You witness the scene with Blane and the others.
While scanning him, the process gets interrupted and
an image appears on your screen along with the message: "It's nice to see you again, Joker."
Any information about the champ is hidden.
[@Blah]
His sword has no remarkable qualities, but you find it incredibly awkward to use, to the point that you doubt it'd be possible to perform more than the most basic fundamental maneuvers with the weapon. Deep down in your inner
psyche you feel that this weapon is simply
incompatible.
His pressure points are struck, but he doesn't get paralyzed. You also notice that he tried to pull back his swing at the last second and it would have missed you.
He glances at you to make sure you're alright, but ultimately ignores your question.
"...Sorry." he says.
Before disappearing.
[@Redgrave (and others present)]
As Genesis arrives, he sees the aftermath of the attempted attack on the champion. As everyone's attacks were redirected, most of the challengers got knocked out in the confusion, while others left after the initial attack. Only Blane, Genesis (and David) remain standing in front of the champ.
"Heh. This just wouldn't be a 'Galaxy's Strongest' tournament without somebody trying something like this at the beginning.
Well I'm not one to talk really. Come on, I'll take any and all challengers here and now. Should serve as a nice warm up. I won't even use any more tricks like before either."
He gestures towards Blane to make a move [because he's the closest].
[There are 8 hours until the elimination deadline.]
