The Titan of Wind continued to howl and pick up speed as the warriors kept up their counter. One even created a twister, even though it did not rival his size in any way. The cyclone of ice continued toward the Titan, flowing in an opposite direction than him. We all know what happens when two powerful opposing forces collide, yes?
A massive shockwave exploded in all directions, destroying the arena floor and removing the looming threat of the bullets that were flying towards him. The Wind Titan faltered and slowed, stunned. In a few short seconds, he was back to full force. Not only that, but the arena floor that was destroyed was picked up in the cyclone, causing more debris to be thrown across the entire area. That shockwave was bound to damage everyone or at least throw them off guard in time for the destroyed floor to fall on them. The Titan was enraged and was preparing to bring the hammer down.

Hayden bit back a curse as his ropes were cut apart by ice shards. He held up his arms to stop the ice from hitting his face before managing to grab a hold of one of the chunks of column flying around inside the twister. All this spinning was getting pointless. He braced himself against the chunk of rock and prepared to kick off and escape the outer ring of the twister when the ice tornado that someone else had made met with the Wind Titan and pretty much blew up the entire floor. The shockwave knocked Hayden outwards and to the foot of the bleachers as well, and he barely managed to enlarge his Ace of Swords to his height to cushion the fall. He reached for his major arcana, but just from touching the cards knew that both the Hanged Man and the Wheel were still too hot to use, so instead he moved the Ace in front of him and enlarged the Queen and King of Swords to the same size, using the two royal cards to bend the ace. "Someone get over here and jump on the Ace! I'll launch you up higher!" If anyone jumped onto the Ace, they would move the card enough to release it from the King and Queen, and fling them straight up. It could be useful to attack the Titan from above, and possibly bypass that outer eye wall that was stopping so many attacks.
TAROT CARD STATUS Ace, King, and Queen enlarged to the size of a Twin mattress. All Major Arcana available next post All other cards are still in Hayden's pocket.

Evil tastes the tears of fear! tearing down your helpless fate
Vanitas had pulled himself about halfway down the rope when he started feeling the ice shards pelting at him. He hadn’t been able to completely dodge the debris from the beginning, and it was any wonder that the people watching the tournement hadn’t gotten caught in the destruction. A wonder, but not something that worried Vanitas. If anything, it kept him going. The thought of the very Audience being knocked out by the chaos of their fighting, this was what Vanitas lived for. This was what Vanitas enjoyed doing more than anything. Pure Utter relentless CHAOS! Even as his rope had been caught Vanitas did not fear or faulter. He let himself get pulled back towards the tornado by the increasing winds and velocity, key blade summoned and ready to strike from the inside. So be it! If he was to be thrown like a rag doll, then he would punch, kick, and wing like one too!
That was when the explosion hit Vanitas square in the back.
Having let himself draw so close to the Twister, Vanitas hadn’t expected the sudden arrival of a second that would cause an explosive shockwave. He was flung outwards, his body-conforming armor keeping him barely stable as he hit the ground hard, a few bits of debris hitting him in the back as he rose from his position, pressing both hands to the dirt, raising up, then swinging a leg out to stand on it. He glanced over his shoulder, looking for where the fighters had disappeared. The dust was settling, but that girl with the lance seemed to have disappeared suddenly. Was the Tornado her or something? Who knew, but what Vanitas did know was that the destruction and chaos caused by that one maneuver had been so… perfect.
Crouching on the ground and kicking himself up, Vanitas turned to the Tornado and began laughing in excitement and enjoyment. This was all too much fun! All the destruction, the chaos, the pure energy of everything! He would simply have to make sure the damage had destroyed part of the coliseum as well (Though with the force of that shockwave, how could it not?) He heard the familiar voice of someone again, noting to turn and see the fighter that had once stood at the end, wielding large cards, and announcing for someone to step onto the Ace. It would launch them? Well… then Vanitas knew just what he was going to do.
Running to the man and his cards, Vanitas grinned beneath his mask as he leapt into the air as the Tornado was recovering and bringing up even more debris. He did a quick forward flip with a spin, landing on the ace card the man had prepared, glancing to him in that briefest of seconds before he would be launched, then felt himself become propelled into the air. He rose higher, higher, higher. Soon he was just above the Tornado, looking down, and far, far above. Falling down would hurt if he didn’t plan this correctly, but he had to make sure it worked. If he wanted the best destruction for the Tornado, he needed to make sure it was aimed properly.
Maneuvering himself in the air as best as Possible, Vanitas aimed his body downwards, parellel to the ground, and quickly summoned three crystals before him as he began descending. They quickly began spinning around him, projecting rays to the center of the three crystals, and then projected a large ray of dark energy into the Tornado itself. This Titan, and presumably the god who summoned it, wanted destruction and a bit of chaos. The spectators, those still unharmed by the barrage, wanted a show. Vanitas would give that and more |
[/b]. The force of the ray projecting downwards straight into the vortex of the tornados center actually served to propel Vanitas, it’s white and black ray projecting increased darkness due to Vanitas’ imbuded nature. After pushing him a few more yards into the sky upwards, the Ray finished, and Vanitas prepared round two. He Charged up his Keyblade with some of the darkened energy, and then slashed through the three crystals in one, wide, arc. With his direction pointed down upon the Wind Titan, the crystals, now crystalline shards of dark energy, would fling into the Tornado itself, damaging it as it traversed the very winds it lived in. The crystal shards would disappear soon after, preventing them from being added to the chaos of debris flying around. The Sheer destruction that would be caused by the ray and the crystal shards… it brought a smile to Vanitas face so sinister, it was probably a good thing he was hidden behind an opaque mask. He felt himself finally begin to slowly descend. The next few seconds would decide much, including how Vanitas got out of the very interesting predicament of falling headfist into a Tornado’s center.[/div][/td][/tr][/table] template by synchronicity [/center] =========================== Abilities: Dark Embuding - Vanitas empowers himself with Darkness, increasing his power [4 Post duration] [3/4] Dark Spiral - [2 Post Cooldown][½] Blizzaga - [3 Post cooldown][1/3] Dark Cannon - Vanitas forms three crystals before him which project a ray of dark energy [3 Post Cooldown] Last Word - Vanitas‘ limir.

The pure force of the explosive shockwave injured most of the combatants. Only a few remained, and as the debris continued to kick up, the Titan was about to make sure no one would stand again. Attacks continued to come at him, but before anything connected, the entire arena was suspended in time.
The Titan returned to a ball of energy and floated back to Hades. The Lord of the Dead stood up and applauded. Everyone in the arena would still be able to hear him, but they could not act at this time. Hades began to speak. -To be continued in Hades' post. Thanks for the Prelim! It was amazing. The next rounds will be just as amazing! Stay Tuned!-

The Lord of the Dead stood and applauded the combatants. He was quite impressed with how this battle turned out. "Now THAT is how you start a tournament, huh? Chaos and mayhem abound! Now we're going to keep things moving. In one hour's time, the names of those advancing will be posted in the waiting areas. This will include all four divisions and will show the Top Sixteen warriors!"
Cheers raised from the remaining crowd of the ruined stadium. Hades looked around and chuckled, saying, "Oh, and don't worry about the arena. You'll find it fully restored when the next round starts. Now then, first thing's first!" Hades twirled his arms a couple times and removed all the damage to the battlefield, leaving it torn and destroyed, but free from any hindrance. This way the combatants could leave the field safely. He spoke again, "For now, head back to the waiting area and take healthy swigs of the healing waters I've provided. Well, unless you want to go into round two weakened. Hey, that's your thing. The next round will start in two hours! I suggest you rest up and prepare. Until then!" The Lord of the Dead disappeared in a burst of flames and the gates opened to the waiting area, a few soldiers running toward the combatants to carry the wounded back to the healing waters.
-Thanks for the amazing round, everyone! I'll be posting the tournament bracket up shortly, so prepare yourselves. Round Two will start on Saturday and will run for two weeks. You will have time to contact your opponent and formulate a plan if you'd like, but one condition of the next rounds is they have to be as amazingly epic as these preliminaries were.-
