"Gah, turn it off, let's get back to business, what of Timothy?"
"Incarcerated."
"And Joan?"
"Completely M.I.A."
Hmm... what about Frank?
"He was captured in that one raid by the... eccentric hunter. "
"What about Mia, have we found her?"
"Yes... it seems that she was kidnapped and entered into some sort of team based competition."
"Jeez. This is utterly ridiculous."
A man sits in a reasonably decorated black chair. He is dressed in a sleek black suit with grey stripes. His head, covered by the shadow of a fedora hat, only reveals two white eyes, pupils colored black. His voice has a tinge of an accent, one revealing both age and of some odd ethnicity. Standing beside him, holding a stack of papers is a woman. She is dressed in a dark red, suit, a companion to her partners. She similarly has her ebony hair covered by a red fedora. However, of note is that her face is clearly visible, shadow's notwithstanding. Her voice is similar in nature to the man, though it has a tinge of... something else.
The pair continues their conversation, spouting out names and the appropriate person's status. Person after person is shot down until, finally, the man gives up.
"Every eligible heir is gone." He holds his hands in a slight sorrow. "What do I do?"
"Oh... don't worry." The woman says with some doubt, "Surely we can find someone?"
"No. At this point I don't think that there is anyone in the family who could be groomed to take my place."
There is a silence in the room as the woman considers the words just said.
"No one in the family, but could there be someone eligible outside our ranks?"
The man's eyes opened and he smirked at the thought, "That... works perfectly." He stands from his chair and with a swift motion kisses the woman in thanks.
Moving to the center of the room, he raises his hand and snaps.
Eight beings appear, standing across from the man, each bowing.
"My Hitmen, you have served me well all these years, and now I need to serve me one last time. I need you to each find someone, an heir to take my place. Someone capable of running things after I am gone."
He turns, and spreads his arms out, dispersing the men, while calling to the woman, "Hold up everything else, we have a Vendetta to initiate!"

Welcome to Vendetta everyone!
Now, for those of you not in the know, this is the second Grand Battle in Season Intermission!
Here are some things you should know.
What is this?
-A Grand Battle is a collaborative writing competition in which about eight people (one of which could be you!) each enter a character to be forcefully thrust into a battle to the death across the multiverse.
-There are normally seven rounds, after some time passes and it seems like the round's internal story is coming to a climax, one character will be chosen to die and then the others will be moved on to a new location in a new round, until only one survives.
-Toward the end of each round, before the choice is made, I will request that players and readers send me a PM asking for opinions on how they feel the round has been and who they think should be eliminated. The selected one will then write their characters deathpost, and shortly afterward we will move on the round.
-Despite this format, it should be noted that Grand Battles are not just about fighting and killing. While the choice is there, and you certainly won't be docked for making it your focus, character interaction between players and character development and/or growth should be the primary goal. You need to write with others and, in multiple instances, take control of their characters in order to be successful and to create a great story together.
