Hades Cup - Awards Ceremony

[styx_and_stones]

[Video / Underdrome Action]

The clash of battle, the excitement of watching such accomplished fighters attempt to annihilate each other on the field of combat, granted there could have been a little more bloodshed, maybe a death or two, but overall it was a thrilling competition wasn’t it?

I suppose you all are curious, who was the better fighter?

[ Hades stands in the center of the now nearly destroyed floor of the Underdrome in order to make his announcement. The fighters from the tournament had all been asked to attend in order to claim their prizes… or consolation prizes as the case would be for many of the fighters. These brave or foolhardy people stood in the center of the coliseum where the audience in the stands could get a good look at them and cheer for their favorites. ]

Who was the most impressive? Who had the best tactics? Who was it who outsmarted all of you shlemiel’s and came away with the grand prize?

[ Hades reaches over to pick up the ‘grand prize’ the dark black Hades Cup trophy. He holds the object in the air as the audience roars their cheers. ]

The winner of the Hades Cup tournament is…

[….
….
Drumroll…

….
….
….]



ME!



[With a laugh Hades drops the Hades Cup trophy back onto its stand. ]

Ahha! You losers! Did you actually think any of you idiots could beat me in my own Underworld? Come on, did you, really?



[A large big screen behind Hades flashes to life showing off a very smug looking Icy sitting on Queen Minnie’s throne in what can only be Disney Castle. ]


While you were all busy playing around Hades and I were busy taking over your pathetic little castle. That’s right losers Disney Castle now belongs to me!

Maybe now we can get rid of some of this pointless cutesy nonsense and finally put these moogles to work doing something worthwhile!

Any one left on this world is welcome to stay but you have to work for me. I could always use a few good slaves. As for the rest of you losers don’t even bother trying to fight back. You will never get past my heartless or my army of decay!




[OOC - Notes

There you go, the entire Hades Cup was just a trap to get all of you hero-types busy paying attention to something else so that Icy would have time to take over Disney Castle. So, what can you do with this?

Some suggestions:
Fight your way out of the Underworld.
Grab a gummi ship and try to pilot your way through the heartless army to reach Disney Castle.
Confront Hades.
Face off against Icy’s Army of Decay but be warned that every monster destroyed will form two more of the same monster.
If your character was on Disney Castle when Icy attacked you could work as a slave or attempt to escape before being captured by her.
Rescue the kidnapped Kairi who was captured because she was a key blade wielder who was not going to pay attention to the Hades Cup.

OR come up with something on your own. Plotty things are always welcome! ]

[Well, now that they knew the reason behind the whole competition, he couldn't just do nothing about it. He glares and holds his weapon out in front of him.]

What are you going to do now that you've conquered Disney Castle?

[Action]

[styx_and_stones]

I think a toast is in order, what do you think, Icy would care for a bit of ambrosia to celebrate our victory? Then maybe I can convince her to smash up that cornerstone of light... get rid of some of this, ugh, goodness...

[Action]

[blitz_acing]

And after your little celebration? Then what?

[Action]

[styx_and_stones]

Then we can take over another world or even, MOUNT OLYMPUS ITSELF! OH YEAH!

We can't be stopped!!

[wantstobeasinger]

[Sorry, but Musa really can't help but laugh.]

The Army of Decay. Really?

video;

[styx_and_stones]

Keep laughing cupcake, I know I will be laughing when this advanced army rips you limb from limb...

[Don't underestimate the Army of Decay Musa, with Hades backing Icy up this army is even more powerful than the WinX season 1 version. Hades knows ALL about decay! ]

[wantstobeasinger]

If it can catch me, then we'll see.

[Good thing she can fly fast and basically teleport.]

[styx_and_stones]

Or you could always surrender. I know Icy would just love to have a fairy for a minion.

[Cheater. :P]

[mountain_sage]

[Saleh jumps from his seat as the screen with Icy flashes.]

Great Dragon, no...

[They had fallen right into Hades' plot. He had known that they would suspect him, and used that against them. Saleh was mentally cursing himself for failing to see it.]

[But there was no time for regret. There wasn't even any point in confronting Hades. The main priority now is to reclaim Disney Castle. But to rush in alone would be suicide. So for now, he'd make his way back to Traverse Town and then come up with a plan from there.]

[So calmly, quietly, Saleh begins his attempt to leave the area.]

[Action]

[styx_and_stones]

[Hades smirks and calls after the retreating hero. ]

Just going to leave? I'm disappointed! Where is the typical hero 'you will never get away with this' speech?

[Action]

[mountain_sage]

Words are wasted on you. The competition is over, so there's no reason for me to linger here.

[Action]

[styx_and_stones]

But wouldn't it be more fun to stay for a while, kick back, fight for your pathetically short life for a bit?

[Hades is less than inclined to allow a hero-type who hadn't been worn down from fighting in his tournament to just walk out of here. Instead a few dozen heartless will be drifting through the walls to block Saleh's escape. Ghost heartless who always seem to have really long arms and deadly sharp claws. ]

[darkerearth]

Hades! I knew you were up to something!

[ video ]

[styx_and_stones]

And yet you fell for the trap anyway.

[Hades smirks. ]

Maybe you should turn in that 'hero-card' of yours, you aren't doing anyone much good.

[Video]

[offreewill]

Perhaps they will now have learned to be more careful, next time. Are you sure this is what you want to do?

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

I hope they learn to walk directly into traps more often, it makes it easier for me.

[That question is a curious one though. ]

Why wouldn't it be? I mean the months of planning, the clandestine meetings, I wouldn't put all that to waste now!

[Video]

[offreewill]

It depends on whether they'll learn from this or not. Either way, I'd like to see how it ends.

[Smiling calmly, he bows his head and shuts his eyes.]

Regardless of your decision, it's all going to amount to waste soon. I'm afraid I have to stop you.

[Video]

[styx_and_stones]

[Oh you are funny!]

You are going to stop me? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?

[gunnerbrat]

[ He's in the Underworld, but is using the video anyway.]

It was an entertaining diversion.

[ He should be worried, but he's impressed with all that evil planning and the violence of the competition.]

[styx_and_stones]

Oh hey, a fan of my work! Glad you enjoyed it kid, it only gets better from here on out!

Re: video

[gunnerbrat]

None of the Captain's schemes ever worked out so well.

video

[styx_and_stones]

Captain Hook you mean? Yeah, met the guy once, a bit of a freak if you ask me. He kept thinking the clock was a crocodile coming to get him...

[The Disney version of Hook is a strange weird person. ]

[mynameisallen]

[Yeah, no words from Allen as instead he's just going to go for you Hades, sword in his only one hand he has, his cowl helping him to move around a little better.]</small.

[styx_and_stones]

[Hades floats backward to avoid Allen's charge in that annoying way he does in every Kingdom Hearts game.]

Hey, a sore loser! What you wanted that old trophy this badly?

action;

[mynameisallen]

Actually, I couldn't care less. I got what I wanted out of the match. [Getting further than Kanda was pretty much it.] No, I'm doing what I should have been doing from the very beginning.
