With galaxies hushed and gravity coiled around anticipation, Everyone was quiet to let Emperor Restu Kasumi speak and then rose from his throne, eyes gleaming with cosmic authority.
Emperor Restu Kasumi:
(Voice like carved thunder)
"Greetings Mortals, Queens and Kings. The Grand Multiversal Tournament begins under five sacred rules. These are not suggestions--they are law.
Glyphs ignited across the arena floor, each rule etched in glowing aurora script. and the rules were about to be made.
THE FIVE RULES OF BATTLE:
*All Abilities Are Permitted-Warriors may wield any skill,power, or transformation they possess. There is no restriction.
*No Killing Allowed-Battles must end by surrender,knock-out, or referee decision. Intentional lethal force triggers disqualification.
*Spectators Are Sacred- Attacks that endanger audience members--be they kings, queens, or delegates--will result in removal.
*No External Assistance Mid-Battle-No interference, boosts, no teleportation ftom allies during combat.
*Arena Boundaries Must Be Respected- Fighters must stay within designated zones unless forced out by impact. Intentional evasion will be punished.
Cheers and nods rippled across the gathered realms. Warriors straightened, monarchs adjusted their stances, and the air thickened with coming fate. The Emperor turned, adressing the arena with precision.
Emperor Restu Kasumi:
(Declaring firmly)
"Due to the Astral Universe's scale, they will field five warriors. These names come directly from Empress Asuna."
A glowing projection spiraled upward, revealing the five names: Which are.
Void ling
Blaze Vortex
Rin
Satori
Liam
In the Divine Fang Universe seats, Dracona Dragonheart turned to Pyra Lumira, voice heavy with shade.
Dracona:
(Mocking)
"Those two boys--Void ling and Blaze Vortex. Never heard of them. They look like regular Mortals. The Astral Universe has lost already."
King Sarao Shiratori snapped forward with regal authority. And then he spoke.
King Sarao Shiratori:
(Sharply)
"Both of you--be quiet."
The girls went silent immediately. And then Reiko Kiyomi spoke.
Reiko Kiyomi:
(Folding her arms)
"You heard the King. Silence."
King Sarao, side--glacing her and then he spoke.
King Sarao Shiratori:
(Calm, and eyes closed with arms crossed)
"You too, Reiko."
Reiko nodded in acceptance. Meanwhile at the Zenith Universe, King Tasuya Shadow leaned toward Fiora Luna.
King Tasuya Shadow:
(Low and calculating)
"Those two boys...are threats. Their aura feels like it wants to crush the world of void itself. A space which is separate from universes and dimensions, which is infinite in space."
Rubina Velllichor, Phoenix Helios, and Noxie Rai murmured in agreement, eyes narrowing at the Astral Section. At the Obsidian Universe seats, Queen Ravenna Loveborn spoke calmly.
Queen Ravenna Loveborn:
(Curious)
"Void ling and Blaze...they carry thunder in their silence."
Ven Magnus and Violent Selent nodded. Leo Draca, glowing faintly, said nothing--but smiled, quietly pleased. At the Paradox Universe seats, King Solaris Valdris crossed his arms.
King Solaris Valdris:
(Mocking)
"Cute names. Are they here to fight or just pose dramatically?"
Aya Winterbane and Nivara Frost exchanged glances and both of them spoke.
Aya Winterbane:
(Chillingly)
"We'll find out soon."
Nivara:
(Softly)
"They're not here by accident."
Void ling leaned back, watching the empires whisper. And then he spoke
Void ling:
(Smirking)
"We've become conversation, Blaze."
Blaze Vortex nodded, flame aura flickering. Kai spoke.
Kai:
(Grinning)
"You two are practically setting off diplomatic tremors."
Glacior:
(Cold and chill)
"Maybe they'll declare war just to compliment you."
Celestina and Seraphina whispered excitedly. And then Ryuu spoke.
Ryuu:
(Interrupted)
"Will you two not talk about romance when death is on the line?"
The Group laughed, tension briefly lifted. And then Emperor Restu stood tall once more. And then Emperor Restu spoke.
Emperor Restu:
(Final declaration)
"The Grand Multiversal Tournament begins...in one minute. Match One: Rex Noir of the Primeval Universe...vs Aya Winterbane of the Paradox Universe."
The Arena shimmered. Glyphs ignited. The storm begins. As Rex Noir rose from his seat, Divinus Luminus spoke.
Divinus Luminus:
(Firmly)
"Go and win, Rex. We don't tolerate disgrace in the Primeval Universe.
Arlequina Quiin:
(Arms crossed and with a smirk)
"Shake the ground, Noir, show them this universe is the mightiest and the strongest of all."
Across the arena ring, Aya Winterbane stood from her seat, calm as frozen galaxies. She drifted like snowfall, behind her Nivara Frost spoke.
Nivara Frost:
(Warning)
"We don't tolerate defeat. It'll be tough--but go and win."
King Solaris Valdris:
(Calm)
"This will be difficult especially that universe."
As both warriors descended into the combat zone, arena glyphs lit up around them in spiraling arcs. Their footsteps triggered the floor to hum, responding to their energy signatures. The countdown begins. The Grand Multiversal Tournament is about to begin.
The Glyphs around the arena pulsed as the two champions stepped into the designated circle. The wind quieted. Everyone watched. Aya stood poised. Silver hair brushing her shoulder, her eyes steady.
Aya Winterbane:
(Serious)
"I don't care what realm you come from. Strength isn't spoken--it's proven."
Rex Noir:
(Cocky, unfazed arms crossed)
"Then prepare to be proven wrong... violently."
With no countdown needed, both surged forward in blur speed--fist ablaze with elemental fury. Their impact shattered light barriers around the arena, sparking arcs. Blow after blow, they met mid-airz matching each other in timing and brutality. Every strike created ripples visible in the midst of combat.
Aya Winterbane:
(Gritted her teeth)
"You fight like chaos wrapped in shadow."
Rex Noir:
(Smirking mid--swing)
"I am chaos wrapped in victory."
Rex twisted and landed a crushing uppercut, but Aya blocked it with a glacial wall. Still, the force slammed her downward into the arena floor, sending up a wave of shattered punch. At the Throne of the Empress and Emperors.
Empress Asuna:
(Tilting her head, half--impresse
"Rex Noir is really impressive, Your universe must have a strong fighters. The last time you guys visited, we didnt get to see his strength and power.
Emperor Restu:
(Smiled)
"Well... you get to see it now."
Empress Yasha:
(Softly)
"That girl...her restraint needs to be on point"
Empress Octavia:
(Gazing thoughtful)
"Both move incredibly fast, I am impressed."
Emperor Raphael:
(Smirked)
"They are good fighters."
Void ling and Blaze Vortex watched quietly fascination.
Void ling:
(Softly)
"Their tempo is refined. Aya holds deep defenses. But Rex is just impressive."
Blaze Vortex:
(Nodding)
"They're warriors. But neither has touched transcendence."
King Ryder:
(Arms crossed and smirked)
"Good show. But both of you fused would've ended it three hits ago."
At the Elysian Universe, Davina and Larissa, seated gracefully. And then he spoke.
Davina:
(Watching intently)
"They fight well...but neither will shake the world of void."
Larissa:
(Agreeing)
"They lack mythic gravity. It's good--but not eternal."
Bellatrix:
(Musing)
"Aya's is just too weak. Rex Noir is just powerful and my crush too."
Setsuna:
(Softly)
"Really... do you have to say that..."
At the Paradox Universe, King Saris Valdrisz rising slightly. And then he spoke.
King Solaris:
(Frustration)
"This... is bad. Aya needs to stabilize. She's folding."
Nivara Frost:
(Firmly)
"She must remember--Paradox Universe fights to rewrite outcomes. Not accept them."
At the Arena, Rex stood tall as dust settled around Aya's impact zone.
Rex Noir:
(Smirking over her fallen form)
"Is that all you've got, Winterbane Aya?"
Dust still hovered as Aya Winterbane slowly pushed herself from the catered ground. She rose to full height, eyes shaper. She stretched her hand forward--not in defense, but in declaration. From her palm, a shimmering blade of crystalline ice began to form, but it pulsed with something deeper...a tether of fractured dimensions. The air fractured, reality glitching at the edges.
Aya Winterbane:
(Calm, cutting)
"You wanted proof. I'll give you collapse. Slash Rift--Release.
Withh a swing of her blade, rift tore open across the arena edges--glowing scars in reality. Each cut wasn't just spatial--it was dimensional distortion, portals flickering between timelines, some showing stars long dead, others revealing empty voids. Section of the arena disappeared mid swing. Glyphs fluttered into silence. Even light hesitated to continue its path. Rex took a step back instinctively, eyes wide as one of the rifts nearly brushed his arm.
Rex Noir:
(Shocked, defensive)
"What the hell--what is that?"
As Aya's Slash Rift ability tore dimensional layers, the air distorted into glowing fractures. Space-time tried to collasped--but the arena absorbed it, warped it, and thrummed. Emperor Azrael Star leaned forward, his voice grave.
Emperor Azrael:
(Questioning)
"Isn't this against Tournament regulations? She's destabilizing reality itself."
But Emperor Restu Kasumi was already standing. Hands calmly folded behind his back.
Emperor Restu Kasumi:
(With eternal composure)
"No. This realm is infinite--it sits beyond space and time. Even if something is destroyed, I can restored it effortlessly. Krynn exist in a sealed dimension. As it separated from universes and time has no hold here nor space. Let her break what she needs."
Empress Asuna:
(Softly, proud)
"Aya Winterbane...you've evolved beautifully."
Aya stepped forward, slicing another tear through the air. And then she spoke.
Aya Winterbane:
(Ice-cold)
"Let your arrogance meets the void."
She slashed twice--Rifts spiraled. Rex dodged narrowly, rolling through one temporal fracture--his coat grazed by ice flame. He countered, launching beams of chaotic attacks toward her. Aya didn't flinch. She raised her blade...and drew a single glowing line across the air. In that instant, hundreds of radiant beams burst Outward--pure light guided by dimensional vectors, shooting towar Rex From all angles. Rex was struck multiple times mid--air, grunting as he twisted through the shockwaves. At the Astral Seats.
Void ling:
(Smirked)
"She can bend reality like paper... that's Slash Rift mastery."
Blaze Vortex:
(Laughed)
"A line for her... a swarm for him. That's precision cruelty."
Seraphina Nyx:
(Soft)
"She can draw a line in her blade to create countless attacks?... that insane."
Celestina:
(Laughing)
"She is cooler than Blaze."
Glacior:
(Pissed)
"Will you guys be quiet and watch the fight?"
Takashi:
(Laughed sweat)
"This isn't gonna be well for you Glacior...Celestina is pissed already."
BLAZE SMILED AND VOID LING JUST SMIRKED.
