Thereon’s warning about not turning the city into a powder keg by recklessly going after G-Corp didn’t quite fall on deaf ears, but the kids weren’t exactly discouraged from that plan of action either. Apparently the four kings didn’t have an issue with turning their city into a keg with its fuse lit either, given that they put out an ultimatum and a reward for taking down the company, namely a meeting with them. Then again, given the lady standing with them, maybe they were all aware that blowing up the city would just give her, and them, more power to work with when the seekers came knocking.

[color=SpringGreen]”Is that bait? It's gotta be bait right? I mean. All of them? In one room. We don’t need to win all the tournaments in that case, just hunt down one guy! It's way too easy!”[/color] Jr said, stalking to and fro on the concrete embankment of a back ally [url=https://64.media.tumblr.com/93ff74661c7e248b2c5282655c8f5f06/ce6b8d8b90881cce-ed/s540x810/ea23662264ec5031a784e9a3ec3b6ff68d813010.gifv]canal[/url] that lay snug against the wall to the mid-teir. They’d head up to the pools at the same time as the others in order to watch a match rather than throwing themselves into either of their proposed options right away, which had turned out to be a smart move given the relevant announcement. 

[color=Aqua]”You know, except for fighting and anyone who wants to take the head for themselves first. Plus how do you even get the head if he turns to ash anyway? And then after we’ve gotta take them all at once, and that consul lady, at the same time”[/color] Rika pointed out. She wasn’t sure it wasn’t a trap too, but it was definitely a hard one to spring looking at it from where they were standing [color=Aqua]”So, like, maybe we just leave it to all the other people to deal with the problem for us? Maybe loot some stuff here n there and then head back to crack open a hollow?”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”Eh. Bet they’d all mess up anyway. These guys’ll all just go run at the problem one at a time and get their butts kicked for sure”[/color] Jr replied with a dismissive wave at the rest of the crowd here to watch the same match as them. Most of them simply lived or worked nearby and had decided to pause their days for five minuets for some light entertainment but it was the outsider, a muscular bearded fellow, who harumphed at this statement.

Jr plowed on regardless, saying [color=SpringGreen]”Besides, if it's all of us vs four of them that’s way better than four… uh…. Six of us vs four of them. Or six of them? Are that guy’s cats his triples partners or something?”[/color]

[color=Aqua]”Guess we could just go before the tournament’s over. Maybe. You know, if they’d let people who didn’t help come along. Especially once they see our not Galeeming eyes”[/color] Rika pointed out, before thinking and suggesting [color=Aqua]”So maybe, I dunno, we get a team? Like. People want to take these guys down anyway, maybe some of them don’t care about doing it legit. Like, we get a bunch of bad guys together, and then at the end we stab em all in the back like papa says and take the win for ourselves”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”Yeah! Wait. Why are we stabbing them at the end its not like they know how the guardian spirits work and, well,what else do we want from em?”[/color] 

Rika scratched the back of her neck with an oversized thumb and then shrugged, saying [color=Aqua]”I dunno, but, like, papa says they’ll try and do it to us, so we just have to do it first is all”[/color]

[color=SpringGreen]”Hmmm. I guess so… yeah! We could do that”[/color] 

They were interrupted when the bearded, muscular, gauntlet wearing man who’d harumphed earlier (and who had grown increasingly confused when he started listening in on their conversation) and who now said“Alright that’s enough make believe out of you two scamps! Pipe down, the fight’s about to start!” 

[url=https://i.imgur.com/WN9R3mE.png]Zeus[/url], god of thunder stared down the pair authoritatively, but it turned out to be hardly necessarily as the pair dropped the conversation at once to turn their focus to the plank arena before them at the meer mention the fight was about to start. Satisfied, the god turned his own focus back to the arena on which the fighter he, and some of the other Fight of Gods dojo members, were here to see compete in his first match. 

A moment later Zeus’s head snapped back at the pair of kids in surprise when, after a whisper of [color=SpringGreen]”Like I said, on three. One, two, three”[/color] from the tiny turtle, the pair erupted into a twinned shout of [color=SpringGreen]”GO PIT!!!!”[/color] [color=Aqua]”Go Pit!”[/color] directed towards the angel who’s match was just about to begin.

It turned out they were all here to see the same angel boy.

Zeus barked out with a laugh, before commenting “What funny friends little Pit has” before folding his arms and saying “Now then. Lets see how he does” while settling in to watch Pit’s opening performance.
