Dee Jay ducked a swing from Joe Higashi and kicked the half-naked man in the stomach. As Joe staggered back, Dee Jay lashed out his fist, sending an orange energy projectile at the Thai fighter.
The Jamaican man narrowed his eyes as Joe avoided the projectile. After Lilly Pedragon had entered the ring and started the fight with Lilly Kane, Dee Jay had gone off to try and talk to Billy. However, Joe had jumped in and started a fight before the Jamaican had even known it.
“Look, mon. I don’t wanna keep this fight going.” Dee Jay pointed out.
“But I do!” Joe replied as he lunged forward in an attempt to kick Dee Jay in the face.
“I have more important matters to talk to someone else with.” Dee Jay stated. “I don’t have time for this!”
“Too bad, Mr. Rhythm.” Joe replied with a smirk as he sent a tornado at Dee Jay.
“You’re bringing this upon yourself, mon.” Dee Jay said as he stepped around the twister.
Needless to say, things were getting pretty interesting in Rimururu’s fight with Demyx. Waves of water created by the sitar-playing Nobody were quickly frozen by the ice maiden, creating frozen obstacles everywhere in the ring.
“You fight pretty well for someone that apparently doesn’t like to fight at all.” Rimururu noted. “What gives?”
“Hey, I don’t like to fight when I’m given a mission and a whole bunch of objectives that need to get done.” Demyx shrugged. “When in a tournament like this where everything’s just for fun, I love to let loose a little because I’m not on a timeline.” Demyx sent another wave of water at Rimururu.
The ice maiden quickly froze the wave. “So you’re not following any orders?” She asked.
“Nope.” Demyx shook his head. “Neither was Xigbar back in the first tournament. We both entered just for the fun of it.”
“But what’s the fun in fighting me?” Rimururu asked with a smirk. “Look around you. Whatever attack you dish out, I can freeze it.”
Demyx smirked. “I beg to differ.” He said as he swung his sitar like a club and clocked the ice maiden in the side of the head.
Gado, still in his lion form, jumped over Tigerman and delivered a hard kick to the back of the TFSer’s head. The tiger-like creature stepped forward and spun in place, slashing with his claws. Gado jumped backwards, but his shirt received a good number of tears in the process.
However, Gado quickly recovered from this and lashed out with his own claws. Tigerman held up his hands and used his own claws to block those of Gado.
“You’re pretty fast in your lion form.” Tigerman said with a smirk as Gado reverted to his human form again. “Too bad that you’re not as skilled in your human form.”
“I’ll have you know that I AM just as fast and powerful in this form.” Gado told Tigerman as he shoved his fist into the TFSer’s chest, sending him recoiling backwards a few feet and surprising Tigerman.
“Hmm…Impressive.” Tigerman said with a smirk. “Maybe I won’t be let down, after all.”
“GET THIS CRAZY WOMAN AWAY FROM ME!!!” Bowser screamed as he ran past Tigerman and Gato.
“Come on, you hunky Koopa, you!” Felicia said as she chased the Koopa King down. “Just one ride in the Clown Copter! I can prove to you that I can be a much better captive than Peach!”
(Announcer’s Booth)
“I never would have thought that Felicia was such a big fan of Bowser.” Unknown1 scratched his head. “I wonder what she sees in him.”
“Probably the hair.” SSBFreak shrugged. “It’s gotta be the hair.”
Tinyrocket didn’t seem to be paying attention. He was too busy talking on the phone. “Is he here, yet?” He asked. “He just arrived? Great. Send him into the Ready Room so he can enter the ring in the next section.”
Unknown1 looked at Tinyrocket. “What’s with him?” He asked.
SSBFreak shrugged.
(Dome; Hallway)
Kid USA and Maiagaru helped Mickey McFist to his feet. The Irishman was now sporting a very unsightly slap mark on the side of his face.
Kid USA shook his head. “Mickey, why do you have to hit on every woman you see?” He asked.
“One of them might actually like me, lad.” Mickey replied hopefully as he rubbed his face. “That one didn’t seem so bad.”
“Dude, that was Mai Shiranui.” Kid USA pointed out. “She’s already head-over-heels for that younger Bogard brother.”
“NOW ye tell me.” Mickey sighed. “Ye could’ve told me that BEFORE I asked her on a date, lad.”
“He did, McFist.” Maiagaru replied, eyes narrowed. “You did not listen.”
Rather than help get Mickey back on his feet, Cream was looking down the hallway. She had suddenly heard footsteps and was wondering what whom was coming.
“When I get my hands on Bison, I’m gonna-” J. Maxx seethed.
Kasumi Todoh looked ahead as J. Maxx was ranting and suddenly saw Cream. “J. Maxx, you may not want to finish that thought.” She said. “There’s a child in hearing range.”
“Huh?” J. Maxx asked as he looked ahead and saw Cream. “Oh. Sorry.”
Kid USA looked and saw Kasumi and J. Maxx coming. He recognized Kasumi. “Hey! You’re last year’s winner!” He said.
“Uh…Yeah. That’s me.” Kasumi nodded.
Mickey was instantly in her face. “I seem ta have lost meh number. Can I borrow yours?” He asked hopefully.
Kasumi promptly slapped Mickey across the face, sending the Irishman to the floor.
“If you’ll excuse us, we have a date with Bison.” J. Maxx said as he started walking past the small group.
“Bison?” Kid USA asked. “What business do you have with that creep?”
“If you must know, we’re going to beat the tar out of him.” J. Maxx replied. “He’s up to something and it’s definitely not going to be good.”
“Hey! Maybe we can help!” Kid USA said.
“What for?” Kasumi asked.
“This hard-headed man was almost killed back at the arcade.” Maiagaru sighed in hopelessness. “The culprit was one of the villains from the Mortal Kombat node.”
“Mileena, if I’m right.” Kid USA said.
“Mileena?” Kasumi asked before turning to J. Maxx. “You think Bison may have joined forces with Shao Khan?”
“I wouldn’t be surprised.” J. Maxx sighed. “Great. If Bison has this much firepower, I don’t know if we’ll be able to rush him alone.”
“I guess we’ll just have to find more help, then.” Kid USA suggested.
“That’s probably the best choice.” Kasumi pointed out to J. Maxx.
“Yeah. I suppose you’re right.” J. Maxx nodded.
(The Arena)
Lilly Pendragon rushed Lilly Kane and attempted to run her through with her sword. However, Lilly Kane easily swerved to the side and avoided the blow and smashed her staff against the aristocrat’s face, making Lilly Pendragon even madder.
“Why won’t you listen to me, you brat?!” Lilly P. screamed at Lilly K. “I’ve ordered you to do many things since we’ve started, but you won’t do any of them!”
“And what makes you think I would listen to someone as conceited as you, anyway?” Lilly K. asked as she readied herself.
“EXCUSE me?! Do you have any idea whom I am?!” Lilly P. shouted as she swung her sword upwards. “I am Lilly Pendragon!”
“Yeah? So?” Lilly K. asked as she blocked the blow with her staff.
“It should be an honor to obey me!” Lilly P. shouted. “If you can get it through that thick head of yours, then maybe you’d actually realize that!”
“How can Reed and Samus put up with this girl?” Lilly K. muttered under her breath as her face started twitching.
“I’m talking to you, you brat!” Lilly P. shouted.
“JUST SHUT UP!!!” Lilly K. screamed as she jumped into the air and pulled her staff above her head, multiplying it several times. When Lilly K. was holding about ten staffs, she swung the entire bunch of them downwards, smashing them over Lilly P.’s head.
As Lilly P. was stunned, Lilly K. ended her massive attack, dropped her staff, ran over to the aristocrat and grabbed her by her jacket with both hands, lifting her off her feet and staring into her eyes.
“HOW CAN PEOPLE LIKE YOU EXIST, WITH YOU DEMANDING THAT EVERYONE DO WHATEVER YOU SAY?!?!” Lilly screamed in rage, something extremely out-of-character for her. “THE WORLD DOESN’T REVOLVE AROUND YOU, YOU SELF-ABSORBED BRAT!!!”
“Release me, you peasant!” Lilly P. ordered.
“DON’T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT!!! MY BROTHER AND I LIVED ON NEXT-TO-NOTHING FOR MOST OF OUR LIVES!!!” Lilly K. continued the verbal assault. “THE ONLY WAY WE COULD EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO GET BY WAS AFTER BILLY STARTED WORKING FOR A CRIME BOSS!!! A CRIME BOSS!!!”
Billy Kane stopped his fight with Yashiro for a moment when his sister started screaming and stared at his sister, wondering how long she had been keeping that rage of hers bottled up. Yashiro saw his opening and shoved his fist out, but Billy easily blocked the attack without looking.
“JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!!” Lilly K. screamed. “IT SICKENS ME JUST TO LOOK AT YOU!!!”
With that, Lilly K. hurled Lilly P. out of the ring. After she was gone, Lilly K. took several deep and hard breaths before calming herself down and picking up her staff.
Lilly Pendragon landed in NFL Blitz. The entire football team stampeded over her downed form.
Although surprised at Lilly’s sudden outburst, everyone went back to the fighting they were doing.
Well, almost anyone. Bowser had pressed himself against a turnbuckle and nervously sweated as Felicia approached him.
“You don’t have anywhere to run now, you big hunk!” Felicia said. “Now are you going to accept me?”
“Over Peach?! No freaking way!” Bowser replied as he ran forward and charged past Felicia. He didn’t get scared easily, but this catgirl was REALLY freaking him out.
“Oh, he’s just playing hard to get.” Felicia said with a smirk as she resumed chase again.
Bowser ran towards the fight between Rimururu and Demyx. “Help me! Help me!” He pleaded. “Get this crazy woman off my back!”
Rimururu looked at Bowser, then at the oncoming Felicia. “I thought that you would have liked to have a woman swooning over you.” She remarked.
“The only woman that I’d enjoy doing that over me is Peach!” Bowser insisted. “This girl’s completely nuts!”
“It’s not that hard to take care of, though.” Rimururu said as he grabbed the passing Felicia by the tail and threw her out of the ring. “See? It’s dead easy.”
Bowser stood in silence for a couple of seconds, wondering why he didn’t think of that. He quickly slunk off.
Felicia landed in Looney Tunes, where Pepe Le Pew fell in love with her and started smothering her with smooches, much to Felicia’s disgust.
“Woo-hoo!” Sonic said as he slid underneath the legs of Gaira Caffeine as the huge monk swung his bead necklace down at him. The blue hedgehog then jumped upwards and kicked Gaira in the back, making the huge man stagger forward a couple of steps.
“He’s too fast.” Gaira said as he looked over his shoulder. “I can’t keep up with him.”
“Well, what did you expect?” Sonic, whom had just zoomed around the huge monk and had taken him by surprise, asked. “I’m the world’s fastest thing on two legs.”
Gaira jumped back in surprise, but quickly lashed out with his beads again.
“Okay, seriously.” Sonic said as he jumped up and soared through the middle of the ring of beads. “Who uses beads as weapons? I mean, I even think that fighting with basketballs would be more cool.”
(KOF Locker Room)
Lucky Glauber sneezed, falling onto his back.
“You okay, man?” Heavy D! asked as he helped his friend to his feet. “You picked a real lousy time to get a cold, Lucky.”
(The Arena)
Gaira swung again, but Sonic was too quick for him, performing a backflip in place and kicking the huge monk in the chin with both feet. As Gaira soared back, Sonic curled into a ball and started spinning.
The huge monk landed on the canvas and slowly got to his feet, but when he looked ahead, Sonic had already shot into his chest in a spinning ball of blue. The force from the attack launched Gaira out of the ring.
Gaira landed in Doom. We’ll leave it up to you to figure out what happened.
Landing on his feet, Sonic smirked and tightened his gloves before turning around to see Guile performing a Flash Kick, removing Kyo Kusanagi from the ring (and sending he KOF posterboy into the node of Timesplitters, where he set Captain Ash on fire).
“So what’s up, soldier dude?” Sonic asked.
“Let’s see…Avenged Ken’s honor, then didn’t do a thing about it…Bison isn’t entering the ring for a while…” Guile scratched his head. “I guess I’m just trying to stay alive right at the moment.”
El Blaze, one of the two newest additions to the Virtua Fighter roster, ducked low to avoid a horizontal slice from one of Morrigan’s razor-sharp attacks. The green-haired bat-woman saw that her attack failed and tried to recover in time, but El Blaze had just landed a hard side kick to her torso, sending her sprawling.
“Why don’t-cha stay down this time, amigo? El Blaze asked. “It’s a lot easier that way.”
“You think that I’m going to listen to that?” Morrigan asked as she stood up. “Maybe that mask of yours is too tight.” She smirked as she approached. “Let me loosen it a little.”
El Blaze backed away in fear and held onto the top of his mask. “No! Stay away from it!” He said. “When a Luchadore removes his mask, he must never wear it again!”
“So if I remove it, you’ll have no choice but to cease fighting.” Morrigan concluded as she reached for El Blaze’s mask.
“I said get away!” El Blaze roared, partly in fear, as he swung his fist and clocked Morrigan in the side of the face, sending her to the canvas again.
“I need to get this woman out of the ring before she removes my mask.” El Blaze told himself as he grabbed Morrigan and pitched her over the ropes. However, while she was in the air, Morrigan spread her wings and started floating just outside the ring.
“You’ll have to do better than that.” Morrigan reminded with a smirk.
That’s when El Blaze literally threw one of the turnbuckles at her. How he had done it was anyone’s guess, but the main thing was that he had done it somehow. Unable to get away from underneath the turnbuckle, Morrigan plummeted into the elimination portal (and into the desert of Crusin’ World, where, even though it was in the middle of nowhere, someone instantly stopped to give her a lift).
(Announcer’s Booth)
The three announcers found themselves unable to come up with a response, and simply stared down at the ring, slack-jawed.
“How the heck was El Blaze able to get the turnbuckle detatched from the corner of the ring?” SSBFreak asked.
“I’M wondering how he was able to throw it like that. Those turnbuckles must weigh a good fifty pounds easy.” Unknown1 added.
“I saw it and I STILL don’t believe it.” Tinyrocket shook his head.
“We should probably do something about that.” SSBFreak pointed out. “We can’t really have an arena with only three turnbuckles, right?”
“The arena restoration will only work when the action dies down at the end of the Section.” Unknown1 reminded. “So until then, the fighters are stuck with three turnbuckles.”
(The Arena)
“Come on, man! I know you can fight better than this!” Joe Higashi taunted Dee Jay. “Start giving me a workout!”
“I’ve told you, mon!” Dee Jay replied. “I have more important matters to deal with right now!”
“That can wait! Now keep fighting!” Joe said as he kicked at Dee Jay.
“I’m afraid that it can’t wait any longer, mon.” Dee Jay sighed as he grabbed Joe’s foot and spun it, lifting the Thai fighter off his feet and spinning him in the air several times.
Joe landed on his behind, stunned and dazed. Dee Jay quickly picked him out and threw him out of the ring, eliminating him.
Dee Jay nodded as he turned to head over towards Billy Kane, whom, at the moment, was still fighting Yashiro.
Joe landed in Street Fighter, where Geki soundly defeated him,
(Hotel; Arcade)
Cador flew backwards and slammed into an arcade game. Slowly, the armour-clad TFS resident stood up and leveled his shoulder cannon at Reptile, whom simply beckoned Cador to approach.
“You’ll pay for that!” Cador shouted as he fired three shots from his shoulder cannon. Reptile was too quick and easily avoided the three projectiles before running forward and thrusting his fist out.
Cador held up his palm and caught Reptile’s fist. He struggled for a bit, but he managed to push Reptile off of him and punch him in the face.
Baraka lashed out at Wildfox, but the tall man held up his axe and parried the blows. Baraka continued the onslaught of attacks, but Wildfox held firm and searched wildly for an opening. Finding one, Wildfox pulled his axe back and shoved the end of the pole into Baraka’s stomach.
“Need a lift?” Wildfox asked as he lifted Baraka off the ground and threw him away.
“THAT WAS CORNYYYYYY!!!” Baraka screamed as he flew back-first into a gaming machine.
Seeing Baraka stunned, Wildfox ran at him, jumped and swung his axe down.
However, Barak saw the attack coming. Raising the blades coming out of his arms, Baraka stopped the axe from splitting him in half and forced Wildfox back, allowing himself to stand up.
“The longer we fight, the more I want to tear you to shreds.” Baraka informed with narrowed eyes.
“Good luck with that.” Wildfox said with a smirk. “To do that, you’ll have to get through me.”
“Gladly.” Baraka said as he leapt at Wildfox.
Cador ducked a swing from Reptile and gave the lizardman a kick to the stomach while he was down. As Reptile backed away, Cador jumped to his feet and fired another ball of energy from his shoulder cannon, sending it into Reptile’s face.
“Maybe now you think twice about trying to kill someone that can fight.” Cador said.
“You two were the ones to start the fight in the first place!” Reptile snapped.
“Meh. I don’t care that much for details.” Cador shrugged as he fired another shot at Reptile.
Wildfox swung his axe down, but Baraka rolled to the side, making Wildfox send his axe flying into the floor. Seeing Baraka avoid the attack, Wildfox pulled his axe from the floor and took another swing, this one horizontal. Baraka ducked under the attack and lunged at Wildfox, attempting to run him through.
However, Wildfox saw the attack coming and quickly moved his axe down to block the oncoming attack.
“How can you be so fast?!” Baraka asked. “You look like you should be slower!”
“I train myself regularly.” Wildfox replied. “I’ve learned how to move that fast on my own.”
Without giving Baraka time to react, Wildfox gave the mutant a hard kick to the head, sending Baraka sprawling.
At the same time, Cador was charging up his shoulder cannon and had just avoided another swing from Reptile. With his cannon fully-charged, Cador let loose and sent a huge ball of energy into Reptile’s torso, sending the lizardman flying back, landing on Baraka.
While he was down, Baraka looked ahead and saw the doorway leading back into the hotel. Shoving Reptile off of him, Baraka jumped to his feet. “Let’s make ourselves scarce for now, Reptile.” He instructed.
“Yeah.” Reptile nodded. “Let’s get out of here.”
With that, Baraka and Reptile fled the scene, leaving Wildfox and Cador alone.
“Man! That felt SO good!” Cador laughed. “Man, if that was a fight outside of the ring, it makes me wish I was in the tournament!”
“You and me both, Cador.” Wildfox nodded before pausing. “Uh…What did we come in here for in the first place?”
Cador scratched his head. “I dunno. I can’t remember.”
The two looked at each other, shrugged and left the arcade to head back to the crowd.
(Eliminated Seating)
The Koopinator poked his head into the Eliminated Seating and crept in. Knowing that the Eliminated Seating was limited to people that were already out of the tournament, the Koopinator wanted to make sure that he didn’t get spotted by security.
“I need to find some people that may be able to help us on this mission.” The Koopinator told himself. “And I need to hurry.”
Spotting Rawk Hawk sitting down, the Koopinator walked over. “Hawk, I require assistance.” The armour-clad koopa told the giant bird.
Rawk Hawk looked down at the Koopinator and lifted an eyebrow. “What’re you doing here, Koopinator?” He asked. “You haven’t entered the ring yet. Heck, you enter pretty soon, if I’m right.”
“Indeed. That’s why I need to hurry.” The Koopinator explained. “Something evil is brewing and I am trying to stop it, but I require more help.”
“So you looked at me and knew that you needed my help to pull it off?” Rawk Hawk asked with a smirk as he stood up. “Heh. Took you long enough.”
“What can I say? I am extremely desperate.” The Koopinator replied making Rawk Hawk’s smirk vanish. “Now come on. When I enter the ring, I need you to stand outside the door to the Recovery Room until I get eliminated.”
With that, Rawk Hawk followed the Koopinator out of the Eliminated Seating, although a few of the other fighters saw them go and decided to follow them as well. In the end, Ky Kiske, Blue Mary, Ally Gator and Tiny Tiger followed the mismatched duo out of the Eliminated Seating.
(The Arena)
Rimururu swung her dagger at Demyx, catching the music-playing Nobody by surprise and leaving a rip in his cloak. Demyx was quick to retaliate however, in smashing his sitar into the ice maiden’s side.
The ice girl staggered to the side, but recovered long enough to see Demyx’s sitar coming at her again. Rimururu threw herself to the floor to avoid the attack, then shoved her foot into Demyx’s stomach while she was down.
Demyx stepped back a couple of steps and narrowed his eyes, holding his sitar. “Okay! I’d like to see you try that one again!” He challenged.
Rimururu responded with a kick to Demyx’s sitar, sending it flying into the Nobody’s forehead.
“Good enough for you?” Rimururu asked.
“Quite. You can stop, now.” Demyx replied as he shook his head a couple of times.
“It’s time for me to press the attack, now!” Rimururu said as she waved her hand, sending a wave of cold air at Demyx.
Demyx used his sitar to block the attack. “Is that the best you’ve got?” He taunted.
“Nope. That was just a distraction.” Rimururu said with a smirk as she thrust both of her hands down.
Demyx found himself looking up and his eyes bugged out as he saw an ice meteor falling towards him. Demyx jumped back to avoid the meteor as it slammed into the canvas.
The sitar-wielding Nobody found himself glaring at Rimururu. “Okay! I didn’t want to do this so early, but you leave me no choice!” He said.
With that, Demyx started wildly playing his sitar. Rimuruu looked down and saw a small geyser of water starting to form in front of her.
Rimururu rolled her eyes and easily froze the geyser. “Please. You’ve tried that before.” She said. “Is that really your last-ditch attack?”
Demyx smirked and pointed down. “Nope. That was just a distraction.” He replied casually, purposefully mimicking Rimururu.
Rimururu looked at her feet and saw that there was a huge geyser of water forming underneath her feet. Before she had time to do anything about it, the geyser erupted, forming a gigantic tower of water, which promptly sent Rimururu rocketing over the ropes and out of the ring.
Rimururu landed on top of Scooby Doo in the great dane’s home node. Unfortunately, it was just as Scooby, Shaggy and Velma were in the middle of fleeing in terror from a ghost, so Rimururu was taken on a ride she would never forget.
Demyx spun his sitar in his hand for a second, but stopped as he watched J. Carn fly past him and fall out of the ring (and into Wii Sports, where a Mii that looked remarkably similar to Luke Skywalker beat him down in a boxing match).
Wondering what had happened, Demyx turned and saw Gutsman cracking his knuckles. “What was that for?” He asked.
“Hey, that creep hit on Roll.” Gutsman replied. “I don’t care who you are or where you come from. That just ain’t right.”
Guile found himself in a heated battle with Ralf Jones, literally. Ralf’s punches felt like they were on fire, quickly bringing Guile’s stamina down.
“How can your punches be so hard?” Guile asked. “It’s almost like your fists are on fire.”
“That’s nothing, pops.” Ralf smirked as he stepped back. “Wait to you see my GALACTICA PHANTOM!!”
Guile quickly held his arms up to attempt a block as Ralf sent his fist flying into them. The sheer force from Ralf’s signature super move sent Guile recoiling back several feet, sliding on his feet the entire way. In fact, the only way Guile was able to stop was when he flew back-first into one of the three remaining turnbuckles.
“Okay. I need to rethink my strategy here.” Guile said. “How am I going to beat this guy?”
Sonic suddenly appeared beside him. “What’re you up to now, dude?”
Guile looked down at Sonic, then over at Ralf, then back at Sonic again. Gears turneding the American’s head for a couple of seconds before a smirk floated across his face.
“Uh…What’s so funny, man?” Sonic asked.
Guile jumped to his feet and grabbed Sonic by the head.
“SONIC BOOM!!” Guile roared as he threw the blue hedgehog at Ralf.
“I did NOT agree to this, dude!!” Sonic shouted at Guile as he flew headfirst into Ralf’s stomach.
“What the heck?” Ralf asked as he fell onto his back and got up. “What was that about?”
Realizing that Ralf would go after him, Sonic ran around Ralf and gave him a swift kick to the behind, booting Ralf out of the ring.
Ralf landed in Super Smash Bros. Melee, where he took his aggressions out on Sandbag.
Akuma the Hedgehog jumped back as Zappa lunged backwards, the demon possessing him biting at Akuma from Zappa’s back.
“Let’s see you chew on this for a while!” Akuma taunted as he lashed out his palm, throwing a fireball into Zappa’s back where the evil face was.
Zappa leaned backwards until he was staring at Akuma upside-down. “You think that’s going to stop me?” He asked. “Let me show you something I can do.”
With that, Zappa got back into a standing position and the evil face on his back spat a fireball of its own at Akuma.
Akuma’s eyes widened when he saw the attack coming, but quickly held up his hands and parried the attack. Once the attack had been successfully blocked, Akuma rushed forward and gave Zappa a kick to the back of the head.
However, this did little more than make Zappa laugh. “Your attacks have no affect on me, you fool.” He taunted. “Face it. I have you outpowered.”
“Outpower ME? I think not.” Akuma replied as he pulled his hands back.
“Another fireball?” Zappa laughed. “Fine. I’ll play along.”
“Shinkuu…”
“Wait. What?”
“HADOUKEN!!!” Akuma roared as he lashed out both hands, firing a beam of energy at Zappa. The possessed man took the attack to the back (right where the demon face was) and flew forwards. Akuma ran after him.
Just as it looked like Zappa was going to land on the canvas, Akuma jumped up after him and started a spinning flurry of kicks, delivering several hard blows to Zappa’s chest and head. When Akuma delivered the final blow, Zappa was sent flying out of the ring.
Zappa landed in Zombies Ate My Neighbors. He fit right in.
Tron Bonne swung one of the fists of her green mech at Bowser, but the Koopa King easily blocked the attack simply by catching it with his hands. Bowser used his brute force to push the mech’s arm back, making Tron step back a couple of feet, the black-haired mechanical genius losing her footing for a couple of seconds.
“Hmm…Interesting.” Tron said, rubbing her chin. “My punches won’t work on you if you’re ready for them.” In spite of this, she smirked. “However, I’m sure you’ll wear yourself down soon enough. Let’s face it. You can’t throw me from the ring.”
This time it was Bowser to remain silent. He had tried to pick up Tron’s mech a while ago, but even though he was incredibly strong, Tron’s machine was just too heavy for him to lift.
“Let’s see…How do I remove a three-ton mech from the arena when I can’t lift it…” Bowser mused. “Hmm…Take the average percent rating of the mech weight, multiply it by the weight of the driver…Divide by nineteen…”
Tron, seeing Bowser attempting to solve an incredibly complex math problem in his head, lunged forward with her mech delivering a hard punch.
Bowser walked forward, unknowingly avoiding the attack. “…Take the multiple of the two charges…Subtract it by the multiple of the other two charges…Carry the nine…” He continued. “…Multiply it by thirty percent…Divide by two…Add the weight of the weaponry…Carry the seven…”
Tron pulled a few switches in the body of her mech and raised the two giant hands of the mech above Bowser’s head.
“…Multiply the total by the density percent of the arena canvas…Divide the whole thing by the average…And…Uh…Um…” Bowser said as he tried to finish the problem. “…Oh, what the heck.”
Bowser spun in place and thrust his head forward, connecting it with the body of Tron’s mech. The sheer force from Bowser’s severe headbutt sent Tron and her green mech tumbling out of the ring.
Tron landed in Chrono Trigger, where she and Lucca got into an argument about robots.
“Heh. When math doesn’t cut it, just do a headbutt.” Bowser nodded in satisfaction. “That takes care of that.”
As Bowser turned, he saw El Blaze kicking Alvan out of the ring (sending the prince of Galaxy Fight into the node of Warriors Orochi, where he fell to the hundreds of soldiers that rushed him). Deciding to ignore it, Bowser lumbered off to start a fight elsewhere.
Gado, once again in his lion form, lashed out with razor-sharp claws, but Tigerman jumped back, making Gado drive his claws into the canvas.
“Hmm…Pretty powerful swing.” Tigerman noted when he saw how deep into the canvas Gado had sent his claws. “Too bad you’re stuck, now.”
Gado quickly de-transformed back into his human state, freeing his fingernails from the canvas. “You were saying?” He asked.
“Aw, fudge.”
Gado jumped at Tigerman and gave the catlike creature a hard kick to the chin. Tigerman stepped back, holding his jaw, all the while keeping an eye on Gado.
“Man. You’re strong.” Tigerman said. “I REALLY felt that one.”
Quickly regaining his composure, Tigerman leapt at Gado and slashed with his claws. Gado held up his arm and blocked the blow, surprisingly without feeling any pain.
“How…How did you not get cut from that?” Tigerman asked as he stepped back. “You blocked my claws with an almost-bare arm and you didn’t get a scratch!”
“There’s a reason I’m the strongest in my node, kid.” Gado said with a smirk. “Remember that from now on.”
“This is going to be harder than I thought.” Tigerman muttered to himself. “How the heck am I supposed to get rid of this guy?”
Gado rushed Tigerman and landed a hard kick to his face. Tigerman staggered back, but only just managed to regain his footing when Gado leapt onto him and pinned him to the canvas.
While downed, Tigerman received several sharp blows to the face. However, he eventually found an opening and pushed Gado off of him.
After getting pushed off, Gado rushed Tigerman again. Tigerman was ready for this attack and stepped to the side, delivering a hard blow to the passing man’s back. Gado stumbled forward, and because this was the corner missing the turnbuckle and ropes, there was nothing stopping Gado from stumbling off the arena canvas and falling into a portal.
Gado landed in Rage of the Dragons, where he and Elias sparred and came out evenly matched.
(Dome; Vending Machines)
“Get away from me, you maniac!” Gadget Z shouted as he rolled to the side. Right after he did, the Servbot swung his crowbar down, smashing it against the floor.
“Hold still, you!” The Servbot roared. “If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a moving target!”
The Servbot swung again, only to have Gadget Z block it with his bolt-shaped hammer.
“What makes you think I’d actually listen to you?!” Gadget Z asked. “You trying to kill me, here!”
“Don’t you dare bother me with details, boy!” The Servbot snapped. “Just do me a favour and die!”
The Servbot lunged at Gadget Z again and swung his crowbar again. The barrel-shaped robot lowered his head to avoid the attack, then swung with his hammer, connecting it with the small robot’s face. The Servbot flew backwards and crashed into one of the vending machines.
“Okay! You’re really asking for it now, bucko!” The Servbot shouted.
The Servbot rushed Gadget Z and swung his crowbar, which Gadget Z blocked with his hammer. The two locked weapons several times, neither of them coming out the victor of the duel. Gadget Z managed to gain the upper hand, pushing on his hammer and forcing the Servbot away. The barrel-shaped robot swung his hammer down, but the Servbot jumped backwards as the bolt-shaped hammer slammed into the floor.
“This bucket of bolts isn’t making things easy for me.” The Servbot muttered. “If I’m going to win, I need to focus hard and take him out.”
Gadget Z rolled forward on his three wheels and swung his hammer again. The Servbot quickly held up his crowbar and blocked the blow. The Servbot pushed Gadget Z away, causing the barrel robot to spin around.
It was then that the Servbot saw a panel on Gadget Z’s back. Smirking evilly, the Servbot approached the still-dizzy Gadget Z and shoved his crowbar into the panel easily prying it open.
“Huh?! Hey! What’re you doing?!” Gadget Z demanded.
“Time for a little mechanical engineering!” The Servbot laughed darkly as he switched a few wires around. “Heh. Makes me with that I actually studied to become a mechanic…”
Gadget Z tried to respond, but stopped short and started twitching uncontrollably. Is memory files started going blank as a very familiar personality started creeping back.
“BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. I AM ERROR. PRESS ANY KEY TO RESTART.” Gadget Z droned. “…SYSTEM NOT FOUND. INSERT INSTALL DISC. DISC NOT FOUND. PLEASE CONFIRM DISC COVER IS CLOSED. READ ERROR. INSERT BOOT DISC AND PRESS ENTER. NO RESPONSE. SYSTEM MAY BE BUSY OR MELTING INTO SLAG. APPLICATION ERROR. SAVE YOUR WORK AND QUIT. YOU LOST EVERYTHING. WAY TO GO, GENIUS. WAITING FOR PROCESSORS.” Gadget Z started rolling in circles as the Servbot watched on. “404 COMPUTER HAMSTERS NOT FOUND. THREAT LEVEL UPGRADED TO JELLY ROLL 1. DETONATION IMMINENT. BLEEBLEBLIP! RUN QUERY IDENTIFICATION. RUN INSULT GENERATOR. GO AWAY YETI-LIP! CTRL ALT DEL!”
Turning around completely, Gadget Z rolled off, leaving the Servbot alone, chuckling.
“Man. That was hilarious.” The Servbot said to himself before pausing. “But I wonder if I’ve endangered anyone in the ring, now.”
(The Arena)
Zelda waved her hand, casting Din’s Fire and sending the flaming orb at Bombette. The pink Bomb-omb jumped to the side as Zelda’s attack exploded where she had just been standing.
“That wasn’t very nice, you know.” Bombette said simply.
“I was trying to detonate you and get you eliminated.” Zelda replied.
“Just because I blow up doesn’t mean I die when that happens.” Bombette reminded. “Observe.”
Bombette jumped into the surprised Zelda’s hands and started her fuse. In a few seconds, Bombette exploded in Zelda’s face, knocking the Hylian princess to the canvas.
Zelda looked up and saw an unharmed Bombette walking over to her downed form. “How the heck can you survive blowing up?” Zelda asked. “I thought Bomb-ombs were supposed to be kamikaze machines.”
Bombette ‘shrugged’. “The evil ones do. We good ones have the ability to blow up as many times as we want.” She explained.
“Okay. It seems I need a new plan.” Zelda said to herself as she got to her feet and gave Bombette a kick, sending the pink Bomb-omb across the arena.
Bombette landed on her side a rolled for a few seconds before coming to a stop. Jumping to her feet, Bombette narrowed her eyes and charged headfirst at Zelda.
“I didn’t want to do this so early, but you leave me no choice, princess!” Bombette shouted.
“We already know that your explosions aren’t strong enough to remove me from the arena.” Zelda reminded.
“My NORMAL ones, maybe.” Bombette replied as she got close. “BOMB SQUAD!!”
With that, Bombette exploded in a huge, firey cloud at least five times the size of her normal explosions. The force from the explosion was more than enough to remove Zelda from the ring.
Zelda landed in Mario Strikers Charged, right in the middle of a heated battle between Daisy and Waluigi. Daisy, unaware of Zelda’s presence, activated her Special Move, slamming her hands into the ground and causing pillars of stone to shoot out of the ground. Zelda was launched straight into the electric fence.
Akuma the Hedgehog launched another fireball at Watari, but Suikoden’s resident ninja easily avoided the attack, vanishing into thin air and appearing behind the red hedgehog.
However, while Watai was swinging his katana, Akuma spun in place and blocked the sword with his hands. Watari’s eyes widened in surprise.
“I knew you were behind me the instant you vanished.” Akuma explained. “It’ll take more than that to surprise me.”
“Thanks for the head’s up.” Watari said as he kicked Akuma in the face while the hedgehog was blocking his sword.
Although surprised at the attack, Akuma stepped back and smirked. Akuma pulled a sword twice as big as Watari’s out of nowhere and charged forward. Not one to be intimidated, Watari ran forward.
Hedgehog and ninja clashed swords, each one proving to be stronger than they looked. The two fighters swung their swords several times trying to find an opening to defeat their opponent.
“This is getting nowhere.” Watari pointed out.
“I couldn’t agree more.” Akuma nodded as he jumped back. “Shinkuu…”
Watari narrowed his eyes.
“HADOUKEN!!!” Akuma screamed as he lashed out his palms, launching another beam of energy at Watari. When the beam attack finished, Akuma looked forward and saw that Watari was nowhere to be seen.
“I suppose I finished the fight.” Akuma said to himself.
“Think again!”
Akuma looked up and saw Watari falling down towards him, sword raised. Akuma’s eyes widened as he held up his sword just as Watari swung down. Akuma managed to block the sword attack, but was taken completely off-guard. Watari forced Akuma back towards the ropes, repeatedly swinging his sword without giving the hedgehog time to retaliate.
When Akuma was back far enough, Watari swung his sword on last time, harder than ever. This broke Akuma’s guard, making him easy picking to kick out of the ring.
Akuma landed in Streets of Rage, where he joined the fight and helped take down Mr. X.
Watari stood, arms folded, when he suddenly felt the presence of something flying towards him. Watari vanished into thin air as Yashiro flew past him, going over the ropes (and into Guitar Hero, where he easily beat the high score).
Appearing back on the canvas, Watari turned and saw Billy Kane getting out of his stance and turning to talk to Dee Jay. Watari scratched his head, shrugged and charged off to start a fight with El Blaze.
“Ack!” Demyx shouted as he dropped to the floor as Guile sent a Sonic Boom over his head. While he was down, Demyx swung his sitar at the American soldier’s legs, but Guile easily avoided the attack.
“Kid, you’re out of your league.” Guile pointed out. “Face it. You’re not meant for fighting.”
“No way! I finally get to have a little fun without having to worry about Xemnas yelling at me for failing a mission and you’re telling me to stop it?” Demyx asked as he got to his feet. “Besides, I’m a much better fighter than people say I am!”
“Okay. Prove it.” Guile replied, folding his arms.
“Fine. I will.” Demyx said with a smirk as he started playing his sitar, creating a wave of water underneath him. Further playing his sitar, Demyx turned the small wave into a gigantic tidal wave, which he rode on, surfing around Guile.
Guile looks back and forth as Demyx surrounded him on the huge wave of water. Soon, Demyx had made a complete circle of water around the soldier, cutting him off from the rest of the canvas.
“Please. It’s just water.” Guile said as he stepped forward to walk through the wall of water.
“Not a smart move, pops.” Demyx said with a smirk as he surfed down low and stopped playing his sitar long enough to swing it and smash it across Guile’s head, knocking the soldier out of the wall of water.
As Guile was laying on the canvas, Demyx stopped his tidal wave and jumped back to the ground, directly in front of the downed Guile’s head.
“Still think I can’t fight?” Demyx asked.
“Okay. You’ve got a bit of skill.” Guile said as he got to his feet. “Then why do you say that you don’t like to fight if you have skill?”
“Why does everyone keep asking me that?” Demyx asked himself before responding. “I don’t like to fight, but that doesn’t mean I can’t fight at all.”
“I suppose you’re right, but that doesn’t mean you can beat me so easily.” Guile said as he got into a stance.
“Maybe not by myself.” Demyx said with a smirk before he started to play his sitar again. “Dance, water! Dance!”
Two musical notes made of water formed in the air, morphing into liquid clones of Demyx, whom slid close to Guile. The American solder made short work of the clones, punching the head off of one and kicking the other in half.
“Is that it?” Guile asked as he looked at Demyx again, only to see him charging forward.
Demyx swung his sitar, sending Guile up and over the ropes.
Guile landed in Art of Fighting 2, where he saw John Crawley as a clone and beat him down.
Demyx turned and scanned the arena for another fight. Seeing Bowser and Gutsman fighting, Demyx created another wave of water and surfed over.
For the past while, Bowser and Gutsman had been fighting it out, each one proving to be just as strong as the other. Bowser had some very unsightly bruises and Gutsman was sporting several dents in his armour.
The two giants tried one more time and lunged at each other, grappling each other in an attempt to get the other to fall.
Bowser ended up pushing Gutsman towards the ropes. When the robot was close enough, Bowser gave Gutsman a kick sending the robot out of the ring. Bowser didn’t notice it, but Gutsman seemed to go over the ropes willingly.
Gutsman landed on a grassy field and got up. “Well, I’m glad that’s over.” He said as he pulled out the piece of paper O’Chunks had given him earlier. “Now I can focus on this little mission O’Chunks gave to me.”
Suddenly, a baby deer ran onto the scene and cowered in front of Gutsman, looking back.
“Hey, little guy.” Gutsman said. “What’s wrong? Why’re you so scared?”
Gutsman looked over his shoulder and saw a ferocious-looking, brown creature spinning wildly at him. Gutsman turned around and blocked the creature’s path from the deer. The creature spun straight into Gutsman’s torso, but was unable to break through like with anything else he had spun into in the past.
“What’s the big idea picking on this poor, defenseless deer?” Gutsman demanded darkly.
Taz’s eyes bugged out as he turned and ran off screaming.
Seeing her ‘big brother’ getting tossed, Roll grunted and shot a Roll Buster at Mewtwo. The psychic Pokemon waved his hand, deflecting the shot and sending it flying into the air. However, in the time Mewtwo had taken to deflect Roll’s shot, the blonde robot girl had run up and gave him a swift kick in the knee.
Mewtwo grunted in pain as he collapsed to one knee, making him easy pickings for a punch to the head.
As Mewtwo recoiled, Roll pulled her arm cannon close and started cycling through the weapons in her disposal.
“Rolling Cutter won’t work…SSBFreak wouldn’t allow the Time Stop…He can probably get through the Skull Barrier…” Roll said as she searched for the right weapon. “Ah! Here we go!”
Mewtwo got up and looked at Roll.
“CHARGE KICK!” Roll shouted as she slid at Mewtwo, her foot engulfed in flames.
Narrowing his eyes, Mewtwo pulled one hand back. “That’s not going to work.” He said as he lashed out, swinging his hand down and pointing at the canvas, causing a small explosion to erupt on it. Roll slid right into the attack, bringing her out of her kick.
Roll landed on her side the wind knocked out of her. The robot girl tried getting up, but she was just too drained.
Seeing that his opponent was exhausted, Mewtwo sighed. “I suppose I’d best put you out of your misery.” He said as he telepathically lifted Roll off the canvas and deposited her over the ropes.
Roll landed in Fifa Street. One hard kick later and the ball was sent flying over the rooftops of the city.
Back in the arena, Mewtwo turned, arms folded, to look around the ring. Seeing that the right amount of fighters had been eliminated, Mewtwo relaxed for a bit, knowing that he had a bit of a break before the next wave entered. Demyx was tuning his sitar as Bowser adjusted the spiked bracelets he was wearing. Sonic took a couple of deep breaths and jumped in place, getting ready for the next fighters. El Blaze looked similarly active, keeping his mind focused. Tigerman had started a fight with Watari, but the two had since stopped their fight for a bit. Bombette stood aside, eyeing everyone else and forming battle plans. Dee Jay was talking to the Kanes about something, and Mewtwo was almost tempted to listen in to see what it was about.
Unfortunately, Mewtwo would never get the chance, as the next wave of fighters was about to enter.

Falling to Fatigue: Roll and Felicia have both been eliminated. This just goes to show that fatigue can kill a fighter even if they get a lot of votes.
…Then Again: Mewtwo, despite being in the arena longer than Roll and Felicia, is still in the ring. He’s really surprising me.
