"And we are back. As you might remember, we recently decided to take a tropical change to the beach. That's right...we've changed the stage to Bubblaine of the Seaside Kingdom. A place famous for its crystal clear oceans and sparkling seawater that has that carbonated fizz! And of course the Sparkle Water. Perfect for making a toast with your sweetheart." Magenta said.
"The key advantage and disadvantage in this stage is Bubblaine's ocean." Izuku said. "An environment like that is perfect for water type fighters like Captain Sharkfang, Bluefin, and of course that Constellar, Cetus."
"All three of them have taken to the ocean. But you think the others are gonna follow them in? Just what are they gonna…" Lemon said as they saw some water bubbling near the edge as a large wave began to rise.
"What the hell?" Bakugo said as they heard laughter as they saw Cetus atop Wailord as they rode the wave.
"I hope you all remember to learn to breathe under water...cause I'm about to make this the Ocean Kingdom!" Cetus said.
"TIDAL WAVE!" Hope shouted.
"This is bad, he's gonna drown us!" Flamberge said.
"David!" Fransisca called.
"Got it! Burst!" David said using Burst with Kyogre and unleashing a wave of his own.
"You think you can outsurf me? I'm the champion back where I come from." Cetus said.
"I don't care if you're the king. Nobody hurts my friends!" David said.
"Fine then...I had a feeling someone here might not be able to drown...so I came prepared." Cetus said pulling out a trident.
"Just shut up and fight." David said. "Blizzard!"
"Ocean Spray!" Cetus said firing a burst of water from the trident as both attacks cancelled out. "Of course, since its just water...all my attacks are gonna be nothing but chunks of ice." Cetus said.
"You should've thought about that before messing with me. Now you're gonna get it! Origin Pulse!" David shouted as cascades of water are launched.
"Ahh!" Cetus said as he took the attacks head on. "Not bad...but...wait till you see what I have in store. Wailord...let's join forces!" he said as both glowed before Cetus stood there on the wave as a giant. "Now...I am a true god of the ocean!" he said laughing.
"Big deal. Haven't you heard? I'm not just a demon hunter. I'm also a Godslayer." David said.
"Under the authority of my queen….I shall see you suffer under the water! Ultimate Water Art!" Cetus said slamming a palm in the ocean as a wave rose behind him. "Big Wave!"
"More waves? Please… Blizzaga!" David shouted.
With David's massive ice attack, strengthened by Kyogre's power, Cetus's waves froze solid.
"Yes! He froze Cetus's attacks! He's a sitting duck!" Hope said.
"Impossible! I can't lose! I am Cetus, the Whale Constellation! I drown everything!" Cetus panicked before David deals an icy uppercut to him, causing him to vanish.
"Consider yourself all washed up." David said before he reverted.
"Baa...baa...baaa…" Cetus said having landed in the stands gasping for air.
"Cetus...has been eliminated! And may need mouth to mouth." Magenta said.
"Not it!" the whole audience said.
"Wow...now that was awesome." Jexi said.
"That's David for you." Hope said as David landed. "Great job, David. You sure showed that big bozo."
"Eh, it was nothing." David said.
"Can't say same for me though. I was this close to getting eliminated. But if it wasn't for Azura taking the blow for me I would've been done for. Didn't even get a chance to give Volt payback before we shifted." Hope said.
"I'm sure you'll get your chance soon." Simon said flying down to them in hawk form. "Azura is an important friend to you and us after all." he said as he shifted back to human form.
"You're right Simon." Hope said before he saw the battles raging on the beach and in the ocean. "We'd better get back to it. Bubblaine's becoming D-Day right now, and we need to stay alive."
"Yeah...but if Cetus planned to drown us...Sharkfang and Bluefin might be thinking of something similar. Here, those two are major threats." Starlight said.
"She's right. Those two are capable of rocking the very seas themselves." David said. "We need to think of a plan."
"Uh Dave...think your friend beat ya to it." Jexi said pointing to the sky where Naomi flew over with Swanna.
"Naomi… She's really gonna go for it, is she?" David asked.
"Yeah. That look in her eyes… she's looking to face Sharkfang, as a way to pay her back for helping us in The Caribbean." Hope said.
"And it looks like she's about to get caught in a battle between Sharkfang and Bluefin. I hope she knows what she's doing." David said.
"Get back here, you bastard!" Sharkfang shouted swimming after Bluefin as both of them had used burst with their links and were now fighting in the ocean.
"Come on, minnow. No need to be angry." Bluefin said.
"Stop calling me that, you bastard!" she shouted.
"She's got quite the temper when it comes to being called a Minnow." Hope said.
"She's got spunk for sure." Bakugo said.
"She's like a female version of you." Aria said.
"Gh… What are you talking about?! You better watch it before I blast you all the way to hell!" Bakugo said.
"Guys, guys, chill." David said.
"Splish, splash." a voice said.
"Huh?" they said before they saw Blue Splasher heading towards the fighting siblings and jumping right off the water with each step.
"Amazing! Blue Splasher has already begun using his talent to make his way to the competitors." Magenta said. "For those who don't know, his talent is called Waterproof. Besides drinking, liquids are unable to touch him so he can simply bounce right off bodies of water like walking on a trampoline!"
"Another of the Rainbow Brigade is making his move… but why now?" Hope asked.
"Who cares...he's not gonna have his way...cause I'm gonna blast him and that Bluefin guy to hell!" Bakugo said flying over the water using explosions.
"Bakugo, wait!" Francisca said before he disappeared out of sight. "Jamblasted… He's in for a shocker."
"That boy really needs to think before he acts." Zan said putting a hand to her head as she shook it.
"Yes...I'm getting close! My chance. Magikarp!" Blue Splasher said as Magikarp jumped out of the water. "Let's get those two before they notice. Use that amazing jumping strength of yours! Use...Bounce!" he said as Magikarp jumped high into the air. But…
"Out of my way!" Bakugo said blowing it far away before it and Blue Splasher vanished.
"Blue Splasher...has been eliminated?!" Magenta said in shock.
"He got him just like that?!" Ochako asked.
"His link's a Magikarp, what do you think was gonna happen?" Gemini asked.
"That was easy, too easy in fact." Ace said.
"Well, Magikarp is kind of a joke." Leopardmon said. "But let's just say, you won't like him when he evolves."
"Good thing Bakugo took him out before that could happen." Sheena said.
"In a shocking event no one saw coming, Katsuki Bakugo has eliminated Blue Splasher in one shot! And now he and Naomi are headed straight towards Bluefin and Captain Sharkfang!" Magenta called.
"Seems these two really are out for us huh? Why don't we deal with them and then we can finish things between us." Bluefin said.
"Fine...I'll take care of that little mouse." Sharkfang said diving underwater as she started speeding at Naomi before leaping out. "I see ya!" she said biting onto Swanna's wing.
"I was hoping you'd do that. Steel Wing!" Naomi called as Swanna's wings glowed. The steel coated attack grinded against Sharkfang's teeth as she was forced to let go and fall back into the ocean.
"Hahaha! She's a smart one. Sis always attacks by biting at weakpoints first, but that girl found a way to make her teeth useless against her. Hilarious. She's not a minnow...she's a wonderful rainbow trout." Bluefin said.
"Uh… Th-thank you." Naomi said, blushing from the comment.
"However...my sis isn't the type to give up after one attempt." Bluefin said as Sharkfang jumped out again with teeth open.
"I'll use Steel Wing again." Naomi said.
"Heh...Faked ya out." Sharkfang said before shutting her mouth and headbutting into Swanna.
"You really shouldn't have done that. Go! Aerial Ace!" Naomi said.
Swanna accelerated as she clashed with Sharkfang's head as the two battled across the sea and sky.
"Hahahahaha!" Bluefin laughed as they battled.
"Hey, Fish Face!" Bakugo said flying his way.
"Oh you're here too. You're as savage as a salmon fighting against a grizzly bear. But...I'm not like my sister." he said sinking into the water as he vanished from sight instantly.
"What the hell is this?" Bakugo asked.
"Bluefin vanished in the water?" Lemon asked.
"Not quite. As I recall...his link is Vaporeon. Vaporeon is able to merge and melt into the water itself." Tails said.
"And Bluefin used Burst with Vaporeon so...he can become invisible inside the water?!" Kendo said.
"Bakugo's gonna have a hard time dealing with this." Todoroki said.
Bluefin attacked Bakugo from every direction in the water, appearing and disappearing as he surfaced and dived.
"(Dammit! If he keeps attacking me like this, I'm toast!)" Bakugo thought. "(He's just gonna...no...I gotta think straight. I need to get ready. Wait...I got it.)" he said grabbing the pin from one of his gauntlets. "I'll blow you out of the water!" he said tossing it into the ocean.
"What? He's joking. He doesn't even know where I am." Bluefin said as the explosion went off.
"I got ya!" Bakugo said firing an explosion from behind and nailing Bluefin.
"He found me? But how did….ah!" he said seeing water droplets falling onto the surface. "I see...he used the water to disrupt the surface, making it harder for me to blend."
"Okay big fish...you're finished! AP Shot!" Bakugo said firing at Bluefin and sent him flying before vanishing.
"Bluefin has been eliminated." Magenta said.
"Son of a...After I finish with this little runt, that bastard's next." Sharkfang barked.
"Too bad that's not going to happen. Air Slash!" Naomi said as gusts of wind were sent at Sharkfang.
"Like hell!" she said breaking through the attacks. "I just lost my chance to show my power to my older brother. I'm in a very foul mood right now." she said growling. "So...I'm gonna take my anger out on you and bomb boy." she said.
Naomi dealt multiple slashes as Sharkfang got close before closing the combo with a burst of light.
"The...the hell is this?" Sharkfang said seeing Naomi in a white dress made of feathers. "She...she uses Burst too?!"
"So, this is what all that training in Tokyo went to." David said.
"Now for the finishing touch." Naomi said as she performed an Air Slash.
"Damn….I bit off more than I could." Sharkfang muttered before the attack hit as she vanished.
"Captain Sharkfang...has been eliminated!" Magenta declared.
"Way to go, Naomi!" Flamberge said.
"Phew… I was worried for a moment." David said.
"Okay...so you won. Now I get the pleasure of wiping you out myself you…" Bakugo said being surrounded by a windstorm. "Wait...the hell is this? You think I'm gonna let you do this?" he said grabbing something. "Ha got ya you…" he said before seeing it was Lemon. "Wait...weren't you…." he said before seeing he was in the stands. "WHAT THE HELL?"
"Katsuki Bakugou has been eliminated." Magenta said.
"What the hell? How did I lose?!" Bakugo asked.
"You're way out of bounds. Naomi used a whirlwind to send you out of the stadium." Magenta said. "True an out of bounds is rare with our arena, it's still very possible."
"I demand a recount! I should be back in there!" Bakugo shouted.
"Dude, let it go. You'll get them next time." Lemon said as Bakugo sat.
"Naomi really has gotten stronger, has she?" Hope asked.
"Definitely. She seems like on a completely different level than when she was with us." David said.
"Well, that just makes me more excited." Hope said. "To me this tournament isn't about winning… it's just about having fun. And fighting others alongside our perfect links… couldn't be any better."
"And it looks like our battles out at sea are starting to wrap up….but the action on the beaches are still intense!" Magenta said. "We're already seeing one that's captivating the audience." she said switching to footage of Machamp going against Marshadow.
"Is that Betty?" David asked. "And she's fighting that Satana guy."
"Why is she fighting him?" Hope asked.
On the beachside…
Marshadow and Machamp battled as Machamp tried to strike Marshadow, but he was too quick for him. Betty on the other hand was trying her best to avoid Satana's brutal attacks.
"Cmon, cmon! It's no fun if you run away!" Satana said.
"I'm not running away!" Betty said firing her gun at Satana.
"You are but a weak girl...bullets of lead cannot harm demons." Satana said.
"True...but these aren't lead! I'm tired of...just being support for the guys. So...I'll become their secret weapon!" she said revealing her z ring.
"A Z Ring?" Satana said.
"You said you never lost right? Well your streak is gonna break all right, but not cause of David. It'll be me!" Betty said.
"You, a Mortal, challenging me?!" Satana asked. "I am Satana! I'm the most powerful fighter in the Demon Professional Fighting circuit! I can't be defeated!"
"From the shadows of the greats...this lone fighter...has honed his skills to become...the Ultimate Fighter! Marshadow...use Soul-Stealing Seven Star Strike!" Betty shouted as Marshadow's headpiece ignited.
"Ha!" Marshadow shouted as it turned to Satana and marked him with seven stars before striking him in those seven places before landing on the other side as an explosion occurred with him and Machamp vanishing.
"Satana...has been eliminated." Magenta said.
"She got him!" Hope said in shock.
"Who knew Betty was such a badass?" Jiro asked.
"So much for taking him on later down the line, huh David?" Aria asked.
"Yeah. But, let's be honest. I would've trounced him easily." David said.
"So true." Jexi said. "Still...only two to go before we head to the next stage change."
"And I think we've found them right here." David said looking to another part where Scott and Ramona were fighting a tag team against Ophiuchus and Serpens.
"I must say...these two don't leave much to the imagination my love." Serpens said.
"Indeed. Such movements are no match for our love!" Ophiuchus said.
"Are you sure about that? You barely got any hits on us." Ramona said.
"Never mind them, Ramona. They're just getting cocky." Scott said. "Let's stick it to them."
"I'm with you. Go, Mud Bomb!" Ramona asaid.
"Poison Jab!" Scott said.
"Seviper, you counter with Poison Jab." Serpens said.
"And Machoke, use strength to keep that mud off us." Ophiuchus said as Machoke tossed a rock at the mud as Seviper countered Nidoking's poison jab.
"Those two are dunces right?" Scott asked.
"Mm-hm." Ramona said as the Mud Bomb went at Seviper as Nidoking moved around Seviper and went for the Machoke.
"What?! They faked us?" Serpens asked.
"Relax darling...as long as they don't harm you, it's fine." Ophiuchus said smiling before the attacks landed as some of the mud landed on Serpens. "Hmmm. Say...can I ask you...which one of you fired the mud attack?"
"Uh...are you an idiot or something?" Ramona asked.
"I'll ask again in a different way...which one of you...defiled my love?" he said grasping the falling boulder as it started to crack.
"Didn't you hear it a minute ago? It was clearly me." Ramona said.
"I see…" Ophiuchus said before charging into Ramona and grabbing her. "Then apologize...now." he growled.
"The only thing we'll apologize for...is your lack of Synergy. Scott, now!" Ramona said.
"Right! Go, Dynamic Punch!" Scott said as Nidoking landed a Dynamic Punch on Machoke.
"I said...apologize." he said slamming Ramona into the ground.
"What? Does he...does he not care?" Scott said.
"It's no use. I'm the object of his affection dear. See...he would kill an entire city just to make me happy." Serpens said.
"Then...I gotta finish Machoke quickly." Scott said. "Finish this now, Seismic Toss!"
"I say apologize!" Ophiuchus said as both his fist and Scott's attack launched at the same time with both striking at the same time as Ophiuchus vanished.
"Ophiuchus has been eliminated." Magenta said.
"You okay, Ramona?" Scott asked helping her up.
"Yeah. I think so." Ramona said. "He took a lot out of my gauge...but I'm still standing."
"Yes...a perfect chance." Serpens said taking out poisoned needles. "Such a lovely scene. Bye bye love…" she said before something struck her. "What…." she said seeing a bomb arrow strike her as it went off as she vanished.
"Serpens has been eliminated." Magenta said.
"Who…" Ramona said as they saw Green Archer standing over them.
"Do not mistake this as kindness. I just can't standing seeing a downed woman being attacked. Especially one as beautiful as yourself." he said walking off.
"Just who is that guy?" Scott asked.
"Don't know, but whatever the case, he still saved us." Ramona said looking at her gauge. "Sorry. I don't think I'll be able to last another stage."
"Don't say that. When we're together...we can withstand anything. Heck...we'll go and take the win of this tournament together." Scott said.
"Scott… Alright. Let's keep going until the final two." Ramona said.
"Ah, such a wonderful display of love. The perfect way to close the book on this stage. We're now down to the top 56. The next stage is going to be…" Magenta said as the spinner started spinning before slowing to a stop. "Dressrosa!"
"Dressrosa, huh? Should be interesting to fight there." Hope said. "Let's do it."
The scene then shifted to Doflamingo's former kingdom as the competitors re-scattered across the town.
"A land of intense emotion and passion. I'm eager to see...what the developments are here." Magenta said.
