((Tournament Rules can be found here: Click for Rules!)) The roaring of the crowd was deafening! Every single seat was filled up and the entire audience were cheering and clapping for the Tournament to officially begin! Banners with all the competitors names, were being waved around, balloons were being let loose up into the sky and the sun was shining down brilliantly, giving excellent visual conditions and brightening the moods of every single person in the arena! A small, goat-like man made his way out into the center of the raised fighting area, in the middle of the arena, and with a small cone-like megaphone, called out to the ever-more excited crowd! "Ladies and gentleman! Welcome, to the latest Tournament in the Olympus Coliseum!!"Phil's goat-like voice echoed around the Arena, as he turned around slowly in circles, so everyone could hear him. "We have 16, brave and powerful warriors, both of the Light and the Darkness competing here today, for the prize of Champion of the Remnant Cup Tournament!"Phil said, turning around some more, using his free hand to wave about before him as he spoke. "Let us waste no more time, and allow me to introduce the fourth match or Round 1! Please, welcome to the arena, the third member of the Remnant's, the cool, the calm, the confident, brother of Loz and Kadaj, the mighty, YAZOO!!!"The crowd yelled and cheered loudly, the girls screaming and swooning and the men, encouraging their favourite contestant on! "And his opponent, our only Keyblader entering this Tournament, he comes from a far away land, his cute and small appearance hides a powerful and determined fighter, please welcome, KELDRIC!!!"And with that done, Phil bowed to the audience and quickly scurried out the ring, allowing each contestant to enter as they like, before the match officially begun!!

The Remnant Cup Tournament, only the name felt quite different to Yazoo. He hadn't expected his brother to start a tournament. He had read about other tournaments from the boards. The Phil Cup Tournament, Pegasus Cup, Hercules Cup, Hades Cup, and now Remnant Cup. It was something he definitely had to join in with. Also, he needed some real fights. He had fought many Heartless so far, but little real enemies. Unless his 'battle' with Silv would count, but it was more him defending and trying to do other stuff. He didn't had any reason to fight her back then. Therefor he had been to the Colisseum before, fighting against a Keyblader named Selena. Now it was against another Keyblader, he heard, and not just one. The one he had been considering a bit like a 'friend', Keldric.
Yazoo walked up towards the arena as his name was called. He had both guns with him, but when entering the arena, he didn't expect the need to carry them in his hands yet. Around him, the people were rather loud, it was amusing to see people cheer and yell for him among them. He had done bad deeds in the past, but had been working with many sides recently. His true side was with the Remnants, and that would never change.
As the Remnant walked up the arena, his face had taken a calm smirk and he looked over at the other side to see his opponent. Yet, he figured he never really had known the Keyblader that well yet. From the times he had met him, the Keyblader had learned much more about him than that Yazoo had ever found out about Keldric. His first meeting with the Keyblader had been possible to end with a fight between the two, but Naminé had corrected that and now they would battle anyway. Yazoo remained entirely calm and waited for the battle to officially start.

Keldric looked up as his name was called, mouthing the words that the satyr had spoken about them. "Cute? Small? Hey! That wasn't part of the deal!" he muttered to himself disappointingly, but smoothed his lips into a smile as the sunlight shone upon him as he stepped into the arena. He looked into the crowd that was there, and saw a lot of banners that had the words 'Yazoo' plastered on them. He didn't see anything about his own name, thought, and knew from the get-go that he was the underdog in this match, nay, perhaps the entire tournament. No-one would be cheering for him - not unless there was one girl in the crowd who was wearing all white.
He then looked slowly across slowly from the crowd to his opponent - Yazoo. The silver-haired man had been both a friend and a enigma to him throughout his journey. Only recently he had found out he was what he called a 'Remnant', the namesake of this Cup, and that he and his brothers were fragments of a man known as 'Sephiroth'. Keldric had never heard of this man before, but had heard he was one of the competitors in the tournament. It didn't matter to him if Yazoo was a Remnant, a Nobody or anything like that, he was still a friend, and he would treat him respectfully as such in this match today.
But that didn't mean he would not go easy on him. He nodded and strode towards Yazoo, holding out an extended hand in a sportsman-like manner. "May the best man win." he spoke in a confident yet kind tone, waiting for Yazoo to return the understanding mutally by shaking it before they took to their corners. He had observed Yazoo in battle with his guns, and even had learned how to do some spells from watching him, and didn't look forward to the idea of them being used on him. But at the least, this had given him a chance of what to expect from him, and maybe that would give him the edge he needed to survive the outcome of this battle today.

Yazoo showed a bit of a smile at the sight of Keldric coming his way. The remnant moved towards the Keyblader as well and shook his friend's extended hand. "Best of luck... in this tournament." He told him calmly. He could hear the crowd cheer. This would definitely be a great fight. Especially against him, he hoped Keldric wouldn't hold back. The two knew each other and had each other seen fight, so the outcome was one that interested the silver-haired man well. He was planning to start a little slow, but with a trick behind it. He was certain that even Keldric wouldn't expect it.
When they had shaken hands, Yazoo turned back to his corner and went back. Their fight would begin in a moment. The remnant's hand was ready to move to his gun and start some shooting. He was still a little surprised that he was going up against one he knew, but then again. He knew quite a lot during this tournament. His brothers Kadaj, Zack, Sephiroth and Cloud, the Nobody Zexion and the strange Riku. But also Silv was in the tournament, and then there was that mysterious Lightning. Out of the sixteen people he knew nine. The name Saïx was also on the list, 'x', so he expected a Nobody and one of the presences he had felt was familiar, which could be that the Nobody that appeared twice to him was Saïx. With him it would be ten.
At his corner he turned around to face Keldric once more, but this time to start the combat as he heard the sound of it starting. He reached with one hand to his gun and pulled it out in an instant. He left his right hand empty and by his side while he shot two bullets towards the Keyblader. He kept his aim towards him, but didn't shoot more or move towards him. There were some tricks he had planned for this and hoped to make good use of them. During his time before the match he had been thinking how the people he knew fought and figuring out some tricks he could use against them. A smirk flashed on Yazoo's face. He was playful when it came to combat. Apparently a trait he received from Sephiroth.

The blonde keyblader shook hands firmly with Yazoo, and then backed away slowly to the side of the area he came from. He kept his eye on him not because he didn't trust him, but to look for facial expressions and body language of his friend to give him that split-second advantage he might need which could mean the difference between victory or defeat. Such movements of the body included a scowl or a furrow in the eyebrows indicating they were about to go aggressive, or the movement in hands to reach for a weapon or use a spell. And in this case, he knew Yazoo had both. Finishing taking steps backward and once a good distance away from his opponent, Keldric stopped, and paced his legs apart to prepare himself metally and physically for the battle.
The roar of the crowd came up again in anticipation of this battle, and as Keldric prepared for the sign for the battle to begin, he threw his right hand beside him and engulfed in a mixture of darkness and light, he summoned his keyblade. The Sacred Dusk keyblade glittered golden in the sunlight shining from above, from it's hilt to the dark ebony tip of the blade. Keldric knew that Yazoo knew he was a keyblade wielder, so there was no hiding this fact, and he was not afraid to show it. He was fairly sure Yazoo knew most if not all of his spells, maybe even some of his abilities, but there was one thing he knew that Yazoo did not - his own way of thinking that it was how he used his abilities, not the abilities themselves, that was unique to him only.
He wielded the keyblade in his right hand, and brought it up above his head pointed at Yazoo in a one-handed style, his other hand held out in front of him for balance. Once he had done this, the battle had started, and before the twilight keyblader knew it two bullet had been shot at him. He stepped forward quickly and judged the timing so he could deflect the bullets one at a time, striking down one of the bullets with his keyblade, but misjudged the timing with the second and felt it graze into the side of his abdomen. He grunted, teeth gritted, and thrust his left hand out forward at Yazoo in retliation with a large fireball in the form of a Fira spell. Best to start out with what each other knew for starters, and save the surprises for later, when he really needed it.

Yazoo watched what his bullets did and gathered some magic in his empty hand. His gun was still aimed at Keldric as he started to move forward, not running, but simply walking slowly towards his opponent and friend. One of the bullet was able to cause a little damage, but not much. The remnant wasn't really expecting any damage, but hoped to see more of how Keldric would work at the start. The young keyblader had withdrawn his keyblade right at the start, something he didn't see all that much with all the keybladers, but then again, he knew of Keldric's keyblade.
The remnant could very well remember the time that that keyblade was pointed right at him when the 'knight' protected his 'princess'. The time from Halloween Town, when he met the two, Keldric and Naminé, was a moment that wasn't easily to forget. Nor really did he want to forget it, except for the part where he fell out of the air and hung upside-down with strings on his hands and feet. Or the time he waisted his energy for the first time and was getting almost taken by the Heartless.
This time the pointing of the keyblade at him was definitely to strike at him. Yazoo smirked as he saw his friend sent out a fire spell. He had seen it happen before, he was prepared as his empty hand glew up and he shifted quickly on his left foot and threw his right hand forward to throw out an explosive spell. The spell clashed against the fira spell, causing a blazing explosion between the two. With the smoke that the explosion caused, Yazoo jumped gentle upwards and spinned a bit as he pointed over the place that the explosion happened at Keldric that stood at the other side. Four more bullets soared out of his guns with bangs at the keyblader.

As soon as he sent out the Fira spell, Keldric was already up an running towards his opponent, to get into where it would hurt Yazoo at close range. He knew Yazoo would be expecting it, and not only wanted his friend to think that he wasn't expecting this, but he wanted to see how Yazoo could handle what he had in store for him. He watched as suddenly Yazoo sent out an explosive spell to deflect the attack, which in itself created a fiery explosion. The explosion created a veil of smoke, which gave both of them an advantage to make a surprise attack on the other. It would simply depend on who would act first, and Keldric knew that he needed to defend himself before he could attack in case he was the slower one.
Quickly he shot out from his left hand a Blizzara spell, which in this stage did not form a projectile, but rather a thick sheet of an ice wall a few paces in front of Keldric. It frosted up and formed a barrier between himself and where he had last seen Yazoo, and sure enough, Keldric heard gunfire from above followed by the sound of shattering ice as the bullets broke through. The wall itself shattered away, and one would think Keldric had created a poor fragile shield to protect himself with. But not so, as the shield had another side affect with it's element. It also froze upon impact as well as shattering.
Within a matter of seconds, as Keldric finally reached the wall in that short time, the four bullets Yazoo shot out were frozen instantaneously in thin air into thick blocks of ice. Before the magic wore off and gravity reclaimed the frozen blocks by pulling them to earth, thanks to the directory of where Yazoo had shot him from, Keldric was already jumping and using the blocks as momentary stepping stones to leap up to where the gunman was hiding in the smoke. Pushing off from the fourth and final block, the smog was thin and clearing enough he could see the platinum man, and by the time he could see him in return, the momentum of the whole event that had happened with the span of a few seconds would already make it too late. Keldric swung forward his keyblade at Yazoo at striking distance, aiming for the silver hair's waist in a slashing motion. A small smug smile crossed his lips, in disbelief but satisfied he he had been able to pull off his near-impossible feat as he attempted to land his blow.

Yazoo was rather surprised to see Keldric form a barrier. It was a spell he hadn't seen from the keyblader before. It didn't really change his mood about the battle. It was nice to fight again after his alliances with all sides. Ever since his battles had been very low and he could rarely fight someone. He wondered if he should return there more and smirked a bit as he watched Keldric from the skies. His bullets did damage to the barrier, shattering it. Though, it seeming to break the barrier, it seemed to have frozen his bullets as well. The remnant was glad to see many surprises his friend had in store for him.
The silver-haired man went down into the smoke of the earlier explosion, which was already starting to clear again, but would hide him for a moment and he was certain the Keyblader would come in after him, unless Keldric planned to concentrate on spells during this battle. The keyblader did come, Yazoo didn't even had to reach the ground as the blond boy suddenly appeared and made his move. Quickly he moved his gun to block the keyblade and used the strength behind the slash to push himself back into the air and above the smoke again.
Down him he couldn't see Keldric anymore, but as the Keyblader was in the air with him only short moments ago, he believed him to be in the same position and shot more bullets downward into the smoke as a rain of metal before letting his arm glow and sent out another explosion spell straight down for another blast inside the smoke. It would possibly clear the smoke, or create only more if Keldric would counter it.
