"We did it!"
Kasandra shouted happily and threw her hands up in the air in celebration.
There was little doubt that this had been the most difficult event in the competition so far, and they were the ones that managed to claim victory.
"I almost still don't believe it, but you're right, we won." Avery said, slumping back in his chair.
All of the tension that had been holding him up during the free-for-all battle vanished all at once.
Even when his life had been on the line in many battles of the past, he did not think that any of them were quite as harrowing as this one.
Going up against so many capable pilots that had comparable ships and decades of experience on him had been a true challenge.
Of course, he knew if it was not for teaming up with Liesel that he never would have made it this far in the event.
In a true duel against either Atlas or Cerise, he was uncertain if he could win again.
