A/N: Ok, so you know what happened in the last chapter. Now the next chapter begins. If you're a fan of Guilmon and Pikachu, you will love this chapter. Please read and review and please no flames.

Chapter 3: Second round: More confusion:

Last time, Goku and Link won and they were totally confused because of the shocking effects that happened to Marth and Vegeta. The next round is about to begin. Pikachu was training outside with Guilmon watching.

"You know we'll be against Sasuke and Pichu in the tournament?" asked Guilmon.

"I know!" Pikachu smiled "but it doesn't mean I won't let Yoshi down."

"That's the spirit" Guilmon said "So let's get it over with!"

"Yeah!"

"I'm going to tell you. You lose" Naruto said to Sasuke as they walked down the corridor of the stadium.

"Oh yeah?" Sasuke said "And I don't think you can be the judge."

"But didn't you see what happened to Marth and Vegeta?" asked Naruto "the same thing could happen to you."

"It's probably the stage effect, so it doesn't make a difference. Stay out of this clown" Sasuke said as he walked away.

"I think it's more than the stage effect" Naruto said.

Meanwhile, Link and Goku get down to some serious thinking.

"I know we won, but something doesn't feel right" Goku said.

"Yeah, how can Marth and Vegeta get shocked while we didn't even touch them" Link said.

"Hey, guys!" Mario called waving his hand "You're coming to the stadium? The match would start in 1 hour!"

"OK!" They all said and ran down to the stadium.

Fox was talking to Falco. "I know you lost, but it's life. Besides, it was probably Bobobo's fault that he is so crazy" Fox said.

"I know… but you better not lose either" Falco smiled.

"Yeah. I don't want to disappoint Krystal" Fox smirked.

Luffy, in the meantime, was with Anna and Young Link.

"Look at this" Anna said, holding a ring device. "That what made Vegeta and Marth lost. It's called an element ring. I guessing that Broly and the others put this on all of us, apart from Goku, Link and probably Pikachu, Guilmon, Mario, Luffy, Fox and Naruto, to make us all lose the fight so they can advance to the finals."

"But what is their plan? And where did they put the devices?" asked Young Link.

"I don't know" Anna said "but I'm worried about Yoh, if he has a device on him."

Luffy looked at the clock. "OH MY GOSH! We're gonna be late for the next match. Let's go and cheer them on."

The other agreed and ran out.

At the stadium, everyone took their seats. Goku and Link sat with Fox and Luffy and Mario and Naruto. Then the announcer came on stage.

"Welcome back and now we moved on to group b!" the announcer said. "And the contesters are entering, right about now."

Donkey Kong and Nami entered first. Nami smiled at Luffy. He did came after all. She would try her best, for him. Peach and Sakura came up next. Mario and Naruto smiled hoping that they would win. Jigglypuff and Veemon walked up next. Veemon was confident on defeating Guilmon. He didn't have a chance to fight him because Agumon kept defeating him. Sasuke and Pichu came up next. Pichu waved to the crowd. Sasuke just remained silent. When Guilmon and Pikachu came up, the crowd cheered.

"Come on, Guilmon!" Renamon cheered.

"You can do it!" Yoshi cheered.

Guilmon and Pikachu heard them and blushed. Link and Fox smirked. They knew Pikachu was well prepared for this.

"Ready?" The announcer called as the fighters got into their fighting positions. "GO!"

Sasuke then charged at Guilmon and threw a knife. But Guilmon dodged the knife by an inch. Pikachu jumped and send lighting at Veemon which shocked him. Veemon got up and used Vee-Headbutt at Pikachu but he used Skull Bash and connect at each other full blast. Pichu used electric shocks at Sakura but she dodged it. Peach appeared behind Pichu and whacked him with her golf club.

"Ouch" Mario said "That's gotta hurt."

Jigglypuff rolled around the arena trying to attack Nami. She used her weather staff and blocked the attack. DK ran up to Sasuke and punched him. But Sasuke grabbed his arm and then punched him in the stomach which send him flying.

"Man!" Agumon said "Sasuke means business."

In the shadows, Mewtwo and Impmon was watching. Impmon has got the controller.

"Not if we had anything to say about it" Mewtwo smirked.

Impmon smirked and pressed the button. Sasuke, who ran up to attack Guilmon, was about to attack when he was covered by ice. Guilmon turned around and was shocked.

"What?" Guilmon asked.

Everyone was shocked too.

"Ice?" Fox said "First Vegeta and Marth got electrical shocks and now Sasuke got cold and turned to ice? What is going on here?"

Guilmon, who was confused, knew he has to continued. He grabbed Sasuke and threw him out of the stage KO'd him. Pikachu was confused at the same time and so did the other fighters but they continued. DK ran up to Pikachu again but then Impmon pressed it again. DK also turned to a block of ice.

"What the…?" Pikachu gasped.

"Something is very wrong here" the announcer said.

"Not again…" Luffy sighed.

Pikachu pushed the frozen DK along the smooth path and then kicked him out of the arena. Nami ran up to Sakura and she dodged and blocked it with her knife. Jigglypuff ran up to attack it but Pikachu appeared and knocked in the air. Jigglypuff fell out of the arena. Peach ran up to attack Guilmon but again with the button and Peach was frozen again.

"PEACH!" Mario gasped.

"This is insane" Link said "why would Sasuke, DK and Peach turned to ice?"

"Search me" Naruto said.

Guilmon look quite as confused as the others are. "Forgive me." He said and then used his tail to knocked Peach out of the arena. Pichu used Skull Bash and knocked Nami into a wall. Nami got up and was about to use the weather rod until Pikachu used Thunder and knocking her out of the window.

"Nami lost" Zolo said.

"NAMI!" Luffy called.

"This is all wrong" Pikachu said to Guilmon "what is going on?"

"I don't know" Guilmon said.

Sakura then ran up attack Pichu. Pichu was about to attack when… can you guess?

"Last time on both of them" Impmon said as he pressed the button.

"SAKURA!" Naruto gasped as she and Pichu were frozen.

Guilmon and Pikachu were shocked. But they had to win. They charged at them and then knocked them out.

"Sakura and Pichu are out. This game winner is… Pikachu and Guilmon!" The announcer said.

"Hey, Mr. Announcer" Guilmon called to the announcer "what is going on here?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know to be honest" The announcer said "This never happened before."

"First it's Vegeta and Marth and now the rest in group b?" asked Goku.

"But this tournament is insane" Pikachu said "why did they let us, Goku and Link win?"

Mewtwo and Impmon smirked and walked away.

"I don't know" the announcer said.

As everyone got into an uproar of confusion, the warriors went back to the lobby. The warriors who were frozen was in chairs, with their feet in hot water and got very bad colds.

"What is happening to us?" asked DK.

"We don't know" Kakashi said "This never happened before."

"Sakura, are you're ok?" Naruto asked Sakura.

"Achoo. I'm OK, Naruto. But this is too confusing" Sakura said.

"Achoo. I'm so cold" Pichu said.

"Well" Luffy said "the doctor said you'd be fine by tomorrow."

"Luffy, is there something that you, Anna and Young Link like to share with us?" asked Goku.

"Yeah, you guys had been quiet since the first round" Gohan said.

"No" Young Link lied "we don't."

"OK. I thought you might know" Astro Boy said.

"But will this happen again if we faced in the last groups?" Yoh asked.

"I don't know" Roy said "but what's been going on here?"

"If only there was a clue. I never get a chance to attack Guilmon" Veemon snapped.

"Give a break, Veemon!" Vegeta and Sasuke said angrily.

Meanwhile, Pikachu was outside. He was half happy that he and Guilmon won, but confusion on what was going on here. Yoshi took notice of it and she and Kirby walked up to him.

"Pikachu… are you're alright?" asked Yoshi.

"You seemed down" Kirby said "Are you worried about fighting Link and Goku in the finals?"

"Huh? Oh no, it's not that" Pikachu said "it's the causes that happened. First it's Vegeta and Marth and now, Sasuke, Peach, Sakura, Pichu and DK? There must be a clue".

Yoshi then hugged Pikachu from behind. "It will be OK. I promise."

Pikachu nodded and looked in the sky. Kirby just smiled and stood next to them.

"Well done, Guilmon" Agumon said in the garden with Guilmon and Renamon "You made it to the finals. I hope I'll join you."

But Guilmon remained silent.

"Guilmon, what's the matter? Is it what happened just then?" asked Renamon.

"Yeah. That. I got a feeling like there someone trying to make us win" Guilmon said "All I wanted is to fight in a proper tournament."

Renamon nodded "We know, Guilmon. But I'm sure it won't happen again" she said as she hugged him "I wouldn't think of what would happen to you."

Guilmon smiled and so did Agumon. They looked up in the sky.

Meanwhile, Goku and Link met up with Mario and Naruto. They were by the balcony.

"Too confusing these days" Mario said "I'm glad that Peach will be alright. I wouldn't want her to be in danger by any way."

"Yeah we know" Link said "I couldn't bear to think what would happen to Zelda."

Naruto smiled "I know Sakura will be OK. She's strong. But me and Mario will be fighting next. Wish us luck."

Goku smiled and put his hand on his best friend's shoulder "You do great, Naruto. Just do your best."

In the shadows, Bowser, Orochimaru and Ganondorf were listening.

"So Naruto and Mario will be fighting next" Orochimaru said.

"That would be the best time to do what we planned. Phase one will be complete soon. Soon we been going to phase two." Ganondorf said.

"Yes Ganondorf and after we get rid of them in the finals, we will rule this world and the next!" Bowser said loudly.

"Shut up, Bowser! I think that Saiyan and that ninja heard us" Ganondorf whispered. And they quickly ran off because they thought Goku and Naruto heard them talking.

"What is it?" asked Mario.

"I thought I heard a voice" Naruto said.

"And we thought we heard it over there" Goku said.

"Well, we can't let that worry about that now" Link said.

Then the gang went back inside to help their loved ones and their friends, which was a close call for Bowser, Orochimaru and Ganondorf, who were hiding and smirking evilly at the same time.
