NENGO 327年11月20日 7:15 AM - 41 Days Until Culmination
Soon after the party wakes up, Xaklafor calls them to the competition area.
Xaklafor: "Alright, guys. Are you ready for this?"
THRAX: "Sure. Why not?"
Xaklafor: "Oh, yeah. Don't you sound stoked? Ok. Who will be competing with you?"
THRAX: "My friends Axem and Trithal. The three of us have been through a great deal together, and I think they are the best candidates for this competition."
Xaklafor: "Good. The rest of you go sit down over there with the other spectators. You three, follow me."
The remaining party members go to the competition area and find a place to sit. Xaklafor escorts the three competitors to some sort of backstage like area where they are prepped for the trials. After everyone was suited up and ready, some strange fanfare began to play in the arena. Xaklafor escorts the trio to the entrance to the arena, and instructs the party to wait there until they are called.
Xaklafor: "Here's where I leave you. Good luck to you all!"
Just then, some Myrmidon dude with a microphone walks out to the middle of the arena and says to the crowd, "Are you ready for some entertainment??"
The crowd cheers in response.
Announcer: "Welcome to the Neglaford Arena, home of the Dragon Trials! I'm your host, Mhykoumahlae. Let's introduce today's contestants!"
The camera points to the side of the arena to the entrance of the room the party is waiting in. TRITHAL walks out and stands by the entrance.
"In the Roaring Blue, from Laurenstown in Morgura Prefecture.... TRITHAL 'THE SENSAI' TSUTARU!!"
TRITHAL runs out to the middle of the arena floor. The crowd cheers mildly.
Mhyk: "In the Flaming Red.... usually found hanging around Ragnarok Island in Sabretooth Prefecture.... .THRAX 'THE HELL FIRE....'" (to M'oh): "Does he have a last name?"
M'oh: "I don't know... he left that part blank on the application."
Mhyk: "Ok then, THRAX 'THE HELL-FIRE' __________!!!"
THRAX runs out to the middle of the arena floor & stands next to TRITHAL. Jeers can be heard from the spectators.
Spectator: "You suck, you halfling!!"
Spectator: "Go back home to Sabretooth!!"
Mhyk: "And in the Mighty Green... hailing from an undisclosed location near the jurisdiction of the Mount Sabretooth Phi Considine.... AXEM 'The Gigolo' THORPATRICK!!!"
Strangely, some female draconians can be heard cheering for him. TRITHAL, THRAX and the rest of the party in the stands wonder why.... then soon realize they're thinking about AXEM.
Mhyk: "Our three competitors will compete against each other while going through some tough physical challenges. (to M'oh): Hey M'oh! What is our event line-up today?"
M'oh (in English accent): "First up today we have the Draconian obstacle course, then we have the Elemental trials, then we round it all up at the end with the perilous climb up Mount Death."
Mhyk: "Thank you, M'oh. While our players are getting prepped and ready for our first event, let's hear a little about our players. So Trithal, 'Speak your peace'!"
(recorded video)
TRITHAL (on recording): "Uhh..... I'm Trithal the Divine Wind, and I think this whole thing is both gay and stupid."
TRITHAL does signature triple-fuck-you hand gesture, then walks off camera.
(end recorded sequence)
Mhyk: "Okay, thank you Trithal! That was very informative. I think we all got to know you a little better now!"
TRITHAL: "Whatever!"
Mhyk: "It looks like everything is ready for our first event. Let's go to M'oh for the rules."
M'oh: "Players will start at the sound of my whistle. They must navigate our obstacle course and reach the end within 60 seconds to avoid being incinerated in the fire pit below. While competing in this event they will not be allowed to use their elemental powers. The player with the best time wins."
Mhyk: "Looks like our first player, Trithal, is ready to go."
M'oh: "On your mark... get set..."
(whistle blows)
Mhyk: "Okay, Trithal wastes no time getting up and over the wall. Now to the rope swing. Woah! He must've had a burrito for breakfast because he just let out the nastiest fart ever! The force of the volcano flatuence propels him easily to the opposite platform. Okay, he's sliding down the fire pole to the elastic jungle. He has no trouble navigating through to the cargo net wall. He's made it to the top. And he's done!"
M'oh: "Trithal completed the course in 34.6 seconds, which includes a 2-second penalty for using a knock-off of his own abilities with the nasty fart."
Mhyk: "That's gotta be a new record! Okay, next up is Thrax!"
M'oh: "On your mark... get set..."
(whistle blows)
Mhyk: "Thrax is off to a good start tackling the wall. Ah shit! Call the fire department! Thrax has accidentally set fire to the wall!"
(the cameras all stop filming and the network goes to commercial)

Mhyk: "We apologize for that. Now, let's try this again."
M'oh: "On your mark... get set..."
(whistle blows)
Mhyk: "Okay, Thrax is over the wall, and he didn't burn this one to the ground!"
THRAX: "How many times must I apologize? I'm sorry, okay?"
Mhyk: "Shut up and swing! So Thrax swings across to the platform and slides down the fire pole. He dives straight into a rail next to the elastic jungle. That looked like that hurt! Okay! He's in the elastic jungle. It appears that he is having some difficulty getting through. Times running out! He's out of the elastic jungle and making his way up the cargo net wall. His foot's caught in the ropes!"
(Loud Buzzer)
Mhyk: "Oh! Time's Up! The cargo net wall evaporates and Thrax falls into the firepit!"
M'oh: "Is he taking a bath?"
Mhyk: "It appears so. I guess there's a reason why they call him 'Hell-Fire'. Oh well, who cares? You lose, Thrax!"
THRAX: "Would you mind? Can't you see It's my bath time?"
Mhyk: "Yeah... whatever"
Evil Ray: "Hey! That's my line!"
Mhyk: "It's not my fault! I only say what Jeremy is telling me to say!"
Evil Ray: "Whatever!"
Mhyk: "Okay, it looks like Axem is ready."
M'oh: "On your mark... get set..."
(whistle blows)
Mhyk: "Axem is over the wall in the blink of an eye and swings on the rope across. Slides on down the pole. Ouch! He landed on his ass! Ha-ha! Now he's all tangled up in the elastic jungle. Man he got himself stuck good! Okay he made it out . Now he's up the cargo net wall. And he's done!"
M'oh: "Mhyk, Axem finished the course in 53.9 seconds."
Mhyk: "Alright awesome! What are their scores?"
M'oh: "In first place is Trithal with 100 points; Axem's in second with 50 points; and Thrax didn't get any points so he's in last place."
Mhyk: "Okay... that wrapps up this half of the show. We need to re-arrange the set for our next event, so we'll take this quick break. Stick around!"
