LINK TO SECTION BELOW
We now return to Drake and Ashley looking happy.
"Andddd we are back!" Drake grinned.
"Just in time to see Luna Loud's choice for the gimmick of this section!" Ashley explained. "She decided to play it safe and choose the "Mystery Reserves" card!"
"And this section's Reserve Mystery Fighter has been suggested by Bluesy." Drake offered. "Congrats for him for getting one of his suggestions in!"
"But first things first, we have to go over the rest of the fighters, starting with the ones who survived the last section!" Ashley explained.
KISSHU IKISATASHI
NODE: TOKYO MEW MEW
ENTERED IN: Section 4; Number 94
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 3
"With love and determination to change as his weapons, as long with a brand-new actual one altogether is Kisshu!" Drake grinned.
"Regardless of how you feel about Kisshu X Ichigo, you can't sleep on Kisshu because he already got rid Poison Ivy from DC Comics, Ray from Sonic the Hedgehog and Eiji from Battle Arena Toshinden, picking up the slack for his node's poor reputation thus far!" Ashley noted.
SAKURA KASUGANO
NODE: STREET FIGHTER V
ENTERED IN: Section 4; Number 96
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 4
"Standing as the last UVR champion is Sakura Kasugano, definitely showing that she is a champion upon champions!" Ashley smiled.
"Yeah, Guy from Final Fight, Wartortle from Super Smash Bros, her nodal companion, Zeku and Kyo from King of Fighters XIV learned that she hasn't gotten rusty after all of these years!" Drake agreed.
LUNA LOUD
NODE: THE LOUD HOUSE
ENTERED IN: Section 5; Number 108
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 3
"Showing that one appearance in one fighting game could do wonders for a character from a slice of life cartoon is Luna Loud!" Drake grinned.
"Indeed. She managed to take Dhalsim from Street Fighter, Dumbo from Kingdom Hearts and Flapjack from Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion by surprise!" Ashley noted.
SHEGO
NODE: KIM POSSIBLE
ENTERED IN: Section 5; Number 117
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 3
"From a heroic, normal girl Mystery Fighter to a super-powered villainous one! It is Shego!" Ashley announced.
"Showing NO mercy for her opponents, she made decisive work of Batgirl from DC Comics, Billy Lee from Double Dragon and even Kasumi Todoh from Art of Fighting!" Drake noted. "We can't get two Mystery Fighters from the same node so Kim isn't here! Is there anyone who could stand up to her?"
JAK & DAXTER
NODE: JAK & DAXTER/PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS BATTLE ROYALE
ENTERED IN: Section 6; Number 124
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 2
"Coming in to give the Playstation crossover is representing some much needed eliminations is the mismatched duo of Jak & Daxter!" Drake grinned.
"Indeed, in getting rid of Zelda from Super Smash Bros and Aeleus from Kingdom Hearts, they have overtake Toro as PSASBR's MVP!" Ashley beamed.
DIDDY KONG
NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/DONKEY KONG COUNTRY
ENTERED IN: Section 6; Number 127
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 2
"Showing that just because you are the second banana, that doesn't mean you are any less effective as the top one is Diddy Kong!" Ashley offered.
"Yeah, sure, some people will shrug off his elimination of the Grizz from Sly Cooper, but getting rid of Goofy from Kingdom Hearts definitely deserves props!" Drake noted.
FILIA
NODE: SKULLGIRLS
ENTERED IN: Section 6; Number 129
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 1
"Fighting between her opponents and keeping her symbiote hair, Samson under control is Filia!" Drake grinned.
"Indeed! While the two were bickering at each other, they still managed to come together and eliminate Buttercup from Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion!" Ashley noted. He then rolled his eyes. "Oh and Samson stole the Smash Ball Buttercup stole from Sticks the Badger who stole from Agent 9 who stole from Luigi."
YOOKA & LAYLEE
NODE: YOOKA-LAYLEE
ENTERED IN: Section 6; Number 130
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 1
"Proving that they have more potential than most critics has given them credit for are the pair of Yooka and Laylee!" Ashley smiled.
"Indeed, Bowser Jr. from Super Smash Bros didn't know what was happening to him until it was too late!" Drake grinned.
KAIRI
NODE: KINGDOM HEARTS
ENTERED IN: Section 6; Number 132
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 2
"Determined to prove that she is more than a Satellite Love Interest is Kairi!" Drake grinned.
"And indeed, she is off to a great start by overpowering Bianca from Spyro the Dragon and Vector from Sonic the Hedgehog!" Ashley smiled.
MEGAMAN
NODE: MEGAMAN
ENTERED IN: Section 6; Number 132
OVERALL ELIMINATIONS: 2
"And last, but certainly not least, the Blue Bomber himself, the super fighting robot, Megaman!" Ashley smiled.
"With arguably the quickest elimination thus far with his elimination of Ventus from Kingdom Hearts!" Drake nodded. "And keep in mind, Ventus is no pushover because he has gotten rid of PIKACHU."
"Well, that is everyone who survived the section!" Ashley smiled. "Brace yourself, everyone because we have a lot to cover."
KING SHARK
NODE: DC COMICS/BATMAN
BIG GUY ALERT!
"And here we have the hacker and computer whiz of Harley Quinn's crew, King Shark!" Drake grinned.
Ashley jumped at this. "Wait… What?"
"Yeah, in the Harley Quinn cartoon, he is the computer guy. Not that he doesn't fight alongside the rest of the team, but still." Drake noted. He then paused. "Though I wonder if he is limited to only his Harley Quinn appearance."
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "As opposed to what?"
Drake then smirked. "I was just wondering if he and John Constantine has…"
"DRAKE!" Ashley roared at the top of his lungs with his face turning red. "That is something WALLY would say!"
"Oi!" The boxer shouted from off-screen.
The vampire just chuckled. "Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist! Anyway, as you could enter, King Shark is super strong."
"And the only thing stronger than his muscles is his teeth." Ashley noted. He then paused. "Um, he DOES know that this is a non-killing tournament, right?"
"Um, duh? King Shark isn't above killing his foes, but he has his standards. Actually, all of Harley's crew does." Drake warned. He then paused. "Well, except for Dr. Psycho. But he is not in the group anymore so…"
WAVE THE SWALLOW
NODE: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Drake immediately rolled his eyes.
"Now, now, let's give her the benefit of the doubt." Ashley warned. "After all, she more or less seems to have learned SOMETHING from her constant previous humiliations."
"I guess… At least she decided to taunt someone who ACTUALLY looks like a jobber at these things, I'll give her that." Drake sighed. "Of course, one could argue that she and the rest of the Babylon Rogues have no right to talk about jobbers, but I digress."
Ashley nodded. "Now correct me if I am wrong, but is Wave the "Flight" character of her team?"
"Yeah, but Flight actually works differently in the Sonic Riders games and you have to pass a certain ring to do so." Drake pointed out. "But other than that, her hoverboard is her main form of flight."
Ashley blinked twice. "But… She is a bird. Hell, all three of the Babylon Rogues are birds. And yet a two-tailed fox and a rabbit flapping her wings could fly and she can't?"
Drake rolled his eyes. "Next, you are going to complain that the Chaos Emeralds aren't actually emeralds."
Ashley shook his head. "Well, that DOES she has."
"Well, she has a wrench as a weapon, which is not surprising, considering her role on her team as the mechanic." Drake explained. "She will also plant bombs on people."
Ashley jumped at this. "Oh, wow…"
"Yeah, personally, I still think she has a long road ahead of her and that is the polite way of saying it." Drake sighed. "But credit where credit is due, at least she has the common sense to taunt someone who is more or less on her level. We will get into that shortly."
KIRBY
NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/KIRBY
"KIRBY!" Drake and Ashley (along with Wally and Catherine) exclaimed.
"I love the little guy!" Drake grinned.
"Who doesn't?" Ashley asked. "Not only is he cute, but his strength is quite impressive!"
"No kidding! While Wally and Catherine have already been over this, he could inhale his opponents and copy their abilities!" Drake noted. "The possibilities of what he could do is endless!"
"Agreed. Not only that, but he has moves based on some of his abilities like his Hammer, Cutter and Stone form." Ashley noted.
"And while he is as light as a plush doll, he has one of the best recoveries with his flight ability!" Drake smirked. "So yeah, Kirby is going to be a huge threat in the ring!"
"Of course. Have you SEEN the final bosses he faced?" Ashley asked before shuddering.
KEN MASTERS
NODE: STREET FIGHTER V
"Remember when I said about Wave having the common sense to pick on characters who she has a chance against?" Drake asked, jerking his thumb. "THIS is the guy I was talking about!"
"R-Really?" Ashley asked. "But he is the Player 2 character of arguably THE definition of fighting games."
"Yeah, I thought for sure that with his appearance in Super Smash Bros, he would get more votes at the Okron Tournament, but nope." Drake frowned.
"Oh dear… Do you think that things will be the same here?" Ashley asked.
"Maybe? I mean over the years, he and Ryu have been distancing themselves in terms of moves with Ken being much more aggressive and focusing on fiery punches and kicks." Drake noted. "Nowadays, it is a disservice to call Ken a Ryu clone."
Ashley paused. "...But. He appeared as Ryu's Echo Fighter in Smash."
Drake growled. "You're the worst at hype, you know that?"
ROSALINA & LUMA
NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/SUPER MARIO BROS/SUPER MARIO GALAXY
Ashley looked at Rosalina's picture in awe. Drake saw this and smirked.
"You may be too young for her, Ash." Drake teased.
The wizard's eyes widened before looking at Drake with a beet-red face. "W-What!? I do not want to... I mean, that is… You misunderstood!"
"Mm-hmm." Drake smirked. "Now normally, we just cover Rosalina & Luma's fighting abilities seeing that Super Mario Bros have been covered, but let's face it. Even though she became a recurring Mario character, let's face it. When you think of her, you associate with Super Mario Galaxy. Sooo to Wally and Catherine."
The camera then focused on Wally and Catherine.
"Aye, ya got it, mate!" Wally grinned. "Now Super Mario Galaxy is one of Mario's many mainstream platformer adventures. But with a twist: It is Mario… IN SPACE!"
Catherine rolled her eyes. "Admittedly, that is always a cheap tactic in MY opinion, but credit where credit is due, Nintendo went all-out with the concept."
"Now the story is simple. Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach. Again. Only he took her into outer space. After being blasted in outer space himself, Mario wakes up to find the mascot of Super Mario Galaxy, the Lumas and their mother, Rosalina." Wally grinned.
"Rosalina agreed to help Mario to rescue Peach by collecting Grand Stars to power up Rosalina's spaceship, the Comet Observatory. So it is up to Mario to go to different worlds and collect stars in various ways!" Catherine explained.
"Now other than that, Mario has to deal with planets with zero gravity. So it is possible to long jump around small planets in one go! And you get this little Luma buddy that will give Mario a spinning jump which not only gives him more distance, but also saves him if he made a jumping mistake or attack enemies!" Wally grinned.
"There is also this new type of collectible called Star Bits which could be used to get to new planets!" Catherine explained. "Also, if there is another player in Coop, that person who point the Wii Remote at the screen and shoot out a Star Bit at enemies, stunning them."
"Like other 3D platformers of Mario, it spawned a huge fanbase, even getting its own sequel. Which is more that could be said about Sunshine!" Wally pointed.
Catherine raised an eyebrow. "But 64 didn't get a sequel either."
"Not a "traditional" sequel, anyway." Wally shrugged.
Catherine returned the shrug. "But yes, Super Mario Galaxy has definitely gave its way in one of Mario's many games and creating one of the fan-favourite characters of Super Mario Bros, Rosalina! There is a reason why the recent Rainbow Roads of Mario Kart focus more on space! Back to you guys!"
The camera then went back to a nodding Ashley. "Thank you, guys!"
"Now Rosalina & Luma are puppet fighters. She could be away from Luma and they could fight separately, creating a lot of mind games." Drake explained.
"So we have another duo fighter, huh?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah, but just like most duos, they can NOT work on their own." Drake warned. "Rosalina won't be completely useless, but most of her strongest attacks will be nerfed and Luma needs her mother's guidance."
"Wow… Which puts even more emphasis on their teamwork, huh?" Ashley noted.
"Not only that, Rosalina could send out Star Bits, whether through her wand or Luma and negate projectiles or send items towards her by manipulating gravity." Drake explained.
"Heh. Beautiful AND skilled." Ashley noted.
Drake then smirked. "Ha! I knew it!"
Ashley's eyes bugged out as he blushed. "I-I mean… As a friend!"
"Riiiiight. Friend." Drake joked.
TARUTO IKISATASHI
NODE: TOKYO MEW MEW
"Huh. Out of all people from "groups" in the tournament, I wouldn't have expected the Cyniclons to show up in the same section as one." Drake noted.
"Indeed… Then again, I didn't expect Kisshu to last this long." Ashley noted.
"To be fair, Pai would have gotten at least ONE elimination if his draw in the first section was much later." Drake shrugged. "I guess more people liked them than we thought."
"Huh… So what about Taruto?" Ashley asked. "What is HIS weapon?"
"A click clack toy." Drake said without missing a beat.
Ashley blinked twice. "W-What?"
"Well, what do you expect from the Token Mini-Moe of the Cyniclons?" Drake challenged.
"...I mean, one of my favourite JRPGs uses a kendama for his weapon so I shouldn't judge too much." Ashley shrugged. "Still, Taruto looks like a bit of a brat."
"Oh, he is. He is arguably the most heroic out of the three Cyniclons, but he still acts like a little shit." Drake said. "He may piss up someone and gets them to eliminate him out of anger."
WONDER WOMAN
NODE: DC COMICS/WONDER WOMAN
"And here we have DC's most prominent superheroine, Wonder Woman!" Drake grinned.
"Well, she IS the first DC superheroine." Ashley chuckled.
Drake paused before looking to the side. Ashley blinked twice.
"Wait… DON'T tell me that Wonder Woman is NOT the first one." Ashley said.
"Um, she is the first PROMINENT one…" Drake said before looking to the side. "Yo, guys, could you answer this for me?"
The camera went to Wally. "We're on it, mate! It is as Drake said, Wonder Woman is not the first female dominant superheroine, but rather the THIRD, with the first one being the Red Tornado, not ta be confused with the android of the same name and Phantom Lady!"
"But let's take get off-topic because while she wasn't the first, she still made a big impact!" Catherine noted. Her face then fell. "Too bad that her creator was a bit of a creep."
Wally groaned. "Cat… Wonder Woman was created as a middle finger ta an era where women didn't had that much rights!"
"She was, but she was also used to supply his own disgusting kinks of "submission to loving authority"!" Catherine said in disgust. "It completely goes against everything as to why she was created!"
Wally let out a deep sigh. "ANYWAY, Wonder Woman, or as her full name, Diana Price, has many interpretations of her backstory, but her most common one is her being an Amazon, growing up with other hot Amazons where they live on an Amazon island!"
"...Wally, your nose is bleeding." Catherine muttered.
The kangaroo's eyes bugged out before struggling to wipe away the blood from his nose. ...Only to realize that he doesn't have any blood. He then looked at Catherine who had an exasperated look on her face.
"Oi, ya tricked me!" Wally roared, angrily
"Yes,but you almost had a nosebleed." Catherine smirked before looking back at the camera. "Anyway, the Amazons live on an island called Themyscira away from others. Especially men. The Amazons do NOT like men. However, Diana has decided to leave the island because… Sorry, it is one of those different interpretation thing."
"Aye, in the original comic, it was to return her love interest, Steve Trevor home. In the Justice League comic, it was to help out men, even if she didn't initially like them." Wally explained. His face fell. "But due to the Amazons' strict ruling, she got exiled from Themyscira."
"As sad as it sounds, it only strengthens Diana's resolve to fight crime in the world of man." Catherine said. "And she ended up being part of the big DC Trinity. Which is herself, Superman and Batman."
"Again, while she wasn't the first female superhero and her origins were… Debatable, she is the embodiment that ya don't have ta be a man ta be a superhero!" Wally smirked. "Back ta ya guys!"
The camera then went back to Drake, nodding his head. "Good job, guys!"
"Okay, pardon me if I sound like I am demeaning herself, but is Wonder Woman just a female Superman without the eye lasers and ice breath?" Ashley asked.
"Yes and no. She DOES have super strength and flight, but that is where the similarities end." Drake explained. "She is quick enough to deflect bullets with her bracelets and she is skilled with her trusty Lasso of Truth. Not only that, but she is skilled in swordswomanship and archery."
"Ah…" Ashley nodded.
"Oh, and she has an invisible jet." Drake said.
Ashley blinked twice. "...What?"
"It is like I said: She has an invisible jet." Drake shrugged.
"But… She could fly." Ashley pointed out. "It is like if Sonic the Hedgehog was in a car."
The two then shared an awkward silence.
"...Sonic actually RODE A CAR!?" Ashley exclaimed.
"Um…" Drake started.
Suddenly, a familiar alarm went off.
"Oh, look, it is the first Mystery Fighter of the section!" Drake said, quickly. "Let's go see what it is, shall we?"
Ashley just groaned, holding his head.
PICCOLO
NODE: DRAGON BALL Z
Ashley blinked twice. "...Isn't it unfair to have a character from Dragonball enter a tournament like this?"
"Oh, you are right, Ash, it IS unfair!" Drake exclaimed. "Not like Superman. Or Kratos. Or Wonder Woman. Or Geese Howard. Or…"
"Alright! Alright!" Ashley exclaimed with a groan. "Let's leave talking about to Dragonball to the specialists!"
The camera then went to Wally and Catherine. However, the latter was beating her tablet against her head.
Wally rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on! It is not THAT bad!"
"Not that bad!? Wally, Dragonball is THE Male Power Fantasy Anime!" Catherine snapped. "A bunch of super buff dudes constantly trying to outdo each other in power while screaming like banshees!"
Wally's ears drooped. "...Ah mean, it didn't started out that way."
Catherine raised her head. "Alright… THAT got me curious. What do you mean by that?"
"Well, the first Dragonball was a manga and later anime based off of the Chinese tale, Journey to the West as evident by Son Goku's tail, extending staff, nimbus cloud and of course, his name." Wally pointed out.
"Oh, right. Correct me if I am wrong, but even when in Z where they started to turn into said power fantasy, it was about finding seven balls called the… Well, Dragonballs, right?" Catherine asked.
Wally nodded his head. "Right. It is one of those collect all seven and you will get your wish granted."
Catherine shrugged. "Still better than we got."
Wally's eyebrow twitched. "Anywayyyyy… While Goku and his friends he made along the way were searching for them, the former was training for a big tournament. The anime was taken into six parts: The battle against Emperor Pilaf, the 21st World Tournament, the battle against the Red Ribbon Army, the 22ND World Tournament, the battle against Demon King PICCOLO and the 23RD World Tournament."
"Good grief. Not even the stereotypical shonen anime had that many tournament arcs." Catherine muttered.
"Soon, when Goku grows up in Z, he and his friends has to team up with former enemies to defeat greater foes." Wally explained.
"And you know what? That concept is fine! But the show kept trying and trying to outdo themselves with bigger and badder baddies!" Catherine snapped. "And they kept redeeming some of the irredeemable villains despite everything they did!"
Wally gave an exasperated face while putting his face on his chin. "Beerus."
"A child with the literal powers of a god who doesn't know any better." Catherine quickly retorted.
Wally rolled his eyes. "Well, despite what you think about Dragonball, you can't deny its popularity as one of the biggest shonen anime with its many spin-offs and movie, video games, where the latest one is one of the biggest ones on the gaming meta! People even get praying for him in Smash!"
Catherine groaned. "Ugh, say what you want about Waluigi, at least he has a better chance of getting into Smash!"
"...Ah don't know. After the likes of Steve and Sephiroth, Ah am still holding on while that other shoe drops." Wally frowned.
Catherine rolled her eyes. "Ugh, I think we did our job so back to you guys!"
The camera went back to an exasperated face. "No, WALLY did his job. Not you."
Ashley shook his head in hopelessness. "Anywayyyyy, despite what you said about my concerns of him, I still think that being a Dragonball character, he won the superpower lottery."
"Oh, he did. Super strength, super speed, flight, teleportation, stretchy arms, ki manipulation." Drake said with a descending whistle. "Not to mention that he has been around since the first anime! And boy, does he know it! But don't worry, like I said, nobody has to defeat Piccolo, just get him out of the ring before he could float or teleport back! And if not, look at the bright side!"
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "Hm?"
Drake then grinned. "Think about how much the ratings will go up!"
Ashley just groaned.
MALEFICENT
NODE: KINGDOM HEARTS/SLEEPING BEAUTY
BIG GUY ALERT!
Ashley's eyes widened at this. "So THE most iconic Disney villain makes her appearance…"
Drake rolled his eyes. "Too bad she was only prominent in the first Kingdom Hearts game."
Ashley glared at the vampire. "Oh, I am sorry! I doubt Catherine was the grumpy one!"
"Up yours!" The pink-haired woman snapped.
"No, seriously, she did squat all in 2 and 3 despite having a lot of hype behind her!" Drake snapped. "Seriously, she had the chance to kill Sora, the one who ruined her plans in 1, something that PETE, of all people, suggested and Maleficent was like "No"..."
"To be fair, Sora and Maleficent never interacted with each other after that…" Ashley frowned.
"What plans!? No, seriously, what plans!?" Drake exclaimed.
"Well, it was to find a black box. Something that the Organization was also looking for." Ashley reminded.
"Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And what makes you think that she and Pete will find it before the heroes or Xigbar?" Drake challenged. "Did you NOT see how much the Disney villains has been shafted for the Organization XIII?"
Ashley rolled his eyes. "Ugh… Wally, Catherine, do your thing."
The camera then went to Catherine, still looking annoyed by Ashley's comment. "Ugh, whatever… Wally, start us off."
The kangaroo just sternly crossed his arms.
Catherine looked at her partner, confused. "Um, Wally?"
"Ah am not going ta do anything for this segment." The boxer said, sternly. "Ya made me do all of the work on the last fighter and now ya have ta take responsible fer yer actions!"
Catherine blinked twice. "...You hate Sleeping Beauty, don't you?"
"It's a major snorefest!" Wally roared, making Catherine jump.
The pinkette just sighed before holding up her tablet. "Okay, okay, leave it to me… Sleeping Beauty is, of course, based on the fairy tale of the same name. It is about a king and queen who had a baby and invited all of the fairies. All except one."
"Aye, about that. Make no mistake, Maleficent did it like a boss, Ah won't deny that, but the fact that she cursed a BABY for getting snubbed is the embodiment of petty." Wally muttered.
"Not wrong… Then again, fairy tale villains were always petty." Catherine shrugged before continuing. "The vengeful fairy cursed the baby by having her prick her finger on a spindle when she is sixteenth and die. All of the fairies were unable to break the curse, but the youngest fairy has made to make sure that the child will only fall into a sleep-like state. Despite this, the king and queen has decided to burn all of the spindles in the kingdom."
"Well, THAT'S a bit excessive." Wally muttered. "Especially since it was all fer nothing."
"So yeah, after she eventually prick her finger, she fell into a sleep. I think you know the rest, a prince finds him and kisses her awake." Catherine started. She then paused. "Which is admittedly very creepy. And you would think it would be a Happily Ever After, but there was more to the fairy tale. But we are not covering it, just what inspired the Disney movie.
"Okay, I know that early Disney heroes and princesses were always weak in terms of character, but Aurora is arguably the weakest Disney Princess the company has ever made and I literally can't tell Phillip from Prince Charming and the prince from Snow White!" Wally exclaimed.
Catherine paused. "...Oh, so THAT'S why you like it."
"Aye! Say what ya will about the Maleficent movie, but at least it made Aurora more character. Hell, PHILLIP got more character and his entire appearance is one big joke!" Wally pointed out.
"...And that's the problem." Catherine pointed out.
"Hm?" Wally asked.
"The reason you dislike the movie is because you were focusing on Aurora and Phillip, right?" Catherine asked.
"Riiiight." Wally asked, wondering what Catherine meant.
"Well, what happened if you focus more on the three fairies?" The pink-haired woman asked.
Wally paused. "...Ah don't mind them. No, in fact, their scenes, along with Maleficent are the saving grace."
"Well, some people think that the fairies are the true heroes." Catherine explained.
"Ah… Don't disagree. But Ah doubt that was what Disney was planning." Wally said.
Catherine just shrugged. "I guess. But still, when Sleeping Beauty got the live-action treatment, it was MALEFICENT who got the spotlight with Aurora being a supporting character."
"True…" Wally mused. "She was actually badass in that movie. Too bad she got shafted by in the games."
Catherine just shrugged. "Well, I will explain more, but I think we spent too much time on this. Guys, back to you."
The camera went to a stunned Ashley. "Um… I know that we are covering Sleeping Beauty, but it feels like we are covering the Hunchback of Notre Dame!"
Drake raised an eyebrow. "Um, dare I ask why?"
"Because it feels like Topsy Turvy Day with you guys!" Ashley pointed out.
Drake rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay, so what are Maleficent's abilities?"
"Well, being a powerful fairy, she has a lot of access to spells so I am only going to cover the ones that she used in the first Kingdom Hearts game and Birth by Sleep." Ashley said before stifling a cough. "Pyromancy, electromancy in form of short bursts and bolts from above, teleportation, a spell that stuns opponents around her for several moments and summoning meteors of heaven."
Drake raised an eyebrow. "No dragon form?"
"I doubt it. Usually that is reserved for a last-ditch effort and while Maleficent is most likely in this tournament to win, I doubt it will be the end of the world for her if she loses." Ashley shrugged.
"Fair enough. You know, the more you talk about her, the more I realize why I didn't like Maleficent." Drake noted.
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"...She has much more potential than what she was given with." Drake muttered.
Ashley let out a deep sigh. "I agree… At least she doesn't have that many limitations in the arena."
PENELOPE
NODE: SLY COOPER
Drake and Ashley both grunted in disgust.
"Okay… Let's be fair here." Drake admitted. "I don't hate Penelope being a traitor as a CONCEPT."
"But concept and execution are two different things." Ashley lamented. "They completely ruined Penelope's character just for shock value."
"Agreed. Man, is Sly 4 a mess…" Drake muttered.
Ashley shook his head. "So what is HER abilities?"
"Well, she fights in a knight-like mech which is actually doesn't have anything that fancy like lasers. Just punching." Drake noted. "Though she DOES have a RC car and helicopter to help her and if push comes to shove, she is actually a decent sword-fighter."
Ashley's eyes bugged out at this. "No lie?"
"No lie." Drake said. "After getting kidnapped by LeFwee and having to be saved by Bentley, Penelope ended up returning the favour."
"...Can we cut this short? All this talk about Penelope in 3 really twists the knife further." Ashley frowned.
Drake returned the frown. "Definitely."
SPLASH WOMAN
NODE: MEGAMAN
"And here we have Megaman's first female Robot Master!" Drake grinned.
"...I knew that Dr. Wily was not a nice person, but he seems like a low-key sexist." Ashley frowned.
"To be fair, not ALL Robot Masters were originally created by Dr. Wily." Drake reminded. "Hell, when Dr. Light DID had a female robot, she was a HOUSE-CLEANING robot."
Ashley winced at this.
"Yeah, granted, this was from a simpler time, but if this came out in current times?" Drake asked before shaking his head. "Never mind, let's go onto Splash Woman's combat capabilities."
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "But wasn't her fight underwater?"
"It was. But while her moveset is limited, she is far from helpless." Drake said. "She still has her trident that sends out… Well, laser tridents."
"She is actually one of the nere Robot Masters, do you think that will hinder her?" Ashley asked.
"She may be new, but maybe she will add a feminine touch to what previous Robot Masters lack." Drake shrugged.
WHIP
NODE: KING OF FIGHTERS XIV
"And here we have someone who clearly had too much time on her nickname!" Drake grinned.
"Drake!" Ashley scolded.
"Just saying it like it is." The vampire shrugged. "Well, sure, they are very few whip-users, but still, it is like giving someone the codename of sword and gun."
Ashley rolled his eyes. "So I assume that Whip is a zoner?"
"She is. But whipping, ensnaring and web-slinging isn't all she could do." Drake pointed out. "Her whip, which is called Voodoo, could turn into a blade or gun."
Ashley's eyes bugged out at this. "Wait… What?"
"Yeah! And speaking of guns, she has a Desert Eagle concealed in her hood." Drake said.
"How… How is THAT allowed in the KoF tournaments?" Ashley exclaimed.
"Considering that most of the tournament hosts are villains, I guess anything goes." Drake muttered. "No, seriously, Nakoruru brings her ATTACK HAWK into said tournaments."
SIR RALEIGH
NODE: SLY COOPER
Drake grunted in disgust. "Remember when we said that Penelope is an interesting concept, but a poor execution? Well, Sir Raleigh was dead on arrival!"
"Why? What's HIS story?" Ashley asked.
"He used to be an aristocrat, born with a silver spoon in his mouth." Drake explained. "Then, one day, he got bored and turned to piracy."
Ashley blinked twice. "...That's it?"
Drake nodded his head with an annoyed look "That's it."
"Wow, at least everyone else more or less has an excuse for their crimes." Ashley muttered. "Granted, it doesn't justify their actions, but still…"
"No, no, the Sly Cooper games went out of their way to show that even the most dangerous criminals ended up as humans. But this guy?" Drake asked. "He's the one percent?"
Ashley shook his head. "Well, how does he fight?"
"By eating nearby flies and making himself inflate before bouncing around." Drake explained.
"And what else?" Ashley asked.
"Well, spinning his tongue around as a desperation attack and… That's it." Drake shrugged.
Ashley blinked twice. "Wait. That's it?"
"Yeah, compared to other bosses, his boss fight is extremely underwhelming." Drake said. "Especially jarring when you remember he is a tech genius. Then again, he IS a first boss, but Dimitri, Don Octavio and even El Jefe were more memorable than him!"
"Well, the series do have to start SOMEWHERE." Ashley shrugged.
ROXAS
NODE: KINGDOM HEARTS
Drake paused. "Huh. That's weird. I thought you could only enter the arena once. Since when did Roxas get another chance?"
"Drake!" Ashley scolded.
"Oh, come on!" The vampire snapped. "How could I NOT make that joke!?"
Ashley rolled his eyes. "Well, it is hard to explain Roxas' moveset except that it focuses on summoning pillars of light."
"As opposed to everyone else?" Drake, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes and no. I think streaks of light is his signature as shown in his boss fight in 2 and his Limit Break in 358/2 days." Ashley explained. "Oh, he prefers the Firaga spell line."
Drake blinked twice. "Um, since when?"
"I admit that I am exaggerating, but that is the spell he uses to kill aerial Heartless of Melody of Memory." Ashley shrugged.
Drake slapped his head. "Oh, right! I can't believe I forget when I actually played that game!"
"Then again, the game is less about advancing new plots and recapping so it makes it easier to play through!" Ashley beamed. His face then fell. "I still haven't gotten all of the notes though."
Drake frowned before putting a hand on Ashley's shoulder. "There, there. Most people didn't."
Then, the alarm went off.
"Oh, it is time for the second Mystery Fighter!" Drake noted.
"Well, maybe this will distract me from my failures." Ashley muttered.
GARZOOKA
NODE: GARFIELD/GARFIELD'S PET FORCE
Drake and Ashley blinked twice.
"...Um, why is Garfield merged with an exaggerated body of a superhero?" Ashley asked.
"Hoo boy. It is Catherine to the rescue once again."
The camera then focused on Wally and Catherine with the latter looking proud.
"Wait, you actually KNOW this guy, Cat?" Wally asked in disbelief.
"Yeah, but first things first, cover Garfield so you will have something to do." The pink-clad young woman offered.
Wally raised an eyebrow. "Um, okay. Well, where do Ah even start with Garfield? It is one of the most well-known newspaper comics of all time. It is created by Jim Davis. Though it didn't started as Garfield. It started as Jon."
"Jon as in Garfield's owner." Catherine pointed out.
"Yeah, it was a slice of life comic about cartoonist Jon Arbuckle and his pets, Garfield, his roommate, Lyman and the latter's dog, Spot." Wally explained. "Fer the record, it is lately renamed Odie. From what Ah could gather… Jon and Lyman were fraternity brothers and it showed by having Jon stalk a waitress called Liz while looking down on another waitress called Irma."
Catherine grunted in disgust. "Jim Davis must be a fan of Andy Capp at the time."
Wally chuckled nervously. "Anyway, the comic kinda flopped so Jim Davis trying branching out to Garfield and while the start was more than a bit rocky, it ended up as one of the longest running and most popular newspaper comics of all time, rivalring Peanuts and Calvin and Hobbes!"
"And there is more to it!" Catherine noted.
"Aye, Cat! The premise is simple: Garfield is a lazy, gluttonous and downright mean-spirited cat who loves picking on the dimwitted Odie, taunting his lucky-with-love Jon." Wally started.
"Until he and Liz somehow actually hooked up." Catherine muttered.
"...His on-and-off relationship with Arlene and his sitcom arch-nemesis with Nermal!" Wally continued. "While simple, it actually was a big hit. With it not only lasting for so long, but also spawning several TV specials, two cartoons and even a couple of video games."
"But what about the live…" Catherine started.
"We do NOT talk about them!" Wally roared, making Catherine jump. "S-So… I could explain more, but about Pet Force."
The young woman shook her head. "Sooo… Garfield's Pet Force is a spin-off of the aforementioned Garfield. It was based on the artists screwing around with a picture of Garfield as a superhero and they decided to do something with them."
"It DOES sounds interesting. GARFIELD as a superhero." Wally noted.
"Indeed, the story is about Garfield, Odie, Arlene, Nermal and Garfield's teddy bear Pooky being brought into an alternate universe." Catherine explained. "Only said alternate universe had them as superheroes called the Pet Force, Jon as the Big Good Emperor, Liz as the main antagonist… And Binky the Clown as the sorcerer for some reason?"
"...It is a good thing that Orange ended his Screaming With Binky series, but Ah do NOT want ta know what will happen if he did it with THIS guy as a sorcerer." Wally muttered.
"The original Pet Force has gotten captured so Jon and Binky summoned the alternate versions to be said superheroes." Catherine explained. "To take the place."
Wally smirked. "Heh. Ah bet Garfield is NOT happy to hear THAT."
Catherine returned the smirk. "No, he isn't. Anyway, at the end of the day, they won and they went back home. But they came back for four more issues."
Wally raised an eyebrow. "Just four?"
"Unfortunately, the comics were quite niche and we never got any hide or hair of them until they appeared in a movie using the graphics of the Garfield Show." Catherine explained. "Or and this commercial. ...Which I am not going to describe because I just KNOW that you will say something gross."
Wally blinked twice.
"So yes, Garfield's Pet Force was a weird entry, but it is still something worth checking out if you like the humour of Garfield AND superhero comics." Catherine explained. "Back to you, guys. By the way, I am sending you a quick summary on Garzooka's powers."
The camera then went back to Drake, lookin at his tablet "Thanks, Cat! Knew we could count on you!"
Ashley adjusted his glasses. "What does it say, Drake?"
"Well, his powers don't have much in terms of quantity, but definitely has quantity." Drake noted. "Garzooka has super strength, razor-sharp claws and… Radiation-powered hairballs."
Ashley blinked twice. "...Radiation-powered hairballs…?"
"...Superhero comic or not, this IS still a Garfield comic." Drake shrugged.
Ashley just shook his head in disgust. "Maybe he has shock value on his side."
RAPUNZEL
NODE: KINGDOM HEARTS/TANGLED
Ashley immediately got angry. "Now that just makes me mad!"
Drake jumped at this. "W-What?"
"How about Rapunzel gets to be in, but not Ariel!?" Ashley scolded.
Drake blinked twice. "Um, because she could only fight as a mermaid?"
"So? Rapunzel could only fight with her hair and guess what happened at the end of Tangled? Flynn cuts it off!" Ashley pointed out. "And it is not like this is any different in Kingdom Hearts! After her hair has cut off, she is permanently not a party member any more!"
Drake frowned. "But even if Ariel could be a mermaid, what she will do? Having a permanent surge of water underneath her?"
Ashley just narrowed his eyes. "...Yes."
Drake paused. "What…?"
Ashley then started to figure with his tablet before showing it to Drake. The vampire leaned in.
"...Disney's Sorcerer's Arena." Drake muttered.
Ashley just grumpily crossed his arms.
"Um, well, you see…" Drake sputtered before brightening up. "Hey, a movie with a heroic horse and a pet chameleon! Catherine, your favourite!"
The camera then went to Catherine rolling her eyes. "Real mature, Drake."
Wally shook his head. "Tangled is once again ANOTHER Disney movie based on a classic fairy tale. This time, Rapunzel. It is about a young girl who gets locked up in a tower by an evil witch."
"Sure, on paper. May I remind you that the reason the witch did that was because Rapunzel's father stole vegetables from her." Catherine pointed out. "Sure, she overreacted, but still Rapunzel has done the crime first!"
"Ah guess… Anyway, Rapunzel's hair had grown long. Like not just anime pretty-boy long, but really long." Wally noted. "No, seriously, how does she keep that thing clean?"
"Whenever the witch wants to come up to the tower, she will say these words "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down to hair" and Rapunzel will let down her absurdly long hair." Catherine frowned. "This continued on for who knows how long."
"Until one day, a prince, by chance was making his way past until the tour until he heard her voice and said "Damn, now THAT'S the voice of an angel." Wally said.
Catherine rolled her eyes. "The prince caught the witch doing her ritual chant and when she was gone, he did the same and it is that love at first sight nonsense. Which is for fairy tales tame enough, but still, bleh."
"But then the witch walked in on them and while how she did it depends on the version, she made the prince fell out of the tower and face-first into a bush of rose thorn bushes where he got blinded. Meanwhile, the princess was banished to the desert." Wally explained with a wince. "Damn! The original fairy tales were DARK!"
"But in the end, the prince and the princess has somehow managed to not only find each other, but her tears has managed to cure his blindness, despite having his eyes GOUGED out and got married." Catherine shrugged. "While darker, they also have the worst times of ass pulls."
"The Disney version expanded on this by making the witch use a flower to stay young forever. However, Rapunzel's father used the flower to cure his ill wife." Wally explained. "And some of that magic flower has been transferred to Rapunzel. Which was a boon and a bane as the witch kidnapped the poor baby. There, the witch, Mother Gothel had Rapunzel's hair long because that is the source of her magic."
"That is actually quite clever. Even though I am not a fan of Flynn Rider." Catherine frowned.
Wally jumped at this. "W-What!? Flynn is awesome!"
"I guess he is definitely one of the better Disney "Princes", but appearance-wise, he is a "bad boy prettyboy"." Catherine explained. "Old concepts showed a less traditional Disney "prince" design."
"Oh, ya mean the Jack Black one?" Wally asked.
"Yes." Catherine said before sighing. "But to be fair, until I saw those concepts, I have no problems with Flynn so that is testament to the movie by himself. OH, and who could forget Maximus and Pascal? No, seriously, they even got their own spin-off short!"
Wally chuckled. "So aye, definitely one of the better modern Disney movies in my opinion with a strong cast. Back ta ya!"
The camera then went to Drake grinning, sheepishly. "R-Right! So Ash, wasn't that educational?"
Ashley just crossed his arms in an annoyed face. "...So Rapunzel obviously uses her hair as a whip, right?"
"R-Right. She could do various things with her hair." Drake noted. "Take what I said about Whip's normal attacks with her whip and apply them here."
"And SHE could heal herself and potential allies with her song." Ashley explained. "So while new to the world, she is more than prepared to fight."
The two then paused.
"...She is going to get an elimination by someone tripping on her hair and falling out of the arena, isn't she?" Ashley asked.
"Considering what happened thus far. That is a strong chance." Drake shrugged.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, pick up yer hair!" Wally shouted from off-screen.
Catherine could be heard giggling. "I knew that you are more innocent than what others think about you, Wally, to make a reference like that."
Drake and Ashley just blinked twice, not getting said reference.
FOX McCLOUD
NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/STAR FOX
"And here we have the lead of StarFox himself!" Drake grinned.
Ashley blinked twice. "Um, I know that we are supposed to talk about Fox, but may I go off-topic just for this one segment."
"Um, sure." Drake said, raising an eyebrow.
"Since when are Kairi and Roxas so mean-spirited?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah… It seems quite out-of-character for them." Drake noted. "Though what gets ME is that Fox doesn't seem mad. I mean, he seems annoyed, but in a "Not this crap again" way."
"That's because while they are heroic teenagers, they are still teenagers and as such, subjectable to meme culture."
Ashley and Drake jumped before turning to see a familiar crystal ball.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Drake asked.
"After Kairi and Roxas… Demonstrated their master tact with Fox, the story cut the Locker Room of Super Smash Bros Locker Room." Cacey explained. "According to Mario, it is because of the TheRunawayGuys's playthrough of Star Fox 64."
Ashley blinked twice before holding his head. "Let me guess. A common schtick is the TheRunawayguys taking Wolf and Pigma's taunting of Fox's late father."
"Yyyyyep." Cacey sighed.
Ashley slapped his forehead. "TheRunawayGuys are one of the nicest Youtuber groups of all time. How do they spawn such… Memes?"
"That is meme culture in a nutshell." Cacey muttered.
"Yeah…" Drake said. "Anyway, thanks, Cacey."
"No problem." The secretary reassured before floating off.
Ashley shook his head. "So we are already covered Falco. What does Fox have that differs?"
"Well, while both are agile fighters, Fox is much faster and not as skilled as aerial combat than Falco." Drake explained. "Also, his Deflector is stationary and his blaster could fire multiple times dealing quick, but weak and non-flinching damage."
"Well, Falco has already gotten one elimination. Do you think Fox will get one?" Ashley asked.
"There is a strong chance." Drake noted. He then smirked. "After all, he doesn't want to end up like his fa…"
Ashley promptly sent a bolt of electricity at Drake, zapping him.
GREEN LANTERN
NODE: DC COMICS/GREEN LANTERN
"Well, we could confirm that THIS Green Lantern is THE John Stewart!" Drake beamed. "Confirming that the line-up of the original Justice League character are here."
"Well, that is a relief because no offense to Hal Jordan, but I actually grew up with John Stewart." Ashley said.
"I did too." Drake nodded. "Yo, guys. Shed us some light about Green Lantern."
The camera then focused on Wally and Catherine.
"Leave it to us! First off, this would be interesting ta note that Hal Jordan was NOT the first Green Lantern?" Wally explained. "It was actually Alan Scott!"
"He came from All-American Comics, a series of comic magazines. Said comics actually debut characters like the Atom, Solomon Grundy and even previously aforementioned, Red Tornado." Catherine explained. "The female one, I mean."
"But Green Lantern ended up breaking out into its own. It all started with this mysterious green flame that came to Earth as a meteor." Wally explained.
"Like all superhero origins go." Catherine said, rolling her eyes.
Wally wagged his finger. "Uh-uh-uh. Alan is actually the third person the flame interacted with. The first one was a lamp-maker from thousands of years ago. The second one was a mentally ill man. Alan was a simple young railroad engineer when the flame spoke to him and told him to fashion a ring from its metal. There, Alan created a literal ring of power. He actually started out as a firefighter."
"Of course that is a far-cry from the Green Lantern we know nowadays. Or rather, the Green Lantern Corps. An intergalactic law enforcement group." Catherine explained. "Where each lantern got their own that works only for them and you have to have a LOT of willpower to use it."
"Actually, there is multi-coloured rings. Based on emotion: Special examples being the Red Lanterns which are powered by Rage and White Lanterns which are powered by people brought back from the dead." Wally explained.
Catherine rolled her eyes. "It is Kryptonite all over again."
"But yeah, there have been multiple Green Lanterns like Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner. So there is no TRUE Green Lantern. Unless ya want ta look at the original." Wally explained.
"Even still, Green Lantern is one of the most iconic people in the DC universe." Catherine pointed out. "Regardless of which one. Except Guy Gardner. He's a douche."
Wally chuckled nervously. "Well, I guess he is. Back ta yer mates."
The camera then went back to Ashley. "Thanks, guys!"
"Now Green Lantern has actually won the superpower lottery." Drake said. "He could create so many things with his Lantern Ring. Beams, barries, weapons, the sky is the limit with their own mental strength."
"Oh, so he has NO weaknesses?" Ashley asked.
"Well, he IS weak to wood and the colour yellow." Drake said.
Ashley blinked twice. "The colour yellow?"
"The colour yellow." Drake said before letting out a deep sigh. "Old day comics were weird."
MOJO JOJO
NODE: CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH TIME EXPLOSION/THE POWERPUFF GIRLS
BIG GUY ALERT!
Ashley's face fell. "Oh no…"
"He has arrived, Mojo Jojo, to make up for his node's poor record thus far. Despite being an arch-enemy. He is still a Cartoon Network character and while a villain, he must avenge them!" Drake grinned. "Plus, if he does well, he will prove to his arch-enemies, the Powerpuff Girls that he, Mojo Jojo, is THE star of the show, the Powerpuff Girls! Not only that, but…"
"ENOUGH!" Ashley shouted at the top of his lungs.
Drake jumped at this before scoffing. "Party-pooper…"
Ashley put his hand on his head. "Just… Just tell me how he fights."
"Well, being that he is a technical genius, he fights with high-tech weapons and beaker projectiles." Drake explained. "So he is a zoner."
Ashley nodded his head. "That makes sense."
"Also, he has a LOT of endurance." Drake noted.
Ashley winced. "You HAVE to be to take a beating from the Powerpuff Girls on a regular basis. If that was me, I would quit."
"Yeah, but where would be the fun in that?" Drake smirked.
The alarm went off.
"And speaking of fun, let's see which one of Bluesy's suggestions had gotten in!" Drake smirked.
KITTY KATZWELL
NODE: T.U.F.F. PUPPY
Ashley raised an eyebrow. "Huh. Her art style makes it look like she would fit into Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom."
"She should." Drake noted. "She is created by the same creator, Butch Hartman. Speaking of which, I admittedly didn't watch a single episode of T.U.F.F. Puppy sooo… Wally, Catherine, this is the last one so make it count!"
The camera then went to a grinning Catherine. "Oh, we will! T.U.F.F. Puppy is, as Drake said, a Nickelodeon cartoon that have been created by the late Butch Hartman."
Wally blinked twice. "Late? Did he die?"
"No, but he is dead to me, along with everyone else!" Catherine snapped.
Wally raised a finger before narrowing his eyes. "Fair enough."
"But yeah, as much as I hate that guy for reasons that would make this too long here, I still love the show so let's try to stay positive, alright?" Catherine offered.
Wally merely shrugged his shoulders. "Well, Ah don't dislike the show so that shouldn't be too hard. But anyway, T.U.F.F. Puppy is a superspy comedy cartoon where Dudley Puppy, a dim-witted, but good-hearted dog who became a member of the titular spy organization, T.U.F.F. where he became partners with the more level-headed Kitty."
"There isn't much to talk about in terms of plot, admittedly. It is early Butch Hartman humour with a spy twist coupled with cute animals." Catherine explained. "I admit that I only barely watch it for said animals."
Wally rolled his eyes. "So I noticed."
"But yeah, the cartoon doesn't take itself too seriously and mainly just had fun with whatever wacky situations they could think of." Catherine added. "To be fair, there isn't too much to talk about in terms of history. What could be said about Butch's special brand of humour could be traced back to Fairly Oddparents and to some extent, Danny Phantom."
Wally raised an eyebrow. "Didn't those three end up in a crossover commercial?"
Catherine's eyes widened at this. "Oh, right! How could I forget that? Along with Bunsen Is A Beast!"
"Woah… That guy really went to work on Nickelodeon." Wally noted.
"Indeed, he did. Which makes it even MORE disappointing when he turned out to be a prick." Catherine spat. "But yeah, maybe there would be more to talk about T.U.F.F. Puppy if it didn't get cancelled after its third season. Still, I think it is underrated. There are better cartoons? Definitely. But watching it is harmless. Back to you guys."
The camera went to Drake, nodding his head. "Thanks, guys."
"So I have to ask. Is Kitty a serious fighter or a comical fighter?" Ashley asked.
Drake scratched the back of his head. "I think… A mixture of both? She is the "Sane One" so she takes her spy experience very seriously. On the OTHER hand, she is the cartoon's Butt Monkey."
Ashley winced. "Ooh…"
"Truth be told, I think anyone would be the Butt Monkey if paired up with Dudley Puppy. " Drake shrugged. "Also, she gets distracted by things cats would get distracted like mice and scratching posts."
Ashley blinked twice before letting out a deep sigh. "At the end of the day, she is a Butch Hartman character through and through."
"Well, that is everyone!" Drake grinned. "Now King Shark, Maleficent and Mojo are Big Guys so eighteen people will be eliminated this section."
"Also, the Side Battle will be Agent 9 from Spyro the Dragon, Pai from Tokyo Mew Mew and Cole from Playstations All-Stars Battle Royale against Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness from Kingdom Hearts!" Ashley announced.
"...I love how you feel like you had to add in his title to make sure that nobody mistakes him for Ansem the Wise." Drake muttered.
"Shut up…" Ashley growled before looking at the camera. "Every vote counts so make yours count!"
