## Show

Zetterburn walks onto Julesvale's battle arena.

Zetterburn: I have... a bit of a heavy announcement to make. It has come to my attention that not many other competitors have a chance at the title because I never lose it. And that is correct. After a lot of thinking, I have made a tough decision. With a heavy heart, I will relinquish the title.

The crowds are saddened.

Zetterburn: I am not going away, however. I have been offered a position as a Tournament Official who makes the decisions, and I will occasionally compete in special matches.

The crowds cheer "Thank you Zetterburn"

Alveius: An unexpected announcement from the champion.

Zetterburn: On a brighter note, we have two brand new competitors debuting tonight, and I have the priveledge to introduce them! First is Screechheart the Bat!

Screechheart teleports out of knowhere along with his pillar, and he dashes around the field before landing, crossing his wing over his body, and bending down with a showman's bow.

Zetterburn: And introducing our sec-

Maypul: Wait wait wait, Zetterburn! I would like to introduce the next competitor!

Zetterburn: Ok...? Be my guest, Maypul.

Maypul: Introducing the coolest new competitor, my new friend Zerra!

Zerra the Rabbit skates onto the field with a trail of ice following her, doing a circle around the field, a few twirls, and back to Maypul's open arms as the newfound friends embrace and hi-five

Zetterburn: Ladies and gentlemen, Screechheart and Zerra!

Weluos: Interesting new competitors!

Alveius: On that note, welcome to Aetherian Tourmanet, coming to you live from Julesvale!

Weluos: Our new champion will be decided tonight after that unprecidented announcement from Aetherian Tournament Official Zetterburn!

Alveius: First off, both making their debuts tonight against each other, Screechheart and Zerra!

Zerra def Screechheart

Weluos: In an impressive show of skill, Zerra defeated Screechheart!

Alveius: Screechheart alsp has a disadvantage, too. He is so interconnected with the pillar that givbes him his abilities that he can feel pain when the pillar is attacked, therefore helping his opponent in the end.

Weluos: Next is Rykenburn and Wrastor!

Rykenburn def. Wrastor

Alveius: And the Smokescreen Powerhouse defeats Wrastor!

Weluos: Rykenburn is a tough opponent. I honestly would not be surprised if he becomes an undefeated champion!

Alveius: Forsburn and Maypul are next!

Forsburn def. Maypul

Weluos: And Forsburn defeated Maypul!

Alveius: He's one to watch too. You KNOW he wanted that title too. Now is his chance to obtain it.

Weluos: Next is Orcane and Sylvanos!

Orcane def. Sylvanos

Alveius: Orcane defeated Sylvanos

Weluos: An incredible victory for sure! He's not the most likely candidate by far, but could he be our next champion?

-Backstage-

Maypul: Hey Zerra, Rykenburn is a very powerful opponent, are you sure you don't want me to go in your place?

Zerra: No, don't worry about it! I gotta show the world what I can do!

Maypul: OK, but I will be cheering you on!

Zerra: Great! And thanks for being my first true friend!

Maypul: No problem! Good luck!

Zerra: Thanks!

-Arenaside-

Alveius: Next, kicking off round 2 is Zerra and Rykenburn!

Weluos: That poor little rabbit is going to get crushed!

Rykenburn def. Zerra

Alveius: And Zerra is out!

Weluos: Wait whats going on?!

Rykenburn grabs Zerra by the throat and picks her up

Rykenburn: So you think you could defeat me huh pipsqueak? You were so confident!

Zerra: P-Put me down!

Rykenburn: Let me teach you a lesson!

Rykenburn throws her to the ground and stomps on her

Alveius: What in the world?!

Rykenburn picks her up and starts repeatedly slamming his fist into her and kicking her until Maypul attacks Rykenburn

Weluos: This is unnecessary madness!

Maypul: You will not treat her like this!

Rykenburn: Get out of my way, Maypul! This fight has nothing to do with you!

Security arrives on the field

Maypul: You got me involved when you started assulting her AFTER she already lost!

The two begin to clash as security pulls them apart. As soon as Maypul calms down she's let go and she quickly runs to a dazed Zerra before getting on the ground and holding her up

Maypul: Zerra! Are you ok?!

Medical staff run over to check on her as Zetterburn runs onto the arena

Zetterburn: Rykenburn! You are indefinitely suspended!

Rykenburn: I beg to differ!

He tries to break free of security. By now 10 individuals are holding him back

Zetterburn: Get him out of here!

Zetterburn joins Maypul and medical staff as Rykenburn is removed and begins to rub Zerra's head

Zetterburn: Are you OK Zerra?

Zerra: Y-Yeah. I'm fine.

Zetterburn: Maypul, good on you for coming out here and stopping him. If it weren't for you, she may not have ended up being OK.

Zerra: Thank you, bestie.

Maypul: Anytime.

Zerra is taken for examination

Zetterburn: Maypul, I will allow you back into the tournament to fight in Rykenburn's place in Zerra's honor if you would like.

Maypul: No. Im going to make sure Zerra's taken care of.

Maypul leaves

Zetterburn: I will find a suitable replacement for Rykenburn during the next match.

Alveius: I cannot believe what just happened!

Weluos: I hope Zerra will be alright.

Alveius: Well, we must move on with the show. Forsburn and Orcane are next.

Forsburn def. Orcane

Weluos: Forsburn defeated Orcane!

Alveius: I'm telling you, he's gonna walk away champion tonight!

Weluos: We have just gotten word that Zerra is in fact OK, with luckily only minor injuries. If she doesn't quit due to Rykenburn's actions, she is cleared to compete next week

Zetterburn: I have decided on who will face Forsburn tonight for the title. Absa has agreed to replace Rykenburn!

Alveius: There we have it, Absa and Forsburn, next!

Absa def. Forsburn

Weluos: Incredible victory by Absa even under the circumstances!

Alveius: Well that is all the time we have today, see you next week at Frozen Fortress.
