Rizel Madchen, 14 year old Force trainee, scampers into stadium well ahead of her guardian, Honey Shaa. The little Newman leans out over the guard rail to look out over the crowd and observe the two combatants warming up below.
"Wow, Honey, look at all the hunters!" Rizel has never seen such a large gathering of Hunters, Rangers, and Forces in her life. "What're they all doing here?" Honey pulls her adopted daughter back and squeezes her shoulders gently.
"They're here to see the match. The Guild settles their differences with one another in this Arena. The fighters are allowed to argue, debate, and otherwise beat each other senseless until they either settle their problem or vent all their anger. The settlement must be witnessed by at least 20 other Guild members, but seeing as the Guild has had very little to do since the Pioneer Project began, considerably more turn out to watch."
Rizel nods absently, barely noticing the explanation given, and looks about for loudspeakers as a voice booms over the arena.
"Today we gather to witness the settling of grievances between Hunter Android Miyamoto and Force Newman Felix Verill. The grievance is as follows; Felix has neglected his obligation to visit Miyamoto in the Hunter Academy dojo for their weekly sparring session for one month."
There is scattered laughter, and Rizel gives Honey a confused look.
"Miyamoto is an old HUcast with a simple way of life. He rarely finds anything to be upset over, so the members here find it amusing," explains the RAmarl. Rizel returns her attention to the arena where Felix is drawing his weapon. The FOnewm takes an item box and tosses it to the ground. The lid pops open and its photon-compressed contents pop into the air like an errant jack-in-the-box. He snatches the Double Saber from the air and takes a stance. Across from him, Miyamoto simply activates his Yamato blades and waits for the signal.
"FIGHT!"
Felix charges in immediately, swinging one blade in to slice into the HUcast's shoulder. Miyamoto parries with ease and deflects the Force aside, following up with a simple upward slash. Felix catches the blow on his barrier and gestures with his free hand. A Foie burst punches up into Miyamoto's stomach and hurls him back several meters. Rizel gasps, but Honey simply clicks her tongue.
"He's using a Red Merge barrier to boost his spells. No doubt he's wearing a few Mind units in his Frame as well."
"What's that mean?" Rizel asks, watching fixedly as Miyamoto picks himself up and begins his advance toward the FOnewm opponent.
"It means..." Honey begins, pausing as the Android rolls to avoid a few more fireballs, "That Felix guy is boosting himself in order to try and gain an advantage. Miyamoto's the oldest HUcast here; level 75 according to the Guild's database. No one's matched that level in the history of the Guild. He really shouldn't be doing as well as he is."
No sooner had these words been spoken than Miyamoto had come upon Felix at last, forcing the smaller man to defend himself in close. Every escape Felix attempts is cut off before it can begin; every counterattack attempt is met with an easy parry that barely disrupts the rhythm of the ancient HUcast.
Felix slips free under a horizontal slice, and the crowd gasps with surprise.
"Ha! That HUcast messed up, didn't he Honey?" Rizel proclaims with a proud smile. Honey, however, purses her lips thoughtfully and shakes her head.
"No...I'd say Felix just messed up. Big time."
The Force grins triumphantly, turning with incredible speed to stab Miyamoto in the back, when a small explosion vibrates the stands. Felix Verill stands frozen in place by a carefully timed Freeze Trap, his blade milimeters from Miyamoto's body. The HUcast places the end of one blade beneath his opponent's chin. When Felix regains his mobility, he simply throws his weapon aside with a disgusted expression.
"The grievance settles in Miyamoto's favor. Felix must uphold his obligation to visit the master weekly. Match over."
That'd be the end...so. Comments? Criticism?
