And here we have it folks!

The end of what felt like the most intense match yet!

We finally have a victor, let’s all give our congratulations to Team MTAL!!!!

Team MTAL ( @americananime26 ) has ridden victory all the way to the top and it will be them who faces off against the Atlassian powerhouse that is Team ACAI ( @neopoliitan )!

Team ISPR ( @irohlegoman ) did a beautiful job themselves getting all the way to the semi-finals and deserve just as much praise!

Well, this is it.

The grande finale.

Team MTAL versus ACAI!

Let’s see who stands tall at the end!

The match will begin tomorrow to give the involved teams a break!

How interesting I might add, that the two in the finals are a Beacon and Atlas team. Schnee trained versus Schnee trained.

Let’s see who holds the family name better and whether the shining light of Beacon can prove itself to the militaristic might of Atlas!

Match 16 will begin...tomorrow?

Unfortunately, due to my working schedule on Fridays it’ll be a little awkward for me to start a match right now! Since I won’t be able to properly capture the victory moment and all.

Match 16 will be between Team SLAM ( @stutteringtony ) and Team ISPR ( @irohlegoman )!

It will also be the final doubles round, so if all victorious sponsors could get to me with their singles round participant that would be wonderful!!!

ISPR-ation speech

“Hey guys, I’m back from the leader meeting, and man was it a heavy topic,” Iroh said returning to Team ISPR’s quarters.

“What was it about, man,” said an orange-clad dark-skinned student, who stopped a conversation with their teammate to respond to their leader.

“Well Chris,” Iroh replied, “there’s a rumor a certain Ms. Doom-Of-All-Remnant is back.”

“Just say Cinder Fall,” the annoyed retort came from a girl in white with short, electric blue hair and eyes hidden behind signature purple sunglasses. “Stop being so cryptic. It’s alright or whatever in the field, but just say it in casual.”

“Cinder? As in the Fall of Beacon?” A nervous question from a purple frilled, orange suit to match orange-ish cat ears, chocolate skinned, voluptuous girl.

“It was not a ‘Fall’ if they took it back,” replied the orange-shirted, black-vested, mad inventor of a team leader. “But like I said, it’s a rumor.”

“But it still could happen right,” asked the blue-haired girl.

“Doubtful, but yes, Victoria,” replied Iroh.

“So what are we going to do?” asked the cheetah girl.

“Yeah, Raven’s right,” agreed Chris.

“Do what we always do, Fight and win.”

“But we don’t always win,” Victoria shot down his statement.

“Stop being so pessimistic right now. Sure we don’t win but we fight. Fight like you’ll never die, fight to stay alive, fight for the crown, fight to take them down, fight the Grimm and monsters, because we want to save lives,” he alluded to a song. “That’s what we as hunters are going to do. Cause as long as there’s evil heroes have to rise.”

“We aren’t hunters,” shot Victoria.

“Not yet,” countered Iroh, “But we will get there. But first, right now, we have a Vytal festival to win.”

“You know, man, we’re against a favorite to win, team VILT,” informed Chris.

“Didn’t VILT just beat OAKS?” asked Raven.

“No; different team VILT,” responded Chris.

“Going up against a favorite does not mean they’ll win, right Iroh?” questioned Victoria.

“I was wrong twice…” “Three.” “Three times. But you have to admit it was close.” A pregnant pause waiting for some sort of response, “well like she said, it doesn’t mean they’ll win. When we became a team, and I was appointed the team leader, I promised you guys that I’ll be the best team leader ever, and I won’t let you down…”

“You have,” interrupted Victoria.

Stink-eyeing Victoria, Iroh continued, “and… I lost my train of thought. One sec.” Iroh mumbled to himself of what he just said trying to get this thought. “Ah, ha,…and to be the best team…”

“We aren't,” interjected Victoria again. “We made it here through luck.”

Annoyed, Iroh replied, “luck or skill? We have been training together for a while. We know what to do if we lose our weapon. Chris, you lose Boulder and…”

“And I grab Vector,” showing his put together gun.

“And?”

“Drew,” Chris replied.

“Who?” Asked Raven.

“I mean and if you lose Vector?

"I cast fist. Or use my semblance.”

“Raven,” Iroh directed over to the cheetah girl, “what if using your weapon is not the best thing to use?”

“I’ll use my semblance.”

“And we can use each other's weapons,” Iroh turned to Victoria, with a big grin.

“You will not drop Marceline,” and Iroh slightly deflated. “But I will drop the bass when needed.”

“Not to mention our combos, 'Speeding bullet’, 'Sonic boom’, 'rocket man’, 'speed queen’, 'turn to 11’, and our powerhouse that will get us to the double immediately: 'Cat Call’. So believe in me who believes in you, and what we always do: Go, Fight, Win!” Iroh assured in full confidence, standing up with one foot raised on the chair.

“Was that one of your 'inspirational’ speeches?” Victoria asked annoyed.

Iroh, still on his confidence peak: “Yes.”

“Well it sucked,” and Iroh deflated.

“I thought it was good, man,” Chris tried to build him up.

“I just want a quick victory. I don’t want to workout too much,” replied Raven

“So what about the 'Cinder Fall rumor’?” Victoria brought the topic back up.

“We have a Vytal festival to worry about. However, if it is true, be ready to fight.” A small grin appeared on Iroh’s face, “I do not want to Fall by her hand.”

The team reeled back in disgust and horror of the absolutely terrible, bad pun their leader just made.

“I’m going back to my tunes,” Victoria turned to.

“I’m gonna...go not be here,” said Chris, stepping away to walk the waiting area.

“I’m going to the locker rooms, take a shower, this humidity is killing my hair and making me all icky,” Raven shivered.

“I guess I’ll go do something,” Iroh commented.

Information on Team ISPR participant!

(Team ISPR belongs to @irohlegoman )

Singles round participant: Victoria Scratch

Quick general description: Victoria is a childhood friend of Iroh. Her family moved to Minstral when she was a child, but visits her childhood town every so often for her grandparents. She is an aspiring musician, but when she found out her semblance, Amplification, she decided not only will she rock the crowd, but Grimm as well. She is 5’8, but tries to claim she is taller than Iroh. She is also a week older than him. Her weight is confidential [By student's request], but she is skinny, don't let her build deceive you. She has electric blue hair and red eyes. With her semblance, not only can she hear well, she can also see well in low light. Both her semblance, red eyes and night vision are from her [Heritage redacted at student's request].

Semblance: Amplification: ability to control sound and sound waves; basically air. She can make herself have super hearing, cancel out any noise, create any noise from memory and practice, and turn the bass up to 11.

Weapon: Marceline is a red ax bass. Not only will it function as a bass guitar, but also a double-bladed ax. It can also turn into a cannon, a bass cannon. Just don’t drop it

Personality: Victoria is a party girl. Contrary to her family, a somewhat high society family, she's a rebel. She can be a slob, forgetful, but she is in turn actually caring and will go out of her way for others. Her relationship with Iroh is that of a sibling or even an old couple. Deep down they both have feelings for each other. She is also a foil to Octavia of MMLK.

Outfit: A sturdy pair of non-marking white sneakers (don't scuff or stain) hold up the rest of her outfit of black skinny jeans and blue tank with white, full-zipper, light hoody. She wouldn't be caught dead without music headphones and her signature purple sunglasses (for hearing and eyes)

Information for Team ISPR

Team Name: Team INPR (Inspire) Sponsor: @irohlegoman School: Shade Academy

Team Member 1: Iroh Dragon         Quick general description: Iroh Dragon is an 18 year male from the North/East area of Vacou. He is a second year at Shade academy and leader of Team ISPR, and part of the team band of Inspired Dragons. Iroh stands with a height of 5’10; brown eyes and black hair are nothing to note. Being close to the seaside, Iroh was fascinated by the ships that came and went, and wondered how they worked. He would see badly damaged ships come in, not damaged by storms, but from sea-Grimm attacks. As sea-Grimm attacks were infrequent compared to land-Grimm, Iroh wants to defeat whatever Grimm he can. He plays keyboard and works the soundboard for the team band. From his fascination of how the boats work, he wanted to become an engineer. Coming of age he found he can manipulate dust into anything he wanted, calling it Manifestation. He also received a multitool, which he took apart to find out how it works. He builds his own weapons, however successful they might be; and builds and modifies other weapons.       Semblance: Manifestation: the ability to manipulate Dust. Blue and green work best. Red dust will make him lose control. The dust must be connected to him, which is why he wears a ring with a blue dust crystal on his right middle finger. It also takes a lot of focus to create, manifest, the dust objects.       Weapon: Wields several self-made weapons: a gauntlet worn on the left forearm that has a gun and a knife in it; it also has a deployable and detachable shield. “Obi” is an extendable pole; 8 inches collapsed, the hilt extends to a 3-foot pole which is then dust powered, to create a blade (think lightsaber). He also wears a jetpack for short jumps, wings folded, with wings out for flight.       Personality: Iroh is an ‘Idea Man’, coming up with insane ideas, most don't come to be for one reason or another. He is observant, combined with his ideas, comes up with numbers plans of actions, but also has trouble picking one. He can get very anxious in battle: can run headlong into battle flying-by-the-seat-of-his-pants, with outcomes more bad than good.       Outfit: Iroh’s combat uniform consists of black combat boots, blue jeans, and black undershirt with an orange light vest.

Team Member 2: Victoria Scratch         Quick general description: Victoria is a childhood friend of Iroh. Her family moved to Minstral when she was a child, but visits her childhood town every so often for her grandparents. She is an aspiring musician, but when she found out her semblance, Amplification, she decided not only will she rock the crowd, but Grimm as well. She is 5’8, but tries to claim she is taller than Iroh. She is also a week older than him. Her weight is confidential [By student's request], but she is skinny, don't let her build deceive you. She has electric blue hair and red eyes. With her semblance, not only can she hear well, she can also see well in low light.

Team Member 3: Chris Peele         Quick general description: Chris grew up in the wildlands (desert); the wild west as some call it, with his friend Waco Kidd of team MMLK. Being out on the range taught his many life lessons. He is a traditional person, but like some modern stuff as well. He is a closet [Redacted at student's request]. He is also black and wears glasses.       Semblance: Quake: earth-bending. Able to move raw earthen materials (no iron or pottery). Needs to be careful of moving the actual ground, for what’s underneath. Moving earth, ground, boulders, rocks, will feel like the real weight.       Weapon: Boulder is a 6 string guitar. Sometimes music soothes the savage beast. Guitar case doubles as a club, triples as a gun. Vector is a modified Strife pistol (made by Iroh). Modifications include higher power ammo and modular-pistol, carbine, and rifle forms.       Personality: He is a traditional person, but like some modern stuff as well. He is a closet [Redacted]. He likes modern music too. His catchphrase is “Blazing Saddles!”.       Outfit: Leather high boots, and faded/burnt orange trousers and long sleeve button work shirt. And a brown cowboy hat.
