"Hello and welcome to the midnight matchup! Werewolf check on Area A... I hope none of you are too sleepy, because today we've got an ancient matchup between two gorgeous men hailing from the age of heroes~! Soma Cruz and Leooon Belmont! Gosh, I don't even know who to root for! I just hope they're both ready to save me from these creatures of the night trying to raid the announcer box! I think they're just over-eager fans, but that's alright. Did you know Stadium Announcer is one of the most dangerous jobs on Li? There's always something goofy going on here~"

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

The doors to the arena opened, and Leon Belmont walked in; to those who fought to protect themselves and their families from the creatures of the night, Leon was revered as a symbol of hope. But for those who were beloved by the night, Leon was the dreaded nightmare of their kind, and the first to beat death to... Well, himself.

"I guess this might be as good a time as any to see how good I am, hopefully my opponent gets the chance to do the same." Leon said as he looked over to where his opponent would be, unfurling the Vampire Killer and entering a battle stance.

And when the whip was revealed, the demons who saw it shuddered while the ones at the announcers box(on both sides of it mind you) scattered in terror. Apparently they knew they would not survive if Leon Belmont attacked them.

Of course his first match was against a Belmont.

That was Soma's first thought as he pondered how to make his entrance. It was all about popularity on top of actual skill, right? Well... May as well make it flashy. As the announcer called out his opponent, he made his entrance. His strongest technique had been banned from this match, so may as well use it to show off instead. Activating Chrono Mage, Soma grabbed a silly hat from one of the spectators in the audience during stopped time, and quickly dashed back into the arena. He lightly placed the hat on Leon's head, before dashing over to his side of the Arena and allowing Chrono Mage's effect to end. The hat he had placed on the Belmont was in ludicrous contrast with the Hunter's attire. A bright sky blue hat with a light windmill on the top of it, which made a sudden spin thanks to the sheer momentum being moved in stopped time had created. For the crowd, it was as if the Belmont had suddenly had the hat materialize at the same time Soma appeared.

"No matter which of us wins, it's an honor to fight a Belmont. Let's keep this clean, yeah?"'

Okay, so he had shown off a little. Wasn't that part of the point of this tournament though?

"Nothing like a couple of good sports to set the bar~! Now if only these demons would stop trying to turn me into lunch, we'd be in for a relaxing fight! Back off!"

Blue whips out a canister of pepper spray and sprays the eyes of a werewolf that was bearing over her, incapacitating it in howling pain. She then hesitated a moment before quickly turning and holding up a holographic screen with the audience requests on it! She read it for a moment before showing the combatants.


"Nnnevermind~! Apparently, the audience wants to see a damsel in distress! I guess this is what happens when you let demons vote."


"Well, at least it'll be a good show..! Thankfully they're weirdly focused on me, so you boys should be able to do your thing without interference. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to find somewhere to hold up!"

Blue ran off, trailed by a giant serpent. She began scrambling to climb up a stone pillar to get away from it.

Leon was not the kind of person who liked to be humiliated like that, but he let it slide. "You remind me of someone I knew a long time ago. Cannot put my finger on it though." Leon said in bewilderment as he took off the silly hat and tossed it back in the stands.

"Oh well, you can tell me when you have the time, may the best man win, as it were." Leon added as he got into position for the fight and decided to enjoy the hilarious method of appealing to the audience by enacting the epic He-Man reference with his whip pointed skyward instead of He-man's sword! "I HAVE THE POWER!!!"
CHA ROLL: 18+3=21{And Leon does the reference before...}

Then promptly let loose swift lashing with the whip to try to hurt Soma a bit and give him a burn!
STR ROLL A: 15+2=17{Vampire Killer @ Soma Cruz, 5% dmg and 100% burn chance if it connects}

Then jumped skyward and performed his Falcon Claw attack, the move was not only strong, but the power of such a diving kick like this would make the likes of CAPTAIN FALCON green with envy... Quite literally too.
STR ROLL B: 20+2=22{CRITICAL Falcon Claw of eat your heart out Captain Falcon! @ Soma Cruz, 30% dmg if it connects}

"I'm afraid I don't know what you mean." In truth, Soma had a vague idea of what Leon meant, but he didn't feel like bringing it up. It probably wouldn't go over well, all things considered. While Leon engaged in his, frankly strange, appeal, Soma glanced up at the direction of the announcer. That was bad. He glanced back to Leon. The man didn't seem particularly concerned about the Announcer's situation, which was... Disconcerting. Well, no reason for him not to help her. He drew his Silver Gun and popped a few potshots off at the demons harassing her. Hopefully that would calm things down some over there.

py_HLpfFp_1d20+2(Soma is making an appeal by rescuing blue, firing at the demons.)

"Leave the girl alone, or I come up there personally."

Well, that was that taken care of. On to more important matters... Like dealing with that whip. He'd felt the sting of Vampire Killer more than he cared to admit, in this life, and the last, so he decided the best decision was to not risk being hit, blocking with his Shield.

(Bump. Soma pulled up his bubble shield. Not today, Leon. Not today.)

... And oh dear, that kick was looking particularly painful as well. Yeah, no. He kept his shield up. He'd just have to be more careful next go around.

(Bump. Shield.)

"Alright, now it's my turn."

Now was Soma's time to shine! Acting quick, he withdrew his Silver Gun from his coat once more, and fired off three shots. He had to get Leon on the defense.

p_1d20+2(Three shots with the Silver Gun. 8% damage each.)

p_1d20+2

p_1d20+2

But of course, that wasn't the end. Soma rushed towards Leon, then suddenly withdrew... A cloth? A perfectly normal, brown cloth, and smacked Leon with it. But why. The answer was quite simple! This was the form he had chosen for his Soul Awakening spell, his old soul Killer Mantle.

p_1d20+2(Watch yourself Leon! This may not do damage, but if it lands, Soma's about to get a buff!)

Blue was momentarily freed from the advancing demons attempting to prey upon her. One could only speculate why they didn't go after the fighters themselves. Maybe they were just genre savvy??


"Hoo~! Thank you, Mister Soma! I guess this full moon has their blood boiling~"

Leon was not prepared for guns, as the only things he had to worry about in his generation we're arrows fired by unruly heretics. But decided to dodge some to the best of his ability.
DEX ROLL A: 20-2=18(dodged)
DEX ROLL B: 19-2=17(best stat won, ouch!
DEX ROLL C: 15-2=13(that most certainly stings!)

Leon managed to dodge at least one, but the others struck hard enough to cause some hurt. Then came a brown cloth and Leon immediately sidestepped the attempt!
DEX ROLL D: 19-2=17( Not today, Soma...)

"Not bad... That gun certainly smarts though." Leon said as he promptly threw his Axe like a boomerang to slaughter the serpent that chased Blue up a pillar, decapitating it in the process to show the creatures of the night that Leon will do to them the same thing he did to the serpent if they continued to harass the commentator of the match!
Appeal roll: 11+3=14(using an action to appeal by hunting monsters harassing Blue, killing the serpent via decapitation in the process)

Leon would then proceed to Lob a pumpkin at Soma Cruz to sweeten the deal as compensation for the gunshots he was hit by.
STR ROLL: 20+2=22(CRITICAL Pumpkin of pain @ Soma Cruz, 19% dmg if it connects)

Leon would then summon a pair of Crosses to orbit around him as he proceeds to walk towards his opponent.
WIS ROLL: 16+1=17(The Cross is used, If Soma makes physical contact with Leon while these are orbiting around him, he will incur 10% dmg and one cross will be destroyed in the process!)
