[Vivi Orunitia]

Vivi had entered the tournament mostly because he thought Zidane might be there. Upon arriving and finding out about this "Hades," the littlest mage doubted that his friend would have touched this tournament with a ten foot pole. Zidane didn't seem like the type to be able to abide a self righteous and self absorbed God of Death; at least that's what Vivi had heard of this guy. Maybe it wasn't true? Because right there before Vivi's waking, glowing yellow eyes...

Was the happy thief himself.

He seemed to be cheering for Vivi... at least until he got a look at the opponent. This didn't really phase Vivi because by this point he kind of expected it. Zidane isn't the kind who can fight what he feels and if there's a pretty girl involved? Old habits didn't die hard, they were zombies. You could kill them over and over but they just keep coming unless you use a phoenix down... or you know... chopped off the head. Which that wasn't likely to happen. Vivi wouldn't let anyone take Ziddy's head; not even a super old, super powerful vampire hell bent on it.

Finally, the tiny mage adjusted his hat and turned to look at his opponent. She was a pretty girl. A lot taller than Vivi... but that wasn't new. It seemed like everyone was taller than him... Vivi had gotten used to tilting his head back to look into people's faces. It more or less felt natural now. Looking at her, Vivi wondered if she was a mage. Her outfit reminded him a tiny bit of Eiko Carol; only all grown up. Vivi caught himself wondering if Eiko had grown up like this. If she had, he'd never hear the end of the short and kid remarks. Oh well, he shrugged. Not like he didn't have bigger things to deal with.

The littlest mage figured he may as well introduce himself to his opponent, even though the brackets had said his name. So he walked up to her quietly and held out a gloved hand.

"H-Hello. I'm Vivi Orunitia... N-nice to meet you. G-good Luck."

[Serah Farron]

( I can already tell that this is going to be a rather redic battle XD Neither of them are really like AW YEAH FIGHTING XD )

Serah had a few reasons for entering this tournament, one of which was similar to Vivi’s. What easier way was there to find the people that she cared about? Sure, there was a particular “hero” she needed to talk to that this decision was based on… but it was almost as equally likely that anyone else would be here in some sense, knowing her friends.
Serah’s other reason however, probably wouldn’t be expected of the younger Farron sister. She wanted to prove herself. If anyone was watching, she wanted to show them that she could handle things on her own. Most, if not all her life she had been pretty sheltered: by Lightning, or Snow, even Noel to an extent.
Serah shook her head, thinking of her time traveling companion. He was probably the most understanding of what she could do. They’d even done something similar to this tournament together as a team… Although she sure hoped this wasn’t going to be as difficult as the Coliseum was. This competition wasn’t pulling people from the entire timeline, or at least she hoped not.

Serah walked out into the area, wondering who she would have to face first. She held a little tightly onto Mog, who had already transformed into her bow to avoid any suspicion of her working with someone else. She stopped a few feet away from who she was guessing was her opponent. She smiled at him, naturally, it wasn’t really in her nature to be super pissed all the time. That was more so her sisters thing.
She guessed that the little… heck she didn’t know what he was’s name was Vivi on the count of hearing another stranger cheering for him. She rolled her eyes however at the comment towards her. She looked around and unfortunantly didn’t see anyone that she knew… disappointing.

Serah held her bow flat against her front, waiting for this fight to start.
She adjusted her position slightly, seeing as Vivi started walking towards her. Serah took a few steps back, unsure of what she should do, but stopped as she didn’t actually think the little guy was out to attack her… yet.
“I’m Serah Farron, Nice to meet you as well Vivi.” She said and shook his hand quickly. It was unfortunate that her first opponent had to be someone so adorable… This would make things difficult. She didn’t want to hurt him, he seemed so nice! But oh well that is how these things go…
“Ready to get started then?” she asked, tightening her fingers around the pink circular handles she used to pull her bow back to fire it.

[Vivi Orunitia]

Vivi wasn't particularly surprised that she seemed hesitant to shake his hand and did so quickly. In his mind, it was because of the stigma over the blackmages that lived on Gaia;the ones that were simply soldiers of destruction and good for little but burning, breaking and killing.

...the ones that died after only a year of life, and with no conscious of their own...

As much as Vivi didn't want people to think that the black mages were still like that, he had entered this tournament, despite obvious implications, and so he would not back down. He would fight with compassion, determination and all the intelligence he could muster, unlike the mindless, voiceless foot soldiers the mages had once been.

Vivi stepped back and began loosening himself up, beginning his usual battle dance of hopping from one foot to the other. Vivi lacked speed and grace and he knew this better than anyone; but luckily his size and luck usually made up for such disadvantages. From what Vivi could see, and he was no stranger to appearances begin deceiving, the girl used a bow. So she'd be taking long range shots at him. This was likely going to end up being a fire fight of long distances. It would make things a little more difficult for him... but maybe...

The tiny mage lifted his staff and began swirling it around, a lovely blue magic circle lit up on the ground around him. As he lifted his staff, water sprayed up from the ground in front of the girl and in a few places around the battlefield. With another flick of his staff, the mage turned all of the pillars of water into ice stalagmites; there was a chance these could hurt her, but most likely, Vivi could use these to hide behind, make a direct attack more difficult and, of course, deflect arrows. Not that these clear ice formations would offer hiding spots for either of them.

From behind his ice pillar, Vivi called out to his opponent.

"S-sorry about this... b-but... I d-don't want to g-get hurt...anymore than I w-w-want to hurt you. S..So..."

( Hopefully I’m doing this right. I’m not great a fighting RPing haha)

I don’t see how people get enjoyment out of this… Serah thought, shifting uneasily. Maybe joining in this tournament was a bad idea…. Thus far this wasn’t like the coliseum at all ( not that she’d rather have done that on her own.)
At least before, aside from being by Noel’s side, all the opponents had been eager to get the fight going… or where just creepy enough to make her want to kick their ass. ( Stupid Octopus)
That however wasn’t how this was turning out…

Serah watched cautiously as Vivi began to cast a spell. So he was a magic user as well. She probably could have guessed that to be honest, but Serah wasn’t one to particularly think ahead about these sorts of things. She glanced around the field to see what he was doing but was suddenly surprised by the water coming out of the ground.
Serah jumped back, mostly from surprise, verses any fighting instinct, so the ice just narrowly missed her.
“No need to apologize, I understand.” Serah called back, scanning around, looking for where he was. “You seem nice and I don’t want to hurt you…” she paused, sighing. “But the people I love may be watching me, and I can’t let them down. I have no other choice.”

He is smart. He’s made it so my bow difficult to use. She thought to herself, taking a step forward. She didn’t really want to make the first big move… that never seemed like the best option to her… but in this case it seemed to her at least like the best chance at a surprise attack. Serah took a few more steps forward before she darted off, running towards where she had assumed Vivi was. Luckily for her, speed was something that was usually on her side; her long slender legs allowed her to move about quickly without much trouble. She held out her bow to her side, allowing Mog to make a quick switch over to the sword form of her weapon.
Then taking her sword by the handle and the back, she made a swipe for the ice pillar using Flamestrike. Even if she were to completely miss Vivi, it would still do some damage to the ice, which could help her later.

[Vivi Orunitia]

Luckily for VIvi, he had moved just as she had struck. feeling the flames of her magic strike, he ducked down and scrambled over further into th ice forestandadjusted his mage hat. the littlest mage had noted that she was no longer carrying her bow... that was no good... now he'd have to worry about close range combat. not his strong suit. briefly wondering where it had gone, the tiny mage began coming up with a plan. these pillars would come in handy for the continuation of his new course of action. scurrying forth, he began casting another spell and darted forward to where he had felt the flames of her spell. he then answered her, "I do, too. I am sorry... but... I can' t lose." a brilliant red flame shot straight up to announce his location and then descended on the ice, making more of it melt and splash down everywhere.

[Serah Farron]

Serah was becoming rather confused as to Vivi’s strategy. To her, using the ice pillars had made sense, it was a smart idea. Those just made it more difficult for her to do anything. But now what was he doing? Had her ability to switch her weapon really messed him up that much? Serah laughed lightly to herself. Well is he in for a surprise then
Serah held up her sword as Vivi came closer to her again. Instinctively, Serah backed away but was even more confused when the fire spell didn’t seem to have been directed towards her, but more so the sky. What was he doing that for? Serah shook her head. I can’t think about this too much. She told herself in thought. She had a bad habit of over thinking things.
Serah raised her sword to run after Vivi again but she then discovered what may have been a reason for the ice melting. As she started to run forward, the water that was now on the ground was causing it to be rather slippery. Serah slipped, but managed to catch herself, not falling completely on her face. She knelt on the ground, and quickly raised her bow again. She wasn’t about to let a little incidence on clumsiness mess up her attack.
She quickly fired an Arrow towards Vivi, this time using Sparkstrike , allowing her arrow to have a bit of an electrical punch to it if connected.


(I put this here as reference for you, that is Serah’s current position.)
