NAYRU CLASS SEMIFINALS: MATCH FIVE
The shadow of Rudioso’s perch casts itself over the audience, acting as the gnomon of an immense, island-wide sundial. As it creeps across a break in the audience’s next column, the shadow splits and extends wide, reflecting the abrupt split-second spread of the bellbird’s wings.
“Zoras and Gorons, Hylians and otherwise!” he calls out. “WHOOOOOO’S READY FOR THE NAYRU-CLASS QUARTERFINALLLLLLS?!”
The audience, never one to miss a beat, roars its approval.
The pantomime will never fail. The audience roars harder.
“ALL RIGHT! Now…S.M.A.S.H.-ers, if you’re anything like me, any time there isn’t a battle raging in the Arena, it feels like an eternity. Why, we’ve only been out twenty minutes, but for me? It felt like a moooonth.”
He beams at their laughter, making jovial eye contact with spectators throughout the crowd.
“Ah, but let’s fix that, shall we? Get some blood PUMPING through those veins! YOU WANT TO SEE SOME FIGHTS?!”
This time, he cackles through the cheers.
“OF COURSE YOU WANT TO! And how could we possibly deny you?! All right, S.M.A.S.H.-ers, you know how this works. On your left: our first Nayru Class victor! He’s a man of small stature and very few words, but this warrior staged a stunning upset over that painter-turned-pugilist Kezo! Can the Pumpkin Bomber maintain his winning streak, or will he meet his gourdy demise against his newest opponent?! Either way…fans and fighters of the Shattered Mast Keys, will you put your hands together for the Scourge of the Squash, the Mute Madman, BOOOOOOB KOBLIIIIIIIN?!” @gohan2z
And on your right…the victor of our second battle! They’ve proved their mettle across land and sky, and kicked our Scourge of the Steppe down the Stairway to Defeat! Will our Yiga Killer put some smash on these pumpkins? Or will our Shiekah Showstopper find failure at the end of these fortified fists?! On behalf of the Master of Ceremonies, will you give a chelonian cheer for the Violent Violet, our flash-stepping Soldier Supreme, VAAAAAAAAATIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?! @kakarikotrio
“SPECTACULAR! I know you all are looking forward to this as much as I am - so on the count of three!”
“THREE! LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
