Flying through the air with a yell, Justin hit the wall and slid down. He grits his teeth as he looks up at [url=https://www.deviantart.com/al3x-mty/art/171013-jl-713770973]his opponent with her fist out.[/url] She stood straight up and smiled as she taunted,

"And you said I couldn't be a hero! You said I didn't have what it takes!" Justin's opponent said as he climbed his way to his feet.

[color=cornflowerblue]"Look, Clementine, I didn't say you didn't have what it takes, What I [i]said[/i] was you need to stop going around Gold City beating up every criminal you come across!"[/color] Justin grabbed the side of his head and cracked his neck. 

"Oh... wait, I mixed you up with a diffe-" Clementine stopped herself as she said, "... Sergeant Haggar, just [i]what[/i] happened to you...?" 

Justin grits his teeth as he says, [color=cornflower]"This a fight or a polite conversation? We gonna fight or what, bub?"[/color] Justin sticks both hands behind him and shoots a blast of energy that launches him at Clementine - who leaped up into the air... and does a stomp downwards and lands directly on Justin, pinning him to the ground. Justin groaned - then stuck his hands out and used that same blast of energy he used to propel himself to get Clementine off of him. He sent her spiraling through the air as he launched himself up to his feet by shooting blasts of energy. Justin then jumped into the air with an uppercut that hit Clementine in her center of mass and then shouted.

[color=cornflowerblue]"... [b][i]SONIC BREAKER![/i][/b]"[/color] As his hands went faster than the eye could see, barraging Clementine with an assault of lightning-fast punches. He launched himself upwards again and shouted, [color=cornflowerblue]"... [b][i]"RECORD SPIN!"[/i][/b]"[/color] He spun so fast that he transformed into a blue tornado that barraged Clementine with so many attacks that she could barely take it. When he stopped, his right hand glowed blue as he shouted, [color=cornflowerblue]"... [b][i]"RHYTHEM HAMMER!"[/i][/b]"[/color] and punched Clementine into the ground with a blast of concussive force. 

Clementine hit the ground so hard that she bounced, but Justin wasn't finished. He stuck both of his hands out and they charged with a light that grew greater and greater Justin called the attack:

[sup][h1][color=black]   "CRESCENDO!"[/color]
[color=cornflowerblue] [i]"CRESCENDO!"[/i][/color][/h1][/sup]

A massive beam of blue energy came out of his hands and hammered Clementine for a few moments before it faded... leaving her a charred mess. Justin lands and hits the ground as he doesn't even face her. 

[i][b][h3]"JUUUUUUUUUUUUUSTIN HAGGAR TAKES THE WIN OVER CLEMENTINE THE SUPERZEROOOOOO!"[/h3][/b][/i]

[color=cornflowerblue]"Hmph,"[/color] Justin scoffed as he narrowed his eyes, [color=cornflowerblue]"I'm one step closer to you, Abel."[/color]

Humming a random song that she came up with, Oh-Seven leisurely skipped into the arena. Once she got to her spot, she put her hands behind her back and waved herself back and forth. As if she was dancing to an invisible song - as she waited for her opponent her eyes lit up as she activated scan-mode...

... Then it fell out of the sky, creating a cloud of dust that she had to cover her face. Scan mode allowed her to see through the dust, and it revealed her opponent. Oh-Seven couldn't help but tilt her head over to the left as she (very incredulously) said...

[color=cyan]"... It's a tank." [/color]

A literal, god-damn, [i]tank[/i].

[i][b][h3]"AUUUUUUUUUUUUUURI AUCLAIR VS. XMB91 AND IT'S CREW!"[/h3][/b][/i]

A man in armor popped out and stuck his fist up.

[color=cyan]"... You gotta be kidding me." [/color]

The first round of fights was completed, and the fighters that won were shunted back into the reception room with the stage.

[i][b][h3]"GOOOOOOOOOOOOD JOB FIGHTERS ON WINNING YOUR FIRST ROUND! THE NEXT BOUT OF FIGHTS WILL BEGIN SHORTLY BUT TAKE FIVE! EAT UP AND REFREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH!"[/h3][/b][/i]

Then the good times continued.

That fool was no match for the might of Hatanaka! 

The Hatanaka spawn silently gloated as she was led back into the reception room by the staff of this stupid tournament. She didn't know what that idiot Shayton was talking about - she made easy work of that fighter and she would be more than a match for that ninja! Wait... that just reminded her and the [i]second[/i] she made it back to the reception room she darted for the match-up board.

[code]JADEN RALDEN HAS BESTED KASUMI THE NINJA![/code]

That means the bastard is in here somewhere! Yoko jammed his staff into the ground as she looked around - there had to be [i]hundreds[/i] of different nomads in here. Well, Jaden wasn't gonna come to her; so Yoko turned on her heel and began walking around the room in hopes of finding him. However, Yoko didn't find that annoying ninja, instead, she found another annoyance! [url=https://i.imgur.com/5yRcWe8.jpg]That bastard that bumped into her[/url] when she was walking up the stairs to the tournament. He walked across the room like a robot of some type and stood in the corner and Yoko followed him. He didn't even react as Yoko approached and looked up at him ([color=gold][i]Damn are all the Nomads this big? [/i][/color]). 

[color=gold]"Oi! You bumped into me!"[/color] Yoko said but the bastard didn't even respond. [color=gold]"Can you hear me?!"[/color] 

Again, no response. This time Yoko used her stick to "gently" tap him over the head (Well, Yoko's version of that word still hit hard as a punch). 

[color=gold]"I'm talking to you!"[/color] Yoko gave him another whack that he just ignored. Before whacking him over the head again, and again, and again, and again...

... Until he suddenly reached out and grabbed the stick - stopping it with his hand- and lifted her by it and Yoko thrashed and resisted. 

[color=gold]"Oi! What is wrong with [i]you?![/i] Put me down!"[/color]

After that fight, Justin simply threw his hoodie back over his head and sauntered his way back over to the bar (he didn't see that Ninja asshole being annoying, so that was a plus). Justin quietly ordered a glass of vodka and placed it against his lips... to feel nothing. Justin sighed as he leaned back in his chair... not noticing the hand on his forearm. He turned his head to see Oh-Seven caressing his arm and his brow furrowed.

[color=cyan]"Are you okay, friend?"[/color] Oh-Seven asked.

Justin looked down at Oh-Seven's hand, and just sighed, [color=cornflowerblue]"... I'm good, pal."[/color]

[color=cyan]"Are you?"[/color] Oh-Seven asked. [color=cyan]"You seem distraught... like something is bothering you."[/color]

[color=cornflowerblue]"How about you tell me your name first?"[/color] Justin asked.

[color=cyan]"Oh, where are my manners?"[/color] Oh-Seven said in a sing-song voice as she stuck her hand out, [color=cyan]"I am Auri Auclair... and I just fought a tank. A literal tank."[/color]

Justin chuckled.

[color=cornflowerblue]"That's funny, I got a wannabe superhero,"[/color] Justin chuckled as he looked over his shoulder. [color=cornflowerblue]"Lotta weirdos in-..."[/color] Justin was cut off by a scene taking place right next to them.

"Ma'am calm down!"

[color=red]"You call this [i]crap[/i] Oni sake?!"[/color] The Oni slammed the bottle of sake that was covered with cartoony pictures of Onis with "ONI SAKE" written across it. [color=red]"Not only do you...[b][i] mock[/i][/b] my people with this bottle; this stuff tastes like warm piss! I couldn't get drunk off it even if I tried!"[/color]

"It's-it's just a bottle!" The bartender said as he snatched the bottle away. "How about this?! I'll get you a different drink al-altogether!"

[color=red]"Get me your strongest drink,"[/color] Aiko said as the bartender tried to pour her a glass of their strongest drink before she pulled it out of their hand and just downed the whole bottle in less than a minute. She loudly burped as she looked at the bartender. [color=red]"I said your [i]strongest.[/i]"[/color] She damn near growled.

"That [i]is[/i] our strongest."

[color=red]"I just downed all of it and I don't even get so much of a [i]buzz,[/i] is that too much to ask for?"[/color] Aiko started as she climbed up onto the table to face the bartender eye to eye. [color=red]"... You think because I'm [i]short[/i] I can't take a drink or two? Well, I'll have you know that just a [i]sip[/i] of [i]real[/i] Oni sake will put a human in the emergency room."[/color]

"I wasn't saying that at all, ma'am!" 

[color=red]"Then go get me a [i]real[/i] drink."[/color] 

"Right away, ma'am," The bartender said as he ran off to the back

[color=cornflowerblue]"... Well, ain't she something?"[/color]
