Richard went to find Lance. When he found him he looked around to see if the Second Hand was near by. "Lance, I need you to help me find out what is going on with this tournament. The second hand is very suspicious. He made up all these crazy rules, and I'm sure he wanted me to die so you and Kai would be kicked out. But why would he go out of his way like that?" Richard asked, sounding paranoid.
"Excellent. All is in place for my Ascendence. A fresh body, with a fresh brain." He stood over Justine's grave, he reached down and tendril lashed out of his hand and into the ground. They retreated back into his hand but moments later. He took up his blade and it glowed a deep green. "Justine is dead, as is Bass. Tsu is dead too. I am Zero."
( cry i'm sorry! )
Kai stood alone in the hall, she felt the eyes of the other contestants watching her. "I'm....I'm sorry Justine. Your were my friend, and I betrayed you."
"Yeah right you selfish b!tch!" a group of people with swords surrounded her. "You helped that Lance guy cheat. You knew what would happen you witch"
"No! No! I didn't, I swear!" Kai looked around at her attackers, frightened. "I swear I didn't! I just wanted to make the fight fair."
"The fight was fair!" a boy attacked her with his sword, and she baerly had time to denfend.
