A handsome man of twenty four years stood outside a red brick abbey. He possessed a bolt gun attached to a metal prosthesis and carried something massive, thick, heavy and far too rough to be called a sword. After he saw Zodd fly off, the Dragon Slayer hailed Dai Ginga from below, hefting his mighty weapon with him up a stairwell leading to a dais. Then, he took a knee and bowed his head in a show of respect to Dai. "You must be the dragon I have heard about," the young adult man said gravely. "I am going to mess you up a bit." Suddenly, he rised and charged his prey, saying, "En guarde!" The wolf like armor he wore closed over his head and face in the form of a gaping maw full of sharp teeth. He went for a forward tackle.

"Coming from a guy five years older than you, you have a pretty mouth!" Dai felt Gattsu's big armored head hit his mythrill shirt and immediately went for a right head lock. Then, he came down with a sharp left elbow to the back of the dragon slayer's neck. As a reflex, he sprawled, sliding backward across the dais from the force of Gattsu's push.
Guts popped his head out, aiming a left punch at Dai's cheek using a metal fist.
Dai caught the punch with his right hand, which hurt. Then, he squeezed with all his might, attempting to crush the berserker's Pringle can for an arm into scrap metal. He threw a left high kick with his steel toe work shoe at the feral human's right eye, attempting to strike it in its weak spot and knock it out.
Guts parried Dai's high kick with the outside edge of his sword then went for a cross slash at the dragon's neck.
Dai leaped back with inhuman speed, tilting his head back so that the sword missed his throat by scant inches.
Dai put up a sign on the doors to the castle which read, "A battle tournament commences. Crater residents, please see a bracket posted on a wall inside the castle so you can see who you are doing battle with."

Van Slanzar de Fanel, a prize fighter and a sword for hire, pulled a name out of a hat and took a good look at the name of who he happened to be slated to fight in the pig tails, or the elimination stage, of his very own battle tournament he wanted to host, someone older than him, someone he looked up to, someone he really wanted to fight but never got to and hoped to get a chance to now, unless the guy backed out or threw the fight, Vahn Fah.
He reminded him of himself.
Van donned his armor and walked into the killing fields, where the swords and picked over corpses of heroes long dead lay to rest in cold, frost covered soil. Having donned his shoulder, arm, hand and leg armor as well as cross belts and steel toe work shoes, he came to this battle armed with a great sword, seven feet long to be exact. Possessed of spiky, jet black hair and hooded eyelids, he looked the part of a walking hyena man, not very tall but not too short, with a fish hooked mouth and a scarred countenance. He weighed in at one hundred forty six pounds. Surrounding himself with the swords of crestfallen warriors stabbed into the ground, he merely stood there as snow fell and said, "You!" He laughed like a hyena, then barked like a dog, "You will fight me!"

Lord Van of the Kingdom of Fanelia fought the Dragon Slayer purely for sport as he waited for the friends he invited to his battle tournament to show up for their matches. This Sir Slanzar de Fanel of Gaia, resplendent in tarnished porcelain armor with white spikes of bone sticking out all over it, charged at his newfound enemy and attempted a double leg take down before transitioning into a barrel roll, propelled forward by the ferocity of his dash.
Covered in his wolfish armor, the Dragon Slayer merely lifted his, or its, right foot, stepping on Van's porcelain shell where forearm met left elbow, an area which possessed a break in the bony chitin, and vaulted over the rolling man, performing a vertical downward slice on his armor as he passed over him then spun to his right to face him. "Weakling. I will squash you like a bug."
Experiencing a break in his carapace, Van crawled out of his shell, coming to a stop against one of the swords stuck in the ground in the otherwise empty Killing Fields. Using telekinesis, he took hold of the upright swords in the earth around him, making them levitate and spin in a circle in the air above him.*
*Sword Dance (1)
Guts thrust his left arm forward and stuck his massive sword into the earth, aiming his bolt gun at Van. Then, using his right hand, he started spinning a lever on the inside of the arm the bolt gun attached to, firing a salvo of bolts at Van aimed all over his body.
Finding himself able to even while focusing on his Sword Dance, Van stopped all of the bolts with his mind, turning them around and using psychokinesis to propel them at the armored Dragon Slayer.
Having his armor riddled with his own bolts proved to be an annoyance to Guts, who dodged and weaved in an attempt to avoid some of them. Others stuck fast in his armor, unable to pierce it. Running through the Killing Fields, he picked up his sword and slashed at Van diagonally from Van's left to right.
Picking up a sturdy sword near him, Van used the blade to block Gattsu's slash from the inside. Suddenly, all of the swords dancing above the Dragon Slayer came down on Guts at once.*

Resplendent in a silver colored mythrill shirt and full arm and leg armor, Kid waited for Pru outside the fortress, having given her directions to the place hoping she would show.

A young man with parted blond hair and brown eyes stood outside the fortress waiting for competitors to his battle tournament to show. He wore a navy blue muscle shirt which flattered his rugged physique and brown work shoes. "Hm, Sunblade Kazamaru. I never fought this guy before. This should be interesting."
