"We have now entered the elimination phase of the Sekai Taikai. The dojos who do not win tonight will be headed home. The previous rounds have determined your current rankings. The number one team will face the number 16 team. The number two team will face the number 15 team, and so on and so on." One of the judges explained, standing before all the competitors.

This moment was make it or break it, determining if the team would be fighting another day or going home with their tails between their legs. Syd couldn't lose, she couldn't have gotten this far to just let it all disappear so quickly. They had to fight and fight well.

"Okay, that means at number 12, we're facing number five, Dublin Thunder." Devon made note, clueing the rest of the team in on who they needed to look out for. "Oh, great. I heard they started a fight with some locals at the beach. They're always looking for a brawl." Eli explained, frowning.

"Then we just need to use that against them." Syd replied, not turning around. If they wanted to win they had to use their opponents traits against them, find a weakness.

"Now, for the rules of the event. Fighters will again face off on a platform." The judge continued, moving her hand to show the platform that stayed high in the air behind her. It seemed they wouldn't be fighting so close to the ground this time around.

"But this time, two fighters from each dojo are allowed at one time. If one of your fighters falls... they are out. But another teammate can climb up to take their place. However, the fight never stops. So get up there quick to not leave your teammate alone two-on-one. When all the fighters of a dojo have been knocked off, the team is out." The judge finished explaining, the fighting beginning.

Syd watched closely as The Iron Dragons fought the West End Warriors, the fight not even close as the two top Iron Dragon fighters never fell off, taking out the entire 16th team themselves. Syd just watched closely, figuring she could pick up on some of their tactics and moves by watching them.

The two were good, and with a Sensei like they did, Syd just hoped for the best. They may have been the enemy, but she didn't think they deserved to suffer like that off the mat.

"Advancing to the next round, the Iron Dragons!" The announcer spoke, the boy yelling out in victory from the platform. "What was this dude, made in a lab?" Eli wondered, staring up freaked out. Syd just frowned, very aware of what was happening in the background now.

Sam just squeezed her hand, almost like she was trying to stop herself from getting upset. "He's like a mix between the Winter Soldier and Frankenstein's monster." Demetri added, looking up in fear.
