Dressed up in their fighting best (no special fighting outfits for you today), they could hear the crowd as they were slowly brought up.
"And welcome once again to the greatest tournament in Hinoto-Ri!"
"Right you are! For those just coming in today, know that due to the new privacy rules voted in last December 9AC, the private names, arcana, ages and zodiac signs of all fighters, both from Hinoto-Ri and Otherworlds are strictly prohibited."
"You'll need to check out Teenbeat Magazine if you want that stuff, folks!"
"Very little is known of both contestants, but word is one is a newcomer, and the other is a returning Visitor!"
"And what a way to say welcome back or just hello than to beat the crap out of each other! Wooo!"
"Calm down, Jay."
"Not to mention, one's a robot. You know what this means..."
"Featherman Parody?"
"No no… eye lasers! It's kinda like knife eye attacks… but better!"
"..."
"Oh and I guess rumors are she may be part of the people who saved the mayor a while ago…"
"But eye lasers, right?"
"RIGHT!"
"And the guy?"
"THAT'S A GUY?!?"
"..."
"Huh. Well he is. Didn't think, with that perfect hair and almost divine angelic grace…"
"Well word is he's been going around asking all sorts of strange questions."
"Like what?"
"You know the stuff that makes you wonder if he's a time traveler."
"..huh."
"But we have some information courtesy of Hinoto-Ri's fairies! According to them he's 'totally coool' and 'sooo dreamy' and 'like a total babe.'"
"I can't blame them."
"..."
"Why are you always so surprised, anyway?"
"You know...I don't know."
"Well, with both contestants mostly a mystery, it does promise to make this match exciting."
"Your first matchup tonight! From this corner! FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD, A ROBOT BUILT FOR BATTLE! Combat's Steel Chariot!"
As she rose upwards toward the stage, more fireworks filled the coliseum, echoing into the night sky. An image was being displayed on all the telescreens, the nickname overlapped in special effects.
They cheered on for a minute before the lights dimmed again, and the crowded hushed.
"Aaaaaand....THEIR OPPONENT! FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD, THE HONORABLE SAMURAI! The Evanescent Blinking Star!"
From the other side of the stadium he rose, to the cheering crowd.
▲ VS ▼
"Aww man, I'm getting pumped already! If you've just come into this special, this is Otherworlds division matches. Currently we're at the start of the first battle, and it already promises to be interesting. Samurai vs Robots, it's like a manga over here!"
Both were raised into the air, the ring around them beginning to close, forming a metal mesh between all two, inside a very large area for their safety, but big enough for them to use all their skills. A team of three healers stood by in the wings.
"Those new to the sport watching we'd like to remind you that Contestants start close to each other, back faced. After that, they take ten steps, Evokers in the air."
"Reminds you of old American Wild West duels! Crowd loves to count down until they start."
"After that, it's the first who shoots allows their team to begin first!"
READY? GO!
[OOC: Jonathan won the coin toss, so he goes first.]
