BrnttsDoItBest: Well…let's just say Matt didn't really mean it. Hehe…tk and kari in a weird way?

As you may have seen in the updates, in my profile, it said I'd update this story in a week. But due to the fact that ALL the tickets to the dance competition were sold out, I didn't get the chance to check out any new dance moves I could add to this story. ( I wish I had so then it would boost my inspiration…seeing dancers in action! Haha…) So I hope you like the final chapter. More on the sequel will be at the bottom of this chapter… hope you like the finale ;)

NOTE: xxxxx means song change, in this chapter as well as the other future chapters containing songs

LIMITZ

..(CHAPTER 20/ Giving your all)..

Saturday Evening– Countdown: 1 day until the World Dance Competition

April the 22nd

Ken Ichijouji collapsed onto the floor. Sparkles of sweat soaked into his dark blue locks of hair and his piercing eyes gazed before him, watching the other dancers fall onto the ground in pattern. For the past week, they all had been aiming for complete perfection and kept training until there was not an incy bit of energy left inside of them.

All of the LimitZ dancers had wagged school to practice, with their 'valid' excuses. And as everyday flew by, regret filled them of how they "should have" practiced earlier instead of cramming the practice altogether at the same time. They had been poorly organized. It was certainly stressing their bodies hat Yolei had almost fallen head first to the ground (luckily Ken was there to catch her), and Kari almost sprained her ankle…but fortunately didn't. It was dangerous practicing in these conditions, it took a toll on every single one of them. And Sora couldn't help but say, " I told you so"…that they should have practiced earlier.

Currently, most of their moves had been perfected…yet there were parts of the dance that didn't run any close to smooth. Overall, the dance routine was okay…though they would have added more dance moves but they didn't have much time and wanted to stick to the practical and simple moves before moving on. But that was the thing…they couldn't move on…especially when they hadn't gotten all the dance moves correct.

Mimi and Taichi felt really bad and guilty when they would look at their friends for numerous hours, seeing how all of them were working their asses off while the pair were sitting back and lazily turning on and off the music.(Izzy would be playing their music at the competition). Meanwhile, Daisuke would be hanging around the house with JR and would pop in once in a while to check up on the dancers. Daisuke couldn't believe how good the group was…and was still trying to recover that Takeru could actually dance really well. But when JR and Daisuke got bored, they'd go to the mall, watch a movie, play bball or buy some good takeaway food for the LimitZ dancer's lunch.

Throughout the time, there were still the occasional arguments going on between the members of the dance crew. Though it was really strange when Ken and Yolei would fight, since they hardly did. The fights proved what pressure and stress would do to a group of adolescents.

"You've givin' it all you've got. Truthfully, I reckon we all, well not me and Tai anymore, would have done better if we didn't cram it all to last minute. You've probably all got everythin' from scratch, but you're all just too tired to execute the routine," Mimi sighed, breaking the tension and silence (Besides all of their mouths gasping for air). " I think it's best if all of you take a rest."

"I double that," Yamato said tiredly. " But shouldn't we just train a bit more! Just in case…"

"Even though you're completely exhausted," Tai sniggered. " You still are stubborn, Mr. Yamato."

Yamato cracked a grin at his best friend, but was too drained to reply back with a sharp comment.

Daisuke and JR tossed towels around to the six dancers.

"It'll take us a miracle to win this! Even getting in the top ten list is good enough for us, especially at our level in dancing right now. We're hopeless," Yolei stated doubtfully. " It's going to be strange…I don't know how I'm going to react on stage since it's going to be my first time…"

"Don't worry," Kari gave her friend a reassuring sideways glance. " When you go on stage, the lights flash so strongly that it completely blocks your audience. Though they can clearly see all the steps we do, we can't see them…"

"No, I mean…as in stuffing up…you guys are practically perfect," the lilac colored hair girl spoke. " I can't ace it that easily…"

"We won't stuff up, Yolei. It'll all be cool," stated Ken, giving his girlfriend a hurried embrace and got off from the floor. " JR, Lei, we'd better get goin' home. It's getting late. See you all tomorrow!"

"You'd better come early!"

The three gave their farewells to the rest of the people in the room and exited the Tachikawa Residence. Daisuke, Takeru, Hikari, Taichi, Mimi, Sora and Matt were too tired that they didn't bother to see them off. A while later, they all managed to gather the strength that they had left and left the basement preparing themselves for bed.

Instead of taking the route to her room, Sora turned to the kitchen having the urge to pour herself a pitcher of water but from what it seemed, someone had already bet her at it.

" Orange Juice. Water or Coke?" Takeru greeted her gesturing to the two the three bottles.

"Water please," she responded eyeing that the younger boy had poured himself a drink of coke. " Jeez TK, wouldn't you be dehydrated! Goodness sake! We've got a competition tomorrow…and you're drinking a soft drink? You're practically dehydrated from all the dancing we did, yet you use coke to drench your throat?"

"So what!"

Sora rolled her eyes, knowing it was hopeless to encourage him to stop drinking coke also noticing the similarity between the stubbornness of Yamato. Takeru held out the glass of water to her, and she accepted it, swigging it all down.

" You like pale. Paler than usual," TK eyed her curiously in observance.

" Probably just tired," Sora shrugged then patted TK on the back in a sisterly way then rubbed her eyes, "Thanks for the drink, get some rest won't you!"

"Yeah. You too! Sweet dreams, Sor!" he called after her as she vanished from his sight.

The auburn headed girl quietly snatched her pajamas from her bedroom (where Hikari was already sleeping) and directed herself into the bathroom. Sora exhaustedly undressed herself and went head first into the shower. She then turned on the shower, feeling some sort of serenity when she stared at the ceiling, sensing the rapid water droplets falling onto her face. She let a tiresome sigh escape her lips. She felt rather indulged cleansing up after sweating for the past hours.

The shower was the place where she could face herself and confront reality. When she'd be there, by herself, with no one else involved with her. Where she'd be alone and think things out without getting disturbed. But sometimes her thoughts would get the best of her…and instead of being alone and relaxed…things would sometimes get rather dangerous.

As she scrubbed shower gel onto her body, her eyes lurked down at the scars that had been dug into her arm and wrists. She winced as she watched her wounds opening up when she scrubbed, feeling the wounds ooze out more blood. She stopped the shower, dried herself and slipped into her scarlet orange autumn leaved pajamas.

Worries flowed continually in her head about everything…From her mother, the dance competition, everyone's usual arguments, the stress, the pain, the depression, Jezebel, the tears and Yamato… She was scared cause she was beginning to think that when the competition was over where she was to stay with, back in Odaiba.

Her legs began to shake under her, as if she were to lose her balance. She was worriedAfter all they had left America right after her mother's death and after the competition…she'd have to face being back in Odaiba…with all the memories of her mother and all the shit she had been through. She didn't know if she could cope with it anymore.

Her legs finally gave way, letting her fall and collapse into a bundle on the icy tiled floor. But her soul felt as if it fell lower. Tears streamed down like pools of blood. Like the streaks of blood that had came out whenever she would slit herself. She could still feel the wounds that she had scrubbed so hard slicing into her skin. She continued to cry and choke on her tears, the type of tears that made people uncomfortable. She was in pain. Both physically…and mentally… and it was slowly wearing her out, driving her to sanity… That's what happened to people who kept everything to themselves…

"Sora! It's Mimi! Are you finished yet! I'm going to take a shower right after you!" a voice boomed out, making her sit stilly on the ground. The person who the voice belonged to was obviously impatient at that certain period of time. " Hurry up!"

The girl gripped her hair frantically and eyes sped over the floor that had bits of her blood patched on the tiles, she quickly wiped it away with some toilet paper and threw the papers into the toilet bowl. She then hurriedly wiped her tears with her cream towel.

" Sora… are you alright? I thought a heard you fall on the floor, just then…" Mimi spoke behind the door. " If you don't speak soon I'm going to open the door! I might just do it…now"

The brunette headed girl thrust the door open to see Sora Takenouchi kneeling down on the floor. Her eyes were puffed red and she appeared to be in a vulnerable state. Mimi could tell that something was going on with her friend…

" I tripped," she instantly lied her excuse with a low hiss, not meeting her friend's piercing cinnamon eyes.

" You're crying. You've been crying," Mimi frowned, shutting the door behind her with a soft click. If Sora needed someone to talk to, it had to be her best friend, not concerning anyone else about the matter. She really needed to know why and what was wrong with her friend, even if Sora would become really pissed off at her pestering her. Mimi knew she hated attention and when she would force the truth or secrets out of Sora. But she had no choice…especially how she was doing

"I'm fine!" Sora snapped, but still gazed at the ground. She lowered her voice to a whisper, " Just…leave me…leave me alone…"

" I can't," the other person sighed, " I'm not leaving my best friend alone until she tells me what the hell's been going on! You've helped me out before Sora…now…I want to help you. Ever since we came here, I've been gradually drifting away from you and haven't been as close due to my problems. So it's sort of my fault that I've been a selfish bitch lately. But now that almost everything has been revealed about me…I think it's time I know what's wrong with you."

The auburn headed girl still silently stared at the ground, tears blurring her vision.

" You're bleeding!" Mimi suddenly screamed in worry. She hurriedly bent down and rolled Sora's right and left sleeve up. Sora stared at her arms, seeing that blood had already been smeared across her whole arm, she didn't bother to fight back…she was too weak and too tired for it…

" What the hell are you doing to yourself! When the hell did you start cutting to yourself?" Mimi muttered so fast that it was hard to pick up the words and curses that were slipping out of her mouth, eyes widening. " You should go to the doctors! Far out…how long have you been doing this without me knowing, Sora! What the fuck…what the fuck are you doing this for? Can't you see all the people who care for you! Fucking hell…!"

She sat there oblivious and quite embarrassedly.

"Okay," Mimi calmed down, but tears of worry blended with rage rolled down her flushed face, " I'm sorry for yelling…I didn't mean to…I'm just worried, girl! You could have at least put some medicine on those slits from getting infected instead of scrubbing the shit out of them and letting them bleed even morel. Please Sora, just talk to me…tell me what's going on…"

"I'm sorry Meems… you don't have to cry for me. I'm not worth it…but…how did you know?" Sora whispered, finally responding to her friend, but still not looking directly at her eyes. " That I was bleeding…"

"It was pretty darn obvious," Mimi frowned, hands on her hips. " Even though your pajamas were red, there were patches of a darker red on your sleeves only not on the rest of your pajamas. At first I thought it was a pattern, but then I saw that there were red spots on your towel…and you told me last week you had your rags…soo…"

"Darn, you're observant," she replied rather sarcastically.

" It's not funny, Sora! Even though I know you don't want me to bash it out of you…just tell me about what you're going through when you feel like, remember I'm always here. If it's Yamato, I'll bitch slap him all the way to Africa up a elephant's ass," Mimi smiled when she saw that Sora gave a tiny grin, but then became serious again, " I'd usually force you to tell me what happened…but I'm not going to, tonight…since you're competition's tomorrow. Don't know even how you can dance with all those cuts…"

"I manage."

"It's not fucking funny Sora!" Mimi repeated, frowning as she began to start treating Sora's cuts with bandages she had snatched from the bathroom's drawers. She tended to her, wrapping them around her arm carefully, until the whole job was complete.

"Thanks Mimi."

"Your welcome," she spat bitterly, " Next time…be a best friend and just tell me if you're feeling like shit, alright? You got it! I don't want to catch you taking it on by yourself ever again! I'm still pissed off that you've been doing this without me knowing. After almost two years of knowing you, I find out about this tonight…"

"I'm sorry," Sora cried, tossing away her confident and stern side and letting her tears flow down…she couldn't hold it back anymore and let her head collapse onto her friend's shoulder, as Mimi slid her hand up and down Sora's back in comfort and reassurance.

"Everything will be fine, Sora… you'll get through this. If not by yourself, with me…and your friends. Don't you ever forget thatever."

Meanwhile, upstairs the tension was evident through the whole entire bedroom belonging to the four adolescent guys. A figure got up from his bed and switched off the lit room, causing blackness to surround them with quite a strange and peculiar atmosphere.

"For once…I'm nervous…and anxious of how well we're going to perform…I don't feel confident one little bit," Takeru sat on his bed staring at his pillow, aware that Daisuke, Taichi and his brother were listening to him breaking the silence, " And…usually I've been so over confident and cocky when it's up to events like this…but somehow…I don't know…it's just all this cramming…I have a really bad feeling that we're going to do pretty shit."

"Instead of practicing our asses off, we've gone lazier," Yamato shrugged in agreement to his brother, feeling the guitar strings in the dark and strumming them softly, soothing his nervousness. " Don't worry TK…it'll all be cool."

"Yeah TP! You're going to win it!" Daisuke exclaimed with tease.

" Shut up, Dai!"

"Nah, you know why you all might slip up? It's cause I'm not going to be part of the team. If I participated we'd win for sure! The title will be under our belts!" Tai grinned toothily.

" Right, I do recall you being the one that got his leg shot up without thinking," someone spoke, though they weren't sure who the voice belonged to cause it was dark.

" Who said that?" everyone could feel Tai's temperature rising a bit.

No one dared to respond because they knew that they wouldn't hear the end to Tai's insults.

"I'll bash you all up!"

" I'd like to see you do that, my crippled friend," Yamato laughed.

"Sure! I'd beat you all with my crutches!" Tai growled threatingly.

" Whatever Tai, whatever," Matt rolled his azure emblazoned eyes as everyone chuckled to themselves in the room, lessening the nervous tension about the awaited following day. " We'd better see…how it's going to turn up before we start with conclusions."

" Let's get some rest for tomorrow," Takeru spoke up causing them all to be quiet, "Yeah, and I have a feeling that we're going to suck…big time…We need as much rest as possible."

Sunday Afternoon Countdown: 0 – The World Dance Competition (WDC)

April the 23rd

Re-rewind, when the crowd say Bo Selecta
Re-rewind,

when the crowd say Bo Selecta
Re-rewind,

when the crowd say Bo Selecta
Re-rewind


This goes out to all the DJ's

Ehh, yeah
Ehh, eh yeah
Ehh, yeah
Ehh
Ehh, yeah

The atmosphere was heated up, thousands of people were loaded throughout Royal Stadium just to catch a single glimpse or glance at the best dancers that the world offered. The LimitZ dancers were just about ready to strut their stuff. Performances had already begun and the crowds were cheering for each competitive group that danced to their routines on the large stage. Video cams were positioned in various places, recording the important event and flashes of cameras blended with the colorful lights, which flashed around the whole stadium. The crowd's cheering was absorbed by the loud music beating on the vibrating speakers. The surrounding was pumping everyone up with excited adrenaline.

While on the back stage, the remaining contestants were getting prepared, trying their best to not get too nervous that they stuff up when they perform and counting down the minutes they would have to participate in the tournament.

The LimitZ dancers had almost missed their cab to arrive at their location since the traffic to the venue was a huge amount. This led a bad start to the crew becoming even more nervous.

"Yo Matt!" a red headed boy walked towards him, looking rather nervous himself. The red headed boy gazed directly at the blond haired boy. " I got the music all ready, where the hell do I go, man?"

" On the other side, just wait behind the other DJ," Yamato Ishida tilted his head crookedly towards the line on the opposite side of the backstage area.

"Thanks, good luck bro," Izzy smirked, giving the taller guy a pat on the back for luck.

"You too mate. It's about time you get some publicity! You're good, and you know it," Matt winked, laughter playing in his eyes. " Have fun."

" Back at cha!"

Matt turned around to face the rest of his group, all pale and nervous. Usually, they were more cool and refreshed about performing…but everything was completely different now. Yolei and Ken had replaced Tai and Mimi and they had crammed every routine last minute, scaring the shit out of everybody and making them anxious and less confident than they usually would be. The tension was incredible.

Though, Yamato was happy (more like relieved) about one thing. Tai and himself had managed to persuade the girls to let the guys wear all black, while the girls would wear all red. The convincing wasn't that hard, since the girls were already stressed and didn't want to cause a fight and screw up their training…it just wasn't worth it…when they were at such a tight position at that time. So more or less, it was used to his advantage.

Hikari Kamiya was dressed in red casual basketball shorts with a red sports crop top, displaying her bellybutton and had a red headband draped around her brown hair. Yolei's attire included a long strapless silk top and a darker shade of red three quarter pants, with half her hair plaited in cornrows and the other half fell loosely onto her shoulders. While Sora wore red slacks with a matching tight tank top with her auburn colored hair flaring out in her usual hairstyle.

Ken Ichijouji was wearing a baggy black shirt and black jeans, having a ebony bandana wrapped around his head so that his blue hair wouldn't fall across his face when dancing. Matt wore a pair of black slacks, a black polo shirt and his hair was gelled in spikes. Lastly, TK was dressed in matching, but black, basketball shorts as Hikari and had a black singlet on with his black cap positioned a bit towards the right side of his head.

In support, Mimi and Tai were in the front row with Mimi wearing a dazzling red dress and Tai wearing a suit (though it did look strange with his crutches, but Mimi made him put it on anyway…just for a joke). JR and Daisuke stood next to them, watching eagerly at the dancers currently performing and mingling with the crowd of cheering people having a few side glances to check out some of the girls, and female dancers.

1 , 2 , 3 , 4

The numbers repeatedly and continued on until a group of dancers hitted it off on stage.

4, 3 , 2 , 1

xxxxx

(Yeek-Yeek Woop-Woop) Why you all in my ear?

Talkin' a whole bunch a shit that I ain't tryin to hear.
Get Back!

Motherfucker You don't know me like that.
Get back!

Motherfucker You don't know me like that!


(Yeek-Yeek Woop-Woop) I ain't playin' around..

Make one false move, I'll take you down.


Get back! Motherfucker You don't know me like that.


Get back! Motherfucker You don't know me like that!

The music was fast. And the dancers were…matching the beat ever so rapidly in equal timing. As the audience noticed that there were only four people on the stage. (Three boys and one girl) One by one, everyone in the crowd watched curiously as they grooved about like robots in absolute unison, not making a single mistake when they performed the moves. It was perfection.

Xxxxx

All the girls that feel me say okay...

in the club u hear me say okay feeling good,

feeling great I look good don't hate.

If
the fellas feeling good say oh yeah and if your

liking what u do say oh yeah...feeling good..

(okay)
okay (okay) okay (okay) …

u got the drink, get another one make him pay for it

...put it in the air and say okay

(okay) okay
(okay) okay (okay) okay (okay)..

They rocked on the balls of their feet and readjusted to the music displaying extremely difficult moves, awing the crowds of people. Out of the four dancers, the girl was probably the best since she was very flexible. Even JR caught Daisuke shaking his hands mimicking the word, " hot" above the levels of cheers and shouting going on around them.

" At least they gotta accept that they ain't the winners now. But I know they're still going to give our all," A new voice yelled over the beating music towards Taichi and Mimi.

"DREW!" Mimi squealed. She ran towards her friend and gave him a hug, before socking him in the stomach, " IDIOT! You could have at least told me you left! Didn't even say a goodbye, moron!"

"You're the same, I guess," he laughed.

Tai offered an uneasy smile eyeing the boy. His features were still the same and he still carried the same loyalty and sincerity that had made him once jealous when he had met him. " Hey Drew."

" You Tai!" Andrew captured a glimpse of the brunette over Mimi's head, which was still gripping to him tightly in a huge embrace. He held a knowing glance with a grin covering his face, releasing the hug. "Nice to see you, man. Your girl packs a huge punch, you know."

"Yeah, my girl," Tai repeated stiffly, staring down at Mimi who was sending glares at each of the boys.

" Oh Puh-lease, I'm no one's girl!" she rolled her eyes, " I'm my own person."

" The competition's pretty tight right now, ay?" Andrew sighed staring at the group still dancing, " That gang is called Detour. They're damn good…I haven't really seen your group perform before together, though I have seen a couple of you guys dance before… but this group is pretty tight to win against. I wonder if LimitZ can beat them!"

"I'm not sure. We've noticed," Mimi sighed. " And they're not the only tight competition around."

"True," Tai agreed eyes wandering back to the 'Detour' crew as their speed increased dramatically…over the limits he would ever wish to go over.

But he knew LimitZ wasn't the type of group that gave in that easily…

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

xxxxx

Let's get it crunk, we gon' have fun


Up on in this, dance for me


We got ya open, now ya floatin'


So you gots to dance for me


Don't need no hateration, holleratin'


In this dance for me


Let's get it percolatin', while you're waiting


So just dance for me

"They're good," she whispered peaking over the shoulder of Takeru whom was on the side of the stage, observing the dancers as well.

"Yeah," TK frowned. He frowned because he knew that if they trained more hard they would have been able to mount over the crew instantly, and now they were trapped in a difficult position. He loathed the taste of regret. Yet he still tried to make things positive, since no one was making the effort to, " Don't worry, Hikari, we'll be cool."

" We could of beat them if…" she trailed.

"And we still can," Yolei cutted off with a sneer. " Easy as pie."

"If you say so," TK shrugged doubtfully at the older girl.

" I'm always right."

" Ha," Ken sniggered coldly.

"All of those guys are break dancing, and even that girl…she tops them all," Yamato spoke, a hint of stress coming out of his tone of voice.

"We'll be fine," Sora concluded, following TK's decision in thinking positively. " We'll do okay…"

"We'd better," Ken stared at the crowd applauding to the group – Detour - whom were getting off the stage. " Cause it's our turn to become dull, or shine like stars. Let's git this over n done wit already…!"

" What a gay comment," Kari had to state with a sly sneer at Ken. " Or I should say, retarded."

"Then let's do this shit," Yolei announced, though every member had already taken their positions.

It was finally time…

('º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º''º¤¤º')

The crowd remained silent, staring at the stage in wonder for the next professional dance crew to come up. The DJ stood on the side of the dance floor, hands shaking nervously as a thick smoke appeared blocking everyone's view of the stage. Seconds later the fog had moved, still figures stood positioned there, feet appearing as if they were glued onto the floor and their heads where facing the completely opposite direction… until it began…

LimitZ Loading…

Loading LimitZ…

LimitZ Loading…

Loading LimitZ…

L I M I T Z !

They all moved mechanically to the beat that Izzy mixed. With every beat they moved, then stopped and proceeded to do this method until the song started…

I – I – I – I wanna see you move your b-body like a snake

I – I – I – I wanna see you move your b-body like a snake

The guys remained frozen to their positions as the girl turned around to face the thousands of people, ready to perform their dance moves.

xxxxx

You and I in the room so dark


Hold me tight all nite lights off


Kiss me everywhere I can never dream boy

It's like heaven, heaven

The girls trailed around their frozen guy partner and pushed them to the floor, yet the boys still remained still. They then began to dance in a line, with their feet rapidly playing their footsteps and arms doing the same movements in the precise timing.

Boy, want you put the needle on the record (Turn Da Lights Off)


And lets get closer then closer then most (Turn Da Lights Off)


I think we can get to know each other better if we (Turn Da Lights Off)


And lets grab a glass lets make a toast wit me (Turn Da Lights Off)

Their hearts throbbed against their chests like static while the blinding light tried its best to subdue their nervousness.

"Let loose, stay cool," Yolei soften a reassuring yell so that only Sora and Kari could hear her.

In an instance, they chilled out a bit and relaxed. Instead of their moves being robotically, it became much looser and casual, the way they should have been dancing in the first place. They constructed more difficult moves that were originally made by them as their trade mark, showing their signature move the three did backwards flips and jumped back from the floor, sliding on their left then to their right.

Yolei was located in the middle of the girls now, doing a classical dirty dance move that Kari had caught her with Ken. (It was decided to be put in the routine just to simply tease the couple. The couple accepted it, playing sport with the LimitZ group.) While Sora and Kari just eased their adrenaline and excitement by bouncing along to the music with a small simple crip walk.

Xxxxx

D-d-don't mess with my man,

I'ma be the one to break it to ya


Got my girls, got my man,

so find your own and leave mine alone


Don't mess with my man,

I'ma be the one to break it to ya


Here's a little advice for you,

find your own man

As if following the lyrics, the girls went back to their partners at the farther end of the stage where they had pushed them over and circled them.

Don't mess with my girl,

I'ma be the one to break it to ya


Got my niggas, got my girl, so find your own and leave mine alone


Don't mess with my girl,

I'ma be the one to break it to ya


Here's a little advice for you, find your own girl

As soon as the next verse of the tune had come on, the guys stood up in unison grabbed their partner by the waist, spun them around and threw them to the side of the stage, it was evident it was their turn to perform and give it all they had. While the girls had replaced the still state as the boys had been earlier.

xxxxx

Shake it like a salt shaker


Tremble like a vibrator


Shake it like a salt shaker


Tremble like a vibrator


I'm a tell ya how to cause an attack


Timbaland, Ladies Love on the track

With skill, the three moved closer to the front of the stage as they showed off their tricky dance style. And then, Takeru bumped into Yamato causing Izzy to hold the music, making the stadium quiet for a second…

Hold up!…hold up!

Ken flipped backwards as TK and Yamato faced each other, as if they were competing a brotherly rivalry tournament.

Ready set…and go!

xxxxx

Lovely get the ice, pop champagne


Don't forget I used to ride on the train


When I bump it right, call my name


Go crazy in the mall wit

James
Dump that, not ill like me


Bring the women in to chill for free


Let me tell ya girl, don't try me


You better have I.D.!

It started off with Yamato doing a rave stance then suddenly spinning onto his head, he then jumped back up with extreme ease and motioned his brother to bring it on. From then, the people had caught up, that the act was just part of the routine…making the crowd cheer even more louder, strumming the ears of the LimitZ dancers and filling them up with a much larger inspiration.

In battle stance, TK copied the exact same move as his brother (spinning on his head) and then added another move, quickly balancing from two hand with his feet dangling in the air. One of his hands supported the whole weight of his body, and his other hand was hanging in the air. He balanced it out for almost thirty seconds before he dropped to match the beat of the song. The crowd cheered.

"GO TK!"

TK gave a swift glimpse at the crowd to see Daisuke, he suppressed a grin and continued on focusing on the dance routine. There would be time for celebrating later…

When we be up in the club


We be posting the back


When we be in the club


Girl always come to the back


And we bout to get our head sprung


And we bout to get our head sprung


And we bout to get our head sprung


And we bout to get our head sprung

Ken flipped back in the middle between the two siblings and held his hands out in front of Yamato and Takeru to stop battling.

L-Ladies and gentlemen…

L-L-L-Ladies and Ge-Ge-gentlemen!

As soon as 'ladies and gentlemen' had been played on Izzy's Remix, the girls joined in with the dancing and continued till the music began to fade. When the song had ended, they stood frozen in their positions, being covered up in the thick smoke once again, but this time the crowd was screaming, yelling and cheering like hell as they left the stage.

"And that's it from all of the dancers! Great job LimitZ for closing the match! Hold on a minute, and the judges will tally up the marks and the results will be distributed to you, shortly!" the commentator announced aloud as the crowd proceeded in cheering.

" Sweating like a pig," Sora announced using her red wristband to wipe the sweat off her as the group followed her direction into their dressing room.

"Ain't we all?" laughed a person from the Detour group. " Well done. But I'm disappointed."

Yolei raised an eyebrow and Ken gave her a warning look not to lose her temper seeing that she had her hand quivering ready to send a slap across that person's face, " And what do you mean by that!"

"Just implying that I thought you'd all be more of a competition. Cause before when I watched the previous competition, you guys were pretty good. What happened? I know you could have done better, you should have brought it on…then it would have been much more fun."

" Shut the fuck up and stop being a cockily lil shit headed bastar-." Yolei never got to finish her insult.

"Ajay, shut up!"

The group turned around to see the only girl from Detour cover the younger boy's mouth, " Mind my younger brother, he's a bit of a dickhead at times."

"Your brother!" Ken questioned suspiciously staring from the younger sibling to the other one.

"That's right."

"Well, you guys did pretty great. Wouldn't be surprised if you win it. I even admit that we did a simple easy crap performance," Kari sighed with TK and Yolei glaring at her. She shrugged the glares aside. " What? I'm just telling the truth."

" Hmm…good luck, and may the best win," Yamato spoke for the girl and her younger brother that were both members of Detour.

"Thanks."

TK gulped down some cold water and walked back to the side of the stage.

"Guys, he's about to announce…" Kari exclaimed.

" The top 10 is – Lovable!" a group of giggling girls rushed onto stage, making Yolei want to cover her ears from their sequels of delight making every one of the LimitZ dancers, including Detour, burst into laughter.

" What teeny boppers," Sora murmured, " It's like. Oh My Gawd!"

This caused the group to laugh even more.

It continued like this until it got to the last three groups to be announced. The only two groups left was LimitZ, Detour and Azure. One of those groups would be going home with nothing, while the others would either come first or second. The tension was rising. The commentator began to speak yet again.

"And second runner up is … LIMITZ!" shrugging, and not extremely happy, but satisfied that they even made it second, the crew ran to the stage and the roar of cheers fumbling in their ears. " As well as winning 25,000!"

" Azure is next winning $30, 000 for being the second runner up! Lastly leaving…DETOUR! WELL DONE! They'll be leaving us with 40,000!"

Detour went on stage accepting their trophy and money.

"Well done," the LimitZ dancers congratulated each of the Detour members. Even though they were not entirely happy that they hadn't won, they still were glad that decent people had won…not over all a cocky group with a large group.

"Thanks…if it hadn't been for you guys…we probably wouldn't have trained to our limits," the Detour girl smiled, then laughed when she realized she said the word "Limits."

"What do you mean trained to your limits? You've done it all on your own," TK commented.

"NO…what I mean…we've seen you perform on television a couple of times…and being like you was our ultimate goal. Without you guys, we wouldn't have achieved this…thanks."

"You're welcome," Yolei poked her tongue out cheekingly.

" I gotta go," she said, " I'll see you next time…and next time you'd better train harder, cause I can tell that you've slacked and haven't used your full capacity of being LimitZ dancers."

"So true," Kari laughed, " Later…uh"

"It's Jasmine."

" Adios Jasmine!" Sora waved.

"Bye!"

The girl left leaving the LimitZ dancers to stare at each other in wonder, making them think more about the future and their aims to become the greatest group ever.

"She's hot," TK commented.

"Next time, I'm not leaving everything last minute," Matt commented. "Argghh…we were so close…damn it."

"Fucking hell," Sora cursed, through a laugh. " Oh well that's just life, ain't it!"

"Guess it is," Mimi joined in, bringing Taichi, Daisuke, JR and Andrew behind her. "Let's celebrate, alcohol and parties make everyone happy, don't they!"

"That's what we're born for," Tai winked, " Picture me dancing with these crutches, won't I look damn sexy? I'm going to turn all the chicks on."

" Keep wishing bro, keep wishing," Kari grinned.

" I support that Kari," Andrew piped in. " It will look disgusting."

"ANDREW!" The LimitZ dancers exclaimed in realization that their old friend was there, whom they hadn't seen in quite a long time. A lot of catching up would have to be done with their new company.

It was going to be a long night…

Even though the LimitZ hadn't exactly won, what mattered is that they were a huge big family…but it didn't last long…they still had a lot ahead of them. What do you expect when you have a angst group prone to fighting!

I'm done. Yay. Lol . My longest story ever… it was a fun journey (and I guess it's not the end), and I attempt to continue it as soon as a edit the whole LONG story once again, then I shall begin the sequel. I already got a list of plan going to happen. And if you thought this was angst? Let me show you the true meaning of it (evil grin). I was about to write more on this chapter, but I realized I didn't want to overdo it and to make it have a simple ending. I also wanted to avoid the cliché of them winning. I know this last chapter wasn't really good…but I have my reasons for it…including how I have rare time these days to sit on my computer and contribute my thoughts into my stories. Before I release the sequel, I'll probably send an email of the summary. Sorry (again) for taking long to update…just too much stuff going on at the moment. Take care, hoped you liked it, and PLEASE review…since this is your last chance you'll get to in this story. Lots of love

Thanks to ANIT even though I'm not sure if she's reading this anymore.
