At the palace, Chen announces the competitors for the next match. Unfortunately Cole got caught snooping around underground. He lost his Earth and was sent to the factory.
"Skylor, Master of Amber, versus Jacob, Master of Sound. Fight! Fight!" "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a Jadeblade by its toe!"
The two start fighting.
"Master of Sound's gotten stronger since the last time I saw him." "Indeed. Jacob has indeed gotten stronger. He grandpa would be so proud."
Kai finds his way to the arena.
"Excuse me. Excuse me. Uh, don't mean to block your view. Just passing through. Sorry, all of these temples look the same. Did I miss anything?" "Ugh. But the looks of it, you didn't miss much." "YOU GOT THIS BABE!!"
Skylor blushes hearing Shade cheer her on. Jay points to everyone he upset.
"Maybe we shouldn't be sitting together. I mean, the more they think we're a team, the bigger targets we put on ourselves." "Don't say that, we are a team. Sure we just lost Cole and still can't find Zane, but we're a team. Just smaller. All the more reason to stick together." "I feel like I'm forgetting something." "Skylor's fighting?" "What has him so excited?" "He had a crush on her until he found out they might be related."
Shade chuckles.
"What's so funny Shade?!" "I'm laughing because her element isn't Fire. She's the Master of Amber, power of absorption. She can emulate the power of anyone she's touched. Dummies."
Kai perks up.
"You're telling me we're not related?!"
Shade punches his shoulder, hard.
"She's my girlfriend idiot." "Oh, boy. Here we go again."
Skylor was able to confuse Jacob and grab the Jadeblade. Everyone cheers for her.
"THAT'S MY GIRL!!!!" "Yes! Go Skylor!" "Winner! And loser!"
Chen opens a trapdoor for Jacob.
" hope the Tournament of Elements has entertained you as much as it has me. To thank you, I wanted to give everyone fancy jewels and untold shiny things."
He pulls out a box of jewels.
"But then this morning Master of Earth got caught breaking the rules and was eliminated from the tournament. And that made me very upset. For their insubordination, all of your fancy quarters will be taken away, and tonight everyone must sleep together in the chow house! That is all. Thank you, you can go." "Nice one, Jay!" "Whoa, easy, Romeo." "It's not like he could have stopped her." "What do you mean (Name)?" "She was trained by MQ, the Monkie Queen aka the leader of a highly advanced and extremely strong army. It would take the Stone Army and EVERY elemental master to have a slim chance at beating them." "Dang, that strong mom?" "Yes Lloyd."
When Skylor got close enough, Shade wraps his arms around her and kisses her lips.
"Don't worry about them. We aren't here to make friends, just to save ours." "Yes, but your exclusion of others has only made enemies. Beware how you treat those around you, for they will treat you the same."
Shade pulls away from the now bright red Skylor.
"Even though we have been dating for a long time, you still get so flustered when I do that." "I-i-it's just o-o-out of c-character for y-y-you." "That's the point Darling. Maybe after this whole entire thing is over, we can continue where we left off back home."
Skylor's face went a darker shade of red, skin all over her body soon matched her face. Steam even came off her head.
"I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THAT!!!" "THEN STAY OUT OF MY HEAD NEURO!!!"
