Angela felt a sharp pain run through her leg after she had kicked Linda and fell onto one knee. She looked down in pain to see that Linda had tried to cripple her leg, attacking her knee before her kick could do anything.

[quote]Raising one shaky hand into the air, Linda admitted defeat. "I forfeit."[/quote]
Thankfully, it looked like her kick had the desired effect. Though she didn't expect Linda to outright forfeit, she had won another fight, but it didn't sit well with her. Another forfeit... Was that really a victory? She thought that she would be fighting tooth and nail in this tournament to even have a chance of winning, but the past few fights have just been... Easy. She sighed and got up, her leg shaking a bit trying to hold itself together. She bowed to Linda and walked off with her supposed victory.

It seemed as if the preliminaries were finally over, the few who had passed were the ones who would truly fight in this tournament. Angela looked around at her future opponents, they all seemed stronger than the ones she fought. Hopefully now she will get an actual challenge.

[quote]"Those that did not make it through the preliminaries, we congradulate you on making it here today." Said the announcer, using a stage voice and no microphone. "You should be very proud to have even been invited to this great tournament. For your efforts, you will be provided with free accommodations in the best hotel on this island and of course free entry to watch tomorrow's tournament."

"And for our victors, you will be staying here, in this main facility, on the second floor. Please, get yourselves a good night's rest. Tomorrow, everyone in the world, and beyond for that matter, will be watching you. You'll want to be on the very top of your game!"[/quote]
Angela listened to the applause and sighed. "This... This is where the real fun begins..." She mumbled quietly as she went to sit down. She wanted to gather her thoughts for a moment before turning in for the day.
