It was early in the morning and Valdreg yawned and sat up in bed. He glanced over at the calendar and saw the little red scribbling’s. Unable to make them out he put on his glasses and squinted. “Oh right, todays the start of the vore tournament, this should be fun.” Valdreg got up, brushed his teeth and fur and went outside after grabbing a quick breakfast and got in his red 2006 Chevy Aveo and started to drive towards the city.
As he drove the song animals by Maroon 5 came on the radio and he started to sing along. “Baby, I'm preying on you tonight, Hunt you down eat you alive….” He continued to sing along and soon he could see the stadium in the far distance and he knew he had to hurry up or he would be late. The engine of his car revved up as he picked up the speed, soon getting to the tall stadium and going in the side entrance as he pulled on his sports jacket.
“I wonder who will be competing in this month’s tournament.” He said to himself as he walked down several long and twisting hallways. He could hear the crowds of people cheering and waiting for the tournament to start. He dodged and weaved through the crowds of employees who made this whole thing possible with all their hard work and prepping. Then after what felt like hours of walking, but was really just minutes due to adrenaline, he came to a tall blue door and took a deep breath. “Okay, don’t be nervous.” He griped the door knob and walked into the room, looking around at the eight contestants who were all gathered in the room as the cameras started broadcasting to the stadium and television stations.
He looked to the far left and sitting on the arm of one of the couches in the room he saw a cute young male silver coyotesky dressed in a gray hoodie and blue jeans. He stood about five foot eight inches and had a lean build. His head fur had rusty colored tips as well as his ears and paws. The coyotesky was sitting quietly and holding his arm and his tail in front of him, obviously shy and nervous and he smiled slightly as he looked up at Valdreg and then he immediately looked back down and blushed heavily. “What’s your name little guy?” Valdreg asked abruptly and the coyotesky almost jumped. “Oh…um…g...Galileo.” Valdreg walked up to Galileo and handed him a silver key with the number one on it.
To the right of the coyotesky, sitting on the other end of the couch was an almost six foot tall, heavy set, white and black striped chimera. Whose tail seemed to move like a snake but was generally still. He had long slightly curved horns and a golden underbelly and paws. His right eye was covered by a mysterious yellow seal that obscured his natural eye color. He wore only tan pants. He sat with his arms crossed over his bulging belly which looked like it had handled a few large meals in its day. “Chimera, what’s your name?” the chimera looked up and almost growled before seeing the badge that said tournament official. “Shwoopy Rrale.” Valdreg held out a salmon colored key with the number two out to him, Shwoopy almost drooling at the color and taking it quickly and licking it and grunting in disappointment at the flavor.
As Valdreg walked to the next couch he tripped and stumbled on a hoof that stuck out from next to the first couch and as he looked back he saw a rather pudgy little brown pony that had been sleeping. The pony shook his head as he looked up, his bright red eyes glistening as he woke up and his ears flickered, the gold piercings in them wiggling slightly as he yawned. “W...wha…?” the pony looked around for a second confused and looked at Valdreg. “What’s going on sir?” Valdreg looked at the little pony and his massive gut. “Are you here for the tournament?” the pony nodded and his tail waved back and forth as he stood up. “What’s your name?” the pony yawned again and smiled wide and licked Valdreg quickly. “Sketchy sir.” Valdreg held out a brown key with the number three to sketchy who took it quickly and smiled.
Valdreg looked at the next couch for the fourth contestant, and smacked his paw against his face. “These guys get here too early.” He walked over to the anthro blue dragon that was asleep on the couch and shook him gently, the dragon slowly waking up and turning over, showing his white underbelly and smiling big. “hi there, did I miss something?” the dragon stood up quickly and hit his head on the ceiling and wincing some and changing his shape so he was a little shorter. “Ouch…” Valdreg stifled a laugh as well as some of the other contestants and he smiled at the blue dragon. “Umm…yes, what’s your name?” the dragon unexpectantly hugged Valdreg and smiled. “My name is Nira and im glad to meet you.” Valdreg hugged him back and gently pushed away. “Okay Nira, here is your key.” Valdreg held out a light blue key with the number four on it and Nira grasped it firmly in his paw before putting it in the pocket of his faded jeans. “Thank you.”
Valdreg smiled and looked to the next contestant who was standing against the wall. he was a long haired silver and white wolf who had long hair over part of his face and a black cross on it, he had on a light blue and white scarf and his left arm was bandaged up, his black pants had white crosses on the calves and Valdreg walked up to him and smiled. “So, what’s your name?” the wolf smiled and puffed his chest proudly. “My name is Jonas.” Valdreg smiled and held out a paw with a white key with the number five on it and Jonas took it and put it in his pocket. “Thank you.”
As Valdreg looked to the next couch and saw a white wolf with black hair, blue eyes and blue accents on his ears and tail cuddling with a six foot tall cat with black fur everywhere but his right paws and the tip of his right ear. The cat had golden eyes and was playfully playing footsie with the wolf that was giggling and kissing his cheek. Valdreg smiled and walked up to the cute couple and cleared his throat. “A-hem, may I ask who the two of you are?” the wolf gently scratched behind the cat’s ear and the cat purred. “Mmmm…my name is flux. “He blushed a little and kissed the white wolfs cheek and the wolf smiled. ”a...and im ace.” Valdreg held out a golden colored key with the number six on it to flux and a yellow key out to ace. “I hope you two enjoy competing.” Valdreg said as they both replied, “thank you”.
Valdreg finagled with the last key in his pocket and he looked at the last contestant who was a feminine looking male sitting stretched out on the last couch in the room and had his paws behind his head listening to music. Valdreg walked up towards him and waved at the chocolate brown wolf that had ear buds in pulled one out and looked up at the tall black wolf. “Yeah?” Valdreg motioned for him to take out his ear buds; the brown wolf did so and put them in the pocket of his golden shorts. “The tournament is about to start. So what’s your name?” the brown wolf smiled. “Oh my name is Thorrin.” Valdreg smiled and held out a purple key with the number eight on it and Thorrin grabbed it and put it in his pocket with his earbuds. “Thanks.”
Valdreg walked to the center of the room and whistled loudly, all of the contestants covering their ears simoultaioniously and Valdreg clapped his paws. “Okay everyone, I need you to follow me, and please keep up and pay attention because I will be explaining the rules of the tournament as we travel.” Galileo quickly jumped up and ran over to Valdreg, almost running into him and smiling as he stood close. “Hey hon.”Valdreg bent down and hugged Galileo tight. “Hey babe, good luck.” The other contestants soon gathered by Valdreg as he led them into the hall. “I know most of you already and I know this isn't your first time here, but I still have to go over the rules.” Everyone nodded and Galileo walked close behind Valdreg, and keeping pace. “as some of you already know the terrain changes between matches and that all magic and shape shifting abilities are suppressed inside the arena, you go into your room that has your key number on it, and you wait there, if you’re a shape shifter you have to enter the field in the form you want to be in for the entire match, it will not be possible for you to change. You are not allowed to bring weapons into the arena, though you are allowed to use the friction free ropes and tranquilizer guns that are hidden throughout the areas. This is a test of skill, wit, stealth, strength and ingenuity. Use everything to your advantage. You may not intentionally hurt your opponent. You may digest your prey if you want, you do not have to, you may let them go, reformation will occur at the end of the tournament. Anyone have any questions?” they soon arrived at a large open room with eight doors, all marked with colored numbers and the room stayed quiet as Valdreg turned around. “Okay then, everyone can go to the room with their key number on it, you will be matched up shortly, have fun, play fair, and good luck.”
All eight contestants went to their respective rooms and closed the doors behind them. Valdreg then locked the doors behind each one of them and climbed up the stairs at the far end of the room, soon stepping on a platform that rises into the air. “Ladies and gentlemen can I hear you cheer for our eight contestants?” the crowd roared and cheered as the platform rose to the middle of the arena and Valdreg waved his hand to tell everyone to quiet down. “We have eight lucky contenders who were introduced to you from the contestants room, the rules are simple, eat or be eaten. This is a family safe event so there is no blood or gore, just hunger. Are we excited to see the first round?” the crowd cheered again and Valdreg pointed up to the board to find the pairings for today. “Round one match one is….”the faces of all the contestants flashed on the board and slowly slowed down and stopped. “Thorrin vs. Shwoopy”
