All of the Grozny fans remained in their seats, wearing the same solemn expression on their faces. None of them joined in on any of the blind discussions that were raging across the stadium. Instead, they sat quietly, waiting for the group battle to start. Naturally, that wasn't the case for the rest of the audience. The Skylink was now broadcasting the highlights from the previous duels, as well as the excited and unrestrained chatter from the commentators and analysts. Of course, they would not give up on the opportunity to promote and showcase themselves to the world.
After half an hour, the resting period was over. As both squadrons started to send their respective lineups up, the entire stadium turned quiet, to the extent that it felt as though there were no people present within.
The first to appear on the side of the stage was Vladimir, immediately turning the Stuart Dimensional Stadium so silent one could hear a pin drop.
