Square Enix Grand Tournament

[Masamune·1600]

I guess I might as well participate in this. Assuming I start with 5000, I'll bet EVERYTHING on Orlandu.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

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.

[raskerino]

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.

[Necronopticous]

1,000,000

100,000 on Vincent.

[Masamune·1600]

10,000

4000 on Emeralda.

[Mercen-X]

866,512

125,488 on Emeralda

[Takara]

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?

[TurkSlayer]

12000

1500 on Mr. Valentine.

[Takara]

5250 on Vincent, here.

[strawberryman]

I think i'll try this out. Assuming I start with 5000 gil, I bet 1500 on Vincent.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

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.

[raskerino]

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.

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

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.
