"Sword Rain!"
Luigi yelped as he watched Woodrow Kelvin blocked a series of stabs with his sword from Caius' own weapon.
"Caius, what had gone into you!?" Woodrow demanded. "This isn't like you!"
"It's-a no use." Luigi said shaking his head. "He is being controlled."
Woodrow looked back in surprise. "What!?"
Luigi was about to explain until Kurow Kirishima came out of nowhere and slashed at the plumber. Luigi yelped narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Uh-uh. Nobody likes a tattletale." Kurow taunted.
"G-Get away from me!" Luigi demanded.
"After you had joined a group to stop our plans?" Kurow smirked. "I don't think so."
Ragna the Bloodedge yelped as he raised his giant sword to block Judas' weapons.
"Get… Get away from me, you ghost!" Ragna demanded.
Judas narrowed his eyes. "How did you know I was a ghost?"
Ragna's face fell as he shoved Judas back. "The mutt cowering behind me told me."
As if on cue, Blitz poked his head from behind Ragna.
"It doesn't matter. You know something you were not supposed to do." Judas said darkly. "Now to make sure you don't tell anyone else, I have to kill you."
Ragna quickly raised his sword to block another attack from Judas before glaring at Blitz. "Why did you tell this guy his secret? Now he wants to kill ME!"
The Doberman shrank in fear. "Because I don't want to die!"
"Aw, shut up and help me!" Ragna roared sending a dark image of a head at Judas. "Dead Spike!"
(Announcer's Booth)
"Why is Judas so intent on attacking Ragna and Blitz?" Orange-Ratchet asked.
"I think Ragna and Blitz had figured out that Judas is Leon Magnus brought back from the dead." Tinyrocket said not taking his eyes off of a list.
SSBFreak blinked twice. "What? Same hairstyle. Same voice. Same choice of weapons. Heck, I don't even play any of the Tales games and I know enough to know that Judas and Leon are related in some way."
"That is the least of my worries." Tinyrocket frowned.
"Why? What's wrong?" Orange-Ratchet asked.
"I just got off the phone." Tinyrocket frowned. "Apparently, the remaining Mystery Fighters had gone into a huge fight and practically everyone is now in the Recovery Room."
"You're kidding!" SSBFreak said in disbelief. "All of them!"
"Yep." Tinyrocket frowned.
"Now what?" Orange-Ratchet frowned.
Tinyrocket paused for a moment. "Orange, I want you to do me a huge favour!"
"Um, sure."
Tinyrocket gave Orange-Ratchet the list. "Here is the list and where certain Mystery Fighters was supposed to fight. Go out into the audience and try to find some people to find people to replace them."
"That's a great idea, actually!" SSBFreak said. "That way, we could replace the Mystery Fighters before the night is done."
Orange-Ratchet paused before nodding. "Okay, I'll do it."
Tinyrocket watched him leave. "For now, just find two replacements as quick as possible for the next section!"
"That reminds me." SSBFreak said. "Didn't you said that you are going to take away the Big Guy status off of some people."
"Yeah, we have so many Big Guys that we had to take away a few titles." Tinyrocket sighed.

Ally Gator groaned as she slowly fluttered open her eyes.
"Well, well. The Sleeping Beauty had finally awoken."
Ally's eyes widened as she jumped up. Or at least she tied to. Looking down, she found herself tied to a chair with chains. Looking around, she found her fellow security team members tied to chairs. Looking up, she saw Vega, Hazama and Barbatos looking down at them.
"You! Let go of us!" Ally demanded.
"Us? Let go of you after you had been doing nothing but be killjoys?" Hazama asked coolly. "I think that cap is on too tight dearie."
"Yes, you had been sticking your nose into other people's business for far too long, dearie." Vega said smirking behind his mask.
"What is with you guys? It is our job!" Hunter snapped.
"Well, now you are going to have a new job." Hazama smirked. "Being our laptops!"
"Be YOUR lapdogs? Ha! I rather eat dirt!" Ally snapped.
Barbatos scoffed. "Don't act like you will have much a choice."
Vivi's eyes widened. "Are you going to brainwash us?"
"Well, well, well. There is a brain underneath all of that darkness." Hazama taunted.
"Fortunately for you, Kurow is in the arena and may not be back for a while." Barbatos said.
"In the meantime, you can think about retiring because you suck at being a security team." Hazama taunted.
"Hey!" Kanji snarled.
"It's the truth!" Hazama smirked.
"We had wasted enough time." Vega said turning to Barbatos. "Barbatos, stay here and make sure that they don't escape until Kurow gets here."
The dark-skinned man nodded. "Very well."
Vega nodded before he and Hazama left the room.
"You are never going to get away with this!" Kanji roared.
Barbatos merely smirked. "Where have I heard that before?"
The others snarled at this. However, Ally shook her head in hopelessness.
"Why is this happening?" Ally said in defeat.
(The Arena)
Rick Strowd ducked underneath a sword slash. Lashing out his fist, he punched Lloyd Irving in the stomach. The brown-haired teen winced stepping back. Deciding to try again, Lloyd did a vertical slash. This time, it caught Rick by surprise catching him in the torso.
Despite in pain, Rick did his best to ignore the pain by doing a back hop followed by a charging fist. Lloyd yelped before quickly using his swords to block the incoming fist. Rick cringed recoiling his throbbing head. Lloyd saw this chance and slammed his handle into Rick's forehead causing him to stagger back.
"You are pretty good." Lloyd noted. "Especially since you literally just use your fists. How come you never had a comeback?"
"There is not a day in my life where I haven't asked that question." Rick said shaking his head.
Deciding to continue the battle, he ran forward and did a straight-forward punch. Lloyd swerved his head to the side avoiding the attack and slammed the handle of his sword into his chest. Lloyd then followed it up with a shoulder to the face.
"Beast!" Lloyd shouted sending a ghostly figure of a lion's head into Rick sending him flying away. Rick sprawled around the ground for a moment before weakly getting up. Shaking his head, he growled before deciding to try again.
"Demon Fang!" Lloyd shouted swinging his sword sending a shockwave at Rick.
"Oh please!" Rick said easily leaping over the attack. "That is just Terry's Power Wave done with a weapon!"
With that, he lunged forward doing an uppercut to Lloyd's chin sending him flying into the air. When the twin swordsman was coming down, Rick did a forward fist knocking Lloyd down. Lloyd weakly got up. However, he snapped out of his daze in time to jump back from an incoming uppercut.
"Grave Blade!" Lloyd shouted slamming his blade on the ground striking Rick with a few rocks. Seeing his chance, Lloyd thrust his sword forward.
"Hurricane Thrust!" He yelled sending a small burst of wind knocking Rick away. The white-haired boxer flew backwards until he landed into a turnbuckle. Rick quickly got up holding his head. Seeing this, Lloyd jumped up into the air.
Rick snapped out of his daze and quickly dashed forward to stop the attack but he was too late.
"Rising Phoenix!" Lloyd shouted descending downwards in form of a burning phoenix. The attack hurt the ground in front of Rick forcing the Native-American onto his back. Rick struggled to get back up but collapsed on his face stunned.
Lloyd smirked. "Sorry, it looks like you have to prove yourself out of the arena.
With that, he picked up Rick and threw him out of the ring.
Rick landed in Punch-Out! where he challenged Mr. Sandman to a match. He was promptly beat down into the canvas.
Part of the audience looked in disbelief. A half-naked man was doing the breast-stroke to swim in mid-air avoiding the barrage of missiles being thrown at him.
Nagare Namikawa landed on the ground and calmly turned his head towards N. Gin holding a bazooka in his hands.
"Hold still and let me hit you!" N. Gin growled putting away his bazooka and getting out a blaster.
He then fired several shots at Nagare who made weird stretching poses easily avoiding the attack. N. Gin looked in awe before growling and taking a few more shots. Nagare just kept dodging until a stray shot hit him in the chest.
Seeing this, N. Gin smirked before firing a few more shots striking Nagare a few more times.
"Not going to miss you!" He shouted getting out his bazooka and firing a missile from it.
Thankfully, Nagare had snapped out of his daze in time to see the projectile coming. Leaping like a frog, he easily jumped over the attack. He then swam in MID-AIR towards the battle between Luigi and Woodrow against Kurow and Caius.
"Oh no! You don't!" N. Gin said shooting blaster shots in Nagare's path.
Surprisingly, this made Nagare stop himself and land on the ground.
"There is no way I am letting you interrupt that fight!" N. Gin growled. "If I do, Dr. Cortex would kill me!"
Nagare stood calmly. "Well, I am afraid that I cannot allow you to stop me."
N. Gin snarled before firing a few more missiles at Nagare. However, the swimmer swam in mid-air. Using his strange way of movement, he easily gave his way past the missiles.
Once he was close enough, he smacked N. Gin in the face with the flipper on his hand. N. Gin staggered back a couple of steps before recovering.
He then put his hands on his hips. "Are you for real? That didn't hurt me! If you call yourself a fighter, then you BETTER hit me!"
Nagare paused for a moment. He then thought about something.
"All right. I show you how strong water can be." He said.
He then made his way towards N. Gin and turned around. Doing something of backstroke, he smacked N. Gin in the face multiple times with the mad scientist writhing with glee the entire time. Once Nagare was done, he did a drop-kick to N. Gin sending him back.
"THANK YOUUUUU!" cried before falling into a portal.
N. Gin landed in Street Fighter IV where he met Juri. Let's just say the two form an interesting "friendship".
Nagare paused. "What a strange little individual."
The swimmer then shrugged before making his way towards Luigi and Woodrow to help them fight off Kurow and Caius. As he did so, he past Vector upper-cutting Rai out of the ring (and into Excitebike where he landed a ten-bike pileup.)
"Power Wave!"
Sailor Jupiter thought quickly and leaped over a shockwave. Narrowing her eyes, she ran forward.
"Burning Knuckle!"
This time however, she was taken off-guard taking a rushed fist to the face. Sailor Jupiter sprawled backwards a bit until she weakly sat up looking up. She then saw Terry Bogard advancing cracking his knuckles.
"Face it, woman! Fatigue is getting a hold of ya!" Terry smirked.
Sailor Jupiter snarled before getting up. "Hey! I can still fight! I had scored eight eliminations, didn't I?"
"That is why you are going to lose." Terry pointed out. "You had wasted your energy trying to eliminate them."
Sailor Jupiter's pupils shrank realizing that Terry was right. She was weakening. She was so stunned that she almost didn't notice Terry's fist flying at her. With a yelp, she ducked underneath the attack but was left open to a knee to the face. As Sailor Jupiter staggered back, Terry ran forward.
"Fire Kick!" Terry shouted launching a flaming foot into Sailor Jupiter's stomach. The Sailor Scout flew backwards until she landed hard back-first into the turnbuckle. Sailor Jupiter groaned before getting up holding her arm. Terry decided to take the brunette out of her misery and safely boot her out of the ring.
However, just as Terry was about to do so, Sailor Jupiter grabbed his leg and swung him into the turnbuckle hard. Terry grunted in pain as he landed onto his back. Sailor Jupiter crouched down and started to punch his face in.
Terry winced before kicking his leg out of desperation. Catching Sailor Jupiter in the stomach, the green and white-clad girl staggered back. Terry quickly flipped onto his feet.
"Are you OK?" Terry shouted pulling his fist back.
Sailor Jupiter blinked twice. "Um, that's a weird question to ask…"
Suddenly, she realized what Terry meant.
"BUSTAH WOLF!"
The crowd went wild as a burst of energy came out of Terry's fist. Once the energy had cleared, Sailor Jupiter was nowhere to be seen.
"And that is the end of that." Terry smirked.
"Indeed, it is."
Terry's eyes widened in horror before turning around but it was too late. Sailor Jupiter who had managed to escape the attack in time sent a large upper-cut to Terry's chin sending him flying out of the ring.
Terry landed in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe where he was forced to fend himself against an army of wolves.
Mike Hagger blinked twice while eyeing his opponent. Or rather opponents.
Pikachu and Pichu were both looking up at him with bright smiles on their faces.
"Doesn't seem right fighting something that I could easily make road-kill out of with one accidentally step." Hagger said crossing his arms. "How about you go fight someone… Who ISN'T ten times bigger than you?"
Pikachu and Pichu didn't listen. Pichu did a leaping head-butt into Hagger's leg while Pikachu whipped the other one with his tail.
Hagger staggered back with a sigh. "If you are THAT eager to fight."
With that, he did a mighty stomp on the ground making a small tremor. Pikachu and Pichu shrieked before flying into the air. Hagger had caught Pikachu in mid-air with one hand.
Pichu on the other hand landed on top of Hagger's arm. Seeing his older form in trouble, Pichu narrowed his eyes before zapping the muscleman's arm. Hagger cried in pain letting go Pikachu. As he did so, the two electric rodents scampered around Hagger's large body.
"H-Hey!" Hagger snarled. "That is annoying me!"
The two didn't listen. In fact, they only stopped when on top of Hagger's shoulder. Looking around at each other and nodding, they both sent an electric shock straight into Hagger. The mayor cried in pain taking the attack head-on.
However while being shocked, he gave an annoyed snarl.
Stretching out his arms, he spun around in place. People cheered knowing that it was his trademark Spinning Lariat. Pikachu and Pichu hanged on for dear life trying to fall off.
However, they were both sent flying in opposite directions. Pikachu crashed into a turnbuckle while Pichu flew to the other side of the arena. Hagger smirked before making his way over to Pikachu. The mouse quickly looked up to see Hagger.
"You sure are persistent." Hagger noted picking up Pikachu. "But persistence is nothing without strength and skill."
However, the yellow Pokemon quickly charged himself full of electricity zapping Hagger's hand. The ex-wrestler yelped dropping Pikachu who landed on his feet.
"PIKA!"
Pikachu summoned a bolt of thunder onto himself zapping Hagger in the progress. Despite his large stature, it was more than enough to send him out of the ring.
Hagger landed in Pokemon. He promptly pile-drived a Garchomp that attacked him.
Pikachu nodded before looking around for Pichu. He then spotted his baby form electrocuting Vulcano Russo out of the ring (and into Soul Calibur where he got into a fight with Maxi over hairstyles.) Sighing in relief, he scampered over.
(Recovery Room)
Nurse Joy looked around in disbelief as the various Mystery Fighters Tiny mentioned being mended up.
"How come so many fighters get into such a shuffle out of the ring?" Nurse Joy asked in disbelief.
"You're new here, aren't you?" Aila said flatly as she was being patched up.
Then, the door opened up to reveal Faust coming in.
"Faust!" Jude said running over.
"Ah, Jude." The bag-head said. "I had come to bring good news. When looking for a cure for Blaze, I had undercover a very large group determined to stop it."
"Large group?" Aila asked. "Does it involve Shadow the Hedgehog and Astaroth?"
"Oh, you are familiar with this?" Faust said turning to the archer.
"Yeah, that Shoma guy told me about it." Aila said.
"What a coincidence! I had come here to pick up him along with a couple of other people!" Faust sid smiling underneath his bag. "Don't worry, Blaze. We will cure you in no time."
As he said this, he looked over at Blaze's bed. Only to find it empty.
Faust tilted his head in confusion. "Where's Blaze?"
"That is what I had been trying to tell you!" Jude said. "Blaze had vanished."
Faust looked down at the young boy. "What!?"
"Yeah. One minute she was in her bed, the next minute she was gone." Jude exclaimed.
Faust looked around frantically. "Where could she had gone!?"
(Dome; Hallway)
"Am I insane yet? Am I insane yet? Am I insane yet?"
"For the last time, yes!"
While Jivatma was a very patient man, he couldn't help but be annoyed by Kraken's constant whining. Tiny was also getting irritated by the pirate's attitude.
"Well, can you blame me for going insane?" Kraken complained. "I had been going around in circles for hours!"
"Oh, come on!" Jivatma scolded. "It haven't been THAT long!"
"Yes, it has!" Kraken whined.
Tiny growled. "Tiny annoyed by annoying pirate's whining!"
"Oh, let your speech pattern is sooo pleasing on the ears!" Kraken said rolling his eyes.
Tiny's eyebrow twitched. "Pirate shut up or Tiny knock you out!"
"Because that is all you can do!" Kraken said rolling his eyes.
"Um, why did Bison invited these losers again?"
The three stopped before looking to Nagase leaning against a wall with her arms crossed in a bored fashion.
"Nagase! Where are Momo and Wave?" Jivatma asked.
The ninja looked to the side. "I dunno."
Jivatma put his hand on his head. "Why had I trusted you to be with a team?"
"Hey, I am only in it for the thrills." Nagase shrugged. "That's all. Besides, it doesn't matter."
Jivatma crossed his arms. "Oh? And why is that?"
Nagase merely smirked.
"We had found the power source."
Tiny's eyes bugged out in horror as Jivatma and Kraken looked surprised.
"Don't play with me, kid." Kraken said. "Is it found?"
"Don't believe me. Ask Eggman Nega." Nagase said jerking her thumb behind her. "He wanted me to tell everyone."
"About time!" Kraken said throwing up his hands in disbelief.
"Indeed. Now perhaps we get to see this power in action." Jivatma said.
Tiny on the other hand shook his head in horror.
"Blaze…"
(The Arena)
"Moon Glare!"
Ragna quickly raised his sword to block a couple of slashes from Judas' sword and knife. Shoving his sword forward, he shoved Judas back. As he did so, he looked behind him to glare at a cowering Blitz.
"Well?" Ragna asked.
"Well what?" Blitz asked not liking where she was going.
"Aren't you going to do anything to help?" Ragna growled.
"Are you out of your mind!?" Blitz said in disbelief. "He is a vengeful ghost! I can't fight a vengeful ghost!"
Ragna snarled before stomping over to Blitz and grabbing him by the neck lifting him up.
"Look, you mangy mutt. The reason he is after me is because he thinks I am protecting you!" Ragna snarled. "Which means it is YOUR fault I am in this mess!"
Blitz looked behind Ragna. "Um, sir?"
"No! Aren't you supposed to be man's best friend?" The white-haired man snapped. "What kind of best friend drag innocent people into fighting ghosts?"
Blitz gulped. "Sir?"
"Now thanks to you, I had to face some crazy loony ghost and…" Ragna said before his eyes widened. "…He is right behind me, isn't he?"
Blitz weakly nodded. Ragna took a deep gulp before slowing turning around to see Judas casting a spell.
"Trinity Spark!" Judas shouted summoning three balls of electricity forming a triangle. They then launched electric bolts at Ragna knocking him away.
Blitz gaped before seeing Judas lunge at him. Shrieking like a child, he raised his claws to block Judas' weapon. Acting out of desperation, he kicked Judas in the stomach stunning him. Blitz then scratched him in the chest.
Judas staggered back holding his chest. "It is going to take much more than that to slow me down!"
"Get away from me!" Blitz snapped slashing forward. Judas quickly parried it with his sword before slashing out with his knife.
Everyone looked in horror as Blitz stood in head-less. Even Judas looked a bit stunned.
"Wow… I didn't think it would actually behead him." Judas said in awe.
That was until the headless form of Blitz punching Judas in the face causing him to stagger back. Ragna watched in horror as Blitz turned towards him.
"Oh no! That ghost had made him a wandering spirit too!" Ragna said in fear. "S-Stay back! I got a big sword!"
Blitz paused for a moment before poking his head out of his uniform showing that his head was inside the whole time.
"Wow. I actually scared you?" Blitz asked as if pleased.
Ragna paused for a moment before looking to the side. "No…"
Rouge PS kicked at Rouge the Bat who parried with her own kick. The formed winced in pain before hopping backwards. Seeing her chance, Rouge the Bat rushed forward kicking Rouge in the stomach and knocking her down.
Suddenly, a parasol whacked her on the head. Rubbing her head, she turned around over for Julia Whitepearl to boot her away. Rouge PS got up.
"Watch out for those kicks." Rouge PS noted. "Those boots aren't just show."
"All right!" Julia said.
Rouge the Bat growled before getting up. Rushing at the other Rouge, she took flight. Thinking quickly, the latter swung her arm sending a wave of fire at the bat. Rouge yelped before quickly kicking at the wave negating it.
However, this left her wide open for a kick from Rouge PS knocking her to the ground. Rouge the Bat groaned sprawling across the canvas before flipping onto her feet. Getting out a gem, she threw it at Rouge PS. The fortune teller got caught up in an explosion being knocking her away.
"Rouge!" Julia gasped.
"You rang?" The bat smirked rushing forward towards the woman.
Julia shrieked before opening her parasol in front of her. Surprisingly, it had managed to block Rouge's kick. Despite startled, the bat continued the assault by spinning herself trying to break through Julia's defences.
Suddenly, Rouge PS came to the rescue kicking the other Rouge away. The secret agent flew backwards before flipping herself in mid-air flapping in mid-air. She glared down at the two Power Stone women.
Then, Ragna came out of nowhere and crashed into Rouge PS knocking her out of the ring. This startled Julia not making her alert to the soaring form of Blitz flying into her knocking her out of the arena as well.
Rouge and Julia landed in Mario Party 7 where they participated in 8-player mini-games.
Rouge blinked twice as Ragna and Blitz held their heads before growling.
"Hey! That was MY opponents you had just eliminated!" Rouge snapped.
"So what's YOUR beef then?" Ragna snarked. "We might have saved you from being eliminated!"
"I am a secret agent and a treasure hunter!" Rouge snapped. "I could had handled the both of them."
Blitz looked up and paled. "Um, Miss. Is this really the best time?"
"What could be so important than…?" Rouge started.
That was when Judas came out of nowhere and punted Rouge out the ring stunning her so she can't fly back.
Rouge landed in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door where she got into an argument with Ms. Mowz.
Woodrow gritted his teeth as he blocked Caius' sword. The two struggled with each other trying to gain ground on each other. Woodrow was extremely grateful that Nagare had gone to help Luigi fend Kurow off. That means he could snap Caius out of his daze.
"Caius, I don't know what that madman had done to you but you have to snap out of it." Woodrow said.
"Why? So because you want me to leave in YOUR shadow?" The teenager taunted.
"Caius, that is not true!" Woodrow said. "I know how much you want Tempest to have a remake or sequel but that is no reason to attack your nodal companions and side with villains!"
"Screw you! You are not the boss of you!" Caius growled. "When I get through with you, you won't be appearing in any crossover titles anytime soon!"
Woodrow sighed before shaking his head. "I don't wish to do this but if literally smacking your head around is the only way to make you come to your senses, so be it."
With that, he broke off the sword struggle and jumped back getting out his bow and arrow shooting a projectile at Caius. Thinking quickly, Caius slashed at the arrow negating it.
"Speed!" Woodrow shouted shooting three arrows at Caius.
"Sword Rain!" Caius shouted stabbing the air repeatedly negating the arrows.
"I have to snap him out of him before he gets enough energy to go into his beast form." Woodrow said casting a spell. "Stream Arrow!"
With that, he summoned green arrows of wind over Caius' head. The projectiles proceeded to pummel Caius knocking him down. Seeing this, Woodrow ran over to see if he was unconscious.
However, Caius wrapped his fingers around his sword.
Slashing his sword, Woodrow yelled before blocking with his bow. However, the sneak attack sent the bow flying out of the ring (where Nanette tripped on it.) With a small growl, he got out his sword.
"Looks like it is close-range for a while." Woodrow muttered.
"Careful not to let ME fall out of the ring." The sword spoke.
Woodrow nodded before running forward. The two Tales swordsmen slashed at each other clashing their weapons trying to gain sword on each other. As the two were fighting, Woodrow noticed that Caius was right behind the edge of the arena. Deciding it was best to just eliminate him for now, he inched Caius.
However, Caius thought quickly before pulled himself backwards startling Woodrow. Grabbing the archer, he threw him over him and straight over the ropes with no hope of returning.
Woodrow landed in Dynasty Warriors where he took down dozens of enemy soldiers.
Kurow grunted in annoyance swerving to the side avoiding a punch from Nagare. Lashing out his claw, he scratched the swimmer in the stomach before kicking him away.
However, he was unable to notice Luigi grab him until it was too late. The green-clad man zapped Kurow with electricity. The white-haired man cried in pain before collapsing on his knees.
"Oh, all right, Kurow. Tell us everything about this plot." Nagare said patting his wound.
Luigi looked surprised at this. "Wait? You know about the plot too?"
"Yes, I am a part of a group trying to stop it." Nagare said. "And our group meets your group and we got told everything."
Luigi's eyes widened. "Really?"
"Yes, and now we have to stop this madman." Nagare said.
Kurow snarled. "Like I would be stopped by a coward and a… freak."
With that, he swung his claw upwards. Luigi and Nagare jumped back to avoid a tornado of razor wind. Surprisingly, Luigi took advantage of Kurow's distraction and ran forward swinging his arms around striking Kurow in the face multiple times.
Nagare followed it up by doing a frog leap and smashing Kurow in the face. The white-haired teenager growled before kicking Nagare twice in the stomach.
He then narrowly back-flipped out of the way of Luigi spinning towards him. Acting quickly, Kurow slashed the cowardly man in the back.
Luigi cried in pain staggering forward. He then turned around getting into a timid fighting stance charging his gloves with electricity. Once again, he chose to attack first.
That was until Caius came out of nowhere and grabbed Luigi taking him up surprise. With a surprising amount of strength, the young man threw him away.
Luigi flew towards the arena for a bit until he landed back-first into something knocking down. With stars around his head, he slowly sat up.
"My, my."
Luigi snapped to attention to see Slayer dusting himself off.
"These types of tournaments certainly have you flying around the arena, doesn't it?" Slayer said with a small smile.
Luigi blinked twice. "V… V…"
Slayer raised an eyebrow. "V?"
"VAMPIRE!"
Luigi immediately jumped in his place and dashed towards Slayer. Spinning himself around, he sent the vampire flying out of the ring.
Slayer landed in Heavy Rain. Blake saw him, freaked out and shot him with his gun. Slayer physically showed him how impolite that was.
Luigi panted heavily holding his neck. Turning around, his eyes widened in horror to see Kurow throw Nagare out of the ring (and into Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time where he actually LIKED the Water Temple.) Kurow turned around with an evil smirk.
"Now… Where were we?" Kurow said.
Luigi gulped nervously.
(Dome; Bar)
The bartender sighed before shaking his head. "They don't pay me enough for this."
Eggman's Egg Walker crashed into the wall. The mad scientist groaned holding his head to get rid of the throbbing. Suddenly, a turnip bounced off of his head. He looked up to see Peach wobbling over.
"Feel that, Mario!" Peach snapped. "That is the pain of betrayal! See how it DOESN'T feel good!"
"For the last freaking time, I am NOT Mario!" Eggman roared.
"Even now…" Peach said with a hiccup. "You continue to lie to my face! Looks like I have to give you more punishment!"
Eggman growled. "I will NOT be bested by a drunken girly-girl!"
With that, he pushed a button on his machine sending a laser straight at Peach. It struck her in the chest sending her flying back crashing into a table.
Peach groaned before getting up. "You dare attack a princess?"
"Hey, YOU attacked me!" Eggman snapped. "This is legit self-defence!"
"Shut up!" Peach snapped wandering over.
Eggman shook his head in disbelief. Pushing the same button, he sent another laser at Peach. However, Peach quickly got out her parasol and did a jump over it. Opening it, she floated straight towards Eggman Mary Poppins-style.
Once near enough, she landed on the vehicle and started to whack Eggman all over his head.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Eggman cried in pain. "Stop that!"
"Not until you had learned your lesson!" Peach said continuing the assault.
Eggman growled before shoving Peach off of him. Peach got up while wobbling to see Eggman advancing forward.
Peach narrowed her eyes. Getting out her frying pan, she ran over to Eggman and smashed in into his machine stopping him in his tracks.
"Ha-CHA!" Peach shouted flying at the machine hip-first causing an explosion of hearts. Eggman staggered back before he had managed to stop himself. With a growl, he pushed a button on his Egg Walker.
This sent missiles flying straight at Peach. The princess narrowed her eyes before getting out a certain retainer from behind her back.
"No, Dr. Eggman!" Toad said taking the missiles. This caused them to fly back towards the overweight man. Eggman screamed before taking the explosions to his machines.
"It is a miracle this place haven't gone bankrupt from all of these damages." The bartender said shaking his head.
Eggman shook his head to get rid of the dizziness before glaring at the guilty party.
"Oh, right! That's it!" Eggman snarled. "No more Mr. Mildly Not Nice Guy!"
With that, he pushed a few buttons on his machine. Then, his machine slowly turned into a machine with tank wheels and a drill in front.
"Oh-ho-ho!" Eggman laughed. "Prepared to be blown away by nostalgia!"
Peach narrowed her eyes before wiping her mouth. Reaching down, she pulled out a turnip and threw it at Eggman.
However, this turnip was black, round and had eyes. Eggman and the bartender's eyes widened in horror realizing what it was.
BOOM!
The Bob-omb gone off with an explosion which knocked Peach onto her rear and forced the bartender to retreat underneath his counter. Several chairs and tables got destroyed sending bits of it everywhere.
Peach looked up as just as the explosion had ceased. Eggman had stars around his head as he was charred all over.
"Mario!" Peach said getting up and stomping over. "Well, now had you learned your lesson!"
"Yes, dearie…" Eggman said dizzily.
Hearing this brought a big dopey grin on Peach's face. Leaping forward, she wrapped her arms around the unconscious form of Dr. Eggman.
"Yay!" Peach said with a hiccup. "Let us never keep secrets from each other again!"
The bartender looked in awe while shaking his head in disbelief. "Where's Jerry Springer when you need him?"
(The Arena)
"Michael on my right!"
Geary yelped as he ducked down to the ground to avoid a ball of electricity. Looking back up, he saw Ninon Beart running over. She promptly kicked him in the face knocking him down and sending him sprawling.
Geary got up furious. "Hey! Do you realize how dirty I could have been if I didn't cleaned the arena!"
"Is this REALLY the part where I am supposed to feel bad?" Ninon asked bluntly.
Geary's eyes turned red in anger. "You insolent little witch!"
With that, he turned his arm into a broom and started to run forward while scrubbing the floor. Ninon rolled her eyes before teleporting out of the way allowing Geary to go through.
"Michael on my right!" Ninon shouted sending a ball of electricity into Geary's back. The cleaning-obsessed cried as he went the elements went through his body. Ninon then ran forward and flipped herself forward kicking Geary in the back twice knocking him down. Geary struggled to get back up.
"Uriel on my left!" Ninon said creating a tornado around her. This had sent Geary flying through the air screaming flapping his wings in a vain attempt to fly. He crashed right back on the ground. Ninon then teleported and landed hand on his back.
Geary cried out in pain before growling. "All right. That does it!"
With that, he leaped back to his feet and swung his broom at Ninon. This actually took the black magician off-guard as she staggered back. Geary smirked before swinging his broom at Ninon's bottom half sweeping off of her feet.
Ninon growled before getting up. "Raphael before me!"
With that, she swung around with her arms spreading out and sending cold wind around her. This struck Geary in the body sending him back a few steps with frost on him.
"Ack! Frost!" Geary said turning his hand into a de-icer to scrape it off. "Good thing I had this installed for that race against Nash in Barin!"
Ninon rolled her eyes before summoning a fireball in her hands. It then zoomed at Geary. The cleaning-obsessed robot yelped before ducking underneath the attack.
Geary sighed in relief. Suddenly, he noticed some smoke coming from around him. Looking at his shoulder, he had noticed an unsightly burn mark on it making him shriek in horror.
"Oh, that's it!" Geary growled. "No matter stains me and get away with it!"
"Oh really? And what are you going to do about it?" Ninon asked with a smirk. "You are just some egoistical home-cleaning robot against someone with the spells of the elements!"
"That may be so, dearie but I notice an element you HAVEN'T used yet." Geary said narrowing his eyes.
"Oh?"
Geary then turned his hand into a gun.
"WATER!"
With that, he sent a large stream of water at Ninon striking her with enough force to sending her flying into the air too stunned to teleport and straight into an elimination portal.
Ninon landed in 8-Bit Theatre. Black Mage noticed her ability in black magic, got jealous and tried to kill her. Yeah, that idea didn't go too far.
Lloyd looked around to see Judas still attacking Ragna and Blitz. Shaking his head in hopelessness, he walked over.
"At this rate, their fight is going to be a hazard to everyone in the ring." Lloyd noted.
However, Judas surprised Ragna with a slash sending him flying straight in front of Lloyd startling him. The white-haired man groaned before looking up. He then noticed Lloyd.
"H-Hey! You are in the same node as that masked guy, right?" Ragna asked in surprise.
"Um, yeah?" Lloyd asked.
Ragna growled before getting up. "Oh great! As if fighting ghosts wasn't bad enough, I have to fight punks with stupid-looking scarfs!"
Lloyd immediately took offence. "Hey! Do not diss the scarf! At least it is original, Dante!"
Ragna's eyebrow twitched. "You asked for it, kid!"
With that, he swung his sword at Lloyd who easily jumped out of the way. Lloyd countered with a slash to the chest. Ragna winced in pain before staggering back.
"Gauntlet Hades!" Ragna shouted spinning around engulfing his free hand in dark energy. Lloyd thought quickly and blocked the attack with his swords. However, Ragna made up for his mistake by having a darkness-engulfed kick find its way into Lloyd's side.
Lloyd staggered back to the side but quickly recovered. "Demonic Chaos!"
With that, he swung his swords like mad sending shockwaves straight at Ragna. The first shockwave literally knocked Ragna off of his feet causing the other ones to strike him when he was done. Ragna groaned getting up with his whole body aching.
Suddenly, Lloyd ran over and slashed at him. Ragna thought quickly blocking with his large sword. He then kicked out his foot catching Lloyd in the stomach. With the twin swordsman stunned, Ragna grabbed Lloyd by his collar and threw him over him slamming him onto the ground.
"Not over yet!" Ragna yelled crouching down and picking up Lloyd. He then gave Lloyd a hard punch to the gut. Lloyd staggered back holding his gut in pain. (How he did so without cutting himself was anyone's guess.) Ragna smirked.
"Dead Spike!" Ragna shouted swinging his sword summoning a demonic demon's head from the ground sending Lloyd straight into the air. Ragna ran after him readying him sword one last time.
"Inferno Divider!"
Ragna then left out engulfing his sword in dark fire and doing a jumping uppercut striking Lloyd. Ragna then finished him off with a kick knocking him straight out of the arena.
Lloyd landed in Aladdin. More specifically, he landed in a tomato stand splatting them all over him.
"Ugh… I hate tomatoes." Lloyd grumbled.
Ike raised his sword to block a muscular fist from Vector the Crocodile. The two then wrestled with each other trying to gain ground on each other while glaring into each other's eyes.
However unlike Ike, Vector had a tail. Swinging it, Vector's tail had knocked the surprised mercenary onto his back. Reaching down, Vector had grabbed both of Ike's legs and swung Ike around a couple of times before sending Ike straight into the nearest turnbuckle.
Ike crashed hard into the turnbuckle before weakly getting up gripping his shoulder. Narrowing his eyes, he got into a stance.
"Cheese, get him!"
Then, a small blur zoomed into Ike's stomach knocking the wind out of him. The blur then flew back revealing it was Cheese the Chao. Ike held his gut with his free hand while coughing a few times.
"Nice one, Cheese!" Vector said giving a thumbs-up. "You winded him!"
"Mr. Ike, please stand down!" Cream pleaded. "You are terribly hurt!"
The mercenary narrowed his eyes. "I appreciate your concern but despite my fatigue, I could still fight. You saw that blue pony."
Vector punched his palm. "Well, if THAT'S how you want, then fine! Just don't say the little lady warned you!"
With that, he lunged forward with his jaws out intending to bite him. Ike's eyes widened in horror before holding his sword in front of him blocking the bite. Thinking quickly, he kicked Vector in the stomach knocking the crocodile away from him. He then swung his sword at Vector who quickly ducked underneath the attack. Vector then thought quickly grabbing Ike by the legs and throwing him behind him.
"Cheese, now!" Cream shouted launching her Chao at the airborne Ike striking him and sending him crashing to the ground.
Ike groaned before using his sword to hoist himself up. He weakly up to see Vector blowing a bubble of purple gum. Suddenly, Vector spat it at Ike only for it to multiply. The blue-haired yelped before raising his sword. The bubbles popped somehow causing Ike skid backwards.
Ike slowly stopped himself feeling weakened. He then narrowed his eyes. "All right. If THAT'S what you want to play."
With that, he ran forward putting his sword over summoning fire in. With a quick hop, he planted it in front of Vector sending him flying away.
"Mr. Vector!" Cream gasped.
"Your ally had been knocked away." Ike said lowering his sword. "I do not wish to hurt you so I must ask you to surrender."
The rabbit looked back and forth between Ike and Cheese wondering what to do. Suddenly, she remembered something.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ike." Cream said gently grabbing Cheese. "But I cannot lose here."
With that, electricity started to surge around Cheese much to Ike's surprise. Cream then threw Cheese at Ike who took the attack to the chest causing him to stagger back.
"Is that all you go…" Ike asked before he realized that he can't move. "H-Hey. I can't move."
"I know. Thunder Shoot paralyzes people." Cream said before flapping her ears flying over to Ike. "Sorry."
With a surprisingly amount of strength, she picked up Ike and flew upwards making her way over the ring. She then promptly dropped him out of the ring.
Ike landed on a bed in Little Nemo. Seeing where he currently was, he shrugged before going to sleep.
Cream flew back to the arena sighing in relief with Cheese joining her.
"That was great, Cream!"
The child looked to see Vector walking over with a grin. She also saw Pichu talking Koromaru out of the ring (and into Okami where he teamed-up with Amaterasu.) before scurrying off.
Cream gave a small smile. "Thank you, Mr. Vector."
Pichu continued to run forward before doing a leaping head-butt straight into the leg of Sailor Jupiter. The Sailor Scout yelped in pain as she staggered to the side. That was when Pikachu tackled her other leg sending her crashing to the ground.
Sailor Jupiter yelped before landing on her side before glaring at the guilty party. Pikachu and Pichu both stood side-by-side ready for anything.
"How could something so small be such a bother to fight?" Sailor Jupiter muttered.
With that, she got up to her feet rushing forward. She then did a baseball slide at the two electric rodents. However, the two saw it coming from a mile away and leaped over it. Pichu then latched himself onto Sailor Jupiter's face. He then proceeded to scratch the brunette's face a few times.
Sailor Jupiter cried in pain before grabbing Pichu and throwing him off of him. However, Pikachu came out of nowhere and smacked her with her tail. Sailor Jupiter grunted before quickly getting up.
"How am I losing? Sure, I am fatigued but that bigger mouse had been in the same arena as me." Sailor Jupiter said holding her arm.
Suddenly, Pichu did his Agility zooming behind Sailor Jupiter and latching onto her back. He then zapped her with electricity hurting her (and himself). Sailor Jupiter cried in pain.
"Pika Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted getting Pichu's attention. "Pi!"
Pichu nodded before jumping off. Pikachu then dashed forward.
"PIKA!"
Sailor Jupiter's eyes widened before diving out of the way and just in time as a bolt of thunder struck Pikachu. While she got in the way in time, she was still sent sprawling across the ground for a moment. Sailor Jupiter groaned before getting up slowly. Once she snapped out of her daze, she snarled.
"All right! You think you are masters of electricity?" Sailor Jupiter asked. "Let me show you REAL electricity!"
With that, she summoned her trademark lightning rod out of her tiara summoned a bolt on it.
"Supreme Thunder…" Sailor Jupiter said.
Pikachu and Pichu shrank back in fear. However, Pikachu narrowed his eyes before charging out electricity himself.
"…DRAGON!"
The Sailor Scout then sent a giant electric dragon at the two Pokemon. However at the same time, Pikachu did a charging head-butt at the dragon. Much to everyone's surprise, Pikachu had managed to keep up with the dragon blocking it back.
Sailor Jupiter was the most stunned. Narrowing her eyes, she concentrated harder trying to give her dragon more power. However, Pikachu continued to stay strong not backing down. Pichu and a few others looked in awe.
Then, there was a bright flash that blinded most of the people nearby. Once the light cleared, the victor was the fight was revealed.
Sailor Jupiter laid on the canvas unconscious with Pikachu standing over her panting heavily. Taking a deep breath, he used whatever strength he had left to push Sailor Jupiter out of the ring.
Sailor Jupiter landed in Nights into Dreams where she landed in a peaceful grassy area.
"For someone for small, that rodent packs so much electricity." Blackwargreymon said in awe.
"Yes. There is a reason why he was brought in the first Super Smash Bros." Zelda noted.
"Speaking of which, why don't you show me your worth." Blackwargreymon said.
"I intend to." Zelda nodded.
With that, she sent an orb of fire at Blackwargreymon. The dark Digimon raised his arms to easily block its small explosion.
"Is that really all you got?" Blackwargreymon said.
However, he noticed that Zelda was gone. That was because she used her magic to teleport behind Blackwargreymon. She then kicked the anti-hero in the head.
Normally, a kick like that would hardly faze Blackwargreymon but Zelda had encased her foot with magic making the kick harder than it normally was. Blackwargreymon staggered forward. Zelda then landed on the ground before rushing forward and putting her hands out striking Blackwargreymon's back with magic.
Blackwargreymon continued to stagger forward before turning around looking annoyed.
"Dragon Crusher!" Blackwargreymon shouted swinging his claws sending two waves at Zelda. However, the princess had spun around surrounding herself with a diamond shield sending the two waves back at the large dinosaur.
Blackwargreymon took the attacks head-on. Zelda then charged up another Din's Fire and send it flying towards her opponent making it explode in his face.
The Digimon wobbled in place stunned. Zelda saw her chance to eliminate Blackwargreymon. However, the armoured Digimon snapped out of his daze. Acting quickly, he easily swatted Zelda away.
The purple-clad woman flew through the air before landing on the ground dizzied from the attack. She struggled to stay up for her feet. Blackwargreymon then grabbed her and threw her out of the ring.
However she snapped out of her daze in time before using Farore's Wind to teleport away. She then went back to the arena before sending Din's Fire into Blackwargreymon's back.
Blackwargreymon staggered forward before stopping and turning around annoyed. "For a princess, you are remarkably persistent."
"Just because Link is the hero doesn't mean I can't do things for myself." Zelda said narrowing her eyes.
With that, she activated Farore's Wind again.
However, Blackwargreymon was ready.
"Black Tornado!"
The Digimon had spiralled himself at Zelda getting struck multiple times. The princess cried in pain before soaring out of the arena too hurt to teleport back.
Zelda landed in Final Fantasy X. Some Guado mistook her for Yuna and attacked her. Veeeeeeery stupid mistake.
Blackwargreymon nodded his head while crossing his arms. Looking behind him, he looked to see who was next. Luigi was struggling to fight off Kurow and Caius by himself while Ragna and Blitz were having the same difficult with Judas. Vector told Cream & Cheese advice while Pichu watched in concern as Pikachu tried to recover from her match with Sailor Jupiter. Finally, Geary had finally made the clean up the charred spot on him.
Doing a quick count, Blackwargreymon nodded before looking up at the entrance curtain. The next section should be starting any minute.
