Tournament Montage :172:

Biting your tongue, you watched Jay stare down Nya from across the ring.

He was alive.

The blueberry bastard was alive.

And he was looking at Nya like she was the scum of the earth.

Nya's first match was against Gravis, who was thankfully still kicking, but now this fight.. was against Jay. Who was alive.

He stared at her, eyes hollow and empty. One hand cracked with blue and yellow lightning, the other glowing a dark orange. The orange was from the Elemental Master of Magma, some poor kid named Neous who got electrocuted.

Why was he on Ras' team?

"I knew I saw you!" Nya exclaimed with a big smile as she ran over to him. Ras was behind Jay, also glaring.

He scoffed. "What are you talking about? I've never seen you before in my life."

What?
...Well, it lined up with the scum-of-the-earth staring, but...
What?

"Now that you've met our competitors, it's time for the.. Tower Battle! The first to reach the top of the tower and grab the dagger at the top will be, hey-o, winner!"

Still frozen in shock, Nya was basically pushed to the center by droids, breathing rapidly. "I can't- I can't fight him!" She called back.

Lloyd stepped forward, muscles tense. "I don't think you have a choice, Nya."

She swallowed, turning back to Jay. "Don't you recognize me? It's me, Nya!"

"Is that supposed to mean something to me, lady?" He shouted, punching at her. He wasn't fighting like a ninja at all, he was fighting like Ras.

They started bickering, Nya getting more distressed by the minute. She glanced back to the looking tower dressed in parkour, before ducking under a punch. She looked scared.

You couldn't blame her in the slightest.

Eventually, Jay's voice got louder. "My Master Ras said that you'd lie to me! That you'd try to use mind games on me. You won't shake my confidence! I don't believe a word you say!"

Oh, so Ras had expected this. He had planned this. Why was he always one step ahead? How was he always one step ahead?

"Ras is the only lying to you!" Nya insisted, "you're a Ninja who disappeared after the Merge! Jay, you're the love of my life.."

You strained to hear their conversation, brow furring.

"-I was a warrior fighting alongside my Master in the Wyldness! After the Merge, I ended up in a place called the Administration."

Arin gasped slightly. "Wait. Jay Walker. Jay is Agent Walker?" He muttered.
Who was Agent Walker? The Administration?

Jay pulled a mask from his hip, holding it up. "I will do whatever it takes to win." A Wolf Mask.

He was- ShatterSpin. He was going to shatter the goodness he had, if he had any left.

Fuck.

"Nya! Focus on the dagger!" You shouted, pointing to the top of the tower. "We'll worry about Jay later!"

She nodded, wincing as Ras hit the gong.

A swirl of ShatterSpin surrounded Jay. He leapt up the tower, tackling Nya back to the floor. They started tussling and trading blows.
His eyes were red now.

WyldFyre pushed past you, leaning on the railing. "Use Dragons Rising!" She shouted, grinning.

Honestly, she had no other choice, and used it. Soaring up as a light-blue dragon enveloped her form, she dove right back down, the shockwave sending Jay flying across the arena.
