Vetto the Despair

"Huaahh... What a rude man. Trying to set a sneaky trap for a defenseless woman..." Vanessa said yawning

"You can't really complain if I trap you instead, can you?" Vanessa asked as she trapped a priest in her string-like web.

*Control Room

"Whoa, Vanessa! She's usually drunk and useless before she gets warmed up, but now...!" Yami started.

"We rock today," He said nodding.

'Gnrrrrgh... I thought they looked like a bunch of jokers, but they're pretty tough! They're not low rank at all,' The high priest thought.

"Better get that magic stone ready, Gramps," Yami said laughing.

"Haw haw haw! The best part of a game is turning the tables!" the high priest said.

"Hey, now. nothing's lamer than a bluffing geezer," Yami said.

"It's not a bluff!!" 

'If my son and grandkids get serious, we'll turn the tide in a jiffy!' the high priest thought.

*Noelle's Area

"I've been waiting for you to come here, Noelle!" Kahono exclaimed.

"Kahono... So you were from the Underwater Temple! Why did you help me learn magic?" Noelle asked.

"I was looking for people who wanted to come to the Underwater Temple while I practiced singing on that beach. You see when we have guests, Granpa... I mean, The high priest always holds games!" Kahono said.

"If that happens, my dream just might come true!"

"Then... You used me?!" Noelle exclaimed.

"...? No. Im grateful to you for giving me the chance to make my dream come true, but... You were working hard, and I did want to help you. It's also true that I wanted to be your friend. But... Starting now, we'll fight in this game fair and square as opponents... Noelle!!" Kahono exclaimed.

"No!! We're friends, aren't we?!" Noelle said.

"Friends are people who can clash over things that are precious to them... But keep right on smiling together even so!!" Kahono said as she opened up her grimoire.

"Song Magic: Mother Lullaby!"

Kahono started to sing beautifully making Noelle feel drowsy.

'I...Im so sleepy all of a sudden... Is she planning to make me pass out?!' Noelle thought.

"Water Creation Magic: Sea Dragon's Cradle!"

*WSSSSH

A huge ball of water surrounded Noelle protecting her from Kahono's spell.

"Aha! You're okay with fighting now?" Kahono asked as she sang even louder.

"Song Magic: Destructive Beat

*THOOM

*THOOM

*THOOM

destructive winds and sound attacked Noelle's defensive spells trying to break through.

*RRERSPLOOSSSH

*BLOOSHH

"What do you think you're doing?!" Noelle yelled throwing a basic magic ball at Kahono.

"Wow! It's just her magic energy but look at that force!" Kahono exclaimed.

*SPLASSHH

The attack at first went straight at Kahono but drifted to the side hitting the wall.

"Huh?" Kahono voiced confused.

"What're you doing Noelle?! An attack like that won't even faze me! Aim right, would you? That was just sad!"

"Be quiet!!" Noelle yelled as she sent two more magic balls at Kahono, however, both went the other direction hitting the wall once again.

"I still can't control when I'm attacked, you moron!!" Noelle exclaimed.

"..." Kahono became silent for a second.

"You're wrong, Noelle. You are controlling your magic," Kahono said.

"Huh?!" Noelle replied.

"You're unconsciously trying not to attack people! You must not want to hurt anybody. But... Are you sure you're okay with that? Why did you come here? Aren't you here to make something come true?" Kahono said.

"If you don't fight for it and win it... You'll never get what you want!!!" Kahono yelled at Noelle.

*Ozul's Area

Without warning, Kiato dashed forward, his speed impressive as he closed the distance between them in an instant. His swords slashed through the air in a graceful arc, aiming to strike Ozul down before he could react. But Ozul was ready easily blocking the attack with his sword.

*CLANNGGG

"Heh!!" Kiato said impressed.

The impact forced Kiato to leap back, His eyes narrowing in concentration. Kiato Wasn't deterred. He quickly followed up with a spinning dance-like move, his swords cutting through the air with deadly precision.

The fluidity of his movements was mesmerizing, he aimed to overwhelm Ozul with his speed and grace, each strike more aggressive than the last.

"Adding in my dance magic... I bet you can't follow my moves!!" Kiato exclaimed charging at Ozul

"Haw Haw Haw!! How d'ya like my grandson's sword technique?! Amazing, isn't he?!" The high priest exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's some good swordsmanship. but..." Yami started as he continued watching the screen of Kiato and Ozul.

"C'mon, c'mon! It's not too late to surrender, Ozul!!" Kiato exclaimed as he pushed Ozul back

Ozul quickly countered with a calm precision of his own. 

"Rai," He called making him infuse his sword with crackling lightning

*KRRKKK

Ozul charged forward, his sword trailing with lightning as he moved with blinding speed. 

Kiato braced himself, crossing his sword to block the incoming strike, but the power behind Ozul's attack was very overwhelming. The force of the blow sent Kiato skidding backward, his feet barely finding purchase on the uneven ground.

'What the...?! Just how strong is this kid!!' Kiato thought smiling.

"Ozul's ability to pick stuff up is even better!" Yami laughed.

"What's this? Are you getting tired, Magna? Go ahead and rest," Luck said smiling as the two met in a cave in a huge room.

"I'm just bursting with energy, You idiot. You butt out, Luck," Magna replied as they both looked at their opponent.

"Ha ha ha! Come at me together! I'm sorry my dad's causing you all this trouble," The masked man said standing on a rock.

'He's strong!! Magic as deep as the ocean... No doubt about it. This guy's the strongest of the bunch!!' Luck thought.

"Water Creation Magic: Sea God's Hammer"

A huge hammer made out of water formed behind the priest.

"At the very least... I'll end this for you fast!"

"You ain't ending nobody, dude!!" Magna yelled.

"I'm nowhere near finished having fun!!" Luck laughed.

*KABOOMMM

"Wha..." Magna exclaimed looking at the huge.

"What is that?!!" the high priest yelled as Yami squinted his eyes.

"You look like you're having a good time here." A man blasted into the huge room.

"Come on. Let us play too!!" The man revealed himself to be Vetto the Despair with three hooded men.
