Chapter 3: The First Intermission

All of the contenders were in their sections, some of them getting healed from their last battles. Lawrence flew in a few minutes later.

"All contenders, listen up." He started. "Teeko has been very pleased with your matches so far and it's been a great tournament. Now, he says that you all can take a 1 hour intermission. We have to wait for our Mortal Kombat contenders to get here. In the meantime, enjoy yourselves." He flew off afterwards.

Later…

All the girls were in the break room for girls while all the boys were in their own. Let's check on the boys first…

"Stitch, you really disappointed me with what happened in your fight against Kunimitsu." Gon started. "You do know she's my fiance', right?"

"Ih." Stitch replied, holding a bag of ice on his head. "But, Kuni's face pretty."

"Yeah, I know. But, I don't want you going too far."

"Chill out, doc." Bugs told the short rex. "Ya don't have ta take it personally."

"Honestly, I'll have to agree with him." Buzz agreed, rubbing his bandaged arm. "Kuni's too tall for you anyway."

"So? It's the passion that counts!" Gon yelled.

"Why are you making this a big deal, Gon?" Armor King asked. "I know that ninga very well. She just likes you because your cute."

"I know. Isn't it great? I kinda like it when it comes to ladies callin' me cute and I'm so doggone proud of myself for that!"

As for the girls…

Kunimitsu sat in a chair in the far right corner of the lounge, her face as pink as a rose.

"That was embarrassing." She said outloud. Lexi chuckled.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked humorously. "Your lucky enough to win."

"I know that, but about what Stitch did when her saw my face. It was cute and all, but he scared me and Gon."

"Come on, now." Chun-Li protested. "Just because an alien fell for you, doesn't mean that he'll do it every time."

"Really?" Kunimitsu asked.

"Yeah."

"I must've made a complete fool of myself then." She held her head down with guilt.

Back with the boys…

All of Stitch's cousins were playing video games while everyone else was watching. Li-Long was sitting next to Sylvester and they were doing most of the talking.

"Are you Li-Long from Sthoulblade?" Sylvester asked. Li-Long nodded. "I'm Sthylvesthter!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Sylvester." He greeted with a handshake.

"I really like that game! I think that out of all the charactersth in the game, you are the easthiestht."

"Really!"

"Yeah!"

"WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP!" Roadster yelled. He couldn't stand the two talking. "If you guys are bored, why didn't you say so?"

"Oh, shut your beak up!" Sylvester swore under his breath. Roadster was about to get up and beat up Sylvester, but Spaz stopped him by grabbing his tailfeathers.

"Roadster, calm down. He was just having a little fun." He said to the angry Loonatic, who calmed down and sat back in his seat.

"I hope his fun won't make it deadly on me." He swore.

Meanwhile, with Teeko and Lawrence…

"There's a half an hour left of our intermission, Teeko." Lawrence reminded. "Should we serve them a small light midday snack?"

"Not without us!" A male voice yelled from the distance. Teeko and Lawrence looked in the direction of the voice and saw Jax, Kenshi, and Reptile coming in.

"Excellent! You finally arrived." Teeko said to them. They were nearly out of it, due to running on the way there.

"Sorry we took so long." Kenshi pleaded. "We had a bit of a delay. Reptile had to bask in the sun for moment."

"That's what stopped you from getting here at such short notice?"

"Yeah."

"Well, apology accepted. Anyway, you three are just in time for our midday snack, which is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with Cooler Ranch Doritos on the side and bottled, fresh water. Does that sound good?"

Reptile roared in response.

"I'll set them up." Lawrence said as he flew off.

Moments later…

Everybody was in the cafeteria eating their food, having Gon, Stitch, his cousins, AiAi, Baby, GonGon, Yoshi, Bowser Jr., Spyro, and Charmy Bee in booster seats. Teeko was eating along with them as well. Same for Lawrence.

"So, how are you liking the tournament so far?" Teeko asked randomly.

"This is pretty cool, Teeko!" Gon replied. "We get to fight whoever we wanna meet."

"I'm glad to hear that, Gon."

"So, who's next in Bout 1? Because I know we're not done."

"Actually, you're right. Our last four matches are: Daffy versus Tails, Cream versus Yaarp, Lexi bunny versus Voldo, and Sylvester versus Armor King. Any questions?"

"Yeah, I have one." Lexi raised her hand. "How come I have to fight that zombie?"

"I like awkward challenges."

"Figures."

"Cream, do you have a question about fighting Yaarp?"

"Yeah." Cream replied ever so sweetly. "How is he gonna fight me? All he does is honk his horn."

"Then, we can make you and Yaarp's battle interesting." He chuckled devilishly after that remark. Cream shivered.

"I don't like where this is going." She said to herself.

"HOLD UP!" Daffy yelled. "I have a questhtion, too!"

"What is it, Daffy?" Teeko asked.

"I gotta fight an 8-year-old, double-tailed foxth that hasth a way with planesth and sthtuff?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"The fact that he'sth 8!"

"What's wrong with fighting at age 8?" Tails asked furiously. "Cream's 6 and you're not saying anything about her!"

"That'sth becausthe she'sth fighting an alien, not me!"

"Guys, can we calm down?" Rouge asked cleverly. "All this arguing over ages is making me lose my appitite."

"I agree, Rouge." Teeko added. "You two take it easy. Sylvester, Armor King, any questions from you?"

"Yeah!" Sylvester and Armor King replied in unison.

"Okay. Sylvester, you first."

"Asth much asth I hate to insthult one of my favorite charactersth, I justht wanna asthk you why I have to fight a cat headed wrestler from Mexico?"

"It seems interesting to me to see a normal fighter battle a rough and tough wrestler. So, don't complain."

"My turn." Armor king called out. "Most of my moves are destructive combos and I was wondering if it was okay to do more than one throw at one time?"

"Yes, as long as you don't toss that poor cat in the air. Anymore questions?" Nobody answered. "Good. Now, as soon as every one finishes eating and drinking their water, we're gonna take a quick break frist. Then, continue on with the rest of the bout. In the meantime, Lawrence is gonna make plans for our next bout: 'Rivarlies'. Good luck."

Lawrence flew off right after that speech and planned out the next 8 matches for bout 2. Here's what he wrote:

Bout 2: Rivals

A.) Bugs Bunny vs. Buzz Bunny

B.) Lola Bunny vs. Lexi Bunny

C.) Reptile vs. Gon

D.) Kuma vs. Panda

E.) Yoshi vs. Bowser Jr.

F.) Crash Bandicoot vs. Dingodile

G.) Yin vs. Yang

H.) Knuckles vs. Rouge

He flew off, took the paper, and handed it to Teeko. He scanned it and nodded.

"Excellent, Lawrence." He congradulated. "These shall be more interesting than the last."

(Just a side note: About the fanart thing… um… maybe, if you can, make some fanart for some of my fanfics. I'd love to see some art that goes with my stories… especially when it's drawn by somebody other than me. If you can't, then that's okay.)
