Chapter 8: The Last Four Matches of Bout 3

"Ohhh, goodnessth!" Sylvester drooled. "I haven't stheen stho much stheafood in my life!"

There was a whole table full of seafood! There were giant plates of shrimp, fried fish, crab legs, lobster tails, and broiled rainbow trout. A huge dipping bowl full of cocktail sauce was on the table as well. Bugs, Lola, Buzz, and Lexi finally received their salads. The four bunnies were impressed to see the last rabbit, Bianca, eat the seafood along with everybody else.

"How come you're not eatin' a salad, doc?" Bugs asked her.

"I have magic, remember?" Bianca asked. "I can adjust my appetite to whatever I wish."

"Dat's right."

"That seems a little awkward, though." Buzz remarked. "Lexi and I are Loonatics, but still, we eat vegetables for a living."

"Dat's good."

"Attention, everyone!" Teeko announced as everyone continued eating, yet they were listening. "This tournament has been excellent overall, but now that it's down to the final four matches of Bout 3, we're just one step closer from the semi-finals! Let's make these last four fights worth the wait."

Later, after lunch and break…

"Okay. If Lola wins this fight, there's a better chance that her fighting skills will receive a reward along with entering the semi-finals. If Vector wins, he'll advance… but Lola will still have the privilage to advance as well. Lola Bunny, Vector, please report to the arena to begin your match." Teeko explained.

Seconds later, in the arena…

"A croc against a rabbit." Vector started. "What are the odds?"

"That's no concern to you, Vector." Lola replied. "What does matter is that I'm gonna slam you silly 'til you bleed and cry."

"Oh, if that's how you're gonna be…" He ran up to her as he prepared to punch her in the face. Lola managed to dodge out of the way by running to the side, making Vector miss. He nearly fell as Lola ran towards him and tackled him to the ground on his back. She was on top of him.

"Had enough, Vector?" She asked. The green croc tried to get up, but Lola's strength was keeping him down.

"I would never get enough!" He replied with bravery. Lola leaned down towards his ear and whispered:

"If you don't stop bragging about yourself, I'll be forced to kiss you."

At that moment, Vector's eyes grew wide and he ran off, automatically disqualifying him from the tournament.

"Such a bad girl." Lola said to herself as she walked back to the lobby. Teeko was staring at her the whole time when she walked by.

"She sure is. Lola won for the third time! How does she do it?" Teeko asked himself as he pulled out the roster for the next fight. "Mighty, Tikal, approach the arena to begin your match!"

"Wish me luck, NiGHTS." Tikal said to the nightmaren as she stood up. Mighty took Sonic's hand and shook it.

"Good luck, man." Sonic said to the armadillo.

"Thanks, Sonic!" Mighty replied as he walked towards the arena, right behind Tikal. When they arrived, they looked at each other with determination.

"There's no way I'm losing against a somebody from Angel Island!" Mighty yelled with determination. Tikal crossed her arms with disgust.

"Well, I'll be that wherever you live, it's contaminated with roaches and rats… like you!" She insulted back. The black and red armadillo growled at this insult.

"THAT'S IT! TEEKO! START THIS FREAKIN' FIGHT!"

"As he wishes." Teeko said sarcastically as he spoke into the mic. "Ready? BEGIN!"

Mighty screamed as he ran towards Tikal and attempted to punch her in the face. She simply held up her palm in front of him and when he impacted, he was blasted back, collasping to the ground on his back. He sat up and shook his head.

"What the…? How'd you do that!" He exclaimed.

"That's how I am." Tikal replied smoothly. "You're not a very worthy opponent. I'm gonna make you one." She lept from her position and shot a spirit particle at the armadillo. He was blasted again, but this time, Tikal was able to catch him by his arm and throw him up in the air. She flew up towards him and gave him multiple punches and kicks across his face, in his stomach, and in his back. Then, when he was falling unconcious, she decided to finish him off with the Emerald Dragon spell. She held out her palms together and a bright green dragon ghost flew out and roared on its way towards Mighty and it set off a dome-shaped explosion, puzzling the audience and Teeko. When the bright green dome disappeared, it revealed Mighty, unconcious with bruises and cuts all over his body.

"The winner is Tikal! Congradulations! She will advance to the Semi-Finals!" Teeko announced as Tikal arrived back in the lobby. "That's what I call a fight. I never knew a person like you was a fighter as well."

"Appearances can be deceiving, Teeko." She advised as she went back to her Sega circle.

"That phrase is true." Lawrence agreed.

"It sure is. Next… heh, heh! This fight's gonna be interesting. Next fight: Big versus Kunimitsu. Report to the arena to begin your match." Teeko announced. Big gulped while Kunimitsu chuckled and went to the arena. Big sat there with his friends, shivering like a bush blown by wind. Cream patted the large purple striped cat on the shoulder to calm him down.

"Don't be afraid, Big. Kunimitsu's a great fighter. Stitch didn't even touch her." She told him. Big looked down at the cream-colored rabbit.

"Are you sure she'll be easy?" He asked as he handed Froggy to her.

"Yeah. Go on. We'll be rooting for you."

Seconds later…

Kunimitsu assumed her fighting position as Big stood in front of her, face-to-face.

"Ready to fight, cat?" Kunimitsu asked smugly. Big just nodded shakly.

"Ready?" Teeko announced. "BEGIN!"

"Prepare to be defeated by a ninja." She demanded fiercely as she ran for the cat.

"AHHHHHHH!" Big screamed as he quickly covered his face. He noticed that she was still coming towards him, so he regained his wits and came up with an idea. He showed a determined look on his face as he pulled out his trusty fishing rod, equipped with fishing line and a hook at the end. This puzzled Kunimitsu.

"Huh?" She asked herself as she skidded to a stop.

"How about we go fishing? Ha, ha, ha, ha!" He chuckled as he began to wind up. Kuni's eyes grew wide as she turned and ran away for santuary. Big aimed carefully and threw the line towards her. The line kept stretching until the hook grabbed the back of her shirt and she fell to the ground, landing on her back. As she was being dragged, a light bulb lit up above her head as she came up with an idea. She pulled out her dagger and stuck it in the ground deeply. It bended back as she was hanging on to it with one hand. When she reached the dagger's holding limit, she released and it flung towards the wall and it ricocheted off the wall and the blade went towards Big's arm, barely missing him, but set a small deep cut on his arm. He screamed in pain as he quickly dropped his rod and held on to his arm. Kunimitsu was able to get up just in time as she ran towards the cat again and performed a sweep kick under his feet, making him collaspe to the ground on his back. When she stood there with her arms crossed, the dagger came back to her and she quickly reached up with her right hand and grabbed it. She pointed the blade at Big's face and he panicked.

"Okay, okay! You win!" He pleaded innocently. Kuni smiled seductively as she placed the dagger back in her pocket and shockingly kneeled down towards the cat and kissed him on the mouth. This shocked Gon so much, he began turning red and having steam spewing out of his ears.

"Why that no-good…!" He swore in clenched teeth as he watched this moment happen.

When her 5 minute kiss was slowly broken by the manji ninja, Big sighed as he blushed and passed out, making her the winner. Gon saw her wink, telling her that it was okay and he sighed.

"For Pete's sake, Kuni! Don't scare me like that, girl!" He muttered to himself.

Minutes later…

"You caught me off guard for a minute there, Kuni. I thought you really did fall in love with that fat cat." Gon said in a relieved tone. Kunimitsu picked up her boyfriend and kissed him passionately for 5 seconds. Afterwards, she looked into his eyes.

"You're my baby." She moaned. "I would never betray you like that, my little sexy rex." She kissed him again. This time, it was on the floor. Teeko watched from the balcony and groaned.

"I think I'm gonna be sick if I see something like that again." He moaned. Lawrence sighed.

"I think they make a great couple. Size doesn't matter. That's my motto." He protested. "Bianca and Bowser's battle is next."

"Oh! Alright. Bianca, Bowser, please apporach the arena to begin your match!"

Bowser roared with determination as he stomped into the arena. Bianca looked at Spyro and Hunter with a worried look on her face.

"He's a big dinosaur. Do you two do you think I can take him?" She asked. Hunter held her hands in his.

"Don't worry, Bianca. We'll be watchin' ya! Go on. Bowser can't talk anyway." He replied lovingly. Bianca was confused by that last statement, but took it anyway as she stood and walked towards the arena. When she arrived, Bowser was already prepared to fight as he roared loudly.

"Ready?" Teeko announced. "BEGIN!"

Bowser roared again as he began stomping towards Bianca. She powered up a fireball in her hands as he approached. When he was in perfect distance, she fired her fireball at the beast's chest and he was only pushed back while roaring in pain. She went wide eyed as she ran backwards. She fired a bigger plasma blast from her single finger this time and it impacted at the beast's face. He stopped as he held his burning face in pain and roared. She saw this and stopped and ran foreward. She summoned a medium sized dragon while she was on her way towards him. The dragon ran in front of her as they looked at each other and nodded simultaneously. Bianca powered up her plasma ball again while the dragon had a laserball growing in front of his open mouth. When they were powered up completely, they fired at the same time and the two powerful plasma balls impacted at Bowser, slicing through his shell. When this happened, the imaginary dragon disappeared while Bianca stopped in her tracks and watched Bowser die a painful death. He collasped to the ground on his stomach and died. Bianca snapped her fingers as she walked back towards the lobby.

"The winner is Bianca! She will advance to the semi-finals!" Teeko announced. Lawrence nearly grossed out when he saw Bowser.

"Too bad for Bowser. Bianca's powers are far beyond impossible." He said to his larger bat friend.

"But, it's worth it."

Later…

"Everyone. This day has been excellent for Bout 3." Teeko started as dinner was being served. "Our last four winners: Lola, who won three times, Tikal, Kunimitsu, who won twice, and Bianca, will be joining the other winners listed here for the Semi-Finals:

1.) Ace (a.k.a. Buzz) Bunny

2.) AiAi

3.) Tails

4.) Cream

5.) Bugs Bunny

6.) Armor King

7.) Gon

8.) Bowser Jr.

9.) Ty the Tasmanian Tiger

10.) Knuckles

11.) Yang

12.) Splodyhead

13.) NiGHTS

14.) Chun-Li

As for Kay and Ratchet, they have agreed to fight in semi-finals as well. Key will fight Kunimitsu and Ratchet will fight Lola Bunny. They rest of you will do our semi-final competitions."

"Which are…?" Daffy asked.

"Archery and baby dragon wrestling, but I wanted to make a few changes. Instead of baby dragon wrestling, we'll do kinetic racing. I got that idea from Kinetica (which is property of SCEA)."

"So, what is kinetic racing?" Tails asked.

"It's interesting. You put on these kinetic suits and you can race on walls and do whatever stunts you want on the ground and in the air to gain some boost. I'll let the first 6 contenders who crosses the finish line the opportunity to advance to the Finals."

"Alright. I can't wait!" Ty exclaimed.

"Neither can I. Now, eat up and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow is gonna be the busy day of all time for all of you."
