Chisao gave Dex a big grin.

"Now BlastMan," yelled Chisao, "Big Bang Blast!"

BlastMan bashed his hands together to create a spark, he lifted the spark to the fuse above his head and lit it.

"I'm off," said Sarah as she Jacked Out. She picked up the microphone by the Jack In port.

"BlastMan's Big Bang Blast is a devastating attack leaving BlastMan with barely enough energy to fight. However it has an enormous range and all BlastMan's excess energy and health are put into the attack making it one of the most devastating attacks ever."

"If Dex can block the attack then he may just win it," said Lan.

"In case you haven't noticed Lan," said Mayl, "Sarah who can use the DarkAura has Jacked Out."

"Stranger things have happened," said Lan, "I mean, he made it to the second round in the last N1."

"Good point," said Yai, "But this is Dex we're talking about."

"Hey Dex," said GutsMan, "GutsMan's got the plan."

"You have a plan?" said Dex, "Well I don't so just go for it."

GutsMan ran up to BlastMan and started to use his great fists to try and climb up to BlastMan's fuse.

"I get it!" said Dex, "Here GutsMan, this may help." Dex downloaded an AirShoes chip.

GutsMan's feet went from under him but when he got his balance back he used the boost to try and jump up to the fuse on BlastMan's head.

"Of course the one defect with the attack is that BlastMan cannot move while the attack is charging up."

"And it looks like Dex is going to stop the fuse from reaching BlastMan."

"If he does it should disable BlastMan!"

On his third attempt GutsMan landed on BlastMan's head and started to tug at BlastMan's fuse.

"Can GutsMan pull out the fuse before the flame reaches BlastMan."

The flame slowly crept through GutsMan huge hands towards the hole in BlastMan's head where the fuse connected. Even though the arenas air conditioning was on full Dex found himself sweating.

"Pull GutsMan, Pull!" yelled Lan.

A steady chant of GutsMan rose from the crowd.

"Listen GutsMan," said Dex, "They're all cheering for you!"

"GutsMan got Guts," said GutsMan as the flame just reached the hole. The flame crept through the hole but GutsMan's pigheadedness made him keep pulling when.

"Pop," went the fuse as it came out with the flame just going down the last few centimetres. GutsMan lost his balance and fell to the floor.

"Way to go Big Brother!" said Chisao.

"You're not upset you lost?" said Dex.

"No way," said Chisao, "I got to see my Big Brother win a match for the first time."

"Come here you little brat," said Dex chasing Chisao around the arena. When he caught him he picked him up and gave him a big hug.

"Let go Big Brother," said Chisao, "You're crushing me."

"And with that display of brotherly love and sportsmanship the winner goes to Dex for disabling BlastMan by pulling out his fuse forcing BlastMan to wait forever for his attack to charge up."

"GutsMan won," said GutsMan.

"Of course you did," said BlastMan.

"I thought you were disabled," said Dex.

"When the match is declared over the computer automatically repairs the navis," said Chaud from the entranceway where he stood all the way through the last N1, "I thought you would at least have known that." Chaud got up and walked away.

"Come back here you big jerk!" yelled Dex.

"Let him go," said Chisao, "You have to celebrate Big Brother."

"You're right," said Dex watching Chaud walk off, "We still have to celebrate my victory."

Dex and Sarah walked up to the group in the seats where all their friends sat. He'd barely arrived down before everyone started jumping on him and congratulating him and Chisao on the match. He told them about Chaud's comments after the match as well.

"Ignore him," said Lan, "You've got bigger things to worry about, mainly how you're gonna beat me and Mayl in the second round."

"He's still got to get there first," said Mayl, "Both of us have yet Lan."

"You worry too much Mayl," said Yai, "Relax, you'll both make it. You still have your secret weapon remember."

"True," said Mayl, "Too true."
