## Show

Zetterburn: Good evening everyone! I am Aetherian Tournament Official Zetterburn, and welcome to the ABBL arena for the Grand Royale Championship pay-per-view! This will be a yearly pay-per-view that acts as a season finale. 16 competitors will be divided into 4 battle royale battles. The winners of the 4 battles will compete in one more royale for a chance to have a flag featuring their picture and name hanging from the ceiling of this brand new arena forever, along with the honor of being that year's Grand Royale Champion! I will now go to the commentator booth as Alveius and Weluos take to the mics.

Alveius: Good evening everyone! Welcome to the Grand Royale Championship, our biggest show of the year! I cannot wait and I am excited! Are you, Weluos?

Weluos: I can feel the hype, I am ready to get this underway!

Alveius: So Zetterburn, this will be a yearly competition you say. How will this work next year when there are more than 16 competitors?

Zetterburn: Yeah so the champion at the time of next year's show and tonight's GR champion are two guaranteed spots for next year's GRC. Yesterday, we have started logging individual wins by the competitors. The top 14 that aren't the champion or the GR champion will fill out the rest of the slots.

Weluos: So how would everyone be guaranteed to perform in enough shows to climb that ladder?

Zetterburn: Names will be drawn the Friday before every show and those competitors will compete that week

Alveius: I'm sure you should get ready for your round 4 fight, so we will let you go as we kick off this show with round 1, who is Ranno, Wrastor, Zerra, and Screechheart!

Ranno def. Wrastor, Zerra, and Screechheart

Weluos: An impressive show of skill from the usually peacemaking Ranno!

Alveius: His ninjalike skills really came through for him tonight and clenched him the first slot in the Grand Royale match!

Weluos: Round 2 is the champion Orcane, Ori and Sein, Kragg, and Absa!

Kragg def. Orcane, Ori and Sein, and Absa

Alveius: Kragg made quick work of his opponents in this royale!

Weluos: Kragg seems to have grown more powerful as of late. It is no surprise that he earned a spot in the Grand Royale!

Alveius: Round 3 is Sylvanos, Forsburn, Shovel Knight, and Maypul!

Shovel Knight def. Sylvanos, Forsburn, and Maypul

Weluos: Shovel Knight just SWEEPED through the other 3 opponents!

Alveius: He is too powerful for his own good, it's already a given he may walk out GR champion!

Weluos: Round 4 is Elliana, Clairen, Etalus, and Zetterburn!

Clairen def. Elliana, Etalus, and Zetterburn

Alveius: A highly UNEXPECTED result!

Weluos: I did not see Clairen winning that match, but she put up a good fight!

Alveius: Now the moment you all have been waiting for! Round 5, the clash between Ranno, Kragg, Shovel Knight, and Clairen is upon us!

Weluos: Who will walk away Grand Royale Champion?

Shovel Knight def. Ranno, Kragg, and Clairen

Alveius: OUR INAUGURAL GR CHAMPION IS SHOVEL KNIGHT!

Weluos: I do not agree with that! Shovel Knight is too powerful for everyone else! It's not a fair fight!

Alveius: it is official, Shovel Knight's flag is being pulled up to the ceiling.

Weluos: It was a great show, see you all next week as we kick off season 2!
