    Episode 6: The Preliminary Rounds


    “By the way...” the old man says. “You still have to pick a name for your team.”
    “Well,” theparkman123 answers. “How about ‘theparkman123 and His Followers’?”
    “No way!!” 101KiriUchiha yells at theparkman123. “We are going to have ‘The Uchiha Shinobi’!”
    While theparkman123 and 101KiriUchiha were fighting, Prince Kazuhiko walks up to the desk. “Here’s the name...” Prince Kazuhiko whispers it to him.
    “Alright!” the old man says while organizing some papers. “It’s settled! Remember that the prelims are going to be at night, and as soon as it is night!”
    “Wait...” 101KiriUchiha and theparkman123 stop fighting and say in harmony. “WHAT?!?!”
    “It’s only fair!” Prince Kazuhiko responds. “I’m the team leader, right?”
    “Fine...” The two say in harmony again.

    The sun is high up in the sky and the group is training for the tourney. “C’mon!” Prince Kazuhiko shouts out to 101KiriUchiha. “Is that all you got?”
    “I’ve got much more!” 101KiriUchiha says overconfidently, even though she’s breathing hard. “Magma-Stepper!” She zips by Prince Kazuhiko, but he disappears as if an illusion. “What?! How’d you do that?!?”
    “Uh...” Prince Kazuhiko says suspiciously. “I’ve got to go somewhere... I’ll be right back!” And so he runs away.
    “What’s his problem?” theparkman123 asks, laying down on the ground lazily.

    Night fell, and the team didn’t get much training (especially theparkman123). “We got to go!” Prince Kazuhiko commanded, running toward Barton Town.
    “Come on, Parker!” 101KiriUchiha yells back at the lazy slob walking far behind her.
    “I’m coming...” theparkman123 says tiredly.
    They finally made it to the place where the registration desk was, and there was a large crowd of people.
    “I think now is a good time to start.” The old man says, standing on a platform. “You can call me Gray, for now. Welcome to the Village Greens Novice Tournament, hosted by me, of course. There will be 8 teams fighting in the tourney...”
    “Then why’d we all pay you!?!?” Some rude person yells out from the crowd.
    “Because...” Gray answers. “You will decide if you stay or not. The preliminary round will be a race. You will race up Boulder Mountain, obtain one of 8 medals that I made especially...”
    “Are you says your an admin or somethin’?!” Another rude man yells out.
    “No, I am not.” Gray says, getting impatient. “Once you get one of the medals, you will need to head back here. And your entire team has to be here, so if one of your teammates is 10 seconds late, you will be disqualified.”
    “Does that mean if all the medals are gone, we have no chance of winning?” Prince Kazuhiko asks out of the crowd.
    “No, it does not me that.” Gray explains. “If one team gets here but is disqualified and another team shows up after, it gets to advance. And the same goes for you who make it here before someone who has a medal. But I warn you, I will have people watching Boulder Mountain, so you need to go up it if you want to win.”
    While he was still talking, a group came. “Uh…” the leader of the group came up behind Prince Kazuhiko. “What do we have to do?”
    “Who are you?” he asks back.
    “We are team ‘Black Hartz’, and I am Black_Hart_Scorn! Heard of us?” the leader says.
    “No. We have to go up Boulder Mountain, get a medal, and come back here, but…” While Prince Kazuhiko was still explaining it to him, the race started. Everyone was pushing and shoving to get in first. “Shoot! See ya!” And with that, Prince Kazuhiko and his group left.

    Everyone made it to the Boulder Mountain entrance, and everything was still as brutal as ever. Prince Kazuhiko and his team were stuck in the middle. “Hey, guys…” 101KiriUchiha asks. “Shouldn’t I go ahead and get us a medal in reserve?”
    “How?” theparkman123 asks back.
    “Well, I can just use Flash-Stepper.” 101KiriUchiha answers.
    “Good.” Prince Kazuhiko says. “Do it. We could use something like that.”
    “Flash-Stepper!” 101KiriUchiha zipped off. But, fortunately, she zapped a few people on the way.
    “Hey, who zapped me?!?” A tough guy asks.
    “Someone zapped me too!!” Another tough guy proclaims. Then they all get in a fight, while Prince Kazuhiko and theparkman123 sneak off.
    While they were half-way up to the shrine where the medals were, a Rock Crab came out of a cave. “Darn it!” theparkman123 blurts out, jumping back. “We have to get away quickly!”
    “No.” Prince Kazuhiko says with a stern look on his face. “I need to fight this Rock Crab…” He walks up to the Rock Crab. “You’re going down! V-Mantis! Rage full!” Immediately after words, Prince Kazuhiko disappeared. A moment later he appeared behind the crab, and the crab was covered in cuts. “Hunter’s Bow!” He shot a few arrows at it. “Wait for it… V-Bow!” He jumps above the monster, shoots an arrow, and kills the monster.
    “Wow…” theparkman123 says in amazement.
    “Let’s go. Hurry!”

    They made up to the shrine to see 101KiriUchiha tapping her foot impatiently. “Finally!” she said, heaving a big sigh. “I’ve been waitin’ forever for you guys!”
    “Well, now we’re here.” Prince Kazuhiko comes up and takes the medal from her. “Can you go and set traps ahead of us now?”
    “Fine.” 101KiriUchiha says reluctantly. “I’ll leave strands of string to give you a hint that there’s a trap there.”
    “’K. Now go.” Prince Kazuhiko commands.
    While 101KiriUchiha walks away, she mutters quietly. “Geez, what’s with him?” Then she blurs away.
    “We should go now.” theparkman123 says.
    “Alright. C’mon!” Prince Kazuhiko runs ahead.
    “Dude, wait up! I can’t go that fast!” theparkman123 yells after him.
    “Then speed up!” Prince Kazuhiko says, still running fast.
    “Man…” theparkman123 sighs. That’s how it went for a while. After a 10 minutes or so, they ran into the first trap.
    “Watch out for any trap.” Prince Kazuhiko commands strictly.
    “Alrigh…!” theparkman123 was interrupted by a hidden pit trap.
    “I told you to watch out!” Prince Kazuhiko says angrily and helps him out.
    “Lighten up, dude, you’ve been too mean!”
    “I want to win, so come on and hurry up!” Prince Kazuhiko starts running.
    “Dude!?!” theparkman123 shouts after him. “Maybe… yeah! Animation Domination!” theparkman123 summons a kangaroo-like monster and speeds after Prince Kazuhiko. “Hey, Kazuhiko!”
    “Huh?” Prince Kazuhiko looks back. All of a sudden, he gets pulled up onto something.
    “Like my Kangarunner?” theparkman123 happily asks.
    “Yeah!” Prince Kazuhiko answers joyfully, showing his first smile since the race started. The Kangarunner ran them all the way to the finish area, where 101KiriUchiha was standing. “Hey, Kiri!”
    “Huh?” 101KiriUchiha turns around. “Hey, guys! Wait… slow down! I mean it! Stop…” But that’s all she could get out before the Kangarunner ran into her, smashing them into the finish area.
    “Look’s like you made it.” Gray says, standing over them.
    “Heck yeah we did!” Prince Kazuhiko says with a smile on his face.
    “Come back here tomorrow, then we will hold the first round of the tournament.” Gray says and walks away.
    “Alright, I gotta go guys.” Prince Kazuhiko says. “See ya!” And he disappeared.
    “I guess he got a little better…” 101KiriUchiha says quietly.
    “Yep! See ya!” theparkman123 says to 101KiriUchiha.
    “Yeah, bye.” She responds, then they both disappear.
    “So they’re who we’ll be facing?” a mysterious figure says, coming out of the shadows. “This is practically a free win!” He says and starts laughing maniacally and walks back into the shadows, and disappears.
