 This was it... This was the day he had been waiting for...
Krystian approached the Sandlot with his head high, palms sweating, and Struggle sword in hand. He was confident in himself yet also very nervous due to the fact he had no idea who any of the contestants were and what they were capable of. The boy had trained diligently for weeks in hopes to finally win the championship and get that belt he only dreamed of having. He got goosebumps just thinking about it! His excitement nurtured his confidence which seemed infinite... until he laid eyes on the contestants in the far corner of the sandlot.
He saw all these people and immediately knew he was up for a big surprise in the struggle ring. So many of these people... Krys already knew he was most likely nothing of a match to them, but something in the back of his head ushered him to join all the people there. Besides, what was there to lose, anyway? No one knew him around here and even if he did lose this year, at least he would have a taste of that adrenaline once again! Feeling the need to calm himself through conversation, Krystian looked around for anyone that seemed appealing to talk to...

~Stella Nova~ This is the day that Twilight Town will know who Stella is. Well, that isn't one hundred percent true because people know who she is because of the explosive temper she tends to have, especially if someone messes with her hair, but that isn't the name she wants to set out for herself. Whether she wins or loses the tournament, she won't be known as that girl who can't keep her temper in check, but someone cool to be with. Still, the idea of being a champion got her fired up and she will definitely go for gold if possible.
After registering for the tournament, she picked up her Struggle Bat that was in the shape of a Sword. It was simply a bat with no hand guard, a weapon made for pure offense, which worked well for Stella since her philosophy on fighting is "the best defense is offense". If your opponent can't attack you, then why do you need to defend yourself. With Struggle Bat in hand, she looked over the other combatants who joined the tournament. Some of them she recognized as bullies, who shouldn't be too hard to beat, others who she heard of and will have to be cautious, but then there are foreigners who have come to participate in this tournament that she can't assume whether they are weak or strong fighters. Making her way over to that crowd with her bat on her right shoulder, she put on a big smile as she figured this is a good time to make some new friends. The first combatant she tried talking to was a foreigner, or at least she believes to be a foreigner since she never seen him in Twilight Town before. The one she approached went by the name of Krystian, who she pleasantly smiled at as she introduced herself to him.
"You look like you're looking for someone to talk to. That or your a lost puppy. Anyways, my name is Stella, who you will know as the Struggle champion. I never seen you in this town before, so is it okay for me to assume that you're not from around here? Like, are you from another world?"

Krystian turned and calmly faced Stella with a brilliant expression, giving her a friendly smile,
"Stella, huh? Cool name!" The boy rubbed the back of his head nervously, chuckling. "Was it easy to tell...? I am, actually, but I was told not to mention that to too many people. I'm, uh, from a smaller world that no one's really heard about. Seeing that you can point me out from everyone else, I can assume you're from around here...?"
Krys tipped his head to the side curiously then looked around at all the other contestants for a moment. "To be honest, you kinda seem to stand out as much as I do, compared to all these people. I mean- not that that's a bad thing! You just seemed to stand out a little to me is all." Krystian blushed a little in hopes he didn't offend Stella with his carelessness.

Kayligai Nura Kayligai appeared from a warp of darkness from a alleyway but heard a lot of noise from somewhere so he went to it. He walked up to the location that has a lot of people watching for something, since he left for his travels to understand his abilities and powers now awakened with his natural ones from his fathers blood, he never got to see many people together. He was approached by a good man and asked him that if he was interested in the tournament called 'Struggle', he was told the rules and due to it being a friendly game and a good test of skills, he figured it would be best to try it out. He signed up and was given three choices to choose from and he took one that looked similar to his weapon, it was soft but strong of hit hard enough and with a hand guard he can defend better and he felt this would fit his style the best. He approached the people waiting in line and saw two he never saw before and approached them, "Hello, lets have a good match if we face each other later." He bowed his head in respect of his fellow competitors. He bowed to a blond woman and a dark haired man it seemed.

Krystian looked over to the obscure boy named Kayligai in the middle of his conversation with Stella and waved to him in a welcoming manner,
"Hey! You too, man!" He paused a moment to reach out and touch the boy's shoulder. "Hold up a second, are you new around here too? Why don't you come over here and talk with us? What's your name?"

~Stella Nova~ So far the male she spoke to seem to have the same kind of energy she does about being here for the Struggle tournament, and she was right to assume that he was from another world when he confirmed that he was. Now all that was left was to get the kid's name before the tournament started, since she doesn't know when she will have the opportunity to speak to a foreigner like him. Now, when the male said that she stood out like he did, normally she take offense if someone from Twilight Town said that before this tournament. Hopefully after this tournament she can make a statement like that not derogatory towards her, but Krystian was a complete exception since he never met her before, so she couldn't find offense in standing out from the rest of the crowd.
"You think my name is cool? Well, it is pretty neat, but you can't really say something like that if you don't tell me yours. Oh I don't think it's bad to stand out unless you are the black sheep of the family or you did something to make people go against you. After today, everyone in Twilight Town will come to give me some better credit, which they will since I will be their champion. Now...are you always this nervous around people or am I just making you this way?"
Stella had this grin on her face that showed confidence in not just her skills, but in her looks, especially as her hand flipped the back of her precious gold locks. Another male decided to join in the conversation, another foreigner it seems to be. Twilight Town definitely has it's way of attracting people from other worlds with their events, especially the Struggle tournament. Now this guy spoke to them in a more formal manner, which made Stella want to do the same, yet at the same time she really wanted to make sure that this guy can take a chill pill and not be so formal. For better or for worse, she went with making the guy take a chill pill in the nicest way possible.
"Hey hey hey. No need for bowing there. We're not the king or queen so you don't have treat like so. The name's Stella. Perhaps all of us can really get to know each other more once I win this tournament with some sea salt ice cream. Have either of you ever had sea salt ice cream? I swear its one of the best thing ever made in the ice cream universe. Anyways, I still wish you two the best of luck."

Krystian gasped in realization of his rudeness of not telling anyone his name. He quickly bowed in a casual manner unlike the other boy who introduced himself and smiled to quickly add into the conversation:
"Oh, woops! Sorry, I keep forgetting to introduce myself... I'm Krystian. You can just call me Krys if you guys want... Ehehh.." He started to get nervous all over again, growing embarrassed not only from his insolence but also from Stella's question. "It's not that you make me nervous, but I just... I have a teensy problem with social awkwardness." The boy waved his hand dismissively in front of his face. "Nothin' major, I just grew up all quiet and stuff, y'know? I'm working on it." Krys laughed cheerily, but it was more nervous than anything.
"Different subject, guys- I'm sweating up a storm here!" He looked to Kayligai with a sweet grin. "Where are you from, stranger?"

Kayligai Nura Kayligai heard the two and them introduced themselves as Stella and Krystian but nickname as Krys. He like the idea of having ice-cream and he wanted to introduce himself and he lifted his head out of Stella's suggestion, "My name is Kayligai Nura, I been traveling around to understand my skills and just came into town recently. I saw the Tournament and signed up to see how my training went. But yeah, I wouldn't mind having some of that ice-cream, never heard of it though." When he was asked where he was from, Kayligai was a little hesitant due to being in a different world and figured something out easily, "I am from somewhere far away from here, that is all I would say about it if that is alright with you two." He doesn't know how people would react if he said he was from another world, but they may take it well, or may take it as a joke and rub it off, either way he hopes they take it as no offense.

~Stella Nova~ Stella still surprises herself on how just the right words and her astonishing looks can make a boy sweat. She probably shouldn't do this but it was all in good fun and typically she tries not to push it too far since she didn't want anyone to feel any discomfort around her. Now she knows the names of both of the males: the nervous one Krystian who she can call Krys, and the formal one Kayligai. What a strange coincidence that both of them have a K as the first letter of their names, but it is just a coincidence after all. What really felt strange is that Kayligai didn't want to reveal his home world to the two of them, just the fact that it's far away from Twilight Town. It made her come up with an idea that he can hopefully agree on since her curiosity is now getting the better of her. First she addressed Krystian by smacking him in the back with the palm of her hand, which was just meant to loosen him up but she forgets thats shes stronger than most woman to the point that her strength surprises males.
"Take a breather there hot shot. I'm only messing with you. Social awkwardness ain't nothing to be ashamed of. Its just one of those things you got to slowly get rid of one day at a time by just talking. Just asking a question is good way to go."
Next she addressed Kayligai with what she believed to be a foolproof plan to get him to tell her more about his home world.
"Well then, how about we have bet their kind sir? If were to face each other in a match, you'll treat me to sea salt ice cream and a conversation. If I lose, then the ice cream will be my treat and then you can have a conversation with me. Does that sound fair?"

Kayligai Nura Kayligai saw Stella smack Krys at the back of his head, reason may be to be good due to it reminds him of his friends back home. When she gave him a bet for a idea, it gave him a idea of his own for it to test his strength, "Alright, I will take up that bet. But in exchange for that, I will use my full abilities in the fight so we can have our abilities tested. Is that alright Stella? or I should call you by the way you are blunt about asking, Solar fighter." He talked to her respectfully, and the way she gave off reminds him of the sun and how bright it wanted to shine, so he wanted to give her a chance for a fight and a chance to see how he can control his own bloodlines power.

Krystian yelped more out of surprise than pain when Stella hit him in the back of the head, stepping forward a bit as his head bobbed forward a little. He pouted slightly at Stella with eyes that read in a ridiculously helpless way: "what was that for?". "Still workin' on it, boss..."
He watched the two, Kayligai and Stella, as they made their bets and couldn't help but grin at the innocent competitiveness between them. Kinda reminds me of my brother and me back home...
"So, uh..." Krystian scooted closer to the two with a small, coy grin. "Am I gonna take part in this little ice cream party too?"

~Stella Nova~ Oh how Stella wanted to show off all of her abilities, but tournament rules would not allow that. She didn't want to disappoint Kayligai and she would love to fight him with everything she got, so perhaps she can give him a shot at giving it his all, but for another time and another place. However, she appreciated him calling her Solar Fighter. It had a nice ring to it; something that she could get used to hearing. Who knows, maybe that can be a title she can be known for if she ever reaches that level of fame where everyone in the universe will know her.
"You gotta cool your jets there Kayligai. As much as I like to show you everything I got, I wouldn't exactly be able to do that in this tournament. The thing is, I know a few magic tricks and they're against the rules. However, I am curious as to what you can do, so I'll promise you a full fight at some point when we're not bound by the rules of this tournament. Still, I will make sure to fight you the best I can within the boundaries of the tournament, if we fight each other that is."
Krystian's yelp made Stella realize that she put a bit too much strength in that slap in the back. It was only a gesture for him to calm his nerves and that he can talk easily around her, but that probably backfired a little...or maybe not. This guy wanted to be a part of the "ice cream party" as he refers it. The slap in the back must have been helpful after all! With that confident grin on her face, she replied:
"You're more than welcome to join in if you want, so that means if you lose, you have to pay for the ice cream plus something extra. Wait...so with three of us, this is how it works: The first of us to lose will pay for the ice cream and do one thing the winner wants, while the guy who gets silver medal only has to do one thing the winner wants. Does that sound fair?"

Kayligai Nura Kayligai nodded in understanding in Stella's reasons for holding back due to the rules and he also liked the idea of a third placer pays for the ice-cream, "Alright Stella, that is understandable. Also Krys, lets hope we face each other in the matches later too. I want to be the one to face you guys due to how you guys look, I can see you two as great fighters." He talked to them with great respect due to how both of them looked, Stella with her charm can also strike as hard as her speed he can tell as well as Krys. He then looked at the distance to seeing his 'friend' watching everything without anyone noticing so he had to ask, "So, would a change in physical form be considered as magic by any chance?" He asked due to how his blood gets in a fight from his fathers side of the family......his rather large, not related to his dad a lot of them and yet fun to be around family.

Well CRAP, Krystian thought. These guys look awfully strong... I should probably... just... Krys pouted a little at the thought of fighting against Stella and Kayligai, knowing he prooooobably didn't stand a chance. He sighed and nodded to the duo, smiling nonetheless. Ah, who cares if I win or lose. I get to train on it anyway! Plus, there's ice cream involved. Who doesn't like ice cream?
Krystian smiled even wider from the thought of a frozen treat and spoke aloud,
"Know what? That sounds like a killer idea! I'm ready!" the boy began to fidget excitedly at the sudden adrenaline he gained from thinking of the heat of battle. Even though he wasn't the best fighter out of all three, he surely had SOME skill in there! Those years of training didn't just do him nothing after all, and besides- Krystian was certain that he could at least make it to the top three... well, he hoped, anyway.
