”Good afternoon all, and welcome back to the forty-first bi-annual Vytal Festival tournament! We’re back with more matches containing even more Beacon students!” A large portion of the crowd roared with cheering and clapping, clearly showing which kingdom had the best representation. ”Ahem, anyways, we have a lot of familiar faces in this 2v2 match between the first years. On our first team we have Billy Bone and Smokey Emberstone. You know, I wonder if teams decide their lineups randomly. Because this lineup of snipers is either bad RNG or bad decision making. Either way, on the other side we have a slightly more balanced team! Give a warm welcome to Setsuna Antiqua and Calen Shrike. As our only newcomer in this match, let’s see if Calen can entrance us with his stylish combat dance! Let’s move right on to the spinner, since my co-announcer had to take a very timely and lengthy bathroom break.”

A large holographic image of a lottery machine appears on all sides of the arena, with two spinners. The spinners spun so quickly, making it nearly impossible to make out the passing words. It ticked through the options slower and slower until it finally stopped on Ice and Mountain.

The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose two new floors. On Billy & Smokey’s side, a sizeable frozen lake would appear. Despite being perfectly stable for running and walking, any damage from weapons or semblances could spell trouble for those standing on it! On Setsuna & Calen’s side, flat rocky formations rose from the ground ending in a perilous cliff near the top. It is also worth noting that if someone were knocked from the top of the cliff onto the frozen lake, that could also lead to an unfortunate situation.

As the spinner finished its job and faded away, the doors on each side of the arena opened to signify the start of the match.

(A coin flip has decided that Setsuna will get the first post, followed by their partner. The arena size is identical to that of the team combat arena in the show, however, it features scaled down biomes to fit the size. Good luck, and may the best team win.)

Well, at least the lake was frozen this time.

Stepping into the decisively unique arena with Calen right behind him, Setsuna actually looked downright casual compared to his other matches. His sword was sheathed at his hip and his hands were in his pants pockets. He carried with him an air of chill--or at least he would have if he wasn't armed to the teeth with green blades and white-blue shields. Even so, he didn't look concerned in the slightest.

"What do you think, Calen?" he asked, turning to face his battle partner. While doing so, he beckoned him behind a rock formation, knowing full well that they were up against two ranged fighters, one with something even both of his shields would have trouble blocking a hit from.

'Should be fun.' Calen remarked grinning. The hunter in training was rather impressed by how composed his leader was given the circumstances, even Calen himself felt nerves the increased pressure on a leader must be intense. 'I've ran into both Master Smokey and Miss Bone before, Smokey's got the far larger weapon but Billy can make a lasso as her semblance which would rob us of our greatest advantage, speed.' Calen continued. Following Setsuna to cover knowing first hand the firepower at least Smokey was carrying. 'We have some choices with the terrain though, if we rush out we can use the ice to our advantage but we have to deal with their open fire or we can let them come to us which may lose us initiative but should be able to avoid most of their fire behind these outcrops.' Calen explained, he was clearly in favour of a more frontal approach although his desire to see his opponents best before defeating them could spell disaster for their team.

'There is another matter we should discuss. Your semblance is more powerful than mine but we need to play around that recharge time, so whatever we do I think I should take point and you follow up to maximise how much damage you can do within that window.' Calen proposed. An unfortunately large part of himself was looking forward to playing punching bag kept in check only by the knowledge he would put on less of a show beaten up. 'Regardless it would be impolite not to do introductions.' Calen remarked before raising his voice loud enough for Smokey and Billy to hear. 'So how are we all doing? Hope you've had some practice with you lasso Miss Bone and you some control of that temper Master Smokey.' Calen called out already beginning his verbal assault even if the physical one is on hold. Calen had already seen Smokey's temper in action before and with a weapon like the later wields it would only take one outburst to spell some serious consequences.

All in all, Calen was rather confident in their chances, which defines 100% of encounters Calen has but it was more than just his pride here. Like the announcers said Billy and Smokey may be powerful range fighters but that is all they were and without any real means to disengage meant a single mistake could give 'SC' the win.

Before the match began, Smokey paused for a moment at the announcer's slight mistake.  "Sniper?  Has anything I've done been reminiscent of a sniper, Billy?"  Sure, he uses a gun, but if anyone thinks he can't knock heads with the best of 'em, they're in for a rude surprise.

Then the door opened, and Smokey's confidence in this match...lowered somewhat.  A lake of ice appeared before him, and that made the gunslinger a little uncomfortable.  Heavy armor and clothes?  Check.  Heavy weapons?  Check.  Ammunition that should probably avoid water?  Check. 

"Nope, not dealing with this," Smokey said as he hurriedly tries to move across the ice lake as quickly as possible.  It's an awkward time, and he has to flail his arms a bit to keep steady, but slowly and surely, he's making progress.  He just needs to focus on keeping his feet under him for the time being.

Billy shrugged in response to Smokey's question.

When the gate opened and Billy was hit by a blast of cold air. "Great. Ice." she said, her voice seething with sarcasm. She slowly stepped on the ice, slipped a little, and then a lot. She had never been on ice before. She fell on her butt and frowned. She was getting nowhere fast.

Calen's voice echoed through the battlefield. 'So how are we all doing? Hope you've had some practice with you lasso Miss Bone and you some control of that temper Master Smokey.'

Thanks to Calen, Billy had an idea. She crawled over to Smokey. The ice was freezing hell on her bare hands. Using him as a steadying tool she stood up and held on to him. She sent her lasso semblance over to the nearest sturdy rock on the border of the frozen lake. With on hand clutching Smokey, she pulled them both to the edge of the lake. It was much easier than she expected to be that the ice was so slippery.

"Can't teach a old dog new tricks I see." Setsuna chuckled quietly at Calen's verbal fencing, inwardly glad that he was on Calen's side and not against. "Considering the two of them are both ranged it's not a stretch to assume they don't want to be on the ice and rather want high ground.” Finally taking more of a battle-ready attitude and stance, Setsuna reaches for his blade, considering if he should leave Equilibrium but eventually deciding against it.

"In either case, you're right on both fronts. I'll leave it to you to take point. And we should do more than just introduce ourselves with words." he continues, poking his head round the left side of their cover to try and peek at their opponents. "Regardless I don't think they know about my Semblance, at least, so we have that advantage over them. Since closing the distance is important when up against two ranged fighters I suggest a twin-pronged assault on both flanks, though in your case you can just go over the pillar we're behind. On your mark." Gripping his sword tighter Setsuna prepares to break from their cover.

The far too smooth patter of feet gave away their opponents approach much to Calen's glee, they had charged straight into the wolf's jaws.'Right so regarding semblances, Smokey makes himself immoveable, mostly to fire his gun but might come in if you try to use that shield to push him around.' Calen responded quickly shifting his weapon into its glaive form. They might have a bit of time before Billy and Smokey crossed the borderline considering how much slower they must be moving combined with their own speed boosts and solid ground but that didn't mean wasting time was a good idea.

Launching himself up and over the top of their cover with one application and another sending himself diving towards their opponents like... well a shrike Calen swooped into Billy and Smokey. Hoping to catch them before they got to the rocky side of the formation both because they would be more off balance but also the sheer impact of Calen's semblance boosted strike could shatter the ice through the hunters in training.

[Grab permitted by King]

Smokey was not having fun on this god-forsaken ice lake. He was half-tempted to pull out the Good News and use it as a glorified walking stick.  It wasn't until Billy slid over (and almost bowled him over, no less) that he'd been thankful he had a teammate.  As she activated her semblance and smartly used it to pull them to the center, he whispered, "You know you're my favorite, right?"

Unfortunately, just before the arrived at the much less slick center, Smokey spotted a blur heading straight for the rodeo-on-ice.  Acting more on reflex than any plan, Smokey shoves Billy out of the way of Calen's strike, positioning himself so he takes the brunt of the blow.

And, boy, does the blow come. But since the blow came from so far away, he did have a bit of timing on his side.  Just as the blow strikes, Smokey activates his own semblance.  It doesn't reduce the damage, as evidenced by the grunt of pain he emits, but it does do two other things.  One, it keeps Smokey from being knocked back at all by the blow.  The second, is that it drops the glaive's momentum to 0.  It would be as if Calen had struck into a block of lead.  With the weapon no longer moving at blinding speeds, it was a simple matter to wrap an arm around the weapon's shaft, and thereby locking it in place.

"Ow.  For that, I'm gonna have to take this," he says, while reaching for his own weapon.  "In return, you can have--"

*crk* *crk-crk* *crk*

"Aw, son of a--" The sound of cracking gave Smokey a bit of a chill.  As much as he wants to return damage, he has bigger priorities.  He needs to get off this ice.

 "I won't tell." Billy whispered back with a wink. Then she started to blush, 'Oh crud. Is this a crush?' she panicky thought. When she saw the blur of fancy-dancy clothes, she instinctively dropped her semblance and braced for impact. She felt herself get shoved on to her butt and slid a few feet parallel to the rocks. She opened her eyes to see Smokey holding Calen's glaive. Without thinking, Billy quickly pulled up Longarm and angerly fired 3 shots at Calen. She made sure to keep her aim high so the ice doesn't break out from under them. She then used Longarm to help herself stand.

Catalina watched Smokey's Semblance activate and made Calen's glavie open to grappling. It's a good way to learn how to counter that, by seeing how others react to it. Now that they are stuck close together it's a good chance to blast Calen, but his own semblance is useful against that too.

A second after Calen used his semblance to rush their opponents Setsuna followed suit and broke from their cover on the left, withholding his semblance and opting to just sprint to close the distance. Now that he had a complete view of the situation it seemed like whatever Calen chose to do was already blocked by Smokey's aforementioned semblance, while Billy took unnecessary aim at point-blank. Seeing even a annoying person like Calen about to get hurt just made him slightly angry, however.

"You'll regret that in more ways than one, young lady." Setsuna growled, putting on a burst of speed and aiming to half tackle, half-shield bash Billy away from the currently grappling duo and further onto the ice, before following his initial assault up with a simple yet effective diagonal slash while Billy was still in range. Sorry Calen, you're on your own for a bit while I deal with this annoyance.

OOF.

And I suppose he can use it to stop me to. Calen thought to himself as the wind was knocked straight out of his lungs after hitting a brick wall who very impolitely decided to grow legs. Calen's heart dropped as Smokey raised his weapon, not willing to abandoning his own weapon the gaunt boy hung helplessly for the blast to come. Only it never did. 'Performance problems? I would say that it happens to us all but that just isn't true?' Calen taunted, his voice still raspy. The taunting did mean he didn't notice Billy raising her gun before it was too late, the first shot struck home triggering Calen to swing himself on his glaive to keep Smokey between him and the gunslinger. The second shot still nipped him but Calen at least managed to complete dodge the last one and at least for now position himself out of Billy's line of fire.

Turning to the more present threat Calen delivered a duo of sharp kicks in Smoky's before sliding down the glaive's haft slightly to get into dagger range Calen stabbed hard straight at Smokey's eye. Still kind of just hanging off his glaive holding it in one hand Calen wasn't terribly sure of how to continue, he theoretically had Smokey where he wanted him but it didn't seem to going his way.

Smokey had resumed his penguin impression as he continued to try and waddle his way to the stable side of the arena.  It's only been 15 seconds, but he's done with this damnable lake.  He would have used his new walking stick as a source of balance and propulsion, but the young man Smokey had taken it from wasn't letting go.

Speaking of, Calen's kicks might as well have been flea bites to Smokey.  It was a nuisance, but overall, something to be ignored.  That meant Smokey could keep his full attention on his opponent's real motive, which was stabbing him in the eye.  If this had taken place on ground with better footing, Smokey would have just ducked under the strike and been done with it.  Unfortunately, when Smokey tried to duck on the ice, he immediately had to pop back up to keep his balance, letting the knife attack get a glancing blow.  At least it didn't get his eye...? 

Yeah, he's just about done with this nonsense, too.

Deciding that words wouldn't reach his new ragdoll friend, Smokey decided to push Matchstick's barrel into Calen's side and pull the trigger.  The barely muffled *ka-koom* should send a clear enough message:  "This is mine now, leave or get shot."

Just to clarify, the "crk-crk" sounds were supposed to represent the sound of ice cracking.  Rereading it, I felt there was a chance it might've been ambiguous, so I figured I'd clear things up here, just in case.

As soon as Billy found her footing she was smacked back on her hands and knees with Setsuna's shield bash, sending her sliding back further into the ice lake. Her weapon was knocked out of her hands and slid to right. When Setsuna swung for his slash, Billy quickly log-rolled out of the way and to her weapon. She was facing his side now, and her hat has rolled off. She looked a little different without it.  She pushed herself up to her knees while turning Longarm into hammer mode. Billy then swung at Setsuna's knees, hoping to knock him off balance as well.

From his crouched position on the ice it was a simple matter of being able to block the hit and not get pushed back by the lack of friction on the slippery ice surface. To that extent Setsuna just brought Harmony down hard on the frozen lake, using the twin points on the shield's bottom to puncture the surface and blocked the hammer swing. Thanks to the two points now embedded in the ice he didn't slide at all.

"A sniper fighting by my rules? Commendable, but there's one obvious outcome." Setsuna commented, using his shield as support to gain some traction and lunged forward, exploiting the hammer's weight behind the swing to get inside Billy's guard and execute two more sword slashes, this time bringing the sword horizontally across her stomach first, then a backhand diagonal upward slice.
