Kisara was over near the Predator's ship, lifting up a large glass bowl filled with water. She is practicing her skill of lifting up heavy objects. She won by a whisker in the first round, transforming herself into the White Dragon in order to defeat Kung Jin.

She was in her zone until she was interrupted by Naomi's shout of "Hey!" which surprised her and made her drop the bowl, causing it to shatter upon impact with the ground and getting water all over the sand.

"Damn it, Naomi!" Kisara snapped as she turned to see Naomi (with Yandere-Chan with her) "Didn't you see I was in the middle of something?!"

"Sorry," Naomi replied. "This girl here says she remembers you from somewhere."

Kisara looked over Yandere-Chan and, after a few seconds, finally had an idea of where she recognized her from. "Hey, you're that girl from the buffet who was hitting on that clown guy," she said. "What're you doing here?"

"I have a poem to show you," Yandere-Chan replied as she got out the paper with her poem written on it. Kisara stared at the paper in uncertainty.

"I'd read it if I were you," Naomi assured. "She's a bit creepier than she looks. Plus, that thing's very... interesting."

"Fine," Kisara replied as she took the paper from Yandere-Chan. After she read the poem in its entirety, her eyes widened in shock at its content. "Okay. Wow."

"You like it?" Yandere-Chan said as Kisara gave her the poem back. "Don't answer. The look on your face says it all." As she walked away, Kisara and Naomi were mortified by what they had read.

Jackie Bellus vs Yandere-Chan

SCP-953 vs Cassie Cage

A half hour later, everyone was gathered around the arena. Soon enough, A bunch of Tarkatans arrived at the arena, with their leader, Baraka, approaching the center.

"Welcome to the first round of day one," Baraka explained. "Tomorrow will be the second part of this round, but for now, let's go on onto the first fight of the day: Ryu..."

Ryu, with his knapsack on his shoulder, walked onto the arena.

"...vs Kotal Kahn." At that moment, Kotal Kahn teleported onto the arena across from Ryu.

"So you must be the legendary Tireless Wanderer," Kotal Kahn said with a hint of respect in his voice. "I'm certain you will give me a excellent battle."

"I'll give you more than that," Ryu replied before dropping his knapsack on the ground and going into his fighting position.

"FIGHT!" Baraka shouted. Kotal Kahn draws his sickles and charges towards Ryu with a downward strike with both of them. Ryu blocked this with an elbow strike and countered with a strong right gut punch. This knocked Kotal Kahn back only slightly. He then put his hands out to block a hurricane kick from Ryu. As Ryu recovered, Kotal grabbed him with one hand and tossed him towards the edge of the arena. Despite being knocked out slightly, he was able to hop back on and finish the fight.

"You're not bad," Ryu said, "but can you match my fighting spirit?"

"We shall see," Kotal replied as he and Ryu charged at each other to clash their fists together. This led to a fighting montage that looked like one from a Japanese martial arts film, ending with Ryu being knocked back by a Sparta Kick by Kotal, leaving him kneeling on the ground. Kotal raised his arm, and a pillar of sunlight appeared on Ryu, slowly damaging him. However, this was also an advantage, as this powered up Ryu's ki. While withstanding the damage, Ryu concentrated his energy into his hands to create a powered up ki ball. As Kotal Kahn tossed his sun stone, Ryu created a powered up Hadoken.

"Shinku..." Ryu said as he used the last of this ki to make the ball, "HADOKEN!" He tossed this Shinku Hadoken forward, breaking the sunstone and knocking Kotal Kahn on his back, unable to continue this battle. Because it was performed from afar, it did not go through Kotal's chest.

"Winner: Ryu!" Baraka announced. "Finish him."

"No..." Ryu declined as he went over to Kotal Kahn and helped him to his feet. "You put up a great fight, emperor."

"As did you, Wanderer," Kotal replied with an honorable bow. Ryu did the same.

"May we meet again under different terms." The two then turned away from each other and went their separate ways.
