Skiverdra prepared to attack the guy in the ice-blue robes.

Chris readies his sword in case of an attack.
"What is that?" he asked nervously.

"I'm not sure." Skiverdra replied, "I'm not taking any chances, though."

Chris was shocked to see Skiverdra charge at the icy figure.
"Wait!" he shouted to Skiverdra. "We don't even know what it is!"

With blurred, hazy vision, Boltlock gets up just in time to see a blue shadow edge closer to him and the group.

Chris sees the blue figure move closer to Boltlock, reaching its icy fingers out to him.
"Oh, no you don't!" he yelled to the mysterious figure.
Right before Chris was about to run into the figure, he jumped up and kicked at it and finished with a slap with the flat side of his blade, knocking it to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Chris asked Boltlock. But before Boltlock could say anything, Chris felt a hard blow to his back and was sent flying into Boltlock, knocking them both flat on the ground.
"Oww," Chris said as he got up. "Where did it say we were going to get a beating like this in the student handbook?" He helped Boltlock up. "Shall we take him on?"

"Welcome, children of the rings." A sweet, calming voice echoed throughout the cavern. The shadowy figure that was attacked seemed to disappear at the sound of the booming voice. The blue-robed figure turned towards the boys and began to approach - a floating mirror constantly following. Adorned with lengths of shimmering silk and jewelry shaped into crystalline flowers the figure was a sight to behold. A blindfold - white as a moonbeam - covered the figure's eyes.
"I am Niobe, bearer of the Ring of Gates." Niobe said. "I have kept watch over you all - the five ring bearers of Death, Punishment, Moon, Beast, and Circle - with the power of the Gates."
Niobe held out her hand and showed a silver ring with an embedded deep-violet gemstone. "This ring allows me to transcend and move around the infinite planes that make up our world. Time, space, physical, soul; all planes can be seen and manipulated by me.
"Come... follow me. Your rings await your arrival..." Niobe said as she turned and walked slowly away from the group - approaching a nearby entrance.

Chris turned to the rest of the group.
"Should we trust Niobe?" he asked with a bit of uncertainty in his voice.

"I don't know about you guys," said a voice from behind the group, "but I'm goin' for it. It can't be much worse than what's already happened..."

Upon hearing the new stranger's voice, Jean turned around and pointed his gun towards the newcomer. He gazed at the new person. Same school uniform, staff... he must be in the tournament too... Jean thought.
"Who are you?" Jean asked as he lowered his gun and returned it to its holster.

"Who, me?" the new boy said playfully, tossing back his head and grinning at Jean, "Oh, I'm just some guy who got pulled into all this crap...nice gun, by the way." He walked over to Jean, stopping a couple of feet away from him, and leaned forward to examine the weapon. "Hmm...very nice make indeed. Let me guess, they gave you tranqs for the tourny?" he asked, looking back up at Jean.

Skiverdra turned and brought his scythe so that the tip of the curved blade was millimeters from the new kid's throat. "Who are you?" he gruffly asked, "Tell me, or I'll kill you myself."

"Heey, nice scythe," said the boy, still grinning playfully, "must've taken a while to learn how to use, huh?" Suddenly, he shifts his footing, his neck pulling away from the curved blade. At the same time, the Bo he was carrying whips forward, catching the handle of the scythe, knocking it further back. He shifts his weight back, bending his knees, and leaps back away from Skiverdra, Bo at ready in front of him. "Besides," he calls back to him, grin widening, "you didn't say please..."

Chris laughed at the newcomer's playfulness. Then he walked up to Skiverdra and kicked his scythe out of his hand.
"Knock that off," he growled. He turns to the newcomer. "Don't mind Skiverdra," Chris said as turns his head to face Skiverdra for a few seconds and then back to the newcomer. "He can be a little paranoid at times, especially when something new comes along." He looks around for a few seconds. "So, would you mind introducing yourself to us?"
