Prince Spectoros:
 Welcome to the annual tournament, where five of you can end up joining the fierce militia of the whole kingdom. Today we have ten contestants; Arse (Ar-say), Tare (Tar-ay), Nara (Nar-a), Arne (Are-nay), Erlu (Err-lue), Dyholu (Dye-hall-oo), Pathu (Path-oo), Rafrati 
(Raf-rat-ee), Autipo (Aw-tee-poe), and my personal favorite and fierce friend Whiskers. My dad will explain more about it so I will turn it over to him. Good luck my great people!

King Zyazitu:
 Hello kingdom of Draemuria (Dray-mur-ee-ah)...

Crowd:
 *cheering* *screaming*

King Zyazitu:
 Today determines tomorrow, one of you will become a Royal Guard and the other four will make it into the army. The rules are simple... There will be a couple of challenges; archery, sword fighting, swimming, jumping, and the final boss. One person will be eliminated each round.
Except for the jumping round which will eliminate all but five contestants who will then proceed to the final boss. Whoever ends up killing the boss first will win the Royal Guard Badge. The other four will win the Freedom Badge. There will be No killing each other, cheating, or bad sportsmanship. First challenge will be archery...

Everyone step up to your positions and go when ready. You get three arrows, the one with the least amount of points will be eliminated.

*They all fire three arrows*

Tare, I am afraid you have the least amount of points. You are eliminated from the tournament. Better luck next year! The next challenge is sword fighting. In front of you are captured Undead Army members. They will be released and the one who ends up with the least amount of kills in the end will be eliminated... Open the gates!

*Once King Zyazitu opened the gates hundreds of captured Undead Army members came rushing out. They started tearing everything in their path.*

Arse:
 Hey, Nara!

*Swords clashing in the background*

Nara:
 What?

Arse:
 Want to team up?

Nara:
 It is against the rules automatically though.

Arse:
 Just do make it obvious and we will be fine. I will help you win by weakening them and you finish them. I will not get any points, but you will.

Nara:
 Okay, if you really do not want the points then lets do it.

The fighting continued on for thirty minutes more. The score was as follows; Arse - 0, Nara - 89, Arne - 23, Erlu - 41, Dyholu - 56, Pathu - 65, Rafrati - 10, Autipo - 57, and Whiskers - 78

Prince Spectoros:
 Dad, Arse and Nara teamed up to boost Nara's overall score. That is why Arse has no points. I saw what happened as well.

 

King Zyazitu:
 I see... Very well it looks like we will have an early elimination of two individuals.

*Zyazitu proceeds to the microphone*

It will appear as though we have two cheaters in the tournament...

Crowd:
 Boo! Booo!

King Zyazitu:
 Settle down...

Crowd:
 Boooo!! Booooo!!

King Zyazitu:
 Settle down!!!

Crowd:
 ...

King Zyazitu:
 Arse and Nara step up to the podium.

*They proceed to the podium*

Son, explain your case...

Spectoros:
Arse and Nara, you have been caught cheating.

Arse and Nara:
What?!?!?

Spectoros:
Arse I saw you weaken the enemies, then following behind Nara proceeded to finish the weakened enemy. That is a form of teaming and is not allowed! Care to explain yourselves?

Arse:
I thought I killed them I did not know they were only weakened!

Nara:
Yea! I saw that she was not killing them so I followed behind her and finished them off.

King Zyazitu:
Arse your telling me that you did not realize that they were not dead! How dumb do you have to be to not realize that something is dead! How d...

Spectoros:
Father, please...

King Zyazitu:
*sigh* Both of you are to be eliminated and banned from ever coming to a tournament again.

Arse and Nara:
But we...

King Zyazitu:
Out!!!

Arse:
I am sorry to interrupt the tournament, but sir I...

King Zyazitu:
Enough!! Guards remove both of them from the stadium!

Guards:
Yes sir!

King Zyazitu:
Lets move on to the next round which is swimming. Swimming is a no elimination challenge so it is just to see what your skills are at in this field. All you have to you do is go from one end of the river to the other and back. If you run out of energy just wave your hands and you will be returned to shore and you will just sit and wait for the others to finish. Begin!

They all swim to one side but on the way back one of them starts loosing track of their energy.

Arne:
I... *huff* Can't... *puff* Do this, I am loosing my breath.

Narrator:
Erlu stops to talk to Arne.

Erlu:
Come on Arne you can do this, swim with me!

Arne:
No, wouldn't that be considered cheating?

Erlu:
It should not be, this is an non-elimination round.

Arne:
Right.

Erlu:
Come, put on your arm around my neck and I will help you swim to shore.

Arne:
Thanks!

Narrator:
Once they got back to shore the challenge was over.

King Zyazitu:
Very good. Very good indead! We are ready to move on to the next challenge which is jumping! Care to explain Spectoros?

Spectoros:
With honor. Jumping will consist of jumping funny enough.

Crowd:
*laughing*

Spectoros:
There will be obstacles all you have to do is avoid them by jumping. If you slip or fail at all you will loose points. Two individuals will be eliminated in this round remember... 3... 2... 1.. Start!
 
 
Whiskers and four others are holding through the competition but Arne and Erlu are falling behind. The challenge continues on and Arne starts loosing concentration and balence.
 
 
King Zyazitu:
And...... Stop!! It appears that Arne and Erlu will be eliminated from the tournament.
 
 
*Pathu step up to the podium*
 
Pathu:
Uh, your majesty?
 

King Zyazitu:
Yes?

Pathu:
I will proudly go out of the tournament instead of Erlu. He helped Arne when we were in the swimming challenge. Which shows dedication and great honor.

King Zyazitu:
I am sorry but I cannot allow you to take his place.

Pathu:
Very well.

*Pathu then steps down from the podium and briefly talks to Erlu*

Pathu:
I loved the fact that you helped Arne out, I wish I was able to take your place.

Erlu:
Thanks, but don't sweat it I deserve to be eliminated. I tried my hardest, but failed. I will try again next year. Have a good time and good luck!

Pathu:
I will!

King Zyazitu:
Ok I am proud to announce the five individuals who will now proceed to fighting the boss challenge. Dyholu, Pathu, Autipo, and Whiskers. Good luck to all of you! Spectoros tell them the rules.

Spectoros:
Ok so you are allowed to team up in this round obviously. However only one will get the title of Royal Guard. First one to kill it gets it. The rest will be enrolled into the army. Release the beast!!

From there it seemed that no one could even injure it, let alone defeat it. However, Whiskers had a plan...

Whiskers:
Dyholu, how much do you want the Royal badge?

Dyholu:
I do not want it all.

Whiskers:
Do you want to help me get it then?

Dyholu:
Sure! What do you need me to do?

Whiskers:
I need you to gather up everyone else and tell them to focus on the front of...

*Boom!*

Whiskers:
Was that a rock?!? Nevermind that, anyways tell them to focus on the front of the monster.

Dyholu:
Okay. Everyone! Gather up and focus on attacking from one side of him, stick together.

Beast:
Rawrrrrr! Aughhhhh!!! Big bones!! Rawrr!!

Now that the focus was one way instead of scattered, Whiskers pounced over to the back of the monster. Then with one good leap, he jumped onto its back and stabbed his sword through the beast. The monster tried to shake him off, but it was only a matter of time before it took one last breath and then fell to the ground. The battle was over...

Rafrati:
Oh my gosh, I did it! I killed the monster! I can't wait to become a Royal Guard. I can eat big meals, wear rich things, be next to...

King Zyazitu:
Looks like that was a tough battle! Would everyone step up to the podium please.

Everyone then stepped up to the podium.

King Zyazitu:
Dyholu, you have won a Freedom badge.

Dyholu:
Sweeeeeet!

King Zyazitu:
Pathu, you have won a Freedom badge.

Pathu:
Great.. Just what I wanted...

King Zyazitu:
Rafrati, you have won a Freedom badge.

Rafrati:
Dang! I thought I killed it first! This is rigged. Rigged! Rigged I tell you!

King Zyazitu:

Autipo:

Rafrati:

Spectoros:

Rafrati:

Spectoros:

Rafrati:

Crowd:

King Zyazitu:

Spectoros:
