Before The Tourney
In the colorful Capitol City of Unia Land, a rather prestigious Tournament of Strength & Skill was on the verge of beginning.
The waiting line leading into the dome-shaped Greymeyer Arena were long.
The pre-Tourney tickets were sold out.
And most of the combatants were inside the Participant Lobby, awaiting their chance to enter the ring. The few who aren't are enjoying the commodities of the
Confession Stand.From comfortable padded sittings to delicious foods and desert, this was the perfect place for scrafing up some nourishment before and after an intense match. And speaking of intense matches... one was well underway, but it had nothing to do with fighting.
Almost every Combatant in the Stand room watched with keen interest as a small Angelic Monster and a massive Pigman was attempting to out-eat one another.The Angelic Creature was a completely white-gray, athletic Being with simple facial features, no finger or tone nails, soft, cottony hair that completely matches their skin tone, and colorful, childish clothing befitting their docile appearance.
The Pigman was a muscular, stocky brute,
with bright pink skin, a wrinkled, ugly face,a stylish red mohawk, and a rugged outfit consisting of a dark blue jean jacket, tight matching pants, and Dragon-leather boots.
So far, the Pigman seems unbeatable.
Every platter of ice cream,donuts,corndogs, and other edibles was consumed almost instantly through the use of his nebulous,tusked mouth.
Meanwhile, the Being ate at an almost leisurely pace, allowing each meal to be enjoyed to it's entirety before finishing.
The great Beastly fellow's victory should be assured...except that the unassuming Creature did not slow down once since their contest have started.
As gluttonous as the Pigman is, his belly was being pushed to it's limits, the inner walls of his gut almost swelling with the food he has devoured.
Due to this fact, his rapid gobbling have been reduced to strained swallows.
The onlookers have taken notice of this surprising fact and let their opinion on the eat-off be known."Looks like the ol' Road Hog is finally on the ropes,"
a chuckling middle-aged Hue Man warrior clad in heavy gray armor sitting in a nearby chair.
"Thought I'd never see the day."
"And from a slender child, no less,"
commented a spear-weilding Lizardman, looking at the Road Hog's bulbous belly.
"He'll never live this down."
"I'll live this down all right,"
grunted the disgruntled Pigman, popping the last of a pepperoni pizza in his maw,
"because I'll win, just like I have before.
Even the great Kaiser Kadr can't outlast my stomach!""You're not foolin' anyone,Hoggy,"
challenged a chubby Mouseman, munching on a peanut butter cookie.
"Look at yourself- your belt is on the edge of breaking itself under the strain of your bulging belly.Not to mention that Soul looks like they haven't even started!"
The diminutive Animal-like fellow's words rang true; while the Monster Soul have not eaten nearly as quickly as the Road Hog has, they have consumed more than 20 plates of foods and snacks and doesn't even has the slightest increase in tummy size.Soul appears to have never eaten at all, while the Pigman is now struggling to finish even a plate of pizza.
"Shut up, Herold,"
the Road Hog snapped,weakly grabbing a thick slice from the half-eaten disc of cheese, breading, and meat toppings.
