Peter: What problem would that be?

Shane: It's a one-on-one tournament, which means we can all enter but…

Mizuki: There's a chance that we'll have to fight each other.

Vince: Fine with me.

Peter: I'd like to find out which one of us is the strongest.

Mizuki: I'd take ya all down, easy!

Shane: Well then… I'll go and sign us all up.

**Two Days Later**

The Blitz Team was sitting in the bar where the tournament would be viewed. They were waiting for the tournament to start. It was supposed to have some of the best young warriors fighting in it.

Bit: Anybody seen Tom and Cassandra?

Pierce: No.

Brad: They'll turn up.

          The Judge Capsule on the battlefield opened. The Judge turned around.

Judge: Area scanned. Battlefield set up. Tournament. Battle-mode 1100. Ready…

???: HOLD IT!

          The camera view shifted. On top of the Judge Capsule were Phantom and Shadow.


Phantom: You didn't explain the rules, Judge.

Shadow: There will be four starting fights. The winner of each round will move on. This will continue until there is a winner of the tournament.

          Phantom and Shadow threw down smoke bombs and disappeared. A few moments later Tom and Cassandra walked into the bar and sat down with the rest of the Blitz Team.

Judge:…FIGHT! Round one, Fight One! Vincent Cloud VS Trish DeTriz!

          Stats flashed up on screen.

Comments: Just starting out as a warrior

          The White Blade Liger stepped onto the battlefield and roared. The Cannon Tortoise crawled over and prepared to fight.

Judge: Begin!

          The Cannon Tortoise opened fire. The cannon's blasts were strong but easily avoided. The liger lowered its blades and charged forward. It sliced the cannon right off the Cannon Tortoise and the turtle-like zoid's command system froze.

Judge: Battle over. Vincent Cloud wins. He will proceed to the next round.

**Back at the Bar**

Leena: YEAH!

Bit: The kid's just like his father!

          Bit and Leena continued to cheer. Everyone else just rolled their eyes.

Judge: Round One, Fight Two! Mizuki Hunter VS Miles Powers

Comments: The No.1 student at Leon Taros's Zoid Training School.

 Judge: Begin!

          The Spinno-Sappa stepped forward and roared The saws were activated a brought forward. The Black Blade Liger didn't move. It just stood completely still.

          Mizuki's zoid charged forward and attempted to attack. Just before the saws connected with the liger, it was gone. The Spinno-Sappa turned around. The Blade Liger was behind it, blades down. It put its blades up and the Spinno-Sappa moved forward. A glowing yellow slash mark appeared on the Spinno-Sappa's left leg and the dinosaur-like zoid fell to the ground.

Judge:  Battle over. Miles Powers wins. He will proceed to the next round.

**Bar**

Brad: Now I'm worried.

Jamie: She wouldn't take losing that hard would she?

Naomi: It's not Mizuki we're worried about.

Brad: We're worried about what she might do to that Miles kid…

Judge: Round One, Fight Three! Peter Hermeros VS Wanda Stark!

Peter Hermeros

Zoid: Strike Ray

Team: Neo Blitz

Comments: Son of the two top ranked pilots for aerial zoids.

Wanda Stark

Age: 15

Zoid: Godos

Team: None

Comments: Known for cunning strategies.

          The Strike Ray hovered onto the battlefield and faced the Godos. The only weapon on the dinosaur-type zoid was a single cannon. Peter was slightly suspicious.

Judge: Begin!

          The Strike Ray took to the air. The Godos didn't do anything but turn around as the Strike Ray circled in the sky. Suddenly an image of the blonde, green eyed, large chested Wanda popped up in the cockpit of the Strike Ray.

Wanda: Ooh… my opponent is a cute one.

Peter:  *Blushes* Excuse me?

Wanda: I said you were cute. You look even better when you blush.

Peter: Uhh…thanks. You look nice too…

Wanda: I just love that tan, and the hair. I wonder…

Peter:?

Wanda: Is that your natural hair color? Wait, don't tell me. I'll have to find out for myself. How about tonight?

Peter: *turns completely red* Uhh…

BOOM

          The Strike Ray had been shot right out of the air. It smashed right into the ground and continued to grind and slid across the ground. It smashed into a mountain and a few rocks fell from above. The cockpit of the Strike Ray cracked and broke.
          A jeep sped onto the battlefield and almost crashed into the Strike Ray. Mizuki, Vince, and Shane jumped out and started digging. Some ZBC officials also rushed over. They started digging as well. Shane, being the smallest, fastest, and most agile, reached the Strike Ray's cockpit first. He pulled a few rocks away and opened what was left of the Strike Ray's cockpit.

          Peter was in bad shape. He was unconscious. Blood poured down hid face, arms and chest. His shirt was in shreds and his left arm was bent the wrong way. Shane reached in and unbuckled his friend. He struggled to pull the older boy out of the zoid. Vince climbed up next to him and gasped in shock. He then helped Shane lift Peter up. Mizuki climbed up next to them, shaking with worry. She jumped off the rocks. Shane and Vince carried Peter down to the waiting stretcher.

**Back at the bar**

          Jamie and Pierce had sprung up. Jamie went Wild Eagle and then he and Pierce charged outside. They hopped onto their motorcycles (Jamie doesn't have a motorcycle but Wild Eagle does) and rode off to the area where the battle was taking place.

          The rest of the Blitz Team looked at one another. Tom and Cassandra got up and sank into the shadows. A moment later, a dark shadow descended upon the bar. The Blitz Team rushed outside and a ladder lowered. They climbed up into the HammerHead, and the Shark-like transport flew off.

**Medic Tent at the Battlefield**

          Peter was set down on a bed and a doctor rushed over. They began to clean Peter up. Shane, Vince, and Mizuki ran into the tent.

A nurse pushed Mizuki and Vince out of the tent. Another pulled Shane over and began pulling the pieces of broken glass out of Shane's arm. Once the glass was gone, Shane's arm was wrapped in bandages. They tried to shove him out of the tent but gave up. Vince and Mizuki snuck back into the tent and sat down on a bed near the one that Peter was on.

**About thirty minutes later**

          The doctor had finished working on Peter. The 17-year-old was asleep on the bed. There was an announcement that the next match would be starting soon and Shane got up. As he left the tent Wild Eagle, Pierce, Naomi, Brad, Bit, Leena, Tom, and Cassandra walked in.

Judge: Round One, Fight Four. Shane Umbro VS Derek Owen

Shane Umbro

Zoid: Shadow Cat

Team: Neo Blitz

Comments: Son of Tom and Cassandra Umbro, warriors of the legendary Blitz Team.

Derek Owen

Zoid: Gun Sniper Demon Custom

Judge: Begin!

Shane: *Thoughts* Wow…I didn't think it was possible but that thing has more guns than Mrs. Cloud's Gun Sniper…*end thoughts*

Derek: I'm gonna blast you to oblivion!

Shane: *Yawn* Oh really?

Derek: DEMON TOTAL ASSAULT!

          Hundreds of missiles and cannon shells fired. The explosion was blinding. When the smoke cleared there was a crater as if a Judge Capsule had landed. The Shadow Cat was no where in sight.

Derek: Ha! It looks like I win!

Shane: Shadow Claw!

          The Shadow Cat fell from above. It sliced all the cannons, missile pods, and the left arm and left leg off the left side of the Gun Sniper.


Judge: Battle over! Shane Umbro Wins. He will proceed to the next round.

**Medic Tent**

          Shane walked into the tent and walked over to the still resting Peter. Pierce and Jamie were sitting on the bed next to Peter's. Tom and Cassandra were standing in a shadowed corner of the tent. Brad, Naomi, and Mizuki were drinking mugs of coffee on another bed. Bit, Leena and Vince were talking about Vince's upcoming match. Everyone (that wasn't unconscious) went silent and looked up.

Shane: How is he?

Jamie: His arm's broken and he has a few minor cuts and bruises.

Pierce: Right now he's just resting.

Shane: Good…

          Shane walked over to his parents and began talking to them quietly. There was an announcement that the second round would be starting in three hours.

Vince: I'm going up against another Blade Liger.

Mizuki: He's fast.

Vince: I'll beat him.

Shane: You'd better. I intend on fighting you in the finals.

Mizuki: You still have to get by Wanda Stark,

Shane: I can beat her.

Vince: I'd be careful if I were you. Wanda is the one who did this to Peter…
