Entering and landing on the sandy stage of Western Omega Aeris along with Yuma and Adel land. They decided to go with this in order to keep Genre as their wild card.

"Let's keep our guards up we do not know what our opponent's class nor abilities are," Adel stated. The brown-haired girl had a Dangae dou (Dō) Gusoku armor similar to the one in the Uesugi shrine. Despite being German she has a great fascination with samurai armors. Her weapon a silver with a red line in the middle katana.

"Right." The pink-haired girl was dress in a white dress with pink veils surrounding her body. Her hairstyle unlike in the real world who was let loose was tied in a ponytail so it wouldn't get in her face.

"I'll scout the area, I'll inform you if I see our enemies nearby." The black-haired Japanese teen told her teammates. Yuma was clad in a black ninja jumpsuit that allowed her to move more freely. Her weapons were two small kunai shaped blades along with ninja shurikens. Her face of course was hidden.

"Wait, Yuma!" Aeris starts chanting a spell on her. "There I up your speed in case you need to escape quicker."

"Thanks, Aeris. Well, I'm off." Yuma said with her boost and disappeared.

"It makes you wonder how our group can now cooperate with each other, Doesn't it?" Adel addressed. At first, the four girls weren't very social with each other. Perhaps, it was because each girl had a different goal in mind. Genre wants to become a DJ and a music producer, while Adel herself wants to be a Historian. Yuma's case...well she didn't have anything in mind and she seemed a bit distant. Both the brown-haired girl and the black-haired Japanese teen didn't co-exist in the very least as Yuma found the dream of Adel very dull and boring. Genre only cared about listening to her music...well she still does but not more than before. Then there's Aeris she was in a sense the glue that stuck the pieces together. She will give the pink-haired girl credit she was very persistent in creating this group. At first, Adel and Yuma questioned why they would coexist with each other while Genre had no interest in joining a group at all. It was one incident involving a black hat hacker that got them to work together. With Genre's ability to find the Rhythm of people, Aeris Rubix Of Knowledge to see the whereabouts of said Hacker and Adel and Yuma finally working together they manage to bust this black hat hacker and decided to form a group. This group ended up being a team that was famous in four countries: Japan, Germany, The U.S.A., and Russia. The Team name was Team Alpha.

"Yeah. But...I'm glad that it worked out. Who knew that a conflict between a black hat hacker and the school we were in got us together."

"Guys, You have incoming enemies." Was the response of the Ninja teen who has discovered their opponent's getting closer to them.

"Got it." Adel prepares expecting who it is. Soon enough she sees someone coming their way. One of them seems to be a scouter considering that it was coming at an incredible speed. She will have difficulties with him but she can manage, it is not the first time that she has faced a scouter and she is pretty sure it will not be the last.

"So we finally found you girls." A boy with red hair said. He had a Cutlass as his weapon and he was dressed in a brown open jacket and navy blue pants. His partner was a boy with black hair with a Sickle as his weapon. He was dressed in a purple long sleeve shirt and short red pants.

"Hey stop flirting with them, we need to defeat the core in order to advance remember."

"I heard you. Sorry but my partner is right so let's get this over with." Thinking that it will be easy to take down the armored brown-haired girl the one with the cutlass went after her to his surprise Adel blocked his swift attack. "What?"

"If you think that your battle against me will be easy just because I am a powerhouse...then you're sadly mistaken." The brown-haired teen backed the boy off.

"I see...not only are you beautiful on that armor but you're talented too. Well, then I guess I shouldn't be fooling around anymore." The boy ups his speed. "What's a matter can't keep up with me?" This boy...he talks too much, something that Adel hates the most out of people. This guy reminds her of someone back when they were in middle school...Glad that they are here now and not back in Russia otherwise, she might just need Aeris to prevent her from banging the head of that annoying girl to the wall.

()

On the other side, Aeris and the boy with the sickle hadn't moved an inch.

"Sorry about my friend he's how should I say...A Casanova?"

"Oh! Um, don't worry about it...But.." She shook her head. She shouldn't be interacting with the opponent she has to win this match who knows if this is the core or not! "Sorry, but we must win this match I made a promise to a friend!"

"Fair enough, I am Sylvany. So remember the name that defeated you here!" He attacks and Aeris dodged the attack easily. Using her veils as a shield she blocked the onslaught that followed by the black-haired teen. She could've used her weapon but she doesn't know what kind of attacks he has and what class is the boy. Right now she has her default class so using her weapon against anyone except sniper, magical and others of the same class can beat her in close combat. For now, she will have to block and keep her distance from her opponent.

()

On another side of Western Omega, Yuma was having a battle with what seems to be Team Singularity's sniper. His weapons were two pitch-black Glocks. His appearance was that of a Troll. Thou even if he was a troll he seemed even thinner than how the original trolls are portraited in the files of the game. She will have to save her Capacité D'alimentation just in case this sniper has some ability of its own. She threw shurikens his way but he shot them all out in a few rounds before hiding in some rocks that were scattered.

"You seem to be a very versatile Scouter. I have never seen someone have both a weapon for close combat and one for long-distance battles. Usually, the scouter will be more versatile on the former and snipers will specialize on the later." Her opponent informed her.

"What can I say, Being a ninja one must know the many ways of attacking your enemies." The black-haired Japanese teen responded.

"I guess I can agree." He got out of his cover and unleash a few shots at her. The teenage girl dodged every single one of them with her speed before shooting shurikens in retaliation. The boy duck so they can bounce off the rock that he was covered before getting once again out of the covers to shot her but Yuma was nowhere to be found.

('Where did she go?') Was the thought of the boy. He then reacted quickly and barely dodged the black-haired girl's kunai sword. He held his arm as it was bleeding temporally before the wound regenerated. He starts to block her next couple of attacks thou her speed was proving to be difficult for him to dodge each and every one of them. ('She is way too fast!') The boy hasn't fought someone with such high speed before. He has his share of scouter fights before but this girl...she must have trained solely on speed by playing in the story or free-roaming mode of the game.

Yuma, on the other hand, was just thinking about her pink-haired partner. She was their Supporter and because of that, her speed was like this. However, this was just limited and she was feeling that her boost could be fading anytime soon. She has to end this quickly before it does otherwise the match could end in either player's victory.

()

Meanwhile, Aeris and Adel were fighting their own separate ways. The brown-haired teen would be kind of concern of their leader but the pink-haired girl was no normal supporter/core. The pink-haired teen was, in fact, one of the most powerful supporters in Omega right now. Dodging the Scouter's attacks Adel swings her katana which her opponent dodges. The opponent tries to retaliate with a swing of his own, however, Adel blocked and parry the next attack before kicking him away.

"Damn, I thought this match would be a bit of a cakewalk but it seems that I will have to not hold back anymore." said the red-haired teen.

"Come." was the response of Adel. Hmm, by this time Yuma's boost from Aeris should be on its last wings. While it will be very important to have their leader up close in order for the two teens to get a boost, they already have plans if a situation like this will happen. It is a good thing that she has saved a lot of her Capacité D'alimentation otherwise, she will not be able to use any of the abilities that she will demonstrate right about now.

"Alright let me show you why we are ranked high in the world's leaderboard!" The red-haired boy starts creating a fog by using his speed. This fog becomes denser and starts forming into a tornado.

"Trapped." Adel knew what the boy was trying to do. He was using the fog to disorient her vision and use said fog to his advantage. She assumes this is the boy's special ability as a scouter. It is a very smart and great ability she has to admit and it would work on other adversaries even with someone like Yuma. Unfortunately for the red-haired boy, Adel's ability will 100% counter this ability. The brown-haired teen closes her eyes and concentrates. The world goes in a slow manner to her. While having her eyes closed she cannot see anything she has gained an ability to this kind of situation. In a previous match prior to coming here to Paris, Adel gained a new ability. This one is called Neutral Zone. This ability allows her to know the whereabouts of an enemy as if she was a scouter herself. In addition, she is able to create a swing that creates a static line. This line upon contact can give the opponent extra shock damage and if she gets a critical hit on her opponent(s) there is a 25% chance that she will stagger her opponent giving her enough time to finish them off.

"How do you like this? Can you see me? I bet you can't." Geez, does this guy ever shut up? His bragging and flirtatious manners are getting on her nerves. She stops herself, she needs to focus her Neutral Zone requires her to have a very clear mind. Now is only a matter of time before the red-haired boy attacks her. He will get the biggest surprise when he finds out that she right about now, knows his whereabouts. The red-haired boy decided that it was the right time to strike as he needs to defeat this girl so he can help his core leader against what he presumes is their core. Still...why does he feels like he has seen this face before? They look so familiar...Hmm...Well, whatever time to...To the surprise of the boy, Adel blocks his attack with little to no effort. "What?" The girl had her eyes closed and she blocked his attack? Inside of a very hard dense fog?! Impossible!

"I do not have time for this," Adel told the boy. "I am apologizing in advance for what I am about to do next." Adel with her strength parry the sword of the boy and with a swing created a big static line that hits the target. The red-haired boy felt a current run through his body before he landed about 8 steps away from each other. The hard dense fog started to dissipate.

"I...can't...Move!" The boy said failing to stand up. His body didn't respond to his physical and mental commands.

"It was a good fight. However, the moment you let your arrogance go...it was the moment your defeat was created." Adel starts walking before her sword was on the boy's neck. "...Goodbye..." The brown-haired girl then slashed the body of the boy. Blood splattered on her sword before the boy was replaced by the fireflies.

"Team Singularity's Scouter has been defeated." Adel flicks her sword to clean the blood from it. Although she defeated her opponent there was no time to waste. Her leader/friend Aeris was still in battle and anything could happen. She might have won this battle but if their leader falls then it will be meaningless. The difficult part about this is that they separated so without Yuma their scouter she will not know the exact whereabouts of Aeris. So the only thing left to do is hope that Yuma is still active in the game so they can go and help their leader.

()

"She's really good," Lahaska said mostly to herself. A very calm and strong powerhouse, she is indeed a big threat to her plans. Hmm...how should she approach this...She will have to make sure that she wins her match until the finals of her bracket. That's where she will face Team Omega and see how strong they're in person. They might have stopped her virus once but this time...

"Yeah...IS AWESOME!" The brown-haired boy said. Lahaska looked at the boy. For being the owner of a powerful piece he sure was very charismatic, unlike the previous owner. This legendary pieces...If she ever wants revenge she has to make sure that they don't fully awake...at least them hers...she already is planning to find a way to wake it up in order for her plan to take place. For now, she will have to wait patiently until the time is right.

Yuma as quick as a ninja can be has wounded her opponent. If his calculations are correct he wouldn't be able to take another hit. However, he seems to acknowledge one thing: The girl's movements were starting to slow down. He doesn't know how that makes sense as she was a scouter known to exceed the speed of any class. He will not complain thou as that has given him a little window of opportunity. Using this window he decided to use his ability. He shoots a couple of bullets at her. Yuma dodges these bullets before she realizes that said bullets came back.

('Heatseekers?') Questioned the black-haired teen when the bullets came back and then arc into two separated rotations. Yuma used her speed to dodge said bullets again but decided that standing there wouldn't help. It must be the boy's ability was the thoughts of the black-haired kunoichi. If that's the case then she will have to not hold back anymore.

"No matter what she does, she cannot escape it." Said the boy. He reloads his weapon before shooting more bullets at her. Yuma notices this and dodged the bullets who ricochet when they hit the others. However, even as they ricocheted the bullets didn't stop their quest of taking down the black-haired kunoichi. Yuma thinking fast used one of her many arts of Ninjutsu...Intonjutsu. Intonjutsu is the art of escaping and concealment, Using this technique in Omega is a little bit different as it allows the user (most likely a ninja) to shroud itself in a mist that will conceal said user and making sure that no weapon whereas it can heat seek can't find the opponent at all. This However comes with a large amount of price and by that, it means that the user will not be able to hold it depending on their capacity level. Luckily Yuma hasn't used any so this will be enough to keep her concealed until she defeats her foe.

"What?!" Surprise the teen couldn't see the girl and the bullets just went straight not knowing where their target went despite being heat seekers. Being cautious the boy tries looking around where that ninja went until it was too late. Yuma has beaten him to it and has already thrown three shurikens his way.

"Sorry, but it was a good fight." Those were the words of Yuma who sounded apologetic. She usually doesn't use this unless as a last resort to escape a situation like this. It is a bit cheap but this is one of the many ninjutsu skills that she can use in this world.

"Team Singularity's Sniper has been defeated." Now that she took care of her opponent...Hmm, she can feel Adel's presence in the east so, she can assume that the brown-haired girl has defeated her opponent and most likely is waiting for her in order to find Aeris and help her win the match. So, wasting no time the black-haired girl went there using her speed.

()

While this was happening their leader Aeris has had to escape Team Singularity's core. Sylvany has used his Core Shift to turn into a powerhouse. While she is not a wall by default she as a supporter can't do much offense against a powerhouse but stall.

"Can't hide from me forever Miss Russo." She wasn't intending to...She just needed time to think about what class she would be able to use to end this fight. Hmm...She will have to use that class...And her ability...She really doesn't want to. She wanted to keep this form as a surprise for when they reached the finals and fought Richard, Alice, and Frederick. But...

"Core Shift...Magical" Her veils disappeared.

"Come out wherever you are." Sylvany then sensed a movement from one of the taverns. "There!" He swung his sword in that direction. The force of his sword ended up slicing the tavern in two. After the tavern fell something came out of the dust that was created from the destruction. The boy then had to deflect a spear of light that was coming his way. Sylvany had to look up to see that the pink-haired girl was flying with white angel wings. Was this her race?!

"Odolzhite mne svoi sily, Angely Nebes!" Chanted the pink-haired girl as a sword of light appeared in her hand. Sylvany getting ready quickly changed his class to a wall. His weapon changed from a sword to an armored gauntlet. Both weapons clash and sparkles surrounded both teens. There was no doubt that she has shifted to a magical so his move of using his last core shift into a Wall has paid off. Unknown to him is that Aeris is not only magical but her ability is in place. Heaven's Gift is an ability that only The Angelo race can use. It allows them to once per fight buff all their stats to 1.4 as long as the user is in the Magical or Supporter Class. If the user is in other classes other than the two aforementioned the buff stats are only increased by 1.2. Aeris taking advantage of the buffs disappeared at a speed that was just as fast as a scouter. Usually, even with Heaven's Gift, this is not possible However, Aeris being a Supporter by default can buff her speed and then using Heaven's Gift, giving her a very big increase in speed to be precise her speed right now is double the normal speed that she will have without the buffs. Using her speed the Pink-haired girl dominated the fight. The only thing that Sylvany could do was block all her hits but even so, he felt that she was still doing damage to him. He hates to admit this but...The pink-haired teen has outsmarted him. With no core shifts left he has no choice but to admit defeat. However, He will not give up if there's a silver line of hope that he can defeat her he will use it. With one last stance, the boy got ready to unleash a final attack. If he gets lucky he might be able to win.

"TAKE THIS!" The boy unleashed a powerful punch that even as a wall he would knock out anyone. Unfortunately for him, luck was on the pink-haired side. Knowing this Aeris simply sidestepped and then chanted another spell. This one created a huge pink ball.

"Ochistka." Her Purification engulfed the boy until there was nothing left. Sylvany was satisfied as even in defeat he was defeated by none other than an Angelo.

"Team Singularity's core has been defeated, Team Singularity has been eliminated. Final Result: Team Alpha advances!"

"Whoa...That was..."

"Beautiful." The black-haired boy and Red-haired girl were impressed by Aeris. So Alice's childhood friend is an angel in Omega. And the way they fight...they are just way too powerful. Adel is a powerhouse that could match or even surpass her strength, then there's Yuma who defeated their sniper with ease. And finally, there's Genre...they really don't know what class the blonde girl has. A group of four girls and they're all very talented.

"It seems that the owner of the Rubix Of Knowledge will be a very challenging foe. Do you not agree, Regalia?" The white-haired girl asked her doll. That's right! Emuna will be facing them in the next round!

"Man, I can't wait to see your fight!" Of course, the brown-haired boy will say that. But he does have a point this battle between an angel and a puppet master will be a very intrigued match to watch. Now there's only one match left and that is...

"Team Shredders Core has been defeated, Team Shredders have been eliminated. Final Result: Team New Gen advances."

"Huh?"

"Whoa, that was really fast. I forgot that this match was on too." Frederick said surprised. The match lasted even less than Team Alpha's! Just what happened in the last minutes between Lahaska and Team Shredder's Core?!

*(

10 minutes after the match between Team Alpha and Team Singularity started. Team New Gen and Team Shredders were sent to the World of Omega.

Lahaska and her Team were in Ice Omega. To say the least, Lahaska wasn't worried in the least. The black-haired girl had a dark thin sword in her right hand while a black glove on her left. She was dressed in a black-hood jacket with blue jeans. She also had her "sun" ornament in her neck. Barry was an orc with a Plasma Rifle. His muscular green body was covered by a sleeveless white shirt and short black pants. Alan is practically dressed in black tops, jeans, and sneakers. He carries a Scythe as his weapon and is wearing a dark blue wrist band on his left shoulder.

"Let's finish this up, quick guys!"

"Right!"

"Let's show them why we're called Team Shredders." The leader of the group said. Their weapons were instruments in a band. The leader had a lead guitar shaped like an x-plodder colored red. One of the groups had a blue bass, Finally, the other has a black acoustic guitar.

()

Lahaska and The leader found each other quickly.

"Prepare to be shred to pieces." Lahaska smirk. This guy has no idea who he is facing. She might be a black hat hacker but she knows how to play this game and it is all thanks to her older sister who showed her the ropes...The more she thinks about her sister the more anger on the president of this game is built. But right now she must win this match.

"It is you who will be shred into pieces baldy." She taunted.

"I will make you regret those words you little brat!"

()

Meanwhile, Barry and Alan found the other two.

"Well, they're dressed like they're going to perform at a rock concert that's for sure." Alan pointed out.

"Hmm, it reminds me of those 90's rock bands I mean look at the one with the bass. That mullet is way too long." Barry said.

"Yeah and the one with the acoustic guitar seems like that guy who was a good alternative rock vocalist."

"Oh I know who you mean He was in a band right, I believe the name was N..." Before Barry could mention the name of that famous band they had to dodge sound waves coming from their opponent's instruments.

"Hey, how much time do you think they'll last if they keep this up," Alan asked.

"Only one way to find out, right?" Alan knew where this was going and he likes it. They'll never see it coming!

"Formation New Flash?"

"Yep, Formation New Flash." Barry and Alan get in position.

"What are they doing?" The bass one asked.

"Who cares. They just become easy targets." The Acoustic guitarist responded and they unleash a powerful sound wave. The next thing that happens was unbelievable not only did Alan and Barry alone blocked the wave but they redirected the wave. However, the wave was twice as fast and twice as big as it normally was.

"What?!"

"Impossible!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Both of team Shredders bassist and acoustic guitarist were consumed by their own attack before there was nothing left but fireflies.

"Team Shredder's Powerhouse has been defeated, Team Shredder's Sniper has been defeated." Said the Bunny M.C. surprising the people outside.

"Whoa...That was really fast." Frederick stated. A Formation that can re-direct the attacks of the enemy and double the damage of said attacks. They will have to be very careful of them if they ever face them in the finals.

"Lahaska's Team is really powerful." Said the red-haired girl. She wonders: what class they are? One of them has to be a wall, there was no way that both of them were walls. Maybe supporter? That could be it! Wall and Supporter the wall blocked while the supporter buffed the attack and then the wall proceeds to re-direct the attack. Together these two are dangerous so they must fight them one-on-one. Thou this brings the question...What class is Lahaska?

()

Speaking of the Black-haired girl, Lahaska was just toying with the man. She really was out of the league of this guy. She has assumed that he is a powerhouse considering how slow his movements were. This will not last long. Heck, she wouldn't even use her Core Shift for this!

"Come on hold still so I can blast you, you little bitch!" Shouted the man. Lahaska just complied.

"Well?! What are you waiting for? An invitation? Shoot already!" He shoots the shock wave. Lahaska simply blocked it, but not with her sword but with her black glove.

"How?! That's impossible!"

"Really? Because it was pretty simple to me." The black-haired girl yawned. "This is getting really boring, how about we end this before you put me to sleep with your awful performance. If I was at a concert I would have already asked for a refund."

"You little...!" Out of anger the man maxes the volume of the guitar and sends a huge sound wave the black-haired girl's way. Lahaska waited a few seconds before she simply disappeared. ('She vanished') The man said surprised. Even if she was a scouter all this time he would've noticed how fast she could have been. Before he could core shift, however, Lahaska has already stabbed him in the chest.

"You're done...Oh and thanks for the new move." Lahaska told the man before her glove vibrated and the sword sends a sound-wave ending the leader of Team Shredders and the match.

"Team Shredders' Core has been defeated, Team Shredders have been eliminated. Final Result: Team New Gen advances." At this rate, her battles will be a piece of cake.

()

Meanwhile, the crowd was impressed by Team New Gen. As soon as all competitors were out they cheered and shouted their name.

"New Gen! New Gen!" Those were the chants of the crowd.

"Looks like they have their favorite," Adel said. She doesn't know what happened since their matches ended at the same time but...it seems that this team might be more powerful than any other team they will face. But that is yet to be seen as they are in the same bracket as Aeris' childhood friends' team.

()

Meanwhile, Leos and Inès were hearing the chants of Team New Gen. The unknown team has become popular as soon as this match ended in a very dominant and fast rate. If this keeps up they will become the favorites to win not only this tournament but perhaps the World Tournament itself.

"Sir...This Darcell Lahaska. Did she use Copycat?" Copycat is an ability that allows the user to copy the attacks of an opponent. Unlike the Omega Eyes who send information and adjust the attack so it can become more powerful, Copycat does an exact replica with equal speed and power. It's a unique ability and not too many have been able to obtain it or even master it. In fact, only 4 has been able to do so, one of them works with them.

"Yes. Darcell Lahaska is a very unique girl you see. From what I have gathered she is from as you know a very high-power royal family. Tasked to be the best in every way she was taught early age about this game by her family."

"Lahaska...she has the same last name as..."

"Ah yes, Well let's continue watching the tournament, after all, we need to get ready when our little black hat hacker friend shows up," Leos told his secretary. Inès was a bit suspicious about her boss' behavior but just simply ignore it as not wanting to talk about her. It is for the good, she was a hero and it will be better to leave her be. She is in a better place now. But the president is right, they must get ready. As their battle against the black hat hackers is not over yet...in fact, it has just only begun.
