A/N: Been a long time since I've updated. So let's screw this and right to the chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own the majority of these characters. Nintendo does. Only the ones I made up and the one Shinobi Kitten helped me create. Yeah, she also said that a naginata is basically a pole with a curved blade at the end and another on the other end.

Chris had his arms crossed and eyes closed. He leaned against the iron pole that supported the seats above him. Sam, filled with boundless energy, was swinging her naginata around. The long handled sword cut through the air. The crowd above them roared as the fight began. Sam looked over to Chris who hadn't noticed, or cared, for what was happening.

"Chris, I'm bored," Sam said.

"Are you too questioning my decision?" Chris asked.

"No, I'm just bored," Sam answered. "Can we have a practice fight?"

Chris stood silent. He slowly opened his piercing eyes. "You want to waste energy, then you go ahead but do not try to include me in it. We are on an important mission and we cannot afford to be reckless. I only hope that the others, well, at least Daniel, knows that much."

Roy knocked back Fox with his Sword of Seals. Fox, with his fur slightly singed, readied his blaster and fired and endless barrage of lasers at Roy. With his sword in hand, Roy deflected each laser aimed at him.

Fox, noticing his blaster was ineffective, decided it was best to place as much distance between himself and Roy. With his remarkable speed, he started to have a quick retreat. It was a shame that the area was more of Roy's expertise. The flat grassland with a thick forest next to it, no way was Fox going to be able to lose him.

Once inside the woodland, Fox took to the treetops. Hopping from branch to branch, Fox finally came to a stop at a giant tree. Sitting on a high branch with his back against the trunk, he tried to devise a plan. The branch below him shook as the leaves became unsettled. Fox looked down, expecting Roy but found nothing.

Fox, assured it was only a squirrel or bird, brought his attention back up only to confront someone in black on the same branch he was on.

"Aw, you found me," Steve said. He produced kunai knives and threw them at Fox.

Taken off guard, Fox tried to escape but one of the knives managed to embed themselves into his shoulder. He sat there with it as the black ninja simple stood there. Whoever they were, they weren't playing by the rules.

As he grimaced with pain, Fox pulled out the kunai and planned on throwing it back but Steve already disappeared. Fox looked around him but found nothing. Already on edge, Fox came to the conclusion that it was best to get out of the forest. He jumped to another branch before he was lifted up higher. A rope was snagged around his leg and held him upside down. In a blur, Steve came out from the shadows and stuck a small paper with some wording on it on Fox's forehead. Fox wriggled around for a few more seconds before he disappeared.

"What a disappointment," Steve said. He shook his head, "Chris better give me more of a challenge next time".

Roy paced himself around the entrance of the forest. He knew from his travels that it was best not to go into a forest unless you were prepared to enter.

"Yo, dude with the sword. Wanna fight? You got one right here," Daniel said as he walked up to Roy.

"Who are you? Where is Fox?" Roy asked.

"Questions, questions, questions. Fox, he's probably being dealt with my comrade. You heroes usually run to help but you got me to worry about right now."

Roy readied his sword. With his own blazing speed, he charged to Daniel. Smiling, Daniel erected a wall of rock as Roy came in close. Roy stowed to a stop before he crashed. In a matter of moments of staying still, more walls erected to enclose him. Daniel floated down with a metal Bo staff in his hand.

"Yeah, well I'm not fighting. I already got you beat." Daniel said.

Roy looked down to see himself being engulfed into the earth. He slowly went under with no way of escaping.

"What's happening?" John said from his box. The whole crowd was stunned to see both Roy and Fox simply disappeared as soon as the video came back from the battle area. "Two fighters have simple gone missing."

The crowd was going wild. It just seemed impossible for two first class fighters to vanish without a trace.

Down below, Daniel and Steve showed up. Chris gave them a hard stare. Sam was smiling at them.

"So this is our first mission complete," Steve said. "Too bad that there so called heroes barely put up much of a fight."

"You said it. Took them down in a matter of minutes," Daniel agreed. "So whose next Chris? Put us back in there again, it was just too much fun."

"Let's head back," Chris said.

"What? Why?" Steve asked.

"Simple, do you really think they will continue the tournament today? As we speak, they are already investigating. We do not need to be here when it comes here. Don't worry, I'm sure tomorrow will be better for you all," Chris said.

A/N: Here's the thing, I'm planning on going out of town so don't expect an update of any kind. Not for any story I'm currently working on for about a week.
