Chapter 10: Round One, Part 9
- Space Colosseum -
Cannon and Shadow had won thier matches over Silver and Stream. After the fifteen minute break had passed, Omochao appeared on screen again.
"I hope everyone is ready, because we are now going to continue the tournament! Start the randomizer"
Omochao was soon replaced with the slot machine. The first reel began to spin itself in a blur.
"And the next participant is..."
The first reel began to slow down until it came to a stop.
"Bingo! The next participant is a swallow who likes living in the old west; Give it up for Samson the Swallow!"
The black swallow came out to a decent cheer. He lokoed up at the crowd to see Louise and Kera waving and cheering for him. When he made it to his side of the court, Omochao made it's next announcement.
"And now, let us see who Samson's opponent will be!"
The second reel spinned itself in a blur. Samson watched carefully to see whom would enter next.
"And Samson's opponent is..."
The second reel slowed itself down until it came to a stop, revealing Samson's opponent.
"It's been decided! Samson's opponent is a girl whom is said to have multiple personality disorder. Let's hear it for Kiba the Panda!"
Kiba came out to a mixed reaction from the crowd. After hearing about Kiba, most of the audience wondered how she was going to fare in this match. The panda didn't mind it as she rode her way on a motor bike that she was going to be using for the match.
The two approached each other, having a stare down with each other.
"Are you going to put up a match? Or are you just going to keep staring at me like a pervert?" Kiba asked, not amused.
"Don't worry about that, senorita." Samson replied. "I'm not going to take it easy on you, despite being a girl. And I'm not a pervert."
"Whatever." Kiba shrugged, as she returned to her original position. Samson did the same thing.
"And now, let us change the environment of the field!"
The stadium faded black before another arena took it's place. It looked like they were at Soleanna, the city of water. The place where Princess Elise reigned over her people that lived here.
After the arena had changed, the female referee came by and gave the ball to Samson. Afterwards, she returned to her position.
"I would like both of the competitors to get on their Extreme Gear." She ordered.
Doing what she said, Samson hopped on his board while Kiba got on her motor-bike. Once the referee saw that they had their rackets ready, she raised her arm in the air.
"Begin!" She shouted, as she swinged her arm down, signalling the start of the match.
Samson tossed the ball in the air and slammed it over to Kiba. The large panda returned the shot by swinging her racket with little effort, as she hit the ball back at Samson at a decent rate. Samson moved a little frontwards before whacking the ball back towards Kiba's side of the court. Kiba retaliated by riding towards the net and whacking the ball towards Samson again.
Samson gripped his racket and smacked the ball towards Kiba, whom returned it again with little effort. Despite the effort, the ball was still flying towards the swallow at a decent rate. Samson moved back a bit and whacked the ball back to Kiba. The panda countered by slamming the ball bac towards Samson.
The black swallow gritted his teeth and whacked the ball as fast as he could towards Kiba. The ball went flying towards her, so she smashed the ball at high speed, away from Samson's direction. The swallow rode towards the ball, but was too late when missed it, as it bounced on the ground a couple of times before rolling to a stop.
SAMSON: 0 - KIBA: 15
Samson glanced over at the scoreboard, only to see it changed in Kiba's favor. He decided to shrug it off and focus on the match.
Everything was settled and the match began again. Samson served the ball towards Kiba, whom returned it by whacking it at high speed. Samson rode his gear towards the right and whacked the ball back at Kiba's side of the court. Kiba saw the ball heading towards her, so she stayed in her position and whacked the ball back to Samson. The black swallow rode frontwards and whacked the ball back to Kiba at a decent rate.
The female panda wasn't worried. She narrowed her eyes as she rode a few inches forward before smacking the ball towards Samson again. The black swallow got ready as he stayed where he was before whacking the ball back to Kiba's side of the court. Kiba rode towards the left a bit as she whacked the ball back in Samson's direction. Samson stayed ehere he was before hitting the ball back towards Kiba.
Kiba swinged her racket arm, sending the ball flying back towards Samson. The black swallow narrowed his eyes before moving back and hitting the ball back towards Kiba. The panda gripped her racket and smashed the ball back towards Samson at high speed again. Samson swinged his racket, but missed, as the ball went over hs racket before bouncing on his side of the court once before it did it a couple of more times.
SAMSON: 0 - KIBA: 30
Samson was disappointed in himself, seeing as how Kiba got another point for herself. What was he to do? He would just have to come up with some strategy, if he wanted to stay in this.
Everything was cleared, and the match began again. Samson tossed the ball in the air and smacked it over to Kiba. The female panda returned the shot by smashing the ball back towards Samson. The black swallow grittied his teeth as he rode a little frontwards before hitting the ball back towards his opponent.
Kiba wasn't too worried, as she whacked the ball towards Samson's side of the court. Samson rode towards the right before whacking the ball towards Kiba's side of the court. Kiba did not let the ball go out of her sight as she moved back a bit and slammed the ball back towards Samson. The black swallow gripped his racket and whacked the ball at a fast rate. However, it wasn't enough for him as Kiba just kept whacking the ball back towards Samson.
Samson narrowed his eyes as he moved backwards before whacking the ball back in Kiba's direction. Kiba decided wind up her racket arm and smash the ball back towards Samson again. The black swallow moved forwards again before hitting the ball back towards Kiba once more. This kept going on, as the two repeadetly kept hitting the ball back and forth between each other, not knowing whom was going to take the point here.
Kiba then decided to end this by smashing the ball as hard as she could. Samson tried hitting the ball, but instead of hitting the flying object, it hit his arm before dropping to the ground. This gave Kiba another point.
SAMSON: 0 - KIBA: 45
Samson growled to himself. He had her on the ropes, but she managed to pull off another point in the end. Now the frustration was starting to get to the swallow.
"Match Point!" The female referee shouted.
Now Samson had to focus. It was either stay in or be eliminated here from this tournament.
Everything was cleared, and Samson served the ball towards Kiba. The female panda retaliated by whacking the ball back towards her opponent. Samson moved to the left and whacked the ball back towards Kiba's side of the court. Kiba saw the ball flying away from her, so she rode towards the ball and smacked it back towards Samson.
Samson kept his ground as he smacked the ball back in Kiba's direction. Kiba saw the ball coming towards her, so she rode towards the ball and whacked it back towards him. Samson moved back a bit before hitting the ball back towards Kiba again. Kiba saw the ball coming towards her as she whacked the ball in the other direction. Samson rode as has as he could before barely hitting the ball back to Kiba.
Kiba quickly flipped her racket in the other hand and smashed it in the direction at high speed. Samson tried to hit the ball by riding towards it, but was too late, as the ball bounced on his side of the court a couple of times before coming to a stop.
"Game, Set, and Match!" The referee announced. "The winner of this match goes to Kiba the Panda!"
Kiba received a decent cheer from the crowd. Samson was again disappointed in himself for not winning the match, or even scoring a point. Kiba rode over to him before stopping.
"Better luck next time." Kiba simply replied before riding off towards the back. The stadium had already turned back to it's original self by the time she disappeared.
Samson got back up and picked up his board before heading towards the back. The crowd cheered for him one more time before he was gone.
"In a good contest, Kiba manages to pick up the win, while Samson is eliminated from the tournament. Now, let us see who's going to be next!"
The slot machine was revealed again as the first reel began to spin itself. No one could tell whom was going to be next.
"And the next participant is..."
The first reel began to slow itself down before coming to a stop.
"Excellent! The next participant is a wolf whom is the leader of a group called Xtreme Heroes. Let's hear it for Kayden Seyak!"
The crowd cheered for Kayden as he entered the stadium. To himself, he felt good about his chances. But then again, he didn't want to get over-confident. If someone with a dark heart was entering the tournament, he would have to take that person out. Then again, it didn't matter to him. He just wanted to face someone that was going up against him. When he reached his position, Omochao made it's next announcement.
"And now, let us see who Kayden's opponent is going to be!"
The second reel began to spin itself in a blur. Kayden focused his eyes on the reel.
"And Kayden's opponent is..."
The second reel slowed itself down until it came to a stop, revealing Kayden's opponent.
"And it's decided! Kayden's opponent is a rabbit whom is looking for some action. Here is Velocity the Rabbit!"
Velocity felt good about herself as she waved at the crowd while carrying her board and racket. Maddy had already won her match was moving on in the next round. So if she could win her match here, then there would be a chance that she could go up against Maddy in the next round or so.
The two competitors made it to the center of the net as they stared at each other.
"Good luck. Because your going to need it when you go up against me." Velocity grinned at him.
Kayden only shrugged. "I don't need luck to win. You just need to focus on the match."
"Point taken." Velocity nodded before heading towards her position, with Kayden doing the same.
"And now, let us change the environment of the field."
The stadium turned black for a moment before a new arena took it's place. It looked like they were playing at Spogania, one of the places Sonic and Chip traveled to find one of the Gaia Gates.
Once the arena had changed, the referee came by and gave the ball to Kayden, meaning that he would serve first. She then returned to her position.
"I want both of the competitors to get on their Extreme Gear." She ordered.
Doing this, both Kayden and Velocity got on their boards and got their rackets ready. Once they were in position, the referee raised her arm in the air.
"Begin!" She shouted, as she swinged her arm down, signalling the start of the match.
Kayden tossed the ball in the air and slammed it towards Velocity. The rabbit returned the shot by whacking the ball back towards her opponent. Kayden stayed in his position as he whacked the ball back towards Velocity's side of the court. Velocity saw the ball flying away from her, so she rode towards the ball and was able to whack it back towards Kayden.
The black wolf rode a little forwards before hitting the ball back towards his opponent. Velocity rode a little back towards her position before smacking the ball towards Kayden's side of the court. Kayden gripped his racket and whacked the ball back towards Velocity. The rabbit rode a little forwards before smacking the ball back in his direction.
Kayden smirked as he managed to hit the ball with his racket. When that happened, the ball was separated into three different copies, and they were all turned into fireballs. Velocity's eyes widened as she looked around at the flying balls. She decided to just hit one of them and see if it was the right one. Unfortunately for her, it wasn't the right one. The real ball appeared and bounced on her side of the court. This gave Kayden the first point of the match.
KAYDEN: 15 - VELOCITY: 0
"Dang!" She shouted to herself. Oh well, she still had plenty of chances left, so she got her head back in the game and stayed focused.
Everything was settled, and the match began again. Kayden served the ball towards Velocity, whom returned the shot by whacking the ball towards the black wolf. Kayden narrowed his eyes as he rode a little frontward towards the ball before smacking it back towards Velocity's side of the court. The rabbit rode towards the ball before whacking it back towards Kayden's side of the court. Kayden retaliated by riding backwards before slamming the ball to Velocity again.
Velocity gripped her racket as she rode towards the net before whacking the ball towards her opponent. Kayden moved backwards before smacking the ball towards Velocity. The rabbit stayed in her position before whacking the ball back towards Kayden's side of the court. Kayden managed to return the ball back to Velocity's side of the court, but at that moment, she managed to make a hard swing with her racket with a low hit, but there was a problem. She was too close to the net, and for that reason alone, the ball hit the net on her side of the court, giving Kayden another point.
KAYDEN: 30 - VELOCITY: 0
"Shoot! Not again!" Velocity wasn't liking this already as she glanced over at the scoreboard, only to see it change in Kayden's favor. She should've stayed away from the net. Otherwise, she could have gotten a point for herself.
Everything was settled and the match began once more. Kayden served the ball towards Velocity, whom returned the shot back towards the black wolf. Kayden moved forward before smacking the ball back towards Velocity. The rabbit stayed in her position before hitting the ball back to Kayen's side of the court. Kayden saw the ball flying away from him, so he quickly rode towards the ball and managed to smash it back to his opponent.
Velocity rode towards the center of the net again before slamming the ball back to her opponent. Kayden moved backwards before hitting the ball back towards Velocity again. The rabbit moved backwards before whacking the ball back to Kayden. The black wolf moved forward again as he whacked the ball back towards Velocity's side of the court. Velocity gripped her racket as she jumped in the air and slammed the ball, sending it rocketing towards Kayden's side of the court.
The wolf tried to hit the ball, but missed, as it bounced on his side of the court a couple of times before coming to a stop.
KAYDEN: 30 - VELOCITY: 15
Now it was Kayden's turn to look at the scoreboard, only to see it change in Velocity's favor. He then looked towards her, only to see her cheering to herself. He had to admit, he didn't see that shot coming. Now he had to be careful if she did something like that again.
Everything was already settled and Kayden served the ball towards Velocity again. Velocity retaliated by swinging her racket, sending the ball flying back in Kayden's direction. Kayden rode towards the flying ball and smacked it back to Velocity again. Velocity rode frontwards again as she hit the ball back to Kayden with a fast whack. Kayden managed to hit the ball by slamming it back to Velocity's side of the court. Velocity saw the ball about to fly away from her, but she wasn't going to let it get away as she rode towards it and smashed the ball with a hard whack, sending it flying towards Kayden at high speed.
Kayden narrowed his eyes as he was able to whack the ball, sending it flying back towards Velocity. The rabbit gritted her teeth as she winded up her arm again and smacked the ball back towards Kayden at a fast pace. Kayden managed to fight back by whacking the ball towards Velocity at a fast pace as well. The two exchanged swings with each other, as the ball kept flying back and forth in different directions.
This kept going on until Kayden made one more slam, as the ball went flying towards Velocity at high speed. The rabbit tried to hit the ball, but the ball hit Velocity in the stomach before dropping to the ground.
KAYDEN: 45 - VELOCITY: 15
Velocity recovered as she looked over at the scoreboard, only to see it change in Kayden's favor again. She frowned.
"Match Point!" The female referee shouted.
Now Velocity had to focus. Either she had to stay alive for a while longer, or she would be eliminated from the tournament.
Everything was cleared and Kayden served the ball again. The ball was flying towards Velocity as she whacked the ball back in Kayden's direction. Kayden stood in his position as he hit the ball back towards Velocity's side of the court. Velocity rode towards the flying ball and smacked it back to her opponent. Kayden moved to the side a little before smashing the ball back towards Velocity. The rabbit moved backwards before whacking the ball back towards Kayden again.
Kayden narrowed his eyes once more as he rode towards the net before slamming the ball back in Velocity's direction again. Velocity moved towards the middle of her court before whacking the ball towards Kayden. The black wolf moved backwards before whacking the ball back to Velocity. The rabbit started to sweat a bit, but she managed to hit the ball back to Kayden with a fast whack. Kayden was starting to seat a little too, but he managed to hit the ball back in her direction with his racket.
Velocity decided to try and give it everything she got. She jumped in the air and slammed the ball towards Kayden at high speed. Kayden returned the favo by hitting the ball with his racket, where again, the ball engulfed itself in flames, before flying towards Velocity. The rabbit saw the ball duplicating itself into three balls, so she quickly hit the one on the far left, which turned out to be a fake. So now she had one more chance. She hit the ball in the middle, but sadly for her, it turned out to be a fake too. The third ball landed on her side of the court before rolling to a stop.
"Game, Set, and Match!" The referee announced. "The winner of the match goes to Kayden Seyak!"
The crowd cheered for Kayden's victory. Velocity sighed in disappointment, seeing as how she lost the match. Now she wasn't going to face Maddy. Velocity was, then, approached by Kayden.
"Good match. You had on the ropes there for a moment." Kayden said to her, as he extended his hand to her.
Velocity looked at him before grinning. She took the hand and shook it back. "Thanks. But can you do me one favor?"
"What's that?" Kayden asked.
"If you go up against that girl named Maddy, you beat her for me, all right?" Velocity asked.
"If that match happens, then you got it." Kayden smirked a bit before taking his board and racket before heading out of the stadium, which turned back to it's original self. Velocity soon followed.
"In a good contest, Kayden manages to gain the victory, while Velocity is eliminated from the tournament. Now, we will take another fifteen minute break. But we will back with more matches heading your way, so stay tuned!"
Two more matches go by with Kiba and Kayden defeating Samson and Velocity. And with more players winding down, who will face who in the next rounds of matches? Will it still affect the tournament? And why do I keep asking the same questions? Find out on the next Sonic Riders: World Tennis Tournament!
