Battle Of The Luminaries 3

by Tinyhammer

Votefic. UVR Spinoff. Cross-Pasted On ArchiveOfOurOwn. After at least a decade when the second tournament was unfortunately been cancelled, the Battle of the Luminaries is finally back with its largest roster yet. Who will win? YOU DECIDE! Also, I WILL NOT TAKE MYSTERY FIGHTER REQUESTS!

10. Section Three Results

(The Arena)

The crowd cheered as the fists of three dark-skinned well-built women clashed with each other resulting in a loud crash. Angela Belti, Vanessa Lewis and Korra shifted their eyes towards each other with determined glares. Soon, they all jumped back. Vanessa then lunged at Angela, seeing her as the bigger threat. The latter just scoffed before raising her arm to block the attack.

Only for the both of them to be struck in the faces by a beam of compressed water each other. With both women stunned, Korra ran over to the two and ignited her leg with fire with and spun around, kicking the both of them in the face. Well, she kicked Angela in the face. Vanessa managed to snap out of her and grab Korra by the foot and spin her around.

After a few ungraceful spins in the air, Korra landed on her back dazed. However, before Vanessa could take advantage of this, Angela grabbed her from behind and lifted her up before performing an Atomic Drop on her before letting her drop to the ground. With both of her opponents downed, Angela ran over to the nearest blocky tree and started to climb up it. After reaching the top, she jumped up to land on them.

However, both Korra and Vanessa snapped out of their dazed in time before quickly rolling out of the way to avoid getting crushed into the ground..They then both kicked Angela in the side making her stagger back.

Angela recovered before letting out a hearty laugh. "I admit I underestimated you. You are no amateurs, but it is going to take a lot more than that to take me down!"

"Well, it is a good thing that I am going to give a 200%!" Vanessa boasted, punching her palm.

"And if THAT doesn't work out, I could show you why I am the Avatar!" Korra agreed. She then paused. "Of my series, anyway!"

Angela let out a hearty laugh. "Ha! I should hope so! It wouldn't be fun for anyone if that is the case!"

"Stop with the mind disease!"

Kurow Kirishima shrieked before leaping onto the pile of blocks. However, this did little to make Faust as he pounced at him with his giant scalpel. Kurow leapt over the unorthodox weapon and kicked Faust in the face. The doctor staggered back. Kurow then leapt at him.

Only for a missile to fly right into him. In a small explosion, Kurow was sent flying and screaming off of the block before sprawling onto the ground. Looking up, he saw Solid Snake and Rubia Natwick both looking down at him with smirks on their faces with the former holding a missile launcher.

"Tch tch. Faust may be the scariest one here, but that is no reason to forget us!" Snake taunted.

Kurow growled as he got up. "Aw, come on! I already got enough on my plate with that crazy doctor! Could you get off my back!?"

Snake's grin vanished at this. "You're kidding… You're kidding me right?"

"We already told you! We have to get revenge for all of the harm you caused our friends at the first Battle of the Luminaries!" Rubia agreed, sternly

"Dude! That was literally a decade ago!" Kurow snapped. "And the way I see it, Caius should be thanking me! Do you really think he would do any good if he WASN'T brainwashed?"

Rubia narrowed her eyes further. "May I have the next one, Snake?"

"Go ahead." Snake urged.

Rubia then started to cast a spell. Kurow merely narrowed his eyes.

"Like I am just going to stand still and…" Kurow scoffed.

Then, Faust grabbed his legs.

"Take your 'Ladies First' medicine!" Faust scolded.

Kurow struggled to get free. "G-Get off!"

"SPREAD!" Rubia shouted, making a pillar of water appear underneath Kurow and sending him into the air. However, seeing that Faust was holding onto him, the insanely-tall man was sent flying into the air as well.

Rubia's eyes bugged out as Kurow and Faust crashed on the ground. "Ack! I am sorry!"

"It's fine… If my pain is needed for this brat's medicine, then so be it…" Faust said.

Rubia frowned. "Umm… Okay?"

(Announcer's Booth)

Drake frowned. "I was so psyched to invite Faust back as part of the medical team."

"I can't say that I feel the same way, but it is still saddening for someone to act so… Jovial turn into… THAT." Ashley agreed, sadly. He then paused. "Speaking of that particular fight…"

"Hm?" Drake asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Kurow had a point when Faust first attacked him. Snake, Faust AND Rubia appearing in the same section as him." Ashley said, returning the expression. "Sure, Kurow annoyed a LOT of people, but…"

Drake shifted his eyes from left to right. "Well, Xero did have a reference to the third Ultimate Video Rumble with Captain Olimar and Nack the Weasel sooo… Why not have my own reference?"

"Drake!" Ashley groaned.

"Aw, come on! Kurow had it coming for years!" The vampire snapped.

"Okay, I admit he was a bit of a Karma Houdini, but that is not HIS fault!" Ashley scolded. He then paused. "...I think."

"Okay, I don't think even HE saw himself going so far, but still he was a major antagonist and the cause of a LOT of pain and yet his only punishment was being eliminated by Noel Vermillion." Drake explained. "In the FINAL NINE!"

"Still, that is no reason to rig it against him." Ashley scolded.

"Pshaw, Ashley. Like this wasn't anything he went through at the first tournament." Drake scoffed. "If anything, I was merciful by not having the next Sonic the Hedgehog and Blazblue character appear in this section."

Before The purple-haired man could complain, Drake's phone started to ring. The vampire immediately answered it.

"Ello?" Drake asked. "Uh-huh. Uh-huh."

His eyes then bugged out.

"You don't say? Well, you have my full permission to interrogate him." Drake offered. "Alright, keep me posted. Bye."

With that, he hung up the phone with Ashley looking concerned.

"Who was that, Drake?" Ashley asked.

"Gabe." The winged man answered. "He says that they found the prime suspect for the garlic attack."

"Oh, that's a relief!" Ashley sighed. "Maybe we should get some answers!"

"Hopefully. I admit that I made a few enemies, but who would want to kill me during the revival of the Battle of the Luminaries?" Drake asked.

"I don't know… But whoever did it clearly didn't care who or what they damaged in the process." Ashley said.

Drake gave a serious frown before looking around at the audience and the arena.

(Dome; Interrogation Room)

"Fer the last time, Ah don't know who was behind the garlic attack!"

"And for the last time, if you are truly innocent, why are you obstructing justice!?"

Dingodile winced as Carmelita glared at him with her hands on the table. Naesala stood against the wall with a bored look on his face and his arms crossed.

"Dude, you are only wasting everyone's time, including your own." Naesala muttered.

"Indeed. You were caught red-handed!" Carmelita agreed, pointing her finger.

"Red-handed?" Dingodile asked in disbelief. "Did ya even SEE anything garlic-related on me when ya arrested me?"

"That's clearly because the culprit used most, if not all of the garlic for that stinkbomb!" Carmelita retorted.

"But why would Ah want to attack Drake?" Dingodile asked. "Ah literally didn't even know the mate until he started that recap show fer the Tournament of Kikai!"

"So you were just conveniently close to the Announcer's Booth when the attack occurred?" Carmelita asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Umm…" Dingodile said before giving a sheepish grin. "Maybe."

Naesala rolled his eyes while Carmelita growled at Dingodile's insistence. They weren't the only ones annoyed by this. Gabe, Cole, Wave and Jet with a bag of ice on his head looked in disbelief through the other side of the interrogation room.

"See!? No matter how much I tried to question him, he wouldn't give me a straight answer!" Jet said, pointing with his free hand.

"Yes, he isn't a very good liar." Gabe agreed, crossing his arms.

"Well, at least we found our culprit." Cole sighed.

"Sorry, we are late!"

Everyone's eyes widened before turning around to see Horkeukamui, Pepper and Athena walking over.

"Tch, considering that it is nothing new for the security team, I suppose we shouldn't complain about it." Wave scoffed.

Pepper growled at this. "What was that!?"

"You heard me!" Wave scoffed.

"Ladies, ladies, please!" Cole pleaded before sighing. "So yeah, we got the suspect. Dingodile from Crash Bandicoot."

"Though why would he do this?" Athena asked.

"He wouldn't tell us." Gabe said, shaking his head. "That would also mean telling us why he would be there."

"Well, actually…" Horkeukamui started.

Then, Athena put her arm out, stopping the wolf from speaking further.

"Could you tell us in full detail about Dingodile's suspicious actions?" Athena explained.

"Sure." Wave nodded before turning to Jet. "Tell them, Jet."

"Aight." The green-feathered avian nodded before looking at Athena. "I don't know when the stinkbomb happened, but I think we saw it during the explanation of the Superstar gimmick when me and Wave were overwhelmed by the garlic."

Athena nodded her head. "That matches up with the friends of the vampire victims."

"Wave and I were about to hightail it out of there. But when we saw that at least three vampires were choking. I decided to help with my aeromancy." Jet explained. "However, the garlic clouds spread quicker than we thought and it was headed towards the Announcer's Booth. While I wasn't the only aeromancer, they were going slow on their feet so I took it upon myself to do all of the heavy lifting. Or in this case, heavy running."

"Even when he is being 100% serious, he still manages to find a way to gloat about his speed." Everyone but Wave thought.

"After making the garlic cloud go back, that was when I noticed him." Jet said before pointing at Dingodile, still being interrogated by Carmelita. "Naturally, I realised that it wasn't a coincidence and confronted him."

"What did he say or do?" Athena asked.

"He just deflected all of my answers saying stuff like 'There are no rules for being here' or 'I don't answer to you'. Now tell me that isn't someone who has something to hide!" Jet accused.

Athena, Horkeukamui and Pepper paused.

"And so I decided to do a citizen's arrest on him. However, he didn't go down with a fight." Jet then growled. "I could have won if Mr. Shrimp On The Barby took my hoverboard and used it against me!"

Wave also growled. "He should be locked for a year just for that."

"Riiiight." Cole muttered. "So yeah, when Dingodile knocked out Jet, it was when we arrived and here is what he said. 'Now to make myself scarce before someone ELSE catches me'."

"And after we revealed we heard the whole thing, he couldn't even be bothered to come up with an excuse." Gabe added. "And thus here we are."

Athena frowned before looking through the glass.

"Look, buddy, I don't care what humiliating thing you were doing, assuming for the sake of argument you ARE innocent, then you are still under suspicion of attempted murder." Carmelita accused. "You may lose your chance to enter the arena!"

Dingodile's pupils shrink when he hears this. "What…?"

"Dude, you attacked the announcer of the tournament and may have ruined the entire tournament for everyone." Naesala added. "Do you really think they would want someone like THAT in the tournament? ESPECIALLY after what happened to the second one?"

"But Ah didn't do that! If anything, Ah am eternally grateful fer the Battle of the Luminaries because Ah get a chance ta enter the tournament WITHOUT being under Cortex's thumb!" Dingodile insisted.

"Then, why did you just happen to be there when the garlic cloud was approaching the Announcer's Booth?" Carmelita snapped.

Dingodile paused before narrowing his eyes.

"Ah can't tell ya." He said, sternly.

"Oh, that is a brilliant answer!" Carmelita snapped.

"Ya're right! It isn't!" Dingodile frowned. "However, what Ah CAN tell ya that it is unimportant ta the garlic attack."

"Oh?" Naesala asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Ah have mah reasons." Dingodile said.

Suddenly, Athena's eyes widened at this.

"Tch! I had enough of this!" Carmeltia spat, slamming her palms on the table. "Dingodile, you are staying here until Drake could think of a suitable punishment for you! Until then, you could kiss your third Battle of the Luminaries trip good…"

SLAM!

Carmelita, Naesala and Dingodile jumped as the door slammed open. Athena was standing in the door, crossing her arms.

"A-Athena!?" Carmelita exclaimed before narrowing her eyes. "We were just about to finish off the arrest!"

"I know and that is why I am here." The defence attorney said, sternly. She then glared at Dingodile. "Dingodile?"

"A-Aye?" The dingo-crocodile gulped nervously.

Athena then pointed her finger at him.

"If you let me, I will be your defence attorney!" She announced.

Everyone's eyes bugged out at this.

Except for Horkeukamui who groaned before slapping his forehead and Pepper who chuckled nervously.

"...Well, this should be interesting." Pepper said.

(The Arena)

Mappy yelped before diving to the ground to avoid a punch of a certain purple glowing fist. However, Amanda's other fist zoomed towards Mappy and managed to hit him in the chin, sending him flying back and sprawling across the literally blocky ground. The mouse groaned before propping himself on his hands and knees.

Only for Amanda to launch both fists towards. Mappy's shrank before rolling out of the way. Realising that his opponent was not going to let him go around, he reached into his pocket and pulled out something before throwing it forward. Some kind of blue line that floated in midair. Acting quickly, he ran over and leapt onto it.

The line acted like a trampoline (though it turned yellow the moment Mappy touched it) before he was sent flying forward. Isla's eyes widened before Mappy slammed his police baton. The former cried out in pain before holding her head. Mappy then landed on the ground before swinging his baton into Isla's leg.

Isla hopped up and down on her leg before glaring down at the guilty party. "How are you THIS freaking hard to hit!?"

Mappy smirked. "If you did your research, you would have known that my games revolved around avoiding enemies and collecting items!"

Isla blinked twice. "...So let me get this straight. You are not known for taking on enemies directly or INdirectly. Not bothering to arrest criminals, but acting like a glorified lost and found. And you are BOASTING about it?"

Mappy's smirk vanished. "Hey! It is really dangerous and really distressing!"

Isla shook her head before getting out another spray can and throwing it up in the air, leading Amanda to spiking it like a volleyball towards Mappy. While the improbable projectile didn't strike the mouse directly, the explosion of spray paint did, striking him and making cough. Isla then ran over and punted Mappy right into a tree.

However, Mappy didn't crash into the trunk of the tree, but rather the foliage on top. Regardless, due to its blocky nature, the fall still hurts. Still, it made it harder for Isla to follow up on her last attack, but Isla wasn't one to let up that easily so she chased after Mappy while using Amanda to boost herself onto the tree.

But by this time, Mappy snapped out of his daze and got out a pogo stick and started to bounce on it, dodging Isla's incoming dive kick. Mappy then started to hop around the tree as Isla looked on in disbelief.

"So now we are playing Q*Bert?" Isla muttered. She then had Amanda go after Mappy. The first hand missed the bouncing mouse, but the second hand managed to grab Mappy's pogo stick, making him fall onto the tallest block on the tree. Isla smirked before rushing over to kick Mappy.

…Only strike a door. And not just any door, but a glowing flashing multi-coloured door. Isla blinked twice.

"What in the…" Isla started.

"WHO'S THERE?"

The door then opened up, not only slamming into Isla, but also sending out a multi-coloured ultrasonic wave and crashing into her which sent the graffiti artist flying through the air and over the ropes where the elimination portal was. Mappy sighed in relief before collapsing on his back while putting his hat over his face.

"I owe that woman for creating one of those supersonic doors." Mappy muttered.

"AMANDA!"

That was the sound of Isla snapping out of her daze and calling out to her pair of floating hands. Amanda not only grabbed Isla's hand before she could fall into the portal, she also swung her around before launching onto the same tree she and Mappy.

"Ugh, I know that I would have someone else challenge me to a fight, but couldn't you wait for…" The Micro Cop muttered before sitting up.

If Mappy's face wasn't all white, it would have paled from the sight of a certain girl diving towards him in the form of a dropkick with a vengeful face on her face.

The kick hit Mappy dead-on and sent the mouse flying out of the ring. And unlike Isla, he didn't snap out of his daze in time to go back.

Mappy landed in Chip N' Dale's Rescue Rangers. Unfortunately, he got captured by Fat Cat's gang and had to be rescued by the titular team.

"Deep Mist!"

Kurow Kirishima's eyes widened as he was covered in a mist. He got into a defensive stance while looking around cautiously. He then saw the light of one singular eye. Normally, this would actually freak him out, but he more or less saw it coming before getting into readying his claw while raising his leg.

The moment Faust thrusted his scalpel forward into Kurow, the assassin somewhat teleported behind him (Not unlike Akuma) and jumped up before scratching into Faust's back. As the doctor cried out in pain, Kurow smirked darkly as his success. However, it was short-lived when he felt strong arms around his neck.

"Do you really think you could hide from the face of stealth game protagonists?" Snake sneered, applying pressure to Kurow's back.

Kurow growled before closing his eyes. Then, he and Snake were engulfed in a black orb with scratches revolving around them. While Kurow seemed unaffected, Snake ended up being slashed multiple times. When the attack ended, Snake fell onto his back. Kurow wasn't going to make the same mistake twice and turned his attention to Faust.

That was a wise choice as Faust threw something in the air before lunging forward, swinging his scalpel in a horizontal fashion. Kurow backflipped, avoiding the attack. He then looked up to parry whatever item was thrown at him.

…Only to catch a pink donut with sprinkles. He blinked twice before shrugging and taking a bite out of it. This made Faust cry out in anguish while collapsing on his knees while dramatically holding his head while Snake looked on in disbelief.

"Heh, not only is this nice, but I could actually feel myself being healed." Kurow smirked.

"Good, that means you are prepared for more punishment! ICE TORNADO!"

After Rubia Natwick's shout, Kurow found himself being engulfed in an icy tornado, sending him spinning around while striking him multiple times. Faust was determined to make up for his mistake and put away his scalpel (which should be impossible because it was somehow as long as he was) and put on a pair of his own claws, which was just doctor's gloves with knives on them before pouncing forward and slashing at Kurow when the spell was done.

When the attack ended, Snake and Rubia's eyes widened as Kurow collapsed on the ground. The white-haired young man groaned before getting up. Suddenly, he heard laughter. Raising an eyebrow, he looked around to see half of the fighters stopping what they were doing to laugh and point… At him. Kurow blinked twice before looking up at the screens.

To see his hair turned into an absurdly-large afro.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

After screaming about his new hairstyle, Kurow ran over to Faust and grabbed him from his shirt.

"What did you do to my hair!?" Kurow roared.

"What should have happened at the Battle of the Luminaries." Faust spat.

"Hey, I prefer something along the lines of a black eye or a bloody nose, but this works too." Snake admittedly, during laughs.

Kurow growled before stabbing his claw in Faust's stomach. Snake and Rubia immediately stopped laughing as Kurow showed an alarming amount of strength by lifting Faust over him and started to drain his energy. Acting quickly, Snake ran towards Kurow to save Faust. But Kurow heard him coming and threw Faust into the mercenary, knocking the two of them down.

"You're next, girlie!" Kurow roared before lunging at Rubia.

The redhead shrieked at this. Fortunately for her, Kurow was blinded by anger and his claw swipe was easily telegraphed as Rubia ducked underneath the attack and kicked him in the shin. However, Kurow recovered and returned the kick, knocking Rubia to the ground. The mage was sent sprawling to the ground before weakly looking up.

Only for her eyes to bugged out when she saw Kurow leaping in the air before stabbing forward. Rubia screamed before rolling to the side and allowing the claw to get stuck in the canvas. Rubia then jumped up and swung her staff like a club, knocking Kurow down. She then ran back before casting another spell.

"Flame Lance!" Rubia yelled.

Then, several swords made out of literal fire appeared over Kurow's head and fell onto him.

KABOOM!

Everyone jumped as a giant explosion sent a screaming Rubia flying back until she landed hard on her back. Kurow on the other hand was sent flying out of the ring unconscious with flames on him.

Kurow landed in Dead in Daylight, conveniently right in front of Freddy Kruger. While the serial killer was understandably confused by this turn of events, he just shrugged and sat down and waited patiently for Kurow to wake up. After all, what is the point of killing someone if you can't see the fear in their eyes?

Rubia sat up with wide eyes with Snake walking over with the same expression.

"...Damn, I didn't know your magic was THAT strong." Snake said, finally.

"Neither did I." Rubia admitted.

"That is because his new hairstyle is flammable."

Snake and Rubia turned his head to see Faust walking over.

"All it takes is one flame to make an explosion." Faust explained. "So naturally when a literal flaming sword."

"Ouch…" Rubia winced. She then brightened up, pumping her arms in the air. "But hey, as long as I get my revenge for Caius on that creep, I'll take it!"

"Personally, I would have liked to have the elimination myself, but hey, as long as he had a humiliating defeat." Snake smirked.

"Well said, Solid Snake. Just one more thing. How confident are you to get an elimination on your own?" Faust asked.

The bearded man raised an eyebrow. "Um, pretty confident. Sure, I had a couple of hiccups like the Tournament of Kikai, but I think I have a decent shot."

"Good. That means there is a chance that your only elimination would be one without much effort." Faust nodded.

Snake blinked twice. "...Huh?"

"I want you to eliminate me." Faust elaborated.

Snake and Rubia's eyes bugged out at this.

"Wait, what!?" Rubia exclaimed.

"I am going to be blunt. I never wanted to re-enter this tournament. I only reconsidered at the last minute when by chance I found out that I was entering the same section as Kurow." Faust explained. "And even though he has one of the worst draws, I refuse to watch Kurow last for so long again."

"B-But why?" Rubia asked. "What is wrong with you!? Weren't you more…"

"Shh!" Snake scolded before looking at Faust with a solemn look on his face. "Are you sure that you want ME to do the job?"

"Of course. I want to be eliminated by someone who is confident that they could get more than one elimination or at least someone who shares the same goal as me." The doctor added. "You may not be the only candidate, but you are definitely the best."

Snake paused. "Alright… Crouch down on your hands and knees."

Faust nodded his head before obliging. Snake then walked over and got out his surveillance drone, the Cypher to Faust's back. A few seconds later, the drone started to fly in the air with Faust attached to it. When the drone flew out of the ring, it unattached itself from Faust and allowed Faust to fall into the portal. Snake gave a stern salute while Rubia frowned.

"Why did you stop me from trying to convince him to not give up?" Rubia asked.

"Kid, I know this sounds strange, but when I looked into his uncovered eye just now." Snake said, solemnly. "Trust me… It is not that easy to do so, let alone in a chaotic place like this."

Faust landed in the abandoned hospital of Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. For better or for worse, he fit right in.

Maxima raised an arm to guard against some green lighting. Despite her projectile spell being blocked, Tecna merely narrowed her eyes before continuing her magic not letting up. Maxima merely stayed on the defensive. He then smirked before a hatch on his chest opened up and started to charge energy.

Tecna's eyes bugged out before stopping her assault and flying to the side, just in time to avoid a large energy beam. Seeing that her plan to wear down Maxima failed, she engulfed her finger in green magic before making a triangle with it, making an actual shape appear. Tecna then grabbed it before throwing it at Maxima. The Canadian raised an eyebrow before swatting it away.

However, Tecna then flew over and struck Maxima with green electricity. The latter cried out in pain before quickly returning the favour by activating thrusters on his limbs and launching him at Tecna. Needless to say, the Fairy of Technology did not expect to have a fast, aerial attack and was grabbed right out of the air. Maxima landed on the ground while squeezing Tecna in a bearhug. The latter cried out in pain as Maxima applied the pressure.

"Fire… Wall!" Tecna shouted. This had summoned her green magic shield between her and Maxima. Even with as heavy as the cyborg was, Maxima was sent onto his rear. Despite still in pain, Tecna flew over while summoning energy around her hands. Acting quickly, Maxima grabbed Tecna out of the air and threw her, sending her flying away.

"I have to be careful. No matter how many firewalls I put up in my system, I don't think they will stand up against her magic." Maxima frowned. "I swear… Her powers should be an oxymoron."

Meanwhile, Tecna got up weakly. "You could do it, Tecna. You just have to get past his defences ONE time and could hack him."

"Static Sphere!" Tecna shouted, stretching out her hand and trapped Maxima in a green grid sphere.

"Vapour Cannon!" Maxima yelled, punching both of his fists out and expelling heavy steam from them. While it didn't break the sphere, it was sent flying into forward towards Tecna. The magenta-haired young woman's eyes bugged out at this before throwing herself to the ground, allowing Maxima to go past. The cyborg then crashed into the house, breaking it. On one hand, this finally broke him out of the static sphere.

On the other hand, this did give him an awkward fall and left him. Tecna then flew up with a smirk.

"Compu-Blast!"

Tecna then got out several green spider-like computer chips and threw them into the hole of the house. By the time Maxima snapped out of his daze, he saw one land in front of him. His pupils shrank when he saw one of them glowing before raising his arms to block.

BOOM!

Everyone jumped as an explosion created in the house, making the entire thing collapse resulting in a large cloud of smoke. Everyone looked on in horror.

"What in the hell!?" Ashley exclaimed from the Announcer's Booth. "We specifically stated in the rules that there would be NO killing! To think we would have this issue with a hero!"

Tecna merely smirked. "And to think that I would have to remind everyone of one of the first rules in medical science. Always make sure that your enemy is alive."

"She DOES have a point." The Millennium Star offered. "Take another look."

Everyone turned their heads to see the dust clearing and showing Maxima on one knee. He was clearly taken by the collapsing house, but he was still alive. Tecna smirked before flying over and grabbing him with green electricity. Maxima cried out in pain as magic ran through him. When the attack was done, Maxima hung his head while slumping his arms.

Tecna nodded her head. "Alright, let's see if this would work. On your feet."

Maxima then did what he was told with a blank look on his face

"Now salute." Tecna offered.

Maxima did a salute.

Tecna gave a smirk. "Do the Hare Hare Yukai chorus dance."

Maxima then started to do a particular dance.

"Aru hareta hi no koto. Mahou ijou no yukai ga." Maxima sang in a monotone voice. "Kagirinaku furisosogu. Fukanou janai wa."

"Oh, wow! I didn't expect that you would sing as well!" Tecna giggled while clapping. "Well, I think I had my fun. Not exactly a major upgrade from my previous 'elimination' of Luise, but still an upgrade. Now eliminate yourself."

"Eliminating my so-called controller's self." Maxima said.

Tecna's smile vanished. "Wait, what?"

Maxima then grabbed Tecna's legs and started to spin around in the form of a giant swing. After a few spins, he let go and sent Tecna flying out of the ring, too dizzy to fly back.

"Well, what do you know?" Maxima asked, dusting his hands together. "My firewalls CAN stand up to magic!"

Tecna landed in the first Watch_Dogs game where she put the hackers to shame with her technopathic powers.

Huff N Puff Wolf growled before pouncing forward. However, his targets, Orcane and Jigglypuff, leapt out of the way which left him scratching the canvas. The two then rushed forward and struck Huff N Puff Wolf in the sides with their tail and both feet respectively. Huff N Puff Wolf cried out in pain before collapsing on his face. Orcane and Jigglypuff then jumped on the wolf's back.

"Get off!" Huff N Puff Wolf roared angrily before getting up and throwing Orcane and Jigglypuff off of him. He then flipped his tail to strike Jigglypuff to stun her temporarily. Huff N Puff Wolf turned around and pounced again at Orcane. However, the orca-dog was prepared as he shot out bubbles at Huff N Puff Wolf. The crossdresser was sent staggering back.

"Dude, come on! If you want to beat me up, could you do it without getting my nightgown wet!?" Huff N Puff scolded.

Orcane blinked twice before turning to Jigglypuff. "Then, why did he enter a FIGHTING tournament wearing it if he doesn't want it to be ruined."

"I mean in his defence, you CAN enter a fighting tournament AND be fabulous at the same time." The puffball retorted with a shrug.

Orcane rolled his eyes. "You can't talk to a Fairy-type Pokemon about these things."

"Stop insulting me in a language I don't understand!" Huff N Puff roared, angrily

With that, he inhaled before exhaling, sending out a powerful gust of wind. Orcane and Jigglypuff were flying backwards, but Orcane recovered by self-righting him in mid-air and sending a stream of water out of his blowhole, propelling him forward. Jigglypuff didn't have much problem because she could float, but it still took her much slower to return.

Which left Orcane to fight Huff N Puff Wolf alone for the time being. But Orcane didn't mind as he ran forward and shot out a blob of water at Huff N Puff Wolf. But the lupine merely narrowed his eyes before getting into a defensive stance.

This somehow created a blue spherical barrier that appeared around him for a moment and in that split-second, the blob of water was deflected onto a stunned Orcane, striking him in the face. Huff N Puff Wolf smirked at this. Being in a game where you could potentially deflect projectiles is nice.

Huff N Puff Wolf then ran forward and did a series of scratches to Orcane, striking him multiple times. Huff N Puff Wolf was about to continue the assault until Jigglypuff finally rejoined the fight by rolling into Huff N Puff's side. Orcane then recovered before narrowing his eyes and flipping himself forward and body-slamming onto Huff N Puff Wolf's stomach.

However, in doing so, Huff N Puff Wolf ended up getting the wind out of him. Literally. With his eyes widening, The crossover sent out a stream of wind into Orcane, not only getting the aquamancer off of him and away. However, he recovered by spiralling around and surrounded himself with water.

But while he did, he was right next to the fight between Angela, Vanessa and Korra. Particularly when the latter was pulling back and collecting water to launch a powerful punch. However, in doing so, she ended up attracting the water surrounding Orcane and by extension, the orca-dog himself.

Korra then punched forward at her opponent… Only to accidentally launch Orcane at the same time where the aquamance crashed into the stunned Avatar and sent her onto her face. Orcane shrieked as he was sent flying. Angela and Vanessa's eyes bugged out as they jumped back and allowed Orcane to fly out of the ring.

Orcane landed in Legend of Zelda: Age of Calamity where he helped Mipha and Sidon against Waterblight Ganon."

Angela and Vanessa watched the whole thing with wide eyes and slack jaws. Korra slowly raised her head with the same expression.

"Umm… What just happened?" Korra asked.

Huff N Puff Wolf and Jigglypuff watched the whole thing as the three well-built women. Jigglypuff then puffed herself up before glaring up at Huff N Puff Wolf. It took the crossover a few seconds before he finally noticed the Pokemon looking up at him.

Huff N Puff Wolf blinked twice before shrugging. "...What?"

As the crowd let out a loud cheer, Jigglypuff pointed at where Orcane was tossed and yelled angrily. Not that Huff N Puff Wolf could understand her words, but he had a good idea what she was so mad about.

"What? You are blaming ME for getting your ally eliminated! Not only did you both attack ME, but I did so by ACCIDENT!" Huff N Puff Wolf spat. "AFTER he body-slammed with his part-orca whale weight!"

Jigglypuff continued to float up to Huff N Puff Wolf and grabbed him by his collar (somehow) and started to slap his face from back to forth. Huff N Puff grunted in pain before swinging his claw at Jigglypuff, managing to get her off of him. However, the Fairy-type wasn't going down that easily before floating back.

Huff N Puff Wolf narrowed his eyes before breathing in and sending out a big gust of wind into Jigglypuff, sending the Pokemon over the ropes. However, she quickly recovered and merely floated her way back in the ring. Huff N Puff Wolf narrowed his eyes before walking forward.

Before turning around and jumping up, letting out another gust of wind out of his mouth. This propelled the wolf backwards at an alarming rate. Jigglypuff was not expecting this and took the attack head-on before falling out of the ring.

Jigglypuff landed in Balloon Fight. Seeing where she landed, she shrugged before she decided to float through the level.

(Hotel; Geese's Room)

Billy Kane looked in the dresser mirror with a stunned look on his face. After a few moments, Geese Howard came into view with a raised eyebrow.

"Never fancy you for a mirror-gazer." Geese noted.

"H-Huh? Oh no, Sir, it is not that!" Billy insisted before scratching the back of his head. "It is just that… I can't remember the last time I entered a King of Fighters tournament, canon or otherwise, in a suit."

Geese raised an eyebrow. "Huh. You DO have a point. We usually fight in more formal attire. The only times we dressed in our business clothes are as alternate outfits. I admit that I can't even pinpoint a reason why I suggested that we will fight in these."

"Speaking of 'we', with all due respect, Sir, I still can't believe you asked me to team up with Yamazaki for a THIRD time." Billy frowned.

"Ugh, I know. But you know as well as I do why we can't rely on Hein this time around." Geese muttered, rolling his eyes. "Not only is Yamazaki someone who could keep up with us, but as long as we blind him with dollar signs, he would do anything."

"I guess… Still pissed that we were regulated to DLC. Even though we were in the base roster in XIV." Billy muttered.

"Tch. Let them do that." Geese scoffed. "Makes our appearance even more suspenseful. For now, let's focus on the tournament."

"Right. Let's show everyone that we still got it!" Billy smirked.

Geese let out a hearty laugh. "It is as if we lost it!"

Billy returned the laugh. Yes, things seemed to be looking up for them at the moment. Both have mid-late draws so they both had a decent shot and they will be appearing in XV. Granted with a savoury man, but that had never stopped them before. Plus, they don't have to worry about being distracted by Bison's plots. Especially after what happened at the first Megamix Tournament.

Suddenly, there was a knocking heard at the door.

"I'll get it!" Billy offered before making his way to the door. He then turned the knob and opened it.

…Only to see nothing.

Billy blinked twice before growling. "Okay, who is the dumbass that thought playing ding-dong ditch on Geese Howard's room was a good idea?"

"Um, now here."

Billy raised an eyebrow before looking down to see a lone Goomba.

"Um, what do you want?" Billy asked.

The Goomba gulped nervously. "Sorry, but I came to tell you that there was an explosion in the laundry room.

Geese and Billy's eyes bugged out at this when they heard this.

"What!?" Billy exclaimed.

"It is as I said! There is a huge explosion in the laundry room!" The Goomba explained.

Billy's pupils shrank. "But that's where…"

He then ran out of the room.

"Billy!" Geese gasped, holding out his hand.

"LILLY!" The pole-fighter shouted while running down the halls.

Geese ran over to the doorway. At first, he wanted to run after Billy, but he wanted to get some answers first.

"What the hell happened!?" Geese demanded.

"W-What do you mean!? I literally just told you!" The Goomba insisted.

"I know what you told me! How did the explosion happen!?" Geese elaborated, narrowing his eyes.

"I-I don't know!" The Goomba said.

"How could you not know!?" Geese challenged.

The Goomba winced. "Look, I do not know! I actually just arrived when it happened. When I heard that one of the victims was Lilly Kane, I came all of the way here to tell her brother!"

"Laundry rooms don't normally have explosions." Geese frowned. "Could this be a terrorist attack?"

"I don't know, man. What I DO know is that it was NOT pretty." The Goomba explained.

Geese paused with a worried look on his face. He then closed the door behind him before running off. The Goomba just let out a deep sigh.

"Well, was that sufficient enough for you?" The Goomba asked.

Then, I-No walked around the corner with a seductive smirk.

"Oh, it is and THEN some." She reassured. "I just hope that the others will be just as competent in their job."

(Dome; Bar)

"And by the time I came to from my Spongebob meme coma, everyone but Vega and F.A.N.G. left, not wanting anything to do with this madness!" M. Bison explained.

When Bison was done with his explanation, Rainbow Mika Nanakawa, King, a recently-awoken Hinako Shijou, Kim Kaphwan, Sally, Elizabeth and pretty much everyone in the bar looked at him with wide eyes and slack jaws. The only exceptions were Vega and F.A.N.G. who let out a deep sigh.

"...So let me get this straight. The main villains this time around are the Goketsuji sisters because they are competing against each other to win your baby?" King asked, blinking twice.

"Yes…" Bison said before taking a deep drink from his glass.

"I can't believe you! How the hell did you manage to cause trouble at nearly every UVR tournament, even the ones where you didn't mean to!?" R. Mika accused, narrowing her eyes.

"I'll have you know that Master Bison had nothing to do with the Tournament of Kikai!" F.A.N.G. accused.

"Yeah, I wanted to come into this tournament rested and ready from my vacation!" Bison exclaimed. "I even had this large, elaborate plan! A plan that even managed to convince Ganondorf to side with me after what happened at the Okron Tournament! And yet all of it… Just crash! All because of some stupid family feud!"

"First time?"

Everyone turned their heads to see Paul Phoenix, Steve Fox and Asuka Kazama sitting at a table, glaring at Bison for this comment. This actually made the dictator chuckle sheepishly.

"Forgive me if I am not sympathetic to your plight." King muttered.

"Agreed. Evil can never be forgiven!" Kim added with another drunk hiccup.

Bison glared at King. "I don't want your sympathy or forgiveness! I want your alcohol!"

"Seriously… We need something to drown out the fact that we got hijacked by two ugly fossils!" Vega agreed.

Hinako blinked twice. "Wait, should you really be telling us all of this?"

"Bah, those old fogeys THINK that they are adding to Master Bison's master plan, but in truth, they sabotaged it! We NEEDED most of their 'teams'!" F.A.N.G. spat. "As far as I am concerned, they could crash and burn for all I care!"

"Oh, really?" R. Mika asked, narrowing her eyes. "In THAT case, you wouldn't mind telling us everyone who is involved said 'competition'!"

F.A.N.G. narrowed his eyes behind his shades. "We merely told you because we wanted to convince you that we are not with them! We owe you not…"

"Okay, done." Bison muttered.

Suddenly, F.A.N.G raised his arms in the air. "I will provide the list!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at this

"Typical F.A.N.G." R. Mika muttered before sighing. "Hey, as long as you are writing down their names, could you also tell us what both teams are planning?"

Vega threw up his arms. "How should WE know? Both teams left because they presumably believed that WE would continue the original plan!"

"If anything, you guys should know more than us considering that two of you were fighting two of the villains" F.A.N.G. scolded.

R. Mika let out a sigh. "Well, might as well go after one of the people on the list and make our way from there."

"No, no, no! You can't just settle for any sideshow you come across!"

Everyone's eyes widened before turning their heads to see.a young woman sitting alone at the bar. She wore a purple-and-pink harlequin-like outfit, had pale blonde hair and… Wore a skirt literally made out of books.

"You are a wrestler, are you not?" The woman asked, getting up from her seat. "Shouldn't you want to be in the spotlight? The main event? The moment the audience everyone was waiting for?"

R. Mika blinked twice. "Um, I mean, yeah."

"Then, why are you settling for ANY villain on the list?" The woman asked.

"As opposed to what?" Hinako asked.

The woman breathed in. "Alright, fine. Let me, the great sorceress and star of Tales of Berseria, Magilou, fill you in! Magikazam!"

Everyone blinked twice at this as Magilou took in a deep breath.

"Now we established the teams are going around with the respective philosophies of the Goketsuji sisters, right?" Magilou asked. "Now if you know Power Instinct, then you would know that Otane is basically just Luigi if MatPat's theory about Mario is canon!"

"That… Shouldn't be so accurate." King said, blinking twice. "And yet it is!"

"Basically, she wants to rule things with a kind heart But not Oume. She is the TRUE villain of the two, wanting power!" Magilou explained. "She believes that they are done with an iron fist!"

R. Mika's eyes widened in realisation. "Oh, I see where you are going!"

"Yep! Oume is the more cruel one of the two so there is no doubt that her plans are more sinister than Otane's!" Magilou explained.

"Ah, that makes sense!" Hinako nodded. "You are asking that we will go after the bigger threat!"

"Exactly!" Magilou grinned, spreading her arms.

"Wait, are you sure that is a good idea?" King frowned. "Otane may not be as cruel as Oume, but she is STILL working with villains to impress the face of fighting game villains."

"I mean, we COULD go after ALL of the villains, but we would be wasting time going back and forth!" Magilou explained.

"She is right, King!" R. Mika said, standing up. "I am not saying that we should ignore Otane's team, but the sooner we take down Oume, the more breathing room we could do it!"

"Here, here, let's start at the top and work our way down!" Hinako cheered, clasping her hands together.

"Now THAT'S what I want to hear! No cutting corners! It is all or nothing!" Magilou cheered.

"Alright, I am in!" R. Mika nodded. "I already used to be in one of these villain plots so I have experience!"

"And I have been wanting to see if my sumo training hasn't gone rusty due to a lack of work!" Hinako smiled.

"And I… Ah, I ain't got an excuse! I am perfectly content with just watching the tournament!" Magilou laughed. "But this whole thing is so chaotic that I HAVE to see where this ends up!"

R. Mika nodded her head before looking around. "Anyone else want to come?"

"Sorry, it is not that I am not interested in this, but Drake entrusted me with this job and SOMEONE has to look after these three!" King frowned, jerking her thumb towards Bison, Vega and F.A.N.G.

"It is not that I don't WANT to help." Asuka frowned before growling. "But I am sick and getting tangled in long fighting game family feuds."

"Same!" Paul spat as Steve sternly nodded.

"Then, I will…" Kim said, getting up.

"Yeah, no." Sally muttered, without missing a beat as she and Elizabeth made Kim sit back down.

"...I think we all know how WE feel." Bison muttered as Vega and F.A.N.G. nodded their heads.

R. Mika frowned. "Okay, I could understand all of your reasons, but it is really just us three!"

"Think of it this way, Mika." Hinako offered. "At least we don't have to worry about low morale."

"Well said, sumo-girl!" Magilou cheered before looking at F.A.N.G. "Well, toothpick, we want that list! Chop-chop!"

"Yeah!" R. Mika and Hinako cheered, pumping their fists in the air.

F.A.N.G. growled. "How dare you talk to me like…?"

"F.A.N.G., write down the names." Bison muttered.

"I shall make sure not to delay you ladies' trek any further!" The assassin shouted before writing down the names.

King paused before looking back and forth between the overly-enthusiastic newly-formed female trio, the sulking Shadaloo trio and Kim being dragged away from said Shadaloo trio by Sally and Elizabeth.

"...The problem with being a bartender is that you have to be the one to NOT drink."

(The Arena)

"Love Me Whip!" Angela Belti shouted while lashing out a while engulfed with flames. Vanessa Lewis yelped before jumping back. However, Korra just narrowed her eyes before holding up her hand, catching Angela's whip while engulfing her hand in water, making the flames sizzle out.

"Trying to take ME down with elementals?" Korra challenged, raising an eyebrow.

Angela scoffed."Yeah, you're right. Better take you down the old-fashioned way. GET OVER HERE!"

As an anguished scream from Scorpion could be heard, Angela pulled on her whip and forced Korra over to her before performing a hard uppercut, sending Korra flying in the air. However, Vanessa ran over and despite Angela being more muscular, the bodyguard still managed to run over and tackle Angela to the ground and started to punch her face.

Angela grunted in pain before punching her fist out, striking Vanessa in the air and sending her into the air. Despite both being forced into the air, the moment Korra and Vanessa saw each other, they immediately continued their assault with Vanessa punching Korra in midair. The Avatar managed to block the punch before sending out a gust of wind from her palm.

While said gust of wind was not as strong, it was more than enough to send Vanessa flying back down. Angela got into a stance before grabbing Vanessa in the form of an Argentine Backbreaker before throwing her down to the ground. Just in time for Korra to do an axe kick forward while engulfing her leg in rock. Angela raised her arms to block it.

However, she learned the hard way that no matter how, you can't block a falling rock without a good amount of pain. As Angela staggered back waving her hands to get rid of the pain, Korra jumped up and engulfed her foot in water before doing a spin kick knocking Angela away. As Angela staggered, Korra ran over to continue the assault.

"Thunder Wall!" Angela shouted, slamming her fists on the ground which resulted in a bolt of electricity. Unlike with Angela's first elemental attack, Korra did not see the second one coming and got zapped. The Water Tribe member cried out in pain before falling down. Angela then smirked before body-slamming Korra, knocking the wind out of the latter.

Korra then flipped backwards before landing knee-first onto Angela's back before Vanessa started to beat Angela down. Korra groaned in pain from the added pressure before making wind surrounding her, sending Angela and Vanessa flying in different directions before crashing on the ground.

Both Angela and Vanessa groaned before looking up to see Korra summoning fire around her hands. Both women just narrowed their eyes before walking over. Korra then spun out the flames at each other of her opponents.

"Love Me Whip!" Angela shouted, lashing her fiery whip at the fireball, negating. Vanessa on the other hand, prompting to slide underneath it. The latter then got up and ran towards Korra. However, the Avatar narrowed her eyes before slamming her leg on the ground, making a burst of stalagmites. Vanessa shrieked before staggering. Angela then smirked before rushing over and readying her whip before lashing it out forward.

"LOVE ME WHIP!"

Vanessa's eyes widened before turning her head to see Angela lashing out her fiery whip at the bodyguard.

However, much to Angela and Korra's shock, Vanessa caught the whip. However, unlike when Korra caught it, Vanessa had no aquamancy or anything to protect her hand from the burns. Taking advantage of Angela's shock, she pulled on the whip and swung it around with the stunned animal-tamer still on it. After a couple of spins (where Korra ducked after the first one), Vanessa let go and sent Angela flying out of the spin.

Korra looked at Angela vanishing into the elimination portal before looking back at Vanessa. "How do you manage to grab her whip with no bending!?"

Vanessa then smirked before showing how burnt her hand truly was. "Pure grit."

Angela landed in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While she was initially taken back by the bombardment of questions from Pierce the Eagle about her build, she smirked and started to ask his questions.

(Announcer's Booth)

Ashley blinked twice before looking at Drake. "Animal Crossing? You chose ANIMAL CROSSING as that tournament's 'running gag' node?"

The vampire chuckled nervously as he scratched the back of his head. "I admit that even I got into Animal Crossing last year."

"Okay, fair, but the node can't give us THAT much in terms of being a running gag." Ashley noted.

"You would THINK. But there is a reason why New Horizons is one of the highest-selling games on the Switch." Drake shrugged.

(The Arena)

In the spot of where the house used to be before Maxima and Tecna's fight stood a mini-block fort with the same materials of said house. Then, a block and an antenna rose out of the wall. Steve and Captain Olimar looked around cautiously.

Suddenly, something exploded right next to the wall, breaking part of it.

"We are under attack at three o'clock!" Olimar warned.

Steve nodded his head before running over with a sword to prepare for the intruder. However, in doing so, this left Olimar all alone to take a chakram connected to a chain to strike him in the side, knocking him down. As his Pikmin shrieked in fear, Ninjara then let onto the fort wall and sent out his Triblast, striking Olimar with three mini-missiles.

As Olimar cried out in pain, Steve tried to run to Ninjara's defence and swung his sword at him, but the ninja was too quick and backflipped out of the way before disappearing in a puff of smoke. When Ninjara reappeared, he sent out a chakram into the back of Steve's head. Olimar growled before throwing a white Pikmin at Ninjara. Only for him to disappear again.

"Ugh, and I thought Greninja was a pain to fight against." Olimar muttered.

Suddenly, two long chains wrapped themselves around Olimar before pulling the latter back. As the astronaut shrieked, Ninjara threw him away. The Pikmin jumped before running out of the block fort to chase after their leader. Ninjara nodded his head before looking at Steve. So far, he has succeeded in his mission to separate Steve and Olimar, but he knew that they wouldn't stand down forever.

Ninjara then sent out his Chakram arm at Steve who merely swung his sword at it, deflecting it away. However, it left him wide open to Ninjara's arm, striking him multiple times. Steve staggered back before recovering (Or at least how it looked to Ninjara) and summoned wings on his back to fly into the air with his sword.

Ninjara narrowed his eyes before sending both of his arms at the approaching Steve, but the blocky man then quickly swung his sword, managing to deflect both ARMS away. And when he got close enough, he flew towards Ninjara and swung his sword at him. Or he would had if he didn't vanish AGAIN… Steve ended up crashing to the ground in an ungraceful manner. Ninjara then reappeared on the wall and sent out his Chakram arm at him.

Until two winged Pikmin flew out of nowhere and managed to grab the downed Steve before carrying him out of harm's way and to safety. Ninjara's eyes widened before looking to the side to see Olimar sternly making his way back. Ninjara narrowed his eyes before spreading out his Chakram arm and swinging it in a horizontal fashion.

Olimar's shut eyes widened before whistling for his Pikmin to throw themselves to the ground and they all obliged. However, Olimar wasn't as flying as he got hit by the chain of Ninjara's arm and sent flying onto it. Despite being in pain from the first attack, he grabbed onto said chain for as Ninjara retreated his arm back and by the time the ninja realised what happened, Olimar took a leap of faith and headbutted Ninjara in the head.

Ninjara fell off of the wall and onto his back groaning from the headbutt. Suddenly, he smelt something. Getting up and turning his head, his eyes bugged out when he saw a TNT block with a trail of gunpowder leaving to Steve who just lit it with a match. Ninjara tried to teleport away, but it was too late.

BOOM!

When the TNT exploded, Ninjara was sent flying out of the ring and was too stunned to try to return.

Ninjara landed in Overwatch where he got into a fight with Roadhog.

Olimar sighed in relief before walking over to Steve with the Pikmin following.

"Well, he sure lives up to his occupation. I had less stressful times fighting Ganondorf." Olimar muttered. "Hey, Stever, can I ask you something?"

Steve nodded his head, silently urging Olimar to speak.

"Do you think we should split off for now?" Olimar asked. "Sure, we are a powerful force together, but that would ironically cause more harm than good by attracting people."

Steve paused for a moment before nodding his head.

"Good. Maybe then we wouldn't have so many people going after us." Olimar offered.

In the name of the Rule of Three, Steve nodded their head before going their opposite ways. Unknown to them, Isla and Rubia poked their heads out of the outside block fort with blinking eyes.

"...Well, THAT'S anti-climatic." Isla muttered.

Rubia puffed her cheeks. "What do you want to do? Cancel this alliance?"

"No. Those two are still threats, even it should be easier to take them down now.." Isla scolded before climbing over the wall to go after Steve. "We are not fighting with each other like we initially thought."

Rubia just shrugged before walking after Olimar

Elena shrieked as she ran over the way of several laser shots from above. Cortex laughed evilly as he stood on top of a tree as he continued to open fire on the ground. Elena used her skill with Capoeira to move out of the way. However, Cortex managed to get a lucky hit and strike her in the side, knocking her down. Elena groaned before looking up at Cortex.

"Hey! It is no fun for anyone if you stay up there and camp!" Elena scolded.

"I don't know what you are talking about, girlie!" Cortex laughed. "I am having a lot of fun!"

Elena narrowed her eyes. "June! I need some help!"

Cortex's smirk vanished. "Um, June?"

Suddenly, one of the cows stops wandering for a moment before running over to Elena's side. Before Cortex (and pretty much anyone else) could ask what the hell was going on, June crouched down which allowed Elena to climb onto the cow and stand on her head. The cow then lifted herself up.

"MOOOOOOOOO!"

Elena was sent flying up into the air and landing on the tree. Cortex yelped before aiming his blaster, but Elena already attacked first by swinging one of her leg and kicked Cortex away, sending him bouncing on the tree. Cortex groaned before sitting up and glaring at Elena. …Before glaring at the Announcer's Booth.

"The cows are not stage hazards, my butt!" Cortex roared, angrily.

"I mean I WAS right! Minecraft cows don't usually attack. Not even in retaliation!" The Millennium Star insisted.

"Besides, part of the fun of this stage switch is that people are forced to adapt to the new stage and Elena did just that!" Drake added.

"Maybe if you didn't spend so much time kidnapping animals and mutating them, you would have more affinity with them!" Elena scolded, crossing her arms.

"SHUT UP!" Cortex roared before firing a green shot. The projectile struck Elena in the chest and sent off of the tree. Cortex grinned before jumping towards the edge to see where the Kenyan woman had fallen. ..Only to see Elena holding on to the tree with one hand, making Cortex's face fall.

Acting quickly, she flipped forward and kicked Cortex in the face. The mad scientist cried out in pain before falling on his back. Elena then stood up before kicking Cortex again. Normally, she wouldn't be this aggressive, but even she knew that Cortex was a dangerous man. Cortex flew on bouncing painfully a few times before landing on his side. The mad scientist groaned before looking.

Only to see Elena flip forward. Cortex yelped before jumping to the side. The yellow-skinned man then jumped back while shooting his blaster at Elena, but the white-haired woman easily dodged them. Cortex just continued to jump back while shooting at Elena, even using his weird aerial headbutt to get more ground.

This went on for a full minute. Then, Cortex and Elena stopped to pant heavily, putting their hands on their knees.

"You know… You may have more endurance, but that doesn't always translate into stamina." Elena said, during pants.

"True… It would be me who would be riding out of steam first." Cortex admitted before smirking. "Good thing I thought of it."

With that, Cortex shot ANOTHER shot at Elena. But the capoeirista easily jumped over it before scolding Cortex.

Or she would had if the shot didn't destroy the block into pieces. Elena wasn't expecting this and crashed down the tree and fell off of it where she ended up falling into the portal.

Elena landed in Kamen Rider Fourze where she became friends with Gentaro.

"Ha! I knew that simpleton would forget that the blocks here are breakable!" Cortex laughed. "No one makes a fool out of Dr. Neo Cortex!"

Suddenly, the tree shook for a moment. Cortex then fell backwards before crashing down it. The good news, he didn't fall out of the ring like Elena did. The bad news, it was still a hard fall.

"Ugh, not again." Cortex groaned. "What happened THIS time?"

It was then he saw the angry face of June glaring into his eyes. Cortex blinked twice before giving a nervous grin.

"Umm… Got milk?"

June mooed angrily before raising her front legs. Cortex yelped before getting up and running off with June giving chase.

"Someone better remind me to complain about blood-breath and the glorified Christmas ornament later!" Cortex roared. "This is definitely a part of the stage and this is DEFINITELY hazardous!"

Chun-Li and Shadowgeist watched the chase with exasperation. The latter then looked at Chun-Li.

"You know… This is all your fault." The anti-hero muttered.

Chun-Li jumped at this. "Excuse me!?"

"If you didn't interfere with my fight, I would have dealt with table-head much sooner!" Shadowgeist elaborated.

"I know you, Shadowgeist!" Chun-Li scolded, narrowing her eyes. "If I let you be, you would do just as much damage as the villains you are attacking!"

"If most of the damage is forwarded to said villain, who cares?" Shadowgeist countered.

Chun-Li shook her head, silently asking herself why does she even bother? So she kicked her leg out at Shadowgeist, but the cyborg raised his arms to block the attack. He tried to punish Chun-Li with his own kick, but the Interpol agent quickly flipped backwards before landing on her hand and getting back into position.

"Kikoken!" Chun-Li shouted, getting out her iconic ball of energy at Shadowgeist. However, the anti-hero easily swatted it away with his hand before advancing forward.

"Aegis!" Shadowgeist shouted before doing a shoulder-barge into Chun-Li's face, hitting her multiple times before flying through the air and painfully bounced to the ground. Shadowgeist then jumped up high into the air before planning to land on Chun-Li. Hard. The Chinese woman looked up and her eyes bugged out.

Acting quickly, she rolled to the side and dodged the attack. But she saw still sent flying a few feet from the ground. Shadowgeist raised his leg to make up for his mistake, but Chun-li was just as reactive.

"Spinning Bird Kick!" Chun-Li shouted before spinning around upside-down with her legs out and kicking Shadowgeist in the face. She then finished the attack with a double-kick to his chest. As Shadowgeist staggered back, Chun-Li did a series of kicks to the cyborg's face and stomach, not giving him a chance to block or counter.

Or so she thought as despite the assault he was on the receiving end of, Shadowgeist grabbed Chun-Li's leg before lifting her off the ground before throwing her away like a rag-doll into the side of Steve's block fort. Chun-Li groaned before getting up while holding her arm.

"Aegis!"

Chun-Li's eyes bugged out before jumping to the side, just in time to avoid Shadowgeist's shoulder-charge, causing him to crash through part of the wall. Chun-Li then ran over and did a series of kicks to his back, striking him multiple times. Shadowgeist grunted in pain before swinging his hand behind him.

However, Chun-Li ducked underneath the attack before leaping on top of the block wall and started to do more kicks, this time to Shadowgeist's head. The cyborg then decided to take away Chun-Li's advantage.

"Death Government!" Shadowgeist shouted, punching the ground and sending a giant wave of black and dark green energy into the wall, breaking it into pieces. Chun-Li yelped before running back on the wall to avoid the wall. Shadowgeist just smirked darkly behind his mask as he watched his foe run away.

Chun-Li then flipped backwards, not only jumping over the destructive wave, but also managing to flip all of the way back to Shadowgeist and landed on his shoulders. Realising where she landed, Chun-Li acted quickly with her feet around Shadowgeist's face and flipped backwards again, this time, taking Shadowgeist with her. When the flip ended, Shadowgeist was sent sprawling across the ground. Normally, this wouldn't hurt that much, but he ended up going underneath the bottom rope.

Shadowgeist landed in Batman, particularly right next to Red Hood. Needless to say, both criminals AND the Bat Family had a tough ten minutes.

Ridley growled before roaring and sending out a series of fireballs that bounced on the ground.

"SAIHA!"

That was the one of Yuri Sakazaki, holding up her hands and creating a shield of energy in front of her. This deflected the incoming projectiles right back at Ridley. The purple dragon's eyes widened before taking the fireballs to his body. Tiffany Lords then ran in and did a series of punches to his face before ending with a flip to Ridley's chin.

Ridley was sent flying in the air, but then recovered himself by flapping his wings. He then flew towards while dragging his sharp tail across the ground. Yuri and Tiffany then jumped out of the way, allowing him to go back.

"Ko-Ou Ken!" Yuri shouted, sending a short burst of energy into Ridley's back. However, the space pirate merely grunted in annoyance before spreading his wings out and struck Yuri in the face, knocking her down. Ridley was about to strike Yuri while she was down, but Tiffany then ran over and punched at him.

However, Ridley swerved his head to the side to avoid before slashing at Tiffany. However, the American woman was faster than she looked and swerved out of the way. Tiffany then swung her fists upwards, striking Ridley and sending him into the air. Tiffany then leapt up after him to do an aerial combo.

However, unlike most opponents Tiffany could fight against, Ridley could fly and quickly recovered before swinging his claws at Tiffany, knocking her down. Ridley smirked before diving at the dazed Tiffany.

"Chou Upper!" Yuri shouted, jumping in front of the diving Ridley and doing a jumping uppercut to the dragon, knocking him out of the air and onto his back. This gave Tiffany enough time to get up.

Ridley groaned, sitting up before glaring at the guilty party. "You two are really annoying!"

"Good, because we don't give a crap about you!" Yuri smirked, punching her fist.

"You shouldn't have shrunk! It makes it easy for us to combo you!" Tiffany added, getting into a stance.

"Really? ANOTHER big joke?" Ridley muttered. "Oh, right, I'll play your game! I will show you how big I really am!"

With that, he got up and shot a fireball at who just rolled her eyes.

"Saiha!" Yuri shouted, creating her energy shield again and deflecting the fire ball. However, that was what Ridley was hoping for as he quickly flapped his wings and dashed forward, not only soaring under the reflected projectile, but crashing into Yuri AND Tiffany. Ridley then continued flying until he stopped, sending Yuri and Tiffany crashing into the tree.

Both women groaned. Then, Ridley then struck his stinger tail right into Yuri's arm. The Kyokyugen practitioner cried out in pain.

"Yuri!"

Tiffany gasped. She then growled before rushing forward and punching Ridley in the face, knocking him away. She then went over to Yuri.

"Are you alright!?" Tiffany asked, crouching down.

Yuri winced while holding her wound. "No…"

"Don't worry, I could heal!" Tiffany offered.

"R-Really? You mean like a white ma…" Yuri started.

Suddenly, Tiffany kissed Yuri on the cheek. The latter and Ridley's eyes bugged out at this as tiny angels flew around Yuri while playing horns. Much to her surprise, her wound had started to heal up as if it was a Cure spell from Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts.

"Damn…" Yuri said in awe.

"Ha! Do you really think that healing will stop you!?"

Yuri and Tiffany turned their heads to see Ridley crossing his arms while laughing.

"Spare me. I am the arch-enemy of the embodiment of female protagonists! And even SHE had trouble taking me down!" Ridley boasted.

Yuri and Tiffany got up with battle poses and narrowed eyes.

"In fact, I am going to prove it here and now." Ridley offered.

"Oh yeah, creepazoid? How?" Tiffany challenged.

"Sure, Kim Possible's kiss had healed most of Danette's injury, but not completely." Ridley said. "How about you use that move again?

Yuri blinked twice. "...So let me get this straight. You want us two young women to kiss each other while you just stand there watching?"

"I know that I am not the trustworthy type, but I promise that I will not do anything." Ridley insisted.

Tiffany narrowed her eyes. "Ha! We…!"

Suddenly, Tiffany felt a sudden wind as a blur zoomed over to a surprised Ridley. The blur revealed itself to be a furious Yuri.

"KYOKYOGEN OUGI!"

With that, she started to do a series of super-fast punches and kicks to Ridley's face and stomach. Taking a small break to do a couple of poses.

"ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!"

When Yuri stopped the assault, Ridley was wobbling on his feet dazed. Yuri gritted her teeth before winding her arm for one final attack.

"CHESTO!"

Yuri then finished her Climax Super with a hard uppercut, sending Ridley flying high into the air before dropping like a stone out of the ring. Yuri panted heavily as she glared where Ridley went.

"Wow, you sure called HIS number!" Tiffany smirked, putting her hands on her hips. "He just wanted to attack us while we were distracted!"

"H-Huh?" Yuri asked, looking back. She then gave a nervous chuckle. "Oh, yeah. That is totally what he was trying to do."

Ridley landed in Spyro the Dragon where a bunch of Rhynocs mistook him for an ally for the titular character and dog-piled him. Veryyyyyyyyy stupid mistake.

Two blurs zoomed at each other, resulting in an explosion of sparks. The blurs both revealed themselves to be Haohmaru and Hibiki Takane standing on opposite sides with their respective blades. A second later, they both got up and turned towards each other.

"CYCLONE SLASH!" Haohmaru shouted, sending an orange tornado forward. But Hibiki easily ran around it and started to dash around Haohmaru. However, the ronin just grinned as he had his eyes on her the entire time. Hibiki then finally ran at Haohmaru and swung her katana. However, Haohmaru easily blocked it.

But Hibiki quickly turned around and swung her katana, but Haohmaru actually turned around and blocked the second attack, resulting in a power struggle between the two sword-wielders. Haohmaru's caffeine-infused grin grew bigger while Hibiki narrowed her eyes.

Haohmaru then found an opening and kicked Hibiki in the stomach, knocking her away. Hibiki fell onto her back hard, but quickly got up.

"EARTHQUAKE SLICE!" Haohmaru shouted, flipping forward and swinging his katana downward. However, Hibiki swung her katana out of her sheath, parrying and stopping the attack. As Haohmaru landed on his feet, Hibiki swung her katana at Haohmaru, who easily blocked it.

"HA HA HA! YOU THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHAT I, THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU, AM GOING TO DO!" Haohmaru taunted. "BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO! STRANGE, ISN'T IT!?"

Hibiki blinked twice. "Um, not really. I kinda knew what I was getting into when I challenged you."

Haohmaru's grin vanished at this. "AW, COME NOW, HIBIKI! EVEN THOUGH WE ARE FIGHTING, WE SHOULD STILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE MEME CULTURE THAT IS PRESENT AT THESE THINGS!"

Hibiki groaned, holding her forehead. "Good thing whatever is causing you this way also gives you god-like endurance. I doubt you would have won the first Ultimate Video Rumble otherwise."

Silently deciding that there was no point in trying to reason with Haohmaru. Forcing the ronin to end the conversation, Hibiki swung her blade at Haohmaru who quickly blocked it with his own weapon before the two got into another power struggle. However, Haohmaru used his more muscular frame to push Hibiki towards one of the turnbuckles. (Yes, there are still some visible.)

Hibiki then threw herself on her back, taking Haohmaru off-guard and allowing him to trip over her. Hibiki then got up and swung at Haohmaru. However, the dark-haired man rolled onto his back and blocked the attack with his katana. Hibiki did not see this coming and staggered back. Haohmaru then got up and readied one of his attacks.

"CYCLONE…"

Hibiki rushed to the side and got ready to punish Haohmaru for his mistake.

However, it was she who made a mistake when she forgot that Haohmaru could fake out his projectile attack.

"RENDING TREMOR SLASH!"

Haohmaru did a jumping uppercut with his sword, sending Hibiki out of the arena.

Hibiki landed in Soul Calibur where she was forced to fight against Setsuka.

Two twin swords clashed against a single one. Lloyd Irving and Hero/Eleven then started to be put in a power struggle with each other, trying to gain ground. Then, electricity started to engulf Eleven's sword. Lloyd was startled by this and fell onto his rear. Eleven then sent out a fireball at Lloyd who easily swatted it away while still on the ground before rolling back.

"Demon Fang!" Lloyd shouted, sending a wave across the ground towards Eleven who stepped out of the way. The Dragon Quest protagonist then put his hand to his chin in thought.

"Acceleratle!" Eleven shouted. He then ran over to Lloyd at an alarming speed that he didn't go before. Lloyd yelped before quickly blocking the attack. Eleven however dashed behind Lloyd and slashed him in the back. Lloyd cried out in pain before spinning around with his swords out, trying to slash Eleven. But the magic knight easily stopped out of the way avoiding it before going to try again.

"Tempest!" Lloyd shouted, flipping forward with his swords out. Not even Hero could avoid them as he ended up being struck multiple times before falling back. Hero landed on his back before slowly got up. By this time, he felt like his speed buff going away. However, he still had his other magic.

As Lloyd was recovering from his own arte, Hero charged up electricity in his free hand and after one good charge, he sent out a bolt of electricity forward. Lloyd took the attack before screaming in pain and getting ready to prepare another one of his spells.

"Kaboom!" Eleven shouted, sending a large fiery orb forward. Lloyd's eyes bugged out before hearing the words "Kaboom" and scampered away. Just in time as the orb exploded, sending Lloyd flying through the air until he crashed onto the ground. He groaned before hoisting himself on his swords.

"Ugh… I wish I could have a couple of spells for myself." Lloyd groaned. "That could literally any good spell he sees fit from…"

Then, his eyes widened in realisation. Acting quickly, he got up and ran over. He had an idea. It wasn't a great one, but it was still one that could work. He rushed over to Eleven who sent out a fireball at his opponent. But the twin swordsman dodged before putting his plan into motion!"

"Lion Blade!" Lloyd shouted, jumping up and swinging his swords downwards. However, Eleven easily blocked it. Even though the latter's face was clearly bewildered.

"Umm, isn't it Tiger Blade?" Eleven asked.

Lloyd didn't say anything, but just sent out a wave with a swing of his sword. "Angel Fang!"

"That's Demon Fang." Eleven corrected, side-stepping the projectile

Lloyd then ran forward and swung both of his swords at Eleven who quickly blocked the attack with his sword before kicking his foot out and catching Lloyd in the stomach. The scarfed young man staggered back before narrowing his eyes.

"Pow Hammer!" Lloyd roared, pointing his sword at Eleven.

"...That's your friend's arte!" Eleven scolded.

"Firaga! Thundaga! Blizzaga!" Lloyd shouted, swinging his swords at Eleven.

"Those aren't even Tales spells!" Eleven exclaimed

"I am the Warrior of Light! With my swords, Soul Calibur and Soul Edge, I will rescue the Star Spirits!" Lloyd shouted before lunging forward. "Burning Knuckle!"

"Did my last attack really mess with your senses THAT much!?" Eleven shouted, blocking the Sonic Thrust. "I have to get rid of you before you hurt someone, including yourself!

"No, you will NOT throw me into an acid pool!" Lloyd snapped before performing his Grave Blade. "Now taste my Earth Rune!"

Eleven got struck by several bits of a rock. Lloyd then sent out a Demonic Chaos (Which he called a Spread Shot)/ He had to eliminate him before this got any weirder, Time to use his Magic Burst, his strongest spell.

"Kafrizz!" Lloyd shouted, doing his Blazing Tempest forward. But Eleven stepped out of the way before performing

"KAMIKAZEE!"

Eleven's pupils shrank at this as Lloyd'yelped before diving behind a block.

"No, wait!"

BOOM!

An explosion appeared underneath Eleven, making him fly like a rocket straight out of the ring and into the barrier protecting the audience. As the audience winced. Eleven peeled himself off of it before falling into the portal.

Eleven landed in Final Fantasy VII. Unfortunately, he landed near a battle the party was just when Cait Sith was about to use his Game Over Limit, but Eleven's appearance startled him and messed up his timing resulting in a Death Joker which knocked out EVERYONE.

Back in the arena, everyone, even Lloyd, watched thunderstruck by this. Then, Lloyd started to laugh.

"Wow, I knew I had a decent chance of this going in my favour, but damn, I didn't expect him to choose Kamikazee by mistake!" Lloyd said while laughing. "Talk about a jackpot!"

"...That shouldn't have worked." Olimar muttered.

"I always said that you have to be on your guard physically AND mentally, but that is just… Wow." Snake added.

"Um, allow me to explain what just happened." Ashley piped up from the Announcer's Booth. "In Super Smash Bros, Eleven could choose any list that pops up on his list as long as he has enough MP. However, he could easily choose the wrong spell if he is not paying attention."

Drake blinked twice. "So wait, are you saying that Lloyd's… Crazy act was…"

"Just that. An act. A way for Eleven to select the wrong spell and put himself at a disadvantage." Ashley sighed, shaking his head.

Drake paused. "...Woah. Out there, but it makes sense to fight RNG with RNG."

(Dome; Gym)

Ryu winced as he was hit by a powerful clothesline. However, unlike other clothesline moves where it just knocked down the victim, the brown-haired man was dragged on the clothesline all of the way to the wall resulting in a large crash followed by a pillar of red light with a purple skull in the middle which destroyed a nearby treadmill.

Ryu groaned before he tried to get up but a leg pinned him in the wall. After getting his wind out of him, he looked up to see Rugal Bernstein staring down with a cruel smirk on his face. Ryu just narrowed his eyes before grabbing onto Rugal's foot and despite the slight height difference, the mascot of fighting games managed to spin Rugal around before falling on his back.

Despite being dizzy for a moment, Rugal immediately recovered and got back to his feet. Only for Ryu to kick his foot out into Rugal's stomach and make the arms dealer skid back on his feet. Ryu then charged up energy in his hands.

"Hadoken!" Ryu shouted, sending his most iconic projectile at Rugal. However, the blond man recovered by Ryu's kick and held out his hand, creating a barrier of black and dark green energy and when the energy ball hit Rugal's barrier, it sent said Hadoken back at Ryu. The shirtless man just narrowed his eyes before rolling forward and ducking underneath the projectile.

"Forgotten that I could deflect your pitiful projectiles?" Rugal smirked.

"No, I just wanted some space." Ryu retorted before rushing towards Rugal.

"Genocide Cutter!" Rugal shouted, swinging his leg up while somehow turning into a blade, making a disturbing-sharp noise. However, Ryu anticipated this as he swerved his head to avoid getting his head cut off.

"Shoryuken!" Ryu shouted, doing a jumping uppercut to Rugal's chin, knocking him in the air. Despite the attack hitting Rugal dead-on, he flipped through the air before landing on his feet before raising a bulky arm to block a punch Rugal then countered with his own punch, but Ryu raised his hand to parry the attack.

Ryu then did a couple of stomach punches to Rugal's stomach before kicking him in the chin, sending him staggering back, but Rugal recovered before pulling his arms back.

"Kaiser Wave!" Rugal shouted, sending out a giant energy ball forward. Ryu's eyes widened as the projectile was too large and fast to avoid as he took it head-on which sent him crashing into a climbing wall. Ryu winced before holding up his arm.

"I do not care what you wish to do with me." Ryu scolded. "Just allow us to take this outside. We are destroying the gym!"

"Buddy, I once killed a man's family for being a pest. I think it is safe to say that I don't really care." Rugal smirked. "Besides, you are the perfect test dummy for my reappearance in King of Fighters XV."

Ryu shook his head. "You are just like Bison."

"I would like to think I am superior, but I suppose I could still take that as a compliment." Rugal laughed.

Ryu rolled his eyes, realising that there was no arguing with him before rushing forward.

"Tatsumaki Senpukyaku!" Ryu shouted, doing his iconic spinning kick towards Rugal. However, the red-eyed man grabbed Ryu's leg out of mid-air before throwing him into the wall. Despite this, Ryu managed to use said wall as a vault at the last second before bouncing off of it before spinning around and kicking Rugal in the face.

Rugal staggered back before stopping. "Heh. You definitely live up to the name of the face of Street Fighter. But it is going to take a lot more than that to knock me out."

Ryu was going to say something until he paused for a moment. He then nodded his head.

"Very well. In that case, I have to finish you off with my Denjin Hadoken." Ryu said.

Rugal blinked his good eye twice. "Um, didn't we already gone over that I could deflect projectiles?"

"Yes, but I am willing to wager that you won't be able to deflect THIS projectile." Ryu boasted.

Rugal let out a mirthless laugh. "Ha! I'll take that wager! Hit me with my best shot!"

Ryu nodded his head before charging up energy, just like before. However, electricity was surrounding said energy. Rugal just smirked before getting into a stance.

Until he felt something wrapped around his legs. With his eyes widening, he looked down to see a familiar dragon grabbing his legs.

"Forget about me!?" Dragaux smirked.

"H-How dare you!?" Rugal roared, angrily.

"Raijin…"

Rugal's good pupil shrank before turning to see Ryu sending to finish off Rugal.

"...Hadoken!"

With that, Ryu sent out his super, sending it straight into Rugal and zapping him with electricity. However, Dragaux was also shocked, much to Ryu's horror. When the projectile had ended, Rugal was sent flying out of the gym while Dragaux fell onto his back with electricity still surging around his body. Ryu immediately ran toward and crouched down.

"Are you alright…?" Ryu asked.

Dragaux slowly opened up his eyes. He then sat up while laughing, startling Ryu.

"Oh, man, did you see the look on Red-Eye's face!?" Dragaux laughed. "That was one of the best 'Oh Crap' faces I had ever seen!"

Ryu blinked twice before chuckling nervously. "Well, as long as you are alright."

"Honest and honourable fighter, my ass!"

Ryu and Dragaux's eyes widened before turning their heads to see Rugal angrily standing in the doorway.

"You knew that scaly-bait had just woken up and used him to get a free attack on me!" Rugal roared.

"Hey, you were the one who said and I quote 'I could deflect any and all projectiles'! And last time I am pretty sure that I didn't grab your arms!" Dragaux retorted, narrowing his eyes.

"Maybe I wouldn't take the chance normally, but like I said, you were willing to use the gym as a battlefield when all you had to do is head outside." Ryu retorted.

"Well, you are clearly out, but I still want to make it a 2-on-1!" Dragaux scolded, cracking his knuckles. "No way I was going to just stand back and let you get away with that cheap blow on me earlier!"

Rugal growled, pondering his chances. Realising that it was not wise to continue, he turned around and ran off.

"Yeah, that is what I thought!" Dragaux roared, spreading out his arms.

He then let out a deep sigh before looking around at the damage that the fight has caused to the gym.

"I had ONE job…" Dragaux muttered, sadly.

"It is not your fault." Ryu frowned, walking forward. "If anything, I am more at fault."

"Oh, save it, I know that if you had things your way, you would have the fight outside." Dragaux spat.

"Still, I feel responsible. Let me help you clean-up." Ryu offered.

"I guess that works out…" Dragaux sighed. "I doubt that Rugal may be the only person going after you."

Ryu paused. "Oh dear… I was so busy focusing on my fight that I didn't ask Rugal why he wanted me in particular."

"Not like he would tell you." Dragaux muttered. "Regardless, please stay with me for a while. I don't doubt that you could take on your potential kidnappers on your own, but I don't like the thought of you being alone."

"I suppose it IS unwise to travel the dome alone." Ryu frowned. He then smiled and nodded. "Very well. We will stay together until further notice."

Dragaux grinned and nodded. Meanwhile, Rugal growled while getting out his phone and calling a number on it. After a few seconds, someone answered it.

"So how is the fight going?" Oume answered.

"Not good. I was actually doing decent until the one who was put in charge of the gym woke up and I knew that I would make too much noise if I continued the fight." Rugal spat.

Oume just let out a deep sigh. "We WERE afraid that you were a bit rusty after just coming back in XV, but damn…

"Hey!" Rugal roared.

"Relax, Red-Eye, I knew that if we were able to successfully kidnap Ryu, it would be much easier than the actual plan itself." Oume reassured. "And having Ryu would have been more beneficial, but it is not the end of the world."

"So go search for the back-up target." Rugal said.

"No. Pinstripe confirmed that he is in the Elimination Seating. The problem is trying to get him to leave without a goody-goody group." Oume noted. "Especially King K. Rool confirmed that there may be one formed by Rainbow Mika."

Rugal's eyes widened at this. "Wait, did you say Rainbow Mika?"

"Um, yeah, why?" Oume asked.

"...I still would have wanted to defeat Ryu and kidnap him." Rugal said.

He then smirked.

"But we may be able to use that to our advantage!"

(The Arena)

Isla gritted her teeth before jumping from one floating block to another in chase of her current opponent, Steve. Said blocky man stood on top of another block that he had created. Isla then instructed Amanda to punch at Steve. However, Steve merely raised up his shield to block the punch.

However, said punch was more than enough to make Steve stagger back and fall off said block. Seeing that she had the literal higher ground, Isla leapt off of the floating block she was on and did a diving kick to Steve's head, knocking him down onto his back.

"Okay, Amanda, go Jojo on his ass!" Isla shouted.

The purple floating pair of hands obliged as she did a series of lightning-fast punches to the downed Steve. The dark-skinned man took said punches for a few seconds before getting out his shield and started to guard against the barrage. However, this did little to faze Isla as she ran over and leapt onto Steve's shield and started to stomp on it hard.

Acting quickly, Steve pushed the shield and sent Isla onto her rear. He then got up while getting out his sword before swinging down while Isla was stunned. However, the graffiti artist yelped before rolling back and avoiding getting slashed. She then got up and angrily kicked Steve in the head.

"Hey, you would have seriously hurt me just now! Or worse!" Isla scolded. "What do you have to say for yourself!?"

Steve paused for a moment. He then jumped up and down while gesturing with his hand.

Isla blinked twice before slapping her forehead. "...Why do I even bother?"

She then threw up a spray can into the air before Amanda spiked it at Steve. However, the miner swung his axe upwards, knocking it away. Steve then walked up backwards while leaving a trail of blocks behind him. Isla's eyes widened before narrowing them, realising what Steve was about to do.

"Oh no, you don't!" Isla snapped before rushing over to the wall of blocks and jumped onto them and ran on them, kicking him in the head and sent him staggering back. Isla then flippd forward to hit Steve with an axe kick. Only for Steve to recover and summon another block over him.

However, said block was made out of LAVA

"YEEHOW!"

Isla crashed on the ground while gripping her burning foot with Amanda frantically flying over and trying to fan them with her hands. Isla groaned before growling.

"Okay, now you…" Isla started.

Then, she saw a minecart approaching her.

CRASH!

Before she could even shriek, the minecart made her fly into said vehicle. The minecart then continued on until it went towards the ropes where the moment it crashed, it sent Isla flying out of the ring.

Isla landed in Jet Set Radio where the police mistook her for a rudie and tried to arrest her. Emphasis on "tried".

"Icicle!"

Captain Olimar yelped before diving to the ground, just as an icicle appeared from the ground. Rubia Natwick decided to try another spell, but Olimar threw the closing Pikmin next to him and onto Rubia. The mage shrieked as said Pikmin latched onto her and started to beat her.

"Get off me, you weird vegetables!" Rubia shrieked as she struggled to get her attack off of her.

Olimar then ran forward and grabbed a blue Pikmin before striking on the ground. Rubia cried out in pain before puffing up her cheeks in anger and attempting to return the favour with her staff. Olimar yelped before running to the side to avoid said strike before kicking Rubia in the leg.

Rubia hopped her unhurt leg a few times before holding her other one. By the time she recovered, she yelped before underneath a Pikmin swing from Olimar. Acting quickly, she jumped up while stretching her hands upwards. The improvised attack managed to hit Olimar.

As Olimar crashed on the ground in pain while the Pikmin ran over to him, Rubia jumped back before casting another spell.

"Ray!" Rubia shouted, summoning rays of light onto the ground and struck Olimar and the Pikmin multiple times. Not only Olimar was in pain, but a good chunk of his army turned into ghosts. Rubia was about to create another spell, but Olimar thought quickly, despite being in pain and threw a purple Pikmin. Rubia yelped before throwing herself to the ground, stopping her spell.

Rubia angrily raised her head. "Aw, come on! You are supposed to be a zoner! How are you so good close up too?"

"Well, while I have more limited options for close-range compared to nearly all of my nodal companions, I am STILL from a platform fighter." Olimar reminded. "While you don't have a single physical arte to your name."

"Don't talk that way to me!" Rubia angrily roared before rushing Olimar.

Olimar's shut eyes bugged out as Rubia kicked him hard, sending him flying back and painfully bouncing across the ground. Olimar groaned before looking up to see Rubia casting another spell.

"Eruption!" Rubia shouted. However, Olimar remembered what the spell looked like and thought quickly, grabbing three red Pikmin and holding them underneath him. Just in time as an eruption of fire appeared underneath him.

However, because the red Pikmin were immune to fire, they absorbed the brunt of the spell and Olimar was sent flying forward through the air. Rubia yelped as Olimar blew into his whistle while pointing at Rubia. Then, two winged Pikmin appeared and flew towards Rubia, grabbing her by the shoulders. As the redhead struggled to break free, the winged Pikmin had already flown her over the ropes and dropped her into the portal.

Rubia landed in Fairly OddParents where Crocker mistook her for a fairy and tried to catch her. She promptly set what little of his hair left on fire.

Rinwell yelped before diving to the side to avoid a boomerang. However, she knew that she wasn't out of the woods yet as she not only had to deal with the boomerang, but also the wielder.

"Aqueous Surge!" Rinwell shouted. Then, three orbs of water surrounded her. Just in time as not only did the boomerang clashed with one of said orbs, but also a fiery arrow. Despite having her projectile pincer attack fail, Sticks the Badger just scoffed before firing a few more flaming arrows. Rinwell quickly dove to the side to avoid them.

"Tempest Whirl!" Rinwell yelled before engulfing herself into a giant green tornado. Sticks narrowed her eyes before rushing to the side with her bow. But that was what Rinwell was hoping for.

"Placid Pool!" Rinwell shouted, doing a flip before landing hard on the ground with a splash of water with a surge of said element heading towards Sticks. The conspiracy theorist was actually taken off-guard as the wave hit her and turned into a geyser, sending her high in the air.

Rinwell smirked before she finally started to cast a spell. This time, summoning a ball of blue light over her book. However, she wasn't done yet as she had the ball of light engulf her entire book.

"Freeze Lancer!" Rinwell shouted. She then summoned a bunch of icicles around Sticks who was just recovering. The budget yelped before acting quickly, ducking and diving under the icicles and they zoomed at her. She then even vaulted over the final icicle.

Only to hop while shaking her hands, trying to get rid of the coldness. Suddenly, she heard giggling and looked to the side to see Rinwell laughing at her. Sticks growled before gesturing with her hand. Suddenly, her boomerang then sprang up to life and right underneath Rinwell's legs.

Rinwell stopped giggling before falling onto her rear. After Sticks got her boomerang back, she rushed over to the downed mage and was about to strike her with her retrieved weapon. Until Hootle flew in and started to fly around Sticks angrily.

"Hey! The announcers said Rinwell! Not Rinwell and Hootle!" Sticks scolded, trying to swat the owl away with her free hand. "Get off!"

"Good work, Hootle! Now get back!" Rinwell offered, getting up. The owl obliged. "Swallow's Flight!"

Rinwell then created three mini-buzzsaws made out of wind and flew towards Sticks, cutting through her. The badger staggered back before recovering as the two young women glared at each other.

"Haoh Shoukou-Ken!"

Rinwell and Sticks raised an eyebrow before looking in the direction of the voice. Only for Rinwell to be blasted away by a giant energy ball.

Sticks blinked twice as she watched Yuri Sakazaki eagerly running past her.

"Exciting!"

Sticks' eyes widened before flipping backwards. Just in time to avoid a dive kick from Tiffany Lords.

"Oh, right… The only people who didn't get an elimination yet are me, the mage with the owl and the cheerleader." Sticks mused before narrowing her eyes. "Fine by me. Let's get this 'interrupt battle' over with!"

With that, she threw her boomerang at Tiffany, but the blonde swerved her head out of the way before dashing forward. Sticks just jumped back to avoid a kick before dashing forward and pulling on the other leg. Tiffany yelped before falling on her back. Sticks' boomerang then returned to her hand.

Sticks then ran over and swung her boomerang at Tiffany like a club. However, the cheerleader yelped before rolling backwards to avoid the attack. She then kicked her foot out, which Sticks raised her boomerang to block. Tiffany then got up and did a cartwheel forward, but Sticks ran to the side and swung her boomerang into Tiffany's back.

The Pacific High Student staggered forward before turning around. Only to see Sticks engulf her boomerang in ice before throwing it forward. Tiffany yelped before dodging to the side. Sticks then got out her bow and fired an arrow at Tiffany. But the blonde flipped forward, vaulting over the projectile.

On onto Sticks, wrapping her legs around her.

"Let's batsu!"

With that, she started to spin around while still on Sticks (despite Tiffany being bigger than Sticks) resulting in a series of hearts floating around.

"Wonderful!" Tiffany shouted, ending the attack and sending Sticks flying out of the ring.

Sticks landed in Sam and Max: Freelance Police where she spent the latter half of her ten minutes swapping conspiracy theories with Bosco. The former half were, of course, them interrogating each other.

"Yahoo! I got another elimination!" Tiffany cheered.

"Chou Upper!"

Tiffany turned around to see Yuri doing her uppercut on Rinwall, sending her out of the ring (and into Dragon Quest where she watched Hootle try to interact with the Tockles.)

"Oh, you got another one too!" Tiffany smiled.

Yuri grinned, dusting her hands together. "I knew that finding a fight to interrupt would help us!"

Korra sent her palm out, sending out a stream of fire forward. However, Vanessa Lewis jumped to the side, avoiding the projectile. Korra just continued to send projectiles forward, but Vanessa just ran around, avoiding the projectiles. Vanessa then dove behind the pile of blocks.

"That won't save you!" Korra shouted before pulling her arms back as if she was performing a Hadoken and sent out a stream of fire forward. However, that was what Vanessa expected as she leapt onto the highest block before leaping off of it just as the stream destroyed the blocks.

Korra's eyes bugged out as Vanessa tackled her to the ground and started to punch her face in. Korra grunted in pain before putting her hand on the ground and using her earth-bending to make the arena. With Vanessa stopping her punching due to the shaking, Korra quickly turned the tables and flipped Vanessa onto her back before punching HER face into

After being punched a few times, Vanessa put her foot onto Korra and threw her over her. The two women then got up with Korra engulfing her fist in water before punching forward. However, despite being covered by an element, Vanessa caught the fist with one hand before punching Korra in the fist with the other one.

Korra staggered back before recovering. "Heh, you are playing for keeps."

"Kinda have to. Virtua Fighter may have returned to the world recently, but we still have a lot to prove." Vanessa admitted. "I thought anyone would think of inviting us back if it wasn't for said game."

"I kinda feel the same way." Korra admitted.

Vanessa jumped at this. "What!? But you are part of a huge crossover of the biggest Nicktoons of all time!"

"I am and I am not referring to our cartoons!" Korra said. "I am referring to the technical game we were representing. First, we had our release date on the same day as SORA'S reveal. Next, it got completely overshadowed by Multiversus."

"To be fair, even though we didn't see much of Multiversus, it still had more personality than your completed game." Vanessa noted. "I mean no more voice acting. Really?"

Vanessa immediately got hit in the face by a small geyser of water. As much as she hated to admit it, she totally deserved it. Regardless, she was not going to let Korra get away with that. She rushed over and punched her fist out, but Korra quickly raised her hands to block the attack.

Korra then engulfed her hands in wind, making Vanessa skid back on her feet. Korra then summoned earth from underneath her before going forward. Instead of being intimidated, Vanessa jumped up before kicking Korra and sending her off of her rocky transportation. The Avatar staggered back, realising just bending would not get rid of Vanessa easily.

"CYCLONE SLASH!"

Korra's eyes widened before turning her head to see Haohmaru sending his iconic tornado at Solid Snake. The latter narrowed his eyes before going to block the attack.

"Excuse me!"

Until Korra pushed Snake onto his rear, standing in the way of the projectile. She then crouched down and PICKED UP the tornado before it could reach her. She then walked back towards Vanessa. Haohmaru angrily hopped up and down while Snake just sat stunned.

"HEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THE SIGNATURE PROJECTILE OF THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU!" Haohmaru roared.

"Sorry, but I have to prove something!" Korra apologised before turning back to Vanessa.

Said bodyguard just blinked twice stunned. "I'm not an expert on your show. But that is NOT air-bending, is it?"

Korra just smirked. "Nope. Just a little lack of personality."

With that, she sent out a fireball with her free hand. Vanessa's eyes bugged out before ducking underneath the projectile. That was what Korra was hoping for as she used her water-bending to engulf Haohmaru's tornado before launching it forward towards Korra turning the tornado into a tsunami. Korra was sent flying in the air before crashing on the ground before spitting out water.

"Oh, and spoiler alert. EVERYONE in my node could grab projectiles." Korra smirked before picking up Vanessa and throwing her out of the ring.

Vanessa landed in Tekken where she took out her aggressions on Marduk.

Solid Snake was sent crashing back-first into the trunk of a tree. He groaned before looking up. His eyes bugged out when he saw Haohmaru rushing towards him. Acting quickly, he rolled to the side, not only dodging the incoming katana slash, but giving him enough time to stand up behind Haohmaru and elbow him in the back. Snake then ran up behind Haohmaru and wrapped his arms around his neck in the form of a sleeper hold.

"I think you had your caffeine fun. Time to take a nap." Snake whispered, darkly.

"SLEEP!? THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE MEANING OF THE WORD!" Haohmaru taunted.

With that, he kicked his feet at the tree and used it to vault himself and Snake on their back with the former knocking the wind out of the latter. Despite this, Snake managed to recover and push Haohmaru off him. The two then got up with Haohmaru going on the offensive, swinging his katana at Snake who jumped back to avoid the strike.

Haohmaru just continued the assault with Snake jumping back to avoid being slashed. Haohmaru then did a horizontal swing, but Snake threw himself to the ground to avoid it before rolling forward and bowling over Haohmaru before climbing onto him and punching his face in. Haohmaru grunted in pain before punching his fist out and uppercutting Snake in the chin, sending him in the air.

"CRESCENT MOON SLASH!" Haohmaru shouted, jumping up in the air and slashing Snake while the bearded man was falling. Snake fell to the ground like a rock as Haohmaru gracefully landed on the ground. Haohmaru then did an axe kick while Snake was now, but the latter rolled to the side, avoiding the attack.

Snake got up. "Look, I usually know better than to question a crazie's logic, but why are you so insistent on fighting me? You immediately went after me after eliminating that Iaijutsu practitioner."

"ISN'T IT OBVIOUS? YOU TOLD THAT DOCTOR THAT YOU WOULD GET A SECOND ELIMINATION WITHOUT RESORTING ON HAVING HANDED TO YOU!" Haohmaru retorted. "I, THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU, HAS TAKEN IT UPON MYSELF TO TEST YOUR THEORY!"

Snake raised an eyebrow. "Well I'll be. That actually DOES make sense. Fine, I'll take your challenge."

"VERY WELL! LET'S END THIS SECTION WITH A BANG!" Haohmaru grinned. "CYCLONE SLASH!"

Snake stepped to the side to avoid the incoming projectile. He then got out a grenade before pulling the pin and throwing it at Haohmaru. However, the ronin just laughed before getting his sake bottle and swinging it at said grenade. Snake's eyes bugged before jumping to the side, allowing the grenade to harmlessly go off to a part of the arena to explode

Haohmaru then rushed over and kicked his foot out into Snake's stomach, sending the mercenary sprawling back a few feet.

"EARTHQUAKE SLICE!" Haohmaru shouted, flipping forward and swinging his katana downwards. But Snake quickly rolled backwards to avoid the incoming attack before turning around and running around the tree. Haohmaru grinned before chasing after Snake. Until Snake got out his surveillance drone and rode it to the top of the tree.

"Well, it looks like I got the high ground!" Snake taunted, cupping one hand to his mouth. "What are you going to do about it?"

Haohmaru just smirked.

"CYCLONE SLASH!"

With that, he sent his tornado forward. However, he then RAN TOWARDS the tornado and DOVE into it. Haohmaru was sent flying high into the air, spinning around wildly, but then recovered and landed on the tree just fine. Snake just blinked twice.

"...Why not? It isn't the only out there thing he did thus far." Snake muttered.

"HA HA HA! YOUR CHALLENGE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SIMPLE EVERYDAY CHORE FOR I, THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU!" Haohmaru boasted. "ANY LAST WORDS!"

"Well, yes, I do…" Snake said.

He then smirked before getting out a device with a button on it. Before Haohmaru could question what it was, he pushed said button.

"Timber."

KABOOM!

Then, the trunk of the tree exploded. While Snake was avoiding Haohmaru, he was planting explosives around the tree trunk. The tree then fell towards the portal. Haohmaru, while struggling to get off of it before falling in the portal. But Snake ran over and leapfrogged over him, not only giving himself the boost to jump back into the arena, but stunned even Haohmaru long enough to fall into the portal.

Haohmaru (and the tree) crashed into a small village in Feudal Japan. He groaned while holding his head and ignoring the weird looks he was getting.

"UGH, IT SEEMS THAT THE JOURNEY OF THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU HAS ENDED FOR NOW." Haohmaru frowned. "AT THE VERY LEAST, THAT MERCENARY HAS PROVEN HIMSELF WORTHY OF THAT FIRST FREE ELIMINATION!"

"...Haohmaru?"

The ronin raised an eyebrow before looking to the side. There, his eyes bugged out when he recognised a dark-haired young woman dressed in an orange kimono.

Haohmaru's eyes lit up at this. "SHIZU! OSHIZU, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!?"

The young woman blinked twice before slapping her forehead. "You took the coffee, didn't you?"

"OH, COME NOW, OSHIZU! AS THE ORIGINAL WINNER OF THE ULTIMATE VIDEO RUMBLE, I HAVE TO GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT!" Haohmaru offered.

Shizu just shook her head at this. "You are going to regret it later. Well, regardless, it is nice that we get to spend the next ten minutes with each other."

"INDEED. NORMALLY, I, THE LEGENDARY HAOHMARU, WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE MY TRAINING DURING OPPONENTS WITH OTHER PEOPLE!" Haohmaru grinned. "HOWEVER, I DO NOT MIND SPENDING IT WITH THE WOMAN I LOVE!"

Shizu just sighed. "...What I would give to find out what made you act this way in the first Ultimate Video Rumble in the first place."

Back in the arena, Snake smirked while dusting his hands together. "Well, he DID said that he wanted to end this section with a bang."

He then turned to see who was left. Yuri and Tiffany were exchanging future battle strategies while Maxima scanned the remaining fighters. Chun-Li stretched her legs while Lloyd looked around, subconscious that he was the longest-running fighter. Steve took the time before doing last-minute crafting while Olimar is teaching Pikmin of what to do next. Korra eagerly punched into her fist while Huff N Puff Wolf checked his nightgown for stains. Finally, Cortex…

"WHERE IS A RODEO CLOWN WHEN YOU ACTUALLY NEED ONE!?" Cortex yelled.

Yeah, he is STILL being chased by June. Everyone laughed at this. Suddenly, June was surrounded by a rainbow aura, preventing her from chasing Cortex. The mad scientist noticed this and put his hands on his knees, panting heavily.

"Sorry, girl, but it seems that you won't be able to get your revenge." The Millennium Star said with an unseen frown.

With that, June disappeared into sparkles. Then, everyone was covered with the white auras. Then, they all appeared on star platforms.

Then, the following platforms disappeared. Cortex, Tiffany, Olimar, Lloyd, Maxima, Huff N Puff Wolf and then Chun-Li, leaving Steve, Snake, Yuri and Korra.

"Heh. Nice to see a previous Superstar is in the running to get it again." Snake smirked, looking at Steve.

Then, Steve's platform vanished.

"Whoops, jinxed it." Snake said.

Then, Korra's platform fell off. Snake and Yuri paused before looking at each other.

"Oh, I hope that the superstar is me!" Yuri beamed.

"Same. I have so many plans!" Snake grinned.

Then, one more platform disappeared.

"Congratulations, Yuri Sakazaki! You are the Superstar!" The Millennium Star smiled.

The brunette cheered as she waved to the crowd excitedly with a big grin on her face.

"Thank you! Thank you! You are all beautiful!" Yuri grinned.

Snake pouted. "Aw… I really wanted that cardboard box fortress."

Everyone was so busy cheering on Yuri that didn't notice sparks appearing from behind the Entrance Curtain.
