Everyone waited for the next section to begin. Some were feeling nervous because they knew that fatigue may work against them here. Nonetheless, they looked up at the curtain to see the next person coming in.
"DHALSIM!" (ST: EX)
The bold master of Yoga floated down to the ring with his legs crossed and a calm expression on his face. Once he was literally over the ring, he floated over to Chloe.
"Um, may I help you?" Chloe asked.
"I sensed a great of skill from you." Dhalsim said before stepping down. "Though I despise violence this, I knew that I could get a good fight from you."
"ANOTHER person who don't fight often?" Chloe asked in disbelief. "Excuse me but do you people even know what you had signed up for?"
Dhalsim was silent. "In any case, shall we begin?"
Chloe gave an unimpressed look. "Sure… We'll pretend that we never brought up the subject.
"BLUE MARY!" (Kof: MI)
The blonde cop and girlfriend of Terry Bogard jumped up and down to get herself psyched.
Waving a bit to the ground, she ran down to the ring and jumped in. She made a beeline over to Sol Badguy.
The swordsman saw her. "May I help you?
"Yeah, big guy." Mary said punching her fist into her palm. "I know a threat when I see one. Put that sword of yours and fight me."
Sol couldn't help but smirk. "Flattered. But don't think I am going to go easy on you."
"Oh no… It should be ME who should be going easy on you." Mary said returning the smirk.
"LUCAS!" (SSB)
Coming out to a loud cheer, the blonde psychic jumped at his warm reception he was getting. Taking in a deep breath to calm himself down, he made his way to the ring and jumped in.
Once in, Peach and Fox walked over to him.
"You seem a little nervous, kiddo." Fox said with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, yeah. I mean there ARE quite a few threats in the ring like the bandicoot and the wrestler." Lucas noted. "And the section literally just started."
"Well, don't worry." Peach said warmly. "If you need any help, just ask me, Fox and Diddy to help you out."
Lucas blinked twice before looking in a direction. Peach and Fox looked confused and turned to where Lucas was watching.
Diddy was still eating his banana. Once he was done, he threw it behind him where Tails stepped up it and slipped. The other Smashers blinked twice.
"Um… Two out of three isn't bad." Peach muttered.
"ASCH THE BLOODY!" (To)
To a loud cheer from the fan-girls, the red-haired swordsman glared at the arena scanning it.
"That replica isn't in a while." Asch noted before walking down. "But if anyone thinks an early draw is going to stop me from showing the strength of the original, he got another thing coming!"
Once in, he did his Demon Fang move at Blaze. However, the purple cat saw the attack coming and leaped out of the way.
"And what may I ask is YOUR issue?" Blaze asked with a raised eyebrow.
"So far you have the most eliminations." Asch said pointing his sword at her. "How? I don't know. What I DO know is that score ends."
Blaze narrowed her eyes before summoning a flame in her hand. "You seem confident. But let's see it's misplaced when you deal with my flames."
"WAVE THE SWALLOW!" (StH)
The purple mechanic of the Babylon Rouges stood on the ramp with her board in one hand and a wrench in the other. She smirked already deciding on her opponent.
She then walked down to the arena to see Gemel helping Tails up after Diddy's banana act.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Tripped up by the oldest trick in the book." Wave smirked walking over getting their attention. "I am surprised you had even got one elimination let alone survive two sections!"
Gemel growled at this. "Hey, don't talk that way to Tails! He had been going on adventures long before Extreme Gear races had been formed!"
"And yet he only got two of his own games." Wave smirked. "Which sucked by the way."
Tails growled at this. "Gemel, go try to find another opponent."
"A-Are you sure?" The robot asked.
"Positive." Tails said sternly.
Gemel blinked twice before walking off. "All right. Good luck."
"You too." Tails said not taking his head off of the still-smirking Wave.
"Good. He is angry." Wave thought. "This should be fun."
(Hotel; Hallway)
Jet the Hawk and Storm the Albatross watched the scene from a screen placed on the ceiling.
"Ha! Wave is going to wipe the floor with fox-boy! Right, boss?" Storm grinned.
"Yeah. She shouldn't have that much trouble." Jet said with a small shrug.
Storm frowned at this before turning to his leader. "You don't seem that excited for Wave, boss."
"Well, don't get me wrong. I am crossing my fingers for the Babylon Rouges to demolish everyone in the ring." Jet said before smirking. "But I am excited for one thing most of all."
Storm raised an eyebrow. "Your rematch with Sonic?"
"Of course!" Jet grinned rubbing his hands together. "Then, and only then will we prove that I am the fastest thing alive!"
Storm blinked twice. "But… How will you prove that you are the fasting thing ever if you and Sonic are in the ring? The arena is big but not that big to have a race."
Jet's arrogant face vanished before he glared at the larger bird. "S-Shut up!"
Unknown to the two, a figure was standing behind them.
"S-Sorry, boss. I didn't mean to make you mad." Storm said hanging his head.
"Bah! So what if this is a fighting tournament and not a racing one?" Jet snapped. "I am sure to use my speed to beat that loser!"
"And I would be cheering you on!" Storm grinned.
Jet chuckled at this. "That's right! Nobody is going to take me down!"
That was the last thing he said before someone grabbing both of their heads and slammed them together knocking him out.
Ganondorf smirked darkly as he watched the two birds collapse on the floor. Behind him, Nina Cortex coolly crossed her arms.
"Remind me again when we need these two schmucks." Nina asked. "Looks more like losers to me."
Ganondorf merely shrugged. "Bison said that Kurow guy specifically asked for the following people to "recruit"."
"I don't know that the creep is thinking." Nina said putting her hands behind her back. "Seriously. There are only a few of these so-called recruits that I find useful."
"I think that Kurow boy has his head on straight." Ganondorf said picking up Jet and Storm by the scruff on their necks.
"His closest ally is that Momo kid." Nina said flatly.
Ganondorf's face fell. "Good point."
(The Arena)
"CARL CLOVER!" (BB)
The audience gaped in awe. Not at the young boy with glasses, a purple cat and a matching top hat. But at the strange purple female-like robot marionette behind him.
"Hmm… A few easy targets but a few threats too." Carl noted. He then noticed someone. "Oh, sis! I think I found our first opponent!"
With that, he walked down to the ring with his sister, Ada following. Once they were both in, they both headed over to Sol Badguy who was still fighting Mary.
The flame-wielder saw them coming and raised an eyebrow. "Well, that's new. Even for my node's standards."
"Ah, Sol Badguy." Carl said adjusting his glasses. "You had made quite the bounty for yourself."
"What's it to ya, squirt?" Sol said rudely.
"Well, while my age says otherwise, I am a bounty hunter." Carl said. "And my sis and I will love to keep you in."
"Hey! Haven't you seen previous tournaments?" Mary snapped. "Interrupting fights never went well for anyone!"
"Very well. Let's make it a four-way." Carl smirked.
Sol merely rolled his eyes. "Figures. I can't go ANYWHERE without running into guys like you."
"AYAME!" (PS)
The green-clad ninja jumped out of the ready room and waved cheerfully to the crowd. Despite her bright expression, she didn't really like her chances.
"Wang-Tang is one of our best fighters and he got eliminated by one of those Waku people." Ayame lamented. "I hope that this isn't a sign of what will happen for us."
Once she leaped in, Espio walked over to her raising an eyebrow.
"So you are Power Stone's resident ninja?" Espio quizzed.
"Yep!" Ayame said cheerfully.
"Don't take this the wrong way but light green is a HORRIBLE colour for a ninja to wear." Espio said.
Ayame growled at this but then smirked. "And I suppose purple is much better."
Espio's eyes widened before looking down at the canvas blushing in shame.
"Red isn't making it any better, buddy."
(My Little Pony)
(My Little Pony)
Half of the fighters stopped what they were doing once they heard the music.
"And now, Mystery Fighter… Number… Five!"
"RAINBOW DASH!" (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)
(My Little Pony)
(I always wondered)
(What friendship might be)
(My Little Pony)
(Until you all shared)
(Its magic with me)
The blue Pegasus with the rainbow-coloured mane gave a confident smirk before playing to the cheering crowd. As she continuing her show-boating, half of the fighters stared at her eyes with wide eyes.
"You have…" Asch said.
"Got to be…" Crunch added.
"Kidding me…" Sol concluded.
(Announcer's Booth)
SSBFreak and Orange-Ratchet stared at Tinyrocket who merely stared at his clipboard.
"Um…" Orange-Ratchet said.
Suddenly, Tinyrocket put his clipboard over his head as if his fellow hosts were going to smack him. "DON'T JUDGE ME!"
(The Arena)
After a minute of showing off, Rainbow Dash had finally stepped in the arena. She was about to go fight Fox until she had heard laughter. She turned to see Wave laughing her head off.
"Are you serious? Are you freaking serious?" Wave laughed. "Is the host even trying with the Mystery Fighters! My Little Pony? Come on! Easy elimination ever! Ah ha ha!"
That was when she was suddenly spinning around in place very fast. She spun straight into a turnbuckle where she crashed hard.
Seeing dusted off her hooves after she had literally flew circles around Wave with a smirk before continuing on her journey to Fox.
"TEAR GRANTS!" (To)
The brunette heroine of Tales of the Abyss came out to a loud cheer. Tear coolly straightened out her hair before heading down to the ring with her staff in her hand and a stoic look on her face.
Once in, she made her way over to Asch.
Asch noticed her coming over and merely rolled his eyes. "Let me guess. I assume that you want to double-team, right?"
Tear promptly crossed her arms. "Oh, come now. If I was Natalia, you wouldn't even hesitate."
Asch immediately blushed at this. "S-Shut up!"
Tear sighed as she shook her head. "Fine. Just help me seek out any big threats."
"Well, this woman got the most eliminations so far." Asch said pointing with his sword.
Tear turned her head. Her uncovered eye widened when she saw Blaze having two fireballs in her hands.
Asch saw her expression and shook his head. "I know. I am surprised she did this well too."
"She…" Tear said softly. "She's so cute."
"ROBERTO MIURA!" (RS)
The soccer player dribbled a ball with his feet with his trademark visor blocking his eyes.
"Hmm… Shoma said that he would have been back at the locker room and yet he never came…" Roberto mused. "I hope that he hasn't got into a fight. Even though I may be hoping for too much."
Kicking the ball backs into his hands, he decided not to think about it right now. Something tells me he would find out sooner or later anyway.
After he leaped in, he kicked his ball at Peach. However, the princess had seen the attack coming.
Leaping up into the air, she surprised everyone by kicking the ball as a rapid speed back at Roberto. The young man ducked under the attack to avoid getting smashed into the face.
"How… How did you do that move?" Roberto asked in disbelief. "Especially when wearing a dress and high-heels?"
Peach merely smirked as she crossed her arms. "I guess holding all of those sports tournaments paid out for me in the end."
"WORMMON!" (DRA)
The green worm-like Digimon nervously made his way down to the ring. Looking around at all the fighters, he nervously gulped.
"I just hope I am not going in over my head." Wormmon lamented.
He then jumped in. However, the minute he stepped in, a stray bomb from Bean came out of nowhere and exploded sending him across the ring. (Who was Bean aiming at in the first place was anyone's guess.)
Wormmon screamed until he landed hard on the ground staring at the arena lights dizzily.
Suddenly, Lucas came into his line of vision.
"Um, hey." Wormmon said.
"Hey." Lucas said.
"Listen, can I double-team with you for a while?" Wormmon asked. "I think it is obviously but I am not really liking my chances."
"Well, to be honest, I am not feeling so hot myself." Lucas sighed. "Sure. We'll double-team for a bit."
"Oh, thank you." Wormmon said in relief.
"TINY TIGER!" (CB)
Crunch's eyes bugged out before glaring up at the entrance curtain. "Are you freaking serious! I literally just got rid of Nash!"
The muscular tiger grinned showing each and every one of his sharp teeth. Cracking his knuckles, he saw his target and charged over to the ramp leaping in. He then made a beeline towards Crunch.
"Tiny glad Crunch still in ring!" Tiny said punching his fists together. "Tiny want rematch!"
"What is with me running into sore losers like you?" Crunch asked in disbelief.
"Now see here, comrade!" Zangief scolded. "It is very unsportsmanlike to accept a rematch even though the victor had already been determined!"
"Yeah! Underwear Man is right!" Tiny snapped. "Tiny want rematch to show that Tiny had gotten stronger!"
"As a fighter and a man, you should fight him." Zangief scolded. "Especially when that person is on the same level as you in muscle!"
"Yes, Tiny just as big as Crunch!" Tiny pointed out.
Crunch looked back and forth between the two of them before slapping his head. This was going to be a long night.
(Dome; Restaurant)
The restaurant owner merely sighed as he watched his latest customer eat a bunch of food.
Impmon stuffed a bunch of junk food into his mouth.
"Man, these things are great!" Impmon gulped. "I could eat a dozen of these!"
"You already did." The restaurant owner said grumpily.
"Hey, hey, hey! What is rule number one?" Impmon snapped. "The customer is always right! Which means rule number two means YOU are always wrong!"
"Hey!" The owner snapped.
"Aw, shut up and make me happy!" Impmon snapped before stuffing a doughnut in his mouth.
The owner growled before going out back as the imp continued eating. Impmon had never been known for being Mr. Nice Guy. Then again, even good Virus-type Digimon (with some exceptions) tend to be jerks sometimes. Though the other Digimon agreed that they rather have Impmon fight with them than against them. Impmon stuffed a pretzel into his mouth while humming a jovial tune.
Unfortunately, little did he knew that his meal time was about to be interrupted.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Suddenly, the pile of junk food into front of Impmon exploded sending him back out of his chair onto his back. Thankfully, he had already swallowed the food in his mouth before the assault. Otherwise, he would have choked.
Groaning, he sat up to see what the heck just happened.
There, he found Pinstripe Potoroo standing in the doorway with a smoking Tommy Gun with Koala Kong by his side. Impmon didn't need to think twice about what had happened.
"Oops… Did I ruin your lunchtime, kiddo?" Pinstriple taunted.
Impmon immediately jumped up in his place furious. "Hey, what the heck did you do that for?"
"Our boss would like to see you." Pinstripe sneered. "Come with us, nice and clean and you won't be harmed."
"Up yours! Like heck I am going with you after you shot at me!" Impmon snapped.
"Kid, kid, kid! You wound me!" Pinstripe said shaking his head. "If I wanted to kill you, I would have aimed for your big mouth to blow out your vocal chords."
Kong raised an eyebrow at this. "Does that mean you LET Crash win when you fought him?"
Pinstripe's smirk vanished. "Shut it!"
Kong shook his head before stepping forward. "Okay, kiddo! Here is how things are going to work. I am going to drag you by the scruff of your bandana all the way to our boss and we won't hurt you."
Impmon growled at this. "What? You think you are bigger than me means you are stronger! Heck, no! And who are you calling a kid? I am too good to go to school!"
Kong growled at this. "He is extremely obnoxious."
"Yep. Kong, grab the kid. No way am I carrying that kicking and screaming runt." Pinstripe said.
Kong rolled his eyes before stepping forward towards Impmon.
"Bada-Boom!"
Suddenly, Kong staggered back after receiving a fireball to the chest. Holding his now hot chest, he glared at Impmon to see him holding a fireball with two fingers with a smirk on his face.
"What? Didn't think I was so feisty, didya?" Impmon sneered.
Kong growled as he cracked his knuckles. "All right, kid! You asked for it!"
Pinstripe merely rolled his eyes. "Seriously, man? You are throwing a petty fit at a kid? No wonder you haven't seen work for a while."
"What's the matter, pretty-boy? Afraid that your toy gun would not be enough to stop me?"
Pinstripe's eyes widened before he narrowed them. "Oh, that's it, runt! It is ON!"
(The Arena)
"CLARK STILL!" (KoF: MI)
Adjusting his shades so they wouldn't fall off, the blonde mercenary walked towards the ring with a stern look on his face.
As he got in, Zangief noticed him and made him way over.
"I heard of you. You are supposed to be one of the best grapplers in the KOF tournament" Zangief asked in disbelief.
"Heh. Never thought my fighting style had gotten its own reputation." Clark said. "I AM yet proud of my skills."
"Yes. But can you face the Red Cyclone?" Zangief said pumping his fingers in the air.
"I don't care if you are the Black Tornado." Clark said punching his fist. "I'll take on any challenger!"
Zangief gave a hearty laugh. "That is what I want to hear!"
"And now… Mystery Fighter… Number Six!"
"TAI-LUNG!" (Kung-Fu Panda)
The snow leopard came out to a mixed reaction (though the cheers are bigger than the boos). However, it didn't pay it much mind. In fact, he focused all of his time scanning the arena.
"The hosts had banned me from using my pressure point attacks." Tai-Lung said before smirking. "No matter. I need to give these people a decent shot after all."
Getting on all fours, he ran towards the arena and leaped in without a second thought. He then did a flying kick towards Sol who had managed to slip away from Mary and Carl.
Sol had managed to block the kick in time. "Let me guess. You think I am a threat?"
"That and you are one of the very few who is worthy of my time." Tai-Lung noted doing a martial arts bow. "Please. Do not show that I was wrong."
Sol rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I'll play with you for a while, kitty."
"Good. Our fight shall be bathed in the blood of the honourable!" Tai-Lung cried getting into a fighting position.
"If it's not the bounty hunters or cops, I get freaks like these. Why?"
"EMIL CASTAGNIER!" (To)
The blonde boy nervously scanned the arena after coming out of the Ready Room.
"Oh no… What have I gotten myself into?" He asked himself as he started walking. "Why didn't I refuse the invitation when I had the chance?"
As he was stepping down in a very slow manner, Diddy noticed this and got a sneaky idea in his head. Running towards Emil, the monkey leaped onto at Emil when he just got into the arena and latched onto his face.
Giving a lot of muffled screams, Emil ran around in circles trying to get the monkey off of him. Soon, he had succeeded throwing Diddy onto the floor.
Diddy got up expecting to see a horrified face.
Instead he found that Emil's green eyes had turned red and he was giving out an out-of-character ferocious glare at him.
"I heard that monkey brains are actually a delicacy in some parts." Emil said getting out his sword out of his sheath. "Let's see how yours taste."
Diddy yelped before he turned tail and ran away as fast as he can.
"AXL LOW!" (GG)
The British time-traveller threw one of his chained scythe in himself with a big grin on his face. He then ran down to the ring and bounded in without a second thought.
He made a beeline for Sol. "Hey, Sol! Long time, no see!"
Sol slashed at Tai-Lung only for him to dodge it and give him a hard kick. "Axl! Do you really think now is the best time to talk!"
"Glad to see you haven't changed a bit." Axl grumbled. "Now what?"
Suddenly, a bomb fell into his hands. Axl's pupils shrank.
BOOM!
Bean grinned as he watched Axl fly across the ring screaming his head off.
"Now THAT'S what I like to call… A Big Ben Boom!" The duck laughed. Sol and Tai Lung immediately stop what they were doing to groan.
"HOKUTO!" (ST: EX)
The brunette fighter bowed to the crowd before she elegantly made her way down to the ring.
Tear saw the woman come in and got out a knife. She then threw at Hokuto.
However, Hokuto easily swerved out of the way to avoid the attack before she glared at Tear.
"It is going to take a lot more than that to kill me." Hokuto warned.
"I wasn't trying to kill you. I was being trying to see how you would react." Tear said.
"Well, now you know." Hokuto said getting into a stance. "Now will you back off?"
"No. If anything, this made me MORE determined to fight you." Tear said readying her staff.
"Very well. I accept your challenge." Hokuto said sternly. "Let's begin."
"And now, the final fighter of this section…"
"LINK!" (SSB)
The blonde green-clad swordsman came out to a loud cheer. Readying his sword and shield, he nodded to himself with a smirk before making his way down to the ring.
With a leap, he was in. He then ran over to the fight between Chloe and Dhalsim. Using his grappling hook, he grabbed Dhalsim and pulled him towards him just to boot him away.
"Hey! What was THAT for?" Chloe demanded.
"I wanted a fight with a sword-fighter and I decided to choose you." Link said with a shrug.
"I know the feeling of wanting to try my weapon against other people's swords." Chloe said before narrowing her eyes. "But that does not give you the right to interrupt a fight like that."
"Well, excuuuuuuse me, princess." Link said rolling his eyes causing a huge mixed reaction from the crowd.
Chloe blinked twice. "I am suddenly seeing why you are mute in the games."
"Hey!"
