Well, I gave some time for something to happen in the intro topic, but oh well. Without further ado, the battle begins.

I highly doubt I have to explain the rules to you (you wouldn't be here if you didn't know them anyway), but for the sake of it...

Rules:

-Do not auto-hit.

-Do not control your opponent's character(s).

-For practical purposes, each of your characters begins at a roughly same level of power (of course, that power may or may not be equally distributed among speed, strength, endurance etc... you know the drill).

-Any transformations / power boosts your characters have are available, as long as they have some kind of drawback / restriction (limited duration etc).

-Everything is allowed in this fight. You can bring with you into the arena any weaponry / items your character can carry (yes Niku, Itachi can have his armor >_>). You can use every move in your character's repertoire.

-This is a free-for-all fight (at least for now). That means, everyone fights everyone. However, you are free to form alliances etc at your leisure. Just remember that in the end, only one can win the prize.

-For now, your instructions are: fight each other until one falls. The survivors will proceed to the next round.

-Anything might happen during your fight. Be prepared for surprises - there will be many.

-The fight under these conditions will last indefinately, until one of you goes down or something else happens to interrupt it.

==============================================

Thousands upon thousands of faceless creatures now filled the previously empty seats of the colliseum, their figures clouded in a shroud of darkness, like shrewd judges, waiting for the contestants to enter the ring.

An eerie, faint green light emanating from no particular source illuminated the massive, plain circular arena where the deathmatch would take place. Currently, nothing in particular was visible that could potentially interest the fighters or influence their battle in any way.

It was all up to the four now. To fight, survive, and claim the prize for absolute victory.

==============================================

Forgive the lack of epicness and length for this post, I lack too much hatred right now to whip up something better.

As you can see, things start off pretty basic. A simple (albeit huge), plain, tournament-style arena where you all four fight against each other until the first one surrenders / drops unconscious / dies / is knocked off the arena (hard to achieve) / etc. Anyone can start, but avoid attacking until everyone has posted at least once. Also, avoid posting before all other three have posted in between (meaning, keep the original order).

This thread is for fighting only. Any discussions are to take place in the intro thread, but you can't RP in there any longer.

Good luck, and begin.
