(Third Person P.O.V) Chen's Skating Rink
The skating rink was about normal size. It was dark red In the centre of the rink was Chen's chair. Clouse stood beside it. And against the top of the right wall was a large scoreboard with Master of Form and Lloyd's faces above the score numbers.
The rest of the Elemental Masters stood at the start/finish line of the rink. Kai kept clinging to the nearest person repeatedly, trying not to fall.
"Welcome... To the Thunderblade!" Master Chen announced, skating toward the Elemental Masters.
"Hey, I know this! This is-" Griffin Turner cheered. "No! You don't know this! This is my game! I made it up!" Master Chen interrupted, scoldingly. "Fully original!" Master Chen lied.
Next to where he stood was a rack with a few blades hanging on it, as well as some orange and green helmets. Master Chen took two of the blades, and two of the helmets: one green, the other orange.
"A blade for Lloyd, Master of Energy." Master Chen said, tossing a blade and the green helmet to Lloyd, who caught both of them with ease.
"And one for Chamille, Master of Form... Where is she?" Master Chen asked looking around. Chamille appeared in one of Chen's guards.
"There you are." Master Chen said, tossing the other blade and helmet to her. She smirked as she caught both.
"What exactly is this again?" One of the Elemental Master asked.
"Easy," Master Chen sneered. "Skate across the finish line with your blade in hand, and you get a point. Most points when time runs out Wins." Master Chen explained rather perkily as he pointed to the scoreboard, where a clock with fourteen minutes for the competition had been set up.
"What about us?" Tox asked. "Are we supposed to just stand here?"
"You all get to help whatever competitor you choose." Master Chen said smirking Skylor, Griffin Turner, Neuro, Paleman, Toxikita and Shadow all took Chamille's side. Jay, Kai, took Lloyd's.
"I gotta be honest guys, This doesn't look good!" Jay whined.
(Y/N) came storming into the arena the look on her face just screamed touch me a die.
"Wow, what's her problem?" The Master of Light asked. "I guess Chen wants her to play." Griffin Turner guessed.
"I don't think that's it." Tox warned. "What's that stuff on her jacket?" Skylor questioned out loud noticing the Kabuki makeup.
(Y/N) ignored them all and headed straight for Chen. "Looks like Chen is going to be the focus of her wrath." Kai snickered and Jay elbowed him in the gut.
(Y/N) was mad she missed her chance to steal the book thanks to Nya, you could practically see the steam coming out of her ears (Y/N) was that mad.
That book could be (Y/N)'s only chance to find her way home and Nya got in her way with that little tantrum of hers.
Nya was going to pay for that. (Y/N) would make sure of that.
(Y/N) seized both Chen and Clouse by their throats. Everyone was in stunned silence. (Y/N) meant business "Oh yes Nya would pay..."
"Listen very closely you two!" (Y/N) growled her eyes changing colour to orangish red.
"I do not appreciate your little girlfriend trying to attack me!" (Y/N) screamed tightening her grip on both Clouse's and Chen's throats.
"What?" Clouse chocked out.
The Elemental Masters all looked at one and another whispering amongst themselves.
"One of the Courtesans attacked (Y/N)?" Skylor whispered to Griffin Turner. "When? Why?" Griffin Turner whispered back Skylor only shrugged and continued to watch.
"You heard me!" (Y/N) roared. "Oh yes, Nya would pay... Just not today... saving Zane and these idiots was more important then Nya's little tantrum..."
"One of your little Courtesans attacked me!" (Y/N) spat at the pair. There was no denying that fact because of the Courtesan make-up that had stained the front of her grey jacket was obvious for all to see and there was no getting around that.
"What one of the Kabuki attacked you?" Master Chen chocked out. "Don't play stupid Chen, they're your Courtanasns, they do, what you tell them to do." (Y/N) growled tightening her hold.
"It wasn't me. Clouse?" Master Chen struggled to ask his fellow captive. "It wasn't me either, Sir." Clouse confessed trying hard not to pass out.
"We didn't send anyone to attack you, honest." Master Chen pleaded Clouse who was turning purple could only nod in agreement.
"I'll find out who did and have them punished severely." Master Chen promised trying to appease the enraged (Y/N).
"See that you do." (Y/N) growled dropping the pair to the floor without a care.
Master Chen and Clouse were gasping for breath on the ground as (Y/N) to over Chen's throne and taking a seat.
Everyone let out a gasp as (Y/N) was now laying sideways on Chen's throne and staring lazily up at the ceiling. (Y/N) hit a button with the bottom of her boot heel and the throne produced a mechanical arm holding a silver serving tray with a cold drink for (Y/N) to sip.
Chen frowned at (Y/N). "Clousy Clouse, she's sitting in my throne. I wanna sit on my throne." Master Chen whined at Clouse.
Clouse looked at (Y/N) whose eyes were still a dangerous colour and sipping the drink without a care in the world.
Before Clouse could object to anything (Y/N) spoke. "Dareth, Come here." (Y/N) called out and as soon as those words left her lips the brown ninja appeared from behind the throne.
"Yes, (Y/N)?" Dareth asked with a cocky smile and holding a palm leaf ready to fan (Y/N) if requested.
"Ah, there you are. I was wondering where you had wandered off too." (Y/N) said taking another sip of the drink. "Can I have a drink?" Dareth asked looking at what (Y/N) was sipping.
"Sure." (Y/N) shrugged hitting the button again this time the throne produced a drink with a little umbrella in it for Dareth to enjoy.
Master Chen started to throw a fit. "Now, Master maybe you should share for now since one of the Kabuki attacked her." Clouse said trying to stop things before they escalated.
"Fine... Everyone to there places." Master Chen demanded stomping his feet and pouting.
Lloyd and Chamille took their places at the starting line. As soon as Chen started the competition, the both of them took off faster than anyone could comprehend. The rest skating behind, watching whoever they took sides with.
(Y/N) sat up hitting another button and a mic was dropped in her lap and the throne produced some kickass speakers.
Dareth broke out into a huge grin just waiting for (Y/N) to start singing. "Sure why not." (Y/N) shrugged standing up on Chen's throne and started belting out a song.

Lyrics:
Welcome to the bloodbath jump into the tub
Fist-fight, death-match come and join the club.
Kick-start your face with a metal-clad boot
You should give up now your retaliation's moot.
Kai, however, had a late start, because of his continual struggle to balance himself.
I'll run circles round ya, I can touch the sky.
I'm gonna make ya hurt and I'm gonna make you cry
You want to mess around? Well come on let's go
I got no time to waste let's start the show.
The scoreboard so far read: 10-9. Lloyd was one point behind Chamille. At this time, Jay had Chamille's blade, taunting her.
I'm the one that your mama said
'Don't mess with her or you'll end up dead
She's that type that don't follow any rules'
You're feeling tall, you're feeling tough
I'm sorry sweetheart, it's not enough
Your purse won't help you win this duel
"I got it! You want it! Come and get it! Come and get it!" Jay sang, skating backwards, as Chamille growled at him.
The bigger they are then the more that they bleed
The deeper the scars that won't heal
Buckets of pain as you lie there in shame
Knowing how true defeat feels
Lloyd crossed the line again, blade in hand, and the score went up. Chen started to get mad, and had one of his servants climb a ladder with a cardboard number in his hand Chamille talking to Shadow, Master of Shadows.
I'm the one.
That was born in a nightmare, a murderer's grand design
I'm the one.
I gleam like a blade and I'm harder than diamond
I'm the one.
Who rose out of filth and will fall to no-one
I'm the one.
I'll steal till your blind and defeat you from inside your mind
"Aw, his back is hurting!" Chamille pretended to whine, tauntingly at Lloyd who was behind and had some catching up to do.
You're still standing up? Well let's go another round
Stinging with pain and you're gonna get crowned
You like the way I dress? Yeah I know I'm fine
The blood's gonna stain but it won't be mine
"Shade!" The Master of Form called out to The Master of Shadow. He skated up next to her, quietly. "Strike his back!" Chamille commanded. The Master of Shadow nodded and skated towards Lloyd.
Just chill here while I drop you into the brush
See you when I land and you're gonna feel the crush
Lay right down and grab a little rest
I guess you didn't know that you were dealing with the best
The score was 11-11. Lloyd was catching up. Neuro and Griffin Turner were holding Jay's arms.
You shoulda stayed at home today
This fisticuff won't go your way
This confrontation isn't just for fun
Griffin Turner had raced around the rink, running Jay into Lloyd. They both slammed against the wall. Lloyd said something to Jay and raced off, his blade in hand. As they raced to the finish line. Something happened and Lloyd fell.
It might be hard to hear me say
Kicking your ass was child's play
I hope you're not crushed by this ridicule
A slap on the wrist and a kick to the chin
A hint of the flavour of steel
No one to blame it's the end of the game
The humiliation is real
By this time, Lloyd had used his blade to trip Chamille and she fell too. They both got up and raced to the finish line, both of them inches away. There were only ten seconds left.
I'm the one
That was ripped from the dark and exposed to the sun
I'm the one
Filled with hate and burning vengeance.
I'm the one
I'm the face of your fears, you'll never outrun
I'm the one
Who will conquer your kind and fulfil my design
Lloyd and Chamille were millimetres from the finish line. Chamille crossed first, and all hope was lost for the Ninja...
...Until it was discovered Chamille didn't have her blade.
(Y/N) smirked to herself and her eyes finally went back to her normal colour. All was right with the world once again... Well almost right...
