Eliminations

What are you talking about? I thought you would take care of that princess bitch!, Jelioz snorting with another man behind the trees. Forget it. If you can't handle it I will, then.

Hey, Jel….!

Nidar? What are you doing here?, Chana with a half questioning look. Ah, hello there, Chana. I was looking for someone, a girl, since she asked me to meet here here…hehe!!!

Oh, ahh, I think I just saw Jelioz but I haven't seen any girl around. Are you talking about me? Or….

Ah nope. But are you free, then?, Nidar airily said extending his hand to kiss Chana's hand but the woman looked at him weirdly.

Not in your dreams silly boy! Never…hahhh. What is happening to most of men or women these days? So hopeless. Ahhhhh!!!!, Chana also thinking about Keyoshi, exhaling heavily and looking up feeling defeated while walking away from Nidar shrugging his shoulders.

The Hunt organizers including Chief Lolo and Sir Taiyo have chosen the ten teams to travel and fight mythical creatures mostly dragons in Mimiko's twin isle Yosha. It is smaller than Yomi but the bravest of warrior hunters would go there to poach extraordinary animals for food and pet. But not all comes out of that isle alive or unhurt.

Ten teams reached the semi-finals and the cut includes Shito, Miriad, Kari, Kabu and Ferion along with America's Veluis (combustion man) and Argar (half female, half owl), Europe's Jahur (human vampire) and Kriss (Brit accent man-wolf) Meso's Mera and Kilo, then from Asia are Mari and Kish. The tenth team from Russia called Pandora was supposed to join the pact but since they tricked the judges using magic to claim the tenth spot, they were eliminated from the semi-final cut. The rule of the games is that each competitor can use their human abilities and power but not with the help of scientific knowledge and witchcraft. The contenders can only use these if they qualify as contenders for Yoshi Island for the finals. Now nine teams are about to fight for their place in the Five Team finalists for The Hunt. Who will be powerful, strong and brave enough to battle the fiercest creatures of the wild in Yoshi Island. Find out!

Who are you talking to? Ah..Keyoshi?, Yuna said moving closer to Shi while she was like a host retelling the teams who made it to the cut off for the semis. Ahhh…hahahaah, Yuna, were you stalking me? What are you doing here? At…this late….at night, ah evening?

Hmm…I was just walking around clearing my head about the challenges we are up against in Yoshi. I really feel bad that the Russians didn't make the cut!

Well, they cheated, but I they qualify for the tribe regionals so I'm sure they will be back again in five years! However, it's unlikely with the team to really cheat. So I also wondered why they did it!

Maybe we can ask them on that issue?

Yuna, the organizers have decided to disqualify them and Emu pulled out of the competition, hey, Yuna, where are you going?, Keyoshi added and tried to run after Yuna as the girl followed the Russian Team trying to get out of the village, the competition and the island.

Emu, why did you? Tell me. I have been your friend. We were best buddies. What happened?, Yuna asked with her eyes begging for a tiny explanation of why the team cheated when it was forbidden to use magic for the elimination round.

I'm sorry Yuna. Please tell your father that it's not intended. Thank Chief Lolo and Taiyo for the accommodation. We did feel so welcome and now we need to step back and try it out at the regionals. Good bye Yuna. See you next Hunt!, Emu with her team said. Emu was the only woman to head a team, excluding Keyoshi who was chosen to as Miriad's team lead. Why? I just don't understand. You always wanted to be part of the game and it's just, it's just it isn't you who would jeopardize your team especially in the competition we both dreamed to compete in sine we were little girls?

I'm sorry Yuna. Goodbye!, Emu replied who was about to say something, maybe the reason why they were eliminated, but she stopped when she saw Yuna's father looking, watching her every move and her, intently.

I'm sorry. I love you Yuna, my friend, but I can't! See you around!, Emu said and rode her horse out of the village, not looking back from where Yuna is standing, waiting for a straight explanation to what happened and why Emu and her team did what they did.

What's so weird about it? Yuna, you're just paranoid!, Keyoshi in a teasing tone. Shut up, I'm not talking to you! Get away from me!, Yuna shoving Keyoshi.

Ow, that hurts!, Shi caressing her shoulder and looking at Yuna innocently.

Father! Father!!!!!, Yuna angrily walked inside their hut seeing her father peacefully drinking his cup of honey lemon tea.

My dear! What's the problem? You seem distressed?, Jazpar caught unaware.

You know something that I don't. Father, don't lie to me! Did you know that Emu will be using her powers on the semis? Or you advised her to do it since she is one of the toughest competitors Keyoshi and I would be fighting against with to bag the Hunt crown? Don't lie to me! You are a con and I know she respects you too much that she will do everything you asked her to do!, Yuna now standing in front of her father, with her face red in anger.

Why would I do that? Am I not confident that you and Shi would win the game? Haha…you speak falsely and that's pathetic, you accusing your father with such lies. I'm not a loser and neither are you! So, no I didn't convince her to refute anything, especially their chance to become champions of the Hunt!, Jazpar denying the issue.
