The following week, everyone had logged in for the event that was underway.
"Whoa, Mii and Misery are doing amazing out there," said Maple as everyone sat at the table in the guild watching a monitor that was showing the fight. While Mii blazed through the opponents, Misery was making sure to keep her MP and HP up.
"Too bad we won't know who we're facing until we're brought into the arena," said Sally as she checked out the brackets which showed only N/A for everyone that had occured.
"It puts both sides at a disadvantage as they won't be able to prepare for their fights," said Chrome.
"But we know that you two can pull it off!" said May.
"Because we believe in you!" said Yui.
"Thanks, you two," said Maple and Sally while smiling at the twins.
"Roar!" yelled Dorasou as the match ended.
"The team from Flame Emperors moves on to the next round," he said while flying around the arena as Mii and Misery were teleported out.
"Mii really is strong," thought Maple.
"Now then, our next two guilds are the Order of the Holy Sword and Maple Tree!" said Dorasou.
"What?!" asked everyone as Maple and Sally were teleported away.
"This is a turn of events I never saw coming," said Payne as he and Dread appeared in the arena across from the girls.
"After all, who thought we would be facing each other so soon in this tournament, the random selection is something to fear for this," he said.
"But this should make for an interesting match," said Dread.
"You can say that again," said Sally before the two of them entered battle, heading away from their teammates in order to fight on their own.
"Guess that leaves the two of us," said Maple while holding up her shield.
"Don't go holding back, I've gotten a lot stronger since we last saw each other," said Payne as he readied himself for battle.
