(The Arena)
Marth was too busy trying to help Julia take down Musafar that he didn't notice Hwoarang leap into the arena and make a beeline straight for him. The blue-haired man received a strike to the back and was knocked forward a few steps.
Prince Marth turned around and saw a severely ticked-off Hwoarang staring at him.
"What's your problem, man?" Marth asked.
Hwoarang didn't answer. He simply pulled his fist back and lunged forward.
"Hey, Marth! Look out!" Julia cried. She didn't see Howarang.
Looking back, Marth saw Musafar's huge fist flying at him. Acting quickly, Marth dove to the side and avoided the blow.
Howarang, however, did not.
Musafar's fist connected with Hwoarang's body with a loud 'pow', firing the young redhead into Jack.
Marth turned to Julia and politely bowed. "Thanks for the heads-up, Julia."
Julia nodded. "No problem. Now let's continue our little fight with this thing."
On another side of the arena, Samus was trying to go easy on Pai Chan. Pai was unaware that Samus held enough firepower in her suit to take out a small country and the futuristic bounty hunter was trying to make sure that the fight didn't turn unfair.
"Come on, Miss Aran!" Pai said cheerily. "I know you're holding back, so at least show me your full potential!"
"Believe me. You don't want to see." Samus said.
"Oh, come on!" Pai lunged forward and smacked Samus' arm cannon, hoping to do some damage. "What could possibly happen?"
Samus' eyes sprang open behind her visor as she felt an amazing amount of power coming from her cannon. She quickly realized that Pai had accidentally activated her cannon by striking it.
"Oh, crap!" Samus turned around, trying to make it so that whatever this attack was, it wouldn't damage anyone.
Pai's eyes widened when she saw a barrage of missiles fire from Samus' cannon. Now, if they were ordinary missiles, it wouldn't have been much of a problem. But these were unfortunately homing missiles, which quickly filled the arena. While most of the fighters avoided the missiles, there were some that weren't so lucky. Robert received a very painful blow to the leg, Cammy was thrown straight onto Gadget Z and poor Hugo was reduced to bouncing between the rubber ropes and the wall of rockets.
After the barrage ended, Samus turned to face a nervous Pai. "That's what could happen." She replied flatly. "In the future, try not to hit my arm cannon."
Pai quickly nodded.
(Announcer's Booth)
"Boy, folks! It looks like everyone found out the hard way of how many weapons Samus has!" Unknown1 said into his mic.
SSBFreak was about to reply when he heard a ringing coming from his phone. Turning off his mic, SSBFreak picked up the phone.
"SSBFreak here." The young man said into the phone. "…Oh, hey Psymon… What?… Someone's reported a fight in the arcade?… Okay, you go there and see what's up… You're welcome, Psymon, but I have to say that that's the WORST Elvis impression I've ever heard." Before Psymon could continue, SSBFreak hung up.
Unknown1 switched off his mic. "What's up?"
"No biggie. A couple of fighters got into a fight at the arcade. I think it's a couple of punks fighting over the last quarter."
(The Arena)
Hugo groggily got to his feet. He absolutely couldn't believe it. He had done horrible in the ring. Every single time he had gotten to his feet, he got knocked back down one way or another. Even Gadget Z, his own nodal companion, delivered several painful blows, despite the fact that the small robot thought Hugo was Darth Vader.
Deciding to try one more time, Hugo drew his dagger and charged his True Fire Rune.
"Take THIS!" The young boy shouted as he raised his hand into the air.
Before anyone could react, a pillar of fire erupted from the canvas and engulfed several fighters unfortunate enough to be in the way.
Hugo grinned. Finally, things were looking up for him. Now, he could get to work and eliminate somebody.
Hugo took three steps before a slightly-burned Sagat landed at his feet. To Hugo, this was an easy elimination. Hugo slashed with his dagger, hoping to send Sagat out of the arena in an upward arc.
However, he struck nothing but air. Hugo was confused until he saw Sagat kneeling a couple feet away. Hugo quickly realized that Sagat had rolled out of the way. Sagat stood up and looked down at Hugo with a very angry face.
Sagat crouched low, and once he did, Hugo realized that he was in serious trouble.
"Tiger Uppercut!"
Hugo took the attack fully. As Sagat landed safely on the ground, Hugo was sent flying from the arena. When Hugo sailed far enough, he disappeared into a swirling vortex that magically appeared.
The portal opened in another node, depositing Hugo on a cold, concrete surface. The young boy stood up and looked around, seeing that he was in a futuristic city.
Hugo sighed. The first person to be eliminated in the tournament. He was so sure that he could do better than that. Maybe he should have-
*WHUMP!*
Normally, if Antonio Guster ran over something in his F-Zero machine, he would have stopped to see what it was. But since it was the last lap, he was currently winning and Dr. Clash was directly behind him, he almost didn't notice.
(The Arena)
Sagat grinned as he looked around at the stands. A lot of the crowd was cheering for him insanely. Sagat couldn't remember the last time people had cheered for him that much.
"Don't worry, everyone!" SSBFreak's voice came through the speakers. "In ten minutes, he'll appear in our recovery room, where our crack team of all-star doctors, led by Suikoden 3's Dr. Tuta, will restore him to full health!"
Meanwhile, Max Eagle and Cammy White were double-teaming prettyboy Ash Crimson. The white-haired man was quickly regretting attacking Gadget Z from behind when he first entered the arena. Ever since Max Eagle said he didn't approve of the attack, Ash had never gone five seconds without being attacked in one way or another. Currently, Max Eagle was giving him a few hard punches to the stomach. Once Eagle delivered the third punch, Ash ignited his fist and slammed it into the other man's face, knocking him away.
Rubbing his chin, Eagle glared daggers at Ash again. "You'll pay for that, you coward." He said.
Ash smirked. "How?"
SNK's newest prettyboy quickly found out. Cammy delivered a hard kick from behind, knocking Ash to the ground.
As Ash got to his feet, Eagle punched him in the face, knocking him back towards Cammy, who sent Ash out of the ring with a Cannon Spike.
Ash landed in Unreal Championship. The predictable happened.
Like with what happened with Sagat, the screens quickly turned into a giant picture of Cammy on each side of the box.
(Street Fighter Locker Room)
"I don't believe it!" Guile said in astonishment as he looked at the monitor. "The first two elimination's of the night and they both came from our node!"
"This could prove to be a good sign, then." Chun-Li said.
"Mind you, is it really good when our only representatives at the moment are a giant man with no sense of humour and a girl that can't remember anything?" Ken joked.
Guile slapped himself on the forehead. "Hey, T. Hawk? Would you mind?"
"Not at all." The huge Native American said as he pulled his elbow into the air and spiked Ken into the ground.
Rainbow Mika, on the other hand, rubbed her chin. "Hey, guys? Dan's been taking a while." She said. "I think I'll go to the arcade and see what's keeping him."
Everyone nodded as R. Mika left the room to search for Dan.
(The Arena)
Jack cackled as he tossed Hwoarang's cut-up body to another part of the arena. He clashed his claws together and looked around.
"That's one down!" The World Hero laughed. "Now, who to take on next?"
The madman's eye suddenly caught sight of Jubei Yagyu, whom was currently dueling with Robert Garcia. Now that Hugo had been eliminated, the two of them could go back to fighting.
Jack smirked as made a mad dash for the one-eyed samurai in hopes of taking out the other organ of sight.
Unfortunately for Jack, Robert saw him coming. "Don't look now, Jubei, but here comes one of your fans."
Jubei turned, saw Jack coming and turned back to Robert. "Excuse me."
Turning back to Jack, Jubei raised his swords, blocking the madman's claws. Then, with one hand, Jubei grabbed Jack by the collar and threw him from the arena. He then turned back to Robert. "Now, where were we?"
Jack landed roughly in a dark cave. It took a while to adjust his eyes to the darkness, but once he did, he saw a big, toothy mouth staring at him as he got to his feet.
Jack smirked and clashed his claws together.
(Announcer's Booth)
SSBFreak flipped on his mic. "Well folks, it looks like Jack has come face to face with Baraka of Mortal Kombat!"
Unknown1 looked at Baraka on the screen and shuddered. "You call THAT a face?"
"This is interesting, ladies and gentlemen!" SSBFreak continued. "Within the course of a few minutes, three people have already been eliminated, but judging by the cuts and scratches on Hwoarang, Jack is the only one to actually do a significant amount of damage before getting eliminated!"
Unknown1 watched to fight in the Mortal Kombat node with wide eyes. "Man! Jack is making Baraka CRY!"
(The Arena)
The fight between Pai Chan and Samus Aran continued. Pai was trying her hardest to avoid hitting Samus' arm cannon, as she didn't want another disaster to happen. Currently, it was pretty much a stalemate, but neither woman was showing signs of slowing down.
Samus stopped fighting to take a breather. "You're a pretty good fighter."
Pai smirked. "Thank you! If you think I'M good, wait till you see Akira or Wolf in the ring!"
Suddenly, Samus saw something that made her eyes widen. "Look out!"
Pai quickly turned and held up her hand. Hwoarang's fist struck it, delivering no damage whatsoever. Pai quickly gripped Hwoarang's fist tightly, making the redhead wince in pain.
Now, normally, Hwoarang could have taken Pai on and won easily, but after the beating Jack had just given him, Hwoarang just didn't feel at the top of his game.
"That wasn't very nice, you know." Pai said calmly, yet darkly. Hwoarang didn't have time to answer. Pai delivered three hard strikes to his face.
Samus watched, impressed, as Pai continued to strike Hwoarang, forcing him back towards the ropes. With one final blow, harder than any others before it, Pai sent Hwoarang straight out of the arena. Pai took a well-deserved ovation.
Hwoarang landed in Banjo-Tooie, where he spent the next ten minutes staring at Mr. Patch, the inflatable dinosaur, with a confused expression.
(Hotel; Arcade)
The Scorpion flew into the wall for what seemed like the fifth time. Despite that fact that Dan didn't look like a good fighter, he was definitely noteworthy.
The green supervillain growled and peeled himself from the wall. Crouching low, the Scorpion lashed out his tail at the pink-clad man, intending to crush him.
Dan showed a rare case of awareness and saw the attack coming a mile away. Sidestepping the tail, Dan allowed it to strike the ground, becoming stuck. Dan quickly took the opportunity to jump onto the Scorpion's tail and grind along it until reaching the face of the mutant man, delivering a hard kick to his face. The Scorpion staggered back as his tail pulled itself from the ground.
"You'll pay for that!" The Scorpion growled and lunged at Dan.
Dan quickly rolled out of the way and kicked the Scorpion as he passed. Dan got to his feet and did a strange little dance while taunting. "Neener, neener, nee-ner!"
"Why you!" The Scorpion, fueled with anger, rushed at Dan once more.
Dan smirked. This was the opening he had been waiting for.
As the Scorpion rushed at him, Dan pulled his arm back, preparing for his most powerful move.
"Shinkuu…Gadouken!"
Dan's fireball, although it didn't travel very far, nailed the Scorpion with its full power. The Scorpion couldn't take the attack and collapsed, defeated.
Dan stood, victorious against a supervillain for once, and brushed off his gi.
"Dan?"
The pink-clad man turned to see R. Mika staring at him with wide eyes.
"Mika?" Dan asked. He quickly remembered the conversation the Scorpion had with the Rhino. Rushing at Mika, Dan grabbed her wrist and dragged her off.
"W-What's going on?" The female wrestler asked her friend.
"I dunno, Mika." Dan said. "But I can bet that it's something BIG."
(The Arena)
Marth and Julia couldn't believe how hard taking Musafar out could be. Ever since Musafar had stepped into the ring, the two of them had been double-teaming him. As much as they hated to admit it, Musafar was actually a decent fighter. And this was something considering that fact that he came from the Galaxy Fight node, where the only one who had managed to gather any kind of success was Roomi.
Musafar looked down at Marth and Julia and cracked his knuckles.
In another corner of the arena, Galford was merrily fighting Hyo Amano. Poppy followed Galford and constantly barked happily, as if cheering Galford on.
"Why are you fighting me?" Amano asked.
"Because that's what we're supposed to do." Galford replied. "I normally search out villains and try to take them out, but as you can see, I'm a little limited there. The giant man and the small boy in the blue robe used to be evil, but they've changed. I haven't heard enough about that huge robot, though, and don't have enough information on whether he's a villain or not."
Amano blinked. "Uh…"
"So when I don't see a villain in the ring, I always search out a challenge to hone my skills with. So I chose you."
Amano scratched his head this time. "Um…"
"Don't you think that's a good enough reason? Always searching a challenge, yet fighting some serious evil at the same time?"
Amano held his head. "Boy, you sure like to talk a lot."
"Woof!"
"That's right, Poppy!" Galford said. "We've been fighting him long enough!" With one slash, Galford sent Amano out of the ring.
"Oh, great." Jin Chonrei muttered as he dodged a slash from Marrow. "There goes my only ally."
Amano landed in I-Ninja, where he helped the huge-headed main character take down a horde of evil ninjas.
Back in the ring, Chonrei dodged another attack from the insane X-Woman known as Marrow. He realized that if she kept this up, he'd stand no chance.
"HI-YAA!"
A young man clad in a light blue gi flew over Chonrei's head and landed a kick to Marrow's face. Chonrei watched as Conan grabbed Marrow and threw her over to another corner of the arena. He had been hoping to eliminate her, but the throw wasn't quite powerful enough.
"Hey, thanks man." Chonrei said as he got to his feet.
"No problem." Conan smirked. "Anything for a fellow fan of the colour blue."
"I guess we have to fight now. We aren't supposed to have a conversation."
"Unfortunately, you're right."
Back with the fight against Musafar, Marth shook his head too regain his senses. Boy, that robot could sure hit hard.
Looking forward, Marth saw Musafar getting ready to deliver a hard punch to Julia. Because she was standing so close to the edge of the arena, the blow would eliminate her for sure.
Realizing that Julia was too good a fighter to get eliminated this early, Marth got up, ran at her and pushed her out of the way, just in time to receive the hard punch himself. Marth rocketed straight out of the arena.
No one in the bleachers could believe it. Someone from the Galaxy Fight node getting an elimination was shocking enough, but MUSAFAR? It took the audience a full five seconds before they erupted into cheers. Musafar paid next to no attention.
In the meantime, Marth landed in Mario and Luigi: Supersar Saga. It wasn't enough that he didn't have anything to do, but the fact that the person sitting beside him had a sheer tendency to constantly speak Engrish and always seemed to like the phrase "I HAVE FURY!" made things a little more hard to survive.
(Galaxy Fight Locker Room)
Everyone in the locker room was just as shocked as the audience sitting in the bleachers. They all stared at the monitor, wide eyed.
"Did Musafar just…Get an elimination?" Alvan asked.
"Yes…Yes, I believe he did." Rouwe said.
"Maybe this means that we'll get lucky!" Roomi jumped up and down excitedly.
"Maybe so, but I'll leave that for when I enter the ring." G. Done stated.
After everyone got over their shocked state, they started partying.
(The Arena)
Max Eagle and Cammy White continued their alliance and decided to take out their attacks on Marrow, whom had resorted to a cheap trick when she entered.
However, Eagle hadn't counted on Gadget Z interfering.
The small, barrel-shaped robot stared at Eagle with an odd glare before raising his hammer. "THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!" He cried and rushed over.
Eagle quickly recognized the voice and looked in the direction of Gadget Z.
"I'll get you, my pretty! And your little DOG, too!" Gadget Z cackled as he rolled at Eagle.
"Crap! Here he comes again!" And with that, Eagle took off running.
Unfortunately, Eagle had nowhere to run and with Cammy fighting Marrow, he had no help.
Gadget Z, the only robot that could malfunction the instant he was in the arena, charged closer to Eagle and pulled his hammer back.
*SLAM!*
The next thing Eagle felt was a strong blow to the head, knocking him to the ground. Eagle got into a sitting position and rubbed his head, forgetting that Gadget Z was still behind him.
Gadget Z held his hammer like a golf club and lined it up with Eagle's behind.
"FORE!"
*WHACK!*
Now rubbing his behind in pain, Eagle went flying out of the arena.
Gadget Z shook his fist at Eagle as the young man vanished into the vortex. "I am not a number! I am a free man!"
Eagle landed in Serious Sam. Or rather, inside a cave with a pond at the bottom. Eagle fell a long while before hitting the water, and when he did, the three aliens lined up held up unanimous votes of '0.0' and ran off giggling.
(Suikoden Locker Room)
"My! We actually got an elimination!" Chris said in astonishment.
"Yeah, but our main problem is that Gadget Z has gone absolutely berserk." Geddoe sighed. "If he was working properly, maybe Hugo would still be in the arena."
"I sincerely doubt it." Shiba said. "Sure, he's our leader, but the boy has absolutely no common sense! The instant he tried using that True Fire Rune, I knew right away that someone would eliminate him out of revenge."
"Although he is a friend of mine, I am inclined to agree with you on that, Shiba." Sgt. Joe sighed.
"Don't worry, everyone. I can win this tournament single-handedly." Lilly bragged. "I will help us get more elimination's than all of the other nodes combined!" Without turning around, she spoke to her two attendants, whom were supposed to be standing behind her. "Isn't that right, Samus and Reed?"
Silence.
"Samus and Reed?" Lilly asked again.
Lilly turned around, only to see that both Samus and Reed were gone from the locker room.
Borus smirked. "Can't say that I blame them for running off anyway." He whispered to Kathy, whom chuckled.
As Lilly looked around for her attendants, Ace turned to Joker and challenged him in the way we fans of Suikoden have expected him to over this time.
"Race ya to the bar."
"You're on."
With that, Ace and Joker ran from the locker room.
Landis, for once, was silent. The reason was because he was now watching the monitors while waving a tiny flag that read 'Go, Marrow!'.
(Announcer's Booth)
SSBfreak sighed and hung up the phone. He turned to Unknown1. "That was Psymon." He said. "When security entered the arcade, they saw the Scorpion limping away."
"The Scorpion?" Unknown1 said. "I didn't know that he was invited."
"He wasn't."
"…So what do we do?"
"Continue with the tournament for now. If something happens, the security force will call us." SSBFreak explained.
"Good idea." Unknown1 replied as he flipped on his mic. "Look at this, folks! Ever since Hugo was eliminated, Jubei and Robert have been dueling! Let's see which one wins!"
(The Arena)
Jubei slashed at Robert again, and once again, Robert ducked. Like Unknown1 had said, the two of them had been dueling ever since Hugo got tossed. They were proving to each other that the other was a worthy opponent.
Sweat flew from Robert's face as he kicked at Jubei. The one-eyed swordsman quickly parried the blow with one of his swords.
"You're real good, Mr. Yagyu." Robert complimented as he shoved another fireball in the swordsman's direction. "My master would love to fight someone like you sometime."
Jubei held his swords in front of the fireball, canceling it out. "I'll keep that in mind. I find that you are a very worthy opponent, and if your master is any better than you are, I promise that I will enjoy every minute of the battle."
"Thank you. Master Takuma is the best fighter I have ever seen, and he taught me everything he knew." Robert said proudly.
"I can imagine." Jubei replied. "I look forward to seeing him and facing him in battle."
Robert smirked. "If you can manage to stay in the arena, you won't have to wait that long."
"I shall try my hardest to stay in the arena, but that unfortunately means that I have to eliminate you to do so."
"Just try it."
That was all Jubei needed to hear. Without giving Robert a chance to react, Jubei grabbed him and threw him out of the arena and through the vortex.
Robert landed in Sonic Heroes. Or more specifically, the city zone. In fact, he landed on some crates on the other side of a chasm as a cannon.
"Well, I didn't manage to get an elimination, but maybe I can find something to do when I get back to the dome." Robert said to himself.
Suddenly, Robert saw three figures running towards the cannon on the other side of the chasm and hop in. Raising an eyebrow, Robert wondered what the deal was.
Until the cannon fired all three figures at once. One of them was coming straight for him, about to land on him.
Now, if it was the pink hedgehog or the tan rabbit, it wouldn't have been a problem, but for some reason, it just had to be the big…Purple…Cat.
*SPLAT!*
Back in the arena, Pai Chan continued her fight with Samus Aran. She had managed to avoid contact with Samus' arm cannon so far, and was looking like she was winning the fight.
"If this is what the rest of the Virtua Fighters fight like, it looks like everyone will have to keep their guard up." Samus said. "You're the best fighter I've seen outside of the SSB node."
Pai beamed. "Thank you, Miss Aran!"
The two women continued the fight. Samus pulled her arm cannon back and thrust it forward, attempting to strike Pai in the face. The younger girl, however, ducked as the arm cannon struck the air above her head. Before Samus could recover, Pai smacked her in the face a couple of times, followed by a hard kick.
Samus, feeling the full power from the kick, spun in midair several times before landing on the arena surface, landing on her arm cannon. Looking up, she saw Pai standing over her.
"My! It looks like I've finally beaten you!" Pai said cheerfully. "No offense Miss Aran, but I have to eliminate you now."
Samus sighed. She knew that she had been beaten if she wasn't going to use her weapons. "No offense taken."
Samus moved her arm cannon out from underneath her so Pai could grab it and use it to throw her from the arena, but once Samus moved the arm cannon, she felt an amazing amount of energy coming from it.
Before either woman had time to react, a huge ball of white energy fired from Samus' arm cannon and struck Pai with enough force to knock her not only to the other side of the ring, but clear out of the arena with no hope of coming back.
Samus look at her arm cannon with wide eyes. She realized that when she landed on her arm cannon, she activated her Charge Shot. "Uh…Oops?"
Pai landed in Blinx: The Time Sweeper. Let's just say that once Pai figured out how to use the Time Control Crystals, the Tom Tom Gang never stood a chance.
(Dome, Hallways)
R. Mika stared at Dan, wide eyed. "The Scorpion and the Rhino were saying that they were ordered to kidnap somebody?"
Dan nodded and looked around to make sure that they were alone. "I don't know who the victim is, though. Those two never said anything specific."
After dragging Mika out of the hotel and into the dome, Dan had stopped running to tell her everything he had found out.
Dan couldn't believe it. He had actually found out of a plot by some evil villains and everything was now up to him to give the message to other fighters and gain allies.
"What do we do?" Mika asked nervously. She obviously had less experience fighting evil.
"We need to get more help." Dan explained. "And even more help after we enter the arena." He looked his friend in the eyes. "Mika, chances are neither of us are going to win the tournament. We need to use that time in the arena to gather more allies."
Mika nodded. "I understand, Dan. Let's get moving."
"Right." Dan replied as he and Mika ran off.
However, after the two of them had gone, Bridget walked around a corner, whistling a cheerful tune. Slung over his shoulder was a bound, gagged, unconscious Ryoko.
(The Arena)
Chonrei dodged another kick from Conan. The two of them had been at it since Conon had gotten Marrow off of Chonrei's back. The X-Woman had since gone to start a fight with Julia Chang.
The entire section of Generic Dudes in the bleaches were cheering Conan on, hoping that the blue-clad fighter would eliminate Chonrei.
Conan lashed out his fist, striking Chonrei in the chest. As Chonrei staggered back, Conan continued the onslaught, striking the younger fighter with more and more punches.
However, Chonrei managed to spot an opening. As Conan lashed out his foot, Chonrei held up his hands. Conan's foot slammed into Chonrei's palms, stopping the attack.
Seeing his attack getting nullified, Conan realized that this was going to hurt.
Chonrei let go of Conan's foot and slammed his fist into his stomach. Chonrei did this a few more times, forcing Conan towards the ropes. Chonrei finished his opponent off with an incredibly hard blow to the stomach, firing Conan out of the arena.
With Conan eliminated, Chonrei brushed his hands together and ran off to start a fight with Galford, whom was busy trying to ward off Sagat.
Conan landed in Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Almost instantly, a gang of psychotic chickens jumped him.
Meanwhile, Marrow was calmly and easily beating Julia. Julia was quickly thinking that Marrow was a more dangerous opponent than Musafar.
Marrow smirked. "You give up yet?"
Julia's face hardened as she slammed her fist into Marrow's face, knocking the X-Woman away. "No way!" She said. "I'm in this tournament to show everyone what I can do!"
Marrow's face darkened, although she didn't lose the smirk. "Well then, I guess you'll have to do it from outside of the arena." The insane X-Woman drew her bone sword.
Julia tried throwing another punch, but Marrow easily dodged it. Marrow quickly retaliated with a light slash, clipping Julia's shoulder. The young Native cried out in pain as she gripped her shoulder.
Marrow, on the other hand, smirked. "Looks like I win."
Marrow did a high kick, punting Julia out of the arena.
Julia landed in Sunset Riders, where she called Chief Scalpem a disgrace to Indians everywhere and beat him into the ground.
Back in the arena, Marrow turned around. Cammy and Jubei were advancing on her, each of them looking like they wanted to eliminate her. Chonrei had joined Sagat in taking down Galford, although the blonde man was easily holding his own against the two of them. Samus was now using her weaponry to its full potential and tried to take down Musafar on her own. Gadget Z was puttering around the arena, repeatedly singing "Go, go, Power Rangers!".
Marrow drew her bone dagger and was about to go in for the kill when she heard a pair of loud laughs, one booming and one deranged, coming from above the arena. All nine fighters in the arena stopped what they were doing and looked up.
Master Hand and Crazy Hand were about to alter the arena.

Eliminations: Jubei, 2; Sagat, Galford, Marrow, Samus, Cammy, Gadget Z, Musafar, Chonrei and Pai, 1
I just can't believe it: Musafar actually got an elimination. I was half expecting everyone from Galaxy Fight except Roomi to get eliminated almost instantly.
Was the tie too much?: Whenever two or more fighters end up getting a tie, I decide who gets the higher position by the time of his or her draw. The higher position always goes to whoever has the later draw. This sole reason is the only thing that kept Sagat out of the top slot and getting two eliminations. Jubei came out after him.
