Tryout Fic 4: VillageThe first day of the contest began, 64 characters would soon battle, in the first year the contest was a game. But by the second year it became much more, everything was at risk, and it was saved by the man siting in the chair champion. Clouds face didn’t look like that of a champion, Aries was gone, the only reason he came to the contest was to be with her, and she wasn’t even there. He also came for another reason, but thinking about it made him more depressed. “What now, every year come here to fight Sephiroth and protect the universe, I wish their was no contest.” Cloud put his face in his hand and began to cry, until a hand placed itself on his shoulder. “What Sora?” said Cloud. “Cloud why are you acting like this, your champion, if the others see you like this, you have to be strong”. Sora replied. “I hate this tournament” said Cloud. The warriors were dismissed, some went to train, and others to think. Shadow was running around more angry then ever. Everything was going wrong, once again he was on the other side of Sonic. Shadow only came here to prove that he was better then Sonic, but now they wont meat until the end. The other thing bothering him was that he couldn’t find any emeralds, last year he was able to use their power, but now they don’t seam to be around. Shadow got to the track at the training grounds. “Sonic, were are the emeralds” he said. Sonic smirked at Shadow, “why should I know?” “You mean you can’t find them either” said Shadow. Filled with anger he dashed off, ‘where are they’ he thought. Viewtiful Joe was facing his opponent in the sparing ring, the sound of gunfire, clashing swords, and heavy breathing filled the air of the training arena. He has heard many things about his opponent, that he had the power to control time. “Yo Max, do you really think you can control time better then me, you don’t stand a chance.” Max Pyane was unamused by his strange opponent, “We will see” he said. Both of them focused their ability. Max jumped back and let his guns fire into Joe. But to his surprise Joe was dogging the bullets, then Joe hit the last bullet back. Max jumped to the side narrowly dodging the attack and letting another round of ammo fly through the air. But the same thing happened, the last bullet came flying back at Max, who could no longer focus and got hit in the arm. “Ha why do you guys even try” Joe said while giving a pose. Joe jumped then while in air jumped again until he was right over Max. Then came charging down at him. Max was able to focus again and dodge the attack, Joe slammed into the ground cracking the cement. “So you can slow me down a little” said Joe “slow down this." Joe sped up, so fast it looked like six Joes were attacking Max. Max tried to shot him but he could never hit the real one. Instantly a fist hit him in the face, his cheek was burnt from the attack. ‘Hes moving so fast his fist caught on fire’ he thought ‘crap I cant focus much longer this one has to count.’ For the last time Max started to focus, even with time slower Joe was still moving pretty fast, but at least their was only one of him. Joe then charged at Max, who quickly pulled his guns out and fired, then a flaming fist crashed into him. Max slowly got up to see Joe clenching his chest, the bullets hit. Joe ran to Max again but halfway their his suit disappeared. ‘Crap’ he thought ‘I used to much power.' Continue Max quickly got out his gun and started shooting. Joe ran to the side but a few bullets hit him, he fell over. ‘I feel bad for the guy, doesn’t stand a chance with out his powers’ Max thought. Max walked over to Joe, “give up I won” he said. Suddenly Joes suit reappeared, before Max could react Joe was spinning. A kicks in the face, kicks in the stomach, one even landed in the crotch. The last kick sent Max soaring across the area. Joe stopped spinning “theirs no was im giving up” he said mockingly while giving a pose. But soon after his suit disappeared. ‘Used way to much it will be awhile before I can use it again’ he thought. ‘Good thing Max is Knocked out.’ Joe wasn’t feeling to good himself, he lost a lot of blood from the gun wounds. But Max body got up, Joe started getting excited.“So back for more, you should just give up.” The mocking tone of his voice angered Max. “Im not going to go easy on you” Max said, simultaneously pulling out his guns. He turned around and let them fire, unfortunately the clips were empty. “What the ****” he yelled. Max could see that Joe has already used his power. ‘Then we will hand to hand in real time’ he thought. They ran at each other, Max had learned basic martial arts at his time in the police force. Most of it was disarming techniques, but he had learned a few things. Joe learned all his combat skills from watching hours and hours of Captain Blue and memorizing his movements. All those hours of watching anime and playing video games helped also. Needless to say it was an even match, they traded blows for a few minutes until Max started taking control. Joe would yell out what attack he was doing which made it pretty easy to dodge his attacks once he learned it. Joes tried to do a neko no tonde, which was just him jumping at Max in a cat like way. Max easily avoided it and grabbed Joes arm, and hurling him over his shoulder and into the ground, face first. Joe broke his nose, he tried to get up but was to tired, he was worn out. “Looks like I won” said Max as he walked out of the room. After Viewtiful Joe was healed, he went to the track, where he found his next opponent. Sonic was one of the “Nine” as people would call them. Sonic, Mario, Crono, Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Samus, Snake, and Megaman. Sonic was supposed to be the fastest. “Hey you blue mouse,” Joe said “think your faster then me.” Sonic started laughing, it was common knowledge that he was the fastest thing ever. “You can’t be serious,” Sonic said “what are you supposed to be, a drop out Power Ranger.” “Im Viewtiful Joe” he said while giving a pose. “I know you, I heard your powers were similar to Max, I beat Max in a race.” said Sonic. Joe didn’t care, “my powers are a little different, come on ten laps around the track, or are you scared.” That did it, Sonic wouldn’t take that, “yea right, just don’t cry when you lose.” Knuckles and Tails began to chuckle, “there is no was he will be even close to Sonic” said Tail. “Yea Max could change time also, and Sonic was still lapping him” said Knuckles. The race began a blue blur was zipping around the track but to their surprise a red blur with many after images was fallowing right behind it. One, two, three four, five, six laps around the track in less then a minute, and they were still equals. But Joe began to worry, ‘I can’t keep this up much longer why did I say 10 laps’ he thought ‘I didn’t expect him to be this fast.’ Sonic was having thoughts of his own ‘what?! How can he still be on par with me, I might have to sweat if I want to beat him.’ When the seventh lap ended Sonic started gaining speed, around the same time Joes abilities ran out. Joe lost his costume, the gap widened and Sonic lapped Joe a few times before finishing. Joe walked away from the track while Tails congratulated Sonic, and Knuckles tried to warn Sonic about going essay on his opponents. “Man” Joe said “people here are really strong.” Snake and Samus were taking a long walk to their rooms. Snake shyly started talking “so are you ok.” Samus nodded, “ it hurt so much, I couldn’t talk, I couldn’t think, It was so horrible” she said. Samus death last year was brutal, the image of Link standing over Samus body was burned into Snakes mind. “I missed you when you left” said Snake. Neither really could think of something good to say, they got so close last year and it ended in such a brutal way. A lot has been troubling Snake, his brother Liquid Snake was invited to the tournament. Although Crono said that he would lose first round to Frog. Snake couldn’t believe it. “The only reason I came back was for you” he said. “I hate this tournament, I hate the trouble it brings to everyone, I only came for you, just to see if you were ok.” By the time they got to the hotel the sun was setting, Snake and Samus said their goodbyes and entered their rooms. Both of them were surprised to see a note on their bed, come to the hotel lobby at midnight. It was nearing midnight, Mario could barley see in the dark. He extended his arm, palm up, a ball of fire appeared in his hand lighting the room, Sonic was the first he saw. “Thanks Mario, I was having trouble seeing anything, did you invite me?” “No” Mario answered. “Hey guys” said Megaman as he walked up to them. “Do you know why were here” he said. Mario and Sonic shook their head. “this is weird” said another voice, which no one but Mario recognized. “So, you-a don’t know why were-a here either, Crono.” A red haired warrior came into the light, “hey Mario” the two rivals smiled at each other, every year they would have close battles, and their was a good chance they would fight again this year. “Your lucky I gave up last year” said Crono “I was going to win.” “But you-a didn’t, and never have.” Mario replied “What’s going on?” said a hard voice as two figures entered the light. Snake and Samus both thought the other sent them the invitation, yet know neither knew what was going on. “No one knows” said Megaman. “I think its clod” said Sonic “this is like the last time he gathered us.” Everyone nodded in agreement except Crono who was confused. Mario explained to him the time when Cloud called a meting to discuss what should be done about Sephiroth. Cloud then walked into the light “why are you all here” he said. Everyone was silent, “we thought you invited us” said Samus “to discuss Sephiroth.” “There is nothing to discuss” Cloud said “If none of you guys are behind this then who is.” “I am” a voice replied from the darkness, it sent chills down Snakes and Samus spine. A green boot came into the light. “ Link...” Cloud said. Instantly Samus raised her arm at Link. “No” Cloud yelled “why not” she said. Tension was building up in the room all the fighters were on edge. “I will explain everything” said Link “But first some people need to know what happened last year” Link looked at Cloud, “would you mine telling them, you were here the longest” he said. Cloud sighed “Well...” After much explaining Clouds story was over. The room was silent, for some this was the first time they heard of Porta Dei. Link broke the silence, “you understand now why its so important to stop Sephiroth” Link paused and looked at Sonic “I assume you had no luck with the emeralds.” “How did you know” Sonic said. “The gods of this tournament wouldn’t use their power to contain Porta Dei now that Sephiroth knows about its power.” Link frowned “even the gods of everything fear that man.” “Their must be a new key some other was to contain the power that is Porta Dei, we have to find it before Sephiroth.” said Crono. “Who cares” Cloud said “ just beat him in the ring, that will stop him.” “What if he gets the key before we can beat him” said Snake. “If we can beat him” Link mentioned “ the best thing we can do figure it out before Sephiroth, until then be careful, Sephiroth doesn’t play by the rules he could attack us at any moment” Link was right Sephiroth would constantly cause problems for them last year. Link continued “I purpose we never go anywhere without one of us with them” “Why are we here” said Samus “what I mean is why us” said Samus. “Because we are the best fighters in this tournament, and the only ones who can fight Sephiroth with any chance to win” Link said “Anyway like I was saying never travel alone and if you can travel with one of us, Sephiroth can’t win if its two on one” Cloud started walking away “Whatever...” “Were are you going” said Link “It doesn’t matter, lets say we stop Sephiroth, what about next year and the year after that, it will never end” said Cloud. “Then we will fight every year” Link replied “I don’t want to” said Cloud. “What kinda talk is that Cloud, we need to be here” said Snake. “Easy for you to say, your girl is still here.” Cloud said as we walked into the darkness. Link was angry “everyone else listen up” Link looked at the group “we are all heros, even if we don’t want to fight, its what we must do, and I don’t care if we fight for eternity, I will save the ones I love” Link walked away. Everyone else returned to their room. Cloud sat on his bed, “why, why am I here, there is nothing here for me but pain” tears began to run down Clouds face, “why aren’t you here?” Next Entry Back |
