The Namekian announcer stepped forward onto the arena, incredibly excited to get this show on the road now that the tournament had reached the semi-finals. By this point, the crowd was just going ballistic in the stands. "Hello and welcome, everyone, to the semi-finals of the Trial of Peace! Here we have our top four battling it out to be one of our top two— though the question remains, who will be our ultimate winner?!" Once the crowd had settled down— which took wayyyyy longer than before— he would have reached into his pocket and pulled out a card with the names of this bout's fighters by now, but at this point it was hardly necessary.
"Our first contestant is one you know well by now— the bright, blazing and absolutely mighty Zhalla!" The crowd erupted into cheering, the amount of people that had signs with Zhalla's name and face on them had increased tenfold from last time! "Our second contestant is yet another tenacious fireball— all the way from Earth, we have its Guardian; Jackie!" By this point, quite a lot of Earthlings were present in the stands in comparison to before; they cheered Jackie on, and even some of the younger ones in the stands now held onto orange glowing orbs, an equivalent to glow-sticks more or less.
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 semifinal round of the Trial of Peace begins! This fight will end and be judged on Monday, May 1st if a winner has not yet been decided by either ring-out or knockout by then!
