User blog:Leolab/User Siege Tourney, Round 11 of 91: Cfp (Tian/Christian) v MoA (Master)



Chirstian Kenway/Tian Sheng: The name-changing assissin-general

Attacking

Master: The unknown general from the East

Note: If MoA isn't active in normal wiki life by the end of this battle, he's getting booted from the tournament, and all other entrants will get auto-wins against him.

Second Note: These next two battles will determine the fate of the tournament. I've been getting very few votes, so the amount of votes I do get will determine if the tourney gets cancelled or not.

Prologue
The man known as Master stormed out of the dining hall. No one respected him. Not only did he only find out about the meetings by accident, but everyone had followed Lloyd's lead and had started calling him Billybob. He swore he would show them all, but all he had to show was a tie. Against the general considered one of the poorest of the lot. And they even liked him better.

"Oh, if it isn't the emo general," Austonio said, popping out of nowhere. He had no idea how Austonio did that, just that it was as disconcerting as the fact that he'd made a nest on his head for his cat. Out of his pants, no less. The man known as Master was trying very hard not to look down.

"What do you want?"

"Well, Billybob, I think Nicholas has an interest in you. He says that the bees might be coming from your room."

"Not the goddamn bees again," someone mutters. The man known as Master turned to see Yao and Kenway entering the dining room. Glaring at Kenway's back, he turns back to Austonio.

Then he gets up from the floor, head spinning.

"WHAT. THE. HELL??"

"Oh, you deserved a slap. It might just help you get over yourself. But maybe this will help," Austonio says, grabbing a potted plant and upending it over his fellow general.

''You're up. And stop embarrassing me.''

'''Great. Even my host hates me.''' Master thought, grumbling as he headed towards his fight. '''I have to win this one. '''
