Description: Though Midus knew there was a storm approaching, instead of closing the ceilings of the fighting arenas, he has instead decided to keep them open to add an interesting aspect to the next round. Instead of a nice, warm sunny day, the fighters would instead be fighting in the harsh condition of ten mile per hour winds that will sometimes gust to thirty mph, heavy rain drops (though not disturbing enough to cause total distraction to sight; maybe 20% reduction), and the occasional thunderbolt lighting up the skies. To help make the arena more comfortable for the fighters, the floor has been turned into low cut grass to help keep traction. However, if the ground is dug up too much, mud and dirt will be added to the terrain.

Despite the weather, the crowd of people have come to watch the fight, wielding umbrellas over their heads.

Special Conditions: Fire is a bit weaker here since it'll be harder to start up one without the rain putting it out. And electricity will get a bigger boost in strength, though it will also short out much faster than if wielded normally by the fighters who possess it.

Field Measurements:
Ring: 70 yard diameter

Ten Count Boundary: As soon as a fighter enters the bleachers, the count begins. The flying rule remains, as well.

User ImageA true warrior knows not to celebrate a single victory because there are much more difficult battles to come.

A wise prince knows not to celebrate a flawless victory because true victory comes through sweat and blood.

Benjamin was neither of these things, being both a foolish, kingdomless prince and a whimsical fighter, yet he still knew that his first round victory was no cause for celebration. There was simply a gut feeling that his win was somehow tainted or hollow, a feeling that would turn any food to ash in his mouth and any drink to ash against his tongue. In an effort to deny such a horrid feeling a repeat performance, he put more effort towards the next round.

With time provided to him before between the match-up announcements and the start of round two itself, Benjamin spent a little time in front of the tube doing research. Thirty minutes, a replay and a forecast later, Benjamin knew all he needed to know. One, his opponent was a hand to hand combatant and as such he was leaving some of his heavier weaponry in his suite. And two, the gods had favored him with some pleasant weather and so he was leaving some of his heavier armor home as well.

All of which brought him here, to this one moment. A moment between moments, a moment when time stands still for one brief second to allow to take advantage of Kodak moment. On one side of the arena, empty air on the other, Benjamin in all his glory silhouetted against a bolt of lightning.

Lightning that seemed to shimmer off his blond locks which now hung from his head as if conceding defeat to the gravity-downpour double team. Lightning that seemed to ignite his blue eyes, giving them an unearthly shine. Lightning that caused his white shirt to glow and his brown slacks to richen in hue. Lightning that showed reflected off the polish on his black boots and metallic gauntlets.

Lightning which would spell trouble for Valentine, as it was already empowering Benjamin in both ego and spirit.

As the rain fell and Benjamin stood there awaiting for his opponent in this moment of lightning stardom, someone in a black raincoat rushed out from the other side, jogging toward Benjamin through the storm. A hood hid their face as they approached, the coat itself black in color. Everyone looked down, wondering if it was Benjamin's opponent that had finally come. When the person stopped in front of the man, the hood came off, revealing a womanly face. None of her yellow hair even came close to her forehead, all curved back over the back of her head. One of the standing out features of her hair was that she had these two antenna-like strands of it extending higher over her head than usual in very long lengths that uncoiled from their holding inside of her hood, bending down behind her.

Bright blue-green eyes looked at Benjamin as the woman spoke to him:

"Hi. I'm Larx, one of Midus's officials. I was sent out here to tell you that your opponent Valentine has unexpectedly dropped out of the tournament. Because of this, you are free to leave whenever you want. I hope you're not disappointed."

She said this in a tone of sadness, paralleling the despair of the situation of people not being able to see a fight today.

Suddenly, a flash of light would appear around Benjamin as he's teleported to a new arena.
