    Episode 5: The Tournament

    Barton Town was bustling with busy people, and Prince Kazuhiko and 101KiriUchiha noticed as they came through the front gate. “Well,” 101KiriUchiha says as she stretches out. “I’m going to meet up with some friends of mine, so come get me when you want to leave.”
    “Alright!” Prince Kazuhiko answered, energetic and excited. “I’ll be checking out what all the fuss is about!” Then they separated. 101KiriUchiha went over by the fountain to talk with some friends, and Prince Kazuhiko went and sat at a table. “I should probably wait a little while before I head over and check.”
    “Hey!” a player greets Prince Kazuhiko and sits down. “Wondering what’s goin’ on, huh?”
    “Yeah!” Prince Kazuhiko turns around to look at the person. “My name’s Prince Kazuhiko.”
    “Mine’s theparkman123.” The stranger answered. “So, since you were wondering, I think someone’s holding a tournament.”
    “A tournament?” Prince Kazuhiko asks curiously.
    “Come on!” theparkman123 looks confused. “You should know what a tournament is!”
    “I do! It’s just that I don’t know what the tournament is about...”
    “It’s a fighting tournament. All the newbie’s come and join in the tournaments here in Barton Town. I think the prize is a ring...”
    “What do they fight?”
    “Each other! Man, are you stupid...”
    “What?!? They have tournaments like that?”
    “Well, duh! By the way, you’re with that girl over there, right?”
    “Yeah...” Prince Kazuhiko looks over at 101KiriUchiha.
    “You two dating or somethin’?”
    “What the hell, dude! She’s 3 years older than me!” Prince Kazuhiko turns his head back and screeches at theparkman123. Everyone stops what they’re doing and look at him.
    “Really?” theparkman123 asks, and everyone goes back to their business. “Anyways, can I join you two? I’ve been looking for a group.”
    “First you piss me off, then you ask me a question like that?!” Prince Kazuhiko says quietly with a scary face. “Fine, but only if you can beat me!”
    “Deal!”

    Both of them came out to Village Greens, and 101KiriUchiha and her friends even came to watch. “You ready to die?” Prince Kazuhiko says still scarily.
    “Nope.” theparkman123 answers. “I’m pretty sure I don’t need a noob to kill me for myself.”
    “Now you’re gonna get it!” Prince Kazuhiko runs in high speed straight at theparkman123. “V-Blade!” Prince Kazuhiko slashes at theparkman123, but misses due to low concentration.
    “You have to be better than that to get me!” theparkman123 responds, jumping to the side. “Animation Domination!” Suddenly, a Lawn Gnome gets summoned in front of theparkman123.
    “What?!” Prince Kazuhiko says, too shocked to focus, and gets hit by the Lawn Gnome.
    “Why didn’t you dodge it?” 101KiriUchiha yells out to him.
    “Shut up!” Prince Kazuhiko yells back and hops to his feet. “Now to get real! V-Bow!” A bow forms in his hand, and he shoots several arrows at both the Lawn Gnome and theparkman123. The Lawn Gnome gets hit and dies, but theparkman123 dodges all of the arrows.
    “Come on! Do better than that!” theparkman123 taunts Prince Kazuhiko. “Animation Domination!” This time he summons a Pink Flamingo.
    “Darn it!” Prince Kazuhiko crouches and thinks. “Got it!” Prince Kazuhiko runs at theparkman123, but breaks off to the side about half way through. “V-Bow! Rage 1!” Prince Kazuhiko pulls back the arrow and aims at a rock. He jumps onto the rock at an angle and lets go off the arrow. There was a big explosion and Prince Kazuhiko was skyrocketed into the air.
    “What?” 101KiriUchiha says in surprise, and she and her friends look up in amazement.
    “Mantis!” Prince Kazuhiko shouts, and, while still in the air, he positions the katana towards theparkman123.
    “Cool...” theparkman123 says, looking up at him. Prince Kazuhiko starts falling down towards theparkman123. Right when Prince Kazuhiko was about to strike, the Pink Flamingo jumped in the way. theparkman123 jumps to the side with a grin on his face.
    “Dang... it...” Prince Kazuhiko barely can talk, let alone stand, so he drops down onto his knees. A hand reaches down to him.
    “Does this count as beating you, or should we keep fighting?” theparkman123 asks.
    “You... win...” Prince Kazuhiko grabs his and theparkman123 helps him up. He walks over to 101KiriUchiha, with the help of theparkman123, of course. “Meet the new member of the group...”
    “Nice to meet you!” 101KiriUchiha greets, reaching her hand out. “My name’s 101KiriUchiha, but you can just call me Kiri.”
    “My name’s theparkman123... and I guess you can call me Parker.” theparkman123 responds, letting go of Prince Kazuhiko and shakes her hand.
    “Uh... guys?” Prince Kazuhiko says, but falls to the ground. They all start laughing and head to back to Barton Town. (with theparkman123 helping Prince Kazuhiko)

    “Hey,” theparkman123 says out. “We should check out the tournament.”
    “Sure!” Prince Kazuhiko answers, happily back on his own feet. When they got to the registration desk, Prince Kazuhiko recognized someone. “YOU!!!” Prince Kazuhiko blurts out, slamming his hands on the desk.
    “Yes...?” the old man asks.
    “You’re the... that... and...” Prince Kazuhiko said things in parts, being completely incomprehensible (it’s a big word, I know).
    “You know him?” 101KiriUchiha asks.
    “Know him?!? He’s been all mysterious to me the entire time I’ve been playing!!!” Prince Kazuhiko answers.
    “I don’t recall!” the old man replies. “Anyhow, why don’t you guys sign up for the tournament?”
    “No way!” Prince Kazuhiko angrily rejects. “It’s probably some trap, or... or...”
    “We accept!” 101KiriUchiha and theparkman123 say in unison.
    “Great!” the old man says in joy. “Now all you have to do is pay the entrance fee of 1000g!”
    “Alright!” 101KiriUchiha answers. “I guess that’s your job, team leader!” She pats Prince Kazuhiko on the back.
    “Huh? Me?!” Prince Kazuhiko says, looking around confusedly. “Fine... why me?” Prince Kazuhiko says quietly and hands over the gold.
    “Per member.” The old man says.
    “Why us?” 101KiriUchiha and theparkman123 say in unison again, handing over the gold.
    “Serves you right!” Prince Kazuhiko mocks.
    “Alrighty, then!” the old man says jollily. “We will be meeting tonight in zOMG for the preliminary rounds!”
    “Okay, everyone! Let’s go train!” Prince Kazuhiko says, everyone being excited and raring to go.
