I'd like to join also.
I'm going to bet 2,500 on Emeralda. :)
The gates opened and both moogle and green-haired nanomachine colony strode onto the field.
"Our next match is between Montblanc and Emeralda! BEGIN!"
"Haste!" Montblanc yelled, magical swiftness invigorating him.
"Terra Holz," Emeralda said calmly. The arena was suddenly torn up by massive spikes of earth emerging from the ground. One came up and stabbed Montblanc, launching him into the air.
"Firaga!" Montblanc yelled weakly. Emeralda frowned and nimbly jumped to the side as the torrent of flame burst forth from the wounded moogle, incinerating the area she was just standing in.
Emeralda charged forward. As the moogle hit the ground, she stood over him and formed her arm into a longsword, aiming it at his throat.
"Emeralda is the winner!"

The gates opened once more as Thunder God and Keyblade Master stepped onto the field.
"Our next battle is between Orlandu and Sora! BEGIN!"
Sora leapt into the air and began gliding, keyblade in his right hand.
"Lightning Stab!" Orlandu yelled, thrusting his blade at Sora. A massive blade of lightning burst forth, but Sora was moving too fast and he dodged the attack.
Landing lightly to the side of Orlandu, Sora raised his keyblade.
"Thundara!" he yelled, bolts of lighting emerging from the sky and striking at Orlandu.
Orlandu jumped back, taking a few hits in his attempt to dodge. Grunting, he slashed his sword in a downward arc.
"Holy Explosion!"
A beam of light came down as Sora desperately rolled to the side, taking him in the leg. Sora tried to stand, but the wound slowed him down. He looked up just in time to see Orlandu raise his sword.
"Stasis Sword!"
Shards of Ice burst from the sword, enshrouding Sora and shattering. When they cleared, Sora was lying on the ground, breathing heavily and covered in wounds.
Energy began to swarm around Sora and when he stood, he held two keyblades in his hands, one long and ornately decorated one and another plain silver one with a gold handle. Standing shakily, he raised his keyblade.
"Cura!"
Mystic energy flowed through him and his wounds healed somewhat. Leveling his blades, he charged at Orlandu, just as Orlandu thrust his sword at Sora.
"Shellbust Stab!"
Sora rolled to the side as the crescent shockwave slashed through the air. Standing, he continued his charge and slashed at Orlandu with his right keyblade.
Orlandu brought his sword down to knock the keyblade aside. Sora immediately swung his second at Orlandu's skull. Orlandu raised his hand and caught the blade, yanking it forward and pulling Sora off balance.
Bringing his sword in, he thrust it at Sora.
"Crush Punch!"
A beam of energy lanced through Sora's body, flinging him like a ragdoll. Sora landed several feet away from Orlandu, his hands clutching a bloody wound on his chest. Orlandu sheathed his sword as the Cleric and White Mage unit rushed onto the scene.

The next match will be between Vincent and Emeralda. Betting will close at midnight tomorrow.
I'm transfering 2000 to GT2.
Also betting 2000 on vincent.
Edit: Also after I had 5000 and bet 1000 on Emerelda I should have had 6000 not 2000 (I then transfered 4000 to GT2). Then I had 2000 which I bet on Orlandu, he won giving me a total of 4000, it says 2000. Now I'm making the above transfer.
1,000,000
100,000 on Vincent.
10,000
4000 on Emeralda.
866,512
125,488 on Emeralda
Hum, Void? Not to be picky but you didn't give me the correct amount of money. I had 7500 before last match, and bet 3750 and won. Shouldn't it be 11250 instead of 8750? ;)
12000
1500 on Mr. Valentine.
5250 on Vincent, here.
I think i'll try this out. Assuming I start with 5000 gil, I bet 1500 on Vincent.
The gates opened, and ex-Turk and Nanomachine stepped onto the field.
"The next battle is between Vincent and Emeralda! BEGIN!"
Vincent drew his gun and fired three successive shots at Emeralda. Emeralda frowned and her body opened up in the middle, allowing the bullets to pass through without harming her. Reforming, she sprouted green, feathery wings from her back and took to the air.
Vincent aimed his gun into the air as Emeralda's eyes glowed.
"Thermo Geist!" she said, a massive torrent of flame bursting from her and engulfing the battlefield below. Vincent swore as one of the green gems on his gun glowed. "Blizzaga!" he yelled, ice bursting from his gun. The flames enveloped the battlefield as the ice spread outward, and a loud hissing could be heard.
Emeralda flew over the steam cloud, keeping moving in case Vincent was still on his feet. Sure enough, as the steam cleared, Vincent appeared, trying in vain to aim at Emeralda.
Emeralda swooped in and turned her hand into a massive mace, slapping Vincent aside. He grunted as he was blasted into the arena wall. As he stood, Emeralda rushed in, impaling him on a spear-arm.
Vincent gasped and coughed up blood, his arms beginning to grow and thicken. Massive black wings sprouted from his back as his chest grew muscular and his face became demonic.
Emeralda drew back and flew into the air, her own wings flapping gracefully and showering the burnt battlefield with green feathers.
Vincent shrieked in rage and flew up, slashing at Emeralda. Emeralda dodged as best she could, but several blades managed to cut her, opening wounds that did not bleed.
Emeralda flew up higher and spread her wings, lightning showering the field. Vincent screamed in rage as the lighting assailed him. Energy pulsating through him, he hurled screaming black skulls at Emeralda.
Emeralda danced in the air, dodging away from the skulls. She spread her wings again and a massive wave of ice burst forth, engulfing Vincent and encasing him in ice. As he began to fall, he burst free with a mighty roar, his wings spreading and keeping him from falling. At that moment a massive dark beast hurled itself at him, knocking him to the ground. The dark beast clawed at his body, inflicting deep wounds. Roaring again, Vincent hurled a skull at it, causing it to vaporize into black mist. At that moment another torrent of flame engulfed him, causing him to howl in rage. As the flames cleared Emeralda flew in their wake, much akin to an avenging angel. Her arm forming into a spear, she thrust it into Vincent's chest. He roared in pain, and shifted back into his normal form, which was heavily battered by the fight.

I think squall got a bye as Orlandu beat Sora.
3rd Round
Vincent beats Shadow
Emerelda beats Montblanc
Orlandu beats Sora
Squall gets a bye
4th Round
Emerelda beats Vincent (Lost my remaining money on this)
Orlandu vs. Albel Nox
Squall gets another bye?
I think Orlandu should just be against Squall instead of bringing in Albel Nox... that seemed to be the point of his bye last round, to get only four people left. This way next rould will be for example: Orlandu vs. emerelda and the winner of that vs. squall who had 3 byes in a tournament that's like 6 rounds.
Blargh. Next time I make my own brackets. It's too annoying to keep track of in my head.
OK. Orlandu and Squall. Sounds good.
ooohh... I would've liked squall to get another bye as he should win- me and my big mouth.
14,000
Given the characters involved, this arguably could have been the final. I'll put 500 on Orlandu.
The gates opened once more as the Thunder God and SeeD stepped onto the field.
"The next battle is between Orlandu and Squall! BEGIN!"
Squall drew his gunblade and aimed it at Orlandu, firing twice.
Orlandu dodged to the side, energy crackling upon his sword. Raising it, he thrust at Squall.
"Hellcry Punch!"
A massive surge of energy burst from his sword. Squall jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding it.
Righting himself, Orlandu thrust his sword at Squall once more.
"Crush Punch!"
Squall raised his hands and his eyes glowed red. As the energy from Orlandu's attack sped towards Squall, a demonic creature appeared, wreathed in flames, it's arms wrapped around Squall protectively. Jumping in front of him, the creature was impaled upon the attack, and dissipated into red fragments.
Orlandu dashed in and unleashed a vicious horizontal slash at Squall, who barely managed to bring his gunblade down in time to block it. Orlandu gripped his sword in both hands, pushing heavily against Squall's blade.
Squall's legs buckled from under him as he gripped his gunblade in both hands, but the added strength was not sufficient to stop Orlandu. Desperately, Squall pushed upwards with his blade with all his strength, knocking Orlandu back slightly. Using this chance, he drew back and aimed his balde at Orlandu, preparing to fire.
"Holy Explosion!"
A beam of white light descended from the heavens and engulfed Squall. When it passed, he kneeled upon the ground, panting heavily.
"Night Sword!" Orlandu yelled, thrusting at Squall. Squall glared at him with yellow eyes as a massive birdlike creature appeared and was impaled upon Orlandu's attack, it, too, dissipating.
In the wake of the attack, Orlandu sped forward and slashed at Squall's gunblade, knocking it to the side. He then took his sword and pointed it at Squall's throat, the blade glowing with gathered energy.
Squall faced down the blade for a moment, before lowering his head.

The final is between Emeralda and Orlandu. Betting officially closes tomorrow, but I may not have time to update until Saturday or Sunday.
In a bit early tonight, eh? Disappointingly, Squall never unleashed any of his limit breaks.
After Orlandu trounces Emeralda, I suggest one last bonus battle. It can be a preliminary thing for Albel since he was denied his opportunity to appear. Instead of facing off against the victor, he'll fight Squall, since he didn't fill his battle quota as had everyone else. This will serve as an opportunity for Squall to redeem himself to appear in the next tournament. Of course, the betting on this particular battle would be more about whether we think you want to continue writing for Squall or if you've gotten tired of him already. Meh. Something to think about.
1/2 on Orlandu.
I'm gonna take a risk. EVERYTHING on Orlandu. ;)
7000 on Orlandu.
Going to take a risk too since it's the last round. 6000 on Orlandu.
Just in case Void doesn't realize I placed a bet, I'll restate my wager.
500,000g on Orlandu
14,500
500 on Orlandu.
900,000
100,000 on Emeralda.
I'll go with 1,000 on Emeralda.
The gates opened amidst the wild cheers of the crowd as the final match began. Emeralda strode confidently into the stadium, her long green hair framing her tall and slender form.
Orlandu entered from the other side, sword drawn and cloak wrapped tightly around his body. Energy crackled along his blade, and he appeared ready for a fight.
"The final match is between Emeralda and Orlandu! BEGIN!"
Emeralda's eyes hardened to narrow slits as green feathered wings burst from her back. Beating them, she lifted off into the air, flying overhead.
Orlandu ran his hand over the blade and it began to crackle with electricity.
"LIGHTNING STAB!" he howled as a blade of lightning extended outward, bursting towards Emeralda with great speed.
Emeralda beat her wings once more and dodged to the side, the lightning narrowly missing her. She closed her eyes as a red aura enveloped her, ether forming in her hands.
"THERMO GEIST!" she yelled, flames bursting forth and enveloping the battlefield.
Orlandu grunted and ran to the edge of the arena, his blade pulsing with blue energy.
"STASIS SWORD!" he yelled, shards of ice bursting from his sword and causing a burst of steam as they connected with the flames and melted instantaneously, holding back the flames and preventing them from reaching him.
"SPLIT PUNCH!" Orlandu yelled, a ghostly image of a blue sword bursting through the cloud of steam and hurling itself at Emeralda.
Emeralda gasped in pain as the blade impaled her, opening a wound in her chest that began to bleed a strange ichor.
Hissing softly to herself, she folded her wings and swooped in low. Her hand transformed into a massive mace and she swung it at Orlandu, who raised his sword to block the strike.
Emeralda whirled, two large axe-like blades bursting from her chest and slashing at Orlandu.
Orlandu grimaced and jumped back, freeing Emeralda's hand, which she transformed into a long spear and thrust at him.
Orlandu groaned as the nanomachine's blade impaled him. Grasping the blade in one hand, he grit his teeth and thrust his sword at Emeralda.
"CRUSH PUNCH!"
A lance of orange energy burst forth from the sword and impaled Emeralda. She shrieked in pain as it hit her began glowing with yellow light.
"AMENO OMEGA!"
A torrent of lightning burst forth from where Emeralda stood. Orlandu howled in pain as it slammed into him, releasing his grip on Emeralda's blade. The lightning blasted him backwards into the wall, where he lay for a few tense moments before slowly standing, using his blade to support himself.
Emeralda was still standing, but her shoulders were hunched and she was breathing heavily.
For several moments both combatants stood, staring each other down. Orlandu stood and gripped his blade tightly, energy crackling around it. Emeralda responded by once again sprouting massive green-feathered wings and forming a sword which seemed attached to her hand.
"HOLY EXPLOSION!"
Beams of light burst from the sky just as Emeralda jumped forward, scorching the ground where she had been standing mere moments before with holy energy.
Emeralda's wings snapped open and she glided through the air. Recovering his sword, Orlandu ran his hand over the blade and thrust it at Emeralda in one fluid motion.
"LIGHTNING STAB!"
Emeralda beat her wings fiercely and spiraled through the air, dodging the attack by a hairsbreadth. Shooting forward, she thrust her sword at Orlandu.
They both stood there for a moment as Emeralda retracted her wings, Orlandu's sword extended and Emeralda right next to him, within his guard. Coughing blood, Orlandu fell to his knees and fell back, sliding off her sword. Emeralda backed away and dropped to her knees, gasping for breath, as the Cleric and White Mage unit rushed forward to attend to both combatant.
