## Show

(Zetterburn) Welcome all to Frozen Fortress for the season premiere of Aetherian Tournament! Now I have 2 announcements. One will disappoint many, the other will surely excite everybody. I will start with the disappointing announcement first. Shovel Knight is unfortunately no longer with us. He has stated that his goal was to make history, and he did just that at Grand Royale, and that was enough for him. He thanks us for his time here and the opportunity he was given, and he thanks his fans in the crowd and at home. He has returned to his home. Now for the big announcement. A debut! She served as a link between the dead and the living, guiding the spirits of the Ice Barrens' very own Harbour Guard.

Etalus' ears perk, knowing exactly who it is as he gives a nod of approval, rears up onto his rear paws, and claps his front paws

(Zetterburn) I see Etalus already knows who I am talking about! She is the champion of the dead, gaining her powers from the spirits she led home. Etalus, who are we introducing tonight?

Etalus: VALKYRIE!

(Zetterburn) That's right! The Large Medium, Valkyrie, will make her debut tonight in round 1's finale against Wrastor!

Alveius: I can feel the excitement already, and you could tell from the very minute Zetterburn began to describe her that Etalus knew EXACTLY who was making her debut tonight!

Weluos: Well of course he would know, they worked together for the longest time before the Harbor Guard scattered after their defeat by the Black Ice.

Alveius: Let's get to tonight's action with Elliana and the Ori/Sein duo!

Elliana def. Ori and Sein

Weluos: Mech beats magical spirit!

Alveius: Elliana wasted no time unleashing all of the contraptions in her mechsuit against Ori and Sein. She came in powerful and left the same way!

Weluos: Etalus and Kragg are next!

Etalus def. Kragg

Alveius: Etalus came in like a tank!

Weluos: He's invigorated because a good friend he hasn't seen in a long time is making her debut tonight. He faultered a few times, but he quickly turned things around each time and came out on top.

Alveius: Screechheart and Ranno are next!

Ranno def. Screechheart

Weluos: Screechheart did not stand a chance!

Alveius: Ranno came in swinging rediculously fast, and the nimble Screechheart just could not keep up!

Weluos: It is now time ladies and gentlemen! Valkyrie makes her debut against Wrastor next!

Valkyrie def. Wrastor

Alveius: Valkyrie came in strong on her debut match!

Weluos: That walrus has incredible power! I can see a strong career in her future!

Alveius: Round 2 begins with Elliana and Etalus!

Etalus def. Elliana

Weluos: Etalus barreled through Elliana like she was a tin can!

Alveius: He fell victim to her arsenal several times, but he had the strength to overcome those obstacles and prevailed in the end.

Weluos: Ranno and Valkyrie close out round 2!

Valkyrie def. Ranno

Alveius: Valkyrie absolutely FLATTENED Ranno! Orcane wouldn't stand a chance against her if she defeats Etalus!

Weluos: That match is next! Don't go nowhere!

The two competitors shake flipper and paw, and high five each other before moving to their sides.

Valkyrie: I won't go easy on you just because of our friendship, old friend.

Etalus: I wouldn't expect you to. I won't go easy on you either.

Valkyrie: So we agree then.

Valkyrie def. Etalus

Valkyrie helps him up

Valkyrie: No hard feelings?

Etalus: None at all.

Alveius: Reiterating what you said earlier Weluos, what INCREDIBLE power!

Weluos: I'm calling it right now, she's gonna be champion!

Orcane vs: Valkyrie

Valkyrie def. Orcane

Alveius: CHAMPION ON HER DEBUT NIGHT!

Weluos: SIMPLY OVERPOWERED! THIS IS JUST UNFAIR!

Alveius: See you next week!
