The crossed paths

Searching for The Mangle... wait, who is this guy?

After the first match, some participants got scared and escaped. But not Julia, or Tiger, or their friends. Specially Atsuya.

/Next match: Kaeru Izamika vs Matoi Honosaki. Second match—Time limit: 35:00 minutes. Ready?\

Two guys went calmly to the arena. One had yellow, long hair, and the other had black and short hair.

/Go!\

The battle started, but Julia wasn't paying attention at all. She was watching all the participants who didn't escape. Who could be The Mangle?  Nobody seemed to be her... Or him.

-I'll beat you in ten minutes!

-Prove it!

Kaeru and Matoi were fighting hard, but that was nothing compared to the first match.

Meanwhile, Atsuya was resting in a white room. He was sleeping, but suddenly he woke up.

-There's something strange here... I don't like this. My senses tell me that something bad is gonna happen.

He tried to stand up, but his legs were in a bad state.

-Well, it's because of this that the people created a chair with wheels! =D

He sat down in a chair that was near his bed and it had wheels. He started to move from his room to the corridor, and then he just followed his instincts.

-Wow, this chair is surely the best thing I've never meet. Let's see what happens if...

Atsuya took a breath, and then "Brooooom!!!" He shouted. He was playing with the chair, thinking that it was a car or something. The corridors were like a labyrinth, and that was good AND bad at the same time. Atsuya could've some fun, but...

-Wait, didn't I pass near this door four times before? Oh, crap... I'm lost.

Back to the arena, the winner was Matoi. It was a short battle; that's true. But it was just a little bit funny.

-Shall we go to bed?- asked Geo.

-Hm? Are you tired?

-No, but I don't think that they will call us to fight today.

//Do you know what time is it?!?\\

The audience cheered, again. -_-

//It's LUNCH TIME!!!!\\

-FOOD!!!- Answered Tiger.

Some tables appeared in the center of the arena, and the Staff put some food on them. Well, not some food. It was a lot.

Tiger jumped from the arena and started to eat like an animal.

-T-Tiger, calm down. There is enough food for everybody.

-I am *nom nom* not so *crunch, nom, nom* sure *more strange sounds*. Some people can *crunch* eat more than this *here comes the airplane!♪*. So because of that *are you really reading this?* I'll eat before them. *This meat is awesome*

-I think I can understand that... Hey, look.

-What?

Geo pointed to the other side of the table. There was a little girl there, with pink hair and a cute face.

-What is that little girl doing here...?

-She's 8 years old, or maybe less! How could she get in the games?

-Maybe- said Geo -maybe she is like me. When you saw me for first time, you though I had 10 years old, didn't you, Tiger-san?

-Oh, well...

-That is it. I can transform into a titan, and with that, nobody would care about my age. Perhaps she can transform into something.

-Who knows.

Tiger kept eating more and more, like a beast. Suddenly, when he was searching for more food, he crashed with someone.

-Ouch!

-Oh, so sorry! I'm really really sorry, young lady! Are you alright...?

-Yeah, but you should be more careful next time... Wait, who are you?

-Same question for you.

-Is your name... Shirou...?

-Hahahahaha!!!

-W-what!? Did I say something wrong??

-No, no! It's just that my second name is Shirou. My first name is Tiger.

-TIGER SHIROU!?!?!

-HEY, calm down!

-Don't you remember me?! I'm Julia!
