"Alyssa?" asked Chance. "Mmm!!" came a muffled sound from Alyssa under her jacket, which sounded like, 'go away'. "I came to talk to you, and apologize. I went too far with the whole thing. I just wanted you to see the situation....differently. And, trust me, your dream will not come true. I already promised that it wouldn't. Is that conversation we had in the hospital going to go to waste?" he asked. "People who lost in the third and first round, please report to the second ring." said Shiyo. "Well, I'll hope you'll accept my apologies, but maybe I'll get to face you again. You have to lose twice to be out of this tournament...." said Chance, laughing. "And, if I do, I won't be mean. We'll duke it out, fair and square, no mind games!!" said Chance. Alyssa smiled weakly. "Thank you, Chance." she said. "Hurry, go cheer John on, he's fixing to fight.....tell me how it all works out!!" said Chance, running off. "It's worked out fine....." she thought, running off to find John.

"All of you lost in the first three rounds. Now the tournament has split. The winner from this side will face the winner on the other side. If you lose in rhis round, you are out of the tournament, so pack your bags....." said Shiyo. Chance gulped. "Gabe, Kabaji, and Gaara, and Inugami are on this side......lets see, there's 32 people here.......hmph. Looks like this won't be too hard, unless one of those strong guys lost in the first rounds, too....." thought Chance. "Good luck, Gabe!" said Chance. Gabe nodded, "you too!" she said. "Alright, my subordinate, Kishimoto will take over the consolation matches...." said Shiyo, wlaking back to the main tournament. "Alright, let's see here.....the people with the highest number of wins until the moment they lost will go first.....alright, Chance vs. Akuma!!" said Kishimoto. "Right off the bat, eh? I couldn't have planned it better....." said Chance, jumping into the ring. His opponent jumped into the ring. He roared, sending a shockwave through the ring. "How did this guy lose?!" screamed Chance, almost being thrown away by the shockwave. "Don't choke, Chance!!" shouted Gabe. "Shut up, Gabe!!" said Chance, playfully, standing back up. "Chance vs. Akuma...BEGIN!!!" shouted Kishimoto. Akuma charged Chance like a raging boar, sending a flurry of punches and kicks at Chance. "His fighting style is erratic....I can't tell what he's going to do next....WOAH!!" thought Chance, as a kick came straight for his face. He brought up his forearm, a shockwave emminating from the blow. "Devil's Roar!!!!" shouted Akuma. "What?! Oh geez...." thought Chance. Akuma roared, as his speed and strength grew, punching and kicking Chance with twice as much speed. Chance tooka few blows, but they didn't hurt him that bad. "Alright, I'm gonna stop this raging freght train now...." said Chance. Akuma came at Chance with a fist. "HAH!!!" shouted Chance, releasing a shockwave of energy. Akuma flew back, out of the ring. "Chance is the victor!!!" said Kishimoto. "Sorry, maybe you should tighten the area where you attack....just a suggestion...." said Chance. "Chance is....being helpful?! Woah, I've gotta tell Alyssa!!" thought Gabe. "I'll tighten you!!!" shouted Akuma, jumping back in the ring. Several officials started to jump towards him, but Chance stopped them. "I got this. Ka......Me....Ha...Me...." said Chance. Everyone immediately stepped back about ten feet. "Oh boy, poor Akuma....." said Gabe, not looking. Akuma was just inches away from Chance when he shouted "HA!!!!!!!!!!" the blast sent Akuma flying 1,000's of feet away from the tournament. "Oh, you forgot your bags.......Kamehameha!!!!" shouted Chance, blasting Akuma's bags with a smaller blast in the direction Akuma went. "Okay, Drama King, step down now...." said Kishimoto. "Next match is...." Chance tuned Kishimoto's voice out.
