[Victor Wolfe]

Victor raised an eyebrow as a wannabe model rushed past with a satisfied smile on his face carrying the storm demoness, the kid that had been staring daggers into the lords' skull in what was probably his closest to being "scathing", being knocked down in the process. It almost made Victor feel bad for the redhead, who had a look of confused rage on his face as he seemed to question if the abyss was simply out to kick him down at every opportunity. Once again he did nothing, no running after Mr steal your girl the second, or actual proper rage. 

Distracted by the pleasurable vibrations of his dataverse device Victor flicked it open, the list of partners was now updated, nervous excitement built in Victors veins as his eyes darted the list for his own name, It would seem that this event would be a tag team tournament, and Victor had drawn Retane, the green man from the first Abyss that Wolfe had ever taken part in. From his memory, Big Green was more than capable as a warrior, a pretty good match for the assassins tactical and cunning mind. Looking at the other matchups he noticed that the Uchiha boy had gotten the cute chick from the library and that Erik seemed to have gotten one of the best matchups of all, Deadpool, one of the most impressive duel wielders with a healing rate in all the verses. 

Wondering what noble warrior or dashing rogue their King with all of his luck would have pulled Victor noticed his opponents first, the captain of the guards and the genocidal monster known as Mickey the Rat. He wasn't the biggest fan of either, but knowing their capabilities Gilgamesh would need one hell of a partner to pull through, and it seemed that all the other Babylonians where taken. The name Desman Black sat next to Gilgamesh, pausing for a few moments the assassin decided to look up this persons profile, a sinking feeling filling his stomach as he didn't immediately recognise the name. 

The redheaded kid's picture and details popped up onto the screen, causing Victor to hold his arm against the wall to prevent himself from collapsing, from laughter, tears, or despair he didn't know. The kid that couldn't keep a girls attention for more than five minutes was supposed to be the one to protect his King, Karl Jak was a cruel madman, a brilliant one but cruel none the less. Perhaps in the short time that they had before the event started Gilgamesh with all his motivational speeches and unmatched charisma could pull a man out of the child that Victor observed almost sobbing in rage on the floor. He doubted it but time was of the essence, and if Victor was going to help draw the fire from this boys belly then he needed to work fast. With a sigh, he walked over to Des offering his hand. 

"It looks like you have been partnered with my King Mr Desman, now I don't like you, and I have a feeling you are not as big a fan of me as your girl is. But if you are teamed up with a Babylonian then you had best come with me, because unfortunately I am now duty bound to get you to our King and mentally prepare you for the battle ahead, so get your butt up and walk soldier!"  Victor said in an authoritative tone as Des angrily got to his feet. Victor noticed a group of the New Babylonians entering the main hall, from what he assumed was the training area. With a worried smile on his face, Victor rushed over to his comrades in arms. 

"My King, I bring your partner to you, I recommend immediately testing him out, from my own observations let us just say that things are not looking too promising." Victor sighed as he pressed his thumb and index finger to the bridge of his nose. Before the King could respond the assassin noticed the exorcist, his black uniform matching his feelings towards fun. A wicked smile crossed the face of the assassin as he thought up a plan to force the redhead to get angry and give this tournament his all.

"Hey Sir Kanda, this guy is your opponent in the next round, and he said that if you ever get a romantic partner he would do his best to steal her from you." Desman seemed shocked and stunned as a look of anger spread across the Exorcists face, his glare piercing both Desmans and Victors souls as he didn't respond. 

"But I, I didn't..." Before Des could finish his sentence Victor leaned in close and whispered.

"Actually, you should have seen how lovely-dovey Ash and him where getting, all snuggled up under a tree, like what you and she could never truly be, a couple!" Victor pulled away with a laugh a look of rage in the eyes of the youth as the assassin's plan seemed to be working. 

"Does that make you mad boy? Do you want to beat me up, go ahead if you think you can? Or do you need to go ask Ash's permission first? Wolfe taunted. 

Victor and Des are now in the main hall area.
