“Wow!!! As expected from the geniuses!!!” the commentator screams.

From miles away the sound of the battle between Erraz and Damian is heard with the ground shaking violently and a thundering sound roaring through the region. The participants look round in amazement as to what can be the cause of such eruption. Added to the shaking and sound, is a powerful wind which even causes some participants to lose their footing and some riding on beasts even fall off with their beasts stumbling from the pressure.

“What the-,” Kiiara says. She halts her beast (the same as Serena’s) for a moment to look for the cause of the eruption. When she turns back to look for what happened, she immediately feels an attack heading towards her. She turns and faces right; quickly she lifts herself from her beast and sustains herself on it with her left hand, as she twists her body sideways to dodge the incoming water attack. Using her hand as a pivot, she spins on the axis, lifts herself and lands on the right side of the beast where the attack is coming from.

“Alayna,” she whispers to herself. She quickly joins her palms together, puffs her mouth and pushes her head backwards a bit. From high up in the air, the attacker rushes down at Kiiara and when she is just some distance away, Kiiara launches an attack.

“Elemental Release: Fire Style: Breath of fire,” she says and blows into the air. Large amount of fire pour out from her, burning everything in her front however, the attacker, Alayna, evades by a hair’s breath after pulling herself backwards at the nick of time when she lands on the ground.

“Kiiara!! This time I’m going to get you and your sister. I’ll make sure to end you both in this competition. I’ll make your Father gets it for what he did to my teacher!” she screams as the fire cleared away.

She stretches both her palms, wide open, at Kiiara and bubbles of water, purple in color, form around her.

“Elemental Release: Water Style: Rapid Bubble Fire!!!” she exclaims. The bubbles begin launching, like bullets, one by one, at Kiiara.

“Those bubbles explode upon impact,” Kiiara says to herself, having fought Alayna some time ago.

“Nevertheless, Elemental Release: Wind Style: Breaking Gust,” she says, joining her palms and with a deep breath, blowing into the air.

A powerful amount of wind pressure forms and clashes with the incoming bubbles creating an explosion. While this happens, Alayna quickly dashes, appearing at Kiiara’s left side, throws a dagger at Kiiara who quickly turns and fends off the attack with a thin rod she is carrying.

“It’s not over!!” Alayna yells and launches another attack.

“Elemental Release: Water Style: Water bullet,” she says, shooting out water with the speed of a bullet from her mouth, at Kiiara. Kiiara is quick to dodge by bending forward and also makes a run for Alayna. The water bullet attack is powerful enough to completely severe one of the legs of the beast of a random participant that was coming up behind Kiiara.

Once Kiiara is close to Alayna, she slides under Alayna’s open legs, appearing behind Alayna. She quickly jumps up as if to twist Alayna’s neck. Alayna turns to face Kiiara however, Kiiara does a front flip and goes over to Alayna’s back. Alayna is about to turn again when Kiiara signals her beast with a whistle and it runs forward with speed. Immediately Alayna is dragged along as the beast runs.

“What?!” she screams.

“How?!” “When?!” she shouts.

“Ha ha ha,” Kiiara laughs.

“You didn’t notice the thin wires I used. Right from your first attack, I put the wire on my beast with my left hand then when I slid under and jumped like I wanted to twist your neck, I was putting the wires around you. I finalized it when I flipped over you,” she explains, smiling.

“The wires are thin and light but very strong. You said you want to get me and my sister? Sure go ahead, however, this is a competition not a time for some petty revenge. We have our goals too you know,” she concludes as the beast swings its head, flinging Alayna some distance away.

“Let’s get out of here before she comes,” Kiiara says and hops on the beast.

“Thank you baby boy,” she adds, rubbing the furry head of the beast. The beast smiles at Kiiara and takes off at top speed.

Some distance away from point B, Erraz appears from thin air and is in bad shape as he crashes into the ground. Kiiara, riding towards the checkpoint, notices him. All participants are wearing different colors of bands. When Kiiara notices that his is similar to hers, she quickly picks him up and puts him on an empty beast she finds and takes them both with her to point B where the others are already waiting. Serena has reached there a while ago and is stretching to see if Kiiara is on her way while she chats with Dia who just arrives.

“Oh there she is!” Serena exclaims, seeing Kiiara and gives a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t…think…that punk…was that…strong. What a scary technique,” Erraz mutters as Kiiara arrives point B with him. Damian comes riding majestically and slowly on his beast, as he arrives point B as the last participant to pass the first stage of the Glory games.
