The Aces are a bunch of humans and creatures with mastery of more than one talent and power. Whether that talent's associated with magic, fighting, life, music, you name it! At the age of 16, one is tested to see if they're fit to be an Ace. They should master at least two powers. If they succeed, they're an Ace. If they fail, they can be an Ace at any time if they master two or more powers. Even though Aces are powerful at more than one power, that doesn't mean others can have more than one power. And even so, Aces are somewhat uncommon in the world.

It is currently late Spring, and raining only a bit. Clouds are covering the sun so there's barely light in the sky. Almost 6:00 PM. Shops, bars, and others are closing early for the day. The largest city, Erio, is having a tournament for Aces to join and compete against other Aces. Admission is free.

Furia didn't bother joining the tournament. It was optional, anyways. They did, however, decide to watch. It was fun seeing others fight.

Chloe sat waiting for the tournament to start. She didn't sign up, but Chloe decided to at least watch. She tugged at her beanie and reflected light off her ax as she waited.

Mozuku looked around the huge town of Erio. She noticed a tournament going on, and decided to watch. She didn't know about Aces, but she decided that she isn't one. She found an empty seat nearby Chloe and sat there. Mozuku was so excited that she couldn't contain herself.

Furia noticed Mozuku in front of them, squirming like a worm.
"Doesn't she look like a squid? Am I seeing things?" They squinted, making sure their glasses aren't broken.
"Doesn't look like I am! That's a living squid outside the water!

Darrien scowled as she entered the area for the tournament. She clutched her staff close to her as she took a seat beside someone who seemed more intent of the squid like girl who sat before them.

Quickly Darrien glanced at the one next to her briefly observing them before she turned her attention the the ring.

Soon, the first fight began with a 16-year-old Half-Fox Half-Falcon boy hybrid challenging against a 20-year-old man. The eldest starts with creating ice spears behind him and shooting towards the boy. The boy then stomps on the ground below him and the ground below and around him shook. Then he quickly waved his hands, and fire was in front. The icicles quickly melted due to the heat.
"Not bad." The young boy said, and the other one used his other Ace attack which was using a bow. However, he shot three arrows at once towards him.

"Nice! I've barely seen an Ace who masters weapons!" Furia smiled.

"Yeah! Go! Go!" Mozuku jumped and squrimed in her seat, she was cheering for them.

Flint found a seat near a corner and sat down. He never bothered to join the tournaments, he supposed that they were probably quite stressful. He wouldn't have bothered to watch either, but decided he had nothing else to do except to watch the tournament. He looked around and caught sight of Furia and Chloe, but simply turned back to watch the fight that was going on.

The fight won with the 16-year-old winning.
"Good job!" He said. Now it's time for the second match.

This time it was a falcon and a cat. But how are they-
...
Both of them transformed into an elf and an agender shapeshifter. It was a fight between them. The elf transformed into their falcon form and rushed towards the shapeshifter. But they started to create an illusion of themselves in front of the elf, while running away from the elf.

((Basically, as they moved away, the shapeshifter used an illusion of themselves at a decoy, and the elf is flying towards the illusion.))

"Hmm... Looks like it's a fight between a bird of prey and a shapeshifter. Wonder what the shapeshifter is planning. Perhaps they're going to distract the elf while they are away from them?" Furia said curiously.

Mozuku was suprised to see both of them shapeshift.
"Strange! It's so confusing..."

Chloe watched carefully. She hoped the elf would win. Chloe was never fond of cats. However, she doubted the elf would win, based on the shape shifter's tactics.

Darrien watched the fight with half-closed eyes. She found she wasn't very fond of this current fight, although she did note the illusions that the shifter created.

Nodding carefully the hybrid smiled to herself slowly bring more drawn into the fight. Leaning in her seat, but she wasn't nearly as eager as those around her.

@nightmaremoon12 @pitch1226 @ushafuse @thebrokenvibe [It's a bit long, but I hope you guys enjoy the read.]

~~~

Vladan cracked his knuckles slowly--in a manner probably considerably way too patient for his current situation. This wasn't the first tournament he had ever entered in, and it certainly wouldn't be the last. Most other contestants had simple powers that he could absolutely destroy. Teleportation, elemental control and the usual magic usage. None of that mattered him, he was a brute and completely immune to most, if not all the pain that they tried to inflict on him.

It didn't matter what power they had if they couldn't hurt him. Nothing stopped him until death, and he wasn't planning on dying any time soon. Not only that--he was backed up with his second form(once he couldn't handle what was happening in his human form anymore) that is. This competition would no doubt lead to another victory--all he'd seen all day were small contestants that he could easily snap in half if he dual formed.

He smiled slyly as he was released into the arena once the previous match between the elf and shapeshifter had ended. Vladan strode in, his slit-eyes glaring across the stadium at his opponent. The man had a simple wooden spear in his right hand and he knelt slightly, casually awaiting his enemy to make the move first. She was a small woman, but though she was petite, she gave off a unique aura of power. Vladan edged closer, and noticed that she wasn't armed with anything but a small shield. He assumed that she was a defensive player, probably someone used to tiring the enemy down in long, extremely drawn out fights.

Vladan edged closer to her, calling out loudly over the cheering of the spectating crowd. "Come at me!" He yelled. "I'm here to fight, not to stand around uselessly like you!" The second the words had left his mouth, he leaped savagely at his opponent, snarling openly as he jabbed at the woman.

It was then that she mad her move. A quick smile upturned her lips when Vladan made the first, impatient dash, and she easily knocked aside his weapon with a simple hit of her shield. Once the weapon was out of his grip, she turned to face him, fire spilling from her open palm. A pyromancer, Vladan noticed--far too late. She sent a bolt of searing flames towards him, and it hit him straight on his bare arms, leaving bright red burn streaks on his biceps. It threw him back, and tossed him to the ground. "I am NOT going to lose this." He angrily muttered to himself.

The man made to stand, but was thrown back into a wall as shards of ice materialized and were tossed towards his figure. Vladan managed to dodge one of them, but the other two hit their marks. One impaled him on the leg, and the other inches deep into his shoulder. Anger rushed in his veins as his warm blood flowed freely from his open wounds.

"Who's useless now?" The female ace cried out arrogantly, taunting him as she formed a brightly colored ball of flame that split into two pillars shaped like dragons. Vladan used this moment of hesitation to fight back. She was busy materializing her fire into drakes, in an attempt at a flashy finish--and that would be her downfall.

"You are--!" His second word was cut off in a gigantic roar as he grew significantly in size, his skin shifting into sable scales tipped in beautiful argent designs. A pair of large leather wings began at the base of his shoulders, and his fingers grew out to form large smokey claws. The woman's once fiery dragons seemed absolutely trifling compared to Vladan's true form--considerably larger than her and effectively a lot more frighteningly beautiful than the show she had been trying to put on. He backhanded the woman into the wall of the coliseum, roaring magnificently in the process. "Try fighting me now!" Vladan bellowed. Once the woman had regained her senses, she attempted to throw a fire-blast at him, but it was swallowed by Vladan's return fire--a pillar of black flame straight from his jaws of death.

She was thrown to the ground, completely unable to get up due to the pain of her fresh burn wounds. Vladan glanced out towards the audience--if they wanted a show, he would give them a show. With a glorious roar, he spewed flames into the sky, the black blaze lighting up the entire arena.

Chloe stared in awe. She had NOT expected that last part. Chloe tried not to focus on the blood, but she found herself looking at it anyway. She licked her lips. Shaking her head, Chloe focused back on the action.

Furia was yelling internally at the fight.
"A dragon! You're kidding me, right?!" Furia whispered to themselves. This was unlike anything they had seen.

Mozuku was suprised.
"Dragons? I thought this was an Ace fight, not a Dragon fight!"

"Glad I didn't join..." Furia sighed. If they won and that Ace won, they would die.

And the winner was Vladan, because the woman is literally there, unable to get up. Good game.

Vladan let the woman struggle on the ground for several long minutes, as he closed his stormy eyes--bathing in his new-found glory and the cheering of the onlookers. He sat back on his large hind legs and placed one of his clawed front paws on top of the woman. The dragon tilted his head, putting it on the ground only several feet from her struggling form.

No one had died in the competition, as the winner more often than not let the loser get away once they had claimed victory. Vladan however, wanted otherwise. He opened his jaws, his forked tongue slithering out from his dark maw and heading towards the screaming woman.

Something was going on. Furia can't do anything, or use anything to stop. The way he absorbed the fire was uncomfortable, and it's not late enough to use the shadows.

Mozuku, however, childish as she is, spit out some squid ink from her mouth towards Vladan, hoping it could get his attention. Using her hair would be a bad idea.

Vladan's rough tongue wrapped around the woman's body, and he lifted her up high up in the air for everybody to see the flailing ace. He threw up the woman, and opened his jaws to catch the woman into his mouth, when a large splotch of black liquid entered his maw--along with the woman.

The large creature coughed heavily, smoke trailing from his large nostrils. The dark liquid tasted salty, and absolutely terrible, and he hawked up the woman onto the arena floor. She was still alive it seemed, but covered in spit and splattered with the black liquid that had been spewed from the audience.

It took Vladan a few moments to recover, and he shifted back into his human form. Once the smoke and dust from the sandy ground had subsided, it was revealed that he was on the ground choking up the terrible tasting fluid.

"Well, squid ink doesn't taste that bad..." Mozuku said. It was a delicacy to taste some squid ink.
Maybe he has never tried squid ink? She thought. Although eating squid ink for her is gross.

Darrien watched as the man took in the fire and as he lifted his opponent off the ground. And something snapped inside her, her normal resolve tumbled down and she held onto her staff as she pointed it just before the man mouthing a spell and allowing a transparent barrier to form between the man and his soon to be victim.

She stood up in her chair, and prepared to step into the fray, to save the other Ace from doom. Part of her just couldn't let someone die.

Chloe sighed in disappointment. She had been looking forward to the death. "Oh, well. Maybe next time." She watched, a little disgusted as she watched the man throw up the nasty black liquid. "Ewww. That stuff looks nasty!"

Vladan got up from the floor angrily, glowering at the audience, but unable to tell where the strange black ooze had flown from. It was too much of a hassle to shift forms once again, and he allowed the medics to rush into the arena and pick up and take the woman away on a stretcher.

He was escorted out of the arena, and Vladan stood silently as the shards of ice were manually pulled out of his body. The doctors treated his burn wounds carefully, occasionally giving him fearful sideways glances--as they had watched and seen the fight, and the woman he had wreaked havoc on was near dead.

Mozuku looked at Chloe with an angry look.
"It's squid ink! Haven't you heard of squid ink before?! Geez. Some squidding people probably haven't tried it on pasta. I wouldn't bother eating it because it's squid ink!" Then she had a dumbfounded look.
"I forgot... I'm a squid."

The fourth and final round was a gunner. She was different. She looked like she has a few things other than a revolver up her sleeve. (not DFO female gunner lol It is the female gunner.)

Her opponent was a phoenix, but they look smaller.

Then the fight began, and the gunner grabbed a gatling gun from behind and began shooting at the phoenix who was flying, dodging the bullets. They then swoop down her, as she quickly grabbed her revolvers out of nowhere and starts shooting them, hoping it would distract the flaming bird for a bit.

Chloe rolled her eyes. "I'm entitled to my own opinion, thank you very much. And yes, I have HEARD of squid ink. I wouldn't want to eat it though. Give me a steak any day." Her mouth watered at the thought of it. She began to feel hungry.

"Heh?! What if I give you steak with squid ink sauce topped with your favorite sauce?!"

Furia scolded them both.
"Hey! Pay attention to the fight. This gunner is about to obliterate a bird!"

"Well, after this match, the first day of the tournament is over! This is just the first side! There's going to be another tournament, with 16 more opponents to watch and fight! I can't join, but I'll cheer everybody on!" Mozuku said, with a determined look.

Furia then went up towards Mozuku and Chloe.
"Yep. And one person that beats everybody on their sides gets to fight the other. The winners are Ikaso the Elf, Raux, the one who is Fox Falcon hybrid, Vladan, and..."

Soon after, the female gunner beated the phoenix, despite it can live seemingly forever.

"Well, that female gunner. She said she came from a faraway land, mastering four gun styles. And kicking. She's around her 20s, and is really popular! Nobody knows her name, though." Furia smiled. They seem happy talking about the tournament.
"You know what? I should join. I want to face Vladan. I don't care if it risks my life.

The tournament was over, and the nightly resturants are open. It is currently 9:36 PM.


Furia walked outside, looking at the female gunner who is seemingly crowded by a bunch of fans. They smiled and laughed.
"Heh... Poor girl. Maybe she can take care of herself?"

Mozuku yawned, and felt very exhausted.
"Good thing this town is near some water. I can visit this place as much as I want!" As she said that, she went to the edge of a bridge that the entrance of the arena was at, and fell info the water.
As Mozuku fell, she waved as she splashed into the ocean, falling asleep.

Furia went towards the sign ups where the bridge starts. There weren't anybody except one Ace in front. Luckily, there were only a few spots left. They signed up and they have joined. They then looked at Chloe.
"Hey! There's that steak building around Erio's square! It's really good and not that cheap!" Their wings were always on the entire time, and they flew towards the entrance. Furia then let their wings explode into feathers, the only way that could make their wings disappear.

Vladan made his way out of the tournament hall, cracking his neck as he moved. He had his shirt slung over his shoulder, and his tattoo was barely visible over the white bandages tied around his multiple wounds. "I need a drink." He muttered to himself--though he was a popular pick for the competition betting, he wasn't crowded like the gunner was.

Most likely, it was probably from his attitude, or maybe his arrogant, unapproachable aura.

Chloe nodded. She definitely in the mood for steak. She raced after Furia. She stopped and looked back at Vladan, wondering if she should congratulate him on his victory, but decided against it. She didn't think he would take it well, nor appreciate it. Chloe quickly turned around and call out to Furia, "Wait for me! I'm coming!" Chloe ran after them.

Darrien headed away from the tournament, shaking her head. She wanted to sign up, and had for a few years. And yet she knew she would lose control. She knew she would go too far.

She paused, unsure where to go, but decided to stick close to some people she knew at least. And so she strode over to Chloe and Furia.

"Hope you don't mind if I join you both. I don't really know anyone else to stick with." she said directing her thoughts into their minds.
