You know the drill guys!
- THE PRELIMINARIES - for this part only, characters are randomly placed in teams.
- ROUND 1 - The top two characters from each team with the most votes progresses through as the victors. FINISHED!
- ROUND 2 - A repeat of Round 1, only this time, characters are placed in twelve groups of four, and the one character with the most votes progress through to the Instant Death round. FINISHED!
- INSTANT DEATH - where the real fun begins! Typically a series of knockout polls where the character with the most votes is killed off over a 24 hour period. Any tie breakers? Both characters die then >D
"You. Killed. James."
"Actually, they did - "
"EXPELLIARMUS," roared Sirius, and Dean found his gun flying into the stands, where rabid fangirls frantically fought for possession of the sacred artifact.
"Oh shit shit shit shit shit," Dean muttered as he did a barrel roll, each expletive met with met with a different-coloured spell flying just past him. "Cas, do something!"
Castiel teleported, reared back an arm and delivered a blow to Sirius' jaw. Sirius could swear he saw stars as he went flying across the arena, punctuated by the excited screams of more fangirls. The wizard landed hard, but quickly started firing spells at the advancing angel.
Expelliarmus - nope. Stunner - nope. A dozen assorted attack spells - nope. Avada Kedavra? Bounced off his chest and shot off into the audience stands.
"OMIGAWD I'M GOING TO GET KILLED BY SIRIUS!"
"You lucky bitch, that'll be me!"
Castiel kept advancing, ignoring the coloured lights the wizard kept throwing his way. He was almost to Sirius, ready to deliver a knockout punch -
- and then blindsided when Sirius yelled "Accio Muggle wreckage!" Arthur and Merlin did their own barrel rolls to narrowly dodged the smouldering heap of twisted metal plus one angel as it smashed into the wall near them.
"Hey, give back my gun!" Dean was yelling up into the stands.
"No way, it's mine!"
"I kind of need it to live down here!"
"Keep it for him!" screamed another fangirl, waving a "GO SIRIUS" pennant.
"You shut up, I'm already in enough - oh shit - "
Dean dodged yet another flying spell as chunks of concrete flew around him. More running and dodging as a throughly-pissed Sirius continued hot on his heels, throwing every spell in the books at him. Several cut way too close for the demon hunter to be comfortable, gradually shredding his clothes to ribbons (and much to the delight of several more fangirls).
"CAAAAASS!"
And just when Sirius should've finally gotten over his stormtrooper aim, Castiel appeared before him again, slamming him into the ground. Sirius lost his wand as he grappled with the angel, both of them tearing more clothes in the process to expose plenty of smudged and sweaty skin.
Dean paused, bent over to catch his breath.
"Sorry about this, but - "
Dean turned, just in time to meet Arthur's sword, which whirled around way too close for him to dodge.
Fangirl screams suddenly went silent as Dean's head, still bearing the look of surprise, slowly arced into the air and disappeared into the stands.
