9th Official Tournament — Round 3
DIVISION 1 – Drizzling Rain, DG-P
As soon as Dr. death111 walked out of the hut, kefkaesque bolted up. “Is she still alive?”
“CarrotCake94’s doing well,” the good doctor replied. “Her pulse is down to 78 BPM, but the rhythms are stable – still a couple of jolts here and there, though.”
“Jolts? What jolts?”
“Nothing too alarming. Sometimes her heartbeat shifts a 48th, sometimes it runs 24ths instead of 16ths, and sometimes it staggers its rhythms a little.”
Above the remaining survivors of District 1, storm clouds began to form.
DIVISION 2 – Exodus (On Vocal ver.), Y-NRG System
“Quick! More Hatsune!” screamed Pizza69; soramimi turned the volume on her iPod up to full blast. They had finally found Soular Order’s weakness, as the wicked beat wizard recoiled, horrified at these mystic vocals he had never heard before.
“RARAWR!” roared RARAWR, clapping his paws in happiness.
With a steady beat (a healthy 160 BPM) to keep the room stable, gravity had returned to normal, but some of District Two’s finest were having trouble keeping steady. Yellow arrows whizzed by here and there, forcing people to jump and avoid them. But they’d get out of here alive yet.
DIVISION 3 – Aishiteru Yo Ne, Virtual Riot ft. Miss Neko
_Rainbow Dash_ swallowed another gulp of water as another flock of nekos swarmed around him. These weren’t your average mermaids. Nekos were fierce computerized warriors, a experiment the Virtual Riot movement had started that had gone bad. Armed with leeks and dubstep, they were so intimidating that he now wondered if going down with the ship would have been the easier way to die.
One neko approached and attacked, slapping her tail back and forth across his face rhythmically: he saw stars red, blue and yellow. Others joined in the attack and before long he was taking three slaps at once, getting flung into 24th swing rhythms like a rag doll, and generally not having the time of his life. Despite what his name suggested, he did not enjoy the rainbows splattered across his perception, and before long he couldn’t see anything but raw, unrelenting pain.
DIVISION 4 – Over the Bridge, G5 Project
TheSaxRunner05 ran across to his teammates. “Grandma’s fine! She baked me cookies. What did I miss?”
“A lot, douchedick!” screamed Sgt. Traveler, spittle forming at his mouth. “Now get your ass on down here, boy, time’s short!”
“Watch out!” BattleBears waved hysterically, frantically motioning at the rioters approaching our doomed saxophone runner.
Alas, it was too late, and District Four watched as their friend was torn to pieces. BattleBears turned to his sergeant. “What do we do now, commander?”
“Quick, you scoundrels! There’s a bridge there! It’s long and a little unstable, so make sure you don’t slip!”
DIVISION 5 – Requiem -Dies irae-, Colorful Sounds Port
The blood of the slain summerghost on his hands, Hateandhatred grimaced. It had taken seven days and cost at least ten lives, but the spirit was done for.
“Where do we go from here?” grunted omega_grunt666.
“I DON’T KNOW LOL,” giggled FontSize72LOL.
Hateandhatred turned to his comrades and took control. “Our strategy was underwater subterfuge, but we don’t have a submarine anymore. The Port of Colorful Sounds is two days’ walk from here. If we can make it through that suspiciously dark forest, we’ll be there in no time.”
“But senpai, I heard there are…monsters! And bats! And POLYRHYTHMS! Aaaaah!”
He turned to supermoe1985, who, being older than him, was technically his senpai, and sighed. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
And District Five stepped tentatively, perhaps foolishly, into a wasteland of dead choir victims and wicked piano runs.
DIVISION 6 – The Steel Monster Above the City, Kitsune^2
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Not that dAnceguy117 hadn’t been happy to see General McKnuckle’s fleet absolutely decimated…if only their savior hadn’t turned out to be even more awful. The entire reason he had joined the army was to travel, and this was one story he’d get to tell his grandchildren someday – granted, of course, that he survived. Which, looking at the 200-foot monster above him spitting out 24ths and 32nds every which way, was probably going to be a crapshoot.
DIVISION 7 – Wraith, Adraen
scottiena saw another volley of 16th jumps flying his way. “Hang on, guys!”
Only sixteen tributes were left hanging on the edges of Airship Adraen as it whirled across the sky at 215 BPM. Waiting out the devastation on the ground had seemed like a smart idea until the rulers of the Tournament had thrown a wrench into their plans. Wouldn’t want the viewership numbers to drop too low, eh?
Drones followed, firing bullets into the flaming hull of Adraen. They were rigid, precise attacks, delivered in rapid one-two taps and never letting up long enough for anybody to get the ship back under control. All they could do was hang on and hope that by the blind force of their grips they wouldn’t drop 35,000 feet to a gruesome death.
This war of attrition was no longer something they could avoid. This war was everywhere. This war was now their own.
