The Namekian announcer stepped forward onto the arena, waving gladly at the excited crowd as they cheered in excitement for the coming battle. "Welcome everyone, to the first official round of the Trial of Peace! Our previous rounds have been an excellent showcase of the quality of fighters here on Namek," he declared, "And I am sure our next match will be no different." Once the crowd had settled down, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a card with the names of this bout's fighters.
"Our first fighter this round is a new face to Namek! Though his skin may be orange, he is not yellow in the belly! In fact, he is a Shinjin from another realm! Let us welcome Cyprus to Namek, everybody!" The audience clapped and cheered for this strange new fighter, many curious to see what he could do. "And his opponent is another new face, it would seem! An Arcosian with ties to the Empire, it would seem he is representing his planet in our tournament today! Let us hope he can do them proud. Everybody please welcome Verst!" Verst was welcomed with a passionate applause and many cheers from the crowd, who were excited to watch these unfamiliar fighters duke it out.
The announcer then took a step back, and addressed the two fighters directly before clearing the arena. "Okay, you two! The winner of this fight will be decided by either knockout or ring-out. If the match has not naturally concluded by the time limit, then our panel of judges will independently determine a winner. The only other rule is that no form of flight may be used in the bout. If I am understood, then... Let the battle begin!"
The first round of the Trial of Peace begins! This fight will end and be judged on Monday, March 27th if a winner has not yet been decided by either ring-out or knockout by then!
