It was time.. For weeks now, those who had known of this tournament in the start had been waiting for it. And over the last few days, the contestants had been awaiting it as well. Lucifer was ready now.. Even if all the contestants were not. And so, as he, Hikaru, and Koty appeared in a waiting area for contestants (which was a small, wide room lined with many benches and some water as well as plasma -- actual plasma -- TV screens showing HSPN, the sports network for Mortality's Planes).

At this moment, an alarm of sorts began to sound throughout all of the dimension -- and even outside it, as a signal was sent to every contestant telling them the tournament would soon begin.

"Welcome," Lucifer announced, "We shall await everyone's arrival before introducing the tournament's rules."

A red flash of light filled the area and out of the light stepped Valor Korr clad in full body armor and with a regular katana strapped to his back. The light changed to blue and immediately Veritas appeared. Valor "Lucifer, I am getting a call from the Negion users. They are calling me and challenging me to a duel."

"You can finish it later you idiot, now shut up before I kill you again." Rogue muttered as he and Vincent appeared, standing next to each other. A warlord and a necromancer, it was a touching sight. "Hello Father, it seems he isn't here.. I really would've thought that he'd come to at least watch." The Necromancer mentioned, looking a bit solemn.

Vailen disguised as a bound mortal appeared in the arena. Immediately Valor forgetting that he would indeed have to do battle to keep his Negion began striking up a conversation with Vailen. He was trying to be charismatic. He knew that he might need help when it was time for a revolt. Before talking however to Vailen he said to Rogue "I merely was challenged as of a few moments ago! I am not forced to go to it yet. "

A red circle appeared, Chaos Energy stemming from it in the form of red bolts. Keith pulled himself through, in his 'Doomknight Sepulchure' form, the twisted spikes seeming to be looking at everyone in the room. He knew he stole this form, his second most used, from a video game, but he didn't care; he liked it. "So...I hear this is the place for the Hell Tournament, eh? I'd like to make a last minute entry. Name's Keith. Keith Bane." He looked at the other contestants. Didn't look like much, but he knew that he didn't either. And considering he usually ate his fallen foes(and even those still alive, at times), well, looks can be deceiving.

K2 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 13, 2010, 06:23:27 PM »

"Welcome," Lucifer said, looking at Keith, "We have already got an interesting turn out, but we're awaiting more people," Lucifer explained.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2010, 08:37:59 PM »

"Tch, the guy nobodies even heard of arrives, yet the others have the indecency to not have shown up first? Why, the nerve of some people!" Keith said, bored. "Yo, devil, since it looks like we'll be waitin' a while, where're the concessions? Im starved."

Abel and Lincoln both appeared, Lincoln twirling his cane and Abel holding a cage with what seemed to be a hamster on steroids just running on it's wheel.

"IT WONT STOP RUNNING! AHAHAHA, I'M GOING TO START A HAMSTER FIGHT CLUB! I'LL MAKE MILLIONS!" The Supreme Leader of the Archive announced loudly, looking at the little mammal with a manic expression of both joy and expectation.

"You injected it with four souls and a lot of muscle enhancers, I'm pretty sure that hamster can kill a normal human being.. It's unfair to pit it against another hamster." Lincoln responded, looking at the creature with distaste.

K2 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 14, 2010, 06:13:57 PM »

Lucifer looked delighted at the hamster before turning to a hungry Keith. "Yes, yes, food!"
And at that, an entire snackbar of pudding was produced.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #9 on:** March 14, 2010, 08:17:21 PM »

"Pudding..." Keith said, before materializing another of his helmets to use as a bowl. He would have used the one he was wearing, but he just didn't particularly want anyone to see his face at the time.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #10 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:02:44 AM »

"Some of us don't really fancy being here." Hikaru replied in response to Keith's first inquiry. "And I wouldn't trust that if I were you," she quickly added, at the sight of the appearing pudding. "There's nothing keeping him from poisoning it."Though she was talking to Keith, her attention and focus seemed to be elsewhere.

Cupping her hands behind her back, Hikaru materialized a sphere of Holy fire, keeping it covered till it took the form of a hand-sized phoenix. Once this was done, she quickly released it, silently giving it the sole mission to scout out the layout of hell.

Wihen that was finished, she turned her attention back to studying the Revelations book, making sure not to draw attention until the 'spell,' had completely flown out of the room.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #11 on:** March 15, 2010, 09:23:28 AM »

"Wouldn't matter. I ain't biological, and no poison's ever hurt me before." Keith said, thinking. "At least, not that I know of. Although, if you're so worried, perhaps I should just have you as a meal, yeah?" He looked her over, trying to decide whether it would be worth it or not to eat her, and decided for now to wait for the tournament. Then he'd try to eat her alive.

Queen Bright · « **Reply #12 on:** March 15, 2010, 03:24:47 PM »

"I'd like to see you try." Hikaru remarked over her book, leaving the dare to hang as if to provoke him.

Meanwhile, Hikari appeared near Vailen, disguised, and keeping well out of the sight of her mother.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #13 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:06:27 PM »

"Heh...Be careful what you wish for..." Keith said, subtly fusing with his armor to form a kind of carapace. He was preparing to morph into his 'Nightmare Form', a giant three headed demonic monster. He wouldn't yet, but he was preparing himself...This contest looked like it would be fun indeed.

Nisorin · « **Reply #14 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:15:54 PM »

A smaller version of a Hellgate raises up from the floor, Nisorin and Celestie bursting out, their cloaks still wrapped tight around themselves. "Lucifer!" He says, a fake smile plastered on Nisorin's face.

"Long time no see." Comes the sarcastic addition from Celestie, bearing a similar smile to Nisorin. One of her hands was firmly wrapped around her sword, the other around Nisorin's. "We have returned for your little tournament."

K2 · « **Reply #15 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:44:26 PM »

"Little?" asked Lucifer, laughing at Celestie. "Ah, well, yes. We are awaiting a f-"

Blasts of fire rained inside the waiting area in a sudden instant. As quickly as it came, the fire began to move, compacting itself into a corner of the room until it was by itself. The fire began to shape into the form of a human before becoming real -- the body of Chaos, dressed unusually different than usual. Instead of his customary Anrufe cloak, he wore Anrufe battle robes made especially for the tournament, white robes with a black symbol of some sorts etched inside the chest. This was the face of a warrior.. And of a leader; The leader of the Anrufe.

Arriving not too much later were K2323 and Akylos, who had obviously been engaged in conversation from wherever they were departing from. Their arrival came more in a sort of golden flash. As they arrived in the waiting room, however, they stopped their conversation and observed their surroundings. K2323 quickly went to the pudding bar without saying a word, but Akylos bowed his head and greeted everyone.

"Yes, well, as I was saying," Lucifer continued, "We are missing a few-"

At this moment, the mini-hellgate released a great burst of green energy.. And suddenly, it crumbled. Nobody had come through after Nisorin and Celestie. The hellgate's remains laid on the floor of the tournament room.. And suddenly, hellfire seemed to paint itself across part of the waiting area before Mokai arrived, exaughsted and confused.

"W-what just happened?" Mokai asked, looking up at everyone.

"Boy," Lucifer said, curiously, "Where were you born? What is your heritage?"

"The K Empire," declared Mokai. "I am Mokai, sage and leader of the New Xanacorian Empire."

"New Xanacorian Empire?" K2323 asked, mouthful of pudding. When Mokai saw K2323, he was overjoyed to the point that he almost found himself fainting. He was about to cry out in joy when he was interrupted by Lucifer.

"Yes, well, that's all great. We're missing two contestants now, I believe," Lucifer announced.

Kai · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2010, 07:59:57 PM »

Kai merely looked around as he stepped out of the portal and felt everyone's magic signatures begin to show. "Well this should be interesting, much more people than I expected to be here." he looked around then tried to speak to Chaos through his mind. "What do you think grandfather?". He stared at Lucifer pondering on what was going to happen next within the first few minutes.

K2 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2010, 09:28:43 PM »

"My son.. Chaos.. He will try to stop you no doubt if he learns that you have acquired my power. Do not think that because he is your father, he will spare you. You must kill him as soon as you get the chance," roared the deep voice of the embodiment of anarchy, strictly inside Kai's head.

"Yes, how great! It seems we're only missing one contestant now.. Oh, wait.. Here he comes," Lucifer explained.

At that moment, Fiske arrived. He was dressed in the clothing that one might find of someone from the desert, the typical clothing for a mortal nomad of Hell. He carried with him a backpack and Corege, his sword. And on his face.. There was a nervous expression. This was going to be an interesting experience for him.

"H-hello, all.."

"Welcome. You're just in time, boy! What was your name again? Fika? Vika? Fis-" Lucifer explained.

"Can we get on with this now?" Chaos demanded.

Lucifer sighed and waved his hand as Hiren Korr, Jeffrey Star, Faote, and Angel Star materialized inside the room.

"Yes, fine. Welcome, all, to the wonderful tournament of Plex!" Lucifer welcomed, his voice echoing on the last word, "As we speak, demons, humans, sages, glorocks, phoenixes, cyclops, and all kinds of nasty besties are filling the stands to watch you all make fools of yourselves! As you all know, the grand prize of this tournament is a power so great, one could easily overpower hell with it.. The tournament will be played in a typical tournament style on the tournament court, right outside the wooden doors behind me. The referee will be a demon named Hageva who is currently in the VIP section awaiting me. Understand something, all of you.. There are but a few rules to this tournament. One, the word of the referee goes. Two, there is no rule two. Have fun. Fight to the death. Whatever."

And with this, Lucifer disappeared. At that moment, the tournament's first fight was announced on the plasma TV screen.. And it was.. Nisorin vs Fiske. With this first match declared, the voice of Lucifer rumbled in the waiting area, "Contestants! Take opposite stances on the platform!"

And so, the wooden doors to the stadium opened, and a nervous Fiske squeaked, "I'm in the first battle!?"

As Fiske made his way out through the wooden doors and to one end of the platform, the crowd cheered. Things were heating up (pun unintended). Announcers were going wild declaring speculation of who might win the upcoming battle. This was the start.. The start of the Plex Tournament. It had finally begun.

As soon as the flames died down to reveal this new person, Keith felt something. Not something too terribly noticable, but something, a important something. Whatever this something was, he didn't care for, but it persisted in being there to irritate him until he found out what it was. Passing another pudding-partaker((K23232))-"Try the green stuff with the purple fuzz, whatever it is, its GOOD."-he made his way to the other man. As he came closer, the something became more recognisable; it was the feeling you get when nearby a kindred spirit, a instinct that helps push those similar people to meeting with one another. There was something about this man, that was similar to Keith. Hadn't that Blue Zero person said something about him being like his boss? And whats more, that uniform had a similar emblem to the one on Zero's...What a interesting turn of events, it seemed.
As he approached the man, completely having forgotten about the appetising-looking girl, his eyes glowed red and shining through his helmet, he said,"Hi there. Nice day for a tournament, isn't it? Though being this is Lucifer's realm, I suppose he could have something to do with it. Anyways, Im Keith. And you?" He would have offered his hand to shake, but he was still carrying his other helm-turned-pudding-bowl, and eating some of the rather satesfying pudding.

... I should probably get to making a new philosopher's stone... Was the only thought on Faote's mind at the current moment. Of course he could fight without it, but his Alchemic Magic abilities he spent practically the past four decades making was impossible without it. Though perhaps, maybe it's a better idea to get a feel on how these guys actually fight. Of course I'm not going to win, I know that for sure. So probably the best bet is to just find out the best possible way to lose without dying... Saying it and actually feeling it were two different things. Faote was dead for almost the entire time he was allotted to be able to be on the mortal plane. And having that sensation was clearly something he did not want to feel again.

Now lets see, I need a bat heart, various muscle tissue of human and animal flesh, ten gallons of blood...

"Do not talk to me, boy. I am Chaos, and I-"

Chaos stopped. Something about this boy didn't feel right.. He could feel traces of Blue Zero's power on this boy, as if Blue Zero had recently been around him. Was that so? Had Chaos's operative, a Level 2 member of the Anrufe, been in contact with this boy? If so.. Was that why this boy was here?

"Boy, have you met a man recently by the name of Blue Zero?" Chaos asked.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #21 on:** March 16, 2010, 10:13:14 PM »

"You possess a...Interesting...name. At least, to me. Yeah, I met with 'em. He seemed to be calling someone when I warped there, then we went to a resurant where he told be about this place, then I warped here and met you. Odd guy, said something about a organization that would someday rule everything. I think it was a invitation or something. And so here I am." Keith said, shoveling the pudding into his mouth. "Im getting bored, though...Too much waiting, ya know?"

Orph · « **Reply #22 on:** March 16, 2010, 11:50:45 PM »

"Yes, far to much waiting.. You're a bloodthirsty one aren't you? I like that, the bloodthirsty ones are always the most entertaining." Rogue said, he wasn't really looking at Keith, he was to busy studying Abel's mutant hamster. "Lincoln; would you mind?" Koty asked, handing the black coin towards the midget. Who responded with a flourish that teleported the coin to the safest place for it. Nox.

"Thank you Lincoln; lets watch the fight." Ararus announced, taking a seat, Rogue sat to his right, then Vincent to Rogue's right, and Lincoln to Vincent's right, and finally Abel sat to the midget's right. It an odd line. Starting with a God, a Warlord, a Necromancer, a Servant, and then an Abomination. "Hey! Mokai! Sit here!" Abel yelled, patting the seat next to him.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #23 on:** March 17, 2010, 01:06:59 AM »

"Bloodthirsty...Heh...You dont know just how right you are with that." Keith said, still hungry. It didn't look like the pudding was helping on that front. "I'll have to grab a meal during the fight, I guess."

He noticed the hampster as well, the mutant rodent almost taking the all of his attention; the Chaos he was made of made him want to just watch the little demon with as much enthusiasm as the others had. He resisted the urge though, being that he still needed to finish the conversation with this 'Chaos' person. Who knows, he may be a important person in the organization he was going to be a part of.

(I'll start the fight in a new topic)
