Hello again. Usual disclaimer, and plz R&R. enjoy.

In the morning they headed strait for the African stadium. The team were automatically entered in all tournaments. It was a little difficult, but they managed. TK stood leaning against a wall listening to the others, who were feeling a little uncomfortable about battling each other. But considering that she hadn't been a bladebreaker for long, she didn't have the friendship bond that they shared. They were all prepared, but concerned. All, that is, but Kai who didn't seem too bothered about battling the others, as usual. They were all told to enter the main area, where they would find out our block. There were about 60 other bladers in the tournament.

' Okay,' the voice of Jazzman spoke loudly,' we have 6 blocks; A to F. Ten bladers will be in each block. We will now announce the bladers in each block.

They all went to the changing room and waited for the announcement of the first round. Tyson was excited about getting back into the sport and Kenny was franticly trying to give him some advice. They all watched Tyson win block A, with Sam Harrison second. Then Max did the same in block B, Francesca Sonny coming in second. Kai was also victorious, Kari Stardust behind him. Rei won but was closely followed by Mai Mercury, and Taka wiped everyone out but the closest to her skill was Adrian Frankston. In block F, Kane Land won with Lucile Ashton second. They were all ready for the quarterfinals, but were a little nervous.

' Well, hear goes nothing,' Tyson said as he walked forward to find who his next opponent would be.
