Malin and Blake the two Australian riders were so nervous as they were being escorted by the Japanese Reds gang to their home ground for a match. They knew that whichever way the match went, they were still greatly outnumbered and by what appeared to be a very aggressive team. Malin tried to get a few messages to Blake, he could see that even Blake was not a little pressured and Blake hardly ever lost his composure. Soon enough they arrived. The Red's home ground was a school and they were taken through the school grounds where people were already waiting to watch a battle. Most were the Reds, some were from other teams and there were a surprising amount of people just here to watch. The D Class Cube Battle would take place within the toilet blocks that had been refurnished into a fighting zone for the battleground. There were cameras within the room and everybody outside could watch the fight outside the toilets and it was being streamed straight to the internet. Malin happened to look over and see a few people not from the Reds gang, but there was someone that caught his eye. He couldn't believe what he was seeing and this person noticed he was looking. As if knowing how nervous he was he put his thumb up and smiled as if wishing him all the best. Malin wished he would come over and help but it didn't look like that was going to happen.

Daisuke stepped forward to calm everybody down. He chose Blake as his opponent for the first match up. Blake turned and Malin was able to shake his hand for good luck as they parted ways. Daisuke seemed ready for a fight as he had been watching others ride against each other all day. The match came on the big screen outside and the crowd went crazy with anticipation.

Blake stood very still as if not wanting to see how long he could keep Daisuke still for. Blake obviously didn't want to make the first move and he seemed to be too scared to fight. Daisuke took advantage of Blake not moving and charged at him head on. He had on some brass knuckles to maximise his punching power within these closed zone they were in and knew he was almost certain in connecting a couple of shots. Daisuke swung a shot and Blake completely dodged it, going underneath and spinning around causing Daisuke to go straight passed him. Charging head on, even in a space this small wasn't always the best method and Daisuke decided he would mix up his attack charges to make his movements a little more unpredictable. It didn't seem to matter though which angle he came at Blake, he wasn't able to land a single shot on him. The crowd and Daisuke was a little restless and frustrated at the lack of confrontation the Australian was showing. He looked around quickly and had an idea; he went around the perimeter of the toilets to where there were still some functioning facilities just without the cubicle walls up. Instead of going to hit Blake, he hit all the toilets, shattering them and sending water spurting everywhere.

Malin was watching outside and he knew what Daisuke was up to. He was using the water to wet the tiled floor and make it more slippery. This would make it harder for Blake to continue dodging him and force him into a one on one fight which he had already setup for with the brass knuckles. Malin let out a sigh of relief which wasn't noticed by anyone around him. It was indeed an intimidating strategy, but this had now been turned in Blake's favour and he knew everything would be ok for him until his match was over.

Daisuke had an extra bit of confidence in his attack now but once again couldn't connect a shot against Blake. This time Blake twisted his body around and manoeuvred himself out of the situation, which he hadn't done before. Blake was tall and everybody knew that the taller someone was, it was harder to balance as their centre of gravity was higher. This however was done with expert balance and foot positioning showing that he was very used to working in enclosed spaces and using not only his feet to shift his weight onto but using his hips to twist his entire body around and allow for a great amount of movement. Daisuke had never dealt with something like this before and as Blake readied himself for another attack, his foot slipped out and he leant back about to fall down. Taking full advantage of the situation, Daisuke charged forward to finish the fight off. He aimed as much strength as he could into his fist and used acceleration to gain momentum for maximum damage. With all the momentum he had gained for this attack though, he had worked himself into a position that he wouldn't be able to pull out. What happened next wasn't even seen by many people watching, but all they knew was that instead of Blake slipping over and copping a shot, he was standing strong and his opponent had been knocked down convincingly with enough force to be slammed into the wall. Before Daisuke could get himself from the wall, Blake had already backed it up and charged in to finish him off with a combo attack that hardly anybody could see but effective in leaving his opponent unable to fight.

The gang outside watching groaned in disappointment while Malin wanted to yell out in excitement that his friend had won. When Daisuke wet the floor in hopes it would slow Blake down he only did himself a disadvantage. Blake's balance was outstanding due to his large feet and strong core through his stomach. This is how he could pretend to slip over while having complete control the entire time by having his weight down on his opposite leg and stomach tensed to stay upright. When his opponent fell for the trap-it was a matter of using his reflexes to hop up and counter the attack. His reflexes were his true strength which he used for melee attacks that were so quick that they could often be unseen to the naked and inexperienced eye. Close quarter combat against Blake was the worst tactic this guy could have done and he paid the price for it.

The announcement went out over the school grounds that Daisuke of the Reds had lost to this no name rider of Australia. Malin was so happy his friend was ok, but suddenly so nervous as he always got before a match as it was now his turn to fight. It seemed he would be fighting the leader of the Reds and the gang around him began to cheer very loud in preparation. It was a D Class Cube Battle with Malin vs. Daichi as he was known. Malin looked to the crowd to see them opening up like the Red Sea to let their leader come through. Daichi eyed him carefully, already shaping him up for this fight-he seemed less cocky than Daisuke, but much more calculating. Daichi disappeared from view into the toilet blocks and Malin was shoved in by the Reds around him wanting the next fight to take place. Malin got in there in time to see Daichi pick Daisuke up off the ground while he congratulated Blake on his victory and got a good luck from him. Daichi spoke to his partner loud enough for him to hear, "You underestimated these riders, it is obvious they took their memory cards out so just in case they ran into a problem like this. Just because they are not from Japan doesn't mean they are any less skilled than you and they had the advantage over you for it." Daisuke apologised and left the room after he eyed Malin off. Blake also left behind him and Malin faced off with the Reds leader for what seemed like an eternity. "Rest assured I will not be beaten by you". Malin said nothing-he hated trash talking but took it all in and began looking around the room for his options. He steadied his nerves as best he could and began looking at the body positioning of Daichi to get some clues as to how he may attack. Finally, after a lot of tension from inside the battleground and outside, the match was started.

Daichi came at him straight from the start and tried to connect a simple attack. Malin wasn't as steady in his balance as Blake due to smaller feet so he relied on his strong calf muscles and ankles to hold most of his weight and on the tiled floor which was now wet from the previous fight-that wasn't the most helpful habit to have and was a disadvantage to him. He wouldn't be able to make any sharp movements otherwise he risked falling over so he would try to block the attacks before creating some distance. Daichi was very skilled in his combo attacks within the confined area, but his shots were being stopped continuously by Malin. He couldn't land one shot as every time he threw a punch or kick he was able to stop it or duck underneath it. Daichi almost became frustrated but seemed to remember Daisuke doing the same in the last fight and regathered himself. "Are your reflexes like your teammates as well?" Daichi said hoping to gain some insight but wouldn't be so lucky as Malin remained quiet. "I don't know how you are able to tell what attacks I am about to do-but without offence you cannot win." Malin still remained quiet and was watching things very carefully-there was some truth in what his opponent just said and he was looking for the right time to launch his attack.

Daichi reached into his belt and bought out a whip, which would increase his reach to the entire toilet block room and be much harder to dodge. Malin took off knowing he needed to keep moving otherwise he would be a sitting target for the whip strike. This method bought him some time as Daichi had to aim up his shot and try and get his movements down. Daichi waited and waited until he was sure he had Malin locked on enough to take a shot. He put his arm backwards getting ready to sling his whole arm forwards bringing the whip with him but was surprised when Malin suddenly came to a complete stop-even on the wet floor. This had been done with very skilled breaking abilities and ankle positioning and while Daichi tried to aim a new shot he was suddenly thrown off again when Malin took off with all the acceleration he had. It was in that moment that Daichi realised his whole body couldn't move and for some reason had completely frozen. Something he couldn't explain had happened and allowed Malin to come in for close quarters and get a wide open shot to him without him being able to do anything about it.

Blake watching outside the match was also relieved now. Malin had been able to win the match and they had proven their skills in an actual fight against a Japanese AT team. Daichi had very strong offence and Malin was only waiting for the right moment to use his technique effectively rather than numerously. Also Daichi used very obvious close combinations and then used a whip which was a long range fighting method. His ability at the end was the best thing to use in this match as the concentration on the long range weapon left him open for it. The Reds leader had been using his brain and reflexes to aim up the shot on Malin and when he stopped-he quickly reacted to change, but once again thrown off when Malin took off. There were so many messages that the brain can send at one time and only so quickly the body can respond to these messages. It temporarily froze Daichi's body despite his mind being able to tell what was going on and he had won because of it.

Blake looked around to unfortunately see the Reds becoming very agro after their leader had also lost. Malin came out of the block and Blake straight away went into his corner and they were surrounded by the gang. It seemed things were not going to be ok for them after all and they wouldn't return home, until something happened. All of a sudden, the Reds were backing off and too scared to charge. Someone was standing in front of them, who was this person that had come to help…?
