Hero Grand Tournament Round 17: Celes vs. Taki

Because I was given no information on Tombi...

The gates of the main arena battlefield swung open and two figures stepped onto the field.

One was a humanoid robot wearing white armor that seemed to cover a blue frame. The other was a caveman of some sort.

"The next battle is between Tombi and X! BEGIN!"

As Tombi charged forward, X began to glow with brilliant energy.

Just as Tombi reached X, X's right hand retracted into his arm and he unleashed a massive energy blast that sent Tombi flying into the wall.

Tombi then fell down onto the ground and lay there, completely unconcious.

"X is the winner!"

2nd Match: Tombi vs. X

Victory: X

The next match will be between PacMan and Geno. It will take place in Ipsen's Castle. Betting will close at midnight tomorrow.

Confirming bet.

First off, I'm going to stretch this as much as I can. Don't hold your breath for a long and epic battle though. It's fugging PACMAN.

Two figures emerged into the silent halls of Ipsen's Castle.

One was a strange being indeed, a yellow ball with bulging eyes and a mouth that took up just about all of the space on its body.

The other was what appeared to be a walking doll dressed in a blue cloak. It was made out of wood and somewhat puppetlike in demeanor, but it moved smoothly, almost a parody of human movement.

"The next battle is between Pacman and Geno! BEGIN!"

Geno slowly circled Pacman as the creature began lunging forward at him, its mouth constantly moving.

"What the devil is this?" Geno muttered to himself as he nimbly dodged away from Pacman, easily staying far beyond it's reach.

Still, Pacman continued moving towards him with a sort of single-minded intensity found in characters that were created before games had plots.

After a few moments of dodging, Geno seemed to grow bored.

Leaping away from Pacman, he extended a small wand, energy gathering at its tip.

Unthinkingly, Pacman surged forward, moving towards Geno as fast as its physics-defying round bottom would carry it.

A beam of light burst forth from Geno's wand, hitting Pacman and launching it through the castle wall and outside, where it bounced down a cliff and lay motionless in a nearby river.

"Geno is the winner!"

Geno crossed his arms and nodded emphatically at this announcement.

4th Match: Pacman vs. Geno

Victory: Geno

The next match will be between Master Chief and the Hero. It will take place in Mount Gangazet. Betting will close at midnight tomorrow.

Cinfirming bet. Dont know any of the characters for the next match, I just took a blind guess.

Everyone, please remember to post a bet confirmation post when you bet. It helps me keep track of everything.

Also, may I suggest www.gamefaqs.com for any kind of analysis on a character who's going to fight. It'd give you a better idea than blind betting.

Snow was piling up on the fridgid peaks of Mount Gangezet as two figures emerged on either side of a sheer face.

One was dressed in green armor that covered his body and had an orange visor covering his face. He held two strange guns, one in either hand, and had an energy blade strapped to his back.

The other was a young boy with a red bandana and dark purple hair. He wore a yellow surcoat over a blue tunic, as well as brown pants. He held sword in his right hand and a shield in his left, both of which were quite ornate and hummed with ancient magical energy.

"The next battle is between Master Chief and the Hero! BEGIN!"

Grasping his sword, the Hero charged forward, moving along the side of the mountain.

Drawing his guns, Master Chief unleashed a barrage of plasma charges at the Hero, creating a line of explosions along the side of the mountain as the Hero charged.

The Hero jumped forward and slashed at Master Chief, causing Master Chief to jump back and dodge the attack.

The air around Master Chief became distorted for a moment as the Hero's sword flared to life, disrupting some of Master Chief's shields.

Drawing back, Master Chief fired several more shots at the Hero. The Hero dropped to a crouch and raised his shield, the charges slamming into the shield but leaving the Hero relatively unharmed.

Dropping his guns as they began to overheat, Master Chief drew forth his energy blade and charged at the Hero.

Raising his sword, the Hero intercepted the energy blade, his sword glowing as it pushed back against Master Chief's own sword.

His body moving with a quickness beyond most normal humans, Master Chief reversed his swing's momentum for a moment and pulled his blade back before thrusting it at the Hero's eyes.

With an expert flick of his wrists the Hero brought his own sword up and deflected the energy blade into the air, before thrusting his sword at Master Chief.

The sword sizzled as it pierced the shields, weakening them but not destroying them completely.

The Hero grasped his blade in both hands as Master Chief brought his energy blade in for an overhand slash.

The Hero's sword burst forth with a brilliant array of magical energy as he dragged it through Master Chief's shields and intercepted the sword, knocking it into the air and off-balancing Master Chief.

As Master Chief brought his blade to bear, the Hero raised his sword and pointed it at Master Chief, lightning burst forth from it and launching Master Chief into the air, his shields sputtering and dying as he was flung into a wall.

His sword glowing with intense Magical Energy, the Hero charged forward, thrusting his blade into Master Chief's armored chest. The magic blade slid in with great ease, and Master Chief seemed to go limp as he withdrew it.

5th Match: Master Chief vs. the Hero

Victory: Hero

Two figures landed on a square floor surrounded in large, spiked blocks.

One was a massive gorilla with huge fists, brown fur, and a red necktie sporting the letters "DK" in yellow print.

The other was a thin man with blonde hair and pale skin. He wore a red and white surcoat over a black leather shirt and pants. He wore two tall black leather boots and one black and one white leather glove. In his right hand he carried a long whip.

"The next battle is between Donkey Kong and Leon Belmont! BEGIN!"

Almost immediately, the floor began moving.

Leon raised his whip and lashed at Donkey Kong, who grunted and raised his arm.

The whip curled around it, causing a fierce red welt to rise on Donkey Kong's arm, but not doing any great damage.

As Donkey Kong shuffled along the ground to avoid the spikes.

Donkey Kong seemed to scowl at the whip.

Snapping his hand, he threw Leon off-balance and began dragging him across the room on Leon's own whip as he shuffled forward, swinging him around and throwing him at one of the spikes.

Leon pulled his whip off of Donkey Kong and managed to right himself somewhat. Lashing his whip at a spike he was falling towards, he pulled it forward and landed on the ground.

As the spike began sliding across the floor Donkey Kong lifted it, grasping it by the spikes so that his hands were not pierced by it.

As Leon righted himself, holding on to a nearby spike that the ground was pushing him into, Donkey Kong hurled the spike at him.

Leon vaulted forward, narrowly dodging the spike and being pushed into the one he had been grasping.

The spikes punctured his back and caused him to scream in pain as Donkey Kong pounded the ground, causing the spikes to lift into the air before settling back onto the ground.

Leon screamed even more as the spikes drove deeper into his body, piercing his lung and lower back and emerging on the other side. As the spikes fell back to the ground, he was jostled and thrown off of them, landing in front of Donkey Kong.

As Donkey Kong prepared to jump into the air and land on Leon, the floor stopped moving.

"Donkey Kong is the winner!"

6th Match: Donkey Kong vs. Leon

Victory: Donkey Kong

The next match will be between Freedan and Yoshi. It will take place in Ipsen's Castle. Betting will close at midnight tomorrow.

Placing bet.

Two figures stepped into the hallway of Ipsen's Castle, their footsteps echoing throughout the massive structure.

One was a tall man with flowing blond hair dressed in dark blue plate mail. In his right hand he held a brown longsword, and he wore a flowing blue cape that billowed as he walked.

The other figure was a strange green creature that stood about as tall as a human. It had a short tail and a bulbous snout, as well as orange spines that ran down its back. It wore a saddle on its back and brown leather shoes, and its underbelly was white.

"The next battle is between Freedan and Yoshi! BEGIN!"

Yoshi jumped high into the air, flapping its arms in an effort to increase the height of its jump.

Freedan watched Yoshi warily, slowly backing away from the creature as it hurled through the air with surprising speed.

As it began to fall on Freedan, Yoshi twirled in the air and suddenly plummeted straght down.

Freedan jumped back, bringing his sword forward and clasping the hilt firmly in both hands.

As Yoshi hit the ground where Freedan had been standing moments before, he leapt to his feet and hurled a green and white-spotted egg at Freedan.

Freedan slashed at the egg, causing it to shatter, just as Yoshi hurled another one.

This one smacked Freedan right in the chest, exploding on impact and causing him to stagger backwards.

Grunting, Freedan brought his sword forward as red energy began pulsing around him.

Yoshi jumped into the air once more, flying swiftly towards Freedan and aiming an egg at him.

Freedan brought his sword back, placing his left hand over the crossguard.

"Dark Friar!" he hissed.

A burst of red energy hurled itself from Freedan's sword, slamming into Yoshi and blasting him backwards and onto the ground, stirring up a great cloud of dust.

As the dust cleared, Yoshi lay unconcious, his long red tongue lolling out of his mouth.

7th Match: Freedan vs. Yoshi

Victory: Freedan

The next match will be between Tidus and Viewtiful Joe. It will take place in Mount Gangazet. Betting will close at midnight tomorrow.

Oh yes, I'm not getting as much of an audience as I used to, and that's making me less and less motivated to keep doing these. If you want to see me continue to do these tournaments, try and get more active participants.

Confirming bet. This ones difficult to guess, wonder if Tidus will get the full sphere grid or just his basic skills.

I guess this is only cause this tournament isn't as interactive as the previous one, I think more people will join for the other ones.

Confirming bet.

Well, I can't/don't want to bet because I wanna be able to ask you about it and stuff, so... ;)
