"Good morning, Psyonix! How nice is to have you back here in a brand new transmission of Rocket League! I'm Sora Perse and with me the captivating, the unreachable, the one and only… Aura Sentia!"

"How are you, Sora Perse? Such a long wait but the day has finally come. Enrollments day! What teams will we have this year for the World Cup? Can they beat the Sharks? It is true that a unique model will be playing with our Scarab people? That and more, fellows."

"That's right, Psyonix. We are here in the stunning Mannfield. In a few moments we will reveal the teams that signed up for the competition. Can I tell you the truth? I'm very nervous and excited. This happens once every hundred years, Aura Sentia. A hundred years! We remind to the rookies that the team who wins this World Cup instantly assumes the power of the Government, replacing the previous one."

"And not just that: they will reign Psyonix over the next century. Without a doubt, Sora Perse, a historical day. So excited to be here…"

"Without further ado, let's talk to our partner in the field of the stadium where the Opening Ceremony will take part in a few minutes. Welcome, Yuri! How are things over there?"

"Sora Perse, Aura Sentia. I'm honored to share this transmission with both of you. Let me salute you Psyonix and tell you with total conviction that this party will be amazing. And according to numerous sources, there will be six or more teams signed up." The sportscasters laugh nervously. "That's right. Let me remind the viewers that in the first World Cup played on this planet, only four teams signed up and the Sharks took the crown by destroying Fireworks 5-0 in the Finale."

"Big disappointment for all…" says Sora Perse. Yuri goes on.

"Just in a few minutes the ceremony will start and we are going to live it moment by moment. Which teams will show up? Stay tuned to find out."

"Let's see the beginning of the ceremony. Psyonix, enjoy."

The screens now show the field of the stadium but without Yuri. It shows the Mannfield glowing with fireworks, trumpets and screams from the Scarab crowd. Four cars enter the field with royal robes and crowns on top of them. Of course everybody knows who they are. The Sand Sharks. Dominus accelerates ahead of the others to reach a microphone.

"It's my honor and pleasure to welcome you to the honorable second edition of the Rocket League World Cup!" The crowd explodes and Grog looks his teammates with encouragement. "We, the Sand Sharks, current champions and actual kings of this planet, open this ceremony and let the presentation of the teams begin."

After that, the show begins. And later, a video showing the highlights of the last World Cup is shown in the stadium. The audience enjoys every second of the party. Some minutes later, the crowd starts to calm down and the team presentations are announced by the sportscasters.

"We're back here with Aura Sentia to announce the most expected news since a great period of time. Are you ready, Psyonix? Let's get to it!"

"To start, let's go with the obvious team. Scarab people: last undefeated champions, actual kings of Psyonix, the relentless, powerful and fearsome… Sand Sharks!" The crowd agitates with mixed feelings.

"Unbelievable, Aura Sentia. And now, let's go with the rest of the teams." After some seconds of silence which seem to be eternal, Sora Perse proceeds. "Formed in the humblest section of the planet, the population itself, hungry for making history and with a faith that oversteps the car models, we present to you… Round Hope!" Jumping and making some flips, four Scarabs enter the field. One of them seems to stop and wave the public with one of his extremities. The crowd loves them.

"Moving on! And now… the team which keeps Psyonix safe and away from all evil. With their unique and unmistakable design, created to protect and serve. Here you got… Ion Blue!" Some cheer them up, but others are shown emotionless before the police's team. Four Batmobiles enter with their particular sirens and strict organization that characterize them. Without jumping or making fancy stuff, they approach the center of the field to remain next to Round Hope.

"Okay. So we have the first three teams!"

"For this fourth presentation, just a declaration."

"What a rhyme, Aura Sentia!"

"What you are about to witness is more than historical. For the first time in history, a non-Scarab model is going to share team with them." The audience can't believe it and celebrates as if they can now win the tournament. "Let's get ready to receive… New Era!" Three Scarabs enter the Mannfield and leave the other model for later. It's a Breakout. The unique model enters happily and clarifies to Yuri, who is close to him, the great feeling of representing a whole city.

"Amazing, Psyonix! I told you were going to be surprised today."

"There are three teams remaining and I guarantee you that the last two are completely mysterious. They didn't even tell us who they are. So the surprise is going to be for all of us, for sure," explains Sora Perse.

"I now want you to welcome with great support the team who was very close to conquer the last World Cup. You know who they are. Many say that they have improved a lot and they are in incredible shape nowadays. I believe it. Let's receive… Fireworks!" Dev and Gizmo lead the way. Behind them, Venom and Zippy.

"Wow! Look how many cars, V." Zippy is playing his first World Cup.

The four cars stand next to New Era and manage to see Delo in one of the stands.

"Such a great team, Aura Sentia. I think they are going to give us many joys this time."

"I'm sure of that, Sora Perse. What next?"

"Well, I don't really know… I guess we are going to live it second by second. Just as you, Psyonix. Okay, they tell me that the upcoming teams didn't want to reveal anything for today. Let's begin. I'm so nervous…"

"The suspense is strong, Sora Perse. Let's see… This team promised that their return would be fierce."

"Return?"

"With a big wound that made them stronger and closer, strengthening their friendship and forcing them to mature really fast…"

"Don't tell me that-"

"Scarab People…"

"No…"

"Trueeee Brotheeeers!"

"Noooo! Unbelievable!"

The crowd, again, loses control and the noise is unbearable. Piercing the artificial fog, Gao and Yuga enter the court, the last one proving he's ready. Then, Leo and Luna. The members of Fireworks discuss between them the implications of this, causing the other teams to alter. Leo, faithful to his style, makes a backflip and the seriousness of the situation vanishes. Marauder, however, looks at Grog with hate, who is far away observing the ceremony.

"This is too much, Aura Sentia… And you tell me that I have to introduce the next one? What else can surprise us after True Brother's comeback?"

"I don't know, Sora Perse. I don't know…"

"Let's get to it, then… So many feelings… The next and last team says to be the pillar who founded the essence of Rocket League." Sora Perse and Aura Sentia look at each other worried without saying it to the audience. "They say the whole world will shake out of surprise. That Psyonix will explode in a revolution after this announcement." Aura Sentia realizes it. "Scarab People, teams…" Sora Perse don't shout the name like the others. Instead, a shy sound, almost a whisper, comes out of him. "Titans…"

The stadium doesn't explode. It mutes. No one makes any sound. Not even of surprise. The Titans enter side by side remarking their unity. For the first time in all of Mannfield's history, only the engines of the four cars can be heard. When they stand next to Fireworks, which pretend to be a little surprised, they remain calm and quiet. The seriousness of their entering was stunning. Hog fix his look on the Sharks. Yuma looks directly to Dom, who can't hide his anger and surprise and starts to get very nervous. All of a sudden, he jumps from his place and, with and overwhelming attitude, goes directly to the microphone.

"The ceremony is concluded. Best of luck for all teams…"

The Sharks exit first, quickly, and the rest of the teams approach the Titans with curiosity and admiration. Yuma looks at his team and the members of Fireworks: "It has begun".
