After we got the lovely news of where we were sleeping, we went over. There were sleeping bags already laid out for everyone. Lloyd started to walk over to where I was. But he was stopped by one of the guards. I was starting to get up when he shot me a look to not get ready to fight. 

Lloyd tensed up as the guard left. "What was that?" I asked as soon as he sat down on the sleeping bag next to mine. "He said I should try not do anything tonight?" Oh my gosh that's a guard from last night. I froze for a second and Lloyd laughed a little. "Hey, what's so funny mister?" I punched him lightly in the shoulder.

"Nothing, just you're face." That little green jerk. I rolled my eyes and laid down as the lights turned off suddenly. Sending us all into darkness. The ground was incredibly uncomfortable. "Night greenie." 

"Night (n/n)." I fell asleep with a smile on my face.


"Good morning, fighters. Oh, that's right, it's the middle of the night." We were all woken up by the sound of a gong and Clouse's voice. Not something I would want to get used to personally. But before we could actually get up, some of the guards put roll skates on us. 

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lloyd groggily back up into me as he tried to get away. "They are going to hurt you, trust me." I yawn as I stand on the skates. I'm okay with roll skates. But not great. Like I don't fall every ten seconds once I get used to them. 

But sadly, I'm not used to them yet and fell right back down. "(N/n) you okay." Kai sat up finally awake. "Yeah I'm good." I stand up again and this time don't fall. Sweet. 

"Do you know what time it is?" Jay groaned out as a guard walked over to him. "Does it matter?" I asked as I helped Lloyd up. "No, I guess not."

"Roller skates? Whoa, aah!" Well there was bonded to be one person who didn't know how to skate. It just happens to be Kai. He fell right onto the floor in front of Skylor. She giggled and helped him up. Ooo so there might be something on Skylor's side. From all I know of her, she doesn't seem like a person who would stop to help someone else for no reason.

"Let me guess, another one of Chen's impromptu battles?" Lloyd grumbled as he started to get the hang of it. "Oh, roller skates. I love roller skates!"

Lloyd and I shared a look. Of course Jay is the only one of us excited to have wheels attached to their feet at who knows in the morning. "Did I ever mention I once placed first in the Mother-Son Skate-Off? Hehe. I should have never admitted that." Jay skated around showing off how easy it was for him.

"Weirdo." Pale grumbled as he appeared next to me. Scarring me enough to fall but Lloyd caught my waist before I actually fell. "Thanks." I gave him a smile as He let go. "No problem." 

"As for you, we need to talk about you not scarring me like that." I pointed a finger at him whiling smiling. I really don't care that he did. It's his power. Who am I to say what he does with it. "Master Chen wants everyone in the Royal Arena. I wouldn't be late if I were you." 

Great another arena. This guy has as many arena's as he has buttons. Which is too many! But almost all of us have fought. Who could it be? One of them has to be Lloyd because he hasn't fought yet, but who else? Whose his opponent?

"If most of us have already fought, why are we all in skates?" Skylor asked Clouse. Asking what we were all thinking. "Only two of you will be fighting, but the rest of you will have a chance to affect the outcome." Ooo, this might be fun.

"Who's fighting? Tell us now." Griffin appeared out of no where, demanding answers. Very Griffin of him. "The green ninja versus the master of form." Clouse gives us all the answer and left.
