“R.S.D.!” Heavy D! shouted as he lashed out his fist at Shen Long, engulfing it in a spiraling energy. Long’s clone took the attack to the face and was sent reeling.
“My turn, D!-san!” Ryoko announced as she jumped ahead of her hero and lashed out her palms, sending a burst of blue energy into Shen Long’s torso, sending the dark-haired man back even further.
“You fools!” Shen Long growled as he got to his feet. “Do you really think that I’m strong enough to be double-teamed?”
“Nah. I just hate prettyboys.” Heavy D! shrugged.
“So you don’t like my face?” Shen Long asked as he lowered himself into a crouching stance. “Why don’t I do something about that, then?”
Engulfing himself in a white light, Shen Long had turned himself into a white tiger again. Letting out a primal roar, the transformed clone threw himself at the two opponents.
Thinking quickly, Heavy D! shoved Ryoko aside and jumped the opposite way himself. Shen Long flew between the two and slashed at nothing but air now that the two were gone.
“Look alive, Ryoko.” Heavy D! warned. “He looks pretty mad.”
Ryoko nodded. “I’ll be careful, D!-san.” She replied.
Heavy D! stood in silence for a couple of seconds, still not used to having such a dedicated fan.
Jedah growled as he swung his arm, creating a blade and slashing it at J. Talbain. The wolfman ducked under the blow and drove his foot into Jedah’s stomach before leaping at him and clawing the demon king in the torso.
“You and the rest of your friends have become major thorns in my side, ruffian!” Jedah shouted. “I could kill you with a glance!”
“Then why haven’t you?” Talbain asked with a smirk.
“Because I’ve been holding back!” Jedah snapped. “But if you really want to play rough, then I’ll gladly throw everything I’ve got at you!”
“Bring it, you freak.” Talbain challenged. “I was one of the ones that beat you before. I can do it again.”
“You don’t have anyone helping you this time, I’ve afraid.” The demon king smirked evilly. “And I wouldn’t be calling me a freak if I were you. Not with a body covered with fur and a nose six inches long.”
“You’ll pay for that one.” The wolfman growled.

Unknown1 and Tinyrocket looked at SSBFreak, whom was currently on the phone. “Look, you’re the one that built him! You need to find a way to get him to turn back to normal before he kills something!” The tournament owner said into the phone. A few seconds of waiting later and he spoke again. “I don’t care how you do it! I’m responsible for everyone in the building, and if that creation of yours kills someone, I’ll be accountable!”
With that, SSBFreak hung up the phone and sighed.
“Tron Bonne still trying to find a way to change the Servbot back to normal?” Unknown1 asked.
“Yeah, and now that we’ve gotten a call that the Servbot’s teamed up with a malfunctioning Gadget Z and a psychotic rabbit to take on three Mortal Kombat characters, things are getting even more serious.” SSBFreak replied.
“Wait. The Servbot, whom has more the less become a war veteran, is teaming up with Gadget Z, whom is acting more randomly than he did last year, and the Rabbid, whom is more random and psychotic than both of them put together?” Unknown1 asked.
“Man. There’s no WAY this is going to end well.” Tinyrocket shook his head.
“We’ll have to keep the security force on top of things.” SSBFreak reasoned.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Unknown1 asked.
(Hotel; Bison’s Room)
“Excellent work.” Bison said as Birdie handed over a piece of the Master Emerald. “That makes five.”
“I don’t think we’ll be able to get all of the pieces, boss.” Birdie pointed out. “That red echidna is also searching for the pieces.”
“And he’s gathered a LOT of shards already.” Ganondorf added.
“I’m not worried.” Bison replied casually. “We can easily swipe it all from him later.” He looked towards Shao Kahn, whom was standing aside. “Were you able to get any more help?”
“I was able to enlist Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Kano and Motaro.” Shao Kahn replied. “I wanted to get Jarek as well, but he’s become more of a one-man army against all of us.”
Suddenly, Vega burst through the door, looking beat up. “Sir! Some punks took the key to the locker we were storing that blue-skinned woman in!”
This caught Bison’s attention fully. Although he was visibly angry, he looked at the rest of the people in the room. “Where’s O’Chunks?” He asked.
“He’s getting ready to enter in the next section.” Ash Crimson replied, arms folded.
“That blue penguin had better be successful in this mission I gave him.” Bison growled. “We need to have leverage so that bearded fighter will still assist us.”
(The Arena)
Testament growled and swung his scythe, trying to strike an invisible Leon Powalski. However, unknown to the black-haired man, the reptilian assassin he was trying to hit was nowhere near his zone of sight and was off fighting Snake.
“I hope you realize how stupid you’re making yourself look.” The Stormtrooper pointed out as he grabbed Testament by the shoulder and smashed his armoured fist into his face.
“Shut up!” Testament shouted. “You shouldn’t have such a sharp tongue! I am easily ten times more powerful than you!”
“Then let’s see that power in action.” The Stormtrooper challenged as he hoisted his laser rifle.
“As you wish.” Testament said as he leapt at the white-clad foot soldier and slashed at him. The Stormtrooper jumped backwards, but didn’t move fast enough and received a slash to the chest. Thankfully, the armour of a Stormtrooper was tough, so all the scythe did was give him a little cut.
Testament left himself open after his attack, so this gave the Stormtrooper enough time to jump in and club the reaper lookalike in the head with his rifle. The foot soldier continued the assault with a knee to the chest, but this just made Testament angrier.
“Get away from me!” Testament shouted as he kicked the Stormtrooper off of him. The soldier landed on the canvas and slid forward for a few feet before getting up to lean on his hands.
Testament slowly approached the fallen soldier and raised his scythe. “Time to finish you off.” He said.
The Stormtrooper looked up at Testament and chuckled. If anyone would have been able to look into his helmet, he would have been smirking as well.
“What’s so funny?” The reaper lookalike asked.
“Look down.” The Stormtrooper replied as he threw himself to the canvas and covered his head.
Testament raised an eyebrow and looked down, only to realize that the Stormtrooper had planted a thermal detonator on him while he had gotten close.
Unfortunately, there was nothing Testament could do about it now and the bomb exploded, engulfing Tsetament in fire.
The explosion died down two seconds later and the Stormtrooper got up, looking down at Testament’s charred, but still alive, body. This made the reaper easy pickings for the Stormtrooper to pick up and throw out of the ring.
Testament landed in Golden Sun, where the heroes saw him as a monster and rushed in to kill him.
Heavy D! was currently in the struggle of his life, using his hands to keep Shen Long’s tiger mouth from closing around his head. The dark-skinned boxer started sweating as he felt himself starting to lose the battle. Shen Long’s fangs got dangerously close to his head.
“D!-san!”
That was when Ryoko jumped in and delivered a powerful judo chop to Shen Long’s back. The white tiger roared in pain as he let go of Heavy D!, turning around to stare down Ryoko.
“Keep stalling him, Ryoko!” Heavy D! ordered as he jumped onto Shen Long’s back and wrapped an arm around the tiger’s neck. “His time as a beast has to be almost up by now!”
“Right, D!-san!” Ryoko nodded as she sent another energy blast into Shen Long’s stomach, sending him flying away.
However, Heavy D! was still on him and Shen Long landed on his back, crushing the boxer and knocking the wind out of him. This forced Heavy D! to release Shen Long, whom quickly stood up and rushed at Ryoko rather than finish off Heavy D!.
Ryoko was scared as Shen Long approached, but she stood her ground, her fist held up and prepared to continue battle with the white tiger.
Shen Long slashed at Ryoko, but the young fighter ducked under the blow and kicked the larger fighter in the stomach. Shen Long stepped backwards a couple of steps, but quickly recovered and charged at the young girl again.
The white tiger plowed into Ryoko shoulder-first, knocking her to the canvas. Shen Long towered over her and lifted his claws to finish her off.
Before he could get the chance, a white light engulfed Shen Long, and when it vanished, he was a human again.
“Of all the rotten-” Shen Long started to say before Ryoko grabbed him by the arm and threw him over her shoulder and over the ropes.
Shen Long landed in Sonic Adventure 2. He was promptly run over by the huge truck chasing Sonic down in City Escape.
“That was close.” Ryoko said to herself. “If he didn’t change back when he did, I don’t think I would have been able to-”
“Soul Flower!”
Ryoko turned and saw Heavy D! performing a Soul Flower, sending Hugo out of the ring (and sending Suikoden 3’s protagonist into the node of Harry Potter, where he proved to be a more formidable wizard than half of Harry’s school).
“What happened, D!-san?” Ryoko asked.
“The kid thought he could take me out while I was down.” Heavy D! replied. “I just decided to prove him wrong.”
“Let go of me, you goth-emo vampire!” Jr. Troopa screamed at Jurgen as he continued to try and push against the vampire’s hand. However, Jurgen was still holding onto the small koopa’s forehead, preventing the deranged kid from going any further.
“Vhy do you call me that?” Jurgen asked, feigning hurt. “Vampire’s haff feelings too, you know. He once again looked in a different direction and put on a pouty expression. “As if anyone vould care.” He said, acting depressed, as he looked down at Jr. Troopa again.
“Let go!” Jr. Troopa shouted, swinging his staff (missing Jurgen again). “I have a score to settle with that plumber!”
Jurgen looked, only to see Freakazoid running around the ring, still dressed as Mario. He looked down at Jr. Troopa again. “Kinda tall, isn’t he?”
“Not that weirdo, stupid!” Jr. Troopa roared. “Mario!”
“Vell, if you think I vill let go simply for that, you are mistaken.” Jurgen shrugged with his free hand.
Jr. Troopa growled and started running headfirst into Jurgen’s palm, kicking up dust and looking like he would be running at full speed if Jurgen wasn’t holding in place.
Gears turned in the vampire’s head as he looked over his shoulder and saw Metaknight and Nakoruru fighting Sigma. Smirking, Jurgen vanished in a cloud of purple smoke and reappeared a few feet away. Beause he was still trying to run when Jurgen teleported, Jr. Troopa charged forward at top speed, unknowingly running directly towards the three-way fight.
Jurgen chuckled and cupped a hand beside his mouth. “Head’s up, short vone!” He called out.
Metaknight turned to see Jr. Troopa charging at him. “Hmph. Another annoyance.” He said as he grabbed the oncoming koopa and suplexed him in a Kirby-like fashion, sending Jr. Troopa out of the ring. He then used his sword to block a slash from Sigma’s claws.
Jr. Troopa landed on a small, round planet. Looking around, Jr. Troopa wondered where he was.
“That’s strange.” The koopa said to himself. “There’s nothing-”
Suddenly, Mario appeared in front of him, then another one appeared, and then another one. Mario copies kept popping up everywhere until the entire small planet had been covered with 128 Mario clones. Jr. Troopa screamed in rage.
(Announcer’s Booth)
“…What?”
“The original demo video for Mario 128.”
“Man! Jr. Troopa’s attacking them!”
“Yeah. Too bad for him they can all fight back.”
(The Arena)
Ashelin ducked as Sodom swung his sai over her head, then delivered a hard kick to his chest. The American shogun backed away, but recovered in time for Ashelin to come running at him. Grabbing the redhead she-elf by the leg, Sodom tossed her behind him.
The elven woman landed on her side, the hit feeling harder due to fatigue starting to weigh her down. Ashelin managed to get to her feet again and charged at Sodom, swinging her fist in a right hook. The punch connected and Sodom staggered to the side, but Ashelin felt the hit as well due to the Japanese wannabe wearing a hard helmet.
“Man. That was some punch.” Sodom noted. “Even with my helmet I could really feel that one. That must’ve hurt a bit.”
Ashelin decided to ignore the pain in her wrist and reminded herself not to do that again. “Your helmet may be tough, but I don’t think you have as much armour on the rest of your body!” She said as she charged forward.
Sodom’s eyes widened when Ashelin said that and his hands instantly went down to block an anticipated kick to the crotch. However, Ashelin’s foot went straight into his stomach while he wasn’t ready, knocking him flat onto his back.
“Oh. That’s where you were aiming for.” Sodom moaned as he slowly got to his feet.
“You’ve lost, shogun.” Ashelin said. “You have potential, but you still have a ways to go.”
With that, Ashelin jumped forward and swung her foot to kick Sodom out of the ring.
That was when Sodom grabbed the she-elf’s torso and lifted her into the air, using his sai as forklift prongs. Slamming Ashelin into the canvas headfirst, Sodom rushed forward, pushing Ashelin along for the ride. Sodom quickly reached the ropes and lifting his sai into the air, flipping Ashelin over the ropes and sending her tumbling out of the ring.
Ashelin landed in Mario Strikers: Charged. Seeing the ball coming at her, Ashelin gave it a hard kick and sent into down Petey Piranha’s throat.
“Whew! That was almost TOO close.” Sodom said to himself as he turned to see if he could find a new fight. He saw J. Talbain shoving Jedah over the ropes (sending the blue-skinned demon king into Resident Evil, where it was proven that even HE was no match for Wesker), but decided against fighting him and rushed off to start a fight elsewhere.
Sodom took two steps before Freakazoid zipped up beside him, startling the American shogun.
“Hi! You must be Sodom!” Freakazoid said. “I’ve heard so much about you!”
“You have?” Sodom asked hopefully.
“Of course! I know all about you being an American that wants to be Japanese and you can’t say a word of the language properly!” The blue-skinned superhero replied.
Sodom sighed. “Figures.”
Freakazoid suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw nothing. Sodom took this opportunity to slink off elsewhere.
“Where’s the guy that tapped me on the shoulder?” Freakazoid scratched his head before cupping his hands around his mouth. “Helllllooooooo! Come out, come out, wherever you are!” He called out.
Something suddenly punched him in the side of the face, knocking Freakazoid to the canvas. The zany superhero looked up to see Leon Powalski materialize in front of him.
“Gee. That wasn’t very nice, you know.” Freakazoid said.
“My friend, I am an assassin.” Leon replied. “Since when did I care about-” Freakazoid gasped as he jumped to his feet, covering his mouth. Leon paused and lifted a non-existent eyebrow. “Um…What is it?”
“You just said two bad words, mister!” Freakazoid accused, pointing at Leon. “Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to say bad words?!”
The chameleon stopped to think, then slapped himself in the forehead. “Of all the stupid…” He muttered before looking at Freakazoid. “I said ‘ASSASSIN’, my boy.”
“You said them again!” Freakazoid proclaimed before zooming around Leon, suddenly dressed in drag and wearing a bad wig. “Son, you’re a shame to the family! How could you use such foul language!”
Leon clenched his fists and growled. Spinning in place, Leon clocked Freakazoid and sent him to the canvas.
“That’s no way to treat your mother!” Freakazoid pointed out.
Leon was about to shout back before calming himself down. “If you’d be so kind as to stop the stupid act, we can get back to our fight and I can kick the tar out of your freak in.”
Freakazoid paused. “What’s a ‘freak in’?” He asked.
Unfortunately, just as Leon planned, Freakazoid had just said ‘freak in’, and in a burst of light, the zany superhero had become his nerdy, powerless alter ego, Dexter Douglas. “Uh…Oops.” The nerdy teenager said.
Leon smirked. “Wow. That actually worked.” He said as he picked up the now de-powered Freakazoid and chucked him out of the ring.
Dexter landed in Whiplash, where he turned back into Freakazoid and shoved his head into an electric generator to give him a power boost (or maybe just for the fun of it).
(Dome; Hallway)
“Stay still, kid!” King Dedede shouted as he swung his hammer at Mimi. “Don’t make this any harder than it needs to be!”
“You’re working for the guy that took Nassy!” Mimi shouted as she jumped over the blue penguin and kicked Dedede in the back. “You think I’m going to let myself be beaten?!”
“I knew you’d be passed talking to.” Dedede muttered. “Too bad. I may have to do something I may regret.”
“It’s going to take a lot more than to make me regret this!” Mimi snapped as she jumped onto Dedede’s shoulders and started pounding his head.
“Hey! Stop that, kid!” Dedede shouted angrily. “That’s annoying me more than hurting me!”
“Then maybe I should up the ante, then!” The green girl pointed out as she jumped off Dedede and performed a transformation. When the transformation ended, Mimi had turned herself into a copy of Kyo Kusanagi, whom swung his hand at Dedede and gave the penguin a mouthful of fire.
King Dedede felt the full power of the attack and flew backwards a couple of feet, but landed upright and rushed forward again, swinging his hammer at the transformed Mimi. Mimi gave the blue king a kick to the head, and since she was in the form of Kyo, the kick hurt that much more.
“You’re making me mad, kid!” Dedede snapped. “It’s time I stopped fooling around!”
“Mimi, be careful!” Peach called out from the sidelines as Mimi turned back to normal.
“I’m doing fine, Peachy.” Mimi replied. “I just need to keep him on the edges.”
“You’re not gonna get the chance, kid.” Dedede said as he pulled his hammer into the air as if preparing to swing it.
“You already tried that, you big blue meanie.” Mimi replied. “What makes you think it’ll work now?”
Mimi’s question was answered when Dedede’s hammer opened up, revealing a mechanized jet engine, which was quickly building up energy. The green girl’s eyes widened, but before she could react, Dedede swung his hammer, striking Mimi with full force. Mimi flew straight into the wall and blacked out instantly, peeling away from the wall and landing on the floor with a dull thud.
“Mimi!” Peach shouted as she rushed over to the fallen girl’s side. However, before she could get far, Dedede slammed his hammer onto the floor in front of her, stopping her and preventing her from going any further.
“You’d best stay away, princess.” Dedede said as he approached Mimi’s body and scooped her up. “I don’t want to hurt you as well.”
“Dedede, why are you doing this?!” The pink-clad princess asked.
“Like I said, I’m being paid for my services.” Dedede replied. “I don’t know what Bison’s planning, but hey, if you want to try and stop him, be my guest. I hear there’s already a good number of people trying to stop him.”
Slinging his huge hammer over his shoulder, Dedede marched off with Mimi in his other arm, leaving Peach alone in the hallway. Peach stood in silence for a few seconds before making a decision.
“I need to find O’Chunks before he enters the ring!”
With that, Peach turned and rushed off, hoping to find the bearded fighter before he entered the ring in the next section.

Whip cracked her namesake weapon at Solid Snake, managing to catch the mercenary by the wrist. Whip gave her whip a good pull, yanking Snake over to her, after which she gave the mercenary a hard kick to the head.
Staggering back a couple of steps, Snake rubbed his chin before a smirk floated across his face. “Kid, you’re pretty tough.” He noted. “You consider a career as a mercenary?”
“Way ahead of you, gramps.” Whip replied. “The Ikari Warriors are the best mercenaries around.”
“If that’s the case, then why haven’t I heard of them?” Snake asked with an even bigger smirk.
“Beats me. You were probably angsting somewhere at how you got turned into an old man for MGS4 while Raiden suddenly became an awesome character with his new look.” Whip replied slyly.
Snake narrowed his eyes and ripped a grenade from his pocket, pulling out the pin. “You’re asking for this, kid.” He said as he hurled the grenade at Whip. The grenade landed at Whip’s feet, and before the female soldier had a chance to evade, the deadly bomb blew up, launching Whip into the air. The dark-haired woman landed on her back and found herself staring up at Solid Snake’s smirking face.
“Had enough, kid?” Snake asked.
“I think not.” Whip replied as she cracked her whip again, giving Snake a hard strike to the chin, drawing a bit of blood. Snake backed off, wiped his chin and inspected the blood.
“Not bad.” Snake noted. “Surprising amount of bleeding, but I’ve seen worse.”
Looking up, Snake saw Whip rushing him, her trusty pistol in hand. Whip cracked her whip again, but Snake ducked under it. He wasn’t prepared for the powerful gunshot that followed, however. Whip’s aim was precise and Snake took an explosive hit to the chest, flying backwards into a turnbuckle.
“Not bad for a kid, eh?” Whip asked with a smirk as she walked over.
“You have potential. I’ll give you that.” Snake replied. “However, I still have one more trick up my sleeve.”
“What might that be, old man?” Whip asked.
Her question was answered when Snake pulled out a rocket launcher from seemingly nowhere, taking aim at the canvas below Whip’s feet. Without giving the young Ikari Warior time to react, Snake shot his rocket launcher and caused an explosion to erupt from underneath Whip’s feet. This explosion was much more powerful than the grenade’s explosion and Whip was sent flying out of the ring.
Whip landed in the Haunted Mansion level in Super Mario 64. Whip got up and dusted herself off, unaware of the several Boos starting to surround her.
RAX kicked the Stormtrooper in the face, making the foot soldier step back a couple of steps. The Stormtrooper quickly recovered and pulled out another Thermal Detonator, throwing it at the kickboxing cyborg. RAX had seen what had happened to Testament and jumped to the side as the mini-nuke exploded on the canvas where he had been standing.
“You can only use one of those things once before people get wise, buddy.” RAX pointed out.
“Hmm…Duly noted.” The Stormtrooper replied before pulling out his laser rifle. “But can you stop a barrage of red laser bolts?” He asked as he opened fire.
“You’d be very surprised.” RAX replied as he used his cybernetic eye to get a lock on all of the oncoming laser bolts and started kicking at a rapid-rate, amazing everyone watching by kicking each oncoming laser bolt and cancelling out each one. When he had finished, RAX was untouched and the Stormtrooper had just run out of ammo.
“Great. My gun’s overheated.” The Stormtrooper sighed as he put his rifle away. “Looks like I’ll have to rely on my fists and feet until my gun’s ready to fire again.”
“You say that like I’ll give you the chance.” RAX said with a smirk as he launched himself at the Stormtrooper, knee-first. The jets on his legs activated, carrying the fighting cyborg into the air and giving the foot soldier a rocket-powered knee to the face.
The Stormtrooper flew backwards but turned himself upright in midair and landed safely on his feet. Breaking into a run, the foot soldier dove at Rax and tackled him to the ground, punching him in the face a couple of times while he was down.
“Is that supposed to hurt?” RAX asked. “That last punch hit me on the metallic side of my face. If anything, it simply hurt your hand.”
“Not true. My armour is tougher than that.” The Stormtrooper replied, showing off his armoured fist. “If I had punched pure concrete, that would be another matter.”
“It’s been fun, but I think I need to finish this.” RAX said as he kicked the Stormtrooper off of him. As the Stormtrooper recoiled, RAX rushed him and drove his foot into the soldier’s face rapidly several times. The last kick sent the white-clad soldier flying away, towards another fight.
Metaknight ducked under a slash from Sigma’s beam sword and glanced upwards. “Hmm…Another fighter coming.” He noted.
“I’ll take this one.” Nakoruru replied as she prepared to strike the oncoming Stormtrooper.
Before she could make the move, Sigma pushed past her and slashed his claws, sending a crescent of power out. The Stormtrooper flew into it and received the full brunt of the attack, flying out of the ring.
The Stormtrooper landed in Smash TV, where he was mistaken for an enemy.
RAX saw this and sighed. “Well, that sucked.” He said. “I was hoping he would go out of the ring from my attack. Looks like I’ll have to-”
Before RAX could finish his sentence, someone did a flying kick from behind. RAX staggered forward, but turned around to face a cowering Luigi, whom was holding up his hands in a stance in an attempt to look fierce.
“Can I help you?” RAX asked, not amused.
Luigi didn’t answer and instead rushed forward, delivering his Flaming Uppercut at close range. This was more than enough to send RAX out of the ring.
“That was scary.” Luigi said to himself. “I didn’t think cyborgs could look that fierce.”
RAX landed in Star Wars Episode 1, directly on top of the speeding podracer of Dud Bolt, taking the racer out. No one noticed.
“This guy is tougher than he looks.” Nakoruru noted as she jumped back to avoid a slash from Sigma. “He’s been fighting both of us with no problem.”
“I am not exactly human, my dear.” Sigma replied with a smirk. “I can take whatever you dish at me.”
“Well, I’m not exactly human either, you bucket of bolts.” Metaknight pointed out as he slashed at the robotic villain.
“Ah, but being a machine, I am much more superior to people like you, my friend.” Sigma replied.
“You actually think that a machine can fight better than an organic lifeform?!” Metaknight asked. “A soulless machine could never best a real person in combat!”
“I’ve been doing well thus far.” Sigma reminded.
“He has a point.” Nakoruru pointed out as she used her dagger to block an attack from the robotic villain.
“Don’t encourage him, woman!” Metaknight shouted as he jumped at Sigma and slashed several times with his sword. He managed to get a couple of hits in, and this stalled Sigma long enough for Nakoruru to drive her dagger into his stomach.
Unfortunately, this did little to hurt Sigma, whom laughed and got down in Nakoruru’s face. “Did you really think that would do anything?” He asked.
“No. That was to get you to come close.” Nakoruru replied as she jumped and kicked Sigma in the face, making the surprised villain step back towards the ropes. This gave Nakoruru the chance to rush forward and push Sigma out of the ring.
Sigma landed in the middle of the desert in Paper Mario. Trying to find a way out, he got hopelessly lost.
Nakoruru turned to see Metaknight having a sword fight with Thomas. The timid young master of Budehuc Castle had obviously underestimated the small sword fighter’s ability and started a fight. Nakoruru was tempted to go help Metaknight, but decided against it.
“Fairly impressive swordsman skills.” Metaknight noted as he blocked another slash from Thomas. “You have a personal trainer?”
“N-No. It’s all self-taught.” Thomas replied nervously as he continued to unleash on Metaknight. “My mother wasn’t a fighter and my father didn’t want anything to do with me.”
“Okay. Touchy subject.” Metaknight quickly said as he advanced on Thomas, whom blocked his next few attacks. “But you still made the mistake of fighting someone as skilled as I am.”
“I just assumed that someone so small wouldn’t be that good of a fighter.” Thomas gave a nervous shrug.
“You’ve obviously never played SSB.” Metaknight noted, raising an eyebrow behind his mask. “I think I’d better get you out of the ring. You’re a nervous wreck as it is.”
Without giving Thomas time to react, Metaknight spun around in a small, orange tornado, lifting Thomas into the air. Metaknight quickly jumped after the boy and sent him out of the ring with a kick.
(Announcer’s Booth)
“And Metaknight has scored yet another two eliminations for the section!” SSBFreak announced. “The SSB gang is dominating everyone else for eliminations!”
“Say. Where’d Thomas end up going, anyway?” Tinyrocket asked.
The three looked at a monitor for a few seconds before their faces turned white.
“Oh, nothing good can come of this…” Unknown1 said, shaking his head.

“Author Snap!”
Doing another trademark move, Matt Palmateer created a stick of dynamite in his hand. Snapping the fingers of his other hand, Matt created a flame on his thumb and lit the dynamite, throwing it at his opponent, Chun-Li.
Street Fighter’s leading lady quickly jumped to the side to avoid the dynamite, which quickly exploded once she was out of harm’s way. Rolling into a standing position, Chun-Li looked at Matt and lashed out her hands. “Kikoken!” She shouted.
Matt ducked under the flaming blue projectile that shot forth from Chun-Li’s hands and quickly hopped on his Warp Star again. Matt zoomed close to Chun-Li and punched her once before jumping off his star and rushing her again.
Chun-Li recovered quickly enough and saw Matt approaching. “I don’t think so!” She shouted. “Spinning Bird Kick!”
“That’s not going to work, lady!” Matt taunted as he ducked underneath Chun-Li’s kicking legs and rushed over to her head, which was now close to the canvas considering that she was upside-down. One punch was all it took to bring Chun-Li out of her attack and send her to the canvas.
Knowing not to underestimate someone like Chun-Li, Matt cautiously approached. Chun-Li sprung to life and leapt to her feet again, preparing to take the white hedgehog on again in full force.
“Looks like I need to stop pulling punches.” Chun-Li said to herself. “That move of his allows him to create anything he wants.”
Chun-Li quickly leapt at Matt and kicked the air rapidly. Matt couldn’t evade the attack in time and took the majority of the blows to the face before managing to raise his arms and block the rest of the attacks.
However, the last kick at the enf of Chun-Li’s attack was enough to send Matt recoiling a few feet, screeching to a halt on his feet before coming to a complete stop.
“You’re going to need to do more than that to take me out, lady.” Matt said with a smirk.
“That may be so, but the fight is already over.” Chun-Li replied.
“How so?” Matt asked.
Chun-Li rushed towards a turnbuckle and kicked the top rope, snapping it. Matt was up against the ropes at the time, so when the top rope fell back from behind him, he was expecting that and toppled over the ropes and into the portal.
Matt landed in Kirby’s Air Ride. Using his Warp Star, he managed to beat almost everyone in the node.

“Forward, men! No one lives forever!”
“DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Oh, sugar! Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot! Ohh, honey, honey! Doot, doot, doot doot, doot, doot!”
Baraka held up his hands as the Rabbid’s plunger bounced off his arm. The insane Takartan looked towards his female counterpart. “These guys are fast, Mileena!” He said.
“But only one of them seems to have his head on straight!” Mileena reminded.
“Yeah, but he’s naturally insane to begin with!” Baraka pointed out as he jerked his thumb at the Rabbid.
As much as the three Mortal Kombat characters didn’t want to admit it, they were losing the fight, and pretty badly. The Servbot was proving too fast for Reptile, Baraka was constantly trying to ward off attacks from the Rabbid and nothing Mileena dished out could penetrate Gadget Z’s barrel body.
“Hold still, small fry!” Reptile shouted as he spat acid at the Servbot.
“You cowardly fool!” The Servbot shouted back as he jumped backwards to avoid the green spit. “Resorting to using projectiles to defeat an opponent smaller than you!” Narrowing his eyes, the Servbot reached into his pocket. “Very well. I know when to fight fire with fire.”
The Servbot ripped something from his pocket, revealing to Reptile that it was a potato peeler. Letting out a battle cry, the Servbot jumped on Reptile’s shoulders and started trying to scratch him.
Unfortunately, it did next to nothing. Reptile grabbed the Servbot and pitched him into the wall. The yellow machine fell flat on his back before jumping back to his feet again.
“I’d like to see you try that again, punk!” The Servbot warned.
Reptile smirked. “Let’s see if you can find me.” He said as he vanished in a cloud of green smoke.
“Vanishing into thin air.” The Servbot muttered. “I freaking hate these guys.”
Tossing the potato peeler to himself, the Servbot threw it ahead, luckily striking Reptile and making him visible again. The Servbot smirked and rushed forward.
Baraka swung one of his arm blades, but the Rabbid jumped over the attack and smashed the plunger he was holding into the side of Baraka’s head. Now with a plunger stuck to his left ear, Baraka staggered to the side before ripping the plunger from his head.
“What kind of attack was that?!” Baraka asked before smirking. “I guess it doesn’t matter now that you’re unarmed.
Baraka rushed the Rabbid and rapidly slashed his arm blades. The Rabbid saw the attack coming and swerved to the side, allowing the sharp-toothed maniac to pass by. As soon as Baraka passed, the Rabbid pulled a rubber chicken from behind his back and screamed psychotically as he jumped at Baraka.
“Why aren’t my sai going through that body of his?!” Mileena roared to herself as she continued to slash at Gadget Z, but with little to no effect. The barrel-shaped robot simply looked at Mileena with a blank stare.
“The clouds…They want to file a lawsuit against me…” Gadget Z said as he swung his bolt-shaped hammer and struck Mileena in the knee.
The Takartan woman roared in pain and collapsed to one knee. “That hurt, you little freak!” She said.
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…” Gadget Z noted.
“You’re not even making any sense! What’s wrong with you?!” Mileena asked.
“I’ll be your lightning rod of hate!” The barrel robot said as he smashed his hammer into Mileena’s head, knocking her out.
The Servbot got off Reptile’s unconscious body and saw Gadget Z finishing his fight. The two looked and saw the Rabbid continuously beating on the unconscious Baraka with a rubber chicken. The two robots looked at each other.
“I’m just glad he’s on our side.” The Servbot said.
“You crack me up, little buddy.”
(The Arena)
Solid Snake staggered backwards a few feet as J. Talbain kicked him in the face. The mercenary quickly recovered in time to see the wolfman’s furry foot coming at his face. Snake acted quickly and grabbed J. Talbain’s furry leg, throwing the wolfman over his shoulder. J. Talbain landed on his back, but quickly rolled backwards into a standing position.
“Hmm…I can tell that you’re not unfamiliar to fighting.” J. Talbain noted.
“You might say that.” Snake replied, not taking his eyes off the wolfman.
The two started circling each other, preparing to strike and preparing to defend at the same time. Several plans of attack went through the heads of both fighters before Snake made the first move, lunging at J. Talbain and rolling forward, barreling into the wolfman with full force.
J. Talbain once again landed on his back, but managed to get to his feet again. He saw that Snake was close to him, so the wolfman quickly slashed his claws. Snake wasn’t expecting this and received a few slashes to the torso.
“You really ARE a beast, aren’t you?” Snake asked. “Those were real claws.”
“I am a werewolf, you fool.” J. Talbain replied flatly. “I am a human that becomes a wolf.”
“I know what a werewolf is. I just didn’t know they existed.” Snake replied as he pulled a grenade from his pocket. “That makes things a little more interesting.”
Pulling the pin from the grenade, Snake hurled it at J. Talbain, but the werewolf swiftly avoided the explosive and darted over to Snake, giving him a hard blow to the head. The grenade exploded harmlessly as Snake staggered back, holding his chin.
“Okay. Looks like I’ll have to resort to drastic measures.” The mercenary said as he pulled out a missile launcher and aimed it at J. Talbain, whom was standing two feet away from him.
“You’re crazy. You’ll kill us both.” J. Talbain said calmly, thinking Snake was bluffing.
“I’ve survived much worse.” Snake replied with a smirk. “You think YOU’LL be able to survive it?”
Talbain stood in silence for a couple of seconds before turning and running. Snake smirked, stood upright, put the missile launcher away and pulled out a remote detonator. “Fish in a barrel.” The mercenary chuckled as he jammed the button on the detonator, making a plastic explosive he had secretly planted on J. Talbain’s back earlier explode. The explosion sent J. Talbain up and over the ropes, out of the ring.
J. Talbain landed in Mario Strikers Charged. The two teams were freaked out at his appearance and ran away, some of them even running into the electric fence.
Snake looked around for another fight after eliminating J. Talbain. He saw Nakoruru throwing Terry Bogard out of the ring (and into the middle of a wrestling ring in Final Fight), so the mercenary made his way over to her.
Heavy D! ducked under the Karayan sword of Beecham and shoved his fist into the swordsman’s stomach. Beecham stepped backwards a couple of steps, but recovered quickly and gave Heavy D! a kick to the face, knocking the boxer onto his back.
“Not bad for an old man, eh?” Beecham chuckled.
Heavy D! wiped blood from his mouth as he got to his feet. “You’re good with a sword.” He commented.
“I have the most fighting experience in Karaya.” Beecham explained. “I’m not Chief Lucia’s personal bodyguard for no reason, you know.”
Heavy D! put up his fists and narrowed his eyes. “Well, this could be fun.” He said as he dashed at Beecham and pulled his hand into the air. “Soul Flower!”
Heavy D! slammed his hand into the ground, causing a small explosion of energy to erupt at his feet. However, Beecham saw the attack coming and blocked it with his sword. Waiting for Heavy D!’s attack to die down, Beecham lashed out with his sword. The black boxer saw the swing coming at him and jumped to the side, then followed with a Rolling Soul Driver to the older man’s face.
Holding his chin, Beecham shook his head a couple of times to regain his senses. “Looks like I need to up the ante if I want to take this guy out.” He said to himself as he rushed at Heavy D! and swung his sword downwards.
The dark-skinned boxer was ready for this and lashed out his fist, sending several streaks of energy out and striking Beecham’s sword, cancelling the attack and making the Karayan swordsman stagger to the side to keep a grip on his sword.
“Time for me to end this!” Heavy D! shouted as he rushed forward and pulled his fist back. “D! MAGNUM!!!” He roared as he lashed his fist out, creating a rocketing explosion, much to the approval of the crowd.
However, when the smoke cleared, Heavy D!’s eyes widened when he saw Beecham standing his ground, holding his sword out, which had managed to block the boxer’s devastating attack.
“Unbelievable.” Heavy D! said, shaking his head in amazement. “That was the attack that I used to finish off Bison last year and he’s still standing after it.”
Beecham was still exhausted, showing that the attack had still taken a lot out of him. “I can…Still win…” He said as he took a staggering step towards Heavy D!.
Said black boxer shook his head. “I need to get him out of here. That attack drained his energy.” He said as he pushed Beecham backwards, sending the swordsman over the ropes.
Beecham landed in Animal Crossing, passing out completely. A rhino resident of the town looked at Beecham’s unmoving body, thought he was dead and started digging a grave.
“That guy was tough.” Heavy D! said. “He could have beaten me if I didn’t do that move.”
“Then you’re starting to slip, D!-san.”
Heavy D! turned to see Ryoko walking over to him. He saw Jurgen falling past the ropes in the background, falling out of the ring (and into Castlvania, where he started teaching zombies how to dance).
“You just eliminated that gothic-emo vampire?” Heavy D! asked.
“He tried to convert me.” Ryoko shrugged.
Mario tossed a fireball at Sonic, but the blue hedgehog easily ran to the side and avoided the ball of embers. Sonic quickly rushed at Mario and did a front flip, kicking the red-clad plumber in the chin. Mario was sent flying into the air for a second, but landed on his feet and attacked his rival with his Coinbox Jump.
“I can see that you haven’t lost anything, Mario.” Sonic chuckled. “Good to see that you’re still on the top of your game.”
“Well, when you a-fight in these a-tournaments all of a-the time, you a-need to be prepared.” Mario noted. “I’m always a-training for a-these things.”
“Heh. It’s good for us to finally have an official fight with me being in Brawl.” Sonic pointed out as he ran at Mario and ducked into a ball, tripping his rival. “The Olympic games were a start, but it just wasn’t the same.”
“It IS a-long overdue.” Mario nodded as he gave Sonic two punches followed by a hard kick. “Hopefully, we’ll a-get another chance when the a-next game is announced.”
“Looks like we’ll have to wait another half-decade, then.” Sonic replied with a smirk. “We’d better make the most of it.”
Ducking into a ball, Sonic spun in place for a second before launching himself at Mario. The red-clad plumber saw the attack coming and whipped out his FLUDD, sending a jet of water into Sonic and forcing him backwards long enough for the hedgehog’s attack to end.
“Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.” Sonic said as he rushed at Mario on foot and performed a flying kick, managing to catch his rival in the face. Mario stepped backwards and looked ahead in time to see Sonic charging him again. Whipping out his yellow cape, Mario lashed it out, spinning Sonic around and causing him to run in the wrong direction for a second before the hedgehog screeched to a halt.
“Let’s face it, Mario. We’re pretty evenly matched.” Sonic shrugged.
“I a-suppose so.” Mario nodded.
Sonic grinned and pulled out a Smash Ball. “What say we finish the fight here and now?” He asked. “That is unless you’ve already used your Final Smash.”
“Nope. I’ve a-got it right a-here.” Mario replied, pulling out his own Smash Ball.
“Okay. On the count of three, we’ll each activate out Final Smashes and see which one lands first.” Sonic explained as he broke his Smash Ball.
“Works for a-me!” Mario said as he crushed his own Smash Ball.
Now giving off a golden hue, both Mario and Sonic circled each other for a few seconds. “One…Two…THREE!!!” They shouted as one as they activated their respective Final Smashes. Mario pulled his hands back and started to gather energy as Sonic summoned the Chaos Emeralds and became Super Sonic.
As Mario sent out his double-pillar of spiraling fire, Sonic flew headfirst into the attack. The Mario Finale was slowing Super Sonic down and starting to weaken him, but Sonic pressed on, getting closer to his rival.
After a good several seconds of pushing against each other, Sonic launched forward and struck Mario with the last of his energy before his Final Smash wore off. However, Sonic got caught in the tail end of the Mario Finale and was pelted with immense amount of flaming energy.
The audience watched in awe as the sheer force from both Final Smashes sent both Mario and Sonic flying out of the ring in opposite directions. The crowd, although disappointed at the loss of the two gaming giants, erupted in cheers for the spectacular performance.
Mario and Sonic landed on a roof in Jet Grind Radio. Too tired to do anything, both heroes fell asleep.
King Lion blocked with both arms as Wolf drove his foot into his stomach. The Canadian wrestler quickly jumped at King Lion after failing his first attack and wrapped his arm around the villain’s neck in a chokehold.
“Grr…Let go!” King Lion shouted.
“Make me!” Wolf snapped back.
“Fine by me!” With that, King Lion thrust his head backwards and struck Wolf in the face, making the redhead let go of him. Once he was released, King Lion got into a standing position and got into a boxing stance.
“Why are you so hard to knock out?” Wolf asked. “You’re from Kizuna Encounter. It should be easy to eliminate you.”
“I have added experience from Neo Geo Battle Coliseum.” King Lion explained.
“Serves me right for never playing the game.” Wolf muttered as he rushed King Lion again, kicking him in the face. King Lion staggered back as Wolf rushed forward, thrusting his fists out several times. King Lion whipped out his sword and held it in front of him, causing the blade to absorb the brunt of Wolf’s attacks.
Eventually, Wolf stopped punching. Once he did, King Lion shoved his free hand into the wrestler’s face. This made Wolf back away, providing King Lion with a much-needed opening. The large boxer rushed Wolf, but the redhead saw him coming and grabbed King Lion by the leg when the boxer got close. Spinning in place, Wolf tossed King Lion over his shoulder and caused him to land flat on his back.
King Lion slowly got to his feet, showing Wolf that he was weakening. Smirking to himself, the wrestler charged ahead.
However, as Wolf was running at him, King Lion gave a dark smirk. “Perfect. He fell for it.” He said to himself.
As Wolf got close enough, King Lion swerved to the side and allowed the wrestler to pass. King Lion quickly took advantage of the opportunity and shoved the wrestler over the ropes and out of the ring.
Wolf landed on top of one of the ships in R-Type and was taken for one wild ride.
Back in the ring, King Lion became suddenly aware that he had actually managed to score an elimination. To say he felt great was an understatement. Now feeling ready to continue the fight, King Lion turned to find another fight. Heavy D! and Ryoko looked like they were trying to avoid a fight, as they were standing aside. Solid Snake was currently in a fight with Nakoruru, and was beginning to resort to explosives to finish the fight. Metaknight was cautiously scanning the ring for Leon Powalski, whom had once again become invisible. Chun-Li took the time to adjust the bracelets on her wrists as Sodom spun a sai in his hand. Luigi nervously scanned the ring, trying to see if there was anyone in the ring that wouldn’t be able to take his life.
King Lion glanced up to the entrance curtain, where he knew that the next wave of fighters was getting ready to enter the ring.
