Chapter 2: The First Four Matches

The first match of the day was about to begin with Buzz Bunny and Fox McCloud. Teeko came on the speakers after a minute of silence.

"Had your silence, gentlemen?" He asked. Buzz's eyelids lowered in response. Fox did the same. "Good. Now, I want a nice clean fight from both of you. I expect a battle worth keeping on tape. Ready?" The two nodded simultaneously. "BEGIN!"

Buzz began by sending an air kick to Fox's face, sending him to the floor. Fox got back up and fired his lasergun. Buzz retreated from it by flipping out of its way, then running towards the space fox, who contunued to fire as Buzz continued running, dodging every shot. Then, he shot his lasers from his eyes and it shot Fox straight on his arm, causing him to drop his gun. He held his arm in pain as Buzz swipped a low kick on Fox's ankles and he collasped to the ground. Fox slowly got back up and puched him on his chest, then across the face. Buzz maintained his balance as he tried to punch the brown fox again, but he slapped the Loonatic with his gun and he collasped to the ground. Fox thought he was a winner for good, but Buzz unexpectedly shot his lasers at the happy fox and he was knocked out. Buzz slowly got up and raised his hands up in the air in victory.

"Excellent! The winner of the first match is Buzz Bunny! Congradulations!" Teeko announced. The crowd of dragons in the stadium cheered wildly as Buzz stood there with a smile on his face. He walked proudly back to the fighter's lobby and sat with the other Loonatics, who applauded for him as he sat down.

"Excellent match, Buzz." Teeko commented. "You will continue on in the tournament. Next match: Stitch versus Kunimitsu."

"I have to fight that abomination?" Kunimitsu asked in annoyance as she stood. Teeko waddled up to her.

"Is that a problem?" He asked. "Because if it is, I can disqualify you from the tournament."

Kuni's eyes widened in her mask as she heard this.

"No, it's fine with me." She replied quickly. Teeko nodded with satisfaction.

"Good. Now, go in the arena and wait for Stitch." She did so. Stitch jumped up and ran up to Teeko, who smiled at the little blue alien.

"Looks like you're geared up for this match. Show Kunimitsu that you're not an abomination." The giant bat demanded. Stitch replied to this by growling before rolling into the stadium. Kunimitsu was already in her fighting stance, ready to fight. Stitch rolled out and popped into his position. He was ready.

"Ready to get keester kicked?" Stitch asked with determination. Kuni slashed her dagger in response.

"You bet I am!" She yelled. Teeko beeped in.

"Ready, you two?" He yelled. Stitch jumped constantly. Kunimitsu stood her ground. "BEGIN!"

"Meega na la kweesta!" Stitch yelled at the top of his lungs as he jumped for her. She stood there and when he was an inch close to her, she suddenly disappeared, puzzling Stitch. He landed face first in the dirt as he sat up and looked around for the female ninja. After 20 seconds of confusion, Kuni reappeared and slammed Stitch hard with her dagger, causing him to bounce a little before he sat up. She chuckled.

"I knew you were such an abomination." She said after her laughter. Stitch got up and growled.

"NAGA! NAGA!" He yelled back as he jumped up and punched Kunimitsu across her face, causing her mask to crack a little. She counter-attacked by performing Cycle of Rebirth (which is my favorite fighting move) and it knocked the blue alien back to the ground. Stitch sat up and rolled into a ball towards her, causing her trip up and landed back first hard on the ground. Stitch reformed in his fighting stance as he waited patiently for Kuni to get up. Her mask completely fell off as she sat up, revealing her beautiful Japanese, brown eyed face. Stitch froze for a moment as he saw this and allowed her to sit up. She turned around and noticed Stitch's expression.

"What?" She asked confusingly. Stitch suddenly fainted and passed out, making her the winner. Teeko was speechless, but spoke into the PA anyway.

"Uh… the winner of this match is amazingly Kunimitsu! Congradulations!" He said slowly. Kunimitsu smiled as she picked up the unconcious experiment and held him high in victory. She then felt her face and noticed that her mask was off. She sighed as she shook her head on the way back to the lobby and settled Stitch down gently beside Teeko, who looked puzzled.

"That was an odd looking battle. What happened?" He asked her. She placed her dagger back in her pocket as she spoke.

"Stitch fell in love with my face, I guess." She replied.

"Well, even though he passed out, you are still the winner. You will continue on with the tournament. You may go back to your group now."

She walked back to her Tekken circle and sat next to her fiance', Gon, who looked furious.

"I hope he doesn't stay in love with you forever!" He exclaimed. Kuni patted her short boyfriend on the head for comfort.

"Don't worry, Gon. I'll be fine." She told him calmly. He smiled in response as Teeko announced the next battle.

"Next battle: Lola Bunny versus Crush. Step into the ring to begin the match." He announced. Lola gulped in fear as she shivered violently. Bugs noticed and patted her on the back.

"C'mon, now, Lo." He started. "Don't tell me ya scared of Crush."

"I'm not scared." She lied nervously. Bugs chuckled.

"Don't even try it, Lola. You are scared. You faced a Monstar witout fear, didn't ya?"

"Yeah, I did. I'm gonna face my bravery and fight this monster, even though he's over 50 times bigger than me. I'm gonna win this." She stood up and walked into the arena. Crush was already in, ready to go. He stood there with his club in his hand, waiting for Lola to be ready. She stood right in front of him and looked up at him with a look of bravery.

"Okay, Crush," She started. "Knowing that you're as slow as you look, I just know that I'm gonna beat ya. So, don't even think of tryin' anything funny."

"Crush don't think little rabbit will win." He replied. "Crush win fight!"

"Oh, okay! I see how you are! How about you show me what ya got, big boy?"

"Crush pleasure." He lifted his club and began to slam it to the ground. Luckily, Lola ran off before his club landed. Crush was shocked as he continued onward, chasing Lola. She was running as fast as she could, but Crush was catching up to her and whacked his club again, barely missing her this time. She lost her footing, but managed to keep her speed as she kept running. She was sweating with nervousness.

'C'mon, Lola. You said you were brave.' She thought to herself. 'Time for a taste of my remedy.' She smiled slyly as she stopped at the wall. She then truned around as Crush was approaching her slowly, holding up his club, ready to attack. Lola kept her cool as she acted scared.

In the lobby…

Bugs was watching from the television and grew nervous. Teeko smiled with satisfaction.

"This is my favorite part of the battle…" He said to himself deeply.

Back in the arena…

Lola was still standing there, looking as normal as possible. Crush was about to slam his club, but Lola snapped her fingers twice, stopping him in his tracks.

"I never knew you were so agile, Crush." She said seductively. "If only you were cuter and about 20 feet shorter, I could've given you a reward, but for now, I'll give you this…" She kissed her hand softly, then blew the kiss at Crush's face. He blushed as he dropped his club in a daze and fainted, causing the arena to shake. He was completely knocked out, making Lola the winner. She smiled.

"I always knew that monster was such a big baby." She said to herself as she walked back to the lobby. As she walked by Teeko, she snapped her fingers in his face.

"That's how you treat a monster that looks mindless." She said cooly before returning to the other Looneys. Bugs hugged her tightly.

"OH, LOLA!" He exclaimed. "YA SCARED ME SILLY, DOC!" Lola was choking in his embrace.

"Bu… gs!" She gasped. "Choking… not breathing."

Teeko looked speechlessly at the two bunnies.

"This tournament's getting better and better every fight." He said to himself as he announced the next fight. "Next: Melty versus AiAi."

Melty ran into the arena as AiAi rolled himself inside a giant ball into the arena. He had a boxing glove attached to his ball by a spring. Melty was ready to go the moment AiAi stopped in his position.

"Ready?" Teeko announced. The two adorable contenders nodded. "BEGIN!"

Melty fired his flame at AiAi, but he managed to roll out of the way and punch the red dragon experiment hard, knocking him towards the wall. Melty regained consiciousness as he ran towards him, but Teeko stopped the fight with a buzzer for moment.

"This battle needs to be even." He announced. "Melty has to be in a ball, too." He pressed a button and Melty fell through a trap door, leaving AiAi alone in the huge ring.

Back in the lobby…

Melty sild down into Teeko's chamber and landed in a red and white, see-through ball with a red boxing glove attached to it. Teeko closed it with him inside and rolled the small dragon back out.

Back in the arena…

Melty came back out with his own ball. Now, he was ready. AiAi punched again, but this time, Melty counter-attacked quickly and punched AiAi back, rolling him towards the wall. Melty roared as he rolled himself towards the monkey and prepared to punch again, but AiAi powered up his glove and blasted Melty towards the other wall, making a hole in it. AiAi started to cheer and make his cute victory dance inside his ball as he saw Melty knocked out. Teeko applauded.

"Not bad for a monkey. He's still in." He announced as AiAi rolled back inside the lobby. Lawrence flew up to the giant dragon and landed on his shoulder.

"Sir, I wrote down our first four winners: Buzz Bunny, Kunimitsu, Lola Bunny, and AiAi. Shall we take a 30 minute intermission and resting break before we continue with this bout?" He explained. Teeko nodded as he turned around.

"We shall. Besides, we need that time to heal the losers before we continue." He replied. "By the way, where's my Mortal Kombat contenders: Reptile, Kenshi, and Jax?"

"They're gonna be a little late, sir. I just received a phone call from Midway. They said that they're coming, but they're gonna be late."

"I understand. Anyway, let's take a 1 hour intermission instead. If the Mortal Kombat contenders arrive before our last four fights, then we can prepare our next bout later on."

"Okay, sir."

To be continued…
