I do not own any of the characters, don't sue me.

As Roy and Link entered the huge building, they saw tons of desks, all filled with lines. Some of the people standing in line Roy and Link recognised as the famous fighters Goku, Ryu, Duke Nukem, Squall Leonheart, Sonic the hedgehog and more famous fighters. He could see they were no rookies, so he went to another line, with a sign above it that said "New Entrants". That line was not all that long, but it gave Roy and Link the time to talk a bit.

Roy: "Whoa! Look at all those famous fighters! I doubt it that i would ever be strong enough to beat them."

Link: "Aww, no man, you'll beat them. But i think it's not gonna be an easy task. Better train up dude."

Roy: "Maybe you're right."

Receptionist: "Next please!"

Link and Roy went up to the counter. Roy filled in a list with characteristics and stuff and the receptionist put it in her computer.

Receptionist: "Okay. Mr. Roy, we will give you three initiation tests. One of Speed&reflexes, one of Power, and one of Defence&counterattacking. According to these tests, we'll determine your rank."

Roy: "Pardon me, but can i ask who the current number one fighter is?"

Receptionist: "It's mr. Cloud Strife. He also won the Gamefaqs.com character battle, so he got his power from that contest for a big parkt. Now if you would follow me to the initiation test room. Your first test is speed&reflexes."

They entered a REALLY large room, with a big glass cube in the middle.

Receptionist: "This is ms. Lara Croft. She'll be coaching you during the initiation tests."

Link: "Whoa, she's HOT man! You're in luck Roy! (thinking) Man, look at those hooters..."

Roy: "Okay, what should i do now?"

Lara: "Just step on this pad, and you'll be teleported in the glass cube, where you're supposed to dodge the laserbeams shot at you by the little pods. The goal of this is to defeat all 20 pods. Theyre pretty fast, so it won't be easy."

Roy stepped on the pod, and was teleported into the cube.

Lara: "3-2-1-GO!"

20 little pods appeared out of nothing, and started shooting lasers at Roy. He ducked, and a couple of lasers destroyed some of the pods. Only 17 left. He jumped at a pod and tried to slash it, but it got away to fast. Roy chased it and did a Blazer, destroying it and 2 more above it.

Lara: "14 left. He's doing pretty good, but there are fighters who have already destroyed them all without taking a hit."

Link: "Whoa. Want to go out sometime?"

Lara: "No man. I'm a lesbienne."

Link: "Damn."

Back inside the cube, Roy destroyed 3 more pods by countering there hits. He jumped up high, landed on a pod and leapt from pod to pod, disabling they're cirquits. He did this with 5 pods. 6 left. When he landed back on the floor, he was surrounded by the pods. They all started glowing red and prepared to fire lasers. Just as they fired, Roy jumped up and 4 pods where destroyed by the lasers. The other two started chasing Roy while glowing red, and Roy ran as fast as he could. When he reached the cube wall, he did a "Matrix" and ran up the wall, and made a backwards somersoult. He landed behind a pod and slashed it, cutting it in half. One pod left. Getting this idea from Space Invaders, the last pod went faster and faster, and tackled Roy from all sides.

Roy: "Damn. I was never good at destroying the last Space Invader. But...I...Will...WIN YOU LOUSY MACHINE!"

He jumped up high, and the pod chased him up. Roy somersaulted below the pod and power punched it upwards. He had won.

Lara: "Nice punch. He did pretty well. He completed it faster than 70 % of the other contestants, and took less hits than 90%. But he's still lightyears away from being in the top ten. For speed, i reckon he gets a 8/10. Not bad for a Rookie."

She pressed some buttons and Roy teleported out of the cube, on the teleport pad. He ran up to Lara's computer to see his results.

Roy: "YES! 8/10! Not bad huh!"

Link: "Good going Roy, but remember, two more tests await you."

Lara: "Please come with me to the Power test."

They went outside to a big baseball-ish field with a platform in the beginning and from there it stretched out almost endlessly. The platform had Sandbag on it (you know, from the SSBM home-run contest).

Lara: "This is very simple. You just punch the sandbag, kick the sandbag and special move the sandbag, so we can see what your strongest move is and how strong it is. For the special move, you can do anything, just don't disintegrate Sandbag."

Roy: "easy."

Roy jumped up the platform and power punched Sandbag as hard as he could. It flew 213 meters far.(wich was pretty good, i cant' punch that far on SSBM).

Lara: "Good. Now for the kicking."

A cart picked Sandbag up and put it on the platform again. As Roy warmed up, he took some distance and ran towards the sandbag, kicking it really hard. It flew 341 meters far.

Lara: "Wow, even better! Now for the special move. This is meant to be most peoples strongest move, so to qualify you'll have to hit it 550 meters or more."

Link: "That's not easy Roy, sure you can do it?"

Roy: "Sure. I've learned a new move while i was training. It's called Fire Emblem Pride. I named it after that one event. It takes a while to power up, but it's really strong, so i didn't use it against other smashers, cause it might hurt them badly."

Link: "Wow! Cool man! I can't wait to see it!"

Roy jumped up the platform once again, and prepared for the final blow. He put his sword high up in the air, and it began glowing red. You could see the power gathering in the Sword of Seals. After a while, Roy also started glowing red, and his sword was totally on fire. The sky around him was all blurry. He then held his sword in front of him with his two hands, tip forward. A huge orb of flames shot out of the tip. It hit Sandbag, and he flew a whopping 1138 meters!

Lara: "Nice. But there where still some other people who could hit it at least double as far."

Link: "Dammit Lara, there's always someone better. Quit yakking about who's better and tell us what score he had!"

Roy flew down towards Lara and Link.

Roy: "So? How much did i get?"

Lara: "Your punching was average. Better then 75% of the rest. Your kicking was good. Better then 85% of the other people. Your special move was great! Better then 92%! You get a 9/10.

Roy: "Cool!"

Lara: "Now please follow me to the Defence&counterattacking part."

They led them back inside. They saw a big machine.

Lara: "This is the Blammer. Yeah sorry but we couldn't find a better name. You will be fired two blasts from the Blammer. The first one you must counterattack, sending it back towards the machine. Don't worry about damaging it. The second you must block. Simple as that."

Roy: "Bring it on, big ugly lump o metal!"

The machine charged up, Roy braced himself. It sent a big energy ball towards Roy, who held it back with his sword.

Roy: "Whoa...such power...must...try...push it back..."

He charged up his blade and did a huge flare blade, sending the energy ball back towards the machine, and as it was about to hit, the machine generated a forcefield, completely disintegrating the energy ball.

Lara: "Nice. He could make interesting TV for us."

Link: "Yeah, he's quite energetic."

Lara: "CHARGE THE NEXT BLAST!"

Link: "Roy, are you ready?"

Roy: "I was born ready."

Link: "When you where born you weren't anything but a baby."

Roy: "..."

Lara: 3-2-1-FIRE!

The Blammer sent another blast, much bigger then the last one. Roy once again caught it with his sword. He couldn't send it back, he had to block it for as long as he could. It was no easy job, the blast was pushing Roy backwards time by time.

Roy: "AAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

He was still able to block it, but he was backed up against the wall. He couldn't block it anymore. The blast hit Roy fully. He got up, severely injured, with shredded clothes.

Lara: "Niiiiiiice..."

Link: "I thought you were a lesbienne?"

Lara: "Nah, that was just to get rid of you."

Link: "Damn."

Lara: "Roy, you did very good. The counterattack was better then 80 % and the defending also better then 80%. You get an 8.5."

Roy: "Yes! Now, excuse me, i have to get some clothes on. I still have my dignity."

A gust of wind flew by, lifting Roy's crotch-part up.

Link and Lara: "EWWWWWWWWWWWW!"

Roy: "Damn."

Lara: "This is a common event in this test, so we *thank god* have spare clothes here. Take this."

She tossed some hospitalclothes to Roy, who put them on.

Lara: "Would you like to know your rank?"

Roy: "Yes please."

Lara: "Your...19th. Great for a newcomer."

Roy: "Yes!"

Lara: "Tomorrow you'll have your first fight. It's a warmup fight, against the 18 ranked warrior, named...
