Media:BotB overshadowed by unruly contestant

0762 BotB overshadowed by unruly contestant. Knox Pooley 05/02/2003 05/02/2053 Thursday May 1st, 2053. The second round of competition had more distraction than the first round of competition. However, the top three finishers were no different than that of the first round. Pride Tien Leung, Miss Nicky Winters, The police chief, and Mayor all witnessed the victory of Stat in the accuracy competition. Second place finisher was Princess Jundarra. The third place finisher was Zeal Zundares. This leaves Stat in lead of the tournament with six points, and the two ladies tied for second with three points each. The next event will be the martial arts event. Princess Jundarra and Zeal Zundares both need a victory to have a chance at upsetting Stat for the grand champion.

The second round boasted more competitors than the first event. Also competing was Tundra, Syphon, and Zip.

The competition changed course after Tundra, Syphon, and Zip all missed their targets. A shot was fired at Zip and the contestant rushed off to attack a man on top of the Dragon Palace watching the events. The police and guards tried to break up the fight. Eventually, Pride Tien Leung convinced Zip to come back to the spectators area. A discussion was held between Zip and the police chief. It is reported by the police that they only wanted Zip to come in for questioning. Instead he fled and is now inelligible for future competition. This may be reversed if Zip comes and turns himself in for questioning at the police. Zip fled the Dragon Palace and police are searching for him. His wife is currently in police custody for questioning. The police also report that they believe there was an assassination attempt on Zip's life but are not sure who did it. Anyone with leads or information is encouraged to contact the police.

After this event, Stat won the event and Zeal and Princess Jundarra was in a shoot off for second. Princess Jundarra's use of bow and arrows topped Zeal's use of a Lazer Pistol. Stat won with javelins. (Picture of each contestant and their weapons. Syphon used Shurikens and Zip used a Pistol. Tundra used his ice blasts.) The committee overseeing the event reports that the pistol Zip was using is missing and it might still be with him. Police warn that Zip may be armed and dangerous. The awards ceremony proceeded without event, but what happened afterwards suprised everyone. Some words were exchanged between Stat and Syphon. The next thing was an enraged Syphon striking Stat with a punch! (Picture of Syphon punching Stat) Stat knocked Syphon back down and more words were exchanged. Zeal, Jundarra, and Tundra all gathered around Syphon for support. The crowd started cheering for Syphon and Princess Jundarra! The princess said some words to Stat and she took one of his Javelins. It seemed like everyone was aga inst the winner of the first two events. However, before anything could happen, Stat fled to an awaiting limousine and left the event. Ahh what tension! What suspense. What will happen in the next event? Will Syphon and Stat face off? Or will Jundarra and Stat fight? It seems like there is a heated rivalry among the contestants! Also... Will last year's champion, Beta Zu come? Will Zip come back? Who was that mysterious person that Zip attacked? (Hazy Picture of Dual) We should find out in the third round of competition, The martial arts event! Next Thursday at the Dragon Palace at 8 pm EST.
