On board the Starspeeder, it sped across the sky until they saw a large platform that floated in the middle of the lanes between.
"Well, that's where Flux said the fighters were all starting out at." Jexi said as they looked inside to see hundreds of competitors within.
The ship touched down inside as the heroes departed as they saw fighters gathered at a large stadium with a sheep like creature with a long yellow body was talking into the mike.
"Hello! And I welcome you all to Furious World! Let me introduce myself. My name is Ampharos and I am the leader of the Expedition Society. To all of you here, you know why you are here. To fight for the two prizes mentioned." Ampharos said.
Narrator: Legends tell of two powerful items that only surface once in a long time: The Skull Heart as well as Pandora. Pandora is known to give the fighter what they want as well as combat prowess. The Skull Heart, is more dangerous. It can grant one wish a female desires, but if their will is weak then they are transformed into the avatar of the next Skull Girl. Now, both items have been discovered and are offered as prizes!
"Yes! Thanks Doug. Now, let's go over the rules. Across the worlds, each member of the Expedition society is there, hiding from plain sight. Find them in order to receive a clue. While on said world, you will be fighting against random opponents. If you lose a fight, you are out of the tournament and must go home. Absolutely no killing, total defeat only. Now then, if you are a single fighter, you are welcome to ally with anyone you so please. But remember, only one person can claim the prizes. Now, let's let the computer select our first world!" He shouted.
The screen above then began to blink as locations were randomized. "And the first world is…. New Meridian! Here, our underwater explorer, Buizel, is hiding with the next clue. Find him while fighting and you move on to the next world on the card. Now, go and fight!" He declared.
Narrator: Among those who wish to claim the power, there are those who want to destroy it.
"We're done, Doug. You can go now." Ampharos said as a man with a deep voice came out.
Narrator: No way. You paid for the day, you get me for the day. *ahem* Some fight for pride…
"Wow. I'm actually getting excited." Jexi said slamming his fists together.
"Well, this is certainly a surprise, little brother." Said a voice to Mega Man as he turned to see a red robot with a beam sword and silver hair being followed by five cloaked figures.
"Blues?" Mega Man asked.
"My name is Proto Man and don't forget it." He said. "Look, Pandora has been sought after before, and I want it." He said. "Me and my team are more than ready for it."
"Them's fighting words, ya talking trash heap." Said a new voice.
"Grav?" Knuckles said as he saw him and Heracross enter.
"You'd think I'd miss out on a chance for fighting? No way. Just remember, in the end, this is a free for all." Grav said with a fire in his eyes as Heracross had the same.
"Dont count me out of this!" Blazer said jumping in front of them. "A chance to kick my little brother's ass like usual is awesome for me." He said with his hair moving like fire.
"I'm here too, Blazer." Umbra said. "And if I recall, I dont remember you beating me."
"You're the older brother. I'm not suppose to beat ya. At least not yet anyway." Blazer said.
"I'm gonna beat both of ya!" Jexi shouted as the three glared before laughing.
"Seriously, only one of us gets the prizes?" Yosuke asked.
"Yep. It even says it in the flyer." Grav said pointing to the words, free for all on it.
"Man, this is the P1 tournaments all over again." Yosuke said.
"Well, they do allow you to team up with a single fighter, but you'll just end up having to fight them in the finals afterwards." Heracross said.
A bell then dinged. "Guess that's the starting bell! Dont go out so soon, alright Jexi?" Blazer said.
"Who says I'm gonna lose." Jexi grinned as a large swirling gate opened as all the fighters ran toward it.
Narrator: And so the battle begins!
"Doug! Get out of here!" Ampharos said as the narrator groaned.
