Vegeta sat in the corner after the meal and the room changed back to the waiting room, Bakuda had also sat next to him but instead of what Vegeta was doing (Taking a nap) he was watching Zephyr's every move; "I still don't trust you…" he thought.

"Why shouldn't you?" came a voice that Bakuda recognised as Vegeta's, Bakuda did not look at him; "Read my mind… I need to show you something…" he replied as the prince did just that… after a few moments… "So that's why… but instead of looking for anything bad that the guy does, look for anything good, when I searched for any ki's during that vision of yours, I felt one that was definitely evil and one that was good…" he explained as Bakuda interrupted; "What are you implying?" as Vegeta sighed; "He may not be the guy you are looking for… that's all I'm saying," he finished and Bakuda sighed and watched as Karnak stepped up to the podium and Winter crept up to the podium slowly. Nappa accompanied Karnak and gave Winter a push; "You should give up now pipsqueak! You don't stand a chance!" he exclaimed and pushed her again. Bakuda was about to rise and do something but someone beat him to it… Nappa was sent flying across the room at an alarming rate and when he got back up, there was a slight burn mark across his face.

Zephyr stood back up straight and yelled with his hands having a dieing flicker of flame on them; "Don't you ever come near her again?! Got it?!" Winter thanked him quietly as Nappa walked back to Karnak; "Won't need too, since Karnak here will destroy her!" he boasted and gave Karnak a slap on the back.

Zephyr growled as the voice came back; "The fight will begin! Winter Vs. Karnak!" the voice announced as the battlefield changed to an area where the fighters were on a large tower of rock that was standing in the middle of a pool of lava! There was ancient poles surrounding the rock that connected to each other at the top by a circle.

"For this round, the fighters won't be on preferred battlegrounds, but on battlefields that will test their nerves and ability to survive! Begin!" the voice ordered and Winter launched herself at the god of war. Karnak stood stock still as Winter delivered a chop to the neck… Karnak stared at her and then cricked his neck to show that it did no damage then smiled; "Was that all you got?" he taunted and swung his hammer in Winter's direction who dodged by jumping back; "Not by a long shot!" and grabbed onto the hammer as it came by her again, she then was flung to the right and grabbed hold of one of the poles and swung around once; "Excuse me if I borrow your move Bakuda," she thought as she used the momentum to send herself flying back at Karnak that was sent skidding backwards after impact, he steadied himself and inspected his now cracked armour and then glowered towards Winter who had lowered into a fighting stance; "Look what you've done you measly insect!" he shouted and raised his hammer above his head and brought it down upon Winter who dodged out of the way but noticed that Karnak was not aiming for her! The tower was shaking slightly and pieces of the tower started falling into the lava!

Winter glanced down to the lava and sweat dropped; "Does he plan to kill us both?!" she thought and turned back to Karnak who had his arm outstretched and held up three figures; "Three minutes, then this rock is history!" he laughed insanely. Winter gulped then lowered back to her fighting stance; "This won't take that long," she commented as Karnak screamed; "YES!!! YOU SHALL DIE NOW!!!"

Karnak opened his palm and a large brilliant red flame appeared in it; "Fires of war!" he cried and threw the fire ball toward Winter who rolled to the left and let the fire ball pass her… but the fire ball shot around back at her! Winter rolled again as the flame passed again then jumped into the air, the fireball shot back up at her in the air but she was right below the circle connecting the pillars and she launched her self back at the ground.

The fire ball followed and Winter jumped out of the way as the fire slammed into the ground and exploded on impact with something… she turned back to Karnak but his hand gripped her throat! She struggled as Karnak grinned and flames started billowing around Winters feet… Karnak started laughing his head off as a golden/purple aura enveloped Karnak and tightened his grip on Winter, causing her to choke… the flames sprung up and enveloped the now screaming female fox.

Zephyr was trying to reach her but was being held back by Minda, Blitz and Mathias… who was having a bad time with the task… Zephyrs fur slightly darkened and his pupils were hardly visible… Bakuda watched Zephyr with thoughts going through his head a mile a minute; "Maybe he isn't the one in the vision… and also… How is Karnak is using Dakuba's technique! It is the one Dakuba used on the police officer when he met Dawn… The aura is Dakuba's too! What is going on?!" he cried in his head as Karnak laughed and the flames extinguished, leaving a seriously burnt and barely conscious fox in his hand, she whimpered audibly and Karnak laughed again as he put his extra hand against her stomach and then frowned suddenly; "Die…" and unleashed a blast that blew through her stomach and sent her body flying into the lava…

Zephyr yelled at the top of his lungs and threw off his restrainers as his body glowed a bright gold colour and his fur followed suit; "KARNAK!!!" he screamed as Karnak stepped into the 'Waiting room'. Karnak glanced at him then smiled; "What? Was she a friend of yours?" he mocked as Zephyr prepared charge at him but Bakuda phased in front of him, Bakuda was enveloped in a flame like aura and stared into Zephyrs eyes and Zephyr could hear a voice in his head; "Sorry, but the time isn't right…" and Zephyr felt all the wind be forced out of him… he glanced down to his stomach where Bakuda's fist had struck… Zephyr's eyes rolled to the back of his head as he passed out. Bakuda sighed; "You would have been killed," he said softy as he carried Zephyr with the help of Mathias over to a wall for him to rest up on…

"The winner is Karnak! The next match is Dawn and Crystal! Prepare for battle!" the voice announced. Dawn walked up to the podium with Amelia with him to give him moral support and Crystal gave him a evil glare as she stood next to him; "Remember my promise," she said darkly as Dawn looked down to the ground worried, Bakuda frowned; "Crystal, I don't want you fight with a grudge, because I don't blame him and neither should you!" he told her telepathically. Crystal sighed then turned back to Dawn; "You are lucky you have someone looking over you kid," she said simply and Dawn glanced over to Bakuda who gave him a thumbs up, Dawn smiled and returned it… he turned back to Crystal and held out his hand; "Fair fight?" he asked hopefully and Crystal looked at him strangely… but shook it; "Maybe Bakuda is right about him…" she thought as Amelia ruffled Dawns bangs, to his delight.
