General Badaxe- Ok, no complaints on my last chapter, so I am going to assume it went ok. This one is going to break 5k words though, definitely because it is the battle scene. On with the fic!

After the blinding flash of light, a giant wave of smoke appeared around them as they landed, forcing all eight of the team to cough and hack as they tried to stand up. After the smoke cleared, Laharl had a couple words for the shining light. "Damn you! Why did you try to kill us with a bunch of smoke!"

The shining light turned a light pink, and then said "Well, I thought it would be more dramatic and look cooler if we had a bunch of smoke at our entrance."

"LOOK! It only looks good if we aren't coughing at the beginning. You are supposed to warn us you are about to do it, so we can prepare. Otherwise, we look like a bunch of asses, like right now!" Laharl yelled at the thing.

"Well sorry, if you want, next time I will tell you about the matches in advance as well!" The shining light yelled at him, trying to act as though he is babying Laharl.

"Actually, that would be a good thing." Laharl said in a dry voice.

"ENOUGH!" Yelled Etna from the audience. "I came here to see a fight, and possibly have Laharl get his ass kicked! Start it already!"

"Etna," Flonne said right next to her "It isn't wise to yell out those phrases where Laharl can hear you. You know the kind of temper he has, you are just asking for disaster, you know that?"

"Relax Flonne; they have a shield that protects the audience from the fighters. We should be ok." Etna said in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Etna, they had to remove that thing, after the audience 'Hot Dog' incident. It is no longer up." Flonne told Etna.

Suddenly, the two felt a huge wave of killer intent directed at their direction. Both look over, to where Laharl is standing, and he is glaring at them. "Oh, hi Prince. How is it going?" Etna said in a slightly worried voice.

"Etna, are we going to have another one of 'those' incidents?" Laharl asked her in an irritated tone.

"Prince, at the rate this is going, we just might." Etna said. Flonne just sighed as though this was an old every day occurrence.

"Leaders!" Said a voice from nowhere. "Proceed to the center of the ring, to decide the matches."

Laharl jumps up and begins to walk to the center of the ring. Walking toward him is a man about six feet tall. The guy has raven colored hair, which flowed down to his shoulders. He had a katana on his side, about twice the length of a regular one. He had on a black jacket, and black pants. Not the kind of guy you pick a fight with, even when you are drunk. "This little boy is the leader for the next team?" He said in a gruff voice "This will be an easy win."

Laharl's eyes flashed red, and then he grabbed the cosmic blade at his side, trying not to kill this guy. "Let's hope that I don't kill you." Laharl said in a threatening voice.

"Big words for one so small." The man said.

"You really want to die don't you?" Laharl asked him through gritted teeth.

"All right, for the rules, my team wants one on one fights to the death. Best of eight, five wins, wins the match." The gruff man said.

"To the death? Sorry but there are a couple people on my team who don't like to kill, unlike you sadistically sons on bitches." Laharl told him in a calm voice.

"Well, I don't accept any other rules. Neither does my team. All of us are still alive from our first match, so we are ok."

"All right, I accept those terms," Laharl says, and the guy begins to walk away "Under one condition." The guy stops where he is, turns around, and glares at Laharl.

"What would that condition be?" Said the guy, looking really annoyed right now.

"If the people step out of the ring, it is a loss for that team. I don't want to involve the crowd." Laharl said, and then he grinned. "They might get in the way after all."

"Fine we agree. It would be unfortunate if a couple people in the crowd die." The man said in a gruff voice, and then he walked back to his team.

"Stuff it Prince," Etna said in a weird voice. "You just don't want to run the risk of hurting Flonne."

Saying this, both Laharl and Flonne go red in the face, and Laharl yells at Etna "ETNA! If that were the case, I would just forbid you two from coming."

"Prince, we would come anyway. Until you get back to the castle, you can't tell me what to do." Etna tells him smartly.

Laharl said in a defeated tone "Do you two have ANY idea how badly you piss me off?"

"Prince, without us, you would be bored out of your mind." Etna said.

Laharl just stares at her, and then he says "I hate you, with every fiber of my being."

Etna just laughs. Laharl walked back to his team, and jumped over the edge. "Guys, it is fights to the death. However, I managed to get them to agree that ring-outs would also count as a loss."

"So, fights to the death eh?" Inuyasha said in an excited tone. "I can't wait."

"Guys, I don't really care who you fight, however, the leader of that team is mine." Laharl said in a pissed off tone.

Zelos gets up first. "I might as well get this over with." He muttered in a dry voice.

His opponent was a strange thing; it was a liquid shadow, entirely black, with two glowing red dots for eyes. It looked on at Zelos, and then it shifted. It turned into a black Zelos, with red eyes. However, it didn't gain any color, it was still completely black.

Zelos pulls out a sword and shield, and prepares to fight. The black thing conjures up a sword and shield as well, identical to Zelos's, except that they are black.

"BEGIN!" Said the voice from nowhere.

Zelos rushed the thing, jumped into the air, and slammed his shield into the thing. However, the black thing split apart, and dodged his attack. Then it formed in front of him, and slashed Zelos with his sword. A bloody gash appeared on Zelos's front, as he jumped backwards. "Damn, that was close." Zelos said while holding his wound.

The black thing kept looking at Zelos, who slashed his sword forward, and sent a tiny shockwave at the thing. "Demon Fang!" Zelos cried out. The thing slides around the shockwave and suddenly three fireballs fly at it. "Fireball!" Zelos cries out. The thing slides around those, and then a giant wave of fire springs from the ground, hitting the thing into the air. "Eruption!" Zelos cries out.

The thing is in the air, and then Zelos rushes at it. Zelos jumps into the air, right as the thing morphs. It transformed into a giant air pressure hammer! It pulls back, and when Zelos reaches it, he goes wide eyed. It slams the hammer into him, and sends him flying into the wall, and then Zelos slides onto the dirt.

The black thing walks back to his team, and slides off the stage to them. "Disappointing." Was all the thing said, before it slid off to the shade, where you could only see two glowing red dots.

Inuyasha stood up on the ring, and walked to the center. Then a small man, a little bigger than Laharl, but only by a couple inches, walked to the center. He had on flame resistant clothes, so Inuyasha guessed his weapon was fire. You couldn't see his face, the guy had on a mask, and no skin showed anywhere.

"BEGIN!" The voice yelled out.

Inuyasha pulled out his sword which turned into a giant buster sword. Then, he ran at the kid. He slashes across the waist, which is about where the kid has his head. The kid jumped back, put his arms forward, and launched a couple small looking pellets. Inuyasha jumped away, as they hit the ground beneath him, and exploded when they landed. The kid fired more and more, causing Inuyasha to jump farther and farther back.

The explosions reigned across the field, keeping Inuyasha at bay, and not giving him an opening. Inuyasha jumped high into the air, but the kid launched even more pellets into the air, and they exploded when they reached Inuyasha. This propelled him off the arena, and into the dirt, where he left a small crater. The kid just smirked, and walked over to the side where his team was waiting for him.

"People, this isn't good, we just lost the first two matches." Laharl told them. "We had better start winning, or it is game over for us. Quite literally actually, if you lose, some words will come up that say 'game over' I have seen it a couple times."

"Wow, you get 'game over?'" Lloyd asked him "We get a screen with a giant tree on it that asks if we want to quit or load our game."

"Well, we all can't be special." Laharl tells him.

Naruto walked up to the stage, and jumped up. "Don't worry, I won't lose." He says in a strong voice.

He walks to the center, where a behemoth of a man is standing there. He is about seven feet tall and about five feet wide. He looks more like a giant meatball than a man. He has on some sweat pants, that seem like they are ripping, but he doesn't wear a shirt. This of course leads to some strange things.

"Um, guys, he has some of the biggest man-boobs I have ever seen…" Laharl said in a shocked voice.

"It happens when you get really fat." Leon said in an awed tone, not believing someone as big as him can exist.

"What I am saying is this," Laharl said in a slow voice "I have never tested one of my weaknesses on a male version, but I think I am immune to that stuff if a guy has it. THANK GOD!"

"What weakness would that be?" Dante asks him.

"I have no idea why, but I lose some of my strength around women. And, NO it is not puberty! The weakness manifested while I was still in diapers." Laharl said to them.

"So, you were a pervert since you were a baby?" Dante asked him in a teasing manner.

"Dante, don't make me kill you." Laharl told him in a stone cold voice.

"BEGIN!" The voice from nowhere yelled out.

Naruto rushes forward, spins before the guy, and slams his tail into the guys gut. However, the impact just gets absorbed by the guys gut, and bounces off of him harmlessly. The guy rushes forward, at an impossible speed for one of his girth. He slams his fist into Naruto, who goes flying from the arena. Naruto grabs onto the edge with his tail, and lifts himself back onto the edge. 'That was too close for my comfort.' Naruto thought to himself, eyeing the ledge.

Naruto whips around, and forms a small fireball in his hands, and points it at the guy. The fat guy just grins, and sucks in air. He bloated up like a frog, and seemed made of rubber. Naruto dropped his fireball, and just grinned. The guy let go of his breathe, and went back to normal size, a puzzled expression on his face. Suddenly, another Naruto appeared behind him, and slammed his foot into the guys head. The guy goes flying at Naruto, who jumps into the air, and forms three more shadow clones. The three Naruto clones kick the fat guy upward.

"U"

"ZU"

"MA"

"KI"

"Naruto Rendan!" Naruto cries out, as he slams the heel of his foot into the guy's face, and sends him plummeting to the ground. The guy hit the ground, but he also bounced back up to Naruto. Naruto was too shocked to block the kick the guy slammed into him. Naruto went flying, but he formed a clone above him, had it explode, and the explosion sent him into the arena, but it hurt to do it.

"Damn, this is going to be a bigger pain than I thought." Naruto said.

The guy then pulls his arms and legs in, and then rolls at Naruto at an incredible speed. Naruto rolls to the side, but the guy rolls around in a circle, and comes charging at Naruto again. Naruto is huffing right now, and a rock fragment had hit his leg earlier, and embedded itself in his leg. He could barely move. He was right on the edge, with a giant ball of doom heading straight for him. Naruto crossed his arms in a blocking manner, and braced himself for the impact.

The ball slammed into him, and knocked him into the outside of the arena, but the fat guy jumped into the air, and was rolling at high speeds ready to crush Naruto. Naruto just grinned, and said "Got you."

Then Naruto poofed away in a puff of smoke, and another Naruto appeared on the arena stage. "Fool, you let your bloodlust consume you." Naruto said, and then the guy slammed hard into the dirt.

He stopped rolling, stood up and looked at Naruto. "Well, looks like I lose kid." Then the guy walks away from the crater, and to his team.

Naruto walks to his own team, and then glares at everyone. "If any one of you people loses after that, I am going to chuck that person off of the mansion when we get back. I didn't come here to lose." Then, he walked away from the group, sat in the shade, and laid down.

'That guy can be pretty bossy for someone who looks like he is bored out of his mind.' Laharl thought to himself.

Dante jumped onto the stage, and walked to the center. "I'll handle the next guy. Don't worry; I don't plan to lose either. But hey, something might happen, so I might want to grow wings as well." Dante calls to them.

Naruto chuckled. Dante cracked a grin, and then studied his opponent. It was a guy in a black cloak, which covered his entire body. The guy also had a very large scythe on his back. "Just great," Dante said in a dry voice "I get the guy who thinks he is death incarnate."

The cloaked guy doesn't even flinch, or appear to get angry at the insult; he just pulls the scythe off of his back, and holds it in a ready position.

"BEGIN!" The vice from nowhere yells out.

Dante waits, and so does the guy with the scythe. Dante pulls out a long sword, which has a skull at the hilt. (Rebellion to the people who know the sword.) They just stare at each other, both of them refusing to move. Then, the guy with the scythe moves first. He rushes at Dante, his scythe swinging in an arc, right at Dante's head. Dante steps back a couple of paces, and then pulls out his two pistols.

Dante shot a couple of times in front of the guy, who just back flipped, and put some distance in-between him and Dante. A red glow appears around the scythe in his hands, and then he swings the scythe forward. A giant shining blade erupts from the scythe, and flies straight at Dante. As the blade got close, Dante smashed it away with his sword, and yelled out "You have to do better than that!"

Suddenly, a sharp pain courses through Dante starting at his back. Dante looks at his back, and sees a glowing scythe blade in his back. 'How?' Dante thought to himself. 'I knocked it away; he couldn't have hit me with it!'

The scythe turns red again, and then another shining blade flies at Dante. Dante rolls out of the way of this one, and stands up, looking as the blade flies into the wall behind where he was standing. Nothing exciting happens, the blade just disappears. Suddenly, another sharp pain hit Dante, except this one is in his leg. He looks down; to see some shining stuff disappear, another blade hit him in the leg.

'Screw this; I'm going straight for him!' Dante thought to himself.

Dante rushed at the guy, who started to charge his scythe up again. Dante shot him in the head with one of his pistols, still running at him. The scythe goes back to a normal color, as Dante reaches the guy. Dante slams him into the air with his sword, and pulls out his two pistols. Then, as the guy starts falling, Dante starts to juggle him with the bullets. The guy keeps jolting around, as though invisible hands are slapping him up, but his scythe starts to grow a dark blood red.

Shining scythe blades appear around Dante, and start to hammer themselves into him. Dante doesn't move at all, as he keeps firing his two pistols into the guy, as scythe blades enter his arms, his legs, and his torso, everywhere. Neither of them looked like they were going to make it out of this alive, they just kept hammering into each other. Suddenly, a giant shining scythe blade appears in front of Dante, and begins to rotate extremely fast. Dante goes wide eyed, but he still keeps pulling the triggers.

At the max speed of the rotation, the scythe blade flies at Dante, who puts his pistols away, and in the blink of the eye, he pulls out a rocket launcher, and fires it into the scythe. Dante goes flying backwards, and slams into the wall, and slides into the ground. The smoke cleared from the arena, and it showed the guy in the cloak, with a giant shining scythe blade in his head, on the ground dead. It was a tie.

Dante got up, and shook his head to clear it. Then he walked around to his team, and told them "Naruto, you can't chuck me off the building. I didn't lose, I just tied him."

"I know." Naruto said, not bothering to open his eyes as he relaxed in the shade.

Then Leon walked onto the stage. He pulled out a crossbow, with a strange looking bolt in it. His opponent was a guy who had a couple gallons of gasoline strapped to his body, and a strange match set at his side. The guy was four feet tall; basically, he is really, really short. The guy had on an army jacket, and was loaded down with explosives as well. The guy was a regular walking time bomb.

"BEGIN!" The voice from nowhere yelled out.

The walking time bomb pulled out one of the gallons of gasoline, and started to drink it, as his other hand prepared one of the matches. Leon aimed the crossbow at the guys other gasoline jugs, and fired it. When the arrow hit the tank, it exploded which sent off a chain reaction and sent the guy flying into the air, where Leon pulled out an RPG, and then fired it at the guy. When the guy stopped going higher, the rocket hit him, and sent chunks of meat into the crowd. Some people cried out in horror, other laughed, and some just didn't care.

Leon walked back to his team, and just smirked at them, while everyone else who fought scowled.

Hunk walked up on stage, and saw his opponent. It was a guy in a masked hood, which had something that looked like an executioners axe on his back. The guy also had three whips along his belt, and a strange looking brand. He had four arms, two legs, and had on some red pants, and that was it. Hunk raised his hand, and then said "I give up. My gun has been jamming, and I can't figure out why."

Then Hunk walks off the stage, and back to his team. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Laharl screamed at him.

Hunk looked at Laharl, and then said "My gun was jamming, and I didn't have any flash grenades. My chance of winning was only 35, so I wasn't going t risk it. If you have a problem with it, tell it to someone who cares." Hunk says, and then he pulls out his TMP, and begins to take it apart.

Lloyd jumps up onto the arena, and pulls out his blades that look like fire and ice. His opponent pulls out a giant claymore, about twice the size of him. The guy has white contacts in his eyes, and a scar running from ear to ear. He also has a giant spike on each of his shoulders. Probably for decoration purposes. The guy is completely bald, and has red lines going across his eyes.

"BEGIN!" The voice from nowhere yelled out.

The big guy rushed at Lloyd, and slashed across his body at Lloyd, who disappeared during the slash. The big guy looks around in confusion, and then heard a whistle above him. He turned around, and saw that Lloyd was standing on top of the giant blade. "You know, it is very foolish to use such a big blade." Lloyd said, as he jumped off.

"It is really predictable what you are going to do. You have the choice of swinging vertically, or horizontally. Not really a big range of moves and that allows me to get in close." Lloyd said in a bored voice.

The guy grew angry and rushed at Lloyd again, swinging downward this time. Lloyd side-stepped, and then rushed in, his blades crossed. When Lloyd got close, the guy pulls one of the spikes out of his shoulder, and stabbed at Lloyd. Lloyd jumped onto the spike, and rushed forward even faster, and then slammed his foot into the guys face, and then flew up into the air. "Rising Falcon!" Lloyd yelled out, and then he flew at the guy, and slashed him with the power the fall added to his blades, and the guy fell apart, covering the ground in blood.

Lloyd walked away, and to his group. "Laharl, your up. Don't lose."

Laharl bore one of his cocky grins, and then said "Who do you think you are talking to? I don't lose that easily." Then Laharl walked to the center of the arena, where the leader from the other team was waiting.

"BEGIN!" The voice from nowhere yelled out.

The guy pulled out his katana, and slashed the Cosmic Blade from Laharl's hands. "Well, that could be a problem, wouldn't you agree?" The guy said cockily.

"Just as well, that blade would have made it too easy." Laharl told him in a bored voice.

Suddenly, Laharl disappeared, and appeared right behind the guy. The guy whipped around, and said "What! How did you do that?"

Laharl just smirked, and said "I have some hyper drive boots on. I didn't bother using them before, but I want to beat you down without a sword, so I might need them."

Laharl disappeared again, and the guy whipped around and slashed with his katana. "Not bad, guessing I would appear behind you was very smart. However, most people always assume I will appear behind them, so I do." The guy turned around, and slashed again.

"Not bad, not bad, you are getting closer. However, close doesn't cut it when dealing with me." Laharl whispered into his ear.

The guy slashed behind him, and slashed air again. The guy spins around in a circle, and slashes in all directions. He misses with each strike. "ABOVE YOU!" A voice from the crowd called out.

The guy looks up, and sees Laharl above him. "Here I come!" Laharl cries out, and the slams his fist into the ground, sending a massive pillar of fire all around him. The guy goes flying across the field, but he manages to stay on. "Good, if you fell off, you would have disappointed me." Laharl told him with a grin on his face.

"Damn you." The guy said while breathing heavy. Laharl grinned even wider, and then said "It's already done. Didn't you notice I was a demon?"

The guy slams his sword into the ground, and suddenly a massive wave of air goes flying at Laharl. "You don't learn do you?" Laharl asked right next to the guy. The guy spins around and slashes at Laharl. Laharl disappeared, and appeared a couple steps back.

"This is getting boring, you know that?" Laharl asked him in a bored voice.

The guy cries out angrily, and rushes at Laharl again. "Well, I better stop fooling around now." Laharl said in a sigh.

Laharl held his hand forward, and said "Well, you should be honored. This is the first time I have ever used this technique." Suddenly, four swords rip out of the ground around the guy, and lightning charges into each of the blades. The guy stops running at Laharl, and looks around himself in horror. Suddenly, the electricity from the blades rips forward, and surges into the guy in a blinding flash.

When the mess cleared, the guy inside had disappeared, and only four giant holes confirm that he ever existed. Suddenly, a blinding flash of light engulf Laharl, and Laharl thought to himself 'That damn light. I can't even hear a single cheer from the crowd before we return to the place!'

General Badaxe- All right, before someone tries to guess the move, or yell at me for giving it to Laharl, yes I did give him Gran Sword. Why? I think it should come with the tyrant title; I could care less about the other move, I just think he should get Gran Sword. Don't yell at me for giving it to him, I will ignore that review if you do. Damn it, I found myself forcing me to write the rest of this fic. It was fun at the beginning, but about halfway through this chapter, I was forcing myself. Not a good sign, so you people might find an abrupt end to this fic.
