Azuria, a nation founded in the unexplored regions. It's streets are wide and paved with black rocks, lamps hang over the roads. Houses are arranged in simple beautiful order with easy movement, not to mention the tiny shops placed around to make acquisition easy. The houses are of various colors with the highest reaching 4 floors with flowers and plants neatly decorating the streets. Yet a city this beautiful is empty with not a soul in sight.
A commotion is at the western part of the city and it seems everyone has gathered for a festival. Azurians big and small are looking at a raised stage with the king on it, King Paxius glances at everyone. "So, who tied a pink bow on our dragon gate keeper? It's suppose to look intimidating."
An female Azurian shrugs, "Lighten up! With what happened, only a maniac will want to mess with us."
Paxius facepalms, "I know but a pink bow, seriously? Also the Mistlings should stop trapping outsiders in an illusion, we've missed a lot of ambassadors."
Isadora floats in the air, "What ambassador enters a city by climbing a wall?" She shrugs, "Besides, haven't you been getting a little mushy with Little Lyra?"
"Ahem." Paxius clears his throat, "That's not up for discussion." A Xeno asks Isa, "What's mushy?" Paxius claps getting their attention, "Alright! We chose today as a special day to take a break…..None of you look like you want it anyway." The Azurians have indifferent faces.
Astrarigel flaps his wings and stands on a pole, "It's no fun without mum. At least we got to pull her hair." A portal opens beside him in the air and a voice comes from it.
"Whose hair do you pull for fun?" Astrarigel freaks out and floats running with his legs. Nytri comes out with her hands on her waist, "I ought'a tie you to a roof."
Astrarigel trembles, "Not the roof! I've been a good boy! I haven't done….." He realizes his next words might get him into trouble so he changes, "I~ haven't done my chores today. I'll do them before bed time." He grins.
Nytri raises a brow, "A~lright, whatever you did I'll let it slide for today." Astrarigel throws his arms around in celebration. Nytri looks around and smiles, "Who's ready for a holiday?!" They all cheer.
Paxius squints his mouth mumbling, "What have I been trying to do this entire time. A few words and it's a party." Lyra chuckles and pats his back to comfort him.
Nytri raises her hand to the sky and fires fireworks, "LET'S PLAY MONSTER BALL!" she flaps her wings and flies up, everyone follows her one way or the other to an empty field. The empty field is almost 1 kilometer in size, Nytri looks around it. "Waow, you guys really cleared the field."
The field has a line dividing it into 4, it's a ball game requiring 4 teams to play. Each team has a goal which is a metal circle floating in the sky, the goal is to shoot the ball through it. Skills are allowed except runes so no magic, or fighting or keeping the ball like sealing and stuff. Just shoot it towards the other goal and you can move to other territories but you can't attack but can be pushed back. Each team has 6 players with a captain, the captain is the keeper. An attacker who is often at the center of the field with 2 others and 2 in the midfields.
Around the field are stands for spectators, the first round is about to begin and the crowd goes wild. 4 teams start walking onto the field, with colors red, yellow, green and blue. They gather at the center of the field like a circle looking at each other and a referee stands before them. The referee, Astrid (female Azurian with hair tied into a bun) blows a whistle then speaks very loud, "Alright everyone, you know the rules. Now, to your courts!" She raises her hand and a ball fall in her hand, just so you know it's a Supreme Grade artifact so it is very tough and heavy.
On the first court in red, we've got Kael, Isadora, Minerva, Sivendyto(Xeno male with tiger design clothes), Foru(Xeno female cheeky grin) and Lucian(Male Azurian with a pony tail, has aura of a noble.). Kael and Isadora are attackers with Minerva, Lucian and Foru playing midfielders. Sivendyto is the goal keeper.
On the second court is yellow, there's Nytri, Astrarigel, Nyx(Female Azurian with a darker tone), Zephyr, Ereveen(Xeno male) and Wanwansi(Xeno male). Nytri, Astrarigel and Nyx are attackers, Zephyr and Ereveen are midfielders and Wanwansi is the goal keeper.
On the third court is green, Thalassa(Female Azurian proficient with wind), Kalean (Female Azurian with vines and flowers around arms, plant person), Ivan(Xeno male, looks exactly like Nytri but male with silver hair and eyes.), Wanwanfi(Xeno female, red mixed in silver hair), Sera(Female Azurian Twin with web clothes designs) and Seren(Female Azurian Twin formerly spider so hair is tied with web designs) are ready. Wanwanfi is the attacker, Kalean, Ivan, Sera and Seren are midfielders with Thalassa as goal keeper
On the final court is blue, there's Raine(Female Azurian with water bubble design clothes), Twennysi (Xeno male, smallish but very fast with lightening hair), Wan(Xeno male, bulky form), Dialdelios, Rufus(Female Azurian with light skin) Silva(Female Azurian, dark metallic skin for some reason). Raine, Twennysi and Dialdelios are attackers, Rufus and Wan are midfielders with Silva as goal keeper.
Astrid, the referee looks to all the court, "Are you ready?!" All 24 players get ready, each looking at the ball and glancing at each other. They start formulating a strategy on what to do, the first one to get the ball can either attack or stall.
Astrid tosses the ball high in the sky and the game begins!!!!!!
[AU:INFO
- Monster Ball: A game created in the realm of monsters and played by some monsters to teach them strategy. The king being the goal keeper protects the goal which is him staying still far back while he orders the others on how to move. The attackers are those who venture off to invade, midfielders are those who protect or can attack.
- Nytri first observed Monster Ball when she visited the Titanosaurian clan with Mama Zilla and Ryu. She noticed how adults and kids played together. It consists of 4 teams because in wars, there's always a high chance of interference from other territories which seek to reap the benefits of 2 exhausted opponents.
- So this game is to let you attack while defending from unsuspecting attacks. And yes the goal keeper can move from the goal and leave it to another but remains captain. Though the size of the field is big, the goal is located at the center of each court.
- Stalling: Since you can't directly attack a player in this game, you can stall by keeping the ball in your court. Though there's a limit to stalling the ball it doesn't mean the other teams will sit back and watch you keep it. Stalling is done in hopes of luring other players or letting those players regroup.
- The game has 15 minutes time interval. If first 15 minutes, the team without a point loses or lowest point and is kicked out. If a draw then the draw teams continue for another 3 minutes. After each half time, the point returns to 0.
- The second 15 minutes is the same as the first, the team without a point or lowest point is kicked out leaving 2 teams and that's the finals. The 2 teams face each other and play for 15 minutes and the team with the highest point wins.
- All participants are Calamities so their speed and strength is abnormal and they all can put up a fight with Nytri since she's the bar to measure strength.
NOTE: This part is going to be very hard so will try my best. Will tell from Nytri's perspective as usual so will miss a lot of things the characters does. Besides, saying what everyone is doing will be boring, there'd be no surprises.
