As most know, the Vytal Festival is done within a tight schedule in order to get all the fights in, but also insure that all students would not be missing classes once they had returned to their academies. That’s why it’s rather strange that there was nothing coming from the announcer’s booth around the scheduled start for the next match. ”-now start the-?! Wait, has the mic been muted the whole time? Prim! Why didn’t you warn me!?” Hunter’s voice starts to drip with sadness as his super hyped up intro didn’t air.
Despite being caught off guard herself, Prim would not allow her massive ego to be scarred by such a disgrace. Defensively, she retorted ”Don’t look at me! It’s your stupid mic so you should take responsibility for its problems!” Crossing her arms, she would simply let Hunter redo the intro to possibly redeem himself.
Downtrodden, Hunter used a less hyped intro, ”Alright then. We have the duo Shiroe and Reggie, and if you ask me, they certainly look like they belong in Atlas. Alas, they’re Beacon students.” It seems that Hunter would’ve had more to add if his hyped up intro wasn’t wasted so early on.
Sighing in disbelief at the display of pitiful actions before her, Prim would take it upon herself to finish the introduction. ”Yes, well, I guess I’ll introduce the other pair then. On the other side, we have Calen and Setsuna, who’ve shown us that they mean business in their first round match. We’ll see firsthand if they’ll be able to take down The Gentleman and...The Guy!” Not wanting to entirely discredit Reginald, she would simply give him no praise; she did have some integrity, after all!
”Alright, I guess since we introduced these losers, we can start the envirospinner then.” Seemingly bounced back from his rather sad state, Hunter’s voice quickly filled with some energy as he moved to get the match started.
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 Tundra (Congrats King & Monster, you get more ice).
The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose two new floors. As this happened, a large clear dome also arose and encased the two biomes. On Shiroe & Reggie’s side, a sizeable iceberg with a notably flat top would appear in the middle of a freezing cold body of water. Connecting the doorway where the combatants enter to the iceberg would be a thin bridge made of thick ice. A similar bridge also connected the iceberg to the opposing biome. On Setsuna & Calen’s side, a sparse amount of short trees would rise along with a thick blanket of snow on the ground. On top of these two biomes, a somewhat intense wind would begin to blow, whipping up a blizzard to significantly reduce visibility (YES IT MEANS SPECTATORS CAN’T REALLY SEE, BUT THEY CAN EAT MY ASS AND BLAME GUS).
(A coin flip has decided that Shiroe 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.)
