Note: Really sorry for the long wait. Stuffs been going on and I have found myself in a position where I'm not as into writing as I used to be. I think a lot of it has to do with me trying to find inspiration and trying to think of new and interesting ideas for my stories. Maybe I should lay off a little bit.. oh well. I'll try to at least get a story done before the end of this year. Super Saiyan Crash owns his version of Crash and I own nothing, but my OCs.

Episode XVII: The Brawl Tournament

James is waking up in a dark room all tied up.

"Wha.. what's going on here?" James asked.

He then heard a lighter light up and someone beside him started smoking. James looks at this figure with shiny armor and a wolf-like helmet that seems to have an opening for his mouth and nose.

"Hey James. It's been a while" the armored figure said.

"Hello, Hero Slayer. Or should I call you Peter Warwolf?" James asked.

"Don't be cliche'. Besides you could just call me by my name if you wanted to" Peter said.

"What do you want from me?" James asked.

"Me? I have no wants, remember? I'm brainwashed" Peter said.

"How can you acknowledge that you're brainwashed?" James asked.

"I'm only 60% brainwashed. You see, I'm not all human. As a matter of fact, I would call myself.. a mutant of some sort. Not a complete mutant abomination, but still somewhat a mutant at the same time that I am still human. And being partially mutant makes me immune to being fully controlled. The 40% allows me to do whatever I want, as long as I do what I am told eventually" Peter said.

"What's your point?" James asked.

"I'm ordered to kill you. But I'm keeping you alive to do a demonstration for who they call The Swordmaster. I'm going to show him something not even Goku was able to resist" Peter said.

"Which is?" James asked.

"These bullets" Peter said as he pulled out his pistol and took out a bullet.

"These bullets contain viruses that have three stages. The first is to make it difficult for the victim to breath. The second is to heat up the victims body to a point where it would feel like you're going through a thousand suns. And finally the third... which disintegrates the victim" Peter said as he puts the bullet back in and his pistol away.

"Were you always like this in your dimension?" James asked.

Peter stayed quiet for a moment.

"James.. let me ask you something. What do you think it's like.. to lose everything? What's it like.. to be tricked? To make a deal with someone that ends up enslaving you and breaking his promise? Living in a place where there is no peace?" Peter asked.

James just looked down and said nothing.

"I didn't think so. Since you don't.. I don't think there's anything you can understand. But the one thing you should understand is that you'll be in pain. The amount of pain that you'll be in can't be described. The closest description is that it makes even the most quiet want scream out in pain. So.. be prepared. This will be the one and only time I'll talk you you like a human being" Peter said harshly as he left the room.

James sighed.

"This was a big mistake... I'm sorry Chuck.." James said starting to feel bad about killing him.

Meanwhile, SSC Crash, CZA Crash, SSC Crunch, Stitch, Angel, Crashzilla, Hunter, Spyro and Sonic are seen approaching the Brawl Stadium.

They hid behind rocks as they saw solders guarding the entrances.

"Who are those guys?" CZA Crash asked.

"Oh. Those are Call of Duty solders. They're said to be one of the most annoying solders ever. At least to me they are annoying" Sonic said.

"How so?" SSC Crash asked.

"Just the way how they tend to respawn whenever they lay down those devices that has that laser light coming out of it" Sonic said.

"So.. they can't die?" Hunter asked.

"They can. You just have to destroy the devices first in order for that to happen. And trust me, finding those things are a pain in the ass. Because they tend to hide them either behind corners or right behind you. Whichever the case, they can be annoying to kill" Sonic said.

SSC Crash just stared as if he feels something.

"You sense it too?" SSC Crunch asked.

"Yes. I sense.. an evil presence here. But.. is it the Hero Slayer or the figure responsible for this mess? It's kind of weak" SSC Crash said.

"We'll have to keep our eyes peeled" SSC Crunch said.

"Ok.. now we can.. hey. Where did that other orange guy go?" Sonic asked.

CZA Crash walks up to a solder and taps on his shoulder.

"Hey, where do you keep your devices. I'm just curious" CZA Crash asked.

"Oh, we put those spawning devices over behind the rocks" a solder said.

"Thanks" CZA Crash said.

"You idiot! That's the bandicoot that he's looking for!" another solder said.

"Shoot him!" the other solder shouted.

They fired their guns. CZA Crash jumped over them and made a face and it angered them.

"Grr! How dare you insult me!" the other solder shouted.

He throws the grenade near CZA Crash, which so happens to be the spot where they hid their spawning devices.

"Fuck me.." the other solder said realizing his mistake.

CZA Crash jumps as the grenade explodes and destroys the devices.

Everyone else looked at him amazed.

"You know.. he may not be the smartest character.. but at least he can do some good things" SSC Crunch said.

"I agree. Now then, leave this part to me" SSC Crash said.

SSC Crash disappeared and sliced them up before they had a chance to call for backup.

"Huh.. it's sad.. they seem to be nothing but solder wannabes" CZA Crash said.

"I guess. Now let's head in" SSC Crash.

Once they got in, they just arrived at the time when that extremely long tribute was over.

Wario was asleep. But then when the music stopped he woke up.

"Ahem. Thank you for sticking around for that extremely long tribute. We'll have to fix that. Anyways, allow me to introduce our last four contestants!" Wario said and the crowed cheered.

"In this corner.. we have.. Fox McCloud!" Wario said.

The crowed cheered as Fox McCloud, in his torn up suit, walked out of the tunnel.

"Next, we have Link!" Wario said.

The crowed cheered as Link walked out of the tunnel with his suit also torn.

"Next, we have Pikachu!" Wario said.

The crowed cheered as Pikachu walked out with cuts all over his body.

"And lastly, everyone's favorite plumber.. and my opposite.. Mario!" Wario said.

Mario walks out of the tunnel with torn clothes and a cut on his nose.

"Now.. the question remains.. who shall triumph and take his lady?" Wario said as he pointed to the cages where Zelda, Peach, Female Lucario, and Krystal are in cages, naked.

Some guys in the crowed were whistling at them while the rest cheered.

"And who shall also take home, this very rare gem sword?" Wario asked as the crowed continued to cheer.

Our heroes sneaked in and looked at the arena. There were so many people. They looked around and spotted the heroes about to kill each other.

"And before we begin, there's a very special guest here today.. " Wario said.

This got the heroes' attention. Who was this 'special guest'?

"You all know him as much as I do. The big man himself... Specter!" Wario said.

A spotlight shined on a man with red eyes, white hair and a skinny body.

"So that's who's behind all of this?" SSC Crash asked.

"That's him" Sonic said.

"Also joining us.. Peter Warwolf a.k.a. The Hero Slayer!" Wario said as Peter walks up next to Specter.

SSC Crash then felt something strange. And it was coming from Peter. He couldn't explain it, but something about Peter disturbed him.

"It's him!" Spyro said.

"The Hero Slayer" Sonic said.

Stitch growled.

"And now. The moment you've all been waiting for.. let's get ready to brawl!" Wario shouted.

At the sound of the horn, Fox, Link, Pikachu and Mario all went at it.

After several minutes of fighting, SSC Crash began to get disgusted with the fighting. All these guys are heroes. Why would they waste each other? But it's clear that they had no choice. It was their punishment to try to go against Specter.

After the fighting went out long enough, almost all the heroes were tired and couldn't fight any longer. SSC Crash then couldn't take it anymore, he jumped into the arena and stopped the fight from continuing any further.

Everyone was surprised to see SSC Crash. They all asked each other if they think he's The Swordmaster. The one to come and free them all.

"Well, look at that. The Swordmaster decided to show himself. You know what to do" Specter said.

"Yes, sir" Peter said.

Peter jumped into the arena and pulled out his swords.

SSC Crash saw Peter and pulled his sword out.

SSC Crash then saw Specter was out in the open. So he disappeared and reappeared in front of Specter and sliced him.

But only the chair was sliced, not Specter.

SSC Crash looked at Specter and saw he was unharmed. This puzzled him at first, then as it turns out, it was a hologram.

Specter laughed as his hologram disappeared.

Peter then had a call through his helmet.

"Kill them all!" Specter said through the call.

"Right away" Peter said.

SSC Crash came back into the arena and the rest of the group came into the arena.

"Come on you cock-sucking douche bag! Let's see what you got!" Crashzilla said stepping up.

Peter smiled at the fact Crashzilla was trying to sound hardcore. Peter puts his swords away and walks up to him.

"Gladly" Peter said.

Peter then grabs Crashzilla by the throat, making it difficult for him to do his atomic breath attack.

Then Peter pushes a button and two little robotic claws came out and headed for Crashzilla's eyes. Crashzilla tried to shake them off, but he wasn't able to do anything. Then the robotic claws, touched around his eyes and then there was a squishing sound and Crashzilla yelling in pain.

Crashzilla covers his eyes that blood was dripping from. Everyone cringed at the sight. Even SSC Crash was disturbed by this. Then Peter took a sword and lunged it in Crashzilla's chest. Peter then pulls out the sword and Crashzilla falls over dead.

Everyone was speechless. Everyone was just frozen in place.

Peter noticed Stitch and remembered what he wanted to show them.

"Hey.. you're the one called Stitch right? The one little girls' pet?" Peter asked.

Stitch clutched his claws getting more and more angry.

"I'm going to show you guys what I showed him, long ago" Peter said.

Peter pulled out a remote and his motorcycle came with someone tied up.

"Recognize this face?" Peter asked as he held the figure up who's revealed to be James.

"James?" the heroes asked.

A/N: Sorry if this seemed a little sloppy, but I went back and forth on what I wanted to do with this. So, hopefully I'll do better in the next chapter or so. Hope you enjoyed and see ya next time.
