A Thousand Reasons - Chapter 2: 2nd Bout - Episode 3

(Captain) joins Lyria and Vyrn in the stands to watch the third match: Ayer vs. the Pitch-Black Punisher. The latter is clearly Seox, despite his attempt to hide his identity. The disguised Eternal's participation only deepens the crew's suspicions about the tournament.

---

Vyrn: Well, we still haven't found anything suspicious.

Lyria: Yeah. Not a thing.

(Captain) joins Lyria and Vyrn in the stands to grab a break between fights.

Vyrn: What about you, (Captain)?

The captain gives a shake of the head.

Lyria: Oh...

Vyrn: Well, this is still just the first round.

Vyrn: We need to be prepared for anything, guys.

Lyria: You're right!

Lyria: Oh, and...

Lyria: Hehe... (Captain), you looked really cool during your match!

Vyrn: I'm right with you, Lyria, but try not to go dropping names, okay? The captain's supposed to be incognito!

Lyria: Ack, I forgot!

Lyria claps a hand over her mouth and (Captain) smiles.

Commentator: It looks like our next pair is ready, so wait no longer!

Vyrn: Sounds like the next match is starting.

Commentator: Who will face off in match three?

Commentator: Ayer!

Commentator: And... Hm? Uh...

Commentator: The Pitch-Black Punisher.

Commentator: That's quite the mouthful...

Commentator: As you can see, he wears a mask and a cloak. And it says here that we know nothing else about him!

Lyria: Hey, isn't that...

Vyrn: The Masked Wonder? Yep.

Lyria: Seox, one of the Eternals.

Vyrn: Now that I think about it, his cape's a different color, isn't it?

Lyria: Yes. And he's going by a fake name. Do you think he's trying to hide his identity?

Vyrn: I guess he has his reasons... So we've got an Eternal going incognito at this tournament too.

Vyrn: The Grandsky Rumble is looking fishier by the second!

Ayer: The qualifiers were a total bore. I hope you're actually worth my time.

P. B. Punisher: Talking the talk already, eh? You seem quite experienced.

Ayer: Yeah, so?

P. B. Punisher: Never mind. It makes no difference to me.

Ayer: Huh. Enough talk. Let's get to it already!

P. B. Punisher: Let's.

Commentator: The Pitch-Black Punisher has thrown off his cloak. It seems both our fighters are raring to go!

Commentator: I must admit seeing so many masked contenders really threw me for a loop...

Commentator: But I've got it together now! Time for match three!

Commentator: Ready...

Commentator: Fight!
