Cid Raines had came to the Olympus Coliseum from the Pulse, he was the part of the preliminary, he was part of the team called Midnight Shade he was getting mentally and physically ready for this battle that he was getting himself into. He was wondering who his opponent was going to be for this battle. He just didn't know what he was going to do about this and he wasn't commanding a troop. He didn't use swords or any other weapon that someone knows, he uses marital arts for his choice of battle. He was curious of who he was going to fight against.

Of all things, he had done he just wondered if this fight was worthwhile and nothing what it seems. He just had dreams that didn't come true when he was human, then he had became a L'Cie, and that was that he had wanted to free the people from the fal'Cie on Pulse, but now he just had to get his head in this battle that would happen sooner or later when his opponent gets here. Cid was just standing there ready to face on the opponent, he was stoic and calm. He was nicer and he didn't show his emotions on the surface doesn't mean that he wasn't a good guy it was just hard for him to express them freely. He was still wearing his military outfit, that he had been wearing since he could remember.

He had patience for this opponent to show up. He didn't show anyone if he was angry or happy since he literally didn't wanted to show anyone that can work against him at the moment. I wonder if I could survive this preliminary round. Though I would give it my all to battle this opponent whoever it might be. Cid thought. He just been through the storm and back again, he had casually waited while he just wanted to know who he was going to battle against. Cid had helped out whoever he can the best that he could for all he needed to survive, though he didn't know what was going to happen in this battle for it could go either way.

I wonder who this person would be and also if the person would give me a great battle one that I wouldn't regret the most. Of course, I would have to give it everything I had learn in my childhood days. I just waiting here patiently and wondered how I had came back alive. Cid thought.

Nier emerged to the dull roar of the crowd. In a way, the idea of this sort of tournament felt sick. Battle was not a thing to be honored. It was a means to an end, and an unpleasant one at that. That someone would organize a sport around it, complete with prizes, was somewhat off-putting in its own right. But it was this audience that really brought the whole thing down. People willingly watched this sort of thing? One or two depraved interests he could understand, but there must have be hundreds lining the rows. His hair swayed as he gave one section a sidelong glance. A few years ago he would have had stronger opinions on this. Maybe even a few choice words for the crowd. But here, with the exception of these scant few thoughts, he found that he just didn’t care all that much. What room was there for indignity, when so much hate already filled his being.

His gaze turned now to his opponent, who already stood at the ready. An impeccably dressed man, seeming almost out of place in this battleground. Surely this was a realm of brutes and savages. What place did this unmarred figure have in it? Nier reached up and over his shoulder, gripping Beastlord’s hilt and freeing the overly large blade from the hooks upon his back. A metallic clank was all that announced the sword’s freedom, and in one deliberate motion he swept its great girth to the front. He assumed no stance, instead just standing at neutral for the moment. So far as he could tell, this was his best bet at gathering information. He had come to realize that this world attracted a lot of the more daredevil travelers, and this tournament was unlikely to prove an exception. He would fight through the ranks with his hastily formed team, and any opposition that survived defeat would be put to question. Five years makes a man desperate. He was growing tired of this search.

A great din signaled the start of combat. The pale swordsman whipped his free arm forward in a swift motion, sending two shots of Dark Blast ahead of him. It was the weakest Verse in his arsenal, but also his quickest. With any luck the dual projectiles would catch this man off-guard as he charged in after, momentarily dragging his sword’s tip across the dirt before swinging it in a wide arc. Beastlord hungered.

Summary - Nier fired two Dark Blasts hoping to distract Cid, and then charged in for a direct sword attack.

Dark Blast - One post cooldown

Cid didn't get distracted by the attack, and had transformed into his Cie'th-Human Hybrid form. He was ready for any attack that this person would throw at him and he wouldn't get distracted by the weakest of the attacks. He would getting ready for the battle that would happen after all was said and done and he fights his battles unarmed though that's how he had liked it most of all. He was thinking of how to make deal of this battle and put the ability that he needs to attack this person with.

He was just analyzing the situation while he was thinking of how this would go. He was thanking of the shift that he was going to do in this battle. He just figured out a spell that this situation calls for, but he had to think about it carefully, he didn't want to rushed into something that he couldn't pull out of later. Of course this had to mean that he had to go through this carefully but enough to win this battle even if it means not holding back either. He knew the right ability for this battle even if it was one on one he wouldn't even hold back one inch to win the fight.

Of all things he had to do he had to keep away from his attacks while he attacks back. He had thought out a battle strategy and decided to go with it. Of course this was different from the battles he had fought in the last time but it didn't matter since he would fight against the opponent whoever the person was. Of course this means that he had to fight with everything he got without backing down. He knew that the abilities in his shift would be powerful but it didn't matter since he was in a fight against someone who was his opponent for this battle.

"Ruinga." Cid said. Cid had used his Ruinga and aimed it at the person who had used Dark Blast against him. Cid was getting his mind and his game on in this battle. He was going to fight this seriously without making it seem that he didn't want a good battle. The heat of the battle was one of the things that he makes decisions. He was fighting this battle by himself which seem to be a great chance to test out his abilities once again.
