A/N: Some of the events I have speeded up because surely you don't want to read every single detail that happens as that would be extremely boring and long (I've cut a lot out of this chapter so I know). Even with the cut downs I had to split this chapter into 2, I'm just a detail freak.

Most of the teams had arrived at the La Illusion, and had spread out around the fairly large bar as they awaited the rest of the teams to show up. Sally and Elizabeth King's waitresses had taken over the duties that King normally handles herself.

"Any problems last night?" King asked Sally

"No, things have been going well" Sally replied

"No, no problems, well if you don't count Ralf and Clark" Elizabeth giggled

"What did they do this time?" King sighed

"She's messing around, they didn't do anything... neither one got drunk which must be a record" Sally said

"Probably trying to hide it from their commander, competing in the pool?" Elizabeth asked

"Of course I am, we have a lead and I intend to defend it" King then heard the door open and her eyes cast over to see Kensou arrive but without Chin, Athena or Malin which she thought was strange but merely shrugged it off, Jhun then walked over to Kensou and said something to him, Kensou didn't reply and walked away.

"What's up with him?" Jhun asked even he was surprised by his reaction

"What did you say to him?" King said accusingly

"Hey don't put this on me, I just wondered where Athena was" Jhun raised his hands in innocence

"You think there are in team problems?" King asked

"Could be... maybe he doesn't like the new girl or something... if it was an attractive guy I'd understand... as he's so defensive over Athena but I dunno... well good luck in pool" Jhun then went back with his team to catch Choi trying to peek up Chizuru's dress while she talking to Mary. Jhun went off to put some quiet justice into Choi.

The door opened again and the Fatal fury team had arrived. Heidern took the front of King's bar near the counter to make further announcements.

"I'm taking sign ups for pool and darts now but keep in mind, the same person cannot enter both events and only one person from each team for either pool or darts" Heidern said as the rest of the psycho solider team entered quietly and sat at a table "However to make it interesting the top 4 teams can't compete in both events, so will have to choose which event they won't register for. The top 4 teams are currently the Woman's team, the fatal fury team, our own Ikari team and the Korea team" Heidern said

Murmurs filled the teams as they had to choose which events they'd compete in.

After the teams registered Heidern put up who was competing in what on the wall.

Pool          Darts

Robert       Rock

Jhun           Yuri

King           Leona

Whip          Diana

Kensou       Chin

Benimaru     Iori

Billy            Geese

Ash             Duo Lon

Both events would work on a 1 on 1 tournament basis... losers would go to the losers bracket to see who gets the wooden spoon, while the semi finals would be played out to see who goes to final. The winners from the losers bracket would play no further as they were secure from avoiding last place, while the losers from the winners bracket would play for the bronze and aluminium, and the losers in the losers bracket would play for the unwanted wooden spoon. Obviously winners in the winners bracket would play for the gold and silver.

The first round of pool was set up

Whip vs. Billy

King vs. Benimaru

Kensou vs. Ash

Jhun vs. Robert

"Now Billy, when you are in trouble knock the white ball into the top right pocket on purpose" Geese instructed

"Why?" Billy asked

"Because Gato will make a quick switch for a ball that can be guided into your opponent, mainly aimed towards their eye" Geese showed Billy the white ball "Just make sure you aim towards your opponent when using it and aim upwards, on contact it will sting like nothing else, after the sting by simply hitting it with this cue you will have much easier time knocking the balls into the holes, it's new undetectable technology I've put in there" Geese explained handing Billy the cue

"That's evil... your brilliant" Billy smiled

"Yes I know but I doubt you'll need it, but in case you do... knock the white ball into that pocket and twirl your cue around once and only once so Gato knows. Be careful however, if you don't use your opportunity fast enough your opponent may notice the tiny black dot, it does fade after making contact however" Geese pointed to the black dot on the ball before walking off to Gato.

In the first matches Billy won the game after Whip accidentally rebounded the white ball and hit the black one into a pocket. King humiliated Benimaru, Kensou had a close game with Ash but won and Jhun defeated Robert. Then in semi finals, King defeated Jhun in a very close match and Billy beat Kensou setting up Kensou vs. Jhun for the bronze and King vs. Billy in the finals.

The other matches resulted in Benimaru defeating Ash and Robert comfortably beating Whip. Ash played Whip which ended up in Ash trying to irritate Whip but Whip was above that and defeated him giving Ash and his team the wooden spoon. There was a good amount of interest in the final matches because of the bet between Jhun and Kensou and then the gold medal playoff

"You do remember our agreement don't you?" Jhun asked smiling

"Yeah, yeah, let's just play" Kensou said

They flipped a coin and Jhun won the toss and choose to go first.

Jhun aimed while Kensou waited at the other end.

CRACK! Jhun hit the other balls as three of the red ones went into their holes while none of the yellow ones nor the black one went in. There was a quiet manner of applause from the Korean team when Jhun did this. Kensou sighed; he knew he'd have a really tough time winning against Jhun in something he was obviously really good at.

Jhun took aim for his next shot, the red ball he was aiming for was near the black one but the red one was closer to the pocket. He hit the white ball and it perfectly lined up and hit the red one in. His next shot was a bit more difficult, he needed to get around the black ball or attempt to hit it and hope he put enough force into for it to knock the red one in but without putting the black ball in. He took aim and hit... the black ball sailed towards the red one and knocked it in the corner pocket however the black ball kept rolling ever so slowly...

"Oh no... not now" Jhun watched the events before him; both the Korean and Psycho solider teams were on their feet to see what was happening on the table.

Oh come on, go in... go in... Kensou was wishing in his mind

The black ball headed straight into the corner pocket.

"DAMN IT!" Jhun banged his fists down in frustration on the table. Kensou knew that he didn't really win, but Jhun had lost although that didn't really matter, he had finally scored one medal for his team and won the first round of his own battle.

"Well, I was just unlucky... nothing I can do" Jhun half heartedly shook Kensou's hand as he walked off to hide in with his team away from the embarrassment.

The final was now on King vs. Billy. The coin was tossed and King won the toss. King went and lined up her first shot, with a text book like approach King broke sending 2 of the yellow balls into the pockets. King walked around the table and thought about her next shot; after a bit of thought she aimed for a yellow ball a good distance from the edge, King hit the ball but it just didn't go far enough.

Billy then took his turn and wasting no time he put one of the red balls into the pocket and then almost instantly took his shot, although he knocked the red ball into the top right pocket he also put the white ball in, Gato looked towards Billy but he shook his head slightly. King took her cue and aimed for one of her yellow balls and put it in easily, she then put in the next 2 yellow balls before she finally missed. Billy now aimed for the red ball near the top right pocket but intended to miss on purpose. Billy took his shot and it went perfectly into the top right corner, there was a bit of a gasp in the crowd but Billy casually twirled his cue around, Gato nodded as he picked the white ball from the bottom of the table and made a quick swap for the other ball. Gato then quietly sat back with Yamazaki and Geese.

"Did you make the switch?" Geese whispered

"Of course I did" Gato said

"Good" Geese replied sitting up and folding his arms

King took her next shot but she was just a little short on the power so missed the ball she was aiming for slightly. Billy now took his turn, look as though he was aiming for the red ball closest to King although was aiming more towards King then the ball. Billy pulled back and aimed upwards just as his cue made contact for the ball, as Geese predicted it was sent soaring upwards right into King's face.

"You stupid JERK! What the hell are you doing!?" King shouted covering her eye as her team mates went to help her

"I'm sorry it was an accident" Billy said putting on his best acting voice, although he saw Geese give a smile.

"Are you alright?" Mai asked
"What do you think!? I'm obviously feeling great... damn this stings" King held her hand over her eye

"What should we do, she can't play like this" Mary said

"No! I can... just watch" King said as she took the white ball and placed it back into position.

King was now very pissed off, as she took aim for the remaining yellow balls. She hit the white ball and hit the yellow one perfectly as it went into the pocket. King then aimed for her next shot but she hit the ball a little too hard causing her to miss. Billy then took his turn and King stood behind him to avoid anymore injury, he had 5 red balls remaining, he aimed for a distant one and the white ball seemed to have just enough speed to knock it in. Billy then turned his attention to two red balls together, he put a decent amount of power and aimed towards them, again without fail the ball tracked towards them and sent them into the pockets. The crowd were clapping in the skilful manner Billy was putting the balls in, he then aimed for another red ball and it went in without any problem.

"You're playing quite well now... what gives you were making mistakes all over before" Robert said

"Nerves I guess" Billy replied

Nerves my arse thought King... she knew a tracker when she saw one but how could she prove it? Billy took his final red ball down with ease. All that remained for Billy was the black one; Billy took a breath and aimed hitting it and sending it in.

"That was remarkable" King said shaking Billy's hand

"Yeah whatever" Billy replied
"Can I see that cue please?" King asked

"Err... okay..." Billy handed his cue to King, Geese had assured him that the technology was undetectable, but King was really good at pool... so she may know something Geese didn't.

King looked around the cue and studied it for a good 3 minutes, but she couldn't find anything, how could this be possible... she couldn't prove he cheated but she knew he did... rather then appear a sore loser it was probably better to just accept defeat.

"... well played" King sighed handed the cue back to Billy

The outlaw team cheered for their first gold medal and Mature awarded the gold to Billy, the silver to King, the bronze to Kensou, the aluminium foil to Jhun and the wooden spoon to Ash. Darts was the next game... however this would be a far quicker game as in this variation 4 darts were thrown and best total score wins.

They quickly moved onto the darts, in the first round Rock beat Leona, Diana defeated Chin, Geese won against Iori and Yuri beat Duo Lon. In the semi finals Rock played Yuri and Geese against Diana. The losers of the first round played out their matches and in the mean time the teams looked and discussed the next round.

"Hmm, if Geese and Rock get the same result, they play each other" Joe pointed out

"Knowing Geese he'll probably lose on purpose if Rock does in order to try have a psychological advantage against him and to lower our team's performance" Andy said

"Rock seems to be above cheap tricks... he'll not let his mind get in the way of the job" Tizoc said

"I dunno... I have confidence in Rock but he does have a lot of hatred against Geese... all I can say it's all the more important for Rock's sake that he win" Terry said "Diana's pretty good at darts, she told me that she sticks pictures of various NESTS executives on her dart board with Igniz and K9999 in the centre" Terry laughed mainly to break the tense mood

The rest of the team laughed too, and the rest of the matches played out, Leona beat Duo Lon and Iori beat Chin. Soon after Duo Lon defeated Chin convincingly to give the Psycho soldiers the wooden spoon.

"Now who's idea was it to use the old man and not me" Malin moped

"Oh it's because he wasn't drunk enough... I forgot about that... he plays at his best when he's drunk but he never remembers it... oh well" Athena sighed

In the next matches Rock defeated Yuri and Geese was beaten easily by Diana. Terry was relieved but Rock was seemingly down.

"Hey, I thought you'd be happy that you won and Geese lost" Terry said

"Yeah I know, but I wanted to beat Geese myself, seeing him again..." Rock started

"Makes your blood boil?" Terry cut Rock off

"No... it's strange... I hate the guy in and out... but, I still wish..." Rock stopped

"You wish what?" Terry asked even though he knew what Rock was probably going to say

"Aw, nothin' don't worry Terry..." Rock then went and talked a bit with Jae Hoon who was sitting in with the Korea team.

Then King went and pulled a dart board from behind her desk.

"Hey in order to make it more interesting there are some new rules..." King put the new dart board on the wall. It had pictures of Billy, Gato, Geese, Yamazaki and Ryo, Takuma, Yuri and Robert.

"What's this?" Yuri asked

"The goal is obviously to throw darts at your opponents team mates, one dart knocks them out... and then take out your actual opponent. If you hit your actual opponent before taking down his or her team mates then it doesn't count" King explained
"Fair enough" Geese said

"Okay let's start" Yuri took her darts and took aim at Billy...

"What are you doing?" Billy stared at Yuri

Yuri threw the dart at Billy... Billy however ducked out of the way.

"HEY are you crazy!!" Billy shouted, almost everybody else was laughing.

"King said I'm supposed to throw them at my opponent's team mates, that's you isn't it?" Yuri asked

"No you moron, ya supposed to hit the pictures!" Billy replied still yelling

"He's unfortunately right Yuri... next time hit the dart board" King said trying to hold her laughter

Geese then took aim; he was aiming towards Robert's picture.

"Oh that's right take out the lover and rich guy first..." Robert sighed

Geese threw and hit perfectly...

"Oh no! You hit Robert... I'll get you now..." Yuri then threw her dart at the picture of Billy and it hit him.

"Ah... now it's time to take out your brother... or should I aim for your father... who will it be. Well it's generally my tradition to take out the Daddy first..." Geese laughed and threw his dart at Takuma's picture... however he missed the dart board ever so slightly.

"That was close..." Yuri then took aim for Yamazaki's picture and threw her dart hitting the picture in the eye. Geese then returned it this time by hitting Takuma, Yuri missed Gato but hit Geese (the picture) although it didn't count, Geese got Ryo, only Yuri herself remained untouched.

"Oh no..." Yuri said as she threw the dart this time hitting perfectly onto Gato

"This ends here..." Geese threw the dart but it only hit Robert again.

"Ha! You missed" Robert laughed

"Did he?" Ryo nudged Robert with a stupid smile on his face

"Ah shut up" Robert replied

Yuri took her throw and it hit Geese perfectly

"Yay! I won!" Yuri jumped up and down

"No Yuri, only if Geese misses then you win, because you went first" King explained

Geese concentrated... he then threw carefully, but it hit split between Yuri and Takuma.

"Let me check that... see if it that hit Yuri or Takuma" King looked at the dart closely...

"Nope, its hit Takuma, Yuri wins!" King announced

Only the final needed to be played now, Rock vs. Diana.

A new dart board came out this time with 10 pictures obviously they were of Rock, Terry, Tizoc, Andy, Joe, Diana, K', Kula, Maxima and Whip.

"You guys got the rules?" King asked

They both nodded

Rock started and took aim at K'. He threw and hit K' straight off.

"Typical..." K' grumbled

Diana then without concentration threw her dart, it hit Terry with ease. Rock threw near Kula but it just missed the outside of Kula but got Maxima instead. Diana replied to this by going for Andy and again it hit easily. Rock went for Kula again but he missed the outside edge of the board, Diana then went for Joe and hit perfectly.

"You're like a machine" Rock said in amazement

Diana only gave a smile as Rock took his next shot.

Again he went for Kula, and finally landed. Diana then took aim on Tizoc but she actually missed him slightly hitting Andy again. Rock then took aim at Whip and he landed it ever so slightly. Diana also got her shot against Tizoc.

"Now if one of you hits and the other one misses that will decide it, so throw at the same time. If you both hit or miss you have to try hit the same target again" King explained "On the count of 3 throw... 1..."

Rock and Diana aimed

"2" King counted

"3" King said

Both threw... Rock's aim was off he had hit the wall while Diana had hit Rock winning her the match.

"You were far too good..." Rock shrugged

"Thanks... you were alright... just concentrate a little more" Diana said as she accepted her gold medal.

The outlaw team were awarded the aluminium, the Art of fighting team the bronze, the Fatal fury team the silver and the K' team the gold. Now it was onto the pool...
