin. I'll just use this." Volnes grinned and held up an
elaborate megaphone.
Mian raised an eyebrow. "And
where did you find that?"
"In that ruined city, in the
reality which Strife and the others come from. It was just
sitting in a locker." With a flick of the switch, Volnes
turned on the megaphone, and the two flew to a small temple
near the middle of the jungle.
Throughout the jungle,
Volnes' voice rang out as clear as a bell. "Everyone, report
to the temple at the centre of the jungle immediately. I
repeat, report to the temple at the centre of the jungle
immediately."
Volnes switched off the Megaphone. "This
shouldn't take too long..." he commented, and sure enough,
within a half-hour, all of the contestants had assembled in
front of the temple, most with angry looks on their faces.
Mian stepped forward and formally bowed. "I welcome
you, warriors, to the Tournament of Champions. The challenge
will test your skill, your wits, and your will to live. I am
Mian and this is my compatriot Volnes. We are conducting this
tournament to find a person worthy of joining the Eternal's
Echelon. I assure you, this is as great a prize as anyone can
offer." My, that was an excellent lie. These people shall
be easy to fool, Ayin thought inside of Mian's shell.
"The tournament shall last seven days. When a
contestant has become too weak to continue, we shall remove
them from contention. We don't want you to die; that would
harm the realities that you come from."
Volnes stepped
up and took over. "Today's challenge shall take place on this
island. The jungle shall provide you with cover, but may also
conceal your enemies from view. There are also demons roaming
through this jungle, as I'm sure a few have you have already
discovered." He smirked as he looked over the crowd, seeing a
few scratches here and there. "Those of you capable of flight,
I do not recommend trying to get to the other islands; the air
currents are turbulant between the islands, and I guarantee
that you do not want to fall into the energy barrier."
"Before I let you go, I should mention that a few
individuals have managed to enter this dimension without our
assistance. They are not contenders in this tournament, and I
would recommend not wasting your energies on attacking them."
Mian spoke last. "When you leave here, you will have
one hour to spread yourselves out before you begin battle.
Anyone who fights before the hour is up shall be disqualified.
Good luck, warriors. May the Creator watch over you." Volnes
suppressed a smirk when Mian said this.
When all the
warriors had left, Volnes turned to his friend. "'May the
Creator watch over you,' eh? Funny that you didn't mention how
she's DEAD."
"Eh, the line popped out on reflex. It's
something that any Eternal would say," Mian replied. "Besides,
don't you think the warriors will fight better knowing that
someone other than us is watching them."
"As long as
they produce enough energy for this plan of yours, I don't
care HOW confident they are..." Volnes replied, just before
disappearing. Mian shrugged, and disappeared as well.

Round 1 - You are stuck on the
Jungle Island. Thick foliage cast shadows everywhere, and the
sinister minions of Diablo are out for human blood. A river
with no apparent source runs through the middle of the island,
draining off the sides into the energy ocean below. Just make
sure you don't get thrown off, okay?

*Krizak arrives and quickly casts every protective
magic ever known on himself.* Alright, I am horribly, horribly
late, and I'm sorry. I had to work late last night, and when I
got home, my brain was to fried to attempt to write. But now
I'm all refreshed, and ready to weave the world in which you
shall fight.
The first round will last longer than
most to compensate for my lateness. It won't close until 11:59
PM MDT on Sunday. That's Mountain Daylight Time and PM, for
all of those who are confused.
Welcome, Julia! Your
Sidekick of Selphie has been formally recognized. Now, if
you'd be so kind as to delete your Last Minute thread, I'd be
much obliged...
Oh, and if I see any Yaoi/Yuri stuff
in here... DEATH!!!
