"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!" A Booming and energetic voice explodes through the speakers set up around the enormous stadium. A deep and gravely voice, like someone who spent too much time smoking and decided now would be a good time to start screaming for their entire life. "WELCOME TO THE FORTIETH BIANNUAL VYTAL FESTIVAL!" The crowd erupted into a ceremonious cheer, whoops and hollers came from all corners of Remnant as people tuned into the match from home. "I AM YOUR ANNOUNCER, VULCO DENTRES, AND I WILL BE SERENADING YOU WITH THE SOOTHING SOUND OF MY VOICE DURING THE COURSE OF THE MATCH- JUST KIDDING, F ҉ ҉ KERS-" A loud, annoying BEEEP filled the arena. Of course, this of all events was kid friendly. "WHY WOULD I DO THAT!? I'M GOING TO SIT BACK AND LET YOU ENJOY THE PURE UNBRIDLED COMBAT! PREPARE YOURSELVES, IN THIS PRELIMINARY ROUND, WE HAVE TWO BEACON STUDENTS, DESPITE ONE BEING FROM SHADE AND BETRAYING THEIR OWN KINGDO- ONCE AGAIN, GETTING WORD ON NOT TALKING POLOTICS. YOU'D THINK THAT THEY WOULD JUST CENSOR ME AT THIS POINT, BUT I GUESS YOU CAN'T STOP THE VULCO TRAIN, BABY! ANYWAY, IN THE FIRST CORNER, WE HAVE BIANCA LI, TRAITOR TO VAC- F ҉ ҉ K OFF, DEREK- ESTEEMED STUDENT OF BEACON, AND ABSOLUTE MONSTER ON THE FIELD! IN THE OTHER CORNER, WE HAVE JACK PETTIBONE, AND LET ME JUST TELL YOU, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE IMPARTIAL, BUT OH MY GOD- HIS WEAPON IS JUST F ҉ ҉ KING BOMBS, THAT'S AMAZING! BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THEM, LET'S SEE WHAT THEY'LL BE FIGHTING IN. TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL SPINNER, OR AS I LIKE TO CALL IT, THE ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL SPINNER! ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ISN'T THE SAME THING AS POLITICS, DEREK, SHUT UP!" The crowd, though somewhat confused, cheered heartily.
A large holographic image of a lottery machine appears on all sides of the arena, with two spinners. The spinners spun so quickly, making it nearly impossible to make out the passing words. It ticked through the options slower and slower until it finally stopped on River and Tundra.
A loud laugh came from the speakers. "OH GOD, IT'S ATLA-" Before he could finish, his feed is cut off with a crackle of the speakers.
The floor of the arena lowered and, in its place, arose two new floors. Bianca's half was a rushing river, flowing from a melting portion of Jack's side, complete with a rocky riverbank, and holographic salmon, swimming against stream into nothingness, and Jack's half become winter wonderland, complete with snowy hills, snow covered evergreens, and a light snowfall seemingly coming from nowhere.
Just then, the doors on each side of the arena opened and, from them, out strolled the combatants.
(A coin flip decided Jack gets the first post. The arena size is that of the 1v1 arena in the show, but still features biomes, though scaled down. Good luck, contestants.)
Just before the combatants began their battle, the speakers crackled on once more, briefly. "NO BREAKS ON THE VULCO TRAIN, BABY!"
