HoH Blimp
The very same blimp that had been travelling all over Gaia, advertising the tournament, transforms into the semi-finals stage.
Terrain
General - Reduced balance due to occasional air turbulence, limited platform increases risk of fatal ring out, other teams watching from sidelines.
Weapons - None
Natural Element Resource - Air
Warnings - Intentionally throwing an opponent off the platform results in instant DQ
ARE YOU READY?
TMJ says: You's boned.

Yes, the hull of the ship was metalic, as all proper hulls are; however, considering that this was a flying fortress as well as a first-class cruise ship, it was built to withstand anything.
ANYTHING.
Magnetism is the result of an electromagnetic field, which is given off by, as you might guess, electrical charges in the molecular structure of an object. Particularly, the placement of electrons. However, the brilliant little ******** at CI had designed the interior AND exterior of the ship to be electrically sealed. This means that whenever an electrical charge is introduced to the material composing the hull of the ship, it is grounded (by means of path of least resistance) to a capacitor in the bowels of the ship, where the charge is simply stored for use later as a part of the ship defenses.
Because the hull is connected to this particular type of capacitor, however, charge is also allowed to escape at a slow rate; meaning, if there is any magnetic difference between parts of the hull, it will be equalized. Of course, this action can also be automated, instilling the ship itself with a magnetic charge; a useful tool in diverting lightning bolts when flying through storms.
And, for the record, security was not so lax as to allow just anyone onto the ship. Only guests were allowed, and the guests included only the staff and the teams. Akira would have been ejected by force from the ship as soon as he set foot onto it. Thusly, he had obviously not entered by means of the door, and all other entrances were as good as marked with "trespassers will be shot" signs.
The more you know.

However, CI security is the best there is...
The cameras were positioned at the ends of hallways, meaning that the only 'safe spot' to hide from it would be directly underneath the camera. A place that wouldn't really allow a sneaky ninja to get very far, considering that the camera was always looking down any hallway leading away from its position, which meant that at any given time all cameras on the ship were recording any visible movement that takes place on the ship. The cameras were spaced appropriately; one to every end of a hallway, looking in each direction. At a T intersection, there would be three cameras. Additionally, cameras were placed every fifty feet along a hallway, inside of a one-way tinted glass dome. As such, these cameras covered the blind spots beneath the other cameras.
99% of the communal interior of the ship was under constant survailence.
For obvious reasons, cameras were not placed in the guest rooms, changing rooms, or bathrooms.
To avoid the all-too common stereotype of the lazy security guard not watching the cameras, all camera feeds went directly to a central AI for the security system, where the feeds were monitored for motion, and images were cross-referenced to a guest/staff listing in the central computer, that was indexed by the cameras the moment that the guests stepped aboard. Any cameras with motion would be displayed for a team of three operators, who monitored for suspicious activity; any cameras displaying someone not on the guest list would be boxed in red on the screen, to draw immediate attention.
The moment that any of these cameras malfunctioned, a maintinence call would go in for a crew member to go check it out. If this crew member did not check in after leaving a monitored area, a security team would be sent out. If any suspicious activity was reported, there would be an active sweep by security to check every room, closet, and beneath every bed. Even the outside hull of the ship would be checked.
To alert security in any way was to be found.
To be found was to be cornered and shot.
That is the end-all of the 'no tolorance' policy that CI was exercising upon this ship today.
Chris Wrote:Chris would pull Akira down corridor after corridor until they eventually got to a window. Guess what happened then? Smash, and through they went, instantly seeming as if they were flying sideways out the blimp. "Dude, can you fly?" Is what Chris would shout to Akira.
Provided that Chris made it this far without security pistol-whipping him, he would find his path blocked by a 2" thick steel shutter slid down across the end of the hallway that he was currently in. Another would slide down immediately behind him. All doors in that hallway would electronically lock, despite the best efforts of those in the rooms.
Thirty seconds, and then a team of eight armed guards would enter from the far end of the hallway as the blast door slid upwards.
Resistance is futile.
