Taking On a Titan (Closed RP)

“Ghost? Oh, ya mean my lil’ bro behind me?” The Gallade asked with a cheeky grin. “Nah, Eudai ain’t much for fighting. He’s more of the building and science kind of guy. Plus he always said these events were… were… What did you say they were?” Yemir questioned Eudai. The Mismagius seemed tired, yet mustered the energy to respond.
“Pretentious. At least from my point of view.” Eudai stated softly with an expression of gloom on his face. “Ah, right, that. Well, I suppose I can hog enough glory for the both of us, heh.” Yemir chuckled in a confident tone. Though she had been paying attention to the two fighter’s conversation the whole time. At Alyx’s remark that she should register to fight them, Yemir pulled out a sheet of paper before shoving it into Alyx’s face. “Read it and weep, lads. A two vs one match, starring yours truly! I never keep a good fight waiting! In fact, our match should be starting any minute now!” Yemir proclaimed with genuine excitement in her eyes as she dashed towards the arena, leaving Eudai to keep them company. Turning to face the fighters, the Mismagius coughed awkwardly into his tassel.
“I do apologize for my sister’s behavior. She can get carried away at times, too often I might add.” Eudai stated in an apologetic tone, though he seemed to perk up a bit as he could hear Yemir calling for him in a distance. “Seems I must return to her. I just hope she doesn’t cause too much damage like last time…” Eudai muttered quietly as he floated off to meet his sister.
Alyx winced at the paper being shoved into his face, eyes shut and making an uncomfortable frown before backing up and getting a better look at the paper. It was admittedly hard to believe, to him anyway. This got approved? He didn’t know whether to be amazed that this was allowed or to feel somewhat bad, being none the wiser. Regardless, he watched as the puny ghastly Gallade make her way towards the stadium, letting out a sigh.
“Well... they showed me, I guess,” the carefree blader exhaled defeatedly.
“We’ll see how it goesss...” Masou hissed, before turning his attention over to Eudai. The reptile merely shook his head. “Don’t apologize, we see plenty of thissss here. It’s nothing new.”
Once Eudai made his way over, Masou looked up at his white compatriot, whose face still showed reluctance, in the pitying sense.
“Well... it’s more money, I guess, right?”
“With a match like thisss set up for us without warning, I have more concerns than just the cash, Alyx.”
“Good point.”
“ ... Regardless...” the shady Scrafty muttered, turning his attention towards the gateway to the stage. “... it’sss time to go. Get ready for anything.”
Masou wasted no time making his way out into the open battlefield, with Alyx tagging along just behind. They made their way to one edge of the large platform, lights shining on -- and following -- the formidable duo as the crowd cheered their familiar appearances. Across from them, the two could see Yemir, and shortly afterwards, in buzzed Rhoslyn, the pink Scizor, whipping out her mic to address the audience.
“ALRIGHT EVERYONE, ARE WE READY FOR A FRESH NEW CHALLENGE?!” yelled out the rose-colored mantis, as the viewers responded with roaring enthusiasm. Meanwhile Alyx and Masou glanced at one another at that one particular phrase.
“New challenge?” they resounded to one another.
“Hoo alright, in this side, we got two members of the rising Valorous Hearts team; the fair cavalier Alyx and the rogue-ish reptile Masou, up and roaring for a good fight!” Rhoslyn gave the crowd time to cheer them on, then turned everyone’s attention to the opposing side.
“And on THIS side, we have a newcomer; an up-and-comin’, ghastly-lookin’ gladiator, with a set of teeth that nightmares dream of, give it up for YEMIR~! YEP! A TWO ON ONE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOU’RE SEEING THIS RIGHT! What could we expect to see out of THIS?!”
“ ... Be on your guard, Alyx...” Masou whispered to the Gallade, who just gave him a reluctant face.
“I still say this is gonna be over way too quick. What ARE they expecting out of this?”
