Later that day, the entire kingdom was filled with people.
They were all gathered in the big tournament ring.
They were all there to see all the knights compete for Princess Amanda's hand.
Finn was in the fighter's den, practicing with dummies again.
He was all dressed in armor like everyone else.
He could hear Luowski bragging and gloating to other people.
He felt his rage filling up, but he kept his cool.
Rage always lead to one's downfall.
It distracts them.
That's what his teacher and father always said.
He thought of only Amanda and her kiss.
It gave him luck.
And he was going to use it to win today.
Soon enough everyone heard the horns blowing.
"It's starting," Finn said to himself. "Time to go."
He grabbed his sword and shield and gathered with all the other knight suitors as they began to walk out.
He kept his distance from Luowski, but focused more on the tournament.
They all walked until they saw light at the end of the tunnel they were walking in.
They proceeded on and all walked out into the coliseum, where tons of people cheered for every single one of them.
Horns continued to blow as they walked out.
They all gathered right in the middle of the field and waited for the next part.
"And now people!" said the royal speaker. "I give to you your king, queen, and lovely princess, Wayne, Wanda, and Amanda!"
The whole kingdom cheered as the three all walked out onto the balcony above and sat in their thrones.
Everyone eyed Amanda especially and she waved to everyone.
However, Finn knew she was directly waving at him.
And it filled him up with more luck and strength.
Horns blowing disrupted his thoughts.
Wayne stood up to the balcony and silenced everyone.
"Brave knights of Disney!" he said. "You are gathered here today for this special ceremony and tournament, where all of you will fight bravely with honor and strength."
He then stared at Amanda.
"And your reward will be the hand in marriage with my daughter, Princess Amanda," he said.
Everyone cheered out, and amongst the knights Luowski yelled out and chanted, practically making a fool out of himself.
"Stupid," Finn said in his mind.
"We shall start with fights of two against two," said Wayne. "Let the tournament begin!"
Everyone cheered and the knights readied themselves.
The tournament started out with one knight against Luowski.
Finn knew how this worked.
Everyone's armor was made to be impenetrable enough not to harm them, but could still leave big slashes on impact.
They were also all magically enchanted to recognize those slashes.
Three slashes on one person was needed to win that round.
Finn watched as sadly his opponent was beaten too soon.
He felt Luowski went to hard on him.
He watched as another knight pair fought courageously.
After that one it was his turn.
He stood before his opponent ready to fight.
The referee gave the go and they both engaged.
Both of them slashed and swung at one another.
Finn got one slash on his opponent already.
The opponent growled and swung rapidly.
Finn blocked and parried and got another one.
"His rage is clouding him," said Finn.
Once more Finn got a slash and he won the round.
Everyone cheered and he could almost hear Amanda cheering the loudest.
Once the first round was over, it was the semifinals.
Luowski and Finn won their rounds, and now they were in the finals.
This was it.
This was the defining moment for both.
Whoever won this would get Amanda's hand in marriage.
Luowski grinned happily while Finn stood fiercely.
The referee said go and they were off.
Luowski charged but Finn stayed put.
Once he got above him and prepared to slash, Finn dodged.
"My speed always beats power," he said.
But then, Luowski kicked Finn with his back leg.
Finn slid across the dirt and saw Luowski charge.
Finn flipped himself onto his feet and used his shield to block.
He then swung and Luowski parried, and then got one slash on him.
People cheered while Amanda held her breath.
"Got one!" yelled Luowski. "You're going down Whitless!"
Finn growled and then he charged at Luowski.
Luowski charged too, but then Finn did a trick.
He threw his shield on the ground and Luowski slipped on it as it slid.
He lost his footing and flew through the air.
Finn then slid on his knees and held his sword in the air, slashing Luowski.
He did a somersault, grabbed his shield, and stood tall as Luowski fell on the ground.
People cheered at the amazing move and Amanda yelled out happily.
Luowski stood up and spat the dirt out of his mouth.
"Now you've done it," he said.
They both fought courageously again, each soon getting a slash on one another again.
They were now both with two strikes each, and the next one would win.
They both were sweating and covered in dirt.
They both sighed and charged again swung at one another.
Finn constantly looked for an opening, and almost got hit too many times.
Finn dodged and dodged until finally he got and opening.
He held up his sword and prepared to slash.
He yelled courageously, but then saw something.
Luowski was smiling, and then Finn saw it.
Luowski was holding a bottle of glowing liquid.
"NO!" he gasped. "A POTION!?"
Luowski opened it and the contents spilled onto him.
Luowski was suddenly faster than Finn.
"A SPEED POTION!?" he yelled. "CHEATING!"
He was too distracted and Luowski made his final slash on Finn's back.
Finn gasped and fell to the ground.
Everyone in the crowd was staring.
Luowski stood tall and Finn was on the ground.
No one had seen him use the potion.
Finn opened his eyes as everyone cheered for the victor.
Finn looked up and saw Luowski pointing his sword at Finn.
"I win Whitless," he said. "Amanda is finally mine."
"You goddamn cheater," said Finn.
"No one saw and no one will know," he said.
He sheathed his sword and then walked out towards the gate.
Finn just stood on the ground sadly and looked up.
He saw Amanda and she was heartbroken.
"I lost…" he cried. "I lost…"
He could nothing, for everyone saw Luowski as a hero, while Finn knew he was a cheater.
Goddammit Luowski! You goddamn cheater! What will happen next you may wonder? Stay tuned to find out!
