--- Ladies and Gentlemen ! Welcome to the pre-finals, group battles ! Today, some of the strongest teams will compete, those who were able to surpass all the others ! First, welcome, Dragonflies !
Two girls took to the stage. Their suits were like scales, completely green and covering all parts of their body, and they had small wings on their backs.
--- Charming ladies. Their bodies are fast, their will is strong, and they have great teamwork. And now meet me, Star Power !
And here on the stage, our fighters came out.
--- They are strong, fast, and strong. It's not easy to break them ! Both teams have passed all the battles, all the tests, let's see who wins ! Fight !
The dragonflies began to move. One of them began to go behind the back and the other, distracting attention, began to attack both opponents at once.
She started punching Augustus continuously, causing him to go into full defense. And when Amethyst went behind her, she quickly stretched out her leg and made a few quick punches to the stomach.
--- Oh. It seems that Dragonflies live up to their name ! Fast and unpredictable.
Meanwhile, the second of the dragonflies went behind Augustus. Before he knew it, she leaped up, took his head in a grip with her legs, and shoved him into the ground.
--- Oh. It was one of the varieties of RKO ! Not bad. It seems that Star Power is losing.
Amethyst, after recovering from the pain, began to attack the dragonfly. She began to strike quickly, but her opponent dodged every blow. And after another blow was delivered, the dragonfly walked around her, took her by the stomach, and threw her over.
--- It was a German Suplex. Both Star Force fighters are out of action ! Start the countdown.
1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..
Only at the last second, August was able to pull himself together and stand up. He was barely on his feet, but he was standing.
--- I think we jumped to conclusions ! They still have powder in their flasks.
The dragonflies began to move toward August. One of them came around behind him, took his head in a grip and held it tightly. The other, taking a run-up from the other side of the ring, then bending her arm and taking his head in a grip, by inertia crushed him into the ring.
--- I think this is the final....
But it was not there ! After August hit the ring, he jumped up sharply, and accelerated with his feet, took out one of the dragonflies right out of the ring !
--- .... I wanted to say, but it was not there ! That was awesome ! Now we have 1vs1. Who will win?!
Augustus and the dragonflies stood opposite each other. The dragonflies began to move. She ran to August, but missed and hit the side of the ring. Pushing away from him, she wanted to smash his head into the ring. But no. He dodged again, and as she passed him, he took her neck, lifting her up and slamming her hard against the floor. She didn't move again.
--- Amazing ! Fantastic! I thought Star Power was over ! But El Primo still managed to get them straight to the final ! There's only one battle left ! Who will be the champion ? We'll find out in a week ! I was with you Drago4n, before the meeting !
[ On the beach ]
Augustus and Amethyst sat on the sand and watched the slowly beating waves.
--- Sorry. I was useless in this battle.
--- Don't talk like that.
--- But it's true. I was carried out in the first minutes of the battle. If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have made it to the finals.
--- Hey !
He crouched close to her and slammed his fist down on her arm.
--- Who signed us up for these battles ?
--- Haa, well I am.
--- Who helped me in the battles ?
--- I am
--- Who's my partner ?!
--- I am !
--- Right ! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here at all. So don't be sad, and cheer up. We have a final battle ahead of us.
---Understood.
They fell silent and continued to stare at the ocean. The sound of the waves slowly grew mesmerizing, as if someone was eating a cradle.
--- August.
--- Hm ?
--- Let's go. I'll take you to my hiding place.
--- Okey
Amethyst led him to the beach house. And with the help of the warp, they got into the cave.
Although it was a cave, it was still bright. It was bright because of the strange little yellow circles that were flying around here. But that wasn't the most important thing. These were..
--- Canaries ?
--- Really cool ?
The whole cave was filled with canaries. They flew back and forth, one after the other, just sitting there. There were hundreds of them here.
--- How did they get into the cave ? And how did they survive ?
--- I have no idea. When I found this place, they were already here. But this is not the most important thing. Listen.
Singing. The canaries began to sing. Their singing was in the same rhythm, as if they were led by a conductor and they were an orchestra. It was beautiful.
Augustus and Amethyst just sat and listened to the singing.
--- Listen.
--- Hm
--- You still haven't told me where you got that scar.
--- Are you sure you want to know ? 100 % ?
--- At all 200 % !
--- Whatever you say....I got it when I tried to escape.
--- Escape ?
--- This was my first escape attempt. I had a plan, and I worked it out carefully for a month. But still, I couldn't. I was caught.
---...
--- She made me apologize. And then, as a punishment, she left me this scar. That I would remember. I am a prisoner, and I will never escape.
--- Dude. This sucks.
--- I know. But as you can see, I did. Now I'm free as the wind. It's all in the past.
After that, the conversation itself faded. They didn't need to talk. Now they rested, listened to the singing, and rested. That was all they needed at the moment, and they weren't interested in anything else.
