Lila was running towards Yuki to help her until she noticed two Yuki's. One was standing still smiling, while the other one was running. She immediately changed direction towards Michael, who on his knees Covering his face.
Knowing what to do, Lila used her One Impact ability and jumped with all of her strength towards Garg, and cut his head off.
Michael was on the ground laughing. He looked at Lila and smiled, and rubbed off the blood covering his face.
" Damn that was so cool are you okay?"
Lila who was laying on the ground laughed a little bit as well. Michael came over and reached a hand out to help her up to which she accepted.
"Yeah, other than the fact i cant feel any of my muscles I'm fine. Now let's watch the other two as they beat the odds."

'I'm going to catch her for sure!'
He reached his hand's out in an attempt to grab Yuki's hair until she vanished. Braiden looked at the mist that disappeared with a puzzled look.
'Where the hell is she. Fuck, I messed up!'
He turned around, his eyes wide. There he saw on the other side of the arena, Yuki, and Alexander who was somehow back on his feet.
Alexander looked at Lila while smiling.
"Thanks, I owe you one."
Sunny was still dead, however Alexander smiled and stood in front of Yuki. He pulled out his daggers and taunted Braiden. Seeing the taunt, he immediately sprinted towards Alexander.
He was flying across the field once more creating a wave of dust. One thing that Braiden didn't account for was the fact that their was a tiny frog waiting for him to run by.
His Legs locked up as he flew face first into the dirt rolling. Braiden started to drool as he couldn't feel or move anything. Alexander started to skip over to him like a child, then proceeded to do a summersault elbowing Braiden in the face.
"Mmph!"
"Sorry, I couldn't hear you, though I think you asked for me to stab you in the throat."
Alexander began to laugh manically like some kind of villain, while stabbing the paralyzed Braiden. Alexander wiped the sweat off his face then pointed at the dead Braden, while looking at Yuki.
"We did it, aren't we amazing."
***
Finding himself on the run, Sullen, was sweating his ass off. Every time he looked back, he saw Eram sprinting at him.
'What the hell? How is he using my powers?'
Eram then ran faster towards him with a smile on his face. He was going to catch him.
Panicking he tried to use his ability once more, only to find himself low on pho. As soon as he activated it he fell to the ground unconscious. He skidded to a stop indicating he was down.
The announcer started to scream once more into the microphone.
" Ladies and gentleman, there you have it the winners of round two with no losses are the Forgotten Shadows! They have shown themselves to be capable once more! Can you guys believe it?"
The stadium roared back in response. The cheering and clapping was deafening, while the different churches where waving huge signs to join their church. There was other groups of people doing their own things however they were drowned out.
Eram got up and laughed while running over to his friends. They were all beat but they hugged each other. They looked each other in the eyes, smiling.
"Damn, we must look so fucking cool right now."
Alexander was grin was getting wider every word he spoke.
"Hell yeah we do."
Lila for once, was sharing in his arrogance. The group all looked at Eram but his mind still seemed to be off elsewhere. Yuki looked at him with pity.
'I hope he's doing okay.'
The announcer ran over with a huge grin. He began to pat the group on their shoulders and waved at the crowd. He picked up a giant crystal.
"Please everyone, touch the crystal."
They all did as they were told too. A light appeared in front of their faces and made a giant projection of them in the sky. Each one of the group looked around in shock as they were looking through the giant pictures of themselves.
"We have our first semi-finalist! If your wondering what happened to their other match, it has been canceled. The other team was un able to participate because they were caught cheating! I can not tell you how, but unfortunately they were."
He proceeded to wave his hands towards the Forgotten Ashes. picking each of their hands towards the sky, he proceeded to cheer loudly, which the stadium echoed back.
" We are going to send the Forgotten Ashes, to an exclusive interview with one of today's big sponsors, the merchant empire of Byzantine."
The crowd erupted once more as the emperor stood up in the stands. He waved for a minute before sitting back down. The Forgotten Ashes all looked at each other as they weren't warned about this ahead of time.
" Next match we have the Dragon Crest up against The Immortals."
The announcer left Eram and his friends to hype up the next event. A man in a suit approached the group with a smile. He handed the group an envelope that was thick and heavy.
"I hope you guys will join us for the interview."
Alexander accepted the envelope and looked inside. There was millions of dollars. Alexander eyes opened wide as he began to tremble and show the rest of the group.
"O...O.... Of course we'll accept, I mean after all y'all were so generous to provide us with this."
The man with a darker complexion smiled revealing perfect white teeth.
"Thank you, to keep you guys from being suspicious, and to keep it professional. We will be airing this. Obviously for profit."
Alexander still the only one able to speak.
"Yeah, sure. Do whatever you want, we don't care."
