"Whoa, whoa, Sion, what are you doing? You trying to pick a fight before the arena contest has even started?!" Deblis late to the conversation stood between Franes and him. 'He must have sensed me when I let out my aura all of a sudden.' Sion thought as a slight quiet 'heh' was heard in his mind. '02?'
Of course Deblis was concern it was in Sion's nature now to pick fights, oddly enough picking fights actually calmed him. He started to understand the twins more from his past, not that he forgave them.
During Sion and Deblis's back and forth banter it was only then that Franes suddenly squealed?!
"It's so cute!" With almost sparkles in her eyes she jumped Deblis like he was a cat on the run from home.
-arck- "W-woman- get. Off. Me." Sion looking at the scene before him couldn't help but to compare her actions to that of a child hugging a plush toy. Even if that plush toy was in fact a grandpa panda from the multi-dimension.
"Who are you!? Why have I never seen you before!?" Playing with his fluffy ears and silky white beard that looked so neat she came to a realisation. "Hold up…" sitting up straddling poor Deblis she knitted her brows in confusion. 'There's no pandas on the Chinese zodiac' her thoughts however were abruptly ended as her plushie made a grand escape as Sion had to give him a wicked grin.
"You could have gotten out of that at anytime" Deblis feeling a chill looked at Sion with his paws up.
"Hey now, we're all friends here-"
"You're from the multi-dimensional portals right? Another universe that intertwines with us." Hearing Franes's question Deblis made a break for it and hastily answered her.
"That is correct ma'am, I come from sector 112 a world called Murb, it was a world where normal animals that you're ancestors would have in zoos were before the light purge. Not saying you don't have zoos now- *cough* Anyway, your sector/world is, 215, as it stands I've currently been here for 4 days my time"
"interesting" looking at Deblis like he was apart of a zoo exhibition a sudden massive grandfather clock sound shook the arena. Everyone that was once chatting and enjoying themselves seemed to become dull and set back on reality as the God and more sat above to watch the first match.
"I am back everyone! Now, to get this show on the road, I want contestants, Reacher Paye & Morrish Lin to take to the stage!"

'Geezus… it's like they want us to die'
>>> You won't need to worry about dying, you've accumulated quite a bit of Currency Coins from earlier quests <<<
'02?' Confused as to why 02 had sudden spoke considering he hadn't turned her on. Why was 02 now speaking on their own account?!

'Where the hell did I accumulate so much from!?' There was only 5 minutes for betting as Deblis and him sat down. Franes had to stay posted as a representative of LionPavilion so she was automatically given VIP seats within the arena.
"Is something wrong Sion?" Deblis questioned as Sion hovered over the screen to vote.
"I'm not sure who to vote on, there's no sure way to know who's stronger by just stats alone."
Smiling a big grin, Deblis answered, "exactly why they call it a bet. You see unlike rigged competitions people like to do, knowing the outcomes or statistics. This arena is based on gambling and luck. Or should I say insight" as if catching on, Sion took a look at the two contestants now standing on opposite ends.
if 02 was active, could it mean that the situation called for them to be present, just like when he's close to death?
'02, can you scan them both?'

'Holy shit, that's crazy over powered. Skills that allow you to see the path of one's attacks and a follow up skill to enhance it?' Sion looking at his betting screen decided to place his bet on the obvious choice.
"Well that chicken is about to cluck" hearing Franes's voice behind him he could only silently agree. 'Hang on… wasn't that the guy who was making a seen at her guilds booth?' Looking at her now her could seen the devil even if the real ones were up in the sky. How did he come to know her again? Oh right… he needed money.
"So how much did you bet?" Deblis asked as Sion's bet window disappeared and 1 minute remained.
"About 20,000,000 CC, I didn't think multiplying would be needed but I did multiple x 2, so 40,000,000 CC" As if his world had just died Deblis turned into stone and for Franes her once joyful devil like tone also dimmed as she too turned to stone. "Did I make a mistake?" Thinking he may of bet too little he saw the timer go down to 30 secs.
Suddenly both Deblis and Franes shouted "How did you earn that much!!?" Both of them were shaken, who the hell had that much Currency Coins at their disposal!? Deblis had saved for years and only ever had 10k as his highest savings. But Sion had 40bilion to just waste!?
"You brat, you didn't lie on the bets to take part in death matches did you?" Although it had crossed his mind, seeing how much he had in Currency and the fact 02 was now able to give more detailed scans due to his persistence in Murb. He didn't need it, not to mention, he was 12th on the contestant list. He didn't have long to wait.
"I did some quests here and there" Sion responded, 'yeah, quests were I'd be shocked like you wouldn't believe'.

[MATCH START]
As if on queue, immediately the two engaged violently, whereas one was sprouting feathers and sharp claws, the other had iron fists equipped.
for such a bulky individual one wouldn't think Morrish Lin would keep up and even become faster than a rooster.
Twisting and turning each hit one another formidably and fast. Agility was natural for the Chinese zodiac rooster so obtaining a skill to enhance it was hard. That's why stamina comes into play and Reacher Page's stamina was a solid 51. Getting skill points wasn't just limited to levelling up, that much was clear with the inconsistency in stats. Not that anyone really cared for that information as the yelled and cheers, some even begging and praying that their bet won.
