Round 5

"I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be alone."

The increasingly heartwrenching cries of the dolls serenaded the students as they crashed through the streets like a bull in a... burning village?

Nevertheless their efforts seemed to be working. The end of the road was in sight and with it a whole new problem.



Behind the group several even louder thumps resounded as the giants chasing them crumpled lifelessly to the ground, their flames siphoned in a wide arc going over the group and all the way to the figure in the distance. A fiery cocoon formed around the cause of the calamity heralding a worse threat to come. Yet there were gaps in it including a large hole at the front. The early passing of three of the titans had left a weakness to be exploited. The only question was how.

As the group drew nearer to the target the dolls stopped as well, a hint of a saddened expression on their faces. Soft, pleading cries escaped them as their trembling arms continued to reach for the nearest students.

The curtain drew near and the finale abounded. Yet if left uninterrupted it was bound to be beyond the capabilities of our young heroes. Something had to be done. Fast.

✧ ARMOR WARS: ARENA 2 ✧

Round 5

Like the shadow of death the outline of the Zeppelin hung heavy over the mountain, stopping above the group of innocent students with a loud creak. The creak of a hatch opening and dropping its payload.

The time it took the Zeppelin to reach this far was all several enterprising heroes needed to attempt to stop it. Kaida's stun beams fire at their target, intending to end the conflict before it can escalate further. Yet at the same time Jack and Michael combine their efforts to devastating effects, sending Jack flying towards the bomb. The closeness to Michael's shield meant that the beam intended for Jack came right at him instead, just as the other one flew straight at Gen. 

Above, the dragonman flew straight towards calamity, turning into a spinning mass of vines accompanied by a passionate shout that resounded through the arena and colliding with a devastating impact and causing it to detonate far enough above the crowd that most remained unharmed. Yet even once the explosion faded there was no longer any sign of Jack.



"To be a hero is to get back up when you fall. A hero isn't someone that necessarily succeeds from the get go every time but someone that continues striving against all odds. Never give up, no matter what happens."

"YYYEEAAAAAHHHH!!! You tell 'em, Windfall. No matter what it takes, no matter the price or the cost. Keep fighting. PLUS. ULTRA!!!"

Their words weren't empty nor were they unheard, for even if not as many people still stood atop the peak as before a stalwart few yet remained. Nor did their numbers solely shrink, for more and more contestants were nearing the peak. Closest to reaching it at present was Kaida Ikarashi, mere moments from claiming her place at the top. 

With the two Pros' heartfelt message resounding throughout the arena even some of the more unfortunate and foolhardy contestant could hear it. At the very edge of the arena Jack reappeared in a flash of blue light not unlike the one given off by the inventory whenever an item was manifested and ahead of him several of the others that were seemingly taken out by the rockslide were running to catch up despite their disadvantage.

The spirit of heroism was alive and present, whether it be through Kaida's unrelenting journey to the top, Michael's valiant attempt to protect his fellows, Jack's sacrifice or Gen's -charitably interpreted- attempt to provide adversity to overcome. 

Little time remained to reach the top. Who would reach it and manage to stay there until the very end only time could tell.
