The two corrupt sorcerers grinned at each other, as if they were trying to out-bluff each other. "Oh, please. I find it laughable that you were ever considered my equal. I know a charlatan with meager parlor tricks when I see one." Facilier's smile broke at Jafar's words. "Don't you disrespect me, little man, for you're in my world now!" It's was Jafar's turn to break his smile. "Little?! You have no comprehension of my power!"
At his words, Jafar changed his form into that of a massive cobra. Fangs gleaming as he loomed over his opponent, he was annoyed that Facilier merely glared at him. "You still dare to defy my might?! Then I shall give you a taste of true fear!" Lunging forward, Jafar prepared to bite, only to suddenly reel back with a scream of pain. Moving his tail to one of his eyes, he looked around to see who poked it, only to see Facilier just standing there. "What did you do, you – AAAAAAAAA!" Jafar reeled back again to another jab to his other eye, momentarily blinding him. Facilier just chuckled. "It pays to have friends on the other side." After giving his sentient shadow a high-five, he reached into his coat and pulled out some powder and blew it in Jafar's direction.
When the powder hit Jafar, he began to change. He was still huge, but his snake form was exchanged with that of a genie. Looking at his new form, Jafar began to laugh. What is the point of giving your opponent power? You have only hastened your destruction!" Facilier wasn't looking at him, instead he was reaching for something on the ground. "Just thought you should learn, that everything has a price." Holding up his hand, he revealed that what he picked up was a lamp. A lamp that began to suck Jafar in. Jafar went in with a howl as Facilier told him to hush. After the deed was done, the lamp vanished.
The Gamer gave a soft clap. "Very clever, Dr. Facilier, bravo. But now for our next match, between the Super Speedster Dash, and Peter Pan, the boy who'll never grow up!"
It was a literally fast match. Dash's speed allowed him to control the pace, but Peter Pan's flight kept him out of reach from any attacks. A match between speed and flight looked like it would be an annoying stalemate, but Dash quickly had an idea. He began running in a circle at top speed, creating a mini tornado that sucked Peter in. Unable to fight it, Peter was flung around helplessly, teleporting out before he passed out.
"Well done Dash, and thanks for the breeze! The AC was on the blink. And now to the next match, between the Sea Witch Ursula, and the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington!"
"That's who I have to fight? Oh, you poor, unfortunate soul, darling! You desperately need some meat on your bones!" Jack wasn't listening, he was too intrigued at what he saw. "My, what a frightening creature you are! Have you ever participated in Halloween festivities?" Ursula froze for only a moment before lashing out with her tentacles. Jack, being as slim and nimble as he is, dodged them with ease. However, when he tried to get in close, he got his head knocked off.
Ursula froze again at that. "Wasn't he supposed to vanish before that? I'm not out for killing him, am I?" Before she got an answer, she felt something touch a tentacle. She turned around to see Jack's body still moving, and reaching for his head. "Don't worry madam, for I'm already dead, as I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotation." Seeing the head talk was a bit of a shock, one that made Ursula jump back a few feet. "Oh, that is ghastly even by my standards." Jack just smiled as he put his head back on. "If you think that's ghastly….RAAAAAAAAAA!"
Jack pulled back on the corners of his mouth, revealing a big circle of fangs. It had enough of an effect on Ursula to launch her attacks more erratically, making them easier to read. Jack ran forward, evading the tentacles and vanishing from Ursula's sight. Before Ursula could collect herself enough to wonder where her opponent went, he appeared out of nowhere with a loud –
"BOO!"
The sudden appearance of the skeleton's face with an aura of terror proved too much, and Ursula fainted on the spot.
"A true master of the craft, he is. But now, it's time for the final match of Round 1. The Queen of Arendelle, Elsa, vs Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil!"
Maleficent gave a soft laugh. "A mere queen? I can bring an entire kingdom to its knees! Just one queen is nothing!" Elsa just gave a smirk. "You sure have a cold attitude. Luckily, the cold doesn't bother me anyway."
"What is that supposed to – AAAAGH!" A cold wind interrupted Maleficent before she could finish. Looking to see the frost coming from Elsa's hands, she realized that she had miscalculated. Quickly collecting herself, she summoned up her thorns to surround and close in on Elsa. The thorns quickly covered up Maleficent's view of her opponent. Only silence came from them. But before Maleficent could claim her victory, the darkness of the vines was replaced with a light icy blue, before shattering into countless fragments.
Elsa needed a moment to get her bearings, an opportunity Maleficent fully claimed. She let loose with eldritch lightning, aiming straight for Elsa. Seeing the fast, Elsa shot wildly on reflex. The off-balance recoil caused her to fall, barely dodging the mystical blast. Her shot was equally lucky, freezing the ground and causing Maleficent to slip. Righting herself up with her staff, there was no hiding the anger in her eyes.
"You dare to humiliate me, child?! There will be no escape, from the FULL FURY OF MY WRATH!" Maleficent surrounded herself with a green fire that grew bigger and bigger until it dissipated, revealing a dragon staring down at Elsa. But Elsa was ready this time. When Maleficent let loose with her flame, Elsa sent forth an icy blast at the same time. Meeting head-on, the two opposing forces went into a stalemate, neither side giving an inch.
Maleficent would have to stop for a brief moment to catch her breath, which also allowed Elsa some rest, but not much as Maleficent proved a tricky opponent, maneuvering her head to unleash her fire at different angles, trying to catch Elsa off-guard. Elsa was on her toes, but she wasn't out yet. Mustering one last charge, she poured everything she got into one final blast that overpowered, Maleficent's fire, and froze her mouth shut. Elsa's legs gave out and she slumped to the floor, only to see that her opponent was still there.
Maleficent was not happy, but she was impressed. This was the longest that anyone has been able to last against her. And seeing her opponent on the ground make her glad. But she still had to strike the final blow, and she wanted the ice off before that happened. Striking the side of the arena with her head and building up heat in her mouth, she melted the ice and got ready to attack. But a surprising sight caused her to hesitate.
"Why are you smiling?"
"Because I wasn't just resting, I was also calling in some friends."
Maleficent looked the floor surrounding Elsa to see that it was covered in ice. And tiny snowmen were popping out of it, surrounding her. Moving fast, she used her feet and tail to slam away the Snowgies, only to realize too late that it was a distraction. Hearing some rumbling, she turned to see a giant snow monster running towards her, before dealing a massive blow to her face, dazing her and knocking her down. "Good job Marshmallow, I'll take it from here." Elsa finished it by freezing Maleficent all over, making her vanish as a result.
"HOOOOOOOOOLLLYYYYYYYYYY COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW! That was the most intense fight yet! You all now have some major expectations to fight up to now! But for now, that concludes the first round. We'll be taking another break for repairs, and begin Round 2, with Wreck-It Ralph and Hercules!"
