Mara looked up to the ambassador suite as her match was announced. She and Hinawa stepped confidently into the arena. Obi rose to his feet to ardently root for his team from the captain suite, and Beni, with a subtle smile at Obi's love for his team, whistled for the 8th's lieutenants.
"Please you two, have some class." Hibana condescended.
Beni rolled his eyes. Hibana wouldn't know class if it bit her in the ass.
"You're goin' down, Princess." Obi taunted.
"And.... Begin!" The announcer boomed across the arena.
The two gravel guys representing Company 5 took one look at Mara's glowing eyes and fell to their knees with their hands up. "WE FORFIT!"
"WHAT???" Hibana roared from the captain's suite as the crowd booed.
Mara glanced again to the Ambassador room. Her fury blazed. "Cowards! Stand up. Fight, you pathetic little shits."
"Their lives will be hell for months for disgracing us like this-" Hibana spat.
Beni stood, stepped to the corner of the suite, snapped the wooden post that held up the canopy, ripped some of the cloth, and flew to the center of the ring. He extinguished his makeshift matoi "Are you still looking for an opponent, Lieutenant?"
The crowd was silent. Mara bowed. "Yes. Thank you, captain."
The screeching around you made you cover your ears. But you couldn't help but smile, tearing up as their match began.
She blasted craters into the earth of the arena. The one two stories deep that Beni only scarcely dodged sparked an entertained smile on his lips. "Good-" He praised. "Almost had me."
Beni caught one of her spikes between his fingertips an inch from his forehead and launched it back at her before it could detonate. "Shit." She barely dodged. "Did you stop its detonation?" She yelled to her opponent.
"Nah, just delayed it a bit." He called back as he snapped a small explosion at her feet, forcing her back. He launched the matoi at her as a flaming spear, but she caught it, and with a quick twist in of her on flames, took to the sky.
"YEEESS!!" Obi cheered. Hibana was speechless. Burns leaned forward.
Beni smirked as he ran from her, stepping out of his shoes before he kicked through a forward ariel, launched himself off the ground.
"WOOO!!" You screeched from the stands, jumping up and down in giddy excitement. Beni took a brief detour to fly by the lieutenant stands, winking at you with a click of his tongue.
"You done flirting, captain?" Mara yelled. He blasted himself towards her. "Shit-" She backflipped down in a dive. Their chase was a firework display for the fans, small explosions combusting around the arena. Until Beni finally took control of the flames of her matoi, burnt it up, and safely grounded her. He hovered in front of her before extinguishing his flames. She bowed. "Thank you."
He bowed in return. "Thank you for the match." As he turned, he mumbled "Where the hell are my shoes..."
"Alright folks, we're going to take a quick break to try to clean up after that incredible match up. We'll be back with the 7th vs the 3rd. We've seen Captain Shinmon in action, now let's see what his team can do!"
The 3rd made their way down the unlit stairs at the opposite side of the arena. Isaac walked past the shrouded figure, unphased. "You are to burn her. Whatever the cost."
"Yes, yes, we know." Isaac rolled his eyes.
He pulled a small jar from his long cloak. "No. I don't think you do." Isaac's eyes widened. The shrouded man turned to the other lieutenant "You've been offered this gift from the Evangelist. It is an honor to be called to her."
