"Hello and welcome back again to our coverage to the Final 8. Today is the start of our final bout with the teams going off against one another. Our first match of the day is the Dimensional Heroes vs the music guild you wanna scream out for….Rhythm Knights!" Dedenne said.
As the heroes entered normally, the Rhythm Knights entered with music screeching all over the stadium as they marched inside.
"Good luck Jexi!" Hope said.
"But if they lose, Luffy will lose brook and they'll lose Rainbow too." Gemini said.
"Luffy! I dont want brook gone, got it?" Hope said.
"Shishishi! What makes you think I'm gonna lose my musician to a bunch of musicians?" Luffy said laughing.
"Okay. Rhythm Knights have just sent in their first fighter." Dedenne said as walking in was a Pikachu dressed in a rocker outfit.
"How we doin tonight loves?" it said with a wink as the girls in the crowd scream wild.
"A cosplay pikachu? And it even has a british accent?" Hope said.
"Ya got it mate. People call this cosplay style Pikachu Rock Star, the coolest rocker to ever walk the planet!" Pikachu said as the crowd screamed.
"So there Pikachu Rocker is up first? Who will the Dimensional Heroes send out?" Venusaur asked.
"All right, guys. I'll handle this guy." Jibanyan said.
"Oh! A battle of the mascots is underway. Pikachu Rock Star vs Jibanyan! What an amazing match up! Who will win? The yellow mouse or the red cat. If you go by recent statistics, the cat always wins, but we will have to see!" Dedenne said.
"You really want some'a this, mate? You cant even beat a car or truck, what makes you think you can beat me?" Pikachu Rock Star asked.
"I nyow that I can beat up a vehicle, but that doesnt mean I can fight for someone else. She's gotta be in the crowd, and I'm gonna fight for her love." Jibanyan said.
"Deep words mate. I'll be sure to put em in a love song after I electrocute you!" Pikachu said.
"Ready...Fight!" Dedenne said.
"Let's start the show with Thunder!" Pikachu said sending out an electric shock.
Jibanyan dodged the thunder as he ran at Pikachu Rock Star. "Take this! Paws of Fury!" Jibanyan said nailing the Pikachu with lots of paws.
"Wha the…? He's actually doing damage t'me?" PRS asked. He ducked outta the way and saw his HP was down by half already. "I dont go all out, I'm as good as a goner. This might hit me back if I do this, but I gotta go all out on this wanker! Here it comes! Meteor Mash!" he shouted as his fish glowed, hitting Jibanyan and pushing him back.
"Nya. That...only tickled!" Jibanyan declared.
"He's been hit by so many cars, I guess he's use to those hard impacts." Sunset said.
"And now...here it comes. How about another dosage of...Paws of Fury!" Jibanyan said.
"Volt Tackle!" Pikachu said as they both charged head on as an explosion soon followed after that.
As the smoke cleared, Jibanyan was left standing as pikachu stumbled.
"That was...impressive...mate.." PRS said passing out.
"He's down! The winner is Jibanyan!" Dedenne said.
"Yeah! I won! Whoo!" Jibanyan said as he stumbled off before passing out.
"Not bad for a cat, huh?" Sunset said. "I'm sure that girl Amy's watched the whole thing."
Some sad music was soon playing as Kricketune walked into the stage. "Such a sad tale, but it shall be your only win. I am up." Kricketune said.
"And up next is the classical music artist….Kricketune!" Dedenne said.
"Now, come at me so I may play you your funeral march." Kricketune said.
"A boasting guy, huh?" Kanji said grabbing his folding chair. "Well bring it on!"
"Looks like the Bloodcurdling Beefcake Emperor Kanji Tatsumi is facing Kricketune. Lets see how the Investigation teams muscle deals with Kricketune's skill!" Dedenne said.
"Ready...Fight!"
"Now, let's start out with this." Kricketune said as he began playing a soothing song that filled the entire stadium.
"What the heck is he doing?" Aqua said before seeing some of her teammates looking drowsy. "Its Sing. He's putting Kanji to sleep!"
Kanji was yawning as he tried to keep himself standing.
"That's right. Enjoy my soothing lullaby." Kricketune said.
Noise smiled as she listened. "All part of Kricketune's strategy. As soon as he's asleep, Kricketune's gonna waste him while he snoozes. Its an unavoidable strategy." Noise thought to herself.
"Only got… one shot at this…" Kanji said holding his card. "Per-so...na!"
At the last possible second before his body fell over, he shattered the card and Take Mikazuchi appeared slamming into the ground.
"Aaah, now thats an impressive Persona!" Dedenne said.
"Hah. That big lug cant do anything if its masters asleep. It'll just.." Kricketune said before Take-Mikazuchi moved on his own. "What? Wait, this is easy." Kricketune said flying fast at Kanji. "All I have to do is beat the controller and it vanishes. X-Scissor!"
He arced his pincers in an X-fomration as he slammed into Kanji. But then he found him to be awake as he blocked it with his folding chair.
"Hey, thanks for the nap, bug face." Kanji said.
"How on earth could you wake up so quickly? Its only been three minutes." Kricketune said.
"You really shoudnt underestimate an investigation team member." Kanjo said smashing Kricketune into the air. "I'm use to sleeping so quickly. And now you're gonna pay for that!" Kanji said as lightning struck his chair. "You're….outta here!" Kanji said sending Kricketune flying out of the stadium.
"Two wins in a row for the heroes! Its gonna take a knockout by the Rythm Kights to keep this alive!' Dedenne said.
" Guess its gonna take more than a few rockers to take these guys." Noise said entering with her guitar. "Its gonna take… A ROCK STAR!" she shouted hitting the cord.
"Heh. I was wondering when she'd choose to join the fun." Rainbow said getting up.
"Looks like Rainbow Dash is gonna settle this, rocker to rocker! Shes even bringing Arpeggio with her and just that." Dedenne said.
"Spoken like a true rocker." Noise said. "But I gotta be honest...this is as far as you go."
"You should know by now no one messes with us. I'm gonna prove it." Rainbow said.
"Ready….Fight!"
Noise opened her eyes quickly as she got behind Rainbow. "What the…" Rainbow said.
"Sound Breaker!" Noise said shouted as it sent Rainbow flying across the stage with a soundwave.
"How did she go so fast?" Nami said in shock. "She's blind."
"True, she can't see with her eyes, but she's got another way of seeing. She uses an advanced version of echolocation. She can see using sound." Anima said.
"She's able to hear the faintest sound and move to its location. She's also immune to sound attacks thanks to it." Evan said.
"Whats the matter, Dash? Thought you'd beat me with that guitar's sound?" Noise asked.
Rainbow strummed Arpeggio as a water spout missed Noise as Noise attacked her from behind once more.
"I could hear the water bubbling underground. It was way too noisy." she said batting Rainbow away.
Rainbow then realized that the strength of Noise's attacks and skill were used by her ears.
"Thats it! She's using her ears to know what I'm doing." Rainbow thought. "So if I cover them up.."
She strummed Apreggio again creating two spouts on the opposite sides of Noise.
Noise smiled as she rose an arm. "Time for the big finish. Echo Chamber!" she shouted as she strummed, stopping the spouts as well as knocking Rainbow out of the arena.
"Rainbow Dash has been defeated! Point, Rhythm Knights!" Dedenne said.
"Now its two to one. This is very interesting." Spectra said.
"Sorry, Jexi. But I still havent lost my confidence." Rainbow siad.
"No you have not. Alright, who's next?" Jexi asked.
"Her sound skills and attacks are deadly. I dont think we can stay a step ahead if it means she blasts us back every time." Brook said.
"And the next competitor has already stepped into the ring. Its...Squigly!" Dedenne said.
"What is she…?" Wendy said before Squigly signed a trust me motion.
"Hmm? You're a quiet one." Noise said. "Guess I'll just have to use movement by sound for this one."
"Ready….fight!"
Squigly leapt into the air using Leviathan as Noise just stood there.
"You can begin at any time." Noise said.
"Squigly's in the air and not making a sound. Noise can't tell where she is if she's not making a sound." Naoto said.
"Come on. Seriously, I wanna start!" Noise said before Leviathan struck Noise's guitar. "Hey! How'd you do that? I didn't even hear ya!"
"Thats the point, my dear." Leviathing said. "Squigly, its time for us to take over."
"Okay, leviathan!" Squigly said. The two then whaled on her dealing massive amounts of damage before Noise rose an arm.
"Serious time take 2! Echo Chamber!" Noise said as she let out a scream instead of using her guitar.
"Now it the time." Squigly said as she dived down from the air. "Here we go!" she said striking Noise from the back. Noise still stood before smiling.
"Huh? Why is she…" Hope said as Noise rose an arm.
"Hey….judge mouse. Yeah, I quit." Noise said.
"WHHHHAAATTT?!" everyone said.
"You realize if you quit, your wager is cancelled and you are out of the tournament right?" Dedenne asked.
"I know...but thing is...I'm so tired. And I got a show in an hour….so….I'm gonna quit." Noise said.
"So then…. The winner by unanimous forfeit is, the Dimensional Heroes!" Dedenne said.
"Well we win.. But we didnt get a guild ally." Lucy said.
"I never really cared about the bet. To be honest, I was gonna cancel it the moment we won either way." Jexi said.
"What?" Hope asked.
"They're musicians, they should be free to do as they please, we can't just lock them down like dogs." Jexi said.
"Yeah. Besides, you already have one guild backing you up." Natsu said. "Fairy Tail baby!"
"And now, for the next match of the day! Its Shining Hope Squad vs Venom Thieves!" Dedenne said as Toxic smiled at Hope.
