Tournament grounds
King Raymond
Loyd walks to the Centre. The commander of the tank division stops him by holding his hand up in the air.
"General Kaijuu, if I may."
General Kaijuu was walking to his starting position. He then turns to face him as he steps into the ring.
He's twice the height of General Kaijuu. The commander of the tank division's name is Shirley Moonwood. Yes he's a guy. His Level is 328, the reason he's not the general is because, well.. in a word he is stupid, he can't command for shit his entire division is made up of muscleheads.
If it wasn't for his mild mannered vice commander Phillip Surges, they would dive head first into every skirmish we've ever had in the past.
Shirley takes a knee and lowers his head. General Kaijuu takes a step back in surprise.
"My General, If it please you may I request a hand to hand bout?"
General Kaijuu collects himself. He then clears his throat to the side then speaks
"No weapons"
"Please, if you would be so kind."
"Okay"
They start walking to the center.
Shirley gestures to the crowd to close the distance, the other commanders that haven't given up enter the ring, Roka and Felmina go past me and also enter. we all form a massive circle around them.
The new ring is about 25 meters in diameter, the people in front including me Roka and Felmina sit down, those behind us take a knee. There's about a crowd of a 1000 here, hopefully we can all see.
Loyd makes his way to the center. He doesn't need the megaphone right now.
"The challenger, commander of the tank division Sir Shirley Moonwood"
The crowd goes wild, the 2 of them take their places about 5 meters apart.
"START!!"
They both just stand there. Then an even more intense red glow comes from General Kaijuu, he steps forward breaking the concrete tiles as he approaches Shirley. Shirley has this smile on his face as he readies his stance.
He takes a swing.
It's a hook.
General Kaijuu steps back grabs his arm.
Then turns throwing this huge guy over his shoulder.
The ground beneath Shirley cracks. The impact sends shockwaves.
We can feel the impact on the ground through the floor.
"Gah!"
Shirley quickly gets up and charges.
General Ryu's red aura fades he's dodging a storm of blows.
Shirley starts to get winded.
General Kaijuu seems fine.
Then the Intense red aura as before returns.
He starts running at Shirley and jumps.
He's doing a superman punch.
I've only ever heard about it. Is he seriously doing it in live combat WHAT!
"Block this."
Shirley crosses his arms in front of his face.
The first blow lands.
Then another and another.
General Kaijuu pushes Shirley back like 10 meters with this barrage.
That's when Shirley collapses to one knee.
His legs are shaking as he tries to stand.
He drops his guard.
General Kaijuu comes walking up slowly looking him straight in the eyes as he pulls back his fist.
"I give up."
General Kaijuu lowers his hand and reaches out.
Shirley looks at it in surprise
"Good Match."
Shirley goes to take his hand but feints and falls forward instead.
The crowd goes wild, my ears go deaf from Roka and Felmina's high pitched screams.
I have to cover my ears damn.
The commander of the covert corps also gives up. Then the commander of the magician corps suggests a match.
He drew a line about 3 meters from him on our side. General Kaijuu is on the far side again.
If General Kaijuu makes it past the line he wins.
It basically goes the same as the match with Archer except for the last rock cannon that Mike Turner shoots out.
General Kaijuu stops just before the line and smashes the rock with his wooden sword. Its the size of my head. I saw the red aura again.
The crowd cheers.
Then he calmly steps over the line.
"Victor General Kaijuu"
The crowd erupts into an even louder cheer.
