Normal
Wyvern: 60 HP 60 damage (dragon fist deals 80)
This is the man who won the tournament last year, and he is known as the best fighter the world has seen. His Dragon Fist and Wave Motion Cannon are a force to be reconed with, as well as his Tornado Blade Kick. The Dragon Fist is an uppercut that sends you sky high, and his tornado blade kick is a way to screw gravity and helecopter across the arena with a ton of kicks. Lastly his trademarked Wave Motion Cannon is a blast of wind and lightning at you.
Masters: 90 HP 60 damage
Masters is Wyvern's childhood rival and blond-haired friend. He is very egotistical and uses the same moveset as Wyvern, so some could say that he is on the same level as Wyvern, but that isn't true and even he knows that. He shares every move with Wyvern.
Detective Chun: 100 HP 60 damage (40 if she speeds up her attacks)
This fighter is a detective from INTERPOL and has gone through detective training. She wears a blue Chinese qipao with maroon stockings. Detective Chun fights with a special fighting style taught to her by a demon, and she too has her own set of moves. She can fire a slow ranged attack similar to the Wave Motion Cannon, and can enhance her kicks to super speeds. She mainly fights using her legs, although she is strong with her fists and may use them if need be. She can speed up her attacks, striking in rapid succession, quickly piling up damage.
Cam: 120 HP 90 damage
Cam is one of Detective Chun's best friends. While what she is wearing may show a little more than you would feel comfortable with in battle, and hugs her a little too much she is not to be taken lightly. Her legs and fists alike are extremely powerful, and she can surround her legs with green energy to produce her Cannon Drill, and jump up in the air for a backflip kick the Cannon Upper, and she knows many different pressure points and will try to paralyze you in battle if she hits you in one. If she hits your pressure point within the fight the next attack will hit because you'll be paralyzed.
Hibiki: 180 40 dmg
Kick his arse. Hibiki is the worst fighter alive and won't take any effort to beat. He uses a messed up version of Wyvern and Masters's moves, and he even wears a pink version of their gi. Hibiki is just... Useless. He will taunt every once and a while. Demolish him.
Mike Bison: 240 HP 60 damage
This guy is very similar to the world's own Mike Tyson. He fights like a boxer and is wearing a boxer's outfit. He uses no special moves, and just punches the ever living crap out of you.
Vega: 300 HP 80 damage
This man is a narcissist. No I mean narcissist beyond all narcissists. He even hides his face beyond a mask just because the world isn't worthy enough to see his beautiful face. He uses a wolverine claw glove thing On his left hand, and is a master acrobat. Flying around the arena with precision this man attacks with grace yet viciously.
Strong
Tagas: 360 HP 80 damage (fireballs deal 60)
(semi-boss)Tagas is the king. He fights with EXTREMELY powerful moves. He can throw fireballs and punch with the force to crack brick walls, it's obvious why he is the champion for every year except last year, when Wyvern beat him. He fights with the Muai Thai fighting style. He stands at over 7 feet tall, most of this being his extremely long legs.
Vega: 420 HP 60 damage
Vega is the evil ruler of an elite orginization meant to take over the planet. He wears an all red version of what would look like a colonel's outfit, with a purple hat and cape to accompany it. Vega can jump extremely high, and can summon purple fire from his hands and surround his entire body in it. Using his fire he can do many different attacks and with great speed. Plus he has even better health than Tagas.
Boss
Kouken: 480 HP 90 damage
The master of Wyvern and Masters, he is not really that much of a fighter as he used to be as a teen, although he can still kick some arse. He uses the same movesets as Masters and Wyvern.
Demon: 240 HP 80 (100 for super moves) damage
After you beat Kouken (if you decide to face him) Demon will appear. He will throw Kouken aside and will prepare for battle. As his soul was sold to a demon to gain maximum power, his strength is immense but at the cost of his vitality. He uses an upgraded version of Masters and Wyvern's movesets, being able to use the Wave Motion Cannon in the air, use the Dragon Fist and Helicopter Blade Kick, as well as his own moveset. He can teleport short distances and use the Demon Flip, when he jumps into the air and demonic energy surrounds his foot and kicks downward. Unlike everyone else in this tournament, Demon fights to kill, seeing everyone who loses a fight to him as unworthy to live on this earth. Another thing that's different with him- he has special moves. These techniques will be used on the second post of his match, and one is the Ultra Wave Motion Cannon, when he fires a great purple energy beam at you, and the second will be the Punch of Death, when he punches the ground (or you into the ground) with the force to make a giant crater in the ground.
Reward: 15,000 Jewel. Tournament Trophy.
Sarah had been leaving a bar in Timbermere Valley when something flew into her face, and she fell down. After recomposing herself, Sarah read the flier. She couldn't pass up the chance at a good fight, so she packed a few outfits, and made her way to Talonia. Entering the arena for the first time was something new for Sarah. She had never been in an actual arena. Up until this point, she had only ever fought while on jobs. Fighting in an arena, with rules was something that she wasn't really expecting, but the idea excited her. For once, she would be able to participate in a proper fighting tournament, and she wasn't about to pass up the opportunity.
"Alright, Sarah, you can do this."
She told herself this as she walked over to the reception desk.
"Hi, I'm here to sign up for the tournament on this flyer."
Showing the flier to the receptionist, she nervously announced herself.
"I'm Sarah Stone, from the Aurora guild."
The receptionist seemed to be ignoring her, and watching some drama show on the screen at her desk, but Sarah managed to get her attention by clearing her throat.
"Right, tournament. Here's your tracker, it will sync with the monitoring app in your iLac, and project your vitals on to the screen. The waiting room is through that door."
Sarah looked in the direction where the receptionist was pointing, noticing a green door, with a large burning tire sticker on it. Approaching the door, Sarah started to get a little nervous, but was able to regain her composure before entering.
Sarah found herself in a small room with a bunch of tough looking folks, and quickly found a seat before the promoter walked in.
"Alright folks, looks like we got a rookie, so let me go over the rules real quick. I don't want to see any headbutting, or crotch shots, and please, practice some level of restraint. I don't want to be mopping any of you off the floor or walls next week. So, no advanced magic, and try to refrain from killing your opponents."
He looked at a few specific fighters when reciting that last line.
"Okay, So you've all got iLacs, and Trackers. Those two things are good to have. However, we're introducing some new ideas with this tournament. First, a slight rule change. Rather than the bracketed standard, we're going to be testing our rookie by having her fight against each of you, in order of your ranked strength. Second, along with the vitals, there will be one other display screen, showing the standings for the tournament. As this new challenger fights, with every win, her rank will be updated."
This time, the promoter was looking directly at Sarah. Sarah blinked for a moment before she understood what was going on.
"W-wait a minute. You mean that I'm going to fight all of them?!"
"That's right."
"Don't you think that's a really bad idea?"
"Don't worry, kid. You'll have plenty of time to rest between fights."
"Well, if you say so."
The other fighters were busy looking at a chart during this conversation, before one of the tougher ones spoke up.
"Don't worry so much, kid. You're fighting Wyvern first. The only reason he's the champ is because none of us were participating in the last tournament."
That didn't do anything to calm Sarah's nerves. In fact, it made her more nervous. But, she had to get ready for the fight. Wyvern and the other competitors left for the arena, and Sarah took some time to recompose herself, wrap her fists, and get pumped before walking out to the arena. As she entered the pit, she saw Wyvern entering from the other side, and a woman with a microphone standing in the middle. When the two met in the middle of the pit, they shook hands. As the announcer signaled for the fight to begin, and exited the pit, Sarah and Wyvern backed away from one another. They circled each other a few times, gauging each other's abilities before Sarah burst forward, and knocked Wyvern out with a clean one-two combo. The crowd was shocked to see the champ go down so quickly, and even more so once they saw the instant replay. The announcer declared a win for Sarah, and Sarah walked back to the ready room to watch her standing change.
As she sat in her chair, and watched her name and picture rise up the ladder, she saw who her next opponent was, someone named Masters. Walking back out into the pit, Sarah fought Masters, and ended the fight about as quickly as she did with Wyvern. The only difference was an extra punch. If this was what she would be up against for the entire tournament, she felt as though it would be a cake walk. Walking back to the room, she studied her next two opponents. Detective Chun, and Cam. Those two fights ended rather quickly as well, but Sarah did flirt with each of the two, who were quite receptive. Her fifth opponent looked a little tougher.
Unfortunately, Hibiki's looks were all for show. Sarah felt insulted for having to fight against him. But, she did her best to act gracefully, and quietly returned to the room. This marked the end of the first day. Cam and Chun caught up with Sarah on the way out, and the trio hit up a bar before retiring to a single hotel room.
The next morning, Sarah got up, thanked the two for a wonderful night, and joined them for breakfast while making plans for dinner, before heading back to the arena. When she arrived, she was swarmed by reporters, before the promoter made them all leave. Sarah was halfway through the tournament, and things were only going to get more difficult from this point on. Her next opponent fought the same way that she did. When she met Mike in the pit, they greeted each other with a fist bump before putting some distance between themselves. Then, they both rushed each other, testing the waters with some jabs, both narrowly avoiding taking a direct hit before they started throwing the heavy punches. There was a rumble through the arena as the two of them exchanged high impact blows in the middle of the pit. This went on for about nine minutes before Sarah landed a clean uppercut to Mike's jaw, and knocked him out. Walking back to the waiting room, she realized that she only had four opponents left, and got pumped up, feeling that victory was within reach.
Targas, and the two Vegas we're really tough. Sarah barely avoided being dragged out unconscious against the second Vega. He was an amazing fighter, and Targas was no joke. Still, there was only one fighter left, but that fight would have to wait for the next day.
As Sarah left the arena, and met up with Cam, and Detective Chun, she couldn't help but think that this was exactly the kind of attention the guild needed. But, that wasn't really her call to make. Still, she had a feeling that things were going to turn out pretty well for the guild. As she retired for the evening with the two lovely women from the night before, she knew that this was how she wanted to make her living, when not handling jobs.
Stepping back into the pit the next morning, she faced off against Kouken. This was not going to be an easy fight, and they both knew it. Sarah opened up with a textbook one-two, following up with a liver punch, then a short, but powerful, uppercut. Bobbing and weaving the entire time, gathering momentum, she continued with a flurry of hooks, gaining speed and power with each punch until she hit air. Had Kouken managed to avoid her attack? No, he had fallen unconscious due to a blow to his temple. He wasn't dead, but he wouldn't be finishing the fight.
As Sarah returned to the waiting room, she watched her standing increase, but was curious as to why she wasn't listed at the top just yet. When the promoter entered the waiting room, Sarah pointed out the discrepancy.
"Well, there is one more fighter, but we didn't know if you would want to fight him. I mean, you don't have to, you can walk away with the trophy right now, if you want."
"No, I'll fight him. I have to, otherwise that trophy won't mean anything."
Fixing her tape, Sarah walked back out into the pit, to meet the one known as demon. He went down about as quickly as one of the earlier fights. What he gained in strength, he lost in stamina, and that was his downfall.
The crowd roared as Sarah was handed a trophy, with a flaming wheel figure atop it, and raised it up as high as she could, before heading back to the waiting room. She had just beaten some of the strongest fighters in the world, or so she thought. Once she collected her prize money, she spent one more night with Cam and Chun before heading back to the guild.
