[As Crash and Dek observe the shaking ground, the ground opens up, and all cadets fall into a strange ring]
Crash: [Angered] What the.
Dek: [points at the mini stage] Look there, you redhead.
Instructor 6:Look here, cadets.
Instructor 5: Rules are simple. You fight silver cadets present here, and you get your rank based on how many you defeat. If you can't defeat anyone, you are disqualified
Crash: [Smirks] Bet they've never seen anyone like us.
Dek: [Confidently] They're about to.
Instructor 6: Remember, cadets, only the substantial advance. Weakness will not be tolerated.
Instructor 5: Let the battles begin!
[The ground vibrates as sections of the arena start to transform into smaller, isolated rings, each designated for different combatants. The crowd roars with anticipation.]
Crash: [Cracking his knuckles] Let's show them what we're made of, Dek.
Dek: [Grinning] Time to turn this place upside down.
[The first opponent steps into Crash's ring – a tall, muscular cadet with a menacing glare.]
Opponent: You're going down, rookie.
Crash: [Laughs] Big talk for someone about to eat dirt.
[They charge at each other, fists flying. Crash's agility and strength catch the opponent off guard, landing powerful blows and quickly gaining the upper hand. Within minutes, the opponent is on the ground, defeated.]
Instructor 5: Crash – one victory.
[Meanwhile, Dek faces off against his first opponent – a swift and agile cadet known for their speed.]
Opponent: Think you can catch me?
Dek: [Eyes narrowing] I don't need to catch you if you come right to me.
[As the opponent darts around, Dek remains calm, waiting for the perfect moment. He intercepts the cadet's movement with precise timing, delivering a crushing blow that knocks them out cold.]
Instructor 5: Dek – one victory.
[Crash and Dek exchange confident nods as they prepare for their next opponents.]
Crash: [To Dek] Keep your head in the game. These guys aren't pushovers.
Dek: yeah, yeah, I get it, mophead. Focus on your battle.
[The battles continue, each round bringing more formidable opponents. Despite the increasing difficulty, Crash and Dek fight with relentless determination and skill. They defeat cadet after cadet, each victory strengthening their resolve.]
Crash: [Panting, after a particularly tough fight] How many more of these guys do we have to go through?
Dek: [Also catching his breath] Doesn't matter. We'll take them all down if we have to.
Instructor 6:[thinks] Impressive cadets.
[The ground shakes again as the final opponents emerge – seasoned gold cadets who have dominated the ranks for years. ]
Crash: [Grinning] Looks like we've reached the main event.
Dek: [Determined] Let's end this.
[Crash and Dek exchange glances.]
