I wouldn't make you all go through the living heck of waiting 'til Monday for this.

"I challenge you."
A strange looking man in a black cloak chuffled his cards and spun them around his body... And another stranger accepted. The cloaked man held his hand up with four large cards behind him alternating between X and O. "Do you know the rules?"
Turns out the second man didn't. After thirty seconds, the cloaked man grew tired of waiting. He spun, using his cards to slash the stranger. Then he thrusted his hand foward, sending the incompitent stranger away.
"Hey, Luxord, if you're gonna cheat, then get outta here!" It was the landowner. Luxord chuckled and walked out, playing around with his deck of cards as he walked.

"I can't get it off my mind. I've watched as my allies, enemies, and people I don't know get thrown together into such fights... And only in the third one was there any authority figure. It seems to make things... unfair. Now I can't have that, I love a fair game..."

Luxord walked until he found himself in a meadow of sorts. The area around him was grassy, with a good number of trees here and there. There were certain spots thick and certain ones thin, with a lake to the side leading to a plain... Not too long past that plain was a mountain. "This will serve quite nicely, I think I can outdo the competition with this."

Luxord raised his arms, and a barrier appeared in a large, pentagon shape. It shimmered around a very large area of the meadow and near the base of the mountain, then dissapeared... At least only from sight. Luxord dropped them and many portals of darkness opened up in the distance, at the very base of the mountain. Out of them poured many shapes and figures. Luxord decided they had at least know why he brought them here. He opened a portal and warped himself some ways up the trail so he could see them all.

When he got there, he threw one card into the ground. It exploded, which got everyone's attention.

"I am Luxord, though some know me as the 'Gambler of Fate.' And right now, it's your fates on the line. I've brought you here to undergo... civilized combat, if you prefer that term. I will be the judge and authority to ensure that there is no foul play... But don't tempt me, because I have an ability that can make you shiver."

Luxord's eyes swept from the left of the group to the right. "If you're wondering, yes, there are rules. For one, nobody here is to perform any actions or cheat in any way that gives a sign of invincibility or god-like strength. I will kill all those who disobey this rule on the spot. For two... During the third great fight, there was a great deal of conversation and liesure, which is unsatisfactory for a field of combat. If the fighting dies down when it could be raging, I will step in and resume it... Like it or not. For three, this is a field of combat, which means with abilities concerning the arts of war. Psychological attacks are tolerated, but when it's to the point of petty insults, you will be dealt with in ways more... fun... than simple death. As the janitor, policeman, staff member, principle, moderator, administrator, judge, and overall god of this battle, I reserve the right to take action for any other problems where I see neseccary."

"That being said... Let's take a look at the competition, shall we? You there", and Luxord pointed in the very middle of the group, "who are you?"

Lexaeus was shocked. He had opened a portal and gone through to try and find Xaldin, and this is where he came out? Bah.

"You know who I am, Luxord. What is the meaning of this?" Lexaeus extended an arm, and his hefty tomahawk appeared out of thin air with a noise that sounded like smashing rocks. He lowered it, and balanced the end on the ground, the pommel held in place with his rather large palm.

OOC: Yeah, thar be Lexaeus. I'm gonna guess he's about seven feet tall, just for reference.

Luxord bowed a mock bow.
"Well excuse me for holding a friendly competition. Perhaps you'd rather send you back to the days when your life's problems were at their worst? You know I have the power", he added with an evil grin. He stood up. "It's best that you just participate and hope to win, you've probably not much better to do at the moment."

Ishida Uryu took his index and middle fingers and pushed up his glasses. He was in his formal quincy outfit, and was about to finish off an arrancar before a warp opened and sucked him in. He landed on his feet, in a dignified manner and looked up at the bearded man talking. He listened, apparently this was a competition to see who was the strongest fighter amongst them, the shinigami had said he had participated in something similiar. Uryuu glared at the bearded man speaking to all of them. As he asked for their introductionafter another cloaked man spoke. As he finished Uryuu called his bow ginrei gojyaku(silver arced sparrow) to him through the spiritrons in the air. He pulled the string back and fired an arrow straight past the cloaked man's head.

"You, can call me Ishida Uryuu, and by the pride of the quincy I won't go down without a fight"

I'm the one on the right.

"Fool!" called out Lexaeus with his booming voice. "I'm a higher rank than you, you pitiable idiot!" Lexaeus calmed down, and looked at the other contenders. "Then again, I am up for a bit of fun," he added, grinning mischieviously.

"Tch. . .cocky, aren't you?" A white-haired boy standing next to Ishida spoke, "Blatantly showing your weapon to everyone so soon is stupid."

Captain Hitsugaya crossed his arms, looking sideways at the other competetors. Some of them looked tough, but nothing he couldn't handle.

"Ishida, you really shouldn't have done that. . ." Hitsugaya sighed a little. He had just woken from a nap, too. At least he was refreshed and ready to fight. Sensing the spritual pressures of those around him, he felt as though he would have a good fight on his hands.

OOC: Here's a pic, eh?



Sorry for the pic. . .couldn't find a better one.

Bic..


Luxord laughed. "Well, it seems we're getting to know each other quite nicely. And as for you, Lexaeus..."
Luxord used his ability with his cards to flip off the mountain and land daintily on the ground behind Lexaeus. Then Luxord turned around... And turned Lexaeus into a card. "I don't care if you're number one, this is a fight i've organized, and you happened to stumble into it." Luxord spun the card and Lexaeus was left standing on the ground (though the effect of the card trick probably turned his legs wobbly.)
"If anyone else has an objection, don't worry, I have other tricks..." Luxord shot his deck of cards from one hand to the other without even looking at them...

Wolverine leaned against tree and smirked he was getting to see the competition chat. Funny, he thought to himself, they would be killing each other moments later. He had seen and heard what had happened to Iceman, when he flew in a helped Iceman reform himself. This was going to be interesting indeed.

OOC: Yea, he's here.

Summary of Background and abilities and a pic:

"So wait. . ." Hitsugaya addressed Luxord, "Luxord was it? Since we're here to fight, when does it end? Are we fighting to. . .death?"

Hitsugaya let his arms drop, and his sword hand twitched a little. He took a breath, thinking to himself. Even if we are. . .I'm confident in my abilities. I'll make it out of this just fine.

Luxord walked away from the group, talking behind his back... "The competition ends when there is one man left standing, and that comes from my hand rather than anyone else's on making that desicion. If there's any participants who haven't introduced themselves at this point, they'll have to make their speeches later. But it seems the few people we have already are extremely eager to fight, so without further ado..."

Luxord open portals behind Lexaeus, Hitsugaya, Wolverine, and Ishida. He then froze time and gently pushed each of them trough the portal. He restored the flow of time after walking back to his original position, in which each of the four portals opened in seperate ends fo the field... Some participants falling out of them closer to each other than others. Luxord smiled as he walked up a stairway of cards to watch the fight, while still close enough to keep track of any activity in the oh-so rude participants that haven't bothered to tell of themselves.

Xemnas stepped through a portal to find Luxord climbing a stair of cards. "Luxord, what is the meaning of this! Your assualt on the hearts of Port Royal should be in progress now!"

Xemnas jumped up to Luxord. From this high, he could see the others. "Hmm.. those people look like they have strong hearts... They could be a great addition to Kingdom Hearts!" Xemnas summoned a Sorcerer Nobody to go see what the others could do. "Luxord, of course there are rules... Which are...?"

OOC: http://images.quizilla.com/S/SH/SHA/Sha ... Xemnas.jpg

Heres a pic.

Luxord chuckled. "Relax, Xemnas. I have created the invincible heartless, and my Gambler nobodies hold four medallions to keep it that way. By the time this contest is over, I can safely return to Port Royal. As for this contest, let me just show you the rules, it's easier than telling them again..."
Luxord created a small time reversal where he and Xemnas stood so both of them could hear... Luxord stating the rules to the participants again?
Luxord's eyes swept from the left of the group to the right. "If you're wondering, yes, there are rules. For one, nobody here is to perform any actions or cheat in any way that gives a sign of invincibility or god-like strength. I will kill all those who disobey this rule on the spot. For two... During the third great fight, there was a great deal of conversation and liesure, which is unsatisfactory for a field of combat.

As the janitor, policeman, staff member, principle, moderator, administrator, judge, and overall god of this battle, I reserve the right to take action for any other problems where I see neseccary."
The original Luxord restored time to its normal state. "Now that I've told you the rules again, I'm guessing you wish to join the battle?"

"Indeed..." (Major stress on the e's)

Xemnas's Aerial Blades (red blades resembling Lightsabers) appeared, coming out of his palms.

Meanwhile...

The Sorcerer Nobody found a man somewhere in the area(Wolverine). It summoned a red box made of an unknown matierial in the trees, out of the man's sight, to keep watch on him. The Nobody flew off to Xemnas.

Back at Xemnas...

The Sorcerer Nobody appeared next to Xemnas. "It has found someone..." Xemnas said to Luxord. "Farewell..." He and the Sorcerer flew off toward Wolverine.

OOC: I'm not at the tree anymore...I was pushed through a portal

BIC: "Woah, that was wierd" Wolverine said, one second he had been leaning against a tree the next in some place all alone. Snikt Wolverine's claws popped out of his knuckles, three claws on both hands. Better to be prepared for anything, he thought to himself.

Lexaeus suddenly found himself in the center of a grassy field.

"Bah. That Luxord..." he grumbled to himself, scanning the landscape. In the distance, he could see the mountain. About thirty yards away, he saw the short one with white hair from before, facing away. He smirked, and rose his weapon. Aiming for the boy, he smashed his tomahawk into the soft ground, making a wave of rocky earth spring up from the ground towards Lexaeus' unsuspecting opponent.

Hitsugaya was annoyed. He had been pushed through what seemed to be a portal, and now he stood in the middle of a grassy field.

"Huh. I wonder where the others are. . ." Hitsugaya crossed his arms, looking around. He heard a rumbling from behind him, and he turned to see the earth being upturned into spikes heading towards him.

Hitsugaya let his arms drop, and he jumped sideways to avoid the spikes. He gripped the hilt of his sword, even though the blade was much too large for him to pull out with his smaller arms.

"I'm guessing you were the one that attacked me." Hitsugaya spoke to the huge man in black, "I gotta warn you right now. Even if you are literally twice my size, I can assure you my power is at least twice yours!"

I'm going to play as Link. Alterations to that are that I'd moreso be playing as the LttP version by the of the game. (without the triforce of course) But that does change that it's the 'red maile' and the Lttp version of the mirror shield and such.

BIC
Link comes to the entrance. "Am I too late for this?" Keeping his words short, he checks over his armor and weapons.

OOC: Oops... Post Edited.

IC: Xemnas saw the man the Sorcerer had found. He had claws stick out of his fingers. "Hmm..."

Xemnas cloned himself, sending his clone toward Wolverine. The clone ran at him, and threw him up in the air. The real Xemnas appeared in front of Wolverine in the air, and said "Can you spare a heart?" and began to zap him with energy, trying to steal his heart.

"No my heart already belongs to someone" Wolverine struggled to say. He curled up into a ball as he hit the ground, the electricity surging into his body was a good feeling, he hadn't been in a real fight for a long time.

Wolverine started running at the cloaked figure claws unsheathed.
