(The Arena)

The twelve remaining fighters waited for the next round to begin. While Bowser and Bonus-Kun were more than eager to fight, Lucas, Kairi and even Rainbow Dash were starting to wish that the section would come later. Suddenly, they all heard cheering causing them to look up.

"TIFFANY LORDS!" (RS)

The blonde cheerleader came out to a loud cheer from the male audience. She smiled before blowing kisses to the crowd thinking it was normal cheering.

"Thank you, everyone!" Tiffany smiled. "I really appreciate it! I love each and every one of you!"

Tiffany was so busy playing to the crowd that she couldn't tell that she was heading to the edge of the ramp. By the time she realized this, it was too late. She was falling towards the conversation between Richard, Lucas and Olimar.

"Whoa! Watch out!" Tiffany shouted. Lucas looked up far too late.

CRASH!

Richard and Olimar looked with wide eyes. Tiffany had crashed chest-first straight into Lucas pinning him to the ground.

"Like, oh my gosh! I am SOOO sorry!" Tiffany said helping Lucas up. "I am not normally this clumsy! Are you all right?"

Lucas looked down with his face beet-red. "Um, yes."

Tiffany raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? You look like you got a huge fever."

Richard growled as he crossed his arms before looking to the side. "Lucky runt."

"CHIPP ZANUFF!" (GG)

The white-haired ninja crossed his arms with a smirk eyeing the ring. Once he was done, he nodded before darting to the ring and leaping in.

He made a beeline at an alarming speed skidding in front of Rainbow Dash startling her.

"Where the hoof did you come from?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"The Ready Room. You just didn't saw me because you blinked." Chipp challenged. "Now I heard a lot of about your speed. But can you keep up with a ninja?"

Rainbow Dash narrowed her eyes. "I just eliminated someone who was as fast as a ninja! As far as I am concerned, that gave me practice to fight an actual one!"

Chipp merely smirked. "Speed may be a key factor to being a ninja but not the only one, kiddo."

"IKE!" (SSB)

The fangirls cheered for the blue-haired mercenary. Patting his two-handed sword on his shoulder, he nodded before running down the edge of the arena and jumped in.

Despite curious of Lucas' red face, he made his way over to Kairi.

Kairi saw him coming and raised an eyebrow. "May I help you?"

"Yes, I am looking for a fight and despite your appearance, you have a lot of skill." Ike noted.

Kairi paused for a moment. "What do you mean by appearance?"

Ike shrank back. "Um, well. It's just that you wear bright pink and your weapon has flowers and sparkles on it and…"

Kairi narrowed her eyes looking surprisingly annoyed. "You know, I don't consider myself a tomboy but I find it annoying that a girl can't like girlie things without being seen as weak!"

"No, I didn't mean like that!" Ike insisted.

"You say I have a lot of skill, well I intend to show you all of it!" Kairi said getting into a stance. "Raise that sword of yours!"

Ike sighed before getting into a stance. "Great, now I made look like a sexist idiot."

On the other hand, Kairi gave a small smirk. "That was fun. I do feel a little sorry for him though."

"MARTA LUALDI!" (To)

(You're the one that makes me feel so high)

(Just like the diamonds in the sky)

(I never want to hear you say goodbye)

(Cause you're my diamond in the sky)

(You're the one that makes me feel so high)

(Just like the diamonds in the sky)

(I never want to hear you say goodbye)

(Cause you're my diamond in the sky)

The white-haired brunette came to "Diamonds in the Sky" from Sonic R. She looked up at the Eliminated Seating and waved to Emil as if her hand was on fire. It was clear that she played that song just for him. Emil blushed as he nervously scratched the back of his head.

Once she was done, she skipped off to the ring with her disc-like weapon on her wrist and leaped in with Banjo & Kazooie watching her.

"Ah, isn't that romantic?" Banjo smiled.

"Yeah, it is all roses and chocolates." Kazooie said. "But then there are bills, bankruptcy and snot-nosed little brats!"

"Photon!"

A ball of light appeared behind Kazooie's head where it exploded striking him. Shaking her head, she looked to see Marta angrily tapping her foot.

"Um, I think she heard you." Banjo said.

Kazooie grumbled under her breath. "I am never going to get married."

"M. BISON!" (SF: EX)

The red-clad dictator came out to a mixed reaction. However he didn't paid it any mind as he gave a dark chuckle before floating to the end of the ramp as the fighters looked at him getting into his stance.

However once he got in, he heard heavy footsteps. Turning his head, he saw Bowser lumbering over with a smirk.

"You!" Bison said narrowing his eyes in hatred.

"Ah, you remember me?" Bowser smirked.

Bison growled before getting in a stance. "You shall will pay for ruining my plans at the second tournament!"

"Hey, your cronies annoyed me, I ruin your plans. Fair is fair." Bowser said. "So ready to lose Round 2?"

Bison growled summoning dark energy in his fist. "No. I am ready to win."

Meanwhile, Richard, Lucas and Olimar looked at the scene.

"This is the head honcho, right?" Richard asked. "Shouldn't we do something?"

Olimar looked surprised at this. "You mean fight Bison!? I don't care how many eliminations we got! We won't be able to fight him!"

"Besides, Bowser is fighting." Lucas said. "And if it's one thing he hates besides the Mario Bros, is people interrupting his fights."

"All right… So what now?" Richard asked putting his hand on his side.

"SOIREE MEIRA!" (KoF: MI)

The teal-clad gangster played to the crowd (especially the screaming fan-girls.) Once he was done show-boating, he walked down to the ring.

"The only girls in the arena either already have boyfriends or are not human at all." Soiree lamented. "I guess I just have to find someone to pass the time until a cute girl comes out."

With that, he jumped in and into the ring and ran over to Richard. The bartender looked in time to get a kick to the face causing him to stagger back in pain surprising Lucas and Olimar.

"What the heck, Soiree?" Richard said rubbing his jaw.

"I am just looking for a fight." The white-haired man grinned.

"But we are representing the same node!" Richard scolded.

"So that doesn't mean we have to double-team." Soiree said. "Besides, we agreed that we would figure out which Capoeira style is better. Your traditional style or my snazzy style?"

Richard paused for a moment before sighing. "Okay, you got me. Put up your knees."

(Recovery Room)

Jude, Faust, Blaze and Joy looked in disbelief at Tiny Tiger.

"So let me get this straight." Jude asked. "You are working with BISON?"

Tiny nodded. "Yes."

"How could you?" Jude asked in disbelief. "Do you realize how twisted that man is?"

Tiny slowly looked down. "Tiny know. But Boss want Tiny to fight for Bison."

"And why should we trust YOU now you admitted you were working for him?" Blaze said crossing her arms.

Tiny winced before looking down.

"Blaze, this is the person who carried you here in the first place!" Joy scolded.

"Indeed. Why save you?" Jude asked. "Right, Tiny…"

The tiger didn't reply. He merely looked down as if unable to answer the question.

"Also, you should be lucky that your saviour is working for Bison." Jude said causing everyone to look at him in confusion.

"Really?" Joy asked.

"Yes. Maybe if Tiny asks, he could find out how to extract the power out of Blaze." Jude said.

"Indeed." Faust nodded.

Tiny looked back and forth between Jude and Faust. "Um, doctors sure Tiny is best for this?"

"Um, yes, doctors sure." Faust said. "Why?"

Tiny looked down. "Tiny no good at science."

Faust put a finger to his bagged lip. "Hm. Good point. Perhaps this would require someone with a better knowledge of the subject."

Suddenly, his uncovered eye widened.

"Tiny?"

The giant looked up. "Um, yes?"

"Is there any villains from MY node working for Bison?" Faust asked.

Tiny looked down in thought. "Yes. One. A red witch with pretty green guitar."

"I-No." Faust said narrowing his eye. "That's it. I think I know what to do."

"Yes?" Jude said.

"I'll join the conspiracy!"

Everyone jumped at this.

"Excuse me?" Joy asked in surprise.

"Yes, if I joined them. I would be able to get some more information from Dr. Eggman Nega." Faust nodded. "I may not be a villain but it is very easy to think I am one."

Everyone looked away wondering if they should say anything.

"Tiny, could you take me to Bison and tell him I am a new recruit?" Faust asked.

Tiny raised an eyebrow. "Um, okay. Bison may be in arena but Tiny tell others."

"Thank you." Faust said before looking down at Jude and Joy. "May I count on you to hold down the fort while I am gone?"

"Um, don't worry. We will." Jude said.

"You two be careful now please." Joy pleaded.

The two nodded.

Tiny then turned to Blaze. "Um, Purple Cat is Blaze right?"

"Um, yes?" The princess nodded.

"Don't worry. Tiny find cure." The tiger said before turning to Faust. "Let's go."

Faust nodded before he and Tiny walked out of the room with Jude, Joy and Blaze watching.

"Why…? Why is he helping me?" Blaze asked. "Isn't he a villain?"

Jude raised an eyebrow. "I don't know. There has to be some kind of reason why he was helping us?"

(Dome; Security Team Room)

Vivi patiently waited on the sofa for the others to return. He had woken up a while ago and he was feeling more refreshed.

"Cheetahs are supposed to be crafty! What happened to you?"

"I said I was sorry!"

Vivi looked up to see the rest of the security team walked in looking upset.

"Hey, Vivi. How are you feeling?" Mel smiled.

"Much better, thank you." The black mage nodded. "So how did the search go?"

"Decently enough. We had managed to warn a few people." Ally said before growling. "Oh and Hunter attacked an innocent fighter."

"Good freaking gravy! How many times do I have to say I am sorry?" Hunter apologized. "Look, I watched Digimon a few times and when he was shown, he was a villain. How was I supposed to know that he is not working for the villains anymore?"

"That's not even what I am mad at you about, Hunter!" Ally scolded. "What was you thinking going after him by yourself! You could have been hurt!"

"Trust me. I know." The archer said rubbing his arm.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ally asked. "Villain or not, we should had interrogated him together! There is a reason why Tinyrocket formed a Security TEAM!"

"I am only trying to help!" Hunter said looking up.

"Then, help out by being a team player!" Ally scolded. "Next time, you could have told me!"

"You would had ignored and hit me if I continued to tell you!" Hunter insisted.

"Got you there." Branky piped up.

"Shh! Branky!" Mel scolded.

Suddenly, something started to ring. Ally reached into her pocket and pulled out a cell phone putting it to her ear.

"Hello?" The redhead said as someone spoke on the phone. "What!? Who? Uh-huh! Are they still there? No? Oh, I see. Thank you for telling us anyway."

"What's wrong, Ally?" Mel asked.

"Two fighters got into a fight and one of them had to be hospitalized." The boxer said causing the others to gasp.

"This is getting out of control!" Hunter insisted. "This is exactly why I went to fight that Digimon! We are running out of time!"

"That still doesn't justify your actions." Ally scolded. "But you are right. We are running out of time. Vivi, are you sure you are all right?"

The mage slowly nodded. Ally returned the nod.

"Good. Now come on."

(The Arena)

"EDWARD FALCON!" (PS)

The red-clad pilot's cheer was the loudest for the Power Stone representatives so far. Then again, he was the main character. Hopping up and down to get himself psyched, he ran down to the ring and jumped in.

"My node seriously needs another elimination to its name." Falcon mused looking around. "They can use another one."

Suddenly, Bonus-Kun hopped over to him. "Ah, a passionate young man with a fire in his heart. You remind me of Rai."

Falcon blinked twice. "Um, thank you."

"No problem. But I would really like it if you would spar with me!" Bonus-Kun grinned.

"Well, this is weird even for my node." Falcon said before smirking and getting into a boxing stance. "But I am never one to turn down a fight! Come on!"

"DHAOS!" (To)

Marta froze in her place before looking at the entrance curtain. "Uh-oh."

"What's wrong?" Banjo asked.

"That." Marta said pointing up.

Just like Bison, the blonde king came out to a mixed reaction but chose to ignore it. He floated down to the ring deciding to help out Bison with Bowser.

However once he was in, he saw Marta, Banjo & Kazooie walking over.

"May I help you?" Dhaos asked crossing his arms.

Marta merely narrowed his eyes. "You are a very dangerous man. And it was bad enough without Bison in the arena with you."

"Agreed." Banjo said in a surprisingly stern tone. "I may not like fighting but I will not stand back and let someone like you run around the arena."

Dhaos looked back and forth between the two before laughing. "Foolish beings! You have no idea what you are up against!"

"Hey, wouldn't be the first time we faced a magic-using villain." Kazooie said.

"And now, Mystery Fighter… Number… Seventeen!"

"JULIET STARLING!" (Lollipop Chainsaw)

The teenaged zombie-slaying cheerleader (Yeah, you read right.) came out to a loud cheer which was impressive considering that she was still a bit relatively-new to the gaming world. Placing a lollipop in her mouth, she ran down to the ring wielding her chainsaw and jumped in.

"Time to have some fun!" Juliet grinned.

Tiffany blinked twice before walking over. "Omigosh! You are a cheerleader too?"

"I know, right?" Juliet said before doing a chant. "San Romero is the best!"

"Wow? I had met a lot of cheerleaders but never one that could fight!" Tiffany said.

"I know! Those types always either getting killed off or are the damsel-in-distress." Juliet said rolling her eyes. "So not fair!"

Bowser and Bison watched the two girls talk before looking at each other.

"Actually, I want to spike your head over there." Bowser said walking off.

"Agreed." Bison said following him.

"WOLF O'DONNELL!" (SSB)

The leader of StarWolf came out to a loud cheer. With a smirk, he put his hands on his hips before rushing down to the ring and leaping in.

Once in, he got out his blaster and fired a shot into Bison's back.

"Fool! Do you really think you can beat me with toy guns?" Bison demanded.

"Back off, Wolf! This is MY fight!" Bowser snapped.

"Tough luck, Bowser." The lupine smirked. "The bounty on this guy's head is a beauty. There is no way I am not claiming it."

Bowser growled. "Just don't get in my way."

"It's not nice to steal other people's lines." Wolf said.

"LILLY KANE!" (KoF: MI)

The blonde kid sister of Billy Kane nervously scanned the arena holding her green staff. She shuddered when she saw that Bison in the ring remembering what happened at the first Megamix Tournament.

"Never thought I would be so grateful of those two Smashers but at least they are keeping him out of harm's way." Lilly noted stepping into the ring.

Deciding on ROB, she stepped over to the robot. "Excuse me but can we have a fight?"

ROB tilted his head to the side. "Query. You had stated to have a dislike of violence."

"I did. When it is used as the only way to solve a conflict." Lilly said readying her staff. "However, this tournament is for fun, I decided to join the tournament anyway."

"Reasoning confirmed as sound. Very well. Let's begin." ROB said readying his arms.

"RIPPER ROO!" (CB)

The blue kangaroo-like creature came out to a loud cheer laughing like a maniac. Hopping up and down with his arms in a strait jacket, he bounded into the ring with Pinstripe watching him.

"Finally, someone who would help me!" Pinstripe said before shouting. "Yo, Double R! Why don't you help me out with Crash here?"

Ripper Roo did an insane laugh. Swinging his foot forward, he sent a TNT crate at Crash and Pinstripe causing them to go wide-eyed.

BOOM!

Crash and Pinstripe were in different directions of the arena before landing hard.

Pinstripe coughed out a bit of soot. "Ah, yes. It is all coming back to me!"

(Hotel; Lobby)

Snake's party watched as the doctors put Espio onto a stretcher. Gemel was trying to comfort a teary-eyed Tails.

"Well, Princess Estelle. How is he?" Flynn asked.

The pink-haired princess shook her head. "Well, he should be all right but the injuries are quite deep. He may need to rest for two days."

Everyone looked upset at this.

"Well, do your best, Princess." Flynn said politely.

Estelle nodded before turning to the others. "Well, take him back to the Recovery Room , guys."

With that, she along with the other doctors walked off leaving the others disheartened.

"Well, at least Espio is going to be all right." Guilmon said.

"Yes but in the state he is in, he won't be able to tell us what he learned." Chloe lamented.

Snake looked down at his feet with his eyes closed. Suddenly, a small growl escaped his mouth. Suddenly, he turned to punch the side of the wall much to everyone's surprise.

"I don't freaking believe this!" Snake growled. "Not only are we back to square one but we lost three allies! How did this happen?"

"Maybe because we are out of our league…"

Everyone turned to Tails.

"Are we really that strong to take on so many villains at once by ourselves? Are we arrogant thinking we can win?" The fox said wiping away his tears.

Everyone looked down in thought. After all, they were a bunch of complete strangers heading towards a similar goal. They had never fought people like these villains. Were they really out of their league?

"Well, no one else is going to do it…" Guilmon piped up.

Everyone turned to the Digimon.

"I mean we are the only ones who knew about it." Guilmon said. "If no one is going to do it, who will?"

Chloe paused before narrowing her eyes. "Guilmon is right. The losses we had taken were devastating but we cannot give up."

"Indeed. Everyone in this hotel could be in danger but we are the only ones who know about it." Flynn said narrowing his eyes.

Everyone slowly nodded.

"But what can we do?" Tails asked.

"How about we find a villain and make him tell us everything?" Chloe asked before narrowing her eyes. "And this time, we are NOT taking no for an answer!"

"How about Snake?" Luigi asked.

"What about me?" The mercenary asked confused.

"Oh, right! They are after you!" Fio said. "Perhaps it would be best if you…"

"Now look here! I was the one that formed this investigation team in the first so technically I am the leader!" Snake snapped. "And I would not be talked to like a little kid!"

Everyone jumped as they stared at the mercenary. Some of them looked annoyed by this attitude.

Luigi then stepped forward. "Snake?"

"What?" Snake said grumpily.

"What happened to Crunch and Nash wasn't your fault." Luigi said looking down.

Snake paused for a moment before staring at the plumber with a stunned face. He then narrowed his eyes.

"Look, we are wasting no time." Snake said walking off. "Let's go."

"Snake!" Luigi said stepping forward only for the brown-haired man to already walk away. Luigi looked down as Flynn placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

(Dome; Hallway)

Shoma's group waited impatiently in a corridor. Suddenly, they all heard footsteps coming their way. Turning their heads, they saw Fox and Shadow walking over.

"Where have you been?" Shoma growled.

"Getting our equipment." Shadow said holding up a pistol.

"We both left them in our rooms so we needed to go back and get them." Fox said.

"What kind of mercenaries leaves all of their equipment in their room?" Shoma asked in disbelief.

"First off, we didn't leave ALL of our equipment!" Shadow scolded. "We didn't even bring all of them to the ring."

Fox nodded. "We need all the help we could get to face Bison."

Shoma shook his head. "Look, can we go to the Recovery Room already?"

"What is YOUR deal?" Samus asked pointing up to a screen. "Richard is still in the arena!"

"Whatever. Let's go." Shoma said readying his bat.

The others shook his head and followed him. Suddenly, Shadow stopped.

Astaroth saw this and stopped as well. "Is something wrong, man?"

Shadow merely looked back. "Whoever is there come out because you suck at stealth."

Everyone looked back to see a figure advancing forward.

Most of them gaped to see Barbatos Goetia with a big grin.

"Meh. I never was into stealth, anyway." Barbatos grinned.

"Not you again!" Samus exclaimed readying her arm cannon.

"That's right." Barbatos said patting his axe into his hand. "We meet again!"

"What do you want?" Fox demanded pointing his blaster.

"Well, I WAS hired to take down that kid." Barbatos said pointing to Shoma. "But now that I know that you are trying to take us down, I have no choice to kill you all!"

"Oh yeah! Bring it, ugly!" Shoma growled readying himself.

"Are you out of your mind?" Ayame exclaimed. "It took SEVEN people to take this creep down!"

"So? There are ten of us!" Shoma said.

"Don't underestimate this guy, kid!" Samus said. "It is easy to get killed by this guy."

"You don't say."

Astaroth then stepped forward with a smirk.

"Guys, you go on ahead." Astaroth said. "I'LL hold this guy off."

Everyone looked surprised by this. Even Barbatos raised an eyebrow.

"Are you crazy!?" Wang-Tang exclaimed. "This guy could easily kill you."

"All the better for me to fight him." Astaroth said. "I am a hard egg to crack so you don't have to worry about me dying."

Fox looked down at Shadow. "Shadow, he's your friend, isn't he? Talk some sense into him!"

Shadow chuckled. "There is no changing Astaroth's mind once he made it up. Besides, I have faith in his strength and endurance."

Everyone else looked at each other and nervously nodded wishing Astaroth luck.

"Go for it, man!" Shadow shouted.

Astaroth nodded before getting into his stance.

"You must be pretty confident in your strength to agree to face me alone." Barbatos noted.

"Oh but I do!" Astaroth said with a grin. "Plus I could sense a great soul from you! It would feed me big time! So shut up and raise your axe!"

Barbatos smirked before getting into a stance. "Well, at least I could say I face a victim with the same mindset as me.

(The Arena)

"NACK THE WEASEL!" (StH)

The purple-furred spun his popgun in his hand with a chuckle as he casually made his way down to the ring. Despite his calm face, he was upset over something. He was apparently was a target of some kind of kidnapping plot and a boxer had warned him about it. Perhaps he shouldn't mingle in the hotel after he gets eliminated.

Once he was at the end of the ramp, he used his tail to launch him into the air and landed right behind Yoshi.

"Okay, dino-breath!" Nack yelled pointing out his gun. "Put your hands up!"

Yoshi yelped before raising his arms in the air.

"Wow, that was easy." Nack mused. "Now jump out of the arena so I could have an elimination."

Yoshi heard this and narrowed his eyes. Using his flutter jump, he surprised Nack and leaping behind him and kicking him in the back.

Nack staggered forward before turning around aiming his gun. "Figures. There is always a catch."

"DR. NITRUS BRIO!" (CB)

The yellow-skinned scientist nervously looked at the arena with a deep gulp. Holding two beakers in his hands, he made his way down to the ring and jumped in.

Once in, he saw Lucas and Captain Olimar. Seeing that they were a bit beat up, he decided to go over and fight them first.

Lucas saw him coming. "Heads up, Captain Olimar. Another fighter is coming our way."

"Well at least, he is about our size." The astronaut said. "May we help?"

"Y-Y-Y-You two had been in the arena f-f-f-f-for a long time." Brio said. "S-S-S-Surely you two are w-w-w-weakening."

"So we are threats now." Olimar said with a sigh. "I don't know whether to be flattered or worried.

"And now, Mystery Fighter… Number… Eighteen!"

"THE UNDERTAKER!" (WWE)

The crowd cheered as a dark, gloomy song played sounding like it should play at a funeral. The black-clad wrestler slowly walked down the ramp with his trademark hat and coat.

Once he was finally in, he made his way over to the fight between Bison against Bowser and Wolf.

Bison dodged a claw swipe only to receive a punch to the face from the Undertaker. "What the?"

Bowser grunted in annoyance. "It is the second Megamix Tournament all over again! What is YOUR reason for interrupting this fight?"

The Undertaker punched his fist in his palm. "This guy had eluded death for far too long. I think it is time that someone buries him for good."

Bison narrowed his pupil-less eyes. "Fool. Take a number and wait in line with Chun-Li and Guile but I am not going to lose anytime soon!"

"ARAKUNE!" (BB)

Everyone looked in awe and/or disgust as a black and red liquidly shadow with a blue mask appeared out of the Ready Room. Slithering down the ramp, he jumped in.

Juliet saw him come in and narrowed her eyes. "Tiffany, how good are you at fighting black, disgusting shadowy blobs?"

The Pacific High Student blinked twice. "Huh?"

"Never mind." Juliet said shaking her head. "Just help me with that thing."

"Um, okay." Tiffany said as the two cheerleaders advanced.

"Okay, big guy!" Juliet said revving up her chainsaw. "Time for a San Romero/Pacific combo!"

Arakune merely did a strange growl while showing its bony bug-like bones.

"Ew! Nasty!" Juliet and Tiffany said in unison.

"HAYATE!" (SF: EX)

The brown-haired samurai took his katana out of his sheath and scanned the arena. Once he confirmed his target, he nodded his head before making his way down to the end of the ramp and jumped.

Ike and Kairi ran each other readying their weapons. However when they swung their swords, a third sword slashed with them startling them. They both turned to see Hayate.

"Hey! What was THAT for?" Ike demanded.

"My apologies but I am from the Street Fighter node." Hayate said.

"Um, what does that have to do with anything?" Kairi asked with a raised eyebrow.

"The number of swordsmen in my node are quite limited." Hayate said. "I wanted to fight a fellow swordsman and you two are the ones in the arena."

Ike raised an eyebrow. "Well, what do you think?"

Kairi merely smirked. "I wouldn't mind a threesome!"

Ike returned the smirk. "All right. Let's begin."

"And now, the final fighter of this section…"

"JADE CURTISS!" (To)

Dhaos' pupils shrank before looking up at the entrance curtain.

The brown-haired colonel adjusted his glasses as the crowd cheered him. With his hands behind his back, he casually made his way down the ramp and stepped in.

He then calmly made his way over to Dhaos, Marta and Banjo & Kazooie.

"Um, greetings, Jade. What a lovely tournament we are having!" Dhaos said sheepishly.

"Indeed it is." The blue-clad man said with a small smirk. "Tis a pity that you are not going to be around for long to enjoy it."

Dhaos gulped nervously.

"Marta, could you fend Dhaos for a while until I get you-know what ready?" Jade asked.

"Sure, Jade." The brunette nodded.

"Um, what IS you-know-what?" Kazooie asked raising an eyebrow.

"Help me and hopefully you would find out very soon." Marta said slashing at Dhaos.
