On a small island nation, the people were celebrating. A week earlier they were under the tyrannical rule of an evil king, who had the support of the World Government. 6 days ago a medium-sized ship with no markings arrived. 5 days ago people were seen moving in the night and some of the officials and other individuals that supported the king disappeared. 4 days ago a very small girl was seen fighting a man in a suit, which somehow started rumors of the latter being from Cipher Pol. 3 days ago several more battles happened and the Revolutionary Army made their presence even more known at a rally. 2 days earlier the inhabitants of the island banded together and marched to the castle. And less than 1 day ago the king was overthrown and the nation became free.
For the first time in decades noone had to worry about the corrupt guards arresting people for random acts, they didn't have to stay quiet and avoid eye contact with the elite, food was plentiful and they could do whatever they wanted and have as much fun as possible. Laughter that was so loud it echoed across the island was joined with the sounds of people cheering, happy conversation and music. Games and competitions were happening everywhere, from professional hosted events to kids playing, serious to light-hearted and watched by a couple of people to hundreds.
The inhabitants insist the Revolutionaries that save them join in and many of them create events just for them to show off and have fun. They also keep trying to feed them meals and give them gifts as an extra way of saying thank you, and continue doing so even though most of the freedom fighters say no; as just seeing them liberated is reward enough in their eyes.
At the center of the island, the volcano was even joining in by slightly erupting; the booming sounds and fire launched into the sky acting like fireworks. It was made mostly safe a long time ago and people often went up half way to gather obsidian and volcanic glass. There were even some competitions planned for very brave individuals on top of the erupting mountain, which had yet to receive many entrants...
In one of the largest squares, a woman with lavender colored hair was sat watching the festivities on a chair. The table infront of her had 3 cups of teas on it, 2 plates of biscuits, a jug of something alcoholic, a large cake that had so much icing it was impossible to tell what type it was and multiple bouquets of flowers. She had tried to say she didn't need anything, but people kept bringing her things anyway and the assortment of items had grown to what it was currently.
Sophie sips from one of the cups, having already drunk most of the other two as she didn't want to be rude. She had already eaten quite a bit from one of the buffets, so was going to waste the food on the table unless she had help. This train of though made her look over at a group of people about 30 metres away in the middle of the white stoned square that were watching 6 people compete in some sort of odd game. There was only one person outside of Jade that often needed to be kept an eye on when not in combat and a festival of competitions was worst case scenario for this person's antics, Sophie wasn't in the area to watch events but instead was there to watch one of the people participating in them.
Even though 5 of the competitors were a team, they were all losing against the one in first place. Having no real technique or understanding of most of the minor rules, the dark blue hair girl was quickly scoring points by somehow doing multiple things at once; her speed and precision making her easily outmatch all the others. Amy ends the game by reaching 100 points and the crowd goes wild, her competitors falling to the floor in defeat and exhaustion. When the previous matches had started there wasn't that many spectators but more people started to come to the square as a major event was going to start soon, this game was just suppose to be a way to pass the time until the Revolutionary Agent showed how talented she was and started to draw attention. By the time the current competition had started, Amy had won 11 times in a row and wanted more of a challenge; the game was suppose to be played 1 on 1 or 2 on 2.
