Chapter 9 - Tournament Part I ~Lord Marvel vs. Dracos~

"And basically..." said the Disciple before them. "That's how the study of Mageiometry occurred. Magic can be studied through mathematical measurements, particularly from measuring frequencies such as light and sound. When using light, the eyes emit a special kind of frequency that uniquely warps reality... This phenomenon is called Usog. When the frequency vibrates the quantum string, the string ends up turning into this bubble like structure. To artificially recreate this frequency, a certain soundwave is used by a machine called the Song of Magic Crank-..."The bell rings.The Disciple sighs. "Class dismissed..." He slams his head on the table."Good bye and thank you, Jerry the Wizard!" smiled the class, who is just the main characters with Prometheus and the Reaper at the back."Wait, WHAT!?!?" asked Miguel. "There are ONLY TWO classes here... Our class is called... Get this! 'Star Section.' Class 1-B is just the rest of our schoolmates who are chosen to use Usog.""And serve you, huh..." said Anna."I feel DAMNED IMPORTANT for once!!!" sneered Jedan."Yuh..." said Lord. "Well, well! If it isn't the star section!" sneered Dark, a strange man with a black mask, black trenchcoat, black overalls, and black cowboy hat. "It's a far greater sin than the gay shit in Sodom and Gamorrah.""Fuck off. I already told you that Sodom and Gamorrah's sin was immoral lust and rudeness to sacred beings. NOT because they're gay," said Prometheus."Oh, please! How would you know, f*****?" cackled Dark."I am God's Avatar. How would you think?""You're pathetic. So... You must be my people's King..." sneered Dark, turning to Miguel.Miguel's eyebrow raises. "Excuse y-?"Dark takes off his mask and reveals his Aswang face with his prehensile tongue slithering like a snake in the air. "You see, Prometheus... You're either straight or evil... There is no in between. Religion and tradition is the true answer to what is right!""I represent all religion and truth.""'If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.'""Then I, God's ultimate Avatar, servant, and representative claims his title as God's ultimate abomination to wash away the true abomination of the world: The Great Evil. THE GREAT SIN!!! A weapon forged from sin and trauma to destroy sin forever."Dark squints his eyes. "Fuck you. You will never be my St. King, 'St. King Prometheus'."Herculea, the Demigoddess child of Zeus, walks into the scene. "Goddamn it, Dark. Stop forcing your religion unto our current multiverse-national hero.""Hey! Look! It's your TRANSGENDER boyfriend..." said Prometheus."She is NOT A MAN!!! It's fine! IT'S OKAY BECAUSE SHE'S NOT A MAN ANYMORE AND SHE'S SEXY AND BEAUTIFUL THE WAY SHE IS!!!" sobbed Dark."Uh-huh..." said Prometheus. "Just admit you swing that way...""NEVER!!!" roared Dark.Everyone turns to him with sus looks."B-B-BECAUSE I DON'T!!! I'M NOT GAY!!! I DON'T... DO THAT GAY SHIT!!!""Uh huh..." sighed the Reaper, walking into the scene with crossed arms. "Go away, filthy Aswang.""Um..." said Miguel."Not you.""Well, well! If it isn't our former Trinity's former leader!" laughed Dark."If it isn't the Catholic Samurai from the Island of Shinpi no Shima.""You just said 'Island of the Island of the Mysterious.'""Had fun abandoning your world?""Had fun abandoning your people?""Okay, guys! Can we just not fight each other right now?" asked Herculea."Whatever! Wait... I have an idea!""What's your stupid idea?" asked Prometheus."A challenge. My students against yours...""I have Miguel Azral. Jedan Ligera. Christopher Lord. Anna Anastasia. Gerard Persuvius. Fred Persuvius. Athena. Happy the Hornet.""Miguel. Anna. Jedan, Christopher.""Tyrone. Jess. Acosta. Cal.""Very well... Let THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!!! See you at the gym, Prometheus..." he sneered."'The Gym!?'" asked the others."Alright, kids! This! This is part of your curriculum! From all your training these past few months, it is finally time for you to battle against your old school bullies!""Wait-..." said Miguel."ALRIGHT!!! All your training has prepared you for this!""You just bet us!? Dude! We aren't ready!" yelled Jedan."Plus, THIS IS PART OF THE GRADING SYSTEM SINCE WHEN!?!?""Since now. Don't worry. My scribes are writing the ground rules."The next week..."And those are the rules!" smiled Prometheus, while they stand outside a bowl-shaped stadium."Wait, back up... So, we're allowed to be as brutal as possible. But no killing? Just knock 'em out?" asked Miguel."YES!!!" sneered Prometheus.Prometheus teleports them inside. "Behold! 500 students watching 8 challengers!""Welcome everyone to the Saint Lorenzo Ruiz University Blood Tournament! Sponsored to you by Happy Hornet Entertainment! I am your host, Dylan Diaz!""Hellu everybody!" smiled Happy the Hornet."And comes the star section! Miguel Azral! The Aswang Prince!""Booooo!!!""YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE STAR SECTION!!! TYRONE'S MY GOD!!! MY KING!!!""YOU AIN'T OUR KING!!!""You think the fact that we're placed in a pedestal above 500 students turned everyone else into demons who hate the shit out of our class?" asked Anna."Crab mentality to the max," said Anna.Miguel sighs and looks down, in shame."Anna Antonia Anastasia! Miss Muffet!""Not crazy about the name..." said Anna, sighing."BOOOO!!!" they booed louder."GO TO ASIA, ANASTASIA!!!" a girl throws a drink at her."WE ARE IN ASIA!!!" yelled Anna. "WE'RE IN PHILIPPINES, BITCH!!!""Jedan Ligera!!! Slime Tutorial!""That's-...? WHY IS THAT MY NAME!?!?" roared Jedan. "PROMETHEUS!!! YOU ASSHOLE!!!"Dark laughs hard while sitting at the stadium.The Reaper facepalms, next to Dark, Herculea, and Prometheus. "Why the fuck would you name him that!?""I thought it was a good name!" smiled Prometheus."BOOOO!!! BOOOO!!!""And Christopher... LOOOOOORD!!! Or shall I say... Lord... MARVEEEEL!!!""HAHAHAHAHA!!! HE'S THE GUY WITH THE CRINGE YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!!"Christopher frowns and clenches his fists.Prometheus and the Reaper snickers."Introducing the challengers... The student with an A++ in academic grades and known for being a master at music, arts, physical education, and many more! Stealer of women! Likely stole your crush! But mostly STOLE MIGUEL AZRAL'S crush, Jess Pimiento-!!!""POOR MIGUEL!!!" cheered the on-lookers. "Poor Miguel!""Boohoo!!!""Poor Miguel!""HA!!!" laughed Dark. "THEY'RE SAYING THE THING!!!""PRESENTING... TYRONE... BERNAAAAARDOOOO!!!"Tyrone walks out of the scene while "No Diggity" plays in the background. Beside him is a beautiful girl and two handsome guys."Then... Presenting Tyrone's girlfriend and most popular girl in school... JESS PIMIENTO!!!"Jess smiles, posing for the entire crowd as hundreds of cellphones do snapshots of her."Presenting the funniest class clown OF THE CENTURY!!! ACOSTA FERNANDEZ!!!"Acosta laughs. "PROVE IT, FUCKERS!!!""And finally... Our all-time favorite basketball player of the century... Lead team player of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz and ITS CHAMPION... CAL KRISTAAAAAN!!!"Cal, a muscular but short kid, walks into the scene and laughs.Everyone cheers hard for these four."Wait a minute... All 480 of these students... Are they IN ONE CLASS!?!?" asked Anna. "PROMETHEUS!?!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?""I feel threatened. Should I feel threatened?" asked Prometheus."Do you feel threatened by Mom?" asked the Reaper."Dude. That is NOT why we ended up marrying her.""FIRST BATTLE!!! LORD MARVEL VERSUS... DRACOS!!!"Dracos is teleported into the ring by Prometheus.Lord Marvel walked into the ring by himself, which is pretty much just the basketballcourt. The court had giant steps that acted like chairs that surrounded this so-called ring. The court's far north has a stage placed for theatre, which also had a roof. The court's He walked down the stairs and stepped on the ground. The stadium chairs are all covered by a very wide roof but the "ring" itself has no roof. It's been dismantled completely."Let the GAMES BEGIN!!!" roared Dylan."Is he seriously gonna pit us against our worst enemies?" asked Miguel."Oof..." said Anna and Jedan.Lord's skin slowly becomes stone. "Okay... Let's do this..." Lord charges at Cal only for Cal to punch him once as he comes crashing down into the theatre."Damages will be repaired by Prometheus," said Dylan."Assholes..." said Prometheus, shaking his head.The people laugh at Lord and booed at him."That's what you get for siding with a colonizer!""LOSER!!!""WEAKLING!!!""HIS ARMOR BROKE DOWN FASTER THAN HIS YOUTUBE CAREER!!!"Lord growls and grits his teeth.Lord slowly stands up and repairs his stone armor.Lord forms stone gauntlets and charges toward Cal.Cal immediately charges toward Lord and crashes into him, breaking his armor into pieces again.Cal grabs him up and beats him down with his punches, with his fists glowing with red energy.He punches as each of the stones in his skin break down.The people cheer for Lord's defeat.Lord falls to his knees."LORD!!!" yelled Miguel, worried."I mean, those YouTube jokes were pretty solid, not gonna lie," said Jedan."GET UP, DUDE!!!" yelled Miguel."Lord!" yelled Anna. "Try lifting yourself with your legs!""Not... Not how it works, Anna," said Miguel.Lord lifts himself up, growling."Back for more, NERD???" sneered Cal. "I've been exercising for years... Making myself stronger.. Making myself BETTER!!! Sadly, I was the short kid... And look at you... A former fatass-turned-muscular god. You're far too arrogant. Far too strong with his ego... So, you pretend to be nice and let everyone else roll over you. But in reality, you're a monster...""What are they talking about?" asked a guy, watching this."I dunno. But it looks like an anime battle," said the other guy."You're stupid, Lord. And you get angry when you're reminded that. You get aggressive when you're reminded that. Frustrated by your simplicity. THAT is your downfall. And that is why I AM BETTER THAN YOU!!!" yelled Cal, beating him down even more. "KNOW... YOUR... PLACE!!!" he yelled, kicking him each time. "God, I hated you... I hated how plain stupid you are... How you would get mad just because I joked about you a little bit... And apparently, I'm the bad guy!""Scientists say that Humans evolved to see over grass!" yelled Miguel."Excuse you?" asked Cal."You evolved wrong!" yelled Miguel."Heheheheh..." laughed a couple of people."Heheheheheheheh... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!""That's funny!" laughed Dylan."You're shit at your job!" yelled the Reaper."Uh-huh... Just watch, everyone," yelled Dylan."Terrible..." said the Reaper."Absolutely terrible," said Prometheus.Cal yells. "Excuse me, I can't hear you from up there!""Sorry! I can't hear you from down there!" yelled Jedan, as the trio snickers."Stop laughing at me.""Sorry, man!" laughed Anna. "It looked like we were laughing at you. We were actually laughing at the empty clothes and shoes-! Ooooh! THERE you are! You're INSIDE the clothes! Sheesh. Needed a glasses to see that YOU EXISTED!!!"The trio laugh harder."(Come on Lord... I'm rootin' for ya...)" said Miguel.Lord growls and breathes out.Cal slams his fist into Lord's chest and Lord topples down again. "FUCK OFF!!! YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO BOOST HIS MORALE BY PUTTING ME DOWN LIKE MY CLASSMATES ARE PUTTING YOU DOWN!!! HOW IS THAT FAIR!?!?""What? Dude. It's barely even fair. There are like almost 500 of these assholes and eight of us counting Lord... See?""Woohoo!!!" smiled a single Athena clone. "You can do it!""Woo..." said Gerard. "Can they hear me?""I don't fuckin' know. Your voice's too soft," said Fred."Jolly good show!" smiled Happy. "Sponsored by Happy Hornet Entertainment!""Whatever!" yelled Cal. "It's not like you guys are any special, anyway!"Lord's eyes turn angry."You guys are nothing but pathetic weak losers who NOBODY CARES A-!!!"Lord grabs Cal's shoulder with his body growing like a giant beefcake-y bulky man.Cal sighs. "Oh! Sure! Now, what is this? Some sort of proud gay bodybuilding show-off?""I'm going to tear you in half," said Lord."Ha! Yeah, right! Like a loser like you can do that! My ability makes me UNSTOPPABLE!!! Eyes of Motion, bitch! I am unstoppable no matter-... OH MY GOD!!! WHAT THE F-!?!?"*CRACK!!! SPLOSH!!! SPLAT!!!*Lord quite literally tears him in half as his entire left side is torn off from his head, torso, and right leg.Lord drops Cal to the ground.Cal goes limp."Wow..." said Miguel. "That's a huge bucket of therapy right there.""HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" cackled Zed."Don't worry! I can heal him!" smiled Prometheus."Blud... WHAT THE FUCK!?!?" asked the Reaper.Herculea facepalms. "Oh my God. Not again.""'AGAIN!?!?'" asked Miguel, Jedan, and Anna."Hey. It's like what happened to me before I was raped prior to my animatronicization," said Happy."Nice," said Fred.Athena vomits on Gerard's shoulder."Dude. I just cleaned this last month!" said Gerard.Tyrone, Jess. and Acosta are absolutely mortified and terrified to participate."W-Well... I guess... holies and... gentle... poles... Christopher Lord... wins...?" asked Dylan. "(Beginning to see why Prometheus chose these guys...)"Chris just stares at his kill, sneering wildly like a berserker savage."WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" yelled one kid in the background.
