Nash gave a series of flurry of punches into Crunch Bandicoot's stomach. The large man grunted as he stepped back holding his gut.
"Surprised by how awesome I am!" Nash said with a smirk.
"Yeah! Especially since I had never actually seen you Champions fight before." Crunch noted.
"Just because we haven't appeared outside of a game doesn't mean we can't fight!" Nash scolded. "Do you think I know warm-up punches for kicks?"
Crunch then smirked. "Well, considering that this is YOU, we are talking about."
"Hey!"
Meanwhile, Millia R. used her hair as a whip striking her opponent. However, Milla M. used her free hand to summon a small force field to block the attack. Seeing that she got an opportunity, Millia M. slashed her foe in the arm.
Millia R. stepped back holding her arm with a snarl. "You are quite strong."
"Thank you." Millia M. said readying herself. "I may be new to stuff like this and I am no pushover."
Millia R. then narrowed her eyes. "Well, nonetheless, you are still a rookie. You still have a lot to go before you could even face me."
"Well, we just have to find out, don't we?" Millia M. asked.
"Millia!"
The two blonde women's eyes widened before turning to see Bridget walking over.
Millia R. shook her head. "Bridget, this better be important."
"Um, yes. Sorry, Miss Rage but I was talking to the other Millia." The cross-dresser apologized before turning her attention to the other woman. "Um, how well you know your nodal companions?"
"Um, decent I suppose." The swordswoman said raising her eyebrow. "Why?"
Bridget jerked his thumb behind him. "Um, I don't suppose you know how to help your redheaded friend over there?"
The two women looked to see Zelos on his hands and knees staring at the ground in shame. Obviously he was still upset over hitting on a man.
(Announcer's Booth)
"Poor guy." Orange-Ratchet winced. "At this rate, he will not have the will to fight."
"Yeah but in a way, he DID had it coming." SSBFreak said with a shrug. "There is a reason why Bridget is a Trope Namer at TVTropes."
"I suppose." Orange-Ratchet mused. Then, he noticed that Tinyrocket was talking on the phone looking annoyed.
"Look, there are a few people who I wanted to invite but couldn't. You just have to grin it and bear it!" Tinyrocket insisted before loud yelling was heard. "Yes, I know that you-know-who got his own node but still… Hello? Hello?"
Seeing that the caller had hung up on him, Tiny groaned while burying his hands in his face. Orange-Ratchet and SSBFreak looked at each other in confusion.
"Who was that, Tiny?" Orange-Ratchet asked.
"Just someone who is upset that he didn't get invited." Tinyrocket said with a sigh.
(Dome; Security Team Room)
The security team watched as Ally Gator paced back and forth in front of them.
"All right. Here is the deal." Ally said. "We will circle this hotel from top to bottom making sure that nobody is doing something suspicious unless we get a call of a fight breaking out."
Kanji crossed his arms not amused. "And who died and made YOU boss?"
"Yeah, I don't remember the hosts saying anything of assigning leaders!" Hunter snapped.
Ally's eyebrow started to twitch. "Watch it! Besides, this is serious!"
"Come on, Ally." Mel warned. "I am sure that whatever fights break-out, it won't be that bad."
"That's where you're wrong." The boxer said with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Vivi asked concerned.
"I think you already know this but there is a similar tournament called the Megamix Tournament." Ally explained. "In the second tournament, I was in a group to stop a conspiracy. And from what I gathered, the same thing happened in the first tournament."
"You don't think the same thing will happen here?" Mel asked.
"As much as I hope otherwise, it is a possibility." Ally said shaking her head. "The main leader is ALWAYS Bison and seeing that he is invited to this tournament again, it will bound to happen all over again."
The others looked stunned by this. They had heard rumours about stuff like that but they assumed that they were just a ruse to boost up ratings.
"So what do we do?" Vivi asked.
"Nothing outside of our usual search duty but we cannot afford to leave even stone unturned." Ally instructed. "Don't let your guard down for even a second."
"Right, we are with you, Ally." Mel said nodding her head.
"I am always happy to follow a woman even though she's Amazon Ugly!" Branky said.
Mel gasped before narrowing her eyes. "Branky! You promised!"
With that, she stormed over to the wall and started to beat Branky against the wall repeatedly with her.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! Okay, I had been a bad girl! I'm sorry!" Branky begged.
The rest of the security team blinked twice while Ally shook her head. She needed to be on her guard 100% because it seems that a couple of security members may be liabilities.
(The Arena)
Tails yelped as he jumped backwards to avoid a couple of sword slashes from Pit. Spinning his tails, the fox flew up and gave the angel an uppercut.
The punch wasn't that hard but it was more than enough to send the angel stepping back holding his chin. However, he went on the attack again spinning his swords around making a glowing ring. Tails thought quickly and flew up allowing the winged man to go through. He then kicked him in the back.
Pit staggered forward a few steps before he whirled around with a glare.
"Okay, perhaps some different tactics are in order." He said.
He then turned his swords into a bow. Pit fired arrows of lights at his opponent. Tails jumped before he flew to avoid the attacks.
Deciding to return fire, he threw some dark yellow rings at Pit. However, the young man quickly got out a shield out of nowhere. Not only did it block the rings but it also sent them back at Tails.
The rings exploded in front of Tails knocking him onto the ground. Pit watched as his opponent slowly got up.
Pit sighed. "You might as well give up now. You did a good job but it is clear that you are outclassed in this match-up."
Tails narrowed his eyes. "N-No. I refuse to be the first one eliminated from this tournament."
"I respect your courage but unfortunately, it is misplaced." Pit said.
With that, he fired his bow and fired more arrows at the fox. Tails reacted and flew past them avoiding them as much as he can. He then soared in and gave the angel a hard kick.
With the angel stunned, Tails spun around striking him in the stomach with his tails multiple times. After that, he grabbed Pit and with a surprising amount of strength lifted him off the guard and dropped him out of the arena.
However, Pit had already snapped out of his daze and started to flap him wings.
"Ha! Sorry but you have to do a lot better than…" Pit said with a smirk.
However, that was all he got out before he saw a ring being thrown at him
The ring exploded on contact and the angel, too stunned to fly, dropped into a portal which disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Pit landed in Bejeweled where he got crushed by a ton of falling gems.
(Announcer's Booth)
"Dang, talk about greed being your undoing." Orange-Ratchet winced.
"Don't worry, folks!" Tinyrocket announced. "When he gets back to the dome in ten minutes, our team of doctors will nurse him back to health!"
(The Arena)
Guilmon raised his claws to block a Scimitar. Thinking quickly, he whirled around whipping his opponent in the face.
Komodo Joe staggered to the side before glaring at the guilty party. "You will pay for that."
With that, he leaped forward and slashed. Guilmon however leaped back avoiding the attack. Joe made up for this mistake by leaping and kneeing the Digimon in the face revealing that he was just as agile.
Guilmon staggered back holding his face before quickly shook it off and glare at his fellow lizard.
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon yelled shooting a fireball at his mouth.
Joe thought quickly and slashed it negating the attack. Guilmon tried as he charged forward headfirst. Joe flipped over the dinosaur and slashed in the back.
Guilmon cried in pain before whirling around. "You will pay for that!"
"You have to catch me firssssst." Joe smirked.
Guilmon growled before charging forward. Joe chuckled darkly before slashing.
That was until the dinosaur had actually the sword in his mouth much to the Komodo Dragon's surprise.
"H-Hey… What are you doing, you moron?" Joe demanded pulling back. "Let go!"
Guilmon didn't listen. Instead, he bit the sword harder. The power struggle between the two lizards continued on.
Much to everyone's surprise (and Joe's horror), he actually bit through the steel making the sword.
Joe stepped back before looking over his broken sword in horror before slowly turning his attention back at Guilmon.
"You broke my sssssword." Joe said before getting angry. "You broke my sssssword! Do you know how much these type of weaponssssss cost nowadayssssss!"
Guilmon didn't reply. He merely grabbed Joe and threw him out of the ring.
Komodo Joe landed in Final Fight. Normally he would easily make quick work of the generic mooks but seeing that he didn't have his sword, he didn't last very long.
Guilmon went back to his usual child-like self and nodded at his first elimination. He turned around to see Espio booting Akira out of the ring. (and into Road Rash where she demolished the competition in a race.) Guilmon blinked twice before shrugging and go to Challenge someone else.
Millia R. turned her hair into a makeshift rapier and stabbed at Millia M. The latter summoned her shield to block the furious assault. However, she then swung her sword at the hair parrying it.
"Fire Ball!" Millia M. shouted shooting a fireball from her free hand. It struck Millia R. in the chest sending her back.
Millia R. landed on her back but she quickly got up groaning in pain before glaring at her opponent. Deciding to try again, she slashed at Millia M. with her hair.
However, Millia M. ducked under it and kicked the woman in the chest causing her to stagger back. Millia M. then started to concentrate.
Millia R. regained her senses to glare at the woman. "All right. For a rookie, you can keep up with the veterans. But you have to do a lot more than that to beat me."
Suddenly, she noticed that Millia M. had some kind of mark under her.
"I'm aware of that." Millia M. smirked. "CYCLONE!"
Suddenly, a giant cyclone appeared under Millia R.'s feet and started to spin her around disorienting her greatly. When the cyclone was done, she was sent flying with the other Millia smirking in triumph.
However, she then noticed that her opponent wasn't going out of the arena.
Millia R. flew towards the fight between Tager and Sophie. Tager saw her coming.
"Incoming." He said.
Sophie turned her eyes to see Millia flying towards her. With a yelp, she aimed her gauntlets at the blonde woman.
"Scalar Gunner!" She shouted shooting energy at Millia's stunned body sending her out of the arena for good.
Millia landed in Ouran Host Club. When Tamaki went to hit on her, she promptly grabbed him with her hair and piledrived him into the ground.
Millia M. frowned at her failed elimination. "So much for that. At least that is one elimination for our node, though."
Suddenly, something hit her in the back of her head making her stagger forward. She turned around to see Bridget retreating his yo-yo.
"Got a problem, boy?" Millia said sternly.
"Not a personal one." Bridget shrugged. "But you got my nodal companion eliminated even though you technically never eliminated her. I just thought I should get some revenge."
"All right. Let's see what you can do." Millia said readying her sword.
"Don't worry. I intend to." Bridget said.
He then launched his yo-yos at the swordswoman who quickly deflected them with her own weapon. She then countered by casting another spell.
"Wind Lance!" She shouted summoning a green lance and launched it at Bridget.
The bounty hunter thought quickly and leaped to the avoiding the attack. He then charged forward and punched Millia twice in the stomach before giving her chin an uppercut.
Millia flew through the air in pain but managed to flip herself into position and gracefully land on her feet.
"Fire Ball!" She yelled launching a fire ball at her opponent.
Bridget darted forward and ducked under the projectile. However, what he didn't know that Millia was waiting for him to knee him in the face.
The young boy staggered back suddenly realizing why his Millia lost. Nonetheless, he was never one to give up. Shaking his head, he readied his yo-yos and started to spinning them around as if they were nunchucks.
Despite this took Millia by surprise, it did little to make her drop her guard. When Bridget went on the offensive swinging his improbable weapons wildly, Millia kept her cool and gracefully evaded or blocked each attack.
However, she was completely unprepared for the yo-yo that wrapped itself around her wrist.
Bridget smirked before grabbing the string of the toy and with a surprising amount of strength, he sent her straight out of the arena.
Millia landed in Resident Evil where she helped the main protagonists slay zombies.
(Hotel; Bison's Room)
Bison sat in his room thinking over the plans. If all things go well, power will surely come to him tonight. However, the dictator needed to keep an eye on his allies. He won't deny that some of them will try to backstab so he had to keep them in check.
Then, he heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Bison said.
The door opened up to reveal Dr. Eggman coming in.
"Ah, Dr. Eggman." Bison said. "Any luck with recruiting Eggman Nega and Black Doom?"
"Yes. I was able to get Eggman Nega without much hassle." The overweight man said. "Black Doom took a little more persuading but I got him."
"That's good. Did you give them the missions?" Bison asked.
"Yes, but Eggman Nega said he needed to prepare something first." Eggman said. "Said he been working for a while and that he will only use it as a last resort."
Bison raised his eyebrow. "I see. I must admit I am quite intrigued myself into seeing it."
"Same here. But again, that is only as a last resort." Eggman said crossing his arms. "I assume everything will go in order tonight?"
Bison nodded his head. "If everyone does their fair share, we should be able to get through this."
"Good." Dr. Eggman said rubbing his hands together.
(The Arena)
Dr. Boskonovitch fell on his face for what seemed like the tenth time. He looked up to see Diddy Kong staring back with his arms crossed and a very cheeky grin on his face.
"You rascally monkey!" Dr. B growled getting up. "How dare you!"
Ever since Diddy had entered the section, Dr. B had been trying to eliminate the monkey out of spite. However, Diddy was too quick and crafty for the scientist.
Dr. B ran towards Diddy and did a sliding catch. Or at least he tried to. Diddy just did a back-flip letting Dr. B slide through and land on his back. He then started to do a Russian dance.
"Get off me!" Dr. B demanded getting up throwing Diddy off of him.
Diddy got up and scampered off. Dr. B snarled before he gave chase.
Diddy Kong ran between the fight between Iori and D. Dark. Dr. B tried to follow. However, D. Dark had dropped one of his bombs at the time.
BOOM!
Dr. B found himself flying up into the air only to crash down onto the canvas. Again. The aging man weakly got up. Diddy saw this and laughed at the man.
Dr. B growled before running forward. He started to kick wildly at the monkey. Diddy shrieked before bouncing around avoiding the attacks.
Then, he got kicked hard. The red-clad simian sprawled around the ground in pain. He groaned before sitting up. Dr. B smirked before going in for the elimination.
That was when Diddy noticed the bald man coming. Thinking quickly, he got out something and threw it on the ground.
Dr. B promptly stepped on a banana peel.
Diddy watched in amusement and relief as Dr. B slid past him screaming at the top of his lungs. He went into the ropes where he tumbled over and fell in.
Dr. B landed in Ape Escape where he had to deal with more cheeky monkeys only with weapons.
Crunch and Nash continued to go at it. Ever since the latter had entered the arena, the two had been fighting each other. Mainly because Crunch and Nash had never seen eye-to-eye.
Crunch raised his metallic arm to block a flurry of punches from Nash. Normally, it would make the puncher recall their fist in pain but because Nash is a mechanical shark, it did little to affect him.
The muscular bandicoot grunted in annoyance swinging his metal arm smacking the shark in the face sending him flying onto his side.
Despite this, he quickly got up and charged over with a toothy grin. "Okay! Now here is where the fun REALLY begins!"
Crunch simply rolled his eyes at this. "Where did I hear THAT before?"
Nash growled at this. "You asked for it!"
With that, he lunged at his larger opponent and leaped teeth-first. Crunch then held his arm to block the attack only to have Nash bite his arm.
"Heh. Next time, Shark-boy but you have to do a lot better than that to…" Crunch said.
That was before he noticed that Nash's teeth were actually slowly making its way through the metal. The giant's eyes widened in horror actually looking nervous. He had his arm as far as he could remember so he don't know what happens if it actually breaks.
However, his worries had been interrupted when a wave of purple fire struck him the back knocking him down causing Nash to fall down as well.
Nash immediately got up. "What the heck was that?"
Then, he noticed that his opponent had a smoking back. Raising his eyebrow, he looked around.
D. Dark got out his blade to block a scratch from Iori Yagami. Sticking out his foot, he kicked the red-haired man in the stomach causing him to stagger back. D. Dark took this chance to go for the kill.
However, Iori had more reflexes than people gave him credit for and swerved his head to the side barely avoiding death. The purple-flame wielder then gave his arm and elbowed his hard in the back knocking him onto the canvas.
However, D. Dark got onto his feet just as quickly. "It is going to take a lot more than that to stop me."
"I hope so. I am actually amused so far." Iori said with a smirk.
The two deadly fighters then got back into their fighting position.
"Hey!"
The duo jerked to attention before looking to see Nash storming over.
"I don't know who the culprit is but one of your attacks hit my opponent in the back and interrupted our fight!" Nash said angrily.
"Well, tough." D. Dark said narrowing his eyes. "I had been attacked ever since I had entered so don't expect me to lose any tears over one stray attack."
"Get out my sight, fish." Iori scoffed. "I have no time for someone as obnoxious as you."
"Do you think I am just going to walk off like that?" Nash growled holding up his fists. "Come on!"
D. Dark's snarled. "You are quite an eyesore."
He then shot out a wire at Nash and wrapped it around Nash's neck.
"Now let's see you actually talk." D. Dark said before applying pressure.
Nash stood in his place stunned. "Um, is something supposed to happen?"
D. Dark's eyes widened at this. "How are you not choking?"
"Because I am a MECHANICAL shark you schmuck!" Nash said grabbing the wire and pulling it towards him. "Now GET OVER HERE!"
With a cheer from the audience (except for Scorpion who muttered something about copyright infringement), Nash pulled the surprised mercenary over to him and gave him a hard uppercut knocking him clear out of the ring.
D. Dark landed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles where he got into a fight with Leonando and Donatello.
Nash heartily laughed at his elimination. "Man! That was too easy!"
As he continued laughing, he failed to notice that Iori was standing behind him with his purple flame ignited in his hand. He was about to swing it out of anger.
Until Crunch came out of nowhere and tackled him shoulder-first. Nash turned around to see that Iori disappearing out of the arena. The aquatic creature realized that Crunch had saved him.
"Wow… I… I…" Nash said looking to the side before looking back. "I could have done that too!"
"Riiiiiight." Crunch said rolling his eyes.
Iori landed in Fruits Basket where he promptly set Kyo on fire.
Despite Iori had gone out of the arena, the fangirls weren't too upset. Mainly because they were preoccupied with something else.
Marth and Leon clashed swords with each other for the twentieth time now. They then got into a power struggle trying to gain ground. When realizing that it would just end in a draw, they both leaped back.
"Demon Fang!" Leon shouted swinging his sword.
He then launched a shockwave at Marth. However, the prince easily avoided it. However, Leon was expecting this and started to cast magic just like Millia M.
"Grave!"
A stone spike stuck out of the ground launching the surprised Marth off the ground and sent him crashing onto the ground. The blue-haired man groaned as he slowly got up.
His eyes widened as he saw that Leon was charging at him.
"Dragon Swarm!"
Leon that swung his weapons at Marth. Despite taken back, the latter used his sword to block or parry the attacks. However, a knife found its way on his chest.
After Marth staggered back holding the cut, he glared at his opponent. "Does EVERYONE in your node call out your attacks out loud?"
"Pretty much." Leon said coolly. "Now surrender. You are clearly outmatched."
Marth narrowed his eyes. "Just because you have more moves than me does not make you more experienced."
"Tough talk from someone who went flying across the arena the minute they stepped into the section." Leon taunted.
Marth growled before getting into a stance as if he was about to stab. Leon shook his head and prepared to block it.
Unfortunately for him, it is hard to block attack specified designed to break attacks.
Marth stabbed forward breaking through Leon's guard. As the latter stepped back in surprise, Marth went on the offensive and swung his sword slashing up Leon and giving a lot of scratches in his clothes.
He then ended the barrage up slashing upwards knocking the dark-haired man in the air. Marth then jumped up slashing him one more time knocking him out of the ring for good.
Leon landed in Mario Party 9. Unfortunately he landed in the minigame, Smash Compactor and found himself squished in a trash compactor.
Arina grunted in pain as she landed on her side. However, she got up and quickly as she fell down and charged at Wang-Tang again.
The Chinese fighter blocked the attack easily. Thinking quickly, he kicked Arina in the torso causing her to step back in pain.
"Sheesh! Calm down!" Wang-Tang scolded. "I am sorry that I insulted your node, all right!"
"You shouldn't have said it in the first place!" Arina snapped punching forward. "Besides, I am determined! My node needs eliminations!"
"I know how you feel." Wang-Tang said blocking the attack. "My node desperately needs eliminations too."
"But at least some people actually HEARD of Power Stone!" Arina countered as she jumped back. "Heck, the only person who even made a cameo outside of our game is Bonus-Kun. And he was from Galaxy Fight first!"
"Nonetheless, I refuse to let my master down." Wang-Tang said sending his palm forward.
Arina easily blocked the attack but could do nothing when her opponent flipped her and kicked her in the back. The rabbit-eared girl fell onto her stomach before getting back up.
"Hmm… She's tough." Wang-Tang mused. "Still, it's too early to go into my Powered state."
Just like at previous tournaments, the Super Smash Bros node had all been received a Smash Ball if they wanted to use their Final Smash. However, the Power Stone and Digimon Rumble Arena nodes had received one in place of their usual powering up tools. So Wang-Tang had a Smash Ball which he can break at any time to go into his super form but he could only use said Smash Ball once.
Deciding to go for it in his normal state, he charged forward in a flying kick. Arina thought quickly and crouched down not only avoiding the attack but also left him wide-open to a couple of flying kicks.
Wang-Tang fell on his back as Arina leaped down. The teenaged girl then started to charge up energy. Wang-Tang got up holding his head only to notice his opponents was about to attack.
"ARINA BEAM!"
Waving her hand downwards, she sent a large pink heart at his foe. Wang-Tang, taken off-guard got hit with it.
As he staggered back, hearts circled his head. He dizzily wobbled in his place with a stupid look on his face. This left him easy pickings for Arina to boot him out of the ring.
Wang-Tang landed in Dragonball. It took the combined efforts of all of the heroes to stop Vegeta from destroying him while calling him a rip-off.
Arina panted heavily glaring at the disappearing portal. Once she had calmed down, she had realized what she had done.
"And just like that, Waku Waku 7 had got their first elimination!" Tinyrocket announced.
This resulted in a cheer. Arina grinned happily before waving to the crowd.
(Waku Waku 7 Locker Room)
"Wow! Look at that! Miss Arina had actually managed to get an elimination!" Mugi said excitedly.
"Yeah! That means that there IS a chance for us after all!" Rai grinned.
"We'll see." Slash said crossing his arms. "As of now, let's see if she got what it takes to actually SURVIVE the section."
"Nonetheless, it gives us a better chance in the ring." Dandy-J said coolly putting his hat over his eyes.
(The Arena)
Kyosuke grunted in annoyance as he used his Cross Cutter to send two waves of electricity at Amingo. However, the cactus made his fists huge and punches them negating the effects.
"This is absurd!" Kyosuke snapped. "What is this thing anyway?"
Amingo then charged forward punching twice. Kyosuke quickly back-flipped away from the attack. Waving his arm upwards, he summoned a lightning bolt just in front of Amingo.
It hit Amingo zapping. The rotund creature staggered back stunned. Seeing his chance, Kyosuke used his Cross Cutter move again damaging Amingo even more.
"Hmm… If I keep him stunned long enough, I may be able to beat him." Kyosuke mused.
With that, he ran forward and kicked the cactus in his face (Or what seemed like his face). He then back-flipped striking Amingo again.
Amingo staggered back dazed. Kyosuke saw his chance and ran forward swinging his arm.
Unfortunately, Amingo snapped out of his daze in time to see it coming. Turning his foot into a vine, he quickly grabbed Kyosuke's wrist.
"H-Hey! Let go!" Kyosuke demanded.
Amingo didn't listen. In fact, he continued to wrap the vine around Kyosuke's body wrapping it tightly. The high-school student grunted trying to break out of the vines but to no avail. Amingo then started punching the poor guy multiple times.
After ten good punches, he had released his prey and jumped leaving his opponent stunned. Amingo then rushed forward.
Everyone gaped in awe as Amingo turned into a bulb-like plant charging at Kyosuke. The white-clad man was still too stunned to move so he could do nothing but get tackled and fly out of the ring.
Kyosuke landed in Panty and Stockings. He promptly committed suicide so he wouldn't stay there for ten whole minutes.
Alba looked around the area carefully. He adjusted his shades trying not to get to let his guard down.
Suddenly, he spread out his arms, grabbed the air and then threw his hands down.
The gang leader glared at the ground before seeing Espio appear on the canvas.
"It is going to take more than some disappearing act to get the jump on me." Alba scolded.
"I am aware of that." Espio said getting back up.
He then got out a kunai and leaped at Alba. The red-haired man swiftly dodged the attack allowing the ninja to go through. Espio swiftly landed on his feet before turning around.
Electricity surged in Alba's hand. Swinging his hand, he sent a shockwave through Espio but the chameleon was more nimble than people gave him credit for and easily leaped over the shockwave.
Still jumping, he attempted a kick. It connected and Alba found himself staggering back. Espio gracefully landed on the ground and rushed forward slamming his elbow into his stomach knocking the wind out of him.
Alba stood up straight narrowing his eyes. He karate-chopped Espio on the head (trying not to hit his horn by mistake) knocking him to the ground. He then booted him away.
Espio sprawled around the ground in pain before rolling into a kneeling position. Getting out two shuriken, he threw them at his opponent. Alba swiftly ducked under them and ran forward. He then started to engulf electricity in his hand again.
Those who weren't familiar with Maximum Impact looked in awe as Alba summoned a giant wall of electricity was his fist at Espio who went wide-eyed.
After launching the attack, he waved his hand shaking off the attack. He then around to see Espio was long gone.
"Ha. You knew that he was small but I didn't that it would send him clear out of the arena." Alba mused.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he sensed someone's presence. Before he could react, a tornado of leaves appeared out of nowhere and sent him spinning out of the ring.
Alba landed in Double Dragon where he got into a fight with the Lee twins.
Espio reappeared with a satisfied. Turning around, he saw Blaze kicking Lien out of the arena (and into Super Monkey Ball where Gongon accidentally knocked her off the stage). Proud of how well his node was doing early on, he nodded before walking off.
(Hotel; Lobby)
"And here I thought that this tournament will be different." The woman whimpered as she heard behind the counter.
Kraken ducked under Shoma's giant baseball bat and head-butted the teenager in the stomach causing him to stagger back in pain.
The pirate cackled darkly. "Face it, kiddo! You are way out of your league!
Shoma growled. "I know that I can beat a punk like you!"
"Oh yeah?" Kraken taunted. "Just try it."
Shoma snorted out steam before getting out a baseball and throwing it at Kraken. The blue-clad villain used his right hand (which has a robot-like claw) and swatted it away. Cackling once again, he aimed his gun at Shoma.
The white-clad man's eyes widened before he immediately jumped to the ground and covering his head barely missing the bullet Kraken fired as it buried its way into the turnbuckle.
Realizing that he couldn't afford to let Kraken get a second shot, he quickly got up and threw another baseball this time clobbering him into the face.
The pirate staggered back as Shoma ran forward. Doing a baseball slide, he knocked Kraken off of his feet.
Shoma quickly got up and grabbed Kraken by the shirt. "Now tell me! What are you planning with Kurow and Bison!"
"Bite me." Kraken smirked before headbutting Shoma causing the baseball player to lose his grip on him.
Shoma shook away his dizziness to snarl at the man. Deciding to try again, he ran towards the pirate swinging his bat wildly. Kraken leaped back trying to evade the attacks but an attack hit him in the side sending him flying through the air until he hit the wall making an unsightly mark in it.
The blue-clad man slid off the wall in pain. Shoma ran over to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"I am going to ask again." Shoma said darkly. "What are you planning with Kurow and Bison?"
"Heh. What a brat like you is going to do about it?" Kraken said weakly smirking. "Besides, Valgas had already found some "recruits" for us."
Shoma's eyes widened in realization when he heard this. "Oh, dang! I had forgotten all about that!"
With that, he punched Kraken out with a good sock. He then got up looking furious.
"Kurow… I don't what you are planning but you are NOT going to succeed!" Shoma snarled.
With a roar of anger, he grabbed his bat and ran in the direction Valgas leaving the women at the counter shaking in anger and Kraken out cold.
(The Arena)
Iron Tager swung his fist at Sophie who quickly dodged it by flipping to the side.
"Scalar Gunner!" She shouted shooting energy in Tager's stomach stagger back a few steps.
Tager slowly stopped. "Absolutely fascinating. How could one little girl be so strong?"
"It is a long story and I don't think now is the best time to talk." Sophie said.
"True." Tager said adjusting his glasses. "Still, now that I know how much of a threat you are, I will hold no quarter."
Sophie nodded her head before having the next attack.
"Twin Moons!"
The young-looking girl back-flipped twice with the second attack striking Tager in the chin. However, it did little more than made him flinch. Tager grabbed the girl in mid-air and threw her away.
Sophie quickly flipped herself back into position and charged forward. However, Tager stomped his foot onto the ground making his opponent (and a few other fighters) shake before falling down.
Sophie weakly got up as Tager crossed his arms.
"Do you surrender?" Tager said coolly.
"N-No." Sophie said "I want to stay as long as possible."
"Well, I am sorry but that is not the case here." Tager sighed.
With that, he started to engulf electricity in his gauntlets. Sophie went on her guard expecting a heavy electric attack.
Unfortunately, she was solely wrong.
Sophie suddenly felt her body being pulled forward. The young fighter tried to stop herself but instead she found herself being pulled towards Tager.
Tager grabbed the girl with his giant hand.
"Forgive me." He apologized throwing her out of the ring with no hope of returning.
Sophie landed in Paper Mario. After landing in Flower Fields, she had fun chasing bubbles the Bubble Plant produces.
Tager nodded his head. Suddenly, he felt something strike his leg. Turning around, he saw Zelos standing a good few feet away.
"May I help you?" Tager asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah. You eliminated a little girl when you are the biggest person in the arena." Zelos said readying himself. "That sort of thing puts a bad taste in my mouth."
"Now hold on." Tager insisted. "SHE challenged ME."
"I know. I am just looking for an excuse to fight you because I just don't really like you." Zelos smirked.
Tager sighed. "Okay, if you wanna fight me, fine. Just let me warn you that it is going to take a lot to get me off of the ring."
Zelos' smirk had gotten bigger. "I am aware of that."
With that, he swaggered towards Tager with a laid-back look on his face and stuck it in the air.
Suddenly, Tager noticed that purple angelic wings had appeared on Zelos' back. The red-skinned man wasn't feeling so hot about his chances.
"SHINING BIND!"
With Zelos' shout, he leaped up in the air surrounding himself with a large pillar of light hitting Tager multiple. The audience looked in pure awe and beauty. Once the attack ended, Tager staggered back tumbling out of the ring.
Tager landed in Ecco the Dolphin where he caused a giant tidal wave that wiped out everything in a thirty-mile radius.
Zelos landed gracefully on the ground with a smirk. As his wings faded away, he turned around to see Diddy booting Pullum out of the ring (and into Aladdin where Abis Mal mistook her for Jasmine and tried to kidnap her. Very stupid mistake.) Zelos was tempted to fight the monkey and told himself that he was still recovering his dignity from hitting on Bridget and walked off.
Arina leaped over a wave of fire. Waving her hand, she sent her own projectile in form of a star. Blaze the Cat promptly dodged it and charged forward.
Engulfing her foot in fire, she slid forward. Despite her small stature, it was more than enough to knock Arina off her feet.
Blaze got up as she walked her opponent do the same. "I must admit, you are more skilled than I gave you credit. However, you cannot beat me. Be glad that you manage to get an elimination at all."
Arina snarled as she put up her dukes. "Just because it is rare for my node to get an elimination means we are just going to sit back and get eliminated? Heck no."
Blaze shook her head. "I admit that it would be shameful to surrender just like that but you are asking for it."
With that, she attacked by swinging her hand at Arina. However, the young girl jumped back and kicked forward. Blaze then got her foot and started to use her fire power.
Arina's eyes widened in pain as she staggered back holding her foot. "Hot! Hot! Hot!"
After she had finally made the flames die down, she glared at the guilty party.
"All right. Since you like playing with fire so much, how much you like it now?" She challenged.
With that, she started to gather energy, Blaze not knowing what to expect went on her guard.
"ARINA SPECIAL!"
Blaze gaped as Arina flew towards her engulfing herself in fire. Thinking quickly, Blaze used her own fire powers to launch them at Arina's attack.
While it did stop the teenager's attack, she still kept going. Blaze sweated as she continued to put on the pressure. The two flaming attacks from the girls continued on. The audience watched in awe at their display wondering who will win.
Then, Arina flew back out of her attack and landed on her side. She propped herself on her hands trying to get up. But then she fell down.
Blaze sighed before walking over and pushing her under the bottom rope. "Sorry. Here's hoping that the rest of your node could add to your total."
Arina landed in Kizuna Encounter where she took turns with Rosa beating down Joker.
Vega ducked under Chae Lim's kick. The latter tried again with another kick before the matador back-flipped out of the attack.
Vega gracefully landed on his feet. "My, my. This rose got thorns."
"You had been causing a lot of trouble for your node." Chae Lim said narrowing her eyes. "I will make you regret everything you had done."
"Sheesh, it is like a sane female version of that nut." Vega said rolling his eyes.
Chae Lim's eyes widened before she growled. "How dare you talk that way about my master!"
With that, she ran forward and did a series of lightning-fast kicks in his stomach before kicking him in the side.
The clawed man landed on his side before he got up holding his torso. He then glared at the guilty party with a snarl. He then charged forward swinging his claw.
Chae Lim jumped back getting away with just a few tears in her uniform. The Taekwondo practitioner then kicked the man in the face.
Vega staggered back dazed. As soon as he recovered though, he quickly readjusted his mask to make sure that it didn't fell off. He then snarled.
"You are testing my patience, kid." Vega said.
With that, he leaped over to a turnbuckle and landed on it. Using it as a springboard, he flew towards Chae Lim claw-first. The dark-haired woman's eyes widened before she ducked under the attack.
Vega landed back on the ground before turning around and leaping back at Chae Lim. This time, the young woman was ready and did a front flip kicking Vega in the back and knocking him onto the ground.
Chae Lim glared down at her downed opponent. "This battle is over."
Suddenly, Vega sprang to life much to Chae Lim's surprise. Leaping over the woman, he grabbed her and suplexed her into the canvas.
"No, NOW it is over." Vega smirked before picking up the stunned Chae Lim and throwing her out of the ring.
Chae Lim landed in Animal Crossing. Seeing Tom Nook as a crook, she beat him down into the ground. There was much rejoicing.
"Another beautiful victory." Vega said.
He then turned around to see who else was left. Crunch and Nash were still going at it with Tails deciding it was best to avoid them. Marth looked around cautiously for an invisible Espio. Amingo landed a song on a guitar with Guilmon watching him looking amused. Zelos wringed his finger in his ear while Bridget playing with his yo-yos. Finally, Blaze stood still trying to conserve energy in contrast to Diddy jumping around happily.
After doing a head count, Vega realized that all of the fighters had been eliminated which means the next section can start. He glanced by at the entrance curtain knowing the next wave of fighters will come out.
