Colosseum Rambler

"don't worry, when the time comes, you will find and decide upon a goal only you know you can complete" Frederic smiled as the carriage came to a stop, the sun starting to rise from behind the horizon. the door to the carriage opened from outside as Galiun stood there.

"come on guys, we are here, we gotta unpack fast. the festival is already starting" he put out the steps and helped Frederic wake up the other guard, Kiyoko, and Oji. who quickly woke up and entered the hotel

The king unlocked the room to the suite and let in the 4 guards plus Oji, Kiyoko, and Frederic into the room. Oji picks the bed closest to the window and farthest from the other beds. everyone sat their suitcases on their bed and left the hotel room in a rush.

they walk down the street of the festival around city center as all the shops set up their booths, ranging from restaurants and pubs to souvenirs and book stalls.

"hey dad, what exactly are we doing?" they continued walking

"well, since we are going to be the royal family at the tournament, you three will participate and i will host it, though i have no clue of what I'm supposed supposed to say for half of it" he chuckled, Kiyoko seemed surprised as Oji and Frederic jumped a bit. both responding at the same time with the same response.

"so that means I can fight him!?" each talking about the other. the king and Kiyoko laughing as the Colosseum comes into view.

"there it is" they all looked at the structure as Frederic and Oji glared at each other making the revolution that they would beat the other.

"so, how is it going to work?" Oji looking around and ears steaming when he sees a snake poison shop.

"oh, it will be a bracket, and if im correct Oji is first and he's fighting a lightning user" Oji whips his head back around to the king.

"against lightning!? really!?" Frederic pats Oji's back as they enter the Colosseum. they take their seats as the king stands and everyone is quiet.

"good afternoon everyone" he smiles "this festival here today marks the" he paused as a guard whispered into his ear.

"98th anniversary of this festivals main event" he paused "the Colosseum rambler!" everyone cheered in their seats as the king continues.

"starting it off today is prince Oji Doyal of the low class with Fire versus Kari Mizushi of the Middle class royal family with lightning" he paused yet again "begin!" everyone jumped out of their seats as Oji walked onto the field as does Kari

"so, your the lightning user Kari i've been hearing about?" he asked never having heard her name before.

"And you're the prince for the low class? how weak" she seemingly disappears from in front of him and punches his stomach giving him an electric shock. Oji manages to block it but gets flown away.

"not to bad yourself little miss speedy, let's go" he bends his knees and crosses his arm before catching his hands on fire and using fire on his feet to move quicker, jumping around her hitting her from every direction. one of the hits sending her flying.

"I am getting excited" she smiles and runs at him her body surrounded by lightning. Oji's fist still ignited he throws a punch but she dodges with ease. the lightning she controls makes her as fast as lightning. the two engage in attempts at punching and kicking each other but neither able to land a blow. Oji flies back from Kari in an attempt to dodge.

"this is getting annoying" he puts one foot forward and another behind him and punches the air in front of him with both hands sending a massive fire beam towards her. the fire glowing a dark red with a small hint of green. arms wrap around his neck as he turns his feet to the right and full force slamming his elbow into her stomach causing her to cough up blood and collapse. the stadium went quiet as Oji re-balanced himself and leaned down.

"hey are you okay?" she coughed a bit more and sat up.

"yeah, im good now, thanks" Oji stands up and sighs holding his hand out.

"i gotta keep an eye out for you lightning users. you're dangerous" she grit her teeth and took his hand. Oji helped her to a standing position. the king declaring the winner as they exit the arena.

"and the first rounds, first match… the winner is Oji Doyal!" The crowd was in disarray as Kiyoko looks at the king.

"w-why is everyone yelling?" the king looks at the brackets given to him.

"well, the prince of the low class just defeated a member of the class above them, that isn't normal here so there gonna go wild over it" he stands up and raises his hand as everyone in the crowd goes quiet.

"round one match two. using earth Maho is Tia Kiyawe and using Ice is Mickie sukiyaki" the two walked out onto the battlefield and stared at each other Kiyoko watching everyone.

"begin" Tia threw her hands up and a wall of dirt and compacted mud follows her hands into the air. Mickie throws her hand from beside her hips to up over her shoulder creating ice spikes across the ground instantly hitting her and freezing her.

"first round, match two… over, the winner Mickie Sukiyaki" she celebrates her victory and helps get her out of the ice before walking off the arena floor.

"next up is Frederic Doyal with Ice versus Dashiki Mikado using wind" Kiyoko looks up to Frederic who is standing behind him.

"good luck Frederic" he smiles at Frederic who is taken aback as he walks away and onto the field.

already on the field is Dashiki who is awaiting him.

"hello mister Royally late" she smiles at Frederic who doesn't respond as he gets in a fighting stance.

"fight… begin" Frederic launches forward and goes to punch as frost covers his fist. he swings his arm and Dashiki uses wind to redirect his fist causing him to miss.

"cheap tricks" he plants his left foot down and uses the change in direction of his fist to turn to the right, his leg covered in a thicker layer of frost than before and kicking him to the ground and flipping over him and pinning him effectively winning. Kiyoko realizing the potential he has.

"and the winner is Frederic Doyal"
