(Robin's POV)

Star and the others were celebrating. We had all passed. The matches for the next round were put on the big screen.

Here are what they were:

#1 Robin(17) vs #3 Starfire(17)

#6 Aqualad(18) vs #7 Julian(19)

#10 Blizzard(16) vs #11 Cyborg(21)

#13 Batgirl(18) vs #15 Red X(18)

#18 Beast Boy(16) vs #19 Thunder(21)

#21 Iceboi(13) vs #23 Kid Flash(18)

#25 Jinx(16) vs #28 Raven(16)

#30 Bumble Bee(17) vs #31 Terra(16) vs #33 Lightning(19) (a three way battle)

I looked Star's and my name.

"No." I whispered to myself.

I looked at Starfire. She seemed so happy. I had been forced to fight her once before and could not stand to do it again. She saw the matches came up to me and said.

"Let the best Tamaranean or Human win." She smiled and held out her hand. I now know it was not a fight out of hate, but out of fun. I took her hand and we shook. I smiled back.

(Blizzard's POV)

I watched the others. Jinx walked over to Raven.

"Friends?" She asked.

Raven stared then smiled.

"Friends." She said.

Bumble Bee, Terra and Lightning wished each other luck and the same with Batgirl and Red X.

Batgirl held out her hand and X took it. I could not see his face, but could tell he was smiling and possibly blushing. They both have crushes on each other though neither will admit.

Beast Boy and Thunder wished each other luck. Cyborg walked over to me.

"Let the best man win." He said and smiled.

I smiled weakly.

"Ya." I said and we shook hands.

"Starfire and Robin please come to the ring." Came the announcement.

The two lovers stepped onto the ring. They looked at each other and I could tell they were afraid.

"START!" Shouted the announcer.

They went at it with all they had. Starfire shot starbolts and Robin exploding disks. They impacted and Robin came out of the smoke and swung a kick at her.

Star dodged and punched him. He turned around and through an ice disk. It her and she froze. She broke out and attacked again and again. Star shot lasers from her eyes and Robin through an ice disk that hit the ground. He used it to slide under her, jump up and hit her.

She plummeted to the ground. He lunged and put a birdarang over her neck. Thus winning the match.

"Congratulations friend Robin!" She said. They walked together back to the sitting area.

"Robin advances!" Said the announcer.

The crowd went wild. It eventually got to me vs Cy.

"Next up-"

"Cyborg and Blizzard!"

I walked up there and the crowd went wild. Everyone knew who I was and it felt good. I had an opponent to face though.

"Start!"

I spun around and covered the floor in ice. Cyborg had trouble keeping his balance. He blasted the ice away using his sonic cannon. I used the little ice left to skate across the arena, jump and land behind him.

He got me with the cannon. I flipped and steadied myself. I smirked. I did a jump kick and hit him in the chest. He stumbled back and I threw an ice ball at him. He hit the wall.

I advanced and walked slowly. I speeded up and kept running faster. He pushed the ice ball off of himself.

(Cyborg's POV)

I pushed the ball off and looked up to see Blizzard's fist crash into my face. He was too damn fast and there was nothing I could do. I was gonna lose if this kept up. I recovered and punched him. He flew all the way across the arena like a rag doll. He ran at me and through about twenty water balls. They all missed there target, but he didn't. Blizzard jumped on my back.

I tried to get him off. He opened the panel on my back. My eyes widened in horror. He grinned when he found his target. He pulled one wire and my body shut down.

"Uh, Blizzard proceeds!"

I laid there and grumbled. He plugged me back in and we shook hands. He put his fist in the hair and sucked up the attention like a vacuum cleaner.

We both walked back to the bleachers.

Batgirl and Red X went at it. Their techniques are all too similar. It was a battle of flying gadgets and fists. In the end X won and the two ended up kissing. Red X lifted his mask half way. (A/N: think MJ and Spiderman from the first movie except not upside-down.)

They kissed and there was a lot of cheering. BB beat Thunder and Raven beat Jinx. Raven helped Jinx limp back to the seats. Jinx thanked her for a fun battle. Iceboi beat Kid Flash. KF was beaten by a thirteen year old! That kid is different somehow.

(Beast Boy's POV)

Blizzard had been keeping an eye on him. Actually, he is just like a younger version of Blizz. The other matches would be fought tomorrow. That allowed us to get some rest. We went back to the tower. The only two of all of us that were not all tired and sweaty were Blizzard and Red X.

They were so calm and relaxed. It was as if it was easy pickings for them. I had failed to impress Blizzard and am now more determined. Tomorrow the tournament would commence (yet another new word in my vocabulary) and I would be there to witness it first hand.

(A/N: did u like it? I thought it was pretty good. I will speed up the less important matches. I can't wait to type the big finally. I have the end all planned out! Oh and there will be a sequel called 'Slipped Away'. Well enjoy! Please R&R.)
