Chapter 80: The Void Realm's Tournament Of Honor!

(Time goes by onto the next day, Onara and the Grayfall palace's guards placed the official rules to the entire Void Realm regarding Onara's tournament. Onara and Shibuto was now doing elemental combat which Shibuto was launching starry orbs of space at Onara which was counted by her void bombs.)
"Onara(Thinking): He has to remember to not lose his link with his element, so far so good no damage yet..."
(Onara's lances then merged into her javelin which she cartwheeled out of the barrage of space's orbs and launched herself into the air for a mid-air assault. Shibuto sees the opening and hesitates. After Onara came in closer with the attack, she sensed his muscles moving which made her back away while holding onto her javelin.)
"Shibuto(Thinking): She actually predicted my next move!"
"Onara(Aloud): You're becoming more and more compassionate with your element, its beginning to trust you more Shibuto!"
"Shibuto(Aloud): What does that mean?"
"Onara: It means that you'll soon master the space element entirely, we just have to continue getting rid of your flaws."
"Shibuto: Understood!"
"Onara(Thinking): Besides... After what Gaito told me, I've GOT to make you stronger... Otherwise, we'll all die within three years..."
-After the Gaito verses Helios fight-
(Gaito and Onara was talking after the fight with Helios as everyone was departing from the coliseum. Gaito had a serious expression on his face.)
"Gaito: Onara. Listen to me carefully, what I'm about to tell you is seriously urgent. I trust you to not tell anyone else until the time comes, got it?"
"Onara: I don't spill secrets. So go ahead, what's the issue?"
"Gaito: Within three years, I can guarantee almost all of the known fighters on Earth and across every living realm will die. In three years, there's a being by the name Knitemare. Understanding from what my future self told me, Knitemare has elemental immunity, immortality and over one hundred elements. He's already destroyed several different dimensions during the fights I've had recently."
"Onara: Did he tell you what he looked like?"
"Gaito: Unfortunately no, I don't know what he looks like... But I can sense power sources. If Knitemare was arriving into our orbit, I'd be able to sense it before he arrives."
(Onara then stood there and pondered about the situation.)

"Onara: So what can we do?"
"Gaito: As far as I'm concerned, no one else knows about Knitemare besides me, Choryrth, Goxius, Tayna and you. Onara, I need you to make sure Shibuto gets stronger. Strong enough to land even a scratch on Knitemare. I hate to say this but he actually equals me in power which makes things VERY difficult."
(Onara then was surprised a bit at the information and thought deeply about it.)
"Onara: .....I'll do it. In the meantime, I'll find a way to get stronger too. This Knitemare guy seems like a very deadly force."
"Gaito: He is. Goxius has been getting mentally weaker lately because of the dimensions being destroyed. Its scaring him that badly."
"Onara: Wow... Poor guy... Okay, send Shibuto to the Void Realm. I'll inform the guards to let him in once he makes it to the Grayfall Palace."
"Gaito: Thanks. I owe you."
(She nodded as they both walked off.)
-Now-
(Onara was remembering what Gaito said while Shibuto was calling her.)
"Shibuto: You okay Onara? Onara??"
"Onara: Huh? Oh- Sorry! Spaced out for a bit.."
"Shibuto: Want to take a break?"
"Onara: Actually... Yeah, I have to get the tournament's arena settled."
"Shibuto: So where is it going to be located?"
"Onara: Follow me."
(Shibuto and Onara walked outside the city of Grayfall which shows nothing but dark skies, a barely seeable road and pillars of void rocks. Onara then generated a small cube of void which she placed on the ground afar from them.)
"Activate domain!"
(The cube then generated more void energy from their surroundings and was growing fast. After reaching a certain height, the cube exploded and blinded Shibuto from the white light. A few seconds later, Shibuto then looked around to notice they are inside the domain with a familiar arena but had Shibuto surprised.)

"Shibuto: Wait... is this..?"
"Onara: Yup! This is the arena where the first ever Intercontinental Elemental Tournament took place. I wanted to fight here again sometime and what better time to use it then now?"
"Shibuto: Valid."
(Onara and Shibuto went inside and took a look. Shibuto ran around the whole arena all the way to the outside and sees the ring with the massive spectator seating.)
"Whoa...!!! Its massive!"
"Onara: Isn't it? When I first fought here Shibuto, it was a RUSH! It was a battle against victory and humiliation. Either you will become victorious or you will fall in defeat and humiliation for your team. That tournament was about teamwork and relying on our elemental prowess."
"Shibuto: So it was that crazy here, huh?"
"Onara: Yup! Who knows? You might fight in that tournament one day Shibuto."
"Shibuto: If I do, all I know is it's not gonna be easy for me..."
"Onara: It won't. But it'll be worth it if you get to have fun."
"Shibuto: You got a point there."
"Onara: Now, what should I call this tournament...?"
"Shibuto: What about a Tournament of Prowess?"
"Onara: Nah..."
"Shibuto: Void Games?"
"Onara: That's taken already."
"Shibuto: Seriously?! From what??"
"Onara: From something I can't talk about."
"Shibuto: Well what about..? Tournament Of..."
"Onara: Honor!"
"Shibuto: Huh?"
"Onara: Since the Voidions believes me as a traitor to them and wants me to fight for the truth, I will call this tournament.. The Void Realm's Tournament of Honor!"
(Shibuto clapped at the name and explanation.)

"Shibuto: I like it!"
"Onara: I'm glad you do, now all that's left is to find the competitors I'm going to fight against."
"Shibuto: Wait, fight against?"
"Onara: I might go up against like five or... ten competitors. Depending on how many signs up to challenge me."
"Shibuto: Oh... Yikes.."
"Onara: Eh, I handled bigger challenges, you know that!"
"Shibuto: You're right."
"Onara: Well for now Shibuto, we'll consider your elemental training complete. When this tournament ends, its straight back to business!"
"Shibuto: Understood Onara!"
"Onara: Good! Now, the tournament doesn't start until later on. Want to grab something to eat?"
"Shibuto: Depends on what you want."
"Onara: Ehh... I'm not picky with food. Food is food, just can't waste it."
