LINK TO VOTEFORM BELOW:
We now went back to Drake, Ashley, Wally and Catherine in the V.I.P. Team. However, they were now wearing shirts over their clothes.
"And we are back!" Drake grinned. "We already covered the results of the first part of this section. Buttttt…"
"Seeing that this is the Final Section, we decided to go over the Final Twelve!" Ashley smiled.
"It is admittedly a more detailed of the recap of surviving fighters in previous section starts, but still we will try ta make it hype!" Wally nodded.
"However, you may have noticed that we are wearing shirts!" Catherine beamed. "Well, Xero asked us to go see a guy named "J.T." and try out the shirts he will make! And can I just say, he is absolutely ADORABLE!"
"Yes, he is pretty charming, isn't he?" Ashley chuckled.
"Basically, Xero also wants to know who WE are rooting for!" Drake noted. "So we decided to pick out and… Well, I think we will decide to do something a little different for one third of this segment."
"We will try to split up talking a bit each on each segment." Wally muttered.
"Butttttt whoever is rooting for a particular fighter gets to have their segment all for themselves." Catherine smirked before holding her chest. "And I am the opening act because…"
BUGS BUNNY
NODE: LOONEY TUNES
For a moment, nobody was coming out of the room… but then, something started to come out… making a strange indent as if something was burrowing underground, despite the fact that this arena was seemingly floating in the air. It eventually made its way into the arena as some dirt started to pop out from above, causing a couple people to trip over it as the creature continued to burrow underground… before the figure popped out and looked around. The figure quickly pulled out a carrot and started to chew on it.
"Eh… what's up, doc?" The grey rabbit asked, looking around the cheering crowd the minute they saw this iconic character.
"While not as long as Bubbles of course, is it any surprise that my pick to win, "Bugs Bunny" managed to make it into the final Twelve despite his fatigue piling up on him from all of the way since Section NINETEEN?" Catherine smirked.
(Section Nineteen)
"Ready, Maestro?"
"Let's play!"
A conductor's stick was heard tapping, both stopping Big Band and Roll in their tracks as they turned to see Bugs now wearing a conductor's outfit (like Leopold Stokowski) and Mickey wearing his Sorcerer's Apprentice uniform, complete with Yen Sid's hat. Mickey waved his arms as a flying meteor came out from out of nowhere as Bugs used his hands to direct the meteor, crashing it between the large cybernetic man and the small robot girl.
It was then they were made aware of the music suddenly playing, and not coming from the Announcer's Booth or the Sound Booth either. No, it was coming from the magic of Mickey and Bugs's Limit Break as both Big Band and Roll looked at each other, both faces having a look that said, "Oh, crap!".
In this case, the music being played was the 1812 Overture as Mickey and Bugs were summoning and directing meteors and flying cosmos towards the two as each of them tried to dodge each meteor, but with each dodge, came a large hit and tremor from the ground, causing both cyborg and robot girl to trip over.
All of a sudden, the music suddenly swapped over to Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor"'s music, more specifically the final part of the music as strange, abstract lines suddenly appeared and took Big Band and Roll for a ride. At that moment, Bugs and Mickey jumped up, all while still in their outfits as they used their hands to direct the abstract line in different directions.
Another music change, this time in "Tales from the Vienna Woods", as the abstract lines swung them around, and suddenly changed Big Band and Roll in hunter uniforms, each of them holding rifles, much to their confusion. Big Band threw the rifle aside as he noticed Bugs was nearby, before trying to grab him with his tambourine clenchers, only for Bugs to jump up and grab the clenchers and tie them up around Big Band, much to the robot's struggle. Bugs then quickly danced with Big Band for a few seconds, before casually using his feet to kick the man out of the ring and into the portal below.
Donald lit the fuse, shook the match to put out the fire, and ran a few meters away as he stood near the edge of the ring and covered his ears.
KA-BOOM!
KA-BOOM!
KA-BOOM!
KA-BOOM!
A series of explosions came from the hole as it started to turn into a smoldering crater.
Donald could only stand and laugh as he pointed to the now ruined hole… only to feel the ground shake.
"Uh-oh…" Donald slowly said as he looked down to see that that many explosions had somehow reached him and cracked the ground. And he just so happened to be near the edge of the ring.
That fell into the portal below… followed shortly by Donald as he gave a loud squawk.
Donald landed in Darkwing Duck, where he somehow got into a big mess with Megavolt and Quackerjack. The dazed Darkwing (who had been hit with the edge of the ring) never knew what hit him.
Back in the arena, Bugs gave a nod towards everyone else. "You see, folks, that's what happens when fatigue gets to your mind. It plays tricks on ya."
(Section Twenty)
Bugs and Happy Child then narrowed their eyes at each other, as they pulled out what seemed to be a smoke bomb. They raised their hands and slammed both bombs down on the ground, engulfing the two in smoke. All of a sudden, Happy Child jumped out of the smoke giving a smirk… only to blink twice in confusion. He looked over towards the smoke cloud as it started to clear out, showing Bugs about to go into a jump, only to stop short.
Before Happy Child could try to teleport back into the arena, he was already falling down into the ring and into the portal below as Bugs waved good-bye to him.
"All right…" Bugs paused, before trying to lift the large panda. "Ergh… tossing you out… ugh… it i- boy, you know, I don't mean to be rude, but you're a lot heavier than you look."
All of a sudden, Bugs dug around in his fur pockets and pulled out a large catapult. "Uh, step on dis, would you?"
The Panda King complied as he sat on the catapult. Bugs then pulled out a knife and gave a nod. "Bon voy-a-gee!"
The Panda King nodded before Bugs sliced the rope, causing the catapult to send the Panda King flying out of the ring and landing in the portal below.
(Section Twenty-One)
Birdie groaned as he let go of the now-used rocket and started to stumble around, giving a groan. All of a sudden, Bugs ran in, dressed as a police officer as he looked at Birdie straight in the eye.
"You know how fast you were going, citizen?" Bugs frowned, using his authoritative voice.
Birdie, still a bit dazed, started to blubber as he tried to stay focus, but the hit on the head was really costing him…
Bugs then pulled out a piece of chalk and drew a straight line that went directly towards the ring's edge. "I want you to walk this straight line!"
Birdie could only give a slight daze of a nod before following the straight line, the conscious effort of the man slowly returning. By the time he did so, he had already climbed over the rings subconsciously trying to follow the line… before stopping short, realizing what had happened.
He gave a small glare towards the smirking bunny. "I hate you."
Birdie then fell directly down to the portal below as Bugs gave a small laugh to himself.
(Section Twenty-Two)
The rabbit could only roll his eyes before hopping to the side and raised his foot up, circling it around before kicking Arya upwards in the air. Bugs could only watch before pulling out an ACME rocket and settling it on the level as Arya landed on it, looking a little dazed.
"Eh… sorry to cut our fight short, but I'm sure we can play more when Multiversus comes out. And hey, I'm sure it's more than enough for the writer to include it in his sequel." Bugs smirked as he gave a wink towards the camera. "But until then… so long, sweetie! See you in Mississippi!"
Before Arya could react, the rocket quickly activated as it launched, straight out of the ring and down into the portal below.
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
Bugs then came to one of his holes as he dove straight into one of them… before peeking out to see Fukua still heading straight for him. Getting an idea, Bugs jumped out of the hole and covered his eyes. "One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten, RED LIGHT!"
Bugs uncovered his eyes as Fukua quickly stopped short. Bugs gave a smile as he covered his eyes. "One-two-three-four-five-six-seven, RED LIGHT!"
Fukua was charging straight for Bugs before stopping short. Bugs smirked before covering his eyes again. "One-two-three, RED LIGHT!"
Fukua immediately stopped in her tracks as she froze in position. Bugs paused as he walked over to Fukua in interest, keeping an eye on her at all times… and despite all that, she had not moved even once.
"Hmmmm…" Bugs paused, before looking over to the audience, his eyebrows wiggling a bit. Casually, he picked up the frozen in position Fukua and casually tossed her out of the ring with no trouble at all. "Well, that's that."
"At a decent streak of six eliminations, Bugs managed to tear through the competition, all without breaking a sweat!" Catherine grinned. "He should have a decent shot for the Final Two. However, that is what we all thought about Bubbles. I hope for his sake that he realises that could happen to even him."
Bugs looked at the camera with a smirk. "Ain't I a stinker?"
PENNY PROUD
NODE: THE PROUD FAMILY
Coming out nervously to the Proud Family theme song was the young girl in light pink as Penny Proud gave a nervous smile and waved to the cheering crowd.
"Judging by her nervous disposition when she entered the arena, I don't think even Penny Proud has predicted that she will make it this far." Drake mused.
"But with her limited, but not ineffective skills from the cartoon AND game, encouragement of her alliance and a little bit of luck, Penny surprised everyone and made it to the Final Twelve all of the way from Section TWENTY!" Ashley smiled.
(Section Twenty)
Penny blinked, before giving a grin as Isabelle looked up at the sky, the moon shining at the right angle. "Just step over on that spot and we'll be good."
Penny nodded as she grabbed a bag of snacks. "Probably the only Proud Snack my daddy made that I actually like…"
With that, she pulled out one of the snacks and ate one before going straight into the ray of moonlight.
At that time, Kat had recovered just in time to see Penny going through a transformation. Her eyes widened as her outfit and body type completely changed into a muscular woman wearing an all pink superhero uniform, a pink cape and a pink mask.
Kat paused before looking over the girl. "I have to admit, I love that new look. Though that doesn't change my mind about trying to eliminate you and your alliance idea."
The now super-powered Penny gave a smirk as she started to fly in the air. "Believe me, you're about to see what I can do!"
Kat smirked as Dusty once again turned into aura, following his owner as Kat flew up in the air. Penny could only smirk as she flew up in the air as well, readying a punch as she clobbered her in the face.
Kat wavered in the air a bit, before recovering as she tried to adjust her aim towards Penny, only for Penny to fly over and grab her by the leg. Kat yelped as her eyes shrank. "Wait, what are y-"
"Just taking you for a spin, is all." Penny said before spinning around, going around and around as Kat was starting to get dizzy. As soon as Penny was sure the girl was feeling sick, she let go of her and threw her out of the ring and into the portal below. "Heh, guess she couldn't handle the 'air' food."
(Section Twenty-One)
"Let's do this!" Isabelle smiled as she and Penny went side by side.
"Dance off!" Penny smirked as she and Isabelle suddenly began to dance to a more hip-hop style of music.
This threw off Urien as he stared at this display in confusion. "Uh, wait… what is happening right now?"
"It's a Limit Break dance off, fool!" Penny Proud said as she swayed back and forth and started to move her arms, with Isabelle motioning the moves. "If you think you can beat us… then try to keep up!"
Urien blinked twice, before giving a confident laugh. "Last minute dance breaks won't save you. This ain't Guardians of the Galaxy."
Urien laughed as he sent another dark electro ball straight at the two dancing girls, only for Isabelle and Penny to pull out pom poms out of nowhere and swung around like cheer leaders, deflecting the ball back towards Urien as he took the full blunt of the blast, getting electrocuted.
The man was taken by surprise, but gave a growl as he got up and started to charge directly at the girls, only for Isabelle and Penny to twirl around and swivel on the floor like hip hop stars, causing Urien to accidentally trip over Penny as he landed flat on his face.
This gave Penny and Isabelle the perfect opportunity to circle around him, hip hop dancing all the way through before Isabelle and Penny took each other's hands, and did a flashy number as sparks shot up from the floor, one of them sending the surprised Urien up in the air.
As soon as the dance ended, Penny took the opportunity to jump and kick Urien in the back, sending him flying out of the ring and into the portal below.
(Section Twenty-Two)
Nathan gave a sigh as he turned towards where he thought Penny was. "All right, I may have lost my guns and my sight, but I'm more than willing to take you on!"
Penny blinked twice as she was seen standing behind him. "Uh, I'm over here. You're talking to the ropes."
Nathan paused, before giving a smirk. "Think you can trick me, huh?"
"No, I'm not trying to trick you! Man, you're blind right now. You're not deaf!" Penny said as she tried to explain.
"I appreciate you trying to confuse me, but that won't work! You've been quite a formidable opponent in hand-to-hand combat, so… challenge accepted!" Nathan called out as he charged towards the ropes.
"You can't be serious right now!" Penny said, not even she was believing this bit of stupidity from Nathan Drake.
Unfortunately for the treasure hunter, Nathan Drake slammed himself near the ropes as he got calapaulted backwards. Penny screamed as she did a roundhouse kick, sending Nathan Drake flying out of the ring and into the portal below.
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
Charmy then let out a loud yell as he started to fly forward, only for Penny to grab Charmy and the two getting engulfed in a fight cloud. After a few minutes, the cloud cleared up to reveal Penny sitting on top of Charmy, the bee looking dizzy and seeing stars.
"Do I need to be clever? Maybe not. But if there's one thing I am, it's Proud." Penny smiled as she picked up Charmy by the arm and threw him out of the ring and into the portal below.
"Aye, she may be all alone without her allies, but she has demonstrated that she was strong enough in her way." Wally grinned.
"The question is did she really need her alliance to stand on her own two feet and she won't crumble without them?" Catherine asked.
"If you're not a winner, then you better go home!" Penny smirked before doing a cheer with a pair of pom-poms. "Because I'm Penny Proud! I'm cute and I'm loud! And I got it… Going on!"
MEWTWO
NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/POKEMON
The psychic legendary Pokemon came out to the American-ized version of Pokemon: The First Movie's soundtrack, more specifically, the Tears of Life music where Mewtwo and Mew accidentally turned Ash to stone, and the Pokemon and clone Pokemon's tears were the only things that brought him back to life. Fortunately, he, along with most of the other fighters, had tuned out Monokuma's roasts at this point as he looked ready to battle.
"MY personal pick, Mewtwo has lucked out in the draw here just like he did in the first Battle of the Luminaries!" Ashley smiled. "Of course, he intends to prove that him becoming the runner-up in said tournament wasn't dumb luck."
(Section Twenty-Two)
Captain Planet groaned as he held his stomach, looking to be in pain. Mewtwo, noticing Captain Planet in pain, quickly shoved Samurai Jack over to Bishamon, who happily tackled his opponent down before slashing him up nicely.
"Sorry it had to come to this, but… in this case, we runner-ups have to stick together." Mewtwo explained before picking up the injured Captain Planet as he tossed him out of the ring. Around the same time, Bishamon had picked up the wounded Samurai Jack and threw him out of the ring as he gave a laugh.
(Section Twenty-Three Part A)
Bishamon glared at Mewtwo as the psychic Pokemon waved his arms to grab the samurai telekinetically with his Psychic move. Bishamon choked out for a bit as Mewtwo gave a sigh. "I apologize for this, I admire your attempt, but I'm afraid it's as the old saying goes, "Always a bridesmaid, but never a bride". And in your case, you're going to have to be a bridesmaid again…"
Bishamon sighed as he looked up to Mewtwo. "If you think you can win this, I can respect that, but know this. Don't assume that just because you threw someone off, it means you won. If anything, that person can be sneaky and pull off a surprise attack without you realizing it. Believe me, I made that mistake in the second Ultimate Video Rumble when it was down between me and Guy."
"I'll make note of it." Mewtwo said as he looked towards the ropes. "I do have to apologize for throwing you out, though."
Without any more words spoken, Mewtwo casually threw Bishamon out of the ring and into the portal below.
However, Mewtwo raised an eyebrow as his eyes glowed blue. Garnet suddenly found herself encased in a blue psychic aura, getting caught in Mewtwo's psychic powers. Mewtwo looked at Garnet straight in her three eyes behind her visor as he gave a nod.
"A very admirable effort for someone who made it this far… but all good things must come to an end… thank you for this interesting battle… and by the way, that flying vision you had? It might come true sooner than you think. You just won't be around for it…" Mewtwo explained before tossing Garnet out of the ring and into the portal below.
"And he managed to do so, managed to place high in both section results. However, I would like to remind everyone that Pikachu has gotten the bottom slot in the Final Ten and you saw how THAT turned out." Ashley warned. "He should definitely consider Bishamon's advice to heart or else he may end up as the second coming of him.
Mewtwo's eyes glowed as he said, "The reign of Mewtwo will soon begin."
HARLEY QUINN
NODE: DC COMICS/BATMAN
Harley shuffled her hand in satisfaction as she continued walking. Normally, Harley would wave to the crowd… and she did, for a couple seconds and grinned, before turning her direct attention to a certain clown, who had just raised his head and gave a smile upon seeing her.
Drake smirked. "I'll have you know I've been rooting for my pick, Harley Quinn from the start! Especially since she gotten her own cartoon and of course, appearing in Multiversus, she showed why she deserves both privileges."
(Section Twenty-Two)
"Don't change the subject now!" Harley growled in anger. "I have been going up and down with Supert(BLEEP)s, Stars(BLEEP) and my crew, because I heard rumors that you were up to something with villains. I only joined them just so I can have my revenge against you… for lying to me, for manipulating me so many times!"
"But that was so long ago! Why are you holding THAT against me? I thought you made your point?" Joker asked in confusion.
"I did! But I also made a friend who happened to be in the same situation I was… this was basically to show HER just how to stand up to a (BLEEP)ty ex-boyfriend who only cares about themselves and their plans! So, basically, I'm doing what I'm doing because I (BLEEP)ING feel like bashing your head in today!" Harley said as she kicked him in the groin, causing the Joker to yelp out in pain. "And that's what I think of you!"
The Joker whimpered as he held his groin, falling down. Harley started to breathe up and down, feeling pretty satisfied. "Ahhh… you know, I feel better…"
"Well, thanks for letting me be your outlet…" The Joker squeaked out as he tried to get up.
"You're not welcome." Harley growled before sliding down, kicking the Joker down on the ground before he could pull out his gun. "And now, for the coup de resistance…"
Harley then grabbed Joker by the foot and started to swing him around via Bowser before tossing him like a pile of trash out of the ring and into the portal below.
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
Ichigo quickly turned around to see Harley picking up Muggshot and sending him out of the ring (and into Fortnite, where he got blown up by Jonesy). Harley then looked over to Ichigo and gave a grin.
"She is basically the Juri of the Tournament of Kikai, being a villainous woman and yet somehow on the side of good!" Drake grinned. "Perhaps that could help her make the Final Two or is this the story where she fails?"
Harley gave a dark grin. "Mama's gonna paint the streets with blood!"
TERRY BOGARD
NODE: KING OF FIGHTERS XIV/FATAL FURY
Everybody applauded as SNK's fighting mascot came out to the ring. The blonde haired boy took off his cap as he gave a wave to the crowd with it. After putting it back on his head, he charged into the ring.
"And here's MAH pick! Sure, the King of Fighters may be here or there, but this isn't just any KoF fighter, this is THE face of SNK itself!" Wally grinned. "Never forget he got into Smash!"
(Section Twenty-Two)
Terry rubbed his face a bit before narrowing his eyes at Mondo. Then, the man in red jumped in the air as he twirled around, kicking the ninja in the face.
"CRACK SHOOT!"
Mondo was taken off-kilter a bit as he tried to defend with his spear, but that was enough to give Terry the opening he needed to punch the ground.
"POWER GEYSER!"
A large amount of energy then came out from the ground below Mondo, the large geyser engulfing him as he took some damage. Before Mondo had time to recover, Terry was already charging with another attack ready.
"RISING UPPER!"
Terry uppercutted Mondo as he was sent airborne. Mondo shook his head as he tried to use his spear in the air in hopes to get Terry while he was in ground level. Unfortunately for the ninja, Terry dodged the incoming spear as he leaped into the air, a fist igniting in fire and energy as he punched Mondo directly in the face.
"POWER DUNK!"
Mondo did not have time to recover his bearings as that attack was more than enough to send him flying out of the ring and into the portal below.
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
"Here's the big one…" Terry said as he started to charge up his attack, Dante getting up weakly. "BUSTAH WOLF!"
Terry quickly punched Dante in the stomach, then two quick blows before sending the man flying out of the ring and into the portal below.
"Sure, he was starting his eliminations slow and hey, it doesn't matter as long as he got into the Final Two!" Wally grinned. "Granted, it remains ta be seen if Terry was going slow fer a reason, but we will have ta say ta see!"
Terry grinned before enthusiastically throwing off his cap. "OKAY!"
CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW
NODE: KINGDOM HEARTS/PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
"I would make a joke about his actor, but out of respect, I don't think I'm going to. If you ask me, the joke has suffered enough as it is." Monokuma said before giggling with glee.
The pirate captain from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise came out to a large amount of applause as he looked over, and staggered a bit, Jack Sparrow having a bit of rum before he walked into the ring. He continued staggering until he entered the ring, which by then he was starting to walk fine.
"I love how you included Monokuma's comment. It shows that even Junko more or less have standards." Ashley noted.
"Aye, but regardless, Captain Jack Sparrow is willing ta go over any dangerous journeys and this is no exception!" Wally grinned.
(Section Twenty-Two)
"Sorry… I hope wherever you go is a safe place!" Isabelle said as she swung her net around and threw Captain Jack Sparrow… not out of the ring, as she was trying to do, but in the wrong direction, sending him towards…
Captain Jack Sparrow was suddenly sent flying towards Rock, taking the son of Geese Howard by surprise as the pirate captain collided with Rock, sending him stumbling over the ropes as he fell out of the ring and into the portal below.
(Section Twenty-Three Results)
Isabelle's eyes started to widen in cuteness as she tried the 'Puss in Boots' strategy once again. Jack Sparrow stopped short as he looked down towards the dog. He smiled as he picked up the small dog as Isabelle gave a small giggle… before Isabelle realized that Jack was now dangling her over the ropes.
"AHH! Wait, let's talk about this!" Isabelle said as Captain Jack tossed her out of the ring. Jack could only watch and wait as Isabelle made a quick recovery, using her balloons and swing to lift herself back.
"Balloon swings? A nice idea." Jack smiled as he used his sword to poke the balloons, popping them both.
Isabelle yelped as she fell directly out of the swing and into the portal below. The last thing she saw before leaving the arena was Captain Jack Sparrow's cocky wave.
"Sure, he may seem like scum… Well, that's because he kinda is, but hey, I suppose that doesn't stop him from getting a couple of eliminations." Catherine shrugged.
"Oi…" Drake muttered. "But yeah, while Captain Jack has been through a lot, not even he has to deal with so many fighters so he may be overwhelmed.
"I got a jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt!" Captain Jack mockily sang while pumping a jar of dirt in the air. "And guess what's inside it!"
Catherine blinked twice before glaring at Drake. "...Really?"
"Yes, really." The vampire smirked, crossing his arms.
OSWALD THE MAGIC RABBIT
NODE: OSWALD THE MAGIC RABBIT/EPIC MICKEY
An immense amount of cheers started to erupt as one of Disney's first stars (before Mickey Mouse) came out of the curtains, as his theme song from his Universal days began to play, albeit the one used in 2018's Disney Fandaze. The black furred rabbit with blue shorts couldn't help but give a laugh to himself as he waved to the crowd.
"Oswald is definitely demonstrating when he should be the final Mystery Fighter!" Wally grinned.
"But of course, Epic Mickey is such a classic and Oswald is such a fan-favourite character despite being so forgotten!" Catherine squealed.
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
Bugs, just watching this sad display with a look that said 'are you serious', gave a sigh before approaching Oswald and Woody. "Oswald, you do realize you're making a complete fool of yourself, right?"
"I can't help it! That action figure took me by surprise!" Oswald called out. "And I swear I can feel him kicking me!"
Bugs sighed before picking up Woody and putting it in Oswald's hands. "Eh, you know Doc, he's not moving when we see him, right?"
"Yeah…?" Oswald raised an eyebrow in confusion, wondering where Bugs was going with this.
"Well, consider this idea, doc. If the toy cowboy here ain't moving, then there's no reason for this toy to be in this arena, right? What do we do with fighters that don't fight?" Bugs raised an eyebrow.
Oswald's eyes lit up, immediately getting the idea. And even though Woody's face couldn't move, he knew he was screwed. In fact, when Oswald skipped towards the ring's edge and tossed him out, Woody's face turned from a smile to a groan in an instant.
Drake frowned. "Okay, so maybe he was given the easiest elimination in the tournament after a rather humiliating encounter, but this is the Final Twelve, he has to step up his game!"
"Would that happen or was what happened with Woody threw him off of his game too much?" Ashley mused.
Oswald cheekily showed his rear to the camera with the words "The End" on them.
MILES "TAILS" PROWER
NODE: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Coming out to a massive loud cheer as his theme song from Sonic Adventure started to play (as he would normally do in tournaments like this), the two-tailed fox and sidekick of Sonic smiled as he waved to the crowd, high-fiving a few people as he passed by and jumping up and down with a grin. Once he felt he had enough, he started to spin his two tails as he lifted off from the ground and started to fly into the ring.
"Eeee! Tails is doing so well himself, making it to the Final Twelve when not even Sonic made it more than one round!" Catherine grinned.
Drake chuckled nervously. "Well, technically, Tails didn't make more than one round yet either, but aye, it is different here!"
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
When all of a sudden, Tails came in and slammed Peacock in the back, with Monkey doing the same in the front, causing Peacock to drop her shotgun. She did not have time to recover as both fox and monkey switched sides multiple times to hit her, before both of them eventually grabbed both of Peacock's hands.
"Three… two… one!" Tails called out as he and Monkey swung Peacock up in the air.
Monkey gave a small noise before Tails and Monkey took a deep breath and let out the longest noise as it reached Peacock's ears, the girl giving a loud yelp as she couldn't find time to recover, falling out of the ring and into the portal below.
Monkey panted hard before pulling out a Smash Ball, looking ready to use it. Tails yelped as he tried to pull a ring box out of his pocket and threw it directly at Monkey. The primate superhero then flew up in the air and smashed the Smash Ball, just as the ring box slammed down on the floor, exploding as rings flew out of it.
"Oh boy…" Tails said as he started to spin his tails again, ready to take flight.
At that time, Monkey was already activating his Final Smash as he went into a meditative pose and started to glow yellow as he made some chittering sounds with his mouth. Monkey immediately got out of the meditative pose and into his flying pose, ready to take on the flying fox.
Xero, knowing this would fit the mood, turned on Monkey's theme music as the primate and fox collided with each other, ready for battle. Tails and Monkey butted heads for a bit, Tails rebounding a bit from Monkey's raw power. The two-tailed fox quickly recovered as he quickly pulled out a cannon and attached it to his arm.
Monkey skidded to a halt in mid-air as the primate looked shocked.
"Sorry about this… but I have to do it." Tails said as he used the arm cannon to blast Monkey in the chest, sending the primate flying. Monkey quickly recovered as he flew back up in an attempt to slow down Tails, using his laser eyes, only for Tails to avoid each laser blast.
Eventually, Tails noted that Monkey's Final Smash had run out, and his yellow aura slowly depleted. Seeing this opportunity, Tails took a chance and shot another blast of power from his arm cannon, getting Monkey square in the chest as he screeched, before falling straight down to the portal below.
"I doubt he will know, but Tails have managed to get the top slot!" Ashley beamed. "Not only putting him on a good start, but also putting him as the ONLY Sonic character besides Dr. Eggman to get the top slot."
"But Tails should watch out. Because not only getting the top slot doesn't mean an automatic guaranteed easy ride, but it is a completely different story in the Final Twelve!" Wally reminded.
Tails happily jumped up while pumping his arms in the air. "I must be getting stronger!"
BLANKA
NODE: STREET FIGHTER V
The familiar green skinned jungle man came out to a moderate amount of cheering as he gave a roar of excitement before beating his chest. Giving a laugh, he started to roll down to the ring before making a three-point landing.
"The final Street Fighter demonstrated that he was worthy of being the final Street Fighter!" Drake grinned.
"Agreed. Not even some of his fellow World Warriors like Ken and Guile have gotten an elimination and yet here he is!" Ashley nodded.
(Twenty-Three Section Part One)
"Now the hunt begins!" Blanka announced before swiping towards Kayin, knocking him on the ground. Then, Blanka jumped up in the air, engulfing himself in electricity before slamming down on Kayin's chest, electrocuting the man as Kayin was sent flying in the air.
Blanka then growled angrily as he started to spin around while curled up, before rushing forward in a spin dash, knocking the airborne Kayin up in the air with no hope of getting back up as Kayin fell into the portal below.
"It seems that the wild guy still got it!" Wally smirked. "And he is willing ta continue ta go wild in the Final Twelve."
"I just hope for HIS sake that he doesn't overdo it." Catherine nodded.
Blanka pumped his arms in the air in triumph. "OW OW OW AAAH!"
BANJO & KAZOOIE
NODE: SUPER SMASH BROS/BANJO-KAZOOIE
The bear and bird came out, Kazooie carrying Banjo in her Talon Trot as Banjo waved to the audience, giving a cheer as his theme music from his first game started to play.
"Well, admittedly through the skin of their teeth… And beak, but Banjo & Kazooie have shown that they still got it." Ashley chuckled.
"Indeed. And just because they have gotten a slow elimination, that doesn't mean it is a bad one!" Wally grinned and nodded.
(Twenty-Three Section Part One)
All of a sudden, Banjo turned around and bended down as the back of his backpack opened up to reveal Kazooie's rear as she… laid some bouncing green eggs coming for the dog and lagomorph. Max noted the green eggs as he and Sam picked a few of them up. "Heh, funny, Sam, these look like gre-"
KABOOM!
The blast was more than enough of a radius to send both Freelance Police flying out of the ring with no hopes of getting back up.
Banjo quickly got up as he gave a chuckle, with Kazooie popping her head out with a smirk. "Grenade eggs, get them every time…"
"I WANT to say that I am rooting for them. Not as much as Bugs, but still…" Catherine frowned. "But their slow start may be an omen."
"You are not wrong." Drake mused. "Then again, Pikachu ended up in the Final Ten in the bottom slot in the first Battle of the Luminaries sooo."
Banjo played on his banjo while Kazooie blew through her blow before striking a pose. "Guh-huh!"
SUPERGIRL
NODE: DC COMICS/SUPERMAN
The blonde haired superheroine wearing her white crop top, red cape, blue skirt and red boots from the "Superman: The Animated Series" was standing outside the curtain, taking a few deep breaths as she decided to get brave. The crowd started to cheer for the young girl, getting a lot more cheers than Superman himself, but Supergirl ignored the cheers for the most part.
"She may be a 'Distaff Counterpart' of Superman, but that doesn't mean she can't kick tail in her own right!" Wally grinned.
"Agreed. She is already doing much better than her 'mainstream' cousin!" Catherine beamed.
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
Supergirl, noting the orbs, picked them up before quickly absorbing them. Ripto's eyes widened in shock as he jumped up to see that Supergirl was glowing green.
"Oh no…" Ripto shouted as he tried to run away.
Supergirl looked a bit confused at first… until she started to exhale and green acid came out of her mouth, popping directly towards Ripto as he got affected.
"AHHH!" Ripto screeched upon being hit.
Supergirl blinked in surprise at first, before giving a smirk as she flew after Ripto, spitting more green acid balls towards Ripto as the Riptoc groaned.
"It's bad enough that the dragon can get the power of the orbs, but YOU?" Ripto shouted before Supergirl spat out one last acid ball, exploding the Riptoc as he got sent flying in the air.
The power of the orbs quickly wore off on Supergirl, but she didn't need them as she flew forward and punched Ripto's lights out, sending the Riptoc flying without any hopes of getting back into the ring. Supergirl laughed as she gave a pose. "And this is why I am unstoppable!"
Bubbles whimpered a bit as she held her cheek, but shook her head as she turned towards Supergirl, looking ready to fight once more… or she would had she not collapsed a bit. Bubbles tried to get up, but alas, she fell down, letting out a small whimper. Supergirl gasped in horror as she flew right to Bubbles.
"Oh my gosh! What happened? I'm so sorry!" Supergirl said.
"I… think you broke my arm…" Bubbles whimpered.
"Oh no… no, no, no, oh my gosh…" Supergirl looked down in guilt.
"Hey… it's okay… I guess we all knew that was going to happen eventually, right?" Bubbles said as she tried to get up, but yelped in pain as she fell to the ground.
Looking concerned, Supergirl picked up the tiny little superpowered girl in her arms before looking down. "You're a little too hurt to continue… I'm really sorry…"
"Hey, I said it's okay. Don't worry about me…" Bubbles smiled weakly. "Just try and do well for me, okay?"
Supergirl paused as she looked down at the Powerpuff Girl in her arms, before thinking about everything that had happened… before giving a small smile. "Don't worry. I'll ensure everybody stays alive."
"Thank you, I-" Bubbles started to say, before her eyes widened. "Stays alive? What do you mean stays ali-"
That's as far as Bubbles went before Supergirl threw her out of the ring and into the portal below.
"Cat ain't exaggerating. Superman almost got eliminated in his debut section if it wasn't for the Big Guy Blocker!" Drake nodded. "Also SHE was the one who managed to eliminate Bubbles."
"But will it be enough? Sure, she was heavily involved in the plot, but so was the final fighter." Ashley reminded.
"Hope; help and compassion for all." Supergirl smirked, proudly patting her fist against her chest.
ICHIGO MOMOMIYA
NODE: TOKYO MEW MEW
The crowd erupted in cheers as the theme song to Tokyo Mew Mew started to play through the speakers as the pink haired cat girl came out with a large cat like grin on her face as she posed for the crowd.
"And Ichigo is proving why she is the final fighter!" Catherine squealed.
Drake blinked twice. "Um, did she? Her way into the Final Twelve was GIVEN to her. Even more than OSWALD."
(Section Twenty-Three Part One)
"Uh… were we supposed to hit that guy?" Billy asked.
"No, no we weren't…" Mandy frowned as she narrowed her eyes at Ichigo. "You're wasting our time, and we would save it if you just tell us where Grim was…"
"I'm telling, I'm telling!" Ichigo shouted. "He's currently climbing up a tower between the dome and the hotel, trying to stop an evil plot made by Junko Enoshima! That's all I can tell you!"
"A tower, hmmm?" Mandy paused, before crossing her arms. "So, Grim can find time to climb towers, but not enough time to do my chores? Well, we'll see whose boss. Billy, hang on to me."
"Okay!" Billy grinned as he grabbed Mandy's hand, Mandy looking at it in disgust as the boy belched.
Mandy turned to Ichigo as she said, "And you, toss me out. You gave me the information I need, now I would like to depart."
Ichigo blinked twice, before giving a shrug as she charged forward, kicking both Billy and Mandy out of the ring as they went into the portal below.
Ashley frowned. "...Okay, that wasn't a good transition into the Final Twelve, but Ichigo has bigger things to worry about."
"That's right! She is fighting for not herself, not her node, but the entire multiverse. Along with everyone else." Wally nodded.
Ichigo as Mew Strawberry smiled as she did a cat-like pose. "For the Earth's Future, I'll be of Service ~ Meow!"
"Well, that is your final twelve!" Drake grinned. "Like what you see, well, remember to vote and give them your support!"
"But don't forget about the Side Battles!" Ashley reminded. "This time, we have Hunter the Cheetah and Agent 9 from Spyro the Dragon and Sticks the Badger from Sonic the Hedgehog versus Xemnas from Kingdom Hearts, General Tsao from Sly Cooper and Needles Kane from Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale."
"Akane Owari from Super Danganronpa 2 and Goofy from Kingdom Hearts versus Slade from DC Comics and Napalm Man from Megaman." Drake nodded.
"Crunch Bandicoot from Crash Bandicoot, Guildmaster Wigglytuff from Pokemon Mystery Dungeon and Axel from Kingdom Hearts versus Vanitas from Kingdom Hearts, El Jefe from Sly Cooper and Bizarro from DC Comics." Wally winked.
"Mushu from Kingdom Hearts and Donkey from Shrek versus The Penguin and Mr. Freeze, both from DC Comics." Catherine nodded. "Andddddd…"
The camera then turned to the side to reveal a large red Tyrannosaurus Rex. Despite his imposing appearance, he had a cherry grin and wore a rainbow camo shirt, yellow shorts and an… Old piece of celery attached to his back with backpack straps.
"Min Min from ARMS and Dimitri from Sly Cooper versus Duke from Tokyo Mew Mew and Mz. Ruby from Sly Cooper." The T-Rex grinned. He then looked towards the other. "Did I say it good?"
"You said just fine, J.T." Catherine said with a smile.
"Ladies, gentlemen and non-binaries!" Drake grinned before gesturing to the T-Rex. "Josh Tyrannosaurus!"
"Hello! It is SO nice to be featured on the show!" The dinosaur grinned before gesturing to the celery stick on his back. "And this is my best friend, Celery! Say hi, Celery!"
"...How long did he have that thing?" Ashley asked before getting elbowed in the side by Catherine.
"Thanks again fer the shirts, J.T.!" Wally grinned.
"Thanks again for wearing them! You would think that making so many of only twelve different shirts would be easy." The red-scaled giant said before frowning. "But it's really not!"
"I could imagine." Ashley frowned. He then brightened up. "But hey, these shirts look great!"
"Yeah, I am impressed you managed to get these out on such short notice!" Drake nodded.
"Aww, thanks!" Josh smiled. "I am so happy that Xero asked me to help!"
"Indeed, I never expected to hear from you again." Catherine nodded.
"Same! Things really got slow when everyone was done with the Creature Crossing group." Josh sighed, sadly. He then brightened up. "But hey, I get to meet new friends!"
"Aye, same here!" Wally grinned.
Josh happily nodded. "So what now?"
"Well, nothing much. We will tell everyone to stay tuned and cut off." Drake nodded.
Josh happily wagged his tail. "Oh boy!"
With that, the T-Rex ran over to the group and grabbed them up in a large bearhug squeezing the life out of them.
"Stay tuned!" Josh grinned.
Ashley grunted in pain. "Who needs to bother with despair when you are going through pain like THIS!?"
CLICK!
"So that is how the Finalist analyst works." Wally explained after turning off the screen.
"It is kinda basic, but the Final Two will definitely be more detailed." Catherine offered.
A large figure and a small figure both nodded their heads. Sitting next to them were Stinky and Allison.
"Ah, I see. I suppose that is all it is, huh." The large figure noted.
"It doesn't seem that bad." The small figure chuckled.
"That's because you weren't there." Stinky muttered before slapping his forehead. "I still can't get over how everyone was either killed or put into despair. Because of not one, but TWO blunders from Xero."
"...Ah think we already made that joke." Wally said, blinking twice.
"Who's joking!? YOU guys nearly died!" Stinky scolded. "Seriously, Xero and Maurice had Junko right there! They could have stopped her altogether!"
"...Now that I think about it. Junko may have figured out that those 'screaming' snow globes were not real from the start." Allison mused.
"Xero may be crafty in his own right, but I DID have thoughts of him outwitting the former Ultimate Analyst." The large figure frowned.
"...So am I the only one who is curious as to why you guys didn't do your job in the next results recap?" The small figure piped up.
"Yeah, you guys clearly looked like you were having fun. What happened?" The large figure asked.
"Sorry, we can't say right now." Wally frowned.
"Aww, come on!" The small figure whined.
"Now, now, they are right. We can't spoil it." The large figure mused.
"Agreed. Besides, you two need ta go over the rest of the recap all of the way from Section One." Wally said, sternly, crossing his arms.
The small figure pouted. "Fine… Just one question."
Catherine raised an eyebrow. "And that is?"
"Will we see more Mirrorverse redesigns in the near future?" The small figure asked.
Allison's eyes lit up. "Oh, I was thinking that as well!"
"It is hard to say. I think Ariel is able to activate her Mirrorverse form because she could fight on land without being a human." Stinky mused. "But considering THIS tournament, you never know."
"Well, I am already looking forward to it." The large figure chuckled.
"Same here, same here!" The small figure grinned.
Wally chuckled. "Alright, alright, for now, let's recap."
