On the
last arc, Rowen had taken advantage of Matt and Alex and was able to retrieve
both the Bird’s Tear and the Rainbow Mist. This caused Nix’s life, however.
Going back to Tigre Village, the Telsi Potion was made to revive his three old
friends: Droan, Anietta, and Narisa! At a close pinch, the main group of El
Monte was able to stop him with teamwork. Now that the potion has been used,
how will the students return to Earth? Telgei appears and tells them that there
is a possibility, but it would mean attending the Sunlit Mayhem. The ten
students have been chosen and now the battles begin at round 1 of 10!
Episode 201 – Extreme Speed, Battle against a Blink of
an Eye
Matt and Yessenia stood at the front
door leading to the open stadium. Shirley was also behind them. She spoke
first, “Hold on… why is Telgei participating? Isn’t that cheating?”
Spokesman Gerald said through the
microphone, “We were running short on new members who need an entrance fee to
go back home, so we were forced to have original members participate.”
“Members?” Yessenia repeated. “So
Telgei is not the only one.”
Shirley said to her, “Do you think they’ve
included the other two tigermen?”
“Taiger and Lagi? It might be
possible.” Yessenia responded.
“But aren’t they still in the
Druskane Continent?” Matt gestured. “They can’t be here if they have to protect
the village.”
Yessenia shrugged. “They have other
tigermen to help out anyway. I am just saying it could be possible that they
are a part of this Sunlit Mayhem thing as well.”
Shirley yelled at them, “But that’s
not fair! We’re supposed to fight for our freedom, yet the tigermen who have
been helping us all along have to fight against us?”
Amy said softly, “Maybe they will go
easy on us knowing well that we want to get out of Elsiya badly?”
All of the sudden, Spokesman Gerald
continued, “And with the rules, Telgei is forced to put one of his most
important possessions on the line. What will that be?”
Telgei answered him by yelling from
the open stage, “If I am forced to… then I have no choice but to put my two
favorite tigermen on the line: Taiger and Lagi!”
The whole group behind stage was surprised
except William, who was never really surprised at anything anyway. Shirley said
to Amy, “You were saying?!”
Amy frowned. “I-I’m sorry for saying
such things…”
~~~
“Without further ado, we will begin
shortly after the referee counts down from three!” Spokesman Gerald called out.
The referee had two flags: one red
and one blue. The red flag indicated the El Monte’s group while the blue
indicated the miscellaneous group. Stan said to the group of eight students
behind the stage, “Hey, if we are the red flag, then what kind of people are in
the blue team?”
Yessenia answered, “From my guess,
it’s a group that doesn’t really have any team. If we assume Telgei and his two
tigermen are in on this, there are seven others. That Gerald man also said they
were running short on new members which means the seven ‘new members’ could be
their own group, or even smaller, separate groups.”
Shirley panicked. “But at this rate,
we only have less than a day to fight in the mayhem. We need to find Sharon and
your friend, Jon, before then too right?”
Yessenia shook her head. “I guess we
have a lot on our plate. I want to see how this match works out before judging
the difficulty of the Sunlit Mayhem in general before we start moving around
Aielle in search for the last students.”
Jenny was worried. “Is it really
okay to waste some time like that?”
“Yes. Ten matches won’t take several
hours unless they never decide to give up. But let us see.” Yessenia said to
her calmly.
~~~
From afar, Jennifer cheered. “Go,
Brandon! You can do it!”
“You’ll be fine!” Lupe said kindly.
“Even with Telgei fighting, I’m hoping Telgei will go easy on him.”
Jennifer laughed. “Telgei is an old
geezer anyway. Maybe his fighting skills have been long gone so we don’t have
to worry much.”
Bunny jumped around. “Where is
food?”
Lupe handed Bunny a bag of popcorn,
“Food is all you think about, hehe.”
“Three…” Said the referee. “Two...
One, go!”
“Here he goes!” Jennifer said
pridefully.
Brandon began painting red with his
brush. “Here comes an interesting explos-…” Telgei was so fast that it looked
as if he teleported in front of Brandon. Telgei harshly poked Brandon on the
stomach even from his small height and then he followed up with a kick to the
shin and he spun into midair. “What in the…?!”
Before Brandon could finish
speaking, Telgei punched Brandon on the face and Brandon fell to the ground
slowly with his luscious hair flowing in the wind. Jennifer froze in dismay.
Lupe had her mouth wide open.
The battle only took about five
seconds. Matt pointed at Brandon, “Did you see his beautiful hair flowing in
the wind?!”
“It was… tragically beautiful!”
Shirley added.
Venus’s eyes were shining. “So
beautiful… I… I want hair like that!”
Yessenia suddenly changed the
beautiful mood to a serious mood, “Brandon lost in an instant?!” The whole
group became serious as well.
Matt stomped his foot, “That means…
We…”
The referee raised the blue flag as
Brandon fell to the ground in exhaust. “Brandon is unable to fight! The first
win goes to Telgei! El Monte is at 0 to 1 now.”
From the audience, Julie was wiping
her eyes. “This… this is devastating.”
Joseph agreed with her. “We’re going
to lose and not go back home!”
The whole audience was actually in
awe and silence. Telgei tucked away his cane and then he gave a short cough.
“Oh my goodness. I think I overdid things.”
Matt clenched his fists. “That
bastard… after knowing how much we want to go home, he still didn’t even go
easy one bit.”
Yessenia sighed. “You are right, but
we also have to understand that Telgei is risking his own favorite tigermen. We
have to set aside our friendship and each other’s goals in order to succeed in
our own first.”
Venus counted with her fingers, “And
now that we lost… we have to go through a total of seven matches if we win five
times.”
Peter thought about her scoring,
“Five wins… one loss… That definitely makes the seventh match the deal
breaker.”
Brandon was on the ground. He said
slowly while facing the bright sky above him, “I’m… sorry, everyone…”
~~~
Meanwhile, Winny, Jaime, and Omar
were setting off for Arri, the isolated village in the Ellusion Continent.
While on the Terris ship, Jaime headed downstairs to talk to Ghoul and Johan.
At the top, Winny and Omar sat next to each other, waiting for the docks. Winny
began, “So, there is one other person still missing and that is Tony, right?”
“Yep.” Omar barely said anything.
“And if he happens to be there, are
you going to fight him since you were controlled by one of his teammates,
William?”
“Maybe.”
“…You know, you’re not really
talkative.”
Omar grinned. “Sorry. I just don’t
know how to act with people I don’t know much.”
Winny gripped onto her Changmin
tennis ball. “Are you shy or something?” She said with her serious tone.
“Nope. Just hard to act in front of people
I don’t know, like I said.”
“Then why don’t I just break the ice
since you’ll be seeing me around for the next two years and half in high
school.” Winny suddenly threw her Changmin ball at Omar’s face and then he fell
off the deck and into the ocean.
“WAH- HEY! What do you think you’re
doing?!” Omar said while floating in the water. “Get me out of here!”
“Woops.” Winny giggled while doing
nothing to help him.
“I can see you’re already a
bastard.”
Winny laughed demonically with her
giddy tone. “AHAHAH! Don’t blame me. Blame Changmin.” She suddenly kissed her
Changmin ball, “I’m sure my boyfriend didn’t mean it though, right Changmin?
Who’s a good boyfriend? Who’s a good boyfriend?!?!? Yoooou are!~”
Omar grinned. “Tch, what the heck?
Crazy lady.” He said while looking away in annoyance.
~~~
From down below in the Terris ship, Jaime
found the cage with Ghoul and Johan. “Oh there you guys are. I almost forgot
that Omar put you guys here earlier.”
“Mwah. You’re back.” Ghoul said
while holding on to the steel bars.
Johan sat down behind him. “What do
you want?”
Jaime stood in front of them. “Just
a few quick questions, that’s all.”
Johan spat outside the cage. “Peh!
We’re not telling you anything.”
“Why would you guys sneak up on our
school just to find out about our elemental powers?”
Johan laughed. “That’s a secret!”
“We wanted to have an advantage over
every school by knowing beforehand about their powers. That way, we could win
the elemental challenges. Mwah.” Ghoul answered Jaime without hesitating.
Johan punched him. “Why are you
telling him everything?!”
Jaime glared at them, “Isn’t that
considered cheating?”
“So what?” Johan said angrily, “The
Elemental Challenge directors won’t listen to you.”
Jaime sat down in front of them. “No
biggie. If you think about it, we already know both of your powers so we also
have an advantage of you. Unlucky for you, you guys must have gotten sucked
into Elsiya with us while sneaking around the Biology classroom.”
“Yep.” Ghoul said quickly without
thinking.
“STOP THAT!” Johan punched Ghoul
again.
~~~
Back at the Aielle stadium, Jennifer
helped drag Brandon out of the stage. Lupe complimented him, “It’s okay
Brandon, you did your best.”
“My best? I barely even moved.”
Brandon said in shame.
“Well, it could have been worse.”
Lupe said kindly.
Jennifer sighed. “But we lost.”
“Don’t be so negative, Jennifer.
We’ll get through this!” She giggled.
Bunny followed them. “I like
Brandon. He nice. Why did tiger be so mean on him?”
Lupe hugged Bunny. “You’re too innocent
to know, aren’t you?”
The group backstage watched as
Brandon was taken away towards the nearby resting room. Matt shivered. “This
gives me the chills all of the sudden. If Telgei is in there, then there must
be a lot of strong people.”
Shirley hugged Yessenia, “We’re
going to lose like crazy and from the looks of it, I’ll be in severe pain! I’m
not ready to lose another nail!”
Peter slapped his forehead. “Nail?”
~~~
“We will begin our second match!”
Spokesman Gerald announced. “Who will they be?!”
Amy, Stan, and Jenny turned around
towards the stadium. Venus became alert. “It’s time already? I’m so ready for
this!”
“Match number two – from El Monte’s
side, William Ni!”
The whole group turned around and
noticed William was standing there without any worry. William tilted his head,
“Oh I’m next? I wasn’t paying attention, haha.”
Shirley said quietly, “His attention
span is kind of… short, you know?”
“And on the other side from the blue
team, we have a strange human being- no, cat!”
“DOG!!” Said the voice backstage on
the other end of the stadium.
Shirley paused for a moment. “W-Wait
a minute. I know that voice!”
“Pippy, from a strange world called
Echoville!”
Matt clenched his fists. “Just who
else is a part of this too?”
Shirley frowned in denial, “No way…
It can’t be…” Her face was red in worrisome. “This must mean Marri is here
too.”
“That makes five possible members on
the blue team.” Yessenia said. “Telgei, Taiger, Lagi, Pippy, and Marri. Two of
which are confirmed.”
Matt interrupted them, “Then what
the heck is their entrance fee?”
Pippy said out loud towards the
whole stage, “That guy with the microphone said to risk something. I was told
so! So, I choose to return to Echoville!”
Yessenia said in dissatisfaction,
“Of course. It would make sense that Marri told him to use that as their
entrance fee. Pippy does not seem knowledgeable to think on his own.”
Peter said sarcastically, “Else he
would be wishing for food as his entrance fee. Heh.”
Shirley became furious. “This isn’t
funny. Pippy is fighting against us, just when I thought they were never going
to turn against us again.”
“Luckily, William is super strong.”
Amy suspected. “Plus, he is very calm. Maybe he believes that winning is the
only option.”
Venus acknowledged Amy’s idea. “Come
to think of it, has William ever lost?”
Shirley tried to remember. “Let’s
see… Huy and I almost lost to William back at Wisteria but we barely beat him
with teamwork. In this case, Pippy is fighting alone.”
Matt remembered from the hideout of
Tigre Village. “And then I saw him lying on the ground deep in the hideout. He
must have had a fair advantage over Rowen’s extremely strong flames. Pippy
doesn’t really have that.”
Stan laughed. “Hah! And this cat or
dog or whatever doesn’t look so strong.”
Shirley watched carefully. “I sure
hope you’re right…”
~~~
At the open stadium, the referee had
already counted to one, but both William and Pippy did not make any move. Pippy
stomped his foot from his own side. “Why are you standing?! We fight now!”
William only stood there with the
same smiling expression he always gave before. Maggie said to Van, “What? I
don’t get it. He’s just standing there!”
Van responded, “He’s smarter than
that. I’m sure big brother William has a plan!
William
gasped. “Oh! We’re already starting?”
Van slide down her chair in shame,
“Or not…”
William took out his Grimoire book.
“I thank Alex for the nice return on this book. I guess I’ll make it to good
use again right here, right now.”
