Chereads / Windwaker Odyssey / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Day 2

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Day 2

(A new day has begun, Zack gets up and begins his daily routine before getting into the game)

(Zack then boots his console and loads Windwaker Odyssey)

(Nightwalker spawns in the Ladensburg district)

Hmm looks like I'm in the Ladensburg district and there's quite some time before the tournament begins so this gives me the perfect chance to browse the equipment I'm currently lacking, it could possibly help me win this thing.

(Nightwalker spends some time looking at various stores, he then came around some equipment he found interesting including a cloning ring that can multiply it's wearer body up to three copies as well as spark boots that gave their wearer electric kicks as well as increasing their speed)

These items I got are quite interesting and they're probably gonna be a big help so I should take care of them. Woah look at the time, the tournament will be beginning soon, better hurry.

(Nightwalker began making his way to the tournament battleground )

(Upon reaching the his destination he once again went to the center of the battleground and awaited the tournament to commence)

(After a while the guild master Trojan appeared and began his announcement)

Hellooo everybody and welcome to day two of the tournament. Yesterday went crazy and we got to see some spectacular battles but enough dwelling on the past, now to is the time to focus on the present. Today there are eight players remaining from the battle royale, as I explained yesterday these eight will duke it out in one on one battles and the four that win will advance to the semi-finals. As for the eight contenders listen up carefully. Six ballet balls will be brought in each with a specific number ranging from one to three. The ballet balls will be placed in an enclosed box, they will be randomized within the box and afterwards players will come and pick up a random ball. The two players that pick up the same numbered ball will be each other opponents. The number on the ball also represents the placement of your fight, number one means you'll be fighting in the first round, number two the second round and number three the third round. You get the gist of it. So to all the players come get balls and let's get this shindig started.

(All the eight players came up one by one and began taking their balls. When it was Nightwalker's turn he placed his hand in the box and began fumbling the balls, he eventually picked one and when he looked at it, it had the number two on it)

Hmm number two huh looks like I'll be fighting in the second round. I wonder who I'll be fighting. I'm kinda hoping it's Black Blade, the I kick his butt the better.

(After the last player picks her ball Trojan continues his announcement)

Now that all the players have picked, let's get fighting. To the first round fighters you can take a short break whilst I set up the stage, you will be summoned once everything is ready and to the others you may go to the spectators grandstand whilst your turn.

(After the Trojan's announcement Black Blade and and an Archer by the name of Hikari head into the break area whilst the others head to the spectators grandstand)

Looks like that bastard is in the first round. By the looks of it that girl he's going to face is an elf, she seems to be carrying a bow makes sense elves are known for their long range so a bow is the perfect weapon. I'm kind of hoping that she'll kick his butt but if she does win I won't get the honor. Aw man this is a wierd conundrum.

(Nightwalker arrives in the grandstand he then seats himself next to one of the players)

{Yikes this guy is more mysterious looking than me and I'm wearing all black. That said he looks dangerous so I'd better watch out for him}

(After prepare the stage Trojan called in the first two competitors up)

(Black Blade and Hikari step into the ring they then head to opposite sides and begin taking their stances. Nightwalker watches them closely as they begin speaking)

Well well an elf girl what an interesting choice of character, too bad you're gonna take a huge loss today.

Hm you choose a dragonbourne race. It's no surprise that you're think so highly of yourself. The worst mistake you've made is underestimating elf race, my arrows will eat you up before you even get the chance to get close to me.

Is that so? Then put your money where your mouth is.

(Trojan then begins the battle)

(As soon as the battle began Black Blade rushed upon Hikari attempting to unleashed a flurry of attacks but Hikari quickly dodged and began distancing herself from him)

(When she was far enough she took out an arrow and began aiming once she locked on she released her arrow. Black Blade dodged her arrow but just as he thought he was safe the arrow began tracking him)

(Black Blade ran around trying to avoid the arrow. After a bit of running around he became angry, he then stood still and caught the arrow)

Are these the games you wanna your arrows mean nothing to me.

Oh yeah then why were you running away from it like a baby, I thought you dragonbourne types were supposed to unstoppable guess I was wrong.

Fine then. I was planning to give this attack to that useless prick but it seems like you deserve it more.

(Black Blade began charging up, his aura filled the entire ring there was a tremor of power emanating from him. He then prepared to attack Hikari but she easily dodged)

This is your grand attack, quite a lackluster attempt I mean are you even taking this seriously.

(Just as she said that, her HP began to drop suddenly)

Huh what happened?

What's wrong, your HP isn't looking too good. Where's all that gusto and bravado you were showcasing earlier.

What did you do to me? Tell me what you did to me!?

It's my aura you idiot, when I attack my opponent within my aura zone they are affected even if I miss, so there's no escaping this beating I'm about to unleashed.

(Black Blade starts unleashing a grand flurry of attacks each one affecting Hikari regardless of whether she dodges or not until eventually she falls to his might)

Hmph I hope now you know your place.

(After Hikari falls Trojan announces Black Blade as the winner afterwards he tells the next fighters to wait in the break area whilst he repairs the ring)

(After the battle Black Blade looked in the direction of Nightwalker and signaled that he would be next)

(Nightwalker looked at him back and instead of anger, determination shone in his eyes. He then got off his seat and prepared to head to into the break area to await his match)

Hmph you thinks you've intimidated me, you've only made me more determined. I guess it's time to see who my opponent is.

(When he arrives in the break area he sees a female player waiting, he then deduces that she will be his opponent)

{So this girl will be my opponent huh? By the looks of those wings I'm guessing she's a fairy. Wait a minute, don't fairies have high healing factor that means she might give me a lot of trouble. This is getting interesting}

Hey there, hello anyone home?

Huh, oh hey there. Have you been calling me, well sorry about that I was lost in my own thoughts.

Oh no biggie. By the way I'm Starfield , what's your name?

I'm Nightwalker nice to meet you. {She seems to be quite jolly}

Nice to meet you too. So it looks like you and me are gonna be in the ring. I don't know about you but I'm excited.

Exited huh, well I don't blame you. This is an epic match we're about to enter and something tells me you're no pushover.

Well you seem quite strong yourself but I guess we'll have to see what you're made of in the ring. I also wanna say no hard feelings to the loser right?

Oh definitely but just letting you know, I'll be the one on top.

Oh competitive, guess I'll also get into the spirit.

(Trojan then announces the next match to begin)

(Nightwalker and Starfield step onto the ring and take position. Trojan then begins the match)

(Starfield starts attacking Nightwalker with her staff, she starts unleashing a flurry of attacks but Nightwalker blocks them all)

{Dammit she went straight for the attack, her flurry of attacks is keeping me on the defensive. I need to change this quickly}

Sorry Nightwalker but I'm not gonna give you any space. You may have not seen me but I watched your fight in the battle royale yesterday. Taking five guys on by yourself is no easy feat so I know you're far too dangerous for me to let you attack.

So you were playing the fool in the break area, you already had an idea of what I was capable of. {Dang, there goes the element of surprise. Not gonna lie her jollyness makes her seem like she isn't much but she's actually really clever so I'd better watch out l}

Sorry not sorry. I'm winning this tournament and no one is getting in the way of that and besides I already called no hard feelings didn't I?

That's playing dirty but I'll play your game.

(Nightwalker aims for a low kick, after connecting he then distances himself from her. He then charges up energy into his sword and attacks. After getting up Starfield also goes for the attack)

(Their weapons begin clashing, their energy clash shakes the entire ring. Little bit little Nightwalker begins overpowering Starfield. He then lands a solid hit driving her back)

That tactic of yours was very effective, too bad I'm not the type to stay on the losing side forever.

Didn't think you were but like I said before I'm not losing today.

You're not the only one who wants to win. Quite frankly there's someone who's butt needs a good beating and the only way I can deliver and that's by winning here.

Heh then it looks like we both have something to fight for, guess that means I need to start giving my all.

(Starfield then activates a mysterious power but nothing happens. This leaves Nightwalker confused but he quickly gets rid of his confusion and attacks)

(Nightwalker's attack lands solidly but when he looks at Starfield's HP it quickly regenerates almost as if the attack had no effect)

What the!? What's going on here my attack should have damaged you.

Confused? Don't feel bad, your attack would've been very effective but my ability ensured that it wasn't.

Oh yeah. What's that ability of yours then?

Instant regeneration. No matter how much you attack my HP will always restore itself. Multiple attacks are useless as well because my HP regenerates faster than you can deal damage.

{This is quite the conundrum. Fairies were said to have amplified healing abilities but I didn't think I'd have to deal with it so soon. Well in that case the only way I'm gonna win this is by outsmarting her}

(The fight continues. Every damage that Nightwalker inflicts on Starfield is only regenerated in the next moment. Meanwhile Starfield is gaining the edge in the battle)

(After a while Nightwalker is now loosing MP and stamina)

{This is bad I'm going to lose if it carries on like this. Wait a minute this is a tournament right, and we are fighting in a ring so that means ring out should apply. Trojan didn't say anything about it but it's just just common sense. Welp I have my plan now but this is a pretty huge gamble, I hope this works}

(Nightwalker begins attack Starfield constantly in aims of antagonizing her. He succeeds in his goal, he then starts running and Starfield follows suit. After a bit of running he abruptly stops and faces her direction, he then waits for her attack)

{It's all or nothing now. Once at comes at me full speed I'll counter and throw her out of the ring, at this moment timing is key}

(Starfield charges towards Nightwalker with great speed. When she arrives at his location, Nightwalker grabs her arm to redirect her body and he throws her out of the ring)

(As Starfield lands on the grass, Trojan begins announcing)

RING OUT!! The winner is Nightwalker. I honestly didn't think anyone would use ring out so I didn't even bother explaining it in the rules but guess I was wrong, somebody was smart enough to use it.

(Nightwalker then heads to Starfield and reachs out his hand, she grabs it and gets up)

Is there still no hard feelings?

Yep I don't like holding grudges so no hard feelings. To be honest I thought I won that but I guess I underestimated how tactical you are.

I may have won but you did give me a run for my money not gonna lie.

Glad to hear. Anyways I think we should be friends.

No disagreement from me.

(Starfield sent Nightwalker a friend request and he accepted. Afterwards they both headed to the grandstand and await the coming match)

(After a while the next match was beginning. In the ring was a player who was a beastman, as well as the mysterious player Nightwalker sat beside while watching the first match)

(As Trojan signaled the match to begin the beastman wasted no time in attack. His strike was about to connect but in the next second his HP dropped to zero)

(Everyone was astonished as to what just happened including Nightwalker)

What the hell just happened. {Dammit I was right that mysterious dude is dangerous he defeated his opponent in a second}

(Trojan then announces the winner and after the match Nightwalker talks to Starfield)

Jeez Nightwalker did you see that!? That hooded dude took out the beastman like it was nothing and beastman are no pushovers

Yeah I saw it but I still don't believe, that guy is really dangerous, I hope I don't fight him tomorrow. Well looks like it's getting late so I should log out.

Wait aren't you gonna watch the final match?

Unfortunately not, I need to log out cause it's getting late but you can tell me what happens tomorrow.

Well that sucks but don't worry I'll be your personal information broker.

(Zack logs out of the game and switches off the console, he then goes to eat dinner and heads to bed)
