"Hey hey! We've got two new challengers!" A voice shouted from some loud speakers.

The source of it was a figure standing on a nearby makeshift stage. There were a lot of laptops surrounding them, and music blaring out of the loudspeakers on the platform. She was wearing loud clothes and headphones around her neck. It seemed like she was the MC for the night. The Midnight tournament had a few regulars on call for these kinds of things and they all tended to operate differently.

"Pencil 'em in, Jokey boy!" She said. Off to the side, there was normal looking guy with a cap, standing next to a roll out whiteboard like one you'd see in a classroom. The tournament brackets were written on it with whiteboard marker.

"They haven't payed up though, isn't that not allowed?" The guy said.

"Oh come on, Jokey! You really gotta suck the fun outta everything like that?!" The MC shouted over the music. "Just put 'em up! If they win, they don't pay!"

"You can't have two winners, dumbass." Jokey grumbled, but he proceeded to put them on the board.

He very clearly spelled the names wrong and put them in a really badly drawn square and linked them to the tree in front of where Danny was. It looked as if Danny had cleared the first round. In the other squares there were other combatants fighting as well.

"You've got some spirit on ya, huh?!" Danny said, grinning ear to ear.

He was ready in a boxer's stance. The last fight had gone on for a little bit, and he was coming in without rest. He didn't look tired, but time would tell.

"Come at me!" He said, rushing forward.
