LINK TO SECTION RESULTS A BELOW

We now return to Drake, Ashley, Wally and Catherine in the V.I.P. room. They were all smiling while wearing cloaks.

"Andddddd we are here!" Drake grinned. "The first part of the results of the final section!"

"And as expected, it was huge!" Wally grinned.

Ashley's smile vanished. "Especially at the end…"

Drake, Wally and Catherine chuckled nervously.

"Aye, ya could say it was EXPLOSIVE." Wally said.

"For those who isn't caught in the loop, Junko tried to kill the Final Twelve with bombs." Catherine frowned.

"I still can't get over how… Avoidable most of the plot!" Ashley snapped. "All Xero had to do was to lock up Junko or ban her! But nope… In his infinite wisdom, he let her be a THIRD host and allowed her to set up everything that happened!"

"...Not helping is how she first officially appeared." Catherine frowned.

"Not helping is how she first officially appeared!" Ashley exclaimed. "JUNK O, ENO-SHI-MAR! Literally the ENTIRE multiverse is in danger because Xero cannot use common sense! Junko's plans would have fallen apart before they began if a more competent host was in charge!"

"It IS kinda wild when you think about it." Drake admitted.

"Drake, I swear, if you make a blunder like that in the third Battle of the Luminaries, I WILL start to learn holy magic." Ashley growled.

The vampire jumped. "Good grief! I know that I could be wild myself, but even I would hold the line at inviting Junko! Why do you think I invited someone with a lot of power, but is not a good person."

CLICK!

"Even SSBFreak had an excuse because Sheogorath 100% fixed up the Megamix Dome so it wasn't fer him, we wouldn't get the Okron Tournament OR the fourth Megamix Tournament." Wally frowned.

CLICK!

"...And what is even more insulting is Xero tried to compare his decision to SSBFreak inviting Shadow, Astaroth and Aila?" Ashley grunted in disgust. "All they did was humiliate people they don't like. That's all! Junko actively tried to have everyone killed!"

"To be fair, while this is primarily Xero's fault, I also blame the audience for encouraging him." Catherine frowned. "Even after Junko tried to kill the Final Twelve, they cheered! It is like that reaction image! My expectations for humans were low but holy fuck!"

"Aye, their apathy is no longer charming!" Wally said, sternly.

"Their apathy was NEVER charming!" Ashley and Catherine scolded.

"ENOUGH!"

Ashley, Wally and Catherine jumped at this as Drake got up, looking stern.

"YES, we could have avoided this plot completely! YES, we shouldn't be talking about that!" Drake scolded. "But this is exactly what Junko wants!"

Ashley, Wally and Catherine paused.

"Those twelve fighters nearly got killed and yet they will want to fight! Why? Because if they don't, then Junko wins!" Drake snapped. "There are still going on! So why can't WE follow THEIR example?"

Ashley, Wally and Catherine looked at each other.

"...You are right, Drake." Ashley sighed. "As angry as I am with Xero, taking our anger out on him wouldn't help us advance forward."

"Those mates are fighting. Not just fer themselves. But fer EVERYONE." Wally nodded.

"Yeah, if we got the time to be petty, we should be petty towards Junko." Catherine explained.

"Exactly! We don't have time to complain!" Drake grinned.

Ashley, Wally and Catherine smiled and nodded.

"Good, now I am going on ahead!" Drake grinned. He then looked at the camera. "For those you don't know, at the first Battle of the Luminaries, Xero and Maurice showed up in the nodes of the eliminated fighters of the final sections!"

"EEEE! I can't wait! There are so many nodes I wanted to finish!" Catherine squealed.

"As for the ones that died in their node or can't even talk?" Ashley asked. "Don't worry, we already thought of that!"

"So what are we waiting fer?" Wally grinned. "We got some eliminated people to visit!"

Drake nodded his head before walking off with the others watching him leave.

"...Ah think the third Battle of the Luminaries will be in good hands." Wally noted.

"Yeah, he has the creative energy of Xero without the latter's… Flaws." Catherine giggled.

"Yeah, I couldn't think of a more worthy host." Ashley chuckled.

(Nuclear Weapon Facility; Library)

We now went to Drake inside of a library while… Sitting on an unconscious thug. With him was Hein from King of Fighters XIV, also sitting on a different thug.

"Here we are, going in order of people eliminated!" Drake grinned. "And here we have our first one, Hein!"

The butler gave a small smile before bowing. "Charmed."

HEIN

NODE: KING OF FIGHTERS XIV

SIXTH PERSON TO ENTER IN SECTION THIRTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY MONKEY

Drake raised an eyebrow. "I must say, you are pretty chill for someone who is the first one out."

Hein merely sighed. "It can't be helped. I am still relatively new to the gaming universe so I was up against much more experienced fighters."

"So that is why you tried to trick Tails and Monkey into entering Peacock's trap?" Drake asked.

"Indeed. I was willing to let her get an elimination in exchange that I would perform a sneak attack on her." Hein frowned. "But I grossly underestimated the common sense of the fox and the monkey and even though I still felt like I could do better than first elimination, I confess that this is karma in a way."

"Hey, come on." Drake frowned, putting his hand on Hein's shoulder. "You may have gone out first, but that doesn't mean you went out like a chump."

The dark-blue haired man gave a small smile and nodded. "I still felt like I could do better, but for now, that is all I am content with him."

"Now Hein, before the interview properly started, I showed you the footage of what happened after that." Drake reminded.

"Indeed. I do NOT envy the rabbit and by extension, the bull, when the tournament is over." Hein frowned.

"And then some." Drake said, rolling his eyes before stifling a cough. "But that is not what I wanted to talk about. I merely wish to know if there is someone in the Final Twelve, you are rooting for."

"Ah, yes. Terry Bogard." Hein answered. Drake jumped at this, but the former just chuckled. "Indeed, I suppose it is strange for me to root for the arch-enemy of my employer. However, despite Mr. Howard and Billy may let on, they both sang Terry's praises and considering how proud those two are, that is more than worthy to prove that he is one to bet on."

"Heh. Fair enough." Drake nodded. He then looked at the camera. "Anyway, we are done here so we are going to you, Ash."

Then, the two heard groaned. Drake and Hein paused before looking down to see the thug that Drake was sitting on was slowly gaining consciousness.

"...Huh. I thought he was dead." Drake mused.

"So did I." Hein admitted. He then adjusted his gloves. "Mr. Drake, if I may be so bold, I strongly recommend that you go on ahead to prepare to interview the next person. It seems that I have more cleaning than I thought."

"Um, nah, that's cool." Drake said, blinking twice before looking at the camera. "And I thought Royal Highness was like Walter."

(Bahia Bay; Outdoor Eating Area)

Ashley was sitting at a table close to the beach. He was sharing a plate of chilli cheese fries with Charmy Bee from Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Hmm… This is good." Ashley said, taking a bite from one of said fries.

"I know, right?" Charmy grinned.

"So anyway, I am with Charmy Bee!" Ashley said to the camera.

"Heyo!" Charmy grinned, waving his hand to the camera.

CHARMY BEE

NODE: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SINCE SECTION TWENTY-TWO

ELIMINATED ELLIS FROM BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN

ELIMINATED BY PENNY PROUD

"I must say, I knew that you were the enthusiastic type, but to think that you would be so chipper about being the second one out." Ashley mused.

"Hey, it is not like my time in the ring completely stank." Charmy reminded. "I still got an elimination to my name before the Final Thirty."

"True." Ashley chuckled.

"Also, compared to getting slammed into the ground by a Digimon, literally dying of boredom from Superman 64 and teaming up with the Piranha Plant of Rayman against that Axe-Boy, there is not much to complain about here." Charmy noted.

"Indeed." Ashley nodded. He then paused. "You really underestimated Penny Proud, didn't you?"

Charmy sighed. "Yeah, I knew that the Proud Family had a few games, but I never thought that she of all people would be in a wrestling match."

"Neither did I. It seems that you are not the only one that took moves from obscure games." Ashley noted.

"Yeah, maybe we should get on that." Charmy mused. He then snapped his fingers. "Oh, maybe we could use moves from that fan fighting game!"

Ashley blinked twice. "Is that even allowed?"

"Considering it has its own fighting game community, I think it is fine!" Charmy shrugged.

"Huh. Learn something new every section." Ashley mused. "So who are you rooting for?"

"Well, I think that I am going for nodal pride and root for Tails." Charmy offered.

"That is a valid point." Ashley nodded. "Okay, Wally, it is your turn. Best of luck!"

He then muttered.

"...Lord knows you are going to need it."

He then noticed Tino, Lor, Carver and Tish looking at him with strange looks. He then sighed.

"Yes, I know that it is uncommon for a man to have such long, flowing hair." Ashley muttered, rolling his eyes. "But it is not that rare."

Carver puted at this. "My hair doesn't need to be flowing to be beautiful…"

Tino looked at Carver in disbelief. "Your priorities are right on as usual."

(Yugoslavia; Ren & Stimpy's House)

We now went to Wally inside of a house. However, unlike Drake and Ashley, he didn't seem that ecstatic as Billy & Mandy from Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion sat at his sides. Next to them were Stimpy and Ren, respectively.

"Here we are!" Wally said, trying to force a grin. "With Billy & Mandy."

"I am SO glad to meet Rocko!" Billy grinned.

Wally slapped his forehead. "Ugh, fer the LAST time, I am NOT Rocko. Hell, Rocko isn't even a kangaroo, he is a wallaby!"

"What is the difference?" Billy asked. "You are both marsupials."

"There is a big difference!" Wally roared.

"Normally, I would just let you try in vain to make sense with Billy." Mandy said, darkly. "But you forced me to do this stupid interview and I HATE my time being wasted."

BILLY & MANDY

NODE: CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH-TIME EXPLOSION/THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY AND MANDY

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SINCE SECTION TWENTY-TWO

ELIMINATED VILLAGER FROM SUPER SMASH BROS

ELIMINATED BY ICHIGO MOMOMIYA

Wally yelped. "B-But you aren't doing anything right now! You are just waiting until your ten minutes are up!"

"I still hate my time getting wasted." Mandy scoffed. "Which is why I am going to give Grim hell for not doing my chores. That is why I am willing to let Ditzy Catgirl #85 eliminate us."

"...Ya DO know that as we speak, Junko Enoshima is trying ta spread despair ta the entire multiverse, right?" Wally said, narrowing his eyes.

"I fail to see how that is MY problem." Mandy scoffed.

Wally's eyebrow twitched at this. "Sooo who will you be rooting for?" Wally asked.

"Ooh, ooh, I know, Mr. Rocko!" Billy grinned.

Wally growled. "Yes, Billy?"

"I want to root for Banjo & Kazooie because they fight together just like Mandy and me!" The large-nosed boy grinned.

"That's…" Wally said before blinking twice and smiling. "Actually very sweet. How about ya, Mandy?"

"Bugs Bunny." The blonde said.

Wally jumped at this. "You actually answered without hesitation."

"Mainly because I just wanted to get this over with." Mandy spat. "Besides, I always wanted Bugs' powers so it is more or less naturally that I want someone with said powers to win."

Wally shuddered. "Um, sure."

"Can we please end this already?" Mandy muttered. "I am already having my hands full with the Chihuahua's boyfriend."

Ren's eyes bugged out at this. "Excuse me!?"

Wally's ears drooped. "Uh-oh…"

Mandy looked at Ren. "Oh, don't worry, I don't know what you see in this stupid cat in particular, but you are into dudes, not even I have to right to say otherwise."

Billy blinked twice before looking at Stimpy. "You are gay?"

"This is the first I heard of it as well." The Marx cat admitted, scratching the back of his head.

"You are not, you eediot!" Ren roared before glaring at Mandy. "I'M not gay!"

Mandy blinked twice. "...That's not what the internet says."

Ren's eyebrow twitched before getting out a hammer. Wally, Billy and Stimpy looked worried at this. Mandy just paused before getting out a baseball bat.

"...I do not know what I said, but YOU should know not to mess with you."." Mandy muttered.

With that, the two lunged at each other. Wally yelped.

"Cut ta Catherine! Ah don't think ya want ta see this!" Wally frowned.

(Contemporary Earth; Battle Royale Map)

Catherine looked in concern as she and Muggshot from Sly Cooper sat inside of an abandoned house. As the latter sat dazed, the Millennium Star was also with them while looking concerned as well.

"Um, alright. Please survive." Catherine pleaded. "Anyway, we are here with Muggshot! Though, you may want to give him a mistake."

"Nah, it is fine." The bulldog reassured, holding his head with his enormous hand. "It just felt like I was dead."

MUGGSHOT

NODE: SLY COOPER

THIRD PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY HARLEY QUINN

Catherine frowned. "That's because you WERE dead."

Muggshot looked at Catherine, surprised. "Huh?"

"Yeah, this guy has to revive you." The pink-haired woman said, pointing up at the Millennium Star.

Muggshot looked up at said star and his eyes bugged out. "You…"

The Millennium Star chuckled.

"You are that Christmas ornament from that Christmas section!" Muggshot reassured.

The Millennium Star crashed onto the ground while Catherine giggled.

"Yeah, you are pretty much correct." Catherine smirked. Her face then fell. "I am so sorry about what happened to you."

"Ugh… it's fine. I know that success for Sly Cooper is rare outside of the main trio and Carmelita Fox, but I thought for sure that I would be able to do it." Muggshot frowned. "I am one of the few recurring villains after all!"

"If it is any consolation, your elimination is more of poor luck than poor skills." Catherine reassured.

"Ugh, why did that jester have to knock me into the Final Smash of BILLY & MANDY of all people?" Muggshot muttered, holding his head.

"There, there." Catherine offered, patting Muggshot's arm.

"I would also complain about having Xehanort's plan being ruined but considering what happened with Junko, I am glad that it did." The mobster sighed. "We don't want to distract the goody-goodies by fighting them while they should be fighting that Junko broad."

Catherine frowned. "Oh dear…"

Muggshot looked at Catherine. "Confused?"

"I'll… Tell you later." The young woman frowned. "So who are you rooting for?"

"I think I will root for…" Muggshot mused. "Blanka."

Catherine's eyes lit up. "Ooh, good choice!"

"Yeah, the guy crashed into the jungle when he was a little pup and yet instead of dying, he manages to fight all of the way into his adulthood AND reunite with his mother!" Muggshot said, smiling for the first time since he had gotten eliminated. "Even I can help but respect it."

Catherine happily nodded before looking at the camera. "Okay, now we will go back to Drake and…"

BOOM!

"Yahoo!" "Yeah, baby!" "It's dabbing time!"

Catherine, Muggshot and the Millennium Star (who finally got up off of the floor) winced before glaring in the direction of the noises.

"They are remarkably obnoxious." The Millennium Star muttered.

"This is Fortnite. What do you expect?" Catherine said, rolling her eyes.

(Mallet Island; Cathedral)

Drake was sitting right next to a dazed Dante from Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.

"And here we have the interview of Dante!" Drake grinned before gesturing to the side. "Starring Dante from Devil May Cry!"

The camera then zoomed out to see that the original Dante was sitting there with a big grin on his face. The other Dante glared at Drake.

"Very funny." Reboot!Dante spat.

DANTE

NODE: PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS BATTLE ROYALE/DEVIL MAY CRY/DMC

ELEVENTH PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY TERRY BOGARD

"Alright, alright." Drake sighed. "I take it that you are pissed."

"I HAD it! I was in my Devil Trigger mode! I could have had Mr. American Dream!" Reboot!Dante roared.

"If it is any consolation, you put up more of a fight than most people thought." Drake said.

"Yeah, but who the fuck cares about what everyone thought about if it is going to be the sae!" Reboot!Drake snapped.

"He does have a point." Original!Dante piped up.

"How the fuck did only a handful of some Playstation All-Stars managed to get so little eliminations!?" Reboot!Dante roared. "We are Playstation ALL-STARS."

Drake and Original!Dante blinked twice.

"Umm…" Drake started.

"Don't bother…" Original!Dante sighed.

"Also, why am I given so much shit for appearing to advertise my game when Raiden did the same!?" Reboot!Dante snapped.

"To be fair, Raiden was an established character before then." Original!Dante admitted.

"Fuck you, boomer!" Reboot!Dante growled.

"Doesn't that mostly apply if you are not up with the current generation?" Drake asked.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Reboot!Dante snapped.

Drake rolled his eyes. "Alright, alright, who do you wish to root for?"

Reboot!Dante let out a deep sigh. "Captain Jack. But only because I always wanted to see go on his adventures."

"That's…" Drake paused before smiling. "Actually valid."

"Well, now THAT is over with." Original!Dante said, getting up. "Let's go back to my place and see if I have any gum."

Reboot!Dante blinked twice. "Um, why?"

"Admittedly, this is just MY opinion." Original!Dante said before sighing.

He then scowled.

"CIGARETTES ARE GROSS!"

Drake and Reboot!Dante jumped before the original!Dante grabbed the latter by the collar and dragged him off.

"You wanna swear like a sailor? Fine! You wanna drink like a sailor? Fine!" Original!Dante snapped. "But smoking is where I draw the line! I don't even care that ten minutes may not be enough!"

"Oh, fuck off!" Reboot!Dante roared, trying to break free.

Drake blinked twice before looking at the camera with a shrug.

"Umm, your turn, Ash?"

(Squid Game; Red Light, Green Light)

Ashley sat looking unnerved as he sat next to a dazed Fukua from Skullgirls. Now only the Millennium Star was there, but so was was a silver transparent barrier around them to protect them from the infamous giant doll.

"I am SO grateful that Drake decided to ask you to join us!" Ashley said in relief.

"I am glad to help!" The Millennium Star reassured.

Soon, Fukua snapped out of her daze and looked around. Tumble paused before gulping

"Fukua says that she wants to take the Millennium Star and me home with her." Tumble explained.

The Millennium Star shrank back. "P-Please, I had enough of being someone else's ornament for one lifetime!"

FUKUA

NODE: SKULLGIRLS

THIRTEENTH PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY BUGS BUNNY

Ashley chuckled nervously. "So if the Millennium Star is here to revive any fighters who died, Tumble is here to translate for those who can't talk normally."

Tumble nodded his head with a smile. "Always strive to please!"

Then, Fukua then sighed.

"She says she is upset that she got eliminated by that cheating rabbit." Tumble frowned.

Ashley chuckled nervously. "Yeah, Bugs really took advantage of your devotion to Red Light, Green Light, didn't he?"

Fukua grumpily crossed her arms and gritted her teeth.

"She says she is upset that she didn't get a single elimination when her inferior counterpart did." Tumble explained.

"Well, it happens unfortunately." Ashley frowned. "So who do you want to root for?"

Fukua's eyes lit up.

"She says that she wants to root for the other bunny because he is cute AND she could get behind his desire to be seen as the original!" Tumble said.

Ashley chuckled nervously. "That makes sense."

BANG!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Ashley, the Millennium Star and Tumble jumped before they and Fukua looked in the direction of the doll's latest victim.

"...Maybe we shouldn't have this interview when the game is still going on." The Millennium Star said with an unseen frown.

Fukua frowned.

"Um, she says that she wouldn't have lost if the elimination portal didn't drop her in the middle of the game." Tumble said.

Ashley let out a deep sigh. "Just cut to Wally…"

(Planet Kerwan; Park Square)

Wally groaned as he rubbed his arms while Atomic Betty looked at him in concern.

"Sorry about Mandy… She's… Hard to control." Betty apologised.

"It's fine. She wasn't actively trying ta cause trouble fer once." Wally sighed.

"Even still, even though Ren's temper is kinda infamous, in this case, it is justified." Betty frowned.

ATOMIC BETTY

NODE: ATOMIC BETTY

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SECTION TWENTY-TWO

ELIMINATED BY BUBBLES

"Well, what's done is done." Wally muttered. "So ya are taking yer loss pretty well."

"Of course! I have been eliminated by someone who has gotten the MVP for the most eliminations overall!" Betty grinned. "I can't think of a better person to get eliminated too!"

Wally chuckled at this. "So ya don't regret being a Reserve Mystery Fighter!"

"Of course not! While fighters more obscure than I am have been invited as official Mystery Fighters, I never thought that I would be invited as a fighter!" Betty beamed. "I actually thought that some people completely forgot about my existence!"

"Well, it seems that ya still got a fanbase." Wally chuckled. "So who are you going to root for?"

"Well, if you didn't show me what happened after I was eliminated, I would have said Bubbles." Betty explained. "But seeing that she is eliminated, I have to say Supergirl!"

"Oh, because she is the one who eliminated Bubbles?" Wally asked.

"Well, yes, there is that. But just like Bubbles and me, she was…" Betty started.

Her eyes then bugged out when she leapt up into the air and sent out her extendable boxing glove out of her wrist. This collided with the flying body of a robot, causing it to explode into bolts.

Betty landed on the ground and glared at where the robot came from. "Please be more careful!"

"Sorry, dudette!" Skidd McMarx's voice apologised.

"...In his defence, having our interview next to a robot attack probably isn't the smartest idea." Wally frowned.

"True… Let's wrap this up." Betty sighed. "But yes, just like Bubbles and I, Supergirl is a young yet capable and chipper superheroine who is always eager to please. Granted, she is definitely older than us but still."

"No, no, that is a valid point." Wally offered before looking at the camera. "But yeah, Betty has another battle to join and Ah have ta take cover! Over ta ya, Cat!"

(LittleBigPlanet)

We now see Catherine sitting in a large custom-made level. Sitting on her shoulder was Woody from Kingdom Hearts. They were also surrounded by a bunch of animal stickers.

"And I am with our next eliminated fighter, Woody!" Catherine grinned.

"Um, howdy." The cowboy said, tipping his hat. He then turned towards Catherine. "Sooo… How many people are watching this?"

"Don't worry, you have my word that this footage will not reach your sub-node." The half-British, half-Japanese woman reassured.

Woody sighed in relief. "Oh, thank goodness."

WOODY

NODE: KINGDOM HEARTS/TOY STORY

FIRST PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY OSWALD THE LUCKY RABBIT

"It looks like lightning doesn't strike twice with you Toy Story fighters, huh?" Catherine noted.

"Yeah, in hindsight, I am surprised that Buzz was able to make it work the first time. But it was mostly thanks to Xero." Woody admitted. He then paused. "Ah… No hard feelings about you being used."

"What? It is not YOU asked for it. Besides, we got our revenge and then some." Catherine said, waving it off.

"True." Woody chuckled. He then frowned. "But yeah, trying to apply our node rules while ALSO getting to get eliminations at the same time is not fun."

"If it is any consolation, even Xero realised this and decided to have you scaled up just like in the Disneyland Games and the incoming Dreamlight Valley."

Woody's eyes lit up at this. "Really? That's great! Maybe then we would actually do a lot better."

"Here's hoping." Catherine said. "But until then, who are you rooting for?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Woody asked. "I wouldn't be a Disney character if I didn't root for one of THE first Disney characters, Oswald!"

"Kinda ironic seeing that he was the one who eliminated you." Catherine smirked.

"Hey, it is not like I ASKED to be literally thrown into him by that palette swap!" Woody countered.

"True." Catherine chuckled before looking at the camera. "Anyway, I have to go now. There are still more animal stickers that I wish to collect! It is your turn, Drake!"

(Ocean Bluff; Outskirts)

Drake and Tumble blinked twice as they looked down at the downed Jungle Fury Wolf Ranger. Next to them, Yamato Man from Megaman proudly planted his spear in the ground.

"...I didn't know Power Rangers had a PURPLE ranger." Drake piped up.

Yamato Man then spoke in his native tongue. Tumble nodded before looking at Drake.

"He says that while purple Power Rangers ARE rare AND they didn't appear until the SIXTEENTH season, they DO exist." Tumble explained.

"Heh. Learn something new everyday." Drake noted. He then looked at the camera. "But yeah, in case, you haven't figured it out, we are with Yamato Man."

The Robot Master bowed his head.

YAMATO MAN

NODE: MEGAMAN

SEVENTH PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY GARNET

"So sorry about what happened in the ring." Drake frowned.

Yamato Man sighed before speaking.

"He says that while he is ashamed by how he did, he also admitted that it was his own fault for underestimating that Gem." Tumble translated.

"Eh. As long as you admit your faults." Drake reassured. "Though I was referring more to how well your node did."

Yamato Man let out a sigh before speaking.

"He says that he doesn't know why Gutsman was the only Megaman representative that has gotten more than one elimination." Tumble shrugged. "If it was just the Robot Masters, he would understand, but not even Megaman and Roll managed to get an elimination."

"In Roll's defence, she just has bad luck to appear in a Big Guy Blocker round." Drake frowned. "But yeah, I still totally get what you mean."

Yamato Man looked worried.

"He says that he is concerned that this poor record will affect whether or not the Megaman node will come back in the next Tournament of Kikai." Tumble frowned.

"Well, it is a little early to say." Drake frowned, putting his hand on Yamato Man's shoulder. "So who are you rooting for?"

Yamato Man spoke his answer, making Tumble jump.

Drake noticed this. "W-W-What? What did he say?"

"He says Ichigo." Tumble answered.

Drake's eyes widened. "Wait, really?"

Yamato Man explained.

"He says that he wishes to root for patriotic pride. Nothing more, nothing less." Tumble answered.

"Ah, that makes sense." Drake admitted.

"Isn't Mewtwo technically Japanese because he is from Kanto though?" Tumble piped up.

Drake and Yamato Man paused at this.

"Let's not get into it." Drake said, waving it off. "Okay, Ash! Your turn again!"

(Alaska; Snow Lodge)

Ashley was using his rod to create fire to warm himself up. Close by himself were Sam & Max and Psymon Stark.

"Ooh, how many people did you set on fire?" Max asked.

"...I refuse to answer that question." Ashley muttered before sighing. "So yes, I am interviewing Sam & Max next."

"Nice to meet ya." Sam said, tipping his hat.

SAM & MAX

NODE: SAM & MAX

ELIMINATED SWEET JULIET FROM TOKYO MEW MEW

ELIMINATED BY BANJO & KAZOOIE

"You are still as chipper as ever." Ashley noted. "You missed out on the Final Twelve."

"Ehh. You should know us by now. We don't usually sweat the small stuff." Sam said, waving it off.

"Yeah, and if we do, we just blow it up." Max said before laughing.

Ashley chuckled nervously. "Well, let's hope that it doesn't come to that. But yes, glad you are a Reserve Mystery Fighter?"

"Um, duh? I can't believe it took us this long to show up as a Mystery Fighter." Max laughed.

"To be fair, part of that is because you are always on the security team at the Megamix Tournaments." Sam laughed.

"Oh yeah, we had a lot of fun together!" Psymon grinned. It then faltered before glaring at the tattoos on his arms. "Okay, so we caused more harm than good! But at least WE had fun! Lighten up!"

"Psymon, you have the most uncooperative tattoos I ever met." Sam said, matter-of-factly.

"I know, right?" The snowboarder asked, rolling his eyes.

Ashley let out a deep sigh. "Just one more question. Just one more question. So who are you rooting for?"

"Isn't it obvious? It is the bear and bird. Despite how dysfunctional they act, they still managed to function as a team!" Sam chuckled.

"Meh. I would say Harley Quinn." Max mused. "Not being restricted in how you act like fighting on either good OR evil? I live for that!"

Ashley chuckled nervously. "Such Sam & Max answers."

"As long as we are here, is that J.P. guy close by?" Max asked.

Psymon raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, he is trying to woo some girl. Again."

"Hey, let's set him on fire!" Max grinned.

Sam & Psymon chuckled before speaking in unison.

"You crack me up, little buddy."

Ashley just groaned. "Back to you, Wally. Looks like someone has to be the sane one around here."

(Pine Grove Forest; Washington)

We now see Wally sitting on a stump with Peacock from Skullgirls and Woody Woodpecker.

"And we have the final Skullgirls character, Peacock!" Wally grinned.

The redhead took off her hat (and Avery popped out of the hat to do the same). "Charmed!"

PEACOCK

NODE: SKULLGIRLS

ELIMINATED MICKEY MOUSE FROM KINGDOM HEARTS AND DOUBLE FROM SKULLGIRLS

ELIMINATED BY MILES TAILS PROWER

"Ya are taking yer loss pretty well. Especially with ya here, that means Skullgirls is officially out of the running." Wally noted.

"Are you kidding? I had a blast!" Peacock grinned. "And sure it would be nice to be in the Final Twelve, but I am not bummed because until other nodes, we managed to do well for ourselves."

"That is true. Parasoul even managed ta become the Superstar." Wally chuckled.

Peacock (and Woody) blinked twice in confusion. "Umm, Superstar?"

"Never mind, never mind. Point is that ya all did good fer yourselves!" Wally offered.

"Thanks! I just think! We actually have three more of us!" Peacock grinned. "Including Annie of the Stars!"

"Ooh, Ah would love ta see them!" Wally grinned. "Sooo… Who are ya rooting fer?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Peacock laughed. "Team Bugs, all of the way!"

"Aye, that WAS a stupid question, wasn't it?" Wally chuckled.

Then, the three heard muffled annoyed noises. They all turned to see Wally Walrus tied up and gagged while trying to break free.

"...Oh, right. I forgot about you." Peacock muttered.

"Sorry, Wally Walrus, but we can't confuse the viewers with you AND the kangaroo here in the same shot!" Woody apologised.

"And honestly, if what Ah heard from Woody is correct, ya DO deserve this so eh." Wally said, shrugging his shoulders."

Wally Walrus growled behind his mask.

(Fire Temple; Volvagia's Stomach)

We now see Catherine… Sitting on some kind of red, fleshy platform while surrounded by acid. Ripto from Spyro the Dragon, shuddered while holding his arms.

"Well, the good news is that not only am I interviewing Ripto, but we are inside of Volvagia!" Catherine grinned. It then faltered. "The BAD news is that we are literally inside of him so we can't show their beautiful form."

Ripto gave Catherine a weird look. "Child, you have issues!"

"Hey, at least you didn't need to be revived, did you?" The pink-haired woman reassured.

"...I'd rather be dead." Ripto muttered.

RIPTO

NODE: SPYRO THE DRAGON

SECOND PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY SUPERGIRL

"Aw, come on." Catherine frowned. "But yeah, sorry about your elimination. I know that you were the final hope of Spyro the Dragon getting one more elimination."

"Tch. I still can't believe that other people OTHER than that pesky dragon could also use the orbs against me." Ripto grumbled, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, I was surprised too." Catherine noted. "I thought Spyro could use them because… Well, he is from your node."

"Well, I will not make THAT mistake again." Ripto muttered. "If we get invited to the next UVR tournament."

"I think your node did decently enough." Catherine reassured. "And at least you fought as yourself."

"Ugh, don't remind me." Ripto muttered, slapping his forehead. "To think that the one elimination I got was because I was forced to be a goody-goody by a self-righteous sword."

"Yeah, Soul Calibur, the sword, not the game, is SO overrated." Catherine muttered, rolling her eyes. "So who are you rooting for?"

Ripto frowned before looking away while crossing his arms.

"...Ka." Ripto muttered.

Catherine blinked twice. "Who?"

"Blanka…" Ripto confessed.

"That's… A random pick for you." Catherine muttered.

"His personality… Reminds me of Crush and Gulp in a way." Ripto finally said.

Catherine's eyes bugged out before she started to squeal. Ripto winced before looking at Catherine while holding up his hands in a "Stop" fashion.

"H-Hey, don't spread it around!" Ripto scolded with a deep blush.

"Aww, but I think you will be more endearing if you do." Catherine pouted.

"Well, I do not WANT to be seen as endearing. I wanted to be FEARED!" Ripto argued. "M-M-More to the point, shouldn't you move to the next host!"

Catherine puffed her cheeks in. "Alright… it is your turn, Drake."

(Runeterra; Fields of Justice)

Drake grinned as he sat on the steps on the fountain as Bishamon from Darkstalker sat down in a lotus pose.

"And here we are with the next eliminated fighter. Bishamon." Drake introduced.

The samurai smiled and bowed his head. "Charmed."

BISHAMON

NODE: DARKSTALKERS

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SINCE SECTION TWENTY-TWO

ELIMINATED SAMURAI JACK FROM CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH-TIME EXPLOSION

ELIMINATED BY MEWTWO

"You are certainly cool about losing your chance to win." Drake noted, raising an eyebrow.

"Hey, I have lost against a strong opponent AND someone who is just as determined to go from runner-up to winner as me." Bishamon shrugged. "I cannot be mad. And honestly, as long as I still got it."

"That is a good mindset." Drake nodded with a smile.

"Make no mistake though, as much as I do not mind losing to Guy just like I did to Haohmaru, that doesn't mean I do not wish to go more than that." Bishamon explained. "I want to be able to prove that I am more than just a second-fiddle."

"So in other words, you are rooting for Mewtwo?" Drake smirked.

"Of course. He made it to the Final 2 and only lost because he was fighting against someone with the most elimination overall." Bishamon reassured.

"Well, that is a nice thought to have." Drake offered.

"Indeed. Now I am willing to answer any more questions, but if you don't have any… Do you mind?" Bishamon offered.

Drake merely chuckled. "Go nuts!"

Bishamon nodded his head.

With that, he got out and unsheathed his katana. He then walked over to Master Yi.

"I WILL find out what you are supposed to be!" Bishamon boasted. "It is on the tip of my tongue."

Master Yi just scoffed. "We shall see."

With that, the two men got into a stance. Drake watched with eyes lighting up.

"...I love this job."

(Hell)

Ashley gulped nervously as he sat down to Isabelle from Super Smash Bros. However, he was also standing next to the Doom Slayer.

"Um, hello. This time, I am with Isabelle." Ashley introduced.

The Shih-Tzu bowed her head. "Hello! Thank you for supporting me ever since I entered the arena!"

ISABELLE

NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/ANIMAL CROSSING

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SINCE SECTION NINETEEN

ELIMINATED WALUIGI FROM SUPER MARIO BROS, BENIMARU FROM KING OF FIGHTERS XIV, CAPTAIN K'NUCKLES FROM CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH-TIME EXPLOSION AND BENTLEY FROM SPYRO THE DRAGON

ELIMINATED BY CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

"Ever the optimist, aren't you?" Ashley chuckled.

"Of course. Sure, I missed out on the Final Twelve, but I have gotten four eliminations!" Isabelle smiled. "I have no regrets!"

Doom Slayer chuckled through his helmet. "That's my Isabelle!"

"Though I have to say though, I am still sad that I left Penny with Captain Jack, especially since he was immune to my 'Puss-In-Boots' technique." The secretary said, sadly.

Doom Slayer paused. "...If he is immune to your cute looks, then that pirate guy must be a demon. Maybe I should go over to his node later and…"

Immediately, Ashley and Isabelle held out their hands.

"No, no!" Ashley pleaded.

"It's fine! What he did was legitimate in the standards of the tournament!" Isabelle insisted.

Doom Slayer paused before scoffing. "...Fine."

Ashley and Isabelle sighed in relief.

"...So. Who are you rooting for?" Ashley asked.

"Well, I WANT to go with nodal pride and vote for Banjo-Kazooie." Isabelle admitted. "But I have spent way too long with Penny not to vote for her."

"Aw, that's cute." Ashley smiled. His eyes then widened in realisation. "Wait…"

"Hm? What is it?" Isabelle asked.

"Is it true that there is a strong chance that a different Isabelle may enter the third Battle of the Luminaries?" Ashley asked.

"Unfortunately, yes." Isabelle sighed.

Ashley's eyes lit up. "In that case, do you think you could help us locate a certain Villager & Isabelle."

"Um, that is more Wilbur & Orville's job, but I am sure that I could help." Isabelle said, scratching the back of her head.

"Okay, the island name that Drake wants to invite is called Hono-Hono and apparently the town theme is the main theme from Crash Team Racing." Ashley said.

Isabelle nodded her head. "That name and theme is distinct enough to help narrow it down."

"Good. Drake wants to invite THOSE two to the tournament." Ashley nodded.

Isabelle paused. "Um, sure, if I ask, can the Villager be put in the purple shirt skin from Smash?"

Ashley blinked twice. "Um, why?"

"Because… The Villager of Hono-Hono is black and…" Isabelle started with a wince.

Ashley returned the wince. "Ohhhh…"

"Yeah, not even I am brave enough to go with the default skin." Doom Slayer muttered.

"So yeah, purple-shirt skin should be fine." Ashley nodded.

"Alright, I promise that I will get in on it!" Isabelle beamed. "I just need a day off to recover."

"That is more than alright." Ashley reassured. He then looked up at the camera. "Sorry for the hold-up, Wally."

(France; Storage Room)

Wally was standing in a dimly-lit storage room. Next to him was a disheartened Kayin from Battle Arena Toshinden.

"Shh. We can't talk too much because apparently Inspector Clouseau is trying ta arrest the next eliminated fighter." Wally warned. "Kayin Amoh."

The Scottish man merely sighed. "Yo…"

KAYIN AMOH

NODE: BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN

TENTH PERSON TO ENTER SECTION THIRTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY BLANKA

Wally looked in sympathy. "Ya are really bummed about not making the final Twelve, huh?"

"It is not that. Sure, if I did, I would be ecstatic, but I know if that happened, I would be lucky." Kayin frowned. "But ugh, I don't know why, but I felt like I was THIS close to getting an elimination! THIS close."

Wally's ears drooped, knowing that Kayin was right.

"Like, if I appeared a little earlier, I wouldn't be SO pissed about getting eliminated without a single one to my name." The swordsman frowned. "But I was the final Battle Arena Toshinden representative. Even if it is just one more, I was their last hope of getting an elimination to my node's name."

"Oi, mate, Ah know that this may not help much, but when ya think about it, it could be much worse." Wally said, putting a hand on Kayin's shoulder. "Yer node could be like Kizuna Encounter in the first Megamix Tournament or maybe Under Night In-Birth in the Okron Tournament."

Kayin looked up at Wally with a raised eyebrow. "MAYBE Under Night In-Birth."

"The airing of the Okron Tournament has gotten back on track, but… Aye…" The kangaroo winced.

Kayin blinked twice before sighing. "Yeah, I guess you are right. Four eliminations isn't THAT bad for the most obscure node in the tournament."

"Also, Ah know that this is not much of a compliment, but…" Wally said.

"Hm?" Kayin asked.

"Out of everyone in the final thirty, it is YA who has the best taste in music." Wally offered.

Kayin blinked twice. He then started to laugh.

"Yeah, my stage theme IS a bop, isn't it?" Kayin said.

Wally happily nodded. "It is!"

"Well, I don't know if Xero is going to invite us back at the next tournament, but I could speak on behalf of my node that if he does, we will do everything in our power to NOT make him regret it!" Kayin offered.

"Well, Ah am sure that he will appreciate the enthusiasm regardless." Wally offered. "So who are ya rooting fer?"

"How can I call myself a fighting game character if I DON'T root for Terry Bogard to win?" Kayin chuckled, feeling much better.

"Aye, that is right. Now…" Wally started.

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, startling Wally and Kayin. It was Inspector Clouseau.

"Ah ha! I KNEW that you were a crook!" Clouseau boasted, pointing his finger forward. "You are smuggling a kangaroo for illegal kangaroo-fighting!"

Wally jumped at this. "Illegal kangaroo-fighting!? Are ya serious!?"

Clouseau jumped at this. "Illegal mutated kangaroo-fighting!"

This struck a nerve with Wally. "MUTATED!?"

"See!? This is what my ten minutes have been since I came here!" Kayin groaned.

"You are both under arrest!" Clouseau shouted.

Wally groaned before looking at the camera. "Let's hope ya have more luck than me with YER final interview, Cat."

(Hillwood; Arnold's Room)

We now see Catherine sitting on Arnold's bed along with Bubbles from Cartoon Network: Punch-Time Explosion and Arnold. However, Bubbles' arm was in a sling.

"Considering we are here with the MVP of the Tournament of Kikai herself, I think I would be fine." Catherine giggled.

Bubbles giggled at this. "Aww, that's so nice of you!"

BUBBLES

NODE: CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH-TIME EXPLOSION/THE POWERPUFF GIRLS

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SINCE SECTION FIFTEEN

ELIMINATED LINK AND MARIO FROM SUPER SMASH BROS, ED AND KOLIN FROM STREET FIGHTER V, BATMAN AND THE MARTIAN MANHUNTER FROM DC COMICS, GULP AND GNASTY GNORC FROM SPYRO THE DRAGON, FATHER FROM CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH-TIME EXPLOSION, SHO FROM BATTLE ARENA TOSHINDEN, ISA FROM KINGDOM HEARTS AND ATOMIC BETTY FROM ATOMIC BETTY

ELIMINATED BY SUPERGIRL

"Huh. You sure don't mind missing out of the Final Twelve." Catherine noted.

"Why should I be? I am just happy that I even got close to making it to the Final Twelve." Bubbles noted.

"Oh yeah. About that. Could you tell me what your secret is?" Catherine asked.

"You mean for lasting so long? I can't really say. I thought it was because I was a Powerpuff Girl, but obviously that doesn't fly because of how my sisters were taken out." Bubbles frowned.

"True." Catherine frowned. "I thought for sure that Blossom and Buttercup will last longer."

"So did I." Bubbles sighed. "Also, for some reason, our node wasn't hitting as hard as we should. Like we didn't do horrible or even that bad. But still. So I decided to avenge my sisters and to a lesser extent my node. And things just happened.

"And happened things did. You lasted so long that you got enough fatigue for Supergirl to break your arm." Catherine noted. "Something that would be impossible if you were fresh."

"Yeah, I didn't even know it WAS possible to break my arm." Bubbles admitted.

"Well, even though your node didn't win, you showed why you should never underestimate Cartoon Network!" Catherine giggled. "So who are you rooting for?"

"Penny, of course. We have been close allies ever since we, along with Isabelle and Ellis formed that alliance." Bubbles offered.

"Aww, that's nice!" Catherine smiled.

"Indeed. I knew that Haohmaru and Pikachu had demonstrated that you could last that long, but still, that's impressive." Arnold noted.

"Oh, right, before we go on, I HAVE to ask you, Arnold?" Catherine asked.

"Hmm?" The football-shaped boy asked.

"How are you and your friends holding up?" Catherine asked.

"Oh, um… They are doing well." Arnold said, scratching the back of his head. "Though we are still reeling from that meteor shower a while back."

"I am SO sorry!" Catherine frowned. "Xero and Maurice only meant to send in non-fighters."

"I know. What I am more concerned about is his blatant bias with Captain Olimar and Nack the Weasel." Arnold frowned.

"Ugh, don't remind me. Not even I will defend him on that." Catherine groaned, rolling her eyes.

"But yeah, I am personally okay, but it is clear that everyone wants to send him a long bill." Arnold admitted, scratching the back of his head.

"...Do you think they would mind getting in line?" Catherine muttered.

Arnold blinked twice before turning to Bubbles who only solemnly nodded at him. Arnold then looked at the camera.

"...Oh dear."

"Oh dear is right." Catherine muttered. She then looked at the camera. "Over to you, Drake."

(Dark Temple)

Drake sat on the steps of a temple. With him was Garnet from Steven Universe and Tak. In the background were Traloc and several Jujus on the ground, dazed and groaning.

Drake gave a descending whistle. "You really did a number on THEM."

"A part of me admits that I may have gone too far, but it is not like they were asking for it." Garnet said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Lady, you have NO idea!" Tak groaned, rolling his eyes.

GARNET

NODE: STEVEN UNIVERSE

HAS BEEN IN ARENA SINCE SECTION TWENTY-ONE

ELIMINATED JEAN BISON FROM SLY COOPER, BIG DADDY FROM PLAYSTATION ALL-STARS BATTLE ROYALE, NECALLI FROM STREET FIGHTER V AND YAMATO MAN FROM MEGAMAN

ELIMINATED BY MEWTWO

Drake chuckled. "Leave it to you to be so chill after missing a chance in the Final Twelve."

Garnet merely shrugged. "Hey, if that is what the voters want, then I am not destined for the Final Twelve."

Tak blinked twice. "Um, voters?"

"Don't ask." Drake and Garnet said in unison.

"But yeah, I thought for sure that you were a shoe-in for the finals." Drake admitted.

"To be fair, I COULD have made it if it wasn't for my fatigue." Garnet explained. "No matter. I am proud of my streak and I am proud to be invited as a Reserve Mystery Fighter."

Drake then smirked. "Though there may be a chance that you may not be invited as a Reserve Mystery Fighter or even an official one next time."

"Indeed. I do not even need my Future Vision to see that." Garnet nodded.

"So who are you rooting for?" Drake asked.

"Normally, I would root for Penny, my ally, however, I decided to root for Mewtwo." Garnet admitted.

"Oh? Because you two are fellow cool-headed psychics?" Drake asked.

"Yes, I suppose we do share a connection like that." Garnet admitted. "However, this is my odd way of atoning."

Drake's smile vanished as he and Tak blinked twice.

"Huh? Atoning?" Tak asked.

"Basically, I had a vision that I would fight Mewtwo. For some reason, we were immediately hostile towards each other." Garnet explained. "He sent one of his Shadow Balls to try to scare me away and I mistook him for an enemy and jumped to conclusions."

Drake jumped at this. "YOU, Garnet!?"

"Indeed. Granted, it is because we were acting like that, but that is neither here nor there." The dark purple Gem admitted.

Drake and Tak both blinked twice at this.

"...Lady, you are not making any sense." Tak said, finally.

"Indeed. Perhaps we should drop the conversation and allow Ashley to interview the final eliminated fighter for now." Garnet concluded.

"Um, sure." Drake paused before gulping. "Ashley, end us off!"

(Oedeville; Farm)

We now see Ashley sitting on the grassy ground of the farm with Monkey from Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion and Tumble also sitting down as well.

"And here we have it!" Ashley grinned. "The final eliminated fighter, Monkey!"

The superhero then spoke in his native tongue.

"He says that he is happy to get this chance!" Tumble smiled.

MONKEY

NODE: CARTOON NETWORK: PUNCH-TIME EXPLOSION/DEXTER'S LABORATORY/DIAL M FOR MONKEY

FOURTH PERSON TO ENTER SECTION TWENTY-THREE

ELIMINATED BY MILES TAILS PROWER

"You are certainly not minding missing out on the Final Twelve." Ashley noted.

Monkey waved it off while speaking.

"He says that he acknowledges that not even he would have an easy ride, making it into the Final Twelve." Tumble translated. "So he is just glad that he managed to get an elimination period."

"Well, that's a good mindset." Ashley smiled.

Monkey then continued to talk.

"He also says that as long as he and Bubbles manage to end Cartoon Network: Punch-Time Explosion on a high note, he will be happy." Tumble nodded.

"Indeed. Your node may have started off slow, but slowly kicked up momentum in the middle and end." Ashley noted.

Monkey then spoke, looking serious.

"He says however, if his node will be invited, they will compete with Disney AND Nickelodeon at the next tournament." Tumble noted.

"Indeed. Drake is even inviting Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl so they more or less will be getting experience between the second Tournament of Kikai." Ashley nodded

Monkey nodded his head before looking determined.

"If that is the case, then we will hope that the people from the updated cast will be invited and we could do just as well, if not better!" Tumble said.

"Oh, okay. So who are you rooting for?" Ashley asked.

Monkey smiled and nodded.

"Tails, of course. We worked well together and if it wasn't the final section, we would actually be allies." Tumble smiled.

"Well, that's sweet!" Ashley smiled. "Well, that is everyone! Now if you excuse me, I am going back."

He then growled.

"...Because I am sick and tired of pretending that my intelligence is on the same level on this show." He muttered.

Cue the camera turned to see Otis doing a belly dance behind Ashley with the other farm animals muffling their laughs. Monkey and Tumble giggled as well.

(V.I.P. Room)

Drake, Wally and Catherine laughed at this.

"Sorry, Ash!" Drake chuckled.

"Well, that's all of the eliminated fighters!" Wally grinned. "Next up, we will cover the Final Twelve!"

"It is only twelve fighters, of course, but there is definitely quality over quantity." Catherine nodded.

Suddenly, Drake's smirk vanished as he looked down.

"But hold on, guys! We forget to change!"

With that, he, Wally and Catherine took off their cloaks and…

The camera feed went off.
