"I'm done reasoning with you. I know, just as Broly did, that to enter the light while steeped in darkness will only destroy you. The light will sooner burn and scorn us then accept us. For now... I plan to win... I can morn Broly later." Raider said, not without a hint of sadness in his voice, as he climbed to the top of the dome. "Thank's for the shield by the way, It makes tactics I would not be able to use because of the audience more... available." He added, this time with an obvious malice, while pulling a medium sized package out of his bag and unwrapping it, revealing what was unmistakably a pound of C4 wrapped in a layer of glass shards and nails. There was enough C4 to send the shrapnel flying hard enough to maim, possibly severely injure, but not kill. He set the timer for 4 seconds and immediately dropped it in the hole before jumping up again should the shield shatter beneath him.

Shining kept the larger shield up, but also covered himself with a shield to protect him from the blast and shrapnel. When the explosion was over Shining dropped both shields. "You reveal just how little you really know about the light." He said still smiling. "The light will only destroy the darkness inside of you, but since you've bonded so closely with darkness it must feel like it's destroying you. But if winning is your goal, so be it. I forfeit the match, I give up. I've already received my wish and I didn't even have to win to do it. I've been such a silly pony." Shining laughed.

Although a little puzzled Raider just looked at Shining with his straightest, most serious face, "Well that makes one of us... And not even a single apology for killing my best friend..." Raider turned away and started walking, "And don't come to his funeral or we'll have two coffins." Raider said and left with such speed it caused a small vacuum in his wake. After he left the arena seemed to brighten ever so slightly, like the anger Raider brought left with him. Some of the night elves left as well, going off to do who knows what. Juri peeked from over the arena floor. "Well... I guess the winner of this round is Raider." Juri said jumping on to the floor, "Our next match is (see OOC ). Do we have someone going to get Raider? He'll need to be here for the final match or he'll forfeit." she said and a night elf jumped to the stage, "Some of our rogues just went out to collect him. We know he can be hasty at times but I think we can reason with him and get him back in time." He said and Juri nodded. The night elf left to join in the search and Juri turned to Shining, "You may be to the Infirmary and get healed before you go home, unless you intend to stay and watch."
OOC: The next round should technically be Leroy vs Raider but I COMPLETELY forgot about Leroy vs Might Guy. I'm not sure how we should continue so I'll let you make the call. I feel I can play Raider but not Raider's Leroy Jenkins. Not to mention, according to Raiders lore, Might Guy and Leroy should know each other which only complicates things.

ooc: Ooh! Ooh! Can Guy beat Leroy and then have it be Guy vs Raider in the last match? We could make it real quick with hidden lotus and releasing the third gate. Shining looked confused for a moment at what Raider said, but then pushed it aside to thoughts of his family. "No, I'll be fine." Shining said. "I have to get home. I've been away too long already." He rushed off the stage and passed Guy. "Bye Might Guy! Come visit me in the Kingdom, Cadence would love to see you!" "Don't forget your training!" Guy called back. "That's Shining Armor for you. True as they come." He told the spectators next to him with pride.

ooc: I want Shining to head over to Twilight first, so it will happen some time inside the time skip, when we're ready for the skip, we'll have a quick scene with Twilight and Shining and then Shining will continue to Cadence and we'll do the skip.
Shining >>>> Twilight's library

OOC: Next time you post in Library we'll assume it has nothing to do with what Raider is planning to do at the library later but before the time skip (technically) You'll do your spheal first and then Raider will do his but chronologically speaking Raiders will happen first and then Shining and then we finish out the time skip. Waiting on the Leroy post from Raider and then we can continue here. Luckily, only might guy is really stuck here. Raider the character and Roleplayer is only being hindered from further roleplay by this singular thread though

Leroy walked up to Guy. "Sage Guy. May I please have a word?" Leroy said with his voice shaky. Raider ran out in tears at this point. He knew he had to get the dragon ball. But he wouldn't. Even if he fought his hardest Guy would drop him at a punch. He attempted to calm himself. Lie so he thought he stood a chance. But he couldn't, although he did calm down. Now was not the time to panic. He needed to find Pip. Pip, meanwhile, had fallen asleep on Seras' head while they looked at Bunnies, similar to a baby lamb's ultimate trust... except for a pirate bandanna. Seras continued to watch the critters while remaining motionless as a statue so Pip could sleep. She was curious how anyone could be so trusting, let alone with Raider as a mentor, but chucked it up to child innocence. Raider walked up to them. Seeing Pip asleep he was impressed. He whispered, "Ah... I see Pip is asleep. He must trust you. He is oddly picky about sleeping with other people or ponies. Even if he knows them." I want to thank you. You showed me empathy when few others... Actually. Only one other showed me that kind of empathy before besides Luna. My little sister. It reminded me of her, snapped me out of my daze. I would have became a shadow anomaly if not for you." He bowed low. "Thank you." "That makes sense for anyone. I don't sleep near anyone for that matter." Seras whispered back still not moving. "And don't mention it. I mostly did it to keep the other contestants and many of the spectators safe." "That's sad. I thought you were being nice. I used to like being flippantly nice for no reason. It made it easier to identify people. You live alone huh? From what I can tell you got no siblings, but you've lost loved ones. Its hard. I'm gonna lose the chance to bring Broly back. Guy is gonna kick my ass. I can't avoid it. I've gone over every scenario in my head. I'm not fast enough or strong enough. I'm not even making excuses. Its a fact. I'm putting my faith in my friend Leroy. That's about it." "That's not to say I didn't empathize with you. My primary concern is for the contestants and other staff but I know that look. The look of losing someone close. That's why I stayed after my warning. What you'll find more difficult then bringing Broly back... is letting him go. I'm sure you know this by now." "True. But if there is even a chance that anyone can do it, I'll put all my faith in Leroy. He can heal any blow. And can buff any strike... Well. Actually his armor will probably shatter. But denial is better then depression. If Leroy's Rooster's Crow magic is unusual enough to defeat the previous Paladin Sage then it's got to count for something. At least I won't have to arrange a funeral. The Night Elves loved Broly... He never explained why. I had to EARN the trust of the trolls through valor. But they don't obsess over me as much as the night elves do... "did" over Broly. I still can't believe he is dead. His body... faded." Seras smiled, "I'll be sure to go to the funeral. Your friend seemed like a great guy. You'll have to give me the details." "I know I'll have to get a shaman. Broly would want a shaman funeral. I know a Tauren. If not I know Pandarains who might help. I'll let you know. You got an enchiridon?" "Don't know what you're talking about but I have a cell phone." Seras said pulling a small phone out of her pocket, "I could give you my number." "Okay. Anyways, I find you interesting. Luna always said that my opinion on society en mass was from the perspective of a wounded guy. She said I needed to meet more people. Well I'm meeting you. That's a start." He gave his number to her. Seras entered the number into the Phone and gave him her number, "Luna? You're friends with the moon?" She asked as she gave her number on a piece of paper. "My finance. She says to make more friends. Oh, and just cause your a girl and I find you interesting doesn't mean anything but that. I assure you. I've been investigated for cheating enough as is. Anything to keep me from marrying the princess I guess. Freaking Royal Guard..." "Haha, I was going to say I'm out of your league but you're marrying the Princess of the Moon. I don't even think I can top that, hehe. Besides, I'd outlive you in a heartbeat." She said quietly with a smile. "Yes you would. Unless I obtain immortality through my magic...If I had magic." Raider sighed. "So was Pip well behaved?" "Yep, he climbed a tree, and chased a bunny, though he never caught it. He's an adorable little boy." Seras said looking to Pip on her head. "Yeah. He wants to protect the princess so I'm training him. I'm not training him hardcore obviously but he'll quite strong. Did he notice you were a vampire, out of curiosity?" "No, I told him I had contacts in which is why my eyes were red. I didn't know if You had educated him on the undead so I took the stand that you hadn't" "I figured. I'm worried he might develop a sixth sense. Paranoia of a master I guess. Meh. Anyways, I guess I'll see you around. To be honest I feel a little better. I can't help but feel everything is gonna turn out okay. Like, because Broly's death is so unbelievable that it will be fixed somehow... I'm going insane, yes, but its still a good feeling." "You're steadily getting on your way to coping with the change. Soon enough will come acceptance. I've got to get back to work so if you could take little Pip here." Raider took Pip. "Well see you around. I guess I'll see you at the funeral. Hopefully not. Go... Leroy." Seras nodded towards Raider and got up, slowly making her way back to camp alongside Raider. OOC: Raider and Seras will come back after the conversation with Might Guy and Leroy is finished. I do have to say this is the most normal conversation Raider's ever been a part of

"I... Need to ask you something. Do you have a wish in mind? I was wondering if you wouldn't mind wishing for Broly's resurrection? I can't fight. My mental state is too shattered. I witnessed my comrade die so DAMN casually. Raider is probably in shambles but... I've fought the supernatural to the point my grief is just shown differently. I can't fight. I just can't. It would be useless to try not to mention disrespectful to you." Leroy said.

Guy laughed out loud and slapped Leroy on the back again. "You guys should have paid closer attention to Shining's fights, you could have learn much from him. I have a wish in mind, I've been thinking very hard about it. But don't worry, I'll make the right wish and everything will turn out fine!" Guy said and gave Leroy the thumbs up.

"Thats incredibly big of you sir, thank you. I'll inform Raider....I just. Wow. They say things about you. I know you dont care but the Monks do gossip, albiet I admit to a bit of the things seeming true, such as your eccentricity. But I say you are more worthy to wear the title of sage then many whom would do more with it! I daresay the Monks could use your moral character at this time. Your second in command, the former Sage, is having a hard time keeping the respect of the rather factioning Monk sector. Poor guy. Heh. You know, we all learn via watching others fight. I kinda hope shining never learns Raider's lessons. I already can tell he is gonna come back completely broken down."

"That's why I joined the Guild." Guy said. "To teach show the people in it what it means to protect your dream, to see what it means to fight what you believe in. To teach you the things that ponies like Shining already know. Don't worry, if there is anything you guys have taught me is that you're all very tenacious, you'll pull through."

"Heh... Funny. I don't think I have a dream. No life goal. I'm just a paladin. Protect the meek, slay evil, heal things. That's it. I joined the guild just because I was bored. I used to work at a chicken farm. The farmer told me to seek more out of life. So I did. I trained, worked hard, drank from the Fountain of Light, and duh-duh-duh-duuuh. Paladin." Leroy sighed. "I've done too much. I'm too dang young to be this freaking bored. I'm not wishing misfortune or anything but I maybe need to think about retiring and settling down. I hear children are fun." Leroy laughed.

"Settling down and having kids isn't a bad life." Guy said. "But if you're bored now you're going to be bored then as well. Your boredom wont go away with that. As long as you're trying not to be bored, you're always going to be bored."

"Not now. Not yet. Im still a bit shaken up. But...I can't remain forever. Especially after what you said! Plus innocents need me. I think, and it may just be paranoia, dark forces from death have turned their eyes to Equestria. I can't explain it. Its like a...sixth sense for my sixth sense. Veteran's feeling." Joseph walked in. "Hey! Joseph! Guy says he is gonna wish Broly back! Somehow." Joseph stood completely still. "What?" Leroy nodded. "He says he has a wish that will make everything alright!" Raider smiled. "Thats great news! I gotta tell the Night Elves!" He ran off. "I better go make sure he gets in the ring at least. You'll probably down him in a punch and he knows it but he won't care. Hey, take care of Shining. Those lessons that Raider talked about... As a paladin I can tell you. You only learn them when you've been utterly defeated by a being that was so much beyond you that you never stood a chance. Those lessons aren't lessons at all. Its the feeling of losing a battle and thinking that it was all your fault. Its the feeling of Ultimate loss. I know the lore of equestria enough to safely say they have never experienced it on a mass scale, even with the wars. Thats a very good thing. It means justice and good intentions have been prevailent. This place, compared to Faerun and... anywhere, is a utopia. I'd rather deal with Changlings then Drow, demons, and..." a massive visible shutter coursed through Leroy. "RUST MONSTERS." He walked off. "Not to say it doesn't have its own problems. I hear that Queen Chrysalis was sighted in Ponyville!" With that call he ran off. "Nothing they can't handle!"

Juri was laying on the stage reading a manga out of boredom when Raider went to the tournement field and steeled himself. "Okay. Just... Do your best! Your gonna get flash knocked out anyway." He said to himself. She jumped up and kicked the book offstage before clearing her throat. "Ehem, If you're quite ready, could Might Guy please come on stage." She said pointing her hand over to where he was standing.

"OK, if we're all good now and nothing else interrupts the fights." She shot a glare at Raider who seemed to be the cause of every delay thus far. "Then let the match, BEGIN!" she said and took a large jump backwardsto get out of he way.

"Okay! In honor of your wish I'm going to pull all the stops to try to land one hit!" He went invisible and sung a slow but silent song... a song of death. His Savage Song, to activate his savage mode. He then made contact with Carl, his Shadow familiar, (Remember when we fought the shadow changling? He was summoned then too.) to prepare a one time distraction on his command. Now he silently moved leaving no sound or dust trail. He had to leave that spot... for just 1 second.

Raider took a vial of acid out of his pocket. He went savage. Carl had his command and awaited the right time as Raider instructed. He moved silent as the grave at Guy. Knowing that somehow he'd be heard. He twitched involentarily. He could only move slowly for so long.
