It's time for the teams to be introduced.
I thank everyone who sent in a team for the tournament. I took them into consideration, thought about how they would do, and imagined them competing against others. Now I have come to a decision.
The teams that made it will be announced in the chapter.
Chapter 2: The Teams Are Introduced.
The 10 teams made their way into the center of Station Square Arena, where the teams would be introduced, and where the preliminaries would take place. Teams Sonic and Babylon looked at the other 8 teams that would be competing in the tournament.
"It looks like we have some tough competition. I can't wait." Sonic said, excited.
"It doesn't matter. I'll win anyway." Jet remarked.
"No way. I'll win." Sonic argued. The two started arguing over who would win the tournament when the introductions began.
