Third Person POV

"G!" Hana exclaims right as she notices Ajax near them. "Where have you been?! You missed two battles!"

"Oh, I had some family issues I had to attend to," Ajax responded dismissing his battle outfit. Zack's face showed confusion upon hearing that.

"At least you're here now. It's time for our battle," Titus said looking over at the arena.

"Speaking of which, who are we versing?" Zack asked. 

As soon as he said this, Professor Port chimed in. 

"Would teams GHZT and ZNTH enter the arena?" Port answers Zack's question. 

"Oh," Zack said, "ZNTH? Haven't heard of them."

"Me neither, hopefully, they give off a good fight," Ajax said dismissing his combat outfit. 

Right on cue, Team GHZT headed to an airship and into the arena to their waiting room.

"Welcome back, everybody! For our next match, we'll be seeing Teams GHZT and ZNTH go head to head. Please welcome Team GHZT!" Oobleck announced and GHZT made their way into the arena. 

The crowd cheered for them loudly. Excitement filled up everyone's body. Except for Ajax, who could help but notice the sheer amount of people who were probably watching him. Hana was able to notice this and put a hand on his shoulder. 

"Look at it this way. You can probably take on each person here and win against them," Hana said as she motioned around the arena, earning a grin from Ajax.

"That's one way to put it, but you're right." Ajax didn't expect this to work. He took a deep breath and immediately felt more relieved. 

"Now please welcome their opponents, Team ZNTH!" Port announced and right on cue, four teenagers stepped in. "Zephyr, Nikita, Traiser, and Horizon!"

Zephyr is a tall, white thin boy with green eyes and jet-black hair. He was wearing a belt across his whole torso where he was carrying metal daggers with a hint of green on the tips.

Horizon is a short, white thin girl with black hair tinted royal blue. She had black sharp eyes and small facial features. She was wearing black light armor around her chest, shoulders, elbows, and knees, and metal plating around her arms and legs. Beneath the armor was a light yet blue solid bodysuit. She was carrying a metal bident coated in gold.  

Traiser is a tall, white, bulky male with short blonde hair and green eyes. He's got spiky steel armor on his shoulders, torso, elbows, and kneecaps. He's wielding a war ax almost as big as him. He had some green smoke evaporating from his shoulders and head.

Nikita is of average height girl with blonde hair and brown eyes. She's wearing a black jacket with hints of dark green on it. Beneath she's wearing a white blouse and green leggings with vines on them. She appears to not be wielding any weapon.

"Now for the battlegrounds!" Port announce as some holograms were rolling between different biomes the arena would be. One hologram lands on the mountains and the other stops rolling on the forest biome. "The mountains and the forest! This ought to be interesting with Mr. Ghost's semblance!"

Geist shrugs in confusion as to why the narrators had given the enemy an advantage over them. Sure, it wasn't the biggest advantage, but it was something. They told the enemy that they ought to be careful of Geist and avoid him.

"Well then, let the match begin!" Oobleck announced with an excited scream.

The match starts teams GHZT and ZNTH start running at each other, except Traiser, who starts lifting his war-ax in preparation. GHTZ notices and they stop in their tracks.
