Nyxia -- Part III -- Day 10

After the change in leadership, Genesis 11 manages a victory but Emmett knows that it's because

• Katsu is a better leader.

• Longwei managed a lucky shot to win.

• Requin rigged the challenge to test Genesis 12's dealing with loss.

• Morning did not participate.

The two competitors names who have just recently been italicized are ...

• Bilal and Emmett

• Omar and Anton

• Roathy and Isadora

• Alex and Bilal

Bilal is injured and cannot fight in the pit. Of the remaining competitors, which three competitors are now in the best position to overtake Emmett?

• Alex, Brett and Jamie

• Brett, Loche and Roathy

• Jasmine, Ida and Parvin

• Noor, Azima and Katsu

What is different about the race in the Waterway today?

• Katsu has let Emmett return to captain Genesis 11's ship.

• Morning is not participating in today's activities.

• It's a speed race, with no obstacles.

• The water is flowing more slowly.

Emmett devises a plan to help Genesis 11 win this particular race. What is it?

• He has Bilal create a grappling hook from Nyxia and will shoot it to Genesis 12. Once someone attempts to remove the hook, Genesis 11 will pull that participant in the water, which will lessen Genesis 12's power and speed.

• He has Jasmine create a cannonball that is shot at Genesis 12's ship, causing a hole and weighing them down considerably.

• He has Longwei create a harpoon that is shot into Genesis 12's hull, which Genesis 11 will use to 'tag-along' with Genesis 12, draining Genesis 12's energy/speed.

• He has Jamie create an additional rotor under the water on the ship, which gives Genesis 11 a significant speed advantage.

How does Morning foil Emmett's plan?

• She creates an attack bird from nyxia which destroys Genesis 11's ship.

• She diverts the water in the Waterway causing Genesis 11's ship to ground.

• She jumps from her ship to Genesis 11 and captures Katsu, holding him hostage.

• She creates a wall out of nyxia that Genesis 11 cannot avoid in the Waterway ... leading to a crash.

In the pit-fight after the Waterway, Emmett fights Loche. What happens?

• Loche uses an interesting rolling maneuver to overtake Emmett and win.

• Emmett beats Loche badly, and has a chance to really injure him, but decides to back-off.

• Loche injures himself when his sword attack backfires.

• Loche tries to elicit help from his team and is disqualified for cheating.

Genesis 11 is losing so much that someone is in danger of losing a captain's position on Eden. Who?

• Longwei

• Jamie

• Katsu

• Isadora

Day 10's chapter concludes with Emmett speaking to Bilal. What does the reader learn from this conversation?

• Bilal believes that Babel will keep its promises to provide for his family despite losing in the competition.

• Emmett believes that Bilal will get better and earn his way down to Eden.

• Emmett has learned to despise Bilal for his weakness.
