Brain Dump: Ceelie
Wow, round 1 was exciting! This tournament thing is really pretty darn cool. Though, maybe it's just the super-extra front-row shoulder seat...Anyway, we also got really cool rooms for the night. Good old mister Champion of Tournaments showed everyone to their very own nifty rooms. Lily had a really cool computer lab with all electronics and gaming stuff, and Vivi had her very own atticy place, complete with dust and boxes and stuff. Li got a plain room with a never-ending supply of calligraphy...supplies...oh crap, I'm starting to talk like D-man. Uh oh. Uhm, I'll work on that! Oh yeah, D-man -- he had a really cool room with a bunch of movies and a cool TV and a fridge, and oh yeah, it had a shooting range too! And Tara had a beautiful forest, with a bed in it. Yeah, that was a little odd but it worked. Emero got a super shiny crystalline cave. They even had a little room just for me! I'm really not used to sleeping alone though...
After just a little while, I woke up again. I got a bit of a snack, and then noticed a little tunnel leaving my room. I started heading down it, and could hear a very familiar voice. I worked my way up the tunnel, around some corners, through a little crevice past a boulder, and into a different section of cave. It was turning more and more crystalline (surprise!) and I could hear E laughing and zapping and talking to himself. It's really adorable how excited he is about everything! And then I noticed all the etching on the walls. There were pieces cut out, and pictures carved in. It was mostly E doing awesome poses, but some of them were of me! Squee squee! I kept going up the tunnel, jumping from carving to carving. Lily passed on a few messages about some gadget to stop Dyode (I think she's got a grudge -- not that I blame her) and I told Vivi and D-man about them. Vivi's always awake, and D-man just happened to wake up for a little bit. He sounded kinda lonely. I guess he's not used to sleeping alone either. But he doesn't have to be alone when he can hear me!
So there I am doing all the super incredible poses, all down the corridor, and then BAM! Suddenly, I bump right into E! I must've turned all sorts of super pink-in-the-face, but he was really cool about it. He had this multi-faceted green crystal armor that he was cutting out of the walls. He even gave me a piece to keep for my own -- see, look! It's super-sparkly, especially with D-man's laser that everyone else says they can't see. We chatted for a while, really rather a while actually. Then I woke up when D-man knocked on my door. I guess we fell asleep in the little green corridor. Oopsie. We were closer to E's door, so we both went out that way, and ran to breakfast. I told D I'd meet him there.
When we got there, everyone had their own breakfast laid out. Vivi had this weird cardboard box that she kept saying was really tasty. They had some spicy tofu thing for Li, and a bunch of funny French stuff for D. They didn't have anything for me, so I just ate his. I was sitting on CoT's shoulder when he poofed over to the losers' room to check in on their breakfast, and I got to say hi to Lily and folks, and steal a muffin over there too. Then he poofed back again. After everyone was finished eating, CoT made the Grand Announcement that we were ready to begin Round 2!
So we all get up to the colliseum proper, and everyone takes seats and stuff, and CoT announces the beginning of Round 2, and then POOF! All the contestants are zapped into their arenas! It was totally awesome, I was cheering for everyone! First, E squeaks out "Coool! Who am I fighting?" and D-man pokes his head around one of the pipes, and E's like "Oooh, good luck D-man!" and then Li bows 'cause he's all stuffy, and Dyode is like "Ok, dyodes, do it!" Mme Rough nods and the stone pillar she's standing on shoots up into the air, and Dyode goes "Seek and destroy, little guys. Alright, let's do this!" and D-man takes this stupid dive flat onto his belly and slides into a pipe like an idiot. Ouch. And then he shoots -- blam, blam! -- and one hits E, and then Mme throws the rock at Li and bashes him with it, and E dodges the second shot with this incredible folding move, and the dyode flies past Vivi. Vivi rakes the dyode with her claws, Li launches up into the air with a frenzied beating of wings, and E zots his funny lightning zappy stuff at D. Dodge, and dodge!
Dyode starts talking to his stupid toys again, and one of them shoots Vivi. Mme jumps on Li and kicks him while E climbs up a pipe, and D-man gets back on his feet. So D shoots E again (Ouch!) and Li backhands Mme off his back. D takes this crazy ricochet shot at E that bounces off like three pipes and the floor, but E totally sees it coming and twists out of the way. Vivi charges straight for Dyode, but he dodoges. "Whoa! Claws!" E goes all freaky POP and bounces all over the place, hitting D-man in this brilliant flash.
Mme grabs Li's foot and Dyode pulls his gun. D-man does this super-D-jump around a pipe like the one where he swings through bars in the tenth-story scaffold gunfight scene in "Construction by Day, Demolition by Night" and sends another bullet tearing through poor E. Mme drops onto a pillar and Li divebombs towards her. Dyode takes a shot at Vivi with his gun, but misses, and she rakes him across the face and takes a bite out of his soul. Li bellyflops onto the rock in front of Mme just as CoT is looking at D&E's fight and saying "Wow, this is getting close, kids!" D takes another amazing trick shot and E faceplants. "And the winner is...Diiman!"
Dyode starts whining, all "Ow, geez!" and glowing in blue. Mme is like "ooookay...when in Rome, I guess..." and tries this cool standing drop-kick move, but Li barely rolls out of the way, and the droids totally shoot at Vivi and miss. Li jumps up into a palm strike and Vivi chomps Dyodes soul again, knocking him down. Mme smoothly dodges Li's strike, and the droids try to shoot, but they get frozen mid-blast. Respect the rules, man! When you're down, you're down, and boy are you down! "And the winner is...Viveka!"
So, Mme tries to jump kick Li, but goes flying past him and into the water. Splashdown! Li of course takes a pause, and reaches down to help her out of the water. She takes his hand, reels in to headbutt him, but he tips his head aside and she misses. "Huh. Way trickier than I thought." Nose to nose with Mme, Li stands and blinks, wings twitching. "You're ready to continue then?" Mme shrugs. "Sure, why not?" Li whips into an awesome spinkick, and finishes up blushing.
Mme sighs. "This is getting us nowhere." The next pillar over from them rises up. She jumps over, cracks off a piece with her elbow, and gets serious. "Okay, let's do this." I sneak over to D-man and beg him for an awesome laser, and he pulls the IR sight off his big gun. Li centers into a peaceful meditation for a brief moment. It's almost like someone hit pause just for a second, and most of his wounds closed. Then, suddenly, the moment ends, and Mme knocks a pillar towards him. This is when I hop off CoT's shoulder and head downstairs. The pillar comes crashing down on top of Li, and he flies up out of the rubble, striking Mme squarely. She swings another pillar, but Li escapes! He tries to grab her, but she eludes! Mme swings the pillar again, to no avail. Li comments in Chinese on her skill and beauty, punching her again. She narrowly avoids being hit, and drops into a sweep attack. She thunks uselessly against his leg. "You're a lot heavier than you look."
Li blinks. "Oh. Uhm. You're quite beautiful." Punch. I sneak around the loser area downstairs, until I find E's door. Li punches Mme, and she takes it square in the shoulder. "What? Ow. Geez!" Nudging the door open just a teensy bit, I aim and FIRE the IR laser straight at E, shattering brilliant dancing bits of laseradiation everywhere. Mme swings at Li and misses. "Shouldn't you be keeping your eye on the prize?" I can't help giggling when E notices all the sparklies he's making. Li keeps yapping and punching Mme. She's like "There's a first time for everything, I guess. Are you new here or something?" Li starts talking about the monastery, and hits her again. She totally stopped doging once he busted out the sweet-talk. He should've done that sooner. "This explains a lot." Mme swings and misses, again. See, she started missing more too when he became such a flirt. Me and E start running circles around the little bed in his little room, stealing the laser from each other and playing crazy laser tag and making zapping noises.
Mme attacks Li, and he flows out of the way. "If I'm not being too forward..." Li throws another punch, connecting with her jaw. "Perhaps we could speak after this fight?" Mme grunts. "Ow. Maybe." E swings the laser around, and I dive under the bed before he can peg me with it. I'm just coming out the other side of the bed and tackling E's feet when Mme says "Alright, deperate times..." She leaps back to another pillar, and pauses like she's waiting for something. Li takes this deep breath, and blows flames all over her! I wince, and E looks at me, and I'm like "Man, that fire breath has to hurt." Mme falls over, and Li leaps to her side to make sure she's okay. "And the winner is...Tao...Jin...LI!"
