This is the Battle of the Brave, the Brawl of the Best, the Clash of the Titans. This is the Tournament of Marvels.
The tournament is considered by many to be the superhero equivalent of the Olympics; the ultimate test of power, skill and talent for anyone willing to compete. Anyone is free to enter, but very few make it past the preliminaries. Even fewer, who make up the best of the best, can go even further.
Hosted in Latveria, hundreds, if not thousands of people had come to the newly-created pop-up arena, the Closed Circle, to witness a clash of power between two titans. Today, four different duels would take place. Eight competitors would battle it out try and reach the semi-finals of the Tournament of Marvels.
The second round's titans were Nova and Star. This one was an unexpected match-up, given the relative obscurity of the two heroes. Though neither of them were what we'd call big names, their raw power was made very apparent in the previous rounds. When recordings of their performances were released to the public, the two quickly became fan-favorites to win.
How would this match go down? Brawl to the finish? A battle of wits and intrigue? Rock-paper-scissors? Only the competitors would decide how this played out. Let's hope that, whatever they have in mind, it's going to be the biggest spectacle Latveria has ever seen since last week, when their loving dictator clashed his enemies.
A male announcer's voice echoed through the stadium: "Nova vs Star! Would both competitors puh-lease make it to the field! It's time for bloodshed!"
