Sorry for not updating for a while but with projects, exams, and all of the things happening in my life I find little time to sit at the computer and type stories. Anyway is may be awhile for me to update this fic seeing as its unfair to my other fics and my other readers. So expect this chapter and maybe another before I start working on other things.
Announcements:
The last time I looked on Deviantart I saw some fantastic images of this story. Thanks again Ravena for all your creative work. Also like I put up before I may just update this until the tournament arc is over or I may just stop to update my other stories to a certain part before continuing this story. I don't know yet I will think it over tonight.
Also I like the fact that others have taken some things away from this story, if I could I would make a section just for this story. Well here are some stories based off mine that are good:
Adventures with Kurotsubasa by Generalhyna
Rav, Bella and the Hyna Squad by Generalhyna
And, Fanfiction World Bellas story by Generalhyna
These three are good and funny to read and I encourage anyone to make their own idea of FFW as long as they PM me to give them consent. (I love that this idea became so popular, I might just even start a wiki for this just because.)
Reviews:
I'm surprise seeing all the people who got in the same situation in a car ride (minus the explosion). I did as a joke to see if anyone was in the same situation XD.
DrummerBoy4life: Thanks and I hope it makes up for what happens next.
Cast49: Here you go enjoy, and tell your cousin about the good news!
Renchard19: I need to think that over but I have a far way for you to continue in the tournament, it's all going in with the character you sent me.
Illusionist Owl: In an exciting coincidence those two things are going to happen in the same chapter when Kurotsubasa fights again! I just need you to wait for it ok.
Now that all of this is over ON WITH THE SHOW!

Ch. 7: Strike the Mind and the Body! Kurotsubasa vs. Striker!
"You see it right here folks, the line ups of the tournament!" D.J. Plugman introduced to the spectators. The giant screen showed a tournament bracket with team symbols displayed.
"As you all know this is an all or nothing event, every round a field will be opened to protect the spectators so feel free to go all out! Also there are a few rules I need to lay down on ya! If you fall out the tournament ring you're out! If you're K.I.B. then see ya latta! Also this tournament has a few special rules to it!"
"Special rules?" Cast asked her cousin.
"Just a few things to help spark up the competition and I didn't even create all of the rules." Rina explained.
"Rule 1, this is an elimination style tournament, the team with the most wins advances. Rule 2, if the Team's leader is eliminated the whole team loses by default!"
"Did you come up with that Speed?" Leon asked.
"How'd you know, just something interesting to have; besides a little pressure is good for situations like this right?" Speed said.
"And finally Rule 3, if you were eliminated there will be a special loser's bracket to determine the wild card! The wild card team then has a chance to participate back in the tournament if they can defeat one of the two finalists!"
"Rina, really?" Cast said.
"People will get excited for more fights, besides the crowd seems to be enjoying these rules." Rina looked to the cheering crowd.
(Team Kurotsubasa)
"These rules are a pain." Shadow said.
"There's nothing we can do about it now, all we can do is win." D.B. said.
"Yeah, Shads we'll win for sure." Bella reassured everyone.
"I don't know some of these guys give off a bad vibe." Illu said, Mukurowl hooted an agreement as he rested on her shoulders.
"All we have to do is try our best and give our all." Key said to everyone.
"We're going to beat them all and take the prize nya!" Ravena cheered.
"Punnyaaa!" Punnya cried out as well.
Shadow let out a sigh. "Well we're here anyway we might as well give them a show." Shadow put his hand in the center and everyone placed their hands on top.
"Kurotsubasa!" Shadow called first.
"Kurotsubasa!"
(Team Mercenary)
"Such troublesome rules, so who is the leader?" Grim asked.
"Isn't it obvious it you isn't it?" Rose asked sarcastically.
"I have to agree with my inexperienced friend here." Naenia said and ignored Rose's hateful insults. "Out of us four you are the most powerful."
"Whatever, whatever, when will the fighting start!" The fourth member complained.
"Calm yourself Wolf, don't get too excited." Naenia scolded him.
"You're like 30 or something, act your own age." Rose added. Grim just let out a sigh.
"I'm 25 if you must know and I'll act the way I feel like acting." Wolf shot back to the two females.
The fourth member of this mercenary team was Wolfey141 (Wolfey or Wolf as he was called by others). He was a shady, even amongst other thieves, as he felt the need to steal from everyone especially those of higher rank than him. He wore a black leather jacket, black
baggy jeans, and brown work boots.
"Besides I'm not acting like a brat acting like a tsundere about her old teacher." Wolf said to get under Rose's skin.
"Why you…" Grim put a hand in front of Rose as if saying to say hold off for later.
"Now is not the time for this, save all that rage for the tournament. Naenia how are our chances?" Grim asked the diviner.
"This is strange." Naenia said as she tried to peer into the future with her ice mirror. "The future became clouded somehow."
"What do you mean by clouded?" Grim asked curiously.
"Many things are going to happen in the tournament. Somehow it got even harder to predict the future here." Naenia answered.
"Harder, so the prediction you gave me was a lie?" Rose asked.
"No it is still a possibility, but right now it's one of many." Naenia explained.
"Let's just hope the future for right now is us winning." Grim said.
"Yep win big or go home." Wolf said.
(Team Renchard)
"This is going to tough, seems like I'm one of the only single fighter teams." Renchard said as he looked over his odds of winning.
"I know I still have a shot, all I have to do is challenge the team leaders to a match and win. All I have to do is make it to fight Shadow." Renchard then looked to the tournament stage. 'I need to win for my sister.'
(Team Destiny)
"So what's the plan huh, what's the plan?" Aka yelled excitedly.
"You are such a child." The girl opened her fan.
"Ah you don't mean that Sakura, besides I want to battle someone!"
"That's not the plan." The man reminded Aka. "The plan is to follow Mistress' orders to the letter."
"But one of Nee-Chan's orders was to send Shadow a message; can it be me please please PLEASE!" Aka shouted which started drawing attention to the team.
"Fine, do not fail then." The man gave in.
"Yay, thanks Sen I won't let you down!" Aka said with a large smile.
"Remember if it comes down to it use your special move but don't forget the plan." Sen said again.
"Got it, got it!" Aka did a mock salute.
(Team Wave Storm)
"So that's Shadow?" The one in a blue cloak said as they looked to Kurotsubasa.
"Yep, sure has been a while since we have seen each other. I wonder if he's gotten any stronger." The one in the yellow cloak answered.
"We still have to make it that far, don't forget about the other competition L.T." The blue cloaked boy reminded his temporary teammate.
L.T. or Lightning Thief was an "explorer" as he called himself. He loves to see the new sights and areas of FFW every day. Under his yellow cloak he wore a basically Desmond Miles outfit (Assassin's Creed Brotherhood). He had short spiky blond hair with red highlights at the tips of the spikes, red eyes with flicks of orange and had a scar over right eyebrow and eye.
"I know Meteo, I know." L.T. said.
Meteo or Meteorthundrus, unlike his acquaintance, was a wanderer. Meteo never liked to stay in one place for a while and likes to continue on what he calls his boring existence. He had spiky black hair up to his shoulders, dark brown almost black eyes. He was tall and had a swimmer's body. Meteo wears a skintight Shark-skin short sleeve t-shirt under a grey vest, a tattered fingerless glove on his right hand, indigo colored cargo pants and Cerulean blue boots.
Meteo then lifted up a large anchor that lied next to him on the ground. "You know now I'm just reminding you so you won't forget, remember we are here to win as well." (Tournament Stage)
"Now kiddy's it's time for this party to begin, let's start by checking out the first two teams to battle!" DJ Plugman directed everyone to the screen.
On the large flat screen teams names shifted randomly on the screen. When the names on the screen finally shifting stopped two names shown blazingly for all to see.
Team Kurotsubasa vs. Team Striker
"Well folks we're going to have an interesting first matchup!" The two teams then walked onto the stage. "Now let's go over to the foxy Kyoto for the Team info!"
"Well like you said we have two interesting teams meeting up!" Kyoto raised her hand and a red light hung over Team Striker. "Here in the red zone, the infamous master assassins, the reality crushers, the sense striking, Team Striker!"
The crowd then began to cheer to the three man team. The team had two boys and one girl; they all had the ninja theme but still had different style of clothing.
A blue light then shined over Kurotsubasa. "And in the blue zone, they're the guild taking the world by storm, the place to go for any emergency, the Black Wings soaring into the heavens, Kurotsubasa!"
The crowd began to show their support but some also tossed some boos hoping they would lose and get their chance to attack the now wanted leader. Kurotsubasa began to gauge their standings with the crowd.
"Looks like we're the favorite to lose." Key summed up what they all were thinking.
"It doesn't matter what they think, we're going to give our all." Shadow said.
"How do we decide who goes up, there are six of us and three of them nya?" Ravena asked.
"Leave that to me." Shadow said with a knowing smirk.
"Ah sweet, you actually brought it with you?" D.B. asked excitedly.
"I always bring it with me when I'm expected to enter a tournament." Shadow then walked to the center of the stage.
"And now the team leaders will decide the order of type of battle that is going to take place!" Kyoto announced.
"I'm sure you can agree with me that we can't have a full team battle with the number of people on each side." The leader of Team Striker said. He was average height for a teen with average muscle build, blond hair and red eyes. He wore a blood spattered navy blue shirt and grey sweatpants with tennis shoes.
"Actually I have a special kind of match if you aren't scared to try." Shadow baited his opponent.
"Oh and what is it if I may ask?" The teen asked curiously.
Shadow then put a hand into one of his jacket pockets and pulled out a large dice. "My team is going to use this to determine our order, in return we choose first and you can choose your fighter, sound fair?"
"Like an expert Shadow places his bait." D.B. said.
"Now let's see the stupid fish take it." Bella said with Key agreeing. Ravena and Illu looked at the scene confused.
"What are you guys talking about?" The two newer members of Kurotsubasa asked.
"Just watch, and see how this turns out." Key said.
"So what do you say?" Shadow asked again.
"I see no problem with this, we accept." The teen said.
"You heard it here folks, the leaders have agreed to a one on one elimination style battle! Kurotsubasa has agreed to choose their fighters first, best of two matches wins!" Kyoto said.
Shadow clutches the dice in his hand and then threw it onto the stage. "Go dice-roll!"
The dice hit the ground and continued to role until it landed on a symbol, the symbol of the omnitrix with an "H" on top of it.
"Looks like you're up Bella make us proud." Shadow said as he walked back to his team's waiting area.
"Okay, leave it to me Shads!" Bella said.
"Just try not to be too ridiculous and remember the edges of the ring." Shadow said.
"Hai, you can count on me!" Bella waved off Shadow's advice and walked into the ring.
"Looks like Kurotsubasa has chosen their first fighter look at that boy…" A rock then hit the center of Plugman's screen and cracked it. "…I mean that girl is Kurostsubasa's wildcard, GeneralHyna!"
"So do you know why this team is called striker?" D.B. asked.
"I think I have heard of this team before but I can't really remember." Illu then took a time to think it over.
"All we can do is cheer Bella on and see if she wins." Key said.
Shadow took the time to observe the other teams. 'Team Striker huh.'
(Tournament Stage)
"Fighting for Team Striker is Shino! Watch out folks, he's none for destroying people's minds and turning brains to jelly! All I know is I'm ready for blood to fly!" Plugman announced.
"So I'm fighting you huh, you aren't even worth it." Shino said.
"Excuse me?" Bella asked.
"I can tell most people's intelligence based on how they looked, and you…let's just say you don't look very bright." Shino said.
"Well sorry to disappoint you but I am very smart and I'm smart where it counts." Bella said.
"We shall see." Shino readied himself.
"Okay, Bella vs. Shino!" Kyoto then backed out of the ring. "Ready…FIGHT!"
Shino quickly sidestepped a punch from Bella that left a medium sized crater on the stage. Bella brushed off the debris from her hand as she stared down her opponent.
"Well you're physically strong if that is any indication." Shino said as he got back in his stance.
"I'm not only strong but I see you care about smarts." Bella then set her omnitrix and slammed it down. A large crustacean like alien now appeared out of the green glow.
Brainstorm!
"We can continue on with or battle of wits after I have eradicated you from this stadium." Brainstorm then opened his massive shell and fired an arc of electricity from his massive brain.
Shino quickly ran around the stage as he dodged wave after wave of lightning bolts. "Super strength and the ability to transform…"
'I can't wait to pear inside her mind and crush her.'
(Kurotsubasa)
"This guy isn't a problem, I was expecting better seeing he's a copy of Shino from Naruto." D.B. said.
"Never judge a book by its cover man, you never know." Shadow said. "What I'm trying to figure out is why he's only dodging Bella's attacks and not counterattacking."
'Turn people's brains into jelly.' Illu then realized something. "I just remembered something!"
(Team Striker)
"How long is Shino going to play around?" The girl asked.
"Patience, what that girl doesn't know is that he's easing her more and more into his trap." The teen leader said.
(Tournament Stage)
"I have had enough of your insistent maneuverings." Brainstorm then slammed a claw onto the omnitrix and shifted forms again.
The alien morphed into a tall and lanky figure that was wearing an open tattered dark green trench coat over a lime green turtle neck sweater, a dark grey dirty patched wizard hat, and a light green and black stripped scarf that seems to hide his face in the shadows except for his lime green eyes. He had giant metal claws that could transform into any gadget or tool and metal cybernetic cleat-like legs. What gave this being his name was a long worm-like tail, which was wrapped around his legs. On his right wrist was the omnitrix symbol, this was Omi-Wormtail a Hyna original.
Omi-Wormtail!
"Now let's try something new!" The shapeshifter then made a mad charge towards Shino.
No one could see Shino's expression but if they could they would clearly see a large smirk on his face.
"Bella no don't get close to him!" Illu yelled.
Shino dodged a punch and then placed a glowing hand on cyborg's forehead. The warrior's form then shifted back into Bella and the two's eyes then became blank.
"Illu what's happening?" Key asked.
"I remember now, Team Striker, they known for the way to defeat their opponent using mind, body, and spirit." Illu started. "They are find different ways to destroy enemies from the inside out.
"So this guy is mind, Shino of the Mind." Shadow said. 'Come on Bella I know this isn't enough to take you down."
(Bella's mind)
"Well, this is more empty space then I thought it would be." Shino then pulled his shades off of his face and opened his eyes to reveal the Sharingan.
"Now where is her mind?" Shino started to look around.
"Hello there!"
Shino stopped and looked at a hologram of a chibi Bella. "I'm sorry but you seem to have entered here without an invitation."
"Like I need an invitation, do something useful and tell me where her brain's center is." Shino asked.
"Oh that's easy, it's down there." A path then appeared where the chibi pointed. "But I wouldn't go there if I was you."
"Please, there is no mind in the world that is a match for Shino." Shino then walked the path and didn't see the evil expression on the chibi's face.
"He's heading towards MCP General!" Bella then appeared and landed next to her chibi self.
"Good, now the fight can really begin." Bella smiled.
(Kurotsubasa)
"So what's you're saying is this guy is trying to wipe out Bella's brain." D.B. said.
"That sums it up." Illu said.
"Then we got nothing to worry about." Shadow said.
"What do you mean nya, who knows what that psycho could be doing inside Bell's head?" Ravena said.
Punnya then landed on Shadow's head, Shadow then started petting the neko and its purrs filled the air.
"Trust me, we have been to some exciting and dangerous places before but one place I never want to go to again is Bella's mind." Shadow said.
"Whatever Bella has cooked up in Bella Space is not going to be good for Shino." Key said.
(Striker)
"What is going on, he should have finished that changeling by now." The girl said in anger.
"Patience, maybe he got carried away with destroying her." The leader said.
"Or maybe her mind is so empty he's having problems…" The girl was cut off by a kunai that nicked her on her cheek. Team Striker looked and saw Shadow's hand stretched forward.
"No one insults my friends or teammates got that!" Shadow yelled.
"Such rude behavior" The girl then wipes away the blood that began to flow from her wounds. "I'm looking forward to putting you and your friends in their place."
"Oh really, first you have to beat Bella to even get a shot at me!" Shadow said.
"Not a problem for Shino." The leader said. Everyone then turned their attention back to the arena.
"What is going on seems like ever since Shino placed his palm onto the shapeshifting spitfire they seemed to be trapped in some kind of trance! Usually Shino's opponents are finished off quickly after this but it seems something is happening inside the toongirls' noggin!" Plugman said with a question mark displayed on his screen.
"All I know is that they better do something soon before the crowd begins to pour out the stadium!" Kyoto said.
(Bella's Mind)
"Seems like I finally found it." Shino said as he walked off the path. Shino was curious why he saw a large computer terminal in the center. Shino wondered for a second why everything was so quiet but placed as Bella being empty minded.
"To each their own mind, now it's time for me to win this match."
"Oh I don't think that is going to happen!"
Shino was surprised to find himself surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of warriors.
"What the hell?" Shino panicked as he was clearly outnumbered.
"Welcome to my mind but you won't be staying long." Bella said as she cracked her knuckles.
"I hope you have a good healer on your team you're going to need it." Omi-Wormtail built blasters from his hands.
"Let's show you what happens when someone messes with Bella's head without our permission." Four-Arms cracked all of his knuckles.
"How about we scrambled that mind of yours." Hyna-Wolf snarled and readied its claws.
Shino looked in fear as many humans, robots, and creatures began to close the circle he was standing in. Shino raised his hands to try and release his technique but found that he couldn't leave.
"I have put a powerful ward around this area of Bella's consciousness; no one may enter or leave without authorization." MCP spoke.
"Now let's have some fun." Bella said with a sadistic smile.
(Tournament Stage)
"Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Shino let out an agonizing scream as he then fainted on the spot.
Bella then regained consciousness and put a hand on her temple. "Wow that was intense."
"What just happened, for no reason at all Shino is on the ground passed out and Arabella is still standing?" DJ Plugman said. "Well according to the rules of the tournament Shino isn't able to battle so Arabella wins, its Kurotsubasa 1 Striker 0!"
"Shino…" The leader said.
(Kurotsubasa)
"What did I tell you, no one messes with us!" Shadow said. Bella walked over to her team and slapped Shadow's hand.
"Got that right Shads!" Bella said.
"I have to ask but what did you do to him?" Key asked.
"Let's just say he had a long chat with a few of my friends." Bella said.
"Would a few mean a few hundred or a few thousand?" D.B. asked.
"Few hundred thousand!" The men let out a sigh at Bella's lack of restraint.
"It's time for the second match nya!" Ravena reminded them.
"One more victory and we advance." Illu said.
"Well let's see whose fighting." Shadow threw the dice again. "Go dice-roll!"
The dice once again rolled on the battered stage. The dice stopped this time on an image of two guns and flames.
"D.B. you good for another round?" D.B. answered by once again shifting to battle form.
"Just leave it to me, will win this thing in no time." D.B. then walked into the ring.
"I hope so" Illu said.
"You know a lot about this team don't you Illu nya?" Ravena asked.
"When someone specializes in illusions they tend to know people in the same element, they tried to recruit me a long time ago." Illu said as she calmly stroked Muku-chan.
"Why did you refuse?" Bella asked.
"Keep watching and you'll find out." Illu said and they paid attention to the match.
"Ok everyone it's time for round 2! Fighting for Striker is the scarlet sorceress, the queen of illusions, the beauty that destroys all the beasts in her way…Himiko!" The crowd then cheered as the female of Striker took the stage.
"Queen of illusions?" Bella said.
Shadow then noticed the hateful aura around Illu. "I take it you met Himiko before."
"If by met you mean where she tried to destroy me after I kindly refused their offer then yes, we met." The symbol on Illu's forehead pulsed and her already red eyes started to glow.
Shadow then took a few steps to the side. "Right, so how are D.B.'s chances against her?"
"It all depends on how he interprets what's real and what's not." Illu said.
(Tournament Stage)
"Versus the extreme heat, the vampire of fire, the weapon of mass destruction, from Kurotsubasa…D.B!" D.B. then took the stage.
"You know normally I don't feel right beating up girls." D.B. then drew the claymore on his back. "But a fight's a fight."
"Oh no speech about how it isn't right to hit a woman, you seem like one of the types to take that into consideration." Himiko said.
"Don't get me wrong I would never purposely beat up a girl but things like quests and tournaments kind of take first over that." D.B. then got into a stance. "We are players after all."
"Yes and like players I play to win." Himiko then got into a stance of her own.
"It looks like both players and ready to go, let's hope this won't be as dull as the last match I wanted to see some blood flying!." Kyoto said. "Ready…FIGHT!"
Himiko then put a hand in her hair and took out a rosebud, the rose then fell apart and grew into a large whip with thorns.
"Ladies first!"
Rose Whiplash!
D.B. created a wall of fire and the energy infused plant bounced off and began to smoke.
"You're using plants against me; you might need a miracle to win this." D.B. then began his own charge unaware of Himiko's smile.
"Just a little while, Himiko likes to play with her prey." The leader said.
"I don't like this nya." Ravena said.
"Why Shorty D.B.'s winning." Bella said.
"Just look at her face nya, it's like a cat that's playing around with a mouse." Ravena said with a growl.
"That sounds like Himiko." Illu said.
D.B. slashed the whip again and again; Himiko tried harder to regenerate the whip but by now D.B. was already in front of her.
"Game over!" D.B. went to pierce her though.
Himiko however smiled and suddenly burst into many sakura petals, D.B. looked around and tried to find his opponent.
"What the, how did she?" D.B. looked around.
"What's the matter?" Himiko's voice echoed through the ring. D.B. then noticed that he was surrounded by multiple Himikos. "Am I too much for you?"
"This is bad!" Illu said as they saw D.B. looking in multiple directions and Himiko slowly walking towards him.
"Is this one of her illusions?" Shadow asked.
"Yes it is." Illu said as she continued to view the match.
"I don't care what's going on but" D.B. then pulled out his revolvers. "All that matters is that I hit the real one!"
D.B. let loose hit barrage that seem to pass through all the Himikos, the real Himiko however sidestepped all the bullets. The crowd watch as D.B. fired wildly and bullets bounced off the wall protecting them.
"It looks like we see why she's called the Queen of Illusions, D.B. trying his hardest to hit the real one but can't seem to find her!" Kyoto said.
"That's it!" D.B. let loose a wave of fire in all directions. All the Himikos jumped, the real Himiko however clutch her arm as a bullet clipped her arm.
Himiko saw blood forming at the wound. "So he hit me, so what it's not like…" A wave of power flowed through the air.
D.B.'s eyes now were glowing red and his fangs lengthened in his mouth. "If you want to play tricks fine, I'll just follow the smell of your blood!"
Himiko noticed D.B. running to her; she rolled from the sword that now created a crack in the stage floor. D.B. fired with his other hand and Himiko used her whip to deflect the bullets.
"Now this is a fight ladies and gentlemen, D.B. somehow overcame his disadvantage and is now using Himiko's own blood as a means to track her down!" Kyoto said.
"You got that right Kyo; Himiko didn't know that with just a few drops of blood D.B. would be all over her like a shark to meat! How is she going to handle this onslaught?" Plugman added.
(Kurotsubasa)
"How did he beat the illusion?" Illu asked.
"D.B.'s using his vampire powers to follow the smell of blood." Key explained.
"But how nya?" Ravena asked.
"Remember when I launched my kunai as a warning." Shadow reminded them. "Not only did she draw blood, she wiped it away on her own hands, also D.B. got a lucky shot against her arm and drew more blood."
"So he's relying on his nose?" Ravena asked.
"In a way yes" Shadow said.
(Tournament Stage)
"I have had enough of this!" Himiko let out a wave of power that pushed D.B. away.
"Let's see how you fight when all of your senses are against you!" Himiko then gathered vapors around her.
Sensory Destruction!
D.B. was hit by the vapors as they surrounded him. D.B. started to cringe and scream in pain, his body, his mind were being overloaded by whatever the vapors were doing to him.
'It's like my body is on fire, my eyes, and my lungs.' D.B. then focused all the fire he could around him.
Great Explosion!
A large blast emanated from D.B. and flew outwards and Himiko was caught in the blast. The crowd watched as smoke and flames filled the air.
"What just happened, did D.B. decide to suicide, did they both go up in smoke, what is going on here?" Plugman yelled. "Wait the smoke is started to clear!"
Everyone looked in suspense as the smoke started to fade and their vision cleared. Himiko's clothed were badly burned and so was some of her skin but she floated in the air by some psychic force.
"It looks like…Himiko! She's still up and standing but where is D.B.?" The two announcers then saw the blast center.
On top of a large circle of ashes was D.B. passed out with several wounds and burns on his body, hit top was burnt away to show the skin underneath.
"Looks like his ash is grass, using a move like that he took himself out as the vapors were flammable as well! The winner of round 2 is Tram Striker!" Plugman announced.
Several medics arrived to take D.B. to the medical wing. Kurotsubasa watched as their friend was healed on the way their by the medics on duty.
"Poor D.B. nya" Ravena said.
"Punnyaaaaa" Punnya let out a sad meow.
"It's ok, Muroshi will make sure D.B. gets the best treatment, but now we have to focus on winning." Shadow said.
"That Shino guy was mind and Himiko was body…so that means the last guy is spirit right?" Bella asked.
"And this last battle will decide if we advance or not." Key said. "Shadow let's roll the dice."
"Right" Shadow threw the dice for the final time. "Go Dice Roll!"
The dice skipped and rolled along the tournament's stage. The dice then stopped rolling and landed with a symbol face up. The symbol was a shield with a keyhole in the center and staff and sword crossed behind it forming an "X".
"Looks like it's your turn Key." Shadow said.
"Yep, don't worry I'll win this thing for D." Key then walked into the ring.
"You know now that I think about it I never seen Key actually battle before or at least full strength." Ravena thought out loud.
"I know what you mean; sometimes it's hard to be a member when you guys have so much history." Illu said.
"I'll have to show you two the archives later then but for now just watch." Shadow said.
(Striker)
"That was reckless what you did but it worked to our advantage." The leader said.
"Shut up, besides I won didn't I?" Himiko said as she pulled out salve to treat her burns.
"Barely because of your psychic barrier and the fact your vapors were flammable but it won't matter." The boy walked to the stage. "I will win and show the power of Team Striker."
"Whatever you say Spirit don't mess this up." Himiko then sat down to watch the match.
(Tournament Stage)
(Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep "Boss Battle")
"Oh yeah while these battles have been exciting and breathtaking the fun has got to end somewhere, fighting for Kurotsubasa…the Twin Keybearer, the Twilight Blades, the one who may hold the "key" to his team's victory…Keybladedude!" Plugman announced.
Key walked to his side of the stage while the roaring crowd was reassuring all he had in mind was avenging his teammate. Key summoned Infinity and Oathbreaker and took his dual sword stance.
"His opponent from Team Striker…the Spirit Crusher, the Ghostly Ghoul, the Soul Eater…Spirit!" Spirit walked into the ring as Plugman's finished his début, Spirit held out his arm and a scythe blade appeared.
"I look forward to beating you and wining this tournament." Spirit said with a smug grin.
"That's my line; I look forward to wiping that smug look off your face." Key glared.
"Alright let round 3 commence, Key vs. Sprit, FIGHT!" Kyoto called.
The sound of metal clashing metal signaled the start of the battle, Spirit's scythe arm was battling against Oathbreaker; Key then shot Infinity forward causing Spirit to jump back. Key took advantage and threw Oathbreaker towards the airborne demon weapon.
"Whoa, what's he doing sacrificing his weapon for a chance at a direct shot!" Kyoto said surprised.
Spirit blocked with his Scythe arm but still landed on his back. Key held out his hand and Oathbreaker appeared in a dark light. Spirit then rise to his feet.
"Impressive, not many keybearers learn skills like that." Spirit said.
"I'm not like most keybearers; I'm in a whole different league." Key said.
(Kurotsubasa)
"Hey Shadow, how strong is Key?" Illu asked.
"Very, he's one of the Betas." Shadow answered.
"Betas as in The Betas, nya?" Ravena said. Punnya mimicked her curious expression.
"Yep, one of the original ten testers of FFW, the first people besides the Admins to walk upon these lands. Betas are incredibly strong." Shadow said.
"Yep Key's is one of the strongest guys I know." Bella said.
'If it comes down to it Key will have to use that power, let's see if he can win without it." Shadow thought.
(Tournament Stage)
"A different league, just because you're not like others who slash around with Ultima Weapon doesn't make you any stronger than others." Spirit then raised his hand and made a gun.
"You're pretty good up close so let's see what happens when you fight from a distance." Spirit energy then concentrated on the tip of his finger.
Spirit Gun!
Key rolled to the side to above the blast of spirit energy, he soon was forced on the defensive to doge the spirit "bullets" aimed at him. Spirit just last as he continued his barrage.
'Spirit blast, partial transformation, I wonder what his other two powers are.' Key then used Infinity to knock a spirit blast off course and into the barrier. Key took the opportunity to charge at Spirit.
"You really think I'm going to let you get close to me!" Spirit readied spirit energy in his fist and threw it forward.
Shotgun!
A large hail of spirit blasts were sent in Key's direction. Key allowed the blast to continue until he disappeared in a flash of light.
"What?" Spirit then sensed Key was behind him. Spirit tried to move away but found he moving in slow motion.
'The hell, why am I moving so slow?' Spirit thought as he saw Key move at regular speed.
"Now get ready!" Key readied his blades
Faith…
Key points Infinity in the air, causing pillars of light to suddenly appear and slammed on Spirit, the light rotates around Key, as he moves away from him.
And…
Key starts a spin attack while glowing; when his hit connected he unleashed the beams of light on Spirit's slow moving form.
Salvation!
"And the Keybearer really does know his stuff, he achieved a beautiful combo on the Striker leader, let's see of Spirit has a way to counter after this!" Plugman said.
Spirit let out a small laugh as he felt his speed return to normal and his pain begins to dull. "You're a fan of Pokémon are you…?" Spirit's eyes held black light and shadow energy formed along his arms. Key was shocked and saw he wasn't able to back away in time.
Night Shade!
Key tried to use the light as a shield but the ghost type move hit him full force, as he rolled along the hard tournament floor the beams of light disappeared. Spirit then stood up tall and a white ring appeared around him.
"Let's finish this little game shall we…going GHOST!" The ring split into two and moved around spirit's body.
His muscle build grew to that of a weight lifter, his blond hair turned silver and red eyes became neon green. Spirit's blood spattered navy blue shirt, grey sweatpants; tennis shoes were now a sleeveless black jumpsuit with the kanji for ghost on the front in white and white boots. Spirit's pale skin became sickly green.
Not taking a minute to admire his ghost form Spirit powered a ghost ray between his hands (Hadoken Style). "Good bye Key, it's been fun battling you while it lasted." Spirit released his blast against the downed Beta.
"Key you have to move, you have to dodge!" Illu yelled.
"Slag it move Key!" Bella yelled.
"You have to move nya!" Ravena yelled with the females.
"Puuuuunyaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Punnya joined in.
"Stop holding back Key you're going to have to use it, use it now!" Shadow shouted.
Key steadily made his way to his feet and began to concentrate. 'I guess there's no point in holding back anymore.'
Key then took Oathbreaker and slammed it onto the ground; a wave of dark fire energy rose up and formed a wall that absorbed the ecto-energy. If looks could kill Key's glare could have killed Spirit ten times over.
"I'm possible, you shouldn't have been able to stop that attack let alone absorb it!" Spirit yelled in outrage.
"I guess I'm more powerful than you thought." Key then crossed his blades. "Now let me show you some real power."
(Play Final Fantasy XIII "Born Anew")
The people in the crowd stopped cheering as they felt the power increase in the air. A shockwave almost blew Spirit away as he saw energy rise out of Key like a waterfall. Key then began his own transformation.
Key's Org XIII cloak became a white sage's cloak with a pale yellow hue. Key's grey hair then became blond and his brown eyes became a crystal blue. Oathbreaker disappeared in a white light and then Oathkeeper took its place in Key's hand.
Angelic Forme
"Whoa what's with all the costume changes around her, just like before with Spirit going ghost, Key has became some sort of sage like warrior, let's see if this is enough for him to pull out a win!" Plugman said.
(Kurotsubasa)
"Angelic Forme nya?" Ravena asked.
"Punnyaaaa" The neko meowed in awe.
"This fight is serious now." Bella said.
(Infirmary)
A recovering D.B. was watching the last fight as he rested in a medical tent. As he quickly healed he looked and saw Key's transformation.
"Oh yeah, kick his ass Key!" D.B. said to the screen.
(Tournament Stage)
"Let me show you why these keys chose me." Key then ran towards the halfa.
"You really think a weapon, even a keyblade, can cut me? Spirit then went intangible as a method to block Key's strike. To Spirit's surprise the keys didn't pass threw him but struck dead center on his chest. It was now Spirit who was rolling on the hard stone floor.
"How, I was intangible." Spirit said.
"I would stop asking questions if I was you!" Key allowed light to build up on his hands.
Holy!
Spirit then flew to try and avoid the beams of holy energy. As several got closer and grazed his ghostly skin Spirit cried out in agony. Six beams of life then pinned him down on the tournament stage.
While exhaustion was visible on Key's face he readied himself for his final attack. "I can tell that someone like you gets joy out of breaking other people, you and your whole team, now it's your turn to be broken!"
Holy Salvation!
Spirit tried to move out of fear of dying but not only did the beams hold him in place, for some reason he was also paralyzed. Spirit could only watch and endure the devastating attack.
Out the back of Key's cloak celestial wings sprouts out and he then takes flight. Once airborne Key let go of his two blades and then began to he releases his keyblades and they begin to float around him similar to the hands off a clock. The blades suddenly point to the ground and shoot rays of light at the frozen phantom.
Spirit's cried were heard as several rays of light connected and began to purify his ghostly being, after so much pain he reverted back to his normal form. At the end of the light shower, Key took Infinity and Oathkeeper and combined it into a large sword of light.
"This is for my team!"
Key dashed to Spirit's weakening formed and then stabs the gigantic sword into the ground, causing a large explosion. The smoke covered the view of the winner as only one figure was standing in the smoke.
"Whoa, an epic explosion shakes the arena and it looks like from these stats I'm receiving from our hostess one of the fighters has died!" Plugman announced.
"Oh my dead you say, let's watch the smoke clear to see the winners of this exciting final round!" Kyoto once again commented.
The smoke then when fades Key is still standing tall over a large crater. Key's wings then fades away into particles and his clothes and features returned to normal.
"It's over, it's over the winners of the first round is Team Kurotsubasa!" Kyoto announced.
"You got that right, this fight was rolling from start to finish but in the end the guild with everything to prove stands tall over the smoke! Kurotsubasa is going to the semifinal round!" Plugman said.
Key staggers out of the rind and then fell to his knees. The guild then runs to check on the exhausted Beta.
"Key, Key, and how many claws am I holding up nya?" Ravena asked.
"I'm not that dizzy just tired and your hands right now not claws Rave." Key said.
"Well that was a good fight, now we just need to go check on D.B. and then check out the other battles." Bella said.
"Well we better get going then; D.B. may be impatient now because he may have healed by now." Illu said. The group helped Key to leave and begin to walk to the medical tents.
Shadow then felt a presence watching him and turned around to see that Team Destiny was watching over the Guild. The man, Sen, made a symbol in the air with his energy, a symbol very familiar to Shadow and the team walked away.
"Shadow, is everything okay?" Illu asked as she saw Shadow stop moving.
"No, it's nothing." Shadow then walked with the group.
(Infirmary)
"It's nice to see you guys win even though I had to blow our winning streak!" D.B. said as he started taking the bandages off his arms as his burns had healed.
"It's ok you didn't know the vapors were flammable and the force of the explosion could knock you out." Key said as he sat on the bed next to D.B's.
"Besides we still won and we have a shot at the semi-finals!" Bella cheered along Ravena and Punnya.
"I wonder what happened to Himiko or Shino wherever they are." Illu thought out loud.
"Before we worry about that let's see who's fighting next round." Shadow motioned the team to look at the screen.
"Well folks after taking a minute to repair the damaged stage it's time for the next round! Let the wheel of fat turn everyone!" Kyoto said.
"You got that right; let's see who the next lucky bastards to fight are and who will join Kurotsubasa in the semi-finals!" Plugman then started up the randomizer.
Names began to shuffle through the large screen and the remaining six watched for their turn to fight. The names then stopped and two names made themselves known to all.
Team Mercenary vs. Team Blockbuster
"Now we are in for a treat everyone, it's Team Mercenary versus Team Blockbuster! Let's see what these two powerhouses are going to dish out for us to watch everyone, don't leave your seats yet and if you have to pee sucks for you!" Plugman let the teams walk to the stage as their names were called.
"So it's Rose's team's turn to fight." Shadow said.
"Rose, oh you mean MAID FETISH nya!" Ravena said in realization.
"Do you really have to keep calling her that?" Shadow deadpanned asked.
"Well she has one nya unless what she did to me and Illu was a one-time thing nya." Ravena said.
"Punnya!" Punnya agreed as she remembered her experience with the bounty huntress.
"I wouldn't know but if you want to blame anything blame Evangeline from Negima for giving her that idea." Shadow said.
"Ok, ok enough with the crazy talk…" The team gave a look to Bella that said really, which caused her to become embarrassed and scratched the back of her head.
"Let's just watch the matches." Illu said.
(Tournament Stage)
"These are our opponents, two of them are weak women and the two only warriors don't even look that tough!" The bulked up leader of Blockbuster complained.
"We will see who's tough after we show you our power." Rose said with a tick mark to show she didn't like the women comment.
"Whatever, all this means is we get richer after we beat you!"
"I would have to disagree with that, the future is not on your side right now." Naenia said.
"Let's get this over with, how about best of three." Grim said trying to get the match over with.
"Three on three plus a joint battle!" The only thin and smart member of Blockbuster added.
"Fine by us, let's do this thing!" Wolf said and the teams left the stage except for two members.
"Alright everyone it's time for the second match to begin! Round 1…Rose versus…Andreas!" Kyoto announced.
"That's right everyone, the Beast Tamer, the Deadly Rose, the Beautiful Destroyer…Rose!" The light shined on Rose who paid no attention to the calls of the crowd (especially the male cat calls).
'Shadow I hope you're watching, what you see is only a sample.' Rose thought.
"For Blockbuster, the Living Boulder, the Muscle Massacre, the Raging Bull…Andreas!" The light shined on the shirtless teen with large steroid pumped muscles, white sweatpants with a belt made of iron and leather and white wristbands. Andreas had short hair and beady brown eyes.
"I'm going to crush you little girl." Andreas cracked his knuckles.
"Oh my look at your muscles, someone is overcompensating." Rose took a book from her former teacher. Rose's playful look then took another direction as she pulled out her daggers, Mazareth growled as he sensed the battle was near.
(Kurotsubasa)
"It's like David vs. Goliath!" D.B. said.
"More like Diana vs. Goliath." Bella said.
"Do you think she has a chance Shadow?" Illu asked.
"Right now I'm worried she's going to go overboard over how to humiliate Andreas, the poor steroid chomping dumbass." Shadow said. Kurotsubasa then got seated and watch the battle that was about to begin.
(Eclipse Stadium Outskirts)
"Do you think the rest have fought yet?" A voice said after he crushed a familiar pair of black goggles.
"Can't say, I just hope they finish Mistress' plan." A man with violet eyes said after he lit a rose whip up in black fire.
"The time will be coming soon."

Next Time: Another Goddess exist, who is Kusanagi?
"Who are you guys and tell me what this symbol is!" Shadow yelled.
"Oh you're talking about Nee-san!" Aka cheered.
"Neesan?" Shadow said.
"That's his way of addressing our Mistress, Lady Kusanagi." Sakura said.
