Episode 3: Round 1

OP: Dragon Ball Galactic Mission Main Theme

The next day…

Music: Tournament Round 1: Mario Tennis

The stands are full of cheering people. Up on a floating platform, the announcer sits between two people.

Announcer: Welcome to the first ever Universal Fighting Tournament, sponsored by the Furious Tournament Series. I'm your announcer, and with me here today are Wiz & Boomstick, hosts of the popular Death Battle web series.

Wiz: Glad to be here.

Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!

Announcer: Uh…actually, it's non-lethal.

Boomstick: WHAT?! Then why are we here?

Announcer: …Ahem. Anyway, we have 64 fighters from eight worlds across the multiverse, all here to battle for a once-in-a-lifetime prize: a wish from the Super Dragon Balls! So, without further ado, let the first round begin!

Meanwhile, on the ground, Team Chronicle gathers.

Mark: Alright, everyone, let's win this for Galen!

Team Chronicle: YEAH!

Announcer: And the first match of Round 1 is… Moltar of Cross-World vs. Lapis Lazuli of Homeworld!

Moltar: Wow! I'm up first!

Scarlet Fist: Good luck pal!

Moltar makes his way to the ring. Facing him is a woman with cyan skin & royal blue eyes and cobalt blue hair.

Moltar: Hi! I'm Moltar, nice to meet you!

Lapis: …Hey.

Moltar: Not much of a talker, are you?

Announcer: Well, looks like a battle between Fire & Water! Wiz, Boomstick, care to give the audience the details?

Wiz: Certainly! Lapis Lazuli is a Gem from the planet known only as Homeworld & has control over all forms of water.

Boomstick: Meanwhile, Moltar is completely made of magma & has two wooden fists made for punching. Man, I bet he makes a hell of a campfire!

Announcer: Alright! Let's make this fight interesting!

The announcer pushes a button on the consol. Lava flows into Moltar's side, while water floods Lapis' side, separated by a white line.

Moltar: Ah, the home-field advantage!

Announcer: And so, without further ado, let the first match in the UFT…BEGIN!

Moltar vs. Lapis Lazuli

Moltar begins charging an attack.

Moltar: Molten Kamehameha!

Moltar fires the attack at Lapis. Suddenly, she grows wings made of water and flies over it.

Moltar: Oh, so you can fly, can you? Well…

Moltar disappears and reappears behind Lapis.

Moltar: …Good thing I can teleport!

The lava man sees a blue, tear-shaped gem on Lapis' back.

Moltar: (That looks important! The announcer said that these Gems were sentient rocks…that must be her true form. Better avoid punching that!)

Moltar punches Lapis in the back of the head. Meanwhile, in the sidelines, Team Chronicle walks over to Universe 3's stand. They see a boy wearing a pink t-shirt with a yellow star in the middle.

Mark: That must be the leader. Excuse me, are you Steven Universe?

Steven: Yeah, that's me! You guys are Team Chronicle, right? The announcer told us about you.

Eddy: Ha! Hear that boys? We're famous already!

Double D: It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr. Universe.

Steven: Uh…just call me Steven. Anyway, is it true you fought demons?

Mark: Never mind that, you've been in space! So cool!

Steven: Oh…thanks.

Announcer: Looks like Moltar is in trouble!

Everyone looks to the arena and sees Moltar trapped in a bubble of water.

Ed: Look! A bubble!

Mark: Uh…I'm not sure Moltar can breathe.

Moltar flails for a bit, then calms down & starts to remove his gauntlets.

Scarlet Fist: Oh. Yeah, she's lost.

Mark: Huh? Why's that?

Scarlet Fist: Those gauntlets & that neck brace aren't for increasing his power. They're restraints.

Moltar is now bare. Suddenly, all water in the arena instantly turns to steam.

Announcer: Whoa!

Boomstick: HOLY S***! You'd see that, Wiz?!

Wiz: It appears that Moltar's body temperature has risen to temperatures above most volcanic eruptions! The water evaporated instantly!

Announcer: Which means that Lapis is now wide open to attack!

Moltar: It's been fun, but play time's over!

Moltar teleports right in front of Lapis, and delivers a punch that sends Lapis out of the stage.

Announcer: Well, looks like Moltar wins!

WINNER: Moltar

The crowd cheers as Moltar puts his gear back on and walks over to Lapis.

Moltar: That was fun! We should do it again some time!

Moltar helps Lapis up & heads over to the rest of Team Chronicle.

Scarlet Fist: Wow, nice fight Moltar!

Moltar: Thanks! Let's hope I can keep it up in the next round.

Announcer: It's time for the next match: Mark Anarchy vs. the mystery fighter from Equestria!

Mark: Looks like it's time to fight! Wish me luck!

Mark walks up to the arena and faces a humanoid figure wearing a cloak, hiding their identity.

Announcer: And the mystery fighter for Equestria is…

The mystery fighter lowers their hood revealing…a blonde hair, blue eyed 13-year old girl.

Announcer: …Megan Williams!

The crowd cheers as Mark looks confused.

Mark: Uh…I'm sorry, why is a human on the MLP team?

Wiz: Megan Williams is a hero from the first generation of My Little Pony. She wields the Rainbow of Light, which has the ability to dispel evil & darkness.

Mark: Ah okay, that makes sense.

Announcer: So, without further ado…let the battle begin!

Mark Anarchy vs. Megan Williams

Megan holds a necklace in her hand and presses a button on it, which causes it to shoot out a rainbow beam.

Mark: Uh oh.

Mark jumps to the side to avoid the laser. He then pulls out a cross.

Mark: Alright then. Even light bows before the Lord. I'll show you why. CROSS SWORD!

The cross glows with power and transforms into a sword. He then rushes Megan, who shoots more rainbow laser at the half-angel. However, Mark manages to slice through the lasers as he gets closer and closer to the girl. Meanwhile, he pulls out a second cross, holding it vertically, but Megan doesn't notice. Mark manages to get up close to his opponent, who surrounds herself with multiple rainbows that completely cover her.

Announcer: Looks like Megan has created a sort of bubble shield. Can Mark break through?

Mark smiles and pulls out a gun.

Mark: FAITH BULLET!

Mark fires, piercing the rainbow shield. The rest of the bubble dissipates, revealing Megan, laying on the floor.

Announcer: It appears that the bullet knocked Megan unconscious.

Boomstick: What?! Nonsense, the girl just got shot! She's dead.

Wiz: Actually Boomstick, according to the research, the bullets only kill if they are allowed to. Mark's powers are based on faith, his actions guided by God, meaning that the bullets are only lethal when God allows them to be.

Boomstick: Well that's bull crap. A gun that can't kill people? Where's the fun in that?

Announcer: Well, moving on, looks like Mark is the winner!

WINNER: Mark Anarchy

Mark heads back to the others.

Mark: How was that?

Double D: Amazing! You've certainly picked up new skills through your training.

Mark: Well, I can't take all the credit; it was Mom and Aunt Stocking who showed me how.

Announcer: And now it's time for our next match: Cross-World's mystery fighter vs. Raynare, the fallen angel from the Demon Universe!

Eddy: So, who's our mystery fighter again?

Double D: That's the thing, we don't know. Not even their fellow team mates know who the mystery fighters are.

On the arena, another cloaked figure is facing a raven-haired woman wearing…very little.

Mark: Eep!

Mark ducks down, shaking in fear.

Steven Universe: Is he alright?

Eddy: Yeah, he just has sexophobia.

Double D: Actually, Eddy, the correct term is erotophobia, the most general phobia for sex. Mark may specifically has fear of sexual perversion, or paraphobia.

Ed: Gesundheit.

Announcer: And the mystery fighter from Cross-World is…

Mark glances at the arena, still shaking. The mystery fighter removes their hood, revealing…

Mark: Mom!

Announcer: …Panty Anarchy!

Music: Fly Away by TeddyLoid

Announcer: That's right, ladies and gentlemen, it's a battle of the fallen angels! So, let the battle begin!

Panty Anarchy vs. Raynare

Raynare creates several spears of purple light that Panty dodges. The blonde fallen angel returns fire with her pistol.

Mark: Yeah, go Mom!

Steven: Wait, that's your Mom?

Mark: Yeah! She's a fallen angel that…walked out on my dad. I got left with my father when she gave birth to me, but we're cool now.

Eddy: Yeah, it's surprising what a good-old fashioned beatdown can do for family issues.

Steven: Wait, what?

Double D: Don't ask.

Back in the arena, the back-and-forth battle continues.

Raynare: You think you can beat me without wings?

Panty: You bet I can, hell-bound for leather! Just watch and learn how a real fallen angel does it.

Mark: Looks like Mom's preparing her special attack!

Double D: What do you mean "special"?

Mark: What, you thought I was the only one being trained? I taught my family how to use Ki as well! And by the looks of it…

Panty fires a number of bullets that zip past Raynare; however, they all stop and hang in the air.

Mark: …She's using one of the moves she made up.

Panty: ANGELIC MINEFIELD!

Suddenly, all of the bullets rush into Raynare, throwing her into the air. Panty pulls out a second pistol and crosses them together, firing an energy blast that throws the evil fallen angel out of the ring and onto the ground.

Announcer: Well, looks like Raynare has been thrown out of the ring, leaving Panty as the winner!

Mark: WOOHOO! Way to go Mom!

Panty gives a quick smile to Mark and heads out of the ring.

Announcer: Well, ladies and gentlemen, so far Team Chronicle have defeated all the opponents thrown at them! Can their luck hold out for the rest of the tournament.

Boomstick: Well, considering that Goku is in this thing, I doubt it.

Announcer: Hey, don't ruin the suspense! Uh, anyway, we'll be right back, after the break!
