(Dome; Recovery Room)

The security team exited the Recovery Room after depositing Tiny Tiger with Blaze seeing them off.

"Well, Tiny is in bed. He should be okay. Just very tired." Ally explained.

"Thank you." Blaze said looking down. "But can I ask for one more favour?"

Ally raised an eyebrow. "Um, sure. Name it."

Blaze looked up determined. "Let me come with you."

This startled Ally and the others. "What!?"

"I know I am being careless but whatever happened to Tiny to give him that power is now gone." Blaze said. "If I have to have this cursed power in me temporary, I want it to stop the villains."

The others started to voice their opposition about the idea. Hunter was about to say something as well until his eye caught something the side. Looking up at the corner, he saw one of the ceiling TVs.

His eyes widened in shock when he saw Spyro the Dragon in the arena. How could that be? He never been told that the quadruped that gotten an invitation!

"Look, I can't be responsible for what happened to you." Ally explained.

"I know and will I become a burden, I will immediately go back to the Recovery Room." Blaze said bowing her head. "But I want to make to do something to help someone else tonight since everyone else had been helping me."

Ally bit her lip before sighing in defeat. "All right. Just be careful."

"Thank you. I will make sure you will not regret it." Blaze said bowing respectfully.

"Would be pretty sweet to have an ally with THAT kind of power on OUR side!" Kanji smirked.

"Yeah." Ally said. She then noticed Hunter watching the television. "Hey, Spot! We are leaving!"

"Um, right. Coming!" Hunter yelped before looking back at the screen. "Looks like both of us have a tough battle ahead of us. Best of luck to the both of us."

With that, the security team along with Blaze ran off to clean up whatever the ragtag group had didn't touch yet.

(Pallet Town; Ash's House)

Ash Ketchum sat on the sofa with all of his friends watching the tournament on television. They were quite impressed and proud with the trainer's Pikachu managing to not only score of those eliminations BUT make the final ten as well.

"Wow! Pikachu is STILL in the arena." Max said adjusted his glasses.

"I knew that Ash's Pikachu had a far different flavour than most Pokemon." Cilan noted. "But that is quite impressive."

Ash just gave a small smile as he watched his best friend trying to stay alive. He had never won a Pokemon tournament before so he was hoping that Pikachu could have the honours instead.

"Just keep at it for a little while longer, pal." Ash said. He then frowned. "Um, Misty, May, Dawn, Iris?"

All four girls in question were literally swarming around Ash hugging him.

"Could you um, give me some space?" Ash asked. "This is… more than a little uncomfortable."

"Hey! If you had manned up and chose one of us, we wouldn't be in this mess, would we?" Misty snapped.

Iris sighed. "Such a child."

Ash groaned as everyone laughed.

(The Crowd)

"Yay, Dandy!" Natsumi cheered as Ranpoo meowed in joy. "Swing that whip Simon Belmont-style!"

"Wow!" Mugi said in awe. "I always knew Mr. Dandy-J was strong but he is in the Final 10 with nine other strong-looking fighters!"

"Don't underestimate Dandy-J, Mugi." Natsumi winked. "All that adventuring made him able to face off against different types of fighters."

"Well, I am glad that Mauru had gotten an elimination as well even though he didn't survive the section." Mugi smiled.

"I am glad that most of our node had gotten an elimination." Natsumi grinned. "I was worried that everyone even Dandy-J would fall to the Kizuna Encounter sycdrome but everyone but Politank-Z has gotten one."

"Do you think that we may win with Dandy-J?" Mugi asked.

"At first, I would be sceptical but who knows?" Natsumi shrugged. "They keep surprising everyone, including themselves. What do you think, Ranpoo?"

Ranpoo jumped up with a bright meow.

(Shinjuku; Henry's House)

Despite upset that they couldn't come to the tournament, the Digimon Tamers and their Digimon decided to watch the tournament on TV at Henry's house. They were more than happy with the success of the Digimon and their series so far.

"Look, Henry!" Suzie said squeezing Lopmon tightly. "Terriermon is so close to winning! He is so close!"

"Can't… Breathe…" Lopmon said loss of breath causing everyone to chuckle.

"Suzie, calm down." Henry chuckled.

"Well, I am just glad that our Digimon had managed to fight with our backing them up." Takoto said in relief.

"Our Digimon had fought together to be able to fend without digivolve or even a Digi-modify." Rika said. "Question us. Is Bunny-boy strong enough to win it?"

"I don't know. He is up against a lot of tough competition." Henry said before giving a small smile. "But even if I would be proud either way, I am crossing my fingers for his win."

(Hotel; Alba's Room)

Alba stood up eyeing the television intently as his younger twin brother, Soiree laid on the bed with his hands behind his head.

"Man, Luise is in the finals!" Soiree noted.

"I am not too surprised." Alba said crossing his arms. "You should know as well as I know that Luise has powers that is beyond anything from our node."

"Yeah, and even then we STILL don't know that much about her." Soiree noted. "All I know is that we are part of Judeim and whatever that is."

Alba paused stroking his chin. "Perhaps we should talk to her when this tournament is over."

"Oh, you are just saying that because you want to date her seeing that she is in the Final 10!" Soiree smirked. "You like tough girls!"

Without turning his back, he sent his arm back sending a white wave into Soiree crashing him into the wall. Alba continued to look at the television with his brother now unconscious.

(Viridian City; Pokemon Center)

Everyone at the Pokemon centre was sitting down cheering their favourites on. Despite juggling healing her power, Nurse Joy (different from the one at the tournament mind you.) still manages to watch the together as well.

"Man, what are the odds of two Pokemon making it the finals?" One man grinned.

"Well, no offense to the Pikachu but considering that the other is Mewtwo, it is no problem." Another man explained.

"Yes, you don't mess with a legendary Pokemon." A woman said. "Though I see beings that could easily make it as legendary Pokemon get eliminated easily."

"We have to see how he does." The first man noted. "Who knows? Maybe this would get him invited back to that Super Smash Bros tournament."

Everyone was so busy watching the match that they didn't know a small light pink cat-like creature floating and watching the tournament through a window.

Mew gave an unseen smile wishing the best of luck for Mewtwo.

(Eliminated Seating)

"Yay, Noel! Wipe that smirk off of that creepy clawed guy!" Makoto Nanaya cheered.

"Calm down, Makoto." Tager scolded. "I know you want Noel to hear you but if she does then that is a bad thing from security's point of view."

"Never known you to be the snarky type, Tager." The squirrel girl smirked. "But I can't help it. I am so happy that one of my friends made it to the finals! Especially seeing how nervous she was coming down the ramp."

"Indeed, the girl impressed me quite well." The red-skinned giant said before looking around. "Speaking of your friends, I haven't seen Tsubaki all night."

Makoto's smirk vanished. "Oh yeah. Hazama and Relius had been absent all time. Heck, Hazama didn't even enter the arena."

"What are those two up to?" Tager mused.

(Bubsy's House)

For once in his life, Arnold the Armadillo was happy and for good reason. Bubsy wasn't here. He finally gets a chance to relax with Bubsy dragging him in some crazy situation. Kicking back, he laid with a sigh.

"Ah! This is the life!" Arnold smiled. "No Bubsy! No adventures! And definitely no…"

CRASH!

The blue armadillo jumped to attention as two blurs crashed through the door. They were bobcats like Bubsy only a little boy and girl respectively using the propeller caps to zoom.

"THE TWINS!" Arnold yelped before curling up into a ball as the two flew over.

"Sorry, Arnold but we can't go bowling together today." The boy, Terry apologized.

"Y-You're not." He asked poking his eyes out in surprise. All the kids do was play ball games with him. With him as the ball.

"Yeah! Look!" The girl, Terri said grabbing the remote and turning on the TV.

Much to Arnold's shock, the channel tuned in to Bubsy shooting his Nerf gun.

"Bubsy!?" Arnold asked. "But I thought he just gone to watch the tournament! Not be in it!"

"So did I! Uncle Bubsy isn't the type of person to keep things like this." Terry said as the twins took a seat next to each of Arnold's sides.

"Anyway, we were going to watch Uncle Bubsy by ourselves…" Terri said before smiling. "But there was no way that we couldn't let Bubsy's sidekick and best friend beating people to a snot."

"So we came to cheer on Uncle Bubsy together." Terry smiled. "And after the tournament has ended, we could play together!"

Arnold looked back and forth between the two twins before sighing in hopelessness.

"I knew it was too good to be true."

(Underworld)

In some kind of dark cave, several figures stood waiting for a man at a podium to speak. The same thing between these characters? They all looked like the Grim Reaper.

"You had better have a good explanation for bringing us here, Death." Mr. Grimm from Twisted Metal snapped.

"Yeah, if Mandy found I ever left the house, she'll kill me!" Grim said in his Jamacian accent.

"Whipped." Gregg the Grim Reaper "coughed" as Grim glared at him.

"All right, all right." The one that the podium (also Death from Castlevania). "I know this seemed sudden but I had summoned you today for the possibility of a new Grim Reaper."

"Oh?" A short blue-clad Grim Reaper (from Gregory Horror House) asked. "Is he more talkative than the last one we recruited from that Persona node?"

Everyone then looked at a deceased floating man wearing a tattered black robe with chains around his body and had twin guns. Said figure merely shrugged at the question.

"Everyone, listen." Death said before putting on a small TV on the podium showing Reapermon fighting. "I actually found him by accident but I think this particular Digimon as they call it has what it takes to be one of us."

"Can't say I care for the gold colour scheme but he seems tough and intimidating enough." Gregg said. "Question is? Can he reap the reap?"

"That is when I called this urgent meeting." Death said. "So far he had gotten a late draw to an UVR-spinoff meaning he is in the final section. However, not only he is in the top 10 but he managed to score two eliminations. Everyone keep an eye out to see where he goes from here."

Everyone nodded before eyeing the Digimon.

(Hotel; Bison's Room)

Bison angrily paced around the room with Vega watching him while talking on a phone and Luigi still unconscious chained to a chair.

"Grr!" Bison growled. "When is Kurow going to get here?"

Vega got off the phone. "Bad news, boss. Kurow is STILL in the arena."

Bison's eyes bugged out. "What!? How about the plan?"

Vega just shrugged. "To be fair, if I am not mistakenly, he is in the final section by now. He probably wants to win that he decided to forget about the plan."

Bison growled. "That insolent twerp! He was supposed to brainwash that plumber! That was why set the machine to teleport here when he gets back from his elimination node!"

Vega raised an eyebrow. "I don't see why you can't do it yourself. You did it before with your Psycho Power. And why is it important to brainwash the king of second bananas?"

Bison sighed. "As much as I hate to admit it but Kurow's brainwashing is more effective than mine. My brainwashing takes controls of people's minds and turns them into dolls like Cammy. But Kurow's is different. Using his flute, he is able to manipulative the emotions of said people. In this case, their jealousy."

"Jealousy?" Vega asked. "Is THAT why we kidnapped people like the Babylon Rogues of all people?"

"Indeed. Their jealousy of Team Sonic's popularity and been used against them making Kurow's spells better than mine." Bison nodded.

Vega cast Luigi a side glance. "Oh, so that is why Luigi is so important. So much time stuck in his brother's shadow would make a lot of pent-up anger."

"Oh, you have no idea. Unfortunately, with Kurow not coming anytime soon, we may not see it." Bison said before clutching his fist engulfing his fist in purple energy. "Then again, if you want something done right. Do it yourself."

(The Arena)

Reapermon lunged forward slashing forward. Only to hit nothing but air. Raising a non-existent eyebrow, he scanned for his opponent.

Only for a claw to slash him in the back. Giving a grunt of pain and anger, he whirled around only for his target to teleport out of harm's way and whipped his tail into his side.

Reapermon growled before turning around. "Hold still and face me like a man!"

"Even though that scythe won't cut me in half, there is no way I am going to let that overgrown Scyther claw touch me." Mewtwo said coolly.

Reapermon again growled before scoffing and cooling himself down to try another slasher. This time, Mewtwo stayed and fought engulfing his claw in purple energy managing to clash with it. The two bosses had swung their respective sharp weapons at each other making several clashes with each other.

Soon, Mewtwo found an opening and kicked Reapermon in the torso. While the kick itself wasn't that strong, it was more than enough to make the Digimon step back. Thinking quickly, he sent both of his palms into Reapermon's chest.

The Grim-Reaper like creature fell until he landed on his back. He groaned before sitting up to see Mewtwo. Thinking quickly, he spun around scratching Mewtwo in the leg forcing the psychic to try out in pain and float back. Reapermon then leapt to his feet and swung his scythe-arm at Mewtwo's chest.

Mewtwo was slammed to the ground hard. With a groan, he slowly sat to see Reapermon advancing threateningly. Thinking quickly, he threw a weak Shadow Ball at Reapermon who easily slashed through the projectile. However, this gave Mewtwo to get up and float back. Reapermon growled before lunging forward deciding that he had enough.

"Grim Slasher!" Reapermon shouted doing a series of slashes to Mewtwo dealing multiple hits. He then followed it up with another charge.

"Bone Duster!" Reapermon yelled summoning his giant flame striking Mewtwo multiple times and sending the feline away. Mewtwo landed on the ground but slowly got up. However, he was dazed.

Reapermon smirked before continuing the attack to force him closer to the edge. "Grim Slasher!"

With that, he did his slashing attack again dealing multiple hits. "Bone Duster!"

Engulfed in another giant flame, Mewtwo took scorching damage before flying away and landed onto the ground. Reapermon smirked before walking over ready to throw the stunned Mewtwo out of the ring.

However, being a legendary Pokemon had more stamina than most bosses.

"So you like to win by spamming your attacks, huh?" Mewtwo said narrowing his eyes. "Well, let's see how you like it when someone plays cheap against YOU!"

With that, he glared into Reapermon's hollow eyes making some kind of glint. This instantly dizzied Reapermon. Mewtwo gave a scoff before using his psychic powers to throw the still-stunned Digimon out of the ring.

Reapermon landed in Divekick where not even he could stand up to the one-hit KO dive kick of a gender-swapped Kung-Lao from Mortal Kombat. Yeah, you read right.

The sounds of bullets flying filled the already intense air. Kurow Kirishima scowled before using his claws to deflect them away. Noel Vermillion winced before continuing firing from her twin guns. Kurow continued to deflect the bullets while rushing forward. When close enough, he gave the markswoman a kick to the chest knocking him down.

Kurow smirked at his success. "Being a markswoman does NOT get you far in situations like these, woman."

Noel slowly got up. "What have you done to Tsubaki?"

"What does it matter now?" Kurow asked with an one-handed shrug. "Even if you eliminate me knowing what happened, it would be far too late to try to save her."

Noel's eyes widened in horror. Kurow was right. Even if she gotten what she needed, she would have no time before being told to sign autographs for the fans. On the other hand, there may be a chance that she may see Tsubaki there.

"You are right. It may be too late to go save Tsubaki." Noel said before narrowing her eyes. "But I will not let you get away for doing whatever you done to her in the first place."

Kurow merely scoffed. "Tough talk from someone who relies on guns."

With that, he lunged forward slashing his claw. Noel yelped before holding her guns out in front of her blocking the attack. Thinking quickly, she kicked Kurow in the chest forcing him back. Noel then did a series of gunshots striking Kurow multiple times. With Kurow stunned, Noel ran over and smacked him in the face with her gun.

Kurow sprawled on his stomach leaving him open for Noel to shoot a bullet straight into his back. Kurow cried out in pain before leaping to his feet. Out of rage, he pounced at Noel intending to slash her in half.

However, Noel quickly jumped up not only letting Kurow run past but he also opened fire in mid-air striking Kurow some more. The white-haired man cried out in pain as Noel landed on the ground and shot Kurow some more.

However, the assassin recovered in time before slashing the air making visible claw marks somehow managed to block all of the shots. Kurow then did a long baseball slide knocking Noel off of her feet.

The blonde yelped before falling to the ground. She weakly looked up to see Kurow smirking menacingly. Noel yelped before raising her guns to block a claw stab from Kurow. Never one to give up or show mercy, Kurow continued the assault trying to rip Noel to shreds.

Noel winced staying on guard trying to find an opening. She then found one putting her feet onto Kurow's chest and flipping him over her and onto his back. Kurow fell onto his back before the two got up at the same time.

Kurow then lunged at Noel again stabbing forward with his claw. Noel thought quickly spinning her gun in her hand deflecting the attack. Taken back, Kurow shrank back but Noel wasn't done. Still spinning her gun, she sent it striking Kurow's chest multiple times. With the white-haired man stunned, Noel angrily booted him out of the ring.

Kurow landed in A Nightmare on Elm Street where even he ran and hid from Freddy Krueger with the latter calling him a rip-off of his style.

Spyro the Dragon charged on all-fours towards Luise Meyrink. Opening his mouth, he sent out surges of electricity at the woman. However, she quickly activated her deflector shield. This sent the dragon being zapped with his own electricity.

The dragon sprawled around the ground in pain. He weakly opened his eyes only for them to widen when Luise floated over. Giving his chin a good kick, Luise sent her opponent rolling back more.

Spyro quickly recovered and glared at the guilty party. "You are pretty tough for a lady based off of a butterfly."

"What a butterfly makes up for lack of strength, it makes up with graceful movements to avoid their prey." Luise said.

"Yeah..." Spyro muttered. "Obviously the butterflies I know never got the memo before getting eaten by dragonflies…"

Deciding to end the conversation as soon as possible, he charged forward head-first trying to ram his opponent down. However, Luise easily floated to the side and gave Spyro's side a good kick.

The dragon staggered to the side in pain before glaring at the guilty party. Acting quickly, he used his ice breath on Luise's legs freezing both of them to the ground. Spyro smirked before charging into Luise's torso knocking her on her back. Spyro then charged forward and used his head to pick up Luise and throw him out of the ring.

However, the butterfly-like woman snapped out of his daze in time before floating up while giving Spyro a hard axe-kick. The dragon winced at pain before flapping his wings multiple times levitating him off of the ground.

"Can you keep up?" Luise asked floating backwards. Spyro growled before gliding at fast as he could towards Luise. In an attempt to get more speed, he spiralled himself around propelling himself. Despite startled, Luise raised her arms to block the attack.

She blocked several strikes before the two went to the ground. Spyro then used his electric breath on the downed Luise striking her. The white-haired woman yelped before rolled to the side. Spyro ran over to continue the attack.

Big Mistake. Luise quickly floated in an upright position.

"For light!" She shouted before engulfing herself in energy striking Spyro and sending him flying back across the arena.

Spyro landed hard on his back right next to the ropes. He weakly looked up to see Luise floating over. Narrowing his eyes, he got up. Luise then spun around swinging her arms before sending a blue ball of light at Spyro's face before flying over to throw the stunned dragon out of the ring.

That would be the case if the projectile had connected with its target. Spyro closed his wings together blocking the ball of light. Luise realized this and tried to stop herself but it was too late. Spyro then leapt up and bit Luise by her leg. With all of his strength, he spun her around a couple of times before sending her out of the ring too stunned to float back.

Luise landed in Final Fantasy X where she sat on a branch watching the butterflies fly around.

(Dome; Roof)

Captain Olimar screamed before landing hard on the roof. He weakly propped himself on his feet and looked up.

Ripper Roo was literally around in place bounding like the crazy kangaroo he was. Olimar snarled.

"What can I fight this thing if he won't even hold still?" Olimar asked in despair. "I can't wait until he tires himself out because he looks like he is full of energy."

With that, he picked up a yellow Pikmin and threw it at the marsupial. Said Pikmin landed on Ripper Roo's foot but quickly fell off. This had been like this the whole time. When Olimar tried to get one of his Pikmin on Ripper Roo, they always fall off. He wanted to try to slow him down with purple Pikmin but throwing them was much slower.

Ripper Roo laughed maniacally before going to land on Olimar. The astronaut yelped before diving out of the way to avoid being squished into the air. He weakly looked up with a groan.

Only to see a green Nitro crate.

BOOM!

The explosion sent the small man flying through the air before sprawling across the ground. A few Pikmin ghosts floated up into the night sky. Olimar groaned before getting up annoyed by his larger foe.

"Okay, that's does it." Olimar said.

With that, he ran over to Ripper Roo as fast as he could. He then did a jumping dive. However, Ripper Roo laughed before leaping out of the way.

"Oh no, you don't!" Olimar yelled launching a chain of Pikmin at Ripper Roo's tail. Just barely, they managed to grab onto the marsupial's tail.

"Yes!" Olimar said in success.

However, he found himself riding the Pikmin chain on Ripper Roo's tail as the marsupial bounced around.

"AHHHH! SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN!" Olimar yelled.

Meanwhile, Pinstripe grunted in annoyance before aiming his Tommy gun and firing at Lucas.

Only for it to go into a force field draining the barrage.

"Oy, no fair!" Pinstripe roared. "Come out and fight like a man!"

"Said the man who is fighting with a gun." Lucas said.

"Said the brat who is from a node where some people fights with guns!" Pinstripe roared.

"People like Fox and Samus are do well without those weapons." Lucas said shaking his head. "You on the other hand based your entire fighting style around that thing."

"Don't you diss my gun!" Pinstripe roared before running over to Lucas and kicking at him. The blonde boy yelped ducking underneath the attack. Thinking quickly, he grabbed the other leg and sent the gangster onto his rear.

Pinstripe winced in pain and embarrassment before shot out his foot catching the young boy in the face. He then leaped to his feet and ran over grabbing his small foe by the hair and throwing him away.

Lucas flew away in pain but quickly used his psychic powers to flip himself in mid-air just in time to see Pinstripe taking aim. Thinking quickly, he manoeuvred himself to the side avoiding the barrage. Landing on the ground, he rushed forward.

"PK Freeze!" Lucas shouted sending a hexagon of ice at Pinstripe's feet freezing him to the ground. Pinstripe yelped before quickly shooting the ice freeing himself. However, this left him open for Lucas to slam his palm into his stomach striking his torso with several psychic strikes.

Pinstripe staggered taking one hand of his gun to hold his stomach. He then looked up with a snarl. Taking careful aim, he fired.

In a completely different direction. Blinking twice, he looked in the direction where the bullets had gone unaware that this was Pinstriple's plan.

The brown-haired potoroo smirked before opening fire on Lucas' back knocking him onto the face. Pinstripe smirked before rushing over.

Until Lucas got up to his feet surprising the gangster. A look of rare fury was on his normally gentle face.

Meanwhile, Olimar continued to hang on screaming as he held on to Ripper Roo's tail. He could feel his grip leaving him soon.

"I got only one shot at this." Olimar said. He then let go of the tail.

As it was going upwards. This sent Olimar flying up into the night sky high. He soon descended downwards grabbing hold Ripper Roo's neck he was hopping around.

"All right. Let's see what Pikmin I got. Red, not yet. Purple, maybe later." Olimar said before getting out a white Pikmin. "Ah, that's it!"

With that, he attached it to Ripper Roo's head. Plucking out some more Pikmin, he attached some more white Pikmin to Ripper Roo's head.

The blue-furred lunatic continued to hop around like crazy. However, he soon started to slow down while giving weak laughs. Olimar smirked seeing that the Pikmin's poison was giving effect.

"So you DO have your limits." Olimar said jumping off. He then picked up a red Pikmin and threw him into Ripper Roo's face. Normally, this wouldn't faze Ripper Roo too much but with all of the poison in him, he couldn't take the hit and fell down unconscious.

Olimar gave a sigh of relief before turning around. As if by chance, Lucas was walking over dusting his hands together. He also saw Pinstripe lying a good feet away out cold.

"Hey! You won!" Olimar smiled.

"So did you!" Lucas said returning the smile. "Won't the others be proud?"

"Yes. I just hope the people wasting Bison would be all right." Olimar said.

"Same here." Lucas nodded. "Anyway, can we go back inside? It is absolutely freezing."

"Agreed." Olimar said before motioning to the Pikmin. "Come along, little guys."

With that, they made their way back inside. Olimar looked back at their defeated foes only to see one sole red Pikmin looking up at the sky. Tilting his head in confusion, he made his way over.

"What is it, little one?" Olimar asked before looking up as well. "Huh?"

"Hey!"

Olimar jumped before turning around to see Lucas standing in the doorway with the other Pikmin.

"Is everything all right?" Lucas called out.

"Um, yeah." Olimar said before looking back up at the clear night sky.

"Weird. I could had sworn I seen a lawn chair being held up by balloons."

(Hotel; ?'s Room)

The security team along with Blaze the Cat made their way in front of a door.

"Well, is this it?" Hunter asked.

"Yeah. The lobby lady it was THIS door number." Ally nodded. "Everyone ready?"

Everyone nodded. Ally returned the nod.

"What about you, Blaze?" Ally asked. "No matter what happens, this could be big."

The feline narrowed her eyes. "I know."

Ally nodded. "All right. Let's go."

With that, she turned around and pulled her gloved fist back.

SMASH!

Smashing her fist through the door, she literally made a hole before shoving her way in allowing the others to get in.

"All right, guys!" Ally said as everyone got into battle positions. "You are busted!"

The guys in question were Eggman Nega along with Dr. Cortex, N. Gin, N. Tropy, Nina Cortex and Rilla Roo.

"Tsk tsk." Eggman Nega said wagging his finger. "Have you ever heard of knocking?"

"Save the polite bull, Nega!" Blaze demanded. "We are here to stop you!"

"My, my." Eggman Nega said. "Tough time from someone who got captured earlier."

Blaze winced before looking to the side. She then scowled before looking forward.

"I am not going to make the same mistake!" Blaze snapped. "You know why? Because I am not alone!"

Nina stuck out her tongue. "I think I am going to barf."

"Oh, how sweet." Eggman Nega said before getting into the Egg Walker. "But the power of friendship could only get you so far, my dear."

"Yeah, right!" Kanji snapped. "Like we are going to be afraid of a recolour who used the original's main vehicle!"

"Indeed. By itself, my Egg Walker leaves much to be desired in terms of creativity." Eggman Nega said before pushing a few buttons. "But who needs originality when you got POWER?"

With that, a red light appeared on the Egg Walker startling the others.

"Is that?" Mel asked in surprise.

"The same power that Blaze has…" Vivi muttered.

"But… How?" Blaze asked in disbelief.

Eggman Nega just smirked. "Let's just say the operation wasn't a complete flop. A bit of power was left over. Enough to power my machine."

"AND don't forget about us." Cortex said spinning his blaster in his hand.

The security team immediately got into their stances. Then, Blaze stepped forward.

"Guys, I'll handle Nega." Blaze said.

"What?" Mel asked in disbelief. "But Blaze…"

"Even if it is just a bit, I am the only one who can counter that power!" Blaze said. "Distract the others and I will try to stop Nega's machine."

The security team paused in thought wondering what they should do.

Ally then nodded. "All right. Just be careful."

"Oh please! It is YOU who need to be careful!" Cortex taunted. "Said the team that is being held by a BOXER!"

Ally growled. "Let's see you say that after I give you two black eyes!"

Meanwhile, N. Gin watched as Kanji glared at him while punching his fist.

"Oh, you look like the type to throw their muscle around!" N. Gin noted.

"Yeah. What's it to ya?" Kanji said narrowing his eyes.

N. Gin then gave a creepy grin. "Oh boy! I get to have some exquisitive pain!"

Kanji's eyes widened. "Are you hitting on me?"

N. Tropy eyed Vivi. "A child? Don't make me laugh. It is way past your bedtime."

The black mage gulped before narrowing his eyes. "I may be a child but I am no pushover."

"All right, little boy. You want to make with the big boys?" N. Tropy asked readying his tuning fork. "Let's play!"

Nina paused. "You have to be kidding. A kid with a puppet had been chosen to protect the tournament."

"You wanna come over here and say that to my face!" Branky roared.

"Stay calm, Branky." Mel said.

Nina raised an eyebrow. "Said the girl talking strategy with her toy."

Hunter blinked twice realizing who was left.

"You gotta be kidding!" The cheetah said eyeing Rilla Roo. "The final battle and I get freaking Rilla Roo!"

The gorilla-kangaroo growled not liking the insult and angrily stuck out his tongue at Hunter.

"Yeah, same to you, bub!" Hunter said readying an arrow.

"So the cool and anti-social has to resort to help to get her goals done." Eggman Nega smirked.

"There are some things that you have to do alone." Blaze said before narrowing her eyes. "But there are some things you HAVE to rely on other people to help you."

(The Arena)

Dandy-J growled as he cracked his whip at Pikachu who leaped back. Deciding to try again, he lashed out his trademark weapon as well only for the Pokemon to flip over the attack.

"Heh, this rat still got a lot of steam left in him." Dandy-J said before smirking. "Unfortunately for you, I got more steam."

With that, he cracked his whip again. However when Pikachu jumped back, Dandy-J ran over and gave the mouse a hard punt. The Pokemon flew back a few feet until he sprawled across the canvas in pain. He groaned before getting up.

His eyes then widened to see Dandy-J rushing over again. Thinking quickly, he sent himself flying head-first into the archaeologist. With the man's eyes bugging out in pain, he staggered back holding his gut. Pikachu then ran over and spun his tail at Dandy-J's feet knocking him off of his feet.

The bearded man landed on his side hard. He winced in pain before glaring at the guilty party. With a snarl, he sent his fist out catching Pikachu in the face knocking him down again.

The Pokemon sprawled across the ground. Pikachu frowned with his body aching all over fully knowing how close this was. Dandy-J then picked up Pikachu to throw him out of the ring but the mouse surged electricity through his body zapping his opponent's hand forcing Dandy-J to let go of Pikachu.

"So THAT is how you want to play?" Dandy-J asked. "All right."

Taking steady aim, he lashed out his whip again. Pikachu leapt out of the way.

However, Dandy-J was aiming for his tail. With the whip wrapping its way around Pikachu's bolt-shaped tail, the burly man pulled on his weapon sending to the much-lighter Pikachu flying until he was spiked into the ground. Dandy-J flipped the whip the other way spiking Pokemon again.

Pikachu groaned in pain before Dandy-J swung his whip around ready to hurl Pikachu straight out of the ring.

However, Pikachu was done yet. Thinking quickly, he engulfed himself in a bit of electricity. The attack wasn't that strong but it was more than enough to engulfed Dandy-J's whip zapping the wielder. Dandy-J cried out in pain.

"So you think you are the only who can use electricity?" Dandy-J asked. "Well, take this!"

With that, he charged his whip with electricity again returning the favour by zapping Pikachu. The electric rodent cried out in pain taking the attack to his body.

However, after going over the initial shock, Pikachu narrowed his eyes before giving off electricity of his own. This caused Dandy-J to get shocked on his end again. However, unlike the last time, he collapsed on his hands and knees too stunned to move. Pikachu immediately ran over and shoved the man out of the ring.

Dandy-J landed in the video game Aladdin where he quickly used his whip on a hook on the wall to avoid falling into a bottomless pit.

"Bunny Blast!"

A small green ball of energy clashed with a nerf ball. Once both projectiles negated as Terriermon and Bubsy the Bobcat glared at each other before smirking at each other.

Bubsy then continued the attack but running forward shooting Nerf balls at Terriermon.

"Terrier Tornado!" The rabbit shouted spinning him into a small tornado not only negating the attacks of the projectiles but also flew straight into Bubsy. The attack sent Bubsy flying backwards until he crashed into a turnbuckle.

Bubsy groaned before sitting up holding his head. With a snarl, he fired away at the Digimon sending more Nerf balls. Terriermon merely swatted the projectiles with his long ears.

"Surprised that I am able to swat your little projectiles away so easily?" Terriermon said smugly.

"With big ears like that, no." Bubsy said. "But I got a lot more tricks up my sleeve!"

With that, he put away his gun and ran straight at Terriermon. Taken back by Bubsy's speed, the white-furred creature could do nothing but receive a punch to the face knocking him on his back. Bubsy quickly climbed onto him and was about to punch his face in.

That was until Terriermon used one of his ears to smack Bubsy in the face knocking him off of him. Terriermon then got up and started to smack Bubsy from left to right with his ears. When Terriermon was done, Bubsy was wobbling on his feet looking dazed.

The bobcat quickly shook away his dizziness and glared at the guilty party. "Why you!"

He then ran forward intending to scratch Terriermon's face off with his claws. However, before he could get close, Terriermon used his ears to grab Bubsy's hand. Flipping his ears behind him and spiked the orange feline onto his face.

Bubsy got up holding unappealing bump on his head. "What? Did you imply steroids to your ears or something?"

"Nope! Just born like them!" Terriermon taunted. With that, he put his ears over him and swung them down onto Bubsy's head. Thankfully, the cat yelped before leaping back narrowing over the attack. Suddenly, a light bulb appeared over his head.

Bubsy then ran forward. Terriermon merely smirked. "Terrier Tornado!"

The Digimon then spun around in his tornado launching himself at Bubsy.

However, the bobcat had something in mind. Quickly jumping over the attack, he grabbed hold of the Digimon's ears while they were still spinning hanging on for dear life.

When the attack ended, Bubsy was a little dizzy but he couldn't afford to hesitate. Still holding onto Terriermon's ears, he quickly tied them together in a knot.

"H-Hey! That's not fair!" Terriermon accused.

"Hey! Not my fault your main form of attack can literally be all tied up!" Bubsy smirked before throwing Terriermon out of the ring.

Terriermon landed in House of the Dead. He ran off somewhere to hide from zombies and undo his ear knot.

Noel Vermillion yelped before opening fire from twin bullets. Spyro the Dragon narrowed his eyes before from left to right avoiding the barrage. Soon, the dragon soon found his way to his opponent head-butting in the legs literally.

Noel screamed before literally flipping a few times in the air before collapsing on her face. She groaned before slowly getting up. Her eyes then widened when she saw Spyro blowing fire at her.

Thinking quickly, she knelt down and put her guns in front of her blocking the flames before it could burn her. Swinging her leg up, she kicked Spyro in the chin forcing him back.

"Should I continue fighting?" Noel asked. "I am still worried about Tsubaki. Should I let myself get eliminated so I could go find her?"

"Hey, lady!"

Noel snapped out of her train of thought to see Spyro glaring at her.

"Quit ya daydreaming!" Spyro scolded before smirking. "Can't slack off in the Final Five."

Noel paused before nodding. It would probably an insult to everyone if she just gave up regardless of her feelings. Deciding to put her concern aside for the moment, she continued with the fight aiming one of her guns at Spyro.

Suddenly, she spun around in place and threw her other gun sending it spinning with bullets going around. The bullets struck Spyro a few times before returning to Noel's hand like a boomerang. With Spyro stunned, Noel ran over to him and back-flipped kicking him in his chin and knocking him into the air.

Noel then opened fire at the airborne Spyro and fired several bullets at the dragon knocking him back onto the dragon. Spyro groaned before weakly getting up to see Noel aiming again.

Narrowing his eyes, he quickly breathed out his ice breath creating a path of ice and slid on it. Not only did he manage to literally slip under the bullets but he crashed into Noel knocking her down.

Noel weakly got up but not before whacking Spyro on the head with her guns. She was about to take another swing until Spyro had caught her gun in his mouth.

"H-Hey!" Noel demanded. "Let go!"

"No!" Spyro said though it came out muffled.

The two had an odd tug-of-war trying to pull the gun towards their side. This continued for a while until Spyro decided to end it.

Flipping himself back, he rolled around the ground carrying the stunned Noel with him. After a couple of rolls, he pushed all fours of his legs off sending Noel off of him and out of the ring.

Noel landed in Kung-Fu Panda. Seeing Po as super-cute, she promptly glomped him.

(Hotel; Basement)

Richard Meyer screamed before ducking underneath a claw slash from Ignis. Shooting out his foot, he forced the marionette. Then, he heard footsteps coming from the side. Spinning his leg around, he managed to catch Tsubaki Yayoi in the stomach forcing her back.

Relius Clover looked on with a bored look on his face. "I knew that this battle would be a bore but I didn't even think it would be THIS disappointing."

Richard growled before glaring at Relius. "Oy! Here's an idea! How about getting out your lazy butt and fighting me unlike a coward!"

The blonde man shook his head. "I was talking about your fighting style. Not only does it revolve around nothing but kicking but you don't even have any kind of energy or ki around your attacks."

"So what if my fighting style is non-flashy?" Richard said narrowing his eyes. "I LIKE my non-flashy style!"

"Well, I don't." Relius said before jerking his thumb to the side. "In fact, I am more interested in the boy who can create soccer balls of nothing."

Richard growled. He wanted to continue the insult battle but decided to take out Ignis and Tsubaki first. He went for Tsubaki first seeing her easier to knock out and kicked forward.

However, Tsubaki thought quickly and blocked with her weird shield making the barefoot man winced in pain. The red-head then OPENED her shield summoning a pair of angel wings to come out and knock Richard into a wall.

The bartender groaned weakly looking up. His eyes then widened when he saw Ignis charging forward. Quickly ducking underneath the attack, he kicked Ignis in the torso forcing her back. Tsubaki then ran forward swinging her small sword. Richard stepped back.

However, it wasn't enough seeing Tsubaki turned her small sword into a LONGSWORD. Too stunned by the move, he received a slash to the chest. Richard grunted in pain before holding his chest. Ignis then picked him up and threw him.

Richard weakly got up on his hands and knees only to collapse on his face after Relius put his foot on his back.

"Like I said, a bore." Relius said.

Meanwhile, Roberto fell backfirst into a wall before sliding off of it. He weakly looked up to see Nagase running over with her katana out. With a yelp, he scampered out of the way to avoid being slashed.

Summoning a soccer ball out of nowhere, he kicked it at Nagase who quickly popped it with her katana.

"Hey!" Roberto said not happy that his main choice in projectile got popped.

"Serves you right for thinking having skills in sports would make you a good fighter!" Nagase scoffed.

Roberto narrowed his eyes behind his visor. "We'll see about that."

Nagase merely rolled her eyes before swinging her sword. However, Roberto ducked underneath the attack and head-butted Nagase in the stomach knocking the wind out of her and knocking her back. Roberto then punched her in the face and flipped kicking her chin sending in the air.

Despite in pain, Nagase flipped herself in the air and gracefully landed on her feet. With a growl, she ran forward with her katana. Roberto promptly kicked a soccer ball at her which the ninja easily swatted it away.

Roberto then kicked forward but Nagase quickly caught his foot and spun it around literally having the Gorin student spin in mid-air before landing on his back. Nagase was about to attack Roberto until the young man kicked Nagase in the chest with both feet forcing her back.

Nagase flipped backwards and sent a shuriken at Roberto. Acting quickly, he held out his hands with some kind of vortex surrounding it. Nagase looked in awe as Roberto caught the shuriken with one hand.

"How… How the heck did you manage to catch my shuriken?" Nagase asked in disbelief.

Roberto merely smirked. "I am a goalkeeper."

"HOW in the hang can being a goalkeeper give you the skill to catch a SHURIKEN?" Nagase asked in disbelief.

"Looks like I sure shut you up about my lack of fighting skills." Roberto said.

Nagase merely scoffed. "Whatever."

Richard fell onto his side in pain. He looked up to see Ignis and Tsubaki advancing forward darkly. Relius shook his head in hopelessness.

"This had been nothing but a waste of my time." Relius said before snapping his finger. "Ignis. Tsubaki. Finish him off."

Richard winced not believing that this would end like this. Did he get overconfident that he could fight off two people at once? Both of them being controlled by Relius.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in realization. Looking up, he saw Tsubaki and Ignis about to run him in. Thinking quickly, he flipped backwards avoiding the attack.

He then leaped over them and ran straight for Relius with fury in his ears. Richard kicked forward. That was until Relius got out his mechanical arm from his cape to block his kick. Richard winced before hopping back holding his foot. Relius smirked before backhanding Richard in the face.

Richard staggered back before quickly flipped himself over Relius and kicked him in the back forcing him to stagger forward.

Richard then smirked. "IT'S SHOWTIME!"

Relius turned around only to be kicked in the face. Richard then did a series of Capoeira kicks to the mad scientist not giving him a chance to block, counter or call Ignis for help. Richard then finished up the attack by kicking the man in the stomach.

Relius flew backwards crashing into Tsubaki sending the two into a wall knocking the both of them out. Seeing that her master was out cold, Ignis disappeared.

Richard panted heavily before collapsing on his knees. "That… Was too close."

He was about to go over and help Tsubaki up until he heard a strange noise. Turning his head, he saw Roberto sending a flaming soccer ball into Nagase's stomach. The blonde teenager flew until she landed in the large pile of debris unconscious.

With a small smile, he continued on his journey to Tsubaki helping the unconscious woman out.

"Wow. You actually managed to defeat all three of them by yourself?" Roberto asked in awe.

"Yeah. Barely though." Richard sighed. "The sad thing is I don't think that Relius creep would be out for long."

"Yeah. Let's get this woman somewhere safe." Roberto said helping Richard.

With that, the two men carried Tsubaki up the stairs.

(Hotel; Hallway)

The team of Solid Snake, Fox McCloud, Samus Aran, Flynn Scifo and Chloe Valens made their way down the hallway.

"Is Bison's room is on their floor?" Samus asked.

"That is what I heard." Snake said.

"Do you think the five of us would be able to stop him?" Fox asked.

"Two mercenaries, two knights and one bounty hunter." Snake said "Yeah. I think we are more than prepared."

"Don't be so cocky." Chloe scolded. "There is a reason why Bison is one of the most feared villains of all time."

The others nodded. This was it. It was time to take down Bison along with his dark ambitions. Snake was the most determined to take him down because he was targeted by him and because he had to retreat. Crunch and Nash was kidnapped and brainwashed. All he could hope was that the others had rescued them.

Suddenly, they all heard some kind of ringing.

"What is that?" Chloe asked in surprise.

"My cell phone." Fox said getting a phone. "Hello?"

"Fox, it is me!" Faust's voice said.

"Oh, Faust! What is it?" The vulpine asked.

"Have any of you seen Luigi?" The doctor asked concerned.

Fox raised an eyebrow. "Um, no. Why?"

"He hasn't appeared in the Recovery Room!" Faust said on the phone.

Fox's eyes widened in horror. "What!?"

"It's true! It had been more than ten minutes since Luigi had been eliminated and he STILL hasn't returned!" Faust exclaimed.

"But… But how could that be?" Fox asked as the others looked at each other in concern.

"I… I have a theory. In the first Megamix Tournament, one of the fighters was a target in a kidnapping plot not unlike the one you are going through." Faust said. "She was eliminated in the arena and had spent ten minutes in her node. But… She never returned to the Recovery Room."

"So you think that Luigi didn't return to the Recovery Room…?" Fox asked as Snake's eyes bugged out.

"…Because someone had kidnapped him." Faust lamented.

Fox frowned. "See if you can call the others and tell them to look for Luigi! We are going to face Bison!"

"Oh, really?" Faust asked. "My apologies. Good luck."

Fox nodded before ending the call before looking at some concerned people.

"What was that about Luigi?" Snake asked the most worried.

"Apparently he was supposed to show up at the Recovery Room but he never returned." Fox said. "Faust thinks he had been captured."

"Captured? Why?" Flynn asked confused.

"Isn't it obvious? Bison KNEW his side was losing so he decided to dig low and get a hostage." Samus said narrowing her eyes behind her helmet.

Snake slowly shook his head trying to figure out what had happened. Luigi was captured most likely as a hostage to stop Bison's plans.

"So you are the brave people trying to save the day."

Everyone's eyes widened before turning to see Jivatma, Black Doom and Dhaos going forward.

"Dhaos!" Chloe said readying her sword.

"You have Luigi, don't you?" Fox said getting out his blaster. "We want our friend back!"

"I am afraid that is quite impossible." Jivatma said. "He is currently with Bison and he doesn't want to be disturbed."

"He is with BISON!?" Snake cried.

That was all he could take. Getting out a strange item out of nowhere, he held it over him levitating him off the ground much to everyone's surprise. He then rode it forward and over the three villains before letting go of the device and running off.

"Hey, Snake!" Fox called out running forward.

However, Black Doom ran in his path.

"Stay back, mortal!" Black Doom snapped. "We can't afford to let another one of you pass!"

"Ugh! That idiot!" Samus growled. "Even HE knows that better than this!"

"Yeah, it is unlike him to do something so reckless." Fox said before readying his blaster. "Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do unless we take down these freaks."

Samus readied her arm cannon standing next to Fox. "I am with you."

"My, aren't we confident?" Jivatma asked standing beside Black Doom.

"Allow us to show you how wrong your ambitions are!" Black Doom snapped.

"Dhaos! I know that we had always been enemies!" Flynn said before narrowing his eyes. "But why are you helping BISON?"

"Yes. Bison is everything you despise in humans!" Chloe agreed.

"Don't misunderstand. I didn't help Bison out of trust." Dhaos said. "I helped him because he could give me what I want."

"Well, we are here to stop you!" Flynn said getting out his sword and shield.

Dhaos merely scoffed before getting into a stance. "You are just as stubborn as Cless and Chester."

(The Arena)

"Here we are folks! The Final Four!" Tinyrocket announced. "Pikachu, Spyro, Mewtwo and Bubsy!"

"All of them want the grand prize but only one could have it!" SSBFreak said.

"Question is… Who?" Orange-Ratchet asked.

Bubsy quickly took aim and fired several Nerf balls at Pikachu who quickly ran out of the way dodging the attacks.

Bubsy grunted in annoyance. "How could someone so fatigued still move so fast?"

With that, he shot another Nerf ball. Pikachu quickly jumped over it and sent a bolt of electricity of Bubsy striking the gun. The bobcat yelped before stepping back as his gun exploded.

"Hey! That was my only weapon!" Bubsy snapped angrily before zooming forward. Not even Pikachu could avoid Bubsy's dash as he was lifted by his neck with one hand while punching his face in with the other one.

Pikachu cried out in pain before surging electricity through his body zapping Bubsy and showing his skeleton. Bubsy let go of the Pokemon but quickly recovered with a slash to the face. Pikachu yelped before Bubsy grabbed his tail.

"Finally I am the heavyweight around here!" Bubsy smirked before swinging Pikachu back and forth slamming him onto the canvas. He then spun Pikachu around (not unlike Mario) and threw him away sending the little guy sprawling.

Meanwhile, Spyro charged towards Mewtwo managing to catch the legendary off-guard with a hard head-butt to the stomach. With a smirk, Spyro breathed fire onto Mewtwo.

Despite the attack hurt, Mewtwo still managed to point his finger at Spyro, levitated him up before slamming him hard on the ground. Still pointing his finger at Spyro, he created an explosion of purple energy knocking Spyro back further.

"By yourself, you are quite interesting but you cannot stand up to other Pokemon like Dragonite." Mewtwo said.

Spyro glared at Mewtwo. "I don't need to! I just have to defeat YOU!"

The feline-like being gave a small smirk before sending a Shadow Ball at Spyro who quickly negated it with his electric breath. Spyro then stampeded over head-first. However, Mewtwo was ready. Spinning around in place, his tail whipped Spyro in the face sending him sprawling.

Spyro quickly recovered to see Mewtwo floated over. Thinking quickly, he ran forward and breathed his ice breath on the larger foe. However, the psychic summoned psychic energy through his body negating the effects of the attack.

Pikachu screamed before falling face-first onto the ground. He weakly got up to see Bubsy walking around cracking his knuckles.

"Not personal, little guy." Bubsy said. "It is just cat's laws to be rough to mice."

With that, he pounced at Pikachu with his claws. Pikachu's eyes widened in horror.

Activating his Quick Attack move, he zoomed out of the way to avoid being turned into shreds. Realizing that he had missed his target, Bubsy looked around in confusion.

Bubsy then turned to see Pikachu charged up. Before the orange feline could react, Pikachu did a charging head-butt straight into his stomach.

At the same time, Spyro had managed to climb onto Mewtwo's back. Giving a deep breath, he shot out electricity into the back of Mewtwo's head. As the legendary Pokemon cried out in pain, Spyro slammed his head forward.

Mewtwo collapsed on one knee looking like he was about to pass out at any moment. Spyro smirked before charging into Mewtwo's side knocking him down. Spyro then leapt onto his stomach to beat him down.

That was until Mewtwo shot out his palm in dark energy sending the dragon flying back a few feet until he landed on his face. Spyro groaned before getting up before glaring at Mewtwo.

Only to see a fully-charged Shadow Ball flying at him.

Everyone landed in awe as the two charged attack crashed into Bubsy and Spyro respectively sending the two Mystery Fighters out of the ring with no hope of returning.

Bubsy and Spyro landed in Mario Party 6. Particular at a bus stop in a grassy plain.

"Where are we?" Spyro asked looking around.

Suddenly, they saw a bus coming over. Soon, the bus stopped in front of them revealing the moon-faced host, Luna. They also saw Toad and Toadette sitting in the back.

"MORE people appearing in the Mario Party series?" Luna asked before shrugging. "Oh well. It can't be helped. Hey, wanna play us minigames with us until you returned to wherever you come from?"

The two Mystery Fighters blinked twice before looking at each other.

"The person who wins less minigames than the other person in the next ten minutes have to buy the winner drinks." Bubsy smirked.

Spyro returned the smirk. "You're on!"

Back in the arena, the cheering died down a bit as the remaining two fighters turned to look at each other.

Pikachu was completely covered with bruises and cuts with his fur all scruffy. He also seemed to be panting heavily.

Mewtwo on the other hand looked better than Pokemon due to being a lot fresher but he still had quite a few bruises and cuts on him. He was also panting a bit from eliminating Spyro.

"Well, this is a pleasant surprise." Mewtwo said with a smirk.

"Yes, whoever wins this tournament would not only be from Super Smash Bros but from Pokemon as well." Pikachu said with a weak smile.

"Nonetheless, nodal companion or not, I am not going to hold back." Mewtwo said.

Pikachu shook his head. "I wouldn't have it any other way, my friend."

With that, both Pokemon lunged at each other starting the Final Battle.

(Hotel; Bison's Room)

Luigi slowly fluttered his eyes open groaning.

"Well, well, well. Look who had finally awoken."

Luigi's eyes widened before looking up to see Bison smirking evilly at him. He yelped trying to scoot back but can't due to the chains keeping him tie up.

"Oh no!" Luigi screamed.

"Oh, yes." Bison said advancing forward.

"What… What do-a you want with me?" Luigi asked not liking where this was going.

Bison smirked. "It is not so much YOU I want. It is more of a different personality of yours."

Luigi raised his eyebrow in confusion. Suddenly, his eyes bugged out in horror.

"Oh no… Not… Mr. L." Luigi cried out.

"Oh, yes. Mr. L!" Bison smirked before summoning Psycho Power in his face. "Now I WAS going to wait until Kurow returns to bring him out but there is nothing a little Psycho Power can't hurt."

With that, he advanced forward with his menacing grin growing larger and larger. Luigi's face paled as he tried to move back with his entire face dripping in sweat. He was helpless to do anything. It looked like it was all over.

BOOM!

Bison, Vega and Luigi jumped before whirling around to see the door was blown away leaving a dust cloud. When the cloud cleared, it showed Solid Snake holding a grenade launcher.

"Snake!" Luigi said happily.

"Luigi, are you all right?" The mercenary said sternly.

"Yeah, now." The plumber said in relief.

Snake narrowed his eyes. "All right, Bison. I'm here. You want me? You have me now let Luigi go!"

Bison and Vega looked in confusion wondering what Snake meant. Luigi on the other hand knew exactly what Snake was talking about.

"Snake…" Luigi said slowly.

"No, Luigi. We promised that this is the last time I will run away and I am not going to do so." The bearded man said sternly.

"No, you don't understand. I…" Luigi started.

"Luigi. Remember when I completely ignored you when you said that Crunch and Nash's kidnapping wasn't my fault?" Snake asked. "Well, it is. And I don't care how reckless you call me. I am never going to let someone else take the fall when it was me it is after. Especially when I was the one that roped you into this mess into the first place."

Luigi paused at his words. "Snake?"

Bison looked back and forth putting the pieces together. When he figured out what was going on, he started to laugh.

"Ooh, this is delicious!" Bison laughed finding the irony extremely funny.

"What? You don't like sappy moments?" Snake asked before readying his grenade launcher. "Well, lucky for you, I won't be anything like that when fighting YOU!"

Bison laughed heartily as he floated over. "Do you really think I could be foiled by someone who resorts to fighting with fireworks?"

"AND the man's face is absolutely disgusting." Vega said readying his claw. "Allow me to shave."

"Up yours, pretty-boy." Snake said before turning to Luigi. "Luigi, just hang tight, all right?"

The green-clad man looked. Snake still thinks he was the target even though it was Luigi they wanted. Because of that, Snake thought that Luigi was captured to use as an exchange hostage for Snake. Even then, Snake went along knowing (or thinking) fully well how dangerous it was to free him. Just the thought made Luigi's eyes go misty.

But then, flames quickly dried up his eyes. Charging himself up in place, he gritted his teeth while bowing his head.

Activating his Green Missile, he managed not only to break out of the chains but also fly straight into Vega's side knocking the narcissist into a wall surprising Snake and Bison.

"Luigi!" Snake exclaimed.

"Snake." The moustached man said surprisingly calmly.

"All right, you are free. Go on, run!" Snake said. "While you still can!"

Luigi shook his head. "And leave you alone with BISON? I don't think so."

"But he is after ME! I can't afford you have you get hurt because of me!" Snake snapped.

"Well, that is no reason to let you get hurt at all!" Luigi snapped. "Look, you take on Bison while I'll hold off this masked creep!"

Snake paused for a moment. He then nodded. "All right. Just watch yourself."

"You too." Luigi said turning to see Vega getting up.

"Why you!" Vega snarled. "I will personally rip off that ugly moustache of yours!"

Luigi's eyes widened before narrowing them. "Oh no! You do NOT diss the moustache!"

Bison merely smirked. "You are quite cocky to face the almighty Bison alone!"

Snake narrowed his eyes. "I rarely fear a man."

As the audience was unaware that a mercenary was trying to stop a dictator and a feline princess was using some kind of extreme power to stop a mad scientist, two Pokemon were going against each other for the title of the first ever winner of the Battle of the Luminaries.
