Let the Kingdom Duet Cup... BEGIN!

[Kadaj]

It was a glorious day! The sun was shining brightly, the air was warm and comfortable along with the breeze being gentle whenever it decided to grace the people of Olympus Coliseum with it's presence. Birds were singing, flowers were blooming and no matter what happened, the small goat-man was still frantically running about like mad trying to get everything ready for the new Tournament that had been announced. Civilians from this world and many others alike were flooding to the Coliseum upon hearing of a brand new Tournament starting up, their faces all lit up as well as much positive banter and gossip going about such as who they thought would compete and who'd they'd want to see win the final.
"Yeah!! I'm glad there's another Tournament!!!"
One young man said excitedly as he skipped merrily towards the entrance to the stands. A fellow male spectator following behind was laughing aloud, jogging to keep up with his excited friend.
"After Genesis Rhapsodos won the last Tournament, I wonder if he'll be back to defend his title?!"
"I'm not too sure... from what I hear, this is more a 'Tag Team' styled Tournament. Teams of two fight at the same time, so I'd assume a new title will be given to the winners of this... still, it'll be good if he does return to fight!!"
Both the men laughed excitedly as they vanished through a door towards the stands, were much noise and commotion was coming from, sounding as if the crowds were gathering in large numbers.

Meanwhile, else where in the Coliseum, a slender male with shoulder length silver hair and wearing black leather clothing, was stood holding a piece of paper within his hands, upon which were the names of the other teams competing and whom they'd be up against. His bright turquoise eyes looked the names over carefully, recognizing a few of them from past encounters. Raising his head up, the Remnant Leader known as Kadaj glanced towards his brother and smirked confidently at him as he tucked the paper away into his pocket.
"What do you think, brother? These 'Radiant Cavaliers' don't sound that tough, however I have seen Master Eraqus before in the fight for Kingdom Hearts. He's one of those Keybarers."
Kadaj said as he turned his head a fraction to look at Yazoo from the corner of his eye. It has been many a night since Kadaj was within the presence of his brother last, and it was saddening to know that Loz was still lost out there somewhere. He must have got distracted by a butterfly or something. It mattered not. Kadaj knew very well that his brother was safe and would return to him soon enough.

A moment passed and 'Wonder Boy' Hercules came walking from around the corner before waving towards the Remnants. After striding up to them both, Herc just smiled brightly at the two villains.
"Hey guys, long time no see. Hey listen, I'm real glad you both decided to enter the Tournament. Phil would agree too, but you know what he's like. I'm looking forward to watching your match. Go out there and give those people a good show, like real heroes would!"
Herc said rather excitedly as he raised an arm and pointing a finger to where he has came from, signaling that it was time to get things started. Kadaj just turned to Yazoo and gave a small shrug of his shoulders. Killing was not excepted in the Tournament so the Remnant Leader would have to restrain himself to stop himself and his brother from being disqualified.
"Shall we?"
The silver-haired youth said as he started to walk off to where Herc had come from. Not waiting for Yazoo, Kadaj vanished around the corner and headed towards the large set of double doors through which was the entrance to the arena itself. Heading through the smaller doors within, Kadaj emerged in the arena itself and smirked to himself as nostalgia set in. It had been a while since he was last here. Walking towards the raised fighting area, Kadaj stepped up as the crowds seemed to recognize him, chanting his name loudly and excitedly as the Remnant forced himself to raise a hand and wave towards his unsuspecting victims fans.

The teams currently resting in the sidelines as they waited for their cue to come out. Night could feel his heart racing, and the butterflies in his stomach. Though he had already done this once in the previous tournament just to get second place, he still didn't didn't feel comfortable with this whole crowd watching them fight. And what was really different was that this time it was a team effort. He look back to glance at his partner Master Eraqus. The elder man having suggested that this would be a good place to train, and hone his battle skills. He just hoped that he would do a good job and not hinder the Keyblade Master too much. And he just hopes these Remnant Renegades wouldn't be to much trouble to deal with. With a final gulp, Night just began to walk forward and out into the arean in his human form for now. Looking as scared now as he did the first time he entered the arena in the previous tournament. He almost found it hard to sallow he was so nervous as he walked onto the arena floor. Gulping as he looked at his older opponent slightly intimidated, though it helped that the guy had girly looking hair which was something he couldn't help but chuckle at. He could hear the crowd cheering for him as most seemed to recognize him from before, some cheering his name which made the young boy blush in embarrassment as he scratched the side of his head. But now it was time for the show to begin. Well at least once their partners arrived, Night would change his form then, for now it wasn't needed since the battle didn't officially start yet. ★ And i'm just wishing i can stop Words:310 ★ Tagged:---- ★ Notes: Template by Usagi of on the edge

[Yazoo]

Yazoo had been in a tournament a few times now and more times in the ring. Truly, he had not always fought tournaments, remembering having been on an unknown world he had been unable to find back. There he had fought Aqua, but was removed from the tournament during the first round already. The first time he had stood in the ring of Olympus Coliseum was against ‘Artemis’, also a Keybearer. After that it had been the Remnant Cup Tournament, a nice memory as it was named after them. He had ended in those finals, but lost against Lightning. Even having fought Kadaj there, but this time was different as he would fight alongside him now.

The last tournament here was one he hadn’t entered. While he was not in the ring, he had watched it a bit and seen Genesis... and his Copy. It had been an interesting sight. Thinking of all these things, Yazoo wondered how Keldric was doing. He had not seen the young Keybearer in quite a long time. Now he was standing next to his brother, who was looking over a scrap of paper that Yazoo had already looked over earlier.

There were some names that did make Yazoo think, he knew for certain that Zexion was the same Nobody of Organization XIII. He could even sense the Nobody, but he did not understand why Organization XIII had people enter a tournament. Didn’t matter. The other familiar names were Master Eraqus and Aqua. Eraqus had been there at the Kingdom Hearts raids, both first and last, but he had fought the man, somewhat, in the first. Maurelle was more dealing with him than he did. He had stood in the ring with Aqua before.

Both their presences, he could feel alongside ‘Artemis’ and the Keybearer that nearly got squashed under the Kraken. He didn’t have the last one’s name, so he didn’t know who he might be if he was on the list. The man was armoured, though. When Kadaj spoke to him, Yazoo looked at his brother, who seemed really confident as usual. Kadaj spoke of Master Eraqus, which made it certain that he had met the man in the second raid on Kingdom Hearts.

“Master Eraqus had been there, both raids on Kingdom Hearts,” he responded calm, “one heavily relying on the Light,” a light smirk came on his face as he thought. Their team name, Radiant Cavaliers, made him wonder if they were simply two overly Light using Keybearers. “Taking their name, they might be strongly Light-aligned. Like fireflies, they need to be squatted,” the idea of taken out their lights be crushing them amused the Remnant.

It didn’t take long before the ‘hero’ of this world came, Hercules. He had vanished in the Remnant Cup Tournament from what Yazoo remembered. He assumed the man simply went to deal with some Heartless or something and so ran off to ‘save the world’ and leave all the contestants. An easy win for whatever opponent he had that time. The man came over to give them a speech, apparently. Yazoo simply listened, ‘like real heroes would’? We shall give him, and the other people watching, a great show, he mused to himself.

After Hercules had pointed ahead, it seemed Kadaj wasn’t sure what to kiss of the man as he shrugged. He nodded in response to Kadaj and followed his brother as a playful smirk played on his face, he was going to enjoy himself here. An enjoyment he had missed for far too long. When he followed his brother onto the arena, the crowd appeared to recognise him as well. He had, after all, reached the finals in the big tournament a long time ago and they knew of their connection as brothers. Back when they fought, Yazoo suspected they were curious how we would take each other on, but this time together, he was sure they suspected them to give a great show.

At the other side of the arena, as Yazoo waved to the crowd, he felt the presence of the Keybearer that nearly got squashed under the Kraken and Master Eraqus. So that is Night, he assumed as the presence came onto the arena and Yazoo turned to face him. There was no recognition, but the armour of last time was missing. It didn’t matter to him, the armour would most likely appear during battle.

[OOC: Mèh! No muse... trying to get replies in. xD;; Btw, the scrollbar still does not want to work for me, so hard to read your posts like this, lol.]

[Master Eraqus]

Eraqus signed up for the tournament to see how citizens of other worlds progressed, perhaps to meet a few new Keybladers to recruit for the side of good. He had not signed up for the fame or a prize, nothing like that. The Master wasn't one to pick fights, but when he would do them he would give it his all. It was also a good place to test ones skills. The crowd around him didn't deter him, it was interesting that so many people were interested in watching people fight. Nevertheless, Eraqus was ready for what was to come. Night had signed up with him for the tournament, after all it was Eraqus' idea. If Night could progress at the tournament it would help him train.

It was then when he could see their opponents. Them.. Eraqus thought. Those two were attacking Kingdom Hearts on the side of Darkness. Perhaps their purpose here is somewhat different than a prize. Or they might just be here to participate. If so, I've somewhat seen their combat. It doesn't put us at any advantage, but it's good knowing a bit of your opponents abilities. In a flash of Light his Keyblade appeared in his hand, Eraqus was ready for battle.

(My muse is horrible for today, sorry XD).

[Kadaj]

Kadaj smirked as he kept his arm raised and continued to wave off out to the gathering crowds getting more and more eager to watch the matches begin. It felt nice, getting so much attention, being praised and having your name cheered by adoring fans. The same was happening for Yazoo. Of course it was, Kadaj's brother reached the final in his own Tournament back in the past. Shame he lost to the pink haired woman though, but mistakes happened. Not this time though. Kadaj had victory in his sights and wasn't going to let some mere pathetic Keybarer and his tag-a-long to spoil the fun. Oh no! This time, the Remnants were going to claim victory and have word spread throughout the worlds that the spawn of Sephiroth were still forces to be reckoned with. Damn Organization XIII and the Heartless Horsemen. If Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo were left unchecked, then the Light would regret it!

A wicked smirk spread across the Remnant Leader's lips as he heard the words spoken by his brother. Indeed, it pleased him greatly that his brother felt the same way about the Light and seeked to end them just as badly as Kadaj himself did. Maybe they ought to go terrorize a world after they were done here... perhaps even provoke the Radiant Cavaliers to pursue them. Watching as their opponents arrived in the arena, Kadaj just let out a disappointed laugh and peered over his shoulder to his brother, his bright turquoise eyes glowing through the silver strands of hair that covered his eyes.
"You're right Brother... these two do seem to rely heavily upon the Light... pity that this is a Tournament... I'd enjoy nothing more then to slowly squeeze the life out of them both."
Kadaj said rather darkly, reaching back with his left arm behind himself, taking hold of the handle of his Souba. With a quickly flash of light, the sun reflecting off the polished Souba blades, Kadaj drew his weapon and span it around his hand a couple times before catching the blade in a reverse hand grip, holding the weapon behind himself.

Mako infused eyes flicked between the two Keybarers as he watched them ready themselves. The younger boy seemed terrified about something, perhaps this whole experience of fighting before a large crowd was new to him? Kadaj tilted his head a fraction and smirked darkly at the kid when he made eye contact. Watching as the boy laughed at something, Kadaj gritted his teeth together and felt his anger start to rise. Though he wasn't sure what he was laughing at, the Remnant Leader started to get a massive urge to show this kid the true meaning of pain. However, his eyes then flicked to Master Eraqus when he summoned his Keyblade. This older man seemed a lot more experienced. He appeared determined and battle ready, even the crowds weren't making him falter either. Taking a chance to peer back at Yazoo, the silver-haired youth wondered if his longer-haired brother had what it took to take on the older Keybarer... then again this was a Dual Cup tournament... teamwork was going to be essential for victory... but then again, just because their opponents had Keyblades, didn't mean they were any good at using them.

Turning to face Yazoo fully, Kadaj smirked once more as he raised his Souba up before himself and ran a gloved finger down one of the flat edges before eying Yazoo darkly.
"Show me how much you've improved, brother..."
An instant after he finished speaking, Kadaj suddenly vanished as a large cluster of black angel feathers engulfed his figure. A breeze quickly blew the feathers away to reveal the silver-haired youth had vanished completely. On the sidelines, Phil seemed panicked as he quickly motioned for the barriers around the arena to be erected and swiftly they were activated. A moment later and another cluster of black feathers appeared a short distance behind the younger Keybarer, the first thing to emerge from them was a twin-bladed katana being swung down with great force towards the top of Night's skull. Kadaj emerged himself shortly with a vicious smirk spread across his face, the feathers being blown away to reveal he'd teleported using One Winged Angel Teleportation and wasted no time in getting this match started!

[ lames the scrolling one not working I really liked that one *going to have to think of another soon* >[ *kiciks muse* start fragging working! ]

Night just looked over as the other opponent came to the stage following the first. Seeing the long hair he thought it was a girl, well seemed like it to him anyways. Night looking over to his partner lightly as Eraqus followed him. Night feeling a little less nervous with the keymaster by his side. 'Alright I can do this,' he thought to himself with a gulp as he watched his opponent draw his blade. A bit of a surprised look on his face when he did so. Not because of anything he did, but rather what he said, "You're brothers?"< he couldn't help but blurt out, one of his few doing before thinking moments. But really who would had expected that? But seeing how everyone else was getting ready Night knew he had to as well. He extended his arm to his side, the bracelet on his wrist glowing as his body was engulfed in light. Soon his body grown, with armor on him, as a keyblade was in hand. All those nerves from before gone from his eyes, and more of a determined look in his place. Night needed to prove to himself that his lighter side wasn't as weak as the two from before claimed it to be.

He readied himself for battle as he watched them, slightly surprised as the short haired one disappeared. 'Where!?' he thought, though his sense of smell quickly picked him up as he turned watching as he was abotu to strike, the young keyblader quickly jumping back to avoid the what would have been a painful blow. He glared into the eyes of his attacker, fighting with him didn't feel like the fun game this was suppose to be. No it felt serious, so one thing Night realized that he was going to need to be more careful. With a howl the young keyblade dashed forward, slashing at the other with a simple three-slash combo to his torso, before jumping back once more to slash his blade in mid-air to send a blade of light at him.

NOTES

[Yazoo]

Yazoo had quite enough of the time he had been gathering information and picking ‘sides’ to learn. In the time he attempted to figure out how he and his brothers could have returned, he had gotten little and wondered what use it would be. He had suspected to make use of it to bring back others in their service, perhaps. Or counter it... to get rid of people like Sephiroth. It had been an amusing idea, to find the reason by the strange fall of balance, but now the worlds were plunged in chaos with the Heartless, it seemed his research only gave problems.

In his mind, he didn’t think he could be acting on his own. He had always followed and since his return, he had to act on his own. Taking hints from others had only given him the wrong direction. The Remnants had come together again for a few times now, but the three were truly at best together. Yazoo had seen and learned much about Organization XIII and the Heartless Horsemen. He still planned to take down Maurelle himself, the woman that had brought him in a lot of mess. While the Light concentrated more on the Heartless, the three Remnants seemed to go as they pleased, but recently all the Dark forces have had many counters.

It was only a matter of time until they would show the worlds that they should not mistake the Remnants for some lesser group of villains. Just as their current two opponents, they would all see despair. His smirk became brighter as he listened to Kadaj, his hands held good hold on the guns as he watched his brother take out his weapon.

As a gun-wielder, it was usually expected to see him at long range, but Yazoo had always shown to be quite able to fight at the front. Currently, however, he saw no reason to jump forward and fight, but thought of seeing if he could lure them in his direction by giving Kadaj support.

Looking over the old man, who summoned his Keyblade and followed by the boy, Night, with a full armor. Just like at the raid, Yazoo thought as he looked the boy over, but didn’t bother to think much about it. The boy did throw in a remark after Kadaj wanted Yazoo to show his improvement. While he had been fighting again after his time as more of a ‘researcher’, he had raided many worlds.

When Kadaj vanished and reappeared behind Night, Yazoo quickly aimed and shot at Night’s head after he had turned and jumped backwards, which was towards him. The boy did start attacking, so he released several more bullets while gathering flames in his other hand. He continued to point at the old man, Eraqus, as well and released more bullets.

Throwing up his arm with flames, the flames spun around his arm. Then with a downward movement he released wave of fire at the two Keybladers. The long-haired brother was certain his brother wouldn’t be hit by the wave as he tried to burn the two Keybladers in a single wave.

Only the top little bit of the scrollbar appears to work for me. It really acts awkwardly. o.o; You can still use it, I can just copy the post and paste it in Word if I have to (so when it doesn't work at all for me).

Still no muse btw... -goes see if he can get ACC- Why didn't it ever get released in my country?

Eraqus has not posted for over 72 hours nor did he ask for an extension. That being noted, the Radiant Cavaliers team is disqualified and Eraqus will not be allowed entry in the next tournament. Keep your eyes open for the next fight which should start soon.
