Up in the sky, there was a prop plane flying over the outskirts of Rome. Few towns were down there, and they were greatly apart from another, even from the birds-eye view of the plane you could tell this. The pilot turn to the two shibusen students and said, "Now you two know your mission right?" The two students tried to answer him, but the noise of the plane drowned them out. "Well, I'll tell ya anyway." he said after a moment or two. "Your mission is to kill this Angron, plain and simple. The not so simple part is that you have to battle it out with some of his lackies first to get to him. Once you go in there, you can't get out. So make sure your ready. And one more thing.... I cant ether take you straight to the stadium, or you can go to the town closest to it and have a chat with the townspeople, you know, get some info on all this. Well any questions? And remember to yell over the engine."

This was it, their first mission. The brown haired meister was literally bouncing in her seat with excitement from the moment the plane took off. Of course she calmed down a bit after being in the air for a bit and put her energy into staring out the window. While this was exciting, this plane was also not the best plane Lynn has ever been on. Then again, she hasn't been on that many planes. First off, it was noisy so Lynn could barely keep a conversation with her partner Vespera. So this plane was awkwardly quiet at times. Eventually Lynn bored of staring out the window. Luckily once that happened the team was almost there. Then the pilot asked them if they knew her mission. At this point Lynn just wanted to land and fight the kishen egg already. So it would be safe that she was anxious and a bit impatient. "Of course! We wouldn't of signed up if we hadn't," Lynn replied. It seemed that the pilot didn't hear her because he went on about their objective. He reminded them of how this would be difficult since the two of them would have to fight multiple enemies before the kishen, but that was also the reason Lynn signed them up for this. Well this was their first mission, so why not challenge themselves. And then came the question of what they should do next. Normally Lynn would rarely make plans and usually just run into the situation head first. Which was kind of what she wanted to do right now and just run blind into the stadium. Yet, she had a feeling that probably her partner wouldn't think that was a smart idea. "So ViVi, what do you think?" Lynn asked over the roar of the engines. While waiting for a response, the meister took out her leather fingerless gloves from her jean pocket and put them on. The gloves were mostly for practical purposes. Since Vespera was a metal bo staff, Lynn felt it would be smart to wear gloves when using her as a weapon so she won't loose her grip or develop unwanted blisters. She also wore her hair back in a messy ponytail to keep her hair out of the way even though some of her messy bangs managed to escape. The girl then sat back in her seat and played with her bronze anchor pendant as she waited for Vespera to give an answer to what they will do. Outfit

Vespera was feeling just a little bummed, she had brought along a MP3 player with her, not so much with the intention of blocking out everything around her, she was going to just keep one earbud in, leaving the ear next to her partner open. It didn't take, however, as she wasn't expecting the engine to be so bloody LOUD!
Music was a lot of things to Vespera, and in a situation like this it would be to ease her nerves, which are currently shot. She was happy to be on her first mission, but she was worried that they might have bit off more than they could chew. Still, she had to have faith in her partner, if she thought they could do this, then she was going to believe it. Maybe when they get off the plane she can rock out a little.
Until then, though, she listened to the mission's description again best she could over the sound of the engines. It was certainly strait forward enough, but the mission coordinator had a point, asking people in the area might not be a bad idea to see if anyone's seen what this Kishin does. Then her partner spoke up.
"So ViVi, what do you think?"
Vespera turned to Lynn and grinned, she had already been thinking about this.
"Well, I think seeing if anyone has any ideas as to this Kishin's habits could be a good start. Then again if this thing plans its attacks like this then we might not have a choice in our attack... we might have to play his game. Sorry, guess that's not very helpful, is it?" she said with a laugh. She couldn't really think of one plan over the other, so she wanted to hear what Lynn's opinion on her thoughts was. "I think I'd like to get this over with as soon as we can, but charging in blind could go badly for us. That's what I think, I guess."

Somehow, the pilot hear this part of the conversation. "Ok, Stadium it is!" Before the girls could say anything, the plane made a sharp turn and made a quick descent. Before they knew it, they landed right in front of the stadium's entrance. The stadium was warped and twisted, like something you would see in your nightmares. All the stone was stained a bright red and the double doors were made of normal wood but had purple vines with black thorns running up and down the doors. There was an ominous red could swirling above head. "Well, good luck." the pilot said. "Hope you come back alive."

Before Lynn could say anything, the pilot took a sharp turn, causing the girl to hit her head on the window beside her. It seemed that the pilot decided on his own to just drop the two of them off at the stadium. A rainbow of colorful words came to Lynn's head to describe all of her feeling for the pilot at the moment. Before she knew it, they had already landed in front of the stadium and the pilot took off. That, of course, didn't stop her from expressing her feelings."Hey! We weren't done talking you son of a bitch! You can't drop people off like that and just leave! And hell yeah we will come back alive! Don't you go doubting us!" The rest of her tantrum was mumbled and comprehensible, but clearly filled with rage and unintelligent words. Clearly there was no more use in yelling since the pilot was long gone. And she had to save her energy for the battles ahead of them. Lynn took a deep breath to calm herself as she clutched on her anchor pendant. She didn't know why, but crushing her pendants in her hands tended to calm Lynn down. Luckily she kind of wanted to go ahead and just fight the kishen anyway so her anger wasn't that long lasted. "Sorry about that," she said once calm and realizing Vespera was still with her. Lynn looked up at the grand gothic stadium. "I must say, this Angron is some architect. So how do you suppose we get inside? I don't suppose he has a doorbell. Do we just knock?" The brown haired girl spent a good five to ten minutes staring at the door. She doubted that he would just leave it open and the doors looked pretty heavy as well. One could say she was lost in thought If Vespera said anything in that time, Lynn probably didn't hear her. Then an idea formed in the young meister's head. "Hey Angron or whatever your name is! Open up! We are here to take your soul!" Lynn yelled as she started to pound on the door with her fist. Ok, maybe not the best of her ideas, but it was some kind of solution in her mind. Well their element of surprise was gone. It might of also not been such a bright idea to tell you opponent that you were planning on killing them and collecting their soul. Outfit

Vespera stood there in awe that they were just dumped off before weighing in options. Lynn seemed to be handling the task of voicing their discontent rather well. After she calmed down and apologized for the outburst, Vespera shook her head and crossed her arms.
"No, I agree with you. Bloody rude is what it was." she said, settling her head looking at the bizarre structure ahead of them.
"I must say, this Angron is some architect. So how do you suppose we get inside? I don't suppose he has a doorbell. Do we just knock?"
"I suppose? I guess this is where information gathering would have been a good thing... Maybe."
Then Lynn announced their presence loudly as possible, yelling at the door and pounding on it. Vespera stood close beside her, tensed up and ready for anything.

There was a large rumble that shook the ground, almost knocking the two off their feet. The doors then started to move and fully opened, and right in front for the two shibusen girls was Angron. He stood a towering 8 feet tall and looked like this vvvvv Hmmmm, I'm guessing you are the one who made all the noise?, he said looking down Lynn's direction. Then he looked at Vespera. From your cowering behind your friend, and the delicious smell of fear coming from you, you couldn't of done it. But I digress, come in, I love company. Angron said with an inviting tone turning his back and walked back inside.

"What the hell?" Lynn said as she staggered backwards. The floor was fucking shaking! How big could Angron be?! Well that question was answered as the large kishen stepped out the door. He stood a good three feet over the five foot tall meister. That was going to be her opponent? Most would of screamed or run away in the opposite direction after seeing this demonic creature. Not Lynn. Instead she stood there and stared up at her opponent with a blank face. And then the young meister... Smiled? Yes, a grin just formed on Lynn's face. Of course she was scared (who wouldn't be), but the stubborn girl refused to show any fear. From the kishen egg's comment it seemed that not only that he could sense fear, but he enjoyed it as well. And of course Lynn wasn't going to show any weakness to her enemy, that would be dumb in her part. Though she could tell her partner was a bit less confident than she was. "You're damn right I did! We are here to challenge you!" By the time Lynn responded to Angron's question if she was the one making the noise, he had already turned around and left, inviting them inside. For a kishen, he seemed quite civilized. When Lynn pictured a kishen egg she saw someone that more resembled a feral animal than an actual being. So him inviting them into the stadium was a bit strange in her eyes. Then again, it seemed that he did wear quite a few skulls on his body, probably from ex-victims/challengers, so she doubted this figure was anywhere near to cuddly or benevolent. Either way, she had to keep her guard up. Lynn then looked over to her partner and took her hand. "Come on, we can do this. He may be large, but you know what they say? The larger they are, the harder they fall," Lynn said with a smile and squeeze of her partner's hand. "So let's go!" Lynn tugged on Vespera's hand as she lead the way through the now open doors and into the stadium. She might not know what was ahead of them, but she was ready. Outfit

Vespera felt outright insulted by the Kishin's remark. OK, maybe she was like half a step behind Lynn, but she was standing next to her, not behind her! Vespera's not afraid, at least that's what she tells herself, but then she notices her legs are shaking and her teeth were practically clattering. This was alleviated when Lynn took her hand.
"Come on, we can do this. He may be large, but you know what they say? The larger they are, the harder they fall,"
"Right." she said, nodding her head at Lynn in confirmation.
"So let's go!"
Vespera simply nodded and let Lynn lead the way, trying her best to keep up side-by-side with her.

So you wish to take on my challenge. Very well. He then practically evaporated! Lynn and Vespera were confused, but then they looked up to see him in his personal skybox. Illusions, gota love 'em, but anyway, let the games begin! A gong then sounded out of nowhere. Round One! RELEASE THE FLESH HOUNDS!!! Doors then opened on the far side of the stadium, and out came... They growled and snarled as the five Flesh Hounds began to circle the two, foam pouring from their mouths. Then the Alpha Hound leaped in for the kill.

It was now or never. Vespera gulped out of nervousness and let go of Lynn's hand, moved in front of her, and jumped into the air. In a flash of light, she came back down as her weapon form: A 5-foot long metal bo-staff with reinforcement on one end.

Lynn even ran faster to catch Angron as he started to evaporate. As she reached out for him, all she got was a fistful of air. An illusion?! Lynn looked up to see the kishen egg up in a sky box above the stands. Had he been up there this whole time? And here she thought she might of had a chance to skip the other matches and just go straight for him. Well he must of predicted such a plan since the kishen egg sent out an illusion to greet them. Well now Lynn had to do something she has never been very fond of, playing by someone else's rules. Angron was clearly in control at the moment, but Lynn wasn't going to let that last. Distracted with her train of thoughts, the meister didn't even notice that the match began until she saw the flash of light from her partner transforming. Lynn leaped forward to catch the demon metal bo staff in her gloved hands. Even though this was the first time Lynn has ever seen Vespera in her weapon form or even held a staff, from watching higher belts at her martial arts studio she knew to hold the staff at invisible thirds marks. Maybe it wasn't a good idea they rushed into such a hard mission without too much training. Oh well, it's not like they can back down now. And she has always learned faster under pressure. "Hey Vi, you're not as heavy as I thought you would be," Lynn said once she had the staff in her hands. It was only as she said that when the meister realized that the match has begun and multiple hounds surrounded them. They kind of reminded Lynn more of demonic dinosaurs than hounds. Before she could count how many, one of the flesh hounds leaped forward at her. Counting only of reflexes, Lynn raised the metal staff above her head so the hound would attack that and not her head. While they didn't look like hounds, they seemed to act like them. Aiming for the neck when trying an instant kill was common with dogs and dog-like creatures. "Angron, you fucking son of a bitch! What the hell happened to "Ready, set, go!"?" Lynn exclaimed with the demonic dog-thing inches away from her face with only the metal bo staff between them. Lucky for her, the dog attacked from the front. With her being blind in her right eye, she wouldn't even see anything coming from her right until she either hears it or it's too late. Of course she was going to try not to let her opponent take advantage of this weakness and tried to keep her one eye as best focused on all the dogs. But first she had to get this one off of her! "Hang in there ViVi," Lynn said, not sure if this was hurting the weapon or not. The meister had both her feet shoulder width apart with her right foot in front of the left for balance. She was small and didn't want to be knocked over by the dog. Speaking of dogs, she knew that they tended to have weak underbellies. Maybe the same principle applied to these hounds. Well, it was at least worth a try. What other options did she have? Lynn slid her back foot forward and with all her might aimed her kick at the hound's exposed stomach. If that worked and weakened, or at least distracted, the beast then Lynn would attempt to throw the hound to one of the others so she could have those two at least distracted for a little bit while she dealt with the others. If that didn't work, Lynn would probably fall backwards onto her back from loss of balance with the staff still up protecting her. Obviously she hoped for the first scenario. Outfit

The hound let out a shriek from half of its rib cage breaking by the impact of Lynn's foot. The dog fell and laid there whimpering. Then two of the other dogs, one from the left, and one from behind started to run towards Lynn and Vespera, while the other two dogs waited their turn so they didn't get in the way of the other two.

Lynn gave a silent cheer as she heard that pleasing crack come from the hound as her foot made contact with its ribcage. Sadly she hadn't managed the strength to throw it on top of one of its companions. Oh well, at least that was one down. And she never really had the best of upper body strength. Well, now her concern was more focused on the remaining four dogs. Maybe the fifth as well if it ever recovers. For now, that whimpering dog was out of her mind. Especially since there were two more coming towards her. With two dogs coming straight towards her, she had to think fast. It almost seemed as if these hounds had everything planned out and weren't mindless beasts like Lynn had first thought. Each of the hounds, like a well-trained army, seemed to fight as if by cue or order and not just recklessly like wild animals. With this, and the fact that they outnumbered the team, it seemed this was going to be a difficult first battle for the meister. For now Lynn had to react on pure instinct and act on whatever comes to her mind. Not the best of plans, but that's all she got at the moment. Lynn gritted her teeth and ran towards the dog coming from behind. She attempted to use her momentum, as well as the hound's, against the beast. Before running into the hound, Lynn gave a spring to her step and attempted to slam the reinforced end of the staff on top of the beast's head, hopefully at least stunning it. Well most of her strength was coming from momentum. The negative consequence of her action? While doing this Lynn has left her right, and blind, side open for the other charging hound. It was only a little too late when the meister turned her head and found the hound closer than expected. The brunette raised the demon bo staff in a messy attempt to block the incoming attack. If she actually had managed to block, then either way her poor footwork would make Lynn fall onto her back from the weight of the dog. If she was too late, then there could me more trouble than just loosing her balance. Outfit

"Hang in there ViVi,"
Vespera had been feeling this stuff, but it didn't feel like pain. It was a feeling she couldn't describe, like it was there but it didn't hurt. It was weird.
As the first hound fell over, Lynn's quick thinking was inspiring to Vespera, but she noticed that Lynn was paying an unusual amount of attention to her right side. Eye movements, quick glances. What was up with that?
Whatever it was, she ended up failing to notice a hound coming up on her right until it was nearly on her. Was she distracted by something? Vespera tried to put it together, but all she could come up with right now was that Lynn was concerned about any pain she might be going through. As Lynn raised her to block the hound, she quickly said to her:
"Don't worry about me! Just keep your head in the fight!" She wanted to put Lynn at ease on that, but she felt like there was more going on, though, and it made her feel helpless that all she could do was be Lynn's weapon.
