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 second round of the Trial of Peace! Now we have our top eight, so the question remains who will become our top two!?" Once the crowd had settled down— which took a fair bit longer than usual— he reached into his pocket and pulled out a card with the names of this bout's fighters.
"Our first contestant this round is the one with strong heart aflame like our three suns, none other than Zhalla!" The crowd excitedly cheered for the Saiyan, some had even brought out signs with her powerful visage or her name on them. "In this match, she shall be fighting—" There was a pause, the announcer squinted at the card. "Saliva..? Huh? That isn't right. Someone scribbled on this card when I wasn't looking..." He quietly whispered to himself before immediately giving his attention back to the crowd. "— the dreaded pirate Salvo who makes a return to the arena!" The crowd was once again hesitant to cheer, but some did so either way, trying to be impartial for sake of the spectacle.
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 second round of the Trial of Peace begins! This fight will end and be judged on Monday, April 10th if a winner has not yet been decided by either ring-out or knockout by then!
