Chapter 13:Prince Charming

An hour has passed by since Cloud infiltrated the huge fortress like mansion.The tournament was about to start in about an hour.Cloud got off the bed in the infirmary and put his clothes on.People in town were already hearing rumors about a tournament going on later taking place in the city and people around cities, town, kingdoms, and villages were all ready to meet up at the tournament stage to see where the princes of the world and Cloud would be fighting at.

"Alright I'm ready to go now!"Cloud said.Just than Violet came through opening the door slowly.Cloud smiled. "You know it's not lady like to barge in without a knock."

"I-I'm sorry. I just wanted to see if you were all healed up.I'll leave"

"No it's okay, I'm just messing with you."

"Oh, okay.Well we better be on our way. The tournament stage is kind of far and I don't want us to be late.For father's sake."

"Oh yeah I guess that makes sense. Before we go can I ask a question real quick?"

"Yeah sure go ahead."

"Why's your name Violet? You don't have any violet hair or violet skin so why?"

Violet looked down at the ground "Well, i'm not supposed to tell anyone but I guess I can make an exception for you."

"Sweet."

"I have multiple super powers.I can make things fly and control them, I think father calls it telekinesis.I can also heal people but I haven't really mastered it yet, and I can also teleport but I think everybody can teleport.But every time I use them my eyes turn into a violet color so that's why my mother named me Violet before she..ran away.She couldn't handle my father anymore so she left,but I always thought that it was because of me and my powers.So I stopped using them."Violet started to have a sad expression on her face.Cloud patted her head.She looked up at him to see him with a smile on his face.

"Everything happens for it's reason.The only thing we can do is not to let anything get to us and just put a smile on your face."Cloud said.Violet looked up and smiled at Cloud."Anyway we should go now.I don't want to be late." Violet nodded her head and they both head out of the mansion.When they were outside they were greeted with a horse cargo, ready to take them inside.They were greeted with a butler who opened the door for the carriage.

"Your majesty."The butler said as both Cloud and Violet walked inside the carriage. As soon as they walked in the carriage, the butler lightly tapped the horses and they began to ride off.

"Well than, now that i'm in here there's no going back now."Cloud said looking out the window

Meanwhile back in town.....

"Whooo. That's the last of them Snow. All the booths are set up and the festival is ready to go."Dawn said wiping a sweat from her forehead.

"It took a while but it looks beautiful."Snow said "Now all we need are some cute little kimono's for later tonight and we're all good."Snow replied.

"Thank you girls..."An elder lady said

"It's no problem Mrs.Hatsuya! We're happy to help"Snow said

"I'll make sure to give you and you family some candy apples for later tonight."Mrs.Hatsuya said

"YAY" Dawn screamed

-

-

"Yo, Yo! Are you going to check out that tournament today?"Some random civilian group were chatting

Dawn and Snow looked at them."Hell Yeah! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the princes!" "I heard that they have a new kid fighting in the tournament. Some kid with black hair and red eyes." "Oh that's this kid right here.Cloud Lightning? He doesn't really look like much."

-Prince of the Golden arches, Brit (the blonde prince.)

-Prince of Silver. Ian(The silver haired prince.)

-Prince of Night. Moonlight (the dark haired prince)

-Prince of Blood. Hurlin (The red haired prince)

-Prince of the Wild Wolves. Cinos (the marroon haired prince)

-Prince of Skies. Davon (the blue haired prince.)

-Prince of White Waves Silin (The white haired prince.)

-

Dawn and Snow both looked at eachother in confusion.Dawn and Snow walked up to the group.

"Excuse me."Snow said

"Hey there Snow, what's up?"

"Can I borrow that poster real quick?

"Yeah sure go ahead."The civilian said handing over the poster to Snow and Dawn.When they looked at the picture they could see 7 princes on the page and Cloud in the side of the picture.

"Uh-Oh.We better go tell the others"Dawn said.Snow Nodded her head. "We should split up though.I'll go find Tony and Amber and you go get the others at the beach."

"Yeah, I got it."Snow said

Snow ran to the beach and Dawn activated her wings and flew off to find Amber and Tony.

Snow reached the Beach and found Viper,Ellie,Arno, and Nexo in there swimming suits out in the ocean.They were pretty far out though so Snow wasn't able to see the that well.

"Guess I'm gonna have to go for a little swim."Snow said smirking.Snow dived right into water where her legs transformed into a mermaid tail.She swam super fast and make it deeper into the ocean in just a few seconds.When Snow reached them she decided to mess with them for a little bit.Snow grabbed Nexo's legs and slowly started to pull him down.Nexo screamed which made the other freak out as well.

"HAHAHA got you guys."Snow said.The kids sighed in relief.

"Snow, what are you doing here?Weren't you and Dawn doing something?"Arno said

"We're done already. But we need to go now.Cloud might be in a little bit of trouble."

"How bad is trouble?" Viper asked

"As in might be at risk of losing his life kind of risk."Snow said.They all looked at eachother and got out of the water.They than all rushed back to Edward's house and saw Dawn,Amber, and Tony in they're clothes ready to rush over to where the tournament might be at.Edward looked at the poster than looked at all the kids.

"Everyone get dressed.We're going to a tournament."Edward said

Behind the scenes of the Tournament Arena:

Cloud arrived at the Tournament arena where he saw all the other princes in the area as they all looked at him.

"So that's him, huh? The random that wanted to challenge us?"Davon said

"He doesn't look that strong"Cinos said.

"Stop looking at him.He won't be here for long anyway" Silin said.

As Cloud got out of the carriage Violet came out behind him.All of a sudden all the princes attitude changed fast from annoyed at Cloud's face to flustered to see Violet's beauty.

"My princess."Ian had said grabbing her hand and almost kissing it.She pulled her hand away and moved closer to Cloud. "Ah I see. This normal civilian as casted a spell on you. Well than I will make sure that you will change your mind later in this tournament."Ian said turning away and heading into the tournament arena, as did all the other princes.

"Man that dude's creepy. Well we should be heading inside as well"Cloud said.Violet nodded her head and went inside with him. All the boys went inside a prep room to get themselves ready.Cloud stayed behind to talk to Violet. "Well this is where we separate for now.I'm going to keep my promise to you."Cloud said with a smile and a thumbs up. Violet smiled at him. "I'll be rooting for you Cloud." Violet said.She walked away and went towards the spectator view.Cloud looked back and walked in the room to see that everybody was staring at him.Cloud looked down to not make eye contact but as he walking Ian sucked his teeth. "What would a beautiful princess want with a guy like you"

Cloud didn't say anything.Just than Ian tries to land a punch in the back of Cloud's head only for Cloud to grab his hand.Ian looked shocked.Cloud than looked at him and placed his hand down.He than sat down on the floor and chilled until the names were called for the princes and Cloud to fight.As the boys sat down and waited there were crowds of people walking into the tournament stage and onto the bleachers.Edward instant transmissioned all the kids to and himself towards the tournament stage.

"Man I'll never get used to that,."Arno said

"God damn.Look at all these people here."Ellie said.

"Stay close everyone."Edward said.All the kids nodded and they all walked inside to sit down in the bleachers.Just than an announcer came down with an microphone.

"How does Cloud cause this much trouble in such a small amount of time? I only dropped him off for like 2 or 3 hours."Dawn said.All the other kids nervously chuckled,as did Edward. "HELLO EVERYBODY!! WHOOA HO, IT LOOKS LIKE WE A GOT A FULL HOUSE TODAY! IT LOOKS LIKE WE;RE GOING TO HAVE QUITE AN AUDIENCE! IF WE LOOK UP YOU COULD SEE KING GORRUDO AND PRINCESS VIOLET VISION!" THE CROWD CHEERED. "IN A FEW SECONDS I WILL BE SHOWINF WHO WILL BE FIGHTING WHO IN THE FIRST BOUT SO KEEP YOUR EYES AND EARS OPEN!" THE CROWD SCREAMED IN EXCITEMENT

"OKAY FOLKS HERE WE GO FOR THE FIGHTS."THE ANNOUNCER SHOUTED, SHOWING A PICTURE OF WHO'S FIGHTING WHO ON A BIG SCREEN.

"WELL..WELL..WELL WE GOT OUR FIGHTS FOLKS. AND NOW ITS TIME FOR OUR FIGHT!"THE CROWD CHEERED/.

"CAN CLOUD AND IAN PLEASE COME OUR FOR THEY'RE FIGHT PLEASE"THE ANNOUNCER SCREAMED.

Cloud got up off the floor and headed towards the top of the arena.kust when he finally reached the arena Ian had pushed him.Cloud caught his balance however and just kept on walking to his side of the arena as did Ian.

"I can't wait to destroy you in front of all these people."Ian said

"ALRIGHT FOLKS! IN THIS SIDE TO ON THE LEFT WE HAVE THE PRINCE OF SILVER, IAN!"THE CROWD CHEERED LOUDLY." AND ON THIS SIDE WE HAVE THE CHALLENGER OF THE PRINCES,CLOUD"THE ANNOUNCER SAID.THE CROWD WAS SLIGHTLY QUIET AND SOME PEOPLE BOOED.

"Man that's gotta be embaressing."Nexo said

"Kick his butt Cloud!" Viper and Ellie screamed

"Alright boys when you hear the beep you will begin to fight,okay? Oh, and one more thing.If one of you guys get knocked out or are defeated you will be disqualified from the tournament do you understand?"The announcer said.Both Cloud and Ian noddded and the announcer walked off the stage,Just as he walked off however there was a loud beeping noise.The fight had now begun.

IAN RUSHED CLOUD SHOOTING SILVER LIQUID AT CLOUD'S FACE.CLOUD PUT HIS ARMS UP IN FRONT OF HIS FACE BUT THE LIQUID WAS SO HOT IT BURNED HIS ARMS.CLOUD STUMBLED BACK A LITTLE BIT BUT IAN HAD RUSHED CLOUD FAST LANDING A SOLID PUNCH TO HIS FACE.JUST THAN CLOUD HAD ALMOST FELL OFF THE STAGE BUT WAS ABLE TO GAIN HIS BALANCE JUST IN TIME.IAN CONTINUED TO RUSH CLOUD BOTH PUNCHING AND KICKING CLOUD ALL OVER HIS BODY.

"AAH" CLOUD SAID AS HE STARTED TO STUMBLE IN PAIN.CLOUD LOOKED UP AND GOT HEADBUTTED TO WARDS THE GROUND AND HAD HOT METAL POUR DOWN ON TOP OF HIS LEG "AAAAHHH." CLOUD SCREAMED.IAN STARTED TO LAUGH."HAHAHAHAH DIDN'T I SAY I WAS GOING TO MAKE YOU SUFFER?"VIOLET LOOKED DOWN FROM SPECATOR VIEW, HESITATING TO KEEP ON WATCHING THE FIGHT.

"THIS ISN'T LOOKING GOOD EDWARD"AMBER SAID.

"JUST KEEP ON WATCHING.YOU'LL SEE"

IAN PUT HIS FOOT ON TOP OF CLOUD'S HEAD STOMPING HIM.JUST AS IAN THOUGH HE WAS GOING TO CONTINUE HIS CHAIN OF STOMPS, CLOUD GRABBED IAN'S FOOT.IAN LOOKED AT CLOUD WITH A SHOCKED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.CLOUD SLOWLY GOT UP AND BROKE IAN'S FOOT BY SQUEEZING IT WITH HIS ONE HAND. "GAAAAAAAA"IAN SCREAMED.CLOUD TOSSED HIM INTO THE AIR, AND FLEW UP TO PUNCH IAN IN THE GUT HOWEVER CLOUD PUNCHED IAN IN THE GUT SO HARD IT SHATTERED SOME OF HIS BONES.IAN THAN STARTED TO FLY DOWN SINCE THAT PUNCH THAT CLOUD LANDED HAD PARALYZED IAN,SENDING HIM FLYING DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR BUT CLOUD KEPT PUNCHING HIM EVERYWHERE ON HIS WAY DOWN, AND TO FINISH OFF HIS COMBO HE SHOT A KI BLAST AT HIM SENDING IAN EXPLODING IAN DOWN ONTO THE STAGE.IAN'S BOY WAS WOUNDED BADLY ALONG WITH IAN NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE ANY PARTS OF HIS BODY.CLOUD FLEW SLOWLY DOWN ONTO THE STAGE.CLOUD STILL STOOD TALL, RIGHT OVER IAN, AND WAS HEAVILY BREATHING.THE CROWD WNET FROM DEAD SILENCE TO NOW CHEERING WILDLY

"WOW! THAT WAS A PRETTY FAST BUT WILD FIGHT!"THE ANNOUNCER SAID"IAN STARTED OFF WITH A SIZZLE BUT CLOUD WAS ABLE TO ENDURE THE PAIN AND SHOW IAN THE GAINS! THE WINNER IS CLOUD LIGHTNING!" THE CROWD KEPT THEY'RE CHEERING.Violet sighed in relief.King Gorrudo looked at her and than looked back down at Cloud who was now being escorted out of the stage by doctors as well as Ian had needed to be carried out of the stage by multiple people doctors on a mobile bed.Cloud was than placed into the infirmary

"Man that fight was crazy.I thought for sure I was going to be defeated or maybe even worse."Cloud said.' "Hello Cloud.I will be your doctor for the day.You should be fine for now after that fight.Here you go,eat this and you should be fine."The doctor said with his hand out with a bean. "You want me to eat a bean?Shouldn't I get like proper medication or something?"

"That bean is called a senzu bean.Eat it and you should be back on your feet."The doctor said.Cloud took the bean from the doctor's hand and ate it."WHOA.it's like I feel a rush of energy just hitting me in the face! I feel much better now."Just than the kids entered the infirmary and jumped on top of Cloud.

"Cloud! That was so scary!" Snow said. "Yeah man you had us on the edge of our rope out there."Viper added. "Don't worry,I'll be fine.Are you guys even allowed to be here?"Cloud said. "Who cares?Edward's holding our seats right now."Arno said "That next fight is starting though so we should get out of here and get to watching it.You should watch it too Cloud since one of them will be your next battles anyway.It'll be useful to see what they'll do next."Nexo said.

"Yeah i'll check It out later.You guys go on ahead."Cloud said.They all smiled and left the infirmary.Cloud turned around to the other bed in the infirmary."Hey man listen up,you may have been a jerk but you were pretty damn strong.I had to end that battle quick or else I could've been done for."Cloud said

"Screw off kid."Ian said.Cloud smiled and walked out of the infirmary and into the waiting room to both wait for his name to be called and watch the fights as well.

"IF YOU GUYS THOUGHT THAT FIRST FIGHT WAS CRAZY, WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THIS SECOND FIGHT! THESE TWO PRINCES HAVE BEEFED FOR A LONG TIME AND NOW IT'S TIME TO SEE WHO'S THE STRONGEST OF THE TWO.PLEASE WELCOME MOONLIGHT AND SILIN!"THE ANNOUNCER SCREAMED AS HE WAS FOLLOWED BY THE CROWD'S LOUD SCREAMS."ON THE LEFT WE HAVE THE PRINCE OF NIGHT MOONLIGHT!"THE CROWD SAID SCREAMING.AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE PRINCE OF THE WHITE WAVES,SILAN!" THE CROWD SCREAMED A LITTLE LOUDER FOR SILAN."NOW THAN, YOU GUYS KNOW THE RULES.ONCE YOU HEAR THE BEEP YOU GO DUKE IT OUT."THE ANNOUNCER SAID, WALKING OUT OF THE ARENA.BOTH MOONLIGHT AND SILIN GOT INTO THEY'RE FIGHTING POSITIONS.Just than there was another beeping noise, the second fight had now begun.

MOONLIGHT AND SILIN RUSHED TOWARDS EACHOTHER FAST BOTH DODGING AND LANDING ATTACKS.MOONLIGHT LANDED A TORNADO KICK ON SILIN AND BACKED UP FLYING BACK TO HIS SIDE OF THE TOURNAMENT STAGE.SILIN STARED BACK AT MOONLIGHT WITH BLOOD DRIPPING FROM HIS LIP.MOONLIGHT REACHED OUT BOTH HIS ARMS AND CHANTED WHAT LOOKED TO BE A SPELL."DARK MIXER!"HE SCREAMED, SHOOTING SPIKY FRISBY BEAMS OUT OF HIS HANDS.SILIN PUT HIS HAND OUT AND SCREAMED HIS MOVE."HOLY TORNADO!"SILIN SAID SHOOTING A LARGE WHITE TORNADO OUT OF HIS HANDS, SUCKING THE FRISBIES INSIDE THE TORNADO.JUST AS THE TORNADO DISPERSED MOONLIGHT RUSHED SILIN, PUNCHING AND KICKING HIM UNTIL SILIN FINALLY REACHED THE LEDGE OF THE ARENA'S STAGE AND WAS ABOUT TO FALL BUT BEFORE HE FELL,HE GRABBED MOONLIGT AND TRIED TO BRING HIM DOWN BUT MOONLIGHT COUNTERED BY PUNCHING SILIN IN HE FACE THAN, ROARING A LARGE SCREAM OUT OF HIS MOUTH SENDING SILIN FALLING OFF THE STAGE."NIGHT TERROR."MOONLIGHT SAID, STANDING ON TOP OF THE STAGE.

"SILIN IS OUT OF BOUND! THE WINNER IS MOONLIGHT!"THE ANNOUNCER SCREAMED FOLLOWED BY THE SCREAMS OF THE CROWD.

"That dude loves his close combat."Viper said."That roar was a lot like my friend Javier's."All the kids looked at the arena concerned

Cloud looked through the spectator arena's balcony and was greeted by two of the princes on his way.

"Yo! I don't think we had a proper introduction yet.My name's Hurlin and this right here is my friend brit.Your Cloud right?"Hurlin said with a smirk on his face.Cloud nodded and looked back at the arena to see Moonlight staring back at him while walking away. "Your pretty strong you know that right? I didn't think Ian could be trampled like that.Listen I um, don't want to start off at the wrong foot just because those other guys showed you a bad example of us.Not all of us princes are like that."Hurlin said putting his hand out to shake. Cloud smirked and shaked his hand. "Well, thanks.I hope we could have a good respectable fight if we ever get put up against eachother."the princes and Cloud smirked at eachother.

"Well I should be going now.I'm up next for this fight."Brit said. "Good luck man"Cinos said.Brit waved and went down the stairs from the spectator arena and into the arena stage where he saw his opponent Davon walking slowly up the stair case of the arena.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE HAVE COME DOWN TO OUR THIRD FIGHT OF THE HOUR!THIS FIGHT SEEMS TO BE FIGHT OF THE MOST PRETTY SINCE, GOD DAMN THESE TWO BOYS ARE GOOD LOOKING! ON THE LEFT SIDE WE HAVE THE PRINCE OF THE GOLDEN ARCHES,BRIT!" THE CROWD SCREAMED, MAJORITY OF THEM BEING GIRLS AND WOMAN.

"Your starting to drool,Dawn."Snow said.They both laughed

"AND ON THE RIGHT SIDE WE HAVE THE BEAUTIFUL DAVON,THE PRINCE OF THE SKIES."THE ANNOUNCER SAID.CINOS ALSO HAD A LARGE REACTION BY THE GIRLS AND WOMEN IN THE BLEACHERS."ALRIGHT BOYS YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. ONCE THE BZZER BEEPS YOU FIGHT! JUST DON'T GET RUNG OUT AND LAST OE STANDING WINS."The announcer said as he walked off the stage.Once he was off the stage the buzzer had ran.The third fight had begun.

AS SOON AS THE BUZZER RANG THE TWO BOYS DID NOT MOVE.THEY HAD JUST STOOD ON THERE SIDES OF THE ARENA.JUST THAN IT HAD SEEMED DAVON GOT TIRED OF STANDING AND RUSHED BRIT AS HE WAS STANDING STILL.DAVON SMIRKED THINKING IT WAS GONNA BE AN EASY VICTORY. "GOLDEN ARCHES SOFT TOUCH."BRIT SAID COUNTERING DAVON'S ATTACK AND LAYING HIS PALM DOWN ON DAVON'S STOMACH.DAVON COULDN'T MOVE HIS BODY THAT WELL SINCE IT FELT LIKE DAVON COULDN'T RULE THE PHYSICS OF GRAVITY."ELEGANT PUNCH." BRIT SAID PUNCHING DAVON DOWN.

"AHH."DAVON SAID.BRIT THREW DAVON INTO THE AIR."I CAN'T COME DOWN.IT'S LIKE MY BODIES ASLEEP"DAVON SAID.DAVON WAS ABLE TO MOVE HIS FINGERS SLIGHTLY, IN ORDER TO USE ONE OF HIS MOVES ON BRIT. "WHIRLWIND!"DAVON SAID SHOOTING A HEAVY AMOUNT OF WIND OUT OF HIS FINGERS FORMING A LONG BLAST OF WIND OUT OF BOTH HIS HANDS.THE WIND'S PRESSURE WAS SO STRONG IT WAS ALMOST AS IF BRIT CAUGHT BUNCHED BY A DOZEN TONS.BRIT WAS HIT IN THE STOMACH AND SENT BRIT FLYING DOWN INTO THE GROUND.BRIT COUGHES A LITTLE BIT.DAVON LOOSENS UP AND IS ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN.DAVON BUCKLES A FIST ON HIS WAY DOWN ABOUT TO PUNCH DAVON BUT AS SOON AS HE WAS JUST ABOUT CLOSE TO PUNCHING HIM,BRIT'S HAND TURNED INTO A LASER SURROUNDED BY A YELLOW AURA.BRIT RUSHED UP AT DAVON AND SLICED HIM."WHAT THE..IT DOESN'T HURT.

"THAT WAS MY MOVE.I CALL IT GOLDEN FIELDS.IT MAKES MY OPPONENT FEEL PLEASURE AND CALMNESS INSTEAD OF FEELING PAIN AND DEFEAT."BRIT SAID

"BRIT IS THE WINNER OF THE THIRD MATCH!"THE ANNOUNCER HAD SAID.THE CROWD SCREAMED IN HAPPINESS AND SOME GIRLS WERE DISSAPOINTED OVER DAVON'S DEFEAT.The infirmary came and took Davon off of the stage and Brit had walked with them with a smile on his face.

"These dudes get stronger each time they fight."Nexo said "I hope Cloud will be alright"The kids looked nervous.

"What you think of that fight Cloud?"Hurlin asked.

"That was intense.You guys are crazy strong for a couple of princes."Cloud said

"We're not only rich yuh know. We're princes because he we were train hard enough than we will have enough power to maybe eventually rule the world.So if anyone starts to run the world one of us princes will be next in line."Hurlin said.Cloud looked at him shocked."Well than.. I guess it's time for you to head out to your match than, huh?"Cloud said pretending not to be weirded out. "It looks like it.I'll talk to you later than,Cloud Lightning."Hurlin said walking out of the spectator area."That dude is both cool and creepy."Cloud said. "OKAY EVERYONE! THIS ID THE FORTH AND LAST FIGHT OF THE FIRST BOUT.PLEASE MAKE SOME NOISE FOR HURLIN,THE BLOOD PRINCESS AND CINOS,PRINCE OF THE WILD WOLVES."THERE WERE MULTIPLE SCREAMS IN THE CROWD."WHOO HO IT'S LIKE WE GOT AATTLE OF THE RED HEADS OVER HERE.ON THE LEFT SIDE WE GOT HURLIN AND ON THE RIGHT WE HAVE CINOS.I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN WHAT YOU BOTH NEED TO DO BUT I'M GONNA DO IT ANYWAY! DON'T FALL OFF THE STAGE AND DON'T GET BEATEN DOWN OR ELESE YOU'LL BE ELIMINATED."The announcer said.The two nodded and got into there fighting poses.The announcer ealked off the stage and the fourth alarm beeped.The fourth round had finally started. "CRIMSON WOLF!"CINOS SCREAMED. CINOS DID A COMBO OF HAND SIGNALS AND SUMMON A GHOSTLY LOOKING CRIMSON COLOREED WOLF."ATTACK!" CINOS SAID PUTTING HIS ARM OUT TOWARDS HURLIN'S DIRECTION.HURLIN KEPT HIS NAD IN HIS POCKETS JUST JUMPING UP AND AVOIDING THE WOLF'S ATTACK.JUST THAN CINOS RUSHED HIM AS WELL.HURLIN STILL DIDN'T USE HIS HANDS BUT JUST KEPT DODGING BOTH CINOS AND THE WOLF'S ATTACKS. NONE OF CINOS'S ATTACKS LANDED SO HE BACKED UP TO HIS SIDE OF THE ARENA."WOLF PACK!"CINOS SAID,SUMMONING FIVE MORE WOLVES.THE WOLVES STOOKF TOGETHER AND DIDN'T MOVE.JUST THAN HURLIN FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE HIS HANDS OUT WHICH WERE NOW GLOWING RED.CINOS BIT HIS THUMB UNTIL BLOOD STARTED TO LEAK OUT AND WHILE THE BLOOD WAS LEAKING OUT, IT STARTED TO FORM INTO THE SHAPE OF SCYTHE.HURLIN GRABBED THE SCYTHE AND TWIRLED IT AROUND A LITTLE BIT.CINOS SAW THIS AS HIS ADVANTAGE."CHARGE!" HE SAID SENDING THE WOLVES HIS DIRECTION, BUT AS THE WOLVES HAD FINALLY GOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO HURLIN THEY WERE ALL SLICED IN HALF WITH JUST A BLINK OF AN EYE.CINOS SUCKED HIS TEETH BUT BY THE TIME HE STARTED TO RUN OVER TO HURLIN,CINOS HAD ALREADY CRASHED AND FELL ONTO THE FLOOR PASSED OUT.HIS CLOTHES WERE CUT UP AND HAD SCARS ALL OVER HIS BODY NOW. "I WIN."HURLIN SAID SMILING AND DISPERSING HIS SCYTHE.

"W-W-WELL THAN IT LOOKS LIKE CINOS HAS BEEN DEFEATED. THE WINNER OF THIS BATTLE IS HURLIN."The announcer said.The Crowd was quiet for a few seconds and than the silence was followed up by a slight round of applause and cheers.

"W-What the hell happened."Tony asked "That guy Hurlin barely moved and by the time Cinos attacked he was already down on the ground."

"I can explain."Edward said."When Hurlin sliced up the wolves, he moved so fast that he sliced Cinos a few times as well.He moved faster than the eye can see so it made it looked like nothing happened."

The kids looked shocked as did Cloud's reaction from the spectator view of the arena.Cinos was brought to the infirmary and Hurlin just kept standing on the stage with a grin on his face.King Gurrodo stood up from the seat on the personal king spectating area and leaned on the balcony."Can all four boys that are moving onto the next bout please stand on top of the arena stage."King Gurrodo said.Cloud,Moonlight, and Brit came out of the waiting and spectating areas and joined Hurlin on the stage.They all stood up in a line a few feet away next to each other. "I'm very impressed to see that you boys are still here and working hard.In all honesty I'm surprised that it's taking so long.You boys got heart and courage and i'm proud to be witnessing the power of a future king which could eventually be one of you.I hope you can stay strong so one of you boys could take my daughter as your future bride."

King Gorrudo said grabbing Violet's arm and moving her to the ledge.Violet looked down and looked at all the princes looking deep In here eyes, looking all flustered.Violet looked at Cloud and he winked at her,Violet smirked.

"I think I know why Cloud's fighting in this tournament."Ellie said.

"Yeaahhh..Cloud has a little C-R-U-S-H on the princess."Snow said giggling

"Wait what?How?"Arno said.

"Geez!You guys could be so clueless sometimes"Amber said "Look at the way they're looking at eachother. He totally likes her.".The boys looked at them in confusion. "Ah,youth!"Edward said smirking.

"To the audience! We will be taking a 30 minute break for everyone to go and stretch your legs, maybe even use the bathroom, and get something to eat.In 30 minutes we'll start of with the first fight of the second bout.The first fight will be:

Cloud vs Moonlight with the following fight of Brit vs Hurlin.

Thank you and enjoy the rest of the tournament later."King Gorrudo said waving off the people in the tournament.Some people stayed on the bleachers while most of the people went to go do there own thing.The princes and Cloud all went back into the waiting area to take a breather.Cloud,Hurlin,and Brit all sat down together on the floor."Man that Ian dude was a pain.Acting all high and mighty, psshhh."Cloud had said.

"Yeah.That Cinos dude was pretty crazy"Hurlin said. "Dude.That wasn't even a fight, that was more like manslaughter."Brit said jokingly.Hurlin put his hands around his head and smiled.Moonlight looked at Cloud and approached him.

"Cloud Lightning.I don't know why your bothering to make friends with anybody here, your nothing but a civilian who got lucky to get a weakling as an opponent.Us princes are the future to ruling this world, and to be challenged by you is just embarrassing and a disgrace to the name of us princes.I'll make sure to beat that sense into you until you witness the power of us princes.You will feel the wrath of The Prince of Night, Moonlight." Moonlight stated. Cloud's eyes were glued shut as he fell asleep only to wake up instantly by a animated popped snot bubble

"Dang man.Your so boring and cliché it put me to sleep."Cloud said as he stood up.Moonlight grunted his teeth and clenched his fist."Listen, I could care less who the hell runs the world or whatever.I'm here to keep a promise to someone special and I tend to keep that promise.So if you have anything else to complain about,than go ahead."Cloud had said in an annoyed tone.Moonlight said nothing more and turned arounf to go sit in his separate corner.

"That was pretty cool Cloud."Brit said. "Thanks"Cloud responded "and now we wait"he added closing his eyes, resting for his next match.

30 minutes had passed by and everybody were returning to their seats

"Man that burger was good.I didn't know how good rich people's version of food tasted like until now."Arno said.

"Tell me about it."Ellie said

"You guys think Cloud is gonna be okay"Snow said.Edward patted her head."He'll be fine.I'm sure of it."All the kids looked up at him and smiled."Yeah,your right."They all said.Just than The announcer came out ready to start his screaming.

"WELCOME BACK EVRYBODY!"The crowd cheered "I hope you all had fun on your little break, because we're gonna have a few close battles on this bout.For the first battle we have Cloud!"the announcer said.There was no more booing by any of the people, but if anything there were slightly more people applauding him when he walked into the stage."And now we have The prince of night,Moonlight!"The announcer screamed as the crowd cheered."Okay boys get into your side of the Arena."Cloud moved to the left as Moonlight moved to the right."Alright boys good luck to you."The announcer said.The buzzer rang and the first fight had started.

"DARK MIXER!" MOONLIGHT SAID SHOOTING THE SAME SPIKY FRISBY BEAMS THAT HE USED AGAINST SILIN.CLOUD PUT HIS ARMS UP DODGING THE ATTACKED BY PUTTING BOTH OF HIS ARMS UP IN FRONT OF HIS FACE ONLY TO BE CONFRONTED UP CLOSELY BY MOONLIGHT ABOUT TO SWING ON CLOUD BUT CLOUD COUNTERED THE ATTACK AT THE LAST MOMENT, DUCKING AND LANDING A SOLID PUNCH TO THE GUT SENDING MOONLIGHT FLYING AND SPITTING OUT A LITTLE AMOUNT OF BLOOD."GOOD THING I WATCHED THAT FIGHT EARLIER." MOONLIGHT GAINED HIS BALANCE BACK AND SHOT KI BLASTS AT CLOUD BUT CLOUD SHOT MANY MORE RIGHT BACK AT HIM.CLOUD SAW HIS OPPURIUNITY AND RUSHED MOONLIGHT WHILE DODGING ALL THE BLASTS THAT WAS BEING SHOT AT HIM.CLOUD JUMPED UP HEADBUTTING MOONLIGHT'S HEAD CAUSING HIM TO BLEED.CLOUD THAN CROUCHED DOWN PUNCHING MOONLIGHT UP AND ROUNDHOUE KICKING HIM.MOONLIGHT GETS SENT IN THE AIR SLIGHTLY AND CAME BACK DOWN SLOWLY, MEANWHILE CLOUD BACKED UP AND STAYED IN HIS FIGHTING POSITION.MOONLIGHT LANDED ON HIS FEET BREATHING HEAVILY.MOONLIGHT RUSHED CLOUD BUT INSTEAD OF PUNCHING AND KICKING HE STOPPED CLOSE TO CLOUD."NIGHT TERROR!" MOONLIGHT SAID BLOWING CLOUD AWAY.CLOUD ALMOST FELL OFF THE STAGE UNTIL HE USED A CURVING BLAST TO SAVE HIM FROM BEING OUT OF BLAST.BUT THAT'S JUST WHAT MOONLIGHT EXPECTED AS HE JUMPED UP,GRABBED AND SLAMMED CLOUD DOWN ONTO THE STAGE.MOONLIGHT BODY SLAMMED CLOUD DOWN BREAKING HIS RIBS.CLOUD GASPED WITH BLOOD SHOOTING OUT OF HIS MOUTH AS WELL.CLOUD ACTIVATED HIS WHITE FLAMES TRANSFORMATION AND HORSE KICKED MOONLIGHT.MOONLIGHT STUMBLED AS CLOUD TURNED AROUND AND PUNCHED MOONLIGHT IN THE FACE MAKING HIM STUMBLE."HOLY FLAME!"CLOUD SAID SHOOTING A WHITE FLAMED BLAST TOWARDS MOONLIGHT.THE ATTACK HIT MOONLIGHT WITH SUCH PRECISION IT SENT HIM FLYING OFF THE STAGE.MOONLIGHT RECOVERED LAST SECOND AND RUSHED CLOUD, LOW WHIPPING KICK CLOUD MAKING HIM FALL TOWARDS THE GROUND.MOONLIGHT THAN JUMPED INTO THE AIR MAKING A LONG AND DARK AURAED SPEAR FORM ON THE OUTSIDE OF HIS HAND.MOONLIGHT LANDED HEAVILY ON TOP OF CLOUD'S LEGS, BREAKING THEM ON IMPACT.

"GAAAAA"CLOUD SCREAMED, WITH BLOOD DRIPPING OUT OF HIS MOUTH.MOONLIGHT BREATHED HEAVILY AS HE STOOD ON TOP OF CLOUD.MOONLIGHT ROSE HIS ARM UP WITH THE BLACK AURA AND WAS ABOUT TO FINALLY GIVE CLOUD HIS LAST BREATH. "STOP! CLOUD WAKE UP! PLEASE!"THE KIDS SCREAMED.VIOLET CLENCHED HER FIST IN ANGER NOT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.

Meanwhile in the Infirmary"

Cloud was taking a rest in the infirmary bed with bandages wrapped around his body.Violet sat down next to him with her hand in his hand, and a senzu bean sitting on a desk next to him.Cloud opened his eyes.Violet started to tear up after seeing Cloud sit up on the bed.Cloud smiled at her."What's wrong?"

"I-i'm sorry. I could've done so much more to help but I didn't."Violet said,with her voice breaking.Cloud placed his hand on her hand."Hey.You did save my life.Moonlight was gonna kill me and you stopped him before he got the chance.If anything I owe you my life."Cloud said smiling at her.She smiled back at him."You always have something sweet to say.Oh wait!The doctor gave you this senzu bean or something to eat?Here you go"Violet said handing it over to him."Can you feed it to me? I can't really move that well after the fight."Cloud said.Violet blushed as she put the bean in Cloud's mouth.CLoud ate the senzu bean and regained some of his strength back. "Thanks."Cloud said "Well, I have to go watch the next fight between Brit and Hurlin. Please sit here and rest for a little bit please."Violet said.Cloud nodded his head.Violet smiled and walked out of the infirmary and into the King's spectator area."Be careful not to let your emotions get to close Violet."King Gurrodo said."just know father, when Cloud wins this tournament, I will no longer be your slave."Violet said,King Gurrodo looked at her for a few seconds than turned back at the stage to see the announcer introducing the next fight.

"On the left slide, we have Prince Hurlin."The crowd had a less happy scream due to the fear of what had happened last match."And on the right side we have Prince Brit."The audience screamed."Now than boys,You know the rules.Let me just add something though.If you accidentally or purposely kill your opponent, you will be eliminated and sent to the higher counsil and will go to court.Do you understand?"Both of the boys nodded."Alrighty than"the announcer said walking off the stage.Once the announcer finally walked off the buzzer rang and the second match of the secong bout had finally started.

HURLIN WASTED NO TIME AS HE BIT HIS THUMB OPEN, MAKING THE SCYTHE FORM OUT OF THE LEAKING BLOOD."GOLDEN DOME"BRIT SAID SURROUNDING HIMSELF WITH AN GOLDEN BALL, ALMOST AS IF HE WAS A HAMSTER RUNNING AROUND IN A BALL.BRIT RUSHED HURLIN IN A BALL, BOPPING HURLIN A LITTLE BIT ON THE HEAD.HURLIN USED HIS SCYTHE TO BREAK THE DOME OPEN,BUT ONCE HURLIN BROKE THE DOME, BRIT WAS CONSECUTIVE WITH HIS ATTACKS AS HE LANDED ONE OF HIS SPECIAL ATTACKS,"GOLDEN ARCHES SOFT TOUCH." HE BARELY WAS ABLE TO TOUCH HURLIN BUT BRIT WAS ABLE TO SOMEHOW LAND THE ATTACK AND SENT HURLIN SLIGHTLY MOVE UP IN THE AIR.HURLIN CUT HIS ARM OPEN WITH HIS SCYTHE AND THE BLOOD MADE HURLIN ABLE TO MAKE A STORM MADE OUT OF ACIDIC BLOOD "BLOOD SHOWER!"HURLIN SCREAMED, AS HE FORCED THE BLOOD TO FALL ON TOP OF BRIT.BRIT STARTED TO GET HIS BODY BURNT BY THE SIZZLING BLOOD DRIPPING FROM THE BLOOD STORM, THAN WAS RUSHED BY BRIT WITH HIS SCYTHE.BRIT COUNTERED THE ATTACK HOWEVER AND USED "ELEGANT PUNCH" TO KNOCK HURLIN OUT,BUT HURLIN COUNTERED BRIT'S COUNTER. "BLOODY COUNTER!" HURLIN SAID, MAKING BLOODY AFTERIMAGES OF HIMSELF THAN ATTACKING BRIT, SLICING HIS STOMACH A LITTLE BIT.BRIT GRABBED HURLIN'S ARM AND USED HIS ULTIMATE MOVE."GGOOLLDEENNN FIEELLDDSSS"BRIT SCREAMED LANDING A PERFECT ATTACK ON HURLIN.HURLIN FELT THE GOLDEN FIELDS AROUND HIM WHEN THE MOVE WAS LANDED.BRIT WAS CONVINCED THAT HURLIN WOULD HAVE BEED DEFEATED HOWEVER WHEN BRIT TURNED AROUND AND SAW THE GOLDEN FIELDS, HE HAD SAW THE BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN FLOWERS OF THE FIELDS,TURN INTO DEAD AND BLOODY FLOWERS.BRIT WAS TO SHOOK IN FEAR TO ATTACK ANY MORE,AS HE SAW BRIT'S ULTIMATE MOVE COMING TOWARDS HIM.

"GRIM REAPER'S BLOODBATH!"HURLIN SAID AS HE SUMMONED A GINORMOUS BLOOD MADE GRIM REAPER FORM IN BRIT'S BEATIFUL GOLDEN FIELDS.THE GRIM PREAPER SLICED THE GOLDEN FIELDS ALONG WITH BRIT WITH IT, AND JUST LIKE THAT BRIT WAS DEFEATED.

THE ANNOUNCER RUSHED DOWN TO THE STAGE AND DID INDEED SEE BRIT ALIVE AND BREATHING, HOWEVER HE WAS JUST SEVERELY INJURED."I'M SORRY BRIT."HURLIN SAID.THE ANNOUNCER ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS."THE WINNER OF THE SECOND FIGHT OF THE SECOND BOUT IS THE PRINCE OF BLOOD, HURLIN!" THE CROWD SLIGHTLY CHEERED,BUT THEY SEEMED TO BE MORE FRIGHTENED THAN EXCITED.

King Gurrodo finally walked out of his personal spectator area and onto the stage,as well as Cloud who was brought out of the infirmary.Cloud walked onto the stage covered with bandages all over his body.Hurlin kneeled down to King Gurrodo's precense, as well as Cloud who hesitantly kneeled only so there wouldn't be a panic in the crowd for if he didn't. "I'm very proud of you boys.You both were able to overcome many of the obstacles in not only your strength,but you opponent's strength as well.I hope you boys can overcome your challenges in your next fight and I wish you the best of luck."King Gurrodo said with a fake smile on his face.Cloud and Hurlin nodded they're head and walked to the waiting room as did King Gurrodo who went back to his personal spectator area and sat down.The announcer came back onto the stage.

"Hello everyone!"The announcer said."That was the last fight of the second bout and now we are reaching the finale of the tournament.For the last fight, Cloud and Hurlin will be fighting for the winning spot of this tournament.We will all be taking a twenty minute break so the boys can heal after they're fights so if anyone wants to go and stretch they're legs now is the opportunity to do so."The announcer said with a worried look on his face.The crowd cheered as they all got up to do any deed they needed to do.

In the waiting room...

Cloud was on the corner of the floor laying down."Man,that senzu bean does do the job.I still fell hurt from the last match but I still have enough energy to go through with this tournament."Cloud said smiling and flexing his hand.Hurlin walked over to Cloud smiling.Cloud smiled back at him as Hurlin sat down next to him."Well.We came a long way from the beginning of this tournament,and now it's just us two in here,"

"Yeah.I hope the other guys are doing okay in the infirmary are healing up okay though."Cloud said.

"Yeah I guess.Well listen,whatever happens at this fight I want you to know that i'll always have a lot of respect in you."Hurlin said looking up.Cloud nodded his head yes, and smiled at him as they waited for they're named to be called.

"Edward,I've been thinking about that king.He doesn't really seem to act like a king, nor does he get that much attention by the crowd."Tony said

"Yes,I've noticed that.He might be one of those corrupt and wealthy king's that just use kids for power.I'm going to keep my eye on him so don't worry about it to much"Edward said trying to keep a calm look on his face.

Twenty minutes have now passed by and the crowd was returning to they're seats.The announcer came onto the stage."Hello everybody!We are finally back into this tournament and into the last fight of the day! Please welcome, Cloud and Prince Hurlin!"The announcer screamed,getting followed up by the crowd's screams as well.Cloud and Hurlin walked with eachother side by side until they finally reached the center of the arena.The two boys fist bumped eachother with a smile on they're face, than walked to they're side of the stage."Alright boys! You've both made it this far so I'm just gonna go and let ypu boys do what you gotta do, and please let this be a fair fight otherwise i'm just gonna have to jump in there and kock both you boys out."The announcer said making everybody laugh in the audience including himself.He walked off the stage while Cloud and Hurlin got into they're fighting positions.Just than the buzzer rang, and just like that the final fight has now begun.

THE BOYS WASTED NO TIME AS SOON AS THAT BUZZER RANG.HURLIN BIT HIS THUMB AND FORMING HIS BLOOD SCYTHE, AS WELL AS CLOUD WHO ACTIVATED HIS WHITE FLAMES.THE BOYS RUSHED EACHOTHER FASTER THAN THE EYE CAN SEE AND STARTED PUNCHING AND DODGING THROUGH EACHOTHER'S ATTACKS.CLOUD DODGED AND BACKFLIPPED BACK ONTO HIS PART OF THE ARENA EVADING ALL THE BLOOD SHOTS GETTING SHOT OUT BY HURLIN'S SCYTHE.CLOUD SHOT WHITE FLAMED KI BLASTS WHICH HIT HURLIN ALL OVER HIS BOSY AND FACE, MAKING HIM FALL BACK A LITTLE BIT.

HURLIN SCREAMED,SUMMONING A GIANT BLOODY GRIM REAPER .THE GRIM REAPER STRUCK DOWN CLOUD WITH HIS HUGE BLOODY SCYTHE AND PUNCHING CLOUD DOWN INTO THE ARENA'S FLOOR WITH IT'S LARGE BLOODY FIST.THE ARENA'S FLOOR BROKE INTO MANY PIECES,ALMOST GETTING DESTROYED BUT HAVING A STILL FEW PIECES STAY IN TACT.CLOUD'S BOSY WAS DAMAGED AND SLICED UP INTO MANY SCRATCHES ALL OVER THE FRONT OF HIS BODY AND A HUGE DEEP SCAR ON HIS BACK WHICH WAS BLEEDING CRAZY.CLOUD FELL ONTO ONE OF THE ONLY PIECES LEFT ON THE STAGE AND WAS COMPLETELY PARALYZED,ALSO BARELY BEING ABLE TO KEEEP HIS EYES OPEN.CLOUD FELT HIS LIFE FADING FROM HIS EYES AS HE SAW HURLIN ABOUT TO FINISH HIM OFF WITH HIS GIANT REAPER. KING GURRODO SMILED TO SEE THAT CLOUD WAS FINALLY ABOUT TO LOSE.

JUST AS HURLIN LAID HIS FUST ON CLOUD, CLOUD'S WHITE FLAMES TURNED INTO BLACK FLAMES WHICH PREVENTED THE GIANT REAPER'S FIST OR SYTHE TO LAND ON ANY PART OF CLOUD'S BODY BURNING IT IF IT EVER GOTTEN CLOSE TO HURTING CLOUD.

"OH NO. CLOUD GET UP!"THE KIDS SAID STANDING UP FROM THEY'RE SEATS AND EVEN LEANING ONTO THE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE BLEACHERS.

CLOUD'S MIND STARTED TO GO TO BLACK AS HE STARTED TO RETHINK HIS LIFE.HE SAW MULTIPLE IMAGES OF PEOPLE AND PLACES THAT HE RAN INTO.HE THOUGHT ABOUT HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HE LOVED WITH ALL HIS HEART."Why am I even fighting in this tournament again?"Cloud though lingering in a black void in his mind.Just than he saw an image of Violet pop up in his mind."Oh yeah, I was fighting for her."Cloud said.Just than he heard all of the kids screaming for Cloud to get up and not give up. "Guys…"Just than Cloud heard the crowd yelling his name as well."CLOUD! CLOUD! CLOUD!" They all screamed."CLOUD! CLOUD! CLOUD!".Cloud suddenly felt a sudden intense sensation throughout his body, making him feel completely energized.He than saw a bright golden light form in front of him,which was where he was feeling that energy around his body feel lightened up."HHHAAAAAAAA" Cloud screamed as he made the black void in his mind fill up with a bright golden light,but not only did he start to glow in his mind but he also was able to stand up in the arena and he started to glow gold!

"A SUPER SAIYAN."EDWARD SAID, WITH AN EXCITED YET STARTLED EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE.HURLIN'S GRIM REAPER SWINGED IT'S SCYTHE AT CLOUD JUST FOR CLOUD TO GRAB THE SCYTHE WITH ONE HAND.HURLIN HAD A FEARFUL EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE AS HE SAW HOW MUCH STRONGER CLOUD HAD GOTTEN FROM HIS LITTLE TRANSORMATION.CLOUD FLEW UP AND PUNCHED THE GRIM REAPER WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE AND DISSAPEAR FOR CLOUD HAD DEFEATED THE GIANT REAPER IN ONE PUNCH!

"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT FOLKS!! DUE TO BOTH AN KNOCK-OUT AND OUT OF BOUNDS, HURLIN HAS BEEN DEFEATED! THEREFORE, THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT IS CLOUD LIGHTNING!""THE ANNOUNCER SCREAMED INTO THE MICROPHONE AS WELL AS THE AUDIENCE SCREAMING IN EXCITEMENT AND HAPPINESS.VIOLET SMILED WITH HER MOUTH OPEN AS SHE JUMPED OFF THE SPECTATING AREA RUNNING TO CLOUD AND HUGGING HIM.CLOUD USED THE REMAINING ENERGY HE HAD LEFT AND SPUN VIOLET AROUND WHILE HUGGING HER WITH A SMILE!

"I told you i'll win, didn't I?"Cloud said laughing.Violet laughed .Just than the kids rushed off the bleachers and stampeded over Cloud.

"Clou!Your okay!"Snow said crying onto Cloud's shoulder.

"You damn idiot! Next time you sign up for a damn tournament let me join too!"Tony said smacking Cloud in the head.Cloud giggled.Amber turned to look at Violet who had heard hands folded together.Amber grabbed her hands.

"Hi! I'm Amber, and you must be Princess Violet."Amber said smiling at her and grabbing her hands.Violet smirked a little bit as she saw all the kids messing with a worn down Cloud. "We're Cloud's family.It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Violet looked at all the kid's who than walked up to her and started talking to her now as well.

"Woahhhh your a princess to right? I'm a princess to but I didn't think i'll ever see such royalty"Ellie said.

"Your so pretty! What's your secret? Please, we got to know!"Dawn and Snow said

"Ease up on her guys she looks startled.Arno said."

"Hi my name's Viper.What do you like to do in your free time?"

"How does it feel to live in a huge mansion?"Nexo asked

As the kids were talking and getting to know Violet, King Gurrodo was so outraged to see Cloud win the tournament that he was about to shoot him while his back was turned, so King Gurrodo reached his hand out about to shoot Cloud until Edward teleported behind him."I don't think that's such as good idea you know."

"W-who the hell are you?"

"I'm that boys guardian and I don't appreciate you trying to shoot him while he just finished fighting so let's not do anything dumb now okay?"

"Yeah?What will you do than, huh?"

Just than Edward broke both the king's staff as well as his arm, without even moving one part of his body.

"AAAHHHH" King Gurrodo screamed,nobody was paying attention to hear what was going on

"I know what kind of a person you are you don't intimidate me.Now what you are going to do is walk out of here and act like nothing has happened.And than your going to congratulate my son down there do you understand?"Edward said.King Gurrodo nodded as he walked down his personal spectating view.King Gurrodo reached the downstairs and the crowd as well as Cloud focused they're attention all on him.

"Cloud Lightning.I congratulate you for winning the Tournament of Princes.You showed us people all over the world, from rich to poor what true strength looks like.Since you won the tournament that shows how capable you are of maybe ruling the world one day, but for now however my gift to you is the promise that I intend to keep to you.My daughter will live her life doing what she wants to do without me having full control of her.Since your not technically a prince however I shall dub you the nickname of Prince Charming!"King Gurrodo said, making the crowd laugh as well as all the other kids."What do you intend to do now."

"Well, I've been fighting all day so I intend to just heal most of my injuries and than head to the festival going on later in my village.If you all want to come your more than welcome to."Cloud said.The crowd cheered and Cloud was finally able to go home.Some people stayed to eat or walk around while others went home to continue they're daily routines.Cloud, along with Violet ,and the other kids went back to Edward's house in a huge carriage where all the kids were playful and giggly since it was there first time sitting in a carriage.As soon as Cloud got home he ate another senzu bean and fell back asleep in the boys's room.

A few hours passed by and it was night time

Cloud had finally recovered a little bit to see that Dawn was wearing a purple kimono.

"What are you wearing?"Cloud asked.

"It's called a kimono.People wear one when there's a festival in town so I made one for everyone. A green one for Viper, Pink for Tony, Red for Amber, Blue for Snow, Yellow for Nexo, White for Arno, Orange for Ellie, and last but not least a black one for you.I even made a violet one for Violet."Dawn said handing over a black kimono to Cloud.Cloud went back into the room and put on a black kimono.He came out and saw Dawn laughing at him.

"It looks nice on you."

"Thanks.Wait, but where is everyone else?"Cloud asked.

"They all went out to the festival already,we're just waiting on you."

"Well than what are we waiting for?Let's go!"Cloud said dashing out of the door and running into the town.Edward waved goodbye at the kids as he saw them rush out in a hurry.When walked into town he saw many familiar faces in town like the people who came down from the cities,towns,and villages to watch him fight, had appeared at Cloud's village with different color kimono's.He also saw Brit and Hurlin along with the other princes except for Moonlight who have decided to show up to the festival as well.

"Yoooo! Cloud.That was a good fight we had.Let's do it again sometime!"Hurlin said smiling and waving to Cloud.

"You bet"He responded Cloud looked around to see Arno and Ellie competing in a game of throw the dice in one of the game booths,Meanwhile Viper,Snow,Nexo,Amber and Dawn were trying new foods from all the different booths, along with Tony who was competing with strangers in a few eating competitions.Cloud even saw Polaris in his light blue kimono as well.

"Yo Polaris how you been man?"Cloud said

"Nothing much.I heard you won a crazy tournament man,Congratulations!"

"Thanks,man! Whenever your free I would love to have another spar!"

"Whenever bro! It's all up to you."

"Alright!"Cloud and Polaris said fist bumping eachother.

Cloud kept walking and he saw Violet with her hair in a beautiful bun,looking at multiple products in town.CLoud walked towards her."Hey Violet!" Cloud said.Violet blushed a little bit and turned around.

"Cloud! Are you feeling better?"

"Yup! I feel like I could run across the Earth in 2 seconds right now!".Violet laughed with her fingers touching her bottom lip.

"You look much happier."

"Yeah well,it;s only been a few hours but people are finally starting to treat me like a normal human being instead of some locked up princess.I can't wait to see what I can do later in the future!"Violet said with an excited look on her face

"I'm happy for you.I hope you can accomplish great things later in the future."Cloud said patting her head.Violet blushed.

"Well i'm gonna go and explore more of the village and the festival, so I guess i'll talk to you another time Cloud."Violet said smiling while waving her hand back at Cloud.

"Yeah! I'll definitely being see you some time Violet."Cloud said smiling and waving back.

"Man, what a time to be alive."Cloud said as he kept walking down the village.

Meanwhile back in the infirmary

All the princes were all fully healed besides Moonlight.Just than Caby came into the Infirmary and abducted Moonlight while he was asleep and teleported both Moonlight and himself, to Darkness's hideout.

"My lord,Darkness"Caby said."I have brought back that bot you told me to bring"

"Excellent work."Darkness said.Just than Moonlight woke up and had a fearful expression on his face.

"W-who the hell are you."Moonlight asked

"I...am Darkness..but you will refer to me as your lord."

"Do you know who I am? I'm Moonlight, the prince of Ni--"

"I know who you are, and yet I don't care."

"Wha? Than why bring me here?"

"I saw your fight at that tournament you fought at, and I can really use another apprentice."

"AND WHY WOULD I WORK FOR YOU?!"Moonlight said rushing Darkness about to lay a punch on him, however Darkness's power was so great Moonlight couldn't even get between two feet of him.Darkness grabbed Moonlight by the neck and threw him in the air so he can force choke him.Darkness held him into the air and with another hand, took Moonlight's pure energy out of his body and replaced it with dark energy,turning into an black and white Acrosian.Moonlight fell onto the ground and looked at himself.

"What have you done..WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"He screamed

"I have turned you into an Acrosian.Now you look like a simple aqquaintance of mine named Frieza. Now I am going to say this one time and one time only.KNEEL!"Darkness said showing off his murderous aura.In fear Moonlight bent down on one knee and kneeled at Darkness.Darkness evily laughed at Moonlight's face which was full of despair. "TION!" Darkness screamed as he summoned Tion who had teleported right next to him.

"Yes, my lord"Tion said kneeling sown at Darkness.

"You will, show this new recruit the whereabouts of this hideout this instant."

"Yes, my lord"Tion said picking Moonlight slightly up and dragging him into the next rooms outside of the throne room.The door closed shut behind him.

"With all due respect Lord Darkness, why didn't we take that Saiyan boy? He was the victoe of the tournament."

"My young... apprentice. You have so much more to learn. That boy..Cloud Lightning will show me the location to where Edward Spear will be at, for which when I do find him...his head will be in my hands."Darkness said.

"HAHAAHAHAHAHHAAH"
