Opening File: Knightbrace
Knightbrace's true identity is Mr. Jelly. Mr. Jelly had dreamed of being a dentist all his life, but used extreme methods and was kicked out of dental school for trying to put braces on babies. He was then forced to work in his family's candy store, thus damaging kid's teeth rather than cleaning them. This ultimately drove him over the edge. He thus became Knightbrace and sought out to repair the damage he'd done. Knightbrace wears a dark blue/purple costume with a tooth on the front and a large halo-shaped retainer; this causes him to speak with a lisp.
He also wields an extremely large toothbrush.

Opening File: Great Puttinski
Rupert Puttkin was a world champion Miniature Golf player who took the sport very seriously, insisting on it being called 'miniature golf' rather than 'mini golf' and taking offense to it being called a 'game'. He is a very rude, nerdy, and obnoxious person who lives with his mother. He challenged gold champion Duff Killigan to a match and was beaten soundly and thoroughly to the point that Killigan said a kid no older than ten could beat him. This causes Rupert to go insane, donning a costume and dubbing himself the 'Great Puttinski'.

Opening File: Gil Mason
During childhood, Gil Moss went to Camp Wannaweep. He was an avid swimmer, and also somewhat of a bully towards Ron Stoppable, considering him a squeeb. He ended up switching arts and crafts with Ron in exchange for the swim hour, an event that would come back to haunt both of them. Because of the switch, he ended up eventually mutating into a hybrid fish-man as a result of Lake Wannaweep being polluted by Science Camp with mutagenetic biohazard.
Because of this, he ended up wanting revenge on Ron. Having somehow tracked Ron Stoppable down to Middleton High School, a now-teenaged Gil, who has changed his name to Gill to fit his current mutated appearance, has managed to send a fake message about a cheerleading competition somewhere in close proximity to the closed-down camp. In addition, to further ensure that his revenge plans work, he sabotaged all communications from the camp so the squad cannot call 9-1-1. Gill then abducts Barkin and two other members of the cheerleading squad with the intention of mutating them as part of his revenge scheme against Ron, eventually managing to get the entire squad.
After explaining what has happened to him and what his intentions are, he then hunts down Ron with an almost predatory method. Eventually, Gill manages to track Ron to Lake Wannaweep, but Ron ends up tricking Gill into being snared in his trap in a boat that is rigged to crash into the docks. Gill is then placed in a biochem unit to restore him to his human self, although not before vowing revenge against Ron. Gill later escaped custody, thanks to agents of Satyra wanting to recruit him but Gill didn't care for the Satyra and simply slimed his rescuers and fled, eventually making his way into the underworld of GrimmFall.

"When it comes to your health nothing can be overlooked. Your muscles, your organs, even your skin and especially your teeth. If you're not careful, your mouth could rot from the inside out and that could cause a lot of trouble for you." TOM remarked as the file closed.

"ROAR!" Wildmutt jumped off the Rustbucked, snarling at the five villains.
"Wow. He can change into aliens." Gill commented, readying another slime volley.
"Whatever." Knightbrace took off his brace ring. "Now brace for impact!"
He threw the ring at Wildmutt who jumped over the ring as it twirled through the air like a boomerang. Puttinski followed with a series of explosive golf balls that the Wildmutt hastily dodged before colliding with Big Brother. The tall bulky teen grunted as he tried to swat at Wildmutt but luckily the blind alien canine was too fast, leaping onto Big Brother's face and knocking him down. Tubbimura leapt up, slamming his large gut into Wildmutt and sending it flying back into the Rustbucket. Gill was next as he quickly slimmed Wildmutt, gluing it to the downed vehicle.
"Ben!" Gwen shouted.
Max narrowed his eyes as he pulled out an advanced looking pistol. "Okay, buddies. We can do this the easy way or the hard way."
Julie ran over to Ben and placed her hand on the slime. Her eyes flared orange and a blast of fire burned through the slime, releasing Wildmutt who let out a bark of gratitude.
"You are welcome, Ben. But we need a better alien to fight these guys." Julie said as Puttinski let loose a barrage of explosive fireballs. "Can't you change back and try again?"
Wildmutt shook its head, pointing to the Omnitrix symbol and shrugged.
"You mean nothing can work?" Julie reached out and touched the symbol…
FLASH!
In a flash of green light standing in Wildmutt's place was a brand new alien. It was a hulking, broad-shouldered alien covered in natural, yellow armor plating on his back, shoulders, and the backs of his arms. He is mostly white with black on his upper half and has four claws on both of his hands.
"Whoa!" The new alien held up his hands. "What's this guy? Never seen him before."
"And you're never going to again!"
Ben looked up in time to see a fist before it slammed into his face and sent him flying back.
"Ben!" Julie cried out as Big Brother chased after Ben, followed by Gill and Tubbimura.
Just as she was about to rush to help, summoning her fire powers there was a bright flash of light that blinded her and everyone else.
"No, no! Power of Fire not for alien boy!" A high pitched voice rang out.
"Let us leave our friends to play with their new toy!"
Something lashed out and grabbed Julie and she felt herself being pulled off her feet…And over the ledge of the nearby cliff.
"HELP ME!"
"JULIE!"

"Next up: Erika Ahlberg vs Artemis."
A few minutes later Artemis and Erika were facing each other down in the arena. Four screens appear, usually set to randomly choose the setting of the battle but Erika wanted to make a personal request this time and seeing as Artemis had no problem with whatever Erika wanted the four screens settled on the same thing: a purple icon of floating platforms. The four panels receded while Erika leapt off the panel and into the biome below. Gravity biomes began rising up in the four sections that had the biome randomizer screens.
"So that's what Erika is going for." Doyle commented with a grin.
"They are just a bunch of floating blocks." Wally complained.
"Not just that." Ross stated. "They're modified with Gravity Dust for not just lifting off the ground, but controlling their own personal gravity."
"Arty's in big trouble now." Yara remarked, earning a glance from Connor. "She's skilled in archery on the ground but this might mess with her skills."
Artemis carefully looked around, seeing Erika had vanished but knew she was likely going to attack from above. She looked up, watching the biomes rise up and finally she spotted Erika standing on a levitating platform with her pistol, Ran aimed down at her.
"Miss Erika requested this make the terrain extremely difficult. The gravity of the platforms will continue to shift and they are not careful they end up falling into one of the areas below." Extor adjusted his goggles. "Geysers spotting water and hot lava in certain parts of the battle field. They are both going to have to stay on their toes."
"And Erika's been trained to fight in these kinds places, especially lava areas when you consider living with dragons." Scotty remarked.
Artemis pulled out one arrow and held it in her bow.
"And begin!"
(Across the Line by Linkin Park Starts)
Artemis pulled out an arrow and aimed it at Erika. 'Well this is a surprise.'
Since she was a little girl Artemis had been trained to fight almost anyone anywhere, no matter how dangerous the environment might be. Of course not even Sportsmaster, the dangerous mercenary that he is could have come up with or bought a method that would force Artemis to fight in what appeared to be an environment with the gravity constantly shifting. And worst of all Erika had completely taken advantage of that from the start and gained the high ground while Artemis was trapped in the middle of the arena down below.
Not good odds.
But that did not mean Artemis was helpless.
Erika readied her ran, mentally keeping track of the rounds she currently had. 'Twenty.'
She pulled the trigger and from the pistol came the first shot, starting the match. Artemis leapt back, adjusting her bow as she aimed and fired. Rather than hit Erika that arrow released a grappling hook that collided with a nearby platform and pulled Artemis off of the ground, towards the platform.
'Nineteen.' Artemis thought, keeping track of the number of arrows she had as she climbed up onto the nearest platform.
Meanwhile Erika jumped off of the platform she was on, jumping from platform to platform as she searched for a new location to attack.
Just as she landed she looked up and spotted Artemis up ahead with an arrow already aimed at her. 'Eighteen.'
Narrowing her eyes Erika aimed her pistol but Artemis got the first shot in, releasing the string of her bow. Jumping to the side, Erika dodged the arrow and landed on wall, sticking to it because of the artificial gravity.
'Nineteen.' Erika thought as she fired a lightning shot at Artemis.
The apprentice of Green Arrow Artemis jumped as well but the artificial gravity suddenly changed and instead of landing she was pulled onto a wall and slammed into it. In the meantime Erika jumped and landed relatively safe on another platform.
"The artificial gravity is constantly changing on each platform. Erika's got an idea of how long it lasts but Artemis hasn't experienced what's like to fight in an environment like this from the looks of it. She doesn't even know the tell signs when the platforms are to change their setting." Ross remarked. "That's not a good sign."
"Must be why made the personal request in the first place." Doyle remarked with a sly grin. "She wanted to give the kid a crash course."
Superboy was silent as he watched, having faith in Artemis and her skills. In the meantime Artemis quickly ran up the wall she slammed into and made it to the top.
"Okay, so the walls and floor change gravity so I either stick to them or fall off of them. That's great." She muttered, knowing she was going to have a little trouble here.
As an archer she needed time to draw and aim her arrows and no matter how good she was if her concentration was disrupted by worrying about the gravity changing she'd never land a hit on Erika who more than likely has experience in fighting like this. No doubt that's why Erika chose this setting because she wants to try and see how Artemis could handle it.
'All right, Erika.' Artemis thought as she started moving. 'Game on.'
She'd just have to keep moving before the gravity changed and rely on her skills to get a shot in before the gravity changed. There was a shooting sound and Artemis jumped and rolled, dodging an ice shot and looked up to see Erika standing on a ceiling…Or rather her feet were stuck to the bottom of a platform thanks to the gravity settings.
'Eighteen.' Erika thought at her latest shot. 'Seventeen.'
She fired another shot from Ran again just as Artemis fired her own arrow. 'Sixteen.'
The explosive arrow and fire shot collided with each, creating a miniature explosion that blinded both combatants for a second.
"Yow! Feel the heat." Keanu waved a hand in front of his face. "That Viking Princess and the Archer Girl are going all out."
"Miss Erika is testing Miss Artemis in how she can handle such an environment." Extor stated. "Specifically in long range combat."
The smoke cleared but when Erika looked down, or up depending on the perspective Artemis was gone…
The sound of a bow string being pulled back alerted her and Erika spun around, seeing Artemis standing upside down on the bottom a platform across from the one she was standing on. The two started sprinting, aiming and shooting Dust rounds and arrows at each other.
'Fourteen.'
'Fifteen.'
'Thirteen.'
'Fourteen.' Both the archer and the Viking kept track of their ammo as they fought.
Realizing though that they would need to conserve ammo for perhaps a chance to win the fight Artemis decided to try the new mode her bow had been given by Yara and switched it into its bo-staff form.
"All right!" Yara pumped a fist into the air. "Now we're talking!"
Seeing what Artemis planned to do Erika pulled out her sword Aegir and jumped up, meeting Artemis in the air…
Only when they did so they left the gravity of the two upside-down platforms and ended up plummeting down below. Both grappled as they fell to another platform below but Erika was stronger and she shoved Artemis away, landing perfectly on her feet while Artemis again collided with a wall.
"Gah." Artemis grunted as she slid down to the ground.
Erika approached, putting Ran away for the moment and using only Aegir as she charged. Narrowing her eyes Artemis used her staff to block a quick strike while using one hand to hold the staff…And using the other to pull out a loaded crossbow she kept with her at all times. Erika's fast reflexes allowed her to bat the crossbow away while Artemis kicked off the wall with her feet, jumping over Erika and delivering a kick to her back.
Erika stumbled forward but managed to remain standing as Artemis then spun to deliver a strike with her staff. However Erika raised her arm and dragon scales grew over it, easily blocking the staff. She then followed up with a kick that knocked Artemis back.
"Now things are getting serious." Doyle remarked, seeing Erika activate her Semblance.
Artemis grunted as she hit the ground but rolled back and jumped back up to her feet. 'Okay, it's going to be this hard huh?'
She knew Erika was skilled but even then she'd never seen the Viking Huntress go all out except for in that fight with the lava giant and even then she only used her sword. Now she was fighting all out and it was clear she was tough.
Still Artemis was not ready to throw in the towel.
She got up and dashed off; aiming her bow and pulling out a few arrows that she then fired at Erika who pulled her gun Ran back out and shot the incoming arrows, hitting each one.
'Ten.' Artemis mentally counted the last arrows as she ran over to the edge of the platform.
'Eleven.' Erika counted once she finished blasting the arrows fired at her.
She watched as Artemis ran to the edge and fired her last grappling arrow, latching onto another platform and aimed, firing an ice shot that flew past the archer and collided with the arrow that hit a nearby platform. Unfortunately by then Artemis had already been pulled off her feet and her eyes widened when she saw the block of ice that halted her from reaching her destination, leaving her holding onto the rope for dear life since the arrow could not pull her all the across on account of being frozen. She held up her crossbow, aiming to shatter the ice when-
A geyser from below erupted and collided with her, sending her flying up into the air and she fell onto another platform, hard.
"That's three times now…" Artemis grunted as she got up. "I guess three's not always the charm."
"That had to hurt. Especially since she didn't have Aura protecting her." Doyle remarked.
"The strategy was sound but Erika knew they were over the hot spring area. She counted on a geyser being close by when she froze Artemis' grappling arrow." Ross surmised.
North nodded in agreement. "By now Erika has eleven rounds left in her Ran without reloading. In the meantime Artemis cannot replenish her quiver without forfeiting the match, not counting her crossbow."
"Who do you think will win?" Yara asked curiously.
North crossed his arms. "Hard to say at this point. Both are extremely skilled and cunning. It all comes down to who will corner who and that's when the gloves come off."
Artemis looked around, trying to spot Erika who had vanished while she had been hit by the geyser.
It was only a matter of time before she showed herself though.
She heard the sound…
And ducked as an ice shot flew over her head.
Artemis pulled out a net arrow and fired at Erika who jumped up, twisting her body so that her feet landed on the ceiling/bottom of another platform.
'Nine.' Artemis thought, pulling three more arrows.
Erika and Artemis charged forward, firing arrows and Dust rounds again.
'Four.'
'Six.'
'Two.'
'Three.'
Shifting her bow back into its bo-staff form Artemis jumped up towards Erika who pulled Aegir back out, blocking the staff. The two grappled as the gravity changed again, leaving them floating in the air as they fought. They eventually made contact with the lower of the two platforms but this Artemis manages to slam Erika down on the ground by planting her feet on the Viking's chest and kicking off her. Erika grunted as her Aura shimmered, absorbing the kinetic force of the impact.
Opening her eyes, she spotted Artemis aiming and fire another arrow and rolled out of the way. The arrow released a clay putty like substance that was obviously meant to immobilize her but Erika jumped to her feet and brought Aegir and Ran together. Gears shifted, panels connected and both weapons came together, forming a gun-blade.
Artemis looked impressed by that. "Wow."
"A combo weapon. Sweet!" Keanu said with a grin. "You know things are about to get serious."
"That's amazing." Nazz remarked, awestruck by this fight between two skilled Huntresses.
Erika charged forward as Artemis readied and fired her last bow but now that Erika's weapons were combined they had one special feature. The sword Aegir could harness the power of the Dust rounds left in Ran. With a blaze of fire erupting from her sword Erika spun her weapon, creating a literal shield of fire that blocked the punch arrow that was all Artemis had left. Deactivating the fire Erika slammed into Artemis, both of flying off the platform and falling back to the center arena.
Both rose up, Artemis shifting her bow back to its bo-staff form now that her arrows were all used up.
"This is it." North stated.
"Yep." Scotty nodded.
Spinning her staff in her hands Artemis let out a battle cry as she charged and swung her staff at Erika who blocked with her Aegir. While Artemis preferred to use her bow and arrow set she had been trained to fight with other weapons and without them when occasion called for it.
And though her arrows had all been used up she still had her crossbow.
The two opponents clashed, slashed, grappled and spun around each other as they fought. Artemis was holding her own but looked Erika was slightly more skilled as she backed Artemis to the end of the arena against a beam and with one final kick knocked the archer against it. Erika spun her gun-blade in one hand, aiming the pistol end that had two last rounds at Artemis' face while Artemis brought her crossbow, aiming it directly at Erika's heart.
(Across the Line by Linkin Park Ends)
Both remained still as they stared into each other's eyes, both waiting for the other to make the final move.
The tension grew thick…
Until both women slowly lowered their weapons.
"I got an Earth round and a Gravity round. Either one at this range would kill you." Erika explained.
"I have a feeling your Semblance would protect you no matter part I shot at." Artemis herself reasoned. "I could provoke you into firing but I'd be more in danger of getting hurt or killed."
"So…draw?" Erika offered.
"…" Artemis held out her hand. "Draw."
And with that the match was over.
"Just like that?" Rino scoffed. "A tie?"
"It is likely Erika would win but at that close range she'd injure herself and likely kill Miss Artemis. A tie would be the logical conclusion in this case." Extor said with Raven nodding agreement.
For Raven she could see that Artemis was exceptionally trained to fight, perhaps almost as well as Robin. It's not that she didn't a chance in this fight. Rather she and Erika were so skilled that they couldn't risk actually winning without truly harming each other.
"Okay, we have a draw here everyone." Capital G said as the arena's platforms lowered themselves back down. "We'll be taking a short break before the next match."

She opened her eyes, finding herself in a dark looking cave. "He-Hello? Ben? Anyone?"
"She is awake."
"That sound cannot be fake."
She sat up, seeing two pair of azure eyes staring at her from the dark. "Wh-Who are you?!"
"We…" Both eyes glinted as grinning mouths appeared. "Are the messengers of our savior!"
They were obviously insane.
She didn't have to see what they really looked like to know that.
Just as she was about to try and run her entire body suddenly froze up. A feeling of pure chilling numbness shot its way through her body.
Something emerged from the darkness.
It was a Grimm…
A very strange and creepy looking Grimm.
A crystal ball with tentacles attached to it, making it resemble a jellyfish.
A jellyfish with sharp teeth.
"At long last, the elusive Fire Elemental." A voice spoke from the Grimm.
Suddenly the Grimm convulsed as its crystal ball shattered and it fell to the ground, making Julie cry out in shock, trying to crawl away. The Grimm's body dissolved into a mist of dark vapor that formed into something else.
A human or something meant to resemble human with a very pale face, dark veins of red, black and purple traveling down the face, eyes red like the Grimm with a black sclera, and a red glowing light where the heart would have been.
"I have been looking forward to making your acquaintance." The spectral form of Sammael spoke with a smile.
