"There's something really special about this particular tournament though: random magical events can occur at any time to keep our fighters on their toes! There are lots of kinds of events that can happen, such as fireballs, ice attacks, lightning strikes, and many others. What kind of event will appear next? We won't know unless it happens! It's all part of the fun."

The crowd laughed along with the announcer, but there was something they weren't laughing about. They were nervous; the thought of a sudden magical attack was very frightening...

* * *

With everyone now in the thick of the fray, the first random event occurred: the arena began to shake violently. The entire structure creaks and groans as it shakes, but the competitors don't care. They each continue fighting, even though it's become more difficult to move around.

The shaking lasts only a short while before it stops suddenly. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief, until...

"...Is that..." Prince Rowan says from his position near the stage.

Everyone turns toward the prince, who points up and shouts, "Look at the ceiling!"

The roof of the arena collapses, sending debris falling through the air. Most of it misses the competitors - but some falls directly on top of R136A1.

"Ahhhhh!" R136A1 screams in pain. His armor is destroyed, along with several bones. He staggers to his feet, clutching his mangled arm. "[Scud] this!"

He starts running towards the center of the arena.

* * *

R13 is, as they say, having a rough time of it. He takes another damage and is now at 3 HP... but what is it that he's about to do at the center of the arena?

Crimson Falcon jerks awake. Shoot! He'd fallen asleep.

The Crimson Falcon flies high in the air, observing the arena. He shoots a fireball at Porterion.

The next competitor entered: The Crimson Falcon flies high in the air, observing the arena. He shoots a fireball at Porterion.

Porterion ducks underneath the attack, then places an illusionary barrier in front of the dragon.

"That was close!" he exclaims. "But I'm still here, aren't I?"

The Crimson Falcon continues firing blasts from his wings, causing Porterion to retreat further into the arena.

You have missed!

(By the way, you mixed Nameless's character up with mine)

Still invisible, I rush down the stairs to see what's down there.

Orchids, here I come.

Still invisible, Kugijk'ran rushes down the stairs to see what's down there.

She spots R136A1 running toward the center of the arena, where the other wizards were just standing. She decides to follow him and get herself involved in the fight.

"Hey!" she calls out. "Over here!"

R136A1 stops, looking up. He recognizes her voice, and smiles. "Hello, Kugijk'ran."

"Come join me!" she says, hurrying over to the edge of the arena.

R136A1 follows her, and they stand together at the edge of the stage.

"Now it's time for both of us to shine!" Kugijk'ran declares. "Let's show these idiots how it's done!"

They jump off the stage together.

An unlikely alliance!

And... uhh... stage?

Annoyed by the Crimson Falcon’s attack, Porterion unveils one of his most potent techniques: using his powers of illusion, he launches a spell towards the Crimson Falcon that causes his greatest fears to come to life.

Annoyed by the Crimson Falcon’s attack, Porterion unveils one of his most potent techniques: using his powers of illusion, he launches a spell towards the Crimson Falcon that causes his greatest fears to come to life.

The Crimson Falcon's worst nightmares appear before him: the skeletons of his parents, the death of his friend Jodie, and his fear of spiders.

"Die!" he roars. "You [redacted]!"

The Crimson Falcon's emotions are so powerful that the specter of his greatest fears become real. It tears away at him, wearing him down bit by bit.

* * *

It works, though it doesn't seem to damage them directly.

Porterion: +1 EXP

The Dragon, annoyed by the resilience of Porterion, summons a pillar of flame ontop of Porterion.

The Dragon, annoyed by the resilience of Porterion, summons a pillar of flame ontop of Porterion.

"Come on!" the Dragon crows. "Can you take that?! If not, then [redacted] off!"

Porterion laughs, and launches a counterattack. This time, however, he creates a shield made of pure energy.

The fire melts against the force field, then breaks apart and dissipates.

The two opponents stare each other down, waiting for an opening to strike.

Ineffective, for now...

Looks like the AI likes Porterion a lot.

And swear words

R136A1 uses his transmutation to create a shield around himself to protect from any attacks.

He looks around to find that no one else is moving. No one has even tried to attack him yet.

R136A1 isn't sure why everyone is hesitant to attack. He doesn't understand the rules, so he assumes that, like in The Wizard of Oz, if he waits long enough, someone will be forced to attack him. He wonders whether the others know that too, or perhaps they simply haven't realized that the rules are different here than in the other arenas.

Either way, R136A1 is content to wait for his moment.

...I guess it worked

Yes, that is a thing that happens in The Wizard of Oz. How could anyone not remember that part from The Wizard of Oz?

Prince Rowan summons a mess of plants that grow up and around him, protecting him and his bird from attack, the poisonous vines ready to strike at anybody that comes too close.

Prince Rowan summons a mess of plants that grow up and around him, protecting him and his bird from attack, the poisonous vines ready to strike at anybody that comes too close.

The three remaining wizards all watch their opponent carefully.

"Why hasn't anyone attacked yet?" Rowan asks, worried. "It's been almost five minutes since our last battle started."

"Maybe they're waiting for an opening," Lady Karina suggests.

"In that case, we need to make one ourselves," Rowan says.

His eyes focus on the arena floor, where Porterion and R136A1 are still locked in combat.

"Porterion, can you break through his shield?" Rowan asks.

"I'll try my best," Porterion replies. "But it's going to be difficult."

Rowan nods. "Then let's give him something to think about, shall we? I'll send my vines to help him."

Lady Karina and Prince Rowan release more of their vines to attack Porterion.

"What are you doing?!" Porterion yells. "Don't you want to fight him?"

"We don't have to kill him," Rowan explains. "But if we defeat him, then he'll stop attacking you."

Porterion relaxes slightly, but remains cautious as the vines wrap themselves around him.

* * *

I...

...I really hope you have a plan here.

And by you I mean Rowan.

Junior I moves to summon a shield around himself.

"Wait!" R136A1 calls out to him. "I've got this!"

R136A1 pulls a dagger from his pocket, then throws it at Junior I's feet.

"That should distract him," R136A1 tells Porterion, who has just finished his own shield spell. "After all, Junior I has no defense against magical weapons."

Porterion nods. "Good idea."

With the distraction, R136A1 figures that he's now in prime position to attack.

So R136A1 leaps forward, launching a flurry of kicks into Junior I's chest.

Junior I manages to block the first few strikes, but R136A1 continues to press his advantage, forcing Junior I to back away.

R136A1 keeps kicking until he lands a blow on Junior I's face, which sends him flying backwards.

"[REDACTED]!" Junior I curses.

The two combatants fall to the ground, with R136A1 on top of Junior I.

"Hah!" R136A1 laughs. "You didn't see that coming, did you?"

R136A1 leans over and puts his hand on Junior I's throat.

"I'm going to kill you," R136A1 says. "And when I do, I'm gonna feed your heart to the ants."

Junior I groans. His body starts to shake uncontrollably.

"Do you surrender?" R136A1 asks.

Junior I nods. "Yes."

R136A1 lets go of Junior I. Junior I falls to the ground, coughing and gasping.

* * *

...?

Junor I: -1 HP

R13: +1 XP

Kabal thrusts his power of kaboom into the ground in an attempt to tunnel beneath the arena floor.

There's a loud clang as Kabal hits the ground, knocking him unconscious.

Tao flies down to check on the fallen wizard. "Are you okay?"

Kabal wakes up and shakes his head. "No, I'm not okay. My whole body hurts."

Tao kneels next to him. "Can you stand?"

Kabal tries to get up, but he stumbles and falls to the ground again.

"This isn't good," Tao says. "If you can't use your powers, then you won't be able to help us."

"How am I supposed to fight without my magic?" Kabal moans. "I feel useless right now."

"Well, there is one thing you could do," Tao says. "Take out your sword. It's enchanted with the power of healing."

Kabal looks down at his hands.

"We have to help each other," Tao continues. "So let me cast a spell on you so you can recover your strength, then we can both use our swords to fight."

Kabal nods. "Okay, I think I can manage that."

Tao kneels next to Kabal and casts a healing spell on his leg. Kabal feels the pain subside immediately after the spell is complete, and he stands up straight.

"Wow. That was amazing." Kabal takes a step forward.

"Let's go!" Tao shouts. "Go get them!"

He and Kabal rush towards the other three wizards together.

* * *

Looks like you did it?

Who the heck is Tao?

And... I guess you have a magic healing sword now?
