Chiron cleared his throat; everyone in the crowed looked at him, all of the fighters awaited for Chiron to say something. Chiron looked down and felt a little embarrassed; he cleared his throat again and began to speak.

"It has come to my attention that I skipped over a fighter, err I apologize for that." Said Chiron embarrassed, "Anyway Armin Zimmerman who do you wish to challenge?"

"Its ok sir I get that a lot." Responded Armin chuckling, "And I wish to challenge Jake Jones."

"Jake Jones son of Auster do you accept?" Asked Chiron

"I do." Responded Jake

As the other competitors left the arena, Aaron walked over to Diana and took her hand she looked at him and smiled. The other competitors gave them looks, Aaron looked back at the two competitors who were about to duel and smiled.

"This is going to be a good one." Aaron said, "Both of them available to use the wind as weapons."

"Yeah you're right." Responded Diana

"I'll meet you inside ok I have to go apologize to someone." Aaron said

"Who?" She asked

"Natasha, I called her a slut." Responded Aaron shyly

"Yeah you should." She said back

Mean while in the arena the match had began Armin swiped his staff and a gust of wind move towards Jake, Jake also swipes and he makes his own gust of wind. Both of the wind attacks meet in a brutal collision creating a small tornado where they met. Armin takes to the sky and swipes' again sending more wind slashes at Jake, Jake also takes to the sky evading the attacks and flies towards Armin. Jake with his celestial bronze sword slashes at Armin who blocks the attack with his staff. Jake summons the southern winds and blast Armin with huge wave of wind, Armin gets blown back, but manages to go above the strong southern wind and sends a strong wave of wind of his own which sends Jake back. The two boys then create a tornado around them and fly towards each other; they clash weapons and the wind around them sends of a huge blast that shakes the arena. The small tornadoes around the boys grow, engulfing the boys. The now large tornadoes clash sending gust of violent winds everywhere.

In the recovery room Aaron Madison walks in and sees Natasha Ann Scott, he walks towards her and he notices that Derrick James was in the bed next to hers. Derrick however was asleep as he got closer, Natasha sees him and she gets an evil look on her face. Aaron shyly pulls a chair by her bed and starts fiddling with his thumbs.

"I came here to apologize, it wasn't my intention to call you a slut but to be fair you were crushing me with a giant tree branch hehe, all jokes aside I'm sorry I'm really am." Said Aaron

"Why are you bad to my brother?" asked Natasha forcefully

"I'm not; he takes everything personal that's a big flaw it could get him killed." Said Aaron, "This is a competition you can't take things here personal, I was going to challenge him but what would be the point it would only make things worse, I was going to accept his challenge but it would only make things worse. He would've lost and this thing he thinks is going between us would get worse."

"Then why did you behave badly with him, like you were antagonizing him?" Asked Natasha

"Maybe because I was, we all have roles to play, life is like a big play and we, we are just actors in this big stage we call life. We were born with roles or given them, I was given the role of the bad guy, not an evil bad guy but like someone you should avoid a bad influence bad guy, and I accepted it and I play it well." Explained Aaron

"That's a sad way to look at life." Said Natasha

"I guess it is, I never knew my biological mother I was adopted by a goddess and she loved me like a mother although she didn't have to, I never knew a home or had friends we lived on the road traveling the country never staying in one place sleeping in cheap motels or in the car at the side of the road when there was no town near by, and when I came here I thought that would all change, I was wrong. I may have a place to stay now but no one to talk to, no one to be friends with, you all avoid me." Said Aaron, "So maybe life is sad, but I wouldn't change anything I love my mother Eris, I love my father and I now have Diana life is beginning to look good for once."

Aaron smiled and got up Natasha felt guilty she never knew about his life before camp no one did, as Aaron walked out of the room Derrick turned and faced his sister he had been awake the whole time listening to their conversation, as much as Natasha was feeling guilty Derrick felt it more.

Back in the arena the two tornadoes surrounding the boys had subsided, leaving two tired and sweating boys behind. Jake charged at Armin, Armin summoned a gust and blew Jake back that attack left Armin light headed. Armin's magical energy was running low sooner or later he would burn out; Jake on the other hand quickly got back on his feet and with the winds flew towards Armin. Armin seeing no choice charged at Jake spinning his staff gathering as much wind around the staff as possible and when the two wind boys met a huge violent explosion of wind blew the two boys back hitting the walls of the arena; the whole crowd felt a wave of wind hitting them almost getting them off their feet.

The two boys laid on the ground, the crowd screamed of excitement they stood on their feet and seeing that neither of the boys was getting up they began the countdown.

10…9…8 nothing was happening the boys were seemingly knocked out

7…6…5 Jake begins to move, he slowly drags his body against the wall to help himself to get up.

4…3…2 Jake falls down face first, mean while Armin using his staff begins to get up, slowly but surely getting up.

1… Armin falls down on his back.

0… neither of the boys have gotten up, both of the boys are still on the ground the crowd is excited still cheering and roaring, and since neither of the boys got up it is considered a draw but unfortunately neither of the boys goes through. The crowd doesn't care they just witnessed the most intense and thrilling match, they enjoyed every crazy moment of it.

Back in the locker room Aaron sees Damian Cross and notices that his leg isn't completely healed, Aaron knows that the leg will affect Damian in the competition and will cost Damian a chance to compete in the championship. As Aaron and the other competitors go back to the arena to find out what the next match be, Damian limps out with out a word or a wince of pain.
