ROUND ONE
It was a pristine, if unnerving, scene. What surely must have once been a bustling metropolis was now a dead monument to a time immemorial, without so much as a soul inside of it. Humongous stone structures rose to the sky as if trying to escape the shackles of the ground below. Many of the buildings were crumbling due to their ancient nature, and vines were growing all along the sides of them. The streets were mostly bare with nothing except the occasional abandoned car or overturned bus in the middle of the street. Bordering this city on all sides was a seemingly endless tropical jungle, containing trees that rivaled the height of the buildings. It seemed as though the jungle was beginning to encroach on the city, with tropical plants beginning to take roots throughout the city. Nothing but a calm wind could be heard throughout the city, and one could only wonder what could possibly ruin this silence.
This silence was broken by sound of a sharp object finding itself stuck in the ground. A sword of unknown origin had found itself in the middle of this desolate wasteland, appearing from seemingly nowhere. A few moments later, it was followed by the sudden appearance of someone cloaking themselves with an oversize white cape, seemingly warping into the arena. The mysterious person pushed their cloak behind them, revealing a young girl with ridiculous blue hair. It was odd that she was here, as she couldn't be any older than a middle school student. Her outfit consisted of a diagonally cut skirt, fashionable cape, and shoulderless top. She sighed as she took her sword out of the ground and looked around, trying to look for any other warriors. This time, Sayaka would be sure to win. She would cut down any of the evil foes she found, so she could become a true hero of justice, just like the person who taught her everything, Mami.

Surrounded by so much junk, it was no surprise that Graham was already there.
"They say if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Lazily seated upon the rusted remains of what was once a car, the blonde in a jumpsuit said to no one in particular. "So can you tell me why this place isn't fixed? It certainly wasn't broke at the time, was it? Who is it that determines what's broken and what's not~?" The musing rambled onwards as Graham jumped from the pile of twisted rusty steel. "So if it was fixed, then why did someone break it? What does it aaaaaaaaaaalll mean?!" Oh boy. Getting wound up again. Graham clutched his head, hands covering his face as he seemingly flailed about. His wrench dropped to the pavement with a dull clatter, the echo of the noise the only thing to hear save for the whispers oft he wind.
"Sounds like the start of a sad, saaad story..." Fingers parted to show a single eye, of azure blue as he looked to the distance. See, Was it a friend or foe was not the question he would ask in his mind. The first thing to come to mind was 'Do I break it?'. And chances are, the answer will always be yes. "About a world that was fixed and no one bothering to fix it. So care to tell me why this supposedly okay and fixed world is breaking down? Do we fix it?! Well I gotta fix something, right?! RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" Arms spread out as if to roar to the heavens, he stomped onto his wrench, sending it flying up to the sky, a dozen feet or s before he reached up into the air well before it would land...yet caught it with his open hands.
"I know, I know I know! How about we...FIX everything! Even if it doesn't need fixing! Let's fix the fixed. Fix the Fixers, even! FIX EVERYTHIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" He screamed once again, his raving lunacy almost a beacon that was sure to attract his foes. "And you...will you break if I fix you?" He asked to his opponent, wrench aimed towards them. His ranting concluded, Graham readied himself for battle: that much was obvious even if he simply slouched forward while he pointed his wrench at the other. "Or will you write a sad story with me...about fixing of course, in both senses of the word."

Walking amidst the greening former utopia of modern life at a temperate pace, Dudley is wary for both his alleged new opponents and allies, and any other sort of surprise this haven for guerrilla warfare might have for him. Wearing a pair of green dinner suit trousers with matching green suspenders and cummerbund, along with a white frilled dress shirt under it with a black bow tie, he walks with his trademark blue boxing gloves around his hands. He has made it a personal goal for himself that, whether in victory or in defeat, he will end the day with a good conscience. He will refuse to fight dirty, regardless of whether his opponent chooses to or not.
He would be moving at his own smooth pace, until he spots in the distance a sword, stuck into the ground. "Curious", Dudley comments. He carefully advances forward. Whatever this may be, it must have originated from one of his allies... or opponents. He decides to go on to investigate the blade further, but the very thought is interrupted by Miki Sayaka warping into the arena. He goes to introduce himself. "Greetings, young woman. My name Dudley, and I am a participant in this bout. I hope that I may call you friend, instead of foe?"

There was a distinctive clanking of metal heard by all of those gathered as Gamagori Ira rounded the corner. He knew that the field trip idea was a bad one, he'd even advised Lady Satsuki against it, but to no avail. Most of Asia was a war zone nowadays, and it wasn't safe. But, on the bright side, the students could learn a good lesson in survival. That is, if he could find them...he didn't want any overly adventurous students wandering off. But...hm. There were some others here, he thought as he noticed a young girl and a man of indeterminable age. They weren't dressed as students, although he supposed the man could be in the Automobile Club. But the girl...she was much more concerning. She could be no older than 14 or so, and she was carrying a sword. Hm. Gamagori had been seeing too many young girls with swords as of late. He wondered if her outfit was similar to the clothes of Matoi...suddenly, he noticed another person walk up. He was tall, incredibly muscular, and dressed like a gentleman. The mustache was a bit much, though. Either way, he looked like a respectable man. Gamagori started to quickly walk towards the young girl and the presumed boxer. "Hello? Young woman, are you a part of the Honnoji student body?"

Sayaka had been busy listening to the crazy ravings of the mechanic, feeling anger well up inside her. Nothing he said seemed to make any sense, and he seemed to be tarnishing the sanctity of this holy battle. Sayaka was preparing a retort against him, but someone had approached her first. The young girl was taken aback by the dandy boxer's sudden kindness. She was expecting some truly disrespectful opponents, and faced with someone who was so gentlemanly, she didn't know how to respond at first. "O-oh, haha, I mean...you can call me a friend, I guess. The name's Sayaka, nicetomeetcha." She smiled and chuckled a bit, trying to appear friendly to Dudley. She supposed that any allies she could amass would be helpful to her later on.
However, she her smile quickly faded away when she was approached by the largest man she had ever seen in her life. A huge, hulking mass of a person, seven feet...no, ten feet...no, twenty feet...Sayaka couldn't even really tell how tall he was from where she was standing. It was as though he had just taken over all of the space around this area. Sayaka was initially unnerved, but she quickly remembered that she was a mahou shoujo, someone blessed with truly special powers. Even someone as large as him couldn't do anything to her! "Sorry man, I've never heard of a "Honnoji" before. Not that it sounds like that great of a place, anyways."

Taking what the large man had said into account, along with the strange ramblings of the blonde boy with the wrench, he responds to the large man. "I'm afraid I cannot help you in that regard, either. However, the young man over there pointing that repair tool at us may be a truant of some sort", as he glances over to senile youngster.

The scenery was morbidly serene, with almost no disrupting sounds through the ruins. Though, whip cracks began to sound as Annie Leonhardt began to turn the corner with her 3-Dimensional Maneuver Gear. With each crack of her tether cables, concrete from the ruined office buildings and apartments crumbled off in small pieces and fell to the Earth below it. The young Soldier girl scoured the map for her proper destination, hoping whatever "Allies" she had would be there already.
Passing around another corner, Annie could spy four moving dots on the streets below. She was too high up to make out any sort of description of their appearance, but the only thing she could do was trust the situation. Annie began to descend to their position, swinging lower and lower with every cable swing. The white hood of her jacket billowed in the strong winds as Annie hit the ground and began to skid to a halt only a few feet away from the inhabitants of the city streets. When she came to a complete halt, she turned to face them. Three men and a girl. ...Two of them quite large, one being almost titan sized. But he was wearing clothes. Once she was done inspecting them, the Hooded Soldier approached.
"...Names. Give them quickly." The command was given from her mouth, sounding blunt and with complete seriousness.

Sayaka was surprised by the sudden arrival of this new soldier. Just how many people were going to come here? And this one was a little unsettling...and very straight to the point no less. Still, it would go against Sayaka's nature to not greet someone when spoken to. "H-hey, there. The name's Sayaka, Sayaka Miki. It's nice to...make your...acquaintance." Sayaka trailed off at the end, not sure where this was all going, whether this new soldier would be friend or foe. She would need to be prepared for both options.

Alright, what he knew was that the new woman definitely wasn't a student. No student of Honnoji Academy would dare speak to him like that. Still, he didn't like any kid speaking to him like that. He turned towards the blonde woman and, after straightening out his uniform, knelt down before her. Although he was kneeling, he still managed to tower over her, and he glared down at her menacingly as he shouted: "MY NAME IS GAMAGORI IRA! CHAIR OF HONNOJI ACADEMY'S DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE! NOW, TELL ME, WHAT IS YOUR NAME AND WHAT SCHOOL DO YOU ATTEND?!"

As Dudley had a mind to respond to the newest entry, his train of thought becomes sullied by the towering obelisk of a man harassing the young woman before him. Perhaps... Yes, this must be one of his new opponents, and how grateful Dudley is to him for show himself instead of attacking them from behind, as a brute would. Regardless, he still seems as animalistic as any impoverished fool, speaking to others in such a fashion, so Dudley decides to address the issue so, and hopefully receive a response that would not present itself as an attempt to disconcert him. He has not been intimidated by an opponent, and by God, he will not make an exception in this particular case!
"Pardon me, sir," Dudley would raise a gloved fist in the air to obtain the giant's attention. "I do believe this young woman does not require the discipline that you may offer. Besides, to speak in such a manner that you do is very ungentlemanly, if I do say so myself."

Annie stared at the small, blue child with her large pool of a cape. Miki Sayaka was apparently her name. Halfway through her introduction, Annie zoned her voice out. Instead, she focused on Sayaka's sword. It was strange to see such a young girl holding that kind of sword. Or any kind of sword, really. "...I shouldn't be one to judge." Annie thought to herself, looking at her own Maneuver Gear's blades. Though, it was also a strange outfit to see on Sayaka. Who wears capes? So impractical. They would easily be caught on a roof or grabbed by a titan. This Sayaka girl would be toast in Annie's world. "...Yeah. Nice to meet you."
There was another person though, the Giant Man. He introduced himself as Ira Gamagori, with some title that she frankly could care less about. Once again, she zoned out his introduction to focus on his appearance instead. A strange man with a strange uniform. Gamagori rubbed Annie the wrong way, in truth. She didn't like his loud voice, his uniform, and most of all, his eyebrows. ...They looked like lightning bolts. How odd. His clothes were also very strange to her. Who the hell needs that many spikes on their clothes?
As she began to put the words out, Annie's thoughts were interrupted by another entry in the party's intro. ... A tall man with blue mitts on his hands. He had strange hair that seemed to curl on his forehead. He seemed.. pretty gentlemanly and honorable. A little foolish, though. Especially when he assumed Annie could not take the "discipline" that Gamagori seemed to love to dish out. However, when the boxer man was done speaking, Annie sighed and started back up on her follow-up comments.
"...My name is Annie Leonhardt. I don't do school. I'm a soldier, as you can plainly see by the uniform I wear. I am a member of the Military Police. I don't know why I'm here or what we're going to do, but I won't be swallowed up by it. Don't try anything stupid on me and we'll get along well. If there are any questions, now is the time to ask them."

Gamagori grunted. "Stay there. I shall deal with you in a minute." He stood up and turned around, glaring down angrily at Dudley. "I take pride in my ability to discipline those who need it. And I do not need a showy boxer telling me who I discipline and don't discipline. If you have some sort of problem, then please, take a jab at me." While he was saying this, he kept a constant eye on Sayaka and the other boy. He didn't know how powerful they were, or even if they knew what was going on, but he did not want to underestimate their abilites.

Well, that was interesting. He had given him a free invitation to strike him first. But, he was not looking, so it wouldn't be a proper start to this bout. Additionally, he was underestimating your strength, which in itself is unacceptable. "If you insist on allowing me to strike at you, then let us do this right. I wish for you to be looking at me directly when I do this, and I do hope you understand; let's fight, like gentlemen."

Hm. While he did not like the way the man interfered, Gamagori admired his honor. He turned to face the man, this time as an equal. "I accept your request. But if we are doing this right, then allow me to do it at the best of my abilities." With a respectful nod, a flash of colorful light would briefly blind all of those gathered. " THREE-STAR ULTIMA UNIFORM:SHACKLE REGALIA!"When they all regained their eyesight, they would see a frightening new... thing (full shot) standing before them. It resembled a grotesque mummy, with no arms and a variety of spikes poking out of it. It had one eye open and, perhaps strangest of all, a ball gag in it's mouth. "Come, sir. I, Gamagori Ira, will give you a quick and honorable defeat."

...What in the blazes- is that a ball gag? This had just taken an uncanny turn, and Dudley intent to inform him of so, after staring at him and his absurd outfit in shock. "What in the world is that thing you're wearing...? You intend to battle me in... a mummy costume?"
