INTERIM

"I didn't doubt you, Camus." Lynette told the man, since he was now around early twenties, his prime, "I knew you'd pass on."

"I can say the same for you." Camus responded, "You are a great fighter, isn't that right, Raguna?"

"Yep." Raguna answered, "Who did you go against?"

"A lass named Forte." Lynette responded, "It was tough... She had this stupid ceramic armor that I couldn't get past."

"I could've!" Camus chuckled, "With my bare fists!"

"Well, not everyone has super strength like you, Camus." Lynette grunted,

"Speaking of super strength." Raguna mumbled as Iris came over, "Iris was incredible!"

"Thank you." Iris chuckled, "But all I get are cocky humans... I can't get a real challenge!"

"Are you kidding me? My last challenge quit!" Camus grumbled, "And it was my own bloodline!"

"Mine was pretty ok." Raguna mumbled, "She still had a lot to learn.."

"Speaking of bloodlines... I haven't seen Leona." Iris told Raguna, "Wasn't he a great hero too?"

"No." Raguna sighed, "He was as gentle as his mother... That kid had great potential.."

"Gee... You sound disappointed." Lynette said, "So what if he had Lara's gentle spirit? He's still your son."

"I know, I just wish..." Raguna grunted, "You know, he would've trained... It would have made me so proud if he would've surpassed me.."

"I see." Camus mumbled, "I wished that too... But I got a daughter!" he laughed, "Can't do much there!"

"Can I join in?" a calm voice called out, it was Sharron,

"Sure." Lynette said,

"However, it has been great so far." Raguna changed the conversation,

"It has." Iris added,

"It was so hard hurting Mei.. But you can't show remorse out there." Sharron sighed, "It's a weakness."

"Dad..." Aaron sighed, "Why did you..."

"He's not dead, you know?" Aria mumbled, "He's just waiting.."

"I swear to all the gods I will avenge him!" Aaron yelled and stood up, "I will kill that bastard that got him if it's the last thing I do!"

"Aaron!" Aria said, seeing all the ruckus he was causing, "Shush!"

"Didn't you see what he did, Aria!?" Aaron said in fury,

"I did... But it's all part of the Tournament." Aria said in a calming voice, "Now please... Sit down.."

"All right..." Aaron mumbled, "I just..."

"I know..." Aria muttered, "He was my dad too..."

"Hello?" Micah called out, seeing no one else from his game was still in the tournament, "Ah rats..." he grumbled and drank his water alone.

In the RF4 Sector, a lonely breeze howled inside the room...

"Sonja!" Aden said in relief, "I'm so glad you made it!"

"Were you doubting me?" Sonja pouted,

"N-n-no!" Aden stammered, "It's just that there are some pretty powerful foes here... At least from what I've heard.."

"Calm down, sweetheart." Sonja reassured him, "There's nothing we can't fight here... As long as we have each other."

"You're right." Aden mumbled and hugged her, however, he looked up.

"What's wrong?" Sonja asked, sensing here partner's tension,

"Look.." Aden muttered and Sonja turned, only to see a white clothed individual who wielded a long black sword.

"No..." Sonja mumbled,

"Bravo.." the individual called out and clapped his hands, "I haven't seen such an oblivious embrace!"

"What do you want!?" Aden growled and took out his double scymtars,

"Nothing..." the individual said, "Geez! Put those up will ya? I'm not here to steal Sonja's body now! I have my original one!"

"Hmph." Aden grunted, "I hope we see each other out there, Masked Man, because I swear I will destroy you and send you straight back home to hell."

"We'll see." the Masked Man chuckled evilly and held his blade tight.

"Look!" Sersius pointed, he was outside, "We're on a flying whale island!"

"Why am I not surprised?" Ethelberd grumbled,

"Calm down, Emperor." Sersius said, "These were thought to be extinct in my time, now they're as numerous as the clouds!" he said, seeing a whole pod of Whale Islands flying around them.

"It seems the matches are up." Micah told Raguna, his first time meeting the Earthmate of Legend,

"Yes... I hope I get someone good this time.." Raguna chuckled,

"So do I." Aden came up, "I want a good fight!"

"Hearing you Earthmates is like hearing a bunch of warriors!" Sersius laughed, "To think the Earthmates were usually peaceful... Not war-like and conflict loving."

"We were the last of the Earthmates in our time." Raguna answered, "I guess we were pretty upset by that.."

"Yeah..." Aden added, "Look, Raguna! The matches!"

"It seems I get the Special Group." Iris mumbled as she saw her name in Group S,

"So do I.." Ethelberd grunted, "I get a bunch of weaklings."

"Wait until you see me." Iris chuckled,

"Rats!" Micah gunted, "I get another girl!"

"You got to fight two battles!" Sonja growled,

"It was the author's fault! He wasn't paying attention!" Micah responded, "I can't help it if I went against both Raven and Volkanon in the same round!"

"Shut up!" Lynette grunted and smacked his head, "Stop breaking the wall!"

More is coming! Don't worry! PLEASE ENJOY AND REVIEW!
