"Who's made it into the semi- finals?" Nefertiti asked.

"Like I said a month ago," Kuro began, "Only ten."

"Who, specifically?" Nefertiti pressed.

Kuro hesitated, before huffing.

"Bao, Chris, Christina, Nero, and Wales will be on one team." Kuro said.

Nefertiti guestured for her friend to continue.

"Jack, Damian, Johannes, Julia, and Argo are on the other team." Kuro finished.

Nefertiti looked troubled, "Damian and Wales?"

"I've already made the match- ups. Wales and Damian are battling each other." Kuro replied.

Nefertiti sighed, "Okay, fine."

There was a moment of silence.

"When are the semi- finals?"

"Next Monday- hopefully enough time for the Bladers to recover from the last month." Kuro paused, then added quietly, "And enough time for Sophie to heal."


Wales: *cracks knuckles* When can I fight Damian?

Me/ Bao: *sweatdrop* Really?

Wales: What?

Me: Nothing...

Bao: He's talking about murder? What do you mean nothing?

Me: Shut up...

Bao: I mean, he could turn into a homicidal maniac!

Excaliber: Hey!

Julian: No one on Team Excaliber will be a killer.

Me: *rolls eyes, snickers* You never know! Now, my readers! Please review!
