SailorStar9: This is Chapter 3 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.

Chapter 3: Something to Crow About

"Yamato, eat or talk." Grey deathpanned. "You've gotta pick one or the other."

"Tough choice," Bull remarked. "These things are good."

"I'm so psyched, I can't help it." Yamato swallowed hos donut. "Imagine a super player. They say he can part oceans, smash mountains. I hope it's true. This is so cool. It's way beyond awesome. He's out there waiting for someone brave enough to accept his challenge. And I'm the one!" he stepped on the table. "There's no doubt that I have the skills to take him down. I accept his challenge!"

"You get your foot off that table, young man!" Ren's kunai barely missed Yamato's foot. "NOW!"

"No standing or putting your feet on the tables." Mie chided.

"Chill out," Grey sighed. "The legend might be fake. And even if it was true, there's one problem. No one seems to know this super Bada player's identity."

"If we only knew…" Yamato muttered.

"I know that guy." Bull cut in.

"You say you know him?" Yamato pressed. "Tell us who he is."

"Don't put your foot on the table either!" Mie screamed.

"Come on, tell me." Yamato urged. "Hey, are you asleep?" he twitched, Bull dozing off. "Who is it?"

"Who is what?" Bull asked, groggily.

"This is getting hopeless." Yamato muttered.

"It's going to be one of these days." Ren mumbled.

"This whole thing really stinks." Yamato whined, the youngsters settling down for a game of cards. "I need practice. I want to Bada-Battle and I want to Bada-Battle right now. You've got to help me, Grey. I feel the need for beat."

"If that's how you feel, then go to the B-Coliseum." Grey suggested.

"The B-Coliseum?" Yamato echoed.

"The B-Coliseum is an arena where all kinds of players go to meet and Bada-Battle each other." Ren explained. "Two cards, please."

"Really?" Yamato beamed. "Are you saying that if I go there, I can Bada-Battle with other players?"

"Uh huh." Grey confirmed. "Four cards." He grinned, showing he had an ace in his hand.

"Call." Ren declared.

"Four aces." Grey showed his hand. "Beat that!"

"Royal straight flush." Ren laid her cards out for her opponent all to see. "I warned you."

"So you did." Grey chuckled.

"Bada players, I'm on my way!" Yamato announced and dashed off.

"He seems excited." Bull noted, the small group exiting the café.

"Hold on…" Grey blinked when Yamato rushed back.

"Just where is the B-Coliseum?" Yamato skidded to a stop.

"It's in the next town over from here." Grey replied and Yamato dashed off again.

"What's the betting he'll return again?" Ren smirked.

"Sucker bet, Ren." Grey snorted.

"The next town over, but which way?" Yamato returned.

"It's west." Grey replied.

"And which way is west?" Yamato panted, returning for a third time.

"I really need to teach him how to read a map." Ren shook her head.

"Hold on, Yamato." Grey sighed. "We'll all go."

Battle Crow grinned as he arrived outside the B-Coliseum.

"I can't believe it…" Battle Crow cawed after Yamato soundly defeated.

"You never change, Crow." Ren's murderous whisper sounded beside his ear, one of her twin blades resting against his neck.

"You…" Battle Crow stammered, backing off fearfully. "Themis… the bringer of cosmic justice…"

"'Might is right.'" The cloaked Ren droned coldly. "Wasn't that what you said?"

"No… stay away…" Battle Crow pleaded. "Please…"

"How many families have you torn apart?" Ren trained her glare at him. "How many parents' pleas had fallen into dead ears?"

"I was only following…" Battle Crow's sentence was cut off when Ren decapitated him with a single stroke.

"Hell Fire Pillar." Ren whispered, incinerating the beheaded former Shadow Alliance member's body.
