Narrator: In the first match of the 5th World Tournament, Livon fought Noriko. It was a hard-fought battle between fire and snow; at the end, it was the fire that came on top. Livon used his 'Fire Punt Kick' attack to finish Noriko off. That attack was so devastating that it ended up making Noriko unconscious, and she was taken out using stretchers by the doctors.

Baker (with a worried face): Noriko... is she going to be okay??

Nova: It was a cheap way to win the match. Kicking your opponent right in the head when she is trying hard to stand up. This is not how 'Elite Soliders' fight in the battle.

Raiden (with a dejected look)- ...........

Narrator: Livon returns to the stands where everyone was present.

Livon (to nova): Why are you talking to Raiden? If you want to say something about me, then say it in my face!! And shut that elite solider crap. It's nothing but nonsense. Are you here for a dignified loss or a straight-up victory?? I chose the second one. You can choose whichever one you like; it won't matter either way. I came here to win the tournament, and I am going to do that in whatever manner is possible!!

Noren: So he is Livon. The Son of Henry!! Haha!!

Nova: You are the one who is talking nonsense here!! You don't even have a single drop of humanity in yourself; you won't even allow your opponent to stand up two feet to finish them off. You disgust me!! Because of you, Noriko is...... sheesh!!

Suzune: Nova, Livon is right over here!! This is a tournament, a fighting tournament; there is no room for noble talk. You need to forget who is your friend and who is not once you have entered the ground.

Tegan: Oh, here is Suzune! I finally found you. I was looking for you everywhere!!

Suzune: Yeah, I know how hard you must have looked for me.

Tegan: Don't be like that. I was super busy.

Suzune: Yeah, giving autographs to your fans must be a tough job.

Tegan: Well, I can't say no to them. Can I?? Sometimes you have to accept and become an inspiration for other people.

Suzune: Ohh!! You really can't change!!

Narrator: Now focusing on an interesting conversation that was taking place between the Commanders of all four countries after watching the first battle.

All four commanders (Aiden, Skyler, Hanna, and Chikara) were seated in their royal seats. And over there was the seat of the Great Leader, Ayan. He was accompanied by Denma, who was locked up in a cell.

Skyler: Oh, Noriko, it pains my heart to see you in this way.

Chikara (to skyler): Lighten up a bit. Wahahahahaha!!! These things happen!! It's just a kick to the head, after all!! She will be fine. Don't worry about her. After all, she is one of your Slite soliders. Wahahahahaha!!!

Skyler (to chikara): What did you say??

Hanna (to chikara): You are as crooked as ever, I see.

Chikara (to hanna): Don't say it like that! I am just expressing my views, after all. Everyone has a right to do that. Aiden, you should explain this to Hanna.

Aiden (while preparing his lava fist): Keep your mouth shut, Chikara! You are irritating me. And if you can't do that, then allow me to burn your mouth. That might help you, then.

Chikara: Wahahaha!! Oh, don't scare me like that, Aiden! Don't worry; I am keeping my finger on the lips now.

Hanna: Hahaha!! That's the treatment he deserves.

Denma (to ayan): Quite a funny talk going down there. Don't you think my great leader??

Ayan (with a dejected look)- ........

Denma (while coughing blood): Ah! I forgot how busy a Great Leader is. How bad of me! Hahaha!!!

Volker (to the crowd): It's now time for the next match to begin!! It's a match between Ayumi from the Aquatic Country and Xyla from the Crystal Country.

Ayumi (while bowing down to Miyuki): Sir, thank you so much for teaching me shakti; hopefully I can make you proud in this match.

Miyuki: Go and do your best. I have full faith in you.

Hinaka (to ayumi): Best of luck, Ayumi! Show her who the real queen is!!

Raiden: Go Ayumi and make the Aquatic Country proud.

Ayumi: Thank you so much, guys, for your encouraging words.

Miyuki: Ayumi, you should hurry now. Xyla has already reached the ground.

Ayumi: Sir, I am just waiting for my mother. She said she would be here. I don't want to go to my match before meeting my mother.

Oh, she is here!! (while looking at fumika)

(Fumika enters the scene)

Ayumi (with a joyful face): Mother, you are finally here!! I actually started to think that you wouldn't come.

Fumika (while hugging Ayumi): Silly. Of course, I would come. After all, its my daughters match. Why would I want to miss it?

Ayumi (while hugging fumika): Mother.....

Fumika: And now you have to go and enjoy yourself. And yeah, just don't focus on winning; it's not important. It's a message from your father.

Ayumi (with a smile): Father said this...... Okay, I will be leaving now.

Narrator: Ayumi was leaving for the ground when she was interrupted by Livon.

Livon (to ayumi): Look out for the crowd.

Ayumi (to livon)- ........

Tegan: You have got a great student. You should feel proud about that.

Miyuki (with a smile): I already am. I am very proud of all my students.

Raiden: Seeing Ayumi's mother made me remember my father?? Where is he anyway?? He said he would come and watch the tournament, but there is no sign of him anywhere.

(At the Ground)

Volker [referee]: As Ayumi has now arrived, We shall begin the second match!!!

Unknown Person from Crowd 1: Heyy, isn't this Ayumi girl Ayan's daughter??

Unknown Person from Crowd 2: Yeah!! You are right!! I recognize her now!! She is the daughter of that loser!!!

Narrator: The whole crowd suddenly started shouting at Ayumi.

Crowd (to ayumi): GET OUT OF HERE!!! WE DON'T NEED A DAUGHTER OF LOSER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!

Crowd: Yeah, leave! No one wants to see you! YOU STUPID GIRL!!

Crowd: LEAVE AYUMI!!

Ayumi (with dejected face): ............

Fumika: My Ayumi.......

Ayan (with a depressed face): ...........

Crowd: LEAVE AYUMI!! YOU LOSER!!! LOSER!!! LOSER!!!

Xyla (to ayumi): Hehehehe!! The crowd doesn't like you, but don't worry, I like you very much. Very much indeed!! After all, you are the daughter of our very own Great Leader, Ayan. I respect him very much, too. So we should be good friends, don't you think?? Hehehehehe!! Hey, how about we shake hands to mark the beginning of our friendship??

Ayumi: You do know that we are here to fight rather than start new friendships??

Xyla (with a sorrowful face): Ohhhhh!! Don't be like that. A handshake won't hurt you. Or wait, you can consider the handshake as the beginning of our fight. How about it now?? Please, pretty please...

Ayumi: Fine!! You got a handshake then...

Xyla: Yesss! Thank you so much, Ayumi! I will never forget your debt.

Narrator: Both Ayumi and Xyla then moved forward and shook each other's hands.

Ayumi: I think all the formalities are done now. We should start the match then.

Xyla (while licking her hand): Hehehehehe!!! Fine with me.

Ayumi: Great. In that case, "STOP!!"

Narrator: Ayumi used her 'Time' shakti element to stop the time for Xyla, and then she was getting ready to attack Xyla, who was 5 meters away from her.

Hinaka: So this is the power of Ayumi's time shakti element. She has completely frozen Xyla. It's the perfect opportunity for her to attack now. But wait, why isn't she moving forward to attack her?

Narrator: Apparently, Ayumi also got frozen due to something and was unable to move. She was standing still in the same spot without doing anything.

Ayumi (with frustration): Why am I not able to move??? What happened?? It looks as if someone has gotten control over my body.

Narrator: The 5 seconds of Ayumi stopping the time for Xyla were over now.

Xyla: Hehehehe!!

Ayumi: You did this, didn't you, Xyla??

Xyla (while licking her hand): Yes, it's me. Hehehehe!! It is my 'Blood' shakti element. You were so foolish enough to shake my hands. I had a small needle attached to my hand, and the moment you touched it, you bled, and then your blood came into my hands. And by licking the blood of someone, I can control it. Hehehehe!!! Just like I did it with yours!!!
