	When Big Band asked if anyone had mentioned the Seekers of Light, Sakura’s head sunk a bit into her shoulders. Not in a guilty way, more in a ‘I wasn’t even thinking about that’ kind of way. While she couldn’t remember if she had actually said those words, the fact that she couldn’t remember that was bad enough. She’d have to be more careful in the future. Espionage was never her strong suit. [color=f49ac2]”Uhh, I dunno. I guess I kinda assumed we were being watched at all times.”[/color] She admitted. 

When the Koopa Kids arrived back, Sakura greeted their news with aplomb and applause that she struggled to maintain as they got more specific. [color=f49ac2]”Ehh, okay. Okay! No, sure, that’s- that’s something. Definitely. We can use that. Good job, Junior-kun and Rika-chan!”[/color] She said.

[color=f49ac2]”I’m actually surprised that even the Flame Clocks were from someone else’s world. What the heck is Galeem’s problem? I still can’t even begin to understand its motivations…”[/color] 

But that didn’t matter. Pit was dead on the money- today was all about fighting and winning. Sakura punched her fist into her palm, more than ready to get brawling. 

When the golden light began to shine, Sakura clenched her fists and hopped up and down, excited. [color=f49ac2]”Come on, come on! Let’s see how the brackets shake out!”[/color] She ran over stood on her tippy toes to get to see the bulletin board with her name on it as fast as possible.

It was Pools! Sakura could be battling against any opponent in the multiverse! It could be anyone! It could be another Seeker! The drama of that! It could be a World Warrior, or it could even be…

[color=f49ac2]”Two P.”[/color] Sakura’s excitement dropped like a stone. [color=f49ac2]”Well. I guess they can’t all be winners.”[/color] That guy wasn’t only just from Sakura’s world, he was a total pushover, and overall a little annoying.

[color=f49ac2]”Anyone wanna practice dodging fireballs?”[/color] Sakura asked the other Seekers over the din of the crowd. [color=f49ac2]”Fireball spam is a winning strat if you don’t know how to deal with it! Or it could just keep your skills sharp. I got nothin’ to do for the next hour.”[/color] She said with a shrug.
