The Great Fictional Character Tournament
By: EWMHop
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character used in this story for bloodthirsty entertainment.
The scene is the arena of the World Martial Arts Tournament. There are no spectators and no combatants until….
Suddenly there were 64 separate bursts of light. Emerging from these blinding spectacles were characters from many genres of fiction. There were some from video games, some anime characters, a few comic book heroes and a couple of movie stars.
The stands suddenly filled with cheering fans. The people around the ring had no idea why they are there but they quickly got the idea when they saw the fans in the audience holding signs supporting their favorite fighter.
A table appeared near the stands at the far side of the arena, well away from the ring. Two more well known characters appeared in seats at this table. These characters are Duo Maxwell and Little Mac.
"WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TO THE GREAT FICTIONAL CHARACTER TOURNAMENT!" Duo yelled into the microphone, "This fighting tournament pits the best of the best into a fight to determine who here can take the title of the world's greatest fighter." Duo let the crowd roar its approval before continuing with his introduction. "I am Duo Maxwell and joining me for commentary in this amazing spectacle of fighting prowess is a kid who has been in the ring himself. He has taken down the greats, from King Hippo all the way to the former Undisputed Champion 'Iron' Mike Tyson. He is the one, the only, LITTLE MAC!" The crowd roared again and Mac waved to his adoring fans.
"Thanks a lot Duo, its great to be here I just got off a long training streak with men like Chris Benoit of WWE fame and let me tell you, getting into a quick spar with that man makes me wanna get right back into the ring but for now I'll settle for watching these legendary fighters slug it out for supremacy." Little Mac completed his intro and started to speak again, "Now to explain the rules and premises of the tournament is the creator of this whole idea, EWMHop!"
I appeared in the middle of the ring and pulled a mike out of my pocket.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the rules of this tournament are very simple, each of these contestants have been assigned a number, the numbers have been drawn randomly into 32 first round matches. The rest of the matches will be fought like a standard bracket until only one match remains. Home field advantage will be decided by a coin flip before each match. And now I give you the list of characters entering the tournament."

"The matches have already been decided and the first match is….Riku vs. Gannondorf!"
The crowd roared again as the two combatants for the first match were announced. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a dime. "Now for this match Riku will be heads and Ganon will be tails." I flipped the dime and when it landed the result was…heads. "So Riku gets home field advantage in this match!" The crowd continued its unrelenting cheering as the two contestants stepped into the ring. It was then that a contestant spoke up for the first time.
"Um, excuse me," it was Goku, "If we're in the ring for the Budokai; how does Riku have home-field advantage?"
"Of course, leave it to the moron to pick up on that." Vegeta huffed.
"Well Goku, its rather simple," I said and then pulled out a remote control, after pushing the button the ring began to glow and then, Riku and Gannondorf were gone and a screen was in the place of the ring.
The scene was the Hallow Bastion. Riku pulled out his dark Keyblade and Gannondorf got into his fighting pose.
"WOW Mac! Its about to start! Riku from Kingdom Hearts and Gannondorf the villain of Hyrule are about to fight it out." Duo exclaimed, "I'm taking Ganon on this one what about you Mac?"
"I'll have to go with Riku, I think Gannondorf's a little too cocky for his own good and that can lead to his downfall." Mac commented.
"We'll see Mac, we'll see but I'm sure we agree that this is gonna be one HELL of a matchup!"
