Webbuilder: Yes it was Sarah who managed to knock Tory out with a single slap. Do I need to explain why?
"And welcome to Day 2 of the N1 Grand Prix. As my usual co – host is in the ring during the next match we have a temporary replacement of Mayl from DenTech Academy."
"…"
"Come on Mayl, say something," whispered Higsby, "Or I'll give an announcement about your crush on Lan."
"You wouldn't dare," whispered Mayl.
"Wouldn't I?" whispered Higsby, "Ahem."
"Yes, I will be taking Ribitta's place during her matches in the tournament except in the event of ToadMan vs. Empress or Roll. Let's go to Sarah for the details of the navis in the first match."
"Nice save," whispered Higsby receiving a glare off Mayl.
"I should have no need to introduce anything major about the navis in today's match. Our first team is Ribitta and ToadMan, and their opponents are former WWW members Mr. Match and FireMan."
"FireMan is at a real disadvantage today against ToadMan."
"But as Tory showed us yesterday, never just take into account elemental differences when sizing up your opponent. A good strategy can overcome elemental loses."
"And Mr. Match has proven time and time again he's as unorthodox as they come."
"Come on then lassie," said Mr. Match, "Lets see if you can actually NetBattle."
"Bring it on," said Ribitta.
"Ok then, Jack In!"
"Jack In, FireMan, Power Up!"
"Jack In, ToadMan, Power Up!"
The three landed in CyberSpace, Sarah looked at the two navis.
"Begin!"
"Get her before she attacks!" yelled Mr. Match.
"Too late," said Ribitta, "Aqua Field BattleChip In, Download!"
The field changed to a large lake, although FireMan remained on top, ToadMan dived into the lake.
"Aqua Field?"
"Oh no, that's a very rare fieldchip. When used Aqua type navis can hide under the water and become invincible. If you notice both Sarah and FireMan have remained on top of the lake. Another side effect is that it acts like poison to fire type navis, constantly draining their power."
"FireMan," yelled Mr. Match.
"It's putting out my flame," yelled FireMan, "Do something!"
"Is there anything that can stop it?"
"Elec type chips can but I don't know if Mr. Match has any."
"That's it FireMan," said Mr. Match, "We have to give up this one."
He logged FireMan out of the system giving Ribitta and ToadMan the victory.
"And a great victory for Ribitta and ToadMan."
"I agree with that, a slow tactic but it worked."
Ribitta moved her way up to the announcer's booth upstairs. She stepped in and stood behind Mayl.
"You can go and get ready for your match now Mayl," said Ribitta.
"Oh," said Mayl jumping up, "I'm sorry Ribitta, I thought you weren't going to come straight up."
"No problems," said Ribitta, "But your match is next Mayl."
"Yeah, I'll go and get ready."
Mayl ran down and checked her chips were recharged on the way. Miyu stepped out from a corridor as Mayl ran past. Sarah came back up to get a drink.
"She can't lose Miyu," said Sarah, "If she does then our sources indicate that they won't go ahead with the plan."
"I know," said Miyu, "But I cannot step aside and let her win."
Miyu walked down towards the arena.
"Maybe she'll be stronger than you think," said Sarah to herself following Miyu, "Consider this a test of her abilities Miyu."
