(A/N: My first in a series for giving undeveloped characters backstories. First is Crimson. Let the music play!)

"It will be a glorious day for the world of darkness."
The words he had just spoken echoed through his ears and into his mind. His outward appearance showed no qualms or remorse, but the only one who knew this was a façade was himself. His allies barely knew him, and his enemies obviously didn't know him.
As his allies retreated into the floating castle known as the Yamiking, he lingered behind, and followed after a quick second.
As he slowly walked into the fortress, he took his place on the first stage, the Cinematic Hour stage. It was to be a Sangaria, a three-on-three battle. ...I will finish it here, the three-eyed man thought.
All others before me showed no mercy, even transforming using their Dark Fist. Being one of the strongest, I will finish it here without a transformation, but I won't like it, and it won't be easy. He obviously took pride in his strength. However, that did not change the fact of his remorse and Bobobo's strength.
The man heard the group approaching, more specifically, breaking through the floor of the Yamiking!
He was clearly not pleased with this, shown by his countenance, and it just annoyed him even further when they could not find him. Seriously, he was inside a FREAKING FAKE OPEN DRAGON'S MOUTH. That's pretty obvious. Either to start the fight, get a cheap shot, or show his strength, he dramatically called out, "Dark Fist of Three Eyes!"
Multiple floating eyes shot out of the dragon's mouth, and the group looked on in bewilderment. Their unasked questions were almost immediately answered when the eyes started assaulting them with lasers!
The man, now with a guise of overconfidence, revealed himself and his allies to his opponents, asking, "So, Bobobo. Are you ready to fight?" A caption appeared under him, revealing the man's name: Crimson. The name was suiting, considering the bloodshed he could cause.
Bobobo shouted, "Oh, yeah! Bring it on!" as Dengakuman, Despair-kun, and Kancho-kun were all sitting around peacefully.
Beauty freaked out, as usual. Boo, think up some new material and get off the stage!
OVER quickly cut down Despair-kun and bellowed, "I'll kill you right now!" He, along with Hanpen and Halekulani, charged recklessly at the three-eyed man.
The man sighed and called out, "Dark Fist of Three Eyes." A barrier of eyes rose around the threesome, firing a barrage of lasers at the attackers. He explained, "This will be a fair fight: a Sangaria. You're familiar with those, aren't you?"
He said that last line with great sarcasm and a sense of taunting...
And so, the fight began, with Bobobo, Tokoro Tennosuke, and Halekulani facing Crimson and his two allies: Tsugan G, a well-built man with a scar along his left eye and black hair, and Chef Lin, a very odd-looking alien in chef's garb.
Nearly the whole fight was in Crimson's control, which, if asked about, he would say it was because of his amazing strength. However, it was just as much that as the fact that Bobobo and his group couldn't cooperate. Bobobo was put on edge by the arena itself, where he was fittingly put into movie life-or-death scenes. They survived each one in various nonsensical ways, but that did not change the punishment the one with green hair, known as Halekulani, was taking.
He suffered the brunt of Crimson's attacks, and even some attacks from his so-called allies! This eventually caused him to go insane—not like this show, but like a literal psycho! He literally threw his money around everywhere, not caring about who he hurt. The titular character took advantage of this by simultaneously fusing with the money and tricking Tennosuke into the fusion, also.
The result was the reckless gambler Kintenbo! All of his attacks focused on forcing everyone, even those not involved in the Sangaria, to participate in deadly casino games. He then prepared his ultimate attack, which was... a cannon? What the crap does that have to do with gambling?
Ah, well. Crimson, Tsugan G, and Chef Lin all looked on in disbelief and fear as the cannon blast consumed them, forcing them back into the dark world, and this time, there was no chance of getting out. Crimson screamed, "How is it possible for me to lose?!" as the portal closed.
The worst part is... he kept true to his word and didn't transform. As he and his cohorts stood hopelessly in a backdrop of nothing but inky black moving on for eternity, Chef Lin asked, "Is it really all that bad here?"
This earned him a prompt Eye Punch from Crimson. He heaved a heavy sigh and said to himself, "I knew this was a bad idea from the start..."

(I'll take requests for other characters to give backstories to, but I only do one story at a time, so this will be my first priority. 'Eye Punch' is a move of Crimson's where he removes his third eye, places it on his fist, and punches the opponent, the punch being much more powerful. The actual flashback will begin next chapter.)
