Persona Grand Prix : The Duels of Ages
Persona Grand Prix 10AC
☢
Who: Tournament Fighters and those who wish to watch them.
Where: Aries Arena & Televised
Summary: 1/16-1/22. Days of non-stop shooting and Persona battles! Players decide when the fight takes place.
Warnings: D-D-DUELS!
Grand Prix Frenzy had overtaken the city by this point.
We're sorry, you weren't technically part of the main show. However, perhaps, should this go well, they might be able to get you into the giant tournament itself next year!What can they say, the show must go on. And the ratings must be high.
The entire place was filled with cheering spectators and for those who missed out, the usual channels were going to post the entire thing live. Pay-per-view had extra shows and cameras. Or you could go to your local pub. Now that the main show was put on hold, they had all come to see one thing: and it was to see how these newcomers from otherworlds fared in their favorite sport. In a way it was showing the natural pride to them, and watching how they did at it.
Gambling wasn't allowed publicly. So naturally it flourished underground. Odds today were 1:1 for nearly everyone, those looking to make a lot of money were simply out of luck. Today was a day for watching.
From the side ring "Jay Queen" and "Bob Sternhammer", the two ringside announcer, excitedly begin the pre-game talk.
"What a crowd today Jay! You can feel and hear the energy coming right off of 'em!"
"A stadium of Ten Thousand filled to the brim! At the tenth anniversary, this promises to be a Grand Prix unlike any other!"
"Can't blame 'em. Hell, if I wasn't announcing this, I'd be ringside looking at the newcomers. For those watching at home, we're gonna remind you of the few ground rules."
"Tonight's matches are part of the main tournament, Outerworlders division. No returning champions, in fact, if you look to the left there, you'll see Flamin' HellDragon waving next to Seaside Dragoon. Last year's reigning champ, and the sexy female newcomer? Oh I can just smell the steaming flames of passion raising!"
"Haha and a kiss in public! Can you hear the crowd echoing their approval! At this stage they might take away from the real event!"
"Names are drawn based on known skill. Randomization is under the supervision of the Hinoto-Ri Lotto Society."
"Contestants pick their own Evoker ten minutes before the duel, and are asked to fire a blank shot in the air to insure security before it is scanned. Contestants then are brought into their isolation zones and are kept there until they are ready to be brought up to the ring. Since this is a double dual championship, contestants are brought together a full two hours before the tournament begins, and then will get to meet their opponents behind a locked bar twenty minutes before the show begins."
"Turns are taken, each allowed only one command from their Personas."
"As usual, Instant Death Spells are forbidden of usage. You may not kill your opponent. If your opponent is knocked unconscious, they have five seconds to get up. You are only allowed to attack your opponents Persona, even with your weapons and skills."
"Oh! Looks like the national anthem's gonna start."
There was some singing, as everyone stood up. After, the shouts became louder and louder, as a single man dressed in a tuxedo walked in, grabbing a futuristic microphone and speaking in it.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE GRAND PRIX TOURNAMENT IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE OTHERWORLDER'S DIVISION! A SERIES OF BATTLES WITH STRICT SET OF RULES TO SHOWCASE THE NATRUAL ABILITY OF HINOTO-RI'S HEROES!" Dramatically, he leaned in closer, raising his hand as the crowd's enthusiasm broke into an even louder frenzy.
"LeeeeeET'S GET IT oooooooooON!"
The crowed cheered, as a series of fireworks and music tore off into the sky.
"This is Bob and Jay live from the Outerworld Demo Tournament! !"

BATTLE
Dressed up in their simple fighting outfits (Red for Team 1, Blue for Team 2), 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!"
"...wow that guy looks nervous. He's brand new and looking like he'll form a lake by the amount of sweat that's transpiring off of him!"
"...Let's take a close up!"
SWEAT CLOSE UP CAM!!
There was a long silence after this.
"Gross..."
"...maybe too close"
The camera moved away.
"Oh and this guy! Doesn't he look like the brother of one of the returning fighters?"
"That's because he is! You might have also heard of him from Teenbeat Magazine!"
"Oh the early riser good ass guy right?"
"Right! And look at those fangirls! They are screaming his name in the side! And don't worry about us saying that...it's alright even with the new rules to say that! Just like we can see that the other two are best friends!"
"That's AMAZING! BROTHER AND SISTER VS BEST FRIENDS?"
"It's gonna be one hell of a match!"
"Sibling rivalries and ego were never this dangerous!"
"And you get to all see it unfold LIVE!"
"The flames of battle are strong in all of them."
"And their opponents...well there's the sister we mentioned, but that other guy looks calm and ready to do this!"
"Strong and silent are the deadly ones..."
"BATTLE OF FRIENDS AND SIBLINGS!"
"Better keep watching to find out who will win!"
"Your Tag-Team Matchup tonight! Your first Team! FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD, HE'S GOING TO DELIVER PAIN! The flamming truck driver of DOOM!!"
As they rose, music filled the coliseum, echoing into the night sky. An image was being displayed on all the telescreens, the nickname overlapped in special effects.
"And their Partner!! FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD, A BOXER WITH A HEART OF GOLD! The Shining Sovereign Pugilist!!"
The music changed to fit the new arrival, their nickname taking the place of their partner before. The crowd roared.
"Ladies and Gentlemen...YOUR FIRST TEAM!!!"
They cheered on for a minute before the lights dimmed again, and the crowded hushed.
"Aaaaaand....THEIR OPPONENTS! A FLIRTY YOUNG MAN LOVED BY ALL! The Shining One !!"
From the other side of the stadium they rose, music playing as they did so.
"And their Partner!! FROM OUT OF THIS WORLD, A LADY WITH LEGS OF STEEL AND A DEFENSE SPECIALIST! The Luminous Lightning Defender"
The final piece of music was played as they rose upwards to join the others.
"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 fourth, and it already promises to be interesting."
"And now they're gonna spin the wheel! The wheel spinning is done under the Hinoto-Ri Lotto Surveillance."
"And their condition!"
The wheel began to spin, as the stadium fell deadly quiet.
It was almost too hard to hear the two announcers with all the cheering but both looked extremely happy.
"Oh hell yes our first Otherworlder Boat battle!"
"For those who don't know about this, both teams are put on top of two opposing plastic boats with plants on each side, a pool of sharks below!"
"...the sharks are dolphins, but don't tell your kids, it's funnier that way" Wink.
They were all raised into the air along with the other, plastic boats appeared and each team was put on one, with enough room to stand properly without falling over. Below, the entire stadium opened to reveal a gigantic pool with a few dolphins swimming below. 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 count to ten in this case since they can't move much, 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!"
For whenever folks are ready!
Actually, at the moment, he was more worried about the boat. This didn't seem very... well. Safe.
Regardless, he raised his evoker and flashed a competitive grin at their opponents.]
Time to see how good you two really are! Polydeuces, let's go!
[With a pull of the trigger, he casts Power Charge, bracing himself to try and keep steady atop the boat.]
Daichi, stay calm. If you freak out, you'll end up head-first in the water with the sharks. ... dolphins.
Re: For whenever folks are ready!
Who's idea even was this anyway?!
[Seriously? Dolphins?
Oh whatever-- it was a slight rocking of the boat that almost made him lose his footing that snapped him to proper attention. He'd never used an Evoker in his life before, but-- it was a simple matter of not paying attention to what was in his hand and paying attention to the situation before him.]
Let's go--! [So Daichi pulled out the Evoker and brought it up to the side of his head (pointedly out of range of his peripheral vision, if anyone noticed), and pulled the trigger, summoning Agni and castsing Masukunda on both Miki and Kaito.]
oh boy!!
Come on, Miki! [They'll get to the apologies later, but for now, it's time to test out that Evoker. No...pressure or anything. While still crouching in the boat, gripping the side of it with one hand, he raises the pretend gun to his temple. God, even if it's fake, his hand is still shaking...it's not until the boat rocks forward with a lurch that Kaito decides to bite the bullet and pull the trigger, eyes completely shut. He doesn't even see Chandra's light as he's summoned and blesses the two of them with a Marakukaja.
Miki's on her own for damage, but at least she'll be protected!]
This is like warm up round, isn't it.
Helen!
[The Persona stays behind her and raises its left hand and casts Power Rush at her. The next physical attack will not be only 2.5 times stronger, but she'll have a 50% chance on knocking down her target.
Like brother, like sister.]
Apparently!
Let's show them how it's done!
[Have a taste of some Gigantic Fist, Kaito? If you're Miki's support, time to try and take you out!]
it's funny because fire
[Dare I say, was that a touch of confidence in his voice?
Daichi had to admit, Akihiko had the right idea; he knew Kaito had a support Persona, so even if he couldn't attack, he'd just be making Miki-- who could attack them-- even stronger.
It...still kind of bothered him to have to be fighting Kaito again after That Week, but he kind of had to make himself feel better by insisting that it was just a sport. Just for fun, right?
Weak as hell justification aside, Daichi pulled the trigger on the Evoker again, summoning Agni and this time casting an Agi spell on Kaito.]
