Morning came and Mei and her group were back at the battle stages in the center of the city. This time Kang Bo was the one who was going to start things off by saying a few words. He hovered in the air to make sure everyone could see him with his hands behind his back. "Today we will be the start of the main tournament. I am not good with words, so I will not say much. I can only tell you all that I wish you luck. Let the battles begin!"
A loud cheer was heard as the first ones up jumped up on their appointed battle stages. This was the preliminaries, basically a one on one knock out battle. Each person got to go on stage and fight against someone else. There were one hundred people per stage. If you were knocked out then you would only get a second chance at the end where you could challenge someone from the top ten of that battle stage. Only the top ten of each battle stage would get a chance to fight for a spot in the new generation rankings.
