[Ozdin]

Ozdin walked into the arena through the door, looking up at the sun above. It was a much larger arena than he was used to, but still fulfilled the same function. It was odd, after so much change, to find himself once again a gladiator, fighting for a crowd. Ozdin listened as the people cheered, not for him, but for the fight. It was nothing new. Ozdin walked forward until he was just shy of the middle of the arena. Where was his opponent? Ozdin kept his eyes peeled. They said the combatants could enter at any time, which meant someone could sneak in if they wanted...He wasn't about to be caught off guard. As he hefted his sword, held backwards, Sho sat on Beat's back, the Sylveon also preparing for the coming fight, his first actual competition. All three of them were ready, and waiting.

[Kauss Faust]

Kauss shook his head softly. No… This was going to be an interesting fight now wasn't it. He had seen this man on the island sometimes. But only briefly. And he had never gone to speak with him or allow himself to be seen in the first place. It didn't matter. He had never seen him fight within the arena. He didn't know his style of fighting. But he would soon find out. That was the job of the ninja yes? That was how his mentor had taught him.

He closed his eyes and sighed. He should step out of his illusion cloak now. There was no use in wasting all his energy before the fight had even started. First things first. Take out the pokemon. Once the pokemon were out of his way, then he would move on to deal with the gladiator. How fitting for his first fight to be with a Somniis male. His mind raced. This, hopefully, should be a friendly fight. Since they were both from Somniis and were both males he didn't want to lose this chance for a possible friendship or ally. Whether he won or lost, he would not have any hard feelings.

He was not sure if Ozdin knew of him. Probably not, he had been hidden for a couple years now and the people who did know about him always forgot about him. Including his mother. He didn't know why, but whatever Darkrai wanted. It didn't matter to him. He took his two three pointed sai in his hands and stepped out into the open where his opponent could see him. Kauss wore a black outfit that fit loosely over his body and a scarf fluttered in the breeze from around his neck. It too was black. He stood in the middle of the arena, closer to Ozdin then expected, but not close enough to attack outright. He was possibly a rock throw away. If it was a child who threw the rock.

He spun the sai in his fingers out of habit and stood at a ready position. Kauss wasn't much for sarcasm during a fight. He was all about getting right into the fight itself. So he didn't say anything, but he did offer an inviting smile. Despite the pokemon at the Gladiator's side he wasn't afraid. And that also meant that he wasn't ashamed if it meant a loss. He appeared to be a good fighter. If he could get a decent battle out of this, then the man in front of him would gain even more respect from Kauss himself.

[Ozdin]

Ozdin was happy to see that his opponent was one for talking before battle like many of the others had been; he hated when fighters felt the need to know his name before they fought him. As his foe revealed himself to have been in the arena already, Ozdin's eyes narrowed; this man had magic!
Two could play at this game! Ozdin dashed along so that he was circling his foe clockwise, with Beat just behind him. Sho, recognized his partner's plan, and it was mere moments before the two were combining into the Gajinka ShOzdin.
ShOzdin wasted no time darting inwards, to strike at their foe's back, if possible. Regardless of whether or not thier foe showed him his back, however, they struck hard and fast with the blade, still held backwards in their hand, attempting to overpower the man who had only a knife to block him with. Behind them, Beat continued circling, so that he would be behind Kauss if the man kept his front to ShOzdin.

[Kauss Faust]

(Warning, the idea seemed like a good one, although I'm not sure how well it would have worked in real life so give me some slack. xD I tried to have it a little more realistic.)

Kauss was glad that his opponent wasn't much of a battle talker either and knew that this fight would go rather well no matter who won or lost. It didn't take long for his opponent to get into a fighting stance and launch an attack. He of course had allowed his opponent the honor of going first. Reason? He had wanted to find out his preferred way of fighting. And of course, the good ol' fashion Gajinka form was the Gladiator's choice of style. Kauss may not have a pokemon of his own, or a soul partner like many of the somniis had, but he was very familiar with the technique and was glad for the familiarity. 

The Gladiator, as quick as he was, began to move around Kauss, while his Pokemon (which looked to be a mix of its master and a Sylveon) stayed in front of him, just in case he decided to turn around and face the Gladiator. The tactic was brilliant of course. Kauss would have to choose a side to fight against, and no doubt the sylveon wasn't just going to stand where it was the entire battle and do nothing. So that became Kauss's target. As the Gladiator was still rushing around to his back Kauss's quick fingers dropped his Sai weapons to the ground, pulled out two of his Kunai knives and made a rush at the sylveon (who only had one set of bow feelers). He didn't necessarily want to hurt the little thing, but he had no choice if he needed it out of the way.

When he got closer to the creature he tossed the Kunai, aiming for the bow feelers rather then directly at the Sylveon. Of course, whatever the out come Kauss made a summersault over him the turned around to block the Gladiator with two more kunai. It wasn't enough to take all of the force from great blow of a heavy sword. And Kauss knew that his wrists would definitely feel the effects of the impact later on in the fight. But the move served it's purpose of shoving him backward into the shadow of the walls around the arena. The second he set his foot into the shadows he vanished, only to appear several yards away from another part of the shadow. 

When he appeared again he gasped in pain and cursed under his breath. If the Sylveon had been pinned down, he should be out of the battle for awhile, trying to free itself. The point of getting himself out of the line of fire for a few seconds was to collect himself. He glanced at his Sai, which were still laying in the middle of the Arena. He had to get to them as soon as possible. He wrung his wrists and glanced at his kunai. They weren't shattered, but he had hoped that they would have taken all of the force energy rather then have it go into his own body. Well, at least his hands and arms weren't broken. 

He had only stopped for a couple seconds before returning into the shadows and appearing out on the other side of the Gladiator and making a run into the middle of the arena for his Sai. 

[Ozdin]

ShOzdin was caught off guard when the enemy pinned Beat before he could fall into formation behind ShOzdin. As if that wasn't incredible enough, the man was so fast he was able to turn back and catch ShOzdin's blow, riding the impact force backwards and into the shadows, where he vanished. That's an interesting move. Can ^I_I learn it? ShOzdin began scanning for their enemy, but the shadows to hide in where everywhere. ShOzdin 's tail ran along his back, attempting to Sketch this shadow vanish ability, As the image of ShOzdin fading into nothing imprinted itself on their back, they realized that it wasn't a vanish power, it was a teleport one. But no matter, because he didn't need it to win this fight!

Rushing to the middle of the arena, ShOzdin stepped on the man's dropped sai. ShOzdin wasn't sure if the man planned on reclaiming them, but they weren't going to give him that chance. stooping down quickly to grab them, ShOzdin jumped into the air, and began Flying, well above normal reach, he made sure he'd have plenty of time to spot any attempt the enemy made at attacking him. They weren't worried about Beat; he could handle himself for now.

Speaking of, Beat was busy attempting to pull the kunai loose, while keeping his head down, and eyes peeled; being pinned in place would not keep him from helping in the fight, and he might even be able to surprise the opponent if the man underestimated him.

[Lugia]

The man who sat at in one of the upper pavilion gazed into the arena at the two boys. His long white hair drifting in the breeze as he watched. Two Somniis boys if he could tell right. Buy their auras. The one was using the Somniis trademark Gijinka form and the other just seemed... Quite familiar somehow. There was just something about him that caught his eye. Well, for now he brushed it off as the fight began. Right off the bat the god could tell that they would be quite the match for each other. Both were brilliant strategists. Brilliant fighters. The first few moments were quick compared to the speed that each boy was fighting as. Lugia watched the battle with interest, ignoring the other gods that seemed to be mulling about. He sat in a very calm and formal way within the seat he was given.

What was most impressive was their lack of cocky attitude. There was no taunting or yelling at each other or trying to out impress the other. It was pure talent and skill. Or.. Maybe. It wasn't entirely certain. This attitude from both could possibly be from the way the women had treated them on Somniis. Lugia shook his head in pure anger. Cresselia was going to pay for her misguidance of the island and of the original maiden. But he held it in check, for now. He would deal with them later. 

[Latias]

The young girl was walking through the onlookers, scanning the crowd for her brother, when a sight caught her eye; a man with white hair in the upper pavilion, watching the fight. Smiling brightly, she sneaked along the back of the seats until she reached the man from behind, having to bump past several people, including a tall man with pearlescent hair who was buying ice-cream. As she came up behind the man, she repressed a giggle. Had he seen her? She hoped not, or this wouldn't be nearly as fun! With a cry of triumph, the girl grabbed the man from behind in a giant hug.

"Daddy! I haven't seen you in forever! Brother said you were sleeping, but who sleeps that long?" Slipping around so that she could sit next to her father, Latias sat down, animatedly telling him about all the adventures she and Latios had had while he had been away. As she talked, she watched the fighters below, surprised at how silent they were compared to the other fights that had happened earlier. Latias wasn't really into fighting, but watching all the cool magics, like what that one demigod with the lightning had done, made it worth it.

[Latios]

The boy was sitting near the front of the stands, so he could see the fight better, though he was just behind Dialga, who looked looked surprisingly patient today. Likely he was enjoying the fights as much as Latios was. Though he wondered where his sister had gotten off to...

Looking around, he saw her sitting next to a familiar figure. She was talking to him about something very exciting, guessing by the way her arms were moving around. Well, she wasn't going to come to him, so Latios decided he would have to go to them. Walking up to the two, he waited till Lugia noticed him. "Hello, Father." Latios wanted to say more, but this was too public a place to have a family spat. And more importantly, he didn't want to upset Latias. She hated it when they fought...

[Kauss Faust]

Kauss stopped and cloaked himself in an invisibility illusion. Hey watched annoyed as his opponent reached his sai and stepped on them triumphantly. Kauss sighed softly to himself then watched as the Gladiator picked up his weapons and jumped into the air keeping a look out for Kauss himself. He realized quickly that neither of them had noticed him dashing into the middle of the arena, but he hadn't gotten very far anyway. At least his position was covered for now. Though he couldn't wait till he depleted all of his magic and energy. That would not be a good thing. So he slowly moved his hand into a pouch at his side that held his shuriken stars. He wished he'd had some rope to pull him down with, but skimming his fingers holding the sai would have to do as a shot. There wasn't too much he could do to bring him down unless he went to attack the pokemon on the other side of the arena who was still trying to pull himself free from his Kunai.

Alright, there was no other way. It probably wouldn't help at all to get the little guy involved, He probably wasn't defenseless, because he had his pokemon moves, but he himself didn't know what they were and he wouldn't know how to counter act them until then. Best not to get seen by him if he could. In a quick movement of his wrist only he tossed the little bladed star in the direction of whichever had the Sai were in, the idea was that hitting his fingers would cause him to drop the sai. The simple move was quick and easy, keeping his invisibility illusion over his body so that it would be uncertain where the star had come from.

[Cresselia]

Cresselia was dragged to this boring tournament, she much rather sulk over at Somniis than be here. Ever since that "incident" Lugia seemed to be keeping a closer eye on her. He kept such a tight eye that he was punishing her by dragging her to the main continent to watch stupid humans battle it out. She watched as the magic battle drew on and on... The people of Somniis facing, wohooo, yeah, and what is next to do? Watch The royals battle it out? She regretted her actions, was she free now? She won't capture humans on an island anymore... At least for a few more hundred centuries... Things kept going at this boring pace till Lugia's kids arrived to talk to him. She had decided this was her time to leave the audience and hide from Lugia's watchful eyes. She slunk into the light using her light camouflage, she gradually made her way to the stadium exit. She probably would have left to the food cession area, but the somniis battle just had her interest. There was a reason behind it.... But she kept it to herself. Best to watch in the light and out of Lugia's eyesight. She should thank the twins later, but of course she won't.

[Lugia]

He continued to watch the fight intently before he felt two warm arms wrap around him in a warm hug. He turned a calm, wondering gaze at the new comer and allowed his eyes to brighten with happiness and kindness as the familiar girl filled his vision. He laughed in response to her and offered her a seat beside him. "Well, I was taking a nap, because I was causing too much Havoc for the people. Cresselia got a little jealous I think and didn't allow me to wake up. I'm sorry I've been gone for so long dear." He then sat calmly, happily listening to his daughter tell stories and tales of what her and her brother did while he was gone. His smile seemed normal, but his eyes shimmered in a very sad light. He had missed his twins and he did feel guilty about leaving them for so long. He hadn't meant it to happen like that. Only a couple moons. But as he found out it had been many years before he had been able to wake up.

It wasn't long before he felt another presence at the pavilion and Lugia turned his sky blue eyes onto the other familiar figured that he had missed so dearly. Though his son did not look very happy to see him at all. He could entirely understand, with how long he had been gone. It hadn't been on purpose, though it made sense that it would hurt his son the most, especially since they already had a very delicate relationship as father and son. He could remember the fights they had had like they were yesterday, though they would be a long while for Latios. For a brief moment his expression was very calm and slightly emotionless, but after a moment the sky god smiled gently and spoke, "Hello Latios. Come sit with us?" He said, not wanting to bring up old wounds fight after seeing him again after such a long time of being apart. He would spend time with them later and see if he couldn't explain himself to his precious twins without starting one of those fights that seemed to get him pissed off and Latias very upset.

He then glanced at the spot where Cresselia USED to be sitting and a hard expression formed in his eyes and on his lips. How dare she leave his side. How DARE she. But for now he ignored it. Whatever Cresselia was plotting would have to be dealt with later. For now, most of his attention needed to be on his kids.

[Latias]

Latias beamed at her father, glad to finally be with him. "It's ok, Daddy! When I get tired, I feel like I could sleep for months! But you're awake now! So what are the mortals doing here, anyway? Cousin Victini said something about a competition, but she didn't seem to know what she was talking about though..." Latias' face became thoughtful as she remembered their energetic relative. "But anyway, we showed up, but it's just people fighting. I guess it's ok if they aren't really trying to hurt each other, but I don't see what makes it so interesting..." Latias frowned down at the arena, wondering. The fighting itself wasn't actually moving all that fast, either...both the fighters were all frowny-faced, and they kept jumping around without really fighting.

As her brother showed up, Latias returned to beaming, waving him over, even though he had clearly already seen them. Rather than letting her brother respond, she spoke as soon as their father stopped speaking. "Yeah, Latios! Sit with us! Daddy's back! Isn't this the best day ever?"

[Latios]

Latios stared at his father for several moments, seeing the stern look in his eyes before it softened into the cool care he always used with Latios. Latias waved him over too, as if everything was just hunky-dory. That was Latias, all right... "Very well..."with a sigh, Latios sat down next to Latias, pointedly sitting opposite his father from her. He would sit near the man for Latias, but he wasn't ready to sit next to him. Not now, and not anytime in the foreseeable future. Which was pretty far for their kind.

"Latias, the point is the challenge. they're competing against each other to find out who's the best. Mortals are much closer to each other in power than we are to our own kind, so who's more powerful isn't readily clear until they actually fight each other and see who lasts longest. These two are smart; they're testing each other a little at a time to figure out their opponent's weaknesses."

[Ozdin]

ShOzdin kept their eyes peeled, but didn't see anything. Where did he go? ShOzdin hated fighting hit and run people. the strategy didn't work when both fighters used it...

Down below, Beat managed to work the blade free, although he held it with his mouth so that it looked like he was still distracted. He was ready for anything...except for his foe to disappear...where had he gone? Beat dropped the blade and looked around worriedly. ShOzdin was gone too...no, he was just up in the air. So where was the enemy? Beat didn't know what to do...he hadn't trained for this kind of enemy! As he rushed around, looking for his enemy, he noticed something...a soft noise. He almost missed it. Footsteps. Then silence. Whistling...like something cutting air! Beat followed the sound, just in time to see the blade striking ShOzdin.

ShOzdin saw a flash of light, the glint of the sun off metal, but didn't move fast enough to get away, the blade striking their hand. As they dropped the sai, ShOzdin spun, and let themselves fall, following the blades down; if their foe took them out of the air, then they would either see him, or see the blades disappear, and if he let them fall to the ground, then ShOzdin could simply retrieve them, and keep his foe on the backpedal. They glanced towards Beat, but he had a funny look, like he was planning something, so they weren't too worried about him. He was free too, that was good. But ShOzdin's attention remained fixed on finding his foe, his sword hand still ready to strike at the moment's notice.
