There was a loud commotion in the streets of downtown Jump City. The sound of tires peeling out, the screeching of metal scraping metal, the squealing of brakes and then the loud, unmistakeable sound of a car crash. But then, the commotion all died down...for a moment, at least. The silence was broken by the feedback of a megaphone and an amplified voice.
"PEOPLE OF JUMP CITY," the metallic voice said. "My name is Calibur the Knight and before me stand a number of upstanding gentlemen who decided to collect a little extra pocket change in the form of...wait, how much was it?"
In the streets of Jump City, a white unmarked van that looked like it just lost a fight with a can opener was wrapped around a telephone pole. Tied to that very same telephone pole were three rather bruised up and beaten apparent bank robbers. And leaning down to talk to one of those men was a man in full armor clutching a megaphone in one hand and a sword in the other.
"In the form of $50,000 dollars in cash stolen from the First National of Jump City! Unfortunately for these gentlemen, their little Bonnie and Clyde routine was stopped by myself. But, fortunately for YOU, my fellow citizens, you've all just earned a shot at $50,000 dollars! I have full intention to surrender these men to the proper authorities when they arrive...but their loot? Their loot will go to whomever can best me in combat. So, if you be brave and would like your slice of this pie, step forth and face me!"
With that, the knight set his megaphone down and walked over to the rear doors of the van, blocking them and the money hidden within. The knight's strangely shaped sword was pointing into the ground in front of him and he leaned on it, standing and waiting for the challengers to arrive.
