Description
*After making it to the desert island Horumusuka, Oliver, Eddie, and Martha met up with two fighters known as Emma and Hailey, who were trained in the Tremor Style, and the Nature style as they could transform into both an Elephant, and a Hippo. And to put the trio to the test, Oliver and Eddie had to fight them, and now it was Martha's turn to challenge Hailey, as the two squared off on the sands of the beach. Martha in her slime form.*

Hailey: Alright little slime girl, I wanna see what you're made of, besides a few trips to the buffet.

Martha: Oh, I'm more than just a soft, big girl.

Oliver: You're not exactly one to talk, Hailey.

Hailey: Hey, I'm not gonna lie, I love me some sugar...But I burn it off quickly when I work out with Emma here.

Oliver: Coulda fooled me.
Eddie; Alright, can you guys just box already?

Hailey: If that's what you want, little man...

Eddie: Yeah. That’s why we’re here.
*Martha kicks things off with a stretchy slingshot, lunging herself towards Hailey as she too charges forward. Hailey tanks a couple of punches to the chest and face as Martha coils around her like a constricting snake. As she squeezed, Hailey could feel herself being crushed under Martha's grip, even though she was pretty sturdy herself.*

Hailey: Urk...! *Grunt* you starting off strong eh...? Good...
*Suddenly, Hailey brute forces her way out of Martha grip as she flexes her arms and legs and shoves her away. Following up with a sand assisted roundhouse kick to the stomach. However, Martha used that, as Hailey's foot was stuck in Martha's stomach, as she then grabbed Hailey and slammed her into the sand, before jumping up and clasping her hands together, making them as large as her before smashing them down on top of Hailey. Martha then rushes back in with some massive arms to grapple onto Hailey, and succeeds in doing so...But Hailey uses this to make her fall into her trap. Using Tremor style, she quakes the ground to daze Martha, then pivots her body to act as a weight. Reeling her into her rump and finishing off with a crater into the sands.*

Hailey: Sorry, I tend to squash the competition.

Oliver: You think Martha can't do the same?
*Martha then melts down into a puddle of slime, which submerges Hailey before she gets grabbed and piledrived into the sand so Martha could return the favour.*

Martha: You quit being an a*s and fight me already!

Hailey: Oh I am fighting. You're the one who's holding back girl.

Oliver: Says the one looking for a new a*s tattoo.
*Hailey then bull rushes Martha into some sandstone pillars she'd summoned up and crushes her with a hip check. The same pillar collapsed and fell on top of her.*

Martha: Nnngh...Gah...

Eddie: Is your bird always so...honest, about using her a*s, Emma?

Emma: *blushes* Eh...Heh, yeah. Not that I'm complaining. *Giggle*

Hailey: What can I say? I never skip leg day.
*Suddenly, Martha grunts and gets back up. Chunks of the stone pillar stuck in her fists.*

Martha: Hmm...I can work with this.
*Martha then heaves a heavy left hook to Hailey's side. Knocking her to the ground. The chunks of sandstone in Martha's fists were making her attacks stronger against Hailey as she was struggling to block all the hits.*

Hailey: Ugh...Damn girl, You don't mess around...I like it.

Martha: Of course you do...
Oliver: You done talking all that sh*t now, "Queen?"

Hailey: The one who's talking sh*t is the guy thirsty for some fat a*s. Isn't that right Ol'?

Emma: Oh, I thought I was the only one who knew.
*Hailey then uses her Tremor abilities once again. Quaking the ground to mess with Martha's footing. Stomping around like a sumo wrestler before sending a wave of sand in her direction. Burying the slime girl in an instant.*

Oliver: ! Martha!
Martha: *muffled* Mmmmph...Mmmrrrph...!

Hailey: Ah...She's strong...Just not strong enough.

Emma: Guess that means the Queen wins.

Hailey: You know it. But hey, no hard feelings for your girlfriend Oliver.

Oliver: Yeah, sure.
*Oliver walks over and helps Martha escape the sand mound.*

Martha: Nnnngh...*Cough cough* man...That sucked...

Hailey: I like that fire you got Martha...But you still got a long way to go if you wanna take someone down from my weight class.

Martha: Apparently...

Hailey: I suggest working out them arms and legs of yours. I feel like you can really deal some damage if they have more weight behind them.

Oliver: Oh, she can...not that you'll believe it.

Hailey: I believe she has the potential to wreck people's sh*t...But as of now...She's just a gimmick at this point.

Martha: Hmm...Some training would be nice.

Oliver: And you crushing people with your and your girlfriend's a*ses isn't?

Emma: Hey, it's viable.
Hailey: And you didn't seem to mind anyway.

Martha: Just recently he mentioned he was "that" kind of guy.

Emma: I knew it!

Oliver: Whatever. Can you take us to this trial site? Or are you gonna be talking about your a*ses all day?

Hailey: Hey, you're the thirsty one who brought it up. So who's REALLY gonna be talking about it all day?

Martha: I mean...She's not wrong there.
*Oliver blushes as he bites his tongue. Eddie taking the p*ss out of him from being too cocky.*

Emma: Alright, let's get moving while the sun is going down. The nights here are freezing.
*The five make their way over to the trial site so Oliver, Eddie and Martha can learn the Tremor Style.*

Martha: Hmm...I guess I could try to get a body like hers. But...I got a lot of work to do.
*After a bit of a walk, the group arrived at the trial site. Acting as their mentors, Emma and Hailey lead the exercise. To learn and pass the test, the trio would have to affect the ground with so much force that it would move the tectonic plates beneath the ocean around the island in order to pass.*

Hailey: Alright. Now...Let's show you how it's done...Emma, you wanna kick things off?

Emma: Sure! Pay attention everyone, because this is gonna get crazy real quick. You need to be super careful, otherwise you could fracture the planet to oblivion if done incorrectly. Now...Pay attention everyone, because this might look a bit complicated...Oh, and you guys might wanna hold onto something.
*Emma focuses her energy, and after performing an attack on the ground, a moment passed, before a distant rumble shook the trial site. Suddenly, several huge splashes of water appear from around the island. The tectonic plates around Horumusuka had shifted.*

Martha: WHOA-OH-OH!!

Hailey: Relax. You act like you've never been in an artificial earthquake before.

Oliver: We HAVEN'T.
Emma: Well, it shouldn't be anything too disastrous.

Oliver: So, we just gotta do that huh? ...What about you, Hippo? You wanna give this a shot? Or are you too regal for that?

Hailey: Ha, don't sass me kid. Because that's my job.

Oliver: That doesn't answer my question.
*Hailey takes a deep breath as she does the same thing. With a bit of swing to her step, she then stomps the ground. Suddenly the same effect occurs, but with more energy behind it.*

*...Almost a little too much. The plates cause the giant splashes around the island, when suddenly, the trial site breaks apart and a large quake starts forming across it.*

Oliver: F*ck! Move!
*The group are forced to bolt as the quakes were quickly breaking down the trial site, forming a pit beneath it. The group kept moving to avoid being swallowed, only for the quakes to start affecting in front of them as well, and the ground was too erratic to grab onto something, so the team wound up falling into the pit.*

Hailey: Eh...Umm...Guess that was a little too much power...

Oliver: Ugh...No kidding...
Eddie: Huh. Never wondered what happened if we failed one of these.

Oliver: Nnnngh...Martha? You okay...?

Martha: Oh, things are just peachy, nearly causing a supermassive quake. Ugh...Fortunately for me, I didn't really feel a thing.

Oliver: Fair enough...guess that explains why me and Ed aren't mangled right now...
*Oliver gets up, but not before having something to say to Hailey.*

Oliver: Just what the f*ck do you think that sh*t was?!

Hailey: Hey, I did it the same way Emma did. Something else must have made it a bit more stronger.

Oliver: Really? Or it's the fact you're not as perfect as you think you are?!

Eddie: Whoa, Ol' chill out.

Oliver: No! F*ck that! We all almost just died because princess perfect over here thought she could manage this! How are YOU a mentor for this martial art?!

Hailey: I didn't say I was perfect. Watch your tone there Ol'.

Emma: Well, something has to have caused that.

Oliver: Yeah, she's big, purple, and stood right next to you. Y'know, I was hoping to go against you all out in the tournament, but for nearly killing us, I'll do it right f*cking NOW.
*Oliver's energy was spiking as he dropped his bag and was approaching Hailey with no intention of backing down. That was until Eddie got in his way.*

Eddie: C'mon Ol', she didn't know that was gonna happen.
*Eddie turns to Hailey.*

Eddie: I mean, causing a tremor and throwing us into a pit was a doozy, but it doesn't mean she intended to do that.

Oliver: Get out of my way.

Hailey: Yeah, I didn't know that was gonna happen. So stop harassing me in trying to kill us like that.

Oliver: ...Hmph. Whatever. What makes you so great in fighting anyway? Crushing people half to death isn't fighting. It's you LITERALLY throwing your weight around! Even Emma can tell you that one!
*Oliver grabs his bag and heads off in the crevasse the group found themselves in.*

Eddie: Mate, where the hell are you going?

Oliver: To find a way out of this mess.

Emma: ...H-Hailey?
Hailey: I'm alright...Not so sure about him though...

Martha: He...Oliver has some issues, so best to leave him alone.

Eddie: It's more shock than anything. He'll be alright. But we'd better follow him.
*The four follow in Oliver's direction. The crevasse looked more of the same, jagged rock walls with the light from the surface shining distantly.*

Martha: I don't think I can stretch my arm up there. It'd be too high of a reach.

Eddie: And even my smoke drop can't get us out of this one. And I'm not sure Oliver's spring powers could either. At least not yet anyway.

Hailey: Hmm...The only way I see is that we need to keep climbing up.

Eddie: But there's no proper way to grab the walls. And I get the feeling using Tremor style here will...*shudder*

Oliver: Close this crevasse back up with whatever's in it? Yeah, it probably will. This thing goes on for miles.

Emma: That'd be a stupid idea to do that again down here...*Sigh* we just need to push on.

Oliver: Gee, ya think?
*The five keep pressing on to try and find an escape from the crevasse. As the group kept going, Martha kept getting strange feelings that ran through her body at random times. Almost like vibrations.*

Martha: Nnngh...Any of you feeling dizzy? I don't feel like I'm walking on solid ground.

Oliver: No? We're all good. Why? What do you feel?

Martha: I feel...Reverberations or something like that...You know like a seismograph? I can feel some...Strange vibrations.

Hailey: Maybe because you're still shaken in your jelly form.

Emma: No no...She's right...I feel them too. My Elephant Spirit can also feel the tremors in the ground.
*Soon, strange noises start filling the crevice. The five prepare themselves for a fight.*

Emma: I don't like the sound of that.
Hailey: Neither do I...

Martha: Still, I think it's something we can deal with. C'mon, but tread lightly...This still doesn't feel like solid ground.

Oliver: Wait…this energy…it’s Nen. That means there are some kind of monsters down here…

Eddie: Like at ShoSho beach?

Oliver: Yeah.
Martha: Oh god...Not that stuff again.

Hailey: Oh sh*t...Alright, no funny stuff here. We all have to be on our toes. The last thing we want is to get poisoned down here.

Oliver: Yeah, we know that one all too well…
*As the five stood guard for what was to come. And soon enough, monsters from the chasm started to appear, in the form of a giant, vicious earthworm, a golem with sand and cacti sprouting from its body, and small floating pyramids with strange arms, legs, and a large eye on them.*

Emma: Eww...Those things don't look like they've seen themselves in the mirror.

Oliver: Most of these Nen monsters haven't. Alright...Let's clean house and get out of this mess...

Martha: Right behind you Oliver.
*Martha readies her huge slime fists for battle, Hailey and Emma stand side by side like a tag team, and Oliver leads the group into the fray. Oliver uses the chasm walls to lure the earthworm into chasing him, and once it was past her, Martha wrapped her arms around it to keep it still as it hissed and writhed in her grip. He then bounces off the Chasm wall and fires a spring loaded punch into the worm's face, sending it tumbling through the sand.*

Martha: Good teamwork Oliver.

Emma: Remember not to let these things bite you! That Nen junk is nothing to joke about.

Eddie: We know! We've been poisoned by it before!
*Eddie dashes out of the way of a slam by the golem before firing a smoke grenade into the creature's face. Once it explodes, the golem stumbles around, struggling to see as Emma and Hailey jump in. Hailey dashes for the legs while Emma leaps up to topple the golem with a hefty kick to its face. Hailey channels her power and does a deviating 1-2 combo. Completely obliterating the legs to the Golem as it falls.*

Hailey: Sit down big guy!
*As it fell, it fired off a sandstorm from its mouth, before slamming the ground with its fists, sending the two skidding backwards.*

Emma: Nnnngh...

Hailey: Damn...Had to go out with a bang huh, big fella?
*Recovering from the attack, Hailey and Emma both split up to assist the group with whatever they're fighting. Martha was slamming the earthworm left to right against the chasm walls, as Oliver and Eddie were dodging psychic blasts from the pyramid monster as they tried to make their way up to it.*

Martha: You want some more?! C'mon, I can keep going all day!
*Martha then ends off by heaving the worm creature towards the pyramid monster. Knocking it down for Oliver and Eddie to get some attacks in. Eddie performs his orbital smoke drop as Oliver lays in with the spring fibre attack, and a spring loaded barrage of punches.*

Emma: That's it boys! Keep up that vigour against these creeps.

Eddie: That's the plan!
*Eddie smoke dashes through the pyramid to avoid being blasted by its eye, as Oliver weaves to its side, and the two continue attacking. Martha had just about wrangled the earthworm monster.*

Martha: *grunt* Hurry up guys! I can't hold onto this thing for an eternity now!

Hailey: Be strong Martha! The fellas are a bit busy now.
*The earthworm slaps Martha with its tail before bouncing up and hissing as it drops back down to bite her. Deciding to take matters into her own slimy hands, she lets the earthworm get in close, before her body erupts in sharp slime spikes all around, impaling the earthworm, causing it to let out a dying hiss as it fell to the ground and faded into dust as Martha's slime returned to normal.*

Martha: *deep breath* Good god...Glad that thing's dealt with.
*With a yell and burst of Chi from the boys, they shattered the pyramid Nen monster to bits, and Emma and Hailey just finished up wrangling the stone golem.*

Hailey: Grr...Emma! I need you to shatter this guy!

Emma: On my way, just hold him down!
*Hailey was seen using her sand abilities to forge sandstone to bind the Golem into the ground. Emma takes a running start before jumping up and smashing her trunk into the golem's head, smashing it to pieces before it turns to dust.*

Emma: Alright...That's the golem done and dusted.
*Suddenly, the chasm was being flooded with sand, and in moments, the group found themselves back on the trial site with minimal injuries.*

Martha: Umm...Alright.
Emma: That didn't happen when we did our trial.

Poseidon: Phew! Are you guys okay?
Martha: We're alright...Just shaken up from that whole ordeal.

Hailey: Ah, Poseidon. Thanks for the help out of there.

Poseidon: No problem! I sensed the Nen and went to fill up the chasm. But it sure was a surprise to see you guys pop up!

Emma: Well, we all took care of the creeps down there infected with that junk.

Poseidon: That is great news.
Oliver: But we still need to pass this trial...

Hailey: Yeah. We're trying to teach them on how to perform the Tremor Style, and...Well, the fractured earth was evidence that we had a bit of a detour.

Poseidon: I see! Well, I'm sure you'll both handle it well. After all, screwing up from time to time is how you learn. I've got a few more repairs to do so just be careful this time, yeah?
*Poseidon sinks down into the sand as Hailey and Emma get back to work teaching Oliver and Eddie the Tremor Style.*

Emma: Okay...Attempt #2.

Hailey: Right...Now...To try this again.
*Oliver quietly steps forward and focuses. His chi changes from purple to a murky orange as he focuses. He can hear and feel the deep, underground noises of the earth. He then shifts his focus to the tectonic plates around the island before slamming his hands onto the ground. One by one, each plate rumbles and shifts, causing a giant splash from each one.*

Emma: That was like a textbook example. Perfect form Oliver.

Oliver: ...Yeah.
*Up next was Eddie. He too took a moment to focus, as his chi changed colour to compensate for the changing of martial art. He too then attacks the ground, and the kinetic energy reacting to the tectonic plates, causing each one to splash.*

Hailey: Not bad there Ed. I really felt the power from that one.

Emma: Alright, all that's left is Martha.
*Martha moves up to attempt the Tremor Style, and as she focuses, her arms and legs start to crystallize as she is getting ready to trigger the tectonic plates.*

Emma: Whoa...I didn't know she could do that.

Martha: Shh...I'm trying to focus...
*And with an overhead smash, the crystals break from Martha's body as she creates a crystal barrier around herself, along with shaking the tectonic plates around the island.*

Hailey: Holy crap...I don't think I've seen that before...

Emma: And she passed the trial too.

Eddie: Heh, we all did. But it looks like we used up the day though. ...Hey, you two know where we can get a bite to eat? I'm f*ckin' starving.

Hailey: Yeah, I think we can pick out a place. C'mon, I know the feeling after a profitable training day. You get real hungry.

Eddie: Cheers.
*After finding and sitting down at a place to eat, the trio check into a hotel and call it a night. …However, Oliver couldn’t sleep. Quietly, he gets out of bed and takes a walk along the beach. After a while, he started to head back when some distant music coming from the trial site got his attention. Making his way over, he saw Emma and Hailey training.*

Emma: Hmm...Maybe with a shift, pivot, and then a Tremor Style kick?

Hailey: Interesting...But is that what the music is telling you to do? For me...It's more of a step, step, twist, and then shove to a Tremor style punch.
*Hailey seems to be training Emma in the form of Dance fighting with some music against a dummy. The two acted like a sweet couple as they practiced.*

Emma: *blushes* Hee hee hee...I guess I can give it a try. Maybe I can spar with Poseidon with these techniques.

Hailey: That's the spirit Emma.
Oliver: H-Hailey? Emma?

Emma: Hmm? Oh, Oliver.

Hailey: What brings you here, huh...? Did you come to harass me on how I train with my girlfriend?
*Hailey still looked a bit peeved at Oliver after the incident earlier that day.*

Emma: Hey, don't need to be mad about it. It's behind us now.

Oliver: No. I came to apologize. I'm...sorry for what I said. I was out of line, and overreacted.

Hailey: Yeah it was. Now why the hell did you even think about me trying to kill us back there?

Emma: *ahem*

Hailey: ...But...I forgive you...I can guess that it wasn't the world you cared about...But rather your Slime Babe. Martha...Afraid she would get hurt. Right?

Oliver: Well...yeah...you did unintentionally open up that chasm...and yeah, I kinda care about the world...But Martha more so. ...And Ed too I guess. But I was worried for her life, and I was angry...

Hailey: Okay...1: that was an accident. 2: The world thing was just a sarcastic joke. And 3: I know you care about your friends and family too. So yeah, I understand your fury when you thought Martha was hurt. In all honesty, I'd do the same if something were to happen to Emma here.

Emma: *giggle* Thanks Hailey.

Hailey: I know I look like I'm a big, confident, sassy chic who tends to talk about my a*s and s*x occasionally. But deep down, I can get real emotional if it involves the people I love and care about...Something...I'm sure you can agree on...Right?

Emma: Believe us...Martha is a great person. I can feel it.

Oliver: Y-Yeah...we can agree on that. ...I'm not very good at this, but again, I'm sorry for what I said, and if there's anything I can do to even attempt to make up for it, I'll do it.

Hailey: Hmm...well...You DID say you wanted to have a go against me. And I didn't spar with you yet. So, why not have a round against each other?

Oliver: Well, we DID spar. It was before you took us to the trial site. ...And honestly, I'm not looking for a fight right now.

Hailey: If you say so. But hey, if you ever need someone to train with, give me a holler.

Oliver: Okay...thanks for hearing me out.

Hailey: No problem. You are a great person, and an even better fighter too. So save that energy and passion for the arena.

Oliver: Okay...thanks Hailey.
*Oliver heads off back to the hotel he and Martha were staying at as Hailey and Emma continued their training.*

Martha: Hey Oliver...*Yawn* Where have you been?

Oliver: Ehh...I couldn't sleep so I took a walk on the beach. Apologized to Hailey too.

Martha: Ah. Okay...Nngh... I'm pretty exhausted after today...That Tremor Style drained me of my energy...

Oliver: It'll be easier to use now you know how to do it. But...I needed that walk. I'll be able to sleep now.

Martha: Guess the guilt was keeping you from taking a load off...I don't blame you for that.

Oliver: ...Maybe. I'm sorry you had to see that.

Martha: It was just a freak accident. So I saw why you were hoppin' mad.

Oliver: ...Yeah.

Martha: But it's alright, I'm not hurt or anything. If that's what your thought process was at the time. If anything, I think my slime form saved me from the fall.

Oliver: It was...and I'm glad you're okay.

Martha: I can say the same for you. Those monsters down there weren't at all pleasant.

Oliver: No. They weren't.
*Oliver climbs back into bed and lays next to Martha.*

Martha: *yawn* Heh...Sorry that the beds here are bit small...And that I'm pretty big in comparison. You and I will have to share this one.

Oliver: I-It's okay. I umm...I don't mind.

Martha: *soft chuckle* Of course you wouldn't mind...Emma did mention you seemed like the type to enjoy being snuggled with.

Oliver: Well, you're a big soft slime girl. How could I not mind?

Martha: True...But I'm not a slime girl right now...

Oliver: Still doesn't mean I don't mind being snuggled with though.

Martha: I can tell...But after today, it's something I'd like.

Oliver: Yeah, me too.

Martha: Well, I don't think we should wait any longer. Should we?

Oliver: No.
*The two then cuddle together before they doze off for the night. The following morning, the group made their way to the tournament venue, where Poseidon was acting as the announcer.*

Emma: Alright...Here's the arena guys. Good luck out there.

Hailey: Yeah. And fight strong, because the opponents you face will be pretty tough.

Poseidon: And we have our first round! Oliver, the Spring Fighter VS Shadowcaster, the Shadow fighter!
*A strange armoured creature with four eyes and spikes coming from it's head entered the ring, as did Oliver, confused at what he was looking at.*

Oliver: And what are you supposed to be? Some kind of robot?

Shadowcaster: I am from the darkest shadows of the world. You won't beat me.

Oliver: Oh yeah? We'll see about that...

Hailey: C'mon Oliver, beat his a*s!

Poseidon: Alright, round one! Begin!
*Shadowcaster floats towards Oliver as he sprints at the metallic entity. As the fight broke out, it seemed like Oliver's punches whiffed past Shadowcaster, leaving a strange purple mist behind.*

Oliver: What the...? An armoured ghost...?

Martha: That's...Not what I was expecting...

Eddie: Weird. It's similar to my smoke--
*Just then, Shadowcaster summoned a doppelganger of themself, hitting Oliver in the chin with a rising kick...from HIS shadow.*

Eddie: ...Or not. Ooh f*ck.
Emma: We know. We fought him before.

Hailey: It...It didn't go well.

Martha: He doesn't look like an easy fight.
*Shadowcaster then press their hands on the ground, casting a shadow on the ground, the shadow erupts in spikes. But quickly, Oliver used his spring style to jump high into the air, avoiding the sharp spikes.*

Martha: Yeesh...Those look like they hurt.

Hailey: Oh yeah...And they pop up from pretty much anywhere.

Oliver: So this guy uses shadows huh…? Then I’d better make sure they can’t think.
*The group only watches in suspense as Oliver dodges and runs about in the arena. Looking for an opening. Shadowcaster keeps up with the relentless attacks as Oliver tries getting in close. As the entity goes to slice Oliver with a shadow blade, he bounces up and uses his legs to push Shadowcaster backwards, sending them crashing to the ground.*

Hailey: Hmm...Nice moves on Oliver's part.

Emma: Maybe he can teach us some of his fighting moves.

Eddie: It’s just springs. You two don’t seem to have any issue bouncing off anything.
*The two fighters were circling each other, exchanging attacks some more. Until Shadowcaster floats upwards and casts a shadow on the whole arena.*

Martha: Whoa...Okay, this could be bad on Oliver's part.

Hailey: Ugh...I hate this part...
*Oliver looks around the arena and gets an idea. He throws himself out of bounds, but to keep himself from hitting the ground, and letting Shadowcaster secure the win, he grabs two palm trees. Shocking some of the audience, and Emma and Hailey, his arms stretched to an abnormal length before slingshotting himself back to the fight, attacking Shadowcaster's feet in the air as they were descending fast.*

Martha: Ha ha, nice rebound Oliver!

Emma: That shadow dude ain't gonna fool him.
*As they went hit for hit, Shadowcaster tried to slam Oliver to the ground, only to get spring spiked in the face, before Oliver flipped forward and hit the entity with a soaring axe kick, sending them crashing into the arena below, KO'ed.*

Hailey: Ouch...Heh, that's a well deserved win there for Ol'.

Martha: Woo! Great fight there Oliver!

Poseidon: And Oliver takes the first round! Up next, we have Phillip Turner!
*Up next, Oliver was up against an old man who looked too old to be fighting, but he seemed content in his place in the tournament.*

Oliver: For real? An old man?

???: Heh heh...don't let my appearance fool you, young blood.

Oliver: Whatever you say...Alright...show me what you can do!

(To be continued...)

Description
*After making it to the desert island Horumusuka, Oliver, Eddie, and Martha met up with two fighters known as Emma and Hailey, who were trained in the Tremor Style, and the Nature style as they could transform into both an Elephant, and a Hippo. And to put the trio to the test, Oliver and Eddie had to fight them, and now it was Martha's turn to challenge Hailey, as the two squared off on the sands of the beach. Martha in her slime form.*

Hailey: Alright little slime girl, I wanna see what you're made of, besides a few trips to the buffet.

Martha: Oh, I'm more than just a soft, big girl.

Oliver: You're not exactly one to talk, Hailey.

Hailey: Hey, I'm not gonna lie, I love me some sugar...But I burn it off quickly when I work out with Emma here.

Oliver: Coulda fooled me.
Eddie; Alright, can you guys just box already?

Hailey: If that's what you want, little man...

Eddie: Yeah. That’s why we’re here.
*Martha kicks things off with a stretchy slingshot, lunging herself towards Hailey as she too charges forward. Hailey tanks a couple of punches to the chest and face as Martha coils around her like a constricting snake. As she squeezed, Hailey could feel herself being crushed under Martha's grip, even though she was pretty sturdy herself.*

Hailey: Urk...! *Grunt* you starting off strong eh...? Good...
*Suddenly, Hailey brute forces her way out of Martha grip as she flexes her arms and legs and shoves her away. Following up with a sand assisted roundhouse kick to the stomach. However, Martha used that, as Hailey's foot was stuck in Martha's stomach, as she then grabbed Hailey and slammed her into the sand, before jumping up and clasping her hands together, making them as large as her before smashing them down on top of Hailey. Martha then rushes back in with some massive arms to grapple onto Hailey, and succeeds in doing so...But Hailey uses this to make her fall into her trap. Using Tremor style, she quakes the ground to daze Martha, then pivots her body to act as a weight. Reeling her into her rump and finishing off with a crater into the sands.*

Hailey: Sorry, I tend to squash the competition.

Oliver: You think Martha can't do the same?
*Martha then melts down into a puddle of slime, which submerges Hailey before she gets grabbed and piledrived into the sand so Martha could return the favour.*

Martha: You quit being an a*s and fight me already!

Hailey: Oh I am fighting. You're the one who's holding back girl.

Oliver: Says the one looking for a new a*s tattoo.
*Hailey then bull rushes Martha into some sandstone pillars she'd summoned up and crushes her with a hip check. The same pillar collapsed and fell on top of her.*

Martha: Nnngh...Gah...

Eddie: Is your bird always so...honest, about using her a*s, Emma?

Emma: *blushes* Eh...Heh, yeah. Not that I'm complaining. *Giggle*

Hailey: What can I say? I never skip leg day.
*Suddenly, Martha grunts and gets back up. Chunks of the stone pillar stuck in her fists.*

Martha: Hmm...I can work with this.
*Martha then heaves a heavy left hook to Hailey's side. Knocking her to the ground. The chunks of sandstone in Martha's fists were making her attacks stronger against Hailey as she was struggling to block all the hits.*

Hailey: Ugh...Damn girl, You don't mess around...I like it.

Martha: Of course you do...
Oliver: You done talking all that sh*t now, "Queen?"

Hailey: The one who's talking sh*t is the guy thirsty for some fat a*s. Isn't that right Ol'?

Emma: Oh, I thought I was the only one who knew.
*Hailey then uses her Tremor abilities once again. Quaking the ground to mess with Martha's footing. Stomping around like a sumo wrestler before sending a wave of sand in her direction. Burying the slime girl in an instant.*

Oliver: ! Martha!
Martha: *muffled* Mmmmph...Mmmrrrph...!

Hailey: Ah...She's strong...Just not strong enough.

Emma: Guess that means the Queen wins.

Hailey: You know it. But hey, no hard feelings for your girlfriend Oliver.

Oliver: Yeah, sure.
*Oliver walks over and helps Martha escape the sand mound.*

Martha: Nnnngh...*Cough cough* man...That sucked...

Hailey: I like that fire you got Martha...But you still got a long way to go if you wanna take someone down from my weight class.

Martha: Apparently...

Hailey: I suggest working out them arms and legs of yours. I feel like you can really deal some damage if they have more weight behind them.

Oliver: Oh, she can...not that you'll believe it.

Hailey: I believe she has the potential to wreck people's sh*t...But as of now...She's just a gimmick at this point.

Martha: Hmm...Some training would be nice.

Oliver: And you crushing people with your and your girlfriend's a*ses isn't?

Emma: Hey, it's viable.
Hailey: And you didn't seem to mind anyway.

Martha: Just recently he mentioned he was "that" kind of guy.

Emma: I knew it!

Oliver: Whatever. Can you take us to this trial site? Or are you gonna be talking about your a*ses all day?

Hailey: Hey, you're the thirsty one who brought it up. So who's REALLY gonna be talking about it all day?

Martha: I mean...She's not wrong there.
*Oliver blushes as he bites his tongue. Eddie taking the p*ss out of him from being too cocky.*

Emma: Alright, let's get moving while the sun is going down. The nights here are freezing.
*The five make their way over to the trial site so Oliver, Eddie and Martha can learn the Tremor Style.*

Martha: Hmm...I guess I could try to get a body like hers. But...I got a lot of work to do.
*After a bit of a walk, the group arrived at the trial site. Acting as their mentors, Emma and Hailey lead the exercise. To learn and pass the test, the trio would have to affect the ground with so much force that it would move the tectonic plates beneath the ocean around the island in order to pass.*

Hailey: Alright. Now...Let's show you how it's done...Emma, you wanna kick things off?

Emma: Sure! Pay attention everyone, because this is gonna get crazy real quick. You need to be super careful, otherwise you could fracture the planet to oblivion if done incorrectly. Now...Pay attention everyone, because this might look a bit complicated...Oh, and you guys might wanna hold onto something.
*Emma focuses her energy, and after performing an attack on the ground, a moment passed, before a distant rumble shook the trial site. Suddenly, several huge splashes of water appear from around the island. The tectonic plates around Horumusuka had shifted.*

Martha: WHOA-OH-OH!!

Hailey: Relax. You act like you've never been in an artificial earthquake before.

Oliver: We HAVEN'T.
Emma: Well, it shouldn't be anything too disastrous.

Oliver: So, we just gotta do that huh? ...What about you, Hippo? You wanna give this a shot? Or are you too regal for that?

Hailey: Ha, don't sass me kid. Because that's my job.

Oliver: That doesn't answer my question.
*Hailey takes a deep breath as she does the same thing. With a bit of swing to her step, she then stomps the ground. Suddenly the same effect occurs, but with more energy behind it.*

*...Almost a little too much. The plates cause the giant splashes around the island, when suddenly, the trial site breaks apart and a large quake starts forming across it.*

Oliver: F*ck! Move!
*The group are forced to bolt as the quakes were quickly breaking down the trial site, forming a pit beneath it. The group kept moving to avoid being swallowed, only for the quakes to start affecting in front of them as well, and the ground was too erratic to grab onto something, so the team wound up falling into the pit.*

Hailey: Eh...Umm...Guess that was a little too much power...

Oliver: Ugh...No kidding...
Eddie: Huh. Never wondered what happened if we failed one of these.

Oliver: Nnnngh...Martha? You okay...?

Martha: Oh, things are just peachy, nearly causing a supermassive quake. Ugh...Fortunately for me, I didn't really feel a thing.

Oliver: Fair enough...guess that explains why me and Ed aren't mangled right now...
*Oliver gets up, but not before having something to say to Hailey.*

Oliver: Just what the f*ck do you think that sh*t was?!

Hailey: Hey, I did it the same way Emma did. Something else must have made it a bit more stronger.

Oliver: Really? Or it's the fact you're not as perfect as you think you are?!

Eddie: Whoa, Ol' chill out.

Oliver: No! F*ck that! We all almost just died because princess perfect over here thought she could manage this! How are YOU a mentor for this martial art?!

Hailey: I didn't say I was perfect. Watch your tone there Ol'.

Emma: Well, something has to have caused that.

Oliver: Yeah, she's big, purple, and stood right next to you. Y'know, I was hoping to go against you all out in the tournament, but for nearly killing us, I'll do it right f*cking NOW.
*Oliver's energy was spiking as he dropped his bag and was approaching Hailey with no intention of backing down. That was until Eddie got in his way.*

Eddie: C'mon Ol', she didn't know that was gonna happen.
*Eddie turns to Hailey.*

Eddie: I mean, causing a tremor and throwing us into a pit was a doozy, but it doesn't mean she intended to do that.

Oliver: Get out of my way.

Hailey: Yeah, I didn't know that was gonna happen. So stop harassing me in trying to kill us like that.

Oliver: ...Hmph. Whatever. What makes you so great in fighting anyway? Crushing people half to death isn't fighting. It's you LITERALLY throwing your weight around! Even Emma can tell you that one!
*Oliver grabs his bag and heads off in the crevasse the group found themselves in.*

Eddie: Mate, where the hell are you going?

Oliver: To find a way out of this mess.

Emma: ...H-Hailey?
Hailey: I'm alright...Not so sure about him though...

Martha: He...Oliver has some issues, so best to leave him alone.

Eddie: It's more shock than anything. He'll be alright. But we'd better follow him.
*The four follow in Oliver's direction. The crevasse looked more of the same, jagged rock walls with the light from the surface shining distantly.*

Martha: I don't think I can stretch my arm up there. It'd be too high of a reach.

Eddie: And even my smoke drop can't get us out of this one. And I'm not sure Oliver's spring powers could either. At least not yet anyway.

Hailey: Hmm...The only way I see is that we need to keep climbing up.

Eddie: But there's no proper way to grab the walls. And I get the feeling using Tremor style here will...*shudder*

Oliver: Close this crevasse back up with whatever's in it? Yeah, it probably will. This thing goes on for miles.

Emma: That'd be a stupid idea to do that again down here...*Sigh* we just need to push on.

Oliver: Gee, ya think?
*The five keep pressing on to try and find an escape from the crevasse. As the group kept going, Martha kept getting strange feelings that ran through her body at random times. Almost like vibrations.*

Martha: Nnngh...Any of you feeling dizzy? I don't feel like I'm walking on solid ground.

Oliver: No? We're all good. Why? What do you feel?

Martha: I feel...Reverberations or something like that...You know like a seismograph? I can feel some...Strange vibrations.

Hailey: Maybe because you're still shaken in your jelly form.

Emma: No no...She's right...I feel them too. My Elephant Spirit can also feel the tremors in the ground.
*Soon, strange noises start filling the crevice. The five prepare themselves for a fight.*

Emma: I don't like the sound of that.
Hailey: Neither do I...

Martha: Still, I think it's something we can deal with. C'mon, but tread lightly...This still doesn't feel like solid ground.

Oliver: Wait…this energy…it’s Nen. That means there are some kind of monsters down here…

Eddie: Like at ShoSho beach?

Oliver: Yeah.
Martha: Oh god...Not that stuff again.

Hailey: Oh sh*t...Alright, no funny stuff here. We all have to be on our toes. The last thing we want is to get poisoned down here.

Oliver: Yeah, we know that one all too well…
*As the five stood guard for what was to come. And soon enough, monsters from the chasm started to appear, in the form of a giant, vicious earthworm, a golem with sand and cacti sprouting from its body, and small floating pyramids with strange arms, legs, and a large eye on them.*

Emma: Eww...Those things don't look like they've seen themselves in the mirror.

Oliver: Most of these Nen monsters haven't. Alright...Let's clean house and get out of this mess...

Martha: Right behind you Oliver.
*Martha readies her huge slime fists for battle, Hailey and Emma stand side by side like a tag team, and Oliver leads the group into the fray. Oliver uses the chasm walls to lure the earthworm into chasing him, and once it was past her, Martha wrapped her arms around it to keep it still as it hissed and writhed in her grip. He then bounces off the Chasm wall and fires a spring loaded punch into the worm's face, sending it tumbling through the sand.*

Martha: Good teamwork Oliver.

Emma: Remember not to let these things bite you! That Nen junk is nothing to joke about.

Eddie: We know! We've been poisoned by it before!
*Eddie dashes out of the way of a slam by the golem before firing a smoke grenade into the creature's face. Once it explodes, the golem stumbles around, struggling to see as Emma and Hailey jump in. Hailey dashes for the legs while Emma leaps up to topple the golem with a hefty kick to its face. Hailey channels her power and does a deviating 1-2 combo. Completely obliterating the legs to the Golem as it falls.*

Hailey: Sit down big guy!
*As it fell, it fired off a sandstorm from its mouth, before slamming the ground with its fists, sending the two skidding backwards.*

Emma: Nnnngh...

Hailey: Damn...Had to go out with a bang huh, big fella?
*Recovering from the attack, Hailey and Emma both split up to assist the group with whatever they're fighting. Martha was slamming the earthworm left to right against the chasm walls, as Oliver and Eddie were dodging psychic blasts from the pyramid monster as they tried to make their way up to it.*

Martha: You want some more?! C'mon, I can keep going all day!
*Martha then ends off by heaving the worm creature towards the pyramid monster. Knocking it down for Oliver and Eddie to get some attacks in. Eddie performs his orbital smoke drop as Oliver lays in with the spring fibre attack, and a spring loaded barrage of punches.*

Emma: That's it boys! Keep up that vigour against these creeps.

Eddie: That's the plan!
*Eddie smoke dashes through the pyramid to avoid being blasted by its eye, as Oliver weaves to its side, and the two continue attacking. Martha had just about wrangled the earthworm monster.*

Martha: *grunt* Hurry up guys! I can't hold onto this thing for an eternity now!

Hailey: Be strong Martha! The fellas are a bit busy now.
*The earthworm slaps Martha with its tail before bouncing up and hissing as it drops back down to bite her. Deciding to take matters into her own slimy hands, she lets the earthworm get in close, before her body erupts in sharp slime spikes all around, impaling the earthworm, causing it to let out a dying hiss as it fell to the ground and faded into dust as Martha's slime returned to normal.*

Martha: *deep breath* Good god...Glad that thing's dealt with.
*With a yell and burst of Chi from the boys, they shattered the pyramid Nen monster to bits, and Emma and Hailey just finished up wrangling the stone golem.*

Hailey: Grr...Emma! I need you to shatter this guy!

Emma: On my way, just hold him down!
*Hailey was seen using her sand abilities to forge sandstone to bind the Golem into the ground. Emma takes a running start before jumping up and smashing her trunk into the golem's head, smashing it to pieces before it turns to dust.*

Emma: Alright...That's the golem done and dusted.
*Suddenly, the chasm was being flooded with sand, and in moments, the group found themselves back on the trial site with minimal injuries.*

Martha: Umm...Alright.
Emma: That didn't happen when we did our trial.

Poseidon: Phew! Are you guys okay?
Martha: We're alright...Just shaken up from that whole ordeal.

Hailey: Ah, Poseidon. Thanks for the help out of there.

Poseidon: No problem! I sensed the Nen and went to fill up the chasm. But it sure was a surprise to see you guys pop up!

Emma: Well, we all took care of the creeps down there infected with that junk.

Poseidon: That is great news.
Oliver: But we still need to pass this trial...

Hailey: Yeah. We're trying to teach them on how to perform the Tremor Style, and...Well, the fractured earth was evidence that we had a bit of a detour.

Poseidon: I see! Well, I'm sure you'll both handle it well. After all, screwing up from time to time is how you learn. I've got a few more repairs to do so just be careful this time, yeah?
*Poseidon sinks down into the sand as Hailey and Emma get back to work teaching Oliver and Eddie the Tremor Style.*

Emma: Okay...Attempt #2.

Hailey: Right...Now...To try this again.
*Oliver quietly steps forward and focuses. His chi changes from purple to a murky orange as he focuses. He can hear and feel the deep, underground noises of the earth. He then shifts his focus to the tectonic plates around the island before slamming his hands onto the ground. One by one, each plate rumbles and shifts, causing a giant splash from each one.*

Emma: That was like a textbook example. Perfect form Oliver.

Oliver: ...Yeah.
*Up next was Eddie. He too took a moment to focus, as his chi changed colour to compensate for the changing of martial art. He too then attacks the ground, and the kinetic energy reacting to the tectonic plates, causing each one to splash.*

Hailey: Not bad there Ed. I really felt the power from that one.

Emma: Alright, all that's left is Martha.
*Martha moves up to attempt the Tremor Style, and as she focuses, her arms and legs start to crystallize as she is getting ready to trigger the tectonic plates.*

Emma: Whoa...I didn't know she could do that.

Martha: Shh...I'm trying to focus...
*And with an overhead smash, the crystals break from Martha's body as she creates a crystal barrier around herself, along with shaking the tectonic plates around the island.*

Hailey: Holy crap...I don't think I've seen that before...

Emma: And she passed the trial too.

Eddie: Heh, we all did. But it looks like we used up the day though. ...Hey, you two know where we can get a bite to eat? I'm f*ckin' starving.

Hailey: Yeah, I think we can pick out a place. C'mon, I know the feeling after a profitable training day. You get real hungry.

Eddie: Cheers.
*After finding and sitting down at a place to eat, the trio check into a hotel and call it a night. …However, Oliver couldn’t sleep. Quietly, he gets out of bed and takes a walk along the beach. After a while, he started to head back when some distant music coming from the trial site got his attention. Making his way over, he saw Emma and Hailey training.*

Emma: Hmm...Maybe with a shift, pivot, and then a Tremor Style kick?

Hailey: Interesting...But is that what the music is telling you to do? For me...It's more of a step, step, twist, and then shove to a Tremor style punch.
*Hailey seems to be training Emma in the form of Dance fighting with some music against a dummy. The two acted like a sweet couple as they practiced.*

Emma: *blushes* Hee hee hee...I guess I can give it a try. Maybe I can spar with Poseidon with these techniques.

Hailey: That's the spirit Emma.
Oliver: H-Hailey? Emma?

Emma: Hmm? Oh, Oliver.

Hailey: What brings you here, huh...? Did you come to harass me on how I train with my girlfriend?
*Hailey still looked a bit peeved at Oliver after the incident earlier that day.*

Emma: Hey, don't need to be mad about it. It's behind us now.

Oliver: No. I came to apologize. I'm...sorry for what I said. I was out of line, and overreacted.

Hailey: Yeah it was. Now why the hell did you even think about me trying to kill us back there?

Emma: *ahem*

Hailey: ...But...I forgive you...I can guess that it wasn't the world you cared about...But rather your Slime Babe. Martha...Afraid she would get hurt. Right?

Oliver: Well...yeah...you did unintentionally open up that chasm...and yeah, I kinda care about the world...But Martha more so. ...And Ed too I guess. But I was worried for her life, and I was angry...

Hailey: Okay...1: that was an accident. 2: The world thing was just a sarcastic joke. And 3: I know you care about your friends and family too. So yeah, I understand your fury when you thought Martha was hurt. In all honesty, I'd do the same if something were to happen to Emma here.

Emma: *giggle* Thanks Hailey.

Hailey: I know I look like I'm a big, confident, sassy chic who tends to talk about my a*s and s*x occasionally. But deep down, I can get real emotional if it involves the people I love and care about...Something...I'm sure you can agree on...Right?

Emma: Believe us...Martha is a great person. I can feel it.

Oliver: Y-Yeah...we can agree on that. ...I'm not very good at this, but again, I'm sorry for what I said, and if there's anything I can do to even attempt to make up for it, I'll do it.

Hailey: Hmm...well...You DID say you wanted to have a go against me. And I didn't spar with you yet. So, why not have a round against each other?

Oliver: Well, we DID spar. It was before you took us to the trial site. ...And honestly, I'm not looking for a fight right now.

Hailey: If you say so. But hey, if you ever need someone to train with, give me a holler.

Oliver: Okay...thanks for hearing me out.

Hailey: No problem. You are a great person, and an even better fighter too. So save that energy and passion for the arena.

Oliver: Okay...thanks Hailey.
*Oliver heads off back to the hotel he and Martha were staying at as Hailey and Emma continued their training.*

Martha: Hey Oliver...*Yawn* Where have you been?

Oliver: Ehh...I couldn't sleep so I took a walk on the beach. Apologized to Hailey too.

Martha: Ah. Okay...Nngh... I'm pretty exhausted after today...That Tremor Style drained me of my energy...

Oliver: It'll be easier to use now you know how to do it. But...I needed that walk. I'll be able to sleep now.

Martha: Guess the guilt was keeping you from taking a load off...I don't blame you for that.

Oliver: ...Maybe. I'm sorry you had to see that.

Martha: It was just a freak accident. So I saw why you were hoppin' mad.

Oliver: ...Yeah.

Martha: But it's alright, I'm not hurt or anything. If that's what your thought process was at the time. If anything, I think my slime form saved me from the fall.

Oliver: It was...and I'm glad you're okay.

Martha: I can say the same for you. Those monsters down there weren't at all pleasant.

Oliver: No. They weren't.
*Oliver climbs back into bed and lays next to Martha.*

Martha: *yawn* Heh...Sorry that the beds here are bit small...And that I'm pretty big in comparison. You and I will have to share this one.

Oliver: I-It's okay. I umm...I don't mind.

Martha: *soft chuckle* Of course you wouldn't mind...Emma did mention you seemed like the type to enjoy being snuggled with.

Oliver: Well, you're a big soft slime girl. How could I not mind?

Martha: True...But I'm not a slime girl right now...

Oliver: Still doesn't mean I don't mind being snuggled with though.

Martha: I can tell...But after today, it's something I'd like.

Oliver: Yeah, me too.

Martha: Well, I don't think we should wait any longer. Should we?

Oliver: No.
*The two then cuddle together before they doze off for the night. The following morning, the group made their way to the tournament venue, where Poseidon was acting as the announcer.*

Emma: Alright...Here's the arena guys. Good luck out there.

Hailey: Yeah. And fight strong, because the opponents you face will be pretty tough.

Poseidon: And we have our first round! Oliver, the Spring Fighter VS Shadowcaster, the Shadow fighter!
*A strange armoured creature with four eyes and spikes coming from it's head entered the ring, as did Oliver, confused at what he was looking at.*

Oliver: And what are you supposed to be? Some kind of robot?

Shadowcaster: I am from the darkest shadows of the world. You won't beat me.

Oliver: Oh yeah? We'll see about that...

Hailey: C'mon Oliver, beat his a*s!

Poseidon: Alright, round one! Begin!
*Shadowcaster floats towards Oliver as he sprints at the metallic entity. As the fight broke out, it seemed like Oliver's punches whiffed past Shadowcaster, leaving a strange purple mist behind.*

Oliver: What the...? An armoured ghost...?

Martha: That's...Not what I was expecting...

Eddie: Weird. It's similar to my smoke--
*Just then, Shadowcaster summoned a doppelganger of themself, hitting Oliver in the chin with a rising kick...from HIS shadow.*

Eddie: ...Or not. Ooh f*ck.
Emma: We know. We fought him before.

Hailey: It...It didn't go well.

Martha: He doesn't look like an easy fight.
*Shadowcaster then press their hands on the ground, casting a shadow on the ground, the shadow erupts in spikes. But quickly, Oliver used his spring style to jump high into the air, avoiding the sharp spikes.*

Martha: Yeesh...Those look like they hurt.

Hailey: Oh yeah...And they pop up from pretty much anywhere.

Oliver: So this guy uses shadows huh…? Then I’d better make sure they can’t think.
*The group only watches in suspense as Oliver dodges and runs about in the arena. Looking for an opening. Shadowcaster keeps up with the relentless attacks as Oliver tries getting in close. As the entity goes to slice Oliver with a shadow blade, he bounces up and uses his legs to push Shadowcaster backwards, sending them crashing to the ground.*

Hailey: Hmm...Nice moves on Oliver's part.

Emma: Maybe he can teach us some of his fighting moves.

Eddie: It’s just springs. You two don’t seem to have any issue bouncing off anything.
*The two fighters were circling each other, exchanging attacks some more. Until Shadowcaster floats upwards and casts a shadow on the whole arena.*

Martha: Whoa...Okay, this could be bad on Oliver's part.

Hailey: Ugh...I hate this part...
*Oliver looks around the arena and gets an idea. He throws himself out of bounds, but to keep himself from hitting the ground, and letting Shadowcaster secure the win, he grabs two palm trees. Shocking some of the audience, and Emma and Hailey, his arms stretched to an abnormal length before slingshotting himself back to the fight, attacking Shadowcaster's feet in the air as they were descending fast.*

Martha: Ha ha, nice rebound Oliver!

Emma: That shadow dude ain't gonna fool him.
*As they went hit for hit, Shadowcaster tried to slam Oliver to the ground, only to get spring spiked in the face, before Oliver flipped forward and hit the entity with a soaring axe kick, sending them crashing into the arena below, KO'ed.*

Hailey: Ouch...Heh, that's a well deserved win there for Ol'.

Martha: Woo! Great fight there Oliver!

Poseidon: And Oliver takes the first round! Up next, we have Phillip Turner!
*Up next, Oliver was up against an old man who looked too old to be fighting, but he seemed content in his place in the tournament.*

Oliver: For real? An old man?

???: Heh heh...don't let my appearance fool you, young blood.

Oliver: Whatever you say...Alright...show me what you can do!
