Action: Welcome back and I have an announcement.

Kai: ESA will only have one arc and we are halfway through it.

Nexus: There will be a fourth book and it will continue our adventures.

Action: No need to worry, not much time will pass between books, practically none will. That's all I'll share for now.

Jai: Last time, the tournament officially kicked off and it seemed to be serious. Kai knocked out his sister in the first round and she gained extreme shadow power. Not to mention Nexus is on a hunt for who is causing the distribution of shadow power. Corrode got owned by Percival and got to meet another side of him only I got to see. Let's not forget the Ace operatives had a little meeting to see which Aces they were missing.

Action: Thanks Jai, and now the disclaimer.

Ace: Action doesn't own Pokemon, music links, or art if used.

(Title screen - Pokemon BW(Anime)) A/N: Theme belongs to no one

"Welcome back to Evergreen stadium where we are hosting the class change tournament. It is October 31st, a lovely Sunday morning and we had some amazing matches for the morning session," I looked at the tv in the waiting room. Tyler announced. Today's announcers were Jason and Tyler.

"You are right as it is mostly elite students left in the tournament," Jason agreed.

"Let's recap, in A block we are still in the middle of the match between Pollon and Nexus so we'll return to that. The other A-block match between Diego and Nami ended in Nami's utter defeat. Water and electricity don't mix," Tyler commented.

"Next up is B-block. We have Ace defeating an elite student Ren Ursa. She has now defeated two elite students in this tournament. Our other winner in B-block is Kai Blaze taking out his classmate Esmerelda King," Jason commented on my block. That fight against that Krookadile was not easy.

"Next on our list is C-block and the two we have left are both elites. Percival Grimwater and Cami Xeno. Not much to say but both of them are in the top three of the elite class," Tyler said.

"Lastly is D-block and a girl from the regular class Winter, she had many close calls and times when it seemed like she wouldn't win but she made it this far. Lastly, Nebula Carbuncle is one of the elites and a high-ranked one being number five," Jason shared. The screen then changed to the match between Pollon and Nexus and Pollon seemed to be covered in marks as Nexus was barely breaking a sweat.

'As to be expected,' the voice in my head said. 'Even with her power, she is no match for the intelligence and power of that Haxorus,' what is this guy trying to say? Then his ax jaw grew and glowed in a light blue hue. That's Guillotine! He already knows he'll win. Why does he use it as a finisher? If he lands it as he did on me that will actually injure Pollon. When Nexus went to attack Pollon a shield of pink appeared around her. When Nexus's jaw hit the shield it got stuck but then it started to crack. Until it shattered, sending Pollon back and rolling on the stadium floor. Even though she didn't get hit she must've been low on energy.

"Winner of the last match of round three is Macalister Nexus!" Aristotle announced. Seems like we have our top eight and my next opponent is Ace.

Then the image this time of Ace, Angel, and my father. My father held me limply by my wrist and those two stared at me laughing.

'How weak, funny enough he has a collection of plushies and collars hidden like a submissive shit' Those words came from Ace and I remember my father gripping harder.

'I thought we talked about this,' my father's voice was a growl. What happened next was Dad was not pleased to see me holding on to such childish things, but he used it as a way to attack my sexuality saying stuff along the lines that gay men don't make it far and how this lifestyle I'll die early if not from the sex, but others hunting me down and torturing me. Another philosophy of my father is power is everything so if you can beat him he will shut up. I've tried many times but failed. The room was as quiet as I remember shedding all those tears. As I was balling my eyes out my father grabbed me by my wrist and held me in the air. I was hit by his father a few times before he left me there to wallow in shame in front of my friends. I transitioned my sadness to flames of aggression.

'You bitch! You fueled the fire of my father, a blaze that fuels itself. If you weren't a snoopy little tomboy mocking me he wouldn't have 'disciplined' me again,' I fumed knowing how my father was treating me was wrong, but I couldn't do anything about it. ' Pulling my shit out of the closet and mocking me. Why would you do that?' I remember her and Angel trying to comfort me after the outburst but I pushed them away. At that point, I saw them as traitors who hurt me like my father. 'You cotton ball bully! You were the same way as when we were kids, aggressive till those around you finally broke. FUCK YOU!' I shouted and lost control of my heat and they skittered out of the mansion, but instantly I felt regret as I knew I had lost my closest friends.

"Hey Kai, you good?" It was Percy.

"Yeah, lost in thought," I explained as I stood up to walk alongside him.

"Care to join me on my trip to get some seafood?" Percy asked. " I would normally ask Sydney but she wanted to rest today," Percy gave me a smile and I hate to admit but it was infectious.

"Sure, why not," I shrugged. As we were walking through the halls we crossed paths with Nexus, but instead of his normal smile, he sent us both a glare. What's his deal? He likes me one second and then the next he doesn't. He doesn't spend time with me anymore. When he is in our room he spends it in his room with music on. I then see Fang not too far behind him. A scowl appeared on my face, I guess that's why he's been avoiding me. I glared right back at him, but he looked hurt. I opened up to him and we would chill together and watch movies or play games. I want it back, the cuddling, the kiss, I don't care I really want him, but what's stopping me?


~Ace's~

(Battle - Xenoblade Chronicle 2)

I was waiting and ready to go, this was my time to shine and get revenge on Kai. I was stronger than him growing up, but as we entered high school he started to catch up. I have to say this power I was gifted way back at the beginning of the semester has done me wonders, I even took out some elites along the way. Watching the screen in my waiting room, we're using the center stadium for the rest of the tournament and the first match between Nexus and Diego is underway. I actually have had classes with Diego and his friend Robin. They both lost to me and I gave them the same power I have. It helped them as I put the elites on their toes during the first stage.

"Even with all your speed you lack power," Nexus's Jaw glowed in a blue hue and sliced at Diego.

"Knockout! Winner Macalister Nexus!" the screen transitioned to Tyler with Jason alongside him as tonight's announcers.

"The representative for A-block is Nexus, we have three more fights to go through," Jason shared.

"Will Ace and Kai enter the battlefield?" Tyler asked. I was ready and I'm ready to leave everything on the battlefield. This fight will have all of my emotions. Walking out to the battlefield I saw Kai already there and he had an unwavering face.

"Ace, I want to-" I cut Kai off. I think I know what he wants to say.

"Don't say it, otherwise I'll lose my will to fight," I let out a growl.

"Fine," Kai sighed.

"If both are at the ready, battle begin!" Jason cheered.

With the minimal conversation that didn't stop us from fighting. At the same time, we both launched a ball of flames that then morphed into a fire symbol. Causing a cyclone of flames to erupt in the center of the battlefield. I took my chances and let a purple aura roar around me so I could raise my stats. I then noticed an orange aura appear around Kai. Work Up, he must've changed up his moves for the match. I can't complain, I did the same with Dragon Dance. I then slammed my wings against the floor and it started to crack and split as jagged rocks came up from the ground. It looked as if Kai got hit and then I saw the rocks shatter as his muscles were bulging. So he kept Superpower, good to know. Next thing I know he is charging at me.

"What a joke you gotta be kidding," I taunted as I flew past him. He turned around and unleashed a ball of fire and before it had time to morph I charged up a pink ball of light and launched it at the fire causing an explosion. Seems like Moonblast did power up with the night and matches Fire Blast. I landed safely on the ground and then I realized I was grappling. When did Kai find the time to get back over here?

"I'm behind you," Kai whistled and I didn't have time to react as I was backdropped. As I got up I remembered how he learned how to use that backdrop our freshman year, he could barely land it on anyone. I started to laugh as I got up and Kai took a step back. I then grabbed my mega stone but as I went to reach for it I felt my aura expand. It was the shadow aura I've been wielding with no problem for the last two months. As I got trapped in my white shell the shadow aura joined me and changed my mega form and it burned.

"Ahhh!" I was in so much pain. This power has never done that to me before, it completely consumed me as my form changed and my shell broke. The cotton grew around me as it should but at the end of my wings, I had claws. Instead of an excessive amount of cotton on my back, it grew along my tail, and my talons grew sharper. My cotton changed from white to dark gray like storm clouds. "Kai, it hurts," I groaned as I was getting consumed by the power. He stared at me in fear as if I was a monstrosity.

(Still Move Forward - Xenoblade Chronicles 2)A/N: Ace's theme second version

"Ace, you accepted the power too," I could see the disappointed look.

"I took it so, in the end, you wouldn't beat me," I was struggling to keep the power in check. "When you became an elite and I didn't I got mad and was training one night," I let out a grunt as the shadow aura flowed out of me uncontrollably. " I don't remember much but I woke up on the battlefield that morning and I had a new power," my body then absorbed all the shadow aura and I felt a massive flow of power and it was a constant burning sensation. "I can't control it, please beat me!" I screeched.

"I'll," he paused as if he was thinking. I hope he knows I'm begging. "I'll do it," he feels in his front fur and activates his mega stone and he gets engulfed in flames and trapped in a white case. The shell broke and flames went everywhere. His fur fused with the flames as strands of it change color to yellow and black and then flames. He grew a fur pattern on his ears and paws. "I want a full-on battle without holding back! Let the power consume you!" He shouted. I did as he said and let go unsure of what would happen if I let the power consume me. I then let go and the pain went away, but I didn't feel like me.

"Let's do this," I charged at Kai as a blue aura formed around me and then turned red. When did I learn Sky Attack, did this new form change out Fire Blast for Sky Attack? One thing I do know is I have a bigger power boost than my normal mega form. Kai narrowly dodged, but I didn't let up after charging high in the sky. I started my descent going after Kai again.

"I'm at a disadvantage, I can't fly," Kai grunted as he kept dodging. We kept this up a few more times and he made a mistake and jumped to dodge me and landed on my back.

"What are you doing?" I growled.

"Trying to save my friend," Kai grunted. It touched my heart to hear him call me my friend. He then restrained my wings and angled us down at the ground. I tried to get him off but he must be using super power to restrain me. We kept descending to the stadium floor and with quick thinking, I turned around so Kai would be the one smashed into the ground. My plan worked and I mixed it with Earthquake. After the dust cloud cleared Kai was still standing and letting out heavy breaths. I saw a red aura rise around him again.

"Ready to give up?" I asked.

"Nope, because the fight will end now," three pillars of flame rose around him. I've never seen this from him.

"He declared that this battle will end!" Tyler announced. I forgot this was a match and that we had Pokemon watching. Then Kai blasted a massive ball of flames at me and it split into three. The three balls then changed into the fire symbol. Flapping my wings together I charged a ball of pure pink and blasted it at the fire but the flames broke through my Moonblast. I got shot and trapped in a cyclone of flames. "This is over!" Kai then fused with the pillars of flames and then stars started to circle around him. He then blitzed me as if using Flame Charge as stars followed him.

"Thank you, Kai," I whispered, I made sure he wouldn't hear me.

"New special move Pillars of Last Resort!" He charged into my flame prison and charged past me causing an explosion. I landed on the ground and could feel myself return to normal. I'm glad honestly we left it all on the battlefield. I felt something leave my body and I think it was the weird power I was wielding. Honestly, I'm glad to get rid of it.

"Winner of B-block is Kai Blaze!" Jason and Tyler announced. I then heard footsteps and Kai appeared in my vision.

"Ace, I'm sorry," Kai said, offering me his hand.

"I forgave you a while ago, back in the labyrinth. Nexus knew you were there and explained what he saw from you," I chuckled as I took his hand. I could see the blush on his face. We then started to walk off the battlefield together. I missed having my friend, maybe I'll tone down the teasing this time.

"I'm glad to have you back Ace," Kai said to me as he took me to the nurse's office.

'I'm glad to have you back too, Kai,' I thought to myself. If I get all mushy with emotion, it's not my style. I guess I'll be spending the night here.


~Kai's~

I woke up laying on my normal heated rock. I could see the sun coming through the blinds of my bedroom. Morning already. I looked at my clock and it was eight in the morning. I'm not needed at Evergreen stadium till eleven. Since I was awake already I decided to get dressed. It was a violet shirt with a shield on it and some black shorts. Even though it's autumn it's still eighty degrees Fahrenheit. In Winter the lows are sixty degrees. I then heard a knock on my bedroom door.

"It's open," I said as I was brushing my fur.

"Happy birthday Kai!" Nexus bursted through the door holding a present. I was caught off guard and I don't remember telling him my birthday.

"How did you know?" I asked.

"You told me before when we were kids," it came out of his mouth the truth. "I may not have been honest with you from the start but let me know. Puffy, happy birthday," a smile crept its way onto my face as I accepted the gift.

"I'm so glad thank you," I took the gift and opened it. It was a silver pendant in the shape of a fireball with my name engraved on it.

"I made it myself from some steel from a Steelix and Fang helped me obtain it. It took too much time and my room was a mess for a while because of it," Nexus admitted. I started to put two and two together. " I remembered when we were young you liked to wear collars so I made a special pendant. I'm not sure if you really wear them now," Nexus gave me a sheepish smile. I lifted up my front puff of fur and revealed that I'm always wearing my collar. My current pendant is my mega stone. I attached it to my collar and now I have the two pendants on my collar.

"Thank you so much," With all this feeling of excitement I kissed him quickly on the lips. He looked surprised and I surprised myself, we both looked away from each other blushing.

"Kai, you can't just do that without warning," Nexus said. I was a bit confused as to why but I understood. We then both heard a knock and went to the front door.

(Dearly Beloved - Leg Day Remix)A/N: Tyler's second theme

When we opened it we were met with four dragons and our friends. "Happy birthday Kai!" They all cheered and it was enough to make me cry. They all came into the room. Tyler, Axel, Jason, Blaze, Luna, Ace, Angel, Percy, Sydney, Corrode, Nix, Pollon, and Fang too. I remembered Jai and Zeek were in the hospital.

"We all thought it would be good to go out to eat before the tournament continues this morning," Luna said.

"You guys," I got choked up.

"We can't take the credit. Look towards your mentor Tyler," Percy said. I then looked at the noivern and he gave me a smile while giving me a present.

"Go on, open it," Tyler encouraged. I unwrapped the gift and inside was a capsule with six indents for what should be tiny beads

"What is it?" I asked.

"A prototype ORB booster and soon to flood the market," Blaze interjected.

"Yeah, the three of him helped him with it," Axel jumped in.

"So far we have warp and manifest," Tyler said.

"Warp allows you to travel to any place you've been before with your ORB since your ORB's map shows only places you've been. Manifest is as it sounds you can make anything you want to appear in front of you with limitations from ORB guidelines," Blaze explained.

"Remember these have not been legalized for official matches or even practice. That goes for all of you in this room," Jason continued. I opened the capsule and three red beads were labeled 'Warp' and three blue beads were labeled 'Manifest'.

"Where do I place the bead?" I asked.

"If you press and hold down on your ORB for three seconds it will slide up and place the bead inside and you'll know the rest," Tyler demonstrated by opening his ORB which I learned was the gem of his earring. I then reached down to my ORB which is my spiked bracelet and held it down on it. One of my spikes moved over and I placed the red bead in.

"Notice, you want to warp. Where to?" My ORB pulled up my map which covered all of the Evergreen region.

"Take me to the front of Evergreen Stadium," I said. My bracelet then detached itself and then split into a door. It showed the stadium in the distance and I walked through. I was right in front of the stadium. I turned around and it showed my friends in my dorm room. "What are you all waiting for, come on," I said and one by one we were all in front of the stadium. The door then closed and my ORB transformed into my bracelet back on my wrist.

"That was so cool," I heard Fang whistle.

"You don't know how many attempts it took to perfect that, we basically replicated teleport without the motion of it," Tyler sighed.

"Oh, and if you tap on your ORB three times it will open a storage for the beads and next time you want to use them while in storage just hold for three seconds," Blaze explained once more.

"Thank you," I smiled and it wasn't fake. It felt so good to be happy.

"It's been a while since we've seen a genuine smile from you," Ace chuckled.

"So where to for breakfast?" Nix asked.

"Why not the tea place you took me to before?" Corrode asked with energy.

"I didn't take you to be into Tea," Sydney looked excited. "Maybe you and I can go on a tea-tasting trip," Sydney sprouted some flowers on her back while lost in her excitement.

"Guys calm down, it's Kai's choice," Pollon said with her normal unnerving stare. I need something light or I won't fight well today.

"Let's go to Goodra's tea shop!" I said and we all cheered.

"Everyone, everything is on me," Tyler said as we all made our way into town.


~Kai's~

A/N: it is correct for it to be in Kai's POV twice.

(Title screen - Pokemon BW(Anime)) A/N: Theme belongs to no one

It's time for us to continue this tournament. I made it to the semi-finals as the B-block representative and my opponent is Nexus.

'Happy birthday young flame,' the voice in my head said. It was a compliment to me instead of giving an encrypted message. 'I wish you luck today,' as quickly as the voice came it disappeared.

"Welcome back to the final day of the class change tournament!" The tv in the waiting room came to life. On-screen were Jason Gon and Professor Tailside. "We have four amazing students in the final four representing the four blocks. Let's do some introductions," Jason brought energy to this morning's competition.

"First up is the A-block representative Macalister Nexus," on the screen was a picture of Nexus as Tailside talked. " He is ranked fourth in the elite class and has been a massive powerhouse in this tournament. With his knowledge of anatomy and knowing where to strike paired with his strength and speed he seems to be unstoppable," Tailside gave praise.

"Don't forget some of his amazing fights, one being his fight with Sydney Stone," Jason added.

"Next up is his opponent the B-block representative Kai Blaze," on the screen was a picture of me as Tailside introduced me. "He is ranked ninth in the elite class and has shown exceptional growth. He took out Esmerelda King in round three of this tournament, she was ranked sixth. He has very quick reflexes and sting muscles too to tackle any opponent," Tailside gave me praise.

"Let's not forget his round-one fight with his sister Nix Potter. I had chills," Jason noted the most exciting fight I had.

"The favorite to win the tournament is C-block representative Percival Grimwater," on screen was an image of Percy as Tailside continued. Ranked first in the elite class and has shown great finesse and stamina. His style of complete flame and water control is immaculate for the legendary fire dog. Beating both rank two Corrode Gaia and rank three Cami Xeno," Tailside noted his achievements.

"On that note, his most amazing match was round two against Corrode," Jason said with energy.

"Lastly is our D-block representative Nebula Carbuncle," on screen was Nebula. "Ranked fifth in the elite class. She has done well making it this far. Her high psychic abilities are so great in predicting her opponents and it helps she is fast," Tailside gave his praise.

"Let's not forget about her round two match against rank seventeen Tanya Wing," Jason cheered.

"Now without further ado let the first match of the semifinals begin!" Tailside and Jason said. Pictures of Nexus and me appeared on the screen. "If both students would get to the battlefield," Tailside announced. I did as I was told and walked to the battlefield where a crowd was waiting. A bunch of students and town Pokemon were here to watch. As I made my way I could see Nexus across from me.

"I've been looking forward to this day when you and I would get the chance to do an official fight," Nexus had a smile creep on his face.

"Same here," I agreed.

"Before we start a little knowledge you may like to know. These two fought during the first stage albeit for a short time while falling," Tailside said. A video started to play from the labyrinth and showed how our fight went.

"From the look of it I would say Nexus was the victor last time, will he win again?" Jason asked. "Who knows, but battle begin!" Jason cheered.

(Unstoppable Impulse - Shadowverse)

I opened up with Fire Blast, sending a giant flame his way, and to my surprise, he cut right through it and came charging at me. He had water charge around his tail, which must be Aqua Tail. As he swiped at me with his tail I did some quick thinking and caught his tail with Superpower. Lifting him up by his tail and then slamming him on the ground in the style of a backdrop. I jumped back to put some space between us and hastily used Work Up to raise my attack stats. Nexus got up and through the clouds of smoke, I could see a purple aura and some red eyes.

"What a great opening to the fight from these two elite students!" Jason cheered us on.

"From that exchange, you would think Kai would have the upper hand but let's watch," Tailside added. I then stood my ground as I unleashed a Fire Blast again at Nexus, but followed it up. A bunch of stars formed around me and then I blitzed at Nexus following my Fireblast. To my surprise, he took the hit from the Fire Blast and then I saw his ax jaw glow a weird orange.

"Hope you're ready for my counter," Nexus then sliced at me. His Counter and my Last Resort collided. I was the loser of this exchange as he sliced right at my collarbone. I was sent tumbling backward and I didn't get much time to breathe as I was bashed again in my stomach by a tail imbued with water. I was now at the edge of the battlefield suffering from a critical hit and a super-effective move.

"Damn Tusks," I said between my pants. "You're strong," I got on my paws and another red aura flared around me. "I need to give my all if I want to beat you," I said.

"I would be mad if you didn't give your all," Nexus made his way to center field. "I would prefer to face puffy at full strength," Nexus smirked. I reached for my collar and grabbed my mega stone. I get engulfed in flames and trapped in a white case. I feel the flames fuse with my fur as strands of it change color to yellow and black and then flames. I grow the fur pattern on my ears and paws. The shell broke and flames went everywhere.

"Let's go!" I charged at Nexus. Once again cloaked by the power of stars. I saw his tail get covered in water and he tried to counter with it, but I was able to dodge with the power of Last Resort and redirect myself to charge straight into his back. I then slid in front of him as he slouched over from my last attack.

"How'd you get faster?" Nexus asked. So he noticed from one attack alone that it wasn't just from me mega-evolving.

"Keen eye, it's thanks to my ability when I mega evolve Unburden. If my item is used or lost my speed stat raises," I was ready to keep going.

"I see and I think you know why my attacks hit hard against you. My ability is Rivalry," Nexus shared his ability. I guess he wanted it to be fair but that explains a lot.

"Let's stop talking and end this match," I was in the mood for this to end.

"I agree," he nodded. We both charged each other and Nexus's Jaw glowed a light blue color and grew a bit. My muscles started to bulge. I figured out a strategy to deal with his Guillotine. When he went to slice at me I landed on his Jaw and grabbed it. I could see the shock on his face, but he did some quick thinking and tossed me up in the sky. Quickly I then saw a tail of water coming at me while defenseless in the sky. I can't let it hit me otherwise I'll be done for. I used Fire Blast, but instead, I launched it up so I would be sent back down to the battlefield.

"Quick thinking on both competitors, who will win?" Tailside commented.

"This is so exciting," Jason added. We were both getting tired and running on empty.

(Counter Attack - Xenoblade Chronicles 2)

"You two seem rather tired," I heard a voice but it wasn't in my head. It was the voice who has been talking to me lately. I then noticed Nexus looking around. "Don't worry you two, the two of us are not here to harm you," We both were looking around. The area around us then turned white and it reminded me of the time this happened with Pollon.

"You both have shown exceptional growth together and have finally reached the point where we can bestow you a gift," This voice was different. It had a regal tone to it.

"Where are we?" Nexus asked.

"Don't worry, you're in my Purgatory," appeared before us was the steel time God.

"You're Dialga," I said in awe.

"Correct, however, my name is Damon Hagane. So call me Damon. I am your Overseer Nexus," He said with an upright tone.

"I can't believe it," Nexus had a surprised but curious look on his face.

"Damon, don't be forthright. I haven't introduced myself," the shadow I saw when I was with Pollon appeared again.

"Have I still not unlocked your power?" I said with a sigh.

"You have and let me formally introduce myself," the shadow started to fade away and revealed the sun steel lion. "I am Sol Lumino, your overseer Kai," Dean Lumino is my overseer.

"Dean Lumino!" Both Nexus and I said with alarm.

"Sorry to keep it hidden, but I had to do what I was told," Lumino kept this stern air about him.

"Yes boys and you are now considered an Ace and will be gifted some of our power," Damon continued. "Nexus since you don't own a mega stone here, it holds some of my power," Nexus was given a septum piercing with one of the bulbs holding the small stone inside.

"Cool, I always wanted a septum piercing," Nexus cheered.

"Glad you like the look, your roman numeral is five. Remember that," Nexus nodded at Damon's explanation.

"For you Kai I will morph your stone," I looked down at my collar and the mega symbol changed to an eleven in Roman numerals. "With this, you've officially become Aces and will soon know your purpose," Lumnio explained.

"You will meet your team of Aces pretty soon, for now, we must go," Damon then disappeared.

"Both of you make me so proud," Lumino said before disappearing. The world around us started to change back to normal and we were back on the battlefield.

"Why not test our new power now!" I said and tapped into the power of being an Ace. I didn't realize that meant I got a new form change as I got trapped in a white shell again. I felt flames morph around me and something sprout out from my back and wrap around to my face. My tail changed back to yellow and flowed like fire. Yellow fur grew around my paws. I felt my face morph a bit and grew a horn. My shell broke and flames went everywhere. "So this is the power of a Solgaleo. I feel amazing," I flapped my wings and was off the ground and my ability is now Contrary.

"It seems things are heating up further down there with Kai busting out another form!" Jason squealed. Using Superpower I felt my muscles grow stronger on top of the normal strength I get. With Contrary as my new ability, my attack and defense rose instead of falling. I flew at Nexus and his jaw grew a bit and lit up in a light blue hue of color.

"Once again Superpower vs Guillotine, who will win?" Tailside commented. I landed on his jaw and this time flipped him over my back. It felt amazing to have my strength grow as I'm using a powerful move, it feels like cheating. When I got up I saw Nexus get up and dust himself down. We are both exhausted but I want to win.

"Guess I'll have to give this new power a test too," Nexus then flicked the septum piercing and a white aura flared around him as he got trapped in a white cage. As his shell broke his new form was breathtaking. It's as his strong scales got stronger armor on his chest and back. His arms got long and at the end of his tail became an ax. Not to mention his scales are deeper green. My ORB screen came up and showed his new ability is weak armor. Nexus then walked to the center field and I joined him. Us only five feet apart.

"Seems like it's time to wrap this up," Nexus smirked.

"Come at me!" I'm ready. I've been waiting for this.

"Nexus has a new form too! This match is only fitting for the semifinals! I'll ask again who do you think will win? Nexus or Kai!" Jason cheered again with enthusiasm.


Action: You guys this is the longest chapter yet, beating the record from FLA of chapter 40 Break Time(5,955 words). This chapter(6,044 words).

Kai: Already it's on chapter fifteen.

Nexus: Can you blame him? This chapter is filled with a lot and he has to add an additional unplanned chapter since everything didn't get done in this one.

Ace: Everything with me.

Kai: My birthday.

Nexus: Our fight took up a lot of time too.

Action: Yup it's fine, but we need to wrap this up.

Nexus: Up next: The semi-finals continue. My match against Kai has me fired up and I won't hold back. Percival already secured his place in the finals, that's not fair. Will I be able to figure out who's been handing out the crystals? Let's see what happens next, Chapter 15.5: Answers Pt.2, Only in ESA.
