"Well if this doesn't take the biscuit then nothing does, not only are Dex and Chisao's opponents late but so is our referee!"
"The worst bit is that without a referee we can't announce the match as cancelled."
Chaud and Sarah rushed into the arena and Sarah grabbed the microphone she had left on the console during Mamoru's attack.
"We have an update on Mamoru's condition, he is ok and on the road to recovery!"
Lan and Mayl heard the entire arena sigh as they made their way to their seats.
"Now without any further delay, Jack In!"
"Jack In, BlastMan Power Up!"
"Jack In, GutsMan Power Up!"
"Jack In, ProtoMan, Empress Power Up!"
The five navis landed and Sarah signalled the start of the match.
"Go!"
Empress rushed at BlastMan and ProtoMan went for GutsMan. Empress kept going to use melee techniques but moving around the clones, ProtoMan used his CyberSword to keep GutsMan at bay.
"Wow, Empress and ProtoMan are in top form today, Empress hasn't even touched a BlastMan clone and ProtoMan isn't giving time for GutsMan to throw a punch!"
"I'm still worried about Empress, remember what happened last match with those clones."
"I'm sure Empress can handle a few Bombers, but not this amount."
The five navis were having trouble moving with the amount of clones there were, Empress hadn't even allowed him to put up a smokescreen. Suddenly the clones turned into Bomber viruses.
"Not good, with that amount I doubt even the pair of them can whittle them down."
"You'd best have had a good reason for this," said ProtoMan.
"You worry too much," said Empress, "I'm sure all of these want to do my bidding."
Empress cracked her whip. "Mind control!" she yelled. The Bombers stopped advancing.
"Uh-oh," said Chisao.
"Attack GutsMan!" said Empress. The Bombers turned towards GutsMan and started to advance.
"GutsPunch Download!" said Dex making his last mistake of the match. The first was thinking he had a chance.
"No big brother!" yelled Chisao as GutsMan attacked the viruses with the GutsPunch. Predictably, the viruses exploded.
"Stupid," said Empress.
"Now BlastMan," said Chisao, "Big Bang Blast!"
BlastMan clashed his hands and set the fuse on his head alight.
"WideSword Download," said Chaud slotting the chip in sounding almost bored.
ProtoMan equipped the WideSword and jumped at BlastMan cutting the fuse in half.
"Match over! The winners are Chaud and Empress!"
"Congratulations to our final team. We will have a short break before the final tag team match.
The navis logged out and Sarah tapped Chaud on the shoulder.
"Outside," she said nearly dragging him out.
Outside Chaud and Sarah stood looking at the stadium while sitting on some grass by the shore.
"I figured it out," said Sarah, "Not the plan but who's behind all this."
"Who?" said Chaud.
"DarkChip Syndicate Nebula," said Sarah, "It's impossible but everything points to them."
"But Regal was stopped," said Chaud, "How is it possible?"
"Regal was the leader?" said Sarah, "No way, we defeated the leaded but it was never a human."
"Scyler," said Chaud.
"She's the only one who could have modified the Devil Chip to make Ring a solo," said Sarah, "And the only one who could have created the DarkChips."
"But she claimed…" started Chaud.
"She's a DarkNavi," said Sarah, "They are evil, lying, cheating pains in the neck."
There was a moment of silence.
"Where's the 'Present company excepted'?" said Sarah.
"Oh sorry," said Chaud, "I kinda forgot."
"Forgot what?" said Sarah.
"That you were a DarkNavi," said Chaud.
"Good," said Sarah, "It shows I'm doing something right."
"I thought we deleted Scyler anyway?" said Chaud confused.
"She thought she'd deleted me remember," said Sarah, "Thing's aren't always what they seem."
The pair sat in silence.
"You got a plan Sarah?" said Chaud.
"Not a one," said Sarah, "Wish I did though."
"You're not the only one," said Chaud, "How's about you three?"
"No," said ProtoMan simply.
"Sorry," said Empress.
"How smart do you think I am?" said Scyler, "She and her Dad never gave me much info apart from that I must aid Sarah to defeat Scyler."
"We'd best get ready for the match," said Sarah, "We're as well prepared as we'll ever be."
The pair headed into the stadium to find that Lan and Mayl were already waiting.
"Let's do this," said Lan.
Sarah reached into her sleeve for the wire, she almost pulled the first one but remembered and reached a little further for the second.
"I wonder how long it will take them to notice?" she thought.
"If everyone is here, then Jack In!"
A/N:What! You expected more from a Dex vs. Chaud match?
