Before reading, I prefer to warn you in advance! This story is not mine! I was paid to write it, following instructions! For those who will be unhappy with the turn of the story, it is not to me that you should address yourself.

"Begin!" the Grand Priest announced, lowering his arm.

Immediately, Abomination's eyes widened, feeling Basil's foot sink into his belly. Having moved at full speed, the red fox had struck his opponent, before he could see him moving.

Feeling his feet slipping back, the monster spitting drool. But already Basil's foot appeared in front of his face. The second shock knocked Abomination onto his back.

Seeing Emil getting completely outplayed, after the match had started three seconds ago, Shang-Chi couldn't help but be impressed by Basil's skills, as he seemed to be much faster and more agile than him.

Doing a backflip to get away from Emil, Basil lands on his feet, before launching himself at full speed towards his opponent. Straightening up with difficulty, Abomination barely had time to open his eyes when he felt Basil's foot hit his face and eject him several meters backwards.

Lying on the ground, his body was only inches from ringside.

"But what is he doing?" Strange asked.

"Apparently there's a difference in power between them." Stan Lee affirmed, calmly.

"HAHAHAHA! Who do you think you're up against?" Rô asked, while displaying an arrogant smile. "Basil isn't just any warrior in our universe! He's a member of the Trio of Dangers, who are the top three fighters in our universe."

"Trio...of dangers?" Shang-Lee repeated.

"After hearing this, I forbid anyone to make any reflection on my name." Strange stated.

"Yes, that's a ridiculous name." Wong agreed.

For his part, Emil tried to get up again. But this time, he felt Basil hit his back and pull him back to the center of the field. Wanting to have more fun with his opponent, he then moved all around him, before hitting him in all directions.

Basil moved so fast that Emil felt like he was being hit by several people at the same time, while he could only cross his arms in front of him to protect himself from the attacks.

Seeing the match go quickly in Basil's favor, the Zenos looked disappointed.

"That sucks! One of them is way too weak. Yet it's the bigger one that's the weaker."

"Yes! This game is not fun to watch."

"Do you want me to arrest him, Zeno-sama?" the Grand Priest questioned, approaching him.

"No! We're going to watch it until the end."

"But hopefully it gets more interesting."

This time, Basil's knee hit Emil's chin, which flew into the air. Continuing to smirk, Basil suddenly vanished, before appearing on top of his opponent and delivering a powerful kick, which caused him to crash into the arena floor.

Then, performing several aerial acrobatics, the Red Wolf gracefully lands on the ground, opposite the crater where the Abomination's body lay.

"So it's over already?"

"Hahahaha!" Giggles Ro. "Here is the power of a pseudo-universe! HAHAHAHA! They don't stand a chance.."

Beginning to lose patience, Strange declared.

"I knew we should never have signed this guy! He's getting roughed up."

"Do you really think so?" Wong asked.

" Huh ? "

"I notice that you are someone who loses your temper easily, when you are unable to be able to predict the future." Wong affirmed.

Then, looking at the field, he assured.

"Emil is far from having shown the limit of his power! I think he is simply trying to know the power of his opponent."

Being sure of himself, he declared.

"Emil is just warming up."

"Warm up?" Shang-chi repeated.

At that moment, Emil's hand began to move again, and the huge monster finally got up, with his gaze lowered. Some surprise at seeing his on his feet again, Basil smirked.

"What? Haven't you had enough of my kicks? Do you really want me to keep humiliating you in front of everyone?"

In response, Abomination laughed.

"Huh?" Basil wondered. "Have you gone mad?"

Simply cracking the muscles in his neck, his opponent declared.

"I'm so sorry! During my fights against Wong, I thought it was just an impression! But, finally, I have to confess that these several years in prison have rusted my muscles! Nevertheless, you are by no means a worrying adversary. I even thank you for having massaged my muscles. "

"Excuse me?" Basil roared.

Being now the one with the smirk, Emil waved at him.

"Let's go! I'm waiting for you! And I hope you can hit harder than..."

Basil's foot hit his face and knocked him back. Also appearing behind Emil, the wolf struck his spine, causing Abomination to scream.

"Do you still like my massages? In that case, you will be entitled to a bonus."

Seeing him go back to hitting Emil, Kitela began to taunt Abomination.

"This guy is showing off, but he's a buffoon."

"It's true that he doesn't do anything to defend himself." Eyre stated. "For the moment, his chances of victory are almost zero."

Standing perfectly straight, Camparri watched the fight intently, while retorting.

"Kaioshin...if I may say so, your predictions may be a bit early."

"Huh?" Eyre wondered, looking at him.

Seeing Emil continue to stand, despite getting hit, the angel declared.

"He takes the punches he receives quite well! Given the power of his opponent's kicks, a normal fighter would have been defeated in a matter of moments."

For his part, also watching the fight carefully, Goku noticed that Basil's punches were getting more and more powerful.

"At the moment, he still hasn't shown his true power! Nevertheless, neither has his opponent! Perfect, when my turn comes, I'd be happy to face them."

"At the moment, I don't see anything special about this pseudo-universe person." Beerus retorted. "Knowing how to take kicks is one thing! But being able to win a fight is another."

Starting to think, he said.

"Finally, the power of the warriors of this universe is much weaker than those of the other two."

"What do you think of that statement, Goku-san?" Whis asked, with a small smile.

Putting on a more serious face, Goku declared.

"I don't know! Anyway, what I can say for sure is that the warriors of Universe 9 are strange."

"Do you mean their auras?" Whis asked.

"Yes." Goku affirmed. "Even trying to concentrate, I can't feel their ki! They look normal, but they manage to totally hide their ki, like Beerus does! And because of that, I can't determine their strength with precision! And that's what amuses me?"

"What is amusing you?" Shin wondered, seeing him smile.

"These people come from different universes, just like the gods around us." Goku assured, giving them an amused look. "There are guys our standards don't apply to! Powerful guys we've never seen, from all types of universes! I want to be able to compete against them."

"What about the pseudo-universe?"

At that mention, Goku fell silent again, as he watched Emil continue to take the attacks. Then, suddenly, his attention was captured by an aura that didn't come from the two fighters. Growing increasingly frustrated to see Emil being beaten, Strange struggled to keep his composure and his aura around him seemed to be increasingly visible.

" This guy... ? " The saiyan wondered.

"When will Emil get serious?" The ex-doctor roared.

"Hey, Universe 9 !"

Startled, people turned to the bleachers of Universe 7, while Goku waved to Universe 9.

"Huh?" Basil wondered, looking up at him. " What do you want ? "

"Stop playing! Hurry up and get serious so the real game can begin! I want to see your real power."

"What?" Basil growled, feeling insulted. "As if you ever need to be serious to win."

"No, that's a good idea."

Having just spoken, the leader of his team affirmed.

"Basil, this match is a great opportunity to show all the gods here that the Universe is not a weak universe at all."

Glancing at Emil, he said.

"Eliminates him quickly, and show this pseudo-universe that it has no reason to exist."

"Oh?" Basil said. "So I have the right to use my techniques to kill?"

"Just try not to finish him off! I know you're able to control yourself enough to keep from giving him the finishing blow."

"Tssss! Using my best techniques without being allowed to kill my prey." Basil said, looking disappointed. "It's really not fun."

"So you decide to get serious." Emil understood.

"Unfortunately for you, it is." The red wolf agreed. "But the good news is that you'll get to live a few extra minutes while your universe forfeits and Zenos-sama makes you disappear."

"Stop talking and fight." Abomination ordered him.

Feeling a vein forming on his forehead, Basil eventually unleashed much of his power, causing the pitch to shake.

"Huh?" Emil wondered, managing to feel Basil's aura.

Now visible, Basil's aura surrounded his left foot, as he affirmed.

"Here is my true power! Hope you enjoy."

Then he disappeared. Looking for him, Emil saw dust kicking up somewhere on the pitch where Basil had just set foot. Then, this phenomenon reproduces itself behind Emil.

Deliberately leaving clues to locate him, Basil kicked up dust with every step he took. But he kept running so fast that Emil was unable to see his body.

Unfortunately, he felt Basil's foot hitting the back of his head perfectly, with such force that his face hit the ground, cracking it.

"Ouch!" Shang-Chi said, grimacing. "I feel bad for him."

"Wong, don't take it personally but…this is the last time I'll listen to any of your advice." Strange affirmed.

For his part, even Wong hadn't been able to follow Basil's movements and he believed that this new level of power would destabilize Emil. And it was then, that Abomination struggled to his feet, as blood ran down his face. But suddenly, Basil's foot crushed his head, forcing him to hit the ground again.

"What now?" Basil asked, amusing himself with wiping his sole on Emil's head. "Do you finally understand the difference between you and me ? You're just a second class fighter! No, third class! You don't even deserve to become my target."

"Tssss! It's not even fun anymore." Rô affirmed, despite retaining his smirk. "Basil will have no trouble destroying this team, single-handedly."

Yet, suddenly raising his hands, Emil tried to grab Basil's legs. Reacting in time, the red wolf above him, before maintaining his flotation above the ground.

"I wonder if you're stupid or a masochist! In any case, if you ask for more, I won't hesitate to give you more."

Now making both of his legs glow, Basil managed to create an energy sphere at his feet.

" SHINING BLASTER. "

Punching into the sphere, the red wolf ejected it towards Emil.

" SAYONARA, LOOSER. "

Still, watching his sphere move at breakneck speed, Basil suddenly widened his eyes, seeing his attack come to a halt at Emil's hands.

" What ? "

Compressing the attack with all his might, Abomination blasted it away.

"Not bad." The monster affirmed, seeing the palms of his hand being burned. "You're really not a rookie."

"What does that mean?" Basil roared. "I should have defeated you."

"Because you seriously thought you could beat me that easily? You're even dumber than I thought."

Hearing this Basil dropped down towards him and resumed punching him hard. Feeling his attacks grind his muscles, Emil felt like he was being hit by steel battering rams. Nonetheless, remembering his fights against the Hulk, he declared.

"Yes! Hit me! Hit me again and again! I want to feel it! I want to feel this bestial force and overcome it."

"But you're going to fall?" Basil roared, hitting him again.

However, his leg was caught in Emil's hand, as the monster let out a huge scream. Raising Basil's body into the air, the monster ends up using it to brutally smash the ground, shattering several slabs.

" BASIL ? " S'apeura Roh.

"Warm-up's over." Emil assured.

Nevertheless, Basil's second foot hit him in the face, forcing him to step back and let go of the red wolf's other leg. Quickly getting to his feet, he jumped back, before groaning.

"Bitch! Do you honestly think you can humiliate the Trio of Danger, without suffering the consequences?"

"I don't care who you are." Emil retorted. "And you? Did you really believe that I was going to give up so easily? I don't care if my universe is destroyed! Nevertheless, it is out of the question for me to be killed! Can you understand that? But, nevertheless, I am disappointed with your performance."

" What ? "

"I admit your kicks are powerful." The monster affirmed, wiping the blood from his nose. "But that's not enough! I want you to use more power! I want you to reveal to me the limit of your power! And only then will I fight back! I'll crush you! And the only person left on this arena, this will be me."

"Grrrrr! I advise you to be careful what you say." Basil roared, baring his fangs. "Because I would make you regret it."

Suddenly suddenly in the air, he pointed his left foot at Emil, before spinning like a ballerina.

" SPIN HOPPER! " he shouted, while his body felt like a spinning top.

Then, his foot hit Abomination and pulverized part of the ground.

"EMIL!" Crai Wong, losing his temper.

"DAMN IT." Strange roared.

Basil laughed then.

"This game is now over! Unfortunately, it is always the dogs that bark the most, that are unable to bite."

"What? Are you giving up already?" Emil's voice questioned.

Startled, Basil looked down to notice that his foot had struck one of Abomination's arms, which he had crossed to protect his face. now being broken, the monster's arm was hanging out to the side. However, that wasn't going to stop her from fighting him.

Using his good fist, he took advantage that Basil was right in front of him, to hit him with all his might. Feeling the monster's fist hit his abdomen, Basil spat out saliva, as his feet slid back.

Gasping, he then dropped to one knee, groaning.

" You little ... "

Emil jumped up suddenly, before falling back to crush the red wolf with his huge fists. Doing a backflip to avoid it, Basil felt the ground vibrate as Abomination slammed into the ground.

Ignoring this detail, he made his feet shine again, before throwing several energy spheres.

" SHINING BLASTER ! "

Anticipating this movement, Emil hit the ground with all these forces and raised several slabs that formed a protection. Hitting them, Basil's attacks exploded and covered the field in smoke.

"Grrrr!" Basil growled. "Why doesn't he give up?"

Suddenly, several projectiles passed near his face, and one of them grazed his cheek, creating a scratch.

"What...?" the wolf wondered, feeling blood running down his cheek.

"And why should I give up?" Emil's voice questioned.

Letting the smoke clear, the monster was visible again, as he held a piece of slab in his hand, then clenching his fist, he smashed them into small pieces, which he then threw at Basil.

Taking on the aspect of revolver bullets, the projectiles had the same power as cannonballs. Noticing this, Basil hastened to avoid them by jumping. Unfortunately, two of them managed to pierce his right leg.

Grimacing in pain, he let his guard down, and Emil took the opportunity to charge at him. The monster's fist slammed into Basil's face, who flew backwards. But before he had a chance to figure this out Abomination grabbed his tail and went back to throwing his opponent's body against the ground several times.

Feeling his face hit the broken flagstones repeatedly, Basil could only spit up blood as his teeth cracked. Finally, another punch hit him and knocked him to the other end of the field.

"That's what I call a real end to the fight." Emil announced.

Then turning, to the rest of his team, he declared.

"I hope you'll tell that asshole prison warden that I did my duty in saving our universe."

Feeling fit to breathe again, Strange simply sat up, declaring.

" Not knowing the future has become a real ordeal for me. "

"Well…I guess that first match is over." The High Priest affirmed.

"N...No! Not yet!"

Standing up at that moment, Basil wiped the blood from his face, using his forearm, before declaring.

"I can still fight."

" Great, the fight continues. " rejoices a Zeno.

"Yes, but will this big dog really be able to match the strength of his opponent?"

" Basil, I forbid you to lose. " Ro shouted, who had stopped smiling.

"Shut up." Basil ordered her. "And give me what you know."

"Is this really a good idea?" Sidra asked, looking thoughtful.

"We don't care." Ro shouted, throwing a strange purple berry, in Basil's direction.

Opening its mouth, the red wolf swallowed the strange fruit and swallowed it without hesitation. Showing a surprised look, Emil eventually saw the muscles in his body increase tenfold, causing him to become much taller and more muscular.

"Doping?"

"OHHHHHHH!" Shouted the Zenos. "He got bigger."

"Yes, bigger."

Growling meanwhile, Strange asked.

"Is cheating allowed?"

"If you want my opinion, don't try to criticize something Zeno likes." Stan Lee retorted.

"Jee thinks your friend is telling the truth." The high priest affirmed, as he seemed to have heard their words. "It is true that the rules of this match have not been organized with much precision! For the moment, we will say that this is tolerated! But I doubt that this will be the case during the tournament.

"Tssss! We still have to be alive to participate." Strange growled.

"Can't we do anything to allow Emil to become more powerful?" Shang-chi asked.

"Cheat to win?" Wong asked. "I thought I taught you better than that."

At this moment, a sound of bones was heard. Pulling his damaged arm with all his might, Emil twisted it in various directions, until he managed to straighten it.

Grimacing in pain, while trying to close the fingers of his hand, he declared.

"My muscles are totally ruined! But that should be enough."

But already, Basil was in front of him, to hit him again. Using his fist to stop him, Emil felt a shock wave spread around them at the impact.

" Yes! There, you make me happy. " Abomination assured.

"When I send you to the graveyard, we'll see if you'll be as happy." Basil retorted, increasing the number of his kicks.

Thus, the spectators could see a fight opposed the kicks of Basil, against the punches of Emil, while the two combatants were of equal forces.

"Go ahead, Basil." Ro shouted. "Humble him."

"Tsssssss!" Strange growled, feeling a bead of sweat trickle down his forehead.

Suddenly, a kick from Basil managed to hit Abomination's abdomen, which knocked him back. Then, disappearing, Basil appeared above him, before striking the top of the skull several times, cracking the flagstones below the monster feet.

Finally, Emil fell to his knees, coughing up blood, along with a few bits of his teeth. Seeing him about to give up, Basil jumped into the air, before lighting up his legs.

"It's time to end this! WANGWOLF PRESSURE! "

Two energy spheres circled his feet, before targeting Emil.

Feeling the power of the attack, Emil suddenly cried out, before digging his fingers into the ground. Appearing then, numerous cracks covered a large part of the ground, while the bestial force managed to tear off a large part of the arena.

" WHAT ? " Shouted Rô.

Flexing the muscles in his arms, Emil glared at Basil, belaying.

"I'll show you the strength it took me to gain to match my true enemy."

He leapt into the air, as Basil launched his double attack. Spinning around, Emil then threw the piece of ground he was holding in his hands, which slammed into Basil's attack.

Seeing an explosion being created, Basil dropped down and walked through the cloud of smoke. Knowing full well where Emil was, he stepped out of the smoke, with his foot forward, ready to pulverize his opponent's skull.

But, to his surprise, he only hit the void.

"What?" the wolf wondered, not seeing anyone around him.

Then, a fist entered his field of vision. Seeming to see him move in slow motion, Basil simply stood still, before getting punched in the jaws.

"I'm stronger than you." Abomination roared, punching him.

Immediately, a comet fell from the sky to strike what was left of the ground. Spitting blood, Basil could only open it to see Emil falling in his direction, with both fists raised above him.

" SAYONARA ! "

Another impact noise was heard, while a large cloud of dust rose to cover the ground.

Remaining silent, the spectators of the pseudo-universe and Universe 9 stood still, while they only stared at the field. Finally, Emil's silhouette could be seen, as he stood.

Seeing this, Strange heaved a reassured sigh.

Nevertheless, grimacing in pain, the monster suddenly dropped to one knee, while Basil's numerous attacks had hurt him. Then, his body resumed his human aspect, while he coughed up blood.

Then, when the other part of the field was visible again, Basil could be seen too, hurt, dying...but still standing.

"Basil..." Rô rejoiced.

"You..." the wolf roared, staring at Emil. "I will...I will..."

He took a step forward. And that was the only step he could take. Feeling his eyesight clouding, as his pupils disappeared, the wolf's body eventually crumbled to the ground, as the effect of the drug wore off.

Returning to normal, Basil's body remained on the ground, while Emil moaned as he forced himself to his feet. Then, displaying an arrogant smile, he assured.

"This is my victory."

Waiting a few seconds, the High Priest finally nodded, before raising his arm.

"The winner of this first fight is the pseudo-universe."

Then, turning to the Zenos, he asked.

"How did you enjoy this game?"

"The beginning was quite boring…" affirmed the first Zeno.

"Nevertheless, the ending was fun." The second Zeno chimed in.

"We want to see another fight."

"It's okay! Wait a while, so I can fix the pitch. "

Raising his arm, he teleported Basil and Emil off the field, and made them appear in their stands. Dropping to the ground, Emil groaned.

"That stupid animal broke my arms."

"Don't worry! If we win, you will have the right to have the visit of the best doctors in our world." Wong assured.

"Tssss! I deserve at least another permission to go fight somewhere."

"We'll see about that."

Then, turning to Strange, Emil gave him an arrogant smile.

"I don't have the right to a compliment?"

"Let's win this fight and then we'll see." Strange retorted.

"Too kind. "

Suddenly, what was left of the field lit up and a brand new arena appeared.

"Wow, if we could do that, after every disaster, to fix cities..." Shang-chi said.

"Let the next competitors enter the field."

"Okay, it's my turn." Shang-chi affirmed.

However, as he took a step forward, Wong grabbed the back of his clothes, before telling him.

" Be careful. "

" Huh ? "

"These guys won't hesitate to cheat to try to win! So, above all, don't hesitate at any time to defeat your opponent! Remember that defeat is not an option."

Simply putting on a serious face, Shang-chi retorted.

"You don't have to tell me."

Then, jumping to join the field, he declared.

"I have too much to lose to dare to give victory to my opponent."

Appearing in turn, Lavander was his opponent. Displaying a sinister gaze, the yellow wolf bared its fangs as it affirmed.

"It looks like we've underestimated you! Unfortunately, that won't happen twice."

Opening and closing his fists several times he declared.

"I'm going to slash you and make you regret ever meeting me! And your universe will understand that it would have been better to give up all along."

In response, Shang-chi got into a fighting stance.

"Let the second fight, ... begin."
