Festival Time!!!
The festival was in full swing. Smells of foods from across the world filled the air, along with the sounds of music from three different stages. The occasional firework lit up the sky, coming from random spots all around the festival. Yet even still, the climax of the festival had not arrived.
Per tradition, the champion and the runner up would be asked to take the main stage, side-by-side. All the music would stop, and they would both make a speech. The runner up would speak first, and the champion would go second. Their faces would be displayed on giant screens behind them and broadcast out into space. After their speech ended, the largest fireworks of the night would light up the sky in every direction surrounding the festival. It was a spectacle, viewable from satellites in space.
Bakuto and Angela stood just behind the main stage, waiting for their cue to go on. The bands at the other two stages had already stopped playing, and the band on the main stage was in the middle of their last song...
