A/N: This one takes place during episode 23 in G-Revolution, right after Kai's battle with Ray, showing Tala's thoughts after the match.
Tala watched as Kai exited the stadium. He makes it look too easy, he thought as their teammates exchanged looks of confusion.
The redhead looked toward the White Tiger X team, who were all helping Ray down the steps and out of the stadium. How could they have such a great team dynamic? They were always there for each other, backing each other up and cheering each other on. Of course the Blitzkrieg Boys were worried when the dish was blasted apart from Ray's attack, but they hadn't been vocal about it.
White Tiger X had lost, and yet they were smiling and laughing as if they had won. It annoyed Tala to no end, and he momentarily forgot his frustration at Kai while he wondered why their team wasn't the same way.
They had always been independent from one another, worrying more about themselves. Tala knew his teammates could take care of themselves in a pinch, but the thought of having someone there anyway, no matter what the circumstances were, was alien to him.
Was it the Abbey?
Tala shook his head. There was no time to think about that. Now that they knew they were shoe-in for the Finals, there were more important things to worry about, like that runt Daichi. How dare he beat him in Rome.
"Let's go," he said, starting to leave as the next match was being announced. "We have work to do."
