 Quote: Fight Stats Attack: 1% Defense: 1% Speed: 1% Agility: 1% Intelligence: 1% New home, new handler, new opponents... Senna's eyes darted nervously about her. It wasn't like she had ever been in the pit before. The pit. She'd heard so much about this growing up. It was all she ever heard about. Her parents had talked constantly about all the victories they had had over the years, in this very place. Her siblings had babbled incessantly about all the victories that they would one day have, in this very place.
And now, here she was. Honestly, she was a little scared. What was it going to be like, fighting another one of her kind, most likely coming from prestigious fighting blood as well, most likely trained as well as she had been. Would she even remember her training once that bell rang? Once the other Mokai came charging toward her?
Senna kind of doubted it. She was almost shaking where she stood, and already her breath was starting to come out short. The striped Mokai swallowed. What was she doing here? And she might have turned tail and attempted to flee, but for the hand gripping her collar. Her gaze shifted upward toward Devin. A strict handler, yes, but empathetic too, and she knew by the way his thumb gently stroked her neck that he could tell she was scared.
And then, the bell rang. Oh dear. Devin released her collar, and for a moment she stood, unsure of what to do. Then she started running.

Link's Fighting Stats Attack: 1*3 = 3% Defense: 1% Speed: 1% Agility: 1% Intelligence: 1% “Easy Link, we’re going in, see?” Lila laughed, as her excited mokai pulled at his lead. All this was so new to him, he didn’t know what to expect! Just arriving on the island, all the new sounds, sights, amused him. There was just so much to see, and not enough to time to do so. He had somehow whittled his owner into bringing him into the compound, and he would participate in his first battle. All he wanted to know was what it was like. Lila wasn’t the one who wanted to win all the time, she just liked seeing him have a good time. If Link didn’t want to battle a week, she’d be fine with that.
“You ready boy?” She asked, walking into the compound. She stared at the pit. “So this is it?” Link apparently had the same thought in mind, as he seemed stunned as well.
“Remember buddy, just have fun out there! Win or lose, I still love you!” She put Link into the pit, unhooking her lead on him. The male trotted off, his tail wagging as he spotted his opponent. A female? Aww… Oh well! He’d have fun even if it meant fighting a girl.
When the bell sounded, the female beforehand charged at him. He blinked, so you were suppose to run at each other first? He could dig that. With his tail still wagging, he ran towards the lighter mokai, his expression showing he was just having a good time. There was silence except for the footsteps beat against the ground. Erupts from the crowd would surely ensue as soon as the mokai collided with each other.

A foot away from the other Mokai, Senna pulled up short. What was she doing?!? He looked so happy. Was that what she was supposed to look like too? Her white-tipped ears turned back uncertainly. Was her tail supposed to be wagging too...? She waved it half-heartedly, unsure.
This made no sense. She must be getting it all wrong! The thought was depressing, but... just another one in a long train of depressing thoughts. There weren't that many things that she was good at, she didn't think. At the very least, not many things that she did right.
Her ear turned as she heard the impatient booing from the crowd. Her head turned, taking the crowded humans in. Oh, no, they were angry, and she still had no idea what they expected.
Maybe she was actually supposed to attack. Lifting a paw, she batted it at him. Like that, maybe...

As the female pulled up, Link skidded to a halt. He watched her curious, tail coming to a slight halt mid wag. His ears perked forward as he listened to the boos from the crowd, before he turned back towards Lila, noting how she was chuckling, but keeping her head in her hand as she shook her head. What was so funny? And why were these strangers booing at them.
When the female lifted her paw to bat at him, his ears flopped down. “I think we are doing it wrong…” Link said quietly, licking at the area the mokai had just touched. “They don’t sound very happy.” His tail began to wag again, not your usual gesture from your typical fighter.
Though, instead of going out into an all out brawl, Link took his paw, mimicking the light female’s move. He might have hit her just a little lighter than she had him though. “... I don't see all the hype in this.”

"We are?" She said despairingly. She knew it! Of course this would be the one thing she had been born to do, and of course she would screw it up! No wonder her first handler had given her way. If Senna had been a human, she would have done the same. This was terrible.
Her ears flattened sadly at the thought of letting people down - not just Devin, but all these people. But what could she do? She wasn't sure what she was doing wrong, and she certainly didn't want to have to bite the happy Mokai standing across from her.
He seemed like such a nice one.
"Can I..." She trailed off, unsure of what to say. And what if she just... hit him again? Maybe that would stop the booing. She reached out a paw and poked at his midsection.

Link nodded. “I don’t think that is the typical…motion of the people. I always heard stories of cheering in the compound…not booing.” His ears twisted as he gave a slight frown. Oh well, at least his owner seemed happy, and so did he!
As the mokai reached down to poke his mid section, Link chuckled. “Heeey! That tickles!”
Getting into a position in which might have given the humans the wrong impression (it was a playful fighting stance, but it showed in the crowds mind the possibility of some action about to happen, the dark male wagged his tail, wiggling his bum in the air. Without a second to spare, he pounced playfully on the female.
“Gotcha!” It looked like a tackle from the stands above, but there was no hostilities from his actions.

"But what if they..." Did something? She didn't even know. Already, she could see people turning their backs and shuffling out of the stands. Clearly, they weren't very entertaining as fighters. Senna hadn't ever really expected to be one, but this confirmation of her fighting ineptitude was mildly jarring. After all that training, and... this?
She sighed, casting her glance back toward Devin. She didn't really fancy the idea of being given away again, and maybe if she didn't make a good first impression, he would. Her gaze found her human's face in the crowd. It wasn't highly readable, but she thought... maybe she saw a bit of a smile? The striped Mokai swallowed.
And then, suddenly... "Oof..." She was tackled and pinned on the floor. She couldn't help but giggle. This was actually kind of fun. Reaching up, she wrapped her paws around his neck and rolled, attempting to sweep him off his feet and pin him that way.

She had succeeded in doing so. No sooner did Link feel the paws wrap around his neck, did he feel the himself being twisted off the ground, and onto his back. “Hey, cheater!” His tail beat the ground though, making a inaudible thud against heavy noise of the compound.
“I’ll get you back!” He looked for something that may be good for him to grab. Her collar? No…her muzzle? No…Aha! Reaching upwards (stabilizing himself by lightly pressing his back legs to her chest), Link grabbed one of Senna’s ears, tugging at it as if he were a puppy. The once cheers that the crowd emitted a moment ago were replaced with boos again.
“’ehy still don’ ‘ike us.” Link said with his mouth full of ear. Spitting it out, his orange gazed stared into her eyes. “What are we doing wrong? We are suppose to be having fun…right?”

Senna grinned. "Pinned ya!" Her laughed turned into a squeak of surprise when he began to chew on her ear, and she turned and flopped onto the floor. Her eyes swept through the arena as the boos returned, and she sighed again. Apparently, this wasn't right either.
She shook her head. "I don't know..." She said softly. They had tried, hadn't they? What else did the humans want? Maybe they needed something more dramatic. Like a face shot.
Looking over, she took a paw and smooshed it against his cheek. Maybe something like that would catch their attention.
In the stands, she could glimpse Devin slowly shaking his head and, in spite of himself, chuckling. Were they really being that funny? Senna wasn't sure.

Link had made the final move. As soon as she pushed her paw into his cheek, he reached up, push n arm into her shoulder. The sound of the bell to deem the fight over rang. It seemed the crowd erupted in cheers then, glad the fight was over. (“Finally!” and “That wasn’t a fight!” were a few of the comments Link had heard.)
“I think we are done?” His ears perked as Lila whistled for him to come back to her. “Aww…I was just having fun too…” Link sighed, rolling from his back and onto his feet. “I guess I’ll see you around?” he trotted off, tail wagging just the way it had been when he first had entered the compound.
Did I do good, Lila, did I? did I? Link yipped as he approached his owner.
“Oh Link, you are such a goof. We may have to hold off on entering you in any fights for a bit.” Lila’s tone was happy as she reached down to pet her mokai. “Come on boy, let’s go get you a nice meal. You deserve it for giving me a good laugh that I haven’t had in a while.” She took her mokai from the pit. She wasn’t embarrassed about what had happened, she knew that there would be days that things would happen. She just…didn’t expect it to go like this. Shrugging to herself, she reminded herself that as long as he was having fun, so was she.

"Yea," Senna replied, slowly getting up and watching as the crowds thinned. "See you around." She felt torn. This clearly wasn't the way the fight was supposed to have gone, and the humans were not pleased. But it had been fun. Fun! Didn't that count for something?
She heard Devin call her name, and she turned, still uncertain. Maybe he would be able to tell her what she had done wrong. Slowly, she trotted back to him, almost surprised to feel the brisk pat on her back.
"Don't worry, girl," she heard him say without a touch of anger in his voice. "We'll get this sorted out. You're just confused, is all."
Confused? That she was. With one last backward glance at the pit, she allowed herself to be led out of the arena. Maybe next week would be better. Maybe.
