(The Arena)
It was almost like Samus Aran was back in the arena. The newest Mystery Fighter, Wile E. Coyote, had an arsenal almost as big as the futuristic bounty hunter herself. Judging by how much dynamite and other various projectiles the brown coyote was throwing at King Lion, no one dared to ask where Wile E. was pulling them from.
And Peach was adding to the villain's problems. King Lion was quickly discovering that the pink princess was incredibly lethal with a frying pan, as Peach's weapon of choice repeatedly slammed against his head. Not only that, but she was very agile, and gracefully avoided every punch he threw.
King Lion growled. "You can't keep doing this forever!" He shouted.
"RAIN-BOW!"
The villain turned and saw a familiar blue-clad female wrestler lunging at him, hip-first. King Lion toppled over and landed on his back, R. Mika once again standing over him.
"The only reason I haven't eliminated you yet is because I need some info from you!" Mika shouted, pointing down at the fallen boxer.
Peach and Wile E. looked at each other with confused expressions. Wile E even added to it by holding up a sign that read '?'.
King Lion's fellow villain Setsuna leaned to the side as a basketball soared past his head. However, the dark assassin seemed to forget that he was now fighting two people at once. Heavy D!'s fist slammed into the side of his head, sending the dark-skinned fighter flying forward and landing on Bao.
"You're going to tell us everything you know about this plot, pal!" Heavy D! shouted. "First you join this plot and then you almost kill one of my best friends! After you tell us, we're going to make sure that you get eliminated in a very painful way!"
Setsuna grunted. "You'll get nothing from me."
Lucky Glauber lifted his hand as a basketball fell into his hand. "Suit yourself, pal."
The orange ball slammed into Setsuna's face, stunning him. This made him an easy target for a Cyclone Break and R.S.D.
"How is it that these two normal fighters are defeating me?" Setsuna thought. "I never should have agreed to be a part of this."
Meanwhile, Joker was in the middle of a duel with Link. Despite the fact that Link didn't have the Master Sword anymore (which, by the way, was still being wielded by Toppo), the Hylian Hero of Time was managing to use the other weapons in his arsenal against the purple-clad mercenary.
Joker smirked and ducked as Link's Biggoron Sword cut through the air above his head. As Link recovered from his own attack, Joker reached into his uniform and pulled out a flask of scotch.
The middle-aged man smirked. "Cheers." He said as he took a quick swig of the drink before putting the bottle back in his uniform. Joker quickly pulled out a match, lit it and blew on the flame.
Link's eyes snapped open when he saw a blast of fire shooting from the match. Link held up his shield, barely managing to block the attack.
Mel, Joker's nodal companion, stared in surprise before looking at her puppet, who shrugged. Mel returned the shrug and went back to attacking Guile.
(Eliminated Seating)
Geddoe and Queen stared at Joker in shock. That last move had taken them completely by surprise.
Queen looked at her leader. "Why the heck didn't Joker use that move when we were fighting Yuber or Luc?"
Geddoe shook his head, not taking his eye off the arena. "Looks like his alcoholic tendencies actually came in handy."
Queen suddenly saw Gadget Z get up and start climbing up the ramp beside the stairs. She quickly knew that the small robot was going to leave the Eliminated Seating, but wasn't sure why.
"Gadget, why are you leaving?" Queen asked. "Don't you want to watch Belle fight when she enters?"
"I must confront Darth Vader because…He is my father." Gadget Z droned as he continued rolling away.
"Uh…Okay. Go on ahead."
Geddoe looked at Queen once Gadget Z left. "What did he say?"
"I don't know."
A little further back, Musafar also saw Gadget Z leaving. The larger robot stood up from his seat and went out of the Eliminated Seating as well.
Rouwe saw this and looked at Alvan. "Where do you suppose Musafar is going?" The old man asked.
Alvan shrugged. "Don't know. Don't care. Him not being here actually takes my mind off the fact that he did BETTER than I did in the arena."
(Announcer's Booth)
Unknown1 sighed as h hung up the phone. "That was the Medical Bay."
"And?" SSBFreak asked.
"Hanma doesn't want to fight anymore."
"What? Why?"
"He says that he's too busy helping fighters recover to think about actually entering the arena."
SSBFreak scratched his head. "But isn't one of the other doctors a Mystery Fighter?"
"Do you realize who you're talking about?" Unknown1 asked with an odd glare.
SSBFreak paused. "Okay. Okay. I withdraw my last question." He replied. "But now what do we do now that we've got an extra slot?"
"Easy." Unknown1 replied. "We comb the audience for another Mystery Fighter."
"Works for me."
(The Arena)
Bao rubbed his head, where a stray energy blast from Hanzo Hattori had struck him. The small boy regained his senses just in time to see one of Larcen's Sai coming at him. Bao threw himself to the floor, but wasn't quick enough as the bladed projectile became stuck in his oversized hat.
The young Psycho Soldier stood up, oblivious to the Sai in his hat. Looking around, Bao ran at the fight Heavy D! and Lucky Glauber were having with Setsuna with hopes of helping them out.
Meanwhile, Heavy D! lashed out his fist, slamming it into Setsuna's face. The dark assassin recoiled an staggered back, giving Lucky time to zoom behind him and spike him to the floor.
"This is starting to become annoying." Setsuna growled. "The only reason you two are still alive is because I'm not familiar with you."
Lucky smirked and drove his fist into Setsuna's stomach. "But you've already fought me outside of the arena. You should know my attacks by now if you're telling the truth."
Setsuna merely growled again, as he couldn't for the life of him come up with a reply to Lucky's crack. He quickly held up his sword and parried a blow from Heavy D!. The dark-skinned assassin looked at Lucky and saw him smirking slyly.
The giant basketball player towered over Setsuna as he dribbled another basketball. "You ready to talk yet, pal?" He asked.
Setsuna's reply was to spit in Lucky's face. However, he didn't exactly have good aim, and his spitball splattered against Lucky's jacket instead of his face.
Lucky's eyes sprang open. "My jacket! Do you realize how much it costs to dry-clean this thing?" He demanded.
Heavy D! looked down at Setsuna, whom was quickly realizing that he did something very stupid. "You're in for it now, man."
In a strange showing of rage, Lucky grabbed his basketball and threw it into Setsuna's face with all his might. The ball bounced off Setsuna's head and landed back into Lucky's open hands.
Lucky raised the orange ball into the air. "HELLBOUND!" He screamed.
However, Setsuna knew how this move went. Lashing out his sword, Setsuna sent a gust of wind at Lucky. As soon as the air struck him, Lucky found himself doing an instant 180 in place, although nothing could stop him from continuing the attack. Lucky slammed the ball into the ground, causing a pillar of light to shoot from the ground.
The attack quickly stopped, but Lucky didn't think he had struck anyone. Imagine his surprise when the first thing he saw was Bao flying headfirst out of the arena.
Setsuna chuckled. "See? I made you eliminate your own nodal companion. Aren't you upset now?"
Lucky shrugged. "On the contrary. Half the people from my node have been wanting to do that for years."
Bao landed in the node of Barney. He fit right in.
On the other side of the arena, Guile was busy fighting Franco Bash, and looked like he was winning.
Franco lashed out his foot, which Guile easily caught. "You're pretty good." The kickboxer commented. "You certainly live up to the reputation I hear you have."
Guile cocked an eyebrow and lashed out a Sonic Boom. "People know about me in Southtown?"
Franco nodded and landed a couple of kicks to Guile's stomach. "Oh, yes. Terry, Joe and Mai told the rest of us about you after that tournament a while back."
"I remember that." Guile replied and lashed out his fist, nailing Franco in the chest. "The Joe fellow is a good kickboxer, but that taunt is simply far too ignorant to be shown in public."
The larger man let out a couple of quick jabs, striking Guile in the face. "Forgive me for changing the subject, but I hear that you have a daughter." Franco said. Guile nodded. "You care for her?"
"She and my wife are all I ever think about outside of my goal of avenging my friend." Guile replied. "Why?"
"I have a son, and he means the world to me." Franco explained. "Once he gets old enough, I want to train him to fight like I do and follow in my footsteps. You planning on doing that with your daughter?"
Guile chuckled. "Amy seems all too eager to start training." He replied. "She wants to become a fighter like me when she gets older, and she's as excited about training as I was at her age."
"Once our children become fighters, we should have a rematch for old time's sake and show them how it was done in our day."
Guile smirked. "Name the time and place in about ten years and you've got a deal."
"Well, let's finish this fight." Franco said. "I'll talk to you again after the tournament finishes."
"Sounds like a plan."
Franco rushed at Guile and lashed out his foot. Guile quickly swerved to the side and allowed the giant man's foot to pass by. Guile quickly lashed out with a strong kick on his own, sending his foot into Franco's stomach.
As Franco recoiled back, Guile pulled his foot back and performed his trademark somersault super move. The two small somersaults sent Franco into the air, but it was the third one that finished the job, sending the giant kickboxer out of the ring.
The two ninjas Hanzo Hattori and Kagemaru were dueling to see which was better. Hanzo definitely had the advantage with his sword and the fact that he didn't have any fatigue weighing him down, but Kage was proving to be no pushover.
Hanzo lashed out with his katana, but Kage swerved to the side, avoiding the blow. As quickly as he could, Kage thrust out his fist, catching Hanzo in the stomach. The black-clad ninja recoiled back, giving Kage enough time to shove his foot into his chest.
Hanzo shook off the effects of Kage's kick and stared at the blue-clad ninja. "You're a lot better since the last time we fought." He complimented.
Kage placed his fist into his palm and politely bowed. "Thank you, Hanzo. I have been training in hand-to-hand combat since the last time we met. I can now perform stealthy attacks like a normal ninja can."
The black-clad man smirked behind his mask. "Really? Can you do this?" Hanzo vanished into thin air, leaving nothing but a log.
Kage quickly spun in place and shot his foot forward, striking Hanzo in the stomach as he appeared. "Yes. And I also know where that trick takes ninjas."
As the audience watched in amazement, Kage leapt into the air and flipped overtop of Hanzo as the black-garbed ninja lashed at him with his katana. While in midair, Kage slammed both feet into Hanzo's back, making him stagger forward.
Hanzo turned and gripped his sword with both hands. "It's time I finished this, Kage. No offense." He said calmly.
"On the contrary." Kage replied with a smirk. "I should be the one saying that."
The reply Kage got was Hanzo rushing at him at lightning speeds, getting ready to attack with his sword. Kage was prepared, however, and quickly jumped to the side, driving his fist into the back of Hanzo's head as he passed by.
After recovering from the blow, Hanzo turned in place and stared at Kage.
Kage wasn't stupid, and knew what Hanzo was going to do next. As quickly as he could, Kage grabbed Hanzo's teleportation log and dropped it down one of the gaps creating the star-shaped arena. As soon as Kage released the log, Hanzo vanished.
Naturally, when Hanzo appeared again, he traded places with the log, but the log was falling towards the elimination vortex at the time. As the log appeared back on the arena canvas, Hanzo fell through the portal.
Hanzo landed in Sonic CD. He looked around and sighed. "Well, I guess it wasn't meant to be." He said. "I guess I should try and find a way out of here."
With that, Hanzo stood up and ran off. Unfortunately, he was travelling at 'stealthy-ninja' speeds, and the instant he hit the checkpoint, he vanished.
(Eliminated Seating)
Sonic, sitting in his seat, suddenly sneezed. Everyone looked at him strangely for a few seconds before returning to watching the arena.
(Mushroom Kingdom)
Koopas were running around and screaming, yelling at the top of their lungs that 'the plumber' was back in fear. The Koopa leader, a young-looking Koopling with rainbow hair, looking around in anger at his troops.
"What's the problem with you morons?" Lemmy Koopa shouted.
A Parakoopa flew past him. "It's Mario! He's back and he's going to kill us all!"
Lemmy looked through the crowd of terrified Koopas and saw a confused Franco Bash looking around.
The young Koopa rolled up imaginary sleeves and walked forward. "So, you beefed up a little, eh Mario?" Lemmy asked. "Well, let's see how good you feel in thirty seconds."
A minute later and Lemmy was being carted away by his own troops. Franco scratched his head and walked away to find some pasta.
(The Arena)
Another white vegetable bounced off of King Lion's head as he found himself being lifted off the ground again, R. Mika preparing to slam him into the canvas. Peach, the one that had thrown the vegetable, reached to the ground and magically pulled another one from the canvas. King Lion didn't have time to wonder how Peach was able to do that, because as soon as Mika slammed him into the ground, he noticed another of Wile E's explosives sitting next to him. The resulting explosion sent King Lion rolling aside as the brown coyote lit another stick of dynamite.
"I'm REALLY starting to hate being a bad guy." King Lion muttered. He then looked around at his three attackers. "Look! Why are you doing this to me?"
"You know why, you jerk!" Mika shouted. "I want info, and I want it now!"
"Info?" Peach asked. "For what?"
Mika looked at Peach and Wile E. and pointed down at King Lion. "This bozo is in on a plot being brewed!" She accused. "Dan and I know that it's got several of the villains in on the plot, and it involves kidnapping several targets, but that's all we know."
Peach gasped as Wile E. narrowed his eyes at King Lion. "A kidnapping plot?" Peach asked. "How horrid!"
Wile E. quickly held up a sign that read 'You're goin' down, buddy!'. Once Peach overcame her shock she also narrowed her eyes and pulled out her frying pan.
Mika cracked her knuckles. "Okay, pal! What do you know?" She demanded. "Now that these two know, you're severely outnumbered!"
King Lion snarled. "You won't get anything out of me!"
The female wrestler narrowed her eyes. "So be it." She looked over at Peach and Wile E, both of whom nodded slowly.
Mika grabbed King Lion and wrapped her arms around his waist. The blue-clad girl then started flipping herself end-over-end, repeatedly suplexing King Lion into the canvas. Quickly letting go, Mika ran off towards the nearest turnbuckle, allowing Wile E. to start attacking.
Wile E. hauled King Lion to his feet and drove a furry knee into his face. Pulling out a small box, Wile E. held it up to King Lion's face. The instant King Lion looked at the box, a huge glove shot from it and socked him in the cheek, knocking him over to Peach, who slammed her frying pan into the side of his head.
"RAIN-BOW!"
Peach looked up and stepped aside. Almost right after the pink princess stepped out of the way, R. Mika landed directly on top of King Lion, having leapt from one of the turnbuckles.
Standing aside and watching as Mika started punching King Lion in the face, Peach decided to pluck another vegetable from the ground. Grasping a handful on the tarp, Peach pulled, yanking the vegetable from the ground.
Except that, this time, it wasn't a vegetable. In her hands was a ticking bomb with eyes and feet.
Peach shrieked and looked at her newfound friends. "Look out!" She screamed just before throwing the Bomb-Omb.
Mika and Wile E. looked in time to see the bright-eyed explosive flying at them. Scrambling away, the two left King Lion on the mat, dazed.
*KA-BOOM!*
King Lion flew so far out of the arena that he went headfirst into the forcefield protecting the stands. King Lion fell straight down, into the elimination vortex.
If King Lion had been awake, he would he found himself in Tekken 2. Unfortunately, he had landed beside the motionless, young body of Kazuya Mishima just as a certain volcano was about to blow.
(Diamond City; Streets)
"HEINZAN!" Chang Koehan roared, kicking Lee Chaolan in the chest with all his might. The silver-haired man was sent flying high into the air before landing on his back.
Lee slowly got to his feet and looked at Chang, deciding to try and use Chang's supposed stupidity against him. "Look. I don't know why you're attacking me, but I'm not really in the mood. First, I get chased into the arena by a female wrestler. Then, the same wrestler pounds the tar out of me and throws me from the arena. Now, I'm driving along here, waiting to appear back at the dome, when you come in and start beating me up."
Chang furiously pointed at Mona, whom was still sitting on her own scooter. "You don't know why 'The Koehan' is fighting you, scum? You were carting this poor woman off to get ransom money! That is enough for someone like 'The Koehan' to get furious at!"
Lee sighed. It seemed that whatever happened to Chang, it had increased his intelligence to normal level as well as turn him into a deranged superhero.
"Look, can't we discuss this like gentlemen?" Lee asked, slowly backing away from the giant mountain of man.
"'The Koehan' never reasons with criminals as bad as you!" Chang bellowed. "Prepare for a massive beating!"
"Give him an extra one for me, mister!" Mona shouted. She had worked the cloth off her mouth shortly after the two men had started fighting and was now cheering Chang on.
Chang looked back and flashed a grin. "Of course, citizen."
Lee quickly took advantage of Chang's distraction by lunging ahead and snapping his foot like a whip. However, Chang saw this coming and raised his wrecking ball. Lee's foot struck the ball of iron, causing all of his toes to erupt in pain. Lee hopped around on his uninjured foot, grasping his other foot in pain.
It was now Chang's turn to take advantage of the situation. Lashing out his wrecking ball, Chang struck Lee's free leg, knocking the prettyboy to the ground. As soon as Lee hit the ground, Chang kicked him in the side, sending him rolling along the ground.
Lee jumped to his feet and narrowed his eyes. "I've experienced enough humiliations today already!" He shouted in anger. "I'm not going to lose to a fat oaf like you!"
Chang said nothing. He simply got into a Tae Kwon Do stance and motioned for Lee to come forward. Lee took this as a challenge and ran at the giant superhero. However, before Lee even got close, Chang thrust his foot out and slammed it into the silver-haired man's face three insanely quick times.
As Chang grabbed hold of his shirt and tossed him into the air, Lee wondered how he could lose so many consecutive battles so easily.
Chang pulled his wrecking ball back and waited until Lee had gotten into his line of sight. As soon as Lee was, Chang swung his weapon like a baseball bat, striking Lee with an amazingly-painful strike. Lee was sent flying back until his shoulders collided with the scooter he had hijacked.
Mona quickly slammed her bound feet into the back of Lee's head, knocking him out and putting him out of his misery.
Chang grinned victoriously as he walked over to Mona and started untying her. "That scum didn't hurt you, did he, ma'am?" He asked politely.
Mona shook her head. "No. I was just scared that Wario would actually have to pay him to let me go. I just can't believe that this tournament actually invites jerks like him to participate."
Chang sighed as he freed Mona's arms and started working on her legs. "It was necessary for the villains to be invited with the heroes." He replied.
Just as Chang freed Mona completely and helped her off the scooter, Lee's motionless body suddenly vanished from sight.
Mona's eyes went wide. "What the heck happened?" She asked. "He was there a second ago!"
"Rules of the tournament say that no fighter can stay in their elimination node for more than ten minutes." Chang explained. "Now that he has vanished, it will only be a mater of time before 'The Koehan' returns to the dome as well."
"Wait!" Mona said. "Just to let you know, I wanted to say thanks for rescuing me. You're welcome in my diner anytime."
Chang grinned. "I appreciate the gesture, ma'am."
"You needn't cal me that, mister." Mona said. "My name's Mona. What's yours?"
Chang pondered this for a second and couldn't really see any harm in telling one person. "Chang Koehan." He said just before he vanished into thin air, leaving Mona alone.
Mona pondered for a couple seconds. "Chang Koehan." She repeated as a smile appeared on her face. "I'll have to watch the tournament next year and see how he does."
(The Arena)
Dribbling his basketball, Lucky Glauber ran at Setsuna and leapt into the air, firing the orange projectile into the assassin's face with full force. Setsuna grabbed his face and staggered back, looking at his two opponents.
While Lucky looked almost untouched save a few cuts in his outfit, the fatigue was really starting to show for Heavy D!. Bruises on his face, broken shades and tears all over his outfit, D! was looking like he could be eliminated with only a few more attacks.
Deciding to go for the weaker one first, Setsuna readied his sword and charged at Heavy D!.
D! smirked. "I think not." He said as he slammed his palm into the ground, performing a Soul Flower. The quick and small pillar of energy surrounded the black boxer, protecting him from harm. Setsuna ran straight into the pillar, making him fly several feet in the air before landing on his back.
Lucky quickly took advantage of the effect of his friend's attack and hurled his basketball at the assassin, aiming once again for his head.
Unfortunately, Setsuna saw the ball coming at him. Leaping to his feet, Setsuna lashed out his sword and sliced the orange ball perfectly in half.
Smiling in satisfaction, Setsuna looked at Lucky. "HA!"
Lucky smirked as he raised his arm. Another basketball fell from the sky and into his palm. "Ha, yourself."
*SMACK!*
Rubbing his face, Setsuna looked at Lucky in anger. "WHERE THE FREAKING HECK DO THOSE CURSED THINGS COME FROM?" He screamed.
Lucky's smirk got a little bit bigger. "That's my little secret."
"Yeah, man." D! shrugged. "I'm his best friend and even I don't know where he gets them from."
Setsuna roared and charged again, this time aiming for Lucky. The tall basketball player quickly threw his basketball, taking out Setsuna's legs from under him. However, before Setsuna could hit the ground, Lucky threw himself forward.
"LUCKY DRIVER!" Lucky screamed as he leapt onto his hands and propelled himself into the air, spinning and kicking wildly. Setsuna got struck with Lucky's first kick and was lifted off the ground as well.
As soon as Lucky finished attacking, Setsuna dropped from the sky. Now, if the arena would have still been a square, it wouldn't have mattered, but because the arena was in the shape on a star, Setsuna fell through one of the gaps and into the elimination portal.
Setsuna was one of the more fortunate villains. He landed in a dojo in Ninja Gaiden. Seeing that the dojo was empty, Setsuna sighed and sat down.
Back in the arena, the two giant members of the USA Sports Team high-fived. "That was an awesome elimination, Lucky!" D! laughed. "Did you see the look on that guy's face?"
"Yeah! I'm betting that he'll think twice before messing with us again!" Lucky added.
D! sighed as he turned serious. "But that doesn't help us with this plot we're up against."
"Excuse me?"
The two friends turned around and saw Rainbow Mika running over, a look of surprise on her face.
"Did I just hear that right?" Mika asked. "You two have heard about this plot as well?"
"You too?" Lucky asked.
Mika nodded. "Yeah, Dan Hibiki found out about this plot back in section one! In fact, one of our allies, Reed, has already entered the arena."
D! lifted his eyebrows. "Reed? That blonde soldier with the anime haircut from the Suikoden node? I entered the same section as he did and he didn't tell me about this?"
Mika shrugged. "He managed to get us a few more allies before getting eliminated. I guess he just didn't think you were trying to stop the plot as well."
"Well, it's great to know that we're not alone in this." D! said. "I guess this means that we have more allies than we thought."
Mika nodded. "Yes. It's a little more reassuring now that I know our numbers have grown." She paused. "Someone needs to get out there and find Dan to tell him about this."
D! looked at Lucky. "What about Ryoko and Bridget?"
"Ryoko enters the arena in a couple of sections." Lucky replied. "If I'm still in the arena, maybe I can tell her then. Bridget I'm not worried about. He'll come searching for someone."
D! nodded. "Okay. I'll go out, then."
"Why you?" Mika asked.
"I've been in the arena longest." Heavy D! replied. "I don't think I'll be of much help for when Bison enters in the next section."
"Hey, you're right!" Lucky replied. "I bet Bison's in on the plot as well!"
"Okay." D! looked at Mika. "You send me out, Mika. People might get suspicious if Lucky eliminates me."
"Okay. Hold still." Mika directed as she backed up.
"RAIN-BOW!" Mika screamed as she flew forward, hip first. She slammed into D!'s chest, knocking him over the edge of the arena, making him fall down one of the gaps.
D! landed in a dojo. Suddenly, he saw Setsuna sitting down a little bit away from him. The boxer smirked. "Well, look who it is."
Setsuna's eyes snapped open as he looked over his shoulder, at Heavy D!.
"I guess I can continue the interrogation considering the fact there's no one else here." D! said.
For the first time in his miserable life, Setsuna was terrified.
In the arena, G. Done and Toppo were double-teaming Larcen Tyler in hopes of eliminating the slightly-fatigued Mystery Fighter. Although he looked like he was losing the battle, Larcen was definitely showing that he wasn't going down without a fight.
Toppo swung his newfound weapon (the Master Sword, obviously) at the cat burglar, who quickly parried the blow with his grappling hook. Sparks shot from the two metal objects when they collided, but Larcen was he only one prepared. Toppo, taken back from the sparks, closed his eyes from the brightness. He was easy pickings for Larcen to Knee Drive, sending the silent juggler across the arena. This left G. Done to fight Larcen alone.
Larcen smirked as he lifted the brim of his hat above his eyes, granting everyone the privilege of seeing his eyes. "You Galaxy Fighters seem to be the dark horses here." He chuckled. "After that big robot go an elimination, your popularity grew a little."
"Yeah, but that still didn't help us get any more eliminations." G. Done muttered.
Larcen shrugged. "Let's see what you've got. Maybe you can get an elimination off of me."
"Ah, even if I didn't it's still alright. Even with one elimination, we're still ahead of the Last Blade and Kizuna Encounter gangs." G. Done replied.
The two neglected fighters charged. Larcen swung with his grappling hook, which G. Done skillfully dodged and landed a hard punch to the gangster's stomach. As Larcen recoiled, G. Done continued with a pair of high kicks. However, Larcen quickly spotted an opening and thrust his fist out, catching G. Done in the face.
It was G. Done's turn to stagger back, but he quickly snapped out of his daze. Looking at Larcen, G. Done charged again, shoulder first. Larcen ran forward as well, sticking his knee out.
The two fighters collided, but their attacks cancelled each other out. This earned a cheer from the crowd.
Breathing heavily, G. Done backed up, unsure of which direction he was going. Suddenly, after walking for a few feet, he felt himself back into something solid. Quietly feeling behind him, G. Done felt some sort of cloth. He smirked. {Perfect. I've backed into one of the turnbuckles.} He thought as he looked at Larcen, whom was bent over, breathing heavily.
G. Done leapt into the air and kicked what he thought was the turnbuckle with all his might. G. Done pushed himself into the air, sending himself at Larcen.
The announcement caught completely off guard. Rather than attack Larcen, he collided with him, sending them both to the ground. G. Done looked around, wondering why he was just credited for an elimination.
Kagemaru landed on the roof of a car in Ridge Racer. He sat up and wondered how G. Done possibly could have known he was sneaking up behind him.
(Hotel; Sagat's Room)
Bruce Irvin leapt into the air and arched over M. Bison as the dictator flew past in a Psycho Crusher. The black Thai fighter landed gracefully on his feet as Bison flew into the wall.
After striking the wall, Bison spun around in midair and snarled at Bruce. "You're beginning to become an annoyance, my friend." He growled. "You shouldn't have interfered in the first place."
"And watch as you brainwash Sagat?" Bruce asked as he ran at Bison and landed three hard kicks to the madman's chest. "No way in heck!"
"Fool!" Bison shouted as he held his arms up, blocking Bruce's fourth kick. "Do you really think you can defeat me when not even Geese Howard could?"
"That I don't know." Bruce muttered as he took Bison's legs out from under him. "But I intend to stall long enough for Sagat to get help!"
Bison growled as he jumped to his feet. Doing his trademark forward flip, Bison slammed both of his heels into Bruce's forehead. The Thai fighter staggered back, holding his injured forehead. Taking a couple of steps, Bruce shook his head several times to clear his head, then narrowed his eyes at Bison. "You're really asking for it!" He shouted.
Bruce charged forward at Bison. Leaping onto an end-table, Bruce threw himself into the air and stuck his foot out. Bison was unable to block the attack in time and received a flying kick to the nose.
Unfortunately, this attack didn't faze Bison very much. As soon as Bruce landed the kick, Bison flew forward in another Psycho Crusher. Bruce was completely unprepared and was thrown into a wall.
Bruce slowly got to his feet, ignoring the numbing pain coming from his back. He was determined to give Sagat time, even if he almost died doing it. And judging by the way Bison was fighting it looked like that option was definitely possible.
Sweat rolled down Bruce's face as he held up his knee, blocking a punch from Bison. "This guy is tougher than anyone I've seen in the ring." The Thai fighter thought. "If I wanna survive I need to make sure I'm on the top of my game here."
Bison grunted as Bruce slammed his knee into his face. "If you were on the right side, you wold be a valuable ally to my organization."
"Not interested." Bruce replied, unknowingly using Sagat's earlier words exactly. "I was on the wrong side once before. I don't intend to make it twice."
"A stubborn little gnat, I see." Bison said. "It looks like I'll have to finish this my way."
Breaking away from Bruce, Bison hovered mere inches off the floor and floated backwards several feet. As soon as he was back far enough, Bison lunged forward.
"ULTIMATE PSYCHO CRUSHER!"
Bruce's eyes snapped open. "CRAP!" He shouted as he raised his knee and held his arms in front of himself.
Flying through the air, Bison smirked evilly. The Ultimate Psycho Crusher was impossible to jump over, a real pain to block, and could only be parried with another super move, which Bruce was lacking in that category.
Bison slammed his fists into Bruce's stomach with a sickening crunch, sending the Thai fighter flying headfirst into the wall, finally knocking him out.
It was over. Bruce had lost.
Bison walked over to Bruce's motionless body and smirked. "I could use him on my side here." He thought aloud. "I'll just influence him a little, just like I did with Howard."
Bison placed his hand on Bruce's forehead, warping his mind almost instantly. Sagat had gotten away, but Bison realized that this Thai fighter would do perfectly.
(The Arena)
Toppo slowly got to his feet and shook his head. Looking ahead, he saw G. Done still fighting Larcen. Gripping the Master Sword with both hands, Toppo was about to rush back to help the Galaxy Fighter again.
Meanwhile, Link was still fighting Joker, and was surprised at how an unarmed fighter was so able to keep up with him. Mind you, Link would have made the battle go in his favour if he still had the Master Sword.
Suddenly, Link spotted something out of the corner of his eye as Joker slammed his fists into his shield. He noticed Toppo slowly getting to his feet, then look off in the direction of G. Done and Larcen. But what caught Link's attention the most is what Toppo was holding: The Master Sword.
Link's eyes snapped open. "The Master Sword!" The Hylian hero thought. "He's got the Master Sword!"
Pushing the Hylian Shield ahead, knocking Joker away. Once the mercenary was away from him, Link turned around and ran at Toppo.
"Hey, you!" Link shouted. "The one with the long nose!"
Toppo narrowed his eyes at the mention of his nose and spun around, swinging the sword at the same time. Link barely had enough time to duck before his own weapon sailed over his head.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Link shouted. "I'm not here to fight!"
"Yeah, right!" Toppo thought. "This guy's from the same node as that Falco creep that eliminated Nei. Elf-boy here's probably just out for revenge."
Toppo silently swung the Master Sword again as Link jumped back to avoid being slashed.
"This guy doesn't seem to want to listen." Link muttered. "Looks like I'll have to fight to get the Master Sword back."
Link pulled out the Biggoron Sword and swung it at Toppo. The silent juggler quickly held up the Master Sword, blocking the blow. Link had the advantage here. Not only was he more experienced in swordfighting, but the Hylian was wielding the larger, more-powerful sword. Link pushed forward, breaking Toppo away from him.
Toppo staggered back, but didn't release his grip on the Master Sword. The juggler glared daggers at the Hero of Time, reached for his belt and ripped a juggling ball from it. Toppo hurled the rubber ball at Link with all his might, then ran after it himself, readying the Master Sword for attack.
Not expecting Toppo to throw the ball, Link was taken completely off guard. The rubber projectile bounced off Link's forehead, stunning him for a couple of seconds. Toppo ran at him and swung the Master Sword, but Link snapped out of his daze in time to see it coming. Link leapt over the blade of steel and swung the Biggoron Sword with all his might.
Unfortunately for him, Toppo saw the attack coming. Leaning to the side, Toppo allowed Link's attack to miss him completely, leaving the Hylian completely open for attack. Pulling his fist back, Toppo thrust it into the side of Link's head, knocking him back. Another couple of punches and Link fell through one of the gaps in the star-shaped arena.
Link landed in Mace: The Dark Ages. He sighed and sat down.
"Man. I don't believe this!" Link said to himself. "The Master Sword was RIGHT THERE! Zelda's going to KILL me when I get back to the dome!"
Suddenly, Link heard a growl coming from behind. Turning around, Link saw Grendal approaching. Lnk sighed as smashed the giant beast over the head with the Megaton Hammer.
(SSB Locker Room)
Everyone instantly looked at Zelda, whom had calmed down once she saw that Link had spotted Toppo with the Master Sword.
The Hylian princess screamed psychotically. "That idiot!"
The rest of the gang felt extremely lucky that Zelda hadn't killed anyone yet, as they had never seen her this mad. Even Bowser was a little scared.
Zelda continued with her rant. "He's lost the Master Sword AGAIN!" She screamed. "Once I get my fingers wrapped around that scrawny neck of his, I'll-"
Mewtwo quietly placed a hand on her shoulder. "Sleep." He said.
"Right." Zelda said as her head slumped forward. Everyone quickly heard snoring coming from the princess, then they all looked at Mewtwo.
"You mean to say that you could do that all along?" Roy shouted. "How come you didn't do that the FIRST time she flipped?"
Mewtwo shrugged. "No one asked."
Everyone else quickly fell over, anime-style.
(The Arena)
Joker stood up and looked around the arena. He didn't know why the heck Link would suddenly send him flying away, but from the looks of things, the Hylian wasn't in the arena anymore. Joker was about to wander off to find another fight when he suddenly felt something tap against his foot. Looking down, the purple-clad mercenary saw a lit stick of dynamite.
Unlike King Lion before him, Joker dove to the side just as the dynamite exploded. Looking in the direction the explosive came from and saw Wile E. Coyote coming over.
"So, you're looking for a fight, huh?" Joker asked.
Wile E. nodded as he held up a sign that read 'I haven't really had anything to do since we tossed King Lion from the arena'.
Joker smirked and raised his palms, getting into his stance. "Okay, you lump of fuzz. Bring it on!" He challenged.
The cartoon character accepted the challenge and ran at Joker, preparing to attack. Just as Wile E. got close enough, Joker pushed forward with his hands, sending them into the coyote's stomach. Wile E. clutched his stomach and backed off a couple of steps, but easily shook the effects of Joker's attack off.
Joker continued, thrusting his fist out. Wile E. easily avoided this blow and retaliated with a punch of his own, slamming his fist into Joker's face. Joker gripped his cheek in pain, but was otherwise unharmed.
The mercenary was thinking that he would be able to overpower Wile E. easily due to the coyote being so lanky and thin, but Joker had forgotten one thing: Wile E. was an avid customer of ACME, and somehow had a huge supply of gadgets on his person. Joker was quickly reminded of this when the brown coyote pulled out a remote from behind his back and pressed the button on it.
Joker suddenly found himself in the middle of a shadow. Looking up, Joker saw a huge safe falling from the sky, coming right towards him. Joker quickly ran to the side as the safe crashed through the canvas, falling through the elimination vortex (where it brought a game of NBA Street to an abrupt end).
Joker glared daggers at Wile E. and secretly charged his Fire Rune. "You're in for it now, pal!"
The response Joker got was Wile E. holding up a sign that read 'How?'.
The mercenary smirked. "Like THIS!"
Everyone watched as Joker pulled his hand into the air and slammed it into the canvas. A wave of fire lifted up from the canvas and flew at Wile E.
Joker stood straight and prepared to throw Wile E. from the arena once the fire wave stopped. Once it did, however, he saw that the coyote was no longer standing there. Looking around, Joker wondered if he had actually eliminated the cartoon character.
Suddenly, a loud whistle was heard from above. Looking up, Joker saw Wile E hovering over the arena with a jetpack, waving down at him.
Joker could do nothing but watch as Wile E. pulled another remote from behind his back and pressed the lone button on it. Then, the brown coyote pointed in the direction behind Joker.
The middle-aged man turned around just in time to see a huge, red rocket shooting at him. Where it had come from, he would never know, but he didn't get the chance to think about it any longer. The tip of the rocket slammed into Joker's stomach and still kept going. The rocket carried Joker straight out of the arena and pushed him into the elimination vortex. Wile E. hovered close to the canvas and shut off his jetpack, landing on the ground.
Joker and the rocket both landed in Sonic Adventure 2. Unfortunately for Joker, the rocket chose that time to explode, turning Green Forest into a flaming inferno.
G. Done slammed his fist into Larcen's stomach, knocking the burglar back a few feet. Larcen quickly recovered and quickly tossed two Sai at the streetfighter. Unfortunately for him, G. Done had amazing agility. Leaping into the air, G. Done arced over the Sai, but the second one found a home in his pant leg, missing his skin by mere inches (the first one slammed into Bryan Fury's back, so no innocents were harmed).
As G. Done landed on the ground, Larcen took the time he had to wipe a drop of blood from his mouth. He wasn't going to let someone from the Galaxy Fight node get the best of him, although he definitely had to admit that he node had brought forth a couple of surprises from getting eliminations.
Larcen looked ahead in time to see G. Done leap into the air and flip around, bringing his foot up to bring it down on the burglar's forehead. Larcen quickly pulled out his grappling hook and spun it in a circle once, slamming it into G. Done just as the amnesic fighter's heel came into contact with his head. Both fighters collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, as the audience went nuts. Although most of the audience was cheering for Larcen, G. Done's popularity had increased since he unknowingly eliminated Kage.
"Sorry, man." G. Done said. "But my node needs the elimination."
Larcen slowly stood up and narrowed his eyes. "I think not."
G. Done advanced on Larcen, preparing to grab him and throw him from the arena. However, the cat burglar was prepared, and whipped his grappling hook at the oncoming fighter. The hook tore across G. Done's chest, ripping a gash in his shirt and drawing a bit of blood.
Larcen suddenly noticed the hole in the canvas that had appeared after Wile E. had dropped the safe towards Joker earlier. Thinking quickly, Larcen stuck his knee out and slid forward, striking G. Done in the face. The streetfighter staggered back, but was far too close to the hole. G. Done toppled over and fell through the hole in the canvas, into elimination.
G. Done landed in Uniracers, just as a race was about to begin. The streetfighter landed directly into the seat of Anti-Uni, the bright white unicycle, just as the race started. The two unicycles took off, unaware of G. Done sitting on top of Anti-Uni, arms flailing.
Larcen stood at the edge of the hole and looked around the audience. He was receiving a loud cheer, but no one cheered as loud as Jetta and RAX. Larcen now had four eliminations, and the Eternal Champions had gained a good amount of popularity. Maybe now they'd all be invited to next year's tournament…
Larcen didn't have any more time to reflect on his victory. Princess Peach (whom Guile had just thrown) suddenly slammed into his back, knocking Larcen down the hole as well.
Peach looked up. "What?" She asked. Looking over her shoulder, Peach looked down the hole and saw Larcen vanishing into the vortex. "Oh. Oops." She said before getting up and running at Guile again.
Larcen also landed in Uniracers, but unfortunately for him, the first lap was just finishing. The blue unicycle barreled him over and continued racing. Larcen was about to stand up when Anti-Uni, G. Done still perched on top, ran him over as well.
(Dome; Hallway)
Jin Chonrei hit the wall, a stinging sensation around his cheek, where his opponent had punched him. Turning around, Chonrei saw Anna Williams swinging her foot at Vivian, whom lowered herself closer to the ground. Anna's foot soared over the Shadow Siren's head, and Vivian quickly grabbed Anna's other leg and pulled it towards her, making Anna lose her balance and land on her back.
Anna quickly jumped to her feet. "You little brat!" The brunette assassin seethed. "You really think you can defeat me? I'm one of the most skilled assassin's in the world!"
Vivian smirked and snapped her fingers, making a small area of the floor just in front of Anna's feet explode. "Then I take it you're slipping, lady." She said with a smirk. "This isn't very difficult."
Anna's eyes flared. "Why you little-"
"I'm coming, Vivian!" Chonrei shouted as he ran at Anna and landed a flying kick to her back. Anna staggered forward and reached for her back in pain, but she walked right into a punch from Vivian, whom had extended the spout connecting her torso to the ground to become eye-level with Anna's face.
Chonrei's eyes narrowed as he ignited his fist with blue flames and lashed out at Anna, slamming his flaming fist into her stomach, but at the price of Anna delivering a powerful and painful karate chop to his neck.
Watching Chonrei collapse to the ground fueled Vivian's anger further. "No one hurts my friends and gets away with it!" She shouted as she lashed her hand out, shooting a ball of fire at the ground.
Anna, seeing the size of the fireball, smirked. "Is that all you got, kid? I say try working on your aim." She asked. "Honesty, I think Dan Hibiki can produce bigger fireballs."
As soon as the fireball touched the ground, Anna's song changed. A stream of fire shot from where the fireball had hit and went straight at Anna. The tall woman didn't have time to dodge and the fire stream slammed into her, knocking her to the ground.
Chonrei jumped to his feet and looked down at Anna. "Okay, lady. You're going to tell us what you know!"
Anna smirked. "What makes you think I would do that?" She taunted. "There's just two of you. Do you really think you can stop this plot by yourselves?"
Vivian sighed. "She's right, Chonrei." The Shadow Siren said. "We're going to need some help."
"Which I'm sure we can find easily." Chonrei replied. "I mean, with everything that's been going on outside of the arena so far, I wouldn't be surprised if there are others trying to stop this plot as well. We just need to find them."
The purple girl pointed down at Anna. "Well, what do we do with her?"
Chonrei slammed his hand down on Anna's forehead, knocking her out. "We'll take her with us while we look for some help. If we manage to find someone, we'll interrogate Miss Williams there."
Vivian nodded. Suddenly, she looking down the hall, alarmed. She grabbed Chonrei and sunk into the ground again, taking him with her.
As soon as the two young-looking fighters had gone into the floor, a screaming Electro ran past, running around the corner. The five security leaders followed, chasing after him. On his way, Knuckles tripped over Anna's unconscious body, but paid no attention as he got to his feet and continued the chase.
(Dome; Recovery Room)
The first thing Lee Chaolan saw when he woke up was Dr. Tuta standing over him, smirking.
"Well, look who finally decided to wake up." Tuta joked.
Lee suddenly remembered his earlier fight and shot up, looking around fearfully. "H-He's not here, is he?" He whimpered.
"Who, Chang?" Hanma asked. "No. As soon as he appeared, he left, mumbling something about defeating evil villains."
Lee sighed in relief as he got out of the bed he was laying in. "Well, I have things to attend to, so if you'll excuse me."
Lee left the medical staff and went out the door. The silver-haired man shut the door behind him and started walking off down the hallway.
About three steps later and Lee received a sharp and painful blow to the neck, knocking him out instantly. Lee collapsed to the ground as his attacker stepped out of the shadows.
"It's time I got some more answers." Andy Bogard muttered. "I'd better take this guy and find Heavy D!…"
(The Arena)
*WHAM!* *WHAM!* *WHAM!* *WHAM!* *WHAM!*
Needless to say, Bryan Fury wasn't feeling so hot anymore. King was still feeling angry about the cyber-zombie trying to win her over when he entered the arena, and she was currently giving Bryan the biggest beating of his undead life. King knew that Ryo would be ten times as angry as well, and she decided to give the cyber-zombie Ryo's fury as well.
Bryan felt King slam her foot into his face, knocking him back a few steps. King quickly added to Bryan's injuries with two Trap Shots. Leaping into the air, King landed a hard blow to Bryan's chest.
King lashed out her foot, but unfortunately for her, Bryan snapped out of his daze in time to see it coming. Bryan held up his hands and caught King's leg before it struck him. Everyone in the audience watched as Bryan flipped King into the air and watched as she landed on her back.
Bryan stepped over to King and looked down at her, smirking. "Not so tough now, are ya, cutie?" He asked as he raised his foot, preparing to slam it down onto her head.
The Thai fighter quickly rolled to the side as Bryan's foot slammed into the canvas. Rolling onto her back, King thrust her foot out, slamming it into Bryan's chest again. As the cyber-zombie staggered back, King sprung to her feet.
King took advantage of Bryan's stunned state and ran at him again. The female fighter leapt into the air and slammed her foot against Bryan's face in a flying kick, making the ex-cop back towards the ropes around the arena.
If Bryan had all of his senses in order, he would have seen King run around him. But because he didn't, it was all too late until he realized that King grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder, over the ropes.
Bryan landed in the node of The Terminator. The metal monster quickly riddled Bryan's body with bullets, but we all know that doing that to Bryan is a very stupid idea.
When the game's hero entered the room two minutes later, all he saw was the metal machine laying on the ground in about fifty-seven pieces.
Back in the arena, Mel had just finished another one of Branky's punishments, and that was repeatedly slamming the wolf-puppet against one of the turnbuckles.
Mel lifted Branky up to her face and glared at her. "Okay, Branky. Are you ready to behave now?"
The puppet quickly nodded. "Yes! Yes! Just don't hit me against that thing again!" Branky begged. "That hurts worse that the wall of the Inn back in Iksay!"
Mel nodded as she turned around to start another fight. She suddenly saw Wile E. Coyote standing several feet away, scratching his head, looking at her with a confused expression.
"What's the matter?" Mel asked curiously. "You've never seen a puppet before?"
Wile E. lifted his finger into the air and opened his mouth to start his reply when Mel interrupted him. "Well, since you don't seem to be doing anything, how about a battle?"
The brown coyote pondered this for a few seconds, then nodded.
Mel beamed. "Great!" The blue-clad girl shoved Branky out, causing another stream of fire to spew from the puppet's mouth.
Seeing the beam of fire coming at him, Wile E.'s eyes bugged out, then he held up a sign that read 'Yipe!'.
Mel watched as the fire finally died down, and once it did, she was expecting to see Wile E. defeated. But what she saw instead was Wile E., almost completely black, staggering in place. Mel's eyes widened. "How did you take that and remain standing?" She asked.
Wile E. held up yet another sign. This one read 'That happens to me at least once in every cartoon I'm in. I've gotten used to it by now.'. After putting the sign away, Wile E. shook himself repeatedly, shaking all of the soot off of his fur, turning him back into his natural brown colour again.
The brown coyote quickly ran at Mel and drove his knee into her face.
"You furry punk!" Branky shouted. "You can't hurt Mel like that!"
Branky slammed her head into Wile E.'s forehead, knocking the cartoon character back a couple of steps. Mel quickly came back to her senses and ran at Wile E., slamming her foot into his stomach.
Wile E. stood straight and looked down at Mel with an angered glare. Mel suddenly realized that Wile E. was at least two feet taller than she was.
Deciding to finish the fight, Wile E. pushed Mel away from him.
Mel staggered back a couple of steps, but was otherwise unharmed. She looked at Branky and laughed. "That was an attack?" She chuckled. "It looks like we actually have this one easy!"
"Yeah!" Branky agreed. "Let's get him!"
Mel turned to Wile E. to attempt to throw him from the arena but stopped when she saw him with a large dynamite box, getting ready to push down on the plunger. Girl and puppet followed the wire with their eyes until they saw a trio of dynamite sticks by Mel's feet.
Mel and Branky looked at each other. "How the heck did he do that?" Branky asked.
Wile E. quickly jammed down on the dynamite box, causing a spark to travel along the wires connected to it. As soon as the spark touched the dynamite, the explosives went up, sending Mel and Branky spiraling out of the arena.
Mel landed in Rocky Rodent. Pecky, mistaking her for an enemy, started pecking at Mel's head.
Toppo had turned just in time to see Mel, his nodal companion, get ejected from the arena. His eyes narrowed at Wile E., the silent juggler started walking forward, Master Sword in hand.
Until he heard the sound of knuckles being cracked. Looking over his shoulder, Toppo saw Rainbow Mika coming over, obviously looking for a fight. Toppo sighed and turned, Master Sword ready to attack.
"I'm surprised that you've actually managed to get two eliminations." Mika said. "But the hands won't go into the next section unless there's a specific amount of people in the arena. One more person needs to go before we can start the next wave."
Toppo narrowed his eyes and nodded before charging at Mika, pulling his newfound weapon back.
Mika, seeing Toppo coming, sprung onto her hands and catapulted herself into the air just as Toppo swung at her with the Master Sword. Mika sailed overtop of the legendary blade and slammed her feet into Toppo's face. Toppo staggered back, clutching his nose, but quickly recovered and ran at Mika again as she touched the canvas.
The female wrestler looked at Toppo in time to see a juggling ball coming at her head. Ducking, Mika avoided the rubber projectile, only to watch as Toppo threw another one. Mika ran at the juggler, avoiding all the juggling balls that were thrown at her.
Mika dove at Toppo and tackled him, knocking him to the ground. Mika quickly punched Toppo several times in the face before standing up and grabbing his legs. The blue-clad wrestler lifted Toppo into the air and slammed him into the canvas three times in a row
Landing on his back, Toppo looked up and saw Mika standing over him, smirking. "Looks like I win."
Toppo narrowed his eyes again and gripped the Master Sword tighter. Jabbing the weapon forward, Toppo intended to knock Mika off of him, but instead watched as Mika dodged the blade of steel.
Before Toppo had time to react, Mika had already grabbed him and threw him over the ropes with no hope of returning.
Toppo landed in the node of My Street, where he entertained the kids by juggling five balls while whistling the Mario Bros. Theme.
In the arena, Mika stood straight and turned around to look at who else was in the arena. King looked the worst, her hair messed up and several rips in her outfit. The others weren't looking too bad. Guile was working the muscles in his arms and popping his neck. Lucky Glauber was jumping in place, his mind focused on the opponents. Wile E. Coyote was holding an unlit stick of dynamite in his hand and Princess Peach was looking between Guile and Lucky, trying to determine which one was more dangerous.
Suddenly, everyone heard the two hands floating above the arena starting to laugh, signaling yet another arena alteration.
