They watched as Kyler was successful in putting his head through the cinderblocks. "There's nothing in his head. He probably can't feel them." Hailey insulted with crossed arms.
After a long while, Daryl ran back to the mat. "Alright everyone, the results are in!" He announced. "The winner of the skills challenge is. . ."  He took an anticipating pause. "Grayson Hamilton of Eagle Fang karate!" 
Grayson almost fainted. "YES!"  Hailey yelled at the top of her lungs and and jumped into his arms. His eyes widened in complete shock. 
"That's my best fucking friend!" Oliver shouted from the other side of the mat.
"Yes, Hammy!" Shouted Odessa along with his team.
"Hamilton, go!" Johnny ordered but he had a large smile on his face.
Grayson put Hailey down and he ran to the mat. He took the trophy from Daryl and held it up in the air.  "YEAH! WHOO!"  He screamed. 
"That's my baby boy!" Thalia roared along with the crowd. 
This time, Grayson did dog pile on his teammates and they jumped up and down joyfully. Johnny took him by the shoulders and shook him. Both of them yelling in each other's faces. Grayson just put them in the lead. 





















As the dojos continued their tactic speak,  one of the men on the board of the All Valley tapped on the mic.  Everyone turned their attention to him. "Ladies and gentlemen, the make and female division qualifiers are about to begin. And with that, we enter a new era!" He announced into the mic. 
The audience cheered in excitement.  
"That's why we ned a very special guest to kick things off!" He continued. "Let's give a big All Valley welcome to multi-Grammy award winning, international superstar, Carrie Underwood!"
Oliver went bug eyed as Carrie Underwood walked on the mat.  "AHHHH!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. He grabbed Demetri and started shaking him while pointing at her.  "It's Carrie Ubderwood!"
"IT'S CARRIE UNDERWOOD!"  Thalia screamed as well. 
"I have a girl crush on her!" Hailey exclaimed and almost burst into tears. 
Miguel looked Grayson with a questionable stare. He only shrugged. "They love powerful female singers."
Demetri was giving his boyfriend a crazed look as he almost burst into tears like Hailey and he shouted Carrie Underwood's name like he was at concert.
After the country singer gave an amazing performance,  her voice sounding like an angel, Johnny came back to his team.  "Listen up," he said and they gathered around. "We have a slight conflict."
"Which is?" Odessa asked.
"We have an extra girl. There's nine boys and ten of you. That means one of you will have to fight an extra time."  He explained while looking between the three girls on the team. 
Odessa, Hailey, and Devon looked at each other, contemplating. Odessa raised her brows at Hailey. Hailey shrugged but then shook her head after. They looked at Devon who looked nervous at the question and all she did was shrug as well. Her and Hailey looked to Odessa and raised their eyebrows at her. She narrowed her eyes and titled her head.
All the guys watched them. Johnny was confused. "Is this a chick thing?" He asked. 
"It's called girls intuition." Mitch answered. His eyes widened slightly. "I'm assuming."
"They're having a conversation. Just in their heads." Said Grayson. He had been friends with Odessa and Hailey for so long that he got used to their silent conversations.
