At the very peak of both the shitstorms that took place outside the arena, everyone remained oblivious to it. In fact, they were hyped for the first round to [i]finally[/i] begin. Andre took the center stage once again with his megaphone attached to speakers.

"Aaaaaaaalright ladies and gentlemen!" Andre's voice was full of energy once again, he raised a fist up into the air as he spoke. "I hope you all kept yourselves occupied during the break, because the first round is abooooooout to begin! Here are your matchups!"

The crowd loudly cheered as Andre had his hands up into the air, flexing his fingers inwards.

"Fighters are you ready for the main event?!" Andre shouted, "Get to your stages!"

It was the same procedure as before, where the fighters were lead into stages. They were given a few moments to size up their opponents, before Andre gave the countdown.

"Three... two... one... Go!"

"Shit!" Jaden said to himself as he ran through the stadium fast as he could.

[i]Dealing with that stupid bitch, I'm about to miss the tournament! After this, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. Maybe put my foot up her ass.[/i]

But, that wasn't important right now. He needed to make it to the stage where he was gonna fight! He made it into the arena at the tailend of the gathering (he was probably the last person to get there! That was such a poor showing!). He slid into the stage, and looked around. He expected cheering from his adoring fanbase, but all he heard was silence.

"Man, ya'll are no fun..."

He grumbled to himself as he laid his eyes on his opponent...

"... [i]You![/i]"

It was that top-hat wearing, annoying ass, missile slinging, chump that got in his way. Shooting him with a missile when he tried to get his ass out the way. The only thing that Jaden had to say to him was simple.

"Pffft... what a motherfucking coincidence?" He crossed his arms, "I get to fight the same missile-slinging tool that got in my way earlier!"

"Three..."

When the countdown began, Jaden hunched over a lot, and spread his legs further than shoulder width.

"Two..."

"Well, you think you're hot shit, right?" Jaden asked. "After this fight, we're gonna see who's the greatest!" 

"One!"

"Aaaaaaaalright ladies and gentlemen! I hope you all kept yourselves occupied during the break, because the first round is abooooooout to begin!"

"Shit!" Brooke said to herself. "Looks like we wasted far too much time farting around."

And that was a shame, because she was looking forward to training Margot (and getting her nice and sweaty). Brooke merely shook her head, and put her hands on her hips. But, at least Brooke will have plenty of time to train Margot after the tournament! At least Brooke will get that real fight she was looking for. She charged out, while shouting at Margot.

"After my fight, we're gonna train for real!"

She ran all the way from the training room to her stage! She was pretty quick to make it there. Without even breaking a sweat! Now, she had to size up her opponent... who looked way too young for the tournament. She was this young, Asian-looking, girl... that was all dollied up in military gear. She looked like one of those weird anime characters! Well, Brooke was going to treat her with the same smile she treated everyone.

"You're Chung, right?" Brooke asked, "It's nice to meet ya'! I like your little cap!"

Brooke chuckled.

"Alright, make sure that you give it your all, just no holding back!" [i]Or any weird exit stage lefts.[/i] Brooke rolled her eyes as she remembered the boobie woman running away from their fight. 

"Three... two... one... Go!"

Brooke dropped into stance, as she carefully observed her opponent... and hoped she didn't pull anymore fireball bullshit.
