A Challenge | un: vainglorious (video)

Champions of foreign lands and worlds of names I have yet to know–hearken unto me!

[This video starts off with a bang! No, literally. There’s a loud explosion in the background as towering flames suddenly jut out from all corners of the arena forming an orange-red haze around the entire colosseum. For any unfortunate souls here, it’s going to feel hotter than hell but for others just watching from afar; you’re relatively safe for now. Those wild orange flames won’t scorch anyone as long as Rosen has control of them.

Oh, for those of you wondering who’s talking right now–that would be the dapper old bastard with the long flowing hair dressed in bright red and blue tunic standing at the center of the colosseum. Don’t ask how he’s managing to film the entire stunt. He’s just doing what he does best, causing a disturbance. It’s been a little too peaceful here and he’s bloody determined to change all that. If there’s one thing Rosen hates more is peace and quiet.

Many of you proclaim to be warriors of realms I have yet to explore. Some of you even pretend to be likened to gods all for the sake of vanity and nothing else!

[It’s amazing how this crazed fellow can project his voice. He’s not talking into a microphone or anything. No, he’s literally projecting his voice throughout the entire colosseum over the roar of the fire. That actually takes talent and a lack of shame for being that damn LOUD! Then again, the colosseum has great acoustics.]

Therefore, I challenge you!

[In a flash of brilliant white light, a magical fiery red spear suddenly appears within his right hand. He dramatically points it towards the direction of the camera, making sure that this prized relic is on display for all to see. While it might come into question as of how he’s recording all this, Rosen at least knows how to put on a good show.]

I am called Rosenkrantz, and I formally challenge every capable warrior and legend here to face in armed combat! Only the strong need to apply for those without strength will be turned at the gate!

[He’s not kidding either. If he finds any of you fools lacking, he’ll toss you out of the colosseum on your ass. That is an unspoken rule here.]

With that said, if you seek a worthy challenge–then face me.

[And just like that, the footage goes black.]

[Hijikata is probably going to pronounce Rosen's name along the lines of 'Rosenkurantsu', so it's all good! He lets him take care of the shards for him, too wiped out to argue and fuss over such a little thing. The opportunity to observe Rosen's healing ability up close is neat, too. How handy that would be to have!

He listens to the explanation regarding the spear, letting the other man help him up, but the names and places ring no bell in his head. Back on his homeworld Ireland is currently part of the United Kingdom, and he never learned about the particulars of its states and regions. For the time being he's going to assume that Ulster is its own country on a world that's not Earth!]


Well, it looks like you're on your best way to become a legend too. Cú Chulainn would probably be proud of you.

[Rosen seriously is about the fiercest person he's met so far, and that really says a lot. He admires the reignited weapon.]

Almost makes me want to try spear-fighting, but I think I'm better off with my swords.

[Even if his main sword just broke on him.]
