It was the day when things got at the cusp of change. The air was tense and the three could only stare at the large tower bolded as Emerald gym. Mr.Caping, sending off the three with a cheerful face before they step in, left for his work. The laboured breath that Raizon was borrowing clearly signified his nervous calmness. The gates opened and the three disasters were waiting right at the crown. Hamock was at the right brim of the stage and was the only one standing. On the other hand, the previous two champions seemed quite uninterested. It's what happens when you win without a single leverage in your streak. They knew about the trio's arrival and thus the stage was set. Flam came in with his conventional trash talk "so it seems we will get a little warmed up today. Either way this studio was already getting a little boring for us".
"Keep it down Flam" Matt came in "so the rumours were true, Haus got his successor at last. The destroyer…...Huh?"
Everybody sneaked a glance at Raizon, gazing straight at his spectral charger. The emblem was clear and declarative within itself, he was among the few chosen by the destroyer.
"Well, we don't love to wait this long" Shalon came in stunning Raizon and Goan by his boldness among the champions.
The curtains fell and the floor elevated to an open terrace which was gladly dignifying a beautiful view of the city. The sun was up in the sky while the white fluffs were arching with the winds. Spectral shields were charged for protection while the trio were given their chance to choose their opponent.
"So, what's the call?" Goan came in.
"Well, we should let our planning genius take over here" Shalon came in- clearly talking about Raizon.
Raizon was already in his contemplation about the situation. He was trying to think of all the odds that could have happened. The trio even though with a contempt to win had already dived for something bigger than what they can face yet. But still the march was marched and the torch was torched. With complete analysis and reflection on all the edges of probability, Raizon was ready with his plan.
[Champion Matt please come on the ground] announcer buzzed.
It was quite interesting for the champions as the first call was for the strongest of them all. Matt was the one left to be the strongest in the group after Haus- Patt's son. But he was ready for the fight, coming out of the stands he showed himself on the ground. Waiting for his opponent who was revealed to be Goan he gave a slight smirk- that was because he sensed the plan that Raizon derived. It was simple, instead of wasting Shalon on the strongest of them all, they will try him on Flam who is the most defensive. While what's going to be left for Hamock was based on sheer luck.
[Let the match begin]
Goan stride ahead as soon as the announcer buzzed the declaration. Three Verdant bombs rolled recklessly on the ground bashed on the shield without any impact on the champion. But it was planned- the tremors stumbled Matt and that's what Goan was waiting for. Using his defence as an offence he blared his shield towards Matt's face. But null was the effect as the tremors didn't work much. Matt just swung away Goan with his hell fire dominion- a fiery flamed fist that vaporises even the coldest of supple. Goan was already stumbling on his knees with a single punch and he realised that's what the difference was. It completely obliterated his spirit but he still got up with the irritation due to the flames catching up.
"We can't win at this stage" Verdant Gorilla came in with the message
"We have to try," Goan replied, smiling in his usual cheerful way.
When the long range wasn't working the things were handled close range as the two sparred with their bare hands. Goan slides in his shield to absorb the impact but also was struggling to land a decisive blow. And that's when he felt it- the terror resonated by the fire emblem. Matt was ready to spin in the blow that would completely dismantle the verdant spectra. It was hard and harsh for any being to handle, he called it The Figure Dismantler- a deadly flood of flaming particles that burns you for several eternity…...
That was the end of the first round as Goan was completely unconscious on the ground. Shalon and Raizon in that instance knew the necessity they needed to reflect in their growth. Matt wasn't even serious and still defeated Goan in minimal attacks. And not just defeat him, but in fact completely broke his spirit with a single attack. It was nauseated and blinding for the verdant gorilla as it took a large toll on itself while recovering from the damage. Medics came in to examine the young Goan as he lay motionless on the ground. Going green reflects no severity in Goan's health, round 2 was waiting for its commencement.
"Are you okay big guy?" Raizon asked.
"I doubt that a little," Goan stuttered.
Round 2 was set and the announcer was waiting for the decision.
"So any change in plan?" Shalon buzzed in with determined eyes.
"No, it's time for our ace to go to the battlefield," Raizon explained.
[ Champion Flam is requested to enter arena]
Hamock was quite surprised with the call as nothing happening was under his understanding. But Matt knew what was happening and he knew who would be coming up for the challenge.
[Challenger name is Shalon]
The mics buzzed.
"So I will be against that weakling with no spectral energy" Hamock said "today will be an easy win".
"Well don't be so sure. Those who are awarded with the white tiger are quite characters themselves" Matt replied.
"I surely want to see what the destroyer is capable of now" Flam spoke as he stepped down for the battle.
