"Why couldn't we have gone to a Sly Cooper world?" Cherry muttered as she looked tired after another day of physical training. "At least stealing from Carmelita Fox doesn't look so strenuous like Gym Class."
"I think stealing is harder than it seems for Sly Cooper." Atticus said.
"Aw, come on, how hard can it be?" Cherry replied.
"Let's ask Mo." Atticus chuckled.
"You two have a visitor." Luna told Cherry and Atticus.
The two soon came out to see who came to see them and they saw it was Drell who was looking among the others who were training how to fight as some weapons flew through the air, but he dodged them with ease.
"Drell?" Atticus and Cherry asked out of confusion.
"Hey, kids," Drell smiled. "How's it going?"
"We survived our first matches." Atticus said.
"Lemme see..." Drell said before examining them. "Hmm... Cherry, you have a few cuts."
"Kitana battled me against my will." Cherry replied.
"Of course..." Drell nodded before looking to Atticus. "Hmm... You have a few scars, but nothing too serious."
"Yeah, I know." Atticus said.
"It's good to see that you guys are doing fine with fighting for yourselves..." Drell said as he walked by them. "Very good... Especially if... SOMEONE TRIED TO STAB YOU FROM BEHIND!" he then took out a sword to strike down Cherry with.
Cherry soon took out a shield while kneeling to defend herself from the sword as it clashed.
"Wow." Drell said.
Cherry smirked to him.
"Very good, but CAN YOU STAND STILL?!" Drell smirked back before attempting to trip her by kicking behind her legs.
Cherry soon back-flipped, dodging his kick.
"Very good..." Drell smirked. "Now, how about-"
Cherry soon teleported away.
"W-Where'd she go...?" Drell looked around.
Cherry soon appeared right behind Drell and grabbed a hold of his neck, about to snap it which would then kill him instantly.
"Whoa! Okay, okay, I give!" Drell told her.
Cherry smirked before she slid down from his back.
"Okay, I'm impressed!" Drell chuckled to her as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Maybe you're not so spineless after all."
"Of course I'm not." Cherry said.
"I'm so proud of you both," Drell told them. "Have any of you been killed yet?"
"Yes," Cherry folded her arms with a sharp glare. "Tanya got me with an Air Split Drop and threw me into a sharp pit with human skulls and remains, it hurt like heck until Raiden had to revive me."
"Hey, I thought you'd know about resurrection in this world." Drell shrugged modestly.
"And now I do." Cherry said.
"I brought you guys some fighting clothes." Drell handed them gift wrapped boxes with their names on them.
"Ooh." Atticus smiled.
"Thanks." Cherry added.
"I hope they suit you guys enough," Drell replied. "I kinda took some advice for your outfit from Goku, Atticus."
"Cool." Atticus said.
The two soon opened up their presents to find their new fighting outfits which were those of their favorite colors.
"Awesome." Atticus smiled.
"Hey, not bad," Cherry added. "Blue's the best."
"I thought you might like them," Drell nodded to them. "And guess who else is also competing?"
"Hmm..." Cherry and Atticus paused to think that over.
"I'll give you an easy hint: he does karate and is married to the Ox King's daughter." Drell said.
"Cherry! It's Goku!" Atticus beamed as he grabbed a hold of her and shook her.
Cherry babbled and looked painfully dizzy. "Sttaaaawwwwpp shaaaakkinnng meee!"
"When does he arrive?" Atticus smiled at Drell.
"He's gonna come for your dinner hour since you'll have recreation time afterward," Drell replied. "Well, that and I mentioned food and he couldn't refuse."
"Should have known." Atticus smiled.
"Maybe you guys will have another adventure together," Drell replied. "Uh, Cherry, where did you get a Dragon Ball?"
"Atticus wanted me to have it." Cherry shrugged as she held her souvenir from Atticus's adventure.
"And it's hers now." Atticus said.
"You better be careful with that," Drell warned Cherry. "You can be quite the klutz."
"Thanks, Drell." Cherry deadpanned.
"Oh, speaking of dragons..." Drell said before taking out giant eggs to them. "Let this be a hint to your next voyage to Ever After High."
"The Dragon Games?" Cherry and Atticus guessed.
"Yes," Drell replied. "The first one in many years, but Raven and Crow's mother might make it the last if you're not careful."
"Uh-oh..." Atticus said.
Later on...
Atticus waited for Goku before he would eat while Cherry stuffed her face, and where a second later, a certain man appeared.
'Goku!" Atticus beamed.
"Hey, kiddo," Goku gave Atticus a bear hug before looking down to his plate. "You gonna finish that?"
"Yes." Atticus smirked as he took his plate away from him.
"Dang it." Goku pouted.
"Go get your own, Goku." Atticus chuckled.
"All right, I will." Goku nodded and soon did just that.
"Drell tells me about another adventure coming up," Atticus said to his mentor. "Can you tell me anything about it?"
"Sure." Goku said as he came back with his plate full of every food.
Atticus chuckled to that.
"Oh, you must be Cherry," Goku spotted the perky goth. "You look like Chichi when I play rough with the boys."
"Hello," Cherry greeted dryly since she didn't know Goku like Atticus did and wasn't very social with him. "So, what's this adventure that Drell mentioned?"
"Oh, nothing much," Goku smiled. "Just a little visit to another planet."
"Ooh." Atticus smiled.
"Which planet?" Cherry asked.
"Some call it the World King Planet," Goku told her. "Some extra training, I hope you're up for that, Atticus."
"I won't fail you." Atticus promised.
"I know you won't." Goku said.
Atticus smiled to Goku as he soon kept eating dinner with him.
"So, this is Goku..." Cherry replied as Goku ate a lot more than she did. "Fascinating..."
"Yeah," Atticus said. "Goku is a big eater."
"So I see..." Cherry replied.
"Little Miss Sunshine, isn't she?" Goku joked about how Cherry seemed deadpan and cynical.
"Yeah, the only time when she's not like this is on her birthday and Halloween." Atticus said.
Cherry glanced at him.
"Well, it's true!" Atticus replied. "It also doesn't help that they're so close together."
"Mm..." Cherry hummed before she continued to eat until she would feel full, she then took out her Dragon Ball. "Um, Gonard?"
"Goku." Goku corrected.
"Whatever," Cherry replied. "Um, what exactly does a Dragon Ball do?"
"Well, if you have all six Dragon Balls you can summon Shenron, and he will grant you one wish." Goku smiled.
"Huh..." Cherry replied before glancing to Atticus. "Hey, why did you only give me one?!"
"I didn't think you'd want a wish." Atticus said with an innocent shrug.
Cherry rolled her eyes at that.
"Okay, okay, next time, you'll get a wish." Atticus said.
"A simple wish?" Cherry joked.
"Nah, that's Darla's friend Annabelle's job." Atticus joked back.
"Anyway, I can't wait to compete." Goku smiled as he finished his food.
"Me neither," Atticus smiled back. "I've been trained by Scorpion."
"I've heard of him." Goku said.
"You ever meet him?" Atticus asked while drinking his glass of water.
"No, but I've heard he's a strong fighter." Goku said.
"Well, hopefully during our week here, you can meet up." Atticus replied.
"Sounds good to me, little buddy." Goku accepted.
After they finished eating, a weapon landed in front of Atticus's feet.
"YOW!" Cherry flinched at first before jumping back into a fighting stance. "Atticus, you okay? What was that?!"
Atticus soon saw the weapon and recognized it from one of the Mortal Kombat characters. A blindfolded man seemed to glance in Atticus's direction before crossing his arms with a steady nod.
"How'd he do that?" Goku asked Cherry.
"Kenshi's just mysterious like that." Cherry replied.
Atticus nodded back at Kenshi as his way of accepting his challenge. Kenshi soon came toward Atticus and took his sword back. Atticus soon jumped up on the table to face him.
"My sandwich!" Cherry cried out.
"Saved it." Goku said as he showed her her sandwich.
Cherry smiled as she then took it and ate it.
"All right, Kenshi, I guess it's you and me," Atticus smirked to the blind Mortal Kombat character. "So, shall we get this match out of the way?"
"Yes." Kenshi replied.
"Okay." Atticus said before going to meet him so that they could fight together.
A gong was soon sounded so that the two could have their fight against each other. Once in the arena, they both bowed to each other to show sportsmanship.
"FIGHT!" A voice told them.
Kenshi began toward Atticus by striking his sword around to slice or hack at Atticus. Atticus soon brought out his Sword of Harmony and blocked Kenshi's sword even if he wouldn't get hurt by Kenshi's sword. Kenshi and Atticus both engaged into a sword fight.
"I wonder how you fight when you can't see?" Atticus said to Kenshi.
"Just 'cuz you have eyes doesn't mean you always see." Kenshi smirked.
"You use your other senses, right?" Atticus asked.
"Oh, yes," Kenshi replied. "Though my eyes aren't that good, my other senses are a lot stronger."
"That sounds like a pretty good life lesson." Atticus smiled.
Kenshi soon tried to stab him only to be surprised by the result.
"Atticus!" Cherry cried out.
"What?!" Atticus called back.
"You got stabbed!" Cherry told him.
"Oh, did I?" Atticus asked as he didn't even seem to notice. "Oh, yeah, I did."
"That sword he has must be enchanted." Goku said.
"Oh, you don't know?" Cherry asked. "That's the Sword of Harmony from Equestria."
"I meant Kenshi's sword." Goku said.
"Oh, that," Cherry replied with a small chuckle. "Well, Sentō's a different story."
Atticus soon took out a Senzu Bean and ate it.
"Ah, yeah, way to go, Atticus!" Goku cheered.
Kenshi soon lifted his sword up and was about to slice at Atticus, but then the Sword of Harmony glowed for a bit. Atticus picked up his sword as he looked ready against Kenshi this time as it was intense between the two of them. This time, Kenshi's sword shattered on impact of Atticus's body.
Cherry gasped in shock. "Atticus... He... He destroyed Sentō, but... That's impossible!" She then remembered when the Sword of Harmony glowed.
"Are you okay...?" Goku asked Cherry as they watched Atticus against Kenshi.
"The Sword of Harmony!" Cherry told him.
Goku's eyes widened at her. Cherry shivered nervously as she was in suspense for Attcus against Kenshi with their swords.
