After throwing the dark lord out of her room, Nox and Bluey went out on stage in their alternate personas', John Doe the tamer representing the country of Shi's tamer's guild and Cock-a-doodle-doo the blue rooster.
"You're going down loser!" The rabbit eared man with a human sized yellow sparrow sporting a mane of red fire going down the back of its neck.
He was a demi-human commonly referred to as beast-folk, who generally looks like humans, but possesses some animal characteristics like a tail or furry ears. This one in particular is known as a rabbit-man who possesses bunny ears and tail.
"Oh! Is this the part where we trash talk each other? Let me give it a try!" Nox said before pulling out a wrestling mask very similar to the one Bluey had used when he wrestled the dark lord.
"Ehem! You think that tiny little turkey is a match for my cock! Brother! My man over here is going to pound your little squeaker into mush! You won't even be able to recognize his ugly mug!" Nox said, while making a weird voice while Bluey started flexing his wings like they were biceps.
"Y-Yeah well! Screw you!" The rabbit-man stuttered out, not knowing how to respond to Nox's trash talk.
"IF THE TAMER'S WOULD PLEASE BRING THEIR BEASTS UP ON STAGE!" The announcer requested.
The arena where the fights would be taking looks much like a professional wrestling ring. It was a large square with two lines of enchanted ropes wrapped around the metal poles stationed in each corner. The rope is a type of defensive artifact that creates a transparent barrier to prevent any attacks from hitting the audience.
"ON THIS SIDE WE HAVE THUNDER EMPEROR, THE BURNING THUNDER SPARROW! ANOTHER LEGENDARY GRADE BEAST THAT IS SURE TO MAKE QUICK WORK OF HIS OPPONENTS! AND ON THE OTHER SIDE WE HAVE cock-a-doodle-do the blue chicken!" the announcer said, lowering his voice as he seemed to find screaming Bluey's stage name out loud embarrassing.
"Hey! why the biased introduction?" Nox asked from behind the ropes, feeling wronged that her energy rooster got such an underwhelming introduction.
"BEGIN!" The announcer said, ignoring Nox's complaints.
*Screech*
*Crackle*
The match began with the burning thunder sparrow spewing lightning bolts from its mouth in every which direction, turning the entire arena into a plasma lamp. However, …
*Smack*
*Sizzle*
Bluey, not affected by the lightning bolts just hopped up to the sparrow and slapped it with his wing so hard that his opponent was sent flying into the stage barrier with a wing-shaped burn on its face.
"H-Hey! Thunder emperor! Stop kidding around and get back up!" The rabbit-man said with a nervous expression, refusing to believe his legendary beast just lost to the dumbest looking beast who is also sporting the dumbest name in the history of the Kaguya-festivals.
"THE WINNER IS! JOHN DOE!" The announcer shouted.
"Hey, you need to say the name of the beast to! It's in the announcer rulebook!" Nox said, throwing a book at the announcer.
"Contestant John Doe! Please calm down, or we will have to restrain you!" One of the tournament officials said.
"Hey, screw you buddy! We worked hard for this so the least you guys could do is treat us like the other contestants, or I'm going to have to make a complaint to your boss!" Nox threatened the official who tried to calm her down.
"WOULD CONTESTENT JOHN DOE PLEASE GET OFF THE STAGE! WHAT! HEY, LET GO!"
As the announcer was requesting that Nox take Bluey an leave the stage, she rushed him and stole his enchanted microphone.
"AND THE WINNER IS ME AND COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOOO!" She screamed into the microphone as she dodged the tournament officials who tried to grab her, before she began announcing the next contestants.
It took a solid 30 minutes of dodging the pursuit of the tournament officials before Nox handed back the microphone, mostly because they threatened to disqualify her if she didn't.

Nox's POV:
"Well, that was fun! Now, let's see what that playboy's girlfriend wants with us!" I said as I opened the door to my new locker room that I had requested in secret after the playboy attack.
"Greetings, John Doe!" The black-haired lady with huge knockers said as I entered my private room.
Security here is awful. Do they let just anyone into these private rooms.
"So, what does that playboy's girlfriend want with little old me?"
"Hehe! I think you might be mistaken Sir John or can I call you, Doe?" She said in a suggestive tone.
"You can call me whatever you want if you get out of my room! Security on this dump of a rock is awful! What's the point of a private room if anyone can enter?" I complained.
"*giggle* You should watch what you say unless you want me to reveal your relationship with the dark lord to the world!" This kindhearted baby-face offered.
"You would do that?"
I have been meaning to go public about that playboy's harassment for years, but none of the rumors or books I tried to spread seemed to stick. The only thing people were interested in regarding that douche was his nudes, which I admittedly made a small fortune off of.
"Yes! So, if you don't want people to know you are g-!"
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" I said, grabbing her hands in excitement at the thought of having the public pressuring that guy into leaving me alone.
"…?"
"He has been a royal pain in my ass for years now, but nobody seemed to believe me!"
"Pain in the ass?" She repeated, flushing red in what I assume is anger at that dickhead's harassment.
"Yeah, and what's worse is he has been trying to get my son and younger brother involved in this to!"
I then spent the remainder of my break giving this reporter more details on the horrible things that playboy had done to me.
"And then *sob* after my horse exploded, *sniffle* he punched me in the face!" I sobbed, remembering how I had to pay for that horse out of pocket after getting to town.
*Knock**knock**knock*
"JOHN DOE! YOUR MATCH IS ABOUT TO START! PLEASE TAKE YOUR BEAST AND REPORT TO THE ARENA!"
"Well, it was nice talking to you reporter girl! Make sure everyone knows all the bad things that playboy did to me!" I said, before grabbing the sleeping Bluey and rushing out the door.
